And when I heard Jared quote that 174 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 3: movie like the first day that we ever met, I 175 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: was like, I. 176 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 4: Am so screwed. 177 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 3: And then we ended up reciting that scene at our wedding, 178 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 3: which you may remember, like yes, during the service at 179 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: the church, the actual ceremony, remember that we had a 180 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: reading from Jerry maguire. So the first time we told 181 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 3: Tom about that and he was very touch and he 182 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: was like, this is why I make movies, to inspire 183 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 3: this kind of romance. And it was just like so 184 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 3: many things he said. He was like, the world needs 185 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 3: more people like you. And we're like, what, I know, 186 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 3: it's so great and so it was truly just one 187 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 3: of the most mind boggling memories of our whole lives. Anyway. 188 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 4: So then fast forward to this. 189 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 3: We knew that, like, we could never beat that moment, 190 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 3: but we wanted to bring Dawson because Dawson is a 191 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 3: fan of Top Gun. He watches Top Gun Maverick often. 192 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 3: He cannot watch any of the other movies. We have 193 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: shown him clips from censored clips from Jerry Maguire and 194 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 3: he thinks, show me the money and help me. Help 195 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 3: you are absolutely hilarious. And you know, we have a 196 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: picture of him with Tom Brady on his first birthday. 197 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: We're like, you know, it's our second time meeting him. 198 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 3: Let's see if we can get him to come to 199 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 3: the meet and greet with us. And he did and 200 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 3: it was so sweet. We told Tom that are that 201 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: Hayden's middle name is Cruse after him, and he was 202 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 3: very touched by that. And then he showed Dawson his stomach. 203 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: You don't think that's creep Wait, let me pause you there. 204 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: Like, well, Dawson's middle name is Brady. Okay, so Dawson 205 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 3: is ready. 206 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: And I mean I personally hear that. I mean I 207 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 2: like it because, like it's a good name. But like 208 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 2: if I heard somebody say that to me, like, I 209 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 2: don't know if I'd be touched. I think I'd be like, 210 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: you really are obsessed with me. 211 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 3: I think that Tom Cruise is like such an entity 212 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 3: that like it doesn't really face him. Now, if you 213 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 3: were to tell Amos Lee that you named Winnie's middle 214 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 3: name Amos, like, maybe that would No, he would still 215 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 3: love it. I think he's I think basically you would 216 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: think you'd be obviously you and I would be freaked 217 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 3: out if somebody said, like, I'm named her middle name Ashley, 218 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 3: ourr middle named Higgins. 219 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 2: And sure we'd be like. 220 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 4: What that's it's so crazy, that's so awesome and what 221 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 4: this seems to make so well, it's a little more sense. 222 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 3: It's absolutely but it's proof that like we're like we 223 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,359 Speaker 3: are invested. 224 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 4: So he showed Dawson the stunt. He was like, see 225 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 4: how I'm out here on the wing. 226 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 3: He's like, you like planes, I'm out here on the 227 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 3: wing here, and I need to get into the cockpit 228 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: right here. 229 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 2: It is very cute. 230 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 3: Anyway, I could go on an on and I suppose, 231 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 3: but that was our meet and greet, and then my 232 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: sister picked up Dawson before Jared and I headed to 233 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 3: the movie, which is great and you should definitely go 234 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 3: see it. In the plane stunt, which has been teased 235 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 3: for about three years now really lives up. It is 236 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 3: the craziest stunt you'll ever see ever. I can't even 237 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 3: imagine a stunt like He's just a He is a 238 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 3: stunt man, like there's He's probably the most impressive stunt 239 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: man there is now. 240 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: One of our producers had a question of how does 241 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 2: Tom Cruise smell? That's not a question I would ask, 242 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 2: but I'm laying it on our producer because it was 243 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 2: a question asked out of curiosity. So give us your take. 244 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: I guess, let's answer in a few ways. How does 245 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 2: he smell? Is he as handsome in person as you imagine? 246 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: I look at the picture and I would never have 247 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: taken the picture Tom Cruise did because Jared's looking so 248 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: handsome that it almost overshadows Tom Cruise, which I feel 249 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 2: like is is something that should should never happen. But 250 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 2: I mean, goodness, Jared can't help it that he's beautiful. 251 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 3: Well, Jared also has like a similarity. There's something there. 252 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 3: I can't put my finger on what it is. It 253 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 3: might even be their voice or their cadence, but there's 254 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 3: something very Tom Cruisey about Jared and I get messages 255 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: about this all the time. Whenever we talk about Tom 256 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 3: Cruise on Instagram, people are like, you do know that 257 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: Jared is like him? And I was like, yes, all right, 258 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 3: so we don't know what he smells like because I didn't. 259 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 4: I did not. I didn't smell a smell. 260 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: Okay that I would have stood out if he had 261 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 3: a potent clone, but it was not there. He just 262 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 3: smells like a human, which doesn't really smell. And I 263 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 3: will give you a fill in for the fact that 264 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 3: I don't know what he spells like. He does not 265 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 3: come across as short as everybody thinks that he would. 266 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 3: Everybody's always like, is he as short as he as 267 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 3: he seems? Or you know, he's notoriously like five six. 268 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: I don't know whether he has lifts in his shoes, 269 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 3: which he very very may well have, but both times 270 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: he's never come across to me as a short man. Average, 271 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: a little bit below average, but nothing to be like, 272 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 3: Holy moly, what a short guy. 273 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 4: In my heels. He's like just right there with me. 274 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: Okay, I have always heard Tom Cruise is very short. Now, 275 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: to summarize this whole experience, this's your second time. There's 276 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: no more mission impossibles.
