Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Meat Friday. Oh man,
Speaker 1: it looks good out there. We cooked chili on the
Speaker 1: Tregger and we have chili dogs coming up in about
Speaker 1: forty minutes or so. I've already said I got two.
Speaker 1: I'm taking two chili dogs today. I'm gonna splurge a
Speaker 1: little bit. Just saw this from Carl Ravage from the
Speaker 1: mother Ships Sources. Tell me baseball counter proposal today. We'll
Speaker 1: move towards a season of roughly seventy plus games with
Speaker 1: a salary percentage on the eighty to eighty five percent
Speaker 1: of pro rate playoff pool bonus. My concerns are recent
Speaker 1: spikes in COVID nineteen. Worst case scenario will be a
Speaker 1: start stop. Will players move? So that's Karl Ravage from
Speaker 1: the ESPN. All right, great, I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: what I keep telling you these proposals, but that's all
Speaker 1: they are. Their proposals. Seventy seventy five, eighty five. Just play.
Speaker 1: How about we just get back and play. Come on,
Speaker 1: let's go, and then we can figure this out. Because
Speaker 1: if you're going to force these players to come back
Speaker 1: that next negotiating session with the owners and the players
Speaker 1: after next season is not going to be pretty Yes,
Speaker 1: don you come back with eighty games? What's the next move? Well,
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like it feels like, well, they gave
Speaker 1: us a proposal, counter proposal. Now we have to counter
Speaker 1: their counter proposal with our counter counter proposal. And then
Speaker 1: here we go back and forth. Here we playing a
Speaker 1: game of negotiating ping pong. Yes, we love it. We're
Speaker 1: thrown around the word pro rata like we know what
Speaker 1: it means, by the way, said pro rate? I did.
Speaker 1: I thought Carl maybe had a misspelled pro rate. No,
Speaker 1: it's in all the stories and it's like handicap like
Speaker 1: we're about earlier. It's one of those words you use.
Speaker 1: It sort of sounds like something I guess it means
Speaker 1: like get yeah, pro rated? Oh is that okay? It's
Speaker 1: like a noun I had not sure pro rated. Why
Speaker 1: don't they just spell it pro p r o r
Speaker 1: at ed pro rated? This says, this says pro rata
Speaker 1: share is the amount due to each shareholder, calculated by
Speaker 1: simply dividing the ownership of each person by the total
Speaker 1: number of shares and then multiplying it, resulting fraction and
Speaker 1: the total amount of the dividend payment. What excuse doesn't
Speaker 1: this sum up baseball right now? It's just they're speaking
Speaker 1: a language that we, the fans, cannot understand. We can't
Speaker 1: a couple of phone calls in here, the very popular,
Speaker 1: talented Judd Apatow will join us. He gave us Bridesmaids.
Speaker 1: I watched Bridesmaids again last night, a little bit of it.
Speaker 1: That some funny stuff in there, funny stuff, and Judd
Speaker 1: did that forty year old virgin. I want to know
Speaker 1: if that was the only take they did. Was Steve
Speaker 1: Carell when he gets his chest waxed. I was told
Speaker 1: that he that was a one and done for Steve Carrell,
Speaker 1: and he basically wanted to give you the honest reaction
Speaker 1: to having his chest waxed. Has anybody had their chest
Speaker 1: waxed before in this room, Paulie, I have not, But
Speaker 1: I worked with NASCAR driver Tony Stewart and we did
Speaker 1: a charity thing on his old radio show and it
Speaker 1: came off as like a joke quin time. And then
Speaker 1: I think maybe Kevin Harvick called in said I'll give
Speaker 1: ten grand a charity if Tony Harvick waxes his chest
Speaker 1: and back and he was Harry, like Robin Williams Harry,
Speaker 1: and he did it on a national radio show. I
Speaker 1: think we raised one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: one night, and it was unbelievable. Tony was like, he
Speaker 1: looked like he's going to pass out. Fritzie. When you
Speaker 1: were bodybuilding, to do wax, I did it. I would
Speaker 1: shave a little bit with like a regular razor. I
Speaker 1: didn't go to a place or do a whole shave.
Speaker 1: I would shave like my arms and chest once in
Speaker 1: a while if it started getting a little too fluffy,
Speaker 1: and I liked the way it looked, obviously, when I
Speaker 1: actually had some muccio structure to me to get some
Speaker 1: of the hair off. Nick Levin, I haven't waxed up there.
Speaker 1: Oh your eyebrows, you mean, yeah, you know that's on me.
Speaker 1: That blame it on me, because I should have just
Speaker 1: mentioned that and then moved on with it. Didn't need
Speaker 1: to open it up to the group. Pete Carroll said
Speaker 1: yesterday at a press conference that he regrets not signing
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick years ago. And I have a couple of
Speaker 1: questions here. I don't know why I don't know if
Speaker 1: he really gave a reason why he didn't sign Colin Kaepernick.
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, I don't even think worked out, like physically
Speaker 1: did a workout for the Seahawks when he went there.
Speaker 1: But Pete Carroll said yesterday in NFL, I believe coach
Speaker 1: called him about Colin Kaepernick. And I started to think,
Speaker 1: why would a coach call Pete Carroll Colin Kaepernick? Because
Speaker 1: if he didn't work out, he didn't do a pro
Speaker 1: day for you, and he wasn't there he was there
Speaker 1: half a day, why would I talk Why would I
Speaker 1: call Pete Carroll and not Jim Harball. Feels like that
Speaker 1: would be the first place I'd go if I want
Speaker 1: to find out about Colin Kaepernick. How about I talk
Speaker 1: to Jim Harball, not Pete Carroll. I don't know what
Speaker 1: Pete knows about Colin Kaepernick other than they didn't bring
Speaker 1: him in. But Pete Carroll said that he regrets not
Speaker 1: bringing in Colin Kaepernick. I don't know. If he gets
Speaker 1: a job, he should get a job. If he can
Speaker 1: improve your team, if it's a football move, then he
Speaker 1: should get a job, or at least the opportunity. I
Speaker 1: don't want him brought in because we feel like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's play nice, or that makes something go away, or
Speaker 1: whatever it is. But I do think that if he
Speaker 1: gets an opportunity in today's NFL with his style, he
Speaker 1: was ahead of his time that he could be I'd
Speaker 1: bring him in as a backup. And if I'm Colin Kaepernick,
Speaker 1: I would want to be a backup if I have to.
Speaker 1: If I get back into the league, I can be
Speaker 1: a backup. Now I can prove to people, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: a professional. I'm going to go out there. All anybody's
Speaker 1: going to care about with Colin Kaepernick is as a backup.
Speaker 1: Are you going to protest? How are you going to protest?
Speaker 1: Is this going to be every press conference, every every
Speaker 1: city you go into. Do you do a conference call?
Speaker 1: You don't want your backup quarterback to be the most
Speaker 1: talked about player on your team. You're trying to manage
Speaker 1: this because you have to run a business. Tim Tebow
Speaker 1: is not in the league, and part of that is
Speaker 1: he was a very popular backup quarterback and overcovered. Now
Speaker 1: maybe if he's a tight end or an h back,
Speaker 1: then maybe he would he'd still be in the NFL.
Speaker 1: But you can't have your quarterback. It's like Johnny Manziel.
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel would never be a backup quarterback. Couldn't have
Speaker 1: him as a backup quarterback. Not possible. Certain personalities. Cam Newton,
Speaker 1: I don't see his a backup quarterback. And Colin Kaepernick,
Speaker 1: I can see him saying, all show you I can
Speaker 1: be a backup quarterback. I can do all the things
Speaker 1: you want to backup quarterback to do. I can get
Speaker 1: the starter ready and it gives you one year in
Speaker 1: the league, and then teams will look at this and say, hey,
Speaker 1: we know he can play. If we take away the
Speaker 1: political aspect of this, then we can bring him in.
Speaker 1: But that's why these owners aren't saying anything about a
Speaker 1: lot of this. They're nervous. They care about the fans
Speaker 1: more than they do their own players. Because players come
Speaker 1: and go. The fans they stay with you for generations.
Speaker 1: And that's why you have some of these owners. Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones hasn't even done his radio show in months. He
Speaker 1: always has something to say about everything, even if it's
Speaker 1: not his team. He hadn't said anything. A lot of
Speaker 1: these owners haven't said much because they don't know what
Speaker 1: the political landscape is going to be in September. That's
Speaker 1: why I brought it up last hour. Will we get
Speaker 1: to a point where the players who have been at
Speaker 1: the forefront of this say, now we have a new stage.
Speaker 1: Now we take this to a different level. Now we
Speaker 1: do something different when it comes to the game itself.
Speaker 1: Maybe we don't kneel because that was just back in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen to bring the cause to light. Now the
Speaker 1: cause is in the bright lights. And that's what I
Speaker 1: wonder about three months from now, where are we with this?
Speaker 1: Where players are with their activism, Where are we with
Speaker 1: the owners, Where are we with fans? Where are we
Speaker 1: with Colin Kaepernick? Three months is an eternity right now
Speaker 1: when you think about where we were three months ago
Speaker 1: with the pandemic and where we are right now. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get to phone calls here. Jut up Apataw will
Speaker 1: join us, coming up a little bit. Chris mad Dog
Speaker 1: Russo joined us in the first hours. It was great
Speaker 1: to talk to Chris. He's a legend in the business.
Speaker 1: And when you think of sports talk radio, they did
Speaker 1: a thirty for thirty on Mike and the Mad Dog.
Speaker 1: That's how big these guys were. For a few decades
Speaker 1: in New York City, so it was nice to have
Speaker 1: Chris in. They sort of invented the whole concept of
Speaker 1: sports talk radio when you have a tandem there, and
Speaker 1: those guys did it at a very high level for
Speaker 1: a long time. Patrick and Denver joins us Hi. Patrick,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? Hey? Dan? First,
Speaker 1: I wan to thank you for your comments on the
Speaker 1: Confederate flag and the kneeling protest this week. But this
Speaker 1: week a sports analyst said that it's possible there's zero
Speaker 1: racism in sports today. Yesterday he said Colin Kaepernick hasn't
Speaker 1: been in the NFL due to a lack of talent.
Speaker 1: Last year, he said Colin Kaepernick wasn't in the NFL
Speaker 1: because he doesn't understand XS and o's. If you don't
Speaker 1: know how I'm talking about by now, I'm talking about
Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb. He also has controversial stances on praising Donald
Speaker 1: Trump during the anthem protest to begin with Vic Fangio,
Speaker 1: Adrian Beltre, the Rich Paul Rule, Drew Breeses comment, Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson's draft profile, true bisky over Watson and Mahomes. When
Speaker 1: talking about George Floyd this week, he made it sound
Speaker 1: like a rogue incident, citing the offers officers filed complaints.
Speaker 1: He has no journalistic integrity or it's something worse. He
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve to be a guest on your show with
Speaker 1: true integrity, to be along with you and the Danets.
Speaker 1: But I do have a follow up question. You mentioned
Speaker 1: during the Doug Williams interview about how racism in the
Speaker 1: NFL today it's more covert. Do you mean that's like
Speaker 1: more like a top down effect from the owner or
Speaker 1: decision to organizationally a piece of fans. Thanks well, thank you, Patrick.
Speaker 1: And look, I'm not here to you know, promote Doug
Speaker 1: or defend Doug. I'd have to hear the concept. And
Speaker 1: you know what called Doug show. Those are those are
Speaker 1: his opinions, then those you know, those are opinions I
Speaker 1: don't agree with, but those are his opinions. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'd have to hear it in Contextum, what's the other
Speaker 1: part of this, Oh, the covert part of this? You know,
Speaker 1: I just think that these businessmen are running a business here,
Speaker 1: and I think that when you look at the covert
Speaker 1: racism that's there, you start with the assistant coaches, how
Speaker 1: many get to become a head coach. How many get
Speaker 1: to become a GM a league that's over sixty percent
Speaker 1: African American, But how many jobs do we have for
Speaker 1: African Americans in coaching and being a head coach? So
Speaker 1: it feels like it's a little bit more covert. Doug Williams.
Speaker 1: We had him on and Doug was talking about it
Speaker 1: was overt, like had people that somebody sent him a
Speaker 1: piece of watermelon in a box. People were sending him letters.
Speaker 1: He said. A woman was holding a stuffed animal on
Speaker 1: a string as if to hang Doug Williams. This is
Speaker 1: a guy who led Tampa Bay to the playoffs and
Speaker 1: they went to the NFC title game. An awful franchise.
Speaker 1: The laughing stock of the NFL was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: And here's Doug Williams. And you know, these fans didn't
Speaker 1: want a black head coach or black quarterback, and now
Speaker 1: we have. When I was growing up, it was, you know,
Speaker 1: blacks aren't smart enough to be the head coach or
Speaker 1: the quarterback. That was that was what people would say.
Speaker 1: They were overt about it. They didn't hide it. They
Speaker 1: just didn't think they had the mental capacity to play
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. And that's why you had a
Speaker 1: lot of these quarterbacks who were great in college went
Speaker 1: to the CFL because they got a chance, or the AFL,
Speaker 1: or they changed positions. It was more overt back then.
Speaker 1: Now it's more covert. But I don't speak on Doug
Speaker 1: Gottlieb's behalf his beliefs, whatever his takes are, that's not
Speaker 1: part of my job. Ted and Tampa joins us. Hey, Ted, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he Dan. I got two points again. It's all about
Speaker 1: the old line. Doug Williams, Trid Dilfert, terrible, terrible old
Speaker 1: lines here in Tampa went to other teams at all
Speaker 1: won Super bowls. Second point is you got to buy
Speaker 1: the book No Ordinary Dog. It's about the Beltian Melanoi
Speaker 1: that went in on the Bin Library and you'll absolutely
Speaker 1: love it. It's a tremendous book written by a Navy seal. Awesome. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Ted. We got to get an offensive line.
Speaker 1: If Tampa has a good offensive line, I won't hear
Speaker 1: from Ted this year. But if they have a bad
Speaker 1: offensive line, I'm going to hear from Ted probably weekend
Speaker 1: and week out. Yes, mcvin, did you see there was
Speaker 1: helicopter footage. I mean, it's amazing, Brady. Yeah they got
Speaker 1: aw he's whipping that team in this shape. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: has a workout. And this is when remember when Farv
Speaker 1: went to Minnesota and you had the helicopter the suv.
Speaker 1: It was it was right out of a movie. Well
Speaker 1: I think Morgan Freeman started in that movie or something.
Speaker 1: But it always here's all that, like seven SUVs, helicopters
Speaker 1: coming by, And that was for far of when he
Speaker 1: went to Minnesota. But yeah, Brady, they had a helicopter
Speaker 1: flying over while he's doing his workouts. There. Live sports
Speaker 1: this weekend had golf, yesterday we got soccer boxing, Like
Speaker 1: all right, I'm good. You know, we keep talking about
Speaker 1: the new normal if this is now normal, Like we
Speaker 1: keep talking all now it's the new normal and what
Speaker 1: we were going through. When do we get to what
Speaker 1: is normal? And I don't know if it's sort of
Speaker 1: a hybrid here, and maybe I'm asking too much to say, well,
Speaker 1: is this what it's going to be like or what's
Speaker 1: three months down the road going to be like? And
Speaker 1: I brought this up in the first hour because I
Speaker 1: think the NBA, while they mean well, to get everybody
Speaker 1: in Orlando in three months from now, two and a
Speaker 1: half months from now, could we have the Eastern Conference
Speaker 1: in Western Conference finals, in those two cities, in the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference and in the Western Conference, Because I don't
Speaker 1: need to have everybody under a bubble for three months there.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're safe in the bubble or
Speaker 1: outside the bubble. But let's say the Bucks played Toronto
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference Finals. You go Toronto to Milwaukee,
Speaker 1: you get quarantined, and you're on a private plane. And
Speaker 1: let's say it's the Lakers against the Rockets, back and forth,
Speaker 1: private plane, quarantine, and it feels like then you're acknowledging
Speaker 1: and rewarding the teams with a home court advantage, a
Speaker 1: true home court advantage, because I think we're gonna be
Speaker 1: looking and feeling different in about two months here. And
Speaker 1: that's why I don't need all the games in Orlando.
Speaker 1: I don't need all those teams there. I like how
Speaker 1: they're practicing safety, But then why don't we send six
Speaker 1: more teams to Orlando. That doesn't make any sense. They're
Speaker 1: trying to make up the money, is what they're trying
Speaker 1: to do. I said, let's have ten five ten teams,
Speaker 1: five in each You know you want to have sixteen, okay,
Speaker 1: but you can't tell me you're worried about safety when
Speaker 1: we invite six more teams. I know they're not there
Speaker 1: for the long haul. But then if you got a
Speaker 1: play in, remember there's the possibility of playing games. I'm
Speaker 1: just one little voice here, one little voice. All right,
Speaker 1: more phone calls coming up. What's pull question, McLevin? All right?
Speaker 1: Went would you rather win five non majors or one major?
Speaker 1: At a runaway? It's eighty three percent say the major.
Speaker 1: Now I'm being reminded that remember after the Eagles signed
Speaker 1: Michael Vick, he was the backup for Donovan McNabb. The
Speaker 1: Eagles traded away McNabb and then they had Kevin Cobb
Speaker 1: as the starter. Vic again as the backup. Cobb got hurt.
Speaker 1: That was Week one and too soon, Sorry about that.
Speaker 1: Vic became the starter, had a great season. He needed
Speaker 1: a couple ways to break in as the starter. You know,
Speaker 1: even when McNabb went, Cobb got the job, Then Cobb
Speaker 1: got hurt, then Michael Vick got a chance. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: what you know, Colin Kaepernick, we'll have to deal with
Speaker 1: that will be pretty much this scenario, somebody who have
Speaker 1: to get hurt for him to get an opportunity to
Speaker 1: plug if he's brought in. All right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 1: Jod Appatow is a new movie. It's based off of
Speaker 1: Pete davidson Saturday Night Live stand up comedian and it's
Speaker 1: called The King of Staten Island. We'll talk to Judd
Speaker 1: about that, but also some of the great movies that
Speaker 1: he is written for, produced, directed, and more of your

Speaker 1: and it starts Pete Davidson, Maurissa Toomai and the great
Speaker 1: comedian Bill Burr. It's called The King of Staten Island.
Speaker 1: And here is Judd Appetl, the writer, director, producer of
Speaker 1: the movie. Hello, how are you? I'm well, how are you, sir?
Speaker 1: Look at that hair here? Oh my god? Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: look at you. Yeah, let yourself go. I thought I
Speaker 1: let beautiful direction there. If they knew castaway too. I
Speaker 1: think you're ready wet, all dressed up for this? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: hey you can show some cleavage. I'm all right then,
Speaker 1: come on, it's good. I'm taping it, so I'm ready.
Speaker 1: If you are somethings hanging, I gotta make sure. Come on, look,
Speaker 1: what's let me let's see I do okay, I mean
Speaker 1: you have daughters, your wife. Didn't anybody help you today?
Speaker 1: No one helps me, No one cares. How I looked
Speaker 1: at it. I was wondering about this. Comedian started, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: you're ready to start in three and three two writer, Producer, director, comedian.
Speaker 1: If I said you can only have one title, yes,
Speaker 1: which one? I guess writer, I guess it all starts there.
Speaker 1: I'll say that, wait, why not? Comedian? Comedian is close
Speaker 1: as well. But with comedian, you know, I get comedian.
Speaker 1: But with writer, it's connected to a bunch of other things.
Speaker 1: Is it's comedian comedian, let's switch it. How often do
Speaker 1: you get a neighbor who wants to pitch something to
Speaker 1: you or try to be funny to you. It's pretty
Speaker 1: rare because I think it takes some courage to pitch
Speaker 1: a funny joke or movie idea, and usually when somebody does,
Speaker 1: it doesn't go well. I used to do this thing
Speaker 1: on stage where I would say to the crowd, I
Speaker 1: will listen to your pitches for movies, and I would
Speaker 1: bring three people on stage. I would say, pitch me
Speaker 1: your movie ideas, and they were always insane. No, we've
Speaker 1: ever had a good one. They were all crazy. But
Speaker 1: that would be That would be a great show. I
Speaker 1: would love to see you on stage with people doing
Speaker 1: their pitches. I think we just made a show. I
Speaker 1: think we did right. I think, did I just pitch
Speaker 1: you a show that got green light? I think it's
Speaker 1: as greenlit as that mint sweat figure. It's not a sweatsuit,
Speaker 1: it's just a top. I don't have pants to go
Speaker 1: along with it. I think this is why comedians hang
Speaker 1: out with comedians Judd, because you want to. You don't
Speaker 1: want to hear other people try to be funny. Yes,
Speaker 1: like non funny people. Comedians like to hang out with
Speaker 1: funny people. Do you think that's that's fair. I think
Speaker 1: that's true. It's rare that a good comedian wants to
Speaker 1: hang out with a terrible, unfunny comedian. That's why you
Speaker 1: see like groups of comedians who hang out together because
Speaker 1: they so enjoy a good joke that if someone's really
Speaker 1: not good at hanging and being funny, they really exclude them.
Speaker 1: It's brutal. Sandler is really good at that. It's kind
Speaker 1: of a generous laugh. Like I don't know if it's real,
Speaker 1: but when he hangs with us, he's really good at
Speaker 1: just sort of a fake laughter. I would say this,
Speaker 1: he must find you funny, he wants you around. I
Speaker 1: think that's real laughter. I think that's due to sports,
Speaker 1: jud not comedy. Oh, you think he like he tolerates
Speaker 1: you trying to be funny, to have fun sports talk
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, this is possible. This you may you
Speaker 1: may have figured something out right there. Yeah, unfortunately. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right. How long does it take before you have
Speaker 1: the idea of this movie The King of Staten Island,
Speaker 1: before you actually start writing a script? Well, Pete Davidson
Speaker 1: and I met when we were doing train Wreck. He
Speaker 1: did a cameo, and after his cameo, Bill Hayter liked
Speaker 1: him so much he recommended him to Lauren Michaels and
Speaker 1: he got Saturday Night Live. This is in two thousand
Speaker 1: and fourteen, six years ago, so we've been working on
Speaker 1: it since then. We worked on a different movie. I
Speaker 1: gave him an idea for a movie to write that
Speaker 1: turned out to be a terrible idea and he probably
Speaker 1: wasted two years on a bad goofy idea. And then
Speaker 1: we were like, I guess we should think of a
Speaker 1: better idea. And then slowly we started talking about doing
Speaker 1: something much more personal that came from his life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's not loosely based on his life. It's based
Speaker 1: on his life from what I've read about Pete. Well,
Speaker 1: Pete his father was a firefighter who died on nine
Speaker 1: to eleven and that was very traumatic. He was seven
Speaker 1: years old when that happened, and we talked about creating
Speaker 1: a fictional story that could get to all the real
Speaker 1: emotions and how it affected his family. So, you know,
Speaker 1: in the movie he plays a slacker, pothead going nowhere
Speaker 1: in life and in real life, you know, pizza guy
Speaker 1: who was on Saturday Night Live by the time he
Speaker 1: was twenty, So there are big differences. But within the
Speaker 1: story you get to a lot of deep emotional stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you get that dead father joke out of the
Speaker 1: way or early in the in the movie. But was
Speaker 1: that by design, like let's let's take it out of
Speaker 1: the room here. I think that it happened instinctually. Ricky Villez,
Speaker 1: who's a great comedian who is a friend of Pete's,
Speaker 1: was in a scene early in the movie, and we
Speaker 1: knew we wanted to show that his friends think it's
Speaker 1: okay to joke about the fact that his dad is dead,
Speaker 1: because obviously Pete's character is lying. He isn't over it,
Speaker 1: but he tells them he's over it, and then Ricky improvised,
Speaker 1: you know, knock knock, who's there not your dad. But
Speaker 1: I also think he only had the courage that improvise
Speaker 1: that joke because he's one of Pete's best friends, and
Speaker 1: he knew that that is the kind of joke that
Speaker 1: they would tell with each other, because only your closest
Speaker 1: friends would go that dark. The movie is The King
Speaker 1: of Staten Island. We're talking to a Judd Apataal, the producer, writer, director,
Speaker 1: comedian who joins us on the program. I found it
Speaker 1: interesting the reaction to Bill Burr, who plays Marissa toomay
Speaker 1: Mirsatoma is Pete Davidson's mom and Bill Burr is a
Speaker 1: firefighter who starts dating her. And then people's reaction was, God,
Speaker 1: Bill Burr's good at being serious. And I said, well,
Speaker 1: if you think about the premise of stand up comedy,
Speaker 1: it is really based on drama in a comedian's life
Speaker 1: and darkness. They just have the ability. Comedians have the
Speaker 1: ability to make it funny. So why wouldn't you know
Speaker 1: Sandler in Uncut Gems people are like, I didn't know
Speaker 1: he could be Robin Williams. The same way that ability
Speaker 1: to we they deal with drama, they just make their
Speaker 1: drama funny for us. I thought Burr was really, really,
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, he is a great actor and a
Speaker 1: big hearted guy. So you know someone like that who's
Speaker 1: opinionated and has that bluster, and then when you slowly
Speaker 1: see his heart and you see how much he cares
Speaker 1: about Pete, it's very moving and we were all blown
Speaker 1: away by his performance. And at the same time, you know,
Speaker 1: we love his stand up. He's like a fierce, ridiculously
Speaker 1: legendary comedian. Which the movie you wish people ask you
Speaker 1: more about. I'm always about walk Hard. I love walk
Speaker 1: Hard John c Riley. It was a parody of Walk
Speaker 1: the Line and Ray and music biopics. And what's funny
Speaker 1: is after the movie about Queen came out, there were
Speaker 1: a lot of articles about walk Hard that basically said,
Speaker 1: this movie is doing all the tropes that were in
Speaker 1: Walk Hard, And suddenly all these articles like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: I think walk Hard might be great. It's that just
Speaker 1: silly movie. It really makes me laugh. It's just I
Speaker 1: don't do that many movies that are just like airplane
Speaker 1: type joke fests. And every time it's on, it's the
Speaker 1: only one of the movies I've worked on that I
Speaker 1: won't watch a lot of it because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of little jokes that make me laugh a lot. And
Speaker 1: then there's people like Eddie Vetter and Jack White and
Speaker 1: Jackson Brown and go Face Hilla and I love movies
Speaker 1: with a lot of candidos like that. But when you
Speaker 1: know you have something special, how deep into the process.
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you're shooting, you feel like I think it's happening.
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like this is coming together. But
Speaker 1: when you really know is I asked the editors every
Speaker 1: day to send me the cuts of what they edited
Speaker 1: that day, So while I'm shooting, I get links to
Speaker 1: the scenes from earlier in the week, and usually you
Speaker 1: could just tell if there's chemistry between all of the
Speaker 1: actors and actresses and if and sometimes some of the
Speaker 1: scenes are great and you're like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: think you know, Correll getting his chess wax is really funny,
Speaker 1: because you don't know if you cut it together if
Speaker 1: by being crazy funny and you get very excited. Is
Speaker 1: that improved in any way? When Karel gets waxed in
Speaker 1: forty year Virgin, I mean it's all improvised. We put
Speaker 1: four cameras on him and we just waxed him, and
Speaker 1: the funny thing is we looked for an actress who
Speaker 1: also was a professional hair waxer. So we hired this
Speaker 1: woman to do it, and I think she lied and
Speaker 1: was not a professional hair waxer because she put some
Speaker 1: of the wax over his nipple and I think she
Speaker 1: came like that close to tearing off his nipple. I
Speaker 1: mean he was covered in blood by But you had
Speaker 1: all of those comedians with cameos. Like bringing all of
Speaker 1: those people together and making them shine has to I
Speaker 1: don't know the challenge of doing that. You know, it's
Speaker 1: less challenging when they're great. There's always people that you
Speaker 1: love who haven't had giant opportunities yet. You know. At
Speaker 1: that time, you know, we knew Jane Lynch from Best
Speaker 1: in Show and we thought, well, she's as funny as
Speaker 1: human being get And Craig Robinson just started on the
Speaker 1: Office only I think maybe six episodes that aired at
Speaker 1: that point. Mindy Kaling was on the Office as well,
Speaker 1: and you know, Kevin Hart did a small part in
Speaker 1: The forty Old Virgin Romney Malco is a big Jonah Hill.
Speaker 1: Jonah Hill has a little part. So we just pick
Speaker 1: people that crack us up and that we love and
Speaker 1: then we hope they have a great moment, and in
Speaker 1: that movie, weirdly so many of them really grabbed them
Speaker 1: their moment. But can you write around And I don't
Speaker 1: know the process, so if I sound ignorant, then correct me.
Speaker 1: But can you write around four or five really great
Speaker 1: moments like Bridesmaids when you have Maya out there with
Speaker 1: their wedding dress and she's you know, has to use
Speaker 1: the bathroom? Like, can you write around that? And then
Speaker 1: you find another scene that you write around like three
Speaker 1: or four of those and you can make a movie
Speaker 1: out of that Or is that maybe stripping this down
Speaker 1: too much? Well, I'd like to look at it like
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make a great dramatic movie. If if
Speaker 1: I can get the drama to work, then I can
Speaker 1: find a way to make it funny. I think if
Speaker 1: you start with the funny stuff, it's usually bad and
Speaker 1: you can feel the story and the emotions just jammed
Speaker 1: in later. We've all seen those movies where people are
Speaker 1: just going nuts and there's not much of a story,
Speaker 1: and I think those are much harder to get to
Speaker 1: work than if you're really emotionally invested in something. Favorite
Speaker 1: comedy that you watched Growing Up. Well, when I was
Speaker 1: growing up, I love The Jerks as a kid, but
Speaker 1: you ilie Steve Martin, right, Yes, I mean I talked
Speaker 1: like him for years as a child, and The Jerk
Speaker 1: was like my dream because I was a big fan
Speaker 1: of his and then suddenly they're like, oh, he's gonna
Speaker 1: make a movie, and then to me, The Jerk was
Speaker 1: my dream of what that movie could possibly be. So
Speaker 1: that was a big movie for me when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, and then I think as a kid, Fast
Speaker 1: Times a Ridgemond High was very inspirational because it was
Speaker 1: both really funny but had a lot of grounded elements
Speaker 1: in it. There's a lot of credibility to it as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah you're trying to And it's weird how those things
Speaker 1: kind of form what you think humor is. Because when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, I always thought, well, Bill Murray
Speaker 1: is funny, and so I gravitated towards that sense of humor.
Speaker 1: And then Robin Williams came along and I went, no,
Speaker 1: he's too over the top. He's got to be like
Speaker 1: Bill Murray. And I don't know if you approach things
Speaker 1: in a well Steve Martin was a cerebral way of
Speaker 1: looking at comedy. Well, there were people that I thought
Speaker 1: were funny that I thought I don't know how to
Speaker 1: be funny like that. So I would see people like
Speaker 1: Paul Reiser and Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno and think,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm kind of like those guys. I'm from
Speaker 1: Long Island. I could relate. And then there were people
Speaker 1: I really worship. You'd like all the Monty Python people
Speaker 1: and Steve Martin or John Belushi, and I would think, well,
Speaker 1: they're great, but I don't think I'm funny in the
Speaker 1: way that they're funny. I'm different. I couldn't pull that off.
Speaker 1: You always do cameos, or at least there's always small cameos.
Speaker 1: There is this year Alfred Hitchcock approach where you're going
Speaker 1: to be in there and we have to spot you
Speaker 1: a cab driver or whatever it might be. I haven't
Speaker 1: done that, you know. I was in the Disaster Artist.
Speaker 1: They asked me to play like a like a nasty
Speaker 1: producer who yelled at James Franco in the movie. And
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I could do that, like jerk
Speaker 1: Hollywood producer. And I did the scene and then I
Speaker 1: saw the movie and in the credits it said Judd
Speaker 1: Apatow as himself, when you were first pitched Lebron, M
Speaker 1: what was your reaction to? How do I make this work?
Speaker 1: How do I make him look good? When we were
Speaker 1: forty working on the draft, you know, Amy, you know,
Speaker 1: was riding Bill Hayter as a sports medicine doctor, and
Speaker 1: then the idea came up, what if his best friend
Speaker 1: is a gig antic star athlete, And immediately Lebron's name
Speaker 1: came up, with no thought that that was possible. Usually
Speaker 1: you start with Lebron and then you just keep, you know,
Speaker 1: going down and down. You go to like eighty people
Speaker 1: to get to whatever you can get. Bill said, he
Speaker 1: just did SNL and I think he had a really
Speaker 1: good time. Let's ask him. And we went to a
Speaker 1: Laker game Bill and I and then we said hi
Speaker 1: to him afterwards, and the next day we went to
Speaker 1: lunch with him, and I always remember how exhausted he
Speaker 1: seemed after the game. It's the next day and I thought, wowy,
Speaker 1: they really leave it all on the floor. And then
Speaker 1: his teammates kept walking up and saying hello at the
Speaker 1: restaurant in the hotel, and they all seemed exhausted, and
Speaker 1: I thought, man, it's a hard job. You know, they're
Speaker 1: they're recovering right now. And then we told him the
Speaker 1: joke like you're the Bruno Kirby and when Harry met
Speaker 1: Sale and he just thought that was hysterical. But he's
Speaker 1: the best friend, and the joke is that he cares
Speaker 1: and he's really tracking the really and really cares, and
Speaker 1: he was hysterical. I mean, he's a very talented actor
Speaker 1: and he has got a great sense of humor. That
Speaker 1: wasn't like me spoon feeding anything. That was genuinely him
Speaker 1: being riotously funny. The movie is The King of Staten Island,
Speaker 1: starring Pete Davidson. It will be available on demand. By
Speaker 1: the way, Marissa Toomay spectacular, nice casting. There always always great.
Speaker 1: You can't go wrong there, no, you can hear her.
Speaker 1: Then people think you're a good director, but it's just her. Friday,
Speaker 1: June twelfth, it will be available. It's the King of
Speaker 1: Staten Island. Good luck with a movie, Jutt. It's always
Speaker 1: great to talk to you, and I just want to
Speaker 1: let you know that I do see other directors and
Speaker 1: producers behind Sandler's back, so I don't need to be
Speaker 1: tied to the Sandler franchise. I'm just saying. I mean,
Speaker 1: this isn't an offer. This is just an announcement, that's all.
Speaker 1: This is. Jut that just that's one of those stars
Speaker 1: you know when like you know, Paramount would lend out
Speaker 1: ye out of their contract. I'm gonna have to talk
Speaker 1: to Saidler and borrow you. Well, I did ask Sadler
Speaker 1: when I die. Do you think at the Academy Awards,
Speaker 1: I get up there on the immemorium. I think you're
Speaker 1: an actor. You should be well, I'm in eighteen movies
Speaker 1: so far. Like, what is the cutoff point for in Memoriam?
Speaker 1: I think eight. James Dean was in three. Judd, that's it.
Speaker 1: I think you should tell them now. I expect that
Speaker 1: make it clear. I'm going to send him a good
Speaker 1: picture of me right now, just so they can use that. Hey,
Speaker 1: I love the movie. I thought it was wonderful. A
Speaker 1: lot of laugh out loud moments and thank you and
Speaker 1: Maud did great, Yes, your daughter did great? Yes, yeah
Speaker 1: it should be thank you Judd, all right, take care
Speaker 1: see dad, that's Judd Apotel. It's the King of Staten Island.
Speaker 1: My wife's so excited to watch this because she's from
Speaker 1: Staten Island, grow up on Staten Island. Born in Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: but grew up on Staten Island. So she's like, she
Speaker 1: thinks it's going to be the showcase of Staten Island.
Speaker 1: And I got a chance to watch the movie, and
Speaker 1: so I said, you know, it comes out on Friday,
Speaker 1: and if you want to get it on demand, and
Speaker 1: she goes, I'm going to I'm going. She hasn't gotten
Speaker 1: through the Sandler movie Uncut Gems. She had to take
Speaker 1: a break because she said, I was holding my breath
Speaker 1: because it's so intense. She stopped halfway through it. Yeah, Poy.
Speaker 1: I know two people who watched Uncut Gems the Sandler movie.
Speaker 1: One of them said, it's awesome. I didn't know. I
Speaker 1: did not see that coming. The other person said the
Speaker 1: same thing. It's too anxiety. It exacerbates that our anxiety.
Speaker 1: And it was uncomfortable to watch, but not in a
Speaker 1: bad way, more like an intense experience way. You're exhausted
Speaker 1: and you don't realize that you're holding your breath with
Speaker 1: Sandler and what he's doing in this role. But Pete
Speaker 1: Davidson Merrissa Toomay as soon as I saw her, like,
Speaker 1: I had to smile on my face because you think
Speaker 1: of my cousin Vinny like Marissa Toomay, and she wanted
Speaker 1: an Academy Award for that role. I believe my cousin Vinny.
Speaker 1: I don't know I was best supporting actress, but she
Speaker 1: was wonder She's great in this movie. Bill Burr is too.
Speaker 1: Bill Burr's really good. Take a break, last call for

Speaker 1: but I don't know exactly what that means. That's what
Speaker 1: happens when you have somebody who knows and then they
Speaker 1: sort of tell you. And then when I pressed them,
Speaker 1: like wait, wait, wait, what do you mean by that?
