Hey, what's up? This is Mike Peña for Young Hollywood with Pat Sajak. Mike Peña: Pat Sajak, what's up, people? Mike Peña: Hey, how do you like working on the movie?

Pat Sajak

It's just really fun. I was like, right, I'm a real Tesbian, and I come from the theater, and I just love to commit to my acting role. Mike Peña: Hey, Aziz, how's it going, buddy? Care to comment?

Aziz

What is this? Young Hollywood. Why are you doing the interview? Come on, man.

Young Hollywood

Justin here. I'm here with the cast of 30 Minutes or Less. I have to say, first, you said your dream is like to rob a bank. Did you like even semi-prep for that, to prepare for your role?

Guest

Um, I, I watched a bunch of bank robbery movies uh like uh and I'd seen most of these movies before, but like Heat and Point Break, I watched a bunch to get in that zone. Second guest: Why didn't you just go and do it?

Guest

I should have just done that. I'm a bad actor. I didn't prep properly. Second guest: Get down! Get down on the ground and give me the money in the bank.

Guest

Wait, how am I supposed to get you the money if I'm on the ground? Second guest: Go get the money in the bank, and then get down on the ground afterwards.

Guest

All right, I'll be right back.

Young Hollywood

No, you actually had to like wear a monkey mask and everything, and we're here at Comic Con. What were some of your favorite, favorite costumes here?

Guest

My favorite costumes here. Um, I think the people that trust us was uh uh everyone from Fried Green Tomatoes. I saw them. I thought that was incredible. That panel was packed today.

Young Hollywood

See, now, I brought an extra costume hoping that one of you fine gentlemen would actually put it on. It's a cone head.

Guest

Well, it doesn't match my skin tone. Second guest: Nor yours.

Guest

I think that leaves this guy. Second guest: Whoa, buddy. Am I that pale, am I? Look at that. I think the biggest dickhead.

Guest

Do it. Second guest: Peer pressure. Give in, give in.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. How do you feel right now? Second guest: I I'm a cone head. I actually look better than the make-up in the real movie. My friend did the make-up for that film. Sorry, man.

Guest

Let me wipe my teeth really quick. Star Wars teeth whitening. Look like a prop.

Young Hollywood

Hey, you should try. Do any of y'all like play practical jokes, like while you're on set?

Guest

This guy, we used to call him Prank Sinatra. He would he would do so many of the classics, man. Prank Stallone, that was another nickname.

Young Hollywood

Seriously, what pranks did y'all do?

Guest

One time, uh I filled uh Nick's trailer with a bunch of baby pigglets. Yeah. You remember that? Second guest: 300 baby pigglets. I couldn't even move. I opened the door and they just tidal waved me. Like an eighty. Pigglets running everywhere.

Guest

You know how hard that was to do? It was so hard. 300 pigglets, all with dysentery. On his mirror, I wrote, "This little piggy went into Nick's trailer." Yep. But then I I killed them all and put them in Aziz's trailer and I just wrote on his mirror, "That'll do, pig." That was a classic set prank.

Young Hollywood

Now, you guys worked with Ruben, you know, in the film. How was it working with him? Cause he's on Zombieland and

Guest

He was great. I mean, he was a great director. He was very encouraging of us any ideas we had that we wanted to bring to the character, uh always open to any ideas we had for improv or alternate jokes, and and it just a that's always great. We actually improvised the entire movie. He told us the premise and he just goes, "I'll follow you around." The whole movie's improvised. Even like car crashes and stuff, all improvised. Second guest: Yeah, that was shot on my cell phone camera. I randomly caught him and Jesse getting hit by a car.

Young Hollywood

But thank you so much, thank you so much for speaking with us. You really didn't need to slaughter all those pigglets. That was not That was not well received.
