00:00We're a little nerdy. We're comedy nerds.
00:02We gotta do a selfie, bro.
00:04These are dirty socks.
00:05It goes in the hamper. It's real easy.
00:08It's like right there.
00:09How are you?
00:10Very well. My outfit today, I was watching the film last night and I was like,
00:14I haven't got a clue what to wear. So it's inspired by what you're wearing at the very end.
00:17I was like, that's a great outfit. I will go with that.
00:22Saved me thinking.
00:23She has many a great outfit.
00:25I think outfits are extra cute in this movie.
00:27Yeah, absolutely.
00:29It's so lovely to see you both.
00:31How was it working together?
00:33Because is Reese a hard taskmaster?
00:36Is Will, you know, messing about all the time?
00:39Like what?
00:40No, I'm a little late, habitually late.
00:42So late.
00:44No, never late.
00:44I don't believe, never.
00:45Late and unprepared.
00:46No, never.
00:47Sure.
00:47Never knew his lines.
00:49No, always knew his lines.
00:52But we kind of nerdily share that.
00:55Yeah, we're a little nerdy. We're comedy nerds, I think.
00:58I love that.
00:58So we always ready to go.
01:00But I think we appreciated that.
01:03I think we did.
01:04I mean, I think if there's one common thread, we just love our jobs.
01:07Yeah.
01:08Professional, but fun.
01:10Yeah, we all feel, I feel like we feel like so lucky to be here.
01:14And then we got to work together, which just made it extra fun.
01:16Yeah.
01:16Is there anything though that you think the two of you would clash over?
01:19Like your characters obviously do clash in the film.
01:23Is there anything you're like, if I did that,
01:25Reese would not like that or Will would not like that?
01:27Oddly, I think we're kind of like very similar in that
01:31the way you wear weird costumes and show up at your children's events and embarrass them.
01:37I do that too, but I just don't let, I just don't do it in public.
01:40Right.
01:41But there was a year where every time the bus came for school, I would just,
01:48I would do like a TikTok dance for everyone on the bus until my children wanted to crawl
01:54out of their skin.
01:55That's so good.
01:56And it was amazing. It was the best feeling ever.
01:59Dressing up as Elf was by far one of my favorite things I've ever seen in my life.
02:03The greatest.
02:04Yeah.
02:04It just gave people Christmas joy.
02:06But now my kids, they've gone from like, what are you doing?
02:10To like, let's think of another one.
02:13So they're now enjoying being in on it.
02:17I'm curious, what kind of wedding guests are both of you?
02:20Are you the type that is on the dance floor doing the embarrassing dancing?
02:23Are you in the corner being like, I can't wait to leave?
02:26I'll get out there and mix it up.
02:27First one on the dance floor.
02:29You must be the first one.
02:30I mean, does that surprise you?
02:32Doesn't that sound so like me?
02:34Yeah.
02:34Yeah. And I'll stay till it ends.
02:36What your dance moves like.
02:37Excellent.
02:38But now what happens if the music is not so good?
02:42Do you still dance?
02:43Do you still get out there?
02:44I'll get bummed and I'll get really loud about how bummed I am.
02:47But if you hear a song that you got, you bolt.
02:50Yo, yes. In there.
02:52Yeah.
02:53And pull other people in.
02:54Okay.
02:55Oh, you're my favorite kind of person.
02:57I love those.
02:57I love to dance with my grandpa.
02:58Love it.
02:59Having fun.
03:00You need those at a wedding.
03:02Must.
03:02Yeah.
03:03Yeah, you have to.
03:03How about you Will, what are you?
03:04I sometimes have to approach it with caution.
03:08Okay.
03:09Because then I'll get kind of the drunk frat guy who wants to like,
03:14we gotta do a selfie, bro.
03:16And then I'm like, no.
03:17That's hard actually.
03:18Yeah.
03:18For you guys going to weddings, I forgot it will be difficult
03:21because everyone will want to be your best friends.
03:22There's a moment though.
03:24Don't you see?
03:24It's like when alcohol tips over an edge.
03:27Right.
03:28And you know, and your brain goes,
03:30bye, goodnight everybody.
03:31Yeah.
03:33And within your families, obviously,
03:35Reese, your character is very much the organized one in this film.
03:39And Will, you're playing the dad, he's doing the hair and everything.
03:42Within your own families, who are you?
03:44Are you the peacekeeper?
03:45Are you the organized one?
03:47I'm not the most organized person.
03:49I think that's contrary to popular belief.
03:51Yes.
03:52I'm not super organized.
03:55I feel like I'm begrudgingly cleaning up piles of messes and turning lights off.
04:02And complaining to my children, like, do you not know how to turn a light?
04:06Who do you think is going to pick that up?
04:08Yeah.
04:08Who do you think is going to pick that up?
04:09That's what I think.
04:09Taking videos of like, hello.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Oh, proper dad, bro.
04:13You're like, are these your dirty socks?
04:15It goes in the hamper.
04:16It's real easy.
04:17It's like right there.
04:19I feel like I'm sitting with my parents.
04:21This is really lovely.
04:22It feels really warm.
04:23And like, I just feel like I've just been told by my parents, like.
04:29I love this.
04:30That's exactly how I wanted to end.
04:31Feeling warm and fuzzy.
04:32Okay, good.
04:33Yeah.
04:34Good luck.
04:35Good luck with the film, guys.
04:36So lovely to meet you.
04:37Thank you so much.
