yeah that's winter that's winter weight
3:06
though that could come off easy thank
3:08
you i love you you know four times a
3:10
week though he said yeah four times a
3:12
week and and maybe just last meal at
3:14
like 6 00 p.m
3:16
first meal at 10. that's not too hard
3:18
right
3:20
this is 6 p.m yeah you like intermittent
3:22
fasting
3:23
yeah i do anyway let's stop talking
3:25
about my weight
3:27
scott how the game been for you man we
3:29
we we recently reported a story i want
3:32
to say was it ben affleck db who talked
3:34
about um how the money has changed in in
3:38
in film now because of streaming you
3:40
know and that you know people aren't
3:42
making as much that's bradley cooper
3:43
bradley cooper okay ben affleck bradley
3:45
cooper forgive me um and and and that
3:48
they're not making as much because of
3:49
the nature of the deals that they're
3:50
getting and this is coming out on amazon
3:53
yeah
3:54
look i mean
3:55
you know the people that get hurt the
3:57
most is um you know the people like the
3:59
crew right like stunt performers
4:02
um people that aren't getting residuals
4:05
because they just you know the big boys
4:07
just say no we're not doing that
4:10
and so then you know people are are
4:11
forced with a choice right like you know
4:13
do i want to work
4:15
or
4:16
say no to a job and you know that's
4:19
that's what sucks about it the most i
4:21
think is is all the people that uh
4:23
that work really hard day in day out and
4:26
they don't get
4:27
they don't get that extra love on the
4:28
back end you know
4:30
that sucks so for for the actors the
4:32
main actors
4:34
do you know we we just had gilly and
4:36
wallow in here these guys are successful
4:38
podcasters yeah gilly was once a rapper
4:40
he still raps you know um you're able to
4:43
do different things you know if if one
4:45
field isn't working good for you you
4:46
could jump into another field and do do
4:48
something else to
4:50
enable to make you some some money to
4:52
make some sure some profit streams do
4:54
you do anything else other than acting
4:56
yeah yeah i do a lot of uh i do a lot of
4:58
side projects for sure i do a lot of
5:00
investing um
5:02
i do a lot of real estate um but you
5:04
know like like i said the money ha the
5:06
money is different it's different for us
5:08
too it's not you know it's not as as
5:11
good as it was in the 90s
5:14
that was like the golden
5:15
you know era of you know for for people
5:18
making uh films the crew included
5:21
um you know making a ton of overtime a
5:24
lot of the union stuff has has changed
5:26
probably probably not for the better
5:28
hopefully that changes back
5:30
you know at some point people say hey
5:32
you know we want to partake in some of
5:34
that pie too
5:36
i'm sorry
5:37
does it take your passion away though
5:39
from the game like do you still you're
5:41
still an artist you still love to do it
5:43
you still probably have projects that
5:45
you're passionate about but the business
5:48
side is like crazy i mean we debate
5:50
about this all the time because it
5:51
happened to music as well you know sure
5:54
but did it take your passion away at all
5:56
um i i think there's parts of the
5:58
business that are um
6:01
that you know you become
6:05
you become jaded too right you're like
6:07
man you're like do i really want to work
6:10
in this where
6:11
it's like that but then there's then
6:12
there's great moments too where you yeah
6:14
you get to tell a passion project you
6:16
get to tell a great story and it affects
6:18
people makes people laugh makes people
6:19
cry
6:20
and that feels good right yeah so i
6:23
don't know you know i think you know
6:24
good with the bad
6:26
well scott eastwood is here tracy i know
6:28
you all the way in brooklyn why don't
6:29
you throw him something i'm a live ball
6:31
yes scott if you're ready to catch this
6:33
let me tell you this is a couple years
6:35
ago i want to say maybe 2016 2017 but
6:38
you and your dad clint were on um the
6:41
cover of esquire esquire has always been
6:43
one of my favorite magazines and i
6:45
thought that you guys had such an
6:47
entertaining and powerful interview you
6:49
did together
6:50
and i want to see your thoughts
6:51
especially since now it's it's what five
6:54
six years from from that time but when
6:57
your dad was talking about being against
7:00
this quote unquote [ __ ] generation that
7:02
we're in
7:03
and the way that he described it because
7:05
he's he's still pro-pussy not to be
7:07
confused
7:11
these are these are two separate things
7:14
[Laughter]
7:15
does rise up but
7:17
he was um for anyone who's unfamiliar
7:19
with what i'm saying if you didn't read
7:20
it
7:20
just talking about um in his opinion uh
7:23
hypersensitivity that we're living in
7:25
you know cancer culture etc etc and um
7:28
how for like certain scripts maybe
7:30
people would tell them i don't know if
7:31
you want to do this because this might
7:32
ruffle some feathers and he's like no
7:34
let me read it blah blah blah and i
7:36
noticed in that article you hadn't given
7:38
your two cents do you agree with him
7:41
does it feel like
7:43
this is a time that is more censored
7:45
than ever how does that impact you as an
7:48
artist
7:51
yeah i think
7:53
i think we have a problem
7:55
uh
7:56
i think we
7:57
people want to see other people get
7:59
taken down
8:00
and i don't i don't know what that is if
8:02
that's a human
8:03
condition thing that sometimes people
8:06
want to if they're things aren't going
8:08
well in their life they want to take
8:10
people down or they want to
8:12
harp on somebody for an opinion they
8:14
have and try to you know so i think that
8:17
gets a that gets kind of slippery where
8:20
people try to take other people's
8:23
career away or you know if the state
8:26
yeah
8:26
and and yeah yeah i think that's that's
8:29
a dangerous thing and and
8:31
sure i think as you know you you want to
8:33
maybe express your opinions maybe you
8:35
know you're you're more cautious you're
8:37
like yeah you know i don't maybe i just
8:39
keep my mouth shut about everything
8:42
stay muted so are you pro [ __ ] or
8:45
what does that mean
8:47
definitely pro [ __ ] okay my man
8:50
don't need to stay muted on
8:55
well speaking of uh you know like i said
8:58
we have valentine's day coming up next
8:59
monday and uh scott you're doing this
9:01
romantic comedy and i don't want to give
9:03
too much away about the plot but um i
9:05
was just wondering you kind of touched
9:06
on dating last time you came by and how
9:08
your dad kind of messed with you on
9:09
dates and throwing out pickup lines and
9:11
that [ __ ] but right now i mean
9:13
do girls usually do you have an issue
9:15
with them looking at you from what
9:16
they've seen on screen
9:18
and then meeting them in person being
9:19
like listen
9:20
just cause you saw me in the fate and
9:22
furious and like all these other films
9:24
like you know i might not be this big
9:25
tough guy or i might not be the softy
9:27
like i need you to know me for who i am
9:29
as a person before you just make all
9:30
these assumptions of what you've seen
9:32
before you really got a chance to sit
9:33
down and talk to me like is that ever
9:35
been an issue
9:37
oh yeah i mean
9:40
the crazy thing about movies is
9:44
it's
9:46
you know
9:46
it's it's make-believe but sometimes
9:50
when people watch them
9:52
they really believe
9:54
and
9:56
uh that can be problematic um yeah has
9:59
had some uh had have had a lot of
10:02
incidents where people um are either mad
10:06
at me
10:07
because of something i've done in a
10:09
movie
10:12
or they really like me way too much
10:15
because of something i've done in a
10:16
movie so
10:18
it can get a little scary out there okay
10:21
uh are you single now
10:23
no not single
10:24
people always pause when you ask that
10:26
question
10:32
because of this you know this this movie
10:34
is about without giving up too much of
10:36
the plot you know exes who
10:38
aren't really over themselves yes and it
10:41
affects their current relationships
10:43
right yep you know and i was just
10:45
curious if you ever dealt with that
10:48
oh yeah um
10:50
look i mean i've i've read the same book
10:52
twice
10:53
you know gone back and read it i had to
10:55
had to read the ending make sure it was
10:57
the ending i remember it was a great
10:59
metaphor
11:00
[Laughter]
11:02
um dude has done media before right
11:05
[Laughter]
11:08
yeah i think it's it's an interesting um
11:10
movie in that sense it's we've i think
11:13
probably anyone who's been in a
11:15
relationship
11:16
either been like the dumpy or the dumper
11:19
and if you've been on either side of
11:21
that you know what that feels like uh to
11:23
either maybe not want to be with someone
11:25
or really want to be back with somebody
11:28
um
11:29
and that's an interesting place to um
11:31
to be in and
11:33
what this movie examines is how far will
11:36
that how far can someone go to try to
11:38
win back their ex and at what cost
11:41
and that's uh i don't i think there's a
11:43
lot of comedy in that a lot of a lot of
11:45
heart and um yeah it's just an overall
11:47
good movie heather you should talk to
11:48
him he has a company called made here
11:50
they make beer
11:52
that's true
11:54
damn it's all about the happy hour
11:55
that's why i'm walking oh hey what's
11:56
your drink of choice oh pretty much
11:58
