directed, he starred in it.

[Groans and hiccups]

And Ub looks at him,
and he says, what about a mouse.
7
00:00:27,277 --> 00:00:31,277
And Walt Disney, he's like
yeah, let's do that.
8
00:00:31,312 --> 00:00:33,277
Nancy Davis, she knows
I got... I got to talk to
9
00:00:33,312 --> 00:00:36,277
the President of the screen
actors' guild, Ronald Reagan.
10
00:00:36,312 --> 00:00:38,277
I've had a bottle of whiskey,

to do.

2x06 - Hollywood
15
00:00:56,277 --> 00:00:59,277
Old Hollywood was like
liberally glamorous.
16
00:00:59,322 --> 00:01:02,287
It was innate in those people,
and nowadays,
17
00:01:02,331 --> 00:01:04,296
it just feels constructed
but super inauthentic.
18
00:01:04,338 --> 00:01:09,303
All of those people
had like a certain class.
19
00:01:09,353 --> 00:01:13,318
And you didn't know anything about
Jimmy Stewart, but you wanted to.
20
00:01:13,366 --> 00:01:16,331
Whereas now, if he was on Twitter,
21
00:01:16,376 --> 00:01:19,341
you'd know everything about Jimmy
Stewart and you wouldn't care.
22
00:01:19,385 --> 00:01:22,350
This was before cell phones,
it's before iPads,
23
00:01:22,395 --> 00:01:25,907
before people had other
distractions. back in the day, that
24
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:29,371
was the magic, that silver...
what was on the silver-screen.
25
00:01:29,417 --> 00:01:31,188
- Bergie.
- Waters.
26
00:01:31,388 --> 00:01:32,388
How many beers will we have?
27
00:01:32,426 --> 00:01:34,391
We'll have as many as it takes
to tell a good story.
28
00:01:34,433 --> 00:01:36,398
That's a many.
29
00:01:37,407 --> 00:01:42,407
- Oh, you've already been drinking.
- Drippies.
30
00:01:42,458 --> 00:01:44,423
I'm really drunk right now.
31
00:01:44,465 --> 00:01:45,430
[Chuckles]
32
00:01:45,468 --> 00:01:47,433
Yeah, is it bad?
33
00:01:47,474 --> 00:01:51,439
Hello, today we are going to be
discussing Orson Welles,
34
00:01:51,487 --> 00:01:53,452
and William Randolph Hearst.
35
00:01:56,468 --> 00:01:59,468
William Randolph Hearst was the
biggest media mogul in America.
36
00:01:59,512 --> 00:02:02,477
Three out of five people
read a Hearst paper.
37
00:02:02,522 --> 00:02:05,487
He had owned 25% of the world's
most valuable art,
38
00:02:05,531 --> 00:02:07,172
the second biggest private zoo
in the world,
39
00:02:07,251 --> 00:02:09,502
he had started
to build San Simeon.
40
00:02:09,544 --> 00:02:13,509
The [bleep] property was like
half the size of Rhode Island, man.
41
00:02:13,557 --> 00:02:15,522
Not his wife,
but this woman, Marion Davies,
42
00:02:15,563 --> 00:02:20,528
next thing you know she's living
in San Simeon, loving it.
43
00:02:20,579 --> 00:02:22,124
Meanwhile, Orson Welles,
44
00:02:22,198 --> 00:02:26,549
a boy genius prodigy,
had just done "War of the Worlds."
45
00:02:26,598 --> 00:02:30,563
Orson would say things
like tonight at 7:52 P.M.
46
00:02:30,611 --> 00:02:34,203
We spotted a craft
entering Earth's atmosphere.
47
00:02:34,295 --> 00:02:37,587
It lands on
the white house lawn, yes, yes.
48
00:02:37,633 --> 00:02:39,598
Hollywood came a-knockin',
49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,604
and they said Orson, babe,
what do you want, babe?
50
00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:46,620
You want a... you want a
three-picture deal?
51
00:02:46,661 --> 00:02:48,626
We don't say a word,
all the money you want, babe?
52
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:52,414
Done.
Green lit, done [Bleep] deal.
53
00:02:54,343 --> 00:02:58,651
Orson's having some late-night,
probably hammered, cocktails
54
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:02,516
with a one Herman Mankiewicz,
screenwriter,
55
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:04,677
and Mankiewicz all of a sudden
starts going like,
56
00:03:04,719 --> 00:03:07,684
yeah, I was... I was at
San Simeon the other week,
57
00:03:07,728 --> 00:03:10,693
and Orson's like,
you have inside info
58
00:03:10,738 --> 00:03:14,703
and... and like little juicy
tidbits of what's happening
59
00:03:14,750 --> 00:03:16,715
- at the Hearst castle?
- He's like, oh, yeah.
60
00:03:16,757 --> 00:03:20,722
He's like,
oh [Bleep], I have an inside guy.
61
00:03:20,769 --> 00:03:24,734
- Do tell, do tell.
- I partied there regular.
62
00:03:24,782 --> 00:03:27,747
I'm having drinks, smoking cigs,
drinking champy,
63
00:03:27,792 --> 00:03:31,757
having delicious appetizers
with Marion Davies
64
00:03:31,804 --> 00:03:35,769
and Dougie Fairbanks
and all those people, loving it.
65
00:03:35,817 --> 00:03:39,782
He's witnessing this stuff
first hand of [Chokes] hold on.
66
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:41,795
[Bleep]
67
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,604
Sorry, whiskey beard.
68
00:03:44,645 --> 00:03:47,288
[Laughs and burps]
69
00:03:47,297 --> 00:03:48,618
Oh, mama.
70
00:03:48,658 --> 00:03:51,098
But then Hearst would leave
these parties and go out and
71
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:53,630
spread all his newspapers out
and just lord over his powers,
72
00:03:53,674 --> 00:03:57,639
like I control media,
which controls the world.
73
00:03:57,686 --> 00:03:58,651
I am [Bleep] God.
74
00:03:58,689 --> 00:04:02,654
And Orson goes stop.
75
00:04:03,705 --> 00:04:09,670
I need you to write me
a screenplay about this,
76
00:04:09,724 --> 00:04:12,689
and I am going to make it
into a feature film.
77
00:04:15,708 --> 00:04:17,708
Deal was made.
78
00:04:17,750 --> 00:04:22,715
Orson Welles knew that we need
to kind of keep this top secret,
79
00:04:23,032 --> 00:04:26,732
and keep it under wraps
because of Hearst.
80
00:04:26,778 --> 00:04:28,743
Mankiewicz would pound
out the pages,
81
00:04:28,785 --> 00:04:30,750
Orson Welles kept on
reading this stuff,
82
00:04:30,791 --> 00:04:34,756
he was like,
this is amazing screenwriting.
83
00:04:34,804 --> 00:04:38,769
This is gonna be
the best movie ever,
84
00:04:38,816 --> 00:04:42,781
like I'm making a [Bleep]
kickass movie man.
85
00:04:42,829 --> 00:04:45,794
Capiche?
86
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,776
He wrote, produced,
directed, he starred in it.
87
00:04:50,983 --> 00:04:53,820
When the movie was complete,
88
00:04:53,864 --> 00:04:55,829
the most powerful
gossip columnist of the time,
89
00:04:55,870 --> 00:04:59,835
she said to Hearst, they made
Marion Davies look like
90
00:04:59,883 --> 00:05:02,848
a complete floozy, horrible person.
91
00:05:02,893 --> 00:05:05,858
I mean the... the whole movie
was basically trashing
92
00:05:05,902 --> 00:05:06,867
the Hearst name.
93
00:05:06,905 --> 00:05:10,870
Hearst hears about
this, and he sees red.
94
00:05:10,918 --> 00:05:13,883
He starts threatening
any newspaper out there
95
00:05:13,928 --> 00:05:18,893
if you put a review, if you put
an ad out for this, you're done.
96
00:05:18,944 --> 00:05:21,909
He told every movie theatre,
if you run this movie,
97
00:05:21,953 --> 00:05:27,918
we will never place an ad for
one of your films ever again.
98
00:05:27,972 --> 00:05:28,937
So.
99
00:05:29,943 --> 00:05:34,943
Hmm, um.
100
00:05:36,966 --> 00:05:40,966
- Oh, what was I talking about?
- Citizen Kane?
101
00:05:41,013 --> 00:05:42,337
[Laughs]
102
00:05:42,343 --> 00:05:45,983
That was very general,
103
00:05:46,029 --> 00:05:50,994
um [Laughs]
so, RKO called Orson Welles
104
00:05:51,045 --> 00:05:54,010
at two in the morning and said
Orson,
105
00:05:54,055 --> 00:05:59,020
no one is going to show your film.
106
00:05:59,071 --> 00:06:04,036
Wonderful, show it in tents.
Put up a quote that says,
107
00:06:04,086 --> 00:06:09,051
"the movie that no one
will let you see."
108
00:06:09,102 --> 00:06:14,067
As fate would have it, Orson and
William Randolph Hearst
109
00:06:14,118 --> 00:06:15,083
were in the same elevator.
110
00:06:15,121 --> 00:06:20,086
Welles and Hearst never
look at each other.
111
00:06:25,118 --> 00:06:30,118
Orson says, so Mr. Hearst,
did you see my film?
112
00:06:30,169 --> 00:06:33,134
He said, no, and I never will.
113
00:06:33,179 --> 00:06:36,144
And he said,
Kane would've seen it.
114
00:06:36,188 --> 00:06:41,153
Kane would have seen the film!
115
00:06:42,172 --> 00:06:47,172
It got nominated
for nine academy awards.
116
00:06:47,223 --> 00:06:50,188
They won one Oscar
for best screenplay.
117
00:06:50,233 --> 00:06:53,198
William Randolph Hearst
hated, loathed,
118
00:06:53,242 --> 00:06:56,207
and wanted to crush the movie,
119
00:06:56,252 --> 00:07:01,415
but that's where his legacy
is remembered, as Kane.
120
00:07:02,271 --> 00:07:06,236
is the great [Bleep] movie, dude.
121
00:07:06,283 --> 00:07:10,248
It is haunting and there's
nothing like that movie at all.
122
00:07:10,296 --> 00:07:11,995
There's nothing will ever
be like the movie.
123
00:07:12,016 --> 00:07:16,266
It is such a wonderful
[Bleep] thing, I love it.
124
00:07:16,315 --> 00:07:21,280
And he would... also did the voice
in the Transformers movie.
125
00:07:21,331 --> 00:07:22,296
[Laughs]
126
00:07:24,305 --> 00:07:27,305
Are you [Bleep] kidding me?
127
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:30,315
This is... what?
128
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,325
No, I'm out of here.
129
00:07:36,335 --> 00:07:39,867
[music]
130
00:07:43,364 --> 00:07:47,364
- Both: Cheers.
- All right, let's... let's learn.
131
00:07:47,562 --> 00:07:51,527
Hello, today we're talking
about Ub Iwerks,
132
00:07:51,575 --> 00:07:54,540
the creator of Mickey Mouse.
133
00:07:54,584 --> 00:08:00,549
So our story starts in 1919
in Kansas City, USA.
134
00:08:00,603 --> 00:08:05,568
Walt Disney was a draftsman.
Ub Iwerks was an animator.
135
00:08:05,619 --> 00:08:09,584
Ub goes, hey Walt, what if we
were to put a live action person
136
00:08:09,632 --> 00:08:14,597
- into an animated frame?
- Yes, that's it.
137
00:08:14,648 --> 00:08:16,613
They create something called
the Alice Comedies,
138
00:08:16,654 --> 00:08:18,619
but there's no money in it.
139
00:08:18,660 --> 00:08:21,625
And Walt, though, is ambitious.
140
00:08:21,670 --> 00:08:22,635
He goes off to California
141
00:08:22,673 --> 00:08:27,638
and he goes to the head of
Universal Animation, Charles Mintz.
142
00:08:27,689 --> 00:08:30,654
And he was like, this is
amazing, I can use this,
143
00:08:30,699 --> 00:08:35,664
but the quality
has to be as good.
144
00:08:36,682 --> 00:08:41,682
Walt's like, Ub,
get out here, ASAP.
145
00:08:41,733 --> 00:08:44,698
Yo, this is better than being
in Kansas City,
146
00:08:44,743 --> 00:08:47,753
'cause Kansas City is like
you could like give me the
147
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:50,718
deed to the city and I still
wouldn't even stay there.
148
00:08:50,762 --> 00:08:54,727
And he drives the seven days
to California.
149
00:08:54,775 --> 00:08:58,740
He takes these...
oh no, let me back up.
150
00:08:58,787 --> 00:09:02,752
At this point, Ub came up
with Oswald, the lucky rabbit.
151
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,765
So Oswald is great for Universal.
152
00:09:07,816 --> 00:09:09,781
And Walt goes to Charles Mintz
and he says,
153
00:09:09,822 --> 00:09:14,787
listen, we are [Bleep] killing it,
154
00:09:14,838 --> 00:09:16,803
time for you to pay us
some more money.
155
00:09:16,845 --> 00:09:19,810
And Mintz, Mintz looks at him
and he laughs.
156
00:09:19,854 --> 00:09:22,819
[Laughs]
I'm gonna give you less money.
157
00:09:22,864 --> 00:09:28,372
And Mintz goes,
I have signed all of your animators,
158
00:09:28,848 --> 00:09:32,848
and I own Oswald, he's mine.
159
00:09:32,895 --> 00:09:36,136
Walt Disney vowed from that day,
160
00:09:36,485 --> 00:09:43,213
not only will I ever not own
any character I create,
161
00:09:43,374 --> 00:09:46,894
I will never not own them.
162
00:09:46,940 --> 00:09:50,905
They-the [Laughs]
I think.
163
00:09:50,953 --> 00:09:54,918
He said to Ub,
Ub, you with me?
164
00:09:54,965 --> 00:09:58,930
And Ub, yet again,
left with Walt Disney,
165
00:09:58,978 --> 00:10:00,943
and Ub said to him,
what are we doing Walt?
166
00:10:00,984 --> 00:10:05,949
And Walt's like, we need a
character, Ub, what do you got?
167
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,965
- What about a horse?
- Nope.
168
00:10:08,007 --> 00:10:09,972
- What about a dog?
- Nope.
169
00:10:10,013 --> 00:10:10,978
[Sighs]
What about a cat?
170
00:10:11,016 --> 00:10:13,981
No, man, we got enough cats.
171
00:10:14,026 --> 00:10:15,991
We got Felix the cat,
there's a lot of cats out there.
172
00:10:16,032 --> 00:10:19,997
- What else you got?
- What about a mouse?
173
00:10:20,045 --> 00:10:23,010
Walt's like,
yeah, let's do that.
174
00:10:23,054 --> 00:10:28,019
But what happened next
was all Ub Iwerks, okay?
175
00:10:28,070 --> 00:10:31,035
So Ub locked himself in the studio,
176
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,045
and he churns out 600 to 700
frames a day, unheard of.
177
00:10:36,096 --> 00:10:39,061
He did two months of animation
in two weeks,
178
00:10:39,105 --> 00:10:43,070
and he created a character,
Mickey Mouse.
179
00:10:43,118 --> 00:10:46,083
He sat down and drew
that cartoon plain crazy,
180
00:10:46,127 --> 00:10:48,092
Walt loves it,
but he goes you know what?
181
00:10:48,134 --> 00:10:51,482
We need something bigger,
and Ub was like,
182
00:10:51,607 --> 00:10:53,706
but what if we could
sync sound to it?
183
00:10:53,802 --> 00:10:57,117
What if we did our next cartoon
where we could see
184
00:10:57,162 --> 00:11:01,127
the action happening in the time
with the music,
185
00:11:01,175 --> 00:11:05,140
and Walt was like
yeah, let's do sync sound.
186
00:11:05,188 --> 00:11:09,153
So steambay... so steam mill...
187
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,886
so Steamboat Willie comes out
and it blows audiences away.
188
00:11:13,923 --> 00:11:16,180
They went,
I can see that mouse whistling.
189
00:11:16,223 --> 00:11:18,188
I can hear the mouse whistling,
oh my God,
190
00:11:18,229 --> 00:11:23,194
this mouse is whistling along
with what his mouth is doing.
191
00:11:23,245 --> 00:11:25,210
There's [Bleep] sync sound.
192
00:11:25,251 --> 00:11:26,910
There were standing ovations.
193
00:11:27,114 --> 00:11:30,222
Mickey Mouse became
an icon overnight.
194
00:11:30,267 --> 00:11:32,232
He was referenced
in movies and songs,
195
00:11:32,407 --> 00:11:37,171
and it creates Disney.
196
00:11:37,187 --> 00:11:40,254
Like this em... embellishes
their mice to everybody.
197
00:11:40,299 --> 00:11:45,264
They know that this is like
the game has changed.
198
00:11:45,315 --> 00:11:48,280
With the added pressures
of Mickey doing really well,
199
00:11:48,324 --> 00:11:50,289
Disney, he wanted to oversee
every bit of production.
200
00:11:50,331 --> 00:11:52,296
Hey, you got to meet
this timing sheet
201
00:11:52,337 --> 00:11:57,302
and we got to be here by then,
and productivity and [Groans].
202
00:11:57,353 --> 00:11:59,318
Now at a party in Hollywood,
203
00:11:59,359 --> 00:12:01,324
a little kid came up
to Walt Disney, he's like,
204
00:12:01,365 --> 00:12:05,330
hey, Mr. Walt Disney,
I love Mickey Mouse.
205
00:12:05,378 --> 00:12:07,343
Would you draw me a picture of him?
206
00:12:07,384 --> 00:12:08,850
Walt's like, sure, kid,
207
00:12:08,987 --> 00:12:11,415
I'll draw you a picture
of Mickey Mouse,
208
00:12:11,457 --> 00:12:14,362
and he handed the paper
to Ub Iwerks,
209
00:12:14,407 --> 00:12:20,372
and Ub goes,
whoa, are you [Bleep] kidding me?
210
00:12:20,426 --> 00:12:22,391
This is... what?
211
00:12:22,432 --> 00:12:26,980
No, I'm out of here.
212
00:12:31,485 --> 00:12:33,485
Okay, so let's go back.
213
00:12:33,526 --> 00:12:37,491
So... where was I?
Ub and?
214
00:12:37,539 --> 00:12:41,504
- Oh, Walt Disney?
- And Ub starts Iwerks Animation.
215
00:12:41,552 --> 00:12:43,517
Crazy stuff happened in his cartoons.
216
00:12:43,558 --> 00:12:45,523
You know, girls dresses
would blow off
217
00:12:45,564 --> 00:12:46,529
and, you know, animals
would lose limbs.
218
00:12:46,568 --> 00:12:47,533
Like, it was anarchy.
219
00:12:47,571 --> 00:12:49,536
But the Hays commission comes in.
220
00:12:49,577 --> 00:12:53,542
Those are the guys who were
starting to put limitations
221
00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:55,555
on what you could
and couldn't show,
222
00:12:55,596 --> 00:12:58,561
and they were like
this is not gonna fly anymore,
223
00:12:58,606 --> 00:13:01,571
so that was the end of Iwerks Animation.
224
00:13:01,881 --> 00:13:04,581
A friend of Ub's is working
at Disney studios still.
225
00:13:04,625 --> 00:13:08,590
He's like, Ub's out of work.
You could use him.
226
00:13:09,605 --> 00:13:12,605
Walt agrees to have Ub for lunch.
227
00:13:12,650 --> 00:13:16,615
He says Ub, I want you back.
Please come work for me.
228
00:13:16,663 --> 00:13:19,628
And Ub looks at him
and he says, Walt,
229
00:13:19,672 --> 00:13:21,637
I want to come back
and work for you,
230
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:27,644
but I will never work for you
in animation.
231
00:13:27,698 --> 00:13:30,663
I want to work for you
232
00:13:30,707 --> 00:13:34,187
in photographic effects.
233
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,685
And Walt is like, yeah,
you're the guy for that,
234
00:13:37,730 --> 00:13:39,695
come and do that for me.
235
00:13:39,736 --> 00:13:41,701
He was a rock star for Walt.
236
00:13:41,742 --> 00:13:45,707
He... he... he built stuff
so they could do Mary Poppins,
237
00:13:45,755 --> 00:13:48,720
the Penguin Dance.
He wins a technical Oscar for that.
238
00:13:48,764 --> 00:13:52,729
Ub Iwerks had his hand in every
single ride at Disneyland,
239
00:13:52,777 --> 00:13:55,742
creating the special effects.
240
00:13:55,787 --> 00:13:59,205
And Ub died a Disney legend.
241
00:13:59,561 --> 00:14:04,786
So this is a real Disney ending.
242
00:14:04,815 --> 00:14:08,780
Or, as I like to think,
as I like to think,
243
00:14:08,828 --> 00:14:13,793
this is an Iwerks ending,
'cause he was the man.
244
00:14:13,844 --> 00:14:15,709
- [Clinks glass] To Ub.
- To Ub.
245
00:14:16,417 --> 00:14:19,417
What the [Bleep] kind of name's Ub?
246
00:14:19,462 --> 00:14:20,427
- Hey, how are you?
- How's it going?
247
00:14:20,465 --> 00:14:21,430
- Adam.
- Derek.
248
00:14:21,468 --> 00:14:23,433
- Hi, Derek.
- Nice to meet you Adam.
249
00:14:23,474 --> 00:14:24,439
Hello.
250
00:14:24,477 --> 00:14:26,442
So this is one of the things
that old Hollywood had
251
00:14:26,484 --> 00:14:30,449
- that new Hollywood still has?
- Yes, very much so.
252
00:14:30,497 --> 00:14:32,462
This is my gun,
this is what I use for...
253
00:14:32,503 --> 00:14:34,468
- That's just a door knob.
- That's just a door knob, yeah.
254
00:14:34,509 --> 00:14:36,474
And we can... if they cock it,
255
00:14:36,516 --> 00:14:39,481
if they... if they load bullets into it.
256
00:14:39,525 --> 00:14:42,490
This is like bushes.
This is what we fake for bushes
257
00:14:42,535 --> 00:14:44,500
'cause we can't have trees
in here and stuff like that.
258
00:14:44,541 --> 00:14:45,506
Hey, what's that in the bush?
259
00:14:45,544 --> 00:14:46,509
- Yeah.
- What do you do with this?
260
00:14:46,547 --> 00:14:48,512
[Taps]
It's just a can.
261
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,519
Yeah, I've cut myself many times.
262
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,525
- Oh, cool.
- You probably will as well.
263
00:14:52,566 --> 00:14:53,531
Back off.
264
00:14:53,570 --> 00:14:54,535
[Shing]
265
00:14:55,541 --> 00:14:57,567
Am I like the classic clich� like,
266
00:14:57,709 --> 00:15:00,548
oh he's gonna
be fascinated by that?
267
00:15:00,592 --> 00:15:02,557
Everyone's... everyone's
fascinated with the shing.
268
00:15:02,598 --> 00:15:05,563
All right, let me try
to walk like a lady in here.
269
00:15:05,608 --> 00:15:10,427
[Footsteps]
Sure.
270
00:15:11,627 --> 00:15:14,592
That's...
I'm a lady of the night.
271
00:15:14,636 --> 00:15:17,601
- Do you think I have what it takes?
- I don't.
272
00:15:17,646 --> 00:15:19,806
- Thank you for your honesty.
- You got it.
273
00:15:20,475 --> 00:15:25,440
Hello, I'm Drew Droege.
I've been drinking heavily,
274
00:15:25,491 --> 00:15:28,456
and I'm going to talk to you
all about the Reagans.
275
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:33,465
Ronald, Nancy, and others.
Get ready.
276
00:15:34,484 --> 00:15:36,484
Hu... oh, hi.
277
00:15:36,526 --> 00:15:40,491
So, it's 1949. A young
actress named Nancy Davis
278
00:15:41,506 --> 00:15:44,506
somehow gets on
a communist black list.
279
00:15:44,551 --> 00:15:46,503
She knows I got... I got to talk
280
00:15:46,573 --> 00:15:47,522
to the president of
the screen actors' guild,
281
00:15:47,561 --> 00:15:49,526
Ronald Reagan,
because he's gonna help me.
282
00:15:49,567 --> 00:15:51,532
He was in a movie called Knute Rockne,
283
00:15:51,573 --> 00:15:54,538
and he was in Bedtime for Bonzo.
284
00:15:54,583 --> 00:15:57,548
A lot of people don't remember
Ronald Reagan was very liberal.
285
00:15:57,592 --> 00:15:59,557
This is a guy who's like,
hey, I'm an actor,
286
00:15:59,599 --> 00:16:02,564
I'm the President of the... of
the screen actors' guild,
287
00:16:02,608 --> 00:16:05,573
I love my life, I'm hot,
288
00:16:05,618 --> 00:16:08,583
and pro-union and all that stuff.
289
00:16:08,627 --> 00:16:09,592
Then somebody said to Ronnie,
290
00:16:09,630 --> 00:16:12,595
like, this actress, Nancy Davis,
wants to meet with you.
291
00:16:13,608 --> 00:16:17,608
Ronnie saw Nancy and was like,
she's hot, I'll meet her.
292
00:16:17,656 --> 00:16:19,621
So they met
for dinner afterwards,
293
00:16:19,662 --> 00:16:22,627
and Nancy walks in,
and she is bangin'.
294
00:16:22,672 --> 00:16:26,637
She's like got it all happening.
295
00:16:26,684 --> 00:16:30,649
Spilt... I spilt on myself.
296
00:16:30,697 --> 00:16:31,662
Do you have any drinks...
297
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:35,665
do you have any glasses that are
any smaller... smaller lipped?
298
00:16:35,713 --> 00:16:37,678
We broke into this place,
I don't know whose it is.
299
00:16:37,719 --> 00:16:39,684
Where are we?
300
00:16:39,726 --> 00:16:42,691
[Laughs]
301
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:44,700
During dinner, and you know,
she was like,
302
00:16:44,742 --> 00:16:48,707
I'm on a black list
of the communist party,
303
00:16:48,754 --> 00:16:51,719
and he's like... he was like,
what?
304
00:16:51,764 --> 00:16:54,729
And she was like,
yes. Can you believe it?
305
00:16:54,773 --> 00:16:56,738
And he was like, I can't.
306
00:16:56,780 --> 00:16:58,745
You don't seem like
a communist to me,
307
00:16:58,786 --> 00:17:00,751
and she's like, I'm not.
308
00:17:00,792 --> 00:17:01,757
There was nothing communist
about her,
309
00:17:01,796 --> 00:17:06,436
she was always
rabidly conservative.
310
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:09,776
He got to the bottom of things
and realized it was a clerical error,
311
00:17:09,821 --> 00:17:12,786
so he got her off that list.
312
00:17:12,830 --> 00:17:15,795
And they were like, let's fall in love.
313
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,805
Boom.
314
00:17:17,846 --> 00:17:19,811
Hollywood.
315
00:17:23,946 --> 00:17:25,946
Honestly, like I'm wasted.
316
00:17:25,987 --> 00:17:28,952
- I'm beyond wasted.
- Yeah, so just... pretend you're Nancy...
317
00:17:28,997 --> 00:17:31,962
I've had a bottle...
I've had a bottle of whiskey,
318
00:17:32,006 --> 00:17:33,971
so tell me what you want me to do.
319
00:17:34,012 --> 00:17:34,977
- Just pretend...
- like I'll do whatever
320
00:17:35,016 --> 00:17:36,509
the [Bleep] you want me to do,
321
00:17:36,549 --> 00:17:39,562
but I... I want... I want
to make a good show.
322
00:17:39,606 --> 00:17:40,995
[Laughs]
323
00:17:41,035 --> 00:17:43,000
Okay, yeah. Okay.
324
00:17:43,041 --> 00:17:45,006
The Reagans were married in 1952.
325
00:17:45,047 --> 00:17:48,012
Nancy, you know,
definitely convinced Ronnie,
326
00:17:48,057 --> 00:17:50,022
we're... we are has-beens.
327
00:17:50,063 --> 00:17:52,966
Like we... we're not
gonna make it in Hollywood.
328
00:17:53,038 --> 00:17:56,038
You need to be more conservative.
329
00:17:56,082 --> 00:17:59,047
Ow. Oh, [Bleep].
330
00:17:59,092 --> 00:18:03,057
- You okay? What'd you do?
- I'm fine.
331
00:18:03,105 --> 00:18:08,070
- I stabbed my own eye out.
- How did you stab your eye out?
332
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:09,085
What?
333
00:18:11,130 --> 00:18:15,095
Let's be famous,
you know, politically,
334
00:18:15,143 --> 00:18:18,108
and become the... the faces
of conservatism?
335
00:18:18,152 --> 00:18:20,117
She was basically like his manager.
336
00:18:20,159 --> 00:18:24,124
You need to be the movie star
that you are, always smile,
337
00:18:24,171 --> 00:18:29,136
and hold your head to a half,
45 degree right angle.
338
00:18:29,187 --> 00:18:31,152
I think she, in her mind,
ran her own studio,
339
00:18:31,194 --> 00:18:34,159
and... and... and she had
one... one player,
340
00:18:34,203 --> 00:18:35,984
and that was Ronald Reagan.
341
00:18:36,174 --> 00:18:41,174
Remember, busineth... business.
342
00:18:41,225 --> 00:18:46,190
So it was 1964. Barry Goldwater
was running for president,
343
00:18:46,241 --> 00:18:50,175
a hyper-conservative,
a boring human being.
344
00:18:50,219 --> 00:18:51,965
They employed Ronald Reagan,
345
00:18:52,005 --> 00:18:55,224
who was this famous, great
actor to give the speech.
346
00:18:55,270 --> 00:19:00,235
In the speech he said you can
either go right or left.
347
00:19:00,286 --> 00:19:03,251
But that's not what it is,
it's either up or down.
348
00:19:03,295 --> 00:19:08,260
And up, you ca... you can choose
to be up
349
00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:13,279
towards individualism, or down
350
00:19:13,327 --> 00:19:17,292
in the depths of totalitarianism.
351
00:19:17,340 --> 00:19:20,305
People were like,
wow, I need to watch this.
352
00:19:21,068 --> 00:19:25,316
He has a chiseled jaw, I trust him.
353
00:19:25,365 --> 00:19:27,330
I like this guy.
354
00:19:27,371 --> 00:19:29,336
And so like, then he got very
popular with the Republicans.
355
00:19:29,378 --> 00:19:32,343
So they were not
successful actors as actors,
356
00:19:32,387 --> 00:19:36,352
but they were incredibly
successful actors as politicians.
357
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,365
And Ronnie became
the Governor of California.
358
00:19:38,406 --> 00:19:41,371
Nancy was always
about being famous on any level.
359
00:19:41,416 --> 00:19:43,381
Like, if I'm not going
to be a movie star,
360
00:19:43,422 --> 00:19:47,387
I'm gonna be, you know,
in the White House.
361
00:19:47,435 --> 00:19:49,400
All of sudden, it's the '80s.
362
00:19:49,441 --> 00:19:53,406
He started to run for president.
He made everyone feel good about...
363
00:19:53,454 --> 00:19:56,419
about being American again.
And Nancy coached him.
364
00:19:56,463 --> 00:20:00,428
Nancy was like,
talk about the children,
365
00:20:00,476 --> 00:20:06,455
talk about, um, holidays,
366
00:20:06,475 --> 00:20:10,460
talk about booze,
367
00:20:10,508 --> 00:20:12,473
talk about all of it.
368
00:20:12,514 --> 00:20:14,479
[Laughs]
369
00:20:14,521 --> 00:20:19,486
Landslide won,
because they wanted a hero.
370
00:20:19,536 --> 00:20:20,501
She was in charge.
371
00:20:20,540 --> 00:20:24,505
She did it, and it was... it was
one grand performance,
372
00:20:24,552 --> 00:20:26,517
until the end.
373
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:30,524
Pfft, what are we... what are we
talking about right now?
374
00:20:30,571 --> 00:20:32,577
Just, well...
375
00:20:32,619 --> 00:20:36,094
[burps]
376
00:20:36,590 --> 00:20:39,555
- The end... this is bad.
- Hi, everybody...
377
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,581
I just burped on Comedy Central.
378
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,929
[music]
379
00:21:07,785 --> 00:21:10,785
That's, we need
to kind of keep this top secret,
380
00:21:10,820 --> 00:21:13,785
and keep it under wraps
because of Hearst and...
381
00:21:16,785 --> 00:21:19,785
- [laughter]...Okay.
- You're right, I agree.
382
00:21:19,820 --> 00:21:20,412
- Yeah.
- 100%.
383
00:21:20,447 --> 00:21:21,285
Go back, do it again.
