Ah ha! There we go. Now we're in the mud. Ah! Hey, what's going on everybody? For First We Feast, I'm Sean Evans and you're watching Hot Ones. It's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings. And today we're joined by Matthew McConaughey. He's an Oscar award winning actor, tequila purveyor, and New York Times number one bestseller. To prove the point, Pantolones is his premium organic tequila brand. and he has a brand new book out as well. It's called Poems and Prayers. Matthew McConaughey, welcome to the show. Good to see you again, Sean. I did show once before and we saw each other again when we shot that Uber Eats ad. Yeah. The Buffalo, the Buffalo Bill scene.
That was fun and I thought the funniest one, the funniest skit in the whole ad. Do you feel like those past experiences have prepared you for today? Like what's going through your head as you prepare to take on the hot ones going on? That's a loaded question, isn't it? My appetite's not bad right now. It's already coming in my nose. I see what's happening. Let's see where we go. Coffee day sounds innocent enough, doesn't it? Yeah. We're coffee grounds and um, mellow morning, a little earthy. Touch of spice in the middle of the tongue, about five seconds in, but nothing to run anybody off. Yeah. What do you think about it? I think that that was beautiful, eloquent, and I'm in the scene now.
You know what I mean? I'll never taste this sauce the same way again. So your new book is a collection of some 40 years worth of poems and prayers that you've been writing since you were a young man. Have you always seen yourself as a poet or did it naturally emerge from your near pathological journal keeping? Pretty pathological journal keeping, huh? No, I'd always written poems. Well, since 18. But you know when you're writing poetry and you're young, you're usually asking those big existential why questions about the world and shit and then trying to make sense of your own life. So my first poem, when I was in Australia as an exchange student, which was a wacky, wacky year for me, where I was wobbly, lost, and looking.
And I started writing poetry then, and then continued to write poetry. Just rhythm, puts a little rhythm to life. You know what I mean? I mean, especially if it's a good word or to an aspiration and it can rhyme and you can have a little dance jig to it, even better. It makes all that makes it even more digestible. So I've continued to write and I just look back and found these over 36 years, enough to fill a book. And I said, you know what? Those may be worth sharing. So let's put them in a book called Points of Prayer. Crema Maca. I like this one. I like this one. Question.
You like the leg or wing better? So I think as a young man, I liked the drumstick, you know, because there was something kind of cutesy about it. But as I've become older, more experienced, you know, I now appreciate the flat a little bit more. Same way. This was cool. The drumstick was cooler to have. You fought for it, but this little guy. That's a sophisticated man. Exactly. Hey, man. What is the fastest yes that you've ever said to an acting offer? Like, is there a pitch or is there like a role that was the most immediate green light for you? Yeah. Steven Soderbergh calls. That magic mic. Steven Soderbergh never called me before. I was wishing he would have and he did.
He goes, I got this guy, man, kind of runs this strip club, I said, no, You know Dallas, that's the character he is, Dallas is uh, he's pretty connected to the UFOs man. And I just went ah! Well okay the route's off man. Okay this is, let imagination run free right now. And uh that was a quick yes and what a great line to live with for two weeks before I read the script and looked at it I was like yes he is quite connected to the UFOs thank goodness. Pickled garlic Sriracha on drumstick. Alright. The pickle, that sriracha can be thick and salty. But the pickle cuts it a little bit.
It does, right? And I don't think as intense as with the spice is number two, you know? There's like a little bit of cat-and-mouse game being played over here. At the end. . . At the end, this is when this happens. This is when this happens. Right there at the end, I got a little bit more of it reminded me that it had the spice in it. mm-hmm, mm-hmm. We're back in the koi pond. Okay. Yeah, the pickle just cuts it just a hair. A little touch. Thank you to the vinegar. So I know that acting's an immersive experience, but have you ever been so blown away by a co-star's performance that it turned you into a spectator? Like, for example. . . Yeah.
When Anthony Hopkins nails seven pages of a courtroom monologue in Amistad and you're behind him, are you mentally still in character? You brought up me. Are you in awe of what you're witnessing? I'm mentally still a character, but there's a compartment back here that's going, what? Well, look at this. In Hopkins, that's exactly the example I would have brought up to you. Because here's what Hopkins does.
He's talking to you, oh yeah, I love my, I love, you know, I love drumsticks, or they're all new hot sauces, cream, matcha, and there's a, action, and you go bam, and you're like, shit, you were just talking to me, you were talking about chicken and hot sauces, and he'll, right up into the action, he'll just come up, and you look in his eyes, and you're seeing somebody else. It's almost like they're seeing through you, and then you're watching this experience, and you're seeing this emanation of a character coming at you. And it does catch you. I remember it catching me a little off guard, which hopefully that worked for the scene from my character's eyes.
But yeah, you get someone who nails something like that and goes on, you do get on the ride, and slightly it's easy to become a bit of a spectator and understand that what you're watching is a form of greatness. Passa flora, okay. No heat up front. No heat up front. You actually think maybe that should have been in the one hole. Right. Give it a second. Exactly. You know. You've been through it. You know. That's a different kind of heat though, man. Yeah. That flanked the edges. It went around the side and went straight to the tops. We're coming at you from all angles here on this show. Exactly. It's a horseshoe. Slipped in the back of her. Picked the back of her.
Picked my pocket. Oh no, there's a leak. Okay. Chile. Agua de fuego. All right? I see you, and you see me, and you know you're still hanging around, and you're sitting over there giggling going, I don't really introduce myself until 20 seconds in. Ha ha! You all right? So, director Breck Eisner once said that you'll do any stunt that the insurance company will allow. What stands out as the most bizarre, memorable injury you've ever suffered while making a movie? Bizarre, memorable injury? And I've had a few. Oh, it's bizarre, but it's also, I look back, it was like so silly. Rain of fire. The scene is, walk across this burnt out field, and then there's an open shed that drops down to the bottom of the ground.
We walk and drop down to a tunnel. You can see, the lights were on. You could see the bottom of the tunnel. It was about a six foot drop. Right, so you see it, go down, you know when to bend your knees and take in the impact. Now we get in take, we get in the take, and I go out there, and as I arrive and get to it, you The lights were turned out because it was low lighting for the scene. I couldn't see the floor. But the scene's gone well at that point. I'm like, well, I remember where the floor is, just six feet.
And I jumped in, and because I didn't see the bottom, I didn't know when to bend my knees and take the impact. And I hyperextended my left leg and crumbled. And right when I did, I was like, that was such a dumbass move. I should have said cut. I don't see it. But you were feeling it. I was in it. You were in rhythm. You were in flow state. Six feet down, I can do this. And I remember, bop. And that was a silly injury. Neil's got a yellow sort of saber tiger on the cover. And then this one's like the chimichurri is up front. You know? But you know. Because you're seasoned. Yeah. Herbie. Very. No problem.
Walking through the garden, you know? Yeah, picking flowers. It's good because it's going to get weird here, you know? And this is a diving board into the weirdness? This is a diving board into the weirdness. This is a launch pad. Yeah, exactly. Into the second half. It's a launch line. So we've come into halftime. Launch pad line. We've come into halftime. I mean, with a clean Speedo on. We're good. Yeah. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Okay. Well, water's been kind and we've been kind to it. That's exactly right. We can be skinny dipped, it's no problem. Nothing can burn you here so far. So far. But wait a minute. Coming up on the deep end of the pool? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the sharks are swimming. The sharks are circling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh. Call 911. Sharks in the water. I'm water in my yard in a hundred year drought. So I had the great pleasure of sharing a scene with you for the Super Bowl commercial that you did last year and one of my lasting memories of it was your enthusiasm for workshopping lines and reshaping the script on the spot. Do you believe in the treat everything like it's Shakespeare approach to acting where even if you're doing a commercial you're still gonna find motivation the same way that you would for any other role? We can't do any wrong especially when you roll the tape especially like ads like that.
We're only looking we're looking for what ten seconds? What's the best little bit? You know, exchange that has the right kind of pace, that gets the information out. Bill's like, what about you? Bill, I don't know. We just try it. We start going back and forth. You mix it up. You say one thing. I say another. I say what you said this time. You say what I said. You just get it going. And you find a little cadence, a little rhythm. And I like those snaps, because when you crack the code on it, that's what you would do. You'd go, that's the one. That's the one. You can feel it. That's what's great. It's very much like music.
When you hit it, you're like, that's it. I saw what you felt is what's great. You know, when you're doing it well and you do hit the mark. And when what you felt, the person objectively who's watching through the camera is going like, That's the one. That's the one. Sounds so innocent. I'm a real tropical yellow. We think of bananas and sunshine and lemons. Things that aren't comforting, you know? Okay. Tropical Amarillo. Coming out with a blade on the end of its spear. It's not going in you, drawing blood, but it's definitely cut the epidermis. Yeah. It's foreshadowing, I think. No, but it's. . . It's got a little identity. It's coming in. Treble heat, though. Treble heat.
Front of tongue. Mmm. Right? Yeah. Top shell. Top shell. Staccato. Staccato, not legato. Yeah, yeah. Even it's just kind of my top lip that's numbing up a little bit right now. Yeah, you don't want to start licking your lip too much, because you can tell it's going to hang around. You also can tell you don't want to get this one on your fingers and then go take a piss. Listen, I've learned that lesson. Let me ask you this. When that first happened. Did you get scared wondering why it was burning? No. Or did you quickly realize that it was from the hot sauce? Thankfully, I did the math very fast. OK. You know? I did connect the dots pretty quickly. I did.
The first time that happened to me, I looked at him, I was like, uh-oh, shit. The mind wanders, yeah. Dude, is there something I, is something coming? Oh, no. Oh, it was a hell of a hit. Yeah, yeah. And then it doesn't hurt so much. You know, there's a certain comfort. Oh, I was happy it was a hell of a hit. Yeah. Coming out of a Polynesia here. The other G2. Like kawaii, starts off a little sweet. But they Trojan horse that spice in there, you know? Still hula hula hula. Okay, the mask there we go now we're in the mud What do they do? the all blacks too. The Hakkas. Yeah, yeah. About the Hakkas up in here.
Yeah, he's sneaking some of them. There you go. What's your philosophy on stacking a burger? You know, I know that you're passionate about the topic. You once said that the man who invented the hamburger is smart, but the man who invented the cheeseburger is a genius. I stand by that. It's true, isn't it? I mean, the one who invented the hamburger, he's a smart dude. It's a good combination. The one who put cheese on that's not gonna melt it? Sure. Yeah, spilled statues. So order is important. I do like to melt my cheese into the top bun. Also this, we've gotta stop with these extra pretzel yojo bagel, soft white Wonder Bread white soft buns. And also don't make them too big.
Make it small and have two if you want two. But not the big and soft white. And then I think key and prime is I like the ketchup to be the first thing to hit my palate. So I may put a little ketchup on the burger for moisture, but I'm going to religiously dip it to then bring it to my mouth for the sweetness of that ketchup. First thing, hit my palate, come in, and I always like cut it in half. Oh, because it's just got that wedge where you can get just over the side. But yeah. Yeah, cheeseburgers. I do like those. Oh, last meal. In jail, bye bye. You're going tomorrow? Yeah. Definitely cheeseburger. Yeah.
Be honest, jeez they're talking shit right out of the gate aren't they? Yeah, come on man. How could you ever. . . How could you ever. . . I mean, they can't be doing good business because. . . How many years is it gonna take to finish that? Yeah, but you know what? For better or worse, and unfortunately, we have to look at ourselves in the mirror on this show. Like, I do think that we have something to do with this brand and its everlasting. . . Boo! Come on, man. Place on the hot sauce shelf. I know. I know. What is the taste there besides an absolute bomb that goes off? Yeah, and I think that's what it is, and they describe it.
A lot of these other sauces, pickled garlic, sriracha, they kind of let you know. This one's telling you it's a bomb. That is a bomb. That bass is on. Yeah, we're on it. Nice catch, Dom. So, poems and prayers, you know, it grapples with a lot of heavy topics, you know, from love to. . . to God, to family, to purpose, but then there's also just a lot of cool little ditties in there, a lot of fun observations about life. So if you'll humor me, I had some follow-up questions about some of the lighter fare in the book and maybe you can help. Like deuces? Yeah, like deuces, which I love by the way, right? That's my favorite poem in the whole book. Awesome.
It's this ode to the porta potty. To a clean lid. Do you remember what you ate to put your prostate in a pinch? And then what were you doing 40 miles south of Petit at 6 o'clock in the morning? Running from the law. I was road tripping, pulling my Airstream. I lived in an Airstream for four years. And a lot of times I'd drive through the night because there wasn't as much traffic. Don't remember what I had. It was just last night catching up and ready to evacuate. And I pull over the spot and I'm going in thinking, oh man, it's too early, it's going to be trash from yesterday. The doggone janitor walked out as I walked in. I was like, great sign.
Yes! And I'm the first one in. That's poetry. That's poetry. It was, as you know. The smile, everyone knows the smile on your face when you exit that place to get back on the road. You're like, is there anything better than what just happened? Thank you. How do you see Candy Crush as a tool for learning financial responsibility? I think Candy Crush is a great game. As you see, I wrote a whole poem about it. Early on, when you're first playing. Remember, you could get like, bing, ding, ding, ding, ding, 60 coins in the jar. You get those out, whatever you want. Maybe I think they were even for free early. Yeah, you won them. You earned them.
Then all of a sudden, Cost under you can only get 30 and they're gonna charge you to get in there. Oh, I gotta pay now for what I used to get for free and you only give me half as much. Okay. At the beginning, remember it would give you suggestions for the next move. They were the best suggestions. It was always right. You dog, I should have listened to you. That was the best thing. And every time I did listen to you dogs on it, it was the move and I moved on to the next level and didn't have to spend or buy anything. Get up around 500 or so, it starts suggesting lies.
You start suggesting like that's the wrong, that's not only not the best move, that's the worst move I could make. So you trusted it. I'm kidding. I was giving you great advice. Now you got to measure it because you got successful. All of a sudden you're like okay, I gotta watch you. You're trying to get mine. Go ahead, learn my life. You give them one, they're gonna give you one back. But now you're in exchange rate. It starts getting a little off balance. They want maybe two to year one or three to year one. It starts lighting up when more friends ask. Anyway, there's a lot about life and finances in there. Now we're funkin' hot. Not a walk in the park.
No, no. You know, nothing fun about it. But after. . . It's another one of those, you don't want to lick the corners. Yeah, I know, I know. No, it's not the bomb, but that's a bitch over there running a 110 meter. It's a medalist in the 110 meter. Yeah, that's right. Right? Yeah. One thing I appreciate about you is your ability to apply meaning to almost anything, including a wet dream. You know, you talk about floating down the Amazon River. You're wrapped in pythons. You're being circled by crocodiles and freshwater sharks. And then that inspires this 20-day pilgrimage to Peru.
Now I once had a wet dream, right? Where I'm being chased by knights and archers through a castle, right? And I'm running and I'm escaping through corridors and I'm dodging arrows and then I get cornered. And in that moment, I pee my pants out of fear. But it turns out it was not really pee. What would you do with a sign like that? Like, do I need to get an atlas and go somewhere? I think you might need to get a membership. At medieval times. Sounds like you sleep pretty well over there. Congratulations, man. It's odd that it happened once. What would be weirder is if it happened again. Sir Lancelot or God or somebody's trying to tell you something.
Well, you know what? It's important that I listen. Alright, Matthew McConaughey. What do we got here? Like that ketchup we were talking about. Exactly. But this ain't ketchup. And with that. . . The wings of death are behind us and you know as we've established today you're like this modern day philosopher you know who can spin purpose out of life's highs and out of life's lows. For anyone going through hard times as we are now having choked down these 10 scorching hot chicken wings why do you think it's important to project forward no matter what you're going through no matter how bad things are that it'll all be a great story someday.
All I know is if you don't think you have the ability to live your life, that's one sure way to stay stuck where you are. And if you go, no, I do. Even if you've got to be bullshitting yourself a little bit, faking it till you make it, it's a way to get started. And what's the alternative? The alternative just sucks. It's a zero-sum game. That's where Just Keep Living's from. What else are we going to do, man? What else are we going to do? Poetry and look at you Matthew McConaughey taking on the wings of death living to tell the tale and now there's nothing left to do but roll out the red carpet for you.
This camera, this camera, this camera, let the people know what you have going on in your life. Got a movie coming out, Lost Bus. It's a good one. Real good one, honestly. And also just put a book out, Poems and Prayers. Talked about some of it here with Sean. Got three healthy kids so far, got teenagers in the house, you know how it is. Good part about that is you don't have to edit your good stories anymore. And I got a wife that looks forward to me coming home, which makes me real happy. Salute to y'all. All right. Awesome. Da bomb bro, that's the one. That is the one. Yeah. You did amazing. This is going to be so good.
