3:15 Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles

"What do your kids do that gets on your nerves the most?"

"Our kids get on our nerves? What kind of question is that?" Jensen makes a face.

"Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. Our kids are perfect little angels," Jared agrees.

The two exchange looks, then start laughing.

"Hailee's pretty good now, but she used to go off with Misha... When she came back, she'd be all sorts of hyper and obstinate. Gen was the only person she'd let get a word in," Jared starts.

Jensen nods, "She's a great kid, but she had a rocky start. I'm glad she grew out of that whole thing."

"Well I think what messed her up the most was not having a mom. Once she met Samantha Ferris, she started to even out because Samantha took the mom role in her life. 'Momma Ellen' Hailee called her," Jared explains, "And then Misha is just... Misha."

"What bugs me most about Ross... I guess it's that he's still not completely comfortable here. He and Hailee have bonded pretty well, but I don't think he quite sees us as family yet. Which I understand, I get it. I'm not unhappy with him, it more has me thinking 'What else can I do to make this place feel like home for you," Jensen answers.

"Tom and Shep..." Jared continues, "Well, Shep's starting to explore more, and he's constantly getting into stuff that he shouldn't. He thankfully hasn't gotten hurt from it yet, but he's messed some stuff up, namely getting my scripts out of order."

"That's because you leave them out in the open!" Hailee's voice comes from backstage.

"I wasn't asking you!" Jared calls back, then turns to the audience again, "Tom is really clingy. Which isn't a bad thing, he just gets in the way sometimes when I'm trying to get work done."

"JJ really likes to play dressup. And it doesn't just stop with the outfits. Oh, no. You have to put the makeup on and actually play the role. So sometimes I'll be a fairy princess, sparkles and all," Jensen finishes, earning laughs and cheers.
