Q: We were on a movie set last night and Joe, as a joke, goes “Hey man, what do you think if I just walk in the background and ruin the shot?” and we know enough to discourage that immediately. Joe: Yeah, I don’t need a camera, I just do stuff. Sal: Remember how nervous we were? Sitting in that side room at the restaurant, peeking through… A lot of times on paper, it looks like ‘Oh, this’ll get us punched.’ The first thing we ever filmed was, we had to eat off people’s plates, like we just walked over and took something. They’re much more along-for-the-ride and friendlier than we thought. And we’ve all learned the lesson that people don’t act the way people think people will. When you spend so much of your day doing that, is it difficult to then step back into normal life? We were gonna have you ski to the bottom and stop the marriage, if you could make it in time.Ī good deal of the show trades in social boundaries, and particularly with you overstepping them.
Sal: Is that where that was supposed to happened? Joe: But we already had the ski mountain booked so we decided to put the two of them (Murr and Sal) on the ski lift and just shut it down.
Murr: The wedding was the biggest secret we ever held on the show. Logistically (turns to Sal), and I apologise for bringing up what is probably a bad memory for you, but how difficult to organise was the wedding? (As a punishment for Sal, Murr legally married Sal’s sister) But you get some really good, interesting angles with the Go Pros. At the end, those’ll be the last cameras we’ll put up and we’ll talk about where we could get them. On set, our director Dave Scarborough has a bag of Go Pros. If you look at the angles we’re able to get now.
Joe: I will say that the Go Pro has changed things, now that they’re HD and we’re able to air it. But how do you get the reverse point of view? You can’t set up hidden cameras in somebody else’s house. Like, we’ve toyed around with going up and ringing people’s doorbells. You were like “What are we gonna do about this music?” and Daniel Cast (assistant director) was like “It’s our music, baby!” It’s pretty good.
Q: (to Sal) Hey, you said it at Seńor Frog’s the other day. But our crew definitely finds a way if we really want something to happen. So stuff like that we kind of have built into us. If we want to film in a nightclub, we know music’s going to be an issue, because we have to have the rights to it, and then it can’t be really loud because we have to talk over it. There’s certain things we’ll know right away. Like, if you were writing a movie and just had a million explosion scenes, you dial it back a little. Sal: You start to learn when you’re writing.
