00:00:00
I had a date. I'm not going to say who it was with, but I had my first date and
00:00:03
>> Madonna, >> you know, and I said, "Jimmy, what do I do?" I was
00:00:09
really excited about this date and I didn't want and I I just wanted to impress her and I didn't want to screw
00:00:13
it up. And he and I said, "What do I do? You know, we're going out." He says,
00:00:17
"Well, first of all, take her to VBR and jerk off before you go on the date so
00:00:22
you don't have any." >> Yeah. He told me he told me to >> I have heard this theory. He would find
00:00:28
any excuse if if the scene had any sort of physicality, he'd find a reason to
00:00:34
pull a pencil out of his little thing and I'm going to stick it in your neck.
00:00:37
It was like, well, that's not scripted, but seems a little over the top >> in the show. That's funny, but you're on
00:00:43
a horse galloping and you're this huge truck and I don't know. It just seems
00:00:48
fun to me. I never I'll never be offered that role, you know? It's like >> And I never get to be the church lady.
00:00:54
God damn it. Yeah, >> I want to be the church lady. >> Dana Josh Du Hamill. I think that's the
00:01:04
pronunciation. >> I hope you're correct. >> That's pretty. That's what I say.
00:01:08
>> I think that's it. >> I've known him briefly over the years.
00:01:12
Always a gentleman. >> Always a cool guy. Sense of humor. I knew he was going to be

00:02:00
Octopolis. Whatever his name is. >> Hey, look at this can opener. Oh no, it's a monster.

Somewhere between St. Louis Bispo and Santa Barbara. >> Nice. Beautiful up there. Thanks. But
00:03:17
don't you go to North Dakota or do you live there mostly? >> Yeah, we live we live in North Dakota in
00:03:23
Fargo and we got a cabin about an hour and a half into Minnesota from there up in the woods.
00:03:29
>> Wow. I you know the cabin on a lake I cuz I I read about you a couple days is
00:03:36
magic. >> Oh yeah, we've been cramming. >> I'm from Montana. There's not a
00:03:40
competition, you know, >> but we we we can kick ass if we want to. But I actually played Minet, North

00:04:06
>> You know that's >> Jesus Dana check. What was your height and weight
00:04:14
as a senior in high school? Were you an early mature like or did you grow later?
00:04:19
>> I was pretty tall but very skinny. >> I remember I wanted to get to 200 lb and
00:04:24
I and I put these and we used to wear these these like stretchy pants underneath our football pants and they
00:04:29
had little pockets in them for for pads. >> Sure. >> And I would slip little 2 and a half
00:04:34
pound weights in the hip pockets so that I could wet I never quite and I got to 199 that was that was the most I ever
00:04:40
weighed in. So the little weights in the stretchy pants built up your legs and created
00:04:44
>> No, no, no. They just made me look heavier. They made me So weighed in.
00:04:48
>> Yeah. >> No, just just just when we weighed in. I didn't I didn't play with those weights
00:04:51
in. >> Oh, for the weigh in. You hacked it with these little weights. Everyone goes,
00:04:56
"Man, >> the first time I've ever admitted that to anybody."
00:04:59
>> Yeah. >> Um we're not going to report it. Uh but I think that's pretty clever.
00:05:05
>> I put a kettle bell in my underpants sometimes when I go to clubs. You You
00:05:10
put a what in there? >> A kettle bell. >> A really tiny kettle bell. Yeah, just
00:05:16
for extra extra. >> It's all right. It was true confessions. >> I tell everyone that though.
00:05:23
>> Ah, I was 91 lbs. 5 feet tall when I entered >> when I entered high school.
00:05:31
>> Jeez, >> I got my ass kicked a lot. >> They let you in with those measurements.
00:05:35
>> Look, I played D basketball in those days. There is varsity, junior varsity,
00:05:41
C basketball, D basketball. And this is not a joke. I've said it before, but our
00:05:45
center, the man who controlled the paint was 54. I'm not kidding. >> He controlled the game video.
00:05:54
>> Yeah. >> Isn't he video of this? This is something I'd like to see.
00:05:59
>> It was a long way up. When you're 5t tall and you're shooting a free throw.
00:06:03
>> Listen, we'll get to Josh. I was 57 with full pads. >> Uh I weighed 114 with full pads 134 and
00:06:12
I went out for football and I got smeared like Lucas. I The coach said, "Hey, let me let me talk to you." And he
00:06:19
took me to the sideline. Let me talk to you. Took me to the parking lot and he's
00:06:22
like, "All right, get in your get out of here. You cannot be." He said, "I'm
00:06:25
saving your life." >> I know the real story. He said, "Get the [ __ ] out of here." Remember he slapped
00:06:29
your face? >> Yeah. >> We don't want to go there. >> Oh, >> I went out for that was okay. You could
00:06:35
actually do it back then. >> Yeah. Coaches were supposed to rough you up. It's like
00:06:39
>> I don't know what happened. >> We were definitely Our coach would take
00:06:42
you out behind the woodshed and he would threaten to take you behind the woodshed. You never knew what happened
00:06:46
behind the woodshed, but he would say, "I will I [ __ ] you not. I will take you
00:06:50
behind the woodshed." >> Oh, wait. He would take you behind the woodshed and then say he'll take you
00:06:54
behind the woodshed. You're like, "We're already here. What do you mean?"
00:06:56
>> I don't know. No one wants to be taken behind a woodshed. I don't think John
00:07:01
>> I'd be more worried about sexual things happening. worried or kind of
00:07:05
interested. >> Just wondering what what what >> All right, Josh is our guest.
00:07:11
>> No, no, go on. >> No, Josh. Sorry, Josh. You're going to talk toward the end.
00:07:16
>> We're fascinated. Have you ever run across John Corbett? >> Yes, I worked with John Corbett.
00:07:22
>> I figured that guy's worked with everybody and I figured you two. Which
00:07:26
one were you in? >> I worked on a movie called Ramona and Bezes with him. Mhm.
00:07:32
>> Uh, >> let's look at a clip. >> Yeah. Selena Selena Selena Gomez was in the movie.
00:07:38
>> Selena, right? Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Bases Ramon and Bezes. I don't know if you
00:07:44
remember those. >> I think they paid her in followers. >> Yeah. >> John Corbett. John Corbett. Quick quick
00:07:49

00:07:54
>> He know he knows everyone. I got a buddy. I mean, he knows everybody. the
00:07:58
guy. He's he's a he's a friend. He's he's fun, you know. I'm sure you guys
00:08:02
>> He lives up, doesn't he? Live up there in that area. >> Yeah. Yeah. He's very cool.
00:08:08
>> Um, what's the movie where you win a date with Tad Hamilton? >> So, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton was my
00:08:15
very first break into this industry back in >> a big break, wasn't it?
00:08:21
>> Two, I think it was 2001 or two. Yeah, it was uh that was my that was my
00:08:28
first, you know, real job in this business. I did all my children. I guess that was a real job too. Three years
00:08:34
before that, but you know, um so I got Las Vegas and then I got Winter Date with Tad Hamilton right around the same
00:08:42
time. So I thought I was just >> take off, which never really happened, but it was it was a it was an
00:08:47
interesting moment. >> Your resume is pretty stout, Josh. You were a movie star and you go to a
00:08:52
small town and you you someone wins a day with you and is it Kate Bosworth? Who was it?
00:08:57
>> It was Kate Bosworth. >> Okay. >> And she was dating to for Grace
00:09:01
>> at the Pigley Wiggly. >> They worked at the Piglet Wiggly and I and I strolled into town like a big shot
00:09:07
>> and tried to steal his girl. Didn't work out in the end for me, but you know,
00:09:11
>> it couldn't in the movies. It couldn't. She had to run back to the Bag Boy.
00:09:18
>> Yeah. Damn. Damn. >> I like that. I saw that movie. I like it. I like that. And Vegas with Molly
00:09:23
Sims. Vegas was on for a long time. >> Wasn't James Con on that. >> Or was it Jimmy?
00:09:28
>> James Khan was on that. Uh Vanessa Marcel, Molly Sims. >> That was a cool show.
00:09:34
>> Yeah. >> Yeah, Jimmy Khan was >> Tell us about Jimmy Khan, please.
00:09:38
>> He was just >> He's one of those guys that that I I learned more from Jimmy than anybody
00:09:44
else. And mostly he would be like, "You do what I say, not what I do." You know,
00:09:48
because the guy would admittedly say that he made a lot of mistakes, >> but was one of the most honest
00:09:58
uh people that I've ever worked with. He operated really well with chaos all
00:10:02
around him. So he always tried to create he needed like some [ __ ] to talk about
00:10:06
some somebody to somebody to be pissed off at on the set whether it was the writers or the DP or
00:10:12
>> the network or whoever it was he needed that in order to like rile himself up
00:10:17
but ultimately want always showed up he would he would hang out with anybody on set at all times. He was just one of
00:10:24
those guys that you just absolutely adored and didn't care, you know, he just sort of said what was on his mind
00:10:31
without any thought of repercussions. And I think that's what I admired the most about him. And he, you know, gave
00:10:37
me some some really interesting advice back in the day, not only about acting, but also about dating. I don't know if
00:10:44
we can share that here, but it was not >> You can share thing here. Yeah, >> we I'm intrigued by this. So, go ahead.
00:10:52
>> I had a date I had a date. I'm not going to say who it was with, but I had my first date and
00:10:59
>> Madonna, >> you know, and I said, "Jimmy, what do I do?" I was
00:11:04
really excited about this date and I didn't want and I and I just wanted to impress her and I didn't want to screw
00:11:08
it up. And he and I said, "What do I do? You know, we're going out." And he says,
00:11:13
"Well, first of all, take her to VBR." I You guys ever been to VTO, the
00:11:17
restaurant up in >> Everly Glenn? Ever Glenn? Yeah. and and jerk off before you go on the date so
00:11:25
you don't have any. He told me he told me to >> I have heard this theory
00:11:30
>> before I went on the dates that I didn't have any sort of >> horny man.
00:11:35
>> I knew a comedian who would do that. >> Really? Every time he would go on every
00:11:39
time he would go before he'd go on stage. >> No, before he'd go on a date after the
00:11:45
show, he would take care of his sexual urges so he wouldn't wake up going, "What? That's something I've heard and
00:11:52
it's >> I never practiced it because >> except before podcasts, right? I mean,
00:11:56
>> yeah. Well, that's different because that's business. >> That was that was his sage advice for
00:12:03
>> and did you follow it or no? >> Uh, probably. >> All right, let's look at a clip to do.
00:12:12
>> Go to the clip. I couldn't wait to say it that time. He was He's been holding
00:12:16
that go to the clip thing for like two minutes. He knew. He waited for the opening.
00:12:20
>> But isn't it something about New York guys who have been around for a while,
00:12:25
>> you know? They're like, "Hey, here's what you here's what you're going to
00:12:27
want to do. Okay. >> This the way you're going to handle this guy. Do this."
00:12:31
>> Yeah. It's like Joe Py was hosting SNL and he goes, "Yeah." And I didn't know
00:12:36
how much was acting, how much was Joe. And you're going, you know, when you when are you going to fight? You got to
00:12:40
ask yourself, when are you going to fight? I say, "Fuck it. It's a sugar
00:12:43
bowl across the nose." And you could tell that he'd done that. in life.
00:12:49
Someone was [ __ ] with him. Sugar bowl across the nose. >> I think guys like are acting like people
00:12:56
want them to act like from Good Fellas. Like that's his persona. He likes it and
00:13:00
then he's like I'm the tough guy and then he almost turns into that. I think
00:13:04
James Khan probably gets asked about Godfather >> Sunny for his whole life and so he's
00:13:10
just like >> he's got a built-in cool factor just from that by the way.
00:13:14
>> Oh my god. >> Yeah. He would he would find any excuse if If if the scene had any sort of
00:13:18
physicality, he'd find a reason to pull a pencil out of his little thing and I'm
00:13:23
going to I'm going to stick it in your neck. It was like, well, that's not
00:13:25
scripted, but seems a little over the top >> in the show. That's funny.
00:13:30
That's gangster. Yeah. >> And I always kne and I was pretty green when I first started this show. I mean,
00:13:36
I hadn't done much at all and and I was really open to learning from this guy,
00:13:41
obviously, because he's he's James K. But he would say we'd be in the middle
00:13:45
of a scene in between takes. I knew that I knew that I was going to get a talking
00:13:49
to and he'd be like, "Hey, come here. Come here for a minute with Joseph."
00:13:52
>> That's very New York. >> And he would give me advice on what I
00:13:55
should do, what I could do better. >> And you know, >> I I actually really learned a lot from
00:14:03
that guy. You know, >> it's good if you take it or at least fake take it because that's when fights
00:14:08
can happen. Sounds condescending, but if you're taking it from someone in the
00:14:11
Godfather, you go, I'll hear you out. You know, I'll hear what you say. Maybe
00:14:15
something will ring true and I can tweak it. >> What was What was it like in general?
00:14:19
Was it really short, quick statements, you know, for him, Jimmy advising you about the scene? Here's how you can
00:14:26
improve and it be like or was it confusing or was it just like >> really clean and and helpful? It was uh
00:14:34
God, I don't remember exactly, but it was usually pretty long-winded if I remember correctly. All right, guys.
00:14:40
It's time to uh it's time to get back to, you know, he he didn't care about,
00:14:44
you know, >> the time. >> He he'll go he'll we'll go when we're
00:14:49
ready. Uh but but yeah, that was uh that was five years we shot that show. >> Yeah.
00:14:55
>> And it was one of the more memorable experiences I've had in this business.
00:15:00
It's been half a lifetime ago now. Damn. >> Was Vegas shot in Vegas? It sounds like
00:15:05
a dumb question. >> We shot the first episode there and then when we got picked up, we shot the pilot
00:15:12
there and then when we got picked up, they built a big big casino on a sound. >> 108 shows. Do you still get checks?
00:15:25
>> If I do, it's not enough for my sister. Do you tell me about it? how you met
00:15:30
Molly Sims, who is also in Benchwarmers and the Wrong Missy. >> Oh. Uh, yes,
00:15:38
that is where I met Molly. >> Lovely lady. >> How long have you two known each other?
00:15:43
>> Agreed. >> Can we just talk about you two for a minute? >> Uh, we like taking questions.
00:15:47
>> We're not dating anymore, me and Dana. We're just sort of working friends.
00:15:51
>> He's picked his team and we're cool with it. >> Uh, >> here here's the advice Dana gave me when
00:15:57
I was acting on SNL. He goes, "Hey, come here." And I go and he goes, "What are
00:16:01
you doing?" I go, "I'm sorry. What are you doing in this scene?" I'm like,
00:16:07
"That's not a very constructive." >> I wear that. And I would wear the tank
00:16:10
top and I' I have a water cash in my back pocket. I go, "Hey, hey, David, you
00:16:14
know, this next scene, hey, do me a favor. Do me a favor." You know what I mean? Try to [ __ ] be funny. All
00:16:19
right. And I'd hand him like 520s. >> Do me a favor. That's very New York. Do
00:16:23
me a favor. >> How do you not know your lines are on Q cards? >> Yeah.
00:16:27
>> I don't know. Read the [ __ ] card, David. Come on, man. I'm sick of this
00:16:31
[ __ ] >> I met Dana. I don't know where I met Dana. I used to like him because he was funny comic. And
00:16:38
then uh I would see him >> clubs clubs pre-SNL. David was right out of high school, literally. And uh and
00:16:45
then he was around the clubs before I got on SNL in ' 86. >> No. Easy easy with
00:16:52
>> I know. Let's just say a while back. But back to our guest, what I'm curious
00:16:58
about is this evolution of male model >> soap opera Vegas. When did you sort of
00:17:05
feel or maybe you felt it during Vegas like I got this? I mean, when did you kind of go I know how to do this?
00:17:11
>> Did you study outside of the shows or did you just kind of a natural when did
00:17:15
you feel >> you could do it confident? >> Well, I mean it's it's I mean I'm I'm
00:17:20
still not sure I'm all the way there to be honest. >> That's everyone's feeling. I agree with
00:17:24
you. Even Vegas and Tad Hamilton to a normal person be like, "Shit, great looking guy. Two things going, he's set
00:17:31
for life." And you're like, "Didn't even cross my mind. I was set for life." I
00:17:35
was just like, "What if they both don't work? I'm right back to zero."
00:17:39
>> That's the reality of it. It's so scary. >> It is. And it's still the reality, you
00:17:42
know? It's I I I still have that same mentality, I think. But to answer your
00:17:46
question, Dan, I would I was >> bound and determined to be proficient at this. And I knew that I wasn't in the
00:17:54
beginning and I needed to be if I wanted to stay in the game, I had to keep working at it. So
00:17:59
>> I would be taking these these workshops from Larry Moss. I'd be taking classes
00:18:04
on the side, especially in the earlier days. >> Okay. Um, and even up until recently,
00:18:09
just to, you know, scare myself a little bit, those Larry Moss seminars were were
00:18:15
two weeks and you would put like big chunks of like a Eugene O'Neal play up on stage or Tennessee Williams or
00:18:23
whatever it was, and you'd have to rehearse with your partner with all the props and the whole thing. You put it up
00:18:27
in front of, you know, the whole class, which is a small theater. So, that was the closest I ever got to doing theater,
00:18:34
but it was terrifying. And I think that that's that's the kind of stuff I did
00:18:37
just to keep myself >> smart. >> You know, >> all those things help. I think
00:18:43
>> Yeah, >> we've heard that story a lot by people really, you know, when I was I watched
00:18:47
the uh first episode of um the Western Ransom Canyon and I and I just thought you were really in the pocket. I don't
00:18:54
know how you felt about it, but I just felt you were very there was a lot to do in that first episode. I don't know. I
00:19:01
don't know how you felt about that. Uh I I really enjoy the show actually, you know, I felt like uh it really sort
00:19:09
of found it. >> Yeah, it it was a little soft in I thought in the beginning.
00:19:13
>> Uh but then it gets it gets much it just keeps getting better and better and I
00:19:17
think the second season is is an extension of that. Um but you know I work April Blair is the writer or the
00:19:26
the head writer the showrunner on she just runs a great set. lets us really sort of
00:19:32
uh you know offer our thoughts and our ideas and she's really open to that kind
00:19:36
of stuff which I love because you know I want this character to feel as authentic
00:19:41
as I can make him and she's open to that. Isn't it fun to kind of play the
00:19:47
alpha? You know, I mean, you're kind of a badass, but you're sensitive. At least
00:19:51
what I saw. But you're on a horse galloping and you're this huge truck and
00:19:56
I don't know. It just seems fun to me. I never I'll never be offered that role,
00:20:00
you know? It's like >> And I never get to be the church lady. Goddamn it.
00:20:04
>> Yeah. >> I want to be the church lady. No, >> I'm writing a movie starting tomorrow
00:20:13
and you're going to be the church lady. The >> church lady. >> Well, a little thing called growth
00:20:17
hormones. We're larger now. Get used to it, [ __ ] Yeah, you I can see you doing that. I mean, do you have a thing
00:20:24
where you feel like you were in Transformers this and that? Do you have a thing to do a wacky comedy? Have you
00:20:30
felt you've done a really wacky one almost like Wayne's World or Joe Dirt or
00:20:34
you know? >> Well, those are those are truly my those are my favorite movies to be honest. Um
00:20:39
that's why I was so stoked to be on the show today because I'm a huge fan of
00:20:42
both of you. Honestly, I'm not just saying that cuz I'm here. >> Um but I do I love Fairly movies. I love
00:20:49
Adam Sandler movies. I love >> Todd Phillips and >> all those guys. >> And you know, we did a movie I directed
00:20:57
it a couple years ago. We did two of them now called Buddy Games which is just ridiculous. Just
00:21:02
>> Yes. >> It is. They're hard Rs. Your boy Nick Schwarz sadly with Nick Schwarz.
00:21:07
>> We wanted to ask you about that. Two things. One is you're directing these
00:21:11
movies. So you're making that leap. >> The balls out Rated funny and you have
00:21:15
Nick Schwarz. What could go wrong? And Olivia and and and Kevin Dylan and at least in the first one
00:21:23
>> was in it. >> James Rode. Yeah, we had we had a really funny cast.
00:21:27
Um, man, that was just like, you know, that talk about terrifying. Directing was like something I always
00:21:34
wanted to do and felt like I could, but didn't think I knew enough. >> But then I realized that I knew enough
00:21:40
to know that I didn't have to know everything >> and just surrounded myself with really
00:21:44
good people like Nick. And >> what is the hard part come in? Do you come in and, you know, you've got as a
00:21:50
director opposed to being an actor, so you've got to be part of all the prep?
00:21:54
It's it's sometimes it seems so much prep >> that once you're there,
00:22:01
>> 90% of the hard stuff is done because there's so many decisions. Then you're
00:22:04
like, now we just got to go. But that's got to be hard because I'm not in those
00:22:08
when you're not directing. So you set up and everything's ready >> and you know, you can tweak things, but
00:22:13
you've got to go with what you got. So that's probably a lot of the hard part.
00:22:17
>> Yeah, it's all about the prep for sure. But even even when you're prepped, you
00:22:22
things rarely go to plan. >> Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. because you never have enough time or money or you
00:22:27
know weather or you know >> change locations last minute and you're like I got to do this whole scene in
00:22:32
this now. Does this make any sense? >> Yeah. Dan Badol broke his leg. >> Oh wow.
00:22:38
>> H at the exact halfway point of the first movie on the we built this big
00:22:42
slide and he he kind he wanted to do it. We he was supposed to have a stunt cap but he's like I'm going to do it and
00:22:49
sure enough he's going down feet first. Should have gone head first. turns, bangs the crap out of his leg. And he
00:22:55
had this, it wasn't a break. It was called a sub sub uh subermal hematoma, I
00:23:00
think is what they called it. That was almost worse than a break. >> And he couldn't walk for the rest of the
00:23:05
movie. >> He literally had to sit down in between takes and raise his leg up.
00:23:10
>> And so any anytime we had him moving, we had to throw in this his his his body
00:23:16
double. And so that of course threw a huge wrench into things. We had to change the way we shot scenes and
00:23:22
everything else. But man, that guy was a warrior. He he he battled through it, you know. It was it was a rough one, but
00:23:28
he uh you'd never know watching the movie, but it's things like that. You
00:23:31
just have to be able to make decisions and be able to switch on the fly. And you when you have really good actors and
00:23:39
a good DP and a good crew, you're able to do it. And that's really what I
00:23:42
needed was all those things to pull. >> Yeah. I used to think it was just knowing lenses when I was younger, like
00:23:48
technical things. And now I realize what Spielberg has, just using his an example, is blink. I mean, all the other
00:23:55
stuff can be learned, but then it's like in the moment, oh, we got it. That's
00:23:59
funny or that's going to work. And so that's all the director the sensibility
00:24:03
if it comes through one guy's sensibility >> is usually better than having too many
00:24:09
cooks, you know. >> Yeah. And I think that there's a lot of different some some directors are much
00:24:13
more technical. They do understand every lens. And I wish id have paid more attention honestly early in my career so
00:24:19
I would have known more about that stuff. >> But it's just about your relationship
00:24:23
with your DP and being like >> DP does that. >> But if you say we're gonna do a twoot
00:24:27
here, does he say suggest a lens? Does he even mention it or does he say I think we should do this and you go I get
00:24:34
what you mean. Okay, that makes sense. >> Yeah. Or they'll show you through their
00:24:37
little thing. They're able to take their phone now and just sort of say okay so
00:24:41
this >> Oh. Oh the phone. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they can they can tell you what the
00:24:45
shot looks like and they have different lenses that show you like, okay, this is
00:24:48
what >> Oh, that's great. >> Yeah. >> So, yeah. I mean, there's a million
00:24:52
things you can do, but really it's it's about the prep. It's about the, you
00:24:55
know, getting make making it through all of the landmines that come about while shooting. And then the fun part is
00:25:03
really editing. That's really >> that's where the movie gets. You can
00:25:06
find a movie in there. And you got to just tell Nick to bring it down a million% every couple minutes.
00:25:12
Nick is actually Nick is actually >> that guy. I'm just so proud of that
00:25:17
dude. He's he's sober now. >> Yeah. >> You know, >> you're doing great.
00:25:21
>> And and you know he while we shot he was always he never drank, you know, which
00:25:26
was really impressive. >> It is for Yeah, it's true. I was with him. Yeah, it's true. He he
00:25:32
>> and he sits on set all day every day and sort of sits and punches up jokes and
00:25:36
he's extremely helpful. >> He's great for that. He was that on the
00:25:39
wrong miss. He was that on doover. He would sit >> together a lot, haven't you?
00:25:44
>> Yeah. It's not great, but Yeah. Listen, it's not great news, but it's news.
00:25:51
>> No, I have sushi with him and he and I know he's not drinking because he's
00:25:54
always grouchy. Do we have to go or you want to go? Why the [ __ ] are you always
00:25:58
like this? I go, Nick, you live downtown. Why am I going downtown for anything? I don't even want to go to a
00:26:02
Lakers game down there and get gunned down. >> I go, come downtown now. >> Yeah. You'll come to where people
00:26:09
actually live >> downtown. >> I thought he lived over by uh Barney's
00:26:16
Beanery. >> He lives by behind Koi. He did for a long time. Barney's Beanery area. I
00:26:20
always thought he had a tunnel into Barney's Beanery because >> he was there so much. I go, "No one's
00:26:24
actually seen you except there. Do you go under?" >> Pops up like a [ __ ] Mircat.
00:26:32
>> Mircat. >> No, you have in a movie. You can get >> Mircat Manor.
00:26:38
If you have him in a movie, you're going to get laughs. And also, he can help
00:26:42
punch up, so he's valuable. >> Yeah. >> And he's just a very sweet person, you
00:26:47
know. >> He really is. And he's a Vikings fan, which doesn't hurt.
00:26:51
>> He does like the Vikings. So, you're from North Dakota. What's your team?
00:26:55
Where do you intersect? >> Also, also Vikings, Twins, Timber. >> Okay. Because you're close.
00:27:00
>> Because you're in Minnesota now. I was listening. >> Lake Lakehouse.
00:27:05
>> Yeah. And I I have questions. When you do Transformers, we're jumping around,
00:27:10
but Transformers. Oh, a couple people saw it. I heard some applause. >> Three Transformers.
00:27:15
>> Three of them. >> And is Shia in any of these at these this point or not?
00:27:21
>> Yeah. So, Shia was in the first three and then I didn't do the fourth and I
00:27:27
ended up doing the fifth, but yeah, I worked with Shia in the first three. >> Oh, you were in three and then another
00:27:31
one. >> No, one, two, and three, and then five. Oh, so you were in Okay, you were in
00:27:36
film. >> Uh, great. Shia, I mean, he seems, first of all, he's pretty good actor and he
00:27:41
seems like a cool dude, but I know he steps in [ __ ] a lot, but I feel like was
00:27:46
he cool? He seems like a cool dude. >> I love him. I really do. >> Oh, good. Okay.
00:27:51
>> You know, he's misunderstood. He's a little bit uh complicated, I guess.
00:27:58
>> Sure. >> But also, when he's sober, he's amazing. you know,
00:28:02
>> I'm not sure where he's at now with all that, >> but he was uh
00:28:06
>> he was just a kid when we started. I mean, he was I >> True story. We're at I'm at the airport
00:28:14
flying to New Mexico for the first day of shooting this movie, which was a giant break for me. I was like, "Oh my
00:28:18
god, >> huge movie. Michael." >> Yeah. >> And Shia, who was this kid, you know, I
00:28:25
think he was 17 or 18 years old, shows up with a black eye at the airport. He went to a Dodgers game the night before
00:28:31
and got into a fight in the parking lot after the game. >> What a start shooting in like two days.
00:28:38
>> Oh boy. >> And I was like, "Oh my god, this kid just doesn't care."
00:28:43
>> Yeah. >> But you know, not that he doesn't care about the work, he just he just fullon
00:28:49
sort of like Jimmy in a lot of ways, but super talented. >> Yeah. >> A sweetheart of a guy
00:28:55
>> and I got nothing but love for him, honestly. >> And the movies work. I mean, and you
00:28:59
were there for the Megan Fox ones, too, right? >> Yep. >> And you had And then she did how many?
00:29:06
>> Just one. >> I think she did the first two, didn't she? I don't remember.
00:29:12
>> I feel more than one. >> She used to do the first one. >> And then it was an Australia. I mean,
00:29:16
they kind of It's always going to be once she was out, they're like, "Okay,
00:29:19
we need something gorgeous. We need a gorgeous girl." Not something. We need a gorgeous actress
00:29:25
and they can act. And it's and they were coming through. >> Yeah, he's got an he's got an eye for
00:29:31
that, Michael Bay. He knows how to he knows how to find them. >> He knows he knows what he's doing. I
00:29:36
just want to mention about Shila is the movie he did about his dad >> explained a lot.
00:29:41
>> A honey bear or something. >> Yeah, it was so twisted. >> It was such a um twisted to have a
00:29:48
parent jealous of your success and all the competition and >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I think that's where a lot of the
00:29:54
complication came from. I mean, I don't know for sure what the story is there,
00:29:57
>> but I but he's he's a he can be brilliant as an actor. He's incredible.
00:30:02
>> He truly is a incredible actor. He really is super intense and is able to
00:30:06
access that so quickly. >> Uh I was mostly impressed at how just how talented he was
00:30:13
>> and fearless because, you know, he was the lead of this big movie and just like
00:30:17
went for it, you know. I >> I just have to ask you because it's in my head. Did they what did they do about
00:30:22
the black eye? Did they have you punch him the first day or something? >> I don't remember shooting at the
00:30:28
sequence, too, which is >> I was like, what were you thinking getting into a fight like the night
00:30:32
before? >> Hey, dude. I'm starting a $300 million movie. You You're You're a good man. I'm
00:30:40
weak. I'm >> We have to get out of any fight. I'm starting a $300 million movie tomorrow,
00:30:44
guys, or I would just beat the [ __ ] out of everyone in here. Then they go, "I thought it was Buzz
00:30:49
Boys." It's the budget's getting up there. >> When someone says to you in a parking
00:30:54
lot, "What are you looking at?" You got to say, "Uh, nothing goodbye." You can't
00:30:59
go, "What?" You don't go, "What? What do you mean what are you looking at? What
00:31:02
are you looking at?" Hey, do me a favor. Get the [ __ ] out of here. You know,
00:31:06
>> Jesus. >> I just want to do that character all day. Once you said Joe Peshi, I'm off
00:31:10
with the races. So, the thing about directing, like everyone has always said, just direct. You can't spend your
00:31:17
story. You just So, how much better did you feel with the second one, the sequel, Buddy Game: Spring Awakening?
00:31:24
Cuz there was a second one. >> Yes. Um better. I feel better. I I felt a little
00:31:31
bit more confident, I guess. that I could that I could that I knew what you know what to look out for,
00:31:38
>> you know, because the first time you're you're doing anything like that, you obviously
00:31:42
you make a bunch of mistakes and you learn from those. But um but then the second one just presented a whole new
00:31:49
slew of challenges. So but it was but it really was a lot. I mean it was I just love those guys. Rode
00:31:59
back at all Schwarzen Dylan. They're all just such great guys and really sort of patient. So they they
00:32:08
came ready to go >> to adapt. >> Yeah. And they were great. And and I
00:32:13
think that when you have guys like that, it just makes a lot easier. >> Do you get to use your first AD, your
00:32:19
DP? Did you try to get everyone sort of the same because you had sort a system at that point?
00:32:26
>> Yes, a lot. We had a lot of the same crew there in kind of the same area.
00:32:31
Some of them, you know, some of them were off working somewhere else, but for the most part, we had the same team.
00:32:35
>> Were they both in the same city? I'm sorry to interrupt you. Were they in the
00:32:37
same city? >> No. Well, no, because it was it was Vancouverish, but we were out at this
00:32:44
thing place called Lake Harrison for the second one. So, yeah. I mean, it was >> that's complications, too. It's
00:32:50
different crew. You you you have to use some local crew. You have to use some local talent, right? I mean, maybe I'm
00:32:57
crazy. This is what I used to. >> No, that's that's and it'd be nice to be
00:33:01
able to work with the same people all the time, but people get jobs elsewhere and they're not available. So,
00:33:07
>> uh, like my DP, I didn't get to use the same DP because his his mother was sick.
00:33:11
He was from the UK and he couldn't make it. >> Uh, so we had a different DP who's also
00:33:18
very >> also sometimes you're saying, "Hey, we're starting in January." And then
00:33:21
they clear it and then he go pushed to April and they're like, "I got to take
00:33:25
something." And then it's so complicated that you go. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's the hard part about that's
00:33:31
especially if it's >> under a $30 million but if it's not like a tent pole, it's something they just
00:33:36
are locked into. Things can be moved, things get pushed, people fall out. >> It's tough coordinating.
00:33:43
>> Yeah. But, you know, the thing that I that I've really learned from this, and
00:33:47
I think it was just in general for me in all facets was that I was able to, one of the things I guess
00:33:57
I'm most proud of was I was able to get, you know, whether it's my my wardrobe or
00:34:00
my hair and makeup team or my art department, I let them go do their I said, "Okay, I
00:34:07
gave them an idea of what I wanted and I let them be the artist that they are rather than try to micromanage it too
00:34:12
much because then they felt enlisted and going out and sort of walking through walls for because then it was like all
00:34:18
of us were moving in the same direction. Um, you know, and I've worked with directors, all different kinds of
00:34:24
directors, some that were micromanaging and some, and they, you know, everybody's kind of operating out of a
00:34:29
sense of fear, and there were some that felt like they were all part of a a thing where we're all, we're all working
00:34:35
towards the same objective. And >> we really did a good job of that, you know, because we didn't have a lot of
00:34:40
money or a lot of time, and we had to get these days shot or we didn't we just
00:34:45
wouldn't get it. So, >> Mhm. >> It seems like actors make better
00:34:51
directors often because they know what it's like. You're so vulnerable and the
00:34:55
camera's on you, the crew's watching, you're doing multiple takes or maybe you
00:34:58
blew a few lines and so anyway, I just assume you'd be naturally good at it,
00:35:03
you know, just because you're experienced on the other side. >> Well, I don't have any big studios
00:35:08
knocking on my door, so I don't know how good at it I am. >> Well, do you ask do you ask Ransom
00:35:12
Canyon if down the line you can do it? Yeah, Josh H. Yeah, Transformers, of course. All right. Thanks, Stephen.
00:35:21
Spielberg. >> Oh, good. >> Gonna call you. >> Oh, good. >> I was going to ask you being a leading
00:35:27
man, like it wasn't something that David Well, David did some romantics things.
00:35:32
Did you ever have somebody that you either kind of fell in love with secretly or you knew that they had
00:35:37
fallen in love with you without You don't have to name names. I'm not looking for a trend, but you know,
00:35:42
>> on a on set with like a like a like >> Yeah. >> Kristen Bell, Jennifer Lopez.
00:35:50
>> No, no, no, no, no. I never did. Thank God. >> No. >> Ma Kelly,
00:35:55
>> they all had significant others. Mhm. >> But even then it's like
00:36:01
>> I just knew how problematic that be. >> So I mean I haven't been perfect but I
00:36:08
have never gotten romantically involved with a >> and plus I was always you know either in a relationship or
00:36:15
married. So no. No. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Sorry I got that off my um you
00:36:21
know there's always beautiful people in the show biz. So, I can see I can see
00:36:26
why it happens in the world. And uh the hard thing is going from movies, even friendships, you're like so locked with
00:36:32
people, especially you when you're directing with your whole crew and then everyone splits. It's such a it's such a
00:36:37
weird mind [ __ ] that people don't really take into consideration and then the
00:36:41
next one you you sort of have to slowly get to know everybody and then by the end of the rap party you're like, "Wait,
00:36:47
we're leaving." And then everyone just gone and you might never talk to them
00:36:50
again in your life. We might stay in touch but everyone's busy and >> work is the best way to keep friends
00:36:56
together because if you all have to be somewhere common goal >> then you stay in it's very hard to keep
00:37:02
going. >> I feel like Sandler's done a really good job of that, hasn't he?
00:37:06
>> That's why we're all crazy. >> Sandler's a singularity. There's no one
00:37:10
like Adam Sandler in terms of the amount of work he does, how loyal he is to his
00:37:15
friends. I mean, they're going to do Grown-Ups Three. That's outright. So I mean there are the
00:37:22
poses back together. >> Chris, Rob Snyder, David. >> I mean it he's the best example of I
00:37:30
think what David just said is you know keeping you know that crew that that team or those that group of friends
00:37:37
together but it's hard to do. And every movie and every project as you guys know
00:37:42
is like a summer camp. Everybody comes together and it's like you you're just
00:37:46
getting to know everybody's name and then it's time to go home. >> Yeah. And then you do and then you do it
00:37:50
again. But it's like building a little business for however long this production is on and then it all goes
00:37:57
away and then you go on to the next one. So >> for sanity purposes it helps to have be
00:38:02
around the same people. It's just like so odd because LA you know you're in
00:38:06
Vancouver Schwarz and goes this you know I have friends here then everyone splits
00:38:10
off and standup comedians your friends and they on the road. It's same kind of
00:38:14
thing. No one's really one spot for too long. No, we're all we're all Vega
00:38:18
bonds. What do you think about the uh the chance that you know production starts coming back to Los Angeles? I'm
00:38:27
hearing some I know that's on the top of mind for some of these pol some of these
00:38:32
especially the mayor all candidates, >> but you think they're going to do
00:38:35
anything about it? >> What do you think the first step is tax breaks or try to compete with all these
00:38:42
places? Um, Sandler did Happy Gilmore in New Jersey and this is what I read. I'm not
00:38:50
so it's in whatever Hollywood Reporter just it was $150 million budget and then
00:38:55
it they got it down to a 90 billion a million dollar budget because of the tax credits. However that works but
00:39:02
>> in Los Angeles >> no in New Jersey like Netflix is moving their major headquarters to New Jersey.
00:39:09
New Jersey, at least in the states, is saying, "Come on down." >> But California didn't keep up. It's got
00:39:15
a lot of pensions to pay. It's It's got a lot of money going elsewhere. So, it
00:39:19
wasn't easy. But they weren't matching New Orleans or now even Toronto. >> People are going to Romania, as you
00:39:26
know, uh London, Ireland. >> We shoot We shoot We shoot, uh Ransom Canyon, New Mexico. They got a hu
00:39:32
Netflix has a huge >> Yeah. >> uh Yeah. Yeah. And that's what it is. I
00:39:38
mean, when I do a movie or TV show, it's literally someone, first of all, they
00:39:42
say they don't even consider LA. They go, they look at some, it's really just
00:39:46
a chart. They go, "This one gives 13% tax break. So, let's say you spend this
00:39:50
much money, you get money back, and that's a $20 million movie can be shot for, you know, 16 million. They save 4
00:39:57
million. That's all they want to hear." And here it costs 20 or more. So,
00:40:01
>> it's all it's all math. Rob told us about his game show uh the floor and
00:40:06
that they just had to move the entire American >> contestants >> everybody to Dublin
00:40:13
>> really >> um to Dublin >> Roblo's game show the floor has to be
00:40:18
done in Dublin because you can shoot for three weeks there at the same price of one day or something
00:40:24
>> incredible the differential so but the the good news is is like you can
00:40:30
>> no one knows where anyone is anymore or like you can you can just be in Mina or
00:40:34
whatever. We're just going to zoom in or you know no one has to be in the olden
00:40:38
days. You got to go to Sardis and have a drink and your manager would network and
00:40:42
now it's just >> I don't know if it'll ever come back to where it was. Paramont is trying to do
00:40:48
it. The Ellison twins or whatever. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean it'd be nice to work at
00:40:54
work here once in a while. Yes. You know what and you know >> it just feels like fewer and fewer
00:40:59
things are being shot here. And you know, it's fine if you if >> we can go elsewhere and work, but what
00:41:04
about the crew that lives here in LA? >> That's that's the really sad part. All
00:41:08
those people, a lot of them have had to move and scrambling for money. And that's the real cuz the so-called stars
00:41:16
are they can move around, but yeah, they're fixed in one place and they're
00:41:20
professional set designers and grips and all that. How about we lose the highspeed rail and then we have showbiz
00:41:27
back >> 100% back. Just keep giving the highspeed rail money as tax incentives
00:41:33
cuz >> $20 billion get you a mile. I'm not even saying that's a good or bad thing. I'm
00:41:38
just saying 20 billion get you a mile. >> I'm going to bid on that. I can beat
00:41:41
that. >> I would love I like European high-speed trains. I don't really like airports or
00:41:47
flying. I would love a high-speed train, but it started when I was in eighth grade and um I have to live to 140 to
00:41:55
ride on it. Other than that, it's terrific. >> They have it. It's not even built yet.
00:41:59
They're like I've seen some renderings. I I've seen it for 10 years. When do
00:42:04
they make it? >> I don't know. What's the What's uh North Dakota like? Is it a pretty high What's
00:42:10
their state tax? Well, I'm actually feel you're a >> resident OF NORTH DAKOTA.
00:42:18
>> OH. OH, WOW. SMART. >> And I can tell you I've been a resident
00:42:23
there for years, but um yeah, my wife is from there. You know, our house is there.
00:42:30
>> I love Montana. I love North Dakota. I love that part of America. I love the
00:42:36
mountains. I like the lakes. I mean, West Western Montana in the in the summer. H it's a love fest, but So you
00:42:45
you're That's great. So you're not It gets pretty thirsty down here, as David
00:42:50
would say, as far as taxes. It's pretty pretty sad. California does. It's crazy.
00:42:54
It's crazy. And I And it would be one thing if I knew where they were going,
00:42:57
but I I just I look around like where we pay more taxes. Minnesota is also really
00:43:02
bad for taxes. >> Yeah. But >> got your own things up there. >> Yeah.
00:43:09
>> I I'd like to kind of I I just want to know for a second like what are you
00:43:13
>> what are you like out in the world in in up in North Dakota? Everyone leaves you
00:43:17
alone. You wear a baseball cap. You're just you're just blend in and then when
00:43:21
you're on your lake house, you're just going to the Are you to fish there? Do
00:43:25
you water ski? I mean, what do you what's your life up in those mountains? So, we have a we have a our place in
00:43:33
Fargo, which is, you know, Fargo is actually a bustling little town. It really is. There's a lot of
00:43:39
>> It's like a real city, right? >> Yeah. It's it's it's a it's a really fun
00:43:43
town, too. I mean, people know of it from the movies and the TV shows, and it's it's uh it's very different than
00:43:48
that, but but, you know, it's >> uh I just I just love North Dakota. I
00:43:53
love the people there. I love how I love this the the way they live their lives.
00:43:57
is very it's it's a little bit slower. Um >> yeah, not everyone's talking about
00:44:03
politics. >> No, the cabin life is is just kind of my it's just absolute freedom out there.
00:44:11
>> So I bought over the last 15, 16, maybe 17 years now. I bought like a little
00:44:16
half a parcel for 12 ac 12 acres for like nothing. And then the other half of that parcel went up for sale when the
00:44:23
old guy Cody died. Then I had then 26 acres with a little cab little shack of a cabin with no electricity, no water,
00:44:32
>> but it was a cabin. It was a structure. I got a cabin. I'm not going to sleep
00:44:36
there. >> Yeah. >> With the rats or the mice or the raccoons. And then the one next to that
00:44:42
went up for sale. So it was like I had now I had I got it for nothing. I'll tell you I'll put tell you what I paid
00:44:49
for. $189,000 for 26 acres. >> I'll give you one. and right on the water.
00:44:56
>> Yeah. So, it was like, wow. >> You know, the amount you can get there
00:45:00
versus what you pay for it here is crazy. Oh my god. >> I'm not sure I would be able to get it
00:45:04
for that now. But >> then all of a sudden, I had two little cabins and like 50 acres on this place
00:45:10
and I never planned to do that. I just wanted something >> out there somewhere that I could just
00:45:14
get away and go, you know, fish and stuff like that. Well, it's turned into like a whole passion of mine because I
00:45:20
just love and I started moving dirt and I started shaping it and and you know and then we built we actually built a
00:45:27
property because the other two were so small we couldn't have any families like
00:45:30
these cabins are so small they're just big enough for three people or family of
00:45:34
three >> and so you know it's what I think I love the most about it is I just get out
00:45:40
there and it's just my heart rate drops about 25% it's just much less of uh that
00:45:48
my priorities change too. I feel like I have purpose by you know I'm always working on something where I don't even
00:45:54
mow my own lawn here. I just you know >> Are you homesteading it or did you get
00:45:59
services? Did you get water from the city and hook it up? >> Well, we had to dig wells. Okay.
00:46:04
>> Each one of the cabins has a well. >> Mhm. >> We operate off propane.
00:46:09
>> Um solar. Uh, you know, for the first few years we was, you know, there was no
00:46:16
water. There was no bathroom in the we had electricity in the little cabin, the first the second one, but no water. So,
00:46:21
we were like washing our dishes in the lake and it was it was like homesteading.
00:46:26
>> But, I loved it. You know, it was like so different than anything I'd ever done
00:46:29
before. >> That's Dana's place right now. >> Uh, I like all that everything you're
00:46:34
talking about. I I love being on a lake. Uh, Montana. Uh, it is just magic. There's a vibe and an atmosphere you
00:46:42
can't quite describe, but it's it's completely different. I mean, >> yeah,
00:46:46
>> that's awesome that you do that, you know? >> It's good for the soul.
00:46:50
>> Yeah. >> Then a week later, you're on a night shoot somewhere in Atlanta. You're like,
00:46:54
>> it might be rude, but I'm playing Minneapolis and I kind of like to take a
00:46:58
little vacation. I mean, I I'm not going to say what's the address and where's
00:47:01
the Heidi key, but I'm just saying >> hide. >> I would Hey, you are welcome anytime,
00:47:07
Ben. And I mean that. I mean it. You can take you can take the little red cabin on the water.
00:47:12
>> I like the sound of that. >> It's really It's really cute. It's tiny
00:47:16
little >> And do you have a boat? Do you have a little fisher boat or do you have like a
00:47:20
speedboat or you have a canoe? >> I got We just bought I just splurged and
00:47:26
bought a pontoon because I hadn't Ours was old. >> Gotta have a pontooner.
00:47:31
>> Uh I got a little old fishing boat out there and a couple old jet skis. with
00:47:35
us. Oh, and so >> a sea plane. >> I wish. So, there's this. So, we did I did this movie a couple
00:47:47
years ago with JLo >> called Shotgun Wedding >> and there was this movie or there's this
00:47:54
not movie, there was this boat that was kind of in the beginning of the movie and at the end it was going to throw a
00:47:59
little picnic for in the movie and and it was this old 54 Chriscraft and I was like, "What do you what's up with that
00:48:04
boat?" boat and they said, "We paid a lot of money for this thing." I said,
00:48:07
"Well, I'll give you >> I'll give you this for it." They said,
00:48:10
"No, no, we paid we paid a we paid this." >> What are they going to do?
00:48:13
>> Let it go. Well, about six months later, they come back and they say, "You still
00:48:17
want the boat?" And I said, "Well, I'll give you like half as much as I offered
00:48:20
before." >> And smart. >> They said, "Fine." They took it
00:48:25
>> and then it was over in Puerto Rico or something. I had to get it all the way
00:48:28
back to the States. And finally they and they were having to do all that and they said, "You know
00:48:33
what? It's yours. So, they gave it to >> They gave it to you. So, you just
00:48:38
>> they gave it to me, which there's a little more to this story, but so I had
00:48:42
So, I ended up getting it back to to Florida and we and I had somebody pick it up in Florida and drive it to Fargo.
00:48:48
And I have this old guy named David Selvig and he's got two buddies who help
00:48:51
him. He he restores these old boats. He It looks beautiful on the outside, but when they open it up, man, it was just
00:48:58
>> it was a whole It was a It was a huge money pit. So that free boat went to,
00:49:02
you know, >> Yeah. You paid >> not free, >> right? >> But it's all done now and it's out on
00:49:06
the water and it's a really cool ride. >> Wow. >> So, you know. >> All right, D. We're gonna let Josh go,
