1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Nowell and Woody Podcast. Minni Jack, you obviously love traveling

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: for the film Kung Fu Panda because I saw that

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: you went to the premiere in China, even though the

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: film in China has been dubbed. Yeah, so technically you're

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: not in the movie.

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: That's true. It's true in China. I Yeah, it's a

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: different actor's voice and you don't see my face. So

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: why was I in China? And the answer is because

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: it's imbued with my essence. Even if you take it

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: out to another planet, it's still got my sauce on

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: it because a little secret when we are recording my voice,

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. They also film me, so any

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: little twitch I do might make it into the film.

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: Really, No, you're right, I shouldn't have been there.

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 2: Why am I flying to China to promote the movie?

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: They say it helps, Okay, I just what they tell me.

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: Way, I do what they tell me. It sounds like

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: it's your idea that It sounds like it sounds like

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: you wanted to go to China for a little holiday.

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: So you were like, I'm gonna go, guys.

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the cuisine. I'm not gonna lie. Weirdly, they

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: make really good Chinese food there some of the best.

23
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: Would have thought.

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: All the way through the film, there's this tension for

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: between like, you know, is he going to fight or

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: is he going to use his you know, wisdom or

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: you know, do you hold off or do you fight?

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: And it kind of made me think, like, have you

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 3: ever been in a fight before?

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: Like, have you ever been? Have you ever? Like actually laughed,

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: He's trying to laugh.

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: There was a knee reaction, and he was making.

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: A ridiculous question because obviously I've never been in a scrape.

34
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: Have you ever? Yes? I have you?

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: Really?

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: Who did you scrape? Agains?

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm about to get in a scrap? No,

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: you got to get back in the way back time. Yeah,

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: it was in the eighties. Really, what was it?

41
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: What was it over?

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: What was you know? The kid was a bullet, Let's

43
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: just say it like it was. He wanted to fight.

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: I didn't want to fight. I think maybe he had

45
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: something else going on at home. He was mad at

46
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: me for something. I didn't have anything to do with it,

47
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: and it was self defense. But then I did maybe,

48
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: like I give him some noogies on the head. They

49
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: call him.

50
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: Sorry, did you fight a child? Or were you a child?

51
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: Also? Children?

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: Of course? Sorry, I was just picturing grown Jack Flack.

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: No, I think I was a teen. I think I

54
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: was twelve.

55
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: I didn't.

56
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: It didn't suit me.

57
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: I'm a lover. It's not my thing.

58
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like violence. I'm a peaceman. I'm a

59
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: man of peace.

60
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: In the piece, you're also a man of play, Jack,

61
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: I feel like whenever I see you in interviews, whenever

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: I see your movies, I think a lot of adults

63
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: struggle to play. They lose that ability. It's something that

64
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: children do. Is there a secret to maintaining the ability

65
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: to play?

66
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: That's just all I know that my My whole world

67
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: is based around it. And if I didn't get to

68
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: be an actor or performer on stage, putting on shows,

69
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: uh and playing for a living, I don't know what

70
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: I'd do. This really saved my life. I love I

71
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: love the arts, and I support the arts for kids too,

72
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: because the.

73
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: Ones that you're beating up, I can't believe you bring

74
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: it back then.

75
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: The one time I resorted to violence, dreams.

76
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: Jack black Fodd's children, please pull that quote.

77
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: One time I viscerated a kid, horrible, horrible Back to

78
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: h Jack.

79
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: At the end of the movie, there's this wonderful message

80
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: with the chameleon and I'm a metaphor really for the

81
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: whole movie, which is the idea that you know, you

82
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: can't really change who you are on the outside if

83
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: you want to get somewhere, which is kind of what

84
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: the chameleons doing the whole time. It's like constantly changing

85
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: to achieve her goal, whereas Poe is looking to change

86
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 3: on the inside, which is like a really lovely contrast

87
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: all the way through. Is that a message that you

88
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: propagate because when I think about you, I feel like

89
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: I feel like you're kind of very true to who

90
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: you are aesthetically and what you aspire to in terms

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: of your values. But do you feel as if you've

92
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: changed a lot internally along your journey?

93
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: I changed a lot. I Mean the biggest life change

94
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: was starting a family.

95
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you've got two boys, right, Yeah.

96
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: Becoming a father, and that sense of responsibility. So even

97
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: though it may seem like I'm always like staying in

98
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: my lane and on brand, the truth is behind the scenes,

99
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: I've had huge emotional changes and great growth in my life.

100
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: But what do you know I both became dads recently

101
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: as well.

102
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: I congratuch at the same time.

103
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

104
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a massive shift for both times.

105
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: It's a big one. It becomes like the only important thing,

106
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: the most important thing, not the only important thing, but

107
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: definitely prioritizes everything.

108
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

109
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 2: I love that that message of the movie though, because

110
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: it's important for us to change, and I think it's

111
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: necessary to survive as a species. Everyone's got to be

112
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: willing to bend a little bit. Just because you're certain

113
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: you're right about something doesn't mean that you are. And

114
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: you got to keep the mind open, keep flexible.

115
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

116
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is it that that Poe says? It's never

117
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: too late to do the right thing, And it's a

118
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: great message. Got some great nuggets of wisdom throughout the movie.

119
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: Other well, this isn't so much a nugget about Poe,

120
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: but he is told that he's an easy mark in

121
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: the movie for those that don't know what a mark is,

122
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: effectively post too trusting, Yeah, too trusting of people, so

123
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: he can be easily stolen from I'm interested to ask

124
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: you are you? And easy mark?

125
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: Jack Blackhead is such an easy mark.

126
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I wrote during this interview.

127
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, every time someone tells me anything, I instantly believe it.

128
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: I never am suspicious of anyone's advice or anything. And

129
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: it's pretty I'm gullible. It's embarrassing, but I think that

130
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: is a part of why I'm able to do what

131
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: I do, is because there's a lot of humor that

132
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: comes from that kind of naivete. Some would call me stupid,

133
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: but then you know, sometimes some great comedy comes from

134
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: its hi jack.

135
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: Final thing here at the end of the movie, you

136
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: do this wonderful version of Brittany hivye Baby one more time,

137
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 3: which is an awesome, epic way to finish it. And

138
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: we were sitting there watching and what he was like, Wow,

139
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: that guy can get really high, and I think he

140
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: might be able to get as high as I can,

141
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: because he has for a very long time claimed he's

142
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 3: got the best falsetto in the game. Really, I was

143
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: just wondering whether if you I don't know, the pipes

144
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: are warm or not, whether or not you guys could

145
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 3: hit that last outro together, because I want to see, if.

146
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: You know, I just could reach that girl at three

147
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: in the morning today and go on a plane. So

148
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: usually but I'll throw it down. I consider it a

149
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: challenge for the whole human race.

150
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: So that never.

151
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: Okay, son, do this. I'm gonna go first. See if

152
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: you can go higher? Okay, And if you do go higher,

153
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: I get a chance to go even higher.

154
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: Okay. So we're gone from the I must confess bit

155
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: the atro bit that we have.

156
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: To actually sing the song. I thought we were just

157
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: singing raw notes.

158
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: Oh you want to go roll?

159
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:19,920
