Speaker 4: two and three.
Speaker 1: So I hope to see you out there.
Speaker 4: We have a very special pair coming on and Amy
Speaker 4: kind of shocked us with thiseenth anniversary surprise. A couple
Speaker 4: of fellas who were, you know, the reigning champions shock
Speaker 4: Jocks Morning DJs in the La scene who came to
Speaker 4: us on this exact date eighteen years ago on the
Speaker 4: set of Luke's.
Speaker 5: Years Ago. Wait you guys.
Speaker 3: Okay, So, for everybody who is just joining and maybe
Speaker 3: didn't hear our last episode, basically we're recapping, Oh my gosh, Suzanne,
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to say the title of this episode.
Speaker 3: Let me hear your bella lacas ringing out. So I'm
Speaker 3: so Scott and I have been buddies for a long time,
Speaker 3: but I couldn't place exactly when we met.
Speaker 5: So I'm watching the episode last.
Speaker 3: Night and I had this vague memory like this is familiar.
Speaker 3: The scene comes on and immediately I see you, Immediately
Speaker 3: I see Jack immediately and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: and like everything came back to me being there with
Speaker 3: you guys. So stretched do you remember how it all
Speaker 3: went down?
Speaker 5: How?
Speaker 3: So basically for people listening, they're eating in the diner.
Speaker 3: It's very focused on Scott slash Luke and you guys
Speaker 3: are very clearly in the scene.
Speaker 1: As you're in there.
Speaker 4: They're in the background at the table behind the cash
Speaker 4: register if you're looking down the counter.
Speaker 6: And uh Luke is there with a it's like a
Speaker 6: team of little girls, like a baseball team or whatever,
Speaker 6: a celebratory dinner. And all I remember about that that
Speaker 6: actual scene was there having problems with the girls, and
Speaker 6: we weren it was late at night. We were getting
Speaker 6: to where they couldn't film with kids anymore, and they
Speaker 6: were trying to get.
Speaker 2: That scene done and it was a nightmare.
Speaker 1: Right, Gosh, I don't remember any of that. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: so we were having some struggles with the kids.
Speaker 4: Huh. Yeah, it's you know, it's it's it's hard even
Speaker 4: if you have a table full of adults. It takes forever,
Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, you know, those scenes are populated at
Speaker 4: tables and you got to get everybody's coverage and it
Speaker 4: takes forever. It just takes a long time. Table scenes
Speaker 4: are takes a long time and there's multiple people. But yeah,
Speaker 4: what else can you tell us?
Speaker 3: How did it go down stretch? So explain what you
Speaker 3: were doing at the time, Like.
Speaker 2: Here's what happened.
Speaker 6: We had the Jamie and Danny radio show which was
Speaker 6: on Star ninety eight, and Jack and I were the producers,
Speaker 6: and Danny, being Danny Bonaducci, was a fun guy to
Speaker 6: work with who liked the undercut Jack and I on
Speaker 6: like sponsorship opportunities and try to like swipe money from us.
Speaker 6: So Danny's biggest love in the world was to be
Speaker 6: on television and to be famous. So one day I
Speaker 6: was talking to Amy, who booked all of our talent,
Speaker 6: and I go, Amy, can you get us on some
Speaker 6: of these shows? And she goes, well, what do you mean,
Speaker 6: I go just anywhere on these shows? And then Amy
Speaker 6: starts killing it and getting us on all of these
Speaker 6: television shows as extras. And we did it just to
Speaker 6: aggravate Bonaducci. That's the only reason we did it.
Speaker 2: And I'm not kidding. We were doing like one a week.
Speaker 6: And what was cool about Gilmore Girls is like Matt
Speaker 6: Zooprie was a real good friend of the show.
Speaker 2: He used to come on the show a lot.
Speaker 6: Matt was a really good guy and we were friends
Speaker 6: with Matt, so we had a We had a great
Speaker 6: relationship with him.
Speaker 2: And then that happened.
Speaker 6: And when Amy called the people at Gilmore Girls, They're like, sure,
Speaker 6: come on in, and they put us in the Lukes
Speaker 6: Tigers seat.
Speaker 1: Oh that's funny, you know what.
Speaker 5: It all came back to me. I was like, I
Speaker 5: can't even believe this is happening. I recognize you guys immediately.
Speaker 3: And I have to say, first of all, Jack got
Speaker 3: a lot more screen time than you because of the
Speaker 3: way the sea was shot, and he was excellent, Like
Speaker 3: he was eating fake eating the burger, and like the
Speaker 3: server comes up to the table and he does like
Speaker 3: the nod like yeah, I'd love some work totchup or whatever,
Speaker 3: and then you see you and YouTube dudes are just
Speaker 3: fully in the scene, like very prominent.
Speaker 6: It was so weird about that is because obviously if
Speaker 6: you're an extra, you can't speak because the microphones are
Speaker 6: picking up the real actors in the room, so they
Speaker 6: tell us have a conversation, but don't say anything, so.
Speaker 7: We're like, what how do you do that?
Speaker 6: So Jack and I are saying they're eating the food
Speaker 6: and then like having a conversation with no words coming out,
Speaker 6: very unnatural for non actors such as ourselves.
Speaker 4: Yeah, people tend to overdo that and make their mouth
Speaker 4: movements are too big and their expressions are too big.
Speaker 4: And then they got to cut and they got to
Speaker 4: talk to him saying, listen, just tone it down. You know,
Speaker 4: it's hard. It's a hard thing to do. It's not
Speaker 4: an easy thing to do. You know, it's clanking silverware.
Speaker 4: They tell you to stop clanking the silver warre and
Speaker 4: you just you know, they're just trying to do a
Speaker 4: good job.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Well, you guys, I think Jack was really eating because
Speaker 3: I saw him take an actual bite of that burger,
Speaker 3: Like it was really.
Speaker 2: No, they gave us real food, I'll give them that.
Speaker 6: We did shows where they didn't give us real food,
Speaker 6: like they'd give you the ice cream which is really
Speaker 6: mashed potatoes, you know. But but on Gilmore Girls, we
Speaker 6: got real food. It was like cold French Friesenbergs. We
Speaker 6: weren't eating the real food, we really were, But I love.
Speaker 5: What we loved.
Speaker 3: So we discovered this in our last episode when I
Speaker 3: told I was freaking out because I just watched it
Speaker 3: late last night and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: it's amazing and all these memories are coming back to me.
Speaker 3: And Scott remembered it like Scott got to approve you guys.
Speaker 2: So well, thank you, Scott.
Speaker 1: They know they were nice.
Speaker 4: They were kind enough and respectful enough that they were
Speaker 4: coming into my workspace and they wanted a favor and
Speaker 4: they asked my permission and I said sure, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 5: And it was definitely James Pettitt because we were so
Speaker 5: tight with him. Wait, I can't even remember. Can you
Speaker 5: remember what other shows you were on as background actors?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, we did a somehow on Mad TV.
Speaker 6: We ended up doing a whole sketch like with dialogue
Speaker 6: and everything, which was weird. And then we were on Queens,
Speaker 6: and then we were on that soap opera that got
Speaker 6: canceled on NBC. I don't remember the show, soap opera Passions. Yes,
Speaker 6: we were on Passions, and then there was another one
Speaker 6: and we did uh.
Speaker 2: And the movie was separate.
Speaker 6: When we did we did a scene in a movie
Speaker 6: that got cut and we never even made the outtakes.
Speaker 3: No, I was telling everybody is like, because people obviously
Speaker 3: are listening all over the country that you guys were
Speaker 3: like big radio guys in LA. But the thing that's
Speaker 3: so interesting about you, Stretch, and it's another full circle moment,
Speaker 3: is we do this podcast, which Scott's Stretch. When I
Speaker 3: first I didn't have your number. I had your wife's number,
Speaker 3: so I had to text your wife. Although then the
Speaker 3: crazy thing is you've had the same number since we
Speaker 3: did this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it never changed. I think this is an iheartphone still.
Speaker 3: So what's crazy is Stretch. If you wikipedia podcasting and
Speaker 3: like the origins of podcasting.
Speaker 5: You're in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you had one of the first What was
Speaker 3: the deal you guys were doing podcast?
Speaker 5: What year was that?
Speaker 6: Well, two thousand and seven we started doing a daily podcast.
Speaker 2: We got canceled on Star.
Speaker 6: They pulled the plug on us, and then we're like,
Speaker 6: we'll just do a podcast, and we did a subscription
Speaker 6: podcast for thirteen years.
Speaker 2: We did that.
Speaker 6: Jack and I and then Jamie was with us for
Speaker 6: a little while and then I pulled the plug on
Speaker 6: the Jack and Stretch show only because I went and
Speaker 6: started doing a streaming thing and I did that for
Speaker 6: three and I literally just stopped that in June, and
Speaker 6: now I'm doing another podcast by myself.
Speaker 3: Like it's so crazy. If you wikipedia podcasting there, you
Speaker 3: guys are. It was like way ahead of its time, Like, wait, Scott,
Speaker 3: how long have we been doing this show?
Speaker 5: Three years?
Speaker 1: A couple of what?
Speaker 5: I haven't been doing this three years?
Speaker 1: Three?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so we've been doing this three years already.
Speaker 3: If we're in season six, oh mon, it's like two
Speaker 3: seasons a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, basically we will over three hundred episodes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm stretched because I literally called him. That's why
Speaker 3: I look like a wreck, because I've called him.
Speaker 5: I had to take a shower. I had to get
Speaker 5: to you, and I said, I do.
Speaker 3: This Gilmore Girls podcast with Scott Patterson.
Speaker 5: And he goes, oh my god, okay, and I go,
Speaker 5: and millions of people.
Speaker 7: Every wit and stretch.
Speaker 3: You want to know why Scott is stuck with me,
Speaker 3: Tara and Suzanne and Danielle Romo, who you might remember
Speaker 3: as the co host.
Speaker 4: Because we didn't have any money.
Speaker 3: We're able to do a deal with Scott, but we're like,
Speaker 3: we don't have any money for.
Speaker 5: You to talk to anybody.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I sucked up all the dollars, didn't I. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I said I sucked up all the money, didn't I?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: No, actually not no, that's not true at all.
Speaker 4: So you know, the one question want an ask a stretch, yeah,
Speaker 4: is what was the the reaction from Danny Bonaducci. Did
Speaker 4: you get to enjoy his reaction?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Too, So tell us about the first time he realized
Speaker 4: that you guys like because you're playing kind of a
Speaker 4: practical joke on him almost right, So you were doing
Speaker 4: this to get under his skin.
Speaker 1: So tell us how it got under his skin.
Speaker 6: Oh, it ate him alive because this guy just wanted
Speaker 6: to be on you know. He he would be the
Speaker 6: guy that if they want to do a bit on
Speaker 6: like the Tonight Show or whatever they need, like a
Speaker 6: joke on the street, they'd call Danny.
Speaker 2: He'd be like, I'll do it, I'll do it. He'd
Speaker 2: do anything.
Speaker 6: But all of a sudden, we're getting on real shows,
Speaker 6: like real shows.
Speaker 2: And he it was eating him alive and driving him crazy.
Speaker 6: It had every response that we wanted because he did
Speaker 6: not like that we were all of a sudden on
Speaker 6: these real shows and you know, we were just having fun.
Speaker 2: We weren't trying to be actors.
Speaker 6: We were just you know, having fun on shows that
Speaker 6: we liked and people that we had his.
Speaker 2: Guests on the radio show.
Speaker 6: So it didn't be a great, great experience for us,
Speaker 6: and it absolutely.
Speaker 2: Achieved its goal of getting undertakin.
Speaker 3: And it's where my love for Matt Zuker comes from,
Speaker 3: because he was really like an up and comer, like
Speaker 3: he was sort of just starting and he would come
Speaker 3: on all the time and we all just loved him.
Speaker 3: He's exactly because he's the sweetest guy ever. Asked Scott, like,
Speaker 3: is he not?
Speaker 2: We were mean to him? We were mean, Let's be honest.
Speaker 2: Matt was dating uh Kate Bosworth at the time.
Speaker 6: Or he had just with them and went with Orlando
Speaker 6: Bloom and he would come on with us and we
Speaker 6: would make fun of him constantly about it.
Speaker 2: Personal life.
Speaker 1: But that's why.
Speaker 4: But that's why you love Maddie is because he's just
Speaker 4: such a good natured guy and he doesn't take it
Speaker 4: personally and he just you know, he's just a good dude.
Speaker 5: Man, such a good dude.
Speaker 2: Oh, he was such a good guy. And I was like, man,
Speaker 2: where not nice to him? Why is he so nice?
Speaker 2: To us.
Speaker 3: The craziest thing is at the time stretch. I don't
Speaker 3: know if you know this, but this episode is directed
Speaker 3: by Kenny Ortega, who is like really has gone on
Speaker 3: to be quite prolific and like did high school musical,
Speaker 3: Like you had like an award winning director directing you
Speaker 3: how to Eat that Burger?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 6: I looked at the cast, like right before we went on,
Speaker 6: I go, I get to see everybody was on there.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that were on that show. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's a real proving ground for me.
Speaker 4: It was like a launching pad the way Seinfeld was
Speaker 4: a launching pad for a lot of unknown actors.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Mila, Melissa McCarthy, Scott Patterson was on there.
Speaker 4: John Ham, oh sure, Adam Brodie, oh Adam Oh gosh,
Speaker 4: we love Adam Roady.
Speaker 5: Yeah no, it was like amazing. I don't know how
Speaker 5: I got you ont.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 3: Well, And what's crazy is this is a kind of
Speaker 3: an epic episode because there's scenes in this episode that
Speaker 3: are totally viral on TikTok. Not your particular scene, but
Speaker 3: other scenes that have just been played over and over again.
Speaker 3: And you were on you know, you were on in
Speaker 3: two thousand and five people have continued to watch the show.
Speaker 5: Now, Like I said, there's a million people.
Speaker 6: That listen to this, you know, it's funny on the reruns.
Speaker 6: Every now and then someone the screenshot and be like, there.
Speaker 3: If you know you guys, you immediately no, it's you,
Speaker 3: Like it didn't take me but a blink. I was like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, and just everything came. Do you remember
Speaker 3: if so, I remember being there that night. I definitely came.
Speaker 3: And what I can't remember is if Jamie came or
Speaker 3: if Robert Lyles came. Because James Pettitt, while you guys
Speaker 3: were doing the scene with Scott, we went on a
Speaker 3: tour of the set.
Speaker 6: It was Robert. Jamie wouldn't show up because remember Jamie
Speaker 6: was the true evil one. She was the one that
Speaker 6: was really mean, the Matt and everyone else she came across,
Speaker 6: so she wouldn't dare step foot at a place like that.
Speaker 6: But it was Jack and I and then Robert came
Speaker 6: to make sure Jack and I behaved because if I
Speaker 6: believe The Gilmore Girls was probably the first one we
Speaker 6: did when we started this mission to annoy Danny.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, and it was late like it was late.
Speaker 6: It was late because we get up at three o'clock
Speaker 6: in the morning. It seemed like it went way into
Speaker 6: the night. But I know it couldn't have gone too
Speaker 6: late with the kids, but it was. They were up
Speaker 6: against the time with using those children, I know, and
Speaker 6: they were really trying to get that scene done.
Speaker 1: The kids out. They can't be there.
Speaker 5: Oh my god. And Scott totally remembered. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So this is when I met Scott, either the first
Speaker 3: time or second time that I met Scott. And like,
Speaker 3: look at us now, Like, poor Scott has to talk
Speaker 3: to me almost every day.
Speaker 2: Poor Scott.
Speaker 1: That's why I get the big bucks, Amy, why I
Speaker 1: get him.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 6: Oh, it was a fun time though. It was a
Speaker 6: real fun time. And you know what was so cool
Speaker 6: about it. Every show we did, everyone was so nice
Speaker 6: to us. And you know, we were just extras where
Speaker 6: they could have just ignored us, but everyone was always
Speaker 6: super cool to us. And it was fun and and
Speaker 6: Gilmore girl said, I'm pretty sure it was our first
Speaker 6: one and it was a great experience.
Speaker 2: We loved doing it. It was a blast.
Speaker 4: A lot of people tried to get on that set.
Speaker 4: You know, a lot of a lot of a lot
Speaker 4: of people. Man, we had requests all the time. They
Speaker 4: just wanted to watch in video village or can be
Speaker 4: an extra, And it was just gosh, we're just flooded
Speaker 4: with requests like this.
Speaker 5: You're lucky. You're lucky.
Speaker 3: Scott approved you.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 2: I know it was crazy. Is we just did it?
Speaker 2: We don't. We don't think about that.
Speaker 6: You know, we have our behind the scenes, but we
Speaker 6: don't know what's going on in there, behind the scenes
Speaker 6: to make it all happen, to get it in there.
Speaker 4: So what did you what did you think about the
Speaker 4: whole process of making a scene? Did you guys ever
Speaker 4: get bored at one point, like, god, how can they
Speaker 4: do this? And it's like so many takes and yeah.
Speaker 2: Because the one camera shoot thing.
Speaker 6: So they would shoot it, move the camera, shoot it,
Speaker 6: move the cameras shoot it right, Are you serious?
Speaker 1: It was that one little scene all right? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Like, how did you do an hour long drama? Like
Speaker 6: it doesn't seem like you could do it in a week.
Speaker 1: Well it's eight d eight working days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know you're it takes you know, twelve
Speaker 4: to fifteen hours a day. Yeah, of that moving the
Speaker 4: camera round yeah, that's how they do it. I always
Speaker 4: thought there might be a better way if they just
Speaker 4: had like tiny little cameras set up all over the
Speaker 4: place and then they could just sort of edit all
Speaker 4: that same shot together from different angles.
Speaker 1: But what do I know.
Speaker 6: I mean, we're coming from radio world, so here we
Speaker 6: are like we just turned the microphone phones on a
Speaker 6: wing it every.
Speaker 1: Day, right, exactly.
Speaker 5: We do here.
Speaker 4: It's it's it's the lighting. You know, the lighting is
Speaker 4: the issue always, right, So they've got to move the
Speaker 4: camera and then got change of lighting, make sure you're
Speaker 4: lit well. And that's why they can't have multiple cameras.
Speaker 4: So sometimes they have two cameras going at once. Sometimes
Speaker 4: I don't know if they ever had three going, but
Speaker 4: two you know, one camera will get a medium shot
Speaker 4: from your waist up and then the other camera, B
Speaker 4: camera will get a close up.
Speaker 1: Well, they didn't really do close up on Gilmore's, but
Speaker 1: on this Sullivan new show I'm doing, they do.
Speaker 5: Close is your show now? One camera.
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's two. No, no, it's a single camera shure. Yeah,
Speaker 4: But I mean they do have when they pop in
Speaker 4: to do the coverage, they'll set up two cameras a
Speaker 4: lot of the Times, so they get two pieces of
Speaker 4: coverage at the same time with different sizes.
Speaker 1: It's different lens size.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you have one more question before we go.
Speaker 3: Would Kenny be in that diner or is he in
Speaker 3: video Village?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No, he's in Dozies.
Speaker 3: Okay, So he was in Dozies when you were shooting
Speaker 3: in the diner and the video village.
Speaker 4: Yeah, video village is set up in Dozies or actually
Speaker 4: behind Actually it's behind Dozy's Market.
Speaker 1: Okay, well maybe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's behind Dosi's Market, and there's the there's
Speaker 4: just an area that's not you know, it's not a set,
Speaker 4: it's just sort of like kind of a dead space,
Speaker 4: and it's where they have craft service and the video
Speaker 4: village sets up there.
Speaker 1: But it might might be in Dozies.
Speaker 3: But and then would he come into the diner to
Speaker 3: give you notes or whatever or if you need it?
Speaker 5: It was awesome.
Speaker 2: Where was the mastion bock? That's what I was wondering.
Speaker 1: Wherever he was, he was probably upside down.
Speaker 4: Oh oh my god, Stretch, you're the best.
Speaker 5: Thanks for coming on.
Speaker 3: Literally blew him up.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I did realize was so good at
Speaker 5: my job.
Speaker 3: I blew him up this morning, like at the crack
Speaker 3: of dawn.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh my god, call me, Sawan.
Speaker 4: Know this could lead this could really really piss off
Speaker 4: Danny Bonaducci.
Speaker 1: This really could get under his This is.
Speaker 3: Eighteen years later, Stretch is still.
Speaker 1: Still still still aggravating the gut.
Speaker 4: You could go on multiple like Amy could hook you
Speaker 4: up with all the podcasts you can really just look,
Speaker 4: we're glad we can help you. Annoy Danny vana Ducci
