i am delighted by the idea of shane in interviews after they've been outed just. being more himself.
not because he owes the world ANYTHING but because he already did ALL the right things and obeyed the media training and acted just how he was supposed to, and then his world got blown to smithereens anyway, so FUCK IT. he still mostly stays on the rails, but he is more relaxed in interviews with ilya because a little bit "fuck it" and a little bit "i'm sitting next to my favorite person while doing this"
they DO end up sidetracking each other, though, a la the way ilya kept cracking up and wrecking the ccm shoot
they get asked couple interview questions that are just softball content things like "who cooks the most?"
and IMMEDIATELY the answer is delayed by bickering
"-kay, yeah, maybe during the season you do more cooking, but let's also talk about who sets the fire alarm off more"
"oh, we want to do this? who is the one who tried to set our toaster on fire this morning, hollander? remind me of this"
"oh, you mean our THIRD toaster this year because you just shove stuff in there and see what happen-"
"you also were curious about if cookies could go in there. you know you were."
"no, i wasn't! i said don't do it!"
"no, you are rewriting history." *hand flick and look to camera* i asked if cookies could go in the toaster, and he said 'i don't know.'" *look back to shane* "you wanted to know."
"no! that is not what that means at ALL. that doesn't-"
"no, you're ridiculous." *look back to camera* "he cooks more, but you can also ask the fire department who sets off the alarm more. it's the same answer."
"the fire department came ONE time."
"yeah, and it's one more than i've ever had them called on me."
"yes, because your great love is the microwave and that-"
and the interviewer behind the camera just. really does not know where to jump in here because they are fully more focused on each other than actually. doing the interview.
