00:00 Guys, I had such a fun time watching this. Genuinely. So good. I know one of the things
00:06 that was said about Patrick Swayze in the original is that they thought he'd be bigger
00:10 and that was not an issue with you.
00:11 That's right. That's true.
00:12 Jay, like, you put in the work.
00:15 Well he put in the work too.
00:16 I know you did. Right, yes. Let's not take that away from it. But honestly, like, I guess
00:21 going up against Connor is always going to be a little bit daunting, I imagine.
00:25 Oh yes, not a little bit, yes.
00:28 Did you get a chance to spar with him at all during or before anything?
00:32 No, we did only fake fighting. No, I don't, no. Sparring with him? No, no, no. But I,
00:40 you know, yeah, I mean, part of it was just to be able to work with him and learn from
00:43 him about the fight game. He, before we started, he said, you know, to me, he's like, I'm a
00:48 white belt in making movies and acting and I'm here to learn. And I felt the same way
00:52 about him. I was like, and I said the same. And he would instruct me and give me direction
00:57 and show me things. And we were constantly changing stuff up. But yeah, there came a
01:02 point where we were in the middle of these, you know, combinations or fighting where I
01:06 just thought, what am I doing?
01:12 But he was a real professional in that space. And I was like, it was an honour to be working
01:18 with him in that space. Learn from the fight, like the fighting stuff.
01:21 So in the movie, obviously, Dalton is staying on a boat. And I'm curious, he goes on about
01:28 having boat dreams. I'm curious whether either of you two have had any boat dreams or any
01:34 weird stuff like that?
01:36 Like dreams generally?
01:37 Well, yes.
01:38 No, my dreams are not weird. No, no, I mean, who has like not weird dreams?
01:43 I've had two of my friends today said they had dreams about me last night. So I think
01:46 they're having weird dreams.
01:47 Really?
01:48 Yeah.
01:49 Maybe you need to talk.
01:50 Hopefully nice. I've had boat dreams. Haven't you had boat dreams? I've had like...
01:56 What's the difference between boat dreams and like lucid dreaming?
01:58 Well, I guess I'm guessing it was a big thing in here that he had weird boat. They must
02:02 be crazy.
02:03 It's a known thing that when you are like being rocked like that and sort of changes,
02:07 I guess, your equilibrium that people dream differently. And that's why she mentions it
02:11 in the movie. But on boats, yeah, I mean, I've spent a lot of time in my life on boats
02:17 and sailboats and things and slept on them and slept on the water, even when it's docked,
02:22 you know, which that boat is in the movie. And I mean, I can't tell you the dreams I've
02:26 had. I don't remember them. But I do remember always being like, whoa, that was like...
02:31 Not boat dreaming, but a lot of lucid dreaming that whenever I wake up, it's like I've been
02:36 living another life. It's crazy.
02:39 I love that. I love that. I wish you could go back into that.
02:42 I love that. You've been in your friend's dream. You've just been walking around in
02:45 your friend's dream.
02:46 I'm going to try and infiltrate your dreams. That's the plan. Are there any other Patrick
02:53 Swayze films that you think that you would like to try your hand at? Because I mean,
02:59 we've seen some dancing from you, Jake, in Demolition.
03:02 Oh, yeah, yeah.
03:03 So I wonder whether you could do a little bit of dirty dance.
03:06 Would you call that dancing?
03:07 I mean...
03:08 Is that gone?
03:09 I mean, no. I think I've done the one, but man, so many of his movies. I mean...
03:18 I love Ghost.
03:19 You could carry a watermelon.
03:20 I love Ghost. Yeah, for me, I love Ghost. That would be something that I would be curious.
03:27 Yeah, that was the first Patrick Swayze film I ever saw. I would love that.
03:31 My sister took me to see that. I think I saw it three or four times with her in the theatre
03:35 when I was...
03:36 Really?
03:37 Yeah, and I remember watching it like this. Like, my arms were on the seat. I remember
03:40 that.
03:41 Oh, I love that. And obviously, because that was an 80s movie, which 80s trend do you think
03:48 the other could pull off?
03:50 I would say the hair.
03:51 Choose on the edge area.
03:52 You think he could pull off the big hair?
03:53 Oh, like the Swayze hair?
03:56 Something would go well with it. Anything would go well with it.
03:58 How about Daniela? What could she pull off in there?
04:01 I mean, I think you could pull off any 80s look. I don't think there's like... There's
04:05 nothing that wouldn't...
04:06 The only thing that I would never wear, neon collars.
04:08 Really?
04:09 I was just about to say you'd pull off great neon collars.
04:11 Really?
04:12 You have a great skin tone for it. Yeah, everything.
04:13 I don't know. It's not my thing.
04:14 Scrunchies, I think she's definitely...
04:15 I mean, scrunchies are coming back. Well, they are back. Scrunchies are back.
04:21 Scrunchie slap bracelets. I'm trying to think. Garbage pill kids. There's a lot.
04:25 I don't even know what's that.
04:27 I mean, I don't know what the last one is either.
04:29 You don't?
04:30 No.
04:31 Okay, great. Well, maybe that's actually because you're British.
04:33 Yes.
04:34 I think that the garbage pill kids maybe is more American.
04:36 I'll go Google it.
04:37 Yeah, Google it.
04:38 Yeah, I'll Google it.
04:39 Google it.
04:40 Like I said, it's a really fun movie and you did a great job with it.
04:43 Thank you so much.
04:44 Good luck with it when it comes out, guys. Thank you so much.
04:46 Thank you so much.
