Speaker 4: When she was doing the Madam X era.
Speaker 6: She was seeing the visuals the film for it, you know, yeah,
Speaker 6: and she was doing an event in New York and

Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: He reached out and was like, hey, Madonna is interested.
Speaker 6: Would you fly out? And I was like, of course,
Speaker 6: you know, like most part, I think we had like
Speaker 6: two days she told us like two days before something
Speaker 6: like that. It was very short amount of time. So
Speaker 6: I had to get looks together, get hair together, all.
Speaker 1: And and you're on the I think the the Madam
Speaker 1: X Tour, which it's it's sort of a rockumentary. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's on Paramount, I believe, right, is it on Paramount?
Speaker 1: And you and Simone and Aquaria I think it's Aquaria right, Aquaria,
Speaker 1: U do the Q and A. So they're they're fielding
Speaker 1: questions from the audience for Madonna Donald and they're.
Speaker 3: Going, I think at one point you say bitch. You
Speaker 3: even called her bitch.
Speaker 1: I mean in a loving way, but I was like,
Speaker 1: it's dying inside and that day that you filmed that,
Speaker 1: I was in New York City shooting Law and Order
Speaker 1: Organized crime, and I was shooting that day but at night,
Speaker 1: late at night, and I walked. I was staying near
Speaker 1: the Edison Hotel where you guys shot that, and I
Speaker 1: stood outside with all the fans in the rain like this,
Speaker 1: waiting to see Madonna and you were inside like chilling
Speaker 1: with her, like drinking martinis.
Speaker 3: I know what the fuck?
Speaker 2: This was before you two had worked together, so you
Speaker 2: didn't have the number.
Speaker 6: To Yeah, this is like a year before to the point,
Speaker 6: because we shot Bros. In October too, didn't we? So
Speaker 6: I think that was the year. It was the year after, Yeah,
Speaker 6: like literally a year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're crazy.
Speaker 2: But listen, bone, yes, tell us. How did you stumble
Speaker 2: upon Oh my God scandal? Where and when and how
Speaker 2: did it start?
Speaker 4: Okay? So I'm og. I've been there since one.
Speaker 6: Day, one moment, and I remember watching the trailer on ABC.
Speaker 6: And I'm a drama person. I love drama. I love
Speaker 6: soap operas, and I love all I love when everything
Speaker 6: is just over dramatic and everything.
Speaker 4: It's just it's just my much.
Speaker 6: And so I remember watching the trailer and be like,
Speaker 6: I'm intrigued. I don't know what it's about necessarily, but
Speaker 6: I'm intrigued, and so I watched it and I was
Speaker 6: immediately obsessed with it. I love when you have to
Speaker 6: watch every episode to understand what's going on. In every episode,
Speaker 6: a piece of the puzzle comes together, but you're still like,
Speaker 6: what's happening, and you don't know what's happening until literally
Speaker 6: the last thirty minutes of the last episode of the season.
Speaker 4: So I don't know.
Speaker 6: I was just really was just called to it. And
Speaker 6: of course Carrie Washington, I was always a fan of her.
Speaker 2: Were you like an appointment viewer where you were like
Speaker 2: tuning in every Thursday night and like on Twitter or
Speaker 2: you were watching later?
Speaker 4: That's what I was in.
Speaker 6: This was high school for me, I think eleventh grade
Speaker 6: when it came out.
Speaker 2: You're so, yeah, yeah, I grew up.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: Those are such impressionable, are they really are? Right? That's
Speaker 2: very impressionable.
Speaker 4: The Scandal is like my top five show.
Speaker 6: Like it's like when I have a top five shoulders
Speaker 6: and shows, I go back and just watched, and you know,
Speaker 6: I'll pick a season and just hit it, and so
Speaker 6: like it's it's a top five show for me because
Speaker 6: it's informed.
Speaker 2: What are some of your favorite Like do you have
Speaker 2: any favorite storylines or scenes or things that you were
Speaker 2: just like or fashion moments, I mean anything. I mean
Speaker 2: we should probably ask all those things.
Speaker 6: The fashion I really enjoy from like season season four
Speaker 6: on I.
Speaker 4: Like, okay, let me let me break it down. So
Speaker 4: I like season four.
Speaker 6: I I like when Olivia has like this this it's
Speaker 6: that season, right, It's it's the season four last.
Speaker 7: Season she has the hair straight or curly curly hair,
Speaker 7: straight curly hair, but she has the curly hair.
Speaker 2: I like that season.
Speaker 6: But also like when she's command in season seven and
Speaker 6: she has like it's all very like straight line, very business.
Speaker 6: Everything is very sharp. Yes there's color, but it's all
Speaker 6: very business and she's very commanding of what's going on.
Speaker 6: Like I think that's my favorite iteration of her. I
Speaker 6: also like her in season three because I think she's
Speaker 6: Is she pregnant at that point?
Speaker 4: I think in that yes, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: We just did an episode yesterday and we were talking
Speaker 1: about how she was pregnant and Jake Scott Foley was
Speaker 1: shooting this episode with her and they had to work.
Speaker 1: They had to do a sex scene and they had
Speaker 1: to figure out how to shoot it because she was
Speaker 1: eight months pregnant. My season three, you I can't believe
Speaker 1: you know that, like you are freaking supervandage.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, because I remember because she was always she's
Speaker 6: always in her her fashions, which it was kind of
Speaker 6: it was either black dark or it was kind of
Speaker 6: a little bit oversized, but still like she still had
Speaker 6: a shape.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was very interesting.
Speaker 6: Wriginale did it that season, but I was like, oh,
Speaker 6: she's pregnant, you know. And I remember one of my
Speaker 6: favorite scenes season three when she's talking to Andrew and
Speaker 6: Fitz finds out that they're having Andrew and Milly are
Speaker 6: having an affair and she has to come into the
Speaker 6: room and tail him. Basically, you either you choose power
Speaker 6: or you choose love.
Speaker 4: And I remember she said, my god.
Speaker 6: She comes in with the I think it's is it
Speaker 6: is it? I don't know, but she comes.
Speaker 7: In with the back probably yes, she sets the bag down,
Speaker 7: she has her gloves, and she does her home monologue.
Speaker 6: That it's when I I go on YouTube and watch it.
Speaker 4: It's one of my favorite scenes.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that I love it, yo, But also, I mean,
Speaker 1: you had some amazing looks, Drag.
Speaker 3: You have to check it out. Katie.
Speaker 1: She had this one look where she has a it's
Speaker 1: like a do you have a dog, but the do
Speaker 1: Rag has like a long ass train that goes all
Speaker 1: the way down the runway.
Speaker 3: And it was so beautiful.
Speaker 4: It's my favorite three so dopey.
Speaker 3: I freaking loved it.
Speaker 6: My favorite look it was the train. It was the
Speaker 6: was it was trains runway And I was like, how
Speaker 6: can you do it? Because you know everyone's gonna do
Speaker 6: like a long gown something. I was like, I want
Speaker 6: to do something that's memorable, you know. And I was like,
Speaker 6: why didn't Rag?
Speaker 4: You know? And that's my favorite.
Speaker 3: That was groundbreaking.
Speaker 1: No one had ever done anything like that before, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you like turned the the streets
Speaker 1: into the freaking runway.
Speaker 3: Dope.
Speaker 2: It's so right. I'm looking at it right now. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: my gosh, Simone, Wow wow wow wow wow wow. Are
Speaker 2: you team fits or team that's.
Speaker 3: A good question.
Speaker 4: This is hard, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: iMore, I go back and forth, back and.
Speaker 6: Forth because it's also season to season two. Yes, the
Speaker 6: season four is My face is my personal favorite season,
Speaker 6: and that's usually where I start if I'm restarting.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 2: Is it your favorite gear mode? I haven't gotten that
Speaker 2: far yet rewatching, so I don't even remember kind of
Speaker 2: I went into some I mean, I don't remember what
Speaker 2: happened for but why.
Speaker 4: So much was happening that season.
Speaker 6: That's the season after fits Sun Dies spoiler alert if
Speaker 6: you didn't know so off of them coming back to
Speaker 6: the island, Fitz is Mellie's a mess. Fitz has had
Speaker 6: to run kind of run the country on his own.
Speaker 6: You know, like he hasn't had any right.
Speaker 2: Is he just like completely an alcoholic since his sundight
Speaker 2: or no, that's something.
Speaker 4: Else he was.
Speaker 6: It was like they would do flashbacks like he was
Speaker 6: drinking bad at first and then he like had to
Speaker 6: get it together. I think the alcoholic moment was but
Speaker 6: he didn't have an alcoholic woman.
Speaker 3: You're right.
Speaker 6: Then Olivia gets gets taken by the vice president.
Speaker 4: She's on the auction block, that one that happens.
Speaker 2: That's the episode where she's running.
Speaker 4: So she's running the she's running.
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh she looks so so.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just a great season.
Speaker 6: It's a great, she's she had to recordile, like Fits
Speaker 6: had to reconcile being like the president, but also on
Speaker 6: love and like what he the decision he made it
Speaker 6: like and then she's coming after her dad the whole time,
Speaker 6: like you guys are trying to take command down the
Speaker 6: whole time, and like it's just such a great season.
Speaker 6: It's it's a beautiful season. Oh wait, I didn't answer
Speaker 6: your question. I think I landed on Team Fits. I
Speaker 6: think by the end of it, I land on Team Fits.
Speaker 6: But I do fluctuate. Like season four, I was very
Speaker 6: much Team Jake. Season five, I was Team Jake. Six
Speaker 6: he kind of annoyed me, so.
Speaker 4: I was back on Fit side. So I go. I
Speaker 4: go back and forth.
Speaker 6: The first two first three seasons, I was team Fits.
Speaker 4: You know, it's hard.
Speaker 2: What made you land ultimately on Team Fits? Like do
Speaker 2: you remember?
Speaker 4: I like their love story. I enjoy it. I mean
Speaker 4: it's awful.
Speaker 6: It's horrible, like the things that they did, Like, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: Great, they're both murderers, murders, you know.
Speaker 6: He makes he sent people to war for love, like
Speaker 6: you know, all these things, but I enjoy the like
Speaker 6: all through it, he they still were able to find it,
Speaker 6: you know, like you see yours left on on the
Speaker 6: last episode, you're left wondering do they end up together
Speaker 6: or do they not?
Speaker 4: You know, and it's kind of a fresh start.
Speaker 6: They're both out of power, they're both just trying to
Speaker 6: figure it out, and now they can actually have a
Speaker 6: relationship that's not tainted by everyone around the.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh my god, have you ever met Carrie?
Speaker 6: I don't know if I want to have to make
Speaker 6: we have to make it happen here, I will freak sho.
Speaker 2: We have to make it happen. You will be you
Speaker 2: will you know what it's well, you two, I'm sure
Speaker 2: both know how scary it is to like meet your
Speaker 2: mineles because it could always be like, oh no, they're meaning,
Speaker 2: or it was a terrible situation, or like wasn't great.
Speaker 2: I would bet money on that that has never happened
Speaker 2: with anyone who's met Carry Washington, because she's.
Speaker 6: She just seems like such a sweet, genuine, the best
Speaker 6: person she.
Speaker 2: Is and she takes it so seriously like she's just
Speaker 2: so like a great and so that neat. I mean, besides,
Speaker 2: I'm sure she's a huge I'm sure she.
Speaker 4: Asked me.
Speaker 2: She believe you've never I've never else scandal cant.
Speaker 6: I don't think I've met anyone in the Scandal cast.
Speaker 6: I think besides Gearmo, you're the only one that I've met.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I met you, So that's greatly annoyed.
Speaker 3: Like Simon, what did you think of Quinn? Hawk? Were
Speaker 3: you just? Did you love us so much?
Speaker 4: About you?
Speaker 6: Guys? Okay, if we must, you know what I really enjoyed.
Speaker 4: Can I be honest? And no one's gonna their feelings?
Speaker 3: Great?
Speaker 4: Okay, No, of course not Quinn. At first I was
Speaker 4: not featuring.
Speaker 6: I really liked her because it was it was the
Speaker 6: goodie two shoes.
Speaker 4: Of it all. I was just like, you know, whatever.
Speaker 2: Annoying any annoying is the word, yes, annoying.
Speaker 6: Around when you started training her, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 6: she's coming to her own, like when she really was
Speaker 6: coming into her own and like season three, season four,
Speaker 6: actually see again, you know when you brought everyone back together,
Speaker 6: And so I I enjoyed you from four on and
Speaker 6: gear Ma I was always because I like I like
Speaker 6: characters like Huck who are complicated, complex and like at
Speaker 6: first you meet them, you're like, oh, he's a weirdo,
Speaker 6: but you go through when you've seen all that he's
Speaker 6: gone through, all that he's given up, all that he's
Speaker 6: like just had to go through as as a human being,
Speaker 6: and most of us could not have them, let alone
Speaker 6: live through that. So like I I really enjoy Huck's
Speaker 6: character and I and your character. I love towards the
Speaker 6: end when you take over Op, it's QPA.
Speaker 3: Now, oh yeah, that's why.
Speaker 2: I can Yeah, can you even believe?
Speaker 1: But also Quinn's fashion changed really fiercely to right, yes,
Speaker 1: and she started wearing three and four, she started wearing
Speaker 1: leather and high high boot leather boots.
Speaker 3: And all that. Yeah, much more.
Speaker 2: I had just squeezed myself into these horrible pencil skirts.
Speaker 2: Awful that I was finally like, yes, she's wearing fucking
Speaker 2: skinny jeans and boots and leather jackets and flannel because
Speaker 2: she's a baby hunt.
Speaker 4: Baby shirts.
Speaker 3: You wearing T shirts to write, like sexy T shirts and.
Speaker 2: Way better all around, like all around betterny tails.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back. Guys.
Speaker 2: Were you shocked when Huck and Quinn got together?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I was like, what is this? Where are we going?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: Were we?
Speaker 1: But we loved it because we we we I mean
Speaker 1: for you guys filming.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're so in love. We came on the script
Speaker 2: and we were like, oh my god, this is intense.
Speaker 2: And then we because we'd been like dear close, soulmate
Speaker 2: friends for years at this point, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: now you have to like have dirty, dirty makeups them.
Speaker 2: But we started to like be like we need to
Speaker 2: be nasty like we were. We should not have sex
Speaker 2: scenes like fits and Olivia. It shouldn't be movie ish
Speaker 2: or like, this needs to be people who the threshold
Speaker 2: of pain and pleasure runs very close to each other. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so Geirma was like, what's your safe for popcorn?
Speaker 1: Plus, we were so close at that point and we
Speaker 1: trusted each other and I think I remember telling Katie, Katie,
Speaker 1: do whatever you want, like let's just go for it,
Speaker 1: for it, and we just went for it, and we
Speaker 1: were just so comfortable and.
Speaker 2: It was like, let me spit on you on her.
Speaker 6: At one point the licking, I was like, the licking
Speaker 6: if that was was that a direction or is that
Speaker 6: y'all just like going That was in the script.
Speaker 2: And by the way, then fans, for years we would
Speaker 2: take photos with fans and they'd always be like this
Speaker 2: is a pre code world. Obviously, they're like coming up
Speaker 2: and trying to like lick our face. Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2: I was like, this is so crazy, but I.
Speaker 4: Remember that though.
Speaker 6: It was so Yeah, it was such a visceral thing,
Speaker 6: and I remember being right, I think I did this.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh my because it was just so
Speaker 6: it was just so it was just so visceral.
Speaker 1: I don't know, well, I lick her right, Hucklick's win
Speaker 1: in one in one episode and then Quinn does it
Speaker 1: tell later on when they're outside remember odds. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we were shooting that at the Hollywood Cemetery remember that kiddy.
Speaker 2: Right, and Garaba loved it because his horror.
Speaker 1: Yeah, walking around the model. Yes, this is my favorite
Speaker 1: day on set.
Speaker 2: Do you ever You said you do still watch it now?
Speaker 2: It's just like a bat like you're just like, oh
Speaker 2: my god.
Speaker 6: Like sometimes if I don't, especially if I have nothing
Speaker 6: else to watch, I'll be like, what because it's on
Speaker 6: Hulu now and so you can I'll just go and
Speaker 6: hit it.
Speaker 3: I have my comfort shows like that too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because sometimes, especially when I was first rewatching it,
Speaker 6: there's lots of stuff that you miss watching because it
Speaker 6: was you would have a week, so you'd forget stuff,
Speaker 6: and so when you watch it back to back, you're like, oh,
Speaker 6: that's what was happening.
Speaker 4: Especially in season six.
Speaker 6: When I first watched it, it made no sense to me.
Speaker 6: I couldn't understand what was going on. But now I
Speaker 6: was like, oh, it's such a smart.
Speaker 3: Season, Simon.
Speaker 1: That was our our deal while we were shooting the show,
Speaker 1: because we were so in it. We were shooting episode
Speaker 1: to episode, you know, every week, and we didn't have
Speaker 1: time to really We would watch the episodes, but we
Speaker 1: were live tweeting, so we couldn't really pay attention. So
Speaker 1: until Katie and I started watching rewatching it again now
Speaker 1: for the podcast, and we're like, oh my god, this
Speaker 1: show is amazing.
Speaker 3: It is so good. I can't like.
Speaker 6: The writing is insane, especially for I think back like
Speaker 6: when it was coming out.
Speaker 4: It was another reason why it was so ground bager.
Speaker 6: It is because of the writing and like I have
Speaker 6: the love scenes, the action scenes, the plots, and like
Speaker 6: things were harken back to things that happen, like episodes
Speaker 6: ago that you had to remember and.
Speaker 4: Be like oh that and the flashbacks and like all that.
Speaker 4: It's just so good. It's just so good and it.
Speaker 2: Still hits me, hits for us too.
Speaker 4: Is there an episode?
Speaker 6: Is there like a favorite scene or episode or season
Speaker 6: or all of the above.
Speaker 2: That you guys, I'm so into what's going on right now,
Speaker 2: like I, I mean, I have such a special place
Speaker 2: in my heart for the end because we got to
Speaker 2: shoot like the second to last episode in actually Washington, DC.
Speaker 2: I have such close memories to us, like we ran
Speaker 2: around in like escalade trucks, we all like toward all
Speaker 2: the monuments at night, like I you know, somebody's being
Speaker 2: wrapped up in those sort of memories. What about you

Speaker 1: We I mean we shoot the We shot the shows
Speaker 1: in like eight to ten days, right, Katie.

Speaker 2: Like I think, Lisa Kudro.
Speaker 3: You know what, I think you're right.
Speaker 1: I think I honestly I got silent because I was like,
Speaker 1: I just watched this episode and the next one, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I think you're right. Lisa Kudrou freaking
Speaker 1: killed it in this episode. Yeah.
Speaker 2: She was so good. She had so many scenes. I mean,
Speaker 2: this episode is so much about you know, Olivia's like,
Speaker 2: fuck you, white House, I'm not working on Fitz's campaign
Speaker 2: and to get you back, I'm gonna run the campaign
Speaker 2: for Josie Marcus played by the amazing Lisa Kudro. And
Speaker 2: Lisa just has so many things about like what type
Speaker 2: of candidate she is and how she's so likeable, and
Speaker 2: how Live is like teaching her, how to toughen up
Speaker 2: and be what America wants. And she's practicing all the
Speaker 2: interviews and then you're seeing her do the debates and
Speaker 2: then you're like, she just had.
Speaker 3: So much to do.
Speaker 1: She's so strong in this episode and that scene with
Speaker 1: James Novak with Dan Bucatinski, Yo, she blew it.
Speaker 3: Out of the water.
Speaker 1: I felt so bad for James in that scene. But Yo,
Speaker 1: she needed to do that. That that she brought her,
Speaker 1: you know, beyond, it brought her up from where she
Speaker 1: was as a candidate.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: They make a fake video of rest in sort of
Speaker 2: like making a campaign.
Speaker 3: Commercial weak and yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah that Josie Marcus isn't tough enough to run the
Speaker 2: you know, run America. And she comes in and she's like,
Speaker 2: you're a sexist pig. You're all fucking sexist pigs, even
Speaker 2: you James Novak, who walked in here and said like,
Speaker 2: you know, thank you so much for having me over.
Speaker 2: She's like, I didn't invite you over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this this picture of Tea is fake.
Speaker 2: Yeah you wanted this. Like everything you're all doing is
Speaker 2: a bias. It's it's a whether it's a conscious or
Speaker 2: unconscious sexist feeling, like that's what's going on here. So
Speaker 2: she just fucking she really did.
Speaker 1: She was And the great thing is that this is
Speaker 1: the first time we see Josie Marcus most.
Speaker 2: Stuff, we've definitely seen her and it's so sad.
Speaker 1: And then it gets juicier in episodes to come, like
Speaker 1: her storyline gets do you see her?
Speaker 2: We will be back with more after the break the
Speaker 2: fashion moments, nothing stucky, did anything stick out for you?
Speaker 1: Not really listen when whenever maa Ope is on screen,
Speaker 1: like her fit is always so so good, But you

Speaker 1: the top of the show, but then we don't really
Speaker 1: see her anymore.
Speaker 3: Right in this episode.
Speaker 2: We have to have a major silent moment for this
Speaker 2: is the episode where and I would love to know
Speaker 2: which writer in the Scandal Writer's room created this, but
Speaker 2: that Charlie in this episode calls Quinn.
Speaker 3: Yes, which is what we end up naming our base. Shit,
Speaker 3: I don't remember that, Katie really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wait, her name's Robin.
Speaker 3: Does he call Huck Batman? Doesn't he call Hawk Batman?
Speaker 2: So what is he's He doesn't call you batman? But

Speaker 3: So who is he? What is Charlie? Is he Superman? Right? Like?
Speaker 1: And a fun fact, George Newburn does the voice of
Speaker 1: Superman in the in the cartoon in the animated series.
Speaker 2: Totally does. Yes, he totally, totally, totally does.
Speaker 3: But I love that this is this is the first
Speaker 3: time he calls you, Robin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we're in the We're in a shoot range
Speaker 2: and you know, Quinn is sucking it at shooting guns
Speaker 2: and nailing it in the target. And Charlie's also there,
Speaker 2: and he comes over and she's like, oh, fine, give
Speaker 2: me your advice. I mean, my acting was annoying, but
Speaker 2: not as annoying.
Speaker 3: As Yo, did you actually get to shoot? Did you guys?
Speaker 4: Go?
Speaker 3: You?
Speaker 1: You filmed it had a shooting range obviously, and we

Speaker 2: really like shoot real bullets and there's real kickback and
Speaker 2: it's real freakin' loud. And I was not raised around guns.
Speaker 2: I'm so like squeamish around them. I don't I'm like
Speaker 2: completely freaked out.
Speaker 1: But listen on Scandal, it was always it was always
Speaker 1: so thoughtful in those moments where we had a weapon
Speaker 1: that our our our props team was so great about
Speaker 1: making sure we knew that the gun was safe and
Speaker 1: how to hold it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know all that stuff.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but like so scary and I had to
Speaker 2: protect there's nothing that is maybe my best acting then, wow,
Speaker 2: because didn't I look like a bad It wasn't afraid
Speaker 2: of guns?
Speaker 3: Not according to that reviewer that we read that's coming up.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, no, I I I did the best
Speaker 2: acting work of my life in that I looked like

Speaker 1: And basically Charlie is sort of getting you ready to
Speaker 1: come work for command, right, like he sort of six thirteen, Yeah,
Speaker 1: to come work for b six thirteen, which is yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so sad when it gets closer to that, and
Speaker 1: Quinn's like, what yeah, yeah, but we'll get there.
Speaker 2: Okay. Some of my favorite lines from the episode of
Speaker 2: just like not you know, holy shit, Shonda Rhymes and
Speaker 2: these writers are fucking unbelievable womans was I love in
Speaker 2: the top of the episode when the whole thing is
Speaker 2: sort of switched and we realized that Melli has called
Speaker 2: Olivia to come to the White House because she truly
Speaker 2: believes that unless Olivia Pope runs FITs' campaign, there's no
Speaker 2: way he's going to win a second term. And she
Speaker 2: has like she wins elections, and then she just storms
Speaker 2: away and she's being.
Speaker 1: Doesn't she say something like I practically wrapped your little
Speaker 1: horror in a tinfoil or something and handed her to
Speaker 1: you and you screwed it up or something like that.
Speaker 2: Her lines are not to be believed, just not believed,
Speaker 2: not to be believed.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I love when Okay, I love when Olivia
Speaker 1: has that speech when she's talking about the weather with
Speaker 1: Eli and she's like, my father is the thing that
Speaker 1: goes bump in the night.
Speaker 3: I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 2: How what do you think of your acting in this episode?
Speaker 2: This wasn't like.
Speaker 1: A huge No, Huck was listened. Huck was brooding a lot.
Speaker 1: He's very crafty, huck, was it crafty a lot? Eating
Speaker 1: Mexican bowls? Remember, we'd get Mexican bowls on set and
Speaker 1: we'd all come to the where all our chairs were,
Speaker 1: where that, you know, with the cast waights before we
Speaker 1: shoot our scenes, and somebody would be like, Yo, there's
Speaker 1: Mexican bowls at Crafty and we'd get so excited.
Speaker 2: Mexican bowl you mean you make it like a taco salad, Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: where you like put a bunch of like chips down
Speaker 2: or tortilla, then you put ah ton of lettuce, you know,
Speaker 2: like the shredded iceberg, then a ton of ground beef,
Speaker 2: than a ton of cheat shredded cheese, then pico degayo, guacamole,
Speaker 2: and some like you know, some other kind of sauces.

Speaker 2: I like, like the twenty one grain. Dave's Killer Bread. Hey,
Speaker 2: Dave's Killer Bread. If you want to do a collab
Speaker 2: a post, you want to sponsor this podcast.
Speaker 1: I had an everything bagel with vegan cream cheese, onions
Speaker 1: and heirloom tomato and Tabasco sauce on top.
Speaker 2: Wo And why do you do the vegan cream cheese
Speaker 2: because the regular cream cheese makes your stomach.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 1: No, I'm just trying to be listen, I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to be healthier and eat more plant based And it
Speaker 1: was actually really good.
Speaker 3: Bad. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Is there something you watched that made you do that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, I know there's some stuff on, like right on
Speaker 1: the streaming platforms about like.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, there's a bunch of documentary shit.
Speaker 2: You are what you eat, I mean more for I
Speaker 2: mean not not only for health reasons, but the study
Speaker 2: I read like that if every person on the planet
Speaker 2: had one meal a day that had no plant based
Speaker 2: i mean, no animal products in it, that we would
Speaker 2: completely reverse climate chain. Wow.
Speaker 1: No way, Yeah, there's no way that that would happen
Speaker 1: in the Midwest and so many other parts of the country.
Speaker 2: Way, there's no way. There's no way. It's a really
Speaker 2: good thing. Okay, it's called you are what you eat. Okay,
Speaker 2: what else we didn't eat? In the episode Eating, Olivia
Speaker 2: drank the shit out of the biggest goblet of red
Speaker 2: wine like I've ever seen. And do you remember what
Speaker 2: it was that she actually drank.
Speaker 3: It was like her favorite grape juice, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: She loved it and sometimes she loved it like it
Speaker 2: was like a Welch's grape juice, and she loved it
Speaker 2: so much. And sometimes when I'm watching her act as Olivia,
Speaker 2: I can tell that it's grape juice and not because
Speaker 2: she because she's kind of like doing like a thing
Speaker 2: with her mouth where you could tell she like, you
Speaker 2: know that it's really sweet and not like a kind
Speaker 2: of like a bitter why, you know, Like I feel
Speaker 2: like grape juice and red wine have a totally different team. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 2: so Lisa kudro one we did that, I think the
Speaker 2: other oh, we forgot a huge eating moment that was
Speaker 2: a total fuck up and all these actors are terrible
Speaker 2: and they should get slaps on the wrist. There's an
Speaker 2: entire dinner scene in the President's wing of a couple,
Speaker 2: double couple, Double trouble, scene with the Langston with Sally
Speaker 2: and Daniel Douglas and Fits and Mellie and no.
Speaker 3: One need.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable shame, shame, shave, shave well listen And in defense
Speaker 1: of background food, sometimes there will just be like they'll
Speaker 1: just sometimes props will say, hey, don't eat to the background.
Speaker 1: Like I've heard them be like, hey, try not to
Speaker 1: eat because they.
Speaker 2: Don't have a lot of something like they're going to
Speaker 2: run out. Yes, we can still just make fun of you.
Speaker 3: Yeah we can.
Speaker 2: There are friends they don't exactly okay fun fact, aiming
Speaker 2: with one eye closed like Quinn does in the shooting
Speaker 2: range is a sure fireway to miss. Hey, that's not true.
Speaker 2: I'm working with guns right now on this show and
Speaker 2: they keep telling me to close one eye.
Speaker 3: Really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I didn't know that that was a thing.
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask and get back to you on that.
Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure when I've been in the gun
Speaker 2: range a lot lately because again the show I'm on
Speaker 2: is called The Hunting Wives, so guns are in Baltimore
Speaker 2: and we we totally have one eye down on the thing.
Speaker 2: Really Uh oh okay, oh, what's that birdie bird.
