the man, the myth, the due to us somehow aged backwards.

18
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.760
He's joining me to talk about season two of his

19
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.760
series with Tim Allen called Shifting Gears. And let me

20
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.359
tell you it is exactly the kind of warmhearted, funny,

21
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.200
family chaos show that your algorithm has been begging you

22
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.560
to watch. I'm telling you, it's like a hug. Then

23
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:40.120
later on, I've got Felicity Jones and the icon Michelle Pfeiffer,

24
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.920
and they are talking about their new holiday dramedy Oh

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.560
more talent than I know what to do with, and

27
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.079
it's all coming up on this episode.

28
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:55.920
Let's get it.

29
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.319
I am thrilled to welcome back a friend of the

30
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.000
show and honestly one of the nicest and coolest guys

31
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.719
in Hollywood. He was on I don't Know a couple

32
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:12.000
of months ago where he was discussing his film, and

33
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:16.560
now he's back to discuss season two of his series

34
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:21.479
with Tim Allen, Shifting Gears. Here he is Sean William

35
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:29.159
Scotty's football team here.

36
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:35.400
Yeah, who's Eagles or you're Eagles fan? Yeah, dude, what's

37
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:35.879
going on?

38
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.120
I don't know.

39
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.840
The last game was so confusing. I was just like,

40
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.599
I mean, and also to hear me, the fans they

41
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.000
let him have it. It was it was pretty incredible.

42
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.400
I mean, yeah, Eagle fans they're special. They don't hold back. No.

43
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.120
I mean, these are the guys that that booed Santa

44
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.520
and then threw snowballs at him because they were mad

45
00:02:58.520 --> 00:02:59.080
about the game.

46
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.879
That's awesome. What do you think? I mean, what, what's

47
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:05.360
the deal?

48
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.520
I don't know. I think Philly, you know, I think

49
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.120
we're just a different breed. It's like weird because.

50
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.960
It's the city city of brotherly love, but it's also

51
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.479
like not in and a lot when it comes to

52
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:19.159
our sports.

53
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.759
So I'm not really sure.

54
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:23.159
But what do you think of it? But I mean,

55
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.439
what's the what do you think the deal is with

56
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:24.879
the team?

57
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:31.199
Like, Oh, I don't I don't know. Uh, this year

58
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.120
is just really off. I think I'm not exactly sure

59
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.439
what what the problem.

60
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:41.000
Is or what the solution is, but something needs to change.

61
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.719
I think. Yeah, have you been following them?

62
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.919
Yeah, you know, there's quite a few like Eagle fans

63
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.560
on the TV show of Shifting Gears and so, like,

64
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.919
you know, I see them. We talk about, you know,

65
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.360
the games, you know, every time every weekend. But man, yeah,

66
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.479
like they get pissed. That's also like, but Tim Allen

67
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.319
is a huge Detroit Lions fan. It's the same thing.

68
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.159
I mean, I don't have like I, you know, love Brady,

69
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.879
but like I did, I don't have like a team.

70
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.960
And I enjoyed watching the Patriots, but like, but Tim

71
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.800
Allen is like it's definitely a love hate thing. Like

72
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.839
he fucking mad. Like like when I was like, sometimes

73
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.360
I'm really careful. I only bring it up when they

74
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.720
play well because I didn't see it. And then one

75
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.560
time I made the mistake and like I was just

76
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.360
it was a couple of weeks ago they lost, and

77
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.040
I just I just looked at him, like and he

78
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.399
was like, don't even don't even me about it.

79
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.199
What did you think of the Thanksgiving games?

80
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:44.959
You know what I didn't get to watch him is

81
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.839
it was a bummer. I was like I had it

82
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.800
all set up and I was like, okay, great, this

83
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:50.639
is you know, I had a lot more. I thought

84
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.120
it was gonna have a lot more time to watch.

85
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:53.600
They didn't seem great.

86
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.639
Wrong now, I didn't think so either.

87
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.279
My highlight was post Malone perform at the halftime show

88
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:01.879
in one of them.

89
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:03.800
Okay, that's how.

90
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:06.519
Unmemorable I think they were for me.

91
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.319
Yeah. I was kind of tracking the scores and I

92
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:10.480
was like, I'm not missing anything.

93
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.399
Yeah, Yeah, it wasn't anything crazy, which was you know,

94
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:19.319
it's Thanksgiving at least in my household, you know where

95
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.079
they've got every game on, you know, in different boxes,

96
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.079
they got multiple TV. I mean it's like, uh, and

97
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.519
then when the games are kind of disappointing.

98
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.120
It's like, oh, well, we built this whole thing around

99
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.480
this that sucks.

100
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:34.680
Playing. At the same time, I'm not just saying that,

101
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.839
but did you I remember that growing up in Minnesota

102
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.920
we did the same thing. Did you did anybody get

103
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.600
was there? I just also I remember Thanksgiving is like

104
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:48.519
there's always a fucking arguments like it was. It was

105
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:53.360
an opportunity for family members to air their grievances. It

106
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.879
was I remember one of the one of the Thanksgivings,

107
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.040
like two relatives didn't then they didn't talk for like

108
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:00.720
fifteen years afterwards. Wow.

109
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.480
Yeah, it wasn't sports related, I hope.

110
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.519
No. Okay, good, No, No, I don't think so. Yeah.

111
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:11.439
Yeah, now our family was my family was was good

112
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.199
this year. I mean, you know, we always have our

113
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:20.279
squabbles or whatever, but but no, you know, cross generational

114
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.800
trauma created than anyway this Thanksgiving.

115
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.680
Anyway, there's always Christmas.

116
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.639
You know. Yeah, exactly.

117
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.040
You still got can exactly. So speaking of the show,

118
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.000
how's it going. You're in your second season now, yeah,

119
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.000
you know, what is it like for you? You've done a

120
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.959
lot of film. We talked about your last film a

121
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.399
couple of months ago, and you know you're doing a series.

122
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.600
How big of a difference is that for you as

123
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.079
an actor?

124
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:57.160
I mean everything is different. I mean it's like, yeah,

125
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.360
you can't even Yeah, it's just like you think of

126
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.480
I means just everything really, I mean the whole process

127
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:07.040
of filming it. You know, we it's so much I

128
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.079
mean not that, I mean making films. And I've done

129
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.120
a couple of other TV shows and that was really

130
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.879
fun too. I mean every opportunity has been a blessing.

131
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:20.439
But like this is just so different. Like you know, Wednesday,

132
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.639
you get you know, you meet for a table read

133
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.439
new episode, new script. It's just like one big party,

134
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.759
one big family. Everybody's laughing, having fun. And then you

135
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.680
go and you know, you do a little rehearsing, but

136
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.959
the script's always changing. So you know, as opposed to

137
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.360
like a film or another type of show, like a

138
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:43.920
non sitcom, like you gotta be ready, you know, every day,

139
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.360
like you're in front of the camera every day, and

140
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.000
here it's like people are walking around their's sweatpants and

141
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.199
fucking hoodies and like, you know, and then because you

142
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.720
don't we pre shoot stuff on Monday, we pre you

143
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.600
shoot a little bit more stuff on Tuesday, and Tuesday

144
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.800
night is in front of a live audience. So then

145
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:02.079
it's it's like you're kind of doing a play and

146
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.160
then everybody kind of lets it rip, and you know,

147
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.519
because you get the feed off of the audience, and

148
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.839
you know, people are adding like little things, a little

149
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.480
improv and it's so fun and it's just like again

150
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:19.120
it's comedically, I mean, it's so it's so different. You know,

151
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.439
I love to improvise, and I think you can. You know,

152
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.879
you have an opportunity outside of sitcoms where you can

153
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:30.800
kind of drive the scene and like the timing and everything,

154
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:35.200
and here it's you know, you could still kind of

155
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.960
do that, but you also have to play off of

156
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.039
the audience's like laughter and time it out. You know,

157
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.799
you keep coming right in with another line so they'll

158
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.000
be drowned out by the laughter. So it's it's a

159
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.399
different type of game. It's it's a lot of fun.

160
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.480
Now you know now that you say that, it really

161
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.399
really is like live theater. I mean you're performing, you know,

162
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.240
live in front of a studio audience. Do you ever

163
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:04.080
get that excitement of like or do you feel that

164
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.960
tangible excitement of all right, we're gonna you know, go

165
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.240
out there and hammer it out enough and it is

166
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:11.720
what it is.

167
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.519
There's gonna be three hundred people there or whatever it is.

168
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.279
You know, I thought that in the beginning, because you know,

169
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.039
I was before it took on the gig. I was like,

170
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.960
I didn't know what to expect. Is like, is this

171
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:25.840
like a one shot deal? And they're like, no, man,

172
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:27.759
you get to screw up, you get I mean, you

173
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.200
can make mistakes. I'm like, oh, so it is different

174
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.279
the theater, man, because I'm sure people make mistakes, but

175
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.840
you don't get a second take or third takes. And

176
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.120
and then really quickly it was like there isn't especially

177
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.440
because there you know the people that they that are

178
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:47.080
coming to watch the live performance, they're fans, so you know,

179
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.519
they're love and the show loved him, Cat and everybody.

180
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.039
So it is it's a little bit like a party,

181
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.120
you know. It's it's really because then also we've already

182
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.000
shot everything, so we already have everything in the cans,

183
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.639
so this is just kind of like a little extra,

184
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.679
you know. So it is really fun, the energy everybody,

185
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:08.879
and it is like a small crew, and they've all

186
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:12.519
been working with Tim on his other shows and he's

187
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.399
just kept them, you know, employed, and so it's a

188
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.240
tight knit, you know family, and yeah, I get it.

189
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.600
I get it, Like why you see these sitcoms and

190
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.240
then they go for a while and then everybody's crying

191
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.200
when it ends because it's like, yeah, man, it's so

192
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.840
much fun. You get to be with these people every day,

193
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:31.720
you know, it's awesome.

194
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.559
And then do you do is it like nine months on,

195
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.120
three months off or something like that.

196
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.840
Well, I think it would be if you know, if

197
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.360
you're doing over twenty episodes, and so that's kind of changed.

198
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:48.080
Some shows are still doing that, but thirteen, right, thirteen.

199
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.159
So yeah, the sad thing is it's like, you know,

200
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:53.519
I remember we started in the beginning or middle of August,

201
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:55.399
and I was like it was immediately I was like,

202
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.120
oh man, this is so fun. And then I was like,

203
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.679
we only get to do this for like three months.

204
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.799
So that's really like, you know, we finished in a

205
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.000
couple of weeks, and if we're lucky to do a

206
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:10.519
third season, we'll be free from mid December until probably

207
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.919
August again. Okay, but yeah, it would be I think,

208
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.320
you know, obviously we'd be shooting longer if we had

209
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:18.039
more episodes.

210
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.639
Yeah. So well, and you know, it's interesting because I

211
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:26.879
now prefer the shorter seasons for things, uh, because I

212
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.960
feel like a lot of times today and maybe it

213
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:35.279
maybe my you know, mind has changed over time or whatever,

214
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.440
but like when I was a kid, everything was like

215
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.039
twenty two or twenty four episodes or whatever, and then

216
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.440
you know, there was like a it was off for

217
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.159
the summer for the most part, and then in the

218
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:50.000
fall debut at a premiere and all. But now I

219
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.159
feel like a lot of those shows had to buy

220
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:58.200
necessity kind of ad filler to get to that number.

221
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.240
I remember Lost, which is one of my favorite shows ever,

222
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.360
huge online debate about well, that was just a filler

223
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.320
episode because they had to get to twenty three or whatever,

224
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:13.240
you know, And now it seems with this more concise model,

225
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.919
it's like everyone is a hitter, you know what I'm saying.

226
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.080
Yeah, I think that makes sense. I loved Lost, by

227
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.360
the way loved it. Man, very few shows that are

228
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:29.480
coming out right that like really explode like that. Yes, yeah,

229
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.960
you're right. So if they're only doing thirteen, then it's like,

230
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.360
you're right, we don't have to crank out twenty episodes.

231
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.519
We just really focus on this thirteen and make them

232
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.320
as solid as we can. And are the writers we

233
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.360
have on this show just because they're making I mean,

234
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:49.720
very few shows in Los Angeles, I mean, and so

235
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.840
there's a lot of amazing writers that are available. So

236
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.200
we have like these you know, these people that you know,

237
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.960
they've been showrunners on huge shows that on our staff.

238
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.159
So yeah, it's like they can just kind of focus

239
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.840
on thirteen episodes. And yeah, I'm biased because I love

240
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.159
the show, but I think it's really funny.

241
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.600
It is. I think it's funny as well.

242
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.440
And what one of the things that I've always wondered is,

243
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.639
so it's renewed for season two, you're coming in at

244
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:26.279
the beginning, do you kind of get a the gist

245
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.879
of where Gabriel is going through the second season or

246
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.960
is it episode by episode?

247
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.360
Like how does that work?

248
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.559
You know? I think, you know, I think it's like

249
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.120
the second season, if you know, and shows are lucky

250
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.799
enough to do it. You had the benefit of doing

251
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.720
one season kind of starting to give sense of like

252
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.639
what's working for each actor and each character, and so

253
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.360
I think that in this season they've been able to

254
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.960
kind of like find fun more fun things from me

255
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:04.240
to do. And then but yeah, I was like, Michelle

256
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.519
Nater is our showrunner, and so she kind of shared

257
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:09.759
a little bit of you know, it's a kind of

258
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:12.919
an arc for my character. I think he's probably best

259
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.639
used to just kind of throw out some fun stuff,

260
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.240
but like so a little bit of something, you know,

261
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.480
but yeah, because it's not I mean, it's a sickcof.

262
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.399
So yeah, I don't think there's going to be too

263
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.480
much of an arc, but like, ye, but a little

264
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.360
bit they kind of tell you a.

265
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.519
Little bit well, And I wondered how much for you

266
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.759
as an actor, how much different that is from knowing like, okay,

267
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.559
a script for a film like I know, from you know,

268
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:42.480
take one where I'm starting, to the final take where

269
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.320
I'm ending, and where my character is gonna go. Do

270
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.720
you feel that difference or are you kind of like

271
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.720
loose with like, all right, I'm cool with wherever he's going.

272
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.879
You know what I mean, yeah, no, that's a great question.

273
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.240
I mean, yeah, you just accept this a completely different

274
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:03.320
thing me. You just you know, and also you know

275
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:04.799
that that was the thing at the beginning. It was like,

276
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:07.159
how am I This is going to be really challenging

277
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.440
because I always like to improvise and I like to

278
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:12.960
kind of rewrite my stuff and and you know, it's like,

279
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:14.919
you're not going to do that. I mean, although they're

280
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:19.240
they're really open to you know, ideas and stuff like that,

281
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:21.320
but it was like, no, this is different. You just

282
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.200
you know, and it helps because the writing's great, but

283
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:27.320
like you know, you just go, no, this is it.

284
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.840
And it's kind of a relief because for me before,

285
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:32.480
it's like you go in there and I've never been

286
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.960
somebody that's like, you know, if it scenems great in

287
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:37.919
a film, like it doesn't need to be tinkered with.

288
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.519
But like a lot of times it's like, okay, this

289
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:42.440
could be better and you're going in and you're thinking

290
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:44.159
about how can I improve this and how can I

291
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:46.840
improvise and what can I write here? And here it's

292
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.200
like you just don't have that stress. You're like, you know,

293
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:51.879
they've worked on us. There's like you know, you just

294
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.639
go in, do the best you can, and then you

295
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:57.159
don't have to worry too much, you know. And and

296
00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.960
again too, it's like, yeah, you know, you kind of

297
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.960
you're relieved of that, Like I don't want to improvise

298
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.879
because it's like it's not that kind of show or

299
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.639
you know, projects, So you just go in, do the

300
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.720
best you can, play with it and feel around and

301
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.879
see that there are opportunities you know, still to kind

302
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:17.519
of like play around a little bit. But but yeah,

303
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:19.240
it's just just ease, go in and have fun.

304
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.080
And and I'm sure it helps knowing that you have

305
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.200
such a you know, a great team that because you're

306
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.879
kind of, from what you're saying, kind of letting it

307
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:32.279
go and you know what they come up with is

308
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.200
you know for the most part what they come up with,

309
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.519
but you're you're trusting them that it's great content.

310
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.519
Yeah, and it really, I mean it is so funny.

311
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.840
I mean there's so many times we do the table reads.

312
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:47.039
I'm like, wow, like and it and it and it evolves.

313
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.120
That's the other thing that's really fun for this process

314
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.799
is like each day there's rewrites and they improve things

315
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.600
and they tighten things up and and also it's like,

316
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:02.000
you know, the whole cast are incredible and you know,

317
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.039
but then you got Tim and you're like, this is

318
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.279
Tim show Man. So you're just like you just come

319
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.799
along for the ride, you know. It's like and that's

320
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.480
another thing too, Like every day I'm like I'm pininger

321
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.960
with Tim Allen, fucking football with Tim Allen, I'm talking

322
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.000
movies with Tim, I'm asking him questions about Galaxy coust

323
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.119
I mean, I mean, it's it's pretty crazy. I Mean,

324
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.200
my only like, you know, worries like gosh, would be

325
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.240
such a bummer if this is it, like we only

326
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.440
do two seasons, you know. It really the other thing too,

327
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.920
it's like the schedule is so crazy that I can

328
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:38.559
take my daughter's school, go to work finishing time to

329
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:40.400
be able to go pick her up at school. I mean,

330
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.640
it just doesn't happen in Hollywood and these jobs, you know,

331
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:44.559
And so yeah, it's a dream.

332
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.440
Well and speaking of Tim, you know, I'm sure, like me,

333
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:49.920
you kind of grew up with him.

334
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:54.480
It was kind of America's dad. Were you were you

335
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:56.160
nervous that first season?

336
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.279
Like, you know, because for me, he's kind of an

337
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.519
iconic person that I've grown up with on TV and

338
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.000
from everything I've I've heard he's an amazing guy and all,

339
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.079
But was there any nerves behind it?

340
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.720
Like is he going to live up to Tim Allen?

341
00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:17.720
In my head, I was nervous, I eat, And also

342
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:21.240
I was watching Santa Claus every night with my daughter,

343
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.759
like the month before I did the show, so it

344
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.240
was like, I mean, you know, so when I met him,

345
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.799
I was definitely nervous, but he was so nice, like

346
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.920
he immediately I was like, oh man, he's such a

347
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.960
guys guy. He's such a like down to earth, super funny,

348
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:43.119
great guy. And then yeah, so I mean still it

349
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.480
took a few episodes, and it's also because I was

350
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:46.960
trying to figure it out too. It was like I

351
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.160
don't know what I'm doing. Man, this is so different,

352
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:55.640
but like he yeah, if anything, you know, I still

353
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.880
get a little bit nervous. I mean, yeah, you grew

354
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.920
up watching him, and but as time's gone on a

355
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:05.920
little bit, I'm like, what kind of buddies Like, I'm

356
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.160
kind of buddies' time out. He's asked me questions about

357
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.359
other football games, and like that's pretty awesome.

358
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:17.599
Did did you have you learned? You know, picked up

359
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:19.799
because he has been doing this forever. I mean you've

360
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:21.720
been doing it for a while as well, but he's

361
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.559
been doing it for like ever. Have you picked up

362
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:28.359
any cool you know, tips from him, acting wise or otherwise?

363
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.400
You know, he's just what I I think, there's a

364
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.079
lot of things that like we have in common. I

365
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:40.440
think one of the things too is and I tend

366
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:44.599
to overdo this, but like, you know, he's always you know,

367
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:47.039
even with the sitcom, he's trying to understand like the

368
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.759
logic behind things. Like if there's something that doesn't make sense,

369
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:53.359
he's going to ask questions, be like I don't want

370
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:55.039
people watching this and be like that doesn't make sense,

371
00:19:55.039 --> 00:20:00.039
nobody would do that, or like he's like so, you

372
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.960
you know, I think that I kind of have that

373
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:05.000
instinct as well. But you know, it's fun to be

374
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.000
able to watch something who's done it for a long time,

375
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.599
who could just really just choose to come in and

376
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:13.319
just do the job. But he's like he cares, Like

377
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.519
so he's the kind of analyzing things and always trying to,

378
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:19.759
you know, find ways to make it funnier and stuff.

379
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.319
I really appreciate.

380
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.920
That, have you.

381
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:26.920
It's interesting because a lot of sitcoms today, I would

382
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.599
say most sitcoms today no longer do live in front

383
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:36.200
of a studio audience. Is is that something that you

384
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:40.400
think adds to kind of the charm of the show,

385
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.000
Like for me, I think it does.

386
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.480
The show's funny, you know, hysterically funny.

387
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.240
The characters are well written, all the actors are great,

388
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.680
but there's this extra charm for me as a viewer

389
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.440
that it's like, I don't want to say down home mee,

390
00:20:55.559 --> 00:21:00.119
but it's like that live studio track just gives is

391
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.480
it that little extra warm, fuzzy feeling, you know what

392
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:04.920
I'm saying?

393
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:09.880
Yeah, no, I agree. And also because I don't know

394
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:11.599
how many there are out there, but I think there's

395
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.920
only just a handful, and I think it definitely feels

396
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:16.039
like comfort.

397
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:17.720
Food comfort there you go.

398
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:22.960
Yeah, it's like, you know, not everybody's a fan of

399
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:25.079
like sitcom stuff like that, but there are a lot

400
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.200
of people that are. And then you know the fact

401
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.119
that they weren't around for a long time and then

402
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:30.799
they kind of came back and think with Night Court

403
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:34.440
or some show and then they're like, oh, people love

404
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:36.519
this and there is there's and especially when it's tim

405
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:38.640
so all of a sudden, you're watching Tim in a

406
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:41.279
sitcom with the live audience, and you get that feeling.

407
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.519
It's like we've been watching sitcoms for a long time,

408
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:48.880
so it is you know, you got I think twenty

409
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.599
two minutes of story and laughs and then you hear

410
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.359
the the other thing too, I think is always funny.

411
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:57.599
It is like, man, I remember that when I first

412
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:01.039
started to when we rehearse, there would be a section

413
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:04.720
of people in the audience who are laughers, And like,

414
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:09.720
the fuck is this a people laughing? Where are they?

415
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:14.680
And then catch He's like, no, we we have professional laughers,

416
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.039
like for the rehearsals, and like why and and and

417
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.559
then I get it because you kind of have to, like,

418
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.200
you know, you hope that they're laughing genuinely, like at

419
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:28.599
the right time, but because if you don't have an

420
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:31.039
idea of how to time it, then all of a sudden,

421
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.279
when you're doing a live performance, you could be in

422
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:34.839
the middle of the line deliver something and then all

423
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:36.960
of a sudden people were laughing. You're like WHOA, Like

424
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:39.440
I don't know the whole thing. And then I just thought, like,

425
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.279
how do you how do you get that job?

426
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:43.920
I was just gonna ask you.

427
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:49.039
That, what's their resume, like like professional, you know, like

428
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:52.559
I don't know, I don't know. I wonder kind of

429
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:55.519
weird stuff goes on in that group, Like yeah, it's weird.

430
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.400
It's you know, you literally they're they're there and it's

431
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:02.160
a full job and and and they're laughing at stuff,

432
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.160
and you think then it kind of messes with you

433
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:05.720
because then you're like, well, what am I gonna do

434
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:08.720
walking around town with that professional laughers laughing at everything?

435
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:13.880
To say, I'm gonna be so sad and confused exactly.

436
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:17.920
It's interesting they need to come to the family holiday

437
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:19.519
party so they can laugh at all your jokes.

438
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:23.279
Right now, it's so weird.

439
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:24.359
I love that.

440
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:27.200
I've literally never heard that there's I've never heard that

441
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:29.160
that there's a professional laugher.

442
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:31.519
I'm like genuinely intrigued.

443
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:34.000
Now. It felt like The Truman Show. I felt like

444
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:36.440
Jim Carrey and The Truman Show, like this is a

445
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:38.759
trick at that in the beginning was that one of

446
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:40.920
the things I think it really tripped me out because

447
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:44.400
I'm like, and it's loud, so like you're doing it

448
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.079
and you're rehearsing and so it's still like work in progress.

449
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:50.880
But then yeah, the people are laughing behind You're like,

450
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.960
I don't know, man, I didn't like it. Now now

451
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:56.480
I don't even but I don't even notice it, right,

452
00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:57.559
that's weird.

453
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:03.240
So besides that, because you guys are the season finale

454
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:05.839
would be coming up in in a few weeks, right,

455
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:09.440
and then what else are you working on for?

456
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:12.160
Like you know, what's your plan for the f or

457
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:13.400
what are we in winter?

458
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:16.240
I know it's hard. I didn't know what season it was,

459
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:20.720
you know what I feel like I would I think

460
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:23.799
I just maybe unless there's something awesome that comes around,

461
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.319
I'm happy that just takes some time to be with

462
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.440
my daughter. So I'm that's what I'm looking forward to

463
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:32.240
the most. I mean, if something was amazing that you know,

464
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:35.000
it didn't take much time away from her, then I

465
00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:37.759
think that. But like that's the thing is like you

466
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.799
get really, I mean, the show is such a blessing.

467
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:43.759
You know, they have the schedule and everything and to

468
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:47.640
like switch to switch to like something or like on

469
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:52.279
set for sixteen hours and I don't know, but but

470
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:53.759
the I don't know. Did I tell you about this

471
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:59.079
movie that it did called Dolly no, oh, wait to

472
00:24:59.079 --> 00:24:59.920
see this movie.

473
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:01.640
Okay it is.

474
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:05.880
It's a horror movie. Yeah, oh man, it's it's a

475
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:08.240
I don't know if i'd say it's like a love letter.

476
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.680
It's you know, like the original Texas Chansaw Massacre. But

477
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.319
I mean it, it just hits some festivals and like

478
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.599
I've seen it, it's going to shock people. So I

479
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.920
think that that movie comes out. I think maybe next spring,

480
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:25.680
but okay, take a look at that when it does.

481
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:28.680
Absolutely, I'm a huge horror.

482
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:32.359
Fans love this. This it's that part of the like

483
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.960
the French extremity genre of films, and like it's it's

484
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.039
like it's sexually. It's one of those movies where I've

485
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:44.279
only had a couple like this, like the only other

486
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:48.640
thing well, I was gonna say Goon and then Wrath

487
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:53.799
of Becky and like Bloodline, but like where you know,

488
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:57.039
great script, you go in and you have a great experience.

489
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:00.839
It's so very few of them actually end up being good,

490
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:03.880
and this is one where it's like everything came together

491
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:06.599
and it's like, so if you love horror movies like

492
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:13.240
this one is set a sixteen millimeter like looks beautiful, shocking.

493
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:16.680
Yeah, now, I'm hyped for that because, like I said,

494
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.279
I'm a huge horror fan and I'll watch bad stuff,

495
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:23.440
i'll watch great stuff, I'll watch everything between.

496
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:28.279
And uh yeah, so that'll be on my list for sure.

497
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:32.039
Awesome is is you've spoken about your daughter a lot.

498
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:36.279
Is that what is that your all of your hyphen

499
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:38.440
its you know, as Sean?

500
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:42.720
Is that your daddy? Is that like your your favorite?

501
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.400
Sure? Oh man, yeah, it's everything I've wanted.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

504
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:52.160
I just see whenever you talk about your daughter, I

505
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:54.799
just see you like light up. So it just kind

506
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:55.920
of oozes out of you.

507
00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:59.680
Yeah, yeah, you know, I mean, and then that's that

508
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:01.599
was the thing about the show, is like I was

509
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:05.960
doing Righteous Gemstones and having the most incredible time, and

510
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:10.359

00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:12.319
I was working with the Gemstones were telling me about51200:27:12.720 --> 00:27:16.400

each and every and I am so excited for this54300:29:02.720 --> 00:29:06.799

the always incredible Felicity Jones. And they're here to talk54600:29:16.720 --> 00:29:20.640



about their new holiday film, Oh What Fun, which is54700:29:20.759 --> 00:29:26.200



exactly what the title promise is. It's a warm, funny, drama,54800:29:26.920 --> 00:29:32.359



slightly chaotic movie that captures exactly what it's like when54900:29:32.960 --> 00:29:37.440



family and the holidays collide. To be honest, here they are,55000:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.319



Felicity Jones and Michelle Pfeiffer.55100:29:43.359 --> 00:29:45.400



Thank you both so much for joining me. I really55200:29:45.440 --> 00:29:46.160



appreciate it.55300:29:46.799 --> 00:29:47.000



Hi.55400:29:47.759 --> 00:29:50.079



Hi, nice meeting you so.55500:29:50.319 --> 00:29:53.920



Michelle, If I may start with you, You've done some55600:29:54.079 --> 00:29:56.720



of the greatest films of all time, played some of55700:29:56.759 --> 00:30:01.319



the greatest characters of all time. Why What Fun? Which55800:30:01.359 --> 00:30:04.160



I love, by the way, but what like in your career?55900:30:04.640 --> 00:30:06.680



You know, why were you like, I want to do56000:30:06.759 --> 00:30:07.880



this film at.56100:30:07.720 --> 00:30:08.480



This time.56200:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.839



Because it presented itself at this time, you know. First,56300:30:14.960 --> 00:30:19.119



before I had read anything I knew, I was asked56400:30:19.160 --> 00:30:21.240



to have a meeting with Michael Showalter and he was56500:30:21.759 --> 00:30:24.240



attached to a direct and I'm a huge fan, and56600:30:24.319 --> 00:30:28.519



I I mean, I was just I just felt so56700:30:28.599 --> 00:30:32.319



blessed that he wanted to work with me. I probably56800:30:32.359 --> 00:30:33.880



would have done just about anything with him.56900:30:33.920 --> 00:30:34.440



But then I.57000:30:34.400 --> 00:30:39.240



Read this script and I was really, it wasn't at57100:30:39.240 --> 00:30:46.359



all what I expected. It's not your typical Christmas movie, really,57200:30:46.400 --> 00:30:51.200



if there is such a thing, And I loved how57300:30:51.240 --> 00:30:55.039



passionate he was about Really, this is a love letter57400:30:55.039 --> 00:30:58.480



to moms. This is a love letter to everything that57500:30:58.519 --> 00:31:00.680



they do, not just during the whole holidays, but it's57600:31:00.680 --> 00:31:05.160



three hundred and sixty five days a year and they go,57700:31:06.519 --> 00:31:10.720



it goes unseen and unappreciated. And it's not like you know,57800:31:10.759 --> 00:31:13.799



there's any menace involved or anything you know, or ill will.57900:31:13.920 --> 00:31:17.279



It's just that, you know, it gets taken for granted.58000:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.039



And so it was really kind of shining a light58100:31:22.079 --> 00:31:28.319



on that and giving mothers the credit the credit that58200:31:28.359 --> 00:31:28.960



they deserve.58300:31:30.119 --> 00:31:34.759



I love that, and felicity for you, you.58400:31:33.279 --> 00:31:36.240



Know, which I love your work of course as well.58500:31:36.519 --> 00:31:39.680



But you how do you pull you know, in your58600:31:39.759 --> 00:31:42.880



role in the film, how do do you pull parts58700:31:43.000 --> 00:31:46.640



from you know, your own life, your own relationship with58800:31:46.759 --> 00:31:48.160



your mother and your family.58900:31:48.759 --> 00:31:51.160



As you take on a role like this.59000:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.920



I think I think you do inevitably kind of little59100:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.079



bits and pieces. And actually, when I read the script,59200:31:59.119 --> 00:32:03.119



it really resonated. I think it's very true to a59300:32:03.160 --> 00:32:05.599



lot of mother not all obviously, but a lot of59400:32:05.680 --> 00:32:12.039



mother daughter relationships are often are often like this. And59500:32:12.119 --> 00:32:15.119



I think that's what I that's what I really engaged59600:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.880



with about it is it was it's funny, it's kind59700:32:17.960 --> 00:32:22.920



of true to Michael Schulter's comedy. It's it has moments59800:32:22.920 --> 00:32:26.480



of kind of slapstick, and it's kind of ludicrous in moments,59900:32:26.480 --> 00:32:33.039



but it has this emotional truth propelling it underneath, and60000:32:33.039 --> 00:32:35.920



and that's yeah, that's a that's quite a rare thing60100:32:35.960 --> 00:32:36.440



to find.60200:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.720



Actually, Yeah, and it is such a great film. I60300:32:39.759 --> 00:32:41.200



can't wait for everybody to see.60400:32:41.240 --> 00:32:43.680

that I get to talk to the people that I61100:33:03.000 --> 00:33:05.759



get to talk to, and it is all because of you.61200:33:05.920 --> 00:33:10.799
