Young Hollywood

Okay, so just to preface this, I'm not crazy.

Jake Johnson

This is the cast of Let's Be Cops.

Young Hollywood

Although, I didn't have the budget to go out and buy a police uniform, so I just found this in my closet.

Jake Johnson

That was just in your closet?

Young Hollywood

Yes. I like to dress up. I mean, we just, we were supposed to interview you guys at Comic Con, but and I would've, I went full costume for that. So I figured I better keep in the spirit of things.

Damon Wayans Jr.

We appreciate it.

Young Hollywood

Do you guys have any costumes in your closet?

Jake Johnson

Uh, in short, yes.

Young Hollywood

But I want the long answer. We all want the, what do you wear? What do you have?

Jake Johnson

Nights of the Round Table. I've got a full suit of armor. I got a Peter Pan outfit. I got a Wendy outfit.

Damon Wayans Jr.

Wait, wait, what?

Jake Johnson

It's just a night gown, you know?

Young Hollywood

How many night gowns do you have now, honestly? All jokes aside. How many night gowns do you have in your closet right now?

Jake Johnson

Three.

Young Hollywood

Do you enjoy a night gown? Is there, like, is there a story behind it?

Jake Johnson

It's roomy. There's air.

Damon Wayans Jr.

So everything good about Damon that's real is that he wears a an Nugro, a Nugro when we work late. He goes in his trailer and on Let's Be Cops he did and he shows up it's like really nice lacy night gown. It can assault more than it can. And he's like, I need to relax.

Jake Johnson

That costume is a suit.

Damon Wayans Jr.

Right. That's something that wear is kinda really weird. Do you?

Young Hollywood

Well, that actually leads me into the next question. The smooth is kinda like a fish out of water story. Yeah. Do you guys have any stories about when you felt like a fish out of water? Any good Hollywood stories?

Jake Johnson

I remember my grandma I bought my grandma a fish for a present. And she told me, she said, "Never buy a woman a fish." She told me to take it back. It's It's disrespectful. This is a literal fish out of water story. She's like, "Take this fish, pick it back."

Damon Wayans Jr.

How old are you?

Jake Johnson

I'm like 10.

Damon Wayans Jr.

Also, why is that disrespectful to buy a lady a fish? I guess like back in the day, maybe.

Jake Johnson

You also had another story you're just dying about your grandma and a night gown.

Damon Wayans Jr.

I did because Marlon was in here. Can I set it up?

Jake Johnson

Yeah.

Damon Wayans Jr.

I Marlon was in here and he taught me how to do a blue angel. Oh, oh, so, you know, I was being funny hanging with the guys, my brother, my my uncle is actually my age. And uh we were trying to and letting a fart on fire. Yeah. So, with my legs up accordingly, uh like the

Jake Johnson

Stop moving out of the way so I can do it. You're lifting your legs. I'm telling you, you're moving out of the way so you can see me do that on camera. I'm not doing that on camera. I would have done it, but because you want to I screwed up. I screwed up.

Damon Wayans Jr.

So I fart, I fart on fire. It flew out like, like Dalsim, like Yoga, like just flamed out. I was just like, oh, this is awesome. And then it back drafted, like it went right back in my butt hole. And what happened after that? My grandma. A bunch. Like, like she just slathered up. She was like, that's a fire. Yeah, so I was like, I was I was burnt. She laid me on on my stomach over her lap, put like a huge amount. And I was just like walking like

Jake Johnson

This wasn't No, she wasn't.

Young Hollywood

Um, have you guys ever talked your way out of a traffic ticket? What is your style?

Jake Johnson

Little cleavage. Okay. Hello, officer. I was going half past. He's like, "Whoa, whoa." "Oh, I'm so sorry." Please keep driving. Slow down there. Grandpa.

Damon Wayans Jr.

Yeah. Uh, no, actually what uh I get I get out of a lot of tickets looking like my father, like the cops mistake me for him. And uh they'll like pull me over and then I'll give him my license. They're like, "Oh, no. What? Homer the Clown?" Oh, man. You look good, man. You look really good. You look really good, man. Man, I love your stuff. Get out of here, man.
