You know, every time I hear the chat with friends, I try and pick out each voice, and I never can. Yeah, we become one organism, kind of. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm typically pretty good at isolating vocals and picking out different instruments when I'm listening to something. But I can't.
In ours. I think that's beautiful. How are you, Tig? I'm doing all right. How are you? I'm well. I'm in Toronto. Yeah. In this like very brightly lit kind of severancy office room. I'm in the edit. I just had to do ADR, like record my audio for a big fight scene and a big sex scene. It was humiliating. I made everybody turn and face the wall. Wow. So wait, like. Is it giving away too much? Tell me who you're fighting with.
Yeah, I can't say who I'm fighting with, but I get tased. I think I talked about this on the pod and I was so embarrassed by my tased acting and especially the noise. So this was like my second shot at it. Okay. What was the noise and then what is the replace noise? Let's hear it. Okay, what it was? it was really not good and then and what did you base that on did you look up like people getting tased and noises they made or anything like that well
I looked at videos and I saw the physicality, but they don't really make noises. Like, your body's all frozen up. Oh, so you're silent when you're tased. Maybe, yeah. But then today I tried a new noise, which is more like... and and who's deciding like who has the experience of knowing the sound of a taster
person. All I know is that the sound team here were like, you gotta do this again. Yeah. And I think people seem happy with the second round. Okay. And then the sex scene was really embarrassing. I had to turn the lights off.
in the studio, basically. That sounds sexy right away. It was pretty sexy. And then I had to do all this like heavy breathing. And I thought it'd be really funny if I And they aren't like... like like crazy sex noises as a joke but do you want to explain to people what adr is in case they maybe don't know like if there's a sound problem when you're recording or if you want to add a line or something you you go in and record
your audio and your your dialogue but often it's just like breathing or do you i can imagine like When you have to do a running scene or something, and then you have to ADR all your panting, do you do that? Yeah, I was just about to act that out, that sometimes you have to go in and be like... I don't even know if I really make noise. I don't know when the last time I ran was.
But I don't know that I, I don't know if I make those noises. I don't think anyone does. But then I guess for storytelling, they're like, Just go for it! especially in a cartoon it feels better if I'm doing that if I'm voicing a cartoon and you have to do the And then it's like, okay, you're now putting something up on a very heavy box on a shelf. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is that?
Oh, that was just a boing, like a cartoon boing. But like if you're lifting a box onto a shelf. But then you might drop it on a trampoline. Of course, yes, yes. We watch the same cartoon, apparently. Yes, yes. But I want to go back to your sex scene. Was that more uncomfortable to do the ADR for the sex scene than it was to do the actual sex scene? Sort of, because at least
You know, when you're doing it, the adrenaline's going. You're like, I gotta just do this. And there's another person you're ideally in the moment with, but this is like, there's a guy with headphones eating a sandwich. Yeah. At the next desk. And yeah, just watching yourself as well as hell. And how did you feel watching yourself? Were you, was it titillating? titillating no but I hope it is for others it's it's kind of a wild scene yeah I think
I think it will be okay. I don't know. And how many sex scenes have you done in your career thus far? I would say I did about...
Four in Feel Good and then one in this show. And does it get easier? That's five in total. Yes, absolutely. And also that I feel more confident in my bod now, you know? Yeah. What about you? Have you ever done like a full? No. nor would I I'm like no no no no thank you I wouldn't mind saying it I think you'd be great oh well you are kind um but also back off um Yeah, I remember, I think Stephanie and I,
The most that went down on one Mississippi was kissing. Right. And that's the only... any kind of interaction i've had was with your very own wife was with my own person and that was even uncomfortable for me because i'm not like a very Um... PDA. No, I'm just not. What about you? uh yeah it is just weird there's a whole whole crew but i don't i don't mind it wait a whole crew what but like for pda and life oh are you pda pda and life
I'm a very hand-holdy, hand on the leg, hand on the back, but I'm not kissing a bunch in front of people. I don't like that. Yeah, same. But I like to have a bit of contact. mm-hmm yeah just a hey i'm over here hello hello it's me the one you love um well i can't wait to see i cannot wait to see can you tell us if you win the fight Oh, I did win the fight, actually. Oh, spoiler!
yeah there's a couple fights okay yeah i'm excited for you guys to see it i hope you like it yeah um i feel like thomas might like it because it's set in 2003 and there's a lot of canadian music in it from that era, which is really my era. canadian indie music you know 2003 yeah i love that year I'm really excited. Any bare naked ladies in there? No, but you got some Tragically Hip. You got some Sam Roberts.
Oh, my God. Barenaked Ladies, I get a really dramatic moment. It's been a long week. Or during the sex scene. Yeah. It's been. It's been. Boy, they really had a massive experience. explosion didn't they when they yeah like they because they made it down to the states right oh yeah yeah and they just had such a different vibe i guess that vibe was canadian i was truly like What is this? I enjoyed them very much. I just had not experienced
That, like, silliness? Uh-huh, yeah. Yeah, very silly. Yeah. What were you doing this morning? What was I doing this morning? We dropped off, you know, Max and Finn at their school. Uh-huh. And then... I had to edit this thing for a charity event that I'm involved with that I have to announce. I had a doctor's appointment. Love it. Yeah, love, love, love.
And physical therapy. Oh, cool. Does that feel good, physical therapy? Yeah, it feels really good. It's making me feel like, oh, maybe I should get... more into strength training because it's hard i mean i know it's not hard for you because you can do push-ups with me on your back i couldn't even do one but i could at least
do a plank yeah yeah i mean i was really impressed that really absolutely i i mean if you sat on my lap i would i would i i'm just yeah i need to definitely work on my strength training the thing i hate doing is legs like i like doing upper body stuff and trying to trying to look strong but i get my legs are like little twigs they're very weak and i went rock climbing i went bouldering i love bouldering yes and i didn't realize it's all legs like you're meant to be pushing with your life anyway
I was just... Where were you bouldering? Echo Park. There's a place, an indoor place with a bunch of walls. But the crowd there, like the bouldering scene is like... A lot of guys with ponytails, a lot of those stringy little guys who are coming up. I was like trying to do something. And then this guy comes up, he's got braces. He looks about 12. He's like, yeah, what you want to do is get your foot in the crevice there. And boots me off basically and takes over.
I remember I went, where was I? I was in the Arches in Utah in the Canyonlands. And I was camping with these friends of mine, Mike and Micah. Mike was my friend, and Micah, I knew through Mike. And we had, the three of us had gone to... Utah to camp. and um and we went bouldering out there and like real boulders oh we went real bouldering like through really tiny crevices you know just like shimmying up and down and
I remember I was on top of this massive boulder and they had made their way down and they were like, just slide, just slide. It was so precarious that it wasn't. It just wasn't totally straightforward for me to get down off of this boulder. So I slid down and it completely I lost the entire backside of my jeans. And I had the rest of the day to Boulder with these guys.
with my you know shiny red bum yes yeah yeah and we were so far from our campsite that there there was nothing that i could do so Yeah, it was a bit of a damper on the bouldering day. I mean, I was visualizing that in my head, but in my head when I pictured it, it was a cartoon. It basically was. Such a cartoony moment.
Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate first. Like you know to check that you've got some bubble bath solution before pouring that bath. It's always nice to have some bubbles in the bath, if at all possible.
Checking first is smart, so check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate. Savings vary. Subject to terms, conditions, and availability. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. Well, listen, should we find out what our listeners want to know? I think we should. That's why we're here. So let's give them what they want. Yeah. Hi, handsome podcast. My name is Marky and I have a question for y'all.
Since Mae is a fan of escape rooms, what theme would your escape room be and what would be the key to getting out? well i i would have said titanic um which feels fucked up because it's a real life tragedy but then i recently did a titanic escape room that was so epic because i think there's nothing scarier than The idea of like water rushing in and trying to get like, yeah, yeah. So I would have said Titanic, but it's not a very whimsical.
joyful idea what about you i really don't know i mean you're just like in uh um like a themed world like you might be in jurassic park or you might be in um Sherlock Holmes's study or something like that or an Inca Yeah. Ruin. What about an insane asylum? Like you start, I've never been in an escape room where you start in a padded room in a straitjacket and you go, where are the clues? What am I supposed to solve? And then.
Maybe you find a pin hidden in the powdered walls and you use that. Here's my question. I have really bad claustrophobia. Would this be bad for claustrophobia? Like if you Didn't feel like you could get out. The straight jacket would be a problem for you, I think. But generally, I think you'd be okay. You're in a room. You know that the door's not really locked. You're not like... Okay, because we were on, this is how much, how bad my claustrophilia is. We were in Chicago on spring break.
As you do. And there was a submarine that was indoors. No water. No locking door. i stepped onto the submarine and the guide started just talking about and i went okay like i couldn't even talk i My mind went so far into the future or the past or wherever. It just was not there. And I imagined being in the submarine underwater for months, which is apparently what happens. That's how you train above water, and then you go into a submarine. for the first time and you go away for months so
There's got to be a better way. That's insane. People are going for months in tiny explorations. So I wouldn't have ever thought that something like that would be a problem for me until the spring break when I was like, wow, I know I'm not really submerged. But your fight or flight. Yeah, it really kicked in. But... Who cares? That's my issue. And you know what? Maybe what I would do...
is I would be, again, I don't really know what I'm referencing. What about a school or college or something that I want to get out of? But that- yeah i don't mind that there'd have to be like a plot element where you're trapped in there like but yeah like because i felt trapped in school yeah emotionally yeah everything emotional escape room yeah yeah
Why don't you give me an option? I guess you've rattled off a few. Titanic... insane asylum prison uh what are some good ones i've done oh you've done all of those I've done all those. Actually, you know what? Lisa Gilroy, our friend, friend of the pod, she went to visit the pyramids in Egypt.
and she went into the great pyramid and you have to walk through a tiny tunnel into the pyramid and she said like halfway through she realized there's a line of people in front of her a lot of people behind her like you can't go back And she was panicking and that's my hell. I'm also...
So is that claustrophobia? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's bad. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I think we should do insane asylum, but you could be one of the orderlies. You could be like a nurse ratchet. I'm down. I'm down. Sorry to complicate that. No, no, I love it. I just want to know what I'm in for. I'm going to find a really spacious escape room and take you. Are there tiny hallway room escape rooms? Yeah. They should do a claustrophobia escape room.
oh christ i mean i'm saying that but i would do it in a heartbeat but i'd hate it I'd hate every second of it. Oh my gosh. I can't even think about it. Let's move on. Yeah. Oh, let's hear Marky's answer. Yeah. What's Marky up to? My escape room theme would be similar to an episode of Double Dare. where guests climb and search giant cat towers and sift through litter to find three flags to open the door to get out or something.
Okay, thanks. And what a podcast. Cheers. What a podcast. Wait, that was really thought out or something like that. But I like that. Why don't you start a business?
doing don't tempt me i want to pack it all in and just do escape rooms yeah is that what if you if you could leave your career is that what you would do is start an escape room company immersive theater slash escape rooms but I like the idea that Marky had of being shrunk down almost when your cat saw it and you're going through big things of litter that's cool yeah thank you Marky
Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Marky. Thank you so much. What a question. What a question. What a Marky. What a Marky. Should we hear another one? I think we should. Yeah, I don't see why not. Hello, handsoms. My pretty little ladies and babies. My name is Nikki and I'm from Chicago. Long time listener, first time question recorder. I'm a huge fan of all y'all. And my question is...
What is the most beautiful place that you have ever been to? Oh, great, great question. Yeah, that's hard. Did something jump into your mind? I mean, there's so many places. I love the... pacific coast highway oh yeah i mean what i am just right i mean i've been to new zealand the black sand beaches of New Zealand. Have you been to New Zealand? No, never. I would love to because I love Lord of the Rings and that's where Hobberton is. Oh, is that right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That might make you claustrophobic. Little hobbit homes. Yeah, I don't think I'm cut out for the hobbitry. but i'm new zealand for you you know i love the rocky mountains um There's a theme here that you're drawn to like mountainous rather than like white sand, blue water, Caribbean. I certainly like blue water, Caribbean. What is the most beautiful? That's not fair. What is your answer?
I'm going to say when I went to Nepal, there's a city in Nepal called Pokhara that's like around a lake and snow-capped Himalayas all around it. got these like jacaranda trees that were when they're in bloom are like so perfumey and beautiful yeah and it just looks like it uh post like a fake place it looks like like disney um so poker and also iceland when you're talking about blacks and beaches like
Iceland just looks like Mars and there's like hot springs and northern lights. I want to go there so bad. Really? Yeah, I do. I love it. Stephanie and I were walking past these flowers this morning and I was like, oh, look how beautiful those flowers are. And she stopped and was like, whoa. This looks like when you're on drugs looking at something. They were so beautiful. And it's crazy how...
I mean, I'm going to say an obvious thing, but how nature is like that, where you can't make any sense of how beautiful something is. I'm going to go with the Rocky Mountains. I'm going to go with the Rocky Mountains. I love... A river. I love rivers so much. I love that there can be a shallow part of a river. I love that there can be a waterfall. I love that a river can pool.
And there's so many options and that you can have a sandy beach vibe on the side of a river. Yes, I'm going to go with that. Beautiful flowers, beautiful mountains. Unbelievable water. Isn't that crazy that like you just switched your awareness there and you were like, I'm going to be really present and aware of the beauty of this flower. And then you feel like you're on drugs all the time. That's what like.
enlightened people must feel are people who are really practice like mindfulness and stuff it's like you can you can feel like you're tripping all the time because everything's so beautiful yes yeah i like the idea of the river that like a babbling bro Nothing babbles except a brook. Well, I know a few people that babble. I know some babblers. Yeah, babies, I guess. Yes, babies. Little babbling babies. Should we hear Nikki's answer? Yes, let's hear what Nikki has to say. I can't wait.
but I'm going to have to. A place that really made you say, get out of town, Charlie Brown, this is crazy, you know, something like that. My answer is Rio de Janeiro. I went there last year with my best friend who I've known since I was three years old. And we truly had the time of our lives. The horizons, the cascading mountains. The people, I mean, it truly was magic.
I'm really looking forward to your answer and I love you all so much. Have a good one. Thanks, Nikki. Love you too, Nikki. Thanks for listening. And I have not, I've never been there. Have you? Never, and I've never said get out of town Charlie Brown, but you better believe I'm going to start. Oh, get out of town Charlie Brown, yes. Let me quickly Google it. Because where is that? Brazil. Brazil. Max is obsessed with Brazil. Is he? Because I'm learning on the capital cities now. I'm trying.
Just in your time off? Yeah, like I'm, every day I'm, like right now I've got Europe down. I've done Europe. But it's Africa that's going to be hard because some of those words are really hard. And Asia. Yeah. And you fully have the others down. I have Europe down because I've got all the countries. And then I was in the, I had like my most kind of. spectrum-y moment of my life where I was in the back of an Uber.
And the Uber driver was like, oh, I'm from Armenia. And I went, capital city, Euroban. Mm-hmm. And I was like, what am I doing? He was like, yep, that's right. Oh my gosh. You would have a wonderful conversation with Finn because he loves geography. really oh he knows his countries his capitals all of that stuff Awesome. It's really soothing to organize the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Finally, it's organized.
Finally. Well, it was a wonderful experience seeing your mug again. Great to see your mug as always. Yeah. I hope you don't mind me calling it a mug. No, I like it. It's very New York, 1950s.
