00:00I just want to know from the both of you like how great what are you most grateful for I guess with your relationship on screen your friendship off screen together?
00:10Between us?
00:11Yeah between the two of you.
00:12Oh my god.
00:13The two youths.
00:14The two youths.
00:15You know I'll start.
00:16Start now with the hard questions.
00:17Look I'll start.
00:18Right out of the gates.
00:20Okay so I'll go first.
00:23Okay here's my question.
00:24I literally James it's so funny because you don't go into this thinking you are gonna like really end up loving the person that you know you're like it's a job great.
00:36Yeah he's cool.
00:37He's great.
00:38He's got good hair.
00:39Yeah he's cute you know whatever who they think he is you know.
00:42But then you become friends with the person and you're laughing and you're you know he's really a joy to be around.
00:48He's one of my favorite people to literally be around.
00:50He makes me laugh all the time.
00:52I'm like you're not that cute but you're funny you know.
00:56And so to have like this whole package you know you're just like you just feel lucky to be around.
01:02He's also been in the business for a really long time.
01:04And you just see how hard.
01:06Shush just be quiet.
01:08No like 1945 you were born.
01:10Born no it was my first stage play.
01:13But I just feel lucky to be around such a seasoned actor and someone who is playful and young at heart and just a good dude.
01:24He's really just a good dude.
01:25That has to make you feel good.
01:27That's very sweet.
01:28Okay my turn.
01:29Next question.
01:30There we go come on.
01:31She set the table for that.
01:32I can't beat that.
01:34No I feel the same way about her and she's got the most infectious laugh you'll ever hear.
01:38The best laugh.
01:39So like I go to set going how am I going to get Tiki to laugh.
01:43But it really is such a great group of people on this movie and like we get to spend most of our scenes together.
01:49Sure.
01:50Because there's no actual hedgehog running around us.
01:56Tom, Maddie we need your help on a super.
01:58Knuckles do you mind?
01:59Oh excuse me.
02:01Tom, Maddie we need your help on a super dangerous top secret mission.
02:05We're in.
02:06And Jeff Fowler is so great at setting a really playful tone on set so we're allowed to come in and play and have fun.
02:13And that's just like you just can't beat that.
02:15And when you're making something that you know is already special that people are excited to see.
02:20It makes my time spent in my trailer alone to get away from Tika that much more peaceful.
02:29So listen we got Idris for the second one.
02:32Don't talk to me.
02:34I'm not in the mood.
02:35We got Keanu for the third one.
02:38You were right about one thing.
02:41This ends now.
02:44What are the chances that we get jury duties Ronald Gladden for the fourth one?
02:49I'm not sure he's going to.
02:52Participate.
02:53I'm not sure he's going to protest that at all.
02:57But we'd have to really make him audition.
02:59And maybe I'd do another audition tape with him.
03:01I love that.
03:02I love that.
03:03He didn't love the movie.
03:04Or he heard it wasn't good or something.
03:06Yeah.
03:07The first day.
03:08Are you in the movie Sonic?
03:10Yeah.
03:11The new one with Jim Carrey.
03:13Yeah.
03:14I heard that was not a good movie.
03:16Is it funny?
03:17When I saw it my mouth dropped.
03:19Comedy gold when he said it.
03:21But then the next day just a tail between his legs.
03:23Yeah he's like I'm so sorry.
03:24Now I think he's actually coming to the premiere in LA.
03:26Oh really?
03:27Good.
03:28So then let's dream a little bit.
03:29Because it does set up, this movie sets up that there will be more.
03:32Let's dream.
03:33What next A-lister, because it feels like everybody's clamoring to join this franchise.
03:38What next A-lister in your dream mind could you cast for this franchise?
03:43Oh boy.
03:44Oh yeah.
03:45Who would be good to compliment?
03:46Like Keanu and Regis and Jim.
03:49I don't know.
03:50Would it be like a, who?
03:53The Rock.
03:54He doesn't do any, he's not working.
03:56Right?
03:57He doesn't do much work.
03:58No he never works.
03:59Yeah ever.
04:01I don't know.
04:02I would like somebody who just normally would not be in a movie like this.
04:05Yeah.
04:06Like a Meryl Streep.
04:07Yes.
04:08Yeah.
04:09Yes.
04:10Yeah like Meryl Streep.
04:11Like a Meryl Streep would be fun.
04:12Dr. Nicholson or something.
04:13Yeah.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Something crazy.
04:16Something crazy that you would never think would be attached to it.
04:17Yeah.
04:18I love that.
04:19Yeah what's the character that they introduce?
04:20Shut up.
04:21Don't try me.
04:22I'm not giving away.
04:23She's like.
04:24I'm like y'all not trying to get me in trouble.
04:25Not today Satan.
04:26I'm not doing it.
04:27Not today.
04:29So Tika told us that this is the first movie that like her daughter really kind of sat
04:33through captivated and watched the whole thing without like needing anything else.
04:39Your kids are older but I'm wondering like what do you recall watching together with
04:43them when they were kids or even maybe now if you have movie nights or something that
04:47was there.
04:48I mean just in general.
04:49Yeah that was like.
04:50When my kids were.
04:51Yeah when they were really young they were.
04:52They were kind of freaked out by it.
04:55Like at three or four years old.
04:56Yeah.
04:57Because you think about it when they see something on TV or a movie or whatever they think it's
05:02real.
05:03Like they think they're watching a real thing and then for them to at that age try to comprehend
05:07how their dad is on screen.
05:09Falling off a building or something.
05:10Yeah or just on a TV screen.
05:12Yeah.
05:13And then here and then you're pretending to be somebody else.
05:16They sort of rejected that when they were younger.
05:19They didn't like it.
05:20They just want you to be dad.
05:21Yeah.
05:22So they're much, much, much less overwhelmed.
05:27They're more underwhelmed now.
05:29By your acting?
05:30Yeah.
05:31No.
05:32Yes.
05:33By.
05:34He's mean.
05:35Yeah.
05:36He's mean.
05:37It wasn't that you were on the screen.
05:38It was that you were so boring.
05:39Yeah.
05:40But do you have like one of those core like where you were like we watched this together
05:44and they loved it and we had that kind of moment.
05:47And it doesn't have to have you in it.
05:49Yeah.
05:50It can be whatever.
05:51Oh.
05:52Then that's a question.
05:53He literally thought it was about him.
05:54Then that's a question for Chica I think.
05:55You probably think this question's about you.
05:59Don't you?
06:00Don't you?
06:04I don't know if there's many.
06:05I don't know many movies about me in it.
06:10So I guess maybe that is a question for you.
06:12That's true.
06:1319.
06:14I get it.
06:15I get it.
06:16I get it.
06:17I get it.
06:19See?
06:20All day.
06:21All day he'll be here.
06:22Exhausting.
06:23Exhausting.
06:24So good.
06:25Okay.
06:26So I want to ask a question about Jim because we do get a double dose of him in this movie.
06:29Name the most elegant formula in mathematics.
06:32Euler's Identity.
06:33E to the i times pi plus one equals zilch.
06:36European capitals arranged alphabetically by the fourth letter.
06:39Riga, Monaco, Sarajevo, Tirana.
06:41We kind of talked about that a little bit.
06:43And I just, there's no one better watching do physical comedy than Jim Carrey.
06:48I mean there's not even an argument about that.
06:50So do you have, and you can't say Robotnik because you're in this movie.
06:54Your favorite character that he does of his movies.
06:58Oh man.
06:59In the context of like physical comedy or just in general.
07:02Or movies that he was in with me.
07:04Yeah.
07:05This one.
07:06Yeah.
07:07Okay.
07:08I think the Ace Ventura movies.
07:10The Mask.
07:11The Mask.
07:12The Grinch.
07:13Do you realize that he gave us Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber?
07:17All in one year.
07:18Dude.
07:19Same year.
07:20Dude.
07:21All in one year.
07:22That's crazy.
07:23Exactly.
07:24Dumb and Dumber's got to be my favorite.
07:25Mine too.
07:26Dumb and Dumber is like outside of Jim Carrey.
07:27Still to this day.
07:28Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:29It's one of my top ten.
07:30Same.
07:31Comedies of all time.
07:32Yeah.
07:33That's good.
07:34Yeah.
07:35And largely do to him.
07:36I mean.
07:37When he throws that snowball at her.
07:38Because she's playing and he picks up.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Jeff Daniels like kind of unsung hero too in that movie.
07:45Diarrhea scene.
07:46And he throws it.
07:47Yeah.
07:48But then when they're beating the hell out of each other.
07:51I don't know.
07:52One of my favorite movies.
07:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:55They're good.
07:56He really is a comedy genius.
07:57And I laughed so hard at the double Robotniks in this.
08:00Yeah.
08:01He's so good.
08:02And he worked so hard.
08:03And he's still so hard on himself.
08:04Yeah.
08:05Like we've been talking to him to this day.
08:06Literally.
08:07I was like.
08:08We were talking at dinner.
08:09And yeah.
08:10He's like.
08:11He's so.
08:12Did you just see where she dropped?
08:13Jim and I were talking at dinner.
08:14Yeah.
08:15No, but like he's just so good.
08:16It's okay.
08:17We all you guys went to dinner together.
08:18No.
08:19No.
08:20You were there the other day too.
08:21Was I?
08:22Yesterday.
08:23After the premiere.
08:24No.
08:25Forget it.
08:26Yeah.
08:27It's AI.
08:28He's actually AI right now.
08:29He's not even here.
08:30I'm just a puppet.
08:31It's not his movie.
08:32No.
08:33He doesn't know what's happening.
08:34Doesn't matter.
08:35Doesn't matter.
08:36No, but he's so.
08:37He judges himself harshly.
08:38Yeah.
08:39You know.
08:40And it's like.
08:41You've done everything.
08:42And it does not stop.
08:43It never stops.
08:44Being like critical.
08:45And you know.
08:46So.
08:47He's a perfectionist.
08:48He's a perfectionist.
08:49Until he retires.
08:50And then he comes back out of retirement.
