Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Life Post-"Drake & Josh": Residuals, Reality Checks, and Reinvention

• No Lifetime Money from Nickelodeon (06:14–06:46)

  • Josh confirms that "Drake & Josh" didn't set him up for life: "Oh, no... There wasn't. We didn't really get paid." (06:17)
  • Discusses the misconception that early TV fame means lifelong financial security.
  • Social media is what really changed his financial trajectory in the last decade.

• Typecasting and Acting Opportunities (05:12–06:09)

  • Josh is still acting, with recurring roles (notably on Amazon Prime's "Cross").
  • He’s no longer hustling at pilot season: "When it's cool and exciting, then I love it. But I'm not, like, going to pilot season trying to get anything." (05:31)
  • Podcasting (his own, "Good Guys") allows more selectivity with acting jobs.

2. The Realities of Being a Former Child Actor

• Name Origins and Ownership (09:01–10:09)

  • "Drake & Josh" had their real names, a rare thing, stemming from Nickelodeon’s ‘90s tradition but made ownership complicated for the network.

• Getting Cast as a Kid (10:22–11:30)

  • Josh was a constant auditionee at Nickelodeon, finally getting noticed after "Snow Day" and nine months on "The Amanda Show."
  • Acknowledges his then-chubbier body helped: "It helped. Heavy helps." (11:34)

• Reflecting on the Experience (41:14–42:26)

  • While the show was short (three seasons, ~60 episodes), the pop culture impact gave him enduring recognition. "Most places I go feels like a small town... I get a lot of love. People are nicer to me." (41:47–42:26)

3. Stereotypes, Masculinity, and Parenthood

• Manhood Litmus Tests & Self-Deprecation (13:04–15:07)

  • Playful banter as Bobbi quizzes Josh on “guy skills”—Josh jokes he’s not the kind of man to protect a house from threats:
    • "Call a man, man. I was like, you should find a man because I don't think I qualify." (15:14)

• Parental Vulnerabilities and Sacrifice (16:10–16:41)

  • Aspires to a heroic Hollywood-style dad role: "I gotta stick around for like the next 20 years at least... but like, once they're cool, for me to like die in a blaze of glory... Like save a bunch of kids off a burning school bus..." (16:10–16:41)

• Bobbi on Motherhood vs. Nannying

  • Describes the difference between being a nanny and actual motherhood—the real pressure of decision-making and responsibility. (14:03–14:30)

4. Nepo Babies, Hype, and Talent

• Nepo Baby Debate (21:01–21:44)

  • Both agree nepotism undeniably provides a leg up but doesn’t guarantee talent; they shout out Margaret Qualley and her mother Andie MacDowell.
  • Josh: "That is the highest level of flop when you do have, like, rich, famous parents. Oh, you can't make." (21:28)

• What Makes Great Kids? (22:45–24:32)

  • The two muse on how busy, successful parents may not always raise 'great' children, especially men in Hollywood. Bobbi: "Men in Hollywood do nothing for their kids. Women in Hollywood do do stuff for their kids." (23:52)
  • Ultimately, Josh concedes: "Great parents will always make great kids." (24:32)

• Kids & Acting (24:44–25:20)

  • Josh will not push his kids into acting professionally, preferring they wait until adulthood if they insist.

5. Social Media, Anxiety, and Personal Growth

• On Starting Out and Facing Rejection (29:12–31:16)

  • Bobbi recounts DM-ing Josh and being playfully rebuffed ("can't, scared" instead of "no"), leading to real-life awkwardness and jokes.
  • Bobbi: "I get rejected so often in my life." Josh: "Does that hurt?" (31:03–31:09)
  • Both emphasize the importance of "shooting your shot" and being persistent.

• Anxiety & Fear of Judgment (32:45–36:34)

  • Bobbi and Josh share candidly about their social anxiety—Bobbi describes not being able to shop alone unless on the phone with her dad.
  • Josh: "When your brain's out to get you. Brain Pain. That'll be my next podcast." (33:38–33:43)
  • Discuss the universal self-centered feeling of thinking everyone's watching or judging, and the freeing knowledge that "almost no one's thinking about you." (35:14)

6. The Business of Being a Creator

• Investing in Yourself (or Not) (47:49–48:15)

  • Bobbi laments how much she invested in elaborate podcast locations early on, realizing the best content often comes for less (her own kitchen).
  • Josh confesses he does the opposite—rarely reinvesting, favoring a 'rainy day fund' instead.

• Industry Gatekeeping and Persistence (51:01–54:04)

  • Bobbi retells her now-famous origin story: Her original podcast pilot (with Colleen Ballinger) was panned by executives ("wannabe Zach Galifianakis"), only for her to double-down and prove them wrong.
    • Josh: "So many people will face that. Where all the suits will tell them, 'this sucks'... Tell it. Tell the people." (51:01–51:14)
  • They discuss "Blumhouse" producer Jason Blum’s model of making low-budget risks possible for new creators—applying the same scrappy philosophy to digital content.

• Content Creation: “Just Do It” (54:36–57:29)

  • Bobbi's advice to aspiring content creators: "Just do it, go all out. If all you have to lose is a little bit of shame..." (55:37)
  • Reminisces about posting 10+ TikToks per day, most of which flopped before eventual success.

7. Perks of Micro-Fame & Everyday Life

• Pop-Culture Recognition (41:47–42:26)

  • Josh describes the upside of his approachable, unpretentious fame: "It feels like a small town... people feel comfortable with me."

• Dippin’ Dots & Mundane Joys (43:23–44:15)

  • Delight in nostalgia for now-defunct Dippin’ Dots stores, riffing on high-end versions of Dave & Buster’s.
  • Mini-discussion/debate on the pronunciation of "Wagyu."

8. Bobbi’s Upcoming Reality TV Turn

• Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (60:31–61:38)

  • Bobbi reveals she’s joining a new reality series, "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," causing surprise and amusement.

• Guest Swap — Podcast Crossovers

  • Josh invites Bobbi to appear on his show "Good Guys" (“We’re officially booking you on Good Guys next year.” (61:12)), promising more banter and shameless self-promotion.

[B]

Well, what's the over under that I die in a catastrophe?

[B]

It's not your favorite.

[A]

I know. I swear to you. I swear to you I've seen that movie more times than I. I wonder if I watched it more recently if I would still love it because I find myself rewatching old movies that I used to love and being like. But I think that. No, I love that movie.

[B]

I appreciate it. And you know, the truth is I'm. I've always been publicly hard on myself in that movie. But I can't tell you how many like. So, like. Like really great. Not that you're not really.

[A]

It's a good movie.

[B]

Yeah. I shouldn't lead the Witness. I shouldn't be negative.

[A]

It's a great movie. I. I feel like, when I think of your acting career, I just think of Red Dawn. I feel like some people would give you Drake and Josh, I'm giving you Red Dawn. Like that's it.

[B]

Chris Hemsworth's brother. Wasn't that weird?

[A]

It was Chris. You were his brother? Yeah. I was like. Wait, was Liam in it? No. Okay.

[B]

Right.

[A]

You were his brother in it. Which was just. It's a cute movie. It's not cute. It's. It's just. I love movies like that though, so it's right in my. Are you. Are you done acting? Are you trying to do it still?

[B]

I don't. I guess the world gets to decide that.

[A]

Well, do you like, try to act still?

[B]

I'm gonna show on Amazon prime right now, but that's it called. It's called Cross.

[A]

Yeah. I love that show.

[B]

Same.

[A]

Yeah, it's a great show.

[B]

But I don't. I kind of.

[A]

So you're still auditioning?

[B]

Yeah, but I do like, I. I had a little part in Oppenheimer or the show the Last of Us. Like when it's cool and exciting, then I love it. But I'm not like going to pilot season trying to get anything, you know.

[A]

What does that mean, going to pilot season? I've never.

[B]

I guess like auditioning for everything and just saying, you know, whatever. I'm lucky that with the pod. The Good guys podcast.

[A]

With the amazing podcast. So good. Actually, that's the one thing I probably know about you now that you have a podcast.

[B]

Thanks.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But yeah, because I have that and some other stuff. Like I can kind of pick and choose what I want to do as an actor, which is nice.

[A]

That is nice.

[B]

Yeah, that's.

[A]

That's very cool. Did with just off of Drake and Josh. Did that set you up for your whole life?

[B]

Oh, no.

[A]

Okay. Really?

[B]

There's no residuals.

[A]

Really.

[B]

And there wasn't. We didn't really get paid.

[A]

Cuz you were children. Is that why? Probably really in my head that just set you up for life?

[B]

I think a lot of people have been. That's okay. It was cool. I feel really lucky. I got to do it.

[A]

What set you up for life?

[B]

I'm working on it.

[A]

Oh, okay. You're still not set up for life?

[B]

No, I'm doing all right. I'm really lucky. I. I mostly like when I started doing sor social media in the last like 10 years, it just became really lucrative. Yeah. You know, you're doing just fine.

[A]

You really took off. Can you be a little bit more loud in the background?

[B]

No, No, I think it's good. Kind of. Lexi. Lexi, are you gonna have a matcha, too?

[A]

There's not. Can I tell you something? She's never made me matcha. I don't know what this is gonna taste like. I don't know.

[B]

Do you drink matcha? Do you?

[A]

I love matcha, but not from my own house. But she bought me a bunch of matcha from Japan, and I'm like, surely that has to be the good stuff. It's coming straight from the source.

[B]

I imagine you growing up in the Inland Empire being like, one day, I'm gonna drink matcha.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

I was, like, in the greater Los Angeles.

[A]

I don't think matcha was a thing when I was a child, but it's. It is definitely a thing. You don't. Do you like it?

[B]

Well, it was a thing if you were a Japanese child.

[A]

Was it really? Because to me, it just came out of nowhere 10 years ago.

[B]

Like, it just had a good publicist. Like Brussels sprouts?

[A]

Mm. Exactly. We love a Brussels, actually. I still hate them. This looks lovely.

[B]

Wow. Thank you. Lexi.

[A]

Lexi. This looks professional.

[B]

God. Gorgeous.

[A]

Even did the little. Like she's looking for.

[B]

Really? Lexi, have you ever been a barista? Professionally, no.

[A]

Lexi's never done any job. I'm just kidding. She was in the military, which is crazy.

[B]

Really.

[A]

We're also in the military.

[B]

You're a military family? That's cool. I was in Red dawn, so same. What. What branch?

[A]

The Navy. Navy.

[B]

Were you on, like, a destroyer? On an aircraft carrier? In a submarine. You're on a carrier? The U.S. carl Vinson. USS Carl Vinson.

[A]

George Washington. Why do you know these? I know. Why do you know them?

[B]

I was recently. You know, it's Fleet Week coming up.

[A]

Why do you know this?

[B]

God bless our troops and Memorial Day and two years ago, I was on. I took my son to the USS Carl Vinson. Got to hang out with the troops.

[A]

And who taught you about the Carl Vincent?

[B]

Well, I was there. They kind of gave me.

[A]

Where are you?

[B]

In Long Beach?

[A]

Yeah. Oh, this is so interesting. I've never. You know a lot about the military, and my good.

[B]

My dear friend George was in the Navy on the USS Constitution in Boston and gave tours. Wow. It's my only regret.

[A]

What was that?

[B]

I wasn't in the military anyway.

[A]

What? I was. You know what? I want to know what revelation I just had.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm gonna actually help you because that's a little bit interesting.

[B]

Thanks.

[A]

Why did you keep your real name from Drake and Josh? Like, why did you. Did they name the show after you guys? Because it just occurred to me yesterday that it was Drake and Josh and your real names are Drake and Josh or is your name not Josh?

[B]

Wouldn't that be interesting?

[A]

You're actually not Josh back. You've just adopted it.

[B]

We weren't. We had different last names on the show. But I am forever grateful that we were Drake and Josh because if I had to go through my whole life

[A]

being called what you were.

[B]

Yeah, like. Like Skeeter, I would have been like, oh, boy, that's heavy. You know, it was Kenan and Cal, like, that era of Nickelodeon. It was Keenan Kel. It was the Amanda show.

[A]

Oh, my God, you're making this. Her name is really Amanda and Drake and Josh.

[B]

And we ended that because the rumors we heard was that the power. Like, the suits were like. Well, then it becomes like a weird gray area for us to truly own the property because it's their name and we can't own them. I'm sure they tried to figure out.

[A]

They probably.

[B]

Yeah, but. Yeah, so they. Yeah, so it's our names and it's never happened since. Wow.

[A]

So they casted you guys and then they called the show after you.

[B]

There was some really bad sort of trial names thrown around, I think, like, steps. Was it because her stepbrother's bad?

[A]

Yeah, that's bad.

[B]

Sounds like Alcoholics Anonymous show.

[A]

It does.

[B]

The stat does.

[A]

I like that. We should make that a show. I. How. What. What is the process of. I'm asking you real. I feel like a real interviewer right now. I'm asking you, what was the process of getting hired for Drake and Josh? I actually just am curious, like, what. How do you get. How do you get that job? You were a child.

[B]

I was.

[A]

What were you doing? Like, trying to be an actor as a child?

[B]

I was. I started out auditioning for Nickelodeon all the time because I was like, 12 and.

[A]

Okay, were you from here or. Where was that filmed, actually?

[B]

Well, I was from New York and it's good. It's. Yeah, it's probably for the best. Yeah. And I would audition all the time and I was like, I'm chubby and funny. Like, you guys need me. Trust me. And they were like, no, we don't. And I was like, bet. And then I. I did this movie, Snow Day, and that was like my first big Nickelodeon thing. And the president of Nickelodeon, this guy Alby, was like, you're funny. Like, I'm going to. I'm going to put you on something. And he put Me on the Amanda show with Drake and we did that for like nine months. And then they wanted another like Keenan and Kel type buddy comedy and. And then it was Drake and I.

[A]

That's so cool. Do you think if you were skinny you would have got that?

[B]

It helped. Heavy helps.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Because you know, John Belushi, Chris Farley.

[A]

Do they?

[B]

Granted these guys are not alive anymore.

[A]

Okay. But you know, would they call themselves that? I feel like it's rude of us to call them if they wouldn't. Like I can call you Chubby because you say it, but I couldn't call somebody who doesn't maybe think that.

[B]

I think it's just larger, thicker, gentleman, mini Cs.

[A]

Like I'll snack throughout the day but I'm like, it's not. And I can be unhealthy. Like that's why I try not to buy unhealthy things for my house. But if I get high, I'm going to order 100% of the time. I'm going to order like I'm going to order a whole pack of Oreos and eat it. Oh my God, you have little cute tattoos.

[B]

Thanks. For my kids names. My wife.

[A]

I've never seen a man with dainty tattoo.

[B]

I'm a dainty.

[A]

Wait, this is crazy. Do you see these, Austin? They're so adorable here. I've never wanted to take inspo from a man's tattoos before.

[B]

God bless you.

[A]

Look at the ones on the other arm. Wait, these are.

[B]

It's my middle son, Meyer. Meyer needs. That's my newest son. I got to get it done again. Hand one's rub off this year.

[A]

Girliest tattoos. I love them though. But they are the girliest tattoos I've ever seen on a man.

[B]

I love them.

[A]

It's great.

[B]

Simple.

[A]

You're starting a trend. I think more men are going to see this and be like, I'm going to go get little DMT tattoos too.

[B]

If it wasn't for my love of women, I'd be the. Yeah. The daintiest little, little dude, you know?

[A]

You think so? You're not tough.

[B]

I don't know. What do you think?

[A]

Can you, can you? Okay, I'm going to give you a man quiz of what I think men should be able to do.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Okay. Can you put an anchor into a wall?

[B]

An anchor?

[A]

Yeah, that's the hardest thing.

[B]

Like find the stud.

[A]

Well, the anchor, the little thing that you put the screw into. Can you do that?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Really? Okay. You're. You're a man. You okay, let me see. What else? What else can men do that I can't do? I'm just thinking of the stuff I

[B]

can do a lot high stuff.

[A]

Okay. But that's only a tall men. So Shortman, you. Of course. You're six two, right?

[B]

I'm six. My co host is six two.

[A]

Oh, you're six three.

[B]

I'm sick. No, six feet. I know.

[A]

I made fun of people that were six feet on your podcast. No, I did.

[B]

You did.

[A]

Fairly into the.

[B]

I just re listened.

[A]

Do you go to clubs?

[B]

I'm 39, I have three kids.

[A]

So you probably have. Maybe. Okay.

[B]

Do you go to hearkening back to what we said before about like the child stars who are still trying, like, you seem 39 year old. Josh back the club. What are you thinking right away?

[A]

He's oof. Yeah.

[B]

Oof.

[A]

Yeah. I don't want to see you at a club. I don't go to clubs either. To be fair, what I always knew of motherhood was me being a nanny.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I thought that was the same.

[B]

I thought, like, you get to rent a kid and give them.

[A]

Yes. I was like, this is easy. We use their money. We just like, it's. This is motherhood. It is not motherhood. It is very different. It is very different when you don't return the kid. When somebody's not telling you what to do, what to feed them, like, you have to make these decisions for yourself. That's hard.

[B]

I remember once my. When I was dating my wife, her father was out of town and one night, basically her mom called us and said someone came by the house to fix something and was kind of looking around the house and asked where my husband was and just gave me a bad vibe. And so she said, would you and Josh mind sleeping at the house tonight? Because, you know, my husband Ken's not here and I'm sure he would appreciate if there was like a man in the house. And I literally said, oh, call a man, man. I was like, you should go 25, 20. No, 27. I was like, you should find a man because I don't think I qualify.

[A]

No.

[B]

Yeah. Cause I'm like, I'm scared too. Like, if like the creepy plumber comes

[A]

by, what am I gonna do?

[B]

Yeah. Has like a giant pipe and it's like, has. Has fear in his house.

[A]

No, I'm not bad. Bad. Look, I still call my dad, like, actually though, even when I was married, I would still call my dad, like at the time, he's like, okay, you don't need to Call it. But I'd be like, I. For some reason, there's nothing like the comfort of your own father. Like, it's like, that sounds so weird, but there's just nothing like the, like they. He's an old man, he can't do anything right. Like he realistically, he's getting killed. Like he's getting killed first if somebody comes in. But to this day, if I feel scared, I'm like, dad, please come here, Stay the night. I'm scared. I don't know what I think my like 76 year old father is going to do, but I like think that he's going to somehow like protect me from whatever it is. And it's like I. I think about it, I'm like, he really. He couldn't do, like, he could not do a thing.

[B]

That is sort of my hero fetish. And granted, I gotta stick around. Yeah, I gotta stick around for like the next 20 years at least to raise these kids. But like, once they're cool, for me to like die in a blaze of glory.

[A]

Like that's what you want to do?

[B]

Just like punch my own ticket, but like save a bunch of kids off a burning school bus and you want to do that? We lost like Red Donoview.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's just like, all right, this was, this was worthy.

[A]

Mm.

[B]

You know, I'm gonna have a great obitch. You know what I mean? Like, it's gonna be good. The eulogies are gonna be.

[A]

Who calls it an oh, bitch?

[B]

I think everyone.

[A]

I've never heard that. Yeah, I think you just.

[B]

Wow, that was a beautiful O, bitch.

[B]

No, Lexi's all over it.

[A]

Lexi's never heard you've made that up. Oh, bitch.

[B]

You know, you say a lot of

[A]

things that I question. Like, what is he saying? And then it takes a second to be like, okay, maybe that. No, sir. Yeah.

[B]

What branch of the military you think I would best fit? Coast Guard. Marines.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. You know what? Coast Guard. I knew you're gonna say that because it was like a little bit of a slight. It's actually really hard to get into.

[A]

What, What.

[B]

And their training is.

[A]

I watched a movie that you. For you saying that's a slay, I think being a. Are they not Coast Guards in that movie? Kevin Costner.

[B]

Okay, great movie.

[A]

That was not a slight. I was just thinking of Ashton Kutcher and. And, and yes. I was like, I just see you maybe because you're. Maybe that's really what happened is you're an actor and I can picture you being in that movie. So then I'm like, yeah, Coast Guard.

[B]

God bless.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Is Kevin Costner is kind of the goal, right, for like a 60 something, like handsome dude.

[A]

Oh, he's so Lexi. That's her. That's her male, like, crush, besides Liam Mason. Have you met either of them?

[B]

No, but they seem awesome.

[A]

Yeah, I. You should act with Liam Neeson.

[B]

I would love to. Liam Neeson. You know who he married?

[A]

Oh, she died.

[B]

She passed away sadly. But. Yeah, from the Parent Trap.

[A]

Oh, yeah, I forgot that was her. She's also tragic and she's awesome. Have you acted with Tom Hanks?

[B]

I. So I played Tom Hanks is Tom Hanks's character. I played a low rent TV version of Tom Hanks in a show called Turner and Hooch for Disney. He made this movie where he was a detective with a crime fighting dog in the 80s and you got to be him and I got to play his son in the TV show version. That was a really cute show that no one saw. But yeah, it's the best of the show.

[A]

Most things I. I would hate to be like a filmmaker just on the off chance that I make bad films, you know, like. Or just doesn't like things flopping. You put everything into it and it's just like, oh, that's the fun about this. Like whole industry is like everything is like that. Like music, all of that. It's like any creative thing, you just have to like pour your heart out and hope that it gets accepted. Like, hope people like it. Even my kid's favorite artist and Maybe. I feel like I heard him talk about this on a podcast. But Alex Warren, yeah. She, like, he. His big song what blew him up. He, like, had to push out so many times trying to get, like, he put the same out song, like, clips of out so many times before it ever blew up. So it's really all about, like, if you can get hype around it. It's not about if the thing was good or not.

[B]

You don't think so?

[A]

I think that, like, I think something very. I mean, I think if it's bad. No, Yeah, I think it is.

[B]

I mean, that Alex Horn song is catchy.

[A]

It's so good. But why he put it out. Like, he kept trying to get it, but it's like, you have to build hype. I mean, like, a Stanley cup is great, but nobody cared about it until

[B]

it became highest award in the NHL.

[A]

I don't care about whatever sport that is hockey, the Stanley cup in. But to your point, it's like, it wasn't cool until we made it cool. It's been sold for years, like, 10 years before that, like, decades before. But it's like, it's all about hype. Bad things become popular all the time. And it's like, because there's hype, you just have to have hype around it.

[B]

But they're like, some. And this isn't going after Nepo babies, because I think that's fudgeing corny, too, because what do you expect? I know rich, famous parents. Like, oh, should they not help them?

[A]

Well, don't say that. It doesn't help you, though. That's what I have. My totally true. Are an APO baby. Do not claim that. That somehow did not help in this industry.

[B]

100.

[A]

They're like, I did it. It was not because my mom is like, whoever they are an A list celebrity. And it is because I worked hard for this on my own. I'm like, okay, let's.

[B]

But that is, like. That is the highest level of flop when you do have, like, rich, famous parents. Oh, you can't. You can't make.

[A]

Do you want to know who my favorite Nepo baby is? Is it. It's Margaret Quailey.

[B]

I think she is.

[A]

She's.

[B]

Has.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Who's your parents?

[A]

What do you mean? Who are her parents? Who are both of her parents? Who are they? I saw her mother. You know her mother. She's. She's in so many things. What the hell is her name, though? She was on my plane once, and I looked at her and I was like, oh, my God. I'm not. Yes.

[B]

Andy McDowell is her mom. That makes so much sense, doesn't it? Wow. The hair, the smile.

[A]

Yeah. And wait, who's that?

[B]

Wow. Her mom is awesome.

[A]

Paul J. Quailey. Okay, maybe that's. I don't know who that is.

[B]

A venture capitalist.

[A]

Exactly. Okay.

[B]

She is A. Andie MacDowell has a little touch of terrific.

[A]

She's.

[B]

She's a sparkle.

[A]

Something about her, too. I feel like she's just like. She'll always be up here. And like, I love her daughter as an EPO bb Because I'm just like. She's first of all so talented. And I'm like. That is like a dream mother daughter duo right there.

[B]

She's really good.

[A]

Yeah, she's incredible. But it sucks when you have, like, this incredible person, like, and then they have, like, a kid who's a try to be Nepo baby, and they, like, suck at everything. It's like, okay, well.

[B]

But that makes me glad that I'm pretty mid at most things only because, like, great men rarely make great, great kids.

[A]

Really? Is it the woman that make great kids? I don't like. What's Kate Hudson? Her parents are both like.

[B]

Well, no, I think the father is. It's in the. Her father's not Kurt Russell. It's. It's Hudson. I don't know what's first off, but I think he's a normie.

[A]

Fuck. I just always. You're right.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So normal father plus normal one parent.

[B]

I just think it's hard because great men are busy and great women are not. No, no. Great men, great. That's just the phrase. Great men are great. Women are busy.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And so I think that the kid suffers because they don't get as much time with either parent not gendering.

[A]

It made great. Like, it seems that all these great. Okay, I'm thinking of two examples. It's Andy and Kate Hudson's mom, Goldie Hawn. Yes.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's the great women made.

[B]

There's definitely exceptions.

[A]

So maybe it's just women who make. Maybe only women are capable of making great daughters. Probably Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian.

[B]

They are all pretty great.

[A]

All of them. Yeah, it's. It's. Men in Hollywood do nothing for their kids. Women in Hollywood do do stuff for their kids.

[B]

It might be.

[A]

I think that's what we've discovered you that today.

[B]

Yeah, could be.

[A]

I think. I think so. I can't think of one man who's made a good. Are you thinking of one who's made a good daughter. Who? Lily Rose. Dead. Oh, okay. Well, she's an exception, okay? There's a lot of exceptions.

[B]

Yeah. Miley Cyrus is awesome. So your.

[A]

Your quote sucks because it. It misled me.

[B]

You know what?

[A]

Yours misled me. Who else? You. It's your quote that misled me. It's bad because it's a bad quote.

[B]

Yep, you're right.

[A]

Men, okay, great men are busy. Great women are busy. But great parents will always make great kids. So I think your kids might be. Do they want to act?

[B]

I don't care.

[A]

Do they want to?

[B]

They don't have a choice.

[A]

You're gonna make them.

[B]

No, they're not allowed.

[A]

Oh, really?

[B]

No. I don't know. I. I will. 1. If they love acting, then they should do it for fun, like school.

[A]

Do you?

[B]

Like, they can. They can do it anytime they want.

[A]

Yeah. Your kid says, dad, use your Nepo favors to help me go get a Nepo job.

[B]

Professionally.

[A]

Yes. Nah, really? That's all he wants. He wants to be an actor.

[B]

He's a kid. He doesn't know best.

[A]

He's 10.

[B]

I'm the. I'm the grown up now.

[A]

He's. Now he's 15, and he's like, dad, all I want is.

[B]

I'm like, you're two years away, dog.

[A]

Okay, like, that's not too.

[B]

Why start now? Yeah, no, but, like, 17.

[A]

Okay. I feel like you thought of 18 and you just didn't calculate that right.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You ever go by Robert? This is Bobby.

[A]

Do I ever go by Robert?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Yeah, all the time. I go by Bob.

[B]

Bob.

[A]

Is that weird? No, I never thought that was weird my whole life until I, like, got older and I was like. They're like, do you have any nicknames? And I'm like, bob. That's actually so weird.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. I'm like, I'm Bob at home, but not. Not anywhere. Like, my boyfriend won't call me. He's like, that's weird. I'm not calling you Bob.

[B]

That would be amazing. While you guys are, you know, hanging out, watching that show. Like, love you, Bob.

[A]

I. That's my name. I don't know what those.

[B]

You're my girl, Bob.

[A]

Exactly. Why?

[B]

She's like, but Robert would be fun. Try it.

[A]

I. People call me Robert as, like, a Robbie. I would. I would do. But my name's already Bobby. Like, it's not that, you know?

[B]

Yeah, it's just fun. I've never had. Like, I'm Joshua, but no one's Ever called me.

[A]

I call you that, to be honest to my sister, she said. I said, oh, yeah, can I. This is kind of embarrassing. The other day, we were in the car and I was like, oh, yeah. I was telling her, like, my schedule for the week of who I was interviewing, and I said, joshua Peck. And she's like, who's that? And she was like, joshua Peck. And then I forgot who else in the car, but they're both like. Like, joshua Peck. Who is that? And I'm like, you know him from Drake And Josh. They're like, Josh. And I was like, what the. I was like, I'm sure his name is actually Joshua.

[B]

I love that.

[A]

But I don't know.

[B]

Why be formal?

[A]

I always do that to everybody. I elongate everyone's name. I don't. I don't believe in, like, shortened names, like, any. Like, I have an agent named Oren, but it's not short. I call him Origami.

[B]

Origami.

[A]

Okay. It's just. You have to have an. If you don't have. If your name is, like, three. Like, too short, it's gonna get elongated in my book. Like my boyfriend does. He hates that I call him Tyler.

[B]

He goes by Ty.

[A]

And he's like, why do you call me? I'm like, that is not. But I've also. Do you believe in renaming people? Like, you've had the same girlfriend forever now, so this isn't gonna be. But if you, like. Did you rename her? What's her name?

[B]

Paige.

[A]

Yeah. Did it. Do you call her Paige?

[B]

I call her a million things. PG Boo Boo.

[A]

Oh, God. You're one of those. Not like, you do that.

[B]

No, but I'll be like.

[A]

Like, okay, that's. That's fine, Paige. Boo Boo.

[B]

No, I don't call her P. I'll call her hey, Paige. Or would you just Boo Boo.

[A]

Okay, you just said Paige Boo Boo.

[B]

I think I just said them too close together. But there are several things, Paige.

[A]

Boo Boo. Bub. Yeah, okay. I. Yeah. I'm like. We call names here.

[B]

We do puppies.

[A]

Really?

[B]

You say like, tyler, come here.

[A]

Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, come over

[B]

here and give me a kiss.

[A]

He would. He's never going to be called, like, babe. I don't even call him babe. I said it one time on accident recently, and I was like, that was so weird of me to say babe to him because we're so not that type of couple that says that.

[B]

He's like. Because you say, tyler, come here. And he goes, no problem, Robert.

[A]

Because that's what my name is short for.

[B]

I don't hate that, Robert.

[A]

I'll go. I'll go by it.

[B]

About, like a fun, you know, rediscovering.

[A]

Yeah, I'm going to. I. I do. I know we talked about this on your podcast, but I do want to talk about it here.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

You rejected me.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I would like to talk about it.

[B]

Good.

[A]

Years ago, I DM'd you.

[B]

Not years, like, six months ago.

[A]

It was years. It felt like years ago. We're gonna go with my version. Lexi, can I get a new refill of my macho? It's actually pretty good. And it looks like Joshua would like one, too.

[B]

No, I'm okay. Lexi, you don't have to worry about it.

[A]

She's already making one. What'?

[B]

But he

[A]

had to suffer through.

[B]

But it's delish.

[A]

He's like, I had to. I drink the whole darn thing. Well, I know, but that was like, you. You were trying not.

[B]

I'll take another.

[A]

Now you have no choice.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Let's talk about when you rejected me.

[B]

I thought it was random that you were in my text. Like, I. I couldn't understand why you want me to.

[A]

Come on.

[B]

I'm sorry.

[A]

Somehow got your number and, like, deeply, yes, I did DM you.

[B]

You did.

[A]

So I think that. Well, I've. I've always thought you were, like. I mean, you are. You're cool. You're a cool guy. You're a cool guy.

[B]

That's.

[A]

You're. You're, like. You're Josh. I don't know. Was like, you're from Red Dawn. I've always thought you're cool. So I was like, oh, I'm just going to. I just threw. I shot my shot. And what's funny is, like, instead of not replying, you replied.

[B]

Of course.

[A]

You, like, rejected me.

[B]

Well, what did I say? No scared.

[A]

No scared.

[B]

No scared. It's kind of a good response.

[A]

Yeah, no, it was great. I was like, no, no.

[B]

I didn't say, no scared. I said, can't scared.

[A]

That was what you said, can't. It was like, can't scared.

[B]

Because no is like decisive. Can't is. I'd love to, but I can't because I'm scared.

[A]

Yeah. And then I was like, okay. And then I see you in real life and I'm like, oh, my God.

[B]

Can I tell you what I first thought when I saw you?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Tall.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Taller than I expected.

[A]

When you look at. Why does everybody say that? What is it about me that makes people think I'm short.

[B]

I don't know. Maybe it's just because you are. You are always kind of relaxed in your podcast interviews and not like,

[A]

I. You thought tall. I think I was wearing heels, too,

[B]

so I was like, wow. Tall. Because Bert's tall, and you aren't much shorter than him.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I was like, I love him.

[A]

Did you like that show, boy?

[B]

I love him. Yeah.

[A]

I told him, put me in season two.

[B]

That's great. He's. He's the best.

[A]

He got renewed for a second season.

[B]

Did he?

[A]

Yeah. I was like, please put me in that. We'll see what happens. He said, we'll do well. I don't know. That's not gonna happen.

[B]

Do you? Do you.

[A]

I would love to act.

[B]

I love that you shoot your shot.

[A]

Like, whether I shoot my shot.

[B]

Yeah, that's all the time.

[A]

I get rejected so often in my life.

[B]

Does that hurt?

[A]

No. Because it's like, I reject people, too. Right. Like, if it's not for you, it's not for, like, especially on being my. On my show. Like, I'm going to send my shot out.

[B]

Right.

[A]

But I'm also, like, I have a thing of if I just meet people in real life, it's like, it's going to, like, they. It will be good. It's just hard to shoot your shot to a stranger. But, yeah, like, I'm. Like, it always. I always end up being friends with people I interview and just everything. Like, it always ends up working out. I just have to, like, get you to say yes.

[B]

Yeah. Trust me. You'll love.

[A]

Trust me. I promise. It's not scary. Just. Just come on. Yeah. Like, But Burt was a great guest. I loved him.

[B]

He's the best.

[A]

He's a great comedian, and that show is actually very funny, but more so.

[B]

He's like. He's a good boy.

[A]

Is he a good boy?

[B]

From what I know of him, like, he really does walk the walk. Like, he's got a great relationship with his wife. He's got two great kids. That's huge.

[A]

He is a good. Like, I told him I was afraid of going to the premiere because I don't go to a lot of things because I have a lot of anxiety. I talk to you about this, but I have anxiety about, are we gonna

[B]

get back on the Lex. Not Lexi. Lexa, bro.

[A]

The Loft. Maybe. I think I'm. I'm. Maybe I put it off. I hate being responsible and taking something every single day. Like, that's just not. I. It's really. Oh, really? I can't I'm sorry. I don't even finish an antibiotic. Like, it's hard for me to end up having to retake, like, higher antibiotics and fight. Like, okay, just give me something that's gonna be. I can't take. Like, it's, it's the worst. I'm so bad at it. Like, consistency is not my thing.

[B]

Oh. When I'm on a 10 day course of amoxicillin every morning, I'm like, I'm a good boy.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah, I'm a good boy.

[A]

I'm like, oh, like I'm googling. Is it okay that I missed two days in a row of this?

[B]

No. Never.

[A]

It's not.

[B]

No, no.

[A]

And then I'm like texting a doctor, like, hey, can you please up this dose? Because now I have like a. Like, I built a tolerance to it. Anyway, I was really anxious about going to his premiere because I was like, the, the thoughts that I have going to things like that are like, who's gonna talk to me? Am I gonna be like in a corner alone? Like, will I, like, like, I don't know. I don't. I always say yes to going to things I never actually go. Like. I'm a big believer in saying yes. And then my anxiety talks me right out of it as soon as I'm gonna go. It is so self centered that I think everybody just thinks about me when I go anywhere.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

So I just think about like, oh, so uncomfortable. I can't like, just relax unless I'm like, on Molly.

[B]

But I've heard it. I heard someone say once, if you pass me in the hall and you looked at me, I was worried about what you thought, but if you didn't look at me, I was disappointed. Yeah, it's rough. It's a rough.

[A]

That's exactly.

[B]

I'm like, it's when your brain's out to get you. Brain Pain. That'll be my next podcast.

[A]

Okay. Brain Pain. It's. It's. It's a thing. My brain is always out to get me. It's like I question every single interaction I have in life because I'm like, what's that? Do they hate me?

[B]

Do they, like, do you ever think it through? Like, well, and. And then what? And so what if it did? What if it went as bad as I thought?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And they hate me. And then what? Will I die?

[A]

That's true. No, I don't think about that. But I have been getting a little bit. I've been getting a little bit better at like, muting My brain for things. Like I used to not be able to go into like a store alone. Like if I was by myself and I had to, I would call. And this is way, like this predates me having social media and getting recognized or anything. I'd have to call somebody. Like my dad would have to be on the phone with me. I'd have to be like, I can't just be by myself. Myself.

[B]

And having kids didn't change that.

[A]

No, it helped because then I had a kid to take with me. So then I really had to. I got used to like, I don't have to do anything alone. Cuz I wouldn't go. I would. Thank you so much. Lexus. Would you like water?

[B]

I'm chilling. Okay. Thanks.

[A]

Not anymore. For Nasty Matcha.

[B]

Oh, I'm great.

[A]

No, it didn't. The kids like. It's like a thing even now. Yesterday I wanted to get new frames for this room and I would normally be like, like, I need to have a kid with me or something. But also my daughter was playing and I didn't want to like disturb her and it was gonna be like a 10 minute thing and I was like, I'm gonna go by myself. And I went into the frame store all by myself.

[B]

You're like, I'm in Aaron Brothers.

[A]

I'm. I can do hard things.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I can go into Michael's. I wish I could go to like a music festival and have fun. It's not that I'm. I don't enjoy the music. I just think too much about what other people are thinking about me. Like I feel like I'm doing everything wrong.

[B]

Almost no one's thinking about you.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

And you know that too.

[A]

I do know that with Plan B Emergency contraception, we're in control of our future. It's backup birth control. You take after unprotected sex that helps prevent pregnancy before it starts.

[B]

Yes you can. A five minute quick and easy calorie burning workout. Give it a try. Come join our sweat sesh on TikTok. What a self knowledge avails us. Nothing. Like knowing it doesn't mean I love it. It always is. A hard thing for me would be like, well, I'm aware, like awareness is the first Step. I'm like, not like, no. Being aware you're on fire, you're still about to die. So, like, you better figure out how to put it out.

[A]

That's what I'm not. It's like, knowing that does not do anything for me because I'm like, if I go to. If I go to Coachella, I just have. I don't have to be like, in my head the whole time, but I'm like, I kind of have to be. I don't know how to get out

[B]

of it, but let's talk it through. Right?

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So we remove that. The portion where you're not worried about what people think. And so now it's just Coachella. Pure Coachella. It's a three day festival in a town not far from where you grew up.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Mid April, hot. I don't know what your feeling is with, like, your. Honestly, probably younger contemporaries, right? So it's like super influence, influencer culture. Super.

[A]

Yeah. Scares me.

[B]

So that. Do you. Do you want to. I think it's totally okay to be, like, removing all the insecurity and anxiety piece. I just don't really want to do that well.

[A]

So this is why I kept seeing little clips, clips of Coachella. And I was like, I wish that I was there for that. Like, only certain parts. Like some of the music. Right? I was like, that would have been fun to sit and watch, like, the XX doing their, like, whole whatever. They're like. I was like, this looks like really fun to sit here and be a part of. But then I was like, then I'm gonna have to walk in. Then I'm gonna have to, like, stand there. What if I like. My whole thing is that. What if I, like, don't dance? Are people gonna be mad? What if I do? Are people gonna, like. So I just. Yeah, I can't not think about it. But for the most part, there's parts of Coachella that I'm just like, I don't want any part. Like the influence. I can't. I hate influencer places. I hate all of that. That's not my happy place. Like, I don't. I also really like being home, which is really amazing for my filming. My podcast at home now is like, I love my home. I love being home. I love never leaving my house unless it's for work. Like, yeah. So I don't do fun very well.

[B]

I don't do fun great either.

[A]

It's not. Once you're a parent, I feel like it's hard to do fun because also Then I'm just thinking, like, while this would be fun if my kids were

[B]

here, I also can't help but look around and go, this is fun.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You call this fun?

[A]

Like, yeah.

[B]

Being a jerk, enjoying yourself, like, it's just so nerdy.

[A]

It's not, it's. I like, like my idea of fun is like going to like Underwood Farms and like being with my kids there.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I do have more fun. That's why I'm like, I have more fun with my kids there. Like, they are really fun people. They drive me crazy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like sometimes I'm like, oh my God, you guys, just relax. Just take. Lift, take a deep breath. Like, this is not that serious. But my kids are. It's always that serious. And I know, but it's. It's this morning they woke up in a great mood and I was like, this is a good day. Like they're happy. And it's like, yeah, but. But it's like my version of fun is not what a lot of people's is. Like, I'm not gonna go to a club. It's not gonna be fun at all. There's no part of me that's like, I'm. I'm glad I made this choice place today.

[B]

But the club's also like, you're right on the precipice of it and you probably have a couple more years of a Runway. Club's not made for you.

[A]

It's just. You're right.

[B]

And I think that's what people break the social contract. When you see older people there and they go, this place isn't for you anymore.

[A]

Yeah, it shouldn't be here. I used when I was. But I feel like in Hollywood it's pretty normal. People still do clubs at like 40, 40s. Yeah.

[B]

There's a weird group. There's always that weird.

[A]

I don't know, I feel like it's kind of like a thing. It's men. They'd still go. They still do it. Men. I. Yes. Because they go. And then it's still the younger.

[B]

But is that because they're getting. It's because they're rich dudes. So they're getting like the bottle service and the table.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. But going to a club is like a 40 year old broke person is completely different. Like a 40 year old getting like renting out the club.

[B]

Right, right, right. Yeah. I would be like the 40 year old guy drinking other people's cranberry juice. Be like yelled at me, let me hit that mixer dog.

[A]

Yeah. It's Definitely not for you.

[B]

It's definitely not for me. I mean, there's no shit. I don't. If I wasn't married at this age. Like, I've never been on a dating app or any of that. That really.

[A]

How long ago did you meet your wife?

[B]

When I was 24, so 15 years ago.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Where did you even meet her?

[B]

At a Halloween party. Random, like, very Halloween party. Our friend, actually her best friend, was dating or is married now to this guy who had a famous party in the Valley where I grew up when I moved from New York. And she's like a good, like, beach girl. Like, comes from a nice family. Like, shouldn't have been at this Ratchet Valley, North Hollywood Halloween party, but there she was and there was I. Wow.

[A]

And then you guys just.

[B]

I just went up and talked to her.

[A]

Now you're 15 years later, three kids later.

[B]

15 year, married.

[A]

Eight. Crazy. Married for eight years.

[B]

Yeah, eight years.

[A]

Dated a long time before you had kids.

[B]

Yeah. Cause we were young. I was 24, she was 20. So we got engaged like five years later.

[A]

Okay, that's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. Does she have any regrets about you?

[B]

What do you think?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

What kind of regrets do you think you'd have if you were my partner? I don't know, like, maybe a better career.

[A]

I wish Drake and Josh wasn't the biggest thing he did.

[B]

I know, Me too. Actually. I'm okay with it. I'm proud of it.

[A]

Was it the biggest thing you did?

[B]

Are you, like, you're a better judge than I am? I don't. I don't. I don't look at myself like that.

[A]

It was the least lucrative thing you've done.

[B]

It was. So I feel very lucky. Like, I. I don't. I certainly went through times in my 20s where, like, any 20 year old, like, I kind of rejected my teenage years. Mine were just very specific.

[A]

Yeah, but how many years was Drake and Josh?

[B]

Just like four.

[A]

That's it?

[B]

Yeah. We only did three seasons. Like, like 60 episodes.

[A]

Is that. Is that, like, common for a show that. That was that short to get that big? Like.

[B]

Yeah, I think because they can rerun it forever for free. And also the Internet loves it. Like, meme culture made it huge and. But it's like my life has been made so much better by the fact that, like, most places I go feels like a small town, because I'll walk into a store or a Marriott where I'm saying, and they'll be like, what are you doing here? And I'll be like, it's good old Josh. They'll be like, good old Josh, we love you. Like, yeah, I get a lot of love. And, yeah, just, like, people are nicer to me. And. And I don't. That's not lost on me. Like, that is a point of privilege that I feel like I get to enjoy, that people feel comfortable with me.

[A]

I do. That's my favorite part about this job that I do is. Is like you said, going into places and having people just, like, short, so happy that they feel like they know you. Yeah, sometimes I think they do. Sometimes I'm like, did I forget you as a bird? Like, did I. Were we friends or something? Because the way they say it is such a. Like, oh, they know me. Like, I had a girl roll down the window, she's like, hey, Bobby. And I go, I was like, oh, hi, how are you? And then in my head, I'm like, where did I meet you before? Where did I meet you for? And it didn't. It was like, oh, wait, I have never met you. But, like, it was like, you feel like such a. Their people are so kind to you. And I, like, I love people.

[B]

I do, too.

[A]

Being nice to me, like, it's not. I would never be, like, a person

[B]

who was like, yeah, I'll be at, like, See's Candy. And they'll be like, here, do you want a free sample? And I'm like, I'm Josh from Drake and Josh. Like, no, dummy, we give that to everyone.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, my God. Oh, you just gave me an upgrade.

[B]

California brittle.

[A]

Do you know who went out of California that should come back? And actually, I would love for them to do a rebrand and. And come back.

[B]

Who?

[A]

My favorite. Well, I'm actually lactose intolerant now, so maybe they should.

[B]

Cold stone.

[A]

No, they're still around Dippin Dots. But the actual dippin Dots locations, they had one in the ie and it was like a. You go in to a place and you literally have it. It's like, served like it's cold stone.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

And you get. It was my favorite thing growing up.

[B]

What a time to be.

[A]

I loved it. And it's not a thing anymore. And now they just sell you the little bags of it. At, like, every children's place I go

[B]

to has a little busters.

[A]

We need dipping knots.

[B]

Would you call it David and Busters, considering you, like, full names?

[A]

I would.

[B]

That's cool.

[A]

It's David and Busters.

[B]

That would be their. Their high end, like, version. They should like a five star sit down.

[A]

The five star of Busters.

[B]

Busta.

[A]

No, that's less. We're. I think it's.

[B]

Just leave it. David and Busters.

[A]

David and Bustards.

[B]

Bustards.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

You a bustard. But what would it be? It would be like really high end bar food. Like a Wagyu burger.

[A]

Yeah. Is that how you say that?

[B]

Wagyu?

[A]

Really? Not like Wagyu.

[B]

Oh, now you're quiet. No.

[A]

Okay, now she doesn't know. Lexi, is it Wagyu or is it Wagyu?

[B]

Austin Wagyu. I thought. I thought it was Wagyu. Wagyu.

[A]

I don't. It's Wagyu. I'm going Wagyu. Oh, look at him sipping the rest of.

[B]

It's great. No, the perspiration from the ice is super.

[A]

The.

[B]

The ice sweat is.

[A]

Is it good? Do you like it? I thought she was gonna make you another one, but she said there's no. I didn't want him to, like, feel pressured to have another one.

[B]

No, I did sort of. I started to prepare myself for the next one, but, you know, it's okay.

[A]

I'll tell you, this one was way better than the last two.

[B]

Was it because you got the creamer, you went full French vanilla instead of maple syrup.

[A]

Oh, there's French vanilla in it? Never mind.

[B]

Who's your favorite guest you've ever had on the pot?

[A]

Oh, that's such a great question. You. I'm just kidding.

[B]

No, I know. Yeah, that's okay.

[A]

It's okay. Who's my favorite? I'm gonna give my PR answer to that. Everyone is my favorite because they're all special in their own way.

[B]

That's a real cook.

[A]

No, I think I'm gonna tell you right now that every single time I do an interview with somebody, I'm like, the. I. Austin, do I not leave every interview and say that was my favorite?

[B]

Really?

[A]

I. Every single episode I do, I leave and I'm like, that was my favorite interview I've ever done. And maybe it's cuz it's like fresh on. But like every single time I'm like, oh, it's fun. Like, it's just.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And especially I will say doing them in my kitchen now, I'm like, I should have done this from the start. Why? First of all, I would have saved so much money.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

So much money.

[B]

Yeah. I'm like, you went. You played tennis with Bobby Lee.

[A]

Yeah. And now you're just sitting in my

[B]

kitchen golfing with Santino.

[A]

I'm Like, I get your fucking kitchen.

[B]

I'm like, thanks for the matcha.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. Let's be thankful.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Do you know what? A lot of my episodes, like, I was just thinking about this last night. I don't know if you sit at in bed and just think a lot when you're like, kids go to sleep everywhere, Anywhere. Just. Yeah, we're just. We're just thinkers. I. This morning, my kids were still sleeping when I woke up, though, and I was just thinking. And I was like, that was so stupid that I filmed Wiz Khalifa's or just anyone in a somebody else's house, you know, like, it wasn't even. Like, it was his house. Some of them were, like, activities. But I was like, that would have been way cooler to have him in my house.

[B]

And you rented a house?

[A]

Yeah, like, a lot of them. I rented houses for even Bobby Lee. It was a rented house.

[B]

Like, we needed a tennis court.

[A]

You're right. And I. I don't have one. Thank you for telling everybody. I don't have a tennis court in my house.

[B]

No. They can tell from the edges.

[A]

I painted those myself. Thank you.

[B]

We know. We know.

[A]

Okay. Anyway, I was like, I wish I had started this from the beginning. And it's funny. I. I actually started the podcast in my. Like, it was gonna be in my house, but then when I flew out to do the one with Drake, I was just like, okay. That just became, like, a thing. Then everybody started picking their own location. Like, it was like. I think the very next episode was, like, at a zoo with Tyga. And then, like, I went with, like, Yachty and his. Like, I flew out. So I started just traveling for them, and it was actually. That was very fun, but that is so not sustainable. Like, it adds up. Like, I'm flying places. I'm, like, doing all this. I started to realize, like, I'm making no money off of my podcast. I'm putting all of it back into my podcast because I'm. My cost is so high for each episode. And I was like, why? Imagine if your cost for, like, everything you made is literally, like. Obviously, I profited some, but I think most of my money I was actually making, like, for myself was from brand deals. Because most of my money was going into, like, from what the actual podcast was generating was going right back into filming it.

[B]

But that is. I'm exactly. I'm worse than you in the sense of, like, I put. I put very little money back into things. Like, I'm very much, like, just save it. Keep the money. Save it. Rainy day. Rainy day fun. But then there's people, like. Like a startup mentality, or you see, like, the Mr. Beast of the world that truly put every dime back into it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then knowing that one day he will have grown it so big that he'll get a billion dollar valuation.

[A]

But I was, like, putting every dime, and then, like, I was doing it stupid. However I was doing it was just not good. It was like my most. Like, my best episodes are the ones where I get to sit and spend hours just talking with, like, no time limit on it. Right. Like, Sexy Red was here for four hours, and we sat here. Yeah. And so you have about three more hours.

[B]

I can't. My kids need me. I. I swear, my phone. I.

[A]

Let me turn my phone back on.

[B]

Yeah, absolutely. 100.

[A]

Okay. But it's just being.

[B]

These guys need me.

[A]

No messages.

[B]

Do not disturb. What? When you finish that first Drake interview, did you leave, like, once you were alone and did you go

[A]

like, this is crazy.

[B]

Were you like.

[A]

No. There was moments during it, like, I feel like if you could read my

[B]

thoughts, you could see it. Yeah, yeah, tell us. We want to know.

[A]

I was. I was just sitting there thinking, like,

[B]

wow, it's gonna change my life.

[A]

Mostly just, wow, this is crazy. Like, it's like the whole. And honestly, most interviews I do, it's like I have this moment of, like, during it where I'm like, oh, this is just. This is. I feel like it's. It could get, like, where you keep doing it and you're like, oh, like, this is just life. But I'll always have that, like, pinch me moment in the back of my head of like, oh, this is. This is actually a cool thing. Like, this person is taking. This person who I like very much respect is taking time to sit down with me. Like, it's. It's such a cool feeling of, like, how did I, like, get a career where I get to, like, take somebody's time and, like, they, like. It's like, something they're giving me. Right? Like, I got to, like, flying there. But even just every other guest I've had, it's just like, you're taking. Because everyone I interview, every single person, like, they have busy schedules where they're, like, wanted places. Right? There's a million people with, like, small podcasts that would, like, love to have them on. Like. Like, that. Would that be, like, their dream in life is to have them on or, like, big podcast? Just any. With any podcast, I guess, that would dream of having this person on and they're giving me their time. Yeah, it's like. It's so. It's such a crazy feeling of, like, oh, wow, you're like, you're gonna sit here and let me have your time. And now in my kitchen, it's like, it's really cool. Like, having people like this is, like, my actual. It's not like a prop house. It's like you're sitting at, like, where my kids just sat this morning. Like, it's. It's like, this is my real. And. And why do I have photos of myself on my real house wall? Well, I thought that would be a good background. It feels weird, though.

[B]

Yeah, no, it's. It's a choice.

[A]

It's a choice for sure.

[B]

Have you ever told your listeners what you talked about on the Good Guys podcast? Available everywhere podcasts are available.

[A]

Go listen now.

[B]

About you doing the. This Haunts Me. The story you told you did your first iteration or the first version of your pod, sent it to your team.

[A]

I've never said that on my show.

[B]

Oh, you should really share that. And don't wear it. Share it so you don't wear it.

[A]

Share it till I. It's funny. I've only ever said that one other time than your podcast, which was, like, when I did my. When I made, like, the Forbes 30 under 30 list. I think I told that story during that, which I think I got, like, 10,000 views.

[B]

So it's so meaningful because it's exactly how the business can work in its worst version. I think so many people will face that. Where all the suits will tell them, this sucks. Yeah, tell it. Tell the people.

[A]

My very first episode I ever filmed was with Colleen Ballinger, and it was like, in a full character. It was like. It was just very. It was. It was supposed to be the opposite of a good podcast, which is why it was called and why it has the name it has is like, it was a really shitty podcast. It was one where I didn't. I didn't want to do any research. I didn't want to, like, I wanted to go in and just ask whatever came to my head right then and there. Like, if I didn't know something, I wasn't going to be embarrassed. It was just going to be like, I'm coming in not knowing. And I filmed one hour with her, and I sent it to them thinking, this is great. Like, this is going to do so well. And they. So I sent them that. That thing. They send me back an internal email log that is just shitting on it, like, is like, this sucks. This is so stupid. Wannabe Zach Galifianakis. There's, like, there's already. This already exists. This is like, such a bad idea. And the next person replies, yeah, she really should just try doing a regular one if that's what she wants to do. This isn't gonna work. And I. I replied back, and I think I said, like, thanks. I was like, okay, thank you. And they were, like, obviously sweating. Like, oh, my God, she was not supposed to see that. Then the main person calls me and is like, hey, you weren't supposed to see that. And I was like, okay. Well, I did.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I was like, I'm not posting that. Like, this podcast. I'm not even posting a clip of it. It's not going anywhere. Like. And I cried a lot. I was like, oh, my God, this is, like, the end of what? Like, I really believed in this, and nobody believes in it. And I told Colleen. I was like, they hated this. Like, this. And I sent her the thing, and she was like, frame that. Which I don't even have it anymore, actually. It's probably in my email somewhere. She's like, frame this. And she's like. Because that's what, like, Netflix told me at first. And look, I have my own Netflix show now. And she was like, just do it. Even if you believe in it and nobody else does, just try it. And as I started, I put out a clip, and it got, like, 5 million views. And I was like, okay, maybe I am. So I kept doing it. And do you want to know? When I said I was interviewing Drake, they tried to come back and be like, we want to. Like, this is, like, acting like, this was, like, an idea. And I was like, you guys, I am leveling up. I'm not staying with you guys anymore. Like, how dare you try to.

[B]

Like, that's amazing.

[A]

Take this, like, Drake interview that feels. They wanted to, like, they have ownership. Yeah. They wanted to, like, do. They were like, this podcast, like, we were going to. Like, we'll help you. They were, like, giving out all their ideas of, like, what they would. I was like, go off.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it was great. I was like. And to this day, I, like, I think that is what I hear happens a lot, which does give me hope. A lot of people in Hollywood have similar stories of, like, we tried, and at first we failed, and nobody liked it. Even with Alex Warren, just, like, his song is like, I love stories like that where it's like, if you believe in something you're doing, just keep Trying, because eventually it might work.

[B]

It's why there's so many reboots. Not that I've been in five of them that haven't worked, but. Cause it's like they're taking this calculated risk because what they're really trying to do is they have to be able to. Able to argue it to their boss. This is why I did it. So you know who Jason Blum is? Blumhouse. He makes all the horror movies.

[A]

No, but I don't. I'm not familiar with whoever. What is he. Is he a director?

[B]

He's. He owns this thing called Blumhouse, which is basically a financier.

[A]

Is it. Does it have a little house over it, like the logo? Yeah, I. Then you should have just said the little thing with the house.

[B]

The little house. I should have led with the little house company. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

I do know this now. Go ahead.

[B]

Fair, but. And he's, you know, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, makes some of the biggest movies there are. And he talks about, like, I make movies for a certain price point because I can take a risk. Like, if I can make it for under 5 million bucks, then I can allow that cool new young director who's, like, really promising to do it. He's like, if I make it a 25 million, then I gotta start protecting myself.

[A]

Okay, that's. Yeah.

[B]

And bringing in all these people who are not artists to say, well, if you do this and you remove that. Cause that could turn people off. And you played a little savory. He's like. And that's such a recipe for a bad movie. Yeah, but, you know, play it small. That's the beauty of what Colleen's saying that to you. To go, like, what do you have to lose? It's on the Internet. And so it flops and it's over, and you move on. What was the investment? A podcast studio and your time and a hotel for the night. Yeah, it's a worthwhile. Why not put it out?

[A]

Yeah. I think that is just every. Like, with everything. It's like, if you can't just try. Because also, that's the thing. Even when people tell me they want to start social media, I'm like, just do it. Like, truly, just do it. I tell all of my friends and, like, don't. And when you do it, don't do a little, like, go all out. Like, it doesn't. If all you have to lose is a little bit of, like, shame, then, like, that is it a little bit of your dignity. Who needs. Who needs that anyway, go all out.

[B]

Let mine go longer.

[A]

Mine's. Mine's so gone and I don't need it. And it's, It's. It's so nice once you decide that you don't care about what people think, even though I do care too. But even posting on social media because, like, you got. You didn't have to, like, you were already big before you started social media. So posting on TikTok as, like, someone who. The biggest world, like, ecosystem I had been in is high school. And these people are all gonna. The people who are all popular are gonna, like, see these things. And it was like, it was such a. Like, I was like, oh, my God, like, these people are gonna see me fail. But I was like, but what if I don't? What if I don't fail? And why take that risk of not? And I, I posted when I started my career, and this is why, like, I tell all of my friends, like, post a lot, because I'm like, when I started my Tick Tock career, which has led me to everything I have. And this is. Is such a vast difference from what I was before. I was posting 10 times a day at least. And there were videos I thought out. If I look at my archives, there's at least nine videos I was deleting every single day, if not all 10. And that would be things that I put my heart and soul into thinking, like, this is good. This is a good idea. And then nothing. I'd spend hours editing. Nothing. Spent hours, nothing. And then it was like. But I did that every day for years. Like, for at least one year straight. I was posting ten times a day.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it was like, I was determined. 1. I. I always felt like I missed the wave of blowing up on YouTube, which I did. But I was like, I was determined to not miss the wave of Tick Tock, which that wave is still very much. There's still. People come out of, like, having nothing to, like, blowing up on there.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So it's like, it's still there. And it's. It's such a crazy thing because it can really change your whole life. Like, it can give you a whole career.

[B]

Got the TikTok wave, podcast wave. I want to get the LinkedIn wave.

[A]

Is that a thing?

[B]

I don't know. It should be. It's like, for boomers.

[A]

For boomers.

[B]

Yelp wave.

[A]

Do you do people. I mean, on anything.

[B]

What?

[A]

You're so. You're so old, though, that I wonder.

[B]

I am.

[A]

You are.

[B]

You're like, I didn't Hear the question before you caught me Old.

[A]

No, no, no. I didn't finish the question.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I just was, like, gonna ask you a question. And then I was like, you're kind of old. You're like. You're like an old 40. You're not a young 40, you know?

[B]

You mean in my sensibility because my voice is out of a 12 year old with emphysema.

[A]

It is. But no, I mean, you're an old 40 in the sense of like, you don't look like you're 40, but you're like, carry myself. You carry yourself as like an old 40.

[B]

Thanks.

[A]

So.

[B]

And you always said I was. I'm old at heart.

[A]

You're so old at heart.

[B]

I used to think that when I was at heart too, I was like, I, you kid. Like, out of here with all this Pokemon. Like, let's get some soup. We want to thank you guys for tuning into the Bobby Alto podcast. It's been incredible.

[A]

Okay. You're. You're grown. What I was gonna say is you're. You. You seem so much older because it's like, I was gonna say something like, oh, do you stop. But you have. You've been in a relationship all of your adult life. That just. So you have nothing relatable to me with a lot of things, but with parenthood, you do. But, like, other things. Like, you probably aren't. But also, I guess. Guess the things I was gonna say would be like, you're not a girl. Your wife might do this stuff. But do you, like. Did you Zillow my house before you got here? Tell me the truth.

[B]

My Jewish mother would do that. No, but I. I can ballpark it.

[A]

You know, why don't you Zillow houses before you get to them? Is that. Is that a woman thing or is it. Does your wife do that?

[B]

I. I don't mean to do, like, reverse racism on myself. It feels like too Jewish to do that. Zillowed. Her house mortgage rate is 4.7%.

[A]

That's not what you're trying to find. The information is just like, I just like to know everything about everyone.

[B]

I don't know if that's female, and I think you should maybe. I think that's female to Zillow to want to know everything about the person's house.

[A]

Yeah, like, you're just gonna. Like, if somebody sends you their address, you're not gonna go look it up.

[B]

No.

[A]

Wow, that's very. See, that's very old and wise of you. I'm just young and dumb. I don't know what to tell you. Like, I just. I love to know. I'm. No.

[B]

Okay. Would you Zillow the house if you. If you didn't know the price? Like, they didn't tell you the price, but they told you everything.

[A]

Like, I want to see inside the house.

[B]

Huh? For like escape routes. You're like the Secret Service.

[A]

I'm just curious. Like, I want to see what your house looks like on the end. I want to see your house. Send your address. I'll do a lot.

[B]

I would, but like, for many years, my house, like. Cuz we remodeled it when we moved in, like from like left one wall up and then did it from the. From the bottom. Like. But like, it. It was my old house on there for like two or three years now it's updated.

[A]

Okay. You made sure you were like, I don't want them to make me. Yeah, that's what I had.

[B]

Robert coming over and judging my old.

[A]

Judging your old Zillow? No, no. Well, I just, I look up everything. If I like. I just, like, I'm curious. I'm a. I'm a curious person who likes to know everything.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Well, I'm gonna be on a show now that's very, like, on. And by the time we put this episode out, it'll be announced because I'm going to the thing for Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. You're the Orange County. I'm a Mormon Wife on it. It's a reality TV show. Just.
