  • Let's talk about the crew.

  • Very funny show and a great idea because it's set in the world of NASCAR, and it really, which is Ah, hugely popular part of America, you know, an Americana.

  • And so it seems to me like it was a good decision to set it there.

  • And your character, it feels like this gives you an impression to kind of try different things.

  • You know what I mean?

  • Like you've been.

  • You've been working a couple of impressions in there every now and then.

  • Oh, yeah, this is I'm not great at impressions, but one of my co workers did A s.

  • So I had to pull out in the De Niro impression right away.

  • Because just just the face.

  • Yeah, it was just one of those.

  • I'm not.

  • It's not good.

  • No.

  • Yeah.

  • I'm not good at impressions.

  • I don't have.

  • Do you have impressions?

  • I don't do.

  • I mean, I do cartoony impressions over the years of certain people.

  • Like for years.

  • I would do Schwarzenegger years and years ago.

  • And then I realized it's basically a dictator ranting on, did it.

  • Sounds like he has sausage in his mouth, but you do any of your friends?

  • Because I know you and Ray Romano were tight And everybody who, Ray.

  • Hey, uh, come on.

  • You know, that was always that one.

  • Then everybody started doing race, so I went away from that.

  • I had a little bit of a rocky for a while.

  • Rocky Balboa, the Rocky Balboa, which everybody had just hit my own.

  • Uh, it was all that stuff.

  • But what I like is I have a Mickey.

  • Yeah, Mickey Trainer.

  • No, Everyone does.

  • Rocky, no one does make it.

  • Let me try to do a Mickey, Okay?

  • You find bombs into your you must ban that.

  • You're fighting your correval e.

  • You have to.

  • Yeah.

  • Between him and Stallone, you you need subtitles to know what's going on.

  • That's that's very good.

  • That's very good.

  • The thing I don't I don't do a Ray Romano impression.

  • But the thing I've noticed about him is that for a guy who's had so much success in his life, it hasn't changed him at all.

  • And he's just And he's always just kind of, uh on and I don't know.

  • And every time I see him, I'm like, Chris, Good to see you.

  • is.

  • So it's a sunny day.

  • I could rain soon.

  • Uh, like I don't know.

  • Yeah, Yeah.

  • Personified.

  • Yeah.

  • He's amazing.

  • Amazing.

  • You can't.

  • You can't.

  • You won't get to talk very much into a conversation.

  • You'll get deep into it without him bringing up a skin tag or just something bad in his life that's gone awry.

  • You're like, all right.

  • Things are good, right?

  • You're doing all right.

  • Yeah, but come on.

  • You know, it's like, uh, how many years could I have left?

  • Uh, eso you play in the crew, You're the crew chief of this NASCAR racing team.

  • So And And what's again?

  • What's nice is it's a good ensemble piece, because it's it works into the show very nicely that there's a bunch of people you have to work with.

  • And so you get these great characters involved, and I would imagine also you get you get to have some real NASCAR personalities come in without a doubt.

  • Yeah, we've had Ryan Blaney and Cole Custer and these guys are great.

  • They're great actors.

  • To which which annoyed me honestly, they were very funny when they came on the set.

  • That's the one of the benefits of being having NASCAR behind you.

  • You know you're not doing smash occur.

  • You know where you're kind of making up this world.

  • They give you everything, they give you cars, and we've had the drivers and and all that.

  • But the key to it is, man is the cast of this one for me because, I mean, I've done domestic comedies before, and this is a workplace comedy, which is different for me, but the ball man U condition the ball to them, and they're just fantastic.

  • They're just so great.

  • They're young, good, funny.

  • They really pissed me off in a way because they are so good.

  • Like I thought I'd be the old guy, kind of given the tips of a sitcom, how a sitcom works and all that stuff they're really they're much better than I ever was.

  • So it za pleasure to share that.

  • I could relate to that.

  • I get really irritated when really good looking athletes are also very funny.

  • Yeah, and I'm like Blake Griffin, you don't need this.

  • You know, this is your so good in one area of your life, and then you do this, and I'm like, Oh, Oh, you're really quick and funny.

  • This is all I ever had.

  • Ah, little bit of And you know what I mean?

  • I can't dabble in what you're doing.

  • It's irritating.

  • Well, we have a clip here.

  • We have a clip here from the crew and anything we need to do to set this up.

  • I don't I'm not sure we need anything for it.

  • No, I don't think not during Cove it if we don't do setups during co vid?

  • No, they were taken away.

  • That's the thing I want.

  • When Covitz over and we all get vaccinated.

  • I want my setups.

  • I want set ups to come back.

  • Alright, let's take a look at this clip from the crew.

  • All right, Here you go.

  • And our waitress apologizes.

  • Ryan Blaney, grab your wings up car before she picks them up.

  • Son of a bitch!

  • Ryan Blaming what?

  • Pick me off?

  • I think so.

  • That's a weird way to lick your fingers.

  • I don't know.

  • Hey, what are you doing?

  • We figured you had enough wings.

  • You just shut down.

  • No, we mean like in life.

  • Oh, hey, I said I didn't see you there.

  • Well, you hop up on blaming shoulders and coming is one person.

  • I'm 58 That's average height if you're standing your helmet yard.

  • That helmet won the Daytona 500.

  • I just wanna have one meal without you bringing that up, man.

  • So they Yeah, and they have a sense of humor about themselves to really good on day.

  • One quick question you had.

  • I heard an audience laughing, so that was probably shot just pre Covic.

  • Are you able to shoot now?

  • And And how do you How do you work it out?

  • We shot seven episodes with a live audience, which was fire.

  • It was great.

  • And then we had three.

  • We were able to come back and finish the three without an audience.

  • So that was brutal because of the energy.

  • You don't you know, you you got to keep it up and you don't realize how much you fall off without that live audience.

  • Look, Kevin, you're talking to a guy who built his career on pity laughs, and so I need them very badly.

Let's talk about the crew.
