52

01:51 ,502 --> 00:01:54,127

Nathan Kress: Yeah, we just finished, jerry and I, one of

53

01:54 ,167 --> 00:01:56,652

Nathan Kress: my castmates, we just finished a satellite

54

01:56 ,913 --> 00:01:59,524

Nathan Kress: media tour So we were doing, you know,

55

01:59 ,945 --> 00:02:02,049

Nathan Kress: starting on the East Coast morning local

56

02:02 ,109 --> 00:02:04,453

Nathan Kress: news shows and then working our way to the

57

02:04 ,493 --> 00:02:04,914

Nathan Kress: West Coast.

58

02:04 ,940 --> 00:02:07,967

Nathan Kress: So we've been up pretty early So I'm, but

59

02:08 ,007 --> 00:02:10,393

Nathan Kress: I'm, i'm very warmed up for interviews.

60

02:10 ,480 --> 00:02:12,625

Nathan Kress: So this this time's out, perfectly, i've

61

02:12 ,665 --> 00:02:14,369

Nathan Kress: gotten all my willies out and I've said my

62

02:14 ,429 --> 00:02:15,852

Nathan Kress: stupid answers already, i think.

63

02:16 ,401 --> 00:02:18,586

Marc Preston: I greatly admire folks that could stay as

64

02:18 ,647 --> 00:02:20,211

Marc Preston: fresh for the last interview as they did

65

02:20 ,251 --> 00:02:20,732

Marc Preston: for the first.

66

02:20 ,840 --> 00:02:22,484

Marc Preston: So you know that's wonderful.

67

02:22 ,544 --> 00:02:25,131

Nathan Kress: It's a lot easier when I'm doing it with

68

02:25 ,171 --> 00:02:26,802

Nathan Kress: Jerry, though, too, because I think we, at

69

02:26 ,822 --> 00:02:29,109

Nathan Kress: this point, we've just known each other for

70

02:29 ,189 --> 00:02:32,598

Nathan Kress: so long that we just we know how to work

71

02:32 ,718 --> 00:02:34,483

Nathan Kress: off of like oh, jerry is about to start

72

02:34 ,523 --> 00:02:35,065

Nathan Kress: doing a bit.

73

02:35 ,245 --> 00:02:37,632

Nathan Kress: here is how I'm going to lean into that,

74

02:37 ,760 --> 00:02:37,981

Nathan Kress: you know.

75

02:38 ,361 --> 00:02:40,366

Nathan Kress: so I think we we make a pretty good team

76

02:40 ,386 --> 00:02:42,370

Nathan Kress: when it comes to this, this press stuff,

77

02:42 ,450 --> 00:02:44,073

Nathan Kress: after years of practice.

78

02:44 ,501 --> 00:02:47,350

Marc Preston: Obviously I'm a little young for I car.

79

02:47 ,480 --> 00:02:49,107

Marc Preston: No, I was kidding, I'm a little old for I

80

02:49 ,147 --> 00:02:49,288

Marc Preston: car.

81

02:49 ,581 --> 00:02:50,784

Nathan Kress: Quite the demographic.

82

02:50 ,965 --> 00:02:52,630

Nathan Kress: You're one of those real fresh Gen Zers I

83

02:52 ,670 --> 00:02:53,942

Nathan Kress: can tell I'll go with that.

84

02:54 ,724 --> 00:02:56,869

Marc Preston: But my, my kids were a little on the young

85

02:56 ,929 --> 00:03:00,003

Marc Preston: side to the dial in And they knew they

86

03:00 ,323 --> 00:03:01,886

Marc Preston: didn't watch it as much because they, i

87

03:01 ,906 --> 00:03:04,351

Marc Preston: think, were just like kids a couple of

88

03:04 ,391 --> 00:03:06,762

Marc Preston: years older would be watching it, and so

89

03:06 ,822 --> 00:03:07,082

Marc Preston: it's funny.

90

03:07 ,102 --> 00:03:08,165

Marc Preston: I was talking to a friend of mine's

91

03:08 ,186 --> 00:03:09,269

Marc Preston: daughter last night.

92

03:09 ,329 --> 00:03:10,945

Marc Preston: Her name is Kayla, i have to give her a

93

03:11 ,025 --> 00:03:12,979

Marc Preston: producer credit because I stopped speaking

94

03:12 ,999 --> 00:03:13,160

Marc Preston: with you.

95

03:13 ,240 --> 00:03:15,405

Marc Preston: She's like, oh my God, i loved him on, i

96

03:15 ,425 --> 00:03:17,771

Marc Preston: carly, and the funny thing is she was she

97

03:17 ,811 --> 00:03:19,909

Marc Preston: was only, i think, eight years old And it

98

03:19 ,929 --> 00:03:20,331

Marc Preston: was funny.

99

03:20 ,371 --> 00:03:21,759

Marc Preston: I said, well, what was it at eight that you

100

03:21 ,819 --> 00:03:21,940

Marc Preston: like?

101

03:22 ,020 --> 00:03:24,526

Marc Preston: She said that's the way I viewed, or I

102

03:24 ,607 --> 00:03:26,913

Marc Preston: thought, teenage life would be.

103

03:27 ,560 --> 00:03:29,506

Marc Preston: It was sort of like her window to teenage

104

03:29 ,566 --> 00:03:30,670

Marc Preston: life as an eight year old.

105

03:30 ,790 --> 00:03:31,361

Marc Preston: You know So.

106

03:31 ,822 --> 00:03:34,048

Marc Preston: But she has a much, much love for you and

107

03:34 ,129 --> 00:03:36,284

Marc Preston: is all kinds of giddy, so she's looking

108

03:36 ,324 --> 00:03:37,388

Marc Preston: forward to hearing this episode.

109

03:37 ,921 --> 00:03:39,786

Marc Preston: I spoke with somebody the other day who was

110

03:40 ,026 --> 00:03:41,410

Marc Preston: pretty well known back in the 80s.

111

03:42 ,100 --> 00:03:43,644

Marc Preston: Now they're doing something, so she was

112

03:43 ,684 --> 00:03:45,930

Marc Preston: known as, like, a teen actor, but here she

113

03:45 ,990 --> 00:03:46,792

Marc Preston: is in her 50s.

114

03:48 ,522 --> 00:03:49,807

Marc Preston: I've always been curious about that

115

03:49 ,847 --> 00:03:50,369

Marc Preston: transition.

116

03:50 ,429 --> 00:03:53,099

Marc Preston: What, when is that line of demarcation

117

03:53 ,120 --> 00:03:55,228

Marc Preston: where you're not known as a kid actor

118

03:55 ,308 --> 00:03:57,437

Marc Preston: anymore, and you're you know, or is that a

119

03:57 ,477 --> 00:03:59,303

Marc Preston: kind of a sliding line, depending on the

120

03:59 ,363 --> 00:04:02,712

Marc Preston: project, or when did you become cognizant

121

04:02 ,772 --> 00:04:03,153

Marc Preston: of that?

122

04:04 ,601 --> 00:04:06,409

Nathan Kress: Yeah, it probably, like you said, is a

123

04:06 ,449 --> 00:04:08,177

Nathan Kress: sliding scale And it probably depends on

124

04:08 ,237 --> 00:04:10,204

Nathan Kress: the projects that you take on.

125

04:10 ,384 --> 00:04:13,514

Nathan Kress: I feel like if you linger in kid worlds,

126

04:14 ,055 --> 00:04:15,781

Nathan Kress: you know, especially past, whatever the

127

04:15 ,841 --> 00:04:18,187

Nathan Kress: initial show was, that made you, you know,

128

04:18 ,468 --> 00:04:21,421

Nathan Kress: that set you off and was your platform, i

129

04:21 ,441 --> 00:04:23,385

Nathan Kress: could see how you could feel a little bit

130

04:23 ,566 --> 00:04:25,812

Nathan Kress: cornered into that Marcet for a little bit

131

04:25 ,852 --> 00:04:26,172

Nathan Kress: longer.

132

04:26 ,340 --> 00:04:29,027

Nathan Kress: But it's it's just probably the first time

133

04:29 ,067 --> 00:04:31,233

Nathan Kress: you have a project where you say a bad word.

134

04:32 ,703 --> 00:04:34,911

Nathan Kress: You know, or you're in you know, a more

135

04:35 ,151 --> 00:04:37,198

Nathan Kress: adult situation, i guess.

136

04:37 ,258 --> 00:04:38,984

Nathan Kress: Or you know you transition from the

137

04:39 ,044 --> 00:04:40,509

Nathan Kress: Nickelodeon to the MTV.

138

04:41 ,070 --> 00:04:42,334

Nathan Kress: You know, right, right.

139

04:43 ,077 --> 00:04:44,982

Nathan Kress: But for me it's always hard because I have

140

04:45 ,062 --> 00:04:46,525

Nathan Kress: such a baby face.

141

04:47 ,066 --> 00:04:50,132

Nathan Kress: It's really been tough for me to play my

142

04:50 ,292 --> 00:04:51,314

Nathan Kress: own age.

143

04:52 ,180 --> 00:04:52,942

Nathan Kress: Hold on, are you now?

144

04:52 ,962 --> 00:04:54,205

Nathan Kress: by the way, i'm 30.

145

04:54 ,405 --> 00:04:55,307

Marc Preston: I just 30.

146

04:55 ,909 --> 00:04:58,093

Marc Preston: Man give me some of your genetic material

147

04:58 ,220 --> 00:04:58,441

Marc Preston: man.

148

04:58 ,964 --> 00:04:59,687

Marc Preston: I'm thinking.

149

04:59 ,727 --> 00:05:01,776

Marc Preston: I'm thinking of what I looked like when I

150

05:01 ,817 --> 00:05:04,868

Marc Preston: was 30, you know to be fair, this is the

151

05:04 ,908 --> 00:05:05,872

Marc Preston: team of professionals.

152

05:05 ,932 --> 00:05:07,959

Nathan Kress: What you, what you don't see, is what

153

05:07 ,999 --> 00:05:09,883

Nathan Kress: happens when my five year old and my two

154

05:09 ,943 --> 00:05:12,969

Nathan Kress: year old occur on this face, and how

155

05:13 ,029 --> 00:05:16,283

Nathan Kress: everything starts to sag and wear out and

156

05:16 ,343 --> 00:05:18,189

Nathan Kress: get puffy and, you know, exhausted.

157

05:18 ,270 --> 00:05:20,839

Nathan Kress: So you know, i got I got a lot of people

158

05:20 ,939 --> 00:05:23,265

Nathan Kress: backing me up and they were there at four

159

05:23 ,305 --> 00:05:25,370

Nathan Kress: o'clock this morning before that media tour.

160

05:25 ,511 --> 00:05:27,643

Nathan Kress: I can guarantee that.

161

05:28 ,224 --> 00:05:30,409

Nathan Kress: But but yeah, i think for me it has been a

162

05:30 ,449 --> 00:05:32,781

Nathan Kress: particular challenge, just because I'm only

163

05:33 ,162 --> 00:05:35,448

Nathan Kress: maybe just starting to grow into my own

164

05:35 ,548 --> 00:05:39,558

Nathan Kress: face, if I have some facial hair And so I.

165

05:39 ,799 --> 00:05:43,087

Nathan Kress: a lot of the roles that I covet in the

166

05:43 ,247 --> 00:05:44,310

Nathan Kress: adult world are.

167

05:44 ,631 --> 00:05:47,879

Nathan Kress: I'm only just now starting to approach the

168

05:47 ,919 --> 00:05:49,885

Nathan Kress: threshold of being able to pull them off

169

05:49 ,925 --> 00:05:51,289

Nathan Kress: and have the audience believe it, and that

170

05:51 ,329 --> 00:05:51,951

Nathan Kress: was kind of nice.

171

05:52 ,260 --> 00:05:54,629

Nathan Kress: you know, with this new Icarly, as an adult

172

05:54 ,669 --> 00:05:57,178

Nathan Kress: show we're supposed to be just about our

173

05:57 ,279 --> 00:05:59,285

Nathan Kress: ages, like late twenties, early thirties.

174

05:59 ,365 --> 00:06:02,475

Nathan Kress: So you know, whether or not the world is

175

06:02 ,516 --> 00:06:04,663

Nathan Kress: willing to accept it, i have a television

176

06:04 ,703 --> 00:06:06,810

Nathan Kress: show that's telling people that I can play

177

06:07 ,091 --> 00:06:08,556

Nathan Kress: a role this age.

178

06:08 ,576 --> 00:06:09,600

Marc Preston: Yeah, Well, it's funny.

179

06:10 ,102 --> 00:06:11,768

Marc Preston: You, you were in the movie Into the Storm

180

06:12 ,451 --> 00:06:14,158

Marc Preston: and just coincidentally, I spoke with Matt

181

06:14 ,198 --> 00:06:16,287

Marc Preston: Walsh last week, No kidding, And the name

182

06:16 ,307 --> 00:06:17,191

Marc Preston: of the movie escaped me.

183

06:17 ,231 --> 00:06:19,400

Marc Preston: I said you're in that tournée, the movie

184

06:19 ,520 --> 00:06:19,941

Marc Preston: the tournée.

185

06:19 ,961 --> 00:06:20,382

Marc Preston: he said yeah.

186

06:20 ,422 --> 00:06:22,005

Marc Preston: he said yeah, it's one of the top three

187

06:22 ,045 --> 00:06:22,866

Marc Preston: tornado movies.

188

06:23 ,086 --> 00:06:25,591

Marc Preston: You know he's being funny, but uh, I did

189

06:25 ,631 --> 00:06:27,517

Marc Preston: see that with my kids, I think last year,

190

06:27 ,637 --> 00:06:28,941

Marc Preston: sometime, Really.

191

06:29 ,712 --> 00:06:31,618

Marc Preston: But as far as your kids, kind of going back

192

06:31 ,638 --> 00:06:33,713

Marc Preston: to that real quick, you said you got a five

193

06:33 ,753 --> 00:06:34,456

Marc Preston: and a two year old.

194

06:34 ,676 --> 00:06:38,299

Nathan Kress: Yes, So yeah, Rosie and Evie, they're

195

06:38 ,600 --> 00:06:41,577

Nathan Kress: awesome, And actually my wife I met on into

196

06:41 ,597 --> 00:06:43,201

Nathan Kress: the storm, Oh, really.

197

06:43 ,410 --> 00:06:47,752

Nathan Kress: She was yeah, she was on the stunt team And

198

06:47 ,852 --> 00:06:50,340

Nathan Kress: we met in the last few weeks of production

199

06:50 ,651 --> 00:06:52,504

Nathan Kress: And if you look really, really close in the

200

06:52 ,605 --> 00:06:54,293

Nathan Kress: climax of it, where we're down in that

201

06:54 ,373 --> 00:06:57,712

Nathan Kress: storm drain and the big tornado is coming

202

06:57 ,752 --> 00:06:59,924

Nathan Kress: and going like right over us, we were

203

07:00 ,568 --> 00:07:03,012

Nathan Kress: positioned together by the director So we

204

07:03 ,052 --> 00:07:06,683

Nathan Kress: spent three weeks in a whole soaking wet

205

07:07 ,185 --> 00:07:09,656

Nathan Kress: with 100 mile an hour winds blowing past us

206

07:09 ,716 --> 00:07:13,353

Nathan Kress: just an absolute misery, and you know

207

07:13 ,394 --> 00:07:14,598

Nathan Kress: that's a bonding experience.

208

07:14 ,831 --> 00:07:16,316

Marc Preston: I was about to say that's, that's something

209

07:16 ,356 --> 00:07:18,073

Marc Preston: that kind of forges a bond that you can't

210

07:18 ,113 --> 00:07:19,658

Marc Preston: really get in any other way.

211

07:19 ,759 --> 00:07:20,120

Marc Preston: You know.

212

07:20 ,350 --> 00:07:22,117

Nathan Kress: Yeah, yeah, there was a group of probably

213

07:22 ,237 --> 00:07:25,198

Nathan Kress: 20 of us, a mix of actors and stunt people,

214

07:25 ,511 --> 00:07:28,247

Nathan Kress: and you know we all got pretty close after

215

07:28 ,307 --> 00:07:30,356

Nathan Kress: a shared traumatic experience like that.

216

07:31 ,190 --> 00:07:32,977

Nathan Kress: But I didn't at the time nothing really

217

07:32 ,997 --> 00:07:33,358

Nathan Kress: because I was.

218

07:33 ,510 --> 00:07:34,931

Nathan Kress: I was dating somebody else at the time, so

219

07:34 ,951 --> 00:07:37,759

Nathan Kress: she was just a co-worker who you know I got

220

07:37 ,799 --> 00:07:38,913

Nathan Kress: along with, but she got along with

221

07:38 ,953 --> 00:07:42,658

Nathan Kress: everybody else too, and so we we met on

222

07:42 ,698 --> 00:07:42,878

Nathan Kress: that.

223

07:42 ,919 --> 00:07:44,652

Nathan Kress: But we didn't really reconnect and become

224

07:44 ,692 --> 00:07:47,120

Nathan Kress: good friends until two years later, after

225

07:47 ,130 --> 00:07:48,617

Nathan Kress: because we should we film that in Michigan.

226

07:48 ,730 --> 00:07:50,897

Nathan Kress: She moved out to LA shortly after that

227

07:50 ,918 --> 00:07:52,796

Nathan Kress: movie was done and was working in the stunt

228

07:52 ,836 --> 00:07:53,057

Nathan Kress: world.

229

07:54 ,230 --> 00:07:55,254

Marc Preston: Is she still doing that now?

230

07:56 ,250 --> 00:07:58,738

Nathan Kress: No, after we got married and had kids we

231

07:58 ,779 --> 00:08:01,717

Nathan Kress: kind of thought maybe stunts is not the

232

08:01 ,778 --> 00:08:02,660

Nathan Kress: best field.

233

08:02 ,930 --> 00:08:04,656

Nathan Kress: You know it's hard to be a mom with like a

234

08:04 ,736 --> 00:08:05,900

Nathan Kress: broken neck, you know.

235

08:07 ,591 --> 00:08:08,916

Nathan Kress: And you know she didn't really do anything

236

08:08 ,956 --> 00:08:10,293

Nathan Kress: too intense, but even the stuff that she

237

08:10 ,353 --> 00:08:12,091

Nathan Kress: did she was getting pretty banged up, you

238

08:12 ,111 --> 00:08:12,291

Nathan Kress: know.

239

08:12 ,372 --> 00:08:15,080

Nathan Kress: and she'd come home and I'd say she had

240

08:15 ,100 --> 00:08:17,100

Nathan Kress: like a big goose egg on her forehead and

241

08:17 ,181 --> 00:08:18,530

Nathan Kress: bruises everywhere and stuff.

242

08:18 ,650 --> 00:08:20,637

Nathan Kress: So she was getting, she was getting pretty

243

08:20 ,678 --> 00:08:23,986

Nathan Kress: beat up And she really liked doing it but

244

08:24 ,026 --> 00:08:26,115

Nathan Kress: she didn't really feel that it was a career

245

08:26 ,196 --> 00:08:26,617

Nathan Kress: calling.

246

08:27 ,030 --> 00:08:28,595

Nathan Kress: And I feel like you really have to feel

247

08:28 ,615 --> 00:08:31,252

Nathan Kress: like stunt work is a calling, to want to

248

08:31 ,292 --> 00:08:33,940

Nathan Kress: commit to what toll that takes on your body.

249

08:34 ,271 --> 00:08:35,175

Nathan Kress: You know I would assume.

250

08:35 ,215 --> 00:08:37,236

Marc Preston: So I would assume that you really you know

251

08:37 ,417 --> 00:08:40,274

Marc Preston: for you to commit to doing it and doing it

252

08:40 ,375 --> 00:08:41,559

Marc Preston: right and being safe.

253

08:41 ,672 --> 00:08:42,710

Marc Preston: It's you really got to be into.

254

08:42 ,790 --> 00:08:44,455

Marc Preston: I think it takes a certain personality type.

255

08:44 ,516 --> 00:08:46,535

Marc Preston: But but the little ones you talk about

256

08:46 ,575 --> 00:08:48,090

Marc Preston: broken neck, i know, depending on you know,

257

08:48 ,211 --> 00:08:50,129

Marc Preston: when you have little ones, the younger they

258

08:50 ,149 --> 00:08:52,626

Marc Preston: are, the more stuff you have to carry, you

259

08:52 ,646 --> 00:08:54,132

Marc Preston: know, and you get older they don't have to

260

08:54 ,313 --> 00:08:56,779

Marc Preston: have so much stuff, you know, or you make

261

08:56 ,799 --> 00:08:57,682

Marc Preston: them carry it themselves.

262

08:58 ,112 --> 00:08:59,405

Marc Preston: Your five year olds I guess they're getting

263

08:59 ,425 --> 00:09:00,793

Marc Preston: to that age now, but you talk about the car

264

09:00 ,853 --> 00:09:02,740

Marc Preston: seats and all that and traveling is so, so

265

09:02 ,760 --> 00:09:03,061

Marc Preston: dynamic.

266

09:03 ,831 --> 00:09:04,052

Nathan Kress: Yeah.

267

09:04 ,092 --> 00:09:07,141

Marc Preston: My kids are twenty eighteen and seventeen

268

09:07 ,633 --> 00:09:09,429

Marc Preston: And my youngest just graduated from high

269

09:09 ,449 --> 00:09:09,570

Marc Preston: school.

270

09:09 ,691 --> 00:09:11,540

Marc Preston: So it's for me it's a little weird, because

271

09:11 ,962 --> 00:09:14,273

Marc Preston: they were that age two seconds ago for me,

272

09:14 ,574 --> 00:09:14,855

Marc Preston: you know.

273

09:15 ,613 --> 00:09:16,970

Marc Preston: So you have two girls, right.

274

09:17 ,090 --> 00:09:20,215

Nathan Kress: Yeah, yeah, two girls, and yeah, i keep

275

09:20 ,275 --> 00:09:20,898

Nathan Kress: hearing you.

276

09:21 Parenting

09:21 ,050 --> 00:09:22,355

Nathan Kress: You've said the same thing that everybody

277

09:22 ,395 --> 00:09:24,353

Nathan Kress: else says, like just, you know, don't blank,

278

09:24 ,373 --> 00:09:26,312

Nathan Kress: because it's going to be over, but we're

279

09:26 ,352 --> 00:09:27,635

Nathan Kress: very much in the.

280

09:28 ,377 --> 00:09:30,803

Nathan Kress: The days are long, but the years are short.

281

09:30 ,991 --> 00:09:32,738

Nathan Kress: And boy, the days are long right now.

282

09:33 ,011 --> 00:09:35,826

Nathan Kress: You know it's and and that's it's so, it's

283

09:35 ,867 --> 00:09:37,433

Nathan Kress: so worth it, and I don't want to seem

284

09:37 ,714 --> 00:09:39,520

Nathan Kress: flippant and to take that for granted.

285

09:39 ,630 --> 00:09:40,673

Nathan Kress: It's just it's.

286

09:40 ,893 --> 00:09:44,401

Nathan Kress: It's because right now, especially in those

287

09:44 ,481 --> 00:09:47,695

Nathan Kress: first five years, we're just trying to put

288

09:47 ,735 --> 00:09:51,062

Nathan Kress: a lot of intentionality and effort into

289

09:51 ,143 --> 00:09:53,456

Nathan Kress: being present for them and and teaching

290

09:53 ,476 --> 00:09:55,321

Nathan Kress: them and giving them a good foundation

291

09:55 ,731 --> 00:09:58,260

Nathan Kress: right now to kickstart them off.

292

09:58 ,693 --> 00:09:59,944

Marc Preston: I was just about to say that word.

293

09:59 ,984 --> 00:10:00,610

Marc Preston: I said be present.

294

10:00 ,691 --> 00:10:02,703

Marc Preston: I mean, i was a single father when they

295

10:02 ,743 --> 00:10:03,810

Marc Preston: were very young, you know.

296

10:03 ,951 --> 00:10:05,809

Marc Preston: So they're all three diapers at the same

297

10:05 ,849 --> 00:10:07,174

Marc Preston: time And I think you can sympathize with

298

10:07 ,214 --> 00:10:09,821

Marc Preston: that, you know, because diaper diaper, age

299

10:10 ,010 --> 00:10:11,535

Marc Preston: does change the dynamic of how you move

300

10:11 ,555 --> 00:10:13,801

Marc Preston: through life, how you travel, all kinds of

301

10:13 ,841 --> 00:10:16,278

Marc Preston: things, and I remember thinking God.

302

10:16 ,358 --> 00:10:18,766

Marc Preston: You know, the one of them was crying and I

303

10:18 ,786 --> 00:10:21,966

Marc Preston: can look back on this And this kind of

304

10:21 ,987 --> 00:10:23,262

Marc Preston: sucks in a moment, but I know I'm going to

305

10:23 ,282 --> 00:10:23,526

Marc Preston: look back.

306

10:23 ,546 --> 00:10:25,130

Marc Preston: Finally, it's one thing I know I got right.

307

10:25 ,894 --> 00:10:27,423

Marc Preston: I said 10 years from now, i mean I'm going

308

10:27 ,443 --> 00:10:28,569

Marc Preston: to want one of these moments back, and I

309

10:28 ,589 --> 00:10:28,770

Marc Preston: was right.

310

10:29 ,300 --> 00:10:29,728

Nathan Kress: Yeah, absolutely.

311

10:30 ,614 --> 00:10:31,981

Nathan Kress: I think we learned a lot.

312

10:32 ,042 --> 00:10:33,288

Nathan Kress: Just just like everybody else is so

313

10:33 ,308 --> 00:10:35,625

Nathan Kress: stereotypical How much you learn between

314

10:35 ,645 --> 00:10:37,995

Nathan Kress: the first and the second kid And with the

315

10:38 ,035 --> 00:10:39,902

Nathan Kress: first one, how personally you take

316

10:40 ,163 --> 00:10:41,930

Nathan Kress: everything and how you just nitpick

317

10:42 ,652 --> 00:10:45,280

Nathan Kress: yourself and you micromanage everything and

318

10:45 ,360 --> 00:10:48,589

Nathan Kress: you just try to nail down every aspect of

319

10:48 ,609 --> 00:10:51,118

Nathan Kress: your life And then once the second one

320

10:51 ,158 --> 00:10:53,568

Nathan Kress: shows up, you just kind of throw it all to

321

10:53 ,608 --> 00:10:55,530

Nathan Kress: the wind and whatever happens happens.

322

10:55 ,530 --> 00:10:57,929

Nathan Kress: And I think I used to be so stressed with

323

10:58 ,044 --> 00:10:59,671

Nathan Kress: the first one And, granted, she had just

324

10:59 ,750 --> 00:11:00,290

Nathan Kress: kind of some.

325

11:00 ,370 --> 00:11:02,716

Nathan Kress: She was a tough baby, she had a lot of

326

11:02 ,797 --> 00:11:04,925

Nathan Kress: colicky and reflux and just a lot of

327

11:04 ,986 --> 00:11:06,355

Nathan Kress: challenges that made the baby phase really

328

11:06 ,436 --> 00:11:08,140

Nathan Kress: hard and sleep, did you?

329

11:08 ,180 --> 00:11:08,929

Marc Preston: did you have to use that?

330

11:09 ,855 --> 00:11:11,405

Marc Preston: I think it's called newtramogen, that

331

11:11 ,505 --> 00:11:12,250

Marc Preston: special formula.

332

11:12 ,531 --> 00:11:15,559

Marc Preston: It's kind of pre digested proteins or

333

11:15 ,579 --> 00:11:15,760

Marc Preston: something.

334

11:15 ,800 --> 00:11:17,013

Marc Preston: It smells Well.

335

11:17 ,033 --> 00:11:19,290

Marc Preston: The babies drink it and they burp.

336

11:19 ,857 --> 00:11:20,790

Marc Preston: It smells God awful.

337

11:21 ,437 --> 00:11:23,677

Marc Preston: It's easier on their stomach And I remember

338

11:23 ,718 --> 00:11:24,645

Marc Preston: my daughter was on that.

339

11:24 ,685 --> 00:11:25,370

Marc Preston: She had the same thing.

340

11:25 ,410 --> 00:11:27,678

Marc Preston: I was like, oh, I cannot wait till we get

341

11:27 ,698 --> 00:11:29,223

Marc Preston: her off this formula because the smell was

342

11:29 ,264 --> 00:11:30,247

Marc Preston: just terrible.

343

11:30 ,648 --> 00:11:31,110

Nathan Kress: Yeah, formula.

344

11:31 ,311 --> 00:11:32,982

Nathan Kress: I don't know what they put in formula but

345

11:33 ,063 --> 00:11:34,190

Nathan Kress: it is gnarly.

346

11:34 ,351 --> 00:11:36,150

Nathan Kress: And we only did formula with our second one.

347

11:36 ,370 --> 00:11:38,213

Nathan Kress: The first one, she was able to breastfeed

348

11:38 ,313 --> 00:11:40,496

Nathan Kress: all the way, all the way through, but still

349

11:40 ,556 --> 00:11:42,779

Nathan Kress: had all that reflux stuff because she had,

350

11:42 ,839 --> 00:11:45,021

Nathan Kress: like you know, in in vitro.

351

11:45 ,102 --> 00:11:46,904

Nathan Kress: She was pretty underdeveloped in, her

352

11:47 ,104 --> 00:11:49,107

Nathan Kress: abdomen was very small and she had to be

353

11:49 ,167 --> 00:11:51,169

Nathan Kress: induced because she just wasn't growing the

354

11:51 ,210 --> 00:11:51,530

Nathan Kress: right way.

355

11:51 ,771 --> 00:11:53,255

Nathan Kress: So we're assuming it all just kind of came

356

11:53 ,275 --> 00:11:54,740

Nathan Kress: from and she just grew out of it eventually.

357

11:55 ,211 --> 00:11:57,002

Nathan Kress: But man, the first part of it was so hard,

358

11:57 ,525 --> 00:11:58,410

Nathan Kress: like the first several months.

359

11:58 ,590 --> 00:12:00,314

Nathan Kress: But now it's gotten to the point where my

360

12:00 ,354 --> 00:12:02,638

Nathan Kress: wife and I think we're getting better at,

361

12:03 ,459 --> 00:12:05,503

Nathan Kress: when madness and chaos is happening around

362

12:05 ,583 --> 00:12:09,735

Nathan Kress: us, laughing, which I don't know if that's

363

12:09 ,775 --> 00:12:11,457

Nathan Kress: good or not, but there's just a certain,

364

12:11 ,477 --> 00:12:12,999

Nathan Kress: there's a certain point when everything

365

12:13 ,039 --> 00:12:16,484

Nathan Kress: gets so insane that you can actually have a

366

12:16 ,644 --> 00:12:19,495

Nathan Kress: decent laugh about it, just how ridiculous

367

12:20 ,297 --> 00:12:20,980

Nathan Kress: it all is.

368

12:21 ,711 --> 00:12:24,578

Nathan Kress: And you know, laugh instead of cry, i guess,

369

12:24 ,598 --> 00:12:26,081

Nathan Kress: because otherwise it would just be too

370

12:26 ,262 --> 00:12:26,823

Nathan Kress: overwhelming.

371

12:26 ,950 --> 00:12:28,635

Nathan Kress: But yeah, i think we've just gotten to the

372

12:28 ,675 --> 00:12:30,540

Nathan Kress: point where we just don't take it so

373

12:30 ,600 --> 00:12:32,140

Nathan Kress: seriously, we don't take ourselves so

374

12:32 ,201 --> 00:12:32,706

Nathan Kress: seriously.

375

12:32 ,726 --> 00:12:34,693

Marc Preston: Yeah, Once they start elementary school it

376

12:34 ,754 --> 00:12:37,680

Marc Preston: kind of dials the storm, kind of calms a

377

12:37 ,720 --> 00:12:38,522

Marc Preston: little bit, you know.

378

12:39 ,150 --> 00:12:40,775

Marc Preston: But at least you've got both y'all both

379

12:40 ,915 --> 00:12:41,216

Marc Preston: kind of.

380

12:41 ,718 --> 00:12:43,051

Marc Preston: you know it's a team effort, you know

381

12:43 ,092 --> 00:12:44,451

Marc Preston: that's always good to hear, you know.

382

12:44 ,552 --> 00:12:46,558

Marc Preston: so that's that makes life for both y'all a

383

12:46 ,578 --> 00:12:47,120

Marc Preston: lot easier.

384

12:47 ,170 --> 00:12:48,034

Marc Preston: You know, are y'all living?

385

12:48 ,970 --> 00:12:50,817

Marc Preston: Do you have family out out in California as

386

12:49 Reconnecting With Old Co-Stars

12:50 ,857 --> 00:12:51,098

Marc Preston: well?

387

12:51 ,730 --> 00:12:53,877

Nathan Kress: Yeah, my side of the family is basically

388

12:53 ,957 --> 00:12:56,432

Nathan Kress: all in California, so my parents are, you

389

12:56 ,452 --> 00:13:00,638

Nathan Kress: know, an hour away, close enough to come by

390

13:00 ,698 --> 00:13:03,623

Nathan Kress: if something crazy is happening, you know,

391

13:03 ,643 --> 00:13:05,085

Nathan Kress: and we need them in a pinch.

392

13:05 ,150 --> 00:13:09,361

Nathan Kress: And then my wife's dad flies for an airline

393

13:09 ,770 --> 00:13:12,659

Nathan Kress: So they fly, you know, on standby for free

394

13:12 ,699 --> 00:13:15,917

Nathan Kress: all the time So they're able to just come

395

13:16 ,017 --> 00:13:17,502

Nathan Kress: out, stay as long as they want.

396

13:17 ,630 --> 00:13:21,258

Nathan Kress: He can make LA his home base temporarily so

397

13:21 ,318 --> 00:13:23,683

Nathan Kress: he can keep working while they're here.

398

13:23 ,850 --> 00:13:25,938

Nathan Kress: And it's an amazing situation.

399

13:26 ,250 --> 00:13:27,133

Nathan Kress: Where is your family from?

400

13:27 ,174 --> 00:13:28,679

Nathan Kress: originally Michigan, michigan.

401

13:28 ,810 --> 00:13:29,895

Marc Preston: That's where we started this film.

402

13:29 ,950 --> 00:13:31,295

Nathan Kress: That's yeah, that's where they're all from

403

13:31 ,335 --> 00:13:32,358

Nathan Kress: and they're still based out of.

404

13:32 ,850 --> 00:13:35,337

Nathan Kress: She's the oldest of four sisters, and all

405

13:35 ,357 --> 00:13:36,900

Nathan Kress: of the sisters are in different states

406

13:37 ,101 --> 00:13:39,895

Nathan Kress: right now, and then they go from Michigan

407

13:39 ,935 --> 00:13:42,661

Nathan Kress: and just fly around to wherever any of the

408

13:42 ,842 --> 00:13:43,623

Nathan Kress: the siblings are.

409

13:43 ,750 --> 00:13:46,199

Nathan Kress: So we're we're the only ones with kids

410

13:46 ,239 --> 00:13:48,434

Nathan Kress: right now, so we get to monopolize a little

411

13:48 ,454 --> 00:13:50,118

Nathan Kress: bit of the grandparents support, which is

412

13:50 ,859 --> 00:13:51,140

Nathan Kress: awesome.

413

13:52 ,730 --> 00:13:55,017

Nathan Kress: So, yeah, we great family support, great

414

13:55 ,137 --> 00:13:58,056

Nathan Kress: neighbors, friends We're very, very lucky.

415

13:58 ,351 --> 00:14:01,230

Nathan Kress: We're definitely not on an island, that's

416

14:01 ,271 --> 00:14:01,631

Nathan Kress: for sure.

417

14:08 ,907 --> 00:14:10,350

Marc Preston: What were your days like when you were

418

14:10 ,390 --> 00:14:10,651

Marc Preston: filming?

419

14:10 ,731 --> 00:14:13,998

Nathan Kress: I, carly As a kid on the original or now.

420

14:15 ,082 --> 00:14:16,506

Marc Preston: Oh, no, no, no, i'm sorry, like right now

421

14:17 ,127 --> 00:14:19,172

Marc Preston: the recent episodes, because your

422

14:19 ,212 --> 00:14:20,856

Marc Preston: production schedule when you're doing TV

423

14:21 ,398 --> 00:14:23,103

Marc Preston: that's a big chunk of your day, and when

424

14:23 ,123 --> 00:14:25,413

Marc Preston: you come home you're wanting to decompress.

425

14:25 ,433 --> 00:14:26,678

Marc Preston: But you're coming home and you're right in

426

14:26 ,718 --> 00:14:27,079

Marc Preston: it again.

427

14:27 ,099 --> 00:14:27,280

Marc Preston: You know.

428

14:27 ,601 --> 00:14:28,344

Announcer: So, was it taxing?

429

14:28 ,404 --> 00:14:30,031

Marc Preston: at all Having small children at home while

430

14:30 ,091 --> 00:14:31,216

Marc Preston: you're filming a show.

431

14:33 ,341 --> 00:14:34,283

Nathan Kress: Yes, it is.

432

14:34 ,523 --> 00:14:40,311

Nathan Kress: It juggling the desire to want to disengage

433

14:40 ,631 --> 00:14:43,054

Nathan Kress: and be fully present with them and not

434

14:43 ,094 --> 00:14:45,317

Nathan Kress: distracted in the midst of a production

435

14:45 ,357 --> 00:14:48,082

Nathan Kress: cycle is a constant struggle, and

436

14:48 ,402 --> 00:14:49,365

Nathan Kress: especially when they're young.

437

14:49 ,505 --> 00:14:50,988

Nathan Kress: A lot of the time they were going to bed

438

14:51 ,129 --> 00:14:52,993

Nathan Kress: before I even got home.

439

14:53 ,621 --> 00:14:55,584

Nathan Kress: But I will say the massive ups.

440

14:55 ,724 --> 00:14:59,010

Nathan Kress: I'm so grateful that right now my career

441

14:59 ,070 --> 00:15:00,532

Nathan Kress: has me at a place where I'm doing a

442

15:00 ,752 --> 00:15:04,422

Nathan Kress: multi-cam sitcom, because if you know

443

15:04 ,782 --> 00:15:08,646

Nathan Kress: production schedules at all, it is the best,

444

15:08 ,947 --> 00:15:12,070

Nathan Kress: most relaxed, most consistent and most

445

15:12 ,290 --> 00:15:15,874

Nathan Kress: normal work schedule of any television

446

15:16 ,034 --> 00:15:18,296

Nathan Kress: project or movie for that matter that you

447

15:18 ,336 --> 00:15:21,645

Nathan Kress: could ever do, because you're only

448

15:21 ,765 --> 00:15:24,070

Nathan Kress: rehearsing two to three days a week and

449

15:24 ,110 --> 00:15:26,274

Nathan Kress: then shooting the other two or three days.

450

15:26 ,541 --> 00:15:29,207

Nathan Kress: So rehearsals are maybe eight hours long.

451

15:29 ,348 --> 00:15:31,613

Nathan Kress: So I have kind of a typical nine to five,

452

15:31 ,814 --> 00:15:33,719

Nathan Kress: and then my last two days of the week are

453

15:33 ,739 --> 00:15:34,280

Nathan Kress: longer.

454

15:34 ,967 --> 00:15:36,280

Nathan Kress: And how many episodes did y'all shoot?

455

15:37 ,362 --> 00:15:40,086

Nathan Kress: We did 13 in the first season and then,

456

15:40 ,927 --> 00:15:42,650

Nathan Kress: right after that, i think, paramount made

457

15:42 ,670 --> 00:15:44,212

Nathan Kress: the call that all of their shows were going

458

15:44 ,232 --> 00:15:46,135

Nathan Kress: to be capped at 10 episodes per season.

459

15:46 ,360 --> 00:15:46,601

Marc Preston: Really.

460

15:46 ,641 --> 00:15:49,147

Marc Preston: Yeah, I know some shows have bumped down to

461

15:49 ,267 --> 00:15:51,453

Marc Preston: eight and I think my son and I just got

462

15:51 ,473 --> 00:15:53,618

Marc Preston: done watching a series that was even just

463

15:53 ,658 --> 00:15:54,280

Marc Preston: six episodes.

464

15:55 ,027 --> 00:15:56,280

Marc Preston: That wasn't really satisfying enough.

465

15:56 ,621 --> 00:16:00,189

Nathan Kress: Yeah, it's a difficult casualty from the

466

16:00 ,289 --> 00:16:03,863

Nathan Kress: streaming service model You used to, even

467

16:03 ,903 --> 00:16:05,045

Nathan Kress: for multi-cam sitcoms.

468

16:05 ,085 --> 00:16:10,073

Nathan Kress: You had a 22, 26 episode run and you got to

469

16:10 ,113 --> 00:16:11,736

Nathan Kress: really flesh out the stories and do

470

16:11 ,756 --> 00:16:12,898

Nathan Kress: different stuff with the characters and

471

16:12 ,938 --> 00:16:15,882

Nathan Kress: have longer arcs And we've had to really

472

16:16 ,023 --> 00:16:21,671

Nathan Kress: truncate these characters and do things a

473

16:21 ,731 --> 00:16:23,674

Nathan Kress: little bit faster than maybe we would have

474

16:23 ,694 --> 00:16:24,135

Nathan Kress: wanted to.

475

16:25 ,081 --> 00:16:26,364

Nathan Kress: You really hit your groove at around

476

16:26 ,444 --> 00:16:30,071

Nathan Kress: episode nine or ten and it stinks that.

477

16:30 ,091 --> 00:16:31,874

Nathan Kress: That's now right when the season ends.

478

16:33 ,223 --> 00:16:35,029

Nathan Kress: So it's a little bit of a bummer.

479

16:35 ,300 --> 00:16:37,365

Nathan Kress: But fortunately we had the benefit of an

480

16:37 ,445 --> 00:16:41,235

Nathan Kress: entire show's worth of lore and character

481

16:41 ,295 --> 00:16:42,859

Nathan Kress: development to build off of something, and

482

16:42 ,879 --> 00:16:44,553

Nathan Kress: it already existed, so we didn't have to

483

16:44 ,613 --> 00:16:45,280

Nathan Kress: start completely fresh.

484

16:47 ,726 --> 00:16:49,150

Nathan Kress: So we had something going for us where we

485

16:49 ,170 --> 00:16:51,115

Nathan Kress: could hit the ground running, maybe more

486

16:51 ,155 --> 00:16:53,280

Nathan Kress: than a brand new show with totally new IP.

487

16:54 ,062 --> 00:16:56,707

Marc Preston: Well, that brings up the question of here

488

16:56 ,767 --> 00:16:59,492

Marc Preston: you are doing a show with folks you have

489

16:59 ,553 --> 00:17:00,855

Marc Preston: acted with before.

490

17:01 ,296 --> 00:17:02,538

Marc Preston: Was there a shorthand, was there an ease?

491

17:02 ,559 --> 00:17:03,260

Marc Preston: Could you ease back into it?

492

17:03 ,803 --> 00:17:07,240

Marc Preston: Or was everybody's life in your 2023?

493

17:08 ,229 --> 00:17:09,280

Marc Preston: Was their life so different?

494

17:09 ,802 --> 00:17:11,429

Marc Preston: Was it kind of like meeting them for the

495

17:11 ,449 --> 00:17:13,176

Marc Preston: first time again or working with them for

496

17:13 ,196 --> 00:17:14,240

Marc Preston: the first time again, in a way?

497

17:17 ,031 --> 00:17:19,059

Nathan Kress: I was a little nervous about that at the

498

17:19 ,079 --> 00:17:19,280

Nathan Kress: beginning.

499

17:20 ,082 --> 00:17:21,746

Nathan Kress: I wasn't sure if it would be like riding a

500

17:21 ,766 --> 00:17:23,390

Nathan Kress: bike or if it was going to be very awkward

501

17:23 ,450 --> 00:17:23,952

Nathan Kress: and clunky.

502

17:24 ,822 --> 00:17:25,203

Nathan Kress: Then it was.

503

17:25 ,303 --> 00:17:26,909

Nathan Kress: You know what is the expectation?

504

17:27 ,701 --> 00:17:30,166

Nathan Kress: Is the network going to be disappointed in

505

17:30 ,267 --> 00:17:34,376

Nathan Kress: us if it's not the same kind of snappy

506

17:34 ,476 --> 00:17:36,260

Nathan Kress: chemistry and magic that there was before,

507

17:36 ,841 --> 00:17:42,168

Nathan Kress: but luckily I mean other than the kind of

508

17:42 ,248 --> 00:17:44,671

Nathan Kress: understandable freshman jitters of figuring

509

17:44 ,851 --> 00:17:47,255

Nathan Kress: out, you know, are we taking our characters

510

17:47 ,295 --> 00:17:48,136

Nathan Kress: in the right direction?

511

17:48 ,380 --> 00:17:50,044

Nathan Kress: I think the nerves were more on the

512

17:50 ,124 --> 00:17:52,549

Nathan Kress: individual of you know.

513

17:52 ,690 --> 00:17:54,073

Nathan Kress: Are we doing the right thing?

514

17:54 ,360 --> 00:17:55,947

Nathan Kress: Are we doing our characters justice?

515

17:56 ,922 --> 00:17:59,420

Nathan Kress: Is it enough like how it used to be, but is

516

17:59 ,440 --> 00:18:01,526

Nathan Kress: it also new enough at the same time?

517

18:01 ,667 --> 00:18:04,303

Nathan Kress: finding that balance, that was the part

518

18:04 ,344 --> 00:18:05,447

Nathan Kress: that was more nerve-wracking.

519

18:06 ,340 --> 00:18:09,325

Nathan Kress: But once we all got in the same room by the

520

18:09 ,365 --> 00:18:10,988

Nathan Kress: end of the first day, it was just.

521

18:11 ,969 --> 00:18:14,834

Nathan Kress: It just felt exactly like how it felt.

522

18:15 ,280 --> 00:18:18,389

Nathan Kress: It was like putting on a cozy blanket.

523

18:18 ,910 --> 00:18:23,011

Nathan Kress: You know It's a safe place for me, honestly,

524

18:23 ,460 --> 00:18:25,303

Nathan Kress: it's just a place with people that I know

525

18:25 ,343 --> 00:18:29,569

Nathan Kress: and love, who we all care so much about the

526

18:29 ,629 --> 00:18:32,854

Nathan Kress: show and are so collaborative in the

527

18:32 ,894 --> 00:18:33,374

Nathan Kress: process.

528

18:35 ,763 --> 00:18:38,970

Nathan Kress: Miranda is an executive producer and holds

529

18:39 ,071 --> 00:18:41,917

Nathan Kress: a ton of creative control, but she doesn't

530

18:42 ,478 --> 00:18:43,240

Nathan Kress: hold that over anyone.

531

18:44 ,083 --> 00:18:45,808

Nathan Kress: It's very much a team effort and we have a

532

18:45 ,969 --> 00:18:48,939

Nathan Kress: lot of conversations about the best ways

533

18:48 ,959 --> 00:18:51,424

Nathan Kress: forward And everybody's opinion is welcome.

534

18:51 ,565 --> 00:18:55,272

Nathan Kress: Our writers are so, so collaborative and

535

18:55 ,312 --> 00:18:56,962

Nathan Kress: welcoming to that And we're so thankful for

536

18:57 ,002 --> 00:18:58,507

Nathan Kress: that, because a lot of shows are not that

537

18:58 ,568 --> 00:18:59,190

Nathan Kress: way, you know.

538

18:59 ,701 --> 00:19:01,204

Nathan Kress: But I think they have some trust in us

539

19:01 ,344 --> 00:19:04,070

Nathan Kress: being the voices of those characters for so

540

19:04 ,130 --> 00:19:06,582

Nathan Kress: long and knowing what Well, that's the

541

19:06 ,602 --> 00:19:08,273

Nathan Kress: beauty of TV, you know.

542

19:08 ,454 --> 00:19:10,143

Marc Preston: Especially with series, You're rotating

543

19:10 ,184 --> 00:19:11,167

Marc Preston: directors regularly.

544

19:11 ,501 --> 00:19:14,409

Marc Preston: You really take ownership of the character

545

19:14 ,489 --> 00:19:15,091

Marc Preston: after a while.

546

19:15 ,983 --> 00:19:17,460

Nathan Kress: Right, and it's all new director And

547

19:17 ,520 --> 00:19:20,566

Nathan Kress: basically the only people who came over,

548

19:21 ,367 --> 00:19:23,952

Nathan Kress: even on the creative side, were Miranda,

549

19:23 ,992 --> 00:19:27,304

Nathan Kress: Jerry and I, The showrunner, the writers,

550

19:28 ,166 --> 00:19:30,791

Nathan Kress: everybody is brand new.

551

19:33 ,542 --> 00:19:36,948

Nathan Kress: So that is where I think they relied on us

552

19:37 ,028 --> 00:19:40,333

Nathan Kress: a little bit and trusted us to sort of

553

19:40 ,474 --> 00:19:42,103

Nathan Kress: steer the ship, at least for ourselves

554

19:42 ,203 --> 00:19:44,330

Nathan Kress: individually and then together as a whole,

555

19:44 ,410 --> 00:19:45,996

Nathan Kress: when we would put our heads together and

556

19:46 ,056 --> 00:19:46,758

Nathan Kress: collaborate on.

557

19:46 ,778 --> 00:19:49,394

Nathan Kress: You know, does this feel like I, Carly, or

558

19:47 Making the Transition from Child to Adult Actor

19:49 ,434 --> 00:19:49,978

Nathan Kress: not, you know?

559

19:50 ,941 --> 00:19:54,847

Nathan Kress: So we're again, just I'm so, so grateful

560

19:54 ,907 --> 00:19:57,872

Nathan Kress: for our writing team just being willing to

561

19:58 ,473 --> 00:19:59,674

Nathan Kress: have that conversation.

562

19:59 ,875 --> 00:20:01,603

Nathan Kress: You know, Because we're in a very unique

563

20:02 ,224 --> 00:20:04,929

Nathan Kress: spot where no other show has really done

564

20:04 ,949 --> 00:20:06,452

Nathan Kress: this, where it's an honest to goodness,

565

20:06 ,492 --> 00:20:09,966

Nathan Kress: kids show that transition to an adult show

566

20:10 ,086 --> 00:20:12,852

Nathan Kress: with a lot of the same characters and not

567

20:12 ,932 --> 00:20:15,627

Nathan Kress: just oh, we're rebooting it and they're old

568

20:15 ,687 --> 00:20:17,742

Nathan Kress: now, but it's about the kids, It's the next

569

20:17 ,802 --> 00:20:18,905

Nathan Kress: generation, you know.

570

20:20 ,641 --> 00:20:23,529

Nathan Kress: That, I feel like, is the traditional model,

571

20:24 ,300 --> 00:20:26,708

Nathan Kress: But we just kept going.

572

20:27 ,641 --> 00:20:29,806

Nathan Kress: So there's different needs.

573

20:30 ,327 --> 00:20:32,732

Nathan Kress: I think, creatively in a show like that,

574

20:33 ,280 --> 00:20:35,423

Nathan Kress: Being able to help out and kind of be at

575

20:35 ,463 --> 00:20:39,028

Nathan Kress: the forefront has been just so, so great

576

20:39 ,188 --> 00:20:43,794

Nathan Kress: and fulfilling to be able to be involved in

577

20:43 ,874 --> 00:20:44,855

Nathan Kress: bringing this to the fans.

578

20:45 ,300 --> 00:20:47,280

Marc Preston: Now, which streamer is this going to be on?

579

20:47 ,581 --> 00:20:50,728

580

20:50 ,928 --> 00:20:52,892

Nathan Kress: all of the episodes of the old show as well

581

20:53 ,280 --> 00:20:55,017

Nathan Kress: 2007,.

582

20:55 ,139 --> 00:20:55,260

Marc Preston: Right?

583

20:55 ,320 --> 00:20:58,963

Marc Preston: Was that the original air Doing this?

584

21:00 ,326 --> 00:21:00,567

Marc Preston: is it?

585

21:00 ,967 --> 00:21:02,370

Marc Preston: do you have this kind of sensation where

586

21:02 ,390 --> 00:21:04,735

Marc Preston: you want to bounce back into something new,

587

21:04 ,855 --> 00:21:06,679

Marc Preston: something adult, something you know, or

588

21:06 ,719 --> 00:21:08,629

Marc Preston: more adult, let's say, or are you kind of

589

21:08 ,689 --> 00:21:09,978

Marc Preston: enjoying this moment and kind of want to

590

21:09 ,998 --> 00:21:10,280

Marc Preston: stick with it?

591

21:11 ,182 --> 00:21:12,504

Marc Preston: You mentioned creatively?

592

21:12 ,565 --> 00:21:13,827

Marc Preston: is this something where you want to be

593

21:13 ,867 --> 00:21:15,290

Marc Preston: doing this for a while, or are you kind of

594

21:15 ,310 --> 00:21:16,873

Marc Preston: want to put something different in the mix?

595

21:18 ,642 --> 00:21:22,507

Nathan Kress: It's so hard to say because, again, I love

596

21:22 ,588 --> 00:21:25,792

Nathan Kress: this show so much and I love that we're

597

21:25 ,892 --> 00:21:28,861

Nathan Kress: able to keep these characters going And I

598

21:28 ,901 --> 00:21:30,524

Nathan Kress: think there's a lot of story left,

599

21:30 ,585 --> 00:21:32,308

Nathan Kress: especially with how things are going to

600

21:32 ,328 --> 00:21:34,292

Nathan Kress: change for the characters in the third

601

21:34 ,372 --> 00:21:40,765

Nathan Kress: season, For the fact that it's something

602

21:41 ,005 --> 00:21:47,670

Nathan Kress: that people loved as kids and I would like

603

21:47 ,931 --> 00:21:49,312

Nathan Kress: nine times out of ten.

604

21:49 Future of iCarly and Career Goals

21:49 ,472 --> 00:21:51,574

Nathan Kress: The reaction for people who have actually

605

21:51 ,674 --> 00:21:55,177

Nathan Kress: seen the new show is that they feel that

606

21:55 ,217 --> 00:21:56,157

Nathan Kress: we've done it justice.

607

21:57 ,101 --> 00:21:58,865

Nathan Kress: It's the same enough but different enough

608

21:58 ,945 --> 00:22:00,127

Nathan Kress: to keep them engaged.

609

22:00 ,588 --> 00:22:02,712

Nathan Kress: We want to keep that going and keep telling

610

22:02 ,732 --> 00:22:04,675

Nathan Kress: that story for essentially as long as we're

611

22:04 ,715 --> 00:22:06,979

Nathan Kress: welcome, you know, and as long as people

612

22:06 ,999 --> 00:22:07,280

Nathan Kress: keep liking it.

613

22:07 ,882 --> 00:22:10,048

Nathan Kress: So I could see doing this for a long time

614

22:10 ,148 --> 00:22:12,154

Nathan Kress: and then, selfishly, like I said before,

615

22:12 ,455 --> 00:22:13,999

Nathan Kress: it's the best schedule ever if you want to

616

22:14 ,019 --> 00:22:14,280

Nathan Kress: have a family.

617

22:15 ,041 --> 00:22:17,365

Nathan Kress: So while the kids are young, I can have

618

22:17 ,425 --> 00:22:19,388

Nathan Kress: consistent hours and I'm not in Vancouver

619

22:19 ,428 --> 00:22:22,593

Nathan Kress: doing night shoots in spandex, you know, as

620

22:22 ,773 --> 00:22:26,462

Nathan Kress: a superhero, And that would be so cool in

621

22:26 ,502 --> 00:22:27,083

Nathan Kress: its own way.

622

22:27 ,283 --> 00:22:30,787

Nathan Kress: But in the real life Nathan Kress phase

623

22:30 ,807 --> 00:22:33,450

Nathan Kress: that I'm in right now with young kids, this

624

22:33 ,570 --> 00:22:37,034

Nathan Kress: is the best balance for a work life

625

22:37 ,494 --> 00:22:38,035

Nathan Kress: engagement.

626

22:38 ,235 --> 00:22:39,981

Marc Preston: Icarly was originally a Nickelodeon show,

627

22:40 ,001 --> 00:22:40,362

Marc Preston: correct?

628

22:40 ,863 --> 00:22:41,044

Nathan Kress: Yes.

629

22:41 ,445 --> 00:22:42,921

Nathan Kress: OK, And technically they're still involved

630

22:43 ,156 --> 00:22:44,020

Nathan Kress: at the studio level.

631

22:44 ,155 --> 00:22:45,561

Nathan Kress: So the executives and stuff that we're

632

22:45 ,581 --> 00:22:48,381

Nathan Kress: working with are people that I've known for

633

22:48 ,963 --> 00:22:51,278

Nathan Kress: years and years, including just being a

634

22:51 ,338 --> 00:22:54,036

Nathan Kress: director on other Nickelodeon shows after

635

22:54 ,096 --> 00:22:56,162

Nathan Kress: Icarly ended, where those are people that I

636

22:56 ,283 --> 00:22:57,526

Nathan Kress: interacted with frequently.

637

22:57 ,978 --> 00:23:00,115

Marc Preston: What creatively do you want to if you're

638

23:00 ,175 --> 00:23:01,622

Marc Preston: looking five years down the road?

639

23:01 ,655 --> 00:23:02,980

Marc Preston: what kind of things would you like to be

640

23:03 ,040 --> 00:23:05,120

Marc Preston: doing if it's different than this?

641

23:05 ,315 --> 00:23:07,824

Marc Preston: What kind of film are you more directing,

642

23:07 ,915 --> 00:23:08,518

Marc Preston: or maybe writing?

643

23:09 ,221 --> 00:23:09,442

Nathan Kress: Right.

644

23:09 ,555 --> 00:23:13,326

Nathan Kress: So first off, yeah, on the directing side,

645

23:13 ,415 --> 00:23:15,503

Nathan Kress: i've been directing since 2014.

646

23:15 ,555 --> 00:23:17,904

Nathan Kress: So I've done about 20 episodes of TV,

647

23:18 ,095 --> 00:23:19,600

Nathan Kress: including several episodes of the new

648

23:19 ,620 --> 00:23:20,443

Nathan Kress: Icarly.

649

23:21 ,335 --> 00:23:23,002

Nathan Kress: So I definitely want to keep doing that.

650

23:23 The Challenges of Multicam Directing

23:23 ,095 --> 00:23:25,398

Nathan Kress: I love directing Multicam, growing up on it.

651

23:26 ,080 --> 00:23:28,466

Nathan Kress: It's really difficult to learn how to do.

652

23:28 ,675 --> 00:23:31,315

Nathan Kress: You kind of have to just be around it and

653

23:31 ,355 --> 00:23:32,841

Nathan Kress: have experience with it to know how.

654

23:32 ,881 --> 00:23:34,618

Nathan Kress: There's no class, there's no film school

655

23:34 ,658 --> 00:23:35,220

Nathan Kress: you can go to.

656

23:35 ,260 --> 00:23:37,499

Nathan Kress: for Multicam, is that easier or more

657

23:37 ,519 --> 00:23:37,940

Nathan Kress: difficult?

658

23:37 ,981 --> 00:23:38,262

Nathan Kress: for you?

659

23:39 ,177 --> 00:23:42,180

Nathan Kress: It's a lot more difficult Because with

660

23:42 ,341 --> 00:23:44,878

Nathan Kress: Singlecam you just know I'm going to get my

661

23:45 ,018 --> 00:23:47,036

Nathan Kress: wides, my tights, my mediums and maybe a

662

23:47 ,097 --> 00:23:47,760

Nathan Kress: couple crosses.

663

23:48 ,415 --> 00:23:53,618

Nathan Kress: With Multicam, it's a dialect, it's like a

664

23:53 ,779 --> 00:23:56,053

Nathan Kress: language, and you're not totally by

665

23:56 ,073 --> 00:23:56,235

Nathan Kress: yourself.

666

23:56 ,476 --> 00:23:57,841

Nathan Kress: You're working with an associate director,

667

23:57 ,862 --> 00:24:00,342

Nathan Kress: a camera coordinator, who will sit down

668

24:00 ,362 --> 00:24:03,141

Nathan Kress: with you and say OK, so a B camera is going

669

24:03 ,161 --> 00:24:05,260

Nathan Kress: to have a single here, but after this actor

670

24:05 ,300 --> 00:24:06,798

Nathan Kress: says this line, it's going to pan over here

671

24:06 ,818 --> 00:24:10,122

Nathan Kress: and get this two shot, while X goes to that

672

24:10 ,222 --> 00:24:11,577

Nathan Kress: character because they're going to cross

673

24:11 ,657 --> 00:24:12,099

Nathan Kress: over here.

674

24:12 ,675 --> 00:24:16,986

Nathan Kress: So Multicam has this hybrid of television

675

24:17 ,026 --> 00:24:20,022

Nathan Kress: and theater where you're staging it on a

676

24:20 ,082 --> 00:24:21,957

Nathan Kress: set with a proscenium where you only have

677

24:22 ,118 --> 00:24:24,336

Nathan Kress: three walls and then the audience is the

678

24:24 ,356 --> 00:24:25,862

Nathan Kress: fourth wall, like a theater set.

679

24:26 ,375 --> 00:24:28,843

Marc Preston: Yeah, it sounds like have a visual ballet a

680

24:28 ,903 --> 00:24:29,245

Marc Preston: little bit.

681

24:29 ,375 --> 00:24:30,701

Marc Preston: Yes absolutely.

682

24:31 ,116 --> 00:24:33,997

Nathan Kress: It's very, very intricate Because the

683

24:34 ,138 --> 00:24:36,505

Nathan Kress: audience if you're one person with one pair

684

24:36 ,545 --> 00:24:38,161

Nathan Kress: of eyes, you can see the whole stage at one

685

24:38 ,201 --> 00:24:38,381

Nathan Kress: time.

686

24:38 ,435 --> 00:24:39,580

Nathan Kress: You're able to watch whatever you want to

687

24:39 ,600 --> 00:24:42,682

Nathan Kress: watch, but you basically have four

688

24:42 ,742 --> 00:24:45,601

Nathan Kress: perspectives that you can take at any given

689

24:45 ,662 --> 00:24:45,943

Nathan Kress: time.

690

24:46 ,115 --> 00:24:48,142

Nathan Kress: But if you have a scene with nine people in

691

24:48 ,182 --> 00:24:50,395

Nathan Kress: it, you can't just put them all together.

692

24:50 ,475 --> 00:24:51,921

Nathan Kress: They're going to be all on different sides

693

24:51 ,961 --> 00:24:52,343

Nathan Kress: of the room.

694

24:52 ,555 --> 00:24:58,307

Nathan Kress: So there is a lot of math that has to be

695

24:58 ,367 --> 00:25:01,143

Nathan Kress: done And it's a really tough skill to learn.

696

25:01 ,416 --> 00:25:03,062

Nathan Kress: And those guys those camera coordinators

697

25:03 ,082 --> 00:25:06,042

Nathan Kress: and associate directors they've been camera

698

25:06 ,122 --> 00:25:09,081

Nathan Kress: operators since the 90s on home improvement

699

25:09 ,656 --> 00:25:11,201

Nathan Kress: And they're the audience switchers for a

700

25:11 ,281 --> 00:25:12,305

Nathan Kress: live audience show.

701

25:12 ,615 --> 00:25:14,496

Nathan Kress: So they've been doing live edits And they

702

25:14 ,596 --> 00:25:16,459

Nathan Kress: know the language, they know what needs to

703

25:16 ,519 --> 00:25:17,041

Nathan Kress: happen when.

704

25:17 ,175 --> 00:25:19,343

Nathan Kress: So there's various ways into the field.

705

25:19 ,515 --> 00:25:23,566

Nathan Kress: There are pretty few pure actors who

706

25:23 ,835 --> 00:25:25,775

Nathan Kress: transition into Multicam directing, but

707

25:25 ,795 --> 00:25:28,877

Nathan Kress: there are several And I've really really

708

25:28 ,958 --> 00:25:32,499

Nathan Kress: enjoyed learning from them Because we share

709

25:32 ,519 --> 00:25:34,980

Nathan Kress: similar perspectives as the actors director,

710

25:35 ,895 --> 00:25:37,280

Nathan Kress: so I definitely wanted to do that.

711

25:38 ,355 --> 00:25:40,196

Nathan Kress: I'm producing on the show now too, which

712

25:40 ,216 --> 00:25:42,738

Nathan Kress: has given me a really good look at the nuts

713

25:42 ,778 --> 00:25:46,716

Nathan Kress: and bolts of how a production is done, and

714

25:46 ,797 --> 00:25:48,235

Nathan Kress: being involved in that has been awesome And

715

25:48 ,296 --> 00:25:50,237

Nathan Kress: that's something that I would want to do on

716

25:50 ,318 --> 00:25:51,803

Nathan Kress: any show that I act on.

717

25:52 ,575 --> 00:25:54,476

Nathan Kress: But as far as the acting stuff goes, i

718

25:54 ,756 --> 00:25:56,922

Nathan Kress: honestly would love to take a completely

719

25:57 ,643 --> 00:25:58,706

Nathan Kress: different approach.

720

25:59 ,737 --> 00:26:00,560

Nathan Kress: I love comedy.

721

26:01 ,015 --> 00:26:01,940

Nathan Kress: I love Multicam.

722

26:02 ,938 --> 00:26:05,396

Nathan Kress: If you could tell me right now you could be

723

26:05 ,517 --> 00:26:07,323

Nathan Kress: on a Multicam show for the rest of your

724

26:07 ,363 --> 00:26:09,296

Nathan Kress: life And everyone would just love it And it

725

26:09 ,336 --> 00:26:11,457

Nathan Kress: would be a rating smash And no one would

726

26:11 ,477 --> 00:26:12,501

Nathan Kress: ever get tired of it.

727

26:13 ,755 --> 00:26:14,840

Nathan Kress: I wouldn't get tired of it either.

728

26:14 ,955 --> 00:26:16,320

Nathan Kress: I would do it for the rest of my life.

729

26:17 ,075 --> 00:26:20,144

Nathan Kress: But at the same time and this is also where

730

26:20 ,164 --> 00:26:22,080

Nathan Kress: Multicam is nice you get big, long hiatuses

731

26:22 ,201 --> 00:26:23,479

Nathan Kress: usually And that's where you can go off and

732

26:23 ,519 --> 00:26:24,121

Nathan Kress: do other stuff.

733

26:24 ,555 --> 00:26:27,063

Nathan Kress: So if I could do anything other than this,

734

26:28 ,175 --> 00:26:30,463

Nathan Kress: it would be completely the other direction.

735

26:30 ,675 --> 00:26:35,747

Nathan Kress: Like gritty military drama, the Hurt Locker

736

26:36 ,575 --> 00:26:40,725

Nathan Kress: Saving Private Ryan, a cockmoot training

737

26:40 ,786 --> 00:26:44,483

Nathan Kress: day, anything in the police military vein.

738

26:46 ,135 --> 00:26:47,320

Nathan Kress: That's just been one of my interests since

739

26:47 ,380 --> 00:26:49,618

Nathan Kress: I was a really, really young kid and

740

26:49 ,699 --> 00:26:52,907

Nathan Kress: portraying that has always been something

741

26:52 ,955 --> 00:26:55,595

Nathan Kress: that I've been really interested in And

742

26:55 ,996 --> 00:27:01,579

Nathan Kress: there's always just so much story there And,

743

27:01 ,739 --> 00:27:05,895

Nathan Kress: again, tough with the face that I've had, i

744

27:05 ,915 --> 00:27:08,621

Nathan Kress: would be pretty much relegated to the

745

27:09 ,283 --> 00:27:11,808

Nathan Kress: private storming D-Day.

746

27:12 ,396 --> 00:27:15,164

Nathan Kress: Who gets brought down in the first five

747

27:15 ,204 --> 00:27:16,026

Nathan Kress: seconds of the movie.

748

27:16 ,537 --> 00:27:18,442

Nathan Kress: That was kind of where I feel like I've

749

27:18 ,482 --> 00:27:19,445

Nathan Kress: been sort of locked.

750

27:19 ,695 --> 00:27:22,187

Nathan Kress: But I'm hoping that as I've gotten older

751

27:22 ,970 --> 00:27:23,995

Nathan Kress: and I see, it.

752

27:24 ,115 --> 00:27:24,818

Marc Preston: You can start trek.

753

27:24 ,838 --> 00:27:26,558

Marc Preston: you'd be in the red shirt, Was that the one

754

27:26 ,578 --> 00:27:27,421

Marc Preston: that always get killed?

755

27:28 ,075 --> 00:27:29,681

Nathan Kress: Yeah, the really young ensign.

756

27:30 ,215 --> 00:27:32,022

Nathan Kress: Yeah, his first day on the Enterprise.

757

27:32 ,255 --> 00:27:33,541

Nathan Kress: Yeah, that would have been me.

758

27:33 ,655 --> 00:27:37,239

Nathan Kress: So I'm hoping getting into my 30s, that I

759

27:37 ,279 --> 00:27:39,796

Nathan Kress: can broaden out and get into more the

760

27:40 ,077 --> 00:27:44,707

Nathan Kress: action adventure, espionage, intrigue,

761

27:44 ,887 --> 00:27:47,981

Nathan Kress: combat, all that fun stuff would just be

762

27:48 ,202 --> 00:27:49,125

Nathan Kress: really, really cool.

763

27:49 ,835 --> 00:27:50,880

Marc Preston: Yeah, stuff blowing up.

764

27:51 ,578 --> 00:27:53,184

Nathan Kress: And that to me would be, fun.

765

27:53 ,295 --> 00:27:54,981

Marc Preston: I think when you're a kid that stuff sounds

766

27:55 ,041 --> 00:27:56,799

Marc Preston: fantastic, to be honest, something like

767

27:56 ,839 --> 00:27:56,980

Marc Preston: that.

768

27:57 ,475 --> 00:27:58,860

Marc Preston: But that even begs the question to hit

769

27:59 ,141 --> 00:28:01,679

Marc Preston: Rewind, even back when you were filming

770

28:01 ,939 --> 00:28:03,263

Marc Preston: Icarly, the original version.

771

28:04 ,438 --> 00:28:05,287

Marc Preston: What were you into?

772

28:05 ,327 --> 00:28:07,073

Marc Preston: What were you watching, what was inspiring

773

28:07 ,094 --> 00:28:07,155

Marc Preston: you?

774

28:07 ,215 --> 00:28:08,259

Marc Preston: What were you looking at going?

775

28:08 ,359 --> 00:28:09,584

Marc Preston: that's my group.

776

28:09 ,675 --> 00:28:10,921

Marc Preston: That's where I want to see myself.

777

28:11 ,436 --> 00:28:12,840

Marc Preston: What kind of movies and shows.

778

28:14 ,875 --> 00:28:15,939

Nathan Kress: Well, kind of a mix.

779

28:18 ,375 --> 00:28:21,545

Nathan Kress: So I had a very small run of acting from

780

28:21 ,565 --> 00:28:23,300

Nathan Kress: like three to six years old and then lost

781

28:23 ,340 --> 00:28:24,504

Nathan Kress: interest and decided to quit.

782

28:24 ,575 --> 00:28:27,276

Nathan Kress: But when I got back into it at around 11, i

783

28:27 ,517 --> 00:28:29,865

Nathan Kress: homeschooled from sixth to 12th grade.

784

28:30 ,095 --> 00:28:31,220

Nathan Kress: So starting in sixth and all the way

785

28:31 ,260 --> 00:28:32,638

Nathan Kress: through my high school career, when I was

786

28:32 ,738 --> 00:28:35,038

Nathan Kress: on set doing Icarly And when I was

787

28:35 ,078 --> 00:28:36,623

Nathan Kress: homeschooling and when I was actually at

788

28:36 ,684 --> 00:28:39,443

Nathan Kress: home I would try to finish my school by

789

28:39 ,603 --> 00:28:42,883

Nathan Kress: noon so I could take lunch and watch I Love

790

28:42 ,903 --> 00:28:45,040

Nathan Kress: Lucy on Daytime TV.

791

28:46 ,275 --> 00:28:49,139

Nathan Kress: I grew up on that show, i love it, still

792

28:49 ,179 --> 00:28:52,013

Nathan Kress: love it, and I think that was the first

793

28:52 ,034 --> 00:28:54,521

Nathan Kress: show where my love of multi-cam really kind

794

28:54 ,581 --> 00:28:55,744

Nathan Kress: of took off.

795

28:57 ,676 --> 00:29:02,477

Nathan Kress: As I got older it was a lot of like JAG

796

29:03 ,579 --> 00:29:06,285

Nathan Kress: NCIS stuff that I was.

797

29:06 ,385 --> 00:29:09,902

Nathan Kress: Probably I was not the demographic for it,

798

29:09 ,995 --> 00:29:13,183

Nathan Kress: but I just loved crime, procedurals, law

799

29:13 ,203 --> 00:29:13,603

Nathan Kress: and order.

800

29:15 ,675 --> 00:29:18,905

Nathan Kress: But then on the comedy side, how I met your

801

29:18 ,925 --> 00:29:20,975

Nathan Kress: mother, that was one of my favorite shows.

802

29:21 ,055 --> 00:29:23,818

Nathan Kress: That was my go to the gym And while I'm on

803

29:23 ,858 --> 00:29:26,255

Nathan Kress: the elliptical I was plowing through how I

804

29:26 ,275 --> 00:29:26,757

Nathan Kress: met your mother.

805

29:28 ,235 --> 00:29:30,248

Nathan Kress: But then, like all the way on, doctor Who,

806

29:30 ,691 --> 00:29:33,882

Nathan Kress: loved just like quirky sci-fi and the

807

29:33 ,962 --> 00:29:35,246

Nathan Kress: Britishness of it all.

808

29:35 ,656 --> 00:29:36,841

Nathan Kress: I was all over the place.

809

29:37 ,215 --> 00:29:40,396

Nathan Kress: There was no one specific vein, and I think

810

29:41 ,800 --> 00:29:44,256

Nathan Kress: that's why there's really not much that I

811

29:44 ,276 --> 00:29:48,044

Nathan Kress: would say no to as far as like oh, i don't

812

29:48 ,125 --> 00:29:52,720

Nathan Kress: do sci-fi, i don't do action, i don't do

813

29:53 ,181 --> 00:29:57,281

Nathan Kress: really human drama, i don't do whatever.

814

29:58 ,416 --> 00:30:00,322

Nathan Kress: I'm up for it all as long as it's a great

815

30:00 ,422 --> 00:30:04,535

Nathan Kress: story And really just like I just want to

816

30:04 ,575 --> 00:30:08,545

Nathan Kress: be a part of something that's eternal in

817

30:08 ,986 --> 00:30:09,868

Nathan Kress: the entertainment world.

818

30:10 ,055 --> 00:30:11,935

Marc Preston: Again, going back to the inception, leigh

819

30:11 ,955 --> 00:30:12,638

Marc Preston: Mead got going.

820

30:12 ,758 --> 00:30:14,925

Marc Preston: Was this something that was what you wanted

821

30:14 ,945 --> 00:30:15,185

Marc Preston: to do?

822

30:15 ,516 --> 00:30:17,593

Marc Preston: Or did somebody see and say this kid ought

823

30:17 ,613 --> 00:30:20,218

Marc Preston: to, let's get him in for an audition, let's

824

30:20 ,399 --> 00:30:20,579

Marc Preston: see what.

825

30:20 ,619 --> 00:30:20,960

Marc Preston: How did?

826

30:21 ,001 --> 00:30:23,216

Marc Preston: what was the genesis when you kicked off

827

30:23 ,256 --> 00:30:24,561

Marc Preston: your acting career?

828

30:24 ,815 --> 00:30:26,378

Nathan Kress: Yeah, it was basically that When I was

829

30:26 ,439 --> 00:30:28,051

Nathan Kress: three, i had no understanding of what

830

30:28 ,172 --> 00:30:28,495

Nathan Kress: acting was.

831

30:31 ,966 --> 00:30:34,614

Nathan Kress: I just watched Mr Rogers and Barney and

832

30:34 ,634 --> 00:30:37,413

Nathan Kress: Veggie Tales and memorized what I was

833

30:37 ,433 --> 00:30:41,792

Nathan Kress: hearing And I would perform it back for my

834

30:41 ,852 --> 00:30:43,248

Nathan Kress: family on camera with a microphone.

835

30:43 ,918 --> 00:30:46,188

Nathan Kress: And I didn't realize what that was, i just

836

30:46 ,208 --> 00:30:46,695

Nathan Kress: knew I liked it.

837

30:49 ,142 --> 00:30:50,065

Nathan Kress: And my parents.

838

30:50 ,466 --> 00:30:53,294

Nathan Kress: I'm so forever grateful for how they

839

30:53 ,314 --> 00:30:55,568

Nathan Kress: approached this whole thing, because they

840

30:55 ,790 --> 00:30:56,474

Nathan Kress: never, ever forced me.

841

30:57 ,818 --> 00:31:00,666

Nathan Kress: In fact they dragged their heels most of

842

31:00 ,706 --> 00:31:06,812

Nathan Kress: the time because they knew the common

843

31:06 ,852 --> 00:31:07,875

Nathan Kress: trajectory for child actors.

844

31:09 ,785 --> 00:31:11,153

Nathan Kress: They knew that the industry can chew you up

845

31:11 ,173 --> 00:31:13,083

Nathan Kress: and spit you out and that you can have a

846

31:13 ,305 --> 00:31:16,362

Nathan Kress: real mess on your hands if you don't handle

847

31:16 ,382 --> 00:31:18,475

Nathan Kress: it very gingerly and carefully.

848

31:18 ,475 --> 00:31:22,021

Nathan Kress: So they didn't really want me doing it, but

849

31:22 ,061 --> 00:31:23,793

Nathan Kress: I think enough of their friends and people

850

31:23 ,813 --> 00:31:27,188

Nathan Kress: who just saw me doing my thing, just being

851

31:27 ,228 --> 00:31:28,835

Nathan Kress: a giant ham and talking all the time.

852

31:29 ,720 --> 00:31:32,133

Nathan Kress: And my mom swears my first word was

853

31:32 ,153 --> 00:31:32,415

Nathan Kress: construction.

854

31:33 ,141 --> 00:31:34,534

Nathan Kress: At nine months old I don't see how that's

855

31:34 ,554 --> 00:31:36,382

Nathan Kress: true She swears by it.

856

31:38 ,045 --> 00:31:41,582

Nathan Kress: I was just a chatterbox And all of their

857

31:41 ,623 --> 00:31:43,644

Nathan Kress: friends were like you know, you should

858

31:43 ,684 --> 00:31:46,971

Nathan Kress: probably at least give this a try and see

859

31:47 ,011 --> 00:31:47,435

Nathan Kress: if it works out.

860

31:48 ,220 --> 00:31:50,113

Nathan Kress: If he does some stuff as a kid, there's

861

31:50 ,153 --> 00:31:52,835

Nathan Kress: college money, just see.

862

31:53 ,599 --> 00:31:55,470

Nathan Kress: And so they took me to a cattle call and

863

31:55 ,630 --> 00:31:58,840

Nathan Kress: add in the newspaper at a park And a

864

31:58 ,940 --> 00:32:01,611

Nathan Kress: bazillion kids showed up and I sat in an

865

32:01 ,691 --> 00:32:03,906

Nathan Kress: agent's lap and sang him a song And they

866

32:03 ,926 --> 00:32:04,430

Nathan Kress: could just tell.

867

32:04 ,490 --> 00:32:05,015

Nathan Kress: I just had no fear.

868

32:05 ,777 --> 00:32:07,902

Nathan Kress: You know, i was just social and was willing

869

32:07 ,962 --> 00:32:12,046

Nathan Kress: to do whatever And I wasn't going to clam

870

32:12 ,107 --> 00:32:14,524

Nathan Kress: up and be really shy and, you know, just be

871

32:14 ,544 --> 00:32:15,835

Nathan Kress: kind of outward facing at all times.

872

32:16 ,577 --> 00:32:19,548

Nathan Kress: So I got an agent out of that, started

873

32:19 ,728 --> 00:32:21,635

Nathan Kress: auditioning for various stuff.

874

32:22 ,157 --> 00:32:23,518

Nathan Kress: Didn't really do a ton, it's just kind of

875

32:23 ,558 --> 00:32:26,196

Nathan Kress: print work and some voiceover stuff, which

876

32:26 ,236 --> 00:32:28,163

Nathan Kress: was very bizarre to do at four years old.

877

32:28 ,255 --> 00:32:30,996

Nathan Kress: I didn't understand it at all, but it was

878

32:31 ,016 --> 00:32:32,883

Nathan Kress: interesting because I got close on some

879

32:32 ,943 --> 00:32:33,204

Nathan Kress: stuff.

880

32:33 ,335 --> 00:32:36,264

Nathan Kress: I know that it was between me and Johnny

881

32:36 ,304 --> 00:32:37,577

Nathan Kress: Lipnicki for Jerry McGuire.

882

32:38 ,895 --> 00:32:41,224

Nathan Kress: We were like taking turns, you know, in the

883

32:41 ,264 --> 00:32:41,424

Nathan Kress: room.

884

32:41 ,556 --> 00:32:42,621

Nathan Kress: I don't remember any of it.

885

32:42 ,675 --> 00:32:44,442

Nathan Kress: This is just what my parents told me.

886

32:44 ,975 --> 00:32:47,243

Nathan Kress: But it was funny because the reason why I

887

32:47 ,323 --> 00:32:48,842

Nathan Kress: loved it so much was because I didn't

888

32:48 ,963 --> 00:32:50,515

Nathan Kress: understand the audition process.

889

32:50 ,636 --> 00:32:51,949

Nathan Kress: I thought the audition was the job.

890

32:52 ,391 --> 00:32:53,634

Marc Preston: You know in a very real sense.

891

32:53 ,674 --> 00:32:55,279

Marc Preston: You know I coach voiceover and I tell my

892

32:55 ,319 --> 00:32:57,575

Marc Preston: students the audition is the job.

893

32:57 ,830 --> 00:32:59,296

Marc Preston: If you get the job, that's just gravy.

894

32:59 ,470 --> 00:33:00,715

Marc Preston: You know you got to look at the audition as

895

33:00 ,735 --> 00:33:03,958

Marc Preston: the job, so you know that's that for a kid.

896

33:03 ,998 --> 00:33:07,508

Marc Preston: That's not knowing everything probably

897

33:07 ,829 --> 00:33:09,715

Marc Preston: helps you to not be so nervous, you know.

898

33:10 ,016 --> 00:33:10,418

Nathan Kress: Exactly.

899

33:11 ,110 --> 00:33:12,474

Nathan Kress: My parents did a good job of making sure

900

33:12 ,494 --> 00:33:14,138

Nathan Kress: that I didn't know how the sausage got made,

901

33:14 ,759 --> 00:33:16,632

Nathan Kress: because I don't think.

902

33:16 ,732 --> 00:33:18,897

Nathan Kress: And they were right because as soon as the

903

33:18 ,958 --> 00:33:21,612

Nathan Kress: reason why I got out of acting at that age

904

33:21 ,652 --> 00:33:23,658

Nathan Kress: was because I went to a voiceover audition

905

33:23 ,678 --> 00:33:27,991

Nathan Kress: to do ADR for the Dudley Do-Right movie,

906

33:28 ,472 --> 00:33:32,001

Nathan Kress: brendan Fraser, and it was a flashback

907

33:32 ,382 --> 00:33:35,390

Nathan Kress: where it was his younger self talking and

908

33:35 ,470 --> 00:33:38,235

Nathan Kress: he used very intricate words, had a very

909

33:38 ,295 --> 00:33:40,660

Nathan Kress: elaborate vocabulary and spoke very fast

910

33:40 ,740 --> 00:33:42,323

Nathan Kress: and I couldn't do it, i couldn't match it.

911

33:43 ,150 --> 00:33:45,114

Nathan Kress: And so in that audition, for the first time

912

33:45 ,175 --> 00:33:47,760

Nathan Kress: ever, they did live cuts and said these

913

33:47 ,800 --> 00:33:50,130

Nathan Kress: people can go, these people can stay, and

914

33:50 ,190 --> 00:33:50,672

Nathan Kress: it clicked.

915

33:50 ,713 --> 00:33:54,796

Nathan Kress: In that moment I have been rejected and I

916

33:54 ,876 --> 00:33:58,450

Nathan Kress: didn't do as good as other kids did And for

917

33:58 ,491 --> 00:34:00,777

Nathan Kress: that reason I've been sent home and I

918

34:00 ,938 --> 00:34:02,831

Nathan Kress: walked out of the parking lot I remember

919

34:02 ,872 --> 00:34:05,418

Nathan Kress: this part so clearly just saying I'm not

920

34:05 ,558 --> 00:34:08,554

Nathan Kress: having fun anymore, i don't want to do this

921

34:08 ,614 --> 00:34:08,935

Nathan Kress: anymore.

922

34:09 ,370 --> 00:34:11,292

Nathan Kress: And it wasn't just that, i was also just

923

34:11 ,372 --> 00:34:13,378

Nathan Kress: missing out on being a kid and playing

924

34:13 ,418 --> 00:34:15,392

Nathan Kress: T-ball and going to school and hanging out

925

34:15 ,412 --> 00:34:16,014

Nathan Kress: with my brothers.

926

34:16 ,630 --> 00:34:18,138

Nathan Kress: But that was just the icing on the cake.

927

34:18 ,158 --> 00:34:20,048

Nathan Kress: That, finally, was the last straw that sent

928

34:20 ,089 --> 00:34:21,854

Nathan Kress: me over was oh wait a minute.

929

34:22 ,435 --> 00:34:25,772

Nathan Kress: Part of this is rejection, because I don't

930

34:25 ,812 --> 00:34:27,417

Nathan Kress: like that at six years old.

931

34:28 ,630 --> 00:34:31,242

Nathan Kress: So that kind of shattered the illusion for

932

34:31 ,282 --> 00:34:33,130

Nathan Kress: me a little bit, where I finally understood

933

34:33 ,270 --> 00:34:35,658

Nathan Kress: what an audition was, that it was not the

934

34:35 ,698 --> 00:34:36,019

Nathan Kress: job.

935

34:36 ,270 --> 00:34:39,339

Nathan Kress: So that got me out of it and I didn't want

936

34:39 ,359 --> 00:34:42,428

Nathan Kress: to get back in until I was 11 and had

937

34:42 ,489 --> 00:34:44,913

Nathan Kress: auditioned for school plays, had to face

938

34:44 ,973 --> 00:34:50,602

Nathan Kress: that rejection, got roles fair and square,

939

34:51 ,303 --> 00:34:53,813

Nathan Kress: rather than someone just handing it to me

940

34:54 ,616 --> 00:34:56,462

Nathan Kress: and being willing to accept the fact that

941

34:57 ,626 --> 00:34:59,993

Nathan Kress: most of this industry is just being told no

942

35:00 ,214 --> 00:35:01,758

Nathan Kress: over and over and over again and beating

943

35:01 ,778 --> 00:35:04,734

Nathan Kress: your head against that wall and waiting for

944

35:04 ,834 --> 00:35:09,274

Nathan Kress: someone to say yes, which sounds insane,

945

35:09 ,855 --> 00:35:13,022

Nathan Kress: that we do that voluntarily, but you have

946

35:13 ,062 --> 00:35:14,104

Nathan Kress: to because you love it so much.

947

35:14 ,370 --> 00:35:16,356

Marc Preston: But going back to your folks, what kind of

948

35:17 ,218 --> 00:35:17,820

Marc Preston: work did they do?

949

35:18 ,431 --> 00:35:19,314

Marc Preston: What kind of work do they do?

950

35:20 ,090 --> 00:35:22,876

Nathan Kress: So my mom, luckily, was able to stay home

951

35:23 ,057 --> 00:35:25,863

Nathan Kress: with us, but my dad was a police officer.

952

35:26 ,210 --> 00:35:29,298

Nathan Kress: So, yeah, that's probably where a lot of

953

35:29 ,338 --> 00:35:33,148

Nathan Kress: that the sense of duty and service and

954

35:33 ,329 --> 00:35:34,472

Nathan Kress: sacrifice came from.

955

35:34 ,954 --> 00:35:37,403

Nathan Kress: Because he was just, he did a little bit of

956

35:37 ,544 --> 00:35:39,611

Nathan Kress: everything at his department and was a

957

35:39 ,912 --> 00:35:44,143

Nathan Kress: massively commended officer who never got a

958

35:44 ,244 --> 00:35:47,297

Nathan Kress: single civilian complaint in his entire 35

959

35:47 ,357 --> 00:35:47,962

Nathan Kress: year career.

960

35:47 ,982 --> 00:35:50,415

Marc Preston: Wow, 35 years, so you retired from being a

961

35:50 ,456 --> 00:35:50,837

Marc Preston: policeman.

962

35:51 ,431 --> 00:35:52,676

Nathan Kress: Yes, so he retired.

963

35:53 ,791 --> 00:35:55,455

Nathan Kress: He still volunteers because he just can't

964

35:55 ,495 --> 00:35:56,778

Nathan Kress: quit.

965

35:57 ,099 --> 00:35:59,152

Nathan Kress: He loved flying, that was always his

966

35:59 ,172 --> 00:36:01,320

Nathan Kress: favorite assignment, so he works at the

967

36:01 ,420 --> 00:36:01,884

Nathan Kress: heliport.

968

36:02 ,467 --> 00:36:02,789

Nathan Kress: Oh, very cool.

969

36:03 ,051 --> 00:36:06,260

Nathan Kress: So he does air operation stuff and he loves

970

36:06 ,360 --> 00:36:06,420

Nathan Kress: it.

971

36:06 ,910 --> 00:36:09,617

Nathan Kress: He'll probably stop eventually because now

972

36:09 ,637 --> 00:36:11,342

Nathan Kress: he's got grandparent duties and stuff so

973

36:11 ,390 --> 00:36:13,095

Nathan Kress: that's going to be keeping him busier and

974

36:13 ,135 --> 00:36:13,497

Nathan Kress: busier.

975

36:15 ,552 --> 00:36:18,942

Nathan Kress: But yeah, so that was my life, that I grew

976

36:16 Parental Sacrifice for Child's Entertainment Career

36:19 ,042 --> 00:36:21,710

Nathan Kress: up watching that, and I don't know how we

977

36:21 ,730 --> 00:36:23,638

Nathan Kress: would have done it if my mom was working,

978

36:23 ,659 --> 00:36:25,527

Nathan Kress: because I was a full time job for her,

979

36:25 ,708 --> 00:36:28,416

Nathan Kress: driving me from the Boonies of Los Angeles

980

36:28 ,456 --> 00:36:29,640

Nathan Kress: County to Santa Monica every day.

981

36:30 ,851 --> 00:36:33,017

Marc Preston: That's off to them, because it's not easy

982

36:33 ,057 --> 00:36:34,501

Marc Preston: for a parent to navigate that.

983

36:35 ,070 --> 00:36:37,539

Marc Preston: I will say that, having coached young

984

36:37 ,660 --> 00:36:39,607

Marc Preston: children I'm not young young children, but

985

36:39 ,989 --> 00:36:42,217

Marc Preston: some kids who actually were on some Disney

986

36:42 ,237 --> 00:36:42,819

Marc Preston: Channel shows.

987

36:44 ,003 --> 00:36:45,849

Marc Preston: there are some really talented kids and

988

36:45 ,870 --> 00:36:47,353

Marc Preston: some parents that really support them go

989

36:47 ,393 --> 00:36:49,016

Marc Preston: back especially I forgot the name of the

990

36:49 ,037 --> 00:36:51,161

Marc Preston: apartment complex They always go out to LA.

991

36:51 ,181 --> 00:36:51,582

Nathan Kress: The whole woods.

992

36:52 ,430 --> 00:36:53,856

Marc Preston: Yeah, well, it's got a different name now I

993

36:53 ,896 --> 00:36:54,077

Marc Preston: think.

994

36:54 ,591 --> 00:36:55,935

Marc Preston: Yeah, I don't remember what it is now, but

995

36:55 ,955 --> 00:36:58,495

Marc Preston: that's what it was And that sounds like

996

36:58 ,796 --> 00:37:00,443

Marc Preston: really fun for a kid, but still for a

997

37:00 ,503 --> 00:37:02,371

Marc Preston: parent that's a lot of navigation within a

998

37:02 ,451 --> 00:37:04,815

Marc Preston: family, a lot of sacrifice, so that's off

999

37:04 ,835 --> 00:37:05,176

Marc Preston: to them.

Speaker:1000

37:12 ,314 --> 00:37:14,120

Marc Preston: Well, before we wrap up, one of the things

Speaker:1001

37:14 ,140 --> 00:37:15,585

Marc Preston: I like to do is ask my seven questions.

Speaker:1002

37:15 ,645 --> 00:37:17,331

Marc Preston: It's just kind of an additional get to know

Speaker:1003

37:17 ,371 --> 00:37:19,167

Marc Preston: you, just kind of fun.

Speaker:1004

37:19 ,428 --> 00:37:23,013

Marc Preston: You know What is your favorite comfort food,

Speaker:1005

37:23 ,165 --> 00:37:25,192

Marc Preston: that thing that, end of the day, like God,

Speaker:1006

37:25 ,232 --> 00:37:25,914

Marc Preston: just give me some of that.

Speaker:1007

37:25 ,985 --> 00:37:27,569

Marc Preston: I don't care if it's got a lot of bad

Speaker:1008

37:27 ,669 --> 00:37:29,033

Marc Preston: cholesterol or whatever, or it could be

Speaker:1009

37:29 ,073 --> 00:37:30,256

Marc Preston: really healthy, doesn't make a difference

Speaker:1010

37:30 ,585 --> 00:37:32,470

Marc Preston: But that thing that makes you feel good and

Speaker:1011

37:32 ,751 --> 00:37:33,272

Marc Preston: kind of chill.

Speaker:1012

37:34 ,054 --> 00:37:35,987

Nathan Kress: Yeah, i was.

Speaker:1013

37:36 ,007 --> 00:37:38,954

Nathan Kress: My top comfort food is probably barbecue.

Speaker:1014

37:41 ,969 --> 00:37:43,193

Nathan Kress: It's just perfect.

Speaker:1015

37:44 ,145 --> 00:37:46,493

Nathan Kress: It's sweet, it's savory, it's tangy.

Speaker:1016

37:46 ,705 --> 00:37:48,651

Nathan Kress: You got all the different textures, got the

Speaker:1017

37:49 ,233 --> 00:37:49,635

Nathan Kress: smoky.

Speaker:1018

37:49 ,785 --> 00:37:51,050

Nathan Kress: There's so many different ways you can go

Speaker:1019

37:51 ,110 --> 00:37:51,411

Nathan Kress: with it.

Speaker:1020

37:52 ,086 --> 00:37:54,749

Nathan Kress: It's just, i don't know, it's I feel like

Speaker:1021

37:54 ,769 --> 00:37:55,833

Nathan Kress: you're seducing me right now.

Speaker:1022

37:56 ,005 --> 00:37:58,413

Marc Preston: I'm so tangy and smoky.

Speaker:1023

37:59 ,245 --> 00:38:01,205

Nathan Kress: I just had barbecue, last night too, so

Speaker:1024

38:01 ,245 --> 00:38:04,595

Nathan Kress: it's still like lingering in my senses.

Speaker:1025

38:05 ,646 --> 00:38:08,515

Nathan Kress: That and whiskey, not in an excessive way,

Speaker:1026

38:08 ,756 --> 00:38:11,345

Nathan Kress: but that's also the comfort that my wife

Speaker:1027

38:11 ,365 --> 00:38:12,711

Nathan Kress: and I, at the end of the night after a long

Speaker:1028

38:12 ,752 --> 00:38:15,064

Nathan Kress: day of parenting, will sit down to a couple

Speaker:1029

38:15 ,084 --> 00:38:17,656

Nathan Kress: ounces of something brown that burns Brown

Speaker:1030

38:17 ,676 --> 00:38:19,866

Nathan Kress: that burns, that's all right Now

Speaker:1031

38:19 ,886 --> 00:38:20,367

Nathan Kress: barbecue-wise.

Speaker:1032

38:20 ,387 --> 00:38:22,473

Marc Preston: have you ever been to Dallas or Austin to

Speaker:1033

38:22 ,513 --> 00:38:23,135

Marc Preston: have barbecue?

Speaker:1034

38:23 ,725 --> 00:38:28,477

Nathan Kress: We went to actually I, Carly and Victoria,

Speaker:1035

38:28 ,497 --> 00:38:31,825

Nathan Kress: the cast came together for this event that

Speaker:1036

38:31 ,905 --> 00:38:35,526

Nathan Kress: we did for a benefit at St Jude's And while

Speaker:1037

38:35 ,546 --> 00:38:37,491

Nathan Kress: we were there, we did a barbecue fest in

Speaker:1038

38:37 ,612 --> 00:38:43,414

Nathan Kress: Memphis And that was definitely some of the

Speaker:1039

38:43 ,434 --> 00:38:45,398

Nathan Kress: best barbecue I've ever had in my life.

Speaker:1040

38:46 ,185 --> 00:38:49,455

Nathan Kress: They just slapped a pig on a table and

Speaker:1041

38:49 ,676 --> 00:38:51,662

Nathan Kress: pulled out what they claimed to be bacon,

Speaker:1042

38:52 ,204 --> 00:38:54,330

Nathan Kress: which I've never seen, but it was like

Speaker:1043

38:54 ,650 --> 00:38:57,417

Nathan Kress: stringing apart and odd looking.

Speaker:1044

38:57 ,585 --> 00:38:59,610

Nathan Kress: So I don't know what kind of bacon that was,

Speaker:1045

38:59 ,670 --> 00:39:01,073

Nathan Kress: but that was one of the best things.

Speaker:1046

39:02 ,865 --> 00:39:06,026

Nathan Kress: See, now I'm suggesting myself with it That

Speaker:1047

39:06 ,066 --> 00:39:09,024

Nathan Kress: was some of the best stuff I have ever had.

Speaker:1048

39:09 ,125 --> 00:39:11,009

Marc Preston: Well, if you're having an Austin down in

39:28 ,968 --> 00:39:30,112

Announcer: You made the barbecue sound so good.

Speaker:1061

39:30 ,625 --> 00:39:31,910

Marc Preston: You literally changed what I'm doing for

Speaker:1062

39:31 ,970 --> 00:39:32,412

Marc Preston: lunch today.

Speaker:1063

39:33 ,006 --> 00:39:34,311

Nathan Kress: You mailed me a picture.

Speaker:1064

39:34 ,505 --> 00:39:36,232

Nathan Kress: I want to live vicariously through you.

Speaker:1065

39:36 ,725 --> 00:39:38,651

Marc Preston: Now the next question I got for you if

Speaker:1066

39:38 ,671 --> 00:39:39,654

Marc Preston: you're going to sit down and have a cup of

Speaker:1067

39:39 ,694 --> 00:39:41,349

Marc Preston: coffee three people you're just going to

Speaker:1068

39:41 ,389 --> 00:39:43,787

Marc Preston: talk story Living or not?

Speaker:1069

39:43 ,827 --> 00:39:45,671

Marc Preston: who would you like to sit down with and

Speaker:1070

39:45 ,731 --> 00:39:47,675

Marc Preston: have a cup of coffee for an hour or two?

Speaker:1071

39:49 ,105 --> 00:39:51,432

Nathan Kress: Oh man, i love me some historical figures,

Speaker:1072

39:52 ,705 --> 00:39:56,973

Nathan Kress: And especially, i think, american colonial

Speaker:1073

39:57 ,013 --> 00:39:58,696

Nathan Kress: history is one of the ones that I'm most

Speaker:1074

39:58 ,797 --> 00:39:59,478

Nathan Kress: fascinated by.

Speaker:1075

40:00 ,265 --> 00:40:02,048

Nathan Kress: So George Washington would probably be a

Speaker:1076

40:02 ,109 --> 00:40:03,932

Nathan Kress: pretty safe bet.

Speaker:1077

40:07 ,805 --> 00:40:18,915

Nathan Kress: Gosh, i think my mom's side of the family

Speaker:1078

40:18 ,936 --> 00:40:23,029

Nathan Kress: is from Mississippi, so my grandparents

Speaker:1079

40:23 ,290 --> 00:40:23,591

Nathan Kress: lived there.

Speaker:1080

40:23 ,805 --> 00:40:27,568

Nathan Kress: We would go on cop salary You can only fly

Speaker:1081

40:27 ,609 --> 00:40:29,394

Nathan Kress: there with a family of five so many times

Speaker:1082

40:29 ,705 --> 00:40:30,969

Nathan Kress: But we went as often as we could.

Speaker:1083

40:32 ,686 --> 00:40:35,757

Nathan Kress: I really wish, especially now, that I had

Speaker:1084

40:35 ,777 --> 00:40:37,804

Nathan Kress: had a little bit more time to talk with my

Speaker:1085

40:38 ,125 --> 00:40:41,172

Nathan Kress: granddaddy, because he passed away when I

Speaker:1086

40:41 ,232 --> 00:40:43,738

Nathan Kress: was granted in my early 20s.

Speaker:1087

40:43 ,865 --> 00:40:46,235

Nathan Kress: So I did get some experiences with him, but

Speaker:1088

40:46 ,416 --> 00:40:48,505

Nathan Kress: I would love to have just sat with him to

Speaker:1089

40:48 ,665 --> 00:40:50,611

Nathan Kress: the extent that I sat with my grandpa that

Speaker:1090

40:50 ,651 --> 00:40:53,589

Nathan Kress: lives here in California And he just passed

Speaker:1091

40:53 ,629 --> 00:40:54,833

Nathan Kress: away last year.

Speaker:1092

40:56 ,447 --> 00:40:58,411

Nathan Kress: But I felt good about some of the time that

Speaker:1093

40:58 ,431 --> 00:40:59,654

Nathan Kress: I was able to get with him, especially

Speaker:1094

40:59 ,694 --> 00:41:00,596

Nathan Kress: toward the end.

Speaker:1095

41:00 ,616 --> 00:41:01,518

Marc Preston: There's never enough time.

Speaker:1096

41:02 ,447 --> 00:41:04,565

Marc Preston: That's one of those things that There are

Speaker:1097

41:04 ,646 --> 00:41:06,751

Marc Preston: moments and no joke that I occasionally

Speaker:1098

41:06 ,771 --> 00:41:08,255

Marc Preston: have a life experience, something with a

Speaker:1099

41:08 ,295 --> 00:41:08,455

Marc Preston: kid.

Speaker:1100

41:09 ,285 --> 00:41:11,571

Marc Preston: For a fraction of a second, I'm thinking I

Speaker:1101

41:11 ,591 --> 00:41:12,774

Marc Preston: talked to my grandfather about that.

Speaker:1102

41:13 ,745 --> 00:41:15,771

Marc Preston: It's obviously been oh, he's passed away

Speaker:1103

41:15 ,811 --> 00:41:18,889

Marc Preston: almost 19 years ago, But I was very close

Speaker:1104

41:18 ,929 --> 00:41:20,809

Marc Preston: with him as well, So I bet there's never

Speaker:1105

41:20 ,849 --> 00:41:21,331

Marc Preston: enough time.

Speaker:1106

41:21 ,551 --> 00:41:23,088

Marc Preston: That's the rough thing When you get a

Speaker:1107

41:23 ,108 --> 00:41:24,116

Marc Preston: little bit older, you kind of want to go to

Speaker:1108

41:24 ,216 --> 00:41:25,987

Marc Preston: the folks with more gray hair and say what

Speaker:1109

41:26 ,027 --> 00:41:26,849

Marc Preston: do you think about this?

Speaker:1110

41:29 ,105 --> 00:41:30,368

Marc Preston: But we're in Mississippi, by the way, Are

Speaker:1111

41:30 ,388 --> 00:41:30,729

Marc Preston: they from?

Speaker:1112

41:31 ,852 --> 00:41:33,315

Nathan Kress: Jackson area Okay.

Speaker:1113

41:33 ,576 --> 00:41:34,037

Marc Preston: I'm just right.

Speaker:1114

41:34 ,325 --> 00:41:36,631

Marc Preston: I'm from New Orleans right over, close to,

Speaker:1115

41:37 ,092 --> 00:41:38,255

Marc Preston: not too far from Mississippi.

Speaker:1116

41:39 ,045 --> 00:41:40,691

Nathan Kress: My father-in-law's side of the family is

Speaker:1117

41:40 ,731 --> 00:41:42,408

Nathan Kress: from the Baton Rouge area, so we go to

Speaker:1118

41:42 ,428 --> 00:41:45,219

Nathan Kress: Louisiana a decent bit And I miss it

Speaker:1119

41:45 ,279 --> 00:41:45,581

Nathan Kress: already.

Speaker:1120

41:45 ,842 --> 00:41:46,625

Marc Preston: You haven't had a lot of credit for it.

Speaker:1121

41:46 ,625 --> 00:41:47,631

Marc Preston: Well, there's a lot of filming down here,

Speaker:1122

41:47 ,845 --> 00:41:50,531

Marc Preston: so if I find a reason to come down, you can

Speaker:1123

41:50 ,571 --> 00:41:52,154

Marc Preston: put on some pounds of some pretty good food,

Speaker:1124

41:52 ,174 --> 00:41:52,415

Marc Preston: oh yeah.

Speaker:1125

41:52 ,475 --> 00:41:53,016

Nathan Kress: No, i did.

Speaker:1126

41:54 ,025 --> 00:41:57,214

Nathan Kress: I've had enough budan and cracklins to last

Speaker:1127

41:57 ,254 --> 00:41:57,815

Nathan Kress: a lifetime.

Speaker:1128

41:58 ,385 --> 00:41:59,752

Nathan Kress: It's probably for the best that I don't go

Speaker:1129

41:59 ,813 --> 00:42:02,085

Nathan Kress: down there because I gain absurd amounts of

Speaker:1130

42:02 ,185 --> 00:42:04,947

Nathan Kress: weight circling back around My third person

Speaker:1131

42:05 ,068 --> 00:42:06,713

Nathan Kress: I got to go with the, i'd say Denis

Speaker:1132

42:06 ,733 --> 00:42:07,114

Nathan Kress: Villeneuve.

Speaker:1133

42:08 ,388 --> 00:42:09,050

Nathan Kress: Oh very good.

Speaker:1134

42:09 ,765 --> 00:42:11,730

Nathan Kress: I have a massive director crush on that man,

Speaker:1135

42:13 ,114 --> 00:42:14,667

Nathan Kress: his style We just.

Speaker:1136

42:14 ,748 --> 00:42:15,854

Marc Preston: I just saw a movie.

Speaker:1137

42:15 ,874 --> 00:42:18,407

Marc Preston: He directed God.

Speaker:1138

42:18 ,447 --> 00:42:19,450

Marc Preston: What did he direct?

Speaker:1139

42:21 ,085 --> 00:42:22,248

Marc Preston: I want to say, did he direct?

Speaker:1140

42:23 ,171 --> 00:42:24,294

Marc Preston: I watched it with my son the other day.

Speaker:1141

42:25 ,773 --> 00:42:26,705

Marc Preston: I said his name popped up.

Speaker:1142

42:26 ,725 --> 00:42:27,388

Marc Preston: I was like wait a minute.

Speaker:1143

42:27 ,845 --> 00:42:29,791

Marc Preston: He directed Dune.

Speaker:1144

42:30 ,694 --> 00:42:32,789

Marc Preston: Yes, but it may have been I don't know if

Speaker:1145

42:32 ,829 --> 00:42:34,894

Marc Preston: it was, was it shit?

Speaker:1146

42:35 ,295 --> 00:42:36,426

Marc Preston: I'll remember in a moment but it was

Speaker:1147

42:36 ,446 --> 00:42:40,225

Marc Preston: something from the early 2000s, late 1990s.

Speaker:1148

42:40 ,265 --> 00:42:41,811

Marc Preston: It was something I was kind of surprised

Speaker:1149

42:41 ,851 --> 00:42:42,333

Marc Preston: that he did.

Speaker:1150

42:42 ,485 --> 00:42:43,789

Marc Preston: I was like, wait a minute, that's seeing

Speaker:1151

42:43 ,829 --> 00:42:45,473

Marc Preston: his name pop up, but it'll come to me in a

Speaker:1152

42:45 ,493 --> 00:42:45,734

Marc Preston: moment.

Speaker:1153

42:46 ,945 --> 00:42:48,449

Marc Preston: But now, next question, real quick, is if

Speaker:1154

42:49 ,232 --> 00:42:50,455

Marc Preston: you're going to be living on an island

Speaker:1155

42:50 ,495 --> 00:42:52,351

Marc Preston: actually an island you really like you want

Speaker:1156

42:52 ,371 --> 00:42:52,732

Marc Preston: to be there.

Speaker:1157

42:52 ,825 --> 00:42:54,370

Marc Preston: You're not stranded or anything, but there

Speaker:1158

42:54 ,430 --> 00:42:55,053

Marc Preston: is no internet.

Speaker:1159

42:55 ,725 --> 00:42:57,576

Marc Preston: So you know, if you want to listen to music

Speaker:1160

42:58 ,239 --> 00:42:59,084

Marc Preston: or if you want to watch a movie, you're

Speaker:1161

42:59 ,104 --> 00:43:00,971

Marc Preston: going to have to bring a CD or bring a DVD

Speaker:1162

43:01 ,031 --> 00:43:01,312

Marc Preston: with you.

Speaker:1163

43:02 ,025 --> 00:43:04,357

Marc Preston: What would that DVD or CD be for that one

Speaker:1164

43:04 ,397 --> 00:43:05,905

Marc Preston: year you're going to be on this island with

Speaker:1165

43:05 ,965 --> 00:43:06,386

Marc Preston: your family.

Speaker:1166

43:09 ,105 --> 00:43:10,167

Nathan Kress: For a movie for sure.

Speaker:1167

43:10 ,307 --> 00:43:14,054

Nathan Kress: Lord of the Rings, the extended editions.

Speaker:1168

43:14 ,295 --> 00:43:18,069

Nathan Kress: I'll give myself that for one, just because

Speaker:1169

43:18 ,871 --> 00:43:20,696

Nathan Kress: you know that's a lot of hours of content

Speaker:1170

43:21 ,045 --> 00:43:23,050

Nathan Kress: So you can cycle through that and you

Speaker:1171

43:23 ,070 --> 00:43:24,695

Nathan Kress: wouldn't get as tired of it as you would

Speaker:1172

43:24 ,755 --> 00:43:27,711

Nathan Kress: from maybe an hour and a half animated

Speaker:1173

43:27 ,791 --> 00:43:28,152

Nathan Kress: feature.

Speaker:1174

43:29 ,365 --> 00:43:31,172

Nathan Kress: But those are hands down my favorite movies.

Speaker:1175

43:31 ,325 --> 00:43:34,071

Nathan Kress: My wife and I bonded massively over the

Speaker:1176

43:34 ,112 --> 00:43:35,395

Nathan Kress: Lord of the Rings when we were just

Speaker:1177

43:35 ,435 --> 00:43:36,517

Nathan Kress: starting out in our relationship.

Speaker:1178

43:36 ,785 --> 00:43:37,869

Nathan Kress: Our whole wedding was Lord of the Rings

Speaker:1179

43:37 ,889 --> 00:43:38,612

Nathan Kress: themed, really.

Speaker:1180

43:39 ,386 --> 00:43:40,390

Marc Preston: I got a sign right there.

Speaker:1181

43:41 ,145 --> 00:43:43,107

Nathan Kress: People had to walk into the wedding It's no

Speaker:1182

43:43 ,147 --> 00:43:45,846

Nathan Kress: admittance except on party business And it

Speaker:1183

43:45 ,886 --> 00:43:48,891

Nathan Kress: was like probably a borderline amount of

Speaker:1184

43:48 ,931 --> 00:43:49,492

Nathan Kress: cringe.

Speaker:1185

43:49 ,553 --> 00:43:54,612

Nathan Kress: Lord of the Rings for a wedding, but hands

Speaker:1186

43:54 ,712 --> 00:43:56,540

Nathan Kress: down, i will go to my grave saying those

Speaker:1187

43:56 ,560 --> 00:43:57,986

Nathan Kress: are the best movies of all time and I will

Speaker:1188

43:58 ,066 --> 00:43:59,612

Nathan Kress: fight anybody who disagrees with me.

Speaker:1189

44:00 ,286 --> 00:44:02,232

Marc Preston: Yeah, you and Stephen Colbert have a thing

Speaker:1190

44:02 ,333 --> 00:44:02,694

Marc Preston: for that.

Speaker:1191

44:03 ,727 --> 00:44:05,652

Marc Preston: Honestly, I think I've seen just one of the

Speaker:1192

44:05 ,692 --> 00:44:08,648

Marc Preston: movies and I know shame on me And I was

Speaker:1193

44:08 ,668 --> 00:44:09,926

Marc Preston: talking to Matt Walsh, the other day I said

Speaker:1194

44:09 ,986 --> 00:44:10,810

Marc Preston: I haven't seen VP.

Speaker:1195

44:11 ,385 --> 00:44:12,609

Marc Preston: So many great things I haven't seen yet

Speaker:1196

44:12 ,629 --> 00:44:13,953

Marc Preston: because there's so much out there, There's

Speaker:1197

44:13 ,973 --> 00:44:14,434

Marc Preston: a bazillion.

Speaker:1198

44:14 ,905 --> 00:44:15,890

Nathan Kress: Yeah, i don't blame you on that part.

Speaker:1199

44:16 ,065 --> 00:44:18,829

Nathan Kress: There is a dearth or just like massive,

Speaker:1200

44:19 ,109 --> 00:44:23,256

Nathan Kress: massive crush of content that you can drown

Speaker:1201

44:23 ,336 --> 00:44:24,097

Nathan Kress: under now.

Speaker:1202

44:24 ,197 --> 00:44:24,658

Nathan Kress: So it is.

Speaker:1203

44:24 ,878 --> 00:44:26,260

Nathan Kress: It is hard, but I definitely recommend that

Speaker:1204

44:26 ,340 --> 00:44:26,400

Nathan Kress: one.

Speaker:1205

44:26 ,665 --> 00:44:28,771

Nathan Kress: That is just an absolute classic that will

Speaker:1206

44:28 ,791 --> 00:44:29,693

Nathan Kress: stand the test of time.

Speaker:1207

44:29 ,773 --> 00:44:32,308

Nathan Kress: That, visually, even that was from the 90s

Speaker:1208

44:32 ,328 --> 00:44:33,231

Nathan Kress: and early 2000s.

Speaker:1209

44:33 ,331 --> 00:44:35,236

Nathan Kress: Those visuals still hold up today.

Speaker:1210

44:35 ,425 --> 00:44:37,951

Nathan Kress: It was just incredible what they did, even

Speaker:1211

44:37 ,971 --> 00:44:40,485

Nathan Kress: just with the technology back then, and

Speaker:1212

44:40 ,505 --> 00:44:42,813

Nathan Kress: just one of the best stories truly of all

Speaker:1213

44:42 ,853 --> 00:44:44,388

Nathan Kress: time As far as I'm concerned.

Speaker:1214

44:44 ,468 --> 00:44:46,193

Nathan Kress: Just like the depiction of the Battle of

Speaker:1215

44:46 ,233 --> 00:44:47,786

Nathan Kress: Good and Evil is so quintessential in that

Speaker:1216

44:47 ,806 --> 00:44:49,252

Nathan Kress: movie or set of movies.

Speaker:1217

44:50 ,868 --> 00:44:52,873

Marc Preston: But as far as music, the music side of

Speaker:1218

44:52 ,913 --> 00:44:53,635

Marc Preston: things, where would you?

Speaker:1219

44:53 ,655 --> 00:44:53,735

Nathan Kress: be.

Speaker:1220

44:54 ,825 --> 00:44:55,247

Nathan Kress: That's tough.

Speaker:1221

44:56 ,885 --> 00:45:01,392

Nathan Kress: I've really gotten into just non, non

Speaker:1222

45:01 ,552 --> 00:45:04,877

Nathan Kress: lyrical, almost atmospheric and

Speaker:1223

45:04 ,937 --> 00:45:08,669

Nathan Kress: environmental type, just like background

Speaker:1224

45:08 ,850 --> 00:45:09,271

Nathan Kress: music.

Speaker:1225

45:10 ,845 --> 00:45:13,654

Nathan Kress: I know that one that, especially just when

Speaker:1226

45:13 ,714 --> 00:45:16,723

Nathan Kress: I'm stressed or if we're having a weird

Speaker:1227

45:16 ,884 --> 00:45:19,972

Nathan Kress: family dinner, i'll just say like let's put

Speaker:1228

45:20 ,052 --> 00:45:20,653

Nathan Kress: on a lo-fi.

Speaker:1229

45:22 ,625 --> 00:45:25,172

Nathan Kress: And we put on a lo-fi and everyone pretty

Speaker:1230

45:25 ,192 --> 00:45:26,236

Nathan Kress: much just calms down.

Speaker:1231

45:26 ,425 --> 00:45:28,393

Nathan Kress: It's kind of lo-fi like low fidelity.

Speaker:1232

45:28 ,545 --> 00:45:33,356

Nathan Kress: It's basically like a combination of jazz,

Speaker:1233

45:34 ,097 --> 00:45:37,445

Nathan Kress: hip hop with this like desyncopated rhythm,

Speaker:1234

45:37 ,605 --> 00:45:40,814

Nathan Kress: with like record crackle overlaid on top of

Speaker:1235

45:40 ,914 --> 00:45:44,652

Nathan Kress: it, and it's just so relaxing and it's a

Speaker:1236

45:44 ,732 --> 00:45:47,485

Nathan Kress: little bit kind of off beat sometimes And

Speaker:1237

45:47 ,505 --> 00:45:50,293

Nathan Kress: it just it just clicks in your brain very

Speaker:1238

45:50 ,454 --> 00:45:52,369

Nathan Kress: differently And I feel like if we were

Speaker:1239

45:52 ,409 --> 00:45:54,802

Nathan Kress: stuck on an island I might need to unwind

Speaker:1240

45:54 ,842 --> 00:45:56,770

Nathan Kress: and relax a little bit and lo-fi does it

Speaker:1241

45:56 ,951 --> 00:45:57,352

Nathan Kress: the best.

Speaker:1242

45:57 ,725 --> 00:45:59,010

Marc Preston: Now over to the next question here

Speaker:1243

46:00 ,285 --> 00:46:02,353

Marc Preston: Definition of a perfect day for you.

Speaker:1244

46:02 ,585 --> 00:46:03,889

Marc Preston: You're going to get up in the morning all

Speaker:1245

46:03 ,909 --> 00:46:05,654

Marc Preston: the way till you go to fall asleep.

Speaker:1246

46:06 ,385 --> 00:46:08,049

Marc Preston: What are the component parts of a perfect

Speaker:1247

46:08 ,149 --> 00:46:09,553

Marc Preston: day that's on point for you?

Speaker:1248

46:11 ,305 --> 00:46:15,549

Nathan Kress: I slept in, for sure, and somehow my

Speaker:1249

46:15 ,589 --> 00:46:18,515

Nathan Kress: children slept in so that I woke up like an

Speaker:1250

46:18 ,696 --> 00:46:21,130

Nathan Kress: hour before they did, but also so did my

Speaker:1251

46:21 ,190 --> 00:46:24,193

Nathan Kress: wife, and so we could just like lay there

Speaker:1252

46:24 ,273 --> 00:46:27,524

Nathan Kress: and talk for a good half hour and just hang

Speaker:1253

46:27 ,604 --> 00:46:30,270

Nathan Kress: out and have some completely quiet alone

Speaker:1254

46:30 ,310 --> 00:46:31,894

Nathan Kress: time together, which just sounds like

Speaker:1255

46:32 ,054 --> 00:46:34,406

Nathan Kress: magical and unobtainable now.

Speaker:1256

46:36 ,605 --> 00:46:40,373

Nathan Kress: And then a quality French press coffee in

Speaker:1257

46:40 ,393 --> 00:46:45,429

Nathan Kress: the morning, some time to just like go off

Speaker:1258

46:45 ,529 --> 00:46:49,537

Nathan Kress: and be quiet, be by myself, do some, do

Speaker:1259

46:49 ,577 --> 00:46:52,429

Nathan Kress: some devotions, have some quiet time.

Speaker:1260

46:52 ,449 --> 00:46:57,031

Nathan Kress: Because I'm it's weird, i adore my wife and

Speaker:1261

46:57 ,071 --> 00:46:59,857

Nathan Kress: my children, but I'm pretty introverted.

Speaker:1262

47:00 ,165 --> 00:47:01,910

Nathan Kress: I'm a very introverted extrovert,

Speaker:1263

47:02 ,071 --> 00:47:03,114

Nathan Kress: extroverted introvert.

Speaker:1264

47:03 ,745 --> 00:47:05,810

Nathan Kress: And I've learned about myself that I

Speaker:1265

47:05 ,870 --> 00:47:07,634

Nathan Kress: actually need a little bit more alone time

Speaker:1266

47:07 ,654 --> 00:47:08,576

Nathan Kress: to recharge time.

Speaker:1267

47:09 ,185 --> 00:47:12,692

Nathan Kress: Yeah, i, i just run out of juice, you know,

Speaker:1268

47:12 ,872 --> 00:47:16,659

Nathan Kress: even even in a close knit family setting,

Speaker:1269

47:17 ,086 --> 00:47:19,592

Nathan Kress: i've just found like I recharge so much

Speaker:1270

47:19 ,633 --> 00:47:20,916

Nathan Kress: when I just get that little bit of alone

Speaker:1271

47:20 ,956 --> 00:47:21,137

Nathan Kress: time.

Speaker:1272

47:21 ,265 --> 00:47:25,706

Nathan Kress: So probably a little bit of that And

Speaker:1273

47:25 ,726 --> 00:47:29,413

Nathan Kress: honestly, like it's as hard as it is and

Speaker:1274

47:29 ,474 --> 00:47:32,626

Nathan Kress: how crazy and chaotic it can be, the rest

Speaker:1275

47:32 ,666 --> 00:47:35,527

Nathan Kress: of that day is just family time, like I'm

Speaker:1276

47:35 ,567 --> 00:47:38,305

Nathan Kress: just I'm so addicted to it right now And I

Speaker:1277

47:38 ,345 --> 00:47:43,238

Nathan Kress: just I see how it's paying off with our

Speaker:1278

47:43 ,399 --> 00:47:45,123

Nathan Kress: bond and relationship.

Speaker:1279

47:45 ,163 --> 00:47:47,128

Nathan Kress: The way that these kids are growing up and

Speaker:1280

47:47 ,168 --> 00:47:51,196

Nathan Kress: just getting to imprint the smiles that are

Speaker:1281

47:51 ,236 --> 00:47:53,589

Nathan Kress: on their faces and just try to lock that

Speaker:1282

47:53 ,629 --> 00:47:55,770

Nathan Kress: into my brain, i'm just like soaking it up

Speaker:1283

47:55 ,811 --> 00:47:56,373

Nathan Kress: like a sponge.

Speaker:1284

47:56 ,393 --> 00:47:59,350

Nathan Kress: Right now It's hard to really imagine doing

Speaker:1285

47:59 ,871 --> 00:48:00,773

Nathan Kress: doing something else.

Speaker:1286

48:03 ,305 --> 00:48:04,869

Nathan Kress: But, but shortly, part of that family time

Speaker:1287

48:05 ,751 --> 00:48:07,636

Nathan Kress: is taking the girls for a Mustang ride.

Speaker:1288

48:08 ,505 --> 00:48:11,653

Nathan Kress: We have a 1965 Mustang convertible that

Speaker:1289

48:11 ,693 --> 00:48:13,617

Nathan Kress: really both of my girls.

Speaker:1290

48:13 ,906 --> 00:48:16,013

Nathan Kress: So it was my wife's grandfather's car.

Speaker:1291

48:16 ,585 --> 00:48:18,866

Nathan Kress: It was her dream car as a kid And to

Speaker:1292

48:18 ,906 --> 00:48:21,234

Nathan Kress: surprise her, when I was going to propose,

Speaker:1293

48:21 ,435 --> 00:48:24,465

Nathan Kress: my dad and I drove out to Colorado to pick

Speaker:1294

48:24 ,565 --> 00:48:25,669

Nathan Kress: it up and drive it back.

Speaker:1295

48:25 ,749 --> 00:48:27,936

Nathan Kress: So I bought it from him.

Speaker:1296

48:28 ,727 --> 00:48:30,592

Nathan Kress: It was like half bought it, half wedding

Speaker:1297

48:30 ,632 --> 00:48:33,460

Nathan Kress: present, and then worked on fixing it up

Speaker:1298

48:33 ,902 --> 00:48:36,710

Nathan Kress: and then kind of gave it to her as a as an

Speaker:1299

48:36 ,871 --> 00:48:37,954

Nathan Kress: engagement gift.

Speaker:1300

48:39 ,287 --> 00:48:41,412

Marc Preston: So I didn't realize you could make an old

Speaker:1301

48:41 ,492 --> 00:48:43,857

Marc Preston: car seems so incredibly romantic as you

Speaker:1302

48:43 ,877 --> 00:48:44,613

Marc Preston: just did.

Speaker:1303

48:45 Bonding Through Car Rides With Daughters

48:45 ,302 --> 00:48:47,280

Nathan Kress: I bonded with my girls over it.

Speaker:1304

48:47 ,420 --> 00:48:50,368

Nathan Kress: They just love going for rides, having that

Speaker:1305

48:50 ,448 --> 00:48:53,030

Nathan Kress: alone date time, you know, just taking them

Speaker:1306

48:53 ,090 --> 00:48:54,661

Nathan Kress: out for breakfast or something, or even

Speaker:1307

48:54 ,681 --> 00:48:56,789

Nathan Kress: just picking my oldest one up from school.

Speaker:1308

48:57 ,301 --> 00:48:59,386

Nathan Kress: There's just something about it that just

Speaker:1309

48:59 ,807 --> 00:49:03,371

Nathan Kress: changes the monotony of the day.

Speaker:1310

49:03 ,702 --> 00:49:04,447

Nathan Kress: And I don't know.

Speaker:1311

49:04 ,487 --> 00:49:06,862

Nathan Kress: we just go, we just drive around and listen

Speaker:1312

49:06 ,882 --> 00:49:07,385

Nathan Kress: to Beach Boys.

Speaker:1313

49:07 ,702 --> 00:49:09,200

Nathan Kress: That's like their number one thing.

Speaker:1314

49:09 ,341 --> 00:49:10,104

Nathan Kress: I don't have to say it.

Speaker:1315

49:10 ,423 --> 00:49:11,338

Nathan Kress: We pull out of the driveway and they're

Speaker:1316

49:11 ,379 --> 00:49:12,384

Nathan Kress: like where's the Beach Boys?

Speaker:1317

49:13 ,080 --> 00:49:17,109

Nathan Kress: So I put together a playlist of Timeline

Speaker:1318

49:17 ,190 --> 00:49:20,744

Nathan Kress: Correct music for that car And we just

Speaker:1319

49:20 ,925 --> 00:49:24,282

Nathan Kress: shuffle through it and just pretend like we

Speaker:1320

49:24 ,322 --> 00:49:27,036

Nathan Kress: live in a different era for a little while.

Speaker:1321

49:27 ,216 --> 00:49:27,940

Marc Preston: Yeah, it's kind of funny.

Speaker:1322

49:28 ,343 --> 00:49:30,078

Marc Preston: My 17-year-old daughter is like getting the

Speaker:1323

49:30 ,098 --> 00:49:32,228

Marc Preston: truck and listen to country music And I

Speaker:1324

49:32 ,248 --> 00:49:32,999

Marc Preston: mean that's her thing.

Speaker:1325

49:33 ,263 --> 00:49:34,457

Marc Preston: She does it like do we have to go home

Speaker:1326

49:34 ,478 --> 00:49:34,660

Marc Preston: right now?

Speaker:1327

49:34 ,841 --> 00:49:36,025

Marc Preston: She just wants to drive around.

Speaker:1328

49:37 ,841 --> 00:49:38,623

Marc Preston: But we'll tell you what.

Speaker:1329

49:38 ,663 --> 00:49:41,061

Marc Preston: the last couple of questions Now.

Speaker:1330

49:41 ,081 --> 00:49:42,920

Marc Preston: if you weren't doing this right now and

Speaker:1331

49:42 ,940 --> 00:49:45,622

Marc Preston: this was not your vocation, what would be

Speaker:1332

49:45 ,703 --> 00:49:47,469

Marc Preston: the thing that you did for a living that

Speaker:1333

49:47 ,540 --> 00:49:49,287

Marc Preston: would bring you satisfaction?

Speaker:1334

49:49 ,940 --> 00:49:52,860

Nathan Kress: For a while I thought that it was going to

Speaker:1335

49:52 ,900 --> 00:49:56,668

Nathan Kress: be some kind of police, military, public

Speaker:1336

49:56 ,748 --> 00:49:58,411

Nathan Kress: service thing.

Speaker:1337

49:59 ,680 --> 00:50:01,908

Nathan Kress: I got kind of sidelined from that.

Speaker:1338

50:02 ,560 --> 00:50:05,428

Nathan Kress: I had a lot of back pain in my late teens,

Speaker:1339

50:05 ,528 --> 00:50:08,084

Nathan Kress: early 20s, Found out that I had a birth

Speaker:1340

50:08 ,145 --> 00:50:09,810

Nathan Kress: defect in my spinal cord.

Speaker:1341

50:09 ,960 --> 00:50:12,865

Nathan Kress: That I corrected, But then the surgery from

Speaker:1342

50:12 ,905 --> 00:50:16,307

Nathan Kress: it kind of messed me up more than the pain

Speaker:1343

50:16 ,327 --> 00:50:17,209

Nathan Kress: that I was in before.

Speaker:1344

50:18 ,420 --> 00:50:21,308

Nathan Kress: So I knew that I'd pretty much wash out of

Speaker:1345

50:21 ,789 --> 00:50:24,404

Nathan Kress: anything that was in that vein because I

Speaker:1346

50:24 ,424 --> 00:50:25,969

Nathan Kress: just wouldn't be able to physically hack it.

Speaker:1347

50:26 ,520 --> 00:50:31,091

Nathan Kress: But over time I think what I've found is in

Speaker:1348

50:31 ,111 --> 00:50:33,744

Nathan Kress: life and in my experiences.

Speaker:1349

50:35 ,107 --> 00:50:39,848

Nathan Kress: I'm a salesman, I think in some quadrant of

Speaker:1350

50:39 ,908 --> 00:50:43,889

Nathan Kress: my mind, So doing something in real estate

Speaker:1351

50:44 ,130 --> 00:50:47,006

Nathan Kress: or sales where it's forward, facing and

Speaker:1352

50:47 ,427 --> 00:50:49,702

Nathan Kress: interfacing with small groups of people and

Speaker:1353

50:49 ,742 --> 00:50:51,760

Nathan Kress: establishing rapport and relationship and

Speaker:1354

50:52 ,181 --> 00:50:54,447

Nathan Kress: just being human with them, but also

Speaker:1355

50:54 ,547 --> 00:50:58,705

Nathan Kress: providing a service and encouraging them by

Speaker:1356

50:58 ,866 --> 00:51:01,632

Nathan Kress: being excited about whatever it is that I'm

Speaker:1357

51:01 ,692 --> 00:51:02,253

Nathan Kress: excited about.

Speaker:1358

51:02 ,300 --> 00:51:05,329

Nathan Kress: Because once I go all in on something I'm

Speaker:1359

51:05 ,509 --> 00:51:10,191

Nathan Kress: so in And I'm so excited about it that when

Speaker:1360

51:10 ,280 --> 00:51:13,249

Nathan Kress: I go to a car dealership and I'm talking

Speaker:1361

51:13 ,269 --> 00:51:15,925

Nathan Kress: about a car to my wife and talking about

Nathan Kress: me know.

Speaker:1366

51:24 ,701 --> 00:51:26,341

Nathan Kress: Or when we were looking for a house, or I

Speaker:1367

51:26 ,361 --> 00:51:29,283

Nathan Kress: would show a friend around a house, the

Speaker:1368

51:29 ,463 --> 00:51:30,768

Nathan Kress: agent representing the house would be like

Marc Preston: The last question if you had a DeLorean you

Speaker:1378

51:50 ,451 --> 00:51:51,072

Marc Preston: could pop back.

Speaker:1379

51:51 ,641 --> 00:51:53,247

Marc Preston: Let's rewind back to when you were 16.

Speaker:1380

51:54 ,281 --> 00:51:56,422

Marc Preston: And you've got a couple of minutes to

Speaker:1381

51:56 ,482 --> 00:51:58,348

Marc Preston: convey a piece of advice, either in the

Speaker:1382

51:58 ,429 --> 00:52:01,468

Marc Preston: moment, to make that time in your life

Speaker:1383

52:01 ,609 --> 00:52:04,849

Marc Preston: better or put you on a track to better

Speaker:1384

52:04 ,889 --> 00:52:05,130

Marc Preston: track.

Speaker:1385

52:05 ,220 --> 00:52:06,584

Marc Preston: Whatever, what would that piece of advice

Speaker:1386

52:06 ,644 --> 00:52:07,708

Marc Preston: be to 16-year-old you?

Speaker:1387

52:08 ,640 --> 00:52:13,021

Nathan Kress: This sounds awful, but I don't know if I

Speaker:1388

52:13 ,061 --> 00:52:14,365

Nathan Kress: would tell myself anything.

Speaker:1389

52:16 ,300 --> 00:52:21,570

Nathan Kress: I'm really genuinely happy with how my life

Speaker:1390

52:21 ,630 --> 00:52:26,867

Nathan Kress: turned out And I think that's not to say we

Speaker:1391

52:26 ,947 --> 00:52:29,453

Nathan Kress: haven't faced a lot of adversity,

Speaker:1392

52:29 ,500 --> 00:52:31,481

Nathan Kress: especially since becoming married, and a

Speaker:1393

52:31 ,521 --> 00:52:34,108

Nathan Kress: lot of just physical challenges and just

Speaker:1394

52:34 ,249 --> 00:52:34,530

Nathan Kress: stuff.

Speaker:1395

52:35 ,160 --> 00:52:38,170

Nathan Kress: We're just incredibly unlucky people to the

Speaker:1396

52:38 ,210 --> 00:52:40,265

Nathan Kress: point that now we are able to laugh about

Speaker:1397

52:40 ,306 --> 00:52:41,248

Nathan Kress: it because it's not like.

Speaker:1398

52:42 ,160 --> 00:52:43,545

Nathan Kress: It's not like, oh, i wonder if something

Speaker:1399

52:43 ,626 --> 00:52:44,469

Nathan Kress: bad is going to happen.

Speaker:1400

52:44 ,580 --> 00:52:45,765

Nathan Kress: It's like, oh, i wonder what it's going to

Speaker:1401

52:45 ,785 --> 00:52:46,367

Nathan Kress: be this time.

Speaker:1402

52:46 ,780 --> 00:52:49,060

Nathan Kress: That's just sort of how we operate and

Speaker:1403

52:49 ,080 --> 00:52:51,048

Nathan Kress: we've just become so jaded by it.

Speaker:1404

52:51 ,120 --> 00:52:53,005

Nathan Kress: So it's not that it's just been this super

Speaker:1405

52:53 ,105 --> 00:52:54,649

Nathan Kress: glitzy life.

Speaker:1406

52:55 ,780 --> 00:52:57,980

Nathan Kress: I've learned a lot from those things And I

Speaker:1407

52:58 ,041 --> 00:53:02,021

Nathan Kress: think as a team my wife and my family we've

Speaker:1408

53:02 ,061 --> 00:53:04,983

Nathan Kress: come out better because of it And all of

Speaker:1409

53:05 ,043 --> 00:53:05,584

Nathan Kress: the things.

Speaker:1410

53:06 ,086 --> 00:53:08,981

Nathan Kress: I see how my path and the decisions that I

Speaker:1411

53:09 ,342 --> 00:53:11,229

Nathan Kress: made and that my parents helped me to make,

Speaker:1412

53:11 ,320 --> 00:53:13,606

Nathan Kress: especially in my young life, all of it's

Speaker:1413

53:13 ,626 --> 00:53:17,363

Nathan Kress: contributed to this And I'm so thrilled

Speaker:1414

53:17 ,403 --> 00:53:17,684

Nathan Kress: with it.

Speaker:1415

53:20 ,481 --> 00:53:24,960

Nathan Kress: I guess, if anything, i would just say I

Speaker:1416

53:25 ,000 --> 00:53:28,089

Nathan Kress: would have saved myself probably from a

Speaker:1417

53:28 ,230 --> 00:53:30,164

Nathan Kress: phase of being really uncomfortable with my

Speaker:1418

53:30 ,244 --> 00:53:32,651

Nathan Kress: body right after I moved out of my house.

Speaker:1419

53:32 ,740 --> 00:53:35,348

Nathan Kress: I just didn't know anything about taking

Speaker:1420

53:35 ,388 --> 00:53:38,725

Nathan Kress: care of myself or cooking healthy meals or

Speaker:1421

53:39 ,267 --> 00:53:41,291

Nathan Kress: having a regular exercise schedule.

Speaker:1422

53:43 ,524 --> 00:53:46,391

Nathan Kress: So I probably would just say start cooking

Speaker:1423

53:46 ,471 --> 00:53:49,006

Nathan Kress: sooner, because I could have saved myself a

Speaker:1424

53:49 ,066 --> 00:53:49,668

Nathan Kress: lot of agony.

Speaker:1425

53:50 ,040 --> 00:53:51,185

Marc Preston: I wish I'd done the same thing.

Speaker:1426

53:51 ,285 --> 00:53:53,225

Marc Preston: actually, i'm big in the cooking now and my

Speaker:1427

53:53 ,285 --> 00:53:54,409

Marc Preston: kids have grown up cooking.

Speaker:1428

53:54 ,690 --> 00:53:54,870

Nathan Kress: Yeah.

Speaker:1429

53:55 ,020 --> 00:53:55,944

Marc Preston: And that's another thing I've heard.

Speaker:1430

53:55 ,984 --> 00:53:58,464

Marc Preston: by the way, If you cook with your kids,

Speaker:1431

53:58 ,484 --> 00:54:00,542

Marc Preston: especially shop with your kids, they tend

Speaker:1432

54:00 ,562 --> 00:54:01,225

Marc Preston: to be healthier.

Speaker:1433

54:01 ,486 --> 00:54:03,787

Nathan Kress: Yes, yeah, that's something that I talk

Speaker:1434

54:03 ,807 --> 00:54:06,702

Nathan Kress: with my kids about macronutrients When

Speaker:1435

54:06 ,722 --> 00:54:07,667

Nathan Kress: we're having breakfast it's like, ok,

Speaker:1436

54:07 ,820 --> 00:54:08,865

Nathan Kress: there's your protein, there's your fat,

Speaker:1437

54:09 ,220 --> 00:54:12,001

Nathan Kress: let's find a good, healthy carb for you And

Speaker:1438

54:12 ,382 --> 00:54:14,088

Nathan Kress: just teach them that food is a science,

Speaker:1439

54:14 ,901 --> 00:54:16,426

Nathan Kress: it's a math equation and you've got to have

Speaker:1440

54:16 ,546 --> 00:54:19,786

Nathan Kress: balance in what you're doing, what you're

Speaker:1441

54:19 ,826 --> 00:54:20,007

Nathan Kress: eating.

Speaker:1442

54:20 ,087 --> 00:54:20,910

Nathan Kress: And I did not have that.

Speaker:1443

54:20 ,980 --> 00:54:21,944

Nathan Kress: I had to learn that the hard way.

Speaker:1444

54:22 ,380 --> 00:54:24,422

Nathan Kress: I literally lost out on a roll I probably

Speaker:1445

54:24 ,442 --> 00:54:25,721

Nathan Kress: shouldn't say which one, but it would have

Speaker:1446

54:25 ,741 --> 00:54:27,860

Nathan Kress: been a really fun one where it was down to

Speaker:1447

54:27 ,880 --> 00:54:30,503

Nathan Kress: me and two other guys And they said so,

Speaker:1448

54:31 ,366 --> 00:54:35,384

Nathan Kress: acting wise, he was the best, but he's just

Speaker:1449

54:35 ,484 --> 00:54:36,587

Nathan Kress: not physically.

Speaker:1450

54:37 ,209 --> 00:54:39,743

Nathan Kress: What we're looking for And what that was

Speaker:1451

54:39 ,803 --> 00:54:43,022

Nathan Kress: was that I was 30 pounds heavier than I

Speaker:1452

54:43 ,162 --> 00:54:47,381

Nathan Kress: should have been for my height and BMI And

Speaker:1453

54:47 ,482 --> 00:54:49,248

Nathan Kress: the other guys did not look that way.

Speaker:1454

54:49 ,880 --> 00:54:52,969

Nathan Kress: So I definitely lost out because I wasn't

Speaker:1455

54:53 ,009 --> 00:54:55,645

Nathan Kress: taking care of myself And that was a big.

Speaker:1456

54:56 ,307 --> 00:54:57,961

Nathan Kress: That snapped something for me And that was

Speaker:1457

54:58 ,022 --> 00:55:00,405

Nathan Kress: what kind of kicked me off on starting to

Speaker:1458

55:00 ,465 --> 00:55:01,388

Nathan Kress: take better care of myself.

Speaker:1459

55:01 ,460 --> 00:55:02,800

Nathan Kress: So if I would have done that sooner, i

Speaker:1460

55:02 ,840 --> 00:55:05,227

Nathan Kress: probably would have dealt with a little bit

Speaker:1461

55:05 ,287 --> 00:55:05,969

Nathan Kress: less anguish.

Speaker:1462

55:06 ,169 --> 00:55:07,032

Marc Preston: Well, that's fantastic.

Speaker:1463

55:07 ,060 --> 00:55:08,865

Marc Preston: Well, hey, before I go work, you do have a

Speaker:1464

55:08 ,905 --> 00:55:10,389

Speaker:1473

55:23 ,606 --> 00:55:26,504

Nathan Kress: accidental hiatus where he does so many

Speaker:1474

55:26 ,585 --> 00:55:29,051

Nathan Kress: other podcasts for local Seattle sports

Speaker:1475

55:29 ,091 --> 00:55:29,332

Nathan Kress: with that And I've been so busy at home and

Speaker:1478

55:36 ,229 --> 00:55:38,542

Nathan Kress: with some other work stuff that's been

Speaker:1479

55:38 ,582 --> 00:55:40,261

Nathan Kress: going on in the background that we just

Speaker:1480

55:40 ,322 --> 00:55:42,909

Nathan Kress: haven't been able to do it in the last

Speaker:1481

55:42 ,930 --> 00:55:43,250

Nathan Kress: little bit.

Speaker:1482

55:43 ,380 --> 00:55:45,226

Nathan Kress: I expect that we'll be able to come back at

Speaker:1483

55:45 ,266 --> 00:55:47,445

Nathan Kress: some point, but for now there's three years

Speaker:1484

55:47 ,485 --> 00:55:50,187

Nathan Kress: of episodes that people can catch up on.

Speaker:1485

Nathan Kress: Adobe Radio And we just kind of we cover a

Speaker:1487

55:55 ,207 --> 00:55:56,502

Nathan Kress: lot of parenting stuff, but it's mostly

Speaker:1488

55:56 ,542 --> 00:55:58,281

Nathan Kress: just sort of catharsis to each other and

Speaker:1489

55:58 ,382 --> 00:55:59,728

Nathan Kress: therapy about what we're dealing with.

Speaker:1490

56:00 ,320 --> 00:56:03,168
