The Unfiltered Union Podcast.

(00:00:08):
You love getting sunburned.

(00:00:10):
It's Florida.

(00:00:11):
It's like a permanent state of being for you in the summertime.

(00:00:14):
I feel like I look like a raccoon.

(00:00:18):
Or Morticia.

(00:00:19):
Your nose is definitely puffy, too.

(00:00:21):
You got that meniscus.

(00:00:24):
I mean, I'm not saying it as a diss, but...

(00:00:29):
You got really bad sunburn on your nose.

(00:00:34):
And we've talked about it before, but how does it feel today?

(00:00:37):
Because you've been using Solar Recover.

(00:00:40):
This is not an ad by any means.

(00:00:43):
Just that we have found a product that works.

(00:00:46):
Yeah.

(00:00:47):
I sound like an ad.

(00:00:48):
Snake oil.

(00:00:49):
I thought it was snake oil, but me, you don't get as bad a sunburn as me.

(00:00:56):
I turn into Red Lobster.

(00:00:59):
Well, you get a sunburn even if you put sunscreen on.

(00:01:01):
Yes.

(00:01:02):
It doesn't make sense.

(00:01:04):
I just forget to put sunscreen on.

(00:01:06):
But the issue I have is I get really bad sunburn, but it's not just the sunburn that sucks.

(00:01:11):
It's the aftermath.

(00:01:12):
Right.

(00:01:13):
I get hell's itch, which if you don't know what that is, it's where when your body starts healing.

(00:01:19):
It just itches.

(00:01:20):
And it itches so bad that I can't sleep.

(00:01:23):
Yep.

(00:01:23):
Well, I was in desperation mode one day and I was trying to find something to help.

(00:01:30):
And I went on Reddit and they said, try solar recover.

(00:01:34):
And it works.

(00:01:34):
It's a spray.

(00:01:35):
They call it like liquid lotion.

(00:01:38):
I don't necessarily think I agree with it that much.

(00:01:42):
Well, I think it's because there's vitamin E in it or whatever.

(00:01:44):
Yeah, it's hydrating for your skin.

(00:01:47):
And it helps your skin actually pull moisture back in.

(00:01:50):
Right.

(00:01:51):
Which is what sunburn doesn't do.

(00:01:54):
Right.

(00:01:55):
But this is the result of no sunscreen.

(00:01:59):
And...

(00:02:01):
Still in recovery.

(00:02:02):
It hurts me.

(00:02:04):
At least I was able to sleep last night.

(00:02:06):
But we have had lots of guests on the podcast up until today's date.

(00:02:10):
I think we counted at one point, but I forget what it was.

(00:02:13):
It's in the double digits.

(00:02:15):
Yeah.

(00:02:18):
I think when we have guests on, it is some of our most engaging content, right?

(00:02:23):
Yep.

(00:02:23):
We get to talk about all kinds of crazy stuff.

(00:02:27):
We talk to a shark diver.

(00:02:29):
We talk to a coral biologist.

(00:02:31):
But we've also talked to people that we believe have an impact in our local lives

(00:02:36):
as well as more of a broad span.

(00:02:38):
Friends.

(00:02:39):
Yeah.

(00:02:40):
I mean, it's been a lot of people that we've talked to about a lot of different things.

(00:02:45):
Right.

(00:02:46):
This is going to be different.

(00:02:48):
Yeah, this is a little weird.

(00:02:50):
Not weird, but weird for us.

(00:02:52):
Right.

(00:02:53):
This is a little different.

(00:02:55):
I think out of all of our guests, he's probably our biggest name guest.

(00:02:59):
Yes, for sure.

(00:03:00):
And when I saw it come across... You couldn't believe it.

(00:03:04):
I kind of fangirled a little bit.

(00:03:05):
And I couldn't believe it either, to be honest with you, because I'm not going to say I fangirled, but...

(00:03:13):
He is a well-known actor, and I know him from Scream.

(00:03:19):
And if you've never seen Scream,

(00:03:20):
if you're like a Gen Z-er and this is like an old people movie,

(00:03:23):
Scream was a big part of our childhood era,

(00:03:28):
our younger years.

(00:03:30):
And you know how you go out on Halloween and you see Elsa costumes by the masses, right?

(00:03:38):
This was our Elsa costume.

(00:03:40):
Scream, yeah.

(00:03:40):
Was the Scream masks.

(00:03:43):
It was insane.

(00:03:44):
It was like a phenomenon.

(00:03:46):
Say his name.

(00:03:47):
And this guy played in Scream, and his name is David Arquette.

(00:03:52):
Woohoo!

(00:03:53):
I don't know.

(00:03:54):
Don't ask me how we booked him, but we did.

(00:03:58):
I'm really excited.

(00:03:59):
So I know him from Buffy, from WCW, Scream as well.

(00:04:05):
I mean, there's so many things that he was in back in the early 2000s.

(00:04:11):
And he was married to Courtney Cox at one point.

(00:04:13):
It's just like there's so much that I know him from.

(00:04:16):
He is nostalgia 2000s for me.

(00:04:20):
Yes, that's exactly how I feel.

(00:04:22):
I love it.

(00:04:23):
I'm so excited.

(00:04:24):
I'm going to try really hard not to fangirl.

(00:04:26):
Oh, yeah.

(00:04:26):
It's going to be hard.

(00:04:28):
We have him on today to talk about a new movie that he has.

(00:04:32):
Well,

(00:04:32):
before we jump to his movie,

(00:04:34):
what movies do you remember that have had the most hitch in the feels recently?

(00:04:40):
What movies do you... Get you in the feels.

(00:04:44):
We haven't really been on a movie kick lately, but television-wise, screen-wise, Stranger Things.

(00:04:50):
yeah because there's a lot of emotional moments in that and it's a lot about

(00:04:56):
fighting through your essentially fighting through your demons yes and that always

(00:05:04):
gets me in the feels because of my past experience with ocd so that is probably my

(00:05:11):
latest get you in the feels screen time yeah what about you i feel like i've been

(00:05:17):
in my feels a lot recently

(00:05:18):
Well, yes.

(00:05:19):
I feel like we had my cousin on at one point as one of our guests, right?

(00:05:24):
And we talked about what's called the Bonnie Jean,

(00:05:26):
my grandmother's Jean,

(00:05:28):
where she cries over everything,

(00:05:29):
drop of a hat.

(00:05:29):
I feel like it's starting to come in stronger.

(00:05:32):
But I agree.

(00:05:33):
When I rewatched, you watched Stranger Things.

(00:05:37):
I bawled.

(00:05:39):
What I found interesting about us watching Stranger Things was I could tell when

(00:05:43):
something sad was going to happen because you started crying before.

(00:05:49):
Well, there's that.

(00:05:50):
Oh, look at your cute sock monkey cup.

(00:05:52):
That's so cute.

(00:05:54):
But I think there's a lot of movies now that are so... What do I want to say?

(00:06:01):
There's not a lot of movies to me that are focused on family dynamics.

(00:06:04):
Right.

(00:06:05):
That are focused on what it means to come together, what it means to build those bonds.

(00:06:12):
Just overall, like...

(00:06:15):
Good emotions, right?

(00:06:16):
Right.

(00:06:17):
And just life.

(00:06:20):
Right.

(00:06:20):
Real life.

(00:06:20):
Stranger things, it's not real life.

(00:06:24):
Things like that.

(00:06:25):
It's always kind of this outlandish stuff in film right now.

(00:06:30):
It's the hide our cat.

(00:06:32):
And I just feel like this movie is almost bringing it back down to earth.

(00:06:38):
Right.

(00:06:39):
It's an emotion and a...

(00:06:46):
Hit his butt to the camera.

(00:06:50):
Don't take pictures of this, okay?

(00:06:51):
All right, buddy, you got to go.

(00:06:52):
We got love bombed by the cat.

(00:06:56):
had to kick him out but your point about the feel goods type of movies being

(00:07:01):
outlandish I agree it seems like the more the more crazy the more fantasy the more

(00:07:08):
whatever they can sprinkle in to make it that oh my gosh moment oh yeah it's like

(00:07:13):
all about that almost like sensationalized news but we won't go there today so

(00:07:18):
overall I think that is where our our popularity is in movies right now

(00:07:24):
Yeah, I mean, people want to be shocked.

(00:07:27):
I don't agree.

(00:07:29):
Like Blended, the movie Blended with Adam Sandler.

(00:07:32):
I liked it.

(00:07:33):
Right.

(00:07:33):
It's a good feeling movie, right?

(00:07:35):
Right.

(00:07:36):
It's about family.

(00:07:37):
And there's some turmoil there with splitting up and family members dying.

(00:07:44):
So grief.

(00:07:46):
I just think overall those type of movies should really be highlighted right now in

(00:07:52):
where we are as a society.

(00:07:54):
And we don't even,

(00:07:55):
you don't have to stop making the other ones,

(00:07:57):
but there should be more real life movies for sure.

(00:08:00):
Agreed.

(00:08:00):
Well, I think that's what the movie, the good half is.

(00:08:03):
Yes.

(00:08:04):
And I'm excited to see it.

(00:08:05):
Like, this is one that I have been watching all the trailers for.

(00:08:09):
And it is a huge cast.

(00:08:11):
It is.

(00:08:12):
It is a star-studded cast.

(00:08:14):
It's blended family.

(00:08:16):
It's all about grief, regret, and healing.

(00:08:18):
And then you have Nick Jonas, right?

(00:08:21):
Yes, of course you want to watch it.

(00:08:23):
Yeah.

(00:08:24):
I mean, he's a good actor.

(00:08:26):
Oh, yeah.

(00:08:26):
No, I like him a lot.

(00:08:28):
After seeing him in Kingdom?

(00:08:29):
Yes.

(00:08:30):
Oh, my gosh.

(00:08:31):
He is amazing.

(00:08:33):
That's where I kind of gained a lot of respect for him.

(00:08:36):
Right.

(00:08:36):
In the kingdom.

(00:08:37):
He is a good actor.

(00:08:39):
But then you also have Brittany Snow.

(00:08:41):
She's from Pitch Perfect.

(00:08:42):
Right.

(00:08:43):
I have a girl crush on her.

(00:08:45):
I mean, that's valid.

(00:08:48):
I liked her in Pitch Perfect.

(00:08:49):
I think she's a beautiful woman.

(00:08:52):
So I'm really excited to see her in this role.

(00:08:54):
Then you also have Elizabeth Shue.

(00:08:56):
Yes.

(00:08:57):
Karate Kid fame.

(00:08:58):
Uh-huh.

(00:08:59):
Cobra Kai.

(00:09:00):
Ali.

(00:09:00):
Never dies.

(00:09:01):
Right.

(00:09:02):
And then you also have David Arquette.

(00:09:04):
And David Arquette, I think when we get to interview him today, that this is going to be fun.

(00:09:10):
Oh, yeah.

(00:09:11):
To talk about his role in this,

(00:09:14):
to talk about,

(00:09:15):
you know,

(00:09:15):
what he sees as takeaways and overall arching themes.

(00:09:19):
I mean, I'm really excited to dive in with him.

(00:09:21):
I like, I am too, because this is, like I said, or like we just talked about, this is a real life movie.

(00:09:28):
This is kind of like a life lesson type deal.

(00:09:30):
Everybody grieves.

(00:09:32):
Yep.

(00:09:32):
And everybody grieves differently.

(00:09:35):
Well, and families now are so blended, right?

(00:09:38):
You can have step parents,

(00:09:39):
but you can also have,

(00:09:40):
you know,

(00:09:42):
adopted siblings or have different relationships with different family members.

(00:09:46):
To me, it is a true picture of the American family now, right?

(00:09:52):
So I don't know.

(00:09:53):
I feel like the message that it's going to give,

(00:09:56):
I'm probably going to cry through the whole damn thing,

(00:09:58):
but I'm excited to watch it.

(00:10:01):
Me too.

(00:10:03):
That's not my standard movie, but I do think that it is a life lesson worth watching for sure.

(00:10:13):
I'm excited.

(00:10:14):
Kind of explaining that everybody grieves in different ways.

(00:10:17):
And without further ado, we introduce... Let's do it.

(00:10:22):
David Arquette.

(00:10:23):
Hey there.

(00:10:24):
Is this David?

(00:10:25):
Yes, sir.

(00:10:26):
Hello.

(00:10:27):
Hey, how are you?

(00:10:28):
I'm good.

(00:10:30):
How are you doing?

(00:10:31):
We're doing really good.

(00:10:32):
I mean, this is crazy.

(00:10:34):
My wife over here is losing her shit a little bit.

(00:10:36):
Trying not to fangirl too hard.

(00:10:38):
Okay.

(00:10:40):
Hi, Lynn.

(00:10:42):
Oh, thank you.

(00:10:43):
That's sweet to hear.

(00:10:46):
We have some questions for you today,

(00:10:47):
David,

(00:10:48):
and we can't thank you enough for coming on and being part of the unfiltered union.

(00:10:52):
Yes.

(00:10:53):
I'm going to take a few deep breaths.

(00:10:57):
We can all take a deep breath.

(00:10:59):
That's right.

(00:10:59):
That's right.

(00:11:00):
This is just a casual conversation here.

(00:11:02):
Yep.

(00:11:02):
It is.

(00:11:03):
Okay.

(00:11:03):
I'm going to hold it together.

(00:11:06):
Well,

(00:11:06):
I think we've been talking about your new movie coming out,

(00:11:09):
The Good Half,

(00:11:10):
and we've been all about the topics.

(00:11:13):
And the topics that we think are coming through for this movie are really heavy, but so important.

(00:11:20):
So I wanted to ask you, what do you think are the strongest themes throughout the film?

(00:11:24):
Oh, man.

(00:11:26):
I mean, there's a lot of heavy topics they deal with, but they deal with it with a real sense of humor.

(00:11:35):
My character says something at some point where he says, we all grieve in our own ways.

(00:11:40):
And that was sort of a pretty meaningful line.

(00:11:43):
You know, Nate Childers' character gets really upset at my character.

(00:11:48):
I play a character named Rick, who's his stepdad.

(00:11:52):
And I sort of tell this joke in the background at the memorial service.

(00:11:58):
after, not party, the gathering, and he gets really upset.

(00:12:03):
And I sort of confront him with his behavior during the whole time.

(00:12:10):
And it becomes this really heated argument.

(00:12:13):
But what the audience doesn't know is the reason I get so upset is because there

(00:12:19):
was a limousine,

(00:12:20):
and the limousine went from the funeral to this gathering.

(00:12:24):
And in the script, I was supposed to be in the limousine.

(00:12:27):
And the director called me up and he said,

(00:12:29):
listen,

(00:12:29):
I'm just going to have the family in the limousine so you can come in an hour later

(00:12:34):
to work.

(00:12:34):
I was like, fine.

(00:12:36):
That's cool.

(00:12:39):
But what he didn't know, I was cool with it myself.

(00:12:42):
But as the character, I was really upset because the character had paid for the limousine.

(00:12:47):
He picked it out and now he's not allowed to ride in it.

(00:12:51):
So when I get upset with Nick Jonas,

(00:12:53):
it's more from a personal,

(00:12:58):
shallow reason rather than me actually being upset with his feelings.

(00:13:06):
I mean, I can't imagine you guys as a cast.

(00:13:09):
The whole cast that's involved just seems so star-studded.

(00:13:13):
The idea that you guys kept a straight face through this whole movie and based on

(00:13:16):
the seriousness of the topics,

(00:13:18):
I don't believe it.

(00:13:21):
How many takes did you have to do for a lot of these seats?

(00:13:25):
Yeah, we did have to take a few.

(00:13:28):
I mean, it's funny.

(00:13:29):
Like, my character is sort of the outcast in the whole group.

(00:13:33):
I mean, they have this sort of really tight-knit bond.

(00:13:37):
And I'm always the one that they're kind of talking behind his back and all this stuff.

(00:13:42):
So, I don't know.

(00:13:43):
I kind of felt like an outcast a little bit when I was even there.

(00:13:47):
Sometimes I took pleasure in that.

(00:13:51):
He also had a lot of confidence,

(00:13:52):
a lot more confidence than I had,

(00:13:54):
so he didn't take any of it personally.

(00:13:57):
It's a really interesting way to sort of play a character because in my head,

(00:14:03):
in my responses to certain situations,

(00:14:06):
I would initially think,

(00:14:08):
oh,

(00:14:09):
how I would think.

(00:14:11):
But then I would think my character would never think like that.

(00:14:14):
So I can completely turn on a dime and

(00:14:17):
and not take it personally or be offended or annoyed.

(00:14:21):
I found being annoyed with people a lot was his sort of go-to because he thought

(00:14:29):
himself as better than everyone else.

(00:14:32):
Well,

(00:14:32):
I mean,

(00:14:32):
here at Unfiltered Union,

(00:14:33):
we like to think that you have complete freedom to have your own opinions and you

(00:14:39):
shouldn't take things personal.

(00:14:40):
So I feel like your character, Rick, would be very welcomed here.

(00:14:47):
Rick would take control of Unfiltered Union.

(00:14:52):
Bring it on.

(00:14:53):
show and kind of talk you know talk over everyone steer it toward what he liked

(00:15:02):
that's awesome so so i've got a question uh what was it like working with nick

(00:15:08):
jonas uh my wife is a pretty big fan and i am too from from the kingdom and we both

(00:15:14):
are big fans of that show as well so what was it like working with him yeah i was

(00:15:20):
so impressed the way he balanced

(00:15:23):
The humor and the drama in this role.

(00:15:27):
He had this really sort of cutting, dry sense of humor.

(00:15:30):
He and Brittany Snow play brother and sister.

(00:15:35):
And their banter back and forth is really kind of like understated and really quick-witted.

(00:15:41):
And it was funny to just watch them.

(00:15:43):
I got to see them before I see them do like sort of initial scenes.

(00:15:49):
before I had to work with them.

(00:15:54):
So I could see how they were relating to each other and how they kind of had their

(00:15:58):
tempo down and how they kind of threw things away.

(00:16:02):
So it was funny.

(00:16:02):
And I could come in with my kind of take on it and be a little more like

(00:16:07):
matter-of-factly or,

(00:16:09):
you know,

(00:16:11):
just kind of throw it out there rather than kind of throw it kind of under their

(00:16:17):
breath like they were.

(00:16:19):
I'm so excited.

(00:16:20):
I can't wait to see this movie.

(00:16:21):
I think it's going to have a great message, a great overall theme to it.

(00:16:26):
So many heavy topics that we've talked about,

(00:16:29):
but what do you hope that viewers of the movie take away from the movie,

(00:16:34):
The Good Half?

(00:16:35):
You know, I hope people find some healing from it.

(00:16:38):
I mean,

(00:16:38):
it's a really kind of traumatic experience to go through,

(00:16:41):
to lose someone you care so deeply about.

(00:16:44):
So if you can kind of like,

(00:16:47):
The movie does a really great job of looking back on the good times that he had with his mother.

(00:16:54):
That's what the good half represents, the time he shared with them.

(00:16:59):
And then what brought me a lot of healing and closure is that I find that gratitude.

(00:17:11):
When you can sit back and have gratitude to the people that were in your life,

(00:17:16):
And the time that you have spent with them, you can remember those good times.

(00:17:21):
It really helps the healing process.

(00:17:24):
Yeah.

(00:17:25):
Oh yeah.

(00:17:26):
I love this because we talked about this right before we,

(00:17:30):
we jumped on the phone with you and a lot of the films out now are just,

(00:17:35):
they're,

(00:17:35):
they're,

(00:17:36):
they're fantasy,

(00:17:37):
you know,

(00:17:38):
but this is like a real life movie.

(00:17:40):
You know,

(00:17:41):
I just feel as if everybody needs to watch things like this every once in a while

(00:17:47):
because it's just good for the soul.

(00:17:49):
For sure.

(00:17:50):
For sure.

(00:17:51):
Yeah.

(00:17:52):
It's grounded.

(00:17:53):
It's real.

(00:17:54):
Exactly.

(00:17:55):
There's some hilarious moments.

(00:17:59):
How awkward it is sometimes going through these time periods.

(00:18:03):
Somebody coming up to you and saying, how are you doing?

(00:18:06):
When it's like the worst day of your life.

(00:18:09):
If you could learn that sort of

(00:18:13):
laugh about some of those things, I think that's also really helpful.

(00:18:17):
Oh, yeah.

(00:18:18):
Humor.

(00:18:18):
Humor is good medicine.

(00:18:20):
Absolutely.

(00:18:20):
It is healing and good for the soul.

(00:18:23):
Agreed.

(00:18:24):
Well,

(00:18:25):
I think overall,

(00:18:26):
when we talk about your role as Rick,

(00:18:28):
he does seem to depict almost like a stepdad,

(00:18:32):
right?

(00:18:32):
He's the blended family on the mom's side.

(00:18:37):
But I feel like

(00:18:39):
a modern blended family is every day now, right?

(00:18:43):
That, that is an average thing.

(00:18:44):
I mean, how do you feel the role depicts the struggles of the blended family?

(00:18:47):
Yeah.

(00:18:48):
I mean,

(00:18:49):
you kind of have to sometimes,

(00:18:51):
you know,

(00:18:51):
deal with,

(00:18:53):
I mean,

(00:18:53):
just even in any family,

(00:18:55):
everyone has their own dynamic and everyone has their own personality.

(00:18:59):
Everyone has their own needs and wants, you know, their pushy side in there, you know, they're,

(00:19:07):
everyone just has their own personality.

(00:19:09):
So you have to kind of understand that even within a blended family.

(00:19:13):
Sometimes it's harder because there's like new people in your life and you have to

(00:19:17):
kind of accept that and hopefully everyone can get along,

(00:19:19):
especially with,

(00:19:21):
you know,

(00:19:21):
the state of the world right now where everybody's kind of quarreling about their

(00:19:25):
own sort of separate things.

(00:19:27):
Amen.

(00:19:28):
It's important to just accept people for who they are and how they are and

(00:19:36):
also stand up for what you believe.

(00:19:40):
Yeah, and you don't have to get mad when somebody has differing opinions than you.

(00:19:46):
Man, that's the tagline for the Unfiltered Union.

(00:19:48):
Listen at you, David.

(00:19:50):
Have you been on the show before?

(00:19:57):
Well, we've got you for just a couple more minutes and I'm going to switch gears on you for a second.

(00:20:04):
My dad would be really upset with me if I didn't ask you a question about your WCW championship.

(00:20:11):
Okay.

(00:20:14):
How was that experience?

(00:20:15):
I mean, you won a WCW championship.

(00:20:19):
I mean, with your background, you're a phenomenal actor.

(00:20:23):
Again, I fangirled a little bit at the beginning here.

(00:20:25):
But how did it feel being a part of that organization and winning that championship?

(00:20:29):
Wow, it was incredible.

(00:20:31):
I mean, just to be within the wrestling world, it's really interesting.

(00:20:35):
Like, you know, I did a documentary called You Cannot Kill David Arquette where I went back and I

(00:20:41):
independent wrestled for a couple of years and really got to know the business and, uh, meet the fans.

(00:20:48):
And the fans are so incredible when you go like city to city and you meet them in

(00:20:53):
person and you see how much wrestling means to them and how much they enjoy the

(00:20:58):
sport and,

(00:20:59):
and just the storyline and meeting all these legends.

(00:21:03):
Like that's what was my favorite part,

(00:21:05):
like meeting all these incredible people that I looked up to as a kid and,

(00:21:11):
and getting to tour with them.

(00:21:14):
But it was incredible.

(00:21:16):
I understand how upset the fans got when I won.

(00:21:20):
I hope me coming back sort of helped a little and showing some respect to the business because

(00:21:28):
That's what it ultimately is.

(00:21:29):
There's so many generational families involved.

(00:21:32):
There's so many people that put their lives on the line and just,

(00:21:37):
you know,

(00:21:37):
commit all their time from driving city to city to either be vendors or be the

(00:21:43):
wrestlers or be the people putting on the show.

(00:21:45):
So, you know, I have nothing but love and respect for wrestling.

(00:21:50):
I love watching it now.

(00:21:52):
I love seeing my friends that I wrestled with, you know,

(00:21:56):
taking it to the next level like Jack Perry with his new scapegoat character on AEW

(00:22:03):
it's an amazing sport it's an amazing world to be a part of

(00:22:08):
That's awesome.

(00:22:09):
He's going to love that answer.

(00:22:12):
He will.

(00:22:14):
And I've got a question for you.

(00:22:16):
So we kind of asked our friends, what would they ask you if they were on this interview?

(00:22:21):
And my favorite one that we pulled out was what were your favorite behind the

(00:22:26):
scenes moments during filming of Scream?

(00:22:31):
My favorite behind the scenes moments were there was one dinner party we had right at the

(00:22:37):
sort of middle to end of screen one, where we all like went to this winery.

(00:22:43):
It was just such a fun night.

(00:22:45):
And Wes was just on fire and telling stories and just his charming self.

(00:22:51):
I mean, my favorite parts really were working with Wes Griggs.

(00:22:56):
I think there was like a kinship between my character,

(00:22:59):
Dewey,

(00:23:00):
and his sense of humor and sort of his heart.

(00:23:04):
But he'd find these little moments where he'd throw out little,

(00:23:08):
you know,

(00:23:08):
jokes or little reactions that,

(00:23:12):
I don't know,

(00:23:13):
always kind of stuck with me.

(00:23:16):
There's one moment where I jump off and my character and Gail's character roll and

(00:23:22):
she says,

(00:23:22):
is that what you're looking for?

(00:23:24):
And then I look at her and say, my whole life.

(00:23:26):
That was a Wes Craven, like he wanted me to really take that moment.

(00:23:30):
look at her like I've been searching for this woman my whole life.

(00:23:35):
And it was just so adorable the way he sort of gave me direction on that.

(00:23:40):
It was just something I always remember.

(00:23:44):
That's awesome.

(00:23:44):
I love it.

(00:23:46):
You answered all of our questions for the good half and even some bonus questions.

(00:23:50):
So we can't thank you enough for your time today, David.

(00:23:53):
I appreciate you coming on and letting me fangirl for a moment.

(00:23:56):
Yeah, me too.

(00:23:58):
You fangirled?

(00:23:59):
Yeah, Scream was a huge thing in my childhood.

(00:24:05):
Well, we hope to one day have you back on the Unfiltered Union.

(00:24:08):
Thank you so much for your time.

(00:24:11):
Wow.

(00:24:11):
Yeah.

(00:24:13):
Did I fangirl too hard?

(00:24:14):
Did I fangirl too hard?

(00:24:15):
Well, I looked over at you, and your eyes were watering.

(00:24:19):
I panicked.

(00:24:20):
You did?

(00:24:21):
Not panicked, but like...

(00:24:23):
Yeah, I know.

(00:24:23):
I know.

(00:24:24):
Like overload.

(00:24:26):
I don't know.

(00:24:26):
I like the dude a lot.

(00:24:28):
I mean, he's like I said, it's an iconic role in an iconic group of movies, which is scream.

(00:24:35):
Well, and he himself, like he was in so much back, back, you know, in the two thousands.

(00:24:41):
I mean, he's still in a lot right now, but like, that's how we know him as millennials.

(00:24:45):
Right.

(00:24:46):
So for me, he sounds so cool.

(00:24:50):
Like down to earth.

(00:24:51):
I mean,

(00:24:53):
I think I could hang out with him.

(00:24:56):
I do too.

(00:24:56):
I think we should try.

(00:24:59):
Be like, can you pass him our phone number?

(00:25:02):
Yeah, yeah, pass him our... When he's in Florida next, just let us know.

(00:25:07):
Yeah, if you ever come to Tampa, just let us know.

(00:25:10):
We're here.

(00:25:11):
Please, we'll do an in-person interview.

(00:25:13):
Just inbox us.

(00:25:14):
DM.

(00:25:14):
Send it to the DMs, David.

(00:25:16):
Yeah, but that was enjoyable.

(00:25:19):
I like the premise of the movie, how it's real-life lessons while rapping in humor, because...

(00:25:26):
you know humor is a good medicine and it's free yep i can't wait to see the movie

(00:25:32):
like we talked about the cast and he even talked about the cast and like to know

(00:25:37):
their dynamics like that we almost got like insider scoop on it right i know it so

(00:25:42):
you all are gonna get the insider scoop too

(00:25:45):
Absolutely.

(00:25:45):
I'm really excited for this movie.

(00:25:47):
I'm probably going to cry my eyes out.

(00:25:49):
I wanted to talk to you about one of the commercials that David was actually in

(00:25:52):
back in those early 2000 era when he was married to Courtney Cox.

(00:25:58):
They did a Coke commercial.

(00:25:59):
Right.

(00:26:00):
And in the Coke commercial, do you remember this?

(00:26:01):
No.

(00:26:02):
Okay.

(00:26:03):
In the Coke commercial,

(00:26:05):
Courtney is getting herself a Coke and it looks like they're just in their house,

(00:26:08):
right?

(00:26:08):
It's in every day.

(00:26:09):
And David yells into the house, hey, can you get me a drink too?

(00:26:12):
Or can you get me a Coke too?

(00:26:14):
So Courtney only has one left.

(00:26:16):
Oh.

(00:26:18):
So what she does is she fills one cup up with ice and then pours in the Coke and

(00:26:24):
then keeps the rest of the can for herself and gives that to David.

(00:26:27):
I'm like, is that not every marriage ever?

(00:26:31):
Oh, yeah, for sure.

(00:26:32):
right yeah i'll get you one but i'm getting the most right like i mean the idea is

(00:26:38):
you know they were a married couple and you got one coke left what do you do i'm

(00:26:42):
like that makes so much sense oh yeah for sure for sure i'm trying to think of a

(00:26:48):
moment that i may have done that with you every day of our marriage no every day

(00:26:54):
every coffee do you make first

(00:26:56):
Well, I have to have it.

(00:26:58):
If I do not.

(00:26:59):
Bad example.

(00:27:00):
You don't like to drink hot coffee.

(00:27:02):
So if I make it for you, you don't even drink it right away.

(00:27:05):
So you should make mine first.

(00:27:07):
So it cools down.

(00:27:08):
No, I have to ingest it.

(00:27:10):
It can be molten lava and I will drink it.

(00:27:13):
Oh, OK.

(00:27:13):
Gotcha.

(00:27:15):
But I think overall, him as an actor, him as a person.

(00:27:19):
Yeah.

(00:27:22):
I'm not going to lie.

(00:27:23):
I got a little nervous right when we got the phone call because this is a big-name guy.

(00:27:30):
Yeah, you look over at me and say, you talk.

(00:27:31):
Yeah, I did.

(00:27:33):
I said, Lindsay, you answer.

(00:27:34):
Lindsay, answer.

(00:27:36):
But...

(00:27:37):
It was just kind of like nerve wracking, but he was a great person.

(00:27:40):
Yeah.

(00:27:41):
He's no different than us.

(00:27:42):
Absolutely.

(00:27:43):
And I think he's Pacific time.

(00:27:45):
So it was like 6 a.m.

(00:27:47):
his time.

(00:27:47):
And he was answering our heavy loaded questions.

(00:27:49):
I don't know how he's so chipper.

(00:27:52):
How do you so chipper?

(00:27:53):
What kind of coffee do you drink?

(00:27:55):
Yeah, probably.

(00:27:56):
Or Coke, right?

(00:27:57):
He drank a Coke.

(00:27:58):
With ice in it.

(00:27:59):
Right.

(00:28:01):
Well, I do think that you kept your cool better than I thought you would.

(00:28:07):
I almost lost it at the very beginning.

(00:28:08):
You did start.

(00:28:10):
I'm serious.

(00:28:11):
I think you almost cried.

(00:28:12):
No, I wasn't crying.

(00:28:14):
I was more like excitement overload, trying not to be one of those fangirls in the crowd.

(00:28:20):
But I can see it in you.

(00:28:22):
I can see like your eyes getting glassy.

(00:28:24):
And I don't know if that was just maybe an explosion.

(00:28:28):
Yeah.

(00:28:30):
Yeah, that.

(00:28:30):
It was kind of funny.

(00:28:32):
But yeah, I thought that was a great interview.

(00:28:34):
I enjoyed it.

(00:28:35):
I hope to talk to him again.

(00:28:37):
Agreed.

(00:28:38):
Maybe post-movie.

(00:28:40):
I was going to say, I was going to wonder if I can get him back on post-movie.

(00:28:46):
The good half, it's in theaters tomorrow, July 23rd, 2024.

(00:28:52):
So go check it out.

(00:28:53):
We're going to have to do a date night.

(00:28:54):
Oh, yeah, for sure.

(00:28:55):
I would definitely like to go see that movie.

(00:28:57):
Me too.

(00:28:57):
And we've got the movie theater that has the comfy chairs.

(00:29:00):
Oh, yeah.

(00:29:02):
Yeah.

(00:29:03):
I like that.

(00:29:04):
Go see it.

(00:29:05):
Go see it.

(00:29:06):
Love you.

(00:29:09):
