Q. Were there any secrets you guys left in Vegas?

AK: Secrets…we left in Vegas..

RC: No…I don’t believe in secrets.

AK: I had a steam shower that fit 9 people.

Q. And how many did it end up fitting?!

AK: One….(laughter) I don’t know, what happened in Vegas?

RC: We shot the movie. We worked at night.

AK: Yea, we started shooting at like 3. So really, we woke up…

RC: Oh man, but I went nuts in that mall!

AK: We had coffee….

RC: Went to a bookstore! (laughter)

Q. What is the secret to a happy marriage?

AK: (laughter) My friend actually just wrote a book called The Spiritual Rules of Engagement, that is coming out really soon. It sorta lays out, as far as I am concerned, the secrets to a happy marriage. I think at the core of it, it’s about working on it. I think guys grow up and they sorta like from a very young age, are taught  the sorta apex of a relationship is sex. So guys are like, from a very young age are like, ‘some day, I’m gonna have sex!’ And like that’s the goal, right? And I think that women from a very young age, are socially conditioned to say, ‘some day, I’m gonna get married’ right? And it’s all about the wedding and the gown. And they are socially conditioned to find those 2 goals. And I think neither sex is socially conditioned to have the desire to be married. So it’s to get married, to have sex—but everybody’s missing what happens after that. Because the goal of being married is a lot of work. If people start the desire to work on their relationship, and set that as the goal, we’d be a lot better off. Like, if you got a new job, right, and you got hired at the new job, and you showed up and you didn’t work, you’d probably get fired pretty quickly. I think people think that once they get married, all right the work’s done, when really you just got the job.

Q. Who is the author?

AK: Yehuda Berg

Q. With your new show, every time a new item breaks with a celeb, everyone is questioning it now.

AK: That’s why I did the show.

Q. Can you talk about that, reaction, etc.

AK: Yea my whole desire to do the show was that I felt that I felt a lot of the tabloid magazines and shows were just making stuff up for their own commercial gain. They would put headlines that had question marks behind them because they didn’t know whether or not it was true, but then report it as if it was news. And I felt that sorta false journalism that is predicated on questions as opposed to answers, was really nothing more than a soap opera that was being played out by the magazines for commercial success and commercial gain. And so I figured that I couldn’t beat it, right, because they call themselves press, and stand behind the amendment of freedom of the press and say that what they are actually doing is proper journalism and so I figured if you can’t beat them, throw a wrench in their works. And so the show is designed to create the question as to the validity of the stories because a lot of this stuff isn’t true. And it has succeeded in doing that.

Q. What’s been your fav prank?

AK: I don’t like doing it so I don’t have a favorite. I’m really doing it to prove a point.

Q. This reminded me of one of those 1940’s movies films, do you have a fav from that time?

AK: That’s really tough, because I like them a lot. This reminded me most of Bringing Up Baby, that sorta battle between 2 people that are really only battling to be together.

Q. Any annoying bathroom habits that your wife doesn’t like?!

AK: Bathroom habits? None that she doesn’t like. I have this—when I wake in the morning, the first thing I do is take my dogs out so they don’t pee on my floor. And so when I took my dogs out, I take them outside, I sometimes go to the bathroom with them. (laughter) They are going outside, so I just go outside. It’s sorta like gotta pee in the woods kinda thing. It makes me feel really manly like I’m camping.

Q. Do you lift your leg with them too?!

AK: I can actually pull it off with both feet on the ground, believe it or not! I worked many years to be able to piss with 2 feet on the ground! That’s my skill!

Q. Shooting in Vegas, it mentions in press notes re couldn’t stop city from going on, etc. what was that like, any stories

AK: Well, we drew some crowds. Like in front of the Bellagio, there was a pretty big crowd. There was a guy with a parrot on his shoulder. He hung out. I don’t know where I am going with that, but he was just there.

RC: There’s a guy with a parrot on his shoulder like every other block in Vegas. And like a white boa constrictor and a fucking monkey or something.

AK: Why the parrot? Like why…

RC: Wasn’t he charging people to take a picture with the parrot?

AK: Yea, he ‘s like do you want to take a picture and you take a picture with the guy, and then he charges you.

RC: I spent a thousand dollars on that. I was like ok, it’s Vegas, I’m in the mood! Yea, keep taking pictures! What do I win?!

Q. Rob, your character refers to Lake’s character as stripper DO you think he thinks of that nickname as a compliment, and also what was it like working with her?

RC: No and good. He definitely doesn’t think it’s a compliment. And Lake Bell is a pleasure wrapped up in a joy, sealed with good times.

Q. Ashton your character is inspired to complete the things he is building with the wood. Can you build/fix anything?

AK: My dad was a carpenter. And my step dad was a carpenter. And I started working construction when I was 12. And my stepdad and I built a house that my stepdad and my mother currently live in. I have a construction company with my dad and we flip houses in Los Angeles. And so I’ve built some stuff.

Q. What did you build at home?

AK: No, I brought in professionals to do that!

Q. What’s next?

AK: I have a couple of movies. A movie called Personal Effects that I do with Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates. It’s a dark film about 2 people that find solace in each other in the steps of the courtroom, courthouse.

Q. Another legal drama

AK: That’s how I do it, I like to roll with the players. And then I have a film that I  finished that will come out after that called Spread. About a guy, kinda a climber who sleeps with wealthy women for their money. And then after that I have a couple of tv shows that are going to be coming out that I am producing, which I can’t actually announce yet because it hasn’t been officially announced. That’s it for now, I’ll find something to do.
