And Magnolia. 241 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.440 So anyways, I was like, I thought Skins question was 242 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.240 the best or his thing. Where So he's got this 243 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.960 movie called The Edge of Tomorrow and that's what it's called, 244 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.360 and it's the idea. It's like a groundhog Day and 245 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:12.759 he goes through the scenario every single day and he 246 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.440 gets to try things a million ways until he perfects it. 247 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.879 And so the idea was, what if I edge up 248 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.759 tomorrowed the meeting with Tom Cruise and I had so 249 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.000 much anxiety that I go through this ninety second sequence 250 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.960 a million times and finally found one way to turn 251 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.600 it into another interaction and then and so the idea 252 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.240 was to pitch this film, and so we decided that. 253 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.559 He told me TC told me, if you just tell 254 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.519 Tom Cruise, you're a huge fan, You're gonna let down yourself, your. 255 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:41.639 Listeners, your showmates. 256 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.519 If that's what you go on the air and say tomorrow, 257 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.159 you're gonna regret it forever. 258 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:46.840 So don't do that. So I'm like, all right, So 259 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.159 I got to try to make a play. 260 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.960 So going into it, I'm thinking I'm gonna pitch him 261 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.759 this movie idea, not to try to make it, but 262 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:54.720 just to try to get him to laugh.

And I hear him say we're gonna cut 328 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:57.440 the We're not gonna air the previews because the idea 329 00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:59.960 was Tom Cruise was going from one theater to another, 330 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.679 to another to another, and I think he had a 331 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:02.799 police escort. 332 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:04.320 And all that, and I think I saw him on 333 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:05.799 the tollway when I left the station. 334 00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:09.159 So like our buddy JC from the Kid Crodits Show, 335 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.480 got to introduce him at the AMC at Web Chapel 336 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:12.240 in six point thirty five. 337 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.799 Oh, that's yeah, the IMAX is there. So there's different 338 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.600 people at different theaters all around town. He shows up. 339 00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:20.559 They what happens is the plan was they show all 340 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.639 the previews for a movie. No one in the movie 341 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.200 theater knows Tom Cruise is about to be there. Then 342 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.720 they show a spotlight. They shine a spotlight. They don't 343 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.240 turn all the house lights up. They just put a 344 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.879 spotlight right down in front of the screen. And somebody 345 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:34.600 like a radio person or whatever would go up there 346 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:36.879 and say, hey, thanks for coming out everybody, and that 347 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:38.519 person would introduce Tom Cruise. 348 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:39.960 Increded Tom Cruise would. 349 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.679 Say hello, thank you for coming to the movies, thank 350 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.320 you for supporting my show or my movie. Everybody, hope 351 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.320 you enjoy it. And then boom, he's gone to another one. 352 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:48.639 Does he zip line in? 353 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.519 Or? And the idea was. 354 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.960 That, you know, and he was going to be with 355 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.159 Christopher McCory, the writer director of it, the guy that 356 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.440 wrote directed Usual Suspects, right wrote it? 357 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:57.480 Yes, Oh he just wrote it. 358 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.720 Yeah, Okay, So anyways, and so he's gonna be with him. 359 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:04.000 And so in my mind, I grew up with a 360 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.080 guy named Michael Corey. 361 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:08.279 So I keep thinking, like when we started working with 362 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.919 Jeff Kavanaugh, we grew up with his uncle, Or's cousin. 363 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:16.279 So I kept calling Jeff Kavanaugh Mike Cavanaugh. And so 364 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.320 I'm thinking, I don't know anything about this guy. I 365 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.840 just found out he did Usual Suspects, which was a 366 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.919 movie I loved but I'm like Michael. 367 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.519 Corey and Michael oh no, Christopher McCory, Christopher McCory. 368 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.200 And so I'm thinking about how I'm gonna interact with 369 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:29.879 Tom Cruise. 370 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:30.639 Am I going to. 371 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:34.519 Pitch him this movie idea, this silly notion? Am I 372 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.039 going to tell him he's great? And just you know, 373 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:42.039 Chris Barley, I remember when you were in Top Gun. Yeah, 374 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:43.159 am I gonna ask him. 375 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:43.600 To have a catch? 376 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.399 You know, bring a ball a glove and like, you know, 377 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.440 there's any number of ways I could play it. 378 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.720 And then I'm also I got to execute the introduction. 379 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:51.840 I thought I would have time to think it out, 380 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:53.919 but TC and I spent so much time in that oven, 381 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.679 and by the time he got down there, I was 382 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.440 covered in sweat. You know, his whole shirt was outlined 383 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:02.799 in sweat. And I'm like and they're like, great, you're 384 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.399 the radio guy. All right, we're getting ready to do it. 385 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.360 Tom's here and I'm like, they're gonna we're gonna skip 386 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.360 the previews at this theater to get him back on time. 387 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.480 And I was like, oh. 388 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.399 No, I can't. Like I'm stuck. I'm standing there. It's 389 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:12.960 gonna happen. 390 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:15.080 And then think about this too, is like we've had 391 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.720 because of the job, we've been around some famous people. 392 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:20.440 But we were talking about this earlier. This is no 393 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.679 ordinary famous person. This is probably one of the five 394 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:25.799 or six most famous actors on the planet. 395 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:26.559 So the only. 396 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:28.080 Instruction they gave me is when you get down there 397 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.679 and you introduce Tom Cruise and Christopher McCrory. When you 398 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.240 introduce him, just kind of get out of the way. 399 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:36.759 And I'm like, okay, do you want me like go 400 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:37.440 over to that corner. 401 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.519
