Hum4n_l3eing8 karma
Should we be prepared for some cameos?
Also, Rabbit is going to be in town soon, got anything embarrassing that I can mention to him just so he knows you're always watching?
RealHeffernanLemme13 karma
Tons of cameos. Paul Soter, Will Sasso, Martin Starr, Brian Quinn, Fernando Valenzuela.

Let's pretend I just got pulled over for checking this AMA on my phone and am about to get a ticket. What's your best advice on my best shot to get out of it?
RealHeffernanLemme14 karma
Send me your # and I'll text you a photo of me and Kevin flipping the bird to the cops!
NaziGazpacho5 karma
What was it like working with the late great Michael Clarke Duncan? I loved him as The Champ!
RealHeffernanLemme5 karma
MCD was phenomenal. He was larger than life and improv'd everything. I think Cleon Slmon is his best role.
NaziGazpacho2 karma
It's amazing that he improved everything!
You guys do an exceptional job with fan engagement. I really look forward to checking out the new show
MURKA425 karma
Have you been given any credit for Reno 911 successfully riding your coattails?
RealHeffernanLemme34 karma
Not really but we didn't sy thanks to the Police Academy guys for letting us ride theirs either.
cwilkins24425 karma
First off, let me say I think you guys are hilarious. Thanks for all the effort you put into your work. Heffernan your character in Beerfest was too damn funny. Lemme you killed it in Slammin' Salmon. Question for you both is any particular reason you chose Tacoma? Also, would you wouldn't mind sharing a funny off camera story? I could use a good laugh today.
Keep up the great work & make weedfest (the movie not a Friday night) a reality already...
RealHeffernanLemme4 karma
I'm trying to type really fast (this is Steve) - Kevin was just okay in Beerfest. I did kill it in Slammin Salmon (and all the others)
We loved the idea of a show in the rainiest city in the country and we were in Tacoma when we had the idea for the fire man show. So...
discopunko4 karma
You guys are awesome! Hope you guys keep making movies too! Any plans for a sequel to Beerfest?

Meow did you meow actually meow have to meow film in Meow Tacoma?
RealHeffernanLemme7 karma
No. We filmed in LA so Lemme could sleep in his own bed. He is very particular about his pillows.
brownsfan7603 karma
I noticed in your movies you guys switch around who the good and bad guys are played by. Which do you prefer to play?
RiD0gG3 karma
Huge broken lizard fan, all the way back to Puddle Cruiser. I can't wait for the show and will be watching.
That said, did you like the way Tru TV handled promotion during the first days of March madness?
Love you guys, but the impractical joker clowns aren't a train I'd hitch my comedy car to.
RealHeffernanLemme5 karma
Shhh, don't let them know that. They'll prank the shit out of us.
DarthVenti3 karma
Are mustaches a requirement to play a cop or fireman? Also will your next roll be 70s porn star so you don’t have to shave?
RealHeffernanLemme6 karma
Absolutely. You must have a mustache. We're going to do Bohemian Rhapsody 2. We're both playing Freddie Mercury.
Superwilson453 karma
What was your favorite scene to film in Super Troopers? And any on set funny moments we didn't see?
creedthoughtss3 karma
What was your favorite scene to film in ST1?
If you have time for a second, any advice for struggling aspiring actor in LA?
RealHeffernanLemme3 karma
Bulletproof jockstrap. It was on the shooting range of the Fishkill Max Security Prison. The prisoners were yelling all kinds of obscenities at me.
Advice: stick with it and keep improving. Also, don't expect to be discovered. Make gigs for yourself.
Kfraser522 karma
Who has been the funniest/most fun person you have both worked with that isn’t in your usual crew?
Groovicity2 karma
Will there be a new form of "chugging"? Like with chili or something instead of syrup?
RealHeffernanLemme5 karma
Yeah you have to stick a firehouse down your throat, turn it on and see how long you last.
missemilyrose3302 karma
Love you guys!! How often do you get recognized on a daily basis meow? Do people often throw out quotes from the movie in ordinary life meow?
RealHeffernanLemme5 karma
Only when we're together and only when we have mustaches. We always say quotes to each other.
footd1 karma
Loved the new special and I’m pumped for Tacoma FD.
When will y’all be able to record some more of the podcast?
mechanimals851 karma
Are you coming back to MI for stand up? Was excited to see you at the Crofoot but you had to cancel and I miss your faces
DarthAK471 karma
So when are we gonna see some metal jocks and powdered sugar hazing again?!
"Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?"
DodgerKerfuffle1 karma
Hey guys! Loved Super Troopers 1 & 2! What were your favorite scenes to film in those movies? Are there any scenes that were tough to get through because they were so funny? Thanks!
deusahominis1 karma
Just had some beers with Nat at my brewery, just wondering when you guys are coming in for some?!
WjtlW1 karma
Hey guys, good luck with your new show.
Kevin, how long did it take you to forgive steve for stealing your jacket back in college?
PurposelyIrrelephant13 karma
Beerfest and Super troopers are two of my all time favorite stoner comedies. I now have an adverse fear of ping pong paddles. Came to ask if any of you were ever actually sober during the filming for Beerfest?
Also, RIP in yeast Landfill
