She likes oatmeal that much? No. There's an ongoing joke where she when she was a kid, the her parents would uh take her to the doctor cuz they were worried that the only thing she wanted to eat was oatmeal. They were like, "Something's wrong with her." So, just like But that was just a parenting issue. Yeah, it was a parenting thing. So, now I'm I'm going to bring her back. I'm going to bring her back to her roots a
6:46 little bit. More of her oatmeal all the time. Make her addicted again? Yeah, just get her hooked on the stuff. on on the sauce. And a little movie theater, too. Oh, yeah. Movie theater? Movie theater. Nikki wouldn't use it. Nikki doesn't watch no movies. But like, not like uncomfortable chairs. Like, it's got to be very loungy. It would be like Smack make a movie theater and she would just watch Love Island or some ████ Nikki. There it is. That's fine. It's just more for like the experience. They don't watch movies? Nikki was never raised with movies. She was raised with TV, mostly. Whereas I was raised with my hella movies. Yeah, but there's both on TV. Yeah, true. But she just never got into movies as much. That's why she don't pay attention all the time. You know, people that watch more TV They don't pay attention the whole way through the show. To like the last 10 minutes. But movie people are like, "I'm locked in."
7:36 I feel like people who don't pay attention in TVs in general is cuz they know they can always go back to it or they know more episodes are coming up. It's not like a really rushed to make sure you got to watch it. That's just how they receive the data. It's just different style. It has to be a particular type of garbage to keep Nikki's attention on. Well, I view it the same way, intensely, whether it's 90-day fiance or a world ████ award-winning movie. I'm just locked in. Dialed in. And then, you never watch it again. Yep. Then he forgets it. so focused, I remember everything. So good that like 3 years later, I watch the same movie and I'm like, "I've seen this ████ before." It feels so familiar. Yeah, but you remember everything. Dude, I've done that. Yeah. Yeah. We watched um Game of Thrones. Yeah. The the dragon
8:26 one. The House of the Dragon. The dragon. And for the first season, me and Hannah were like, "I swear to God, I watched this already." And she goes, "Are you sure?" And I'm like, "Yeah, we watched this in Vegas." And I'm like, "Because why would it say play like someone watched it?" And she goes, "Cuz it's my mom's account." And I'm like, "But I swear she doesn't watch this." And so, we watched the whole first season and then, we're like, "Oh, yeah, we Well, she did watch it in Vegas, but she thought that I didn't watch it." But I was watching it on the bed with her with my side eye. The side of my eye was watching her watch it. You were like dead You're doing double you're double losing. I was double losing with the phone. Yep. And then, I remember scenes cuz it would catch my attention, be like, "What's happening?" And she goes, "Okay, so this is what happened." I'm like, "That's sick." And
9:16 I would go back to my phone. be fun to watch stuff with. Yeah. Did you ever have that thing where like I don't know if you've seen that meme where it's like called dad watching? Have you seen that thing where like Did you grow up with this where you're watching a movie, right? By yourself and your dad walks by and just kind of stands stands there and starts looking at it from the side. Why do they do that? And then, he just stays there forever watching the whole thing. They just stand there. Like, just sit the ████ down, dad. And you like ask your dad like, "Dad, you want to just watch it?" And he's like, "No, no, no." And he walks away. And then, he comes back and just kind of looking at it. Such a phenomenon, yeah. Dad watching. You going to become like that cuz that's a phenomenon. Maybe. You know what my dad does for dad watching? If he's watching a basketball game, he's fast forwarding like 90% of the time. The game? He just dude just the game just the game and he was just like watch a couple bits and he's like Fast forward he'll watch a movie this
10:06 ████ he might get in trouble for this but it's okay. He's not part of the academy anymore but he would vote on the academy films. This ████ would be watching these movies and fast forward. I knew it. And he'd be like Wait what do you mean academy films? At least he watches it I don't even think half of these ████ watch it. he's part of the academy that votes who gets the award. Yeah and he's Which awards? THE ACADEMY AWARDS. OH. SO HE'S HE'LL FAST forward and I'll be like and I'll be like dad you're not even watching the movie. And he's like I get it. I get it. He's like the sick it's okay you know like every movie he's like ah that movie's a piece of ████ He just and he just like 3x the whole time. Bro I got to meet your dad I got to meet your dad cuz I'd be doing that. Yeah see? I'd be I'd be watching half the movie and he's like yeah. I'd be watching half the movie and he's like dude I got to go in 20 minutes and just skip the ████ movie. You couldn't watch movies with my pops cuz
10:56 he would just be like Really? If a movie sucks that much I just turn it off. Yeah no it's not like I can't skip through yeah. For me it doesn't suck it's just okay what the ████ is going to happen at the end cuz I got to go regardless. I can legitimately say I've never done that in my life. I've never done that either. Ever I just watch it later. Yeah. Like if I got to go I pause it watch it later come back. I'm like what if you miss something? I can't You're about to miss What happens at the end doesn't mean anything. Exactly. Great. I was like that's why you don't like it. Dirty. Hey you didn't put the work in. You know what this guy's got to vote on the academy awards I mean he's got to watch like what is it best picture now is like eight movies now? Dude. He he hasn't done it he didn't do it for this last cycle or the past couple years. Cuz he's not in anymore? That's why I like the way SAG does it for their for the SAG awards they they make screeners for people like you got to go to events to watch them. Oh yeah.
11:47 So that way it's more fun rather than they're not just going to send you 10,000 discs. It's an event. Yeah it's like you go and then the actors in the movie are always there they're sometimes the first time they're seeing it. Oh sure. And then they do a Q&A and it's actually like really fun. My buddy she The helps do the Sundance stuff. Oh. Like who gets in Sundance ████ And but she's a goody two shoes so she's sitting there watching every student film and she's just making herself do it. Yeah I thought I heard Sundance was ████ rigged. Oh I think I I think no comment. I'm just saying. It's not though. Hey tell her to put tell her to put a good word for my homie's movie in Sundance okay? What's it called? Um Not too much of a spoiler. Uh just send it in it's called Jacinda dude. Jacinda? Jacinda. The ████ spell it. Prime Minister of New Zealand. Dude make sure you get an F on that one F on that one. Oh it's in they just did Sundance. They
12:37 just did it on January. I was going to take credit I was going to give me a steak. Can can I tell you a very can I tell you a very brief sad story that'll make you like fire up cuz you hate this type of ████ There was a viral video about this one guy who and he was explaining why he hates SAG-AFTRA. And he what happened was when he was a student he was like a poor college student I think at USC or UCLA and for his film class he made a like they had to make a movie obviously just on no budget just a bunch of kids. And then he entered it in a contest at school and the prize was that they're going to play it on like an A&E like channel or something and they're going to play your little film on TV. Yeah that's right yeah cool. So what happened is he won the prize they just played his short film on the TV and then SAG-AFTRA contacted him and said because it went on TV no he's not disqualified he had to pay everybody in
13:27 the movie thousands of dollars or else he's going to get sued. What? out of here bro. coming after him he's just a kid. Yeah so he had to They threw the book at him. Yeah and then and then he tried to explain it with that he had won a school contest and that's how it ended up there they didn't give a ████ and the school the actual like I guess like dean or whatever had to contact the network and apologize and do this formal thing for them to finally lay off. Oh my wow. They were going to make and this he was just a regular like freshman in college. don't want to hear anything that happens sometimes is like if your ████ got on TV or was played in a theater somewhere or or was played somewhere Yeah. before the academy awards you're disqualified. So almost every year you hear about some guy who got nominated and then they get DQ'd because of some technicality ████ like that yeah. Oh man that
14:18 sucks. It's wild dude there was a documentary guy who finally he's been making movies for years he finally got his ████ nominated and then he got DQ'd because of that. How sad dude. I know. Damn that's why people hate Hollywood more and more. It's like my new ████ that nobody cares about like not one soul cares about that like what does that even help? Like what's the they're like you're a scab you're you did this without the academy all Scab the scab actually is just stupid. That's all it is right? I had to pay my dues man what the ████ I didn't even I didn't even work. You want me to pay dues? Huh? How much is it? Ours is expensive. It's expensive now. No I had to pay my dues because of my residuals I got was like such a certain amount and they're like oh you owe. What if the dues are more than a residual? to pay dues no matter Yeah no matter what if you're in SAG you have to pay
15:08 dues. What but then it's just like I didn't pay it for 2 years so it's like 14 and then next thing you know and this last year they asked me to pay it again and it ended up becoming 6,900 and and then uh to work the job couple weeks from now they're just like yo you can't even work till you pay your dues. Yo. So I was just like all right bet I guess we'll pay it. My buddy Sam the guy who just they got they pulled the plug on him or whatever he he asked me a couple years ago he's like you want to come do this pilot short movie and I was like yeah absolutely and then he told me it was a SAG movie and I was like I can't dude they've been hunting me for years I'm not going to not about to give them what they want. Like cuz cuz cuz like if you appear in two minute too much ████ Yeah they're going to make you Yeah really? They're going to say you must join. Yeah I was I was a must join and I refused to pay them. 3,300 now but I don't know how much it was back in the day. Wait they force you to join if you
15:59 did too many industry gigs? You can't just be a free agent? Nah hey there's a hack though. Yeah I mean unless you want to just stay non-union which at that point you're not making much There's a hack but it it mildly blacklists you a little bit it's called Fi-Core. Ever heard of it? No I've heard of it I forget what it is. It's an in-between so like it makes you eligible to do SAG work and non-union at the same time you can do both. But then you get blacklisted from SAG. But then they don't like it and they and then what happens is right before you join Fi-Core let's say you've made the decision I would like to join Fi-Core SAG gets one chance to talk you out of it. It's serious. You have one shot. Like 10 years ago if you were being Tuberscum like me they they would like they were they would get weird about you being in non-union ████ if you're SAG so like it just wasn't worth it to join. They they hate Fi-Core so much. Non-union. If you'll they'll come at you. You cannot
16:49 do non-union if you are SAG. So I just never wanted to give up being Tuberscum. All right you can do non-union all day if you're eligible and you just never join which a lot of people do. I had some clients that were actors and they were in SAG and they would they would do like CSI or some ████ and they said they wouldn't even get their pay for like a year after their gig and they said it was like a SAG issue that they couldn't get their pay. Not just SAG brothers. As a writer man I took me a one one and a half years one time to get paid. Crazy. Damn but SAG now is insanely fast like immediately once you once you work bro the week after the week after that you must be paid or else it's going to be fee on top of your check. Wow. Still a joke though I think like Smack has seen so many injustices on set where she's like you can't do that because of SAG and then they asked you like if something happens you should tell SAG that this happened and that they're not
17:40 allowed to do that and they'll come in and and like fix it and they don't do ████ they don't even pick up. Doesn't matter you could tell them like oh they made me work this much hours they didn't give us a lunch they did this I will push back there are some people who really do do stuff. Yeah but it's it's by like how important you are. Exactly that is very true how much how much leverage and pull you have with the SAG representative for them to do something about it. Like who am I I'm Robert De Niro's cousin and it's like you already have them. They already have them. I'm Roger De Niro. Roger. But I feel like if you're a background and you call and say I just got sexually harassed and they say what's your position background okay shut the ████ up and get the money. No you say I was sexually harassed and they go really you sound like a guy. It's impossible. Sure. And you're like I was on a Bryan Singer movie they're like oh yeah let me
18:30 forward you let me forward you. Oh yeah we already heard about that.
