RICHARD KIND Talks Coen Brothers, Death, And George Clooney

Since I did Serious Man, I get offered every Jewish role.
Isn't that just so offensive?
It's not that offensive. I don't blame them.
So we're not going to do that next pitch that I have for you.
It's not a very inspirational.
It's about the first Jew who died in the Holocaust.
Oh, that's funny.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's like, "Come on! It's one Jew!"
No, he's like in line.
It's like one Jew.
He's like in line for the trade.
I think it's a good idea.
I think it's a good idea.

My guest this week is beloved character actor Richard Kind.
Of course, he's known for his roles in projects such as Serious Man, Sharknado
2, the list goes on and on.
He's the kind of actor where every time he appears on the screen, he just makes
you smile.
You feel like you've run into an old friend or something.
Kind of like when you see, uh, uh, what's her name?
Uh, uh, uh, fucking, what's the redhead from Boogie Nights?
Julianne Moore.
Kind of like when you see Julianne Moore's Tiz.
Now, during the research process, I try to find some commonality between me and
the guest.
And I'll be honest with you guys, this one had me stumped.
Like, what could I possibly have in common with character actor Richard Kind?
As many of you know, I'm an outsider in the traditional media complex.
People have described me as a punk rocker or a disruptor.
I don't know what that means.
But Richard Kind could not be further from my world.
He's a Hollywood mainstay.
He's entrenched in the establishment, the studio system.
And he's been there for decades.
He's, he's bedded some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood famously.
And I prefer to keep my sexuality a secret.
Kind of like Pedro Pascal.
I enjoy spending my time with my staff here at the Adam Friedland Show.
Meanwhile, Richard is someone who rubs shoulders with A-listers.
His best friend is George Clooney.
And his second best friend is George Clooney's wife.
But despite the circumstances, this was one of the most intriguing and
inspiring conversations
of my life.
Two strangers.
From two different worlds.
Who through the power of dialogue, find that we're all just human.
We live in divided times.
Most Americans prefer binging on streaming services.
Instead of helping a neighbor who's being beaten to death.
So after the end credits theme song plays in this episode,
and you're sitting there in your living room, go out of your house.
Go up to a stranger.
Any stranger.
Don't be afraid.
No matter who it is.
And say hello.
I think you're going to like what happens next.
So with that, my interview with Richard Kind, guys.
Enjoy it.
He's Jewish also.
Oh.
He's also Jewish.
You are so right.
Yeah.
Well.
Should we leave the Julianne Moore part?
I think it's fine.

"I was 15 minutes late."
Sit down, sit down, everybody, sit down.
The band sounds great.
Oh, my gosh.
No, we pipe them in.
We have Kool and the Gang, actually.
Is that true?
Live via satellite.
Nice!
Yeah, yeah.
They play a different song.
It's incredibly expensive.
Love it.
Thank you for coming.
My pleasure to be here.
I acknowledge I was 15 minutes late.
But why?
My dog ate some shit.
Oh, that's the worst.
I just heard last night, I'm walking on the street, and two beautiful dogs, and
lovely,
lovely woman.
I wouldn't call them that.
What?
The woman was not a dog.
The two dogs were dogs.
Oh, okay.
Alright, come on.
I'm not describing one of the dogs ate a towel.
And they sit at home together, and she has a camera, and she watches the dogs
during the
day while she's at work.
They don't play with each other, and they're brother and sister.
Oh, my God.
Isn't that sort of fascinating?
Oh, my word.
You want to hear something beautiful?
Go ahead.
Okay.
My dog, she's a real piece of crap.
I got her off the streets.
Great.
No, the best.
I rescued her.
Oh.
She's a pit bull.
She's from Bedford, Stuyvesant.
Oh, now I have to like you.
Yeah, I'm a good guy.
I'm a really good guy.
Her name's Isis, which was difficult.
I call her Icy, because I can't be at the dog park.
I can't be like I'm training with Isis, you know, like, okay, of course.
So, Isis, I, first of all, Isis has been shitting all night in the house.
It's like I have a newborn or something.
Yeah.
She's sick.
She's sick right now.
Okay.
So, yeah, I haven't gotten any sleep.
And, you know, she's a big fan, too.
She would be, it would break her heart if she knew.
What's her favorite thing I've done?
Go ahead.
Okay, I'm kidding.
Go ahead.
Talk about the dog.
We gotta hurry.
We gotta hurry.
In general, smelling piss is her favorite thing.
But, yeah.
She can't get enough of it, actually.
I wish I liked anything that much.
So, what's the diagnosis?
So, I don't know.
She, they just gave her some antibiotics or something and I'm feeding her right.
Okay, let me ask a couple of questions.
How long ago did you find her?
I found her now, I think 10 years ago.
Okay.
So, she was a depressed woman.
Okay.
She, and some guy was like, I was just breeding her at my grandmother's house.
She has nowhere to live.
And her like nipples were distended because she was a breeder dog for like
fight dogs, right?
She was miserable.
She was depressed.
She was like, and she was sad.
And when I got her, and then she got in a big, huge street fight.
When I, like within a week of me getting her.
And I'd never had a dog before.
And I, listen, I'm like the definition of a gentrifier.
Like I'm like a, like a Jewish guy with like, it's like 150 pounds wet with
like a murder machine on like on a leash.
Right.
And so she gets in this terrible fight with this other pit bull.
Oh, with another pit bull.
And then this, this bagger Vance shows up, this ghost.
And he said, you want to get the dogs to stop fighting?
And he's like, you got to put a stick up their ass.
And then, so I put it, I was putting a stick up my dog's ass.
Hold on, hold on.
Wait, wait.
Are you serious?
A stick up the ass.
A stick up the ass.
Well, it'll get anyone to stop fighting.
Really.
I understand.
But there's, there's a, an expression.
Put a stick up their ass.
And then there's the reality of sticking a stick up their ass.
I literally, I, I, I couldn't find a stick.
So I ended up putting, full disclosure, I ended up putting, I'm not, I'm no kink,
kinky guy.
But I put my, I put my finger.
And then she released immediately.
Anyway.
So terrible dog.
But she's been, she loves.
Okay.
We're walking.
We're walking down the street.
We see a boy dog.
This is like a year ago.
A doppelganger.
Exactly.
Looks exactly like her.
And I said, oh my God, they could be twins.
My dog starts jumping up, spinning, jumping up, spinning, jumping up, spinning.
The, the boy dog's like bored.
He doesn't care.
I say, oh yeah, you know, like she's a Brooklyn dog.
I got her on like, you know, on green, uh, between like Malcolm X and I forgot
the other
cross street.
And he said, oh, this dog's from that same block.
I said, how old is he?
How old is he?
And they said, uh, he's nine.
And I said, she's 10.
And so in my, I think she met her son.
That's crazy.
I cried.
I started weeping.
But there's so many.
I started weeping on the streets.
And I'll go back to another part of the story is the amount of legal damage
that could have
been thrust upon you, much less physical damage, much less physical damage to
you to physical
damage to somebody else with a dog like that.
Like you say, it's a killing machine.
It's the, it was, she was still in survival mode.
I mean, I've, I heard a story about somebody walking their dog on the, uh, in
the Hamptons
and the dog attacked the other dog, killed it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's classic Hamptons for you.
Isn't it though?
Yeah.
I mean, they're just, maybe, maybe.
The Hamptons is ruthless.
Maybe in West Hampton, you know.
Maybe.
I don't even consider that the Hamptons, you know.
I call it worst Hampton.
Okay.
We're sorry.
Our audience is penniless and, uh, alone.
So I don't know if that's a good place to start.
Well, stick a finger up their ass.
I'll stick a finger up the ass.
I'll stick a finger up the ass of all your audience.
Um, yeah.
I was, it's funny because, uh, there is that legendary story starts talking.
Speaking of, uh, crapping and animals.
There's the legendary, you were roommates with, uh, Mr. George Clooney.
Yeah.
I'm sure you're asked about this all the time.
All the time.
Let's not ask about it now.
Okay.
No, I'm going to stop.
I'll stop.
I'm going to tell you a couple of things.
So George Clooney took a shit on your dog.
That's correct.
Yeah, that's the story.
Um, I will tell you, I get asked.
My joke is that, uh, under special skills on my resume, I have a friend of
George Clooney.
People, more people ask about George than they ask about me.
I didn't mean to.
I know you don't mean to.
I thought it was the proximity of the animal trapping story.
This is how, let me just say, this is how improvised and fresh this is.
We didn't even pre-interview.
So he doesn't know.
Don't ask a lot about George because, I'm going to tell you why, it's cause he
gets asked
about by me a lot, number one.
Number two, I talk and I talk and I talk and I talk.
And I might say something that may be interpreted as negative about George, and
you know what,
just recently I was misquoted in New Yorker magazine and in the notes, they had
like an
interview, a fact checking thing.
I cleared it up and still it was printed incorrectly.
I read that.
You said that George Clooney wants China to invade Taiwan, didn't you?
Yeah.
Why would you say that?
This is why I don't like to talk about it.
You should check with your friend.
They misunderstand.
Why would you say that?
People misunderstand.
That's a huge global.
That's a global.
I know.
It's a wrong decision.
And his wife's at the UN.
I mean, it's just crazy.
What do you think you're doing?
Yeah.
Okay.
And anything we'll say could be taken by the New York Post.
So I don't like to talk about George.
And yet, as stories go on, I always bring them up.
But I'm not going to, I try not to.
You also said that George Clooney said that on January 6th they should have
finished the
job?
Why are you going there?
I
