On number one welcome but can't -- -- it's been awhile and get the battle -- got.
I don't even after handed bat for a minute I really can president of the boy if I didn't I -- -- the last time I -- like the -- really created -- and.
No Jill Murray is serious enough -- but given to Bob -- would acknowledge that I like about -- 005 good godless America.
-- it is terrific in this movie.
And you look in -- -- genuine person I don't know what -- yeah I'd look younger remotely people of the Fed impression of -- didn't like me you're totally stellar rendered it for gender about the it's not good sand it is.
Played like an edit it is funny can see it very.
Folks -- -- name and now he's a man and -- -- -- -- -- and and -- -- -- -- the -- with -- human -- but like people really -- you know when you really spend time with them.
He's not impressed he's gonna -- -- the well a lot of people think and before we get into the movie itself which is very very has been called his darkest art can be it -- -- you -- if you -- individual things it's you.
And there everything is as you might think -- him back I don't feel it's me -- I really don't I mean in some ways.
I I -- now I'm sure he's he's saying things that I agree with about 9%.
But I'm not homicidal or fortune on city are similar to YouTube is sentencing to dissent from and I just dislikes -- -- to do without the voice from year's island -- but.
But you did this thing he had a piece about how you wish people who voted on American Idol could have this exploding device and their phones -- -- that is.
I knew that maybe that was part of the Genesis for the movie -- -- you're in England watching.
You know my sweet sixteen -- and I super sweet sixteen and that I was a and so sad and -- realize that there's an -- export in and yet it was the Genesis that and then there is it's the movie that was actually of phone.
A ringtone commercial where I am elephant comes baton and and and a male and flash elated at meadowlands and that's the funny isn't ready however and there -- -- my -- I -- today.
And -- office think these people should be shot right -- I mean you know.
I I'm not real home homicidal either but have.
I never know that much in this movie yeah no I was playing a part I'm just an actor.
I was.
Play in this -- that Bob wrote and but did -- feel good.
It felt really good after governing gun in your own miles per couple days it feels real good to shoot other people -- to -- the girl around you know.
-- how a suicidal people busy there's Thomas person the and you think you know I managed veneman announced so many times this year in the again how the -- Burbank based US treasury funding.
But I was wondering if it kind of was a good start catharsis for you to kind of be able to go around and -- always people in this film.
It didn't feel pretty good after you have in your mouth and yeah I'd say there's like a post stripper let down.
I can go to strip Joseph voters -- couple days afterwards -- -- That should should take your clothes offensive mile.
But I and I knew somebody cuts you offers something nearly as she killed -- -- -- -- and how many content you -- to really kill people and a little movie theater were ill behaved in granite -- can't watch the film when there.
Make Illinois are on the phone island as well and ego surfing and looking at the -- trailer.
And YouTube like videos -- gallery of these guys hopefully you know but -- problem is -- is -- -- people who like me and just like me can't spell my name itself and that just looking at small tractors.
As well earth movers never look at betrayal there and it's and -- people both -- -- a bit what.
So I'm not supposed Jackson movie theater saying look you have guys like they're gonna you know to go down there's no question -- how did you pick your targets.
No -- was a -- they have is.
Is to get there literally are targets and and it how did you choose from.
I want to go after I kind of went after night I was thinking who who who you know just folks at you know Frank's old thing is he really Canada's dragon character he'll play you have an agenda of and -- he -- -- -- -- -- act nice and have you called series -- we really accelerated our nastiness and I'm not saying that -- man.
Guilty of that in the past they really did like a few years back say you know -- -- you know I really you know it is celebrity bashing for celebrity bashing -- -- and and left the race you know it's kind of really strange that we're so.
You know not interested in solutions is my -- -- haven't called us left wing snuff porn there's yet -- -- -- -- It's.
We were gonna Marquez yeah really does that open up.
I -- it's not it's.
I mean if you go round and the inability of the basic issue you know you have a little -- it looks like it might be based on news channel that I where -- didn't and and I may have just said we're going into the -- the -- -- want to territory.
-- the answer back.
But do.
Heather.
Nastiness and Collison and -- -- -- of the that people get I mean the satire of well done to deal with with the lack of kindness.
I think I'm so pissed off about the lack of kindness and to -- the nasty -- -- -- like confirm yet exactly and it really was is a little bit based on.
I see your crazy I raise your crazy you know I I I there was.
A sign that I -- a lot of Tea Party rallies instead -- or.
Or come we came unarmed this time.
And I was -- You know that's really you know it it's insane you know yet but this -- left right component to this really I -- I -- kids about decency.
I think.
Because is that they if it hit it to to imply that there isn't conservatives.
That.
But that don't feel the same way it is ridiculous that -- -- there isn't wasted people -- what bothers me though a gunman out now liberal.
An -- not in the sexual term I'm gonna.
But I mean.
I don't believe there is equivalency I really do believe that you know this argument will the other side does it too I can't stand that is I don't think there's I was equivalency between left -- right terms of who the good guys through the bad guys are.
And -- what are -- saying I'm saying that I think conservatives are often more guilty of nastiness.
Well levels are well.
Well your -- about Clinton you and that he announced that you have to say that in no way that if they as I have to say this that I am.
I do agree you know that the that that that the nastiness.
Is is if it does seem.
That I do agree that in -- -- OJ -- -- moving and -- able to say you know though.
Trying to minimize mean why do autism has been I'm holly weird making a movie about Obama went down -- but.
I couldn't find the same kind of viciousness and and I know people go low on the site says there's -- in and no problems does that but I couldn't find that same kind of viciousness -- finding over and over again and and and that's why it's in the movie -- how did you prepare for this is -- -- -- -- -- the I think security you do is great and I just wonder how people.
Respond to you personally but you've done -- scared -- everybody's in the movie it just getting them.
How to prepare I've you know spent a lifetime and improvisational theater and -- -- been doing much as it comes and and I've I've made this kind of switch a dramatic stuff -- mad -- and shameless and I just I gotta be -- role here and I I never have been given.
Part where I had so much to do not.
I I thought this is a really good undertaking a great chance for me in -- -- called my brother Billy and I want to know you know is or something just for the stamina.
Be in the lead everyday -- I should know you know tricks two years something like that I should be taking any action on special and good -- -- Well he didn't call me -- -- -- four days we're worried on shooting -- so what -- -- -- -- -- your -- doesn't have been but.
I I've prepared just.
My you know doing my diligence and you know who memorize in the lines.
The -- are part of the character -- -- -- -- -- felt in sync with an all we really related.
I I have a hard time of the reality people because I I think it's just sort of -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- As early show.
I mean you're always and the movie isn't really and it is also -- Hopefully if it works for people it's a bow our appetite for -- stuff you and that sometimes question yeah I doubt I'm very now in my mind that.
My asking what would never -- about it I'm noticing what kind of dark mine came up with -- -- and yet you're gonna dark person you that.
Yeah it does I think you read -- by avenue as it was atheist vegetarian who is gun no.
Okay what -- this movie that's progressive.
But escalated with this movie is god -- -- and -- Murray who's the who's got the lead in this and I thought -- woman I think it was a -- -- -- was terrific -- had a great chemistry that she was really wonderfully a young actors but we have the -- we change done a lot of plays and things going that does not the Disney in the Nickelodeon stuff she's done but.
-- who was really good and and really could understand the contrast between the two of us and then from.
Brought her energy where I could be -- guys and their relationship was it.
Think what should really sexual but I felt that was like a -- and was odd because I felt a sexual tension but it wasn't right because well yeah and only guy and she's like -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Yeah I did in that leg -- making a ton of money -- but certainly anywhere that I down.
You know that Bret Michaels -- still a valid career I mean that's sure they could just follow them around anywhere where it's still the eighties.
And that's a lot of the country.
-- they expect me to go out and do -- voice but about a few years back I say about this is live now and doing stand up because on that perpetuating this persona that I -- no interest to name right so they took cuts on your part.
To quit and quit again and now you and and you still do extent of getting and I do -- as myself and get an extension myself I tell stories that -- any of these filmmaker business -- and pay the rent and every now and then but that's why do you stand them so exciting keep making these moments I don't -- the movies and -- but I I a a support myself.
In between him and and that's that they can make these movies about me making a lot of -- about me.
Suddenly being reinvented.
Or being a huge film director that just really personal stories.
I just feel the need to tell you -- teaming up in the future to have anything because you'll do more stuff to get rid of wearing and I feel like.
You know when he on when he found.
Tony there terriers -- -- -- I was I don't post is good looking is in for the long experience -- Tony Robertson though Tony Roberts yeah you got Tony Robbins yeah anybody I don't think that's that's another thing I want to console -- -- -- -- -- -- guru -- -- This this this role in godless American jobs that that idea I just must open up for you a whole bunch of opportunities when people finally get a load of this movie that I hope so because -- because I'm gonna go -- -- -- -- to -- in this movie and I'm not making any money as we speak.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You know some of your reputation as you know -- -- -- people go we're gonna have Bob -- -- got movie doesn't bring matches yeah hello -- -- and -- and what was that -- about that because I mean that I was really mean being frustrated -- The biggest.
We -- just -- -- and the -- -- -- -- some estimates in a policy and I go on today's show and I said that on fire and I think it was obviously -- and -- -- again and psychological thing -- is that.
I -- this kind of afraid of being accepted on that show up I didn't even want to be a regular I don't and that he had it certainly haven't gotten out of regular list is the yeah a few times against that and and convicted for their parents.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- What is -- any thought of like you do most people would think.
I really would lead to be able to come back at the dirty little secret is number one most don't like that this guess because they -- against Mac that doesn't like -- -- the host as they wanna be able to -- back to -- that you don't hear occasional as I I think I was Israeli China and my career probably really like tired of I say the feeling I was like gun.
-- -- Like a match game panelists and I mean like persona where -- on what did he do originally remember what he does really look like Brett -- in this Atlanta this would wipe out the -- -- -- -- It's numbers may I don't think shower or -- are -- movement by the way what is Betty White really bad person.
Betty -- may be an anti personnel out of -- -- I where where they see this feeling -- you -- that you it is a word you're active again what a magnet it was that night describing it yen is seen.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I -- to do it myself I she's is everything I did she's Kanye you really -- say that -- any real idea of this tiny unit that.
I think -- getting some laughs so she's not America's sweetheart TO.
I you know I it's still in -- -- agreement and my and the yet everyday huge legs and finally.
Exit that average because she's really in animals and and go.
You can mass settlement was channeling it's not there yes yeah we couldn't find the -- And by the way oh yeah I admit it I I.
I don't know if I never -- to the story I auditioned for the David Letterman show.
One night at the comic strip and had to follow you -- -- and you got the job and -- my -- -- -- -- I can follow this kind of -- -- data show and -- on with Barry White -- I can't -- anyway I never Estonia -- and I and I sit and I never forgot the fact that.
I work not for you governor -- got in this show but I I mean I whose noise and again as I could tell -- that's definitely good this really an LAL.
-- -- you turned out yeah November -- -- a -- tools and the comedians -- gradually this -- are no complaints about my career I understand that -- and I always I think easier to -- -- -- and the funny bone and there yet but I haven't had an up and I remember seeing in the -- I like you do and then just in their profile I couldn't bury -- and thanks so.
