Transcript

00:00 Let me tell you a story about Chris Pratt and his process.

00:04 [MUSIC]

00:09 I was thinking of the Kurt Russell story.

00:11 Tell me about his process.

00:12 When Chris was laying back after work, after a hard day of working maybe an hour and a half,

00:18 doing some lines and hanging out in his trailer, you know, doing whatever he does in there.

00:22 And then he's, actually he doesn't hang out, he hangs out on set all the time.

00:26 I do give you props for that.

00:27 You're hanging out, you get the pickles over your eyes.

00:29 Pickles? Why would a person put pickles on their eyes?

00:31 Cucumbers.

00:32 They are cucumbers.

00:33 Cucumbers.

00:34 Man, you're getting your head massaged.

00:39 No, I wasn't getting my head massaged.

00:40 I was getting my hair frosted.

00:42 Your hair frosted.

00:43 So I had foils in my hair.

00:45 You had foils in your hair.

00:46 You're sitting back there.

00:47 So a PA comes in and goes, "Chris, we have Coronas. Do you want a Corona?"

00:51 I was like, "Do you have any tequila?"

00:54 And he goes, "Yeah, I'll bring you one."

00:55 So he brings me a tequila.

00:57 I have tequila and lime, frosted tips, feet up.

01:01 Nails being done.

01:02 No, I think they were like tanning my hands.

01:05 Okay, tanning your hands.

01:07 So much worse.

01:11 I thought the nails was bad.

01:12 Okay, tanning your hands.

01:13 And then Kurt Russell came in and you said...

01:17 No, no, no. Kurt Russell came in.

01:18 He's down at the end of the trailer.

01:21 We didn't share the trailer at the time.

01:22 And the PA came in and there's this thing called a forced call.

01:25 And a forced call means they're going to bring you in less than 12 hours after you leave.

01:32 So you drive an hour home, stay home for 10 hours, drive an hour back, and you're there 12 hours later.

01:38 That's called a turnaround time.

01:40 But a forced call means they're going to bring you in a little earlier.

01:42 They're allowed to do that once a week.

01:44 They have to ask.

01:45 And if they do it a second time, you get a little bit of a bonus in your paycheck.

01:48 So, but they always have to ask.

01:50 And so the guy said, "Chris, we're thinking of maybe forcing your call tomorrow.

01:54 We want to make sure that's okay."

01:56 And I was a little annoyed because I knew that it was a long...

01:58 The set was like an hour away.

02:00 If I leave now, it's an hour, I'm only going to get like eight hours at home and come back.

02:04 Like, I'm going to...

02:05 Because I'm still...

02:06 Technically, I'm still working right now, you know, because I'd looked at the...

02:09 On the sign up, they'd had me leaving an hour earlier, but I was getting my handstand.

02:13 And I go, "I'm still work right now."

02:15 And I hear, "Oh, yeah.

02:17 Real hard at work down there, kid."

02:19 Working!

02:20 Oh, yeah.

02:20 I'm working!

02:21 I'm working here.

02:23 My feet kicked up getting my hands...

02:25 Look at me working!

02:27 With a tequila.

02:29 Real tough gig, kid.

02:30 I was like...

02:31 You're right.

02:35 You're right, Mr. Russell.

02:35 Certainly, I'll be here.

02:36 I'll be here early.

02:38 Because I'm tough like Kurt Russell.

02:39 You're eating oatmeal in the middle of the interview.

02:41 No, I'm not.

02:43 I'm watching you do it.

02:45 I did not eat any oatmeal in the middle of the interview.

02:48 How did you see that?

02:50 I did it incredibly slowly.

02:53 I'm sure I'm invisible.

02:54 Hi, Drax.

02:55 Damn.
