Paul Walter Hauser
You're crazy,
- [01:42]
Interviewer (Nick)
Paul. Welcome to the show.
- [01:43]
Paul Walter Hauser
Man, it's good to be here. Am I pronouncing this right? Vial files.
- [01:47]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Yes, that's it.
- [01:48]
Interviewer (Nick)
Most people get it wrong, I get it wrong.
- [01:49]
Paul Walter Hauser
Who reveal files that doesn't have the same ring.
- [01:52]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Yeah, it doesn't roll off the top.
- [01:53]
Paul Walter Hauser
Need something that runs the veal.
- [01:56]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
The.
- [01:57]
Paul Walter Hauser
The real veal.
- [01:58]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
The real veal.
- [01:59]
Interviewer (Nick)
The real deal. Oh, we're very excited to have you, Paul. I'm. I'm a huge fan of yours. So I hope, I hope that's okay to say. Sometimes it feels weird when I. You kind of out yourself but kind of indifferent.
- [02:09]
Paul Walter Hauser
It's just. It's nice to hear that from people. But I also try. Try not to place my value on that. That's tricky in this industry.
- [02:16]
Interviewer (Nick)
It is, yeah.
- [02:17]
Paul Walter Hauser
Am I popular? Am I. Am I doing well? What's my tomato meter?
- [02:23]
Interviewer (Nick)
Does that sound. I mean. Yeah, I mean in this industry it's really tough Deep.
- [02:27]
Paul Walter Hauser
Going deep. Right out the gate. It, no, it's tricky. It's tricky. It's. And in any, in any facet of occupation that, that can be a temptation, but it certainly doesn't wield very good results. Probably.
- [02:38]
Interviewer (Nick)
Have you always been kind of cognizant of that or did you have to learn about that self awareness at some point in your career?
- [02:44]
Paul Walter Hauser
I think I was aware of it, but I think you become better at it the older you get, the more you mature. You don't flip out over, over the things you used to be so kind of hyper focused on.
- [02:55]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
I feel like. Did it change more for you once you had kids and you were like,
- [03:01]
Paul Walter Hauser
oh, now that too, right? Definitely. Kids help. And I think, I think the other thing is like you just, I've been very lucky too. It's easier to let go of that stuff after you've had some success than if you've never had some. But as you learn in our industry, it's really weird where so many things are out of your control. Maybe the company that funded your movie went bankrupt, maybe it got acquired in some merger acquisition thing. Maybe they switched editors midway through. Like, you can only control, you can control, which is your performance and how you treat people on the day when you make it.
- [03:39]
Interviewer (Nick)
I mean, again, I mean, I've been such a big fan of yours for a long time. Like Richard Jewell, Blackbird.
- [03:45]
Paul Walter Hauser
I, I, Tanya, once again, like, you don't, you don't have those auspices unless you're handed those scripts. Like it. A lot of it, people think I'm being faux humble when I say like, oh, it's God's grace or it's happenstance. But I mean that, that is what that is. You either get those emails and phone calls and divine appointments at a random party or outing or you don't.
- [04:07]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah. Have you. And when, because you started in comedy, right?
- [04:10]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah, yeah. I did stand up for off and on for like 12 years. And then I, I did improv at UCB in LA. I did one, one level of the four and I did two levels at the IO Theater in Chicago. That's where, you know, Tina Fey and Chris Farley and all these people came out of.
- [04:27]
Interviewer (Nick)
And do you remember like the, as I know, like Richard Jewel. I think a lot of people think that's like, was your big breakout role where it felt like things really changed for you. But like from your perspective in your career, was that like the moment where you kind of had like a pinch me moment where you thought, like, I have like A future in this business, or was there another role that you had that made you. That gave you that feeling?
- [04:47]
Paul Walter Hauser
I mean, you always are somewhat correct slash delusional in thinking you have a place in this business or that it can happen. You have to be. To move to LA and do all the things. But I think the first thing that made me think, oh, this is becoming real, was I did a show called Kingdom with Frank Grillo and Nick Jonas back in the day.
- [05:06]
Interviewer (Nick)
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
- [05:07]
Paul Walter Hauser
And I did, like, 24 out of 40 episodes. And that was like, oh, I got to quit my waitering job. Like, I quit my day job in 2015 for that. And that was like a big, like, oh, this is, like, real. And then I. Tanya was the first time I was a part of something that was more in the public consciousness and kind of on a microscope level where people went, oh, we're actually. Everyone's gonna see this movie. You know, I. Tonya got me in the door for Hollywood. I think Richard Jewell is where they shut the door and locked it and said, you can stay. And then Blackbird was like, hey, we have this whole other part of the house. Do you want to come to that? And it was like, that's fun. You know, you hope to get to take the tour along your career.
- [05:48]
Interviewer (Nick)
Like, at what point? Cause I'm assuming you get, like, every actor, you get smaller roles and you get bigger role. I saw an interview with you, and you're just kind of talking about. Maybe it was at the YouTube video you did with your wife, which was, like, really touching. But you.
- [06:02]
Paul Walter Hauser
Oh, yeah. Where we talked about our marriage. It's. It's like a video ministry thing called I am second. Yeah, it's on YouTube.
- [06:08]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah, but you were just kind of talking about how you're just kind of how you saw yourself, you know, versus, like, how you got into acting, you know, compared to, like, your other siblings and kind of being the funny guy. At what point did you kind of see yourself as like, I could be, like, a leading person in a movie, or I could be, like, the main, you know, the key person. Because at first, you know, you're kind of doing, like, these character actor work and you're kind of dominating the scenes that you're in to be, like, you know, doing a movie with Mark Wahlberg and being like, the two main characters, like in Balls.
- [06:37]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah, yeah. No, that. It's interesting. I remember growing up, like, certain movies I watched, Certain people stuck with me, even though they weren't, like, the lead role. And one of those People I would go on to work with briefly. I didn't have any scenes with her, but I vividly remember Alice and Janney had one scene In Miracle on 34th street, the film from, like, 94, with Mara Wilson, the little girl from Matilda. She's now a. A human woman at the time, a little girl. I remember her in that. And I remember her playing the principal in 10 Things I Hate about you with Julia Styles and Heath Ledger. And I just remember thinking, like, that woman every time I see her, whether it's those or drop dead gorgeous, like American Beauty. She's always so good every time I see her. So that was my benchmark of. They probably won't let me star in movies, but, like, I'm gonna be the best person if I have five minutes.
- [07:28]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Yeah.
- [07:29]
Paul Walter Hauser
And Paul Giamatti in My Best Friend's Wedding has a scene with Julia Roberts in the hallway. They share a cigarette. And, like, it left an imprint on me at 13 years old or whatever. When I saw that movie, I thought, that's the key. The key is to be really freaking good. And then maybe they throw you a lead role eventually. But either way, like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna try to be that good all the time. And. And then Richard Jewell and Blackbird and Luckiest man in America and stuff like this balls up came my way where. Where I was like, oh, man, awesome. Like, it happened. It happened, period. Now it's happening more than once. And selfishly, selfishly, you. It's fun to be the lead, and I would like to keep doing that, but, you know, you gotta provide for your family, and you're lucky to be in the business at all. So you take whatever good stuff comes your way. Hopefully.
- [08:18]
Interviewer (Nick)
You were talking in that video and you were talking about actors that you also, like, saw yourself in. I hope this is okay for me saying. But, like, to me, I feel like you're the Philip Seymour Hoffman of our time in a way. I hope that's not too heavy to say. But, like, the same way you described every time I would see Philip in a movie, like, no matter what the
- [08:38]
Paul Walter Hauser
role it was feeling Scent of a Woman or just whatever it is, he
- [08:42]
Interviewer (Nick)
would steal that scene. And I. I've always really enjoyed your work and felt exactly that way about you, but I feel like higher praise than that. But, yeah, I mean, I feel like a lot of actors say that, but how were you able to make that a real thing? Because I think every actor is like, hey, I want to steal a scene. But, like, what? When you're going in.
- [08:59]
Paul Walter Hauser
How do you. You just, you just. I think some people kind of have the sauce. There are eight, nine year olds who crack me up. Or they sing a song and you're like, wow, they have something. So it's a little bit of that if it's innate or born into you. And then you have to mature that and you have to come prepared, whether that's having your lines memorized or having ideas or being able to do something on the fly. I remember on my first film I was doing a driving sequence. They had me driving a real rickety kind of busted down vehicle. I forget the make and model, but there was something to where the car broke down mid scene. And the director, Dustin Lance Black, who won the Oscar for writing Milk and wrote this movie, the first one I was in, he didn't yell cut. So I just started improvising in character. Like the car had really broken down. And after yell, cut, he was like, dude, that's genius. And it was like, that gave me a sort of a tick and a motivation to like, always be prepared, be ready to improvise. And some of the actors I admire most, like the late Catherine o' Hara or Christopher Guest, they. They had that improv thing where they can be put in a Christopher Guest movie and just go off. So I thought, well, why not bring that to every genre you do and at least have it ready? So that's something I do that might, might stand out there. There are things in movies or trailers where I go, oh, they kept that. And it's like, it feels like a little internal badge of honor. They liked your improv.
- [10:30]
Interviewer (Nick)
That was your baby. That was your creative.
- [10:31]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah, yeah. There's a moment, I Tanya, where and Steven Rogers wrote this perfect screenplay. It certainly didn't need improv. But there was a moment in I, Tanya, where I say the original line, I say to Sebastian Stan was something like, I have this friend Derek. He could do it for about $1,000. Talking about the hit on Nancy Kerrigan.
- [10:49]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah.
- [10:49]
Paul Walter Hauser
And I thought, wouldn't it be funny if he said I shouldn't even be saying his name, Derek? Because it's like, who, like, who would be suspicious if you just say the first name? So it's like a little joke I threw in on take two or three and they were like, oh, keep that. We like that. And that was cool.
- [11:06]
Interviewer (Nick)
I felt connected when watching that movie. I was on Dancing with the Stars with Nancy Kerrigan. I got to meet her. We got eliminated the same week.
- [11:14]
Paul Walter Hauser
Well, I was about to ask how did it go? It sounds like it might not have went how you wanted it to.
- [11:18]
Fan or Audience Member
It wasn't the worst thing that happened to her.
- [11:21]
Interviewer (Nick)
She was the Olympics. I made it like, to the quarter. Fine. I was like, top five.
- [11:26]
Paul Walter Hauser
Was it Nancy Kerrigan or Tanya Harding?
- [11:28]
Interviewer (Nick)
Nancy Kerrigan.
- [11:29]
Paul Walter Hauser
Okay. They both did it.
- [11:30]
Interviewer (Nick)
Oh, Danny Harding.
- [11:31]
Paul Walter Hauser
Tanya Harding did Dancing on the Stars?
- [11:33]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah, I think she did. She probably did. I'm pro. She probably.
- [11:36]
Paul Walter Hauser
I think she did. After the movie came out, she had like a brief resurgence.
- [11:39]
Interviewer (Nick)
Okay. Nancy did pretty well. But I imagine Nancy probably wanted to go farther than finish the same as the former Bachelor. Yeah, it was a flex for me.
- [11:48]
Commercial Voice (Cantu)
Less.
- [11:49]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Less for her, for sure.

Mother Day is coming up and it's time to remind the moms in our lives how appreciative we are of all the things that we do.

Even if May 9th snuck up on you, they can still make May 10th count so if you're a procrastinator like me, that's maybe part of the reason why I love flowers because I'm a bit of a procrastinator when it comes to gifts. But again, flowers always win the day every time. And you can do that with 1-800-flowers. Every time we order with 1-800-flowers, they show up. Amazing quality, fresh flowers.

- [15:41]
Paul Walter Hauser
So your. Your initial rise to stardom came with the Bachelor?
- [15:46]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah, I was on rad. Yeah.
- [15:48]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah. My buddy Elon Elan. Elan Gale. Yeah.
- [15:52]
Interviewer (Nick)
Close friend. Close friend of ours.
- [15:53]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah, I love him to death. I just made his acquaintance recently, but his big start was the Bachelor and now he's killing it in film.
- [16:01]
Interviewer (Nick)
And yeah, we're doing some work together. He changed. He. He changed my life.
- [16:05]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah, I like that guy a lot. He's someone I just want to be around.
- [16:08]
Interviewer (Nick)
He's so very funny, very interesting. Yeah, yeah, he's. How did you meet him?
- [16:13]
Paul Walter Hauser
I just got set up on a general meeting on Zoom with him. My buddy Julian Sergi, who is one of my dear friends and we co write movies and TV together. He. He had a meeting with him. He's like, you gotta meet this guy. And then we didn't. It was a love fest. And now we're trying to develop something with him.
- [16:29]
Interviewer (Nick)
That's. That's incredible. Do you know when you're doing like, improv stuff, is it harder to do when you're doing drama? Because I feel like people assume improv with comedy. Like with. With, you know, with balls up. I can't help but wonder if, like, half that movie was you guys. Improv.
- [16:43]
Paul Walter Hauser
No, no, no. We had a great script. I would say like 90, 95% of it's probably scripted and balls up. But we played around a little bit and found some stuff. And with comedy, it's a little easier to improvise because at the end of the day, you're usually trying to get the joke, get the laugh. But in drama, I do it too. Just in drama, it's about keeping it real.
- [17:03]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Yeah.
- [17:04]
Paul Walter Hauser
And if you can have a real moment in a dramatic film, maybe it'll be funny or maybe it'll be powerful in its own way or something. In Deliver Me From Nowhere, the Springsteen movie I did, there's a moment where Jeremy Allen white as versus Springsteen, says, like, I want the original. I don't like this. And he like, storms out of the studio. And they kept the camera rolling on me and Jeremy Strong and Marc Maron. They didn't yell cut. So I just went, you know. Cause he's saying scrap everything. I just care about this thing. And there's a beat we take of silence. And I just said. I was like, man, I really love Born in the usa and it was just genuine. It wasn't trying to be super funny, but like, it gets one of the biggest laughs in Kind of a non laugh movie. And non laugh movies, you need some levity sometimes. So that was an honest moment that just happened to be funny.
- [17:56]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
When you got the script for Balls up, was there? Like, this is nuts.
- [18:02]
Paul Walter Hauser
No pun intended. Multiple. Yeah, multiple.
- [18:04]
Interviewer (Nick)
Because at first you're watching and you're like, what am I watching?
- [18:07]
Fan or Audience Member
At first, like, and you see Molly Shannon.
- [18:10]
Interviewer (Nick)
But then the premise is so like,
- [18:11]
Paul Walter Hauser
it's a comedy playground.
- [18:13]
Interviewer (Nick)
I was saying to Natalie, when we're watching the movie, you're like, do you if this, if this actually happened in real life where a guy stopped a goal from like a world cup, like, this would be one of the most insane. Like, it's an insane premise, but it's based off of like, what if this actually happened?
- [18:30]
Paul Walter Hauser
It's based off the reaction of unhealthy tribalism. And I don't think that's really that out of the orbit. I remember in the late 90s, early 2000, you would hear stories about kids who like brought a switchblade to school, threatening some other kid for their Beanie Baby Pokemon card. And it's like, yeah, that's just, that's evocative of the psychotic nature of fandom. And so that part isn't so crazy. The crazy part is of course you know that there's an alligator and there's. They're getting shot at on a boat and that stuff.
- [19:02]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
And the like condom that's covering the balls too. It's like, I mean, I didn't expect
- [19:06]
Interviewer (Nick)
that either, you know, like, why haven't you, why hasn't anyone thought of it? It was like the, the through lines.
- [19:14]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah. Multiple people came up to me, they're like, that seems like a good product. I'm like, maybe. I don't know. I literally. I lost my virginity to my wife. I like waited. So I'm not a condom guy in general. I don't really know much about them.
- [19:27]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Speaking of, how many kids do you have?
- [19:28]
Paul Walter Hauser
Three.
- [19:29]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Three. Two boys.
- [19:30]
Paul Walter Hauser
Two boys. And then the youngest is our eight month old baby girl. And they are a whole bunch of fun. Is this your first?
- [19:37]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
No. We have a two year old little girl and then I'm pregnant with twins.
- [19:40]
Paul Walter Hauser
Two more girls would have been gangster if you just said, what do you mean? Yeah, you know what I mean. I'm like, oh, F word. Amazing. Four girls.
- [19:47]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Three girls.
- [19:48]
Paul Walter Hauser
Three. Only three. Oh, sorry. Four. All together it'll be three. Okay, have fun with that. That'll be interesting.
- [19:53]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
How did it change for you going from boys to girl?
- [19:56]
Paul Walter Hauser
Not much. The only thing that really changes that. I can already tell I'm more lenient and defensive of my daughter. She'll probably get away with murder, whereas the boys, well, although the boys are near committing murder, they're psychotic. They do a lot of things that pet my peeve. Like my son Harris will just pour his drink, drink or beverage out on the floor because he's just fascinated by water. He has autism too. And like water and horses are like certain things that, that kids with autism sometimes connect with and water is one of them. But he'll. He'll literally pour his entire LaCroix on our couch cushion and I'll be like, buddy, why, why now? No one can sit there. We have company coming over. And then my middle child, my three year old, Jonah, Jonah Maverick, he, man, he just, he's so sweet and empathetic and entertaining and, and interesting. But also with that comes the Tasmanian Devil spirit of like not being able to turn it off. And especially when you're trying to get him into bed or the baby sleeping, and he'll just be walking around the house going, nipples.
- [21:06]
Fan or Audience Member
That's how I was.
- [21:07]
Paul Walter Hauser
Because you heard us say nipples once, and now he says it all the time and we're like, oh my God, what is happening?
- [21:12]
Interviewer (Nick)
Has, has being a dad, like grounded you in a, in a way that you didn't expect, or did you kind of like, you know, for me, just being a dad for the first time, like I always wanted to be a dad and then all of a sudden it happened and it's just like I have found it to be really just calming because no matter what I'm stressed about, and I'm often stressed about a lot of things, or it just feels like the world's heavy and coming down on you, but like that is the one thing going home. It does, it does ground me in a great way.
- [21:38]
Paul Walter Hauser
I think it helped me reprioritize in a way which a good relationship or, or children will do it also, it also makes you have a better fortitude for things. Things that you thought were hard really aren't hard in comparison. Yeah, but I think, I think too, it's really. I don't know, it just. I think it makes you a better person in general. Maybe. Yeah. I hope I answered that correctly.
- [22:03]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
I'm teaching our 2 year old to go pretty please to her dad. I'm like, use your eyes. So she'll be like this pity, please.
- [22:16]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah, you can weaponize them or make them part of the Peace Corps, it depends. It's funny though, the things they pick up on too. And you just. Sometimes the thing you're most perturbed by is a character trait that you yourself inhabit, that they're somehow sponging.
- [22:31]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
You see it in them and you're like, oh, that's me.
- [22:35]
Paul Walter Hauser
I'm like, oh, my poor parents. I probably didn't give them enough credit, obviously.
- [22:38]
Interviewer (Nick)
Well, those. What the. It's the insurance commercial that really hits for me. Like, you know, are you growing up to be like your parents?
- [22:44]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah.
- [22:44]
Interviewer (Nick)
And as I get older, I like, I feel it in my bones, like, I'll do something. And I'm like, oh, fuck, I'm my dad. And it really just like, I used to never think I was like my parents.
- [22:55]
Paul Walter Hauser
And sometimes quite literal where, like, I remember this story. Growing up, we had these friends called the Kunitzers, Ryan and Megan Kunitzer. And Megan tells a story about me. She was over playing with my sister, who she was in the same grade as, and she said she overheard from the bathroom. My mom said, paul, Walter, why did you poop in the tub? And I might have been five, four or five or something, I don't know. But I said to her, I go, it feels warm. And I didn't. I didn't even know how to interpret that because I'm so far away from four or five. But she said to me, she goes, if you do that again, I'll make you eat it. I assume that worked as gangster of a response as that is, but yesterday my son pooped his swim diaper. My 3 year old, in the swimming pool for like the 12th time. And I've told him so many times not to do it. And I'm like, why did you do it? And he goes, because I pooped. There's no real reason. He's just. Because I pooped. And it's like as I'm having that moment of having to change his diaper and go through all this insanity of watery poo poo, I'm just like, my parents apparently went through this once or twice of me, maybe more than I know.
- [24:13]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Did it make you want to say next time you do this?
- [24:16]
Paul Walter Hauser
I mean, any threat we give him doesn't work usually. And that's. That's the psychotic magic of my 3 year old that I was alluding to earlier.
- [24:25]
Interviewer (Nick)
That's fine.
- [24:26]
Paul Walter Hauser
He's not one for authority or correction. He's gonna do his thing I see in myself. Yeah, it took me a long time to get corrected on a number of things.
- [24:35]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
If there's anything from you and your wife's relationship that you hope your kids take on to their future relationships. What would you hope it would be?
- [24:45]
Paul Walter Hauser
Having a relationship with God? Not to. Not to be annoying and like, shove that down people's throats. It's just, I don't know, I have to believe in God because people in positions of power fail too often, and I'm exhausted from the amount of failure in our public officials. You can fill in the blanks as you hear that. And. And the other thing I would say is a sense of play.
- [25:09]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah.
- [25:09]
Paul Walter Hauser
My wife and I were able to laugh about the pain. We're able to laugh in the pain, we're able to make things fun. And I just think you can't stop dating your spouse. You gotta keep finding ways to make it fun or interesting or just convivial in some way.
- [25:25]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah.
- [25:26]
Paul Walter Hauser
Because I see a lot of marriages and my own went south, you know, vastly, because of my behavior. And I corrected that and got sober. But. But I just see a lot of marriages that go south. And I really think there's a lack of. There's a lack of effort. It's something, you know, it's called the pursuit of happiness because you. The root word is not happy. It's pursuit. You know, you have to pursue each other, I think.
- [25:52]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah. And it's always encouraging to, you know, I said, I watched that YouTube video and, you know, people are often afraid to kind of talk about the dark times or sad times. And it's very inspiring when someone like yourself and your wife kind of are open about that because you guys seem like you're in a great place now. And that's, you know, it's not always easy to get through those moments and get to the other side. And I think nowadays in this day and age, I feel like couples date, they hit a wall and then they end, that is, end things, you know, and they don't know how to kind of work through some of those issues.
- [26:24]
Paul Walter Hauser
So what I'm about to say, a lot of people in the manosphere would take offense to it and think that it's me being feminist, it's actually just me being honest. And some people can't handle honesty. Honesty to them is a differentiation from their ideology, and thus they feel the need to lambast verbally and punish via keyboard anybody who doesn't align with them. But the reality is such the vast majority of the problems in the world are because men, and especially wealthy men, don't take responsibility or accountability for their actions. Give me 10 minutes to Google. I'll find you 7,000 answers for what I'm talking about. So the same way that if someone says something untrue about me, I will violently hit back. You will never see. If someone were to accuse me of something I didn't do, you will never see me put out a statement where it's like an attorney proofread it or something. Yeah, it will be me being that bitch, as they say to whomever is slandering me, because that's. Welcome to the real world. That's how I respond. I'm not an actor, I'm not a entrepreneur. I'm a person. If you say something that's not true, I'm going to be offended. If you say something that's true, I need to take accountability for it. And just the same way that I'm quick to fight back if it's untrue, I will be the first to sit down and. And swallow whatever chewed up food I put out there and, and, and be the first to say, yeah, I screwed up. Let's talk about it. I think that's hugely important.
- [28:01]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's really well said. And I imagine being a father of two sons, that is something that you kind of think about as they get older.
- [28:08]
Paul Walter Hauser
And dude, yeah, I'm gonna re em the riot act if they crash the car or I find them with a bunch of marijuana in their dresser drawer at 14. Like, I'm gonna come down way less hard on them than if they do not take responsibility for something. Yeah, I don't mind you making mistakes, but, you know, you gotta own it. You gotta own it. You go through the pain. You know, surgery isn't fun. We all hate going to the dentist. We hate going to the doctor. We put off checkups and stuff. And it's like, dude, you are going to thank yourself for walking into the fire and walking through it. Because if you wait, something way worse is going to happen. And we see that with diagnosis. You know, you, you don't want to get a breast exam and then you have breast cancer. You know, that almost happened to my mother who fought breast cancer. And she had a moment where a friend told her, you need to get checked up if you haven't. She did, and she found something. It's like, you know, nothing is gained from, from putting it off, I suppose.
- [29:08]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah.
- [29:09]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
How did you meet your wife?
- [29:10]
Paul Walter Hauser
Hinge, the dating app.
- [29:11]
Interviewer (Nick)
Really?
- [29:12]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah. Thank you, Hinge. Shout out.
- [29:15]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
How long ago is that?
- [29:16]
Paul Walter Hauser
We. We met and went on our first date. July 19, I think of 2020. No, 2019. July 2019. Then we reconnected during COVID when we both. Our jobs stopped and we were both in LA at the same time. And it was. And we didn't forget about each other. It was just we're busy with other things and suddenly no one was busy with anything.
- [29:39]
Interviewer (Nick)
That's kind of right around when we met.
- [29:41]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah, it was. I think, you know, for. For the. The many problems I have with the COVID fallout, among them, transparency, which I don't think there was. And that's not a partisan issue. I think it's pretty bipartisan to say we were not told the entirety of that story. I do. I am grateful for the fact that it made me pause and forced me to. To fall in love, which I was so career obsessed at the time. I don't know if I would have seen what was in front of me, the gift that my wife Amy is and was, had it not been for Covid shutdown.
- [30:14]
Interviewer (Nick)
How does she kind of keep you grounded as your star continues to rise? And I feel like this is really the only beginning of your career? How does she keep you centered and keep you grounded so you don't, like, kind of lose yourself in this kind of crazy city that is Hollywood?
- [30:28]
Paul Walter Hauser
She's the perfect person for me because she both appreciates what I do for a living and will celebrate it with me and has even been a part of it. Like, she worked for a record label at one point. She worked for a production company and was an associate producer on a movie with Dennis Quaid and Queen Latifah called the Tiger Rising. So, like, she gets it, but she also will tell me, like, time to put the phone away. Time to. Let's. Let's pray. Let's stop and eat a meal with our kids. Let's eat at the dining room table, not in front of the tv. Like, she has these wholesome sort of like, black and white values that. That are helpful for me, for sure.
- [31:09]
Interviewer (Nick)
Natalie does the same thing. It's like those little things that you feel like you need to.
- [31:12]
Paul Walter Hauser
Little things matter so much.
- [31:14]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah.
- [31:14]
Paul Walter Hauser
God, they matter.
- [31:15]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
I'm always. I tell Nick all the time, like, don't walk in the house on the phone. Like, finish your phone call outside. Finish it in the car. So that way when you walk in, they. She's like, daddy. And you can be like, river. And it's not like River.
- [31:29]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah, yeah. It's tough, dude. It's tough.
- [31:31]
Interviewer (Nick)
And I never would have thought about something like that unless she. You made it a thing, and now it's like, a thing.
- [31:35]
Paul Walter Hauser
I will say it's not all of our fault. If you look at the. The sort of evolution of the cell phone, it started out pretty harmless. We had it because we needed to text or call people. And what if you're in a jam or what if you need to hear about something that's time sensitive, et cetera. But then it's like they put a navigation system on there. So you're using an ear car to navigate and then they put music on there. So of course you're going to use it to play music. And it becomes this ever evolving snowball where we have to use it for our jobs. So suddenly it becomes work centric. Then it's like you can't not use.
- [32:16]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
You can't escape it. You can't like clock out, you know,
- [32:19]
Paul Walter Hauser
and maybe you could if you did a hardcore caveman reversal, which some of my friends have, and that's a testament to their character and that they've done it. I just, I haven't found a way.
- [32:28]
Interviewer (Nick)
If you were to talk to Paul and say 2018 or before things really made it for you, what would be. Yikes. What would be the thing that would surprise 2018 Paul the most? If you were to give them a heads up on where things are?
- [32:43]
Paul Walter Hauser
Time machine aspect, like tell yourself what you're doing. Yeah, so much. It's weekly, if not daily, that I have an awesome wife and three healthy, awesome kids. That I lost weight and got sober, that I. I mean, there are days I was. It's just stupid. There's so many things I just, I mean, the fact that I'm promoting a movie where I get to co star with Mark Wahlberg and be directed by Pete Farrelli and have a script from the writers of Deadpool and Zombieland, the fact that Amazon Skydance flew my family out to be with me during the shoot in Australia and put us up in a nice house. Like, I've been so blessed and fortunate. And then the fanboy in me, I'm texting wrestling heroes of mine like Mick Foley and Diamond Dallas Page. And I'm texting with Dave Bautista and Sam Rockwell and it's just like, it's very cool that people I really admire are friendly with me and have helped me or want to collaborate.
- [33:43]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah, Sam Rockwell, that's a cool one. Did you.
- [33:45]
Paul Walter Hauser
Is there anyone cooler than him? I don't know. Him and Michael Shannon are like the top of my cool list. We actually, in the boy category, we
- [33:53]
Interviewer (Nick)
actually had Becky lynch and Seth Rollins on the show a couple months ago and I heard that you were Good. You like. You train with them?
- [34:00]
Paul Walter Hauser
I did. I did a training session with them in la, and the ring was not soft. It was way harder than any ring I've ever been in. I took a bump on my back, and I said, nope, I'm done doing that. Not during a practice round. But they've been super sweet and supportive of what I do, and I. Them and turn. And it's been a fun friendship, those two. Yeah.
- [34:21]
Interviewer (Nick)
You've won an Emmy already, right?
- [34:23]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah.
- [34:24]
Interviewer (Nick)
Is, like, winning an Oscar or some of those, like, actor awards, is that, like, on your bucket list of accomplishments? I feel like it's just a matter of time before you win, like, an Oscar. Or do you. Is. Or is that kind of superficial stuff that, like, you don't bother with or. Or would you be lying if I'd
- [34:40]
Paul Walter Hauser
say yes to both? I mean, it's equal parts a bucket list thing and be fun, but. But also, like, think of how many performances we love that are worthy of winning, that haven't won. It's kind of hard to take award shows seriously when you don't nominate John Goodman for Best Supporting Actor for the Big Lebowski. Yeah.
- [34:59]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Yeah.
- [34:59]
Paul Walter Hauser
What a brilliant. What a brilliant, fun, nuanced, specific, memorable performance. And it's like, really, you don't nominate him? Like, I. I kind of don't care after that. Yeah, to some degree.
- [35:12]
Fan or Audience Member
As far as, like, the supporting actor to leading actor thing, I feel like there's been a trend of a lot of roles that would typically be lead being put in the supporting category, and I was just wondering.
- [35:21]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah, sometimes that's, like, if they're. If they're going up against each other, like a co star thing. I remember Ford versus Ferrari came out, like, six years ago, and that was like a. Do we dominate Christian Bale or Matt Damon? I think at the end of the day, they both went for leader support. I forget.
- [35:36]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Yeah.
- [35:37]
Fan or Audience Member
And I just feel like hearing you talk about kind of, like, like, for lack of a better term, like, the character actor.
- [35:42]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Right.
- [35:42]
Fan or Audience Member
Like, John Goodman, Catherine o'.
- [35:44]
Lost Person
Hara.
- [35:44]
Fan or Audience Member
Like, there's so much more to do with that, and it's such a specific thing versus, like, a typical, like, lead role that I. I just feel like there's, like, there's not as much of a value in that. Even though, like, to your point, like, it is so much, like, the core of, like, art.
- [36:00]
Paul Walter Hauser
It's probably a money thing, too. I mean, prettier people lead films usually, and. And they put butts in seats, which makes the money, which keeps the circus going. Around, so that's probably more where that is. But if. If you introduce me to Richard Gere and Stu Buscemi, it's like I'm more flabbergasted or excited to meet Buscemi, probably just because I love those roles more. Even though Richard Gere is a super handsome, wealthy leading man who's brilliant in his own right.
- [36:28]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
How does Amy, like, celebrate the release of your movies? Like, when Balls up comes out. What is. Are. Are y' all gonna. I mean, I imagine you probably wouldn't
- [36:37]
Paul Walter Hauser
take the kids, but part of it's celebration. Part of it's just respecting the space. Cause, like, sometimes I really way I'll respect her space and like, you know, she'll go to a women's conference or a nonprofit thing or needs to go out for appetizers and drinks with the girls for three hours or whatever. Like, I. She really gives me the space to do the press stuff. And if I need to be creative and run my lines or do what I'm doing and then celebration wise, just like, just being a cheerleader, just being there for me. And. And sometimes also, if I'm not. If I'm not gobsmacked by what's going on, she'll kind of remind me, like, do you realize what you get to do today? Like this? Like, that's so healthy.
- [37:18]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Yeah, that is nice. Do you watch your movies back? Do you watch your work back? Or are you kind of like, yeah, yeah, usually.
- [37:25]
Paul Walter Hauser
Sometimes I'll just watch it once and I'll be like, that's enough. I don't need to watch that again. And then some stuff I watch all the time. Like, I. I love. I. Tonya. I would watch that once every year and a half for two years. Like, I love Cruella.
- [37:37]
Interviewer (Nick)
Cruella was a great film.
- [37:38]
Paul Walter Hauser
I love Naked Gun. I'll probably watch once every year and a half or two years because. And by the way, some people are like, oh, like, you watch all your stuff. The actors who say, like, I can't watch my work. I'm just like, well, you're not going to learn anything because you learn by watching your work. And if you don't study yourself, you don't know what you need to eliminate or refine or add. You know, there's a reason a chef. Some of these chefs, by the way, are brilliant. They're unbelievable what they would do with a tiramisu or an African stew or what have you. But if they don't dip their spoon in and taste it, they don't know what to add or subtract. They don't know if it's ready. Sometimes you see that all the way across the board. So I look at it more from that culinary standpoint of I'm taking the temperature and I'm tasting this. And there are times, too, where, like, I. I thought what I. Not everything I do is awesome, but what I did in something, like, I. Tonya, I don't need to be nominated for best supporting actor. I know I did the job.
- [38:38]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah.
- [38:38]
Paul Walter Hauser
I tasted that and went, yup.
- [38:40]
Interviewer (Nick)
Do you think sometimes the fear of watching it is like an insecurity about the performance? Because I feel like with. With stuff I've done, I have a hard time watching. It's. I think deep down, I just don't have the. I. I feel like there's something wrong with it.
- [38:53]
Paul Walter Hauser
I think. I think I've graduated to a point where I. I know when I kill it, and I know where I fall short. And so there's a comfortability and watching or listening. Yeah. Press more than the actual acting. Work is harder sometimes because I go, oh, I shouldn't have said that, or, oh, this might be taken this way, and I get mad at myself.
- [39:10]
Interviewer (Nick)
Is there a an actor or director you have not worked with yet that's kind of on your bucket list that you hope so many. Can you give us one?
- [39:19]
Paul Walter Hauser
I'm dying to work with Martin McDonough. Okay. I'm dying to work with Anthony Hopkins, Denzel Washington. There's just people that I think are. That I would have a good time with, too, that I go, you know, I would love to work with somebody. Just people that feel, like, similar to me, where we get along.
- [39:37]
Interviewer (Nick)
Like, we could be friends. You almost want to.
- [39:39]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah. One of those. Like, I watch Revolutionary Road, and you could kind of be like, whoa, Kate and Leo. But part of me is more fascinated with Katherine Hahn and Michael Shannon work just because I think they would get me and like me more. That's its own weird insecurity thing of, like, when I worked with Sebastian, Stan and I. Tanya, my first thought before meeting him was like, this guy's so pretty. He's gonna hate me and be annoyed by my sense of humor. He's not gonna get me. We're not gonna get along. And that's its own trauma damage of my own. Because then we did get along. So I don't know what that is, but I have that thing too with, like. I'm more apt to believe that Michael Shannon would get me and like me than Brad Pitt. That makes Sense. Yeah.
- [40:23]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah. I think it's super relatable.
- [40:24]
Paul Walter Hauser
I.
- [40:25]
Interviewer (Nick)
You know, I always get weirder with. With, you know, it's like, you get weirder with people you'd want to date. You get weirder with people you're. You're fans of or you're like, you. You want them to like you, you know, like, you're gonna leave.
- [40:34]
Paul Walter Hauser
You want them to, like, you're gonna
- [40:35]
Interviewer (Nick)
leave here, and I'm gonna be like, how did that go?
- [40:38]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah, I love this little triumvirate here. I would come back anytime.
- [40:43]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Do you feel like you see that path for yourself at some point? Directing any 100?
- [40:49]
Fan or Audience Member
Yeah.
- [40:49]
Paul Walter Hauser
I already have scripts I've written that I want to direct. And I got into producing part in part, to learn the trade and learn how movies get made behind the scenes. And that can be deeply frustrating, but also rewarding and fun. It depends. I think I've learned that as a producer. I'm not really the money guy, but I am the guy who can do creative control, who can give notes on the script, who can text or call an actor to get them to sign on. And I found myself advocating for the cast and crew during filmmaking, where if they have an idea or someone's being bullied or feed. Treated unfairly, I'm the first to speak up and be like, this is bullshit. Like, we're gonna do something about this. And. And I'm proud of that. I really like advocating for people because I didn't even realize it until recently. People look at me like, you know, I had somebody say from the makeup department, hair and makeup, that these lovely women I worked on recent. On a movie with recently that I produced. It's called the Very Best People. And great cast. It's like me and Jake Lacey and Carrie Bechet, Catherine Moriarty. Catherine Moriarty. A bunch of great people. But I had some people take me aside, and they're like, just so, you know, not everybody treats you the same. And I was like, what does that mean? They're like, people show their best selves to you on set, and then they go and they mistreat somebody else who's lower on the totem pole. And it really messed me up. And I started. I got choked up. And it kind of like felt like a bit of, like, a. A loss of innocence for me, because I just treat everybody the same, I think. And to know that people weren't being treated the same really upset me emotionally and. And in the justice tick that me and my wife have. So I just. I'm definitely the guy who is. Is going to be super chill about staying at a bad hotel motel. I'll be super chill about the food not being all the, all the things that you hear people complain about. Like their trailer. I will never complain about. But I will be an absolute monster if I hear that you're mistreating a production assistant for no reason. That makes me go absolutely berserk.
- [43:00]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
Love that.
- [43:00]
Interviewer (Nick)
That's amazing. I love how you're using your influence and power.
- [43:03]
Paul Walter Hauser
Well, I don't know how people worked with some of these people that you hear called out. Like whether it's a Kevin Spacer or Harvey Weinstein. Like, yeah, I am not okay with whatever is going on. I don't know their personal lives. I would never know that. That's why you don't fault people that have worked with Weinstein. Like I don't know what the hell he's doing at 10 o' clock on a Tuesday. Come on. That's ridiculous. But if I see it or I'm. I'm party to it. Ugly street version of me that grew up in Saginaw, Michigan in a horrible neighborhood riddled with crime. Slash. The Christian vibes of wanting to follow Christ and not put up with a bunch of crap.
- [43:44]
Interviewer's Partner or Co-host
It is a dangerous religion.
- [43:46]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah. I will. I will be a beast if you
- [43:49]
Interviewer (Nick)
bring that out of your Midwest guy. I'm from Wisconsin.
- [43:52]
Paul Walter Hauser
Yeah. You know, dude, like somebody. Like somebody. You're on a city bus and somebody mistreats some woman. You go up and you do something.
- [44:00]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah.
- [44:00]
Paul Walter Hauser
You don't pull out your iPhone and film it like a coward.
- [44:04]
Interviewer (Nick)
Yeah.
- [44:05]
Paul Walter Hauser
But I'm not. Not on that train.
- [44:07]
Interviewer (Nick)
That's so well said. Well, I, I know you gotta get going, but I just want to thank you for balls up. You don't. We haven't gotten like a good buddy comedy. Action comedy, they're just fun.
- [44:15]
Paul Walter Hauser
Whether it's like Sandra Bullock and most of McCarthy in the heat, which I love. I thought it was so funny.
- [44:20]
Fan or Audience Member
Yeah.
- [44:21]
Paul Walter Hauser
To like Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker and Rush Hour. It's a time honored tradition in the sub genre of buddy comedy that I wish we had more of them. I think sometimes people make them, but they're kind of like half cooked. I think chemistry is everything. And thankfully I was friendly with Mark and he invited me to the movie and it shows. I think we have good chemistry. It works.
- [44:44]
Interviewer (Nick)
You guys have great chemistry. And there's one more question that when you were. When you were singing that duet in the movie together.
- [44:50]
Paul Walter Hauser
Gautier.
- [44:51]
Interviewer (Nick)
Gautier. Did you Guys know that you made that great music together because it honestly sounded like they could.
- [44:58]
Paul Walter Hauser
Ironically, really good.
- [44:59]
Interviewer (Nick)
Like, you guys should maybe go on tour. Or was that improv? How did that come.
- [45:04]
Paul Walter Hauser
So we saw that in the script and I was excited from the jump. I don't know that Mark was as excited as me. Maybe if it was like rapping NWA he would have been a little more. A little more into it or something. But, yeah, we recorded that in a. In a studio sound booth thing in Australia. And he went very glum and kind of like, I don't want to be here with the character choice. And I, I looked at it like, you know, I'm here, and just kind of went full jazz hands and got into it. And that the juxtaposition of the two makes for good comedy.

Yes. April 15, Amazon Prime. Direct to streamer. And yeah, the nice thing about streamers, though, I'm a theater guy and I go to the theater as often as possible. Nice thing about a streamer, you can sit in your underpants and you can be checking your phone if you need to.

My favorite line in the movie was when your character gets. You're like, I got an Abigail Breslin. It's Shirley with double gratitude.
- [46:20]
Paul Walter Hauser
That was one on set where, like, where I kept. I, I like improv. A bunch of lines of what that could be. Abigail Breslin was the scripted line. It was by far the best. But I did it where I was like, this is a Rand Paul. This is a. I just kept trying to think of other people. Abigail Breslin was just so, like, oh,

it was the writer of Zombieland.

Paul Walter Hauser
You said. Yeah. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the rare Zombieland, Deadpool movies. They. They wrote in all these funny one liners and I was so grateful. We just had gold. Yeah, there's another line. What is it? There's just, there's just some lines that, like, also sometimes they don't make you laugh on the page and then you do it and the performances bring it out. And yeah, I just, I, I hope the people watching, listening, like, please don't Think this is some bro y raunch fest comic. Like this is very much a four quadrant movie where we're just there to make you laugh. Like I, I am a, a Christian practicing person and I still love South Park. Yeah. And the idea is like, don't take it too seriously. Just have fun. You can, you can still love people while, while watching a psychotic joke or
