Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, yeah, it's when I first started. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you were the you are the first. You
Speaker 1: are made in voyage. But yeah, uh, well I ended
Speaker 1: up going to Australia after I spoke with you, which
Speaker 1: was a life changing experience, fell in love with the country,
Speaker 1: shooting a Netflix series that came out God's Favorite Idiot
Speaker 1: with Melissa did Melissa Brilliant show? Yes, my Friends and
Speaker 1: we had a grand time. And then I came back
Speaker 1: and shot season two of my Canadian show Li mecuh
Speaker 1: right after that, and uh and yeah, and then I
Speaker 1: shot a couple of movies with the miss Tony Braxton
Speaker 1: of all people. Yeah, in Toronto. We became friends. She's lovely. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's been a busy, busy stretch. Yeah. And you
Speaker 1: just came in from Greece where you Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: came in from vacation. Yes. I must have been a
Speaker 1: Greek man in another life. I love it there. Yeah. Yeah, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's there. I was a Mikinos. I was telling
Speaker 1: them this funny quote to the Greeks, which they didn't do.
Speaker 1: You know that quote Greeks invented sex and Italians shared
Speaker 1: it with women. It was I was coming through customs
Speaker 1: uh to get here uh in Halifax, and there was
Speaker 1: I think there was. He was a Greek gentleman and
Speaker 1: he was he was working in the snack bar and
Speaker 1: that was the only thing that was open because it
Speaker 1: was it was like one flight to Philadelphia, right and
Speaker 1: that that was it. That was the international section of
Speaker 1: the airport. And he said, you know, he was chatting
Speaker 1: everybody up. He was a good natured fellow, obviously pretty
Speaker 1: educated guy, and he was just like up, up, up,
Speaker 1: and he you know, it came to my turn, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I wonder what kind of chatter I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get from this guy. And he goes, well, you know, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, And then he said, he said, you know,
Speaker 1: better to better to be alive than dead, and what
Speaker 1: don't you think? And I'm like, you know, it's better
Speaker 1: to be six ft above ground than six ft under
Speaker 1: and I said, I just I don't know. I just said, uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm qualified. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it's like to be dead, so I can't answer that.
Speaker 1: And he goes, he goes, you got me there speaking
Speaker 1: of Greeks, John, what are you working on now? Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: that was an interesting segue. I was gonna actually say.
Speaker 1: My sister was just yeah, my sister was in Greece
Speaker 1: probably the same time you were. And um, I don't
Speaker 1: think so. She her my my brother in law. He's Greek,
Speaker 1: I mean full Greek, and uh yeah, they were visiting family.
Speaker 1: My sister just had a baby. Um, it's coming. I
Speaker 1: think we might have might have another guest. Un thanks
Speaker 1: for coming in. We have just been joined by Mr
Speaker 1: He just came in. Not good to see you. You're
Speaker 1: looking well. Thank you, Thank you guys for having me
Speaker 1: having me on here. We gotta get close. I have
Speaker 1: no problem with that. Man. This is cool. This is
Speaker 1: very cool. It's great to see you guys. So, so
Speaker 1: how you been what you've been busy? Huh yeah, good good?
Speaker 1: You know, um doing a show right now called The
Speaker 1: Resident right right now for a little bit right six
Speaker 1: seasons we were talking about, thank you, thank you, and uh,
Speaker 1: of course it's been fun to relive Gilmore girls as
Speaker 1: I was coming to do this and think about all
Speaker 1: those memories together. So now it's good to see you
Speaker 1: guys in person. Tell us about how you got the job,
Speaker 1: the audition process, you know, the whole beginning of it.
Speaker 1: You know, I I auditioned for Logan either it was
Speaker 1: at least once, uh, for a previous character. I think
Speaker 1: it was Marty. Actually I auditioned for that character. I
Speaker 1: believe so, and then it may have been another character too.
Speaker 1: So I think I auditioned twice before Logan. And you know,
Speaker 1: I had seen the show, and so I had that
Speaker 1: advantage coming into that first issue where if you didn't
Speaker 1: know the show, of course, that the pace of it
Speaker 1: the way the way it is, and you're you're not
Speaker 1: gonna call that pace. I don't know when you auditioned
Speaker 1: for it, but the pace of the show was not
Speaker 1: as fast when we first started the show. Do you
Speaker 1: remember season one? We were talking normal and I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened. Amy had too many coffees, and I
Speaker 1: think that it was that the scripts were getting longer.
Speaker 1: Realized that we might not be able to get this
Speaker 1: into minutes less Dan Dan fill the syringe again. But
Speaker 1: your character was introduced with season season five. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was introduced in season three, and I remember my agent said, Hey,
Speaker 1: just so you know, when you go into the audition,
Speaker 1: it's the Gilmore speed. I was like, I don't know
Speaker 1: exactly what that means. But by season three they were
Speaker 1: already Yeah. But season one definitely, if you watched season one,
Speaker 1: we we don't talk fast. I talk normal, right, I didn't.
Speaker 1: That's that's I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah, I came
Speaker 1: in in the in the fast, just like the only
Speaker 1: notes we'd get from directors are we really like what
Speaker 1: you're doing and you go faster? Yeah? Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: feel like, man, I don't. I don't feel like Logan
Speaker 1: spoke particularly fast. Maybe, but that's the reason, Glad, you know,
Speaker 1: that's the reason that character is so memorable because you
Speaker 1: did do your own rhythm and you did your own rhythm.
Speaker 1: But I mean you were a little faster fast, but
Speaker 1: you did your own rhythm and kept it cool. Right.
Speaker 1: You didn't get caught up in in Lauren and Alexis
Speaker 1: because that's hard to stay. I wouldn't have fit now
Speaker 1: i'm reflecting on your character. Wouldn't have fit him talking
Speaker 1: super fast like we we did. I feel like you
Speaker 1: you had a more normal but I feel like talking
Speaker 1: You did a scene at the beach with Greg Henry
Speaker 1: and he came in and he was very upset and
Speaker 1: you guys had a fight. Yes, yes, yes, And that
Speaker 1: scene is one of the best scenes I've ever seen
Speaker 1: in the show, just to the pace going back and forth,
Speaker 1: but the smoothness that you gave it, and it didn't
Speaker 1: feel like you were sort of acting and being fast
Speaker 1: about it than you just had a very natural float.
Speaker 1: But that scene was wow. Oh that's very wow. I
Speaker 1: mean that was first of all, I feel like I
Speaker 1: was I was talking pretty fast, guys, but I just
Speaker 1: thought you were speaking really slow right now. But thank
Speaker 1: you for saying that, because that was my intention coming in,
Speaker 1: is is you know the challenge with that dialogue. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's so beautifully written, as we all know Amy Dan
Speaker 1: and and shout out to them, and just every word matters,
Speaker 1: and it it should matter for a reason because the
Speaker 1: writing is so good. At the same time, when I
Speaker 1: saw the show, with it being so fast, you can
Speaker 1: see how you can just get caught up and if
Speaker 1: you're at two in the morning and everybody saying, hey,
Speaker 1: go faster. I was trying to come in and still
Speaker 1: have my character thoughts while speaking Frost and I didn't
Speaker 1: achieve that. Of course, all the time. But that was
Speaker 1: my goal. And our friend George Bell would come up
Speaker 1: and say, hey, this that you know script. Yeah, our
Speaker 1: dialogue coach, so he would come up and say that.
Speaker 1: But so I wanted to honor that that pace. You
Speaker 1: have to honor that tone. You want to say every
Speaker 1: word right because they the writing is so beautiful. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, I wanted to try and convey
Speaker 1: the thoughts of the character. So that's a really nice compliment.
Speaker 1: But this is when I discovered how good you were.
Speaker 1: Was when I was amazed at how how good Greg
Speaker 1: nailed that scene, because because you know, you know, actors
Speaker 1: have to decide and they kind of instinctively know, oh
Speaker 1: this is Greg scene like this is Greg, you know,
Speaker 1: this is fireworks and man he you know, and when
Speaker 1: somebody's driving that like that with that writing, your job
Speaker 1: is so hard because man, if you just miss a
Speaker 1: little time and you can throw them off in the
Speaker 1: whole scene on rabbles. But man, you were just right
Speaker 1: in there. Your cues were perfect, perfect, perfect. That's when
Speaker 1: I realized how good you were. That's very kind of you.
Speaker 1: I mean, really how much to do? That's the for me,
Speaker 1: that's the toughest thing to do is not to screw
Speaker 1: up Lauren, you know, when she's on her when she's
Speaker 1: in her in her state, right, And that's the hardest
Speaker 1: thing to do. And I think that for all of
Speaker 1: us we can speak to the challenge of that pace,
Speaker 1: but also um how unique that made the show and uh,
Speaker 1: that combination of the challenge is an actor to try
Speaker 1: and make that come alive was very difficult for us.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, that's why we're we're here
Speaker 1: still talking about the show. That's why we had that
Speaker 1: reunion in That's why we had the reboot, because generations
Speaker 1: have now watched the show. I mean, it's amazing in
Speaker 1: terms of the mother daughter connection, which is the fundamental
Speaker 1: aspect of the show. But how many mothers and daughters
Speaker 1: to this day are watching it And that's a credit
Speaker 1: I'd like to think too. Obviously, again, Amy and Dan
Speaker 1: and then all the actors who are able to create uh,
Speaker 1: like you said, each everybody, every character has their own
Speaker 1: own voice. Apparently I was the one who talked really slow.
Speaker 1: I was the slow voice. You you were the guy
Speaker 1: that never looked broke character, who stayed in character because
Speaker 1: to hang with Greg henry Man, you gotta be good
Speaker 1: to hang with that, and you were dressed in the
Speaker 1: pocket just riding that out and doing your job. You
Speaker 1: have a job to do, right, and it's like thank you, wow, wow, wow,
Speaker 1: thank you, So kudos to you for that. That's when
Speaker 1: I that's when I sat forward and said, Jesus, that
Speaker 1: guy's good because I've been in that situation. It's like
Speaker 1: I choked a few times. It's like, oh, boy, man,
Speaker 1: that's your job. You got to stay in there and
Speaker 1: feed and feed and feed. It's not easy. Matt, Gotta
Speaker 1: ask you burning question here. Who do you think the
Speaker 1: baby daddies? Yeah, you know, my answer is always the
Speaker 1: same on that of just I feel like if Amy
Speaker 1: and Dan want to say that, then they should be
Speaker 1: the ones. But and and maybe I'm on darts coming
Speaker 1: in John and maybe they they'll change their minds. So
Speaker 1: I've always um, I'm I'm putting my money on Mike Tyson.
Speaker 1: I I just I think it's the best piece of
Speaker 1: stunt casting there is. And I wanted to be Mike
Speaker 1: Tyson because I want to work with Mike Tyson's maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit, now, why not I think you're on something.
Speaker 1: I think it's not can you support me on? Thank you?
Speaker 1: Um so, so tell us a little bit no, so,
Speaker 1: so get into the hole like when you got the
Speaker 1: job in your first day, at your first impressions of
Speaker 1: the of of being at Warner Brothers, and like what
Speaker 1: it was all happening. Yes, I mentioned at least auditioned once.
Speaker 1: I think it was twice for two different characters, and uh,
Speaker 1: thankfully you know Amy and and Dan saw something in
Speaker 1: that there that uh, and then I had a third
Speaker 1: audition for for Logan. So that was a unique journey
Speaker 1: in of itself to audition twice for that show and
Speaker 1: then have a third opportunity didn't come back that that's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how I remember why it's so special to me.
Speaker 1: Is really my first kind of um big job, and
Speaker 1: it was either the second or third, I want to
Speaker 1: say third and um and then also that was the
Speaker 1: first job where after that was able to support myself
Speaker 1: as an actor. So very again, so grateful to Amy
Speaker 1: and Dan in a lot of ways of them taking
Speaker 1: a chance on me. Really I didn't have many credits
Speaker 1: and um, and so that's that's really really special to me.
Speaker 1: And then to be a part of a show like
Speaker 1: we've talked about UM that was so unique, so interesting,
Speaker 1: so well written, and then UM for it too, as
Speaker 1: we mentioned, be on Netflix and to have to be
Speaker 1: able to do a reboot and have generations after generations
Speaker 1: love it. I mean, that's what we all do, is
Speaker 1: we're trying to do as actors, is to try and
Speaker 1: make something that um impacts the audience and to be
Speaker 1: on something that really resonates with with people and makes
Speaker 1: a difference in their lives, whether it be just they're
Speaker 1: folding laundry, whether watching the show, or they connect to
Speaker 1: the relationship that you had with Laurel or whatever it
Speaker 1: may be. That's what we're trying to do. So we
Speaker 1: were able to do that with the show. UM. When
Speaker 1: I first came on there, in terms of that question,
Speaker 1: I was very nervous. You know, I was a new
Speaker 1: actor and I didn't know what it meant to really
Speaker 1: hit my mark and find my light and uh I
Speaker 1: remember the DP kind of just you know, take from
Speaker 1: my shoulders and say you feel that light there, you
Speaker 1: feel this mark here, and don't be an alexis is life.
Speaker 1: So those some of some of those basic fundamentals were
Speaker 1: what I was experiencing there. And then like we talked
Speaker 1: about the pace of the show being so unique, So
Speaker 1: that were some of the highlights for me in terms
Speaker 1: of that job. Just taking a quick pull, how many
Speaker 1: of y'all and I'm included in this have I thought
Speaker 1: they've done a brilliant take, but sorry, I can't use it.
Speaker 1: You were standing, you were out of your light, you
Speaker 1: were off your mark, you're out of focus. We have
Speaker 1: to go again. I'm guilmar I don't think I've had that.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, didn't happen, Gilmore Girls. That happened. But
Speaker 1: but worse would be would be a line that I
Speaker 1: tongue twisted or flubbed that I'm that that they then
Speaker 1: moved on like they were and then I'm like, oh no,
Speaker 1: please tell me that this is not going to be
Speaker 1: the one that they use. And sure enough, it must
Speaker 1: have been perfect for every other every other person in
Speaker 1: the scene because that we can't use your best take
Speaker 1: because they were really good at that. So tell us
Speaker 1: a little bit. What was it like working with Alexis. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she you know, as you know, she's she's very private
Speaker 1: and she's um very you know, in terms of coming
Speaker 1: into that. The reason I loved the character we're just
Speaker 1: talking about the character of it um was. I felt
Speaker 1: Logan was somebody who could push her uh to try
Speaker 1: and you know, challenge herself, to push her to uh
Speaker 1: live a different life in terms of outside the box
Speaker 1: a little bit. So that's what I loved about the
Speaker 1: character of Logan in terms of the positive side, was
Speaker 1: just trying to inspire her to to push her outside
Speaker 1: the box. That's what I loved about the Rory Logan relationship.
Speaker 1: And then in terms of Alexis, you know she was
Speaker 1: she just had so much on her shoulders from a
Speaker 1: very young age and so much attention on that show.
Speaker 1: We talked about a show again that has been so
Speaker 1: popular for so long, and and she had so much
Speaker 1: of that burden and so and she was very private
Speaker 1: and kept to herself, and so mostly I was just
Speaker 1: trying to in any way I could protect that and
Speaker 1: honor that on set in a lot of ways, whether
Speaker 1: it be outside when we were ever together, outside uh
Speaker 1: of work or at work, of just trying to respect
Speaker 1: her her privacy and really not bother her too much
Speaker 1: because I feel like she was just in the spotlight
Speaker 1: so much and had so much attention. I felt noticed
Speaker 1: that very early on that she was so private and
Speaker 1: and um and wanted time to herself whenever she could
Speaker 1: have it, so that I felt was my job was
Speaker 1: to kind of felt an instinct to protect her in
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, she Uh, I don't think she realized
Speaker 1: what she was getting into, and well, no one knew
Speaker 1: what the show was going to go. But I mean
Speaker 1: she was a call to show. She was eighteen years old.
Speaker 1: She was sixteen years old when she started the show.
Speaker 1: I believe I'm right she was sixteen. She was sixteen
Speaker 1: unless she was she was an n y U, which
Speaker 1: did she graduate high school early? I would have to
Speaker 1: google that information, but I'm pretty sure she was sixteen.
Speaker 1: I mean, no, now, yeah, I think I think eighteen
Speaker 1: yeah nine, she was nineteen. Oh my god, I'm completely wrong. Okay.
Speaker 1: And the reboot, I mean, I don't know about you
Speaker 1: guys had a blast with that. It was kind of
Speaker 1: the case of just coming you get to go back
Speaker 1: to college in a way, and you didn't know you're
Speaker 1: gonna ever go back to college, and uh, that was
Speaker 1: just a blast. I mean, I don't know, we may
Speaker 1: not have I don't know if I even saw you
Speaker 1: guys on the reboot. When we were shooting. I don't
Speaker 1: think so stories, but it was uh, you know as
Speaker 1: a blast. I love that, right, So tell us what
Speaker 1: are your favorite moments of filming the show episode wise?
Speaker 1: Of course? Uh, you know the first episode I was
Speaker 1: on Written in the Stars. I think that was episode
Speaker 1: three of season five, just a special one because it
Speaker 1: was the first one. Um you jump, I jump Jack
Speaker 1: is uh in that season as well, that fifth season,
Speaker 1: that's the first episode where I feel we had the
Speaker 1: whole life and Death Brigade aspect. And for me, the
Speaker 1: Life and Death Brigade aspect captured the best parts of
Speaker 1: who Logan was and the best parts of who was
Speaker 1: for Rory in terms of just again that that out
Speaker 1: of the box thinking, that adventure seeking, of pushing things
Speaker 1: to the limit, and I feel like for Logan that
Speaker 1: was a place where he could escape exactly the pieces
Speaker 1: that you were talking about that you didn't love about
Speaker 1: the character, in terms of whether it be the entitlement
Speaker 1: or he was always eston to work for his father
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, Master and Commander. That's that's in
Speaker 1: the first episode this guy. Yeah, and of course I
Speaker 1: love that piece of them too for me, but I
Speaker 1: can see as an audience member. Um, you know that
Speaker 1: was the duality moment, no question, It's a really really
Speaker 1: cool moment, really cool, cool character. I haven't seen it
Speaker 1: all right, sorry, sorry, you just recently watched the show.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the show in twenty years, so it's
Speaker 1: for me. It's so vague. So did you get a
Speaker 1: lot of offers from film and TV to play a
Speaker 1: character like that? I did get a little bit. I
Speaker 1: think of that that kind of an entitled aspect character
Speaker 1: to play. I mean, to play that your whole career.
Speaker 1: That's that puts you in some pretty good movies. I mean,
Speaker 1: and I love that character logan, you know, and I
Speaker 1: loved all those aspects of them, the duality of that
Speaker 1: and everything. So I loved that character. But you know,
Speaker 1: of course, as as actors, you're trying to marry the
Speaker 1: business and the artistic side of it. So there was
Speaker 1: certainly at the beginning certain um jobs that felt very
Speaker 1: close to that character that UM I turned out. Can
Speaker 1: you describe one name one um? Interesting enough? There was
Speaker 1: a pilot the stories. Yeah, I love like what I
Speaker 1: didn't get and what I turned on. There was a
Speaker 1: pilot I can't remember the name of it. Didn't end
Speaker 1: up going. But um, interestingly enough, the producer of that
Speaker 1: pilot was also the producer who produced The Good Wife,
Speaker 1: which I ended up doing right after that. So um,
Speaker 1: that was a job that that pilot didn't end up going,
Speaker 1: but that was a character was very similar to to Logan.
Speaker 1: And that's just one example of that, right right, Okay, Uh,
Speaker 1: they need you. I'm gonna see you later. You all later,
Speaker 1: We'll see you around. Thank you guys. Yeah. One thing
Speaker 1: that Matt made me think of the when we were
Speaker 1: talking about the pace of the show, the fact that
Speaker 1: we all had to speak so fast. It made the
Speaker 1: actors be very specific about their intentions and who they were,
Speaker 1: because you didn't have time. If you weren't specific, your
Speaker 1: work was not going to come through. And so that
Speaker 1: is kind of like the hidden gift of talking fast.
Speaker 1: I think, you know what. I think it worked for
Speaker 1: a lot of scenes. Other scenes I wish for sure
Speaker 1: because on the thing I'm doing now, I'm finding you know,
Speaker 1: you slow it down and you'll find all these great beats. Um,
Speaker 1: talk a little bit unique about you, know you have
Speaker 1: and you are ultra specific as an actor, and we're
Speaker 1: enjoying you so much. On every episode lately that we've
Speaker 1: been podcasting about, and some of the episodes I'm not
Speaker 1: crazy about, you know, I and I go into it.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty pretty honest about it um as to why,
Speaker 1: and I sort of, you know, break it down a
Speaker 1: little bit, we all break it down. But the saving
Speaker 1: grace for the last I don't know, four or five,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah about like the last four
Speaker 1: or five? You just have these one lines that we
Speaker 1: we all were just you were our favorite line in
Speaker 1: every episode. Yeah, well, the lines, it's all Amy and
Speaker 1: Dan and the writing. The writing for Michelle was very
Speaker 1: very specific. His voice was very specific, and so for me,
Speaker 1: I grew up watching comedies and sitcoms and I literally
Speaker 1: grew up watching Golden Girls with my grandmother. And yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how I learned English basically, because I didn't speak
Speaker 1: English before. And the characters were so specific, and you
Speaker 1: laugh every time because you knew it was coming, and
Speaker 1: it came, and then you felt rewarded and then you laugh.
Speaker 1: And Michelle isn't a bit in that vein. You kind
Speaker 1: of know what he's thinking, and then when he says
Speaker 1: it out loud, you're like, right, right, right, But so
Speaker 1: you know to me what you did with Michelle. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like what Peter Sellers did with Clouseau. I mean
Speaker 1: it's so ultra specific and so memorable and so overwhelmingly funny.
Speaker 1: Where did you get this guy? I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: just his I I understood the first time my audition
Speaker 1: and I read the script and the lines for him.
Speaker 1: I understood his sarcasm and his dryness and being French Canadian,
Speaker 1: which is not like being a French from Paris. But
Speaker 1: I certainly have uh have met many and I have
Speaker 1: many in my life, and this sense of having an
Speaker 1: opinion on everything, and they love to argue, and they
Speaker 1: love to share their opinion in the sense that they
Speaker 1: always feel their opinion is the most valid and prove
Speaker 1: me wrong, prove me otherwise if you haven't that, and
Speaker 1: they love that debate. And so I understand that kind
Speaker 1: of thinking. And so he comes from that place where
Speaker 1: he feels that he needs to educate people Americans because
Speaker 1: they're not educated, and so it comes almost from a
Speaker 1: good place, a place of wanting to share and elevate them.
Speaker 1: And so it's not means spirited, it means it's done
Speaker 1: in a way to help and elevate and educate. Its
Speaker 1: beautiful yea. Um, so so what are you drawing from?
Speaker 1: And it's and I mean, is there is there another
Speaker 1: actor who gave a performance? Now, it's just memories, inner
Speaker 1: emotional memories of my imagination of of what it is
Speaker 1: to be French. What's your favorite line that you delivered
Speaker 1: on Gilmorgural? Do you remember so many? But I remember
Speaker 1: the last couple episodes. What was cracking us up so much?
Speaker 1: I mean the line with the elderly woman. I like,
Speaker 1: I like when lines are really inappropriate, something about furniture. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she wanted to She said, excuse me, sir, where can
Speaker 1: I find the best antiques? And Michelle responded at your
Speaker 1: househead guest, Yeah, it's so inappropriate and it's so funny
Speaker 1: to me. Um, yeah that was a great line. Yeah. Wait, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're killings because we vote at the end of the podcast.
Speaker 1: Now who who stole the who stole the shows? Uh?
Speaker 1: You're you're you're saving the show like the Clunker episodes,
Speaker 1: which is like kind of all over the place. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: you know the lack of utilization of Richard and Emily
Speaker 1: participation of you know, celebrating Rory's admission into Yarvard, Harvard, Yale, Yarvard,
Speaker 1: you know Harvard, Harvard, Yale and Princeton Um. You know
Speaker 1: you always come through. Well, thank you, sir. We thought
Speaker 1: we we when the puppy thing, right, the puppies and
Speaker 1: you fell in love with the puppies, Yes, we we
Speaker 1: were wanting. We loved it, but we wanted more hard edge. Yeah, Michelle, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that when the when one of my puppies die, that
Speaker 1: was season seven or something. I pitched that idea because
Speaker 1: I said he should lose a puppy, he should be devastated,
Speaker 1: it should be like because I wanted to have more
Speaker 1: moments for him where you saw a bit of his vulnerability.
Speaker 1: So we're so we're we're really enjoying. Well, thank you
Speaker 1: what you're doing. And um, all right, gentlemen, all right,
