Do you remember like how it was sort 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.080 of I mean because again it was eighth season, so 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.120 we were quite tight knit by that point. 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.080 There was a lot of feelings. There were a lot 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.440 of feelings I was going through. First off, believe it 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.440 or not, the first feeling was like and I was 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.480 not an avid watcher. I didn't know just how big 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.280 this show was. To be quite honest, I just was 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:13.600 They were like, we're putting you on the show, and 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:18.080 I'm like, okay, great, And coming off of the pilot 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.240 that I thought was going to change my life, I 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.680 was still in this feeling of disappointment of like I 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.760 had it all, Like I had the starring role on 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.720 a great show, like ridiculously funny writing, and now I'm 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.839 the lowest guy in the totem pole in this joining 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.680 this cast, and it's just it felt that part felt 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.440 I guess ego wise that just. 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.800 Like I mean, it's understandable. It's a huge disappointment. Yeah, 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:39.000 you know. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.599 So there's that feeling mixed with this is a family. 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:47.120 They're all super tight, and I, you know, where's my place? 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.120 So like where what can I say? What shouldn't I say? 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.520 Like you know, how vocal should I be? How quiet 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.400 should it? So there's this whole feeling out period. But 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:59.320 I will say this, two people in particular really welcomed 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.640 me in and the right people who should have One 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:07.880 was funny enough Bob, who always really like my person 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.280 on the show, except for that first episode where him 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.800 and I competed for the right I don't remembers guitar dual. 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.159 So we did start off, you know, working in a 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.599 in a big scene for me, my intro scene to 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:27.120 the show.

And I've had like five shows if you 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.520 can believe this, where I was number one on the 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:24.680 call sheet that didn't make it. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.640 You know, I absolutely can believe it, because that is 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.560 this business. So I mean, you know, it's not personal. 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:36.560 I just read I did a sitcom called Misguided Angels, 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.200 if you can believe this. We shot twenty six episodes 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:45.640 in Canada for Fox Family, and Fox Family had sold 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.840 to ABC became ABC Family right in that sale. Somehow 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.160 they didn't take the show and a twenty six episode 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.920 show never aired that was number one on the call sheet. 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.440 I'm like, here we go, Oh god man, you know, 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.920 and it aired foreign, like in Canada and the foreign countries. 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.520 But the Fox Family, which was the parent net, which 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:11.320 was the American Network, which again Steve Family, unfortunately just 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.840 never aired in America. It's the craziest thing. So you're 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.280 just like, you know, and I lost two years on 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.960 that show because you're making it in the your your producer. 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.880 You'll do another show, right, and then it's just like, 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:24.440 you know.

And this 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.160 staying power of this show I think is a testament 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.840 to just how good it is, because there were so 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:46.200 many good shows back in the nineties, great sitcoms that 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.920 were huge, that don't have this continuity of what's going on. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.400 Yeah, it's something I've always said that that that something 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.680 about our cast. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:57.520 There was some. 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:05.080 Little magical connection amongst us that we fell in love 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:09.760 with each other as a family, and and people watched 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.240 that and fell in love with with that family too, 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.880 And that doesn't always happen because the people behind the 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.720 characters aren't always a family and you and it, and 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:21.960 I think I just always say that, I think part 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.920 of what made people love this show was that those 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.760 relationships were one. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.600 Somehow. I was there for both finales. I was there 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.599 for the end of full House and the end of 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:42.160 Fuller House. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:42.720 Yeah. 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.520 The emotion, you know, the I you know, the crying 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.640 and the hugging and all of that was extremely real, 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.760 and you only get that when you're really truly a 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.520 family's for a long time. Yeah, I'm just really grateful 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:57.560 to be a part of both of those. 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.959 It's been it's been so much fun to I mean, 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:06.120 god to span careers, you know, with you, I mean, 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.040 it's just it's so cool to watch. I mean, you've 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.440 become such an incredibly successful producer with your with your company, 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:18.319 which is Ladigo Films, and just you're killing it. 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:23.160 Thanks. You know, we we we evolve, and you know, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.000 as the business changes, and I'm a little less young 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:27.960 and a little less cute, let's just say, and I 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:29.480 don't have the hair anymore. 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.760 It's like what can I look? 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.560 You look? You have an age today. So I mean, 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.839 the two of you, it's like we could be back 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:42.000 in nineteen ninety four. Yea. But you know, directing has 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.240 been a lot of fun. Writings on a bunch of 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.240 films I wrote that got released. So just the idea 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.720 that I could do these other things, yeah, and not 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.160 sit around waiting for the phone to ring, I think 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.680 was my way of not going crazy. That's really what 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.760 it was. It's just like I can't sit around. I'm 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.839 just not that guy. I have to be proactive. I 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.240 have to be doing something. So it's like, well, well 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:01.840 I'm waiting for the phone ring. Let me try some 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:06.040 other things and somehow producing maybe I found my best 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.880 my best asset in that. And and just because I 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.920 understand all the elements, you know, especially yeah, you know 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.680 what the actors are going through, what the crew are 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:14.160 going through. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:15.520 And it's true. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.560 It makes I always find it makes such a difference 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.120 when you have, you know, people on the other side 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.440 of the camera who have been in front of the 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.080 camera too, because it's you know, they are weirdly sort 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.680 of two different worlds, and and and a really great 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.640 director is able to bridge that and kind of understand. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.320 So let's do another one, Jody, Let's let's do it. 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:38.560 I'm in I'm next. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.320 Next you have to do a movie with an Olsen 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.840 twin to keep with the you know, the progression of 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:43.920 the Tanner sisters. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:45.360 And then you'll do one with me. 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:46.240 That's going to take a. 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.079 I thought. The last thing they said is we don't act. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.319 Well they don't. Yeah, they don't know, they don't know. 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.640 But told me, said them, if they do the show, 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.600 what did they say, we don't act, we don't act 0:13:58.720 --> 0:13:59.920 a billion dollar umpire. 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.440 I mean it, you know, I didn't all have to 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.360 be the little tap dancing people in the front. 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.079 Hey, yeah, Hey, some people make shoes. 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:09.880 That's true. You know what some people make. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.760 They think they just released, like a seven hundred dollars 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:13.319 flip flop. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:14.959 Wow from the row. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.240 Who's paying seven hundred dollars for a pair of flip. 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.360 A lot of people, diamonds, a lot of people. 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:21.520 Yeah. 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.520 Anyway, I mean, you know, hey, good for them. I 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:29.960 by mine at CBS. No, I don't, No, I'm not 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.160 quite that bad. I got a Costco, but the the Costco, 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.960 the little middle at the Costco flip flops. 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.560 I get my sneakers at the Costco. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:39.360 Love it. 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.680 David tell us about the Place of Bones. 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:46.160 I watched the trailer of Place of Bones and I 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.080 was terrified. I don't do horror. I don't do scary stuff. 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.600 Jody will probably love it. But tell us more about this, 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.440 and I love this movie. 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.320 I'm in love, in love, in love with this movie. 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.720 Heather Graham killed it. It's really it's nice to see 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.720 a female driven story to begin with from a female director. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.480 As you know, Jody, we went through that with Just 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:12.480 White and Elizabeth. I like seeing female directors direct female stars. 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:16.800 I feel like it's just smart to do that. And 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.920 Audrey Cummings as a Canadian female director, did an amazing job. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.680 And Tom Hopper, who doesn't Love the Umbrella Academy as 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:28.000 the villain. And we did a huge search for the 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.960 girl who played Heather Graham's daughter, and we found so 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.040 funny you shoot a movie in La. The whole point 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:35.680 of shooting a movie in LA. You don't have to 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.120 fly anybody in, you don't have to house them, you 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.120 don't have to pretty on them. It's your only savings 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.040 because everywhere else there's huge tax credits. Right, so it's 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.160 expensive to shoot here except for not flying people in 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.160 and putting them up. Heather Graham we had to fly 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.880 and put up from New York. Tom Hopper, we had 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.960 to fly in from London. That's a very expensive first place. 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.560 And then so we had to find the girl to play. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.520 Couldn't find a girl in La to play her daughter. No, 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.040 find a girl in Montreal. I hear it to play 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.960 a daughter. Kory Nemck, who I love, is an old 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.080 friend of mine. We've done a few movies together. He 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.480 played Calhoun. He lives in Florida. We fly him and 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.080 put him up bam and then Cowboy Donald SERRONI I'm 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.400 a I'm a big MMA fan. And he's one of 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:21.960 the winningest that's the word fighters in MMA history. And 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.320 and he's a real cowboy, like he actually rides the 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.200 horses and shoots the guns and does all that. So 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.440 to have an actual cowboy who calls himself cowboy in 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.160 a Western is really really big. So we got him 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:39.320 in and he lives in another place in Santa Fe, 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:43.560 New Mexico, is so like literally the only person who 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.520 lived here was me, you know. Our ur DP. Andre 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.800 Sekula is one of the most famous dps. He did 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:52.160 pulp fiction, Reservoir Dogs, American Psycho. He had to come 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.280 in from Poland. I can't. 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.280 Know there was there was There was never going to 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.120 be a place you could shoot with all these people. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.040 Well yeah, true, maybe. 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.440 From here, so you know, the sound guy came from Montana. 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.679 I just like it just didn't stop. So anyway, that 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:11.919 was where I was hanging the tarps on the We 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.480 shot in Kistaic, which is right next to America. 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:15.920 Oh yeah, you. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.119 Cannot here's the thing. You cannot duplicate a two hundred 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:23.560 acre mountainous ranch like we have in California for the 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.439 Wild West. Like, you're just not going to get that 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.280 somewhere else. It's just going to be a different movie. 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.080 So we had to shoot it here. We had to 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.320 deal with the rain. But I'm in love with this movie, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.240 so I hope people watch it. That comes out August 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.160 twenty third. I have three movies coming out in August. 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.919 It's a weird thing. August sixteenth, Crescent City, which I 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.520 produced on the ground with our company. It stars East 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:48.399 Sigh Morales, Terrence Howard, and Alec Baldwin, who yea was 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.800 just I guess they threw the case out of court, 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.960 so thanks for him. That's a whole other podcast to 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.440 get into about guns and safety. I don't use bullets 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.160 in any my I don't use blanks. 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.880 I don't A lot of productions don't now good. 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.320 I just do it and post Yeah. 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.960 I think that's now that that's not a lot of places. 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.600 Yeah, And that's how we did this entire Western by 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.119 the way, so when you watch this, not a single 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.040 blank was fired. I was all done in visual effects, 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:20.680 and then of course the movie I directed that I'm 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.159 a little partial to murder. Hollow Creed comes out August 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:27.800 sixth that stars Mickey Rourke and Jason Patrick. Jack Kessei, 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.560 who's the new hell Boy has a huge role in this, 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:35.680 Jessica Lord, who, funny enough, met Matt Rife on set, 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.160 who's also in the film. Yeah, very successful comedian right now, 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.439 who I just covered death Link and put him in 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:46.359 five movies including ours, Jody yea in our film. So 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.359 Matt is now like the biggest thing in stand up 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:49.440 which's oh my god. 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.840 I didn't even think about what was Matt was. 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.080 Matt was the one of the dates. He was the 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:56.720 trainer date. 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.879 That's right, Oh my god.

So he was one of the dates. 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.760 And I discovered him on death Link and said, this 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.439 guy is a star. Is everybody stupid? Like, I'm just 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.880 going to keep putting him in my movies for scale 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.679 until like someone realizes he's a star and he's like 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.240 he's like, man, I got to work this comedy club 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:25.800 for fifty dollars and I'm like, why are you wasting 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:27.360
