Do you do online dating?

No, I, I broke up recently in October, so I've done the Tinder thing. I thought I'd join it. Everyone was telling me to join it. I lost, it was horrific. It was like the thought of someone seeing that. I was on there and saying, oh you are on Tinder. I saw you. That's what, that's exactly what keeps me off of it. Someone I know seeing it. Seeing like, oh. Just the deep waves of shame.

Yeah, it's horrible. Washing over me. And the thought of being waking up not knowing how many times you were swiped right. I like I want to know. I want to know.

I'm in the Young Hollywood studio, joined by this talented chat, Clark Duke. How are you?

Very well.

We're just talking about online dating.

Yeah, or the lack thereof.

Or the lack thereof that we both find it really, really horrible.

Romance is dead.

Yeah, it's over. Gone. It's been gone for years now.

It's gone. I think romance started in like 2006.

Yeah, maybe even maybe before that. That was it. Anyway. Hot Tub Time Machine 2. This is what's exciting, it's back.

That's very exciting.

I love the first one. This is exciting. Yeah, this is really good stuff. It's got like a cult following, isn't it?

It is a comedy. Following, yeah. Um, it was financed by a cult.

This is good. Cuz they got lots of money.

We steal the money from our followers. It's a smart move.

Yeah. You guys, if you've got lots of fans and that, why not? Cut the middle man out. Take a dollar from every one of them.

I think we just described Kickstarter.

We did. Yeah. Oh if only we had this interview three years ago. But going back to Hot Tub Time Machine 2, um, so you're back with the guys, that was a bit must be nice being reunited.

Welcome back, yeah. Four years ago, the laws of space and time were violated. It must be some kind of hot tub time machine. And our world was changed forever. Was it morally wrong to exploit our knowledge of the future for personal financial gain? Whoa. I'm the father of the internet. Oh. Ever since I wrote "Call Me Maybe" back in '92, I've been on a roll. I think it's refreshing for a sequel because we don't really repeat any beats from the first movie. Okay. Like there's not a lot of like, remember this, we're doing it again but in a now we're in, you know, Hong Kong or whatever. Like, it's a completely different movie with just like the same idiots. Which is great cuz then when you spend your money, you're happy with it. You just spend it. That's the goal, yeah. I want everyone to leave happy.

Um, now, if you were in a hot tub time machine,

Oh god. Oh.

And you could go back in time and have a date with any woman,

Right.

Who would it be? This is um. Good question, I know. This is a great question.

No. I, I'm having to really put some thought into this. This is something that Adam Scott said the other day and it made me laugh so hard that I'm going to repeat it because I thought it was so good. It was like if you could meet any person in history, who would you meet? And he said, what was the woman that um, that Eric Clapton and George Harrison fought over? He said, she must have really had something going on.

Yeah. She must have had something to get those two guys.

I think she had three boobies.

She had three boobies. Hot Tub Time Machine 3? Is there going to be a third one? Do we know this yet?

I mean the the true answer is, if this one makes money, yeah. Pretty confident in it. Pretty confident.

If you could, if you could write that one, not that you're going to kill, get rid of Josh, but if you, if you could, if you could kill him and he wasn't there and you wrote the movie.

Actually, I don't even want to say it because he actually has already pitched the third one and we all think it's really funny so I don't even want to give it away.

Oh. Cuz I actually really like it. Oh god. Yeah, you can't tell us that. No. No, that would be really bad for us. Tell us. Tell us. Tell us. She wants to know. Look. She wants to know. I'm so bored. She wants to know. She looks right at me and yawns.

No, it's addicting. It's addicting.

What's your go-to karaoke song?

Head Over Heels, Tears for Fears. It's a good one. Young Americans by David Bowie. Raspberry Beret by Prince.

Like, see this just shows you really are a big fan of karaoke. This is great.

I got these just in the chamber. Literally. Anything by The Killers. That's a good karaoke one always. Cuz you do it with a buddy. Makes it more fun when it's your friend. Sweet Home by Mötley Crüe.

Okay. And this is this is a hard question. Is there a moment that just says, yes, like you're your favorite moment. Can you even nail down one moment? Like one moment?

I can, you can name a few.

I mean, do do what you've done with the karaoke. Just keep naming them.

Mhm. I mean, getting to work with Chevy Chase. That's up there for me. That's pretty up there. Chevy's my like boyhood comedy hero. I was so just like in awe and like, all my scenes were with him so for like a week straight, he and I would just go to dinner every night.

Was that nervous going into that? Or you were just

I told him when I met him, I was like, you're my hero. I just wanted to tell you that so I don't like throw up or anything while we're shooting and then he proceeded to just like call me names for a few weeks. But in a very loving way. In Chevy's way.

Hot Tub Time Machine 2, watch it. I mean, they're going to watch it.

Please watch it. We haven't even got to sell this movie. It sells itself.

I would consider it a personal favorite. It sells itself. I don't even know why we're doing this interview right now. It's just one of those movies that people will watch.

You think you really think so?

Yes. I really think so.

Man, if this thing could just open at like 35 million, that would.

I'm a very picky movie goer. I am. Like for me to go to the movies nowadays cuz there is so much but the minute I saw the the trailer for it, I was like, I'm there. So I want you to find it. You know, it's not a lot of comedies too. What else are you going to watch? Bad things might happen to you if you don't watch this movie. I'm going to level with you guys. I need this.

He needs this. I've got some gambling debts.

He doesn't online date which makes it more expensive to take girls on dates. Cuz he's got to really

I'm going to do offline dating.

Offline dating cuz he can't afford to log on. It's a facts-based service. It's so slow. It's so unhandy. We've got one coming in right now.
