- So in his latest film, "American Underdog,"
Zachary plays Kurt Warner,
who went from working in a grocery store
to winning the super bowl.
Dreams are possible, that's amazing.
I mean, he did it with the faith and support of his family,
and they're joining us now.
Please welcome everybody, Kurt and Brenda Warner.
(audience cheers) (upbeat music)
(audience cheering)
I mean...
All right with your husband,
I mean, gosh, you're a Hall of Famer,
that's amazing.
Congratulations.
I'm just going to.
I have to ask you,
Is it a hard you're used to being in the public eye,
you know, with what you do and, but like,
you've done a bit, like you're not so like,
was that kind of hard to like put and
even your family to put all that out there?
- Right. I mean,
when they came to us in one to tell our story,
you know, I, I wouldn't go to a football movie.
I just wouldn't.
So it had to be about life.
- Wouldn't you go to yours? (giggles)
- At least once
- We'll make the kids go.
But you know, it was, I wanted the real stuff, the good,
the bad, the ugly.
So a person can relate to it.
I can't relate to holding up a trophy.
I've never won a trophy in my life,
but I can relate to a single mom. I can.
- Which you should have a trophy for that.
(audience applause)
- Well, they are the strongest people I know.
I know, you know, I was doing it when I met him.
I said, this is me.
This is all me single mom,
divorced with two kids.
I'm not playing games. So, you know
- I love that.
It's got everything in the movie.
- Yeah. And the story is so powerful,
just all the struggles.
We all go through struggles in our family
and hardships and things We kind of have to
navigate hurdles and it's a really cool
thing to let people in and be vulnerable
and let your walls down for that.
Cause it's gotta be hard.
- It is. But you hope it's worth it.
- Yeah, it's definitely worth it.
It's definitely, definitely.
- I think for me,
one of the coolest parts is that
she's got her own underdog
story and we've got a son that as an
integral role in the
movie and he's got his own underdog story.
And that to me was kind of the coolest
thing about our
journey is that everybody sees the stock
market to the super
bowl and they understand that part of it,
but they don't understand what goes into
helping you get to
that point, the inspiration that you get,
the support that you get.
So that was important to me when we
made this movie,
is that there wasn't just one hero in this
movie because I can throw a football.
It was the people that came along on the ride.
And that's what I think is really going to
impact people is they're going to go to get
that football movie and they'll
get that, but they're going to get so
much more to it. It's going to connect with
them at different levels because
of where they find themselves
in life at different. At different times.
- You guys started a special project
and it's to honor your son, Zack.
- Right? We did.
When I gave birth to my son,
I of course like every mother thought
I would have big dreams and believed for a great
future. And in an instant, he was accidentally
injured and our lives took a different
road. And when you're just working on surviving
every day, it changes everything and
life isn't easy. So when we got this platform,
it was what can we do to help others?
Because people are walking that walk right now,
or it may be your tomorrow.
So we started treasure house.
It's an adult community for adults with
intellectual disabilities and we,
- [KELLY] So cool I'm so proud of it!
- The trouble is there's a huge need and
So we've got to build more and I'm just
proud that we get to
have our son there and see what a full
life looks like for these young adults.
It's absolutely beautiful.
And I'm really proud of it.
- Yeah and I love that, and
I just noticed your tattoo.
The faith tattoo.
I just, I think it's really cool to like,
when you talked about this a little bit before they came
out, like the y'all's faith as well is so strong.
And I think that's really cool
in the movie as well. Like in each other it's spiritual.
It's just a really cool thing. But before we go,
I do have to ask this Curt, I,
I hear that you might be a fan of show tunes.
- You know, I,
I heard you guys talking before we came
out here and I had a funny feeling. Its just gonna
go like yea
- You're all welcomed.
You're welcome America!
- Here's the problem though.
Kelly is that
- You can't sing!
- That is problem number one, problem
number two is I can't ever remember lyrics.
- [KELLY] Oh me neither that's not a problem!
- Seriously?!
- Literally on SNL one time, look it up.
I was thinking breakaway. It was years ago
It was years ago and I said something about horses.
(audience erupts in laughter)
All I wanted was horses. And I literally, my mom was like,
what.
- Are you hearing that?
Because that's exactly what she does
when I start singing.
She's like, you don't know the word
and I like, I don't,
but I'm going to say something literally.
- I am literally the queen of
bloopers when it comes to lyrics.
- By the way, Spotify gives all the lyrics.
Now I'm just saying.
