  Speaker 1: of Minnesota.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Right last time you were.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: I just flew in Straight from the Woods two days ago.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I like it. I like it man.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be back though.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you checking in because I said, when you
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: get your new film out, or it's about to come out,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: come and talk about it. London Calling is about to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: hit theater September nineteenth.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: This one looks fun?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: What's this one about?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: You know? This is a movie with a director I
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: did another movie with called Bennett a few years ago,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: and he was talking to me about this script for years,
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: and you know, he finally sends it over to me,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: and I was like, why did you take three years
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: to send me this script? You know, I'm perfect for
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: this man. My vision isn't what he used to be.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I'm a terrible shot film father this and I'm custom
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: made for this character. So that was, you know, and
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I just loved the sort of throwback nostalgic nature of
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: the buddy cop thing that this is. But it's about
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: a hitman who has bit past his prime, has lost
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: his step, and is forced out of London after he
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: shoots the wrong person to relocate in LA and is
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: working for this low rent mob boss played by Rick Hoffman,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: and in return for being able to go back and
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: getting security to go see his son in London. Yeah,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: he has to take Rick's son on a hit. Of course, goes.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Terribly wrong, and it takes place in La.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Well, it starts in London and then we end up
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: a year later in LA but you know, nothing shoots
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: in LA anymore. So we shot it in Cape Town.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Oh god, oh wow. Okay, your co star Jeremy Ray Taylor.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: A lot of people probably remember from the IT movies.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: H Oh yeah, you kind of take on a father
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: son roll with him in the film, right, Yeah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's That's one of the parts I really loved
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: in the script is that you know, my character has
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: hasn't measured up as a father and and realizes this
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: as he spends this time with this kid on this
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: during this this this time there on this job, and so,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: you know, as reluctant as he is to you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: take this kid with him and toughen him up as
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: his father wants me to do, he really sort of
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: realizes by looking at this kid that he's he needs
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: to make things right with his own kid. There you go.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I like that, man, I like that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I also saw in your ig you were wrapping up
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the editing on your new movie Preschool. Yep, you have

• 2:42
  Speaker 3: a movie that I directed in London call called Preschool,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: and yeah, it's it's it's so fun man. It's about
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: two dads who are fighting the kid into the last
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: spot in the super high end pretentious preschool, and uh,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: they will sabotage and undermine each other until they win,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: and it's fun. Kind of went through I think we
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: could relate in Los Angeles.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, I just kind of went
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: through that with my daughter and this all girls Catholics.
• 3:05

• 3:08

  Speaker 3: I was like, I would hope. So, I mean, what
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: are the requirement right exactly months?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: By the way, it's a big hustle too.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Would they charge at these damp I mean they're learning
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to color, barely to read. You can't be charging that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: much that it's a it's a big hustle out there, and.

• 3:40
  Speaker 1: in the boating accident, because I remember seeing was the
• 3:43

  Speaker 2: was that was incredible. Man, I'm glad this.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Is uh, this is being made into a movie. That

  Speaker 1: must have been pretty intense or how was that? How
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: was that experience?
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: It was? We shot that in Malta. Joe Carnahan directed that.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: He's awesome dude. I really loved working with him and
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: we just you know, we had a I was only
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: there for about a week and a half, but it
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: was an intense week and a half and it is
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: a true story. Yeah, so you know, I guess happy
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: ish ending, but you know they told it as realistically
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: as it happened. So yeah, I'm excited for that one
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: to come out.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. That's gonna be really cool.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: And finally, you got another flick coming out next year
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: called The Neglected, about a serial killer.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Well, we're going through all of them, were going through,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: were going through the whole thing.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Man, Maybe I need to be home spending more time
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: with my kids.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or bring them along. No, it's a hell. The
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: space is healthy. I always tell my wife, the space
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: is healthy.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I remember I talked to Dylan Sprousse about this one.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I think this last week too. What can you tell
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: me about it?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah? David Lipper directed. It was a This is one
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: of the darker movies that I've done. I loved like
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: it was just one of those that you literally sit
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: on the edge of your seat the whole time because
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: it all happens within a ten hour period. Oh that's cool,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: desperately trying to find his kid before Sprouse's character, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: ends him. So it was. It was one of those
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: sort of edge your seat type movies that I hadn't
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: done so it was it was a fun It was
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: a really fun movie that we shot that in Mississippi.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Nice all over the place. Football season about to kick off,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of course. How you feeling about your Vikings this year?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I feel good. I feel really good. I like you're
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: like me.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Every year I feel good.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: As a Vikings fan, it's always this is our year,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: this is our year, our year. But I do I
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: do feel like last year none of us thought we
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: had a shot, and then you know we Darnold comes
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: through and plays like a hero and we think we're
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: going to win the super Bowl. Of course, they'll find
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: a new way to break our hearts over year. But
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I do think that this year, with this defense, revamped
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: O line, justin Jefferson and Addison and Hawkinson, we got
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: all the weapons on offense. The big question mark is
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy. I think he's going to be good. Yeah,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I know he's a winner, and I know he's got
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: O'Connell sort of mentoring him. So I think we have
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: a good shop. But that NFC North is tough.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It's tough, man, It's you never know, I mean, it's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the NFL. It's not like uh, baseball. You have the perennial,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: same team, it's got it sort of winning it it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Who's your team, Chargers. I'm the one Chargers fan. I'm
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: a Chargers fan.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: They got a nice they got a really I mean again,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: you got you got Harba, you always got a chance,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: and you got a great quarterback.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: We got a great quarterback. We got a great quarterback.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: We got a nice little nucleus. A right tackle got
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: heard our Pro Bowl guys signed a big deal Slater
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and he got hurt.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: But that's all right. We still got all So I'm
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: feeling good too. Feels good about this year. Every year.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I'm like your whole thing. But that's a tough division.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: With the Chiefs and with the Raider.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I'm not better.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Denver is getting better.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Rad Yeah, they're all good. That is going to be
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: a tough one.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: You've been a biking stand your whole life, right, pretty.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I was also a Cowboys fan growing up.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Always been a well, well, how did up there?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I think I think that when I left home back
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: in ninety four, Oh so.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: You left before what was it ninety eight? My brother
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in law played on that team, the NFC championship team

  Speaker 2: Team, Yeah he was. He was defense highly wong, he
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: was me. Yeah, he was on the He was in the.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Vikings for six years and then went to play with
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the Texans for four.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that was another heartbreaker.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: That was a heartbreaker. Anderson, I remember I was. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: was because I aimost following the Vikings all that time.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: He remember he made every field gold. He hadn't missed
