Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, Daisy, Igga, Johns Gleam, Pale, Anthony Ramos, How are
you guys? Great now? Glenn, you worked with Bill Pexton
years ago and he was in the original Twister. All right,
you probably obviously didn't know you were going to do
this movie when you worked with them, But did it
come up in conversation? Oh?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Absolutely, I mean we shot that in Texas, and I
think one of the wild parts about talking ability. He
was such a smart guy, but every movie he did,
you know, he really he was such a curious individual,
but he really cared about the weather after Twisters like
that was something he was one of the great passions
of his life. And he was just a really exceptional guy.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
And Daisy, I love that you are the brains of
the operation. You saved the day without giving too much away.
Have you carried that on as well? Like bil Dier,
Do you look at the sky now and you're life
and it's like Tornado with it today?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I definitely think so. I mean, I think the thing
of getting to film in Oklahoma, you know you can't help,
has suddenly become really like aware of cloud formation and
because you're experiencing extreme weather, and obviously I'm from London,
so it doesn't get that extreme for me. So it
was so cool to actually film there and experience like
we had actual storms, actual sort of tornadoes descend while

(01:13):
we're not onset what we were filming, but you know,
around the area, and it was just it was wild.
I went chasing for real with Glennon and Brandon actually
with a few of the storm chasers and it was
it was so cool to actually chase.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I was gonna ask, you guys, are storm Chasers real?
And yeah, I was going to say, did you go
on a ride along?

Speaker 4 (01:31):
These are real people. There's a group of people on
earth that do this for a living. They you know,
and this is their life. Yeah, life's mission. And they
go out there and they put their lives on the
line to hopefully collect some kind of that, you know,
and sometimes most of the time they say you don't
see anything or you don't even see a tornado, but
that they go out there at time and time again

(01:53):
and hopes to catch something.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Now, Anthony, I read that Steven Spielberg, he's the ap
for this and he told you not to do the
southern accent. Is that a relief and what does that
mean to you?

Speaker 4 (02:06):
One less thing to think about. You know, the best
part for me was was that growing up. I don't
think that many many of us in that neighborhood dreamt
of being meteorologists or even you know, actors, right, And
I'm just grateful that I have the opportunity to, you know,
to have to keep the way I speak, and you know,

(02:29):
to be on the big screen sounding like a Puerto
Rican kid from the projects in Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I know what that's like because kiways in New Zealand.
Anytime New Zealand's mentioned, or if we heard a Kiwi
accent on an interview, we're like, oh my god, it's us,
you know, the same same vibe. Can you guys, can
you could do a Kiwi accent?

Speaker 3 (02:51):
I think I could if I worked today.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
How do you say twisters in.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Kwi twisters tornado? That's pretty sim don't confuse us with
don't he's coming across a little bit ouzzy twisters. It's

(03:15):
really confronting when you guys try and selling me. It's
really bad.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Now that we're going to do all the rest of
our interviews today in action.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Please do, please do, do you guys reckon if you
were in a natural disaster now that you would be
able to handle yourselves, particularly if a twister was to occur.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I think, I think I know to what i'd actually
I actually was the first time I ever filmed in
the South. I was filming in Louisiana and the first
night I got there, there was a tornado warning on
my Like I woke up to a tornado warning I
like on the phone, and I was like, what do
I do? I didn't know what to do. I know

(03:59):
you have to go like inside, away from windows, preferably
obviously in a bunker if you can, or blow ground.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
But yeah, so not in a bath.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Double bath was like light some candles try to stay calm, right.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
So, out of the three of you, who is most
likely to run away crying in a disaster situation? Do
you think? Please say glean. I just really wanted to
be clean.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm not doing this key re accent all day.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Think away you you'd be like the air. I'm in
the bubble bath.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Thank you so much for your time today, guys. I
loved the movie. It was on par, if not better
than the original. And yeah, it's lovely chatting to you
