8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: with Blades of Glory, our favorite film. You and Will

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: Ferrell actually had you had to learn? Didn't you to

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 2: ice skate? This is this is I know why you're

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: partnering with SEEKH Career Advice. It's about learning new skills,

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: taking advantage of skills. What did you have to learn

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: for that film?

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 3: I had to learn how to ice skate. I had

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 3: to learn how to not to keep up with Will

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: because that guy's powerhouse. Or when it comes to comedy,

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: I think we kind of joked him and I because

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: when we first met, we were on the ice. It

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: was on the ice when we first met to start training,

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: and I felt completely you know, intimidated by this comedy giant,

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: and yet he was completely intimidated by the ice, and

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 3: I took to the ice pretty well. So we're like, dude,

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 3: we're just giving and taking. It's a perfect partnership. He

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: kind of was the strong arm in the comedy. I

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: was a strong arm in the ice skating, and I

26
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: think the complicented each other pretty well.

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: Because there's a bit in the movie where you speak

28
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: fluent Japanese and this is good because you lived in Japan. Yeah, yeah,

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: you do it well.

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: Your skill set must be amazing.

31
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've you're pretty good.

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: Like to collect skills.

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: You're like a Liam Neeson character of skill collecting.

34
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I get out there, and I just

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: like he collects bodies. Yeah, collect skills.

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: But what understanding with the whole Taken franchise For someone

37
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: that is so good at this, he's always getting into

38
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: these these pickles.

39
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: People who are close to him get taken.

40
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: I have none of those skills, but my family, they're

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: all around, they're not getting taken.

42
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, that's I think what the bad

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 3: guys referred to it as getting into pickles. I think

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: that might be one of the problems. Uh, and Liam

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: Needson just won't have it. I was like, no more pickles.

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 3: I'm getting you back.

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: With Napoleon Dynamite. Your career just exploded. Well from the

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: moment you started that role. Did you see that coming?

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: I did not. I mean I really you know, when

50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: I did the film, I was still a college student

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: and still wasn't entirely sure it was going to go

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: into act into an acting career. And then you know,

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: when we made it, we certainly thought this could have

54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: an audience, but we don't know if if anybody's ever

55
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: going to see it it being independent film at all.

56
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: But after got into sun Dance and Film Vessels and

57
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: Fox Search, I bought it and everybody it started, you know,

58
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: making its way into the mainstream. We were like, we

59
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: weren't really surprised because we thought, yeah, we dig this character,

60
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: these characters, I think everybody could.

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: And I guess that's the same with Blades of Gloria.

62
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: It would have been such a big deal for you

63
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: going on to that. Was there a sense of like, well,

64
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm working with Will Farrell, this is a pretty big movie.

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: How can this not file?

66
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

67
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you know, when you do, how can

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: it file? I mean, can hang on?

69
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: I got it?

70
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: I got yeah, do you know what I mean, how

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: can this not be a success?

72
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

73
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: How could it not fail? Yeah?

74
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: That does?

75
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, how could it not failed?

76
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: For sure?

77
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: It was. Uh No. When you do, especially a big

78
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: studio film like that, you feel like there's certain guarantees

79
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: in place. Well, you've got Will Ferrell, he's a huge name.

80
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: You've got a parent, you've got dream Works behind it,

81
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: you've got Ben Siller's companies producing it. You have all

82
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: these you feel like, built in guarantees, so you know,

83
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: and you know, like and the premise itself kind of

84
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: speaks for itself. It really is a strong like two

85
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: dudes who are gonna ice skate and have to work together.

86
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: It's a love story slash buddy comedy. It's kind of

87
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: budge yourself.

88
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: It was.

89
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: It was gonna work. And the catering as well. I

90
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: guess you get to those things you go, hang on,

91
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: look at this catering. This this is the big time,

92
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: this is the next level.

93
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. Except for on that film, I had to

94
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: like lose weight, I had to exercise. I had to

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,200

96
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: all right, we got to like look good, we gotta

97
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: be Actually we had to act like Olympians, whereas you

98
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 3: know benchwarmers. I do a movie like that where I

99
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: don't have to be good at anything. Most of the

100
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 3: dorky films I do, I don't have to be good

101
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: at anything. I end up gaining fifteen pounds on set.

102

Speaker 1: But we ordered. We ordered sandwiches because our count's department

106
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: they don't understand that. We just say we need sandwiches

107
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: because we're having a zoom meeting and they seem to

108
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: accept that. So so we're carloading.
