I'm just going to sit back and let you guys admire each other's body parts. Okay. Uh, these arms, are you kidding me?
It's like I did notice your arms when you walked in.
Yours are fabulous as well.
That comment out. I don't like to show off.
He's like a CrossFit champion. I don't know if he. Double double uh champion. Is that for real?
That is not for real. No. I die every time I try to do that.
Which your thighs are lovely.
I have great thighs.
You do. You do. Do we want to film? Sure. Okay, hold on. It's like a weird territory. Oh, that oh you have an iPhone in there or something? Are you really solid?
That's my leg. That's my leg. I'm not an iPhone.
So Veronica Mars is back. And because of fans, because of Kickstarter, because of all this nuttiness. So I wanted to ask you, do people, I mean, I know you've had some fans and some people who sort of gave money, be extras in the film. Do they ask for favors? Like do you have to now give fans what they ask? Cause normally if a fan comes up to you, you don't owe them anything really. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you've given you money to make your film.
I've slept with 150 of them.
Have you really?
Yeah. Male and female. Uh, got 150 to go.
That's how I was going with that question. Jason, go ahead. Take this one.
Yeah, I mean Rob was really smart, you know, when he put this whole thing together, it wasn't just sort of on a whim or whatever, but uh, you know, it was cool for different levels. We we were giving the fans different prizes. So like for $50, they would get like a copy of the script. They'd get like a t-shirt.
That's good for $50.
Yeah, pretty good. And for 200 bucks.
And digital copy of the script. Okay. It wasn't actually a bound signed copy. I gotta print it out yourself, movie. Okay. And what else? What would else was given out?
Um, well, for $200 you could get a signed poster from all the cast. So we have to sign like 5500 posters. It's going to take us about two days at six seconds per signing.
Are you really signing them? Nobody else is signing them that for you?
No. No, we're not. Real stuff.
Okay. We did it. You're like the Jared Leto of actors. That's right. So talk about Jared Leto meeting and greeting all his fans.
Yeah, he definitely is somebody to look up to for his fan support. And for his hair.
And his for his.
Gorgeous hair.
Beautiful eyes. Penetrating.
How was the fresh take on the original? Or not the original, the the series.
I mean, I guess we're all like a lot older now, you know what I mean? So, you know, we started out in a convalescent home. We're all recovering. We're changing Ryan's diaper. Oh, it's a mess.
Yeah, I mean, it's a 10 year reunion. Veronica hasn't taken a case since uh the show. I my pop star girlfriend winds up murdered and I'm accused of number one suspect happens all the time. call her for help and this is my BFF who uh Dick. Yeah. Dick. He's the man. Right there. Stay. We started out as a with one word.
That's right. It was one word.
In San Diego. Show 'em that. Wait. Wait, wait. Can we do it? Yeah. Watch. You'll see why he got a series regular in the second season. Listen, if you could throw it all in. Switch it in the middle of what you're saying, like the line. Okay. But you're here. So you're going to be. Oh yeah. Good call. So, um, you actually were a little higher. Am I good here? Okay, ready?
