Love Goon. American Pie we talk about. We talk about life. We talk about a little depression. I appreciate everybody listening. And, you know, Jason, I think we should get into this. Let's get into it. Let's get inside of Sean William Scott.

It's my point of view. You're listening to Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum. Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum was not recorded in front of a live studio audience. Well, it's good to see you, man. I don't, you know, we met. I know we've met a couple times, but like, how long? How long? I've been thinking the same thing.

I was like, I know we've met, but I was like, when and it was definitely a long time ago um yeah probably yeah it probably had something to do with either the w b wonder brother c w b c w or something but back in the day i was probably doing small but i think you were doing happily ever after or something you did an episode or so did you yeah but wait that's when we met that was like 25 years ago i'm telling you i'm telling you and i remember that was the best work by the way unhappily ever after dude you should see some of my work on Zoe Duncan Jack and Jane. That was some work. Or the Tom Arnold show. That really did it. Now look, I'm very grateful and it was awesome. But I looked back and I was just talking to

Vincent DiNafrio name drop. And I was just talking to him about this. And he was like he was looking at some of his old work. And he was like, what this fucking idiot? Look at you. Look at him just like in this interview's all over the place. He's like, who are you? It's the, ugh. And I'm like, well, that's who you were then he's like i know i know but wait is he so he's he like will watch he still watches old stuff and just get down on himself could you imagine vincent nonofrio by himself in his house just watching old clips of himself i can't imagine tv screens just like everything's just playing out a loop from all of his old work he's like fuck you suck there you suck there what were you doing dummy and intensely intensely now what do

Because I was doing my impression of him on law and order criminal intent and he's just, he's freaking unbelievable. Like he brings it. I remember watching it and going, I was just going through channels like, oh, I like Vincent and Afrio, what's this? Oh, it's law and order. And then you hear him go, yesterday you, there was this thing you were. And he was doing this thing.

And I'm like, oh, my God, I can't stop watching him. And then he talks That was a really good impression of him. That was awesome. It was kind of like I fluctuate because it's a little Malcovich too. No, what you couldn't know,

Sean William Scott is that, you know, he does this thing. I do it all the time. People are probably like, shut the fuck up and talk to Sean. Way on. Jesus.

Thanks for being here, man. Man, thanks for having me on. This is great. I've wanted you on this for a long time. You were one of those guys that always made me laugh. And just,

I'm happy for your success, but I have to be honest, I was envious, jealous. I was going up for a lot of the roles. Dude, where's my car and all this shit? And you got it. And I was like, God, he's better looking. That's why. That's not true. And by the way, you would have been way better at all.

I had no idea. You know how it is? It's like you just focus on just trying to get a job. And then, you know, you get it and you just do the best you can. You forget about like all the other actors who would have been way better playing the part. No, no, no. You, the thing. is with you is you commit you you like go for it balls out whatever you're doing and what i love is like

and i don't want to talk about this is the wrath of becky which you know you're promoting and a lot of times i always tell the guess i'm like sometimes i don't even want to talk about it because i'm like i didn't like something or i'm it's hard for me to be honest you know or hard hard for me to lie but um or i'll do it in a very cool way where it doesn't come across i'll be like oh man this is like but this I couldn't stop watching to the point where I was like writing down things that really cracked me up

and what's dark as shit this is fucking dark man thank you I yeah I'm really it is one of those rare movies for I'm actually like excited and proud to talk about it but I was going to say by the way thank you so much I'm so grateful

that you liked it because it would be awkward I know I know what it's like because I remember remember a story I was at a premiere I don't want to say the movie just because of people that were in it and I don't want to be buffed but

it was at the man theater in Hollywood and it was so bad the movie's so bad I'm in the movie so bad I had my family in town for it and then it's just like the energy in the theater was terrible you could just tell everybody was embarrassed or ashamed

that you they felt But then afterwards, the worst part is at the party, people didn't know what to say. So you really know when somebody genuinely didn't like your movie is when they usually say, like, it looked like you had a lot of fun making it. Or if they go like, so what do you have coming up next, you know? Yeah. So I'm glad that this makes it less awkward for both of us that you actually like the movie. Well, I call it fun comfortable.

That's what we call it. What's that? I call it fun comfortable. that's kind of like you know it's like it's i've been in those situations and i told this story but ryan knows he always looks at me and goes uh yeah my brian's here um but i did this one movie and my buddy dack shepherd came to the movie and he's in the screening and uh i had to sit with some other no yeah he was sitting like four people over for me and i had to sit with somebody else and he texts me in the middle of the movie and i was looking at my phone because

i wasn't that interested really in the movie and he says but this movie is so bad I can't believe I'm not in it that's awesome I've done a lot of fun comfortable movies by the way yes I mean it's just it's part for the course and you know it's kind of sad there's a sad element because when you're a kid or a teenager or aspiring actor

you're like I just want to work I want to do something I don't you don't care about fame as much or about success of the of a movie or a show. You're just like, I just want to work. I want to be a working actor. And then you do a project and it's not enough. It's not enough that you made a movie and you got paid for it. And it actually was in a theater or on screen. But now you're thinking, oh, it didn't do well. So that's not good. Or I wasn't good. Or it's like all these exterior, these things that you can't control when the kid inside of you just wants to go, I'm in a movie. But you're thinking,

you know what I mean? How do you deal with that? Have you, did you have any problems with that growing up? Like when you first got your first, I mean, you've been through it. You've done commercials. You worked at, where did you work? You worked at the Home Depot. You worked at LA Zoo. I had a bunch of like odd jobs.

I mean, but to be honest, like I was, you know, obviously so lucky because I moved out to L.A. when I was about 18. And then, I mean, it was about three years later that I got American Pie. So it was obviously like winning the lottery. And then, but I think to. be honest, like even, you know, every project that I was lucky enough to do, even when there were stinkers, I was always, you know, so on one hand, you're like, hey, I can't believe I got a chance to make a movie. It sucks. The movie's garbage. But I always, I never lost

perspective. There was always, you know, so there's that, but then there's also the fear, like, how is this going to damage me? Like, am I going to get another opportunity? So, so I never, I think I always had that kind of like little kid. excitement i still do where it's like i can't believe i still get a chance to do this but for sure um man it's painful when they're bad the little part of you dies inside or how about the but what about the movies that you watch and you go i think this is kind of funnier i think i'm kind of good but you don't ever receive that you're not the reviews are bad no one wants to talk about and you're like i did a movie called sorority boys and i was like i'm proud of that movie it was i thought it was

really funny and my uncle who hates everything and he liked it but it wasn't my uncle likes it why doesn't everybody else like it yeah i know i know there's a couple of those um that have done where yeah then you have to walk away like i think it's pretty good nobody watched it like apparently like what does i say about me i think it's good everybody else thinks it's kind of bad yeah you start to question yourself i mean you start asking you start questioning yourself you're like am i that good maybe i'm not that good have you ever done something where you you watch and you're like, I'm fucking, in your head, you're like, I'm fucking, you wouldn't say it out loud, except for your, like, your girlfriend, your wife, or your best friend, but I'm fucking good in this.

And I feel good about this. And then no one's giving you the praise that you go, I deserve, are you fucking kidding me? Did anybody see this? If you never had that? No, I'm too hard to myself. I, yeah, I have a hard. I think in the beginning of my career, it was just, you know, it was more like, you know, was sitting in the theater and in trying to figure out like what worked you know in the comedy is like

what improv worked and and then when it did work it um you know it was really rewarding most of the time from the beginning until now it's like i'm i'm really art of myself i usually yeah i've never i wish i could i wish that i could watch something be like get a good job sean i've never been like you're fucking crazy see now you make me feel like an asshole no no no no i'm kidding i'm kidding no look it's not like everything i do go i'm fucking awesome i'm awesome i shouldn't work more i'm fucking great i'm saying look i'm like here if i had to watch my resume i'd go yeah i'm like ha ha yes oh yeah oh all right that that's kind of like you know sort of that's me yeah well that and that's okay it's healthy but it's also i think probably healthy to go

hey you know you're good you're good you did that's that's the the part you played and you played it the best that it could be played you did how i think inside of you is brought to you by rocket money i'm going to speak to you about something that's going to help you save money period it's rocket money it's a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions monitors your spending and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings this is just a wonderful app there's a lot of apps out there that really you know you have do this and pay for and that but with rocket money it's they're saving you money you're getting this app to save money um i don't know how many times that i've had these unwanted subscriptions that

Even when things are bad, I'm like, did the best that I could. But by the way, it would be such a great character. I'm sure maybe somebody already created it. But that's, I'm the fucking great guy. Who's every, he's like, I'm fucking awesome. Hey, I'm fucking awesome. Like, just, I'd love to see that character. It seems like it's almost like Ben Affleck and dazed and confused without saying that.

Yes. He was sort of that guy who's like, yeah, fucking yeah, fucking awesome. I'm fucking this, you know. And nobody wanted to hang out with. that guy. Nobody wants to hang out with a guy who thinks he's great at everything. You know what I mean? Just be great. And if people see it, then just be humble about it, you know, go home and go, fuck, yes. You know, I think that's the way. So bring yourself in privacy. Yes. Right. Do you, do you ever get so, because you don't like

watching yourself, do you ever get depressed or have you been depressed from something not doing as well as you thought you worked so hard on a movie or a TV show or whatever? And you get depressed for like a long period of time and you're like I don't know how to get out of it and what do you do about it like it really affects you I think that I've always had a pretty good idea before you know you kind of get us you know if if you're paying attention even when you're making it you can you kind of have an idea of like I don't know I don't I don't I had low expectations for this so I I haven't had that experience probably just because I feel like I've had a pretty good idea before something's come out whether it kind of works or not right no I

I mean, it's certainly been some movies where like, well, I mean, that movie I was telling you about it at the premiere. I remember my brother came up to me at the after party and he's like, dude, why did you make that movie? You fucking sucked. I took a time off of work to come for this. I can't get that time back. And I was like, fuck you, dude. How many movies have you made? That's what I was going to say.

Fuck you, brother. What kind of brother are you anyway? Asshole. Yeah. But he was terrible. It was a terrible movie. But, you know, I can't, like, I look at you, like, I wasn't popular at all in high school. I was a nerd. I talk about it ad nauseum. But, like, I look and I see that, you know, you played football, you played sports. You're pretty popular, right? The most part?

I was, like, I wasn't like the cool guy, but I was, I had a lot of great friends. Yeah. Right. So you think with some success in high school, whatever, sports, this and that, and you got some confidence, you know, people tend to, um, you know, you could fall into that, like, like, hockey asshole. And I never have heard anything bad about you. Like it's always he's such a really good guy. He's a nice guy. He's like, you know, I always hear that. And so is that something that's embedded in you when you're growing up? Is it something that your parents, you give credit to your parents for raising you? What was that like growing up? Yeah. You know, the funny thing is, like, also I grew up in Minnesota and I've always said like, you know, the biggest asshole in Minnesota is one of the

nicest people you've ever met like people are just really nice there but um for the most part there's some dicks i'm sure but um nick swartson he's a fucking dick no i'm kidding i love he's one of my buddies he's a good dude yeah yeah i yeah my parents i mean my mom is so so nice i've always said she's like the most selfless you know amazing person so they yeah i was really lucky to have great parents and um i think that's it and also thinking Again, it's like with what we get to do, you know, I became an actor because I just love movies. It was literally that. I actually have another, so I'm the youngest of seven half brothers and sisters.

It was like the Brady bunch. And like I actually have a different brother who was the actor of the family. So he's probably like really secretly angry with me because I chose to do this and I've had a chance to do it. But he's actually been supportive. but um why did i bring oh yeah why did i bring that up because you're i was talking about how you know your parents were real you know your mom was really good you know growing up and what ryan yeah sorry but i'm not completely right you're going to talk about uh watching movies oh thank you oh yeah yeah watch you love movies thank you ryan for listening wow it's wrong

with me um uh i need somebody like that you know like off camera all the time just to help me when i'm like hitting shit. Yeah, sometimes I'll go, Ryan, he's not even in the house. He's late, not working. I need you. What was it thinking? Brian, what am I thinking about? I don't know, I'm not there. You fuck. But go ahead. You watch movies. I mean, I love movies. My, my, and, like, what drove me to pursue acting was literally just like, I want to make people feel the same way that I feel when I see a great movie. It was, and I was obviously very naive, had no experience other than just being a crazy movie fan. So then when it happened for me, it was just like I, I've never, I have always known how lucky I am.

And in fact, like, I've always wanted to give back even more just because I'm like, I can't believe I get to do this. So I think that also, you know, I wanted to make sure that people I've worked with knew that. Because, you know, there's a lot of dicks out there and a lot of people who lose perspective and they don't understand how lucky. we are to go and make a movie yeah you know you remind me of like the essence because i worked with him and i think he's like he's just a great dude and he's a big movie star and he never makes you feel like you're any lesser than him is chris pratt oh that's a great crap but i could look i'm looking at you why i'm like oh he could have been like uh star lord and in the guardians i bet you tested for that i tested for it i wasn't handsome enough but like you didn't test for it you would

yeah you would have been great too he was great but i could see you like testing for something like that that would be yeah that's i've never met chris but um that's a huge compliment i appreciate it uh yeah um somebody actually asked me asked me a question about about the only audition i ever had for a comic book movie and it literally i think it was spider man but it wasn't for spider man it was like i don't remember it wasn't it was the smaller part it was a long time ago and i literally just walked in and and they they saw me they're like thank you so much for coming really appreciate. I'm like, I didn't even get a chance to sit down, dude. That was it. That was my audition. I was like, cool. Thank you so much, I guess. That was my, that was my superhero

audition. Do you, do you ever, do you let things go? Do you, I'm probably don't audition a ton now, but like when you did audition, did you get, do you get nervous on set? Are you nervous on set for the first few takes? Do you, like, until you get into the rhythm, are you feel that? Do you pressure? Definitely auditioning, man. It was, like, I was a, it's funny, like 98% of the auditions, I was just awful. And but it was like the darker roles, um, early on where I did better. And I got closer to getting those parts. But, but I always had that kind of athlete's mentality where I was like, all right, if you do the best that you can, then, you know,

that's all that matters. So I think that I felt less rejection that way. It was like, did I do it? Did I do the best they could? You know? But a lot of it, too, was also just the stress in getting to auditions because I didn't have a car. So I was taking buses everywhere, you know, like some trying to figure out the bus routes and stuff like that. So by the time I got to the audition, I didn't even give a shit about the audition. I was starting to stress out about how to get home. But yeah, I get nervous. I get nervous every day in a set.

Like, the actual, like, process of making a movie for me is so stressful. Yeah, me too. Because I want to feel like I did everything I could and I'm just so relieved by the time that I'm done. because I'm like, all right, I did, I did everything I could. And sometimes, obviously, it's enjoyable when things are working or if you're doing a comedy and, like, some of the improv works. But, no, I get, I get pretty nervous before every day. It's funny you say that about serious parts where you were, like, doing really well with those auditions. And for me, you know, I was doing all these comedies and this and that.

I did this little part in this Clint Eastwood movie. And, you know, people recognize not, nobody in public recognized me. I'm saying like agents or managers and things like that were like, just for my little seven-minute scene, they're like, oh, maybe he's an actor. And I didn't audition for many serious roles. They just because they saw me and met me. And they're like, oh, he's funny. He's outgoing. He's going to be that guy. And it really wasn't until I auditioned for the Lex Luthor part that they started to see me in a different light. They're like, wait a minute. And for me, I always say drama is a lot easier for me, even though I love comedy. I love doing it. I feel like,

Like, I, you know, I'm not terrible at it, but I, you know, but I did seven years of that. And then, of course, they think you as, oh, he's the serious guy. And then you have to be funny again. And it's like the cyclical fucking thing. Yeah. But I know what it's like. Um, I put so much pressure on myself. And I'm guessing that's what you do is you want to be great.

You want everybody to like you. You want everybody to say, hey, he's doing the job. He's nailing the part. Um, and I think that's a good quality to have. but you know for me it became a little debilitating at times because I would just it's too much I'm thinking about it too much I'm stressing about it too much and did it get that bad for you or can you let it go yeah I think that's my process and I'm sure a lot like yourself like there's a lot of you know other actors that's it's how it's just you

just have to accept this is what what drives me and I think um like especially for comedies too because, you know, I never really set out to do comedies and I never, I have a good sense of humor. I like to laugh. I mean, you grew up in Minnesota. Like, you have to have a good sense of humor. It's cold as shit up there. Like, great place to grow up, but it is cold. And, but I think that with comedies, especially because I would like to improvise and I would, you know, go to the set, you know, some of these comedies and have a bunch of different ideas.

And then those ideas would, you know, create like other ideas. And so, and then the pressure being like, you know, this is a movie. I want, I just know I can't have any regrets. I can't walk away feeling like I could have done better. I could have, I should have, you know, trusted myself and done like this idea. It's, yeah, I realize that's just kind of how it's going to be for me, you know. And then afterwards, and especially when it works, then you're like, you know, I remember in the beginning, like with American and pies and some other comedies when it works and you're sitting in a theater and you're

hearing people laugh at it. It's like, oh, it was worth the stress. It was all, it was worth the, you know, the self-porture. You buy a pair of socks, that's two socks.

Download the Rocket Money app today and tell them you heard about them. from my show um and back to uh the movie the wrath of becky i just want like this movie uh i want you i want you guys to watch this i would not tell you to watch something unless you know how

critical i am on horror movies how i always say there's no fucking horror movies um this is i'll just give you a quick synopsis then i want to talk about it but two years after she escaped a violent attack on her family becky attempts to rebuild her life in the care of an older woman a kindred spirit named Elena but when a group known as the nobleman break into their home attack them and take her beloved dog Diego Becky must return her old ways to protect herself and her loved ones Lulu Wilson is genius your genius the whole cast is genius it's like you know when you mix comedy and horror you're walking a really it's a thin line it's like oh you know it could be too I was just talking to your publicist Camelia who's awesome and I was just saying you know

that you know sometimes you get these guys they just want to make it funny and be goofy and it takes you out and this didn't it never took me out of the movie man it was like yeah it was like those three guys and the old guy they have these conversations

but when they get brutal it's dark it is fucking dark and you're like yes stay there stay there and your character I haven't seen you play a character like that you're so reserved and very like oh my god this guy's going to snap sometime who's he going to snap on that's awesome it was just very well thought out the dialogue was good um you know little things like

of of her what's her character's name again Becky Becky Becky I just fucking it's in the title you idiot um no but Becky Becky like you know she's in this scene and she's she's she's a waitress and this guy says darling and kind of belittles her and she's looking at. I'm like, huh. And then she slits his throat in a certain way. I don't want to give anything away, which I just did. But then you realize it's just in her mind, that idea. Oh, but it's so vicious. And you think things are going to happen. You're like, oh, this is going to happen. And it doesn't. And when it gets going, like if you like movies, like there's this movie C-Soo that I love. I saw the trailer for that. It's brilliant. It's brilliant. And this has

it's in the same vein. It's in the same vein as that. It's in the same vein of nobody with Bob Vodenkirk, who I love, who he came on a podcast. I haven't seen that, but that looked great. Oh, dude. And it's like, it's just really fun to watch. And it's got some shocking moments and some hilarious moments. And the lead characters, she's, she's so good and she's likable. She's so good. It really, thank you for saying.

I'm so glad that I swear, I wouldn't say it. I felt the same way when I watched it. Mm-hmm. Because, you know, for me, I think I only shot for like one week and, and, and, on my stuff is in one location. So there's so much that they shot that I didn't see. And so it was such a treat to watch. And I was like, holy fuck. Everything you just said, it worked. Because you know when you were shooting these smaller movies and the movie doesn't look small at all. But you never know. Yeah. And you're like, you don't know. And it was one of those experiences too that, you know,

just creatively and personally, you know, these smaller movies like was just really fulfilling. You you're kind of a close group of people like it's a smaller crew and um so you go like all right the experience was fantastic um if it works then great but when i watch it it was everything you just said it was like it was such a tight movie and they uh matt angel and suzanne coote uh the writer director's they nailed to the tone i want to work with them you tell them i want to be in a movie with those guys they know what they're i will definitely tell them they would love that they know what they're doing and you know i mean I wonder if like when they sent you this script, because the script's great, but I bet there's

one part of it that you, that's the reason you took the role. Can I say, can I, can I guess? Can I guess? Yeah. It's the monologue you tell them about squeezing the guy. Oh yeah. Well, it's a good story to that because, um, yeah. So there's, they sent me the script. I hadn't seen the first Becky. And I actually hadn't worked for almost a year because I was doing a TV show. And you know how it is. You're like in a weird holding pattern. And it kind of fucks you with like, other projects. And so then this thing came around and I had like a little window. And when I read the script, I loved the script. And the part, I just, I guess, I couldn't figure out really how, what to do with it. And then it just had some ideas. And I wanted to see if they'd be open to

hear my ideas and they were. And so, you know, one of them, they had a monologue in there, but I said, what if the guy, you know, because with that, that monologue and you don't have that much time that you spend with this character. It's like, here's an opportunity to really share who this guy is, create more of a threat and get an idea of his history. So it just raises the stakes. And I just said if he had, you know, he was, you know, ex-Army Ranger. That whole monologue came.

It was like a combination of like, you know, it was a real collaboration. And I shared these ideas and they were so awesome about it. it. They rewrote that monologue. And when I read, it was like, fuck yeah. Like, that was it for me. And that really informed the rest of the character. So the character became quite different than what was on the page. And again, it was like, you know, never having a chance of do something like this, it was really fantastic to have filmmakers that believed in me and believed in some of these ideas. And it made it just made it a great experience. And then, you know, to hear, you know, someone like yourself, like, liked it.

It was a, it was a treat because, again, I never know anything like this. I know. And you're right about character. It's like a lot of times they'll just have, oh, these are bad guys. But when you have backstory, when you have backstory, um, subtext to a character and you have a little insight to what he can do. It makes everything more every, you just kind of go, oh, oh, oh, this guy has got a dark side and it just doesn't skip by that beat it i love that beat it's it's important for the movie

and yeah it's it's really good i mean there's some great lines there's like i always loved like when i watch return to the living dead one of my favorite movies it's hilarious and it's dark but like there's all these lines in it that i just remember um and like i there's there's lines like uh you know she says one of the characters says i guess you guess you missed my brain oh yeah that's right I was just like, holy shit. Yeah. That is, that is fucking awesome. You guys have to see it.

By the way, yeah. How about when, sorry to catch you up, but like one of my favorites, though, is when the tweet character, when he's like, he's on the ground. He's like, don't, don't know. I promise I'll stop saying bad things about women. Like, I have a kid, you know, please. And she's just about to kill him. She goes, what's his name? What's his son's name?

performances according to gains he's like it's adolf and it was just like yeah it was just yeah it was i'm gonna teach my son morals i'm gonna teach him i'm gonna make sure he does he's a good boy what's your son's name adolf like he's raising a nazi that's i i died that's i mean there's all there's so many little gems in there and it's dark if you're a horror fan you're gonna love it if you like comedy you're going to love it. It's just shot well. The acting is great. I mean, it's like, you know, another one of these things. I'm a big fan of the movie, Goon. I mean, I know a lot of people are. Oh, shit. That's awesome. Dude, I'm a huge hockey fan. I've played my whole life. I play every Monday night. I have friends who are in the NHL. I'm just, I love hockey. And that

movie was, I know why everyone loved it so much. I know I became this cult thing, you know, and did you play, you must have played hockey, no? No, I played baseball, basketball, and football. A lot of my friends played hockey. Oh, yeah, because the character's not supposed to really have played hockey because you could see in the movie. I think he was supposed to be a better skater, though. I don't think he was supposed to be a hockey player, but I just remember when I met

with Jay Bereschel and Evan Goldberg and Mike Douse. And I fucking lied hard. I was like, yeah, I can skate. They're like, sure you can skip? I'm like, oh, come out. We grew up in Minnesota. Of course I can skate. Oh, my God.

So we get up to, you know, two weeks before we were supposed to start shooting the movie. And I did, we had skate, you know, camp. And then when they saw me and I was like ankle skating, I don't even think they were so nice to not even say like, what the fuck? I just, I think there was just like a quiet understanding of like, oh, I guess we're going to have to tweak the character a little bit. Because the only time I could stop is if I skated right into the boards. So they just incorporated that into the character, but kind of worked for it, I think. But those scenes, like the scenes with, what was the name, Leah, Lee of Shriver, just incredible. You both, like, go totally till you're such different personalities in the movie, but you're both so tough.

And I buy it and there's this just, it's just such, if you haven't seen Goon, I don't know where you are because it's another one. But it's funny because, you know, somebody goes, Michael Rosamont, first they say, you know, who's that? but you know but i will say you know they'll say oh this but you have so many moments and so many good movies like the scene in old school is one of the if not my favorite moment in the movie and most people's that's awesome that movie little feral and it's just like um you know when you get these opportunities and you're on the set with will feral i guess those nerves are coming in right you're you're definitely like oh my god i got to be good i got to be fucking great i got how many takes do was on something like that.

Oh, man. Also, Vince Bond was on set, too. So it was like, oh, God. Holy shit, man. You got these two giants, you know, they're like, I don't want to let these guys down.

But that was hard to not. I think that what helped me to not fuck uptakes was, ever wonder how dark the world can really get. Well, we dive into the twisted, the terrifying, and the true stories behind some of the world's most chilling crimes.

I didn't want to screw up what he was doing. So try to stay in it. But the good thing was that my character. character is entertained by what remember I think he because I think once he shoots himself in the neck with a dart I'm like that's fucking awesome and so I was able to at least if I

had to play it straight they would have been impossible because he was adding stuff he was adding like you know I like you but you're crazy and then they come in that line that he added it kind of gets lost as he walks away and he's like so tired

yeah yeah I'm so tired dude it's so funny that i mean i want to watch that scene again you know what i'm talking about ryan course it's just one of the most memorable scenes in comedy history and you're just shocking too because you don't you don't expect the gun to go off you know he's kind of looking at it and yeah what what did you say to him you go that's fucking awesome yeah yeah and then and i think what does he taught phillips too right i mean he's just like such a brilliant filmmaker but um and it was his idea taught to like slow down the vocals but the other line too like you better pull that out man the dirt you got a fucking dart in your neck so when you shot that you had no idea it was going to be

slow motion you're like oh this would be kind of funny and when you saw it it's a hundred times funnier than it would ever have been i couldn't believe it i mean I thought it was funny, but like, yeah. And when they did that, it was like, it just changed everything. I mean, it's the funniest scene in the movie. Now that I think of it. No, there's some funny scenes in that. There is when he's running around naked and blue.

Yeah. Oh, there's a lot of great stuff, but that is just that it's an epic scene. And, you know, you went on to host SNL, which is the biggest dream of my life. And as a kid, you probably, I mean, when they asked you to do SNL, host it, would you say, what, obviously said yes, but what was you, what were you feeling? I couldn't be. Well, it was a mixture of like, again, this is kind of the beginning. And I was like, I couldn't believe it. And then it was full panic.

Oh, yeah. It was like, holy fuck. Like, I can't believe this. And I was like, I don't know if I can do it. I've never done anything like live TV. Never, you know, I was, oh, I was so. I was, that was the most scared I've ever been. but it was after a few weeks after 9-11

and I remember my friend my best friend saying like because I was like I'm I think we're doing press for like one of the second American Pie movie and I was so like nervous about S&L and he's like listen there has never been a more important time to try to make people laugh so I just leaned into that but that whole week I don't think I ate any I didn't eat anything I was so stressed

but then when we did it that you know you do i think two performances ones taped a little bit earlier and then you just like you say there's only two ways to go either commit or you're in this awful like limbo world where you're making the entire country uncomfortable because they can see your fear but yeah yeah it was an incredible experience but yeah i couldn't believe it i mean you know and isn't maybe i'm wrong but isn't like will feral the greatest will feral moments isn't your moment in there on his best one of them yeah because oh my god like when we did the rehearsal for it i think like the dress rehearsal yeah it's in the office scene right and he's like wearing a patriotic like flag or whatever yeah like but they're like speedos i think yeah and

when we did the dress rehearsal he he propped his leg up and you can see his balls the leg inside of his leg was like all like a raw steak it was fucking crazy and because he was training for a marathon i think and he got he chate and so when we did the thing on live tv his balls were out i mean he was balls were there his she had a weird raw steak leg it was really hard to not and you don't see that on film you don't see any of that no no but i think that's why i mean also he's hilarious so but If you watch that scene, I think Horatio is laughing, Amy Pollers in it, like, so I think part of it is like his little ball was like, I'm sorry, I'm not saying Will has little ball, but like he was ball.

But his balls were hanging out of the ball. You know, I remember when I was a kid, this is a complete non-sequitur. I was on the couch with my dad and he just was swimming and he had these little blue trunks on. I was sitting there watching the Mets sitting on a towel and I looked over and I saw one of his shiny balls. and I just remember going dad one of your balls is hanging out of your pants and instead of going Jesus Christ he fucking turned it on me he got so mad he blew up he goes you get that you know go to your go to your fucking room get out of here you animal get out they are not your balls

it was like it was funny it's the funniest respect dude I was like what why are you yelling at me there were your balls and your pants show you get out of here that's fucking funny I swear to God my dad was so like what did you feel afterwards we did you go inside in your room like i go what did i fuck it i remember going upstairs no i remember and i closed slam my door and the lock always fell off the handle always fell off cheap shit and i remember going i'm going to get off camera this what did i do did he respond no i came down like two hours later and he didn't make eye contact me the rest of the day and it was weird but he was weird like that he's really like you know he didn't like to talk about private parts didn't like to talk i never saw him naked nor would i want to i never

like there's a lot of it was just my parents were very kind of closed off they didn't share that stuff they didn't you know but if something was with me they would fucking throw it at me you know like my grandpa my my aunt my my aunt my grandpa had this giant sack like uh i don't know if it was elephant titus or whatever but uh i remember in the car with them on the ride i don't know why i'm talking about this but i remember on the car ride home but with my parents back to indiana i go hey dad what's with grandpa lou's balls he goes show some respect for your grandfather and then i go sorry my mom goes it's not even his grandfather she's like on valium and stuff and she's like it's not even i go what my dad's like don't let's not talk about this what are you doing and my mom's like

when your grandmother was young her father left her and then lou came into the picture big ball loo and i go oh sweet so he's not my biological okay so i'm not going to get these big nuts that was my fear that I was going to get these big balls. Wait, have you, have you done anything with your family? I mean, this story is hilarious. Oh, I need. I write all this stuff down, but this is going to be a graphic novel for sure. Either that or it's going to be in a movie.

It's like, because my parents growing up, you would not believe the shit that I went through. The therapy, you could only imagine. Did you ever go to therapy? I know, listen, I read, I read that, you know, you're not a private person. You're a private person. You don't, you know, and you're very open and cool. But have you, like, we talk about mental health in this podcast. and like, you know, the stigma of not going to therapy and all that stuff, we're trying

to break that. And have you ever had therapy or have you ever talked to anybody? Yeah. You know what? A while ago, actually, after filming Goon, I was like, I had, well, before Goon, I had lost my dad and my dad passed away and then other family members, like four or five family members passed away, like, I mean, in a short period of time, it was like a year or two years. And I'm like a, you know, very upbeat, positive, optimistic person.

And when that happened, it was like, I was so, I mean, I was just devastated. And then I just thought I'd lost, like, how am I ever going to get that joy for life back? You know, and I always thought, like, I don't need to talk to anybody because I know I'm sad, you know? Like, what am I going to just repeat what I know? And then finally, I was like, I really needed to talk to. I really need a grief counseling because it wasn't, I wasn't, you know, I wasn't okay. And I mean, it just brought, you know, I got kind of my life back, you know, so, yeah, I'm a big advocate for talking to therapists and professionals because it really, it helped me a lot.

Yeah, that's all. Thanks for sharing that, man. That's just, it just, it opens the door for a lot of people who are, you know, listening. And they, you know, my dad's one of them. He just won't go to therapy. I remember I lost my sister. She was very sick her whole life. So she grew up in a children's hospital pretty much.

And, you know, it was always a matter of when is she going to pass because we knew it was just it was one of those things. She could have, she should have died when she was born that sick. But she didn't. And when she finally passed, you know, my dad, I've never seen him a mess. And it broke my heart. And I remember saying, hey, listen, you know, you should think about. therapy is like oh you think anybody can relate uh losing a daughter and i go not to be an asshole but yeah uh people lose daughters and sons and families and planes and all this stuff you're not alone and

like if you go talk to someone you'll see that and it might it might help you help my friend chris when he lost his mom like exponentially and so you know but it's for some people it's that old school mentality they're like i think they feel shame or whatever and it's silly it's silly it's like you know if you're sad and you can't deal with it, you're not figuring it out, if you talk to someone who trains their whole life to, to, you know, help you through things, you might want to just give it a shot. Sometimes a run isn't enough. Yeah, that was my thing. I was like, I know that I'm sad. Because I'm obviously like my mom, you know, suggests like maybe it's maybe you could benefit from talking to somebody. And I was like, I already know how I feel. And then I remember the first

meeting with the grief counselor was like I was healing just that one meeting you know so I think it maybe takes just for somebody who needs some help um the one that one experience because um then all the sudden that you realize like oh it's also being able to share things with somebody who's um not connected to you you know who's independent and obviously you know experienced in a professional yeah yeah no i love i love that you open up about that that's really cool look you've done so much i mean i can go on about like you know dude where's my car which was a big success and the final destinations and dux of hazard which was actually a huge success that actually that made a lot of freaking hazard huh we like to we like to johnny laxville and i you'd like to call

it the dix of hazard the dix of hazard i like that i like that and i work with beau duke He was Clark Kent's father on on Smallville. You know, Bo, dude, the guy played with John Schneider, yeah. That's awesome. John Schneider. But like I'm looking over here, it's like, you know, you voice crash and Ice Age and you're constantly working. You've done so much.

And, you know, we'd have to, we have to just bring it up, but Stifler and American Pie franchise, is that something, do you still get offers for them? Like, hey, we got another idea. We got another idea. Do they still throw that at you? Or is that kind of doesn't, you're not interested. than that anymore. You know what? No, I think I love that character. I, I, for a while though, I was like, especially after the last one, we filmed in like 2011 or 12. And I was like, okay, this is a

great bookend to this character, you know, I didn't think, I didn't think it'd be fun to play the character again. And then as time went on, I was like, and as the world has changed and I thought that, seeing that character today could be really interesting. And we've started, I saw Jason Biggs not long ago. We shot a commercial. And this is like a couple weeks ago. And we were just kind of talking about some ideas because we thought it would have to be, it would have to be a perfect idea.

It would have to, you know, because obviously so much has changed. Comedy has changed. But I think, the thing about that character, too, is that when it comes to comedies, Like, that character allowed me to do so much. You know, you could be, he could, like, say so many things that were inappropriate, but yet you still kind of loved him. And there was, like, physical comedy and all sorts of stuff that I don't really get a chance to do with other characters.

So even just selfishly, you know, I think that would be fun, but I don't know. I don't know if they'll ever, because, yeah, I think comedies have changed so much that that movie would have to change and adapt and, you know, be more relatable. So we'll see.

but, you know, that's another one of those, those like moments where I always tell me something, I can't believe I got to work with the guy twice actually on Southland Tales. But, um, but, um, Man, that was one of the best experiences shooting at the rundown. That was awesome. Who have you been intimidated by or when they come on set as an actor that you've worked with that you're in awe or enamored or is your idol or anybody? A lot. I mean. Me too.

Yeah, I'm always intimidated. No, but like, yeah, I remember like Billy Bob's. I mean, and these are all incredible people. But when you know, first meeting you then was like Susan Sarandon and Billy Bob Thornton on Mr. Woodcock or Christopher Walken in the rundown, Julianne Moore, David Duchovny in Evolution, Dan Aykroyd in Evolution. I mean, there's, you know, the rock, like, yeah, there's been so many big stars that Chow Young Fat and Bulletproof Monk, you know, where I'm just like, and usually for the most

part, there's always a part of me. That's, you know, because I'm a film fan. So, you know, brought the experience of shooting those movies. I was still always just like kind of nervous. Well, you did a movie that was produced by Kenner Reeves. Was he ever on set? Did you ever get to talk to him? No.

Never met. I know. Hey, Sean, great job. Really love the movie. I can imagine. Do you do impressions? No, I'm terrible. How?

You know, I know, no, but I actually, every once in a while, like the random, not people but uh like like elmo gallum you know those weird those are good i can't do it right now i i'm not going to ask you to do i'm not going to ask you to do elmo or that i mean if you did a nicholson or something i'd ask you to do elmo dude you don't want a clip of you don't hey everybody you don't want you don't want that clip you'll throw up on the screen i wouldn't want to put it in the podcast it's just like that's embarrassing let's cut that ryan let's cut the elmo thing it's cool but not you don't want it we don't want to embarrass it well it's not cool it's not cool Ryan we're gonna we're gonna make Sean look good we want him to be you know

and um how do you stay healthy by the way do you uh do you work out a lot do you run a lot do you I mean what is it that you keep in how you keep in shape I'm you know I um road bike I'm one of those guys you know like the uh it's funny because I remember the BMX dirt like kind of on the you know like the skinny like road bikes just like you see are you do live in California yeah okay um You see them at PCH. And so I used to like make fun of them. They all wear like the same little outfits and stuff.

And they're like weird bikes. And then, you know, my buddy introduced me to it. And I was like, holy shit. I love it. So I'm wearing the outfit. I got the weird, you know, butt padded like one z thing. And so that's my thing now. I don't have a good enough body.

I wouldn't do it. They go that they think I was Gallum. Seriously in that tight suit. Or like, what's his name? Andy Circus in that, you know, when he's doing all the movement. This is called shit talking with Sean William Scott. This is rapid fire. These are my patrons top tier.

They're loyal. They're going to love you because you're awesome. But patreon.com slash inside of you if you want to get back to the podcast, keep it going. Razzie, have you ever been struck, starstruck by someone you have worked with? We mentioned that. But who's the biggest one? Who's the one that you're like? Did it work with?

Yeah. Man. Sean, say me. I was going to say Christopher Walken for sure. Yeah, he was intimidating. Because he's also, I mean, he's just awesome, but he's also intimidating. He is. He has intimidating.

Oh, yeah. I remember I just would watch him on set when he was working on this movie Pool Hall Junkies, I did this little independent. And I remember just the way he said lines on, like the line was they're playing pool and he says, you know, they're gambling. And he goes, you know, bet it all. And he goes, and then walk and says, how about the ring, Joe? He says, how about the ring?

He wants his ring. And Palm and Terry says, the ring, you want the ring? And I remember walking, if you read the line, it would have been like, well, you said it, Joe, bet it all. You said it. And he goes, you said it, Joe, bet it all. I'm like, just the way, you said it, Joe, bet it all. Just, it goes down, it goes up. It's just like, what the fuck is he doing?

And it's genius. And he's like, he was weird. He was weird, but I loved him. But he fucked with me hard on the rundown. What did he do? There's three times that I remember the one I've told the story before, but like, I remember just walking off from said and I saw him, I think standing in front of his trailer. and he just kind of

kind of looked sad and I was like, man, I can't Christopher walk and looking sad by his trailer. So I walked over to him and I forget me because I have told the story before, but it helps with the other ones.

But like, I didn't know what to call him like Chris or Christopher. Wait a minute. I told the story. They happened to me. Is it about the flash? Yeah, did you say,

did you say his full name? Yes, I said, I swear to God. I said, are you, go, tell the story. Tell it. Sorry for interrupting, but it's- Oh, no, no, no, no. But, yeah, I, so I would always call him Christopher Walken. Did you call him Christopher Walken? No, tell your story. Start over. I'm going to cut that out. Cut that out, Jason.

I interrupted. I'm an asshole. Say it again. Go ahead. No, so I walked up to him and I was like, hey, Christopher Walken, are you okay? And he goes, I can't do his voice. So let's do mine. But he's like, yeah, I'm good. I'm good. I'm a little sad, you know, it's my birthday, so. I'm like, holy shit, dude, it's your birthday. I'm fucking got to get these people to get you a cake or something. He's like, no, no, no, I don't want a cake. I'm just kidding, it's not my birthday.

I'm like, what? He goes, yeah, it's not my birthday. I was like, what the fuck? Wait, and then like an hour later, I hear people singing happy birthday and bringing him a cake. Oh, no, what he said, was he goes, you guys, it's not my, I didn't say we got to get him a cake. He goes, when he admitted it wasn't his birthday, he goes, not that's not my birthday, but he goes, like, I bet you if I told people it was, they'd bring me a cake. So that's when like an hour later, I heard people sing

a happy birthday and bringing him a cake and he looks, you look past it and he gets, he winks at me. Like, what the fuck? So the second thing that happened was he came over to me, we were on set and Dwayne was on set and he goes, just walks up to me. And he'd always go, hey dude and I was like oh hi Christopher Walken he goes do you know where I can get a nice steam and I was like um a steam he goes yeah I would like to get a nice steam so I said yeah hold on a second I went up to Duane I go hey dude um Christopher Walken wants a steam do you know where he could get that he's like fuck am I supposed to know where to get his steam I go sorry you're Right. So then somebody told me of like a spot. I go, I'm Christopher Walken. There's a place called Burke Williams. And apparently they have, you know, a place where you could get nice steam. And he goes, do you think there'd be a lot of pretty men there? And I'm like, I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. And he looked at me and he winked and he walked away. And I was like, so then like a couple weeks later, he walked up to me and he goes, the Rolling Stones are playing this October. I'm like,

holy shit hold on a sec i go up to dwayne go dude christopher walking wants to go to the rolling stones with us they're playing this october and dwayne looks at me goes um dude it's it's november and then i went over christopher and then he looked at me and winked and he just walked away that's what he would do all the time he was just fucking with sean william scott but the funniest part is christopher walking like who yeah the fact that you're calling christopher boying with me it was just quick i went up to him i said i was nervous should i call you mr walking should i call you um uh chris he goes i don't know just call me flash no way and he walked away and the next day i tell the story i met many times and i just said hey to my friend anson

i go anson watch us hey flash nothing flash nothing finally turns around goes what are you talking what are you talking and walked away was like what the fuck is going on here oh so you did the same thing with you. He messed with you. Yeah, he fucked with me too, but he fucked with you a lot more. Hard, yeah. He fucked, he fucked you hard. That didn't, that didn't sound right. Uh, real quick. Stone H. Uh, hey, Sean, Dukes of Hazard is one of my all time favorite movies. What your experience working on the film? How fun one is it worth to work with Johnny, Jessica, Willie Nelson, big fan. That's awesome. Um, it was a ball. Also, Bert Reynolds was, was, it was amazing. Man, he's a legend. So it was one of the most fun experiences I've had. And, um,

Johnny Knoxville is just one of the best. He's a great guy. I think my buddy Dax actually said, because I used to call, we used to call him like burnt rentals, like just for no other reason that instead of Burt Rennels. Burned rentals? We say, hey, burnt rentals. So he was working with him like a lot and they were working a lot together. And finally one day goes, burnt rentals.

What's up? He goes, you don't call me that again. And that was it. He thought he could just do it. he was like no uh lex during the filming of jackass 3d did any of those guys prank you off camera no but i was i was ready for it but i think because i was i gained a bunch of weight for goon and they didn't know that so i think that they all looked at me like oh poor guy you know is kind of chunky so i think it helped me to you know otherwise i think they probably would

have done something nasty i've been in better shape did he did johnny ever play any kind of prank on you or did i mean is there any kind of fun story that you haven't told that you just is you can't tell he i i think i was i kind of made it i think i think i told him right in the beginning like i really please don't like talk with me just don't think to me i don't want to be stressed out i'm trying to do a good job in this movie but i don't want to be thinking like something fucked up was going to happen he was very respectful to that but i i don't know why i keep thinking this one moment but we were shooting at somebody's farm and he was like the family from the farm that owned the farm were kind of watching us shoot this

scene and they were standing kind of off the side and there was like big family it was like the grandpa the dad the mom the kids and so johnny walks over by them and i kind of saw him standing next to the whole family and then i looked away and i hear this sean and look old over and he's got his ball stretched out through his pants but nobody can nobody knows the family doesn't know so they're just all standing and he's just looking at him like what i mean that's not even shocking to hear at all but it's brilliant it was so great he's like stretched it out he just let it dangled there and i was like it just for me just for me to you know feel uncomfortable and you know laugh check out my bubble gum Sean check out my bubble gum my bubble gum balls you know it's

funny as I remember we wrote this movie uh like years ago 10 years ago and we had all these people attached and I oh and I always wanted you as the role and we could the movie ended up not getting made we were in prep and we were scouting but I always wanted you as the lead I was directing it was like John Heater and Seth Green and uh it's swartz and a bunch it was what happened with it uh we never made it but it was called sorry is for cissies and it's about a guy who was a bully in high school, but he then gets expelled, but changes his whole life. And he's like this newfound guy, but nobody knows him. He just leaves town. And this guy's sister is marrying him. And he hasn't met the guy because, you know, he hasn't seen his sister in a while. And

they go back to this one, and he goes, he realizes this is the guy that picked him. You're marrying the guy who picked on tortured me and my friends. And he blackmails the guy to go on a road trip of redemption, he'll apologize to everybody he met. He tortured or, you know, whatever. That's a great idea. Or he's going to tell his sister everything. So the guy goes, hey, your brother and I are going on this road trip with his other friend. And it's just hijinks out the ass of road trip of craziness. And the kid has no intention of ever like letting his sister marry this guy, which you find out, but he finally proves himself in a way. But it's, it was ridiculous. That's a great idea. What happened? Why did you make it? We just never, we just never can get.

at finance again we had it finance we lost the financing but we loved it and i always said sean william scott like that guy could play fucking dark as you see the past and he could see the the comedic part but he's the straight guy but he's like it's just but that you were the guy i swear to god thanks for thinking of me i wish we had done that movie you could still make that movie i know sorry it's for cissies man but i always remember i and i didn't wasn't thinking about until just now and i thought oh my god that's right my other writing partners were like that's the guy i'm like what about me you know but uh dude this has been epic i can't thank you enough um thank you thanks for having me on man it's been so much fun i'm really grateful yeah and uh wrath of becky

is is going to be streaming everywhere you have to see it it's dark it's funny it's it's a performance i haven't seen in you and i'm like you're so capable of doing really anything and you should you should be doing everything in and everything anything and what else are you doing what show are you doing now well by the way thank you so much for everything you said i really it means a hell of a lot i mean it buddy i mean it i mean it no you do it man it's a huge compliment i really really appreciate it um thank you um i'm doing well i did a tv show i don't know if they're going to do a third season but it's uh paul feig produced it called uh welcome to flash but you know what's interesting is like actually because you were talking about movies that i've done

I haven't really done much over the last like six plus years because a lot of the stuff that has been sent to me is like, not great. And I'm like, I'd rather not, I'd rather just pick things that I feel, you know, I could be proud of. But now it's it's a kind of a moment in my career that I've never had where there's a few things that are really all very interesting and allow me, a few different projects that allow I mean to, you know, do different, you know, show a different side, you know, kind of like Rath and Becky that you never know with these movies, you know, there's four things that

are lined up and none of them could happen. But, um, so we'll see. But right now, I'm just like, I'm happy to be in a movie that I'm actually proud of. Yeah. And I'm actually really happy and proud that I liked it as well. I mean, I am because it wasn't one of the fun comfortables. Not, it was not fun comfortable. It was entertaining from the beginning to the end.

I liked everybody. The performances, it's shocking. It's, I know, like, I'm thinking about, like, some of my patrons who, like, love horror movies, too. And I'm like, Raj, you're going to love this. And, you know, it's definitely a horror movie. It's not a horror movie. It's like this dark, dramatic comedy. It's almost, it's a horror, but it's got that horror element in it because there's some gruesome stuff, but it's, it's warranted.

It's like, oh, my God. Yeah. It's really cool. so yeah it's like you know what um it kind of is like it's like if if umma thurman from kill bill had a kid with john wick right and it's a it's because it's got like it's almost like a little bit of a 16 year old kill bill vibe and a little bit of edgar right kick ass you know i think that's what the filmmakers were kind of going for but yeah i think i like those movies i 100% see that but wrath of Becky and continued success, man.

I hope you come back on another time. I'll bug Camilla. Next time you have a project, you got to come on and talk about it or whatever. I love to sit with you again. This is great. That would be great. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Great guy. I couldn't believe how he's just so nice and he's private and he opened up a little for sure. But he was just really kind. Just a kind guy. He was just like, yeah, yeah. You know, just having a conversation. and um uh it's it's nice i mean he's he's had a great career and he's done a lot and he saw that he wanted to change it up a bit after american pie and he was getting cast in a lot

of roles we talk about the will feral scene yeah and um old school right was old school where he uh he's uh he's uh he shoots will feral shoots himself with the tranquilizer in the neck and he's like oh my god was that bad and everything gets slow motion he's like oh my god It's so funny. It's one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen anywhere. You have to see. You haven't seen old school? No.
