Forget Uncle Sam, I'm the uncle you actually wna hang out with. I'm Alzo Slade and here's your host at the Studo Breaker Theater in the Fine Arts builduilding in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Seagl. Thank you, Alzo. Thank you all It's great to be with you. We, like apparently everybody is, we are so happy to be celebrating America's two hundred fiftieth birthday with the rest of you. People are having parties, parades, cookouts, even reenactments. Alzo, how are you celebrating? I like walking up to those reenactors dressed up like the founding fathers and saying, Boo So while the nation looks backward, so will we with some of the highlights from the past year or so. We start with a visit from the actor and devoted Chicago guy John KQusack, who joined us on stage in March. Thanks for having me. I have a habit when I'm talking to actors with astonishingly long and very careers like yours of asking what role they're most recognized for. But since I started this show with a say anything joke Do people ask you to either pretend to hold a boombx up like Lloyd did in the movie, or do they ever do that to you? No, I haven't had them do it to me, but they have asked me to hold it up, but I tell them I only do that at parties. But yeah, but there's been a strong reaction to that character at times. But there are no boom boxes anymore. so they just ask you to hold your iPhone up. Yeah I told my wife that you were gonna be in the show and I saw a look in her face I've never seen before. and she's like, Jhk Hsack, really? And she told me that your character, Lloyd, holding that boombx, just absolutely blew her away, It was the most romantic thing she had ever seen. And I poulled all the women I know and they all agreed. Well As I said, people like that character in that film a lot, which is pretty cool. Live Nation still does some screenings of the movie, and we do a Q and A afterwards, and people get pretty rowdy, which is fun. And a guy came up to the mic right over there and he said, My wife left me because she said I wasn't you Now, I sort of had the look that you're I know. Well, you're thinking about my look and your look. I'm thinking about that look my wife gave me I mentioned earlier, But you gotta go home., gotta go guys. But the gentleman stopped and then he said, and I want to thank you from the bottom of And he literally dropped the mic and I thought that kind of covers the whole game. Right I know this is a very tough question. I was thinking about your movie career. I know I have a favorite movie of yours, which in my case would be being John Malkovich. Do you have a favorite of all the ones you've done? And I know there are a lot and a lot of great ones thinkink back on them and they're sort of like a little bit of a fever dream. And some of the ones that I wrote and Chr blank? Yeah, that's I love a great one. What's a fun one I think just because that kind of black comedy doesn't done that much. That's the movie in which you play a hitman who goes back to his, if I'm not mistaken, tenth high school reunion or I think it was was was tenth. And I'm told that that was inspired by you actually attending your own high school reunion in Evanston. Yes. And you were like, So there youre back, and youre by that time a very accomplished and well known actor And did you really say to yourself and discuss with your collaborators in the fm? You know it would be really cool if I was a hit man Well, I thought to myself I wrote the script and I said, Well, if we get funding for this, that's the only way I'll go to my ten year high school reunion. Really? as's research. Yes. wow. I didn't think we'd get the funding, but then we did, so I had to go. I thought you were going say you were inspired after going to your high school reunion because when you went there, you were like, I can't stand any of these foods What this place needs is a hitmact You still live here in Chicago where you grew up, which I think is great. I do And that is not a choice that a lot of people who get very successful in entertainment business make, whyy did you stay here or come back? perhaps? Have you been to LA? I have. Yeah And Yeah, I guess we don't really need to talk about that anymore. And I love this, you get around Chicago by scooter. It's true. When you're riding up and down in your scooter Do like people ever like pull up to you in division and look at you and go, Hey, it's John Kus. Yeah, everyvery once in a while. Yeah in a car. Yeah. And this is Chicago. they're gonna to be cool about it, right? Everyone's so cool about it. Yeah. Yeah They're basically they just go like, Oh, hey, Chicago was. I love about I heard this. I might get your assistant in trouble because we were talking about, Oh, when's John getting? He's coming in Inespa And she told me that your Vespa, which is a beautiful old Italian scooter, runs on gasoline, but not very much at a time, right? It's got a small gas tank. And so she told me you have like a bottle filled with gasoline. That might be true. although that might be too much information for M. g it out. I'm like, okay, so you're ring around your Vespa and you're like,' gas. reach into the pocket, pull out the bottle couldoo. I don't even know if what I'm doing is legal, but sound it. Yeah. Peter you're a snith. I know. That' terrible If any members of the Chicago pololice are listening, remember? No. It's John Kussack. You're not going to bother. I'm gonna get my Vespa search Yeah Yeah. S got a search exlamable contand. gotta see if you got two threeree bottles of gas in there. You've written a graphic novel. I grew up reading this kind of graphic novel very big in Europe. In your case, this graphic novel is about three hundred pages long and it features Sex, violence, drugs, aliens, Jackie Gleason, and a plot centered around the very real French avant garde artist and philosopher, Antonine Arteau. So you've sold out and gone mainstream. Well, just think of a metaphysical crime movie mixed with like kind of a drug mule movie mixed with ET. I think French Connection meets ET, meets my dinner with Andre, meets Smokey in the Bandit, meets the Mike Douglas showow. Another of those? Yes. All that again. It's a shame to see an actor put on the showel. He becomes so derivative his career. The origin of it was I love this artist O. And then I thought, well, no one's going to give me money to make that movie yet. But if I write a graphic novel, I always believe in the possibility of possible. Sure. It's pretty funny and very bizarre, and I recommend it to everybody. Oh, thank you. It's really. Thank you for reading it. Oh, my pleasure. I know speaking for myself, I could talk to you all day, but we have business to do. John Husack, we are thrilled to have you here and we have invited you here to play a game we're calling sayay Nothing. As we discussed, you started the iconic movie Say Anything, so we thought we'd ask you about people who should have kept their mouths shut. Answer two of the three questions about some unwise statements, you'll win ourrize one of our listeners Wh is the legendary John Kusack playing for Jill Ferrell of Beaverton, Oregon. All right. I'm going do my best for you, Jill.verton hear. Here's your first question. Gerald Ratner was the head of Ratner's Great Britain's largest jewelry store chain when he unfortunately called his own company's products quote, crap How did he try to undo the damage Was it A, by trying to convince people that crap was a slang word he learned from his kids that meant really great? B by having all his company's stores put up a sign in the window saying, what we mean by crap, cheap, reliable, and affordable prices or C by saying, quote, producing crap is a universal part of the human experience I'm going follow the wisdom of The good and great Jason Benett. Yes. last week. Always pick B. And you and Jason are right. It ist. His plan was a bit of a sign saying crap means cheap, reliable and affordable prices. It did not work. And he had to step down from the company. and to this day, according to least one source we found in the United Kingdom saying something really stupid and self destructive for no reason is still called pulling a rater. Wow, That was really good. Here's your next question. In two thousand five, former French President Jacques Chirac caused a diplomatic incident with the UK when he made a comment to Vladimir Putin that was caught on a hut mic. What did he say about the British? A, you can't trust people who cook as badly as that look, they were once conquered by us. How tough can they be Or see, they think they're all Winston Churchill, but they're really just Benny Hill Here's a problem. Yeah. Can I say what I want to pick? You make Yeah, this is your game. I want it to be C, but I think it's A. And you're right, it was A. Yeah.. Of course He's French. Of course, he's going insultter coookking. He also Of course, he's French, and he's not gonna know who Benny Hill is. Exactly Al true. Yeah. He also said on the same hut mike incident that the only thing the British had contributed to agriculture was mad cow disease You're doing really well. Here's your last question. A lot of sports broadcasts, as I know you know, m the crowd, as well as the announcers and sometimes it can backfire as at a lacrosse game between Sacred Heart University. in Sienna College last year when the mike picked up One Sienna fan yelling what that made the ESPN broadcast? Was it A? We wish we were watching football Be stab them in the sacred heart Or C, sacred heart has diarrhea Wow, Wow. Wow. I mean I want all of the differentifferent sections doing different chants, you know I think based on the state of America, it must be sea. It is sea. ye. That's pretty sad. But No The chant from Asiena fan who found the mic and ran up to it and yelled into it was hard to make out, but hopefully, one of the ESPN announcers said they're chanting, Sacred Heart has diarrhea. I'm sure he got a bonus that. He did. Alzo, how did John KQusack do in our quiz? He said something. He got three out of three, He's a winner Yeah John Kusack is an actor, writer, and producer. His new graphic novel, Momo is available now. He's also a proud Chicago guy. John Kusack, thank you so much for joining us Thank. John Kusack, everybody When we come back, you got demons, no worries.

I'm Azo Slade, and here's your host at the Studo Baker Theater in the Fine Arts builduilding in Chicago, Peter Sgel. Thank you, Azo. Thank you everybody It is America's two hundred fiftieth birthday. and I have to say, America, you do not look a day over two hundred. Did you notice they boatoxed the coast of Maine? It's as smooth as Florida now One way to stay young is to constantly dwell on the past. and we're not just saying that as an excuse to take the week off Last year, Netflix had its biggest hit ever with the animated musical, Kpop Demon Hunters Ardin Cho, who was the voice of Demon Hunter Roumi, joined us in February to talk with guest host Nagine Farsade Thankving me. Well so I have to be honest with you, I have a love hate relationship with Rumi, Voiced by you because I have a seven year old daughter. and I see where this is going. And I hear I hear your voice all the time U are mad at you for making the most popular movie of all time. They are kind of at this point a bit sick of it. but on theip side, I've heard that, you know, at least it's something that has a positive message and at least their kids are, you know, enjoying it together all ages and it is very like family friendlyit What's your daughter's name? Rikah. Okay, Rikah. Well, Rumi says you better listen to mama. Oh my God. she s. You then. Oh my God. I get up on replay for the rest of her life. That's what's gonna happen. R, I mean Romy, Arden Christ., you really have he.'m so sorry. I literally do hear your voice way too much. Okay. So one of the really unexpected things about you is that, you know you're not just an actor and you're so many more things and one of those things is a champion play likeike you are internationally ranked, how did that happen? I was actually a psych major in college and I always loveved the game. I've just respected it so much. and I really wasn't great. I've always been quite shy and I'm not much of like a partier and quite more of an introvert, so I like these quiet settings It's taught me to be confident and take risks Learn to say no and to bet on myself. I'm often underestimated. I think people are just like not expecting anything from me. And then they're like, oh, she's O maybe she I love it that you've put such a positive spin on a degenerate practice. Well, there are degenerate parts in that world for sure. But I find that there are a lot of really great parts in that world as well. I've met a lot of really cool players, people who are like I want to like hang out with my friends, but I don't want to sit in a club. It's kind of like a nice alternative. Yeah. So Arden, you actually had some news recently that you got engaged. Congratulations H happened that day right after you got engaged at the TSA precheck line. Can you tell us what happened? Oh my goodness, it was so funny Well, it was actually before we got engaged. My fiance and I were flying to Hawaii. but we always You know, get in together and you know, we're flying business and so I didn't have TSA precheck at the time. He did. And all of a sudden, he's just like, I'm gonna go this way into the TSA precheck line and leave you. And I was just like, wait, what? And you were like, I want to marry that man. Well, no, no, we weren't engaged yet. He was sneaking away because he was afraid that they'd take out the ring and that I would see it. people lying for our friends wedding So I thought all of a sudden he was being ultra competitive and say we could go faster. And then of course the next day he proposed, I was like, Oh, everything makes sense. Right Like it wasn't just being a jerk. Yeah. Well, you had a whirlwind year, Arden We've asked you here to play a game that we're calling K pop Demon Hunters Meet K Mart bargain hunter.. That's right. We're going you three questions about the late great discount store Kmart. Answer just two of them correctly and you'll win our prize for one of our listeners. Bill, who' At and playing for? Gina Hoffman of Sacramento, California. Okay, Gina, I'm gonna try my hardest. I'm quite competitive. I shall try. All right, here's your first question By the twenty ten s, KMart was struggling to keep up with Walmart and Target. So they tried to do anything they could to grab people's attention. Like which of these commercials? Was it A, an ad where a woman stripped from a parka down to her underwear to show all the different kinds of clothing that were on sale Was it B? an ad promoting free shipping for online orders that used the phrase, I can ship my pants eleven times. Or was it C, an ad with a jingle that went Kmart. It's KK Kmart T guys That's correct.. They ran another ad for Kmarts with gas stations attached talking about their big ass savings. So they were really doing it, Kmart. All right, here we go. Here's your next question. In twenty nineteen, a man named Andrew Lippy was arrested for stealing hundred dollars worth of goods from a Kmart in Florida This came as a shock to people. Why? Was it A? Because he was the manager of the Walmart across the street T B, he was a city councilman who ran on promises to fight shoplifting Or see, earlier that week, he had bought his own private island for eight million dollars Yeah No wrong it is C. see I thought Wow. Here's your last question While Kmart is all but gone in the US, there are over three hundred Kmarts in Australia But one mom in Melbourne is furious with the company because the toy lion she bought there for her son was what? A, anatomically correct Wes it be louder than a jackhammer Or was at se, stuffed with a combination of styrofoam and gunpowder H A That's right. it was A. Wow Oh, my goodness This lion I've been so nervous in my life. Pay attention to the these ads Nude. No, this lion was clearly a male and some toy designer was definitely trying to get fired. My goodness How did Arden do on our quiz? Arden can stop hunting demons ' she got two out of three, which is a win for us for joining us. Arden Cho is the voice of Romy in Netflix's K pop Demon Hunters, which is nominated for best animated film at this year's Oscars. Arden Cho, thanks for joining us Hi Ay. I first became a fan of Asif Manvi when he was one of the hilarious correspondents in the Daily showhow, but when he joined us in March, he talked about all the odd jobs as a performer he had before he made it big. used to perform in murder mysteries where we would go under like sort of incognito into these parties and then someone would get killed And and one of the most u One of the most infamous ones that I ever did was at a An Orthodox Jewish meet like they were they were trying to meet people to get married. like like a singles meet up meet up thing, right? And we go in there And I just want to pause and say somebody organized a singles meet upp for Orthodox gys and said to themselves, you know what would make this a really great even. Yeah, exactly. If somebody were murdered Yeah. All right, you in there. And so I just remember that I was one of the other actors Wh I used to work with at the time was Connie Britton. and she was sort of chatting up this guy who I just remember was wearing a yellow suit so I'll tell you everything about him. Yeah. And He thought And she was really chatting him up and he thought he had hit the jackpot. Right. He' like this is like this beautiful woman is talking to me twenty minutes into it, he she was killed A B. I've had dates like that. I'm just sympathetic. You are going on Broadway in this revival of the Noel Coward play with the great Rose Burnne, among many others. The other thing you have coming out is a TV show on Peacock, a comedy called The Miniature Wife. And I have to say, I heard the title and I said to myself, o, that must be like a metaphor, It's about a wife. She's be in the shadow of her husband. She feels small That's not what it's about. is it? No No. It's about a man who has He iss a scientist who has designed sort of a serum that can miniaturize crops to combat climate change. So you know Matthew McFaden, who I love from succession and Elizabeth Banks, who I worked with many years ago in Williamstown is literally six inches tall. Yes and lives in the doll house. much But they hate each other and they're constantly trying to kill each other. So it's Honey I Shrant the kids meets Tom and Jerry. Did you have to spend any time on set like crouching down and pretending you're talking to a six inch high Elizabeth? Yes. later in the season, I do Matthew hides the whole storyline of his wife from me for a long time until he finally can't. And then there is a moment where he and I are both on the floor talking to a a small cardboard cut out of Elizabeth Banks. R. And they would sort of move her around and sort of pretend like she was walking. I have one more question for you. Like I said, at the beginning, I first knew you and become a big fan when you were on the Daily Sh. but I heard a story. I don't know how this could be true that you ended up appearing on the Daily showh the same day you auditioned for it Yeah How is that even That is true. A couple of days earlier, I had found out that my ex girlfriend had gotten engaged. And so I was very upset and I was writing one of those letters. No, know that you write to your ex girlfriend saying how you up, you know and I can't say that. Can I say that? I mean You just It's all right. Noook figure it out.. Anyay. So I'm writing this I get this call to come an audition for the Daily Show. and I was in such a bad place that I said, I can't come in today. I don't feel that can I come in tomorrow? And they said, No if you don't come in Today then it's done. So I literally just like put on a suit and I went in and I honestly just had this like attitude of like, I'm never going to get this. This is ridiculous. like I'm in the wrong frame of mine. And John met me and he said and I was a little bit surly and I said because he said to me, he said, if you you know, have you ever performed in front of a live audience? and I remember looking at it and just being like Dude I've been on Broadway And And I had such but I just did my best Stepven Cobert impression because that's all I needed to do and I was a fan of the show. And he hired me right there on the spot. And I was on the show that night And I didn't even get a chance to tell anybody and suddenly it was just I was on the show and people were calling me. We were like, There's a guy. There's a. He was on the Dalily show tonight so I didn't even get to tell my family until after it was on. Did it comfort you? maybe given the circumstances of the day to know that maybe Your ex girlfriend would see you on this hit incredibly culturally significant TV show and think to herself, My God, what have I done U you know, it's so funny. like The minute I got the Daily show, I didn't really care about my ex girlfriend that much. There you go. Lesson for you all, . As Madvi, it's a pleasure to talk to you. We have asked you here today to play a game we're calling Miature wife, Met miniature groom. So your new series is the miniature Wife. and we're gonna ask you about a place you usually find miniature brides and grooms on top of wedding cakes. Answer two to three questions correctly. You'll win our prize for one of our listeners, the voice of their choice on their voicemail, Bill, who is Assif Monvy playing for? Linda Evers of Collinsville, Illinois. All right Rady of the plan. Sure. Here's your first question. Wedding cakes have been around since at least ancient Roman times, but the tradition back then was a little different Instead of the bride and groom cutting the cake together, what would happen? A, The bride would throw the cake as far as she could and the groom would go find it and bring it back be they would break the cake over the bride's head or C. they would put a live squirrel inside it and wait for it to eat its way out, Thus, cing the cake. I'm gonna go with B. Yes, you're right. They would break the cake from the dry tab. Oh, they lost a lot of good brides back then. And All right, here's your next question. Wedding cakes, of course, are a tradition now If you were getting married in seventeenth century Europe, you and your guests would most likely be cutting into what at the wedding celebration. wouldould it be a what was known as the bride's Pie A savory pie filled with oysters, lamb testicles, and occasionally live snakes be potatoes basically just dozens and dozens of potatoes or see just the air or as wedding planners of The time called it a cake of the mind J I'm gonna say that they were just cut into potatoes because potatoes just had a lot of potatoes at the time. No no, it was actually A the brride's pie. According to Wikipedia, in addition to the other tasty things, they would occasionally put a live snake there to quote, help guests to pass the time in a wedding. I guess they did that because at the time They needed entertainment and they had no DJs. Right. That's true. That is true. So DJs didn't come around until about the eighteen hundreds. Exactly true. Yeah. You have one more chance, if you get this right win. one the one tradition Today that every wedding expert tells you just skip it. Don't do it is when the groom smashes the cake into the bride's face, right or the bride does it or the groom. One couple went so hard in the cake smashing bit that after they cleaned up, this just happened in January, they did what? A, they did it again, smashing each otherth in the faces with the entree from dinner and then all the side dishes. B, they handed out cupcakes for their guests to smash on each other to join the fun or see they got divorced the audience you think they got divorced? Is that with the audence? The audience think they got divorced. All right, I'll go with the audience. And they're right. You have to listen to the audience. They right Bill, how did Asismind be doing our quiz? I I've got two right, and that makes him a winner. Congratulations. We a help a little help.. We're all here to help each other. It's a community. Assis Mani, what a pleasure to talk to you.

Thank you, Alzo Thanks, everybody. We are celebrating America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday like most people by looking back with admiration and pride on its history. Well, not the whole two hundred fifty years, and not necessarily the history of the whole country, Basically just the recent part of its history that involves just us. Less significant events on the world stage, sure But also way less to apologize for. Our panelists strangely never apologize for not knowing the news, even though it's their job to answer questions about it. Here are some of the questions we pose to our panelists that you have never heard before U Josh, Yes. this season, Major League baseball A lot of changes, Catchers are reporting that there is a huge increase this season in the number of times, what happens? U It's not falling asleep during the games because they've tightened those up. Yes, I have. It's something that's happening two catchers. To catchers? Yes More frequently than it used to. Is batters hitting them with the bat? Not with they're not getting hit with the bat. like catcher interference? No. No. getting hit Umpires hitting them? No Damn you sir. Damn you I know what you're doing. Back of my hand to you, sir. Getting slided into? No, I'll give you a hand. Sometimes after a foul ball, the catcher also ends up with fouled balls. Oh. Catchers getting hit in the groin? Yes, by baseballs. Yes. S. Catchers are taking baseballs to the junk a lot more than they used to And players told New York Times that there's been a huge increase this season in that You know, getting hit by a baseball Riten the peanuts and cracker jacks I mean it's great because Major Leagueaseballs been working so long to make baseball more entertaining And they've finally done it. Now, the phenomenon is due primarily to this new stance that catchers are using behind the plate. They don't crouch behind the plate anymore. Most catchers are down on one knee with their other legs splayed out straight which is a lot less fatiguing over the course of the game. But it's basically when you do that, you're giving the pitcher two targets to choose from. If I had two options of how to stand and one of them got me hit in the testicles with a baseball a lot more than the other one That would make my choice for me. I would say enough. But when you're doing your list of pros and cons. Yeah, I would pretty much be the only one on list. less fatigue on one side, hit repeatedly in the testicles with a ninety mile an hour fastball But then how are you going to win Americ's funniest com? Shane, baseball star Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies posted a get ready with me video, right? on Instagram. But he got a lot of heat after he revealed he brushes his teeth by doing what? I use a baseball bat No I do it. No. All right I do this, so I think it might be this 'cause I never thought this was. I put the toothpaste directly onto my tongue That's it! And we're both great athletes.ue. So this is amazing. 'ause Bryce he's like doing this, getet ready with me video and he just takes the toothpaste and he squeezes it into his mouth, puts down the toothpaste, grabs the toothbrush and starts scrubbing. Yeah. We're both alphas. wa a minute, and everybody was like, this is so weird. noobody else in the world does this. And we right here have discovered the other human being who does this This is amazing. Oh So cing A God I never thought I'd have something in common with someone who plays for Philly. So what, Shane is the advantage of squeezing the toothpaste onto your own tongue rather than placing it on the toothbrush as God intended? No you want to know my logic behind it truly is that This is insane, but I take it and I put it on my tongue And by the way, I feel your judgment. I don't think they're trying to hide it. And then I take my tongue and I press it to the roof of my mouth because people brush their tongues. But people don't talk about brushing the roof of your mouth, and I don't understand why you wouldn't. becausecause it's still What that got to do with you putting it on your tongue? I just like It's an even application. Oh, I see it It's like you're squeezing two pieces of bread together to get the sandwich all. Yes. This is boy brush your teeth. That is. 'ause y'all locked it immediately together. I see this Okay. Does this seem insane to? Yes, it does. because you could brush the rof of your mouth if you wanted to do that by putting on the brush.

She trained in a boxing gym in Providence, Rhode Island. Kaylee Reese was nominated for her role opposite Jodie Foster in True Detective, Night Country, which came very soon after her transition to acting. It was my third professional acting job, first TV show ever. Wow And from a very young age, when did you start boxing Around the age of thirteen or fourteen, I found boxing prior to that. I did I played softball, I played basketball. I'm one of five kids. I'm the youngest girl. I always tried to do what my big brothers did. but nobody in my family boxed. It was kind of, you know, growing up, I wanted to be the karate kid. I wanted to be Bruce Lee, you know, I was so obsessed with Rocky so kind of ust kind of happened. Yeah. Wow. I mean, you were obsess with Rocky. Wait a minute. I know some elite athletes, it doesn't just kind of happen, right? You must have like really been dedicated to it. Yeah, I was dedicated to it. I mean, you know, I was a little rough kid growing up, you know, I wouldn't I wouldn't start fights but I'd finish them. Oh yeah. So I didn't like to see kids getting bullied. I didn't like getting bullied, so I would always be the one standing out for the bullies, but it wasn't like I wasn't trying to be a fighter. I do come from a very musically inclined family, very artistic family. Fun fact, my father used to actually play with Marky Mark in the Fky bunch. She was No Really? O of the bunch He was part of the bunch. She was a keyboard player. So there was good vibrations everywhere. Wait a minute You're a descendant of Marky Mark. you truly are New England rooyalty. that is I take that. I know that is amazing. And so again, I stress how amazed I am that with a background not in acting, how good an actor you are, I know you have talked about how the discipline and focus of elite boxing has helped you in the acting world. But isn't there an element of acting and boxing? mean in the way ends when you're like glaring at the opponent? You're like frning a little bit, right? I mean, did that Oh it's an entertainment business at the very at the very core of it. I mean, we're up on a stage, We're performing, you know, there's a character. I'm not going around one shot and hit people on the street. That's not who I am as a person, but it's also like, you know, you have to be an artist. You have to, you know, you have to be really calm. You have to prepare So but there are people who build characters, big charismatic entertainment. you know, all that build upp is really good for for when people tune in. I mean, we have some really cool things happen in boxing because of that charismatic type of entertainment value of box. so absolutely we are performing there. Right. I read that in True Detective Night Country, you play an Alaskan native But what I read and you can tell me if it's true or not, is that your Native Rhode Island accent would come out frequently enough that they figured they'd better write that into your character so that it would be exicable if all of a sudden you're like you're like looking at a corpse or something and you're like, oh, that's wicked gross.. Yeah, I love Ea the director. She decided to make my character part of it because I was, you know, working with the dialect coach to keep quote unote accent at bay. I didn't want to sound like Peter Griffin making, you know an investigation. What mean so I just I think you just sold the next hit series for FBO, by the way. hopefully with you in the league. D go on. It was weird how your character always had a cup of Dunkin So in everything you've start in so far, from like True Detective to this new movie, Mercy, you always play people who seem like they could and would kick your ass at any moment Do you ever like w to get cast in like a different kind of part, like a romantic lead in a Hllmark movie? Pably would I would love to. love that you know, I wan to dabble in some comedy. I would love to do some comedy. you know, I love a challenge. I love something that maybe I'm not as strong at yet. I would love to take any, you know, whatever is meant for me, I don't wantan to just stick to that. I mean, I can't help that the badasser you just trying It does does. I'm sorry. about let me put something to. How about a Hallmark movie where you come back to your hometown, leaving the big city and you find the guy who, you know broke your heart twenty years before And it turns out he's a jerk and you beat the crap out of him. I'm sorry. I got I just That's happened. It's fine. That's another show for HBO. We're all lining up projects for you. Yeah. Well documentary. Well, Kaylee Reeeese, it is a pleasure to talk to you and we have asked you here as we do with everyone, to play a game. and in your case, we're calling it the future is here. And by here, we mean Las Vegas because that's where every year the consumer electronic show happens. It's the annual convention where tech companies show off their newest innovations, hopefully to the public that will love them. So we're going to ask you three questions about the CES Consumer electronics show, past and present. If you get too right, you wantna prize one of our listeners. Bill, who is Kayley Reese playing for? Christopher Wolf of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All right. He, Go birds. Here's your first question. At the twenty seventeen CES, Intel made waves when they introduced their newest VR headset, which they handed out to members of the media along with what? A, a nurse with an IV, so they wouldn't have to stop playing and you know, eat. B, protective gear for when they banged into each other while playing the games or C Bar for bags See, you're right, you knew it.. you're right, yeah If the demo program that they tried out included jumping off helicopters, traveling to Vietnam, flying high with a drone, and in some cases, apparently projectile vomiting. All right
