Wow. Between genius. Wow. Have you been called a genius before?
Yeah. Many times.
Ah. You're used to it, right?
I just I just said that to you a minute ago.
You did.
And like, hey, genius. Yeah. It's Jason. Yeah. And it just It always comes out that way. I'm realizing now it wasn't a compliment, was it? It was like when kids go, they're like, hey, genius. It's like, hey, four eyes. You're You're basically saying like, hey, four eyes.
There was no sarcasm whatsoever.
See, even that's sarcastic. It's Jason.
There was no sarcasm whatsoever.
Take a joke. That's pretty serious.
I believe him.
Yeah. Don't.
So when you were in school, what were the worst names people said on you? You were like 12 years old and you were like a giant. Six-foot-five. I want to hear these names.
Well, it's It's just one terrible memory that replays every time I have a moment of insecurity. I mean, when I was like, uh, 12, I went through puberty, you know, where your hormones change inside of your body. And, uh, I became 6'4" and every other kid was regular, like normal human height, and they would stand around me in a circle and they would jump on my back one by one, and they would chant, ride the oaf, ride the oaf.
That's pretty bad.
Doesn't hurt.
No?
No. No.
And what's yours? Let's see here, Cameron. What was yours? Can you top that?
I was Skeletor. Oh. Skinny Bone Jones. Oh. Yeah. Which is kind of cool.
I would kill to be called Skinny Bone Jones.
Skinny Bone Jones.
What was the worst thing one of these guys called you on set? Really? I'm sure there were some bad ones. I want to hear it.
Jason was always really nice to me. Uh-oh. But this one on the other hand.
Justin was always
Justin was always there.
Look at. There's a Jason Segel. We're doing something else. Wow. You like that? Jason's a regular. We keep having him come through. Everyone from these two brilliant comedians, um, Lucy, Phillis, John, I mean, everybody just came in guns hot with the comedy, and the writing was so good and every each character, I kind of like to describe as their own island. And And you put them in this school, and they're kind of all existing in the same space and it works. And it's It's It's because of everyone's genius. There's that word again. And everybody's actually like fun to be around. We had a lot of fun making the movie. This is it. Then I'll like, grab a bite sometime. You're still a gym teacher?
I am, yeah.
You wouldn't know. Okay, cool. Well, awesome. This one great. All right. Now Now let's talk. You had a viral video that got a ton of views on YouTube. And then Rebecca Black comes out with Friday, blew that away. It's like 150 million views. What about some Paco? Can we maybe get some viral video that could be the worst song ever?
I wasn't aware that there was a competition. You might win for the worst song ever.
There's always a competition, Justin. There's always a competition.
I see that. I see that. But is it hard to try and make the worst song ever or is it easier?
It might actually be harder.
I've been doing it for years. So,
No, actually, that's the truth that actually takes more talent to be able to make write a bad song when you are such a good songwriter to like come to be to tap into a place that, you know, uh, that isn't of genius, word again, that, um, but used in a different realm of tone.
Thanks, CD. I like it. Thanks, man.
