RYAN, THANKS FOR BEING HERE. >> IT'S VERY NICE TO BE HERE, STEPHEN. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. >> Stephen: WHO IS WITH YOU? YOU'RE HUNKERED DOWN IN THE REYNOLDS BURNINGER? WHO IS THERE WITH YOU? >> I'M HERE WITH MY WIFE, BLAKE, OUR THREE DAUGHTERS-- FIVE, THREE, AND ABOUT EIGHTH MONTHS. THOSE AREN'T THEIR NAMES. THOSE ARE AGE S. >> Stephen: NO JUDGMENT. >> YEAH, AND MY MOTHER-IN-LAW HERE. SHE'S ALSO HERE. >> Stephen: NICE. >> SHE'S. A LIFESAVER. IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLE TO HAVE HER HERE. SHE DOESN'T KNOW IT-- ACTUALLY, SHE'S EMERGENCY FOOD IF THIS GETS REAL. >> Stephen: SURE. >> SO, YEAH, BUT IT'S GREAT HAVING HER HERE AS WELL. >> Stephen: WE ALL ARE IN THE END. >> YES, WE ARE. >> Stephen: THAT'S WHY I KEEP MYSELF SO WELL MARBLED. I'M THINKING OF MY FAMILY. I WILL NOT HESITATE TO EAT THE CHILDREN. >> Stephen: YOU'VE GOT TO BE FIRM. YOU'VE GOT TO BE FIRM. WAIT A SECOND, YOU'RE THE ONLY MAN IN A HOUSE WITH FIVE WOMEN? >> YEAH. I'M DOING MY PART TO WIPE MEN OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. >> Stephen: AND-- AND IS THAT GOOD FOR YOU? IS THAT A NICE REFRESHING CHANGE OF PACE? OR DO YOU MISMASCULINE COMPANY LIKE MINE? >> I DO NOT MISS MASCULINE COMPANY AT ALL. REALLY, MOST-- MOST-- YOU KNOW, MEN TEND TO JUST BE THE ARCHITECTS OF SOMEONE'S DEMISE. SO IT'S FINE. I LIKE JUST BEING HERE WITH THE GIRLS. I LIKE DOING THE GIRLS' STUFF. LIKE, I TRY NOT TO PUSH SORT OF GENDER NORMATIVE IDEAS ON MY KIDS AS THEY'RE BORN, BUT EACH ONE AS THEY CAME OUT OF THE CHUTE, THEY WANTED TO MAKE DRESSES. THEY WANTED TO DRESS IN HOT PINK ALL DAY. THAT'S WHAT I DO. THIS MORNING I MADE DRESSES OUT OF TISSUE PAPER WHICH WAS FUN FOR THEM. >> Stephen: THAT'S NICE. >> YEAH, YEAH, NOT BAD AT ALL, RIGHT. HOW IS IT GOING OVER THERE? >> Stephen: "PROJECT RUNWAY" WITH A BOX OF KLEENEX. >> THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING, DEVELOPING THE SKILLS THAT WILL TAKE US INTO THE NEW WORLD. >> Stephen: YOU'RE MAKING IT WORK, RYAN. >> MAKES SENSE. >> Stephen: WHAT ABOUT PERSONAL GROOMING? YOU'RE A STAR, YOU'RE RADIANT WITH YOUR OWN BEAUTY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT YOUR OWN PERSONAL GROOMING NOW THAT YOU'RE LOCKED INSIDE. >> I WAS WORKING ON A FILM UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO, JUST A LITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS AGO WE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE. THANKFULLY I GOT A HAIRCUT ON THE DAY WE SHUT DOWN. I WAS THINKING AHEAD. AND TOMORROW, BLAKE IS GOING-- TO GOING TO GIVE ME A HAIRCUT. SHE DID THIS ONCE BEFORE. IT TOOK TWO AND A HALF HOURS. AND THEN AT THE END IT LOOKED LIKE SHE HAD DONE THE WHOLE THING USING ONLY A LIGHTER OR, LIKE-- YOU KNOW, THOSE GLOVES THAT ARE MADE OF SAND PAPER. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE FASTER IF SHE HAD JUST WORE IT DOWN, JUST RUBBED MY HEAD UNTIL THE HAIR DISAPPEARED. TOMORROW I'M GETTING A HAIRCUT, VERY EXCI EXCITED. >> Stephen: PEOPLE ARE COMING UP WITH NEW IDEAS TO PAZ THE TIME. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO FILL THE EMPTY SPACES? >> WE'RE DOING A LOT OF HOME SCHOOLING. WE'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A LITTLE, TINY GARDEN. WE'RE LEARNING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT GARDENING. WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THIS AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE, BUT I'M MOSTLY DRINKING. >> Stephen: YOU HAVE A HEAD START ON MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LIQUOR COMPANY. >> I DO, I DO, I OWN A GIN COMPANY. IT'S A BLESSING AND A HUGE CURSE. >> Stephen: TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR GIN COMPANY. YOU GAVE ME A BOTTLE BACK IN THE DAY. >> I DID. >> Stephen: AND I HAVE IT WITH ME. >> OH! I HAVE MINE WITH ME, TOO. LOOK AT THIS. >> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE A COCKTAIL YOU PARTICULARLY LIKE TO MAKE WITH YOUR AVIATION GIN. >> I LIKE TO DRINK GIN AND SODA. I AM LIKE ABOUT THE SODA PART. >> Stephen: THAT'S THE NICE THING ABOUT A CLEAR LIQUOR. >> RIGHT. >> Stephen: NO JUDGMENT. >> YEAH, THIS COULD BE ALKALINE WATER, FOR ALL ANYONE KNOWS. MMM. >> Stephen: HERE I GO. >> SORRY, THAT WAS RUDE OF ME TO SIP BEFORE YOU-- BEFORE -- >> Stephen: NO, I NEED TO-- I NEED TO DO THIS IN A CIVILIZED WAY. >> CRUSHED ICE AND EVERYTHING. MY GOD, ALL THE CFORTZ OF -- >> Stephen: YOU AND BLAKE HAVE ACTUALLY DONE SOME WONDERFUL WORK CHARITABLY SO FAR IN RESPONSE TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND WAYS THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP AS WELL. >> WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT REALLY IN THE BUSINESS OF TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO DO, NECESSARILY. BUT I DO THINK IT'S INCUMBENT UPON THOSE WHO CAN GIVE BACK TO DO SO, PARTICULARLY IN A TIME LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW. PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING TO PAY REPRESENT. THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO BUY FOOD. AND FOOD I THINK SAY NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE AND PRETTY MUCH TREATING PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT, THAT'S, YOU KNOW-- THAT'S PART OF THE INTEGRITY OF DEMOCRACY. SO I-- I-- I JUST FELT IT IMPORTANT AND BLAKE FELT IT VERY IMPORTANT TO GIVE BACK. SO WE MADE A PRETTY SIZABLE DONATION TO FOOD BANKS IN BOTH CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES. >> Stephen: YOU DONATED $1 MILLION TO FOOD BANKS IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. AND $400,000 TO NEW YORK HOSPITALS. AND YOU'RE GIVING BACK WYOUR COMPANIES, AVIATION GIN, AND HOW IS MINT MOBILE GIVING BACK? YOU HAVE A MOBILE PHONE COMPANY? >> I LOVED MINT MOBILE. I USED IT FOR A YEAR BEFORE I BOUGHT THE COMPANY. IT'S 15 BUCKS A MONTH PUP GET THE SAME SERVICE EVERYBODY ELSE IS PAYING $65 OR 100 BUCKS A MONTH FOR, SO IT MADE SENSE TO PARTICULARLY IN TIMES LIKE THIS, IT'S SOMETHING WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE BACK A LITTLE BIT, TOO. WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE EVERYBODY FREE DATA, HAVING ACCESS TO TELECOMMUNICATION AT A TIME LIKE THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE. SO, YEAH, IT WAS IMPORTANT TO US TO DO SOMETHING THERE. I THINK MOST COMPANIES IF THEY CAN NEED TO BE DOING SOMETHING. THEY NEED TO BE GIVING BACK. >> Stephen: HOLD THAT THOUGHT. >> NICE! WOW, YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL. ABSOLUTE PROFESSIONAL. OH, WOW! IT'S LIKE A YOUNG TOM CRUISE BEHIND THE BAR THERE. >> Stephen: UH-HUH. >> YOU LOOK LIKE THE OWNER OF THE GIN COMPANY. YOU'RE THE OWNER OF AVIATION GIN, NOT ME. I'M DRINKING IN A HALF-ASSED TUMBLER. >> Stephen: I DO. I HAVE A PHYSIQUE THAT LENDS ITSELF TO DRINKING. >> RIGHT. >> Stephen: I COME PREDISSIPATED. YOU LOOK TOO HEALTHY TO OWN A GIN COMPANY. >> THAT'S A QUARANTINEY. >> Stephen: TELL US ABOUT YOUR NATIVE CANADA. WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE? DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE QUARANTINE AND THE SPREAD OF THE CORONAVIRUS UP THERE? >> YEAH, IT'S PRETEE I MEAN, THEY'RE SUFFERING FROM SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS, OBVIOUSLY, A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. IT'S A SIMILAR-- SIMILAR ISSUE OVER THERE. I TALKED TO SUBJECT OTHER DAY. IT WAS SHOCKING TO ME BECAUSE THEY SORT OF SAID THAT-- YOU KNOW, THEY SORT OF FELT LIKE IT'S PNEUMONIA. AND THEY SAID, "CORONAVIRUS CAUSES PNEUMONIA, AND PNEUMONIA IS NOT THAT BIG A DEAL." I CAN KIND OF SPEAK TO THAT. I CAN TELL YOU A TINY LITTLE ANTIDOTE ABOUT MY FATHER WHO WAS A VERY, VERY STRONG GUY, A BOXER AND EXCOP, JUST, LIKE, A TOUGH, TOUGH MAN. AND JUST THIS ABSOLUTELY SLOOUT INEXHAUSTIBLE WELLSPRING OF STORIES. A LOT OF THEM INVOLVED IDIOCY. SOMEPLACE THEM WERE KIND, SOME OF THEM WERE COMPASSIONATE, BUT A LOT WERE ABOUT IDIOCY. I REMEMBER MY DAD HE DRAGGED A STUMP OUT OF THE BACKYARD USING A BUICK, AND, OF COURSE, THE STUMP WON. I REMEMBER HIM USING A METAL SHOVEL TO FREE AN ACTIVE LAWNMOWER. THAT'S-- LITERALLY USING A SHOVEL. >> Stephen: FREE AN ACTIVE LAWNMOWER? >> IT HAD GROUND DOWN ON THE LAWN AND HE TOOK A SHOVEL TO SORT OF FREE THIS THING. I REMEMBER WATCHING HIM CLIMB INTO HIS OWN SEPTIC TANK. I SAW HIM USE A CHAINSAW WHEN HE SUFFERED FROM LATE-STAGE PARKINSON'S DISEASE, AND A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS-- POURING GAS ON BURNING LEAVES. HE PUNCHED OUT MY LITTLE LEAGUE COACH. BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT KILLED HIM, PNEUMONIA. PNEUMONIA IS VERY SERIOUS. IT CAN TAKE OUTLET TOUGHEST OF US. IT GOT MY DAD. CORONAVIRUS SAY SERIOUS THING AND I SEE PARTICULARLY YOUNGER PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S NOT REALLY THEIR PROBLEM. AND, MY GOD, IT'S THEIR PROBLEM. THERE ARE SOME BELOVED PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPROMISED IMMUNE ISSUES. THERE'S ELDERLY PEOPLE THAT ARE BELOVED THAT WE LOVE, NOT JUST IN SHOW BUSINESS, BUT IN LIFE, TOO. AND WE'VE GOT TO DO ALL WE CAN. SO, YEAH, SCARY TIMES. BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS SOMEHOW. >> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE ALSO TRIED TO HELP SERVICE INDUSTRY WORKERS, PEOPLE IN BARS AND RESTAURANTS WHO DON'T HAVE ANY WORK RIGHT NOW, AND WHO ALWAYS SORT OF ARE DEPENDENT UPON THEIR TIPS. THEY HAVE NO CUSTOMERS NOW. YOU AND BLAKE HAVE ALSO HELPED THEM. >> YEAH, BLAKE AND I WANTED TO GIVE BACK TO THE BARTENDERS, PEOPLE IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY. THEY'RE ACTUALLY SOME OF THE HARDEST HIT IN THIS CRISE. SO, YEAH, AVIATION GIN STARTED A TAB, 15 GRAND IN THE UNITED STATES AND 10 GRANT GRANDIN CANADA. THE REAL THING IS 30% OF EVERY BOTTLE SOLD, THE PROCEEDS OF EVERY BOTTLE, GO TO THE UNITED STATES BARTENDERS' GUILD, AND THEY ARE THERE TO HELP OUT-OF-WORK BARTENDERS. IT'S AN AMAZING ORGANIZATION AND HUGE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE EXTREMELY-- EXTREMELY PROUD OF. >> Stephen: WERE YOU EVER IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY? WERE YOU EVER A WAITER OR BARTENDER? >> OH, HELL, YES. I WORKED-- I WORKED AT TWO DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS. I WORKED AT A PLACE CALLED THE ROYAL VANCOUVER YACHT CLUB GROWING UP IN VANCOUVER. >> Stephen: THAT'S VERY TONY, VERY TONY. >> IT'S VERY FANCY IS WHAT IT WAS. AND WHAT A PLACE. I WORKED AT A GROCERY STORE FROM MIDNIGHT TO 8:00 A.M. SO I DID THAT FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. SO I HAVE A HUGE AFFINITY FOR THOSE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE STOCK THOSE SHELVES AND MAKING SURE EVERY HOUSEHOLD HAS FOOD ON THE TABLE. >> Stephen: WE OWE SO MUCH TO THOSE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. GIVE IT UP FOR THE GROCERY STORE WORKERS RIGHT NOW. >> MASSIVE. WORKING IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRIES AND WORKING AT A GROCERY STORE, I THINK THOSE JOBS TAUGHT ME MORE ABOUT WORKING IN HOLLYWOOD THAN ALMOST ANYTHING I'VE EVER DONE. >> Stephen: HOW SO? >> WELL, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HOLLYWOOD, YOU KNOW, YOU WORK WITH A LOT OF TEEM "PEOPLE" THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, NOT NECESSARILY ACCOUNTABLE. THERE'S A TREMENDOUS FLEXIBILITY WITH PEOPLE WHO-- YOU KNOW, YOU COULD SHOW UP A WEEK LATE, AND THEY'LL JUST CLAP ONCE YOU GET TO SET. SO I THINK WORKING THOSE JOBS, THEY TAUGHT ME A REAL KIND OF STEADFAST ACCOUNTABILITY. I ALWAYS SORT OF FELT LIKE IF I'M FIVE MINUTES EARLY I'M ALREADY 10 MINUTES LATE. AND I'M TELLING YOU THAT'S HALF OF THE GOOD THINGS THAT HAVE COME TO ME HAVE BEEN ABOUT HYPERACCOUNTABLE, AND THAT ALSO CREATES A KIND OF-- AND INFUSES GRATITUDE FOR THE POSITION YOU'RE NUNDERSTANDING THE POSITION YOU'RE IN. IT'S A FLEETING THING. IT DOESN'T LAST. SO, YOU KNOW, I-- THOSE JOBS TAUGHT ME A LOT. I MEAN, WE'RE GOING-- WORKING AT THAT SAFEWAY, WORKING AT THE BAR, WORKING AT THE YACHT CLUB. IF YOU'RE 15 MINUTES LATE, YOU'RE FIRED. SO IT'S -- >> Stephen: AND EVERYONE SHOULD WORK IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY AT SOME POINT. THEN YOU KNOW KNOW HOW TO BE NICE TO PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY. >> YOU REALLY DO. >> Stephen: AND YOU LEARN WHAT IT'S LIKE TO DO A JOB WHERE YOU CANNOT ANSWER IN KIND. >> NO! >> Stephen: PEOPLE CAN BE INCREDIBLY ( BLEEP ) TO YOU, AND YOU GO, "ALL RIGHT, LET ME TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR YOU." >> YUP. YOU'RE JUST GOING TO SMILE-- YOU KNOW HALF-- MORE THAN HALF OF YOUR INCOME IS COMING FROM TIPS. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S-- YOU'RE BEHOLDEN, IN A CERTAIN WAY, THAT YOU JUST DON'T FIND IN ANY OTHER INDUSTRY. I HAVE SUCH HUGE RESPECT FOR PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THOSE INDUSTRIES. I'M ALWAYS CAREFUL WHEN I'M AROUND THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY SEE THEM AND KNOW THAT THEY'RE APPRECIATED. BUT, YEAH, YEAH, CRAZY TIMES. >> Stephen: RYAN, WE HAVE TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK. BUT PLEASE DON'T GO ANYWHERE. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE OF THIS COCKTAIL.
