I've actually heard on the Nick Cannon of Malibu. Is

You were into Luca A for a minute. Huh. Um

that's great. How's how's those sleepless nights for you? You
know what, He's amazing, man, He's not It's not that bad.
It's really I mean he sleeps sometimes like four and

(01:44):
a half five hour blocks, depending on good it's better
or not. He's not a huge crier, which is amazing.
He's a he's a really easy going baby. That's awesome.
And any significance to the name Zane Walker, so Zane
was uh Sharona's choice as we were trying to come
up with names. Walker was my choice. Um, I'm not

(02:08):
gonna say because I'm I'm a Star Wars fan as
as most people know, as you can tell from the
Darth Vader helmet, um Skywalker. So um. So we went
back and forth for a little while and then I
thought about the fact that he is Sharona's first child. UM,

(02:30):
so I was like, you know what, let's go with Zane, Like,
let's let's do what you know, let's uh, let's give
you that the name Zane Walker is a really cool name. So, um,
we want Zane Walker Green and I love it. He's
he's totally a Zane, much more a Zane than a Walker.
You know how it is like all of a sudden
you see your baby and then it's like, oh, this
name fits or that name fits, and you know, you

(02:53):
don't know until you until you're holding Yeah, no again,
congrats And how how Sharona don't she like a motherhood?
She's she's she's incredible, She's um, it's so it's so
nice to be uh in a relationship with someone that
is so um a fifty percent partner in life. I

(03:14):
mean she just absolutely Uh. The day that we were
released from the hospital, Um, we had premiere for Last
to Night here in l A. And she was like, oh,
you have to go to that and I was like
no, no no, no, We're just getting home from the hospital.
And she was like no, no no, no, you have to go.

(03:34):
Like the it's not even a question. And she she's
just like that. She's so supportive and loving and understanding,
and it's an amazing relationship. And she's an amazing, amazing
I mean, she's been an amazing um step mom to
my younger kids already, and so now to watch her
with Zane is she's special. She's a she's an amazing

(03:58):
one for sure. Well that's all you could ask for. Man,
I'm glad you're happy. That's cool. Brother. So oh okay,
so we got the director joining us now he just dropped.
That's alright, Alright, that's okay. I'm sure you can handle it.
So let's talk in that connection side. Yeah, that's okay.
Let's talk about your movie, Last the Night. What's the
What the premise of this one? Brian? So the premises, Um,

(04:21):
it's much more of like a psychological thriller than people
would think. It deals a lot with um mental health. Uh.
It takes place during the pandemic. A teacher who is
now teaching on Zoom has gone through a divorce. Uh.
He's separated from his daughter, not spending as much time

(04:41):
with her as he would like. Um, he's living in
a one bedroom apartment by himself. Um, he's just completely
isolated and he doesn't have people around him to give
him any sort of positive reinforcement or you know, telling
that ideas he has are insane. Um and and so
it's this guy, much like social media, just sort of

(05:03):
going down the rabbit hole of it all. It's like,
you know, I found myself on Instagram sometimes getting into
like what like why am I looking at baking cakes?
Like how did this? How did this happen? I started
that way? So he does the same thing. He spirals
completely out of control. He falls in love with one
of his students and he has this crazy idea that

(05:26):
they're gonna end up together and start a new life.
And he he hears some of the other students on
a zoom call um talking negatively about him, and it
just sort of it's the straw that broke the camel's
back for him. He just needed the final push that
was it is this based on any real life events

(05:47):
or where the inspiration come from? No? So, so Nick
the director, he came up with the idea. He lives
in Sacramento, He's from Sacramento, and he was talking to
one of the principles of a school that had been
shut down and the principle was talking about one of
the teachers wanting to start using the facilities at the school,

(06:08):
like to come and use the gym and do stuff
like that, and and he was like, Oh, you can't,
you can't do that, Like that's not that's not allowed.
And UH and Nick had this idea of within the pandemic,
like what would happen if someone that UM, people are
supposed to be able to trust a teacher, UM this
this history teacher, UH just really snaps and really loses

(06:32):
it and UH and and is spending so much time
by himself that that he doesn't have Again, he doesn't
have that support system around him, which is really important.
I mean, I think it's important for most people. Uh.
People just sometimes need someone to talk to and a friend.
And he just didn't have that at all, didn't have

(06:52):
a great relationship with his ex UM. But yeah, he
came he came up with it U from his his
connections I think with UH with knowing a principle at
a school, which which ultimately helped us anyway, because he's
almost the mayor of Sacramentos. He knows everybody, so he

(07:13):
was it was really helpful in UM finding locations and
and locking things down and getting support from the city
to do stuff. So he got he had easy access
to permits and stuff like that. That always makes it
real convenient, man, And that's that's cool. Get to see
you in that light a little darker, YEA, yeah, you should.
You should check it out if you get a chance.
Because the title, the title is a little misleading. It's

(07:36):
a little um it it reads as more of a thriller,
and it's it's not it's not story. It's not so
much a horror film thriller as it is a psychological thriller.
So if you go into it that way, watching the
erosion of a person, um, I think you get more
from it then if you're just going in expecting to

(07:58):
have like these jump scaremos and these things and this
guy crazy and running around screaming and that whole that
whole sun. Yeah, very cool. Um. Also in the works
a movie called Beautiful Disaster. Yeah. Can you tell you
about that? Based based on the book which I haven't read, um,

(08:18):
but probably because it's not really my type of book,
and I don't read a lot of books, to be
honest with you. They called me about that. A buddy
of mine whom who worked on nine, O, two and
O for for a while. He he started building sets
and then became an actor um and has now been

(08:41):
in tons of things. This guy, Michael Cutlets, who you
might have spoken to at some point. He uh, he
reached out where he had the director reached out to
my agent, my manager, and they set the script. And
it's a really cool it's a it's it's it's a
highybrid of a romantic comedy with also some thrilling aspects

(09:04):
to it and a bit of like a Ocean's eleven
kind of vibe to it. Takes place in Vegas, and uh,
I think it's from what I've heard, I think it's
being released next year. Nice man, Nice well on that
cool tidlea I thought, well, meanwhile, we'll be checking out
Last the Night, which is available now on iTunes, Amazon

(09:25):
