[Music]
hi then hey Patrick how are you buddy
good to see you again last time we
talked talked you said that in order for
us to talk again sonic had to have a
huge opening weekend all the fans had to
go see it
so congratulations oh we did it
did I say we needed a sequel cuz we
didn't get the sequel yet oh [ __ ] you
didn't should we like no we haven't
gotten women greenlit we have been
greenlit for a sequel yet alright um
alright fun to hang out don't call me
back later he's back baby
Tuesday's anak Tuesday hey Ben what a
space force that was created by Steve
Carell who did the office and Greg
Daniels who created the office and also
for you and I it follows a new branch of
the government that was just started and
the whole idea of this new branch of the
government is to deal with military
action towards space and I play a media
manager of sub said rich did I do a good
job yeah it was great it was really
succinct um
fans of like your past characters at no
[ __ ] all right yes sorry keep going
I look really sad well I don't was that
when you're talking to me just now this
is literally what you look like all the
time look like you look like someone who
did not get the job in Death Cab for
Cutie and he just doesn't know what's
going on tell me what you think joy
looks like by the way
okay I'll take a picture of it but it's
so different than what this is do you
know what I mean yeah this is this is
you after like seeing Sonic yeah that
was I made that face several times
inside fans of your work will sort of
recognize sort of echoes of past
characters you've played a bit of
jean-ralphio in this character how come
how come you're you're so good at
playing like idiot [ __ ] I think
there's a lot of fun I think there's so
much fun playing the person that's
overconfident that thinks he's nailing
it but never is I love that stuff it's
funny you said that cuz literally it's
one of the ideas that we had was we want
the energy to be there one of those fun
stuff to be there but we do not want to
be John Ralph you know which it I think
I think we pulled off I think it comes I
mean this guy this guy thinks we nailed
it I've got a segment better or worse in
space sports
worse because everything is a home run
you can't you can't deal with it you
throw a ball up it's gone
kissing better I'd like some reasoning
because it seems you get harder well ok
because you take off your helmets and
your face starts to go inside-out so
you're not just kissing lips you're
kissing who the person is underneath and
I'm a very sensitive man and I like the
idea that I could sit you kiss somebody
who I could really feel like what they
are underneath now does that mean I fall
in love with the person I don't know
what I know Emily do you think I'd be
better worse in space Oh giving birth on
the moon is hilarious ever yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah you you think it
would be easier you think it was just
bust out I'm just like yeah yeah you
don't have to push you just find out you
put your alarm clock on when you're
gonna give birth the contractions are
put then it's out you just gotta cool
how funny is that bit gotta grab a bag
at porn right got a cord yeah they'll
keep if you like just little globules of
milk just sorta like you're [ __ ]
disgusting do you hear me you're
disgusting and this isn't the place for
any of that your play pitfall on the
older consoles like Atari yeah yeah yeah
yeah your character in the show speaking
of milk is lactose intolerant what's
what's your milk situation like oh by
the way I improvised that it's now it's
a character trait yeah what was your
second part your first part was so
stupid that indivisible all right I just
want to know what what like your
personal milk
tuition is oh can I tell you something
Patrick because you seem like you have
some problems too just from your
physique that for me like I thought Olli
was gonna solve everything huh but I
still get stomach issues from Oatley I
guess stomach issues from soy milk I'm
not quite certain what it is that's
giving me issues but I've been eatin a
ton of ice cream really do you think
astronaut ice cream would give you
astronaut diarrhea do you remember
astronaut ice cream I used to love that
yeah we're good little balls no that
that's that's dippin dots oh that is
dippin dots in ice cream though didn't
they get didn't they sounded like a
freeze lock silver are what I remember
his space ice cream came like a pretty
black silver thing it was like a big it
was like a big Lucky Charms marshmallow
pretty much I've been a lot of things
that are these big wonderful things like
Sonic and I've never been in something
that has its own ice cream spaceforce
has its own Ben & Jerry's flavored ice
cream it blew my mind it's coming out
like a couple days from today which
means I probably already a preview of it
they're getting send it to me I cannot
wait and I'm so lactose intolerant and I
will eat every droplet of it you share
scenes with some really funny people in
the show and not all of them are
necessarily known for comedic roles
already a lot of them are what makes
some of these people uniquely good at
being funny and a great name out there
John Malkovich he commits so hard to the
character he's so [ __ ] funny because
every sentence is said as his calor a
character Mallory Jimmy o yang so the
comedy from his character which I love
so much is that deep down Jimmy could
make anybody laugh whenever he wants but
he plays the serious moments really
serious and then when he hits the
comedic moments they really pop Steve
Carell Steve Carell just a powerhouse
everything he does is incredible
it's insane to me that he can do the
office and then he does like five dramas
and he's just he's he's immaculate and
perfect in it Janina her job was kind of
be [ __ ] to hate me until I kind of
we're at or at odds with each other so
it was super fun to work with her she
was having a ball - how do you think how
do you think space force would feel
about this image
I need it
I think stores would love it who created
that um that was created by
shutterstock.com Patrick I know you're
famous for him do you mind can you show
me your double dab yeah and if you could
switch arms so to go one arm in the
other one tell me when you're ready
yeah 3 2 1 hit him huh bang bang thanks
Ben
segment should we militarize it in space
force we begin militarizing space which
leaves us with a couple things we have
yet to militarize I want to know whether
or not we should militarize these
concepts can't wait getting breakfast
describe to me it described to me just
so I understand it how would one
militarize getting breakfast just right
now moving forward what I'm working with
tell me wait that means great because
before before we did this interview Tara
asked me the same question I said I
don't know Ben's funny he'll think of
something well listen she's a great
producer and she understands flaws when
she sees them and the biggest flaw was
letting you do this so I can't wait to
hear what you tell me what it means to
militarize breakfast cuz you leading up
to this was so smart much a funny way
like that's and that's classic Patrick
Gill you comment stuff because you do
your research you're funny too I think
what you've done is you you're in a
sinkhole and you're sinking right now
and you don't know how to get out and
you try to grab me but you pulled me and
so now I want to hear from you right now
Patrick Gill I don't want any I don't
want any nonsense I just want you to
tell me right now how you would
militarize breakfast uniform breakfast
you know a good uniform for breakfast
