01:42 Why is it time for this movie now?

01:44 - It just was.

01:45 I mean, we've had so many.

01:46 Benny, dude, come on.

01:52 We're in the middle of an interview and you're peeing.

01:54 These are nice shoes I just bought for this premiere.

01:57 Look at the face he's giving me.

01:58 This is the same attitude you had on set.

01:59 I remember this.

02:01 Come on, oh, more?

02:02 You're gonna do more?

02:04 Oh my God.

02:05 - You got it.

02:07 Yeah, you got it.

02:07 - He's gotta get the leg cutters.

02:09 - You got it.

02:10 - It's not you, it's him.

02:11 - It's him, no.

02:12 - It's really him.

02:13 - I sympathize with my actors who literally, like, on set--

02:16 - Would have, this way?

02:19 Yep.

02:20 - They would basically have to do what this is

02:21 and then just wait.

02:22 - Yeah.

02:23 - And then there's a moment where the trainers aren't talking

02:24 and then they could deliver their lines.

02:25 - Yeah.

02:26 - It's like very hard acting.

02:27 - Oh yeah.

02:28 - Like, they have to be in it and then, like, yeah.

02:30 - Oh, the butt, oh.

02:32 - Oh, look at that family.

02:36 - This way?

02:37 - That's right.

02:38 - Got it.

02:39 - Christmas time.

02:40 (laughing)

02:41 - All right.

02:42 - I'm gonna go like that when we're ready.

02:45 - All right, you tell me, Austin.

02:47 - Are you ready?

02:49 - Yep.

02:50 - Okay.

02:52 - Josh, we have seen so many cutesy talking dogs.

02:55 Now we finally get to see dogs the way they really are.

02:57 And that is raunchy and impossible, right?

03:00 - Yeah, it was time to take the genre and...

03:05 Benny, come on, dude.

03:08 - Yeah.

03:10 - I'll make it faster, I'll make it faster.

03:14 I'll make it really fast.

03:15 - This is literally just like being back on set

03:17 and you're feeling like what I felt.

03:20 - One more, no, it's not easy.

03:23 - That's right.

03:24 - So you need less time for me, right?

03:26 Yeah, yep, you got it.

03:28 You tell me when.

03:29 - Yep, good.

03:31 - Good buddy.

03:33 All right, Josh, we've seen so many cutesy dogs.

03:36 Now we get to see some raunchy dogs.

03:37 Tell me about that.

03:39 - It was time.

03:40 I mean, we've had so many of these kind of films.

03:42 Benny, are you serious, dude?

03:47 These are like brand new shoes.

03:50 And you're just gonna look me in the eye

03:51 while you're doing it.

03:52 Okay, no, I know what you just said.

03:57 I was on set long enough to know

03:58 and that's really messed up, man.

04:01 You know what?

04:02 No, I'm just kidding.

04:03 (laughing)

04:04 Don't use that.

04:05 (laughing)
