Welcome back to another episode. Careful, boys. Uh we got Lawrence Cow with us today. Lawrence Cow. Um What the heck, Joe? That's double news, dude. It's not news. He's just That's double downs. Double down. Double down. Down syndrome, dude. Just looking at the camera. What is something that people can watch you in right now? That is different from the last time you were here because it's been a while. Yeah, it has been a while. Um,
0:52 there's a there's a movie called Ba Ba Ba. How you say that? Is it about goats? It's uh No. I would guess that uh it's spelled B A B About Father. It's a movie or series. It's a it's a movie. Oh, it's uh it's about uh Yeah. Bob means a father in Chinese. So I play like a you play like a dad. You're a dad? I know. It's crazy. But like how young is your kid? Uh like in the movie like probably around seven. That makes sense. Is this your first role as a dad? Yeah. Whoa. Oh, it's trippy, too, cuz you know, obviously I'm not a father. Don't play it down. Don't play it down cuz it's not like you own the movie or directed it. So, just talk about like how well it's done. It's a It's a It's a It's an indie film. So, but they did such a good job like making it look like, you know, um like we spent
1:43 a lot of money on it, but super indie. um sort of like a thriller kind of movie, but uh it's mainly about like the relationship between like me and my daughter, but there's like a a genre twist to it. A genre twist. Yeah. Where like um basically like I make a deal with like um the devil. Sort of like death where I become the grim reaper. So anything I touch um it die. They die. And so like I can't touch my daughter and throughout the movie it's like I just want to get close to her but like I can't I can't hug her or anything. Did you see that quote? Yeah. What did that say? They said Lawrence Cow's ████ breathtaking. Lawrence Cow's performance is noteworthy. Noteworthy is kind of a weird like why would you say noteworthy? That's like that's like hey I I I see
2:35 that. It's noticeable. Yeah. Yeah. Let me let me write it down. Let me write it down. Okay. So, you can't watch this movie without seeing Lawrence Cow's performance. It's there. Lawrence Cow is evident. Yeah, he exists. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's in the movie. He is him. Arman said that. That's what Who's Arman Film? I don't know. He could have He could have juiced it a little bit more for you, I think. Come on. What the heck, man? Yeah. Now that I read it, I'm like, what the ████ Lawrence Cow is in the movie. In the movie. It appears he was credited. So if you guys want to watch me in the movie, like I'm there. It can't be denied that. English may not be Armen's first language though. You know, maybe at first like he didn't know it was me and then he's like, "Oh, that's Lawrence." Yeah. Let me make a
3:26 note of that. It's that noteworthy guy. Yeah. But you can you could uh you could rent it or buy it on uh um Amazon or Apple TV right now. So it just came out. Oh yeah. This is I remember seeing you post a clip of this. This is what you look like. You're in like a Genesis fit. No, no, that was a different thing. The one where I shoot people, but you're like, "Oh, he's playing." Kids has gone bad. Ooh, here we go. San Francisco Chronicle. Heart a heart-wrenching thriller. That's a good one. That's a good one. That's nice. Better than noteworthy. Was playing it Arman Films getting bad. Yeah. Did was any part of this a stretch for you to play or was it like within your uh Q zone? I mean like I think I think at
4:16 first I was very apprehensive to do it because you know obviously playing a dad, you know, like I've never had a daughter, but um I think uh I think just really tapping into it and then the director, you know, he just gave me a bunch of like things to think about and you know, help me like that's cool. Dope. It still trips me out seeing you. This uh this went through a couple festivals. Yeah. Yeah. Went through a couple festivals. Um it was at the Austin Film Festival, which is pretty dope. Oh, dope. Um yeah, I mean I I just, you know, watch it. Damn, this is huge. Film. It's on Amazon. It's on Apple TV. You're the ████ lead star. Yeah, buddy. Legit. What was the What was the budget? A trillion dollars. Uh it was very low, but I don't know. Yeah, but low in Hollywood is like 10 million. No, no, no, no, no. Less than a million for
5:06 sure. Less than a million. That's great. They were able to make it. Yeah. It's hard too to make a ████ Do you ever have to say this line as as a dialogue? Uh, no. My daughter does, though. Oh, yeah. Baba, you go on any daddy daughter dates with her in the film? Uh, any what? Daddy daughter dates. Daddy daughter dates. Yeah. We have a guy here that just likes daddy daughter dates. Yeah. Yeah. I'll bring her next time and we get a good little daddy daughter. Yeah. Steve can't wait to have a daughter so he could take her out on dates and show her what a real man should treat her. A real example. Yeah. You never heard of the daddy daughter day show? No. You guys are creeps out there. Wait, what? What is this? So like there's a I guess there's a thing where fathers like in the real world actually like go out with their daughters and they call it daddy daughter days dates and they just do stuff together. They go to eat, go to the movies, I don't know, go to show, but they call it daddy dates and he
5:57 hates it. He thinks it's it's bad. I think I I think I kind of own this room on that. I think everyone kind of agree. People are the ones that invented that convince me a little bit more. You guys just want me to riff on it. You could go on a bro day. Yeah. How would you defend it? Just take your kid out. Don't call it a do daddy daughter date. Yeah. It's just like let's go grab dinner. Yeah. That's it. It's like, oh, hey, I'm going to lunch with my daughter. I'm not going on a date with my daughter. That's so weird. But then it's weird when you're going out with your your daddy daughter date and you're posting about it all the time. That's what makes that dads are trying to teach their daughters to have clear intentions so they don't just go, "Let's go out to eat." You got to call it what it is, a date. I saw this girl on Instagram. I saw this girl on Instagram. She's like, "When you get older and then like when you're at the restaurant with your dad, you got to kind of show that you're not a ████ hooker." Huh? What? That's right.
6:52 Show you're not a hook. Joe's algo strikes again, dude. I swear the stuff he finds is unbelievable. Double news, dude. She's all like, "Yeah, like when you're with the awkward feeling that whenever you're uh on out on having dinner with your dad and you're dressed up and then they they you got to make a point that you're the daughter, it's not a date, you know, cuz people think she's a Explanation got a lot harder. Try it again. Try it again. That was noteworthy. That was noteworthy. Wait, did you watch this already? I haven't yet. I missed the screening. I was out of time. I'm a bad friend. No. No. Right now, you can rent or buy it, but I'm going wait till it's free and then I'm uh Yeah. Well, doesn't go into a code discount code. Yeah. Yeah. What I really want you Yeah. I want to watch it with a bunch of friends. Come out uh free. Did you hear
7:43 what he just said? I looked at him and I said, "Let's watch it." And he responded, "You want to watch it with a bunch of friends?" Friends, not with you. Just co-orkers, though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not with you. Really friends. We could do coworker date me. Oh my god. We should all watch it in the Tesla. Let's go in the Tesla and watch it. You know, that would be fire. That be fun. Actually, I do want to watch this though. That's ████ crazy to see you. Like you're the main guy. Sick, dude. Congrats. No, they know. When did it come out? When did it come out?

The card did not go through, but that's okay. So, how did when you filmed this, were there any like interesting snags about it during the process or was it just like a clean work day every day? Like nothing was difficult? You didn't able to shoot a scene or nothing like that? I think I think it was difficult because like it was during the pandemic so everyone had to be masked up and everything. A lot of things. Yeah, we had to follow. I remember that. Yeah. So, you get royalties on it. If I buy an Apple TV right now, you get royalties. He gets half a set on the $3. I don't even know. I don't even know if I do. Let's call the manager. Let's call your

He's really good. He's really good. This is a f his first movie. So Oh ████ And he wanted to write it cuz he just had a daughter too. So like it sort of went hand in hand to like what he was dealing with like um when you read the script for the first time, was this like an automatic, yeah, I want to do it or were you kind of like how's this going to work out? No, it was like it was like a it's a good script and I was like ████ yeah, I wanted to do it. But then obviously it was like I don't I didn't think they were they would cast me cuz I
11:04 was just so young. Oh. So at first I was like young so stupid. That's your joke. I was like young because I was so young. Did you guys ever have to have to do anything like steal shots or anything like that? Like just run and gun and then get the ████ out of there before the cops came and ████ Trying to think. I mean, we did we did shoot a lot uh at night time like during during in downtown so it was easy to steal a bunch of shots. Like I'm not sure if we did have permits like was it during the BLM? Less than a million dollars. No, it was after that. It was after that. Yeah, buddy. Got That's an amazing question. Doing it during BLM.

Oh, are you like, "Hey, I could take my dick out if you guys want in the scene." And I don't want there's nudity for you. No, not for me. Oh, well that's true.

And we're just trying to survive. It all it's inside the brothel. Sounds kind of entertaining to be honest. So it's like hostile but it's brothel. What's the
15:24 name? It's called Unsaavory Elements but it's in Japan. Uh It's set. It's set in Asia. We don't specify where. Oh, but you're in the like San Francisco. Bing's in it, too. Bing. Bing.

There's like a implied sex scene but there's also like a scene where um a homiey's having a having a threesome. I don't want to give it away. Okay. Yeah, because it's a slasher. So
16:14 there's going to be a lot of blood. Like there's a lot of blood. It's very gory. Period blood. Do you make it for a while? I'm hoping you make it through. Dude, you know what I mean? I don't know. I don't know. The the tagline of the movie is there are no happy endings at this brothel. Like is this going to be That's pretty good. That's pretty good. It's going to be like we have a house party and then it's like Walking Dead and we're like, "Oh, that was it." Oh, okay. He's just walking around the brothel. Noteworthy.

I was like, "Should I do a movie like this?" cuz it's like super What did your uh It's very porny. What did your manager say about it? Um
17:55 no, like no really any any opinions. They were just like, "Do you want to do it?" I'm like, "Yeah, Lawrence, baby, baby, you got to do it. You got to do it. Got to do it on my table, Lauren.
