-Hi. -Hi.
-There is nothing to be scared of. Get in.
--[ Singing ] Take a sip from your soul
on a metaphysical milkshake.
-I feel so lucky because I feel like
there's probably a lot of people that are like,
"Man, I would love to meet Rainn Wilson
in the back of a sweaty freight van in the Valley,
and I totally get to.
-Line up, people. Line up, America.
-This is, like, amazing.
-Do weird and dangerous things happen in the backs of vans
in Canada, as well as, like, in the United States?
-Absolutely. -Oh, yeah?
So that's a universal thing. -That's a universal thing.
-You think, like, Bolivia, Borneo?
-More so. -Really, even more so?
North Korea? -If you saw a van in Bolivia.
-You'd be like, "Stay away." -Get away from it.
-Nothing good can happen in the back of a van in Bolivia.
-No. -Where do you want to go?
-Um... -If you can go anywhere?
-I think we should go to Bolivia.
They're all scared of us.
-I am sitting here with Kelly Oxford, who is Canadian.
She is a blogger.
She's a mom and does social media and lots of things.
She has just moved to L.A., because you are a writer.
So you grew up in Edmonton and you always wanted to write.
-Yeah. -Since you were a little girl.
-I always wrote. I always just wrote stuff,
like stories, books in school.
You know, they would submit them to magazines,
like kids' magazines and things like that.
And then when I was 19, I borrowed money
from my parents -- I was still living with my parents --
and I went to a seminar
and learned how to write a screenplay,
and then I tried to sit down and write one,
and I realized that there was nothing
that I wanted to share yet.
But I was 19. I could write, you know.
-You had no stories.
-I had no stories. I had no --
And even the stories I was living,
I did not share. I needed to not have --
-That's why you got pregnant so many different times?
-Exactly.
-Stories. You have like 12? You have how many kids?
-37 children. -37 children, right.
-Three. -Three kids.
-I find it really inspiring that you are able to have
such a rich, deep, varied creative life
and be a mom at the same time.
-Once the kids are older than having to make sure
they don't fall down the stairs.
It's a lot easier to just make sure
they're happy doing what they're doing
and keep an ear on them and be able to work.
Writing is a great thing. I can do it anywhere.
I can do it on the couch. I can write anywhere.
-What are you writing?
-Right now, I'm finishing up my book,
which is a compilation of essays.
-What's the title of it?
-"Everything is Perfect When You're a Liar."
I am rewriting a feature
that Warner Bros. bought in April.
I'm doing my first rewrite now. -What's that one called?
-That one is called Son of a B-tch."
I had to come up with a good title.
-Great title. -One they'll really pick up.
-That's catchy, yeah, yeah. -And it's just a funny saying.
Like, anybody that says earnestly, "Son of a b-tch,"
like it's really funny. Do you agree?
-Yeah. Okay, this is a good YouTube challenge.
Upload a video of you saying "son of a b-tch"
as seriously and passionately and as investedly as possible
and upload your video right there.
-It doesn't have to be screaming, either.
-No. -Because we don't want to watch
a bunch of screaming people, people screaming.
-Not screaming, but serious. Yeah.
-Earnest. -Earnest, good.
Let the hilarity began, and go.
How did you get to be so funny?
-My parents are weird, maybe. -How weird are they?
-They are really, really weird.
-My parents are very weird, too. -Really?
-Yes. -How weird?
-So weird that it would melt your face.
They're face-meltingly weird.
-So, I found last night that your mom was a yoga teacher.
-Yes. -My mom was a yoga teacher.
-Yeah. -Favorite yoga position?
-Downward dog. -Hello! [ Laughs ]
-Pretty much. -Yeah.
-Yeah, yoga teacher mom.
That was weird growing up with a mom
that did yoga in the '80s because nobody knew what it was
before Madonna went on "Oprah" and talked about it.
-Say metaphysical three times fast.
-Metaphysical, metaphysical, metaphysical, metaphysical.
-You are too good. Stupid Canadians.
-I should be acting. -So, some nice big questions...
What is our purpose in life?
-God. Follow your instincts and not hurt anybody.
-What happens when we die?
-Oh, I have no idea.
-Do you know any Mounties?
-No. -Do you believe in God?
-If I say yes, I sort of don't believe it,
and if say no I sort of don't believe it.
-What does your soul look like? -Confused.
-What you do to get in touch with your creative core?
-I'll go outside, getting away from screens and phones
and all of that sort of thing and actually --
-Get away from screens and phones.
-Get off of it.
You know, going to see a movie really inspires me.
-Get away from the screens unless it's a movie screen.
Is there true love?
-Oh, yeah, there's true love going on all the time.
I don't think that we could, like, do any of this
if we didn't, like, love sort of everything.
You couldn't do anything.
-You couldn't shoot talk shows in vans?
-No, no, no, no, you wouldn't have bought this van
if you didn't like love.
And you just don't do things if you don't love.
I think you shut down.
That's when you become a murderer,
want to just destroy things.
-What's the weirdest thing you've ever left
on the roof of your car?
-I have never left anything on the roof of my car.
I'm still waiting for that to happen.
-Ask me.
-What did you leave on the roof of your car?
-A saxophone. -A saxophone?
It was a rental, and we paid $200 price.
-Can you play the saxophone for me?
-I was a clarinetist
and then a saxophonist and a bassoonist.
-I don't even know what a bassoon sounds like.
-A bassoon sounds like Einstein farting.
[ Imitates bassoon ]
-Are there going to be comments on this YouTube channel?
-Yeah, there is.
-Is there going to be a comment section for people?
-Yeah, there is going to be comments down below.
-I kind of like the bad comments.
Like, I like the guy who -- I put up a profile picture,
and he tells me I look like a cross
between Voldemort and Joey Ramone.
I don't mind that.
-You should see the things I get called.
-That should be my... -It's terrible.
-Really?
It's going to be awesome.
-Thanks for coming to Bolivia with us.
-Thanks for coming to Bolivia.
Keep it -- Keep it clean.
-Keep it clean, kids.
Son of a b-tch.
-No! No! No! Stop the van!
Stop the van! -Oh, sh-t!
-Whoo!
-That was awesome!
-Get it? -Yes.
-Outtakes.
