Really? Yeah, son's in a band No, he's uh studying music at the university of michigan just dropped him off for a sophomore year and he's uh

You know a john mair wannabe at jimmy page wannabe. Really? Yeah Good for him. Yeah So he's bringing this back. He knows the lyrics to these songs better than i do songs that i grew up on What does he think about today's music wow, so what is he 1920 just turned 19 he says rock is dying Okay, you know it's no full fighters keeping him alive. No greater van First of all that's shocked me. I'm like, what do you mean rock is dying says no you got to listen to this everything is like, you know, um Sampled and you know computerized and you know, um, it's just different, you know, so I said, you know

You should play rock and he goes. Yeah, but it's kind of dated. It's not at its height right now Which is shocking for me to hear because that's what I grew up on But he's 19. He knows I don't I mean, it's it's I love it. I love it, but it's getting old right now Like that all we have on the radio. I mean I listen to lithium. I got serious I listen to lithium. I listen to aziz boneyard There's got to be something else. I listen to

What 60% of the music on there is guns and roses That's all they play a lot of guns and roses those three or four albums and heavy rotation and You know, I love the foo fighters. I love david growl. Whenever they come out with something, you know I love that these older bands are touring because Kids like your son are going to watch these guys. Whether it's Roger waters or

You know, I think next week is juniors priest And deep purple at the la county fair Wow, you know how many people have invited me to that next week? And it sounds great. I mean I listened to eddie trunk and he was talking about oh or jim florentine He was talking about uh, that they're gonna do delivering the goods. They haven't done it in 40 years Well, wait a second They haven't played the song in 40 fucking years. They're gonna pull it out this year Just the thought that they're storm death leopard. Yeah sold out the garden

Wow, how did that happen? I don't know but so Music is alive in a way. Oh, yeah, just not it's just evolving as it always does. It's just interesting where it's going What's up with you brother And is working Working like you just finished a movie with just finished a movie and starting a movie So I'm in like the the vortex of hell right now So you're a month away from starting a new yeah five weeks away

You're making me poop a little because I should be home writing right now because we're still got to finish the script Okay, you know you could do that with your eyes closed. You've done it before And uh, yeah finishing one that opens uh Thanksgiving wednesday So that's the one with jennifer that's the one with jennifer lopez. Was that a romantic comedy? It's a comedy. Okay. People are calling it a romantic comedy There's some romance in it because there's mylo ventimilia who uh, all the chicks adore I mean, it's crazy

You know how how popular he is because of this is us um But it's interesting. It's really not their story I can't really say whose story it is because it kind of gives away a surprise, but um If people want to think of it as a romantic comedy think of it as a romantic comedy It's kind of like if it were to be like something working girl if you remember that movie, right? Are you one of the to go guy directors now in hollywood a comedy do you have a lot of scripts coming your way for comedic features

I do it's You know, it's weird because not as many comedies are being made today As they're used to be um, it's the big ip things if it's uh, you know a comic book or A disney animated movie that they're turning into live action or a book Those are the movies that studios want to roll the dice on and the mid-range comedies Or whether they're romantic comedies or r-rated comedies

You know hardly anybody's doing them if it's if it's not new line Or now stx which is a studio that i've been working at the past couple of years They're the only ones doing it and it's great that they are But it's not like it used to be where you know, you'd get offers from paramount and Warner brothers and fox. I mean they still occasionally make them but far fewer Of the mid-range movies That's just nuts. Yeah, I see, you know, kevin hart's got a movie every six weeks. Yeah I know kevin hart's always doing something our old friend even though they were opposed to comedy out from time to time

Right, you know, but it's not like I don't know. It's When I was growing up there were two or three Smash comedies every year. Yeah that fucked your world up There was six or seven good ones But three that fucked you up and murphy, you know Wow somebody from say why something right? I don't see that anymore. No, no, that's what I'm saying. It's uh You know, it's kind of like what we were talking about with music. It's evolving um

I don't know what's going to happen in the future. I mean right now I feel like There's so many superhero movies that how can that Sustain our business and are we going to look back on it? 10 years from now and say remember when we were in that period where all it was was superhero movies or Disney which seems to like own the planet earth right now um

Between Pixar and marvel and star wars Uh, it's just it's an interesting time. I love cocoa. Oh fantastic. Like I thought it was I took my daughter I thought it was fucking great. You know those Pixar movies They take two or three years to make but they fucking they're all home runs. No, absolutely. You know, it takes a lot It breaks my heart That i'm not the movie guy used to be Like I you know, what do you mean by that? You don't go as much friday 11 30. I'm that guy. What times your movie come out friday 11 30

Where's it come out comes out in 1111 45? And it comes out in north hollywood 6 11 15 I was at the 11 15 in north hollywood and I'd schedule a joint to the chinese food before Then have to be yoga like I had a process. It just wasn't the movie. It was the whole thing Right. I don't know if it's because I got married. I don't know. I just went to the movies on a date We go to date night. We go into see mission impossible The last 15 minutes was an hour and a half blow the fucking plane up already 15 minutes. I'm waiting my ass doesn't I want to have a 15 minutes. Yeah, the world's got 15 minutes

I'm sitting here an hour and a half. Why is that fucking happening? You know, why is this happening? I don't need to shit my world and I went to see uh the part two The equalizer. Yeah, and again Nothing top man on fire After man on fire, he could have shot himself in the head because it was so good He was so good Denzel and man on fire. Yeah, he was a great drunk pilot Yeah, and he was okay as the fucking whatever, but you know, it was okay. Like I didn't remember anything from that

I didn't come home and give you a line. Yeah, I didn't do any of that stuff I was telling John how When I went to see the wrestler I remember sitting there during the wrestler. I'm watching Mickey Rourke somebody I loved Early on from the pope of granite village and then angel heart. He's brilliant And I'm like, why did I come see this movie at 12? This was the first movie I've gone back to my Old self like I went to see that. What's the expensive one on sunset?

Uh the center Ramadan. Yeah, I don't give a fuck You get the six dollar fucking chicken sausage with the mustard and the onion. Do you eat like a doctor? I want you know, you go in there. You drop 50. There's no matinee prices there. There's nothing you pick You know what I'm talking about right there. I'm gower. Is it gower? It's center Ramadan. Yeah, you go in there That's a yardstick. You go on a date there. You drop 80 easy popcorn. You always got to get this chicken sausage That's the secret this chicken sausage with the fucking mustard and onions It's brilliant in there what we talked about. Oh, but I went in there and I'm watching the wrestler and I'm thinking of myself What made me come here?

Because like with good fellas, I wasn't a halfway house Pete. I wasn't a federal halfway house Peter I made up a whole story on how I had to go to a hospital or something. No, I didn't I had a joint I went for Chinese food and I went to the first viewing a ghost of good fellas Or maybe seven other people in the movie theater I love that shit. Oh, yeah to be able to leave the movie at two and tell people when they're moving like we're going tonight Don't bother, you know like being a critic for your friends like it's suck dick You know I'm saying like I loved all that stuff. I don't do it no more because there's nothing really that grabs me The wrestler was the last one that I went and I thought about what made me go see it and it was something I read online

That's it. Mm-hmm, you know, it's little things. They don't prepare you the movie studios don't prepare you anymore It's such a running gun business You got two weeks of advertising and I gotta catch it in three days. If not, the movie moves on Fucking superfly and god here already on pay-per-view. Yeah Well, no one no one watches commercials anymore. Who watches currently everyone skips through them So unless you're at the movies watching a preview, how are you finding out about this movie? Now you have to see it on like instagram or something like yeah, that's true This movie that we're thought about that this movie that we're advertising right now. Um, the jennifer lopez one

It's called second act The way the movie is being advertised is completely different. It's relying so much more on digital So, you know jennifer has like 120 million followers And she released the trailer and I saw dwayne johnson did the same thing for skyscraper That's a bigger reach than they're gonna get you know, uh on a on a tv show and

Used to be a big thing and I guess it still is sort of but you know super bowl spots But they're so expensive now and people are going to the bathroom during them So everything's changing it used to be television was the biggest form of advertising now. It's digital And social it's so crazy I'm sorry. Oh, I was just gonna say it's funny what you said about your son because my cousin went to uh, ithica And and he graduated and like a year later they switched from film to digital And he doesn't he he didn't last because everything he went to school for was out

So it's it is we've been talking about the change and it's just It's weird how you sometimes you have no control over it like you have like you probably as a director have had to adapt About tons since you shot a movie with joey or even three years ago The whole business has probably changed a few times it has changed. I actually Was the guy blamed for getting rid of film editing because my first movie We edited on avid and it was the first major motion picture to avid to edit entirely digitally And then I had people like who were mad at me and like brian singer on the end of usual suspects put

You know this film was edited entirely on film. I thought okay. Well, that's fine It just said I liked I came from television Where we were editing digitally and I thought well, why aren't they doing this in film? And it was different back then you had to hose down the mags literally they get so hot and now it's You don't have half the machinery in the room. So that was that was um How we edited and then from a Picture standpoint dean samler who I've done four movies with who did the longest yard and grudge match and grudge match He convinced me on get smart to go digital not shoot film

And he literally took me to a theater in hollywood and he avid the same scene From I forget what movie and he said I want you to tell me you guess What's film and what's digital and I got it wrong every time I said that's the film. He goes. No, that's digital And that one vice versa. So I couldn't tell the difference. I said, okay, we should we should shoot digital and Now there's still a lot of directors who want to shoot film chris null and tarantino. That's great But what they told me I said, why do you guys like? As cinematographer shooting digitally. I said, well, you know

Pete you know, I can never go to sleep at night You know when I I didn't know it if the film was developed properly or not I'd have to wake up in the morning and call the lab And now I know it instantly it's done. I'm like, oh, that's interesting And I remember asking because steve correll really liked shooting digitally and I said, why what do you sense as an actor? What difference does it make to you? He goes I remember hearing the film running through the mag And I felt pressure like we're spending money if I don't get my scene funny or right

But digital I don't hear it and I hear it's cheap tapes cheap. That's so it calms me down I'm like, wow, I never thought of that. That's crazy So two different perspectives. So I'm sorry. I helped fuck up the business, but It is the way of the future is the future. What are you gonna do? Yeah, everything's evolving. I mean everything has evolved so much Yeah And the way you color time a picture which a lot of people don't even know what that means But if you look at old movie posters, you know, um, laurence of arabia On the poster it'll say colorist

And he got a credit on the poster now. No one even knows what that is But it's literally changing the colors of a picture now on film You would add a point of yellow to the entire screen or a point of green or a point of blue and this would Change, you know, the color of your face if you looked green and we wanted to make you look tan, you know, you change Now digitally you can colorize certain sections of the screen It's much more accurate and it's so fantastic if you watch some of those films Dorothy the Wizard of Oz anything with your Brenner

King and I King and the original west world the original west world you could see that they fucked around You couldn't catch what it was. You were too young. You didn't understand But you knew something wasn't right, especially with your Brenner Your Brenner always fucked with me and I don't know why his face always looked too tan It wasn't tan enough. There was something about your Brenner that always fucked with me How would the longest yard be different if you were to shot it digitally that? um

Would it have gotten quicker would it no, you know what it's uh, it's an aesthetic choice. It's um It's cheaper Right film is expensive I used to get when you would shoot a million feet of film Kodak would come out and give you a bottle of champagne And that was considered a lot And on the longest yard I got two bottles of champagne and the studio was pissed Because they said you're shooting too much fucking film slow down like I'm shooting football

You know, I have five cameras going, you know, you watch an nfl game on the weekend There's like 47 cameras that cover a football game. I couldn't do that, but that's what I'm competing against You know, so we take five cameras and we move them around a couple times and then it looks like I have 25 cameras I'm still half of what the nfl is shooting But shooting on film with that number of cameras. That was uh, very expensive And they're not making movies You know the sandler days That being one of them where movies cost 80 million. No everything now is 20 or under

Now no one's going to feel sorry for us But that was the business nutty professor cost 85 million. They wouldn't spend that today 85 million Made 160 but it uh, you know, they don't green. That's what I'm saying They don't green light movies in that world anymore. The crazy thing is Netflix still is paying big dollars You know for the budgets of the sandler movies, they're still big over there

I don't quite understand the business model, you know, um, how they make money. I'm sure they do but uh It's just it's a new era, you know, there's streaming movies now. Netflix is gonna make big oscar campaigns for their movies. They got a cohen brother movie um, there's uh An alfonso coran movie Last thing he did was gravity remember and he's got a big one coming out and so I I guess They put him out in the theater for a weekend. So it qualifies for the oscars

But then you watch them on netflix You know, if you got a nice theater at home, you know screen and the surround sounds like why not? It was it was funny when you guys were talking about movie theaters Because my favorite thing about living in LA and it's actually been closed for about a year is going to places like the new Beverly and seeing old Double features for six dollars Like that's what I think is is is kind of growing in the movie industry. It's like people going back Like I was just what amc is really releasing

Smoking Abandoned because of Brett Reynolds. They're gonna release it. I'm sure every screening will be sold out. So it yeah That's pretty fun. The new Beverly. That's the Tarantino theater, right? Yeah, they've been doing that He played it was awesome. He played tommy boy Two years ago and it was its 20 20th anniversary And so I went and they had me do a little speech in front of his packed house because I hadn't seen the movie projected Since the movie came out Once, you know, you go to the premiere. That's like the last time you see a movie on a big screen most of the time And I said, wait, wait, wait, wait. How did quentin tarantino have a

35 millimeter print of tommy boy? I said, oh no, he owns one. I said, I don't even own 35 millimeter print of my own movies But he does and he has a vault And because they've got to be um color You know, sorry a temperature controlled so that the film doesn't melt or decay And and then I had another screening of tommy boy at the usc In the frank Sinatra theater and that print came directly from paramount and it was a piece of shit It scratches all over it and everything tarantino's copy of the movie was better than paramounts

Ah, it was fantastic So I love that the I love what he's doing. Was that your first big time? No first movie I made uh when I was 30 was uh naked gun the final naked gun You went to usc went to usc. How long did you stay in new york city for new york to zero through eight? Really, where'd you live? I lived upper west side 441 west end avenue then moved when I was five to mimeranek. Where'd you go to public school? What public school would you go to? Oh, I don't know the name of them But fe bellows and elementary if you want to know no, I lived on the upper west side from it was preschool

I lived on the upper west side from 66 To 73 I lived on You know 88th street 205. Oh my god. We were like neighbors. Yeah, but I went to ps 166. That's why oh, I you know My uh, my sister went to ps 109. I remember I don't remember the number of my Ps 166 stiller was a neighbor of ours too Ben still right. He's one of those guys up there, too I lived at block from ze bars Okay, one block okay, and I grew up at the natural history museum My grandparents would babysit me and just to shut me up. They'll just take him to the museum

He'll stop crying how many times do you stay in the middle and look at that whale up on top I literally was just shooting this and I spent seven months of this past year in new york And I have so much deja vu of I've been here when I was a kid. Yes I remember my dad I I uh went to riverside park And I cracked my skull open I was riding my bike down a path and I slammed the brakes on went right over the handlebars But right by the memorials it was going down a hill into the park And uh, I remember my dad was like taking me to the hospital and and uh, he bumps into walter math out

Who's walking charlie math out in a stroller and he was more single how are you and he goes I can't talk right now son's bleeding got taken to the hospital But they had worked together and I you know, I remember my dad telling me that story. I'm like that's nice So I kind of met walter math out You know, I don't really remember it my Brains were oozing out of my forehead right by the length of memorial. Isn't there a link to memorial? I don't decide drive. Yeah by like 90th between like 85th and 90th. I could be wrong. There's a memorial there

There might be and my dad died when I was young But I was baptized catholic and my godfather stuck to his word on saturdays He would pick me up and we'd take me to like fucking At first he got bored of kid movies. He'd take me to like the love bug Oh, yeah, and he took me to the world's greatest athlete Love that michael vincent with the arms and john amos and john amos, but one time he's like, I don't want to sit through this So he took me to see the velachi papers. Oh, yeah, and I was hooked. No, no The first movie took me to see was her majesty's secret service. It's george lazan beat. That was the first bond

No, he came in between Did he I thought he was the first 69. No, they had already made the ones with connery with connery Oh, is he after I thought he was before let's check it out. He came in in 69 68 did one movie Her majesty's secret service with uh, kojak diana rig I was in love with fucking diana rig as a young kid so It was yeah, there was three it was he was in between connery and maybe the saint Remember the tv show the saint yeah that guy

That's what he only did one movie. Yeah, and kojak was in it. Whatever the fuck his name is telecevolos telecevolos So he would he played the bad guy in the movie. He was the third. It looks like there's a david niven was did it once What I do not remember that. Yes, and george lazan beat in 69. Yeah 69 george lazan. That was six david niven was bond What was the name of that movie when he played bond? Who uh david niven? casino royal What? That is so weird and 67. That is so weird. So yeah after show and connery. They didn't know for sure

When did the guy from the saint come on? The saint which one is that they'll tell you who was after george lazan beat. Okay. Um Roger more roger more from the saint. He was the one. Oh, oh, yeah He was the show the saint He was the one though that I remembered as a kid as a kid moon raker. I think it was my favorite That's that was my favorite too. Yeah, and by the way So jaws

The richard keel who played jaws in in moon raker, but they brought them they brought him back for another one He was also in the original longest yard yard. Yes. He was that's why I brought back delet sing Who was in the longest yard as my huge guy in get smart? I was completely That was an homage to richard keel and The original and moon raker You do a lot of homages from time to time homages are better than pilages, you know, you don't want to be stealing stuff So you'd like to honor it, you know, so yeah It doesn't feel like kind of like a

I'm not an easter egg But almost like a little secret that you have that maybe someone will find out but it's just it's just really for you Yeah, so how long was peter more? Roger more roger more from 73 to 85. He did Jesus. Yeah Seven of them and then it then there was the good-looking timothy dalton Yeah, that's right. He did one or two And then pierce bras and then for 10 years. Yeah, I like pierce bras I did that's where I grew up and then daniel craig's been doing it since oh five, but daniel craig is

Such a great badass bond. It's a different bond and it changed with I love him. I like him I love him. He did you know the redo of casino royale you know written by paul haggis and um By the way, the recent one specter The guy i'm now working with david tista Was the bad dude in that and oh, this is some great scenes The the fight on the train

You know, well, you'd never think daniel craig could beat the crap out of that guy because that guy is a big man That's a big dude. That's a big man. Well now are they gonna replace daniel craig them though? He is Like I think after the last one he said i'm done I'd rather have see he said something like I'd rather have sewing needles poked in my eyes Rather than do another one of those and I think he was just exhausted and then he came back and said let me finish What I meant was And he stayed

Well, I mean that's literally what I was just gonna bring up. Um They were the last I heard is that they were considered the one of the rumors was idris alba. Oh, yeah Yeah, it was going to be crazy and I was I was gonna get your opinion on it because for me I mean, I didn't grow up with it. But to have a black james bond doesn't really I don't really have a feeling either way. Do you guys obviously I'm like, you're not gonna be like, oh, I would never let a black guy do it but How do you guys get married to the way things were and when they do remakes you guys get upset if they change things or Well, first of all, I think you'd be awesome Secondly, why not?

um But third It was interesting. I I experienced a little bit of backlash on um You know, uh, well get smart wasn't a remake. It was an adaptation but karell and I when we did that we wanted to make it a little more grounded and have the action be a little more masculine and muscular And you know as opposed to just playing the jokes and some fans of the original series said hey

It's the original is goofier. You guys are, you know, you got comedy, but you got real action in there. It's it's not the same tone And I remember chris rock Ironically wanted to play max. Well smart. This is before I knew chris or knew that he was interested in that But after the movie came out, we had already done the longest yard at that point and he called me and said You stuck to that tone. I love it And that's brave and I didn't understand what he meant. I said, what do you mean? You know, but then I you know heard the fans talking and it's like, yeah, when you mess with a tone of something You know sometimes you can uh, you can get some friction

Ironically then look at 21 jump street That was a straight-up comedy. That's not what the original tv series was People loved it. So it's interesting you know When you can rub people the wrong way by just changing, you know, some aspect of the original Just you know, just a hair to the left or the hair to the right I would mind saying ebus. Whatever his name is obis. Whatever the fucking name obis elbow

I think the morning's angle. I like that accent that he has so it would still keep the epitois First time I saw the longest yard, we went to the super bowl Do you remember that which longest yard ours to remake? Yeah, okay, and and I didn't get flown in by sony Talamundo flew me in Because adam kept pushing me to latino market So talamundo put me in there and they put me in a condo in between nelly and michael ervin and uh I remember that we

I think burt was there. You were there with did you go to super bowl? I did not It was a couple guys there and I was like the odd man out because I wasn't there with the crew I was there with talamundo And they did like a screening of the fucking trailer And I gotta be honest with you. I went back to the room and I cried When I saw adam put his finger on his mouth and put his Thing in the guy's ear. I nearly cried

Like I was like I was never so embarrassed in my life I go you just ruined this tough guy movie With this fucking shit fucking finger in the ear. I was pissed for about three days Then I went to the second screening at paramount And then I started falling in love with it. I saw what had been done And then I remember that we're artists we I don't want to see the same movie If you do a remake, I don't want to see the same movie, but I do want you to keep it in the same vein That's all I ask you keep it in the same vein

The death wish they did with bruce willis you disrespect the charles bronson You disrespected me when you did that when you did the mechanic with that guy. I love that guy We ain't no mechanic. You fucked it up. The mechanic was a guy that killed the precision He didn't kill you with a bullet. He killed you by faking stuff. He did different things to you to kill you So on the on the death certificate, it didn't come up like you died From that and everybody got healthy. This guy's blowing up fucking buildings. That's not the fucking mechanic That's not an illustration of me with the mechanic. I want to see the 2018 mechanic. This guy's got electronics Charles bronson, you know, the mechanic opens up

No, not his it's a it's a it's a fucking 30 minute no line Mr. S not one fucking line and it's charles bronson downtown la Walks into a hotel checks in mosally goes into his room Sets up a telescope Watches this guy this guy gets up leaves for the day And charles bronson goes back in and you see charles bronson stuffing his tea bags

Getting one of his favorite books sticking glue balls in books And the guy comes back and sure enough he puts the fucking tea on and He was sleeping pills in the tea and the guy lays down And charles bronson takes the rifle. This is after 20 minutes. There's not one fucking line The director is sucking you the fucking and all of a sudden they show charles bronson points at the book In the thing and he shoots a bullet at the book and the building blows up

And the next day there was a fire and the guy dies. Nobody knows. That's how articulate he was He found out another guy had a heart condition So he took him golfing and he had somebody shoot at him. So when the guy ran he thought of a heart attack When they did the remake they didn't use that they just showed me a guy that what we're doing 2018 blow people up That's not the mechanic. So I appreciate a lot of things from remakes And there's a lot of things from remakes that go a little bit too old. I like get smart I love I grew up on the age of 99. I wanted to fuck her too When I came from kube, I wanted to fuck cut diana rig and mary tyla more

They were all gonna get dick when I got older. You know what I'm saying? That's a nice sandwich That's how I learned how to speak english by watching dick van dyke By watching all those shows. So I felt uh diana rig was on a show When I was a kid that was a brilliant english show and even though I didn't like english accent instead It was tougher for me to understand an english accent diana rig was on a show that was on channel nine new york city Channel nine is also known for having

The Mets and the avengers the avengers see see can't they did a remake of that? Yep The avengers was her and a little english dude, right and she would do a bunch of crazy shit It's not captain america. I'm assuming. Yeah, it's not Fucking america. All right, it's fucking the avengers But that's weird how you said that they're not when I did spider-man too Like listen, let's be honest longest yard in santa fe was as good as it gets in my world the smoothie girls The umbrella girls the people fucking with caba gul They had a lady who came up to you with a tray of cold cuts

Do you understand me? By the way, do you know why why? We were So we get there for training camp and that's like the closest I got to playing tom landry Right. I'm walking around with my playbook and all you guys are on the field training right in full pads And I'm you know, I I didn't have to play director that day, you know, because mark ellis is running the football You know, we designed the plays together, but now he's getting everyone in shape and you got um You know, uh

Bill romanowski Who's acting like he's still playing? And he's like to the some actor who jogs by him goes. Hey whose jersey was untucked tuck that shit in and he was taking it seriously and you know, I It was it was unbelievable But one day it was actually that same afternoon clouds in the sky looked like a storm was rolling in and samler was pissed

He said Is bernardy our producer he calls him over. Michael. No, uh, no, uh, uh, berry berry And uh, he says uh, what do you not see out on that field? He goes, I don't know What do you see a bunch of guys in football uniforms? Right? No girls I want water girls. I want water girls. I want girls bringing around cold cuts I want these guys to be happy And barry looked at me like what the fuck? I'm like, it's not a bad idea You know because he said we're gonna be

However many guys we were you know large cast In a desert in a prison. Let's not have it feel like a desert prison. Let's have a little bit of You know femininity And so that's that's why, uh We were served, you know water

Uh smoothies smoothies shakes and little cups And then Dixie cups protein shakes and you would just sit there and drink like 10 of them like you embarrassed But the girl that came around with the cold cuts It was something from another world Like you know those cigarette girls. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah with a little tray Like and she didn't just have ham and cheese and some fucking cheddar cheese. No, no, no, no They had everything prejudo fucking the hand got a goal Rolls to make sandwiches

You put in your hand and ate it without the fucking animal style. I don't know. Fuck. No, there were rolls Yeah, and there was it was like they kept coming at you. It was like being that uh forego to chow and putting the green light like in between takes But the weirdest thing though is So there's that you're you're eating luxurious snacks, right in a prison That had the worst riot in u.s history

So I'm scouting this place and I go into one of the cells and I got two guys from the film commission with me One was a native american long ponytail and then his sidekick And uh, I'm in a prison a cell and I'm looking out the window at the beautiful Santa Fe new mexico desert And I said, you know, this is not a bad Prison, I mean if I was gonna commit a crime, it's not a bad cell And they look at each other like they'd just seen a ghost. I'm like, oh, what was that? I come back to la and I'm interviewing people to be on the crew

The one guy comes in and he's kind of ashen white because you know where you're shooting, don't you? And I said no And and he hands me a book and it's called the devil's butcher block The story of the riot at that prison and I and I started to read it and it was uh Uh 38 people were killed and they were somebody got into the key room and from the key room they went into the Tool shed and got the tools and then went into cell block c which was where the snitches were They pull them all out and they chopped them up

Bold down the hallways with their heads Stacked the body parts and the gyms set it on fire. So When I go there Ichabod Crane as I used to call him he was this caretaker of that wing of the prison like to give tours Did you get a tour? No He loved giving fucking tours. I walked halfway with him and he told me that the floor wouldn't stay The color that the correct. He said the blood stains kept coming back He'd they'd try to bleach them away and the blood would come back

I'm a santerese guy. You can't be so he starts He shows the chop marks in the floor where they chopped heads off with shovels that the chips from the shovels are still there And after a while the players started getting so fucking freaked out. I got pissed I said you got a bored up cell block c And no more ichabod crane ghost tours. This has got to stop because it's we're doing a comedy You know everyone's getting fucking freaked out. And so we're eating prosciutto I remember my kids, you know are playing catch, you know on the field and it's sort of like you're going around Gettysburg you feel it. It's like palpable. You felt like people died here

and uh Yeah, I literally hyperventilated the next time I went back to the prison as I was going through the gate Because like it's next to an actual actual superman super max. Yeah And so this was abandoned what now homeland security would use it to like train so you go down in the lower level Where the chop marks are and you're walking through and the lights are out And you go to the gas chamber

or the electric chair, right? And in and out certain uh hallways because of homeland security they have dummies for like targets to shoot And so you're walking along and suddenly a dummy and you're fucking freaked out like Jesus And it's a dummy And uh, I remember I don't if you remember this jack g um Adams producing partner Dared his assistant for a thousand bucks thousand bucks spend the night in the electric chair room With the lights out with all that shit that I just said dummies chop marks blood that won a race

I'll give you a thousand bucks. I got so pissed. I said do not take that bet I'm gonna freak out just thinking about you down there. Don't do it. He did it He spent the night spent the night I don't think it was haunted. I remember he could buy somebody scared He was enough bad juju it didn't need to be haunted when we did the the the prison shots I had to go into the building They told me come over here go into the building and take prison shots and the day I was taking the prison shots That's when the guy went off on me. I don't know if it was Ichabod Crane

Whoever was standing in there. We gave you the tour. I wanted to give you you started telling me that they had taken the heads Yeah, they had put them on sticks. Yeah Like after the bowling with the heads and shit like that and when the cops came in and when the cops seized the prison The lights were shut off and they noticed that there was a lot of water It was like those 12 kids in thailand. They were walking with a lot of water And when they turned the lights on it wasn't water. It was blood. Oh, it was rivers and puddles of blood that were running Like that's how much blood to read this book. Oh my god. You don't want to read. No, no It's gonna freak out. It's gonna freak you out. But that's where we people don't realize that that's where we did this comedy

So the first day when we shot adam brought an indian and oh my god. I remember that you brought a rabbi in Yeah, I think a rabbi came in with a small 50 But you remember what he did he pissed him off too because the guy had uh, he burned uh, some Incense a uh some herb and he was blessing And then sandler said right afterwards. Hey, uh, can I smoke some of that now? And the The guy looked at him like if there could have been a clap of thunder. I went, holy shit. I hope you just didn't jinx us But uh, he had to crack a joke You know, it's it's

Like I got the I was very lucky In the beginning, you know, there wasn't no hundred dollar a day movies. You know when I moved here There wasn't no 435 It was all scale plus 10 and you went from there, you know And I still remember going to a commercial shoot in 1990 from 97 To 2000 if you went to a commercial shoot When you signed in it would say the product briars ice cream And it would say, uh, you know

Salesman whatever the rose and then it would go it shoots September 15th through the 18th When you got the call guess what you worked all three days for two days You sat there and watched other people shoot their commercials Briars wasn't really shooting one commercial. It was shooting three What a day they would hire you And you sat there for two days They paid you scale plus 10 and they knew it just in case something happened

And they wanted to shoot that commercial again or they wanted to get something If you got a movie in those days, I always got overtime. I still got the ticket stops like my first couple tv shows You would sit there and they're overtime That all disappeared like a spider-man 2 You know, they were eating lobster tails on the sony while on fridays. You know that So when you see a movie that says 160 million You have to consider that how much of that is Waste like they had this was 2003 when I shot spider-man 2 pomegranate juice remember was at five hours of bottle

They would have half gallons Out and I would just take a gallon bring it to my room. I didn't fucking know You know much those half gallons are and then you shoot a $100 a day movie And there's no wardrobe chick that picks the lint off your shirt There's nobody that fixes your hat. What you look like is what you look like, bitch. Yeah What you look like is what you look like then you do the longest yard Where they actually had a tattoo you in the morning remember our full time was 445. Yeah

445 And those animals who I just did his podcast Steve Austin. Oh, yeah, those animals were out till one or two Four nights a week Yeah I don't know how they would they would they would close that hotel bar down that little Dengie

They had three seats. Yeah, no one tells the director these things. They didn't want to freak me out So I never heard any of this. I thought you guys were like all tucked in bed by nine Those guys would go to Albuquerque. There was really no action in Santa Fe No, a lot of art galleries by the art galleries. There was one strip club It was and I went in there and tried to do comedy one night. They threw me out. I was like, I just want to do comedy Nobody just nothing. There's not one open motherfucking mic in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Yeah, but they had a dunk in donuts We had cars and we could drive up that little strip of land like towards less cruises

I went to Albuquerque one time. I've I've realized they shot cop stand and I went back again All those guys are good at Albuquerque for the weekends. I was like, fuck you I would stay up there with uh The Seattle Seahawk would always stay He never went back Brian Bosworth. Oh, yeah, yeah And uh, a couple guys would stay the weekend. I remember one time I was I can't remember the name of the hotel in Santa Fe I was staying as the middle of the shoot and they told me they said, um This saturday you need to move out of your room. Oh, yeah

Yeah, because ronald you need then you can move back in sunday. I'm like, you're really gonna kick me out of my Well, we have a vip who's coming in This is his favorite room So I said, uh, really? Okay, and I moved out for one night and then on the set one day Someone says apete, um the governor wants to uh talk to you. I'm like what and so they hand me a phone Peter, I just want to tell you. Thank you very much for letting me stay in the room It's just a personal convenience for me and he just was thanking me. I was like, this is so cool

And you know who else they asked to leave who nelly really because he was smoking pot in the hotel and then they want Arnold's to smoke it. So they asked nelly to leave for two or three days. Oh, really? Yes, oh for sports. I mean, he was probably close to you. You didn't know I didn't know nelly was in your wing There was a certain wing that they closed off that week cell block c-wing. Yeah cell block c-wing and stuff like that Wow, interesting, you know, I always wanted to ask you when you I mean, I love tommy boy, you know, I miss chris folly. It's so weird that I think about the last time I saw chris folly And it was one of the saddest things I ever saw in hollywood

But I had gone through what he was going through. My girlfriend was a stripper on lasiniga And I had just left a comedy store. This is two weeks before he died. This is 98, right? What did he die? Mm-hmm. I think 98 December 18th or 98. This had to be two weeks three weeks before he died At that strip club, there's no contact allowed They dance naked you can't touch them. There's no lap dances What you could do is hire them to dance nude, but they have to stand five feet from you and there's a rope I don't want to do that

I don't want to do that. That seems just stupid. I can't grab you. I can't fucking Harvey. You know what I'm saying For the small five dollars But it was so funny how my girlfriend at the time said Park the car. You got to see this And I okay, and I didn't know what she was going to show me. It was Chris folly sweating profusiously. Yeah He was sweating so much that his hair was back He had like a shirt on and he was just rolling up in 50s and 20s

And get a lap dance and just throwing them out. I remember looking at them Come on everything in my heart wanted to go up and get that guy a hug I'm a comic. You know saying like everything and you over here that expression don't Talk to the celebrities you look up to Because you might be disappointed Like I remember going in that calm being fucking really sad But I saw one of because I was a little chubby at the time So I looked up to him belushi, you know

And that was the last time I saw him two weeks after that He was probably gone like two or three weeks and I was like that's fucked up that I saw him that night Acting that way at a strip club giggling by himself. He was totally by himself. Yeah, so with him. Well, I Sort of straddled two sides of his personality because I started working with him in television He was in an HBO special I did with Tom Arnold and Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey were in it And uh, I remember him showing me and I was shooting with chris farley We went to the glendale galleria

And we just fallen around with a camera as he was picking up on girls It was P in your pants Hilarious He would like walk up to a girl and say can't can't with holding an orange and say hi Can you do you have fingernails? Can you start my orange for me? I can't peel it and then he'd just start flirting with hilarious stuff Right after that he um

So that was uh for HBO then we did the jackie thomas show and he played tom's brother And right after that episode, um I read for you that what year was in jackie thomas 97. No 91. No. No, I wasn't here different Yeah, I read for a different thomas show. Well, they put him straight in a limo and took him to rehab So when I was working with him, he was still you know high and abusing stuff, um Tommy boy. He was clean and uh

Ironically, I'm shooting this prepping this movie in toronto. I haven't been to toronto since I shot Tommy boy 24 years ago He was clean there and he always went to his priest at night and that was his AA and uh You know right after Tommy boy he um, there were a lot of things offered to chris because he kind of blew up and uh The things that were offered to him. I thought were terrible And he kept saying well do this with me. Pete do this. I said it's terrible. It's terrible And I said no no and he got really upset with me. He thought I didn't like him anymore And he was mad at me and I had to write him a like a seven page letter tell him how much I

Is absolutely wrong. I adored him. I just wanted the best for him I thought he could get nominated for an oscar one day if he chose properly But don't cash in on this crap you're being offered right now wait you know choose and um He forgave me. It was soon thereafter that he passed And we never got to work together again, and I always felt sad about that um You know but going back to toronto lately. It's like all these memories are flooding back

I literally stood at the gooderman words distillery last week which was callahan auto and They built an apartment building where the front gate was so I was a little disoriented. I said remember we entered Somewhere and it's not here anymore and then finally I stood in the middle of the courtyard Where he sat thinking about you know his father who passed away, and I went holy shit. I know exactly where I am Oh my god I almost got emotional because I was like I'm standing where chris sat

And I could barely recognize it, but the buildings are historical landmarks So they didn't touch the actual buildings, but they just put so many condos around it. It was hard to recognize but uh, no he you know I talked to spade every now and then And uh, fred wolf and I are you know who wrote the movie you're still good friends still around That's still around. Yeah, I see the one brother around the one farley brown. I see a cabin I I know both of them. Yeah one lived down the corner from me on gardener And the other one I knew from auditions and whatnot and didn't stand up with david He's always around with spade. They're great guys. Yeah, I think he hangs out with so he opens for spade one of them opens for spade

That's the one I see they're great guys. Yep. I remember when I was a kid I love fucking blue bar Blues brothers was on last night one night. I just sat there and laughed my ass off and I was thinking about How I used to eat koi lutes in like 1980 and there was a pizza parlor my neighbor and the guy was just racist as fuck He was greek. His name was nick nick pizza And he would just tell you what was on his mind. He was and he had the accent like fuck you And when we're going in there one night going nick, let me get a fucking Sicilian

He was like fuck you you fucking speak And I took the red crushed pepper and I threw it out of him to some shit And he's like get out. Look at the shape. I went. Oh, I know what happened. I puked And I puked on my shirt and I went in there or koi luted out and he's like look at you You look like balushi. So ever since that he would always call me fucking balushi. Get the fuck Fucking balushi he was He would today get arrested For his impolitically correctness

There's a kid in my neighborhood that now is an assembly, but he's a big deal His family always owned the funeral parlor. They've always been very successful When he was a kid he would get a slice of nicks But he would cross the street to hashways because the iced tea Was a nickel cheaper and nick would be talking to me going. Where's fucking bonini? And we go he went to hashways because the Ice tea is cheaper across the street. Now. This is the tour of boulevard Cars everywhere nick would walk out to the middle of the street and go vanity

You fucking Jew you suck But like I always loved candy. Oh, yeah, I always loved all those big guys You know so this day I adore Jim candy Yeah, when Tommy boys on I watch all that shit all those late nights out of their lives With chris folly the chicago shit makes me fucking love my asshole. Yeah I know it's so weird that Like I have the opportunity now like i'm still fucking kicking at 55 and those guys are gone And there was one time when I was just as crazy as those guys and it's so fucking sad to me like

Every three days I sit there and go what made me quit that shit And quit it for good like it never came into a thought there was never a relapse Like once I said enough That was it, you know, you're lucky I'm very fucking lucky And you look gorgeous you dropped a lot of weights and so yeah 55 with a five year old nice, you know you got to uh You really you hear the expression for years And you nod your head at your friends and you say yeah, and you give them some bullshit story

But there comes a day you really really have to look after yourself It's like being a good friend to yourself, you know, you go home at nine. You really want to eat that hog and dies But you eat two apples instead and you got a jello pudding. That's got three points You know, you really want the fucking hog and dies and then the morning you yell at your wife for getting the fucking hog Yeah That's why I do the shopping Yeah, because I don't buy the shit that I know after a glass of wine that I'm gonna eat You look great. Well, thank you now now for a guy that works on films

Because people have no idea what a direct this day is like And what's in front of yeah, what's in front of you? You have no idea like you don't know the call for the day Yeah, every once in a while you could come up to the first ad and say bring me a salad from chipotle Yeah, but besides that you so consume with the film if you really consume with the film You're not even thinking you just want to hit the lunch break and then See, I look great. I lose weight making movies because there's so much stress, right? So I had an assistant once um when At when lunch would come up, you know, and they hand around, you know the menu

Here's what's today. I said dude, I make 10 000 decisions a day Have this decision be yours. You know the three things I eat chicken whatever and chicken So just get me whatever, you know, I don't want to look at a menu so We we go and when they they turn the lights out in the dailies trailer, you know, we there's an 18 wheeler It's got pop outs and that's where we look at the footage from the day before The food gets delivered and as soon as it gets delivered, you know They turn out the lights and then your plate is lit by the screen, you know that you're watching

Every time I'd look down I'd hear a laugh and I missed it. Um, so I said fuck I can't cut with a knife and fork. So whatever you get me his name was skippy Um, whatever you get me skippy. I got to pick it up with my hands like an animal I'm just gonna like caveman in my cave and I just pick it up whatever was chicken breast great because I can hold it after a while I guess I got picky about what I was eating and the lights would turn on and Dean some would look at me and he goes Mike what's what's wrong with your face? I said, what do you mean? He said you got riddle around your mouth

And I like a terrible australian accent by the way, but uh, I looked down at my plate and I'm eating Coleslaw and strawberries with my hand. I go, how long have I been eating this shit? He goes, well, I didn't want to bug you anymore because you got picky about your food So you you hadn't said anything in a couple of weeks. So I've been eating coleslaw and strawberries with my hands You know, so that you know, I fucked myself on that one How is the stress on those films? It's uh, I remember my first movie You know back in we're shooting in 93 naked gun I'd gone from making

you know television to A $35 million budget. I remember my mother telling me man, your balls are really on the line. I went. Thanks mom. That's so comforting Thank you And then you know when the numbers you first sandler movie I did, you know anger management with jack Nicholson It's like 75 million They don't make those like I was saying before they don't make those anymore

But so it's not just Then I work with adam sandler for the first time although I'd known adam through farley and spade and the other guys We'd bump into each other. So I'm working with him who is at the height of his career Very powerful jack Nicholson doesn't get any bigger And then everybody wanted to be in that movie woody harrelson john terturo, etc and um You can't my brother asked me My brother was left. He was the editor-in-chief of los angeles magazine just left and now he's heading the news for

NASA jpl God bless him and he said to me. Um, don't you ever get nervous? I said, I literally don't have time To get nervous when I'm on the set. It's like business And so that's how I'd lose weight. It'd just be so Focused on what you have to do and I'm you know Very responsible, you know, so I don't want to go over. I'm a good jew that way bad jew religiously recreational jew so um But I uh, I I I don't want to go over ever so I don't

But that's another pressure You know to keep that hey, you remember Santa Fe keep that juggernaut going When not only do you deal with football and and prison and ghosts and all this but every day at three in the afternoon We'd have a fucking tornado You know, we were shooting during the monsoon season and then we had to go on tour on friday So we had to shoot everything until wednesday morning. Yeah, and he had to lose the tour. I mean it was There were days that I don't know. I when I looked at you you didn't look stressed

During the longest year, but I knew it was hard on everybody. It's a genius to figure out that there was Too many people. No, there's it was it was crazy. That was too No, no, it was crazy. Look if I have a super power at all It's I look calmer on the outside than I am on the inside was your I knew it was a lot of stress on you I Knew there was days that you were directing the movie and I wouldn't even look at you like that. It was just there was no time Yeah, there was no time to go Pete. What do you want from me on this? You know, you gotta you gotta see it and you gotta think and you're like just do what you did

Yeah, you know, I still remember going up to adam And redondo beach it was the day that nely released his two albums that we took us to the party. Do you remember that? It was like september Because we went to santa fe like july and august and we came back and out a week off And then we went down to work And I'll never forget the day like once we got up here The game changed a little bit. There was no more umbrella girls, right? You mean back to uh, california back to california Paramount started lingering a little bit. Yeah, it was really funny that one day

We're doing the locker scene and i'm sitting there. I'm 395 pounds. I'm like Damn one of my favorite sports movies again. We all homage Is one of my favorite sports movies is major league I think they did a great job with major league and the cuban and major league is now a fucking huge star He does all state commercials, right? But there was one scene when the owner comes up to him He's got a joc on and she smacks him in the ass and he's cuban like, you know what? What if I fucking wore a joc? I'll never forget that adam was talking to two

guys from paramount And you guys were making wardrobe decisions and I go, I gotta put this fucking joc on So that was your idea. Oh, yeah So you're the guy that says I was sickened by him doing a wet willy to him And then you come out in the jockstrap and that's okay because This is a real football scene. We're real prisoners. Let's let me explain some to you. I saw the longest yard I saw the longest yard at the union city cinema the weekend they came out and

There was two movies I had gone like we went to everything in those days. That was that came out in 73, right the original longest yard 73 Look at what came out in 73. I mean you were up against that was 76 73 was deliverance. I think deliverance Yeah, I had because I mean there was only two movies And I went to see everything at the cinema from charles ronstein 74 came out. Yeah 74 So I was 11 and they would let you in the cinema didn't give a fuck if you attend for Whatever when they gave they had that movie about the devil

The exorcist came no the exorcist came out and then sometimes somebody tried to be even more gross And they came out with this other horror movie towards 74 where they gave you puked bags On the way in but you had to be on the 18. You had to come with your mother. They didn't give a fuck They just gave you a puked bag the devil's lair or whatever But one thing I remember about the longest yard. First of all, my mother had the bar so there was a lot of shady characters that hung there And I went to this union city cinema and I could look in the ip when I saw the longest yard

When it ended the movie theater was on their feet yelling main machine like this is 1974 The other movie that we were on our feet for was rocky that movie theater 300 people You're standing on your seats the people that go what do you call those theater attendants? They would kept telling us to sit down and fuck you. Yeah, the ashes were like, fuck you mean machine mean machine So when I thought the mean machine, I thought we were gonna be a a bunch of fucking badasses You know what I'm saying? Like I just didn't know we was gonna be

More of a comedic. That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah. Yeah. So no, that was my idea I went up to him and said dog. Let me put a joc on one of the guys I said no And the other guy didn't like me not barry benardi, but the other guy and me had gone to war over a bet Because he couldn't pick a fucking winner. What was his original partner's name the attorney? Uh, jack g jack g couldn't pick a fucking winner if his day depending on him He couldn't bro. The luckiest day he ever had was a day's dog. I hit by a car So him and his younger brother remember his younger brother, you know, whenever I play long island, his brother shows up

Oh, yeah, he still shows up to younger brother So jack g and me jack g was like down he came to me and he goes, what do you think about this game? So I told him and he lost and he started getting pissed off at me So jack g was there when I went up to Adam. He's like, absolutely not. I wasn't talking to you, bro I was not fucking talking to you, you know, we were at that point in the movie the tempers were flaring a little bit Yeah, getting towards the end. That was that was also the day that somebody threw the shirt At michael ervin and michael ervin didn't catch it

And it landed on the floor. This is a very interesting story and romanoski stepped on it and then uh, fuck all from the seattle seahawks stepped on it And michael ervin looked at both of me goes, that's great Real fucking mature. He goes, it doesn't matter because when I played both of yous in college All you motherfucking scene was and he tied the shirt around like it was a cape and he ran past him He goes, this is all you guys ever saw me. Anyway, it was me doing this like running and we fucking like romanoski

And the other guy had nowhere to go. Oh tempers were already starting to flare romanoski had Called out the fighter Not the big guy got bob sap not bob sap morris smith That was almost a fight in the fucking poor section one day that the staff didn't find out about No bill, uh, we were on our side and then we had the wrestlers across from us and it was me nick bill goberg and romanoski was somewhere with his hawaiian wife And one day fucking he just went up to marva or whatever and said some weird stuff to him

And iven salivary had to come out and bob sap had to come out and one of the wrestlers stood in the middle That was the end of that. There's a lot of testosterone a lot of testosterone on that fucking set But you know what is interesting. I just remembered You know, especially since burt reynolds just passed. Um, you remember the day burt had an idea He said, I just want to do some stuff. It was like we had finished the day He said, can I can I have some of the players over here? I just have some ideas And that scene where uh, he pulls you by your helmet down to the ground. Remember there was no script for that He just he and I thought uh, I have no idea what he's doing. He just wants to he said I got some ideas

I just want to do some coaching stuff So he brought you and a few other players And deli psing. I remember and and I just thought to myself what is going on here, but let's try it You know, I have no idea if you look at that scene. It's about to rain Yeah, of course You couldn't whoever was lighting that scene didn't know bueno that day because it was just by the time he lit it It got darker. Yeah, but if you watch those scenes, it was also getting to be night time Yeah, so you could see the contrast, but I'll never forget that I didn't know what he wanted to do

Me neither and then he just said the lineup and getting a four-point stance and then he just yanks you by your Fucking me almost took your head off. I couldn't believe how strong he was. Yeah I got that moment. I hit the floor and I remember him pulling me up. Come on big guy get up Let's do this scene again. And now I was prepared for the yank. I wasn't prepared for the yank When he first now that's in the movie. That's in the movie. Oh, yeah, I was hoping that stay I was like, I hope they keep that. I hope they keep that that's Bert Reynolds touching me Like that. That's all that matters. I can talk shit from now till doomsday on that shit Well, I remember also

Bert was not supposed to do when he comes into the game. He was not supposed to actually run that play And it was against Bosworth and he said Pete. Let me do it. I gotta don't put my stuntman in I gotta do it And I thought we could actually kill Bert Reynolds on this play. I said Bert really the Nobody none of the producers want you to do this. We got to put just don't let me do it kid. Let me do it So we let him do it Bosworth tackled him kind of went a little easier on him than he would have Um, and I remember picking Bert up and said kid. He just added 10 years to my life Never forget that he had tears in his eyes

he uh It was really weird last week because I don't get emotional, you know, I'm I can't tweet dumb shit But it was so weird how he died And I did some stuff and I was like, wow, that's a shame that he died He was a good guy and then I went to the room the computer And my daughter came in and there's everything she gives me a hang up, you know

She gave me a picture and a patch was on the picture and she wanted to take the patch off the picture So when I took the picture off the wall, there was There's a picture of me Bert Goldberg Nick tutorial and Adam And he wrote, uh, you know Good always love your brother Bert and I took the picture down. I sat there for five minutes. I was like Talk, I went to prison. I got slept back in the seventh grade I got a GED, but in all this

I got to spend six weeks With Bert Reynolds two trailers down for me and I would be smoking in the morning's pot and he'd go Don't you know, there's a federal prison right next door You know, he always so right then and then I got emotional I go, I'm fucking lucky am I I went to see the longest shot all the smoky and banded movies I went to see all that little whorehouse in Texas. I was I was a fan You know when I met him There was two people blew me away at the lunch. It was him and luther

The guy that was in 48 hours and the little boy. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Stephen You never you ever work with him again. Have you ever? No, he was great actor though. We kept in touch for a long time And I would do shows in the city and he would show up Peter Segal He would show up and people go fucking luthers here from 48 hours people would freak the fuck out when they song You know the guy from these from the warriors. He told us. Yeah, he told us how he got that that when he moved he was a musician from detroit and he moved to uh

New york and he lived in the Bronx and he was had a long hair And that every night the italians would play bottles and go dirty hair Come out and play a So when he got warriors, that's where he got that thing with the bottles I mean, it's fucking crazy the shit you learn and all this stuff. Yeah What did you learn from Jennifer Lopez? She's a great actress. She really is um blew me away she is

You know, she kind of went through a little bit what I did in her experience with doing television You know when you crank out 10 pages a day She had to learn it because the old movie business when you're doing two pages a day Two and a half pages a day. It's luxurious and super slow. You're doing 10 pages a day. You better know your shit so she was prepared and When and when an actor is prepared you get to play more you get to try things And uh, it's a very sweet story, you know, it's it's very funny, but it's emotional And um, it's inspirational. It's about, you know, second acts in life

You know when you think that you're you're done and you you know, you talk about it with your podcast You said, you know little less acting and now you've got a new lease on what you're doing You know, and that's what her character goes through in that movie and in a way, you know, I'd done all these Male driven movies This was my second act, you know, I did something very different, you know, it's a sort of a chick flick You know the guys like it too, but I know who my audience is in this one, you know um, but she's great and uh Charming and I got to tell you, you know, um

We've almost worked together a few times over the years, but she's never been bigger She's a freaking Brand. No, she's on tv too, right? She's television. She's vegas She's movies. She's you know, just was the vma, you know video vanguard michael jackson lifetime achievement blah blah blah And she's um I don't know anyone who works Harder, I don't know. I I don't get it how hard she works. She's done the show really yoda Yeah, that's finishing

That's wrapping up and so I think it might have finished and but she's got world of dance, which is huge And like I said, she's still doing vegas. I just heard a commercial You know for vegas thing from the tourism board in nevada and uh, she's got now the movie thing is kicking back And she's sort of not done that in a while. She's got comedy chops though. She does She's got comedy chops. She does. You know what she was good at? You know, it was a bad movie, but she was really good at the hack the levaux story The hack the levaux story was because if you don't remember right One of the costume designers on the longest yard was her costumer for years

Oh, I didn't know the blonde there was the blonde. So the blonde brought in The script to hack the levaux and gave it to me. She goes, I don't know if you know Jennifer's doing this if you see something and you want to audition for it There was really nothing for me to audition for in that movie But she plays a crazy wife a Puerto Rican wife And she's fucking funny. Yeah Like I said the movie she was married to mark anthony at the time. So she shot it with mark anthony The movie's not an academy award winner, but she did pretty fucking good. Yeah, she did. She did really good. So

Did you see yourself At usc college doing all this shit you doing 20 years later 30 years later. When did you graduate from usc? I graduated 84 and um, I wanted to be a pro football player. So I Walked on football team at sc as a punter I was quarterback in high school, but I said I'm not going to make it as a quarterback, but I could kick and made the first two cuts and then got

cut But the coolest thing ironically Again relates back to longest yard the guy who beat me out with Sean Salisbury Who became our quarterback coach from the longest yard? So I got to tell him you ended my football career But thank you because without you I may not have gone into what I'm doing now because I got an internship at local cbs and

That began my Segway into a world. I never thought I'd get into I can never forget this either We're standing there in a circle Sean Salisbury comes in saying hello to everybody. Hey, how you doing? What's going on? I think romanoski goes. What's that fucking mutt doing here? Like, you know, and you know romo said it so he can hear it. Yeah, he goes. What's that fucking mutt doing here and when Sean salisbury was for free from me when he looked at romo romo He goes, what are you here to do teach these quarterbacks how to get sacked?

Oh My god Right through his face Salisbury is like you've never changed that never will get the fuck out of your mutt He was pissed. Oh my god. He goes. What do you do? I'm here to help out the quarterback teach him how to get sacked. What the fuck did you even do get out of here? Oh my god, I never heard that story. No, there was oh, that's a good one couple good shit on there You know, like I said, I was a virgin I had done like 10 movies where I was three days or less

I think the longest day I had the longest stint. I had was a A movie with rodney danger field that there wasn't no character. He liked me so much He just told me when to come in. Yeah. Yeah, we'll find something for you tomorrow kid Just coming I'd have to knock on his door and he'd have a robe on his dick was out his balls around He didn't give a fuck. He's rolling the joint. It's blowing up everywhere Should I come in around jojo come in? What are you? So I had never been In this fucking 17 week We shot so much garbage at the end. Oh, yeah, but I was sitting there going. Why are we still here?

Do you remember the night like everybody was wrapped? It was me and lobo We shot a scene of me tattooing lobo's back. Oh, yeah I do and it was she wanted joy behar, but I put like A rose and bar on his back. Yeah, this door. Oh my god. We can't even remember that we never kept that was the night I mean that had to be eight of us I mean we were shooting like six scenes And fucking adam got a chocolate fountain

What? Talk you think i'm kidding yet, sony. He got a fountain that was made out of chocolate with chocolate fudge With fondue all you did was I stood there for two hours Just fucking farm doing Are you kidding me? We that we did that scene never made it One scene that was just horrible. We could not get to work That was the one of the best scenes in the movie is when they're in the infirmary

In the original it's one of the best scenes in the movie They're throwing toilet paper at each other and they're cheering they just won the guys all hurt in the infirmary We shot that that never made it. It was god awful I don't even remember that me it was like me and two other guys, but I didn't have nobody to work off You didn't give me somebody comedically So you gave me two wrestlers and the guy from the Giants I couldn't do that with him Somebody got that one the championship with the Giants

He was number 55 for the Giants. He was a white dude. Yeah, he was in that movie. It was like a friend to adams and shit Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah You had him in the infirmary all the guards that steve austin who got his dick knocked out And somebody else who got knocked out. I was the only guy that got knocked out by romo So I was in the infirmary. We shot the infirmary scene, which I was excited for I'm like, this is a great scene. I'm throwing toilet paper at them. I'm telling them to go fuck themselves. We just Yeah, well it was Well, see you're a comic at least you know

When it's bad, you know, and you're not comedic. Oh, I knew that one. I'm killing when I walked out of that scene I go they're not gonna have that. That was just that bad. That was just that bad. Are you happy you're doing what you're doing? I am I am you know what one thing it and we're talking so much about the longest yard, but there's Nothing closer that I can imagine to actually being a performer Then when I go into a theater and watch one of my movies that is Rockin And I remember our final test screening in las vegas For longest yard. We got a 94

My heart was gonna come out of my chest because like when You know Nellie's streaking for the touchdown and and chris bermas going. Hey, could go the whole crowd go Oh Wait when you're talking about the original longest yard And that the crowd stood the crowd was cheering This movie during the game like it was an actual game And I thought my if you took my pulse, it'd be like 150 beats per minute. It was One of the coolest things ever walked out and um basra said

Dude, this movie's gonna blow up. I remember calling chris rock from my phone saying I wish you were here tonight in las vegas It was That's the type of thing that makes me love what I do There's a lot of crap that you got to do is very very hard a lot harder than people think But when you can have a night like that You know, it's it makes it all worth it. So one couple last questions. So the When a movie goes over budget Pete, they blame you blame me. Here's the thing my movies have not Gone over budget. I'm I'm pretty honest about that pretty honest. That's weird. I am honest about that

But you know what james cameron's little movie called titanic Went way over budget almost by double Didn't matter 11 academy awards one of the biggest hits of all time I could be on budget and have a bomb Doesn't matter that I was on budget. It was a bomb So i'm not I don't want to sound this way and make studio exacts nervous hearing this but it almost doesn't matter I've seen people rewarded for one And you know

Shit on for the other You just got to make it if you go over budget and you win 11 academy awards. They suck your dick and core You're shorty exactly if you go over budget and you eat a bag of dicks Yeah, then you're fucked. You can't go you can't even get a table at fucking the You go into direct directors jail. It's it's so weird how it's Everything is your what off your last movie. That's it. Yeah, and in today's economy in today's world It's money. Yep, which the money's not what it used to be. You know people aren't going to the movies. They got Netflix They got this they got that

You're in a tough business and when I asked you about the stress it's just because I'll tell you what man For three years, I had a hard time with comedy the last three years And I let the audience get to me. I wanted them to leave Having a good experience. I know what you have to go through to come watch me. You have to get a babysitter You have to get your wife all dolled up. She's got to shave her monkey. You got to shave your monkey There's a lot to go into a comedy show or a movie theater with your wife, especially in today's economy So if you pay 2750 to come see you I want to be the best I can so I play it safe

I play it safe. I played on the budget. I stayed to a certain time I finally realized I got to be myself So I don't give a fuck no more the audience is going to love me whether they know it or not Just because I stepped out on stage and that's How I I don't want to work on a movie set Like the longest yard was two changes New mexico was relaxed as fuck And then california was now we got cameras on us

Everybody's watching us. I felt the difference. I felt looser In whatever and it's it's a healthier environment So for you to fake the funk And say that you want the stress you had me fooled because I lapped my ass option I mean I had my rough days because I was just that out of shape You know when you guys were training They were walking me around the field with an oxygen tank

I do remember that two hoses in my nose because I couldn't even breathe in that elevation. So These guys right push-ups. Yeah, I forgot the elevation the elevation the elevation was I was 400 pounds So I had an oxygen coach That would just give me oxygen and make me do like little push-ups That was my training like just get the move your feet up. That's all I was doing. He was all right. You're good I Peter seagull, I'm happy you took time out of your busy day.
