[Tom whistles melodically]
- [Rachel] That's impressive.
- That made me nervous, why does that--
- Yeah, you were shaking.
I know, did you see my lips quivering?
- Yeah, I was nervous for you.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. [playful electronic music]
Hi, I'm Tom Blyth.
- I'm Rachel Zegler.
- And I'm Josh Andres Rivera.
- We are the cast of the Hunger Games.
- Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
- And today, we're gonna be competing against each other
to see how well we know our friend Tom Blyth.
- All right, let's get it going.
- Okay. [playful music]
- Okay, first question.
What is my biggest fear?
- [laughs] Oh no, it's kind of funny to
look at you and be like, let me guess. [laughs]
Let me guess, you don't wanna die alone.
I have a guess.
- I mean, mine is gonna be
probably a little bit more shallow,
but I think I got a guess, too.
[Tom laughs] - Mine's the opposite.
You have a fear of like open water.
- Ooh. - Okay you don't.
- What, is that your guess?
- [Rachel] Yeah, that's my guess.
- Okay, Josh?
- I was gonna say mountain lions.
[Rachel laughs]
- In what ways is that more shallow?
- I thought-- - You ever seen Tarzan?
- I thought you were gonna say something like conceptual.
- Actually, ironically, and this is like my childhood fear,
which I've since gotten over.
- Yeah. - Snakes.
- That's so funny. - Yeah,
I was, he was afraid of snakes as a kid
because I saw Indiana Jones a lot.
- Yeah, that'll do it. - I'd watch a lot
of Indiana Jones, and because he was afraid of snakes,
I think that fear transferred onto me.
- Because cool people can be afraid of snakes.
- Because cool people are afraid of snakes.
So to be cool, you have to be afraid of snakes.
- Yeah, yeah.
- On set, we had two live snakes and Tom never let on
that you were afraid. - I'm not anymore.
You were there on set. - I did a lot of therapy.
- I know. - With snakes.
- So that's not your biggest fear.
- So it's technically not.
- It was my biggest childhood fear.
It's the one that first comes to mind
if you ask me that question.
Who is my ideal dinner guest?
- This is not anything that has ever come up.
- I know, Kafka. [laughs]
I'm gonna say Francis Lawrence,
director of The Hunger Games. [Josh laughs]
To be fair, we have all been his dinner guests,
and he's the best dinner host.
- He's a great dinner guest,
or host rather. - Yeah.
- He knows all the hot spots.
- And I feel like you, that's your ideal,
somebody who can tell you about the wine
and loves the food.
- Yeah, well that's Josh's ideal.
Francis turned Josh into a fake wino.
- I'm not a fake, I'm a real wino now.
- He's still mad. [Tom laughs]
He's still mad about it.
- What was the question?
- His ideal dinner guest.
- You know, Cyndi Lauper.
- Sure, okay, I think it would be David Bowie.
- Yeah, I wasn't gonna get that.
- Which is, I just think it'd be a lot fun.
- We're doing terrible.
- Okay, so that's again, no points for Josh or Rachel.
- I think I made a compelling argument.
- Yeah. - I'm gonna give myself
a point in my head.
- I think you'll get the next one.
- Oh, me?
- Okay, maybe, actually, I think I've told you this.
- That makes it worse. [laughs]
- What is my go-to karaoke song?
- I didn't go to karaoke with you.
- [Tom] Because we did go to karaoke.
- I didn't go to karaoke with you guys.
- I don't think you sang, though.
- I did sing. - Oh no, okay.
I'm gonna say, it was definitely like,
some punk rock thing.
- Do you want a clue?
- Yes. - What, no.
- Okay, no.
- You also get a clue too, then.
- Yeah, but I wasn't there.
- Well, I might as well have not been there.
I don't remember. - I will give you a clue.
It's probably not what you would expect.
- I don't really. - Mambo Number Five.
- Mambo Number five from Josh, what's your guess?
- I'm gonna say--
- No, I'm gonna change mine to All the Small Things.
- All the Small Things, okay.
- I'm gonna say I Miss You by Blink 182.
- Oh wow, we're in like a real like 2000s--
♪ Where are you ♪
- Yeah, like, those are the ones.
- What is it?
- The answer is, somewhat surprisingly,
Senorita by Justin Timberlake.
I think because I like the challenge.
[Tom laughs]
It really goes hard on the falsetto.
- [laughing] Oh my god.
- There is not-- - There is no way, yeah.
- I know, I told you you wouldn't expect it.
- You did not sing it together, though, so no way.
- I was not gonna get that in a million years.
- I actually think we did.
I'm honestly sure we did. - Do you know Senorita?
- I don't think I know the words to the song.
- Well, that's the point of karaoke,
they're up on the screen.
- That's not the point of karaoke.
- How does it--
- You don't need to know the words.
Anyway, moving on.
What is my favorite mode of New York transportation?
You should both know this one.
- Wait, no, of New York transportation, like--
- Oh, okay, I'm gonna rephrase it.
What is my favorite mode of transport
to get around New York?
- You have a motorcycle.
- You do have a motorcycle.
I'm gonna say motorcycle. - Do you motorcycle around?
- It's a motorcycle.
- Motorcycle, and I'm gonna take an extra step
and say, I think it's a Honda.
- The answer is motorcycle, but Josh is wrong.
It's not a Honda, so at that point goes to Rachel.
[point dings]
Sorry, Josh.
- This is what happens when you give 110%.
[Rachel and Tom laugh]
Is this the example that we wanna set?
- For our children? - For the youth of America?
- Okay, so Rachel gets one point.
Josh gets three-quarters of a point.
- He gets 75% of a point. - 75%, ridiculous.
- Next question, if I wasn't an actor,
what would my profession be?
Like, my other dream profession.
- I wanna say something really interesting
like a wildlife photographer.
But that's what I wanna be.
- Okay.
- Is this if you were not in the industry whatsoever,
or just not an actor?
- I'll give you a clue.
It is not in the industry.
It's not in our industry. - Okay, there we go.
I like thinking you're gonna be a wildlife photographer,
'cause I feel like you could be really still,
and then the jaguars would,
the mountain lions would come up to you,
which you're so deathly afraid of.
- The mountain lions, and the snakes.
- I wanna say, I'm gonna say architect.
- Oh, okay. - That's nice.
- Well, it's not it because you were surprised by it.
- No, no, but I'm glad you think I'm sophisticated enough
to want to be-- - I do think
you're sophisticated.
- To be a, the answer actually, since I was a kid,
I've always thought if I wasn't gonna be an actor,
I'd wanna be a safari park ranger.
- Really close.
- Wait, I was close!
- And you were pretty close,
so I think that's like 0.75 for Rachel.
- I'll take it. [Tom laughs]
- Yeah.
- Next question, what is my coffee order?
- I think you drink black coffee.
- Yeah.
- Is that my order?
Everyone drinks black coffee.
- I say an almond milk latte.
Or an oat milk latte.
Oat milk latte.
I'm changing my answer to oat milk latte.
- I think it's just a coffee with with almond milk.
No, that's mine.
I'm gonna say a coffee with a little bit of cream
and some sugar, why not?
- My answer actually is oat milk latte.
- No way! [laughs]
- So that is a point to Rachel.
She just pulled ahead from Josh's 0.75.
- [laughs] To be fair--
- You look so pissed.
You look so pissed right now.
- You're so mad.
- What is my biggest pet peeve?
- So many things come to mind that annoy Tom.
[Tom laughs]
- Am I a grumpy old man to you?
- You are a grumpy old? - Oh man.
- No you're not, you're not.
But you're opinionated, and you make it known,
and I love that about you.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- Tom has always been so relaxed and easy-going.
Go ahead and put a point on the board.
[Rachel laughs]
- Yeah, that that point goes to Josh.
One point to Josh.
- I actually feel like,
it's people who, it's wasted time.
You don't like wasted time.
- Okay, that's pretty good.
I'm gonna say loud chewers.
- That actually is correct. - Yeah!
Josh is on the board.
- [Tom] That is it actually, exactly.
- Told you I'd get it back.
- Good job. - You're on a roll man.
[Rachel laughs]
Okay,
- Listen, I'm one away from being tied.
- Hey, hey. [laughs]
- What was my first job?
- [Rachel] Oh my god, it was with Oscar Isaac, wasn't it?
- Well, I supposed it depends if you mean first acting job,
- Oh, your first ever job. - What do you mean?
- In life.
- I've had a lot of jobs.
I have done everything that a surviving actor can do,
pretty much. - Hitman.
- [Tom] Yeah, I was also a hitman.
- I know this one. - Do you actually?
- Which is really frustrating.
Well, you told me a long time ago.
- What do kids do? [laughs]
- I'm gonna go ahead and guess, grocery store stocker?
- Oh, yeah, yeah. - Like a stock boy?
- [Tom] Like a shelf stocker for Shopway.
- Like you did at the gas station.
- I did that for summer. - Yeah, yeah.
- It was a lot of fun.
- I'm gonna say you shine shoes.
- A shoe shine boy? - Yeah maybe.
- Like a Victorian child?
- You're talking about yourself
as if you were Oliver Twist. [laughs]
- Yeah, I know I am, yeah.
My first ever job when I was 13 or 14 was a paper boy.
I did, I had a paper route.
- So you were Oliver Twist, you were a newsie.
- Oh that is really classic.
- So I literally, I had like a trolley, a little cart,
and I went and dropped papers off in people's yard.
♪ Aint it a fine life ♪
- But I think Josh was a lot closer, so--
- [Rachel] You're gonna give him a point?
- Yeah, I dunno, I'm just in a mood.
I'm gonna give Josh--
- A point? - Because your answer was,
what was your answer again?
- A point, a shoe shiner.
- A shoe-shine point.
- They're both like 1930s chic.
- Okay, fine. You both get a point
just for being like all close. [point dings]
- For being hot. - All right, none of that.
- Rachel is at 3.75 and Josh, is it 2.75.
- We both got a point.
Because both of our answers had boy.
- What is my hidden talent?
I'm not sure how I even know what my--
- Well this is-- - Well, then this is great.
- Well think of, think of yours
and when you got it, then I'll guess.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Oh, oh.
- I know what mine is.
- I think you both will know this
because I think you've both mentioned it, but.
- You're good at whistling.
- Is that it?
You made a face!
- You didn't gimme a chance to answer.
- I haven't answered, I haven't said anything.
- Because I was gonna say that you're good at whistling.
- No, you were not. [Tom laughs]
- You're so full of shit.
- I was. - Well you, you are.
You're very good at whistling.
Because I have so many videos on my phone
of you being like [imitates whistling]
and I can't do stuff like that.
- All right, so the answer is whistling.
- Yeah, I had a feeling.
- So both Josh and Rachel will get a point.
I have like a weird melodic whistle.
- You are so, that is such. [warbling]
[Tom whistling melodically]
- [Rachel] That's impressive.
- That made me nervous, why does that?
- Yeah, you were shaking.
- I know, did you see my lips quivering?
- Yeah, I was nervous for you.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Next question. - All right.
Where is my dream destination?
- In general?
- If I could live anywhere in the world.
- Oh, I can imagine you just with a house in the mountains,
you want land.
- He is scared of mountain lions.
[Tom and Rachel laugh]
For the sake of having a different answer than you,
I'll say Spain.
- Spain, nice.
This was a hard one. 'cause I think I wanna go everywhere.
- [Rachel] You do, you are, you're a nomad.
- I kind of want to travel everywhere.
But I think if I had to like be stuck somewhere
for the rest of my life. - [laughs] Stuck.
- It would be a desert island with lots of waves.
- Oh, I was completely wrong.
- Well, I had to surf, so I wanna be somewhere where I can--
- There you go. - Yeah, I forgot,
you like to surf. - Be in the ocean.
I used to be afraid of the ocean,
and then I started surfing.
- My deep waters were right?
- Yeah, well, you weren't totally off.
I used to like have a fear of
what was underneath, not knowing what was underneath.
- Yeah, I'm currently afraid of the ocean.
- Are you? - Yeah.
Get on a surfboard.
So that was the last question.
The final scores on the board are Rachel with 4.75
and Josh with 3.75.
So Josh, you are one point behind.
I'm sorry. - That sucks.
- It hurts, but I think I'll find a way to carry on.
- How will you find a way?
What will you do?
- I guess I'll explore the world.
- No, we're gonna flip the script on Tom. [laughs]
- That actually works too, and it's much less expensive.
[Rachel laughs]
- We actually have some questions for you.
- Okay.
- And if you get them wrong, we get points.
- Okay, if I get 'em wrong, you get points.
- Yeah. [playful music]
- You go first. - Okay.
What is the most watched video on my YouTube channel?
- I'm gonna guess it's you singing something,
and I'm gonna guess, what would draw a lot of people in?
Rachel singing a cover of a Taylor Swift song.
- I think that's a great guess.
- Can I guess as well?
- But you don't get points for it.
- I know, I wanna guess. - You can guess,
but you don't get points.
- Yeah, but that's your final answer.
- Taylor Swift?
- I think Rachel singing a Taylor Swift song is a guess.
- I think it's a great guess.
- I think it's you singing Shallow.
- It is me singing Shallow. - From?
- From from A Stars is Born. - Oh.
- I had a video go viral of me singing Shallow
and then people looked it up,
but the video on my YouTube channel,
which was a different video went viral.
- [Tom] No way.
- And I actually don't like that video very much,
but I can't take it down.
- All right, I got one for you, Tom.
[playful music] - All right.
- What is the first musical I ever performed in?
- I know this. [laughs] - Oh man.
- I know it, and it's so great.
- Okay, I don't know, Josh.
I can imagine you as like a newsie.
- That was you babe. - Yeah, I'm the newsie.
I think Josh's first ever musical performance
was playing Annie in Annie.
- You saw.
- Wait, there's no freaking way.
- Wait-- - He was in Annie.
- I'm gonna give you. - He wasn't Annie.
- I'm gonna give you that.
I was in Annie. - He was in Annie.
- In fifth grade-- - But he played Rooster.
- I was Rooster Hannigan. - Yeah.
- And man, the reviews were wild.
- [laughs] How old were you?
- The New York Times said go and see it.
- Off the charts.
I was 10 years old. - Oh, baby.
- I can't believe I got that.
- [Rachel] That's Tim Fergy's part.
- Maybe I knew that subconsciously.
- It could be. - But that's,
because you're like, oh, little kid, curly hair, Annie.
- So I know it was my second guess, but I did amend it.
- Fair. - So do I get a point?
No, I don't get a point.
- But you can get a point.
- You're not on the board.
- No, I don't get a point. - Okay, cool.
[playful music] - So this is, I guess me.
Who did I Zoom call during the Academy Awards?
This was before you knew me.
- Before you knew me, so definitely wasn't me.
- Oh, I wish.
- You didn't have, I was gonna say your dog,
but you didn't have a dog at that point.
- I didn't have Lenny yet, my little precious boy.
- I mean, you a lovely family who you're very close with.
- I do, yeah.
- It was maybe your lovely mom and dad.
- I love that guess, and honestly I would be--
- You wish it was. [laughs]
- I'm a shitty daughter, I didn't.
- I have friends. - Yes, I'm glad.
- Who have a variety spoof show
called the George Lucas Talk Show.
- Oh, oh, I've heard about that, yeah, yeah.
- And there is a running gag on it.
We had this joke that if I went to the Academy Awards,
I was gonna call in.
- So you called in. - And I called in
the George Lucas Talk Show.
- Like live on the podcast.
- Live on their show, yeah. - Oh, that's fun.
So I got it wrong, which means you get points.
- So Rachel, you are good at math.
- So that's basically you are gonna solidifies my loss.
And now we're doing the super ultra deluxe round,
which is worth winning points. [playful music]
- No! - 16 points.
What was the first album I ever bought?
- That's a good one. - Oh, yeah.
- That's a good one, Annie, Annie the Musical.
[Rachel laughs]
No, first album you ever bought?
- And I'll give you a hint.
I was also 10 years old.
- You're 10.
- Oh, it was the same year as Annie.
- It's a wild guess here, I don't know.
I'm gonna say it was Seal's album.
- Kiss from a Rose. - I love that song.
- 'Cause you sing it all the time.
- I do, I do sing that song.
- Yeah.
- I thought I knew when I was wrong,
but I just saw your answer.
I guessed Off the Wall.
- I think that was actually my third album
that I ever bought.
- What was the second one?
- The second one was the Essential Billy Joel.
- Yes. - Nice.
- And the first one was
the Shrek Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
- Hell yeah, so I was closer with Annie.
- We love Shrek.
- I probably should've gone with Annie.
[point dings] - Rachel is the clear winner
in this game of how well do we know each other?
Round of applause for each other.
[group applauding]
- When you're the best, you're the best.
- Hey [gasps], for me?
- And you win this little Oscar.
Do you have a speech?
- Do I have a speech?
No. - Okay. [laughs]
I'd like to thank Tom
for telling me everything about his life.
- And I would like to thank Vanity Fair for having us.
- That was a great little alleyoop right there.
- Yeah, if you lift me up, I'll put it in.
[Rachel laughs]
- Off the backboard.
- I'm so sorry. [bold electronic music]
