The Tom Green Farm (2026) s01e02 Episode Script

1
- Welcome to the
Tom Green Farm.
A place where the quiet of
the countryside
blends with all the
noise of real life.
Animals, friends, neighbours.
And the occasional celebrity
who wanders into the wilderness
of my daily routine.
Today we've got a full house.
Priyanka is here,
Canada's drag superstar.
Performer, icon,
and just an incredible presence
to have on the property.
And Michael Cera drops by.
Thoughtful, funny, rounded in
that very Michael Cera way.
Taking a seat at one of the
picnic tables outside,
we have a
great conversation.
And towards the end of the
episode, my yearling foal,
a baby horse, Aria,
she comes home after six months
of weaning
at my friend
Amy Himmelman's farm.
So come along for the ride,
we'll wander through the
kitchen,
the barn, the pond
and the pasture,
and take things as they come.
Welcome to the Tom Green Farm.

(Tom mumbles indistinctly)
- We almost just killed
a chicken.
- Almost killed a chicken,
almost killed a chicken.
- Are there any bears?
- There's bears here, yeah.
- Like on your property?
- Lots of bears, yeah.
Lots of bears.
Yeah, they won't--
- You know, in the gay
community, a bear is a thing,
you know this?
- I did know that,
I did know that.
- Of course you do.
(laughing)
Wow!
- Those are the guinea hens.
- They eat the ticks.
- Yeah.
This is the pond that we stock
with trout.
- Cool!
- Which we'll we can go
feed the trout after lunch.
- Big, burly men are bears
in the gay community.
- Ah, I see, okay.
- Daddies. You're a daddy.
- What's a daddy compared to
a bear?
- Older gentlemen.
- Okay.
- In his fifties.
- Okay.
- Money.
- Mm-hmm.
- Rich.
- Okay.
(laughing)
- This is so magical!
- Here's another field,
there's seven fields like this.
- Geez.
- Now, what about pronouns?
You know, everyone always talks
about pronouns.
- Yeah. He, she they/them.
- What are your pronouns?
- When I'm in drag,
everyone's she/her.
- Yeah.
And so, when you're not in drag
and you're Mark?
Are you Mark?
- I'm Mark, yeah.
To my close family
or some of my friends who've
known me
before I started the whole
Priyanka thing.
- Yeah.
See, this is all woods and--
- And you own all of this?
This is all your home.
- Yeah.
What I basically do a lot,
just when I'm home by myself,
is I'll take Fanny out
on a little ride by myself
and just
It's so quiet out there,
you know?
Just go out through the woods
and just kinda chill back there.
- My mom gave it to me because
they didn't want us to get
bullied in school.
- Okay.
- So I have three brothers.
Steve, Mike, Mark, Chris.
- That sounded kinda like
tough names?
(growling)
Yeah, oh, don't mess with Mark.
- Wow!
- This is the beach,
and we're gonna look at
the beach, yeah.
- Wow!
- Yup.
- Looks like a postcard.
- Yeah.
You know, so, you have
sandy beach here
and you can swim here.
It's a lot of fun!
What's your background then?
- Guyanese.
- Guyanese!
- Yeah.
- Okay, so the--
- South American.
- They didn't give you Guyanese
names then.
- No. My Hindu name is Avinash.
What a great name!
- Yeah.
- It's perfect.
- There's something swimming
there.
See that? Some sort of a
animal.
See it? Right over there.
- This is how I go.
- A muskrat or something,
like a beaver maybe.
- Uh-huh, are there beavers
here?
- See that? Yes, beavers and
It might even be a snake.
- No!
- Possible. Water snake, yeah.
- I hate snakes.
- Yeah.
- No!
- Good thing it's
200 yards away.
- This is so beautiful!
- We're gonna be back down here
after lunch, so we're gonna be
out on a boat,
it's gonna be a
very peaceful and
- And beautiful.
- A nice time.
(soft music)
Well, would you look at
this kitchen?
It really turned out great.
I don't wanna say
I've got egg on my face,
but I didn't wanna
redo the kitchen.
And now that we've redone
the kitchen,
Amanda has been making
a lot of eggs.
And now, I've got egg
on my face.
But not just because
I've actually got a lot of eggs
on my face,
but also because I'm a little
bit embarrassed
'cause I didn't
wanna redo the kitchen
and fortunately, my mother and
my, then fiancée, now wife,
convinced me that I should,
and boy, it really turned out
good.
I didn't think I would enjoy it
so much.
So much so that we're probably
gonna do
a lot of the interviews for
this show in the kitchen now.
'Cause I actually feel like
it's something that looks nice
for the show.
This is a studio now, it's
a kitchen and it's a studio.
And we'll be doing interviews
on this series
throughout the property
in different places,
in the barn, in the loft
of the barn,
and in the gazebos.
We have various gazebos
on the property.
If you like gazebos
or if you just like to hear
the word gazebos,
then this is a good show for you
because we'll be saying the word
gazebo a lot on this show.
(a song is strummed
on the guitar and whistled)
Hi, ladies! How are ya?
Hi! How are ya?
(donkey braying)
Priyanka, thank you for coming
to the farm.
- I like the farm.
- When did you first start doing
television?
- When I was 16.
I volunteered at
a local TV station.
I just wanted to one day,
be on the screen.
- That school you went to,
Niagara College, or?
- Yeah! I did--
- For broadcasting?
- For film, TV and radio.
And then you have
you could do either production
or presentation on air.
I chose, of course, presentation.
- Yeah, we--
- I have a lot to present.
- We have similar backgrounds,
I went to Algonquin College and
studied television broadcasting.
- Wow!
- So yeah.
- That's so we're the same
person.
- Do you have family
that's supportive
of everything you're doing or?
- Yeah, but when you're an
entertainer,
family relationships are kinda
weird sometimes.
- Yeah.
- Uh
But when I first did
Drag Race,
I didn't tell my dad
I was gay, or a drag queen.
- Mm-hmm.
- So he had to find out
with the masses
when I was announced on
Canada's Drag Race.
- Wow. That's how he found out.
- He found out
and I blame my mom,
but in a fun way.
She was like, "Let's not tell
your dad."
She's like, "I don't want it
to be my problem."
- So did you watch the show with
your dad when it came on?
- No!
- Okay.
- My dad just saw me perform
in December, for the first time.
- Okay.
- And he's obsessed.
- Yeah.
- He's like, "Oh, I get it."
But, you know, when he got it is
when he saw me in the soundcheck
when I was like the tech person,
and saying, "Oh, turn this up,"
and we're plugging in
projectors,
'cause, you know,
drag is quite DIY.
- Right.
- Sometimes.
And he was like,
"Oh, I understand it now."
Which is really, really cool.
I think my family is
it feels like
it's so normal to them.
If I'm like, "Oh, I got a TV
show I picked up."
They're like, "Yeah, yeah.
Of course you did."
- Yeah.
- And I'm like,
"Yes, I love that you have that
confidence in me,
but I'm very shocked,
but also, I love that you
support me so much."
- Yeah, absolutely.
- But this life is normal
to them, which is so cool!
- And I was on Drag Race, remember?
- I remember.
- I was a judge on there.
- I remember when they announced
who the special guest judges
of the season was.
Everybody was like,
"What the hell
is Tom Green doing there?"
- Yeah, they didn't, uh
thought that was kinda weird, or?
- They thought it was weird,
I thought it was awesome!
- Yeah, you won, right?
- I did!
- You won the whole thing.
- I won the whole thing, yes!
And it's wild.
- Is the drag community in
Toronto--
- Oh, yeah.
- a big thing?
That's inclusive and vibrant
and everyone's having fun?
Or is there a competitiveness
and how does that work?
- It's very competitive.
- Mm-hmm.
- Going from television
into drag was wild.
Because I was like, "Oh, this is
entertainment, this is art,
I get to express, I could turn
myself into a brand,
like, I could start shows,
I could build this thing."
When I started drag I was like,
"Oh my God, I finally feel like
I'm a part of something."
So, it's like we're all people
that are just searching
for a very safe space,
to feel loved, you know?
But then, you introduce
competitions,
and then you, you know,
people get bookings
based on how good they are
at entertaining,
then, it inherently becomes
competitive.
- First time you did that,
what was the process of deciding
to do that?
How'd you think of
the idea?
Or you just sort of felt like
you wanted to
And was it as a performance?
Or was it just sort of a
How did that work?
- It was I had a birthday
party
and I had booked a drag queen
to perform at it.
- Mm-hmm.
- And she asked all my friends,
"Hey, who thinks that Mark
should do drag?"
And I, in my head, I'm like
I was hosting kids' television
at the time,
so I was like, "There's no way
that I would ever do this."
Plus I wasn't even interested
in it!
Like, putting on a wig would be
the most embarrassing thing to
ever do.
Are you joking?
And then
when all my friends were
screaming and they were like,
"Oh my God, this makes
so much sense!"
I was like, "Maybe
I'll try this thing."
- Mm-hmm.
- And so the first time I ever
did drag was like a week later.
I got in full drag and did
an open stage.
- I like your music, by the way,
I'm a musician myself, you know?
- Yeah, you are.
- I made rap music
when I was a teenager,
I got nominated for a Juno.
- Yeah, you did!
- It's not about me,
but I just--
- That makes one of us.
- It must be an interesting time
to be doing drag,
doing music, and doing video
with social media.
- Yup!
- Is it like a completely
different thing, right?
I mean, it's is it
- It's hard to not get
infiltrated by
the social media
of it all.
'Cause I wanna just create,
like
At the root of it,
I'm just a nerd that likes to
entertain people.
Like all the videos and stuff,
I come up with all the
treatments
and I edit all the videos
myself.
I'm a nerd, I love it.
- Are you on your social media
a lot?
You read the comments?
Is it a strange environment when
you are doing drag
and then going online now,
with all the craziness going on
in the world?
- I used to love it.
And then, my content
started to reach
it broke through Drag Race fans
and got to normal people.
And the normal people are
not fun.
Whatever's perceived as
normal in this world,
they're not fun.
- Right.
- Like, my people are normal,
y'all are crazy, you know what
I'm saying?
- Yeah.
- And the comments are just--
- So that means you're concerned
that I'm a normal person, then?
That makes me kinda feel--
- Yeah, you're normal.
- Kinda good, actually.
No one's ever called me
normal before.
- Condragulations.
Wow, you did it!
You're white and normal.
(laughing)
- I've honestly never been
called normal before,
this is a--
- It's crazy, yeah.
I mean, when any white man
invites me to a farm, I'm like,
"That's the most normal,
white man thing to do"
- That's pretty cool.
- I'm proud of you.
(soft, melancholy
acoustic music)
(music continues)
(birdsong)
- Charley, come.
(music continues)
- This is so romantic!
You're taking me on a cute date?
- Uh I wasn't exactly
thinking of it like that,
but I mean, just thought it'd
be fun to go canoeing, really.
- Brokeback Mountain.
- Yeah. Kinda, well,
it's more just like, "Let's go
canoeing and check it out."
You're taller when you stand up
there--
- Yeah, switch.
- I like that better.
- 'Cause you need to feel
like a man.
- Yeah.
(laughing)
So you've got a life jacket
under your chair.
- Okay.
- But you don't need to
put that on.
- Nah.
- We won't be out too deep.
- I got a wig on, I'm fine.
- Step in the centre of the boat
because if you don't, then
the whole thing will tip over.
Put your foot right in the c--
- Put my foot in the centre
like this. Gang! Bang!
- You're in, you're in.
You know how to do this. Yeah.
Hop in, just hop in there and
I'm just gonna kinda
(Priyanka panting)
push this out here,
like this, yeah.
Hey, Charley, come on!
You come too.
- What if it tips over?
- Jump up! Jump up!
Jump, jump, jump!
Yes! Good girl.
- Oh, God.
- There we go.
- Oh, my God.
- There we go.
- Why does this feel so
uncertain?
- Uh no, it's fine,
everything's fine.
Nice.
Then, here we're gonna--
- This feels so wobblelicia.
- Yeah, so stay
keep centred, for sure.
- Okay, okay.
But you know, if it tips,
we'll just have fun.
- Exactly.
- I'll take my tits out.
- Yeah, well, you know.
- And they'll be they can
be floating devices.
- It's not
- It's not that kind of show.
- Critical that we do that,
but, I mean--
- Oh my God!
- I'm gonna just turn around,
we're gonna go back and forth
a few times.
Charley is having a nice time.
So, if you grab your paddle
there
- Wee!
- See how grab it like that.
- Like (indistinct).
- Just grab it like that
at the top.
(growling)
- Yeah.
And put your other hand on there
and just paddle
- This way.
- Yeah.
And we'll get some speed
going now. See?
- Ah!
- It's okay, I got it.
- Oh, God.
- There we go.
- Oh, my God!
Wow, look at the fish!
Hey, y'all!
Ah!
- There we go.
- I'm Canadian, everyone!
- Absolutely.
This is what Canadians do.
- Canadians wake up
in the morning,
get in full drag,
and go canoeing.
- Absolutely!
We got a good rhythm going here.
- That's 'cause we're in love.
(laughing)
Sorry, I got distracted.
I got distracted.
- There we go.
So, wait, you are you going
to play Princess Diana?
Or you did that?
- Oh, I just did!
- You just did that.
- I just got back from the UK,
I was in a musical
in the West End
called Diana The Musical.
- Wow.
- Where five drag queens played
Princess Diana,
and we all had these short
blonde wigs on
and we're all just
singing as Diana.
- Oh, that's amazing.
How did the UK audiences
respond to that?
- They actually loved it.
- Yeah.
Was it in London, or?
- It was in London,
we did two weeks in London
and a week in Manchester.
- You're getting pretty good
at this, I think.
- You think so?
- Yeah, I mean,
we're like, moving.
So when you go back to
Toronto
- Uh-huh.
- Are you there for a while?
You do shows regularly in town?
- Right now I'm in my
off season.
- Yeah.
- I'm planning for season 2 of
Drag Brunch Saved My Life.
- Okay.
- Which is crazy to get a
greenlight on a second season.
Hello!
- Congratulations,
that's amazing.
- Thank you. And then, I'm also
working on my album stuff.
- Yeah.
- More music.
Singing, singing, singing.
I work with this vocal coach
who's pulling out
all my childhood trauma
one vocal cord at a time.
I love writing music.
This is great, I feel like
I'm much stronger than I was
yesterday, honestly.
Anyways, you need help?
- Uh, I think I'm okay,
I got it.
- I'm a pro now, so.
- That's good. No,
that was amazing!
That was amazing.
Thank you.
- Thank you for taking me out on
the beautiful Chimichanga Lake.
So romantic.
- Super cool.
- What are you gonna do?
We're gonna touch each other?
- Let's go. Come on this way.
Come with me. Come on.
Come with me.
(bright music)
- So that wait. Is it
Wait. Which one's
the mule? Hello.
- So it's actually
this big one here.
- Big one in the middle.
Oh, wow. Okay.
- Yeah.
- Hey, sweet.
- People think a mule and
a donkey are the same thing.
I did. Two years ago.
- They're not, they're--
See, a mule is half horse,
half donkey.
And they can bite a little bit,
they won't bite, but--
- Bite a little bit?
- Well, like, don't put your--
- I have zero tolerance for
biting.
- Yeah, yeah.
- You know, I've done
there have been some productions
I've worked at where
I had a horse
you know, I was in a scene
with a horse sometimes,
and they I felt that
the animal wranglers were not
taking enough pains
to make sure that we were never
behind the horse.
- Right, yeah.
- And there were
some situations where
the horse would just
kind of rotate,
and I'd be right behind it, and
I was like, "This is not cool."
- Yeah, you gotta be careful
behind them.
- You could get killed.
- They can kick ya in the head
and kill you.
- You're done.
- Yeah. Which is exciting
(laughing): Yeah.
- you know?
When you're riding the mule,
you can tell she's sort of
working with you,
like when you're riding it
through the woods
and there's a you're going
between trees
and you can tell she's kinda
feeling your energy.
"Oh, we're gonna go this way,
now, we're gonna go
this way now."
You're kind of working together
on something.
A mule's more intuitive,
it will actually sense your--
- Has opinions about the
- It'll sense that you don't
know what you're doing
faster than a horse,
so if like--
- It'll override you.
- Yeah, exactly.
When I first started riding
Fanny, for six months, she
you know, "Okay, well, I'm
pulling my reign to the right
and I'm pushing my foot and
she's not listening."
Well, 'cause she also sensed
that I was nervous,
so she's like, "I'm not going to
the woods with this guy.
This guy's a fucking idiot."
Get your shit together
and then we'll yeah.
How beautiful.
- Thanks for coming by,
I just think it's so rad that
you were able
to make it out here.
You're making a movie right now
in the area?
You're directing the movie?
That you wrote?
- Yeah. Yup.
- And you're here for a while?
- I'm here until December.
- That is so great.
- Yeah, it kinda--
- You had a day off
and you came out here
to the farm?
- Yeah, we're prepping,
you know?
- Yeah.
- But we're like it just
happened very fast, that we're
making this movie in Ottawa.
- Yeah.
- It's not in any way set
in Ottawa.
- Yeah, no, for sure.
- But we were never quite sure
where we were gonna make it,
but everything we need is here.
- Is it sort of set in a rural
setting, or?
- Yeah, it's set in like
a small town.
You know, when we were talking
about
driving across the States and
You know, those, like, towns
that are everywhere?
The kind of quaint ones, with
like one main street, you know?
- Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
- It's like that.
We never say the name of
the place so it's
we never identify it
or get specific.
- Hold your hand very flat.
- Oh, Jesus. Wait, this is--
- Or you can just toss it
on the grass over there.
- Yeah, I'm gonna do that.
- Just toss it over there.
- Even if there's a 5% chance of
getting bitten,
it'll probably happen.
- Would be a drag if your hand
got bit off.
- I just don't think I'll do it
the good way.
- Not a good time because you're
directing a movie
and then you come over here
for fun
and you get your hand
bitten off, right?
That's just bad timing all
around.
- But it's got Pamela Anderson.
- Yeah.
- And Steve Coogan.
- That's amazing.
You know Steve Coogan?
- I met Steve last year
for the first time.
- Yeah.
- Have loved him for years.
- And Pamela Anderson, both
comedic superstars, right?
- Luminaries.
- Pamela was in The Naked Gun
now and hilarious.
- Yeah.
- Canadian, as well.
- Canadian icon.
- Did you know her before this?
- No.
- Yeah.
- No, but Pam read the script
and really responded to it,
and um came on board.
You know, she was the first
person to come on.
- And is this the first time
you've directed a movie?
- Yeah.
- That's incredible.
So, it must be kind of
is it, uh
do you get nervous when you're
directing seasoned actors
or is it kind of fun or
I mean, you've been in this
business for so long,
it's probably
You're ready to direct a movie,
obviously, right? Yeah.
- You know, I'm nerv
I want to be good.
- Yeah.
- So, you know
But I don't think I'm that
nervous about directing them
because I wrote it.
And I really know what we're
going toward,
and I know the characters
really well.
- Yeah, yeah.
- We're gonna rehearse in the
next few weeks
and kind of actually
start getting into it.
- Yeah.
- Well, you did it.
How was it for you?
- Don't do what I did.
(laughing)
well, don't make
Freddy Got Fingered.
- Why not?
- Make a much better movie
than that.
- Are you not proud of
Freddy Got Fingered?
- I am now!
- Yeah.
- It took about 20 years to
become sort of
- Oh, it didn't
taste good, like
- Well, you know what,
it's like
I was very proud of it
when we made it
and then, when it came out,
there were some bad reviews,
a few bad reviews.
- And that hurts.
We got a couple good ones too, though.
- Yeah.
- And then that sort of--
- It shoots you down.
- That kinda hurt my feelings
a little bit.
- Yes, I can imagine, yeah.
- But, uh
- It's like a punch in the face.
- A little bit like that.
Yeah.
I am proud of the movie
'cause it's
lots of crazy
shit happened in it.
I mean, we made a crazy thing
happen.
I think it's weird that people
have so much to say
about movies.
- Yeah. It's pretty vicious,
isn't it?
- Who cares, I mean--
- It's pretty fucking vicious.
- This is what I wanted to
do, why are you
what's your problem?
- There's something about
watching someone get
tarred and feathered.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
- It's all very sick.
- Schadenfreude.
- Yeah.
There's also a great German word
called Fremdscham,
like "friend shame."
Cringe.
- Yeah, that's a much more
sophisticated sounding way of
saying cringe.
- Yeah.
- Cringe humour is
a hilarious thing.
- My favourite thing to watch
these days is, like,
I love police body cam footage
of drunk people at the airport
getting arrested.
- It is so crazy how many
similarities we have.
- You love those?
- We've been hanging out today
for a little bit--
- Is that your shit?
- Yeah, I was saying like--
- I love those!
- I talk about it quite a bit
about how my favourite thing
to do is wake up in the morning
and watch Karens getting
arrested and tased.
- And I love the uncut
I love the 40-minute videos.
- The arguing, the lead up
to it
- Yes!
Oh, you know what my favourite
expression right now is?
"I've done nothing wrong."
- Yeah!
- Every single drunk person
says that!
It's like the mantra of
drunk people.
They always say it a million
times at the airport, they go,
"I've done nothing wrong!"
- Yeah, we should start sharing
some of these videos.
- Okay, yeah. I'll send them.
I'll send the good ones.
- You wanna go take a walk
around?
- Yeah, let's take a walk.
Let's do it.
- Yeah, cool. Awesome.
No, that's cool.
(soft music)
(Priyanka): Are you gonna
push me into the pond now?
(Tom): No, no, no.
- The final act of the episode?
- Look at the trout. See?
- Wow!
Hey!
- Toss it right there.
- Oh, my God!
- Yeah, see?
- Jesus! What the--
- They're crazy, right?
- Yeah!
Wow!
- It's a rainbow trout, right?
- Yay! My rainbow, gay trout.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Here you go.
(laughing)
- Mommy's here.
- It's like I didn't make that
connection,
but yeah, it's like they're
- Pride. They're gay fish.
- Yeah.
- That's so beautiful.
- Absolutely.
- An ally.
- I didn't even realize that.
- Here you go.
Wow.
- Oh, yeah.
- Do you
have you named them all?
- No, there's 260 of 'em, so.
- Oh, shit.
- Yeah. They aren't natural to
the pond.
- You just put them in here?
- Put them in, yeah.
- Where'd you buy trout
to put in here?
- A fish hatchery.
Trout farm, you know?
- And then you're gonna put them
in here, then act like--
- They grow, they grow.
Like, big.
- And you're gonna let them grow
and then you're gonna eat them.
- Yeah. There you go, guys!
Eat 'em up! Grow nice and fat!
I don't have the same personal
connection with fish
as I do with mammals
for some reason.
Well, this has been great.
Thank you so much, Priyanka,
this is great.
All right.
(western music)
I have actually done several
drag bits myself,
on the old Tom Green Show.
- Uh-huh.
- I would be in a dress
with a wig,
and I'd run down the street
and I'd spray
my fire extinguisher around
in the air and stuff.
- Why was why?
- Oh, just 'cause I was being
weird!
(laughing)
- 'Cause that's drag!
- What did your fans from YTV
so, they were surprised
when you
grew up and became,
sort of, Priyanka?
- I still am shocked that kids
that used to watch me on
the kids' TV channel grew up
and followed me here, now.
Like, a lot of the
meet-and-greets
that I have at my shows is
that's a lot of the storyline.
"We used to watch you on YTV,
and now we're here
at your concert
and we're so proud of you."
- Do you think Canadians
are more accepting people
of different cultures and
different,
you know, sexual orientation
and drag
and sort of things like that
or is it
is there still, you know,
there's still prejudice here
in Canada, I guess?
- I think it's the same, just
Canadians are quieter about it.
- Uh-huh?
- 'Cause we just make
Americans
see the Americans are crazy,
so they're the loud
mouth pieces
so that it transfers
over here.
- So when you go to a small town
on Drag Brunch Saved My Life,
is that kinda
you go to a restaurant?
- Mm-hmm.
- Tell me about that show.
- So we go to a restaurant
and we're helping the restaurant
just put some pizzazz into
their business.
Maybe they're struggling,
maybe they wanna try Drag Brunch
for the first time,
maybe they just are having
a good time
or maybe they had a drag brunch
that maybe failed,
like, they didn't sell
enough tickets or whatever.
So I get the call and they're
like, "Priyanka, help us."
Whoa! This is incredible.
- Right?
This is significantly bigger
than any space we've tackled
so far.
- Wow.
- I've never seen our space
like this.
- Never, I'm literally
speechless.
- Welcome to Drag Brunch
at the Library Bar
- And then we transform,
you know, the team,
and put everybody in
nice costumes, and pick a theme
and have this big drag brunch
at the end.
But leading up to that
drag brunch,
you get to know the
owners of the restaurant,
and you get to know the
community a little bit more,
and you get to know the local
queens
and that's when you find out
how homophobia takes a place
in those small towns.
- So that's part of the show,
going to small towns
where they're not maybe
as accustomed to seeing drag.
- Yeah, or there's been a drag
brunch there
and we don't know why
we're selling tickets,
then you hear that there's
all kinds of protests and stuff
around, and that's why.
(soft music)
- How are you, Amy?
- Good, Tom. How are you today?
- Really good. Aria's doing
really good.
- Well, I'm glad to hear.
She must be growing.
- Yeah.
You brought Aria back,
she was really big
in the spring.
(Tom): Inside the kitchen,
Amy Himmelman joins me to
talk about Aria's time away.
Her training, her temperament,
the things she learned and
the ways she's changed.
Here comes Aria.
Oh my God, this is exciting.
(Amy): We gave her quite a good
feeding
while she was at the farm
and helped her grow and did
some work with her
while she was
with us.
Hey there, Tom!
- Wow! Holy cow.
This is amazing.
Hello! How are ya?
- How are ya?
- Good to see ya, man.
- She's growing,
you're really gonna notice
the difference in her.
- It's been six months.
- Six months.
- Oh, it's gotta be that. Yes.
- She's bigger.
Is she bigger now?
- Yes, she's growing.
- The other ladies here,
are we keeping them separated
for a while?
- Well, just for an hour.
- Just for an hour. Okay.
- Just for about an hour
and they can just smell
each other over the fence.
- And they're gonna be okay
with her?
- They should be fine with her.
Yes.
- I mean, it is her mom.
- Yeah.
- And will it appear like it's
a mother and a baby reuniting
and will there be sort of
a lot of emotion?
- No.
- No?
- Well, they might talk.
- They might but I
- Is she excited to see her mom
when she comes home
from being away?
- It's not so much her mother,
it's she's a herd animal.
- Yeah.
- And that's what gets the
excitement going.
- Does she recognize
Fanny and Alora and
- I would say so, yes. 100%.
- So she's home, she's been away
for six months,
she comes home, she sees them,
she's like,
"Oh, I remember this place,
I was here for six months,
I know these guys,
that's my mom."
- Yes, they remember.
I fully believe that.
- She knows Alora is her mom?
- Yes.
- And will always know that?
- I think so. Yes.
- Even when they're much more
older and
- I think so.
I'm a believer in it.
- And Alora knows that Aria is
her baby?
- Yes.
Like, she's one of these
tough little girls in here.
- She's tough?
- She's tough.
- Like a wild mustang, oh yeah.
- Really?
- Oh, yeah.
- She's tough.
- How would you say Aria was
as a foal?
She a good foal?
- She was a good foal.
She was pushy, but once
she realized that
we were in control,
she was fine.
- How big is she?
She as big as her mom yet?
- No, no, no.
By the end of the summer,
she might be that height.
When they're about three,
you're going to be riding her.
- Yeah. Two more years then.
- Two more years.
Any other questions?
- No, let's
I can't wait to see her!
- This is your new adventure!
This is your work
cut out for you for the summer.
- Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.
- You're ready for it?
- Yeah, no, I can't believe it.
Aria, well, I see you right
there I love her so much.
Oh, whoa! Look how big you are.
Hi, Aria! Oh my God.
- What do you think?
- Hi! Hello.
Remember this place?
Hi, Aria. Remember me?
- Aw, look at that!
- Welcome home.
We're gonna go see your friends, okay?
Remember this place?
Hello, Mama.
(Amy): I think she knows now
that's her baby coming back.
- Yeah.
(Alora squeals)
Aww.
(soft music)
All worked out!
Everybody's happy.
(Amy): It all worked out.
It usually does.
(Tom): Here they come.
(horses neighing)
(horse breaks wind)
(Tom): Oh, look at that!
(all chuckling)
(man): Wow!
Wow, huh?
(guinea hens clucking)
Oh, that's the guinea hens.
Yeah.
- A what?
- A guinea hen.
- A guinea hen.
- It's kinda like a chicken
and a it's like a bird,
they live here.
They're eating ticks and bugs
and stuff.
- Ticks?
- Yeah, yeah. They're good.
Well, the guinea hens got 'em,
they took care of them.
Don't worry about the ticks,
if you get a bite, just pull it
off, you know, it's no problem.
- That's why celebrities get
Lyme disease.
- Yeah, no, but if you pull it--
- I'm a celebrity,
I don't want Lyme disease.
- Pull it off right away
there's no problem.
Just check yourself
when you go home tonight
or whatever.
Just check for ticks.
- Imagine--
- If you remove it right away,
then you can't get Lyme disease.
If you get a tick and it bites
you, as long as you
and it's imbedded in your flesh, right?
It's sort of burrowing into
your flesh, right?
And then you see it, right away,
then you
like, within 24 hours,
you remove it,
you don't even need to do
an antibiotic. Okay?
When you make your music,
do you make
is the music-- you go into
a studio and you make the music
and the lyrics?
Or does somebody make the
you write the
you write the lyrics?
- Yeah. I write them too.
With people.
- You make the beats too?
You make the music?
- No, but I have very
I wanna learn how
my next goal is to learn
how to play piano,
'cause I wanna learn more about
composition.
But I grew up in a family of
DJs, my dad's a DJ
I remember when he brought home
My Heart Will Go On on vinyl.
He's like, "Oh, Céline Dion has
this new song.
Should we all listen to it?"
So we all sit there
and listen to it.
At the time, I was a child
so I was like,
"Boring!
Another slow song?"
(retching sound)
(laughing)
Now it's, I mean, what
an iconic song.
- Céline's like
is she popular among
the drag community?
- Oh, yeah.
You know, one time
I bought my mom and I tickets
to go see Céline Dion
and she called me on the day
of the concert and said,
"Hey, so I was thinking that you
don't have to go.
I wanna take your dad."
So I got uninvited to this
concert. Okay?
I bought the tickets!
- You invited her, though.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- What's that all about?
- Parents.
- She just took 'em?
- Yeah.
- So you didn't just say,
"what the fuck?"
- Growing up, you don't talk
back to your parents.
- You don't talk to your mom
like that when she's--
- No! Are you joking?
We're not white.
(laughing in the background)
What's the worst thing
you've ever said to your mom?
- Well, I threw a decapitated
cow head in her bed once.
Do you feel a sense of
responsibility to, you know,
you're representing
your community,
do people must look up to you
as a huge inspiration now?
- I am so happy that
I am somebody
that people can look up to
because I cannot believe it.
What a dream.
What a beautiful thing in life
to be able to be fighting and
breaking down barriers
and having your ups and downs,
and having your struggles for
other people to be like,
"You know what? Priyanka did it,
so I could do it too."
- Well, this has been amazing.
We're not done talking,
we're just gonna get out of
the barn now
and we'll go hang
out today.
- I wanna read your tarot cards.
- Oh, that's cool!
All right, let's go.
- Fine.
- Okay. Awesome, awesome.
- I can't stop talking to you.
- Priyanka, everybody!
(cheering and applause)
- Thank you.
- All right!
(soft banjo)
We're playing a little music
Alora ♪
Hello everybody ♪
(banjo twanging)
Aria's never heard music before.
Whoo-hoo-hoo ♪
(He holds a note.)
(continues playing the banjo)
Fanny doesn't like it so much.
(soft music)
(soft guitar music)
(Tom): Earlier in the summer,
Priyanka made her way up to
the top of the skateboard ramp
where Shane was
painting the deck.
Before Tony Hawk arrived.
Before all of this.
How's it going, Shane?
- Great! How are you doing,
Tom?
- This is my friend Priyanka.
- Hey!
Do you think I'm pretty?
- Yes!
- Nice.
- That's crazy.
- Nice guy, he's a nice guy.
- I found love in the country.
- You know, people are nice out
here in the country.
Where you from, Shane?
- I'm from Kingston, Ontario.
Not too far away.
- You do paintings
all over the world. Murals
- Murals everywhere, as far as
Spain and Europe, the States.
Just got back from LA.
- Do you have an idea for
the top?
What were you thinking?
Like, make it look like the sky,
with some clouds, some trees.
- We're up here, we might as
well bring
the beautiful sky in too,
we got the treeline, so throw
some trees up there.
- But don't you think it should
be a photo of me like
- I mean
- If that was centre,
then maybe, you know,
being the focal point.
- So you're ready to just start
right now?
- Yeah, I'm ready to get going.
Yeah.
(Tom): Look, look, look!
Nice.
- Wow!
- Oh, that is nice.
When did you start painting?
- I did my first oil painting
when I was about nine or ten.
I think in my early 20s
I started doing mural work and
travelling around a bit.
When I was younger, also doing
a little bit of that kinda
street art, kinda stuff,
tag stuff.
- Thanks so much, Shane.
- Thank you, Shane!
- Thanks for having me.
(western music)
(fence rattles)
(Mary Jane): Oh, look at this!
Oh, so cute!
This is the little one.
- This is Aria, yeah.
- Aria.
Gosh, she's the size of
her mother.
- She's a baby, yeah.
(Richard): Hey.
(Mary Jane): Hi!
- Careful, don't let her
kick you, though.
Don't let her kick
you in the head.
- Okay.
- No.
It might kick some sense
into us.
- Yeah.
She's big for a year old, huh?
- She is big.
- She's one year old?
- She's very pretty.
- One year, yeah.
- Hi!
Hello!
(chuckling)
All this white clover. I think
Aria is gonna be jealous.
- This is Aria.
- Or I mean, Aaliyah.
- Aaliyah is a dead R&B singer.
(laughing)
- Kia.
- We're having fun.
- She's gonna get bigger
than you, isn't she?
- Yeah, she already is.
- When are you throwing a saddle
on her?
- Two more years.
- Two more years?
- Yeah.
- Three years before they get
saddled?
- Three years, yeah.
I think we need to
weed the garden.
- We?
- Mm-hmm.
- We don't live here.
You got a hoe?
- Are you trying to get me in
trouble by setting me up
for obvious jokes that are gonna
get me in trouble or what?
- No.
- You got a hoe?
Amanda's sitting right there.
(Amanda chuckles)
- Oh, don't be ridiculous!
- Well, I mean, you're obviously
trying to do that.
- Tommy, behave yourself.
- Well, it's not very nice to
Amanda.
What you just did.
Yes, you did, you obviously--
- No, I didn't.
- Oh, come on, you
Pretty excited about
my new tractor.
Or should I say
old tractor?
It's a 1964 International.
Naturally, Priyanka wants to
drive it.
Have you ever driven a tractor
before?
- No, I haven't actually.
- I just got this.
Like, recently.
- Does it require any kind of
special licensing?
- You don't even need a license.
- No way!
- You don't even need a license
to drive it.
Okay, everybody stand back!
It's from 1964, so.
- Is this the first time
you've started it up?
- Uh, I have started it before
but there's an elaborate process
of switches,
and checks and balances.
It's a lot like an aircraft.
- You don't have to mansplain,
I'm a man, remember?
- I wasn't trying to do that,
I was more like
tractorsplaining.
- Right.
- Yeah.
But okay, let's see here.
(engine revving)
(engine purring)
Nice!
Nice.
Pretty cool.
- Oh, God.
And that's how Tom Green died.
(yelling)
- This is kinda fun,
you just gotta--
- Wow!
- Just go like this and we'll
it's a lot of fun.
Just stop it like that.
There we go.
- Exactly.
- There we go.
(engine stops)
There we go.
- It sounds like it's gonna
explode at any time.
- It is going to explode.
- And you were explaining the
whole time
but I didn't hear a thing.
- Well, I'll show you again.
It's in neutral now.
- Right.
It's not automatic.
- Not automatic.
If you wanna shift gears,
you have to stop.
- Uh-huh.
- Put the clutch down.
- Clutch my pearls.
- Clutch your pearls.
And then, shift it
into a higher gear.
But we'll just--
- I won't do that,
I won't do all that.
- Let's just go into first gear,
and we'll just go slow
and it'll be fine.
It's just fun feeling the power
of the diesel engine.
- Fuck yeah.
- Absolutely.
- Ooh, yeah.
That diesel engine.
- Yeah. Okay, hop up there.
- Yes!
- Hop up there.
- I'm ready for this!
(birds cawing)
Whoo!
- Okay, so
see that thing there?
Grab that stick right
there between your legs.
- Why are there so many buttons?
- Move make that go to the
middle. Okay?
- Okay. It's in the middle.
- Now push this down.
- What the
- Push it down, it should start.
(engine starting)
Yeah, there you go.
There you go.
Release that thing on the side.
- This?
(playful music)
- Go up and then go around
the log pile,
and then come up
and stop it right there.
(screaming)
- Oh, yeah. There you go.
Then you point your--
That's great.
- I'm a pro!
- Really good.
This has been a fun day!
- This has been fun!
- You've had fun, right?
- Yeah, I have.
- I had fun too.
Come around here.
- It's so slow!
- Yeah, just turn it more.
Crank it more.
(grunting)
That's good, that's good.
Yup.
There we go.
Ah, yeah. Nice.
- I got the need for speed!
- Yeah.
- I'm coming!
- That's good.
- Don't you worry.
(laughing)
- Maybe just break it
right there.
And now, push the thing
I'll move the
yeah, you can do that.
Do that.
And then move that to the
middle.
Yeah, pull that out.
Yeah!
- Wow! Yeah!
- Awesome, awesome.
- Thank you!
- Very cool.
- Thanks, y'all.
- Very cool, very cool.
- I gotta get my
ah!
- Careful there, careful.
You all right?
- Please, help a lady.
- There you go, there you go.
- Oh, oops.
- There, okay.
Oh, I got you, I got you.
I got you, I got you.
Everything--
- It's crazy when that happens.
- Great day, great day!
- Great day. We did it.
- Thank you.
- Now what?
- Well, I don't know.
Tarot cards.
- Yeah! I'll read your tarot
before I go.
- Okay.
- Do you think I did good?
- It was really cool.
- Would you hire me
to work on the farm?
- Absolutely, yeah. Yup.
- Wow. Great.
That's settled. I can take care
of all your cocks.
- Well, I'll probably
(laughing)
Cut!
(crew laughing)
Hey, Mom?
- Yeah?
- Mom, can you hand me
the mimosas?
You want one too, Mom, or?
- Yeah, Mom, come get lit
with us!
- Yeah. Come get lit.
(moaning)
There you go. Nice.
Cheers!
(all): Cheers.
- Cheers, cheers, cheers.
- Thank you.
- Good times. Great to have you
at the farm.
- Mm-hmm.
- Runaway chicken!
- Oh, my God, like clockwork.
Amazing.
(soft guitar music)
Nice time of the day here.
Magic hour or golden hour,
I guess.
- It's great, man.
Good spot.
- When you're making a movie,
are you involved with the
scheduling of it?
- Yeah, yeah.
- The set designs and all the
- All of it!
- And all the camera work
and everything, I guess, right?
- Yeah and I was saying,
you know,
we're shooting in the
fall here,
so, we're really we're
quite limited with daylight.
- Yeah, yeah.
- So we have to be very
strategic.
- Yes.
- And we basically 23 days
to make this movie anyway,
which is kinda fast.
- Yeah.
- So, we have to move.
And we're shooting on film.
- Yeah. Oh, really?
- We're shooting 35. Yeah.
- Oh, nice. Okay.
- Yeah.
- When you've been making movies
and shows for so long,
do you kind of
is it sometimes frustrating,
you go,
"Oh, you're not doing it
the way I would do it."
And then you--
- You know, you do feel that
as an actor, or at least
some do, I definitely have.
But then I think, "Oh, it'll
be humbling
to be actually doing
the whole thing."
It's kinda easy to be
an armchair quarterback.
- Were you prepared for the,
sort of, explosive success
of Super Bad when that happened?
Was that an exciting time
in your life?
How old were you
when you made that movie?
- I was 18. Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.
18 years old and
all of a sudden you're
- Yeah, and then it was
I mean, honestly
I didn't know it was gonna be
such a big movie, I think.
But when it was about to come
out,
I was getting a feeling that
it was going to be
a really big movie.
There was like a building,
off the 110,
like a full building in downtown
LA with me and Jonah on it.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Like a 20-storey building.
You'd drive down the highway
and see us.
I think I didn't quite realize
somehow
that it was gonna be
that big of release.
- Right, yeah.
- Like, that kind of studio
muscle behind it.
- Yeah.
- But it was great.
I mean, I was definitely proud
to be a part of it,
you know, there was
I remember screening the movie
in Santa Monica
and Bob Odenkirk
was at the screening,
and all I could
focus on was Bob.
- Yeah.
- And I was aware when Bob was
laughing and stuff.
So I was I felt good about
the movie.
- 'Cause you were a huge fan of
Mr. Show?
- Yeah, so every night, every
Friday when I was growing up,
it was The Tom Green Show
and Mr. Show.
Do you remember that block?
It was Mr. Show and The
Tom Green Show, it was like--
- On the Comedy Network.
- Right, on Fridays, on the
Comedy Network, Channel 44.
- I do remember that, yeah.
- Yeah. That was Fridays.
- So you would've been living in
Canada at the time.
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- That was before the show
was on MTV.
- Yeah, no, it was like the
Rogers
it was your Rogers show.
- Yeah.
I remember I had an article in
Macleans--
- Mm-hmm.
- It had both Mr. Show and
in the same article,
and I was like, "Wow,
this is pretty cool."
- Yeah.
- 'Cause you were a huge fan
of comedy, like you went to
SCTV, like Second City?
- Yeah!
- When you were young, right?
When you were in Toronto.
- Mm-hmm, I was like 10
doing the classes.
- 10! Okay.
- Yeah, but I never performed.
- Okay.
- I never got on stage.
- But you went to Second City?
- They had like weekend classes.
- Okay.
- And they were so fun.
And honestly, I have to say,
like watching your stuff when
I was a kid
was kind of really formative
as far as
you know, I kind of feel like
I got clued into
editing and tone through
your work, early work.
Like as a kid, I remember
being really like,
"I like how this is edited."
- Yeah, yeah.
- "I like the flow of it."
- Yeah, yeah.
- And obviously, the thing
you know, the spectacle of what
you're doing
is the thing that
draws you in.
But I remember really admiring,
also, the way that you,
you know, crafted it.
- It was at the early stage
of video cameras
and getting access to
equipment with no real guidance
or formal training.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, no, I mean, it's cool,
well, it's pretty awesome.
You, uh
I'm excited that you're here
in the region doing this movie,
I'm excited to have you here
and
- It's great to see your life
here.
- Good to get to hang out a
little bit, it's pretty awesome.
I was thinking I have to go
check on something.
- Okay.
Uh
- So I'll wait here?
- Yeah, 'cause when you
showed up
I forgot I might have left the
oven on or something like that.
- Okay, well, I'll wait here.
- But you don't mind? I just
I'll be right back.
- All right.
- Is that weird or?
I literally think I left the
oven on.
- No, if you're stressed
about it, yeah.
- Just give me one second.
- Okay, yeah.
- I'll be right back,
just enjoy the sunset.
I'll be right back.
- All right.
Don't wanna burn the
house down.
(Tom): And finally, what would
this show with Priyanka be
without a seance.
Candles.
Quiet at dusk.
Whether we connected with
spirits or not, I'm not sure.
But the moment felt right for
the day.
Thanks, Priyanka.
- Okay, so I'm new to reading
tarot decks
and I thought that
I could practise on you.
- Okay, no, that sounds fun, yeah.
- But apparently
if I mess this up,
I mess up your whole life
or something.
But you have nothing important
coming up? So
- Yeah
- I think we'll be fine.
- Just getting married in
two weeks, but
Have you done this before? Ever?
- Yeah, I do! All the time.
With all my friends, I love it.
And my boyfriend and I do it.
- And you can you're sort of
connecting with some spirits
of some sort?
- Yeah.
- The energy?
- Energy.
- Nice.
- Always energy.
And just guidance.
And if it's real, great.
- Cheers.
- Oh, cheers.
Cheers to guidance and energy.
- Guidance and energy.
(insects chirping)
- Ah, shit.
- That's good shit.
- Okay! Is there a specific
question you wanna ask?
- Good shit.
- Oh, wow oh, no.
It's the justice card.
- Okay.
- Do you wanna hold it?
- Sure.
- I'm gonna get my trusty book
and tell you what it means
'cause I don't know--
- Justice, okay.
The scales of justice.
- If justice represents a person
in your reading,
it could be a Libra.
Amanda, are you a libra?
- No, see? I don't even know.
I didn't know.
- And you're getting married
in two weeks.
- Yeah, so that's a good thing
it says?
- This is great, yeah.
This is great.
- Okay, there you go.
- This person
- Libra, okay. Libra? Okay.
- will be fair-minded,
principled and shrewd.
- There you go.
- And represent
a voice you should heed.
- This is great.
- You found your perfect match.
- There you go. There you go.
- That's so beautiful!
- Love you, baby.
There you go. Isn't that nice?
- I can't even ruin this
marriage if I tried.
- That's amazing.
- It's in the cards.
Do you have a specific question
you wanna ask it?
- That I wanna ask it?
- Yeah, ask anything in the
world.
- Was this a good decision to
have moved here to this farm?
- That's fun!
- Okay, good.
I mean, I think it was now,
but maybe there could be
something I don't know.
- Nine of coins!
Who's this lit lady
on the card?
Yeah, she looks happy.
Look! She's literally
watering plants
and they're growing.
- Oh, yeah.
- I'm investing in creating
a wonderful life
for my future self.
- Yeah!
It's what I just asked about.
- That's fucking crazy, right?
- That is crazy.
- Now you believe in the magic?
- I don't really understand
how that happened.
How did that happen?
- I don't know.
You have a great marriage
about to happen.
- Absolutely.
- And the farm is the best
decision you made for your life.
- Absolutely. Yeah.
- Wanna pull a card for me?
- Yeah, okay.
- Pull a card for me.
This is for me.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Here you go.
- Strength.
- Mm-hm.
Do you wanna read it?
Can you read?
- I can, yeah.
Strength is a much more
subtle concept
than strictly force or
power.
Covering traits such as
compassion,
resilience, courage, wisdom.
Only through hardship and
challenge
that this exercise occurs.
- Mm-hmm!
I want to feel strong and
powerful.
That's real. I do!
- So how did that work?
Explain how that worked
again, exactly.
I picked a card, handed it
to you,
you handed it to me,
it said strength on it.
- Yeah.
- I went to strength and it
describes you.
- Fuck yeah.
- Absolutely.
- That's how you stay more
present; do you feel present?
- I do.
- Good for you.
- Thank you, Priyanka.
(Priyanka gulps)
- Here we go.
(satisfied sigh)
- Thank you for having me.
- Thank you.
- On your beautiful,
beautiful farm.
- Thank you.
- The cards don't lie.
So now do you believe
in tarot?
- I do, it was actually very
accurate. It was very cool.
Thank you very much.
- You're welcome, daddy.
- Thank you, Priyanka.
Yeah. Absolutely.
- Daddy.
- This was a lot of fun.
Congratulations on everything,
excited about your new record.
- Yeah, me too! I'm so excited.
- Well, everybody, give it up
for Priyanka. Everyone.
(cheering and applause)
- Thank you.
- You're awesome.
- Can you give me a ride home?
- Absolutely, yeah.
Absolutely, yeah.
We've got out a tractor,
goes four miles per hours.
(laughing)
(western music)
- Apples.
These are the apples we fed the
horses, I guess, aren't they?
There's a lot of apples on here.
Would make a nice pie.
(eerie music)
(Tom): Deep in the heart of
the forest,
a monster lurks.
It's a creature long whispered
about in legends,
blurry photos and gas station
souvenir mugs.
Sasquatch.
Big foot.
Yeti.
Michael Cera stands frozen, not
from fear but from recognition.
But instead of panicking,
running or calling
animal control,
Michael Cera just squinted,
leaned in and said the exact
words every cryptozoologist
dreams of hearing
- What are you doing?
(creature breathing heavily)
That's great.
(heavy breathing continues)
(mumbling): sasquatch thing.
Should I am I
should I react?
(grunt in the distance)
It's a great costume.
(heavy breathing)
(grunting)
Is it warm?
Do you want a clean shot of him?
(distant grunt)
If I
- Dog give it away?
- No give what away?
- Like it wasn't a real
sasquatch?
Why would a dog be with it?
- I hadn't thought of that.
But now that you mention it,
yeah, that's
I guess that's why
it didn't work.
- Did it scare ya for a second, though?
- When I first noticed there was
something there, I definitely
Yeah, my I kinda
I was like,
"There's something there."
Yeah.
- That's cool.
Yeah, the dog screwed it up.
Anyways.
- No, it was great, it wasn't
screwed up. It was, uh
- Charley!
(apple thuds on the ground)
Let me try one more time, okay?
Just for the show, can you act
kinda scared?
- Yeah, of course.
- Okay, okay.
- I'll, uh
- Charley, you stay, okay?
Okay.
Tell me when you're ready.
- Yeah, any time.
Uh, the apples
oh, my God!
Get out of here!
(Tom breathing heavily)
- Will I try one more?
- Uh, yeah. Yeah.
- Tell me when!
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Now.
What's that?
(heavy breathing)
- I don't know,
something like this, maybe.
- Watch the yeah.
- Oh, the dog. The dog again.
- Shit.
- Charley.
Ah. Yeah, oh, yeah.
- I mean, I thought maybe I
you know.
You know what? I think we got
a lot of good
- It's the first time
I've done it, so
- Really?
- So, it's kinda
- You're gonna do that every
with everyone or?
- It was like the idea, it was
just gonna be a fun little
we're gonna do all sorts of
fun stuff on the show, so
- I think it's really good.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I think it's really
I think you're gonna watch it
back and say,
"I'm glad I did it."
- I wasn't really going to check
on the oven, so
- Well, honestly, when
you said that, it felt fake.
'Cause you said it even a couple
times,
you're like, "It's just
the oven, the oven, the oven."
- Right.
- It was kinda like
"Hey, I don't trust him."
- Right. Yeah.
(laughing)
So, yes. Michael Cera cracked
the case wide open
and figured out it was me
inside the sasquatch costume.
Fine. Good for him. Gold star.
But let's be clear,
just because Michael Cera
caught me,
doesn't mean I'm gonna stop
wandering around the woods
dressed as a majestic
forest cryptid.
I like walking around the woods
in my sasquatch costume.
And frankly,
the woods like it, too.
(soft music)
What I love about this place,
you never know what kind of day
you're gonna get.
Sometimes it's tractors
and seances.
Sometimes, it's quiet talks
under the trees
with Michael Cera.
Sometimes, it's a young horse
coming home,
reminding you
what life is all about.
Thanks for spending the day
with us.
Come back next week,
we'll be here.
There's always something
happening
on the Tom Green Farm.
