I want to talk about "Ride with Norman Reedus."
This is season three? -Season three, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. -And this -- See this is why
I love you because I want to hear stories.
It's riding, just motorcycle riding.
-Oh, yeah. -And this is --
Who're you doing? Who are you riding with this season?
-This season, we've got Melissa McBride.
-Oh, yeah. -We did a great ride with her.
A couple people from the show,
and I just left Nashville yesterday.
Marilyn Manson.
-Really? -Yeah.
-What is he -- He seems cool.
-He's super cool. He's probably going to kill me
for saying this, but he's the sweetest guy ever.
[ Laughter ]
I mean, like -- he's the nicest guy.
-He's like, "I worked my whole career to be
not the sweetest guy but -- -Yeah, yeah.
-He is. -He's -- I mean --
-He rides? -Kids love him and, like --
Yeah. Well, I had him in a side car.
[ Laughter ]
-No way! -Which was amazing, yeah.
-I just want to see even a picture of that.
That's fantastic. -I'll show you a picture, yeah.
-Yeah. Do you have dream person that you want to ride with?
-I'd love to ride with Cher.
[ Laughter ]
I know it sounds -- it sounds different,
but Cher, I mean, she's such a bad ass.
And I -- I love Cher.
My -- my little sister used to have a Cher doll,
and I had a Jay J. Armes doll, if you know who that is.
-No. -He's a detective
that coincidentally didn't have arms, but he, like --
[ Laughter ]
He -- yeah. -That's his last name?
-Armes, yeah. He actually --
Yeah, he -- Brando hired him once to go find his son.
And he talks about him on the trial but, like,
you can change his hands to hooks and guns and knives.
And his license plate would flip over
and he had, like, jungle cats. -He's a real guy?
-Yeah, a real guy. -Jay J. Armes?
-Yeah, yeah. -I don't know Jay J. Armes.
I mean, I did have a Cher doll, but, I mean, besides that --
-Did you? Oh. Yeah. -I mean, my sister had one,
yeah. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I used to make the Cher doll and the Jay J. Armes
kind of make out and stuff. [ Laughter ]
-Does Cher -- Does Cher ride? -She does, yeah.
She rides, yeah. -She is unbelievable.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Of course Cher rides
a motorcycle. -That's my dream. Yeah.
-That would be the coolest thing ever.
Cher, if you're watching, ride with Norman Reedus.
Yeah, I mean, please.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I still -- I've got to get the nerve up.
I still am -- -Yeah, you're next.
-I really want to ride with you. -You're next, yeah.
-I got to learn how to do it, though, because I'm --
but I really -- I love it. I have respect.
-It's piece of cake. It's a piece of cake.
You'll be great. -No, I don't know, man.
I get nervous. I can barely walk.
[ Laughter ]
I see people on motorcycles,
and I'm like, "Respect!"
[ Laughter ] -Nah, it's great. It's great.
-I'm like, "Raindrop!"
[ Laughter ] -Droptop!
-Oh, yeah. Yeah. Too late.
Okay. [ Laughter ]
But is that why on "Walking Dead"
that you ride a motorcycle,
is because you ride it in real life?
-Well, originally, they had me riding a horse.
And I'm terrified of horses.
Like, I -- I -- really scared of horses, yeah.
-Afraid of -- why? Bad experience?
-Because they have big eyes and someone said
they could smell your fear and all this stuff.
-They can smell your fear? Wow.
-Yeah, yeah. So they freak me out.
-Have you ever worked with a horse?
-Yeah. I once did a movie with --
that Robert Redford directed called "The Conspirator,"
and I was supposed to come in and scream at a bunch of people
on a horse and I -- but the horse was trained to,
you know, trot backwards
and get in single file with the other horses.
So I'd come in screaming, and all of a sudden,
in the middle of my -- my angry monologue,
the horse would trot backwards.
And I could hear Redford like, "Someone handle Norman's horse!"
And I was like, "I'm going to get fired
from this job, like --"
But, yeah. -It was a bad horse. Yeah.
-Yeah, it was awful. -Did you ever --
This is a true story. I heard this.
Do you ever gamble or play a "Walking Dead" slot machine
and win money off yourself? -No, I did, yeah.
[ Laughter ] -I think that's the best story.
-Yeah. -It did happen?
-I went there for the -- to Vegas for the CES festival --
or a convention. -Yeah.
-And I see this giant slot machine,
"The Walking Dead" slot machine, and I'm like,
"There is no one in this little section."
So I put in a dollar. I hit the button.
I start recording it.
And it lands Daryl Dixon, Daryl Dixon, Daryl Dixon,
Daryl Dixon, Daryl Dixon,
and just kept going and going and going.
Yeah. -How much?
-Like, a little over, like, $850, you know.
Yeah. -Dude, that's fantastic!
[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah, yeah.
I thought I was being Punk'd or something.
It was like, yeah. -You're just looking at
your face coming up.
Did you even know those things existed?
-I mean, I've seen them before,
but I'd really never played one.
But I'm sitting here looking at my phone,
like, recording it, and I'm like, "What?"
You know, it's like -- Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
-Oh, my gosh. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Have you ever seen, like, merch or anything
that your face has been on where you're like,
"I can't believe they made that."
-A bunch of stuff. Yeah.
I brought you a little something.
Um -- Hold on one sec.
-Thank you. -Yeah, that.
[ Laughter ]
-Is this your room key?
[ Laughter ]
Wait. This isn't -- Is this an air freshener?
-It's an air freshener, yeah.
[ Laughter ]
But look how filthy I am.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah. -Can you see that?
-And I'm so dirty right here,
I thought I would smell like gasoline or something but --
-No, it smells like vanilla.
-Like vanilla, yeah. -Yeah.
And that's not how you smell in real life.
I mean, you smell good, but it's not vanilla.
-I know, I know.
-Maybe you did smell a little bit like vanilla
when you walked in. And that's probably why.
-That's probably why, yeah. -Yeah, you carried it
in your pocket, yeah. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. I put one of those in Andy Lincoln's car
just as like a, you know, a "ha-ha" to ya.
-Oh, did you really? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-You mess with him? -All the time.
But, I mean, you know, he's -- he's --
the thing about Andy, he's got --
he's got no coordination whatsoever.
-Andy Lincoln has no coordination?
-Zero. But he -- like, I was talking to him,
and Jeffrey Dean Morgan calls me, right, and he goes,
he goes, "Oh, man, tonight is going to suck."
And I'm like, "Why?" And he goes, "Because
I have a big fight scene with Andy,
and he's going to punch me in the face.
He's going to drink a lot coffee, he's going to
get super excited, he's going to punch me in the face."
[ Laughter ] -Wait, for real, though?
-For real, right? -But it's acting.
-It's supposed to be acting. -Yeah.
-But he has no coordination, right?
But, he goes -- -Well, that's not cool.
I don't care if you're not coordinated.
He hits people? -Oh, yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-Does he know that? -Well, the thing is,
he does it, and then he, like,
completely denies that he did it.
But, Jeff's on the phone, he going,
"Man, he's going to punch me in the nose."
And then my other line rings and it's Andy going,
"Okay, so tonight I'm getting ready,
I'm going to do this, I'm going to add a karate kick
and I'm going to chop him and throw it and do all this stuff."
[ Laughter ] And I was like, "Where are you?"
And he goes, "I'm driving to set."
I'm like, "Dude, it's 4:00 in the afternoon.
It's a night scene. We don't have to be there until 8:00."
He's like, "I'm going to get there early."
And he's drinking coffee. Right? [ Laughter ]
-"I'm going to have three coffees and eight Red Bulls."
-Yeah. -"And then I'm going to --
really fake hit him." -Yeah. And then --
And so I go, "Can you hold on one second?"
Click, click. I'm like, "Dude, you're so screwed.
He's going to punch you in the face."
And then -- and then, yeah.
And then I get, you know, a text in the middle of the night,
and it's Jeff with a Band-Aid on his nose with an ice pack.
Right? -No.
-Yeah, he punched him in the nose.
Like, fractured his nose. -Has he ever hit you?
-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. [ Laughter ]
Yeah. He -- well, we did this one scene,
and I beat the crap out of him, basically.
And then he's supposed to run and tackle me off-camera, right?
Just jump into an air bag.
But he jumps and he punches me in the face
with double fists. -A double fist punch?!
-Like this -- Boom! Like -- like --
[ Laughter ]
Right? -What?!
-And yeah. And then I look
over at Matt, our camera guy, and I'm like,
"Did you see that?" And he's goes,
"Oh, yeah, I saw that." [ Laughter ]
And then, like, you know, like, an hour later,
I'm kind of going like this, and he's like, "What's wrong?"
And I'm like, "Nothing. Nothing."
-Yeah. -Right?
-You wouldn't even give it up?
-Because he knows he did that.
[ Laughter ] -Norman Reedus, everybody.
