YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FINDING THE TIME TO CHAT TO US.
THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US, CHRISTMAS IS HERE, WHAT GETS
KEVIN BACON INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT?
ARE YOU LISTENING TO CHRISTMAS SONGS AROUND THE HOUSE AND ALL
THOSE SORTS OF THINGS?
>> I CAN'T STAND CHRISTMAS SONGS.
I HATE TO BE A SCROOGE, I'M THE WORST WITH CHRISTMAS SONGS.
IF I HEAR DA-DA-DA-DA, I'M JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW.
IT JUST COMES TOO EARLY.
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I MEAN, WHAT'S A CHRISTMAS SONG I LIKE?
>> James: I DON'T LIKE THIS ONE BIT.
I DON'T LIKE THIS ONE BIT.
>> I'M SO SORRY.
>> James: I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE, REALLY.
( LAUGHTER ) NOW, CHRISTMAS IS A TIME A LOT
OF PEOPLE GIVE YOU PRESENTS, BUT YOU GIFTED YOUR WIFE KIERA
SEDRIC A PAIR OF GOATS.
>> YES.
>> James: WE HAVE A PHOTO OF YOU HERE WITH SAID GOATS.
>> YES.
>> James: YOU'RE LISTENING TO MUSIC.
THIS ONE HERE, WHAT'S IT LIKE WITH GOATS AS PETS?
DO YOU SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH THEM?
>> I DO, ACTUALLY.
SHE LOVES THEM AND SHE HAD TO GO TO LOS ANGELES TO SHOOT AND THE
GOATS ARE ON THE EAST COAST, BUT I GO DOWN THERE AND I'LL TAKE A
GUITAR.
THEY'RE VERY, VERY AFFECTIONATE.
I HAVE A DOG THAT IS NEVER REALLY ALL THAT HAPPY TO SEE ME.
SHE'S A GOOD DOG.
SHE'S NOT LIKE AN AFFECTIONATE DOG, BUT OUR GOAT MACON, I COME
IN AND HE JUST RUNS RIGHT UP AND JUST WANTS ME TO PLAY WITH HIM
AND HUG HIM AND, YOU KNOW, KISS ME.
I MEAN, HE'S VERY AFFECTIONATE.
SO, YOU KNOW, I NEED A LITTLE BIT OF THAT DURING THIS TRYING
TIME.
>> James: OH, I LOVE -- THAT'S REALLY MADE ME THINK ABOUT
GETTING A GOAT.
JUST TO HAVE AROUND THE OFFICE.
JUST FOR A BIT OF -- BIT OF AFFECTION, YOU KNOW, GUILLERMO.
ME AND YOU, WE COULD SHARE A GOAT.
>> PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ABOUT GOATS RIGHT NOW.
>> James: WE COULD SHARE A GOAT.
( LAUGHTER ) >> I DON'T WANT TO -- NO.
>> James: YOU DON'T WANT TO SHARE A GOAT.
>> IT'S A BIG COMMITMENT.

>> James: DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
GUILLERMO DOESN'T WANT A GOAVMENT FORGET IT.
( LAUGHTER ) KEVIN, YOU ACCIDENTALLY FOUND
YOURSELF MAKING ASMR VIDEOS ONLINE.
>> YEAH.
>> James: DID YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT ASMR WAS?
>> I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS.
I WAS MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT THE WAY I EAT MANGO, AND KIERA WAS
ASLEEP UPSTAIRS, SO I WAS WHISPERING AND SAYING, THIS IS
THE WAY I SLICE THE MANGO, AND I DON'T WANT TO WAKE HER YOU WERE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, EVERYONE SAID THIS IS A GREAT ASMR VIDEO, AND
I HAD TO GOOGLE IT.
I HAD NO IDEA.
>> James: ARE YOU OPEN TO THIS AS A NEW CAREER?
>> SURE.
YEAH, YEAH.
NO, I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW, LIKE, PREPARATION FOR A ZOOM,
YOU WANT TO JUST LOOK INTO YOUR CAMERA AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOUR HAIR IS FALLING IN THE RIGHT KIND OF WAY BECAUSE YOU'VE
GOT AN IMPORTANT ZOOM COMING UP.
( LAUGHTER ) HOW WAS THAT?
>> James: I'M FEELING BOTH RELAXED AND AROUSED AT THE SAME
TIME.

A COUPLE OF DUMB THINGS.
I MEAN, THOSE ARE MOUSE TRAPS.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: RIGHT.
THOSE ARE MOUSE TRAPS ON THE COUCH.
>> James: OKAY.
I'LL EXPLAIN WHY.
THAT'S SOME KIND OF LIKE -- YOU NEED A LITTLE HEAD.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT THE REASON IS BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW, EVERYBODY NEEDS A LITTLE HEAD EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
THE REASON I HAVE THE MOUSE TRAPS IS BECAUSE THIS IS MY DOG.
>> James: OH!
AND, YOU KNOW, SHE LIKES TO JUMP UP ON THE COUCH.
>> James: RIGHT.
AND THE MOUSE TRAPS KEEP HER OFF THE COUCH.
THEN THIS IS MY OTHER DOG.
THIS IS PAULEY.
>> James: HANG ON.
THE MOUSE TRAPS KILL THEM.
( LAUGHTER ) HANG ON A MINUTE.
WAIT A SECOND.
IT'S JUST A COUCH, KEVIN.
>> PAULEY'S IN HERE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO SEE OF HIM, BUT HE IS HERE.
>> James: OH!
I LOVED HIM SO MUCH AND WE KEEP HIM IN THE LIVING ROOM.
IN FACT, I WAS JUST -- OPIATE WHY THIS HAPPENED THE OTHER
NIGHT, BUT I GUESS IT'S LIKE WE CALL IT, YOU KNOW, COVID RULES.
I WAS LOOKING AT OLD PICTURES OF PAULEY AND JUST SITTING IN BED
CRYING, JUST, YOU KNOW, THINKING ABOUT HIM.
>> James: OH!
BUT LUCKILY, I STILL HAVE THIS ONE.
>> James: THIS GUY DOWN THERE.
OH, THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL, KEVIN.

DRUMS.
>> Reggie: SICK.
>> James: BECAUSE WITHOUT THE DRUMS, IT AIN'T A ROCK BAND.
