So we just want to I'll chime in and be like no he's not there for the right reasons or whatever I so with this. I kind of said I don't think my thing I just on black Klansmen was like I'm not really looking to do that and he said Norman to come up with a format and this worked for me because I don't have to ask. Questions or doing research I just kind of show up and go on this adventure with them and it's kind of like I'm their buddy on the adventure right so I I guess like most people 1st got to know you because I was a huge fan of That seventy's Show thank you it was my 1st audition I was crazy so you do a high school play and then it's a couple years later that you get this call I was playing tennis in high school and I was really I'm not you know shock you guys but I'm not that much of an athlete and I got on to the varsity team and so psyched I sprained my ankle so I couldn't do it and I've been in the play once or twice and I thought I'm a child for the lead in the play and I got it and the girl who did the sets her parents Ruby's huge Hollywood producers and then the next year I went to u.s.c. And they said since you're in kind of a quick story and I have to hear it they called me in my dorm and I was like wasted I and one says hi it's Bonnie this is Bonnie and Terry Turner wrote Wayne's World and Tommy boy and they ran s n l And I mean these are the I knew they were a big deal. She said hey it's Bonnie and I was like hey sorry I was like No you're like we you know what like I'm Lindsay's mom and I was like I like detention you know it was and then she was cool enough to say we have this thing we want you to bring a head shot in a resume to this address and come tryout for it and I went.

Like the roller coaster shut or you're only one of the role I thought of going to go to amazing just to do it and so I was. So that's where I was at at the very end. And since that I mean you just continuously act all kinds of to. Generals' you did not get stuck in the loop of playing you know the lovable straight man nerd that you play where you can find David Duke to be kind. And you're in the ladies season a black mirror you know they believe our the c.e.o. Of a Twitter like social network called Smith the rain now of course the show plays on everybody's anxieties about technology and what is going to ruin our lives and media did challenge any of your own feelings about social media. You know what was great about the carriage I don't want to spoil anything for anyone seen it but the character is kind of going through a relationship with his company these created that is very much like how I feel about social media which is I like everyone has an i Phone and and then everyone now is going where I spend so much time on this right I mean everyone show of hands who's conflicted about how much time they spend looking at their i Phone it goes fine really you guys are conflicted at all. You're spending too much time on your i Phone period like it's official but so he's kind of going through he is that relationship with his company that I think most people kind of have with that technology so I have to ask about this because I find it fascinating you you really edit popular films like Star Wars and The Hobbit. This is the nerdiest hobby of all time. And I'm so sorry I tweeted about it once. But my friend Jeff Yorks who is a real trailer cutter. Our wives are out of town a revote have kids who are like we're going to do we got this one weekend and this is how dorky it's gotten for us we decided we're going to cut take all 10 Star Wars films and put it into a trailer which is a hard thing to do and we like kind of stayed up late I mean it was like fun it was like being back to boarding school or something and then we tweeted out and it had like a 1000000 views in like 2 seconds like I couldn't believe what the families are and then Disney called us snow jokes and we thought it was to sue us right cease and desist I and they said we want you to do that but we want to pay you to do it for Toy Story so now it's like a kind of a side hustle fun thing that we did and it's being released on pictures You Tube account is that right Pixar release that we yeah Pixar Yeah it's crazy yeah your little side hobby that you don't do professionally is taking off I have to sign n d A's and we're doing one now but I signed an m.b.a.

You know somewhere in Brooklyn Yes All right so here's how this game works I'm going to give you clues about a breakfast cereal you can ring in as soon as you think you know the answer but if you are wrong your opponent will get to hear the rest of the clues Ok tyrant the idea for this breakfast cereal came when its inventor thought about mixing Cheerios with circus peanuts. Honey Nut Cheerios Arturo I'm sorry that is incorrect back to Utah for the marshmallows in the cereal are called Maher bets. In 1975 in New England a character named Waldo with the wizard briefly replace this serials mascot lucky the leprechaun I saw. Lucky Charms That's right that's right lucky charm.

So I was you know you just danced when you came on stage and I read that when you were 17 you actually started your showbiz career in a hip hop the boy band in Guatemala called the unknown Yes it was it goes deeper than that Ok I want to friends here who is a hip hop Spanish cover band called the unknowns and the thing is our manager thought that we needed a softer side so we had this like really sort of like you know we're dressed in food who were like we thought we were they were you know and then we need a softer side so she's like oh you guys should do a Spanish rendition of Baby I love you way it didn't go down very well with the crowd we lost all street cred immediately you know. Because really. Like because I look at them not you know like yeah they're like Ok. Baby the kid with the. So I can go back to what I'm on now but. What was what was the boy band like with the different characters like the sensitive one and the bad boy. They were yeah yeah definitely mean we were all sort of like Mama's boys really. You know the unknown's. It came because we're about to do this thing called the telephone and they're like What is the bank called in our managers like had this moment of inspiration is like Well nobody knows you so the unknown. There's huge confidence boost before you go on as they write it's always great when your manager is working with his 1st draft. I'm just shoot for the hit. That's right so you moved to New York 2005 is shallow who gave you this Ciccio good you were 20 I was about 10 when you know about you're doing Ok so you moved to New York you want to act and make gets to comedy except I was like yeah I want to make it yes I mean here with that intention rights you will you know yes and it was I just really wanted to learn sort of the craft I didn't come your Of course I wanted to make it but I never had sort of a clear plan of like you know movie star wanted to play with my imaginary friends for a living Did you also work day jobs to make ends meet while you were pursuing a you know my day job was actually sort of cool which I did drama therapy. Yeah I used to go into Thank you the one person that took your patient turned through the reasons. I try to be a waiter for 2 weeks and I sucked at it yeah. About 2 weeks into the training this guy was there and he was like 6 years old he's like oh what are you doing I'm like oh I'm an actor and he's like oh I used to be an actor voice start here and I was like. It's. Nothing I did catering afterwards like the service industry is awesome I just really clumsy and I'm really about a getting yelled out from you know it's also about money being addictive right if I could work a shift and it pays $300.00 on a good night or whatever I'm not going to do that off on Broadway play that might get me seen you know so I had to hustle extra hard to make ends meet as an actor right I never took another job that wasn't performing so you were on Broad City for 5 seasons not. You played a lot of roommate Hi I'm a and this was obviously a breakout role for you and your character had a very distinct way of speaking yes I'm going to be like the yes I don't know anybody. What were your Jaime influences Jaime best friends call is a guy named Jaime his voice is deeper than that yeah he does have an accent and he dresses so fabulously but he's a little more like you know puppy I love what you're doing you know but when I moved to this part of Jaime It was sort of like my wide eyed version of like oh my god New York was so amazing that you get really excited and you know my words wouldn't come at the same time that my brain was thinking you know and so that's sort of like the blend that I did for I mean yeah and now you have your own show I don't see how many I don't watch it. Called alternative to you know with our Turbo Castro so you play all the characters outside of cars you know like stuff you know like you know I just I think that sketch has always been so fun for me and those of you want to play a plethora of you know the diversity they entail as being Latin and not be like most of our stuff how maybe like 60 percent has nothing to do with being Latin but I really wanted to challenge and see if I could play $42.00 characters in one season you know so what was it like putting together the writers' room for the show they've got a diverse writers' room but it was tricky because for the packet to get to our table they had to have an agent write the writing package the writing packets is what people used to be writing jobs exactly. I saw that there was our most of our submissions were really funny way to the problem is that if you haven't worked before you probably haven't got an agent if you don't get an agent then you're probably not going to wind up on our desk you know I'm saying like writers are relying on her. Though But I thought that's sort of a catch $22.00 in that sense but we found some incredibly gifted people and we managed to have a least 3 Latin next people in the room. Wow yeah now before the show we asked you you know what were your interests and you said that you are really into chess yes very very good luck with the ladies. Was very popular sport in the high school did you play all through school I played as a hobby but I'm pretty good you know the chess hustlers in Washington Square Park Your so I would hustle them because if I needed like cash or whatever I would like to pretend to be an Amway student back and like I'm in grad school and so they were like just play chess play so I would lose the 1st game and then I'd like take them in town double or nothing for a couple more times and I did this about 3 times and the 3rd time this guy that did not look like he frequent in there it was like I know what you're doing and this is the last time you do it. And now he is my spouse so that was something no. But anyway yes I love chess because it's sort of my brain is so overactive in a sense and this focus forced me to focus Yeah you know and think ahead there's something it's like I'm out of the right like there's something about math when the equation clicks in your mind it's just a very satisfying feeling yeah so much I'm addicted to mind games u.k. Perfect All right perfect Are you ready for your Ask Me Another challenge Sure Yes All right so we wrote a chess quiz for you Oh good because I know nothing about the answer to the final this most but choice got your good hand so and if you do well enough listener Janice Lindstrom from Dallas Texas will win and ask me another Rubik's Cube Oh give it a shot to win a game of chess see you must checkmate your opponent or force them to resign so according to Miriam Webster the word Checkmate is derived from a Persian phrase meaning what a ultimate failure be the king is unable to escape or c I am the better nerd. I'm going to go with b. Yes. Yes. Thank you yeah perfect.
