Jonah Hill· Guest0:00

How are you, man?

Zane Lowe· Host0:00

I'm good.

Jonah Hill· Guest0:01

So I met you- Thank you ... do you remember where we met?

Zane Lowe· Host0:04

In Malibu.

Jonah Hill· Guest0:05

Yes.

Zane Lowe· Host0:05

Yeah.

Jonah Hill· Guest0:05

Yes.

Zane Lowe· Host0:06

We were having, we were having burritos with our mutual friend, David, and you happened to be sitting next to a director, Todd, who you'd worked with, and we had this funny back and forth- Mm-hmm ... here and there for a minute.

Jonah Hill· Guest0:16

Yeah, we saw Todd Phillips at lunch.

Zane Lowe· Host0:17

That's right.

Jonah Hill· Guest0:17

[laughs] He was eating lunch by himself.

Zane Lowe· Host0:18

[laughs] By himself.

Jonah Hill· Guest0:19

And we did a bit about, "Do you wanna continue eating lunch by yourself- [laughs] That's right ... or do you wanna join our table?"

Zane Lowe· Host0:24

That's right.

Jonah Hill· Guest0:25

Thanks, Jonah. That's very thoughtful and kind of you to say, man. I appreciate it. And I know, you know, you've, you've been kind to me, um, to my face off the record too, so I know you're being genuine, and I appreciate it.

Jonah Hill· Guest0:51

No, I mean it. And, um, I haven't done interviews in, like, many years, and so I was, uh, exci- you were on the top of my list, so thanks for saying yes to- Of course.

Zane Lowe· Host1:00

Well, I'm a fan too ...

Jonah Hill· Guest1:00

I was like, "I wanna do Zane Lowe," you know?

Zane Lowe· Host1:02

Well, I'm a fan too. You know that. I've told that to you off the record too. And I, you know, I, I, I love the way that you bring your characters to life, but I also love that you draw inspiration from all kinds of things, and it's not just the role. You are a music fan. You're a deep, deep cinema nerd who's always wanted to make films, not just star in them. So it's a different- And comedy nerd ... and a comedy nerd, right? [laughs] It's, it's a different mentality for somebody, I think, who wants to be in front of the camera, and that's your single aspiration, to someone who likes that, but it's a part of a much broader
