0:00 [Music] Welcome back, boys. Today and girl. Today we're talking about is cancelling plans a better feeling than intercourse? Absolutely. Oh, absolutely. Well, I guess it depends. I'll show you guys how to cancel plans. This is what I He's really good at it. Go ahead. Yeah. He's done it so many times to us. Yeah. Just always blame somebody else. It's always out of your control. I can't go. Oh, it's not. I want to be there, but you know, that is the sickest perk of like a wife. You could blame her. It's lit. She does the same with me. I throw her under the bus all the time. How did she do it? Oh, dude. Anytime you want to get out of something and you get to like, you know, you're on the same page of using your significant others. Awesome. But you guys can't use that to me anymore cuz I now But what kind of thing would Nina say like that you

0:51 forget what you're saying? What's the How does How does that work? So whether it be like oh like oh uh he's he's traveling he's not home so I got to stay home and take care of the cast. Okay that's good or like uh oh he's got this event so like I can only be at this thing I can only stop by for a little bit but we got to go to this event with him type thing. That's good. Dude, you guys are so dishonest. I just go ████ no. I don't want to go with you. Oh yeah. No we don't do that. I don't do ████ no. recently my friends Joe recently what I've been saying is like I used to always feel obligated to give a reason of why I can't go to something but now I just go nah man I can't yeah that's what I do now too I just say no I won't be able to I just say no and I and then they stop they don't they don't ask a follow-up question and I go yes it's like sexual nirvana dude what if they're just asking to be polite cuz they're like we don't really want Nick to go but we should ask to be polite

1:41 honestly then everybody a win-win that's a win-win Dude, it's too many games for me. It's way worse when someone goes, "What are you doing on the 12th of June? Give me the details." Yeah. And they don't even say what it is yet. And you're like, "A s███." And it's like, and it's like, "Okay, okay, great. Can you help me move?" It's like, you know how you handle that? You just say, "Oh, I have a tentative thing on that day, but I'm not sure. I'll I'll let you know what's up." That's really good thing. That's good. Yeah. But for gig workers, though, it's true because I can use that. You really don't know. It's on hold. Work is hold cuz on some days if they say like, "Hey, can you do a Saturday?" And I'm like, "Saturdays are usually kind of hard for me always anyway, right?" So I go, "Ah, I don't know, baby. We'll see." Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what my favorite thing is about living in so many cities is that like never taking it personal.

2:31 That's right. And then if I really just don't want to see them, then I just leave early and and buy a plane ticket to fly away from them. I have to go to the airport 4 hours earlier today. Sorry. I like to do that to like Kindred and stuff. What is [Laughter] What are you doing on January? Blah blah blah. You need them to go because it's like Well, usually it's not like I need you to do this service for me. Usually it's like a gig based thing. So like, so anybody who's quick to like be like, "Oh, I'm available. I'm available." But that's you giving them something. Yeah. But that's it's fun to see who's like quick to respond cuz it's quick to respond. Can you do that again? But then when people respond, go, "Can you guys help me move?" Just get them, dude. Everyone who said they're available be at my house. You know, a lot of those things that people

3:22 just used to do, like drive you to the airport, help you move, all that ████ is like outsourced now. It's like, yeah, there's no community no more. You know what though? I do I do like helping someone move a little bit. I do. You like that? He helped me move. I don't even like having people help me. Yeah, I feel bad. I like helping, but it I have to really like the person. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. But there's a sense of accomplishment where like when my sister was moving out of her place and I was like, I think we can clear this in like 25 minutes. Oh, you like the you like the challenge mode. Let's just see what's up. You like you like playing Tetris in the U-Haul and stuff sometimes. I do like that. If I if my parents ever ask me to help them move though, I'm going to fake my own death. I'll kill myself. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to go I'm going to go live in Haiti. Sorry that day. But do your parents where they live now currently have a lot of ████ like stuff? My mom has like a

4:12 ████ storage container just filled to the ████ top with ████ So whenever that day junkyard Well, exactly. So whenever that day comes Yeah. I'm out of here, buddy. My sister like tried to preempt my parents because they're obviously getting older. My dad just turned 70 and they're hoarders, too. Their garage is insane. And she was like, "Hey, you guys should start like clearing out like the garage and like organizing stuff." Yeah. And they're like, "Why?" It's like, you don't want to explicitly be like, "Cuz when you die, we have to do it all, but it's also like there's so much useless stuff in there. You should start clearing some stuff out." And it's like, I told my sister, "I'll come. Gas it. Gas it. Light a match." Yeah. Like just burn it. Set it on fire. And then you start a whole new fire. It'll go to

5:02 the next homes and ████ Why underneath? Why underneath? It'd be an honor. We know why. Underneath. Like it was a bunch of useless ████ Trust me. It had to go up. It had to go up. What's the most like what's the most useless thing your parents have kept around that if you had to gauge like what is the most useless thing? Empty boxes. Boxes and boxes and boxes within boxes. Just empty boxes. You found a box filled with actual garbage. Like it was just trash in a box that was taped. Why? Yeah. Yeah. Says dishes on it. And then it's crossed out and it says something else. So what? My dad said probably what happened there. And they always, you know, have great exper. Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah. Like trash. Tr trash. Like can ████ cans. So they explain it, but they don't throw it away. They explain it. That one they threw away cuz they're embarrassed. But

5:52 it was like they're like, "Well, when when we moved from Virginia to San Diego, we probably just kept on throwing ████ into boxes and we didn't even realize it." Oh, and then someone had taped it up and then it just got on the move. That's pretty funny. And then it survived for like a decade. Oh, dude. It just sat on our on our porch cuz we we had a porch outside. And by the way, you couldn't even see out the window cuz it just had wall of boxes all the way to the top. The closest my parents ever got to getting divorced was over this. Really? Yeah. Like really ████ close. cuz my mom had uh uh my mom kept a bunch of their wedding presents from when they got married which was like I don't know in the early '7s. So good technology probably. Yeah. So she in the tool shed I as a kid I always saw like a big stack of like appliances like f████████

6:42 appliances. I was like whoa that's really old. And she just liked to keep it there even though they didn't need it all. And then finally, like by the time I was like 10 years old, my dad's like, "I'm going to give that away to my niece who's getting married cuz she doesn't have anything." And that's a nice moment to be able to get some use out of this stuff even though it's outdated. Then my mom's like, "No, like don't throw like keep it. I wanted to give it to our kids when they get married." My dad's like, "You think they're going to use '7s appliances when they get married?" Bread maker 2030. You might know I would have liked it. But then make them like this. So, they had a big fight about it and then my dad got pissed and just took all of it and gave it to my uh niece or his niece anyway. And then my mom found out and she was like, "Go back there and get it all." And he was like he's like, "Are you kid?" He's like, "That's going to be the most embarrassing thing like I've ever tendencies." Yeah. She he she made him go back to my niece and take all of

7:32 it back. And then this one night, I'm in the I was in the living room watching TV and I just start hearing a s███████ of boxes being thrown and it's my dad at the front door throwing all of the boxes back in the house. He went and got it all. You know, you know how ████ embarrassing that is for an Asian family to like do that ████ He's throwing them back in the house and my mom's like, "What are you doing?" And then they got in a huge ass fight and I had to like call the cops and ████ Wow. How old were you at this time? 10. I was 10. ████ Yeah. Yeah. I've never ran out of Your dad was right, dude. You should have backed him up because my dad started actually physically like beating on my mom and then she was like uh he was trying to open up he was trying to open up the knife drawer in the kitchen and she was blocking it with her body and he was trying to open up the knife drawer. So I had to call the ████ cops and then that night my mom goes pick who you want to live with. Oh ████ And then my sister's all I already chose

8:23 mom. So were you in choose Were you in kind of a dad mood? No. I felt the like by the time it was like 2:00 a.m. my dad's just watching TV just like this. My mom's in the ████ my sister's bedroom with a knife like that, like waiting for him to come in and my sister's in there. And then I'm just like, dude, and then I go to my dad and and he's he's just not talking to me. And I just felt so sorry for him. Was like this with the knife or was she like this with the knife? The other way. Outward. Outward. And she I was just like, "F███, I'm gonna just go with my dad cuz I feel bad for this fool. like he's not going to have nothing. And then they they didn't talk for months and then finally they ████ prayed. They prayed. But Jesus saved it. Yeah. Did they get back together? Yeah. Yeah. They didn't they didn't end up they didn't end up filing. Uh my mom straight up verbally told me like, "We're getting a

9:13 divorce and everything, but it didn't get down to the filing. They ended up like working it out after enough like church and counseling." And then and he was like, "Hey, no more knives." Right. Yeah. He he he changed he changed a lot after that. Three. No more knives, brother. Where are those appliances now? I don't know what happened to them. Yeah, I think it's still somewhere in the garage. No, I'm sure they're gone now. I don't know what what happened to them, but uh yeah, they just they're at a Goodwill somewhere. Your nieces. They stopped fighting about that ████ Thank god. But yeah, cuz my dad's a he's an ultimate uh nonhoarder and my mom is an ultimate hoarder. So them together is like really rough. He's like, why do you want to take up space? It's Santa Mantto. But my dad is the kind where he'll throw ████ out without telling anyone. So it's like a hoarder would. That's the worst nightmare. Did your mom ever notice when he would like throw

10:03 stuff out? Yeah, I would notice. You throw out my toys. He go I think you've outgrown this ████ and just dump it in the trash. I'm like, Willie done it last week. Yeah. My dad used to do that with people's mail, like other people's mail. He would like look through it and throw it away. And my mom be like, "What the ████ I didn't even get this letter, bro." Bro, my dad would do wild ████ like that and then but then like his old ████ he would have all these DVDs, bro. He'd have so many ████ DVDs. It was ridiculous. So many DVDs. Well, it's kind of like his profession. I know, but it's like get rid of them eventually. You're going to get the binder. Get rid of them. I got a binder. He eventually He eventually got rid of them. But like if I'm if I'm working on a movie, I want like the cover. Yeah. Yeah. But Oh, yeah. I see. The funny thing is my dad doesn't give a ████ about none of that. You know what I

10:53 mean? No. So it's like why do you have all this ████ And it's all these we he he was an Academy Awards member for a really long time. Right. So we would get so many ████ Right. Right. Right. Yeah. And we would have boxes and like in his garage where his like was his work office and they're like crappy cardboard sleeve ones. Yeah. Bro and then and we got so many different generations of it. So you can see like like the big box to the the sleeves and they're everywhere. And you're not going to watch that ████ cuz it'll have the overlay of your ████ Some of them like you have to used to have a special DVD player to watch them. He doesn't have that DVD. So it's like they're just sitting here like you're supposed to break these and they're also worthless. You see you see that ████ about the Academy of Wars voting that people are Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's ████ funny. Watch the movie you're voting on. People are still saying like Yeah. They just press play and they don't actually watch it. They just leave the room.

11:43 That's the same with when you're on SAG nomination committee. They didn't require us to watch ████ That's why I never believe any of that ████ But it was but they make you know what's cool though when you're on nomination committee and I that's why I think if you're on SAG if you get the invitation 100% do it. They make it as fun as possible so that you want to go to the events. So like when um if you let's say you there's like a Leonard DiCaprio movie that's part of the nomination. They try to incentivize you to go by like making it it's all going to be nomination people only and Leo's there and all the cast is there and that's the first time they're seeing it. So you get to experience that with them and ████ It's actually like really really worth going. That sounds fun. The word is it's not even about the movies, right? It's about hanging out in the parties and like whoever goes and has they have to like basically campaign for the movie. Like when Ben Affleck won for Argo, he like I think was complaining at the time cuz he had to do so much like

12:34 campaigning. So campaigning for it. Yeah. Argo is tight though. It's tight though because if you saw Argo as a nom nom, then it's like the Q&A at the end will probably make you love the movie more because they get to tell you how real that ████ was and how like it's you get to learn more ████ about it. Like I saw 12 Years a Slave that way and I was like ████ that's crazy. Like after Yeah, it's tough. But then when you hear them talk about it afterwards for the ████ two hours or on the panel, s███'s like like if you didn't like it already, you get sold at that point. Dude, if if I was on the academy thing and they're like they sent you 12 Years a Slave and you're like you're just kind of like I'm just going to put it in the thing and and I'll hit play and I'm I'm going out tonight. Oh, you know what? Also, number one, number one perk of this, if you're single, it's the ████ best date tool you'll ever get. They give you a plus one every time. Woo. So, you can take a ████ normie chick

13:25 that's never seen the big lights of the city and then you bring her to these things. They're like, "Yeah, you know, Glor Del Toro will be there. It'll be pretty it'll be pretty cool." You know, I'm dating a movie star. They treat you like you go to like Harmony Gold in Hollywood, that like private theater that's just for screening events. And it's like you never get to see that place. They have a table full of food. She's like leaning over and you're like, "Get that out of your mouth. We're doing anal tonight." No taquitos. Welcome to Hollywood. This is how it really is. I I would I would take girls on dates for the nom thing. It was so lit. It's really cool. You saw guy. And then you should never talk to him again. They're like, "Whatever happened to him?" I thought it went so well. He's wheeling and dealing. I just know he is. He's a big sex. No, I didn't have sex. I watched movies. The hell? Watching 12 years a slave. You can't have sex after that. But it's a random draw. Anyone with a SAG number could

14:15 possibly get that invitation. room. Go have a good night, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Life. Yeah. Jesus. Oh my god. It's like every sad movie. Nikki's like, "Come watch this sad movie with me." I'm like, "I'm Oh, yeah. You really don't like sad movies, huh?" I'm chilling, dude. Well, when you're trying to chill on a Friday night and then she's like, "You want to watch this movie?" I'm like, "This movie? This is like the heaviest movie you could pick right now." Monster. Yeah. And a lot And a lot of like Boys Don't Cry. A lot of the artsy movies that like win, right, that you're always like, "Ah, I should probably watch at least the the nominated films just because like that's supposed to be like esteemed or whatever." A lot of them sometimes are so like you feel like they're almost put in the nomination category just because they need to keep art a certain like Yeah. Well, it's called, isn't it called like what? Oscar baiting or something? For sure. Oscar

15:05 baiting. When you make your movie where it just cannot be denied the Oscar because of the subject matter. Yeah. Yeah. But it's not necessarily like a good movie. It's just got all of the elements that like voters are like, "Oh, I have to pick this or else I look like a ████ schmuck or like racist." Yeah. Or racist or something. Yeah. It's like pretty. But do people go, "Another slave movie." And I guess I have to pick it. Maybe should have won one of the Oscars. Which Which Avengers? Avengers. Avengers. Infinity War. Infinity War. Yeah. What's the best one? It's the best. Imagine, dude. That would never happen. I get why it would never be nominated. The Dark Knight actually should have won. Yeah, the Dark Knight should have won. Dark I agree. Yeah, Dark Knight was not like dumb, pretentious movies. Yeah. Well, that's like you're like Yeah, it'd be like It'd be like if you were at a ████ the Met Gala and some guy in a sick ass Supreme

15:56 jacket won, you know, which is what happens nowadays actually, right? Yeah, that's kind of what it is, right? Like that that's trending. It's like almost every major designer is like from the street industry. That's true. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I will say Parasite was was a good really parasite deserved. No, Parasite was dope. Could you Do you like Do you like sad movies that are war movies that are war movies? Yeah, cuz it's kind of like action sad. Clone survivor sad. Yeah. Or like um or like uh what's it called? Saving Private Ryan. Like that's Ryan. Never watching it again. You know what I mean? It's just so intense. That's what they always say about Oscar movies, right? It's like it's a one time watch. That's why when you look at the list of Oscar movies in the past, you're like, I've never seen most of them. Most of these. Yeah. Yeah. You never go, "Ooh, put on that Schindler's List again. Hit me. Hit me with that Fruitville veil station." Oh, I love that scene. The most rewatched

16:47 Oscar movie, I would guess, is Rocky by far. Oh, they won an Oscar also. They won. Holy ████ That is a rewatchable movie. I mean, everyone rewatches it. Uh, so is Titanic. That's the people's movie. Dude, you're not watching. Wait, how many times have you seen Titanic, though? Honestly, me and Nina probably watch it every like 2 years. Do you really? Yeah, I love that. I really like that. It's never It's never sit down, watch the whole thing. It's like turn it on before you sleep. Start getting it on 20 minutes. Getting it on when they get it on. Yeah. Absolutely. Let's try to come when they come, babe. They're singing. They're singing. Yo, what the ████ That's the synchronized cut. They only have sex twice a year, dude. Our movie that we put on every like couple every like month. Hey, real answer. Have you ever had sex while someone on the screen

17:39 is having sex? Yeah, probably. Yeah, I've had sex while Wolverine's going to ████ other people in a man. Yeah, he cut a guy's arm off. You ever have sex and then like get bored and start watching the movie? That happened to me with Viva Viva Labam. Wait, what? Viva Labam. You get more interested in the movie than you are in You're like Don Vito's hilarious while you're ████ Yeah. This one this one time Viva Lean came on I was like what the this is ████ funny. You put a crocodile in the kitchen. If a movie can get your partner a little bit like into it that's helpful once the credit scenes roll and it's just like talking about dogs there. Yeah. You don't have to do no work for it's nice. What's a what's a good movie for that? Like this lets the movie do all the work. I just What's a good movie that had that effect? Good babe. You're doing great. I
