1
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,600

00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: Thriller, Killer Thriller. That sounds Is it too dramatic?

4
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: I wondered if no, No, you don't think that Tyler's dramatic.

5
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: You think so.

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 4: Yes, that's what we're talking about, Killer Thriller.

7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: And yes we have an aunt which is exciting because

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: it's not just Amy and TJ Presents Killer Thriller. It's

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: Amy and TJ Presents Killer Thriller with Alisa Donovan.

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 3: Oh yes, and a lot of people know that name

11
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: and I don't know that history. But a lot of

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: people haven't done what we have now been able to do,

13
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: which is be stuck in LA traffic.

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: Which is what we just did all the way here.

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 4: Yes, was that not the best way to get to

16
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 4: know each other.

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 5: It was not that we wanted to have to do

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 5: it again, but like it kind of was.

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: We made the most of La traffic, one of the

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: things that La is known for, but we turned it

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: into lemonade.

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 5: It's like we had fifteen different conversations and looked out

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 5: the window.

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 4: We were in the same place.

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: We really go anywhere out of the car. Anyone who

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: lives in La probably has experienced this as well.

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: Even in New York.

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: We've done this too, Get out of the cab because

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: you aren't going anywhere, and we walked it, and we

30
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: are so excited because we're talking about a new true

31
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: crime podcast and you are obviously a well we're of

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: a certain age. So the nineties you were everywhere. For

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: those who need an introduction to Alisa Donovan. If you

34
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: loved the movie Clueless, who didn't, you might remember her

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: as Amber from Clueless. And also we were this was

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: so funny Beverly Hills nine o two one zero. I

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: was a huge fan and you played I love you

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: played like the bad.

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 5: Ginger Leah Monica, who sounds that it's like that, what

40
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 5: is it when a word sounds like what it is?

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 4: Yes, that's close to that character.

42
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: How close?

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 5: When I did Tory and Jenny's podcast over there rewatching

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 5: it and so they send me the episodes that I

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 5: was like a little I'm a little embarrassed by my behavior.

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 5: Like again, she really has like she had some balls attitude. No,

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 5: I wish I had her confidence. I wish I had

48
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 5: her confidence. I mean maybe on the inside in the car.

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: Ride here, you seem to have that confidence I did.

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: Isn't that we got to?

51
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 3: That is an interesting way in all Seriously, this is

52
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: a true story, folks. The way we have just gotten

53
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: to know is stuck in LA traffic and we literally

54
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: got out and walked down the street with her. This

55
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: is our introduction how we got to It's.

56
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: Kind of amazing, right, Like it's never gonna not be great,

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 4: just know igue we couldn't remain.

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Up all right, So A Lisa, tell us your fascination

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: what your connection is to true crime?

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 5: I I mean, I think I am not alone here.

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 5: I have a like a borderline disturbing obsession with it,

62
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 5: and I'm not quite sure, you know, I've tried to

63
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 5: figure out what this is, and then I realized, well,

64
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 5: it's not just me. So I think we have such

65
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 5: a desire to understand human behavior, and like we human

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 5: beings are are like just we can't explain so much

67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 5: about how we behave and I think we find it

68
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 5: absolutely impossible to believe sometimes that someone could commit some

69
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: of these truly heinous crimes. And then when you kind

70
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 5: of put all the pieces together and you walk down

71
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 5: the path.

72
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: You say Oh, oh wow.

73
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 5: I guess I can sort of imagine. That's how I

74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: look at it, like, oh, I want to understand how

75
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 5: someone could get to this place, you know, and so

76
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: often these things like certainly mental illness is one thing,

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 5: but sometimes these things are based in other issues, you know, where.

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 4: It's really about loss or passion or.

79
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 5: True like really needing to survive.

80
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: You know.

81
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 5: There are so many different things that we come across

82
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 5: that cause people to do these things, and so I

83
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 5: am truly obsessed and I feel like there is you know,

84
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 5: as an actor, I've never played a real person before

85
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 5: who has existed in history, and I think you know,

86
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 5: any kind of prep you're doing as an actor, you're

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 5: always trying to understand who they are, where they come from,

88
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 5: why they do the things they do.

89
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: And if you're playing.

90
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 5: A real person, it's just a whole other level, right

91
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 5: of how do you get inside that person? Yes, how

92
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 5: do you find the positive things to a person who's

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 5: done catastrophic things? How do you humanize them on all

94
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 5: of that but also then show them respect? Right, there's

95
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 5: something And if you're playing the other family members, lawyers,

96
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 5: people who have this really specific and unique experience with

97
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 5: these situations. There's like a real amount of of.

98
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 4: Just respect that you have to show.

99
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 5: And I'm so interested to talk to the people from

100
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 5: the creative side of how they approach these characters. Do

101
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 5: they get to go to the places where these things happen?

102
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 5: How much real access? How much license do you give

103
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 5: yourself to say I am playing this real person. But

104
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 5: I also have to kind of do my own version

105
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 5: of that. So it's just I'm really excited to go

106
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 5: down that path. And then also I get to it's

107
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 5: my job. I have to watch these things. I have to,

108
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 5: oh my job to.

109
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Watch True Crime Specialists, which is just so laborious and boring. No,

110
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: that's exciting to get to consume what you love and

111
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: then talk about the process of how you portray this.

112
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: Explain to us or at least to the listeners, what

113
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: this new show format is going to be. How are

114
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: you approaching true crime in this podcast form?

115
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 5: So we're approaching it from the standpoint of the series

116
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 5: and the films that are recreating and telling.

117
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 4: The story of these crimes.

118
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: I e.

119
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 5: The Murder Murders is one that has recently been right

120
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 5: been on TV and that series is obviously goes through

121
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 5: the process of Alec Murda and the murder of his

122
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 5: wife and his son. And so we will interview one

123
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 5: of the actors from the SHO show, talk to them

124
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 5: about their their process, how how involved in the case

125
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 5: did they did they get how did they sort of

126
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 5: separate themselves, how did they prepare for this, and how

127
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 5: did it impact their own lives? You know, because so

128
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 5: much of this Also when we're watching as viewers, I

129
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 5: think for myself anyway, you you know, you're you're looking

130
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 5: at your own life, but you're you're looking at it

131
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 5: from this standpoint of as I said, kind of you know,

132
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: how do we how can we do these things? Like

133
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: how can human beings be so profoundly beautiful and kind

134
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 5: and loving and then so profoundly dark? And how do

135
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 5: we how do we keep existing as human beings? You know,

136
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 5: we see these things, We have children, we have people

137
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 5: we care about, Like it's I feel that there was

138
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 5: really a way to humanize these things that will make

139
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: us less uh sensitized, because that's also something that I

140
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 5: think about a lot that you know, we can't there

141
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 5: are terrible things that happen, you know, and it's important

142
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 5: for us to really understand these things and not become

143
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 5: desensitized to them. And I feel like if we can

144
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 5: talk about it, kind of breaking down how you approach

145
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: these people and how because telling these sorts of stories is, uh,

146
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 5: it's a lot of weight to carry, you know, and

147
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 5: it's not it's not simple. And so I'm interested in

148
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 5: that crossing of the creative and the real life because

149
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 5: I think as artist, certainly myself as an artist, the

150
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 5: older that I get and the more work that I do,

151
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 5: it's like you sort of incorporate your life into everything,

152
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 5: Like my creativity is inherently part of my life and

153
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 5: vice versa. So it's sort of I'm really interested in,

154
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 5: you know, talking about those things and merging them.

155
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: Do you think some of the stuff we see a

156
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: lot of the stories we see and we all watch

157
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: a lot of true crime, is it your opinion that

158
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: most of us are capable of some of this stuff

159
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: just were not in those circumstances.

160
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: Or I think a lot of what.

161
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: We're seeing is these people are anomalies, because it doesn't

162
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: feel like that to me necessarily.

163
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 4: It doesn't feel that way to me either.

164
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 5: I think that we want, we want to believe that,

165
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 5: we want to say these are outliers. These these are

166
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 5: the exceptions to the rule. But is this a part

167
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 5: This is a part of human nature. It is a

168
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 5: part of all of us, and it is really it's

169
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 5: just like I mean, I bring everything.

170
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 4: Back to Harry Potter, that there is there is a

171
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: good and bad.

172
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 5: It's a choice, right, and we are all driven by

173
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 5: the We all have the good and the bad in us.

174
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 5: And certainly, you know, things are they're extreme ends to

175
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 5: both of those things. But I don't think it's an anomaly,

176
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 5: you know, especially when we.

177
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 4: Life is hard. You know, life is hard.

178
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 5: Life is really beautiful too, but it's not easy, and

179
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 5: dependent upon how you respond to those things, how the environment,

180
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 5: your environment responds to you, the pressure can build. And

181
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 5: I always feel like, I don't know if it's because

182
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 5: I'm an actor that you sort of have to be

183
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 5: able to imagine all these things. But I always feel

184
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 5: like anyone is capable of anything, great things and small,

185
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 5: you know, And I think it's shortsighted to say otherwise,

186
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 5: to sort of put people in buckets, right, they go,

187
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 5: this is a great person, they only do great things

188
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 5: that it's terrible person, you know, And part of it

189
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: is like judgment we all have to have good judgment

190
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 5: right where we try to have good judgment.

191
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 4: So, but they're that great.

192
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 5: The middle, the middle bit is really where you know

193
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 5: most of us are.

194
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: What do you find you're drawn to? What type of

195
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: true crime stories? We We do a thing we call

196
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 3: murder in the Morning. We just started calling because we

197
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: wake up first thing in the morning, it's two, three,

198
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 3: four or five in the morning, and we turn the

199
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 3: TV on and we don't want to watch cartoons or news.

200
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: We turn on something to where a white has killed

201
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: her husband.

202
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: We are weird when the spouse kills.

203
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: So we're hoping I'm interested in that. I'm very interested in.

204
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 5: Spousal disputes, yes, and family sort of disputes, because.

205
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: I think that's like so ripe.

206
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 5: I mean, we all know it's all it's so relatable,

207
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 5: it's so relatable, and then it.

208
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: Just becomes to work.

209
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: Yes, women are always what it's nurses or nurses they

210
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: have a gambling addiction, yes, or credit.

211
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: Card corre and nurses have access to drugs.

212
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: But I feel like, look in that's some prime stories

213
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: that we watch. I feel like women are so sadistic,

214
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: like if a man's going to kill you it's just

215
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: going to be like quick, brutal, but quick women, we

216
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: will torture.

217
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 4: What you suffer.

218
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 5: And we've been planning it and planning it for ages and.

219
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 4: Watching it unfold because we can MULTITASKI.

220
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it is funny that we do love

221
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: some of these true crime stories. In fact, where we're

222
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: staying here in Brentwood, we did notice we were walking

223
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: to go pick up something and we were on Bundy,

224
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: so and of course, obviously o J. We looked it

225
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: up and we couldn't believe how close we were to

226
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: where the murders happened.

227
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 4: And I'm we're going on a run tomorrow. I was like,

228
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 4: I might have to run. I have to run by that.

229
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm telling you.

230
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: I remember in high school my English teacher called it

231
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: fascination with the abomination. I know, I had it from

232
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: the moment I was a kid.

233
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 5: So don't you think that's partly why you got into journalism,

234
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 5: I'm sure of course. And then also it's about having

235
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 5: a real curiosity about humanity and life, right, it's not

236
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 5: so this is this is the thing, like it doesn't

237
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 5: have to be exploitative, right in this way, it's actually

238
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 5: a true fascination that we have. It's like a curiosity.

239
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 5: If you're paying attention at all, you know, and have

240
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 5: a pulse, you can't be not affected by these things.

241
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: I was going to ask, do you think people are

242
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: born evil?

243
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: Are inherently evil? Maybe?

244
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: And selfish and you have to learn otherwise. I'm curious

245
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: where you fall on that. Is it a learned thing?

246
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: Are you born with it? Do you choose it?

247
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 5: This is, you know, one of the age old questions, right,

248
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 5: the eternal question. I feel like we are It is

249
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 5: based in the soul. So we come into this life

250
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 5: with a soul, and the soul's in the body, so

251
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 5: you're you know, you come with that, everybody you come with,

252
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 5: but the.

253
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: Soul is really there.

254
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 5: This is my personal belief and that you're here on

255
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 5: earth to work through things, and you have to work

256
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 5: through those things in a human way. So what you're

257
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 5: working through is going to be different than what I'm

258
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 5: working through. There might be some crossover, you know, but

259
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 5: sort of like the big task of being alive is

260
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 5: individual with all sorts of crossovers. So the good or

261
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 5: bad thing, you know, and I think about this, you know,

262
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 5: when you have a child, when I have my daughter.

263
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 4: I remember thinking.

264
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 5: Before I was like, oh, you know, I mom and

265
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: I have adore in my mother, but we have a

266
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 5: complicated relationship, you know. So I was always like, oh,

267
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have a boy. It's better, I'm gonna have

268
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 5: a boy.

269
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 4: I'm definitely having a boy. I was like, he's gonna

270
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 4: wear bow ties. I was like doing things.

271
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 5: And then when I was pregnant in the middle of

272
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 5: like maybe like four or five months, I remember we

273
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 5: were on this vacation, my cousin and I and I

274
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 5: was like, oh, I think I'm having a girl. I

275
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 5: think I'm having a girl. And we hadn't found out yet,

276
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 5: like at that time she's thirteen. Now you couldn't. It

277
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: was later when you could find out the gender.

278
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 4: Yes, so at any rate.

279
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 5: And I was like, I feel like I had this

280
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 5: and to me, I know you're going to be like

281
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 5: I'm looney Tunes. I feel like that was like the

282
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 5: moment where it's like her soul came, chose me, here

283
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 5: we go, and it like shifted. Now you might have

284
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 5: always been the case, and my mind was like I'm

285
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 5: just gonna have a boy because it'll be easier for me.

286
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: It'll be better for me.

287
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 5: We all have girls, yes, And now, of course I

288
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 5: wouldn't change this for the world, you know. But so

289
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 5: my point being that she like, once she came out

290
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 5: and was here, I fully understood. Oh, I'm like the

291
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 5: vessel that brought her here. But she is her own thing,

292
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 5: and we are like here, I'm here to give her

293
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 5: my moral guidelines and to give her my support and

294
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 5: show her how, you know, my husband and I how

295
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 5: we feel about the world now we do things. But

296
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 5: she is her own person, like one hundred percent her

297
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 5: own person, and I don't ever want to change that.

298
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 5: Like I celebrate that, you know. Sometimes that's why we

299
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 5: butt heads and why we have, you know, sort of

300
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 5: some trouble. But it's like you just go, oh, we really.

301
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 4: Are all individuals, you know, we really are.

302
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 5: So I think it's that was a really long winded answer,

303
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 5: but that's what I think.

304
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: You know.

305
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: My last question on the podcast and covering true crime

306
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: is I just want to hear your take. And sometimes

307
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 3: it's a criticism of it's a morbid curiosity, and people

308
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: take it as sometimes you are profiting or using someone's

309
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 3: pain or painful story as a part of entertainment, and

310
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: I get that to a certain degree. I never feel

311
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: like that and I'm watching true crime. But for folks

312
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: when that's out there, where do you come down in

313
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: that idea that what we're seeing is sometimes more of

314
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: a curiosity, sometimes entertainment. But I see it and it

315
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 3: sounds like you see it a little differently, And why

316
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 3: it's important to be telling it because there's so much

317
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: true crime out the stories, I mean, the shows are

318
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 3: a little ridiculous coming they are out there.

319
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 2: But take on that idea, I.

320
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 4: Would say two things.

321
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 5: One, when people are in pain, and I have known

322
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 5: people who have gone through just unimaginable, unspeakable pain. They

323
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 5: don't want to not.

324
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 4: Talk about it, they actually have to. And the more

325
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 4: that people ignore it or say like.

326
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 5: Oh, don't bring it up, don't bring it up, you know, like,

327
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 5: let's not upset her, it's you're doing them a disservice

328
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 5: because they're thinking about it all the time.

329
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: Right.

330
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 5: So if there's a part of this that can be very,

331
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 5: very healing to people, I think when it's done respectfully

332
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 5: and well. And then the other part of it is

333
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 5: as a creative person, it's like it's a it's a

334
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 5: calling to be a creative person as an actor and

335
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 5: not to get to like get my violin out here,

336
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 5: but truly, so we're like doing a service, like it's

337
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 5: a calling. We're artists, So you really are imbuing this

338
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 5: with humanity and with truth. And you know, in a

339
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 5: prit not everything is you know, Shakespeare or oscar Worthy,

340
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 5: but you know, I think everybody that's the goal is

341
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 5: to do good work and to show respect for something,

342
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 5: and I think that it can be revelatory for people

343
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 5: and you know, even healing at sometimes.

344
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: And to get people excited about this new podcast, Killer Thriller,

345
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: which we're very excited about. Can you give us an

346
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: idea of the stories that you're interested in right now

347
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: that you're hoping to tell. I know you're going to

348
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 1: focus on some of the actors who portray some of

349
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: the worst people in the world and what that's like

350
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: to walk in those bodies and to try to get

351
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: into those mindsets, which I can't imagine what that's like

352
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: as an actor. But what are the stories that you're

353
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: hoping to share or some of the true crime elements

354
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: that folks can look forward to on this podcast.

355
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 5: So we're going to do new shows that are very topical,

356
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 5: like the Murder Murderers, the Menendez Brothers A week don't

357
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 5: ever seem to want to let them go, but something

358
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 5: is always shifting in their story, dis fascinating the new ones.

359
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 5: Who is the one the guy? There are a few

360
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 5: that I would like to just put it out there

361
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 5: that I hope they will make soon. I'm sure there's

362
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:03,960

Speaker 4: We have watched it all day every day.

365
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 5: I hope somebody is writing that right now. I really

366
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 5: hope that they are.

367
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 4: And OJ s O J.

368
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 5: Simpson never goes away, never never, and that those shows

369
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 5: the versace some of these people like Jason Clark and

370
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 5: Murder Murders that series. He is like otherworldly. He is

371
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 5: so phenomenal in this show. Everybody is, the whole cast

372
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 5: is really quite wonderful, but he is like.

373
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 4: On another level.

374
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 5: And the transformation that this guy does from the first

375
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 5: episode to the end, it's like you it's.

376
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 4: Like you're watching a mad man. I just it is.

377
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 5: He's so spectacular and they're all great, Like everybody is wonderful,

378
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 5: isn't it whisht All that like, it's a terrific cast,

379
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 5: but he's amazing. And in the the OJ series People

380
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 5: Versus OJ, Sarah Paulson is like also Marcia Clark, she

381
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 5: nails credible. She's so good at.

382
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 3: Lobby for Courtney b Vance to get an oscar for

383
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 3: a show that was on TV.

384
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 4: Yes, incredible.

385
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: Yes so, And these are people that really are imbuing

386
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 5: these people with humanity, you know.

387
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the cool parts about

388
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: it because it's not just the killer or the evil doers.

389
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 4: The people, it's the people around around.

390
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 5: Yes, these stories and in many ways those people are

391
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 5: especially particularly in the murder murders in that series, the

392
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 5: way they show it, the family and the police officers

393
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 5: and all of those people, like they have such a

394
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 5: unique importance because many of them were either afraid to

395
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 5: speak up we're like a party to the whole thing,

396
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 5: or just really you know, had no resources and had

397
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 5: no other opportunity, like didn't how to sort of do

398
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 5: what was in front of them. And that's another piece

399
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 5: of these things. I think that's really important to see.

400
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 5: Sometimes people it's like their circumstances.

401
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 3: No, I always there was a common thread to most

402
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: of the stories we see often times quite frankly, it's poverty, yeah,

403
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: it's upbringing. It's all of these things that play into it.

404
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 3: That when you see a headline, yep, it's one thing

405
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: you think somebody's monstrous when you see there.

406
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 4: See the whole story what happened, certainly.

407
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: And I think that is important for us to constantly see.

408
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: We are so excited to partner with you.

409
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 4: I am so excited to partner with you too.

410
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 2: I love our heart relationship.

411
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 3: We didn't know where it was going, is turned into

412
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 3: this thing that where we are now able to have

413
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: moments we never thought, which included riding in that car

414
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 3: traffic in LA with you, and walking to get to it.

415
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: It's just really robes And I mean this. I'm saying

416
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 3: this from a personal standpoint. We have been through a

417
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 3: lot and we can never have imagined that we'd be

418
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: sitting in this room with you right now. But all

419
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 3: of that happened for us to get here, and we

420
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 3: I tell you, at least, we are so happy to

421
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 3: be where we are right now, which is in.

422
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: A room with you.

423
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 3: So we are so grateful that is beautiful. We're willing

424
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 3: to come on and work with us, that we are

425
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 3: looking forward to what you have to offer.

426
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 4: I cannot wait. That was beautifully said, and I really

427
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 4: I'm just so happy for the two of you. It's like,

428
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 4: you know, it really is.

429
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 5: Sometimes we got to go through things, yes, but I will.

430
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 5: I also want to say, it isn't just like going

431
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 5: through it. Then you have to you have to to

432
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 5: actually live right, like nobody is going to just provide

433
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 5: you the happy life that you have.

434
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

435
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 5: And I that's not the prize for going through it.

436
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 5: It's like you have to actually still contribute to it.

437
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 5: And you too have made that, you know, Thank you,

438
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 5: thank you.

439
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: And I do think we've all like part of funny enough.

440
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: What drew us together, part of our bond while we

441
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: were just friends and colleagues, was this fascination probably why

442
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: we got into journalism as well with true crime. What

443
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: makes people take this curiosity into human nature and what

444
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: makes people do what they do and say what they say,

445
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: and to be able to talk about it with people

446
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: who you respect and people who you love, and knowing

447
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: that we're all just looking for better understanding of one another.

448
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: I think that's part of what true crime is it's

449
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: not just about the ooh and the ah and the

450
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: shock value. That's actually about learning and understanding and going deeper.

451
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: So we love how how you're approaching this where you're

452
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: going to take this new podcast, and we're so excited

453
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,720

Speaker 1: can't wait to listen to the first episode and then

455
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: we can have these meet and greets and catch up

456
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: sessions to talk about. I love watching what we're fascinated

457
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: by and just to see the creative process that takes

458
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: place to tell these stories for folks, for it to

459
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: come alive for folks, for it to resonate with people.

460
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: I think that's so cool about what you do as

461
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: an actor, and we can't wait to see what you

462
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: have for all of us. We'll be listening to the podcast, yeah,
