 I had Walker Bueller, who at that stage was about 22, and I think he's only about 25 now, but he was like going for rookie of the year, and he was the top pitcher and all that sort of stuff, and I was a huge fan of him, like the Dodgers had this new pitcher, and I was like, and he commented on one of my clips. Brilliant. What do you need? You're covered for a month. So I got all nervous to write back to the fucking 21-year-old man, you know what I mean? Like at this stage, I'm like a 40-year-old guy. Yeah, you're married, 40, but he's basically a heart woman. Yeah, yeah, and I'm just like, oh, okay. And so I wrote this. Don't want to waste your time. I went like this, hey, I just saw you commented on my clip, and I'm a big fan of yours, and I go, if you ever want to come and see my show, I'll get you three tickets. I've already got season tickets to see you, and then I said something like that because it was when Bryce Harper was about to be signed somewhere else. I go, I hope to see you play next year with Bryce Harper, and then I put like a winky emoji, and I still feel like- You've humiliated yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you know- And he just hit you back with a thumbs up. Thumbs up! That's all he wrote back. That's a loss. Oh, the thumbs up is the full stop of the sentences, the end of a conversation, the thumbs up. Did you ever hear from him again? I think he liked another one of me post. I haven't, you know- You can't go back. You know famous people, and it's like sometimes you push to make a friendship, you go, I'll give it a go. Yeah. And then you don't get it back, and you're like, all right. Yeah, like I gotta leave it. Yeah, I gotta leave it. I gotta leave it there. Ryan Reynolds DM me about one of my bits, and I was like, hey, you wanna come on my podcast? Haven't heard from him. Okay. But Mint Mobile does, Ryan Reynolds hit me up, direct message me many years ago. Was it about the gun control bit? Cause mine was about mine. I think it was about gun control. Yeah, I think it was about me. Incidentally, I wrote the gun control bit on, I had a sitcom on FX that people liked, but no one really saw called legit, right? And- You're a good actor though. Oh, thank you. Yeah, thanks. Like you never pushed. It wasn't like what you did with the baseball child. Well, have you seen me? I'm in an episode of SWAT playing a computer hacker called Shadowbox. Like, literally one of the ADs on legit was like, we had an actor drop out right now. Can you come and be a computer hacker on SWAT? And I'm like, yeah, go on. Yeah, good, okay. And I'm like, there's a lot of me on a computer like this. I'm the mic. How many scenes? Two or three scenes. I read so little of the script, I didn't know whether my character was a good guy or a bad guy. So funny. Which is, he probably didn't know in real life. He probably had his own opinions of himself. He was probably the hero in his own story. What was I saying about legit? Like, I had a sitcom. Oh, you had- Oh, Ryan Reynolds. The gun control, and the gun control. Okay, so the gun control thing was written because John Ratsenberg, who played Cliff Clavin and Cheese, he was a dad in the sitcom. I was, he really is like Cliff Clavin. Does anybody know anything about plumbing? Well, Romans had no average system of aqueducts here, Sammy. Great guy, real fun hanging. Loads of good Hollywood stories, right? And I'm standing next to him when Sandy Hook happens. And I literally have Cliff Clavin turn to me, like in that moment, and just go, eh, none of this would have happened if those teachers had guns. When will these liberals learn this, right? And I went, and as an Australian, you know, with my little socialist heart, I just sort of turned, I just went, you fucking, I argued with him for two or three days. And at the end of it, the whole thing was, that was, the whole routine was ready to go. I didn't have to run it or anything. It was just shit you had said to him. It was arguments to Cliff Clavin. God damn it, that's great. So that's why they're all just little, tiny rational thoughts throughout the routine. They're not really statistic based. They're just sort of, but wouldn't this happen if this happened? Like, you know what I mean? One of my favorite punchlines of it is, is none of you give a shit about home security? None of you go to home security conventions? None of you read padlock monthly? God damn it, that's funny. So, so, I saw Ryan Reynolds, he writes to me, and then he invites me to see a premiere of some movie, just in a bar type of thing. And I meet him and he's super nice and we chat a bit. And that's one of the things where I think, oh, here may be me and Ryan. Like if I was more charming, I don't know a third of Rexham right now. But, so what happened was that Brad Pitt paid me weatherman. Sure thing, Jim. On the Jim Jeffery show, when he stopped being my weatherman, they literally, the show was like this, who else can you get to be the weather person? Luckily, like Seth Rogen did it for one of the episodes. That's right, man. But I was like, I kind of know Ryan Reynolds. So I wrote to him and he's like, yeah, I'll do it. And then I kept on, I think I pushed a little bit too much. And then I was like, I think the last text message was like this, I'll take your wife. I don't even need you. I'll have a weather lady. I'm running out of options here. The show's about to be canceled. I need something, buddy. Yeah. And did she do it? No, no, I don't think Ryan Reynolds follows me anymore, nor have I been invited to a Rexham game. So I pushed you hard. It's a tough one. Yeah, I could have. But then, you know, what were we gonna do? Hang out? I don't know. At a certain, what do you think is the age of no return on friendships? It gets difficult after 30, but it gets really difficult after four. You can still move country at 30. You can move to another country and meet some people and that type of stuff. You'll have to get some people who, you know, the easiest people to make friends with are the childless. Childless people you can make friends with various. Yeah, they got nothing going on. They're up for lunch. Yeah, fuck. And you wanna hang, you wanna take a walk after? There's a lot of time. But the child folk, they're, oh no, you can't, and I agree with them. Yeah, yeah, I've got it. When you have a baby, that's you for friends until that child's like seven. Yeah. You can't get, no, I have a two-year-old at the home at the moment and I have some people that are like, hey, can we get dinner sometime? I'm like, no, I've got going to work in this kid, you know what I mean? You get like 12 date nights a year and me and my wife use them on each other. Sure. You know what I mean? Like to make sure our marriage is good. Yeah, like, are we still married? Yeah. Yeah. Should we renew this? Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know why we started talking about Ryan Reynolds, but oh, the gun control bit. Yeah. The gun control, yeah, that's, you were gonna be friends with Ryan Reynolds. What happened to you? Why did you not get to be friends with him? You just didn't even make- I invited him on here. Oh, you invited him on here? Yeah, which is like, I don't know. You follow me, you clearly and like Letterman did it and like, you know, every pretty much most big and Seinfeld's gonna do it. Like, I don't know, it doesn't seem out of the question. No, it doesn't seem out of the question. And then sometimes people will surprise you and they'll do more than you think they're gonna do. Yeah. It's, like, Brad was my weatherman. I thought that would be a big enough calling card that I could get someone else to do. Yeah, somebody up now. No, I know it is a one-off. I'm made to Russell Crowe and Crowe was like, he had a very, he said he'd do it, but he had a very exact view on what type of weatherman he wanted to be. Little two, not, he was being an actor. He never worked out in our schedules, but he was gonna do it. Yep. Hey, did you like that? Did you like that? Yeah, did you like it though? You want more? Don't wanna work? Would rather watch videos of me grab acid with people. First of all, go up here to subscribe and then go up here to watch more clips. This is like when the weatherman says there's a high pressure system coming in. I'm not really used to the green screen.
