before uh like six
but yeah but we've made one we've made one what's your favorite one other than

now which is definitely your favorite because you're promoting it right now uh
sex drive sex
drive which one was that it's the one nobody knows about it yeah this is the
first one nobody knows
about it i mean it just it was one of those movies that just opened and nobody
knew about it but it
was it was a really really fun movie maybe we could change that yeah on itunes
or netflix yeah yeah it's
all james marston's in it this is the one is this the one that you like when
you made it you're like
and maybe i'll go back to work in fucking construction or whatever yeah yeah
yeah so i thought i thought
it was over after that did you finance it or anything no no we made it um we
made it with
summit pictures and it was it was it was amazing they they uh we were in town
trying to get a career
going you know trying to trying to make things happen we were making a tv pilot
at the time which
was a living hell and uh and we had gone out and pitched this uh idea to a
bunch of places and
nobody bought it so then in the middle of our uh editing our pilot summit
pictures called and said
um we really we keep thinking about that pitch would you guys be willing to
write it and i said
you know what tell them i was really busy i said tell them we'll write it if i
can direct it but
i figured that would make them go away and they said all right and so we went
in and we wrote it
we turned it in and they greenlit it it was this crazy it was just this crazy
process where we got
this movie greenlit and i think we wrote the draft in like a month and we
turned it in and they loved
it what's it about it's a it's a it's a teen road trip movie it's about this
these kids that uh it was
kind of in the early days of the you know facebook and all that stuff and it
might have even been i
don't know i can never track the it might have even been like sort of myspace
into facebook that era
you know um but it was about a kid who meets a girl online and goes to lose his
virginity on a
on a road trip it's funny shit it is funny yeah marston's in it james marston
he's really funny uh
clark duke and um yeah i had a good cast and uh there it is yeah wow good um
but it was a really great
experience it was really fun and then we we we tested it we did the test screenings
and it just
murdered like it just and the studio got really excited and i thought oh my god
like i'm gonna have
a huge career and the movie came out and it didn't do any it didn't do any
business at all it was like
okay i'm gonna go back to wisconsin and and uh not have a career at all so is
it true that instant
family you hired tom because bert kreischer wasn't available yes god damn it
don't tell me that man
that's what i'd heard well and he was asking he was asking for a lot of money a
lot more within well
you know where it is he gets lofty with it he's like whatever mark gets i want
double i want double
and then they were like we can't do it
so this movie is based in uh in no small part on your own life experiences it
is of uh adopting an
actual you you adopted like a full family three human children yeah wow that's
wild that's a that's a
bold maneuver sir yeah what were the ages uh six three and a year and a half
and wow yeah
what was the process um well it starts and this is how it starts in the movie
as well
my wife and i for years i didn't i wasn't making any money including when after
i made sex drive and
um i uh so i didn't really feel like i could afford to have kids so whenever we'd
talk about it i'd just
be like you know not there yet and uh and then finally um when i felt like i
was doing better i
was starting to get a career together i just started to feel like i was going
to be one of
those old dads you know like by the time the kid was a teenager i wasn't going
to be able to play with
them how old do you know i'm 49 now i was 41 at the time and uh so god is that
right oh man it's
depressing anyway uh so i i uh i made this dumb joke to my wife i said look why
don't we just adopt
a five-year-old it'll be like i got started five years ago and like i'm you
know right back in the
game and she was like you know that's actually a really interesting idea and i
was like no i'm
that was totally kidding didn't mean anything about that at all and and then
she went to a website
and she showed me the website and then when i saw the website i was like oh wow
you see these kids
you see their faces you start to learn a little bit more about it and we just
started having
conversations and it it went from there now now i got three kids in a movie and
they're all siblings
yes so they all came from one mom and what what is how did they get separated
from the family um i
don't have a lot of details about that you know they don't really tell you
right you know you you know
a little bit but not much i mean i know that there was that there were issues
with drugs and i and i think
there was some kind of a fire at some point but it's all pretty pretty sketchy
as far as what you
hear so you learn a lot about the kids themselves but not that much about the
situation
and what what made you want to turn this into a film like i would imagine that's
a very personal
experience yeah um it was actually my writing partner john morris because i had
been about three
years into it at that point and the beginning of it was a nightmare like like
epic bad decision
why did we ever do this really yeah it was it was really a nightmare for a
short time and then when
it came online and we became a family it really became the best thing that ever
happened to me
and you know when john and i get together every day we just talk about our
lives a little bit that's
how we get started so john had been hearing all these stories and one day he
just said i don't know why
we're not doing a movie about this because nobody really knows how this works
when you go into foster
care and adopt kids so we started talking about it and then there was the
conversation of whether
it could be a comedy or not because that's what we do we make comedies and john
again was like
most of the stuff you've told me is really funny so not all of it of course but
that's and then we
thought wow you know we could approach this as a comedy and we might be able to
get you know a more
general audience to get their their interest in it that way because it'll feel
less scary because
that's the problem is that most movies that are made on this topic just frighten
people and they
make people think that these kids are all are all damaged and right reachable
right thing you know
do you worry that it'd be like that movie 101 dalmatians that a bunch of people
start getting foster
kids now and just screw them up yeah we well we were talking about top gun
about how you know
remember when top gun came out and everybody joined the navy thinking they were
going to fly the
planes yeah well when uh the color of money came out pool halls boomed across
the country it made a
giant impact on pool halls from that one tom cruise movie and they just really
a lot of people just
got scammed out of their fucking pocket money basically i'm sure there was some
of that going on
i think the crazy thing about this too was that like on the set you realize
like when you when we're
doing this you go like oh yeah i always thought of people who do that like you
know they exist but
you're like those are nameless faceless angels like they're not real people you
know like if you're
like do any of your friends adopt i'd be like no i don't have friends like that
like those are other
people you know and then you start like on the set there was you know people
visiting or consulting
and there would be like oh you know they adopted or they run some foster care
thing and then you're
like oh like this is actually something that people really do well even like
dudes on the crew that
somebody would come up you know who's in the electrical department be like oh
hey bro i got
i adopted two kids by the way you feel like really wow you know or hey i got
adopted when i was four
years old you just would like once now you see it now everywhere yeah people
are hitting me up someone
hit me up yesterday like my sister is adopting four siblings this week wow yeah
it's nuts i mean like
it's like something i don't want to it's it's almost like when your friend gets
a car and then you start
seeing it everywhere and you're like yeah you're like no it's exactly like that
though yeah
um we talked about that video that uh went around online of this little girl
that realized that she's
opening up a box and there's something in it that tells her that she's been
adopted by these two
people that are with her and it's really yeah it's impossible to not cry yeah i
mean if you have
any heart at all and you watch that little girl freak out and it's it breaks
you up i think that's
almost the test as far as what you were talking about about how because believe
me i test if you're
a piece of shit or not when you watch that yeah yeah we should show that to a
lot of people
yeah what's your reaction oh you're a piece of shit yeah you're sociopath yeah
but no i mean there's
that what you were just getting at as far as believe me i'm not that guy that
like i didn't feel
special or like any one of those sort of heart of gold angels you know we have
the line that's in
the movie where mark just says that's for the kind of people that volunteer
when it's not even a
holiday and we don't do that yeah you should probably tell the audience that i'm
not
starring in this movie right now for people no that's people are like so tom
stars no it's just
mark walberg you're starting in the movie for like four and a half minutes
there you go and then
everyone everyone else mark walberg stars in the rest of it that's true that's
a good way of
breaking it down movies only probably like 90 minutes yeah that's pretty good
that's not bad
we'll have probably like seven scenes that's good scenes yeah they're good
scenes yeah no you've got
a solid presence you didn't make the poster didn't make the poster didn't make
the poster didn't make
the poster no you you know you made the standee though did you know that there's
a standee in movie theaters
and you're in that oh really yeah all right i'll take that i can steal one
heard that word standee
standee those are the big cardboard things yeah let's never know what those
things were called i
didn't know that either cardboard cutout thing that's what i always call it
cardboard cutout
standee is the real the real term is that the term in the industry oh yeah that's
an industry term
that's a real industry term you learned something today yeah wait so you
because you were telling me
this and i was like he was about to tell me before you came in i was like this
sounds like this could be
pretty good don't tell me save it for the podcast that because he's done this
is the most press sean's
done for a film that he's put out that did you go under they were like let's
give you some advice on
media yeah well first of all i'm terrible at it so there's that because i don't
do this is the thing
when you direct a movie especially movies like the kind of movies that i make
comedies and you know
big broad comedies people don't really care who directed those movies and i'm
good with that
like i'm totally good with that but what usually happens is the studio the
director usually wants to
be kind of a part of the campaign so the studio will find they'll sort of throw
bones at you of
like press that you can do and i alwa
