Hi everybody.
00:02:09
This is L.A.
00:02:10
This is our first live.
00:02:12
I was just telling everyone in L.A how good they look.
00:02:15
Including you.
00:02:20
Tim, well look who's talking.
00:02:20
Well thank you, thank you.
00:02:23
Yeah, sir, first, oh thank you.
00:02:26
This is our first live show in Los Angeles.
00:02:29
This is very exciting.
00:02:30
Whoa.
00:02:33
Was that a strobe player?
00:02:37
Was that one another strobe?
00:02:37
That was an A plus joke, Tim.
00:02:46
That was incredible.
00:02:49
Hi Tim.
00:02:51
Hi Maggie.
00:02:52
That was a little, that was a little weird.
00:02:54
You wanna do it again?
00:02:55
You wanna do it again?
00:02:56
Hi Tim.
00:02:56
Hi Maggie.
00:02:57
There it is.
00:02:57
Tim, you look fantastic.
00:03:00
Well thanks for noticing Maggie.
00:03:02
You look fantastic.
00:03:03
And yeah, too, even with my reading glass, I can tell how fantastic you look.
00:03:05
Really?
00:03:06
Thank you.
00:03:07
I have to say, I have to call out my favorite feature of this amazing suit that you're wearing.
00:03:11
But it's gotta be your socks.
00:03:14
Oh, you mean my Maggie socks that I've never done a live show without?
00:03:18
That's true.
00:03:19
I'm on Tim's socks.
00:03:21
I know you're all jelly.
00:03:24
A little weird.
00:03:27
But anyway, Tim.
00:03:28
Maggie.
00:03:29
We're here.
00:03:29
We are here, where are we again?
00:03:32
We are at the fond theater in Los Angeles.
00:03:34
Very first live show in Los Angeles in our hometown.
00:03:39
I mean, not we grew up, but close where we live, so therefore it's our hometown.
00:03:43
Yes, this is our hometown now.
00:03:44
It is our hometown now.
00:03:45
And thank you all so much.
00:03:46
I know some of you traveled and everything.
00:03:49
And I know some of you have been touring around LA and having a great time while you're here and sharing all your photos.
00:03:55
Come and see us.
00:03:56
Speaking of tour, this is if Christmas is not the wrong.
00:03:59
Show number nine of the Psych Pod Tour 24, yes?
00:04:02
Yeah, this will be our, this is our second to last show of 24/10.
00:04:07
The penultimate, I believe they call that.
00:04:09
Yeah, they do.
00:04:10
Just you wait for Psych Pod Tour 25.
00:04:13
Oh, yeah, it's already in the works.
00:04:17
And hopefully we'll be back in LA.
00:04:19
Hopefully, yeah.
00:04:21
Well, I think if they demand it, we will.
00:04:23
I hear a challenge.
00:04:27
It feels weird that we're not in Santa Barbara.
00:04:30
I mean, just like that we haven't done a show there, just because this is, what?
00:04:36
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
00:04:39
Yeah, no, that's what I'm going to do.
00:04:41
It's out of our way.
00:04:42
Do you sense, yes?
00:04:43
But yeah, it would be.
00:04:44
Before we get to this amazing episode of The Psychologist Ren, it's Psycho Edge podcast.
00:04:51
That's what we're doing.
00:04:52
I feel like there's a lot of room over on that, on that couch.
00:04:56
And I feel like we should introduce something very special.
00:04:58
Yes, I think, I think that we should.
00:05:00
Because...
00:05:01
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please welcome our dear, dear friend.
00:05:08
And he's a fan.
00:05:09
One of, I think, one of the greatest human beings is going to get really shy about that.
00:05:12
Joe McHale!
00:05:14
Joe McHale.
00:05:20
Here's some Joe McHale, everybody.
00:05:24
Cheers, man.
00:05:25
Wait, Joe, where is your...
00:05:28
I've never seen Joe McHale without a drink.
00:05:32
It's so perfect that you brought out our cocktails.
00:05:34
[Cheering]
00:05:37
Great, great.
00:05:41
Where's your drink?
00:05:42
I drank it.
00:05:43
Well, you need to get you another drink.
00:05:45
Look, your intro was 35 minutes long, so I have to...
00:05:50
Get someone get Joel another drink.
00:05:52
Joel, I'm a slow walker.
00:05:53
Joel, I had a freaking stroke.
00:05:55
How dare you!
00:05:56
Wait a minute.
00:05:56
You had a stroke?
00:05:57
How dare you?
00:05:58
Hang on, there's a whole movie about it.
00:06:01
We're going to talk about it.
00:06:01
Oh, it's exciting.
00:06:02
We're going to talk about it right now.
00:06:04
Well, yeah.
00:06:04
Well, Joel, hi.
00:06:06
I got my, uh, Doole Hill socks on, guys.
00:06:08
Yes, uh, Doole.
00:06:11
Big fans, more wool.
00:06:13
Yeah.
00:06:13
I've got to say, I think I'm a little more partial of mine.
00:06:17
I mean, Doole's handsman all, but...
00:06:18
I like Tim's better.
00:06:19
These are good.
00:06:20
They don't look make you look like a serial killer or anything.
00:06:23
No, no.
00:06:23
You should see the tattoo on my back.
00:06:26
It's a tattoo of socks.
00:06:29
Yeah, sorry, man, it's just the socks with...
00:06:33
A bunch of little Maggie faces on the socks.
00:06:35
Yeah, it's not weird at all.
00:06:37
And then just a spiderweb from all the P.V.U.
00:06:39
killed.
00:06:40
Praise him.
00:06:42
Sure, it hurts.
00:06:43
It is getting dark.
00:06:44
It hurt a lot, but my bestie is worth it.
00:06:48
Yeah, that's what I said.
00:06:50
Maggie, where are your, uh, Tim's socks?
00:06:51
Look, I have a fit.
00:06:53
Everything's in question.
00:06:53
I'm wearing a fit.
00:06:55
And I don't know that the socks go with the fit.
00:06:57
And I am a polo, I know both.
00:06:59
Thank you.
00:07:00
I deserve that.
00:07:00
I deserve that.
00:07:02
She's got the tattoo on, uh...
00:07:04
Oh, yeah, my Tim tattoo.
00:07:05
I have one here and one back here.
00:07:07
Well, you can cover it with makeup now.
00:07:08
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:09
I have a Tim tattoo.
00:07:10
It's from his show Medicine Ball in 1997.
00:07:13
But you know that reference?
00:07:17
Yes.
00:07:17
His wife.
00:07:18
Yes, hey.
00:07:19
But you all grew up.
00:07:22
And I believe it's that co-starved under your friend.
00:07:25
Hanson Daggett?
00:07:28
Oh, yeah.
00:07:29
Is it in the house?
00:07:30
I believe it's in work.
00:07:31
Hey.
00:07:32
Hey, oh, she says.
00:07:33
All right, all right.
00:07:34
This is great.
00:07:36
I feel like I should...
00:07:36
Joel.
00:07:37
Yes.
00:07:37
I have a very important question now.
00:07:38
It's a very important question.
00:07:40
Are you...
00:07:41
I'll give you a second.
00:07:42
Yes.
00:07:42
Are you ready?
00:07:44
Joel McCale, man that I love.
00:07:46
Are you ready to help my dear friend Maggie lost and I podcast the shit out of this very special episode of the show?
00:07:51
I call the district...
00:07:52
Hey, psych watch podcast.
00:07:53
I am extremely ready to help you podcast the shit out of this podcast.
00:07:57
Louisiana Cancer, I like it.
00:08:00
Here.
00:08:00
There's a strobe.
00:08:02
There's a strobe like...
00:08:03
No, and Tim already said it.
00:08:04
I feel like I'm having my Nintendo seizure now, so...
00:08:08
Maggie, should you ask them?
00:08:12
Should you ask them?
00:08:13
Oh, I have a very...
00:08:14
Yes, of course.
00:08:15
Because we can't actually get this underway until we ask all of you...
00:08:19
Are you L.A.
00:08:22
ready to help us podcast the shit out of?
00:08:25
Oh my god.
00:08:28
It's a different strobe.
00:08:32
It's like it changes lights.
00:08:34
And anyway, so, okay, this is good.
00:08:36
I guess we can start now.
00:08:38
Should we start?
00:08:38
I mean, this episode, okay?
00:08:40
Wait, you haven't been recording?
00:08:41
Okay, look.
00:08:42
It seems ridiculous to me.
00:08:45
It's been eight minutes.
00:08:47
It has?
00:08:48
Are we on a time?
00:08:50
Somebody get to have a drink.
00:08:52
Let me pull up my very special, professional nose.
00:08:54
Yeah, he's going to bring up his nose.
00:08:55
Oh, great, great.
00:08:56
We have a thing.
00:08:57
We...
00:08:57
So I have...
00:08:58
I'm going to do things a little different tonight, because we have so many very special stories from this episode movie.
00:09:06
We're doing a "Lacicam Home."
00:09:08
Psych two, that's right.
00:09:10
Psych two, tonight.
00:09:11
But I'm not going to go as deep into all of the details.
00:09:16
You all know what happens.
00:09:17
You all...
00:09:18
You all saw...
00:09:19
Because we have...
00:09:19
Don't ruin it for me.
00:09:20
Also, Steve and James and Andy wrote a three-hour movie.
00:09:25
We're not doing point-by-point.
00:09:28
I think it's two hours.
00:09:29
Maybe?
00:09:30
Is it three?
00:09:31
Steve, are you here, Steve Frank?
00:09:34
How many hours is psych two?
00:09:36
Right there.
00:09:37
That's the editor right there.
00:09:39
Oh wait, I was trying to embarrass Steve, because Steve Frank is definitely in the audience.
00:09:43
Anyway, so yes, James, what do you want to read?
00:09:47
Before we start, Maggie, because our pal Joel is here, I have a very special psych group separation with Joel.
00:09:53
We do.
00:09:55
So Joel and I grew up 20 minutes from each other.
00:09:58
Never met until...
00:09:59
I can't do some marine glasses.
00:10:00
Because I want to look at your face.
00:10:02
Oh, thank you.
00:10:03
Because I want to see you cry.
00:10:05
So Joel and I grew up 20 minutes from each other.
00:10:06
It didn't meet until we both fell up to turn and talking to Hollywood.
00:10:09
And our kids and our kids went to school together, like a couple miles out of the street.
00:10:15
Yeah, at the Scientology Center.
00:10:17
And, uh, Joel...
00:10:20
Suddenly came dearest friends in the world.
00:10:24
I mean, that's what you always said, right?
00:10:27
Yes, no.
00:10:28
What's your best friend at that school?
00:10:29
Well, I wasn't going to...
00:10:31
It was Ethan Sandler.
00:10:32
But, uh...
00:10:33
No, that I know.
00:10:35
Tim and I grew up in the same city, and ironically Ethan Sandler, who we also both know, grew up half, we grew up half a mile away from each other.
00:10:44
But Tim, what?
00:10:46
Oh, yes, go dogs.
00:10:47
Thank you.
00:10:48
Yes.
00:10:48
Go Huskies.
00:10:49
Uh, but Tim, here's the thing...
00:10:51
I don't know if you know this about Tim.
00:10:52
Or knew this about Tim, or now will know.
00:10:56
Is that Tim was the prodigy of Seattle, and every young male actor was trying to be Tim Amenset.
00:11:05
And you think I'm joking.
00:11:07
I'm sure you've shown the headshot where your hair is flowed.
00:11:11
You look like a lion, and, uh, your hair is flowing.
00:11:15
I mean, it continues to be, uh, just very jealous of it.
00:11:19
And, uh, Tim was like...
00:11:21
He was like the...
00:11:22
Like, we had offered him, like, uh, like Moses in a rebasket.
00:11:26
We were like, "You go to Hollywood."
00:11:28
And everyone was like, "And I remember casting agents for the...
00:11:32
For Seattle, I had this little, you know, entertainment business."
00:11:35
And they were like, "Well, Tim's going to get this, but you can audition for it."
00:11:39
Uh...
00:11:40
No, and then...
00:11:41
He did something that...
00:11:42
And because I brought up medicine ball earlier.
00:11:44
But he booked a series regular role out of nowhere in a non-LA or New York City, which is extremely rare,
00:11:55
rarely happens.
00:11:56
And Tim did it.
00:11:57
And, uh, I was so jealous that I made a little doll.
00:12:01
And I just stabbed it.
00:12:03
And then...
00:12:04
But the strange thing is, like, prior to getting the chop...
00:12:06
Seattle, like, you say I was...
00:12:09
You said very nice things about you.
00:12:10
Thank you.
00:12:10
This one about you.
00:12:11
You're welcome.
00:12:11
That's for you.
00:12:12
But I just don't...
00:12:13
Been doing high school theaters.
00:12:14
So, I don't know where this...
00:12:15
Unless...
00:12:16
Yeah, he was just doing high school theater and then just booked a series regular on a network television.
00:12:19
That's how you do whatever.
00:12:20
I mean, we all do it.
00:12:22
I...
00:12:22
I was...
00:12:23
I played Emily in our town, whatever.
00:12:25
And...
00:12:26
I was Emily's dad.
00:12:28
Yeah, see?
00:12:29
Anyway, that's...
00:12:31
So then, Tim and I met at Remet.
00:12:33
Well, I wanted you to be on the soup when that was on...
00:12:38
When that was a joke.
00:12:39
Thank you for...
00:12:40
You kindly invited me on twits.
00:12:42
I thought it was even more than that.
00:12:44
Was it only twice?
00:12:46
It was only twice.
00:12:47
It's from the bitch.
00:12:48
Turn it down so many times.
00:12:50
Well, I mean...
00:12:50
You turned down the soup?
00:12:52
It was a little like kind of basic cable shell.
00:12:53
Yeah.
00:12:54
No, I did two episodes.
00:12:56
I had a ball.
00:12:56
I...
00:12:57
You were good.
00:12:58
I was so flattered and just...
00:12:59
overwhelmed when you asked me.
00:13:01
Because you are such a superstar.
00:13:04
One of the funniest men in the world.
00:13:07
Okay.
00:13:08
To ask me to come be on your shoulders.
00:13:09
Yes, that's true.
00:13:10
Go ahead.
00:13:11
I quickly learned the hard way.
00:13:13
Never try to out-funny Joel McCale because he will cut you to the quip.
00:13:16
Yeah, to the quip.
00:13:18
And the quip.
00:13:19
You'll beat me to the quip.
00:13:21
I've heard of those ways.
00:13:22
Look, you used the word pen ultimate and backstage you were like...
00:13:28
What does that mean?
00:13:31
I know ultimate.
00:13:32
What does pen mean?
00:13:33
It's the one before the last.
00:13:34
It really is.
00:13:36
Yes.
00:13:36
I'm enlightened.
00:13:38
And it really showed you the University of Washington.
00:13:40
Failed me.
00:13:41
So now I know.
00:13:44
I feel ridiculous.
00:13:46
I never knew that story.
00:13:47
I didn't know you booked.
00:13:48
It was medicine ball, right?
00:13:49
Yeah, but you were already on a different show at that point.
00:13:52
What?
00:13:53
Wait, what's the show he got right out of high school, or right out of college in Seattle?
00:13:58
Oh, it was his point.
00:13:59
It was very classy though.
00:14:03
Yeah, no, no.
00:14:03
It was like David to come and he'd read your diary stuff.
00:14:06
But it was good.
00:14:08
It was well done.
00:14:10
But no.
00:14:10
But it was for what team pulled off?
00:14:14
It was like an astronaut.
00:14:15
It was like, oh, you got in a rock and it went to the moon.
00:14:17
We were all like, I hope we booked that Microsoft industrial.
00:14:23
Meanwhile, you were on TV already.
00:14:25
You were a huge celebrity in Seattle with your-- Yeah, well, again,
00:14:35
a serial killer, which they're all there.
00:14:37
The Green River killer.
00:14:39
Ted was there.
00:14:40
And I was on a local sketch comedy show, yes, called "Almost Life."
00:14:45
In my hat.
00:14:46
Oh, very cool.
00:14:47
Look at that.
00:14:48
The legacy contingent.
00:14:49
But Bill Nye got his start there and now he's Bill Nye.
00:14:55
And so I was very lucky because I got on that show.
00:14:58
I was an intern and they thank God put me on that show.
00:15:01
I love this story.
00:15:03
You just skipped right over it.
00:15:04
Do you like how you have to sit here and watch us out compliment each other, Maggie?
00:15:08
I love it.
00:15:09
Well, that's all we do.
00:15:10
We love it so much.
00:15:11
That's how we live.
00:15:12
Imagine how Gritchie looked tonight, right?
00:15:13
Yes, oh, I don't know.
00:15:15
Yes, you did.
00:15:16
But thank you.
00:15:17
I'll take it again.
00:15:18
Yeah, you guys look great.
00:15:19
I said, you guys look like you run a club in New York.
00:15:23
He smokes the guards indoors somewhere.
00:15:26
I bought a new suit just for you all just for tonight, just so you guys know.
00:15:29
Yeah.
00:15:30
Because I wanted to make it classic because I knew what Maggie was going to work.
00:15:32
So I got to try and bring my classic game up.
00:15:35
That's not true.
00:15:36
You had your outfit picked out before me and you know it.
00:15:38
You set me a picture of your suit and I was like, "Shit, I got to get something nice."
00:15:43
Which one of you?
00:15:43
No, it was and I think I'm thinking behind this.
00:15:46
And then you sent me this and I'm like, "Okay, now I am buying this."
00:15:49
Yeah, oh, okay.
00:15:50
All right, good.
00:15:50
And that goes like your journey.
00:15:52
Thanks to this suit, I met Joel Stiles Jose, who helped me get this suit.
00:15:56
Yeah, Jose Camilo, guys.
00:15:58
He is one of the, I've worked with him for 20 years.
00:16:02
He's a wonderful man.
00:16:03
A felon, but a wonderful man.
00:16:05
Our psyched degree of separation is not nearly as cool as that one.
00:16:10
How we met, which was on a television show.
00:16:15
This is pretty cool.
00:16:16
It's not terrible.
00:16:17
Yeah.
00:16:18
And then we did another television show.
00:16:19
Yes.
00:16:20
Playing the same-ish kind of characters.
00:16:22
We played brother and sisters that were in love.
00:16:24
And it was a forbidden love.
00:16:27
We got married.
00:16:28
It was really creepy.
00:16:30
Wait, which was this?
00:16:31
I forgot this one.
00:16:32
Yeah, no, it's a weird fit.
00:16:34
It's an eye, okay, maybe I'd made up a backstory.
00:16:37
Whatever.
00:16:37
Joel and I, we've played love interests a couple times and we'll show up and look at each other and be like, "This, we could be brother and sister."
00:16:47
We really do look, if you look at the noses alone.
00:16:51
The noses alone, my brother's met you and they're like, "Huh, when people say who we look like, they're like, "Oh, do you ever get the look like Joel McCannes?"
00:16:58
And you're like, "Thanks."
00:16:59
My forehead is not that big.
00:17:01
We did a couple of shows.
00:17:02
I'm the only person in this room.
00:17:05
Her forehead.
00:17:06
I'm playing her.
00:17:07
That was my Maggie lost an impression.
00:17:10
I'm the only person in this room.
00:17:13
Those were walking off to come to a taping of the great indoors to see you to play love interests.
00:17:18
That was fun.
00:17:18
That was fun.
00:17:19
That was fun.
00:17:20
2016.
00:17:21
2016?
00:17:22
Yes, that's right.
00:17:24
And then we did Santa Clarita diet.
00:17:26
Where I played most favorite character I've ever played because I was so to jerk.
00:17:33
It was very funny.
00:17:35
And I never get to do that.
00:17:36
And I was very good.
00:17:37
I don't know, in all those horror movies, you're a total jerk.
00:17:45
And now we're all sitting here, and we've all...
00:17:46
I feel like I worked with you.
00:17:48
Then Tim, I discovered you all had this friendship.
00:17:51
And I was like, Joel's like one of the greatest people I've ever worked with.
00:17:55
And also, and he was like, isn't he?
00:17:57
He's one of the greatest people.
00:17:58
And then...
00:17:59
Hey, you really teed me up.
00:18:01
Thank you.
00:18:01
Oh, you're welcome.
00:18:02
So here's my favorite Joel story.
00:18:05
Oh, great.
00:18:06
Because of this, this movie is about that thing that happened that was in all the papers.
00:18:10
What?
00:18:11
I just dropped Maggie.
00:18:12
Oh!
00:18:13
That's almost seven years ago, I'm fine.
00:18:14
No idea.
00:18:15
Yeah, okay.
00:18:16
So as that event happens, my dearest darling, Y.
00:18:21
Falson, rushed to the airport with our friend, Jensen.
00:18:24
And literally turns the corner in security at LAX, runs into this beautiful son of a bitch.
00:18:33
And Burson Tears tells her to the news, then she proceeded to, they both come to my rescue and the ICU in Tampa, Florida, where I went down.
00:18:43
And Joel proceeded to send a test.
00:18:46
So he texted me, text Allison, and she then read to me in my ICU bed and said, "Sip with this, Tim, you're fucked.
00:18:55
You don't know that she had a jet of stroke."
00:19:00
And then every day, Joel would send us all videos, like funny videos, just that also would hope to me my little ICU bed,
00:19:10
just to make me, and you just maybe laugh my ass off the, all through the ICU.
00:19:15
So I love you so much and thank you for that.
00:19:17
All right, let's talk about something we all need.
00:19:18
Great sleep.
00:19:20

00:20:43
You had a stroke, but you will remember this.
00:20:44
So I'll send you another video tomorrow.
00:20:47
I'll send the exact same thing.
00:20:48
Not only.
00:20:50
And it was, hey, you want to go for a run?
00:20:51
There was a lot of that.
00:20:53
Bali ball tomorrow?
00:20:54
It sounds great.
00:20:55
I came to visit Tim when he first came to LA when you were first moved here after that in Century City somewhere.
00:21:06
And I remember going to visit you and you handed me your phone and you said, here, can you just go to my messages and you had like 7,000 text messages.
00:21:18
And I remember and I said, I said, what are you?
00:21:20
And you were like, no, no, just Joel.
00:21:22
Just go to Joel's.
00:21:23
It's not the news, it's not the news.
00:21:26
No, it's not the news.
00:21:27
In this video.
00:21:28
Every day, and he told me that.
00:21:30
He said, I, like, he couldn't really, I don't think you, I mean, you had so many messages, but he would say every single day, it was what a Joel sent.
00:21:38
And you text him every day.
00:21:41
There was a while.
00:21:42
And then I just forgot.
00:21:43
But no, no, no, I had a stroke who was terrible.
00:21:47
We're making Joel uncomfortable.
00:21:48
So after that, you were honest, we're going to get into the movie in a second.
00:21:53
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:21:54
After I was in that one hospital, I was then moved to a residential rehab facility that I called Stroke House.
00:22:01
It's a different kind of thing.
00:22:03
Don't Google it.
00:22:04
This rehab facility was, they had various residential facilities.
00:22:13
They already named something like the name of the streethouse, like Smith House.
00:22:16
So I was living in Smith House, which was very much like Herschel House.
00:22:19
I was bored out of my mind and Joel would send me amazing videos.
00:22:23
We would send videos back and forth, and you got me through those days when you really did.
00:22:30
Oh god bless you.
00:22:31
You got to remember you said the video of you were like, "Well, I had my skull reinstalled."
00:22:36
And then you had this scar going down, and then you literally said, "That's where the bullet went past me and my kids were young enough."
00:22:45
They were like, "Wait, he got shot too?"
00:22:47
And I was like, "No, no.
00:22:54
Maybe.
00:22:54
Yeah.
00:22:54
Believe it, it's fine, kids."
00:22:55
That's where the bullet went through the helmet.
00:23:00
Yeah, that's literally, it was...
00:23:02
I had the most amazing file in my photo.
00:23:04
I was like, "Videos, two Joel videos from Joel."
00:23:06
Again, I was so bored out of my mind that I would just like, "I need something to make myself laugh."
00:23:12
Just back and forth, and I love you for it so much.
00:23:15
Oh god bless you.
00:23:16
That's the only nice thing I've ever done.
00:23:18
True.
00:23:20
I love you, Tim Almondson.
00:23:21
Yeah, I love you more Joel, okay?
00:23:23
It springs us to...
00:23:25
If you ever have a catastrophic medical emergency, I will send you all sorts of videos.
00:23:32
You too out there if you pay for the cameos.
00:23:35
400 bucks a piece.
00:23:38
I'm going to try to get through that.
00:23:42
Okay, I'm on my note now.
00:23:45
Are we?
00:23:45
Okay.
00:23:46
So, Maggie, will you tell me a story?
00:23:50
Tell you a story.
00:23:52
Tell me the story of how do we get this amazing man to come to our movie?
00:23:54
So, we've talked about the first movie.
00:23:59
You all kind of know what happened.
00:24:01
I think if you followed the story at all, brings us to the second movie, which was...
00:24:06
It really was, like, Tim...
00:24:09
First off, the recovery you made in that period of time was miraculous.
00:24:16
And he fought so hard, and so Steve and James and Andy, when they were, you know, talking about the second movie,
00:24:28
it was going to be Lassie's movie.
00:24:30
It's called Lassie Come Home.
00:24:31
It was going to be Lassiter's...
00:24:32
Well, it was going to be Tim's coming back, but also Lassiter has, obviously, they had a very similar story to what happened with Tim.
00:24:45
And so we had, I think, they had this idea.
00:24:49
I didn't really know the whole plot yet or everything that was happening, but I knew that there was going to be an appearance by Tim's Lassiter's dad.
00:24:58
And I remember, I think it was...
00:25:02
The first text was from James that was like...
00:25:07
Well, do you want to tell this story because I also don't want to like...
00:25:10
I want to lead up perfectly to how we kept this a secret for as long as we did.
00:25:16
But James and Allison and I, Steve, everybody was...
00:25:20
We were like...
00:25:21
Oh my God, if Joel McHale would come and do this, it would literally be...
00:25:29
I mean, it would mean so much to Tim, but to all of us, but we know how much you mean to him, it would be the perfect match.
00:25:35
And yeah, and...
00:25:38
If you make me cry, I'm leaving.
00:25:41
We're going to make you cry.
00:25:42
And it was like a sim...
00:25:44
Like, you know, Joel's really busy.
00:25:46
And so the time going on all of the time.
00:25:50
And the man.
00:25:50
And so I sent...
00:25:53
I think it was...
00:25:55
It was me.
00:25:56
It was me.
00:25:57
I think it was me.
00:25:58
I think I sent you the first text or Allison.
00:26:00
I'm not sure.
00:26:02
And it was...
00:26:03
I think it might have been you.
00:26:04
I think it was me.
00:26:05
And it was like an immediate yes.
00:26:08
Like, not even a hesitate.
00:26:11
So we knew we had...
00:26:12
That my quote immediately.
00:26:14
And I was like, great.
00:26:16
Private James.
00:26:17
Vancouver.
00:26:18
And of the bag of million dollars.
00:26:22
But then, it became a whole...
00:26:24
Allison and I, Steve...
00:26:26
Everybody's like, "How do we keep this a secret?"
00:26:30
So...
00:26:30
The director.
00:26:31
The director.
00:26:32
Yes, you take over now.
00:26:33
Because this is...
00:26:34
So they said, "Okay, we've got it cast.
00:26:35
Not four months.
00:26:37
I was pestering everybody.
00:26:39
Steve Franks, our minister producer, Chris Hansey, James, Maggie, every like, Allison.
00:26:44
Like, who's been my dad?
00:26:45
Who's been my dad?
00:26:45
Because it's an important role for me.
00:26:47
It's a really emotional stuff I need to know.
00:26:48
Like, they're gonna get some Yahoo.
00:26:50
It's like, who's been my dad?
00:26:53
I was on Yahoo.
00:26:53
Who's green for two years.
00:26:56
So...
00:26:57
So there's...
00:26:58
Eventually, they came up with a fake name on a call sheet.
00:27:02
Do I believe...
00:27:03
Crutching for Rome was a Paul girth?
00:27:05
Yes.
00:27:05
Okay, yes.
00:27:09
Which was the name you chose, Crutch?
00:27:11
Yeah, I chose that name.
00:27:12
Man, they're...
00:27:13
I literally went to school with someone named Paul girth.
00:27:16
But I didn't...
00:27:17
There was still a long, I was like, "Oh, I didn't realize his name was a dick joke."
00:27:21
Sorry, Paul.
00:27:23
And...
00:27:24
But yes, Paul girth was the...
00:27:26
Yes, I...
00:27:27
Yeah.
00:27:27
And we told you...
00:27:29
I worked up on him to being Paul girth.
00:27:31
See what his credits are?
00:27:32
Nothing.
00:27:33
Like, sons of bitches.
00:27:35
I knew they were gonna...
00:27:36
They were gonna stand back with us, guys.
00:27:37
So I'm on set one day.
00:27:39
Do you guys made a concept earlier or not?
00:27:40
Like, okay, so we're gonna...
00:27:43
So I'm sitting...
00:27:43
They kind of bring me on to set and they kind of put me in a little chair.
00:27:45
And Steven, Chris, come out.
00:27:48
So, okay, we're gonna do...
00:27:49
We want to do...
00:27:49
Who's playing Tim's father.
00:27:51
It's like, he's a local actor.
00:27:53
Really nailed the audition.
00:27:55
Joel comes out the door and I...
00:27:57
Burst out laughing like the biggest laugh I'd had in years.
00:28:00
And you came up and...
00:28:03
I have this video...
00:28:04
Yeah, because Tim said, "You can't play my father."
00:28:06
You?
00:28:09
Okay, now I've got it.
00:28:09
That was a good one.
00:28:10
I mentioned it's a really dramatic role that requires some...
00:28:13
Some chops, right?
00:28:14
And...
00:28:16
The guy from cable.
00:28:17
Great.
00:28:17
What do you...
00:28:19
Yeah, that sketch comedy show.
00:28:21
So, Joel came out and I just...
00:28:23
was so overwhelmed of love that you...
00:28:25
A.
00:28:26
Want to come play with us and then to play my dad was...
00:28:29
Just, and I...
00:28:30
It was an amazing, amazing day.
00:28:33
This video is one of my favorite.
00:28:34
So, it was just only after pestering everyone that...
00:28:40
Their big reveal, which was how you all kept this under wraps.
00:28:45
Fake name and all.
00:28:46
And you, unfortunately, were...
00:28:48
Were not unfortunate.
00:28:49
You were working, right?
00:28:51
I came, I had come down to LA.
00:28:52
So, I missed the reveal of the actual day that Joel walked on to set.
00:28:57
But I got all the videos and I also was like...
00:29:00
We were telling you, yeah, it was a local...
00:29:01
Like a local actor.
00:29:03
Local actor.
00:29:03
He was...
00:29:04
Don't worry, but he really nailed the audition.
00:29:05
Yeah, and then I heard...
00:29:07
I heard what happened.
00:29:08
I heard you burst out laughing and then also into tears.
00:29:12
There was a lot of tears involved, yes.
00:29:15
Yeah, it was really special.
00:29:17
Yeah, well, I'm never going to reveal that I've ever been emotional about anything, but...
00:29:20
It was pretty cool.
00:29:23
Yeah.
00:29:24
And they were like, "How you gonna keep it a secret?"
00:29:26
I'm like, "He had a stroke.
00:29:27
He's gonna have no idea."
00:29:27
Oh, good.
00:29:31
He'll never know.
00:29:32
Worked with them in the early arts.
00:29:34
It was pretty...
00:29:37
It was one of the more meaningful things I've got to ever do.
00:29:41
So, as an actor.
00:29:42
So, it was...
00:29:43
Oh, my God, you're...
00:29:44
Pretty great.
00:29:45
Jim McKell's being sincere right now.
00:29:47
Yeah, no, it just never happens.
00:29:49
It's very...
00:29:49
And I know everything I say sounds sarcastic, but I swear I'm not being sarcastic.
00:29:55
No, it was...
00:29:56
Yeah, I'll start crying.
00:29:57
And it was just...
00:29:58
For the guy who's really cornered the market playing assholes, Joel.
00:30:00
Yes, thank you.
00:30:01
That just shows what a great actor you are, because you are the furthest from that.
00:30:05
Well, I like to think all the assholes I've played were secretly the heroes.
00:30:10
And everyone knows that.
00:30:12
So, but yeah, it was just...
00:30:14
It was just...
00:30:16
Matt, it was so great.
00:30:17
And then, thank God, they didn't, you know, make us play brother and sister, a husband and wife.
00:30:21
Yeah.
00:30:21
Yeah, again.
00:30:24
Just the subtext.
00:30:24
Yes.
00:30:26
It was really...
00:30:27
And I when I read that...
00:30:28
Obviously, it was incredibly well-written as almost half of the psych episodes are.
00:30:34
And 34 of them are.
00:30:36
But yeah, it was just so well done.
00:30:39
I was just like, it was a...
00:30:41
Yes.
00:30:42
We had a good time.
00:30:43
And then you got to...
00:30:44
We got...
00:30:45
I did get to come up right after that.
00:30:47
And we all got to have some fun.
00:30:49
And what we usually do in Vancouver, which is...
00:30:51
Okay.
00:30:52
Happy.
00:30:52
Just...
00:30:54
Such so many party units.
00:30:56
You should see her.
00:30:57
On MDMA.
00:30:59
It's crazy.
00:31:00
It's the wild, you all.
00:31:02
Yeah.
00:31:03
All right.
00:31:03
Should we jump into this?
00:31:04
She's got an overhand right, like you've never seen.
00:31:07
Well, that's actually true.
00:31:09
Should we jump into this episode?
00:31:11
Yeah.
00:31:12
Movie?
00:31:14
Or what?
00:31:14
Do we want to keep sharing stories?
00:31:16
So I'm going to do...
00:31:17
I'm going to do a very brief...
00:31:18
Again, because like we know kind of what happens.
00:31:21
But we'll go through these beats of...
00:31:22
There are some very important moments in this episode.
00:31:25
First off, Lazy Come Home, psyched too, written by Andy Burman, Steve Franks.
00:31:30
James Rodei Rodriguez.
00:31:31
Directed by Steve Franks, who is here tonight.
00:31:34
Steve, where are you?
00:31:35
I don't know where you're going.
00:31:37
Steve.
00:31:38
Steve Franks.
00:31:38
Our hero.
00:31:39
Steve, stand up.
00:31:40
You can't miss him.
00:31:41
He's so tall.
00:31:41
Where is he?
00:31:44
Is he at the bar?
00:31:44
He's always been thrown out.
00:31:46
He was fighting.
00:31:46
All right.
00:31:47
He's at the bar.
00:31:49
He's at the bar.
00:31:50
We love you, Steve, so much.
00:31:52
Drinks are on Steve.
00:31:53
Joel needs a drink, actually.
00:31:57
Okay.
00:31:57
So, all right.
00:31:58
This, um, this was, this aired in 2020.
00:32:01
This aired right in the middle of the pandemic.
00:32:04
The synopsis.
00:32:05
I'm going to read a...
00:32:06
Yes.
00:32:07
Yes.
00:32:08
It's very fitting that the very first line of the movie is the word "dad"? Oh.
00:32:14
Because that's you, buddy.
00:32:15
It's so sweet.
00:32:17
No, I believe, yes.
00:32:20
This is when I become speechless.
00:32:23
I usually am a diarrhea mouth of everything.
00:32:25
And then I'm like, "Ah, it's great.
00:32:26
It's fine.
00:32:27
It's wonderful.
00:32:27
Yep.
00:32:28
Yep.
00:32:28
It was so sweet.
00:32:29
This was perfect casting.
00:32:31
This is a flashback.
00:32:33
Young lass that are bonds with his father, John MacKale, while hiking.
00:32:36
But his father suddenly disappears.
00:32:39
But not just hiking.
00:32:41
He asks a very important question.
00:32:42
Is his dad, when I grow up?
00:32:44
Well, I'll be able to grow a beard like that.
00:32:45
And I love this exchange.
00:32:46
And you say, "It's not just a beard.
00:32:47
It's a king's beard."
00:32:49
Which was Steve and Annie and James.
00:32:52
Thank you, because that was an odd to my signature hashtag.
00:32:54
When I was doing a little show called "Galvan."
00:32:56
Plug for "Galvan."
00:32:56
It's always hashtag king's beard.
00:32:59
And I remember, I remember, your beard.
00:33:02
You had, like, it looked like it had four days' growth.
00:33:04
Like, you didn't have this big beard.
00:33:06
It was...
00:33:07
It was so...
00:33:08
No.
00:33:08
I just Steve, thank you for the king's beard reference.
00:33:12
Yes.
00:33:14
And then we cut to...
00:33:16
No, and they were like, "How'd you get such a great hair?"
00:33:17
I'm like, "These are hair transplants on."
00:33:19
Things start thinning out.
00:33:22
There's a man.
00:33:23
And Sherman Oaks, they can really help you.
00:33:25
Is his name...
00:33:27
What's his name?
00:33:28
Jose?
00:33:28
Who's the stylist?
00:33:29
No, no, no.
00:33:30
The hair painter.
00:33:31
Oh, okay, the hair doctor.
00:33:32
He got it.
00:33:32
He said, "Oh, he me."
00:33:33
You didn't have to give his name, but...
00:33:36
Well, you asked his...
00:33:37
I did, I wanted to know.
00:33:38
I think...
00:33:38
What is it?
00:33:39
Okay.
00:33:40
Anyway.
00:33:40
Well, oh, sorry.
00:33:41
Still along with the king's beard story.
00:33:43
And there's a wonderful line where...
00:33:45
My dad says, "Just remember, son.
00:33:48
It's not the beard that makes the man."
00:33:49
No, it's not the beard that makes the king.
00:33:51
And I say, "I know, I know, it's the queen."
00:33:53
Which was an amazing shout-out to my real-life queen, Allison.
00:33:57
Yes.
00:33:58
And my mom was like, "My on-screen queen, Marlowe."
00:34:04
Yes.
00:34:05
But mostly it's the real-life queen, Allison.
00:34:07
Yeah, okay.
00:34:09
Oh, okay.
00:34:10
After that very beautiful scene, we cut to present day and we see adult loss that are near death from gunshot wounds.
00:34:20
And he's flashing back in this memory.
00:34:22
Lasseter wakes up in Herschelhouse.
00:34:26
Sorry.
00:34:27
And in the scene when I'm...
00:34:28
So I've been...
00:34:29
I've got three slugs, I mean.
00:34:30
And I'm just saying, "Please don't."
00:34:32
The first thing I noticed was how weak my voice was.
00:34:34
Which was A, because I've been shot three times.
00:34:37
And B, I had just had a freaking stroke.
00:34:39
So it all worked out that I could have a weak voice in this.
00:34:42
So yeah, it's the Herschelhouse, please.
00:34:44
Yeah, we're in Herschelhouse, but I'm also going to say that never crossed my mind, actually.
00:34:49
I mean, I know what you were working through with that, but I had never thought your voice sounded weak.
00:34:54
I actually was really moved.
00:34:55
The scene is so good.
00:34:57
This is where your friends...
00:34:58
This is where your friends...
00:35:00
But it's good.
00:35:01
Yeah, and then you're...
00:35:02
Okay.
00:35:03
And then we see the gunshot go off again.
00:35:04
Which is the first time in the history of psych.
00:35:07
You actually...
00:35:08
I think it's first time.
00:35:09
You see actually see somebody get shot in the background.
00:35:12
Which means it's a show first for the psychologist or in.
00:35:14
So you all know what to do.
00:35:16
Pull the car over.
00:35:17
Get down off the ladder.
00:35:18
Because it's the only one.
00:35:19
Wait, wait, Henry.
00:35:20
I am Sean.
00:35:23
Okay, it's the first time in a movie.
00:35:25
But, um, which means it's the first time in history in the psychologist's room that I'm the one who's almost murdered.
00:35:37
Yeah.
00:35:37
I think we can do it again.
00:35:41
And I think we could also use some help.
00:35:43
So wait, so...
00:35:44
It was the first time I was almost...
00:35:45
No, no, no.
00:35:48
There it is.
00:35:48
Well played.
00:35:49
So now we're in Herschelhouse.
00:35:51
After surgery and a stroke.
00:35:53
Sean and Gus bring Morrissey as a gift.
00:35:55
I'm suspect glass that is...
00:35:59
Let me address him in Herschelhouse.
00:36:00
So when I'm yelling at the boys, again, it's like, you were sent out to me and I was like, "All I'm watching this entire episode, all I'm hearing is my weak voice.
00:36:09
Every scene, every line I had in that bed was weak.
00:36:13
Because, A, my lungs were...
00:36:14
I'm still waiting for my lungs to get my breath back.
00:36:17
But the fact that I was laying down, so they tilt the back of the bed up, just like a little more lung capacity.
00:36:23
But the problem is Steve chose he's very lovely, satin kind of seats.
00:36:29
Sheets.
00:36:30
So I would just...
00:36:31
I'd sit up and then I would slowly slide down.
00:36:33
So I was back, back in my back again.
00:36:35
And, um, our amazing key grip, Jeff Plakas, would come over to you.
00:36:40
They'd be cradled me like a baby and put me back out.
00:36:42
And I'd slide down again slowly.
00:36:45
We'd do that 20 times until finally they were like, "Let's put a sandbag at its feet, we have some leverage."
00:36:48
But they'd be like, "I'm just sliding back and forth, like, sub-slide."
00:36:52
So I'm yelling at the boys and there's no voice there.
00:36:56
Okay, you may proceed.
00:36:58
I don't think that at all.
00:36:59
But yes.
00:37:00
And I wish we got a name.
00:37:01
A Herschelhausen name for any Germans.
00:37:03
Dear departed, great day in Herschel that we all load.
00:37:05
Yeah.
00:37:06
We've referenced Herschel a few times on the show.
00:37:09
And just as far to me getting into the Herschelhaus, after he's been almost what?
00:37:15
You guys are great at improv.
00:37:18
So I mean the ambulance and I actually did my own, rather probably, I did my own POV camera work.
00:37:25
They had a camera on a gimbal because they couldn't fit so many in the back of the ambulance.
00:37:29
And Steve and everyone was very concerned that I was going to PTSD from being loaded back in the ambulance so they had to shoot it.
00:37:35
But I was, I've motored through, it was the last, I remember it was the last day of work.
00:37:38
You were there for that day?
00:37:39
I was there for that day.
00:37:41
That was an incredible day.
00:37:42
And you did a great job doing your POV work.
00:37:44
I think I learned a lot from from Garth.
00:37:47
And well, mostly from Mark and Chikoni, our amazing camera operator, Tell the Well.
00:37:51
Also, I have to show it up, Morrissey, the dog, who is the best.
00:37:57
Like, we, that was two movies now.
00:38:00
We've had Morrissey.
00:38:01
And you know why he's so great?
00:38:04
Because rescue dogs don't have ugly hearts.
00:38:05
That's it.
00:38:06
Oh.
00:38:08
They don't.
