Rob Riggle Shares a Great Story about His ‘Step Brothers’ “POW!!!” Scene | The Rich Eisen Show

my wife and I the other night yeah showed uh she she hadn't seen it yet so I told her like listen this is a this is a hard R movie but we showed our 13-year-old son's Step Brothers good get him get him in early you know 13 if I'm not mistaken yeah you become a man that's true yes he literally just did in the eyes of of the Lord thank you so welcome to the bigs kid you know I I I hat off and congratulations so the the uh catalino wine mix yes when um you did the scene with Adam Scot and and Will Ferrell and you you started saying pow yeah was that ad lived that was all improv that that because that was re-shoot we actually had to do a re-shoot on that scene because in the first scene uh you know they the they kind of decided oh you know Will's character is too passive we want him to be more like I'm snapping next to catch I want the mixer cuz in the he he was kind of like I you know I think I want the mixer and he was kind of passive about it so they kind of wanted to do a different take so we we ended up going back in and doing that again later on and uh so we were change the scene changed quite a bit and um improv kind of Demands you you say yes and a lot yes and you don't actually say the words but it's kind of you have an agreement and you add information is the idea right so when Adam Scott goes he's going to eat your thing like Kobe you know like like he's going to eat your he's going to eat your D you know I had to say I had to agree and add so I went like kobei you know because if I would have said if I would have said no I'm not right the SE would have ended right there you know so you that's what improv is you have to agree and add more information and then that you get good results sometimes and nobody broke up when we all did yeah I mean well the good thing was the camera was on us when we were doing it because uh but will will enjoyed it I wouldn't do it if Will didn't like it if Will was like you know enough I would have been okay no problem but he was laughing so that's I always take my queue from the Star you know if they're enjoying it and laughing and having fun or they think it's a good idea I'll keep doing it but if he was like this sucks I would have shut up instantly well I just those words uh didn't strike me as feasible on the set of of Step Brothers enough like that more usually seem to be and that's the beautiful thing you got Adam McKay who's an incredible director and improviser and comedy writer and you know all these things mixed with Will mixed with all the everybody that came there was really had all the Improv skills you could imagine and the script was really great but it also all it did is kind of invite more you wanted to play more because it was so funny here that you're like oh oh God and you wanted to add add add add and so you did and that's what happened in that movie you could probably make an entire another movie uh uh it it could be the Multiverse of Step Brothers what they left on The Cutting Room floor oh my God could you imagine I would be all in on that so I I'll ask you the question that I think is a mystery to this day were you saying po I was saying po p cuz it didn't CU we had at one point because here I was Adam's henchmen right so basically whatever Adam said I'm back in his play you know if he would have jumped out the window I would have I would have been right behind him you know like I'm I'm all in on Adam yeah so when he's you know going you mess with my nut Brennon I'm going to Da D you know I was like yeah I was want to kill Brennon I just wanted to kill him yeah because Adam did yeah or at least I sensed he did and so therefore I wanted to kill him so he was like don't mess I was like don't pass you know I was just ready to pounce on will uh so yeah so you were saying so I was saying pow pow pow pow I was just all I was doing was putting an exclamation to anything Adam said then you did the double one at the end yeah at the very end I had to give it a double P so so he really got it so it would stick and now sadly for like the last decade I've been saying pow everywhere I go and do people say it oh yeah they love it they love it like you walking in a in a in an airport I get it from across the street I get it random you know I was just out in Vegas this weekend and uh you know walking through the casino and I'm always I'm always like uh do I look yeah I'll look you know I give a look and then you know they're like catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to3 Eastern for free
