We all remember Joaquin Phoenix’s hilariously odd interview on David Letterman a few months ago.

Well folks, this might top it.

Actor/musician Billy Bob Thornton was a guest, along side his band The Boxmasters, on a CBC Radio show hosted by Jian Ghomeshi. The interview was to promote their tour. But things got odd when Thornton could barely answer the host’s simple questions.

Exhibit A:

Q: Billy Bob, you guys formed only in the last couple of years, right?

A: I don’t know what you are talking about.

Q: How so?

A: I don’t know what you mean by that.

Q: When did the band form?

A: I’m not sure what that means.

When asked about Willie Nelson, who is also touring with the band, he responds…

Q: What do you learn from Willie Nelson, Billy Bob?

A: I’ve never met him.

Q: (Laughs) Are you being ironic, or are you being serious?

A: I don’t really know him …

Q: You guys don’t really hang out on tour?

A Um …

Q: You don’t know what I mean? Why do I get the impression you are going to answer with you don’t know what I mean if I ask you things.

Q: Did Willie choose you guys to go on tour?

A: Shit, I don’t know.

Was he being funny? Was he drunk? High? Maybe missing Angelina Jolie? Only Billy knows. Nonetheless, it makes for a great watch.

“Do what they teach you in the Academy, you will die.”

That’s one of the brutally honest lessons given to rookie-cop Ben Sherman who’s starting out with the LAPD.

Tonight NBC premieres Southland, a police drama that takes an in-depth look at the lives of LAPD officers on the streets, and at home.

The cast features Benjamin McKenzie (The O.C.) as the rookie-cop Ben Sharman, Michael Cudlitz (Lost, Standoff) as veteran officer John Cooper, and Regina King (Down To Earth, Ray) as Detective Lydia Adams.

The show is also from the same producers as E.R.

If you were a fan of Training Day, I have a feeling this will be right down your alley. We get a look at the first day on the job of Officer Sherman, who quickly learns that what he learns in the Academy is nothing like the streets of L.A.

Here’s a preview for Southland. You can catch it tonight on NBC or CTV.
