Question: So, uh, Jensen, I think you once said that you don't like to be tied up - on set.

Jared: That's right, that's right.

Jensen: That's timing.

Question: Because you feel vulnerable and kind of at other people's mercy -

Jared: Smushy?

Question: Mercy!

Jared: Oh, mercy! I thought you said smushy.

Question: So my question is to both of you, what was the worst or most uncomfortable tied up situation - on set.

Jared: Thank you for clarifying. Because I have some stories.

Jensen: Favorite tied up situations -

Question: Too much information.

Jensen: On set. That's great.

Jared: Uhhh. Uhhh. To be honest, the - in my opinion, the most uncomfortable situation being tied up on set? Were not when we were actually tied up, but it was when we had to pretend for many seasons [Jensen nods] it was like the demon does this [holds out spread hand] and you have to pretend to [imitates being stuck back against wall]. And so I think at first we were just trying to kind of act like, 'How would it feel to be supernaturally pressed against a wall?' And invariably, you know, you film - so for an episode of television, you film it, say, in October and it airs in January. And so you film another one in November, December and you're tied up and then in January, you watch what you did in October and it's like, oh, the [holds up hand again] ghost pushed you against the wall and it airs and you look like this [does much more unflattering impression of being squished to a wall, with exaggeratedly distorted facial expression]. Like twelve chins? So, like, okay, I gotta change that, 'cause this is - I'm gonna vomit. But it was more when there were actual ropes around, it felt alright. it was easy to kinda like get into character and get the timing of the scene and the sequence, but it was more the [finger quotes] invisible -

Jensen: It's also exhausting, too.

Jared: Yeah. [nods]

Jensen: Because when you're doing it yourself and you're pressing yourself up against the wall, and they yell action? You kind of hold your breath and tighten everything, you're like [pained noise] and doing that over and over and over again for, like, minutes at a time? Is not fun. It's like this -

Jared: It's like hyperventilating. [breathes exaggeratedly]

Jensen: Yeah, you're hyperventilating and then you're straining and you're [pained noises] ugh, like I'm gonna pop a blood vessel. And that was not - that was not fun. I will say that, aside from that, which happened quite often on Supernatural? I was kind of tied down or locked down on The Boys a few times that was not fun. The one where the Russians have me in captivity and I'm tied down to like a table, and they're trying to see what can hurt Soldier Boy. And so I've got like - like on Supernatural, we were pretty good friends with the props department. So Robin would tie us up very loosely to where when they yelled cut, we would just, you know [both mime shaking off restraints easily], get out of our ties. And if we've got ties around our ankles or were tied to a chair, like when demon!Dean kind of thing? They yell cut and I would just wiggle and just, you know, [mimes getting out of restraints again] walk away. On The Boys? I wasn't as friendly with them, and - You know, we didn't know each other that well. So they were really, like, locked me in to this table. And there was - they were trying these different items to see how - so one of the items, they put like an AK-47 in my mouth. That - even though I knew it was a fake gun? That didn't feel good. And then to top that, which I don't know how you do, but you can [Jared laughs] - when you have a skill saw and it was running, but they just removed the blade? And it was like [makes saw noise and mimes moving saw towards Jared] and I was like, [Jared shakes his head] 'I don't like it! I don't like it! I don't like it!' And I couldn't move! And so, yeah, that's - you feel pretty vulnerable. [Jared, subvocally: Yeah.] Not nearly as vulnerable as coming out of the cage completely naked in front of an entire new crew and new cast. Welcome to The Boys!

Jared: Welcome to The Boys. Thank you for your question.

[ID text–

Various images of the smiling Pillsbury Doughboy with accompanying text:

Pillsbury Doughboy with arms raised joyfully in the air – "HE IS RISEN! HAPPY EASTER!"

Pillsbury Doughboy with arms raised joyfully in the air, but with his usual puffiness replaced by the mottled appearance of unleavened crackers – "HE IS NOT! HAPPY PASSOVER!"

Pillsbury Doughboy with one arm raised as though signaling – "HE IS OFF LIMITS UNTIL SUNDOWN! HAPPY RAMADAN!"

Pillsbury Doughboy with arms folded across his chest – "HE IS AN OFFERING TO THE ANCESTORS! GOOD WISHES FOR QINGMING!"

End ID.]

All these are references to some belief systems and their connections to food, around the world:

  • The Easter Doughboy's text is a play on the leavening of baked products made by the Pillsbury company, as well as the belief of Christ's resurrection ("He is risen") celebrated at Easter;
  • The Passover Doughboy's text is a reference to the practice of consuming unleavened cracker-like flatbreads (matzah or matzo) at the Jewish festival of Passover, when leavening is forbidden;
  • The Ramadan Doughboy's text is a reference to the fasting month of Ramadan, when Muslims are forbidden from eating anything (including, presumably, a halal Pillsbury Doughboy) from dawn to sunset;
  • The Qingming Doughboy's text is a reference to the practice of offering food to deceased ancestors at the Chinese Qingming festival (including, presumably, an edible Pillsbury Doughboy).

This year (2023) all four of the above religious observances fall within close proximity of each other, in the month of April.
