Do you see Shane Gillis sometimes? Have you seen him?
Oh, yeah. I love Shane.
Have you gotten to meet him or no?
I have. Yeah, we helped him produce Tires, his show he does for Netflix.
You helped him produce it?
Yeah, yeah.
I didn't even know that.
Yeah, because it's so funny that I think there's times when I see him and I'm
like,
oh, there's something about him that it's not just you, but there's something
about the way he is.
He's himself. He's himself, you know, not polished and just kind of shooting
from the hip, you know?
That's good. I think people respond to it. I think they like seeing that.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He's a special guy. And he's just like one look. He's like,
yep. And you're in, dude.
Yeah, he makes me laugh.
He does, man. He makes everybody laugh. It's good. And it's cool to see him.
Like Tires was kind of a comedy that I think kind of changed things because
there's jokes in there
that I feel like they wouldn't put on Netflix 10 years ago or even five years
ago.
Yeah. And now it's changing. Do you feel some of that?
You know, I feel like this we've always tried to push it in everything that we've
done.
And, you know, I know people are like, oh, you can't make comedies about this,
that anymore.
But, you know, even when we made Eastbound and Down, it wasn't like they were
asking for that.
It wasn't like people were like, we need like a racist baseball player that cusses
at kids and does cocaine.
There wasn't like an ad in the trades for it.
You know, I think that you come in, you make something funny, and then that's
what, you know, that starts new trends.
That makes people gravitate towards it.
I think that obviously you see people getting in trouble for saying fucked up
shit.
But I also, like, I feel like it's very rarely do you see people get in trouble
for actually like making something that is, you know, I think people get in
trouble sometimes rightfully so for saying bad shit.
But I mean, I mean, I can't really think of where people really get in trouble
for like making something that pushes the lines.
I mean, maybe I'm like forgetting things, but I kind of feel like a lot of
times people just want their ass to be kissed.
And I think when you make something that pushes the boundaries, everyone's not
going to kiss your ass.
People will get upset about it.
And you have to be cool with that being part of what goes with pushing the
boundaries is that those boundaries are going to sometimes push back on you.
And that's just part of the deal.
Yeah, I almost really when you're saying that, it makes me feel like it like if
you tweet something, you're just saying something, you're looking for
controversy.
It's like, yeah, but if you go out and make like put out a conversation of
something, then the response from people is different.
It is tweet people just argue there's all type of shit, but you go and actually
put a conversation out.
Then it is more of like discussion and people at least respect that you had the
conversation.
I think so.
I think that's what it is.
I mean, obviously you can be judged on whether it's good or not, but that's a
different thing than whether if you're just putting something out there that's
problematic and people get mad about it.
I mean, it feels like that's honestly what you're asking for, right?
When people put something out there that's controversial, it's made to have
people start fighting, right?
Isn't that part of how the whole thing works?
I think so.
Yeah, Shane just did SNL.
Did you get to see any of it?
I did.
I saw a couple beers.
That's pretty funny shit.
That whole beer was good, dude.
I need a couple beers in my personal life.
I think I will fix a lot of things.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I fucking used to overdose over there in Charleston, especially on
Halloween.
Dude, one year I made out with three ladybugs, dude.
Oh, just the creatures, the ladybugs, the actual insects?
People dressed as them.
Oh, perfect.
And then you wet the bed and went sailing after that?
Perfect.
That's a perfect night out in Charleston.
That's the Charleston decathlon right there, dude.
