"I think another trick is kind of navigating all the other psychological biases we bring to the table. And I know this is something you've talked about too about having had a history of anxiety and things like that. You're known as an actor who plays anxious characters. In fact, one of my students once said in the midst of midterms, she was like, I feel like I'm a Tony Hale character this week. To be saying that, yeah, yeah. But yeah, so talk a little bit about how this is played out even before being an actor in your early life. Yeah, I love that question. Hey, talking to you, which is you're so intelligent and well read about psychology. I'm sure I'm sounding like a complete simpleton. But when it comes to anxiety, man, there's so many things to say because when I was a kid, the word anxiety was not as much of a buzz word as it is now. And I didn't know how to categorize myself. I had a lot of feelings. I was very sensitive. A lot of panic, a lot of a lot of fear. And I think I was kind of very extroverted and wanted attention, but there was a way just to kind of get those feelings out, which is good. I'm glad I had those outlets. But just a lot of interferes. And then I remember, I think it was my junior senior year. I did a show a little Abner, and I was this character Marion Sam. And in the middle of the song, I had what I thought was an asthma attack. And it was a panic attack. I didn't know what it was. Then for the rest of my decades ahead, that became a marker of what I was terrified to have again. And I did have it other times, but there was this fear of like, oh my gosh, that's going to happen again on stage. That's going to happen again in an interview that's going to happen when I have to speak in front of somebody. And it was just absolute terror. And then over time, kind of getting back on stage and doing things I would. I remember there's this famous preacher named Joyce Meyers who would always say, many times we feel like we have to be on this place of peace or strength in order to do stuff. And she's like, you know what? You just got to do it afraid. You just got to keep walking and do it afraid. And I found myself constantly having this mantra of like Tony, just do it afraid. And so I would just keep walking because I can honestly say that I felt like I was a victim to my thoughts and my feelings. I was so drowning in my thoughts and my feelings. I'm never going to work again. There's that thought that I'm going to have a panic attack. There's a thought that my daughter's going to get kidnapped or anything. There's just these thoughts and feelings that are going by like cars on the highway and when I became more of an observer of them and took a seat and then identify with them so much. Again, this is something I deal with all the time, but it was an angle I never thought about. And I was just incredibly grateful to have that new. And this therapist I worked with, it was really just a godsend and actually he just gave me tools that I so appreciated one being I want you to close your eyes for ten minutes a day and if a picture came in your mind say image. And if you find yourself going over a conversation, just say words. And the fact is we can not control our thoughts on feelings. We can not control what those in our heads. But there was something about putting a name to these thoughts in these images that you're never going to be fully in the driver's seat, but it felt like I was a little more in the driver's seat. And just simple things like that that was great. And to your question of kind of characters that I've played, I do, I do anxiety very well because I know what it feels like. But I think it is so cool to be in a stage of my life where all the stuff that I've walked through and not nearly what other people have walked through, but what I personally walk through. I can bring them into comedy. I can show more authentic version of anxiety. I can talk about it openly. It is cool how something that was so broken in my life, how it can be used for restoration and others. And that's a cool equation that happens, I think. Tony's portrayals of anxious characters have made a lot of us laugh, but they've also gotten a lot of us to think. When we get back from the break, we'll hear more about how Tony learned to listen to the anxious voice in his head. We'll see how really hearing that voice and showing it some compassion allowed Tony to make peace with his thoughts and fears. And feel that'll happier. The happiness lab will return in a moment. Many of us experience a little social anxiety now and then. But we don't usually have to perform in front of a theater full of paying customers or to step out before a live TV audience of millions.

"You know he listed so much like compassion when you when you watch him just I used to play house with the my sister. And the girls down the road and my sister always used to play these characters that were very much like buster that were very concerned for their safety and we her character couldn't get a lot of development because she was always like wearing a life jacket and had a bike helmet and was under the pool table into like you could involve you know whatever her name was only. You chose to be in the pool room but there at the time she was going to have to make. She's like i hear you. But i'm gonna i'm gonna need to. You're gonna buster. He didn't really 'cause i mean everybody said he was very fearful. He was very selfish like he just really cared about himself. Just his safety. You know it was a very love hate relationship with the mother but he was just he was terrified and it was just everybody else could die. He was like dominick watch. I can. I obviously don't know much about acting. My sense is from others that you develop a lot of empathy mundy's characters and given that buster has these very unlikable qualities like he'll save himself over other sorry ran screaming from a moment in which people might genuinely need him. How do you go about embodying. somebody Which you can sort of like love and hate them at the same time. I remember doing this movie years ago. I won't say the move. Because i don't think it was ninety two. No i'll tell you it was balancings in riana. no it was It was it was but i was playing a character who was kind of a douchebag and manipulative and kind of player and i just remember thinking. Oh i just hate people like this. You know i i. I really can't stand people like this. No into this acting coach named diana castle here in l. a. And she says tony you have to realize that those things are inside you and when i woke up to the fact of going god she's right because the fact is i've been manipulative my day. I had moments of being a douchebag. I've had moments of being a bit of a player in my past. I'm not proud of you and it's like the more that you see that in myself the more than bringing myself to the character rather than playing an idea of a cap is i. Think if you're playing an idea of the character you're not there's plenty people that complain idea but if you bring it out of yourself nobody not only can nobody else do that but that to me is the most authentic version of playing it and so caring that over into life. You know you take like an evil character or think of somebody that all can't stand or whatever and i think about traits about that person but if i'm honest those in myself in it even though i might not want to have lunch with that person it might actually build a little bit of compassion for that person. If i can see myself in it might see something that malcolm. Glad while said I think a lot tomato. Did he say today. Say i feel that way of jesus. Who who's who said love your but i'm malcolm gobble was saying that there was some kind of a dissociation we have about other people's motives an- his book talking to strangers and we were just kind of unpacking together and i was like well. Then what does that mean when we we meet someone who was other like they have and he said well. Apparently it means that we are much more likely to attribute really flat and narrow causality to their behavior but like rich and nuanced. Bruce know but i. I didn't mean to say like that or i actually had five reasons for not picking you up yesterday or but it really is true. Like when you can't find when you can stop looking at it as another as an other i've had moments like that. It's i don't know there's a connection and you mentioned that we were talking about buster and looking back on that. That was my very first gig. 'cause i've done many commercials before in assault sounds arrogant done commercials before and then. I got that gig. And i'd never been on a studio lot. I had never. I don't know anything about anything with hollywood. I was overwhelmed and thank god. It wasn't playing a confident character. Because i don't think i could have done it. I was very overwhelmed myself. And so it kind of naturally. I naturally connected to buster. I think i was kind of my own state of paralysis and so that was definitely an easy connection. But many times i you have to find that it might take a little work to find the similarity in yourself a normally Talk to people who are like nurses or psychologists. Something that i did have i just describing my insecurity. What after you acting right now. You don't typically talk to people that just want more attention. Oh that's where you don't like the people who sell themselves for living. Oh god it's so much fun you how many hits hits in our post owner is that the same Empty at all. So i I don't know if this is true. Or not. But i remember something that the indomitable alan alda said about He i started imagining He was explaining to me that like when we imagine actors as playing rules like a brow form of pretending it took them a while to start believing that he wasn't just you know an actor playing his own rules but that he was getting better and better at identifying other roles in his regular life that people were playing lady cranky. Dad tired mom I play the role frequently of grateful cancer patient and And then he became really invested in and trying to teach people improv skills because he thought it would make us more Especially doctors actually in healthcare providers. Yes it's amazing institute where he uses actor to teach healthcare professionals. But i liked the idea. That in there in recognizing the rules that we play that it. It might make us a little bit more nimble with me that you're describing. I love that i've held But i i love that and also There's also something to be said about. We're all kind of playing a game. The sun super Maybe to spiritual but i- many times. I'm just walking around like hey we're spending on a planet and i'm just going to trader joe's acting like nothings weird about that. Yeah you know and it's like we're all kind of playing a role to manage. No it would be very. It's very easy for me to come in to fall in the judgment go. That's that role for that person's plan that role to survive. I'm playing my own role. We're all planning. I think there's something beautiful about being honest about. Yeah i'm falling into this role today just to kind of manage. This is crazy..

"You can run the tatum. Think so That's a great answer. What a what sound or noise do you hate An an i would say when when people are unaware of the environment like just not taking into consideration those like for someone like talking on their cell phone to just when they're so in their world that completely unaware so that's i guess that covers a lot of things yup or even like listening to something loud listening got listen something loud or just like being loud and just the thing is being loud is not bad but when you're not even take into consideration those around other people for sure what profession Other than your would you like to. Oh gracious i like to attempt. i really I love ministry. Well i would. I would My relationship with god is I love talking about it. I love studying. It i i.

Have you haven't played one on anything. have you know. yeah would you want to. It's weird though. I don't know if you can relate to this. It's like when something is so close to you. It's it's tougher because you there's a part of you. You'll have a standard and i think it's actually like it's almost like i never the some of the most uncomfortable things for me are being on talk shows because i myself it's that's that's sometimes the hardest act to half. Yes that's why. I have such admiration for stand up because you're not playing anything yourself right. This can be part of the best speech by the way. Oh great okay good. What does actually take this and send you a copy of. We'll get a copy okay. Great i know i. I a thousand percent relate to that But you would crush that. Yeah no you would crush playing a minister. Oh yeah. I guess it depends on the script. Yeah script is i in key for everything. If it's on the page it's not. Can you tell right away in a phone call with a new friend. If they're going to stay along. I think as y- there's a there's a you resonate with i think for me whether there's an authenticity they're cool. Yeah i haven't found it today. So no no i meant okay. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't by the way just have to say real quick. I re watched it came up in a I go on these. When i'm on the road and on slate and i can't go to sleep like like i was saying the tick tock eating videos youtube like robin williams talk show appearances or us. I went on one.

Well she called me that morning for those listeners. Don't we're talking about breakdown. She called me that morning and she said hey because my character on veep carried her bag her purse and so she said. If i win tonight i would like to come up and carry my purse and i won't know because i remember thinking you are gonna win. Probably and so this is live. Tv like what holy. I'm gonna look like that douchebag that runs up and you know but it was. It was really one of those. This is where. I did feel like i was close to stand up. What you guys go because they will never forget when they called her name and she walked up and i saw her turn to me and it was like i can't back off. I house used to kind of like maybe she will do. I knew she was going to do it. But i was like. There's no she's relying on me. So then i had to run up and grab a person you like all right here we go you know and so people were laughing as you walked up but there are also people that were like what the hell is happening. And as a as a person who's slightly if not very codependent. And i'm like oh god i'm worried about what those people they know. It was brilliant. I mean dude and you like getting in her ear where you would like to remind her to thank her family. That was that was was well. That's one thing she said she said we kind of like. Maybe remind me go. That sounds like and then we just forgot about it. And i was like that was brilliant because yes she does she was going down like yeah. Like the the the producers goes and her beat. Before that's right my husband or my family yet thinks she just said my family but it was a huge laugh. It feel good like because there are as you know there. It doesn't work. You're like i remember her. I did another thing for this other thing that just it was like a private Ceremony or something and it just didn't work and we will. We both walked off and gun.

The book talks a lot about the noise and society and kind of finding the truth to break the noise and pandemic was going on just felt a little bit like little more purposeful to me.

Lo was doing my hair for gosh about five months and she didn't mind. She needed the work she wanted to head. I mean It was it was. It was her taivon work. Was it cool. Those kids were when gordon jiggle They were great. And i huge props of those kids jack is not only were they. Sign up to. You know pretty big show. They had to leave their families because we can come home for five months. He's shut this like what very early in the that we we once we get out that we can fly back home. My wife and my daughter were here. Thank god for facetime. Wait for how long you five and a half months and so dude. So they all left their family. I mean they. They had a parent with them. Obviously but they believe their home. Unity's yeah and they had have school half the time and we all had to be wearing masks and so it was a big. That was a really unique situation for them. So i'm really proud of rockstars. Yeah really are. And actually what's weird. You'll appreciate this because you've been on sets but it's like when i got there last last august all the crew obviously masks. I didn't see anybody's face for five and have much. I didn't know what people if i'd seen these people in the greater without mask. I wouldn't know who they weren't. I just worked with him for five minutes so they gave me a. They gave me a book at the end of it with a picture of their face with a mask picture with their face without the mass. Just see what they look like. I love that. And then i also such a fun. Part of the whole being on set and shooting stuff is getting me especially. I mean you can test for that multiple times but layout and kristen shells on the show with me. Thank god we had a little pod on saturdays. They showed a lot of grace to me. Because i was i was by myself and so i spent christmas with them and thanksgiving and all that kind of stuff. Wow so faced. Every think twice a day with my wife and my daughter. I'm super thankful for that. But you had your morning still to yourself. So that had me off about them waking up and if they did comment just delete new folder. Slogan the best part of waking up is my wife and daughter still being asleep. That's that's a little dark. Jesus didn't even have a jingle by guys saying it. So it's so wild to hear you voice. Because i i watched that johnny storm episode with editing. So much that it's like it's hard to separate it were you. You were involved. I mean first of all it was awesome to have you in sessions. extra treat is And again i can't push the show enough. Yeah it was really fun to do. Awesome dude You know the bases of it. Is this book that i did about this chicken. Look into his next big thing and missing where he is and so that is that i mean. Look at our business. What are we always ask. What's next what's next for you. What's nice people. Ask of you after you do it. What's next with of my twenty. What are you working on. That's how we were just talking about contaminant. And i'm like why are you asking me. What's this is the business. And why have you always been that aware and Appreciative of i dunno instilling messages. Themes like that in your work and in life because that is like i try to Be active without one all the time. I think it's whether you're in this business or not. Yeah we all are Guilty of just too much of that and not what are not looking at the review mirror. I guess a little bit more. But i think concerning like have always been that way. I have been the guy. it's hard to forget. We're spending on a planet like it's hard to forget that. I'm on my way to trader joe's getting groceries but we're spending on a planet and we're all gonna die you know it's like but that's where it's hard not to go there and i like having comer spiritual conversations and because i think we just kind of pretend like this is normal. It's there's that's crazy you know. So it's i. I enjoy those conversations lot. I do wanna know Do you have Do you make goals down. And i was curious because again for someone so successful mike. There's gotta be vision board. I'm just not. I'm saying for someone. Oh yeah okay..

Yeah but i. I'm also not a big crowds guy so i don't really like really i like arenas and stuff like that because like social introvert or Yeah it's just not. It's so much more comfortable at home. Yeah i i'm not. I'd always been that way like people who which i think is great people who go to arenas for concerts and setting the. You can't even see the person on the stage. I don't get it like why wouldn't you just sit at home and watch on hbo. I yeah. I think there's similar to the way that you enjoy the social part of sports. Yeah I think that's what i'm speaking for myself for concerts Like just went to guns and roses in boston. At fenway park. There most him never seen him before very cool and being around. The people that are diehard was a spectacle in and of itself There was a woman with a shaved head and a gun tank top that did not fit the size of my head and someone else has had. It's bigger than my head. Let me finish my story. Yeah you got it boobs. Probably between six on the next episode of botch yup. Great show not to be outdone by dr pimple popper. You can't do it. Oh no little queasy just thinking about it. That's on youtube right. Well that's on Tlc o no. There was a youtube pimple guy. Who popped pimples. Well there's a doctor who's taken on people that walk in there like i've got a i've got a show. I've got a neck shoulder that's been about twenty five years and you're like holy shit and she's like she's so sweet she just looks at me and goes like seriously the walking with like that'd be something here like a knee stuck on there and she goes what brings in here today and is it. A pimple dude. It's something it's growth. It's a pimple. They usually they. They do their sorry that much. Be a volcanic eruption when it sometimes it is. Sometimes my mom watches also. I've looked over and we were on the couch watching some tube late night and seattle just like look over on back. What are you doing some. It's like animal videos and she's just like watching this on my show fixate on. She's like mom looking a mike. Now you gotta show 'cause what the buck you're scrambling she's like. It's these weird. And i'm just like what are you. She's like. i don't know it's interesting. Is the pimple popper. It's that and then there's just like you said the youtube pimple guy or i think there's a lot there's a lot of all the same same show. Yeah everyone's got there's a pimple. There's a guy with a camera. Does of youtube videos of the guy other called texas bushman. Where the he they're. they're hidden. Think bushes and they jump out and scare people. And it's that's very entertaining. I love that. Yeah or statues. And people think they're fake and then they jump out and get them quick bush's tangent when i was a tour guide on the universal tram from two thousand three two thousand six. I can totally see that. Yeah i just We had the video clips. It was early. I think it was not jimmy. Found tonight show yet. But something and i would play a lotta clips. But sometimes you'd be stalled before going to earthquake peak. Summertime you five six trams deep i do stand up so i was like two years and so i was like a workout bits or stories or i'll drop a fake camera turn the mission impossible music run out just yet just bits and people just like this is incredible. Someone's out makeup stuff. I had a You know Like i one time. There was a japanese tour. Right yasser yet but two hundred people on the saying. The japanese tour guide was done for the day but there are like they still have subtitles. And whatever and you know so understand english so who wants to do. I'll do it. And they were taking pictures of everything so i had a drive with me and i was like. Hey we come out of jaws and we go up to wisteria lane. Desperate housewives seal drama went down. There's was a big line of hedge bushes. i go. I always stop real quick and he stops. I go guys. Don't want to miss this. The bushes from the film bushes one and bush's to attack the bushes. You guys remember when pacino was like we gotta these bushes and they all started taking pictures and it was awesome. I've i have a question about stand up because i have huge admiration for you. You should know about no no I have a question though if you when you're working out a bit wondering if it works right and so you do it and then it doesn't ever want you're like i know this is gonna work and you keep doing it and fails you just. It's like a nagging totally. And then you're like. I just have to let it go. 'cause genuinely maybe just not totally funny. I try to use most of the things. I take to the stage from like. I said to my buddy like Just most stories or lines. I try to go if that made somebody laugh. Organically like live in the flesh. There's something from this. That happened and i pocket. I got okay. Cool i can. I trust that. That was a real laugh at see if a group of strangers will feel that way and even if it doesn't ever put on the crowd. Because i always feel like even if it's six people at twelve thirty the comedy store they're there. They wanna laugh unless they are just blackout drunk. Then that's different but Yeah i mean. I i give a handful of attempts like i said this thing To body mind he was like. Are you going to do a jewish wedding. I go well. She's not jewish go but she is circumcised and he laughed at that. And so i go i go to the stage and then i did it in between some other kind of wedding stuff and it didn't really hit like i thought it would. Yeah and then. I did it Two nights later and like did it right before like more jewish wedding stuff just that one line to kind of resolving got away bigger laugh so yeah it is to answer your question like man you just timing. You shouldn't Let i mean look five. Times isn't getting something. And i think i've got one of those. I think there's this one thing that i i don't know why i go back to it. It's like it's like. I always say like okay so i was in this meeting once and they were trying to show us all the material that they they have worked on and i said i said oh. I can't wait to judge you. Like i don't know just something like that falls flat. I can't not do that a lot. Not funny face like that. I can't love that. But i can't judge anyways awkward awkward awkward. Okay so then. I was like tony. Why do you keep doing. Why do you keep saying that. So then i go back to my hometown and this theater company is doing these high school students are doing grease and i was there for my college essay on it. Love it can get for show grachev. So then i go and the and the director goes. Hey guys tony's here he's so excited he says yes and these are too high school students and i can't wait to judge you did it again. Didn't get flat crickets. She's so then. I'm like no not even one kid. Laughing lanka might have been one who might be. I thought tony. These people are taking you literally. Yeah you have to stop and think you're an asshole. Think you're not but it's like i can't i can't get out of my head and to you're doubling down. Yeah you're tripling down. I have to let go you want. I don't think you do i. I think at the next academy awards. You you You you're presenting you go. I haven't seen any of these films yet when you're about to give the nominees but i can't wait to judge you. It's it's also not even funny. And i think about those kids going back to the home saying mom dad. He said he couldn't wait to judge. And i'm like it. Just it just keeps me up at like we just said with the social media the quick moment they now are my narrative like tony hale is david celsius guy. Couldn't stop down on them in front of us.

If you're like all right. I'm getting actually to is a buddy of mine. And i'm whatever's happening here. Put that down and and Or just flip the switch. And i think it's safe to sail the most people don't have that awareness though thousand percents. I think it's safe to say that. People genuinely i fall into this trap included. You just go into this kind of allison wonderland spiral where you're just. You're looking all this kind of stuff in subconsciously. You're not even aware how you're you're almost Becoming you're looking into somebody else's life for a second. Yeah you could see one person posts something about joe biden and good or bad and you assume so much in that moment off that one thing and then and then you move onto the next thing and that's then you start creating all these different narratives and somebody said. I thought this is a really good point that the phone has become our center. So it's like when you're i mean here. It's sitting on the table. When i'm standing somewhere i'll pull it out like it. Rather than stint it has it has become like just out of amman to go to the bathroom. Paula legs Just becomes our center. Yeah you know which is really scary. It is gary also. I mean there's always the everything's getting tracked to pay attention to. I mean i remember talking very sternly one night about celine dion. Somehow as you do high going. Am i going to get to see your live again at some point echo no dreams. I've seen her live once. And i've said many times fucking phenomenal. I'm sure and does she sing all the songs all of them. And guess what. Here's the best part and not to regurgitate it. But she does like stand up In between songs she's just been doing She'd been performing so long. She's like i know i got. That's the way it is. My heart will go on. Hit after hit in my back pocket whenever i want so. I'm going to riff little. Yeah and make up songs about my band. I'm gonna wear a yellow dress and call myself selene. dijon. I'm gonna laugh like i. Just let me let me say this though. Would you say that those were pretty. Those are the same jokes she uses every night. Yeah yeah. I don't think she. I think she has a writer. So you think there's a guy backstage being like. Yeah yeah oh totally. I bet she's got a hacks writer. The the the with i was on it. You were yeah. I think i've only seen that wait. Which episode were you eight. Oh i haven't gone that far. Don't tell me don't tell me. It's a turning point in the season. It's a great up. i'll tell you this much. You get recognized a claim for everything you do. This is probably the most in the last. I don't know man since my guest. According to jim the season premiere in two thousand seven from my mom and the rest of temple betham that was episode where the guy she met totally yet which was at this point. That show has been out okay. Popular show a rayleigh. I love turn. Yeah this one's even crazy at my heart actually me too This is a big turn in a great episode. It's really great. And i love james. Martin i think i forgot all those name Hannah on minor. Yeah she's great amazing. The gene is a god. I mean and so keeping my mom on veep all my god yes. So you know what's up and she's just the coolest she really is is. Why are we still so just like we have. We're not saying that to you. Know squashed rumors. But i don't know it's just maybe there's been to many people of that. Are that good that that haven't been cool that we have to go out of our way to be like she's the best or is it just kind of. I think it's the longer you and i think the longer we're in the business. I think there is a. There's a surprise element. Yeah where you're like. Oh wow that's you. Put them up on a pedestal. Right so the fact that they're like asking you about a lot of stories that are the opposite. Oh yeah you know. Like i remember when i met henry winkler on arrested and he. I was very nervous. Because i this is my first show and i was just didn't know what the whole business was going to do. And how would i turn into like an asshole all kind of stuff and he is just the most gracious kind give and i was like okay so you can have that long of a career and still be other things where you're at the top. Yeah he was on the pot about maybe five months ago. I his son max was my fraternity. Usc oh yeah became like a mentor to me doing school. Whatever you need whenever you need something.

Brilliant and again there's so many relatable elements there. Yeah with the reunion. Even people that don't go like the or a social gathering that's family planning. It's knowing all the stresses that come with that and then having this person who's kind of the Helmet And the pub- the facebook thing. It's like so many people. I think there's probably more une tech savvy people than tech savvy That are that would make a mistake like that and be and have it be completely unbeknownst them a tangent. Do you feel like there's a lot of talk about how damaging social media is and yet no one is making the step to get off social media thousand. So it's just post about that. We all know how toxic it is very toxic actually and it's causing depression. It's always but somehow nobody is moving the needle personally to like get off it and i don't think yeah because man is. I think it's an addiction. I think they're one thousand percent. Yeah yeah. I know i Just now start paying attention to my Time how much on it and i. I know what it does to me. When i know what i'm if i'm on it for let's say late night my fiance and i are looking at cooking videos on tick-tock.

"That but our is just wide looking at each other like that and she's very got. A great sense of humor is one of the best things about her And that's the only good thing about her and she She's a joke. She is she loves you. She loves me She always more and it's mission accomplished but We go out when people get that joke or they'd be like how many people will go. That was weird and we have to go. What are those a picture we saw. Can we see that i. I don't have you enjoyed winning. You know what i'm saying. I want to be silly. But there's i know. Well i will say when it comes to flowers. Were struggling to find someone. Okay is this where you pitcher floors business. Well i'm so glad you a flowers by tony. I well visiting flou- florus are extremely gifted. But if you're tied on a budget you know because we were you know ways could be expensive. I think you get if somebody if there is a friend of yours who is gifted in the in in flowers. Yeah like nowadays floor. I would think floor arrangements. Don't have to be well. No florist across. The country are going to murder me for us but at times. It's just like there's a bouquet of them and it's a single flower with somebody who had been in somebody who is gifted in that maybe wants to give you that they could. There's like the all the flower markets because there was a lot of simplicity flowers. Yes anyways no not that it's not it is a gift and people are very but it can be very expensive. Where do you find the things to cut corners like what what did you and your wife like. Make a priority for photography. Gotcha yeah that's what. I kind of went. Almost i think we got somebody. But i was always like to get like me. We'll get somebody else like another team. But that's the thing that i mean. Granted obviously everything is important. But that's like that's where the memory sir you hear about those situations where the photography something didn't work out. My sisters who so joy mcintyre from newbies on the block is a buddy of ours from the heat He i got him to come up to sing my sister's wedding. Yeah the photographer or videographer god. Like ten seconds of it. Oh and so. And then she gave my sister a big zip drive being like there's a bunch of stuff on there. If you want to cut some up yourself. Anyway she forgot he actually forgot to push a record. Or i'll get her whole thing was like snippets so she's like. Oh you just to make the highlight videos like no no no no. You're supposed to just kind of anyway. So that's one thing. I wanna make sure to get. Covered is somebody that captures a lot of it. But not all the you don't need a lot of you don't need five hours of the getting ready stuff. Do you I don't think so. But as somebody who you know the power of radio and film and tv and all that kind of stuff. You don't want to have to worry about it right. You know like you don't want to sound we've got anything you want people to be here you. Yeah and have really good footage. Yeah d- do you ever go back and watch your video. No but i. I do look at the photo album a lot you do. Yes you more of a photo video guy. Yeah for for my wedding. Yeah yeah. I mean but also we didn't even have back. This was because we've been married eighteen years. Thank you but it was like video. I wasn't like you know house now. The really produced. That wasn't a really big thing back. There was mainly really good. Yes eighteen years ago that was about two thousand and three thousand three don with the math. Usually i'll be honest terrible. That was like oh gimme. That was a lob like that was a simple. I could do that but if it was like. If i'd take behind the two thousands and get into the nineties been over lost. What was your best subject in high school. Take me back kind of a student where you i didn't say it was an interview. No you are. This is why. I love podcasting. I like i like i always make it back though. And you are a. And i'll say this but i'll give you the greatest that you don't have to make it back. Thank you you can just enjoy the ride. Do enjoy good tangent. Oh yeah that's on my mind. Thanks me too. And i apologize for a lot but then people don't really need you'd apologize. They can enjoy tangents. i think. Quick tangent from the student thing. And i'm gonna get back to answer. You don't have to get back to it okay. I how much. Because i know in most shows and films that you've done now it's probably not expected but anticipated you're bringing a insane comedy chops. But here's a tiers attention. I feel like a squeaky dog toy next. And you speak why your voice is so resonant and desire and mine just sounds literally like something you buy at a pet store. Who again are you trying to pitch a pet store with tony hale dog toy such as listening to voice going. I don't even wanna speak. Go ahead dude. He sorry academy award winner. Coney hale that's right that's right dude. No go ahead so much of this note. But then i would to ask when you're getting hired for stuff now and by the way so many things even the last two years but even prior to that work city the mayor work city. How much when you come in our people like Because i'm finding this now in just the last couple years with a few things that like. Hey we like we tell you improvise and that also maybe or if they even have seen something else they hire. They know the comedy part. So they want that How much is that happening is not where they're like we're going to do what scripted but always bring tha whatever tony hale has bring it when we or yeah. I think it makes sense. Yeah it does make sense. Because i mean you hear a lot that statement make it your own your own and it's like all right just feel it feels lazy but you just don't know what to do with that do you want me to i. Sometimes that means so. I think i if i'm answer your question correctly. They kind of. It's like they give me a coloring book in colored in a way that fits what i'm bringing to the table. Gotcha so it's just to kind of add. And if they like those colors than great and if they don't then i don't get the part right do you Like auditioning do. Yeah i do. I used to be get really nervous. And then I realized that. That's the only time that i can do something completely that i want to do with that material Because once you know. If i don't get if i don't get it then i'll never do that and if i do get it's going to be the director's vision of whatever that materialised so that's the only space. I have to make it what i wanna do. Great way to look at it. When did that shift happened. I don't know but i started to. I started to kind of look at it a little more as like a playground. Rather than as a this kind of things brought a of i used to and i still do to an extent but he used to bring a lot of anxiety to the table and then it's just like all right. Well let's just kind of look at it as like a playtime. Yeah and that's a way to calm the nerves ford and then also if i this is going to be. I'm going to have fun with this. And make this guy take on it and if they did it cool than i know that i'm onto something if not then that was. Yeah and you can. I mean one thing. I also appreciate as like i used to say there was a character and i had an idea of what i think that character was going to be and i would just be playing and i like friends at say. It's like an like ahead of company. Right so i have an idea of what i think ahead of company. Looks like if. I'm just playing idea of what i think ahead of a company. Looks like they're so many other people that can play that idea better or whatever than i can. But if i bring out those characteristics of that character meaning leadership he's motivational He knows how to whatever. Whatever if i bring that out of myself. Like how i motivate. People how i encourage people how i lead meetings if i if i how tony hale will do that then. I realized nobody else can do that. So i might not get the part but that i put out in the table something that nobody else can. Cause i brought out of myself rather than like an idea. What characteristics does that make sense thousand percent. Yeah hey guys atom ray here for the about last night podcast. Hope you're enjoying the episode. Guess what there's big news from my favorite home security company nope. It's not my dog pickles. It's simply safe. They just launched their new wireless outdoor security camera.

That's it right most realistic best case scenario you get shot get clipped and then you lay down and play dead. Get under dead bodies or whatever you know and then. He just thinks he's done. He's done the job. That is but also i think of those things like god. What was it like wars when they walk around like. That's what i say. They know that now. Go around putting one in. Yeah because it's an all or nothing move. Once you play dead you better hope it works because otherwise because you can't get them that's interesting your surroundings anymore.

Popcorn with Peter Travers
Tony Hale Talks 'Toy Story 4'
"Hi everybody I M Peter Travers this popcorn where we tell you what is happening at the movies and there is no movie. There's no movie now except for I don't really care I don't care. I just want stop it. There's no movie now. There's nothing this well thank you and my guest today. Tony Hale of course is immortal from playing Gary on and veep and then buster booth on is now found another. I kind of character in forty. You've turned out to be a plastics pork and they're all neurotic airy worke. There's a through line going on on. What do you think it was that made <hes> Disney Slash Pixar say we have this pork and he basically who could really voice this well? They I remember they brought me up to Pixar. Have you ever been up to Pixar. Gosh Creative Wonderland. It's so beautiful but they brought me up when they're like yeah we have this spark and we kind of got an erotic energy and we were like we thought about you check but I was <hes>. Nomadic energy with some humor comes from a lot of paying a lot of pain but don't we all they described him as you know. I just like he's very simple. He was simply made and he just sees little life very simple. He's <unk> overwhelmed. I'm always overwhelmed. He has oh yeah. He has a bit of an imposter complex. He's like I don't know how I got here. I kind of feel the same way all the time so we have. We have a lot in common for a lot of your trash trash to exactly your plastic trash you what everyone wants to get rid of clogs but he's happy with that. That's what I love about it. He's like my life. My lifeline flying like I help people eat Chili and I go to the trash. That's all I got and woody comes along. It's like no you have a greater purpose in that you have value and then of course you're crying in a corner as you're watching it. There's a lot of weeping that goes did you see in the in the in between the <hes> the laughter and things things like it's so great I mean it's typical Pixar. They make you laugh and then somehow you're. You're usually murder people. That's usually the thing that they do well. Let's let's talk about it isn't he has always done it. I never got Camby's mother being dead. I said No. It's not all right. Do you look at you. Look at frozen parents killed in a boating accident. A child is an isolation because she's got a gift from her sister rea puzzle. You know solitary confinement in a tree kidnapped by a witch. I've totally dark stuff. You choke on your popcorn win here doing totally bad as a parent. You're watching this dark man. Toy Story is nice. It's nice and refreshing your parents. Oh how old is your dog. She's thirteen so this is of my work. This is the first thing that she she can see. I mean because she's until she's middle aged so she household we can we can enjoy we can enjoy together so it was fun to see her when she was little. Did she come on the set of veep and everybody had headphones on. She can wear the headphones because the language is so bad so she just look around. She's like I'm going to go to the snacks with these. Don't look like good people. We did not play way good. They would just the worst but I want to go back a little into the genesis of forty. Yes it's okay to say we have this neurotic spoke. That's doing this and yes we would want you to do this. But did you have a say in besides doing the voice for it in how this character was finally presented. I mean it was the cool thing. About what Pixar does I've been fortunate enough to do other animation and typically you're kind of separated by this Kinda sheet of glass you have headphones and then no one no one talks and talks you do your thing and then everything goes silent and then you just these voices just talking about you. Don't know what they're saying. So it's a very insecure feeling Pixar keeps you in the same room so it's like you're in the room with the writers and the director the producers of your all in the same room you feel like you're kind of a part of the collaboration that kind of put that energy out there which I really appreciate and so we would try different voices and I was able to ad Lib stuff every now and then but the thing is they no one in the cast read a full script script. We weren't allowed to read a full script so they just hand. You'd pages as you went so I I really resonated with working because I had no idea what was going on. I didn't know what was happening and he's constantly doesn't know what's happening. He's asking questions all the time. I'm asking questions all the time where what's HAPP. Who am I talk? You know so it's like I felt like just Kinda. I was sorry little girl named Bonnie. What am I only flexibility for gases arms? Everything else is just you know he has. There's no flexibility can't even move his feet. He's just a mass. Were you already in listen to that. I said inculcated in the toilet ever were that were nobody's ever said. I bet you did really well on your S._A._T.. That was the only way you ever it came up but I never heard that word in my life well. That's what it is inculcated in the toy story universe breakdown that word. What does that mean it means that have you ever been so absorbed in it that every single thing about toy story was a part of your life okay or never saw toy story movie you said what is this? Oh have I ever done I well you saw them all. I've seen them all. Actually I moved to New York in Nineteen ninety-five to be an actor and that's when the first toy story came out and I remember seeing and being like oh my gosh this is so cool and I never would have thought I would somehow be associated with it but nine years ago as <hes> The for the third one came out and my daughter was four so that was one we really watched Awadh together Warren cocaine and then we're just gonNA use that word as much right now. I'm going to be used to the rest of my life and I'm not gonNA. I'm GONNA claim it came up with. It's yours thank you you can own it and that's it. I'm genuinely we made that just came out of you. Naturally I'm just as well. I thought I might have been doing the New York. Times Crossword decided to throw it at you. Tony God but we need to look at you as forking. We need to see you okay so that we can all become inculcated in you and your your act. Okay these roll the clip so that Tony can speak to Tom Hanks. The Gab began yes.
