00:00Hi, I'm Jack Black and I'm Paul Rudd and this is the Wired Autocomplete Interview
00:09I still don't quite understand the rules of this game and I've done this before
00:15What is Jack Black and I pull this off, right? I think so. What is Jack Black about?
00:21What is Jack Black about? That suggests it's not it's not a question about me. It suggests it's
00:27It's it's a question about a book called Jack Black. What's Jack Black about? The book. Jack Black's all about entertainment
00:38Wait, there's no right or wrong?
00:40No, it's just
00:41You just answered the question. Yeah, you can't win or lose this game. Oh, I love it. You can only win
00:47I stand by that answer. All right. Is Jack Black
00:52Kung Fu Panda? The answer is yes. How many times did you do that? How many times did I do Kung Fu Panda?
00:57Dude, so many times because there's like one two three and then there was also a four but then there's also a tv
01:05I'm gonna say six. Fun experience? So fun. Dude, role of a lifetime. I've been doing it longer than any role I've done
01:13Who is Jack Black's favorite band? That's tough because it's it's constantly in flux. If I had to pick
01:23This is gonna sound boring. It's like your favorite ice cream is vanilla. It's the Beatles. It's the only answer
01:28It's the best band in the world!
01:31Any new one? Any current one that you can play on? Oh man, look at this guy. Look at this guy trying to
01:35But he hates the Beatles. Well, he wants to know what's the latest like the hot
01:38The hot, the hot, the hot fresh
01:40What are the kids listening to now these days? You know what? I was in the makeup and hair trailer with my beautician
01:45Raw's music and she said let's listen to this new record. It's the lead singer from geese
01:50Solo album. What's that guy's name? Christian McCafferty? Cameron winter
01:56Check out his album called heavy metal. There's no heavy metal on the album, but what a brilliant poet. Have you checked out this?
02:02Yeah, hot tip. Okay, Cameron winter and everyone is the flavor of the month. Everyone's like
02:10You know, it's kind of annoying when you guys when you like the thing that is
02:13It's really hot right now. Yeah, but I'm gonna say that that heat is justified. Is Jack Black fluent in Spanish?
02:21Nope, but I can fake it pretty good like I can
02:25But really I need to practice a lot more to really really know Spanish
02:38I don't really know it you fool me man. That's not pretty good. I know it sounds fluent. What did Jack Black?
02:44Just say is that really the question? Yeah, they knew you were gonna do that. That's brilliant. Oh my god
02:51Uh, the answer is
02:53the answer is
02:55We're in a vortex now. Now the answer is we're in a vortex now. Now the answer is it never ends. It never ends next question
03:04Oh, damn, dude. Oh, I almost knocked that picture off the wall. I think there's a new kung fu pounder in town
03:11What music does Paul Rudd like? Oh my gosh, I mean, there's many types of music that I like
03:18Uh, that's an impossible question. I would say that I'm gonna go, um
03:22I mean, I could say alt rock. Ooh, yeah
03:25Yeah, pretty crazy answer. Yeah, I like classic rock. I like 70s soft rock. Yeah, like old school country
03:31Hell yeah
03:32I like Irish music keep going
03:35Um, I like classical music. Ooh, man. I think it's really good classical music. Hell yeah
03:40Um, I don't know without let's let's go with let's drill down a little bit. Okay
03:44Name one classical composer that you actually like
03:48Oh my god
03:50Well, Bach, my favorite. Ah, dude, good answer. That's my favorite. He's the Beatles of classical music
03:56That's exactly right. All roads glued to Bach
03:58I think
04:00I may be wrong that the Beatles might have stolen the little Bach
04:04Oh, yeah, I think everyone did
04:06No, that's Beethoven. What about Blackbird? That comes from?
04:11Oh, yeah
04:11Oh, yeah
04:14Bach
04:15What were you gonna say though before I so rudely interrupted you that I love Bach
04:21Okay, you know what's interesting to me?
04:23What was not in your list of genres?
04:26Heavy metal?
04:26Jazz
04:27Jazz
04:28I like jazz
04:29Liar
04:29I do like jazz
04:30I hate jazz
04:31No, I don't
04:32But the jazz that I like, it's like country
04:34I like some of the old school
04:37And then I can get into some Mingus where you know
04:40Oh, Mingus! I was gonna say name one, but you went to Mingus
04:43No, no
04:43You're legit
04:44You're legit
04:45So Mingus is a
04:46Yeah, that's that's
04:47You don't start with Mingus
04:48No
04:48You graduate to Mingus
04:50That's a real jazz aficionado answer
04:52Next!
04:53What did Paul Rudd do before acting?
04:56I glazed hams
04:58For real?
04:58For real I did that
04:59I cleaned hot tubs
05:01I delivered newspapers
05:02I worked in a restaurant in the kitchen
05:05I've had a lot of weird jobs
05:06I DJed and emceed, you know, like kids parties
05:09Nice
05:10Weddings and bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs
05:14Maybe a couple of b'nai mitzvahs
05:16This is all news to me
05:17I didn't know any of this
05:18Yeah, there's some other weird ones that I've had a lot of
05:20I had a lot of really kind of strange jobs
05:22All I know is I want to come over to your house when it's glazed ham time
05:27And when you are spinning DJ discs for the after ham dance party
05:31Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the post ham party is
05:33Dude, for real I'm coming over
05:35Anytime you want, Jack
05:36You say that
05:37I do just say, but I mean it
05:38When I come to town and I give you the jingle
05:40It goes straight to voicemail
05:42And what is Paul Rudd's best movie?
05:47I'm supposed to include that
05:48Oh, well, that's easy
05:50That's Star Wars
05:51I thought you were going to say Anaconda
05:52Wait, you're not in Star Wars
05:55You're right
05:56Wait, what do I mean?
05:57What's Paul Rudd's best movie?
05:57I'm going to go as Anaconda
05:58It's not one of Paul Rudd's favorite movie
06:01What was Paul Rudd, Celery Man, about?
06:06Got me
06:07It's a Tim and Eric sketch
06:09Oh man
06:10And Celery, it was, you know
06:12I was playing a guy who was at work
06:14Had a very important work to do
06:16They got a little, I don't know
06:18Maybe on company time did some things for myself
06:22With a computer
06:24Dude, you're a genius
06:28You're a genius
06:29You look like in Beatles of comedy
06:31And the Bach
06:34You're the Bach and the Beatles of
06:35You're Jack Bach
06:37Not Jack Black
06:39Just keep this up, don't
06:41Just keep that up
06:42Oh yeah
06:44Oh, oh
06:45Oh, wow
06:46Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
06:48I almost knocked the picture over again
06:55We've got more boards?
06:58Oh
06:59That was definitely the grand finale
07:01Oh shit
07:02Seven total
07:03All right
07:03Oh shit
07:04What are Jack Black's hobbies?
07:09Nobody knows this
07:10I'm a numismatist
07:12Do you know what that means?
07:13No
07:13Coin collector
07:14I love coins
07:15And I got a rad coin
07:17My best coin
07:18Is probably my 1792 flowing hair penny
07:23I don't think it's 1792
07:25I'm not a very good coin collector
07:27I can't even remember the date of my favorite coin
07:30That's very interesting
07:32Here's what's rad about this penny
07:33It's a flowing hair penny
07:35And the puritanical ways of America at that time were like
07:41It's like pornography
07:43Her hair is blowing in the wind
07:45Stop making that coin immediately
07:47And then the coin's value skyrocketed
07:50Because there's only
07:51There's not that many of them
07:52It's like the Honus Wagner of coins
07:54And it also has like a little historical value
07:57It tells about this puritanical religious kind of
08:00That's really
08:01It's really
08:01I think it's really interesting
08:03It's kind of cool
08:04It's really cool
08:04And my other favorite coin
08:06There's a standing liberty quarter
08:08It was back when quarters were made of pure silver
08:10And there's a breast revealed
08:13One breast
08:14And you can tell the quality of the coin
08:17Based on the nipple definition
08:19So what I'm saying is
08:21My best coins are all slightly pornographic
08:23Those are the ones to get
08:25Those are absolutely the ones to get
08:27And a numith
08:28A numith
08:29Numithsmatist
08:31A numithsmatist
08:32Is a philatatist something about
08:35Like a stamp collecting?
08:37A philatist?
08:38A philatist?
08:39That sounded a little weird
08:40That's something else
08:41What is Jack Black's character in School of Rock?
08:44Dewey Finn
08:45But his alter ego
08:47When he pretends to be a real substitute teacher is
08:51Hold on, don't tell me
08:53You should remember this
08:54I can
08:55It's Professor Schneeblay
08:57Mr.
08:58Ned Schneeblay
08:59Ned Schneeblay
09:00Thank you
09:00And I say it because
09:01Because I've seen that movie so many times
09:03And I've said this to you
09:05And I've said it over and over again
09:07To anyone who'll listen
09:08One of the greatest performances
09:10Of any movie
09:11Comedic everything
09:12All time
09:13For sure
09:14I'll just say
09:14The reason why
09:15If I was good in that movie
09:17Is because that
09:18That role was written for me
09:21Mike White
09:22Mike White
09:22Straight up genius
09:23He is
09:23On White Lotus now
09:25And if you ever get a chance
09:27If Mike White ever writes a part for you
09:29Jump
09:30Just do it, dude
09:31Mike White
09:31You
09:32And Linklater
09:33Yeah
09:34That's a
09:34That's a
09:34That's like a murderer's row
09:36What did Jack Black recently do?
09:39Did a little movie called
09:40Anaconda, motherfucker
09:41See it in theaters
09:42On December 25th
09:44Worldwide
09:45Merry Christmas
09:46What is Jack Black's vocal range?
09:50Oh, that's a good question
09:50I have a 17 octave range
09:53Wow
09:53It starts down here
09:55Don't
10:02No
10:03Dogs are barking
10:04Did you hear it?
10:06I hear the dogs barking
10:07In the distance
10:07Toss that mother
10:08All right
10:10Anaconda
10:11Why do anacondas
10:12Get so big?
10:15Because they're aroused
10:17Yeah
10:17That's exactly right
10:18Next
10:20Why do anacondas
10:21Give live birth?
10:23What does that even mean?
10:24I don't know
10:24What are they going to give
10:25Pre-recorded birth?
10:26They're going to give
10:26Dead birth
10:27No eggs
10:29No eggs?
10:30Oh
10:31Oh
10:31Oh, but they don't have eggs
10:32Yeah
10:33That's why
10:34Yeah
10:35No eggs
10:36What came first?
10:37The anaconda or the egg?
10:38It's an age-old question
10:39Do anacondas have a personality?
10:45Not really great ones
10:46I don't
10:47Yeah, I think
10:48Oh, I know
10:48You've seen one
10:49You've seen them all
10:50I don't want to insult
10:51Any anacondas
10:52That might be watching
10:53But
10:53They're not real
10:54Snuggly
10:55Not the most affectionate creatures
10:56In the universe
10:57Can you pet an anaconda?
11:00Technically, yeah
11:00You can try
11:02Yeah
11:02That is a slimy, slithery one
11:06Last one
11:06Might an anaconda
11:08Eat you?
11:11Yeah, I think
11:11Yeah
11:13I think so
11:13Eat you up
11:14Regurgitate you
11:15Eat you again
11:16Delicioso
11:17Might I eat an anaconda?
11:19They say they taste just like chiacan
11:21Be careful, you guys
11:22This is coming in hot
11:23Ha!
11:25You're
11:26Wait till Kung Fu Panda 7
11:28After that
11:28Last but not least
11:31The final
11:32Gold card
11:34What team does Paul Rudd like?
11:38I could answer this one
11:39Go for it
11:40Kansas City
11:40Motherfucker Chiefs
11:42We're playing right now
11:43Kansas City Chiefs
11:44Oh, dude
11:44We're missing it
11:45No, I know
11:45First time in a long, long time
11:47Can we get a score?
11:48Right now it's 7-3
11:49I was just watching it before we came
11:50First quarter
11:51When did Paul Rudd
11:55Host SNL?
11:56Well, I've hosted a few times
11:57The last time I hosted
11:58Are you a five-timer?
11:59I am
12:00Come on, baby
12:01And the last time
12:02Was the only time
12:04A show was cancelled
12:05The day of
12:06Omicron outbreak
12:07Oh my god
12:08So we had to kind of
12:10Go on the fly
12:11It was interesting
12:12Wow
12:12Yeah
12:13Why did Paul Rudd
12:15Join Friends?
12:18I was certainly fortunate enough
12:19To get an audition
12:20I was in Los Angeles at the time
12:23I went down
12:23I met Lisa Kudrow
12:25I read with her
12:26I got this part
12:27It was only supposed to be
12:27A couple of episodes
12:28But it was amazing
12:30It just kind of kept going
12:31So it was a surprise to me
12:33I guess the answer is
12:34Because you wanted to
12:35Because I was lucky enough
12:37To get the part
12:37Yeah, because they asked
12:39Next
12:40How Paul Rudd
12:42Got shredded
12:44Oh, well, it's my life
12:46You know
12:49Well, a lot of times
12:51It depends
12:51It depends if it's a pull day
12:53Leg day
12:54Might be
12:55If I'm working tries and byes
12:57Could be lats
12:57Could be squats
12:58Could be deadlifts
13:00I don't know
13:00You know
13:01It's just
13:02It's just a way of life
13:03It's just what I do
13:04Dude, I wish
13:05I could one time
13:07Be shredded like you
13:08By the way
13:10Anyone can be
13:12I spent some time
13:13In the gymnasium
13:14And it never seems
13:16To reap the benefits
13:17I'm not
13:18Me either, by the way
13:20That was just
13:20It was a fleeting thing
13:21Can I just like
13:23Follow you around
13:24For a couple months
13:25And just do whatever you do
13:27Eat whatever you eat
13:28Leg lift whatever you
13:30Leg lift, etc
13:31You absolutely can't
13:33But I think you'll find yourself
13:34To be mightily disappointed
13:36I'm not a gym rat
13:37Alright, well
13:38It starts now
13:39We're in
13:40What's for lunch?
13:41Well, probably just
13:42A big plate of fries
13:43I can do this
13:45Covered in frosting
13:46This is easy
13:47That's all the boards
13:49I feel strong
13:50I would like to say
13:51A special thanks
13:53To whomever it was
13:55That so beautifully taped
13:57Over the questions
13:59Because that's a lot of work
14:01Yeah
14:01To really get that done correctly
14:02And I feel as if
14:04They go on
14:06Heralded
14:06They really do
14:07And it was so user friendly
14:08Because they had the tab
14:09That was easy to peel off
14:11Yeah, there's like
14:12And they also fold over
14:13The corner
14:13So it's popped up
14:15So it's easy to do
14:16You make it easy for us
14:17Is that person here
14:18Who did that
14:19Come here
