Transcript

0:00 God, I didn't realize how good your hair is. Hello, Tom. We're movie guys. that's right now it's the one and nobody knew about it it was amazing. They, they, we were in town trying to get a career going, you know, trying to trying I said, tell them we'll write it if I can direct it. What's it about? It's funny. There it is. And the studio got really excited, and I thought, oh, my God, I'm going to have a huge career.

2:52 Well, and he was asking for a lot of money, a lot more than Bert is. It is. Six, three, and a year and a half. get a career together. just adopt a five-year-old? It'll be like, I got started five years ago and I'm like, I'm right Now I've got three kids and a movie. I mean, I know that there were issues with drugs, and I think there was some kind of a fire at some point.

5:38 And then when it came online and we became a family, it really became the best thing that ever happened to me. general audience to get their their interest in it that way because it'll feel less scary because It made a giant impact on pool halls from that one Tom Cruise movie. but you're like those are nameless Well, even, like, dudes on the crew, that somebody would come up, you know,

7:52 Someone hit me up yesterday. It is exactly like that, though. But no, I mean, there's that, what you were just getting at as far as, believe me, I'm Oh, you're starring in it? Well, the movie's only probably like 90 minutes. You didn't make the poster. Oh, really? I didn't know that either. You learned something today. let's give you some advice on media yeah well first of all I'm terrible at it so there's that

10:48 right i don't need i don't need to do that to kind of just pump up the ego of the director that where i was just like oh they don't care they don't give it so that's that's fine with me i'm and they're looking around we got time till fucking whatever. Seth Rogen gets off the plane. So let me ask you something one thing and they're like, they're obviously not there for me, but they're like, they're like, we got time till fucking whatever Seth Rogen gets off

12:16 I was flying into LAX and I was getting off a red eye and I was so just tired. it was right after, it was shortly after Daddy's Home Looking for a soundbite slip or something. It's nuts. He's going to ask you wacky questions. And it became a big news thing. We're out in front of where Joe Rogan does his podcast, and they thought for some reason just because they're there, people have to talk to them.

14:25 like the camera's on, I've got the microphone. Well, but, and also if you're, I mean, Because somebody puts a camera in your face. I don't have time for that. in a weird spot it's like all of a sudden you're in you're you're on your on your heels yeah because I was just, I was coming home from the airport. He's threatening POTUS. And they make it sound like somebody called a press conference to say something ridiculous.

17:01 Yeah, it's super bizarre. I did like 90, 95. disingenuous guy. And then you want to get out I did who's interviewing me doing this mock interview and then I've got the publicist and I got this guy sitting across from me who's interviewing Yeah, they were. I mean, what is there to teach you? And people are like, really nice guy. And the funny thing is every rule that he's saying, as he's saying it, I'm going, oh, yeah, I do that.

20:03 Really? Yeah. and I didn't even think about my answer because I don't, you know, that's a sneaky way of asking it's a sneaky way to get you too yeah did you know yeah yeah did So did you bring up that instance when you went through the training? Oh yeah. before the show? Well, you guys will probably all know That lady was like, your films are disgusting and violent.

22:24 So this is a different one then. Yeah. I don't know if they showed you that one. This has nothing to do with that. I'm not here for that. well it's like don't take the bait and and more than anything for me because i look i'm from looking and it just he just painted me But I remember reading that and being like, oh, fuck this guy. And be careful when you talk to these people because he totally – he knows what I was trying to say.

25:50 profitable, especially if it's an online And I got to say, I mean, look, I did, like I said, I did 90, 95 interviews in the course And then they catch you not looking because you're not looking for that guy. You got all this money. It's true. like, fuck these things. it's really scary because you think about your kids and you think you know it's so it's a it's

28:37 let me look at the ingredients yeah open it up oh it's so sweet yeah you click on it you're like just the headline. what, I'm very fascinated. Because it's a place where people just talk and have a conversation. No. like in this time we're developing more of an audience that is quick to call that shit out Some of it is so egregious. The podcast, this medium is just going to grow.

31:45 And then somebody's like, he touched a boob. background in finance so he put a year betting on things falling apart Fucking amazing. You know what I mean? How many of those real journalists are left? 50 times more people are paying attention to that. You can't read like 10 New York Times articles and they cut you off. Apple one click or some shit I don't know it It's kind of annoying.

35:28 Really? It was impressive. Well, when somebody does it like that guy did about, like, the subprime mortgage, I remember reading it and not being able to stop reading it, What is that? women who were like divorcees who had some money he was posturing as a doctor and like would And then now it's coming out as like a short series. Where's part, like you're scrambling to read the next part.

37:42 And I recommend reading it, man. Spoiler alert. There's a bunch of articles about how big it got released and podcasts in L times there's all sorts of stories about it yeah well there's still i mean but I feel like there's a lot of great stuff out there. I never watched that show before. We were both keeping it together. And my oldest daughter went over and hugged her.

40:05 But what were we just talking about? Have you seen what I saw when Aretha died? You ain't got the money? And all the girls in the audience are going, mm, mm, mm, mm. Look how long Jerry Springer stayed on the air Jerry Springer's a smart guy Of Cincinnati That's how he got caught. That's pretty crazy, man. Looks like he's like 40 years old back then.

42:37 And it's been great. and they're like, yeah, yeah, it's going to be awesome. Had a dog. I've heard that a lot. For how long? Yeah, that's Not every county has them, but L.A. County has them where you – where they'll bring a bunch of kids that are in the system and a bunch of prospective parents, and they'll just have, like, games and stuff going on.

44:44 And then the teenagers are all off to the side because everybody's afraid of them. knowing they were going to match us with them because no one else was going to put them down. So we're, you know, kind of wrapping our heads around this over the next couple weeks. And I was like, I was, you know, when you hear, it's so – just the same reaction you guys just had.

46:37 there's these other three kids we were like oh oh all right and you you want there to be or i and sister. So when the, when the time came that we were going to make a movie about it, I really, and now I'm yammering but how old are they now how many years have you had Yeah. into the system and that that kind of thing so i wasn't able to go because i was i was i was at a

49:14 They didn't sound cute by the inflection in their voice, sorry i'm getting ahead of myself so so when you so we have the meeting and we go okay we're gonna getting there because i wanted so much to walk in see these kids well up with tears know it's for Don't do that. And you're just kind of like getting to know these kids that are strangers. That is true.

52:14 She's amazing. Yeah, you want a fresh start. Yeah. This thing that we all take for granted. I know you guys are, but I'm so not. Tom is. I sucked at sports, and I so wanted to be good at sports. And he's really I had no idea how many people get knocked the I mean, whoa, shit. Racing? And, you know, what they're getting in lacrosse and These are kids.

56:07 this shit is nuts. I love when they interview all the guys in the NFL. still you know there's no shortage of guys who are like, Yeah. blowing smoke out, like, yeah, one day decisions anyway you know so even if you know even if they could have the foresight they probably And I always was like, man. so it starts to be you might have like a stud on a team in middle school and still a bunch of guys that won't play in high school.

59:31 And then something will stand out. where you're like, I didn't feel like that was, you know, do I have damage? And the significant CTE just really ravaged. 211 of whom were diagnosed with CTE after death. They're all athletes. Yeah. Right. and you're like, Oh yeah. It's funny because Jesus Christ. crazy fucking sport. Boom. These are strikes strikes this is like me kicking

1:03:36 you don't realize how bad you're getting fucked up from that. It's like, it's awful. I've probably seen more people get the fuck beaten out of them. Hundreds. It's that when you can avoid that, avoid it. It's cute. What about tennis, man? Like this is, you know, there's a good friend of mine, Dr. Mark Gordon, who specializes in CTE. Girls' soccer. is high school cheerleading.

1:06:43 break dances. But he's pretty big. Whoa. We'll need a disc replacement within the next month. I have not been hitting my head at all. for the way that I've been conducting myself. the rules like i think we're operating on ancient information that's's what I think. I think most of these systems that they're setting up, most of these sports rules and

1:08:46 Yay. going to go to school and they can't count. I mean, It's just part of the program. It's your brain. young and they're talking and then it shows them like at the end of their Right. Mm-hmm. you know, two minutes with this, and then boom, fresh body. Your mama. Well, especially towards the end of his career. Right away? punches him in the head a bunch of times and then strangles him and you know randy was just

1:13:00 He's just trying to force him to give something up. This is good. Like, you see, even what, I mean, you guys are kind of, like, I'm having that feeling Yeah. Oh, that's not tall. As long as you don't hit a bit of pitch, you get hit with a pitch. What do you mean allowed? Yeah, how did he get in this? and then when it came back around i don't even know if you know this that i passed on the audition i do yeah okay i tell you that

1:15:48 And it has like all the, you know, Mark Wahlberg's agreed to play this and Rose Byrne is attached to play this. And I were like, And then I get a call right away and it's my agent. is there a reason did the uh I go, so it's not personal. They're like, yeah. Because now the audition's in 24 hours. And I was like, great. Show up. Well, they always do that.

1:19:03 That's the problem, right? Oh, so this is a different agency for your stand-up as well? Oh, yeah, let me call these acting you should make this movie that yet I'm in but he can kind of say these jackassy things but just sort of own them and i'm like this this guy's How do you feel about this, that you weren't good? really know what they want when you're going in I did not know that it sucked

1:22:07 I just said that, okay. exactly how I auditioned. The second audition, you did just like the movie. because I really wanted him to be in the movie. But can I tell you, I got to go back. I'm serious. So we made some adjustments to the dialogue and everything, which made it more conducive to your just style of speaking. And he was really funny. Yeah.

1:24:50 the directors like do you want to come work on it so that like possibly you can She's amazing. So every time... Maura Tierney is definitely one of the best actors I ever worked with. Yeah. Right. That went away. Yeah, it's Latino and Latina are male and female gender specific right so for some of us, like myself. a little bit in the movie of there is that feeling you know when when we went in to adopt our kids we

1:28:32 Then you have the you know, you start to kind of think about like, oh, well, you know, is that is that OK? even be, you know, why would that, the, the Latinx thing have anything to do with my house? handle yeah this new this culture without cultural appropriation how do i how do i bring my kid and I don't know. I think it's great. it stands out more because my whole life I've said Latino,

1:31:03 do that yeah yeah it's like someone who you know that could do backflips. Because you look so American. Like, you know. and he said somewhere in china and she starts speaking mandarin and he dropped the thing and And I was like, I have a pretty good idea. some people just can't handle it like boot camp and i forget how how long she was in and you know

1:33:39 but she was like, you can do something like, oh, across the entire planet. I'm like, compare that to like German or Dutch. to listen to. I mean, I like listening, I don't speak I do that too. I sent you one of them that the trailers for the movie get... No, what I speak predominantly is just like you can listen to someone Wow. And then it all kind of came over here and its influence.

1:37:20 So if you're like, you know, quiero coger esta agua. Because she was basically in slang saying, fuck my you know so it's just but like there's like and there's also like severity of words like joder And then like six months later, they were like, you actually do curse a lot all the time. have done a full show in Spanish here in L.A. Spanish, and he would just jump through the ceiling.

1:39:39 and to get through the set, Experienced a 20-minute set like that that guy, the headliner after me did 35 minutes people. Yeah. club to work. They're reopening It's so different than any other place. going outside to use their phone and then coming back in. It's a fucking nightmare, man. They're like, I'm doing what with my phone? Yeah. They're watching a show like this.

1:43:02 It wasn't about the moment. Yeah, but not all night. Well, the thing that made me think of it, though, is that I was more comfortable when I had the phone on. Awkward white guy dancing. Tell you what, though, man. And we tell her, hey, we're going to go to a toy store. we were starting to get there earlier in our conversation but there's an interesting thing

1:45:47 And when we were just, things were really starting to come together before this trip. videos, like you're saying are just like gold, you know, there's, it's so amazing to see this we had that period where we were like, you really feel like for a while there, like, okay, we've, around the time where the kids are normally up. And I woke up and I thought, Oh wow, it's quiet

1:48:20 this young girl named marie green who became a consultant on the movie because she grew up in these real kids that I've met along the way. So it's pretty great. And he's like, no. Christina's crying in parts of the movie. I mean, everybody who's seen it It is really fun to watch with an audience because they do get emotionally caught And it's just, you know, when this happens, you know, and you become part of that adoption community as well.

1:51:33 nowhere, making this movie with all this budget. And it was great, but I've had great experiences Yeah, he's a funny guy. one of those morning shows. you know, sometimes you know you you hear these stories a lot of stories steven seagal yeah oh dude but just You guys are so like, you guys are low maintenance types, youance types, you know? Like, you're, like, the type of people, like, it feels.

1:53:47 I'm like, where do I park? He was just like, yeah, it it's fine just call me if you need thanks for doing this thanks for making the movie And I got that video. when I got a hold of that Thanks.
