00:00 - I loved your Andre the Giant doc on HBO.
00:03 I thought it was phenomenal.
00:04 - Thank you.
00:05 That was Jason, he did The Last Dance.
00:09 - There you go, there you go.
00:10 And I know you were supposed to do one on Vince McMahon.
00:13 - Yeah.
00:14 - And for like the couple of weeks I know his interview,
00:16 I'm like, I gotta ask about the Vince, I've gotta,
00:18 and then this morning I actually saw a clip
00:19 where you talked about it.
00:21 So the Vince McMahon doc--
00:22 - Yeah, that was like five days ago.
00:23 - Is happening, it is happening.
00:26 - Oh yeah, it's awesome.
00:28 Do we know when or any ETA?
00:30 - I think it's gonna be the first part of next year.
00:32 And Chris Smith is directing it,
00:35 who's, I don't know if he's one of the five
00:39 best documentary directors or one of the best three
00:41 or whatever short list that's on, he's on it.
00:44 And we spent a lot of time on it
00:46 and I don't wanna say too much, but--
00:49 - Did you have access to Vince?
00:52 - Yes, yeah.
00:55 And we had access--
00:56 - 'Cause that's rare, that's rare.
00:58 - Well, that was the initial conceit of it.
01:00 So I don't wanna say too much, but I will say that
01:02 I think it has a chance to be pretty spectacular.
01:07 - Can you tell me, is it gonna be like one, two hour thing?
01:10 Is it gonna be a series of like five one hour episodes?
01:13 Do you know how long it's gonna be?
01:15 'Cause Vince, you could probably do 20 hours.
01:18 - Yeah, it's a few parts.
