ENOUGH ENERGY TO PLAY OCULUS
>> James: DID YOU? I WAS PLAYING A VIRTUAL
REALITY SET AND ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO BE PLAYING CREED
RISE TO GLORY. I WAS BOXING CLEVER LANE
>>James: IS THAT WHERE ROCKY WAS YOUR COACH
>> YES, AND MY GIRLFRIEND CAME OUT OF THE BATHROOM SAYING,
HAPPEN PI NEW YEAR, BABE! AND I WAS, LIKE --
>> MID PUNCH? YEAH, I WAS 41 YEARS OLD AND
NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS >> James: HOW DID YOU SPEND
NEW YEAR'S? >> I WAS IN NEW YORK WITH MY DAD
AND FAMILY AND WE WERE TALKING THE STREETS OF NEW YORK AND
PLAYING TRIVIAL PURSUIT.
DRUMMERS OF HIS GENERATION. YOU ARE QUITE A DRUMMER.
HOW GOOD ARE YOU? >> I'M TRASH, BRO, I'M TRASH
>> James: HAVE YOU BEEN IN BAND AND STUFF?
>> I'M IN A BAND RIGHT NOW. WE CALL OURSELVES THE U.S. OPEN,
AND -- >> James: OH, I LIKE THAT
YEAH, WE JUST PLAY LOUD AND FAST AND FUN, BUT, I MEAN, I'M
THE GARBAGE DRUMMER, BRO, IT'S JUST FOR ME.
IT'S JUST FOR ME. I'M JUST PLAYING LOUD AND FAST
>> AND FOR EVERYONE HERE NOW >> James: BUT IF YOU'RE IN A
BAND, YOU CAN'T BE THAT BAD >> OH, YOU CAN!
YOU CAN! I MEAN, I'M LIVING ROOF.
>> James: I GUESS YOU CAN BE BAD AND STAY IN A BAND.
I GUESS YOU CAN. >> I DON'T WANT TO INSULT YOU!
YOU'RE A REAL DRUMMER, YOU KNOW! >> James: LILY, I WANT TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT THIS H. YOU DID SOMETHING I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING
TO BE ABLE TO DO. I WANT TO KNOW THE ENTIRE STORY,
YOU SWAM LIKE A WHALE, FOR REAL A WHALE IN THE OCEAN
>> IN THE WILD >> James: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
SUPER RANDOMLY. I WAS ON A VACATION, AND MY
HUSBAND SURFS, AND, SO, I WENT OUT TO WATCH HIM SURF AND, AS HE
WAS SURFING, TWO WHALES BREACHED, A MOM AND BABY AND
STARTED FLIPPING, AND THE CAPTAIN SAID DO YOU WANT TO SWIM
WITH THEM? I SAID I'M NOT GOING OUT IN THE
WILD AND SWIMMING WITH THE WHALES
>> James: HOW CLOSE WERE THEY AS CLOSE AS THE CAMERA
>> James: STOP IT! I SAID, WHY NOT?
SO THEY GOT SOMEONE ON BOARD WITH LITERALLY FOGLES AND A
SNORKEL, AND SAID, JUST JUMP IN. SO WE JUMPED IN AND WE COULDN'T
SEE THEM ANYWHERE, THEY'D SWIM AWAY REALLY FAST.
I SAID, IT'S WASN'T MEANT TO BE. I WAS, LIKE, WE'LL FIND THEM.
WE'LL GO BACK IN THE BOAT AND TRY TO TRAIL THEM AND JUMP IN
AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND A BATHING SUIT
MEANT TO BE SUN BATHING. I'M NOT PREPPED TO SWIM WITH
WHALES. SO I'M SWIMMING AND LOOKING DOWN
AND I'M, LIKE, WE LOST THEM, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE LOOK DOWN AND
THIS SMALL THING IS COMING TOWARD ME AND AS IT GETS CLOSER
IT BECOMES A WHALE >> James: OH, MY GOD!
IT'S A MOTHER AND ITS BABY. THEY TURN -- I HAVE VIDEO --
THERE'S A MOTHER AND THE BABY PIVOTS AND STARES AT MY FOR 30
SECONDS AND I FELT A SENSE OF CALM I'VE NEVER FELT IN MY LIFE.
YOU WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE TERRIFYING BUT IT WAS THE MOST
CALMING EXPERIENCE. IT WAS WILD.
>> James: I'M SO JEALOUS. I'M SO JEALOUS
>> WELL, NEXT TIME, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE SAYS DO YOU WANT TO SWIM
WITH W WHALES, JUST JUMP IN >> James: I TRIED MULTIPLE
TIMES >> REALLY?
>> James: YEAH. BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE AMAZING.
I ALWAYS END UP WITH TWO GUYS, LIKE, RANDY AND CHAD WHO ARE,
LIKE, OH, YEAH, WE'LL FIND THEM, MATE, DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT
THAT, AND THEN FOUR HOURS LATER IT'S, LIKE, SOME DAYS, YOU JUST
DON'T FIND THEM. >> OH, NO!
>> James: YEAH, IN NEW ZEALAND.
AND THEY WOULD SAY, OH, THERE'S ONE!
AND IT'S COLD AND YOU GO, OH, IT JUST WENT DOWN.
LET'S TALK ABOUT SEASON TWO OF EMILY IN PARIS.
WHEN YOU SHOOT THE SHOW IN PARIS, IT'S MASSIVE SUCCESS,
WHEN YOU SHOOT THE SHOW IN PARIS, HOW DO PARISIANS LIKE THE
SHOW. >> THE PARISIANS DIDN'T WANT TO
EMBRACE THE SHOW. >> James: STOP!
THERE WAS RUMOR AND WE WENT SEASON 2, AND IT COULD NOT HAVE
BEEN MORE OF THE OPPOSITE. EVERYONE THERE WAS SO EMBRACING
OF THE SHOW, SO EXCITED FOR US TO BE THERE.
ASHLEY AND I HAD TO QUARANTINE WHEN WE GOT THERE BUT WE WERE
THE ONLY AMERICANS IN FRANCE BECAUSE OF COVID REGULATIONS AND
SHUTDOWNS. WHEN WE GO OUT WE SPEAK LOUDLY
AND ANIMATEDLY AS WE DO WHEN FRIENDS, SO WE STUCK OUT AS A
SORE THUMB. AND PEOPLE WOULD COME OVER AND
SAY, OH, DO YOU LIVE IN PARIS? WE SAID, NO, WE'RE ASHLEY AND
LILY. THEY FELT WE WERE THE SHOW AND
THEY WENT WILD FOR IT. IT WAS LOVELY.
>> James: THEY FELT LIKE YOU WERE THE SHOW BUT THEY STILL
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING IN PARIS.
>> YEAH. >> James: THAT'S CRAZY.
THAT'S CRAZY. TO BE, LIKE, YOU'RE JUST LIKE
THE SHOW, WHY ARE YOU IN PARIS? >> IT WAS A LITTLE CRAZY.
>> James: LIKE WHY DO YOU THINK?
