Jim Jarmusch called to talk about this movie

00:06

and you know of course, yes, wanted to meet him.

00:09

I didn't know anything about the movie,

00:11

but I didn't really care, I kind of just read the script

00:14

as a formality, I would've done anything that he,

00:17

if it was like a commercial for Rolaids I would've been

00:20

interested in doing it.

00:21

But it was about a poet and a bus driver.

00:24

I thought it would be good to write poetry during it but,

00:27

God, no one will ever see that, it was so, so bad.

00:32

It was the first thing that I grabbed at the end of the day,

00:35

end of the shoot, the book of poetry that I've been writing

00:38

'cause I didn't want anybody to get their hands on it.

00:40

Oh I got a dog for my birthday, that was my favorite thing.

00:43

I look at my dog [laughing] it sounds so absurd,

00:46

but it's not, I don't know that I could love anything more,

00:48

like have a kid maybe and be like,

00:52

but the dog. [laughing]

00:55

But actually we didn't get the dog on my birthday, I got it

00:57

on Halloween, I hate Halloween.

01:00

My birthday's in November but my wife got me a dog.

01:04

We kinda skipped outta town when all these trickortreaters

01:06

'cause apparently we hate kids too.

01:10

And we went to the pound in Long Island which is

01:13

a motley crew of people.

01:16

Mine's a pit mix and his brother was being bought

01:18

by somebody else, this other couple

01:21

who were gonna name him Fettuccine Alfredo or something.

01:24

What the fuck are you talking about?

01:26

Moose.

01:27

Moose is our dog, he looks like a moose.

01:29

He's very big, he's like 70 pounds.

01:32

I kept bothering her about getting a dog for a while.

01:35

I think it was just, I was on a tangent at Halloween,

01:38

fucking Halloween, what a ridiculous holiday, bullshit.

01:42

If I had a dog, play with my dog on Halloween

01:44

I don't have to see fucking kids all the time.

01:46

And she's like, well I'm getting you a goddamn dog

01:47

for your birthday so shut up.

01:49

I'm like oh really?

01:50

Let's go right now, let's go get a dog right now!

01:52

01:53

Fuck all this candy shit, we'll just leave it downstairs!

01:57

They just come in the lobby anyway.

01:58

We saw a dog [laughing] online that we liked.

02:01

Then before we went just to kind of,

02:03

and we went in, we were like, oh is Rusty here?

02:06

And they were like what did you say?

02:08

We were like, there's a dog Rusty, is Rusty here?

02:10

And they were like hold on one second.

02:11

And then they left and someone came back.

02:13

They were like, are you asking about Rusty?

02:15

And we were like yeah.

02:17

And they were like where do you guys live?

02:19

I'm like what the fuck?

02:20

Rusty's an interesting, he's a unique dog.

02:23

We're like fuck it!

02:24

We're not gonna, fuck Rusty. [laughing]

02:27

Show us the puppies.

02:28

And so there's a sick puppy section

02:30

and then a healthy puppy section.

02:32

So we're like, that's clear.

02:33

We'll go to the healthy puppy section. [laughing]

02:36

Who are they gonna bring up?

02:37

You wanna meet Rusty.

02:38

What if he was totally calm?

02:40

A serial killer.

02:42

[inhaling] Hey guys I'm Rusty.

02:45

I would say, a first probably kiss that I remember was

02:50

at school during lunch.

02:52

I can't remember, I always look at kids I'm like

02:55

02:57

02:58

And like, oh I'm 12, freshman in high school

03:01

or middle school, I can't remember.

03:04

Maybe this is going in a dark place.

03:05

You know when you're little and you're with church.

03:09

Never mind, forget that, forget that time.

03:11

Like when you're five and there's like a 40 year old

03:13
