"Jeff Goldblum"

23:57And actually, I had a kind of, we were, I had a vigorous conversation with him about the ending. There was an ending which had painted me retroactively in a kind of villainous, even though I tried to kill her at the end and meld all three of us. And then she goes with this guy, John Getz. She kind of gets with him finally. And by that time, I was such an advocate and a passionate protector of my character. I was possessive and I didn't want her to wind up with him. Wow. And I said, you know, wait a minute, wait a minute. Couldn't it be that, et cetera, et cetera. We had some, I had some dumb idiot conversations.

24:43Who was I to talk to him about that? But as it turns out, it kind of wound up ending kind of like that with her, you know, killing me. Oh, that's cool. We don't have that aftermath where, you know, the bad guy's gone and she's now with this other guy. So I was happy about that. But it was a very, you know, arduous but lovely, passionate experience, etc., etc. I could tell you much about it. It's a great film. It really loved it. It's a great film. Do you think that was the one that kind of really, like, I mean, you've done tons of work before then. Was that the movie that put you over the top or Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

25:16Or what was the one that kind of, like, was... Big Chill was before that, right? Oh, Big Chill, right. Big Chill. Yes, yes. It was stepping stone to one thing led to another. and luckily, because I was, like my teacher, Sandy Meisner, said, it takes 20 years to even call yourself an actor. Now, luckily, I had right away, miraculously, good, some parts, but small parts that led to bigger parts, and I felt like I was learning. And, you know, I guess career-wise, even though that hasn't been my focus, you know, from the start, one thing did lead to another. So, yeah, there was, well, Nashville. I worked with Altman, and I did that movie Nashville, very little part.

25:50Nashville, California Split, yeah. That was nice to be in, and California Split. but then Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Philip Kaufman, fantastic. And that was, I did a movie in 76 before that with Joan Micklin Silver that I got some attention for and that led to some other things. Actually, Lawrence Keston saw that and I think that's what led him to be attracted to putting me in The Big Chill, which led to, yeah, now we're up to the fly and, you know, et cetera, et cetera. We're up to. Any truth to you doing the prequel, The Maggot? No? nice Jason yeah Jason good for you dude you give me a little bit of time I will work on some stuff no but you know you have done you have played you have done so you've been very prolific and you've made a lot of films and so I always want to know we always sort of ask what was the first that you talked about your parents taking you to see film when you were a teenager which is great so I'm sure that maybe you tell us inspired you but what was the first what was your first professional gig where you went, I'm going to do this, and then you actually went out and did it and worked and did a job?

27:02Good question. It was a wild, you know, adventure of the heart. When I was 10 years old, the seed was sort of planted. I got the bug. I was in this camp. I was a part of this drama show. And my dad had already said, if you find something you love to do, that might be a vocational lighthouse and compass. Something clicked in me after this kind of thing when I was 10. And I thought to myself and kept secret to myself, this is what I want to do. I had it then. Wait, this was a theater camp? No. You know, it was a Chatham in Pittsburgh where I'm from. Music day camp, it was called. It wasn't sleepover.

27:38It was six weeks. And they had, I loved this group of people that was different and more my family than the kids I'd gone to school with. and I seemed to excel at art and piano and badminton and softball and arts and crafts. And they had this acting little moment in the day. And at the end of the six weeks, they cast me in this Gilbert and Sullivan takeoff thing where I sang and I was the lead in that. And I kind of rehearsed, you know, with my mom and da-da-da-da. And I leapt on stage, which was my first entrance. And that was it. And I got some laughs, and it was fun, it was exhilarating. And it was after that that they said, hey, how'd you like that?

28:24And I went, I like that. I like that. That drug. Did that inform high school choices and college choices? No? Well, here's what happened briefly. Between 9th and 10th and 10th and 11th grades in Pittsburgh, there was a six-week offering at Carnegie Mellon University in art. and I had some flair for that, and then music, da-da-da-da. And my mom was taking me through the brochure, and she said, you want to go to this thing? I said, yeah. She said, well, they have this acting thing. I said, maybe the acting thing, maybe I'll do that. Really? Yes. Well, I did that, and I was, by the end of that, and I did it for two years running, I was deeply in love with that campus and acting.

29:13And, you know, just, that's when I started to write on the shower door every morning. Please God let me be an actor. And then I tried out for that school. They turned me down. I gave a bad audition to get into the school. It's very competitive. But one of the teachers there, Mordecai Lawner, said, oh, I used to teach with Sandy Meisner. I took with him, then I taught with him. I'll help you on audition if you want to go to New York and audition for NYU and then check in with Sandy Meisner. I did. Sandy Meisner, I lied about my age. You weren't supposed to be 17, but I said I was a year older than I was.

29:49I got in, and that's what happened. I went to the neighborhood playhouse in 1970 when I graduated high school, and at 17, just turning 18 that fall, started that course. I love it. You always hear stories about people lying about their age to get in the Army, never to get into theater school. But no college, Jeff? No college. Good for you. Being in that college six weeks, that was it. Jason and I respect that. Well, that's good. But this was a fancy two-year program if you really wanted to be an actor. And they used to, Sandy Meisner and other people that imitated him, have a jaundiced eye make kind of comments about the college programs.

30:32He did at the time, going, that's not where you learn to act. We from the group theater know what we're doing. And they require you to be a little more cerebral and academic. and this is a real studio and I'm going to teach you the real thing. And he was that real thing and I was imbued with that. That's so cool. Talk to me about, is this true, one of your survival jobs was to do office supplies for prisoners, like to get them office supplies? As you said. How in the world did that... Sharp pencils and things like that? Yeah, like how in the world did you get that job? He had to blunt them. He had to blunt them.

31:07Here's what happened. That's a nice red drink you're drinking there, Jason. What is that? Thank you. It's just red wine that's spoiled. Really? Really? No, it's electrolytes. I like a nice, oh, I see. It's like a Gatorade. I like a nice mocktail these days. You know, I've enjoyed a couple of those recently. I think they're starting to get that down. All these restaurants have on the menu, you know, ooh, they're good. I did. They're really good. Yeah. But the answer to any question, oh, yes. So I lucked into, like I say, a couple of jobs to gentlemen of Verona. The first thing I did on stage at the Delacorte It was a big hit.

31:43Raoul Julia was in it. Galt McDermott wrote the music. Wow. I was in the chorus. I just kind of lucked into that. And then it went to Broadway. I stopped the second year with Sandy Meisner, did this year on Broadway as one of the chorus members and understudied one of the bigger parts, and then went back and finished that second year work with Bill Esper, who people may know. So I did that and then auditioned for a play, El Grunda de Coca-Cola, got that, and then Altman saw me in that, and I auditioned for my first movie, which was Death Wish, I started to work right away, in other words. And I was even supporting myself and all that, except when I came to California four years later after doing Nashville and a couple other things and kind of moved out here and got an agent, Abby Gressler, there was a moment when I was paying rent and my money was getting low, and I thought, geez.

32:35I looked in the trade papers, and they said, hey, are you an out-of-work actor? You want to make a little money? come and do this thing. So I joined this boiler room operation, which I guess is illegal. At six in the morning, you go to Hollywood and you go to this place and you call correction institutions on the East Coast and you say, hi, I'm Bob and we have a government surplus program just went bust and we have a surplus of magic markers and pens and pencils. Can I send you, do you use the green or the red or the blue? Can I send you a gross of the, you know, and you get them to commit to that as my least favorite thing.

33:14And maybe not coincidentally, after a week of that was only my straight job ever. After a week of that, I got this illness. I wound up in the hospital. I'm just too sensitive for that kind of regular work. And after that, I went back to supporting myself, luckily, and ever since with acting. That's amazing. Well, Jeff, so you're saying that selling the markers wasn't a highlight of your career. Oh. Good. Wow. I didn't get that at first. Wow, that's very good. Yeah, I know. You guys are sharp as jacks. Yeah, yeah. It was a tick. It's a tick. By the way, remember Cats and Dogs? We did that movie together, although we weren't on screen together.

33:54Remember that movie? I have, look, I know. I have, these are all the things I want to talk to you about, but I wrote down several things. Notes for you, Sean. Well, several things, you know, that overlap with us, connections that we have. And I have not only Will and Grace, but Cats and Dogs. Really? Okay. Watch this. So here it is. I have Sean Hayes. Hey, I like that. I like just free associating anyway. Anyway, now here's our connections. Oh, my God. Well, Will and Grace, Cats and Dogs. Hey, well, of course you portrayed Jerry Lewis. and I was supposed to play his son in that last movie he did, Max Rose, which Kevin Pollack finally did because I had a scheduling thing.

34:41But Jerry and I hung out in order to bond at his office in Las Vegas for a day. And that was fascinating because I had grown up with his, I kind of adored him early on. Yeah, yeah, same. Wait, Sean, when did you play Jerry Lewis? 2000? And in what? What can I see this in? A movie? I don't know where it is. It was Jeremy Northam. Northam. Okay. He played Dean Martin. So it was about the duo, and they're getting together, and they're breaking up. I'm so fascinated. I've read a lot about that. What film is this, Sean? Why are you trying to bury it? It's called Dean and Jerry. I don't know. Dean and Jerry.

35:23And where is it streaming? Is it on Tubi? Because Jason doesn't get Tubi. He's not sure. Well, hang on. I don't know. Do I get? Grab TV? Oh, my God. What's that? Oh, Martin and Lewis, it's called. Martin and Lewis. Was this a TV film? CBS, yeah, it was a TV, yeah. Oh, it was a CBS TV film. Well, that's why you're being cagey about it. Okay, so listen. I love that. No, I didn't remember that until he just told me. Scott, he just told me. I want to talk about that comedy duo. I want to talk about Jerry. I want to talk about Dean. But talking about you guys, how about the trios? Which brings me to the Three Stooges, of course.

35:56And there's the Marx Brothers. Yeah, yeah. And how about applause? Bravo, I loved it. I loved it. What commitment? Are you kidding me? Bravo. I loved that. I believed it. I believed every moment of that deal. I was transported. Oh, my God. Now, wait. The Three Stooges. I loved when I was a kid. I saw all of their things on television. But listen to this. I saw them live. Oh, wow. They came to a place called the Holiday House in 1960. It must have been, you know, two or five or something. And I saw Mo and Larry and Curly Joe at that time. Yes. And they came into the audience, I remember, and my sister, two years younger than me, was like five or six or something.

36:42Mo, who had big bags at that point, did something to her kind of aggressive. She burst into tears. She kind of retreated. He later got his eyes done and didn't have that problem anymore. Wow. Different mode. Different mode. Different mode. Hey, promises, promises. Jerry Orbach was the original. I love it. And by the way, Jay. I went three times. And you came backstage, and I appreciated that, so thank you. Oh, now we're full circle. Now we're full circle. All right, let's move on to Jason and Will, or I have a bunch of questions for you. Well, Oscar Levant, listen to this, though. My grandmother, Anna Katz, claims she dated Oscar LeVance, who's also in Pittsburgh, on one occasion.

37:28I don't know if that meant he flirted with her, if they had some encounter. I don't know what that means. But anyway, that's our connection. Sean, you did not discover that during your extensive research? I didn't, but I'll use it. Okay. Will Arnett, Arrested Development. Well, I saw every episode of Arrested Development. Oh, bravo! Sean did. I love that. That was on the Fox Network. Oh, it was amazing. Sean's character goes what channel was it on? yeah exactly but I saw it but I loved all your every character in it of course Liza Minnelli I knew a little bit and Charlie's Theron fantastic but the magician the magic in that and I know you've talked about magic before I did magic in that in that movie Nashville and in Wicked I do a little magic so we could talk about magic you are magic You are magic, Jeff.

38:21I bet you you strike me, Jeff, as the kind of guy who knows like a few card tricks and a few sleight-of-hand things. Do you? I know. Well, Robert Altman told me to learn something. I had this guy in New York taught me a bag full of tricks. I brought it to Nashville, and we used a bunch of them. The only thing that I've kept up my sleeve are these rope tricks. Oh, boy. Yes, which I've pulled out too many times, and I know that, and then I know one card trick. That's all I know, but the rope tricks I can do. The rope tricks. That's always tough. You got to make sure you're in a big group for that.

38:53So, Jeff, I want to... I'm pitching that as a halftime show at the Super Bowl. I think those close-up magic would go over well. Sure. We'll be right back.

39:07And now, back to the show. I want to talk about the famous Jeff Goldblum delivery, which is like you're known for. It's brilliant. It's made you work. Don't break it down. Don't break it down. Don't break it down. What do you mean? Don't talk about a magic trick. No, I thought this was interesting. I read that in Invasion of the Body Snatchers it's kind of when you kind of discovered this thing and it was the line, I never thought they would come in metal ships. Is that right? Yes. And now I would say it, I would have never thought they'd come in metal ships, but you would say it. I never thought they'd come in metal ships.

39:42I don't know. I'm not making that up. I have no idea. That's really good. By the way, that's really good. That's good. I'm doing a caricature of my own, you know, from butchering. I don't know. I don't know what it is. I love that. But it was at that moment that Phil Kaufman said, oh yeah, that's good. I like the way he did that. And I kind of thought to myself, hmm, check, note to self. I think that's something. That's something I can build upon. It's so cool. Something like that. Anyway, so there we go. Horton, here's a who. Oh, yes. I love it. Yes. Legos. My kids and Legos. Now, Ozark, wait a minute.

40:14Wait a minute. You know, I did this series recently, Chaos. I played Zeus. And you know who played my wife? Janet McTeer. Oh, boy. She's a beast. She's wonderful. She's incredible. She's incredible. And you know who I know a little bit? I have not seen her since. When she was like, what, 12, 13, 14, something like that, I think, or 15, this girl came backstage. I think this is how it happened to see me in the pillow man. I did this thing at the booth theater. with people you know. I enjoyed doing that. So she came back, I think then, said, oh, I like what you do. You know, I want to be an actress.

40:52Maybe could we talk sometime? And you'll tell, you know, I have a script. We could, you know, read something. And you'll tell me. I said, sure. She seemed like an interesting and smart girl. That was Julie Garner. Oh, wow. Wow. Really? And I have not seen her since. I haven't seen her to congratulate her on everything that's gone on. She's interesting, isn't she? Oh, yeah. Yeah, so what a sweet, sweet person and just a monster talent, yeah. Oh my gosh, well, you know, and then of course, hey, Will Speck, hey, we did the switch, you and I, Dr. Bateman. We played Best Friends, yeah. Best Friends.

41:26In the switch with Miss Jennifer Aniston, directed by the great - Miss Jennifer Aniston. Yeah, Will Speck, Josh Gordon. And Will Speck and Josh Gordon, who directed me in some of these Apartments.com commercials. I adore them. Is that right? No kidding. By the way, I love those commercials. Will Speck and Josh Gordon, who directed Blades of Glory. that I did years ago. Bravo, I love it. It's all degrees of separation. That's right. Jeff, who were your, you know, you hear these stories about actors like these, like, you know, the great Gene Hackman just passed away and you hear, like, he was roommates with Robert Duvall and Dustin Hoffman.

42:00And then you hear these different people who came up. Who were sort of your gang? Did you have, like, a gang of actor friends that we didn't know about or, like, people who worked a lot and you guys were all coming up at the same time? Or was it a more solitary, existence for you? Meaning, did you have no friends?

42:20You know, I fit into the more solitary category. Yeah, really? Yeah. Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Do you mind your business and stay in a dark room by yourself like me? Well, I like time. I have my homework. I'm a good boy and I'm conscientious and I play the piano for an hour every morning and I work out and I like to work on my things. I'd rather not, I don't go to, I don't stay up late in order to hang out or all of that stuff. So, you know, there's that. You can be friends with us by the sounds of it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you're hard workers, obviously. But I adore people and I, you know, like I said, you know, I can imagine being pals with you and I have a good friend, Gary, and Ed Begley Jr.

43:10is a good friend. I love him. From Arrested Development. We love Ed Begley so much. Now, are you a concert pianist like our friend Sean Hayes? He's an incredibly accomplished jazz pianist. I don't know. I'm a humble student, but I do like the jazz. I started off getting the chops playing Cherney and John Thompson and stuff. And this and that. And then discovered the fake books, or now called the real books, and jazz. And I fell in love with that. And that's what happened. And then 30 years ago, I put it in some movies. The Fly character plays the piano. and in our stories. Yeah, that's so great.

43:43Yes, that's right. And in plays, I put it in a couple of plays. And then 30 years ago, Peter Weller said, hey, you know, we did this movie by Corbanzo. He said, let's get together and play a little bit. And then a couple of people told him, Miles Davis, who he knows, and said, oh, you and Jeff should go out and play a gig, and you'll get better and enjoy it. And that's what we started to do. So 30 years ago, I've had this group. Peter Weller kind of went off and did wonderful things, but I've kept this group. Peter Weller, who also worked with David Cronenberg on Naked Lunch and who is also first cousin of Fred Weller, my good friend, theater actor.

44:17Love Fred Weller. I saw him in a play. I saw him on stage, but how about speaking of the movie game? So Naked Lunch takes us to Judy Davis. I've never met her, but I adore her. She's great, yeah. Wow, which takes us to husbands and wives, which takes us to Sidney Pollack or many other people. You had a role in Annie Hall as well, so that takes us who were going. Sure did. So wait, Jeff, has jazz music, like playing jazz music, have you ever had to make a decision about doing acting work over your music? Or do you always kind of make sure everything's separate? Separate. They went on parallel tracks.

44:54Like I said, at 10, I had my heart set on being an actor in my life as a career. Like, have you ever turned down a big movie because you're like, I can't, I have a gig? Nope, nope, I have not. As a matter of fact, I have gigs coming up. We have our fourth album on deck, and we're coming out April 25th. And around that, and so in support of that, we're going to these places to play. We're going to play the Palladium in London. We're going to be in Toronto at Massey Hall, etc., etc., etc. Give us some dates. Give us some dates on those. Do you have dates on those, Jeff? Let's get a plug in here.

45:27Here we go. April 25th. By the time people hear this, it may be too late, but we will have been at the Palladium and my two boys who play the piano, and I work with them. They have a great teacher, but I work with them. are going to come on stage with. It's a surprise. Nobody knows yet. They're going to come on stage with me and play something. I hope that's not abusive. I hope they have a good experience. Yes. And that's what it's for. Anyway, we'll be there. Then Luxembourg, we go. And then on the 26th, April, then May 25th, Atlanta, Symphony Hall. May 27th to the 31st, we'll be at the Carlyle, the Cafe Carlyle in New York City.

46:00I love that. You've been to Carlyle. Of course. I played there before. I saw you play at the Troubadour, I think a long, long time ago. and you're mixing me up with Bob Dylan or something. I don't know. No, no. I've never played the Troubadour. Then it was somewhere else in LA. It was like, I just, anyway, it was incredible. I've been all over the LA, yes. And I did a play at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go down the block from the Cloubadour. Really? Believe it or not. El Grin and the Coca-Cola. Yes, it was a cabaret theater. Any good theater stories from the Whiskey-A-Go-Go? Anything happen there that was, Sean, sorry to cut into your mind.

46:31Jeff, I always ask people if you have any crazy, like, mishap theaters. All right. I know you do. Well, I did the Mooney Shapiro songbook, which there were five of us. Judy Garland. Gary Beach was in it. Gary Beach. Yeah, you know Gary Beach, of course. He was in just five of us, singing and dancing. We were at the Morosco Theater, and we were rehearsed for four weeks. We previewed for two weeks. Opening night seemed to go well. The reviews came out. They weren't so great for the play. I got nice reviews, and then Stuart Ostrow called me up and said, so we're not going to be doing it anymore. What?

47:10What do you mean? Well, Tuesday, this coming Tuesday, we're off tomorrow, Monday. No, no, no, that's all. We didn't sell enough advanced tickets, and the reviews didn't. Oh, geez. So it closed opening night. So that's the kind of thing. Wow. I don't know how funny that story is. So wait, so Jurassic Park, I just want to talk for two seconds, because I was so jealous when you, I was starting at a talk show and you had your own lyrics to the melody and I had my own lyrics that I was singing for years and years and it was - Oh shit, put a wallet in his mouth. Sorry. And do you remember yours? Mine went like this.

47:47Kill the dinosaurs, kill the dinosaurs, kill them all before they eat you. And that was all I had. And then you came on and I was - And you had years to work on that? you're saying? It begs for lyrics, doesn't it? Fuck. I don't know if it begs for it, but here's mine. Here's all I know. In Jurassic Park, scary in the dark, I'm so scared that I'll be eaten. Yeah, that's good. That's good. This is a lyric!

48:21Now, Jeff, with all of the films that you've done, all the projects that you've done, you've done it all. does how do does the way that you choose what job to do has it changed over the years since you've checked so many boxes like what what what gets you to work what what gets you to say yes nowadays a good question well it's always fluid as you know and that's always clarifying itself as the days and the weeks go on but now as i have this family which is i adore and these two little boys, you know, it's not just for any reason that I'm going to go off to, you know, the ends of the earth for a year and, or do a, you know, do all sorts of things.

49:09So it has to be special. And my own criteria, you know, when I was, when Sandy, I took to heart what Sandy Meisner said, and it takes 20 years of constant work and then a lifetime of continual work if you get opportunities to keep growing. And that's a good, worthwhile way to spend your life. I took that to heart. But I went through a couple of decades where I worked a lot and wanted to work and wanted to work more and exercise myself and find and test myself and find out what I had in me and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Now, yes, I have as big an appetite as ever for creative, the creative experience so-called.

49:56but I don't have to work every day. I don't feel ashamed if I'm not working every day. That's okay. And so I want to do special things, special, special things, whatever that means. But talk about that, what I thought you were about to say about, you went through a period where it was all about testing yourself. So that was kind of what drove your decisions. And now are you feeling like, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but it's not like you don't have things to prove to yourself anymore, but is it less of an urgency? Like, yeah? Yes, it's less urgent, although in another way, more urgent, because as we know, time is running out, and I still feel like I'm doing my best work.

50:42I feel at the top of my form, I'm injury-free, and I feel like I'm enjoying it more than ever, I'm freer than ever, and can do my best work. So I feel like grand things could be ahead. And you've satisfied whatever sort of personal doubt might be the wrong word, that whatever you were working through there and sort of having fun exploring, now you've sort of found this place of not satisfaction, but just sort of like, I feel... Content. Thank you. And now work takes on a different role, perhaps? I'm asking all this because I feel like I'm playing with it myself. Well, you're intuitive. You're a good therapist.

51:23You're a good friend. Well, we talk about it all the time, don't we? Like the balance and what are the things that truly make us happy, right? And the way that we measure our happiness, our joy, it evolves over time, especially when you add sort of kids and family and experience and age and all those things. Work represents a different thing in different decades. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All of that. We could talk about all of that at length. But yeah, I'm in the same ballpark. That's right. And movies - Well, we could talk about it over on Smartless After Hours, our new podcast that we're launching.

51:57That's a follow-up. Well, I like this long form. This long form is great to me. I mean, I like the six, seven minutes you spend on these talk shows. And that's another kind of thing, which would be fun to talk about. But I like these. I like listening to them. It's more of a conversation. Yeah, I love it too. Yeah, I do too. And then we're going to end on, by the way, thanks for being in Italy and talking to us for an hour. I mean, this is incredible. I mean, I can't believe. What time is it there? It is, you know, oh, a quarter of eight. Oh, that's not a quarter. The kids are already, I know.

52:28I said hello, but they're now in bed. So it's two. No, no, no. No. Oh, sorry. Two, but I'm sorry. I was thinking two is a quarter of eight. All right. Oh, yeah. A quarter of eight. We all have a quarter of eight. Yeah, look at that. Wow. Oh, sorry. Anyway, hey, you know who sings on our new album is Scarlett Johansson and Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. They have songs. Wow, that's cool. Half are instrumentals and half are singers, and they sing. How about that? That's incredible. Now, Wicked was probably as successful as everyone thought it might be, thank God, and deservedly so. There is a second one coming that you've already shot or that you're going to shoot?

53:12No, no, we've already shot it. We shot them all at once, but they're editing it and scoring it and special effects-ing it. And a fun process, I'll bet, despite all the special effects and the wardrobes and all those things. A wardrobe was fantastic. You know, he won an Oscar for that. Yeah, that was great. But John M. Chu is a delightful director and a very, very masterful director. And that cast and Jonathan Bailey, whom I saw here in Richard II the night before, the Seagull show by the way he was terrific and those and Ariana and Cynthia it was a magical and great great experience I loved that show when I first saw it with Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth and cried my eyes out at that and so I loved playing that Joel Grey played the part originally on stage oh yeah it's great well just great great congratulations yeah big congratulations that's amazing you're a titan it's always so fun to see you in anything So when you pop on the screen, you're like, ah, I'm going to be taking care of the audience.

54:13Truly, truly, you elevate. You raise all boats, my friend. You raise all boats. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you are so fun. This is a great honor. I hope we see each other often and immediately. Get back to this country. But I know now comes the part of the show. I'll say my farewells. And now, nobody's sung this song, because you always say nice things afterwards. You have a little recap and a debriefing. But you know that song? Please don't talk about me when I'm gone. Yeah. You know that song, Please Don't Talk About Moon on Gun? Yes, of course. That's a good thing. And then, of course, do you know that song from Oliver?

54:46You know any songs from Oliver, Sean? Well. Who will this glory? No, I know. I know as long as he needs me. Yeah, but. Who will hide this wonderful thing? Who will hide this wonderful thing? I don't know. I don't know. What is it? Who will buy? Buy. Oh. Wait, what are the words? Who will buy what? Who will buy this floor? Something, something, something. Who will buy this? Okay. Thank you. A guest has never given us a buy. Given us a buy. Okay, well, now you give it. It's so good. I love it. He's given us an out. And, of course, I sung on one of those albums. I sang, little man, you're crying.

55:25I know why you're blue, which is a version of a, what you sing to your kids when they go to bed, a lullaby. Oh, there's another one. Save it, save it, save it, save it, save it. He's waving goodbye. All right, Jeff. Thank you so much. We love you. I love you so, so much. Goodbye. I'll see you soon. Bravo. Bravo. Bravo. Yeah. That was amazing. Yeah, he's great. Jeff Goldblum. I mean, we didn't get to Wes Sanders. He's worked with all the greatest directors, Wes Sanders, and Stephen Spielberg. No, he's done something like 80 films or something. It's insane. And like almost no bad ones. No, almost no bad ones and always happy.

56:03Always happy. Always happy. And again, another one of those, never a bad performance. Yeah, you never catch him acting. He's just always doing, he's got his own rhythm. And you know what, I think you're right not to sort of dissect his thing and not that I would know how, but if I were to guess. Well, no, I only did it because I read that he likes to talk about it. Well, but it's like, he's, you can see the next thought coming into his head. And so he races through the old thought to get to the new, like there's, he's always like, that's, I don't know, I try to do, I try to think about what I'm going to say before I say it, which is how the brain works.

56:42But in acting, you have the line in front of you. You know what's coming, and that's the missing point. You have to sort of like get the thought first. But sometimes don't you feel like I didn't want him to share it? Like you don't want to know too much how the sausage is made. And Sean, correct me if I'm wrong. You just want to enjoy the sausage. Sausage, that is correct. Yeah, just the sausage, correct. Yeah, that is right. That is correct. Just enjoy the sausage. You keep the casing on it or cut the casing. It doesn't matter. You can be cut. massage the casing and make sure it's all evenly.

57:13Oh, boy. Boy, that took a real turn, man. I tell you. That took a real turn. What about the, what's that song from Oliver you said? What was it? Who Will? No. Bye. Oh, no. No, I think the better image is just sort of like a nice, peaceful house there in the Italian countryside yeah and the family's going to bed yeah and the kids the kids go you go to sleep you go to sleep and then you might sing them something right Sean how would that song go you know lullaby and good night oh my god you got somewhere you gotta go yeah that's lazy I mean lullaby lullaby bye lullaby you know what just bye Bye-bye.
