>> Jimmy: FEEL LIKE I'M IN THE
UNTOUCHABLES OR SOMETHING.
>> NO, JUST KEEP TALKING, THAT'S
ALL RIGHT.
YOU GOT THE BIG IRON FIST, I'M
GOING TO BRING SOMETHING OUT.
>> Jimmy: IT WOULD BE SILLY TO
COME OUT UNARMED.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> ACTUALLY, I'M DOING ALL
RIGHT.
THIS IS A GIFT FOR YOU.
>> Jimmy: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> I MADE THIS MYSELF.
I'VE BEEN GETTING INTO
WOODWORKING A LITTLE BIT.
>> Jimmy: WHAT ARE YOU MAKING,
MOSTLY BATS?
OH, LOOK AT THAT, WHAT DOES THAT
SAY ON THERE?
>> CA HEART JK.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S VERY NICE.
HOW ABOUT THAT, THAT'S VERY
BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S LIKE AN OLD-FASHIONED KIND
OF BAT.
>> A LITTLE OLD TIMEY, BUT
YOU'RE KIND OF AN OLD TIMEY GUY.
I WAS CARVING THAT SUCKER AND I
WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU.
>> Jimmy: YOU BROUGHT SOME VIDEO
OF THE ACTUAL PROCESS.
THAT'S YOU IN THE HEADGEAR,
PROTECTIVE.
IS THAT A LATHE?
>> THAT'S HARD WORK, BRO.
LOOK AT THAT.
>> Jimmy: THAT IS HARD WORK.
THAT'S SANDING, WHY ARE YOU
DOING THAT?
YOU'
YOU'RE AN ACTOR.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK.
>> THANK YOU.
GOODNIGHT, EVERYBODY.
I WAS, I'M DOING IT BECAUSE
ACTUALLY, I READ SOMEWHERE THAT
IT MAKES YOU HAPPY IF YOU WORK
WITH YOUR HANDS.
PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH THEIR HANDS
ARE ACTUALLY HAPPIER.
IT STIMULATES A PART OF YOUR
BRAIN THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, AND
I ALSO LIKE DOING IT.
>> Jimmy: WELL, IT MUST MAKE YOU
HAPPY, I GUESS.
>> THAT ONE DIDN'T MAKE ME
HAPPY.
>> Jimmy: HAVE YOU TRIED ONE OF
THESE?
HAVE YOU GONE IN A GAME WITH ONE
OF THESE HOMEMADE BATS?
>> I'VE MADE SEVERAL AND I DID
TRY TO HIT WITH ONE.
I DIDN'T HAVE GOOD RESULTS, BUT
I CAN'T BLAME IT ON THE BAT.
BATTER'S GOT TO TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY.
>> Jimmy: WHAT IS THE KEY TO
MAKING A GOOD BASEBALL BAT?
>> IT'S NOT THAT HARD.
THERE'S A MILLION GUYS IN THE
CARPENTER'S UNION WHO COULD MAKE
A BETTER BAT, YOU PUT IT IN THE
LATHE AND SHAPE IT LIKE YOU
THINK THIS SHOULD BE.
>> Jimmy: DO THEY DO IT LIKE BY
HAND IN LOUISVILLE SLUG SNER.
>> THEY HAVE A MACHINE, AND THEY
CAN MAKE IT FOR GUYS WHO KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT.
THIS TOOK ME ABOUT FOUR HOURS.
>> Jimmy: IS THIS BECAUSE YOUR
BROTHER WAS BATMAN, AND YOU'RE
LIKE, NOW I'M BATMAN.
>> THERE'S A LITTLE FUZZ.
>> Jimmy: HOW'S YOUR BASEBALL
TEAM GOING?
I KNOW YOU PLAY ON AN ADULT
LEAGUE.
>> WE'RE DOING WELL.
>> Jimmy: WHAT'S THE NAME OF
YOUR SNEAK.
>> WE'RE CALLED THE LOVE.
>> Jimmy: THE LOVE.
I KNOW YOU HAVE A MINIMUM OF
NINE, BUT HOW MANY ARE --
>> WE'VE GOT ABOUT 15 GUYS, AND
THEY'RE GREAT.
THEY'RE ALL VERY GOOD.
I'M GETTING CLOSE TO BEING ONE
OF THE OLDEST GUYS NOW.
>> Jimmy: OH, ARE YOU REALLY?
THAT'S NO GOOD, IS IT?
>> WHAT WAS THAT?
>> Jimmy: I DON'T KNOW,
SOMEBODY'S MESSING AROUND IN THE
BAND.
PROBABLY DOING WOODWORKING.
WHAT'S THE AGE RANGE ON THE
GUYS?
>> WE'VE GOT GUYS WHO ARE IN
THEIR EARLY 20s, MAYBE 18 UP TO
40, UP TO 50.
JON HAMM PLAYS ON MY TEAM, I
THINK HE'S MID-50s.
>> Jimmy: HE'LL APPRECIATE YOU
SAYING THAT.
WHAT POSITION DOES HAMM PLAY?
>> HAMM DOESN'T SHOW UP THAT
MUCH.
>> Jimmy: HE DOESN'T SHOW UP.
>> NO, HAMM'S BUSY.
>> Jimmy: WHAT POSITION DO YOU
PLAY ON THE TEAM?
>> I USED TO PLAY THIRD BASE,
BUT IT'S GETTING HARDER.
LET SOME OF THE YOUNGER GUYS GET
IN THERE.
I LIKE TO PLAY RIGHT FIELD.
>> Jimmy: RIGHT FIELD.
DO YOUR KIDS PLAY BASEBALL?
>> MY KIDS PLAY BASEBALL.
THEY ALSO PLAY FOOTBALL.
I COACH THEM, WHICH IS REALLY
FUN.
>> Jimmy: OH, YOU DO.
>> IT'S THE ONLY TIME THEY'LL
LISTEN TO ME.
>> Jimmy: DO THEY LISTEN TO YOU?
I COACHED MY SON'S BASKETBALL
TEAM.
NOT ONLY DID HE NOT LISTEN TO
ME, NONE OF THE KIDS LISTENED TO
ME.
>> WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOU?
>> Jimmy: NOT A GOOD COACH?
>> WERE YOU NERVOUS WHEN YOU
WERE COACHING?
>> Jimmy: NO, YOU KNOW THE BIG
MISTAKE I MADE HONESTLY?
I JOKED AROUND WITH THEM THE
FIRST DAY, AND I WAS FOOLING
AROUND AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH,
LOOK, HE'S [ BLEEP ].
>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE HIM
SERIOUSLY.
HE'S A PEER.
HE'S ONE OF HUSUS.
I DON'T FOOL AROUND WITH THOSE
KIDS.
BUT I LET THEM KNOW WHO'S BOSS.
WE PLAYED FOR SEVEN YEARS IN
THIS FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE, AND
WE NEVER WON.
AND I THOUGHT THIS LAST SEASON I
WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU CAN
PICK YOUR TEAM, I SAID LET'S
PICK A WINNING TEAM.
WE'LL BE THE PATRIOTS, KNOW WHAT
I MEAN?
THAT WILL HELP US GET THERE.
I ASKED MY SON IF THAT WAS OKAY,
AND HE SAID NO, I WANT TO BE THE
BROWNS.
I WAS LIKE, LISTEN, THE BROWNS
HAVE STRUGGLE THE.
BUT HE PUT HIS FOOT DOWN.
HIS FAVORITE PLAYER WAS ODELL.
SO WE SAID OKAY, WE'LL BE THE
BROWNS.
AND UNDEFEATED IN THE REGULAR
SEASON.
>> Jimmy: OH, REALLY?
>> AND WE WON THE SUPER BOWL.
YEAH, IT WAS GREAT.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SO I WAS PRETTY PROUD OF THAT.
I FIND AN E-MAIL FOR THE PR GUY
FOR THE REAL CLEVELAND BROWN, I
THOUGHT THEY'D FEEL INSPIRED BY
OUR VICTORY.
I WROTE THEM AN E-MAIL, AND I
WAS LIKE, HEY, LISTEN.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THESE KIDS
OUT HERE, WE DID ONE FOR YOU,
WE'D ALWAYS SAY "FOR CLEVELAND."
THIS IS A PICTURE OF US, THE
TEAM AND THE TROPHIES.
AND IT WAS LIKE FOUR WEEKS LATER
I GET A RESPONSE AND IT SAYS
GREAT JOB.
IF YOU'RE EVER IN CLEVELAND,
COME SEE A GAME.
I WAS SORT OF EXPECTING LIKE THE
JET MIGHT BE SENT.
KIDS WOULD BE LIKE BROUGHT ONTO
THE FIELD.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, SURE.
?
C
>> COME SEE A GAME.
THANKS, GUYS.
>> Jimmy: THEY ARE THE BROWNS,
HOW EXCITING DO YOU EXPECT THEM
TO BE?
THEY'RE NAMED AFTER THE WORST
COLOR.
>> I DON'T FEEL THAT WAY, BUT I
THINK THEY'RE GOING TO WIN ONE
PRETTY SOON.
>>> YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE
YOU?
>> TO THE SUN AND BACK.
>> TO THE SUN AND BACK 30,000
TIMES, AND IT'S NOT EVEN OUR
SUN.
IT'S A SUN ON A DISTANT GALAXY.
WE'RE TAKING A VERY, VERY SLOW
SPACESHIP.
IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME.
THERE'S A LOT OF HEADWIND.
IT'S QUITE A TRIP.
HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME?
>> LIKE TO THE TOP OF A TREE.
>> WHAT?
>> Jimmy: THAT'S CASEY AFFLECK
IN "LIGHT OF MY LIFE".
A MOVIE HE WROTE, STARRED IN AND
DIRECTED.
YOU DID ALL OF THOSE THINGS?
>> YES, I'M THE ONLY PERSON TO
BLAME.
>> Jimmy: YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON
WHO EVER DID THAT.
AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
SOMETHING.
THAT YOUNG LADY WHO PLAYS YOUR
DAUGHTER.
>> FANTASTIC.
>> Jimmy: WHERE DID YOU FIND
HER?
>> CANADA.
>> Jimmy: REALLY?
>> YEAH.
YEAH.
YEAH, WE LOOKED ALL OVER.
OUR CASTING DIRECTOR JUST LOOKED
AND LOOKED AND LOOKED.
AND SHE'S AMAZING.
SHE'S REALLY SUPER TALENTED,
INCREDIBLY PROFESSIONAL.
SHE'LL BE ON THE SHOW SOMETIME.
>> Jimmy: IT'S A LONG SHOT WITH
NO EDITS.
HOW LONG IS THAT?
>> 12 MINUTES.
>> Jimmy: YOU'RE TELLING HER THE
STORY.
WHEN I SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
I THINK, OH, I HOPE THEY DIDN'T
SCREW IT UP AND DO IT A WHOLE
BUC
BUNCH OF TIMES.
AND HOW LONG DID IT TAKE?
>> WE SHOT THAT SCENE IN EIGHT
HOURS.
I WAS ALWAYS THE ONE WHO WOULD
MESS IT UP.
THIS LOOK WOULD COME OVER HER
FACE, AND I WOULD BE I JUST
[ BLEEP ]ED IT UP, DIDN'T I?
AND WE'D DO IT AGAIN.
SHE'S AMAZING.
>> Jimmy: THAT STORY YOU TOLD,
IS THAT A STORY LIKE YOU'D HEARD
IN YOUR CHILDHOOD?
>> NO ONE TOLD MY STORIES.
DID ANYBODY TELL YOU BEDTIME
STORIES?
>> Jimmy: YES, MY MOM, SHE DID.
>> I HAD A GOOD MOM, TOO, BUT
SHE NEVER TOLD MOW BE BEDTIME
STORIES.
SHE WOULD SAY I CRIED A LOT, AND
THEY WOULD TURN THE VACUUM
CLEANER ON IN MY ROOM.
SO I DON'T KNOW.
>> Jimmy: THAT IS, WHAT?
LIKE THE FIRST SOUND MACHINE.
>> LIKE SHUT UP.
WHAT'S LOUDER THAN THIS DAMN
KID?
TURN ON THE VACUUM CLEANER IN
HIS BEDROOM SO WE CAN GET ON
WITH OUR NIGHT.
>> Jimmy: WOW.
THAT'S VERY SAD.
>> SO I MADE THIS STORY UP ON MY
OWN.
IT WAS A STORY I ACTUALLY TOLD
ONE OF MY KIDS, AND I WENT,
THAT'S NOT BAD, AND I WROTE IT
DOWN.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU REALLY.
DID YOUR SON RECOGNIZE THAT
STORY?
>> THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE.
>> Jimmy: OH, THEY HAVEN'T?
>> THEY HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING I
THINK I'VE DONE.
NO INTEREST.
>> Jimmy: REALLY?
>> NOT MUCH AT ALL.
I PUT THEM IN FRONT OF THE MOST
EXCITING PART OF THE MOVIE, AND
THEY GOT BORED IN LIKE THREE
MINUTES AND GOT UP AND LEFT.
YEAH.
>> Jimmy: WHEN YOU'RE DOING ALL
OF THOSE JOBS, DIRECTING,
WRITING, ACTING IN THE MOVIE,
WHICH IS THE TRICKIEST?
WHICH IS THE MOST
TIME-CONSUMING?
>> THE ACTING, BECAUSE THAT'S
REALLY THE ONE --
>> Jimmy: REALLY?
>> PEOPLE LIKE TO IMAGINE IT'S
JUST ONE PERSON, BUT THERE ARE
ALL THESE PEOPLE DOING THEIR JOB
MAKING YOU LOOK GOOD.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GOOD JOB.
THERE'S NOT A TON OF LIKE, STUFF
THAT YOU'RE DOING, KNOW WHAT I
MEAN?
SO THE ACTING WAS THE THING ON
SET TAKING THE MOST TIME.
>> Jimmy: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED
FROM YOUR BROTHER AS FAR AS
BEING A DIRECTOR GOES?
IS THERE A LESSON, SOMETHING
THAT YOU OBSERVED HIM DOING AND
YOU DECIDED TO DO THAT YOURSELF?
>> UM, I'M SURE THAT THERE IS.
>> Jimmy: I LOVE TO ASK THIS
QUESTION, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU
GUYS BUST EACH OTHER'S BALLS SO
FREQUENTLY AND INTENSELY.
>> I DON'T BUST HIS BALLS TOO
MUCH ANYMORE, BECAUSE HIS
CAREER'S TAKEN A NOSEDIVE, AND
I'VE GOT TO BUILD HIM BACK UP.
IT'S NO FUN WHEN A GUY'S DOWN
HERE TO KICK HIM.
YOU GOT TO BUILD HIM UP.
>> Jimmy: ALL RIGHT.
>> THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS
I'VE LEARNED.
VERY SMART GUY, GOOD DIRECTOR.
>> Jimmy: CONGRATULATIONS ON THE
MOVIE.
IT'S REALLY GOOD.
TELL US THE PREMISE.
>> IT'S ABOUT A FATHER AND
DAUGHTER WHO LIVE IN A VERY
DANGEROUS, POST PAPOCALYPTIC
WORLD.
>> Jimmy: ARE THERE ANY FEMALES?
>> THERE ARE.
IT'S A LITTLE MORE DANGEROUS
THAN YOU THINK, BUT NOT QUITE AS
MUCH AS THE DAD THINKS, THEY'RE
TRYING TO HAVE A NORMAL FAMILY,
AND HE'S TRYING TO RAISE HER IN
A DANGEROUS WORLD, LIKE HAVING
KIDS IN HOLLYWOOD.
>> Jimmy: CASEY AFFLECK!
