I'm like, oh, Ship, there's James exactly first 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:34.720 episode and graduations welcome James, go ahead that yeah, new 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.880 show Netflix is dropping July sixteenth. 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:39.639 The Hawk right right here. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:41.839 This hilarious. 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.720 It just kills me how you have no passion for 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.119 your best friend after he dies and you just want 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:49.800 to go on with life. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.360 But talk about it. Talk about it. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.880 Yeah, Lonnie, Lonnie Hawkins, the aka the Hawk is h 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:01.120 he's very much you know, he's he's a pro golfer 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.480 who who can't give it up, which you guys probably 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.320 can relate to where you have that point in your 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.639 career where you're like cold, I still play. I think 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.440 I can, but but and then you probably you know, 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:15.680 hits like a ton of bricks of life. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.080 You can still get out there. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.640 And that's Lonnie. He's he's bounced around on the corn 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:27.680 Ferry Tour and uh, he's still hoping to win his final, 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.000 you know, get the Grand Slam. He's he's won three majors. Uh. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.400 He's competing with his son, who's the next best thing 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.840 on the PGA tour yep, played by Jimmy tatrou And 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:46.600 uh and yeah, so Lonnie's just kind of this a 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.720 character I've wanted to play for a long time, very 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:55.320 much a narcissist who's you know at one point, like 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.080 you said, I mean spoiler alert, his longtime caddie. Uh, 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:07.560 he's had for years. Ah, there's a change that's made, right, 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:10.280 this is weird. This is the first time I talked 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:11.600 about the show, so I don't know whether to give 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:16.080 away stuff, but uh, Lonnie, Lonnie just wants to keep 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.920 playing on the golf course. And but that's kind of 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:20.800 what fuels him. But then he later he feels bad. 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.040 So he's not a bad guy, but he's just he 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:28.200 can't shut down that drive. Uh and uh and he 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:32.279 makes a lot of bad decisions in his life. And 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.839 but but uh, this was a blast. We got to 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.080 shoot all in l at this great cast with Mollie 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.600 Shannon from this she plays my my ex wife who's 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.560 still my wife, who because I won't sign the divorce papers. Uh. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:51.000 We have Chris Parnell, Luke Wilson plays one of my rivals, 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.880 and uh, yeah, it's just a it was it was 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.479 really fun to do a show that's just kind of 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.720 comedy forward and uh it's kind of back to some 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:04.960 of the older things I've done. 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:06.480 Yeah, yeah, I loved it. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.640 You gotta think for sports movies, Tatadlegga Knights, Blaze of Glory, 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.560 semi pro kicking and screaming. This to come from having 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.760 an athletic background. Are you just acting the movies because 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:17.919 you was trash in sports? 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.800 No, you're looking at the captain of the university high 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:28.960 school basketball. Oh, the captain, the captain the mean streets 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:40.400 of Irvine, California average because it was hard defense, rebound. 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.119 There you go, use all five fouls, Okay, old school, 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.080 I could set a mean screen. You need those guys. 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.240 Yeah right, you can't take your fouls home. You might 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:51.880 as well use them. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.320 I used them. I used them. 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.520 But no, I I mean, I was a kid who 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.760 just went from whatever the season was. I played in 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:07.880 the sport and and I loved I loved team sports. 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.480 I loved you know, kind of that thing where you know, 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.280 I had as much fun scoring a basket, it is 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.720 much fun giving it you know, like a great assist 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.120 a scorn in a basket, and that that translated to 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:26.560 working in on film, which is which is a team 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:33.160 and ensemble comedy. That's what drew me to a place 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.520 where here in La called the Groundlings, whereas where I 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.320 kind of did all my training, which was sketch comedy, 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.080 and and my dream was always to be on SATA 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.120 Night Live. And I loved that ensemble. And I think 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.960 it all comes from team sports. And that's why a 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:48.960 lot of the comedies that have worked for me have 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.120 been big casts. We love casting our friends, funny people, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:58.080 people who you know, also maybe weren't shown that they 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.960 could do, you know, com You know, a guy like 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.120 Mark Wahlberg really didn't have it started, and then we 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.600 thought of them for the other guys and and things 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.440 kind of took off for him in in a totally 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.920 different direction. Sou But yeah, I think I think a 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.200 lot of that points back to sports. 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.520 What do you say to people who feel comedy really 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.920 isn't the same as at what once was. You guys 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.800 kind of set the standard. A group of guys set 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.000 the standard in the in the two thousands, and to me, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:28.200 it hasn't necessarily been the same. It hasn't really translated 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.680 on the big screen or streaming or whatever, however people 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:32.840 watch their movies these days. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.280 Yeah, you know, I don't. I don't know. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:34.640 I don't. 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:39.560 I don't really get in to the weeds of of 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.480 comedy analysis too much. You know, it's always a thing 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.840 that's gonna ebb and flow in terms of people's taste 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:53.000 and what people want to create, and I just kind 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.480 of do you do my thing, and hopefully you like it. 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.720 I don't know what to tell you. It worked out 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:08.120 for good, so you know a lot of times that 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:13.160 that's what still strikes me today is the weird stuff 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.920 that comes out of my brain. Somehow, A majority of 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.160 people thought it was funny for the most part. There 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.400 are definitely some things that that didn't work, which is 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.600 the nature of the beast. But you know that that's 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.720 why I think being on something like Saturday Night Live, 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.440 where we every week you had to come up with 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.040 something new and you just had to throw it against 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.760 the wall, and you couldn't you couldn't get wrapped up in, 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:41.400 you know, judging it too too intensely because you just 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.240 had to move on to the next thing. So it 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.440 created this muscle of like just try it, don't judge 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.160 it too much, trust your instincts and and kind of 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.520 move on. So I don't know, I'm still trying to 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:52.719 do that. 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.199 I think the people that go on Stata in my 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.080 Live like you and just stand out. That's the comedians 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.800 that separates themselves like Eddie did it when he went 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:01.840 on Saturday Live. When you, when you went on Saturday 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.080 Live like you stood out, Like It's very few people 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.160 and a lot of people have come through Saturday Time 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:07.000 and I watched them all. 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.080 There's very few that stand down and command everything. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.120 You've always been a fan of comp Yes, yeah, my 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.800 whole life. Yeah, Matt, not so much. 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.000 No, I love it. 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.080 I love it. I'm just listening. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.319 I'm excited to have you here. So I'm listening to 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:22.840 the stories. 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.120 He's a joker, trust me, don't he's warming up, trust me. 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:27.600 It's a whole bunch of shots of comings you get 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:28.000 ready to do. 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.800 But that's what that's what I love about talking to 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:35.840 athletes people in music like like they're drawn to comedy 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.160 as another thing, like to take your brain off of. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.120 What you do.

He's real picky about what 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.560 he does and what he attaches his stuff to. Sure, 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.120 fact to fiction in old School. In the streaking scene, 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.480 you actually ran naked by a public gym and freadmills 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:56.720 up against the window. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:03.360 Fact, Yeah, that's right out here.

We were waiting for the sun 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.760 to go down, so we were just kind of rehearsing 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:35.400 the camera move for for that scene. And uh, and 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.240 I noticed there's like a restaurant, there's all these shops, 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.360 and there was this gym with with with all all 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:47.960 these treadmills and all these housewives jogging on the treadmill. 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.760 And I said to one of the crew people, like, 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.480 do these people know what's about to be filmed here? 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.480 Because I'm in a robe and there, and someone was like, oh, 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:00.760 I don't know anyway, action and then I start running 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.280 and we're doing the scene and I can literally hear 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:13.120 off camera whoa, And then we do. By the third take, 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.800 the gym was cleared out. Everyone had left. They didn't 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.480 They weren't excited to see me run naked. 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:20.760 No heads up, huh. 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.440 What's the backstore?

I 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.440 didn't know that when I saw it when the audience, 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:43.200 that it would play that that crazy. And but it 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.360 was my idea to like, once I'm hit with a tranquilizer, 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.080 dart and we knew I was gonna fall in the pool. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.560 I was like, can we get some can we get 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.520 like a stunt kid?

And they're like we 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.200 actually we were hoping we have this kid's a stunt kid. 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.600 You can throw down, you can do whatever you want. 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.720 So that's why that's why I'm like ship knocking everyone through. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.840 But yeah, that was That was Todd phillips whole plan 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.480 of like the juxtaposition of a guy hit with a 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.520 trank dart walking through a kid's birthday party. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:15.720 Yeah. 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:24.199 Yeah, back to fiction and wedding crashes doing the right 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.400 The camera actually shakes because the camera man laughs so hard. 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.119 Oh, I don't know. I don't know about that. 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.960 Okay, maybe we did too good at research on this. Really. Yeah, 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:35.159 they didn't even let you know about it. 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:40.600 Yeah that's how good we all here, but we see 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:41.040 the cameras. 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.600 But that was that was a lot of that stuff. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.560 The whole meat loft thing was all I just that 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:46.440 was all improvised. 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.520 Yeah, I know what she's doing back there. 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.120 Yeah, that was all because I because it was making 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.800 me laugh at this this. I could hear her back 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:58.480 there the actress, what's up? But I know that in 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:04.200 I know that in Talladega Knights when we're doing the 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:10.320 the baby Jesus scene and then we're we're having the 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:16.159 debate about and the kids were like making fun of 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.359 the grandfather, like I'll come out you chip, like the 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:24.480 exactly we kept feeding them where the camera guy he 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.080 was like hugely shaking so far he was and he 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.480 kept apologizing. He's like, I'm so sorry, I can't stop laughing. 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.639 Those kids are sucking animals. Yeah, they were, Well, you 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:37.040 find the. 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:40.160 Kids funny ship. 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:44.160 Anchorman is the movie that's near and dear to your heart. 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.440 Factor fiction, I would say fact. I think that that 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:55.160 is uh uh, that was you know it. It's it's 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:59.600 a cliche Hollywood story you hear about movies where you know, 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.600 no no one wanted to make them, no one really understood, 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.080 And that was kind of our version of that. 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:05.639 It was. 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:12.080 I think when we first we were going out to 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.560 studios and finance, I think over the course of a 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:17.560 two week period of time, I think we had twenty 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:23.159 rejections of like I said, either people with financing or 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:29.399 studios themselves who just didn't get why that would be funny, 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.440 and we were trying to use the Austin Powers model 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.320 of you know, well, no one thought a spy genre 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.280 would be translate to comedy. This is the same for like, 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.760 you know a bunch of news people who you know, 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.919 and it's not trust me, it's these characters are going 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:45.560 to be crazy. 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:46.480 It's not. 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.960 It's not a you know, a narrative about the news. 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:54.560 And so that was. 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:00.000 When we finally got to it's funny. The one student 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:04.040 you where it was at Old School came out and 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.320 that was at the same that was at dream Works 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.679 and Anchorman was just sitting on the shelf. So then 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.360 Old School came out became a big hit, and they're like, wait, 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:23.119 we always liked Anchorman, but but that was you know, 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.080 I was really you talk about Stephen, you're talking about 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.399 leaving Saturn Night Live, and it's not necessarily I think 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:32.000 people view it as like an automatic launching pad to 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:36.119 a career, and it's not necessarily the case. It's it's uh, 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.240 it is harder than you think to leave that show 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:45.040 and find success afterwards. So and when I left the show, 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.479 I really didn't have it just felt like the right 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.960 time to go and test the waters. But but I 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:54.800 got lucky in that the first three projects after Saturday 0:20:54.880 --> 0:21:02.119 Night Live were Old School Elf and Anchorman, So it's. 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:02.760 A nice three piece. 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:05.720 You have a massive heart. 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:15.679 Fleets funny too when we first started. 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:17.280 By the way, that the hard on was not ten 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:23.240 thousand dollars. That was just literally a the end of 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:31.000 a paper towel roll in my pants, So fact not fiction, 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:37.720 pure fact, pure fact. Depletes did accentuate it's deplete. 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.200 He caught it at the right angle. Yeah, when we 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.520 first started doing this, Jack would literally read anything on 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:47.560 the prompter, so his nickname. For the longest time with 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:51.240 ron Berg, we were horrible doing ads. When we first started, 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.879 Jack would just fucking read anything on for the heads. 0:21:58.280 --> 0:21:58.800 San Diego. 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:02.840 When we were when we were writing the script, we 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:05.840 were like, Okay, this guy has to be such an 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.240 idiot that he and then we were like, what could 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.200 be the worst thing he could say that would ruin 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:13.840 his career And we're like, Oh, tell an entire city 0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:18.200 to go fucking and go fuck yourself, San Diego, and 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:20.560 then deny that he said it. 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.080 I just want to punch you in the face that 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:28.520 those Taladiga Knights did. Sasha Baron Cone true factor fiction 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:30.719
