11:57 so that was like a cool thing i was like okay cool it's gianni that's just my character no big deal call me whatever man ████ me you know when you play hockey like there's always like fights and stuff right has there been a time where it didn't need to be a fight but you're just trying to find any reason to just start sucking on a dude in hockey oh yeah all the time oh all the time yeah i got in a fight three weeks ago in a men's league hockey game i beat the ████ out of some old guy and it feels good it didn't feel great but he um for no for no reason he got his stick with one hand and just uh and just hit my hand for no reason i'm like because you were crushing them i got to go work like it was crazy and i have i'm like a hot head so i just turned around i took off my gloves my helmet and i just started feeding this guy and then
12:47 yeah it was actually my last game before i had to go to new york and start filming again so they're like you got a four game suspension i was like i'm thumping the season anyways ████ yeah what's the under what uh like context can you get into a fight and hockey it's for any like we could just i could just start sucking them for no reason usually in professional hockey like say for an example your team is down by like four or five goals the fighter is like okay i gotta ████ like spark this up or something i gotta gotta change this round there's that there's that is like the most common or if someone um uh like absolutely lays out one of your players you're like i can't let this happen and the enforcer goes and beats the ████ out of the guy if you throw gloves though i don't know ████ about hockey by the way but if you throw gloves my understanding is as as if the other guy throws gloves then you guys can have a fight but otherwise you go in the penalty box correct okay gotcha yeah okay would you rather do uh if you were if you were down to choosing
13:38 between two huge hockey movies to be a actor in would you rather it be a comedy or a drama that is a great question yeah mighty does it wouldn't matter a comedy or drama it would just be like who's um who wrote it who's attached to it who are the other people in it so because i my character in power is literally like one scene he's like a ████ hard drug dealer and then the next scene he's like so what the ████ we guys what are we doing today like there's no like you can't put a pulse on my character like he's dark and then he's comedy so every day it's different so i just live in that world anyway so it's kind of all the same to me um it would just be who's who's attached better and you know stuff like that we've reached the 12 minute and 57 mark this is part of show where we like to um
14:28 turn up the heat change the temperature into the heat and it goes up so um would you yes i've hooked up with a guy dude chill out okay how do you guys ████ watch it for me that's actually good i'm kidding i'm kidding do you have any serious life regrets um no because everything i've ever done has led me to this moment um and maybe if i did one thing that i shouldn't have then you know i wouldn't be here so i feel like you just learn and you get to a place where like you're here what has been the greatest challenge of your life because everything sounds glorious i mean not like you got an astronaut in the ████ world and you're just ████ powerful i put a lot of positivity out but like i went through some ████ hard times like where i was homeless i didn't eat like i worked three restaurant jobs like i was taking six acting classes a week like i got my car repossessed like i didn't end up homeless
15:19 my lease ended on my apartment new york la i was here i was just paying some guy like a sublime he's like he thought he was gonna stay another month he's like i gotta come back uh next week and i was like ████ so i literally uh didn't have a place to stay i had my hockey bag with my clothes in it and i was walking around l.a like i'm ████ like i don't know what to do how much money on the bank account like ten dollars maybe like nothing like i was like i'm ████ like i just got to figure something out and luckily there was a guy who's still one of my best friends this day is my writing partner he let me stay with them um for two weeks and i wound up um you know getting a i still had a restaurant job but every dollar i had just went into classes just got invested back in my career i didn't put i didn't put anything into like any type of enjoyment like it was literally everything for so that's why i'm like i'm super positive i'm like yeah i'm here like everything's great but like i went to some hard ████ times um
16:11 and i think that's a given because you guys are all here right now of course you went through hard times to get to this place um i just feel like it's kind of cheesy like yeah like i slept in my car this night it's like yeah everyone had a hard time you know um sometimes feeling a ████ pillow in the bed you're just like this is ████ luxury yeah yeah that's joe still yeah yeah yeah yeah especially when he's high yeah he's wearing the pillow for a long time like we gotta drill yeah sometimes it's the pillow and sometimes it's the foursome with three girls you know what i mean it's like ████ this guy i know i just kidding i'm kidding i stumbled into a and i got these four girls in my car i'm like this car's not big enough for all of us i gotta get a job i gotta do better
17:02 man i gotta make it out the hood man was there ever a co-star that you had that you were intimidated to work with octavia spencer yeah for sure right what was that like working with her um it was i was in so the first time i ever had a chemistry read with her i read from ma like four times i had a chemistry with with her and the second i walked in and she goes oh we got a young tom cruise like immediately made me feel comfortable and i was like oh dope crushed the audition booked it but then i was like oh that was her making me feel comfortable now she's in work mode when we get to set i get to set the first day she's in the makeup trailer in wigs like dancing and singing with the mop like all this stuff when she had to like murder someone and i'm like i ████ with this girl and she was just immediately like cool as ████ um and yeah since then she's helped me so much like my career life like everything um so would you do a sex scene with her a hundred percent how much money i think
17:53 she's beautiful like she's like her personality she's just like such like like when she speaks like you're just like i just think she's the ████ greatest person how much money we have to pay you to text her right now and call her octi they uh her nickname's rock oh right how did that happen yeah okay most close yeah but i i don't think i would uh text her and just say hey octi it's braided you know when you crush an audition it's a it's a feeling and a look that's what i always say like like you're like okay i was in it and i wasn't in my mind like oh my god they're all looking at me as i'm saying my lines are as i'm shooting because sometimes you're in it but it's still not what they're looking for yeah you're right you are right but just provide some context we've never crushed an audition
18:48 what they're looking for and crushing it yes crushing it is i did what i prepared and what i wanted to do and it went exactly according to plan the way i prepared this character i was in the moment i was listening and responding and i don't know i wasn't in my head that's crushing it to me now they'll call you and go yeah you're totally wrong for the part um that doesn't mean like oh i didn't do well but i know four girls i want to bang you yeah that's how the person happens in my mind that it doesn't mean like i didn't do well it's just like oh i just wasn't what they're looking for you know that's what they such a casting director bro i'm sorry you didn't get the part yo i know three four girls that are ready to ████ you right now and they're gonna be great for your couch by the way i don't know they're gonna be there you guys are gonna have great chemistry yeah that's awesome good for you man
19:38 okay what was your worst sexual experience for ████ sakes for ████ sake the worst sexual experience um i i mean all right so this is it's not it wasn't like i've never really had like a terrible sexual experience of course not god of course not um i mean there's a couple where i would like really like regret it and i was like oh i only lasted two hours one time [Laughter] i was like her teeth your teeth were so big that was dangerous back there i should be careful there was one time where i i only made someone come like four times and that was like that was that was rough only yeah that's a bird [Laughter] no i don't know there was one time where there was like a beautiful girl in my high school and i finally hooked up with her and i wanted to for like years and we had sex behind a sushi restaurant
20:29 she was like a tall model so her legs couldn't fit in my back seat so and i just remember um uh i had hooked up actually like i'm such a douchebag dude like you guys are like oh ████ this kid i hooked up i hooked up with a girl like two hours before this she had two hours before this and then i left my friend's house and i was heading home and this girl texts me she's like i just broke up my boyfriend i just like need to get him off my mind like i want to hang out with you so i like ripped my car out and i was like yeah ████ yeah so i went to her house and i picked her up and went by the sushi restaurant and i just had just hooked up with someone and for some reason like the way her legs are positioned i could not get hard so i was like hooking up with like this beautiful girl and i literally was like no it's ████ dude it's just like it's perfect and i was like hitting it i was like and i just couldn't get hard it's working
21:19 i think i like kind of like you know you do this orgasm um but then i'm not but then so then i went to go take her home and she was like well i'll just uh blow you while um while you drive so i was like okay whatever so who are you bro i know i'm sensitive she's like why don't you do it i don't want to i don't want to seem like it i'm such a nice guy i donate to the chicks i don't hate to save it we'll end it [Laughter] so i'm driving her home i'm driving her home and she's blowing me so the ca uh i get pulled over oh no and then the cop starts blowing [Laughter] and there's a cop the cop keeps me
