00:00I would say The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein was the last book I read that
00:12knocked my socks off. It really was an in-depth education on the way that the
00:17capitalist class exploits everyday working people to continue to do their
00:22dark work. Were you hoping for like Miranda July? Although shout out to her
00:28but you know what I mean. The performance and the performer who made me want to do
00:33comedy as an actor I would say is perhaps Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura Pet
00:39Detective. I realized that my general vibe is a little bit lower energy but I do
00:45I do take massive inspiration from a great physical comedian. I think it's up
00:51there with with the mask of course Pet Detective 2 is just as solid as the
00:56first when nature calls. Also I would say like the Wayne's World canon as well.
01:02What do I need in my trailer? This question is actually real making me
01:06realize that I have a bear trailer. I think I think like canned water like
01:12water that isn't in a plastic bottle is like truly the only thing you will ever
01:16find in my trailer. I don't even have like a blanket or a pillow like I think this is
01:20um actually a great question because it's pushing me to say like perhaps maybe I can
01:24have something in there. You know maybe I can be a little more comfortable so I
01:29appreciate the question. If I were not here today I'd perhaps be on a walk or
01:33reading a book or talking with friends or working memorizing lines etc classic stuff.
01:40I'm just kind of a homebody so I'd be probably just chilling vibes. If I could
01:44switch jobs actually we play this game on on the hack set of what department would
01:48you be in if you weren't in your department and I always say transpo. You
01:51know I'm a driver I'm from Los Angeles I grew up in Los Angeles I was behind the
01:55wheel at 11. Is that right is that legal you know no but my dad would take me to
01:59the empty parking lot of the federal building in Westwood and just let me
02:02behind the wheel. I love cars I love driving I'm often complimented on on my
02:07driving. My philosophy is like what are road rules other than yet another
02:13construct meant to sort of confine artistry you know what I mean like when
02:18I'm driving I'm dancing when I'm on the road I'm weaving it's choreography in a
02:22way you know it's it's spontaneous choreo but I just you know I I guess like who
02:28wrote those laws we need to interrogate you know the systems and the structures
02:32and and where that comes from I think and that's what I said to the judge I did
02:38more nudity this season than I have and I have found it really yeah yeah I found it
02:45really empowering
