1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to I've never said this before with

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: me Tommy Deadario. I love when I talk to a

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: guest who has so many different layers, and the actor

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: you are about to hear from brings all of that

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: and more. Tanner of Buchanan joins the show today. Now

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: you may know this talented guy because he stole the

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: world's attention in his breakout role of Robbie in the

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: hit Netflix series Cobra Kai. Cobra Kai is, of course,

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: the sequel to the original the Karate Kid films, and

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: the final season, season six, is set to release later

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: this year. But next up, Tanner can be seen in

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: the romantic comedy How to Date Billy Walsh, which is

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: out right now on Amazon. So the film, it follows

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: a pair of childhood friends, Amelia and Archie. Archie has

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: always kept his love for Amelia a secret, but just

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: as he finds the courage to declare his feelings, well,

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: Amelia falls from Billy Waller, the new transfer student played

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: perfectly by Tanner. So Today, Tanner opens up about how

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: he can relate to his character about being misunderstood at

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: different moments throughout his life. We talk about how we

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: all have multiple layers that make up who we are,

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: and we can't be defined by other people's perception of us.

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: We talk about being comfortable in his own skin and

24
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: how it's still hard to get used to seeing his

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: image on a movie poster. We then dive into what

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: we can expect in the new and final season of

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: Cobra Kai that he is filming right now, and perhaps

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: the greatest lesson you will ever hear in your entire life.

29
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: We learn how you two can master a slow motion walk.

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: So let's see if today we can get Tanner to

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: say something that he has never said before. Tanner, It's

32
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: good to see you, mo man? How are you good?

33
00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: How are you?

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: It's nice seeing I am fantastic. I have to say

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: congratulations to you with this film. I watched it over

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: the weekend and it's so good. But before we dive

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: into that, I have probably one of the most burning

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: questions you will ever be asked in an interview. Are

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: you ready?

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: I'm ready?

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: How do you master a slow motion walk?

42
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: That is a good question.

43
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: I have not a clue to all, to be honest,

44
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: I feel like I kind of just walked in there

45
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: and they, I mean, the director was super honest.

46
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: He goes, Listen, most of your stuff is going to

47
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: be in slow mo. And I said, okay, and he goes,

48
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: you know, you just.

49
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: Gotta he goes, You don't really have to like play

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: it super slow mo. He goes, but make sure you

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: take your time because we want to make sure you

52
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: have all those little looks.

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: And stuff and different like the different stuff like that.

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: So I maybe played stuff a little bit slower than

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: what I'm used to because I'm a little crazy and

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 3: like to look all over the place.

57
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: And move my body a little bit more. But this

58
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: one was a little bit more subdued.

59
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you nailed it. You nailed it. I imagine

60
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: that must feel a little funny doing that in real.

61
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: Time, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Just the take about fifteen

62
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 3: percent of what you usually do off of that, and

63
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 3: then you're good.

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Well, like I said, the movie is awesome. You play

65
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: the new kid who's the popular kid. People really gravitate

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: towards him, we'll say, But what's cool about the role

67
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: is he has a lot of different layers to him.

68
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: And there's a powerful moment kind of near the end

69
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: that you give this little monologue after a date that's

70
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: just so awesome. So I'm curious to know. Are you

71
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: somebody who feels like you've been misunderstood throughout your life

72
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: or you've been judged one way based on maybe people

73
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: not really knowing the real you.

74
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like everyone can kind of relate

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: to that. You know, me personally.

76
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: You know, I grew up in a small, small town

77
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: where sports was the big thing to do and I

78
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: decided to go the opposite way and pursue dance, and

79
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: a lot of people maybe disagreed with that, but you know,

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: it's what led me to my career now. So you know,

81
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 3: I'm happy with all the decisions that I made. So yeah,

82
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: I feel like I can relate to that in a sense.

83
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: But like I said, I feel like everybody can kind

84
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: of relate to being an outlier at least at some

85
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: point in their life of what they maybe don't understand

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: yet about themselves, or or you know, really being in

87
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: school and trying to find out who they are as

88
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 3: a person and not really understanding what that's going to

89
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: look like, trying to grow up. Even now, I feel

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: like I'm constantly learning about myself on my own, and

91
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: it may be hard for people to understand what I'm

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: doing or the way that I'm taking and you know,

93
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: it's something that you have to be able to figure

94
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: out with you yourself, and I maybe do you want

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: to say it that way?

96
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. So is that a reason why you

97
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: wanted to take on this role because were layers to explore?

98
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I feel like a lot of people

99
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: they might watch the film and go, oh, he's just

100
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 3: the American that rides the motorcycle and he's supposed to

101
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: be popular, and it's like, like you said, there's that

102
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: scene that I mean, Billy really keeps everything to himself

103
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: and there's a lot going on in his family life

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: and we get a little glimpse into that obviously, but

105
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: not too much. I did a lot of work kind

106
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: of on my own and tried to come up with

107
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: different stories and what his life looked like and the

108
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: way that it was molded. I've kind of kept it

109
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: to myself, as I do many characters. But yeah, there

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: was a lot of work that went in to try

111
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: and figure out just to make sure he had those layers.

112
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 3: As he is a man of few words.

113
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: Well, that backstory is super important, So I'm sure that

114
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: was really helpful in creating the role for you. So

115
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: what makes you say yes to a certain project like

116
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: this one? I mean, you've done so many different things

117
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: throughout the course of your career already, You've seen like

118
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: you're so hard working, you put your everything into all

119
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: that you do. So why this movie?

120
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: When I was first approached about it, Bashing Charithra, I

121
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: believe were already attached. I had seen both of their

122
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: kind of acting and their careers and had followed them

123
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: a little bit and knew that they were amazing actors

124
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: and it was also an opportunity. After reading the script,

125
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: I realized how funny it was and how different it

126
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: was from maybe some of the other writing styles that

127
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: I had been in, and knew that it was just

128
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: something that I wanted to do. Also, the plus of

129
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: being able to ride a motorcycle just about the entire

130
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: movie was a big one for me as well.

131
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah was that new for you?

132
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: No, no, no no.

133
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: I grew up riding dirt bikes and have a couple

134
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: of motorcycles, so it was something that was just a

135
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: plus that I was like that, I want to ride

136
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: a motorcycle for work.

137
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: That sounds awesome.

138
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, Why not. Why not? That's sick.

139
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: Well.

140
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: Another thing I love about this movie is it really

141
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: taps into to, for lack of a better phrase, the

142
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: mean girl, mean guy culture that we live in, right

143
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: and just with phones capturing everything and people putting one

144
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: another down and all of that. It really explores that

145
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: and how certain people and how characters in the film

146
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: really deal with that. And it's so interesting to me

147
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: because I think it's something that you can see in art,

148
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure it necessarily stops the people from

149
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: doing it to do it further. So it's such a

150
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: really unique concept to me, and I love seeing it

151
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: because I hope it does. I don't know the answer

152
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: to that. I sure hope it does. But for you, obviously,

153
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: your character isn't someone in this film who really battles

154
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: much of that at all. But how do you kind

155
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: of tune out the negative in life and separate yourself

156
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: from all of that, for lack of another better term,

157
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: that chit storm that exists out there.

158
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: It is interesting.

159
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: I'm right on that cusp of no social media to

160
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: social media, so you know, I didn't really grow up

161
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: with social media like kids are now. I mean, that's

162
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: the entire that seems like what life is now, you know,

163
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: And as much as I can understand it, I don't

164
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: understand it as well as maybe I should. But I

165
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: guess for me, you know, there's always going to be negative.

166
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: It feels as though the negative is maybe a little

167
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: bit more at the forefront, because obviously it is so

168
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: accessible to everyone all over the world. But I guess

169
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: the best way to do it is to just know.

170
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: You got to ignore a lot of it, especially being

171
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: in a career where you know, I am at the

172
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 3: forefront and you know, a lot of people see what

173
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: I do and have a lot of opinions about that.

174
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 3: I just got to take it and stride and know that,

175
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: you know, I did the best that I could and

176
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: as long as I'm happy with myself and what I've

177
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: done at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

178
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: Oh well said, And I think that that mentality is

179
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: so important to have and only serves you for the better.

180
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: And another thing that the movie touches on is constant comparing,

181
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: right Like there's you know, girls in the movie comparing

182
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: their bodies to each other. There's guys trying to be cooler,

183
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: I mean, and so on and so forth. I think

184
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: that's such another important thing to shed a light on

185
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: in any way that we can. How do you not

186
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: fall into that trap right of comparison syndrome? I mean,

187
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: have you do you? It's something that I feel like

188
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: speaking off of, you know what you don't know about somebody,

189
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: And similar to the theme of this movie, you would say, Oh,

190
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about that. You don't compare

191
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: yourself to anybody. So I'm so curious what that relationship

192
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: is like.

193
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I feel like it's a natural thing

194
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: for people to go, oh, you know, I like that outfit.

195
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: I think that you know, I would love to have

196
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: that outfit, but that may be too cool for me.

197
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: Or he rides motorcycles. That sounds super cool. But ultimately,

198
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 3: if it comes down if that's not your thing, that

199
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: you know, that's okay. I definitely when I was younger,

200
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: compared myself to a lot of people, like I said,

201
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: being and especially now, like I said, with social media

202
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: and just this career, I mean, everyone's posting the best

203
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: versions of themselves or you're seeing the best versions of

204
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: themselves and you just have to go wait a second.

205
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 3: You know, they probably sat there and took fifty photos,

206
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: or they tried on ten outfits. Oh, they had their

207
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: makeup done. You know, everything isn't as perfect as it seems.

208
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 3: And I did used to fall into that a little bit.

209
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: But I think you just got to find where you

210
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 3: are and be comfortable in your skin. It's a really,

211
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 3: really hard thing to do, and it's a really long journey,

212
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 3: and I think it's something that I'll constantly be adjusting

213
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 3: just as the world continues to change, because it keeps

214
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: changing faster and faster and faster, and it's hard to

215
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: keep up with that. But I think ultimately everybody knows

216
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: who they are, you know, in the core of what

217
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 3: they want to do and who they want to be.

218
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 3: And I think as long as you stay comfortable and

219
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: believe in yourself, that's where you should live.

220
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: Man, you strike me as someone who's very introspective, and

221
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: that's always it's always exciting for me to talk to

222
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: somebody like that, because you know, you love what you do.

223
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: You're making shows, you're making movies. You're in this amazing

224
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: spot in your career at a very young age. You

225
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: have this amazing new film that's that's out right now.

226
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: As people are listening to this, yet you remain so

227
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: humble and so full of gratitude, and I think that's

228
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: something that's really going to serve you well for the

229
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: rest of your career.

230
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate it. I try to.

231
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, I feel like it's just easier to

232
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 3: try to remember you just don't get caught up in

233
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 3: it all.

234
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: You know.

235
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: I'm just lucky enough to be able to do a

236
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: career that I love, and to me, it's a job

237
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: and I just go in every day and it's one

238
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: of those things that I'm like, I kind of just

239
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 3: can't believe that I get to do this as a job,

240
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: and it just so happens that a lot of people

241
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: see it.

242
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, it's my job.

243
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: And you know, on the sets, it's not just me

244
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 3: and the actors. It's you know, the directors and the

245
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: producers and the grips and lighting and camera and the

246
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 3: pas and the ads and catering, you know, and crafty

247
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: and transpot It's like, it's not just us, it's a

248
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: crew of people, and without everybody, none of it would

249
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 3: be able to happen. So I think as long as

250
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: you remember that it's it's a job and it takes everybody.

251
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: You know, everybody's equal.

252
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: You know, there's no one that's more important than the

253
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: other other person, because without each other then, you know,

254
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: we wouldn't have stuff like the you know, stuff like

255
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 3: this movies.

256
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: It's a big team effort, that's for sure. Do you

257
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: see or kind of you know, like, oh my god,

258
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe that's me on the poster of How

259
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: to Date Billy Walsh, Like, is that feeling still present

260
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: for you even though you've been working for so long.

261
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, it's it's it's exciting, but it's one of

262
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: those weird things, you know. I don't know really how

263
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: to explain it other than it's you know, if someone

264
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 3: worked an office job and they did a presentation or

265
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: an excel sheet and then the company decides, hey, you know,

266
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: to promote our business, We're going to put your excel

267
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: sheet on this big billboard and people are going to

268
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: look at it, and you go, okay, thank you. But

269
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 3: also that's a little it's a little odd at the

270
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: same time because I don't I don't quite understand, but

271
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: I will also I appreciate that you are promoting it

272
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 3: and and't want that to happen. So it's a little

273
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: bit it's just surreal because you go, oh wait, that's me.

274
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: That's a little odd. So I don't know if it's

275
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 3: just something I'm trying to get used.

276
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: To, and I don't know if I ever will, to be.

277
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: Honest, Yeah, well that's a good thing, I think, because

278
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: it's going to keep you hungry for more and grounded

279
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: and excited to keep doing the work that you're doing.

280
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: So when people get done watching this film, what do

281
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: you hope that they take away from it?

282
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: Well, first off, I hope everyone enjoys the movie.

283
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: I hope they walk away going, oh, I really enjoyed that,

284
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: and the fact that they had just a lot of

285
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: fun watching it. I think, you know, you touched on

286
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: it a little bit. And with the whole social media

287
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: of it all, I hope everyone kind of walks away going,

288
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 3: you know, you don't know the story to everybody, because

289
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: as accessible as everybody's life is, you know, I hope

290
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: people can walk away and go, oh, you know, I

291
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: don't know what's going on in somebody's life, and you know,

292
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: I maybe shouldn't have preconceived notions about that. And if

293
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: it's somebody that you truly want to pursue to get

294
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: to know, get to know them, rather than you know,

295
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: judging a book by its cover.

296
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: Well said, Well said, And I think those are all

297
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: really important points to take away from a really fun movie.

298
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: And that's what I loved about it is it's so

299
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: much fun, but it really has these pieces of useful

300
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: information and tips that we should all remember going through

301
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: this wildlife that we're in. So I think it's a

302
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: really important movie to be dropping right now, especially because

303
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: it has appeal to everybody, no matter what walk of

304
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: life that you come from. What excites you for your future? Like,

305
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: you're such a go getter. I know, I know the

306
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: rumors about you that you show up first to set

307
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: and you're always on time and professional, and you're like

308
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: the a star when it comes to your work. And

309
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: I know you write a lot and you believe in

310
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: manifesting and all of that, so I know you take

311
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: your future very seriously, you take your job very seriously.

312
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: What's something that's surprising that you want to do in

313
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: your future?

314
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: So honestly, right now, I'm trying to get more behind

315
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: the camera, not necessarily directing, but the main thing I'm

316
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: trying to focus on is kind of the writing producing

317
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: side of things. That's something that kind of excites me

318
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: that I'm dipping my toe into right now with a

319
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: couple of different things, and ultimately kind of want to

320
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: move in that direction.

321
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: Still want to be in.

322
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: Front of the camera because it's something that I really

323
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: really love, but also be able to get to the

324
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: point where I can find stories that you know, maybe

325
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: haven't had the chance to be told that I am

326
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: able to kind of approach and say, hey, I also agree,

327
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: and I think this story should be told and try

328
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: to bring it to the forefront for people to be

329
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 3: able to see and you know, learn from.

330
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: Rock em Man. Well, I have no doubt you'll do that.

331
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: You see, when your mindset on something, you go for

332
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: it and you achieve it. So I see that coming.

333
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: I see that coming. And I've got to ask, as

334
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: a huge fan of Copra, Kai, I think you're still

335
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: in the filming of the new season?

336
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: Right?

337
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

338
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: We are?

339
00:16:59,400 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: Yes?

340
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: Cool? How's that all going?

341
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: Are you?

342
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: Are you almost done with the season?

343
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: We are? We are working you know, this season so

344
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 2: far is it's a lot. We're all working harder than

345
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: we ever have. There's a lot going into this season

346
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: and everyone's truly putting in not even one hundred and

347
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 2: ten percent, We're all putting in two hundred percent. And

348
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: I know we say it every year and it's going

349
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 2: you know, and we always like, oh, this season's going

350
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: to be bigger and badder than every season.

351
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: This season truly is going to be the biggest season

352
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 3: and there's so much to take in. It's gonna be

353
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 3: a lot, it's gonna be a crazy, wild ride, and

354
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna.

355
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: Make everybody really, really, really really happy.

356
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: Oh nice, have you been using a lot of ice packs?

357
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: Are you nursing your muscles this season? From all the

358
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: training you're doing.

359
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 3: It's it's a lot of heating pads and uh that's

360
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: assault baths.

361
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: And you know, the icing things.

362
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 3: And advil for you know, it's, uh, we're doing it.

363
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: All at all.

364
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: Tanner, as we wrap up, the name of the show is,

365
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,239
Speaker 1: I've never said this before, So I'm wondering, is there

366
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: anything that you can think of, whether it's silly or

367
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: deep or whatever might come to mind that is something

368
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: you haven't said before.

369
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: Oh boy, I've been alive for twenty five years. I'm

370
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: going back in my rips.

371
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, take a minute and whatever comes to mind.

372
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to say this, and some people might be

373
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: mad at me, but that's okay. I think that In

374
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 3: the Air Tonight by Phil Collins is not a good

375
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: song and I can't listen to it.

376
00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: And I don't know why.

377
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: It does that thing in my brain where it scratches

378
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: it in the wrong way and I can't listen to it.

379
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: So it's a trigger for you.

380
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people are going to disagree with me,

381
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 3: but it's like nails on a chalkboard for some reason.

382
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: Really, is it the instrumentals? Is it the song? Like

383
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: the message? I need a little more information.

384
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 2: I don't know.

385
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: I every time I listen to it, it like it

386
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 3: gives it Honestly, it gives me the ick, and like

387
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: there's something about it that just kind of yeah, in

388
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 3: the Air Tonight just gives me the ick for some reason,

389
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: and I just can't listen to it.

390
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: Well, now we have a problem because when I hear

391
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: that song, I'm gonna now think of you telling me

392
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: that the song gives you the ick, And now I'm

393
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: never gonna be able to enjoy the song again.

394
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: It's a glassbreaking moment. It's gonna be a glass.

395
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: Breaking that's amazing, and I will, I certainly will never

396
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 1: hear that song in the same way again. So I

397
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: appreciate you sharing that. That's Isn't it funny how we

398
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: all have certain things that we can't put our finger on.

399
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: Why but it just hits us in a weird way.

400
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just it's you and you go, I just

401
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: it's just wrong. I don't know why. It's just wrong

402
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: for me and I don't know why.

403
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Well, thank you for sharing that. Yes, I'm

404
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: sure a very controversial topic is people feel a certain

405
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: way or another about that song, but I love it.

406
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: Thank you for that problem. So enter the movie is

407
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: out now, everyone's going to be looking for something new

408
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: to stream to watch. As we close up this interview,

409
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: why should we all turn on How to Date? Billy Walsh?

410
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: I truly think it's something that everyone's going to be

411
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 3: able to relate to. You know, everyone had friends or

412
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: maybe they went to school, or you know, maybe there

413
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 3: was different clicks of you know, friend groups that they

414
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 3: hung out with or they observed. And I think it's

415
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: truly something that people can go oh, I see how

416
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 3: this is and I can relate to that. It also

417
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: is the topic of young love, and I assume that

418
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: you know, maybe not everyone, but you know, most human

419
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: beings have experienced love, especially young love, at some point

420
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: in their life, and it's something that they can look

421
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: at and go, oh, I remember that time, and I remember,

422
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: you know, going through that or feeling those things. And

423
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 3: then also it's just honestly, it's really funny and just

424
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 3: a really fun watch, and I think if people should

425
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 3: just give it a chance, and I think they'll.

426
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 2: Really enjoy it.

427
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,520
