  Speaker 3: about acting too, So like, maybe go into that a
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: little bit while you talk. That'd be really good for me,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: talk about what we all prefer.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: All right, let's do another question on their favorite color
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: at the end.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: Okay, okay, great, three things.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I guess four because it's like, what would you do,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: how do you approach acting? What do you prefer? And
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: then your favorite color?
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: And then I think the first one was how did
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: you get that first jump?
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Right, right?
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: So five? Actually yeah, yeah, all right, Bacon, why don't
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: you start?
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: Okay, I obviously prefer music, okay for first And I
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: want to be clear. I feel like you guys are
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: I don't know, we talk genres here. I'm I'm a
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: concert pianist.
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: Really, you're a Disney Channel concert pianist show.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: When I say I'm Disney, people think, oh, I sing
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: and stuff. But Bacon Bits is a concert pianist. No, yeah,
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: And I show water water World is wacky as hell.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: That so it's not water World. It's water water World. Yeah,
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: it's a different thing. It's not like the theme park.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, it's about the staff at a water park
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: and things get pretty crazy. But yeah, so I am
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: in water water World. But like, I'm a concert pianist,
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: like through through and through it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Correct me if you're wrong. That show is kind of
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: like about it and you play the kid who's just
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: a normal kid. But then puts on a wig and
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: becomes a concert pianist secretly.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, so we added that season two.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Oh, and they were like, oh no, it felt like
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: the writers just wrote a water park and there was
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: no twist.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: It felt.
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: And then they added they added this thing.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Where my character secretly throughout season one doesn't say anything,
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: but season two it comes out that I am secretly
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: a concert pianist. So during the day, I'm at the
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: water park and at night it's kind of the best
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: of both worlds.
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: So at night I get this symphony.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: No, it's awesome.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: And I really appreciate Disney and those guys over there
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: for giving me a platform for who I am, because
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: I don't know about you guys, but where I land
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: is I am a musician, but I act during the days,
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: and I but who I am at my core is
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: a pianist. Yeah probably, But I am an actor, I
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: think because it's so rad. I love the opportunities this
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: country has for male actors, and I just.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: That country is great for male actors. It's awesome.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awesome.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: So that's where I land on the on the spectrum
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: of it all and favorite color.
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: Don't freak out pink.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Whoa, that's crazy.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: That's fucking bad, awesome color. Nice job, you guys. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: want to say this right now.
• 11:05

• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and you.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: Don't think about all the little marionette puppet players that
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: are on top of you. Yeah, pulling the strings. Yeah,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: I want you guys to puppets. No, puppets are bad,

  Speaker 5: the one where writing the songs, and I actually wasn't
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: the one doing much.
• 14:23

  Speaker 7: And I think that's acting.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: You're a mass dude. I'll tell you this. We're talking
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: about being puppets this whole time, and I'll say, I'm
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: hanging on.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: By a threat.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: You are Bacon, And why we're all hanging on by
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: threats because we're fucking puppets.

  Speaker 3: Oh listen, I got this.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: Bacon Bits army of women that are gonna come after
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: me any fucking minute now because I finally said to
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: the world that I'm product placement for Bacon behind a piano.
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, my my, my fan group, the DPS is gonna
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: come after me any second, like we better camera to.

  Speaker 6: This day, the camera heads.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: The Bacon women.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: Something. They said.
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: So the men, the male fans of me, call themselves
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: the dp's, but the female fans of me call themselves
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: the camera heads. And it's really hard to acknowledge both
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: groups when you're tweeting.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Why can't the women be DP They.
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: Don't want to beat.

  Speaker 4: They just don't want to be.
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: They all got together and they said, we don't want
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: to be we don't want to be that, and the
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: boys got together. My fans have so many meetings without me,
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: they make so many choices they make.
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: They haven't so I.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Have my men group decided.
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: I'm kind of like a constitutional monarchy where my manager
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: is the king. And then my fans get together and
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: they have like a sort of democratic republic and they
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: vote and they have elected representatives who decide what I wear.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: We're puppets.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: The amount of times I've heard exactly what you said,
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: you hear that, I've heard that so many times in
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: this industry, man, that's the shit that happens out here,
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: the democratic republics and monarchies that are created out of
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: individual music careers.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: It's allow.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: And I think that's the providence of acting, by the way,
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: I think that's what's bringing us here today.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: And I wanted to do this.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: I wanted us to purge this because we can walk
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: out of here leaving the music industry behind, and we
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: can walk out as actors.
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: Because I think there is something good about acting. And
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: I'm curious if you guys have had any positive experiences acting,
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: because I think maybe it could be a new way
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: in where the fans aren't so crazy and we're less
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: puppety and we're just more in touch with our You see,
