Episode Overview

This lively and irreverent episode of Tosh Show welcomes Mike Marino, a top-tier Hollywood special effects makeup artist with credits spanning SNL, The Batman, The Irishman, and Heidi Klum’s iconic Halloween transformations. Daniel Tosh dives into Marino’s origin story, his process for creating jaw-dropping movie magic, the artist’s unexpected detours and influences, and the reality behind life as an FX makeup artist for the stars. Their conversation is filled with playful banter, industry insights, behind-the-scenes tales, and, true to Tosh’s form, plenty of offbeat humor.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Mike Marino's Backstory & Inspiration

• Formative Influence: Marino recalls how seeing The Elephant Man and Michael Jackson’s Thriller (with Rick Baker’s makeup tutorials on MTV) as a child sparked his obsession. (“I was totally obsessed with it. ... I taped it and watched it over and over and over again.” [12:46])
• Self-Taught Path: Before YouTube, Marino essentially taught himself via VHS tapes, library books, and experimenting with friends.
• Mentorship: Wrote to legendary makeup artist Dick Smith (The Exorcist, The Godfather), who responded with a personal postcard and invited review [13:38].
• Early Career: First real industry experience was at SNL, after working at Mehron Makeup (a local clown-makeup factory) [15:02].

2. Breaking Into Hollywood FX

• No Agents—Pure Reputation: “I don't have an agent. I have a PR person... I think people know my work now and they just kind of reach out.” [20:02]
• From SNL to Blockbusters: After SNL, Marino never looked back, piling up credits on high-profile films and shows.
• Craft Over Glam: Marino rejects the beauty industry side: “I never really did any traditional makeup. More of like a sculptor and artist, you know, as opposed to beauty makeup.” [20:19]

3. The Art & Science of Prosthetic Makeup

• Biggest Challenge: Realism trumps fantasy. “A realistic makeup is really hard to do because people know what that looks like... A novice could see that it's fake if it doesn't look good.” [20:41]
• Penguin Transformation: He radically altered Colin Farrell into the Penguin for The Batman and its spinoff (“when he came on set for the first time, no one knew who it was, at all.” [21:39])
• Process & Tests: Test makeups are crucial. Director Matt Reeves was shocked by Marino’s proof-of-concept photos ("Wait a minute, this is Colin… Shit, that's Colin!”) [22:02].
• Time in the Chair: Transformations like Farrell's require about 2.5 hours per day, with subtle differences inevitable. [24:18]

“My initial kind of idea of what he should look like was used in the film... It was like Colin’s voice changed, his personality changed, his walk, everything. It was like, crazy.”
— Mike Marino on transforming Colin Farrell [22:54]

4. Behind-the-Scenes Realities & Hollywood Tales

• Life in the Chair: Marino often becomes a confidant or therapist for actors — “a psychologist in some weird way...” [29:31]
• Actor Relationships: He demurs when Tosh asks if he’s ever dated a client. (“I don't. I don't. I don't know.” [30:02])
• On-set Stress: Not afraid to stand up for himself. Nearly fought Mickey Rourke on-set for The Wrestler (“I will fight you. I don't care." [37:54])
• Halloween with Heidi Klum: Sometimes he pitches, sometimes she does. “Sometimes she has an idea, sometimes I have an idea, and, like, what's the coolest thing you could think?” [27:35]
• Pranks & Early Jackass: He and friends once used FX makeup to prank people in the 90s (“early jackass stuff”) [31:34]
• Fat Suits & Movie Magic: Discussed building fat suits for The Whale, blending practical effects with digital sculpting, editing, and camera trickery [49:23].

5. Industry Trends & Technical Insights

• Materials: Evolution from foam latex to modern, translucent silicone; silicone gives unparalleled realism for closeups, while foam is still used for bodysuits. [47:32]
• Mask-Making: Now does most work with prosthetic pieces, not full masks, and uses 3D scanning over old-school life-casting (with wild stories of life-casting Beetlejuice from Stern’s show). [51:36]
• Saving Their Work: Prosthetics are rarely salvageable; they’re often trash after use (“My dumpsters have been filled with weird shit. You know, just dead bodies aren't body parts and craziness.” [52:26])
• Controlling the Character: Unlike George Lucas or Rob Bottin (who secured toy rights for Robocop), Mike doesn’t own characters he creates and that’s rare today [54:30].

6. Entertainment Preferences & Philosophies

• Favorite Genre: Not wedded to horror, just wants “something good.” [23:29]
• Classic Film Loves: Robocop, The Thing, The Fly, and Amadeus (noting its Oscar-winning old age makeup by Dick Smith). [33:55, 34:07]
• Awards View: “Giving an award to an artist, that’s awesome, but it’s petty and competitive and stupid, and I don’t really care.” [40:45]

7. Personal Habits & Work-Life Balance

• Workaholic: Struggles with downtime after decades of hustle. (“You forget how to live. It's a weird thing... How do you cut it off?” [36:57])
• Sleep: Gets about 5 hours a night — “not enough.” [36:49]
• Fitness: Tries to work out when he can. [39:43]
• Tattoos: Covered in ink from two decades ago, done by famed artist Anil Gupta; hasn't gotten new ones in years. [40:00]

[Daniel Tosh]

Which are you more proud of, winning an Emmy or losing an Oscar. Toss show? Hey, welcome to Tosh Show. I want to thank all the sponsors, the national and the international ones. I want to thank Eddie for being here.

[Eddie]

You're welcome. Thank you.

[Daniel Tosh]

You're welcome.

[Eddie]

Thanks for having me.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yep, my daughter has been sick. She had a fever. So yesterday, instead of her normal routine of going to preschool, I just held her. I just held her for the whole day. And I know it sounds cliche, but it was the greatest day ever. Just held her all day long. She just wanted to be held. She was just so sad. And I'm like, I get Munchausen syndrome now. Yeah, I get why people do. Once they get clingy and needy. There's something adorable about it. She said to me, I don't want to have any food. I said, oh, you don't have to eat if you're not hungry today. And. And she goes, I just want you to hold me. And I don't want any food. And I'm like, done and done.

[Eddie]

Perfect.

[Daniel Tosh]

That was the best day ever. That's all you want from a woman.

[Eddie]

No food and just hold.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay. I didn't need to say that. That was. That was a. That was a joke. And I don't think that the holding party. Your legs go to sleep. Yeah, it's funny. Even a 25 pounder will put your legs to sleep after a while.

[Eddie]

You're like, yeah, wiggle here or something.

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't though. If she's comfortable. I don't move. I'll let. I'll let my body parts just go dead. Well, she actually did, you know, I gave her some medicine and she perked up. For a bit. And I said, well, do you, you want to go with me to the grocery store? Because she really does like to sit in a shopping cart. She said, yeah. So we just, we went to a grocery store and because my wife wasn't with us, we went to the grocery store to get milk. My wife said, hey, pick up milk today. And I said, done. But I just bought everything at a regular grocery store. That would infuriate my wife as a bit like she never lets us have fun cereals or fun chips. You know, the Doritos I bought, Pop tarts, microwave popcorn. You know which kind of popcorn I got, what kind? Which everyone says like triple butter.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Just all just disgusting. I just bought every because I know my wife won't throw it away once it's in her house.

[Mike Marino]

Okay.

[Daniel Tosh]

She'll never buy it. She'll never let me buy it. But if I just buy it and put it in the house, we get to eat it now.

[Eddie]

Not going to waste it.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, we don't waste. I got some cereals. I went with Life Cinnamon, Life, Honey Nut, Cheerios, Apple Jacks, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I don't know what else you're putting together.

[Eddie]

A cafeteria.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah. My way. I sent a photo to my wife. I go, hey, I got milk. And she goes, what the fuck? She goes, this is like a photo from the 90s.

[Eddie]

Like, isn't it great?

[Daniel Tosh]

It looks delicious to me and my son. We'll kill it. People complain about the groceries, but I don't get that because almost everything I got was free. Now we use a self checkout line and I get frustrated because I don't know how to do things. And so I just take it. I'm like, ah, I'll get them next time.

[Eddie]

I'm new.

[Daniel Tosh]

I tell you what's tough that. Would you like to donate to whatever on the key keypad in a self checkout line? Like if you don't have somebody asking me like, hey, would you like to spend an extra dollar to help children with bad cancer? You know, if I don't hear some. If somebody's not putting that pressure on me just to do it on my own, it seems almost unnecessary. There's no reward for saying yes, just the dollar. That's nothing. So I don't do it. Not in self checkout. I actually enjoy the self checkout line though. I take my time. I do it right. And not only do I not steal, I'm honest about how many bags I use. You got to pay for the bags. And if I double bag, I Count it twice. And I have my receipt ready in case somebody wants to check it. No one's ever checked it, and I think that's what white privilege is.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Somebody doesn't take a highlighter and put a big check on our receipts.

[Eddie]

Nobody questions us unless you're leaving Costco.

[Daniel Tosh]

I haven't left Costco in a couple decades.

[Mike Marino]

They still do it?

[Daniel Tosh]

They're still doing it, yeah. Are they really? Are they really reading the whole thing?

[Mike Marino]

Oh, yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

You buying big ticket items at Costco? Still doing diapers or. No, but electronics. You ever pulling off a big old 70 incher? No. You ever carton out a surfboard? Nope. A tent.

[Eddie]

I pulled a big TV from there before.

[Daniel Tosh]

You pulled a tv? Yeah, I. I'm thinking about getting a tent.

[Mike Marino]

Okay. All right.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, I think I'm thinking about getting a nice tent and surprising the family with a backyard. We're gonna sleep outside tonight. Evening.

[Mike Marino]

Okay. Good idea.

[Daniel Tosh]

It'll be scary, that fire going. We can't get a fire going fucking in Southern California. My backyard, you psycho.

[Mike Marino]

Just get a fire pit.

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, I have a fire pit. You just want me to put the tent near it?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, that's not soft ground. Oh, you were saying? Put the fire pit up to scare out the animals. Yeah. I don't think the fire pit scares coyotes. Coyotes are scared of noise. I don't think they're scared of heat.

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Daniel Tosh]

You get that fire crackling, it's not going to crackle. It's a fire pit. Crackling is only fucking when you're actually burning something.

[Eddie]

You play Crackle Sound on the Sonos.

[Daniel Tosh]

You want me. Okay, so now I got to have a sonos. I got to put it on my deck right next to the fire pit.

[Eddie]

You want to make it feel like you're really out there.

[Daniel Tosh]

Now I got to call the deck doctor up. I got to have him clean the deck. You guys are giving me more work. I just want to get a tent and have the family laid next to each other.

[Eddie]

What size tent you going with?

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't know, six person?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

There you go. Plenty of room.

[Mike Marino]

There you go.

[Eddie]

You want a little extra room?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah. I'm excited about this idea. I'll let you know if I do it. I'll take some pics.

[Eddie]

You guys gonna hunt?

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, for if. If we want to eat, yeah. No, I just think it'd be fun. Camp out with the family, you know, tell ghost stories. You ever tell ghost stories with the kids, man?

[Eddie]

Maybe when they were younger, but not.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay. Well, here's the thing. My son always says to me, hey, tell me a scary story. So last night I was like, all right, I just did. I told him a scary story. And the story ends with this kid whose parents I'm not. I was making it up as I went, but it ended up with the kid's parents didn't believe him of what he was feeling under his covers. And then he finally looked under his bed and there was a small dying man that had been reaching up, trying to get help. Anyway, my son, who's young and he talks like a complete adult, but he's still like a child. Like, he jumped into my arms at the end of it. He's like, he's talking to me like my wife. He's going, what is wrong with you? He's like, why would you do that? Why would you tell me that? He goes, I'm so scared right now. He's like, you have to stay in here for five more stories and they all have to be happy. Why in the world would you tell me a story about this dying man underneath this kid's bed? And we were both laughing so hard, but he was still genuinely scared. And then he's like, I have to tell mom you did this. And I go, I know, I know. And I'm gonna get in trouble for doing it.

[Mike Marino]

I know.

[Daniel Tosh]

But you kept telling. You kept bugging me, like, tell you a scary story. So I did. And oh, my goodness, it was so. I was. I had tears in my eyes laughing so hard with him going. He literally said, this is. This is how mature he is. He goes, if you would have told me that story at one o' clock in the afternoon, sure, it was great. He's like, but you're gonna say that right before I go to bed? Yeah. With today's guest, though, I'm gonna have. I'm gonna be able to up my game from a big camp out scare. Maybe I have him do me upright with the makeup. Enjoy paw show. My guest today has transformed some of Hollywood's most recognizable faces. You've seen his work on the Batman, the Penguin, the Irishman, and every article around Halloween time that features Heidi Klum's costume that year. Please welcome award winning special effects makeup artist Mike. Mike Marino. How are you?

[Mike Marino]

Hey, what's up, Dan? How you doing, man?

[Daniel Tosh]

I'm well, thank you. Are you wearing any prosthetics right now?

[Mike Marino]

I am. It's in my pants, though. So you can't really, really tell.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, I tell you what, if you pulled your Face off. I would be like, ah, pretty. Good job. Do you believe in ghosts?

[Mike Marino]

I think so.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, let me know when you're positive you do. You ever had any encounters?

[Mike Marino]

I have, yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Like as a child or as an adult?

[Mike Marino]

No, as an adult, I was sleeping in this bed. I was wearing jeans and no shirt.

[Daniel Tosh]

Do you fall asleep like that or were you just trying to be sexual?

[Mike Marino]

This is like 25 years ago. And I literally felt being slammed into my chest like electricity. And I woke up and I was like, what the fuck is this? And I saw a white blur. And the person I was with, I was like, what the hell? And she says, oh, there's a ghost in this house. It was an old Hollywood Hills house. And she said, oh, no, there's a ghost. And she called a friend and they started speaking this other language and. And I was like, what the fuck are you doing? What? And they're like, oh, no. We had it investigated in this house. And it was, you know, there's a spirit here. I'm like, well, thanks for telling me. It just went into my body.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, had it ever done that to them before?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, they had an encounter. I don't know in which way, but it was this really strange situation.

[Daniel Tosh]

Were they hot?

[Mike Marino]

Pretty hot, Yeah. I mean, 30 years ago, hot went. But, I mean, I don't.

[Daniel Tosh]

I'm just guessing. Hollywood Hills, 30 years ago.

[Mike Marino]

Just sounds.

[Daniel Tosh]

You're sleeping in jeans.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, it was. It was a weird thing. I had this, like, thing for a while. I had to sleep in jeans.

[Daniel Tosh]

You grew up in New York? I did, but New York proper or like, just the state of New York Upstate?

[Mike Marino]

A little bit, like, half hour north.

[Daniel Tosh]

Half hour?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, half hour north. You know, Rockland County, Nyack, you know. You know where Bill Murray lives? I don't know, over there.

[Daniel Tosh]

Are your parents artists?

[Mike Marino]

No, they're not.

[Daniel Tosh]

What inspired you to want to get into this line of work?

[Mike Marino]

When I was a little kid, I was sitting in front of the TV when HBO came out. I think we're the same age. I'm like, almost 50.

[Daniel Tosh]

I am 50. Yeah, well, you are much younger now.

[Mike Marino]

We're the same age, so. Remember when HBO first came out, like cable? They played, like, 10 movies.

[Daniel Tosh]

I just searched for the letters BN. Brief nudity.

[Mike Marino]

So you were. So, you know the Scramble channel where you press the button and, like, you kind of see, like, half the scramble comes.

[Daniel Tosh]

You just get the best. The Scramble Channel.

[Mike Marino]

Scramble channel.

[Daniel Tosh]

That's good.

[Mike Marino]

That was.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, go on.

[Mike Marino]

So I saw the Elephant Man. That was one of the movies I first saw when I was a kid. And it was a black and white movie with Anthony Hopkins and this amazing makeup in it. And it was really like. I didn't know what it was. I was so scared of it. And then at the same time, like MTV first came out, Michael Jackson's Thriller was always on. So they would show Rick Baker doing the makeup on Michael Jackson, and then they would show like, you know, his makeup in the chair. And Rick Baker was explaining, hey, I'm doing this sculpture and doing this makeup and all this stuff. And I was totally obsessed with it. And this is again now where VHS was first around and you were able to tape stuff off tv. So I taped that and I was, you know, maybe five, six or something like that and taped it and watched it over and over and over again. And I was like, this is. I'm obsessed with this.

[Daniel Tosh]

Could you do the dance?

[Mike Marino]

I never attempted the dance. I don't know if I could.

[Daniel Tosh]

You weren't into the music aspect of it as much as you were the makeup of it all.

[Mike Marino]

Well, I love Michael Jackson, dude. Sort of legend, you know, but, you know, I'm into Rick Baker, you know, Rick Baker was my idol. You know, Rick Baker did Thriller, he did Naughty professor, he did Coming to America, you know, he did all those things. And I was just really obsessed with that whole world. And at that time, Ghostbusters was around, RoboCop was around. It was just like, you're being bombarded with American cinema, which was like balls to the wall craziness.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, to have that clear vision at such a young age is kind of exciting.

[Mike Marino]

I think it's like complete isolation, you know. So I was constantly learning on my own, making masks, experimenting, doing makeups with my friends.

[Daniel Tosh]

You never took any classes, though?

[Mike Marino]

No, I never did. I. When I was out of high school, I sent a letter off to Dick Smith, who actually taught. Rick Baker was his mentor. Dick Smith was the guy who did the Godfather, the Exorcist, Taxi Driver, Ghost Story, all his movies, like in the 70s and 80s. I wrote him a letter, I found his address, I wrote him a letter, I sent him my portfolio. And then he sent me a postcard. And then he said, call me. And I said, your postcard?

[Daniel Tosh]

What was on the postcard?

[Mike Marino]

It said, thanks for your extensive portfolio. Please give me a call. Best Dick Smith except for dinner between 6:30 and 7:30.

[Daniel Tosh]

What was the photo of? Yeah, the other side.

[Mike Marino]

It was my portfolio I'd sent. And he wanted to talk on the phone after he saw it to review it.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I meant the postcard itself. What was. There's a photo on the postcard.

[Mike Marino]

It was like a blank thing. It just had an address on it. It wasn't anything fancy, it was no frills.

[Daniel Tosh]

I didn't know if he was like on vacation. It was just like grabbed it from.

[Mike Marino]

It was beach sandals, Atlantic City.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean a pre YouTube era though, to like self teach yourself is pretty impressive.

[Mike Marino]

It was library stuff, it was VHS tape stuff I taped off tv.

[Daniel Tosh]

But like. And you could find, you could figure this stuff out. I just think it's impressive when anybody like has a desire to do something but they don't have. You're not a Nepo baby, so you just like figure it out yourself.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, yeah. It was just kind of like I was into comic books and all that and I just was in that world in this beautiful time period of like, you know, artwork.

[Daniel Tosh]

And your first big, big like TV gig was snl.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, it was snl.

[Daniel Tosh]

And now that's a world where things are like, let's go, let's go, let's go.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, that was serious. That was like my first introduction to like, you know, this is a job. Like I work. I worked in a makeup company in my small town which happened to be in my town called Mehron Makeup. They made like all this clown makeup and all these things like that. And I worked there like after school, like the factory, like putting bottles and machines and shit, you know. And like that was my first introduction to work period outside my bedroom.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

And then it was snl. So it's like I never really did a job other than makeup world, you know, makeup stuff.

[Daniel Tosh]

Did you get paid okay. At snl?

[Mike Marino]

I can't remember.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

You know, there was, there was a period of time where I started doing my own movies and stuff. And I had had a pile of checks on my, on my like nightstand in my parents house. And there was like 300,000 plus dollars I never cashed. I was just like, whatever, I'll do that later. Like, I'm busy over here.

[Daniel Tosh]

This is incredible.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, it was just like totally zoned in.

[Eddie]

You know, mouth is a game. I'm just like, wow.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I've never had checks.

[Mike Marino]

I was hardcore. I'm still hardcore now. I mean, I'm doing a couple movies I haven't even received checks for yet. I've already like completely like gone beyond. Like anyone would ever do.

[Daniel Tosh]

We'll be right back. If your wife is stylish, you're probably already heard Of Revolve. I get a Revolve package once a week at my house. That's. I'm not kidding you. But now it's our turn, fellas.

[Daniel Tosh]

On your side of it, do you audition? How do you get the gigs? Or is it all just word of mouth or your reputation at this point?

[Mike Marino]

I don't know. I mean, I think people know my work now and they just kind of reach out. I don't have an agent. I have a PR person, anybody. I mean, how did you guys find me, you know, like, I don't even know.

[Daniel Tosh]

That's. That's also a fair question, you know, did you always want to do special effects makeup versus just traditional makeup?

[Mike Marino]

I never really did any traditional makeup.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

More of like a sculptor and, you know, artist, you know, as opposed to beauty makeup. Even though I could appreciate what goes into that. But it's not something that I do.

[Daniel Tosh]

Do you focus mainly on the face or do you say, I can do anything?

[Mike Marino]

Whatever. Whatever is like, you know, special effect. Yeah. Body or whatever.

[Daniel Tosh]

What's the hardest effect to do?

[Mike Marino]

I think a realistic makeup is really hard to do because people know what that looks like. You know, like you can do an alien or whatever, and that's hard in itself. But like, if, you know, you do a makeup that looks like, supposed to be totally real, you know, a novice could see that it's fake if it doesn't look good. Even something like the penguin, even, for instance, like, you're borderline on, like fantasy a little bit.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, it's just incredible what you did there.

[Mike Marino]

Thanks, man.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, I feel like I talk so many people into watching that show that would never have wanted to watch that show. And then you're like, oh, this show is so fudgeing good, and it's so demented.

[Mike Marino]

It was a great show. And I think Colin is such an amazing actor, and I think he was able to explore beyond what he normally would, being himself, you know? So it was like he wore the makeup and was like, shit, I'm this, like, weird gangster guy. I could do anything.

[Daniel Tosh]

He credits you for kind of making him find that character.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, I mean, it's like a band, you know? It's like he. He can't be Colin Farrell and be the Penguin without, you know, looking a certain way.

[Daniel Tosh]

Did you have a direction going into it, or did you just make it up yourself?

[Mike Marino]

Well, Matt Reeves was Batman, known to be working with digital stuff, but I think I opened his eyes to makeup in a way, because you take someone so recognizable, like Colin, who's very recognizable, you could see him a mile away, you know, like, you know who it is, and then you change his identity so much to be embodying a character that when he came on set for the first time, no one knew who it was, like, at all. Everyone's like, this is weird grip, like, saying hi to me. I don't know who this dude is. He's weird and intimidating. And they were like, that's Colifarrell, you know? But I think the direction really, for Matt Reeves was he's a great director because he's not like, this is what I want, you know, it's like, hey, here's some ideas. Play around, you know? And it was like, okay, well, I'm going to try something what I think would be cool, and if you like it, we'll do it, you know? So my initial kind of idea of what he should look like was used in the film. And Matt was like, wait a minute, this is Colin. You're showing pictures of Colin. I was showing him, like, pictures of sculptures that I had done of the penguin on Colin's head. And I was like, I think this is what it should be. And he's like, so who is this person? And I was like, that's Colin. He's like, shit, that's Colin. Wait a minute. He's, like, processing, looking at the pictures. He's like, you could pull us off and it'll look real. I'm like, yep, it'll look totally real. Let's test it, and if it doesn't look real, we'll change it, you know? So we did a test, and it was like Colin's voice changed his personality, changed his walk, everything. It Was like, crazy.

[Daniel Tosh]

So good.

[Mike Marino]

It was crazy.

[Daniel Tosh]

It's so good. But also it's confusing to me as a person just from the outside where I'm like, well, why not just hire somebody hideous? Yeah. Instead of this good looking movie star. Yeah.

[Mike Marino]

But he is an amazing actor. And it's like. And it's sort of like a thing where. Why don't you just hire a murderer to be in a, you know, Jeffrey Dahmer movie?

[Daniel Tosh]

I like that idea. Is your favorite genre horror movies or.

[Mike Marino]

No, not really.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

I mean, I think.

[Daniel Tosh]

What's your favorite genre movie to watch?

[Mike Marino]

I don't know. I just want to watch something good.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

I don't know what it will be.

[Daniel Tosh]

Do you like stupid comedies?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, I do.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

I do.

[Daniel Tosh]

But. But can you watch a movie without being like, oh, that they did a shitty job there?

[Mike Marino]

It's hard to go outside of, you know, actually be a viewer of the movie, you know, because, you know, everything that's going on behind the scenes. So it's a little bit difficult to decipher. But when it's. When I am immersed, I know the movie's really good. Like if I watch like Terminator 2 or something, I'm like, I know it's all fake robots and all this stuff like that, but, like, this shit's real. It's done well. So you're. You're buying it. Same thing. I think what happened with Penguin is after the effect of like, oh, my God, let's see this freak show. That's Colin Farrell's face and he looks like the Penguin. After a while, you're like, I buy this character. It's. It's real. It's a believable person, you know.

[Daniel Tosh]

How long did he have to sit in the chair?

[Mike Marino]

It was like two and a half hours. All in.

[Daniel Tosh]

Every day he worked, he'd have to do two and a half everything. Is it hard to recreate your work every single day or does it get easier?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, it's like.

[Daniel Tosh]

Or is it like, hey, today I didn't make him look exactly the same.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah. So it's hard, you know, it's human hands, so it's like, you know, the wig may be like slightly to the left or like, you know, a little freckle is shifted or something, you know.

[Daniel Tosh]

Can you tell that, like.

[Mike Marino]

Oh, I do not really sometimes. Unless, you know, there's also stuff that happens to, you know, an actor's face. You know, they might have had a bad night or something, and they're a puffy or something. You know, and it's like they look slightly different or, you know, they scratch their face at night or whatever, you know, and it's like there's stuff you have to adapt to, you know, Two

[Daniel Tosh]

and a half hours, though.

[Mike Marino]

I'm like any. Any girl every day, maybe.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, not the girls. I'm not the ones that I wanted to hang out with, but two. And I'm just. I'm going to say this honestly. Like, you could offer me all the money in the world to do a job like that and say, oh, but every day you have to sit for two and a half hours. No, no, I can't do that.

[Mike Marino]

Like, it depends on the context. If you were hired on, like, Batman or something. And it's like, we need you to be the Penguin. Daniel Tosh can't roll in and be like, hey, I'm the Penguin. It would be goofy.

[Daniel Tosh]

I know. You know, but I'm saying I can't. I couldn't do. I know that. I can't do that. I can't let you do work on my face for hours.

[Mike Marino]

Well, you should try.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I. I can't. When anybody does make. It's my least start touching around my eyes. I just am like, I don't like this. I don't like this moment. It's not my thing. I appre that. But see, that's why I get to still watch movies and enjoy them, because I don't. I'm really not an actor in any way.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, but people can't do what you do, you know, or they don't want to do any. You know, there's a certain.

[Daniel Tosh]

They want to, don't they, Ed?

[Mike Marino]

And I have to say about Colin Farrell in particular, like, that man is a patient person. I mean, to tolerate putting glue all over your face and then acting all day in serious scenes.

[Daniel Tosh]

I agree with you.

[Mike Marino]

It's a lot. I mean, I know it's a lot. It's like a Zen moment where you have to get to in your own self because you're sitting there, people are touching your face, and you're. You're encased in this stuff. It does move and it feels real after a while, but you know it's not real.

[Daniel Tosh]

You ever watch that scene on I Think youk Should Leave Now.

[Mike Marino]

What is it?

[Daniel Tosh]

Carl Havoc, he's got all this, like, makeup on and he's just like. He loses it. He's like, why the fuck's all this. Too much shit on me too. He just has a panic attack.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, I never saw it. That's you know, that happened to Jim Carrey on the Grinch, and Rick Baker had done, like, the Grinch. He was in that makeup, like, 100 days or something. Like, there was one day where he just couldn't take it anymore, and he just, like, ripped it off and, like, ripped the wig and, like, then they had to send in, like, a Navy SEAL and, like, to be like, this is how you have to, you know, change your mindset, you know, and all this stuff. And then Ron Howard did the makeup himself and said, look, I'm in the makeup too. You know, so, yeah, it was like, after a while, I think, you know, I mean, you're, like, mummifying yourself, you know? But something psychologically happens where you have to accept that this is the process.

[Daniel Tosh]

Not me.

[Mike Marino]

Not yet.

[Daniel Tosh]

I choose not to.

[Mike Marino]

Well, you could be the Riddler or something.

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't act. I'm not acting.

[Eddie]

Question mark on your chest. Run around.

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't want to do riddles. How bonkers do you go around Halloween?

[Mike Marino]

I'm usually working with somebody at that point, mostly Heidi Klum, you know?

[Daniel Tosh]

Do you pitch ideas?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, it depends. I mean, it depends. Sometimes she has an idea, sometimes I have an idea, and, like, what's the coolest thing you could think?

[Daniel Tosh]

Sexy Jeffrey Epstein.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, that would be a good one. You know, but you have to peel his lizard head off. You know,

[Daniel Tosh]

when you're testing these things, do you come in out of pocket, you paying for all these things ahead

[Mike Marino]

of time, you know?

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

I mean, like something like Batman. There's so much work to be done that I don't want to wait for checks, so I'll just start doing stuff.

[Daniel Tosh]

Are your parents still letting those checks pile up at your house?

[Mike Marino]

They are, yeah. My dad just bought a Porsche. I was wondering, how

[Daniel Tosh]

is there a Holy Grail prosthetic application you're itching to try?

[Mike Marino]

I really want to put you in a makeup.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I don't want any. That's. That does not happen. People, they even pitched it, like, oh, for this interview, I go, no, guys, I'm not doing it. I get so frustrated. Who's on your Mount Rushmore of Best Movie Makeup?

[Mike Marino]

Rick Baker, Rob Botin, Kevin Yeager, Stan Winston. Kevin Yeager. Built like the Crypt Keeper, you know? Like, I love that thing. Rob Botin did all the stuff for the thing. I used to work for him. Rick Baker, like I said. I mean, he did Harry and the Henderson's Nutty Professor Coming to America. Men in Black. Like, dude's the king, you know, I Had like, I was obsessed with him as a kid.

[Daniel Tosh]

You did coming to America 2?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

The sequel?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Did you have to do just as many. Did they have as many characters in the second one?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Was Arsenio in it too?

[Mike Marino]

Arsenio was in it, yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

How many characters did he do?

[Mike Marino]

I think he did three.

[Daniel Tosh]

I bet you he was clamoring to do more.

[Mike Marino]

He's great. Arsenio is awesome. I wish we could film the makeup trailer, you know, in the makeup trailer, because it's like a comedy act all day. You do this, start doing makeup on him, and he's telling jokes and all this stuff, and it's just so funny.

[Daniel Tosh]

People feel the need a lot of times to. To talk to the artist like that. Do you get gossip and stuff like that?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, I do.

[Daniel Tosh]

Pretend to be a therapist or. Do you pretend to give a shit?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah. It's an interesting thing because I'm kind of like a psychologist in some weird way, because I'm with that actor more than anyone on the movie. I'm more. I'm with them more than a director. I'm with them more than producers, unless they go out outside of, you know, the. The movie. So I'm with them, like, for hours. And a lot of the time, you know, we talk about personal things and issues come up and stuff in this. Friendships after that form. And you have to have a good relationship with that person because they have to trust you. You know, you're putting, you know, glue in their eyeball.

[Daniel Tosh]

You ever dated anybody that's been in your chair?

[Mike Marino]

I don't know.

[Daniel Tosh]

What do you know?

[Mike Marino]

I don't. I don't. I don't know.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, maybe you're not supposed to. Right? Or are you? Are you. Is there a line that you're not supposed to date?

[Mike Marino]

Like, I try to, you know, I'm professional as I could be that it's professional.

[Daniel Tosh]

But it's like all of a sudden, like you said, you know, you're spending so much time with them, all of a sudden you develop a real relationship. You've become friends later.

[Mike Marino]

You know, Actors have dated makeup people.

[Daniel Tosh]

I know for sure. I've tried to take a swing a few times.

[Mike Marino]

I mean, but, you know, work is first. I don't want to that up, you know, so if it's something that happens later, I mean, I'm with someone now, so it doesn't matter.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, I'm speaking hypothetical.

[Mike Marino]

Come on, Daniel, you're fucking around.

[Daniel Tosh]

Geez. I just want to know that you guys have something going on Eddie and I, for sure.

[Mike Marino]

Eddie, tell us a story.

[Daniel Tosh]

When you're putting makeup on Heidi's boobs, I just want to know if you're enjoying it.

[Mike Marino]

Well, it's great. I mean, and it's a weird thing, you know, when you're an artist. You know, I sound like an asshole, but, like, you're. You have to study the human body, you know, you're looking at models and you're drawing stuff and you're seeing shapes and you're seeing things and it's not exactly like, oh, my God, I'm so turned on, you know, I don't really go there.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, that's great that you don't. But here's. Here's what I call bullshit. Every photographer in the world ends up

[Mike Marino]

dating the creepy losers that never got laid ever. Anyway.

[Daniel Tosh]

That's fair.

[Mike Marino]

So it's kind of like very good

[Daniel Tosh]

looking now, is that. Has that been a hindrance to you in your career? Do you think, do you think it's like people like, oh, look at this guy, he's the out of here. He's like a hot guy. Whatever, man. How dare you?

[Mike Marino]

All right, well, has it been a hindrance for you?

[Daniel Tosh]

Oh, for sure. You ever use your skills to pull pranks on friends?

[Mike Marino]

Always.

[Eddie]

Oh, I love it.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, Constantly.

[Daniel Tosh]

That would be fun.

[Mike Marino]

I mean, less now because I'm busy with, like, movie stuff or whatever, but, like, back in the day, man, we did everything. Possible wounds make my friend up to be an old dude knocking on people's doors, like falling down the mall. Like, it was early jackass stuff. It was like 90s jackass stuff. Like, I did it first, you know, like, huh, Is.

[Daniel Tosh]

Is making people look old? Is that, is that hard?

[Mike Marino]

It's the hardest thing to do. It's not exactly my favorite thing to do because I've done it a lot, but it's always a challenge. I mean, you're replicating something that has to be completely believable.

[Daniel Tosh]

What about young? I'm making them look younger. Is that now, AI.

[Mike Marino]

Or hard to do?

[Daniel Tosh]

You know, you can't do it with makeup, can you?

[Mike Marino]

You can in a certain aspect of it, like, you know, heavier or something. But if someone's like 80 years old, you can't make them look young. It's just not possible.

[Daniel Tosh]

I. Well, see, I hope so because then we can use some of these old actors and have them start playing some, some, some young roles. That'd be fun.

[Mike Marino]

No, I would say, like, you know, digital stuff is probably the best bet. You know, even AI or whatever.

[Daniel Tosh]

Is blackface technically special effects makeup?

[Mike Marino]

I don't know. I don't know. I never did it. So that's good.

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, you. You got through the 80s and 90s without that blemish. Did you do Jiminy Glick?

[Mike Marino]

No, I didn't, but I love that. I love that thing. I think Kevin Haney, who is an old Dick Smith protege, did that makeup on Martin. Martin Short. But that makeup is fucking hilarious. That character's great.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, it's good. See?

[Mike Marino]

You should do the next version. Oh, he can make you like the melting RoboCop guy. I'm not doing interviews.

[Daniel Tosh]

Stop making me sit in a chair for so long.

[Mike Marino]

He did a movie called Inner Space back in the day. Remember that?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike Marino]

Where his head's all shaking and going insane and all that. Like, that was my old boss, Rob Botin, who built those heads. He basically built this thing on a paint shaker that, like, that, like, fucking made this fake head do all this stuff. It's an amazing effect. Like, I can't even figure out how it was really done, to be honest. It's so amazing. His face splits and shit and does all this cool stuff.

[Daniel Tosh]

What film special effects is so bad that it's good?

[Mike Marino]

Like Ghoulies?

[Daniel Tosh]

Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Ghoulies. Was Planet of the Apes amazing at first time or.

[Mike Marino]

No, I think the movie is so good. Rod Serling wrote it, you know, did the.

[Daniel Tosh]

But the Twilight Zone, but just the makeup.

[Mike Marino]

It was innovative for its time. In 68. I wouldn't say it could hold up now. No, but it's iconic looking. You know what it is, and you recog, you know, recognizable.

[Daniel Tosh]

What's your favorite film?

[Mike Marino]

Favorite film? I could give you, like, five. I don't know. The fly. RoboCop, you know, and then you want to get all artsy or whatever.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, no, I don't want to get artsy. I like, I like Robot Fly.

[Mike Marino]

The thing. I think of it like this, like, in an artistic sense. Some, some of the most, like, beautiful performances and artistic whatever. It's like, you could just watch it once or twice maybe. But like, RoboCop, I could watch every day, all day long, you know, that scares me. What's the watching of Bill? You know, like, how many times do I want to watch something? That's how I have to judge. Like, is it a good movie? But Amadeus is a great film. I don't know if you remember.

[Daniel Tosh]

I, I, I just recently watched it. Let me tell you something about Amadeus. That made me laugh. It's like, my father's favorite film. And then, you know, he doesn't. My dad doesn't ask for much in life. He knew that my new home had a theater room, and he was like, I just want to come to your house and watch Amadeus. Cool. And I said, great, dad. We'll do this. But I couldn't get the regular Amadeus. It was the director's cut.

[Mike Marino]

Oh, that's great.

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, here's where the problem is. The director's cut is, like, rated, like, a hard R. Now, my father was a Presbyterian pastor, and so now there's just tons of, like, sex scenes that weren't in the original movie.

[Mike Marino]

I don't know. Is it?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yes.

[Mike Marino]

What?

[Daniel Tosh]

In the director's cut, there was. There was, like, nudity all over, but

[Mike Marino]

there was nudity in. When Salieri, like, says, you know, take your clothes off, and then he kicks her out. That was always.

[Daniel Tosh]

I'm just letting you know. The director's cut was way more comfortable for my father. And I was just like, dad, thank you for letting me watch this soft porn with you. This is great.

[Mike Marino]

But that movie is amazing because Mar Abraham in it is in a Dick Smith makeup. That's the award Dick Smith won. His only Oscar, you know, turned F. Murray Abraham into the old Salieri, where he's, like, all hunched over and telling the story, playing the piano, how he hates Mozart. Like, that's a whole makeup, and it's, like, one of Dick Smith's best, best makeups ever done.

[Daniel Tosh]

Have you seen Chad Powers?

[Mike Marino]

I have, yeah. That's good. Yeah, it's cool.

[Daniel Tosh]

Did you like the bug scene? I don't remember the bug scene where he's like, are you a bug man? You and you a bug man? He's, like, digging through the prosthetics, and he's just like. His face is all. That's a good scene. Anyway, talk about working with the Weeknd. Was he as boring in person as he comes across in every interview, music video, commercial, or super bowl halftime performance?

[Mike Marino]

You're fucked. He's cool, man. Abel is awesome. He's like, you know, he's a movie geek, to be honest. I mean, and he, you know, he's an artist.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah.

[Mike Marino]

Whether you like it or not, I mean, he's an artist. He loves mean streets and films and all this awesome movies. He's got all this cool shit in his house.

[Daniel Tosh]

Just a ballpark. How many hours do you think you've spent applying makeup on people in chairs in your life?

[Mike Marino]

Thousands of hours. I don't know. I mean, just for the penguin percentage of your life, I bet it's so calculated. I don't know, Eddie. Two and a half. Two and a half hours times 80 for just Colin Farrell. Wow.

[Daniel Tosh]

How many hours of sleep do you get a night?

[Mike Marino]

Not enough. Five, maybe?

[Daniel Tosh]

That's not enough at all.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, it's really like a real. It's a hard thing for me, actually.

[Daniel Tosh]

Do you ever enjoy not working or. No.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, I try. I. It's hard, you know, you've spent so many years trying to do this and you forget how to live. You know, It's a weird thing, you know, like, how do you. How do you cut it off? You know, I'm always thinking of, like, what I'm going to do the next day and make sure I'm not, like, forgetting something, you know, it's like, how do you turn that off? I mean, even for you, how do you turn it off? It's been hard to, like, go walk in the park, you know? Like, it's a hard thing, to be honest.

[Daniel Tosh]

How about the stress of. Of your particular job in the scope of. Of moviemaking or television, where you're kind of the one that's always being screamed at to hurry the up.

[Mike Marino]

Now, if somebody screams me, I'll knock them the out, okay? Like, I don't really put up with, you know, like, really.

[Daniel Tosh]

Right. But you did it snl. You did back then when you were.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, but I wasn't in charge and I was helping and, you know, I was learning and all that.

[Daniel Tosh]

And, I mean, did that stress ever get to you? But about just like, they're always like, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. And it's like, okay, well, for what?

[Mike Marino]

Well, I mean, if you just tell them ahead of time, this is going to take a certain time. I mean, it's rare that you're really going over the time period you estimated these days. And if you. And if you do, if someone wants to yell, I accept it, you know, but if you yell at me and, you know, treat me like an asshole, then I'll. I will fight you. You know, I don't care. You know, like, really, like, what is it worth, man? We're trying to make art. We're not trying to be, you know, right military, you know, exciting that you're

[Daniel Tosh]

gonna fight at some point.

[Mike Marino]

But I will. And I've almost fought just over their attitudes. No, I could tell you, like, I almost fought Mickey Rourke, okay? Swear to God. True story on the wrestler with Darren Aronofsky. Aronofsky film. He was being a dick, and he, like, blamed me for something he did. And then I was like, vicky, you, man. When he came at me. And, like, I had an assistant at the time. It was like this gigantic dude. And, like, he had an assistant, and they all broke it up, and I was like. I went up to Darren and I was like, hey, dude, you know, like, you know, I love you, man, but Mickey, I'm out. Peace. And he was like, what? And I was like, no, him up. You know, talk to me like that. Him.

[Daniel Tosh]

And did you. You walked?

[Mike Marino]

I was about to. At lunch, and then they. And then, like, Mickey was like, I'm sorry, man. You know, And I was like, that's.

[Daniel Tosh]

That's a better story. It's better story to have Mickey come up to you and apologize.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, but you can't. You know, it's like, dude, we're all trying to make something. You can't talk to somebody like that, you know?

[Daniel Tosh]

I like it. I. But I like watching people blow up.

[Mike Marino]

It's rare. But when pushed, what would you do?

[Daniel Tosh]

Me? I won't fight, but I love to scream. Yeah, fuck you. I'm not a fighter. I'm not a fighter. I'm not a fighter.

[Mike Marino]

But, you know, neither am I. But you know what? Like. Like, someone talks to you, down to you like that, and is aggressive to you, I'm not gonna put up with it.

[Daniel Tosh]

What do you do for fun? You have any hobbies?

[Mike Marino]

I don't really have much. I mean, I. I love movies. I love art. I mean, I just, like, collapse, man.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I mean. But nothing. Do you work out?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, I do. Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

So, I mean, that's cool.

[Daniel Tosh]

When do you go to the gym?

[Mike Marino]

Whenever I can.

[Daniel Tosh]

Good for you. Good for your machine. Mike's a machine. You covering your whole body with your own ink. Do you make the art or.

[Mike Marino]

No, I haven't gotten a tattoo in 25 years. I mean, those are old.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

Guy named Anil Gupta, an Indian tattoo guy down in New York City, super famous guy, you know, he did them like, I don't know, 2002 or 2003 or something. Michelangelo, like Sistine Chapel stuff.

[Daniel Tosh]

And what made you just stop getting more.

[Mike Marino]

I don't know. I was like. I didn't care anymore. Yeah. I don't know. Do you. What do you have. Do you have tattoos? You have nothing?

[Daniel Tosh]

Nothing.

[Mike Marino]

And you never wanted to try?

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I want to do it, but I want to wait.

[Mike Marino]

Well, how long until your next goal? Until you have polyps?

[Daniel Tosh]

I just Want. I want to wait, and then I'm going to get covered just in weird shit.

[Mike Marino]

What are you going to do?

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't know.

[Mike Marino]

Give Beavis and Butthead.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yes.

[Mike Marino]

Your butthole?

[Daniel Tosh]

No, mainly King of the Hill everywhere. Which are you more proud of, winning an Emmy or losing an Oscar?

[Mike Marino]

I don't really care. You know, like, I mean, I love the whole thing for artists. You know, giving an award to an artist, that's awesome, but it's petty and competitive and stupid, and I don't really care.

[Daniel Tosh]

But you wish you would have won the Oscar, right?

[Mike Marino]

Everybody does, right? I mean, but I don't wish for it. You know, if it happens, it happens.

[Daniel Tosh]

You've been nominated for three Academy Awards. Are you competing in the same category as Glamour Makeup, or is that a different category?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, it's all kind of grouped into one kind of thing, you know, which. You know, it's like two different worlds. I think it's sort of like the accumulation of the film's makeup. I think the origin of the award was a prosthetic award, essentially, because the very first Oscar given was in the 50s, but then they gave one to Planet of the Apes, and then their very first one was Rick Baker for American Werewolf in London. And then it was like, consecutive awards, and it was like prosthetic. And then I think in the 2000s or something, it started looking at more broad hair and makeup, so it kind of became one big category.

[Daniel Tosh]

My real question about your work is, why do you use photos of Mark Zuckerberg to cover up the nipples of your work on. On your Instagram?

[Mike Marino]

Well, censoring artists work, man. That guy, I mean, maybe he's cool or something, but, like, there's no chance. I don't know. There's no.

[Daniel Tosh]

There's no chance Mark Zuckerberg will ever be cool.

[Mike Marino]

Well, you know, you put a picture up and then it gets deleted because of, I don't know, some kind of algorithm or whatever it is. It's like, dude, this shit's fake. Like, censoring art or censoring someone. Like, what is that? Who's the authority here? You're not putting on porno or something, you know, like, where maybe you'd consider, like, this is wrong to the public that kids could see. But, like, I don't know. Have you. Yes, I have. It's happening right now.

[Daniel Tosh]

Hit the music, Ed. I'm just wondering, like. Like, you know, there's got to be some porn that have said, like, horror, porn, horror.

[Mike Marino]

There's got to be somebody's Done it, I'm sure.

[Daniel Tosh]

And they're like. You're like, I'll throw you a bone here.

[Mike Marino]

I don't know. Like, that shit's trash, man.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I. I didn't think it was good or. I mean, I know it's beneath you. I just want to know if you've ever.

[Mike Marino]

Well, what was it like being in that point?

[Daniel Tosh]

I didn't say. Have you ever been in a porn? Just want to know if you ever done the makeup for somebody.

[Mike Marino]

No. There is an ET Porn. I heard. I've seen some photos of it. It's pretty funny.

[Eddie]

Big, long finger.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah. Like every once in a while, a friend will send, like, this image of, like, ET Bent over or something, you know? Like,

[Daniel Tosh]

everybody's on the show gets gifts. These. These people just sent me something. I don't want it, Harry. Plus, it's. It's a razors system.

[Mike Marino]

Cool. I don't need that. I need razors asap.

[Daniel Tosh]

These are all new masks.

[Mike Marino]

Thanks, man.

[Daniel Tosh]

And. And hydrating serums for faces. They're unused, but I don't use these ones, so I don't want them. But I figured.

[Mike Marino]

Cool, thanks. I hope they're used.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, they're not. Look, you can tell it's not used.

[Mike Marino]

Oh, cool.

[Daniel Tosh]

Like, it still hasn't been punctured.

[Mike Marino]

Let's try it.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I'm not doing anything, but anytime I see.

[Mike Marino]

I saw parsley seed.

[Daniel Tosh]

Is that any good?

[Mike Marino]

I really love that.

[Daniel Tosh]

There's more face stuff.

[Mike Marino]

Cool. Thanks, man. This is awesome, by the way. Cool. I can't wait to give this away.

[Daniel Tosh]

Give it away.

[Mike Marino]

Hold on.

[Daniel Tosh]

I got something else. This is a nice.

[Mike Marino]

Oh, cool.

[Daniel Tosh]

Giving you all this.

[Mike Marino]

A bath bomb.

[Daniel Tosh]

You're gonna. No, that's not a bath bomb. Put that on the floor, please. All of this stuff? Yeah, don't worry about it. You're 48.

[Mike Marino]

49.

[Daniel Tosh]

49. Have you had a colonoscopy yet?

[Mike Marino]

No, I won't.

[Daniel Tosh]

You've done it before. What do you mean you won't.

[Mike Marino]

Fuck all that. It's time. It's time, bro.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, that's not. It's such a bad. It's such a bad way to go when. It doesn't have to go that way. Well, you know, I have an extra one. You have to take the whole bottle for your prep work.

[Mike Marino]

Oh, thank you. Wow. I'm gonna drink this on the way home.

[Daniel Tosh]

Don't you. Oh, don't you dare. Don't you dare drink. You have to drink the whole bottle, and it flushes out the night. Before. That's not you. It was a tube for.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, I know you had some of this, dude.

[Daniel Tosh]

I had the other bottle.

[Mike Marino]

I know you, man.

[Daniel Tosh]

I had two bottles. I just had a colonoscopy. There were no polyps.

[Mike Marino]

What would happen?

[Daniel Tosh]

What do you mean?

[Mike Marino]

What do you have to do? You go in and what happens? You bend over and like. Dude, sticks.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, they don't bend. They don't bend your head. What do you do? You turn to your side and I don't know what is a camera? Yes, but they. But if there's polyps on. On you, they get rid of them. So it's the only surgery that. That is actually. You know, the check is actually preventative for cancer in the future.

[Mike Marino]

Okay, well, maybe that's another way you do. I don't want to do it.

[Daniel Tosh]

I know you. Nobody, nobody fucking wants to do a colonoscopy.

[Mike Marino]

What do you have to do? Drink a weird liquid or something?

[Daniel Tosh]

You have to drink that.

[Mike Marino]

Oh, really? So does it, like, glow in your ass?

[Daniel Tosh]

No, it just flushes you out to where just nothing but water is pouring out of you. Shit. And it's bad. It's a lot of it. I can't believe.

[Mike Marino]

Did you feel lighter after?

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I just. My rim was sore because of wiping. It was just horrible.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Mike Marino]

That's fucked.

[Daniel Tosh]

We'll be right back.

[Daniel Tosh]

Foam, latex or silicone.

[Mike Marino]

Well, they're still used both. I mean, back in the day, it was the only material you can glue on someone's face, but it's an opaque material. You have to paint it to kind of give the illusion of translucency in skin. But now we're using silicone to wear, like for penguin. It's a translucent piece you're gluing on that's tinted from like within, and then you're airbrushing colors over it and it really looks like skin. But if it's a bodysuit or something, like a monster or whatever, it has to be foam, which is like a lightweight material. But you have to paint it really expertly, you know. But I mean, it's like any other material we use. There's so many hundreds of materials we use. Silicone is like the primary thing.

[Daniel Tosh]

Are you building masks at all?

[Mike Marino]

Not per se. A lot of what we do are like little pieces that get glued on and blend into the skin. And it's kind of like a mask, but it's really like the super fine version of it.

[Daniel Tosh]

I used to run around this big baby mask all the time.

[Mike Marino]

Oh, yeah, that one.

[Daniel Tosh]

That one's.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, that's a guy named. Yeah, he makes a like real flesh masks or something like that. It's like he makes these like politicians and those. They're good. They're cool. They're oversized, though, but can have you.

[Daniel Tosh]

You've never been in that world. You've never.

[Mike Marino]

I've made masks like that, but I haven't done it in years.

[Daniel Tosh]

Make some crazy masks. Start selling that thing. I'm on a little side hustle for you. What would you say to the person that has to put Trump together every morning? Are they going to take all day?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, I think, you know, I don't know what's going on with that. Like, I don't know if it's like, he. He's decided that he has to be this character that, like, he's got to go, we got to have white circles around my eyes and orange skin. Like, I don't know. Like, at this point, you don't just think he would be like, all right, I saw myself on tv and my eyes are white. Maybe I can change something.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I can't.

[Mike Marino]

But it's like, character. He's kind of like Pennywise, you know,

[Daniel Tosh]

Very much like Pennywise.

[Mike Marino]

You know, it's like that kind of thing.

[Eddie]

I want to ask about fat suits.

[Mike Marino]

Like, fat suits.

[Daniel Tosh]

Eddie, what do you want to know about fat suits?

[Eddie]

Just, like Brendan Fraser and the whale, right? What is the. How do you build that from, like, when he was taking a shower? It's, like, so disgustingly real looking, right?

[Mike Marino]

So those are sculptures. I mean, they're hyper realistic sculptures that are built. And I think. I think that was modeled in a digital sculpting program called Zbrush. And then it was part clay, part digital printout. And it was like, it's a suit person wears, and they film it. They get the right. The best camera angle. And then editing is important, too. It's like, if they cut away, sometimes it might be a real dude. And then when they go to the close up, it might be him in that suit, you know, so trickery.

[Daniel Tosh]

Tyra Banks. Remember when she used to run around in a fat suit and, like, say, oh, my goodness, I can't believe how hard it is to be not beautiful. I was like, all right.

[Mike Marino]

Crazy.

[Daniel Tosh]

Did Howard Stern actually commission you to build the Beetlejuice?

[Mike Marino]

No, no, no. You know, back when was that? Maybe in the early 2000s. I always listened to the show for years.

[Daniel Tosh]

Who, me?

[Mike Marino]

I did.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, that was my 125.

[Mike Marino]

He's so great. Beetlejuice is, like, the greatest character ever, you know? And I was, like, a huge fan of his, to be honest, and. And I contacted Sean, who's no longer with us, his old manager.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

I was like, hey, man, we should life cast Beetlejuice, and just because I wanted his head, you know, and I wanted it, you know, because it's like, like how often you see somebody that looks so cool, you know, like, so interesting. So I contacted. He's like, yeah. And I was like, do you think he would be able to handle, like, getting rubber all over his face? And he's like, no, he'll be able to do it. So he came over and it was like, I don't know, seven in the Morning, like, they show up to my studio, like, and they're already drinking beers. You know, it's like they're drinking beers and, like, there's, like, all these Heinekens in my refrigerator and shit. And, like, Beetle sat there like a total professional, and I was like, beetle, I'm going to mix this shit up, put on your face. And you just got to sit there. And then we're going to put these bandages on and then take it off. And it's. He could have been more cooperative and understood everything perfectly. And he sat there and we did a life cast of him. Pulled it off, and then he had a beer and left. It was unbelievable.

[Daniel Tosh]

How long did he have to sit?

[Mike Marino]

I don't know. A half hour. He was underneath it.

[Daniel Tosh]

And what are you. How are you breathing in that scenario?

[Mike Marino]

You just, like, clear the nostrils out, you know, there's no straws or anything. You know, we're doing it to you one day, actually, what we do now,

[Daniel Tosh]

it literally makes me panic just thinking about it.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, we don't really do it that much now. We do 3D scanning. We scan the person in and, like, get a. Print it, you know, out of this resin. But life casting is just, like, amazing thing. But we did it, and then it sat on Howard Stern's desk for years. It was right behind him on his desk.

[Daniel Tosh]

That's pretty great. What do you do with all the prosthetics and makeup after a shoot?

[Mike Marino]

I save them. I mail them to people as, like, you know, they're trash man.

[Daniel Tosh]

It's like you have to just throw everything away.

[Mike Marino]

Well, it's. It's impossible to save. They're so soft, they peel off the skin, and you can't save it.

[Daniel Tosh]

You ever had fun with your garbage man? Like on trash day, just have weird shit hanging out of your can?

[Mike Marino]

No, never. It never happened. But my dumpsters have been filled with weird shit. You know, just dead bodies aren't body parts and craziness.

[Daniel Tosh]

Do you like it on. On a movie set when they're kind of trying to just work things out in real time, or do you. Are you, like, knock it off. Have this figured out.

[Mike Marino]

A lot of what we do is preparation. You know, it's kind of like you gotta prepare and test it. I've been on sets where, like, shit hasn't been tested and, like, directors freaking out and it's, like, costing money and, like. Like, it's a nightmare. I've been on a few productions where, like, producers are. And director is an. Luckily not our department. But I've seen other people get, like, you know, fired and all that kind of thing.

[Daniel Tosh]

Do you care solely about your department, or do you care about the whole of the project? I mean, like, have you been on stuff where you're like, your work is amazing, but you know that this is a turd that you're working on a

[Mike Marino]

lot of the time, you know, so, you know, sometimes, you know, you can sense. Huh. I don't know. I don't want to name names, but.

[Daniel Tosh]

But what about the other way around? What about where you thought things were a turd and it turned out, like,

[Mike Marino]

oh, a lot of times, isn't that funny happen?

[Daniel Tosh]

Like, did you know the Penguin was gonna work like it did?

[Mike Marino]

No one knew.

[Daniel Tosh]

I know, but when you were on there, were you like, oh, this.

[Mike Marino]

This is amazing, or seemed really cool. Like, cinematography looked good, writing was good. Like, Colin obviously is amazing actor. You know, I mean, it was. But you never know.

[Daniel Tosh]

Off the charts, too.

[Mike Marino]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Kristen Miliani y, she's great. I mean, that show is a rare one, to be honest.

[Daniel Tosh]

Are you going back?

[Mike Marino]

We don't know yet. We don't know yet, but we're doing the next Batman.

[Daniel Tosh]

But. But. But the show is going back to. So you are in a good position of leverage there.

[Mike Marino]

Well, I don't know. I mean, we'll. We'll see. I mean, if. I mean, if they write a cool script and it happens, then I don't think it's like, I thought the show

[Daniel Tosh]

was definitely coming back.

[Mike Marino]

I think people want it to be back.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I think the show is definitely.

[Mike Marino]

No, I hope so.

[Daniel Tosh]

So, but then if the show is definitely back, are you. Are you contractually, like, tied to it for its duration of a show or. Not necessarily.

[Mike Marino]

Well, I created it. I mean, I don't really own it.

[Daniel Tosh]

That's my next. That's my next question. Can you own characters that you create?

[Mike Marino]

Probably. I know Rob Bottin had partially owned robocop, okay. So they really wanted him to do that movie. And he was like, what the fuck is this RoboCop movie? Hell, no. And he's like, like, all right, I want the toy rights, and I want poster rights. And I'm like, all right, yeah, there's going to be toys for this. Hell, no. And then they were. There was.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

And like, there it was a, you know, cult hit, you know, so it was like, he made a lot of money on that later. And it was kind of like, same with George Lucas in Star Wars. Everyone's like, he's Like, I want the toy rights and everything. They're like, this movie's gonna suck, so you're fine. Here, here. And he made more money on the toys and the merchandising than the movie itself. So, I mean, I don't think they'd make that mistake now. Like, they're not going to give me the, you know, the penguin and toy rights. I mean, that's never happened.

[Daniel Tosh]

Nobody wants that toy. That's not a toy. I have the Tosh point.

[Mike Marino]

If I was in charge of penguin toy, I'd make it cool and people would want it, you know.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, I have all the rights to Tosh zero toys. And I'll be honest with you, I haven't made a dollar. Do you know how many movies you've done? For real?

[Mike Marino]

Yeah, about a hundred.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Mike Marino]

You know, I've been doing this for 30 years.

[Daniel Tosh]

Do you update your resume?

[Mike Marino]

Does anyone have a resume anymore? I don't know.

[Daniel Tosh]

Mike. Dude, thank you for being here.

[Mike Marino]

You got it. Cool. Thanks, man.

[Daniel Tosh]

I want to thank Mike for being on the show. Carl, is that you or is that Mike in a costume?

[Mike Marino]

Hey, that's a good question. He's in the costume.

[Daniel Tosh]

Oh, I, I know Mike's makeup anywhere. No, that was pretty. That's pretty great. And the guy just taught himself how to do something.

[Eddie]

Love it.

[Daniel Tosh]

And now he's, now he's just out, you know, fighting celebrities, living his life. Don't mess with him. Right. I just spit. Oh, well. Patreon.com toss show if you're wanting some more content.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Daniel Tosh]

My first farewell tour tickets are selling like hotcakes. Hot cakes. Where am I going to be? I'm doing the Northeast coming up real soon. Come on. Connecticut, Mass. Where else am I? Pennsylvania. Oh, then I'm heading up to Canada, getting some Toronto love, some Montreal love. Oh, bonjour, Montreal. Just we. Danielle. Tossshowstore.com and now hit the music. Turn it up. Louder. Now fade it out. They love me. They love me not. What do you got for me, Eddie?

[Eddie]

This is from Jennifer via email.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I probably don't fit your demo as a 46 year old mom and grandma from Iowa, but I have always thought you were just so funny. Thanks for all the laughs.

[Daniel Tosh]

Oh, that's nice. And of course that's my demo. Hot 46 year old grandmas, right? You know, Ed's always talking about grandma porn.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Hey, here you got an example where you're like, that's not so gross. Well, yeah, that's a 46 year old. She's A dozen years younger than us. What a smoke show.

[Eddie]

We're in. Send us a link.

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, thank you. Yeah, I don't know that she does grandma porn.

[Eddie]

I don't think she does.

[Daniel Tosh]

I just meant in general. You talk about the genre all the time. All right, what else? That was so. That was they love me. What do you got for they love me not?

[Eddie]

This is from Angelo Moore. 1097. On the running bit. So you don't like running trails because you don't like seeing the same thing twice, yet you prefer running loops. So prefer seeing the same thing 8 to 12 times. Three crying face emojis, the skull, another crying face emoji.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, see this, this is. This is. This is triggering. This person is exactly the type of person that if they worked for me, they would be fired quickly because they don't get obvious things. When I'm saying like, if you work for me, you have to accept that I don't always paint a perfect picture, but you better be able to fill in the gaps really quickly. I said I don't like, like a there and back where you have to run on a trail to a certain point, then turn around, run back. I prefer a trail run that does one complete loop. I wasn't talking about running on a track eight to ten times, you dumb crying emoji. Crying emoji. Crying emoji. You're just stupid. No, I like to see everything one time. One massive three to six mile loop. That's my preference. Whether it's a town, whether it's a trail through the woods or, you know, I don't have any other examples. Those are the two. See you next week.

[Mike Marino]

Everyone knows winter is the real messmaker. You don't need Weathertech floor liners for summer unless you hit the beach and half the beach ends up back in your car or the campsite dirt ends up in your trunk. Then you'd want a cargo liner or a road trip goes sideways. Lemonade spills, Ketchup goes rogue. Ice cream drips. Yeah, you'd be pretty happy about those Weathertech seat protectors. So just to be clear as the mud, you're inevitably going to step in this summer, you don't need WeatherTech unless you plan on doing summer. Visit weathertech.com today.
