<v Speaker 1>This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>with on our radio.

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. It's Memorial Day, well

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 2>almost Memorial Day. It's an exciting weekend for all of us,

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:16.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of the start of Lake season if you're from

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the Midwest like I am. Ashley though, is already doing

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 2>cool things. She's already been up to cool things. If

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 2>you watch or follow Jared and Ashley on Instagram. If

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>you don't, you should. They just got back from the

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 2>Mission Impossible premiere, which I have to imagine is a

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 2>dream come true. It's your second time, though, so is

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 2>it as cool the second time?

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Ashley?

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 3>We went to the last premiere as press, but it

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 3>doesn't really matter because it's being at the red carpet

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.480
<v Speaker 3>and being at the event that is the cool part.

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 3>And I'd say it was just as cool as time.

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Our moment with Tom this time was so sweet, so awesome.

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 3>I will say that last time it was like unbelievable

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 3>because we had such a crazy intimate conversation with him

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 3>last time and this one was in more of like

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 3>a meet and greet format, but both were amazing experiences.

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 2>The Okay, so this is your second time meeting Tom Cruise,

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>if not definitely close to the most well known actor

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 2>in our lifetime. The first time was when I'm blanking

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 2>on this.

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 3>The first time was two years ago pretty much exactly. Okay,

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 3>why at the Dead Racketing premiere, So this is the

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 3>final Reckoning But.

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 2>You didn't see the movie the first time. You just

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 2>happened to meet Tom.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, we had right, It was like last time we

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 3>got to be part of a private Q and a

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 3>session that only like a very very high up influencers

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 3>were invited to. But because one of our friends at Paramount,

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 3>she's become a friend, she was, she's one of the

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 3>publicists at Paramount knows that Jared and I have such

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 3>an organic, true passion for Tom and his movies that

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 3>she was like, if you want to come and watch, like,

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 3>we can get you guys like two seats in the

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 3>influencer era era area. And then we got to have

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of a moment with him last time

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 3>that was not supposed to happen.

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly.

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 3>I made some eye contact and I moved my way

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 3>over there like an expert fangirl, and some people weren't thrilled,

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 3>but Tom did not care that those people were in thrilled.

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 3>He had such a nice conversation with us, and this

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 3>time we knew we were going to be able to

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 3>meet him. It was a scheduled meet and greet with

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 3>some select influencers, including Dylan Efron, who I was fangirling over.

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Didn't tell him, even though I had it in my

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 3>soul to tell him that his brother is like my

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 3>hall pass, even though I don't just truly believe in

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 3>a kiss hall past. Perhaps, and then Harry Josie was there,

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 3>and then of course Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barber.

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:16.399
<v Speaker 2>The I think fans would be interested. I'm intrigued. How

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 2>do you I mean, you just mentioned that you have

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 2>a publicist friend, but how do you actually get invited

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 2>to these specific events? What does that process look like?

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, Jared and I, when we've lived in LA, we'd

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 3>have a you know, influencer events for certain movies. You know,

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 3>we'd get invited to certain screenings just because The Bachelor

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 3>and our following. And one of the things that we

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 3>got asked to do via The Bachelor, I think it

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 3>was Bachelor related. I think it was one of those

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 3>commercials that they kind of you know, they tie into

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 3>the show or tied into the commercials. We One was

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 3>a paramount movie, and through that we got connected with

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 3>the paramount's publicity. And that's how we've been able to

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 3>go to like screen premiere as a mission impossible and

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 3>have like a special top gun screening. Ah, okay, are

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 3>you wanting to come and be involved? Because we'd love that,

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 3>But you're not like so much of a you're not

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 3>a celebrity dude, and you're not a movie dude.

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like I would. I would meet Tom Cruise and

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>be so excited because I think his work is fantastic,

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.679
<v Speaker 2>But I like, honestly, I don't know if I would

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>travel outside of Denver to go do it? Like I

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 2>think that's how much excitement out of here? Yeah?

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess I understand that from you, because like

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 3>there's many actors that I wouldn't travel for pretty much

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 3>most Who is there anybody that you would travel for.

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Celebrity wise?

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:46.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.559
<v Speaker 3>Even a concert, say like go out to a concert

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 3>outside of state.

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. I think Jason isbel I would consider it

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 2>if somebody invited me to it. Nate bergatsey Uh to

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 2>see his comedy show, I would definitely consider that that's

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 2>probably I mean amos Lee, but amos Lee hasn't came

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 2>out with new music in a while, so no, Like,

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of anybody.

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 3>I only know amos Lee threw you and you having

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 3>him on your season, and the other guys I don't know.

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 2>See, Well, it's very interesting. I've never I've never been

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 2>that into it. I mean, Anthony Bourdain may his sole

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 2>rest in peace. I would have traveled across the world

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 2>toang out with him. No, but like that that would

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 2>be it. When people ask me like, who are my

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.359
<v Speaker 2>four people to have dinner with? I oftentimes have a

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 2>hard time answering it. But Tom Cruise is somebody. Tom

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Brady's obviously one that your family has traveled long and

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>far to see Tom Cruise. Is there anybody else on

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 2>that list? I remember Jared having an infatuation with Rob Thomas.

0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that's still a thing.

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh, of course it is, but like he's friends with

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:06.039
<v Speaker 3>Rob Thomas now, like they like literally casually. Rob Thomas

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:11.359
<v Speaker 3>texted Jared last week, So we still will go, you know,

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.479
<v Speaker 3>hours hours or so for Rob. And if Rob happened

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.359
<v Speaker 3>to be in Virginia and we're like, oh, we should

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 3>go to Virginia to like hang out with my parents,

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 3>and we would make the trip around that time. Yeah,

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 3>I would say I when I was a lot younger,

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 3>I would travel way further like we used to go.

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 3>My mom would take us on airplanes to American Idol

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 3>concerts because when the American Idols the season would go

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 3>on tour, we would go to at least three shows

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 3>and it was the most fun summer trips. It's like

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 3>camp Rock for my family and my friends. And then

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 3>I'll still travel for Jonas brothers. I'll go to you know,

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 3>four hours. I'll go to New York, so that's three hours.

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 3>You know in Boston's an hour and a half, and like,

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, anything that would be convenient for my friends

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 3>and I all go to and have an experience together.

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Your parents really when Charles Ling, which you haven't listened

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 2>to that episode, we just interviewed Charles, it's out. It's great.

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>His advice to me as a girl, dad was too

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean in a sense he said a lot wiser,

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 2>like say yes to their dreams and what they want.

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Your parents definitely said yes.

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.559
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, my mom.

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 3>There was one month where we went to seven Jonas

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 3>concerts in one month, and my mom was there for

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 3>all of them.

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:34.720
<v Speaker 4>We were at the age where like we could go.

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 3>She stayed at the hotel and then we would go

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 3>to the Massonsquare Garden shows. But then there were a

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 3>few like in random Ass, upstate, New York, where she'd

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 3>go to the parents' room where they'd have that to

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 3>the parent wouldn't have to have a ticket. It was

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 3>the greatest times ever.

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 4>And then so will we just tell you? And my

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 4>mom had a great time too.

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 3>My mom had such a good time, Like she's got

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 3>great memories of just traveling with us girls and like

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 3>heeing our pants in the back of the car, like

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 3>with my friends, telling stories.

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 2>I was working fish fries.

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Now, the cost of all of it, I have to say,

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, not always the most thrilling, but the memories

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 3>were worth it, all right. So should I tell you

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 3>about like our interaction with Tom Cruise now.

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want to hear it all. Just lay it

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 2>on us, tell us everything. I also want to put

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 2>in a note. I know you think the same, so

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I'll just say it for both of us. Dawson was

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>looking so good, oh thank you, so cute. It was

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 2>an incredible viewing experience to see Dawson in that light. So, yes,

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:40.959
<v Speaker 2>let us know everything.

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, okay, so let me just briefly tell you about

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 3>the last time because he was It was just so

0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.080
<v Speaker 3>funny because last time, when the publicist was trying to

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 3>take Tom away from us, and Jared and I were

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 3>explaining that Jerry maguire was a movie that I heard

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Jared quoting the first day that I ever met him,

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 3>and it wasn't just like you had me at hello,

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 3>or like show me the money, like he was doing

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 3>deep cuts and it being one of my favorite movies

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 3>and Jerry McGuire having the personality of somebody like just

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 3>like that I've I'm so drawn to. I feel like

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Jared is probably closest to Jerry McGuire of all of

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Tom Cruise's characters. And when I heard Jared quote that

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 3>movie like the first day that we ever met, I

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 3>was like, I.

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 4>Am so screwed.

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 3>And then we ended up reciting that scene at our wedding,

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 3>which you may remember, like yes, during the service at

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 3>the church, the actual ceremony, remember that we had a

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 3>reading from Jerry maguire. So the first time we told

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Tom about that and he was very touch and he

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 3>was like, this is why I make movies, to inspire

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 3>this kind of romance. And it was just like so

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 3>many things he said. He was like, the world needs

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 3>more people like you. And we're like, what, I know,

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 3>it's so great and so it was truly just one

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 3>of the most mind boggling memories of our whole lives. Anyway.

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 4>So then fast forward to this.

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 3>We knew that, like, we could never beat that moment,

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 3>but we wanted to bring Dawson because Dawson is a

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 3>fan of Top Gun. He watches Top Gun Maverick often.

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 3>He cannot watch any of the other movies. We have

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 3>shown him clips from censored clips from Jerry Maguire and

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 3>he thinks, show me the money and help me. Help

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 3>you are absolutely hilarious. And you know, we have a

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 3>picture of him with Tom Brady on his first birthday.

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 3>We're like, you know, it's our second time meeting him.

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 3>Let's see if we can get him to come to

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 3>the meet and greet with us. And he did and

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.079
<v Speaker 3>it was so sweet. We told Tom that are that

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Hayden's middle name is Cruse after him, and he was

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 3>very touched by that. And then he showed Dawson his stomach.

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 2>You don't think that's creep Wait, let me pause you there.

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 3>Like, well, Dawson's middle name is Brady. Okay, so Dawson

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 3>is ready.

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 2>And I mean I personally hear that. I mean I

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 2>like it because, like it's a good name. But like

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 2>if I heard somebody say that to me, like, I

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I'd be touched. I think I'd be like,

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 2>you really are obsessed with me.

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 3>I think that Tom Cruise is like such an entity

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 3>that like it doesn't really face him. Now, if you

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 3>were to tell Amos Lee that you named Winnie's middle

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 3>name Amos, like, maybe that would No, he would still

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 3>love it. I think he's I think basically you would

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 3>think you'd be obviously you and I would be freaked

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 3>out if somebody said, like, I'm named her middle name Ashley,

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 3>ourr middle named Higgins.

0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>And sure we'd be like.

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 4>What that's it's so crazy, that's so awesome and what

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 4>this seems to make so well, it's a little more sense.

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 3>It's absolutely but it's proof that like we're like we

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:11.359
<v Speaker 3>are invested.

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 4>So he showed Dawson the stunt. He was like, see

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 4>how I'm out here on the wing.

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 3>He's like, you like planes, I'm out here on the

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 3>wing here, and I need to get into the cockpit

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 3>right here.

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>It is very cute.

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, I could go on an on and I suppose,

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 3>but that was our meet and greet, and then my

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 3>sister picked up Dawson before Jared and I headed to

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 3>the movie, which is great and you should definitely go

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 3>see it. In the plane stunt, which has been teased

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 3>for about three years now really lives up. It is

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 3>the craziest stunt you'll ever see ever. I can't even

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.200
<v Speaker 3>imagine a stunt like He's just a He is a

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 3>stunt man, like there's He's probably the most impressive stunt

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 3>man there is now.

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 2>One of our producers had a question of how does

0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Tom Cruise smell? That's not a question I would ask,

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 2>but I'm laying it on our producer because it was

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 2>a question asked out of curiosity. So give us your take.

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess, let's answer in a few ways. How does

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.679
<v Speaker 2>he smell? Is he as handsome in person as you imagine?

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I look at the picture and I would never have

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>taken the picture Tom Cruise did because Jared's looking so

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 2>handsome that it almost overshadows Tom Cruise, which I feel

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.959
<v Speaker 2>like is is something that should should never happen. But

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, goodness, Jared can't help it that he's beautiful.

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, Jared also has like a similarity. There's something there.

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 3>I can't put my finger on what it is. It

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.320
<v Speaker 3>might even be their voice or their cadence, but there's

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 3>something very Tom Cruisey about Jared and I get messages

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.320
<v Speaker 3>about this all the time. Whenever we talk about Tom

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.080
<v Speaker 3>Cruise on Instagram, people are like, you do know that

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Jared is like him? And I was like, yes, all right,

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 3>so we don't know what he smells like because I didn't.

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.439
<v Speaker 4>I did not. I didn't smell a smell.

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay that I would have stood out if he had

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.079
<v Speaker 3>a potent clone, but it was not there. He just

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.679
<v Speaker 3>smells like a human, which doesn't really smell. And I

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 3>will give you a fill in for the fact that

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what he spells like. He does not

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 3>come across as short as everybody thinks that he would.

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's always like, is he as short as he as

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 3>he seems? Or you know, he's notoriously like five six.

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know whether he has lifts in his shoes,

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 3>which he very very may well have, but both times

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 3>he's never come across to me as a short man. Average,

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 3>a little bit below average, but nothing to be like,

0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Holy moly, what a short guy.

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 4>In my heels. He's like just right there with me.

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I have always heard Tom Cruise is very short. Now,

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 2>to summarize this whole experience, this's your second time. There's

0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 2>no more mission impossibles. Would you do it again? If

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 2>you got the invite? Would you and Jared take a

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 2>night out and go see Tom Cruise?

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh, we will will be there whenever they callful and

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 3>oh my gosh, we're already telling Dawson that when Top

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Gun three comes out, he will be at the premiere.

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 2>This is beautiful, Ashley, beautiful Ben things.

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm a psycho, Ben, what are you doing this weekend?

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I do think you're a psycho. I don't get it.

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>I always have with this stuff. I've always thought that

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.000
<v Speaker 2>your fangirl dumb is something I cannot wrap my head around.

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 2>And I know, but I've also told you that I

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 2>think I'm on the outside looking in with this because

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>I know since you talked about I know so many

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.320
<v Speaker 2>people who are like, I mean, the Taylor Swift craze

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 2>really show me. People love this stuff and they love

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 2>the fall. These people they'll fly across the US the

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 2>world to see these tours.

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Now look at that those people for Taylor, well they'll

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 3>travel to France to sit in the nose blades.

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 2>No, That's what I'm saying. I I do think I'm

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm not right. I'm not like claiming that I'm I

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 2>have the superior like world. I just don't get it.

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>But it's great and I'm so happy that you guys

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 2>had this evening together. And I'm so you know what else, Ashley,

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 2>what makes this even more when I say beautiful, it

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 2>is beautiful, is that you found a Jared who also

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 2>is down for this stuff.

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know, like I found a man who cannot

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 3>wait to go see the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 3>this summer.

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 4>Who would have says that guy wants to do that.

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Nobody says that it's beautiful.

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 4>All right, Ben, what are you doing this weekend?

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:44.760

<v Speaker 2>Jared to is.

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 4>He's not good climbing. The man he would love.

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 2>To do he would have said yes to Tom Cruise.

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 2>If I was Tom Cruise, he would say, Okay, so

0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 2>here's what we're doing, and you're gonna hear more about

0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:01.400

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 2>one that knows everybody that's going, and most people probably

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.960
<v Speaker 2>will know four to five other people in this huge group.

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.239

<v Speaker 3>Well, that's quite a crew. Jared's definitely gonna have fomo.

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry you're going to Virginia. We haven't been there

0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 3>since March not that doesn't actually sound very long, but.

0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Less than too much.

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 4>We got a lot going on on our plate.

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.359
