13:33 found yourself there. Well, my wife's family are all from down this way. Um and so with me being on the road a lot, it made sense to be closer to to her, have her, you know, a support system around and I love it down here to be honest with you. There was something about LA that always made me feel a little bit edgy. Um Yeah. And it's also like it's such an industry town and it's nice to live a place where there's other stuff going on, I bet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's a big part of it. And it's it's very walkable. There's good food, nice people. It's a it's it's a good it's a good little spot. I like it.

We were in A&E last night with my older one getting staples in his head because he cut his head open. Oh, no. He's fine. He's fine. Boys will take you to the emergency room. Will, you can test. I've been I've been I have three boys. I've been many times to e Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have two girls. Only once. Only once in the emergency room. I had I had my my eldest who's 16 now once when he was about 11. He uh he broke his arm. He had it in a cast. He got it off and the day he got it off, he rebroke it. What? No way. Why don't I remember that? That's Archie. Yeah. Well, how would you remember my You don't even know what your own Anyway, it was Archie. How How did he do it each How did he do it each time? just each time

14:59 just foolish just running, falling, tripping. Uh my he used to have this sort of proclivity to run a direct one direction but be looking the other direction constantly like constantly super bright. You'd see you'd see him running like going this way and going like ah and then full and Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Anyway, so I've been there. So it's a it's you got your hands full. Two and seven. That's a good spread, right? That's a nice Yeah. Yeah. It's a good little spread. But yeah, my poor wife at the moment, she he was in an I to I tore my a ACL like last week. No, you just last week. Yeah.

15:34 Yeah. How'd you do that? Playing basketball. You see, we're just too old to do it now, Nick. You're considerably younger than us, but you're still too old. This was the really sad. This was what hurt more than the injury was I was back and then I was like Google MDing. I was like, "Oh no, what's happening?" blah blah. And when I found out it was a full tear of DSA, I looked it up and and like the AI review of the injury was like most frequent in mid middle-aged people who play jumping sports. Oh, really? Like there's no need for the middle age like thrown that at me. Have you already gone in and done the the the the repair on it? No, not yet. No, no, no. I'm kind of like rehabing at the moment and then we'll do that once once you're finished the film. Yeah, of course. Yeah, you can't. It's a big You can hobble around on it. I can I can get around. Oh, right. Now, yeah. Yeah. But if I did the surgery, I think I I

16:21 couldn't for a while. But I hear that that's just sort of outpatient stuff nowadays. They just like go in there with like a little little hose camera and like uh sweep it up and get out. No, I think for this they have to cuz it's a complete T. I think they like cut out a piece of my patella with the bone and screw that in. Oh man. And then they drill into the side of your knee. I don't know. I don't It doesn't sound great. Um No, it sounds pretty terrible to be honest. So, but uh now you're going to this is you got to wait till after the David Leech thing. Uh that there's stunts in that. He's he does stunt stuff and you're it's called how to rub a bank. There's going to be activity in that. How you going to do that activity? Uh yeah. Well, I'm going to I'm going to figure that out. That's why I'm rehabbing at the moment. We'll see. We'll see how strong I can get beforehand. Um now you robbed the hell

17:05 out of a bank in the order. God, everybody, you got to see the order. That Yeah, I'm on a good I'm on a good bank robbing run. Yeah. Yeah. Um, how does this one differ from that as far as the bank robbery stuff? Is it uh is it more involved? It's it's modern, but I would say it's more of a a a Robin Hoodesque story in terms of my character, the why he's gotten into this and and how he's kind of revolutionizing a movement around it for good causes essentially. Yeah. Right. Yeah, that's cool. Um, now what about what about Nishan? I don't think you know this yet and um or haven't really processed it yet, but I bet you Scotty has considering his uh screen saver. Um Oh, yeah. Uh Nick's coming up in Superman. I know. Totally. As Lex Luthther. So great. That is released in July, correct? Is that right? Uh yes, July 11th. Yeah. All right. So, what was that? Was that uh daunting? Was that Can you talk about what version of Lex

18:05 Luthther this is? Because he's had different occupations in the past. Correct. Uh yes, he's Yeah. I mean, there's so many different variations of it through the comics and the films in terms of what he is. Um James Gun likes to describe him almost as a um That's the director. Yes. Almost. Yes. Almost as a sorcerer in this the level of science he's working on. But you know, he's a Yeah. tech billionaire defense. Um, and you and you and you and we start this Superman story like in an already developed metropolis kind of you're thrown into a world and universe that's already fully imagined and and all these, you know, characters that have been around for a minute and and you kind of catch up with where you're at.

18:46 It's it's it's it's the appropriate thing nowadays, right, to make the the villain a tech billionaire, but that that kind of lines up. You go like it's not a straight You don't go like, "What?" You go, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. That's right. That's not believable. Yeah, it certainly certainly seems very very apt. Yeah. What What did you have Did you have a villain look in that? What What did you What did you uh Isn't he traditionally Wasn't he traditionally been baldheaded, right? Is that right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I shaved I shaved my head off. Oh, you did? Shaved my head off. Shaved my hair off. Yeah. Just the whole head. So, you went So, you went shaved it completely clean. Um and then what was the growback process on that? Cuz I hear some people worry about that that their hair is never going to come back. Uh it it came back maybe not as full and loveless and wonderful. I don't know. Wait, did you

19:34 have to shave it? I I had to shave my head for a movie called The Three Stooges. Very similar. And a picture. They're so crazy. Sorry. It's an inside thingy that's not funny. I I had to shave it. Soldiers are some kind of bananas. It's the boat that's in that room. Okay. It is. That's a good reverb in that room. Wait, Nick, did you have to I had to shave it twice a day because it would start right the stubble would start showing. You have to shave. Yeah. You've got a lot of growth. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, did you have to shave it twice a day?

20:10 No. No, it was once. It was once a day, but then they'd kind of spray paint over the top of it. Oh, I see. I see. It It was better than a bald cap and doing all that, right? Than Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't really done the ball cap thing too much, but I I feel like it's like wearing a swimming cap throughout the day and it gets all hot and sweaty and bubbly. And where did you film film it? Because it What part of the We film a planet, Sean? Would you like Yeah. You want to do a tour of their locations? What are you doing? No, because I want to know if it was hot or not. Cuz it was When you write a question, now I understand.

20:43 Because of the shaved head, you want to know if it was. Yeah. Well, because my my thing is my when I shaved my head when I shaved my head every single day, it was in Atlanta. It was so hot that when I went into my hotel to sleep, I cranked up the AC and I had to wear a ski hat ski cap on my head because the AC was so cold on my bald head. Anyway, this guy doesn't know whether he's coming or going. You didn't want to just turn down the AC. Ding-dong. No, no, no. Yeah, we didn't want to do that. No, no. Got it. But anyway, anyway, you want to know if he had a similar experience to your [ __ ] lunacy that you were going through? I can relate. It wasn't self. We shot a little bit of the film in in Swalbard. Um, where's that? Yeah, it's kind of near the Arctic Circle. In the Arctic Circle, a Norwegian island up there. Um, and so so that was very cold and my head was, you know, naked. That's what I'm saying. And it would get

21:36 chilly. That's what I'm saying. No, no, no, no. It's not what you're saying. He was wearing a [ __ ] hat. It was cold. He was in the Arctic Circle. He was in the Arctic Circle. Not in the hottest city in the Well, well, no, I refused. I I refused the hat. There was a hat as part of the costume, but I said no to the hat because saying hi to the Hawks players as they were coming back from the road trip. Great win, fellas. Anyone cold? Sorry, Nick. Sorry, Nick. Slappy today. We are very Now, let's go. Let's go back. I was going to say the same. I said all the way go. Would you like to start it about a boy, Will? Is that where your question? I just want to know how it all started, Nick. How did you become you? You're so good at what you do. How did that all What was the beginning of your journey? What was the day that you woke up and went today? I want to be an actor. Yeah.

22:27 There's uh Well, I was lucky. My my my mom and dad weren't involved in the business, but my older brother and sister um my older brother really loved acting, and my older sister did a lot of singing and dancing and um and was very talented with that as well. So it kind of and now they hate you and now they detest me. No, they so they that was their hobby and passion and it kind of you know being the third sibling I kind of just ended up being like all right you end up in in dance classes or in like theater shows and whatever you kind of just get dragged. So it was kind of like the you know the family hobby in some ways that then through them being skilled managed to like get get lucky and get an agent and then kind of yeah um keep doing it and so it's Are they still doing it? Uh not at the moment.

23:07 No, my little sister still works in film. She works as an AD, but my brother's a forensic chemist and my my older sister uh teaches dancing um and stuff. So, yeah. So, that's Wait, your youngest is an AD? H That's awesome. That's the hardest job on the set. First AD. That and first AC. I think the Yeah, the the base running can be very difficult because you have to, you know, tell people to get out of their trailers a lot. Yeah, exactly. And some people don't want to link inviting. Sean, do you want to explain the AD department to Tracy or is that too long?

23:36 Sure. I don't that it's it's the assistant director, right? Yeah. First, hang on. You want to start with clarifying what the acronym is? No, but I meant like you said, I don't know what AC is. Assistant camera. Camera focus. No, but the the the assistant first assistant director and their job and then the people who work for then the second and the second. Those people are the people who in effect the skeleton of the film as it were. They keep the trains running on time. They do all the things. Their jobs are so immense. Yeah.

24:07 They don't they don't stop from Couldn't be more important. Couldn't be more important. Yeah. All right. Great. So, um About a word from our sponsor, do you think or No, we just want to leave a little break for the commercial. Um now, uh was was About a Boy the first uh project that you did or was it the first thing that really kind of like launched you into public uh viewing? Yeah, that was a that was that was a kind of a breakthrough, I guess. I' I'd been in a few things before in England, but yeah, that was the one that was like 11 with different.

24:41 Yeah, we were What was your first professional job? First professional job? I think I did a play when I was like three or four and then I did a film called Intimate Relations when I was five. Explain that one. Yeah. I mean, um, you know what? I remember the audition for that because it was very easy. I thought uh they would like I will sit under this table and pretend to eat cake rather than I can do that. I can do that. Yeah, sure. Good. All right. All right. Sean, that's how Sean does it now cuz he doesn't want anybody to know he's eating sugar so he goes.

25:12 Yeah. And I'm not even auditioning. Yeah. Now, uh, what what did that So, you're 11 and this this thing happens and I imagine it was a fun experience and then it comes out and it's kind of a big hit and were what was the adjustment from being just a kid to like like did your friends start to like say what what's Yeah. What's going on with you? And yeah, because that about a boy was so huge. Yeah. Uh, let's get into a bit of a therapy session here now. Yeah. Just lay down if you need to. Mhm. It Yeah, I suppose that was a bit weird because I was like, I don't know, fairly recognizable for a little bit through it. Um, but luckily it's also like one of those things where also like, you know, it's like kids don't care. They care and then they don't care and everything like passes so quickly that it's like one of those things, yeah, whatever. You just get on with life. Um, you're starting to get a bunch of

26:01 attention at school and some of the boys might not like that, right? Um, jealous. You know what? Most people were pretty nice. Most people were pretty nice. Yeah. Um yeah, it was it was it was kind of projecting but but it makes you self-conscious of yourself I suppose more than anything else. You're like of course I can imagine at that age. Yeah. Feeling like feeling like because some people are mentioning it and some people are looking at you and then you feel like is everybody looking at me and it would make you very self-conscious and if you're young especially in those adolescent years which are tough enough as it is it must be it must be quite tricky really. Yeah. You be you become like I suppose yeah even more of a version of like yeah just being like self-aware in a horrible in a horrible way which you probably don't want. Were you like were you like this was like a fun a fun hobby a good good reason to

26:50 mix to miss class and uh or or were you thinking great I've got a nice jump start on my career like did you decide this is what I'm going to do the rest of my life at that point? No because I I I everyone talks about how child actors often fall apart and fail and how it doesn't work out for them. So that like you're aware of that conversation. So you're kind of like h you know there's a good chance. So I would say I was my in the back of my mind I was like oh I like this. I'd like to carry on doing this. But also I was kind of reserved about it a little bit where I was like there's a good chance it doesn't work out. So don't like or Jason Jason you're not not you're not unfamiliar with the sensation? Yeah. So, did you did you like me when when it came time to like finish high school and and now it's like the decision about going on and going into college and actually studying up on a on a on an industry or an occupation?

27:36 What was that decision like? You had some momentum going at that moment? Did you make a decision like screw it, I'm all in? At that moment, I was lucky. I I I did a TV show in England called Skins. Um, and that we did the first series and then and then went and then found out that the second series was going to happen. And that was one of those things where it was around the time that I was starting my A levels, which is when you're 17, 18 in school. And I realized I was kind of like half focusing on on school and half focusing on work. And I wasn't really fully into either. So I was like, you know what? I'm just going to commit and then um give the acting a try and see how it goes and if I need I can come back to school. Yeah. And you thought maybe I'll give it three, four years, something like that cuz like that's like it's a it's a real roll of the dice, right? Because you'd have to go back into college and it's Yeah. It's

28:20 stressful. Yeah. And there wasn't anything that I was particularly good at either. What do you think you would have done if you had to do something different? I really have no idea because I'm not good at anything. That's what I always I say the same thing. I'm not joking. I always say I'm not good at anything. What would you have liked to have done if if you couldn't have acted? Oh, just be a race car driver. Rockstar or or a writer or something? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I enjoy watching F1. Yeah. Um but I don't know. I didn't I didn't really have a backup. But I think the one thing that like I like the eclectic mix that acting allows you to like do kind of be a jack of all trades.

28:53 Yeah. I don't think I I don't think I excel at anything particularly, but I can kind of dibble dabble a little bit in lots you get to do you get to do everything, you know, which you certainly have done. I mean I the the the the variance in projects that you that you do and filmmakers that you work with. I mean it's it's uh yeah a lot of people chase fame and other people chase the work and I and I feel it [ __ ] no just say it again cuz I've got a blank t-shirt I was looking to fill. And Nick, you always seem like you chase the work and you're not interested in any of the flash. Sean, what would you have done if you hadn't done this? I I I what this podcast?

29:40 No, I I'm with you guys. I don't know how to do anything else. I mean, I Were you drawn to anything at like a college? I mean, I thought I was going to be a conductor and I thought I was going to compose film scores. JB, what about you? What would you Sorry. What would you do if you could? The same thing you asked, Nick. What would you do if you could? I wanted to uh I I want to be an architect. I wanted to like design residential homes. Oh wow. You have to draw really well and I can't really draw. I just like I like architecture. I would I would have gone into that. I would have had to have a a partner that knew the math. But anything but any answer that you play out like architecture or whatever. Then you go I have to go to school and I have to learn like it's so there's so much work involved where acting it feels just like you're playing like like you're lucky enough. The trade-off with that is that

30:24 you've got no you've got no guarantee of employment, you know. I would have been I would have been a bartender at a club med. Just asking for beads. Yeah. Just [ __ ] it. Just [ __ ] it. Just flip-flops all the time and just [ __ ] it. Lighting cigarettes. WhatsApp. Just ride it out. Yeah. We'll be right back. And back to the show. But seriously, Nick, how do you how how are you picking your jobs? It seems like you're you're looking at uh kind of who's in it, who's directing it, kind of what's the quality of it as opposed to what's the star making potential of it.

31:05 No, no, no. I'm chasing fame and money. No, you're not. Like a rabid animal, but I just can't achieve. I'll bet you get a bunch of that lowhanging fruit pass right underneath your nose and you've been very disciplined. Yeah, I I I try to be. It's one of those where Yeah. I feel like I, you know, I just want to do good work and and and and have like when I'm sitting in my rocking chair in 50 years time looking back I can be like, "Oh yeah, you like you tried to really create special things each time you are. There any are there any roles and without naming names are there any roles that you turned down that you went like I wish I had done it?" your you know what I think I think for the first time there was maybe one where um the person got nominated for an Oscar really now did they play the part the way that you would have oh much better much better um that's always the thing whenever there's a role you don't get or

31:58 someone else does or whatever there's like there's always a thing where you watch it and you're like you're like oh yeah know I see different it's very classy that you're not mentioning what that is too I I think of some actors that they they mention and the only the person that feels like [ __ ] is the person who actually did the part because it's like oh so I was second back right but there's always that you know when whatever like there's always a list that goes through like the turnover of project I'm sure you guys see it all the time where it's like oh this script's been around for a minute and it was this person for a while and it's this person kind of like I'm just finishing up one of those Pedro Pascal was set to do the part on plane anyway um great I know right no I'm sorry I'm just imagining him and then he would have been Um, now what about uh what uh doing X-Men again? Scotty just [ __ ] just

32:47 grabbed the ceiling. Um that was uh he loves it. Uh I would so doing doing X-Men or like Mad Max or Superman like you are you are sneaking in some big commercial films as well. um those those that work process on that is uh it's you're only doing like a half a page a day and it's it's uh right the apparatus is just huge. Do you like doing that or do you prefer doing the smaller films where you're really chugging along and you got to do a bunch of pages a day and it's a lot of it's more acting than it is sort of uh stunts and effects and things like that. It it's different. I I really enjoy the stunt process of those things, but I for those bigger ones like that, it's more of like an experience.

33:32 I can clearly remember on MadMax where we'd be in the Namibian desert and you know they'd give the signal for every V8s and V12s and all these engines like start up around you and then you couldn't hear anything else apart from the thunder of that taking off across the desert and you're like wow in terms of life experiences that doesn't get that's cool any more exciting than that the hairs on my arms would stand up each time but then but then also yeah it's fun to then go and do like and I'm immediately thinking about all the dust And the how far base camp is from set.

34:06 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like you know what kind is it? Is it my umbrella umbrella near my chair? Cuz it's probably just really high. It is though. But to Jason's question, the comfort level of doing like an indie like a super small budget compared to when you're used to doing bigger films like that, you have to adjust your expectations about how the day is going to go in terms of comfort, right? It's not cushy on the on some of these, right? It's not. Yeah, it's it's bad. It's bad on the indies. Anyway, boy, lots not a question in there.

34:38 Two two hosts and not one question. Um, now how do you how do you like the whole how do you like the whole press part of it like doing crap like this and like it because when you do those bigger films and Superman certainly Yeah, I was just thinking about you saying July 11th, you know, the date obviously and it's something you worked on, but it's like this is the lead. I mean, you've you've got a you've got a long road ahead of you. Not to make it too daunting, I'm sorry, but you know that. Yeah. Those films. Yeah. So, listener, so so they you do these big films. They make you fly around. Not make you not sound like we're complaining, but um you do it is very uh bust the whole thing, all the chat and giggle stuff you got to do.

35:17 Yeah. How do you like doing that? You know what? I' I've tried to flip my thinking on it in like the last year and a bit or something. So where I was like ah I used to kind of not dread it there. There was part of me that was like oh it's quite fun but I guess that slight introvert part of me was like I don't know about you know and then I realized I've got to play I've got to like perform and play the game better of what it is. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Like you are you are ultimately a salesman at that point. Yeah. And I think somebody said to me a long time they don't pay you to do the movie. They pay you to promote it. Right. Right.

35:46 Right. And so when you look at it that way you go like okay this is the big this is a big part of the job right now. Yeah. So I've got to be a better salesman. Yeah. Right. Well, but you but as you said it and and I've been accused of this as well and I think they're right of being an introvert. I I I don't I'm This is not comfortable for me. I don't I wouldn't say that you're not an in you're boring. Like you know what I mean? Like I think and I think there's a distinction there. Do you know what I mean? My fear is I'm like I'm boring. I just want to stay at home. I want to go and do my acting and I hope people like it and then like that's kind of it.

36:17 Yeah. But it is effortful. It is effortful. Yeah. I'm but yeah there's a there's a certain ham gene a healthy ham gene that I don't well you feel like you're bragging is part of the problem right that and or also just like demanding attention even just and I've talked about it before making a toast I just cringe myself out standing up and and demanding attention well I you know what I I was thinking about you and the flipping and doing the toast and stuff and we had our friend's birthday recently a month ago and you guys went and I couldn't go because of work and and I was thinking about the toast and And and I remember I wrote that toast for for I still wrote it to have and Bradley delivered it. Well, even though even though I didn't go even talked about that, right? In the toast I made Bradley go. He does this whole thing. It was for Robert's birthday for Downey. And then he and then I said and Jason Bman I said,

37:07 "Jason, would you please stand up?" So Bradley's reading and he says, "Jason, would you please stand up?" Jason stands up and then Bradley reads, "Look at this. Look at this monkey. I can make him do anything I want. I'm not even here." Anyway, but the the roof died. It was very But the point but but but here's the flip, JB, which is and and it kind of goes along the lines of you're being paid to do it is making a toast is it's not about you. It think about it. It's about it's for the other person. So, you're making it about you and it shouldn't be. You're doing it.

37:38 So, I don't necessarily want to go and do it and I don't want to make a speech at somebody's birthday even though it seems like I do or I want the attention. you're doing it for that person because they want it. And if you look at it through that lens, it's much easier. That's a good point. Yeah. There was like a really interesting thing I was reading the other way and I'm butchering it completely, but what you said there was like being introverted is like a a self-centered thing in many ways. And when you're you kind of bold in an interaction instantly, it puts the other person at ease. Yeah. And I've got friends who I see do it all the time when they'll they'll meet someone for the first time and they'll instantly like break the ice so brilliantly and do these things where you're like, "Oh, wow." You can just see how well because because it's the work for I somebody told me a long time ago you're not

38:16 allowed to be shy after 9 years old because that just means you just don't want to do the work. And I will say this I'm not saying that JB that you're not a kind or or or or and and I don't think that you're self-centered. I think that it's much more you look at a guy like Kimmel. Kimmel goes out of his way and he does stuff and he hosts stuff and he get and he gives toast and he does it I mean endlessly endlessly and he does it because he's very openhearted about it and he understands that it's important to the other person to do it yeah right yeah I think about it that way I would I would do it much more you're right that feels good 56 that's why I've got your eulogy written right here it's ready I just finished it today well I talked to I talked Hey sid zoom after this is that cool just to go over it. Um, all right. I'd like to go back to Lex Luthther because this is a major movie that's I know. I

39:07 know. I love Superman. Did you have a Did you have a voice for him or is it your regular voice or did you I'm doing an American accent. I did I did a a voice. Yeah. Okay, good. I love that. I worked with I worked with an opera coach a little bit on Oh, really? Which sounds like then the voice is going to be so different, but I was just trying to place the voice differently to where my voice is. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I get it. That's cool. I love like like sort of like the top of your head type thing or something like that. You mean um trying to get it more from my my stomach I suppose and all that because sometimes particularly when you're then doing an accent it's like it becomes because you're trying to change everything in your mouth and throat in terms of how you're saying the sounds.

39:42 Yeah. It can become placed there a little bit differently and stuff. Um yeah. How do you like doing the the American accent? Is it easy to you? Um yeah, I was going to just ask that. I wouldn't say it's easy because then when I do a bad one, everyone will be like, "Not that easy." Is it comfortable? How about that? It get It gets comfortable is the is the That's the aim whenever you like I'm just dying to work on this new accent for this new thing and it's kind of it's an American accent, but it's different to what I've done before. So then instantly it becomes like at the moment it still sounds alien in my head, you know? It's like and then and then hopefully with enough repetition by the time we get to shooting it will feel like something that I can be like right now are you just working on are you just working on the on the material that you've got to work on for the film or are you trying to inhabit it sort of in

40:28 the dayto-day when you're doing the dishes etc. playing with the kids trying to get that those American cadences etc. Uh oh. Oh nice work well. Did I froze him out? Yeah, he just Let's take a quick little look see here. Can you guys hear me? Yes. There you are. Now we can. Yes. Sorry. I don't know what happened. Here he comes in video. Hold on. I'm sweating now. You're sweating. Yeah. Here we go. This is going to be Nick. This is going to be this is going to be uh seamless. Uh my question was do you do you do the accent all day or do do you just like around kids like do you just do it for the material that you're working on or do you try to do it incorporate into your dayto-day and like when you're doing the dishes and playing with the kids etc. I I I don't do it at home. I like but I'll do it hope depends it depends on how long I'm doing the character and stuff but yeah I'll normally perhaps stay in

41:20 it throughout the day film I like in the morning warm up and like get into it and then try and stay in it for the day and then like at the end of the day I'll go home and I won't talk in it. Do you ever do it around your kids and your kids are like, "Dad, what do you I don't understand you. I don't understand." Occasionally I'll be like, "Cuz I sometimes

41:42 Hey, Will, have you played golf since you've been done with the movie?" I went to the range yesterday. Boy, I figured something out. Oh, did you? And we have Nick with us here. Check. Check. Here we go. He's back. Nick Holt. Yes. There he is. Nick, do you play the golf? Do you play golf at all? I I do play I do play the golf. Not very well. Um because we were talking about golf during the intermission there. Um so you're know do you all play? Uh uh we do. Sean does not. Sean can drive the hell out of the car. Jason and I play. Uh Sean did come to a golf tournament with us once, but he did not play. Um you're not good because you don't play that much because you're working all the time. Yes. I Yeah, I I'm not consistent enough. Like when I'm on one, it's all right. Looks like we lost him again.

42:28 Please stand by. Yeah. By the way, you know, there are certain names, right, that have a cache, that have a thing. Yeah. Nick Holt. Nicholas Holt sounds like a star name. That's a star name. Sure. You know what I mean? You know, let me let me can I can I run one by you that I don't think is it. It's just it's impossible. You're going to say my name. Will Arnette. Yeah. Is just something that's just it's sort of like oh well that's fine. That's fine. You know Sean Hayes kind of boring. It's like oh it's kind of foggy. I can't really see through it. You know it's easy. It's you can't make anything out of Sean Hayes.

43:04 Sean Hayes sounds like your sister's friend. You know who's like a graphic designer. You know who I saw at the mall? I saw [ __ ] Sean Hayes. Oh. Oh yeah. I remember him from high school. That's it. He sounds like somebody like your sister's friend from high school and now you're 50 and you're like, "Oh yeah, I thought that guy died." Yeah, that sadly that's true. There we are. Nick Halt. Nick Halt. Nick Halt is back. H he's not back and more frozen than ever. Yeah. Well, we Bobby, is he trying to join back in? No, I just heard from him and I think there's something going on with his laptop.

43:39 Well, listen. We lost Nicholas Hol. We have got a real spotty connection there. But you want to know what a guy that busy, we're we're thankful to get the amount of time that we had, right? And uh this guy is a talent and a charmer. And um again, the hair did not disappoint. The jawline did not disappoint. Good looking. Good looking guy. Good looking guy. Very well spoken.
