I love you. 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.400 I'm in Beverly Hills at some podcast studio because my 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.560 house is not done and I have another four months 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.120 of construction, so I had to move back out of 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.080 my house and now I'm staying at a friend's house. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.440 I find it interesting that you are, to me, one 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.040 of the most powerful women I've ever met. Like, there's 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.400 just like you have like a woo about you, and 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.680 the fact that this has run new wagon. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.360 I don't even talk about it anymore. It's too stupid. 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.600 I refuse to even give it my time of day. 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.040 I just I said to someone, I'm like, what kind 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:03.840 of karma? They're like, this is not your karma. I go, 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.560 it really feels like my karma. But anyway, I have 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.240 too many good things in my life to worry about 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:08.920 this fucking house. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.440 I can't wait to get rid of it. If anyone 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.120 wants to buy my house, let me know it'll be 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.200 in perfect shape by the time you fucking get your 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:14.600 hands on it. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:15.880 Oat. 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.080 Listen, by the time this comes out, more episodes of 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.240 White Lotus will have come out. So but we're gonna 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.120 focus on the one that we all saw last night 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:27.040 or two nights ago now, episode number five, right, Yes, it. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.960 Was episode five. Are there eight episodes? 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.440 There are eight episodes. There are eight of Okay, I 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:32.080 can answer that. 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.080 First of all, it was the episode with your lover. 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.120 Sam Rockwell was in it with an incredible monologue. 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:45.400 Incredible monologue that starts. I mean, it was just it was. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.080 I mean, there was a Time magazine article about it 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:49.200 about that monologue. 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:50.120 Yes that you sent me. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.839 That was awesome and actually really I felt the same 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.040 when I watched that monologue. 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.960 I'm like, this is what Mike White thinks, Like. 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:02.040 This is either how Mike White feels and things. Because 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.279 that monologue, no one could write something like that except 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.960 I thought maybe Sam Rockwell could. I'm like, you know what, 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.760 Sam might have come in with this monologue and said, listen, 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.560 I have a piece that I want to put in 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:13.000 the show. 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.200 I don't think. I don't know if anybody who writes 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:19.520 quite like Mike Mike White does like stuff like that, confrontational, 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:25.479 that confronting, that subversive, that sort of not nothing he 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.520 does is like dinner table conversation, you know, and the 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.800 way he I haven't seen the episode, but the fact 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.680 that Sam just does it like he's saying past the assault, 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.440 and there's something about that because it's his truth. And 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.039 I feel like if Kate and Laurie and Jacqueline, the 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.680 three women like, are are the ladies? If the ladies 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.680 had come in and just been like, my life is 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.719 a disaster, my marriage is this, or I lost my job, 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.200 I think I'm drinking too much or whatever their shit was, 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.320 and it just talked about it and been vulnerable and 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.799 sort of unapologetic about what's going on in their life, 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.640 it would have been a very different vacation for them. 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.440 But instead they couldn't do that. And so when I 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.400 read all eight episodes and I got to that monologue 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:16.640 for Frank, I remember feeling like, oh, this is Mike's 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.960 this is like the essence of the show. This is 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.840 what he's saying, like what we should try to aspire 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.320 to And as it goes on, you'll see that, you know, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:32.480 things can be very hard to hold on to. And 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.880 I don't know, I don't know if Frank does such 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:40.280 a good job with his sobriety or any of it. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.240 Right, so, right, right, right right? 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.960 So how well, by the way, how did Sam So? 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.760 How was it because of you that Sam also got 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.440 in the show? Or was it completely separate. 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.680 Completely separate? The person that they had first gone to 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:58.320 couldn't do it anymore because we had pushed and pushed, 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:02.480 and we'd just gone over and weather and whatever. We 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:07.440 had gone long and Sam was doing a movie in 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.360 South Africa and it was never going to time out. 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.720 Like they had said something to me early on, like 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.840 what if this were to happen, and I was like, 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.000 I don't think it's going to happen because he's shooting 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:22.120 this big movie and he looks like an unhoused person 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.720 in this movie. You'll never be able to like, he 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.920 can't do both. And also Sam is not that actor. 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.680 He won't sort of double team like that. He'll be 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:35.400 like he needs prep time. And then we pushed so 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:40.560 much that he was ending his movie and he had 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.600 like a week and a half between, so technically he 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.240 could do it, but it was he really fretted with 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.400 the idea of doing it. I think he knew that 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:55.560 that monologue was a beast. It's not something you just go, okay, 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.600 I'm going to do it, you know, you just, on 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.880 top of just being prepared with just being off book 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.320 and ready, you have to do the deep emotional prep 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:10.440 of what that means. And Sam's got a very specific process. 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.120 And so when they said they were going to offer 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.400 it to him, I remember Dave Bernad was walking through 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.400 one of the hotels we were shooting in and I 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.040 was on the treadmill and I waved at him and 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.320 I said come here, and he came in. He goes, 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.080 did you hear? And I said yeah, I said listen, 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:28.920 if he doesn't do it, you and Mike can't get 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.439 mad at me like that jet plan's going to fly. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.960 I can't ground it like that that's going one way 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.600 and I'm not. So he was like, no, no, we 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.920 won't get mad at you, and then he hemmed in 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.360 had But then he eventually did it, And so. 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.479 I can't imagine anyone else doing that, but Sam Rockwell's 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.680 I agree with you as soon as. 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.200 I saw him in it, which I don't. I don't. Yeah, 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:54.480 I didn't know he was going to be in that. 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.959 I kept it a secret. Can you believe it? 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.360 I know, I know you guys are good at keeping secrets. 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.000 You guys are good. I mean, I think you're under 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.360 contract to keep that secret. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.240 But still, like, I mean we told somebody. I'm like, 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.000 you know, people were like, wait, you were there, what 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.439 was going on? And then you know, Sam, of course 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.640 like talk to people about whether or not I should 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.600 do it, But like, I think we did pretty good. 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.880 Like you were like to tam Com visit you and 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.520 I was like, yeah he did. I start looking down 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.360 and looking away and trying not to make like eye 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.000 contactuse I hate lying to people. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:29.560 Okay, Well, the other highlight of last night's episode. First 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.319 of all, your fucking facial expressions killed me. Whenever I'm 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.959 friends with anybody who's an actor and I watched them 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.520 in movies, it's very hard for me to take them seriously. 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.520 Once I've made a friendship with someone, I just cannot wait. 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.080 All I do is send my friend Connie pictures of 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.640 her acting, and she I'm like, this is ridiculous. She's like, 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.160 don't watch it. I don't want to hear any fucking feedback. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.440 But Leslie's faces in White Lotus. First of all, I 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.600 also want to just talk about this show and that 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:01.440 what a cultural zeitgeist this show is every I was 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.199 at my sister's sixtieth birthday weekend and there were fifteen 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.960 people there, like four generations of people, and we all 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.440 sat down on Sunday night to watch this in a 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.440 weekend where we were not watching TV. This was the 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.520 only TV show we watched because everyone was into it. 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.960 Everyone's like, oh my god, New White Lettos, New White Lotus. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.320 So I could only imagine what you've been experiencing being 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.320 a part of this cast, because it is they show 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.400 that everyone watches. Like Severance is a very popular show. 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.640 Not everyone watches it, but it's hugely popular. There isn't 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.840 a person I know that doesn't watch White Lotus. So 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.040 that in and of itself is such a testament to 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.840 Mike White and all of these casts that he puts together, 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.720 because the casting is the most integral part to all 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.160 of these and it helps that everybody is an actor, 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.000 not a movie star, you know, what I mean, it 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.320 helps that it helps move the story along, that there 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.400 are so many actors and there's so many stories going on, 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:53.920 because it's so fun to follow that. 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.840 Yeah, Hi, it's Catherine from the Future. If you don't 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.840 want any spoilers for episode five of White Lotus that 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.240 came out on March sixteenth, then please skip forward exactly 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:04.800 two minutes. 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.280 But there was a scene in this pool with Carrie 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.440 Kuhon and with the ladies, the three girls, Michelle Bonahan 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.880 and Leslie and Kerry Kuhon, and as we've come to know, 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.760 Leslie's characters, a Trump supporter, which was. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.840 A fucking I'm an independent, independent Trump supporter. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.000 For my husband's Republican but I'm an independent. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:27.360 And there's a scene and when they're in with these 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.400 three Russian guys, they've been partying all day and she 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.760 takes her carry Kuhon takes her top off. She's like 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:36.480 trying to hook up with Vladimir, right or Voldemort Vladimir 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.240 I think it's I want to say Vair, it's Valentine. 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:43.280 Valentine she's hooking up with She's wanting to anyway. And 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.640 when her top comes off, the face that you have 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.920 the smile. First of all, the show is filled with 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.480 facial expressions from you that are fucking to die for. 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:55.400 They are so funny. 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.199 What do I do? What do I do? 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.920 That you go? It's patronized seeing kind of. 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.319 Like yeah, even when you're about to talk shit with 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.880 your girlfriends, whether it's with Carrie or Michelle, I'm using 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.679 their real names because I get confused by all the 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.880 character But when one of them leaves and she's like, 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.560 oh god, she seems like she's drinking a lot, She's like. 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.280 Oh she does. 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.320 Everything is so smart. 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.600 It's just coming down like a butterscotch candy and it's 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.560 so funny. And then when she Carrie Kon's top comes off, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.079 Leslie Bib's already like, I don't know about these men 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:30.920 at our villa. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:31.679 What's going on? 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.600 This is a little too much for me as an 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:34.959 independent Trump supporter. 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.080 This is a little bit too much for me. 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.280 And then the face that you make when her top 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:45.200 comes off, like ha, like just a deflation of like 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.080 oh no, we're all gonna get gang banged or something 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.160 bad is gonna happen, Like that is where which is 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.640 where I thought that scene was going. I'm like, uh, oh, 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.120 they are going to turn on her and somebody's getting fucked. 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.520 That's somebody that doesn't want to it's going to But yeah, 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.280 you're acting in this is just like I don't. 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.360 Their character is so so perfectly you Thank you. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.319 Thanks. That means a lot, Like it really means a 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.760 lot coming from you. I've never experienced anything like this 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:19.320 show before. It's crazy. Everybody's watching it and they also 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.839 there there's an obsession with it and people really watch 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:27.080 it for which is I think Mike probably loves very much. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.120 Is they get all of the metaphors and the themes 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.600 and and and I don't know if it's because it 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.720 only comes out once a week and it makes you 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.040 have an appetite for it and that you have to 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.600 sit there and then you can rewatch it and look 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.440 at stuff and go, oh wait, did you see why 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.400 were there three monkeys in that corner? And why were that? 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.880 Like people are picking up on things that Like I 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:51.560 was like, are they going to get that? And the 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:56.559 obsession with understanding it thematically I think is really cool 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.079 because I do think Mike is working in big themes. 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.160 I think you know he's working He's talking about spirituality 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.959 and death. But then he's also working with doppelgangers and 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.520 mirrors and reflections, like with the Three Ladies. You know 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.439 we were said like, oh, nobody could tell us apart 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.199 when we were kids, And even while we were filming, 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.600 if I had my head turned, somebody would be like 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.120 my haircut was enough, like carries and like it felt 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.840 like art in life started to you're there long enough 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.400 and you start to feel like a guest at the 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.680 White Lotus because you're filming at a hotel wherever you 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.160 where you go, it says the White Lotus, I don't know. 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.680 It is like a weird mind trip. So I so 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.200 appreciate you saying that the work is good, but I 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.480 think part of it is just being surrounded by it 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.560 all the time that you I don't know. I mean, 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.760 I think it helps the work, Like when we were 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.280 getting cabin fever from being there for six months and 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:57.240 feeling like this sometimes because you're away from home and 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.400 away from anything that feels like you're normal. I think 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.440 it actually helped the work, And I think for the 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.760 people who love it, I think the fact that he 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.120 makes you wait every week also helps to aid the 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.240 fever pitch of like I want more and the episodes 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.360 were much bigger. They were I don't know, like hour 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.120 and a half long, and then HBO would make Mike, 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.280 you know, cut them down to fifty two minutes. So 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.440 sometimes I want to see what those hour and a 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:24.160 half long? 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.760 Yeah, I mean, so does everybody else. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.160 I know, Like I had this insane dream sequence that 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.720 we shot that I was so like, oh, it was 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.560 like a sucker punch when I found out it got 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:36.240 cut and I was. 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:37.720 Like, oh, poor Kate. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:43.680 But there's so many stories he's telling and interweaving. It's 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.000 fascinating to me, how you you know, And it's interesting 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.960 your take that, like if you had a big movie 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.840 star in there, would you be able to with such 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.800 abandon go down the you know, all of these roads 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.720 with these people, or would you be like, oh, there's 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.160 Tom Cruise or there's you know what I mean? Would 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:03.760 you do you think? 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:05.920 I don't know, it's tough to think about. 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.960 I mean I think that kind of it's yeah, maybe maybe. 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.080 You know, I would think so. 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.680 I mean, you know, depending on their acting ability, like 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.840 to really immerse themselves. I mean maybe it could just 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.960 be say Tom Cruise was a character in that show 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.200 that would be really interesting it would be interesting to 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.080 watch him mixing with everybody and not being the main attraction, 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:29.040 being one of the storylines, which I really appreciate. 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:29.240 As a viewer. 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:30.680 Yeah, jumping off of Bill. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.160 Yeah, jumping off a bill, of course, or into Paris 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.680 or wherever he needs to go for the Olympics next. 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.760 But what do you learn about the show when you're 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.280 doing it? Like what does Mike tell you about it? 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.080 Like what are you what are you not allowed to 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:44.200 talk to people about? 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.880 You're not only about anything, not really allowed to talk 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:49.760 about anythinking. I mean, the fact that they kept Sam 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.240 secret is kind of incredible to me. I don't know 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.640 how they did that, because I mean, in this age 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.480 where everything gets leaked, I don't know. I kept saying 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.600 to him, I think it's bonkers that nobody knows you're 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:06.959 in it, or it hasn't somehow gone out. But when 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.440 you're doing it, you read the script, but like there's 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.080 something with the way he directs and the way he's 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.560 you know, and you sort of get all eight and 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.040 then I only have my Then I have to give 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:22.359 back everything because those scripts are so guarded. So I 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:26.919 have just my section of the script. So I feel 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:32.239 very disconnected to anybody else's storyline, so you're kind of 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:37.560 there on your own journey and so you don't know 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.960 how it's all going to be interconnected or any of that. 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:46.040 So that's really like Mike the editing, how he sees it, 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.280 how it changed. I mean, that's I mean, it's really 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.560 all a testament to him and his vision for this. 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.760 And I think he's got remarkable editors and his production 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:59.439 designer is incredible. Nothing Mike does is like, oh, look 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.280 at that happen accident, you know, but when you're there, 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.399 he feels you don't feel like that's happening. But he's 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.359 like he's a he's just a mastermind. He's really and 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.639 I feel like in this third season you're really seeing 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:15.399 Mike I felt like, as a director really step into 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.600 his own in a big way, you know, because he's 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:22.240 a writer and an actor and those hats I think 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:30.120 he wears effortlessly. But something about this season felt like 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.520 there was he really something felt I don't know. 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.000 Different, is there any improvisation. 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.639 He's like, I have this thing about beans. We're on 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.040 the beach, I say all these innocuous things. I just 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.640 have like, I mean, my last name is boor k Poor, 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.320 So I don't really say anything interesting, like it's all 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:52.360 in the name bohr k Poor. And I have this 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.520 like thing about beans, how I tricked my mind into 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.120 liking beans, and and he must have liked it because 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:00.679 then he came over and he said, Carrie, maybe you 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.840 would say this, and then Leslie, you go, no, no, no, 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.399
