[automated voice]
Call from Jason Reiss, agent.
-[sighs]
-Call from Jason Reiss, agen--
Good morning, sir.
-Where are you?
-I’m at the beach.
-What?
-At the beach.
On a Wednesday?
Yeah, o-on a Wednesday.
I-I’m workin' out.
I’m doin' some meditating.
[laughs] That’s funny.
Hey, I got an audition for you
for this afternoon.
It’s a comedy.
Well, why so last minute?
It’s for Picking Daisy.
They weren’t too sure
about your history
with you and Izzy,
whether or not that would be an issue.
All right? And they’re also
a little reluctant
because you’re not known for comedy.
Hey, I-I pushed back hard
on this one, man.
I assured them
that you’re the professional here.
Any feelings you have towards her
are gonna be set aside.
What? I-I don’t have any feelings for her.
W-We broke up a long time ago.
Oh, yeah, yeah. That’s what I said.
But they’re struggling
to find their guy, aye.
And they ran it by Izzy,
and she gave the okay.
-She did?
-There’s no wiggle room on this one man.
So get your ass home
and prepare. [exhales]
-Yeah, um, all right, thanks.
-[exhaling]
Jason? Jason?
[cell phone chimes]
[seagull squawks]
[splats]
Ugh!
[laughing] It’s your lucky day!
Your lucky day!
[heavy rock music playing]
[cell phone ringing]
Hello?
Hi. How are you?
I’m good. Yeah, uh, what’s up?
I was just calling
because I think I remember you saying
you were gonna go see
your parents today, right?
So I just wanted to pass along my hellos,
because I miss those guys.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, no, I-I totally will. Thanks.
Are you excited to see them?
Well, I mean,
I’m a little bit nervous.
It’s kinda weird, you know,
I haven’t seen them since rehab.
I feel like a little bit of a loser.
Kind of a shitty son
for not doin' this sooner.
Okay, calm down, princess.
That’s ridiculous.
I-I know that they’re excited to see you,
and they would definitely be proud of you.
Yeah, I guess.
I mean, their son
is a TikTok influencer now.
A Tik-- Sorry, a TikTok star.
All right, all right, relax.
No, but seriously,
I mean, take it from me.
You’re never gonna look back
and-- and wish you spent less time
with your parents, so
-Oh, shit!
-[car horn blares]
-What?
-Fuckin' asshole!
Stay in your fuckin' lane!
Are you okay?
Uh, yeah, I'm-- I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
Some guy swerved into my lane.
Yeah, no, you--
You are totally right. I--
I’m really grateful
to still have them in my life.
-So that’s a good point.
-Can you please tell Jay
to say hello to his dad for me?
[laughs] Izzy said to say, um, hi.
Oh, I-I heard.
I heard. Thanks, Izzy.
I’ll, uh, I'll try to remember.
All right, well, you ladies have
a, um, a wonderful rest of your day.
Okay. Bye, Jay. Drive safe, please.
Will do. Thanks for the call.
[call beeps]
[bassy music playing]
[blows]
-Oh!
-Sorry. I’m sorry.
I-- That’s on me.
I should have said something.
No, it’s, uh, it's fine.
My co-workers prank me all the time,
so I’m generally scared.
[chuckles] Oh. Okay.
Uh, my name is Ocean.
Hi, Ocean. Can I do you--
What-- What can I please do you for?
Yeah, uh, this is gonna
sound really weird,
but I’m looking for Raelene.
I was here last night and we hit it off.
I finally built up the courage
to ask her out.
Raelene moved.
-Uh, sorry, I didn’t catch that.
-[whistles] Moved.
-She moved?
-Mm.
Where’d she move to?
To "Ayavader."
But if you want to see the city,
I get off at nine.
-[chuckles]
-[Ocean] Okay, sure, why not?
-[Izzy] Yeah?
-[Ocean] Yeah, I’m down.
-[turns video off]
-Awesome.
Picking Daisy.
Jeff encourages her
to hire him as her trainer.
"Telling a trainer
he’s got a gut takes balls."
What the fuck?
"I get it, Magic Mike." Oh, goddamn it.
Allow me to woo you over GIFs.
Telling a trainer he’s got a gut
takes balls.
Takes balls. Takes balls. Takes balls.
[groans] Nope.
-[Jason over phone] What?
-I-I’m havin' a hard time
with this material, man.
Like, I-I-- do I really wanna get stuck
playin' this moron for five seasons?
Look, Seth, th-these kind of roles
have been golden
for a lot of actors, okay?
Look at Joey from Friends. Look at Kramer.
Look at, uh, Johnny Drama
from Entourage, come on.
Yeah, but that--
that’s like a best-case scenario.
There’s, like, a lot of downside here.
What if it doesn’t pan out perfectly?
[laughs] What downside?
A steady fucking paycheck?
I don’t know, like a fucking catchphrase
or something.
Besides, my career ambitions
don’t really align
with Kramer’s or Drama’s.
Well, whether they align perfectly or not,
it’s up to you, right?
The performer.
You know they’re gonna try
to get me to go shirtless
every other episode.
Hey bud, you wanna break into comedy,
take your shirt off and walk in there
like you own the place!
You’ve gotta start somewhere.
What am I saying? It’s a series regular!
Now, get the fuck in there, pretty boy!
You got hair on your chest?
-What?
-Do you have hair on your chest?
Courage is not the issue here, man.
I mean actual hair.
-Yeah.
-Shave it off.
[upbeat music plays]
[sighs]
[Izzy] I think I would still
go accent over that.
Frenchie was great
until he wouldn’t shut the fuck up,
if you know what I mean.
It got very intense very quickly.
[in French accent] "Oh, baby. How is that?
You like that, baby?"
-Oh.
-"My beautiful--"
[in normal voice] Like,
I’m not your fuckin' baby, man.
No. Did we go on a bit of a tear?
-Yes.
-Yes.
Did we need to go on a little tear?
-Yes.
-Yes. Also yes. But now?
-Out of our systems.
-Yes, exactly.
-You’re working.
-I’m working in a hot second.
I-- I found a couple places
that might be good for me to move in.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-You’re auditioning again already.
-Certainly am.
I’m trying to, you know, regain control.
And I think that’s all you can do, is try.
Ladies, ladies, thank you so much
for coming today.
I have the best thing for you.
The compost.
It is so fresh today, huh? Here you go.
Oh, we-- we thought
that we would maybe do
some of the, like, mulching.
-Mulch?
-We were--
'Cause we were here
last weekend, remember?
And we did the--
the compost stickers last week.
-Yes. The mulch.
-So, we'll-- We-- Yeah.
-You want to do the mulch?
-Yeah. Get into the much.
The-- The mulch is done for the day.
But the compost
is your best friend today.
Huh? I will take these.
Ladies, have fun most of all.
Thank you so much.
-Oh!
-[groans]
Oh, dude, I’m gonna have to dip.
-Excuse me?
-Yeah, I gotta dip.
I’m gonna go help Seth
with his Picking Daisy tape.
-Now?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
'Cause his tape’s today, so he’s gotta--
He’s gotta-- He’s gotta get this sorted.
Hey, how about we just complete
this task together
as originally planned,
and then I drop you at Seth’s.
Lyft is three minutes away.
Love you.
-What? What?
-Bye. Have fun. Thank you.
I don’t have keys,
so I’ll give you a call.
Oh, there you go.
Please do not overfill, huh?
-Okay.
-Fun. Lots of fun.
-Thanks, mate!
-[Izzy] Love you!
[upbeat music plays]
Hey, Ricky.
Richard?
Dick? Dick Davis.
Dad!
Jer! Hey!
-Hey.
-How are you, buddy?
-It only took five, six times?
-That’s all right. That’s all right.
-How’s work goin'?
-Oh, God.
You know, it’s backlogged.
The materials are six months behind,
and when they-- when they finally show up,
the dimensions are off.
-Ah. Ah.
-It’s just ridiculous, but yeah.
Hey-- Hey, you know,
the offer’s always on the table.
If things are ever slow,
or you just wanna come up here
and hang with your old man,
get you on the crew, put you to work.
Get those hands dirty, huh?
-Some fresh air?
-Yeah.
Busy boys are happy boys, right?
I’m a little busy right now,
just, like, movin' into my place
and stuff.
-Yeah.
-But maybe in the next-- next few months.
But, um, I’ll definitely--
definitely let you know.
We could do that.
-Okay, great.
-Yeah.
-Um, how’s the, um--
-[sighs]
-How’s the-- comin' along?
Well, I’m not doing it anymore,
which is-- Yeah.
Good. Good.
I mean, it’s--
It’s still there a little bit.
It’s kind of like every time
I’m watchin' a movie or something,
and the characters are partying
or drinking or, you know,
I just think, "God, I could just
do that so easily."
Like, I just get fucked up one last time,
and no one would ever know, you know?
-Yeah.
-I mean, it’s just a daydream.
Yeah. Gotta know your limits.
Yeah.
Oh, shit, I didn’t even--
Are you okay with me?
-Oh, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Yeah.
-All right.
I was gonna ask, um,
do you ever have trouble with anger issues
or anything like that?
-Why? What’s goin' on?
-Since I got sober,
I-I don’t know where it’s comin' from,
but the smallest things
will just break me.
-Really?
-Like, I don’t know
why it’s happening,
so I just was wondering if, I don’t know--
You definitely didn’t get it from me.
But, God, that takes me back.
I remember when you were a kid
playing basketball at the Y.
[laughs]
Jesus, every time you threw up a brick,
you would lose your shit.
Oh, my God, you had smoke
comin' out of your ears.
You know, the rest of the team
would fall back on defense.
You’d strut down to half court
and be like--
Hmm! Hmm!
I remember thinkin',
"That boy’s gonna be an actor."
He’s a drama queen.
I turned to your mom and said,
"There you go, honey.
You got the daughter you always wanted."
[both laugh]
What about that time
you sharted in Cub Scouts?
[laughs]
[Seth] I’m gonna leave you my card.
I don’t expect you to call me,
but I do expect a GIF.
Oh, so we’re on GIF terms already.
If you won’t say yes to me now,
allow me to woo you over GIFs.
The sweetest.
[sighs] So?
Yeah. It’s, um
[splutters]
-Um
-So
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, it’s good.
-Okay, nice, yeah.
I’m trying to, um, keep it kinda subtle
and make sure that there’s layers
to the character, you know?
Are you--
Are you kinda gettin' any of that?
Yeah. Or, with this one,
you can not intellectualize it too much.
It’s not gonna be, like,
falling into any sort of a trap?
-No.
-Because I feel like
a lot of, you know, sitcom acting,
it’s just like the guy’s
like a one-note dummy.
He’s just this moron,
and it’s one-dimensional.
-I don’t wanna do that. Right?
-Sure.
So I was exactly the same as you
before starting this,
and I also thought that sitcom acting
was not real acting.
But, but, if you watch
the legends of sitcom acting,
they are acting their tits off.
They buy in at this emotional level,
and they really push it to an extreme.
It’s that disconnect
between what the audience
thinks they’re getting,
and then what they do get
which creates that comedy.
So it’s this-- it's this art form
and this, like,
push and pull,
if that makes sense?
No, it does. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that actually makes a lot of sense.
-Yeah?
-Uh-huh.
Yeah, I didn’t mean to,
sorry, put it down.
I wasn’t trying to-- It is acting.
No, I-I don’t think
you were putting it down at all.
-Okay.
-I just think it’s a little-known fact,
and I think I’m, like, seeing
major light bulbs go off right now.
In fact, we’re getting up.
We’re getting up.
We’re doing this standing.
Yeah, this is what we’re doing.
Mm-hmm. Um
-Yes. Good.
-Yeah.
Energy’s already flowing much better.
Okay.
-Good.
-That feels nice. Yeah.
And you don’t think that, you know,
because I’m not super jacked
or, like, ripped guy,
like, it’s okay?
You look great. Trust me.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Thanks. You look great too.
[percussive jazz playing]
[Andrea] Yeah, I think they had
quite a few people
drop out this weekend.
You know, Izzy just bailed,
so thank you for coming
and helping out the farm.
They need all the help they can get.
[laughs] Yeah, I can see that.
[Andrea] Stick them on the side there,
is what I’ve been doing.
All right.
Um, so how’s work going?
Uh, you know, it’s interesting.
-Mm.
-Yeah.
Tricia, your fill-in--
-My replacement.
-Uh, let’s say fill-in for now.
Okay.
She’s one of these method actors
that stays in character all day.
-Yikes.
-Our first lunch together,
she told me this horrific story
about how her father was an alcoholic
and fell asleep on the train tracks,
got run over by a locomotive,
really tragic.
Come to find out it was
her character’s backstory.
Her parents are actually well and fine.
Married happily,
living in Peoria, Illinois, so
-Wow.
-Yeah, she’s somethin' else.
She’ll warm up.
I’m sure you’ll love her eventually.
Yeah, I don’t--
I don’t think anybody’s
gonna compare to you.
That’s very nice.
How are you doin'?
-I’m doing good.
-You workin' on anything?
Working on up top.
-Oh, right.
-Yeah.
Well, actually, I got a--
I got an offer
to do one of those
fan conventions for Eternal,
but I turned it down. I don’t--
Oh, really? Those are a lot of fun.
-You think?
-Yeah.
I used to go with my old cast-mates
of my old show.
You know, they fly you out for free,
give you a bunch of money
-True. Yeah.
-put you up in a nice hotel.
Hang out with the fans. It’s--
Plus, it’s fun to get reunited
with your old cast, you know?
Yeah, I didn’t really
think of it like that.
-[Ebuka] Michael?
-Could be good.
Michael Niccoli? Oh, my goodness.
Oh, you gotta be k--
No way.
-Bring it in.
-[Michael] Hey!
-[both laugh]
-Oh, my God!
Come on!
Last time I saw you was in Accra.
-K-Kumasi’s Kids. Yes.
-Oh, my God!
Hey, I spent some time
over in Ghana for three months,
uh, helping rebuild schools and stuff.
-Mostly him.
-No!
-Oh?
-[Michael] God, man!
I can’t believe it!
Who is your friend? Who is this?
Oh, this is-- this is Andrea.
-Hi, I’m Andrea.
-Yes. Yes.
-We met before.
-Yeah, you are doing great work.
-Oh, thank you.
-[Ebuka] Oh, my goodness! Look at you!
[both laugh]
[Andrea] Okay, I’m just gonna--
[Ebuka laughing] Kumasi’s Kids.
[Jeremy] To answer your last question,
um, I don’t have
any chronic medical conditions.
Um, I mean, I have a bit of eczema.
Lotion usually clears that up.
Um, yeah, anyways, thank you for booking.
And, uh, yeah, appreciate it.
Remember, love is eternal.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Hi, Mom.
-Hey!
-Hey.
[speaking Spanish]
[in English] Oh, it’s so good to see you.
Let me see that face.
Now I recognize you.
What took you so long to come see me?
I don’t have an excuse.
I’m terrible. I’m sorry.
Well, you’re here now.
And look at you.
-You look great.
-Do I?
And it looks like
you’re eating the salads.
The-- The recipe that I sent you.
-Yeah, that’s really helpful.
-With the fajitas.
-My energy levels. Yeah--
-[woman] Excuse me.
We’re done, if you guys wanna play.
-Oh, yes, thank you.
-Have fun.
Mijo.
You’re playing with me. Come on!
-Right now?
-Yes, like old times.
I’m wearing my jean shorts, Mom.
That’s okay.
Yeah, but you know that I-- I chafe.
[speaking Spanish]
tighty whities that I sent you?
They’re too constricting, Mom.
I like boxers. You know that.
Tell me you’re wearing something.
I really want grandkids.
Don’t leave me without grandkids.
Okay, Mom, I won’t.
-I’m good. I’m supported.
-Okay, well, then now,
before they get the court. Come on.
All right, okay. All right.
-Your paddles are over here.
-All right.
What about--
But what about--
-Don’t they want to play?
-[Rosa] Mijo.
Don’t you know
You’re a star? ♪
Don’t you know
You’re a star? ♪
Don’t you know
You’re a star? ♪
Don’t you know
You’re a star? ♪
-Ah!
-Hey! [shouts in Spanish]
What is wrong with you?
-Are you kidding me?
-[Jeremy] Mom.
He is a TV star.
I have to protect him.
And he’s carrying
my future TV stars in there.
Do you get it?
Right where you aimed.
Right there!
-M-Mom.
-What is your problem? [shouts in Spanish]
-What?
-[Rosa] Jeremy Davis!
-Off the court!
-I’m sorry. Okay.
I’m gonna leave you my card.
I don’t expect a call,
but I do expect a GIF.
Oh, so we’re on GIF terms already.
If you won’t say yes to me now
allow me to woo you
over a GIF.
The sweetest.
[laughs]
-Yes! So much good stuff.
-Cool.
The beginning, all that new stuff
you’re finding
every time as well?
-Yeah.
-Let you run.
-Oh, I do feel like
-So good.
I’m a little more in my body.
-Hundred percent.
-Out of the head.
It’s really good. I’m super impressed.
Thank you. I mean, this is-- It’s all you.
-No, it’s really not.
-It is you.
Honestly, this is all you.
This doesn’t happen
without you here.
Seriously. And I-I feel like
we should maybe address
a little bit of the elephant in the room.
-Like
-What?
are you okay with this?
Am I here?
-Yes, you are.
-Mm-hmm.
-But
-But what?
Obviously you’re just
getting out of your engagement,
and we have our history.
So I just wanna make sure
that you’re comfortable
with all this.
I mean, I’m stepping into your world here.
That’s super gracious of you.
And I appreciate the thought.
But I think I’m actually pretty good.
I cried yesterday
because I saw an old man
eating a sandwich by himself.
But other than that,
I think I’m actually feeling
a lot of relief,
and I think that it was
the right thing to do,
and I feel-- feel good.
As far as you and I go,
we’d just be working together.
I mean, it’s not like
we’re gonna fuck, right?
[both laugh]
It’s that face!
-What?
-It’s that face.
That’s what’s gonna book you this job.
-That-- What was I doing?
-That face.
It’s like, you want to smile,
but you’re also terrified.
Huh?
You’re amazing.
And you’re gonna do amazing today.
But this? This guy probably
needs to be swapped out.
Oh, shit. Yeah, that’s, um
I should change this before I go in there.
-Darker shirt, maybe.
-Okay, good call. All right.
But thank you, honestly, so much.
Like, you’re really good at this.
Have you-- Have you ever thought
about directing an episode?
No. I haven’t.
-[Ebuka] Are you ready?
-[Michael] Okay.
You can do it. You’ve got it.
You’ve got it.
[yells]
[all yell]
[Ebuka laughs]
Yeah!
[Ebuka] Perfect work!
-Did you see that?
-I did.
That was amazing.
-I’m a natural.
-You’re a natural.
[laughs]
What, uh-- What have you been doing?
Oh, I just got off the phone with my reps.
You got me kind of jazzed about the idea
of that convention, so I just--
They’re on it.
-They’re all over it. Yeah.
-Oh. Already?
-Yeah.
-With the Eternal cast?
-Yeah. Yeah.
-Cool.
You kinda sold it to me,
so I just thought I’d jump on it.
I did, didn’t I?
-Yeah.
-Well, just, you know,
um, make sure that’s really
what you wanna do.
You know, make sure that’s, uh--
You know, check all your boxes.
Oh, for sure, for sure.
I mean, it’s not-- it's not in stone yet.
-Right.
-But I think you made it sound fun.
-Yeah. I did.
-Yeah.
Okay
Would-- Would you have dinner with me?
The two of us? My place?
I’ll cook a dinner for us.
What is this hesitation?
Why have you not said yes?
Um
Do you know
who you are standing next to?
Oh, come on.
I do. Yeah.
[Ebuka] This man right here is a legend.
If I were naked right now, no clothing,
he would give me everything off his back,
and his shoes too.
Listen to me. Listen.
There is a saying in Nigeria.
When a ripe fruit sees an honest man,
it drops.
Huh?
Look, let me, um
[laughs]
I like that saying.
Let me walk it back a little bit.
I don’t mean for it
to sound like a date.
I’m just tired of cooking for myself.
It’d be nice to cook
for someone else too.
And I miss you.
I miss you too.
So let’s do it.
I would love to. Thank you.
Wonderful chef.
[laughs]
Let’s do it.
[man] What are you thinkin'?
Eat shit!
[grunting and yelling]
[electronic music playing]
Well, this is nice, Mom.
Isn’t it? I love it.
I am so happy here.
Peaceful.
And busy.
My investment properties are doing great.
I’m also managing Andrea’s condo
in Palm Springs, as you know.
Yeah.
And that has appreciated like crazy.
-Has it?
-Oh, the market is nuts.
-It is, huh? Yeah.
-Yeah!
That’s awesome. That’s awesome.
She says hi, by the way.
She misses you guys.
Do you see her? I mean
Yeah. We talk.
I mean, things are much better now
than they-- they were.
But, um, we’re friends.
Friends?
Yeah. Friends.
-Aye, Jeremy.
-Right now, I’m just trying
to stay the course, you know?
Focus on the sobriety,
and hopefully that leads to good things.
Mijo, I’m glad you stopped drinking.
You were never a good drunk.
-Nope.
-No.
And neither was your father,
and you got that from him.
Okay. Fair enough.
Do you remember how competitive
you used to be,
and you had fire,
and you had all this drive?
I just want to see that fire.
The passion, the fire
that you got from your mamita.
Yeah.
Mijo, do you think
you’ll get that back?
You know, I don’t really think
it ever left, to be honest.
I think it’s still there.
I just, uh, need to find
a healthy way to channel it.
I’m really proud of you, Jeremy.
Thank you, Mom.
I appreciate that.
Now, let’s get the ladder
because I have decorations
and I have tool boxes
that I cannot lift,
and there’s a photo album
that I want you to see.
-Oh, okay, whoa. All right.
-Come on.
Real reason for my visit, revealed.
[Seth] Telling a trainer
he’s got a gut takes balls.
[Amber] All right, I get it, Magic Mike.
If you won’t say yes to me now,
allow me to woo you over GIFs.
The sweetest.
[Amber laughs]
That was so good.
-Yeah?
-That was great.
Sorry, I d-don’t have any adjustments.
Um, but there is one thing.
Can I get a photo of you shirtless?
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Wait a second here.
And
Whoo!
Okay. In character.
-Did you shave?
-Yeah. We can--
If you want to let them know,
like a note, I just--
Yeah, that won’t be there
in a week.
Okay, great. One, two, flex.
-Um
-You know what?
Should I do a couple
of push-ups real quick?
-I was gonna say
-Yeah, get a little pump.
-Be right back.
-[laughs]
[indistinct chattering]
Is the creator gonna see it?
The creator’s gonna see it. And lift.
Yes! Yes!
[sighs]
Sorry, I
I stood up too fast.
Okay, take-- take your time.
Take a deep breath.
-[Seth] I’m okay.
-[casting director] Okay.
-Okay. We’re good. Yeah.
-Good? Okay.
Now, one, two, flex.
-Great. I think we got it.
-Cool.
[casting director] Thank you so much
for making our jobs easier.
-Yeah. Thank you.
-Oh, there you go.
See you guys again,
maybe with a little less clothing.
-[casting director] Oh!
-Should you be so lucky.
-Is that a promise?
-[all laugh]
[Seth] But thank you.
-Appreciate it.
-[casting director] Thank you.
[Seth] Thank you.
[upbeat jazz playing]
[cell phone chimes]
[laughs]
Hey, Seth.
Oh. Hey.
Hi.
I never do this,
but, uh, that was really fun,
and I think you’re great.
-Um
-Thank you.
And, uh, would you wanna hang out?
Sure. Yes. I mean, I would love to.
Do you want to hang out right now?
Well, I can’t now.
I have to go back in the session.
-Right.
-My sister is the, uh, casting director.
-Oh, okay.
-I’m just filling in,
so it’s not a conflict of interest
or anything like that,
and I-I-I know of your work,
but I’m not like a super fan.
This feels really creepy, doesn’t it?
-I’m so sorry.
-No, you’re fine.
Like, honestly, that was
one of my best reads ever.
Half of that was you, so
-Great.
-Thank you.
-Yeah. Should I put my info?
-Right. Yeah, yeah.
Um, here.
There you go.
Great.
So, was it the, uh, shirtless dancin'?
No, I just, um
I thought we had
a really great connection,
and I liked your personality.
Here you go.
Thank you, Amber.
Yes.
Amber is the color of your energy.
-Incubus.
-No, it’s actually 311.
-Right.
-Yeah.
That’s what I meant.
-I’m sure they tour a lot together.
-Right.
Yeah.
Um, I guess I’ll hear from you soon.
-Thank you.
-Yeah.
-Or, bye. Sorry.
-Bye.
-I’ll text you.
-Talk to you soon.
[uplifting music playing]
[Jeremy] Hey, um, it’s me.
Uh, Jeremy, it’s Jeremy.
Yeah, I just, um
I wanted to give you a call
because, uh, you were right again.
[laughs] So
-Hang on a second.
-thank you
for the words of encouragement.
I was like,
"What doctor walks like that?"
Yeah, I was thinkin'
maybe we could get together sometime
and just-- just catch up.
I'm-- I’m pretty wide open
these days, so
[Michael] This is actually--
No, this is actually
from the hills of Santa Clarita.
But-- But I’m just-- Look, I, uh
This is just-- This is all--
Hey, um, I know I’ve been
kind of all over the place.
It’s been a pretty shitty time.
But it really means the world
that you’ve been there for me.
I don’t take it for granted,
and, yeah.
Thank you.
[glasses clink]
[laughs]
Yeah, it would-- it would just be
really great to see you.
So, um, give me a shout. Give me a call.
Okay? I-I hope you have
a really great night.
Um, all right, bye, Andrea.
[uplifting music playing]
[spiritual flute music playing]
[automated voice]
Call from Jason Reiss, agent.
Call from Jason Reiss, agent.
Call from Jason Reiss, agent.
[spiritual flute music resumes]
[automated voice]
Call from Jason Reiss, agent.
-[sighs]
-Call from Jason Reiss, agen--
Good morning, sir.
-Where are you?
-I’m at the beach.
-What?
-At the beach.
On a Wednesday?
Yeah, o-on a Wednesday.
I-I’m workin' out.
I’m doin' some meditating.
[laughs] That’s funny.
Hey, I got an audition for you
for this afternoon.
It’s a comedy.
Well, why so last minute?
It’s for Picking Daisy.
They weren’t too sure
about your history
with you and Izzy,
whether or not that would be an issue.
All right? And they’re also
a little reluctant
because you’re not known for comedy.
Hey, I-I pushed back hard
on this one, man.
I assured them
that you’re the professional here.
Any feelings you have towards her
are gonna be set aside.
What? I-I don’t have any feelings for her.
W-We broke up a long time ago.
Oh, yeah, yeah. That’s what I said.
But they’re struggling
to find their guy, aye.
And they ran it by Izzy,
and she gave the okay.
-She did?
-There’s no wiggle room on this one man.
So get your ass home
and prepare. [exhales]
-Yeah, um, all right, thanks.
-[exhaling]
Jason? Jason?
[cell phone chimes]
[seagull squawks]
[splats]
Ugh!
[laughing] It’s your lucky day!
Your lucky day!
[heavy rock music playing]
[cell phone ringing]
Hello?
Hi. How are you?
I’m good. Yeah, uh, what’s up?
I was just calling
because I think I remember you saying
you were gonna go see
your parents today, right?
So I just wanted to pass along my hellos,
because I miss those guys.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, no, I-I totally will. Thanks.
Are you excited to see them?
Well, I mean,
I’m a little bit nervous.
It’s kinda weird, you know,
I haven’t seen them since rehab.
I feel like a little bit of a loser.
Kind of a shitty son
for not doin' this sooner.
Okay, calm down, princess.
That’s ridiculous.
I-I know that they’re excited to see you,
and they would definitely be proud of you.
Yeah, I guess.
I mean, their son
is a TikTok influencer now.
A Tik-- Sorry, a TikTok star.
All right, all right, relax.
No, but seriously,
I mean, take it from me.
You’re never gonna look back
and-- and wish you spent less time
with your parents, so
-Oh, shit!
-[car horn blares]
-What?
-Fuckin' asshole!
Stay in your fuckin' lane!
Are you okay?
Uh, yeah, I'm-- I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
Some guy swerved into my lane.
Yeah, no, you--
You are totally right. I--
I’m really grateful
to still have them in my life.
-So that’s a good point.
-Can you please tell Jay
to say hello to his dad for me?
[laughs] Izzy said to say, um, hi.
Oh, I-I heard.
I heard. Thanks, Izzy.
I’ll, uh, I'll try to remember.
All right, well, you ladies have
a, um, a wonderful rest of your day.
Okay. Bye, Jay. Drive safe, please.
Will do. Thanks for the call.
[call beeps]
[bassy music playing]
[blows]
-Oh!
-Sorry. I’m sorry.
I-- That’s on me.
I should have said something.
No, it’s, uh, it's fine.
My co-workers prank me all the time,
so I’m generally scared.
[chuckles] Oh. Okay.
Uh, my name is Ocean.
Hi, Ocean. Can I do you--
What-- What can I please do you for?
Yeah, uh, this is gonna
sound really weird,
but I’m looking for Raelene.
I was here last night and we hit it off.
I finally built up the courage
to ask her out.
Raelene moved.
-Uh, sorry, I didn’t catch that.
-[whistles] Moved.
-She moved?
-Mm.
Where’d she move to?
To "Ayavader."
But if you want to see the city,
I get off at nine.
-[chuckles]
-[Ocean] Okay, sure, why not?
-[Izzy] Yeah?
-[Ocean] Yeah, I’m down.
-[turns video off]
-Awesome.
Picking Daisy.
Jeff encourages her
to hire him as her trainer.
"Telling a trainer
he’s got a gut takes balls."
What the fuck?
"I get it, Magic Mike." Oh, goddamn it.
Allow me to woo you over GIFs.
Telling a trainer he’s got a gut
takes balls.
Takes balls. Takes balls. Takes balls.
[groans] Nope.
-[Jason over phone] What?
-I-I’m havin' a hard time
with this material, man.
Like, I-I-- do I really wanna get stuck
playin' this moron for five seasons?
Look, Seth, th-these kind of roles
have been golden
for a lot of actors, okay?
Look at Joey from Friends. Look at Kramer.
Look at, uh, Johnny Drama
from Entourage, come on.
Yeah, but that--
that’s like a best-case scenario.
There’s, like, a lot of downside here.
What if it doesn’t pan out perfectly?
[laughs] What downside?
A steady fucking paycheck?
I don’t know, like a fucking catchphrase
or something.
Besides, my career ambitions
don’t really align
with Kramer’s or Drama’s.
Well, whether they align perfectly or not,
it’s up to you, right?
The performer.
You know they’re gonna try
to get me to go shirtless
every other episode.
Hey bud, you wanna break into comedy,
take your shirt off and walk in there
like you own the place!
You’ve gotta start somewhere.
What am I saying? It’s a series regular!
Now, get the fuck in there, pretty boy!
You got hair on your chest?
-What?
-Do you have hair on your chest?
Courage is not the issue here, man.
I mean actual hair.
-Yeah.
-Shave it off.
[upbeat music plays]
[sighs]
[Izzy] I think I would still
go accent over that.
Frenchie was great
until he wouldn’t shut the fuck up,
if you know what I mean.
It got very intense very quickly.
[in French accent] "Oh, baby. How is that?
You like that, baby?"
-Oh.
-"My beautiful--"
[in normal voice] Like,
I’m not your fuckin' baby, man.
No. Did we go on a bit of a tear?
-Yes.
-Yes.
Did we need to go on a little tear?
-Yes.
-Yes. Also yes. But now?
-Out of our systems.
-Yes, exactly.
-You’re working.
-I’m working in a hot second.
I-- I found a couple places
that might be good for me to move in.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-You’re auditioning again already.
-Certainly am.
I’m trying to, you know, regain control.
And I think that’s all you can do, is try.
Ladies, ladies, thank you so much
for coming today.
I have the best thing for you.
The compost.
It is so fresh today, huh? Here you go.
Oh, we-- we thought
that we would maybe do
some of the, like, mulching.
-Mulch?
-We were--
'Cause we were here
last weekend, remember?
And we did the--
the compost stickers last week.
-Yes. The mulch.
-So, we'll-- We-- Yeah.
-You want to do the mulch?
-Yeah. Get into the much.
The-- The mulch is done for the day.
But the compost
is your best friend today.
Huh? I will take these.
Ladies, have fun most of all.
Thank you so much.
-Oh!
-[groans]
Oh, dude, I’m gonna have to dip.
-Excuse me?
-Yeah, I gotta dip.
I’m gonna go help Seth
with his Picking Daisy tape.
-Now?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
'Cause his tape’s today, so he’s gotta--
He’s gotta-- He’s gotta get this sorted.
Hey, how about we just complete
this task together
as originally planned,
and then I drop you at Seth’s.
Lyft is three minutes away.
Love you.
-What? What?
-Bye. Have fun. Thank you.
I don’t have keys,
so I’ll give you a call.
Oh, there you go.
Please do not overfill, huh?
-Okay.
-Fun. Lots of fun.
-Thanks, mate!
-[Izzy] Love you!
[upbeat music plays]
Hey, Ricky.
Richard?
Dick? Dick Davis.
Dad!
Jer! Hey!
-Hey.
-How are you, buddy?
-It only took five, six times?
-That’s all right. That’s all right.
-How’s work goin'?
-Oh, God.
You know, it’s backlogged.
The materials are six months behind,
and when they-- when they finally show up,
the dimensions are off.
-Ah. Ah.
-It’s just ridiculous, but yeah.
Hey-- Hey, you know,
the offer’s always on the table.
If things are ever slow,
or you just wanna come up here
and hang with your old man,
get you on the crew, put you to work.
Get those hands dirty, huh?
-Some fresh air?
-Yeah.
Busy boys are happy boys, right?
I’m a little busy right now,
just, like, movin' into my place
and stuff.
-Yeah.
-But maybe in the next-- next few months.
But, um, I’ll definitely--
definitely let you know.
We could do that.
-Okay, great.
-Yeah.
-Um, how’s the, um--
-[sighs]
-How’s the-- comin' along?
Well, I’m not doing it anymore,
which is-- Yeah.
Good. Good.
I mean, it’s--
It’s still there a little bit.
It’s kind of like every time
I’m watchin' a movie or something,
and the characters are partying
or drinking or, you know,
I just think, "God, I could just
do that so easily."
Like, I just get fucked up one last time,
and no one would ever know, you know?
-Yeah.
-I mean, it’s just a daydream.
Yeah. Gotta know your limits.
Yeah.
Oh, shit, I didn’t even--
Are you okay with me?
-Oh, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Yeah.
-All right.
I was gonna ask, um,
do you ever have trouble with anger issues
or anything like that?
-Why? What’s goin' on?
-Since I got sober,
I-I don’t know where it’s comin' from,
but the smallest things
will just break me.
-Really?
-Like, I don’t know
why it’s happening,
so I just was wondering if, I don’t know--
You definitely didn’t get it from me.
But, God, that takes me back.
I remember when you were a kid
playing basketball at the Y.
[laughs]
Jesus, every time you threw up a brick,
you would lose your shit.
Oh, my God, you had smoke
comin' out of your ears.
You know, the rest of the team
would fall back on defense.
You’d strut down to half court
and be like--
Hmm! Hmm!
I remember thinkin',
"That boy’s gonna be an actor."
He’s a drama queen.
I turned to your mom and said,
"There you go, honey.
You got the daughter you always wanted."
[both laugh]
What about that time
you sharted in Cub Scouts?
[laughs]
[Seth] I’m gonna leave you my card.
I don’t expect you to call me,
but I do expect a GIF.
Oh, so we’re on GIF terms already.
If you won’t say yes to me now,
allow me to woo you over GIFs.
The sweetest.
[sighs] So?
Yeah. It’s, um
[splutters]
-Um
-So
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, it’s good.
-Okay, nice, yeah.
I’m trying to, um, keep it kinda subtle
and make sure that there’s layers
to the character, you know?
Are you--
Are you kinda gettin' any of that?
Yeah. Or, with this one,
you can not intellectualize it too much.
It’s not gonna be, like,
falling into any sort of a trap?
-No.
-Because I feel like
a lot of, you know, sitcom acting,
it’s just like the guy’s
like a one-note dummy.
He’s just this moron,
and it’s one-dimensional.
-I don’t wanna do that. Right?
-Sure.
So I was exactly the same as you
before starting this,
and I also thought that sitcom acting
was not real acting.
But, but, if you watch
the legends of sitcom acting,
they are acting their tits off.
They buy in at this emotional level,
and they really push it to an extreme.
It’s that disconnect
between what the audience
thinks they’re getting,
and then what they do get
which creates that comedy.
So it’s this-- it's this art form
and this, like,
push and pull,
if that makes sense?
No, it does. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that actually makes a lot of sense.
-Yeah?
-Uh-huh.
Yeah, I didn’t mean to,
sorry, put it down.
I wasn’t trying to-- It is acting.
No, I-I don’t think
you were putting it down at all.
-Okay.
-I just think it’s a little-known fact,
and I think I’m, like, seeing
major light bulbs go off right now.
In fact, we’re getting up.
We’re getting up.
We’re doing this standing.
Yeah, this is what we’re doing.
Mm-hmm. Um
-Yes. Good.
-Yeah.
Energy’s already flowing much better.
Okay.
-Good.
-That feels nice. Yeah.
And you don’t think that, you know,
because I’m not super jacked
or, like, ripped guy,
like, it’s okay?
You look great. Trust me.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Thanks. You look great too.
[percussive jazz playing]
[Andrea] Yeah, I think they had
quite a few people
drop out this weekend.
You know, Izzy just bailed,
so thank you for coming
and helping out the farm.
They need all the help they can get.
[laughs] Yeah, I can see that.
[Andrea] Stick them on the side there,
is what I’ve been doing.
All right.
Um, so how’s work going?
Uh, you know, it’s interesting.
-Mm.
-Yeah.
Tricia, your fill-in--
-My replacement.
-Uh, let’s say fill-in for now.
Okay.
She’s one of these method actors
that stays in character all day.
-Yikes.
-Our first lunch together,
she told me this horrific story
about how her father was an alcoholic
and fell asleep on the train tracks,
got run over by a locomotive,
really tragic.
Come to find out it was
her character’s backstory.
Her parents are actually well and fine.
Married happily,
living in Peoria, Illinois, so
-Wow.
-Yeah, she’s somethin' else.
She’ll warm up.
I’m sure you’ll love her eventually.
Yeah, I don’t--
I don’t think anybody’s
gonna compare to you.
That’s very nice.
How are you doin'?
-I’m doing good.
-You workin' on anything?
Working on up top.
-Oh, right.
-Yeah.
Well, actually, I got a--
I got an offer
to do one of those
fan conventions for Eternal,
but I turned it down. I don’t--
Oh, really? Those are a lot of fun.
-You think?
-Yeah.
I used to go with my old cast-mates
of my old show.
You know, they fly you out for free,
give you a bunch of money
-True. Yeah.
-put you up in a nice hotel.
Hang out with the fans. It’s--
Plus, it’s fun to get reunited
with your old cast, you know?
Yeah, I didn’t really
think of it like that.
-[Ebuka] Michael?
-Could be good.
Michael Niccoli? Oh, my goodness.
Oh, you gotta be k--
No way.
-Bring it in.
-[Michael] Hey!
-[both laugh]
-Oh, my God!
Come on!
Last time I saw you was in Accra.
-K-Kumasi’s Kids. Yes.
-Oh, my God!
Hey, I spent some time
over in Ghana for three months,
uh, helping rebuild schools and stuff.
-Mostly him.
-No!
-Oh?
-[Michael] God, man!
I can’t believe it!
Who is your friend? Who is this?
Oh, this is-- this is Andrea.
-Hi, I’m Andrea.
-Yes. Yes.
-We met before.
-Yeah, you are doing great work.
-Oh, thank you.
-[Ebuka] Oh, my goodness! Look at you!
[both laugh]
[Andrea] Okay, I’m just gonna--
[Ebuka laughing] Kumasi’s Kids.
[Jeremy] To answer your last question,
um, I don’t have
any chronic medical conditions.
Um, I mean, I have a bit of eczema.
Lotion usually clears that up.
Um, yeah, anyways, thank you for booking.
And, uh, yeah, appreciate it.
Remember, love is eternal.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Hi, Mom.
-Hey!
-Hey.
[speaking Spanish]
[in English] Oh, it’s so good to see you.
Let me see that face.
Now I recognize you.
What took you so long to come see me?
I don’t have an excuse.
I’m terrible. I’m sorry.
Well, you’re here now.
And look at you.
-You look great.
-Do I?
And it looks like
you’re eating the salads.
The-- The recipe that I sent you.
-Yeah, that’s really helpful.
-With the fajitas.
-My energy levels. Yeah--
-[woman] Excuse me.
We’re done, if you guys wanna play.
-Oh, yes, thank you.
-Have fun.
Mijo.
You’re playing with me. Come on!
-Right now?
-Yes, like old times.
I’m wearing my jean shorts, Mom.
That’s okay.
Yeah, but you know that I-- I chafe.
[speaking Spanish]
tighty whities that I sent you?
They’re too constricting, Mom.
I like boxers. You know that.
Tell me you’re wearing something.
I really want grandkids.
Don’t leave me without grandkids.
Okay, Mom, I won’t.
-I’m good. I’m supported.
-Okay, well, then now,
before they get the court. Come on.
All right, okay. All right.
-Your paddles are over here.
-All right.
What about--
But what about--
-Don’t they want to play?
-[Rosa] Mijo.
Don’t you know
You’re a star? ♪
Don’t you know
You’re a star? ♪
Don’t you know
You’re a star? ♪
Don’t you know
You’re a star? ♪
-Ah!
-Hey! [shouts in Spanish]
What is wrong with you?
-Are you kidding me?
-[Jeremy] Mom.
He is a TV star.
I have to protect him.
And he’s carrying
my future TV stars in there.
Do you get it?
Right where you aimed.
Right there!
-M-Mom.
-What is your problem? [shouts in Spanish]
-What?
-[Rosa] Jeremy Davis!
-Off the court!
-I’m sorry. Okay.
I’m gonna leave you my card.
I don’t expect a call,
but I do expect a GIF.
Oh, so we’re on GIF terms already.
If you won’t say yes to me now
allow me to woo you
over a GIF.
The sweetest.
[laughs]
-Yes! So much good stuff.
-Cool.
The beginning, all that new stuff
you’re finding
every time as well?
-Yeah.
-Let you run.
-Oh, I do feel like
-So good.
I’m a little more in my body.
-Hundred percent.
-Out of the head.
It’s really good. I’m super impressed.
Thank you. I mean, this is-- It’s all you.
-No, it’s really not.
-It is you.
Honestly, this is all you.
This doesn’t happen
without you here.
Seriously. And I-I feel like
we should maybe address
a little bit of the elephant in the room.
-Like
-What?
are you okay with this?
Am I here?
-Yes, you are.
-Mm-hmm.
-But
-But what?
Obviously you’re just
getting out of your engagement,
and we have our history.
So I just wanna make sure
that you’re comfortable
with all this.
I mean, I’m stepping into your world here.
That’s super gracious of you.
And I appreciate the thought.
But I think I’m actually pretty good.
I cried yesterday
because I saw an old man
eating a sandwich by himself.
But other than that,
I think I’m actually feeling
a lot of relief,
and I think that it was
the right thing to do,
and I feel-- feel good.
As far as you and I go,
we’d just be working together.
I mean, it’s not like
we’re gonna fuck, right?
[both laugh]
It’s that face!
-What?
-It’s that face.
That’s what’s gonna book you this job.
-That-- What was I doing?
-That face.
It’s like, you want to smile,
but you’re also terrified.
Huh?
You’re amazing.
And you’re gonna do amazing today.
But this? This guy probably
needs to be swapped out.
Oh, shit. Yeah, that’s, um
I should change this before I go in there.
-Darker shirt, maybe.
-Okay, good call. All right.
But thank you, honestly, so much.
Like, you’re really good at this.
Have you-- Have you ever thought
about directing an episode?
No. I haven’t.
-[Ebuka] Are you ready?
-[Michael] Okay.
You can do it. You’ve got it.
You’ve got it.
[yells]
[all yell]
[Ebuka laughs]
Yeah!
[Ebuka] Perfect work!
-Did you see that?
-I did.
That was amazing.
-I’m a natural.
-You’re a natural.
[laughs]
What, uh-- What have you been doing?
Oh, I just got off the phone with my reps.
You got me kind of jazzed about the idea
of that convention, so I just--
They’re on it.
-They’re all over it. Yeah.
-Oh. Already?
-Yeah.
-With the Eternal cast?
-Yeah. Yeah.
-Cool.
You kinda sold it to me,
so I just thought I’d jump on it.
I did, didn’t I?
-Yeah.
-Well, just, you know,
um, make sure that’s really
what you wanna do.
You know, make sure that’s, uh--
You know, check all your boxes.
Oh, for sure, for sure.
I mean, it’s not-- it's not in stone yet.
-Right.
-But I think you made it sound fun.
-Yeah. I did.
-Yeah.
Okay
Would-- Would you have dinner with me?
The two of us? My place?
I’ll cook a dinner for us.
What is this hesitation?
Why have you not said yes?
Um
Do you know
who you are standing next to?
Oh, come on.
I do. Yeah.
[Ebuka] This man right here is a legend.
If I were naked right now, no clothing,
he would give me everything off his back,
and his shoes too.
Listen to me. Listen.
There is a saying in Nigeria.
When a ripe fruit sees an honest man,
it drops.
Huh?
Look, let me, um
[laughs]
I like that saying.
Let me walk it back a little bit.
I don’t mean for it
to sound like a date.
I’m just tired of cooking for myself.
It’d be nice to cook
for someone else too.
And I miss you.
I miss you too.
So let’s do it.
I would love to. Thank you.
Wonderful chef.
[laughs]
Let’s do it.
[man] What are you thinkin'?
Eat shit!
[grunting and yelling]

Well, this is nice, Mom.
Isn’t it? I love it.
I am so happy here.
Peaceful.
And busy.
My investment properties are doing great.
I’m also managing Andrea’s condo
in Palm Springs, as you know.
Yeah.
And that has appreciated like crazy.
-Has it?
-Oh, the market is nuts.
-It is, huh? Yeah.
-Yeah!
That’s awesome. That’s awesome.
She says hi, by the way.
She misses you guys.
Do you see her? I mean
Yeah. We talk.
I mean, things are much better now
than they-- they were.
But, um, we’re friends.
Friends?
Yeah. Friends.
-Aye, Jeremy.
-Right now, I’m just trying
to stay the course, you know?
Focus on the sobriety,
and hopefully that leads to good things.
Mijo, I’m glad you stopped drinking.
You were never a good drunk.
-Nope.
-No.
And neither was your father,
and you got that from him.
Okay. Fair enough.
Do you remember how competitive
you used to be,
and you had fire,
and you had all this drive?
I just want to see that fire.
The passion, the fire
that you got from your mamita.
Yeah.
Mijo, do you think
you’ll get that back?
You know, I don’t really think
it ever left, to be honest.
I think it’s still there.
I just, uh, need to find
a healthy way to channel it.
I’m really proud of you, Jeremy.
Thank you, Mom.
I appreciate that.
Now, let’s get the ladder
because I have decorations
and I have tool boxes
that I cannot lift,
and there’s a photo album
that I want you to see.
-Oh, okay, whoa. All right.
-Come on.
Real reason for my visit, revealed.
[Seth] Telling a trainer
he’s got a gut takes balls.
[Amber] All right, I get it, Magic Mike.
If you won’t say yes to me now,
allow me to woo you over GIFs.
The sweetest.
[Amber laughs]
That was so good.
-Yeah?
-That was great.
Sorry, I d-don’t have any adjustments.
Um, but there is one thing.
Can I get a photo of you shirtless?
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Wait a second here.
And
Whoo!
Okay. In character.
-Did you shave?
-Yeah. We can--
If you want to let them know,
like a note, I just--
Yeah, that won’t be there
in a week.
Okay, great. One, two, flex.
-Um
-You know what?
Should I do a couple
of push-ups real quick?
-I was gonna say
-Yeah, get a little pump.
-Be right back.
-[laughs]
[indistinct chattering]
Is the creator gonna see it?
The creator’s gonna see it. And lift.
Yes! Yes!
[sighs]
Sorry, I
I stood up too fast.
Okay, take-- take your time.
Take a deep breath.
-[Seth] I’m okay.
-[casting director] Okay.
-Okay. We’re good. Yeah.
-Good? Okay.
Now, one, two, flex.
-Great. I think we got it.
-Cool.
[casting director] Thank you so much
for making our jobs easier.
-Yeah. Thank you.
-Oh, there you go.
See you guys again,
maybe with a little less clothing.
-[casting director] Oh!
-Should you be so lucky.
-Is that a promise?
-[all laugh]
[Seth] But thank you.
-Appreciate it.
-[casting director] Thank you.
[Seth] Thank you.
[upbeat jazz playing]
[cell phone chimes]
[laughs]
Hey, Seth.
Oh. Hey.
Hi.
I never do this,
but, uh, that was really fun,
and I think you’re great.
-Um
-Thank you.
And, uh, would you wanna hang out?
Sure. Yes. I mean, I would love to.
Do you want to hang out right now?
Well, I can’t now.
I have to go back in the session.
-Right.
-My sister is the, uh, casting director.
-Oh, okay.
-I’m just filling in,
so it’s not a conflict of interest
or anything like that,
and I-I-I know of your work,
but I’m not like a super fan.
This feels really creepy, doesn’t it?
-I’m so sorry.
-No, you’re fine.
Like, honestly, that was
one of my best reads ever.
Half of that was you, so
-Great.
-Thank you.
-Yeah. Should I put my info?
-Right. Yeah, yeah.
Um, here.
There you go.
Great.
So, was it the, uh, shirtless dancin'?
No, I just, um
I thought we had
a really great connection,
and I liked your personality.
Here you go.
Thank you, Amber.
Yes.
Amber is the color of your energy.
-Incubus.
-No, it’s actually 311.
-Right.
-Yeah.
That’s what I meant.
-I’m sure they tour a lot together.
-Right.
Yeah.
Um, I guess I’ll hear from you soon.
-Thank you.
-Yeah.
-Or, bye. Sorry.
-Bye.
-I’ll text you.
-Talk to you soon.
[uplifting music playing]
[Jeremy] Hey, um, it’s me.
Uh, Jeremy, it’s Jeremy.
Yeah, I just, um
I wanted to give you a call
because, uh, you were right again.
[laughs] So
-Hang on a second.
-thank you
for the words of encouragement.
I was like,
"What doctor walks like that?"
Yeah, I was thinkin'
maybe we could get together sometime
and just-- just catch up.
I'm-- I’m pretty wide open
these days, so
[Michael] This is actually--
No, this is actually
from the hills of Santa Clarita.
But-- But I’m just-- Look, I, uh
This is just-- This is all--
Hey, um, I know I’ve been
kind of all over the place.
It’s been a pretty shitty time.
But it really means the world
that you’ve been there for me.
I don’t take it for granted,
and, yeah.
Thank you.
[glasses clink]
[laughs]
Yeah, it would-- it would just be
really great to see you.
So, um, give me a shout. Give me a call.
Okay? I-I hope you have
a really great night.
Um, all right, bye, Andrea.
