First 90 secondsSam Parr· Host0:00
I got something, Sean. I just had the craziest thing happen to me, one of the craziest things that have ever happened to me. Do you wanna hear a story?
Shaan Puri· Host0:07
[laughs] Does it have to do with those glasses?
Sam Parr· Host0:08
No, but I am a cool guy, so that's why I decided to wear them.
Speaker 3· Soundbite0:11
[laughs] I feel like I could rule the world. I know I could be what I want to. Uh. I put my all in it like no days off. On the road less traveled, never looking back.
Sam Parr· Host0:21
I had one of the craziest things happen literally just 45 minutes ago. I was walking down the street in New York City near my house, and do you know Honey, I Shrunk the Kids?
Shaan Puri· Host0:31
Yeah, the m- old movie from back in the day.
Sam Parr· Host0:34
Of course. Rick, what's his name? I know his na- first name is Rick. I had to look up his last name. Moranis.
Shaan Puri· Host0:38
The crazy hair dad?
Sam Parr· Host0:39
Yeah. I saw him walking. [laughs] I saw him walking down the street, and I felt bold, and I walked up to him and I said, "Excuse me, sir, I just... Like, huge fan. I grew up watching your movies." And I kid you not, he was like, "What's up, man? I appreciate that. Also, I've seen your videos. You, uh, you're cool. You know, I like MFM." And I was like, "Are you kidding me?" [laughs] And, uh, I go, "Rick, I'm here talking to you now. Like, if you know MFM, then you know this, like, is part of the shtick. Like, did you just kill it in the '90s with movies?" And he goes, "I killed it." I go, "D- really? Like, really good?" He goes, "Do you have a few minutes?" I go, "Yeah, Rick, I got a few minutes." He goes, "Let me show you something." Brings me up to his apartment, this beautiful apartment- [laughs] ... overlooking Central Park. Beautiful. I'm like, "You really did well, huh?" And he was like, "Yeah, so, like, you know, I bought this from Harrison Ford. It's this beautiful apartment."
