Speaker 1: hevery everybody, welcome back. This is Scott Patterson and this
Speaker 1: is the I Am All In podcast I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: What an episode? My god? Was this episode fun? Or what?
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring in Riley now? And we're going to
Speaker 1: do synopsis of Double Date? So twelve, go ahead, Roley.
Speaker 1: This is episode twelve, Double Date Air date, January one. Lane,
Speaker 1: convinced that Dean's friend is the boy for her, convinces
Speaker 1: Rory to double date with her. Laura. Laie reluctantly accepts
Speaker 1: a double blind date with Jackson, Sukie and Jackson's cousin. Rude.
Speaker 1: You asked out? You asked out? I did twice twice,
Speaker 1: and and not denied twice but interrupted twice. What it
Speaker 1: was like asking out? Datus interrupt us, Mrs Mrs Kim
Speaker 1: comes storming in looking for Lane, like throwing a mom
Speaker 1: fit right in the middle of my asking out, Laurel. Right,
Speaker 1: it just it just I just kept getting jammed up. Oh,
Speaker 1: we listen to it? Why don't we listen to that?
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead, you know, maybe sometime we could again
Speaker 1: Eastern playing it again, you know, maybe sometime we could moments.
Speaker 1: Do you remember it? I don't, and I really like
Speaker 1: and I don't like watching myself, but I like watching
Speaker 1: this stuff because it's so underplayed, and I really like it.
Speaker 1: It's it's small, you know, the acting is small, so
Speaker 1: it can be big, and it's just I really liked it. Um.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that and her look when after waitingnute at
Speaker 1: the end he does it again and he's successful. Right
Speaker 1: at the end of it, he's successful. She's wearing that
Speaker 1: she's she has a ponytail, and she's wearing that top,
Speaker 1: that cool looking top that she had on. And yeah,
Speaker 1: that time, it was more like, oh, we'll do it
Speaker 1: again sometimes right right, right right. It was more casual.
Speaker 1: But didn't she look so good when she when she
Speaker 1: looked at me as I was going back behind the counter.
Speaker 1: You mean tall, tall Lorea Lie, tall tall Lorea Lie
Speaker 1: with her big ears, right tall, her size and what
Speaker 1: size shoe do you wear? So we're gonna get into
Speaker 1: all this. We're gonna get into uh uh double date.
Speaker 1: What an episode, guys. This was. This was just a
Speaker 1: laugh riot from beginning to end. It could have been
Speaker 1: called double double date. Yes, could have been all, you know,
Speaker 1: the attack of Lane's mom. I had such higher hopes
Speaker 1: for Lane's date, and then that didn't turn out how
Speaker 1: I hoped it would. Yeah, she tried, She tried, Lane tried.
Speaker 1: It was a valiant effort to try to get some
Speaker 1: kind of intelligence out of this boy. Um, there was
Speaker 1: no intelligence to be had out of this young boy,
Speaker 1: Dean's friend. I guess he's a bro, he's a good
Speaker 1: dude and all that, but man, I tell you he's
Speaker 1: not yet turned into dating material. Yeah, he wasn't the
Speaker 1: he wasn't the word smith. Lane was hoping he's no Dean.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. Watching this episode, I was like,
Speaker 1: Dean is such a babe, like kissing her and doing
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. I was like, if I
Speaker 1: was Rory, I would be all about Dean, which she is.
Speaker 1: But major hot points for in this episode. He was,
Speaker 1: you know, quite adamant that he wanted to chew on
Speaker 1: her face when he wanted to do it. He didn't
Speaker 1: want to listen, he didn't want to do favors. He
Speaker 1: just wanted to mc daddy, mcdaddy, mcdaddy, let's break down,
Speaker 1: Mrs Kim because what do we think of Mrs Kim?
Speaker 1: Is she way too strict? Is she just look looking
Speaker 1: out for her daughter's best interest? Is she just out
Speaker 1: of her mind? Mrs Kim is so strict. But it
Speaker 1: puts Rory in this predicament that we've seen a couple
Speaker 1: of times where she has to lie to do what
Speaker 1: Lane wants, you know, or Lane is always hiding out
Speaker 1: at their house or uh. In this case, even Rory's
Speaker 1: in trouble because she lied, which makes lore Lie upset.
Speaker 1: So it is sort of a situation ship. What was
Speaker 1: the lie? She she lied? Date? Right? We right, she
Speaker 1: couldn't go on a date. It's supposed to be at
Speaker 1: Rory's house, and she's at the movies with the boy
Speaker 1: and she's not supposed to be and and and and
Speaker 1: Rory didn't tell Laura Liae that Lane was going to
Speaker 1: be on the date either yeah, or she didn't tell
Speaker 1: her that Lane wasn't allowed to go. Yeah, because Rory
Speaker 1: told Laura Lee, I'm going We're going to the movies
Speaker 1: with Dean, but didn't fail to or didn't say that, Hey,
Speaker 1: Mrs Kim doesn't know this play right? And then you
Speaker 1: know that puts Laura in a bad spot because now
Speaker 1: Mrs Kim can't trust her going forward. And I don't
Speaker 1: think Laura Lee will lie as a mom to another mom.
Speaker 1: She won't do it. Yeah, she definitely has mom code.
Speaker 1: So I think it's there are challenging elements for Rory
Speaker 1: and Lane because they want to do things and they
Speaker 1: you know, it goes back to even the candy bar.
Speaker 1: Oh that's mine. They've a lion to Mrs Kim since uh,
Speaker 1: episode two or whatever episode that was, But that was
Speaker 1: that when Laura I went to see Mrs Kim. That
Speaker 1: was a powerful scene. It was a beautifully acted scene
Speaker 1: by Emily Corona. Wow. Yes, And it's it could be
Speaker 1: hurtful to Laurel that there's judgment. Even though Laura LA
Speaker 1: has proven herself to be in a really excellent mother,
Speaker 1: Mrs Kim still has judgment, right, she's blaming Laureala for
Speaker 1: that when it's not her faults. And Laura LA shows
Speaker 1: up and now Emily mrs Kim sees her as like,
Speaker 1: you're a screw up and Laura I admits that, yeah,
Speaker 1: I screwed up and I'll never be what the mom? That?
Speaker 1: What did she say? She sails? She said something so
Speaker 1: self deprecated. She goes and very nasty, but she handled
Speaker 1: it beautifully. Mrs Kim said, I hope I don't want
Speaker 1: Lane to turn out like you, And she said, you
Speaker 1: know what, I don't want Lane to turn out like
Speaker 1: me either, And what a what a moment? My god? Um,
Speaker 1: and I don't want and I don't want Rory to
Speaker 1: turn out like me either. Again, Yeah, Mrs Kim has
Speaker 1: the best of intentions, she just has a first way. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, trust is a big deal. I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's a big deal. I think it's also
Speaker 1: a respect thing, at least with you know, mother daughter.
Speaker 1: With my family, it's the same thing. You know. It's
Speaker 1: like if your dad gives you these rules, you follow them.
Speaker 1: And Lane wasn't doing that. So I think Mrs Kim
Speaker 1: saw red when she found out that not only was
Speaker 1: her daughter lying, but she also wasn't obeying her and
Speaker 1: respecting her. Very interesting dynamic and what a powerful actress
Speaker 1: coming into Luke's diner, breaking up my moment, my moment?
Speaker 1: Where is my moment? Here we go? You know, maybe
Speaker 1: sometime we could. I wonder what would have happened had
Speaker 1: Mrs Kim not just like barged into the diner. Would
Speaker 1: you have gotten your kiss you years earlier? No? I
Speaker 1: think she delayed it a little bit, not much. Who
Speaker 1: knows if if things were to go stay on his plans, Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: would have happened probably that year, that season. But yeah,
Speaker 1: life got in the way for four years. We weren't
Speaker 1: ready for it. Wait, what card game was that you
Speaker 1: guys were playing? Five card draw? Is that coker? But
Speaker 1: you let her break the rules but I did. I
Speaker 1: gave her four extra and if you want four cards,
Speaker 1: you have to show your ace. The only way you
Speaker 1: can get four cards is to have an ace. And
Speaker 1: I didn't require that. She showed me right, So I
Speaker 1: was just like, really, just like you, just you just
Speaker 1: really like her? Yeah, I like her scene I did.
Speaker 1: I liked when he pulled when he pulled out the
Speaker 1: deck of cards. I think that was cool because I mean,
Speaker 1: when I grew up playing cards, That's what we do
Speaker 1: on these coasts. We played a lot of cards when
Speaker 1: our kids. We gambled when our kids. It was unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Do we feel that Jackson and Suki are on their
Speaker 1: way now? That was some of the best acted stuff
Speaker 1: I've seen yet. Those two together were magic. That was hysterical,
Speaker 1: and the moment that laurelized just like not she doesn't
Speaker 1: know what's going on. She's just trying to figure out
Speaker 1: why these two are being so awkward and and tentative
Speaker 1: with one another. It was hysterical. Was that a great scene? Oh? Sure, no,
Speaker 1: you can lie to No, thank you? Right? It was
Speaker 1: completely different behavior with their normal and everyone can relate
Speaker 1: because Suki did throw it out there and then they
Speaker 1: never get the day and she doesn't want to be
Speaker 1: the one to say it again. Yeah, but come on,
Speaker 1: he's gotta he's got to grow a pair and and
Speaker 1: call him like, come on, I agree? What the heck
Speaker 1: was that all about? Like she should like be be
Speaker 1: a modern woman and you call him no, you want
Speaker 1: to go out sometime? Yeah? What about Suki's palm hair
Speaker 1: upd favorite? It was so like promsk in her dress,
Speaker 1: she looks I loved, I loved everything about the whole
Speaker 1: double day. How can you not love Melissa McCarthy, I mean,
Speaker 1: what what a performance? What what a just incredibly likable
Speaker 1: actress person, so vulnerable, so sweet, you can't not root
Speaker 1: for her? I mean it's it's impossible. It's humanly impossible
Speaker 1: not to root for her. Um, just just great stuff,
Speaker 1: really great stuff. Um, what else can and there was
Speaker 1: there was no Emily in this at all? Was there?
Speaker 1: I noticed there was no only no clown pillow either.
Speaker 1: It was very It was less stressful an episode, even
Speaker 1: with the Max Parlick stuff and going after Laurela that way.
Speaker 1: It was it just seemed like, you know, Emily's character
Speaker 1: does introduce an element of stress, um, very entertaining where
Speaker 1: he needed um, but the tension really ratchets up when
Speaker 1: she comes on screen. That was missing in this episode.
Speaker 1: There was far less tension um because I think what
Speaker 1: what what Mrs Kim was doing was real and powerful,
Speaker 1: but sort of more comedic, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It was more um, Oh, it was just funnier stuff.
Speaker 1: You know. Maybe sometimes we could Oh my god, did
Speaker 1: you hear the accent so much? You know, maybe some
Speaker 1: time we could sometime you had an accent? What is
Speaker 1: that accent? Gilmore? Yeah, that's the Gilmore. I was trying
Speaker 1: to find the character, you know, in the beginning of
Speaker 1: the series, and uh, you know, sometime you good, it's
Speaker 1: how you're doing. Maybe sometime God, you guys, I would
Speaker 1: so shook when it happened. I think I didn't remember
Speaker 1: from the other five times I've seen this episode, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: like alone, I'm talking to the TV. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Oh he's asked around twice. I mean, I was going
Speaker 1: to the hoop. I don't know if I was going
Speaker 1: to hoop very strong, but I was going to the hoop. Yes,
Speaker 1: I agree with it. I got foul. Mrs Kim fouled
Speaker 1: me and she found I couldn't get to the hope.
Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't strong, but it was real. It was real, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think it was strong. It was like, I mean,
Speaker 1: let's compare the methodology of a Max mctina versus a Luke.
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you guys prefer. Yeah, Max is
Speaker 1: coming in hot, and it's coming too hot, like just
Speaker 1: like he's going to get called for an offensive foul.
Speaker 1: He's coming too strong to the hoop. You know, we
Speaker 1: called that quick out of the shoots, so you never
Speaker 1: want to trust too quick out of the shoots. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: dial it back. Yeah, he came in too hot, and
Speaker 1: that's why it's if you want a girl like Laurela,
Speaker 1: you better be a little crafty about it. You better
Speaker 1: be kind of you know, just subtle, under the radar
Speaker 1: when she least expect it, like boom. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Can I give an off the wall comparison? Different, different,
Speaker 1: but yet the same Carrie and Mr Big because she
Speaker 1: did not come quick out of the shoots. And it's like,
Speaker 1: that's why it worked for all those years. Oh, get yourself.
Speaker 1: I know what it is. I've seen episodes. I like it,
Speaker 1: but I just never watched it from beginning. Then it's
Speaker 1: just that dance. It's that dance that you and Lorela
Speaker 1: are going to do, and it's going to last because
Speaker 1: you're not just like in our face. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: I was on her this quick. I'm trying to close
Speaker 1: that deal started in episode two when she asked if
Speaker 1: you were cute? That was the biggest dead giveaway of anything.
Speaker 1: Do you think Luke is cute? I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1: I got a full bucket of golf balls, have only
Speaker 1: hit a couple of balls. I got a lot of
Speaker 1: balls left. It's a really unfortunate way of putting it.
Speaker 1: I just heard myself say that, really, really, what what
Speaker 1: is a rune. What is a ruin? The name my
Speaker 1: parents gave me, that's what it is. No, No, what
Speaker 1: is it rune? How did they name you Ruin? What
Speaker 1: is it ruin? You see it? Do? At the counter?
Speaker 1: She's like says up about what's a room? What's a rune? God?
Speaker 1: I mean, did she just want to smack him? Or
Speaker 1: what I mean? Did he? He's so deserved it. When
Speaker 1: she wanted to powder her nose, he said to her,
Speaker 1: he under his breath, he looked at her, goes he
Speaker 1: better get a lot of powder. Gonna need a lot
Speaker 1: of powder for that. No, no, he Danielle caught something
Speaker 1: amazing that I did not notice that she can reveal
Speaker 1: to the world. What what is this? When they were
Speaker 1: at dinner, did you see rune beheading the butter and
Speaker 1: then and then in another shot and then another shot.
Speaker 1: The swan was still still had a head. So he
Speaker 1: that was a little against us, as he Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: beheading the swans butter. Swans. Fancy. I had to rewind
Speaker 1: it like five times because it's like he did not
Speaker 1: just do that. Now, what is your gut that he
Speaker 1: was directed to do that? Or he thought of it?
Speaker 1: Because we will ask him. We will ask him. I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna put my money on that's his choice.
Speaker 1: I think he came up with that. If he did,
Speaker 1: he is a genius. Yes, there's, there's and worthy of
Speaker 1: the award he won. He won an Independent Spirit Award

Speaker 1: like Ferris bure Loose, Day Off and Charms. How how
Speaker 1: did you get tell us about the process of getting
Speaker 1: the role of Roon on Gilmore Ruin was put to me. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I was really excited about the professionals and the
Speaker 1: skill sets that they had. Uh Palladino uh uh Lauren
Speaker 1: uh uh ed ed Edward Herman is it Edward Herman?
Speaker 1: I mean amazing casting, amazing production staff, writing staff. They
Speaker 1: had a system that was just locked in and all
Speaker 1: you had to do is basically, in my opinion, to
Speaker 1: show up and be able to make it sing. And
Speaker 1: if you had to have that cadence, you know, with
Speaker 1: their with the material was just if you understood any
Speaker 1: kind of any kind of tone, if you had any
Speaker 1: kind of musical inclinations, you did well with with their
Speaker 1: writing because it was really just about the tempo. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it felt it felt like an Iambic almost, you know,
Speaker 1: there was there definitely was a rhythm to it. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: um yeah, you know, and you know I've been on
Speaker 1: you know, I did a sign Feld that I was
Speaker 1: very organized and buttoned down. I did All and Will
Speaker 1: and Grace. I did some other stuff before I got
Speaker 1: Gilmore and it was all really smooth, sailing, great cruise.
Speaker 1: Did Gilmore more of the same. But then after after
Speaker 1: I did Gilmore, I did a couple of series and
Speaker 1: it was just kind of a mess, you know. It
Speaker 1: was I really missed that whole Gilmore crew and how
Speaker 1: how cracked they were, you know, and how they really
Speaker 1: had it or it was kubricky and you know, it's
Speaker 1: like Stanley Kubrick was known for his organization and that
Speaker 1: that's what you need to bring to bear on a
Speaker 1: on a TV set. So tell us a little bit
Speaker 1: about your first day on set. What you can remember
Speaker 1: being a first day on set. I remember being nervous
Speaker 1: um because I felt, you know, it was high bar two.
Speaker 1: I was always just nervous because there was a lot
Speaker 1: of people, uh that You're always used to seeing the
Speaker 1: positions of the the different guys crew, but when it
Speaker 1: comes to being in touch with the material, I always
Speaker 1: just felt like I needed to really be it focused
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to to just watch as much
Speaker 1: as possible and absorb their process, the workings for the
Speaker 1: cast and how you guys were working to just kind
Speaker 1: of tap into that so that I could do my
Speaker 1: my due diligence. And I was just trying to mesh
Speaker 1: with you know, get a get a good feel, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's always it's like you're the new kid in
Speaker 1: school because you're you know, your guests are you know
Speaker 1: that feeling that you kind of I built my resume
Speaker 1: in the nineties on guest starring on big sitcoms, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's nerve wracking, really nerve wracking. I did a Einfeld
Speaker 1: and that was really nerve wracking, because that's like getting
Speaker 1: called up to the big leagues and you don't know
Speaker 1: if you're ready or not, you know, but I get it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just know that I aspire to be with it
Speaker 1: and be in, you know, for the greater good and
Speaker 1: be able to to tap into what the writer has
Speaker 1: put down and at the very least expects the cadiens
Speaker 1: to be there. And you you hope, and you wish
Speaker 1: you can hire the right athletes to go to that
Speaker 1: for you. And and I just felt really lucky, and
Speaker 1: I felt like I was in good a really good company,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to I wanted to do well, that's
Speaker 1: kind of what I remember. Well, you hit it out
Speaker 1: of the park, pal, what a great episode. Hysterically funny.
Speaker 1: I mean, just you know, being so contentious with with
Speaker 1: Laurel I and he's calling her an East German basketball
Speaker 1: player and she's too tall, and I mean that was hysterical,
Speaker 1: absolutely hysterical, to be fair. I mean, Room, you know,
Speaker 1: really had great aspirations of becoming a you know, a
Speaker 1: top rate cort of culturist and caret grower, and he, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't tell Jackson about his aspirations, but
Speaker 1: he was going to take over Jackson's business. And you know,
Speaker 1: if they would have let him go, Jackson would have
Speaker 1: been out on his heels, and you know, ruined had
Speaker 1: taken over his identity. So that's so let me ask
Speaker 1: you this. Uh, A lot of people on this staff
Speaker 1: want to know. His producers want to know. Was it
Speaker 1: your idea to cut the heads off the butter Swans? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I knew, I knew it. I was right. I won
Speaker 1: the bet, I won the I didn't know whether I
Speaker 1: get captured. But then I remember the deep going, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we gotta go around and get a single the the
Speaker 1: the butt because I was just like, what can I do?
Speaker 1: Because I'm just saying over here, what what kind of
Speaker 1: business can I? You know, they do back? You know,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think about the editor, you know, true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the things actors have to think
Speaker 1: about as the editor by accident. I guess it was
Speaker 1: by accident, but I just kind of was looked it
Speaker 1: up so I could watch the episode before I got
Speaker 1: a link. And somebody who's a reviewer or like a fan,
Speaker 1: a really big fan of your of the show, was
Speaker 1: reviewing the episode and when my scene came on, when
Speaker 1: he saw me, he's like, who's that guy think he is?
Speaker 1: That guy is a little prick? Is he? What a
Speaker 1: lame punk? Really? Really know? Is that what you think?
Speaker 1: And he was just like and then it was hilarious.
Speaker 1: It was really good. That's very colorful language from from
Speaker 1: I Take my Head Off America. There you go? And
Speaker 1: what was it like working with Lauren Graham? Did you
Speaker 1: did you? Did you enjoy that? Professional h just amazing
Speaker 1: girl had a lot of weight on her shoulders and
Speaker 1: she just handled it like class acts, smooth, smooth the operator,
Speaker 1: really a nice, well mannered, down to earth What more
Speaker 1: can you want? You know? She just she made it
Speaker 1: releasy on me, as did everyone else there. And all
Speaker 1: I had to do with my eyes would show up
Speaker 1: into a part of this great happening right right? Did
Speaker 1: you know that? Did you know that you were going
Speaker 1: to do more episodes or what they just book you
Speaker 1: one at a time, as I remember, I think they
Speaker 1: were one at a time, right, I just remember I
Speaker 1: had Ted Demi passed away on the last episode I
Speaker 1: was doing. It, just passed them at the basketball playing
Speaker 1: basketball down in Venice, runt of mine and we had
Speaker 1: we were we had a working relationship in them and uh,
Speaker 1: I was really tore up about it and I couldn't
Speaker 1: get finished this episode, this last episode I was doing,
Speaker 1: which was a holiday episode. I did my best, you know,
Speaker 1: I struggled through it. But they were really kind to me.
Speaker 1: Everyone was so sweet. But I just, yeah, I remember
Speaker 1: that was something that was going on for the audience.
Speaker 1: Ted Demi was the director of Blow, the film you
Speaker 1: did with Johnny Depp. Did he write the Did he
Speaker 1: write the film as well? No? Jed wrote he did
Speaker 1: script rewrites, but he uh didn't. He didn't write the
Speaker 1: original screen. Okay, him and he and uh Bruce Porter
Speaker 1: and it was Nick Cassavetti's John, right, I know, And
Speaker 1: Nick wrote the Nick wrote that yeah it Ted was
Speaker 1: was contributing to it. Oh my goodness. Okay. Nick Cassavetti's
Speaker 1: is the son of John Cassavetti is the great actor
Speaker 1: and great independent director. I think it was it was him.
Speaker 1: Bruce Porter wrote the the book, the novel, but I'm
Speaker 1: not positive that Nick Nick could have done the other front.
Speaker 1: We also did a phone called Beautiful Girls together. Ted
Speaker 1: was a great director. He did uh Life, He did
Speaker 1: the ref Dennis Leary was one of his great friends.
Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, I had a great great I love
Speaker 1: Ted with all my heart and I miss him dearly.
Speaker 1: He was a great great was a big loss. I
Speaker 1: remember that was very shocking, and he was very young.
Speaker 1: Ted Ted just had you know, he started your MTV raps.
Speaker 1: That was his first gig and he was the producer
Speaker 1: that and uh he had just all three was Johnny
Speaker 1: and I and Ted had had our second kids at
Speaker 1: the time, and it was his kid was like three

Speaker 1: said I apologize, No, no need to apologize. Totally understand.
Speaker 1: So let's get back to Ruin a little bit. Okay,
Speaker 1: what is seriously like they? You know, I know, Laurel,
Speaker 1: I asked you in the episode what is a ruin?
Speaker 1: But I would like to know what is it? Do
Speaker 1: you know what a ruin is? No? Do you do?
Speaker 1: You know what a ruin? I mean I had my
Speaker 1: own kind of idea. Well, there was a game when
Speaker 1: I was a kid that you played ruins. There's a game.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a game, but they're based
Speaker 1: on um, you know, ruins were sort of headpieces, right,
Speaker 1: is like a Dungeons and Dragon's type of a deal.
Speaker 1: Ruin like ruin like a like a tale, like a
Speaker 1: like an old like a scary uh like uh remember
Speaker 1: it of some place? Yeah, I don't know. They were
Speaker 1: like I don't know that. They were like these uh
Speaker 1: made out of stone and they were wrecked angular and
Speaker 1: there were runs and they had symbols on them. You
Speaker 1: sort of can tell that you throw the ruins in
Speaker 1: a certain pattern, you tell the future or something like that.
Speaker 1: Or they're like teri cards like dice kind of yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're big, Yeah, they're anyway. So maybe that as
Speaker 1: it was like the magic eight ball type of a
Speaker 1: Dane right right, Like you threw it down like dice,
Speaker 1: you never know what you're gonna get. Maybe that was
Speaker 1: the point. Maybe that's why you were named Rune. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's brilliantly. I think you did it. I
Speaker 1: think that's he's counted chat. Oh my goodness. So you
Speaker 1: didn't your character didn't like Laurela at all? Was it?
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, was it? Was it difficult in
Speaker 1: those scenes keeping a straight face doing those in those
Speaker 1: lines or did you really believe it when you were
Speaker 1: saying that stuff? Well, I mean, it's all part of
Speaker 1: the package, buddy, you know, I got to bring something
Speaker 1: to the game there. You know, I had to have
Speaker 1: something intense, you know, a whole kind of uh good.
Speaker 1: But I had to do the the rude mumbo to
Speaker 1: be able to to I had to really believe all
Speaker 1: of that. I had to bring it, buddy. You know,
Speaker 1: it's easy. I don't get up like you know. It
Speaker 1: ain't easy like this getting up like this. You know,
Speaker 1: you you you think this is just it comes out
Speaker 1: of the package like this, But no, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of thought that goes into these uh these rooms here.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean it looks easy. But to be
Speaker 1: able to do these brutal things with the butter, you know,
Speaker 1: that's a lot of guts, a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of normal people would do would be a clue. It
Speaker 1: would be a clue on them. You know what the
Speaker 1: clue is the two Chois. It's like a Kiki's It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you get coist with something cursed, you get cursed.
Speaker 1: Oh Coist got even speaking like one of the three stooges.
Speaker 1: Don't get Choist all right? Um um so really so
Speaker 1: it was it was it was just you really felt
Speaker 1: that you didn't have to fight laughing, There was no
Speaker 1: It was just that was you really possessed that character
Speaker 1: and you really hate because you really committed to that.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a good piece of acting because you
Speaker 1: really I really believe that you disliked her. Well I didn't,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean she didn't do you know what.
Speaker 1: She's not making me the supermunts of ball super give
Speaker 1: me a pillow or to lay my head on. I mean,
Speaker 1: what kind of services she I really just wanted to
Speaker 1: get get Jackson alone to be able rude wanted to
Speaker 1: get him alone, to be able to get his secrets
Speaker 1: about carrots, you know, really about a lot of other vegetables. Uh.
Speaker 1: And and I think Brad Jackson has known back home

Speaker 1: You're still sending my checks. They have like eyes on
Speaker 1: their money over there. Well, I mean you laugh, but
Speaker 1: I mean they're picturing that. You know, I needed to
Speaker 1: come and have lunch with me before I passed away
Speaker 1: up at the Mount SINAI. We have to have a
Speaker 1: lunch of that. Why why are we gonna have lunch?
Speaker 1: So I already pictured that. She already pictured it. That
Speaker 1: we haven't lunched. U. She was mad that I didn't
Speaker 1: want to go. I was scared of it. Why before
Speaker 1: she passed away? I love every good about any of
Speaker 1: us comes from totally agree. Yeah, it is true, very
Speaker 1: very true. Um yeah, I lost my mom and oh
Speaker 1: eight and the last I spent the last week of
Speaker 1: her life with her, slept in the room with her.
Speaker 1: Um it was quite something. It was the most magical
Speaker 1: seven days of my life. UM. I mean the love
Speaker 1: that was coming out of her, and I mean it
Speaker 1: was just amazing the way she just hung in there
Speaker 1: for her kids, you know, wanting to just soak up
Speaker 1: everything that was, you know, the last bits of love
Speaker 1: and joy that was she was going to experience. Um
Speaker 1: so I was, Yeah, I feel for you, buddy, sorry
Speaker 1: for your loss. Man likewise, yeah, um so you basically
Speaker 1: your character roun. You pretty much roasted Laura in the
Speaker 1: entire episode. What you what I mean? I think we're
Speaker 1: already know how you, um I feel about her. You've
Speaker 1: stated this, um but here's some of your greatest lines.
Speaker 1: She's like a basketball player. Ok uh. What was the
Speaker 1: bearded lady busy tonight or something? And then you stood
Speaker 1: up and said, Okay, I'm getting really bored. First I
Speaker 1: get stuck with her, and let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. We did did Brenda? Did
Speaker 1: Brenda Mayban in the wardrobe department tell you to wear
Speaker 1: your hat the entire time? Your hat and coat the
Speaker 1: entire time? Because it kind of was I'm a bald Jew.
Speaker 1: What do you want for me? I want an answer.
Speaker 1: I want an answer. I want an answer. If if
Speaker 1: Brenda told you to wear the hat to the whole time,
Speaker 1: was that your I wish I could give you the
Speaker 1: true answer for that, the real answer aside from what
Speaker 1: I just said. But but I mean, it's completely appropriate
Speaker 1: because you were not settling in by the way you
Speaker 1: have a very attractive head. You do, yeah, Billy. So
Speaker 1: let's see. Uh all right, we're gonna do a little
Speaker 1: section now called rapid Fire. You ready, I'm gonna throw
Speaker 1: some questions at you? All right? How do you take
Speaker 1: your coffee? Creamy sugar? Can you smell snow? No? Best
Speaker 1: memory of Gilmore Girls I love when I couldn't hack.
Speaker 1: I was struggling with Ted's death and I didn't want to.
Speaker 1: I wanted so much to do good and but I
Speaker 1: and they were so professional and so kind, these girls
Speaker 1: who lead, who ran the show, and they had they go,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're chicks, we get you done. We'll
Speaker 1: handle it, don't sweat it. And they were so graceful
Speaker 1: about letting me down off of my you know, where
Speaker 1: I had built my stress up to and I was struggling,
Speaker 1: and it was so kind and so graceful that I
Speaker 1: just was felt well handled and just less to have
Speaker 1: been able to work amongst you know you guys. That's
Speaker 1: my favorite moment because I could say all kinds of wishy, washy,
Speaker 1: you know, made up stuff, but it wouldn't be meaningful
Speaker 1: to you and would be true. The cast member that
Speaker 1: you've texted most recently from Guilt from Gilmore from Gilmore
Speaker 1: And if you haven't, that's okay, No I haven't. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say it's his actor, Alissandro Devot de Vola. Oh, sure,
Speaker 1: he's terrific. So I've got you here, And as long
Speaker 1: as I have you here, I want to ask you
Speaker 1: one non Gilmore related question. I think Johnny Depp is.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's considered an underrated actor. I
Speaker 1: think he's getting his accolades as as a craftsman, as
Speaker 1: an actor. But what was it like working with him
Speaker 1: on Blow? Because those those those scenes were electric, they
Speaker 1: really were. We started off together. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know this, but Ted had me bring him the
Speaker 1: script because he couldn't get at him through the channels,
Speaker 1: and so I went up to his house and uh,
Speaker 1: and it was incredibly inappropriate thing for me to do.
Speaker 1: I put it off for months. For a couple of months.
Speaker 1: We weren't going to get the budget. If we could
Speaker 1: get him through Bob, Bob Shay and Bob what's his name?
Speaker 1: You know, the Italians, the guy that got bounced, you know,
Speaker 1: the guy what was his name? Mike de Luca? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got it. They were all. They were all and
Speaker 1: you know, uh Kerry, Uh Jerry, Uh Cherry. What the
Speaker 1: heck was this guy's name. I'm sorry this is so
Speaker 1: long though, But in any case, I know you're talking
Speaker 1: about is another independent financer, producer Carry. His name is
Speaker 1: carry Um carry Woods. So carry Woods was in on
Speaker 1: Beautiful Girls this picture we did so in any case,
Speaker 1: the wine scenes did that one, so we they there
Speaker 1: was a lot of pressure. I would just I grew up.
Speaker 1: I became really good friends with an actor to Matt Dylan,
Speaker 1: and Matt was the best man at my wedding. God
Speaker 1: bless him. He's been a good friend. We both collect
Speaker 1: seventy eight in Latin. We're both you know, really into jazz.
Speaker 1: And so I went up to Johnny with the script
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm like, hey man, you know I told
Speaker 1: Ted for months, I can't do this. Is like, you know,
Speaker 1: I started off my career with Johnny. We did an
Speaker 1: a five short film together in eighty five which nobody
Speaker 1: knows about, and it was how you got your tape
Speaker 1: on yourself when you want to get in industry and
Speaker 1: you didn't have an agent. They had an agent. They
Speaker 1: were with her Tobias and associates. It was like everybody
Speaker 1: and their mother was at disguise place. And he was
Speaker 1: a throwback, this old agent, this old man. He was like, God,
Speaker 1: you have been like seventies up. Man. He brought me
Speaker 1: in this office. He goes, hey, what do you want
Speaker 1: a scotch kid? I said, I'm fifteen, sir. He goes,
Speaker 1: all right, well, welcome to the shop. You know this
Speaker 1: old man, he was great, old man. Heart Tooby. It
Speaker 1: was Johnny Depp, Jason get Trick, little known name from
Speaker 1: back in. It was Johnny Geen, Amelia Stufs, Sean Pat,
Speaker 1: Chris penn Uh, Johnny Sherrilyn Fan. So that's how we met.
Speaker 1: We went to an audition at this woman's house. It
Speaker 1: was Johnny Sherlyn and myself and we got into it.
Speaker 1: Johnny and I got into like a physical improv same
Speaker 1: by accident with these characters, and we fell and Johnny
Speaker 1: had this arrowhead medallion and it went and hit him
Speaker 1: in his eyes. So all through the film he's got
Speaker 1: a black eye in the shape of an arrowhead under
Speaker 1: his eye. When we when we were ut, we wrestled,
Speaker 1: but we have this VHS tape and I'm sure he
Speaker 1: probably liked either had it all like take it. I
Speaker 1: don't know how you could get that like from a
Speaker 1: F five, but I haven't seen it since then, but
Speaker 1: it was like it was really like the night before
Speaker 1: the night before we filmed. On the first day at
Speaker 1: my house, I was supposed to tell my dad that
Speaker 1: we were gonna film there in my room and they
Speaker 1: were having copy and I go the crews here and
Speaker 1: they had their kids are bringing out of these lines.
Speaker 1: Why are like long long power chords and stuff for lights?
Speaker 1: And my dad just left without saying. He was so bissed,
Speaker 1: and he called me. He's like when we come back now, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. He's like, wow, you really
Speaker 1: pissed me off, Max. And I'm like, okay, well you
Speaker 1: wanted me to do so you said I had to
Speaker 1: drop out. I had to do something, trying to do something.
Speaker 1: He said, you're not gonna get it done this way.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be a professional unless you study under
Speaker 1: masters from years old. And I said, I never said
Speaker 1: I wanted to be an actor. I said I I
Speaker 1: want to try to do something, you know, and you
Speaker 1: know you're struggling with your dad. And I've never been
Speaker 1: really beaten by my father. Maybe I should have been
Speaker 1: that was you know probably no, no, no, you didn't
Speaker 1: miss out on anything, trust me. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I worked at a punk rock club. I would speak
Speaker 1: out at fourteen years old and I worked at this
Speaker 1: punk rock club in Hollywood. I was watching, like inadvertently
Speaker 1: that the whole music scene, like the genre being created
Speaker 1: with punk and rock and roll, rockabilly and country western
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. And it was all these great
Speaker 1: passionate musicians, but it was this tight knit scene people
Speaker 1: that just wanted to go jam. Hour after I sold,
Speaker 1: like eight in the morning, you wound up and they
Speaker 1: were iconic uh road road road signs on this you
Speaker 1: know highway of uh you know, of of mystery and
Speaker 1: desire that I grew up in the eighties and you
Speaker 1: know Hollywood, you know, being a fly on the wall.
Speaker 1: And I was too young to be at these over
Speaker 1: twenty one clubs and you just couldn't get rid of
Speaker 1: because the cops didn't mind me, so I could get
Speaker 1: arrested in I worked at over twenty one club. I
Speaker 1: was a DJ and all the nightclubs in l A
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, and so I got it
Speaker 1: so you gave You gave the script to Johnny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how you give and he and he read the script
Speaker 1: and he liked it, and he saw the twenty million
Speaker 1: dollar offer attached to it, and Jed said, tell him,
Speaker 1: there's twenty million dollars attached to this and give up
Speaker 1: the script. And you're the first. You know your cast
Speaker 1: Max already, but just do this for us. And I
Speaker 1: really felt uncomfortable doing it. And yeah, but you gotta
Speaker 1: do you gotta bring people together. Uh, you don't know
Speaker 1: that you're supposed to do stuff like that. That's a
Speaker 1: really tough thing, taking twenty million dollars to your friend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you never asked for anything. You don't what you
Speaker 1: gonna do it? Awkward situation. I think you were asking
Speaker 1: for anything. I think you were giving him something, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? No, but I hear you. It's
Speaker 1: it's a tough favor to ask. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, he was a guy for the for he
Speaker 1: made it happen, and so everybody, you know, did their part.
Speaker 1: It was a good film. It was a fun film
Speaker 1: to watch. It was a really good editing of the
Speaker 1: film with Ted and we were buddies. Tight You know,
Speaker 1: I'd like, I think you really you know, we you

Speaker 1: very interesting uh journey back in time. And uh, I
Speaker 1: hope it didn't tax you emotionally too much. But I
Speaker 1: think I think everybody can see and hear that Max
Speaker 1: Perlock is the real deal. This is what an actor is.
Speaker 1: A committed UM actor who feels everything that he does
Speaker 1: or he can't do it, and that's the soul of
Speaker 1: what we do UM. And some people are just a
Speaker 1: little more committed to their craft than others. And it's
Speaker 1: pretty clear that you're one of those uh, very very
Speaker 1: committed artists who um, you know, creates from the very
Speaker 1: uh depths of his soul. And we appreciate it because
Speaker 1: you gave a very very memorable performance and I had
Speaker 1: a lot of fun with and guess what, the audience

Speaker 1: the Truth of Gilmore Girls. So bravo, thank you, buddy. Hey, alright,
Speaker 1: much love to you man, giving you a big hug. Okay, alight. Wow. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's an actor for you right there. That's an actor
Speaker 1: living it. You know, people, people don't understand sometimes what
Speaker 1: it takes to do this job. I'm Riley, and this
Speaker 1: is your pop culture. First, we have Rory Yoga oh
Speaker 1: no really, Lane, a very misunderstood artist and the Beatles
Speaker 1: would have broken up anyway. Yoko Ono was married to
Speaker 1: the Beatles John Lennon. Together they had a son named
Speaker 1: Sean Lennon and Yoko Ono means one child in Japanese.
Speaker 1: She had a guest appearance on the TV show Matt
Speaker 1: About You called Yoko Said, and the Bear Naked Ladies
Speaker 1: wrote a song called be My Yoko Ono. Yeah. You know.
Speaker 1: The Beatles were uh at odds at that time, but
Speaker 1: John and Paul basically hated each other um and they
Speaker 1: didn't want to be in the same room. And George,
Speaker 1: George was trying to get out of the band. He
Speaker 1: was sick of all the arguing, and he was sick
Speaker 1: of getting his great songs rejected. His great songs were
Speaker 1: not getting on the albums. It probably wasn't yoos. It
Speaker 1: probably wasn't Yoko's fault, because George wanted out a couple
Speaker 1: of times, and I think he even delivered uh to
Speaker 1: who was it at their manager, like I'm leaving the band.
Speaker 1: I can't stand this. I'm gonna go make my own
Speaker 1: album because I like they Paul rejected um while my
Speaker 1: guitar gently weeps. If you can believe that, I do
Speaker 1: think there's a chance, though, you'll go. And John could
Speaker 1: have been having dinner and he's like, should I stay?
Speaker 1: And she's like, nah, go. That could have happened, but
Speaker 1: it's I just think those guys were together for so long,
Speaker 1: since the time they were sixteen years old. They went
Speaker 1: to Germany together and they were in Hamburg and they
Speaker 1: were eight seventeen, eighteen and nineteen. I think John might
Speaker 1: have been twenty at that time. John was the oldest,
Speaker 1: but I mean George was seventeen, I think maybe eighteen,
Speaker 1: but seventeen years old, and he wanted out. He wanted out,
Speaker 1: he wanted out. So I don't think Yoko had a
Speaker 1: lot to do with it. Rory says, okay, I must
Speaker 1: listen to anyone named Claudine La j Claudine is a singer, actress, dancer,
Speaker 1: and recording artists popular during the nineteen sixties and nineteen seventies.
Speaker 1: She was married two times. She actually shot and killed
Speaker 1: her boyfriend and Olympic skier and only spent thirty days
Speaker 1: in jail for it. And one of our marriages was
Speaker 1: to Andy Williams, who discovered the Osmond's yea Spider Savage
Speaker 1: the skier. He was a very popular guy in Aspen.
Speaker 1: He was an entrepreneur, after his skiing career. He was
Speaker 1: he was I think he was an Olympic skier and
Speaker 1: then a pro. They used to have a pro ski
Speaker 1: racing circuit that they would televise on NBC ABC every weekend.
Speaker 1: It was like the um Wide World of Sports that
Speaker 1: always had the pros racing in tandem. They'd have the
Speaker 1: dual courses right side by side, and Spider Savage was
Speaker 1: one of the leading money winners. Laura La to Luke,
Speaker 1: that's very Richard Simmons, of you a great one. Richard
Speaker 1: Simmons is famous for his red and white shorts. He

Speaker 1: famous workout tapes were Sweating to the Oldies and Sweat
Speaker 1: and Shout and Richard Simmons is still alive, but no
Speaker 1: one knows where he is. He disappeared. The topic became
Speaker 1: a codtast called seeing Richard Simmons. I bet you you

Speaker 1: a wonderful idea from a fan, uh that we're going
Speaker 1: to adopt. It's called required reading and today recommendation, or
Speaker 1: not really a recommendation, it's pretty much a command for
Speaker 1: everybody to read the following the unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath.
Speaker 1: Rory was reading this book on the bench in front
Speaker 1: of her old high school. And just a little more background.
Speaker 1: She was married to Ted Hughes, who was quite a
Speaker 1: gifted writer poet. He wrote series book of poems called Crow.
Speaker 1: So read Ted Hughes as well. And that's my personal recommendation.
