63
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: some sort of boat. It's something I discovered about myself

64
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: recently because I don't go on many boats, and I

65
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: was like, what is this silence in my mind? This

66
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: is really lovely. Yeah. I like hiking. I like being

67
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: in the trees and kind of lost on the path. Yeah. Yeah,

68
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I love to be in the mountains too. But it's funny.

69
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: When you mentioned a boat, the first thing that came

70
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: to my mind. I was like, Kayty, we gotta we

71
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: gotta take Jenny to the up Oh yeah, you just

72

74
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: of season something I can't wait. I'm trying to get

75
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: my husband to like tramp, like to become sort of

76
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: sort of sailor, because I've realized how relaxed I am.

77
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: And he's like, I don't know anything about boats and

78
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: I don't have any skills or like, but could have

79
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: become something you're passionate about because then he could drive it.

80
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: Maybe he would. Yeah, you never try to be like, hey, sailor,

81
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: like just sort of lay it in. I'll let you

82
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: know how it goes. If each of you could pick

83
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: a book that would be mandatory for high school students

84
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: to read, what book would you use? High School? I

85
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: don't know. Beloved Tony Morrison, but I don't know if

86
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: that's high school anything by Maya Angelo, Emotional Awareness by

87
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: Paul Ekman, the leading facial expression scientist, and the Dalai

88
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: Lama very good East West book. Tony Morrison's Beloved definitely cast.

89
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, you know, I recently read Bell

90
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Canto again. For me, it's like all about point of view.

91
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: It depends on how you look at things and like that.

92
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: That book for me was a really start to sort

93
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: of interesting conversation in my mind. What was the first

94
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: concert you ever went to? Either Backstreet Boys Are in

95
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: Sync Shaun Cassidy. The first concert I ever went to

96
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: was for the Used metha Man and Red Man at

97
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: the House of Blues in Chicago, the Police, Jay z

98
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: Fade Black Staples Center. Will never forget that. I think

99
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: it was The Moody Blues or Billy Joel. It was

100
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: with my dad, for sure, so that's not very cool.

101
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: Mine was with my friend's dad and it was Billy Joel,

102
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is perfect. Me and my friends

103
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: did our first concert without our parents, I think in

104
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: the eighth grade, and it was when Lauren Hill's record

105
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: came out and we saw Lauren Hill and Outcast. It

106
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: was the best, still one of the best concerts. It

107
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: was so cool. And we saw them at Universal City

108
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: Walk and our parents drove us and then sat in

109
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: the parking lot until we got out because they were

110
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: so nervous to let us go in like an amphitheater

111
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: by ourselves. And we were like, we are we are

112
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: fourteen years old, and we do not need you to

113
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: chaperone us. We're fine, And wow, what a what a night,

114
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: What a concert? What a concert. I'm curious about this.

115
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: For you guys, when you know that something is the

116
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: right thing for you, is there is there like a

117
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: feeling that arises in you. Is there name you can

118
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: ascribe to that. I think for me it's obsession, just

119
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: like I can't stop thinking about it, yeah yeah, or

120
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: like wanting to pitch it, or like pitch on it,

121
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: like like I think that's right, keep simmering up like

122
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: you can't let it go, A feeling of tempered confidence, euphoria.

123
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: That would be the feeling of certainty or providence. Providence

124
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: as well fizzing. I start to fizz, I can feel

125
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: it just tingling and anticipation. Do you know something good

126
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: is going to happen? I guess contentment. You know I

127
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: can just be content and feeling good about what is

128
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: going on. Okay, last question, what so far is a

129
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: memory that each of you cherishes from at current? The

130
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: first seven episodes we've done of our show, Well, I

131
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: would say like for me, I live for the moments

132
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: when people tell me that they like working working on

133
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: the show like that that makes it all worthwhile for

134
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: me that day, like no matter, it's just like if

135
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard day and then I find out

136
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: that somebody else is having a good time, that's like

137
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 1: completely reframes stuff and I'm grateful for every single reminder

138
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: every single day that it's not about me. And then

139
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: I like the more I can position myself visa to

140
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: be like how can I be useful and helpful to

141
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: this overall whole endeavor that I'm always better headspaced. So

142
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm really grateful every single time I know that somebody

143
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: else is happy. That keeps me going I really loved.

144
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: For me, like sitting on the stage with um, you

145
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: and Gina was a really special full circle moment where

146
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: we got to just talk and talk about it. Just

147
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: it felt very like, oh my gosh, I was so

148
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: excited for your guys, this connection and because you guys

149
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: are both such singular, um extraordinary people and leaders and

150
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: community members, and just thinking about like that those relationships

151
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: and how they grow and create more change an opportunity

152
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: was a really like just awesome feeling. There was one

153
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: night where we were shooting. We were outside, it was

154
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: super cold, super late, which is not great, but we're

155
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: also all a little loopy, and there was a take

156
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: where Davy took a bite of a prop and I

157
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: don't know if we were supposed to eat the prop,

158
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: and it just it just cracked us up and it

159
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: was so fun. And yeah, anytime we laugh on set

160
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: really or dance on set, you know, I just I

161
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: have to say it was sitting around we were on

162
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: the pilot, sitting in the hallway of some set, you know,

163
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: late late at night, in clothes that you know, our

164
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: characters not yours, you're uncomfortable, and figuring out what we

165
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: want to order to eat, and Sophia is always the best,

166
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: takes lead, always has that menu up and good foods

167
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: on its way. One of my fondest was sitting around

168
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: a country house table um listening to Gina tell us

169
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: about love and toasting to all of us coming together

170
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: to have a weekend together outside of work. The memory

171
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: that I have is when the cast and our our

172
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: lovely director, Gina Rodriguez, we all run in a farmhouse

173
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: and we just we just spent a couple of days

174
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: out there and it was just nice to kind of

175
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: connect with everybody and dance, laugh, eat um, to share stories,

176
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: do yoga. It was a great time. A memory that

177
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: I cherished while filming Season one of Good Sam is

178
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: definitely when everybody surprised me on my birthday. I was

179
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: kind of bummed because I was working the day of

180
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: and I was tricked into believing that I was setting

181
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: up for a shot, and outcomes Sophia and Jason with

182
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: donuts and everybody's saying and it just made me feel

183
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: really nice and lone and appreciated. A memory I cherish

184
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: that comes to mind during the filming of Good Sam

185
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: so far, being accepted wholeheartedly by the rest of the cast.

186
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: M I love that, I gotta say. And I was

187
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: so surprised because we've now seen it so many times,

188
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: all of us, But when when we watched the pilot

189
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: on TV, I just had I had chills for an hour.

190
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. With the final music and the

191
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: final picture lock and seeing other people see it, watching

192
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: people lean toward the TV because they were really invested,

193
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, man, we did it. It's not

194
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: just us who thinks it's special. All these other people.

195
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: I think it's special, and that feels really cool. So

196
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: I know it's so nice that it's out in the world.

197
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: It feels like, oh, here, we're at this moment. There

198
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: were times when we probably didn't believe it was going

199
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: to come. I love were here. We did it. That

200
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: was so much fun. I loved hearing everyone's answers, and

201
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed getting to know these wonderful people

202
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: a little bit better. Before we go, I want to
