    “I’ve always referred to myself as the greatest practicer of all time.” – Joel [44:17]

  • Eventually chose L.A. over New York, with support from his wife Sarah.

• Struggles upon Arrival:

  • Couldn’t get a theatrical agent; survived on commercial acting:

    “I was like, I’m gonna do that until somebody stops me.” – Joel [54:08]

  • Soup comes after years grinding—luck, networking, and the steady work of “watering that little piece of the garden.” [56:11–57:32]

Memorable Joel Quote

• On Buying His Way Past Agency Neglect:

  “I bought an eight-pound lobster and like two bottles of wine to go. This makes up for what I’ve been paying you.” – Joel [54:30]

---

2.4. The Soup’s Success and Getting Recognized

[58:53–60:25]

• Signs of Success:

  • Elvis Costello recognizes Joel:

    “Oh, you’re the guy that tells the jokes.” – Elvis Costello [59:18]

• “Never an Out-of-the-Gate Hit:”
  Community, The Soup, Animal Control—each was a slow-burn success, never an instant smash.

---

2.5. Community Movie Update

[60:38–61:18]

• Is it happening?
  “Yeah, at some point… We have all agreed… it is going to happen if all the schedules line up.” – Joel [60:41]

[62:05–64:21]

• Comparison stories from Bobby on being recognized for American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, etc.

---

2.8. Hosting 1% Club and Game Show Challenges

[65:20–66:55]

• About 1% Club:

I keep telling them not to say that. I'm no superhuman. Believe it or not, I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or osa in adults with obesity. Moderate to severe OSA is a condition where breathing is interrupted during sleep with loud snoring, choking, gasping for air and even daytime fatigue. Let's just say it can sound a lot like this.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Lilly, A medicine company.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, welcome to the Bobbycast. Now we do have Joel McHale coming up. Love, Joel McHale. I think Joel McHale is one of the friendliest seeming guys in television or movies. And so I have Eddie here and I just gave him the challenge of who do you think are the nicest guys? We don't know Them?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's tough. We can't know them. It's tough because we know a couple, but we can't pick anybody we know.

[Eddie]

Like, even if we've spent time with them, but really don't know them. Like, they've been around. I kind of know their personality, but we don't know them personally.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it has to be just people that we see on screen and that we feel are super awesome just from the characters they play or the interviews they do.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

If we're betting money on them being awesome people, that's who we bet on. Okay, so I'm gonna remove. And this came up because of that. Because I love Joel McHale. Didn't know. And that interview with him is coming up. He's freaking awesome. He's awesome.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Another one that I'm going to eliminate is Michael Strahan. Because I think I would have picked him because he seems so fun. I have been on GMA a couple times, have interviewed him on this. I would have put him on, but I have a 1% relationship with him. But I'm taking him off. But he would have been there.

[Eddie]

He seems like a really nice guy.

[Bobby Bones]

I love Michael Strahan. Can't get enough.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so we'll go back and forth. I'll let you go first since you're the guest.

[Eddie]

All right. My first one that since Saturday Night Live, I've loved Jimmy Fallon. I feel like he is just genuine. He is who you get who he is just by seeing everything he does on tv. He's so funny. And the fact that he can make fun of himself and how much he laughs at himself. I think it'd be just great to hang out with him.

[Bobby Bones]

Do stories. We read about them. Factor in. Yes. Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I agree with you.

[Eddie]

I know that there's been a few things.

[Bobby Bones]

No, nothing bad, nothing cancelable.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

I just wonder.

[Eddie]

But personality traits.

[Bobby Bones]

To me, what's crazy about Jimmy Fallon is how great of a singer he also is. Because you don't know him as a singer. But then when he actually does try to sing, not just on a show, but he'll go and sing with people at concerts. He's awesome.

[Eddie]

Even when he does, like, Mick Jagger, he sounds so good.

[Bobby Bones]

There have been stories about him, and I don't want to put him on blast, but, like, if he drinks a

[Eddie]

lot, like, okay, that's even more of a reason why I like to hang out with him.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. I don't even know that they're true, but we'd Read stories about Jimmy Fallon at times when he's not working. He gets out of control at this place. But that may also make you like him more.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think if he finds Mike.

[Bobby Bones]

Am I crazy to think those have been real stories?

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so. But also to run that schedule and, like.

[Eddie]

Yeah, man, he's busy.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I like it. He wasn't on mine, but I like it.

[Eddie]

Love, Jimmy Fallon.

[Bobby Bones]

I cheated. I put somebody on my list who I kind of know, and it's unfair.

[Eddie]

Who is it?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna say who it is. It doesn't count.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But I just realized. Kelly Clarkson. Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

You know her? I know she knows you by name.

[Bobby Bones]

She's awesome. I don't. I have to take her off my list. I did put her on before I made the rules. We could have never talked with to them. I have a couple. I was on her talk show. That wasn't that big of a deal. We've spoken before. I saw it at an airport once, and she came up to me and she was like, but. And she lived in Nashville for a long. She's awesome. I'm gonna pull her off the list. Can't do it. Okay.

[Eddie]

She is so likable. She's awesome, man. Like, you know nothing about her, and you just watch her. Like, that's another one who you feel like you watch and you're like. You're really seeing who they are.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. For you. You don't know Kelly Clarkson. Do you love Kelly Clarkson?

[Eddie]

I do love Kelly Clarkson.

[Bobby Bones]

You should love Kelly Clarkson because she's so. She can't be on my list, but consider her for next time we do this.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Kelly Clarkson is amazing. Okay, I'm gonna put Paul Rudd.

[Eddie]

That's a good one.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like he's my best friend. I felt like he was my best friend on Friends back in the day. Cause Paul Rudd married Phoebe.

[Eddie]

They were together on the show.

[Bobby Bones]

On the show.

[Joel McHale]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And so.

[Eddie]

And then that's why you called her Phoebe and not Lisa Kudrow.

[Bobby Bones]

Lisa Kudrow. I did a movie with Lisa Kudrow once.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And if I can say something about her, I sat next to her in a makeup chair and the movie was called Bandslam. I had nine lines.

[Eddie]

Great movie, by the way.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, Underrated movie. I remember when I watched teenage kids. It's clean. It's pretty good.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Paul Rudd married her, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

On the show. And then obviously, he's done everything else. If that dude is a Bad dude, I don't want to live. Then I'm the most wrong judge of character in the history of judges of character. I think Paul Rudd seems like the greatest, most fun, normal, self deprecating. Also actually knows he's pretty good at the same time. So when he says that, it doesn't rub you the wrong way.

[Eddie]

Yeah, dude, you're so right about that.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going Paul waiting about that, Mike. Paul Rudd. I love Paul Rudd.

[Eddie]

And don't you think too like when these actors have certain roles like Paul Rudd's never a bad, bad dude. Unless I've missed a movie where he plays a really bad dude. He's always a likable guy too in his movies.

[Bobby Bones]

I think the roles they played reflect who they are. No, I would say affects what we think because I think there are probably bad dudes that play good people and good people that play bad guys. Ok, but I mean Paul Rudd even plays a criminal in Ant man and he's still a good guy.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I never watch Ant Man. I couldn't get into it.

[Eddie]

He is Ant man, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, I know. I couldn't believe it. I can believe all the other ones. Wolverine, I believe it. But a guy, Spider Man, I believe it. But for some reason Ant Man, I'm just like, that can never happen. It makes no sense. My number one is Paul Rudd. Back to you.

[Eddie]

That's good. My number two is Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling. Never met the guy. And there is again, to my point where you watch every Ryan Gosling movie and you just want to be his friend because he just seems. And it's not fair that he's so good looking. It's not fair.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a half point off for me that I'm jealous of how good he

[Eddie]

looks because he's such a good looking dude, but he's such a likable character in all of his movies that I gravitate towards Ryan Gosling. If there's a movie coming out and Ryan Gosling's in it, I want to see it. Mostly because I just want to see Ryan Gosling.

[Bobby Bones]

So I just think you have a crush on Ryan Gosling better than anything else. But what I would say in Ryan Gosling, not if his defense and more of what you're saying is when he does things like Saturday Night Live, like they know how talented he is and the fact that they enjoy and he's on so many times and that they, they break and they crack a lot with him means they like him.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And if There are people that genuinely like somebody. You can always tell. So if people I like like somebody, I like them. Think the SNL stuff does more for me for liking him as a person than the movies do. Although I do like him as an actor a lot.

[Eddie]

I think he's one of the greatest actors ever. Because, like, weird. Weird to say that there really aren't a lot of. I mean, I can't think you're in love with him.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't think of a. And I get it. He's a really good looking guy.

[Eddie]

Do you know that we've talked a lot about movies, but you know how we've talked about our top five forever? Forrest Gump Shaw, Shank Redemption, the, you know, the same ones. I think La La Land has moved up to my top five.

[Bobby Bones]

La Land is so good. I did not expect it to be good. I know, it's awesome.

[Eddie]

And who's in it?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah. Ryan Gosling.

[Eddie]

Ryan Gosling.

[Bobby Bones]

Emma Stone.

[Joel McHale]

Yep.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I haven't seen the.

[Bobby Bones]

Please, please allow me to respectfully comment on your Ryan Gosling.

[Eddie]

Please.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you just like him as an actor.

[Eddie]

I do, but that also means that I kind of like him as a person.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll let you have it.

[Eddie]

I'm not gonna argue it's like Tom

[Bobby Bones]

Hanks, but it's like, I need to see these people in interviews. I need to see these people.

[Eddie]

Have you seen Ryan Gosling interviews?

[Bobby Bones]

I saw him do a promo for Project Hail Mary.

[Eddie]

Was he funny?

[Bobby Bones]

No. And they had him throw a football.

[Eddie]

Oh, not that. So you're like, I'm not hanging out with this guy.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not that. It's that he is on camera a dude's dude. Good looking, gets the chicks, is also lovable. The Notebook. Awesome. He grew up basically a theater kid. Sure. He was on Star Search. He was in Mickey Mouse Club. Star Search, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Mickey Mouse Club. Singing, dance. So he didn't play a lot of sports. He didn't need to. He was so good. Never really learned to throw a ball.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we see that.

[Bobby Bones]

Someone in his team should have said, instead of doing this Hail Mary, throw for project Hail Mary, let's not throw a ball. Because it looked like if I were throwing it with my offhand.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. Which would be your right hand.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

You know what?

[Bobby Bones]

I kind of like that about him. He's not perfect. So I think it just went.

[Joel McHale]

I think it just went up another point.

[Eddie]

Yeah, good.

[Bobby Bones]

Ryan Gosling's good. That's a good one. Okay, so your two are. Who so Far.

[Eddie]

I have Jimmy Fallon and Ryan Gosling.

[Bobby Bones]

I have like eight. I'm going to go Kristen Bell.

[Eddie]

Really? She seems fun.

[Bobby Bones]

She seems funny. Yeah, she's wildly talented obviously, because. And not even just for like the movies, like forgetting Sarah Marshall. She sings in Frozen.

[Eddie]

She does.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you ever just seen her sing?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

So talent wise, a plus all in. But she married to Dax, they're together. She does the commercials. To me, Kristen Bell seems like that cuttingly funny friend who doesn't have to dominate the conversation. But man, when you go to her, she knocks it out of the park. I feel like Kristen Bell is so likable. I don't think I've ever met her.

[Eddie]

Do you like Dax Shepard?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. I mean I don't not like him.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I respect him.

[Eddie]

Okay. See, I'm not a fan of his. So then I'm always thinking like, okay, well she's married to him, so does that mean that she's not?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I think it means she's even cooler because he's like a normal dude.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like he's like a dude who has his friggin demons. He's had his things from what Michigan grew up, did his whole came to la, was on punk and came up that way. Rights like grinds podcast. Smart guy, intellectual guy. I feel like her being with him makes me like her even more interesting because I feel like I'm not as like cool guy motorcycle as Dax. But I feel some similarities with us with we came up in a way that was very different than a lot of people come up that make it in these areas.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So I think I like Christabel more because she married a Dax Shepard. I'm glad you asked that. I never thought about that.

[Eddie]

Because if you know the person smart spouse, it's kind of like a good indicator of like, all right, what's the spouse like? Do I like that spouse or do

[Bobby Bones]

they have to be a certain way to put up with the spouse? Yes, correct. Like I think you would like my wife more if you knew how hard I was to deal with at times. Like how.

[Eddie]

You're not telling me that, right?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm just saying in general, just like how neurotic I am. And my wife is the funniest person I have ever met. But also she has to deal with this and she deals with it. And no one has ever been the boss over me. Like especially my personal life. I have a boss over me and it's crazy. But Kristen Bell is my. I'm have Paul Rudd and Kristen Bell.

[Eddie]

Man, those are good. Those are really good.

[Joel McHale]

Hang tight. The Bobby cast will be right back.

[Bobby Bones]

And we're back on the Bobbycast. All right, give me your so the

[Eddie]

last one's hard just because it's the last spot and I have.

[Bobby Bones]

So pick one and then I'll pick one and then we can do our honorable mentions.

[Eddie]

Okay. All right, I'm going to go with and I didn't technically meet this guy. You met him. I was there watching you meet him and I was jealous that I didn't get to talk to him. It's Jim Nance.

[Joel McHale]

Oh yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, he's awesome. And mostly explain who he is in case people don't know sports.

[Eddie]

Jim Nance. He is the voice of CBS Sports. He's the, he does the Masters. He talks very softly.

[Bobby Bones]

NFL with Tony Romo.

[Eddie]

NFL with Tony Romo. That's his partner in crime Final four too, right? Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

At least for, at least for he I think he retired from that now

[Eddie]

very, very recognizable voice. I love his voice. The voice is great. But I feel like he is he plays golf, he loves sports and I feel like he would have so many stories, you know, like just and from watching this is based on you meeting him, watching the interaction between you two, he seemed like a very likable guy. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Jim Nance. Just first of all, I was in awe the first time I met him because I'm not cool enough to know know him. I do have a cell phone number which is do. Yeah. But I never once texted it now.

[Eddie]

So you have it. Is it under. What's it under? Jim?

[Bobby Bones]

It has to be. It has to Be just under Jim Nance or, like, voice.

[Eddie]

God, you can't do that, man. If somebody steals your phone and they see Jim Nance, they're not gonna get.

[Bobby Bones]

They're not gonna get my code.

[Eddie]

Okay, yeah, look.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Eddie]

It says Jim Nance.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not gonna text him now, because as we're recording this, the Masters is happening.

[Eddie]

Yes. He's busy.

[Bobby Bones]

So the greatest Gym Nance story. The first time I met Jim Nance,

[Joel McHale]

we were.

[Bobby Bones]

I was playing Pebble Beach Pro Am. You were with me.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You came as my caddy, but you ended up playing with me because I was just like, can Eddie please play? And they were like, yeah.

[Eddie]

And I appreciate that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And so. But we. I met Jim, you were here with me, and I was like, jim Nance.

[Eddie]

Well, before that happened, do you remember? We heard him first.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, there was talking in the room.

[Eddie]

There were so many people, and you can just hear voices. And then you heard. Oh, that's funny. I was there one day, and that chicken was delightful.

[Bobby Bones]

We just hear dance, and we look

[Eddie]

at each other like, is that Jim Nance?

[Bobby Bones]

And he walks up, and he wasn't with, but he knew Charles Kelly, the lead singer of Lady A. Who we were talking to. Yes. And so we're all just standing there talking, and it's like, Jim Nance and Charles Kelly and me and you. And I'm not saying much and you're saying nothing because we both feel like we're somewhere we shouldn't be anyway. And Jim Nant's super cool. He says, hey, I live in Nashville part of the year or two, and that's just him finding something in common. Right. Which is a nice thing that people do. And so I go out and I'm playing in the par 3 for those that are watching. Every once in a while, somebody considers me a celebrity. Every great once in a while. And this was one of those instances. And so I was doing the celebrity par three the day before the Pro Am tournament, and Jim Nance was calling it.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Announcing it. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I'm up and everybody's around, and, dude. And I'm not a good golfer. I nail it. I win my group.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And Jim Nance is calling it. So then afterward, I was talking with Jim Nantz, and he was like, cool, cool. And he's like, I'll be in Nashville. And he gives me a cell phone number. I'm never going to call him. Right. So all good. We're doing a bit, you and I are, about how Jim Nance was not allowed into a certain country club in Nashville. And I said, these people aren't allowing Jim Nance in this country club. They're making him get on a wait list that's like the YMCA not letting Kobe Bryant hop in a pickup game. Like, what are you thinking? This is the guy. He heard that and texted me. He's like, that's the funniest thing ever.

[Eddie]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

And so we become, like, you know, semi kind of friends. But you're right, that's a good pick, because Jim Nance, to me, even when we didn't kind of know him, he's been awesome.

[Eddie]

Well, that makes me feel better about my pick.

[Bobby Bones]

I love Jim Nance, man. I just. I'm too scared to message him.

[Joel McHale]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I wonder, like, when someone gives you their number, like, are they expecting a text? Are they expecting a call?

[Bobby Bones]

If they're expecting it from me, they ain't gonna get it because I also have Mark Grace's cell phone number.

[Eddie]

Have you texted that at all?

[Bobby Bones]

Mark Grace is my favorite baseball player growing up. The one that I. He's like my idol. I just will not text him. So.

[Eddie]

What a shame.

[Bobby Bones]

I know my third pick, Steve Carell.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's a good one. Such a good one.

[Bobby Bones]

My fourth pick, though, was. I mean, I was neck and neck with Steve Carell in the other. I'll tell you who the other one was in a second. Steve Carell just seems like an awesome dude.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I don't know what else I can say. He's done many roles that I love, but he just seems like an awesome guy. He has, like, a bookstore in Rhode island, and I could be wrong about the state.

[Eddie]

Sounds so cool, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody talks so lovingly of Steve Carell. All the people in the office love each other so much, and they. Even though Steve Carell left early to go do his thing in movies, they all were like, we miss Steve so much.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike, what do you say about the bookstore?

[Joel McHale]

Massachusetts?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Close.

[Eddie]

So close.

[Bobby Bones]

Close. They get there by train, pretty much.

[Eddie]

Probably a neighboring state.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Well, he is.

[Eddie]

It is.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so I go, steve Carell at Serena. I bet you he's awesome.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't know him, but if I did, I'd probably be like, eddie, you gotta come meet my friend Steve. He's awesome.

[Eddie]

It's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, give me a couple honorable mentions.

[Eddie]

Okay. I have Ken Jeong, which I think he's so funny.

[Bobby Bones]

And he's a real doctor.

[Eddie]

Right. And so anytime I see him, it's not like he's a funny guy. Where he Tries to be funny. It's just the things he says that are really funny. I like him. Never met him. Here's one that we've met before, but honestly, if, like, we were. If it was just me and him and he saw me, he wouldn't, like, remember me. It is. It's Blake Shelton. I think me and Blake, and we've seen him many times, but I think Blake and I could be really good friends.

[Bobby Bones]

Blake's a really nice guy. I say that as somebody who knows him knows him. Yeah, Blake's awesome.

[Eddie]

Like, I could see us just hanging out and being real friends if we just had that opportunity.

[Bobby Bones]

You sound like everybody with the person that they love as a celebrity. Man, Drake, if he could. If he just knew who I was, Drake, man. Would, like, be hanging out with me. Like, man, dude, Kendrick and I. If he just knew, like, the type of person I was.

[Eddie]

Because Blake comes in the studio, you know, and, like, we sometimes, like, I'll say something, he looks at me and that's it. But that. Then he leaves. I think if he took the time to know who I was, he'd like me too.

[Bobby Bones]

That's kind of psycho stalker talk. But I still agree with you.

[Joel McHale]

They.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna give you my three. This one was almost my top three, though.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

It was either Steve Carell or Tina Fey.

[Joel McHale]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Ooh.

[Eddie]

Those are really, like, yeah, Tina Fey.

[Bobby Bones]

It was hard for me to pick. I think Tina Fey's just delightful. So smart, so funny. She seems so kind that people really talk lovingly of her. That's how you can really tell, too, what you're not.

[Eddie]

I worry about these comedians, though. Not worry about them, but I worry about being friends with these comedians or

[Bobby Bones]

wanting to be funny all the time. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then you're just like, well, what's that other personality that we don't know?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, can I give you a very watered down example?

[Joel McHale]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I go places, and people expect me to be Mr. Life of the party. Say funny stuff. I have so many stories. Hey, tell all these stories at dinner. Am I like that at all?

[Eddie]

No, not at all. No.

[Bobby Bones]

If I need to be. Absolutely. But there's, like, a gear for that. And they all have the same gears. I'm sure. And I bet you that when they're on, they're freaking A plus. Like, if they're comfortable with their own friends.

[Joel McHale]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think she's, like, murdering cats or anything.

[Eddie]

No, not that. But it's like. It's like Robin Williams. Like, he was, oh, so funny, but man, they were just.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's. I think that's a different type of person.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think Rob Williams was like, yeah, I think he was on all the time.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he lived. Maybe not. But also, it could be, you know, some bipolar type situation. Not a disorder. But I'm so introverted until it's time to be an extrovert. And then I'm so extroverted. Like, here I am. I demand attention, and if you don't give it to me, I'm gonna cry and be sad.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's the other way. It's like, I don't want attention. If you give it to me right now, I'm gonna cry and be sad.

[Eddie]

Do you think there are. There are these artists. Artists, like, you know, creatives that are the same?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

On and off.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Always.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. I know some.

[Eddie]

That's cool. See, I feel like Kelly Clarkson is a really good example of that.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I don't think she's as large because you don't have to be, but I think she. Yeah, I think she's just kind all the time. Tina Fey made my list of it. Almost. She almost made the real list. But honorable mentions. I have John Krasinski on there. It could be just because I love the Office. It could be.

[Eddie]

He could be your. Your Ryan Gosling.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Joel McHale]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But I. And he's also like, I gotta do your thing for a second. Watch the stalker thing. I gotta do your thing for a second. He also, like, is really good in, like, muscle roles, too, because he can play, you know, Jim Halpert. He was the nerd.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And then he was.

[Bobby Bones]

What is he, Amazon? He's doing the. He's, like, fighting in wars in Iran. He's the one name.

[Eddie]

Jack.

[Bobby Bones]

Jack Ryan.

[Eddie]

Jack Ryan, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think he's my Ryan Gosling.

[Eddie]

We have crushes on him.

[Bobby Bones]

Now that I say that. And then if I. I'm not gonna steal yours, which is Tom Hanks.

[Eddie]

See, I love Tom Hanks. Like, I love Tom Hanks. And I've always wanted to meet Tom Hanks. He's my favorite actor in the whole wide world. But there was a video I saw where these, like, cameras got in their way. And I think, like, they. Maybe he fell over or maybe his wife fell over. A camera person. And then he just snapped. And not to say that people can't be normal, but when he snapped like that, it ruined all. Every single thought I had about Tom Hanks.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't judge a person on their worst. I know that weakest moment.

[Eddie]

You know, I know that. But if they did that around all these cameras, then what do they do when there are no cameras around?

[Bobby Bones]

But I think they're probably comfortable on all the cameras because they're there all the time. I'm not standing. I'm all good.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Okay.

[Joel McHale]

[Bobby Bones]

[Joel McHale]

Welcome back to the Bobbycast.

[Bobby Bones]

And now we're going to go to one of the most likable people on Television, Joel McHale. He just seems like a good dude. He's funny and he's my next guest here. You know him from hosting the Soup for over a decade, Animal Control on fox, which season five is coming and the finale's coming up April 23rd hosting House of Villains, the Game show, the One Percent Club, the Bear, Yellowjackets, Ted Blended, even hosted the ESPYs and the White House Correspondents Dinner. And he is one of the most likable people on television. Here he is, Joel McHale. Hey Joel, good to see you, man.

[Joel McHale]

Thanks for having me. Nice to be on. How are you doing?

[Bobby Bones]

Really good. We were just talking about campaign donations if you wanted to hop into that conversation.

[Joel McHale]

Yeah, yeah. Where do you want money? Let's. Let's do it. I'm Contributing to the wig party this year. Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, they've been out of. They've been out of touch for a while. I feel like they don't really relate to anything we're going through now.

[Joel McHale]

Yeah, this is a big comeback. And, you know, since I had hair transplants, I get it that they're. They haven't, you know, had been very relevant, but I'm going to. I think we should make a comeback.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think you're missing that, too, but that's okay. That's not what we're here to talk about. No, we were just talking about how, like, there have been a couple of campaigns I've contributed to it. I just get so many texts that I start hating the person that I've contributed to because they won't stop texting me and emailing me.

[Joel McHale]

And that is one of those things where I think all voters of all parties can agree that. And they. They have the power to stop those texts. Our government. And they're like, yeah, but we don't. And, yes, I always push stop and then delete. And, yeah, I can't. Yes. But then I'm like, well, maybe. Maybe I should send one out and raise some money for something that I want.

[Bobby Bones]

The wig party, which you are now gonna head in a front. Okay. I got so many things to talk to you about. Number one, I was watching some House of Villains as far because. I know. And this is not just.

[Joel McHale]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, hold on. This is not just, like, show promo, which is why you're on. But I've got questions, and I know you'll tell me real answers. Are these people that we have been conditioned to know as kind of either mean or douchebag or out of touch, what's the percentage of them playing a character on television? And they're actually kind of nice.

[Joel McHale]

I would say the majority definitely, like, 99% are nice. Like, they're cool. And we. We only had, like, there's only been a.

[Bobby Bones]

Not really.

[Joel McHale]

There hasn't been, like, any actual fist fights or anything like that. And then I think one time we had a contestant, like, I'm not coming out of my room. And I was like, give me a break. Why are you here? And I was like, you're not. I was like, unless you're being truly. Is this being truly villainous that you're not going to actually participate? But then they came right out. But for the most part, from just interacting, like, they're pretty cool. And, you know, for the villain part, they're. They turn. They Definitely turn. I mean, I was like, this is where, you know, this is a show. Everything's on camera. Turn it on. And here we go. And so it's definitely a heightened version of them and I guess it's a heightened version of me, but I was like, this is your chance to really let it fly and let that stuff go and you could win a bunch of money. So I'm. And as you know, I mean, as you have seen, probably like the show is silly. So that's what we, you know, it's a lot of jokes. So we. That's. Yeah, that's what I enjoy. And we tell them, like, this is all gonna be ridiculous. Still a competition and all that stuff, but it's gonna be wonderfully ridiculous hopefully.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder about people on shows because I've done a couple shows where they can't really edit you to do anything you didn't do, but they can edit things that you've done. And I wonder how many of these villain quote characters. And it could be people that are on the show now, or it could be like a famous one like Omarosa way back on the Apprentice. Like there are famous villains that the producers convinced them to do that. And if there was later a regret or if they're so self aware that they knew what they were doing and they just knew that was probably the way to get famous.

[Joel McHale]

I think it's a combination of all those things. And you know, if it's something like, if it's something like the. I think I'm speaking on behalf of the Bachelor producers. Where there's no prize, right? I mean, the prize. It's a dating game and it's an unhinged dating game, but it's a dating game and there's no actual money, right? So on. But when you're giving away real money, the game show police are not joking around. And because of that whole quiz show scandal way back when where that great Ray finds movie was made about it. But when they're like. So our, like the producers want you to like, we want people to be into the games and participate. Obviously we want them to participate in the competition. But like when it comes to the, when it's real money, we can't, you know, we can't really tell them to do certain things. So because the prize is like 200 grand. So. Which is a lot of money. And so, yeah, in those situations you can't influence. And I'll have, I have an earwig in that. They say you can't lead anybody. You can't tell them what to do and stuff like that. So it's. Yeah. So all the games are pre tested.

[Bobby Bones]

I learned that whenever I did Dancing with the Stars that they really could not help us. Or even when I was. Because I did American Idol for four years. We could give nobody anything. It was like second grade. If you bring candy for one kid, you got to bring it for everybody. Like, we had to make sure because there was money, record deals, or when I was competing, dancing, they could give us nothing that everybody else didn't get. And they were so stringent about it.

[Joel McHale]

They're the game show police, are they? They know all the rules. It's the like, all the rules of life. Like, they, like, they are good at enforcing these crazy rules. I mean, God bless them, because they. I would. I would be like, here, just take. Just everyone. Let's just all share. Let's go. But yeah, they're. They're not. Did you ever see that movie Quiz

[Bobby Bones]

show way back when? I did, yeah. And I got fined a million bucks by the FCC a few years ago. And so I learned, like, I've not only seen the movie and understood it, I have a relationship with the FCC now that I don't love. So I'm very familiar with how that world works.

[Joel McHale]

You were fined a million dollars?

[Bobby Bones]

I was, yes.

[Joel McHale]

What did you do? I'm sorry. That I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's okay. It's not something that I talk about a lot, but I'm happy to share. No, no, I'm not scared of it. I've already been through all the court proceedings and all the money's been paid, so I'm all good. But so one of my jobs, I do a nationally syndicated radio show. And so I was doing some standup in Dallas and I was working from a studio down there. And it was the night of the World Series, and the Nationals were playing in the World Series. I'm a big sports guy. And so there was a home run hit during one of the games. And as the ball was traveling out of the stadium, they tested the EAS alert. They literally tested it as a home run was being hit. So imagine you're watching the World Series and it's like, all right, three, two, going, going. This is a test of the. And I couldn't believe that that's when they tested it. So I'm on the air. It was a really stupid bit. I went over to YouTube and I grabbed a clip that was readily available on YouTube and I just started doing other famous moments interrupted by The EAS practice alert. So I was like, one small step for a minute. One. This is a test of the EAS OR four score and seven. Okay, Dumb bitch. Kind of funny. Move. On with the day. Apparently the sound that I had taken was an active EAS tone that locked up multiple cities. So radio stations all over the country had now fired off the alert. ATTV had locked up. What I didn't know is that I had taken control of all these radio stations, and I didn't know that there was a tone at the end that releases them. So they all stayed locked up for eight hours because I never released the tone. So I got fined a million bucks.

[Joel McHale]

Good Lord.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, tell me about it.

[Joel McHale]

I don't even. I don't even know that that is. I don't even think. Good Lord, that. Were you ever told about that early in broadcasting?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Joel McHale]

By the way, this certain tone is going to unlock the Jason Bourne, deploy the asset into the field. If they just hear a weird noise,

[Bobby Bones]

not only did they not teach me about that, I took it from a public site. Like, hide that thing. Like, I don't know. You don't just walk around with the codes of the football, you know, for the nuclear. Like, hide that stuff. That matters. But, yeah. Yeah. So I was very familiar with how the FCC and how the quiz show finds work.

[Joel McHale]

Wait, if I played that tone on our broadcast right now, then we could be. Not that I'm going, but we could be fined.

[Bobby Bones]

No, because they change them every year or two and then. Two. This was on a broad. I was on like two in 200 cities at the same time. And I fired that thing off through towers. I didn't know. And so, yeah, life sucked for. Life sucked for a little bit there.

[Joel McHale]

I got this friend is the old comedian friend from the night. He used to do radio for years and years and years. Whenever there'd be a home run call and he was running the board, he would always insert other sound effects that people like. He would put in. Cows and machine guns and World War II airplane sounds. They're like, that's Bye bye baseball

[Female Audience Member]

and never. And never address it.

[Bobby Bones]

See, that's the stuff I think's funny right there. Like retro. Shout out to your buddy who used to do that.

[Joel McHale]

Pat Cashman. Pat Cashman, who was the voice of Bill Nye the Science Guy way back when.

[Bobby Bones]

You mean the voice of the television show. Like, talking into that voice.

[Joel McHale]

He'd be like, oh, Bill, Bill, not the Science Guy. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I have a bunch of friends. I live in Nashville and So I have a bunch of friends that are in the country music industry, and they played sports at a high level, and during sports at a high level, which they played, but a lot of them did not start as quarterback or as running back, but they had a position on the team, but they took up music, and they would start to play music while they were doing whatever sport it is. Mostly it was football. Sometimes it was baseball. When did you start doing and being funny to where you thought you could do it? Was it while you were playing sports?

[Joel McHale]

Oh, no, it was. Well, thank you for saying that because there's a lot of people that to this day disagree that I've ever told a funny joke, but that shows my deep insecurity. No, it was. I think, boy, I was such a bad student, and the only thing I was good at was sports. And then I would do a school play and I was like, oh, this is super fun, and this is great. And. And that's kind of how I escaped being. I also got held back, so I was embarrassed about that. So I just overcompensated by telling jokes and throwing and chasing balls everywhere, because that's. Yeah, I'm like a. Basically a large golden retriever. So I think the first. The first time I was ever on stage was when I was a first grader and I did a staged version of It's a Small World, the ride from Disney. This was at a public school, which. There's an actual play out there of that ride, It's a Small World. And I played all the little parts I play. And. And that was. Yeah, that was. That was when I was like, oh, this is. This seems like. This seems like so much fun. And so I was like, I'm gonna. I mean, it wasn't basically until seventh grade that I was like, I'm gonna try and do this until somebody stops me. And I just. Yeah, I just was like, I can't. I don't want a real job.

[Bobby Bones]

What kind of numbers did you put up as a high school ballplayer?

[Joel McHale]

Oh, I'm. I was re. I. I walked on. Well, when I went. When I played. Played college football, I walked onto the team. And I had only played freshman year because I quit to be in plays, so. Walking on. I was recruited to row at the University of Washington. And that didn't go great because the university, at that point, the University of Washington at the rowing team had tons of hazing. I mean, this is a long. I know I'm backing into this a very strange way, but they. I quit the team because the senior rowers surrounded another freshman and I and began to hit us. So it was 11 on 2, really great. And they had all these crazy rituals which they've now gotten rid of thankfully. Like they would shave everybody's hair and eyebrows off and put their hair into a pillow. Yes, I know what I'm saying. All sounds very strange. And then there was a display case of the hair pillows like a freaking serial killer. So then I knew a few guys on the football team. Damon Hewitt, Mark Bruner. And I was like. Or I knew Mark afterwards. But like Damon was. And Ernie Conwell were in my fraternity also a short lived place for me. But I ended up being friends with those guys. And then I was like, I'm gonna come out for football. And they're like, all right. And so I played for two years and didn't really. I did not know what I was doing that first year. And then the second year they red shirted me and then, then I left to go do theater. So it was all very. So I look really good in that photo, the Rose bowl photo. But, but I actually never played in a game. And so that's why I was, I was always, I've always, always referred to myself as the greatest practicer of all time.

[Bobby Bones]

It's wild that you really didn't play in high school. I work for the NFL and I do a show with Matt Castle who played for usc, but he never started in college, not a single game. And he went to the NFL and he had a pretty good career in the NFL. But that your story is crazier of not playing in high school at all. And then you end up walking on because they don't just let you.

[Joel McHale]

Freshman year. Freshman year I played which freshman year.

[Bobby Bones]

That doesn't count. That's ninth grade. That's like three years since you go into college. Like that's, that's wild.

[Joel McHale]

It was not smart. And my, the, the tight end coach was like, like I'm. He was very confused and he was like, I'm not going to put you in because I think you're going to get killed. And so then I began practicing a lot and I knew I was getting better. I wasn't great at all, but. But then he, they began putting me in like spring games and stuff. And that was super fun. And I mean those guys were, you know, they're the best of their entire. Like they're the best in their high school ever. And so I was just trying to avoid getting killed, which was a really good motivator. But I was like, I'm a good athlete. And so like, I was good on the basketball team and stuff like that. But yeah, no, it's not, it's not a recommended journey to, to athletic greatness. But boy, it, it was, it really taught me. I know the sound now, but it taught me. I was like, oh, these guys are working harder than anybody I know middle. I was like, these guys, this is a full time job, what these guys are doing and it is dangerous. And so when, you know, players started getting paid, I was like, great, yeah, these guys are building this school. And so, yeah, that's a long. It's a long. My long, meandering explanations. But yeah, it would have, Yeah, I look back on it now, I'm like, you were insane. And yeah, so it's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Whenever you moved down to Los Angeles, did you finish school and then move and did you do the whole thing? I mean, you find a crappy apartment, start from the ground up.

[Joel McHale]

Well, I was very lucky because I got on to. Well, I married. Well, now it's. Gosh, I married my wife Sarah and she was very. I was before I was ever on TV. And I got onto a TV show in the 90s called Almost Live, which is where Bill Nye started and where it was this. It was syndicated on Comedy Central. John Keister was the host of it. And it was a, it was a odd thing. It was an odd. There was like nothing else in the nation like it. It was a locally produced sketch comedy show on the NBC affiliate. And we would push Saturday night live to 1205 because it was taped for. From the east coast, obviously. So we had these huge numbers. So it was like this big hit in Seattle and nowhere else. And I got on that show and so I was so lucky. And then, so I left that show, went to graduate school for acting at the University of Washington. Go Dogs. And then I had to make a decision in 2000 with. To go to LA or New York. And I decided on LA just because I really knew I wanted to be on TV and be in movies if I could. And my wife supported me and so we got this apartment and I had no job and she worked in graphic design. And you know, it was like 2,000, four years later, the soup. Finally. Well, that finally. But the suit got on. And then about five years a year after that, it started really working. So I got really lucky. I got lucky that I got on tv, but I had, you know, my wife supported me through all of that. So she. I, yeah, I mean, every, she's, she's very patient. And now because I, it was five, we, I said just give me five years in LA to see if I can make it work. And if not, then I'll go back to, we'll go back to Seattle and I'll, you know, I don't know what I'll do, but I'll figure it out. Let's take a quick pause for a

[Bobby Bones]

And we' on the Bobby Cast A lot of artists when they move here to Nashville, they do have those years where they're trying to figure it out and they're meeting their people and kind of understanding they're doing songwriting nights and like what is that for an actor when they move to la like those four years, what are you doing in order to find your place

[Joel McHale]

there? You I mean obviously, you know, like there's no the paths are all crazy easy and I couldn't the path to get to some kind of like, oh, it's working, it's successful and is is all over the map. So I joined a couple of theater groups and was like I just want to work, I just want to perform. So I joined this theater group called Circle X, which is a bunch of actors from Seattle and it was avant garde theater to like they were like we're only doing crazy plays. So I was doing some insane plays down here and I was doing improv at a couple different places including Improv Olympic with a guy named Shane Nickerson and Regan Burns. And then I joined Acme Theater. So I was doing everything I could. And it's that thing where you're like if I can just perform a little and you and get out there. And I couldn't get an agent. So I finally got a commercial agent AKA and they took. They were like, they almost didn't take me. And I'm like. Had all this tape from Seattle and they're like it doesn't matter here. And I couldn't get an agent and. But this commercial agency, God bless them, I began doing commercials and I thought I'm. I'm 33 and I can't get an audition. And I was like. And I'll. And I was like I'll just be the greatest commercial actor of all time. That's so I'm like, I'm gonna do that until somebody stops me. And. And it wasn't until after the Soup really that I got an agent. I was already on TV when I finally signed with an agency. There was an agent that I signed with that they dropped me right after but there. So I got down here to la, we call it down here because. And immediately very luckily got on the show then. This sounds different than what but I got. My friend got me an audition for Will and Grace. But you had to be over 6, 7. And I'm like 6 3, 6, 4 6. Depends on what the humidity. Humidity is. And I wore heels to this audition. I literally went to the like to a motorcycle boot shop and bought huge heeled boots. And I thought, I think I'm gonna be the funniest guy over six, eight here. And I got this little part. It worked and that's when so I signed like I got an agent through that and they immediately dropped me because they said I wasn't working enough. So then finally the Soup started working four years later. And yeah, then I. I'm what was called hip pocketed at an agency where they. This my friend who went to. I went to high school with. He's like. He was an agent there and he's like look, I cannot sign you because no one's going to be excited about you here. So I'm going to send you auditions here and there if I can. And so that work that ultimately worked and I went. So I was paying this agency even though I was not signed with them. And so they took me to lunch to sign me a year after the Soup was already on. And so to make up for the commission I was already paying them, I just started buying things on the menu and I bought an eight pound lobster and I think I bought like two bottles of wine to go. So I was like this, this makes up for what I've been paying you.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Guys.

[Joel McHale]

But anyway, that was. It's hard to. Now when I look back, I'm like, good lord, that was 20 years ago. Like, I didn't have. I have a 21 year old and a 17 year old. And I'm like, where did the time go? What happened?

[Bobby Bones]

How did the suit come together then? How did it come about if you didn't have an agent pointing you in a direction?

[Joel McHale]

Well, I had this commercial agent and they were getting me out to like, I did Burger King ads, I did a McDonald's ad, I did a bunch of. Bunch of spots for a million different things. And that was working. But they. This woman named Annie Roberts who worked at E, she would see actors in commercials and then she would be like. She would contact my, like, my commercial agent and be like, can you bring in these six actors? And we're gonna have them do talking head stuff for like, ease. E's 101 nightclub whoopsies. And they'd be like, here's. I don't know, here. Here's Bono coming out of a club in New York, his shirts untucked. Make a comment. And I started doing stuff like that, that and that. And then, and then there was a. It wasn't called the Soup when it started, but they were like, we want to do a show about. Make fun of reality shows, and we want to do something like that, but not the Soup, because Talk Soup was. Had been canceled by then. And then we, we. So this show was called the what the Awards. Yes. It's the worst title for a show you've ever heard, because it was supposed to be what the hell? Or the what the Awards. And they dropped that word out. But it didn't make. When you would hear the title, you'd be like, what the. Wait, what is it? And so then the new president came in, Ted harbor, and he was like, what. What is the title of this show? And so we had been on the air for a few months and he came in, changed the name. And at that point, you. You young. I know that you're younger than me, much younger. But that's. We were on. They put us on Saturday nights. I mean, excuse me, Friday nights at 10, when nobody was watching TV, no one was watching cable. And we just slowly watered that little piece of the garden we had, and it started working. And I think it was because of. I mean, there's a lot of reasons, but like Julia Roberts, whom I've never met in my life, in an E interview, this reporter came up to me at E. And said, hey, Julia Roberts told me that she watches your show every week. But. But. But don't. She was like. She said it offhandedly, like, after the interview. And she was like, oh, I watched that. I watched that soup show. And I think they heard that. And we're like, julia Roberts, watch it. Great. And then. I've never met her. I don't. So, Julia, if you're out there listening, if you're out there watching, thank you. Thank you so much. And I would love to do a sequel to My Best Friend's Wedding, or whichever one.

[Bobby Bones]

Was there a point where you started to get recognized a little bit to where you started to realize there was some traction happening?

[Joel McHale]

Yeah, yeah. It took a little. There was a couple of TV writers, but I remember I was at a restaurant, Aroma here in Studio City. I was sitting at a table, and I remember hearing a person go, hey, we got a clip on the soup. So it was clearly the producer of some reality show or news or like, whatever we were. And they were like, hey, we got on the soup. And I was like, what? What. What's happening? So that was pretty good. And then I did an event. Like, it was working, but I was at an event that Elvis Costello was at, and I'm gigantic Elvis Costello fan. And he was like, oh, you're the guy that tells the jokes. And I was like, yeah, that's me. Yeah, Yeah, I just got recognized by Elvis Costello. Can't believe it. So that's. Yeah, there was Slowly. Slowly, but sure. Yeah, it was good because it was never a hit out of the. Like, I've never liked, like, Community was not a hit out of the box. Soup was not a hit. I've never been on anything that. Like, that, like a TV show where it was like, oh, you're Glee. Your Modern Family.

[Eddie]

You're.

[Joel McHale]

It is. You are a bonafide hit out of the gate, and this is going forever. So. Yeah, my Catholic guilty upbringing stopped me from being in anything like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Will there ever be a community movie?

[Joel McHale]

Yeah, yeah, at some point. Yeah, I. We have the money. And so it's. I know that now. People don't believe anything when they. When they ask it now, but it. We have all agreed and we all. It is going to happen if all the schedules line up. I swear to you, Community fans and I. Everyone wants to do it, so we're. Yeah. I mean, I might be. I mean, I might be too old to do it, but that's fine. That's fine. I can. I'll find. We'll get somebody to play me.

[Bobby Bones]

The season finale of Animal control is April 23, and it was just announced it's renewed for another season. So that's. Is that your fifth season's coming. That's a long run now.

[Joel McHale]

Yeah. I can't believe it. On a network, I can't, like, you know, the whole model has changed. So thank you, Fox. And, yeah, it was a little show that could. And the first season, I think the numbers were okay. And then. And then they hung in there with it. And it's then it's now it's doing pretty well. And I'm like, thank God. So, yeah, it's same thing with. That's how Community was. Like, the first season was like, okay, it's pretty good. It's doing okay. And we just slowly but surely wore. Wore people down and got them to watch it.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you tell by who's coming up to you what they know you from before they tell you what they know you from?

[Joel McHale]

Yes, you can tell by the age. Give me.

[Bobby Bones]

Give me a few differences.

[Joel McHale]

Women in their 40s and 50s remember me from the soup. And when young kids walk up to me, I was like, oh, this is a Community fan. And then they'll go, no, no, you were Shaggy, right, In Scooby Doo. I was like, that's Matthew Lillard. And ironically, Matthew and I were just in a movie together, so Scream seven. Go see it, guys. But yeah, I used to tell Matthew knew the bit I used to do because when I get on these red carpets, the photographers early on would be like, who are you? And then I'd be like, Matthew Lillard. And then I started populating my pictures, started going on his Getty Images all the time. And we do, like, when we're standing next to each other, we're pretty similar looking from the same height. And yeah, so I still do that bit. And he's like, bro. So, yeah, we just. It's. Yeah. When did you start getting recognized?

[Bobby Bones]

I could always tell if it was family, like a mom and a kid, it was from American Idol because I did four years on American Idol. If it was an older woman, it was from Dancing with the Stars. When I did that show. If it was a female 24 to 40, it would be from radio or podcast, one of the two. And if it was rarely a dude. But I work for the NFL as well. But sometimes I'll get a dude that just knows me as the guy that works with Matt Castle, the quarterback. So they don't even really know. I'm just that guy that works. Hey, you're the guy that works with Matt Castle. And I'm like, that. I am.

[Joel McHale]

If you take off your glasses, like, have you been in a place where like. Like, because your glasses are very, like, distinct to you, Will people not recognize you if you're not wearing the glasses?

[Bobby Bones]

Usually it's. Are you Matthew Lillard? And I say, yes, I am.

[Joel McHale]

And that is. That's, ah. By, you know, Christmas plastic. He played McLovin.

[Bobby Bones]

I do, yeah.

[Joel McHale]

Yeah. He. I did a show with him 10 years ago, and he has become close friends with a writer that I work with, Boyd Vico, every time I can work with him and Brad Stevens's partner. And we're working. They work on animal control and on 1% club and. And House of Villains, but they. Christmas plastic. He's obviously very recognizable. And they were in a casino together. And it was kind of after. It was pretty recently, and Chris was wearing a mask, and Boyd was like, how come are you sit. What's going on? He was like, they're in this casino. He goes, well, you'll see. And he took his mask off in this casino, and he was there was like this radar went up. People, they all had the McLovin license in their wallets. And he was like, see? See? And became a signing.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny. I love 1% club. I love game. Like, I love competition shows, but I love like. Like, logic puzzle shows. Like, that's fun. And that looks like it'd be a fun show to host. Can you knock all those out in a couple weeks?

[Joel McHale]

We did two shows a day, and it's in three shows. I mean, it's not like. Like Wheel of Fortune. They can crank out like five a day because, you know, because it's pretty. Well, it's pretty contained. But 1% club is a hundred contestants each show. So that's. That's where the challenge comes in, is bringing all those people in at once. And. But. But it goes pretty quick once the game gets going. And like, as you. As we've already talked about, the game show police are very strict on, like, the time. You get 30 seconds, that's it.

[Eddie]

Get.

[Joel McHale]

You get to figure out the puzzle. And half the time, I mean, I'm. My wife's really good at puzzles like that, and so is one of my sons, and I am terrible. So you don't get to see. They don't usually include the parts where I'm like, don't listen to me. I'm gonna screw up the words. Just read the puzzle and you'll. You'll. Just do that. Don't listen to me. And so they don't really include that stuff. But. But yeah, those, they're super hard. And yeah, it's a really fun show to do. And those folks, they're so quick. And it like, I was like, oh, you guys have different brains. This, I have a crazy adhd, silly brain. And you guys have, you guys can build a bridge. You guys can actually get.

[Bobby Bones]

Final question for you. As far as other celebrities that are, are really funny when they're not on camera. Like, who's really funny? That's a celebrity that's funny all the time, no matter where you see them.

[Joel McHale]

I think, well, this is, This that. I think this is a good, this is a good one. I'm trying to think of someone who's on a

[Eddie]

boy.

[Joel McHale]

I'm really taking my time. I'm. I mean, I mean, he's already really funny. I'm trying to think of somebody who you would not expect to be. This is a good one. Here's what I'll say. Oh, yeah, well, this is. Everyone knows he's funny, but I don't think the scope. I mean, obviously his talent is world, world class talent, generational talent. But Donald Glover is the funniest guy you like. He, he's childish Gambino man. And so he's got this whole other part of his brain where he is a musical genius and incredible singer. He. But it was like obviously he got his start while he was NYU and he started writing for 30 Rock while he was still like a RA in a dorm. And I. The scope of his ability, like he was always the funniest one on set.

[Bobby Bones]

Who were you, who were you gonna say? But you pulled back because they're already funny.

[Joel McHale]

Oh, I was gonna be like, well, someone like John Oliver or Conan or Seth or Kimmel. They're so funny in person. Like, they're so good and, and they're not, they're not guys that are always on and I mean, obviously they host shows where they are funny and they're them, but it always kind of takes my breath away. I'm like, good lord, how do they do it?

[Bobby Bones]

The Animal control finale is April 23rd. Again, congrats on the new season.

[Joel McHale]

House of Villains club comes out in April.

[Bobby Bones]

[Joel McHale]

It shows my insecurity

[Bobby Bones]

Joe, really appreciate the time. Big fan. I hope you have a great rest of the day. Thank you so much.

[Joel McHale]

Thanks for having me. And what's the best restaurant in Nashville that I should go to?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's tough because people that come to Nashville, they want to do like southern. And when you live in Nashville, like, that's normal food. And if I tell you an Italian place that I really like called Luogo, you'd be like, there's a good Italian in Nashville. But then I would have to admit that I own it. And then I'd have to be like, well, then I lied to you and told you it was good only because I own it. So Luogo, go to Luo.

[Joel McHale]

Okay. That's where I'm gonna go.

[Bobby Bones]

That's it. All right. Hey, Joel. Good to see you, man. Thank you.

[Joel McHale]

Thank you for having me. This has been a Bobby Kast production.
