00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:05,200

49
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: it was in synct That's why he wouldn't have done it.

50
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: If he was in ninety degrees, he would have done it.

51
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,000

52
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,639

54
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: we look Scott and I was petrified on top of

55
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: that Golden Those shots were terrifying. They were terrifying looking.

56
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: I mean I I experienced vertigo from time to time.

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: I I got a little crazy watching that stuff. And

58
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: you must have been up there all day waiting for

59
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: the helicopter to fly over because it wasn't a drone shot.

60
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: They didn't have drones back then. I mean, you must

61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: have been up there all day. How long were you

62
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: up at the top of the Golden Gate bridge waiting

63
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: for that shot to happen. It was definitely a couple

64
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: of hours. Yeah, it was so windy up there, Yeah, yeah,

65
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: it was. It was. It had its moments. Getting up there,

66
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: I think was probably even scarier than being up How

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: did how did you? How did you get up there?

68
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: By the way, in one of the towers, there's a

69
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: tidy elevator that I think it only what we can

70
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: only get three or four of us and two of

71
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: us at the time, and it goes up really slowly.

72
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: So and you're like, it's pretty weird experience. Man, I

73
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. And you're and and Jeff,

74
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: you're still jacked. Yeah, I'm trying to keep up with

75
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: the young bucks. Your lats were huge in the video.

76
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, look at this guy just just hitting the gym.

77
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: Look at them knowing he's got a big future ahead him.

78
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: He's got to stay in shape. So we were talking

79
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: about you came up in the uh you came up

80
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: in the in in in the last episode, and the

81
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: fans went crazy when we started talking about a little

82
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: bit in our recap and we said, we gotta have

83
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: these guys on. So Amy got in touch. He knows

84
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 1: you guys, So let me ask you something about this.

85
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: This were the rivalries between the boy bands, yel or

86
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: something generated by the press, Jeff, go ahead and address

87
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: this because a lot of people want to know this.

88
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: What's weird about it is it's really interesting. Contrary to

89
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: popular belief at the time, I think people thought that,

90
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: you know, we were adversarial towards those groups, but we

91
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: had nothing but great experiences in the mutual respect for

92
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: those guys because they were going through the same roller

93
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: coaster ride that we were. So we've got nothing. If

94
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: we had to choose one one group, they both had

95
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: so many hits. Both groups have so many cool members

96
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: that we're friends and friends with them, close with I

97
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: honestly couldn't pick one of the other. True what do

98
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: you think I mean? I'm I'm I'm closer with the

99
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: guys and then Sync than I am with the guys

100
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: and Backstory boys, so I would have to lean towards them.

101
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: But I know Jeff is cooler with a j and

102
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: the battery, so I think it's you know, like you said,

103
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: you can kind of take them. But they both have

104
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: uh they both went diamond on one of their records. Uh,

105
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: have sold god knows how many records, So I don't

106
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: think you go wrong with either of them. But you know,

107
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: if I had to choose between the three, still the best.

108
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean everybody knows that. Everybody knows even has the

109
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: Jeff still has the poster hanging up behind him. That's right,

110
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Flax and everything we're proud of. So what was that

111
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: experience like for you guys? I mean, you start out,

112
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: I read a little bit about how um uh Nick,

113
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't Nick that started the band? Was

114
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: it you? Jeff who kind of contacted Nick who was

115
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: in college and said, listen, what about this thing? You

116
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: maybe want to do this? So you guys knew each other.

117
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know Nick and True and Justin at all.

118
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: I brom different parts of a while. I actually started

119
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: the group some other guys and what to l A.

120
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: You couldn't there was no social media or YouTube, you know,

121
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: you had to go to where the action was. We

122
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: thought it was in l A, and we drove to

123
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: l A and ultimately those guys you know, didn't stick

124
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: with it. And you would think in l A you

125
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: would be able to find other talents. So I wanted

126
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: to stick with it. I put like ads in these

127
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, local magazines and and uh and you know,

128
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter and all that. I couldn't find audition a

129
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: bunch of people. And then ultimately I met a guy

130
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: who went to school with with these guys in Ohio

131
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: and he played me a tape of of a cover

132
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: band that Nick was in and I heard his voice

133
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: and I thought, man, this guy is incredible, and really

134
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: we spoke on the phone, and then you know, he

135
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: agreed to come out to l A and joined the group.

136
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: And then Justin came out, and Drew came out, and

137
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: then we h that's how we got we feel that's

138
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: how we formed our group. We formed it that way

139
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: in l A. I didn't even know what Nick looked

140
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: like at all. I was on the phone. I'm like,

141
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: are you good? Are you? How'd you? I actually said

142
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: how's your look? And he goes, uh, am I good

143
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: looking guy? Yeah? I mean how was gonna look? He goes, yeah,

144
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: I think so, And I was like, good enough, come

145
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: on out. And then that's how I hadn't seen him

146
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: till the day he arrived in l A. So uh,

147
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: and then we we we went, we went from there.

148
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: But it was a it was a great experience and

149
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: a very unique one compared to some of the other

150
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: bands were compared to. So so it happened pretty quick

151
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: for you guys. I mean within a year, didn't you

152
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: have a record deal at a pretty big place, a

153
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: big record company, And and uh, how aggressive were you

154
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: in the beginning getting your work out there and getting

155
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: in front of people and getting it heard by the

156
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: right people. Didn't you have some kind of oh you

157
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: did some kind of a cappella thing backstage at a

158
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: at a at a music festival or something or a

159
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: concert and that got blasted out live on TV. And

160
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: isn't that something that changed the game for you? Yeah,

161
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean that was even before I joined the group.

162
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: So I joined the group in uh not the Datus

163
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: November UM. And they had already they had already snuck

164
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: backstage at a Boys de Men concert tried to sing

165
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: for him for them. UM. Of course they couldn't get

166
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: close to Boys de Men because at that time Boys

167
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: de Men was, you know, the biggest thing on on

168
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: the planet. Um. But they sang for Montel Jordan's tour

169
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: manager who eventually became our manager. UM. And then I

170
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: joined in November nineties. Uh, we got signed in Motown.

171
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: So for for four white boys from Ohio getting signed

172
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: a Motown, it was kind of the uh kind of

173
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: the dream. Uh. You know, every group that we grew

174
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: up idolizing, whether it was boys that mounted the Temptations,

175
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: the Four Tops, Stevie wonder Um, every group that we

176
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: loved or solars for that matter, pretty much came from Motown. Unbelievable.

177
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: What what a story? So what was it like in

178
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: the beginning? I mean, how did it How did it start?

179
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: You get signed? Did you go into the studio right away?

180
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: Did you start writing your own material? Giving you material?

181
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: But were you writing your own material? How? How does that?

182
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: How does that work with you guys? In the beginning,

183
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a it's kind of a variety

184
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: of all the things. We got signed in l A

185
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: And the first thing that they said was all right,

186
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: now you got to pack up and moved to New York.

187
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: So immediately as soon as we got signed, We're like,

188
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: what but we just we just rented a new apartment

189
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 1: and this nice two bedroom apartment that the four of

190
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: us are in. What so we moved We moved to

191
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: New York and then uh, you know, we started we

192
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: started recording. I mean we were living in a hotel

193
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: right on Times Square. It sucked, um, you know, but

194
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: you know we started going into the studio and trying

195
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: to figure out what what our sound was gonna be,

196
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, this New Degrees Motown sound, um, and it was.

197
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: It was the It was a process going back and

198
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: forth at the label. They had one idea of what

199
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: we should be, where we should live, how we should

200
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: look all this stuff, and we had another idea. Um.

201
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: So it was kind of finding this this blend between

202
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: the two. And as far as music goes, I mean,

203
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: at that point, you know, everybody was submitting songs. Um.

204
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: You know, you had the biggest songwriters in the world

205
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: that would just submit songs, whether it's Diane Warren or

206
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: Steve Kittner. You know, Max mart was coming along at

207
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: that point. Um. Well he's already around but becoming a

208
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: household name at that point. Um. And we just found

209
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: the best songs that we possibly could I mean, whether

210
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: we wrote them or somebody else wrote them. If it

211
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: was a good song and we thought we could do

212
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: it justice, we would record it. And that's how we

213
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: that's how we worked. So you did your so that

214
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: all that work went into a debut album or a date,

215
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: couple of singles or what there was an album. It

216
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: was an album and at that time, you know, you

217
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time putting an album together. Now

218
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: you just you record stuff put you had speed and

219
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: you're out and running it with a single and EP

220
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: or you know, collection of singles. But with that that

221
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: back then it was full length albums. And I think

222
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: we've even spent probably a better part about almost a

223
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: year recording on you know, oh, you were doing song

224
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: after song and again Drew Drew was hit the nail

225
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: on the head and how we were trying to refine

226
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: our sound and certainly they had a certain idea to

227
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: maybe have us lean a little bit more urban and

228
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: then you know, um, we came out with Invisible Man.

229
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: We thought that was that best embodied what our group

230
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: was all about, and that was a big success for us.

231
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: But at the time getting our image matching our music,

232
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: they couldn't quite figure that out until Backstreet and Insinc.

233
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: Emerged on TRL and MTV and they're like, oh, we

234
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: have our own version of that, so let's actually put

235
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: their image out there and uh, let let us kind

236
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: of they let us kind of then to true to

237
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: ourselves with our imaging and are and we we wanted

238
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: our music to be in which direction as well. Talk

239
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: about the ramp up to you know, releasing the first

240
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: single or teasing the first single, or getting that first

241
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: uh you know, the first gig and feeling that excitement

242
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: from the fans. Talk about that a little bit. How

243
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: what was that like, I mean when we were when

244
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: we were first starting, there wasn't there wasn't a whole

245
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: lot of excitement from the fans. Uh. You know, Motown

246
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: booked us on these tours and like Jeff alluded to it,

247
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: like that, we they didn't they didn't put out pictures

248
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: of us at first. Um. Really they wanted people to

249
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: think that we were an R and B group. They

250
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: wanted us to think that we were Black Eyes or

251
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, so they didn't do that. We got marketed

252
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: to urban radio. We would go to clubs that that

253
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: lean more urban. So when you know, we walk out

254
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,359
Speaker 1: on stage and people are like, what come on? You know,

255
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: it took it a little bit of time for for

256
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: people to really kind of figure out who we were

257
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: and Luckily, we had a fantastic radio department in Motown

258
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: who literally just got invisible. Man played and played and

259
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: played to the point where, um, you know, you couldn't

260
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: you couldn't hide that we were white for very long.

261
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: That's when. That was when Ryan Seacrest and I were

262
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: with ninety degrees driving around in a van in San Francisco.

263
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't even know if you guys were that right?

264
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: Is that? Yeah? So Ryan Seacrest was working in radio

265
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: back then. This was like, that's right, he was in

266
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: a van with ninety degrees and were cruise around. I

267
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: don't even know what we're doing. We had we put

268
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: our pictures on the side. We wrapped it pictures so

269
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: we could get attention. People didn't know. So we would

270
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: go around like you said, and we picked up radio

271
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: people show what. We printed up our own spag. We

272
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: had our own T shirts. And what's crazy is two

273
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago Ryan Seacrest was with ninety degrees in Las Vegas.

274
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: So it's just like they've stood the test of time,

275
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: which is you know, I think so interesting about this

276
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls episode two, You guys keep that's funny. That's

277
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: she's got great stories. Um, yeah, so so so it

278
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: was really so you were playing a lot of clubs

279
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: and and and getting super tight. Were you really tight

280
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: when you started or did you really jell through the

281
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: live concert experiences? Well, I mean, I think clearly we

282
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: we were already tight. You know, we we were very

283
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: hard working. You know, we're we kind of pride ourselves

284
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: on being, you know, a blue collar boy band. You know,

285
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: we we put in the work, We work hard, we're

286
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: very we're very passionate about what we do, and we

287
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: want to put in the time that that represents the

288
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: respect that we that we have for what we do. Um.

289
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: So you know, we would rehearse hours a day and

290
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: just get our acapellas sound right and our blend right. Um.

291
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: So by the time we hit the road together, we

292
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: were already you know, we're our own dysfunctional family, you know,

293
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: rolling around and you know, getting on each other's nerves

294
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: just like brothers do. Um. You know, so it was, uh,

295
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: it was a process, but clearly, um, nobody else knows

296
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: exactly what we've been through except for the four of us.

297
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: So regardless of what happens and how many years go

298
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: by or you know, whether we're mad at each other

299
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: or not. We have a bond that that nobody else

300
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: can really appreciate or relate to. Um, you know, so

301
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: we're we're we truly are you know, four brothers? And

302
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: tell me about that first time where it was like, wow,

303
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: we've made it. Was it walking out onto a stage

304
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: and there's ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand people and

305
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: you'll look at each other like, good lord, look at this.

306
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: I think it's different stages, you know, at different stages

307
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: you go and look when you're a type A like

308
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: we're all type as we were called. We we never

309
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: quite think we've made it, you know what I mean.

310
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: We were always onto the next thing. But I think

311
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: for me, one of the first times was when we

312
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: actually heard our our first single, Invisible Man, on the

313
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: radio and kiss at them, you know, you know, a

314
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: big station in l A, the big famous one and

315
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: and uh you know we were driving in the al right,

316
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: it came on the radio. That's one of them. Obviously,

317
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: we we performed with Stevie Wonder on the Tonight Show

318
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: for the goodness alright, thin going our way. I mean,

319
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: there are so many of them it's really hard to

320
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: put pinpoint one of them. I mean, you're grateful for

321
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: all of them, and but you know they're they're always

322
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: a different stages of what you feel like is it

323
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: is a level of satisfying success. Yeah, what's the biggest

324
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: audience you're playing in from? What's the biggest ground? I

325
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: mean we've done certain certain radio shows festivals that are

326
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: a hundred plus thousand people. Um, you know which is

327
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's kind of awesome and it's like

328
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: breathtaking to be standing on stage in front of all

329
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: these people. But then at the same time, you can't

330
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: really see any of those people. It's hard. It's hard

331
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: to connect to a hundred thousand people. So I mean

332
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: me personally, I like I like the smaller, you know,

333
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: more intimate uh settings. You know, if you're like a

334
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: couple of thousand people, to me, like a small theater vibe.

335
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: I love that. That's that's where I really uh, that's

336
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: where I really get inspired. Right, Talk a little bit

337
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: about this, whether the media uh invented this and fueled

338
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: this or whether it was real this this rivalry between

339
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: the boy bands. To talk a little bit about that

340
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: and and do you think it helped focus uh the

341
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: fans attention on all of you collectively. Well, look, well,

342
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: you know that we hadn't heard about the term boy

343
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: band before. So when we started our group, we were

344
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: inspired by the motown groups for tops and Attempts and

345
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, classic rock harmonies like you talked about, like

346
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: My Journey in Boston and the Eagles and and so

347
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: we wanted to be a vocal group and do wop groups.

348
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: So we didn't know what a boy band was until

349
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: we went over to Sas to Europe and we ran

350
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: into and Sitco over there, who was working in Backstreet

351
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: Boys was emerging in the US, So we didn't really

352
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: compare ourselves to those groups at that time. Eventually the

353
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: public did, and obviously there was sort of sort of

354
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: some sort of riff between Backstreet and in st because

355
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: they came from the same camp and same management. So

356
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: that might have existed there and that's well documented. But

357
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: with regards to us, we didn't even think we're the

358
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 1: same kind of group, so we we didn't mind it.

359
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: And then I think in the beginning, being called a

360
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: boy band it has sort of a connotation that you

361
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: don't really sing, and you don't sing live, and you know,

362
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: everything's produced and manufactured. So we didn't like that. But

363
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: then later, you know, when you're compared to groups like

364
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: Drew was saying, they they go Diamond and didn't sell

365
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: ten million copies of an album, and you're mentioned in

366
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: the same breath as these legends. I mean we certainly,

367
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: we certainly didn't mind it at that point. I don't

368
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: think m um. And it lasted how long? I mean

369
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: you took a break in what two thousand and three,

370
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure when did we take a bag like

371
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: two thousand, right at the end of two thousand and one,

372
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: so really yeah, so we you know, we did our

373
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: our last thing before we kind of went in different directions,

374
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: as we did. On September two thousand one in New

375
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: York we did that Michael Jackson special, uh, you know,

376
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: where we performed with Luther and Usher and it was

377
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: a really big thing at Madison Square. Then the next

378
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: day was September eleven, and we were in the midst

379
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: of finishing up the door and everything was so up

380
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: in the air and crazy and scary. We kind of

381
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: just went in our separate directions and then you know,

382
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: went onto our own lives and really didn't get back

383
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: together until twelve, So you know, what what seemed to

384
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: be like a short break, and it wasn't anything like

385
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: we we broke up or you know, we had some

386
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: sort of falling out. We were tired for sure from

387
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: the grind, but it was nothing that you know that

388
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: you know, sort of outside of what happened on September eleven.

389
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: This sort of take took us in different directions and

390
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: then we all had you know, I had a baby

391
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: and was getting married and kid on the way, and

392
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: you know, everybody had different things going on. And then

393
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: eventually we missed it and got back together in twelve

394
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: and we've been back together ever since. But what about

395
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: what about some kind of nostalgia tours? Have you been

396
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: doing those? Because I know a lot of bands you

397
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: know that are from this even from the sixties or seventies,

398
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: they're getting booked all over the place because people want

399
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: to hear the music. You know, all of those memories

400
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: from all of your fan base from you know, ninety

401
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: five or ninety six to two thousand and one, those

402
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: memories will be with him for life and they'll come

403
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: see you forever. Um, So how has that been for

404
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: you in terms of the number of people you're getting

405
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: at your shows. I mean that's been great. Honestly. Since

406
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: we got back together in two thousand and twelve, we

407
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: uh we went on an arena tour with New Kids

408
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: on the Block and Boys the Men, and we pretty

409
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: much haven't stopped touring since We've done a couple of

410
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: holiday tours. We did another tour called the My two

411
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: K Tour with oh Town and Dream and Ryan Cabrera,

412
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: which is kind of kind of what you're talking about,

413
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: kind of along that, you know, TRL nostalgia. Um. And

414
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: then we've honestly been doing what we call a weekend

415
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: Warrior model now where we've just been going around and

416
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: doing different weekend shows because you know, three of the

417
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: four of us are fathers and have families with kids,

418
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: and you know, um, it's important for us to make

419
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: sure we prioritize our family too, not just literally hit

420
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: the road for eight months at a time and be

421
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: like he all right, kids, I'll come back after you're

422
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: done with puberty. Uh No. Hey, That's why I think

423
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: this episode resonated because we're getting just so many comments

424
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: on social media right now because we talked about in

425
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: the episode, and Scott will explain, Uh, the main character Rory.

426
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: Her grandma asked her which posters she wants on the wall,

427
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: and she ends up with a nine D degrees poster

428
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: on the wall. And it plays as well today as

429
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: it did when it aired in two thousand one, you know,

430
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: when you guys were kind of at the height of

431
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: it all. And I think that's so interesting. And with

432
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls the fans, there's this new generation, a new

433
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: generation new and new fans keep coming and I think

434
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: that it works just as well with the young new

435
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: people as it did with my age that saw it

436
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: back then. So my question for you guys, Sorry Scott,

437
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: I didn't want to interrupt, What does that feel like

438
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: to be so integrated in pop culture that you're in

439
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: this show, your posters on the wall, and this show

440
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: has millions and millions of fans that span over twenty years.

441
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: Like I want to know what that feels like to

442
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: be a hurt of that. I mean, it's really an honor.

443
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean when when you you know, when you start

444
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: a group like this, you hope and dream for things

445
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: like that, and you know, going in that, the odds

446
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: of of being still in the mix twenty five years later,

447
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: and we're going out and you know we can to

448
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: show the other night here in Vegas. Vegas is always

449
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: a scary heart market. There's so much competition. We had

450
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: four thousand people out there, you know, twenty five years

451
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: later and before that festival that had twelve thousand and

452
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: four that eight. I mean, we're playing for the same amount,

453
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: if not more numbers now because of the nostalgia play

454
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: like you said that that that that we relate to

455
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: a time in people's lives that was an innocent time

456
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: that you know, most of our fans were young teenagers

457
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: so and they met a lot of their fans at

458
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: our show. So there are a lot of different hooks

459
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: that have led us and allowed us to continue to

460
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: live this dream this many years later. So for us,

461
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: for I mean, we're honored and it's always great and

462
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: amazing and surreal to see people out there singing the

463
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: words to your songs this many years later, bringing their kids.

464
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: Their kids are singing the words of the song signs

465
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: in the audience. So have you ever had a moment

466
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: where your own kids are watching something like Gilmore Girls

467
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: and you guys are mentioned and they're like dad, like

468
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: you know something like that? Were my daughter and my

469
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: wife were watching Gilmore Girls. Now they literally were watching

470
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: it and and the the episode that you're talking about.

471
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: They were streaming the whole thing and they watched it

472
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: and and my daughter literally, I mean, um, her dad.

473
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: You know, she doesn't think of me as anything other

474
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: than that for the most part, and she sees our poster.

475
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: I think it might be the one the was it

476
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: the fireman poster. We'll have to pull We'll pull a screenshot.

477
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: I recognized the poster. It was like, I don't remember

478
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: which one it was, but she was like, oh my god,

479
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: dad John Gilmore Girls. I was like, yeah, I know.

480
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: And for her that was like, no, seriously, you're on

481
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: Gilmore's deal. To her, I was just shooting, yeah, just shooting.

482
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: And my son was watching it. He had his friends.

483
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: They and then they pulled it up on YouTube and

484
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: we're just like laughing about it. Watching you. I don't

485
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: know if that's cool or not, but you know, they

486
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: were watching it. But for me, honestly, the whole Gilmore

487
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: Girl I remember when it happened originally when it first aired,

488
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: and you know, our fan base was like, oh my goodness, yes,

489
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: they're all Gilmore Girls. That's awesome. But for me, you know,

490
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: that's that's that was what that was twenty years ago. Yeah,

491
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: I think it was like April May two thousand one

492
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: will pull the exact day, but I think so it

493
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: was sort of right before before you guys were saying

494
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: you took a break, So it was right at the

495
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: height of it all and the height of these boy bands.

496
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean, my my daughter's fifteen and a half. She

497
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 1: wasn't even alive when that happened. For her, this is

498
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: this is the closest she ever gets to seeing like

499
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: kind of no, I mean not to sound, you know, arrogant,

500
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: but how big we were. I mean, it's it's uh,

501
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: if you were big, you were big. You can brag

502
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: about it. You guys were treat did okay, okay, alright.

503
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: It's interesting how many fans are writing in because in

504
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: the episode that you I'm sure you remember, it's in

505
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: saying ninety degrees and then Emily Gilmurg calls them the

506
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: backside boys. But we're getting so many fans writing and

507
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: new kids on the block, new kids on the block,

508
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 1: so they were sort of forgotten a little bit at

509
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: that time because they hadn't sort of had their big

510
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: come back yet. But I think it's so interesting because

511
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: I do think it plays as well today twenty years later. Yeah.

512
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: So the original air date of this episode was April

513
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: two thousand one, twenty years ago. You know, it does

514
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: answer the question because fans are you know, I was

515
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: always mystified when I was a teenager why people broke

516
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: up in great bands and this kind of a thing.

517
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: And and it's always kids. They have kids, and you

518
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: don't want to be away from your kids. And I

519
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: had a son, and I was on the road a lot,

520
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: and I called my wife and I said, I'm coming home.

521
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: I can't do this anymore. I miss him. I don't

522
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: want to miss even a moment of his childhood. And

523
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: he I mean, he was God at that time, he

524
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: was three years old. But I didn't want to miss it.

525
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to be one

526
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: of those dads. So I get it. I get it.

527
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys did the good thing. You're good guys.

528

558
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Jeff. We'll talk to you. Jeff, you invented,

559
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: you invent you started degrees. You're the guy. Well, yes,

560
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: I have more way, you're the guy. He's the guy.

561
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: I started it trying to you know, look, in college,

562
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: I've had no idea what I was doing. I wasn't

563
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: even really into music that much. I was always I

564
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: always got pulled into doing music. I can't form a

565
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: really small time. It's all about football, so I want

566
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: to play football, and thinking wasn't cool. But we were

567
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: at a party and I had been so many different

568
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: vocal groups and stuff, and we were trying to impress

569
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: some girls. So it really was very shallow the reason

570
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: I started the group. But then I love I fell

571
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: in love with the music and the business part of

572
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: the behind the music and all the inner workings. What

573
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: what people like you do and how all the different

574
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: marketing that goes into promotions and just became a nerd

575
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: of the entertainment business in general. Interesting that you say that, Jeff,

576
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: because the one thing I will say about boy bands,

577
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, knowing Lamp so well in ages so well,

578
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: is these guys grind like, they work hard. They'll do

579
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: whatever we need them to do all the time. And

580
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: they're always doing you know, they always have fifty different

581
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: things going. And maybe that's just the mentality you have

582
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: to have to be in a group like that. Well, look,

583
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: and I think we've all experienced what it's like when

584
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: you don't pay attention to the business part. All three

585
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: group have their horror stories about you know, look getting

586
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: robbed and you know, you know the things that most

587
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: artists can counter at one point or another in their

588
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: careers with regards to the financial part and all that.

589
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: So we had to learn learn the business quickly. And

590
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 1: you know, for us, you know, we didn't have there

591
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: you go is h what's your name? H? She was

592
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: doing her homework, so okay, came down. What's your name

593
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: is Scott? Nice to meet you. How are young? This

594
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: is my oldest. My youngest is eleven, and he's probably

595
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: bouncing around somewhere too. He hasn't girls yet. We have

596
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: to know if you like Gilmore Girls, are you Luke

597
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: and Lorali forever and always? Are you Team Jess, Team

598
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: Logan or team Dean? I don't know, probably team Jess.

599
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: So there you go. There you go, fast day with family.

600
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: Gotta keep keeping in the family. And then literally during

601
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: all of COVID um, you know, of course, families were

602
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: bonding and watching different stuff, and I would literally walk

603
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: into the room and her and my wife would be

604
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: like laying on the couch together watching just Gilmore Girls.

605
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: And then they get mad if somebody went an episode ahead,

606
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: and then they have to catch up. So it was

607
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: like the it was the whole, the whole thing. So

608
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: Young Moore girls help get our family through COVID and quarantine.

609
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: So thank you, well, no, thank you my god. I mean,

610
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, I was I was just a small part

611
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,160

00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,120

Speaker 1: just with them in Vegas. She was literally just with him.

663
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: We will. They'll. They've been playing Vegas a bunch, but

664

Speaker 1: be a drummer and I didn't make it, but I

671
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: still want to compare my respects to the boys. Do

672
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: it al right, everybody, we'll be back after these words. Yeah, alright, everybody,

673
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: We're back and we are ready to discuss ps I love,

674
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: which I did not know what on earth you were

675
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: talking about last week when you say and we'll break

676
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: down ps L dot dot dot so we don't know

677
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: how to I thought my computer was like you know,

678
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: the the internet connection was unstable again and you were

679
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: going ps about that, and I'm like, what what did

680
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: you say? What did you say? Anyway, you have a question,

681
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: so right off the bat and Riley you chime into.

682
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: Because this has befuddled me for like a number of episodes.

683
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't understand why Rory didn't just tell her mom

684
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: at least, but tell everybody what actually happened. Like, it's

685
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: so weird that we've had this weird misunderstanding where everyone's

686
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: so mad at Dean when really, yeah, Dean didn't do anything.

687
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: I think there's a measure of shame. She didn't want

688
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: to admit that she couldn't say it back, and she

689
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: was I think she was just really confused. I mean,

690
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 1: she's sixteen and all these feelings he's intended. She's obviously

691
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: very intelligent. You know, she's got that backbone made of

692
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: iron that she inherited from her mother and her grandmother.

693
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: And I just think there's a level of shame that

694
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: you don't want to admit that you don't have it together,

695
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: and you you sort of choked in the in the moment,

696
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: but what didn't you don't really understand the reason why, Yeah, Okay.

697
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: So that's a great, great satisfying answer to my question.

698
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: And that makes the scene in Rory's bedroom at Emily's

699
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: that much more poignant because Laurel I says, this is

700
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: my fault that you felt this um yeah that that

701
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: last speech. It's and and it really, you know, it

702
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: boils down to, you know, the example that Laurel is

703
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: setting for her and Rory just like just rakes her

704
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: over the coals in that walk and talk in front

705
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: of high school like well, you know, you know, my god,

706
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: well you'll just break up and then get back together

707
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: and you'll break up again, and like I don't even

708
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: want to, like, you know, invest in that. Just let

709
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: me know when you're like it's in the late innings

710
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: and I'll you know, I'll tune in or something. And

711
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: she ever give a serious answer, like she calls out

712
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: lower life for all the pity. Yeah, like enough with

713
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: the bs and just I'm not in the mood right now.

714
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: It's like it's she's almost like a more mature version,

715
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: uh of her mother, almost. But and stop deflecting and

716
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: stop trying to keep everything light and let's get real here,

717
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: because these are serious issues for her and it's like, hey, mom,

718
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: these your life decisions are impacting me in a very

719
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: deep way, and I want to talk about it. And

720
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm confused about it, and I don't understand half of it,

721
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: you know. And it's like, you know, Max this and

722
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: Max that and Dean and you know it's it's it's

723
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: tough stuff. And how do you feel if your teacher

724
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: calls for class? I mean, that was like, oh, this

725
00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: is just so uncomfortable. And and there are the those

726
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: of you out there that hate this when I talk

727
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: about acting, but I love talking about acting. So I'm

728
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: going to talk about acting again, so you may. We will,

729
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: we will allow it. I thought it was one of

730
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: Alexis's best moment in front of a camera when she

731
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: had that scene with Scott Cohen with Max and she

732
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: was finding out. I mean, how wonderfully subtle her work was,

733
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: and just like she couldn't believe it, but man, she

734
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: she was. She was keeping her feelings closed to the

735
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: vest enough that he couldn't see it, but enough that

736
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: we could. So that was great she was. I think

737
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: that's perfectly said she that we all felt uncomfortable. Yeah,

738
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: these kids are good. I mean Jared and and Alexis

739
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: are just they really showed what kind of acting chops

740
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: they had. That's all I'll say about the acting. I

741
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: don't want to piss anybody off. What you have to

742
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: say a little more. You have to say more because

743
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: that scene upsets people, Jared and Lauren in in Doci's

744
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: Market because she's up in his face and he was

745
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: so perfect act and then sort of like leave me alone, lady,

746
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: like your daughter hurt me right, And he's got to

747
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: play that fine line of not getting angry and making

748
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: you know, making everybody turn the channel and with and

749
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: also not playing the victim at the same time, this

750
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: sort of justifiable intensity. And that's he's he was a

751
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: very fine young actor at eighteen years old. He was

752
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: eighteen years old. I mean, imagine, I agree these two

753
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: are just anyway. That's all I'll say about the acting.

754
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: Do you think Lane should have just told Rory right

755
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: off the bat that because obviously shouldn't pick Dean to

756
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: be her partner. Obviously they got paired. Should she have

757
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: just told her? Look this blows, but like you know,

758
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: Mr So and So put us together and now I

759
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: got to have Dean at my house because it was

760
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: so brutal when Rory walks in. I think Lane has

761
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: so much crept to deal with from her own mother

762
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: that she didn't really want to you know, she really

763
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: didn't want to heap that onto to Rory when she

764
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: knows she's heartbroken and she knows she's going through a

765
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: hard time. Uh, it would have just been it probably

766
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: would have just felt like, you know, rubbing salt in

767
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: the wound, and she didn't want to do that, but

768
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: she had this reality. And there again, there maybe there

769
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 1: should have been an explanation as to how they ended

770
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: up as study partners. I was wondering, like, boy, that

771
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: there's a piece here missing, and maybe that's intentional, because

772
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: how did she end up with him? Because it would

773
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: have been easy in one sentence to explain it. They didn't,

774
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: So I agree there was some intention quick scene like

775
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: you know, it's a you know, it's a pot pourri

776
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. They picked the scene part or whatever. They

777
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: were paired right right, or they happened to share the

778
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: same passion for a certain area of biology and I

779
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: don't know, frog digestive systems or something which would have

780
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: made that joke work a little better. At the dinner table,

781
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: which and it was still good. There's so many heavy

782
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: things happening because you haven't even dealt with yet. That

783
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 1: Rory after she has the big fight, tells no one

784
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: and just gets in a cab and goes to her grandparents.

785
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: And I think, wow, that said a lot that she's

786
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: that close with them. Now. She didn't go to Lane,

787
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: she didn't go to Suki, she didn't go she went

788
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: to her grandparents. Well, listen, I remember talking about this

789
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: in the beginning, about how inappropriate the Max Laurel I

790
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: think was, And I knew the chickens would have come

791
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: home to roost at some point, and there they did

792
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: in that episode. Uh. And I hate to say I

793
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: told you so, but I told you so. And and

794
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: I think it's there's an emotional logic that makes this

795
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: show so great because you predict what's going to happen

796
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: without it really seeing it coming. Almost. I mean, it's

797
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: it's like, when is it going I feel it should happen,

798
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: it could happen, but I don't know when it's going

799
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: to happen. It doesn't happen in an obvious way, and

800
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: it happens down the line, and there it was, there was,

801
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 1: there was the blow up. It's like, you know, people

802
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: sort of not being open and not communicating and not

803
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: trusting each other enough and not telling people stuff when

804
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: they should. And that's those seeds were planted in the

805
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: very beginning of the show. Like that that Emily and

806
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: Richard welcomed her right in that made me you know,

807
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: they really, they really, she is their top priority. They'll

808
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: cancel their plans. They don't care that they're all dressed

809
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,959
Speaker 1: up and ready to go. She comes first to them,

810
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 1: and I think she knows that now. So I did

811
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: sort of like that, and I thought, Emily, you know,

812
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: something that really stood out to me was there at

813
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: the table and Roy says, oh, you talk to my mom?

814
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: Is she mad? And Emily says she was concerned? And

815
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: I thought the way Emily handled that was so beautiful

816
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: because Emily, you know, could have been snarkier, but no,

817
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: she handled it. Would have it would have ruined the character.

818
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: She'd handle it any other way. She had to be classing,

819
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: up front and honest. She had to be. And you know,

820
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: there's one thing that just popped in my head, the

821
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: operative word in this episode, I think as far as

822
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: Rory's story is concerned, as protection and she mentioned that

823
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: a couple of times, like why does everybody feel like

824
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: they have to protect me? And stop protecting me? This

825
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: kind of thing. And she has a real point, and

826
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: I think that's why she was cast. Not only is

827
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: she skilled, but her the way she looks and that

828
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: sweet little voice, you do want to protect her. So

829
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 1: they had to get somebody that exuded vulnerability. Um, and

830
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: there you have it, Um, there you have it, and

831
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: that and that actress right there in alexis Um. Such

832
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: a sweet face and such a sweet voice, and such

833
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: a such a fine mind, you know, to go along,

834
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: and such a good heart. And I mean, what what

835
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: a what a wonderful, wonderful person she is, And who

836
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to protect her? I mean everybody? I mean

837
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: look at look at what Look at what Lane goes through.

838
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: I mean Lane acted like a jilted lover, like she

839
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: is devastated. She was so happy for that hug at

840
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: the end performance. And look, I don't pretend to be

841
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: like the best acting critic in the world, but to me,

842
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: performance is flawless. There's they all just seems so real. Yeah,

843
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: you can't criticize I mean, from Richard all the way

844
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: to Kirk like and in between, like every single performance

845
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:31,479
Speaker 1: just is flawless. I agree, and every little bit too

846
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: because we there's always so many storylines. We haven't even

847
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: talked about your crappy cat gift and the makeover because

848
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: that was major, like that cat, you know, the you

849
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: know the cat gift Jesus that the cat pottled or

850
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: so bad. So that's the that's the real question, isn't

851
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: it is Laurel I acting more as a friend or

852
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: more as the person try to drive a wedge between

853
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: his successful relationship with seeing some light at the end

854
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: of the tunnel for looking Laura life. It's not intentional,

855
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: but no, I don't think it was shopping. It's not intentional,

856
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: but nobody is shopping for their body right, shop for

857
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: their boyfriend, like exactly, come yeah, I just is he

858
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: that clueless where you know he just needs some but

859
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: a friend like that to do that for him? No,

860
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: because it was so that's what a husband and wife do.

861
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: Like the whole thing was like the way a couple behaves,

862
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: except that these two just won't acknowledge their a couple

863
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: because no dude is going to try on some just

864
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: friends random outfit you did it because it's her. Come on.

865
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: The whole thing is so blatant. Are they so in

866
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: love and so unaware of it that they just fall

867
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: into this rhythm? See they do. They fall into that

868
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: rhythm with each other right away. It doesn't matter the circumstance.

869
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: I mean, then Rachel and she leaves. As soon as

870
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: Rachel walks in, she Laura I just says, well, okay, bye.

871
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: It's like thing is just so again flawless because he

872
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: Luke takes the outfit. Of course it looks great on him,

873
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: and then the belt breaks and he's got the belt on.

874
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: Come on. But that's telling you know, that's telling Rachel

875
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: pretty much we're not going to work out because you know,

876
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: why isn't she doing that? And why is she doing

877
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: that with Laura? Why is he doing that with Laura La?

878
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: And what is going on? Those two look like they're

879
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: along together. And yeah, I don't think Luke. Luke wouldn't

880
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: have allowed Laura La to do it, and he really

881
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: didn't allow her to do it. Um, But if he

882
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: was really in love with Rachel and really wanted to

883
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: have something really and he felt a real future was happening,

884
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: he would have told her and he did. He never

885
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: would have agreed to the wardrobe fitting, correct, He would

886
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: not have put the clothes on and come out and

887
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 1: been fitted and you know, been his sort of complaining self.

888
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: But you know, he wouldn't have let it get to

889
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: that point because he would have been like, like, what

890
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: if Rachel sees us. I mean, it's right in the diners,

891
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: right in your face. Is not a cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater.

892
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: But I mean, come on, it's like those two are

893
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: so connected and they have the chemistry and they have

894
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: the whole thing. That's his cheating. He can't help himself

895
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: with Laurela. He's already like emotionally kind of cheating because

896
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: he has the feelings. He might not be admitting it

897
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: to himself, but like all of us are like, I mean,

898
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: but look at him. I mean, he not only did

899
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: a rant, a rant over the what is the meal

900
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: gloves or the kitten gloves or whatever they were? The

901
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:54,720
Speaker 1: kitten ofven mets were okay, So he did that rant

902
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: about giving gifts, and then he did a double rant, right,

903
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: what was the double rant over he did? And he

904
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: had her the credit card also so quickly. Those are

905
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: not things you do like you you do that with

906
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: someone that you're so tight with, like they acted like

907
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: a married because they've been married. Spend it's just like

908
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 1: here's my credit card, like I completely trust you, what's

909
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: mine is yours like it's just And she handles the

910
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: rants so beautifully because she's amused by it. And this

911
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: is Luke And this is what I love about Luke.

912
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: He's so unfiltered and so real that I love this guy.

913
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: And she stands there and does her funny little lines

914
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: and she's the only one that can probably handle him totally.

915
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: And we're also realizing how doomed, for lack of a

916
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: better word, Mr Medina, Max and Loria Lee are because

917
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: she didn't even tell anybody. And I know she's sort

918
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: of backpedaling that at the end, but it's like, come on, yeah,

919
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: you know I I have very little commentary about the

920
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: Max Medina today this episode, which will make some people

921
00:47:55,560 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: very happy. I'm sure you know my comment on Max

922
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: Medinas that's a head of hair. That's a nice set

923
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: of hair, isn't it. Let's be let's let's be positive

924
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: about Max Medina. That poor s O B is in

925
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: a situation. I mean, he walked into the middle of

926
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: a volcano, an active volcano, and the poor guy is

927
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: just getting lava all over him and he's just he's

928
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna get burned. He's getting burned totally. It's

929
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: getting so it's getting more and more obvious that that's

930
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: going to happen. And I think the scene in the

931
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: bedroom at the Gilmore's, you know, Richard and Emily's, where

932
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: Loyal lies opening up about her own flaws and how

933
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: she doesn't want Rory to have those flaws. You realize again,

934
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 1: Max isn't prepared for this, but Luke is. Luke knows

935
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: her and can handle this completely, whereas Max is all like,

936
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: why don't you tell Rory? Oh? You know, honestly, dude,

937
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: she's not ready. She didn't tell anybody because she's not

938
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: ready to admit any of this. You know, any judgments

939
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: or criticism that you may have had during the episode

940
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: towards Laurelay's character are wiped away in that scene, that

941
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 1: very last scene, because she comes off so smart and

942
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: so loving and so caring and so just brilliant a mother.

943
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: I agree, and I don't want to pass my flaws

944
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: onto you. And I know I have them right. It's

945
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: it's just what a gorgeous scene. And that was a

946
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 1: scene that that was a gory That was my favorite scene.

947
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 1: It was just gorgeous. It really was just a beautiful scene. Yeah,

948
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 1: because it really made you they had so much tension

949
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: and with that explanation everything was okay and they were

950
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: good and I thought it was really cool, even though

951
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: there was a moment of sort of snark in it

952
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: that Laura Lee said, thank you mom. Yeah, you know,

953
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 1: I think she'd snarky right out, but it was great.

954
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: It was like, how much would you want to live

955
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: in that house? We'll see you tomorrow night seven o'clock shop,

956
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: Oh is it seventh? Good night, Laurela. It's like to

957
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: at that house with a homemade pop tart and the

958
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: lamb sandwich, like the whole thing. I'm like, no, wonder

959
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: you want to go here? Me too? I mean that

960
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: place is how rich are a bay? I know we

961
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 1: always say it, but it's like there's just something to

962
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: make you, like a homemade breakfast and the skirts being ironed,

963
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: and it's just like what a place that it? How

964
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: great with it? When Richard popped his newspaper back up

965
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: after Emily said, you know, you know, or you've you've

966
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: never nobody's ever been able to get Richard lower and

967
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:53,240
Speaker 1: stop reading his newspaper and then the whole thing each

968
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: episode and I know, I just we say this like

969
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: a broken record, but each episode tops the one before.

970
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: That's not I know, how does it get better than this?

971

991
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: to get through it all, speed round. Okay. So first

992
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: we have Laura, Lee and Rory are in the diner

993
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: and they're playing the game as men walked by one

994
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: to three. You know, he's yours and Laura Lie says,

995
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: because I'm not. Anna Nicole Smith after pointing to an

996
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: old man. So while before performing at a Houston strip

997
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: club in October nineteen and one, Smith met eighty six

998
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: year old petroleum tycoon J. Howard Marshall. Anna married her husband, J.

999
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: Howard Marshall, and the two had a sixty three year

1000
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: aged gap between them. So Anna was in you know,

1001
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: hot water when there was quite a scandal when the

1002
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,280
Speaker 1: question came to be who the father was of her daughter,

1003
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: Danny Lynn. Yeah, that was after the old guy died, right, yes,

1004
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: he passed away. So then they went on to the

1005
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: scandal scandal and Anna's living partner, Howard case Stern's name

1006
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: was on the birth certificate, but the actual father ended

1007
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: up being Larry Burkhead, who you know he's now the father.

1008
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: Moving on, While on the phone with Max, Laura Lai

1009
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: asked Max to make a gorilla sound and he says why,

1010
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 1: and she says, I want to play and I want

1011
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: to play Wild Kingdom. So we have made reference to

1012
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: this before Gilmore Girls Girls did in season one, episode fourteen.

1013
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: But here a couple more fun facts. The show came

1014
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: under heavy criticism for staging scenes of animal capture or

1015
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,320
Speaker 1: rescue for simply a dramatic effect, and Johnny Carson, the

1016
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: legendary talk show host, was a huge fan of the show.

1017
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: Laura I buys closed for Luke as we talked about

1018
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: in the diner at the mall, and would like for

1019
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: him to try something new. Laura I says, just for once,

1020
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be nice to be dressed like an extra?

1021
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: For Seven Brides and Seven Brothers. This is a nine

1022
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: four American musical film. For the bride's costumes designer Walter

1023
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: Plunkett went to the Salvation Army found old quilts and

1024
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: turned them into dresses. And it was originally supposed to

1025
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: be called a bride for seven brothers. But they thought

1026
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: this would be a little too risk. Ay, you have

1027
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: two minutes too much? Okay, Laura I finds out Rory

1028
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 1: is that Emily and Richard's house, and more, liceays to

1029
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: Max know that house is not safe. It's like Amityville Hohore,

1030
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,919
Speaker 1: without the fun, without the good times. So The Annimityville

1031
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 1: Horror is a book by American author j Anson was

1032
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: published in nineteen seventy seven. It is also the basis

1033
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: for a series of films ranging from nineteen seventy nine

1034
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: to one. The nineteen seventy nine films started James Berlin

1035
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: and Market kidder Um. The two thousand five renditions started

1036
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George. Okay, next we have Laura

1037
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: Lee is talking about how Rory is so much like

1038
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: Laura Lie but does not want her to be like that.

1039
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 1: In the love life department, Laura lies for it. Says,

1040
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: for example, say you're dating Taylor Hanson. Roy says Hanson

1041
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 1: still together. Laura La says, they're like the New Begs.

1042
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: Another boy brand reference, another boymand reference, and all three

1043
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 1: of them are actually still together. All three are married,

1044
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: and they have about fifteen kids between the three of them.

1045
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: Moving on to the bgs. Bgs were popular in the

1046
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: late nineteen seventies. The three brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice

1047
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: were best friends and all headhouses right next to each

1048
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: other might be Morris. I think it's spelled Maurice, but

1049
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: it's Morris. Laura Lai says, good, Okay. Last week we

1050
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: were talking about Meryl Streep in the whole Accent thing,

1051
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: and Rachel said that she loved Out of Africa, but

1052
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: she had never read the book. Remember so Out of

1053
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: Africa's American epic romantic dramas. Darring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford,

1054
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: the film was basically based loosely on the book. Meryl

1055
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: Streep was nominated for Best Actress in the Leading role,

1056
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: but sadly did not win. UM. Moving on to the

1057
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: next one, Dean asked Lane this question after meeting Mrs

1058
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: Kim because this is kim is demanding and strict personality.

1059
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: Dean says, how she seen Patton Patton Is In nineteen

1060
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: seventy American epic biographic more film UM. George C. Scott

1061
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: won the Academy Award for Best Actor and famously refused

1062
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 1: to accept it, claiming the competition between actors was unfair.

1063
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 1: Last one, Laura and Emily are in the hallway after
