(rhythmic music) – Hey, guys. We wanted to pop right in before this episode of Ear Biscuits to let you know that we will not be hosting this episode of Ear Biscuits. – That’s right. Actually, Stevie’s hosting this one. – Yes she is. – And she’s interviewing Alex. We’re calling this a Crew Biscuit. – Yeah, because we’re gonna have a handful of Crew Biscuits. Take out your hand, open it up. Do it, it helps to visualize. – Vig-uh-lize. – Open up your hand, open your palm, and receive some little biscuits, some little Crew Biscuits. You can fit a handful of ’em in your hand. – Starting with this one, because we literally just ran from the set of Buddy System Season 2. – Well, I briskly walked. – Well, it’s hot out there, so I wanted to get in. – [Rhett] Okay. – And we’re gonna run back right after this, and we’re gonna keep shooting Buddy System Season 2. – I’ll walk back, too, but we’re having a great time. – I’m gonna trot. – It’s not affecting anything about us, personal appearance or anything like that. – No, not at all. – Nothing is being impacted by this season of Buddy System. We’re having a great time. It’s going very well but it is taking all of our time, plus a little extra that we don’t have. – Mm-hmm. – So that’s why we were excited about the crew stepping in and doing some Crew Biscuits. – It’s crazy though. Let’s talk about Buddy System for just a second– – Talk about it. – Just to give you a little teaser. It’s crazy. Like, I mean, every scene we do, I’m still like, they’re gonna come in and they’re gonna shut this down. (Rhett laughs) Someone, someone would sense– – We shouldn’t be allowed to do this? – Is gonna say, “Stop the madness!” – Lots of people are conjecturing about different aspects of the plot given some of the social media that has been released and also the behind the scenes videos that you can watch on the This Is Mythical YouTube channel. – Yeah. – You know what? You’re not gonna, the plot is so stupid that– – Now don’t say stupid. – (laughs) In a good way though. – Okay, good stupid? – I mean, people see an image and they’re like, well, this must happen. It’s like, no, what you think’s happening is probably not happening. (Link laughs) I’m just telling ya. – That’s great. – You gotta watch it to figure out what’s happening. – Yeah, yeah. So even though we’re so busy doing that, it was very important, the thought never crossed our mind to not put an intro on the top of this to set up Stevie and her conversation with Alex. – It was of utmost importance for us. We thought that it was almost crucial, essential that we do an intro for this. – Yeah, we would never not do an intro for this so that they would have to then do an intro without us having to do one. Having done one. – Although I will say that we will not do other intros for the rest of the Crew Biscuits. – That’s probably true. – It was very, very important for us to do this one just so you’ll know that that’s what is coming, but for the next few, we will not be doing an intro because you’re smart people. Mythical Beasts are smart. They don’t have to have everything explained to them, right? – And I think that you’re gonna gain insight into the lives of the people that we work with and that are our friend workers. They’re not just coworkers– – Friend workers. – They’re friend workers. – I just think they’re friends, Link. – No, they’re not friends, let’s be real. They’re friends because they work for us. – Yeah, but now they’ve become friends. – But we do like ’em a lot. – I mean, people become friends through different circumstances in life. You don’t have to say, well, you’re only a friend because I chose you as a friend first. – If they didn’t work for us, they wouldn’t be our friends. – I mean, you were a classmate of mine before you were a friend. – That was a joke. – It was circumstance that led us together, and it’s circumstance that has led us to the Mythical Crew. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’m not gonna call ’em friend workers. I might call ’em friendly workers. – They are very friendly when they work. – But I’m gonna call ’em friends. Friends, I’m also gonna call you friends. Enjoy this Crew Biscuit. (rhythmic music) – Welcome to Crew Biscuits, I’m Stevie. – And I’m Alex. – And today we are taking over the table of dim lighting amidst Buddy System preparation, pulling back that production curtain of magic to let you in on that little secret, if you didn’t already guess that one. I am going to now give a double intro because we’re not sure if, at this point, more production magic, Rhett and Link are doing an intro to this intro, so. – You never know, yeah. – This is in the case that they are doing an intro. – Cool. – Wow, that was a great intro. – That went well, better than expected. – And all the nice things that they said about you, about me. – That was great of them. – It was just, like, super generous and heartfelt and– – I cried, yeah, it was beautiful. – More than I could’ve asked for. – Yeah, yeah. – Okay, this is in case they didn’t do an intro. – [Alex] Okay. – (sighs) You know what I was hoping for this week on Ear Biscuits? – What, what’s that? – An intro from Rhett and Link. – Yep, yeah, which woulda been nice. – I think it woulda been great, and I think it would’ve kicked things off in a much better way had there been an intro. But because there’s not an intro– – Yeah. – Is what we’re talking about. – Sure. – Is there not an intro. – Right. – All right, I think we covered it. – Covered it, nailed it. (Stevie laughs) Like always, nailed it. – So what is Crew Biscuits, you might be asking because you didn’t put together the fact that we’re members of the Mythical Crew and we’re on Ear Biscuits. – Yep. – Well, let me just explain. I would like to start off by just talking about myself because that’s what you do when you have a guest on is that you just talk about yourself. I never have a second to talk to any Mythical Crew members. I’m physically running oftentimes. I’ve noticed I’m the only one who physically runs from meeting to meeting, but I do it, and I wanted to have a second to sit down with crew members and just talk about life and where they’re coming from, where they’re coming from (laughs), currently where they’re coming from. – I just came from the bathroom, so that went pretty well. – So, Alex, you’re my first guest. – Yeah! – Do you feel honored? – Very. Excited, nervous, sweaty. It’s gonna be great though. – Do you wanna know why I chose you as my first guest? – I do. – It’s a heartfelt moment just like the intro that Rhett and Link maybe did. – People cry on this show, and it could happen again. Let’s see. – Well, I’ve always said to you time and time again your greatest skill is just talking to people, and this is a podcast. – Yeah. Wow, first of all, thank you. That’s very nice. – You’ve talked some people into some really odd things. – Yeah, horrible, well, I don’t wanna say horrible, but some wild things, yeah. – And you’re always like, sure, I’ll call that snake charmer and ask him if he does lizards. – Yeah, you never know, I mean, until you ask. (laughs) – So traditional Ear Biscuits, we go way back. – Yeah. – I have a list of things that I know about you, facts that I know. One of the facts that I think everyone knows is that you’re from Michigan. – Mm-hmm. – You went to Michigan. – Yeah. – You love Michigan. – Yeah. – You wear a Michigan hat all the time. You have parents in Michigan. – Yes. – You have a brother who is from Michigan. – Still there, yeah. – Yeah, tell me about your family life. Tell me about Alex in Michigan. – Michigan was a great place to grow up. My whole family is still in Michigan. My sister lives in Michigan as well. She’s a nurse. I have a brother who’s a doctor. – Are we talking about city, like, urban Michigan or are we talking about cornfields? Are there cornfields in Michigan? – Cornfields everywhere. A cornfield in front of my house, a cornfield behind my house. – Are you being serious right now? – Dead serious. Cornfield to the right of my house, and a cornfield to the left of my house. Swear on my life. – Surrounded by cornfields. – I’ll show you a picture on, like, Google Maps after this. If you zoom in, it’s just cornfields and then my house. – [Stevie] Did you have anything to do with the cornfields? – No, so here’s what happened. My dad is a professor of computer science and engineering, so big computer guy, really into all that kinda tech stuff. – [Stevie] A professor at Michigan? – At Michigan State, so another college of Michigan, a rival school of the one I went to. But he’s very technologically savvy guy, but he was tired of, like, living on a college campus, I think. And so he moved to the countryside just outside of a college town. – This is pre you being born or this is like you used to live on a college campus? – Yeah, I think until I was like five or six, I grew up on a college campus, and then we moved to the countryside. – [Stevie] Okay. – Like, my dad would have drunk college students pee on our lawn and stuff. – He would have them, like, he was like– – Well, he wouldn’t be like, hey, what are you doing? (laughs) But that would happen to him, and so he was like– – I need you to come over tonight because my lawn is dry. – I need an excuse to move, and I would love for you to pee on my lawn. No, yeah, it was like he lived in the middle of a very crazy college town, and then he moved my family to the countryside. – But he continued to work at State. – Yeah, yeah, exactly. – Okay, and he’s still doing that today? – Yeah. – M’kay, living in the cornfields. – Living in the cornfield, working on computers. Like he’s, like, really big time computer guy there. Like he does, like, super computing stuff. – Did he, growing up, my dad always had, like, one of his hobbies was he had a bunch of PCs and he’d take them all apart and then he’d build, like, super computers that did, like, very random things. But was he like a hobbyist computer guy or just– – He’s, like, hardcore, like that’s his job. So he’d do, like– – We’ll cut that part. (Alex and Stevie laugh) – Like, it’s not a game to Bill Punch, you know what I mean? (laughs) He would do, like, I mean we would always grow up with, which I thought it was strange. So back in the day, you know, now everybody has computers but when I was a kid, not that many people did. – Yeah. – We had four or five in our house all the time. – PC? – Yeah, yeah. All kinds of different stuff. So it was a little bit different. But yeah, they were always everywhere around the house. – Was he like a gamer dude? – He would play, like, Flight Simulator. – Yes! – Your dad do that too? – Oh my gosh, yes. – Yeah! – That was a great game though, like– – Yeah, it’s also no joke. It’s like you’re in a cockpit. – Yeah, and like a huge joystick. – Yeah, he had the whole thing. – I didn’t think I was gonna be bringing up huge joysticks but (laughs)– – Here we are. – Here we are. (Alex laughs) – And let me tell you, my dad could work it, you know? (Stevie laughs) He really, he could really fly that thing, you know? – Yeah, I mean now I do. – Yeah, yeah, sure. – So your mom– – We’re learning about each other. – I’m guessing your mom was not into flight simulation. – No. – Okay. – I think I take after my mom a lot more. Like my dad’s very analytical, you know, kind of a more serious guy. But my mom is a school counselor, she also loves, like, talking– – What age, like what? – Elementary and middle school. So she’s always dealing with, like, children’s problems and stuff, you know? That’s her thing. – Does she have any good motivational posters in her office? – Yes! (laughs) – Yeah? – She sang this song about a volcano to us, like if you’re angry and you’re about to blow your top like a volcano– – Can you? – I don’t know it. – Oh! – I wish I did. I don’t know it. – What a tease. – I know, I’m sorry. – What a tease. – Laura Punch definitely has sang the volcano song to us. – And this is when we cut to the video of your mom singing the volcano song. – She would definitely send one in. She loves it. But no, she had, like, a lot of problem solving techniques she’d like to path– – Employ on you? – Yeah. We would always say we were being counseled, like, “Mom, don’t counsel us.” – What, so you have a brother and a sister and what’s the age difference between all of you guys? – My brother and I are like almost two years apart, like a year and three-quarters, I think. – He’s older. – Yeah, he’s older than me. And then my sister’s three years younger than me. – Okay. – Yeah, a middle kid. – [Both] Middle child. – Oh, I thought you said ew. – No, no it’s good. JFK was a middle child. – But you, middle children, it’s that people forget about them. That’s the joke. – Yeah. – So were you ever forgotten? – Yeah, I was left in a theme park. No, no. No, I mean– – They didn’t leave you at home and then they went to New York and then they were like, “Kevin!” and then they were like, “No, his name’s Alex!” – (laughs) No. No, I mean, I think there’s a unique experience to being a middle kid though, you know? You’re never, like, the center of attention ever. Think you’re always competing for it, right? – Competing with both of your siblings? – Yeah, yeah. – I’m the oldest child and my sister, I have one sister and she’s younger than I am. And I felt like growing up, my mom would, like, test things out on me. And then, like, a couple years later, she’d be like, yes, you can watch PG-13 movies or you can, like, I never got to do any of the fun stuff. Like I was always the guarded one and then my sister got to be the one that just got to do everything always. – Yeah, I think it was a thing where they’re like, they gave it a shot with my brother and they gave up on me. (Stevie laughs) And then it was like, eh. By the time my sister came around, they’re like eh, maybe we should give it a shot again, you know? But– (Stevie laughs) You know? To each their own experiences. (laughs) – But you’re close with your brother, at least. I know he just got married. – [Alex] Yeah. – And how was that? – It was wild, it was great. – [Stevie] Where was that, Michigan? – Yeah, it was back in Michigan. That was like last week? Yeah. It was great! I was my brother’s best man. – I was my best man. – I was the best man I could be at that wedding. (laughs) – I wanted to talk, one of my notes says, hold on, I need to read it directly because it’s a funny one. It says, mother dash protein starch veggie mom, question mark? Do you know what that note means? – No. What’s that about? – Growing up, I felt like my mom, like, dinner for me always included a protein, a starch, and a veggie. And it was like, a very, it’s a very, like, fifties thing to do. – Yeah. – And it wouldn’t be, like, peas as the vegetable. But like, in my mind as a child growing up, if I didn’t have those three things, something had gone wrong. My mom had, like, it had been a bad day for my mom. – Yeah. – So I think this means, did you have protein, starch, and veggies for your, like, what was your– – That’s funny. – Home life like? – Yeah, kinda. My mom would pack our lunches every day. – [Stevie] Mm-hmm. – And we would always, it’d be like a sandwich, drink, like starchy snack, and then like a sweet snack, like a pudding. – In a paper bag? – In a paper bag every day. So yeah, I guess so. – Wait, you had the same thing for lunch every day or was it like a varied sandwich situation? – It changed all the time. But it was always the same thing, it’d be like– – See, I feel like Goldfish are ruined for me. – Really? ‘Cause you used to get ’em all the time? – Yeah. I can’t. – I feel that. Yeah, I used to get, so it’d be like a sandwich and then, like, a pudding. (Stevie laughs) And then, like, some chips and then a drink. And I remember it pretty clearly ’cause like, you’d see these kids with Lunchables and stuff like that and I’d be like, that looks dope. I’m into that. – They’re so good. – Have you had a Lunchable lately? – No, but I bet they’re just as incredible. – The pizza ones, yeah, they are. – (laughs) I believe it, yeah. No, but that makes sense ’cause it’s like, like you said, we get the same kinda thing every time. – Yeah. – So I guess my mom is a starch– – I keep wanting to go like this but then my, then I’m, you know, the mic is way taller than I am. – Yeah, yeah. – And this looks weird and it looks like– – I do this too. – So I’m not gonna do it. – I read like this and it hurts my– – I’m just gonna do this. – I’ll do this. – Are we talking, like, public school– – Yeah, public school. – Or just the whole, all your schooling life? – Whole way through, yeah. But I don’t know, I think it’s probably a different experience than a lot of people because I lived in the middle of nowhere. So it was like there was only one school to go to. – Did people ride on horses to get to school? – No, but people would take their tractors to school. – They would? – Yeah. – Like in the parking lot, multiple tractors? – I think that if it was in season, they would roll up in their tractor and be like, “Hey, what’s up?” (laughs) Like, and also if it was deer hunting season, there was no point in going to school ’cause all the kids were gone. – I thought you were gonna bring tractors into it and I was like, that doesn’t seem like a good idea. – Because they were always shooting deers on the, (Stevie laughs) deerses on their tractor. (laughs) – That’s so crazy. – Yeah. – There were pickup trucks in my parking lot. – Oh yeah. Lot of those. – I remember this kid, ’cause hanging out in the parking lot in high school was like a thing– – Yeah, it was cool. – Before the bell. – Yeah. – And I remember after school one day, this kid was chasing after his friend. Like he was running and his friend was driving, I think it was like a station wagon or something. And he stopped the station wagon to be funny and the kid– – Smashed into it? – Ran through the back windshield. – Yikes. – That’s, I don’t know why I just– – And he passed away. – Brought that up. – He passed away. No, he’s okay. – Well, I mean he could’ve passed away– (Alex laughs) Like since that incident. – Oh, that’s good then. He’s okay now. – He didn’t during the incident. – Okay, good. – I would not have brought up that story but I don’t remember who the kid is and therefore, I haven’t spoken to him. So, RIP if that is– – I hope you’re doing well. – The case. – Did you have like an iconic car in high school? ‘Cause I did. – No. Let me hear about your iconic car. – So I had a ’96 Jeep Cherokee. – Is that an iconic car? – Well, mine was. – Like, what’s the def– oh. – Mine, so my car. Like I had this ’96, it was just this red Jeep. But everything was broken on it basically. So all the doors, like they wouldn’t lock. – Is this a car you asked for or is this a car that your parents were like– – No, no, it was like a hand-me-down. Me and my brother would share it. – Okay. – But none of the doors would lock. So every day I would come out of school and all of my stuff in my car would be on my roof and all the doors would be open. (laughs) My friends thought that was super funny. – That is super funny! – (laughs) But also, this is great. You know like the back windshield sprayer? – [Stevie] Mm-hmm. – Mine was broken and it would just shoot outwards and so, like, my friends would walk by and I would shoot them in the face (laughing) with my windshield wiper fluid. Yeah, it was pretty, people knew about my car. – That does sound iconic. – Yeah. Good times in that car. – I had a blue RAV4. – Ooh! – But it was not iconic. (laughs) – But that’s all it was. – That’s just what it was. – It was just a blue RAV4. – No one put stuff on my roof or anything like that. – I love that car, it was great. – Not a big car person. I feel like I’ve had the same car since 2008. – Since I’ve known you, yeah. – Yeah. You are a big car person. – Sort of. – I mean– – Sort of. – You’re a chooser of cars. – Yeah, chooser of cars– – Can we go through– – Like if you asked the specs about my car, I could not tell you a thing about it other than it’s red and the roof comes off of that thing. – But before that red Volvo convertible choice– – Oh, yeah. (laughs) – What did you call your other, you had another car– – Jamal. – Jamal, okay. Who was a who. – Who. No, you can call him a who. He had a lot of personality. – He wasn’t a PT Cruiser, he was a– – Heavily misunderstood Chevy HHR. – Yeah, okay. – But that car, I mean, that car was great here. We used to use that car for shoots all the time. – Did you go Jeep, HHR, red convertible? – Yeah. (laughs) – Okay. – We’re moving up in the world. (Alex and Stevie laugh) Broken Jeep, Chevy HHR, then I got my red convertible. – So you took the Jeep to Michigan, to the University of Michigan, or you took the HHR to the University– – I didn’t have a car in Michigan at U of M, but I got one when I got my first job after I graduated, I got the HHR. – You always wanted to go to U of M or? – No. Well it’s weird, I don’t know if I’ve talked about this a lot, but I didn’t go right to U of M right away. I was a transfer student. – No? – Yeah, I spent a year– – Oh my. – Scandal. – Please, tell us more. – I’m not a pure blood U of M guy. I went to school for a year at this place called Eastern Michigan University, which is weird. It’s like three miles from U of M but it’s also a D1 school. But it’s, oh man, it’s not as good of a school as U of M. It was a great school. I don’t know how to walk around this. – Do you think they’re watching you when you’re– – Yeah, no. (laughs) – Okay. – So it’s fine, yeah, you’re right. It wasn’t as good of a school. (laughs) But it was cool, I mean, yeah. I spent a year at Eastern. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. So like I said, my dad taught at Michigan State. I probably could have gone to Michigan State, which is also a big, you know, huge school. – And it was next to your house, well I mean– – Right next to my house. – Yeah. – It’s literally like 10 minutes away from where I grew up. But that was kinda the thing. So like, all my friends would go to Michigan State. We would go there when we were in high school still and hang out with our friends, like that’s all everybody did. So everybody kinda would do the same thing, like a lot of my friends from high school are still all best friends. And I don’t really talk to them that much. – They are watching, actually, so– – They probably are, sorry. But yeah, everyone would kinda do the same thing and I never liked doing the same thing so I went farther away. I went to Eastern Michigan University and I never even applied to U of M ’cause it’s a really good school, hard to get into. And then I transferred out after a year, I got in. – Your self confidence, I feel like you’ve grown. Your car choices– – (laughs) Have mimicked– – Match your confidence level. So, but once you were at U of M, then you decided you wanted to be in entertainment? – Yeah. Yeah, while I was at U of M, I started studying film and kind of fell into some really lucky internships and stuff like that, working on movies. I would work on, every summer I was at U of M, I would work on, like, another movie. Real movies. – You know what my favorite movie story of yours is? – Probably. (laughs) – Do you wanna talk about your screaming that you did? – My screaming, yeah. – So, sorry, sorry. I’m jumping around. But you’re at U of M, you’ve decided you wanna go into film, you fall into some good internships. Let’s maybe talk about those internships and then we’ll talk about the screaming. – Well it was weird. So right when I got to school, these huge tax breaks were coming to Michigan. Like over 55% tax break to shoot a movie in Michigan. – Okay. – So you could double your budget by just shooting in Detroit, which is like kind of a bombed out city as is. Like it’s a– – And Detroit’s listening. – But a beautiful bombed out city. It’s like World War II never stopped, but it’s beautiful there. It’s great. I love Detroit. (laughs) But anyways, yeah. So there’s these huge tax breaks. So there was tons of movies being filmed in Michigan. And they didn’t have enough people to work on them, which is crazy ’cause, like, that’s people’s dream is to work on these huge budget movies. But that summer– – What year are we talking? – 2010 and 2011. – Long time ago. – Long, long ago. (laughs) But yeah, so there was all these tons of movies shooting. And so there’d be these job postings all the time like, hey, we need people to come out. But they would never say what it’s for. They were always, like, very secretive. They didn’t want a lot of press people finding out stuff. So I applied. My first one I applied to was like, “Intern needed to assist with directors and producers.” And I was like, I could do that, probably. And then, like, I got to this random kind of office building in Ann Arbor and, like, there was a parking sign that said Parking for Wes Craven. And I was like, oh snap, this is so crazy. – I just reacted as if that was a surprise to me. Did you see that I was like– – Like who’s at the parking sign? – Oh my God, we didn’t know that. Didn’t see that one coming. – But I remember, like, that’s pretty wild, especially a kid from four cornfields around his house, to be, like, in the presence of, like, I love movies. That’s why I studied movies. And so to be around all that was crazy. I was 20 years old. – So after you saw the parking spot? – I went in and, like, they sat me down directly in Wes Craven’s office and said, like, oh, this is gonna be an internship working with his assistants and the producers of the movie, like, is that something you’re interested in? And I was like, yeah sure. That’d be great. And then kind of like one thing led to another. It’s kinda weird, but I was working on like a 55 million dollar movie in the middle of Ann Arbor, like, that summer. It was crazy. – That’s so cool. – So crazy, it was wild. – But you weren’t just working on the movie behind the scenes. – Well, no, I am featured heavily (laughs) in the movie. It’s so funny. I actually got a check for Cocky Student, which was my role in the movie. Sorry to jump ahead. But yeah. – Recently you did? – Yeah, like last week. I got a 13 dollar check in the mail. – That’s not too shabby. – No. – Like it’s been a while. – Check it out on Netflix, tell your friends to watch it as well because I think I get some percentage of the money every time people watch it. (laughs) – I guess we can’t really cut to clip. – No. – ‘Cause I would tell myself watching this that we couldn’t cut to the clip. – If you want, you probably could find it somewhere. But yeah, that’s another weird story, so. I was like, strangely, I had become sort of friends with Wes. Like he was an 80 year old man and he loved playing Angry Birds and Flappy Bird. Or not Flappy Bird, it was Doodle Jump. – Wait, what’s the difference between Angry Bird and, what’s Flappy Bird? – Flappy Bird is when you press it and then it tries to go in between, like, bars. – And it’s not an angry bird? – No, he’s a happy bird, I would say. (laughs) He loves to fly. – Oh, sorry. I’m getting this which means– – It’s the ad. This is the ad symbol. – The ad. And I’m reminded via Cody going like this how much I desire to have an ad right now. Alex, are you desiring an ad? – I would love to see an advertisement. – And then we are the advertisement– – Suspenseful. – For the video portion of this. – Yeah. – And you know what I would like to talk about? – Yeah, what? – Rhettandlink.com/store. – I’ve been there. It’s good, I love it. – We have new Good Mythical Summer merch. We have sunglasses. We have T-shirts. We have beach towels. We have so much. So many things. Alex, you seem to be pointing at your left nipple. – No. Yes. It’s a Ten Feet Tall shirt, which is also available there. – Yeah. These are available there. – They taste like butter too. Maybe. (laughs) – And other logo pocket tees. Everything your mythical heart could desire you can find at rhettandlink.com/store. That’s R-H-E-T-T-A-N-D, how do you spell Link? – It’s L-I-N-K. – Did he change it recently though? – No, he’s got great hair. But no, I think it’s the same. – Okay, L-I-N-K, how do you spell store? – Store’s like, oh God. Let’s just, can we give up? – Well I guess we’ll just cut early here. – Yeah, we’ll cut. – We’ll just cut. – We’ll cut. – Oh my gosh, that ad was so good. – Welcome back, wow! That was really good. – I can’t believe how great they were at spelling, those two. – Yeah, they were good actors too. (Stevie laughs) – Okay, what were we just talking about other than– – Speaking of acting. – Oh my gosh, that was so good. Speaking of acting, yes, your role in Scream 4. – Yes. – There’s another story that you have told me that I wanna bring up because I think that if you brought it up, it would sound like you’re name-dropping but if I bring it up, it is exciting. So, Miley Cyrus, tell me about her. – Well, okay. So after I did Scream and I had a role in Scream 4, we’ll breeze over that, I was in Scream 4. A kid was too young to do it and so they asked me to do it. – Wait, that’s not Cocky Student? That’s a different one? – That is Cocky Student. That’s, like, the story of Cocky Student. – Oh, I’m sorry, there’s more. We’ll go back to Cocky Student. Okay, so– – I was gonna do like a play-by-play. – So you can find the clip, we talked about that. And now we’re going play-by-play on Cocky Student ’cause we’re not done with Cocky Student. – Well I just, yeah. You in detention, officer? – Yeah, wanna join me? – No. So I was 20 at the time and I guess the kid that they had hired to play that had lied about his age and he was underage. And it was like a SAG project so they were like, oh, you can’t do it. And so that day, they needed somebody to replace it. And they were like, Alex, you’re not doing anything and you need to do this. And I was like, oh God, are you serious. And so I went into, like, a dark hallway with Wes and he was like, walk up and say this line to me. And I did it and he was like, “Yeah, that’s fine.” (laughs) And I was like oh, snap. And so the next thing you know, I was, like, in hair and makeup and I had, like, my own trailer for the day. Very, very wild. – I can’t remember what you looked like, but how much hair and makeup– – Crazy. – (laughs) Are we talking? – I looked insane. I was gross. I was working on the set. I remember, like, going back to the hair people and she was like, “When was the last time you showered?” (laughs) And I was like, so long. I’m on this set every day, you know that. – Wow. – Yeah, she was rude. And I had, like, really curly hair. I don’t know, it’s a wild look. – Oh my gosh, you did have curly hair. – Yeah, really curly. – But you naturally have curly hair. They didn’t curl your hair. – No, I mean, I think I was allowed to do. – Did they shower you, is that what you’re saying? They like bathed, makeup sponge bathed your body because you were so gross. – Yeah, it was gross. Yeah, I just looked crazy and then they did what they could, I think. And then I had to go do that line and it was weird. – I feel like students look unshowered. – Yeah, exactly. – Curly hair, all students have curly hair. – Yeah, but yeah. That was the story though. I had curly hair. I wasn’t hired to be an actor, I was just there. Right time, right place. I had played a lot of Doodle Jump with Wes and we were friends. – Oh sorry, we didn’t even talk about Doodle Jump. Flappy Bird, you’re in-between bars, they’re happy and they’re not angry. – Yep. – Doodle? – Doodle is just a guy who would jump. – Do I sound old and out of touch right now? – The Doodle Jumps. (laughs) No, no. Yeah, this was like early, early iPhone games. And I had just gotten an iPhone 2, like my parents had gotten me an iPhone for that movie. I was like, “I need one. “Everyone will think I’m a loser “if I’m on this movie and I don’t have an iPhone.” And so I had just gotten, like, – Doodle. – Doodle Jump on the iPhone. Wes and I had bonded over that. And then he asked me to do that part and I was in it. – You owe it all to Doodle Jumps. – Yes, it was cool. – I gave a really good teaser earlier when I just said Miley Cyrus and that’s all I said. – She’s great. – How did she come into play? This is another film that you worked on because there were not a lot of people in Michigan to work on films? Is this how this happened? – Yeah, so I killed it. You know, I’m the best guy around after I worked with Wes Craven. I’m like top notch now. There’s nobody here who had really worked on movies and then next summer came around and they were, like, looking for people again and I was like, I happen to be close Doodle Jump friends with Wes Craven. (Stevie laughs) So perhaps I could work on this film as well. So I worked for this– – That’s like the perfect cover letter. – Yeah, it was wild. So I worked for this guy named Chip Diggins on an independent movie called Love and Honor. And Chip Diggins was like a former executive of Paramount and he, like, had left there and he’s doing independent films now. – Producing or directing? – Producing. – Okay. – He was like, I think he was a higher up at Disney as well. But he was like hardcore, like I loved it. He’s like one of the best dudes ever. Like he kinda was a huge mentor to me and still is. Great, great dude. But he hired me for that movie and on that– – Intern, PA? – As his assistant– – Okay, cool. – I was assistant to the executive producer. – And you’re still in, this is like summer between you being in school? – Yeah I’m 21, so this is the next summer after Scream 4. – Okay. – And so Liam Hemsworth was the lead in that movie. This was like right after he had done, oh gosh, I almost said Twilight, which is wrong. It’s the other one. – I wouldn’t have called you out on that one. – It’s the other one, it’s with, no. Hunger Games, Hunger Games. He’s the lead– – Oh! – He’s like one of the male lead in the Hunger Games. Yeah, which is also good. We’re young. – Which, the movie is good? Hunger Games is great? – Yeah, it’s good. – Or it’s good that we know of Hunger Games. – Both. We’re smart, young, and we know about stuff. – I like Hunger Games. – Yeah, he’s Peeta or Gale. One of those two. – No, he’s not Peeta. – He’s Gale. – And I like Hunger Games to the point where I know that he’s, well maybe now I’m questioning myself. But I know Jennifer Lawrence. – Yeah. – Okay. – Oh my gosh, I totally forgot. I wanted us to have a platform to do shout-outs because I feel like we never do if we’re on GMM. – Sure. – Or, you know, Ten Feet Tall. Like I’m always on Ten Feet Tall. (Alex laughs) And I’m always thinking, you know, when am I gonna get a chance to shout-out and then, so I wanted to give a shout-out to Jennifer Lawrence. Thank you for being in Hunger Games. – Yeah. – And you’re really cool. – You seem cool. – I feel like I’ve wasted my shout-out moment. – Can I do one? – Yeah. – I wanna shout-out to Liam Hemsworth, also in Hunger Games, who is a great guy. I love that guy. – Really? – Very, very sweet dude. Was very nice to me as a young man. Appreciate you, love you and your assistant Angus. Both great people. Love you, miss you, hang out soon. – That was very personal– – Yeah. – Whereas mine was just more of an observational. – Oh, I’m sorry, yeah. I shouldn’t have done that that way. – But it’s fine. Okay, okay. So Liam Hemsworth is in it and he’s a nice guy. And you know his assistant Angus. – Yeah. Oh, his assistant Angus is the best but he’s great too. Everyone’s so fun. (laughs) But yeah, so I worked on that movie and somehow also became friends with Liam and some of the people on the cast. I was very close with a lot of the cast just because I worked pretty close with them. – Who was in the cast? – Oh gosh, oh gosh. Chris Lowell, Wyatt Russell, who’s doing very well. He was just in Everybody Wants Some. He’s Kurt Russell’s son and Goldie Hawn’s son. Who else is in that movie? Aimee Teegarden. She was in Friday Night Lights, she’s very nice too. – Wait, which one in Friday Night Lights? – She was the coach’s son in Friday Night Lights. The blonde– – She was the coach’s son? – Oh, daughter. Daughter! Oh no, Aimee, no. She’s not gonna like that. – Oh yeah. – She’s the coach’s daughter, yeah. She was great. – Yeah, Friday Night Lights is the show that I just like to have on in the background of everything. Like I’ve watched it like three times all the way through. It’s like one of the best shows in the whole world. Highly recommend. – It’s so good. – Alex plays a cocky student in– – Yes. – A couple of the episodes. – Watch! Please watch, I might get paid for that at some point too. – Shout-out to Friday Night Lights. – Yes! Oh this is good, I like shouting out. That’s gonna be fun. Okay, wow. We have teased Miley Cyrus so much. – Oh I know, I know. – So much. Okay, so I’m friends with Liam– – I can’t wait to hear this story. – Miley has just, I believe they are engaged at this point or like very close to becoming engaged. – Okay. – But, so I worked for this producer and, like, basically half my job for that summer is she just showed up to hang out. She had shot this movie with Demi Moore in Detroit the summer prior. So while I was working on Scream, she had done this movie with Demi Moore in Detroit. So she liked Michigan and liked hanging out. So she would just come and hang out on set all day. – And also her fiancée was in the movie. – Correct, correct. – Okay, I just wanted to make all those connections. She didn’t just, like, really like Detroit. – If she did though, like, would anyone tell her to leave? Probably not. They’d be like, okay. I mean, I have so many Miley Cyrus stories from that summer. But I’m not sure which one you’re talking about, to be totally sure. – Please, I would like to hear a little bit of each. – I remember this is like right before she kinda, she was a bad girl. She was still nice Miley. – Before she was a bad girl? – Yeah, she had really long hair. – Okay, publicly. – Yeah, so she had her long hair. But I remember she had gotten caught smoking a cigarette and the paparazzi, like, went crazy and put that out there. – We’re still in like Disney land. – Yeah, exactly. She got an equals sign tattooed on her middle finger and so she had, (laughs) but she had wandered off. And no one knew where she was when she was getting a tattoo and it was like my job to go find her. Like my boss had came up to me and was like, “We gotta find Miley!” Like, “Where’s Miley at?” And I was like, I didn’t know that was part of this whole thing. (Stevie laughs) But I will go find her. And so I remember running around this town called Ypsilanti very late at night ’cause we were on night shoots. And like (laughs) running all over town trying to figure out– – Excuse me. Have you guys seen Miley Cyrus? – And then, like, I finally found her at a tattoo shop and she said something like, “Hey y’all, “What are y’all doing?” Like she was very, like, oh hey, what’s up? How’s it going? Yeah, but she was cool. She was always very nice to me. – Did you like tag her when you found her? – I was like oh, no, we need to go. (laughs) Can’t be here. You can’t just be wandering around the streets of this city. – She wasn’t getting the tattoo on her middle finger though. She was getting– – Yeah, she was. – She was getting that tattoo at that moment. – I remember that very distinctly because it exploded on social media. I remember thinking to myself, like, that’s so wild that– – You were there for the moment when it happened. – Right, but also, like, she’s just wandering. She doesn’t care, she hadn’t thought this through at all. Like she just kinda went to this place and got this tattoo, which is awesome, like, cool for her. But she just made this split second decision and then it’s everywhere. Like it’s all over the news, which I remember thinking, like, oh, that’s insane. – I might be spilling things at this point. – No you’re good, you did good. – Well speaking of insane things, Alex, I also have a list of things that you’ve done– – Oh God. – Very recently. Oh my gosh, I’m gonna tease that list though. Because I wanna go back to when I first hired you. – Yeah! – Which, at this point, is like three years ago. I pulled up the email– – (laughs) Oh no. – Exchange. – Oh no, that’s not good. – From May 21st, 2014. – That’s so funny. (laughs) – I had posted for a production assistant on staffmeup.com. Shout-out. And you had answered, I emailed you back. I asked if you wanted to talk. You said, quote, absolutely, exclamation point. – Yeah. – We talked, I hired you. Previous to that, you know, we had another PA, also named Alex. – Yeah. – How do you feel about that? How did you feel at the time? – I was fine with it. I remember Link came up to me and he was, like, trying to set up my email. This is back when we did everything. There was like, what, five of us? – Yeah. This is old studio that was– – Old studio. – Like the weird apartment half, medical situation. – It was the best. – Yeah. – It was good times. But, so Link had came up to me and he was like, well, I need to set up an email for you but we already have an Alex one so I guess you can just take that one. (laughs) And I was like, oh no. – That’s like best case scenario for Link– – Yeah, he doesn’t have to do anything. (laughs) – Is hiring someone in the same position with the same name so he doesn’t have to remember the next person’s name. ‘Cause that’s like a runner joke with Link is that you’ll be like, “My name’s Alex.” And he’ll be like, “Greg.” And you’re like, “No, Alex.” – Which is so funny the first week. But year three, it’s tough. (Stevie laughs) Like it’s so rough when he comes up and says that stuff to me now. (laughs) Just kidding, he doesn’t do that very much. – Okay, so three years later. Here we are. – Yeah. – At some point, we brought Mike on. You know, you moved up to production coordinator, Mike came on as a PA. When Mike first came on, (Alex laughs) we were questioning him. (laughs) – I am so excited to talk about this. It’s great. – Because Mike was very Mike-ish at the time. – Yeah, he hasn’t changed, yeah. – So a lot of his PA duties, he just seemed, he seemed very constantly upset about everything but also– – But he’s not. (laughs) It’s so strange. – So it took a while, I think for us both, to understand– – Oh, forever. – That he wasn’t upset about things. – Yeah, so I knew. (laughs) Yeah, he’s just kind of a very dry kind of a dude. – [Stevie] Yeah. – Do you know how Mike came to be here though? You might wanna save this for your podcast with him. – No, let’s touch on it ’cause I don’t remember. I have the worst memory. I didn’t pull up that email exchange. – Yeah, I have a great email exchange with Mike. But so I hired Mike because the old Alex who used to work here had put up a posting for interns. And people on our old Facebook. – Oh. – And so that email address was up and it was like, oh, if you want to apply for this internship, you can. Just email me at Alex blank blank blank. And so his old email was mine, just like I said, like Link had done. And so people who were pretty savvy could find that post and then email me. And so Mike had– – Wait what do you mean, people who were pretty savvy? – ‘Cause you have to go way back through all those old– – Oh, Mike went like a year back onto Rhett and Link’s Facebook page? – More than that, yeah, yeah. Exactly. – Wow. – And somehow found that email from the old Alex and then had emailed me asking about internships. But in his email, he included a script starring both Rhett and Link which he will hate me for finding. – Oh my God. I totally remember that. – Which I bet I could find. – I remember you telling me about that. – And it was insane. It is like the most insane script. But Mike can tell you about it when he comes on. But it is like– – Yeah, oh my gosh. I’m so excited. – It’s genuinely, like, the most insane– – Didn’t we read it out loud in the office? – Yes, heck yeah, we all read it. And I was like– – Just like all that fanfic that we read? – Yeah, we read it. But it was nuts. And I was like, this is so insane. And everyone was like no, don’t call that dude. Like that’s insane. And I was like no, we have to. – But at the time, we probably didn’t have a lot of interns applying. – No, we were looking. – Yeah, and we needed interns. – We were looking. – It wasn’t just like we got a million emails being like, can we work there. It was like– – Yeah. And I remember laughing so hard and then I brought Mike in a week later and then he was– – But was that a joke? – What? Bringing him in? – The script. (Alex laughs) It wasn’t a joke. – Yeah, it was a joke. I mean, it was very clearly way over the top and very Mike. Like I know Mike now, so I understand what he was doing. But back then, I was like this is hilarious. This is absolutely insane. Like I have to just see what’s going on with this person. Which we did, essentially– – Which we did. We like kept checking in on him being like, wait, I think he might be miserable. – Yes! – I think he might hate everything we’re asking him to do. – Yeah, he had a horrible time when he first moved here. I know there was like so many things going wrong. But he’s a very– – Oh yeah, his car got broken into– – His car got broken into– – On one of our first shoots. – And it broke down, the transmission broke. I mean he didn’t have a place to live. – And he didn’t have, like, a mattress for a while. – Right, he was sleeping– – We’ll save this for the Mike Crew Biscuit. But my point bringing up Mike is that, like, you guys are real life best friends at this point. – Yeah. – And so there was a transition between getting that email with that script that was ridiculous and then thinking that Mike literally hated everything. And then to where we are today, I mean. So you guys started working, really started bonding on the Mythical Crew. – Yeah, yeah. Yeah, at a point, like, Mike, it’s so strange to think about now because, like, we do everything and we’re partners– – You’re roommates. – We’re partners in like every aspect of our life. – It’s okay, you can say partners. (Alex laughs) – We’re friendship partners and business partners and all kind of partners in every aspects of our life. – But you didn’t have to say all kinds of partners because that kind of, you know, opened the doors a little bit more. But that’s fine. – No, but at one point Mike worked for me, like directly for me. I would tell Mike what to do every day. Like, you know, and it’s weird to think about. Like it’s just so far. At one point, his role kind of changed and it’s like we were just splitting everything 50-50 with what we’re doing. And now that’s what we do anyways, so. – Yeah. – It kind of developed slowly. But yeah, we started doing the crew stuff and like that’s where, I guess, we discovered our friendship. – I have a list of things that I’d like to bring up that you did on Good Mythical Crew just to, because I feel like I was recently looking at the playlist about, like, an hour ago. (Alex laughs) And it’s funny to me the things that you’ve done. – Yeah. – Including you got your blood sucked by a leech. – My worst fear. The only fear I have. – Really? – That’s all I’m scared of was leeches. – But now that you’ve done it, it’s still a fear? – Yeah, I don’t really care. – Okay. Look at that. – It hurt. But that’s like the only thing. – I will check that one off this list. – People would ask me, like, when we were trying to do this show they were like, what are you scared of? And I was like, leeches, I don’t mess with leeches, man. And it’s true. I still don’t like ’em but that was like my biggest fear. – The weirdest thing about that to me was that it was in that woman’s house. – Yeah, that was insane. – Like that’s the scariest, that’s the scariest part. – She was like, you’re not gonna. Yeah, she was scary. I don’t know. – She was great though. – Yeah, she was great. – She was great. – Another great person. – And we appreciate her. – And we love her. – Shout-out to her. – Shout-out to leech lady. – You built a cheese baby fountain. – Yeah, that was awesome. – I think in that episode, you reveal it to me. – Yeah and you were like, aw, we can’t use that. (laughs) – No! I was genuinely– – You were impressed. – I was genuinely impressed by your ability to build that baby peeing cheese. Or was the baby puking cheese? – Puking, puking cheese, yeah. – In my memories– – It all blurs together. – It was peeing cheese. You spent a full day gathering horse poop. – Yeah, yep. I think we’ll leave that one. (laughs) I think we were, like. See, back in the day, we used to do stuff with real reckless abandon. So we were like, let’s go to a ranch. We’ll run around there and we’ll steal some horse poop and then run off. And that’s what we did. – I like that you said back in the day as if, like– – It was like a year, I know. – Ten Feet Tall is not exactly that. – Yeah, it’s the exact same thing. – Like we looked at the horse poop episode and we were like, that. More of that. – That’s pretty much what it is. – This one, I feel like there was a boundary that might’ve been crossed in this particular. – Oh, I know what it is. – Really? That’s a long, I mean, it could be anything but you drank L.A. river water and you went into the river. – Yeah, I swam in it nude. – Yeah. – And I exposed myself. – Yeah, there was some blurring that had to be done. – Yeah. – Shout-out to those editors. – Shout-out to those editors. – Shout-out to whoever did that. – AKA it was Ben. – No, I think I remember Matthew being– – He passed it off. – Matthew was not into, he was like, whoever had to blur it was upset with me. Understandably, I get it. – That was not safe. – (laughs) No. – You wore a diaper to a Power Rangers convention. – Yeah, that was good. People need to watch that more. It was good. – That particular episode? – Yeah, oh God, it was– – You’ve just been, like, monitoring all the episodes? – Yeah, that’s a good episode! – It is a really good one. – People need to see that, it’s good. – You took a miniature horse’s temperature. – Rectally. – Rectally is the part I was implying. But we’ve since worked with those miniature horses, so I feel like that’s not as big of a deal. – No, we’re cool now. – I should have started with that one ’cause that one doesn’t seem as bad anymore. – No, yeah, they’re great. Girl, the mini horse people, sorry to keep doing shout– – Did you say girl? – Girl, those are great! – Girl, the mini horse people. – I said those guys are great. – Yeah, the woman or the horses? – All of them. – What’s the woman’s name? – Jean. – Jean. – She’s awesome, shout-out to her. Those people are for real amazing. – She is really amazing. – They’re great. – And then, for some reason, last on my list ’cause there’s a whole long list and if you guys have not watched all of the old Good Mythical Crew episodes, you have got to. Shout-out to those episodes. And we’ll touch more on Ten Feet Tall, but I also, we were in my office looking for something to do that was related to Jean and that episode. The episode was about hot dogs. (Alex laughs) And I Googled and happened people swallowing whole hot dogs and you attempted that. – Yeah. – Which, like, there’s some times when I’m reviewing your episodes where I literally tear and cry from laughing so hard. And it’s always when you’re struggling. – (laughs) I know. The struggle is so real. Like it’s so hard. – Did you get him down? – I got one of the baby one’s down. But I also projectiled one out with like the wildest noise ever. It was like, ah! That was a scary episode. There’s a lot of iterations of that episode but that’s where we got to and it was great. – Yeah, yeah. Speaking of scary, I mean, let’s talk a little bit about Ten Feet Tall. – Yeah. – At the time that this comes out, we will be really shooting Buddy System even harder. – Yep. – Which I was supposed to, I don’t even know how much I touched on. I said that we’re shooting Buddy System, but gosh. Boy, is there a lot going on. – Yeah, so you are just a blur. I know we talked about you running– – Yes. – But it’s true. – It’s true! Ran in here, gonna run out of here. – Yep, (laughs) you are. – But one of my favorite Ten Feet Tall episodes that came out fairly recently, little bit further back by the time this comes out, is the teddy bear episode. – Yeah. – And based on that episode, we’ve come up with other fighting based episodes. So those episodes are gonna be out around this time. You got shot in the nethers. – The nethers. – And you also hurt your hand being shot at by another ball. – Yeah. I notice this stuff never happens to Mike though. Isn’t that weird? Isn’t that so strange how that happens? (both laughing) Bizarre. But literally, every time. Horribly, bad stuff happens to me. But it’s good– – You recover. – You know, it’s fun. – You always recover. – And we’re always safe. People used to talk about how we do stuff around cars. Yeah, maybe that’s not safe. That’s not good. We shouldn’t do that stuff. – Getting lucky. We’re getting really lucky every time we shoot something, – So far so good. – Yeah. The point of me saying what my favorite episode has been as of late was to ask you what your favorite episode has been and or what you’re looking forward to and just talk a little bit more about Ten Feet Tall and all that. – Yeah, we talked about Mike and I’s friendship. And that show all has like blossomed out of our friendship. And like, we’re very strange. I think people probably have caught on to that And so we’ve been given the go-ahead to just basically do whatever. Would you agree with that? It’s just like, you know, within reason, you know? – I mean, yeah. I still just check out, you know, like can you do this video? – Oh yeah, yeah. – Yes you can. – Yeah. – Let’s look at the story leads. Okay. Let me approve this video before it goes out. What’s the title thumbnail? But yeah, I mean pretty much whatever you want. – Yeah, yeah, like within some reason. But that’s like an amazing opportunity. Like that’s crazy. Like people don’t get to do that. But I don’t know. My favorite episode is probably, I think I like the teddy bear one too. – You just were having so much fun. That’s why I liked it so much. – It was so fun. And our process for that episode was like, oh we’ll get ’em and we’ll figure it out. It’s like when you have that much leeway to kind of figure it out on your own and, like, you’re working through it with your friend. It’s awesome, it was so fun. Like we did not have beated out, I’ll throw a trash can at Mike. We didn’t have the fact that Mike was gonna throw a dummy at me. It’s insane the stuff that we did. And it was so fun. And that’s kind of, you know, we’re trying to find our way still, I think, and that’s kind of the thing that we’re moving forward with. It’s like we have fun together and when we get to be wild and be ourselves, that’s the best episodes, I think. – Yeah. I mean when we were first talking about transitioning away from Good Mythical Crew and starting this whole new show, we had a couple meetings where we were like okay, what are the, let’s come up with some episode ideas. And they have to have this criteria. And Rhett and Link and I were sitting down and we’re like, what do we want to see Mike and Alex do? And there was kind of a, it was very hard for us to think of things for you guys. So then when we sat down with you guys and we were like well, what do you guys think is funny? And what do you wanna do? – Hot dog stands. (laughs) – Yeah, and then the next time you came back and talked to us, you had like a list of 30 ideas that we would have never thought of and we were like yes, yes, yes. That’s very Mike and Alex. – Yeah. Well you guys know us very, very well at this point, especially you, Stevie. I’m old school at this place at this point– – You are, yes. – Which is crazy. – Your email’s even older than you. – (laughs) It’s true. I sent it in vitro, I don’t know, in the womb? – No, your email address. Alex, because of the other Alex. – Oh yeah, yeah, that’s right. – We had just covered that earlier. – I thought you meant I wasn’t born yet, which doesn’t make any sense. – No. (Alex laughs) That’s not what I meant. Well Alex, thank you so much for being my first guest on Crew Biscuits. – Yes! – At the end of Ear Biscuits episodes, guests get to sign the table. I want to extend that same courtesy to you. Unfortunately, I’m gonna have to ask you to sign underneath the table because that’s where I feel like the Mythical Crew should be signing. – Yeah. – You understand. – No, yeah, I get it. – Yeah, so– – Harley Morenstein takes up a lot of room, so it’s like, you know. – And he might be coming back. And we need another space for him to take up equally the same amount of room and– – Shout-out to you, Harley. – Final shout-out? – Maybe final. I’m kinda bummed I wasted it on Harley but (laughs) great guy still, though. Love you. – All right, I’d like to watch you do this. – So much harder than you think it is upside down. – You notice another signature under there, right? – Yes, the old Alex. (laughs) But he wasn’t asked to sign, right? – I don’t know the story of that. – Oh, I do. – ‘Cause I remember we were moving this table in and saw the old Alex had signed underneath. – (laughs) Yeah. I don’t know if it– – What is it? – I mean, Ben had told me that he had asked him about it and he was just like yeah, that was my final goodbye. So we probably can’t keep that in the episode. – What, no!
