Speaker 1: All right, kiss FM here this morning, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: into what we should be looking for in the next
Speaker 1: couple weeks and months.
Speaker 2: El Nino is coming. I've got Josh Dumel on the line.
Speaker 1: Last time we spoke, Josh had just got married, I
Speaker 1: think literally days before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was not too.
Speaker 3: Long ago, mid September.
Speaker 2: Probably, yeah, I think that's probably right.
Speaker 1: And I was just saying to Cisiny and Tanya here,
Speaker 1: I was very excited to have.
Speaker 2: You on it. This is not just a normal catch
Speaker 2: up with Josh.
Speaker 1: Dumel about his latest project, buddy Game Spring Awakening.
Speaker 2: This is about us working together.
Speaker 3: It's sure as pal, it's sure as you were very
Speaker 3: generous in lending some of your time. And I don't
Speaker 3: know if you've seen it yet, but you come off
Speaker 3: great man.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I thought it was a lot, right,
Speaker 1: you know, all of the material that you asked me
Speaker 1: to work on for this one, right, because I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm always looking for my big break in features and you're.
Speaker 3: A natural and I can tell you workshop that thing
Speaker 3: for a week.
Speaker 2: Well I did.
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 1: I had to play the role of me and I'm
Speaker 1: not comfortable as this Meantania know, I'm just not comfortable
Speaker 1: with me anyway, So to play me was the real star.
Speaker 2: Was the fact that he kept you in the movie
Speaker 2: is a good sign, you know, I guess.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I think you'd be very happy. I really
Speaker 3: do well.
Speaker 1: I love the cast. I love all these guys in
Speaker 1: the cast. So this is a it's actually, you know,
Speaker 1: this is very funny. It's buddy games at spring Awakening.
Speaker 1: This is these guys, and I guess you go relive
Speaker 1: spring Break, but you realize it's not it's not how
Speaker 1: it used to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they they sort of accidentally happened upon
Speaker 3: spring Break. They they're they're one of their best friends,
Speaker 3: who was played by Dax Shepherd the first movie passes
Speaker 3: away at the opening of the movie, and part of
Speaker 3: your job in the beginning was to sort of tell
Speaker 3: the world because he was an up and coming actor
Speaker 3: and he was a guy who was had enough notoriety
Speaker 3: that he was able to have guys like Seacrest announce
Speaker 3: his passing. So in you know, right at the funeral,
Speaker 3: things sort of go off the rails and they end
Speaker 3: up stealing this earn because they disagreed with what the
Speaker 3: family was going to do with its ashes, and they
Speaker 3: sort of flee the funeral with the urn and a
Speaker 3: certainly end up at spring Break. I may find out
Speaker 3: soon soon after that that, you know, time has passed
Speaker 3: them by a bit, because the kids now don't party
Speaker 3: like they used to. You know, it's not it's not
Speaker 3: it's not beer bongs and elliot world.
Speaker 1: I just want to play a clip here of the
Speaker 1: movie Buddy Game Spring Wakening. Well investigations are still underway.
Speaker 1: Initial reports indicate that the Emergency Star was attempting as
Speaker 1: stunt to prepare for his upcoming role as Harry Houdini. Allegedly,
Speaker 1: mister Dunk, I don't want to give it away, but
Speaker 1: that's part of aust A live re enactment, and everybody.
Speaker 3: It was like live theater right there.
Speaker 1: I still got it, right, I got it, got it.
Speaker 1: So listen, bro, life just seems to be good.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: You're you're just sort of I feel like you got
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything that you wanted.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what you're you're you're you're right.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I've always dreamt about directing ever since I first got
Speaker 3: into the business. It was something that I felt like
Speaker 3: I could do. But you know, just just the acting.
Speaker 3: Getting into the business itself was a huge undertaking. And
Speaker 3: after all these years, I took a stab at it
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago and the movie went really
Speaker 3: well and we got another chance to make another one.
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't know what. I don't know
Speaker 3: if it's because of a control freak or what, but
Speaker 3: I just love the idea that I get to shape
Speaker 3: the story, you know, I get to tell something that
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, we're not making high art here. This
Speaker 3: is a really fun move. It's a dude comedy. But
Speaker 3: weirdly it scores higher with women than it does men,
Speaker 3: which I didn't.
Speaker 1: Because because they want to see what these guys are
Speaker 1: doing when they go on their boys trips.
Speaker 3: Well, no, what it means is they're just as naughty
Speaker 3: as we are, not more. But yeah, I had a
Speaker 3: great time. You know, I love these guys in the movie,
Speaker 3: Nick Schwartz and Kevin Dylan, Dan back at All, James
Speaker 3: ro Day and and Dox was so so generous in
Speaker 3: participating in the first one, and you know, we just
Speaker 3: we just have a lot of fun, you know. And
Speaker 3: and and it is sort of like I always love
Speaker 3: the idea of what would it be like to go
Speaker 3: back now as a middle aged man and and sort
Speaker 3: of accidentally drop in on one of these spring Break things.
Speaker 3: And it's true. I mean that they have been passed by,
Speaker 3: but you know what, they still hold their own. They
Speaker 3: still hold their own.
Speaker 1: Well, anybody it's got a visor, you know. I see
Speaker 1: that you gotta have a visor when you go back
Speaker 1: to spring Break.
Speaker 3: Well, that's a dead giveaway that you don't belong.
Speaker 1: Really, Josh Dumel with his buddy game Spring Awakening ins
Speaker 1: like theaters day.
Speaker 2: Brother.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the little cameo in there. It was
Speaker 1: so fun to do and continued happiness my brother.

Speaker 1: met in my entire life, and if I.
Speaker 2: Were tall, I would like to be him. Do you
Speaker 2: guys have the same vibe? Really, that's the nicest thing
Speaker 2: you've ever said to.
