Episode 14
Seth Green
Seth has been working in Hollywood for a long time. He has been Patrick Dempsey's little brother in Can't Buy Me Love and he played the loveable Kenny Fisher in Can't Hardly Wait. Is there any part this guy "can't" play? (oh, see what I did there.) Seth is now the uber successful creator/actor/producer behind projects like Robot Chicken and Changeland. Get at it Seth!
What's this all about?
This episode is a pleasant walk down memory lane with two old friends. You can hear the admiration and love Dax has for Seth , and it really shines in this episode. There certainly is room for a sequel to this one and we hope that it does eventually come to be. Sit back and relax as you hear two guys tell their adventure about making a movie together. It may not be Diner, but it still tugs at our heart strings nevertheless. You can listen to it here.
What did they say?
- @2:52 “You Punk’d me!” Seth tells the story about how his Punk’d episode was set-up. Dax says he was the hardest mark they had dealt with up to that point.
- @16:33 “I had never acted in a movie, ever.” Dax and Seth talk about how the screen test went for Dax in order to get his role in Without a Paddle. Seth flexes his improv muscles in order to help Dax through the screen test.
- @26:59 “We’re making Diner in the woods.” Dax and Seth discuss how they both were comparing their work on Without a Paddle with movies like Diner and The Big Chill. Instead they felt it was a movie for 12 year olds after seeing the final cut.
- @31:25 “They’re feeding him a huge saucepan of coffee.” Dax talks about Bart the Bear, and why having a 10 foot bear hopped up on caffeine and sugar was an interesting choice.
- @37:25 “We’re gonna have a relapse tonight!” Dax and Seth get stuck in Toronto during the Without a Paddle Press Tour. Dax gets tempted by his room’s bar and has a relapse. It involves ecstasy, alcohol and some Ambien.

- @1:07:12 “It was me counting down to him getting hit in the face with your dick.” Seth thoroughly enjoyed the moment in CHiPs when Michael Pena gets a face full of Dax’s man muscle.
- @1:14:48 “Wait, Cha-Ching!“ Monica reminds Dax that he forgot to talk about Seth’s big ad campaign for Rally’s/Checkers where his catchphrase was “Cha-Ching! “. It involves Seth filming employee orientation videos for Rally’s and going to their flagship stores. It finally ends with a New Orleans Saints playoff game at the Superdome and bumping Richard Simmons from his suite. Cha-Ching!
