it's weird being in the seat yeah man it's weird having you in the seat man it's
exciting i know you
um so for some of our listeners that don't know gianni is a uh an actor and gianni
just hit up the
podcast like maybe what a year ago and just said hey man i like the podcast
yeah i think through burn
like burn oh that's right so i filmed the movie in mississippi kind of where
theo like grew up a
little bit yeah and um and then i just remember talking because i always talk
about comedy like i
love it yeah i was listening to the podcast on set like uh while before like i
would go and film my
scenes i'd be listening to this past weekend and one of the pas came up to me
um my friend jared
and he knocked on the door and he's like are you listening to theo and i was
like yeah dude like
i love theo and he's like oh like burned like the guys that smooths down there
like they all know
theo and i was like really so we filmed the movie whatever and then afterwards
like um and no one
knows who burn is yeah burn is the drummer in uh bishop gunn whose dad i used
to work on his farm
in the summertime up in mississippi so so he was working as a pa or as a
transport or something on
the movie that you filmed correct in in mississippi yeah and then so so you ran
into one of his buddies
and he's like oh burn knows him yeah and then that's how it all came to pass
yeah and then i was
like i'd love to help you know help the podcast i love it i listen to it you
know and you know i do
social media stuff so that's kind of how we all linked up and then yeah the
rest is history that's
it we've been together for a year and a year dude and uh so first i want to
talk about the movie so
the movie is octavia spencer is the lead of the movie yes is that a safe term
yeah yeah okay she's
like the main lead okay and so and so the movie is called ma and it comes out
uh may 31st so this is
going to air may 30th so tomorrow it comes out okay yeah wow so the movie comes
out tomorrow and
let's stop real quick so we got a bunch of white kids going to drink in a black
woman's basement
correct correct basically yeah okay yeah we have one one uh there's another african-american
with us
okay so and is there any like is any of the movies that like a is there racial
stuff in the movie or
not really not so much um towards the end there's like uh you will see it in
the trailer there it does
um touch on it a little bit but it's not right it really has nothing to do with
like the film in that
sense like it's just more like uh yeah like a black woman can be a serial
killer too you know what i
mean oh really yeah you just give away the whole movie no no i'm just saying
like like it's possible
for a black woman to be like a villain you know i mean i didn't mean she's oh i
see what you're
saying oh yeah i guess that's true huh they don't have like a lot well i guess
even just growing up
they didn't have like a lot of black characters in in a lot of movies i'm
trying to think of
like a black villain that they had yeah gray skull remember that guy from he-man
well see what i find
interesting is like i like would look in the internet and people like um would
get upset that they'd be
like well why is the african-american the villain yeah like no that's like the
total opposite of like
what octavia wants like she wants to be the villain yeah she wants to everyone
can play every role like
there's not like a she doesn't have to play a nurse or a maid in every movie
right of course yeah and
there's always black like there's this thing out there that's just black anger
like anytime a black
person like open like breathe somebody's like oh why do they have to breathe
you know yeah like a black
person like oh they have to breathe in the same planet as white people you know
um so sometimes you
just get that black anger out there was it intimidating because this is your
first like
lead uh so so you're one of the what do you play in the film so i play chaz he
is a it's one of the
teens where we party with octavia and um it's just like a high school kid there's
five of us and
yeah and we meet octavia and she starts buying us booze and alcohol and we're
is it real booze when
you're on the movie no it's just water oh yeah so what do you have to pretend
to be drunk yeah you
have to like you have like also there's also a scene there's a clip of it in on
the instagram um
where i like drink the the water and i go oh and i'm like it's just literally
water but you have to
like i guess play it as if it was yeah but the worst part was the fucking
joints like because i smoked
the whole movie in pretty much every scene and i'm smoking the joints and it's
like fake tobacco
so you're like i'm waking up my lungs are fried because i'm smoking it for like
four hours right
you're still smoking yeah but it's not even real tobacco would you have rather
have been just regular
tobacco i would have rather it have been like maybe like like like vape juice
or like something like
that like not because they would roll joints like that like i would rather have
just vape the whole
movie instead of like just legit like because you're still smoking like the spliffs
is that what
they call them like the horse legs boy yeah big johnson boy yeah dude of course
gianni's name is
chaz in the movie yeah that was the most twink name ever all my names have been
brayden and power
chaz uh brian uh i forgot there was brayden and chaz yeah dude those are such i
feel like those are
like white slave names i feel like you're gonna get me in trouble dude no i'm
sorry do you just
whipping gianni my name is gianni paolo sure it is you don't have an identity
boy your name is randall
yeah and you're russian a fraternity i um so you get put into a lot of roles i
know you've said this
um and so also so just to clarify so also johnny's done all the booking johnny
camon has done all the
booking for almost all the guests that we've had really or reached out to him i've
gotten a couple
hitters but yeah for the most part for the most part nick does help a lot name
we got a good thing
going yeah no you guys have been great man and you guys put up with me a lot of
times which i know
isn't easy especially over text message and name five guests that we've tried
to get that we haven't
gotten that people love that they really want danny mcbride who i've tried a
lot um recently uh chris
pratt he's busy i'm just trying to think of like the ones more recent um like
anna faris like people
who also have podcasts dax shepherd right like those are the people who i have
reached out to just because
they're kind of in that world and it's realistic okay um i'm trying to boozy
little boozy little boozy
little boozy we tried him yeah we tried him pretty much in the group everyone
who's been like we
really want him i'm like i tried him three months ago i tried him last week amanda
knox amanda knox
we tried her a lot um so yeah we try like we nor mcdonald we should kill her
roommate that would get
her in here sorry dude that's messed up and that's a joke if anybody's
roommates ever died yeah um
so we found almost dead not like are we strategic about it what's it like to
reach out to somebody and
and because you do that you know it's like what's that like um i don't mind it
just because
it's publicist so it's like they're people like i don't have chris pratt's
email you know i mean
i would like to i bet it's chris pratt at gmail yeah so i just read that to
publicist and i'm like
listen well see i was talking to nick about this before you came in uh-huh it
kind of upsets me
the whole like what's going on now because a lot of people to go and promote
movies they're going on
kimmel they're going on like like weird cable like cooking shows and to promote
things the generic way
that it's always been done right and that's not the way people are listening
anymore right they don't
get the views anymore it's podcasts it's joe rogan it's you it's tiger belly
like those are the ones
that that's what's getting the listens from the millennials and that's what
this movie's about which
is why i've been going on podcasts to promote it's like i mean i wouldn't go on
kimmel anyways because
i'm not big enough but like this is it this is like what the studios have to
realize like this is
where people are gonna you know go to and it's a full-length thing yeah like if
they're listening
to a clip on jimmy kimmel and they're talking about zach efron you know his
dick came out in a movie
scene or something like that who was on a plane with me a week ago he walked by
three times dude dude i
love him i mean like in like a straight way he kept trying to pretend he was
all tired when he was
walking by every time really yeah was he in first class with you i was like you
can't be that tired
and walk up in the aisle three times just yawning and stretch yeah like he did
like seven fake yawns
like he was almost a cheerleader by the end of it where was he coming from like
where was this when
you went to new york to new york yeah nice but so was it did you send yourself
an email to get booked
on here then yeah i did i sent myself a confirmation yeah that's good weeks
without a reply too yeah yeah
weeks without a reply who was the one that gianni we missed him because gianni
dropped the ball
who was it callen yeah but but i didn't drop the ball it was brian callen yeah
because he pretended
he never had the ball he knew brian knew that he was coming on this past
weekend but it conflicted
with rogan yeah so like they're right across the wall so i assume they're gonna
do their episode
and then just come he's gonna walk in here after because i confirmed with him
like a week before this
yeah and then he he went on rogan so he's like oh you forgot forgot about deal
but you went on rogan
okay yeah i think if you hear the word rogan you just forget about everything
but i don't i don't
blame him it's like i'm gonna go to rogan i'm gonna go to danny's over here
where these guys are fucking
shoveling bootleg cbd oil
that's mint flavored um shout out uncommon apothecary yeah shout out uncommon
apothecary
uh well dude first of all i just want to say thanks so much man and second of
all yeah it's crazy it's
almost like we backdoored ourselves into a guest uh with gianni you know um so
we yeah i worked for
uh 52 weeks just to get on this podcast for free with one me undies a month
okay i got one pair
they're supposed to send you which i'm wearing right now are you really oh wow
yeah those are
good ones yeah i'm telling you i've really adapted to these mediums he's not
they're not showing up
for gianni yeah dude i didn't get my main fucking thing you know you ordered
mediums yeah i don't
know what happened man we'll check some of these boxes um but we definitely
should get you some more
pairs um so when you're shooting the film like how long does it take to shoot
to shoot a movie like
for somebody that doesn't know like me this took about um i'd say four weeks
and then we that's it
yeah and then we because it's a blumhouse film so they do like smaller budgets
um you know not as
you know big and crazy as like the action movies those probably take like three
four months right
um yeah this was
