00:00Let me tell you a story about Chris Pratt and his process.
00:04I was thinking of the Kurt Russell story.
00:11Tell me about his process.
00:12When Chris was laying back after work, after a hard day of working maybe an hour and a
00:18half doing some lines and hanging out in his trailer, you know, doing whatever he does
00:22in there.
00:23And then he's...
00:24Actually, he doesn't hang out.
00:25He hangs out on set all the time.
00:26I do give you props for that.
00:27You're hanging out.
00:28You get the pickles over your eyes.
00:29Pickles?
00:30Why would a person put pickles on their eyes?
00:31Cucumbers.
00:32They are cucumbers.
00:33Cucumbers.
00:34You're getting your head massaged.
00:35No, I wasn't even...
00:36My head was...
00:37I was getting my hair frosted.
00:38So I had foils in my hair.
00:39You had foils in your hair.
00:40You're sitting back there.
00:41So a PA comes in and goes, Chris, we have Coronas.
00:42Do you want a Corona?
00:43I was like, do you have any tequila?
00:44And he goes, yeah, I'll bring you one.
00:45So he brings me a tequila.
00:46Okay.
00:48I have tequila and lime.
00:49Frosted tips, feet up.
00:50Nails being done.
00:51No, I think they were,
00:52I think they were like tanning my hands.
00:53Okay.
00:54Tanning your hands.
00:55That's what it does.
00:56So much worse.
00:57I thought the nails was bad.
00:58Okay, tanning your hands.
00:59And then, and then Kurt Russell came in and you said...
01:00No, no, no, no.
01:01You said, no, I'm not going to do that.
01:02I'm not doing it.
01:05You said, I'm not going to do that.
01:08I said, I'm not going to do that.
01:11I said, I'm not going to do that.
01:14And then Kurt Russell came in, and you said...
01:16No, no, no. Kurt Russell came in. He's down at the end of the trailer.
01:20We didn't share the trailer at the time. And the PA came in,
01:23and there's this thing called a forced call. A forced call means
01:26they're going to bring you in less than 12 hours after you leave.
01:32So you drive an hour home, stay home for 10 hours, drive an hour back,
01:36and you're there 12 hours later. That's called a turnaround time.
01:39But a forced call means they're going to bring you in a little earlier.
01:42They're allowed to do that once a week. They have to ask.
01:44And if they do it a second time, you get a little bit of a bonus in your paycheck.
01:48But they always have to ask. And so the guy said,
01:51Chris, we're thinking of maybe forcing your call tomorrow.
01:54We want to make sure that's OK. And I was a little annoyed because I knew that it was a long...
01:58The set was like an hour away. If I leave now, it's an hour,
02:02I'm only going to get like eight hours at home and come back.
02:04Like, I'm going to... Because I'm still... Technically, I'm still working right now.
02:08You know, because I'd looked at the... On the sign up,
02:09they'd had me leaving an hour earlier, but I was getting my handstand.
02:13And I go, I'm still work right now. And I hear, oh, yeah, real hard at work down there, kid.
02:18Working! Oh, yeah.
02:20I'm working. I'm working here.
02:22My feet kicked up getting my handstand. Oh, look at me working.
02:27With a tequila. Real tough gig, kid. I was like...
02:33You're right. You're right, Mr. Russell.
02:35Certainly, I'll be here. I'll be here early.
02:38Because I'm tough like Kurt Russell.
02:39You're eating oatmeal in the middle of the interview.
02:41No, I'm not. I'm watching you do it.
02:45I did not eat any oatmeal in the middle of the interview.
02:48How did you see that? I did it incredibly slowly.
02:53I'm sure I'm invisible.
02:54Hi, Drax.
