One of the first things Dax Shepard and Justin Timberlake discussed on the podcast was when they met doing Punk'd. Timberlake told Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast, "I was so stoned, SO stoned that I swore off any type of cannabis for at least a year. MTV edited out a lot because at one point I sat down on my porch and looked at [my friend] and I was like, 'I'm so high man. Is this real? Is this really happening? I am so high.'"
He added that he was most worried about his mom's dogs, which Shepard's team suggested would also have to be taken away with his other belongings. "When the dogs got involved, that's when all bets were off. I just sat down on the stoop and I had this thought, 'What if my mom never sees her dogs again? Will she ever forgive me? My mom will never forgive me."
It was quite perfect. Shepard told Timberlake that there were other directions he and Ashton Kutcher wanted to go with, but MTV wasn't going to let them take down their golden boy. "The whole network was there, because MTV knew their relationship with you was very valuable ... I was in your garage for an hour and a half being told everything I could and could not say," Shepard said.
Luckily, it all worked out for the best!
