OMC: Do you ever run into Greg Kinnear (who hosted a show called Talk Soup in the 1990s, a predecessor of The Soup?) Do you think he's jealous of the wealth of reality shows you have compared to him?

JM: Well I ran into Greg Kinnear at the premier of one of his movies. That guy I'm sure is just thrilled to be off of basic cable and making massive and really good movies and getting Oscar nominations. Anybody who can do a Dick Vermeil impression, and make it awesome and real, oh my Lord!

OMC: What reality show celebrity should be most proud of their children?

JM: Well I'm sure Tyra Banks is already proud of her unborn children. She already has planned out their awesome, fierce careers.

OMC: "The Hills" is a very popular show. Do you have any ideas for a spin-off ?

JM: Uh, yeah, call it "The Sh*t." No! Call it "The Sewer." These people are some of the biggest celebrities in the world and they don't do anything. I mean Paris Hilton, she's famous for being a Hilton and for blowing a guy on tape. That's why she became famous. These people don't have any of those things! But God love them, and they make "The Soup."

OMC: Anything else you want to say about your act and what you talk about, maybe it's not all TV?

JM: I talk a lot about my family in it. Then I get into pop culture and "The Soup" and how I feel about things. That's basically how it goes. We're doing a show in Waukegan as well and I have a ton of relatives in the Chicago area. I think some of are going to make the trip to Milwaukee as well. So I'm sure I'll be talking about them.

OMC: Can you tell us about your movie with Matt Damon?

JM: It's based on a book called "The Informant" by a guy named Kurt Eichenwald. Now keep in mind it's a dark-comedy. It's directed by Steven Soderbergh. It's about a guy, an executive at Archer Daniels Midland Corporation. They're out of Decateur, Ill., where we shot the movie. This executive that Matt Damon plays, he went undercover for the FBI and secretly recorded these people who were breaking laws and price-fixing different agricultural products like lysine and corn syrup and stuff like that. Now that doesn't sound very hilarious.

But the character, Matt Damon's character, the real guy in the book was bipolar and manic depressive. He was truly nuts. He would wake up at like four in the morning start digging holes in his yard looking for tunnels. This guy was a powerful executive making a lot of money and some of the stuff he did was so crazy and it's all in the movie, it's such a crazy story.

It was just one of the greatest moments of my life. To be able to shoot a movie with Steven Soderbergh is just an absolute thrill.

OMC: And Matt Damon.

JM: There's a really good reason why he is an A-list movie star because he is an incredible actor, dramatic and comedic, and he is about of nice of a guy as you're ever going to encounter.

OMC: I wish you luck with the show and safe travel. Enjoy your time in the heartland!

JM: Thanks man, I can't wait to get out to the heartland and...hey here comes a high speed chase right by me!

OMC: Be careful!

JM: There were like literally (to someone in his car) what was that, like eight police cars there? Seven? A high speed chase went right by me.

OMC: What freeway are you on?

JM: We're on the 101 heading towards downtown, in between Hollywood and downtown.

OMC: Stay safe, Joel.

JM: Thanks man. I always carry my Glock with me.
