-Hey, we're back. Ryan Reynolds,
we love you, buddy.
Thank you so much
for doing this.
We really appreciate
you doing this.
And I want to talk to you about
a lot of the charitable stuff
you've been doing,
you and Blake Lively.
But first,
talk to me about "Free Guy,"
because I was so excited
about this movie,
and now it's pushed.
Do we know
what's going on with it?
And what is the movie about,
and --
-Well, "Free Guy"
is probably my favorite --
I think it's my favorite film
that I've ever been a part of.
It really is --
And that says a lot,
'cause I spent half my life
working on "Deadpool."
But it's about a bank teller
who is -- each and every day
he's shot at or shot,
he's stabbed, run over,
punched in the face,
hurt, injured, maimed,
all these things.
And then one day, he realizes
that he's a background character
in an open-world video game.
So he decides to sort of, "I'm
going to take the power back,
and I'm going
to change this world."
And that's
where it goes from there.
Taika Waititi's in it,
Jodie Comer, Joe Keery --
-Ah.
-Utkarsh Ambudkar --
Like, the best cast
in the world.
Like, every single one of them
are amazing.
Lil Rel Howery.
-Almost like -- Oh, Lil Rel.
Oh, I love him.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Like, so it's almost like
an extra in, like,
"Grand Theft Auto"
or something like that type of
game?
-Yeah, it's a little bit like
if you sort of hybridized...
-"Sims"?
-..."Fortnite"
with -- "Fortnite
and "Grand Theft Auto"
and sort of created
a slightly more wild, stylized,
violent world,
this is this guy
who's just not a violent guy
who's just trying to sort of
navigate his way through.
It's so funny, and it's just,
like, a total fastball of joy,
which I think we need right now
more than ever.
So I'm hoping it's released
sooner than later.
But I know Disney's super
excited about it.
They bought it from Fox,
where I used to work, yeah.
And, yeah.
And here we go, yeah.
-And it's called "Free Guy."
Is "Deadpool" also Fox?
-"Deadpool," yeah, was Fox,
and then now it is
in the hands of Marvel
over there at Disney, yeah.
-And can those worlds
be combined,
or we don't know?
-I see so much -- I see infinite
possibility in either version.
If "Deadpool" were to be
in the Marvel Comic Universe,
or the Marvel Cinematic
Universe, rather,
I think it would be explosive
and amazing
and what a sandbox to play in.
If "Deadpool" continued
to get to just do his own thing
and be his own thing,
also just, like, infinite
possibility.
And, you know,
I mean, we have so much --
-Dude, you made that
your own thing.
I mean, I watched that
with Nancy,
and I go -- I pause it.
I'm one of those idiots that
keeps pausing the movie.
She's like, "Will you stop?"
I go, "He's just brilliant.
That is so his line.
That's so him.
He totally just did that.
I'm telling you,
we can call him up right now
and ask him. He did that."
Like, I could tell --
But it's so you
that I just think --
-I love it. I do -- I write it
with two other guys,
Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick,
who are geniuses
and amazing in so many ways.
And we just have so much fun.
We actually write it all
right in here
in this room where I'm sitting.
And we just have the best time
doing it together.
So we hope -- There's
a lot more story to tell,
so we hope we get
to do that soon.
-There's a couple jokes that you
told me about I won't say now,
'cause I don't want to ruin it
if it's in the third one,
but it didn't make it
to the second one,
but it was this really, really
funny thing that was going on.
I was like, "Oh, they'll
never let you do that."
-Yeah, you could
fill a gymnasium
with some of the jokes that got
cut out of "Deadpool 1" and "2"
that would get us all arrested
or turned into some sort
of Disney liquid.
Yeah.
-Before we talk about
what charity you're going
to highlight tonight,
I wanted to just thank
you and Blake Lively
for what you've done.
You've been so generous.
I can't even --
Let me just say some things.
You guys donated $1 million
to split between Feeding America
and Food Banks Canada.
That was the first thing I saw.
And I was like, oh, my goodness.
That was just beyond.
Then you donated $400,000
to split between four
New York City hospitals.
You've donated 30%
of your Aviation Gin's profits
to bartender relief funds
in the U.S., Canada,
and you've just added
U.K. to that.
That's just cool
that you did that.
-Yeah. I mean, look.
It's -- We're obscenely,
and I mean obscenely privileged
to be able to do that.
You know, and my companies,
Mint Mobile included
and certainly Aviation Gin,
they're companies that are
doing well despite all of this.
And if you're a company that's
staying afloat and doing well,
particularly the latter, doing
well, you've got to give back.
I think it's incumbent
on those companies to give back.
You know, and then
the food banks --
Food Banks Canada
and Feeding America
and the hospitals,
those are just things
that, you know,
are so essential.
I mean, I grew up in Canada.
I grew up in a super
middle class neighborhood.
My dad was a cop,
and he had four kids,
and my mom was a student.
You know, we didn't have
any money or anything.
But we always
had food on the table.
And I remember them reminding us
constantly how lucky we were
to have food on the table.
And I knew kids in my school
and around there
that relied on food banks
just to make ends meet,
not every day but sometimes
when things got tough.
And that's something
that I think, as a kid,
is pretty indelible. It sticks
with you and stays with you.
And so giving back
to these organizations --
And we're going to continue to
give back to these organizations
hopefully throughout
our working lives.
-Good for you, and thank you
so much for doing that.
I appreciate what you do.
And, Canada, we love you.
Canada's watching, 'cause I know
Canada watches when you're on.
So, Canada, we love you, too.
-Yeah. I love Canada, too.
-Foodbankscanada.ca.
And just anything will help.
We appreciate it.
Ryan, I can't wait
to see you in person.
Hug the family.
My best to the babies and Blake.
You're awesome, pal.
And keep making us smile, buddy.
Thank you so much for coming on.
-Thanks for having me, Jimmy.
I appreciate it.
I'll see you soon.
-Bye, bud.
