Lol, just been on!
Seems to me like it HAD to be recorded at the end of last week... same outfits for both of 'em as for the TRL thing! And one or two of the things they said made it sound like they hadn't long been over here.... could be wrong, though.
They were described as hunks as part of the intro, and presenter June asked for affirmation from the studio. The response was positive but not thunderous, lol! JM and DB were laughing. Presenter June said "I'm quite scared coz the boys have said yes." Lol.
They both said they were tired, jetlagged. DB did a lot of the talking at first, saying "I guess it's all catching up to me. It's like, California, Canada, London (plotting his route with his fingers, in the air, lol). So my time zones are all mixed up." James was looking like he was holding sticks at this point, doing some air-drumming over his lap region
And then for some reason DB turned to him and told us about James drinking hot chocolate! JM agreed, and coffee (the man loves his coffee, as we know).
The male presenter said he was still getting used to James talking in an American accent as he hadn't known beforehand that he was American (yawn). Then James jumped in saying he had been tempted to use the (English) accent when in Harrods "last night" (another clue to it being recorded), trying to buy a swimsuit... Whoa, whoa, whoa says DB, time out! "That isn't making
any sense to me!" A swimsuit, In London - incredulous! JM responded, all cute-looking "I wanted to go
swimming." The hotel has a pool? DB asked, all surprised for some reason. "Yeah man, you should have been at that hotel. You've been missing out. You have
no idea..." (obviously a nice hotel, then!). They were basically just talking to each other at this point but the presenters drag it back with a swimsuit reference... which led to a ribald discussion, as the presenters said did he mean trunks (as opposed to as bikini, lol) and JM said oh yeah and was gesticulating as to hwere they came (sorry!) on his legs - mid thigh by the looks.... *gulp* Then DB said trunk meant something else entirely in the US to do with being aroused, LMAO! Presenter June was getting a bit giddy by now "It's getting a bit saucy here!" she declared.
James then launched into good English accent about being given directions in the store and how we should be kinder to poor old USers when doing this. It took him 20 minutes to get out! Lots of applause foer the accent, which was pretty good as it happens, then DB had me rolling when he said "A couple of pints and a good fotball match and
I got a great Irish accent." (lol, must have been where it all went wrong on AtS then! No beer, no footie!)
They showed the clip from AtS S5, where Spike pops out of the amulet. James did his little boy, wide eyed thing - "I'm on T, did you see that?!" DB then talked about the release of S5 DVDs, about how good the season was, how the fans hadn't wanted it to end, but now they'd be able to see it and enjoy it again.
James at this point had one leg on the sofa and one on the table so I was a bit distracted
The male presenter then said "You both famously get jiggy with Sarah Michelle Geller..." Good lord! And had DB had been jealous when his mantle had been passed to James, when he became Buffy's love interest on BtVS. DB described it as a transition. And James told how he had been jealous of David, in actual fact, when he started on the show in S2. He had been watching the ep where Angel goes all Angelus, with Juliet (at her house) and his then girlfriend and he had said how good DB was and that he should take a page from him in how to do it. Juliet had leaned in to whisper something to him and his girlfriend didn't like that apparently - "hyper jealous" is how he described her. "Yeah, maybe you should, man" she'd retorted and had then spent forever talking up how good DB was, and it took James a year to get over that, lol! June was saying "Do you still hate him? Do you still hate him?"
DB said "We work great together." And added that James/Spike coming over to Angel had added such depth to
all the characters, and the storylines just exploded from there. They had such a fun time. He said he wished they had explored more with the stuff with Spike-Angel, because they had such a blast. They mentioned TGIQ, as an example.
Then went into talking about DB's phobias... he said he had many, where did they want to start? Chickens! A guy in a chicken suit crept on and DB jumped over the back of the sofa and chased him off the set, leaving JM on the sofa going "Oh no, he knows kung fu!" When DB tore of the "chicken's" head and peeked round the edge of the set with it, JM had both legs up on the sofa, doubled up with laughing. The presenters declared it was mayhem, and effectively brought the interview to an end.
