📄 Transcript [show]
You guys up for a toga party?
Toga!
Toga!
Hey, everybody, it's the Rat Party.
All right.
How's everybody doing tonight?
Never better.
Are you asking us or them?
Everybody.
I'm asking everybody out there.
Can you hear?
That music is from Jeff Fiorentino at jfrocks.com.
He did the music for the call sheet, and we're glad to have him back playing the tunes for us.
Jeff, you can go home now.
We're good, man.
Thank you.
Our show tonight and for the rest of the month, which is next week, is brought to you by our friends at beyondthemarquee.com.
They were kind enough to pay the $100,000 per episode.
Amazing fees.
To bring us here.
I did not.
I was wondering where the paymaster was, so I'm glad I know.
Beyond the Marquee.
Beyond the Marquee.
The car service we sent got lost.
Yeah.
Sorry, Dan.
We went a little late because the car service didn't pick up our guests.
We won't get to.
So thank you, Beyond the Marquee, M-A-R-Q-U-E-E, for those of you who don't have the hooked on phonics.
With the dot com.
Joining me tonight is from Universal Studios Hollywood.
He's a big wig over there.
Yes.
He was also not seen in the movie Holes.
Correct.
Ladies and gentlemen, Robert Armour.
Thank you, John.
He's with us.
Excited to be back.
How was everything over there at Universal, Robert?
You know, it's okay.
You know, still, I'm working on Transfer and all that good stuff, so we'll see.
Transfer?
Transfer.
Well, we talked about it last week.
Oh, Transfer.
Oh, you might be a tour guide.
Right, yeah.
Because you're not going to be a big wig anymore.
You're going to be an actor on a tram.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll be doing both.
I'll be doing big wig work.
You can fire people literally mid-route.
Mid-route.
You're fired.
You're fired.
I can do that.
I will be able to do that.
All right.
Also with us tonight, the lovely and the talented, we love him to death, Peter Miller.
Hey, I love him.
He's with us.
How you doing, man?
You have never been better, man.
It's always great to be on the big show with you.
Yeah.
And I know we're ready to rock this party.
What are you wearing tonight?
You're wearing like a striped shirt.
You look like a sailor mate.
I might be, you know.
I've got my nice black and white stripes on.
I think it does me well.
We're very close to Pershing Square.
He can go do some mime work.
You do look like a mime.
Let's go make some money.
That's right.
You've been a very sensitive subject in my life about miming.
Steve couldn't keep...
I've been banned from the agency.
I remember...
Peter.
I remember your stage show.
Your...
Steve's.
Yours, mime, and ours.
It was fantastic.
It lasted all about six minutes.
Yeah.
Well, they don't like mime smoking or raspy voices, so I guess that job didn't last that Who the hell can hear them?
Well, they...
He's there.
It's Peter.
Peter, the worst mime ever.
I'm in a box.
I can't get out of this box.
They never could understand where I was.
I had to explain it because they always say in comedy, always best to explain the joke.
Sure.
Absolutely.
An explaining mime.
It's a rope.
It's a rope.
Don't you get it?
No, that's just...
That's just...
That's just a penis.
Pretty sure that mime's penis.
I had to say...
We get a quarter every time we say penis.
Going back to why I was kicked out of the mime agency.
With us also tonight, Allison is at Coachella.
Stephanie couldn't afford Coachella.
Stephanie could afford the bottle of rum she's consuming right now.
She's back in action.
Stephanie.
Hello.
Nice to be back.
Nice to be back.
Can we get the sound of the bottle pouring into the cup, Stephanie?
Oh, my God.
I don't know if you can hear it.
Oh, boy.
Oh, we got that.
Wow.
Did you hear that?
We got that.
That was fun.
Hey, Stephanie, can you do a British accent for the rest of the show now?
Oh.
Too soon.
Jeremy is a sensitive subject.
Jeremy's in the booth.
Hi, Jeremy.
Mindy's playing drums tonight somewhere.
Hey, Jeremy, how you doing?
That was it?
That was it.
You said hey as over me or under me.
Not nearly as talkative as me.
Thanks.
We'll stay awake for a few minutes, Jeremy.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
And our special guest with us tonight.
I hope you like this intro.
I wrote it out.
Over the years...
How am I doing so far?
Over the years makes me sound old, so why don't you go to hell?
In the last...
In the last...
In the last few months...
You've already done a film.
You've seen him in a zillion movies and television shows.
Most notably as Cliff Lewis in TV's Matlock.
Is that pretty good?
You like that?
That's...
Yes.
That's great.
Okay.
You played Jay Leno in the HBO movie The Late Shift.
Huh?
Good.
Good.
All right.
He's got me in time.
Yes, that's right.
He's like Jay Leno.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That's awesome.
There it is.
You were Tommy...
Let me know if this is right.
You were Tommy Lee Jones'...
Comical sidekick?
Is that something?
I don't know that that's really...
I don't think Tommy Lee Jones...
If you asked him, you might say, I don't remember Roebuck being funny.
I do.
You were Deputy Marshal Bobby Biggs.
It's a long name.
In The Fugitive and its spinoff.
Do they have movie spinoffs?
No, it's a sequel.
All right.
U.S.
Marshals.
Yada, yada, yada.
I'm going to keep going on.
This intro...
That's funny.
This intro is longer than I thought it was going to.
It's longer than I intended.
Anyway, you were in some great movies.
I think a lot of people know you as a doctor.
You weren't a doctor in that.
You were arts.
I was a doctor.
You were a doctor.
I was right.
Thank God.
You were Dr. Arts in this scene.
And how many episodes did you do with Lost?
Gosh.
17.
Eight, nine.
I don't know.
Okay.
I did episodes, webisodes, birthday parties.
I put on the doctor.
No, you think it's...
I'm kidding.
Let me just tell you.
It's true.
Remember, we know that George Reeves used to put on the Superman suit.
Right.
Yes.
Right.
So someone asked me to come to their 16-year-old's birthday party.
Oh, wow.
As Dr. Arts.
And at first I thought, how dare you?
And then I thought, well, Superman could do it.
Yeah.
Why the hell not?
Why can't I?
Honest to God.
So, I mean, for...
You know, not for money.
Were people confused when you walked in as Superman?
Yeah.
I was wearing that Superman suit.
And I asked for a revolver.
Because I'm very committed to the role.
Two suits.
Oh, two suits.
Way too much.
And by the way, in the middle of this intro, if anybody's on...
We're still introing.
On this coast, they should just run to the...
They're DVR.
And I'm on Vegas, perhaps now or a little bit from now.
No, that's great.
It's in your schedule.
But DVR it.
Yeah, don't...
No, I'm saying, listen to this.
Watch this if you're mentally handicapped.
But listen to this.
And then go watch Vegas.
Oh, I got the...
There's already an eye roll.
That was a joke.
No.
No one's rolling eyes here.
Peter just dropped his...
Oh, no.
That was his dice.
Peter's got to...
Peter eye rolls.
Peter has an eye condition.
We don't like to talk about.
Once in a while, he'll roll into the back of his head.
And he'll pass out for five minutes.
Don't worry about that.
All right.
It's a quiet time.
Wait, hold on.
Get back to that introduction.
It was very interesting.
I was going to play this clip.
After yada, yada, yada.
And before something else.
Okay, yada, yada, yada.
This clip is...
I queued it up.
It's quick.
But it's one of your penultimate moments in Lost.
It's when you're wrapping up some dynamite.
Oh, let's see.
And you're a big shot.
It's quick.
But here we go.
All right.
We're not going to take any more of this stuff than we need.
Because nitroglycerin is extremely temperamental.
So we...
Okay.
And you just blew up over the entire group of Lost people.
Wait for it.
No.
A and a few Bs.
Dude.
Yeah, that was Hurley saying, dude.
And then later on, he says, you got some arts on you.
Yeah.
That because you're arts.
Dr. Wilson.
And he actually says arts.
That's what's funny.
He says it wrong.
Oh, he says it wrong?
Did he do it on purpose?
Yeah, I think that's in the script.
I think so.
Huh.
And by the way, Jeremy, I can't tell if anybody's calling because I closed the wrong menu.
Yeah.
So Jeremy...
So just point to me or something.
Because the character they set up in there for the show for your role was definitely a very respected character in the group.
You know, they all listened to everything you said and recommended.
I was...
You know, when they called and said, you know, you're going to go be on Lost.
I had never seen Lost.
And I said, oh, God.
Wow.
All right.
But I didn't know what I was playing.
I didn't know anything.
And, you know, in retrospect, people said, how did you take the job without knowing who you were playing?
You didn't read the script.
And I said, I read the plane ticket.
The plane ticket said LAX Hawaii.
Why the hell would I have not done it?
But anyway, yeah, that was Lost.
I wish you guys could watch this.
Literally everyone in this room is looking at a computer.
Well, it's because Stephanie was trying to help me do something on this.
And it totally...
I was trying, but...
She's so pretty.
No, but seriously, with that big arts all over you, you know, that was season one, right?
Yeah, that was the end of the...
The first season.
That was the last episode of the first season.
The end of the first season.
I mean, and for such a short-lived time that you were on that show, I mean, I definitely...
Because I became a fan later on.
I became a fan later on.
I mean, I definitely...
I became a fan later on and then re-watched everything from the beginning.
Oh, all right.
And what a great role for such a limited amount of time that you were on.
Like, you know, they're working on the show, but I definitely thoroughly remember the character and definitely remember that finale to season one.
Just be like, wow, there you go.
Yeah, that was that.
Hey, Dan, I have a question for you.
Oh, yes, yes.
Have you ever thought in your career before Lost that you'd ever play a character named Leslie?
No, that was the name of my first wife, actually.
I wonder...
You know, and then...
That never occurred to me until you just said it.
Even when we shot it, I never thought...
Your name is Leslie.
That was...
Because there is a Leslie Roebuck.
There was a Leslie Roebuck.
That was my question.
Thanks for coming in.
Okay.
Everybody have a great night.
That's the show.
If you guys have any questions...
That was definitely worth a drive downtown.
If you are listening tonight, the number is 1-800-893-9562.
Call in, talk to Leslie.
Yeah, Dan.
He's here.
You call him Mr. Biggs.
I know it's Saturday night.
It's big time Saturday night.
But if you're listening at home...
Or, you know, anywhere else in the world, call me.
Yeah.
It's great.
Our worldly listeners.
Dan.
Yes.
Let's skip around here because your resume goes all over the place.
It's everywhere.
Oh, yeah.
There's a lot of yada, yada, yada.
Okay.
Listen.
No disrespect with the yada, yada, yada.
I'm not offended.
John, have I ever been offended by anything?
Well, you rolled your eyes at me then.
I think you got...
I laughed.
I'm trying to make the people at home laugh.
I still don't remember me rolling my eyes.
No, you didn't roll your eyes.
Oh, thank you.
Who rolled their eyes?
Someone else.
It was an eye roll.
Jeremy rolled his eyes.
No, Jeremy's eyes have been looking at me long.
They've been closed.
He's on eBay.
I mean, he's not even paying attention.
Happy 420, Jeremy.
Happy 420.
Your first major role was as Rex in 1985.
Oh, yeah.
And Peter loves this fucking movie.
It's Cave Girl.
Cave Girl.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
What a one-off.
I was hoping there would be many more to come from it.
Well, we...
You know, it's very funny.
I remember when we were making it, we thought, oh, and Cave Girl 2.
None of us realized, of course.
Shit.
What's interesting about Cave Girl is we're laughing at it, and it would be absolutely an embarrassment.
Well, it is an embarrassment.
It is an embarrassment, but I love it.
However, we're still talking about it, right?
Yes.
And they're putting out Cave Girl on DVD for the second time.
So last week, we did something that's never been done.
We've done a commentary in 2 1⁄2D.
Wow.
So we did the commentary.
We did the commentary, and we filmed it, and there'll be pictures on it.
So we couldn't really afford 3D, but we have 2 1⁄2D of the commentary.
And also, I'm making a documentary called Cave Girl, a second journey back in time.
Are you serious?
Absolutely.
Wow.
It'll be, I think...
Oh, gosh.
Oh, boy.
So we'll get it.
Sounds entertaining.
Before it's done, I'm going to figure out the name of...
Code Red.
Code Red is putting it out.
Code Red, and it'll be out in a few months.
So Cave Girl on DVD with special features.
There's photos, my photo albums, my script, and a lot of self-deprecating humor.
Because, frankly, how do you talk about Cave Girl without saying, it's shit?
No.
I just want to know what happened to...
I mean, I had to check it again, but David Oliver, who wrote and directed...
Yes.
If you will come up on IMDb, because I did it before the show...
Yeah, he does that.
There is nothing else.
Yeah.
There is nothing else listed.
And I just really want to know, this was just his baby.
This was his pride.
And joy.
And that was it.
He just went off the wagon afterwards.
Well, you know, David ended up teaching in San Francisco at, I think, the Art Institute or whatever it is up there.
So he became a teacher.
Nice.
And it's interesting.
You know, my comments on Cave Girl are always couched with a certain regard for David Oliver.
Because, in reality, they did not want the fat-ass Dan Roebuck in the movie.
And I convinced him that I would be...
He's better in the lead than the guys that I saw audition, all good-looking guys.
So I can't...
There can never...
I always have to have a regard for David because he took a chance on me.
Awesome.
Yeah.
And so I'm not...
You know, it is sad that anybody does it once and doesn't go back to it.
I mean, it's unfortunate in any...
You know, I mean, IMDb is filled with...
Robert's still trying, man.
No, hey, Robert.
Yeah.
Robert, by the way, you know...
The truth is, and that's a whole other story, but when I came out here, you know what I wanted to do?
I wanted to be a tour guide at Universal.
Oh, really?
I haven't, you know...
You know who are tour guides, Dan?
Peter and I.
All of us.
Peter and I were tour guides.
I don't know that you were a tour guide.
That's how I know Peter.
Yeah, that's how I know John.
Peter used to sell me drugs behind, you know, the King Kong Adventure.
Actually, Code Red was the Universal Police Are Coming.
So when you said Code Red, it brought back memories.
Code Red on that.
I'm sure you didn't really sell drugs.
No, it's a joke.
Peter did.
But, uh...
I mean, that...
So that's what I wanted to be.
And when I didn't get past the first interview, I wrote...
Because up to...
When I got here to town, I had been a magician and impressionist, a stand-up comedian, a clown in a circus.
And I knew everything that any human being could know about Universal Studios.
Yeah.
Yet somehow, I did not get past the first run.
It's a grueling process.
Whoopi Goldberg, they always drilled us into it.
You know, Whoopi Goldberg tried out for this.
And that's great.
That's great.
And I made it.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
In my training class for Universal, I think it was...
No, I was there.
Was I there before you, Peter?
You were there about a year before I was.
Okay, well, in our training class, you know, it was a big group and they whittle it down over the weeks.
You get a phone book of material.
Yes, I remember.
You know, just movie stuff.
I remember from my friend.
Right.
Well, we had an Asian girl, very, very sweet girl that I remember.
And I remember her in the cafeteria once.
And she said, Clint Eastwood, I don't know.
I said, well, she's not going to make it.
And she didn't.
I was at the end of that story.
You didn't know who Clint Eastwood was?
No, she's running Universal Studios.
Universal Studios.
Yes.
That woman.
Yes.
It's Connie Chung.
I think she's producing...
Oh, jeez.
Wow.
On that note, let's move on if you're ready.
Nope.
I have to ask also...
Got the balls in motion.
Let's move on from Cave Girl.
Now, you then did an appearance on The Love Boat, but we'll move past that.
I did.
You know, The Love Boat, that was my first SAG job.
Really?
Yeah.
The Love Boat.
I had one line and I said, you know, there was a...
One of the series regular, I spilled a beer, a fake beer on the bar in whatever my nervousness.
And he said, your first time on a set.
And I said...
Was it Isaac?
I said, yes.
It was Isaac.
Did I ruin the joke?
Did I...
I would never have said his name.
And you punched him square in the jaw.
No, no.
He's not a tall man, but he looked like he could kick my ass.
Well, that must be Ash.
We have a caller.
I used my mom, so...
Mom?
Who's calling in?
Is this Isaac?
This is Chad from Baltimore.
Hey, Chad.
How are you?
Hi, Chad.
How you doing, Chad?
Yeah, I do.
That's so...
It's so pathetic.
The guy who's calling is someone I know.
Chad, I owe you a call.
It gets worse, Dan.
We...
Our friends are going to be calling soon.
Chad, Barnabas Collins next week, San Diego.
Are you going to be there?
Dan, I'm still waiting for my Jack in the Box tacos.
What the hell is going on?
Wow.
You got to come out here.
This is so...
Not only do I know this guy, I know that he's...
He's...
A Dark Shadows fan.
Oh, wow.
But evidently not a homosexual, so that's interesting.
Because he'd be the only one.
That is true.
There's only, I don't know, 8 billion homosexual Dark Shadows fans, so...
But there's...
Peter's right here, too, so...
He's a big fan.
He's dressed as a vampire now.
This is the only way you can talk to me, because I haven't called back.
How's...
Should we leave?
That was a career.
Should we go in the other room?
What's happening?
Yes, brother.
No, actually, I just wanted...
You know, touch base with Dan and just say how awesome...
I enjoyed the Walking Dead podcast.
Yeah, we're going to get to that.
We're getting to that.
Yeah.
Thank you, Chad.
You sick bastard in that web series there.
I'm not talking about you on the phone.
I'm talking about Dan next week.
Well, you know, so much...
And I'm sure you're a sick bastard, too, not to take anything away.
But, Chad, while you're on this radio, tell me the name of the Bleeker Street Boys.
Is that it?
Bleeker Street Cowboys.
Bleeker Street Cowboys.
Very...
This is a very good musician, by the way.
Nice.
Him and his buddies.
Oh, my God.
Let's plug him since he had the balls to call.
Yeah.
Aren't you...
Shouldn't you be sleeping in Baltimore?
It is late, but I saw your Facebook.
Oh, awesome.
And I said, yeah, I got a call.
Thanks for doing that, Dan.
All right.
Thank you, Chad.
Chad, thanks for...
Thank you.
You guys want to spend a little more time?
No, no, Chad.
Are you good?
I'll call you this week.
Oh, that's cool.
Chad, thanks for calling, man.
Hey, man.
No problem.
I'm really enjoying the show.
Thanks.
Thanks, Chad.
Thank you, everybody.
Hey, we have another caller.
What?
We are blowing up.
Whoa.
Who's calling?
Dan, are you bringing the phone calls?
Usually Stephanie...
It might be someone else that I haven't called back.
Usually Stephanie will go in the other room and call us from the other room and change her voice.
Who's calling?
Are you still there, caller?
Hello?
Jeremy?
Are you there?
They got skipped.
They got skipped?
I like that they blame Jeremy.
We always blame Jeremy.
Call back if you're not asking for money.
Call back.
Yes, call back.
Or do.
We don't have any.
Once again, this is not the sex show that takes place on Wednesday nights.
No, no.
We don't talk about that.
Don't get that.
Don't get that.
Don't get that.
Don't get that.
Don't get that.
They get enough listeners.
All right, let's move on.
By the way, Facebook, as this fella mentioned Facebook, please, let's go to...
There's a Daniel Roebuck fan page.
Yeah.
And you'll know it's mine because I think there's a picture of this show up on it now.
There's some...
Guys, there's fake fan pages for me.
Really?
Like fake...
I'm responsible for three of them.
All right.
Well, it's very odd.
People are like, you never post.
And I say, no, they post on the site.
So, yeah, you got to find the right one.
Okay.
You'll know it's mine because there's updated information.
Yeah.
All right.
And yeah, you're welcome.
Yeah.
So, again, if you call back 1-800-893-9562, just hold on the line and we'll get to you.
Maybe.
Unless it's one of Peter's friends.
Who's here this week?
Christopher Atkins called.
Is he calling in this week?
I'm pretty sure he said he might be calling.
I'm pretty sure he said he might.
But we can never really guarantee on what he's going to do.
I got, you know, Margo Kidder said...
She's pretty much guaranteed.
Wait, wait.
We got something?
I can't hear you, Jeremy.
The show's going down.
Like a love boat.
I got gas.
Do we have a caller?
Oh, our caller's back.
Do we have a caller?
Caller?
Wow, this is fun.
Hello?
Hey, caller!
Which one of Dan's friends are you?
I'm not Dan's friend.
I'm John's friend.
Oh, no.
Oh, great.
My friend.
This is Brian calling from Binghamton, New York.
Oh, Binghamton.
I've been to Binghamton.
Hugh Grant.
What's your name?
Just there filming a movie.
It blows my mind.
Poor Hugh.
I don't think you should say Hugh Grant and blows in the same way.
Thank you, Dan.
Hey, you got to watch your language.
My kids are listening.
Oh, what are you...
Oh, sorry about that.
Stephanie slips up sometimes.
I apologize.
Yeah.
All right.
Ay, Dios mio.
So what's up, Brian?
Yeah, it is.
What?
Oh, boy.
I'm glad you called.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Hey, we're in the middle of a show, buddy.
Can we talk later?
Text me.
Can we talk about whatever's going on on your show?
We are.
We're talking to...
Dan's our guest tonight, Brian.
Can we talk later?
Do you have any great questions for Dan?
Do you have a question for Dan?
I'm good.
Hey, in Binghamton, New York, isn't there a great carousel that's got Rod Serling twilight zone all over it?
Yes.
Because Rod Serling was born in Binghamton.
Our claim to fame.
Don't ask me.
I wouldn't know.
Oh, boy.
I wouldn't know.
But it's true.
You know, my friend Cortland Hull painted that carousel.
Really?
Yes.
Because it's known as the carousel capital of the world, in case people didn't know that.
Binghamton, because it used to make carousels.
Yep.
Well, they still have working carousels there.
But yeah, Rod Serling from Binghamton, New York.
Well, it's nice meeting you.
Yeah, Brian.
Thank you for calling.
It would be...
And no offense to you, of course, Brian, but if anybody who didn't know anyone in this room would call, that might impress the other seven listeners.
Brian, thanks for calling, man.
I'll talk to you later.
Bye, Brian.
Tell your kids to go to sleep.
Brian.
Yep.
Or hang up, you jerk.
All right.
Thank you, Brian.
Let's move on.
Let's get back on track.
Our callers always come.
We love them.
With the greatest questions.
They really do.
Dan, let's go through your list quickly, because I have a lot of questions.
A lot of questions.
We have so much to get through.
Oh, God.
The River's Edge.
Yes.
All right.
The River's Edge.
Big dramatic role for you.
Yes.
You play a nice guy.
I do.
Can you imagine?
Before that, I was in Cave Girl, and then I was in River's Edge, and it's a bit different.
Yeah, I guess the Love Boat was in between.
Were you on every TV show ever made?
And by the way, I'm trying to be on...
With this new technology, I'm trying to be on every TV show that was ever made.
My dream is for someone to turn on the Brady Bunch and go, Wait, is that Dan Robach?
How the hell did he get on that?
Oh, man.
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
Hey, we have another call.
I can't wait.
How exciting is this?
I can't wait.
Caller, go ahead.
Please don't be a friend of ours.
Hello?
All right.
I'll pretend not to.
Oh, no.
I'm in Catholic high school with John.
Who's this?
Oh, my God.
In the past.
Who is this?
Oh, is this...
Who is this?
Gamache.
Oh, Dave Gamache.
I haven't talked to him since...
Wow.
Facebook Gamache.
Dave, I did not know John.
I went to Catholic high school, too.
What was your school?
Well, we went to see Catholic high school.
The reason I was calling is I speak in schools around the country, and I saw a very small shrine in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, at a school to, I believe, to yourself, sir.
What?
So I was calling to let you know that you're famous, Beck.
It's your own high school.
It's your own high school.
That's what I did.
No way.
No, no.
Now, what do you talk about at schools?
I work for the family of the first student killed at Columbine.
Today's actually the 14-year anniversary of that.
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow.
There's no...
That's with the current events.
Yeah, right.
No joke about that.
But I'm glad.
So you go and you talk to kids about that horror and how to avoid it?
No, we actually go in and talk about how she had a premonition she was going to die young, and so she lived.
She lived very intentionally and took care of people and did some pretty cool stuff.
And after her death, her family discovered a lot of really prophetic stuff in her journals, and people came forward saying that she did this to help and that to help.
And it's a very inspirational story, so it's good stuff.
Oh, good.
Well, thank you.
Say her name so people can...
Let's say the name of a hero out loud.
What is it?
Well, it's Rachel Joy Scott.
It's the person I talked about.
And the program's called Rachel's Challenge.
But my claim to fame is not that I've been...
In front of senators and athletes and actors and Olympians and such, my claim to fame is I know John Donahue.
My claim to fame is I know Dan Roebuck.
But you know what's funny?
Let's discuss that in a second.
Now, not that you know me, but so this...
I don't think it's really a shrine, but I did...
At Bethlehem Catholic High School, I was given the Distinguished Alumni Award.
Oh, wow.
And I was there with...
There's always three.
And I was there with a brilliant...
A brilliant doctor who had invented some new way to birth babies, although I thought there was only one way.
The robot birth.
I was with one of the heads of the FBI.
Whoa.
And I said, this is so interesting.
I see why you've given me this award, because I've played a doctor and an FBI man on TV.
Yeah.
But when they gave...
There's a guy there named Ray Boris who was one of the great teachers.
This poor guy got stuck with me for four years.
I had a religion three years and psychology one year.
And when I went to visit...
I went to his room because he was, you know, still 30 years later at Bethlehem Catholic High School.
He pulled out my report card from my senior year, which was not a good report card.
And to make fun of me in front of the students.
And I said, but Ray, I just received the Distinguished Alumni Award, and you have the same job.
If he's listening, hopefully he'll call, because we should have one other person who knows his call.
But he was a great guy.
And it's great.
It's a great school.
And by the way, I go to great trouble to send my own children to Catholic High School.
My daughter will be the senior class president at her high school.
My son's on student council at his Catholic High School.
So it's a good education to be had.
Yes, I agree.
That's where I learned to swear.
That's where, yeah.
So pathetic.
If we're the best of the cream of the crop, then maybe I shouldn't mention it.
Hey, Dan, I just wanted to point out...
Mr. Kamesh, thank you for calling.
Yeah, Dave, thanks for calling, dude.
We'll talk soon, man.
If we had...
If we suffered through Catholic education, our kids should have to, too.
That's right.
I agree.
Hey, we'll talk later, dude.
All right, take care, bro.
See you, man.
Bye, Dave.
Hey, by the way, Dan, there's four homeless people building a stature of you downstairs in front of the building as we speak.
Hopefully one of them will call.
Yeah, so...
Hopefully one of them has a cell phone.
Wait, hold on.
I don't have...
I'll take care of them.
Shoot, I don't have my cell phone.
I think one of them grabbed it.
They might have.
Maybe you like me walking around Skid Row Studios.
I gotta...
Okay, there was a joke.
I'm not gonna use it.
Oh, no.
So River's Edge...
Anyway, back to me.
Yes, River's Edge, because we, you know, we're doing good.
How are we doing on time, Robert?
We're good.
We're at 29 minutes left.
We've got all these...
What about these guys?
We talk about them every week.
This is your time.
All right, again, they're building a statue for you, and there you go.
So you worked with the great Dennis Hopper.
Yes.
What was that like?
Well, you know, I'm not just, you know, I'm not just an actor.
In fact, I'm barely an actor, but I am a...
a movie fanatic.
So working with Dennis Hopper was unbelievable.
And when I work with actors I admire, unfortunately for them, like I'm like their shadow, you know, Dennis would say, hey, Danny, you know, maybe you could give me a few minutes to go to the bathroom.
Were you in the bathroom?
I was, yeah.
I mean, I'd be going under, too.
That's what it got me.
You know, I'm doing...
I've got...
You know, if you do Dennis, Dennis actually yelled, you gotta do Dennis right.
You had to yell a little.
Yeah.
One time I...
Many years ago, but I did Dennis Hopper in a room and this pretty girl came in.
Hopefully she's listening.
Her name was Maren.
And she said...
She was looking around.
I was...
We were...
It was while they were editing a movie and she was in the next room and she said, did someone just do a Dennis Hopper impression?
I said, yeah, I did it.
Fuck.
And she goes, that's my dad.
Oh.
Oh, wow.
So no, she wasn't mad.
I mean, it was...
Sounded like him at the time.
I'm 30 years older, so...
I love your audition story for River's Edge.
Oh, yeah, that was something.
Do you have a quick version of that?
A quick version of my audition for River's Edge is...
Or a slow version?
They would have never, ever, ever given me the part if they saw the guy from Catholic school.
The married 21-year-old man.
They would have never given me the part, so I greased my hair down and threw on ratty clothes and got some beer and walked into the room and instead of sitting on the chair, I sat in the corner and...
On the floor.
On the floor.
And, you know, they may have thought, oh, Jesus, we've got...
You know, one of the guys will eventually be downtown building a shrine to Dan Roebuck.
No, I mean, the director, I think I fooled him and then the end of the story...
I know I fooled him because he said so and then the end of the story is...
Are you crying?
Oh, boy.
I burped.
Oh, sorry.
The end of the story is...
I went down to take him a gift, a bottle of wine to thank him for giving me the part before we started shooting and I said, this is for you and he said, oh, thanks.
Who's it from?
And I said, it's from me and he said, who are you?
And I said, I'm Danny Roebuck.
He had no idea, you know, what I really look like.
Oh, wow, that's funny.
So that's the end of the story.
Wasn't that interesting?
Please stop the call.
Sorry about that.
Call from Tim Hunter.
That story is bullshit.
1-800-893-9562 is still our number.
Hey, Dan, let's...
It's still our number if you've shredded it somehow accidentally.
Hasn't changed.
If somehow you've written it down and taken it and burned it on flash paper with a knife.
We're giving it to you again so you could maybe accidentally call.
It's great if they're actually listening to this right now live.
It's actually right in front of them on the website.
And if, by the way, and if you listen to this next week and you call, I won't be here.
You won't be here.
Well, we're trying to get you back.
Me and Peter will call.
Peter will be.
No, no, yeah, Peter will be here.
I sleep under the table.
We'll have you call in, Dan.
Okay.
We need some more friends calling.
Yeah.
What else is going on?
No, I appreciate everybody who calls.
Here's the deal.
That was so well done.
Dan, thank you.
Here's the deal.
Let's move on.
The late shift.
You played Jay Leno.
Yes.
You had a prosthetic chin.
Did you keep it?
I know.
And I'm an idiot.
I do.
You can write, someone write that down next to the phone number that you're not using.
Right?
Dan's an idiot because I, you know, I wanted to be a makeup man at one point.
You would have thought I would have kept one chin.
I never asked for it.
And then when I finally did, they said, oh, you don't know where any of that stuff is.
I wore chin and nose, fake teeth.
Stephanie, you're wearing all that now.
She dresses up.
She looks fantastic.
Hey, we have a caller.
Oh.
A caller.
Who's calling in?
Stop talking about Stephanie.
I'll shank you in the parking lot next to your...
Right next to that statue.
Next to that statue made of feces.
Hey, caller.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you, John?
Good.
Who's calling in?
This is a guy named Jason.
Happens to be friends with John.
John who?
Me?
John Donahue.
Jason who?
What's up?
What's up?
Why is this third person?
Jason Cockerham.
Oh, Jason Cockerham.
What's going on?
You know Jason Cockerham, Dan.
Jason Cockerham was in the audition as a job and now he's moved into producing.
Jason, how did it go?
Well, it's gone pretty well.
We finished shooting the last bit for our trailer Wednesday, actually.
So we should be getting that ready to go sometime next week.
Fantastic.
Mazel tov.
Awesome, yeah, because Jason directed a show.
You didn't direct it.
You wrote a short film, yes?
Or is it a long film?
It's a long, short film.
Oh, it's a long, short film and Dan is in it?
Yes, Dan, and hopefully John Donahue, too.
Yeah, well, if you can get my agent.
And hopefully, John, because getting to do Robo was easy.
I'm going to see if I can have those homeless people sculpt my face, you know, over yours and the feces.
Okay, good.
I'm just going to say.
Oh, man.
We're going to keep beating that joke.
Jason, do you have a question?
Or an answer.
I like that everybody calls in to pitch their stuff.
Check out this.
Jason, thanks for calling.
And even your friend Brian pitched his kids.
You know, he had to rub it in our face that he let them in Binghamton, New York that for some reason they were up at 1130 at night just to listen to this show.
I can't swear at 1130 in Binghamton.
Where can you?
Hey, Jason, thanks for calling.
I'll talk to you later, buddy.
We got stuff to do.
All right, sounds good.
I'd see you later.
Good catching up.
Hey, so you didn't keep the chin.
I did.
The late shift.
This is a smooth...
By the way, we have 20 more years after this.
We do.
We're going to move on quickly.
Can I tell you a late shift story if you'd like to hear one?
Yeah, sure.
We had to reshoot some scenes in that movie like you do often for, you know, story, story.
And my daughter was imminent.
Imminent.
Like, late.
And we had, the makeup artist had a suit, suitcase with the accoutrements to remove the makeup from me if I had been called to the hospital.
And the director, Betty Thomas, said to Kelly the day before we started shooting...
It's your wife, Kelly.
My wife, Kelly.
She said, she goes, I'm telling you right now, you better not ruin my shoot with that baby.
And then the baby was literally born the next day.
Wow.
Good timing.
It was never, you know, Jay Leno's love child was born.
It was me running into the hospital as Jay Leno.
Did Jay give you his blessing from that shoot?
He's a godfather.
He's, yeah.
He's a cute baby.
He's not the baby though, this show.
You know what's, Jay has been a gracious acquaintance, always gracious 100% of the time.
So, not the blessing.
And I never asked for it before the show because I just thought that would have been a bad position to put him in.
But he's been kind.
I produced an animated short film and he narrated it for us.
Wow.
And I had Kathy Bates in it too.
So, if anybody thought, well, they'll never work together, you know, we put them together.
Because Kathy played his agent in the show.
Yes.
In the movie.
Nice.
And Jay is, you know, the thing about Jay is that he's just a nice person.
And nobody wants to believe that because we want to think everybody in Hollywood is an ass like us.
But he, the reason you've never read anything bad about him is because he's just a nice guy.
And it's hard for people to accept that.
I've had the plebbers run into the guy about twice in a past job where I got to talk to the guy and I've never met a more genuine down-to-earth individual where it was just kind of like him in his denim jeans and his denim shirt which is what he just loves and he's just Then you yelled cold red and you both ran.
How did this guy get into my office and then mass pandemonium broke out?
No, a good guy.
When I'm in the canyon sometimes, I'll see this big jalopy or some old car.
He is Jay Leno sitting at the top of it with goggles or something.
He's got this car collection.
You can always see him just tooling around.
Yeah, he's like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Like, where's the goggles and the helmet at all too which is a little weird.
Oddly, I wore goggles and helmet driving down here just to confuse everyone.
We got your helipad on the roof.
That's, okay.
We don't spare any expense.
I noticed that.
As you shake the mic.
It's sturdy.
We got it held up with some popsicle sticks and rubber bands.
It's a good mic.
No, it's a good mic.
Jeremy's pissed.
He's like, do not make fun of my equipment.
That is a genuine speak and spell that I hooked up and made it a, you know, some kind of a thing for the equipment.
There you go.
Nothing about tech, by the way.
Yeah, I know.
Speak and spell and hooked on phonics.
Okay, let's see.
Cross prosthetic chin off.
Now, you want to go down his outline.
Speaking of, speaking of being the comedic sidekick, Tommy Lee Jones.
Everybody was speaking that about Tommy Lee Jones.
Wait a minute.
From the beginning, from earlier when I, when I put, I remember.
No, I remembered.
I don't know if Tommy Lee Jones, if you're listening, would you call in?
Yes, please.
1-800-893-9562.
It's toll free, Tommy.
1-800-893-9562.
Yeah.
Now, the other day I took Harrison, I took Harrison, I took Stephanie Butor to see Harrison Ford at Jimmy Kimmel's show.
He was great and she passed out and she woke up and she wished Harrison was giving her mouth to mouth.
But Dan, what was your experience working with Harrison Ford on The Fugitive?
Harrison Ford, uh, a very, you know, a very nice guy.
Uh, I got, uh, two quick stories.
One is, uh, we were shooting down in, uh, gosh, Tennessee, I guess, maybe, or North, no, North Carolina, but it doesn't really matter.
We're going to look it up right now.
You better be right.
We were at the, uh, the shooting scenes in the hospital and, uh, my dad was there and he was walking to the set and he stopped and he turned and he said, you must be Dan Roebuck's dad, which does not bode well for me and the future of how I'm going to look.
but, uh, he was, you know, and I always thought that, that showed a, a certain, uh, you know, panache and charm.
Uh, and then I, I do remember when we were shooting at the, at the Hilton, I guess, in Chicago, very late at night, he was sitting on a camera case and I was sitting on a camera case, you know, just to piss off.
They don't give Harrison a chair.
Well, you know, you're just, we're just kind of relaxing.
Andrew Davis.
Andrew Davis, yeah, Robert Stern, Andrew Davis.
And then, uh, and then, uh, you know, I'd looked over to him and there was Indiana Jones and Han Solo and I said, I said, I don't know what to say to you.
And he, and he said, I understand.
So, that's, wow.
That's awesome.
Inspiring words from, I understand.
I always thought, what is it like to go through life as, as Indiana Jones and Han Solo?
You can never fall, you can never trip in public, you gotta look cool at all times.
Yeah, you gotta, and he does.
And he does, he does.
You gotta parallel park perfectly.
And he was funny on that, That show, huh?
Oh, it was amazing.
On the Kimmel show.
He was great.
He yelled at Chewbacca.
You can watch that.
You can watch that, I'm sure, on YouTube.
I'm sure it's very good.
Yeah, I've already watched it again.
Are you falling asleep, Dan?
No.
No, no.
I'm trying to be comfortable and talking to the microphone.
But we were talking about Andrew Davis.
You look very comfortable.
We were?
The director.
He went on to direct so many other things, including a movie called Holes.
Do you want to get to that already?
No, I just thought it was.
I'm doing segues.
Wait, I had a segue, Dan.
I've been on radio for 40 years, brother.
Dan, look at this.
I have a, okay, here's my segue.
Look at, Dan, here's my segue, literally printed out.
Don't blow it.
Don't use it.
Use it later.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
Jesus.
No, this is good.
This is not it.
This is not it.
I'm sorry, it's not your time yet.
It's okay, I'll sit in the corner.
Sticking with movies, you worked recently, I'm reading, on a film that I love, John Dies at the End.
Oh, great film.
It's a crazy film.
I still do not understand it, but I've seen it four times and I don't give a crap.
I love it so much.
Great film.
We can only hope.
This just came out on DVD.
DVD.
DVD.
On demand.
And you are masked.
Don Coscarelli, who brought us Phantasm and Bubba Hotep.
Awesome.
A great filmmaker.
I wish I had bad stories to say.
Another great guy, like the gentleman's gentleman.
Beautiful family.
His daughter, by the way, Chloe Coscarelli, is a vegan chef cook.
Yeah.
And she has her second book out now.
Oh, cool.
She won Cupcake Wars once with a vegan cupcake.
Just a beautiful girl.
Anyway, they're the nicest people.
And that movie, I'm very proud of that.
Don does at the end.
Even though I appear only in the last act of the film and I'm wearing a mask.
And Don always says, well, Dan took the bullet on this one.
And I said, no, no.
I mean, look.
Look at this.
You know, Roddy McDowell wore the makeup in four movies and a TV show.
And, you know, they knew by his voice that he was still running.
And then I went, oh, shit.
I need a whole other voice.
I do this voice in the movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is how the lodgeman talks.
Oh, that's it.
I don't know why.
Because I said, he's from another dimension.
Maybe he talks different.
So, it's not my voice or my face.
And now I lost 40 pounds.
It's not even my goddamn body.
Did you keep the chin, Dan?
I kept the mask.
That mask I have.
Or the mask.
I shouldn't have said GD.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I love the film.
And so, if you haven't checked out John Dies at the End, it's freaking awesome.
I recommend watching that with Repo Man, another one of my favorites.
Which is a movie I still don't understand either, but I love it.
Oh.
Speaking of cult.
Horror directors, you've also worked with Rob Zombie a few times.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
Halloween 1 and 2.
How much fun was that?
It was great.
Rob is, you know, he's a real filmmaker.
You know, he's a rock.
I went to see him play, you know, a concert.
And I just kept, because I only know him as a director.
And I was just thinking, this would be like Sonia Henney.
Sonia Henney.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Tippi Hendren.
Or David Henney.
I was thinking, Tippi Hendren going to see Alfred Hitchcock ice skate.
That's probably what I was thinking.
She's a wonderful off-the-road ice skater.
She's saying, I didn't know you could ice skate, too.
Oh, yes, I have a great ice skating.
But.
No, they already made the Alfred Hitchcock movies.
You didn't call me.
A couple of them.
But.
You're actually better.
I'm just kidding.
The, yeah, Rob's great.
I was in Lord's Salem, which is out this week.
People should go see it.
Oh, you're in that, too?
Because I want to see that.
Well, I was in it.
And Mr. Zombie did not inform me.
Oh, my God.
Mr. Zombie informed me.
Months ago that I would not be in it.
I see his segue.
He didn't do it on the red carpet.
On the red carpet.
But I, by the way, at Halloween 2, I had to tell another actor on the red carpet that he had no idea.
And it is hard when that information doesn't come out.
The guy didn't know we had.
We reshot the whole sequence.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, man.
But that's not an uncommon situation, huh?
No.
It's a reflection for the segue.
Listen, let's segue.
Hey.
You know, Dan.
You know, Robert was in a movie.
I think I mentioned the movie Holes.
Oh, yeah.
I noticed the biggest hole in it was Robert.
Yeah, Robert.
Tell Dan what happened.
I got cut out.
No, on the red carpet.
And I found out with Andrew Davis telling me on the red carpet.
And he certainly, he fell bad about it.
I know him.
Oh, yes.
He was probably horrified that you were there.
He made Robert buy him a popcorn and soda at the premiere right after.
It was mostly because I made it.
But, yeah.
No, yeah.
He.
He was very nice about it.
And he kept telling me, you know, just keep going.
You know, don't worry about this.
This is just a hiccup.
And, you know, 11 years later, I'm a tour guide at Universal Studios.
Hopefully.
Well, listen.
I'm not even there yet.
I refuse to watch Holes until they put Robert's scene back in the movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's a good.
You should go on a hunger strike, John.
What is that supposed to mean?
No, no, no, no.
Am I heavy?
Anyway, I'm just saying.
I do want to point out, though.
I actually went and looked for.
I went and looked for Holes DVDs or Holes CDs.
Yeah.
And couldn't find them anywhere.
So it makes me feel like people kept them.
No, I think people bought them.
Yeah, people bought them.
Because you weren't in it.
Yeah.
Or they never even put them in circulation.
No.
It's just very interesting.
And, you know, like now, like if you're not in a Rob Zombie movie, I don't worry.
You know, in the first place, I know it's.
He's.
Whatever helps the story is better for the story.
Yes.
But in Lord Salem, I played two characters and got cut out of both.
Because I was playing a murderer.
And then I also.
He said, you want to play Frankenstein.
So I play Frankenstein in this movie within the movie.
Wearing this mask that I almost suffocated in.
But I thought it would be fun to be Frankenstein in a movie.
But it'll be on the DVD.
So we should see if there's deleted scenes on the DVD.
Robert does.
Robert is on the DVD deleted scenes of Holes.
Yes.
All right.
But for people who want to hear fans of Holes, I devised a plan.
I got a piece of the script.
A piece.
A page.
A piece of the script.
Well, it's the only page.
It's basically Robert's whole performance on one page.
All right.
He played Derek Dunn, the bully in the movie.
Now, Stanley Yelnats was played by Shia LaBeouf in the movie.
What a talent.
Shia LaBeouf.
So right now, Dan has agreed to read all of Stanley Yelnats' lines.
It's a big scene.
And Robert is going to reprise his role as Derek Dunn.
All his lines live right now.
How many years has it been?
It's been years.
15 years.
15 years.
I've been waiting.
It was since 2004.
In a little piece, we like to call...
Holy Theater.
So classy.
I had to find that.
Okay, here we go.
I'm going to read the stage direction.
Stanley shuts his locker and begins to walk off with Derek.
His notebook...
I read that wrong.
Wow.
He begins to walk off with Derek.
His notebook...
I don't know what that means.
When a boy much smaller than Stanley sneaks up behind him and grabs the notebook out of his hand.
The other boys all laugh.
Nice job, Peter and Stephanie.
Hugh Stanley.
Hey, give that back.
Come and get it, lard butt.
And that was Holy Theater.
Robert, you finally got to do...
I finally got to do it.
You finally got to do it for everybody.
It was a Shia LaBeouf lard butt.
Yeah.
That's why you got cut out.
And I wanted that little...
Jeremy's going to cut it out.
The idea was to have a little beat at the end for the music to play up a little longer.
It was great.
This is the beginning of a great, great segment.
We need to get Linda Hamilton in here and read Stanley Yelmatt.
We've got to do it with Dan Robach.
Dan Robach.
If someone else reads...
Thank you very much for being...
Robert has a tear in his eye.
I do.
He finally got to play that character and people got to hear it.
You got to hear it.
That will...
I'm sorry.
I do hate to bring this up, but that will be $575.
Oh, boy.
If Robert...
No, is there something...
Is there something...
Is there such a thing as SAG scale anymore?
I think in SAG, we just pay them.
Those morons have the union scoops through them.
Those union bastards.
Didn't Andrew Davis say your role, you weren't getting paid period, Robert?
Period.
So it doesn't matter, does it?
You did, but you should be getting residuals.
Yeah, we're working on it.
I was told the same thing.
My manager's working on it.
I was told the same thing when I got cut out of Taxi Cab Confessions.
Twice.
Are you serious?
Twice.
I believed you.
Cried like a baby in the backseat for about 35 minutes.
Like you do in my car when we carpool.
You didn't even get in front of me when I'm in the air.
I hate picking up Peter every week because he's in the backseat.
We pick him up.
We take...
Because he doesn't want to pay the $7 parking.
I say, Peter, we're downstairs.
All right, I'm on my way.
I have irritable bowel syndrome.
Okay.
10, 15 minutes later...
I have irritable friend syndrome, but I still came on the radio.
And yet this guy, if I go to pick him up, I could be sitting outside for 25, 30 minutes for him to come outside.
No, he's watching the commentary on some stupid DVD.
Turn it for Robert.
Here's the thing.
We waited downstairs for 10 minutes, but here's the thing.
10 minutes was about four.
Peter gets in the car, no fail.
Anyway, if I come near another car, a car gets in front of us, we want to park.
He's going, oh.
Like he's like, I have to please you while I'm driving?
I'm going through the streets.
You don't make it easier when I drive.
You don't make it any easier.
We'll talk about this later.
You drive home.
We are over.
We are breaking up.
I can't quit you, John.
I just don't know how to quit you, John, down here.
We have...
We have eight minutes left.
Stephanie hasn't said anything.
That's how we like it, Dan.
That's how we like it.
If you listen to the show, Dan, you know this.
Who the hell listens to this show?
I'm not allowed, Dan.
I'm not allowed.
Well, let me ask you a question.
Let's gauge how many people are listening by the calls.
Is there another call?
Jeremy, describe your voice quick.
Wait, Jeremy, wake up.
Describe your voice quick.
Jeremy's like, hey, my name's Jeremy.
We all have a fake Jeremy voice.
Hey, Mr. Daniel.
I'm not going to hear you.
I'll be pushing for you.
Hey, real quick.
You were on The Walking Dead, but it was for like the...
The webisodes.
What was that?
The webisodes, correct?
Yeah.
Please, you guys, check out...
It's awesome.
I totally missed that.
Oh, no.
You can see.
You can still go.
And they were just nominated for a Webby Award.
Nice.
The webisodes were directed by...
God, I don't have anything bad to say about anybody.
Another great guy, Greg Nicotero, who's...
I love Greg Nicotero.
This is why you work so much in the business, because you have nothing bad to say about him.
I don't have anything bad to say, and even Ted, Lange, I mean, I don't hold it against him.
Who's Ted Lange?
Exactly.
You mean...
No.
No, that's a joke.
That's a joke, Ted.
Ted, you're falling.
Isaac from The Love Boat.
But, so...
So, you guys can go...
If you...
You know, everything's Google-able, right?
WalkingDead.com.
Walking Dead webisodes, 2012.
And you gotta just...
You can watch them all in 12 minutes.
Yeah.
I also want to say, as we're talking about horror, you guys know I have an affinity and affection for horror, horror movies.
Yes, yes.
I wanted to ask you about that.
Yeah, let's talk about Dr. Shocker.
Well, Dr. Shocker, please.
We've got a new fun DVD coming out in a few months called Dr. Shocker's Vault of Horror.
Awesome.
Nice.
And you can go...
Please go to DocShocker.com.
DocShocker.com.
And there's a Doc Shocker Facebook page.
I beg you to join that, and you'll know when the DVD's coming out.
But it's filled with...
Nice.
It's a...
It's hard to describe.
It's a bouperie of monster mania.
It's a...
I got...
I got to catch a little bit of it, and me growing up in Chicago, Sen Guli...
Yeah. ...was a big part of my childhood.
And when I first found out about your Doc Shocker persona...
I watched Doc Shocker. ...and watched a little bit, that's a whole...
That's for the sex show on Wednesday night.
Oh, boy.
But no, and I thoroughly love the vaudevillian style of the show that you put up.
And folks, if you haven't listened to it, definitely check it out.
Oh, yeah.
It's great.
It is a hoot, you know?
A lot of magic, comedy, style, fun stuff.
There's a lot to see.
Yeah, there's a lot to see on...
DocShocker.com, and it'll be a good preview of what's to come.
So please, yeah, join that.
But so it was, you know, it was joyful to be on those webisodes.
It was unfortunate, though, because, you know, you're on a webisode, and then you kind of give up your chance to be on the show.
Yeah.
Although, if you watch the webisodes, folks, and you see what I really look like, I look like my older, fat brother, which I don't really have.
My brother's skinnier than I am.
But I, you know, I got sick after that.
So I thought, and if, you know, someone's listening, you should all write to TNT or whatever, A&E, what is it?
A&E.
A&E.
There's no reason I can't actually play my younger brother.
Why not?
Yeah.
You know, BJ's dead, and, you know, LJ is not.
I don't know.
Yeah.
But no, if you definitely watch it, your BJ character is definitely a special guy.
Yeah, please.
If you watch the couple of episodes, if you like Walking Dead, folks, he's very endearing.
He's just like all the other characters.
Yeah, I mean, he's right up there with Carl.
Is Peter getting too close, Stan?
Is he too close to your knee?
No, Peter's fantastic.
I'm very, I'm very pleased with, with this crack licking.
Very good.
Wow.
That's so Peter.
He's got his first mate shirt on.
You should see him.
Rub your open buggery.
Hey, we got four minutes left.
Let's talk real quick about something I loved.
I had a great time, and it changed the way I look at auditions.
The audition is the job, Dan.
Thank you.
Yeah, the audition is the job.
I've been mentoring actors for many, many, many years, because there was, there was no, there was no one to help.
Yeah.
No one to help me when I came out here.
Nobody would give you information.
So every few weeks, we have, the audition is the job experience.
I don't call it a class, because I don't want to say, like, I'm a teacher or a master class, because if there's a master class, is there a slave class?
Like, what does that mean?
Yes.
And there's a lot of people teach how to audition, teach, they say, I'm going to teach you how to audition, and you go to look them up on IMDB, and they've, they've never been in anything.
So you think, you may not have figured this out.
Derek Dunne and Holes is teaching a class?
I teach the slave classes.
Background extra words.
How to get cut out.
It's, it's a 16 week class.
The first thing you do is you say to the director, he looks fatter in front of you than he did.
But, you know, so anyway, yes, the audition is the job.com.
I guess that's, it's so, seems so, so pitchy.
The audition is the job.com, and there's, the audition is, the job on Facebook as well.
So you guys could join all that.
And we welcome the chance to help actors.
And John, you, you did say, and you were very kind.
You said it made a difference immediately.
I love auditioning.
I look at totally different now.
Totally.
And I wish you'd stop having the class, because I want to keep these secrets to myself.
Please stop.
That's, yeah, you know, actors, they, they, they're always thinking of what's, you know, I'll get the job, and it'll change my life.
I'll get the job, and I'll have money.
I'll get the job, and my, you know, my boyfriend will love me, whatever.
But in reality, you know, they're always thinking past, just walk in the room.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, so we just helped them remember that, they got to just walk in the room.
Yeah.
Well, I walk in, and I'm told quickly to leave.
Hey, Dan, but I smile about it now.
Hey, Dan, anything else you want to plug before we go?
Well, I feel like I've plugged too much.
Why don't we say, everybody be nice to each other.
I've noticed these last few days, the whole world is tense, man.
And it happens every time.
These terrible things happen.
And you see, I've, I've been, I'm not the best driver, but I'm not, you know, I'm not terrible.
And I've gotten the finger three times in the last week for, last 10 minutes from us.
Stop, just stopping at the stop sign.
So everybody take a deep breath.
And stop driving like a jerk, Dan.
Take a deep breath.
I'll stop driving by like a jerk.
You, you know, but we just got to stay calm.
Love each other.
Yeah.
We don't have to love each other.
There's a lot of people.
But we do have to, we do have to be less douchey to each other.
Yes.
Well said.
Are you listening, Peter?
Let's go around the room.
Dan, great words.
Seriously.
Thank you.
Hey, Robert, plug other friends stuff real quick.
Like you always do.
He's got nothing.
You don't have anything?
He's like, I'd like to plug my friend Bob's.
It might go a long way.
Wish him luck.
Wish Robert luck, everybody, that he gets that job.
You're going to do it.
They're nutty if they don't do it.
Thank you.
Absolutely.
Peter, you want to plug?
Well, just to reiterate, just basically, like everyone basically said, just giving a little, David Ortiz, this is our fucking city.
It was, I think, the best Bob.
Sorry, Brian's kids.
Best Bob dropped in the last week that David Ortiz dropped the Epfom before the Boston Red Sox today game and just said, this is our fucking city.
I'm sorry, Brian's kids.
Brian's kids should be in sleep.
Brian's kids, yeah, go to bed.
Go to bed.
Absolutely.
David Ortiz was not fired by the FCC.
Your father should not let you be up.
Thoughts and prayers.
Binghamton.
Binghamton.
Hey, Stephanie, what do you want to say?
That's it.
Thanks, Stephanie.
I hope that I'm back next week.
Oh, Stephanie, by the way, is the eye candy of this group.
You guys should know it.
I mean, she's a really nice looking girl.
As soon as she starts speaking in British, I get cut off.
I don't know.
I'm going to cut you off now because I have to thank Beyond the Marquee.

Yes.
