62
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,000

63
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,760

64
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Paul fig created Freaksing Geeks. It's really important because Paul

65
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: it's basically Paul's life. And then Judd said, I think

66
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: this is a great show. So it was. It was

67
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: a tag team effort on Paul and Judd's behalf, you know,

68
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: to go, let's get this show out there. And that's

69
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: that was probably my biggest best thing. So I was

70
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: on more than four of those. Scott, you are you were?

71
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: You were? You were serious? Regular? Right? Yeah? Regular enough? Yea,

72
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: all right, let's get let's get into the Gilmore thing

73
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: first and start from the beginning. And we know from

74
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: the iconic of Freaks and Geeks, Neddie Classified much more.

75
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: How did you but how did you get started in acting?

76
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: And did you always want to be an actor? You

77
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: know what? It's on my tax forms, So just note this.

78
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: I know that you are an actor and you study acting.

79
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: So I'm a performer and it's really weird. I actually

80
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: put it on my taxes, Scot, I put performers slash

81
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: writer because I don't consider myself a very good actor.

82
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a actor, if you will, So I

83
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: actually I performed. That's what I do, and many of

84
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: my characters if you know me personally, and now we do.

85
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: Great to meet you. Um Mr Rosso, Mr Quest the

86
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: second try, but are on Gilmo Girls. It's kind of

87
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: just me saying lines that other people wrote. So if

88
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: that's acting, sure I'll take it. But I'm kind of

89
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: more of a performer. So um, well I got and

90
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: I got my start in high school. Just you know,

91
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: in high school. Could you remember what production? In high school?

92
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: It was a it was called like Fall Follies, and

93
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: we did a fire signed theater, ask your grandparents, Ask

94
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: your great grandparents, comedy skit. It was a radio skit,

95
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: so I heard radio from way back and it was

96
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: a comedy group that had a funny skit called Mark Time.

97
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: And it was like Fall Follies where people did skits

98
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: and songs and so forth. So my friend Paul Felster

99
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: and I took just every word from a fire signed

100
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: theater recorded comedy skit. This is ancient history, right, and

101
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: that's where you got that going? So and by the way,

102
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: can I mention one thing? May I please mention this?

103
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I can clear up another podcast? By the way, I

104
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: am all in for I am all in, Okay. I

105
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: don't care about any of the other boy I don't

106
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: who cares about him? However, on another podcast, one of

107
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: the Saturday Live cast members Chris Red super funny guy. Right, great,

108
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: he's a rapper, he's a singer, he's a really funny guy.

109
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: He said that only two people we're funny that came

110
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: out of Naperville, Illinois, and one was Bob oden Kirk. Right,

111
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: we love we love Bob, and I love Chris Red.

112
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: But he said there was only two him and Bob Odenkirk.

113
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: So I'll let your fans, who I trust with humor

114
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: and charm. I trust that your fans are are humorous

115
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: and charming, to say maybe let's like grouper in that group.

116
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: It's a pretty small group. Two people. Come on, I

117
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: think I think you should you know, we don't even

118
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: need to consult with the audience. Let's put you in

119
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: the group. There's three people now from Napierville, thank you,

120
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: that are funny, good, and there may be more. Scott.

121
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't mean to discount anybody else who came out

122
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: of there that was hilarious. So I just wanted to

123
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: make sure that Chris Rednew I think I'm too old

124
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: for him. I think that's why he didn't know me.

125
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do? What? You know what?

126
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: You can't do anything? You know? You have? There you go, there,

127
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: you go, there's a there's the crafty Dave. So listen,

128
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: you worked with so many great actors and when they

129
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: were just young uns on Freaks and Geeks, could you

130
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: tell at the time that they would go on to

131
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: do great things? Well, you know what too, And I'm

132
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: gonna do what I call a sidebar. You know everything

133
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: I do as all the legal leads. So I'll tell

134
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: you about sure that whole cast, right of Seth and uh,

135
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: Linda Cardlini and all those folks, you kind of sense

136
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: that they were really something. Alison Jones really and Paul

137
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: Feig and Judd. They chose some really great young people

138
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: to be those students on Freaksy Geeks, right, And so

139
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: you knew they were going to go somewhere. There was

140
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But also I was early on

141
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: and other people relevant to your show, my friend because

142
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Lauren Graham I knew just kind of from l A

143
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: and around. We were in a movie that nobody saw

144
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: called dil Scallion together. That was the first time I

145
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: spent any time with her. Right. Also, Melissa McCarthy, right,

146
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: the first time I met her was on your show, right,

147
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: just briefly. I think we're in maybe a a town

148
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: hall scene or something like that, or you know, in passing.

149
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: But then I got to work with her twice on

150
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: Mike and Molly right and in Ghostbusters, where I was

151
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: so freaky made up that she did not recognize me

152
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,360

172
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: only so many hours in a day and so much

173
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: uh so much bandwidth on my iPad from nineteen fifty.

174
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: So that's why I you know. But here's what happened.

175
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: Grantly Phillips, the best trooper or ever he he and

176
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: I worked together Largo. Thank you Flannagan for that opportunity

Speaker 1: is on La Sianga Largo dash l a dot com

181
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: thinking to find out what they're new. Okay, oh yeah,

182
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: it's been a little while. But that's where I met

183
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: Grantly Phillips, the super hilarious, the super charming and humor

184
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: as he was both charming and humor capital C capital

185
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: age and so we knew each other from there. We

186
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: were in shows together. I opened for him. Uh. The

187
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: first time we did Naked Trucker Live at Largo was

188
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: in front of Grant and that was Flannagan saying, only Grantly,

189
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: with his sense of humor, will appreciate the Naked Trucker

190
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: show as an opening act for his show. Grantly Phillips right.

191
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: And we also opened to the Palace in other led

192
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: places no longer there for Grantly Buffalo. So I think

193
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I owe it to Granently Phillips. He said that they

194
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: wanted maybe and again someone could correct me the either

195
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: one of like Robin Hitchcock or Richard Thompson to be

196
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: the second triper, like an actual musician, like an actual performer,

197
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: like an actual person, right to do it. And I

198
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: think that didn't happen. So it might have been Grantly

199
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: uh saying why don't you get grewber. I think that

200
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: was it, now, did did you? I mean I assumed

201
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: you had some kind of a a presence in the

202
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: Hollywood firmament. Uh, you had a reputation. People knew your work,

203
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: people knew who you were, so it wasn't there yea. Indeed, Scott,

204
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: we were super lucky the Higgins Place Grouper was in

205
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: New York. But then when we all moved out to

206
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: l A, we were getting in parts like I got

207
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: the part of hippie lawyer on a Drew Carey show stuff.

208
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: So then we still kept performing though Scott Live. We

209
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: played every single place in l A. Dave Higgins, Steve

210
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: Higgins and I played every single place at accept, the

211
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: Comedy Store, and the Improv. So but every single other

212
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: place you could play we played. So why not there?

213
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Why not at the improv in the comedy They didn't

214
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: want us? Uh at the comedy store and the improv

215
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: oddly enough, because we did some improv comedy as well,

216
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: they were like, nah, will pass really really? Oh yeah,

217
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: but we were three people. I think they didn't want

218
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: to give out three drink tickets, is what I think.

219
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So you were right to

220
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: all the friends that would show up and so so

221
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: so you had the benefit of being very memorable with

222
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: your voice and your look and your humor. And casting

223
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: directors or friends of casting directors. You came and see

224
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: these shows that you know, this guy is exter exterly

225
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: hysterically funny. You can't forget him. Why don't you go

226
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: see him? Maybe cast him in that film or maybe

227
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: is that how it happened for you? Just like a

228
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: little bit of that. Yeah. In fact, um, let me

229
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: just tell you to take yourn. You mentioned the voice,

230
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: so I can share this with you. Uh. And and

231
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: one one set up story. One kind of really funny story.

232
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: It was just weird and it happened and someone might

233
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: have seen the second thing we did. Um King of

234
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: the Hill had a character called Appleseed, right, and they said,

235
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: get Gruber, he can do this character. It's kind of

236
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: a hippie crunching organic guy, right, And sure enough I

237
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: showed up in four of those two Scott four count them.

238
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: I guess that's my number. Any show Scott, They're like,

239
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: don't give Grumber five five. He's gonna you know why,

240
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: because he's it's it's too much you're gonna take over

241
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: the show. That's the problem. Maybe that's it. That's it,

242
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you you stole this episode for me.

243
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: I was just I was floored. I was absolutely floored

244
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: with the with the hippie stuff. And I say, nobody

245
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,520

253
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: Scott I worked at. Did you ever go to Glendale

254
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: when you're in l A? Visit Glendale? Um? Ish, that's

255
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: a good way to visit Glendale. I actually been there.

256
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: My wife's brother used to live there, so we would

257
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: go there. Yeah, I Glendale. Yeah. Well, you know what,

258
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: one of my first jobs. Our original comedy group name

259
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: is don't quit your day job, so none of us

260
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: did when we first moved to l A from Iowa,

261
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: and so one of my first day jobs was education.

262
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: Aid in a middle school in Glendale, right, Wilson Junior

263
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: High at the time, And and that we just started

264
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: doing all the comedy we could from there, right, And

265
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: so yeah, I forget what I was gonna tell you,

266
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: but it was super important. Okay, let's let's get in

267
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: with the Gilmore stuff. The first season one, episode one, God,

268
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: really do what do I remember you in season? In

269
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: season one? Anyway? The second Town Trooper? How did you

270
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: get the role? Well? Yeah, how did you get the role?

271
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: You think you think you think it was But you

272
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: had to come in an audition, right are you? Were

273
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: you just offered the part? I think I might have

274
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: been off of the part or auditioned like don't mess

275
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: it up, one of those kind of things, just so

276
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: you know. Scott, for example, I did audition for the

277
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: part of Mr Rosso and Freaks and Geeks, but I

278
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: had to go in. It was written for me, basically

279
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: like we need a hippie counselor for the high school.

280
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: And so I believe Second Trooper or I had the

281
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: great recommendation. I'm sure it had to be grantly looking

282
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: out for me and saying, you know what, if you

283
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: can't get a real musician get a pretty good fake,

284
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: one good grouper. So I have a feeling that's what

285
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: it is. And maybe they had me come in and

286
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: just read it Scott, I don't recall like and just

287
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: if he doesn't screw up, then yes we'll give him

288
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: the part. It might have been like that, right, right, right?

289
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: So do you remember your first day on the set? Uh? No,

290
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: I do not, except remember the first phone call I

291
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: had with your amazing team there, and they said, what

292
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: are you gonna sing? And I go, I don't know.

293
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna see going down the Road feeling bad? Right, Oh?

294
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: And I remember what I was gonna say about Wilson

295
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: Junior High. So going down the Road feeling bad it's

296
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: a grateful, dead cover of an old timey folk song.

297
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: But then I had this long conversation with the music

298
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: clearance team, and boy, you want a busy job music

299
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: clearance for the Gilmurg girls. Are you kidding me? Right?

300
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: That would be like the busiest job ever in show business.

301
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: They're delving, They're delving into every genre of music pretty much,

302
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. And it's just it's endless between Grant

303
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: Lee's original songs, whatnot and just all the songs and

304
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: all the artists you've had on and so I'm sorry,

305
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: I gotta flashback real quick. People, when I was working

306
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: at Wilson Junior High in Glendale, and again you and

307
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: I two months apart, my friend. All the students would

308
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: ask me, hey, Mr aland are you a hippie? And

309
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: I would explain, well, I was ten when the hip

310
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: these were getting hippiefied, So yeah, I embraced the hippie gig.

311
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: But no it was not. So that clears that up.

312
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it was Grantly Phillips. I'm gonna say

313
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: I don't remember my first day on set, but I

314
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: remember a day with Jamie Babbitt when we get to

315
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: that episode. Okay, so right, well that this is the episode,

316
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: this is the episode week this is you with the

317
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: the the the the open air market, the vegetable moment

318
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: was that and that was Jamie directing that. Okay, I

319
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: love everything about Jamie Babbott. Let's just make that clear

320
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: right up top, okay. And then she said the most

321
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: gil More Girlean thing to me that I think in

322
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: those four times that I visited, I think I ever heard. Um.

323
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: It was some complicated scene. Maybe a jib shot or

324
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: something like. Something was going on uber at the focus

325
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: of it, and she took me aside, super quietly, super cool.

326
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: Did not bring this up in front of the other

327
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: in front of the writers, in front of the producers,

328
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: in front of the other cast, and she just quietly

329
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: said to me, Gruber, doing great out there. You're like

330
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: real supportive, you know what I mean. Scott's just all

331
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: about you know, you're doing great. Everything's cool. Could you

332
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: tie those lines together? Because I was doing these sort

333
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: of pinter pauses William Schattner I don't know what I

334
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: was doing williams Chattner thing or Harold pinter pauses, and

335
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: she just quietly said, Grouber, you know, it would be

336
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: great if you just pull those lines. And I go, oh,

337
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: you mean, like every line ever said in a Gilmore

338
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: Girls episode. I go, thank you, Jamie got it. I'll

339
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: do my best. And it worked because that, you know

340
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: what I mean? They all flowed beautifully together because you

341
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: were very smooth in this. That was that was the

342
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: sensation I was getting listening to you. You're acting. It's

343
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: so easy to sit back and listen to because it's

344
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: so smooth and cool and funny. Thanks, you really stole

345
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: this episode. You're seriously without without overdoing it. You know,

346
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: the writing is super strong because it all starts with

347
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: the writing, right, you know. But then I gotta say

348
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: Jamie because she was so cool about it, like I

349
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: could have fought it, like I'm gonna do it, by

350
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: the way, and she's like, just try this. You know this.

351
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: I think she even said it was one of those

352
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: things where you give the actor a choice. And so

353
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Jamie really came through for me and then set me

354
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: up for the next three episodes after that. You know

355
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: what I mean that I was in you, but thank

356
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: you for your good words. Oh no, there was there's

357
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: no other option but to do you know, to to

358
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: string it all together. I mean, yeah, taking a pinteresque

359
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: pause no oh no, no, recommended the time for that.

360
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: Uh So, your relationship with Taylor Dosie Michael Winners did delightful.

361
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't he What was your off screen relationship Like,

362
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: did you guys click right away or what was that? Like?

363
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,360

364
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: He liked you and many of the others in your

365
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: cast as an actor actor, right, so you know we

366
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: just kind of talked about that kind of stuff, you know, like, hey,

367
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: what have you been in? What are you doing? How's

368

369
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: he's a big, big classical actor. Yeah, yeah, so we

370
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: I think we talked a little about that and Scott,

371
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: you know what, if there was podcast at the time,

372
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: all I did was talking with your cast about what

373
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: they were doing. So they were always happy to have

374
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: me and let's have some fun. But when you set

375
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: off screen relationship that was the same unfixing geeks to

376
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: where I just wanted to go, where are you from,

377
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: what are you doing? What's your gig? You know that

378
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: was because I'm always curious about people and want to

379
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: learn more about them. So I'm sure I just found out,

380
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: Oh he's as cool as he looks On dav with Michael, Um,

381
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: how would you describe the character of Taylor Dozy? And

382
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: I described the character Taylor Dozy? Oh wow, I don't

383
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: know that's I really have nothing for that. Um kind

384
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: of uh, you know what, maybe a fly in the

385
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: ointment that a bit of a gad fly, lovable gad fly.

386
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: He certainly had his opinion of you, that's for sure.

387
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, not pretty thick, I mean he uh.

388
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,520

389
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: van Halen hair his her suit hippie rapunzel. I think

390
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: there were a couple of van Halen hair he called you,

391
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: I think two or three different names in the town

392
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: hall meeting in that episode. It was hysterical. What's funny too,

393
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: is that by doing van Halen hair he gets he gets,

394
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, one point for that, because if he's talking

395
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: to David lee Roth van Halen, then yeah, man, I'll

396
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: take it. That's a nice you know, it's a nice

397
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: head of hair at the time, right, you know, I

00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: Johnson kind of yeah it is. Yeah, You're you seem

401
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: to be very similar to your character and Gilmore. Are

402
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: you always this happy and cheery? Just like just like

403
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: your character in in in the show. I would say

404
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: this in front of other people because I love other people,

405
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: and I love my friends and I love my family.

406
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: I would say yes, I am that cheery and positive

407
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: in person. When I'm by myself, I get all bummed

408
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: out and I deal with all that stuff later. But

409
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: in a seriously answer to your question, I would say

410
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: the second true but or is a direct sort of

411
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: projection of what my real life is around other people.

412
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm happy and I try and make that situation happier

413
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: or more positive. You can talk to my ex wife

414
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: and some girlfriends in my life and they'd say, wow,

415
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: I did not see that guy. That's true too well.

416
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: Certain people, we didn't even meet that guy. Certain people

417
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: bring out you know, they bring out different energy and

418
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: you you know, it's like if you connect with people,

419
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: then it's wonderful, but if you don't, it can get

420
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: a little Yeah. Um, so what was it your favorite

421
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: character to play on the show? From that you played

422
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: the proprietor, the minister and the second Troubadoor was the

423
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: favorite one? Was it? Was it the Troubadour second Troubador.

424
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: I think he was the second tributor at the very

425
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: first appearance because it had that crazy town Hall meeting.

426
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: Uh if you remember that episode. Um, I actually grantly

427
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: and I write the Troubadour via Troubadour, we actually link

428
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: up at the end so we don't fight. The fighting

429
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: is over right, Taylor is his decision has put aside

430
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: and we are together. So I would say, just that

431
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: it established that this guy might come back, Scott, I

432
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: would go, let's go with the first first appearance of

433
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: the second Troubadoor, because it just set the pace then

434
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: so I could open my vegetable stand home grown by

435
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: the way, right, those are all mind supposedly grown. And

436
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: then if you remember, at the end of that episode,

437
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: he goes off to Palestine in isdriel Is to try

438
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: and solve some problems. There was a great line to

439
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: the drill, I'm gonna plant some seeds, spread some peace,

440
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, this kind of thing. I laughed so hard.

441
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: I laughed harder on your stuff than in that show

442
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: that was You were my biggest laugh in that whole episode.

443
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: That was just thanks pleasure that I couldn't understand why

444
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,040

447
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: thing I must tell you about my career is, oh,

00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm available. I'm around. So I'm gonna I'm gonna say no,

00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: it could have been. Because I was doing a little reading,

Speaker 1: at number three of the tallest of the casts, a shrimp.

456
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: Are you're rocking six two? Where are you going? Six one? Now?

457
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like six one barely, okay, so we'll give

458
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: you six one right, rounding up. And then I heard

459
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: ed Herman at six five five and Jared six four

460
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,400

461
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: six five. I think it was I was too tall.

462
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: I think they said, you know what, we'd have to

463
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: frame this differently, Jamie Babbitt and Amy when she was

464
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: directing the episodes, She's like, I don't think we can

465
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: fit him in the frame, right, I don't think. I

466
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: don't think maybe maybe that's it. I don't think that

467
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: they they managed with ed Herman, they managed with Jared beautifully.

468
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that's ed Herman with a jip shot. Yeah. Angle.

469
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: You notice all the Herman scenes are wide angle shots.

470
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: Noticed that well, you know he yeah, yeah, maybe I

471
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: just I'm not I'm not buying that, you're I had

472
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: the best time in the Gilmbo girls, I'm not kidding you, right.

473
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: Evidence treated me super nice and it was super fun,

474
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: So I got no complaints at all. It was it

475
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 1: was the time for me to do first things too.

476
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: When I did the Minister. If you notice in that

477
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: scene speaking of jim shots and whatever aerial shots, I

478
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: walked all the way from the back up over the gazebo,

479
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: through the band right down those stairs. It was the

480
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: first time, Scott that I got to use one of

481
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: those ear pieces. I don't know the term for them,

482
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: but it was I think it's called an earpiece. Okay,

483
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: I think that's what they Professor Fression names apiece. And

484
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: I was, but it was that's executive producer. Do you know?

485
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: That's exactly different things too when you're on set all

486
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: the time and here and so that's what happened in

487
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: that scene is people were talking and I could hear

488
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: the dialogue going, and I'm like, oh, man, don't mess

489

Speaker 1: this up. And you play guitar right, your guitar player right, Okay,

491
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: don't want to mess this up. I have lines to remember.

492
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: I need to sing the song that Dan wrote, which

493
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,720

Speaker 1: especially on the Warner Brothers Law. It's like, then, again, Jesus,

606
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: we have the whole you know, we had the whole

607
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: back lot. So a lot of people had to hold

608
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: Phil Gilmore girls when we were shooting right, if we're

609
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: shooting at yeah, exactly. You have the whole back lot.

610
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: You pretty much control the studio. Um, that's great. Um, Hey,

611
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: I like hearing that you jam. That's pretty cool. I

612
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: love that a lot. What he's such a great songwriter

613
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: and he's such a great performer and singers. He's so

614
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: got everything. Let me let's take a minute in praise

615
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: of Grantly Phillips and played in craise of men. Um.

616
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, everything about him, his voice, his character,

617
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: his personality, his songwriting, a bill, his guitar playing. It's

618
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: crazy good. So I can I can share. Here's another

619
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: here's another gils connection to Uh. In the episode Partyings Right,

620
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: Marylynn Rice Scott appears and she's also singing right. So

621
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: she was part of Girls Guitar Club. Her and Karen

622
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: Garret had a duo that played at Where Largo. Okay,

623
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: so we all knew each other from way back when

624
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: I remember shows that Grantly Phillips will put on with

625
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: Mary Lynn Rice variety shows where I was. I think

626
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: I was the fake warm up guy. Uh Scott. This

627
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: is going deep gruber, but I had a character. It

628
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: was a fake warm up guy named Todd Carlin, and

629
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: it was he was supposedly like a nephew of George

630
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: Colin or something, right, so there you go. Um, But

631
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: I think I played Todd Carlin in the Grantly Phillips

632
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: and Maryland Rice scob variety show at Largo, so I

633
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: knew her from way back then too, you know what

634
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean. And Grantly and mary Lynn we're friends and

635
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 1: put on these great shows, hilarious, musical everything you want

636
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go down

637
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: to Nashville and write some songs with some some artists

638
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 1: down there. Um, and I'm gonna you know, Grants down there,

639
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm probably gonna I'm probably gonna hook up

640
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: with him. And maybe you know, I'm I'm terrified or

641
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: performing anymore because I don't know that I'm very good

642
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: at it, but it just terrifies me to to to

643
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: to sing and play the guitar. So I don't know

644
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: if I'm actually going to do that part of it

645
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: because they want me to play at the Bluebird and

646
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: put on a whole show. But I mean, I toured

647
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: four years ago, and I you know, when you do

648
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: that you're kind of rock solid and you you get

649
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: all your confidence going and it's easy. But man, it's

650
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: been a while so I'm terrified of it. So anyway,

651
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: but I'll hook up with Grant when I'm down there.

652
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: Do you know what, You get around to him and

653
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: you can get back to there, you can get back

654
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: to their right well, yeah, I mean it takes a

655
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: lot of practice. You know, you just got You just

656
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: have to put the time in, that's all. And at

657
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: the time is something I have very little love. This

658
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: show has blessed Bliss blissfully taken over my life, which

659
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: is unexpected, but it happened very quickly. But anyway, so

660
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,959
Speaker 1: share some of your other, uh fond memories of being

661
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: on set with on Gil. Did you have any scenes

662
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: with Lauren? I'm gonna say no, anything went no you

663
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: did you at the cash register? Okay? Remember you ordered? Yeah, passing.

664
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: I would say there's no big old, no big old

665
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: scenes because it was mostly with Michael Taylor. And I'm

666
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: gonna say that was the most because those were the

667
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 1: uh the standoffs, you know what I mean. And then

668
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: that crazy a fond memory was the what do you

669
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: call it? Uh town hall scene? Because that was all

670
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: my favorite people in one room making funny comments and stuff.

671
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: So that was pretty great. You guys came in late,

672
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: by the way, that was part of the stick of

673
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: that one. But even like Mike Gan Dolphie, who I

674
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: know from the l a commedty scene he was in

675
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: the room. It's like, oh my gosh, all these cool people,

676
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: all my favorite people, and a very nutty scene. By

677
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: the way, Grantly also one more thing in praise of Grant,

678
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: he really took his acting seriously because I remember being there,

679
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: and you know Gruber, he's a bit of a goof.

680
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I get worried and I get nervous, and

681
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: I try and memorize my lines, and as per Jamie Babbitt,

682
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: I try and put it together. That's the key to

683
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: get put him together, put your minds together. But I

684
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: remember Grant was really trying to get it exactly right

685
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: because it was a big scene for him. You remember,

686
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: you know, he had mines, he had had a close up.

687
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: He almost had a close up. They had to punching

688
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: real close to him when he woke up and he said, hey,

689
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: you there, you know, and he and he had a

690
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: whole deal and he played that little little couple of

691
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: bars of a song and it was just good stuff.

692
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: So that was a super fun memory. And then let

693
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: me take you to uh remember I mentioned before that

694
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: we had a comedy group when we first moved to

695
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: l A. Steve Higgins, Dave Higgins, and I called don't

696
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: quit your day job. Another of my day job, believe

697
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: it or not, was a bicycle mail messenger at Warner Brothers.

698
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: So they had a weird call for it was like

699
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: open call for like people to work at Warner Brothers.

700
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: And I go in there and the human resources guy,

701
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't remember his name, but he was so nice

702
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: because he hired me and I got to work in

703
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: the mail room and ride a bike around. This is

704
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,600

705
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: when when I first moved there eighty six. But so

706
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: then to come back there all those years later, right

710
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: or you know what I mean. Yeah, I remember we're

00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: staying outside of Ellen de generes Uh studio where she

712
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,560

Speaker 1: he goes, you know, and we had some time. We're

714
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: so so because we were working on that sound stage

Speaker 1: we're doing the Red right we that's the sound stage.

717
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: We were on one of the sound stage. We had

718
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: a couple of them, and uh, I kept trying to,

719
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: you know, crane my head around to see if I could, like,

720
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: is Clinton there? And I was gonna walk in. That's hey,

721
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: big fan. I mean with Clint, not Allen. But you know,

722
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I understand. All right, So

723
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna do rapid fire. Okay, have you heard about

724
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: rapid fire? I have not heard about. Do you have

725
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: a seatbelt? Happy to do it? I understand the idea

726
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: of rapid fire. I mean, buckle up, here we go, ready,

727
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: But guess what's got I will say this. You're doing

728
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: rapid fire. I'm doing a slow motion, smooth grouper. You

729
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: actually highlighted my smoothness. So whether or not the whether

730
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: or not the responses or rapid I don't know. But

735
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: put it that way. I'm thinking of a Frank's episode.

736
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: So there you go. And these next two questions, I'm

737
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: going to eliminate them from rapid fire because I'm tired

738
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: of asking them. So I'm not gonna ask you these questions.

739
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: You can substitute two new ones. I will kay, okay, ready,

740
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: what kind of do you shampoo? And conditioner? And just shampoo?

741
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: I go shampoo, and can't you tell conditioner? And you

742
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: know what I do, Scott, I beat the system because

743
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: I go Upscale product. I won't name it, but then

744
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 1: I wait till it goes on set, so it's Upscale

745
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: hair carry products, but then are only on sale. So

746
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: both I go both. Who are you rooting for in

747
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or did you care? I did not

748
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: care because the Green Bay Packers were not in it.

749
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: So as a guy born in Milwaukee, I have to

750
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: by law, I have to root the packers. I would

751
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: have gone bears because I grew up in Illinois. Yeah, Danny,

752
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: ELSs go pack go. You got it, all right? So

753
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: that's what I would say. If the Packers were in it,

754
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: I would have rooted from them. You're a cheesehead. I

755
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 1: love it. Uh. The show that you're binge watching right now, Uh,

756
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: you know what it is, and it's it's kind of

757
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: funny because there's crossover. I'm gonna call it crossover. The

758
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: show that I probably watched most of all because I

759
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: don't have Netflix. I have a iPad from Y three,

760
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: so all against is those shows. Um. The show that

761
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: I've beene watching is All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC.

762
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: I never miss it. It's called All In with Chris

763
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: Hayes on MSNBC or what they like to call m

764
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: s LSD. The opposition calls it MSLSD. Anyway, probably more

765
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: than any of the best memory of Gilmore Girls. Best

766
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: memory of Gilmore Girls was the spreta Core. I don't

767
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: want to get all French. Don you get all French?

768
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: Just get all French. I gotta drop, I gotta drop

769
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: some French spree to Core from the table reads to

770
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, costuming to Dan Pelladine or writing some goofy

771
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: lyrics that he wanted me to do, you know or whatever,

772
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: was like, Wow, this is. And here's the thing, because

773
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: you've heard the Scott before, where you go something something

774
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 1: is a well oiled machine, you know whatever, some show

775
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: was a well oiled machine. This was not a machine.

776
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: This was an organic, breathing body of joy that that

777
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: show really was. Okay, it was all that. So what

778
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: was the question? Didn't I answer it? You did? Okay?

779
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: That was I mean, it was best girls, but you

780
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: gave an overall impression, which is even better. Yeah, I

781
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: think was my overall impressure. Okay, good, all right, listen,
