I know that you are working with Ryan Reynolds.

So Ryan approached me about doing directing a john candy documentary, right?

And uh, I wanted to talk about this because john candy was one of my comedy heroes, grew up watching SCTV and so many people know him from uh, trains, planes and automobiles or uncle buck or um, splash.

But you know, I, I really saw him on SCTV and was just enchanted with this guy and I had the opportunity to spend some time with him.

I orchestrated, uh, basically a scam to get john candy to come and visit the, the lampoon building and I got to go and get him.

Um, and chauffeur him around and I got to spend about a day and a half with him I think.

And it was magical because he was, he, he taught me a lesson.

He was everything I wanted john candy to be in person.

And you know, sometimes that's not the case.

You know, you, you, you, you idolize someone, you think they're great and you meet them and they're not that person and it's not their fault.

They're projecting something that we all like and then we want them to be that he was that times 10, he was the john candy that I was hoping he would be times 10 and he was great and I remembered talking to him pretty late at night having a chat with him and he asked me what I was thinking of doing and I said, I might like to try comedy and he looked like threw me like into my eyes and he said, he said, kid a lot, like, like johnny Larue, like, hey kid, and he said, kid, you don't try comedy, you do it because you have to.

And I walked away from that thinking he's right.

I mean, if I'm in, I'm all in, there's no trying it and huh, this isn't going, this isn't working out.

T um instead, you're like, actually I will take this LSD and just make jokes instead.

My God, what are you going to be a lawyer?

That was my fault and it still is my fallback kind of lawyer.

Just whatever lawyer kim Kardashian is, that's what I'm going to be.

Don't give up on your secondary dream, That's the most inspirational thing.

You don't try to be a kim Kardashian lawyer?

That's what kim Kardashian would probably say to me, I said, you know, sometimes I think I might try being a lawyer, you don't try being a lawyer slash owner of the Spanx empire or skim sorry, sorry, did I say?

Of course there, they're two completely different brands, like Pepsi and coke, okay, okay, look, everyone's on me.

I know, I know I'm asking I made a mistake, I made a mistake.

It is, it's two different brands of like, you know, getting it in.

Is there, is there, Hey, can I ask a quick question.

Also, did we just come up with a different term for pornography as well?

Is their trademark that well, Erica Brown is always saying that she works, she works here and she pretty much runs everything here at the Konan empire and Erica Brown, who is the queen?

Um, my question is, is there a skims slash Spanx for men?

Oh, it's just, it's me wearing, There's just male Spanx Spanx.

Yeah, I guess I've got to got to have those.

I hate to break it to you, but there's something.

Why do you say it so conspiratorially or kind of sexually like because you we have those weighted blankets and it makes people feel the idea of me being held closely all day in my various areas.

I'm not gonna buy them for you that you have to go and do that.

I can't go, You have to go, you're my assistant to do that.

You have to go and say, I'm here to buy some skim slash Spanx for Conan o'brien.

Hold on, we've got we've got verification verification.

No, no, no, don't give it to the Kardashians.

You create a brand, my lawyering and you do spank.

I think we may have mentioned this before, but it just cracks me up.

You know, there's a lot of celebrities out there and Ryan Reynolds one, he's got like an aviator gin.

I believe I've got a company called hank's kerchief company.

Not only that, my jacket is literally lined with uh Hanks kerchiefs that that is a wonderful line has got the little logo and everything.

Did you want to sell handkerchiefs or did you have to because of the name of the game?

I wanted to sell kerchiefs, I wanted to sell kerchiefs.

And then as I was sitting there about four minutes after I thought of the idea, I burst out laughing because I thought of the name and so many people, there was one group of people that were like, no, you really shouldn't do that.

Hanks kerchiefs and they're like, no, people are gonna think it's hank's kerchiefs and I'm like, you just said it not a problem.

Yeah, that's not a problem because I didn't know that and I thought that you didn't want to, but because it fits your name, you had to be like that.

You want to know what brian's potatoes do you like potatoes, corn in?

They make me that you so no, you eat so many potatoes and then you need your special Conan O'brien Spanx.

Well anyway, market demand, but you do Spanx, but just call them straight up hank's.

Listen, I will listen, I will, I will invest in the company.

I think that you are the front man for the we call them Hanks and it is male Spanx.

Um, they can't sue you because that's your name.

You've had that your entire life and I will be an investor.

Have a lot of ideas about where it should hug and hold okay all the areas, people getting bummed out.

Yeah, I'm empowering myself to talk about my body, but you don't understand when you say it were then forced to think about it.
