Why can't Sterling K. Brown and James Marsden stop laughing?

They're making this up! This is outstanding

I'm about to crack it. Sterling K. Brown and James Milstone, welcome to Heart's Evening Show

How are you both? Doing great, man. How are you? I'd love to know, what's a sort of like typical evening for you when you're not busy

you haven't got work the next day? James, would like a regular night in be out for you

Or is it in? Oh, it's out, baby. It's in the club. Yeah, when I'm not working, you can find me in the club

my pastime is doing nothing really yeah stay at home lounge around spend time with my kids

selling you the same sort of like pretty much the same man like i my kids are a little bit

younger than james they're 13 and 9 and they're in the youth sports and everything so i love going

to their games watching them learn new things is kind of my favorite thing to do when i'm not at

work that is that's incredible i love that well um huge congratulations on paradise is out right

now on Disney Plus. Both unbelievable performances. There is so much chat in our office today

Are you serious? Well, some people have seen one episode, some people have seen more

There's a lot of chatter. People are intrigued, confused. Theories flying around already

A lot of people shouting in people's faces. No spoilers. James, is that the kind of reaction you want

from an audience watching this? Yes. I think so. It'd be great if there

were actual battles, though. A full-on fight. I think we could orchestrate it

There's some tension going on. Shouting is not enough sometimes. I'd like to have a full-on brawl

No, it's a testament to the show, and we're very proud of it, obviously

And it's an ambitious show concept-wise, and I feel like we pull it off nicely

And you just want the audience to be jazzed about it. And to see the responses has been, you know, obviously really gratifying

I'll even tell you this much. For me, I don't know if you saw this, James. when we got here, the drive from the airport to our hotel

I saw so many billboards for it. And, like, I'm used to things sort of like

oh, maybe it'll be big in the States. I had no anticipation of so much publicity for it over here

which is heartwarming. It's amazing. We absolutely love a sort of whodunit in the U Sterling your character Xavier he switches between sort of being this loving dad getting the school lunches ready to being a secret service agent getting ready to protect the president

We've talked about decompressing a little bit. A lot of people who listen to this show

just finish a long day at work. They're trying to wind down at night. Are you quite good at that

Are you quite good at once you get home sort of leaving work at the door? I am. I am

I think the kids actually help with that. You know what I'm saying? Because anytime there's a remnant of the character

that may still be sort of residing in your soul, like once the kids say like hey man i need help with my homework or like can you help me like grab

these drawers for me because i'm running around buck naked and i need to wear some underwear i'm

like yeah man you don't need to be swinging everywhere um like it brings you right back to

where you need to be and i think that's what one of the beautiful things about the kids specifically

you can't spend so much time thinking about yourself right like you literally can't they

need that well i've actually been inspired by your new series i've done a little bit of digging

around on the both of you. I've actually managed to get some top secret files, a dossier, if you like

A dossier. You can confirm this information or you can choose to have it scrubbed from the record

but confidential. Confidential. Say it nice and legit. James Marsden. Oh, dear

Date of burst, September 18th. Correct. So far, so good. Eye color blue

Thanks for leaving out the year, by the way. Eye color blue

Right, it says here, You love movies that are so bad that they actually become good again

Hmm. I don't remember saying that. Fan of bad movies? Is it a fan of bad movies

Yeah, sure. Yeah, what's a bad movie? Yeah, give me like your top three. I don't know. Top three of that bad movie

Does it say anything about my memory in there? Maybe. I don't remember saying this, but I think because maybe I grew up in the 80s on cable television

Do you know what? Hang on. Let me just confirm. Can we have that one? Yeah, we're going to have that one scrubbed from the record, James

Don't worry. I've also got written down here, you were known as the cafeteria kid in high school

What's that about? These manufactured women's coming from. The cafeteria kid. I'm trying to make truth out of these somehow

My mother was a cafeteria lady when I was in elementary school

She was the one, yes, she worked at the school. Did she give you extra? She did and she gave me extra love when I was going through there and I didn want it You wanted to I wanted to yes I wanted to blend in There are good things about me stepping away from home and I just yeah

Scrub from the record, please. Yes, scrub. Says that you have a hidden talent for impressions

He does. He does. I can do some impressions, but I always forget them, though

It's always like an impression of somebody on set that nobody knows. This is total nonsense

I'll just burn that later. You're going to check your sources. He's killing it

Sterling K. Brown, let's see what we found on you. I can't wait. Date of birth, 5th of April

Correct. So far, so good. Eye color brown. Oh, yeah. Everything on me is brown, Jack

Right. Says here, says here that you're a bit of a rowdy soccer dad

Is it true that you were once on the sidelines chanting, quote

he's big, he's red, his feet stick out of bed, he's Peter Crouch

they're making this up i can be a bit of uh of uh i go after the refs if i feel like they're

treating my son unfair this is true but i do can you show me like if i'm a ref yeah i just give

a like a yellow card or something like that for a weak tackle what are we what are we doing here ref what is this kind of this thing's been going on all day you're gonna give it to my son what

what because he's black and i always hit him with that especially when they're white and then they

turn a whole shade of red. Because then they're like, they get all freaked out by that

And I was like, well, make sure you call it even. That's how I do it. All right, that one's staying

Keep it, keep it. Right, speaking of impressions. Yeah. I've got here that apparently

you do a really impressive donkey impression. You almost made me curse

He's about to yell at you like the ref. Yeah, please don't. Yeah, no

No, what are we talking about? What is this? No donkey impression

I mean, I can do like an Eddie Murphy's laugh and who played donkey in Shrek

You know, like... No, that's terrible. That's just Eddie Murphy. That's just Eddie Murphy

And that was a terrible Eddie Murphy laugh. I apologize. All right. That's better

That's better. Donkey impressions. Scroft on the record, please. Says, are you also a big fan of Cabbage Patch Kids

What the... Wow. Oh, my God. I more of a Garbage Patch Kid myself This is actually true What is so brilliant about this is like the complete and total lack of research actually makes for an incredible interview

This is outstanding. I've got it wrong, though. I'm a garbage pail kid

Oh, yes. There you go. That's what it was. It's really strange because these questions have some morsel of truth in them somehow that makes you feel compelled to create an answer

Guys, I'm just going to burn it all down, if that's all right. Keep it. I'm going to get rid of it

I loved it. And lastly, before we let you guys go, it's been a lot of fun tonight

but we do something on the show called Go To Bed. We realize there's a lot of parents who listen to the show

They struggle to get their kids to go to bed on time, so we thought we'd give them a shout-out on the radio

Maybe they would listen to a voice coming from the radio. Do you have any techniques to, like, getting your kids to go to bed on time

I got one foolproof one that my wife gets very mad at me sometimes

when we're coming off of holidays and they've been up all night for many days at a time

Brown will drop that melatonin in a heartbeat. Terrible advice for some

Great advice for others. Effective. Effective. It gets the job done. I'll go one more and I actually will just tell them giving them cough syrup and it's just whiskey

I'm just doing shows because it is funny. Yeah, yeah. Then they say some funny things and they fall asleep

This is what you call a dad move. Dads get it done in a dad way

And then if they don't go to sleep, I pretend like they're a ref at Sterling's kids' soccer game or whatever

And just berate them. If it works, it works. If it works, it works

I don't care if they're really asleep. They may just be terrified and pretending like they're asleep

But, hey, I can go watch my show. Okay. Real, real advice. Turn off all technology at least an hour beforehand

Have some sort of routine. if the bath time helps them get to bath time make sure you start that

if you want them in bed by 8.30 start at 7.45 and then truth truth on my side

it's rum not whiskey paradise is out right now on disney plus

uh stanley k brown and james wildson thank you so much for talking to me thank you dude
