  • ARCHITECTS OF SOMEONE'S DEMISE.

  • SO IT'S FINE.

  • I LIKE JUST BEING HERE WITH THE GIRLS.

  • I LIKE DOING THE GIRLS' STUFF.

  • LIKE, I TRY NOT TO PUSH SORT OF GENDER NORMATIVE IDEAS ON MY

  • KIDS AS THEY'RE BORN, BUT EACH ONE AS THEY CAME OUT OF THE

  • CHUTE, THEY WANTED TO MAKE DRESSES.

  • THEY WANTED TO DRESS IN HOT PINK ALL DAY.

  • THAT'S WHAT I DO.

  • THIS MORNING I MADE DRESSES OUT OF TISSUE PAPER WHICH WAS FUN

  • FOR THEM.

  • >> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.

  • >> YEAH, YEAH, NOT BAD AT ALL, RIGHT.

  • HOW IS IT GOING OVER THERE?

  • >> Stephen: "PROJECT RUNWAY" WITH A BOX OF KLEENEX.

  • >> THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING, DEVELOPING THE SKILLS THAT WILL

  • TAKE US INTO THE NEW WORLD.

  • >> Stephen: YOU'RE MAKING IT WORK, RYAN.

  • >> MAKES SENSE.

  • >> Stephen: WHAT ABOUT PERSONAL GROOMING?

  • YOU'RE A STAR, YOU'RE RADIANT WITH YOUR OWN BEAUTY.

  • WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT YOUR OWN PERSONAL GROOMING NOW THAT

  • YOU'RE LOCKED INSIDE.

  • >> I WAS WORKING ON A FILM UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO, JUST A LITTLE

  • OVER TWO WEEKS AGO WE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE.

  • THANKFULLY I GOT A HAIRCUT ON THE DAY WE SHUT DOWN.

  • I WAS THINKING AHEAD.

  • AND TOMORROW, BLAKE IS GOING-- TO GOING TO GIVE ME A HAIRCUT.

  • SHE DID THIS ONCE BEFORE.

  • IT TOOK TWO AND A HALF HOURS.

  • AND THEN AT THE END IT LOOKED LIKE SHE HAD DONE THE WHOLE

  • THING USING ONLY A LIGHTER OR, LIKE-- YOU KNOW, THOSE GLOVES

  • THAT ARE MADE OF SAND PAPER.

  • IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE FASTER IF SHE HAD JUST WORE IT

  • DOWN, JUST RUBBED MY HEAD UNTIL THE HAIR DISAPPEARED.

  • TOMORROW I'M GETTING A HAIRCUT, VERY EXCI EXCITED.

  • >> Stephen: PEOPLE ARE COMING UP WITH NEW IDEAS TO PAZ THE

  • TIME.

  • WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO FILL THE EMPTY SPACES?

  • >> WE'RE DOING A LOT OF HOME SCHOOLING.

  • WE'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A LITTLE, TINY GARDEN.

  • WE'RE LEARNING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT GARDENING.

  • WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THIS AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE, BUT I'M

  • MOSTLY DRINKING.

  • >> Stephen: YOU HAVE A HEAD START ON MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU

  • HAVE YOUR OWN LIQUOR COMPANY.

  • >> I DO, I DO, I OWN A GIN COMPANY.

  • IT'S A BLESSING AND A HUGE CURSE.

  • >> Stephen: TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR GIN COMPANY.

  • YOU GAVE ME A BOTTLE BACK IN THE DAY.

  • >> I DID.

  • >> Stephen: AND I HAVE IT WITH ME.

  • >> OH!

  • I HAVE MINE WITH ME, TOO.

  • LOOK AT THIS.

  • >> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE A COCKTAIL YOU PARTICULARLY LIKE

  • TO MAKE WITH YOUR AVIATION GIN.

  • >> I LIKE TO DRINK GIN AND SODA.

  • I AM LIKE ABOUT THE SODA PART.

  • >> Stephen: THAT'S THE NICE THING ABOUT A CLEAR LIQUOR.

  • >> RIGHT.

  • >> Stephen: NO JUDGMENT.

  • >> YEAH, THIS COULD BE ALKALINE WATER, FOR ALL ANYONE KNOWS.

  • MMM.

  • >> Stephen: HERE I GO.

  • >> SORRY, THAT WAS RUDE OF ME TO SIP BEFORE YOU-- BEFORE --

  • >> Stephen: NO, I NEED TO-- I NEED TO DO THIS IN A CIVILIZED

  • WAY.

  • >> CRUSHED ICE AND EVERYTHING.

  • MY GOD, ALL THE CFORTZ OF -- >> Stephen: YOU AND BLAKE HAVE

  • ACTUALLY DONE SOME WONDERFUL WORK CHARITABLY SO FAR IN

  • RESPONSE TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.

  • TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND WAYS THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO

  • HELP AS WELL.

  • >> WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT REALLY IN THE BUSINESS OF

  • TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO DO, NECESSARILY.

  • BUT I DO THINK IT'S INCUMBENT UPON THOSE WHO CAN GIVE BACK TO

  • DO SO, PARTICULARLY IN A TIME LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW.

  • PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING TO PAY REPRESENT.

  • THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO BUY FOOD.

  • AND FOOD I THINK SAY NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE AND PRETTY MUCH

  • TREATING PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT,

  • THAT'S, YOU KNOW-- THAT'S PART OF THE INTEGRITY OF DEMOCRACY.

  • SO I-- I-- I JUST FELT IT IMPORTANT AND BLAKE FELT IT VERY

  • IMPORTANT TO GIVE BACK.

  • SO WE MADE A PRETTY SIZABLE DONATION TO FOOD BANKS IN BOTH

  • CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.

  • >> Stephen: YOU DONATED $1 MILLION TO FOOD BANKS IN THE

  • UNITED STATES AND CANADA.

  • AND $400,000 TO NEW YORK HOSPITALS.

  • AND YOU'RE GIVING BACK WYOUR COMPANIES, AVIATION GIN, AND

  • HOW IS MINT MOBILE GIVING BACK?

  • YOU HAVE A MOBILE PHONE COMPANY?

  • >> I LOVED MINT MOBILE.

  • I USED IT FOR A YEAR BEFORE I BOUGHT THE COMPANY.

  • IT'S 15 BUCKS A MONTH PUP GET THE SAME SERVICE EVERYBODY ELSE

  • IS PAYING $65 OR 100 BUCKS A MONTH FOR, SO IT MADE SENSE TO

  • PARTICULARLY IN TIMES LIKE THIS, IT'S SOMETHING WE WERE ABLE TO

  • GIVE BACK A LITTLE BIT, TOO.

  • WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE EVERYBODY FREE DATA, HAVING ACCESS TO

  • TELECOMMUNICATION AT A TIME LIKE THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE.

  • SO, YEAH, IT WAS IMPORTANT TO US TO DO SOMETHING THERE.

  • I THINK MOST COMPANIES IF THEY CAN NEED TO BE DOING SOMETHING.

  • THEY NEED TO BE GIVING BACK.

  • >> Stephen: HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

  • >> NICE!

  • WOW, YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL.

  • ABSOLUTE PROFESSIONAL.

  • OH, WOW!

  • IT'S LIKE A YOUNG TOM CRUISE BEHIND THE BAR THERE.

  • >> Stephen: UH-HUH.

  • >> YOU LOOK LIKE THE OWNER OF THE GIN COMPANY.

  • YOU'RE THE OWNER OF AVIATION GIN, NOT ME.

  • I'M DRINKING IN A HALF-ASSED TUMBLER.

  • >> Stephen: I DO.

  • I HAVE A PHYSIQUE THAT LENDS ITSELF TO DRINKING.

  • >> RIGHT.

  • >> Stephen: I COME PREDISSIPATED.

  • YOU LOOK TOO HEALTHY TO OWN A GIN COMPANY.

  • >> THAT'S A QUARANTINEY.

  • >> Stephen: TELL US ABOUT YOUR NATIVE CANADA.

  • WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE?

  • DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE QUARANTINE AND THE SPREAD OF THE

  • CORONAVIRUS UP THERE?

  • >> YEAH, IT'S PRETEE I MEAN, THEY'RE SUFFERING FROM SIMILAR

  • ISSUES.

  • THIS IS, OBVIOUSLY, A GLOBAL PANDEMIC.

  • IT'S A SIMILAR-- SIMILAR ISSUE OVER THERE.

  • I TALKED TO SUBJECT OTHER DAY.

  • IT WAS SHOCKING TO ME BECAUSE THEY SORT OF SAID THAT-- YOU

  • KNOW, THEY SORT OF FELT LIKE IT'S PNEUMONIA.

  • AND THEY SAID, "CORONAVIRUS CAUSES PNEUMONIA, AND PNEUMONIA

  • IS NOT THAT BIG A DEAL."

  • I CAN KIND OF SPEAK TO THAT.

  • I CAN TELL YOU A TINY LITTLE ANTIDOTE ABOUT MY FATHER WHO WAS

  • A VERY, VERY STRONG GUY, A BOXER AND EXCOP, JUST, LIKE, A TOUGH,

  • TOUGH MAN.

  • AND JUST THIS ABSOLUTELY SLOOUT INEXHAUSTIBLE WELLSPRING OF

  • STORIES.

  • A LOT OF THEM INVOLVED IDIOCY.

  • SOMEPLACE THEM WERE KIND, SOME OF THEM WERE COMPASSIONATE, BUT

  • A LOT WERE ABOUT IDIOCY.

  • I REMEMBER MY DAD HE DRAGGED A STUMP OUT OF THE BACKYARD USING

  • A BUICK, AND, OF COURSE, THE STUMP WON.

  • I REMEMBER HIM USING A METAL SHOVEL TO FREE AN ACTIVE

  • LAWNMOWER.

  • THAT'S-- LITERALLY USING A SHOVEL.

  • >> Stephen: FREE AN ACTIVE LAWNMOWER?

  • >> IT HAD GROUND DOWN ON THE LAWN AND HE TOOK A SHOVEL TO

  • SORT OF FREE THIS THING.

  • I REMEMBER WATCHING HIM CLIMB INTO HIS OWN SEPTIC TANK.

  • I SAW HIM USE A CHAINSAW WHEN HE SUFFERED FROM LATE-STAGE

  • PARKINSON'S DISEASE, AND A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS-- POURING GAS ON

  • BURNING LEAVES.

  • HE PUNCHED OUT MY LITTLE LEAGUE COACH.

  • BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT KILLED HIM, PNEUMONIA.

  • PNEUMONIA IS VERY SERIOUS.

  • IT CAN TAKE OUTLET TOUGHEST OF US.

  • IT GOT MY DAD.

  • CORONAVIRUS SAY SERIOUS THING AND I SEE PARTICULARLY YOUNGER

  • PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S NOT REALLY THEIR PROBLEM.

  • AND, MY GOD, IT'S THEIR PROBLEM.

  • THERE ARE SOME BELOVED PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPROMISED IMMUNE

  • ISSUES.

  • THERE'S ELDERLY PEOPLE THAT ARE BELOVED THAT WE LOVE, NOT JUST

  • IN SHOW BUSINESS, BUT IN LIFE, TOO.

  • AND WE'VE GOT TO DO ALL WE CAN.

  • SO, YEAH, SCARY TIMES.

  • BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS SOMEHOW.

  • >> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE ALSO TRIED TO HELP

  • SERVICE INDUSTRY WORKERS, PEOPLE IN BARS AND RESTAURANTS WHO

  • DON'T HAVE ANY WORK RIGHT NOW, AND WHO ALWAYS SORT OF ARE

  • DEPENDENT UPON THEIR TIPS.

  • THEY HAVE NO CUSTOMERS NOW.

  • YOU AND BLAKE HAVE ALSO HELPED THEM.

  • >> YEAH, BLAKE AND I WANTED TO GIVE BACK TO THE BARTENDERS,

  • PEOPLE IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY.

  • THEY'RE ACTUALLY SOME OF THE HARDEST HIT IN THIS CRISE.

  • SO, YEAH, AVIATION GIN STARTED A TAB, 15 GRAND IN THE UNITED

  • STATES AND 10 GRANT GRANDIN CANADA.

  • THE REAL THING IS 30% OF EVERY BOTTLE SOLD, THE PROCEEDS OF

  • EVERY BOTTLE, GO TO THE UNITED STATES BARTENDERS' GUILD, AND

  • THEY ARE THERE TO HELP OUT-OF-WORK BARTENDERS.

  • IT'S AN AMAZING ORGANIZATION AND HUGE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK.

  • AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE EXTREMELY-- EXTREMELY PROUD OF.

  • >> Stephen: WERE YOU EVER IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY?

  • WERE YOU EVER A WAITER OR BARTENDER?

  • >> OH, HELL, YES.

  • I WORKED-- I WORKED AT TWO DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS.

  • I WORKED AT A PLACE CALLED THE ROYAL VANCOUVER YACHT CLUB

  • GROWING UP IN VANCOUVER.

  • >> Stephen: THAT'S VERY TONY, VERY TONY.

  • >> IT'S VERY FANCY IS WHAT IT WAS.

  • AND WHAT A PLACE.

  • I WORKED AT A GROCERY STORE FROM MIDNIGHT TO 8:00 A.M.

  • SO I DID THAT FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS.

  • SO I HAVE A HUGE AFFINITY FOR THOSE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE

  • STOCK THOSE SHELVES AND MAKING SURE EVERY HOUSEHOLD HAS FOOD ON

  • THE TABLE.

  • >> Stephen: WE OWE SO MUCH TO THOSE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW.

  • GIVE IT UP FOR THE GROCERY STORE WORKERS RIGHT NOW.

  • >> MASSIVE.

  • WORKING IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRIES AND WORKING AT A

  • GROCERY STORE, I THINK THOSE JOBS TAUGHT ME MORE ABOUT

  • WORKING IN HOLLYWOOD THAN ALMOST ANYTHING I'VE EVER DONE.

  • >> Stephen: HOW SO?

  • >> WELL, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HOLLYWOOD, YOU KNOW, YOU WORK

  • WITH A LOT OF TEEM "PEOPLE" THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, NOT NECESSARILY

  • ACCOUNTABLE.

  • THERE'S A TREMENDOUS FLEXIBILITY WITH PEOPLE WHO-- YOU KNOW, YOU

  • COULD SHOW UP A WEEK LATE, AND THEY'LL JUST CLAP ONCE YOU GET

  • TO SET.

  • SO I THINK WORKING THOSE JOBS, THEY TAUGHT ME A REAL KIND OF

  • STEADFAST ACCOUNTABILITY.

  • I ALWAYS SORT OF FELT LIKE IF I'M FIVE MINUTES EARLY I'M

  • ALREADY 10 MINUTES LATE.

  • AND I'M TELLING YOU THAT'S HALF OF THE GOOD THINGS THAT HAVE

  • COME TO ME HAVE BEEN ABOUT HYPERACCOUNTABLE, AND THAT ALSO

  • CREATES A KIND OF-- AND INFUSES GRATITUDE FOR THE POSITION

  • YOU'RE NUNDERSTANDING THE POSITION YOU'RE IN.

  • IT'S A FLEETING THING.

  • IT DOESN'T LAST.

  • SO, YOU KNOW, I-- THOSE JOBS TAUGHT ME A LOT.

  • I MEAN, WE'RE GOING-- WORKING AT THAT SAFEWAY, WORKING AT THE

  • BAR, WORKING AT THE YACHT CLUB.

  • IF YOU'RE 15 MINUTES LATE, YOU'RE FIRED.

  • SO IT'S -- >> Stephen: AND EVERYONE

  • SHOULD WORK IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY AT SOME POINT.

  • THEN YOU KNOW KNOW HOW TO BE NICE TO PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE

  • SERVICE INDUSTRY.

  • >> YOU REALLY DO.

  • >> Stephen: AND YOU LEARN WHAT IT'S LIKE TO DO A JOB WHERE YOU

  • CANNOT ANSWER IN KIND.

  • >> NO!

  • >> Stephen: PEOPLE CAN BE INCREDIBLY ( BLEEP ) TO YOU, AND

  • YOU GO, "ALL RIGHT, LET ME TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR YOU."

  • >> YUP.

  • YOU'RE JUST GOING TO SMILE-- YOU KNOW HALF-- MORE THAN HALF OF

  • YOUR INCOME IS COMING FROM TIPS.

  • SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S-- YOU'RE BEHOLDEN, IN A CERTAIN WAY, THAT

  • YOU JUST DON'T FIND IN ANY OTHER INDUSTRY.

  • I HAVE SUCH HUGE RESPECT FOR PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THOSE

  • INDUSTRIES.

  • I'M ALWAYS CAREFUL WHEN I'M AROUND THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY

  • SEE THEM AND KNOW THAT THEY'RE APPRECIATED.

  • BUT, YEAH, YEAH, CRAZY TIMES.

  • >> Stephen: RYAN, WE HAVE TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK.

  • BUT PLEASE DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

  • WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE OF THIS COCKTAIL.

>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY.
