30
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: you joined season four as Rory's Yale sweet mate Janet,

31
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: and had you been watching the show before you got

32
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: the part? Had you been watching this show? Honestly, I

33
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: had not been, however, Um yeah, I didn't even own

34
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: a TV at the time, Like I was fresh out

35
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: of college. Um, the summer prior to moving to l A.

36
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: I hadn't even moved to l A when I booked

37
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: this role. But that's another story. I had worked with

38
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: Lauren Graham in a play at the Williamstown Theater Festival,

39
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: so Lauren and I had already become friends just organically,

40
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: and I had never seen Gilmore Girls. So I actually

41
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: didn't even I didn't know who she was, Like, I

42
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: didn't know, you know, but then I knew she was amazing, um,

43
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, like in the play and everything, and we

44
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: became friends. And then I moved to l A. And

45
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: then when I got this, I was like, oh my god.

46
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: She was like hey, Katie, Katie, like at the table

47
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: read it was kind of funny. Um. But yeah, no,

48
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: I had never seen Okay, all right, when was the

49
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: last time you watch a show? Just for our the

50
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: last time? The last time I saw it. I did

51
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: watch it, by the way, after I was on it,

52
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: I was like I better definitely. Um. The last time

53
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: I had seen it my niece was watching it. So

54
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: that was probably about two gotcha. Tell us a little

55
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: bit about how you got the role of the audition process,

56
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole deal. This is a fun story. Um.

57
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: I came out to l A. I was I was

58
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: in New York doing theater, um, and my agent was like,

59
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: you should come out for like a pilot season, and

60
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: I'm like okay, And I came out and my first

61
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: audition was for the Gilmore Girls spinoff, and so it

62
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: was the one with Milo and the dad and um,

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: and I ended up testing for it and I remember

64
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: going into before the test the callback with Amy Sherman Palladino.

65
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: She was like, that was great, do it ten times fast,

66
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: and so I was like okay. And I've always been

67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: a fast talker, so that came pretty naturally. And then

68
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: I tested for it. I didn't get it. I was

69
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: so sad. Amy had called my agent at the time

70
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: and said, um, you know a little I'm obsessed with Katie.

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to give her a role. And I thought, oh, yeah, right,

72
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: like okay, thank you, you know, but agent told me

73
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: it didn't mean anything at the time. Um. And so

74
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: six months had passed. I hadn't actually thought about, you know.

75
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: I was in l A, just kind of auditioning and whatever,

76
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: and I get a call that I have an audition

77
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: for a guest star in Gilmer Girls. So I was like,

78
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: oh cool, okay. So I go in. Everyone's there, all

79
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: the producers. Amy's like, how are you? Tell me what's new?

80
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: And I do it, and I do the guest star.

81
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: I think it's like a very small guest star. Um.

82
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: And the next day my agent calls me and says,

83
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: so you didn't get the guest star and I was like, oh, okay,

84
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: and he goes Amy wrote a role like for you,

85
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: role of Rory's new roommate at Yale, and I was

86
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: like what, Like, I literally that. I just remember being

87
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: in the street being like, I like you so excited.

88
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, like she kept her miss like he

89
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: didn't have auditions for that role. She created it for you.

90
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: And I was like what, Like, you know, it's like

91
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: mind blowing. And I was so young, so like I

92
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: just was in this pure disbelief and that was really

93
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: my first prime time gig other than like a New

94
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: York Law and Order, you know. So I was like,

95
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: I was so excited. I yeah, so you did eight

96
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: episodes and when you got the role, did they tell

97
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: you how many you would be in? They didn't. They

98
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: actually didn't, and I actually end up doing nine and

99
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: one of for some reason, I don't know if Olivia

100
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: Hack she and I end up getting cut from that

101
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: episode for some reason, the graduation episode, and we were

102
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: like what happened? Um? But but yeah, what they didn't

103
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: tell me. No, They just said I was going to

104
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: be recurring throughout the season. So I was like, Okay,

105
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: all right, So they created this role for you today.

106
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: Did you relate to the character at all? There any

107
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: similarities between you? I did not, because you didn't because

108
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: you didn't know. I mean, right do you? Ay created

109
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: a role for Yeah, and it was like this exercise

110
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: addict and like, yes, I've always been thin, but like

111
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: I was, like I was like a skinny you know,

112
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: coffee and cigarettes in New York at the time, you know,

113
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: like I didn't. I didn't know from X I wasn't

114
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: like the health that I am actually now. And I

115
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: feel like that role actually played a big part in

116
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: getting me healthy and moving to l A. Yeah. I

117
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: end up getting a personal trainer because I was like,

118
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: I better get like in shape this role. I need

119
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: to look fit, not just like right right right? And

120
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: so what did you put on? Put on some muscle

121
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: because I saw I recall when I saw the episode,

122
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: I didn't even know it was you. Um the girl

123
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: did look a little like fit, like she had some

124
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: muscle on her. I never I never would have thought

125
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: that was you, because I do remember you as being

126
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, very life and sort of dancer like like ballerina,

127
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: Like right, yeah, that's nice. Yeah, I mean I got

128
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: I leaned out, I guess, and that kind of started

129
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: my journey, and like I became very healthy even like

130
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: the way everything. I feel like that role played a

131
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: big part in like changing my lifestyle. Funnily enough, Yeah,

132
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: so Janet in Paris argue a lot. How is your

133
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,600

00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: to get along with. I feel like it's such a

155
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: cool chick. You know, she's very very smart. Yeah, she

156
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: she really, she's got all the vocabulary words. She during

157
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: the reboot, she was teaching us all vocabulary words. She's

158
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: like next level, right, but we knew them all, but

159
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: we still, like, you know, we we humored her. Um um.

160
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: So what was it? So? Tell us about your experience

161
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: on set? What was it like the first time you

162
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: came on the set? Had you? I mean you you've

163
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: done some work before that, So it wasn't like a

164
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: total shock, right, It wasn't a total shock. It was

165
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: my first primetime gig in l A. I mean so,

166
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: but no, no, I it wasn't a total shock. I

167
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: think what was shocking to me? What it? And can

168
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: I be Candida? How candid? Can I be? Just open?

169
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: Go go ahead, open up man? Yeah, it open up

170
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: the vault. Let us let us happen here you go,

171
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: remember being so so excited right and so like wow,

172
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: like I'm about to be and feel more girls um

173
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: and I get to said, it felt like everyone was

174
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: kind of miserable. Remember what I shocked at how like

175
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: like what I want to be here? Like I have

176
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: to be honest, like the crew, the cast like at

177
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: the time, and it was just like the t you know,

178
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: like the college cast, but and I don't know if

179
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: I was misreading it so so it was like the

180
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: Yale set and it was all these like it was

181
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: just kind of the vibe was very like so so

182
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: as you was Liza, it was it was Alexis. It

183
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: was all the college people and they were totally nice

184
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: to me learn no, no no, no, I got you short.

185
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: It just felt like people were kind of tired, yeah,

186
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: like tired and not like super into it. Not necessarily

187
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: the cast the crew specifically, but no, I was kind

188
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: of like, oh I thought it. I was, you know,

189
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: so happy, and maybe I was just like overly happy

190
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: and like dream I don't know, but it definitely the

191
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: vibe was like not that because you know I've been

192
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: then I was on sets after that that were so

193
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: happy that I was like, oh, okay, like these people

194
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: seem very excited about and and I was excited, but

195
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: it just didn't seem like everyone was as excited, maybe

196
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: because you guys were in a groove, Like everyone was

197
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: in a groove. It was just like whatever second nature

198
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: at that point, you know. And you know, I came

199
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: in like do do I'm a new girl. I was,

200
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, so spitting sunshine, and uh, you know

201
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: everybody who else was glum. You know, there were long, long,

202
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: long hours and I look, I always you know, you

203
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: know that the number one on the day, which is

204
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: Alexis she's number two in the cast, but that was

205
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: her set, so she's exhausted from all of the hours

206
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: that she's got to put in. That's going to have

207
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: a trickle down effect on everybody else, the crew, everybody.

208
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: So she's not happy, or she's having a bad day

209
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: or she's having a bad week. It's not you know,

210
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: that happens, you know, everybody takes like that on other days,

211
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: Like that was my first day. So I was like,

212
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: maybe something happened that day that I wasn't aware of

213
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: because it just there was a weird vibe and then

214
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: it and then it was totally not you know. I

215
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: think I think that's one of the contributing factors as

216
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: to why the show ended after seven seasons, because I

217
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: don't think those two girls wanted to work that much

218
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: because of what it did to their their heads and

219
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: their you know, their lives, and they just wanted to

220
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: do less. I believe that's kind of what I've heard

221
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: around the water cooler. It's like it was just too much.

222
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: You know. It's like, maybe try balancing it out with

223
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: all the other characters, you know, and take the load

224
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: off and then we can continue with the show. But

225
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: I think that had something to do with, uh, you know,

226
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: that show ending, because I mean, how what else could

227
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: it be? It wasn't the ratings, right, I mean, the

228
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: advertisers wanted to come back, So what else could it be?

229
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: You know, I don't like, I can't I mean, I

230
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: can't speak for them because we because we always sat

231
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: back and we just marveled at how much work they

232
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: had to the workload on the both of them, and

233
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: it was like, how long can they do this? Tired? Yeah?

234
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean at a certain point I know where I

235
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: know you're interviewing me, but I want to ask you like, sure,

236
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: how was your experience like where you did? You had

237
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: a lot to do too, It's not like you didn't

238
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: have you know what I mean, I feel like you

239
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: had just as much. Well in the wintertime, I never

240
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: wanted to be there working because I wanted to be

241
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: in Colorado skiing. So that was my had nothing to

242
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: do with workload. I don't look, I don't mind a workload.

243
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean I can you know, I can bowl through anything.

244
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: It's not a bit. It's how I grew up and

245
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: so that's how my mother is. And it was like

246
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: not a big deal, right work, I'm not afraid of work. Uh,

247
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: but you know, once I discovered Colorado, then then work

248
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: took the bed seat. H Is that where you are now? No? No, no, no, no, no,

249
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: no no, I'm still in southern California. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

250
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean yeah. It was long hours, but you know

251
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: I would get breaks, you know, I wasn't. It wasn't

252
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: every day all day for me. They were absolutely absolutely yeah. Yeah,

253
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: and uh that's tough. That's tough to carry that every

254
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: day nine months, five days a week for nine months,

255
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: and then you get a break and then you're back

256
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: at doing again. And it's just like you just you know,

257
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: I know, the fans can't understand, like why would you

258
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: want to get off a show because it's so beloved

259
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: and it's so great and the quality is so good.

260
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: But I think what the fans don't realize is how

261
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: taxing it is on the actors and and and what

262
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: it can do to somebody, you know, adversely affect their

263
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: health in some way, you know. So it's like, you know,

264
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: it's it's we we give a lot. It's it's like

265
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: any other job where there's huge hours and people get

266
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: stressed out. It's just like anything else, you know. So yeah, Um, anyway,

267
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: it's great being on your show. Any other questions, But

268
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: tell me about your childhood. No, well, when I was

269
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: born suddenly I was a teenager. It was amazing. I

270
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: don't remember a thing. Um, so look, it's the show

271
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: is known for its plentiful dialogue. Was it easier for

272
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: you to adapt to that? Did you have a lot

273
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: of dialogue? I did, and it was rapid fire, as

274
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, it was always like it just

275
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: had to be so fast, and so that wasn't challenging

276
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: for me because I'm I was especially at the time

277
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: such a fast talker naturally, you know, so it was

278
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: kind of fun for me, Like I don't know, I

279
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: I didn't mind it. I didn't mind. But the only

280
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: part that was like harder for me was like, you know,

281
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: you read something and you want to do it a

282
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: certain way, but when you have to say it's super fast,

283
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: it takes away, like you don't get the time to

284
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: do it, like necessarily the way you want to do it,

285
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, because you have to keep up with that piece.

286
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: So it's much more of like a you know what

287
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Like it's almost like, um, it's rhythmic, you know,

288
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: and you have to keep that rhythm or you're gonna

289
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: break it. So it's not organic per se. No, it's not.

290
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: It's it's more it's more iambic than it is. Yes

291
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: I am. I'm not saying that it is a iambic,

292
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: but it's more it's more similar to that than anything

293
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: organic that you're going to feel or come up with

294
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: you I agree with that, sure, yeah, But it was like,

295
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, brilliant, and I understand they wanted to get

296
00:15:54,040 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: all that brilliance packed in sure yeah, sure, yeah. M

Speaker 1: at the motel nearby, like it was like a sleepover party.

325
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: I just remember I think all of us bonded a

326
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: little bit more during that episode. It felt like we

327

364
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: he's just a well maybe they're both like tough characters.

365
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: So which one would you rather go on a road

366
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: trip with? Now? That? But maybe him? Maybe him? Actually

367
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,800

368
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: He'd probably a funny story. He probably would. Um, okay,

369
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,360

371
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not Carly Simon. It's Carol King. Carol King.

372
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: That's the theme song of the show. How many points

373
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: am I losing right now? You're not losing any point? Listen,

374
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: I have a couple. I'll give you a couple of

375
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: my points. You won't lose a thing. All operated a

376
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: deficit from here on out. Um Jackson's vegetables or Suki's

377
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: bakeod you know, Suki is okay? Would you rather listen

378
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: to Drella's Harp or the Trooper doors cover songs? And

379
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: that's a trick question because Drella was Alex Borstein in

380
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: the pilot and she got replaced by Melissa McCarthy, so

381
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: Drella's character went away. Alex Borstein could not be in

382
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: the series because she was on something I think called

383
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: Mad TV at Fox and they wouldn't they wouldn't let

384
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: her out of her contract, and she was so great

385
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: as Drella the harpist. Um, Yes, interesting in it? Um okay,
