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.
