00:00It did not taste like a creamsicle at all.

00:02I loved auditioning.

00:04I hated auditioning.

00:05Bit of a diva.

00:06Very much a diva.

00:07Do you like that?

00:08Yeah.

00:08I'll keep doing it.

00:09Important question first.

00:11Sydney, who was the better co-star,

00:13Ben or the little dog?

00:15That's easy.

00:16That's easy, Ben.

00:17Oh.

00:19No, no.

00:21I, of course, I love being able to work with animals.

00:25Dogs are my favorite.

00:26I feel like they always ground you in reality in a scene

00:28because you never know what's going to happen.

00:30But unfortunately, that dog did not want to be in any scene.

00:34That dog did not want to be there.

00:36And we would have to figure out ways around.

00:38Like, there were many scenes that the dog was supposed to be

00:40in that we had to take out because the dog just

00:44was in his own world.

00:46It's like the star of his own show.

00:47Bit of a diva.

00:48Very much a diva.

00:49Very much a diva.

00:50You went there.

00:50Wanted to stay in the hair and makeup trailer long.

00:53Never want to hit a mark.

00:55Didn't like being told what to do.

00:56Smoking and drinking.

00:57Yeah.

00:59The dog did not want to go.

01:01Such different looks for you, obviously.

01:05Both of you, I would say.

01:06What was it like seeing yourselves as Jim and Christy

01:11for the first time?

01:11We redid the cover of Sports Illustrated,

01:14of Christy's Sports Illustrated cover.

01:16And so I had the wig.

01:17I put the contacts in for the first time.

01:20Full costume.

01:21And we had her poster and we were replicating it.

01:24And they pulled up one of our shots on the computer

01:29and put her poster right next to it.

01:31And I was like, that was the first time.

01:33I was like, whoa.

01:34I've completely lost myself.

01:37Yeah.

01:37I've never seen you like that.

01:38Sydney, what was your least favorite part of training?

01:43The protein shakes were so gross.

01:47Oh, I had to like plug my nose and just chug.

01:50I would mix it with Gatorade.

01:52And then we would put like L-carnit and creatine and protein

01:56powder and all this stuff in it.

01:58And would shake it up.

01:59And they would try to convince me that if I put it

02:02in the orange Gatorade and I did the vanilla protein,

02:04that would be like a creamsicle.

02:06It did not taste like a creamsicle at all.

02:08That was difficult.

02:10And it got to a point where I was eating so much food

02:12that I could, I was like, I can't, I'm going to get sick.

02:15But I had to keep going.

02:16I think that was, that was the hardest part.

02:18That was it.

02:18Obviously, Christy, she found something that she was good at.

02:22Like when other people really doubted that she could have

02:25a career in it.

02:27I'm curious for both of you, because you've obviously,

02:29being an actor is an unconventional job.

02:32I would say in the same way.

02:34Can you remember that moment where you were like,

02:36oh, I'm really good at this.

02:37And like other people may not think this is a career,

02:39but I know I can do this.

02:41I don't know if I ever had the moment of,

02:43oh, I'm really good at this.

02:45I've had the moment of, oh, I love this.

02:49And I want to do this forever.

02:52And honestly, it was during auditioning.

02:55I loved auditioning.

02:56I hated auditioning.

02:58Really?

02:59It was making me nauseous.

03:01I was so terrified.

03:02Well, I'd be so scared too, but it was so fun trying

03:04all these different characters.

03:05I mean, I would get told no, like more often than not.

03:08But I still enjoyed like the constant prep.

03:13And because now we focus on one character for so long,

03:16but during the audition process, I mean,

03:17sometimes you have two, three auditions a day.

03:19Yes.

03:20And I mean, this was 10 years ago.

03:23I don't know what auditioning.

03:2430 years ago.

03:25But it was always so fun being able to like prep all these

03:30different characters.

03:31I loved it.

03:32Do you remember when yours was, Ben?

03:34I was doing a play.

03:35It wasn't, I'm really good at this.

03:37It was, it was, it was doing a play.

03:39It was, it was, and I kind of just checked out.

03:44And then I realized that it's back on stage and,

03:48and people seem to like it.

03:49And, and I think that was a real hit of drugs for me,

03:54was kind of a blackout.

03:57Uh, and people seem to like what happened.

04:00I was like, I have no idea whether you like that.

04:03Yeah, I'll keep doing it.

04:04Well, we're still liking it right now.

04:06Even now you guys are killing it in this one.

04:09Congratulations.

04:10Good luck.

04:11Lovely to meet you.

04:12Nice to meet you.

04:14Take care.
