Dave Franco: Blunt Rotations, Body Counts, & Bad Meat (Full Episode)

What is up, daddy gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy. >> Dave Franco, welcome to Caller Daddy. >> Thank you so much. >> How are you feeling right now? >> I'm feeling pretty good. How are you feeling? >> I feel like this is kind of like a random matchup. >> Tell me, tell me why. >> I mean, I usually interview more women. >> Oh, okay. >> I do enjoy interviewing men. I feel like we haven't obviously like crossed paths ever. And I remember when I was talking to my team, I

was like, I think we could I think we could do something interesting here. >> I agree. And I just want to start by saying, um, I first off, everything you're saying is accurate. Um, but I did watch your documentary, which I Absolutely loved. Oh my god, thank you. And, uh, it was just me at home by myself just crying my eyes out. And >> and what I want to say is I actually think we have a lot in common. Um, and this is just kind of what I took and please tell me if I'm wrong,

but I think just kind of how you approach work, um, I really relate to it in the sense that >> it just seems like, um, you're almost incapable of doing anything halfass. Yes. >> Um, you everything you do, you want it to be unique and original and surprising. Uh, it seems like you love being a leader, but you also really appreciate and respect everyone around you and recognize this is a collaboration. And also you work with your partner and you guys just build each other up in such a sweet way and I relate to all

of that. >> Dave, how am I supposed to now go and roast you? Like I thought I was like, "All right, Dave, now you're you're I'm about to start crying." No, I really appreciate that because obviously I know you and we're going to get to that work with your wife and which I like respect so much and I always think it's so funny when people are like how the [ __ ] do you work with your partner? >> I know everyone asks it and they ask it in that tone and I'm like no no no

you're projecting on me because you're thinking about what it would be like Working with your own partner like this works. Don't put that on us >> right like you guys have your own [ __ ] over there but we couldn't be happier. It's the easiest part of my job. >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you for saying that though because you know how it is when you put out a piece of work and you're so anxious and wanting people to enjoy it, but then you also have to stay true to yourself and make sure that creatively

Even if people don't like it, like this is what I want to do and this is what I'm going to do. And so it was a risk, but I'm happy you liked it >> 100%. And um I I feel like one thing that I have gotten better at over the years is really holding on to that idea where if I make something that I am genuinely proud of, of course I want it to resonate with audiences. Of course I want people to see it, but at the end of the day it's like I wouldn't have

done This any differently and so I got to be happy with that. >> So true. I mean it sucks when it bombs, but you know, >> you're like, "Okay, maybe I do need to go a little bit more mainstream on that next time." But it's very humbling. Okay. Usually when someone comes and sits down with me, I stalk them on social media just to like catch a vibe. Right. You don't have social media. That's correct. Yeah. >> Are you a very private person? >> I generally am. Um which makes kind of doing like promo for

any movie um a little strange because it's not like it's not me in my element. But at the same time, I've also gotten much better at this where I recognize this is a big part of my job and I'm just going to lean in and I'm going to do my best and I'm going to be as vulnerable as we as I can be, but um yeah, I'm not on social media and I it kind of comes from a Place of um being a little scared of it. Um, I I think I've gotten uh to a

place in my life where I've surrounded myself with really kind people who I love and trust. And so I have my like really warm little bubble and I know that if I'm on social media, it's like no matter who you are, you're going to receive some hate every single day. And I just didn't want to invite that into my daily life. >> Everyone's watching like, "Yes, Dave. Preach Dave. Same Dave." Okay. How do You get intel on people? Uh, like on >> if you're like I guess you're a guy. You're do you don't even want

the drama. You know the T. >> Yes, I don't. >> Do you know what the T means? You know what the T? >> Of course. >> I'm not that old. >> Do you know what the renegade is? >> No, I am that old. >> It's a trend on Tik Tok. >> What is it? Tell me. >> It's a dance. Okay. >> Charlie Deilio was like really known for it. Do you know who that is? >> I was I was hoping you weren't going to follow up with that question. >> Sip of water. I'm getting parched.

Hold on. Dave is literally like, I'm going to just say yes to things, but then when she asks me like, explain, you're going to be like, so no, but you know what Tik Tok is? >> Of course. >> Do you ever take thirst traps like just for yourself? >> Uh, what do you mean take thirst traps? >> I know what a thirst trap is, but what do you mean to take one? >> Like, do you ever just like, you know, take like a dashing selfie? >> Oh. Oh, just for me. Um, no. I'll I'll do

it for Allison every once in a while. >> That's cute. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. How do you feel about opening up to the Daddy Gang today? >> I feel pretty good about it actually. I I you know, since watching the documentary, since listening to some episodes, um I just I I feel like I I feel comfortable with your energy and um as you said, when I got here, you got me and I trust that >> we're not going to [ __ ] this up. >> Has there ever been a time though that you've

done an interview or just like in Your life that you've overshared and then regretted it later? >> Oh man. Um, I'm sure, oh god, I mean, whatever it is, I probably don't want to bring it up again now. I'm sure I I want it to be buried, but my wife is a massive oversharer. Uh, she would admit that herself. Uh, you meet her and she will whatever you want to know. >> You're like, "Babe, babe, no." And she's like, "One second, Dave." Anyway, so our Family drama. And you're like, "The [ __ ] are you

saying?" >> Talking about my dick all of a sudden. And I'm just like, "Babe, Jesus Christ." >> Did you tell anyone in your life that you were doing this day? And like, what were their thoughts? >> Of course. Yeah. And the the honest truth is that like uh you know, my publicist, my the the distributor of this film, all they want to know is about is when are you doing caller? >> What are you doing? Call her daddy. >> Call her daddy. And I was like, "Guys, chill and stop putting pressure on this. >> I'm

dead." But yes, everyone loves you and is very excited about this. >> Okay, so do you want to start with your sex life or your childhood drama? >> Jesus Christ. >> I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm obsessed. We're going to start easy. >> Okay. >> I'm going to literally just like give You a few things and you're just going to tell me your first reaction, how you feel about them. How do we feel about Zins? >> Oh man, I don't know what that is. I'm so sorry. >> Can I guess what this is? >>

Yeah. I think. Is it like dip? Yes. Oh, good. Okay. Oh, I do know this. Okay. Okay. >> Do What is your vice? Like, do you don't do >> Zins? I definitely don't. Um I My vice Oh my god. Uh I mean I'm the guy who I'm the guy who's getting frisky when he like splits a second glass of wine with his wife at dinner. >> That's so [ __ ] real. How old are you? >> I'm 40. I just turned 40. >> Oh my god. That No, that tracks. cuz I feel like once you

hit 30s, 40s, you're like, "Wine? I am insane." Like, I'm starting to feel that way getting into my 30s now. I'm like, I just had two Glasses of wine. I'm like at the club. I'm sitting in my kitchen. But I feel like I'm at the club. You know what I mean? >> Totally. Yeah. It takes you out for the next week. >> Week week. Emphasis on week, not day. Okay. How do you feel about the term short kings? >> I'm okay with that. I I'm not trying to lie and pretend like I'm I'm not what

I am. I think I've embraced this many Years ago. And it's funny because like you know what it is what it is. And I think people like try to try to come at you for this thing that I can't even control. And I'm like it's fine. Like I you know I guess the main thing is my wife's down with it and she's a little bit shorter than me. So that's good too. >> And she's stunning, gorgeous, successful, smart, all the things. So like you're doing something right. Okay. magic tricks. >> Um I I assume you

bring this up because I've been in three magic movies. >> Yes. >> Um I feel good about it. I uh I I weirdly am like very good at throwing cards. Um it's like kind of what my character does in the movie. And I remember on the first one when I was learning how to do it, I had like stacks and stacks of cards and it was just me in my apartment in New Orleans throwing cards against the wall until my arm went Dead. But now I can like cut a banana in half and people are

like, "Do you so do you carry cards with you everywhere?" And I'm like, "No, I also am not gonna be the guy who shows up at a party and is like, "Hey guys, check this out." >> That's literally almost as bad as the guy that like pulls out his guitar at a party and you're like, >> "Yes, it's it's worse. >> John, stop." Like, you're not John Mayer. Shut the [ __ ] up. Totally, >> dude. Okay, but do you feel like people at parties are like looking for you to do party tricks now? >>

It comes up, but again, no one has a deck of cards on them, so I get out of it pretty easy. >> That's fair. >> Yeah. There you go. Okay. Men with cats. >> I mean, >> yeah. >> If there was anything that defined me, um, you know, when I when I met Allison, I was the single guy with two 18lb cats. And as I know, as you can imag, we called them the Panthers. And, um, as you can imagine, that kind of weeds out the dating pool a bit. Um, not a lot of girls

are down with that. >> Wait, D, rewind. >> Yeah. >> Eight two 18lb cows. >> What, when, how, why? You know, a lot of people are like, "Did you overfeed them? Were they fat?" No, they were big, Proportionate cats. They just had big heads and their bodies followed suit. >> What? >> And did you get them at the same time? >> Yeah, they're brothers. >> Why did you decide cats were for you? >> We grew up with cats. >> Okay. Yes. Yes. I assume um with your tonality that you did not. >> Well, no. And

I maybe this is me being like So, this is this is definitely a sexist comment, but like I don't think Of men and calf as much. It's more of like a female thing, which is like so [ __ ] up to say, but I'm going to say it. Um, it's not that bad. And, you know, like, internet, chill. We don't need to cancel me over saying men don't go with cats that well. But cats. Okay. And did you think about your dating life when you got the cats? >> No. No. The cats came first. Uh,

and they were going to decide who I should be. >> Perfect. Perfect. And Alison loved them, so you were fine. >> Yes. And what ended up happening was um we had been dating for a few months and I was spending most nights at her place and um the cats were feeling neglected. And so at one point I said to her I was like, "Hey, I'm not asking to move in, but is it cool if my cats move into your place cuz we're over here all the time?" >> No. >> So we moved my cats in

technically Before I moved in. >> You bring the litter box. >> Truly. Yeah. >> That is I love that for you, Dave. >> Thank you. >> Okay. How do we um feel about crying during romcoms? >> Oh, yeah. all about it. I love a romcom. Um, the second movie I directed was a romcom. >> Um, >> favorite romcom. >> Ooh, I mean >> gosh, the first ones that come to mind, Nodding Hill, When Harry Met Sally >> classics, um, uh, Sleepless, Sleepless in Seattle. Oh my god, I remember. What's yours? >> Oh, I would have

to say Sleepless in Seattle growing up, but then The Proposal with Sandra Bulan. Yeah. So F. Oh my god. Um, okay. Keeping your childhood nickname. >> I mean, that's my life. >> Yeah, let's talk about it. >> Okay. Yeah. Okay. So, what is your childhood nickname? >> Well, uh Davey. Um and most people in my life still call me Davey. >> Really? Yeah. >> Does your wife call you Davey? >> What does she call me? >> I guess she calls me babe. >> Okay. Yeah. She rarely I feel like sometimes when Matt calls me Alex,

I'm like, am I in trouble? Definitely. >> Cuz he never calls me Alex. Then I'm like, what did I do? >> I know. I know. And so my my real name is David, but no one has ever really called me that. And when I was a kid, uh my brother had a had this kid in his um in his class named David that he hated. So he said, "You're not going to be named David." That's how I became Davey. And I guess you know the people that know me well, most people call me Davey. >>

So Dave is almost like formal for you >> a little bit. >> This is like this you're Yeah. You're like Dave Franco here, but then Davey at home. >> By the end of this interview, you'll be calling me Davey. >> Perfect. Perfect. Okay. One of your first roles was in Superb Bad and Jonah Hill calls you out for pissing your pants. >> Correct. >> Looking back, what was one of the most Embarrassing things that ever happened to you in school? >> Ooh. Okay. While I think about that, let me just talk about that scene in

Super Bad real quick. Um, so I had a journey with that scene in and of itself where um I I only have a few lines in this movie, but the movie was so big that people did recognize me on the street and they were yelling at me, "Why don't you go piss your pants again?" And I quickly realized like, I got to keep Working and getting get more jobs so I'm not piss boy for the rest of my life. That is so real. [ __ ] my life. >> Um, okay. So, I guess on theme

with that, okay, I remember going to a party in high school. I was probably a junior, and this like cool senior guy comes up to me, this like football player, and he's and he says, "We're going to sit down and we're going to we're going to share this fifth of vodka, and we're not Leaving until we finish it." And I'm like, "Cool." And uh you know, he's a big guy. He can handle his alcohol. I am not a big person. I was even smaller then, but I was trying to fit in. and he was like

the cool older guy. So, we do it and I black out and my friends, you know, tell me after the fact that people are sticking pens down my throat to get me to throw up. Uh, cut to a couple hours later, I wake up on the floor of my friend's bedroom. I don't know where I am. I have pissed myself. I waddle to the bathroom to try to clean up. I turn on the lights and look in the mirror and I have penises drawn over every inch of my face. >> D. >> I know. So,

so I don't have the energy or the strength to wash it off. I just want to get home to my bed. So, I finally make it home. I get in bed and almost immediately my mom comes in my bedroom and before she says anything, I Say, "I have penises on my face." She says, "I can see that, honey." And my sweet mom, she lets me sleep it off. Um, but I have not uh I wouldn't say I have not drink uh drank vodka since, but I despise vodka. I was gonna ask you like is there

an alcohol because for me I cannot even smell fireball like I will [ __ ] projectile vomit. So yours is vodka. >> Yes. And in college god what was the really cheap stuff? Pop off. Pop off. >> Oh um or >> No. Wait. What the [ __ ] is that? >> I'm old. >> No. No. But pop off. Pop off. Pop off. Pop off. Dave. I mean you popped off. Okay. So that was your No. No. No. Never again. >> No. Ever again. Yeah. I thought you were gonna say and then from then on I

never had penises drawn on my face again. >> Oh, I'm wondering if that ever happened again. >> I can't say no, but nothing comes to mind. >> Okay, that is really sad. And I I now need to know like what was young Dave like? Like did you go through an awkward phase? >> Man, um I was I was debilitatingly shy. Um I was the kid who said like six words out loud in middle school. I was just so quiet. And you know, I remember I had I had a crush on this girl in sixth grade

and I heard that like maybe she might Sort of be kind of interested. And I was like, "Okay, I'm going to seal the deal. I'm going to get her a present." So, I went to I went to 7-Eleven and I got her like a big bag of candy. And so, I come to lunch the next day and I had this whole like thing in my head. It was going to be this big romantic gesture. And when I was kind of confronted with the moment, um, just the anxiety took over. So what happened was kind of

saw her from a distance. Um she was under The under this tree with her friends and I started running at her and when I got close enough I threw the bag of candy and continued running away without breaking stride. >> You literally did a hit and run. >> And um safe to say we didn't end up together. But that that's a good representative of who I was at the time. got so innocent and pure and like you can't even go up to her and give her candy. >> Truly. Truly. >> D Why do you think

you were so shy? >> God, I I don't I don't know. I really don't. I mean, I I kind of I got out of my shyness towards the end of high school, but um you know, I was just a really sensitive kid. Like I was the guy who was listening to Goooo Dolls and Counting Crows and like the first John Mayer album, Room for Squares and like you know I I actually did I I had a Longerterm girlfriend in high school and I would you know again I was writing I was writing her poetry and

like I I but it was like it was the type of poetry like my process at the time was I would write everything out like in very simple terms and then I would get a thesaurus And with every word in the poem, I would find like the most flowery version of that word. And so these poems were like, You know, consisted of words like uh, you know, bespoke and languid and chartreuse. >> Wait, and did your girlfriend love these or >> I don't know. I might have forced this on. >> Holy [ __ ] you

like playing like Iris in the background like Anna give up you and you're like my dear lover that is so [ __ ] amazing. Wait, were you bullied at all? >> You know, I wasn't. That was the thing. I wasn't the shy kid who got bullied. I was just left on his own. >> But but I did have good friends. I I will say I I had really great friends, but we we had like kind of the group who we weren't the most popular. We weren't unpopular. We were just kind of there. We were playing

ultimate frisbee at lunch. >> That is so that really really paints the picture. The guys in high school that Were playing ultimate frisbee. I'm trying to think. Yeah. Okay. That tracks with then like the poems. >> Sure. And the two 18lb cats. It's all it's all lining up. But that I feel like is when women look back, they're like, "And that is who I should have [ __ ] married." But instead, I talked to the [ __ ] douchebag that made me cry my eyes out every five [ __ ] seconds. That That makes sense.

Um I think a lot of people in the beginning of your Career were always like, "Okay, this guy is always playing kind of like a high schooler and it almost is like he's aging backwards." >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Dave, talk to me about the skincare routine. >> Oh, wow. Um, you know, the skincare routine is basically Allison's skincare routine. I've stolen everything from her. Why wouldn't I? She looks incredible. >> So [ __ ] real. Men have no idea what they're doing that Matt says the same thing to me. He's like, "What's that you're putting

on under your eyes shy to be doing that?" And I'm like, "Matt, what?" He has one lotion that he puts on his body and his face. And I'm like, >> "Honey, >> but you got to start early before it's too late. You got to get that sunscreen in your daily moisturizer. Are you messing around with like snail mucin? >> Yeah. No. Yeah. Legit. >> You're like, Alison, do we have snail muc? >> Yeah. Honestly, not know, but I can't confirm for sure. >> You don't even know what's going on your face. How many steps are

in the routine? How about that? >> Ooh. Um, I'm going to say like three or four. >> Have you heard of like the um salmon sperm that people are putting on their Face? >> Go on. >> Would you try it? >> Uh, tell me more. >> It's very hydrating. >> Okay. Do you use it? >> Um, I've tried the snail mucin. I haven't tried the um salmon sperm. >> You were just selling it hard. >> Well, I've heard Kim Kardashian has put it on her face, so I'm like, "Ooh, should I try this?" >> You're

open to it. >> I'm open. >> Dipping a toe in. >> Would you be open? >> If Allison does it, I'll do it. >> Okay, perfect. Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Tinder. Daddy Gang.

What was the most trouble that you ever got into in high school? >> Oh god, not much. >> You didn't like get arrested? >> No. No. Uh ooh my my brothers both got arrested and I think because of that and they're five and seven years older than me and I think because of that my parents they they were just very tired by the time I came along. I was

definitely a mistake. My mom says the best mistake She ever made. Uh but they kind of let me do my thing because they just didn't have the energy. And I think because of that I didn't feel the need to rebel. So, I was a pretty good kid. >> That makes so much sense cuz I feel like if you have wilder older siblings, like my older siblings were not wild. So, I was like the one truly wreaking havoc in my house where my mom was like, "Okay, Alex, like we can do this." Like, >> what was

the worst type of thing you Would do? >> Oh my god. Like I literally ordered like a [ __ ] at that time there was an Amazon so I ordered like this like retractable ladder off of eBay and I tried to figure how to put bolt into the bottom of my room and then I would flip it over my window so I could climb out to go see my boyfriend who had a DUI at the time and when he picked me up he was had like literally the backwards hat, the earrings and he was like

driving so [ __ ] slow to his house and I was like we why are you driving so slow? My parents are going to be home soon and we have to get home. He's like, "Oh, no. Like, I have a DUI, so like I can't like I'm driving on like I don't have a license right now." And I literally was like, "So hot. Like, Alex, wake up, honey. This is not hot. This is problematic." But at the time, I just was like a little rebellious with boys. But you were like sitting in your room Writing

poetry. >> Exactly. >> You weren't getting in trouble. No, this is okay. Um, you said that you got cast in 21 Jump Street because of the sketches that you were doing on Funny or Die. >> Oh. Oh. >> First of all, can you explain to people that may not know what that is? What is Funny or Die? And then also what were I I know. I'm sorry. You're like, "Okay, Alex, remind me one more time." No. No. >> Um, okay. Funny or Die was basically um a comedy sketch website run by uh Will Frell, Jud

Appattow, and Adam McKay, who were like who were and are some of the best, you know, comedy people ever. Anyway, um I I started making videos for them with um one of my closest friends who I grew up with and uh basically it was kind of my film school. We were we were writing these videos. We were acting in them, Directing them, editing them and um you know, we were making some weird stuff. This was like where we we figured like let's push the boundaries. Let's try things. And worst case scenario, no one sees them.

But best case scenario, the the if a video hit on Funny or Die at the time, that website was so big that like more people could see it than if you did an independent film. And so the stuff that we were doing, >> oh my god, what >> kind of bringing it back to 21 Jump Street. So with 21 Jump Street, uh that audition process was very arduous. I went in like six or seven times for that movie. And towards the end of that process, I put out a video on Funny or Die where me

and my good buddy Chrisman Plus, we made a video called You're So Hot where we basically told each other in vivid detail how much we wanted to [ __ ] each other. And uh a after I landed the role in 21 Jump Street, the Directors told me, they were like, "Part of the reason we gave this to you is because we saw that video and we recognized that this guy understands comedy." >> Oh my god. But believe it or not, that's not the weirdest video we put up. Um, I put up a video called Go

[ __ ] Yourself where it's it's me and a girlfriend at the beginning. Um, we're breaking up and as as she's leaving she says, "Why don't you go [ __ ] yourself?" And so then it Cuts to me in a bar and I um end up meeting another version of myself. And you can kind of see where this is going, but we it cuts to us on the beach and we're having this like very cute beach day together. It's two versions of me. We're flying a kite. We're pushing each other on the swings. And then

it hard cuts to me [ __ ] myself so hard where the top version of me is like flexing. And I remember sending the first cut to Funny or die and let's say the video is like, you know, 2 and 1/2 minutes. I think like 45 seconds of that was me [ __ ] myself. And they were like, "Okay, this is this is pretty good, but um you know, maybe make the sex scene like 3 seconds." >> You don't love this. >> It's incredible. >> To be fair, 3 seconds was like probably still too gratuitous.

>> You're like, I thought it was like Cinematic history. I mean, they're like, can you cut it to a third? That is okay. Wow, that really paints the picture. But while you were saying that, I couldn't help but think also like, wait, where did you grow up? >> I grew up in Palo Alto in Northern California. Okay. So, obviously you had family that was in the industry. Like your brother was getting into it and you say you're a shy kid. How did you know you even wanted to get into this Industry? >> Um, you know,

I when I was when I was 14, I worked at a mom and pop video store and it was actually illegal for me to be working there at that age. And so, they basically paid me by allowing me to take home as many movies as I wanted. And it was the year 1999 which is now regarded as one of the best movie years ever. And it's like all these seminal films like um The Matrix, Blair Witch Project, American Beauty, American Pie, Fight Club, uh Being John Malk Malovich, like all these amazing films that have kind

of like formed me ever since. And so that was that was like the perfect time to be working there and just got me into movies in general. And I was like, I just want to be a part of this any way I can. And so when I came out to I'm going on a tangent now, sorry. But >> I I came out to LA originally to go to school. I was going to USC. And when I came down here, my brother's manager, he Kind of forced me into this acting class, but I had never performed

in any way. And again, I was very shy. And I I remember being in this class and I was I hated it at first because I was just like every time I was on stage, I was so nervous. But in the back of my head, I was like, "This is a path into this business." And I I want to stick it out. And over time, I really do think that helped bring me out of my shell a little bit. And it's kind of led to this like Amazing thing now where of course I've like grown

to really love acting, but now I'm lucky enough where I get to do some stuff behind the camera, too, where I get to kind of go back and forth and and do a little bit of everything that I've always wanted to do. >> Wow. That's really cool though to hear like knowing your childhood and being like you were like more introverted, you're writing, you're not as, you know, social. And then I do feel like I've Talked to enough actors that were like a lot of us are were like considered like maybe like the weirder kids

or we were shy and then this kind of like brought aside out of you. >> Um, okay. We're going to do a little hard pivot here. >> Okay. >> We'll talk about surprise parties. >> Okay. You've done some research. >> I need you to talk about the time that Your wife tried to throw you a surprise party. You need to tell us a story. >> Let me drink some water to get into this. >> Take a drink cuz I think the daddy king needs to hear this cuz I think this also does kind of paint

more of the picture of you as a person. >> Yes. Okay. So, so Allison and I had been together just for a few months and my birthday was coming up and I will preface this by Saying everything she did was coming from such a sweet place. She was really trying to do something kind for me, but we just didn't know each other that well yet. And so, in her mind, she was like, "I'm going to throw him a surprise party. I'm going to invite all these people. It's going to be incredible." Not knowing that like

my perfect birthday is going out to the middle of nowhere, just being with her. I don't want anyone to talk to me. Don't look at Me. Just want to be in nature just by ourselves. So, um, basically what happens is I I come home one day and I open the door and it's a bunch of people. Not only is this a surprise party, but it's like a um I think it was a Back to the Future themed party. So, they everyone was dressed up and they had a little Marty McFly outfit for me. And I'm

looking around and some people are my friends, but some people I Haven't talked to in many many years and there was a reason for that. And so I I uh decide to cope with this. I need to take or I need to consume uh a weed cookie. Um and I ended up having um the first panic attack of my life. Uh, and just to kind of like just to kind of like give you the picture of how many people were there and how random this was. Um, uh, my mom so my mom was there. Um,

she she flew out for it, but like she went to the 101 Cafe the next morning and the waiter at the 101 Cafe comes up to her and he's like, "Hey, I'm so sorry. This is so weird, but are you Betsy Franco?" And she's like, "Yeah." And he's like, "Oh, sorry. Sorry. I just I almost went to your son's surprise party last night." >> No. No, >> the random guy at the 101 cafe was almost there. I'm remembering someone was dressed up as cocaine. Uh, it was it was a whole thing. And so we we

still Talk today. We we survived the surprise party. We can survive anything. But every birthday since has been us in the middle of nature. >> Okay, hold on. >> Yes. >> How the [ __ ] did she come up with the list of people she was inviting? What ended up happening was she went to two of my friends that she had met who I adore these people, but I would not assign them to make the guest list for My surprise party. So, they started adding people. Those people started adding people. You know, my manager's assistant's

best friend's sister was there. It it just it got weird. >> Picturing you thinking like, I'm going to take this edible cuz this is going to put me right where I need to be. And then what are you like in the bathroom or in your bedroom? Uh, eventually eventually I was downstairs and I was like, "Everyone needs to leave." And of Course, the guy dressed as cocaine would not leave. >> No. No. That's so real. You're like, "Bro, get the [ __ ] out of my house." That is Wow. Okay, so now she's never done

it again and now you guys just chill. >> Go to nature. Yeah. >> What is it about being the center of attention that makes you uncomfortable? >> It's funny saying this on this podcast right now, but I don't love talking About myself. And I think part of that is um as as much as I I think I um have gotten over my shyness to a certain extent. I think my um just my natural being is I I still am an introvert. Uh and also like I know everything about me and I'm bored of me and

I'm a very curious person and I tend to ask a lot of questions. If you talk to anyone who knows me like some people call me 20 questions and so I'm more like I want to Know more about other people than continuing to talk about myself. Okay. Well, that's a great quality to have. At least you're not like a narcissist and self-centered. >> I hope so. >> This is good. This is great information, Dave. See, this is this is >> Is it all It feels like it's all lining up. Yeah. Yeah. There's a couple outliers,

but like >> it's very cohesive. >> Yeah. >> And the cats are the main grounding point. >> I agree with that. >> Okay. So, you end up dropping out of college. >> Yeah. >> And you go to do a horror movie >> that never made it to theaters. >> Let me tell you about this. >> Yeah. Tell me tell me everything. >> Okay. So, I got um a month away from Graduating, >> okay? >> And I got this my first lead role in a project and I was telling my teachers like, "Please let me finish

from online somehow. Let me do this from afar. It's only a month left." And they were like, "No, you have to be here." So, I was like, "All right, I'm I'm this is what I want to do. I'm going to go do this movie." So, I drop out. Uh I go to Winnipeg, Canada. Winnipeg. Um uh yeah, >> my husband's made movies there. >> Okay. Yeah. So, we were there in the dead of winter staying on what they considered the windiest corner in all of Canada. Very brutal conditions. Um, it was this very physically demanding

shoot. So, I I got very hurt on this one as well. I dislocated my shoulder. I lost my voice a couple times from screaming so much, bruises all over my body, but I was having the time of my life. I'm like, I'm doing the work. I'm Really doing this thing I want to do. So, there was two weeks to go in the movie and I remember I had the day off and the main girl, she she knocks on my door and I'm like, "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be on set." And she's

like, "Shit's going down." So, we find out that they hadn't been paying the crew for weeks. We find out they have no money left. >> That'll do it. >> Yeah. So, we all go home. We're waiting For the call for them to be like, "We've spent millions of dollars. Let's come back and finish these final two weeks." We never go back. So, I was devastated. I dropped out of school for this. I I dislocated my shoulder for this. This was my first lead role. >> In hindsight, >> probably best that it fell apart. So, this

was a um it was a bee horror movie called Bad Meat, and the tagline was it's the meat, it's bad. Uh so, >> stop. So, what I found out recently, uh, this is many years ago, but what I found out recently is they actually brought in an entirely new cast to fill in the scenes that we didn't shoot. And they put together this like weird, you know, jigsaw puzzle of a movie. And just last week, me and my friends watched it for the first time. And the worst part about it, I mean, it's terrible, but

the worst part is that I was the lead of this Movie. We didn't finish the movie. We didn't give them enough footage. And somehow they still cut out half of my scenes. That's how bad I was in bad meetings. >> Dave, my friends are watching this movie almost embarrassed being like, "Dude, you're not even in this thing." >> Now I need to go and watch it. Now the whole daddy gang, >> please don't. >> No, please watch together before you Watch [ __ ] watch. All of a sudden it becomes the number one trending movie.

>> [ __ ] Please, >> Dave. >> I know. >> That is such a [ __ ] ego hit, too. You're like, "All right, let's tune in." You're like, "Where am I?" >> You're like, "Wait, wait. I did all this [ __ ] in [ __ ] Winnipeg for this." >> I know. I know. >> And did they ever like send you guys an email about it or no? You find out through the grapevine. >> I can't even tell you how I found out, but it took about 15 years for me to find out. >>

That is beyond humbling. That is It's nice to have those moments. >> Yeah. Yeah. You're like, "All right, brought me back down to Earth." Okay, let's talk about neighbors. You shot with Seth Rogan. I have to know, have You smoked weed with Seth? >> God, I must have, but like no epic smoking session comes to mind. That said, I might have been too scared because like I did smoke a lot of weed in college, but since then I it just hits me too hard. And I feel like I'm I would have been maybe a little

too scared to smoke with Seth knowing how strong his stuff probably is. Uh, >> that's how I felt when I interviewed Whiz Khalifa. >> Okay, >> Dave, I was like, "Okay, I can't be a [ __ ] bitch." Like, I got to >> Did you smoke with him during the interview? >> I did. >> How'd it go? >> Well, so I I I think he thought it was fine. And I think I was fine, but I'm a control freak. Yeah. And so I had never like really really smoked in an interview before, except I did

with Chelsea Handler, but like Chelsea was mainly taking it and I was just like I took a baby hit. Yeah, >> but I was like impressing and then I was trying to match his energy. We were making eye contact. I'm like, "Yeah, >> yeah." >> I looked down in my cards and then I forgot like did I speak? What was I saying? What was I doing? I couldn't remember if I was like engaging with Him. I look back and thought it was funny. >> I was going to say, do you do you rewatch some episodes?

Sometimes >> I edit my episodes. >> Oh, there we go. Oh, that's right, >> [ __ ] And so then I was like editing a little tighter. Like sometimes my pauses were like whiz and then I was like let's cut that gap where I just stared at him blankly for 10 [ __ ] seconds. >> Did it create this kind of different Energy than most of your episodes though? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> But then we started talking about the randomest [ __ ] Like I was asking about camping. Like we were on a different

trajectory. It was fun. >> Give a little different flavor. >> But I was going to say >> I want to know who your dream blunt rotation would be. Even though like I'm Assuming you don't smoke much because I feel the same way. If I was in a room with Seth Rogan, I >> would be [ __ ] terrified that I was going to be a little [ __ ] ass [ __ ] and I couldn't keep up. >> So talk to me. If you had to feel >> Well, I mean good. >> The you know

the guys on on Mount Rushmore are are Seth Snoop. >> Yep. >> Two of I I've also worked with Snoop. Just a quick side story about that. Uh, we did this movie with Jamie Fox called Dayshift. And we went on this like crazy press tour, as you can imagine, very fun. But I ended up getting COVID and I missed the LA premiere. And so I was in bed. I was like really bummed that I couldn't be there. And I get this this FaceTime call from a number I don't know. And I'm feeling like [ __

] And I was like, I don't want to talk to anyone, but definitely not someone I Don't know. So I I I ignore it. I immediately get a text from a number that same number saying, "It's Snoop. Pick up." I was like, "Jesus Christ, I'm about to [ __ ] FaceTime with Snoop when I'm feeling like dog shit." So, I do. And he was just the sweetest. He's like, "Hey, man. You know, I I heard you're not feeling well. We got you. You're you know, you're here in spirit." And all of a sudden, I just

realized I'm like, "Oh, Snoop is the cure for CO. I Feel immediately better. Let's go." >> You're like, "Snoop, I'm on my way to the premiere." >> Oh my god. That's so funny though. You have to like turn it on immediately, but then you're like, I actually feel completely fine now that I'm talking to you. Then you hang up and then you're like, "Okay, I feel like >> sweetheart." >> Okay, so who would you want to smoke with? >> I'll tell you mine >> to like warm us up, >> please. Please. >> I've been thinking

about this a lot lately cuz I was thinking about that Seth Rogan thing. And I was like obviously like anyone's dream is to smoke with Seth. But I was like I >> my personality when I smoke is like I want to be alone. >> I I agree with that. >> And I don't even want to smoke. I want To take a little edible. >> Yep. Me too. >> And then I want to lay in bed next to my husband and I want to watch a show. And then I want to fade off into the distance.

>> We're on the same page. So, I need to feel really comfortable >> and I want to feel cozy and I want to feel like I don't really have to do much. >> So, here's my dream blunt rotation. Number one, Jane Goodall. >> Oh, wow. >> Okay. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> We're starting strong. >> Mhm. >> Cozy, comfortable. She's going to >> just her general demeanor and that like calm energy. >> She's going to keep us right where we need to be. No one's having a panic attack. >> That makes a lot of

sense to me, actually. >> She's going to be there through thick and thin. If we're having a panic attack, she'll be the one to be like, "Darling, you're going to be fine. >> Look how she is with the apes. How do you think she's going to be with you?" >> Then we need someone that is going to be calming, wise, insightful, that's going to like kind of start a conversation cuz we're not all in bed together. We're Sitting around. >> David Letterman. >> Oh, interesting. >> I've been thinking about this too a lot lately. Why?

I don't know. Um, I feel like he would be chill as [ __ ] >> but he would really bring the wisdom that we all are just I could be lock jaw just quiet and listen to him. I hear what you're saying spew wisdom. >> Is he known to be a smoker? >> I have no idea. >> Continue. >> Not a clue. >> Number three. >> Ah, you've thought about this. >> Who is generating the vibes though? >> Okay. >> It can't be so serious and so downer. Who's bringing the music? Who? Rihanna. >> Okay.

>> That little round table right there. I picture them in my living room. David's sitting in like the club chair. Jane and Rihanna are on the couch. I'm on the other couch, feet up, fuzzy socks on, candles lit vibes. >> Let me ask this though. They're all coming in with very different energies. >> Absolutely. >> Which energy? One has to kind of overtake the other. >> I think David's leading the conversation. >> Okay, I like that. I like that >> cuz I'm just picturing on mute. Not there. >> Jane's bringing the calmness. Rihanna's bringing the

vibes. David's just kind of like ushering us through this. He's just like he's doing most of the talking. We're just sitting back. We're just taking in the stories. >> Yes. He's kind of like our shaman. Like he's leading us down wherever he wants us to go. >> This all makes a lot of sense to me. >> He's talking about life. He's talking About life. Okay. Hit me. Talk to me through. Just name it. Come about. >> God. Um, I feel like the the real answer and the shortest version of this answer be because I think

I'll just stumble for a while if I don't just cut this short. Okay. >> Uh, and the cheesiest answer >> is Allison is awesome to smoke with. And the reason is um she it doesn't affect her like you wouldn't know if you were around her and She was stone. You wouldn't know. But what it does to her, she never loves me more than when she's stoned. It's it's and like we have, you know, we're very um you know, cohesive and it's just it generally works overall, but when she's stoned, whatever I do is the sweetest

thing. Whatever I say is the funniest thing, but it's all it's in a subtle way. It's subtle, but like it's awesome being around her. >> That is You're right. That is an Incredible answer. Like she's just looking at you like, "Babe, you are." And you're like, "I did nothing." >> To the point where I'm like, "You need to relax. That was not funny what I just said, but I I appreciate you." But yeah, >> that's amazing. Like post fight, you're like, "Should we smoke a little weed?" He's like, "Dave, shut the [ __ ] up."

Okay, that's a great answer. Okay. Um, Zack Efron said he ended up breaking his hand filming a scene with you where he Grabs your penis. >> That's true. Can you please explain how this resulted in injury, Dave? >> It's It's a really good question. I'm trying to remember. It definitely wasn't >> because my penis was hard. Uh >> but it's good to clarify. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to remember if I was wearing a cup and he came in just really strong. I think it was a dislocated thumb to be fair, but it it

Happened. There's a scene where I think we're both grabbing each other's crotches at the same time and I just think it came in with enough force from the wrong angle and it's a nice little uh anecdote now. >> It's a beautiful anecdote. I agree. I think most people would be like, "Oh, wow." Like Dave's just randomly hard on set. I think this was a good moment to clarify. >> Yes. Yes. cuz the character actually now That I think about it um not to walk through the whole synopsis of neighbors in this interview but um he

grabs my crotch and we're both holding on like who's going to let go first and then my character actually to get him to let go I have a trick where I go zen and I know how to get hard on Q. So I do get hard in his hand and that's what makes him let go. >> And can you do that in your real life? >> No. >> No. Perfect. Okay, we're moving on. Um you have had some pretty iconic co-stars over the years. >> Yes. [ __ ] Mary Kill. >> Oh, wow. Okay. >>

Zack Efron. >> Uhhuh. >> Jonah Hill. >> Okay. >> Channing Tatum. >> [ __ ] >> Oh, I don't like this game. Um, okay. Let me just say first and foremost, I love them all. I genuinely love them all. You guys, I love you. I don't want to kill any of you. >> I I will even help you with that, you guys. It's a [ __ ] game. He has to kill someone. It's not that deep. We're not saying you love all these people. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, let's say I'm going to marry Channing. >>

Oh. >> Uh, I'm going to [ __ ] >> You know what? I'm going to [ __ ] Jonah. >> I am obsessed. >> I do not want to kill you, Zach. I really, really don't. I just feel like we've experienced the sexuality together already. I want to try something new. Like we've already explored that. >> I think I saved it. I saved it. >> Perfect. It's literally perfect. >> Okay. >> Call Her Daddy is brought to you by T-Mobile. Have you ever met someone and they're the total package, right? Well, that's what it's like

Before you and Allison started dating, can you tell me like were you

ever getting your heart broken? Were you the one breaking hearts? Like what were your early relationships like? >> Um, the early relationships, uh, like I was saying, it was it was a lot of sensitivity. It was a lot of God, I I really I I think I am kind of a a romantic at heart. I I remember I remember uh this other girl that I was dating in high school for a very short amount of time. Um, uh, Valentine's Day came up and I decided I decided I was going to come to school early and

leave a rose with each One of her teachers, which sounds very sweet, but in hindsight, um, we just weren't together long enough for me to be doing that. And so, I think she might have been a little embarrassed that every class she went to, she was like, "Okay, here's the rose again in front of everyone." And so, I remember seeing her after school and being like, "Hey." And she was like, "Thanks for the roses." Uh, >> wait. You did it at multiple classes. >> All of her classes. >> Dave, [ __ ] >> Dave, >>

it was coming from a good place, but it was too soon. Um, >> I know. I know. And I think in other relationships, I'm trying to think, like, >> were you ever cheated on? >> It was not 100% confirmed, but there was a moment where things were tough for a bit, and I Didn't want to acknowledge it because I was so in love with her. I really thought we were going to get married and I just had my blinders on and we were watching a movie movie at my place and she fell asleep and this

is the first and only time I've done this but I did check her phone and I did it because I I knew something something was up and I found texts with her and her ex and they were from recently and it was about like there was nothing like 100% like this Happened but it was like something about her going over there the previous night and all this stuff and so I woke her up and I was like uh my heart was be my heart's beating even thinking about it now. Uh, I woke her up and

I showed her I showed her her phone. I was like, "What is this?" And she kind of took a beat and she said something like that was from a long time ago. And this was this was this is how old I am. This is before there was like time codes for Text. >> You're getting gas. You're like, >> so I really let her talk me into it cuz I was so in love with her, too. And I just didn't want to believe it. Uh, so again, it wasn't confirmed, but I think it happened. And you

know what? End of the day, meant to happen. Uh, I was meant to be with Allison and yeah. >> Oh my god, that feeling when you see a text and your actual heart is in your butt and you're like, "Oh my god, please No." And it's actually like kind of horrible when they're asleep cuz you're just sitting there and they're laying next to you and you're like, >> "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I know. >> Who are you? You monster." But it ended up working out. Did you end it or did she end it eventually?

>> She did. >> I know. I know. I really tried to make it work. I know. I know. It's bad. It's bad. You learn from these things. >> Okay, let's get to now when you meet Allison. You guys did Molly together the first time that you hung out. >> This is maybe the anomaly in everything else we've said. This doesn't check out. Yeah. >> Okay. So, you Yeah, you're right. This is a little >> I'll tell you why. I think there's a reason why. >> A little out of character. >> Yeah. >> What's going on,

Dave? Do you usually take drugs from strangers? >> No. Um, okay. >> So, basically, um, I was working on a job in New Orleans. She was out there with some friends from Marty GR and one of her friends was one of was and is one of my good friends and they invited me out to dinner and I I show up at dinner. I was a little bit late. They were already [ __ ] up. I was like trying to Catch up and I'm sitting next to our mutual friend Jules. And Jules shows me that she's

been texting with Allison across the table. And basically what she said to Allison was, "Hey, you should make out with Davey tonight." And Allison's like, "Sure." And so Jules shows me this and she's like, "Do not tell her I showed you these texts." And I was like, "Cool, cool." So little do I know, the two of them are in the bathroom 10 minutes later and Jul's Like, "Okay, I showed him the text. He's in." >> So classic of girls. >> So she orchest orchestrated this whole thing and it was kind of amazing cuz we both

went into this night knowing the other one was in. And so at the next bar, Allison comes up to me and she has a beer and she says, "Okay, I put some Molly in this beer. I think we should share this." I guess I'm seeing a trend in my life of this guy in high school Being like, "I got this fifth of vodka. I think we should share this." And I'm like, "Yes, I'm going to do something I would never do before, but yes." So, I really think that might have been the first time I

took Molly. Anyway, um so yeah, we uh we without going into it, we had an insane weekend in New Orleans during Martyra and um >> No. And I think like the rest was history, right? >> Exactly. And like I think we're the only Couple, you know, it's been 13 and a half years, the only couple to survive from meeting at Marty Groth. >> Did you feel though like when you woke up the next morning and you had like a weekend together, like did you guys have to be like, "Hey." Or was it not awkward? >>

No, it was the opposite. But it was like we still make fun of her a little bit where um like the next morning after this insane Molly weird night We wake up and she kind of wakes me up with these like gentle little kisses on my shoulder like stop. >> Yeah, that's how we started the next morning and it was like okay this is this is the energy we're going into this with. >> I love that it's like let's take some Molly and then you wake up to just like loving Allison. That's actually nice to

not have the scaries the next morning because I feel like there's like a Little bit of a comedown situation. >> Sure. Sure. And I God, I might be getting this detail wrong, but I was staying in this person's apartment and I think Allison actually found like women's undergarments somewhere where she was like, "Oh, okay. He's doing this with other women. This isn't a thing." But that wasn't the case. This is just the person's place. But I think it allowed her to kind of be like, "You know what? This is just an easy thing. Let's just

like I'm going to give myself over knowing this can't go anywhere." And and maybe that was maybe that was part of the charm going into it all is like we both for whatever reason just gave ourselves over. We were not playing any games. We were just like we're having fun. I like you. Let's see what happens. >> And then literally what you said 13 years later. >> 13 and 1/2 years later. >> Wow. >> I know. >> Dave, we're going to finish with a game. >> Okay. >> And I've never played this with anyone. You're

the first that we're going to do it with. Okay. So, the game is called confess. >> Okay. >> Or text. Okay, >> here's how it works. >> Good. >> I am going to ask you a juicy question and you can either confess to the question. >> Okay. >> Or you're going to choose to send a text. >> If you decide to send a text, you're going to draw from two fishbowls. One, >> you're going to find out who you're texting. Two, you're going to find out what you're texting them. >> Are you ready? >> No.

>> It's going to be good. >> Do Do I get to throw this back at you? >> Nope. This is a one-sided game. >> Okay. And so it's either going to be someone harmless like your best friend maybe in that bowl or someone as insane as your ex. >> Okay. >> First question. >> What is the shortest amount of time you've ever lasted during sex? >> Jesus Christ. I mean, I'll answer this. >> Yeah. >> Short. Uh I mean, you know, we got to start somewhere. Let's say uh let's say a few pumps. >> I

love the honesty. Okay. What is your body count? >> Jesus Christ. I'll take a text. >> Okay. So, first take whatever out of one bowl. So, first you're going to find out. Pull that out. What does it say? >> It says your coworker. >> Okay. So, you're going to text your one of your co-workers. Now, take that out. >> Uh, I really need an alibi. Can you send me a text about how fun last night was? Happy to do this. >> Who is your coworker? >> Uh, oh, okay. I'm going to do Isa Fischer. Okay,

>> she might he might get back to me quick. Let's see. >> He's like shaking. >> Jesus. Really need >> Jay's literally like I feel like my PR team should walk in any moment now. >> Send me a text about how fun last night. The thing about Isla is she's going to be [ __ ] down, too. >> Really? >> She's got me. >> I love it. Okay, send that. >> Okay, >> good job. >> We'll wait to see if she responds. >> Okay. >> Should I put it on where we can hear a text?

Yes. Okay, great. Like, keep that [ __ ] open. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. What is the weirdest rumor you've ever heard about yourself? >> Oh, god. Uh, this girl that I was kind of seeing at one point, >> uh, reaching out and being like, "Hey, uh, what's this all about?" And it was This photoshop of me and Zach like I want to say like at a basketball game where we're like getting like really cozy together and then there was all these headlines that maybe we were dating >> and I think that had some

legs too clearly. >> Oh, what Isa two messages. >> Shut the [ __ ] up. Shut the [ __ ] up. What did she say? >> She said She goes, "Love seeing you last night, Dave. Thanks for making the effort. It was so nice to see you. Double downing >> that little girl. >> That's my girl. That's my girl. >> I'm obsessed. >> Oh, she is behind the scenes right now going, "I can't wait to hear about this." >> Yeah. She's like, "Call me. Call me. What's going on?" >> Holy [ __ ] >> Oh,

Who is the worst person you've ever had to work with in Hollywood? >> Jesus Christ. All right, we're pulling. Uh, okay. Your best friend. >> Okay. >> Excited about anything to send him. Uh, can you Venmo me for the strip club strip club last night? I feel like I can go even harder. Let's see. >> Uh, I

You're getting fucked." >> Hold on. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait. >> Oh, no. >> There were two texts. I didn't

see his first text. It's not even It's almost more of a dismissal of, "Can I borrow your tripod se for for a sex tape?" He Goes, "So his client, his client is Kieran Shipka, who um was just cast in a movie that I'm producing." I go, "Can I borrow your tripod sex tape?" He goes, "Kieran Shipka, let's [ __ ] go." Doesn't even care about the sex tape. >> Because he's like referring to who you just like booked for your next movie. You're lying. >> He's not even Let's [ __ ] go. He So his

only response is, "Haha, double tap it." Oh, That's like whatever. Anyways, so you just booked this movie. >> You just booked this person for a movie >> date. >> That's a good agent. But isn't it funny? I feel that way with my agent sometimes. I will say the most out of pocket [ __ ] to them and they are literally like, "Oh, Alex." Um, anyways, like because they almost have to just like ignore >> cuz they have to love you even if you're [ __ ] insane. Cuz they're like, >> "I'm beat red right now."

>> Cuz they're like, "Let's get that 10%." Woo! Dave, this is good. Okay, now we're waiting for your wife. >> Okay. Okay. >> Okay. Can we go back to what we said at the beginning of the interview about you guys working together? Yeah. Because >> I want to hear a little bit more about why you guys decided to start cuz there has to be a moment, right, where you guys were like, "Okay, should we do Something together?" And how you guys talked about that and like boundaries. >> Sure. I think I I feel like it

probably started because we we were apart from each other so often because of work and I'm sure it was just like hey this is a way for us to be together and that's valid. Um, but then we quickly realized like we really enjoy doing this and you know there's many reasons like first off I I genuinely think she's one of the most talented actresses out there and so She when I'm working with her she makes my job very easy just in a creative sense and then on top of that um you know when especially in

the the two circumstances where I directed her it was so amazing just to have her there with me at the end of the day where as a director you know you're going through so much and it's so easy to get in your head and it's easy to spin out and be like oh my god this is terrible like what are we doing and she was there just To calm me down and be like everything's going great and that was invaluable and like I don't want to direct anything that she's not in >> that's such an

interesting point and I think highlights how healthy your guys' relationship is though because >> it's one thing which we're going to get to that you guys act in something together but for you to be a director and her be acting at the end of the day the director has the call, right? And a Lot of times you're giving like pretty pointed notes or sometimes to actors like >> how do you think you guys navigated in not in a way of you being kind of like >> having the upper hand as the you know what I

mean? >> Yeah. The truth is it it never really felt like that one. It it's like we're so in sync in so many ways that like >> most of the time if I was coming to give her a note as I'm walking towards her, She goes, "I know. I got it. Go back." And then I would go back behind the monitors and she would do exactly what I was thinking. >> And >> also and when you're saying that cuz um I've been >> now yes working also with my husband and he is a movie producer

and now we do a lot together but like >> you know the person so well and you want to win as a team. I think that's Sometimes what people again like >> I've worked so hard to have a healthy relationship and so I can own I've been in unhealthy relationships and the difference is like >> if Matt or I are giving each other advice or like constructive criticism >> it's you're going to deliver it in a similar way that you do in your life of like it's it all of it pertains also to work like

we're being respectful you're not feeling like you're better than the Other person you're reading the room like all of that goes into it right >> and yeah just to even go further other like there were god there were some crazy days on on this new movie where you know we are literally attached to each other with prosthetics for the entire day. So we are going to the taking each other to the bathroom. I remember there was a moment where she's going to the bathroom. I'm standing over her literally attached to her and we Said out

loud we could not have done this with anyone else. And during that day when we're attached, I'm also I was also in the scenes. I was tied to a chair and she is straddling me for 12 hours. And so because there's so much comfortability there, there's so much love there. We could also be kind of surpass politeness with each other and knowing it's not mean where I could be like, "Babe, you're [ __ ] killing my legs." Where if it was anyone else, I'd Be like, "Hey, I'm so sorry. Would you mind maybe like lifting

your >> Okay. Wait. Yeah. I want to get a little bit more into the movie together. Yeah. >> Um, how did you both know that you wanted to take on this role? >> So, um, so I got sent this script and and the basic premise is, um, we play a codependent couple um, that gets infected with something that makes it so that when we're apart from each other, we start to feel sick. So, we need to be Near each other at all times. And it starts to slowly escalate to the point where our bodies start

to fuse together. And when I read this thing, I was like, I feel like if me and Allison do this together, our real relationship will actually lend itself really well to this relationship in the movie where when you're watching us, you will hopefully feel the weight of the relationship because the characters in the movie have been together for over a decade. And so This was one where I was like, this feels right for us to do. Yeah, >> that is so interesting. Did it make you question like not question anything in your relationship, but did

you guys ever go home and talk about like codependency and the theme in the movie? >> I mean, yes. Like, God, it was more just that of course we're on set all day and then we go home And we're together just 24 hours during this process. And this makes me honestly more think about something that I want to ask you is like are when how are you guys able to turn it off and not talk about work and are you guys good at that? >> I it's it's hard. We've gotten good at it and when

we are not being good at it, we'll catch ourselves cuz like I'm thinking like Matt and I don't spend every day together. Like when we're when We're in the office like we have two complete separate different offices. I'm running basically a different division than he's running. different certain days whe [ __ ] intentional >> us too >> to be like okay we have a couple more work calls and then we're leaving our phones in the kitchen we're pouring Ourselves a glass of whiskey we're going out to the hot tubing and we're talking about personal >>

that's amazing >> and but it takes one of us will bring something up in the hot tub like no and we're like oh my god I forgot you both good at keeping each other each other accountable >> completely. But it but it took almost like training yourself because if you do let yourself continue to do that it's Not we love work and I feel like I'm getting that from you guys that it's like it's not a negative we >> right you're obsessed with it so you're like it's fun >> I know that's what it is

>> but it's so good for your relationship to have these two different >> realms almost that you enter into. And so I can imagine when you guys were home it was probably like let's go shower and go to a date. Let's go on a date. >> For sure. For sure. like you've been attached to my leg for >> 48 hours. I need to let's like make it fun and sexy and interesting again and not be workwise. Can you like >> give fans any um heads up or like what do you want them to feel going

into this movie? >> Okay, so what what I love about this movie and what our writer director was able to do is I I genuinely think and have heard from people that it works Really well for hardcore horror fans. you know, it's got it's got the gore. It's got all that stuff you want. It pushes the limits. But what we've been really kind of surprised and amazed to hear is that some people have been calling it like a gateway horror film for people who don't tend to seek out this genre. And I think part of

that is because at the core of this thing, it's about this relationship. And the movie is kind of romantic and it's funny. And Our director was able to kind of blend all of those different tones in a really seamless way. And at the end of the day, yes, it is scary in moments, but it's just fun. It's one of these movies where like 25 minutes in, it ramps up to a certain place and then you're just flying till the end. Yeah, >> I'm really excited for everyone to see it. And I'm just like congratulations to

you and your wife cuz that's just so exciting that you guys got to make this Project together and I can tell you're so passionate about it, which is again what we said at the end beginning of this interview, why we do the what we do. >> Yeah. >> Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Whiteclaw.
