Blank Jack with Griffin and David

Don't know what to say or to expect

All you need to know is that the name of the show is Blank Jack

Look, but, bearing a preference, we're going to put you on a movie podcast. Blank Check. I say this because they tell me you know the poetry of the street. So that would rule out Westerns, pirate podcast, screwball, Bible, room. Look, I'm not one of these guys who thinks poetic has got to be fruity. We're together on that, don't we? I mean, I'm from New York myself. Well, Minsk, if you want to go all the way back, which we won't. But if you don't mind, I ain't asking, now, these people are going to say to you, blank check movies. It's a B podcast. You tell them bullshit. We do not make B podcasts here at Blank Check Productions. Let's put stop to that rumor right now. I, you didn't hit it, which is fine because you're, you're reading the long chunk here. But the way he says, I mean, I'm from New York myself. Well, Minsk, if you want to go all the way back, which we won't, if you don't mind. And I ain't asking. Oh, he's suddenly like, you know, he's in's in his own track and he's like but i don't want to talk about that even though i just brought it up that to me

is the epitome of beautiful monologuing right where it's like now this guy is in a tunnel like

he's no longer even thinking about the guy it is a thing that i I feel like the Cohen brothers is where you feel the

strongest influence, even in their dramas of like, like, um, Preston Sturgis and like Lou Bitch and Wilder

kind of stuff where you're like these brief moments where a character starts to hint at a whole

deeper life and within themselves. It is a screwball comedy going on in life, basically. Yeah. Yes. It's what I like about the city is that it makes me feel unimportant in a way that I think is valuable. Oh, by the way, have you guys seen the clock that Christian Barclay? Yes. I mean, not at a moment. Not all 24 hours of it, but I popped in.

Some fairweather friend you are. Well, they closed the museum. Yeah. And I've always wondered, like, how do you see the nighttime clock? They will occasionally schedule a 24-hour session. Fucking amazing to think about. Or you've got to go Ben Stiller mode. Oh? Work a night at the museum. Except it's a night at MoMA, so it's like... And the movies come alive.

Some abstract artists like going around.

Yeah, exactly.

I got to say, I went with my wife Mercedes there yesterday and it was a redemptive, it was a redeeming experience.

Really?

It was really amazing.

And I recommend...

I think it's going on May 21st.

It's leaving MoMA, but you're around. You get a chance. It's leaving MoMA. Well, I mean... This episode's coming out in whatever. Oh, it's gone. But your message is being received by the three of us. It'll... I mean, I've gone to this iteration of MoMA, but it'll return.

Like, it travels around the world, right?

Like, that's sort of the thing with it.

Well, look, David, you say that. And yet the last thing we were talking about just before we started recording. Regrets, I've had a few. Is that you were offered a chance to moderate a Q&A with the Cohen Brothers when they were promoting Buster Scrugs and you were like, ugh, what a schlep. And now here we are. And you're like, as of this moment, still their final film together. We keep here and they're going to get back together, but you just... Wait, where was the Schlep, too? Unknown Schlep. So the Schlep would have been uptown, like to the uprois side. That's not why I turned it down really.
