D2: The Mighty Ducks director Sam Weisman talks mob connections, idiot PAs, lost footage (Part 1)

Mike, a slightly late Tommy, and Kevin talk with D2: The Mighty Ducks director Sam Weisman in part one of one of the best interviews the show has ever done. In this part 1, Sam talks about how the mob got him to Hollywood, Canadian porn, how a run-in with Steve Brill at a Los Angeles Kings game eventually led to his directing of D2 and the mystery of the idiot production assistant and the lost D2 footage in a rental car.

Is this line change real or part of the re-shoots?
