And I was quite young when it came out.

00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,570

There was that line like, the

shit's really going to hit the fan.

00:00:04,570 --> 00:00:06,970

And then they like, there was

some shit thrown into a fan.

00:00:07,060 --> 00:00:08,640

And I was like, was that really poop?

00:00:08,860 --> 00:00:11,110

And he was like, no, no,

they just mixed together some

00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:12,450

stuff and threw it at the fan.

00:00:12,459 --> 00:00:13,530

It wasn't actually poop.

00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:15,680

00:00:28,744 --> 00:00:35,125

Today we are sitting down with actor

Jordan Bridges, a very talented guy, and

00:00:35,125 --> 00:00:42,015

the new movie Den of Thieves 2 Pantera

came out this past Friday, January 10th.

00:00:42,015 --> 00:00:45,585

It's with of course Gerard

Butler, O'Shea Jackson Jr.

00:00:45,585 --> 00:00:47,815

It is in theaters right now.

00:00:48,125 --> 00:00:52,455

Also, he's in the Apple TV show

Palm Royale along with Kristen

00:00:52,455 --> 00:00:56,875

Wiig, Josh Lucas, Ricky Martin, and

of course the great Carol Danvers.

00:00:56,895 --> 00:00:57,605

Burnett.

00:00:57,645 --> 00:01:01,695

Also, he was in the TNT show

Rizzoli and Dials with N.

00:01:01,695 --> 00:01:01,905

00:01:01,905 --> 00:01:02,355

Harmon.

00:01:02,415 --> 00:01:05,315

Uh, very talented guy, of

course, uh, comes from a long

00:01:05,324 --> 00:01:07,495

family history of, uh, actors.

00:01:07,525 --> 00:01:11,944

Uh, his grandfather, Lloyd Bridges,

uh, his dad is, uh, Bo Bridges, and

00:01:11,944 --> 00:01:16,655

of course, the dude is his uncle, of

course, Jeff Bridges, uh, the dude.

00:01:16,655 --> 00:01:19,325

I mean, wouldn't that be the

most awesome uncle to have?

00:01:19,635 --> 00:01:20,365

I think so.

00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:23,070

We discussed a lot about his

career and what he's up to.

00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:25,180

Just a really enjoyable chat.

00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:27,150

And this one lasted a long time.

00:01:27,210 --> 00:01:30,820

Uh, this is probably, I'm going to

check the records, but I believe

00:01:30,829 --> 00:01:36,609

this is the longest episode, uh, in

this show's history and it was great.

00:01:36,705 --> 00:01:37,715

I really enjoyed it.

00:01:37,715 --> 00:01:38,465

This was a treat.

00:01:38,735 --> 00:01:43,675

Uh, and of course, lots of love and good

thoughts, uh, going to Jordan right now.

00:01:43,955 --> 00:01:45,815

Uh, LA fires going on.

00:01:45,825 --> 00:01:48,665

Of course, this chat we had

was a little while back.

00:01:48,675 --> 00:01:51,805

It was before the LA

fires, which are just.

00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:53,070

Absolutely terrible.

00:01:53,090 --> 00:01:56,180

Uh, so many people are affected

and it's just tough to watch.

00:01:56,430 --> 00:01:57,920

I'm sure you've been doing the same thing.

00:01:57,950 --> 00:02:02,260

Uh, having the news on, uh, is just,

uh, breathtaking to see what's going on.

00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,999

Uh, wishing him the best.

00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:09,370

Of course, uh, I am thinking about all of

my friends and of course our guest today.

00:02:09,420 --> 00:02:15,220

Hopefully, uh, everybody will be bouncing

back bigger, better, stronger than before.

00:02:15,455 --> 00:02:16,895

00:02:59,095 --> 00:03:02,265

It's Jordan Bridges day right

here on story and craft.

00:03:04,085 --> 00:03:04,765

How are you today?

00:03:04,765 --> 00:03:05,205

My friend?

00:03:05,445 --> 00:03:06,275

I'm good, man.

00:03:06,275 --> 00:03:06,975

How are you doing?

00:03:07,194 --> 00:03:08,035

Nice to meet you.

00:03:08,234 --> 00:03:10,124

Oh, it's, it's more than a pleasure.

00:03:10,415 --> 00:03:11,705

Where are you joining me from today?

00:03:11,835 --> 00:03:14,175

I'm in Topanga with your

dad being in the business.

00:03:14,175 --> 00:03:17,644

You grew up in LA, I'm assuming,

or did you grow up outside of LA?

00:03:17,895 --> 00:03:21,734

Jordan Bridges: No, I grew up,

uh, all in sort of various parts

00:03:21,734 --> 00:03:26,724

in the Valley, uh, from North

Hollywood, all the way to Calabasas.

00:03:26,935 --> 00:03:29,055

Marc Preston: When I was a little

kid, I always envied the people

00:03:29,055 --> 00:03:30,515

that got a chance to grow up out.

00:03:30,545 --> 00:03:34,375

It was always this mystical place, the

Valley, you know, and I was a Texas kid.

00:03:34,375 --> 00:03:38,704

So, so it was, uh, there was a romance

to it, you know, kind of living out

00:03:38,704 --> 00:03:40,414

there amongst all the stars or whatever.

00:03:40,415 --> 00:03:42,504

But, uh, and then I did live out there.

00:03:42,505 --> 00:03:44,075

I was like, well, maybe not

00:03:44,075 --> 00:03:46,355

Jordan Bridges: as much,

not, not that romantic.

00:03:46,435 --> 00:03:50,765

I mean, even when you think

about, uh, Hollywood, uh, or

00:03:50,775 --> 00:03:52,024

Hollywood Boulevard, it's, it's.

00:03:52,025 --> 00:03:53,285

It's really not romantic.

00:03:54,755 --> 00:03:58,905

Marc Preston: Yeah, I do enjoy getting

out there for a little bit of eating.

00:03:58,925 --> 00:04:01,914

I know I was out there, God, with

my little, my, uh, how old is she?

00:04:01,914 --> 00:04:03,595

No, she's, she's turned 19.

00:04:03,845 --> 00:04:04,484

She was 17.

00:04:04,515 --> 00:04:07,425

I brought my daughter out there, my

youngest, and we were there for a

00:04:07,425 --> 00:04:09,744

long weekend for work related stuff.

00:04:10,105 --> 00:04:11,079

And, um, yeah.

00:04:11,170 --> 00:04:15,720

I put 400 miles on my rental

car from Thursday to a Sunday.

00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,339

Just drive or Monday morning, uh,

just driving around eating, you

00:04:19,339 --> 00:04:22,089

know, I was like, that's one thing I

don't miss about living in Southern

00:04:22,089 --> 00:04:23,799

California is all the driving, you

00:04:23,799 --> 00:04:24,019

Jordan Bridges: know?

00:04:24,029 --> 00:04:27,469

Yeah, there is a lot of

driving, but there is good food.

00:04:27,654 --> 00:04:31,804

We, in, in LA, we've definitely

got some great restaurants.

100

00:04:31,874 --> 00:04:35,414

Marc Preston: I just spoke with, um,

Ben Ford, uh, Harrison Ford's son has,

101

00:04:35,414 --> 00:04:38,744

uh, his, uh, Ford's filling station,

you know, some restaurants out there.

102

00:04:38,754 --> 00:04:42,244

And, uh, I, I was telling him, I said,

just talking to him and all it did

103

00:04:42,244 --> 00:04:45,474

make me hungry, you know, like I didn't

have lunch before I spoke with him.

104

00:04:45,475 --> 00:04:46,394

That was a bad idea.

105

00:04:46,394 --> 00:04:48,234

But, uh, so what are you up to today?

106

00:04:48,244 --> 00:04:51,194

Anything, uh, you're doing some work,

you get a little time off, you know,

107

00:04:51,314 --> 00:04:52,814

Jordan Bridges: I've

got a bit of time off.

108

00:04:53,024 --> 00:04:56,344

Um, and this is my, this is

my big event for the day.

109

00:04:56,344 --> 00:04:58,004

So I've cleared the decks.

110

00:04:58,124 --> 00:04:58,774

Oh my gosh.

111

00:04:58,774 --> 00:04:59,424

I got, hopefully I

112

00:04:59,424 --> 00:05:00,214

Marc Preston: don't disappoint.

113

00:05:00,364 --> 00:05:01,454

Jordan Bridges: I'm ready for action.

114

00:05:01,654 --> 00:05:03,004

That's, that's where I'm at.

115

00:05:03,004 --> 00:05:09,034

I'm, I'm really hoping, uh, that, uh,

we provide some engaging and informative

116

00:05:09,034 --> 00:05:10,544

entertainment for your listeners.

117

00:05:10,699 --> 00:05:11,999

Well, you will, I don't know about

118

00:05:11,999 --> 00:05:12,199

Marc Preston: me.

119

00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:13,739

I'll do the best I can, you know?

120

00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,109

So no, I just caught the other day.

121

00:05:15,109 --> 00:05:19,139

I saw the, uh, uh, first

iteration of a den of thieves.

122

00:05:19,789 --> 00:05:20,599

Uh, God, when was it?

123

00:05:20,599 --> 00:05:24,049

Uh, a few days back, I just

kind of ran across it again.

124

00:05:24,249 --> 00:05:28,129

You, of course, uh, Gerard, you know,

he, he is, of course, is showing back

125

00:05:28,149 --> 00:05:32,579

up and, uh, O'Shea Jackson, I was like,

okay, well, maybe they're going to, you

126

00:05:32,579 --> 00:05:34,239

know, get you in a gun battle this time.

127

00:05:34,379 --> 00:05:37,059

There was a lot of machismo

in the previous, I know,

128

00:05:37,479 --> 00:05:37,819

Jordan Bridges: I know.

129

00:05:37,819 --> 00:05:41,024

Well, Here's the, the

funny thing behind that.

130

00:05:41,054 --> 00:05:46,004

Um, first of all, I just, I was

thrilled to be invited back.

131

00:05:46,064 --> 00:05:50,474

Um, that Christian, uh, you know,

the director and writer of the,

132

00:05:50,514 --> 00:05:55,134

of the piece, he, he, uh, was kind

enough to include my character,

133

00:05:55,134 --> 00:05:58,454

Laban Bob, uh, in the new iteration.

134

00:05:58,634 --> 00:06:03,804

Um, Having survived the first

one, probably because I wasn't

135

00:06:03,804 --> 00:06:05,434

getting into too much gunplay.

136

00:06:05,964 --> 00:06:10,034

Um, but I, I had a lot of

fun with the character.

137

00:06:10,054 --> 00:06:11,684

I really connected with Jerry.

138

00:06:11,824 --> 00:06:16,704

Um, we had a ball, you know,

kind of playing in the few scenes

139

00:06:16,714 --> 00:06:17,794

that we did in the first one.

140

00:06:17,794 --> 00:06:18,634

And so it was great.

141

00:06:19,369 --> 00:06:22,659

To, uh, kind of, you know,

jump back into that world.

142

00:06:22,659 --> 00:06:31,139

And, um, my thing was that, uh, I keep

on, cause I I've been for many years now.

143

00:06:31,179 --> 00:06:36,589

Um, I've been a martial arts

enthusiast and, um, it's a

144

00:06:36,589 --> 00:06:38,070

pretty big part of my life.

145

00:06:38,139 --> 00:06:43,159

And I've never, I haven't had too much

opportunity to get into that in, in

146

00:06:43,159 --> 00:06:46,739

the Um, and so I was really excited.

147

00:06:47,339 --> 00:06:52,259

When I, uh, when I saw that, you know,

it looked like I was going to be in

148

00:06:52,259 --> 00:06:55,829

the second one and I kept on begging

Christian to throw me into some, you

149

00:06:55,829 --> 00:06:58,069

know, let me mix it up a little bit.

150

00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:05,209

And there was an iteration of the,

of the script where we, I, I, uh, I

151

00:07:05,209 --> 00:07:08,904

challenge him, to a sparring match.

152

00:07:10,024 --> 00:07:13,444

Um, but then that didn't, that

didn't make the final cut.

153

00:07:13,444 --> 00:07:13,584

Yeah.

154

00:07:13,584 --> 00:07:14,544

But you, you look at him

155

00:07:14,544 --> 00:07:17,584

Marc Preston: and he's such a, you know,

especially what was, what was maybe 500?

156

00:07:17,644 --> 00:07:18,174

Was it, was that?

157

00:07:18,244 --> 00:07:18,864

Oh yeah.

158

00:07:18,954 --> 00:07:19,734

Jordan Bridges: No, he would,

159

00:07:20,324 --> 00:07:20,844

Marc Preston: he would

160

00:07:20,844 --> 00:07:21,564

Jordan Bridges: kick my ass.

161

00:07:21,564 --> 00:07:22,894

There's no question about that.

162

00:07:23,024 --> 00:07:24,054

But you just look at this guy.

163

00:07:24,054 --> 00:07:24,494

He was just

164

00:07:24,494 --> 00:07:25,834

Marc Preston: like such a specimen.

165

00:07:25,854 --> 00:07:27,454

Like now he's still in good shape.

166

00:07:27,464 --> 00:07:30,234

But I mean, I think that those,

uh, all those guys in there

167

00:07:30,234 --> 00:07:31,574

were just almost unnatural.

168

00:07:31,789 --> 00:07:32,199

You know,

169

00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:33,260

Jordan Bridges: you know, every time I

170

00:07:34,269 --> 00:07:36,149

Marc Preston: look at him, I'm

like, Oh, I got to get to the gym.

171

00:07:36,239 --> 00:07:38,399

You know, kind of excited

where I live here.

172

00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:41,329

The building, a new, uh, I live on an

Island in South Texas and they're about

173

00:07:41,329 --> 00:07:45,919

to build a, uh, or a bill or put in a

new, uh, like, uh, uh, a gym basically.

174

00:07:45,979 --> 00:07:46,549

Oh, cool.

175

00:07:48,009 --> 00:07:49,219

Jordan Bridges: On one

of the barrier Islands.

176

00:07:49,219 --> 00:07:50,169

Are you like, yeah, yeah.

177

00:07:50,189 --> 00:07:51,090

South Padre,

178

00:07:51,129 --> 00:07:55,609

Marc Preston: uh, South Padre, which is,

uh, Um, I would say it's about six miles.

179

00:07:55,659 --> 00:07:58,900

I live on the Island six miles

North of where, uh, Elon Musk's

180

00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:00,979

shoots off his, uh, SpaceX rockets.

181

00:08:01,069 --> 00:08:01,209

Yeah.

182

00:08:01,219 --> 00:08:01,679

I see.

183

00:08:02,329 --> 00:08:03,249

I'm a Texas boy.

184

00:08:03,689 --> 00:08:06,529

I figured I was like, you know, I

had options youngest off to college.

185

00:08:06,549 --> 00:08:07,569

Where am I going to go?

186

00:08:08,039 --> 00:08:08,719

I don't know.

187

00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:10,189

We mentioned Southern California.

188

00:08:10,189 --> 00:08:11,369

I'm from Dallas originally.

189

00:08:11,369 --> 00:08:15,139

And I was like, you know, I'm not big

into driving as much as I used to be.

190

00:08:15,149 --> 00:08:17,849

So I'm like, uh, plus I'm going

for the Jimmy Buffett lifestyle.

191

00:08:17,859 --> 00:08:18,659

So nice.

192

00:08:18,659 --> 00:08:18,679

Bye.

193

00:08:19,549 --> 00:08:21,629

But, uh, but yeah, I saw the

gym was opening up and it's

194

00:08:21,629 --> 00:08:22,639

like, I got to get back to work.

195

00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:25,189

I always over promise myself, like

you're going to get in, you're

196

00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:26,259

going to be getting great shape.

197

00:08:26,259 --> 00:08:26,469

And,

198

00:08:26,679 --> 00:08:27,129

Jordan Bridges: you know, I

199

00:08:27,129 --> 00:08:30,479

Marc Preston: think I'm, uh, we're,

I think we're basically, uh, I think

200

00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:32,029

we're, I think we're the same age.

201

00:08:32,029 --> 00:08:32,629

I think I looked it up.

202

00:08:32,629 --> 00:08:34,669

I'm like, I think I'm nine

months older than you are.

203

00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:35,299

I think that's it.

204

00:08:35,299 --> 00:08:35,499

205

00:08:35,529 --> 00:08:38,249

Jordan Bridges: 73, I'm

born in February, 73.

206

00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:39,029

Marc Preston: Yeah.

207

00:08:39,289 --> 00:08:40,509

Coming up on the big five too.

208

00:08:40,579 --> 00:08:40,959

You know?

209

00:08:40,989 --> 00:08:41,979

Ah, man.

210

00:08:42,249 --> 00:08:44,869

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, I just had my 51st.

211

00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:49,589

Um, and I can feel it, you

know, my body's definitely

212

00:08:49,589 --> 00:08:52,499

starting to revolt a little bit.

213

00:08:52,509 --> 00:08:58,669

It's, uh, twice the, you know, twice the

effort for half the gain kind of thing.

214

00:08:58,869 --> 00:08:59,699

Isn't that, isn't

215

00:08:59,699 --> 00:09:00,629

Marc Preston: that some shit right there?

216

00:09:00,629 --> 00:09:02,439

It's like, you feel like

you put in a good day.

217

00:09:02,979 --> 00:09:03,409

Recovery

218

00:09:03,819 --> 00:09:07,119

Jordan Bridges: takes twice as

long, you know, you just have to,

219

00:09:07,129 --> 00:09:10,039

there's a lot more planning goes

involved to kind of maintaining.

220

00:09:10,129 --> 00:09:12,399

Marc Preston: You're talking

about the, uh, martial arts.

221

00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:14,919

That's had to, that's been

a big part of your life.

222

00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:16,839

So that's probably kept

you in some good shape.

223

00:09:16,839 --> 00:09:18,519

It kept you in a routine, you know?

224

00:09:18,809 --> 00:09:25,479

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, no, it, it's, uh, I

think it's, it's the kind of shape that I

225

00:09:25,489 --> 00:09:27,699

like to be in, which is that I'm, I'm not.

226

00:09:28,479 --> 00:09:33,479

I've never been, uh, one to be

super worried about, uh, you

227

00:09:33,479 --> 00:09:38,059

know, aesthetics and being, you

know, hyper cut and all that.

228

00:09:38,079 --> 00:09:46,209

I, I just like to be able to know that

if I'm called to act, uh, and, uh, that

229

00:09:46,209 --> 00:09:53,079

I can, you know, know that I will be

able to physically, uh, challenge myself.

230

00:09:53,139 --> 00:09:57,484

Um, And I like to kind

of test those limits.

231

00:09:57,554 --> 00:10:01,514

Um, and I, it's just, I,

I love it as a practice.

232

00:10:01,514 --> 00:10:05,594

I love the community, uh,

around martial arts is amazing.

233

00:10:05,654 --> 00:10:13,029

I love the kind of, um, and not, not in

every, you know, Sort of a section of that

234

00:10:13,029 --> 00:10:19,509

world, but I, I do love the confluence

of, uh, mind, body and spirit practice.

235

00:10:19,629 --> 00:10:23,029

I think that that's

really healthy all around.

236

00:10:23,089 --> 00:10:24,029

Um, I've been

237

00:10:24,029 --> 00:10:26,479

Marc Preston: meaning to get it

more into, uh, the meditation

238

00:10:26,499 --> 00:10:29,259

thing, you know, that seems like

it makes, it makes a lot of sense.

239

00:10:29,259 --> 00:10:32,569

And, you know, the more I look

at, uh, Like I talked to somebody

240

00:10:32,569 --> 00:10:35,779

the other day that does, uh,

Tai Chi as a practice, you know?

241

00:10:35,869 --> 00:10:36,169

Yeah.

242

00:10:36,229 --> 00:10:37,999

It's just little things to stay, you know?

243

00:10:37,999 --> 00:10:40,279

I like for instance, I dunno if

you ever watched Anthony Bourdain.

244

00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:41,749

I, I think towards, I

love, you know, I love, I

245

00:10:41,749 --> 00:10:42,829

Jordan Bridges: loved Anthony Bourdain.

246

00:10:42,834 --> 00:10:42,934

Marc Preston: Yeah.

247

00:10:42,939 --> 00:10:43,219

Yeah.

248

00:10:43,219 --> 00:10:44,689

He was kind of my spirit animal.

249

00:10:44,689 --> 00:10:46,729

And you saw it, you know,

towards the, towards, you know,

250

00:10:46,729 --> 00:10:47,989

the last few years of his life.

251

00:10:47,989 --> 00:10:52,295

He was really into the, uh, uh, uh,

uh, juujitsu and he just got cut.

252

00:10:52,295 --> 00:10:52,374

Yeah.

253

00:10:52,374 --> 00:10:52,780

He was into

254

00:10:52,780 --> 00:10:57,700

Jordan Bridges: Brazilian juujitsu and,

and he, uh, he put a lot of time in and I

255

00:10:57,700 --> 00:10:59,920

think he even got promoted a couple belts.

256

00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:00,970

Um, if I'm.

257

00:11:01,245 --> 00:11:02,025

Not mistaken.

258

00:11:02,185 --> 00:11:02,395

Marc Preston: Yeah.

259

00:11:02,395 --> 00:11:04,685

I mean, you, but you look at them

and here's a guy that I think he

260

00:11:04,685 --> 00:11:06,755

was a late fifties, early sixties.

261

00:11:06,775 --> 00:11:09,115

I don't remember exactly, but

he's son, he's just great.

262

00:11:09,115 --> 00:11:09,245

Chip.

263

00:11:09,255 --> 00:11:10,645

I'm like, if he can do, yeah.

264

00:11:10,865 --> 00:11:12,465

I'm like, this like hard drinking

265

00:11:12,465 --> 00:11:16,385

Jordan Bridges: and smoking guy,

uh, who deals with intense bouts

266

00:11:16,385 --> 00:11:18,874

of depression can get himself fit.

267

00:11:19,635 --> 00:11:24,020

Maybe any of us can, um, You know, I'm

always looking for that inspiration and

268

00:11:24,060 --> 00:11:33,520

I think, you know, it, um, I've, uh, I've

enjoyed, um, kind of experimenting with

269

00:11:33,530 --> 00:11:39,809

different arts and, um, playing around

in different, uh, studios and academies.

270

00:11:39,810 --> 00:11:44,559

And that was one of the really

exciting things on Den of Thieves.

271

00:11:44,609 --> 00:11:48,420

Um, Which, by the way, the new one,

just so I do a little plugging here,

272

00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,950

uh, it comes out, uh, in January,

I think towards the end of January.

273

00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,220

The End of Thieves 2 Pantera.

274

00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,910

Look for it in your local Cinematheque.

275

00:11:58,350 --> 00:12:05,955

Um, but, uh, one of the, so Christian,

good guest, is also, um, martial

276

00:12:05,955 --> 00:12:07,625

arts enthusiast and practitioner.

277

00:12:07,625 --> 00:12:09,795

He's for years has been training.

278

00:12:10,235 --> 00:12:16,625

And so he populated the film with a lot

of real hardcore, uh, martial artists,

279

00:12:16,655 --> 00:12:20,545

uh, and stuntmen and, you know, people

who he had known over the years.

280

00:12:20,994 --> 00:12:25,395

And that was also really thrilling was I

got a chance to train with some of them.

281

00:12:25,965 --> 00:12:30,395

Um, on the second one, uh, which

was great, even though I didn't get

282

00:12:30,395 --> 00:12:31,805

to, I didn't get to play at all.

283

00:12:31,805 --> 00:12:33,034

I didn't get on screen.

284

00:12:33,035 --> 00:12:34,720

I didn't get to, uh, Mix it up.

285

00:12:35,170 --> 00:12:37,410

But, uh, yeah, just do a quick lookup.

286

00:12:37,410 --> 00:12:37,980

It's I think January

287

00:12:37,980 --> 00:12:38,490

Marc Preston: 10th.

288

00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:38,890

Okay.

289

00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:39,480

There we go.

290

00:12:39,510 --> 00:12:39,960

There we go.

291

00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:40,190

Thank you.

292

00:12:40,830 --> 00:12:44,180

But, but then again, also a lot of times

I'll look at a date and you know, my, you

293

00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:46,939

know, you know the way it works, you know,

I'll be, I'll be chatting in the schedule.

294

00:12:47,340 --> 00:12:47,580

You'll

295

00:12:48,250 --> 00:12:50,819

Jordan Bridges: think it's coming out

and then it doesn't get released or

296

00:12:50,819 --> 00:12:55,210

they'll, or they'll, you know, pop it on

a streamer before you never really know.

297

00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,400

Uh, but thank you for that correction.

298

00:12:57,410 --> 00:13:00,200

January 10th, hopefully

it's in a theater near you.

299

00:13:00,745 --> 00:13:02,065

I really enjoyed the first

300

00:13:02,065 --> 00:13:02,165

Marc Preston: one.

301

00:13:02,165 --> 00:13:03,255

It was a little bit different.

302

00:13:03,265 --> 00:13:07,815

You know, I, I, I like, uh, as far

as my, what I personally enjoy.

303

00:13:07,815 --> 00:13:11,405

I mean, I like all different kinds

of stuff, but it was, uh, but Gerard

304

00:13:11,405 --> 00:13:15,705

Butler, he's one of those guys who

just sort of, uh, especially with you.

305

00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,420

That, that whatever intensity he brought,

you had to be like, you're is almost like

306

00:13:21,420 --> 00:13:24,040

his, uh, more of a virtual punching bag.

307

00:13:24,060 --> 00:13:25,870

You know, he just, you know, it's

almost like he's taken out his

308

00:13:25,870 --> 00:13:29,040

frustrations, like really early

on in the, in the original film.

309

00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:29,669

Yeah.

310

00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:33,870

And, uh, it's just like he, he, so,

you know, he's the guy just, You know,

311

00:13:33,890 --> 00:13:36,820

it was just kind of like it, there was

a lot of testosterone in the first,

312

00:13:36,950 --> 00:13:40,330

in the first one, I gotta, I gotta

know without giving too much away.

313

00:13:40,330 --> 00:13:43,060

Did they kind of cut you loose a little

bit to, did, were you able to have any

314

00:13:43,060 --> 00:13:45,089

kind of physical stuff or was it still,

315

00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:50,630

Jordan Bridges: no, I sadly, as much

as I campaigned for it, uh, I, I didn't

316

00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:53,750

get to do any physical running around.

317

00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:54,800

Um, I.

318

00:13:55,095 --> 00:13:59,725

Again, I, I'm kind of a foil,

you know, to Jerry there.

319

00:13:59,815 --> 00:14:06,015

Um, but also like I, there's some, and

I'm not going to give away because I think

320

00:14:06,025 --> 00:14:10,444

that's part of what the fun of the, of

this film particularly is the plot and the

321

00:14:10,445 --> 00:14:15,634

things that they do, uh, within the plot

and the things that Christian crafted in

322

00:14:15,634 --> 00:14:17,455

the story, I think are really exciting.

323

00:14:17,495 --> 00:14:23,690

Um, so I don't want to give too much

away, but I factor in, um, Uh, the

324

00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:29,950

narrative and kind of how, um, Gerard

kind of continues to pursue O'Shea,

325

00:14:30,050 --> 00:14:35,690

um, uh, and, and kind of where he

ends up, I, I kind of play a role.

326

00:14:36,295 --> 00:14:41,485

And, um, you know, what brings

him into the story a little bit.

327

00:14:41,785 --> 00:14:41,945

Yeah,

328

00:14:41,945 --> 00:14:43,775

Marc Preston: O'Shea just,

he's, that's another guy.

329

00:14:43,785 --> 00:14:45,774

He's really just versatile,

especially the comedy.

330

00:14:45,775 --> 00:14:48,405

I think, I think he did something

with even Seth Rogen, I think,

331

00:14:48,504 --> 00:14:50,564

uh, for a short run series.

332

00:14:50,595 --> 00:14:52,345

I think he was with him.

333

00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,480

I'm really bad at remembering

sometimes, you know, I love,

334

00:14:55,860 --> 00:14:57,220

I'm consuming so much stuff.

335

00:14:57,220 --> 00:15:01,719

I'm like, you know, this age, Mike

memory, you know what I started doing?

336

00:15:01,839 --> 00:15:03,220

This is another one of those signs.

337

00:15:03,230 --> 00:15:04,759

Not, not of age necessarily.

338

00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,049

Everybody's talk, but everybody's

talking about these, uh,

339

00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:08,549

like this powdered mushroom.

340

00:15:08,549 --> 00:15:09,879

I think it was called

lion's mane or something.

341

00:15:10,109 --> 00:15:11,900

Oh, if you put that in your

coffee, it's supposed to help.

342

00:15:12,199 --> 00:15:13,340

And I'm like doing all my reading.

343

00:15:13,340 --> 00:15:14,360

I'm like going, I'm sitting here.

344

00:15:14,780 --> 00:15:17,670

Finding myself in this, you

know, this hole I've gone into on

345

00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:18,940

the internet, researching this.

346

00:15:19,450 --> 00:15:21,680

And, uh, so I'm like, Oh yeah,

that's supposed to help with

347

00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,870

the memory and recognition.

348

00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560

I'm like, am I really at that age

where I'm thinking about this stuff?

349

00:15:26,589 --> 00:15:28,369

You know, but I remember

350

00:15:28,370 --> 00:15:29,410

Jordan Bridges: like, I'm sorry.

351

00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,540

No, I just started to interrupt.

352

00:15:31,540 --> 00:15:36,460

But I think the earlier you start moving,

whether it's your, your physical body or

353

00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:41,205

your mind, uh, I think the earlier you

kind of jump on that stuff, the better.

354

00:15:41,265 --> 00:15:46,005

And you can, you, you know, getting

into good habits and I certainly

355

00:15:46,035 --> 00:15:48,954

think, um, you know, with, with.

356

00:15:49,215 --> 00:15:54,105

There's a lot of incredible,

uh, benefits to all kinds of,

357

00:15:54,105 --> 00:15:56,815

uh, fungi, as you might put it.

358

00:15:56,855 --> 00:16:03,514

Um, you know, that I think we think of it

as just, you know, mushrooms in a salad

359

00:16:03,514 --> 00:16:07,584

or whatever, but when you really kind of

get into the properties of whether it's

360

00:16:07,584 --> 00:16:11,085

reishi or, you know, Lines main, they're,

they're, they're pretty incredible.

361

00:16:11,245 --> 00:16:12,075

Uh, I just

362

00:16:12,085 --> 00:16:15,015

Marc Preston: got just within the last

couple of months, come online as far as

363

00:16:15,095 --> 00:16:17,325

kind of researching it a little bit more.

364

00:16:17,665 --> 00:16:18,324

I think it makes sense.

365

00:16:18,355 --> 00:16:21,715

You know, the more natural, you know,

the better if possible, you know, going

366

00:16:21,725 --> 00:16:24,245

back a little bit, origin story that

we're talking about before, you know,

367

00:16:24,245 --> 00:16:28,185

you grew up, you know, in the Valley

and, uh, different, different spots.

368

00:16:28,985 --> 00:16:32,395

Did we, uh, do you have any siblings

growing up or were you the only kid?

369

00:16:32,860 --> 00:16:37,700

Jordan Bridges: Um, I have, I have

siblings, um, but it's a, I, I, I

370

00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:42,669

like to kind of tell this riddle,

um, when I'm describing the makeup

371

00:16:42,669 --> 00:16:45,149

of my family and my dad's kids.

372

00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:50,340

Um, so the short answer is yes, I

have three brothers and a sister,

373

00:16:50,930 --> 00:16:56,180

and, um, they're all really wonderful

people and I love them all very much.

374

00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,995

But here's the riddle of my,

uh, Of my thing is that I am

375

00:17:00,995 --> 00:17:07,135

simultaneously a youngest child,

a middle child, and an only child.

376

00:17:07,375 --> 00:17:13,705

I am all those things at once, which

has been lots of, uh, hours of therapy.

377

00:17:15,495 --> 00:17:18,435

Just, you know, for those playing

at home, you know, pause and take a

378

00:17:18,435 --> 00:17:19,735

minute, see if you can figure it out.

379

00:17:19,985 --> 00:17:26,554

Um, but, uh, essentially, um, I'm

my mother's only biological child.

380

00:17:27,405 --> 00:17:29,885

My older brother, Casey, was the

381

00:17:36,439 --> 00:17:37,222

firstborn of the family.

382

00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:39,963

Um, but he was adopted, so he's always

the eldest, he's always the first.

383

00:17:39,963 --> 00:17:42,714

But, um, my mother didn't have

him the old fashioned way.

384

00:17:43,354 --> 00:17:50,125

Um, And then the, my two younger

brothers and my younger sister are

385

00:17:50,135 --> 00:17:56,614

the result of my father's second

marriage to my lovely, uh, extra mom.

386

00:17:56,614 --> 00:17:58,035

I like to call her Wendy.

387

00:17:58,215 --> 00:18:05,085

Um, who's, uh, just been such a wonderful

part of his life and all of our lives.

388

00:18:05,095 --> 00:18:12,985

So it's, it's this interesting kind of,

uh, Uh, way that, that they've done it

389

00:18:13,025 --> 00:18:17,825

and I feel grateful that I've, you know,

been involved in everyone's lives where

390

00:18:17,985 --> 00:18:21,505

we're kind of like a generation apart.

391

00:18:21,755 --> 00:18:22,924

Uh, really, really.

392

00:18:23,495 --> 00:18:29,575

And yeah, I mean my, for instance, my

youngest brother Ezekiel is closer in

393

00:18:29,575 --> 00:18:32,684

age to my daughter than he is to me.

394

00:18:32,785 --> 00:18:33,995

Yeah, that's, I've got the same kind of

395

00:18:33,995 --> 00:18:34,205

Marc Preston: deal.

396

00:18:34,245 --> 00:18:38,634

My father, uh, remarried, uh, they got

a, my, my technically my oldest has an

397

00:18:38,644 --> 00:18:40,364

aunt that's six months older than her.

398

00:18:40,410 --> 00:18:45,079

And then, and then because of the

glory of, uh, not 23 and me, but,

399

00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:49,229

uh, ancestry found out, uh, about

three years ago, I had a, uh, sister

400

00:18:49,229 --> 00:18:50,419

who's a few years younger than me.

401

00:18:50,719 --> 00:18:53,279

It was, you know, growing up as

an only kid, I was like, wouldn't

402

00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:54,609

it be cool to have siblings?

403

00:18:54,609 --> 00:18:55,909

And I got them in the most.

404

00:18:56,020 --> 00:18:58,359

non traditional way, if you will.

405

00:18:58,689 --> 00:18:59,469

And have you,

406

00:18:59,469 --> 00:19:02,259

Jordan Bridges: uh, have you since

developed a friendship or a relationship?

407

00:19:02,259 --> 00:19:02,549

Yeah.

408

00:19:02,549 --> 00:19:02,869

You know, we've

409

00:19:02,989 --> 00:19:06,469

Marc Preston: connected thanks to the,

thanks to the social medias, you know,

410

00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:09,459

able to connect, uh, but you know, we're

back home in Dallas, uh, you know, the

411

00:19:09,459 --> 00:19:13,279

kids and I, we, uh, we're there on a

vacation connected, uh, you know, real

412

00:19:13,279 --> 00:19:18,644

sweet, uh, It's, you know, she's, uh,

married, has three kids and you know,

413

00:19:18,644 --> 00:19:22,004

it's, it's, it's, it's kind of cool,

you know, life, uh, was, uh, you know,

414

00:19:22,034 --> 00:19:24,114

phrase, man plans, God laughs, you know?

415

00:19:24,114 --> 00:19:25,934

So it's like, I'm just going

to roll with it, you know?

416

00:19:25,984 --> 00:19:30,224

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, I think it's like,

and you know, I think the more love that

417

00:19:30,224 --> 00:19:31,954

you can have in your life, the better.

418

00:19:31,954 --> 00:19:34,494

And that's, that's kind

of how I look at it.

419

00:19:34,544 --> 00:19:38,324

I've been, uh, really, you

know, it's, what's interesting

420

00:19:38,324 --> 00:19:41,244

is, so I had a lot of anxiety.

421

00:19:41,265 --> 00:19:48,084

Uh, and when I was starting my, my family

with my, my wife, Carrie and my daughter,

422

00:19:48,304 --> 00:19:54,084

Caroline and my son Orson, um, because

I had always been a part of this big

423

00:19:54,094 --> 00:19:57,144

family, you know, holidays and everything.

424

00:19:57,144 --> 00:20:01,224

I, it was like, so wonderful to be a,

feel like I was a part of this big thing,

425

00:20:02,194 --> 00:20:08,414

but because in my generation, I was on

the vanguard of the procreating track.

426

00:20:08,614 --> 00:20:12,274

Um, so I was the first one in our whole.

427

00:20:12,439 --> 00:20:17,509

of all the grandchildren, um,

to, you know, start a family.

428

00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:22,589

And so my kids, like for years,

at least on our side, you know,

429

00:20:22,589 --> 00:20:26,459

my side of the family, all of

they didn't have any cousins yet.

430

00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:30,899

It took like, you know, 15 years,

I think, before their their first

431

00:20:30,899 --> 00:20:32,649

cousin on that side came around.

432

00:20:34,639 --> 00:20:37,799

So I had I had some anxiety that

they weren't going to have that

433

00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:43,579

experience of being A part of a

big family in the way that I was,

434

00:20:43,579 --> 00:20:46,849

Marc Preston: yeah, I think, I think it's

the even even if people are, you know,

435

00:20:47,019 --> 00:20:50,639

families being families, there's, you

know, there was always family stuff, but

436

00:20:50,679 --> 00:20:53,229

it's always nice to, you know, like for

instance, you know, where I live here

437

00:20:53,229 --> 00:20:54,649

on the Island, I came here for a year.

438

00:20:54,649 --> 00:20:56,989

I mean, ever since I

was like seven, seven.

439

00:20:56,989 --> 00:20:57,239

Yeah.

440

00:20:57,569 --> 00:20:59,769

And for, for many, many,

many, many, many years.

441

00:20:59,779 --> 00:21:01,059

So all the family would get together.

442

00:21:01,059 --> 00:21:04,909

And I had this epiphany the other day of

the elder bunch, the generation ahead,

443

00:21:04,909 --> 00:21:06,639

there's only one person left, you know?

444

00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,204

Um, And it's when they kind of pass

on and, uh, there's not as many,

445

00:21:10,204 --> 00:21:13,494

you know, we have a relatively small

family, so it all kind of funneled down.

446

00:21:13,494 --> 00:21:17,134

I had the same kind of thing you did

thinking there's so much fun there.

447

00:21:17,134 --> 00:21:18,144

There, there are stories.

448

00:21:18,144 --> 00:21:21,104

There's, uh, just

experiences you get to have.

449

00:21:21,414 --> 00:21:23,964

Um, I've got three kids, you

know, so I'm, I'm going to

450

00:21:23,974 --> 00:21:25,334

live vicariously through them.

451

00:21:25,334 --> 00:21:28,814

I, you know, hopefully not too

soon, but when they, when they

452

00:21:28,814 --> 00:21:30,084

eventually start their families, how

453

00:21:30,084 --> 00:21:31,714

Jordan Bridges: old are your,

uh, how old your boy and girl?

454

00:21:32,139 --> 00:21:36,159

Uh, my, my girl is 21 and my boy is 19.

455

00:21:36,519 --> 00:21:37,209

Um, really?

456

00:21:37,269 --> 00:21:37,779

Okay.

457

00:21:37,779 --> 00:21:38,049

What did, wait,

458

00:21:38,979 --> 00:21:39,189

Marc Preston: what?

459

00:21:39,579 --> 00:21:40,419

So you had a daughter.

460

00:21:40,419 --> 00:21:42,909

This, uh, you have a 2003 kid as well?

461

00:21:43,179 --> 00:21:43,749

Yeah.

462

00:21:43,959 --> 00:21:44,409

Wow.

463

00:21:44,409 --> 00:21:44,499

Yeah.

464

00:21:44,499 --> 00:21:45,789

So you and I were born in 73.

465

00:21:45,789 --> 00:21:46,659

We both had kids at three.

466

00:21:46,659 --> 00:21:46,869

See?

467

00:21:47,019 --> 00:21:47,409

Um, they, yeah,

468

00:21:47,859 --> 00:21:49,479

Jordan Bridges: similar life paths.

469

00:21:49,539 --> 00:21:53,019

Um, but going back to the

family, I think it's interesting

470

00:21:53,019 --> 00:21:55,199

how there is this sort of.

471

00:21:56,249 --> 00:22:00,929

breath action with the way that families

are structured, where they kind of reach

472

00:22:00,929 --> 00:22:05,499

this point where they're so big that you

can't contain everybody in one space.

473

00:22:05,989 --> 00:22:09,459

And then they break off and

it kind of contracts and get

474

00:22:09,469 --> 00:22:11,060

smaller and smaller and smaller.

475

00:22:11,569 --> 00:22:14,449

And then, you know, it sort

of keeps going like that.

476

00:22:14,469 --> 00:22:21,824

I remember because sort of like my kids, I

was also, You know, my brother and I were

477

00:22:21,824 --> 00:22:24,994

the first grandchildren in our family.

478

00:22:25,554 --> 00:22:29,914

And the first couple of Christmases,

we were still having Christmas

479

00:22:29,914 --> 00:22:36,294

with my grandmother's family,

like her brothers and his kids.

480

00:22:36,414 --> 00:22:41,374

Um, and so that for a little while,

like that was our sort of unit.

481

00:22:41,454 --> 00:22:45,864

And I grew up around those cousins and

stuff, but then eventually, because

482

00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:50,954

they're also a really big family that they

got, we all got so big that we couldn't.

483

00:22:51,934 --> 00:22:52,994

It was just impossible.

484

00:22:52,994 --> 00:22:56,494

It just wasn't, you know, logistically

possible for everyone to be in

485

00:22:56,494 --> 00:22:58,504

one house during the holidays.

486

00:22:58,514 --> 00:22:59,344

So that broke off.

487

00:22:59,384 --> 00:23:02,404

And now that's kind of where we're at.

488

00:23:03,234 --> 00:23:10,964

Uh, now is like, you know, Jeff's

family is having their thing and my

489

00:23:10,964 --> 00:23:12,824

dad's family is having his thing.

490

00:23:12,834 --> 00:23:17,024

And so it's, we're all kind of, which is

sad because Well did y'all grow up near

491

00:23:17,024 --> 00:23:17,554

Marc Preston: each other at

492

00:23:17,554 --> 00:23:17,794

Jordan Bridges: all?

493

00:23:17,834 --> 00:23:18,314

We did.

494

00:23:18,314 --> 00:23:18,664

Yeah.

495

00:23:18,665 --> 00:23:18,751

Yeah.

496

00:23:18,751 --> 00:23:18,838

Yeah.

497

00:23:18,838 --> 00:23:18,924

Yeah.

498

00:23:19,874 --> 00:23:23,404

Yeah, we're, I mean, they're

up a couple hours North.

499

00:23:23,404 --> 00:23:26,344

Jeff and Sue, my aunt and uncle

are up a little bit North.

500

00:23:26,364 --> 00:23:32,344

My aunt Cindy, uh, is all, has always

been around in, in LA somewhere.

501

00:23:32,794 --> 00:23:35,574

Um, I'm very close with her kids too.

502

00:23:35,734 --> 00:23:40,244

Um, and it was kind of like,

you know, you used to rely.

503

00:23:41,339 --> 00:23:44,429

Even if you can't hang out with them

during the year, you always knew, okay,

504

00:23:44,429 --> 00:23:49,989

I'll get to see them on Thanksgiving or

Christmas, but now that, you know, you

505

00:23:49,989 --> 00:23:51,269

don't, you can't really rely on that.

506

00:23:51,269 --> 00:23:56,019

So it becomes about trying to

create an intentional space.

507

00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:57,209

To share time.

508

00:23:57,210 --> 00:23:58,699

Marc Preston: It's funny.

509

00:23:58,699 --> 00:24:00,039

You had that same contemplation.

510

00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:02,459

I did, you know, the kind of

the expansion of contraction.

511

00:24:02,459 --> 00:24:06,329

And, you know, you look at a family tree

and kind of how it goes and you'd kind

512

00:24:06,329 --> 00:24:09,989

of look at how you grew up and what you

want to carry forward in some things.

513

00:24:09,989 --> 00:24:12,039

Maybe you don't want it

when it comes to your kids.

514

00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:12,959

Um,

515

00:24:13,019 --> 00:24:15,079

Jordan Bridges: and then

inevitably you do though, right?

516

00:24:15,089 --> 00:24:19,249

That's a, that's the part of the,

the bugger of that one is that.

517

00:24:19,919 --> 00:24:22,729

You know, you can have

all the best intentions.

518

00:24:22,729 --> 00:24:25,489

I'm, I'm not going to make

any of the same mistakes.

519

00:24:25,489 --> 00:24:28,819

I'm going to, you know, I'm, I'm

going to do everything right.

520

00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,589

Marc Preston: Again,

man plans, God laughs.

521

00:24:32,589 --> 00:24:32,759

Yeah.

522

00:24:33,329 --> 00:24:33,869

Jordan Bridges: Well, yeah.

523

00:24:33,869 --> 00:24:38,509

And it's like the, I think of, uh,

there's that new movie right now.

524

00:24:38,509 --> 00:24:39,039

What is it called?

525

00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:39,579

The return?

526

00:24:39,579 --> 00:24:43,799

I think of Oedipus and you

know, how he kind of knew he had

527

00:24:43,829 --> 00:24:45,539

all of this had been foretold.

528

00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,869

And, uh, and yet And he, he's like,

okay, I'm just going to go away.

529

00:24:50,869 --> 00:24:52,589

So that none of that happens.

530

00:24:52,629 --> 00:24:55,889

None of the things that are fated

to happen to me are going to happen.

531

00:24:55,889 --> 00:24:57,309

I'll just stay away from home.

532

00:24:57,539 --> 00:25:00,369

And then inevitably it all happens anyway.

533

00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:08,709

Marc Preston: Yeah,

that's, it's kind of nice.

534

00:25:08,709 --> 00:25:10,649

It's got, I feel like we're

of a similar tribe of.

535

00:25:10,829 --> 00:25:15,689

You know, generationally and you know,

stuff to kind of have that kind of same

536

00:25:15,689 --> 00:25:19,939

kind of perspective, you know, growing

up in the, uh, eighties, you know, it's

537

00:25:20,379 --> 00:25:23,739

when everything just seemed, I don't

know, maybe it was just the way I grew

538

00:25:23,739 --> 00:25:25,009

up with the people I grew up around.

539

00:25:25,019 --> 00:25:28,459

That was sort of the, let's say

divorces were kind of, you know, latch

540

00:25:28,459 --> 00:25:29,659

key kid and all that was going on.

541

00:25:29,659 --> 00:25:34,569

So, you know, You had to kind of learn

to adapt at a younger age to flux, you

542

00:25:34,569 --> 00:25:38,479

know, so you get older, maybe you want a

little less of that flux, you know, you,

543

00:25:38,479 --> 00:25:42,059

you, you know how to surf the wave, but

you kind of would like a little bit less

544

00:25:42,059 --> 00:25:45,559

of the tumultuousness, you know, I don't

know if that makes any sense at all.

545

00:25:45,569 --> 00:25:45,589

The

546

00:25:45,589 --> 00:25:46,069

Jordan Bridges: chaos.

547

00:25:46,809 --> 00:25:51,659

Well, and how did, how did your, uh,

were your kids in, uh, in school in the

548

00:25:51,659 --> 00:25:55,369

midst of the pandemic and dealing with,

you know, that's such a, how did they do?

549

00:25:55,369 --> 00:25:55,469

It's

550

00:25:55,469 --> 00:25:56,929

Marc Preston: an interesting

contemplation right there.

551

00:25:56,929 --> 00:25:57,139

Yeah.

552

00:25:57,139 --> 00:26:00,869

Because they were, uh, in, in, in

the, they were in school and then

553

00:26:00,869 --> 00:26:04,399

they went online, which was kind of,

it's, I mean, you have the kids, you

554

00:26:04,399 --> 00:26:08,489

said your son's 19, you say, yeah,

my, my, my youngest just turned 19.

555

00:26:08,489 --> 00:26:13,109

My son, my two girls at 21, 19, my

daughter, uh, my son is, uh, 20.

556

00:26:13,559 --> 00:26:17,789

Um, and so they, great.

557

00:26:17,789 --> 00:26:19,399

They're luckily they're smarter than I am.

558

00:26:19,399 --> 00:26:22,549

They thrived in the

online school situation.

559

00:26:22,979 --> 00:26:26,919

Uh, the youngest one, Emma, she, she

kind of like preferred that, you know,

560

00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:29,419

she's a lot like me give her a task.

561

00:26:29,429 --> 00:26:30,329

She's going to figure it out.

562

00:26:30,339 --> 00:26:33,399

Like, you know, she's not one of those

kids, you know, screwing around, but

563

00:26:33,399 --> 00:26:37,849

she wasn't really, The socialization

thing, it kind of hit right at that

564

00:26:37,849 --> 00:26:41,819

right time, I guess of adolescence

for her, where she, or, or, you

565

00:26:41,819 --> 00:26:45,129

know, as a teen, she, she, they were,

they were in a small private school.

566

00:26:45,129 --> 00:26:47,919

So, you know, it was an

interesting way to surf.

567

00:26:47,919 --> 00:26:50,129

I will say that, you know, trying

to figure out socially, you

568

00:26:50,129 --> 00:26:52,204

know, what's best for them, but.

569

00:26:52,254 --> 00:26:53,864

She's thriving, not being in school.

570

00:26:53,864 --> 00:26:55,974

So yeah, that was, uh,

that was interesting.

571

00:26:56,394 --> 00:26:59,594

It was a lot smoother because I

work from home out of my studio.

572

00:26:59,914 --> 00:27:04,084

So, you know, I think that probably

buffered things a little bit, you know,

573

00:27:04,084 --> 00:27:08,254

and as a single dad, I, it, it worked

out, it worked out and she, I mean, all

574

00:27:08,254 --> 00:27:12,274

three of them, like my, my 21 year olds

graduating and a few days here, you

575

00:27:12,314 --> 00:27:16,564

know, she's graduating, uh, you know, uh,

look, you know, about half a year early.

576

00:27:16,924 --> 00:27:21,949

And, uh, it's weird, man, having kids

20, I mean, um, You, you got this 21 year

577

00:27:21,949 --> 00:27:22,229

Jordan Bridges: old.

578

00:27:23,089 --> 00:27:26,579

Well, the, I think I call

it kind of unparenting.

579

00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:30,219

Um, cause you're still parenting, right?

580

00:27:30,259 --> 00:27:36,439

You're it's, I had, when I first became

a parent, when my daughter was born, I

581

00:27:36,439 --> 00:27:40,739

had a veteran parent, I was talking to

a veteran parent and I kind of jokingly

582

00:27:41,059 --> 00:27:43,709

sort of half jokingly said, yep, 18 years.

583

00:27:43,709 --> 00:27:47,879

And I'm out, you know, I've got, I've

got to put in my 18 years and then I can

584

00:27:47,879 --> 00:27:50,639

relax and, and they were like, Oh no.

585

00:27:51,384 --> 00:27:52,954

It's the rest of your life.

586

00:27:52,964 --> 00:27:53,504

Oh yeah.

587

00:27:53,504 --> 00:27:54,294

Life sentence.

588

00:27:54,354 --> 00:27:55,774

Marc Preston: Which it

doesn't really feel like that.

589

00:27:55,814 --> 00:27:58,264

You have some aspect of you

look at how you grow up.

590

00:27:58,294 --> 00:28:01,374

Like you're still asking, you're

still seeking some advice or

591

00:28:01,384 --> 00:28:03,664

guidance or wisdom or whatever.

592

00:28:03,684 --> 00:28:05,514

But the worrying never stops.

593

00:28:05,554 --> 00:28:06,764

That's the thing they don't tell you.

594

00:28:06,764 --> 00:28:07,584

You know, it's like that.

595

00:28:07,884 --> 00:28:08,534

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

596

00:28:08,854 --> 00:28:13,054

The, and, and, um, Yeah,

it's the rest of your life.

597

00:28:13,084 --> 00:28:16,814

And then it where I'm at now, though,

because, you know, when you first

598

00:28:16,824 --> 00:28:22,674

bring this creature home, uh, you know,

that's literally like depending on you

599

00:28:22,684 --> 00:28:28,384

to, you know, to survive, you know, if

you did not care for this, this little

600

00:28:28,394 --> 00:28:34,234

being, um, they would, you know, So

you have to keep them alive, literally.

601

00:28:34,594 --> 00:28:40,374

And then it's about, uh, nourishing

them, you know, their mind and, and,

602

00:28:40,424 --> 00:28:45,324

and, uh, you know, helping to sort of

guide them through life and all of that.

603

00:28:46,014 --> 00:28:50,934

And now at this point, it's, it, it,

I'm having to very kind of willfully

604

00:28:50,974 --> 00:28:57,974

on like untie myself from being

involved in every aspect of life.

605

00:28:58,540 --> 00:28:59,839

Hard though.

606

00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:02,209

Marc Preston: It's like you,

you, it's so hard because you

607

00:29:02,249 --> 00:29:03,809

want them to know you're there.

608

00:29:03,969 --> 00:29:06,639

It's just, you're wanting to, you're

wanting, it's kind of like, you

609

00:29:06,639 --> 00:29:09,899

know, learning to fly, you want them

to go, okay, I'm here, but you're

610

00:29:09,899 --> 00:29:13,439

going to be soloing soon by yourself,

but when you land, I'm still here,

611

00:29:13,509 --> 00:29:15,979

you know, still here to, you know,

but it's, but it's still just,

612

00:29:16,199 --> 00:29:17,060

Jordan Bridges: I'm here.

613

00:29:17,695 --> 00:29:21,865

But how about the thing of like

letting them make their own mistakes?

614

00:29:21,925 --> 00:29:24,615

I'm dealing, I'm dealing with that

right now with my 19 year old.

615

00:29:24,625 --> 00:29:28,935

Yeah, I mean that, that

is so fucking hard.

616

00:29:28,935 --> 00:29:32,945

I, because you, you, you,

you know, this is your life.

617

00:29:32,954 --> 00:29:38,379

This is your, uh, you know,

so much is, is wrapped up.

618

00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:40,220

individuals.

619

00:29:40,220 --> 00:29:42,600

You, you've dedicated so much to them.

620

00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,420

You want to see them, you know, soar

and, and live up to their potential

621

00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:50,059

and all of those wonderful things.

622

00:29:50,460 --> 00:29:56,870

And, um, and so the, for me, The

instinct, when, when stuff goes swirly,

623

00:29:57,350 --> 00:30:01,110

uh, I want to get in there and, you

know, write the ship and make everything

624

00:30:01,110 --> 00:30:03,320

great and, you know, fix it for them.

625

00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,170

So did your dad ever

626

00:30:04,170 --> 00:30:06,410

Marc Preston: give a, you know, when,

as the kids are getting a little bit

627

00:30:06,410 --> 00:30:09,745

older and they're now, you know, they're

teenagers, did your dad kind of Do

628

00:30:09,745 --> 00:30:12,395

you ever, do you ever have moments

where you, where you sit down and he

629

00:30:12,395 --> 00:30:16,535

does kind of drop bits of wisdom, you

know, contemplations, thoughts about

630

00:30:16,565 --> 00:30:20,884

the, uh, parenting thing that you've

been able to apply, or is this, you

631

00:30:20,884 --> 00:30:22,185

know, or is this kind of a, kind of, Oh

632

00:30:22,495 --> 00:30:23,024

Jordan Bridges: yeah, no.

633

00:30:23,055 --> 00:30:25,174

I mean, the quick answer is yes.

634

00:30:25,185 --> 00:30:27,414

I mean, I, all the time

it's still happening.

635

00:30:27,545 --> 00:30:34,615

Um, I'm still, uh, you know,

learning, uh, at his feet, um,

636

00:30:34,675 --> 00:30:36,585

in so many aspects of life.

637

00:30:36,725 --> 00:30:44,130

Um, and, uh, You know, a lot of

times it's just that his answer is,

638

00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:49,880

you know, is, is that you just have

to love and, uh, and be present.

639

00:30:50,340 --> 00:30:52,020

So you're there if they need you.

640

00:30:52,650 --> 00:31:01,129

Um, you know, I definitely felt with

him that sometimes he didn't agree

641

00:31:01,129 --> 00:31:08,425

with the path I was on, you know, um,

or was concerned, um, But the times

642

00:31:08,425 --> 00:31:12,985

when I feel most grateful to him in

terms of his sort of parenting are

643

00:31:12,985 --> 00:31:19,254

when he, you know, I, I may have been

ambivalent about a, a direction to go.

644

00:31:20,015 --> 00:31:27,505

Um, and he basically put some energy

into, Into that and said, no, no,

645

00:31:27,505 --> 00:31:28,975

you, you got to do this thing.

646

00:31:29,135 --> 00:31:35,695

Uh, uh, I think about, um, I had

a great experience in high school.

647

00:31:35,695 --> 00:31:38,835

I went to the California state

summer school for the arts.

648

00:31:38,835 --> 00:31:40,845

It was, it's still a program.

649

00:31:40,845 --> 00:31:41,865

I think it's still running.

650

00:31:41,935 --> 00:31:45,154

Um, it's a state program, so.

651

00:31:45,700 --> 00:31:51,540

It, you know, people from all different

income levels and, you know, apply

652

00:31:51,550 --> 00:31:54,830

and the faculty is really amazing.

653

00:31:55,620 --> 00:32:01,620

And he had been invited to participate

at a fundraiser for them or something.

654

00:32:01,620 --> 00:32:03,550

And so he just kind of

became conscious of it.

655

00:32:04,310 --> 00:32:06,690

And I was kind of floundering at the time.

656

00:32:06,690 --> 00:32:08,400

And he said, I think

you should look at this.

657

00:32:09,070 --> 00:32:10,250

And I was like, okay.

658

00:32:10,540 --> 00:32:11,730

And he just kept on talking.

659

00:32:12,545 --> 00:32:14,195

you know, kind of pestering me about it.

660

00:32:14,655 --> 00:32:19,075

And I eventually did go and it was one of

the greatest experiences I've ever had.

661

00:32:19,145 --> 00:32:24,285

And had he not given me that

little push, I probably wouldn't

662

00:32:24,285 --> 00:32:25,234

have had that experience.

663

00:32:25,264 --> 00:32:26,524

So that's something I tried.

664

00:32:26,524 --> 00:32:30,754

Marc Preston: The path as far as,

uh, guidance and encouragement or

665

00:32:30,754 --> 00:32:33,785

maybe not encouragement, you know,

when it came to the acting thing

666

00:32:33,785 --> 00:32:35,955

and entertainment, because, you

know, we were talking about multi

667

00:32:36,035 --> 00:32:38,225

generations that, They know this thing.

668

00:32:38,225 --> 00:32:43,175

And, and was it like, do your, was, was

it, was it encouraged or was like, okay,

669

00:32:43,205 --> 00:32:44,785

follow whatever path you want here?

670

00:32:45,545 --> 00:32:48,925

Jordan Bridges: Well, it was

encouraged, uh, in the sense that

671

00:32:49,555 --> 00:32:54,425

the kind of tradition in our family,

you know, we really kind of, it

672

00:32:54,425 --> 00:32:57,985

was set by my grandparents largely.

673

00:32:58,565 --> 00:33:05,235

Um, and I think it was, it was, uh,

an extension of their love of the work

674

00:33:05,315 --> 00:33:07,055

and they just wanted to share that.

675

00:33:07,340 --> 00:33:08,440

with their kids.

676

00:33:08,610 --> 00:33:15,080

Um, and so, you know, my, my

grandfather wanted to include them.

677

00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:21,599

It wasn't out of any ambition for

legacy or dynasty or anything like that.

678

00:33:21,609 --> 00:33:25,430

He just, both he and my

grandmother just loved the art

679

00:33:25,430 --> 00:33:27,429

and, and loved the craft of it.

680

00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,680

And so they wanted to

share that with their kids.

681

00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:35,659

And, you know, he, at the time when

they were young, he was in a position

682

00:33:35,659 --> 00:33:37,440

where he could kind of throw them in.

683

00:33:37,939 --> 00:33:44,425

Um, And so both, uh, Jeff, my dad,

and my aunt Cindy all, all had kind

684

00:33:44,425 --> 00:33:46,255

of opportunities to explore it.

685

00:33:46,365 --> 00:33:54,964

Um, and, um, there was never, I, I don't,

and, you know, you'll have to ask them,

686

00:33:54,964 --> 00:34:00,684

but my perception of it is that none of

them ever felt any particular pressure.

687

00:34:01,065 --> 00:34:04,215

To do it or felt like they were, right.

688

00:34:04,885 --> 00:34:07,285

Marc Preston: Well, I do kind of

see from where they're coming from,

689

00:34:07,285 --> 00:34:08,365

or the way you're explaining it.

690

00:34:08,755 --> 00:34:11,864

Isn't it fun to kind of do this

thing with your, if you can, it's,

691

00:34:11,875 --> 00:34:13,534

it's just another family experience.

692

00:34:13,534 --> 00:34:14,565

If you would, you know,

693

00:34:14,995 --> 00:34:18,314

Jordan Bridges: as my dad puts it, it's

like going to work in your dad's shop.

694

00:34:18,374 --> 00:34:23,225

You know, if your dad was a tailor, you

know, you would, your, your first job

695

00:34:23,225 --> 00:34:28,625

would probably be, you know, measuring

coats or whatever, you know, or Dealing

696

00:34:28,625 --> 00:34:32,575

with the scraps or, you know, that,

that's your, generally our first work

697

00:34:32,575 --> 00:34:36,805

experience, you know, I think for a lot

of people is around whatever their parents

698

00:34:36,805 --> 00:34:40,225

do, or if you're, if you're a farmer,

you're going to be working on the farm.

699

00:34:40,695 --> 00:34:45,335

Um, and so that's very much

the kind of mentality that my

700

00:34:45,335 --> 00:34:47,535

dad continued with all of us.

701

00:34:48,295 --> 00:34:55,385

And so all of his, each of us, you know,

were thrown in the water very early

702

00:34:55,385 --> 00:34:58,175

on, uh, you know, to the point where.

703

00:34:58,670 --> 00:35:03,380

I think everyone could have been Union,

all my siblings, and some of them, and

704

00:35:03,380 --> 00:35:09,449

my sister, Emily, is still very much

actively, uh, has a career as an actor,

705

00:35:09,499 --> 00:35:18,209

as does my brother, uh, Zeke, Ezekiel,

um, but then, uh, Dylan and Casey,

706

00:35:18,870 --> 00:35:26,325

uh, went different ways, um, my older

brother, Casey, uh, has, uh, had a very

707

00:35:26,325 --> 00:35:31,345

interesting life and traveled all around

the world and now he's coaching soccer.

708

00:35:31,855 --> 00:35:36,155

Um, but he was for a

while, he was a cameraman.

709

00:35:36,155 --> 00:35:40,215

He worked camera crew department,

but As a kid, he had, you know,

710

00:35:40,235 --> 00:35:41,805

he had been put in there as well.

711

00:35:41,885 --> 00:35:44,095

And you know, that could

have been a path for him.

712

00:35:44,925 --> 00:35:47,595

Uh, just did he chose not to go there?

713

00:35:47,655 --> 00:35:48,875

Um, what about your kids?

714

00:35:48,875 --> 00:35:52,314

Are you, are you looking at them

and, uh, are both of them the

715

00:35:52,314 --> 00:35:52,865

Marc Preston: same thing?

716

00:35:53,025 --> 00:35:54,785

Jordan Bridges: I kind

of did the same thing.

717

00:35:54,804 --> 00:36:00,145

Um, it, well, and I, I can, I'll

get into that, but I first want to

718

00:36:00,155 --> 00:36:03,865

start by, cause I, the answer to the

question is like when I was young,

719

00:36:04,755 --> 00:36:08,595

um, when I was a kid, um, I mean, I.

720

00:36:09,180 --> 00:36:14,430

My dad, he had started directing

a bit, um, in the eighties.

721

00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:19,270

And so he would sort of throw us in

these projects that he was directing.

722

00:36:20,429 --> 00:36:26,440

And, um, one of them came along

that was kind of a big deal.

723

00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,779

It was a, uh, movie of the

week that Disney put out.

724

00:36:31,470 --> 00:36:35,520

Um, uh, big kind of holiday special.

725

00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,050

And he cast me in the lead.

726

00:36:38,959 --> 00:36:42,560

Uh, and it was also my grandfather

was in, my grandmother was in it.

727

00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,449

Jeff had a little cameo,

like everyone was in it.

728

00:36:46,180 --> 00:36:48,959

Um, and that experience.

729

00:36:49,644 --> 00:36:55,004

made me kind of not want to do

it because I had to audition

730

00:36:55,394 --> 00:36:57,424

six times to win this role.

731

00:36:57,684 --> 00:37:00,424

They were going to give it

to another actor for a while.

732

00:37:01,014 --> 00:37:06,524

Uh, and just the whole, like, just all

of the weird trauma in this business

733

00:37:06,544 --> 00:37:09,194

that can happen was kind of very present.

734

00:37:09,224 --> 00:37:11,834

Thankfully, I was with my family.

735

00:37:11,834 --> 00:37:13,484

So that part of it was great.

736

00:37:14,094 --> 00:37:18,794

Um, and the work itself, I,

you know, there was a great

737

00:37:18,794 --> 00:37:21,024

cast in addition to our family.

738

00:37:21,024 --> 00:37:25,694

There was really, you know, a lot,

a lot of great actors were in it.

739

00:37:25,734 --> 00:37:27,594

Um, but.

740

00:37:28,354 --> 00:37:34,914

I, just the business side of it, being

a part of, you know, this crazy Disney

741

00:37:34,914 --> 00:37:38,424

machine, it was all too much for me.

742

00:37:38,494 --> 00:37:43,765

Um, and so after that, I kind

of withdrew from it for a while.

743

00:37:44,444 --> 00:37:49,824

And, and then my dad's, his, this is the

advice that I always kind of pass on to

744

00:37:49,954 --> 00:37:52,424

people who are contemplating a career.

745

00:37:53,279 --> 00:37:55,949

Is you gotta love it.

746

00:37:56,619 --> 00:37:58,379

You gotta love doing it.

747

00:37:58,619 --> 00:38:03,189

If, if you don't love the work

itself, if it's not something that

748

00:38:03,679 --> 00:38:08,299

inspires you or excites you, or

that you have some passion for.

749

00:38:08,934 --> 00:38:15,984

If the, then find something else to

do, um, because the, the things that

750

00:38:15,984 --> 00:38:23,214

you have to deal with and in rejection

and uncertainty and also like, you

751

00:38:23,214 --> 00:38:27,574

know, when a, when a job comes up, you

pretty much have to drop everything.

752

00:38:27,584 --> 00:38:32,524

You can't say like, oh, my wife's about

to have a baby or, you know, yeah.

753

00:38:33,144 --> 00:38:39,754

or my, you know, my father is,

you know, whatever you, you, you

754

00:38:39,794 --> 00:38:44,814

can't, you can't let all of the

things of life that normally people

755

00:38:44,814 --> 00:38:46,294

can kind of take time out for.

756

00:38:46,534 --> 00:38:48,524

You have to pretty much put them aside.

757

00:38:49,094 --> 00:38:54,554

Um, especially, and, you know,

particularly if you're like my, uh,

758

00:38:54,554 --> 00:38:59,384

you know, I've carved out this place

in the business for, for myself.

759

00:39:00,554 --> 00:39:03,844

And it's, it's interesting because I'm

kind of manifesting something that.

760

00:39:05,344 --> 00:39:13,224

Set early on I've always admired the

actors who you're like, oh that guy Oh

761

00:39:13,224 --> 00:39:16,734

that, you know, you kind of keep seeing

them and you really appreciate the work,

762

00:39:16,974 --> 00:39:23,874

but you don't know their name necessarily

And because I had seen What fame can do

763

00:39:24,174 --> 00:39:29,584

to people, you know, peers of mine and

to, and to my family and been around it.

764

00:39:29,884 --> 00:39:32,114

And it always made me feel

uncomfortable and weird.

765

00:39:32,114 --> 00:39:33,254

And I never wanted that.

766

00:39:33,734 --> 00:39:37,564

Um, and I kinda kicked myself now

cause I, you know, a little bit

767

00:39:37,564 --> 00:39:41,854

more fame would have been giving

me better leverage in the business.

768

00:39:43,944 --> 00:39:46,954

But I, that's kind of what I've, I

769

00:39:46,954 --> 00:39:49,304

Marc Preston: think what you're

describing is what the backbone

770

00:39:49,304 --> 00:39:50,704

of the industry in Hollywood is.

771

00:39:50,704 --> 00:39:53,164

It's, it's all the people who show

up, you may or may not know their

772

00:39:53,164 --> 00:39:56,184

name, but they show up and you're

like, okay, this is going to be a

773

00:39:56,184 --> 00:39:57,474

good scene, or I'm going to enjoy it.

774

00:39:57,514 --> 00:39:57,854

You know?

775

00:39:57,864 --> 00:39:58,264

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

776

00:39:58,424 --> 00:39:58,754

Yeah.

777

00:39:58,774 --> 00:40:00,964

They elevate everything that they're in.

778

00:40:01,414 --> 00:40:06,144

And so that, but that thing from

my dad was like with, and also my

779

00:40:06,144 --> 00:40:10,379

grandfather, I think espouse this

as well, is that you got to love it.

780

00:40:10,899 --> 00:40:13,319

You got to be able to work really hard.

781

00:40:13,539 --> 00:40:17,439

Um, and you got to be respectful,

you know, to the other,

782

00:40:17,499 --> 00:40:19,289

everyone in, in this business.

783

00:40:19,369 --> 00:40:25,139

Um, uh, that's, those were the kind

of things that I got from them.

784

00:40:25,449 --> 00:40:27,609

And so I kind of passed

that on to my kids.

785

00:40:27,999 --> 00:40:32,989

Each of them, you know, Is eligible

at this point to join the union.

786

00:40:33,019 --> 00:40:34,779

They've, they've both done some work.

787

00:40:35,259 --> 00:40:40,709

Um, they seem to be

taking different paths.

788

00:40:40,709 --> 00:40:42,889

I think it's, it's still there.

789

00:40:43,039 --> 00:40:45,169

The opportunity is still

there if they want it.

790

00:40:45,189 --> 00:40:47,169

I think they both have talent.

791

00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:49,929

Uh, they both have shown talent.

792

00:40:50,169 --> 00:40:51,979

Uh, but.

793

00:40:52,909 --> 00:40:56,849

It's also, I don't know, it's interesting,

this, and I don't, tell me if, this

794

00:40:56,849 --> 00:41:00,879

might just be my kids, but I, I feel

like it's a generational thing with them.

795

00:41:02,379 --> 00:41:07,439

It's sort of like, ambition

is not really cool.

796

00:41:08,259 --> 00:41:14,039

Like, they're, like, I don't, there's

something with them where, uh, they

797

00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:20,714

kind of, you know, Things have to

happen organically, or I don't know.

798

00:41:20,804 --> 00:41:24,254

There's, and maybe it's, again,

maybe it is just my kids, but,

799

00:41:24,284 --> 00:41:26,414

Marc Preston: well, no, I, I, you know

what I think is you don't want to, you

800

00:41:26,414 --> 00:41:29,924

don't want to be, you know, like you

gotta make a mind now what you want to do.

801

00:41:29,924 --> 00:41:32,744

You don't want to, but at the same time,

it's like, be moving in a direction.

802

00:41:32,744 --> 00:41:35,704

Have some, have some

momentum going somewhere.

803

00:41:35,709 --> 00:41:38,344

That's, I think my kids,

they're, that's my thing.

804

00:41:39,074 --> 00:41:39,474

Yeah.

805

00:41:39,784 --> 00:41:39,944

Yeah.

806

00:41:39,944 --> 00:41:42,924

I was just saying, explore, you

know, like, you know, get out

807

00:41:42,924 --> 00:41:43,874

there, check some things out.

808

00:41:43,874 --> 00:41:46,814

It's okay to discover something's not your

jam, but I mean, you know, that's right.

809

00:41:47,244 --> 00:41:51,674

But uh, but I, you know, just, but

you grew up like with a thing being

810

00:41:51,674 --> 00:41:54,514

a thing in your life and there was

some like, uh, excitement for it.

811

00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:55,879

Yeah, well,

812

00:41:56,849 --> 00:42:02,709

Jordan Bridges: and with me,

like I, my challenge, I did

813

00:42:02,709 --> 00:42:04,399

a lot of resistance with it.

814

00:42:04,469 --> 00:42:12,769

Uh, you know, after that, that experience

as a kid, um, it, um, it really wasn't

815

00:42:12,769 --> 00:42:19,409

until late into high school and, and then,

you know, really, it kind of solidified

816

00:42:19,409 --> 00:42:23,549

in college doing feeder, uh, that I.

817

00:42:23,994 --> 00:42:29,984

I knew this was kind of more of

a vocation, um, uh, and something

818

00:42:30,054 --> 00:42:34,684

that I, you know, wanted to really

take a shot at having a career.

819

00:42:34,964 --> 00:42:40,614

It, it wasn't automatic, you know,

and also there was the thing of just

820

00:42:40,614 --> 00:42:44,254

because, you know, you have people

in your family who have seen some

821

00:42:44,254 --> 00:42:46,954

success, it's no guarantee, you know?

822

00:42:47,744 --> 00:42:48,994

Um, it's, it's

823

00:42:48,994 --> 00:42:50,594

Marc Preston: the same

like a professional sports.

824

00:42:50,594 --> 00:42:56,279

I mean, you know, uh, when I hear it,

when I hear the phrase, uh, Nepo baby.

825

00:42:56,279 --> 00:43:00,449

I mean, you can get some opportunities,

but you're not going to stay in it

826

00:43:00,459 --> 00:43:03,799

unless you can perform, you know, you're

not going to be at a level because

827

00:43:03,799 --> 00:43:07,219

there's simply too much for like a

better way of putting it too much money

828

00:43:07,219 --> 00:43:10,539

on the line to the people financing

these things want to make money.

829

00:43:10,579 --> 00:43:13,189

You know, um, speaking of

that, it's really funny.

830

00:43:13,189 --> 00:43:14,699

I actually almost became your brother.

831

00:43:15,019 --> 00:43:17,649

Indirectly once interesting story back.

832

00:43:17,699 --> 00:43:23,349

Uh, your dad was set to star in a, in an

independent film, but it's about 2000.

833

00:43:23,449 --> 00:43:24,849

I'm trying to gauge how

old my daughter was.

834

00:43:24,859 --> 00:43:27,409

She was about about 2004 roughly.

835

00:43:27,409 --> 00:43:28,769

It was going to be

shooting in new Orleans.

836

00:43:29,199 --> 00:43:34,029

Uh, maybe it was 2005 and there was, uh,

it was supposed to be basically, he was

837

00:43:34,059 --> 00:43:37,209

the premise of the film to break it down.

838

00:43:37,209 --> 00:43:40,599

It was like he was a guy in the

South had some means maybe, you know,

839

00:43:40,599 --> 00:43:41,919

some people with money in the South.

840

00:43:42,614 --> 00:43:43,644

And he had two kids.

841

00:43:43,924 --> 00:43:47,324

One of them was either kind of a

business guy or kind of shyster and

842

00:43:47,324 --> 00:43:50,544

he had another one who was a doctor

who didn't really, you know, and I was

843

00:43:50,544 --> 00:43:55,974

auditioning to be the doctor and I had

a couple of callbacks and, um, ended up

844

00:43:55,974 --> 00:43:58,404

not getting it, but it was like really

cool cause your dad was going to be in

845

00:43:58,404 --> 00:44:01,914

it and he, of course, with those small

independent films, you know, when you say

846

00:44:01,914 --> 00:44:04,794

Bo Bridges is coming along, well that's

where the financing is coming from.

847

00:44:04,884 --> 00:44:05,514

And, uh.

848

00:44:05,515 --> 00:44:05,544

Sure.

849

00:44:05,544 --> 00:44:05,984

Jordan Bridges: Sure.

850

00:44:06,029 --> 00:44:07,519

Marc Preston: And then,

um, I didn't get it.

851

00:44:07,709 --> 00:44:10,979

I actually, uh, William Ragsdale,

the guy who's in the original

852

00:44:10,989 --> 00:44:12,329

Fright Night, remember that movie?

853

00:44:12,329 --> 00:44:14,879

Um, and yeah, he, he ended up getting it.

854

00:44:15,229 --> 00:44:18,469

But, uh, but I think, uh, my

name is Earl came around for

855

00:44:18,469 --> 00:44:19,679

your dad and he jumped on that.

856

00:44:19,679 --> 00:44:23,099

And then the, of course the story

always, you know, you have the person

857

00:44:23,099 --> 00:44:25,579

who's kind of helping get the financing,

but he's got this great opportunity.

858

00:44:25,639 --> 00:44:28,039

The film doesn't come

together, but I was so excited.

859

00:44:28,039 --> 00:44:30,049

It's like, I get to play Bo

Bridges son for a moment.

860

00:44:30,359 --> 00:44:30,459

Yeah.

861

00:44:30,549 --> 00:44:30,859

So wait,

862

00:44:30,859 --> 00:44:31,019

Jordan Bridges: did it?

863

00:44:31,199 --> 00:44:31,649

It.

864

00:44:31,859 --> 00:44:33,359

So he did do it like it?

865

00:44:33,359 --> 00:44:33,899

No, no, no.

866

00:44:33,899 --> 00:44:34,619

It is out there.

867

00:44:34,679 --> 00:44:35,279

Marc Preston: No, no, no.

868

00:44:35,279 --> 00:44:35,939

Or it fell apart.

869

00:44:35,944 --> 00:44:40,889

It, uh, it, it, when he went to go do my

name Zuro, I think that that him, him not

870

00:44:40,889 --> 00:44:44,459

being top of the, uh, call sheet there as

it were, the film didn't come together.

871

00:44:44,489 --> 00:44:47,939

You know, it was a small, independent

thing, but it was kind of a cool premise,

872

00:44:47,969 --> 00:44:50,004

uh, where basically the, you know, I was.

873

00:44:50,324 --> 00:44:52,494

It's supposed to be a doctor

out just doing my thing.

874

00:44:52,494 --> 00:44:54,714

I wasn't really relying on the

family's money or whatever.

875

00:44:54,715 --> 00:45:00,014

I guess it is about 2000, 2004,

2005, something like that.

876

00:45:00,224 --> 00:45:02,374

I'm so excited because I was

like, okay, that would, that

877

00:45:02,374 --> 00:45:04,294

would be a fun experience.

878

00:45:04,404 --> 00:45:06,194

Jordan Bridges: I mean,

I, that's, that's it.

879

00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:12,029

Cause I've, I've, uh, You know, always

had ambition to be on the, on the

880

00:45:12,039 --> 00:45:18,259

producing side of things, uh, and to, to

help bring, uh, you know, work to light.

881

00:45:18,349 --> 00:45:24,919

Um, and I just love the idea of starting

with an empty page and then, you

882

00:45:24,919 --> 00:45:27,239

know, creating something that then.

883

00:45:27,824 --> 00:45:31,074

Gets out there in the world

and, uh, you know, generates

884

00:45:31,074 --> 00:45:32,684

work for people and all of that.

885

00:45:33,174 --> 00:45:39,244

Um, but I have yet to actually

get something off the ground.

886

00:45:39,274 --> 00:45:40,694

It is so hard.

887

00:45:40,764 --> 00:45:42,704

Um, and, and this is working right.

888

00:45:42,744 --> 00:45:43,884

Marc Preston: Do you

like to write as well?

889

00:45:43,885 --> 00:45:44,494

I write.

890

00:45:44,544 --> 00:45:45,494

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, I write.

891

00:45:45,594 --> 00:45:55,739

Um, and you know, this is working with my

dad who, um, You know, he's also like only

892

00:45:55,739 --> 00:46:02,349

had a couple of times when he's managed

to actually get things made, um, that he

893

00:46:02,349 --> 00:46:05,049

generated and that were his, his idea.

894

00:46:05,629 --> 00:46:09,059

And I find that pretty

amazing, particularly like.

895

00:46:09,414 --> 00:46:16,454

There was a project, um, that

he had with Jeff and, and the

896

00:46:16,454 --> 00:46:18,184

great director, Hal Ashby.

897

00:46:18,974 --> 00:46:26,514

Um, and, um, but because of the timing

of it and because at the time and

898

00:46:26,514 --> 00:46:32,949

really for I think the last, you know,

third or almost half of his career,

899

00:46:33,249 --> 00:46:38,739

Hal Ashby was kind of written off,

um, sadly, uh, cause I think he's

900

00:46:38,759 --> 00:46:41,219

one of our great American directors.

901

00:46:41,249 --> 00:46:47,409

Um, and, um, yeah, they were going to

make this film with them as brothers.

902

00:46:47,409 --> 00:46:49,079

It was before the Baker boys.

903

00:46:49,219 --> 00:46:49,509

Yeah.

904

00:46:49,529 --> 00:46:54,659

It was based on a Based on, it was called,

um, The Hawk Line Monster, and it was

905

00:46:54,659 --> 00:46:56,739

based on a Richard Brodigan short story.

906

00:46:57,469 --> 00:47:01,529

And, they got pretty far down

the road with it, uh, there was

907

00:47:01,529 --> 00:47:06,549

a script, um, but they couldn't,

they couldn't put it together.

908

00:47:06,649 --> 00:47:13,899

And, I mean, it's like, It blows me away,

like, to think, anytime a film that it

909

00:47:13,899 --> 00:47:18,999

manages to get, not only get made, but

get released, and then get, do decent

910

00:47:18,999 --> 00:47:23,799

business, when it doesn't have a name,

and it doesn't have, and it's not a big

911

00:47:23,799 --> 00:47:28,769

time director, you know, attached, and

it's just something that's found its way,

912

00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:36,929

uh, Based on its own merits that blows me

away, and I don't know how they make those

913

00:47:36,939 --> 00:47:38,759

things I don't know how I don't either

914

00:47:38,769 --> 00:47:41,679

Marc Preston: with budgets being the

way they are now I don't have people

915

00:47:41,689 --> 00:47:45,309

I've spoken with that you know used

to be You know when we were growing

916

00:47:45,309 --> 00:47:49,854

up they had a lot of money for Big

comedies, you know, um, that's not

917

00:47:49,854 --> 00:47:51,084

really the case as much anymore.

918

00:47:51,084 --> 00:47:53,994

And I really kind of miss,

you know, goofy, more goofy

919

00:47:53,994 --> 00:47:56,874

comedies, you know, like, uh,

well, airplane, things like that.

920

00:47:56,884 --> 00:48:00,454

Things that you were just, you

know, you'll have like a, like

921

00:48:00,454 --> 00:48:03,834

a Judd Apatow, you know, like

those kinds of movies, just goofy.

922

00:48:04,544 --> 00:48:05,824

You don't see that nearly as much.

923

00:48:05,824 --> 00:48:09,064

And like you said, getting movies off

the ground, it is mind boggling to me,

924

00:48:09,064 --> 00:48:12,254

especially when I talk to folks when

I just kind of look at, you know, what

925

00:48:12,254 --> 00:48:14,014

they've been up to and how many movies.

926

00:48:14,219 --> 00:48:18,539

They've done are in the can, they're

set, they just never get released.

927

00:48:18,569 --> 00:48:20,319

And I was like, Oh my God,

what a, what a let down.

928

00:48:20,319 --> 00:48:20,759

That's got

929

00:48:20,849 --> 00:48:21,549

Jordan Bridges: another thing.

930

00:48:21,549 --> 00:48:26,379

It's like I, all that waste, you

know, when you, I, uh, the most recent

931

00:48:26,379 --> 00:48:32,539

one I heard about was, um, I think

Batgirl was like a huge, they wrote

932

00:48:32,539 --> 00:48:35,189

off like tens of millions of dollars.

933

00:48:35,199 --> 00:48:35,389

Warner

934

00:48:35,389 --> 00:48:35,849

Marc Preston: Brothers.

935

00:48:35,849 --> 00:48:36,309

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

936

00:48:36,809 --> 00:48:40,379

They just shelved the whole thing and

they had like shot most of it, I think.

937

00:48:40,479 --> 00:48:41,139

Um,

938

00:48:41,479 --> 00:48:42,229

Marc Preston: yeah,

because what's the deal?

939

00:48:42,229 --> 00:48:45,349

They could actually take a loss on

the film and come out financially

940

00:48:45,349 --> 00:48:46,489

ahead or something like that.

941

00:48:46,489 --> 00:48:47,359

I'm not an accountant.

942

00:48:47,369 --> 00:48:47,909

I, yeah,

943

00:48:47,959 --> 00:48:48,469

Jordan Bridges: I, yeah.

944

00:48:48,469 --> 00:48:49,879

With insurance or whatever.

945

00:48:49,899 --> 00:48:50,389

I don't know.

946

00:48:50,399 --> 00:48:54,439

That's why, that's probably why I have,

I have yet to actually produce something.

947

00:48:54,909 --> 00:48:57,689

It's because I don't have

instincts for that kind of stuff.

948

00:48:57,689 --> 00:49:02,999

But, um, one thing that I like

about the modern era and where we

949

00:49:02,999 --> 00:49:06,999

are right now, Particularly with

television, you know, there used to

950

00:49:06,999 --> 00:49:12,149

be this thing called pilot season

and it doesn't really exist anymore.

951

00:49:12,609 --> 00:49:16,609

Uh, not in the same way,

not in the same way.

952

00:49:16,739 --> 00:49:16,749

953

00:49:16,749 --> 00:49:17,019

Marc Preston: understand.

954

00:49:17,029 --> 00:49:19,349

Like pilot season is almost

like a year, like almost

955

00:49:19,349 --> 00:49:20,759

Jordan Bridges: like the

majority of the year now.

956

00:49:20,789 --> 00:49:22,869

It's all, that's, that's

what I mean by it.

957

00:49:22,889 --> 00:49:27,819

There's no, like it used to be, it was

a very, it was like from sort of January

958

00:49:27,839 --> 00:49:31,259

to March, they would produce and shoot.

959

00:49:31,694 --> 00:49:33,984

The first episode of these new series.

960

00:49:34,014 --> 00:49:38,664

And then, and then they would take those

to all the executives and the executives

961

00:49:38,664 --> 00:49:44,684

would select some to put to air, which

meant that inevitably every year there

962

00:49:44,684 --> 00:49:50,694

were these, basically these like short

films, uh, that just never got seen.

963

00:49:51,144 --> 00:49:54,704

That were just shelved and

never brought to the public,

964

00:49:54,714 --> 00:49:55,514

you know, that would make an

965

00:49:55,514 --> 00:49:58,074

Marc Preston: idea for a really

cool streaming channel is the

966

00:49:58,094 --> 00:50:00,324

never made it to screen type film.

967

00:50:00,324 --> 00:50:00,654

Yes,

968

00:50:00,814 --> 00:50:04,434

Jordan Bridges: I think because there's

a lot of like kind of famous ones

969

00:50:04,444 --> 00:50:10,654

that starred really amazing people

early on, uh, that are apparently

970

00:50:10,794 --> 00:50:11,814

supposed to be kind of great.

971

00:50:12,194 --> 00:50:14,154

Um, that are just sort of sitting there.

972

00:50:14,534 --> 00:50:20,084

Um, but the thing that now they

do is they just throw it up.

973

00:50:20,244 --> 00:50:21,474

They'll just throw something up.

974

00:50:21,474 --> 00:50:25,754

Sometimes they'll produce it as a, as

a, you know, movie made for television

975

00:50:25,754 --> 00:50:31,964

movie or a long form two episode

thing, and they'll see how it performs.

976

00:50:32,454 --> 00:50:33,944

And then based on that.

977

00:50:34,754 --> 00:50:39,904

They'll either, you know, add a full

season or, you know, uh, bring it

978

00:50:39,914 --> 00:50:44,814

for a second season or they just, you

know, so I, I kind of, I like that.

979

00:50:44,924 --> 00:50:50,024

To me, it seems like

there's less waste now.

980

00:50:50,054 --> 00:50:52,955

It's just that there's

also a glut of content.

981

00:50:53,324 --> 00:50:54,104

For the public.

982

00:50:54,104 --> 00:50:54,644

Marc Preston: Oh, there is.

983

00:50:54,644 --> 00:50:55,024

There is.

984

00:50:55,054 --> 00:51:00,874

And then you have these really odd, just,

just unicorns like Taylor Sheridan, the

985

00:51:00,874 --> 00:51:03,904

guy like bats a thousand, basically,

you know, everything he's putting out.

986

00:51:03,964 --> 00:51:04,504

I was watching.

987

00:51:04,504 --> 00:51:05,514

His story is amazing.

988

00:51:05,534 --> 00:51:08,674

Jordan Bridges: Do you know,

like about how he was an actor

989

00:51:08,674 --> 00:51:10,464

and on, he wasn't treated

990

00:51:10,464 --> 00:51:10,954

Marc Preston: very well.

991

00:51:10,954 --> 00:51:12,134

I think it was, what was that show?

992

00:51:12,144 --> 00:51:15,924

The, uh, the motorcycle gang, uh, uh, uh,

993

00:51:15,924 --> 00:51:19,324

Jordan Bridges: sons of anarchy, sons

of anarchy and, uh, and the Mayans.

994

00:51:19,449 --> 00:51:21,549

I think he was on, I think

he was on both of them.

995

00:51:21,999 --> 00:51:26,969

His character kind of went back and forth

and my reading of it or my understanding

996

00:51:26,969 --> 00:51:34,819

of it is that, uh, he was up for a new

season asking for not the world, but like

997

00:51:34,819 --> 00:51:42,329

a little bit more money and they refused

and then he just was like, okay, I'm out.

998

00:51:43,084 --> 00:51:43,384

Yeah.

999

00:51:43,474 --> 00:51:45,784

And, and then he went and wrote Sicario.

Speaker:
1000

00:51:46,614 --> 00:51:48,634

Marc Preston: That's it's just my way.

Speaker:
1001

00:51:48,634 --> 00:51:51,624

He also did your, uh, your

uncle's, uh, yeah, Helen,

Speaker:
1002

00:51:51,994 --> 00:51:52,724

Jordan Bridges: Helen water

Speaker:
1003

00:51:53,204 --> 00:51:53,704

Marc Preston: or Helen.

Speaker:
1004

00:51:54,284 --> 00:51:56,804

He is a damn good writer.

Speaker:
1005

00:51:56,854 --> 00:51:57,914

I mean, Oh, he's amazing.

Speaker:
1006

00:51:57,914 --> 00:51:59,044

He, but the balls

Speaker:
1007

00:51:59,044 --> 00:52:02,454

Jordan Bridges: on him, that's the

thing is like the, the, the confidence

Speaker:
1008

00:52:02,454 --> 00:52:09,874

in himself, um, that, you know, he,

even if he didn't sell either of those

Speaker:
1009

00:52:09,884 --> 00:52:12,544

scripts, he was willing to roll the dice.

Speaker:
1010

00:52:13,444 --> 00:52:16,974

And like, if it doesn't work

out, I'll go run trail rides.

Speaker:
1011

00:52:17,074 --> 00:52:19,284

Like that was kind of, I've

read that that's like, that

Speaker:
1012

00:52:19,284 --> 00:52:20,864

was his fallback essentially.

Speaker:
1013

00:52:20,914 --> 00:52:22,744

And he was perfectly happy doing that.

Speaker:
1014

00:52:22,774 --> 00:52:23,944

If that's how his life went.

Speaker:
1015

00:52:23,954 --> 00:52:26,254

Marc Preston: For me, he's become a

really interesting cat in the industry.

Speaker:
1016

00:52:26,254 --> 00:52:30,604

Uh, but for me, but I wasn't as big

of a fan of, I love all of his stuff.

Speaker:
1017

00:52:31,094 --> 00:52:33,734

Yellowstone for me never really

kind of like took a bite.

Speaker:
1018

00:52:33,754 --> 00:52:36,674

You know, I just, you know,

everything else he does.

Speaker:
1019

00:52:36,674 --> 00:52:38,624

And he, there's some common themes.

Speaker:
1020

00:52:38,624 --> 00:52:39,944

It's like, you look at what he does.

Speaker:
1021

00:52:39,944 --> 00:52:43,444

There's always just like a strong,

um, Almost all of his stuff

Speaker:
1022

00:52:43,444 --> 00:52:45,524

has very strong female leads.

Speaker:
1023

00:52:45,524 --> 00:52:47,964

You know, there's certain

commonalities and themes and I'm

Speaker:
1024

00:52:47,964 --> 00:52:53,134

like, um, and like he says, Sicario

and uh, it was hell or high water.

Speaker:
1025

00:52:53,134 --> 00:52:56,364

And then you look at the credits on

all of his shows is written by Taylor

Speaker:
1026

00:52:56,364 --> 00:52:59,595

Sheridan and you don't see a long list

of writers and it's like, no, how much

Speaker:
1027

00:52:59,595 --> 00:53:02,724

time does this guy, he has, it has

to be a master of time management.

Speaker:
1028

00:53:03,174 --> 00:53:03,694

Well, you know,

Speaker:
1029

00:53:04,219 --> 00:53:07,139

Jordan Bridges: And that leads me to

another thing I should be plugging,

Speaker:
1030

00:53:07,199 --> 00:53:11,599

uh, that I haven't brought up yet,

um, is I'm now at work on, like,

Speaker:
1031

00:53:11,609 --> 00:53:13,469

my second season of Palm Royale.

Speaker:
1032

00:53:14,169 --> 00:53:14,579

Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker:
1033

00:53:14,589 --> 00:53:22,579

Um, and, um, uh, Josh Lucas,

who much of my work is with, he,

Speaker:
1034

00:53:22,609 --> 00:53:24,599

he worked with Taylor Sheridan.

Speaker:
1035

00:53:24,839 --> 00:53:30,389

Um, on Yellowstone and he, he had,

you know, he was just full of a lot of

Speaker:
1036

00:53:30,389 --> 00:53:34,859

respect, uh, for what he did, but that

was one of the things he talked about was

Speaker:
1037

00:53:34,859 --> 00:53:42,229

just how his hands are in everything, you

know, he's involved in every aspect from

Speaker:
1038

00:53:42,539 --> 00:53:49,269

the horse wrangling, writing every word

that's spoken, essentially, um, you know,

Speaker:
1039

00:53:49,309 --> 00:53:52,749

uh, directing, Casting like all of it.

Speaker:
1040

00:53:52,829 --> 00:53:56,809

He's, he's up in every aspect

of, of the things that the

Speaker:
1041

00:53:56,819 --> 00:53:58,719

Marc Preston: only way you could do

that is like, like we were talking

Speaker:
1042

00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,779

about before, have a lot of love for it.

Speaker:
1043

00:54:00,789 --> 00:54:01,999

You got to really enjoy it.

Speaker:
1044

00:54:02,179 --> 00:54:03,849

He must have a lot of passion.

Speaker:
1045

00:54:04,159 --> 00:54:06,279

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, I think

he must have a lot of passion.

Speaker:
1046

00:54:06,359 --> 00:54:06,769

Yeah.

Speaker:
1047

00:54:06,769 --> 00:54:08,789

So this, and this is another one.

Speaker:
1048

00:54:09,319 --> 00:54:13,119

You know, kind of talking about the,

using as a segue to talk about the

Speaker:
1049

00:54:13,119 --> 00:54:19,029

work, uh, on this particular show

and plug it a little bit, um, It is

Speaker:
1050

00:54:19,029 --> 00:54:25,379

kind of a weird little unicorn of a

show that's hard to, uh, categorize.

Speaker:
1051

00:54:25,789 --> 00:54:30,374

And I think it's the kind of show

that, In, in the past probably

Speaker:
1052

00:54:30,374 --> 00:54:35,554

wouldn't have found an audience

or, or, or given an opportunity.

Speaker:
1053

00:54:36,134 --> 00:54:42,084

Um, but because of where we're at and the

particular pocket that we have right now,

Speaker:
1054

00:54:42,604 --> 00:54:53,274

um, there's this opportunity to give a

show that, you know, um, is, is weird and

Speaker:
1055

00:54:53,284 --> 00:55:03,664

fun and, uh, unusual and kind of like,

but, and totally kind of hard to pin down

Speaker:
1056

00:55:03,764 --> 00:55:09,014

to give it, uh, an opportunity to find

an audience, which is we have, which I,

Speaker:
1057

00:55:09,064 --> 00:55:12,979

I'm, I'm really grateful for, um, I mean,

Speaker:
1058

00:55:12,989 --> 00:55:13,179

Marc Preston: it's all

Speaker:
1059

00:55:13,179 --> 00:55:13,359

Jordan Bridges: my

Speaker:
1060

00:55:13,359 --> 00:55:15,119

Marc Preston: list of it's,

it's definitely on the list.

Speaker:
1061

00:55:15,139 --> 00:55:16,949

Like you said, there's

so much stuff out there.

Speaker:
1062

00:55:16,969 --> 00:55:19,359

Jordan Bridges: There is so

much that's part of the curating

Speaker:
1063

00:55:19,369 --> 00:55:21,019

is a tough thing I find.

Speaker:
1064

00:55:21,469 --> 00:55:26,969

And, um, you know, like really

digging through, uh, I know that

Speaker:
1065

00:55:26,969 --> 00:55:31,589

there's sometimes shows that it

takes me like two or three years.

Speaker:
1066

00:55:32,469 --> 00:55:35,609

Before I come around to actually like,

Oh, I guess I'll finally check it out.

Speaker:
1067

00:55:35,609 --> 00:55:39,379

Like I, I've only now just

started watching slow horses,

Speaker:
1068

00:55:39,849 --> 00:55:42,199

uh, which is another Apple show.

Speaker:
1069

00:55:42,299 --> 00:55:44,229

Marc Preston: And everybody had talked

to that, that thought that ends up

Speaker:
1070

00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,769

being on a list of things they want to,

that they love right now is slow horse.

Speaker:
1071

00:55:47,779 --> 00:55:48,299

Yeah.

Speaker:
1072

00:55:48,519 --> 00:55:52,019

Jordan Bridges: But it was like, it

was going for two or three seasons

Speaker:
1073

00:55:52,019 --> 00:55:55,609

before I even came around, you know,

for, I found the time to actually

Speaker:
1074

00:55:55,609 --> 00:55:57,189

like, be like, okay, I'll watch it now.

Speaker:
1075

00:55:57,279 --> 00:56:00,329

Um, and, uh, yeah.

Speaker:
1076

00:56:00,789 --> 00:56:05,629

So that's kind of, I, I think that's how

some people are coming to Palm Royale,

Speaker:
1077

00:56:05,649 --> 00:56:10,859

is like, they'll catch an episode on the

plane or something, and then, you know,

Speaker:
1078

00:56:11,089 --> 00:56:15,369

they'll, they'll, you know, dedicate

time and, and kind of binge it, um,

Speaker:
1079

00:56:15,859 --> 00:56:20,319

or they'll even, you know, which is

even better, like, when they, I think

Speaker:
1080

00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:25,984

they'll, The, what runs everything now

with the streaming model is when they can

Speaker:
1081

00:56:25,984 --> 00:56:31,364

track subscriptions, new subscriptions

based on when a show was released

Speaker:
1082

00:56:31,364 --> 00:56:33,414

or based on the views or whatever.

Speaker:
1083

00:56:33,784 --> 00:56:36,504

I think when they can see it

driving subscription audience,

Speaker:
1084

00:56:36,834 --> 00:56:38,094

that's when they really like it.

Speaker:
1085

00:56:38,134 --> 00:56:38,954

Um, Oh yeah,

Speaker:
1086

00:56:38,954 --> 00:56:39,504

Marc Preston: yeah, yeah.

Speaker:
1087

00:56:39,984 --> 00:56:43,264

That, you know, now, now none of that

stuff is the old way of doing ratings

Speaker:
1088

00:56:43,264 --> 00:56:44,674

and stuff with it, with the streaming.

Speaker:
1089

00:56:45,014 --> 00:56:47,144

It's kind of out, they have

granular, they know what's

Speaker:
1090

00:56:47,144 --> 00:56:48,664

happening at every moment, you know?

Speaker:
1091

00:56:48,714 --> 00:56:51,544

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, but they don't,

but they don't publish it unless it's

Speaker:
1092

00:56:51,544 --> 00:56:54,774

something that's like extraordinary,

like with stranger things or whatever.

Speaker:
1093

00:56:54,784 --> 00:56:58,764

They, they don't, we're not

seeing like the weekly Nielsen.

Speaker:
1094

00:56:59,204 --> 00:57:01,194

Uh, ratings for these shows really.

Speaker:
1095

00:57:01,434 --> 00:57:01,884

Uh,

Speaker:
1096

00:57:01,904 --> 00:57:04,214

Marc Preston: do you have any kind

of preference when it comes to the

Speaker:
1097

00:57:04,214 --> 00:57:07,834

workflow and the, just the vibe of

working on his show, uh, working

Speaker:
1098

00:57:07,834 --> 00:57:09,264

on a series or working on film?

Speaker:
1099

00:57:09,734 --> 00:57:13,774

Is there a preference there, you know,

uh, between the two kinds of projects?

Speaker:
1100

00:57:14,244 --> 00:57:21,219

Jordan Bridges: Um, No, I mean, I think

for me, uh, the, the short answer is no.

Speaker:
1101

00:57:21,239 --> 00:57:24,529

I take each, each experience

on its own merits.

Speaker:
1102

00:57:24,599 --> 00:57:32,569

Um, and I, I really try to, you know,

go all in what, whatever I'm doing.

Speaker:
1103

00:57:32,689 --> 00:57:39,819

Um, uh, but, um, and really open myself

up to whatever that experience is.

Speaker:
1104

00:57:39,869 --> 00:57:48,279

Um, there's aspects of, uh,

working, uh, On a big, huge film

Speaker:
1105

00:57:48,729 --> 00:57:52,299

that can, that are really fun

and exciting, you know, generally

Speaker:
1106

00:57:52,359 --> 00:57:54,079

the craft service is really good.

Speaker:
1107

00:57:55,579 --> 00:57:56,419

That's where I get myself

Speaker:
1108

00:57:56,419 --> 00:57:58,939

Marc Preston: into trouble is,

you know, if it's really good.

Speaker:
1109

00:57:59,559 --> 00:58:00,039

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

Speaker:
1110

00:58:00,779 --> 00:58:01,469

They'll have that.

Speaker:
1111

00:58:01,469 --> 00:58:01,649

Yeah.

Speaker:
1112

00:58:01,649 --> 00:58:05,399

They'll have that like, you know,

gold standard, uh, craft service.

Speaker:
1113

00:58:05,849 --> 00:58:07,859

Um, and it's fun to like.

Speaker:
1114

00:58:08,559 --> 00:58:13,629

You know, there's something exciting

when, uh, if you're, if you're doing

Speaker:
1115

00:58:13,629 --> 00:58:18,539

a scene and there's literally like

six cameras rolling, uh, you know,

Speaker:
1116

00:58:18,569 --> 00:58:22,219

because there's a huge explosion or

like, and everything is relying on you

Speaker:
1117

00:58:22,229 --> 00:58:24,979

saying that one line that's thrilling.

Speaker:
1118

00:58:25,049 --> 00:58:26,169

Like that's exciting.

Speaker:
1119

00:58:26,199 --> 00:58:29,608

And that's, that kind of draws

on a particular muscle and

Speaker:
1120

00:58:29,608 --> 00:58:32,009

takes a particular skillset.

Speaker:
1121

00:58:32,459 --> 00:58:37,069

But then, uh, you know,

working long form television.

Speaker:
1122

00:58:38,339 --> 00:58:44,559

Because you really get to like find

the arc of a character over time and

Speaker:
1123

00:58:44,559 --> 00:58:46,869

see them age and see them evolve.

Speaker:
1124

00:58:47,339 --> 00:58:48,729

And that's really exciting.

Speaker:
1125

00:58:48,739 --> 00:58:50,169

There's something thrilling about that.

Speaker:
1126

00:58:50,189 --> 00:58:55,759

And also the way that you develop

and deepen relationships with the

Speaker:
1127

00:58:55,759 --> 00:59:00,254

people you're working with, with the,

With the other actors and, and the

Speaker:
1128

00:59:00,264 --> 00:59:05,274

producers and all the crafts people,

like, uh, that's a wonderful thing.

Speaker:
1129

00:59:05,874 --> 00:59:07,884

Marc Preston: I always found

that to be the coolest thing is

Speaker:
1130

00:59:07,894 --> 00:59:09,304

when you just kind of sit back.

Speaker:
1131

00:59:09,304 --> 00:59:11,374

I never really like to go sit

in the chair and wait for them

Speaker:
1132

00:59:11,374 --> 00:59:12,744

to spin the cameras around.

Speaker:
1133

00:59:12,744 --> 00:59:17,159

I like to stay on the perimeter,

but kind of watch what was going on.

Speaker:
1134

00:59:17,249 --> 00:59:20,909

To me, that was always, ever since I

was a little kid, I think I started with

Speaker:
1135

00:59:20,939 --> 00:59:25,159

seven or eight years old and a God, my

very, it's not even on my IMDb, but the

Speaker:
1136

00:59:25,159 --> 00:59:28,739

first thing I was in was, it was called

the Dallas cowboy cheerleaders movie.

Speaker:
1137

00:59:28,839 --> 00:59:33,209

It was a sequel ABC movie of the

week, John Davidson was a sequel.

Speaker:
1138

00:59:33,209 --> 00:59:33,489

Yeah.

Speaker:
1139

00:59:33,819 --> 00:59:34,639

What was the first one?

Speaker:
1140

00:59:34,699 --> 00:59:36,359

Well, it was called the

Dallas cowboy cheerleaders.

Speaker:
1141

00:59:36,359 --> 00:59:38,269

And the next one's Dallas

Cowboys cheerleaders.

Speaker:
1142

00:59:38,284 --> 00:59:40,494

Two is back when they had

the ABC movie of the week.

Speaker:
1143

00:59:40,494 --> 00:59:40,944

Remember?

Speaker:
1144

00:59:40,984 --> 00:59:41,284

Okay.

Speaker:
1145

00:59:41,304 --> 00:59:42,804

And John Davidson was in it.

Speaker:
1146

00:59:42,824 --> 00:59:45,144

Jordan Bridges: That's exactly

what my first gig was too.

Speaker:
1147

00:59:45,144 --> 00:59:45,444

Yeah.

Speaker:
1148

00:59:45,474 --> 00:59:46,994

Marc Preston: And that was

like, you'd look forward to it.

Speaker:
1149

00:59:46,994 --> 00:59:50,284

Cause you know, Sunday, I still

remember the, the graphic intro to it.

Speaker:
1150

00:59:50,334 --> 00:59:56,594

Uh, the anyway, so it was, um, I just

loved watching what, you know, everybody,

Speaker:
1151

00:59:56,594 --> 01:00:01,264

it was almost like a military operation,

you know, and, and personality types.

Speaker:
1152

01:00:01,264 --> 01:00:04,284

And, you know, and I,

the people who would.

Speaker:
1153

01:00:04,504 --> 01:00:09,844

Come in and the, the, the PAs and the,

the, and what the most interesting

Speaker:
1154

01:00:09,844 --> 01:00:13,104

thing, and this is total nerdy,

how the sausage is made side note,

Speaker:
1155

01:00:13,134 --> 01:00:15,224

but I took my coach voiceover.

Speaker:
1156

01:00:15,224 --> 01:00:17,854

And one of the things that I

tell my students, I said, you

Speaker:
1157

01:00:17,854 --> 01:00:19,634

know, it's okay to have nerves.

Speaker:
1158

01:00:19,634 --> 01:00:24,314

Everybody has nerves, you know, between

the time they, you know, AD says, lock

Speaker:
1159

01:00:24,314 --> 01:00:27,264

it up, you know, get quiet to the time

the director says action, you know,

Speaker:
1160

01:00:27,264 --> 01:00:30,824

the anxiety comes up, but you tamp

down the anxiety with that confidence.

Speaker:
1161

01:00:30,824 --> 01:00:31,984

You know, you can do the thing.

Speaker:
1162

01:00:32,384 --> 01:00:32,404

Yeah.

Speaker:
1163

01:00:32,539 --> 01:00:35,359

Uh, but one of the interesting things

is when they see, you know, lock

Speaker:
1164

01:00:35,359 --> 01:00:38,569

it up is it's funny how the people

make sure they're not looking at you

Speaker:
1165

01:00:38,569 --> 01:00:41,299

and you can tell the pros that have

been on a set before, you know, it

Speaker:
1166

01:00:41,299 --> 01:00:43,629

just, you kind of noticed ecosystem.

Speaker:
1167

01:00:43,779 --> 01:00:47,079

Uh, but yeah, and producing

this, that to me would be kind of

Speaker:
1168

01:00:47,079 --> 01:00:50,419

exciting to put the whole thing

together to be kind of, I mean,

Speaker:
1169

01:00:50,679 --> 01:00:51,089

Jordan Bridges: yeah.

Speaker:
1170

01:00:51,589 --> 01:00:57,209

Well, what it was, a lot of it was

born out of, um, you know, the,

Speaker:
1171

01:00:57,580 --> 01:01:02,549

who I grew up around both my peers

and then friends of my family.

Speaker:
1172

01:01:03,269 --> 01:01:09,829

I was surrounded by so many talented

people, um, and you know, the, The

Speaker:
1173

01:01:09,829 --> 01:01:14,129

line I had, I got real close to like,

I really wanted to kind of push in my

Speaker:
1174

01:01:14,129 --> 01:01:19,309

chips and, uh, start a production company

and really make like a family business.

Speaker:
1175

01:01:19,569 --> 01:01:22,629

Um, and I was close to it right.

Speaker:
1176

01:01:22,629 --> 01:01:28,039

As Rosalia Niles that I was on this show,

Rosalia Niles for, we did seven seasons.

Speaker:
1177

01:01:28,499 --> 01:01:30,019

So I had some money in the bank.

Speaker:
1178

01:01:30,019 --> 01:01:33,319

I was in a place where I

could make a move like that.

Speaker:
1179

01:01:33,979 --> 01:01:39,479

Um, And, um, it again there again.

Speaker:
1180

01:01:39,479 --> 01:01:41,999

It just sort of didn't coalesce.

Speaker:
1181

01:01:42,009 --> 01:01:48,149

Um, you know, I had the I had the

ambition and I had the desire,

Speaker:
1182

01:01:48,149 --> 01:01:51,799

but it just didn't kind of come

together for one reason or another.

Speaker:
1183

01:01:51,869 --> 01:01:56,209

Um, but, um, yeah,

that's always been there.

Speaker:
1184

01:01:56,229 --> 01:02:01,509

And I think that, like the interest,

the one thing I, the one sort of piece

Speaker:
1185

01:02:01,509 --> 01:02:04,949

when you, when you Going back to your

question of which do you prefer or,

Speaker:
1186

01:02:05,119 --> 01:02:12,109

you know, um, I, the one thing that

I didn't talk about, uh, was theater.

Speaker:
1187

01:02:12,169 --> 01:02:20,039

Um, to me, that's the purest,

uh, uh, work for an actor.

Speaker:
1188

01:02:20,379 --> 01:02:27,349

Um, because it's still a communal

experience, but when, you know, when

Speaker:
1189

01:02:27,349 --> 01:02:31,059

the, when the lights come up on the

stage and you have a, you know, an

Speaker:
1190

01:02:31,089 --> 01:02:37,879

audience there watching you, uh, It's,

it's, it's up to you to keep it going.

Speaker:
1191

01:02:38,089 --> 01:02:39,449

Uh, there's nowhere to hide, you

Speaker:
1192

01:02:39,449 --> 01:02:39,679

Marc Preston: know,

Speaker:
1193

01:02:40,129 --> 01:02:41,299

Jordan Bridges: there's nowhere to hide.

Speaker:
1194

01:02:41,309 --> 01:02:47,049

It's just, and that to me is, that's

some of the most thrilling stuff

Speaker:
1195

01:02:47,049 --> 01:02:49,439

I've ever had the opportunity to do.

Speaker:
1196

01:02:49,439 --> 01:02:52,509

So that's, you know, I,

I love theater as well.

Speaker:
1197

01:02:52,539 --> 01:02:53,600

Marc Preston: What kind of side note?

Speaker:
1198

01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,299

I was curious as we kind

of start wrapping up.

Speaker:
1199

01:02:55,319 --> 01:02:56,959

I'd be remiss without asking.

Speaker:
1200

01:02:57,029 --> 01:03:02,454

I, I, I, What is a memory of your

grandfather, you know, when you,

Speaker:
1201

01:03:02,454 --> 01:03:05,744

you, you, you, you, you know, there's

a certain iconic nature to them.

Speaker:
1202

01:03:05,744 --> 01:03:09,334

You know, you've grown up, you

know, with your dad and your uncle

Speaker:
1203

01:03:09,344 --> 01:03:14,014

and the grandfather, their family,

but they're kind of perceived.

Speaker:
1204

01:03:14,184 --> 01:03:14,904

We're at the same age.

Speaker:
1205

01:03:14,904 --> 01:03:17,954

So, you know, when airplane came out,

that was just like, you know, that

Speaker:
1206

01:03:17,954 --> 01:03:20,904

was that first, like, you can do that.

Speaker:
1207

01:03:21,124 --> 01:03:26,094

You can be, you can be, you know, like the

casting of they took, I think that the,

Speaker:
1208

01:03:27,054 --> 01:03:33,714

it was Abrams was Abrams brothers, you

know, the, uh, the, uh, the whole idea of.

Speaker:
1209

01:03:34,024 --> 01:03:38,624

Taking serious actors and dropping them

into this thing, you know, I thought

Speaker:
1210

01:03:38,624 --> 01:03:42,344

it was a cool, but I was curious, what,

what is memory or advice or guidance

Speaker:
1211

01:03:42,344 --> 01:03:46,114

or just experience that, that kind

of sticks with you, uh, from your

Speaker:
1212

01:03:46,114 --> 01:03:47,784

grandfather personally or professionally?

Speaker:
1213

01:03:48,774 --> 01:03:52,054

Jordan Bridges: I mean, it's,

there's so much, I mean, I can

Speaker:
1214

01:03:52,054 --> 01:03:57,024

just kind of riff on some, I, well,

the first thing that was occurring

Speaker:
1215

01:03:57,024 --> 01:03:58,424

to me was talking about airplane.

Speaker:
1216

01:03:58,474 --> 01:04:02,104

I remember seeing it and I was

quite young when it came out,

Speaker:
1217

01:04:02,254 --> 01:04:03,904

um, but I still got to see it.

Speaker:
1218

01:04:04,524 --> 01:04:05,504

And I asked him,

Speaker:
1219

01:04:07,669 --> 01:04:10,539

Cause there was that line, like the

shit's really going to hit the fan.

Speaker:
1220

01:04:10,539 --> 01:04:13,439

And then they like, there was

some shit thrown into a fan.

Speaker:
1221

01:04:13,839 --> 01:04:15,569

And I was like, was that really poop?

Speaker:
1222

01:04:15,629 --> 01:04:18,539

And he was like, no, no, they,

they just mixed together some

Speaker:
1223

01:04:18,549 --> 01:04:19,899

stuff and threw it at the fan.

Speaker:
1224

01:04:19,899 --> 01:04:21,139

It wasn't actually poop.

Speaker:
1225

01:04:21,569 --> 01:04:23,319

Um, I remember him telling me that.

Speaker:
1226

01:04:23,349 --> 01:04:31,389

And then, uh, I also, uh, in terms

of like really impactful moments,

Speaker:
1227

01:04:31,419 --> 01:04:33,134

I think that he was a very fun guy.

Speaker:
1228

01:04:33,314 --> 01:04:34,404

Physical person.

Speaker:
1229

01:04:34,704 --> 01:04:38,494

He, uh, loved the ocean.

Speaker:
1230

01:04:38,504 --> 01:04:39,594

He loved swimming.

Speaker:
1231

01:04:39,644 --> 01:04:42,974

Um, and he just loved

being physically active.

Speaker:
1232

01:04:42,974 --> 01:04:47,964

And so that's like something that he

kind of, I think, relayed the importance

Speaker:
1233

01:04:47,964 --> 01:04:49,554

of kind of keeping your body right.

Speaker:
1234

01:04:49,974 --> 01:04:55,164

Um, the importance of family,

uh, was very important to him.

Speaker:
1235

01:04:55,164 --> 01:04:58,044

And, um, he put a lot of energy into that.

Speaker:
1236

01:04:58,114 --> 01:05:00,364

Uh, and then also work ethic.

Speaker:
1237

01:05:00,484 --> 01:05:06,149

Um, one of the things I love about the Job

is that I get to hear stories from people

Speaker:
1238

01:05:06,149 --> 01:05:12,289

who worked with him and without fail, it's

always somebody saying how respectful he

Speaker:
1239

01:05:12,289 --> 01:05:14,599

was, how dedicated to the work he was.

Speaker:
1240

01:05:15,079 --> 01:05:16,969

Um, that has to make you feel good.

Speaker:
1241

01:05:16,969 --> 01:05:17,509

But that, that,

Speaker:
1242

01:05:18,279 --> 01:05:19,119

Marc Preston: oh, it's great.

Speaker:
1243

01:05:19,119 --> 01:05:22,209

People are out there living their

lives with a good vibe and memory

Speaker:
1244

01:05:22,209 --> 01:05:23,104

of your grandfather like that.

Speaker:
1245

01:05:23,379 --> 01:05:23,979

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

Speaker:
1246

01:05:24,009 --> 01:05:24,999

That's amazing.

Speaker:
1247

01:05:25,029 --> 01:05:26,904

And, and so like, I, I, and I.

Speaker:
1248

01:05:27,469 --> 01:05:35,589

I, when I'm working, I actually almost

before every take, I take a minute to,

Speaker:
1249

01:05:35,659 --> 01:05:42,719

to kind of, uh, commune with him and

his, his energy and his spirit and, and,

Speaker:
1250

01:05:42,719 --> 01:05:49,454

uh, make sure that I'm, uh, I'm carrying

that on, you know, um, I want that.

Speaker:
1251

01:05:49,464 --> 01:05:53,394

I, I always want that to be the

experience of anyone who I get

Speaker:
1252

01:05:53,524 --> 01:05:54,774

the opportunity to work with.

Speaker:
1253

01:05:54,774 --> 01:05:59,764

I want them to come away feeling good,

feeling energized, feeling happy about,

Speaker:
1254

01:05:59,834 --> 01:06:01,504

you know, the day that they just put in.

Speaker:
1255

01:06:01,564 --> 01:06:03,864

Um, that's really important to me.

Speaker:
1256

01:06:03,885 --> 01:06:06,914

Marc Preston: Well, I was curious, what

is your, where's your family like from?

Speaker:
1257

01:06:06,954 --> 01:06:09,424

Like originally, where,

where were your people?

Speaker:
1258

01:06:09,434 --> 01:06:11,124

Where do they originate from the bridges?

Speaker:
1259

01:06:11,204 --> 01:06:12,694

Jordan Bridges: Well, yeah, they're.

Speaker:
1260

01:06:12,904 --> 01:06:13,914

It's interesting.

Speaker:
1261

01:06:13,964 --> 01:06:22,754

Um, we've on my dad's side, uh, if

you go kind of the patrilineal line,

Speaker:
1262

01:06:22,914 --> 01:06:29,344

um, we've been in California now,

it's like the fourth generation.

Speaker:
1263

01:06:29,754 --> 01:06:37,174

Um, my grandfather's father,

uh, was the, First one here.

Speaker:
1264

01:06:37,554 --> 01:06:43,844

Um, but, uh, they, their stock

is, you know, sort of, uh,

Speaker:
1265

01:06:44,884 --> 01:06:47,504

uh, you, British essentially.

Speaker:
1266

01:06:47,504 --> 01:06:53,544

And then there's a bit of, uh,

Scandinavian, some, apparently

Speaker:
1267

01:06:53,574 --> 01:06:55,574

some Portuguese in there somewhere.

Speaker:
1268

01:06:55,924 --> 01:07:04,874

Um, and, and then my, my grandmother,

my, on my dad's side, she, uh, was,

Speaker:
1269

01:07:04,904 --> 01:07:07,654

um, Her father was from Liverpool.

Speaker:
1270

01:07:08,234 --> 01:07:10,394

Uh, and then I think her mother was Irish.

Speaker:
1271

01:07:10,524 --> 01:07:16,294

Um, so a lot of British, uh,

kind of like on that side.

Speaker:
1272

01:07:16,714 --> 01:07:22,244

And then on my mother's side,

it's a Russian and German.

Speaker:
1273

01:07:23,414 --> 01:07:26,244

Um, and they were, they

were all immigrants.

Speaker:
1274

01:07:26,655 --> 01:07:31,354

Her, her parents, parents were

first generation Americans.

Speaker:
1275

01:07:31,424 --> 01:07:37,564

My dad's side, my grandmother's father

immigrated, but my grandfather's

Speaker:
1276

01:07:37,604 --> 01:07:41,784

people had been here for, I don't

know, probably about a hundred years.

Speaker:
1277

01:07:41,844 --> 01:07:41,984

Yeah.

Speaker:
1278

01:07:41,984 --> 01:07:42,704

Marc Preston: I'm just envious.

Speaker:
1279

01:07:42,704 --> 01:07:44,754

Cause you have that,

uh, Bridges family hair.

Speaker:
1280

01:07:44,764 --> 01:07:46,504

I'd tell you, I'm, I'm a

little envious over here.

Speaker:
1281

01:07:46,504 --> 01:07:46,884

Uh, you know,

Speaker:
1282

01:07:46,894 --> 01:07:50,784

Jordan Bridges: I, yeah, I mean,

I, I'm, I've, I've got, this is.

Speaker:
1283

01:07:51,269 --> 01:07:56,089

Each one of these I've

earned, those are those

Speaker:
1284

01:07:56,089 --> 01:07:56,789

Marc Preston: gray hairs.

Speaker:
1285

01:07:56,809 --> 01:07:59,709

When you become a parent that you,

you get, uh, anointed with at least

Speaker:
1286

01:07:59,719 --> 01:08:01,219

a couple, you know, because you

Speaker:
1287

01:08:01,219 --> 01:08:02,169

Jordan Bridges: definitely do, man.

Speaker:
1288

01:08:02,169 --> 01:08:02,339

But,

Speaker:
1289

01:08:02,339 --> 01:08:06,559

Marc Preston: uh, one more note on, on

the family, both your dad and your uncle.

Speaker:
1290

01:08:06,824 --> 01:08:10,864

Pick, you know, on the Mount

Rushmore projects that they've done,

Speaker:
1291

01:08:10,864 --> 01:08:12,604

what, what kind of stuck with you?

Speaker:
1292

01:08:12,604 --> 01:08:14,034

Like, this is cool.

Speaker:
1293

01:08:15,714 --> 01:08:19,034

You know, you're taken back by seeing

that performance and just being

Speaker:
1294

01:08:19,194 --> 01:08:20,964

like, this is pretty rock star.

Speaker:
1295

01:08:21,714 --> 01:08:22,074

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

Speaker:
1296

01:08:22,104 --> 01:08:24,034

I mean, you know, part of my thing.

Speaker:
1297

01:08:24,319 --> 01:08:30,159

Uh, I, I, I think both of them have

kind of continued the thing with my

Speaker:
1298

01:08:30,159 --> 01:08:32,169

grandfather in terms of work ethic.

Speaker:
1299

01:08:32,169 --> 01:08:36,439

Like, I think that there's something

of value every time up to bat.

Speaker:
1300

01:08:36,519 --> 01:08:38,339

I think they do great work.

Speaker:
1301

01:08:38,929 --> 01:08:43,019

Um, and so it's hard for me to, to

sift through and really isolate.

Speaker:
1302

01:08:43,019 --> 01:08:46,999

I like to like turn people onto maybe

things that are not as well known.

Speaker:
1303

01:08:47,469 --> 01:08:54,569

Um, I mean, it's you probably like with

my dad, um, going back to Hal Ashby,

Speaker:
1304

01:08:55,059 --> 01:09:01,899

uh, early on, he did Hal Ashby's first

film, which is called the landlord, um,

Speaker:
1305

01:09:01,979 --> 01:09:04,019

which I think is an incredible film.

Speaker:
1306

01:09:04,059 --> 01:09:08,369

Also notable, uh, Luke

Gossett Jr is in it.

Speaker:
1307

01:09:08,409 --> 01:09:13,789

Um, it's a really wonderful

film and he's great in it.

Speaker:
1308

01:09:14,269 --> 01:09:16,819

Um, and I.

Speaker:
1309

01:09:16,884 --> 01:09:19,944

I think that's an incredible film

that everyone should check out.

Speaker:
1310

01:09:20,024 --> 01:09:29,344

Um, I think that, um, probably the time

when everything kind of aligned for him

Speaker:
1311

01:09:29,354 --> 01:09:35,714

in terms of the part and the writing

and where he was at in his life, uh,

Speaker:
1312

01:09:35,754 --> 01:09:38,175

without warning the James Brady story.

Speaker:
1313

01:09:38,705 --> 01:09:38,945

Oh, yeah.

Speaker:
1314

01:09:38,945 --> 01:09:39,044

Yeah.

Speaker:
1315

01:09:39,044 --> 01:09:42,369

He did, he put down a,

Incredible work in that.

Speaker:
1316

01:09:42,619 --> 01:09:45,429

I love it when I love the Baker boys.

Speaker:
1317

01:09:45,499 --> 01:09:48,739

Um, that that was a great boy when

the, that was just, when the two

Speaker:
1318

01:09:48,739 --> 01:09:50,779

of them got together, it was great.

Speaker:
1319

01:09:50,799 --> 01:09:56,179

And you know, Steve Clovis, uh, was 24

when he wrote and directed that film.

Speaker:
1320

01:09:57,459 --> 01:09:59,649

I can't even imagine being 24

and having that kind of weight

Speaker:
1321

01:09:59,649 --> 01:10:01,429

on your shoulders, right?

Speaker:
1322

01:10:01,829 --> 01:10:07,979

I mean, and the fact that he had the

confidence, I'm just actually blown

Speaker:
1323

01:10:07,979 --> 01:10:10,739

away that he only ever made like.

Speaker:
1324

01:10:11,064 --> 01:10:12,474

Three films as a director.

Speaker:
1325

01:10:12,474 --> 01:10:18,034

He kind of became the go to guy for

adapting the Harry Potter screenplays

Speaker:
1326

01:10:18,384 --> 01:10:20,314

and that became his career, essentially.

Speaker:
1327

01:10:20,324 --> 01:10:20,894

Wow, okay.

Speaker:
1328

01:10:20,964 --> 01:10:22,114

Steve Kloves, I'm talking about.

Speaker:
1329

01:10:22,564 --> 01:10:24,994

Um, so I love the two of them in that.

Speaker:
1330

01:10:25,014 --> 01:10:26,334

I think they're both great.

Speaker:
1331

01:10:26,764 --> 01:10:31,999

Um, Jeff, the interesting going back

to Hal Ashby, Jeff did his last film,

Speaker:
1332

01:10:32,359 --> 01:10:38,329

which was called Eight Million Ways to

Die, um, which is an interesting film.

Speaker:
1333

01:10:38,329 --> 01:10:42,379

I think he's great in it, kind of a

little bit of a flawed film, but I

Speaker:
1334

01:10:42,379 --> 01:10:44,009

think he's really wonderful in it.

Speaker:
1335

01:10:44,509 --> 01:10:53,149

Probably my, my favorite of his is

a toss up, uh, between Fisher King.

Speaker:
1336

01:10:53,289 --> 01:10:53,809

Marc Preston: Hmm.

Speaker:
1337

01:10:53,979 --> 01:10:54,849

Oh yeah.

Speaker:
1338

01:10:55,159 --> 01:10:55,369

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

Speaker:
1339

01:10:55,409 --> 01:10:57,039

God, I almost forgot about that one.

Speaker:
1340

01:10:57,789 --> 01:10:59,239

Marc Preston: That was

with Robin Williams, right?

Speaker:
1341

01:10:59,269 --> 01:11:00,639

Robin Williams and Yeah,

Speaker:
1342

01:11:00,639 --> 01:11:02,169

Jordan Bridges: people

forget about that film.

Speaker:
1343

01:11:02,489 --> 01:11:03,189

Yeah.

Speaker:
1344

01:11:04,169 --> 01:11:07,179

Yeah, um, Amazing film.

Speaker:
1345

01:11:07,369 --> 01:11:09,509

And I think he's wonderful in it.

Speaker:
1346

01:11:09,689 --> 01:11:11,559

And Robin is incredible in it.

Speaker:
1347

01:11:11,884 --> 01:11:16,214

And the two of them really bonded and

you can kind of feel that chemistry.

Speaker:
1348

01:11:16,274 --> 01:11:22,584

Um, that's a, that's a great film that

people kind of, you know, uh, forget

Speaker:
1349

01:11:22,584 --> 01:11:25,034

about Terry Gilliam directed that one.

Speaker:
1350

01:11:25,224 --> 01:11:30,554

Um, he's another director that I think,

you know, had a couple of films that

Speaker:
1351

01:11:30,554 --> 01:11:32,324

didn't, didn't do great business.

Speaker:
1352

01:11:32,364 --> 01:11:34,994

And now people kind of forget he was.

Speaker:
1353

01:11:35,819 --> 01:11:38,919

Is I think, uh, one of our

greatest, uh, filmmakers.

Speaker:
1354

01:11:38,919 --> 01:11:43,139

I, I love his work and I love

Jeff particularly in that film.

Speaker:
1355

01:11:43,189 --> 01:11:51,159

Um, and, uh, and then with my

grandfather, um, he did a movie called,

Speaker:
1356

01:11:51,319 --> 01:11:54,989

uh, it's got a couple of different

titles, but I think it's, Called try

Speaker:
1357

01:11:54,989 --> 01:11:57,429

and get me is how you can find it.

Speaker:
1358

01:11:57,839 --> 01:12:01,119

And that was when he was still

a contract player at Columbia.

Speaker:
1359

01:12:01,899 --> 01:12:05,509

And I think he just was that it

was something different for him.

Speaker:
1360

01:12:05,509 --> 01:12:09,169

He was playing kind of a villainous

heavy and he's really great in it.

Speaker:
1361

01:12:09,279 --> 01:12:13,469

Um, and, uh, But yeah, he's another one.

Speaker:
1362

01:12:13,469 --> 01:12:17,399

It's like the, he did another

weird movie with Tom Hanks.

Speaker:
1363

01:12:17,859 --> 01:12:22,739

Um, uh, called Joe

versus Volcano, you know?

Speaker:
1364

01:12:23,359 --> 01:12:23,729

Yeah.

Speaker:
1365

01:12:24,279 --> 01:12:27,739

Which is another one that kind of

like, didn't really work at the

Speaker:
1366

01:12:27,739 --> 01:12:30,639

box office and kind of got panned.

Speaker:
1367

01:12:31,034 --> 01:12:32,784

Because it was just so weird.

Speaker:
1368

01:12:33,184 --> 01:12:36,674

Um, but I actually really loved

that movie and I think it's one of

Speaker:
1369

01:12:36,674 --> 01:12:38,834

my grandfather's best performances.

Speaker:
1370

01:12:38,834 --> 01:12:43,034

He embraced his eyebrows in a

way that was extraordinary and

Speaker:
1371

01:12:43,034 --> 01:12:44,904

like wax them up like this.

Speaker:
1372

01:12:44,904 --> 01:12:47,954

And his character was just really great.

Speaker:
1373

01:12:48,094 --> 01:12:53,754

Um, and you could tell he was just really

in his element and kind of like excited

Speaker:
1374

01:12:53,754 --> 01:12:54,284

Marc Preston: eyebrows here.

Speaker:
1375

01:12:54,284 --> 01:12:56,444

My, one of my favorite scenes

as a kid, the one of the ones

Speaker:
1376

01:12:56,444 --> 01:12:57,984

that kind of made me laugh.

Speaker:
1377

01:12:59,134 --> 01:13:03,604

Was he picked the wrong, when you said

this, this, this, uh, uh, I picked the

Speaker:
1378

01:13:03,604 --> 01:13:05,474

wrong day to stop sniffing airplane glue.

Speaker:
1379

01:13:05,934 --> 01:13:07,364

I don't know if they had an upside down.

Speaker:
1380

01:13:07,364 --> 01:13:12,244

The hair was all just, it was just,

it was again, going back to airplanes.

Speaker:
1381

01:13:12,244 --> 01:13:14,554

Seeing my grandfather had the same.

Speaker:
1382

01:13:14,899 --> 01:13:15,989

Kind of sensibility of humor.

Speaker:
1383

01:13:15,989 --> 01:13:19,899

He wasn't overtly funny necessarily,

but he had that same kind of not taking

Speaker:
1384

01:13:19,899 --> 01:13:21,499

himself seriously in certain moments.

Speaker:
1385

01:13:21,499 --> 01:13:24,549

And that was, you know, I always

thought that was, you know, one of

Speaker:
1386

01:13:24,549 --> 01:13:27,289

those endearing things that I kind

of try to hold on to, you know,

Speaker:
1387

01:13:34,029 --> 01:13:36,090

well, before we get going, I

have something I call my seven

Speaker:
1388

01:13:36,090 --> 01:13:37,889

questions, just a little extra fun.

Speaker:
1389

01:13:37,889 --> 01:13:40,619

I like to throw in, um, and just, okay.

Speaker:
1390

01:13:40,620 --> 01:13:43,889

My, my, my natural curiosity, I always

ended up talking about food at least

Speaker:
1391

01:13:43,889 --> 01:13:50,194

once, but, um, So first question,

what is your favorite comfort food?

Speaker:
1392

01:13:50,264 --> 01:13:52,124

That one thing just kind

of makes you feel good.

Speaker:
1393

01:13:52,414 --> 01:13:55,094

Uh, you mentioned craft

services before, so, you know,

Speaker:
1394

01:13:55,094 --> 01:13:56,054

I'm thinking you're an eater.

Speaker:
1395

01:13:56,304 --> 01:14:00,964

Jordan Bridges: Well, I, yeah, I do like

to, I like to cook, uh, and I like to eat.

Speaker:
1396

01:14:01,044 --> 01:14:06,614

And, um, again, that's a tough one, but

I, I have a kind of go to pocket answer,

Speaker:
1397

01:14:06,614 --> 01:14:09,674

which is, um, Chicken noodle soup.

Speaker:
1398

01:14:09,734 --> 01:14:10,504

Homemade.

Speaker:
1399

01:14:10,854 --> 01:14:16,534

Um, I call it, uh, because it comes from

my mom, I call it Jewish penicillin.

Speaker:
1400

01:14:17,154 --> 01:14:24,864

Um, and I have a very intricate and,

uh, involved recipe that, uh, you

Speaker:
1401

01:14:24,865 --> 01:14:28,484

know, is a kind of a international

secret, so I can't give it.

Speaker:
1402

01:14:28,494 --> 01:14:28,974

Well, hey, you

Speaker:
1403

01:14:28,974 --> 01:14:30,824

Marc Preston: know, if you're, if

you're a big soup guy and hook you up,

Speaker:
1404

01:14:30,824 --> 01:14:36,684

you know, as Jewish kid here, uh, I, I

came up with a matzo ball soup recipe

Speaker:
1405

01:14:36,684 --> 01:14:42,024

became popular enough to where my family

during Passover, like, okay, my family's

Speaker:
1406

01:14:42,024 --> 01:14:43,405

like, okay, Marco make matzo ball soup.

Speaker:
1407

01:14:43,414 --> 01:14:45,295

My ex wife's family

was like, cool with it.

Speaker:
1408

01:14:45,304 --> 01:14:46,314

So I'm like, wait a minute.

Speaker:
1409

01:14:46,314 --> 01:14:48,234

I've, I've got two different

families liking the soup.

Speaker:
1410

01:14:48,234 --> 01:14:49,994

I'm going to hold, nobody

gave me the recipe.

Speaker:
1411

01:14:49,994 --> 01:14:51,404

I was like, I like it more of a stew.

Speaker:
1412

01:14:51,404 --> 01:14:54,754

I like it being a little more hearty than

this little thin broth kind of a thing.

Speaker:
1413

01:14:55,074 --> 01:14:55,694

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

Speaker:
1414

01:14:55,849 --> 01:14:57,369

Yeah, I'm with you on that.

Speaker:
1415

01:14:57,399 --> 01:15:02,799

Um, I've, that's one I've tried

to make matzo ball soup many

Speaker:
1416

01:15:02,799 --> 01:15:07,449

times, and I, they always come

out like hard pieces of granite.

Speaker:
1417

01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,949

I can't, I can't figure out the ball.

Speaker:
1418

01:15:10,039 --> 01:15:11,529

Marc Preston: It's, it's,

you know what it, what it is.

Speaker:
1419

01:15:11,639 --> 01:15:12,629

Let me help you with your balls here.

Speaker:
1420

01:15:13,349 --> 01:15:18,709

Um, it's, you, you don't want a royal

rolling boil when you put, you want

Speaker:
1421

01:15:18,709 --> 01:15:21,834

it, you want to put them in when the

water is, you know, about, Uh, 60

Speaker:
1422

01:15:21,834 --> 01:15:23,204

percent of where you want it to be.

Speaker:
1423

01:15:23,224 --> 01:15:26,164

And then by the time it reaches

that kind of a little harder boiled,

Speaker:
1424

01:15:26,334 --> 01:15:27,664

that's when you cut the heat down.

Speaker:
1425

01:15:27,934 --> 01:15:33,024

If you drop them in real, uh, high

boil, that's why you get those.

Speaker:
1426

01:15:33,344 --> 01:15:36,254

But see, I also don't like them when

they're ultra ultra fluffy either.

Speaker:
1427

01:15:36,254 --> 01:15:37,414

I like a little bit of, uh,

Speaker:
1428

01:15:37,484 --> 01:15:40,744

Jordan Bridges: yeah, that's the thing

is that they would either just dissolve.

Speaker:
1429

01:15:41,154 --> 01:15:43,074

Cause I think I even try, I'd read that.

Speaker:
1430

01:15:43,074 --> 01:15:48,664

I even tried that, but I just sort

of, I gave up, um, because ultimately.

Speaker:
1431

01:15:49,269 --> 01:15:51,579

It's a novelty thing for me.

Speaker:
1432

01:15:51,579 --> 01:15:52,809

The, the matza ball.

Speaker:
1433

01:15:52,839 --> 01:15:57,519

I would rather, if it's a choice,

I'll, I'd rather just have egg noodles

Speaker:
1434

01:15:57,759 --> 01:15:58,179

Marc Preston: really

Speaker:
1435

01:15:58,179 --> 01:16:02,059

Jordan Bridges: in my soup if I, yeah,

that's, that's kind of, even though

Speaker:
1436

01:16:02,059 --> 01:16:03,319

it's, that's probably a COP app.

Speaker:
1437

01:16:03,319 --> 01:16:04,429

So on your mother, on your mother's

Speaker:
1438

01:16:04,429 --> 01:16:06,259

Marc Preston: side, that's,

uh, Jewish side, I guess.

Speaker:
1439

01:16:06,259 --> 01:16:07,189

A Russian and all that?

Speaker:
1440

01:16:07,369 --> 01:16:07,609

Yeah.

Speaker:
1441

01:16:07,609 --> 01:16:07,610

Okay.

Speaker:
1442

01:16:07,615 --> 01:16:07,744

Okay.

Speaker:
1443

01:16:07,749 --> 01:16:07,999

Yeah.

Speaker:
1444

01:16:08,449 --> 01:16:11,869

Um, well then of course you've had

the mishmash down at Cantor's Deli.

Speaker:
1445

01:16:11,869 --> 01:16:13,064

You had to have had that at least once.

Speaker:
1446

01:16:13,385 --> 01:16:16,184

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker:
1447

01:16:16,214 --> 01:16:18,484

And, um, I love canners.

Speaker:
1448

01:16:18,574 --> 01:16:20,904

It's been a while since I've been

there, but I used to, in high

Speaker:
1449

01:16:20,904 --> 01:16:22,064

school, I was there all the time.

Speaker:
1450

01:16:22,194 --> 01:16:30,344

Um, um, so yeah, that's my, uh, that's

my kind of go to, um, like whenever a kid

Speaker:
1451

01:16:30,344 --> 01:16:33,094

is not feeling well, I will whip that up.

Speaker:
1452

01:16:33,234 --> 01:16:39,994

Um, we have, uh, Beautiful California

Bay trees here in, in Topanga.

Speaker:
1453

01:16:40,524 --> 01:16:42,664

And so I love to throw

one of those in there.

Speaker:
1454

01:16:42,664 --> 01:16:43,634

They're very pungent.

Speaker:
1455

01:16:43,894 --> 01:16:44,404

Marc Preston: Much

Speaker:
1456

01:16:44,414 --> 01:16:46,594

Jordan Bridges: better than the

like store bought Bay trees.

Speaker:
1457

01:16:46,614 --> 01:16:48,274

If you just get a fresh Bailey fresh

Speaker:
1458

01:16:48,274 --> 01:16:49,024

Marc Preston: is always better.

Speaker:
1459

01:16:49,024 --> 01:16:49,484

Oh yeah.

Speaker:
1460

01:16:49,484 --> 01:16:49,664

Yeah.

Speaker:
1461

01:16:49,664 --> 01:16:51,194

That's one of the things I

love living on the island.

Speaker:
1462

01:16:51,194 --> 01:16:54,665

I can grow my herbs year round now,

you know, which is just fresh herbs.

Speaker:
1463

01:16:54,665 --> 01:16:58,404

Man is like, they just could take

something average and just like amp it up.

Speaker:
1464

01:16:58,419 --> 01:17:00,469

But, uh, you can tell I

haven't had lunch yet.

Speaker:
1465

01:17:00,469 --> 01:17:01,929

I always end up chatting

with folks, right?

Speaker:
1466

01:17:01,929 --> 01:17:03,259

And we're like about lunchtime.

Speaker:
1467

01:17:03,259 --> 01:17:04,609

I'm like, God, I'm making myself hungry.

Speaker:
1468

01:17:04,919 --> 01:17:08,819

Um, now the next question is you're going

to sit down and you've got, uh, for a

Speaker:
1469

01:17:08,819 --> 01:17:14,039

few hours talking story with three people

sitting down for coffee, living or not.

Speaker:
1470

01:17:14,049 --> 01:17:16,729

Who are those three people be you

would like to sit down and chat with?

Speaker:
1471

01:17:18,349 --> 01:17:19,519

Oh man.

Speaker:
1472

01:17:19,769 --> 01:17:26,194

Jordan Bridges: Um, Or what about like

fictional, uh, I think about that too,

Speaker:
1473

01:17:26,244 --> 01:17:28,284

or, or, you know, mythological that's,

Speaker:
1474

01:17:28,344 --> 01:17:30,484

Marc Preston: that's, Hey, that's

an interesting take, go for it.

Speaker:
1475

01:17:30,514 --> 01:17:31,194

Absolutely.

Speaker:
1476

01:17:31,744 --> 01:17:34,124

Jordan Bridges: Uh, well, no,

I just also think about like.

Speaker:
1477

01:17:34,784 --> 01:17:39,284

You know, when you get into, uh,

religion or spirituality, sometimes

Speaker:
1478

01:17:39,624 --> 01:17:44,624

you don't know to what extent those

people were, uh, amalgamations

Speaker:
1479

01:17:44,634 --> 01:17:48,074

of historic people or, or anyway.

Speaker:
1480

01:17:48,534 --> 01:17:51,444

Um, yeah.

Speaker:
1481

01:17:51,454 --> 01:17:53,154

Who would I want to just hang with?

Speaker:
1482

01:17:53,194 --> 01:17:59,404

I mean, cause there's, there's people

who I want to learn from, right?

Speaker:
1483

01:17:59,434 --> 01:18:02,584

Or who I feel like could, you know, You

know, I could really like, it would be

Speaker:
1484

01:18:02,584 --> 01:18:06,644

so exciting to sit down with them, but

then there's people who like, just seem

Speaker:
1485

01:18:06,644 --> 01:18:10,694

like they would be interesting to just

kind of have lunch with, you know, or,

Speaker:
1486

01:18:10,754 --> 01:18:16,984

or, or go out on town that hit the town

with, um, and this'll probably change.

Speaker:
1487

01:18:16,984 --> 01:18:21,304

But for some reason right now, I'm

going to say, and just because I want

Speaker:
1488

01:18:21,304 --> 01:18:23,834

to make an interesting table, um,

Speaker:
1489

01:18:23,944 --> 01:18:24,824

Marc Preston: well,

that's the point of it.

Speaker:
1490

01:18:25,084 --> 01:18:27,564

Cause you, you also see the

interaction between the other

Speaker:
1491

01:18:27,564 --> 01:18:28,704

people, not just with the

Speaker:
1492

01:18:29,234 --> 01:18:30,694

Jordan Bridges: manager and

we're just going to assume.

Speaker:
1493

01:18:30,824 --> 01:18:38,284

Assume that they can all talk in

the same language, uh, but, um, uh,

Speaker:
1494

01:18:38,484 --> 01:18:46,854

Dorothy Parker, um, uh, Alistair

Crowley and, uh, Jesus Christ.

Speaker:
1495

01:18:47,424 --> 01:18:48,894

Jesus comes up a lot.

Speaker:
1496

01:18:49,079 --> 01:18:51,589

You know, cause you're, it's funny

cause you, yeah, I'm sure that,

Speaker:
1497

01:18:51,589 --> 01:18:54,539

and that was kind of a, I was

trying to go get more creative.

Speaker:
1498

01:18:55,019 --> 01:19:00,759

Um, but I, I also, cause he kept,

I, I been, I've been kind of going

Speaker:
1499

01:19:00,789 --> 01:19:05,489

through the new Testament recently

in a way that I haven't before.

Speaker:
1500

01:19:05,489 --> 01:19:08,569

So he, I've been thinking about, Oh, JC.

Speaker:
1501

01:19:09,069 --> 01:19:13,449

Um, but yeah, uh, that would

be an interesting table.

Speaker:
1502

01:19:13,779 --> 01:19:18,399

Um, Actually, no, no, I'm going

to, I'm going to, I'm going

Speaker:
1503

01:19:18,399 --> 01:19:22,039

to substitute in somebody else

from the Bible for, for Jesus.

Speaker:
1504

01:19:22,889 --> 01:19:28,079

You know, I'm fascinated about

right now is David, King David,

Speaker:
1505

01:19:28,089 --> 01:19:30,009

he of the sling and Goliath.

Speaker:
1506

01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,979

If you get into the

text, he was wild, man.

Speaker:
1507

01:19:33,989 --> 01:19:37,309

He was, he was many wives and.

Speaker:
1508

01:19:38,304 --> 01:19:41,294

I don't want to get too into it

cause we'll probably lose half your

Speaker:
1509

01:19:41,294 --> 01:19:45,954

audience and I might get a fatwa put

out against me in certain countries.

Speaker:
1510

01:19:46,304 --> 01:19:53,274

But um, if you really kind of look into

the, uh, the text with, uh, David, he

Speaker:
1511

01:19:53,274 --> 01:19:55,634

was, seemed like a very interesting dude.

Speaker:
1512

01:19:55,864 --> 01:19:56,014

Yeah.

Speaker:
1513

01:19:56,014 --> 01:19:57,124

I think that's probably

Speaker:
1514

01:19:57,144 --> 01:19:57,604

Marc Preston: David.

Speaker:
1515

01:19:57,704 --> 01:20:00,884

We could be, uh, you know, I'm

not, I'm no biblical scholar by any

Speaker:
1516

01:20:00,884 --> 01:20:02,624

stretch, but if you look, neither am I.

Speaker:
1517

01:20:02,634 --> 01:20:04,944

But if you look back and you,

you, you really kind of scratch.

Speaker:
1518

01:20:05,844 --> 01:20:06,174

Excuse me.

Speaker:
1519

01:20:06,384 --> 01:20:11,144

If you scratch the surface below what,

you know, below what, you know, like what

Speaker:
1520

01:20:11,154 --> 01:20:13,984

common knowledge, you know, and they're

like, there are some interesting stories.

Speaker:
1521

01:20:13,984 --> 01:20:16,894

And I always say, if you take the Bible

and a history book next to each other,

Speaker:
1522

01:20:17,254 --> 01:20:20,884

you reveal some really interesting

things about culture and society and

Speaker:
1523

01:20:20,884 --> 01:20:24,205

sociology and the way in storytelling.

Speaker:
1524

01:20:24,449 --> 01:20:24,899

Yeah, no.

Speaker:
1525

01:20:24,899 --> 01:20:28,239

And, and yeah, um, Barack

Obama comes up a lot too.

Speaker:
1526

01:20:28,279 --> 01:20:28,489

So,

Speaker:
1527

01:20:28,949 --> 01:20:31,419

Jordan Bridges: oh man, I

would love to hang with Barack.

Speaker:
1528

01:20:31,419 --> 01:20:33,459

I'd love to do a beer summit with Barack.

Speaker:
1529

01:20:33,609 --> 01:20:38,619

Um, uh, he was the one, uh,

political figure that I ever

Speaker:
1530

01:20:38,619 --> 01:20:40,049

felt really passionate about.

Speaker:
1531

01:20:40,099 --> 01:20:41,779

And that I actually campaigned for.

Speaker:
1532

01:20:42,139 --> 01:20:42,379

Yeah.

Speaker:
1533

01:20:42,389 --> 01:20:42,579

He,

Speaker:
1534

01:20:42,579 --> 01:20:45,949

Marc Preston: uh, Anthony

Bourdain, they're seen, uh, at

Speaker:
1535

01:20:45,949 --> 01:20:47,919

the little diner in Vietnam.

Speaker:
1536

01:20:47,999 --> 01:20:48,969

Jordan Bridges: Oh, I love that.

Speaker:
1537

01:20:48,970 --> 01:20:49,100

Yeah.

Speaker:
1538

01:20:50,199 --> 01:20:50,749

Vietnam.

Speaker:
1539

01:20:50,749 --> 01:20:51,109

Yeah.

Speaker:
1540

01:20:51,169 --> 01:20:52,639

That was an incredible scene.

Speaker:
1541

01:20:52,709 --> 01:21:01,559

Um, but yeah, so, but I imagine that,

uh, uh, uh, a lunch, uh, a long drinking

Speaker:
1542

01:21:01,559 --> 01:21:06,219

lunch with, uh, King David of the Bible.

Speaker:
1543

01:21:06,939 --> 01:21:14,249

Dorothy Parker of the Algonquin table and

Alistair Crowley of, uh, you know, all of

Speaker:
1544

01:21:14,249 --> 01:21:19,019

his interesting stuff that he got into in

the late 19th century and early twenties.

Speaker:
1545

01:21:19,019 --> 01:21:21,239

I think that would be a

very interesting table.

Speaker:
1546

01:21:21,239 --> 01:21:22,229

Marc Preston: Very cool, very cool.

Speaker:
1547

01:21:22,229 --> 01:21:26,219

Very, uh, very dy That would be a

dynamic conversation to say the least.

Speaker:
1548

01:21:26,219 --> 01:21:26,459

Very

Speaker:
1549

01:21:26,459 --> 01:21:27,119

Jordan Bridges: dynamic.

Speaker:
1550

01:21:27,119 --> 01:21:28,559

Yeah, it would be fun, I think.

Speaker:
1551

01:21:28,559 --> 01:21:31,199

Marc Preston: Now the next question I

got for you, going back to where you,

Speaker:
1552

01:21:31,229 --> 01:21:34,919

you're a young man, uh, or kid who, who

was your very first celebrity crush?

Speaker:
1553

01:21:37,954 --> 01:21:43,454

Jordan Bridges: Um, Oh, I mean

there's different kinds of crushes.

Speaker:
1554

01:21:43,494 --> 01:21:50,914

Um, uh, I mean I, I can, in terms of

like related to business stuff or just

Speaker:
1555

01:21:50,914 --> 01:21:53,264

if we're talking about, I mean, I, I do.

Speaker:
1556

01:21:53,624 --> 01:21:56,744

Marc Preston: That just really grabbed

your attention and just captivated you.

Speaker:
1557

01:21:56,744 --> 01:21:58,154

And like, maybe you're like, Oh

Speaker:
1558

01:21:58,154 --> 01:21:58,574

Jordan Bridges: man,

Speaker:
1559

01:21:58,584 --> 01:21:59,164

Marc Preston: that's

Speaker:
1560

01:21:59,284 --> 01:22:01,884

Jordan Bridges: well, I got to meet,

I mean, there's a couple that I,

Speaker:
1561

01:22:02,254 --> 01:22:04,154

there's two people that I got to meet.

Speaker:
1562

01:22:04,654 --> 01:22:12,204

Um, in real life, uh, that I was fortunate

enough to get to meet, um, both of whom

Speaker:
1563

01:22:12,654 --> 01:22:15,354

I was pretty much embarrassed myself.

Speaker:
1564

01:22:15,444 --> 01:22:16,854

. The first was Michelle Pfeiffer.

Speaker:
1565

01:22:16,884 --> 01:22:17,844

Oh, of course.

Speaker:
1566

01:22:17,934 --> 01:22:20,154

Um, what, what was that on the, uh,

Speaker:
1567

01:22:20,154 --> 01:22:21,534

Marc Preston: baker Boys set or,

Speaker:
1568

01:22:21,714 --> 01:22:25,224

Jordan Bridges: it was, I got to be on

the set on Baker Boys for a couple days.

Speaker:
1569

01:22:25,434 --> 01:22:26,964

I got to meet her.

Speaker:
1570

01:22:27,484 --> 01:22:28,234

Um.

Speaker:
1571

01:22:29,579 --> 01:22:32,999

I, for me, it was all about Lady Hawk.

Speaker:
1572

01:22:33,499 --> 01:22:35,529

Like I'll still go back to that movie.

Speaker:
1573

01:22:35,529 --> 01:22:36,979

I think she's incredible in it.

Speaker:
1574

01:22:37,029 --> 01:22:38,789

It was pretty early on in her career.

Speaker:
1575

01:22:39,339 --> 01:22:45,229

Um, and just, I fell in

love with her in that movie.

Speaker:
1576

01:22:45,339 --> 01:22:48,999

And so when I got to meet

her, um, it was amazing.

Speaker:
1577

01:22:49,459 --> 01:22:55,564

Um, and then another one was, uh,

Well, there's two, well, I'll say Paul

Speaker:
1578

01:22:55,574 --> 01:22:57,874

Stanley, uh, the lead singer of kiss.

Speaker:
1579

01:22:58,744 --> 01:23:01,334

Uh, I had him on a lunchbox.

Speaker:
1580

01:23:01,944 --> 01:23:05,514

I just, I love, I love

how ostentatious they are.

Speaker:
1581

01:23:05,514 --> 01:23:07,114

I just love their whole thing.

Speaker:
1582

01:23:07,174 --> 01:23:10,024

Um, and so there are no better,

Speaker:
1583

01:23:10,354 --> 01:23:14,274

Marc Preston: there's no better band on

earth that understood branding than kiss.

Speaker:
1584

01:23:14,594 --> 01:23:15,154

Jordan Bridges: Yes.

Speaker:
1585

01:23:15,324 --> 01:23:20,514

And just, and just like, while, you

know, extravagant experience, um,

Speaker:
1586

01:23:21,134 --> 01:23:27,534

uh, and, um, I got to meet, I got

to meet him and that was really fun.

Speaker:
1587

01:23:27,984 --> 01:23:28,234

In fact, I

Speaker:
1588

01:23:28,234 --> 01:23:30,304

Marc Preston: just saw something

pop up on social media the other

Speaker:
1589

01:23:30,304 --> 01:23:35,644

day where he was, uh, talking

about like tolerance or something.

Speaker:
1590

01:23:35,664 --> 01:23:39,534

It was, it was a, it was a video where

he was, yeah, it just, uh, they're

Speaker:
1591

01:23:40,154 --> 01:23:41,554

Jordan Bridges: sort of

surprisingly intellectual.

Speaker:
1592

01:23:41,554 --> 01:23:42,804

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker:
1593

01:23:42,804 --> 01:23:43,004

That was,

Speaker:
1594

01:23:43,394 --> 01:23:46,304

Marc Preston: I didn't, I didn't really,

I mean, I, I will say I wasn't, it's

Speaker:
1595

01:23:46,314 --> 01:23:47,744

not that I wasn't into the music.

Speaker:
1596

01:23:47,744 --> 01:23:48,274

I just didn't.

Speaker:
1597

01:23:48,539 --> 01:23:51,749

You know, it was not a, there's people

who are really in the kiss, you know,

Speaker:
1598

01:23:51,759 --> 01:23:53,789

Jordan Bridges: for me, it

was like the whole experience.

Speaker:
1599

01:23:53,819 --> 01:23:59,029

It was less the music than

it was the experience of it.

Speaker:
1600

01:23:59,119 --> 01:24:02,969

Uh, there, there, there, I think

they're a very experiential band.

Speaker:
1601

01:24:03,059 --> 01:24:11,119

Um, but, um, And then the final one, uh,

in terms of just people who I got to, I

Speaker:
1602

01:24:11,159 --> 01:24:17,049

was fortunate enough to meet, uh, I've

always been a huge fan of Tom Waits.

Speaker:
1603

01:24:17,089 --> 01:24:22,099

Uh, I think he's a wonderful actor,

but you know, as a songwriter,

Speaker:
1604

01:24:22,159 --> 01:24:24,769

there's really not too many

people that are better than him.

Speaker:
1605

01:24:24,789 --> 01:24:31,369

I think he's an incredible artist and, uh,

I got to meet him one day in a superMarcet

Speaker:
1606

01:24:31,669 --> 01:24:33,369

and that was, that was amazing.

Speaker:
1607

01:24:33,509 --> 01:24:35,389

Um, and.

Speaker:
1608

01:24:35,689 --> 01:24:41,709

And then I'm just trying to think of

like, in terms of like, fan, like, as

Speaker:
1609

01:24:41,709 --> 01:24:49,199

I started to kind of become conscious

of, uh, the craft, um, of acting,

Speaker:
1610

01:24:50,719 --> 01:24:56,099

um, there was something I've always

loved about John Cusack's work.

Speaker:
1611

01:24:56,169 --> 01:25:01,089

Marc Preston: Yeah, gross point blank

was like kind of, Oh, fantastic.

Speaker:
1612

01:25:01,249 --> 01:25:04,669

And then, and then you go back,

say anything exactly where he,

Speaker:
1613

01:25:04,889 --> 01:25:08,829

then you go to, Oh God, there

was this one just classic kind of

Speaker:
1614

01:25:08,829 --> 01:25:12,569

eighties, uh, it's better off dead.

Speaker:
1615

01:25:12,585 --> 01:25:13,594

No, no, no, no.

Speaker:
1616

01:25:13,594 --> 01:25:16,334

It's not better off dead as

well as his girlfriend goes

Speaker:
1617

01:25:16,334 --> 01:25:18,364

on vacation with her family.

Speaker:
1618

01:25:18,554 --> 01:25:22,884

He's supposed to join them and it's this

whole Odyssey, uh, where if he's trying

Speaker:
1619

01:25:22,884 --> 01:25:25,454

to, yeah, you know, it's going to be, I'm

Speaker:
1620

01:25:25,994 --> 01:25:27,274

Jordan Bridges: not, I'm, I'm spacing.

Speaker:
1621

01:25:27,274 --> 01:25:28,704

Then I kind of remember

what you're talking about.

Speaker:
1622

01:25:28,704 --> 01:25:28,824

Speaker:
1623

01:25:28,824 --> 01:25:32,704

Marc Preston: remember, I remember

level like level 42 did the, uh, did

Speaker:
1624

01:25:32,704 --> 01:25:34,184

the music and the closing credits.

Speaker:
1625

01:25:34,184 --> 01:25:35,864

Don't ask me how I remember that, but, uh,

Speaker:
1626

01:25:36,134 --> 01:25:37,974

Jordan Bridges: that's an

interesting little bit of trivia.

Speaker:
1627

01:25:38,304 --> 01:25:44,094

Um, so, and then, uh, Then the odd,

you know, there's like, I've always

Speaker:
1628

01:25:44,414 --> 01:25:49,454

loved, I think in terms of like, uh,

you know, being kind of drawn to, to

Speaker:
1629

01:25:49,474 --> 01:25:51,254

somebody's work and learning about them.

Speaker:
1630

01:25:51,294 --> 01:26:00,124

Um, Orson Welles, uh, I became kind

of obsessed with, um, his story.

Speaker:
1631

01:26:00,334 --> 01:26:06,329

Uh, I think when you look at,

like, the first sort of ten years

Speaker:
1632

01:26:06,329 --> 01:26:11,340

of his career, I don't think

anyone can, will ever touch it.

Speaker:
1633

01:26:11,340 --> 01:26:19,439

Uh, when you just, just if you think about

just Citizen Kane and War of the Worlds.

Speaker:
1634

01:26:20,454 --> 01:26:26,774

Those two things that, that he was hugely

responsible for, uh, the radio program I'm

Speaker:
1635

01:26:26,774 --> 01:26:30,854

talking about the radio program of war of

the worlds where people literally thought

Speaker:
1636

01:26:30,894 --> 01:26:32,554

we were being invaded committing suicide.

Speaker:
1637

01:26:32,874 --> 01:26:33,194

Yeah.

Speaker:
1638

01:26:33,194 --> 01:26:35,154

They thought that there

was an alien invasion.

Speaker:
1639

01:26:35,374 --> 01:26:37,584

I don't think we could ever do that.

Speaker:
1640

01:26:37,654 --> 01:26:41,474

I don't think that we, that,

that like we being the creative

Speaker:
1641

01:26:41,474 --> 01:26:43,184

community at this point.

Speaker:
1642

01:26:43,979 --> 01:26:49,399

I don't think we could actually

successfully, uh, without

Speaker:
1643

01:26:49,429 --> 01:26:52,129

actually going to jail.

Speaker:
1644

01:26:52,269 --> 01:26:52,569

Uh,

Speaker:
1645

01:26:53,209 --> 01:26:57,249

Marc Preston: but it's a

testament to the buy in.

Speaker:
1646

01:26:57,259 --> 01:26:59,259

Like he, he understood the medium.

Speaker:
1647

01:26:59,259 --> 01:27:01,339

He understood what he's, those

are the people that interest me

Speaker:
1648

01:27:01,339 --> 01:27:05,119

the most are the ones that get

the machine and how it works.

Speaker:
1649

01:27:05,834 --> 01:27:08,854

Work the knobs and make it, you

know, into something special.

Speaker:
1650

01:27:09,104 --> 01:27:12,254

Jordan Bridges: Well, but here's

what he said, though, which is what

Speaker:
1651

01:27:12,254 --> 01:27:15,444

I find interesting is, and this

was kind of borne out to be true,

Speaker:
1652

01:27:16,244 --> 01:27:19,084

it was only because he was naive.

Speaker:
1653

01:27:19,454 --> 01:27:23,294

Because he was so young and kind of

didn't know that shit like because

Speaker:
1654

01:27:23,294 --> 01:27:27,234

he didn't know what the rules were He

didn't know what you could or couldn't do

Speaker:
1655

01:27:27,244 --> 01:27:29,474

Marc Preston: Thank God for a night

I tell you in your 20s or else you

Speaker:
1656

01:27:29,474 --> 01:27:30,614

wouldn't do a whole lot of this That's

Speaker:
1657

01:27:30,614 --> 01:27:34,694

Jordan Bridges: what I'm I know

and and it was only because he was

Speaker:
1658

01:27:34,934 --> 01:27:40,824

Incredibly lucky and fortunate to have

surrounded himself with people who

Speaker:
1659

01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:47,234

could He could communicate what he was

after and because they had experience,

Speaker:
1660

01:27:47,254 --> 01:27:49,354

they could make it happen for him.

Speaker:
1661

01:27:49,354 --> 01:27:49,374

Yeah.

Speaker:
1662

01:27:49,684 --> 01:27:50,004

The theater

Speaker:
1663

01:27:50,004 --> 01:27:52,604

Marc Preston: of the mind that

was radio, that was also special.

Speaker:
1664

01:27:52,604 --> 01:27:54,394

You know, that's the thing

that got me into it early.

Speaker:
1665

01:27:54,394 --> 01:27:56,674

I remember being like seven or

eight and wanting to do radio.

Speaker:
1666

01:27:56,674 --> 01:28:00,274

And that's the reason why the podcast

here, I like it as an audio only format.

Speaker:
1667

01:28:00,274 --> 01:28:04,494

Everybody does video, but you can't

walk in the dog, exercising stuff.

Speaker:
1668

01:28:04,504 --> 01:28:05,674

You can't really watch video.

Speaker:
1669

01:28:05,675 --> 01:28:09,484

And I, they say again, man plans, God

laughs, you know, but I might end up.

Speaker:
1670

01:28:09,654 --> 01:28:12,314

You know, doing a video bit

of it, but I really like it.

Speaker:
1671

01:28:12,314 --> 01:28:12,794

Just audio.

Speaker:
1672

01:28:12,794 --> 01:28:13,924

I like the theater of the mind.

Speaker:
1673

01:28:13,924 --> 01:28:17,864

I like the, I like having to activate

that part of your mind that only

Speaker:
1674

01:28:17,964 --> 01:28:19,364

gets the audio portion of it.

Speaker:
1675

01:28:19,434 --> 01:28:20,604

You know, I think that's a

Speaker:
1676

01:28:20,704 --> 01:28:21,604

Jordan Bridges: hundred percent.

Speaker:
1677

01:28:21,864 --> 01:28:23,244

Oh, by the way, I looked up the film that

Speaker:
1678

01:28:23,244 --> 01:28:25,394

Marc Preston: John Cusack

film is called hot pursuit.

Speaker:
1679

01:28:25,484 --> 01:28:27,044

Uh, Robert Lowe's in it.

Speaker:
1680

01:28:27,074 --> 01:28:27,374

Wow.

Speaker:
1681

01:28:27,384 --> 01:28:28,295

Jerry Stiller.

Speaker:
1682

01:28:28,334 --> 01:28:28,614

Wow.

Speaker:
1683

01:28:28,714 --> 01:28:30,924

Uh, Oh, you know, even Ben Stiller.

Speaker:
1684

01:28:30,994 --> 01:28:31,454

I'm going to have

Speaker:
1685

01:28:31,454 --> 01:28:31,664

Jordan Bridges: to.

Speaker:
1686

01:28:32,044 --> 01:28:34,104

I'm gonna have to tap

into that hot pursuit.

Speaker:
1687

01:28:34,114 --> 01:28:35,044

Yeah, it's one of those just

Speaker:
1688

01:28:35,174 --> 01:28:38,504

Marc Preston: great 80s movies, you

know, like the ones that the next

Speaker:
1689

01:28:38,504 --> 01:28:42,064

question I got for you is now you're

going to be on an island for a year.

Speaker:
1690

01:28:42,064 --> 01:28:44,714

It's a, it's a resort somewhere

you really, really want to be,

Speaker:
1691

01:28:44,904 --> 01:28:46,644

but they don't have streaming.

Speaker:
1692

01:28:47,164 --> 01:28:49,174

Um, You're going to be there a whole year.

Speaker:
1693

01:28:49,174 --> 01:28:50,664

You can only bring one DVD.

Speaker:
1694

01:28:50,664 --> 01:28:54,964

It's a movie you can watch over and over

again and a CD, or I'll say a box set

Speaker:
1695

01:28:54,964 --> 01:28:57,894

even, uh, of a, of a band, uh, music.

Speaker:
1696

01:28:58,454 --> 01:29:03,474

So if you want to listen to something

music wise, watch a movie, one DVD, one

Speaker:
1697

01:29:03,474 --> 01:29:04,714

CD, what are you going to bring with you?

Speaker:
1698

01:29:05,464 --> 01:29:10,264

Jordan Bridges: Okay, so I, I got,

I, I, the, in, on this island where

Speaker:
1699

01:29:10,264 --> 01:29:16,774

there is, there's no, uh, Wi Fi, and

uh, really no internet, uh, we do

Speaker:
1700

01:29:16,774 --> 01:29:23,394

have electricity, and I have devices

that can play, I, I only have, I can

Speaker:
1701

01:29:23,394 --> 01:29:26,859

only take with me one, uh, right.

Speaker:
1702

01:29:27,719 --> 01:29:33,469

I have to choose one piece

of music, uh, and one, uh,

Speaker:
1703

01:29:33,499 --> 01:29:35,449

Marc Preston: one, one movie, one movie.

Speaker:
1704

01:29:35,449 --> 01:29:39,099

But I will say with the music, it can be

a box set or even, you know, the movie,

Speaker:
1705

01:29:39,129 --> 01:29:42,199

if it's a, like the Lord of the Rings or

something, you're going to bring a box.

Speaker:
1706

01:29:42,379 --> 01:29:42,849

Yeah.

Speaker:
1707

01:29:42,859 --> 01:29:46,209

Jordan Bridges: Well, so that's

now that you said it might

Speaker:
1708

01:29:46,209 --> 01:29:47,979

be where I would have to go.

Speaker:
1709

01:29:48,079 --> 01:29:57,069

Um, I might have to go with Lord of

the Rings because, um, I don't know.

Speaker:
1710

01:29:57,069 --> 01:30:02,999

I just think I've, I, I've now

made like, this is like kind

Speaker:
1711

01:30:02,999 --> 01:30:05,649

of shameful nerd disclosure.

Speaker:
1712

01:30:05,689 --> 01:30:13,289

Um, I, it is now becoming like an

annual tradition to watch all three

Speaker:
1713

01:30:13,289 --> 01:30:15,019

of them in the long form version.

Speaker:
1714

01:30:15,639 --> 01:30:22,219

Um, I read the book to my children

cover to cover doing all the voices.

Speaker:
1715

01:30:22,559 --> 01:30:26,529

Um, so I'm a pretty huge Tolkien fan.

Speaker:
1716

01:30:27,039 --> 01:30:30,704

Um, And Peter Jackson fan.

Speaker:
1717

01:30:31,244 --> 01:30:38,994

Um, and I think that like, It

stands up, it really holds up, I

Speaker:
1718

01:30:38,994 --> 01:30:43,794

think it's an incredible piece of

work, uh, and very entertaining.

Speaker:
1719

01:30:44,314 --> 01:30:48,584

Um, uh, you go through

the gamut of emotions.

Speaker:
1720

01:30:48,974 --> 01:30:52,424

So that would probably be the DVD.

Speaker:
1721

01:30:52,874 --> 01:30:56,614

Um, As for

Speaker:
1722

01:30:58,644 --> 01:31:01,304

man, the music's kind of almost harder.

Speaker:
1723

01:31:01,364 --> 01:31:06,424

Um, because there's so

much music I really love.

Speaker:
1724

01:31:06,494 --> 01:31:12,314

Um, and you would want, you know, part

of my, I, I have pretty eclectic taste.

Speaker:
1725

01:31:12,814 --> 01:31:18,864

And so it would be difficult for me to

have, I would almost want to make a mix.

Speaker:
1726

01:31:19,374 --> 01:31:21,084

Like if I, the

Speaker:
1727

01:31:21,084 --> 01:31:23,454

Marc Preston: mixtape

generation, you know, so sure.

Speaker:
1728

01:31:23,454 --> 01:31:24,094

Yeah.

Speaker:
1729

01:31:24,684 --> 01:31:29,474

Jordan Bridges: Well, and that's, I've

been, I'll, I know we're getting, getting

Speaker:
1730

01:31:29,504 --> 01:31:34,804

into time here, but, um, just to give you

a little, little kind of personal story.

Speaker:
1731

01:31:34,854 --> 01:31:41,604

Um, in the midst of the pandemic, this,

this bench turned up on my, just on the

Speaker:
1732

01:31:41,654 --> 01:31:47,414

edge of my property on the road that

looks on my back porch, and it was really

Speaker:
1733

01:31:47,414 --> 01:31:49,694

like looking like right down on my porch.

Speaker:
1734

01:31:50,084 --> 01:31:51,624

And I felt a little weird about it.

Speaker:
1735

01:31:51,644 --> 01:31:53,394

It was also kind of on a slope.

Speaker:
1736

01:31:53,434 --> 01:31:55,604

So I was afraid if anyone sat there.

Speaker:
1737

01:31:55,944 --> 01:31:59,294

It could be a liability issue if

they fell, God forbid, or something.

Speaker:
1738

01:31:59,664 --> 01:32:04,244

So I wanted to put a free sign on

it, and, you know, hopefully somebody

Speaker:
1739

01:32:04,244 --> 01:32:05,704

would come and haul away this bench.

Speaker:
1740

01:32:06,144 --> 01:32:11,044

But then I thought about it a little

bit more, and I decided I would,

Speaker:
1741

01:32:11,044 --> 01:32:15,294

rather than be the grumpy neighbor,

I would be the groovy neighbor.

Speaker:
1742

01:32:15,954 --> 01:32:21,694

So now, um, Saturdays, generally,

when I'm in town here in Topanga,

Speaker:
1743

01:32:22,324 --> 01:32:28,169

um, I will broadcast a playlist to

anyone who happens to come and sit,

Speaker:
1744

01:32:29,119 --> 01:32:32,359

uh, at the bench set at the bench.

Speaker:
1745

01:32:32,359 --> 01:32:37,569

And I, so I, I call it the bench set and

I, I commit, I've become kind of semi

Speaker:
1746

01:32:38,209 --> 01:32:39,749

sort of like a religious experience.

Speaker:
1747

01:32:39,789 --> 01:32:45,069

I sit there and I, I, I press play,

I turn off my phone and I'm just

Speaker:
1748

01:32:45,089 --> 01:32:46,609

kind of committed to being there.

Speaker:
1749

01:32:46,670 --> 01:32:47,909

Marc Preston: Um,

Speaker:
1750

01:32:47,909 --> 01:32:50,239

Jordan Bridges: in that

moment, you're on the

Speaker:
1751

01:32:50,239 --> 01:32:51,809

Marc Preston: bench, but

you've got like a speaker.

Speaker:
1752

01:32:51,939 --> 01:32:52,159

No,

Speaker:
1753

01:32:52,189 --> 01:32:55,239

Jordan Bridges: I'm sitting

on my, I have a janky setup.

Speaker:
1754

01:32:55,249 --> 01:32:57,719

I I'm sitting on my back porch.

Speaker:
1755

01:32:58,009 --> 01:33:01,419

I'm looking at the bench

and then I have a Bluetooth.

Speaker:
1756

01:33:02,914 --> 01:33:04,664

Rigged up to a bullhorn.

Speaker:
1757

01:33:05,124 --> 01:33:07,584

So that the person sitting

on the bench can hear it.

Speaker:
1758

01:33:08,404 --> 01:33:13,994

And, uh, and, and then I, I don't,

the bullhorn I only put on when

Speaker:
1759

01:33:13,994 --> 01:33:15,514

somebody's actually sitting there.

Speaker:
1760

01:33:15,814 --> 01:33:18,444

But then, yeah, so

that's, that's what I do.

Speaker:
1761

01:33:18,804 --> 01:33:22,044

And then I'll go, I'll leave

it playing and I'll walk up to

Speaker:
1762

01:33:22,044 --> 01:33:23,794

the bench and sit and listen.

Speaker:
1763

01:33:24,394 --> 01:33:26,334

And here's the thing, I love that though.

Speaker:
1764

01:33:26,334 --> 01:33:26,524

It's like,

Speaker:
1765

01:33:26,534 --> 01:33:29,444

Marc Preston: it's almost like it's

sort of like being at a bar and

Speaker:
1766

01:33:29,454 --> 01:33:33,274

having command of the jukebox and

everybody knows you're the jukebox guy.

Speaker:
1767

01:33:33,274 --> 01:33:35,014

You got the right mix going, you know?

Speaker:
1768

01:33:35,404 --> 01:33:35,954

Jordan Bridges: Yes.

Speaker:
1769

01:33:36,004 --> 01:33:40,864

And I've, I've met more of my neighbors

doing this exercise than I've ever met

Speaker:
1770

01:33:40,884 --> 01:33:43,454

in, you know, 15 years of living here.

Speaker:
1771

01:33:43,494 --> 01:33:46,704

Uh, so it's been a great exercise for me.

Speaker:
1772

01:33:46,924 --> 01:33:51,054

So if I were, if let's say I knew I was

going to be going to this desert Island

Speaker:
1773

01:33:51,054 --> 01:33:54,414

for the rest of my life, uh, no wifi.

Speaker:
1774

01:33:54,589 --> 01:34:01,079

I would probably sit down and make

a very eclectic, uh, long form set.

Speaker:
1775

01:34:01,579 --> 01:34:01,809

Okay.

Speaker:
1776

01:34:01,810 --> 01:34:02,429

So there you go.

Speaker:
1777

01:34:02,429 --> 01:34:03,589

So yeah, a good mix.

Speaker:
1778

01:34:03,609 --> 01:34:04,169

Marc Preston: I like that.

Speaker:
1779

01:34:04,169 --> 01:34:07,159

I like who, who would be some

of the, who would be some of the

Speaker:
1780

01:34:07,169 --> 01:34:10,099

bands showing up in the mix though?

Speaker:
1781

01:34:10,709 --> 01:34:12,229

Jordan Bridges: There would be a lot.

Speaker:
1782

01:34:12,239 --> 01:34:17,064

So I always, I open up every,

Every playlist with, um, tightened

Speaker:
1783

01:34:17,064 --> 01:34:18,984

up by Archie Bell and the Drells.

Speaker:
1784

01:34:18,994 --> 01:34:21,334

So that would definitely

start out my playlist.

Speaker:
1785

01:34:21,884 --> 01:34:26,224

Um, and then we'd probably stick,

you know, kind of move into a lot.

Speaker:
1786

01:34:26,224 --> 01:34:27,974

I, I really like soul music.

Speaker:
1787

01:34:28,044 --> 01:34:31,034

And so we'd get some

Otis Redding in there.

Speaker:
1788

01:34:31,064 --> 01:34:35,454

We'd get, you know, some Aretha

Franklin, we'd get some, some James

Speaker:
1789

01:34:35,454 --> 01:34:38,174

Brown, definitely get some Al Green.

Speaker:
1790

01:34:38,384 --> 01:34:43,264

And then I'd probably start to

sort of transition into like.

Speaker:
1791

01:34:44,644 --> 01:34:46,524

Sometimes I'll go from there.

Speaker:
1792

01:34:46,554 --> 01:34:48,114

I'll go to hip hop.

Speaker:
1793

01:34:48,144 --> 01:34:56,154

I'll go to particularly, I like kind

of say, you know, early, uh, stuff,

Speaker:
1794

01:34:56,264 --> 01:34:58,284

uh, coming out of the South Bronx.

Speaker:
1795

01:34:58,284 --> 01:35:03,664

And so I'm, you know, thinking of, uh,

You know, Kool Herc, and I'm thinking

Speaker:
1796

01:35:03,664 --> 01:35:10,124

of, you know, the, the message, uh,

I'm thinking of Run DMC, I'm thinking

Speaker:
1797

01:35:10,124 --> 01:35:14,234

a lot of that kind of early stuff, and,

and then I might go, I might kind of do

Speaker:
1798

01:35:14,234 --> 01:35:19,614

a back and forth, you know, New York,

California, you know, battle, uh, between,

Speaker:
1799

01:35:19,615 --> 01:35:21,409

you know, You know, early hip hop acts.

Speaker:
1800

01:35:21,409 --> 01:35:26,499

I go, it might go, come, come into

like some, uh, you know, mid nineties,

Speaker:
1801

01:35:26,519 --> 01:35:31,869

gangster rap stuff, and then I'll go

back and I'll go back to like, you

Speaker:
1802

01:35:31,869 --> 01:35:35,519

know, the British invasion, all of

a sudden I'll throw in some Beatles.

Speaker:
1803

01:35:35,519 --> 01:35:39,559

I'll, I might even throw in

some, some, you know, crazy, uh,

Speaker:
1804

01:35:40,319 --> 01:35:44,649

uh, You know, uh, bebop jazz.

Speaker:
1805

01:35:44,649 --> 01:35:49,749

I'll throw in some randomly,

some like yo yo mob playing Bach.

Speaker:
1806

01:35:50,159 --> 01:35:50,939

Um, you're

Speaker:
1807

01:35:50,939 --> 01:35:53,619

Marc Preston: kind of like me,

you know, it's never all over the

Speaker:
1808

01:35:53,619 --> 01:35:55,279

map and I'll go through phases.

Speaker:
1809

01:35:55,279 --> 01:35:58,969

The one that is, oh man, my youngest

loves country music and she and I

Speaker:
1810

01:35:58,969 --> 01:36:00,209

can connect on that a little bit.

Speaker:
1811

01:36:00,209 --> 01:36:04,669

You know, so we're always, you know, I

got my, uh, Spotify and year end thing.

Speaker:
1812

01:36:04,669 --> 01:36:07,329

And I, my, I'm like you,

I'm eclectic is all get out.

Speaker:
1813

01:36:08,019 --> 01:36:10,209

But, uh, Morgan Wallen was my number one.

Speaker:
1814

01:36:10,209 --> 01:36:12,189

So I screenshotted it, sent

it to Emma down and she's

Speaker:
1815

01:36:12,199 --> 01:36:13,319

going to school in Boca Raton.

Speaker:
1816

01:36:13,319 --> 01:36:15,297

I'm like, okay, I wonder

how this happened.

Speaker:
1817

01:36:15,297 --> 01:36:16,566

Was she excited about that?

Speaker:
1818

01:36:16,566 --> 01:36:19,829

She's the reason why, because I'm in

the car and she's always playing, uh,

Speaker:
1819

01:36:19,919 --> 01:36:22,209

she's Morgan Wallen's, her guy, you know?

Speaker:
1820

01:36:22,209 --> 01:36:22,599

So,

Speaker:
1821

01:36:22,669 --> 01:36:26,094

Jordan Bridges: well, how about, how about

the, that Jeff gave him the artist name?

Speaker:
1822

01:36:26,264 --> 01:36:26,894

of the year.

Speaker:
1823

01:36:26,904 --> 01:36:29,415

He called him Morgan Whalen.

Speaker:
1824

01:36:29,415 --> 01:36:31,014

Really?

Speaker:
1825

01:36:31,264 --> 01:36:31,824

I didn't know.

Speaker:
1826

01:36:32,004 --> 01:36:33,394

Oh, I got to tell her that.

Speaker:
1827

01:36:35,394 --> 01:36:39,464

At the, at the CMAs, it was

the big award end of the night.

Speaker:
1828

01:36:39,484 --> 01:36:40,824

He was very excited.

Speaker:
1829

01:36:40,834 --> 01:36:45,464

Cause he, you know, he's actually

an, an amazing, uh, songwriter,

Speaker:
1830

01:36:45,564 --> 01:36:48,224

uh, and musician himself.

Speaker:
1831

01:36:49,069 --> 01:36:53,229

Crazy heart was kind of the realization,

a full circle thing for him.

Speaker:
1832

01:36:53,829 --> 01:37:00,099

Um, and so he has a lot of friends

in Nashville and, um, he was so

Speaker:
1833

01:37:00,099 --> 01:37:01,729

excited about that opportunity.

Speaker:
1834

01:37:01,749 --> 01:37:06,669

And then, yeah, he, he, uh, he

messed up that, but you know,

Speaker:
1835

01:37:06,679 --> 01:37:08,679

you can't be mad at Jeff Bridges.

Speaker:
1836

01:37:08,909 --> 01:37:10,989

No, it's like, you can't

be mad at the dude.

Speaker:
1837

01:37:11,109 --> 01:37:13,219

He was, he came with his good spirit.

Speaker:
1838

01:37:13,239 --> 01:37:15,739

And I think, uh, you know, even.

Speaker:
1839

01:37:16,064 --> 01:37:19,954

He, he was, he was, uh,

appreciative and, you know,

Speaker:
1840

01:37:19,974 --> 01:37:21,104

thought the whole thing was funny.

Speaker:
1841

01:37:21,114 --> 01:37:21,244

Well,

Speaker:
1842

01:37:21,794 --> 01:37:24,304

Marc Preston: by the way, side

note, you did mention the dude.

Speaker:
1843

01:37:24,324 --> 01:37:28,164

Does he have moments where you,

you can, you wrote a book, I think.

Speaker:
1844

01:37:28,504 --> 01:37:29,974

Something that with, with, uh, someone.

Speaker:
1845

01:37:30,604 --> 01:37:33,124

Jordan Bridges: He did the dude

and the Zen master with his, uh,

Speaker:
1846

01:37:33,844 --> 01:37:35,319

his Buddhist teacher, Bernie.

Speaker:
1847

01:37:35,489 --> 01:37:39,739

Um, who is an incredible guy

is no longer in this plane.

Speaker:
1848

01:37:39,849 --> 01:37:42,159

Um, there's somebody who

started something called

Speaker:
1849

01:37:42,189 --> 01:37:44,809

Marc Preston: the church of the dude

where you can get ordained online.

Speaker:
1850

01:37:44,809 --> 01:37:45,639

I was like, you know, I got it.

Speaker:
1851

01:37:45,639 --> 01:37:47,289

I don't know who's doing

this, but I did it.

Speaker:
1852

01:37:47,339 --> 01:37:47,819

I'm in order.

Speaker:
1853

01:37:47,819 --> 01:37:49,539

I'm ordained in the church of the dude.

Speaker:
1854

01:37:50,289 --> 01:37:51,039

Oh, nice.

Speaker:
1855

01:37:51,379 --> 01:37:52,079

Jordan Bridges: I might do it.

Speaker:
1856

01:37:52,079 --> 01:37:57,984

Cause I, I've always, uh, had a spiritual

bent and I actually think of, of Jeff.

Speaker:
1857

01:37:58,294 --> 01:38:02,954

Kind of as my, uh, he would probably

not like this designation, but I

Speaker:
1858

01:38:02,974 --> 01:38:05,154

think of him as my guru in many ways.

Speaker:
1859

01:38:05,164 --> 01:38:09,364

He, he's definitely led me

down really amazing paths in

Speaker:
1860

01:38:09,364 --> 01:38:10,824

terms of spiritual development.

Speaker:
1861

01:38:10,964 --> 01:38:14,764

Um, I'm a big Alan Watts fans

and he once said, uh, yeah,

Speaker:
1862

01:38:14,764 --> 01:38:16,664

he's, he's very into Alan Watts.

Speaker:
1863

01:38:16,674 --> 01:38:17,214

Really?

Speaker:
1864

01:38:17,224 --> 01:38:17,814

He's turned me on.

Speaker:
1865

01:38:18,514 --> 01:38:18,684

Once

Speaker:
1866

01:38:18,684 --> 01:38:21,524

Marc Preston: said, it's like you,

you don't need a guru unless you think

Speaker:
1867

01:38:21,524 --> 01:38:23,364

you do or something that, that effect.

Speaker:
1868

01:38:23,364 --> 01:38:27,809

In other words, that, that kind

of idea that, Gurus don't exist

Speaker:
1869

01:38:27,809 --> 01:38:29,249

unless that's what you believe.

Speaker:
1870

01:38:29,249 --> 01:38:32,609

And that are, you know, of course,

trying to deconstruct Alan Watson,

Speaker:
1871

01:38:32,619 --> 01:38:34,049

half a second's really rough.

Speaker:
1872

01:38:34,229 --> 01:38:34,329

And

Speaker:
1873

01:38:34,329 --> 01:38:37,919

Jordan Bridges: also it's that even

the word has come to imply things,

Speaker:
1874

01:38:37,979 --> 01:38:43,369

uh, that I think are kind of scary and

frightening, um, to, to many people.

Speaker:
1875

01:38:43,429 --> 01:38:46,179

Uh, so the implication of it can be weird.

Speaker:
1876

01:38:46,599 --> 01:38:52,334

Um, but just in the sense of teacher

and I, I like the idea that, uh, Which

Speaker:
1877

01:38:52,334 --> 01:38:57,244

is, comes in different traditions

and philosophies that the teacher

Speaker:
1878

01:38:57,244 --> 01:38:59,134

will appear when, when you need them.

Speaker:
1879

01:38:59,134 --> 01:38:59,464

Yeah.

Speaker:
1880

01:38:59,524 --> 01:38:59,744

Yeah.

Speaker:
1881

01:38:59,745 --> 01:39:00,624

That's, that's,

Speaker:
1882

01:39:00,624 --> 01:39:02,144

Marc Preston: I think you've made my day.

Speaker:
1883

01:39:02,144 --> 01:39:04,204

No, I'm saying the same

that he's in Dallas Watts.

Speaker:
1884

01:39:04,204 --> 01:39:08,094

Cause I used to work on the radio

briefly in Los Angeles and I lived in

Speaker:
1885

01:39:08,094 --> 01:39:09,735

Encinitas in North County, San Diego.

Speaker:
1886

01:39:10,174 --> 01:39:14,844

And I drove and I draw his would, would

drive up and I would go to canters.

Speaker:
1887

01:39:15,074 --> 01:39:18,744

I did a show just on the weekend, just for

fun, you know, uh, and I'd always go to

Speaker:
1888

01:39:18,744 --> 01:39:20,594

canteries on Friday and go get my dinner.

Speaker:
1889

01:39:20,769 --> 01:39:21,059

Right.

Speaker:
1890

01:39:21,059 --> 01:39:24,709

And then I'd do my show and I'd go

grab a chocolate shake from In N

Speaker:
1891

01:39:24,719 --> 01:39:25,839

Out Burger and crease down to one.

Speaker:
1892

01:39:25,839 --> 01:39:27,559

I will not hold the five, I guess.

Speaker:
1893

01:39:27,559 --> 01:39:30,739

Anyway, over, I would drive back

to San Diego or North County.

Speaker:
1894

01:39:30,769 --> 01:39:31,119

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

Speaker:
1895

01:39:31,159 --> 01:39:32,859

Marc Preston: And I would

just listen to Alan Watts.

Speaker:
1896

01:39:32,879 --> 01:39:35,839

And it was just such a cool,

like it was my once a week date

Speaker:
1897

01:39:35,839 --> 01:39:37,449

without, and of course recordings.

Speaker:
1898

01:39:37,499 --> 01:39:38,069

Yeah.

Speaker:
1899

01:39:38,099 --> 01:39:41,279

Jordan Bridges: I, I, I, I'm

totally, I'm totally with you.

Speaker:
1900

01:39:41,279 --> 01:39:43,489

I like, I, I love audible.

Speaker:
1901

01:39:43,629 --> 01:39:47,689

Um, and I think what's interesting, going

back to your early thing about, you know,

Speaker:
1902

01:39:47,689 --> 01:39:53,079

the sonic experience and, you know, the

kind of magic of, of radio in that way.

Speaker:
1903

01:39:53,499 --> 01:39:58,349

Um, I think they're starting to kind

of going back to kind of almost,

Speaker:
1904

01:39:58,409 --> 01:40:00,409

it's almost like radio theater.

Speaker:
1905

01:40:00,459 --> 01:40:05,609

Um, some of these productions that

they're putting together, um, for

Speaker:
1906

01:40:05,619 --> 01:40:07,329

me, just cause it's kind of in my.

Speaker:
1907

01:40:07,894 --> 01:40:15,404

The, where I like, I'm a big fan of

Neil Gaiman and uh, they did a really

Speaker:
1908

01:40:15,414 --> 01:40:18,284

great, uh, production of Sandman.

Speaker:
1909

01:40:18,774 --> 01:40:23,354

Um, and I think there's now maybe

three seasons, at least two seasons

Speaker:
1910

01:40:23,354 --> 01:40:25,324

of that that you can listen to.

Speaker:
1911

01:40:25,664 --> 01:40:27,899

And the, um, It's amazing.

Speaker:
1912

01:40:27,899 --> 01:40:31,589

You can just close your eyes and

listen and you're there, you know,

Speaker:
1913

01:40:31,589 --> 01:40:37,309

in the performances, they got really

great actors and it's, yeah, I agree.

Speaker:
1914

01:40:37,310 --> 01:40:37,739

Speaker:
1915

01:40:37,739 --> 01:40:39,089

Marc Preston: think

what's old is new again.

Speaker:
1916

01:40:39,089 --> 01:40:43,729

I think people are discovering the, the,

the Zen of just, just the audio and,

Speaker:
1917

01:40:43,729 --> 01:40:47,639

and, and relying on the part of your

mind that is, you know, That the theater

Speaker:
1918

01:40:47,639 --> 01:40:51,889

happens in, you know, that's, that is, uh,

for, for me, cause I came out of radio.

Speaker:
1919

01:40:51,959 --> 01:40:54,819

Uh, in fact, one of the, it's funny,

uh, you mentioned the music thing,

Speaker:
1920

01:40:55,009 --> 01:40:59,639

the mixtape, I, uh, the last show

I did for ABC radio, it was a, it

Speaker:
1921

01:40:59,639 --> 01:41:01,119

was called retro Saturday night.

Speaker:
1922

01:41:01,119 --> 01:41:06,309

And basically I was, I would have people

on who would be, uh, uh, you know, actors,

Speaker:
1923

01:41:06,319 --> 01:41:08,769

singers from, from the air I'd consider.

Speaker:
1924

01:41:09,129 --> 01:41:15,629

Retro from like 79 ish up to 90, 91, but

it was a satellite show and I was able

Speaker:
1925

01:41:15,629 --> 01:41:19,359

to go and just bring in, you know, people

would request stuff, but there was a

Speaker:
1926

01:41:19,409 --> 01:41:23,449

playlist I could fall back on if I needed

to, but I just was always free form.

Speaker:
1927

01:41:23,449 --> 01:41:27,969

It was just, it was like I had this

satellite jukebox going all over America.

Speaker:
1928

01:41:27,999 --> 01:41:32,109

And I was, I tried to find

interesting, harder to find stuff,

Speaker:
1929

01:41:32,119 --> 01:41:33,579

you know, from, from that era.

Speaker:
1930

01:41:34,029 --> 01:41:36,319

But just as a little

side note on the music.

Speaker:
1931

01:41:36,914 --> 01:41:40,234

Kind of your Mount Rushmore of

80 when you think eighties retro,

Speaker:
1932

01:41:40,244 --> 01:41:42,784

what, what were you just into?

Speaker:
1933

01:41:42,974 --> 01:41:45,104

Cause you know, you, you and

I, both kids, I guess graduated

Speaker:
1934

01:41:45,104 --> 01:41:46,344

91 or whatever, you know?

Speaker:
1935

01:41:46,344 --> 01:41:47,034

So, yeah.

Speaker:
1936

01:41:47,064 --> 01:41:47,984

So what was, what was your,

Speaker:
1937

01:41:48,044 --> 01:41:52,044

Jordan Bridges: um, yeah, I mean, if

we're talking really the eighties,

Speaker:
1938

01:41:52,124 --> 01:42:00,534

um, I think, like, I've already

mentioned, well, Cheap Trick, I really

Speaker:
1939

01:42:00,534 --> 01:42:06,644

love Cheap Trick, um, in color and in

black and white is a kind of, I think

Speaker:
1940

01:42:06,644 --> 01:42:08,304

stands up as a kind of a great album.

Speaker:
1941

01:42:08,864 --> 01:42:18,289

Um, and, um, I, Well, and I'm trying

to fit, cause I've, I'm trying to also

Speaker:
1942

01:42:18,289 --> 01:42:24,119

kind of not be super cool and jump to

the nineties when, which is when my,

Speaker:
1943

01:42:24,169 --> 01:42:29,039

I think my taste in music kind of,

uh, matured, uh, Cause the 80s for me

Speaker:
1944

01:42:29,039 --> 01:42:31,749

Marc Preston: was very, uh, it was

like what imprinted was a lot of the

Speaker:
1945

01:42:31,749 --> 01:42:33,499

hair bands kind of stuck with me.

Speaker:
1946

01:42:33,809 --> 01:42:37,389

Some of the, some of the props, some

of the, but yeah, 90s is when I became

Speaker:
1947

01:42:37,389 --> 01:42:41,634

really, I think cause I've been,

like you said, you kind of mature

Speaker:
1948

01:42:41,634 --> 01:42:45,184

in your, your musical tastes and you

more or more deliberate, if you will.

Speaker:
1949

01:42:45,264 --> 01:42:45,884

Jordan Bridges: That's right.

Speaker:
1950

01:42:45,944 --> 01:42:52,374

I mean, I, I liked a lot of that,

you know, Evie, Matt, Oh, um, uh,

Speaker:
1951

01:42:52,374 --> 01:42:54,994

you know, I, I still love Metallica.

Speaker:
1952

01:42:55,044 --> 01:43:02,459

Um, You know, uh, I, I got lucky to, I

went to monsters of rock, I think it was

Speaker:
1953

01:43:02,459 --> 01:43:06,059

in like 89 and it was a pretty great bill.

Speaker:
1954

01:43:06,059 --> 01:43:09,909

It was, uh, Van Halen monsters of rock.

Speaker:
1955

01:43:10,109 --> 01:43:19,109

I mean, Van Halen, Metallica, scorpions,

um, and then maybe like rat or yeah.

Speaker:
1956

01:43:19,609 --> 01:43:20,889

You know, white snake or something.

Speaker:
1957

01:43:20,889 --> 01:43:22,309

One of the diversity

Speaker:
1958

01:43:22,309 --> 01:43:25,349

Marc Preston: of stuff that we had that

was sitting on top for, I mean, the first

Speaker:
1959

01:43:25,799 --> 01:43:30,419

hour of music I played on the radio, it

was, I had, you had Keith sweat, you had

Speaker:
1960

01:43:30,449 --> 01:43:33,409

Aerosmith, uh, new kids on the block.

Speaker:
1961

01:43:33,599 --> 01:43:37,329

It was at this most, it was because

it was people didn't think as much

Speaker:
1962

01:43:37,329 --> 01:43:40,039

in terms of genre, uh, as much.

Speaker:
1963

01:43:40,174 --> 01:43:42,424

Back then, you know, really

getting hyper granular.

Speaker:
1964

01:43:42,464 --> 01:43:46,204

It was just kind of, but like you

said, the, uh, uh, as a friend of

Speaker:
1965

01:43:46,204 --> 01:43:50,834

mine, adult contemporary, yeah, that's

most of what I was in the kind of

Speaker:
1966

01:43:50,835 --> 01:43:55,544

like star one in LA, it was kind of

a format that I, for, uh, focused on.

Speaker:
1967

01:43:55,724 --> 01:44:00,424

Jordan Bridges: I always wanted to be, I

remember being fascinated by punk rock,

Speaker:
1968

01:44:00,534 --> 01:44:08,204

um, and being a little bit young, um, to

kind of, You know, seek out the scene,

Speaker:
1969

01:44:08,894 --> 01:44:11,204

uh, which was sort of similar to hip hop.

Speaker:
1970

01:44:11,234 --> 01:44:11,844

Both of those.

Speaker:
1971

01:44:11,854 --> 01:44:17,764

Like I, I pretended like I, I broke out

my, my cardboard on Ventura Boulevard

Speaker:
1972

01:44:17,794 --> 01:44:20,914

and, you know, pretended to break dance.

Speaker:
1973

01:44:21,014 --> 01:44:23,594

Um, well, you may, you know, I mentioned

Speaker:
1974

01:44:23,594 --> 01:44:25,724

Marc Preston: that like Henry

Rollins, you know, guys like that,

Speaker:
1975

01:44:25,744 --> 01:44:28,494

Jordan Bridges: they're like,

Henry, he's a, he's a, Hero of mine.

Speaker:
1976

01:44:28,494 --> 01:44:31,004

I'm a huge, huge Rollins fan.

Speaker:
1977

01:44:31,404 --> 01:44:32,864

I listened to his show.

Speaker:
1978

01:44:33,254 --> 01:44:36,164

Um, I think he's also a great DJ.

Speaker:
1979

01:44:36,244 --> 01:44:39,374

Um, he's a wordsmith and

an incredible writer.

Speaker:
1980

01:44:39,434 --> 01:44:46,424

Um, and, uh, yeah, I mean, that's, I, I

have a, I have sort of a closeted dream.

Speaker:
1981

01:44:46,904 --> 01:44:52,364

Of, you know, someday working in radio

and being a DJ, but we'll, in your

Speaker:
1982

01:44:52,364 --> 01:44:57,004

neighborhood, you know, that's right in my

neighborhood, whether they like it or not.

Speaker:
1983

01:44:57,434 --> 01:45:01,584

Um, the only thing I, I, I

rarely get on the bullhorn.

Speaker:
1984

01:45:01,869 --> 01:45:05,659

Like I had, I thought about at one point,

like in between, you know, every fifth

Speaker:
1985

01:45:05,659 --> 01:45:11,539

song I'd come on and you just heard,

uh, you know, that was, uh, you know,

Speaker:
1986

01:45:11,539 --> 01:45:17,309

the end of the world or, you know, that

was, uh, Rome by the B 52, whatever.

Speaker:
1987

01:45:17,339 --> 01:45:20,909

Um, I, and I, I haven't done that.

Speaker:
1988

01:45:21,149 --> 01:45:27,579

Um, but yeah, I, I think, uh, I kind

of disclaim the 80s in the way that

Speaker:
1989

01:45:27,579 --> 01:45:30,059

people in the 80s disclaimed the 70s.

Speaker:
1990

01:45:30,599 --> 01:45:34,179

Um, and people in the 70s

sort of disclaimed the 60s.

Speaker:
1991

01:45:34,599 --> 01:45:37,719

I, I have, I have trouble

really owning the 80s.

Speaker:
1992

01:45:37,759 --> 01:45:41,629

I think of myself as a child

of the 70s more than I think of

Speaker:
1993

01:45:41,629 --> 01:45:43,169

myself as a child of the 80s.

Speaker:
1994

01:45:43,709 --> 01:45:45,199

Even though that's not really true.

Speaker:
1995

01:45:45,239 --> 01:45:50,119

Um, I think that's something culturally

I find fascinating though, is that like

Speaker:
1996

01:45:50,129 --> 01:45:58,229

in the nineties we were all obsessed

with like disco culture and yeah, that

Speaker:
1997

01:45:58,229 --> 01:46:04,539

kind of fashion, uh, you know, that, that

came in, that came kind of back around.

Speaker:
1998

01:46:04,879 --> 01:46:08,099

Whereas people in the eighties

thought all of that was in such

Speaker:
1999

01:46:08,099 --> 01:46:09,649

terrible taste and hated it.

Speaker:
2000

01:46:09,649 --> 01:46:09,709

You

Speaker:
2001

01:46:09,709 --> 01:46:10,139

Marc Preston: put it that way.

Speaker:
2002

01:46:10,139 --> 01:46:10,629

Yeah, you're right.

Speaker:
2003

01:46:10,639 --> 01:46:11,069

You're right.

Speaker:
2004

01:46:11,249 --> 01:46:11,479

Yeah.

Speaker:
2005

01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:11,870

That's it.

Speaker:
2006

01:46:11,870 --> 01:46:13,979

Cause it was like the radio

station I worked for, they did

Speaker:
2007

01:46:13,979 --> 01:46:16,579

a, uh, 70s, 70s Saturday night.

Speaker:
2008

01:46:16,984 --> 01:46:20,884

You know, that kind of a thing where it's

just, but this is 1993, you know, so there

Speaker:
2009

01:46:20,884 --> 01:46:24,364

was, it was sort of like it came back in,

that was, its last hurrah, if you will.

Speaker:
2010

01:46:24,364 --> 01:46:24,574

That's

Speaker:
2011

01:46:24,574 --> 01:46:24,874

Jordan Bridges: right.

Speaker:
2012

01:46:24,874 --> 01:46:28,474

And, and then in the seventies

everyone was obsessed with the fifties.

Speaker:
2013

01:46:28,534 --> 01:46:30,964

You know, you had Greece,

you had, you know, yeah.

Speaker:
2014

01:46:31,054 --> 01:46:32,164

Uh, happy days.

Speaker:
2015

01:46:32,314 --> 01:46:36,364

You had this kind of like, it's always,

and it's interesting that your show

Speaker:
2016

01:46:36,364 --> 01:46:40,684

was retrospective or retro, like

we're always kind of looking back.

Speaker:
2017

01:46:41,354 --> 01:46:43,604

But what's interesting is that I felt.

Speaker:
2018

01:46:44,229 --> 01:46:48,139

In the midst of the nineties, I felt

like we were kind of quoting the

Speaker:
2019

01:46:48,139 --> 01:46:54,799

seventies, but then most of it was also

kind of like pushing back on the idea

Speaker:
2020

01:46:54,829 --> 01:46:56,769

of there being any kind of fashion.

Speaker:
2021

01:46:57,329 --> 01:47:00,689

And I feel like that's where a lot

of kind of grunge came out of, you

Speaker:
2022

01:47:00,689 --> 01:47:02,659

know, a lot of us were wearing an

Speaker:
2023

01:47:02,660 --> 01:47:06,769

Marc Preston: FU to

the, uh, boy band thing.

Speaker:
2024

01:47:06,769 --> 01:47:09,439

It was, it was, it was sort of a

core, it was sort of like a musical

Speaker:
2025

01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:11,039

correction, if you will, because,

Speaker:
2026

01:47:11,149 --> 01:47:13,969

Jordan Bridges: but also to, you know,

But also the hair metal, like, even

Speaker:
2027

01:47:13,969 --> 01:47:17,679

though a lot of those people love those

bands and would have loved to have

Speaker:
2028

01:47:17,679 --> 01:47:21,749

had that kind of a career, like they

kind of were like, No, we're not that.

Speaker:
2029

01:47:22,179 --> 01:47:28,589

Um, and I think the fashion, a lot of

it, even though now people, if you're,

Speaker:
2030

01:47:28,639 --> 01:47:33,379

you know, ask somebody to kind of conjure

up what's a 90s look, uh, you know,

Speaker:
2031

01:47:33,389 --> 01:47:34,939

they'll, they'll put something together.

Speaker:
2032

01:47:34,939 --> 01:47:36,459

It'll kind of be reflective of that.

Speaker:
2033

01:47:36,459 --> 01:47:37,114

But I think a, yeah.

Speaker:
2034

01:47:37,224 --> 01:47:42,194

at the time, I just felt like we were just

kind of giving the finger to the idea that

Speaker:
2035

01:47:42,194 --> 01:47:43,684

we were supposed to dress like anything.

Speaker:
2036

01:47:44,074 --> 01:47:50,274

We could go to the, you know, um,

go to the thrift shop and just score

Speaker:
2037

01:47:50,274 --> 01:47:54,314

whatever happened to be there and put

something together and express ourselves.

Speaker:
2038

01:47:54,314 --> 01:47:55,834

And well, I think the nineties

Speaker:
2039

01:47:55,834 --> 01:48:01,114

Marc Preston: was the last decade that was

very identifiable musically, if you will.

Speaker:
2040

01:48:01,114 --> 01:48:01,284

Yeah.

Speaker:
2041

01:48:01,434 --> 01:48:06,129

Like you say, um, Like I'm, I'm shouting

like an old guy now, but it was, you know,

Speaker:
2042

01:48:06,169 --> 01:48:10,189

cause you hear a 80s night, you know, you

know, a decade of music you're listening

Speaker:
2043

01:48:10,189 --> 01:48:14,539

to now it's for my kids, they were hearing

things I was listening to and they don't

Speaker:
2044

01:48:14,539 --> 01:48:19,039

know if it's sometimes new or an older

song, you know, the nineties kind of had

Speaker:
2045

01:48:19,039 --> 01:48:23,449

a, you know, you had to have you, you had

musicians on stage, you know, you were,

Speaker:
2046

01:48:23,609 --> 01:48:26,029

it was, uh, I, I really liked the era.

Speaker:
2047

01:48:26,089 --> 01:48:26,829

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

Speaker:
2048

01:48:26,954 --> 01:48:29,624

I mean, but there was

also a lot of synth stuff.

Speaker:
2049

01:48:29,624 --> 01:48:32,204

And I mean, I, I don't know,

it's, it's interesting.

Speaker:
2050

01:48:32,234 --> 01:48:37,584

I feel like you can, it's hard to define

an era until you have some perspective

Speaker:
2051

01:48:37,584 --> 01:48:40,004

on it until it can become retrospective.

Speaker:
2052

01:48:40,154 --> 01:48:43,164

Um, you know, my daughter.

Speaker:
2053

01:48:44,589 --> 01:48:49,939

Kind of thinking about nineties fashion

or nineties films or things like that.

Speaker:
2054

01:48:50,029 --> 01:48:55,869

And, um, I had never even really

thought of it as having a cohesive

Speaker:
2055

01:48:55,869 --> 01:48:58,139

style until she kind of brought that.

Speaker:
2056

01:48:58,359 --> 01:48:58,929

I would like,

Speaker:
2057

01:48:59,169 --> 01:49:00,519

Marc Preston: you know,

that's very interesting.

Speaker:
2058

01:49:00,559 --> 01:49:04,349

I would love to see from like

a kid's perspective, what

Speaker:
2059

01:49:04,349 --> 01:49:05,439

they think of the nineties.

Speaker:
2060

01:49:05,459 --> 01:49:07,029

Cause I don't really have any.

Speaker:
2061

01:49:07,204 --> 01:49:09,024

Yeah, I just kind of felt like it's sort

Speaker:
2062

01:49:09,024 --> 01:49:11,434

Jordan Bridges: of not what I

thought, you know, it's sort of

Speaker:
2063

01:49:11,434 --> 01:49:13,064

not really what I thought it was.

Speaker:
2064

01:49:13,104 --> 01:49:17,734

Um, and I think that the same is

probably true of the time we're in now.

Speaker:
2065

01:49:17,744 --> 01:49:23,844

I think that we won't really know

until we're 10, 15, 20 years on.

Speaker:
2066

01:49:23,884 --> 01:49:27,824

And then I think it'll, it'll sort

of coalesce into whatever it's

Speaker:
2067

01:49:27,844 --> 01:49:30,064

become, you know, The next time you,

Speaker:
2068

01:49:30,064 --> 01:49:31,784

Marc Preston: you get a playlist,

do you, do you make, do you

Speaker:
2069

01:49:31,784 --> 01:49:32,704

make like a little notes?

Speaker:
2070

01:49:32,704 --> 01:49:35,524

What your playlist was on your,

on your bullhorn sessions?

Speaker:
2071

01:49:35,779 --> 01:49:36,599

We'll call it the bull horns.

Speaker:
2072

01:49:36,749 --> 01:49:41,269

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, I, I,

well, because I got, I realized

Speaker:
2073

01:49:41,279 --> 01:49:44,219

that I was, I close everyone.

Speaker:
2074

01:49:44,489 --> 01:49:47,399

I open and close each

one with the same song.

Speaker:
2075

01:49:47,449 --> 01:49:51,729

So I always start with tighten up

and then I close with mercy, mercy,

Speaker:
2076

01:49:51,729 --> 01:49:54,014

mercy by a cannonball Adderley.

Speaker:
2077

01:49:54,469 --> 01:49:58,199

Um, and then in between, I can, there

Speaker:
2078

01:49:58,199 --> 01:49:58,429

Marc Preston: you go.

Speaker:
2079

01:49:58,429 --> 01:50:02,169

You're, you got the radio guy vibe because

we all, when we put a show together, I

Speaker:
2080

01:50:02,169 --> 01:50:03,399

always kind of think, how do we open?

Speaker:
2081

01:50:03,749 --> 01:50:05,229

And how would he, what are the bookends

Speaker:
2082

01:50:05,249 --> 01:50:06,019

Jordan Bridges: of this show?

Speaker:
2083

01:50:06,129 --> 01:50:07,079

You know, that's, yeah.

Speaker:
2084

01:50:07,099 --> 01:50:09,539

And so that's my sort of like signature.

Speaker:
2085

01:50:09,599 --> 01:50:12,649

Like when you hear that music,

come on, you know, you know, you're

Speaker:
2086

01:50:12,649 --> 01:50:14,079

about to sit down at the bench.

Speaker:
2087

01:50:14,599 --> 01:50:16,869

Marc Preston: You know what you

need to do is create a play that

Speaker:
2088

01:50:16,869 --> 01:50:18,259

playlist, put it on Spotify,

Speaker:
2089

01:50:18,259 --> 01:50:19,429

Jordan Bridges: you know, uh, Spotify.

Speaker:
2090

01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:20,419

It's on Spotify.

Speaker:
2091

01:50:20,459 --> 01:50:20,699

Yeah.

Speaker:
2092

01:50:20,699 --> 01:50:25,399

I'm on, it's like anyone, you could,

uh, most of my playlists are public,

Speaker:
2093

01:50:25,399 --> 01:50:29,169

so you could probably just find

me on Spotify and check them out.

Speaker:
2094

01:50:29,259 --> 01:50:33,644

Um, and uh, Yeah, I do.

Speaker:
2095

01:50:33,644 --> 01:50:37,514

I'll do, sometimes I'll do like a

playlist for somebody's in the way

Speaker:
2096

01:50:37,514 --> 01:50:39,014

we used to make mixtapes, you know?

Speaker:
2097

01:50:39,019 --> 01:50:43,634

Mm-hmm . For, for someone's birthday,

or, you know, uh, as a gift.

Speaker:
2098

01:50:43,634 --> 01:50:47,174

I like to kind of give people

playlists, but then of course, not

Speaker:
2099

01:50:47,174 --> 01:50:51,344

everybody has Spotify or wants to

pay the, the 10 bucks a month for

Speaker:
2100

01:50:51,344 --> 01:50:53,444

the , the premium subscription.

Speaker:
2101

01:50:53,444 --> 01:50:55,604

So they can't, they're like, ah,

what am I supposed to do with this?

Speaker:
2102

01:50:55,964 --> 01:50:58,945

Um, but yeah, I, I love Spotify for that.

Speaker:
2103

01:50:59,394 --> 01:51:00,904

For the whole, the way that you're right.

Speaker:
2104

01:51:00,904 --> 01:51:01,724

That is the modern day.

Speaker:
2105

01:51:02,294 --> 01:51:04,094

Marc Preston: It's like,

here's my, here's my link.

Speaker:
2106

01:51:04,124 --> 01:51:06,944

I think some of the kids are discovering

the nineties thing, especially nineties.

Speaker:
2107

01:51:07,114 --> 01:51:11,684

What's popular right now, uh, is nineties

country with a lot of the younger kids.

Speaker:
2108

01:51:11,684 --> 01:51:12,884

Cause they're discovering that.

Speaker:
2109

01:51:13,264 --> 01:51:14,554

And, uh, that's right.

Speaker:
2110

01:51:14,614 --> 01:51:19,544

And for them, that's, that's kind of like,

that's where the real ancestors came from.

Speaker:
2111

01:51:19,564 --> 01:51:22,604

You know, of course, like your,

your, your, uh, your uncle, you

Speaker:
2112

01:51:22,604 --> 01:51:24,924

know, being in, you know, I'm

pretty sure he would say maybe.

Speaker:
2113

01:51:25,029 --> 01:51:27,239

You know, Willie Nelson

and all those guys.

Speaker:
2114

01:51:27,269 --> 01:51:29,789

And that's kind of the, when I grown

up in Texas, that was our thing.

Speaker:
2115

01:51:29,789 --> 01:51:33,099

So country's always figured in a

little bit, uh, for me as well.

Speaker:
2116

01:51:33,099 --> 01:51:36,759

Jordan Bridges: I really talk about Nepo

babies and kind of giving their finger.

Speaker:
2117

01:51:36,789 --> 01:51:41,429

I love, uh, new Luke Nelson

and the, uh, what is this band?

Speaker:
2118

01:51:41,429 --> 01:51:45,939

The, uh, something of the real, uh, the

Nelson, it was just Nelson or like, well,

Speaker:
2119

01:51:45,949 --> 01:51:47,309

back in the day, it was just Nelson.

Speaker:
2120

01:51:47,634 --> 01:51:48,614

No, not Nelson.

Speaker:
2121

01:51:49,194 --> 01:51:49,974

No, no, no.

Speaker:
2122

01:51:50,054 --> 01:51:55,234

Nelson was, they were, uh, the

kids of, uh, Ozzie and Harriet.

Speaker:
2123

01:51:55,234 --> 01:51:55,514

Yeah.

Speaker:
2124

01:51:55,514 --> 01:51:55,694

Yeah.

Speaker:
2125

01:51:55,694 --> 01:51:56,094

Yep.

Speaker:
2126

01:51:56,424 --> 01:52:03,044

Um, no, Luke Nelson and the promise of

the real that's he's Willie Nelson's son.

Speaker:
2127

01:52:03,204 --> 01:52:04,034

Oh, that's right.

Speaker:
2128

01:52:04,034 --> 01:52:04,434

That's right.

Speaker:
2129

01:52:04,434 --> 01:52:04,734

Okay.

Speaker:
2130

01:52:04,734 --> 01:52:05,544

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker:
2131

01:52:05,564 --> 01:52:07,624

Uh, let me, let me get that right though.

Speaker:
2132

01:52:07,694 --> 01:52:10,274

Um, but he.

Speaker:
2133

01:52:10,489 --> 01:52:14,199

Is, uh, I, I just love what he's doing.

Speaker:
2134

01:52:14,199 --> 01:52:19,749

He's kind of making, you know,

running his own race and has, uh,

Speaker:
2135

01:52:20,049 --> 01:52:23,014

had like really kind of carved out

an interesting career for himself.

Speaker:
2136

01:52:23,499 --> 01:52:23,719

Marc Preston: Yeah.

Speaker:
2137

01:52:23,719 --> 01:52:26,719

That's, uh, you know, yeah,

I got to check that out.

Speaker:
2138

01:52:26,719 --> 01:52:30,349

Cause I, I'm so glad when I finally

got back to, uh, go back to Texas, I

Speaker:
2139

01:52:30,349 --> 01:52:33,779

feel like I'm like, okay, now I can

kind of go to Austin and go check out

Speaker:
2140

01:52:33,779 --> 01:52:38,414

some, uh, some live stuff a little,

it's about a, hour drive north of me.

Speaker:
2141

01:52:38,414 --> 01:52:42,104

But, uh, I do miss, you know, that's one

of the things that you mentioned, the

Speaker:
2142

01:52:42,104 --> 01:52:47,794

kids, 19 year old daughter, you know,

you mentioned the, uh, COVID in school.

Speaker:
2143

01:52:47,794 --> 01:52:50,844

She never really had that

same social experience.

Speaker:
2144

01:52:50,844 --> 01:52:54,194

Like maybe you or I did, and she's

got a boy she's interested in now.

Speaker:
2145

01:52:54,194 --> 01:52:56,729

It's kind of her first serious

boyfriend, the guy, but.

Speaker:
2146

01:52:56,969 --> 01:53:01,089

You know, I still haven't met the

boy, so, uh, that's a whole story

Speaker:
2147

01:53:01,089 --> 01:53:02,769

for a different day, but he's intact.

Speaker:
2148

01:53:02,769 --> 01:53:04,639

Jordan Bridges: I get that, man.

Speaker:
2149

01:53:04,659 --> 01:53:06,009

I get that whole thing.

Speaker:
2150

01:53:06,009 --> 01:53:10,649

It's like getting mixed into their, you

know, you know, the people who they bring

Speaker:
2151

01:53:10,649 --> 01:53:13,859

into their lives and you kind of have,

yeah, that's a, that's always a tough.

Speaker:
2152

01:53:13,879 --> 01:53:15,719

Marc Preston: Well, she's, you

know, of course he's in the country,

Speaker:
2153

01:53:15,729 --> 01:53:18,774

she's in the country and they, she

flew in from Florida to meet him in

Speaker:
2154

01:53:18,774 --> 01:53:21,289

Austin to go see a, uh, a concert.

Speaker:
2155

01:53:21,659 --> 01:53:23,309

I'm like going, you

know, she's experienced.

Speaker:
2156

01:53:23,324 --> 01:53:24,164

Expressing herself.

Speaker:
2157

01:53:24,164 --> 01:53:24,974

Like what kind of music?

Speaker:
2158

01:53:24,974 --> 01:53:26,834

You know, it's just, she's still the baby.

Speaker:
2159

01:53:26,864 --> 01:53:29,774

She's, you know, it is just, I,

that's, that's a whole thing.

Speaker:
2160

01:53:29,774 --> 01:53:33,344

'cause uh, he, she's been into town

three times since she's been dating him.

Speaker:
2161

01:53:33,344 --> 01:53:35,984

And he, you know, he's been

around, hasn't brought him around.

Speaker:
2162

01:53:35,984 --> 01:53:39,464

And I'm OG man, gotta you go up

and you shake that father's hand

Speaker:
2163

01:53:39,464 --> 01:53:40,514

when you know you dating a girl.

Speaker:
2164

01:53:40,634 --> 01:53:40,694

Yeah.

Speaker:
2165

01:53:41,144 --> 01:53:42,314

Maybe I'm old school, I don't know.

Speaker:
2166

01:53:42,314 --> 01:53:44,924

But apparently somebody said, well,

the kids aren't like that these days.

Speaker:
2167

01:53:44,924 --> 01:53:46,994

Well, they should be , you know,

Speaker:
2168

01:53:47,249 --> 01:53:49,304

Jordan Bridges: I, I,

I'm always, I like it.

Speaker:
2169

01:53:49,304 --> 01:53:50,684

Well, and, but then there's the.

Speaker:
2170

01:53:50,819 --> 01:53:54,069

I do, there's the opposite of that,

which is kind of the old Eddie

Speaker:
2171

01:53:54,069 --> 01:53:57,969

Haskell, like, you know, who's

like wonderful with the parents.

Speaker:
2172

01:53:57,969 --> 01:53:59,369

Oh, I love that guy.

Speaker:
2173

01:53:59,609 --> 01:54:02,579

And then he's actually like, it turns

out to be kind of a shitty book.

Speaker:
2174

01:54:03,109 --> 01:54:06,879

Um, but, uh, I do like it though.

Speaker:
2175

01:54:06,909 --> 01:54:11,339

When I'm meeting and not even just

if it's a romantic, but if it's just

Speaker:
2176

01:54:11,339 --> 01:54:15,789

their friends, I like the friends

who are cordial and respectful.

Speaker:
2177

01:54:15,789 --> 01:54:16,199

And you

Speaker:
2178

01:54:16,199 --> 01:54:17,249

Marc Preston: just kind

of see where they're at.

Speaker:
2179

01:54:17,249 --> 01:54:19,139

You're, you're enjoying your kids.

Speaker:
2180

01:54:19,489 --> 01:54:22,609

Life in a way, you know, the choices

they're making, the people they

Speaker:
2181

01:54:22,609 --> 01:54:25,639

want to be around, you know, that's

kind of the thing, unless somebody

Speaker:
2182

01:54:25,639 --> 01:54:26,909

is treating one of my kids wrong.

Speaker:
2183

01:54:26,909 --> 01:54:27,999

I'm like, no, do your thing.

Speaker:
2184

01:54:28,069 --> 01:54:31,419

You float who with, it's those

people who kind of color that

Speaker:
2185

01:54:31,419 --> 01:54:33,169

moment of your life to a degree.

Speaker:
2186

01:54:33,169 --> 01:54:36,449

So, you know, you get to kind of

experience that vicariously through

Speaker:
2187

01:54:36,449 --> 01:54:38,229

the kids, you know, but, uh,

Speaker:
2188

01:54:38,919 --> 01:54:39,189

Jordan Bridges: kids,

Speaker:
2189

01:54:39,189 --> 01:54:41,859

Marc Preston: man, I tell you, but,

um, you know, we talked about the,

Speaker:
2190

01:54:41,869 --> 01:54:45,419

the, the, the music and the, uh,

uh, movie on the island, but if you

Speaker:
2191

01:54:45,419 --> 01:54:48,879

were the next question, if you were

to say from the time you get up.

Speaker:
2192

01:54:49,354 --> 01:54:52,024

To the time you go to sleep, you're

going to define the component

Speaker:
2193

01:54:52,064 --> 01:54:53,414

parts of a perfect day for you.

Speaker:
2194

01:54:53,424 --> 01:54:56,324

Like you said, this

day, it clicked for me.

Speaker:
2195

01:54:56,334 --> 01:54:56,584

What's

Speaker:
2196

01:54:56,584 --> 01:54:57,684

Jordan Bridges: my perfect day?

Speaker:
2197

01:54:57,914 --> 01:54:58,194

All the

Speaker:
2198

01:54:58,524 --> 01:54:59,444

Marc Preston: component parts.

Speaker:
2199

01:55:00,304 --> 01:55:03,594

Jordan Bridges: If I were to have

a perfect day, uh, well, it would

Speaker:
2200

01:55:03,594 --> 01:55:10,564

definitely be, cause right now,

um, I'm away from my wife and kids.

Speaker:
2201

01:55:10,664 --> 01:55:14,574

Um, cause we kind of split our

time between New York and LA.

Speaker:
2202

01:55:14,894 --> 01:55:17,479

And right now they're in

New York and I'm in L.

Speaker:
2203

01:55:17,479 --> 01:55:17,489

Speaker:
2204

01:55:17,489 --> 01:55:22,259

So it would, it would definitely

be a day when we were all together.

Speaker:
2205

01:55:23,149 --> 01:55:31,209

Um, and because it's my day, I would

start out, we would all, I have, I like

Speaker:
2206

01:55:31,209 --> 01:55:39,304

to, Have a practice every day where it's

kind of a mind, body, spirit practice.

Speaker:
2207

01:55:39,304 --> 01:55:46,694

So it's like, I, I start out by, I like

to, to do the mini crossword and now

Speaker:
2208

01:55:46,694 --> 01:55:48,634

you New York tide, like play wordle.

Speaker:
2209

01:55:48,944 --> 01:55:52,264

I like to do yodel, which is

like a history version of it.

Speaker:
2210

01:55:52,634 --> 01:55:54,654

Um, so I got to look that up.

Speaker:
2211

01:55:54,684 --> 01:55:55,144

Okay.

Speaker:
2212

01:55:55,439 --> 01:55:56,699

Oh yeah, look up Yertle.

Speaker:
2213

01:55:56,699 --> 01:55:57,259

It's really fun.

Speaker:
2214

01:55:57,289 --> 01:56:01,529

Cause every day, you know, and it's,

it's a similar thing like Wordle

Speaker:
2215

01:56:01,529 --> 01:56:06,689

where you have six chance tries to

figure out the year that all of these

Speaker:
2216

01:56:06,689 --> 01:56:09,699

things, they give you a list of things

that happens and you have to figure

Speaker:
2217

01:56:09,699 --> 01:56:11,115

out the year that it all happened.

Speaker:
2218

01:56:11,639 --> 01:56:14,609

Marc Preston: See, I think I would be good

at that to some degree, you know, I'd get

Speaker:
2219

01:56:16,295 --> 01:56:17,090

Jordan Bridges: in the ballpark.

Speaker:
2220

01:56:17,090 --> 01:56:20,009

Well, what's great, I, I

usually am able to get it.

Speaker:
2221

01:56:20,009 --> 01:56:25,154

Um, And, but what I love about it

is that inevitably there's one of

Speaker:
2222

01:56:25,154 --> 01:56:28,654

the things that happened on that

year I didn't know nothing about.

Speaker:
2223

01:56:28,894 --> 01:56:32,854

And so it's this great opportunity

to kind of educate myself

Speaker:
2224

01:56:32,854 --> 01:56:34,944

and, uh, expand my mind a bit.

Speaker:
2225

01:56:35,404 --> 01:56:38,094

So this day would open like that.

Speaker:
2226

01:56:38,104 --> 01:56:43,904

We would all wake up and Gather and play

some of those kind of mind games and

Speaker:
2227

01:56:43,904 --> 01:56:52,724

learn a little bit of history and Then

we would go have a great exercise that

Speaker:
2228

01:56:52,724 --> 01:56:59,384

would take a nice long hike and Maybe

and because again, this is my fantasy day

Speaker:
2229

01:56:59,654 --> 01:57:05,889

this very rarely happens, but Um, we would

all, uh, train martial arts together.

Speaker:
2230

01:57:06,439 --> 01:57:07,399

That would be great.

Speaker:
2231

01:57:07,409 --> 01:57:08,169

It would be fantastic.

Speaker:
2232

01:57:08,469 --> 01:57:09,359

Are they into it already or

Speaker:
2233

01:57:10,139 --> 01:57:10,839

Marc Preston: is this something?

Speaker:
2234

01:57:10,839 --> 01:57:11,899

It's not really, no,

Speaker:
2235

01:57:11,959 --> 01:57:14,299

Jordan Bridges: no, no, but

this is my fantasy, man.

Speaker:
2236

01:57:14,299 --> 01:57:15,979

So let me, let me work it out.

Speaker:
2237

01:57:16,309 --> 01:57:22,094

Um, we would all, we would all train

martial arts and then go surfing and

Speaker:
2238

01:57:22,094 --> 01:57:23,749

we would all be really good at surfing.

Speaker:
2239

01:57:23,759 --> 01:57:25,449

Cause again, this is my fantasy day.

Speaker:
2240

01:57:26,159 --> 01:57:27,559

Um, do you, do you

Speaker:
2241

01:57:27,559 --> 01:57:28,019

Marc Preston: surf though?

Speaker:
2242

01:57:28,019 --> 01:57:29,639

Is that something that's already on your,

Speaker:
2243

01:57:30,299 --> 01:57:32,669

Jordan Bridges: No, I, I, I body surf.

Speaker:
2244

01:57:32,669 --> 01:57:33,149

I liked it.

Speaker:
2245

01:57:33,149 --> 01:57:35,979

I love the swimming in the ocean,

but surfing I've never had the

Speaker:
2246

01:57:35,979 --> 01:57:39,639

discipline for, but in this

fantasy world, I would be great.

Speaker:
2247

01:57:39,719 --> 01:57:40,449

I would be amazing.

Speaker:
2248

01:57:40,619 --> 01:57:40,999

I'm living

Speaker:
2249

01:57:40,999 --> 01:57:41,409

Marc Preston: there with you.

Speaker:
2250

01:57:41,409 --> 01:57:43,609

I'm the biggest surfer nerd

that hasn't surfed before.

Speaker:
2251

01:57:43,609 --> 01:57:45,909

And I've got people offering

me boards to go out here.

Speaker:
2252

01:57:45,909 --> 01:57:47,219

Cause I'm like two seconds.

Speaker:
2253

01:57:47,289 --> 01:57:48,039

I mean, like cross.

Speaker:
2254

01:57:48,179 --> 01:57:48,559

Oh yeah.

Speaker:
2255

01:57:48,559 --> 01:57:48,779

You've

Speaker:
2256

01:57:48,809 --> 01:57:50,929

Jordan Bridges: got the good

break right there probably.

Speaker:
2257

01:57:50,929 --> 01:57:51,219

Right.

Speaker:
2258

01:57:51,289 --> 01:57:56,909

Um, and uh, Yeah, but I so yes,

in this fantasy world, I would

Speaker:
2259

01:57:56,919 --> 01:58:00,059

be a, an accomplished surfer

as well as martial artist.

Speaker:
2260

01:58:00,489 --> 01:58:06,579

And we would, we would have this wonderful

morning of, uh, of, of educating ourselves

Speaker:
2261

01:58:06,579 --> 01:58:12,449

and, and sort of, and then we would

meditate Um, and that would be amazing.

Speaker:
2262

01:58:12,939 --> 01:58:17,349

And then we would all cook together,

and at this point, all of my

Speaker:
2263

01:58:17,769 --> 01:58:19,659

favorite people would arrive.

Speaker:
2264

01:58:19,979 --> 01:58:24,789

And we would have this extraordinarily

long, like, four hour lunch that kind

Speaker:
2265

01:58:24,789 --> 01:58:31,909

of, Goes into dinner and, uh, as the

sun sets, we would all break out guitars

Speaker:
2266

01:58:31,909 --> 01:58:34,929

and play music and it would be amazing.

Speaker:
2267

01:58:34,949 --> 01:58:38,649

We'd have, have this incredibly

long, beautiful jam session.

Speaker:
2268

01:58:39,239 --> 01:58:45,669

Um, and then, uh, and then the, as

the sun sets, there would be someone

Speaker:
2269

01:58:45,669 --> 01:58:49,239

who would set up an incredible

screen and we would have like a movie

Speaker:
2270

01:58:49,239 --> 01:58:51,289

night and screen some great music.

Speaker:
2271

01:58:51,624 --> 01:58:53,024

Some great movies.

Speaker:
2272

01:58:53,564 --> 01:58:59,534

Uh, and then, you know, just, uh,

fall asleep there under the stars

Speaker:
2273

01:58:59,544 --> 01:59:01,524

surrounded by all the people who I love.

Speaker:
2274

01:59:01,544 --> 01:59:01,954

That is

Speaker:
2275

01:59:02,034 --> 01:59:02,674

Marc Preston: awesome.

Speaker:
2276

01:59:02,694 --> 01:59:06,244

I, that is, uh, that is something

that I think is, you know, people

Speaker:
2277

01:59:06,244 --> 01:59:10,414

are kind of what make it, you know,

for me, you know, that's, uh, and

Speaker:
2278

01:59:10,414 --> 01:59:12,164

Jordan Bridges: making,

I, I love the thing.

Speaker:
2279

01:59:12,284 --> 01:59:13,664

That's why I love cooking with.

Speaker:
2280

01:59:13,869 --> 01:59:19,089

Friends and family and, uh, uh, and

also any kind of, I love making things

Speaker:
2281

01:59:19,089 --> 01:59:21,409

together with people who you care about.

Speaker:
2282

01:59:21,449 --> 01:59:23,599

There's something kind

of wonderful about that.

Speaker:
2283

01:59:23,639 --> 01:59:29,309

Um, and so, yeah, my perfect day

would definitely involve making stuff.

Speaker:
2284

01:59:29,624 --> 01:59:30,874

With people who I love.

Speaker:
2285

01:59:31,074 --> 01:59:31,514

Marc Preston: Awesome.

Speaker:
2286

01:59:31,884 --> 01:59:35,604

Now, the next question is if you weren't

doing this, if somebody said, Hey, you

Speaker:
2287

01:59:35,604 --> 01:59:38,284

know, Jordan, you're not going to be

able to earn a living doing this thing.

Speaker:
2288

01:59:38,284 --> 01:59:40,664

This is not part of

your ecosystem anymore.

Speaker:
2289

01:59:41,024 --> 01:59:44,104

Where would you go in terms

of like career vocation?

Speaker:
2290

01:59:44,104 --> 01:59:46,235

What would, what would be the jam for you?

Speaker:
2291

01:59:48,184 --> 01:59:48,444

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

Speaker:
2292

01:59:48,444 --> 01:59:52,244

I mean, if I've thought about the,

and the thing is like a lot of this

Speaker:
2293

01:59:52,244 --> 01:59:57,679

stuff, if I were to like, You know,

try and write another path for myself.

Speaker:
2294

01:59:57,869 --> 02:00:03,709

Um, many of the things that I'm interested

in would also be just as challenging

Speaker:
2295

02:00:03,709 --> 02:00:07,879

and, and kind of a, a very small hoop

to try and get the ball through, but

Speaker:
2296

02:00:07,879 --> 02:00:12,319

like, I would love, I, you know, I

definitely have had fantasies about

Speaker:
2297

02:00:12,359 --> 02:00:16,769

being a, you know, working in radio, I

think would be really fun and exciting.

Speaker:
2298

02:00:17,099 --> 02:00:21,569

Um, I would like to be a songwriter.

Speaker:
2299

02:00:21,829 --> 02:00:24,469

but not necessarily a touring musician.

Speaker:
2300

02:00:24,539 --> 02:00:27,969

So like I would love the thing of

like selling songs that I've written

Speaker:
2301

02:00:28,379 --> 02:00:29,949

to artists who I really love.

Speaker:
2302

02:00:30,019 --> 02:00:32,049

That would be really exciting to me.

Speaker:
2303

02:00:32,579 --> 02:00:35,729

Um, and I, any particular genre,

Speaker:
2304

02:00:35,739 --> 02:00:37,149

Marc Preston: do you

think, is there any genre?

Speaker:
2305

02:00:38,069 --> 02:00:42,229

Jordan Bridges: I, you know, I, cause I

do, I write, um, and it tends to come out

Speaker:
2306

02:00:42,269 --> 02:00:45,649

kind of a folky, but that's, I don't know.

Speaker:
2307

02:00:45,649 --> 02:00:50,374

That's just sort of how the, Muse

expresses herself through me.

Speaker:
2308

02:00:50,424 --> 02:00:58,954

Um, but, uh, yeah, like if, you

know, fantasize about, you know,

Speaker:
2309

02:01:00,724 --> 02:01:06,334

yeah, like, like have selling a song

to, you know, an incredible artist.

Speaker:
2310

02:01:06,504 --> 02:01:07,644

Oh, the fun of that is,

Speaker:
2311

02:01:07,644 --> 02:01:10,894

Marc Preston: is like writing a

screenplay and it's being acted by just

Speaker:
2312

02:01:10,914 --> 02:01:11,604

Jordan Bridges: great actor.

Speaker:
2313

02:01:11,604 --> 02:01:13,544

That's the other thing I would like to do.

Speaker:
2314

02:01:13,594 --> 02:01:18,804

I would love to have, you know, sold

something that I, cause I have like a

Speaker:
2315

02:01:19,739 --> 02:01:26,079

Unproduced screenplays and, uh, pitches

and, you know, all kinds of stuff.

Speaker:
2316

02:01:26,079 --> 02:01:31,509

And I, I would have loved if some of

that had kind of caught, you know,

Speaker:
2317

02:01:31,709 --> 02:01:34,239

caught wind and, and coalesced.

Speaker:
2318

02:01:34,289 --> 02:01:40,509

Um, that would probably be Yeah,

to be like a writing producer

Speaker:
2319

02:01:41,379 --> 02:01:42,599

would have been exciting.

Speaker:
2320

02:01:42,699 --> 02:01:44,869

Um, well, the fun thing about that is it's

Speaker:
2321

02:01:44,879 --> 02:01:47,069

Marc Preston: still something

that could be on the agenda.

Speaker:
2322

02:01:47,149 --> 02:01:52,539

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, no, it's yeah, I,

at this point, like I've, I've stopped

Speaker:
2323

02:01:53,199 --> 02:01:58,269

actively chasing it, but I'm still kind

of working, like I'm still doing it.

Speaker:
2324

02:01:58,489 --> 02:02:04,669

Um, so I'm kind of hoping I'm kind of,

I've been playing around with, um, the

Speaker:
2325

02:02:04,669 --> 02:02:11,599

whole idea of sort of more manifestation

than striving, you know, kind of putting

Speaker:
2326

02:02:11,599 --> 02:02:13,239

the energy out into the universe.

Speaker:
2327

02:02:13,239 --> 02:02:18,079

And, and then when it answers you,

you know, going wherever it's taking.

Speaker:
2328

02:02:18,079 --> 02:02:18,339

Yeah,

Speaker:
2329

02:02:18,749 --> 02:02:20,709

Marc Preston: I totally

identify with that.

Speaker:
2330

02:02:20,719 --> 02:02:24,679

Where you've got the focus, you know,

where you're putting your energy,

Speaker:
2331

02:02:24,719 --> 02:02:27,684

but you're letting it, you know, It,

it's sort of like, uh, cultivating

Speaker:
2332

02:02:27,684 --> 02:02:30,194

something in a garden, you know, you're

doing everything you're planning, you

Speaker:
2333

02:02:30,194 --> 02:02:31,384

know, and you're letting it happen.

Speaker:
2334

02:02:31,384 --> 02:02:31,704

You're not

Speaker:
2335

02:02:31,704 --> 02:02:35,644

Jordan Bridges: as worried, you're not

as worried about, uh, you know, if you're

Speaker:
2336

02:02:35,644 --> 02:02:40,124

think going in the garden, uh, metaphor,

you know, you're not particularly worried

Speaker:
2337

02:02:40,124 --> 02:02:43,114

about, uh, bringing that fruit to Marcet.

Speaker:
2338

02:02:43,604 --> 02:02:48,594

You know, you're not relying on

selling your tomatoes, you know,

Speaker:
2339

02:02:48,614 --> 02:02:52,514

at the, uh, at the farmer's Marcet

or, or on the side of the road.

Speaker:
2340

02:02:52,874 --> 02:02:55,944

Um, You're doing it because

you love to grow tomatoes.

Speaker:
2341

02:02:56,684 --> 02:03:03,934

And then you, then what's a, you know,

if you follow that, in theory, uh,

Speaker:
2342

02:03:03,944 --> 02:03:07,814

somebody will come over to your house,

taste one of your tomatoes and be

Speaker:
2343

02:03:07,814 --> 02:03:10,894

blown away and be like, Oh my God, I

have to have these in my restaurant.

Speaker:
2344

02:03:11,344 --> 02:03:14,604

And then all of a sudden you have

a little side gig growing tomatoes

Speaker:
2345

02:03:14,604 --> 02:03:15,534

for your favorite restaurant.

Speaker:
2346

02:03:15,804 --> 02:03:18,794

So it's like, that's the kind of,

that's the kind of thing I try

Speaker:
2347

02:03:18,834 --> 02:03:23,384

to manifest with all of the ways

that I express my creativity and.

Speaker:
2348

02:03:23,954 --> 02:03:26,084

And just being a human

being, isn't that, isn't that

Speaker:
2349

02:03:26,084 --> 02:03:30,474

Marc Preston: something that's kind of

come that has sort of evolved with age a

Speaker:
2350

02:03:30,474 --> 02:03:34,304

little bit, you know, you don't hold on

as tight, you'd, you'd kind of let some

Speaker:
2351

02:03:34,304 --> 02:03:37,744

things kind of be, but you kind of guide

the direction a little bit, you know,

Speaker:
2352

02:03:37,744 --> 02:03:40,514

where you're younger, you just need it

then you need it now you need to, you

Speaker:
2353

02:03:40,514 --> 02:03:44,474

know, you're, you're, you got an imaginary

clock in your mind there, it's got to

Speaker:
2354

02:03:44,474 --> 02:03:46,464

happen in this timeframe or something.

Speaker:
2355

02:03:46,979 --> 02:03:50,959

Jordan Bridges: Sure, and I think

also, like, we, we like to think

Speaker:
2356

02:03:50,979 --> 02:03:55,519

that we have a lot more control

than we actually do over anything.

Speaker:
2357

02:03:55,589 --> 02:03:59,539

Um, and I think, I

think will is important.

Speaker:
2358

02:03:59,779 --> 02:04:03,809

I think it's important to have

intention, and, and know what

Speaker:
2359

02:04:03,839 --> 02:04:06,339

you want, know what you're after.

Speaker:
2360

02:04:06,679 --> 02:04:12,959

But I think, uh, I think sometimes

having, you know, trying to like lay out

Speaker:
2361

02:04:12,959 --> 02:04:17,939

a roadmap for yourself or also pattern

yourself on what somebody else has done,

Speaker:
2362

02:04:18,209 --> 02:04:22,779

that's only going to be a recipe for,

you know, despair because you'll never,

Speaker:
2363

02:04:22,949 --> 02:04:24,249

Marc Preston: they've already,

they've already done it.

Speaker:
2364

02:04:24,299 --> 02:04:26,629

So they've already done it that way.

Speaker:
2365

02:04:26,629 --> 02:04:32,499

But yeah, no, um, the last question

I've got for you here is if, is

Speaker:
2366

02:04:32,659 --> 02:04:34,949

kind of sort of tethers into the

same idea, but if you're going to.

Speaker:
2367

02:04:35,574 --> 02:04:36,804

Jump into that DeLorean.

Speaker:
2368

02:04:36,814 --> 02:04:39,224

You could go back in time and

you can have a chat with you for

Speaker:
2369

02:04:39,224 --> 02:04:41,004

a few minutes at 16 years old.

Speaker:
2370

02:04:41,414 --> 02:04:47,344

What piece of advice or guidance would

you be handing to 16 year old you?

Speaker:
2371

02:04:49,994 --> 02:04:56,114

Jordan Bridges: Well, I have a much so

that, that, uh, percolates, uh, and, uh,

Speaker:
2372

02:04:56,794 --> 02:04:58,764

hits an interesting nerve with me cause.

Speaker:
2373

02:04:59,474 --> 02:05:03,624

So I want to answer the question,

then I'll go into the sidebar.

Speaker:
2374

02:05:03,894 --> 02:05:04,494

Um,

Speaker:
2375

02:05:07,214 --> 02:05:14,314

I think that, and I think of in terms of

giving advice, um, I sort of more think

Speaker:
2376

02:05:14,314 --> 02:05:22,389

of, uh, Myself kind of in my 20s after I'd

kind of like been like, okay, I think I

Speaker:
2377

02:05:22,389 --> 02:05:28,509

want to be an actor Um, and I think that

I would say just take it all a little

Speaker:
2378

02:05:28,509 --> 02:05:32,719

bit less seriously um Have more fun.

Speaker:
2379

02:05:33,719 --> 02:05:39,889

Um Because I I was sort of trying I

was thinking of myself as I wanted to

Speaker:
2380

02:05:39,889 --> 02:05:42,609

model myself more like Daniel Day Lewis.

Speaker:
2381

02:05:42,609 --> 02:05:45,789

I wanted, you know, greatest of a

generation, you know, I had all these

Speaker:
2382

02:05:45,789 --> 02:05:53,349

sort of ambitions about being an

amazing actor and, um, uh, and really

Speaker:
2383

02:05:53,349 --> 02:05:56,199

like, you know, meaning something.

Speaker:
2384

02:05:56,724 --> 02:06:02,754

Um, and it in turn, I think I, I

didn't have as much fun as I probably

Speaker:
2385

02:06:02,754 --> 02:06:06,924

could have had or should have had,

um, just in, even in the work.

Speaker:
2386

02:06:07,014 --> 02:06:11,494

Um, so yeah, take it all a little

bit less seriously is probably what

Speaker:
2387

02:06:11,494 --> 02:06:13,254

I would advise my younger self.

Speaker:
2388

02:06:13,934 --> 02:06:19,224

Um, but at the same time, uh,

have more respect for yourself.

Speaker:
2389

02:06:19,674 --> 02:06:23,244

Um, the sidebar is that.

Speaker:
2390

02:06:23,519 --> 02:06:29,059

When I was in my sort of later, mid to

late twenties, I actually started this

Speaker:
2391

02:06:29,069 --> 02:06:31,889

project called conversations with myself.

Speaker:
2392

02:06:32,979 --> 02:06:41,469

Uh, where I picked questions out of

a hat for my present self on camera

Speaker:
2393

02:06:41,499 --> 02:06:45,169

and I answered those questions

that other people had written.

Speaker:
2394

02:06:46,239 --> 02:06:50,259

And then the, and then at the end of

the session, I asked questions of my

Speaker:
2395

02:06:50,259 --> 02:06:55,949

future self and, um, the idea being

that it would be this dialogue that

Speaker:
2396

02:06:55,949 --> 02:06:57,329

I would have for the rest of my life.

Speaker:
2397

02:06:57,979 --> 02:07:00,369

But of course I shot

it on like high eight.

Speaker:
2398

02:07:01,064 --> 02:07:04,844

You know, little mini tapes and

there's no way, like I don't

Speaker:
2399

02:07:04,844 --> 02:07:06,804

even know where they are now.

Speaker:
2400

02:07:07,034 --> 02:07:12,304

And so I, I kind of let the project go,

but I really regret that because I wish

Speaker:
2401

02:07:12,334 --> 02:07:14,404

I could be having that conversation.

Speaker:
2402

02:07:14,424 --> 02:07:16,254

I mean, I think that's the amazing thing.

Speaker:
2403

02:07:16,494 --> 02:07:16,674

Did

Speaker:
2404

02:07:16,674 --> 02:07:18,614

Marc Preston: you ever do

journaling or any, I never did that.

Speaker:
2405

02:07:18,624 --> 02:07:20,114

And I kind of wish I did.

Speaker:
2406

02:07:20,115 --> 02:07:21,134

Speaker:
2407

02:07:21,134 --> 02:07:23,624

Jordan Bridges: have those old

journals and it's cringy, you

Speaker:
2408

02:07:23,624 --> 02:07:27,404

know, when you open them up and

you're like, Oh God, you know, man,

Speaker:
2409

02:07:27,804 --> 02:07:29,344

Marc Preston: especially when you run.

Speaker:
2410

02:07:29,429 --> 02:07:33,199

Across one you wrote to a girl you

were into, and you, you find this

Speaker:
2411

02:07:33,319 --> 02:07:37,199

thing that you, you never gave it to

her, but you wrote it and like, oh.

Speaker:
2412

02:07:37,289 --> 02:07:38,219

I'm like, oh, Marc.

Speaker:
2413

02:07:38,279 --> 02:07:38,609

Really?

Speaker:
2414

02:07:38,609 --> 02:07:38,909

Dude?

Speaker:
2415

02:07:39,029 --> 02:07:40,919

It's like . You know,

you kinda said, yeah.

Speaker:
2416

02:07:41,159 --> 02:07:43,289

Jordan Bridges: Or like, thank

God you didn't give it to her.

Speaker:
2417

02:07:43,289 --> 02:07:43,529

Marc.

Speaker:
2418

02:07:43,529 --> 02:07:43,589

Yeah.

Speaker:
2419

02:07:43,594 --> 02:07:43,754

Yeah.

Speaker:
2420

02:07:43,889 --> 02:07:44,999

I mean, there's that too.

Speaker:
2421

02:07:45,059 --> 02:07:47,694

Um, you know, uh, I.

Speaker:
2422

02:07:48,774 --> 02:07:53,444

That's the thing though, is that

with technology now we can do that.

Speaker:
2423

02:07:53,454 --> 02:07:56,134

Like that's what's kind of

incredible is that like you

Speaker:
2424

02:07:56,134 --> 02:07:59,644

can, you can lay stuff down now.

Speaker:
2425

02:07:59,984 --> 02:08:05,054

Um, and then, and then have that, you can

have a conversation with your past self.

Speaker:
2426

02:08:05,404 --> 02:08:07,444

Marc Preston: You know, that's

such a beautiful idea that that's a

Speaker:
2427

02:08:07,444 --> 02:08:11,364

gift that you could give a younger

guy or gal get to say, Hey, just

Speaker:
2428

02:08:11,364 --> 02:08:12,544

make these notes to yourself.

Speaker:
2429

02:08:12,544 --> 02:08:16,334

What are you curious about in the future,

but where you're at, you know, you said

Speaker:
2430

02:08:16,334 --> 02:08:19,904

that this are these questions that your

friends would give you to ask yourself.

Speaker:
2431

02:08:19,904 --> 02:08:21,154

You said that somebody else,

Speaker:
2432

02:08:21,194 --> 02:08:26,304

Jordan Bridges: well, it was, uh, so we, I

did this thing, um, and it was a one time

Speaker:
2433

02:08:26,304 --> 02:08:30,419

only thing, uh, I called it an art tank.

Speaker:
2434

02:08:30,709 --> 02:08:40,209

Um, and the idea was that a group of

us would create work around a theme.

Speaker:
2435

02:08:40,599 --> 02:08:42,729

So kind of like in a,

you know, a think tank.

Speaker:
2436

02:08:42,729 --> 02:08:47,119

When you think of a think tank,

they're all there to have discussions

Speaker:
2437

02:08:47,119 --> 02:08:50,572

and intellectual conversations

about, I was thinking like what

Speaker:
2438

02:08:50,577 --> 02:08:51,139

some people call a particular

Speaker:
2439

02:08:51,139 --> 02:08:51,619

Marc Preston: problem.

Speaker:
2440

02:08:52,249 --> 02:08:53,359

Isn't that kinda the same

Speaker:
2441

02:08:53,359 --> 02:08:53,899

Jordan Bridges: idea?

Speaker:
2442

02:08:53,929 --> 02:08:54,139

Yeah.

Speaker:
2443

02:08:54,139 --> 02:08:55,099

Like a salon.

Speaker:
2444

02:08:55,159 --> 02:08:56,689

Yeah, it was like a salon.

Speaker:
2445

02:08:56,749 --> 02:09:00,719

And, um, and so this would've been.

Speaker:
2446

02:09:02,029 --> 02:09:04,649

Two 99 around there.

Speaker:
2447

02:09:04,709 --> 02:09:11,079

Um, and, uh, our theme was emergence.

Speaker:
2448

02:09:11,629 --> 02:09:14,239

And so we were all hanging out.

Speaker:
2449

02:09:14,379 --> 02:09:16,099

It was a group of about five of us.

Speaker:
2450

02:09:16,249 --> 02:09:23,219

Uh, and we all brought different kinds

of projects to the, to the meeting or

Speaker:
2451

02:09:23,219 --> 02:09:24,839

to the time it was for about a week.

Speaker:
2452

02:09:25,549 --> 02:09:28,889

And, um, this was one of

the ones I was really keen.

Speaker:
2453

02:09:29,609 --> 02:09:33,699

And so each of us wrote down

questions and then put them in a hat.

Speaker:
2454

02:09:35,139 --> 02:09:38,569

And then we would, we would draw

them on camera and answer them.

Speaker:
2455

02:09:38,569 --> 02:09:39,139

That was how that

Speaker:
2456

02:09:39,139 --> 02:09:39,239

Marc Preston: works.

Speaker:
2457

02:09:39,239 --> 02:09:41,949

That's such a cool, cool idea.

Speaker:
2458

02:09:41,949 --> 02:09:46,259

It's a, it's, it's a perfect time capsule,

you know, because it has you contemplating

Speaker:
2459

02:09:46,499 --> 02:09:48,219

the future, you know, and, and.

Speaker:
2460

02:09:48,219 --> 02:09:48,599

Yeah.

Speaker:
2461

02:09:48,769 --> 02:09:51,189

Jordan Bridges: And we were all,

all of us were kind of like on the.

Speaker:
2462

02:09:51,379 --> 02:09:54,979

Cusp of either career stuff or life stuff.

Speaker:
2463

02:09:55,289 --> 02:09:58,749

No one was married yet, um,

or had kids or anything.

Speaker:
2464

02:09:58,749 --> 02:10:00,049

It was, it was interesting.

Speaker:
2465

02:10:00,099 --> 02:10:01,029

Marc Preston: Um, so wild.

Speaker:
2466

02:10:01,029 --> 02:10:04,709

Cause it seems like your, your

benchMarcs, your timeline, I don't know.

Speaker:
2467

02:10:04,709 --> 02:10:06,019

I'm just going to say it kind of hits.

Speaker:
2468

02:10:06,449 --> 02:10:11,619

The same with me, like 88, uh, 90, I'm

sorry, 98, somewhere between 25 and 27.

Speaker:
2469

02:10:11,619 --> 02:10:15,749

I think you hit that, there's kind of

a, after you hit 25, I think something

Speaker:
2470

02:10:15,749 --> 02:10:19,339

kind of engages and you're really

thinking about the future, you know?

Speaker:
2471

02:10:19,549 --> 02:10:20,179

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

Speaker:
2472

02:10:20,359 --> 02:10:20,719

Yeah.

Speaker:
2473

02:10:20,739 --> 02:10:22,549

I was thinking about the future.

Speaker:
2474

02:10:22,579 --> 02:10:27,219

I hadn't, uh, started dating

my wife yet at that point.

Speaker:
2475

02:10:27,319 --> 02:10:27,979

Um, Yeah.

Speaker:
2476

02:10:27,980 --> 02:10:27,999

Yeah.

Speaker:
2477

02:10:29,159 --> 02:10:30,779

And all of that was like, right.

Speaker:
2478

02:10:30,819 --> 02:10:34,419

It's what's wild is that in

retrospect, it was all kind of

Speaker:
2479

02:10:34,419 --> 02:10:36,419

like right there about to happen.

Speaker:
2480

02:10:36,589 --> 02:10:40,499

And I had no idea, um, what was coming.

Speaker:
2481

02:10:40,559 --> 02:10:43,719

Um, but also it's interesting.

Speaker:
2482

02:10:44,239 --> 02:10:49,439

It's just in terms of like thinking

about projects and, you know, never

Speaker:
2483

02:10:49,719 --> 02:10:53,049

co let this or that thing never really

happened the way I thought it would or.

Speaker:
2484

02:10:53,354 --> 02:11:00,184

Wish it had, uh, it all kind of, it all

happens for the reason, uh, the timing

Speaker:
2485

02:11:00,184 --> 02:11:03,244

is, you know, not up to you ultimately.

Speaker:
2486

02:11:03,644 --> 02:11:08,534

And, um, it's all ephemeral, you

know, all of this is ephemeral.

Speaker:
2487

02:11:09,054 --> 02:11:11,424

Nothing is, uh, is forever.

Speaker:
2488

02:11:11,934 --> 02:11:14,105

Um, it all changes.

Speaker:
2489

02:11:14,115 --> 02:11:15,165

It all evolves.

Speaker:
2490

02:11:15,475 --> 02:11:22,014

And that's something I've been working

through a lot is if you think of.

Speaker:
2491

02:11:22,490 --> 02:11:26,970

Everything is nothing being fixed,

nothing being certain that makes it all

Speaker:
2492

02:11:26,970 --> 02:11:31,090

the more precious like Alan Watts said,

it's, it's, none of this is serious, you

Speaker:
2493

02:11:31,090 --> 02:11:34,299

Marc Preston: know, and we

assign the seriousness to it.

Speaker:
2494

02:11:34,309 --> 02:11:36,519

I mean, some things you are important.

Speaker:
2495

02:11:36,559 --> 02:11:40,159

You got me, of course, but I mean, the

whole idea that every single moment

Speaker:
2496

02:11:40,160 --> 02:11:44,550

is some, you know, this thing, it's

gotta be something big and grandiose.

Speaker:
2497

02:11:44,940 --> 02:11:45,390

It's.

Speaker:
2498

02:11:45,625 --> 02:11:48,645

You know, it's fatiguing after a

while, and I think your twenties are

Speaker:
2499

02:11:48,645 --> 02:11:52,665

designed to, you know, you kind of wear

yourself out on like the thinking part.

Speaker:
2500

02:11:52,665 --> 02:11:54,825

Then you like, you get older

and you're like, fuck it.

Speaker:
2501

02:11:54,855 --> 02:11:58,054

You know, it's like, I'm going to just

kind of, you can't control the wave.

Speaker:
2502

02:11:58,335 --> 02:11:58,745

Jordan Bridges: Yeah.

Speaker:
2503

02:11:59,244 --> 02:12:01,134

No, you can't control the wave.

Speaker:
2504

02:12:01,135 --> 02:12:03,894

You got to just ride it

or let it crash over you.

Speaker:
2505

02:12:04,065 --> 02:12:08,255

And, uh, you know, I think where you

get, if you think about the surfing

Speaker:
2506

02:12:08,255 --> 02:12:15,290

analogy, Where you get kind of fucked

is if you see the big set coming in and

Speaker:
2507

02:12:15,290 --> 02:12:16,750

you're like, Oh, that's too much for me.

Speaker:
2508

02:12:16,750 --> 02:12:17,580

I can't handle it.

Speaker:
2509

02:12:17,620 --> 02:12:19,540

And then you start swimming back to shore.

Speaker:
2510

02:12:20,540 --> 02:12:21,820

Uh, you're done.

Speaker:
2511

02:12:21,990 --> 02:12:25,129

If you try to, if you turn your

back on that wave and you swim

Speaker:
2512

02:12:25,139 --> 02:12:26,819

back, you're going to get whopped.

Speaker:
2513

02:12:27,499 --> 02:12:32,360

Um, and that's a great lesson that

the ocean has taught me is that

Speaker:
2514

02:12:32,360 --> 02:12:34,410

you always got to keep your eye on.

Speaker:
2515

02:12:34,775 --> 02:12:35,975

On what's coming in.

Speaker:
2516

02:12:36,015 --> 02:12:41,185

And, and sometimes you actually, the

best thing, the healthiest thing to

Speaker:
2517

02:12:41,185 --> 02:12:46,295

do is just dive and just relax and

let it wash over you rather than.

Speaker:
2518

02:12:46,970 --> 02:12:51,890

Think that either you can catch

it and surf it or that, or try

Speaker:
2519

02:12:51,890 --> 02:12:53,640

to escape and try to run away.

Speaker:
2520

02:12:53,700 --> 02:12:55,460

Cause if you run away,

you're going to get hurt.

Speaker:
2521

02:12:55,620 --> 02:12:56,550

Greg, I don't

Speaker:
2522

02:12:56,550 --> 02:12:58,919

Marc Preston: know if you knew

Greg, Noel is big wave surfer.

Speaker:
2523

02:12:58,919 --> 02:12:59,560

The bowl.

Speaker:
2524

02:12:59,579 --> 02:13:03,690

He was, you know, there's a documentary

called, um, riding giants, riding giants.

Speaker:
2525

02:13:03,699 --> 02:13:03,859

Yeah.

Speaker:
2526

02:13:03,859 --> 02:13:06,699

I got actually got the movie poster

framed over here and had a Greg,

Speaker:
2527

02:13:06,700 --> 02:13:09,150

Greg Noel sign it and Laird Hamilton.

Speaker:
2528

02:13:10,120 --> 02:13:11,220

He was talking about it.

Speaker:
2529

02:13:11,220 --> 02:13:14,210

He said, uh, he's talking about

why may I go and surfing that.

Speaker:
2530

02:13:14,230 --> 02:13:17,885

And he said, He said, you go out

there and you, you got to treat,

Speaker:
2531

02:13:18,005 --> 02:13:21,125

treat, you said her, you know,

talking about the wave breaking the

Speaker:
2532

02:13:21,125 --> 02:13:22,505

ocean, he's treat her with respect.

Speaker:
2533

02:13:22,525 --> 02:13:25,524

Cause if you don't, you turn your back on

her, she's going to spank you, you know,

Speaker:
2534

02:13:25,525 --> 02:13:29,395

she's going to, you know, teach a little

lesson and that's kind of, you know,

Speaker:
2535

02:13:29,395 --> 02:13:33,474

that idea that you're in this thing, it's

constantly in motion and I think that's,

Speaker:
2536

02:13:33,515 --> 02:13:39,055

uh, being a parent has got, you know,

it's a lot of the same, you know, um, but

Speaker:
2537

02:13:39,455 --> 02:13:42,415

as far as, uh, future, you know, what.

Speaker:
2538

02:13:42,890 --> 02:13:47,100

You, you mentioned, um, uh, Palm Royale,

uh, but what else are you working on?

Speaker:
2539

02:13:47,100 --> 02:13:50,180

What, what is on either, you know,

it's kind of locked in and you're

Speaker:
2540

02:13:50,180 --> 02:13:52,240

doing it or kind of some things

you're kind of wanting, you know,

Speaker:
2541

02:13:52,259 --> 02:13:54,900

that are coming together for you

or you'd like to come together for,

Speaker:
2542

02:13:54,900 --> 02:13:58,419

Jordan Bridges: I mean, well, that's,

I got those, those are the Palm Royale

Speaker:
2543

02:13:58,419 --> 02:14:01,480

and, uh, and Den of these Pantera.

Speaker:
2544

02:14:01,950 --> 02:14:06,440

Those are the two, um, that I'm

excited about that are coming out.

Speaker:
2545

02:14:06,440 --> 02:14:07,400

I'm not even sure.

Speaker:
2546

02:14:07,430 --> 02:14:10,030

Cause Pomeroy, all I'm very much

in the midst of it right now.

Speaker:
2547

02:14:10,030 --> 02:14:11,340

Like we're, we're shooting.

Speaker:
2548

02:14:12,009 --> 02:14:18,099

Um, and so I don't, and the last

time the release didn't come until

Speaker:
2549

02:14:18,100 --> 02:14:19,669

like a year after we wrapped.

Speaker:
2550

02:14:19,680 --> 02:14:23,300

So I, I'm not even sure when it

will be released at this point.

Speaker:
2551

02:14:23,720 --> 02:14:29,580

Uh, But what I can say is that

the work has been really fun.

Speaker:
2552

02:14:29,830 --> 02:14:35,770

I'm, my character, Perry Donahue is

going to factor much more into the show

Speaker:
2553

02:14:35,770 --> 02:14:38,360

than, uh, he did in the first season.

Speaker:
2554

02:14:38,710 --> 02:14:40,040

So I'm excited about that.

Speaker:
2555

02:14:40,040 --> 02:14:44,619

They've been writing a lot of

really wild, fun stuff for me to do.

Speaker:
2556

02:14:44,890 --> 02:14:48,930

Um, I think I'm not giving

anything away when I can say I.

Speaker:
2557

02:14:50,195 --> 02:14:56,625

In one, one episode, I don a pair

of antlers attached to a football

Speaker:
2558

02:14:56,635 --> 02:15:04,835

helmet and, uh, participate in a

rutting ritual of the stag club.

Speaker:
2559

02:15:05,155 --> 02:15:07,105

That's, I'm not going to say anymore.

Speaker:
2560

02:15:07,114 --> 02:15:09,975

There's another scene

where I'm chased by a pig.

Speaker:
2561

02:15:10,495 --> 02:15:12,655

Um, so it's lots to look forward to.

Speaker:
2562

02:15:12,655 --> 02:15:13,835

Do you ever do this

stuff and go, you know, I

Speaker:
2563

02:15:13,835 --> 02:15:14,255

Marc Preston: do this.

Speaker:
2564

02:15:14,425 --> 02:15:16,855

You're in the midst of it going, yeah,

this is what I'm doing for a living.

Speaker:
2565

02:15:17,345 --> 02:15:18,805

And just like, this is my job.

Speaker:
2566

02:15:19,495 --> 02:15:21,205

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, this is my job.

Speaker:
2567

02:15:21,515 --> 02:15:26,265

Well, in that day, when I worked

with the pig, it was like, I

Speaker:
2568

02:15:26,265 --> 02:15:28,735

think I pulled like a 14 hour day.

Speaker:
2569

02:15:28,745 --> 02:15:32,124

It was a long day and very physical.

Speaker:
2570

02:15:32,124 --> 02:15:35,264

This pig was chasing me all

around hither and thither.

Speaker:
2571

02:15:35,824 --> 02:15:37,985

And I was, you know, sort of jumping.

Speaker:
2572

02:15:37,985 --> 02:15:41,685

I, I had painted myself into

the corner of like, I was really

Speaker:
2573

02:15:41,685 --> 02:15:42,804

excited about all this stuff.

Speaker:
2574

02:15:42,875 --> 02:15:43,245

Stuff.

Speaker:
2575

02:15:43,525 --> 02:15:47,895

I wanted to be very physical, you

know, I love physical actors and

Speaker:
2576

02:15:48,445 --> 02:15:51,925

I've always thought, you know,

I, I always wanted to do so.

Speaker:
2577

02:15:51,925 --> 02:15:57,085

I, I had pitched that and they bought

it and then I had to do it 30, 40 times.

Speaker:
2578

02:15:57,154 --> 02:15:58,064

Be careful what you wish for.

Speaker:
2579

02:15:58,455 --> 02:16:00,074

Yeah, no, exactly.

Speaker:
2580

02:16:00,074 --> 02:16:01,605

You gotta be very careful.

Speaker:
2581

02:16:01,605 --> 02:16:01,845

Did

Speaker:
2582

02:16:01,845 --> 02:16:02,754

Marc Preston: you have an opportunity?

Speaker:
2583

02:16:02,904 --> 02:16:06,415

Uh, yeah, it's still, it's still

on my list of stuff to check out.

Speaker:
2584

02:16:06,455 --> 02:16:07,174

Uh, I, I.

Speaker:
2585

02:16:07,635 --> 02:16:07,705

Check it out.

Speaker:
2586

02:16:07,845 --> 02:16:10,525

It's like the same thing with

slow horses started watching it.

Speaker:
2587

02:16:10,555 --> 02:16:13,265

I'm, I'm usually working on my

computer and laptop on the sofa.

Speaker:
2588

02:16:13,615 --> 02:16:16,094

It's one of those ones like

this needs my full attention.

Speaker:
2589

02:16:16,225 --> 02:16:19,255

You know, I'm going to enjoy this with

my, uh, but have you, did you have a

Speaker:
2590

02:16:19,255 --> 02:16:20,910

chance to work with Carol Burnett at all?

Speaker:
2591

02:16:21,425 --> 02:16:22,095

Jordan Bridges: Yes.

Speaker:
2592

02:16:22,135 --> 02:16:22,515

Okay.

Speaker:
2593

02:16:22,515 --> 02:16:24,604

That's another thing I didn't

get to talk about, but thank

Speaker:
2594

02:16:24,604 --> 02:16:26,804

you for prompting me, Carol.

Speaker:
2595

02:16:26,874 --> 02:16:28,734

Uh, I, I have got.

Speaker:
2596

02:16:29,570 --> 02:16:34,920

In both seasons now, I've got a chance

to work with Carol, um, and even,

Speaker:
2597

02:16:35,420 --> 02:16:40,230

you know, just in the little bit of

screen time and, you know, where I'm

Speaker:
2598

02:16:40,270 --> 02:16:47,139

actually playing with her, she's so

giving, so generous, such a wonderful

Speaker:
2599

02:16:47,149 --> 02:16:50,940

spirit, um, and gives everybody time.

Speaker:
2600

02:16:51,139 --> 02:16:55,320

You know, she, I, I, cause I couldn't

help myself, of course, every time

Speaker:
2601

02:16:55,730 --> 02:17:00,560

I've been lucky enough to be around

her, I have to, you know, I, I, I bow

Speaker:
2602

02:17:00,610 --> 02:17:06,189

to her when I see her, I'm like, you

know, can I get you anything, Carol?

Speaker:
2603

02:17:06,230 --> 02:17:07,529

Uh, how are you feeling?

Speaker:
2604

02:17:07,529 --> 02:17:12,459

You know, I, I feel so, such a

sense of respect and love for her.

Speaker:
2605

02:17:13,094 --> 02:17:19,584

Um, just as a fan, but, um, getting to

work with her, it's, yeah, it's huge.

Speaker:
2606

02:17:19,664 --> 02:17:20,824

Uh, it it's been

Speaker:
2607

02:17:20,824 --> 02:17:21,704

Marc Preston: extraordinary.

Speaker:
2608

02:17:21,724 --> 02:17:26,074

Her own brand of pioneer, you know,

she, she was, I mean, I remember, you

Speaker:
2609

02:17:26,074 --> 02:17:29,204

know, I'd always stay at my grandparents

house Friday nights when I was a kid

Speaker:
2610

02:17:29,204 --> 02:17:32,125

growing up, when we'd watch the Carol

Burnett show by then, I think it was

Speaker:
2611

02:17:32,474 --> 02:17:36,684

in reruns, you know, but it was like,

it was like, You can, again, you could

Speaker:
2612

02:17:36,695 --> 02:17:40,324

do, I mean, she and Tim Conway and

they're all like trying to screw with

Speaker:
2613

02:17:40,324 --> 02:17:41,484

each other, make each other laugh.

Speaker:
2614

02:17:41,514 --> 02:17:44,134

And when they would break, you

know, Harvey, you know, Corbin

Speaker:
2615

02:17:44,134 --> 02:17:45,375

and, uh, Harvey Corbin, right?

Speaker:
2616

02:17:45,375 --> 02:17:45,805

Yeah.

Speaker:
2617

02:17:46,084 --> 02:17:51,244

It was just that, oh my God, she was

for me to, to have still have her

Speaker:
2618

02:17:51,634 --> 02:17:55,465

around and kind of, you know, Spreading

her light or whatever, you know.

Speaker:
2619

02:17:55,794 --> 02:17:56,524

Jordan Bridges: Oh man.

Speaker:
2620

02:17:56,535 --> 02:18:01,044

And she's so energetic and,

uh, excited to be working.

Speaker:
2621

02:18:01,044 --> 02:18:07,615

And, um, yeah, I think she's a, a national

treasure, uh, or world treasure, really.

Speaker:
2622

02:18:07,624 --> 02:18:11,864

She's like a, it just,

it incredibly talented.

Speaker:
2623

02:18:11,964 --> 02:18:19,344

Um, and she was actually, uh, friends

with my grandparents, knew them socially.

Speaker:
2624

02:18:19,834 --> 02:18:22,244

And so that was something she, I was just.

Speaker:
2625

02:18:22,469 --> 02:18:26,509

Touched to hear and so

she had anecdotes of time.

Speaker:
2626

02:18:26,509 --> 02:18:27,339

Yeah, cool.

Speaker:
2627

02:18:27,339 --> 02:18:28,179

Marc Preston: Is that though,

Speaker:
2628

02:18:28,229 --> 02:18:28,439

Jordan Bridges: you

Speaker:
2629

02:18:28,439 --> 02:18:28,749

Marc Preston: know,

Speaker:
2630

02:18:28,819 --> 02:18:31,479

Jordan Bridges: yeah, it was amazing.

Speaker:
2631

02:18:31,579 --> 02:18:40,729

Um, and so, yeah, she's, uh,

has, I felt incredibly grateful.

Speaker:
2632

02:18:41,314 --> 02:18:45,904

To have had the opportunity to work

with her and, and spend time, spend

Speaker:
2633

02:18:45,904 --> 02:18:46,844

a little bit of time with her.

Speaker:
2634

02:18:46,844 --> 02:18:47,564

It's been great.

Speaker:
2635

02:18:47,874 --> 02:18:51,564

Marc Preston: To be able to, like I

said, bring stuff forward from your past.

Speaker:
2636

02:18:51,564 --> 02:18:56,454

Like I met somebody a few years back,

who a few years ago, over 10 years,

Speaker:
2637

02:18:56,454 --> 02:19:00,524

who knew not only my grandfather,

but he knew my great grandfather.

Speaker:
2638

02:19:00,524 --> 02:19:05,364

You know, you could tell me, it was just

a random meeting and, and he told me

Speaker:
2639

02:19:05,364 --> 02:19:09,574

some stories and just things that kind

of made me just feel really good because

Speaker:
2640

02:19:09,594 --> 02:19:13,554

he, you know, he, I remember one thing

he said, uh, that literally just came

Speaker:
2641

02:19:13,554 --> 02:19:15,874

back to me because I'm all about my kids.

Speaker:
2642

02:19:15,884 --> 02:19:17,265

I listen to anybody listen to show.

Speaker:
2643

02:19:17,265 --> 02:19:18,244

No, they come up a lot.

Speaker:
2644

02:19:18,554 --> 02:19:23,749

Uh, but the, uh, He said, he said, your

grandfather was just so about his kids.

Speaker:
2645

02:19:23,769 --> 02:19:24,829

He was just all about his kids.

Speaker:
2646

02:19:25,359 --> 02:19:26,299

And it kind of made me feel good.

Speaker:
2647

02:19:26,299 --> 02:19:31,779

It was somebody else's outside perspective

of my grandfather at an age that where I'm

Speaker:
2648

02:19:31,779 --> 02:19:34,539

at now, you're even a little younger, you

know, it was kind of cool to hear that.

Speaker:
2649

02:19:34,539 --> 02:19:38,139

But, uh, but as far as family goes,

uh, the last question I got for you.

Speaker:
2650

02:19:38,444 --> 02:19:42,574

Have you contemplated maybe doing

that kind of grand family project,

Speaker:
2651

02:19:42,584 --> 02:19:46,064

you know, that thing with your uncle,

your dad, even the kids, you know, to

Speaker:
2652

02:19:46,064 --> 02:19:51,704

kind of have something that kind of

gels it all together in one project.

Speaker:
2653

02:19:51,714 --> 02:19:54,444

Does that even come up or is that

something that you would like to do?

Speaker:
2654

02:19:55,274 --> 02:19:59,384

Jordan Bridges: Yeah, I mean, we, you

know, my dad actually made a list,

Speaker:
2655

02:19:59,694 --> 02:20:05,814

um, and it's pretty extraordinary of,

I think we have more than a hundred

Speaker:
2656

02:20:05,814 --> 02:20:09,534

credits where at least two of us.

Speaker:
2657

02:20:10,014 --> 02:20:12,364

Have been on the same project.

Speaker:
2658

02:20:12,844 --> 02:20:13,134

Marc Preston: Really?

Speaker:
2659

02:20:13,174 --> 02:20:15,054

Jordan Bridges: Um, yeah.

Speaker:
2660

02:20:15,274 --> 02:20:17,304

Uh, it's pretty extraordinary.

Speaker:
2661

02:20:17,364 --> 02:20:20,814

Um, and I love working with my family.

Speaker:
2662

02:20:21,204 --> 02:20:26,354

Um, I would love, I mean,

yes, the short answer is.

Speaker:
2663

02:20:26,954 --> 02:20:31,574

It would be amazing to

have a, a, a project.

Speaker:
2664

02:20:31,604 --> 02:20:37,444

I mean, the last, I think the last time

where that, that like Disney movie of

Speaker:
2665

02:20:37,444 --> 02:20:41,614

the week, I think was the last time where

there was that many of us on one thing.

Speaker:
2666

02:20:41,824 --> 02:20:48,284

Um, literally like my, my

younger brother was in Utero.

Speaker:
2667

02:20:49,394 --> 02:20:56,194

Uh, I think, uh, or no, maybe it

was my sister, one of them, my, my

Speaker:
2668

02:20:56,194 --> 02:21:00,764

stepmother, Wendy was pregnant, uh,

during it and she's in the movie.

Speaker:
2669

02:21:00,824 --> 02:21:04,924

Um, but, uh, I would love that.

Speaker:
2670

02:21:04,924 --> 02:21:13,964

I had a, you know, I have a concept

for, uh, like a family feud, um, movie.

Speaker:
2671

02:21:15,029 --> 02:21:19,429

I was percolating for a while

that kind of, I, I had roles

Speaker:
2672

02:21:19,429 --> 02:21:21,079

that I wrote for everybody.

Speaker:
2673

02:21:21,129 --> 02:21:30,189

Um, that's one, uh, very loosely

drawn and, you know, but yeah, I

Speaker:
2674

02:21:30,189 --> 02:21:31,999

would, the short answer is absolutely.

Speaker:
2675

02:21:31,999 --> 02:21:32,749

I would love that.

Speaker:
2676

02:21:32,769 --> 02:21:37,699

I, I've never really worked

properly, uh, with my sister,

Speaker:
2677

02:21:38,309 --> 02:21:41,339

um, or my younger brother, like.

Speaker:
2678

02:21:43,289 --> 02:21:45,379

Both of whom are actively in it still.

Speaker:
2679

02:21:45,409 --> 02:21:48,269

So I'd love to work with,

with either of them.

Speaker:
2680

02:21:48,349 --> 02:21:52,829

I finally got to work properly with

Jeff on the old man, which I was really,

Speaker:
2681

02:21:52,959 --> 02:21:53,499

Marc Preston: Oh, really?

Speaker:

2701

02:22:31,354 --> 02:22:31,694

Okay.

Speaker:
2702

02:22:31,694 --> 02:22:31,924

Okay.

02:22:33,205 --> 02:22:39,054

And we have like a nice scene over

like a lunch where he's trying to

Speaker:
2707

02:22:39,054 --> 02:22:43,164

get me to just free up the funds

and I'm kind of pushing back.

Speaker:
2708

02:22:43,714 --> 02:22:47,594

Um, and we had a really nice little

scene and then I got to work with Amy.

Speaker:
2709

02:22:47,774 --> 02:22:50,239

Um, A bit as well.

Speaker:
2710

02:22:50,249 --> 02:22:50,679

And that was,

Speaker:
2711

02:22:51,419 --> 02:22:54,059

Marc Preston: you know, that is,

that is somewhat of a physical role

Speaker:
2712

02:22:54,079 --> 02:22:55,249

for him, which is kind of cool.

Speaker:
2713

02:22:55,249 --> 02:23:00,379

You know, it's like, absolutely, because

he's, you start off the, it's the series.

Speaker:
2714

02:23:00,379 --> 02:23:02,269

I don't want to give anything away

for those who haven't seen it.

Speaker:
2715

02:23:02,269 --> 02:23:06,649

It's a great show, but you start

off, you think, Some older guy.

Speaker:
2716

02:23:06,649 --> 02:23:11,529

And then you, it really evolves into

like, it's any project, uh, that you're

Speaker:
2717

02:23:11,529 --> 02:23:15,389

your daddy or Jeffrey and I'll watch

it, you know, it's just, it's one

Speaker:
2718

02:23:15,449 --> 02:23:18,789

that there is some people that they

show up on the, uh, and the credits.

Speaker:
2719

02:23:18,789 --> 02:23:19,359

You're like, I got it.

Speaker:
2720

02:23:19,379 --> 02:23:22,229

I got to see it, you know, but

there's the old man, I love

Speaker:
2721

02:23:22,229 --> 02:23:22,579

Jordan Bridges: it.

Speaker:
2722

02:23:22,989 --> 02:23:24,189

I just love it as a comment.

Speaker:
2723

02:23:24,379 --> 02:23:24,849

Sorry.

Speaker:
2724

02:23:25,109 --> 02:23:29,159

I love, sorry to interrupt, but

I love it as a comment on, um,

Speaker:
2725

02:23:29,189 --> 02:23:35,049

on aging, like using the kind of

spy, you know, action espionage.

Speaker:
2726

02:23:35,704 --> 02:23:42,294

Uh, world as a way to kind of

talk about aging and, um, family.

Speaker:
2727

02:23:42,454 --> 02:23:45,414

I think it's really interesting

the way that they kind of

Speaker:
2728

02:23:45,494 --> 02:23:48,014

come around at making it.

Speaker:
2729

02:23:48,044 --> 02:23:52,024

It that's what I think the, when

the, to me, when the show is the

Speaker:
2730

02:23:52,024 --> 02:23:56,064

most exciting and interesting is,

is, is when they're getting into the

Speaker:
2731

02:23:56,064 --> 02:23:58,164

humanity of all of those characters.

Speaker:
2732

02:23:58,194 --> 02:24:00,614

Yeah, especially he and John

Lithgow's character because,

Speaker:
2733

02:24:00,624 --> 02:24:01,994

you know, him and Lithgow.

Speaker:
2734

02:24:01,994 --> 02:24:02,284

Yeah.

Speaker:
2735

02:24:02,284 --> 02:24:08,099

And how they're wrestling with the

past and, um, You know, dealing

Speaker:
2736

02:24:08,099 --> 02:24:11,559

with the consequences of the choices

they made when they were younger.

Speaker:
2737

02:24:11,559 --> 02:24:18,369

And, um, you know, and yeah, I

just, I think, uh, I think it's,

Speaker:
2738

02:24:18,429 --> 02:24:20,049

it's a really nice piece of work.

Speaker:
2739

02:24:20,049 --> 02:24:22,329

And I was just thrilled

to be a part of it.

Speaker:
2740

02:24:22,349 --> 02:24:23,169

Well, you've made me happy to

Speaker:
2741

02:24:23,509 --> 02:24:26,129

Marc Preston: let me know that, uh,

that Jeff likes, uh, he's got, he's

Speaker:
2742

02:24:26,129 --> 02:24:29,429

a fan of Alan Watts, you know, it's

kind of, I would love just to, I mean,

Speaker:
2743

02:24:29,669 --> 02:24:30,909

uh, contemporary age, contemporary, you

the great fortune of, you know, talking

Speaker:
2748

02:24:44,459 --> 02:24:47,589

to some folks been around this business
