I WANT TO KNOW IF I HAVE TO GET BACK IN THE BODY CAST. I WOULD LIKE FOR THAT CHAPTER
TO BE CLOSED Jimmy: THAT'S NOT THE MOST FUN PART OF THE SHOW
NO. HONESTLY, JUST LIE DOWN. IT'S AN EASY JOB
Jimmy: YEAH, I GUESS SO WE'LL SEE I HAVE NO CLUE
Jimmy: IS THE KATE BUSH SONG, "RUNNING UP THAT HILL," HAS THAT BEEN YOUR THEME SONG
FOR THE PAST YEAR. IT HAS. Jimmy: DOES IT FOLLOW YOU
AROUND IT DOES I WAS IN -- MOST RECENTLY, I
WAS IN BERLIN THE IN A VERY TINY CAFE. IT WAS JUST ME AND MY FRIEND,
WE'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE THERE. AND THEN OF COURSE THE SONG STARTS PLAYING, AND EVERYONE IN
THE RESTAURANT IS KIND OF LIKE -- ALL THE SERVERS ARE LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
WHAT'S SHE GOING TO DO?" [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: "IS SHE GOING TO
START LEVITATING WHAT'S HAPPENING?" THAT'S MY CUE TO GO
Jimmy: YEAH, WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE. I WAS IN A CLUB ONCE -- BACK IN
THE DAY WHEN WE WENT TO CLUBS. OKAY. Jimmy: GOSH
"WE USED TO HAVE A THING CALLED CLUBS. [ LAUGHTER ]
"EVERY YOUNG KID WAS THERE." BUT I WENT TO THE CLUB AND AXLE ROSE WAS THERE.
I LOVE AXLE ROSE HE WAS SITTING THERE, AND THEY START PLAYING "SWEET CHILD OF
MINE." AND HE JUST STOOD UP SLOWLY, AND HE GOES --
HE DIDN'T WANT IT [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: THEY SHOULD'VE TURNED

Jimmy: YOU ARE -- IT'S POWERFUL IT'S POWERFUL.
IT IS POWERFUL WHAT A PERFORMANCE BOTH OF YOU GUYS
DID YOU KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO GET IT WHEN YOU AUDITIONED IT? HONESTLY, I THOUGHT I KIND
OF BUTCHERED IT BECAUSE I HAD TO DO THE AUDITION OVER ZOOM WITH DARREN ARONOVSKY, THE
DIRECTOR, AND BRENDAN FRASER, WHO PLAYED BY DAD IN IT. AND IT WAS THE FINAL SCENE OF
THE MOVIE -- IF ANYONE HAS SEEN IT IT'S A VERY, VERY INTENSE
SCENE. Jimmy: THAT WAS THE AUDITION
YES, THAT, AND THEN THE FIRST SCENE. BUT THEN TO DO IT OVER ZOOM,
KIND OF -- Jimmy: IT'S ONE OF THE MOST EMOTIONAL.
-- TRYING TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER SO, I HUNG UP AND I WAS LIKE,
"OH, I'M NEVER GOING TO SEE THESE PEOPLE AGAIN [ LAUGHTER ]
THAT'S IT. Jimmy: YOU'RE LIKE, "COME ON, BRO.
LET'S DO 'CATS' ONE MORE TIME. [ LAUGHTER ] YEAH, I KNOW.

BUT THEN -- WELL, YOU GOT IT AND YOU CRUSHED IT HAVE YOU'VE BEEN GETTING CALLS
AND TEXTS FROM EVERYBODY SAYING HOW GOOD YOU ARE YES, I HAVE
BUT I'M KIND OF GOING THROUGH A PHONE ISSUE RIGHT NOW. BECAUSE MY PHONE BROKE, AND I
DON'T BACK IT UP AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THE CLOUD IS OR ANYTHING
SO, I LOST ALL MY CONTACTS SO, PEOPLE ARE SENDING REALLY SWEET MESSAGES, BUT I JUST
DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE. AND SOMETIMES I CAN USE CONTEXT CLUES AND PIECE THINGS
TOGETHER Jimmy: LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN
LIKE, NOAH SCHNAPP, FOR EXAMPLE, HE TEXTED ME THE OTHER DAY.
Jimmy: YEAH AND HE ALWAYS SAYS MY NAME FIRST, LIKE, "SADIE.
I WAS LIKE, "OH, OKAY. Jimmy: THAT'S NOAH. SO YOU'RE LIKE, "THANK YOU,
NOAH I APPRECIATE." BUT EVERYONE ELSE, I HAVE NO
CLUE Jimmy: THEY'RE LIKE, "GREAT JOB.
"THANK YOU. AND JUST TRYING TO GATHER CONTEXT CLUES.
Jimmy: SO, IF ANYONE'S GOTTEN KIND OF A DUD OF A RESPONSE FROM SADIE --
HONESTLY, I'M REALLY GLAD THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN HORRIBLE
AND IF ANY OF MY FRIENDS ARE WATCHING IT, LIKE, JUST SEND YOUR NAME WITH A TEXT MESSAGE.
Jimmy: JUST SAY, "SADIE, CHECKING IN AGAIN, THIS IS MY NAME."
YEAH. Jimmy: CAN WE SET UP WHAT "THE WHALE" IS ABOUT FOR
EVERYONE YEAH, "THE WHALE" IS ABOUT A MAN NAMED CHARLIE WHO IS A
A RECLUSIVE ENGLISH TEACHER. AND HE LOST THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE
AND EVER SINCE HE DIED, HE HAS KIND OF HAS BEEN SPIRALING INTO THIS DEEP DEPRESSION
HAS BEEN SELF-MEDICATING WITH FOOD AND THE MOVIE IS KIND OF SET
DURING WHAT IS LIKELY THE LAST WEEK OF HIS LIFE SO, HE ATTEMPTS TO RECONNECT
