On this Tuesday, Dan and The 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:09.640 Dan H. Dan Patrick Show, we'll talk to the man 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:13.480 who portrayed Ralphie and Christmas story. Peter Billingsley will join us. 0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:17.720 Coming up, Brock Purty gets his first start for the 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.319 forty nine ers, and his first start is going to 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:27.080 be against Tom Brady. Here's the niners new starting quarterback. Like, 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:31.120 your first start will be against Tom Brady. Yeah, that's that. Yeah, 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.479 I think it's cool. I think it's really cool. Um, 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:39.440 they's been playing football, are that I've been alive, So yeah, 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.840 to have a first start against you know, the goat, 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.559 it's gonna be pretty cool. But it's just any other game, man. 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.720 It's gotta be efficient to do my thing and play football. 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:51.199 It's not just any other game. But you gotta take 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.600 advantage of what you have. You got a great play 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.880 caller in Kyle Shanahan, you have a good offensive line, 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.760 you have skilled position players, and you have a great defense. 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.360 Just go in and try to manage a game. You 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.319 don't have to be a hero. You're not back in 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.000 college and that'll take you a long way. But your 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.600 first matchup against Tom Brady. Tom Brady has six hundred 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:21.840 and forty touchdown passes. Brock Purty has won that of 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:26.839 the day, that of the day. Here comes the stat 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:31.720 of the day, as that of the day of the day, 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:39.480 he incomes the stat of the day. If I'm brock Purty, 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.280 I go to my press conference and I say, you know, 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.240 Tom Brady and I have combined for six hundred and 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:51.080 forty one touchdown passes in our career. I swear I 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.640 thought he was the intern. Check in the microphone, you know, 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.640 the sound quality when he was up there. And then 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.160 I realized that brock Purty, who's what twenty two years 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.920 of age, gonna be starting for the forty nine ers. 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.360 I'm gonna guess he gets carded wherever he goes. He 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.800 probably gets stopped when he goes into the building, like 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.960 I am, I'm the new starting quarterback. Yeah, all right, 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.000 all right, Jimmy Lipper, sure you are. Sunday night, it'll 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.000 be Tuah and the Dolphins in Los Angeles to battle 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.440 Justin Herbert and the Chargers. That's seven Eastern on NBC, 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.200 and Peacock will get phone calls coming up. We have 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.360 an Aaron Judge, Bet and we have an idea for 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:34.400 Baker Mayfield. Also, the transfer portal this week over a 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:40.720 thousand players, over a thousand yesterday, all from Colorado. Yeah, 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:45.840 I mean too Colorado. Ye. No, I think both Dion's 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.600 gonna have that revolving door there. It's like come on in, 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.680 you're leaving, yeah, Paul. It's kind of a unique transfer 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.920 portal because of COVID. A lot of guys got the 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.520 bonus year of eligibility, a lot took it, so there 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.840 is a kind of a backlog of players and maybe 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.720 not enough spots in college football, so a lot of 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.400 the trans reporter kids might be uh, sol you know 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:06.800 what I mean, and not have a scholarship and the 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.880 transper portal kids, yes, morv Yeah.

We hope to have 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:07.320 it around the holidays, it might be after Christmas. We 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:14.680 were actually sampling a new well a potential new moonshine 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.240 for the show yesterday. I said to the danants, I said, uh, hey, 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.839 you guys got an assignment. We're like, the show's over. 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.160 I go, all right, can you give me five minutes 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:30.800 We're going to sip on some moonshine. It'll pat our feed. Yes, 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.760 I know everybody was, even Fritzie had some of it. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.479 I did. I got a little excited there. Yeah. So 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:41.760 that's where we're we're testing out new moonshine and then 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.040 we'll let you know. But hopefully we'll be able to 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.000 do that around the holidays. We'll let you know as 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.320 soon as they're available, and they've sold out very quickly, 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.159 less than an hour the first two batches that we 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:57.000 put out. All right, phone calls coming up. Let's do 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.120 the errand Judge bets. Okay, here are the odds for 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.760 Aaron Judge's next team. They've been updating every day, but 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.520 they've been pretty consistent. There's a thirty three percent odds 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.760 chance that he goes to San Francisco Giants. Twenty six 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.600 point seven percent is the Yankees, The Dodgers are sixteen percent, 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.320 the Mets are twelve percent, the Astro of twelve percent. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.040 Then there's a bunch of teams. If I gave you this, 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:24.479 San Francisco Giants or the field, who would you take? Giants? 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:35.839 Are they not heavy favorites? Semi heavy favorite? I'm gonna 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.640 I don't know. Oh, I'm being told that Rock Purtty 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.680 and Tom Brady have combined for six hundred forty two touchdowns. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:50.160 Brock Purtty had two touchdown throws last week. No, I 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.760 screwed it up, so you can't. I can't have that 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.240 as stat of the day, Correction of the day, correction 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.359 of the day. Our buddy Matt Jenkins just corrected me 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.000 there that Rock pretty had two touchdowns. Therefore they have 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.320 combined for six hundred and forty two. Oh, would I 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:09.160 take the Giants to the field. I guess if it 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.200 was the Giants of the field, I'd take the field. 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.920 Just that seems like I got more opportunities. I don't 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.000 know if the Dodgers are involved in this um. It 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.000 just feels like it's the Yankees or the Giants. Yes, Hunter, 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.560 I think it's the Giants. I don't have any inside information. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.400 I just got this feeling. You don't have any inside 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.039 He's been there, done that as far as the pin stripes, 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.479 unless he has this major desire to spend his whole 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.720 life as a Yankee. But that's where he grew up. 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.520 I guess right, that's his favorite. Why didn't you get 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.880 some insight in for nobody cares if you'd go. I 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.719 think he's going to the Giants that I don't know anything. 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.040 I understand why he would be the Giants to be 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.279 the favorite, because he already did the Yankees thing and 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:46.920 now he wants to go home and doesn't want to 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.880 be a Yankee for life. No, I think I don't 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.320 think he wants to be a Giant, now the team 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.040 he grew up with. All right, thank you to welcome. Yeah, 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.240 wouldn't it be great for baseball if he joined the 0:06:55.279 --> 0:07:00.479 Mets just for the storyline. There are eleven sent chance 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:07.320 I think, just because they spend like their nuts. That'd 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.400 be just good for baseballs to have him go cross that. 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.080 Yeah again, justin Verlander, he launched to Grom. The Yankees 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.720 don't have him. Could let's be cool, like remember when 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.880 everyone was going to the nets? Nope, no, I don't 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.880 think anybody went to the nets. Nothing. There's never nothing. 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.200 This whole idea that the Mets are going to be 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.640 good and popular, it never happens. What does not exist, 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.240 It always feels good. It's like the Jets, like you go, 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.160 here's the Jets. Here they come, and then they're still 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.440 the same old Jets. I'll take it right in reyz 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.120 over over Jeter a ron better left side of the endfield. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.400 Shut up. Yeah. Yeah. The California Angels, I still call 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.960 him California Angels, the Los Angeles Angels. They have Votani 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.280 and Trout and they can't. I don't know if they 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.480 can compete public sentiment with the Dodgers. No, no, they 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.400 have the most world famous player and the best player. Yeah, 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.160 and they and even that, but they have no hist 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.680 The Dodgers have history, they have tradition, they win, right. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:09.280 The Angels are curiosity. But what I want Aaron Judge 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.040 second half of his career for what he's going to 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:16.080 make the answers. Now, if you're the Yankees, it feels 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.240 like you need to keep him. Can the you know, 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.160 the Giants spend that money and now you have a 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.960 face for the franchise. I certainly understand that. But you 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.320 know he's gonna be thirty one years of age, and 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.440 if you didn't think that he was going to be 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.560 this great, now you think he's going to continue to 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.360 be great because the Yankees could assigned him and got 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.439 him at what would be considered a bargain, but they didn't. 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.360 What is it that they saw or didn't see where 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:46.280 they go? I don't know. Let's just let this play out. Yeah, 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.280 pull the one thing that bothers him about Aaron Judge. 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:53.240 He's had two monster seasons and four good seasons and 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.520 you're gonna pay full boat for that. Yeah. His first 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.880 year was gigantic. Then he meandered around twenty seven home 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.000 runs twenty seven home runs nine He was injured that season, 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.960 but a year ago he two eighty seven with thirty 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:10.280 nine home runs, which is very good. Great, Yeah, but 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:14.240 then this year he went ballistic. Yeah. But if you're 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.040 gonna say, is he gonna be more like this year 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.960 or last year or the year before that? As you 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.120 get older, somebody of that size, you know, those holes 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.680 in your swing get a little bit bigger because you 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.240 don't your bat speed slows down. But he had a 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.000 wonderful year, great year, one of the great years that 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:38.000 we've ever seen. Is that worth giving him three hundred 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.679 and fifty million dollars? You're already overpaying for Giancarlos Stanton, 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:47.880 Garrett Cole. I mean you know they that Giancarlos Stanton contract. 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.240 Good God. First of all, I couldn't understand the Marlins 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.400 giving it to him, and then you've found somebody to 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.679 take him off your hands, and I'm like, God, that 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.559 that's the worst move in the best to move by 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.600 the same franchise there that they they they got rid 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.640 of him after they had signed him to that huge deal. Yeah, 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:12.199 poling the Yankees, Oh, gen Carlos Stanton thirty two million dollars, 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:20.000 a year for the next five seasons. And yeah, I 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:21.480 don't think there's a way out of it. I'm looking 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.600 at it. I think he twelve. I think they all 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:30.719 want buck fifty. A buck fifty for five seasons. Yeah, yeah, more. 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.120 But if Aaron Jets signs with the Mets, pole question, 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.400 is this a Metstown? Yes? Or no? I hate that 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.599 so much. It's a Metstown, It's a Jetstown? Yeah? Is 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.320 it a Metstown? Oh? The media just desperately wants it 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.520 to be a Mets town. Just desperate was I just 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.880 have these memories of doing the show at the ESPN 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.920 Zone in Times Square with you, Dan, Yeah, when we 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.200 were still at ESPN, and we would go there and 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.240 every everybody had to wear Mets jerseys because this was 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.440 a Mets town. Now get out of here. Uh, Dicky 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.520 in Iowa? Hi, Dickie, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan, 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.199 Thanks for taking the call. I just wanted to say 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:16.720 that I'm really enjoying the Heisman slash Oscar winner comparison, 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.680 and so as I'm listening, it reminded me of a 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:26.120 story that you've told on air before. I believe it 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:31.040 was a saving private Ryan, Yes, Oscar party, Yes, and 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.880 it seemed as though it was a slam dunk for 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.520 Best Picture winner. Yes, and I believe it was. Was 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.160 it Shakespeare in Love that one that year? Yes? And 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:48.800 the mood in the room was not what it should 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:53.880 have been. No, because Tom Hanks won for Saving Private Ryan. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.440 But we thought we could have picked whatever movie party 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.160 to go to. My wife and I because I wanted 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.240 to take her to the Academy Awards. And I said, hun, 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.200 Saving Private Ryan is supposed to win all these awards. 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.080 Do you want to go to that? Or we can 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.600 go too? And I started mentioning, and she goes, why 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.360 did love Shakespeare in Love? I said, but yeah, but 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.520 they're not winning. You know I'm winning, Gwyneth A. Pountner 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.920 are not winning. Oh my god changed filmmaking with this movie. 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.719 It's definitely I know. And the winner is Shakespeare in Love. 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.480 It's a new world. And my wife goes, can we 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.400 get into that? I go, no, no, we we got 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.360 an invitation. We have a ticket to get us in 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:40.280 Saving We went into Saving Private Ryan and it felt 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.600 like they were all coming back from war that you know, 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:49.520 they were defeated. There were casualties because nobody was having 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:54.720 a good time and then Tom Hanks had his Oscar 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.960 and everybody's like yeah, and then that was it. There 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:03.560 was no real celebrating there. So Shakespeare in Love. Yeahs bar, 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:08.520 that's probably like going to the Atlanta Falcon super Bowl party. 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:14.240 Oh yeah, let's go there, all right, Robert in La Hi, Robert, 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.800 what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan? First time, long time, 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.280 six foot three and a four ever fluctuating two hundred pounds. Yeah. 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.680 So I think I have the year that is going 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.319 to put this debate between the Heisman Trophy and the 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.360 Oscar to the to the full test. Okay, is this 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:37.640 best supporting best supporting actor? This? No, no, no, this 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:42.280 is best actor? Oh okay, all right, let me here, 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.520 So here we go. Two thousand and two Friend of 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:51.480 the Show Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer or Best Actor 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:58.800 Denzel Washington for a training day. I would say Denzel 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:03.400 for training day, although I have argued that he wasn't 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:07.440 the best actor in that movie. Yeah, po, if Carson 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.200 Palmer would have won a super Bowl with the Bengals, you, Michael, 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.520 Carson Palmer to do with that franchise, that would Yeah, 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.520 you gotta go Denzel on that one. And then his 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:23.960 uh partner in that movie. Ethan Hawk was so great 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.440 in that movie. He got overshadowed because it's Denzel, But 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:32.520 Denzel played his character was you know, limited. It was 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.000 like he was this guy, you know, Ethan Hawk had 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:41.160 to be tough guy soft, uh you know, on drugs, 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:45.280 nearly getting killed like his His range in that movie 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.040 is spectacular. And I don't even know if he got 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:52.760 nominated for he should have for Best Supporting Actor. He 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:59.280 was wonderful. Yeah, py Colin Firth Best Actor, King's Speech 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.160 or Cam Newton at Auburn one hit wonder Monster year 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.600 MVP took him to the super Bowl. I think Colin 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.240 first gonna lose that one. Yeah, I think I'd go 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.280 Cameron Newton Junior the third Yeah, yes, just to follow 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:19.840 up yah yah Best Actor. Denzel Washington won Best Supporting Actor. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:24.760 Ethan Hawk just nominated, didn't win. He was great. He 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.920 was great. I didn't like the last scene in Training 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.600 Day where he got shot by the Russians like, you know, 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:40.560 a hundred times. I wasn't big on them. They could 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.360 have killed him, but he didn't have to shoot him 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:48.120 like a hundred times. And you know, it's like, Okay, 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:54.239 come on. He'd love the movie. I love the bathtub 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:58.560 scene when he goes over there and he's playing cards. Smoke. 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.480 When Ethan Hawk is playing cards, he realized Denzel has 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.520 left him when it dawns on him. Oh oh that is. 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.400 And and you know, the one guy was really slow, 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.160 and you know he would always say these stupid things. 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.240 And then the other guy who had the shotgun, big time, 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:26.240 big time.

Peter is a producer, 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.359 co writer, actor in the movie and Uh, the top 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.919 movie on the platform since premiering on November seventeenth. You're so, 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.760 you're in two of the biggest Christmas movies of all time, 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:48.119 two of the most famous ones, Christmas Story and then ELF. Yeah, 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.560 what questions do you get asked more about Christmas Story 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:57.280 or Elf? Uh? Definitely Christmas Story. The interesting thing on ELF. 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:58.919 Um Favreau asked me to come in and do a 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:02.320 little partner and a. I didn't take credit. I just said, 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.240 let me not take credit in the role. And so 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:08.639 it's been fun to see people realize that I'm in 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:12.679 health and they make this connection and then they're like, well, 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.159 why didn't you take credit? And I said, well, it's 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:15.840 kind of more fun to see your face like this 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.200 now when you realize it. What question do you get 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:23.960 about Christmas Story? Well, I'll tell you. For me, Dan, 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.080 it's nice to be back with you because it actually, 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:29.639 I think there's our third time. Doesn't really feel like 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.119 the Christmas season for me personally until I get a 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.040 chance to talk to you. You're like the Christmas story 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.399 whisperer for me. You've pulled out a lot of a 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:43.040 lot of good stories. I think probably most is it's 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.760 more a statement, which is like people wanting me to 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:51.720 understand how much the Parker family means to them and 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:57.160 is their family. It's just like you don't understand that's 0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.960 my dad, that's my brother, that's my family, that's my life. 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:05.080 And this film is touched on such a deeply personal connection. 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.840 It's been thirty nine years, Dan since we made the movie. 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.720 But why do certain movies take on a life of 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.760 their own long after, like a slow burn Shawshank Redemption. 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.240 I mean, yeah, for sure, I mean did okay? I 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:21.399 think was Oscar Contender. But then it's just one of 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:23.879 those movies. When you turn it on Shawshank, I have 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.359 the same reaction. That's late at night and I turn on. 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.680 I'm like a damn, Now I have to finish it. 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:31.720 It's like you can't turn it at all, but you're 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:40.680 not in Shawshank. Just to let it exactly. But when 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:43.760 you go back and take us back when you first 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:47.320 audition for Ralphie. So I'll tell you a funny story 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.800 about that um which Bob Clark, the director told me about. 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:53.080 So as a kid at the time I was I 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.439 think it was around eleven years old. You get all 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:57.840 these auditions and it's kind of a circuit. You have 0:21:57.880 --> 0:21:59.600 many of them a week. You go when you read, 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:02.359 and then maybe you get a call back. So I 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.719 went to read for Bob Clark. You read your scenes, 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:10.440 and I heard nothing. About three months later, I went 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:14.679 out to do a screen test in Canada where they 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:17.600 do all this mixing and matching, and so we had 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:19.679 to read for I had to read for Flick and 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.959 Schwartz and everybody else, and they do these chemistry reads 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:26.400 and so all the kids learn their lines. And it's 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:28.920 funny because they always say to you, now, don't worry 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:30.959 if we tell you to leave early. It's not a 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:33.840 bad thing. But we know that's not what you want. 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:37.520 You want to survive to the end. And I got 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:40.080 through the end, got the part. Bob later told me 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:42.960 I was, and it's just how the schedule fell. I 0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:46.879 was the first kid he ever read, and he thought 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.800 in that moment, oh my gosh, this is Ralphie, this 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.720 is my guy. But I can't obviously hire the first 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:55.000 guy that I read. So he went on a three 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:59.040 month journey of reading and seeing kids, and it kind 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.400 of led back to me, you have to wait three 0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:05.160 months to find out that you were the right person. Sometimes, Yeah, 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:06.760 it's just sort of the way it falls. And a 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:08.359 lot of those auditions, you do them, then you figure, 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:11.440 all right, well that's gone. You know, you just sort 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:13.760 of you just sort of move on. But nobody knew 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:16.560 Dan at that time. I mean about how these things 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:19.000 take a life. This movie, you know, it took twelve 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:21.199 years to get made. Bob Clark, the director, had to 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.560 throw his salary in to get it done. Nobody wanted 0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:28.120 to do this movie. Full of voiceover said in nineteen forty, 0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:32.080 you know it was not a sexy leap off the 0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:39.280 page script. How do you act with your eyes as Ralphie? 0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:42.920 Because your eyes are so important in telling the story 0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:44.560 where you don't want to say anything, as much as 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:48.120 it felt like you were telling a story without saying anything. 0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.399 A lot of people have asked if you know, or 0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:54.159 even said, oh, those glasses, what a great idea, what 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:58.400 a great prop Look, I cannot I cannot see you now. 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:04.000 I was born with a horrible vision. I was diagnosed 0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:06.520 because I was a front row student without the front 0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.560 row student brain. The teacher said, I don't think he 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:12.600 can see because you still have the glasses from a 0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.359 Christmas story. I do. I have some of those, yeah, 0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:18.399 And I mean these are even similar. So but I 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:21.760 think one of the things I love about Ralphie is 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.200 a character, and one thing that we really pulled forward 0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:27.080 to the sequel was that he's a dreamer, you know, 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.399
