We did hit a trouble spot, though, as you guys were talking about in that traffic report route 28 and 66 major accident there. Thats causing major delays in and around that area of the especially along 66 and a lot of those travelers in that area are head to go where were heading right now which is dulles airport.

All right, thank you so much tucker. I certainly do appreciate it. All right. Finding already a tricky job to navigate, right and given the am of time we spend in the office its not surprising that Office Romances are becoming more and more popular. They happen probably since men and women working together in office places. But in the wake of the hash tag me too movement and recent allegations of Sexual Misconduct against ousted pbs anchor tavis smiley the topic of Office Romances and how to navigate them is on everybodys mind who has thought about dating in the office. Is dating in the office, but our next guest says even in this social climate having a healthy consensual relationship in the workplace is possible if you follow certain guidelines and thankfully shes sharing her knowledge. She knows a thing or two about relation welcome demi tra 82 lucas back to the show. Good morning. Good morning. How are you. Good. Merry christmas to you. Thank you. Good to see you. To you. So lets start with tavas smiley hes basically out there hes making the rounds on National Television and hes saying look theres nothing wrong with dating in the and theres nothing wrong with the boss dating a subordinate and theres nothing wrong with somebody dating several people at the same time in the same office. I think theres nothing wrong with dating in the office. If thats the choice that you make and half of americans say they have. Other twothirds say they would according to bolt. Com. I dont agree with tavas however about dating multiple people in the office or dating your subordinates. Right. That can owls lead to trouble. Wouldnt you think . Well obviously if youre a boss youre dating subordinates youre talking about an uneven power dynamic. Right. Crew trying to date someone and you hold their job, their job assignments, their promotions, in your hands. So what you think might be a consensual relationship someone may think i have to do this if i want to keep my job. Thats where the problems comes in. So we thought we would not thats happening. You know what tavas smiley is saying. Lets talk about the rest of us. What you can do if youre looking for love and it happens to be found in the office and number one im going to read off some of the great tips that you said. Know the companys policy on dating dont wanted to stepped up in hr. Exactly. Right. 38 of people do not know their companys policy ignorance of the policy is no reason no i guess justification for violating it. Go talk to your hr. Look at your hr handbook that you got and find out is your company okay with this. Do you need to new jersey your media boss. Whats the Company Policy it varies from place to to place. Do not date the boss. To not date people who report to you. That seems obvious. Obviously. What happens if your company says its okay to date, you know, on that, energy level up level Playing Field you talk about. Still dont recommend it. Dont do it. Its just a bad idea. Because of that power differential which you think maybe a consensual relationship may not be on the back end. Heres where it gets tricky. We talk about the whole hash tag me too movement f somebody says i dont want to go out with you, and you work in the same office, like the person who is asking to go out with somebody, they need to just now stop. Its over and done if you you got chemistry with someone. Im interested i would like to take you out is that okay. If they say new york im not interested its done. You go back to strictly being colleagues. Platonic relationship a professional relationship above everything else. You dont keep badgering them youll be creating a hostile work environment. Youre slipping into harassment at that point. Yes. You sort of talk about this with what tavis smile system saying but dont try to date three and four people. In the office. You cant use the office as your personal dating app. Right. If you find someone that you really like in the office, you can build a relationship with them. But more important than anything you want to be known for the quality of your work, for your great ideas for the execution of your work. You dont want to be known as the office gossip. Exactly. All right. Last but not least, if you are going to date, try to keep it private. Dont bring your drama to the office. You know which is a problem with dating. Multiple people especially. Right right right. You dont bring your drama to the office. Tried to a work and home live or personal live environment and i have to say this because i think in the s said that they had trysts and sexual relations at the office absolutely not. At the office place. At the office place. Its risky. Its fun it look great in movies absolutely not. Right. Dont we see it in movies though. Home office. Not the office office. The old thrown up again the wall its the passion peace. Right. Look, i do want to say 20 of married couples met at work. Yes. It can work out. It absolutely can work out.

This is a bleep epic review. But guess what did he after that, why would you put that on your fridge. Well i also dont think theres any reason just to be that mean. Oh yeah.

Im not all that bright but i can multiply as well as you with oil as much as it was this morning you have a masked another fortune. What if the embargo is lifted and oil were to crash . Id be exposed. I have never been more vulnerable financially than i am right now mr. Getty, with all due respect, nobody has ever been richer than you are at this moment. I have no money to spare. What would it take . What would it take for to you feel secure . More. Would you were you thats deep. No money to spare. All right. Look, thats clip from the new movie all the money in the world it tells the story of j paul getty the kidnapping his family attempt to get him back and ill tie couldnt grandfather who refused to pay his ransom. Even the movie is based on true story its more known for the behind the scenes drama and last minute recasting. Kevin mccarthy got chance to sit down with the stars and joins us now right here right now to talk all about it. I just scared off the audience when i stepped into that shot with the face. I apologize. Whats going on. Good to see you guy. One of thing i find fascinating that headline rreally kind of gay it perfect context this is becoming the right. We did you have this lot this week. Specifically because of the kevin spacey thing ton catch people up in case you have not heard ill keep it brief kevin spacey originally J Paul Getty Christopher plumbers role. They had sexual allegations against him they took him out of the movie and row may have him with christopher plummer. It was ten day reshoot plummer had to shoot 22 scenes spacy had shot then did it from november 20, to november 29. Three or four weeks ago. That scene you just saw was shot three or four week ago. They still made the movie release date they is set. 12 25 is is the release date. Mark wahlberg when they official initially shot this film earlier this year he was 30pound heavier at the start of the shoot. He had moved on. Ready for next role. Right. Boy that point on 11 20 of this year, he was 30 pounds lighter. He had already the 30 pounds he had a full beard for new role. He had to go shoot this new movie. But one of the interesting things about this film now is because this beh story and you can see Mark Wahlberg here this is him clearly 30 pounds heavier. Not that he looks heavy. You can see theres little bit more weight. He look different. On his face. So when i spoke to him, i wanted to talk about the process of that. Getting the continuity wrote but most importantly the message it sends to hollywood. When you replace kevin spacey youre sending a message something will be done about sexual allegations and Sexual Harassment in hollywood and uri placeable. If youre going to do that. I spoke to Mark Wahlberg and michelle whim jumps pow this message in the film and we talk to Mark Wahlberg about the weight element and also putting his thanksgiving plans aside with his family to shoot this reshoot. Watch this. Okay. I i hope its not a hollywood message or hollywood problem. I think that the most important thing that i can say is, people are no longer being quiet, and if you behave badly, someone is going to talk. And its going have dire consequences through the rest of your life. Accountable for your actions. I think, um, you know, its one thing theres movies and stuff and then theres real life, right . Now i dont know exactly what happened. I think everybody, you know, certainly should be able to have their due process. But with this particular movie and what was at stake i think ridley thought, okay, the only way to salvage his film would be to make this kind of executive decision, and he also wanted to honor the other 800 people to work on the film. That was not an easy thing totter but, you know, it was the right thing to do. You work a lot. I interview multiple times a year youre always making a movie im curious what you had to move around to do this . I mean this is a tenday shoot, reshoot. It started from the very beginning. Because i was shooting daddys home two. I got the call late saying ridley wants you to do this thing. You got to make decision right away. I had a whole summer full of plans because i didnt have movie for, you know, union through august. So my wife and i were going to do a lot of things with the kids i had to call you know, this opportunity came up. So that was the first tile then when the additional shooting came up, we had big thanksgiving plans we had family and friends coming from all over. I had another movie that i was starting five days actually three days aft we finished shooting this i had 30 pounds lighter had a beard ready to start rehearsing with pete burg and doing all of our prep and everything else. So all that went away. Then i showed up in atlanta that sunday night started working monday morning on the new movie. You say 30 pounds lighter. Youre one of those actors who you change physically all the time for your roles. Yes. I was curious how you cep the continuity if you were 30 pounds lighter. I couldnt. What did they do . Tighten alter the the suits. Really . Altered all the wardrobe to fit the same way that the other ones fit. I mean ridley came to my hotel room and said were sight shooting next week. So i doesnt time i couldnt go and start putting weight on again because i promised pete for the first time in our this is our fourth movie actually be isnt in shape for the character. They just altered all the suits. High to shave my beer. That was the one thing. Wow. I couldnt. You dont really notice unless youre aware of it. Yeah. If you go back and watch the movie any scenes that im in with gale, im a little more plump than the scenes with j paul getty. So i think we have like a little side by side video of what the shots look like prior to the reshoots then the current reshoots. It is interesting. Oh yeah. You can definitely see it on his face for sure. But again more importantly as we saw at the beginning of the package the importance of this story is getting this out there that this is not going to be tolerated any more in hollywood. Now the film its interesting now you have this story going into the movie. How do you now watch the film. Right. Without thinking about this. As long as kevin spacey is in it i think i think youre in the clear in regards to that. Has this ever hammed before someone has been taken out completely taken out of movie. Great question. And reshot through somebody else. I was thinking about it kind of brought me back to people who pa brandon lee in the crow. They brought in an act to row place him very different circumstances obviously brandon lee was killed onset by a blank gun. Right. And then there was an actor in gladiator ridley scott has done this before an actor died early on in the production they had to redo certain thing but i can think of a time or an actor was removed. Especially the main char character. After complete completion of the movie was done and then done this quickly.
