Tia Carrere: I Had to Learn How to Play the Bass For Wayne's World

Fellas, you know Degree Cool Rush deodorant, right? Well, last year they changed the formula, and guys were mad about it. One dude even started a petition.

So guess what? Degree heard us, admitted they messed up, and brought the original Cool Rush scent back, exactly how it was. And it's in Walmart, Target, and other stores now for under $4.

So grab some and remember why its cool, crisp, and fresh scent made it the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. Degree Cool Rush is back, and it smells like victory for all of us. You have got what appears to be a dynamite sound. This is the Rich Eisen Show. Awesome. Here comes Hallibur.

He lays it in with one and three tenths seconds to go. Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Aljelie Brown, history is good.

The floodgates have opened and the magic are drowning. Today's guest, Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman, actor Tia Carrere, Bucks General Manager Jason Light, Bucks Sports College Football Analyst Bruce Feldman. And now it's Rich Eisen.

That's right, everybody. Welcome to our number two of the Rich Eisen Show on the air. Just had a nice chat with Tia Carrere in our green room. We're going to go down a pop culture wormhole with one of the stars of the upcoming edition of Lilo and Stitch, which is going to be in theaters nationwide next month. So she's back in Lilo and Stitch 20 some odd years later.

Let's go. So there's lots to talk about with Tia, who was in Wayne's World back in the day and General Hospital back in the day. True Lies. True Lies was also, I believe, Larry David's bathroom monitor.

Uh-oh. In a great episode of Cur. So we got a great celebrity tour of falls coming up there.

Jason Light, the GM of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will be joining us. Bruce Feldman in studio on number three. But the man of the hour, many times I get asked all the time, how do you do it, Rich? I get that asked all the time. How do you do it?

Do what? I don't know what it is. Hey, hey, Chris.

I don't know what it is. It's just this. But a man who definitely gets asked that question more than I do is the General Manager of the defending Super Bowl champion, Philadelphia Eagles, and also an alum of the freshly minted national champion men's basketball winners, the Florida Gators. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Howie Rosen.

We're all paying rent. How are you, Howie? What's going on, guys? How are we doing? That's a long bio on Tia.

I can't wait to hear from her. Jason Light, one of my close friends in the NFL, set him up with his wife. Oh, wow. He set him up with his wife. Yeah.

You got to talk to him about that. You know, we were evaluating talent from the same talent pool like we do in the NFL. And you got a great list. And then you got me, you know, Bruce Feldman. Wow. Hey, listen, when you generally manage, you generally manage basically is what you're saying. So you you manage the Light's relationship. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, you got it. You got to be in a position where you're constantly evaluating, Rich.

You're evaluating everything in life. You know, that's how we roll. How do you do it, Howie Roseman? And it's first of all, it's good to see you don't have like that porzingis welt on your head anymore. You're you're you kind of got rid of that from from the Super Bowl parade. We're showing that right now. My goodness gracious. That was real.

That was real. I think I was in the concussion protocol for a couple of days right there, but well worth it. And I think unfortunately, my broken my broken forehead is now the picture most represented of myself.

So is that right? It took a couple of weeks to get that off. I still have a little bit of scar, but I'll keep it reminds me. It reminds me of a great moment in Philadelphia. But hopefully we do this again.

And, you know, we stay in the middle of the road on those buses. Oh, my gosh. All right. Let's jump into this draft, Howie. And it's it's kind of gotten almost old hat with you where all of us on the draft set are saying, how did Howie Roseman wind up with this guy again? And Jihad Campbell is that guy for you. You moved up only one spot for him. But walk me through your identifying Jihad Campbell pre draft and then what you were doing the night of the draft to get him. Howie.

Sure. You know, John Campbell, it doesn't take long to watch his tape and see him jump off the explosive player. He can blitz from depth. He can play in space, cover in backs, tight ends, zone coverage.

He came to Alabama as an edge rusher from IMG. So he's got that in his body to to be able to play on the edge. And so the player players really easy, you know, and I think for us all along through the process, this was a top 10 player on our board. I think it's no secret by now some of the questions are more medical in nature for the reason that he fell to the spot kind of where we were.

We rely on our doctors and we had a lot of conversation on Jihad. And we think that over the real, the near short term and the long term, that he's going to be ready to go and play a lot of great football for us. So really excited to get him.

And there's always reasons to why guys are available. But he is a heck of a player. South Jersey kid, which is special. He just has the right mentality, right skill set for what we were looking for. So just felt really fortunate that we were able to trade up and grab him. Well, is it true that when the Chargers took their 22nd overall pick down to the last second that you were on the phone with your counterpart out here in Southern California to try to make a trade at 22 for this kid? Howie, you have a lot of conversations during the draft with a lot of teams and there's a lot of action when teams are on the clock, you're moving up. And so we had a lot of conversations with a lot of teams that were in front of us finally able to execute a trade with the Chiefs and Brett Beach. And hopefully, you know, it works out for both sides. Well, I mean, so I appreciate that answer.

Thank you. So again, a healthy amount of paranoia doesn't hurt in this league. Does any part of you get a little concerned in a draft knowing that people know what type of player you like and you might not get the guy that you want because someone's going to jump the line knowing that you're going to take him?

Howie, does that happen? It's so easy to get humbled in the National Football League. And I think that at the end of the day, the draft is an inexact science. And so you just got to go in regards to what you think. It's hard to know what everyone else is thinking. You know, this just made sense for our football team. What everyone else is thinking is we're doing what's best for their team and have a lot of respect for what everyone else's thoughts are on the players they draft and, you know, the players they pass over.

But, you know, there's there's no paranoia in that regard. I think at the end of the day, just felt like for us, for our team, this was the right player. And was Jeffrey Lurie impressed by the mic stealing ability of Jahad Campbell on the stage from our Jamie Urdahl? Because, you know, your owner likes to take the mic when he when he takes the trophy too. Howie, that was impressive. You know, I got to get I got to get a clip of that.

I'm not thinking about that. I didn't know that he does that. But man, Jahad really stealing the show. He's got a lot of football in him. But I think one day he's going to be one of these guys that is taking the mic, you know, and I don't know where you and I will be at that point, but hopefully way, way down the line.

Exactly. What do you like about Mokuba out of Texas to take him 64th overall? Howie, what do you think of him? Explosive player.

You know, anytime you start a sentence with explosive, it's probably going to be a really good description of the player. He was at Clemson for three years. He was all ACC for his three years at Clemson. Was actually the ACC defensive player of the year as a freshman, freshman player of the year.

And then he transferred to Texas. He had played a lot of nickel at Clemson. So he had this coverage ability, which we're always looking for in our back end players to be able to come down, cover the slot, to have that versatility, to not only be able to play in the middle of the field, but to come down and cover slot receivers gives a Vic a lot of flexibility. And so he had that cover ability. He just plays like his hair is on fire.

You know, everything about him is fast and physical and he's got ball skills too. So for us a great character, it was just a really good fit for what we were looking for in the back end. Obviously we've lost some players here in Philadelphia since the Superbowl. And we weren't trying to draft for need, but when need hits the value of the player, the beautiful thing.

Well, you definitely lost a defensive tackle in free agency, and now you've got Ty Robinson out of Nebraska. And this clearly, you know, follows your philosophy of hitting the line. I mean, we've had Joe Banner on here multiple times and he's, you know, obviously sings your praises, Howie. So this is one of those, another one of those moments where you're just following the same plan over and over again, Howie? And again, you know, the value has to be right.

We don't want to reach for us. We didn't get to the offensive line until later in the draft because the value where we're picking has to hit it right. And Ty Robinson stuck out on our board. He was the highest rated player on our board. The guy can work edges. He's really strong with his hands.

A great character. This guy was a captain in Nebraska, Matt Rule, former Temple coach, Philadelphia guy. You talk to him about Ty Robinson and he tells you all the things that we're trying to represent here. So I was really excited and him in our center, Cam Jergens, who just signed an extension. They had battles when Ty was a freshman.

So, you know, we got firsthand those one-on-one battles. Really excited to bring Ty to Philly. And like you said, you know, we lost the defensive tackle in free agency, a really good player who's in the AFC now.

And we just want to keep your stock in those lines. Feel like we have some players here who played for us last year who will get a little bit more run a show, but to continue to have those guys coming in waves is really important for our football team. Well, lots of discussions, Howie Roseman, about taking a quarterback late in a draft and why, you know, what you're looking for out of a quarterback late in the draft. And obviously that's through the prism of Shadore Sanders. What do you like about Kyle McCord?

Howie? Processing. Really quick, really quick processor. The ball's coming out really quickly with anticipation and accuracy, you know, leading passer in the NCAA. You just go down his games this year and it's like 340, 380, 390.

I mean, it's unbelievable. He's throwing the ball all over the field. We know him really well. St. Joe's prep graduate, three times state champion in high school.

Number one recruit and five star recruit in the country. Goes to Ohio State. I think he had two career losses at Ohio State, you know, as a starter and then goes to Syracuse and just performs really well there. So, you know, obviously we have the Super Bowl MVP as a starting quarterback.

I feel extremely fortunate to have him. We have a young quarterback room behind him. We drafted a kid in the sixth round, Tanner McKee from Stanford, who got a chance to play last year and played really well as well. So, you know, for us, again, we talk about the lines a lot. The quarterback position is extremely important as well.

Getting young guys in here that can develop into the players that we think they can be. And I understand, you know, I'm probably not going to get an answer to this question. How's that for a windup, Howie Roseman? It's a beautiful thing because now it doesn't even matter what you're going to ask, I'm not answering. No, no, no, I understand. And I understand I've opened that door, but I got to ask it anyway. Everybody thought and again, and it could be viewed as a prism of like Kyle McCord isn't, you know, eventually your first choice. But were you going to, were you going to draft Chidor in the fifth round that the Browns jumped the line? Everyone thought it's because you were, you were interested in him. Let's just put it that way.

You were interested in Howie. Yeah. I would say that there are a lot of players that get taken before you picked in the draft, a lot of good players. And when you get to your pick, you're going off the board that you have.

Okay. So you went off the board that you had and he wasn't there when you drafted because the Browns jumped the line. That's what you're saying to that point.

I think everything you said is factual. I'm trying to think of where you're trying to catch. No, I'm just, I'm not trying to catch you.

How dare you, Howie Rose? We're not trying to catch you. I'm trying to just trying to get the conversation come out of the, out of the draft was about how far Chidor dropped and how, you know, everyone was pegging you as a spot because you were obviously as it was confirmed, you know, in, in the interest of taking the rookie quarterback to adding to your draft room, that's all I'm saying. But you're, you're, you're not confirming or denying that he was on your draft board. That's what you're saying. No, I wouldn't do that with anyone. So I certainly don't want to deal with one single player that could open the door to many questions, Rich. All right. So then let me ask you this question about that drafting, the number and your two cents on the subject matter of this pranking business.

And it wasn't just Chidor. It was so many other players going on, including Kyle McCord, apparently. Right. So what, what do you think should be done here?

Howie, you know, there's a lot of smart people in the league. I certainly don't know that I'm the one who should be speaking on it, but I think there's probably ways that we can do it where, you know, maybe the players get the GM's numbers. Maybe that doesn't work. Maybe they start pranking us.

That's happened to me before. So maybe that's not a great solution. I was thinking maybe FaceTime. I don't know.

I don't know. Maybe there's a general, maybe there's a general number for each team where they call from a cell phone. And, and that's the number that's only for the draft. And you have to FaceTime the player.

I'm thinking out loud, Rich. I'm trying to find solutions because it makes sense because my concern a little bit is that if you're on the clock and you can't get in touch with the player, there's concern from the team. So you don't want to get in a situation where they're not answering our calls either.

That wouldn't be good, but we'll find a really good solution. And I bet you that this will be fixed before next year. Sure. And so because again, just to confirm, because this is what I was told you as a general manager or team calling the player, it's important to, it's not just to welcome the player, right? It's, it's to make sure he's okay.

That he didn't trip over something that morning, right? Like that's no doubt. There's no doubt. You want to hear from the player. You want to hear the voice of the player. You want to make sure that you can be in contact with that player. And it is important. It is important and it is important to, to welcome them to the team as well.

And I think everything about the process, I'm very confident that this will be a great process by the 2026 draft. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Across state, across state from you, Howie. A couple more minutes left with the general manager of the two times Super Bowl champion and reigning Super Bowl champion, Philadelphia Eagles here on the show, the tush push being banned is still on the table, man. Like it's, it wasn't dispatched that there seems to be enough teams here that is saying that this is still a player safety issue or pace of play issue. Those were the two reasons that were placed before the membership by the Packers. I wonder what you, what you think and what potentially is being done behind the scenes to keep this play in the playbook.

Howie? Well, I don't think it's any secret what we think as a team. I certainly don't want to get into the merits here. It's, it's a league issue. Was happy that when we went to the White House, the president saw it our way for sure. But I know that they'll have a lot of conversations with that, with the owners when they meet in May.

Okay. And what's your expectation level? I'd love to get your two cents on this one of how Jalen Hurts is going to be now that he's won one, you know, the difference right between winning one and what sort of confidence level you can get and how you can continue to lead in a certain way now that you've got one in, in the case.

What do you think he's going to look like or, or come across like in a way now that he's got a trophy in the case together with you, Howie? Jalen's had an unbelievable start to his career. Maybe one of the most process oriented people I've I've ever met. And when you're that process oriented, it doesn't change by success.

You continue to do the things that have made you successful and look for ways to increase your level of being successful. And that's everything I've seen for Jalen in this off season. He's here every day. He's working extremely hard to continue to improve. And that's really what we're all trying to do here. We're trying to get better. You know, we understand that it's hard to win championships in the NFL and you know, for us picking later in the draft, having less resources than we do, we got to all do a better job.

You know, we got to continue to find ways to find edges, to compete at a championship level. And, and that's the goal, you know, to have that confetti fall on our head because it's a beautiful thing when that green and silver confetti, it falls on your head. It's like an amazing thing.

I am sure it is. And it's just not, not just for you, but for, for all Eagles fans, you mentioned Tanner McKee before, and he won a game for you this year. He beat the Cowboys, Howie. And I don't know if you're aware of what's going on around here. And again, you're generally managing not only the Eagles, your own life.

He, he, he, he played in that Cowboys game and then he started against the Giants. There you go. Okay. Just to, you know, I appreciate it. I don't want to be correcting you because you were great at what you do, but I thought it was important for Tanner to have that credit.

I appreciate that. I don't know if you're aware, we have a Dallas Cowboy fan on the set here. My, my compadre TJ Jefferson, who has been clowned multiple times this past year by Philadelphia Eagle diehard, Carl Anthony towns, Howie sent balloons to our set. He sent balloons to our set here, reminding TJ of the final score of the Eagles Cowboys game, sending a bunch of roses and the number of roses match the points that you guys put up.

He sent a mariachi band here to play fly Eagles fly for TJ. I'll tell you what Carl Anthony towns, what, what an unbelievable Eagles fan. We have some unbelievable athletes who are Eagles fans.

You know, on his own team, obviously he's got, he's got his point guard there. Who's an unbelievable player. Jalen Brunson, Mike Trout, Mike Trout.

I'm going to try to hire Mike Trout 15 years from now when he's done playing baseball. But we met after we won in 2017. I saw Carl Anthony towns in Indianapolis at our hotel.

He was playing against the Pacers. And that was the first time I met him and found out what a big Eagles fan he was. So I keep in touch with him as well.

Go birds. Great job. You know, great job by Howie.

It is TJ. It is, you have to give it up. The level of trolling was beyond compare at this point. It was top-notch Howie and look, I'm supposed to stay professional here and I want to like you. I do, but you've just made my life as a cowboy fan. So miserable, you know, I don't know what to say. Just like, would you stop being so good at your job? Can I continue to make your life miserable? It will be, it would make me happy if year after year we have this conversation. I got to work hard to do that, but that would make me happy. I pick Carl Anthony towns and myself over here.

There you go. I feel like we could be friends in another life too, but man, you're just right now, bro. I'm liking you now. It's hard for me even to say what I am saying because I'm liking just talking to you right now. You're a likable guy just for a few months in the fall.

We can't see eye to eye. It's all working for Howie Roseman. Congrats on all your successes. Gator wins. His Gators win it all in the tournament.

He wins it all and in the national football league. And I always appreciate you saying yes to come on on here. Howie. Congrats. You got a brother. Thank you. All the best.

Same to you. That's how he wrote him in the EVP and general manager of the Philadelphia Eagles right here on the rich Island show. I was stunned.

He didn't trade up into the first hour of the show before the show, but he would have, but none of us are from Alabama or Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia adjacent. Okay. See, I hate interviews like this.

I love them because people who are coming on here, we talked to him and now and now I like Howie. So now I can't boom. He's not going to sit here and say, Oh yeah, we were, but we were ready to take Chidor. I mean, I got to ask the question.

Yeah, you knew what you were getting from him. I don't like when he says I'm trying to trap him. I don't, I'm not a trap artist. That's not what that does. I don't trap. I'm not trapping. No, I understand general managers.

Their their way of generally managing is not to get aggregated in any way, shape or form by anything or anybody. So I'll ask Jason light the reverse. Don't think how he was going to draft Chidor. Okay, very good. Eight four four two Oh four. Rich is the number two odd number to dial on the program. Let's let's go from Howie Roseman to Tia career. I mean, who else is doing this?

If it bleeds, we can kill it. All right, that's number one. Here's number two. Okay.

Get to the chopper. You can't hear them. Yes.

So what I'm going to do, I'm going to, I'm doing this blindfolded. Wait a minute. Did Bill Walsh not have the volume up?

Did the Bill Walsh of sound engineers not have the volume up for the segment? Oh my God. This is not going well.

Oh, there's a method to his madness. Do you want to try one more time now? Go ahead. Go ahead. Okay. We can kill it. Okay.

If it bleeds, we can kill it. Okay. Here's the next one.

Here's the chopper. And here's the other one. Okay.

There's that one. Okay. Dark bench cut.

All right. Get to the chopper. It's cut because it's only an incidental line. And the only reason we remember it is because he's Austrian. If anybody else said choppers, it wouldn't have been a line. It wouldn't have been a line.

It's only because because he's Austrian. Cut, cut. It's superfluous. We're going to bench. So what you're going to do is you're going to start if it bleeds, we can kill it because it, because it's a succinct line and it's done in a very naturalistic way. Very well done. Now for everybody else who comes in here on the rich eyes and show, we're going to show them the bar. We're going to show them this start bench cut because you have raised the bar right here. We're going to edit out. We're going to edit that out. It's too good. Perfect. Ah, yes. He and Michael key back in the day when he was coming in to talk about the remake of predator.

I have a feeling that we might be invoking the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the next 15 to 20 minutes of this program. Just got that inkling back on the rich eyes and show radio network along with our Roku channel live stream. We're all wig. One big live happy family. I'm sitting at the rich eyes and show desk furnished by Granger with supplies and solutions for every industry. Granger has the right product for you. Call click ranger.com or just stop by a live action re-imagining of the 2002 animated classic family adventure hit Lilo and stitch is coming to theaters in just a few weeks.

And here to talk about that available exclusively in theaters, nationwide part of the original Lilo and stitch part of this one, ladies and gentlemen, Tia Carrara. How are you doing? Great. I'm doing great. Nice to see you. I'm here. I'm so excited.

I put some sparkly, I don't know, hula skirts on my heels for your show. You're not the first, uh, Arnold did the same thing when he was here. He's I'm already redundant. All right, fine. I'm going home.

Lilo and stitch. She's back. I mean, my kids, 22 years ago, 22 years ago, I did it. And, um, I'm so glad that I get to be another character different.

Yeah. I'm not 16 years old. I'm not the older sister Nani clearly. Um, but, um, I'm playing Mrs. K Koa now who's a social worker. That's trying to keep Nani on the, the correct path, let's say with my helpful, um, hints of, you know, how to do it.

So it's, it's going from the kid that's searching for a mentor to being the mentor, which is, I guess the natural evolution being, you know, around for 40 years when that comes your way, right? Like you, you, you probably were, I'd imagine surprised that there's going to be some sort of redoing of Lilo and stitch. You probably thought that might've been unless maybe not. No, no, it's, I mean, it's hard to imagine when you have a beloved franchise like that and it's in people's minds a certain way and water color and you know, it was just perfect.

So you're afraid to touch that. But I mean, Dean Fleischer camp did a tremendous job with Marcel the shell was shoes on, made me cry a little shell person and weeping in my own living room during COVID. Um, and so he, you know, puts the heart with the zany, um, you know, stitch is a crazy alien, you know, in CG. Um, it just, the heart and the zany, um, effects are married perfectly in this film. So I think there's going to be something for everyone.

Friday, May 23rd, everybody make a note of that right around a Memorial day weekend. Yeah. Fantastic. Everyone should make a note of theaters, nationwide Lilo and stitch the, uh, the live action re-imagining of this Disney classic is going to be coming back to your career here on the rich eyes and show. So I asked you before, uh, when I saw you in our green room, if you're a sports fan of any way, shape or form, which is not a requirement to appear on this program, but I'm happy for you to repeat your answer. Hollywood actress answer. And I said, well, I love seeing the Lakers in basketball when I have floor side seats. And I said, that's just like any other red blooded American. We need to get on that tonight.

Um, if not, it could be, uh, it could be a wait until next year. No, but I'll sing for my supper. I sang the national Anthem at the last Lakers game I went to. So you know, quid pro quo, some floor seats and perform the national Anthem, my favorite song to sing. And you also done it locally for the angels and the Dodgers, angels, Dodgers and Lakers.

Now the next Kings. Okay. Do we know, do you know what your win loss record is of these games? I don't think I'm good luck though.

No, no, I don't know the statistics on it, but it can go up in luck. It must be good. Cause you're invited back to do it. That's true. That's true. I did two Dodgers games, but they don't blame it on me. Whatever happens is what it is.

They're pretty good team though, too. It's pretty good for you to show up there. Uh, how, how, where does that rank on the nerve wracking? It's amazing. I love it.

It's just, it's, I, I I'm serious. This is my favorite song to sing. I used to sing it in senior year at sacred hearts Academy school for girls. And it was a great honor for a senior to sing that song for flag raising.

Okay. So I, you know, anytime I get to sing it, um, for inaugurations or whatever, you know, I, I love, um, it opens my heart. It makes my heart swell.

I'm a very patriotic American. Well, I mean, and I have been told though it's the toughest song to sing. Um, yeah, I just, yeah, it's, it's a rangy song to sing, but I, I don't know.

I had a lot of practice doing it. My sister was a Raider rat, but I never got to sing it at a Raiders. She was, she was, I went to the, um, no, the Coliseum downtown LA. Yeah. Long time ago, like 40 years ago, maybe 30 something years ago before they moved away. So you, your, your sister was a Raider rat.

She was on the front page of the sports page in her, in her little midriff and short shorts. Fantastic. Yeah. We'll have to look at it. All right. We have a game called celebrity true or false, where we go down somebody's history of film television and ask if these backstories that we've heard are true or not.

And I can stand on the fifth. If it's self incriminating, you may answer however you wish. Okay. We're not under oath.

We've done this for 10 plus years. Disney family show. That's all I'm saying.

Nobody's ever asked me whether this is a, you know, testimony or not, but, uh, hit it. Celebrity true or false. Lots to talk about celebrity. True or false with Tia Carrere here on the rich eyes and show first up true or false. You were discovered by a producer's mother and father while shopping in a Y Kiki grocery store. And that's how you landed Aloha summer to start your career.

That is absolutely true. It sounds like a made up PR story, like a Lana Turner Schwab story, but it's a God's honest truth. I had just finished a modeling shoot. So I had a garland of flowers around my head and a full face of makeup and I was in a bikini. So there was that it's not like I blended in, but, um, I was shopping for ground beef for dinner and a producer's mother and father came up to me. I literally had raw ground beef in my hands when the chance meeting changed my life and you know, I could have gone down, you know, the cookie aisle and never been discovered, but I was there in front of raw ground beef and uh, got my first movie female lead in Aloha summer. That's how that works. That's how that works. You went and you could have gone down the produce section, but instead you went down the producer section, I guess the raw meat section, which is potentially an analogy for the business.

I don't know. So that's, so you were just in a bikini in a, in a, in a, it was a crazy shirts, um, photo shoot. So there's this company there and they, I'm sorry, I just gave them a commercial. Um, but uh, yeah, you're in a bikini in a supermarket and that's how you know that and the t-shirt and then garland of flowers, you know, the lipo on my head and full of like pancake makeup back in the day.

Um, and shopping for groceries. It's just, you know, yeah. And then this producer's mother and father just flew in from Beverly Hills and said, her son's doing this movie Aloha summer.

I'd be perfect for the female lead. Yep. Okay. Uh, next up, true or false, you had a guest appearance all set on the a team and was supposed to lead to you joining the cast of the a team, but a recurring role on general hospital preventing you from doing. Yeah, that's a true story. Yeah.

It's too bad. I couldn't have done both. I was a regular on general hospital in the Asian quarter. Um, and I played Jade song. There's me with my little rice bowl haircut. Um, and yeah, and uh, I was supposed to be Tia.

They want to choose my real name on, um, on a team. So I was in the last episode of whatever season that was. George Papard's friend from Vietnam had a child, but they thought the child was a son.

And then all of a sudden someone starts a VC starts shooting at them from the Bush and that's me. Surprise. It's a girl. What the hell? Wow. That's incredible shows in the eighties and nineties.

That does sound like a wild eighties situation. It's a good one though. It's a good one. You got to check it out. No scenes with Mr. T. Yeah.

It was very confusing. They call T come to the set. No, I mean Tia. No, Tia. Very good. We could never have worked out.

Never would have worked out. What's the craziest plot you were involved with in general hospital. Ah, geez.

Okay. There was some valuable priceless black pearls that, um, were stolen and they were found in the eyes of a little baby doll that one of the characters had in the show. Priceless pearls.

Who knew it? Geez. Was this the Demi Moore, John Stamos era? Um, just after that. Just after that.

I think Emma Sams had just left for dynasty before I came on. I love it. Every word you just said, I love it. All right, next up. True or false. You turned down a part on Baywatch because of Wayne's world. That's true. That is true.

Yeah, it's true. Um, I had gone in for my audition for, for Baywatch and then they had to do like a swimming test and I kept dragging my heels because I had read the script Wayne's world and it had, you know, you know, kick butt, you know, Cassandra Wong, rock and roll martial arts. And, and I thought it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

That's what you thought. I thought I was like, there's nobody else I know that can sing that can do martial arts that can act, you know, and I had been doing it for a while, you know, and so this is going to be my, my movie, but we had to sort of, I could have lost both. So I'm, I'm so grateful that it seemed to come in just, it was, it was meant to be right. I had gone in for Baywatch a couple of times. I hadn't even gone in for Wayne's world and then I had like two more subsequent audition.

So it was really tight. So first of all, I've heard of screen tests. I've never heard of swimming tests. You really had a swim for Baywatch to swim. And honestly I'm not that good of a swimmer. So you had to really prove that you could swim to get a job on Baywatch. You had to drown, I guess. I mean, there are, I'd imagine there's tons of life-saving equipment around Baywatch. That's what they spend the whole time in like, you know, red bathing suits and no, you know, floaties around their arms. So there's no hiding a flotation device. Very good.

I know what you were thinking. Well, I mean, it was on the cast. Second one, true or false. You still have the red lace dress from Wayne's world.

Is that true? I do have the red lace dress. I should actually go and put it in a, I don't know, a safe somewhere, but I just tried it on recently. I have to send you the picture.

I'll send Liz a picture. Bless you. Congratulations. Thank you.

Mazel tov. So 40 years later. All right.

A couple of things. Is it true? Do, do people say the word swing to you when they see you? And I turned around and people like guys have been dropped to their knees, bowing before me saying that was Alice Cooper. That's not me.

I'm the swing. No, that's okay. It happens.

People dropping to their knees, bowing. It's, you know, we've had Rob Lowe here talking about how it was difficult to get through scenes. You got any stories like that? I bet it was difficult for him to do that. Like police officer one with the glove.

That's what he said. He couldn't get through it. You know, cause, cause Dana Carvey kept all also hammering some fake hand or whatever.

So talking about that cop that was pulling him over for the body cavity search. What do you, what do you, what about you? Like what a hard scene to do. Yeah.

Geez Louise. The whole thing was hard because we had, I think like 29 or 28 days of principal photography, which means for a studio picture, that's a breakneck speed. You had a couple of takes each and you moving on. So you had to have your stuff together and I had to learn how to play the bass. I had to learn all the songs. I was recording the soundtrack at the same time. And you know, and learning all that Chinese dialogue, it was a Cantonese dialogue. It was a lot. I held on for dear life. I was like Garfield, the cat, like, cause I mean, you were around some real comic geniuses on a set like that.

Fortunately, I just had to be the street guy. Very good. I like it. Next up, true or false, your original contract for true lies was for seven weeks, but ended up earning seven months of pay because of how long it took to shoot. I didn't realize it was just seven weeks. Yeah. It was about nine months.

I think I shot and the movie was shot over a year long. That was magic. That was magic.

I was so glad to be invited to the party on that one. Learning the tango, you know, taking tango lessons with Arnold, getting stomped on. What do you mean? No, cause I, I decided to do my tango lesson barefoot because I'm from Hawaii. I'm used to walking around barefoot. Big mistake when you're learning tango because you have to step, step, stomp, step, step, you know, and in his hard shoes and as big and as muscly as he is, that was very painful. You're saying Arnold stepped on your feet?

Yes. It wasn't his fault though. It was my fault because I wasn't wearing my shoes. I was just wearing my shoes.

Or, you know, I mean he could have had a better instead of two left feet or anything. It was our first lesson. I like it. Oh, you got any good Arnold stories? Your favorite Arnold story from True Lies? Oh my gosh. I don't know if he'd want me to tell him.

Now you have to tell him. He and all his friends are such, you know, the stunt guys and his stand-ins are, they're great guys, but they're like a bunch of dudes that hang out all day long and they, it's like the most benign thing. They're playing thumb war and I don't know, and lighting. Yes.

Yes. Lighting something. Lighting things on fire.

They would light things on fire, like the chairs on set. Wow. I know. But they're sitting around for 18 hours a day and I mean it was nothing unsafe or whatever, but a bunch of like, you know, teenage boys just trying to keep themselves energized by like dumb toy, dumb games. And you're sitting off onto the side and you're watching this stuff. What is happening?

No, no. I was, I was really, the one day that really freaked me out was we were shooting by Van Nuys airport and we're all hanging out. Everybody's having fun. And the earthquake, the Northridge earthquake hit and we were three miles from the epicenter. Geez. The glass was falling out of the side windows and Jamie Lee's like screaming. It's like, what's going on? And then we had to evacuate because there was a gas leak and who had all the dialogue?

It was my monologue in the torture scene. And I was like, okay, stay calm. I know there's an earthquake. I know this whole building could blow up around you, but nobody's going to remember that.

They're only going to think that you suck. So I had to just like focus and memorize my lines and do them the best I could. But yeah, the Northridge earthquake was going off around me as I was doing the torture scene in that movie. I had no idea. That's a bit of trivia.

Last one, the next, on the other side of things. You were in three episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. You were famously known as the bathroom monitor of Larry David and true or false that was based on a real person in Larry David's office. I don't know. No, that's false because my name Chacha was based on his daughter's equestrian coach.

Okay. But there was a real person in the office. They were concerned about monitoring his bathroom habits. You know, I didn't know about that part. I didn't, I was, I didn't see cause when you show up on that show, they don't tell you at all who your character is, what you're doing or anything.

Yeah. So it was completely improvised and I was, I would just verbal diarrhea, just talking, talking, talking and they go, okay, I like what you said about Ross dressed for less and you know, let's, let's you know, a carpool into the office and so then you give them more of that. But I was really shooting in the dark.

I didn't know what I was doing. That was all ad lib where you're like, all right, I'll write it in my file of facts. You said I write it in my file of facts because I did, I carried a little tiny book and I wrote in little tiny handwriting, all my appointments for the day.

So I carried an actual file of facts around with me. So you didn't know you were playing Richard Lewis's girlfriend or they did at least give you that information? When I got to set, cause I'd worked with Richard before. Yeah. Oh Richard. Right. He said, okay, Larry's not going to tell you anything, but I'm going to tell you a couple of things.

So you don't walk in there like deer in the headlights that you're my girlfriend and you're working in his office. I got you the job. I'm like, okay, good.

Thanks. Um, he didn't tell me all, you know, all the rest of it cause he didn't know. So it's a surprise to everyone that shows up on set there. Yeah. You being named the nickname, the bathroom monitor that you had bowel concern for Larry David is one of the funniest things I've seen in television ever. Well, I originally went in for the part of his, um, uh, not proctologist, but the one that gives enemas. And they said, no, no, no, we can't have you played that part. So they had me come in and play the bathroom monitor. Yeah.

I actually, that's true. I went in and I, my audition was for, uh, uh, and I don't, you know, they do that healing thing, colonic technician. I do believe they said that they would have a colon off, right? They would, they did.

They were, they were, they were going to compare colons. Yeah. Oh my God.

Yeah, no, but he's just too odd, man. I mean, we had dinner once we went out for dinner. He calls me up and he said, I said, what time he called me up in the afternoon. He says, let's have dinner. I'll meet you there now.

It's always now like some diva actress. And I said, what do you know? Come on now. He says, let's have dinner. I said, well, I just had a hero sandwich. She said, all right, I'll meet you at four Oh one, four Oh one. I said, then we were on the phone for an hour. I said, and we got up to five 18.

I said, all right. And it was this high profile thing. And Ron Rodeo drive or one of those streets in Beverly Hills that he used to, and he goes to a lot.

He's a regular guy, but he, he's Larry David and go wherever he wants. So can I, for that matter. So I got there an hour early to pay the check. I said to the mate, Hey, mr. Lewis, how are you? Call me Richard. But listen, I'm paying for dinner. And he says, Oh no, you can't pay when I can't pay.

I can't, what am I can't pay now? Mr. David would be upset. I don't care about it.

Then I did my Norman. I don't care about him. Can't follow me. I can't follow him. He can't follow me. I can catch him. I can. So he said, no, we won't allow it.

I don't mean you won't allow it. It was a screaming match. This sounds like an episode of curve by the way.

Yes. And I said, take my credit card. So I sit down. Larry comes an hour late after this hour phone for five Oh three five 18.

It was like a Jewish airport control out of control. So he gets there and I said, Larry, why don't we make believe it's 1972 and we're broke and we're all we care about is B is comedy and, and, and you know, and just our passion for our craft and whatever. And he's, and he says, what do you mean? What do you mean?

What I mean? We used to go to a Chinese restaurant, cheap. I'd get soup. We'd split it.

I'd get, what do you want beef? I'll get the shrimp. All right. Don't take too much of my shrimp. Then we'll split it.

It was like five hours. Okay. He says, we're not going to split anything here. He said, why not? You'll hurt the feelings of the chef. I said, I couldn't care less about the chef. I just, I'm hungry. He says, I know him. He's a personal friend.

I went, you know, and now I'm worried about the, the check. Okay. The chef comes out with 18 entrees on a turntable big enough.

We should have sent it to the army and to the Navy and to the Marines and all that. And to a third world country, we don't even have a discussion. Rich, the phone rings Steve Martin of course. And he doesn't say goodbye. He gets up, he goes, I forgot I have a poker night. And he leaves me with a hundred thousand dollar bill with this Chinese food that I couldn't even recognize. It looked like a peacock smoking a joint. I didn't even know what it was. This is an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I hope you do realize that wow. Oh my God, man. We had Richard Lewis here.

It's so cool. You know, cause we have in the back hung up in our green room, a, the first ever Superbowl signing board signed by all the celebrities who appeared at our first ever Superbowl in Arizona. And by the way, that was the Malcolm Butler interception Superbowl. And when Richard was here for the show, he signed that thinking, I guess it's for celebrities to sign and he signed it.

Because Richard Lewis is, and he put HOF like 72 or something. Man, just the best. He had bowel concern.

Why don't you terms and conditions apply? That was fun with Tia career right there, by the way, when she was saying that Arnie and the and the crew that was doing the stunts, the stunt crew was a lighting things on fire. Did you get the sense it was lighting, uh, some certain guests emanating from their own, uh, uh, bodies that lighting on fire that you think of that until you said it afterwards.

But yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I was literally going to say it on the air. I mean, obviously Arnold big cigar guy. So he's, you know, there, there you got the lighters for the cigars.

I'm sure. Notice I said that he's been a guest on this show. I didn't say he's sat in this chair because he did not sat in this chair. The only guy in the history of the show that would not sit in the guest chair provided because he said it was too low to the ground and would be taking away his energy. He needed to sit up and he couldn't.

And I'm like, okay. And he grabbed your chair, right? Which was, and before he come back on the air, we switched out the chairs and he said, I can't sit in that. It's a baby chair, baby chair. He called this a baby chair. Thank you for letting me use your chair, which is amazing because like Boban and Kareem Abdul Jabbar fact they're tall, I guess con conversely, Jason light Bruce Feldman coming up eight, four, four, two Oh four riches.

The number to see where I'm trying to get the tallest people in the show. Yeah. Tyson fury dude.

When Tyson fury came on because he also was wearing these hot pink shorts, really short shorts, seriously like John Stockton shorts. And he was all lakes. He just stretched and he stretched them out. It came to the middle of my table of my desk, you know, and he wasn't complaining that I was taller than him.

Nope. Carl Anthony towns sat in that chair. This actually happened. This is a baby chest wheel on my chair. It's RJ moving out.

Del two folks like you move it in. I wish I would've started recording earlier, but I was just so stunned. Like, wow, he's really grabbing the makes himself comfortable. He was much happier in that chair. So thank you for letting me use your chair. That's what he said to me. He thanked me. He thanked me. Yeah. Shook my hand. Thank you.

Isn't that nice? Yeah. Next level. Next level. Arnold Schwarzenegger, man. We've been around, man. We've had a few. I'm just going to say this. Oh, okay. That was Tia Carrere, bro.

My mom, my mom texted me. She's like Wayne's world. I mean, how many times I watch Wayne's world, bro. Like come on.

Wayne and Garth either. I'm gonna tell you that. Can you imagine you see Tia Carrere and you go up to her and you say the word swing to her? Yeah. You know, I would.

That's something I would do. That takes some guts. Camera one, camera two, camera one, camera two. I can't wink both eyes, but camera one, camera two. You can't wink both eyes.

I haven't seen that movie in forever. Is it appropriate to show to my kids? Oh, for sure. There's nothing lewd in there. No.

There's no excessive cursing or there's no nudity. Right. And Mike Myers and Dana Carvey have returned enough to Saturday Night Live for my kids to know who they are.

They do. Oh, that's the guy who plays Elon Musk. That's the guy who plays Joe Biden.

That's how they would know them. And I'm like, well, you know. Who plays Biden?

I mean, I don't watch Saturday Night Live anymore. No, Carvey did. Oh. Last year.

He came back and did. And this just an outstanding bite. I'm sure.

Yeah. Stan Makeda's Donuts. This Bush is great. Cassandra. George Bush. George Bush.

Thank you. George Bush. This guy. I mean, swing.

Stan Makeda's Donuts, dude. I know. We said that's what they just said. I heard it. I said it. And then you repeated it. It might be that noise is having second thoughts right now.

It's about giving us a third out. I said it. You repeated it. All right. Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing. So TV star Lala Kent holds nothing back.

There's been so many times where I'm like, I apologize that I said that, but that wasn't meant for you to hear. How fun would it be to bring in some Bravo celebrities and make our own bracket icon? All right. I'll take Dorinda. You take Sonya.
