	Today's guest is an actor, one of the greats of our time, some people would say.
	You may know him from some of his many films, Whiplash, War Dogs, Top Gun 2.
	And he has a new movie, Eternity, that comes out November 26th.
	It'll be in theaters.
	You can go check it out.
	I've met him before, and I'm grateful to sit down and spend time with him today.
	He's a one-of-a-kind.
	Today's guest is Mr. Miles Teller.
	And where's your home base?
	My home base is Nashville.
	Okay.
	Yeah, our sister-in-law or Kelly's sister, my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, they just moved to, I think they bought a spot in fucking Troubadour.
	Oh, yeah, dude.
	Remember, that's the first time I met you was over there, yeah.
	You and your wife, I met you out there with Stelly?
	Yeah, Will Stelly.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, that was cool.
	He's an LSU boy, too.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And Todd is awesome.
	Yeah, I saw Todd last week.
	He's such a fucking, he invited me to the Ryder Cup with him.
	I couldn't go, but he's just awesome.
	Todd Graves.
	He's a great dude.
	Yeah, he's an interesting guy.
	You know, he owns a triceratops head.
	He owns that.
	He owns one.
	He lent it to the museum in Louisiana.
	I mean, just obviously the skull.
	Yes.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	That's cool, though.
	Yeah, good call.
	I would pay somebody to fucking realistically fill that bitch in.
	Oh, dude.
	Well, especially like, you'll see a lot of perverts will be like, oh, look at the tits on that.
	I'm like, those are horns, you idiot.
	Are we talking right now?
	Yeah.
	Is this real?
	We can be, or we can start over.
	Okay, no, dude.
	I'm all good.
	I just had no idea.
	But yeah, you'll see people just hang Mardi Gras B's and stuff on it.
	In Louisiana, people just don't give a shit.
	Wow, wow.
	But yeah, I just saw Todd the other day, dude.
	Where does he keep it?
	There's like a museum over there.
	Oh, wow.
	So it's like a Louisiana museum.
	So there's like, you know, the stuff they, the artifacts they keep in there are a little bit different, like a beer bottle, you know, or like shit that's just a little bit more Louisiana.
	Like a family.
	I mean, I grew up a lot of my, half my life, I grew up in central Florida.
	So I imagine it would be similar kind of museums.
	Yeah.
	With like Daniel Toss was down there?
	Was Tosh popping when you were?
	Well, yeah, but also like the Daily Show came to my county twice when I was growing up.
	The one is because they have a Cooter Festival, which is a type of turtle.
	And then the other, a Cooter.
	It's like a type of turtle.
	Bring up that Cooter.
	Bring up that, yeah, flash up that Cooter.
	And then the other one, it was like Ed Helms came because the town next to mine banned the devil from coming into the town.
	And it was the town of Inglis, like some pretty backwoods, like Citrus Counties where, you know, I went to middle school, high school.
	Bro, that's amazing that they, first of all, this is, oh, it looks like Cooter Tober just happened.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	They're really kind of, I guess, branching out.
	You could probably do it for every month.
	Anything that ends in an R, I think you're here, dude.
	A Cooter Tober.
	Yeah.
	That sounds pretty wild.
	Cooter Tober is back, it says.
	Apparently, it was discontinued for a bit.
	A whole month of Kuderific fun inverness, Florida.
	Let's go.
	Shout out.
	This year we're returning with all your favorite events like the Cooter Carnival, Small Town Saturday Night Cooter Comedy.
	And, oh, that's great.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And that's the Cooter Turtle.
	Yeah, that, yeah, that is.
	Yeah.
	They must not have discovered it for a while or they must not have given it.
	They must not have celebrated as much because it didn't.
	I remember that they didn't start like Couder Fest until like I was, I don't even know if I was still in high school.
	I might have been out of high school.
	So it took a while.
	I wonder how it even got that name because I've heard of people using like kind of goats.
	Well, goats for like bestiality, but if they were, if this would be the worst thing to try to invade a species, you know.
	Like, yeah, did some, yeah, how did it get its name?
	How did the Cooter Turtle get its name?
	The Cooter Turtle got its name from the African word kuda, which means turtle in the Bambara and Malinke languages.
	The word was brought together.
	Yeah, so it was, yeah.
	Originally it was CUDA.
	Cuda.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Kuda.
	Yeah, Couda fist.
	Hey, boy.
	Come on down a Couda fist.
	I just saw a woman with, they have a woman that has two Cudas, actually.
	I saw she's on TikTok the other day.
	There's a woman.
	What?
	Now are you.
	Now I'm talking about the anatomy.
	Now I'm changing it.
	So you want to hear.
	Okay.
	No, go.
	Yeah, go.
	There is a woman who has two vaginas that's on TikTok.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	She sent a DM the other day to me.
	How many DMs did she send?
	One of each, one from each.
	Dude, dude.
	She sent replica DMs.
	That's insane.
	So can I tell you a story?
	Yeah.
	So I'm at my boy's wedding, and he's from Ohio.
	We're at the reception down the after reception.
	We're all just hanging out in the hotel room.
	And the one dude's like, yo, do you remember?
	You remember that girl went to high school with with two vaginas?
	And he's like, dude, you're talking about Cheryl.
	And then his other buddy's like, yo, double barrel Cheryl.
	And I just thought that was the funniest fucking nickname I've ever heard in my life.
	Double barrel Cheryl.
	I was like, that's got to go in some American Pie type movie.
	Just double barrel Cheryl.
	So as soon as we started talking about that, I was like, oh, I have one.
	Put her in a museum.
	Apparently she used to say, like, this one's for my boyfriend.
	I'm saving this one for my husband.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's kind of beautiful.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, right?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Because I would just, I would, if I had both, dude, you'd blow them both in the back.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly, dude.
	No, I'd be like, I'm saving this one for after dinner or whatever.
	I would definitely, dude.
	This is the dessert.
	This is my after dinner one.
	A.M. P.M.
	Yeah.
	That's it, dude.
	Like the gas station 24 hours.
	Yeah, this is running all night, dude.
	This is my morning one.
	And this is my evening one.
	And one has like tattoos around it and stuff.
	And the other one is a bit more like back.
	Classy.
	Classy.
	Yeah.
	A little bit more upscale.
	Upscale.
	Upscale.
	Leave a Yelp review.
	This one's closing in on five stars.
	This is the other one.
	You know what that one is.
	Yeah.
	And the other one for some reason is 3.8 stars.
	You're like, both viable options.
	Pretty good.
	Look.
	I'll pull up a chair.
	Go back to that one.
	No, that's double barrel is a great thing.
	Double barrel Cheryl, dude.
	Wow.
	We weren't fortunate enough to get a woman like this in our area.
	Let's see what she says here.
	I was born with two vaginas, two uteruses, and two stabixes.
	There was no join from my mouth to my stomach.
	And that instead, my food part was connected into my air part going into my lungs.
	Okay, the music is tough.
	I feel like our tone should have been a little different when we were talking about deal with.
	Oh, I can't even imagine.
	Even if I had two penises, I would yeah, I don't know.
	Oh, well, that would be very tough if you were, especially like when you're in high school and stuff and your body, you're going through purbity and whatever, and you're getting erection in high school.
	I would erections.
	Yeah.
	Unless they operate different frequencies.
	Yeah.
	You know what I'm saying?
	It's like AMF.
	That's like an antenna.
	Like, that's that's like, there's no hiding that.
	You got, you got two radar rock, dude.
	But if you could time them out, you know, as soon as the one's done, other boy.
	Like a pentameter?
	Yeah, drummer.
	Like NASA, like your, one's just getting the tires, you know, warmed up.
	Yeah.
	The other one's like, you know, doing a hot lab.
	Yeah, dude.
	I think if you well, you said like drummers?
	Yeah, it'd be like that, a cool pentameter kind of thing.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, the Grateful Dead has two drummers.
	Do they?
	It's the best.
	You have their shirt on.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You went to their, I saw you went to their 60th.
	I did the San Francisco.
	I, yeah, I mean, I've seen them at the sphere.
	I've seen kind of this iteration Dead and Co for, I think, pretty much since John started.
	But yeah, they're my John Mayer.
	Yeah, John Mayer.
	But even before that, I was seeing some different versions of them and Bob Weir and Phil Ash kind of independently.
	But yeah, it's the best.
	Honestly, like when our house burned down, like the thing that I was probably one of the things I was most upset about was all of these vintage Grateful Dead shirts, but that community is so awesome.
	I don't have Instagram or anything, but they reached out to Kelly and were like, hey, you know, Deadheads, they were like, we feel so bad for you guys.
	And we know if our house burned down, we would really miss those shirts.
	Can we send you some from our own collection?
	So a bunch of people shout out to you.
	You know, just send me shirts.
	It's such a loving community.
	I feel like all those bands from that era, especially the dead, who really kind of supported everybody, their crowds were rainbow colored before anybody's.
	You know what I mean?
	If that makes sense.
	Wow.
	So people just sent you different ones.
	Is that one of them?
	No, this one I think I got up in San Francisco.
	Oh, that was the spread.
	That was just for like three days, but I was like, I don't know what pants I'm going to wear.
	You know what I mean?
	Oh, that's for when you went to a show.
	For San Francisco, there were three nights.
	So I just took them all out.
	It's kind of the only stuff I post about is like, yeah, even my, I guess my bio quote, or I mean, that's a Jerry Garcia one.
	That's great, dude.
	My brother has a big Jerry Garcia tattoo on his chest.
	Does he?
	He loves him.
	Yeah, we got to go together, actually, and see them at the sphere one time.
	Our producer, Zach, went and saw them, I believe, for two nights in San Francisco.
	Yeah, Zach?
	Yeah, I was up there.
	I was all three nights, actually.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	I thought, yeah, I mean, they're all amazing.
	Sturgil, I thought Sturgil was sit-in.
	Sturgil is exceptional.
	I mean, I just think overall, Saturday, Saturday night was kind of the best.
	It's hard because you can look at the set list, but usually at least one of those weekend shows, they just catch lightning in a bottle.
	And I think that's the beauty of the band is that you're never going to hear the same song twice, but because it's so improvisational and they're on the ride with you.
	You know what I mean?
	To play music at that level, and they are, there's such, I mean, the skill set from all those guys is so high, but it's just fun, dude.
	I dance my ass off too.
	People think it's like you're just high and just sitting there.
	It's like, no, that music makes me boogie, dude.
	Yeah.
	Like, I love it.
	I love it.
	If you're not sweating, you're not trying either.
	I think maybe some of that's the Florida thing, but it's like, I grew up with a thin layer of sweat all over my body all the time.
	It makes you feel alive, dude.
	Oh, in Louisiana, you can't even land a handshake with people.
	If it's humid day, you'll see people trying to land a handshake for fucking 30 seconds, 40 seconds.
	They'll just give up on the friendship.
	They'll go their separate ways.
	It's just, that's the kind of place it is, man.
	Yeah, I always say it's like, yeah, you have a thought and you're sweating.
	Yeah.
	You know what I mean?
	But that air, too, like when you get off the plane, because we would always fly into Tampa.
	Like, you get off that plane.
	It's just a huff.
	It's just a thick air, dude.
	Yeah, it feels like the air has a little bit of an infection, to be honest with you.
	When I feel that like air at night, it just makes me feel like mischievous because when I was like all those teenage years, just sunsets, you know, get on a bike, just figure out some shit to do in your neighborhood.
	Like that air just makes me kind of relapse, I guess.
	It makes, dude, there is something about it.
	Like, there's something about, I even think about this.
	Like, if you ever stay at a, if you're ever at a place that doesn't have air conditioning, right?
	Like at first, you're like, most of Europe, dude.
	You're like, this sucks.
	But then I feel like your dreams and everything is more acclimated to the actual climate of whatever's going on, right?
	And I always feel like I get like I have like more imaginative or creative dreams whenever I'm in a place that doesn't have air conditioning for some reason.
	But yeah, that south, dude, that shit hits you hard.
	Dude, you do dance, man.
	I noticed, I remember this now.
	I think, I don't know if we were at, it could have been like marshmallow, maybe.
	It was one night we were both in Las Vegas after a UFC fight.
	Okay.
	And maybe it was chain smokers or something.
	It might have been that one when Ed Sheeran was there.
	I don't remember.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	But you were like, you dance, dude.
	Even if you're just by yourself, you are doing your own thing.
	It's like some people would think like, oh, Miles Teller, like he's just going to be like this cool guy.
	And he just like flew his jet in there, his fucking mock 70 jet.
	Southwest.
	Yeah.
	They just, but I mean, he flew his top gun plane in there.
	He's going to sit like, you know, dude, I love it.
	You have your own time.
	That's what it feels like.
	Yeah.
	It's like you decide that I'm going to have a good time for me.
	And it almost like inspires like, God, I wish I could be that free.
	Well, I heard, I think you're pretty free.
	I think you're a pretty free fucking dude.
	You know, just from I just wish I could dance better.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's what I mean.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	I think, I don't know.
	And somebody, I heard something a while back, and it's not something I like think about, but they were like, you know, if you're having a party or you're a group of people, you're not sure everybody, they said like the number one way to kind of try and have everybody make everybody have a good time is just start, just have a good time yourself.
	And I think that, but also I've just always like rhythm, yeah, dancing.
	That's something I've just always kind of got down with.
	Like that's how I, I, I just, yeah, I love it.
	But yeah, any, I mean, that DJ music, um, but I like Bob Seeger, like classic rock gets me, gets me going, dude, let alone if there's, you know, some rock piano.
	I love that shit.
	Yeah.
	Um, yeah, dude, some good jazz.
	I like my mom came in town recently.
	We went and listened to some blues.
	She likes to do that.
	I went and listened to you.
	Would you, did you go somewhere for blues?
	We went to this blues place in Nashville.
	It's just like in Printer's Alley.
	It's a, I think it's kind of a, it's a bit of a touristy spot kind of, but I think we're just having trouble finding a spot.
	And so we went and we had a great time.
	It was actually a guy from New Orleans that was playing.
	And so we just sat there and had and just had a nice time.
	She likes to listen to it.
	It's funny as my mom gets older.
	She almost turns into a child a little bit.
	And there's moments where it's almost like it's a kid there, you know, but like just like in an older body.
	Like what just the fascination, the kind of it feels new to her, kind of.
	That's a good question.
	It's like you can just see on her face she's having a good time.
	It almost feels like pure and some innocence to it.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	That's great.
	It's almost like.
	How old's your mom?
	She's 77.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So she's an adult.
	So it looks a little bit like Willie Nelson.
	Let's see if it drove her.
	She's not going to want to hear that part.
	She looks a bit like Willie Nelson.
	Oh, hell yeah.
	She's awesome.
	Dude, I love that.
	She listens to every episode of this.
	Oh, great.
	So it's what's her name?
	Her name is Gina.
	What's up, Gina?
	There you go, mom.
	Miles is married, mom.
	Calm down.
	What's your mom's name?
	Mary.
	Mary?
	Yeah, like Christmas.
	Emmy Art Art Y.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	And they did that on purpose?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	She was born like December 15th.
	It's close.
	But she gets like, so it's not Mary.
	And my mom's like, my mom's like best friend.
	My mom says she's like the only one who pronounces her name correctly.
	And it's Memory.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Memory.
	And then some of the, I just remember like some of the like, not, they're not your uncles, but like these guys live in the neighborhood and they just all seem like kind of pervy.
	Yeah.
	You know?
	Oh, guys that loiter or whatever.
	Yeah, they were like family friends and shit, but just some based on the money.
	I don't know.
	I just feel like when I watch these old home videos, it's, you'll just hear some, you're like, whoa, that was pervy as shit, dude.
	So they'll say like, Memory, then they'll go, all right, can't do it.
	Luga, luggal, luggal, luggal, luggal, lugga.
	Yeah, that's gonna, that's gonna raise a few flags.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Wow.
	Mary.
	Memory.
	Yeah, that is nice.
	What does your mom do for work?
	Does she work?
	She was, uh, she did real estate for a while, but yeah, no, not working.
	My dad actually retired.
	He just retired a couple years ago.
	He was born in 54, so 71.
	I think he retired pretty close to 70.
	And are they enjoying, has it gotten weird for them since they're both retired?
	Because, you know, some couples, it gets weird because they're both at home and stuff.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	I mean, yeah, I don't know.
	You know, I don't know.
	I mean, I see a good amount, but I'm sure.
	Yeah, I know my dad likes doing like outside work.
	Oh, yeah.
	You know what I mean?
	A lot of guys, the second they realize that they have to be in the hat, like when the retirement happens, like, oh, God, there's nowhere to go.
	Yeah, you need to put it hobbies, dude.
	My stepdad built like 40 birdhouses in our house.
	Oh, that's cool.
	He did not want to be.
	Just the building.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Just never, did he ever put them on?
	I mean, some of them he did.
	Yeah.
	He also, he got the one the helmet.
	He's going back to a 14-year-old in shop class.
	I guess that's kind of the he was building doghouse.
	We didn't even have a dog.
	I think he just wanted to be, he still needed some time alone.
	Yeah.
	You know?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So I think there's that.
	I mean, I don't have kids yet, but I imagine, you know, yeah, because growing up, my dad would, you know, he'd be like working on the pool or something, or just be fiddling with stuff in the garage for like hours.
	I don't, I have no idea what he was doing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's got to be cool dad stuff.
	I bet it'll be cool whenever you're kind of tinkering.
	I just want to tinker.
	You know what I mean?
	I could tinker for days, dude.
	Let me get out here.
	Let me start collecting something weird, too.
	My buddy's dad collected all these toy trains and stuff.
	And whenever we'd go over there, he'd have to set it all up, dude.
	It would take we just around the holidays around Christmas or something?
	I think it was anytime he started to lose his mind.
	And he would just set that bitch up in June, you know?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And he'd have to set, and he'd have to do the train.
	And it was just like, you want to support your friend's parents, but it was just a lot.
	It was a lot.
	It's a lot to watch somebody do the toy train a lot.
	I had this bus driver growing up.
	His nickname was Fingers because he was missing a couple of them.
	Thankfully, that's the reason why.
	Because there's a bus full of kids.
	Fingers, fingers.
	Yeah.
	And he'd always point at you with the nub.
	Oh, yeah.
	But he had this belt buckle because we're just talking about collecting weird shit or whatever, but he had this belt buckle that looked like he had hand glued on like silver dollars.
	And so it's just like 20 silver dollars.
	I thought it was cool as shit when I was a kid.
	Oh, dude, the stuff you thought was cool when you were a kid was so great, dude.
	Yeah, even like you said earlier, like, I remember I was talking about this the other day whenever, like, the sun, like if you were playing in the street with your friends and it was like somebody was pitching the ball, you're like, one more pitch, but the sun was setting.
	You'd be like, dude, just one more.
	Like, you knew you were going to try to hit a home.
	Like, it just, the game, it did, it wasn't even, it was just like just these moments when you were a kid.
	Everything was so severe.
	And if you rode your bike at night, just anything like that, it was so just riding a bike.
	Like, Jasmine, I think the beauty, you know, just riding bike in general, man, it just brings you back to that.
	I got, I knocked myself out once playing this game.
	I got a bunch of concussions when I was younger, but my sister just graduated like sixth grade.
	I was probably in fourth grade.
	So like I was trying to come up with a game.
	So we grabbed a basketball and like an aluminum bat.
	And we're like, I will play basketball.
	So she pitched it.
	I hit it the first time.
	You know, it's like ding.
	It's like, all right, I got to grip it tighter.
	Second time, fucking metal bat with a rubber ball, dude.
	I fucking swung it, ding, knocked myself out.
	My parents actually, they were saying that like the teachers in my school were thinking that my parents were beating me because I would come in like once a week or two, just like shiner, like concussion, dude.
	And I had that little surfer cut.
	So I would try and just cover the fucking tennis ball with that.
	Waves are ten.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Wow, gnarly, gnarly swell today, boys.
	Bitcoin just hit an all-time high, which is pretty wild considering that it was just trading at around $60,000 last year.
	When I need more Bitcoin, Moon Pay is always the first app that I open because it doesn't force you to buy a whole coin and it's super easy to use.
	Moon Pay is actually one of the biggest partners on this show.
	And I'm excited to share that I've made the decision to accept my compensation from them in Bitcoin instead of US dollars.
	I'm planning to hold and save that Bitcoin in my Moon Pay account.
	Indeed, the Bitcoin will sit in a digital Moon Pay wallet that nobody can access except for me.
	The US dollars continue to fluctuate in value.
	So by making this decision, I'm diversifying my portfolio and hopefully earning more from our partnership than I would have otherwise.
	Remember, while Moon Pay makes buying crypto straightforward, it's essential to do your own research and understand the risks involved.
	Crypto trading can be volatile and you could lose your investment.
	Moon Pay is a tool to facilitate your transactions, not a source of financial advice.
	Trade responsibly.

	Dude, I can't believe.
	Yeah, you mentioned, I forgot that you guys lost your, you lost your home.
	Was that your and I was filming a movie in London and our, we had a house in Studio City and that house got robbed while I was filming.
	And so I thought I was just going to like, I thought we'd go back after filming, kind of bump up security measures, refortify.
	And Kelly's like, no, she's like, they, you know, they go through all of her stuff.
	And it is, it's a very violating feeling.
	So then we bought that Palisades house.
	And honestly, I would say it was the first kind of neighborhood in LA where my wife, A, felt really safe.
	And then B, would be like excited to go back to LA whenever we'd be filming.
	I never heard her say that in like the 12 years we'd been dating.
	And yeah, we like worked with some designers.
	My wife like really designed so much of it.
	And I had this feeling last night because we're in this rental, you know, obviously we've been in rentals.
	And I was just laying in bed.
	I was like, man, this, you know, we're in a, the place we're in is, you know, it's a nice place.
	We don't have to worry about the, you know, the water, the air, the, you know, it's really well done.
	But at the same time, it just, it fucks with your mind when you can't look around at any point and see anything that reminds you of your life.
	You know, everything is just, there's no attachment to anything.
	Oh, that's literally my fucking house.
	I don't know why we brought that up.
	That's my Bronco, though.
	That was my 75 fucking Bronco.
	No way, really?
	So beautiful, dude.
	I had that thing for like eight years.
	Why would we bring this?
	No, honestly, it's but to be fair, the first picture I saw, Kelly and I saw from our fucking house, to know that it was actually burnt down was from TMZ.
	Like they sent a drone in there.
	And also they just, because they started, the first homes they're talking about are like celebrity homes.
	And that's not fair because the community of the Palisades, all of our neighbors and that community, honestly, were people that had lived there for like 30, 40 years.
	It was, you know, it's people that had like, you know, raised their kids there, were having their grandkids there.
	And a lot of those people, you know, their home burns down at like 70 years old.
	It's like, we don't have time to rebuild.
	But, you know, there was like a little elementary school across the street and they had these dudes on bikes with, you know, like wooden boxes behind them.
	They would, you know, ride the kids home from school.
	It really was like, like that movie Pleasantville.
	I don't know.
	It was just such a well done.
	Yeah, community.
	It's a nice place.
	Yeah, I've gone to a lot of it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We used to go to a lot of recovery meetings up there.
	And it was just like, it would be the most nicest thing on Saturday.
	We'd pull up and people would.
	Would you go to the church on Via de la Paz?
	Yeah.
	That's the road I lived on.
	I lived down, I lived like two blocks, maybe even one block from that church because my buddy said he used to have meetings over there.
	Dude, yeah, they had some of the best meetings in the world were there, really.
	And it was just such a special energy over there.
	If you go walk and go over to that smoothie shop that's over there and they got those Akai bowls.
	And then they got the little restaurant right across the street from it.
	Yeah.
	That's right near that Starbucks in that big pink, like that whole thing.
	Like the village and stuff.
	Yeah, no, it's like there's that Starbucks.
	And there's that little place that has breakfast right around the corner from it.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But yeah, we go park at the Gelsons and sit there and people would talk before the A meetings and then we'd walk over to the meeting together.
	Oh, good.
	But it was just a nice, it was like, yeah, man, that place is, it's a great place.
	I'm sorry that that happened, man.
	Were you guys able to go in and get stuff out, or what was that like?
	No, I mean, so like when the fire, when the fire started, like we could see it start from, because in that area of Via de la Paz, you kind of have a good vantage point.
	You got some altitude to you.
	So we could see like when the fire started, and I would say it was probably about three and a half, four miles maybe at our 12 o'clock.
	And the winds really weren't that bad at that point.
	It was scary because we were seeing the fire, you know, start to encroach on some homes.
	And so you're watching a home, you know, with this fire going towards the home, you're just feeling for that family or whoever's there.
	And then turn on the news.
	And because there's one road out, I mean, it was already kind of like it got serious very fast.
	And, you know, people were like abandoning their vehicles.
	You know, it's like women running with babies.
	And this was it within like an hour of this fire kind of starting.
	And so I was taking care of my grandma at the time because my grandpa had just passed away like around Christmas.
	So I was in the process moving her out with me.
	And so, you know, she's got some meds and she's slow moving.
	So I was like, hey, grandma, you know, maybe no, no rush, but you know, let's start getting your meds together.
	And yeah, I mean, we grabbed, grabbed a couple t-shirts.
	I got like two Grateful Dead shirts.
	We thought we'd be in a hotel for like, you know, a couple, couple nights.
	And, but no, I remember at one point, my brother-in-law calling my wife and he's like, you know, make sure Miles grabs that, you know, Kobe jersey or that Eagles thing.
	And I was like, well, I couldn't come to terms with, I just couldn't face the reality.
	A, I did not think our neighbor was going to burn down.
	There's like no brush.
	It would have had to jump six lanes, which it didn't.
	But I just remember thinking, like, where do you, you know, it's like, where do you stop?
	You know, if I take this off the wall, then there's just too much.
	And I think it's kind of, I think it's kind of overwhelming.
	But we, it's funny because I always told Kelly, like, if a natural disaster happens, something like that, you're going to drive the truckload everything in the back.
	I'm going to take my Bronco.
	But when stuff, when it's actually happening, you're like, no, obviously, I, you know, make sure my wife and you know, my grandma and, you know, and our, our dog and stuff.
	So, no, we really didn't, we really didn't grab.
	I'm saying, even little shit, like when you're at home, I imagine you have like a favorite coffee mug if you drink coffee or just something that you have has some history to it.
	It's like just none of that stuff.
	Truly, it's like everything I've acquired in life gone.
	Yeah, it's wild.
	Was there feelings after that?
	Like, because that's like, I mean, that's such a, you know, it's traumatic.
	It's, is there anything in a weird way?
	And I don't mean this, is there anything cathartic in some weird way about it?
	Does that sound crazy?
	Is that not a real thing?
	No, I think that's true.
	No, because there's some people that have lost.
	I don't know if it was their, you know, main home.
	There are certainly people that have talked about that kind of baptism of it.
	But I told, I told Kelly, this was like a couple of days after, I said, Look, I know at some point, you know, especially when we have kids, if we're fortunate to have kids, and we're giving them life lessons, that's what it's all about.
	Parent, you've been through the thing they're going through more or less.
	And I said, you know, the fact that we'll be able to sit down with our kids and say, you know, when your mother and I were, you know, your age or this age, we lost everything and we figured it out.
	And I know that as a couple, that really is going to just make us stronger.
	We didn't have any cracks before, but certainly like when you go through something like this, you know, it bonds you in such a, in such a way.
	And then she told me, stop bright-siding me.
	I said, what the fuck is bright-siding?
	She goes, it's this term I'm learning on Instagram.
	It's or TikTok.
	She's like, bright siding is when you're telling somebody this thing, no matter what it is, something traumatic.
	And they're like, well, look on the bright side.
	You know, you have your health.
	Yeah.
	And it's like, it kind of invalidates the thing they're going through.
	But I know what you're talking about.
	I know for me, I guess I feel that more like when I move, if I ever move and you go through everything you own, you're like, oh my God, that's what I'm thinking.
	I don't care about half this shit.
	That's what I'm thinking of more than just like spring cleaning.
	I'm like, dude, that's a horrible comparison.
	Yeah.
	But yeah.
	No, but it's, it's valid.
	I had a, I had a, uh, this director, I worked with his house burned down and he, he felt like it was, um, and we know, right.
	You shouldn't have attachment to things, right.
	That doesn't really, really fill you up as much as relationships do and this and that.
	But, um, the things I'm talking about, they weren't, even though they're considered material, it was just, yeah, that's true.
	And that's the other field of just like not having a, whatever home means to you, like a place where you go back, it's yours.
	Like we've been getting kicked out of rentals.
	Like they tell you we have it for three months.
	They're like, I know somebody else coming in.
	So that, that just kind of thing.
	But yeah, man, yeah, it's all good.
	Well, thanks for entertaining some of those questions.
	Yeah.
	I didn't, and maybe you've talked about that ad nauseum, man.
	And yeah.
	And I'm sorry if you have, I just didn't, uh, I didn't really think about that.
	Um, I watched your movie, dude.
	Yeah.
	What'd you think?
	I watched it last night, man.
	I thought it was really great.
	I thought it was one of the things you talked about a few minutes ago made me kind of even think about it.
	It was like, um, when you look around your, your rental place that you're at now, that there's not even things that are your, like, there's not pieces of you that are spaces or memories, or you can walk past something and think like, oh, Kelly and I were there.
	That's, you know, one of our first vacations, or that's where we got a dog or different things like that.
	Right.
	Um, and it kind of reminded me of just some of the, uh, like the archives that, um, cause the movie is called eternity and it's basically, can you just give me a brief summation of what it's like?
	Cause you'll do a better job.
	So when you die, uh, they, you get put with somebody and, and then you, you know, you take a train and then you get kind of deposited deposited in this like grand central station meets like world's fair kind of place.
	You get an afterlife coordinator and then they, the rules are you, you know, you get to live eternally.
	You pick an eternity, but once you pick, you're in that for, you know, forever.
	Yeah.
	And so the eternities have different themes.
	There's like capitalism world or like a smoking world.
	Yeah.
	Marilyn Manson world.
	Yeah.
	Marilyn Manson world.
	Chocolate world.
	Yeah.
	You can get down with, you know what?
	Yeah.
	Whatever.
	Somebody was like, I want to eternity where it's like, uh, Miami beach, spaghetti and cocaine.
	I was like, well, that's Miami.
	That's like, I think you just, you can actually go there now.
	Yeah.
	That's a night at Carbone.
	Yeah.
	Oh, Carbone is so good.
	Carbone is good.
	Oh my God.
	Um, yes.
	Yeah.
	I thought it was just beautifully shot.
	I just thought it was really, just a really original script.
	You know what I mean?
	It's like, it's so original.
	Um, and it makes you think about like, you know, if I do pass away, it gives me, it gave me like, um, well, you will pass away.
	Oh yeah.
	You know, I'm just thinking, well, I don't know.
	Biohacking is crazy right now.
	A lot of haters.
	A lot of haters.
	If I do pass away, well, debatable.
	Yeah.
	But it was great because your character's wife, Elizabeth Olson.
	Elizabeth Olson, right?
	She passes away and then she has to choose between her first love.
	Yeah, this dude who's been waiting.
	He passed away in the Korean War.
	He's been waiting like 60-something years for her.
	Right.
	And you who are at the kind of like at the Grand Central Station now, too.
	You guys are both kind of waiting for her in a way.
	Yeah, well, I didn't know he was, I didn't know he was still waiting for her.
	Are we giving away too much of you thing?
	No, that's that's in, I think that's like in the trailer.
	Yeah, it's all within the first 10 minutes.
	Yeah.
	But it's kind of fascinating because then she shows up and now you two are kind of vying for her affections.
	Yeah.
	And then who does she stay with?
	Does she stay with this first love that she lost and didn't get to have a life with?
	Or does she stay with this love that she already got to have a life with?
	Yeah.
	And it's just.
	And there's like some people who tell me, you know, it's like, oh man, that's my nightmare.
	You know, people that have been, you know, had, you know, been widowed and moved on this and that.
	But look, I think it, but it does.
	It really makes you think about your own life and what's beyond and, you know, family and I don't know.
	Well, and how long love lives.
	Yeah.
	I think that was part of it.
	Like, I remember when I've done, and it's a little bit of a weird sidebar, but like when I've done like DMT, it's like the only feeling that you're left with is that the only important feeling as it feels like you're leaving the existence is that love was the most important thing and that everything else was just a complete fool's errand.
	Yeah.
	And also that, well, because we were talking about, but you get this feeling that your consciousness, which is who we are, is really, you know, this really is just kind of this vessel, this physical form.
	But who you are exists whenever you've been in a situation where you feel like you've left your body, but you still, you know, think like yourself.
	You still feel like yourself.
	And that kind of remains intact.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's a good.
	And we're not saying that you know what I'm talking about, but we're just saying that, yes, the consciousness of who we are still exists outside of our vessels.
	That's what certain experiences have made me feel like.
	And that that consciousness is still able to evaluate that love is so important.
	Yeah.
	That's one thing that I thought.
	No, but also I've thought about that too.
	I'm like, I think the most important thing in life for me really is, you know, it's like relationships.
	You know, to me, that's the thing when I'm, I imagine when I'm sitting there on my deathbed, if I'm lucky enough to if you die.
	Yeah, if I die.
	Because we have a new package for you.
	Right, sure.
	I can't wait.
	Give me that longevity, you know, whatever it is.
	We got a new smoothie peptide.
	Perfect, dude.
	You know, Kelly will show me like one thing, somebody talk about some product.
	I'm like, yeah, sure.
	Sounds good.
	What is it?
	Bee, pollen, sperm.
	Like, yeah, I can put it in a smoothie, baby.
	But no, but it's like relationships.
	Like, to me, that's, that's what I'm gonna think.
	I'm not gonna be thinking about how this, you know, that, that Bronco or that movie or that.
	I'm gonna be like, man, I'm gonna be thinking about, you know, my wife, my, you know, my buddies, my, you know, my family, my, um, my relationship with higher being I have.
	And I, I think that's kind of the, and that's what I get the most like the return from what you put into relationships.
	That's what, that's what you're going to get back.
	I just think that's, that's always kind of led me on a good path in life.
	Yeah, it's like, I know, sometimes I feel like I've almost spent too much time working.
	One of the nice things, like I recently kind of have gotten to take a break from touring because I'd been kind of touring pretty heavily for like four or five years.
	Yeah, and maybe really for probably 15 years.
	And so I've been able to go to football games and like maybe try to plan a date and go on a date, you know, not be like try to pick up the pieces all the time and stuff like that.
	And like, yeah, just things like that.
	To be able to see a friend like a couple weeks in a row or know that you're going to be able to keep their relationship going and stuff like that is, yeah.
	And when it's not just sandwiched in between, it's like, okay, I have one and a half days, you know, I have this thing on Friday, you know, this thing on Monday, whatever.
	Yeah, that's never enjoyable.
	It doesn't feel real.
	It doesn't feel like it's real.
	You need to have some time to yourself.
	And I've like, even with filming, man, I've kind of always been pretty good.
	Obviously, if it's, I have no problem going like back to back to back, if it's the right thing.
	But other than that, for me, it's got to be really special because you just, you take time.
	Like, I enjoy my Miles life.
	I enjoy my life with my friends and my family and, you know, Kelly and this and that.
	So to have the time to, like you said, kind of nourish those relationships is so important.
	Yeah.
	You know, and just figure out who, like, I'll now get back to what you like.
	Yeah, man.
	Yeah, I thought it was interesting how in the movie, oh, who is the so you get to like the Grand Central Station, right?
	Like this sort of this purgatory type of place.
	Yeah.
	And they connect you with an afterlife coordinator.
	Yeah.
	And then the funny thing is, yeah, there's like, it's almost like this mall of like afterlife.
	So they're trying to sell you or shop to you.
	It's like, oh, here's one.
	It's just a bed, bath, and beyond forever.
	And you're just in a place.
	You're in a candle and lotion shop forever.
	Or here's one.
	It's at the beach.
	You're at the beach forever.
	Or skiing forever.
	And it's like all the, it's like, you know, Willie Nelson world.
	And it's just like everybody there looks like Willie Nelson.
	And that's all they do.
	So people that love, you know, you guys love the same shit.
	Right.
	So you can, yeah, and you get to go there and you're going to meet other people that love Willie Nelson and it's going to be Willie Nelson forever, right?
	Hell yeah.
	But they give you like this afterlife coordinator, like you said.
	And those characters were great in yours, man.
	They got Devon Joy Randolph, who won the sporting actress Oscar for the holdovers.
	And then John Early, who is a, I'm sure some people watching this like know who John is.
	He's, he's got some really incredible stand-up specials.
	Bring him up.
	I wasn't, I don't know if I was familiar with him or a couple shows too.
	John's he's impressive, man.
	Bro, they were killing me, dude.
	Some of the looks he was giving.
	Yeah, I know.
	He's pretty sassy in this movie, which I love.
	Bro, that shit was hilarious, dude.
	I got to touch base with this guy.
	Yeah.
	I got to watch more of his stuff.
	But yeah, dude, that was great.
	And then how, yeah, it was just like, man, she'd had this love that had died in the war, you know, and it was like, oh, and she'd waited.
	And then she'd met you.
	And yeah, it was just like, and then like there was this moment where you realized that, yeah, I don't want to give any, I don't want to give any more away.
	But it was also harrowing to think of like how many, how many widows were, how many women were widowed by war, you know?
	Oh, yeah, right.
	Like how often did that happen?
	Pull that up actually.
	Can you see how many women were widowed by?
	Yeah, man, I forget what they said the average lifespan was for Nor when they stormed Normandy, but it was they're getting mowed down.
	Wow, it says for World War I alone, approximately three to four million women were widowed due to the roughly 9.7 million military deaths.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Other conflict show varied figures.
	Yeah, because also women were married pretty young.
	Do you like touring?
	Yeah, you almost get addicted to it, though, in some ways.
	Yeah.
	Because it's a great time.
	It's fun.
	You want to go see people that want to pay attention, you know?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And I like, I would start going to smaller markets.
	Like we did like 250-something markets over the past four years with this tour.
	And it was, yeah, it's great.
	But then you start, it does like, it starts to become a lot.
	It like, it's just, it just, it just, it just was a lot.
	I imagine you're like, yeah, of course you want to, you know, that's, you want to see everybody.
	You want to make everybody happy.
	Yeah.
	And that's like, it's like whenever I go somewhere and, you know, if there's some event, you know, an event and you can tell, okay, these are actually fans.
	These aren't just, you know, scalpers or dudes trying to sell your autograph.
	It's like, yeah, of course, I make movies for people to, to like, to see them.
	And so the fans are a product of that.
	It's like, yeah, I love, I love doing that stuff.
	You just feel like, yeah, of course, we're in the entertainment industry.
	Yeah.
	You know what I mean?
	It doesn't exist in a vacuum.
	Like you want to bring a smile to somebody's face, especially those smaller markets that don't get the kind of the acts that the other spots do.
	Yeah, we've had so much fun.
	I mean, from places like Casper, Wyoming to Beaumont to Toledo.
	I mean, we've done like so many markets and we're like, oh, well, these other places we can go to.
	And then we'll do like a lot of just meet and groups after the show.
	We'll just go pop out and meet people.
	So, you know, you'll be sitting out there just hugging people and like checking in on folks and like getting a temperature of humanity and stuff like that.
	And it feels good.
	It almost feels in a little way like you live everywhere kind of in some ways because you realize that there's just so many great people who are like a lot like are all kind of searching for some of the same things, you know?
	I think with our, with this podcast, it's sometimes it's a bit more than just kind of like jokes and information.
	Sometimes it's like just like kind of creating a connection, you know.
	Yeah, show me that chart again, man.
	Thank you for asking though, man.
	Yeah, yeah, of course.
	The Civil War had 620,000 to 750,000 military deaths, high widowhood.
	Let me see.
	World War I estimated around 325,000 widows.
	World War II, around 405,000 widows, Korean War.
	And that was the war that your co-actor died in in this movie.
	Yes.
	Around 36,000 widows.
	But yeah, when you just think of all those women, and there was a moment where she said she went and sat at the boat docks and was waiting for his, for the boat he was on to come in.
	So I think that was one thing that was neat about Eternity to me was like there's this fun like thing going on where you guys are like, you know, figuring out these different worlds, like the afterlife.
	And it's super entertaining.
	But then there's also like, there was this sort of like emotion, like kind of pretty emotional stuff going on with like, yeah, how do we look at love?
	And like, if you've already gotten to live one love, if you got to go back, would you choose a different one?
	And yeah, it was just.
	Yeah, it's certainly.
	I mean, what I enjoyed about reading the script and kind of when we performed it was that it does, it never loses its kind of grounding and the stakes and the sincerity of it.
	There's some really funny moments and there's some kind of, you know, but nothing ever becomes like slapsay.
	It's not, it's not a movie where we're just trying to get in as many one-liners as we can.
	I think it's, it always kind of, it's just a delicate balance between having that sincerity and the love.
	And also, I think, I do think it's really funny.
	Yeah.
	It's like, it's just, and we had, after we did the premiere in Toronto, man, we just had, like at the after party, you could just tell people were kind of coupling off and just talking.
	It just makes you think.
	I think it's a beautiful, a beautiful film.
	One of my favorite parts too is just right in the beginning when they're driving in that car together, dude.
	I could have watched those two people in that car.
	That's the Northeast, dude.
	But also, it's just couples that have been around for that long, just this natural, just kind of, oh, you're not going to offend me.
	And just bullshit, banter, bickering, complaining.
	And they're both, neither one of them is saying everything they're doing is just kind of like making the other one, like whatever they're saying, a problem.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I think my wife and I secretly enjoy to like kind of fucking annoy each other.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah, that's probably part of love, probably.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Like a little bit of annoyance, a little bickering.
	I didn't realize that the Elizabeth Olson.
	Yeah.
	I didn't realize that she was related to Mary Kate and Ashley Olson.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I had no idea.
	I know.
	Pretty dynamic.
	Family.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Absolutely.
	Wild.
	Did you get to meet them?
	Did they come by the side?
	They did not.
	No, they did not.
	That's so crazy.
	Because they had a childhood starter mindset.
	That'd be so odd.
	Yeah.
	I know.
	It tends to, I mean, and they've become very successful, you know, in the design side of it.
	Absolutely.
	I think it's, it's, it's tough.
	Oh.
	It'd be a nightmare.
	Do you feel like if I was that?
	What?
	Did you feel like you started to become popular at a pretty young age?
	Do you feel like you were kind of baked into you already?
	Or do you feel like if it had been earlier, like, do you have any thoughts about that?
	Like, I think, I think for me, things happened kind of at the pace that lined up with my own kind of maturity or life experiences.
	Because, you know, it's like I went to college for four years and trained there.
	And so, yeah, I was like 22 when I did my first movie.
	Maybe like 20, maybe I was like 24, 25 when Footloops came out and the project X and that kind of thing.
	But now I was doing some college comedy type stuff.
	So that was all good.
	I think had I gotten, you know, really famous when I was like 17, I mean, I was raised really well.
	I, you know, I never had to worry about my parents or somebody taking money from me, you know, which happens a lot.
	It's really unfortunate.
	That's really a shame to lose trust that young from loved one.
	I think that's going to fuck you up for the rest of your life, truly.
	Oh, that's a good point.
	But yeah, for me, it was pretty, it was like, honestly, pretty, pretty organic.
	I never, I felt like I was able to handle.
	And also, I moved, when I moved out to LA, a bunch of my boys from high school all moved out.
	So I didn't like need anything from LA.
	I didn't come to LA to like find myself.
	I'm like, no, I know who I am.
	And me and my buddies get a house or whatever in the valley.
	And yeah, I always had familiar faces around me.
	Oh, that's so nice.
	Even my agent, I met her on my first movie.
	She's been the same ever since.
	That shit to me hasn't changed.
	I think I was lucky in that sense that a bunch of my boys were like, yeah, we'll go.
	Dang.
	Yeah.
	That's dope.
	Dude, were they acting too?
	The one moved out.
	We played a band together in high school.
	I think he was trying to do something maybe music-wise.
	But no.
	Yeah.
	It's a tough.
	Getting LA is hectic.
	What was y'all's band name in high school?
	We were the mutes because we played the, we all started because we played like the homecoming parade and then the electric, the power went out for our generator.
	So the amps, there was no sound.
	So that's enough of a reason.
	That's a band name right there.
	I think we actually were playing for SWAT, like on the SWAT float, which was really like the SWAT team?
	No, like students working against tobacco.
	Yeah.
	You don't remember SWAT?
	It was like Dare and like SWAT.
	No, dude.
	Bro, we had a DARE officer, Mr. Bob, and R.I.P., he passed away.
	Everybody knew who he was.
	But he would like pull up and he was a humongous man.
	And this is back when if a man was very busy.
	What does Dare stand for again?
	Drug abuse resistance education.
	Because I can only just, I instantly just think of whatever, the ones that people would make up their own.
	Oh, the meme ones?
	Yeah.
	What are some of the meme dare ones?
	I don't even know if I know any of them.
	No, I remember in high school, people would say, oh, drugs are really expensive.
	You know, Yeah, well, especially in Florida if you got some good drugs, but dude, SWATS.
	What happened with the officer?
	It was students working against tobacco.
	Yeah.
	What do you mean?
	Yeah.
	Working against tobacco.
	Yeah, there it is, dude.
	SWAT was big.
	SWAT was big time.
	I'm surprised.
	Bro, that's sketch on the right.
	Zoom in.
	There's a sketch on the right, dude.
	What the fuck is he doing there?
	Yeah, see, Inventor's Laboratory, Big Tobacco.
	Like, Big Tobacco is going down.
	Let's go.
	I don't even know what the fuck.
	Because, yeah, I mean, they would have meetings.
	Bro, that is sketch.
	I can't even believe you guys.
	He was locked in.
	Well, that's not my high school.
	So he was, yeah.
	But our float probably looks you just needed some dude with a flatbed, and they just throw some streamers on it.
	Bro, I never heard that in my life.
	I do.
	It's funny.
	I've never heard of it.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I do remember.
	Yeah.
	Try on perplexity.
	See what they got.
	Pull up some of the dare meetings.
	So what did this, what did Officer Bob?
	What was his, what was his big moment?
	Yeah.
	See, drugs are really, drugs are really exciting.
	Don't actually recover ever.
	Whoa, Jesus.
	Drop everything and run.
	Yeah, those are.
	Yeah, but it was a lot of it was like people screaming, I won't do drugs or whatever.
	But Officer Bob was huge, dude.
	And one year he pulled up and he could not get it.
	He couldn't even get out of his car, right?
	So he had to do the talk from a megaphone from his vehicle.
	And people were like, what?
	And it just sounded like so garbled and stuff.
	And like, oh, and then they would hide a sack of weed in some kid's bag or whatever in the audience.
	And a dog would just go like a real bag of weed?
	Yes.
	Or something that the dog could smell.
	So I'm guessing it was a big one.
	So just okay.
	Because it was like, we put weed on one of the kids.
	Oh, the kids would be like, you know.
	And then they just stick a fucking German Shepherd on the kid.
	Yeah.
	Jesus, dude.
	Yeah.
	Pretty awesome.
	We, dude, there was some weird, there was some weird stuff in my Florida.
	And every teacher's coach.
	Every teacher in our high school is coach because they used to coach the basketball team.
	I remember one dude, he coached the, it's like the debate team or something.
	And he was still coach.
	Oh, dude.
	Yeah.
	They would just pick like what, whoever the lesbian teacher was at our school was also had to be the drama teacher for some reason.
	Like that was ours for a minute.
	Our softball coach, lesbian, ended up a couple of years after I graduated.
	She was having a relationship with like a sophomore.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's unfortunate.
	And that's Florida.
	That's that's, I don't know what that is, but that's.
	Well, a lot of the times it is Florida.
	It's Florida.
	And that's softball.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if it is or not, but yeah, there's a lot of inner down to Key West, though.
	Key West is like my happy place.
	Is it?
	Yeah, just killer live.
	Some of the, I think, best live music in the country is like there.
	Austin, obviously, like in Nashville.
	Yeah, Austin or Key West, man.
	Just killer music.
	You just, either you're walking around the whole time or, you know, if you, we go in a big group, everyone's just on these like little scooters.
	Every bar looks like it just went through a hurricane.
	Yeah.
	I got to go down there.
	So fun, dude.
	I always hear Nick Swartzen loves it down there.
	Oh, yeah.
	He lived down there for, he was just supposed to go for like a couple of weeks or something, stayed at this hotel for something for like months.
	Yeah, he spent like almost a shit ton of money.
	I think like almost just under a million.
	That's hard in Key West too.
	Because he will get them oysters still for like a quarter during a happy hour.
	Oh, dude.
	I don't know how you fucked up.
	He spent a million bucks, actually.
	He needs to write a book about how to spend a million dollars.
	Yeah, oh my God.
	Dude, he's a fucking John Daly of Key West, dude.
	What was I going to talk about?
	I don't know.
	Dude, oh, it was the uh, oh, I feel like somebody's been blowing weed smoking.
	John Daly, baby, but um, SWAT, um, this students working against tobacco field, yes, yeah, and because if they're not doing it, yeah, that's true.
	Tobacco's just running rampant, it's like an Agatha Christmas.
	Oh, they're still, they're still rocking and rolling.
	SWAT is Florida's statewide youth organization working to mobilize, educate, and equip.
	Oh, it's specifically a Florida thing to revolt against and declamorize tobacco.
	Yep.
	Wow.
	Wow, dude.
	Well, that makes I thought it was like a national program.
	Yeah, but I guess we never did go on field trips.
	Yeah, this is it.
	No, this was a this was an experimental program down there in the fucking south.
	Dude, there's 400, there's 4,300 high schoolers vaped now.
	Oh, yeah.
	There's 4,300 active youth, though, in the SWAT, SWAT youth in the state of Florida.
	And so shout out to them.
	We had this thing.
	So we had to build a float one time.
	It was for the homecoming parade.
	And my buddy Patrick, we had to make like this tree.
	Ours was like the tree of life or something or whatever, or keep growing or something like that.
	And my buddy Patrick, he was going to, we're like, dude, Patrick, you stay in the tree, stay in the middle, light up a blunt in there and just blow smoke out of the, like if you blow enough smoke, some of it will just keep a hole in the top of the tree.
	Some of it will leak out.
	So we're pushing this down the street and everybody will, and nobody will know, but there'll be, you'll be in there to super high.
	And it's all like, you know.
	Oh, you're saying not.
	Okay.
	So I was thinking like you cut a hole out of the trunk so it's like his face and just like roasting blunts or something.
	But you're saying just a little hole just so he could breathe.
	Yeah.
	But he was hot boxing this tree.
	Well, we forgot about a breathing hole.
	We just thought put him in the tree, like in the trunk of the tree.
	The trunk is fully built around him.
	It's like this whole paper mache and wire setup that's going to be on a float.
	And then there's this big kind of bulb atop of him, almost like a very small water tower would be kind of look.
	And that is all adorned with green paper mache and everything.
	That's a big tree.
	And they'll put a hole on top of that.
	So Patrick, you just stand in there and keep smoking bunts and some of the smoke will leak out the top.
	It'll be awesome.
	We'll love it.
	And you'll be very fucking high, dude.
	He was so fucking high, dude.
	It's like a two-hour parade.
	And you couldn't see any of the smoke coming out.
	It was just him like smoking countless black and mild bunts in this tree.
	And then we got him out.
	Oh, he didn't, he couldn't go to school for one whole week.
	He couldn't go to school for one whole week, dude.
	His mom had to stay home with him.
	He was, it was the most high person that we'd ever seen in our area.
	It was fun.
	That dude couldn't go to school for a week.
	And he hasn't been.
	He hasn't been the same since.
	He hasn't.
	He hasn't been the same.
	What was something like, how long did you guys, how long did you guys?
	Patrick, he's going to be awesome, dude.
	He's going to sit there and smoke as much weed as you want.
	And sometimes you would, for the first like two blocks, you could hear him yell, can y'all see the smoke?
	after that there was no sound coming out of there it was almost like he's probably dead I'll probably died for a second.
	Well, it was almost like when those kids got trapped in that mine, you know, after the second day they couldn't hear anything.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.

	Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in America is actually imported?
	Yep.
	It can be born, raised, and harvested overseas.
	Then we bring it here.

	When you're shooting a movie like that, like at this point, when you go into a film, like, are there things you want to have on set that make your day easier?
	And then what's that shoot schedule like on a day-to-day basis?
	For somebody kind of at your level, like do you still have to shoot every single scene?
	Do they shoot around some stuff?
	Like, what is it?
	What's the reality of that?
	Yeah, I mean, I think I've been fortunate enough to work on some, you know, some great projects with some great actors.
	For the most part, some really incredible directors that wanted to be the first one there, last one to leave.
	I just think it's important that, you know, kind of right off the bat, people understand it's like, I'll be here for anything you need.
	Because a lot of the time, you know, if you got a, maybe for the shot or whatever, the eye line's tight, they want you to work with just like a, you know, an X on the thing.
	And some people are really good working that way.
	For me, I have to feel the connection with, you know, whoever I'm working with.
	And so for a bigger budget movie, sure, there's certain things that you can kind of build into your contract to make you as comfortable as possible.
	But at the end of the day, I don't really, I don't really give a shit.
	I'm pretty low maintenance.
	It's just like whatever.
	Whatever we need to do to make the best movie possible, you know, I'm in.
	I'm fully in.
	Anything you need from me, I'm here.
	And also, I think I approach film or just acting in general.
	Like, I mean, I grew up loving, you know, I played sports and every sport, you know, it was like team sports always and playing music.
	And that kind of just being a link in the chain, like to me, that's, you know, that's how it has to happen.
	So I enjoy, I enjoy that camaraderie.
	I enjoy that teamwork.
	As I've moved up in my career, I take it upon myself to really like lead from the front.
	You know, if I'm number one on the call sheet, like it's a, it's, and if I'm producing the thing, like it's important to me to know everybody's name and, you know, just to feel like we're all, we're all kind of in this thing together.
	I think when you're making a movie and you just kind of come out for your stuff, go back to your trailer, it's fine and everybody works differently.
	But just for me, I need to really feel that kind of camaraderie.
	Part of the squad.
	Yeah, part of the squad, man.
	Yeah, it is so much fun.
	Like, even like being on a being, because the fact that something gets created really out of nothing, right?
	Like there's words get created and put onto a page.
	And then you want to make sure there's enough functionality.
	I think writing is probably the hardest out of all of the disciplines.
	I can't imagine just staring at a blank page, you know, page one, scene one.
	You don't start thinking about, you don't do that stuff?
	What, writing?
	Will you write a script or no?
	No, I'm, I, I think I'm better at when, um, you know, if writers already have an idea or I can make, I feel like I'm good at kind of collaborating within the scene work and framework of this script.
	And I'll certainly kind of help shape things 100%.
	I think most actors through improvisation or through, you know, talking with the writer, absolutely inform, you know, the material to a good amount.
	Some scripts you don't really need to touch at all.
	But I think I'm better at coming in.
	I don't have the first idea, but I'm good at, okay, that's great.
	And now this.
	But also, I truly believe in like best idea wins.
	And so when you work with a director who's really collaborative and whose ego isn't so precious to where they can take, you know, inspiration from the people around them, I think that's really beautiful.
	I think you have to feel collaborative.
	I think the only time I get upset when I'm filming is when I feel like I'm working with like a dictator and that I don't feel comfortable to kind of speak, speak up about something.
	I don't like closed-minded people.
	Closed-minded people to me, that's when I guess I don't like, I really don't like authority figures.
	And I thought getting in the arts, like that's kind of the, that's a great path for me because we're all, you know, it's collaborative medium in nature.
	But yeah, I just, I don't like when people lead with an iron fist too much.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's kind of crazy, dude.
	What did I see?
	I'm trying to think of something else.
	Oh, one part of the movie that was interesting to me was there was a moment where they were kind of where she had chosen an eternity.
	So she chooses one of the men, but then you can go look at archives.
	You can kind of go back into a museum of your life.
	Yeah, that's a really interesting part of it.
	Yeah, it was just neat to see like how that it's just nice to see that if that happened, like if we pass away, which you're a believer of, That we get to go through almost like this zoo where there's different exhibits of scenes from your life that yeah, your memory, yeah, your memories.
	Yeah, you know, I think people with that term like core memories now is something that's kind of become in vogue.
	Yeah, um, that was kind of fantastical, uh, but that was one thing that I thought was pretty dope about it.
	Um, oh, what about a heist movie, dude?
	I just saw this heist.
	See if you can tell about that, the Louvre.
	That's it, bro.
	That's the movie, that's the friggin news, dude.
	But that is wild.
	I mean, how the Louvre jewelry heist unfolded.
	Yeah.
	On the south side, the heist took a matter of minutes.
	Bridge Crazy.
	Here's how it happened.
	At 9:30 on Sunday, four individuals arrived on scooters in a truck that had a mechanical ladder attached to the back of it.
	Two of them ascended to the balcony and used power tools to carve into the outside window.
	It's crazy none of that.
	I mean, I have alarms on my windows of somewhere.
	They worked inside the Apollo gallery that houses all of the Louvre's special royal jewels and used their saws to break into two of those cases.
	In the meantime, we've been told that the security guards really quickly got people out of that room.
	This very wing of the Louvre also contains the Mona Lisa.
	So it's the most sort of precious things in France are there.
	But only 75% of the rooms have security cameras in them.
	Four minutes later, they emerge with eight precious items, including tiara, necklaces, a beautiful brooch, and a crown.
	How'd they get away, Nick?
	They escaped out the window and they took off on scooters that they had planted.
	Dude, that seems like almost it would be you just think like more security.
	It's like what you and I would decide.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You guys would decide, like, hey, let's go get the Louvre.
	Let's steal that fucking steal that crown.
	Yeah.
	Oh, my wife is upset.
	She doesn't have a crown or whatever.
	Yeah.
	And then you're like, all right, let me see how I can figure it out.
	Give us nine minutes.
	No, but also, it's like, so what did then they sell this?
	Like, do they take it apart and sell it on the black market?
	Do they just need to hold on to it until you know, like after generation, generation, and then try and say opt up somewhere?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	How do you get rid of something like that?
	Oh, it's almost pretty magical that they were able to do it.
	But I mean, no, I think it's, yeah, I mean, it certainly gives truth to these heist movies and stuff.
	You're like, ah, no way.
	It's like, well, you know, yeah, you can do it with just a little saw.
	Yeah.
	Actually, in a scooter.
	You don't even need like switching identities and shit.
	It's like, no, but that's what I was wondering.
	When the dude's in there, like, banging his, like, just like carving through this glass, nobody's like, because obviously it was full of people.
	Hey, quiet day.
	Yeah.
	No, that's incredible to me.
	Hey, quiet, quiet down.
	I can't hear the guided tour over here.
	That's crazy, bro.
	And the Mona Lisa, dude, Mo Lisa, that looks more like a dude, I think.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, that was stolen.
	It was stolen at one point.
	Not in this, but I think back in the 70s or something, Mona Lisa was stolen.
	I wonder if it was really stolen or somebody faked having.
	See, this is what I think happens sometimes.
	These museums fake having stuff stolen to get people to come to the museum or to add like texture and story to their place.
	Yes, the Mona Lisa 1911.
	Yes, the Mona Lisa was stolen in 1911.
	From the Louvre.
	The Louvre needs the button up, dude.
	The Louvre is like, what are you guys doing?
	No wonder you keep getting robbed.
	It's like, obviously, not that hard.
	It's a fucking halfway house for art, dude.
	They got to figure this shit out, dude.
	He disguised him a ring camera, my guy.
	Like, what are you doing?
	He disguised himself.
	He disguised himself as a museum employee, hid overnight inside the museum.
	That's the move.
	And took the painting the next morning by removing it from its frame and concealing it under his smock.
	The theft was not discovered until the following day, and the painting was hidden in Perugia's apartment in Paris during that time.
	Dude, when I was growing up, you can't tell anybody about it.
	Right.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah, you can't even get you can't put it on this display.
	I have no idea.
	I really don't know how you move this stuff.
	And you get high and definitely tell somebody.
	Oh, for sure.
	For sure.
	That's how, I mean, that's kind of usually how they end up catching criminals on that most wanted list.
	Like they, they slip up, they tell somebody something.
	Bro, I'm so high right now.
	Don't tell anybody.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But I murdered a couple people.
	Oh, yeah, great go.
	Wild.
	Yeah.
	Remember that shit I told you last night?
	Like, I was just, man, we were fucked up.
	Yeah.
	We were fucked up.
	You said you murdered someone.
	I said I did.
	Like, yeah.
	We were both a goof.
	That was a goof.
	That was a goof.
	What a, you've had so many interesting experiences.
	You got to work with Tom Cruise.
	Was that pretty fascinating?
	Did you get to meet him before you got to work with him?
	And sorry if some of this seems like a little bit petty, but I don't know anybody that ever met him.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, Tom.
	I mean, yeah, Tom's, Tom's great.
	I flew.
	It was this, I had worked with that director before.
	I had done two movies with him, I think, at that point.
	Oh, no, I had done one movie with him at that point.
	But yeah, I mean, I flew.
	I had to audition for it.
	I think they were down to like a couple guys.
	Flew and, you know, did audition with Tom.
	He's, he's like, he's very disarming.
	I mean, I, but for some reason, I didn't feel like I was going to be nervous around him.
	I have like, obviously, an immense amount of respect for the guy, but he's, he's such like a consummate professional.
	And he is, he's one of our great, great actors.
	And his filmography, I think, if you attach commercial and critical, I think this run that he's, you know, has went on multiple times through his career is going to be very hard to touch.
	But yeah, he's, he really cares about the work and he labors over, he labors over the script.
	I mean, we would go, we would meet, we would have a meeting over filming.
	He's like, all right, we're going to meet.
	We're going to talk about, you know, this scene that exists on page like 50 or something.
	But you always start page one, scene one, and you start from the very beginning.
	And then three hours later, when we've had all these side conversations about just different parts of the script, by the time you get to the scene you met, we're there to meet about, it's like, ah, well, it's time to go.
	We'll meet tomorrow.
	But nobody works harder.
	He knows everybody's name.
	He's first one in, last one to leave.
	But that movie, I mean, that movie, yeah, that movie took a long time to make.
	Everybody was so committed.
	And also, like, you have to work in part and parcel and in concert with the Navy.
	You know, I mean, Navy doesn't stop being the Navy.
	So if we're filming on a carrier, we're filming it in Top Gun or we're filming all these plays.
	These guys are actively training non-stop.
	So, yeah, it was a lot.
	It was a lot to kind of work out.
	Yeah.
	So you're having to like work in between certain days while they're doing stuff or at night while they're like, I remember when we were on the carrier, we could, maybe we had like, you know, a two-hour window for something to be up on the top deck.
	But yeah, that was, yeah, we're on the carrier for two weeks.
	I remember I walked by this one sailor.
	That's like one of my first few days being there.
	And even though you're on this giant carrier, like you feel like you're on a submarine because the hallways are very cramped.
	Everything is metal.
	There's nothing for comfort.
	There's nothing extraneous.
	Like that is an active carrier.
	It's a wartime carrier.
	But it's very weapon.
	It's very, it's a weapon.
	I mean, we're launching, you know, aircraft from it.
	And so, but when you're walking around, I mean, all of the hallway, everything is so tight, even though it's this massive vessel.
	And I walked by this one sailor and I was like, hey, I was like, living the dream, huh?
	And he just turns to me and he goes, nightmares are also dreams.
	And he said, it's so cold.
	I was like, that is, we're on the Theodore Roosevelt.
	Yeah.
	But no, I just, I, I don't know.
	I have so much dreams.
	Nightmares are also dreams.
	Yeah, because I mean, that's a good thing.
	Depending on what your job is on that carrier, I mean, your job placement, you might be seven or eight, you know, decks below.
	And, you know, just the nature of operations, sometimes like you're kind of that's kind of your territory.
	Oh, yeah, absolutely, man.
	Do you have so much respect for terrorists best?
	What people go through.
	We're trying to maybe have Gary Sinise come on.
	I know he's, there's nobody that's done more.
	Yeah.
	That guy is, it's truly been his like life's mission.
	Yeah, he's fantastic.
	To support veterans.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Because it's not like the VA, like, because I did this movie about guys coming home from wars called Thank You First Service, and it was based on this book.
	Real guys.
	And that's kind of what you learn.
	It's like the VA is not broken.
	It's just overwhelmed.
	And so, you know, and for guys to kind of unpack, and our writer-director was telling me, he's like, yo, Miles, we've known how to send guys to war, men and women to war for centuries.
	Since the beginning of time, we've known how to create a soldier, but we still don't really know how to bring them back.
	And it is, it's really, it's really complicated.
	Those programs that are, you know, working for, you know, nonprofit, they can only take so many people.
	Funding is really important.
	And the sweet people.
	Sorry, go on.
	No, I was just saying, it's, it's really, it's really tough.
	And also just with mental health in general, the amount of training that it takes for somebody to be able to appropriately deal with someone with, you know, if it's PTSD, if it's bipolar,
	if it's schizophrenia, whatever it is, it takes a really, it takes a long time to train somebody and to be able to get them to sit with the person and be able to potentially, you know, change their men's a little bit, somebody that they trust, somebody who has those skills to deal with it.
	It's very tough.
	And yeah, that's actually something I'm, yeah, I have a lot of advocacy for.
	I think, and also when you talk to people, I think most, I think a lot of people have somebody, you know, in their family or with friends that are, you know, dealt with that.
	And it's, it's, it's just, yeah, it's really tough.
	I think I have, yeah, just immense amount of empathy.
	And that stuff's always, you know, it's more or less it always kind of some traumatic event happened at some age and that leads to, you know, these, these mental health issues.
	Yeah, that's such a great statement on how to bring these people home.
	And then how much value, like, you know, even at a governmental level, how much value, you know, should there be just as much of a training and untraining program, you know, as much as you're training people for military and for combat, should there be just as much of an untraining?
	And also these guys, you know, they, the guys that they go to war with, those are the guys that understand more than anybody what they went through.
	But then, you know, they go from being in, you know, battalion and, you know, being those guys.
	And then they come home and everybody kind of disperses.
	And, you know, it's, yeah, it's, it's tough.
	Well, it's like you were saying earlier, just like being able to be part of a group and have that, you know, and then suddenly it's different or suddenly even shared life experience.
	You're put on leave or something because you're a mental condition, then that's got to be even scarier because now are you maybe struggling, but also you're away from your group.
	Right.
	And also each, like each, you know, depending on what job you're going for in the military, you know, infantry, different branches, you know, you need, it's a numbers game.
	We need numbers at all times.
	And so some of these, you know, some of the boot camps are, you know, X amount of weeks.
	And it's like, here you go.
	Here's a gun.
	And when you get more kind of, I guess, tier one, senior.
	Yeah, where I'm just saying, like our special forces guys, I mean, those, those guys have been through, you know, a lot of training.
	And they're, they're, you're usually not in those groups until you're, you know, you're certainly not 18 as a Navy SEAL.
	It takes, you know, a couple of years.
	Yeah, it's been, it was, I was at, I went to this, to this football game last year, going to the Vanderbilt football game.
	And there were two.
	Did you go to Vandy?
	I didn't.
	But they just happened to be in Nashville and I became buddies with their quarterback.
	That quarterback's a real deal.
	Yeah.
	Bro, he's such a great guy.
	You would love him, dude.
	He's come.
	We went to a UFC fight together, actually.
	You weren't at that.
	I won.
	I've been out of the mix for a little bit just because we're the house stuff.
	Seven months ago, maybe.
	I don't remember which one it was.
	I can't remember.
	How great are those?
	That's the best.
	Well, dude, you know, at the end of the day, they're going to fight.
	Yeah.
	And there's just, and the time in between is great.
	You just hang for a little chat.
	And then it's just when that music comes on, forever's coming in, just the crowd.
	I think Madison Square Garden, especially.
	You know, I imagine you were at some of those Connor fights during his heyday.
	I got to go to one with him and Dustin.
	That was it.
	But when he came out, it was just crazy.
	I think I saw you.
	Yeah, I saw you at that one.
	Yeah.
	I know Dustin's your guys.
	It's a shame when that kind of generation, you're on out to the next group of fighters.
	But yeah, Dustin's, he's the man.
	They have so many great guys, but also being at those events is so much fun.
	And you also realize that you are nothing.
	Like, because there's some badasses coming out thing.
	It's like, no matter if you think you're cool or not, you are sitting there looking in awe at some warriors.
	Absolutely.
	That when it comes down to it, like they're the piece.
	One-on-one.
	It's one-on-one.
	You know what I mean?
	And it's just like such a test of will and like and man or woman.
	And like, what do you like?
	It makes you ask yourself a lot of things.
	It's, yeah, I find that whole world is pretty fast.
	Like, I even remember in high school, man.
	Like, you know, I'd be, you know, I played baseball.
	And were you pretty good in high school?
	I was, yeah.
	No, I pitched up until, like I said, it took me a minute to hit my gross spurt.
	But I was like, you know, stud, you know, kind of early years.
	And then I was saying, you know, even with the football players, like the wrestlers, when you looked at the wrestlers' condition compared to the football players, like you couldn't even compare, like a lot of my buddies are wrestlers, they're cutting 10, 12 pounds in high school.
	Like to have that discipline at 15 to be like, now I'm skipping lunch.
	I got to, you know, I got to sweat.
	I got to do a sauna suit or just be crazy.
	It's kind of discipline for those.
	I remember driving through my neighborhood and my buddy Paul would literally be running.
	And this is when we didn't even know we had a wrestling team in our school, right?
	I think it was like the first year they started.
	He'd be running down the street in a bunch of trash bags and shit.
	You're like, oh my God, like he did something bad at home or whatever.
	Like we just didn't know what it was.
	Like a punishment.
	That's it.
	It's, I mean, it was crazy.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, dude.
	Do you start to think like, okay, so now you have like kind of like a filmography of your own work?
	I don't know if that's the right term, but do you start to think, okay, this is a genre I would like to do, or I love that so much.
	I'd like to find a more unique way to do that.
	Like, is that something that an actor starts to think about?
	How do you start to think about, do you start to think about a little bit of like how many movies you want to do?
	Or what kind of things come into your mind at your kind of juncture in your career?
	As far as the work goes.
	I think when I first started out, and I guess when I was in college and be doing different scenes and stuff in class, I always wanted to, like, I enjoyed drama as much as I, you know, enjoyed comedy.
	I actually kind of started out when I was in high school.
	You know, everybody kind of knew me as like the class clown, and I would play like the comedic relief in plays and stuff.
	And then I remember doing this very serious monologue, and the whole class just started laughing.
	Like, they couldn't take me seriously.
	And I remember that pissed me off because I was like, oh, I've lost my audience.
	Like, they're, I, they just.
	Oh, they're locked into that.
	I'm a clown.
	Yeah.
	And so they, like, I, I was like, oh, shit.
	Okay.
	I, okay, now I need to kind of work on this other stuff.
	I was like, nobody, I didn't want to like not be taken, you know, seriously for something.
	Um, but so I knew starting out, like, I always had an appetite.
	I think that's really what it comes down to.
	It's like, what are your interests?
	So I've done movies with music.
	I grew up playing a bunch of instruments.
	I've haven't done a sports movie yet.
	I love sports, military, my family, my friends.
	I've done some of that.
	So I've done like a good amount of blue collar stuff.
	I like that.
	But I think as far as the genre goes, every once in a while, yeah, you'll watch a film or maybe it's a certain director who works in a certain genre.
	You're like, yeah, I would love to do that.
	But I think, yeah, it really just comes down to like taste and interests.
	I think I have a pretty wide range of interests.
	And I don't really necessarily care what the genre is, as long as it just feels authentic to me.
	Can you feel that?
	Because you can make a bad version of any genre.
	Yeah, and I guess you can just feel that when you read the script.
	You're like, I can see this.
	I can figure this out.
	Yeah.
	I think I've been fortunate enough to.
	Now, in the beginning of most careers, right, people are like, oh, why'd you do that?
	And it's like, yo, you thought I had like multiple options?
	Like, what are you talking about?
	Like, no, dude, you're just trying to work professionally.
	Like, if I, if you can pay your bills as actor, and it's tough, man.
	You know how many, like, you're starting out.
	It kind of, I think, like in your 20s, there's a lot of actors kind of, we can all play teenagers, this, that, whatever.
	Then when you get older, it's like your audience, you know, wants to grow with you.
	You got to kind of mature with them.
	You know, it's like, I imagine a lot of my fans now have like kids and stuff, you know, and that's great.
	And so I just try to, I don't know.
	Yeah, I think your best asset would be, I guess, when you read a script, if I think it's good, is it?
	And for the most part, I've kind of just went with my instincts and gut.
	But for the most part, a lot of my career has been, you know, a director's got to take a chance on you.
	Like I played this boxer, Vinny Pazianza.
	My buddy just sent me a link to it.
	I haven't watched it yet.
	Yeah, bleed for this.
	That's how I met Dana White because Vinny's like Dana's favorite boxer all time, and he loved the movie, loved the movie.
	So that's how I got plugged in with UFC early on.
	My buddy just got in the box in Hall of Fame, Vinny.
	Shout out, Vinny.
	Oh, he did?
	But he's a, yeah, he's, he's just a Vinny Pazianza, the Pasmanian devil.
	But dude, but he look at him.
	That's him.
	Yeah.
	So he broke his.
	So he was, he had won some titles early, and then he was kind of, the promoters kind of thought he was on the way out.
	You played him?
	Yeah.
	So I had like, yeah, so there's footage of him.
	I mean, with that Halo one.
	Now, meanwhile, if you, if you, you know, mess up more or less with that Halo on, you're going to be paralyzed for life.
	And there's video of him like, you know, doing some pretty sick rope work with that Halo one, just working out like a madman.
	I don't want to give it away, but it's considered like, you know, just one of sports all-time great comebacks.
	But yeah, the only movie I had come out like right before that, I was like in fat, or not fat, but pudgy friend shape.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, I was like, I don't need a six-pack.
	That's just, that's BS, man.
	Like, you need a six-pack if you can't hold their attention with your acting.
	I mean, just all bullshit.
	I was thinking when I was 25, and I used to not like it.
	I was like, that dude's ripped.
	He can't act.
	Dang, dude.
	Yeah, there's so many great actors out there.
	I think it's so, it's just fascinating to watch somebody just be able to create, to be able to carry a story, right?
	And just be like an instrument just to be like a word on a page, you know?
	It's like we're shining a mirror up to, you know, society really.
	You're just kind of the great actors, right?
	You watch them and you obviously believe what they're doing, but then it makes you feel about, you know, your own life.
	And so it's beautiful.
	They just really understand kind of the human condition, human experience.
	I think because a lot of young actors will ask her, like, what do you think is so important?
	This and that.
	I said, I go, I think, obviously, start from the inside, work from the inside out.
	And I think just two abilities or curiosities that will really aid you is like, you know, just empathy.
	If you're somebody who just, you know, sees somebody in a different way of life and you can feel for somebody other than yourself.
	And then your curiosity.
	I think that's what's lent me to a lot of projects I've ended up doing just because I think I've always had a just high level of curiosity and empathy for other people.
	Where do you think that comes from for you?
	I think just, yeah, I don't know.
	I guess the way I was rated, we did, we moved around a lot.
	Well, there was my family, like on my mom's side, there was a lot of trauma.
	Like my grandma, she's, she, she's, she buried all of her kids, but, but one.
	And a lot of them died very young.
	And I think I come from, you know, a certain kind of stock that, and then my, you know, my uncle, he was a quadriplegic from the time he was like 17.
	So my entire life, spending a lot of time in like nursing homes and, you know, those kind of environments that can be fairly traumatizing for a young kid to just hearing like beeps and people wandering around with, you know, maybe dementia and Alzheimer's.
	And it can be scary.
	And they're usually not the most well-lit places, but we, you know, we're constantly kind of in those environments, you know, and, you know, feeding him at, you know, you know, meals and I don't know, just different things like that.
	I think.
	You said wanting to take care of your grandmother whenever you were, you know, when you guys' house went through that trauma and stuff like that.
	Yeah, I could see that, I guess.
	And I moved around a lot.
	Like I lived in like five states by the time I was 12.
	Oh, God.
	Yeah.
	You have to be willing to open yourself up to people because you got to be liked.
	You got to be accepted.
	You got to be, you got to fit in.
	You got to find a way.
	Yeah.
	Especially as a kid.
	That's harder for a kid.
	Yeah, I think it was easier.
	Well, yeah, well, certainly kind of, it's all a part of the, I think, how our personalized developed certain things happen in childhood, right?
	That's, yeah, you can dig deep to figure out, oh, that's why I am.
	So that's why I but it is, though, I think for a kid to move to a new place, that's a lot, you know?
	Yeah.
	I told my parents when we first moved to Florida from South Jersey, I was like, I was like, because I really loved South Jersey and I was just like, I'm going to paint my walls black.
	I'm going to be a goth.
	You're going to be embarrassed by me.
	I'm going to wear Marilyn Manson shirts when your friends come over.
	One of my favorite friends.
	No, that's it.
	I'm just thinking back to myself, like, paint my walls black.
	I'm going to paint my fucking ceiling fan black.
	Has anybody ever even fucking done that?
	It's just going to make black air in the room.
	Dude, my buddy Jeff, dude, he was hilarious.
	We would go over to his house.
	And I've told this part of the story before, but we would, I go, we'd all go outside and get high.
	And then I would come in the house and I would come in before everybody.
	I would tell his dad that they were high, right?
	You're a fucking asshole.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, my God.
	Just to like save yourself.
	Just because here's what I love.
	I love.
	You were high with him.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I didn't tell him that part.
	No, that's what I'm saying.
	But I would say that they were high and whatnot.
	And they were seeming some of the behaviors they'd have been doing.
	It seemed a little zesty or whatever.
	Sometimes I'd throw in a little nugget like that.
	And you could fucking kind of hear his fucking.
	Put a cigarette out on a lizard.
	Yeah.
	You'd see him fucking, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He'd put a cigarette out.
	He just, that energy took over him, dude.
	He thought like his, if kids were being high in zest, yeah, it scared him a little.
	But anyway, then I would sit in there and wait and they would come in and he would just be looking at him and they would, it was always like, do not tell my dad I'm fucking high.
	Like, don't worry.
	And just seeing the dad fucking figure him out, bro.
	I would, I would lay there in the other room crying of laughter, just knowing that they're about to get beat.
	Yes, knowing that this whole scenario had been created.
	But my buddy Jeff, dude, he had this like anger sometimes.
	And he would go play that song.
	He had one CD and it was that song, You Gotta Keep Them Separated.
	Yeah, damn.
	Oh, that's offspring.
	Come out of it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He would go in his room.
	He would beat the drywall out of his room.
	And then every year for Christmas, his parents would redo the drywall.
	Yeah, that's right.
	That was his Christmas present every year.
	It's fucking.
	I had a buddy like that.
	And then he ended up kind of working in construction.
	And so now he, like, even as an adult, some shit, whatever, fucking kick a hole in his wall.
	But then he's patching it.
	So I was like, you know what I mean?
	Yeah, dude.
	And Jeff is in the military too, dude.
	Shout out, Jeff.
	And shout out the least favorite singer of offspring.
	He came up to a show one time and I told him that story.
	And I'd waited my whole life to tell him that story.
	I was like, dude, we had so much fun.
	And my, yeah, we just had so much fun, dude.
	Fuck those.
	I think that's what's nice growing up.
	Like in the town I grew up, it was such a small town.
	It's like, yeah, I mean, if we skipped school, it was to like go float down the river and we would go to the Walmart and then, you know, usually it started out just, you know, you buy an air mattress for a couple bucks.
	But yeah, you're just sitting at the Walmart looking around like, you know, Benjamin Franklin, like, I well, you know, what do you think we can get to float?
	And I remember one time we got this like eight foot by four foot kids like swimming pool.
	We fit like six dudes in it and a cooler of beer in the middle and you know, push off a little bit.
	Okay, yeah, we're going.
	It's great.
	I love that.
	Yeah.
	I know I miss.
	Of course you miss it, but yeah, I just like that kind of stuff was so much fun.
	When the world, when everything felt so new and the world didn't, it felt big in some ways, but it, but your view was so concise, kind of.
	Well, because you're not, you're typically not jaded.
	You're not worried about anything at that point at that point.
	That's what I noticed when I. You just have to eat and lie to your parents.
	When I've shot movies in some, you know, underprivileged areas, I mean, I'll see these kids playing in what you would basically describe as like a landfill and they're so happy and they're just kicking around trash like it's a soccer ball.
	And you just realize like children like, for the most part, are innately happy.
	They don't know what else, especially where we were at.
	It's like they don't know what else out there.
	They don't know how we're, you know, living, how people are living in other parts of the world.
	Yeah.
	It's really, it's like it's, it's touching and it's, it's also, you know, it's very sweet.
	And but it's, I always, whenever a kid gets kind of their childhood taken away from them too early or they have to become an adult too early, that's, that's tough.
	It's like, no, these, like, this was the time, you know, for you to just be a kid.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You'd think that that would be auto, like at that, that that would be kind of guaranteed, you know?
	Maybe one day it will be.
	Maybe that's where we're all headed.
	No, it's tough, man.
	It's like, you know, I know, you know, telling people, you know, adulting, adult life's, you know, really tough for them.
	And because it's tough on them, their kid, you know, a lot of time is handed a little more, I think, responsibility or even just emotional.
	Yeah, stuff they shouldn't have to think about, that sort of thing.
	That's the craziest.
	Dude, I know a guy who used to wake his kids up and get them to pee for him so he could go do drug tests.
	Wow.
	So they ran a snow cone stand in our town.
	I'll probably have to take that part out because we don't have a lot of snow cone stands in our town.
	So people know that.
	I know.
	I got to watch it because that's like my town.
	Is this it?
	Anything else you want to tell us about the film?
	Any reason like why you believe?
	Or was there anything like about it that resonated with you after it, after having watched it?
	Did you give notes on the edge?
	Anything like, I don't know.
	Yeah, I just, I just think because we had our, you know, first premiere up in Toronto, and it was just really wonderful after the film.
	Like how many people, like you said, because it does, it just really makes you think about your own kind of mortality and loved ones.
	But people really wanted to, I mean, for me, those are my favorite movies where you're, you're, you know, it leaves you really thinking.
	But I think it's, it's just really, it's a really funny movie.
	I think it's really sweet and sincere.
	And all of Kelly's girls were crying.
	Yeah, it's very sweet.
	It's not like too heavy.
	I mean, there's some moments that are.
	You're dealing with heavy.
	I mean, well, you're dealing with something that's maybe inevitable or not based on kind of what you're taking supplements-wise and how you take care of the do-do, brother.
	But it is, it's just, I was just, my wife said it was her favorite film that I've ever been in, her favorite film maybe of the last like, you know, however long.
	And also, I feel like it's pretty sweet, huh?
	I think it's a movie that I think it can, I think it fits with kind of the classic romantic comedies that are more character-driven.
	And yeah, I'm just really excited for people to see it.
	And is it coming out in streaming?
	Is it coming out in theaters?
	No, so it comes out in theaters nationwide like Thanksgiving.
	Oh, sweet.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So great holiday film.
	Take your mom, your grandma, dad, your girl, whatever.
	Yeah, I think anybody, our whole family could go see it.
	I think it's that kind of thing.
	It's certainly that.
	And yeah, I do think some of those questions, yeah, it made me feel a little bit more upbeat.
	Yeah, it's just like, I don't know.
	It was something that it's certainly something that I hadn't seen before.
	Yeah.
	And I thought that was, it was very creative.
	It was very creative.
	And then when you're thinking about love, you're thinking about the afterlife.
	You're thinking about the choices that we make and stuff like that.
	You know, it made me a little mournful that there's some moments you never get to have.
	It's like, oh, I didn't, you know, like you'll start to think, oh, I didn't have that high school love that lasts forever.
	But then it's like, but that couldn't even have been a reality in my life.
	It never would have fit in, right?
	But it was just, it's just interesting to kind of think about things like that.
	You know, I like thinking about matters of the heart and stuff like that.
	Oh, the last thing I was going to tell you.
	So, yeah, I went to the Venerable game, but I saw these two.
	There was two kids there, and they were there with their dad, and their dad had just gotten back from service.
	He was in Qatar.
	And right when I saw the kids, they're like, oh, dude, my dad saw you perform in Qatar.
	I went over there and did just a thing for the military.
	Was it through USO or something different?
	No, it was like they were doing like, oh, something for troops.
	Yeah.
	The president was doing something over there and they were doing some troops thing.
	But anyway, it was just, they're like, oh, dude, our dad.
	And you could just tell, like, I was like, oh, how long were you there for?
	And he's like, I was there for a year.
	And it was just like, I don't know.
	It was just interesting to see this moment.
	And I was like, are you guys, dad?
	You're glad?
	Are you guys glad your dad is home?
	And you could just see like, I don't know.
	It's just, you just see some of the sacrifice.
	It was just a moment that I had to witness like kind of firsthand a little bit of like the sacrifice that sons deal with, that fathers deal with, that people deal with to keep our country safe.
	And yeah, it's just touching, man.
	Yeah, this guy, the guy that I played in, thank you for your service, Andrew or Adam Schumann.
	He, you know, because people say, you know, thank you for your service.
	And a lot of the time, people say that sometimes to just alleviate their own guilt of having not served.
	But, you know, I've heard guys talk about it.
	It's weird.
	You're thanking me for something that, hey, I signed up for or I wanted to do, or you're thanking me for, you don't even know what my job was.
	It's just a complicated kind of decorative term that we use out of lack of knowing.
	But he would say the thing that really broke him, he was, you know, filling up his, you know, his truck with gas and, you know, his army, the big red one.
	And, you know, a guy saw that and, you know, basically just kind of shook his hand and said, like, welcome home.
	You know, welcome home, son.
	And, you know, glad you got home safe.
	And that's, you know, it's, it's, yeah, it's tough.
	It's, it's, but you're, that's, we can do what we do because those men and women are over there doing, you know, doing the dirty work.
	I mean, our job is built on the freedom of speech, you know?
	Yeah.
	Both of our jobs are built on it.
	Like, it doesn't even exist if people, if people aren't making the sacrifice for us.
	But yeah, that would be great to be able to talk with Gary Sinise.
	I know he does a lot with that for veterans.
	And yeah, it's nice to just be reminded.
	It's nice to be reminded of a space to another reason just to have gratitude for the things that we have going on.
	But also, it's like it's different parts of the like we're, you know, growing up in Florida, I feel like there's so many people that, you know, have family members in the military, but it's, it's a lot more socio like economic driven now to where the military, it's, it doesn't feel like the entire country is really a part of it.
	And it's really happening in very specific pockets.
	So it's kind of, it'll be interesting in the next like 25 years, 50 years of who you kind of have to live in these certain areas to have a relationship with somebody who's serving because that's what personalizes it.
	Yeah, that's a good point, man.
	You know, during in ancient Rome, they used to have the politicians were also on the battlefield, which is pretty fascinating.
	So it was like the rules that they were making, if they were going to send people into battle, they were going to have to be associated with those rules.
	And I think it would be, I mean, who am I to say?
	I didn't serve, but it would be, you know, I think maybe some of the rules we would make might be, some of the choices we would make might be a little bit different if it felt if you had skin in the game.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I think there's always some value in having skin in the game.
	Yeah.
	I think that's just the tricky thing with politics in general when you just can't recognize the, you know, the elected officials and the leaders, you just feel like you cannot relate to them.
	They can't relate to you on any level.
	And it feels like those margins are getting wider.
	Getting wider.
	Dude, that might be a cool, I'm sure there's a cool film out there.
	A lot of cool opportunities.
	Well, man, I hope you continue to serve us in great ways by bringing art to life and bringing it into video format for us.
	And yeah, thank you so much, dude, for all the entertainment and for stopping by and chatting.
	Thanksgiving week, you guys can check out Eternity with Miles Teller and Elizabeth Olson.
	And also my wife, Kelly, she's coming out with a like a pajama, a robe line.
	Will that be available for holidays?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And I'm just so, yeah, I'm just so proud of her.
	Yeah.
	So had to get that out there, too.
	Oh, that's that's awesome.
	Yeah, you guys have been together for how long?
	It's almost 13 years.
	Dang.
	Yeah.
	Did you know right when you met her that that was a one?
	I knew she was like the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen.
	Yeah, there you go.
	I appreciate that, guys.
	She's the most pure-hearted person I've ever met in my life.
	I didn't know that.
	Obviously, when I saw her, I was just attracted to her face.
	You know, and then as I've gotten to, you know, but then we're pretty inseparable right off the bat.
	But I do remember because I was like 25, dude.
	This was like very, I lived in my career, just started.
	And she, you know, and I remember my boys, my Florida boys I moved out with, when they start seeing her hang around more and more, I'm like, yeah, well, she's my girlfriend.
	They're like, what the fuck are you talking about?
	They're like, why would you have a girlfriend right now?
	This is our moment.
	This is our entourage moment.
	Like we rented a house in the valley.
	We had a pool.
	They're like, this is our time, dude.
	I was like, well, you know, I was probably like, yeah, am I ready to settle down?
	No, but also I'm not ready for her to just leave me either.
	You know, it's like, I don't want this one's not getting away for sure.
	Dude, that's funny by yourself.
	That's my best friend.
	Dude, we literally, like, I never get sick of her.
	I like, and when I, and when I tell people the difference is like, you know, most people, they have a job nine to five, whatever it is.
	And when I'm filming, certainly it's like that.
	But when I'm not, it's like, and she comes with me when I'm filming.
	It's like, I see her from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed.
	You know, maybe I go work out for a little bit or do something like that, but we are with each other all of the time.
	And we, we love it.
	Like, it truly is like that.
	She cracks me up.
	She's very low.
	Like, she's so hard to rattle, to get rattled.
	She doesn't raise her voice.
	She says being calm is her superpower, but she is, she's just like unflappable.
	She's great.
	The unflappable Kelly Teller.
	Oh, she's going to love that.
	She loves it.
	And she has a new pajama line that's out.
	Yeah, I remember the day that I met her.
	You guys were sitting out there out back together, man.
	I think almost every time I've seen you, except for that one time that you were dancing by yourself, which is pretty admirable.
	I think I'll see you people.
	Yeah.
	I was telling her there dancing by himself.
	I'm like, that dude is doing that.
	I took my boy to the fight that time.
	It's so much fun.
	It's fun to bring your friends, man.
	And it's fun to bring us into your world for a little while.
	Thank you so much, Miles.
	I appreciate it.
	Check out Kelly's new pajamas.
	And congratulations, man, on everything.
	Thanks, dude.
	Yep.
	Have a good day, buddy.
	I'll see you to fight, sir.
	It sounds good.
	Yeah.
	Now I'm just floating on the breeze and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.
	I must be cornerstone.
	Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found.
