Could you each talk about your own school days? Vaughn: I went to a university called life, and our school colors were black and blue. No, I'm kidding. I didn't go to college. I went to a junior college in Illinois for two weeks and I dropped out and moved to Los Angeles. When I got to L.A., I signed up for Santa Monica junior college, and I was there for two weeks. I had an agent and I had an audition for Who's the Boss -- like five lines. I didn't get it at all. It was one of those, "Well, great, thanks for coming in!" I didn't get the part, but I went to the audition instead of going to a quiz and I never went back to a college of any kind after that. I think now that I'm older, I would probably appreciate college more, more of an attention for stuff, more curious to learn things and take classes. Wilson: I went to three different colleges and never really got into the swing of things at college. I went to a high school that I liked a lot, kind of small classes and really good teachers. I had fun playing sports and stuff. When I went to college I got a little aimless. Every generation has a movie like this, that's been a classic to them. Can you name one for you? Vaughn: Why yes, a little movie called Swingers years back... Wilson: Stripes. Vaughn: Animal House. Part of the fun too I think, when you're younger, and it's that age when you're seeing an R film for the first time, and you're really not supposed to be there, nothing replaces that feeling. I remember sneaking into Risky Business and that movie blowing my mind, hoping we didn't caught before it started...When you're young and you're not legally supposed to be there, it's just awesome. Wilson: When I went to see Smokey and the Bandit, I didn't know Burt Reynolds was an actor, he was just a guy that looked like he was having a good time. As a kid, I think you really respond to that. How would you explain the fraternity amongst guys? Going out, getting drunk, all of that. Wilson: We'll do that with women too. Having had a taste of it, would you join a fraternity now? Vaughn: No, I would never have done it. But that's just my personal thing. I don't like being around a large group of people, living with them, rules, it's not my bag. But it's hard to judge all fraternities on one thing. I've traveled places in the country and a fraternity in one location could be completely different...By the time I would've been of college age, I had done all the things that the kids were going crazy about. Even those Girls Gone Wild tapes, they go, "Boy, these girls have gone wild. They're wild!" And they're just lifting up their shirts. I'm like, "That's not really that wild." If they lift up their shirts and start to smash a room up and throw things off a building, I'd be like, "Those girls have gone wild." Wilson: Where I come from, Texas, those big colleges are heavy duty. I would never get involved in anything like that. Not that they're bad people, it just seems a little intense. The people in Old School... Vaughn: We kidnapped people. Wilson: Most of these guys are trying to get away from something. Some of them aren't even in college. But I think both of us personally were never kind of drawn to it. Vaughn: Will was actually in a fraternity at USC, he loved it. And he's a great guy, the Big Cat. Wilson: Wish he were here today, but kind of a sore subject. Vaughn: We don't want to get into it. He went to the dentist and they gave him some painkillers and that was six months ago...I'm kidding, I'm joking! Is there anything he won't do for a laugh? Wilson: He won't do his Bush impersonation anymore. No more Bush. And people yell it at him, and he hates it. "Hey, do your Bush!" The only time you ever see Will seethe. Vaughn: The Big Cat, the hairs go up on the cat. Wilson: And you hear this low growl. What was used for the K-Y Jelly wrestling scene? Wilson: It wasn't actually K-Y, it was some kind of bi-product...They put it in McDonald's milkshakes to give it consistency. And you actually rolled around it? Wilson: Yes, I did. Still feeling it. Vaughn: He had a team of handlers that helped him out Wilson: I did! I had quite a few people getting the stuff off of me at the end of the day. I had to take a couple of long showers that day. Ever going to have a McDonald's milkshake again? Wilson: No, I won't. Vaughn: I will, see, I don't even know any better. It tastes good, what do I know? Do you indulge in anything now that you couldn't before? Vaughn: I've never been a big guy with spending. The one thing I do do a lot of is video games, sadly. I'm a pathetic, sad man in that, but I can sit and play video games for hours. The frightening part is you play the game for like two weeks and at the end of the game I can get a trophy or a girl or you save the world, but nothing really happens but you get a screen that means that. Your real life, it goes to hell, you haven't returned any calls, you haven't talked to anybody, but in the game, I'm the king of the universe. That's the one thing I sort of have the free time to do a lot of. Vince, what are you playing now? Vaughn: I'm playing Madden 2003 still because I like that you can have a franchise, and you can actually have a team that you like, and you can trade for players, you got a salary cap, all kinds of great, exciting times like that. Very powerful stuff. Wilson: Madden 2003 is old already? Vaughn: Yes. Got to wait for the new one for next year. But I make trades, I make it happen, pal. Any chance that the post-college fraternity might catch on? Vaughn: I think it has. Wilson: The Masons, aren't they kind of like a fraternity? Vaughn: The Scientologists. Wilson: Well, they'll make your life better. Was Snoop Dogg always the musical act? Vaughn: That got kicked around. It was him and someone else. Wilson: They were gonna have him and Bob Dylan at one point. And we were like, how is that gonna happen? And it didn't. Didn't you work with Dylan recently? Wilson: I did a movie with him this summer called Masked and Anonymous that he wrote with this guy Larry Charles, one of the Seinfeld writers. It was really interesting...I don't think there's anyone out there like him, and there won't be anyone like him again. He's like Sinatra, or Willie Nelson, where they're one of a kind like Elvis... Vaughn: Burt Bacharach...Not a great comparison, but I tried to make your point for you.
