Misha @ Calgary Expo (2/9): Popcorn, and Cas on a bus

  • Emily:

    So, I know you guys have your questions. So we've got some stationary mics up and around... where are you guys? There. Okay. Hey, and it's the person in the trenchcoat. Cause there's nobody else in trenchcoats in—

  • Misha:

    There's a person with a trenchcoat on my left and a man holding a broom on my right. No, no, not a broom. What is that? I can't quite see, but I know that it's not a baseball bat. It is— is it a broom?

  • Emily:

    Quidditch. From Harry Potter.

  • Misha:

    Aha! From a thing. About people. Yes! Ah. Great. [to HP cosplayer] You're our little witch. Fantastic. [to Castiel cosplayer] Hi.

  • Emily:

    What's your question?

  • Fan #1:

    Okay, so, on your latest episode of Cooking with West, you called marshmallows popcorn. So what do you call popcorn?

  • Misha:

    What do I call popcorn? Marshmallows. Um, my son and I are trying to break into the reality television world, and we've been shooting this sort of documentary series of cooking shows. My son— my son is two, and uh, he's not quite up on the ingredients yet, so he insisted that we put popcorn into the last meal that we cooked. But popcorn was actually marshmallows. And it was a mess. That meal was disgusting. It was disgusting. I had to eat a sautéed watermelon rind with unshelled peanuts. This is what happens when your two-year-old decides what goes into the pan. So there you go. [to HP cosplayer] Hi. Yes, witch. How are you?

  • Fan #2:

    Um, I was wondering, how come an angel that can travel through time and space is riding on a bus?

  • Misha:

    How come a grown man is riding on a broom? I mean, we could sit here all day and, you know, volley these questions back and forth. Um, you know, I have to say... An episode recently ended with Castiel, the angel who is able to travel through time and teleport at will, sitting on a bus. And it was a bit incongruous, I thought. I thought, well, this is, I think, just for dramatic effect. I think they wanted to end the show with a dramatic crane shot showing a bus moving across the landscape. They couldn't figure out how to do that, so they put me on the bus, basically. Sometimes you have to sacrifice story for the visual elements of the show, and that's what happened there. It's something that I can guarantee you, in future episodes the whole bus thing doesn't get paid off at all. It is completely irrelevant.

  • Emily:

    We'll write some fanfiction about it and that will solve the whole issue.

  • Misha:

    Yeah. That would, that would be— that's not a bad idea. Some slash fiction, about Cas and maybe the tailpipe of the bus. Hi.
