   Joseph Nebus to All   
   7 September 2007 - Jeff Garlin, Max has    
   09 Sep 07 01:06:06   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Jeff Garlin:   
   	- He's thrilled to shake Abe Vigoda's hand.  Fans from Chicago   
   must be Cubs fans.   
   	   
   	- The New York Post mentioned what hotel he was in, so he had to   
   change hotels.  At the new he was readying for an interview and saw two   
   people jogging at 5:30 am, which they found unremarkable.  He would have   
   bragged and mad a fuss.   
   	   
   	- He was directed to a restaurant and promised great bread.  The   
   great bread turned out to be pizza.   
   	   
   	- When he and Conan were roommates, Garlin wouldn't answer the   
   phone normally.  He answers theatrically.  Used to drive his dad crazy.   
   They'd let his dad go for letting his son answer that way.   
   	   
   	- 'Letting you go' is a great way to be fired as the term is so   
   gentle.   
   	   
   	- When 'Aladdin' was in Burger King cups, they were looking for   
   the Genie cup.  They went to the drive-through and he asked what cups   
   they had, and drove off when it was the Princess.  They went back a few   
   days later and he used a deeper voice to ask.  He was afraid of being   
   recognized.  He went back three or four times.   
   	   
   	- For his movie he had to finance it himself.  He couldn't get   
   just a million dollars; studios don't think of budgets that low.  One   
   guy was a bald guy from Spain with dandruff eyebrows, which freaked him   
   out.  He pulled out a week before.  'I will not be giving you my money,   
   my eyebrows with my eyelashes, it's like a winter wonderland of   
   dandruff!'  So you keep going, asking people.   
   	   
   	- One guy came to the meeting with two hookers, who were   
   better-informed on the movie and financing than he was.  After the   
   meeting the hookers asked him for dinner.  He *thinks* he doesn't like   
   hookers, but hasn't been with them so doesn't actually know.  He doesn't   
   get hooker stories.   
   	   
   	- He wanted to get home; the guy then said, 'He doesn't need   
   dinner, take a look at him!'  Garlin asked why he was here ...   
   	   
   	- Larry David hates the title 'Someone To Eat Cheese With' as it   
   ends in a preposition.   
      
      
   Max is having a beer:   
   	- He's still at work!  This isn't work.   
   	   
   	- He shares one with Conan.  To the weekend.   
   	   
   	- And by the side?  That's a prostitute.  Conan's protest must   
   mean he wants the prostitute to stand next to him during the show.   
   	   
   	- Conan considers if he's too uptight.  Max has his hat on.   
   He's leaving, as he can't work for a guy who drinks at work and cheats   
   on his wife.   
   	   
   	- Max did that to make Conan look foolish and get out of work   
   early.
