WEBVTT - Hallmark Presents My Xmas Special With Luke Macfarlane

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:01.040
<v Speaker 1>In the industry.

0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Is there a stigma about doing Hallmark Christmas movies?

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 2>When I watch one that I like, it's got log cabin,

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:11.640
<v Speaker 2>it has to have the small town. I don't want

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>anything magical. I don't want a prince of a fake country.

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I fucking hate that immediately. Am I mad at this?

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll watch it still? Kashha, Cosha Show, Cash Show, c Show.

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.680

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>extremely excited today because we have former celebrity Tim Allen

<v Speaker 2>with us. Santa's here, Sannah, I don't want anything for

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Christmas this year. You've been very kind to me. You've

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.200
<v Speaker 2>been very generous. I have everything I could ever want.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>The only thing I'm curious about is who's on your list?

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 4>Oh Daniel, that information is top secret?

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Or Ashton Kutcher and me lacunis on your naughty list

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 2>for writing a letter to have a judge go easy

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 2>on their scientologist rapist friend? What about Elon Musk Do

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 2>people with Asperger's get a pass? Is Jim Harbar on

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>your naughty list for sign stealing? And would he be

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>able to get off the list if you were to

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 2>beat Nick Saban in the Who's a Bigger Liar Asshole

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Bowl sponsored by Couldn't cut It in the NFL.

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Be honest? In week three? You thought the Colorado hype

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 1>was real?

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 3>Didn't you?

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Were you all in on primetime? Or were idiots for

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 2>getting excited? And can elves make toes in Santa's Workshop?

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey naught your nice?

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.039
<v Speaker 1>The name chiefs? Where are you at on that?

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Also? You look like Andy Reid? Wait a minute, is expelled?

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Congressman George Santo's on your naughty list for using campaign

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>funds on OnlyFans or for wearing too many layers? Oh,

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 2>he's got a button up, a sweater and a blazer.

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 2>What about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He must be

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 2>a really good guy since he's always accepting so many gifts.

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 2>What's Hunter Biden's deal? Naked selfie's a handgun? Cocaine in

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.959
<v Speaker 2>the White House? Does being fun put you on the

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 2>naughty list? I know neither actually celebrate Christmas? But Israel Palestine?

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Who's naughty?

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 3>Who's nice?

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Be careful how you respond? Remember you're being recorded. What's

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 2>on Ukraine's wish list?

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>More? Aid from the US.

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 2>When you're flying your sleigh over North America, if you

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 2>happen to see a Chinese spy balloon, what's the move?

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>You seem like a Second Amendment guy? Could you take care.

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Of this for US?

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Can I trade every gift you would ever give my

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>two kids for the Miami Dolphins winning the Super Bowl

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 2>this year?

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you believe in ghosts?

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.679
<v Speaker 1>I knew it all right, Santa. You'll appreciate that.

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>My guest today, I spent years spreading Christmas here to

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>every household in America with Basic cable, and since starring

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 2>in a Hallmark Christmas movie automatically makes you not a celebrity,

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 2>I am not breaking the show's rich, long standing tradition.

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy Pasha.

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Now, I said I wouldn't have celebrities on my show,

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 2>but I'm making an exception for today's guest because he

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 2>starred in sixteen of my favorite Hallmark Christmas flicks.

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Please welcome Luke McFarlane. Luke, thank you so much for

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 3>having me.

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 4>When I was asked to do this, I was like,

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 4>is he really a fan of Hallmark Christmas movies? And

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 4>I got you know word that you are, in fact

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 4>a watcher of Hallmark Christmas movies.

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>If I was honest about how much I love them,

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 2>everyone would assume I'm doing a bit.

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 3>I would freak them out. Yeah, well, I don't even.

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Care if it'd freak them out, but they wouldn't take

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 2>me seriously. And I almost need you to know that

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm being honest or it's kind of meaningless. But yes,

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I've loved Hallmark movies way way before it was ever

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>fun to watch them and laugh at some of the

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>silliness of it, like and for some reason, my mom

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 2>she also loves them, and that's more on brand for

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 2>what they were doing. But my mom and we watched

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>them separately, and then we both found out that we

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 2>loved them, and now it's a thing. And my wife

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 2>when she watches them now with me, and you know,

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.919
<v Speaker 2>she's a hip, cool comedy writer, so at first she

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 2>was just kind of mocking.

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>But then you get past that part of it.

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's it's it's not an unfamiliar story the one

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.919
<v Speaker 4>you've described, and I kind of I've been doing it

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 4>for so long that I kind of saw that change too,

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 4>when they kind of came into the zeitgeist, you know,

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 4>with the drinking games and the whole thing. But when

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 4>I first started doing them, it wasn't really on people's radars.

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 4>So it's it's been interesting to watch evolution and also

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Hallmark kind of change as well. Like they are also

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 4>trying to redefine themselves in the space, and they don't

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.280
<v Speaker 4>want to be a joke and and they also want

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 4>to be popular, and they want to be accepting and

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 4>they want to be inclusive, so they're kind of going

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 4>on it.

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 3>So it's strange in this town to do anything as

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 3>long as I've done Hallmark on films.

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, and just watch watch everything change around it.

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 4>Just the people that watch them and the way they

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 4>make them and how to make a movie in fourteen days,

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:19.039
<v Speaker 4>that makes sense.

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>That's how long it takes them to make them.

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Generally speaking, I've done some that are a little longer.

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 4>A snow budget. This is a big part of the

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 4>Hallmark movies. This is how much money they're gonna spend

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 4>on snow. So if there's a bigger budget, you might

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.479
<v Speaker 4>get sixteen.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Here's what I like about them.

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Here's what when I watch one that I like, it's

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>got log cabin. It has to have the small town.

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't want anything magical. I don't want a prince

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 2>of a fake country. I fucking hate that immediately. Am

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I mad at this? I'll watch it still. I also

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:53.160
<v Speaker 2>think it's great that the woman always will choose the

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 2>small town over her great career at the end. I

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 2>always like her like, oh, I can have it both ways,

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, no, you can't just one. I wanted

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 2>to fucking stay, but anyway.

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 3>It's either me a Christmas.

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't like faith based. That gets me angry. They

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 2>do those sometimes and whatever that one uh group that

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 2>they have when.

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Calls the Heart, I get parties. Fuck, I get mad

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 3>at those.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's who, first of all, who comes up with

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the title when calls the Heart?

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Those are just words put together.

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 4>It's a complicated title. They're famous for complicated titles. I

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 4>did sense and sensibility and snowmen.

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Well that's at least cute.

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 3>No, it doesn't make any sense.

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't care. It has the word snowman. And

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy there wasn't like snow end wasn't even really a.

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Part of it.

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Are you guys competitive with each other?

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 3>Kind of? Like the more I do it like it's like,

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 3>what Times Hunt did you get?

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean Times are the only premiere on Sunday, just

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 2>two of them back to back.

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but it's leading up to Christmas. It's sort of oh,

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 4>you are out. Like the one that comes right after

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 4>Halloween kind of feels.

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Like guess when I start watching right after Halloween. Right

0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 2>after Halloween, that's when I accept it.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 4>Little early for a lot of viewers. I think they're

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 4>still kind of shaking.

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Weak of Christmas.

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm not watching them anymore, right, So the prime spot

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 4>is Thanksgiving? Uh huh, yeah, the families together. They gotta

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 4>find something everybody can watch.

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 2>So they shoot them all in the summer. They shoot

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 2>most of them in Canada, a lot of them.

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.119
<v Speaker 3>I have done one in Utah, which was lovely. Actually,

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 3>it was lovely to shoot.

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Sure you das pretty, but very very better, but you

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 2>have to wrap your head around the people.

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, they were actually wonderful.

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 2>We have no we had great I love Mormons, but

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm fascinated by them.

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>It is because it's insanity.

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 2>How many Netflix short documentaries do you have to watch

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>where you're like, no.

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Or scripted series?

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Do you know what's really impressive was the background is

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 4>always a big part of these movies, and people were like.

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I'm in a movie. I'm in a movie. They

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 3>were like silent and so obedient. Yeah, that's right. What's

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 3>the word obedience? What's what's the thing? What's the term

0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 3>from that one movie? Keeps Sweet? Keeps sweet? That's what

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 3>they always said. But anyway, are you from mom? No?

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, no, But I mean I did grow up Christian,

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>like really strong.

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I had a dad that was a pastor.

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I was born in Germany because army, no missionaries, because

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 2>they hadn't heard of the Bible over there in Germany, right, Like,

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand why my parents, who didn't speak German,

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 2>felt the need.

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 3>To go over to Germany saving souls. Right Yeah? Have

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 3>you ever experienced a Christmas miracle? Nope?

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 2>This is the first question I asked all my guests.

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you believe in ghosts? Nor your parents? Were they

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 2>supportive of your career wanting to do this?

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean we we don't come from an acting family

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 4>at all. My dad was a doctor and my mom

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 4>was a nurse, and music was a big part of

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 4>our lives. I played the cello, still do play the cello.

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 4>So like lessons and understood performance and the discipline around

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.680
<v Speaker 4>the arts. My older sister was a wonderful violinist and

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 4>she wanted to the violin at Juilliard. And I remember

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 4>when she, you know, got the Prospective's book that mailed

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 4>it to our house and I saw that they also

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.839
<v Speaker 4>had acting, and I was like, I think I.

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Could do that.

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>You're very like you were an over you're an overachieving family.

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like you're good looking and you're overachieving. You play instruments,

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 2>multiple instruments, probably I'm assuming.

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah badly, but cello is the primary instrument. But my

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 4>family also just kind of let us do whatever we

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 4>want to. They really like. That wasn't the focus. It

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 4>was like, be good, be kind, take care of people.

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 4>That's all I want for my kids. They were good.

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 3>I just wanted to be nice. I'm like, I don't

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 3>care if you ever achieve anything in life.

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to pay for my daughter. You don't

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.559
<v Speaker 4>want to pay for like when she's old, though, why

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 4>I want her to have a life. She can really

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 4>want it all the way through.

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 3>It's till death, my death. You're just gonna pay.

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>For everything, everything as long as you're just.

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 3>You're rich in my life. Okay, maybe I don't want

0:09:58.720 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 3>to sweep.

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, And to answer your quite yes rich, how

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 2>much does Juilliard cost?

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 3>I was lucky enough to get a scholarship. Most people

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 3>there get a scholarship. Do you want your daughter to

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 3>go to Juilliard too? I want her to do whatever

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 3>she wants to do. You want her to play the cello?

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 4>I would be into that. I'm gonna try the piano

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 4>to a little bit.

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Of course, you do a little bit. Got to learn

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 3>to play the piano.

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 4>Do you have a piano in the house. No, do

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.559
<v Speaker 4>you have a kids room? Just put it in the

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 4>kids room, and I guarantee you he's got a little

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 4>tiny piano in but like.

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 3>A shitty plastic one.

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Right, No, no, this is this isn't like a baby

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>grand tiny one. Looks like a little miniature John Legend.

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:34.839
<v Speaker 2>But we can't have him, do that?

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Are you serious? Okay? So like whatever, funk off? You're rich?

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 3>But that sounds very fancy. Okay, I was a gift.

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I didn't buy it. I guarantee someone legend. No, it

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 2>was not from John Legend. By the way, speaking of Juilliard,

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 2>what was your audition?

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 4>I did two monologues, one from king Lear. I did

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 4>Edmund the Bastard Son from king Lear, and I did

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 4>a Canadian and play right.

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 3>Is it anything like Save the Last Dance? I haven't

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 3>seen that.

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Are you serious?

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.439
<v Speaker 2>It's about getting into Juilliard And it doesn't hold up

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 2>really so racist because the way that she ends up,

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>she's like, I think she's a ballerina. I forget now,

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and now I'm gonna try to go from memory. But

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 2>then she meets a black guy and he teaches her

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 2>how to do hip hop hip hop and it's Julia Styles,

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 2>who is just is like the.

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 3>Not hip hop. And she's doing this audition for Julia.

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>With a chair and she's like sitting in it like

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 2>they're like, oh wow, and they're blown away. This is

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 2>the greatest dancing we've ever seen anyway.

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 4>The the you know, the the sort of precursor to

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 4>say The Last Dances is Fame when she's the Welder

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 4>and she auditions for Juilliard and and they have all

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 4>the professors there at the Juilliard thing, and I love

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 4>it because one of them's wearing her like his glasses.

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 3>And then like when she does.

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 4>Something a little too sexy, because it's they've got it

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 4>wrong because Juilliard actually doesn't have a ballet program, but

0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 4>she's kind of auditioning for ballet. And then when she

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 4>something not ballet, the one guy takes his glasses off

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 4>and he goes like he looks there. It's like very

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.559
<v Speaker 4>like he's sexualizing her. He's going to be a bad teacher.

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 3>For sure.

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Did you ever have a crush on Luke Perry? Never

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 2>did the scar in the eyebrow?

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 3>No, he wasn't. He wasn't for me. I was, you know,

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Mark Wahlberg a racist?

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Was wrong with you?

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.079
<v Speaker 2>H had a hate crime on it under his belt.

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 2>So I don't ever let people forget that.

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 3>It's totally true. Always. I always think about that. Yeah,

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, you know who didn't do that when they

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 3>were into college?

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 5>Me?

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, a lot of people. When did you come out

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:39.959
<v Speaker 2>to your parents?

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 4>My second year of college, came back for Christmas and

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 4>told them, oh, bringing us to Christmas?

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Were they were? They receptive to it?

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 4>And you know, again, you know, to my father's credit,

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 4>and I didn't learn this for some time, but you know,

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 4>it's hard, you know, when you're a kid is gay.

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 4>I think he felt like you know, did I know you?

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.760
<v Speaker 4>And did you feel safe? And all those things, but

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.559
<v Speaker 4>he never made my problem.

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 2>By the way, were your parents supportive of your cello playing?

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Because that, to me is way worse as to father,

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>because I can't imagine having to lug that thing around

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 2>to all the practices and concerts.

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, my dad played the cello too.

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you had two cello's in the truck.

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.679
<v Speaker 3>We had in the truck in the pickup truck. What

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.080
<v Speaker 3>could you fit that thing in?

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 4>Cello isn't as big as the double bass, So I'm

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 4>grateful we didn't have a double bassed family family that

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 4>plays bas.

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Is there is there a family of double bass players.

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 3>And they're probably on Instagram.

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 1>You grew up outside of Toronto.

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 3>I grew up actually in town called London, Ontario.

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 4>I did London, No, I'm yeah, it's sort of like

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 4>the Michigan state of Canada.

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I hate Toronto, I do do. I've never liked it.

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 2>My one of my least favorite Canadians. That is, I

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 2>don't know why people get into it. I'm like, this

0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 2>is shittier than Detroit.

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 4>But I will say I've filmed there in the winter

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 4>for like five years, and it just like it's like sad,

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 4>like dirty, like sidewalks with like cigarette butts, and like

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:09.440
<v Speaker 4>that's what I think of when I think.

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Of trial system. Like this city doesn't have any soul.

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 1>That's my thing.

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:13.559
<v Speaker 3>I think it does in the summer. I don't know,

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 3>when you were whatever, let them cheer for their stupid

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 3>basketball team.

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>In the industry, is there a stigma about doing Hallmark

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Christmas movies?

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 4>I will say that, you know, when I get these offers,

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 4>I asked my representation, I'm like, guys, is this and

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 4>I get like assurances from them.

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 3>They're like, no, no, not all, it doesn't hurt. Like

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 3>they're not on people's radars, and I'm like, they kind

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 3>of are.

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Now, there's a small group of you that make these

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 2>A lot of them the theater company. Do you know

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 2>these people? Do you have relationships with them? Are you

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 2>friends with them?

0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I've worked with the same female lead

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 4>more than once.

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 3>What about it?

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 2>What about that Candice Cameron? Is she does she stick

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 2>her nose up at everybody?

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 4>I I will admit that I was like nervous to

0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 4>work with her, but she could not have been more lovely.

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 3>She probably doesn't approve your lifestyle. We never talked about it.

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 3>We never talked about it. I wouldn't talk about it immediately.

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 3>She has a lot of gay friends, does she? Yes?

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 3>I hope.

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 1>So do you actually like Christmas?

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 2>And before you answer, know that this is my absolute

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 2>favorite holiday, So please answer this correctly, Luke.

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I do. I do like Christmas. I like Christmas

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 3>very much.

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 4>And I remember getting very sad after Christmas as a kid,

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 4>like when all the decorations came down and the house

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 4>felt empty and I don't.

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Know what there's about.

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Here's what bothers me about Taylor Swift. I love everything

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 2>about her, her business savvy, all of that. I think

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 2>she's a genius, the fact that but yeah, oh you

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 2>know how she used to write songs about her exes.

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.240
<v Speaker 2>If she if this one and this Travis Kelsey focks

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 2>are over, she can buy the Kansas City Chiefs and

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 2>like fucking move them to London, Canada. She wanted to

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 2>like she could do anything. That's besides the point where

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 2>she just think about that. I didn't, but now it's great.

0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 2>But uh, I wanted to say it was her song,

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 2>that one where she goes we can leave the Christmas

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 2>lights up till January.

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, that's only fucking five.

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Days after Christmas.

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 2>That's not a big deal that that line blows my mind.

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 2>But five days after Christmas is not worthy of a lyric.

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 2>We can leave, can you believe it? They left their

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Christmas lights up till January. Second, you've done some other

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 2>besides Hallmark Christmas movie. Yes, Hallmark does other holidays. Yes,

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 2>than those are garbage.

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 4>But it's part of when you're in the stable. You

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 4>got you gotta you gotta pay your dues.

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 3>You gotta do.

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>You gotta do Valentine, You gotta do Valentines.

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 3>You gotta do.

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 4>You know, the seasonality of Hallmark is really I think

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 4>I've hit all the other seasons.

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 2>The one that didn't like, I'll be honest with your

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 2>shoe at it Christmas time travel fucking stupid it. She

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 2>puts on new shoes and she time travels. Guys, if

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:56.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't she times because it's the shoe addicts Christmas.

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that one. That one made me angry.

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 4>But Jean Smart, I mean Jean Smart was in that

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't care she was. She was so good in

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:07.560
<v Speaker 4>that she really was attic is a tough word to

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 4>use in a Hallmark film.

0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Chateau Christmas loved it. You know, setting Tahoe. I live

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 2>in Tahoe, so I always get excited, even though also

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.400
<v Speaker 2>randomly George Lopez was in that one?

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:21.159
<v Speaker 3>Was he?

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he was like a delman or door.

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 2>He definitely wasn't George Lopez is in one of these

0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 2>as a hotel person. He's just like, why is he

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 2>in this Hallmark movie? And it's such a small role.

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 3>They that is the fascinating thing, Like they get some

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 3>like I worked, I've worked with some.

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Really one of those twins from the home Builders, Oh yes,

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:41.719
<v Speaker 2>in one of them.

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Didn't want that. Yeah he was acting.

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was like a big city rep or something

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 2>in one of them.

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 3>He wasn't playing like a home builder. But let's get

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:49.399
<v Speaker 3>back to Chateau.

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 1>You play the cello in that one?

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 3>I do. Oh that's exciting. It was excited. I tell you.

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 4>When I first got the script, I played the violin

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, change it to the cello please,

0:17:58.760 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 4>and they did.

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.919

<v Speaker 2>because I don't care if you fucking studied it, Julia

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:11.440
<v Speaker 2>or anyway.

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:15.679
<v Speaker 3>No actor can pull this off playing a fake instrument.

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:17.120
<v Speaker 1>No, that's not what I'm saying.

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Holding a cup of hot cocoa or coffee that's empty,

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 2>and me believing that there's something in it it. You

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.880
<v Speaker 2>your arms don't move the right way, it's too fucking light.

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.960
<v Speaker 2>You put water in it every time. It's infuriating.

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 4>Daniel weel learning. We are learning, and this this feedback

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 4>has been given a lot.

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.800

<v Speaker 2>some fucking bricks in the luggage. I can tell when

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.040
<v Speaker 2>they're hitting the curb that it's empty. It's like, just

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 2>put bricks in there and be done with it, you idiots.

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.399
<v Speaker 4>Can I tell you my first Christmas movie? I was

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:03.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, Christmas Tree Farmer and I had a pickup truck. Yeah,

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 4>And because it read I don't remember red, I don't remember.

0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 4>And this is when we filmed in Utah and it

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 4>was like again it was my first Christmas movie. I

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.160
<v Speaker 4>wasn't like it was like there's you shoot a lot

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.080
<v Speaker 4>and I remember I was coming from the hardware store,

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.399
<v Speaker 4>of course, and I just kind of loaded loosely my

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 4>ship into the back of the pickup truck.

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:24.800
<v Speaker 3>And I'm a pickup truck owner.

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:26.480

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 4>back of pickup drug It's just gonna bounce all over.

0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.399
<v Speaker 4>And I was really embarrassed when I saw that, And

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.959
<v Speaker 4>then of course someone sent me a tweet where they're like,

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:37.680
<v Speaker 4>of course, Luke.

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:41.080

<v Speaker 3>do watch them with a kind of yeah, I for

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.719

<v Speaker 2>It wasn't even my wife was barely born when I

0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 2>started watching these.

<v Speaker 3>Huh?

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Interesting?

<v Speaker 4>Higgs younger for me too. That's why he can he's

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 4>he can do things.

<v Speaker 3>Are you better looking? He's a very good looking guy.

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:21.400
<v Speaker 3>But are you better?

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:23.879
<v Speaker 4>Like, no, I'm not saying he does say to our

<v Speaker 4>he does say to our daughter, this is your handsome dad.

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:30.359
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, no, no, no handsome father, that's not true.

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Your partner is an American alpine skier.

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, he is named higg, which seems.

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Perfect for my Hallmark Christmas movie idea, Bring me some

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Higgy pudding.

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:43.680
<v Speaker 1>No, do you ski snow skiing?

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 4>I can now because of my partnership with hig He's

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:48.960
<v Speaker 4>obviously an incredible skier.

0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 3>And why do you say partnership, I don't know, because.

0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.920
<v Speaker 4>We're not married, you know, boyfriend. I guess I could

0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 4>say boyfriend. It feels different now because we're raising a

0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 4>kid together.

0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Huh. You know we'll get married one day. I don't.

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't care if I don't marry. If you want

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 1>to get to heaven, you just.

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 4>Like you better do that right before you die.

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure. I'm sure we will at some point.

0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 4>But he's an amazing skier and we've it's been crazy

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:13.919
<v Speaker 4>like for a guy that like I did not. We

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 4>had like a garbage hill in my town, like an

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 4>old garbage hill that became the ski hills. So like

0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:21.080
<v Speaker 4>I skied there and with Hick like I've skied in

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 4>like Zermatt and Shemony.

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:25.919
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever seen him take a bad spill?

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean I've seen like film or something like that.

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:30.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he was like it was famous on you know,

0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 4>like how Sports Center plays like the biggest like moments,

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.120
<v Speaker 4>and there's just one of him at a World Cup

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 4>coming down getting so pissed off and breaking his poles

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:40.520
<v Speaker 4>over his leg.

0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 3>That's kind of cool though, it was kind of cool.

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.120
<v Speaker 2>It's so crazy because anybody can stand on the top

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 2>of a hill and just lean forward and go down

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.960
<v Speaker 2>like it's absurd. However, when they say like, oh, the

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>amount of people that die, Re'm like it should be

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:54.200
<v Speaker 2>a solid tire.

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 4>Actually, it's also the ice that you know, you and

0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 4>I are used to skiing on and like you know

0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 4>Tahoe they is it's it's ice. They like hosted it's ice,

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 4>like you can hit it with a hammer. It's crazy.

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:07.600
<v Speaker 3>When did you come You came out in two thousand

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 3>and eight to the Hollywood.

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:12.280
<v Speaker 4>I had my first job in television. It was like

0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:14.160
<v Speaker 4>right after I graduated from college and I was working

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 4>on this military show.

0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you straighten up? Did you straighten up for me reason?

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 4>Do I do remember very clearly, like when I when

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.080
<v Speaker 4>I booked this show is like talking to one of

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 4>the representatives I worked with at the time, and they

0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.160
<v Speaker 4>were like, this is a really good part for you.

0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:31.680
<v Speaker 4>And the implication was and I know what that implication

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 4>military dude.

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, so you know it didn't feel so good.

0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel that that that coming out affected your career?

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I truly I don't know.

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:45.760
<v Speaker 2>You think had you not, you would have been Wolverine

0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 2>was no on The Greatest Showman. It's I'm not saying

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 2>anything about oh I know anything, Oh I know.

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:54.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm just saying I have no idea.

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 4>I have no idea, but like I can't imagine who

0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:58.959
<v Speaker 4>I would be if I hadn't.

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Here's what I think though, Back to the point when

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about if coming out kept you from

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:10.000
<v Speaker 2>some because I'm sure whether it's happened to you, it

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 2>certainly happened to others. I would be fine with as

0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of a retribution of sort that only gay people

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.680
<v Speaker 2>were allowed to be in anything like, I would be

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:23.919
<v Speaker 2>fine with that. I would be Okay, let's do this

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 2>for thirty years and then and then one invites or

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:29.959
<v Speaker 2>maybe we were allowed to have keep five straights. Now

0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:32.439
<v Speaker 2>we get to vote on it, Like I'll take Christian Bale.

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know my list walk no, fuck, he's too old.

0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Who cares?

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 2>But anyway that would that's my list, is the only

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 2>straight actor. I would be like, all right, keep him. Also,

0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 2>when some I get annoyed when people when somebody comes

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 2>out and you hear people they're like, oh, we don't

0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:55.359
<v Speaker 2>even care. Nobody cares anymore. It's like, hold on, everybody cares.

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:59.400
<v Speaker 2>It's so it's interesting, we care, we want to talk

0:23:59.440 --> 0:23:59.880
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:02.919
<v Speaker 4>I mean the big thing now is like if Luke's

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 4>allowed to play straight, should he not be allowed to

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:07.280
<v Speaker 4>play straight?

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:09.359
<v Speaker 3>Right? You know, if only gay people are allowed to

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:10.400
<v Speaker 3>play gay characters.

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.360
<v Speaker 2>But I'm I have the easiest answer for this. Yeah,

0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 2>it's just like, no, he can do it. He can

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 2>play straight. Anybody that's ever been marginalized gets to do everything. Yeah,

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:21.399
<v Speaker 2>that there's my stance.

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, I appreciate that. I don't know if I was

0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 4>ever limited. I don't know if things were ever held

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:29.960
<v Speaker 4>for me. But like you know, I mean, network testing

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:31.400
<v Speaker 4>for a television show is like a big deal.

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 3>You got all these people there.

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.919
<v Speaker 4>They're curious, they're afraid, they're you know, they're just afraid.

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:36.399
<v Speaker 3>They're afraid.

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 4>They're thing that they're spending all this money on is

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 4>not gonna make money. And there's like famous stories of

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:41.880
<v Speaker 4>things that tested really badly and did really well.

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, bros.

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:47.200
<v Speaker 4>The movie I just did it tested really really really well.

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Like I remember going to one of the screens with

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:52.960
<v Speaker 4>with Judd at the Town him saying, like, this is

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:55.240
<v Speaker 4>tested better than any movie I've ever done.

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:57.640
<v Speaker 3>I saw the movie. I paid, I paid to see

0:24:57.680 --> 0:24:58.160
<v Speaker 3>the movie.

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:00.919
<v Speaker 2>I felt like sometimes it was trying to be raunchy funny,

0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:02.959
<v Speaker 2>sometimes is trying to be heartfelt, and there was a

0:25:02.960 --> 0:25:04.640
<v Speaker 2>balance there that wasn't perfect.

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's coming from an idiot.

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah no, I mean, Billy's a really big fan of

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:10.400
<v Speaker 4>like the sort of you know, the movies from the

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 4>nineties that you got Mail the Nodding Hill, and I think,

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, his sensibility is much more of the sort

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 4>of like big open hearted rom com and you know,

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:23.840
<v Speaker 4>and Judd and Nick are like jokes, jokes are really important.

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:26.120
<v Speaker 4>So I thought it was a really successful hybrid of

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:28.159
<v Speaker 4>those two things. And I think that I think he

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:29.919
<v Speaker 4>did what he wanted to do.

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 3>Are you in the spitting on the hand scene?

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I don't know. There was a whole scene in Bros.

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 4>Where they had made a great expense. I remember the

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:42.399
<v Speaker 4>director calling me. He was like, Luke, I just want

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:46.439
<v Speaker 4>to know if we spend thirty thousand dollars making a

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:50.159
<v Speaker 4>fake butt of Billy and would you be comfortable like

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 4>eating that fake.

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:54.639
<v Speaker 1>But way more comfortable than eating real ass?

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:58.480
<v Speaker 4>And I said sure, And they made this fake button.

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 4>I did that and it never ended up in the mom.

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 3>But do you have the butt? I think Billy does?

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 3>Actually thirty thousand dollars to make that.

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:09.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's another thing I always think is bizarre. As

0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:11.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, I had a show where we would do

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:15.880
<v Speaker 2>little comedy bits. Yes, and giving notes to real actors

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 2>is impossible, so like I would only just use my

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:24.199
<v Speaker 2>writers as actors, Okay, and I would. I would never that.

0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:25.960
<v Speaker 3>So you just tell them what you want them to do.

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I'd be like, be gayer, right, and like, let's end

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:30.719
<v Speaker 2>that dumb conversation.

0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 3>You can't do that. No, I understand that.

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna be right. I get it.

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 3>That's why that's not my thing.

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:43.720
<v Speaker 2>But it was sure would cut through some conversations that

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:44.840
<v Speaker 2>are so stupid.

0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 4>It's also hard to receive a note like no actor

0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 4>is like because they just want to think what they

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.639
<v Speaker 4>just do is like great, you know, so it's about

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:52.960
<v Speaker 4>like massaging the like.

0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:57.359
<v Speaker 3>You're like that was really good. Why don't we try this?

0:26:58.000 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm always like, do you want it louder or faster?

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Those are my two.

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:04.600
<v Speaker 4>The more confident as an actor that that's generally what

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 4>I want.

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, just direct, do.

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:07.879
<v Speaker 1>You need you need it faster?

0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll do. I'll give you.

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.960
<v Speaker 4>One more faster, totally be like angry and like go

0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 4>up at the end.

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 3>I can do that.

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Play okay, Yeah, you were to Netflix Christmas Movie?

0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:19.400
<v Speaker 3>I was, Yes, was the paycheck bigger? Smaller?

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Did Hallmark say, hey, knock it off?

0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:24.760
<v Speaker 4>So I've had like sort of overall deals with them,

0:27:24.840 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 4>and in the you know, I'm going to commit to

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:31.040
<v Speaker 4>five EPs or five Christmas movies or five movies, but

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.280
<v Speaker 4>I can't work for any other network and they name

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:35.919
<v Speaker 4>all the other networks and they can't be holiday related movies.

0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:37.399
<v Speaker 4>So I was able to do that because I was

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 4>outside of my deal with them.

0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Do Hallmark Movies pay they pay you well, and your

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.760
<v Speaker 2>your rate goes up. I assume every time that's a

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 2>nice thing.

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:48.160
<v Speaker 3>It is a nice thing.

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I knew that they paid they do.

0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Are Hallmark Christmas scripts written by the same people that

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 2>write the cards?

0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 3>No, not all.

0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 4>They are actually two separate companies. Crown Media is what

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:01.200
<v Speaker 4>does it And I'm not quite sure the licensing deal

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:02.560
<v Speaker 4>is with the hull the car.

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 2>About residuals, You're doing okay on residuals with Harmmark movies.

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 4>They have to air a certain amount of time before

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 4>you start getting because, as you know, they air them

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 4>a lot. So if you end up doing one of

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 4>the ones, it kind of hits and it's popular, it

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:16.640
<v Speaker 4>gets aired more and more, so you eventually get residuals.

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 1>How about that shoe one? Is that one airing a lot?

0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:22.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I've gotten residuals for shoe Addicts Christmas.

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I one time I had my wife and go, I

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 2>want you to write a Hallmark Christmas movie and she's like,

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 2>all right, done. She went in took the meeting and

0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 2>they're like, oh, we're gonna well, really, who do you

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:35.640
<v Speaker 2>pitch you? An older Jewish woman it was really nice.

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Here's the they give us the dues and the dontes.

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm so curious about this.

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we always like we always always written caps. We

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:47.080
<v Speaker 2>like a strong female lead early to mid thirties and

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 2>she needs to have a romance. This is always are

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 2>a story our audience as women twenty five to fifty four,

0:28:55.000 --> 0:28:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and we don't like to stray from what we do.

0:28:57.440 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of if it ain't broke, don't fix it mental.

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:04.240
<v Speaker 2>We are family friendly pgg in nature. A rule of

0:29:04.280 --> 0:29:06.240
<v Speaker 2>thumb when watching our movies is you want to be

0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 2>able to watch them with your eight year old grandmother

0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 2>and your eight year old niece.

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 3>HC. Hallmark.

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I don't give a fuck about movies

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:16.400
<v Speaker 2>and mystery. Don't even tell me about your resume there

0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 2>you really do?

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Those are so stupid.

0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't want any extra drama. It's just a warm

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:24.320
<v Speaker 2>feeling when it's on in the background.

0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 4>It's hard when there's a mystery and there's a body

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 4>with no boody.

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 3>There's never blood on the body.

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Typically light romantic comedies with a heartwarming ending. All right,

0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 2>let's get to the dews want establishers at the top

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 2>of the movie to set up the city or town.

0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 2>We want lots of coverage when shooting and any inserts

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:49.600
<v Speaker 2>when necessary. Please stay away from killing off family members.

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 2>There tends to be a lot of dead father, mother,

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 2>wife husbands in our movies, and we're trying to get

0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:57.960
<v Speaker 2>away from that. How about this, no bowling? Oh, I

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't fucking note. There's a note, No oh bowling. Our

0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 2>content is not sexual in nature at all. A kiss

0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:08.120
<v Speaker 2>is enough to show the romance in our movies, and

0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:10.479
<v Speaker 2>we usually save this moment for the end when our

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 2>leads get her fairy tale ending.

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 1>By the way, you guys have broken that.

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Now they're doing kisses and act like five or six

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness, makeout sessions. Does your partner does he

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 2>prefer that you kiss women over men?

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean in an acting role.

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't think he's really bothered by either way.

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:34.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's seen me both kiss men and women

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 4>in various projects.

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a preference.

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:38.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 4>It's acting. It's like, it's not that weird, you know.

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't find it that uncomfortable. The most uncomfortable I

0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 4>ever got was right before the kissing scene, when my

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 4>female lead asked me. She's like, do you get the

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:54.680
<v Speaker 4>feeling in your tummy when you kiss a woman?

0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:57.400
<v Speaker 3>What? And I was like, yeah, what the fuck does

0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 3>that mean?

0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:02.720
<v Speaker 4>I think she was feeling anxious because I think she

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.200
<v Speaker 4>gets the feeling, and she wanted to know that I

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:05.800
<v Speaker 4>got the feeling.

0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:07.720
<v Speaker 3>He just told her to shut up. It was a

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:10.000
<v Speaker 3>little erky. It was a little uncomfortable.

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:12.840
<v Speaker 2>So I always give anybody comes to my show gifts,

0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 2>but I don't buy them anything. I just take stuff

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:18.760
<v Speaker 2>from my house and give them because I can't stand

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 2>things in my house. I don't like it, so I

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:43.280
<v Speaker 3>No?

<v Speaker 2>know how dumb I am.

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't I think you would know who is the

0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:51.720
<v Speaker 4>president during the First World War?

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 1>The First World War?

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Jefferson, Jefferson who was the president in the.

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 3>First World War, Woodrow Wilson. I would have never in

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:03.800
<v Speaker 3>a million years got that. Why you have to know that.

0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:06.160
<v Speaker 4>They they give you all the questions, so you basically

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 4>just have to memorize them.

0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Were you ever a model? No? Never, never, no never.

0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:13.520

0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, no, no, never never.

0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 4>I actually find it really hard to take pictures. It's

0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:20.479
<v Speaker 4>totally it's very different.

0:33:20.600 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I despise it still, and I won't hold a prop.

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:25.680
<v Speaker 2>They always try to get you for press photos to

0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:28.360
<v Speaker 2>hold something and I'm like, I'm not fucking putting anything

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:31.960
<v Speaker 2>in my hands because one time I did a promo

0:33:32.040 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 2>photo like this, and it's used on every review of

0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:39.640
<v Speaker 2>anything that like says like I have a new special

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 2>or something, and it's like, oh.

0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:45.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we do a lot of promo for you know,

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:48.600
<v Speaker 4>Hallmark makes like the classic movies, and they're usually holding

0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 4>an associated prop. So like for Shoe Addicts Christmas, I

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:53.240
<v Speaker 4>think Cannis was holding a shoe.

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I bet she can has had her cross front and center.

0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I think she did wear across in that movie.

0:34:00.160 --> 0:34:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh I'm sure she didn't. What's your favorite Christmas movie?

0:34:03.760 --> 0:34:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't have to be homework.

0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, everyone was saying for a long time, diehard man,

0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:09.280
<v Speaker 4>what diehards Christmas?

0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:11.120
<v Speaker 1>People are saying you're hanging out douche peg.

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:14.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but it's not. My favorite Christmas movie is Miracle

0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:17.120
<v Speaker 4>thirty fourth Street. Oh, I don't like that either.

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:18.920
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't know what are your favorite Christmas movies.

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:21.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm not an elf person, but I love I think

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Elfie is genuinely good.

0:34:23.880 --> 0:34:27.839
<v Speaker 3>And I had like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It's great.

0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:31.319
<v Speaker 3>He throws some crazy faces in that movie. He's like

0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:37.759
<v Speaker 3>the King of Like he does weird faces of that movie. Yeah,

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:39.120
<v Speaker 3>all right, all right.

0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you Luke for being on the show. I appreciate

0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:41.600
<v Speaker 1>it very much.

0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:43.480
<v Speaker 4>Pleasure, all the best. Thank you for being a fan,

0:34:43.520 --> 0:34:45.239
<v Speaker 4>and thank you for the gifts. Merry Christmas.

0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Pasha Hey, Carl Carl Hey.

0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 2>This is exactly why we can't interview actors because I

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:02.120
<v Speaker 2>have to pretend why I liked their project. And I'm

0:35:02.120 --> 0:35:04.719
<v Speaker 2>gonna be honest with you. I love Luke. I've made

0:35:04.719 --> 0:35:08.040
<v Speaker 2>that very clear. But catch me if you clause was

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:12.439
<v Speaker 2>a disaster. This is not my kind of Hallmark Christmas movie.

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:14.680
<v Speaker 2>I told him that, I told him what I don't like,

0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 2>and he led me blindly into this. First of all,

0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:20.799
<v Speaker 2>it had magic. He a spoiler alert. He's Santa Claus's son,

0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:23.640
<v Speaker 2>and he gets caught in a house where this woman

0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:26.720
<v Speaker 2>who's trying to become a reporter, but she her mom's

0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 2>a famous reporter, but she can't do it or can't

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:31.640
<v Speaker 2>hack it, and she's just not getting the opportunity. So

0:35:31.680 --> 0:35:33.360
<v Speaker 2>they say, why don't you try to dress slutier and

0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:35.280
<v Speaker 2>show your boobs and then maybe you'll get on camera.

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:38.360
<v Speaker 2>So I think that's kind of part of the plot.

0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 2>But then she's like, oh my goodness, I caught this

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:43.520
<v Speaker 2>burglar in my house. But it's Santa Claus's son and

0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:45.719
<v Speaker 2>he knows everything about everybody. They end up going to

0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:48.839
<v Speaker 2>some cool gay bar while the cops are chasing them

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and there's kidnapping because there is a real Santa burglar

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:56.800
<v Speaker 2>on the loose. It's just nonsense. It's not a cute town.

0:35:56.960 --> 0:35:59.320
<v Speaker 2>The town's garbage. If you ask me, I want a

0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:02.120
<v Speaker 2>quaint town. I want a cute story. The end, this

0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 2>story was complicated. I had no idea what was going on,

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:09.279
<v Speaker 2>and my mom hated it. But that I said I

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 2>loved Luke. I loved Luke. Great job, Luke, and thank

0:36:14.760 --> 0:36:17.919
<v Speaker 2>you for being on the show. All right, what else
