<v Speaker 2>letters and they did all that like the day before,

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's like dried, I guess or whatever. But we

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:30.040

<v Speaker 2>of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and they like vote

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.760

<v Speaker 2>can help with the star, but we help once, you know. Basically,

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 2>So what we did was we tried to get as

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 2>many casts to come back for the star ceremony. And

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>then there are fifty seats, so that's that's the limit.

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 2>That's all they ever do. It's fifty seats, and for

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 2>us to be like two of those seats was just

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.520

<v Speaker 2>as give.

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Right, exactly exactly, because they do when they do this,

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.560

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they sure do. It's exciting. It was so exciting.

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I had never been to one that was

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>my one and only. At this point, I hope I

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>get to go to another one, maybe yours, but no, gosh,

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 2>it was such a tree.

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll be lucky to get a crack on the sidewalk,

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, busted sidewalk down somewhere in Cooma, right, maybe

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>not even Hollywood. You know, I'd like to have a

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>walk a Walk of Fame crack, you know, dedicated. That's all.

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Well they did. They also do it in Palm Springs.

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>They really I don't need a whole square. I could share,

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, it could be a complex crack and I

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>could share it with others maybe you, you and me.

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, me, you and the gang. But okay, so

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 2>we sat down.

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:53.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>They started the ceremony, yes, which was really well tight

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 2>put together. The only one you could see it was

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>on the Walk of Fame dot com. And then they

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 2>claimed that they said they had over ten thousand people

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 2>watching it at the very beginning. There is that right now,

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.679
<v Speaker 2>They're like, we have ten thousand live viewers. Wow, whoa.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 2>And then I think Sam started and then Amy came

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>up and gave really a fun speech.

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Huh.

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 2>It was like just her brain like firing on all cylinder.

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 2>She started to read her phone, you know, she wrote

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 2>some things, but then she just went.

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Right, she went off script, she said, script, she started

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:39.679
<v Speaker 1>reading that little tiny print.

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and told some really funny stories. Yes, yes, And

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 2>then how the casting of Loralai happened? That amazing? Do

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>you remember that?

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Like they couldn't find the girl, the right girl,

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.679
<v Speaker 1>and like forever Lauren had a contract, she was committed

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to another show, yield another show, and it was on

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 1>vacation and she didn't you know, Cassie people told her

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>about Lauren, and Amy said, no, I don't want to

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>see her because she's not going to be available, and

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.679
<v Speaker 1>if I fall in love with her, then I won't

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>be able to have her, and then I'll I'll murder

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody and then I'll you all be accused of committing murder,

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>not me or something like that, right, you know her

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>hyperbolic way of speaking, right.

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>So and WB Network at the time, Oh yeah, we're there.

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>And then they couldn't find the right Laura line like

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 2>they had found all you like before. So when they

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 2>found her and then she went in and then they

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 2>fell in love with her, and then she luckily got

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>out of that other pilot like totally got out of it.

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.880

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we went to Toronto.

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which is way different than Warner Brother's backlot.

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And way different, way different. Uh huh, you actually need

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a jack there exactly. Like it's got real weather. You know.

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.240

<v Speaker 2>said Gilmore Girls was just like like just like so

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the show is like exactly why this star happened, right,

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>you know? And that really hit home for me too,

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 2>which was so nice.

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>So back in your early days working at Warner Brothers

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 1>together with Lauren, did you ever imagine she'd be getting

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>a star on the Walk of Fame.

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I never, I never thought I but I never I

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 2>would hope for that. I'm always hopeful, like because I

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 2>worked on Buffy the Vampire Slayer too, and I was like,

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I hope Sarah Michelle Geller gets a star, you know,

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.679
<v Speaker 2>things like that. So and the same with Dawson's Creek,

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.079
<v Speaker 2>James Vanderbeek, maybe, but everyone was so young and like

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the stars were not going out to super young people

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 2>at the time they.

0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Were, did James gelt One? I don't think So it's

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Sarah get One.

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure because she has.

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>A nice body of work, right, right, so.

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Pretty sure. I'll have to look. But what was it like?

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 2>I what was I reading? It was like so many stars,

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Like it's like two thousand something. Forgot how many there were,

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 2>but she's like twenty eight hundred and something.

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 1>So right, Well, here's a question that the staff prepared.

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's for me. How has Lauren impacted your

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>own career for the way you approach acting? You know,

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 1>what Lauren confirmed for me, James, is that I was

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 1>on the right track and how I approach the work,

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that how I approach the work, that you know, my

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 1>particular style and my particular discipline of approaching the work

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and the rehearsal process, and how important that was to me.

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>It was also important to her, So our our sort

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:03.440
<v Speaker 1>of preparation and workhearsal styles were similar. So I thought, oh, yay,

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>this is going to work.

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 2>And you took that with you to your movies and everything.

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, everything I do. Yes, And it's always a joy

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.959
<v Speaker 1>to find somebody. And you know, the entire cast that

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Gilmore Girls was like that.

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.679
<v Speaker 1>I heard very collaborative, very.

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Collaborative, like study group and then truly.

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, but I mean people like when they they'd

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 1>fight for their choices, you know, and and they justify

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.679
<v Speaker 1>them and they'd argue, and it's like, yes, that's what

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 1>you want. You want that spark, you know, you want

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.439
<v Speaker 1>the ideas to fly around and bounce off the walls

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and and best best idea wins kind of kind of deal.

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 1>So that it was just such a raw, alive atmosphere

0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>all the time. It was just it was just fantastic. Yeah,

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 1>and you had some may have to work in that way.

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:56.719
<v Speaker 1>So so that's really what how she approached the work,

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 1>how I approached my work, how everybody approached the work

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 1>on that set is is you know you're in the

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 1>right place. Yeah, you know, you know you're in the

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>right place with the right people, and you have, you know,

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a creator and Amy and Dan sitting back and letting

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>it happen and the writing and listening and like you know,

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, you know, not trying to dominate

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 1>everything all the time, just letting us work it out,

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you know. So it was just great fun.

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.559
<v Speaker 2>I worked on Friends too, so and then sometimes if

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 2>a joke didn't hit as funny as you, as the

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 2>crowd and the audience thought it would, they would rewrite

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 2>and the actors would learn it like that.

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 2>So Dan and Amy were there a lot. Did they

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 2>are all the time? Probably? But did you ever have

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>that with Lauren where you would have to have like

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 2>you did the scene and then they're like, this could

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.679
<v Speaker 2>make it a little funnier or a little more serious

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and you'd have to rewrite and learn it that fast?

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Or was it always just so too often? I don't really.

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>We would get rewrites very early in the morning in

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.319
<v Speaker 1>the makeup chair, like stick am. We get rewrites. Sometimes

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:06.040
<v Speaker 1>there were long rewrites, so that the whole scene was rewritten, reconceived,

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and they just handed to you restressed. When that happened

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 1>first time, Yeah, like the first week of shooting at

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Warner Brothers episode one or episode two. You know, pilot

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>was the first episode. Second episode was shot at Warner

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Brothers and Burbank and everything else after. Yeah, they throw

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>a ten page scene at us at six am and

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>our set call or no, no, I'm sorry, six forty am,

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and then our set call was seven o'clock. So we

0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 1>had twenty minutes to learn ten pages and we did it.

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because you guys were just that.

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Good, Because because we had to when we didn't have

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a choice, you know, so we just we just worked

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>at work. It worked it and and then.

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I hear it's like a muscle, like if you learn

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 2>the line and you just keep going, it's just like

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>easier to like take in the information, retain it and

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 2>then trying to forget it after that.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, it's in the writing and in the

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>rhythm of the writing, and it always was very rhythmic

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 1>and very musical and kind of easy to remember.

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, back to the star. Yes, who did you sit by, Kelly?

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, Kelly, Kelly and Matt. Yeah, Kelly and Matt.

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, right there in the front row. I had

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>a front row seat to it.

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 2>All, I know, right next to all the like paparazzi,

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 2>the camera people from like Extra, they were there. How

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 2>did it feel to be reunited with Lauren?

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 1>It was wonderful. It was wonderful. It's like no time

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 1>had gone by. She didn't recognize me, you know, because

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 1>they had a white beard and I had lost some hat.

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>She said, I'm sorry, who are you?

0:15:58.520 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Did she really now?

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>It was really nice to see her. It was really

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:05.600
<v Speaker 1>really nice to see her.

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Well. I was sitting in the back row, and it

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 2>was fantastic because I didn't know who I was sitting by.

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 2>It was agents and things like that through all her years,

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Lorange years, and I ended up sitting like right behind

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 2>like someone else. I really admire Connie Britten.

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Connie was right there.

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh my gosh, she's right in front

<v Speaker 1>it was upfront, and she's just great. She's so much fun.

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 2>She also wore a red pants suit, so I was like,

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 2>that was nice way to go with the red.

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I know, but she's she's she's been good for the

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Lauren and Connie were roommates back in the day when

0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>they were first starting out in New York, I believe. Yeah,

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that's how they became friends. Yeah, that's why she was there.

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Oh that's so cool.

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I got to know her, and you know,

<v Speaker 1>I love Connie. She's just she's great. She's just a

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.119
<v Speaker 1>great human, great person.

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.440
<v Speaker 2>So I sat next to like because I was in

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 2>the back, but I was next to Lucy Davis, who

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>is on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which is another

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 2>WB show, And I didn't know because I didn't watch

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.159
<v Speaker 2>that because it was on Netflix and I didn't I

0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 2>couldn't afford it at the time.

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Now I can.

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.760
<v Speaker 2>But I was like just chatting it up with her,

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 2>and she's telling me that there's a piano bar around

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 2>the corner from the Star because the stars in front

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 2>of the w Hotel across the street from the piano

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 2>or from the Pantagious, and there's a piano bar called

0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.679
<v Speaker 2>tramp stamp grannies that we all have to go to,

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:01.560

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.920
<v Speaker 1>think that that title for a business scares people or

<v Speaker 1>Wow?

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.199
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a good I think it could be

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 2>a way to get fans all to come and join

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:56.919

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>something bluesy scotty things, the blues. James, I have a

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.760
<v Speaker 1>question for you, yep. Why do you think Lauren and

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Gilmore Girls continues to resonate so deeply with audiences?

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Well, the writing, of course, the acting of course,

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 2>the casting of course, and then how this like it's

0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:24.639
<v Speaker 2>like mac and cheese, Like I think I said this

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 2>once before, like it's so good and you want to

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.359
<v Speaker 2>have it, especially in the fall. And then that's why

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 2>everybody keeps rewatching in the fall, and that's why we

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 2>get to do the Rewatch podcast now. So it's like

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 2>it's just so like it like fills the soul.

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Okay, one big memory from the ceremony.

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 2>My biggest memory, oh after party. So yeah, both you

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 2>and I decided, okay, the after party was down the street,

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 2>but we still had it was a block and a half, y'all,

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 2>but we all had to take car to get there

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 2>because the street so full of people that you couldn't

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.840
<v Speaker 2>buy easily. So we got cars, went down the street,

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.439
<v Speaker 2>went on top of this rooftop. I took a picture

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 2>of Scottie, you could see it on my Instagram, James E. Pettitt,

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 2>And you are with the Hollywood sign because that rooftop

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 2>like restaurant looks over the whole uh Hollywood area. And

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 2>we had white Russians And why is that, scott Why

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:33.800
<v Speaker 2>did we have white Russians? I don't know, because you're

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 2>a part Russian.

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's right, that's right, that's right, that's so true.

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>And I don't I don't really drink, no, but I

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:43.520
<v Speaker 1>figured this is an occasion.

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you got a car like a driver, right.

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to worry about driving. And uh so

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I had we had one white Russian apiece.

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I thought that delicious.

0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:59.600
<v Speaker 1>It was a lovely drink. And it was a lovely

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 1>experience there and that in top restaurant, and we toasted Lauren. Yes,

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:10.879
<v Speaker 1>and uh I actually, you know I when Warner Brothers

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 1>PR contacted me about attending the event, Yeah, I asked

0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 1>him if I could get up there and make a speech. Oh,

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to make a speech.

0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:20.640
<v Speaker 2>That would have been great too, But I know.

0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:23.879
<v Speaker 1>That's it, right, it was going to be those two, right,

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.640
<v Speaker 1>so I said it was, but I did. I did

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>give her a little speech up at the rooftop bar

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.040
<v Speaker 1>with the white Russian. We toasted her with the right.

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.600
