00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: like sending Dick pics. We had like a guy that

44
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: episode at scandal pace because we need to get into

45
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: this episode and we cannot be bothered with all these logistics.

46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: But I just want to say it really quickly in

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: scandal paste speed, so that you know what the hell

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,080

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: recent client.

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Katie, that was way too fast. I

57
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like it might be a little

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: too fast for the listeners. Like, I get it, you know,

59
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: we're so used to as scandal past. But I'm gonna

60
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: do it. I'm going to try to just, you know,

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: slow it up a little bit for the listeners.

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: Okay, let me give it. Let me hear you.

63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: Olivia must protect a new client and their investigation by

64
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: the US Attorney's Office. Quin warns is druggle with Amanda

65
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: Tanner with a charming reporter, Gideon Wallace approaches Quinn at

66
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: the hospital trying to get information. Meanwhile, at the White House,

67
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: President Grant has just dominated his first Supreme Court justice,

68
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: a man who has cross passed with Olivia's most recent client.

69
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: God damn it, we can't stop scandal pacing. What is

70
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: wrong with us? Every job I did after Scandal they

71
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: were like, uh, can you please just take your time?

72
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Like slow it down?

73
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 2: We are ruined as actors. Thank you so much, Sean Rhimes.

74
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: But like, yes, first of all, we must note Geramemo,

75
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: that was really fucking fast. And I always won the

76
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: award as the fastest scandal Pace speaker on the cast,

77
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: and you just gave me a run for my money.

78
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: That was pretty fast. Huh.

79
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: It was really fast. And also we have to give

80
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: such applaud to Hawk because not only did you master

81
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: scandal pace, but you would normally have to speak at

82
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: scandal pace whilst saying absolute hacking jargon like QR facial

83
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: recognition software.

84
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: Yes, I had no idea what it meant or what

85
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: it was. I you know, Huck is is this tech

86
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: savvy like character. Obviously everyone knows, but me Ghirmo Diaz

87
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: is like, where do I go on my phone to

88
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: turn on the light? Like I'm the worse.

89
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: I think even for this podcast, someone sent you a

90
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: link for us to like open up our first meeting

91
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: on this podcast and you're all texting me like, can

92
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: you like text me that link? I don't know if

93
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 2: I can get it on my computer or my phone.

94
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: And I'm like, Guillermo, I sure did.

95
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: I Sure did. I was like, Katie, thank you so much.

96
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So that's what happened in the episode.

97
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: But like sitting down and rewatching episode two gave me

98
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: such fucking vibes because it's just so classic early Scandal.

99
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: It's a case of the week. The case is Sharon Marquette,

100
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: who's played by Mimi Kennedy, and she's like, I'm DC's

101
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 2: finest madam, is what she says. She's based running a

102
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: whorehouse for like all these politicians where they get their

103
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: fancy ass hookers. Yes, and it's the first episode, you know,

104
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: once we got picked up. Wait, by the way, how

105
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: long was this between shooting the pilot and when did

106
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: we start this? Do you remember?

107
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you that because one of

108
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: the first one of the things that like stuck out

109
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: for me in this episode was Carrie's wig. I was like, oh,

110
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: we got some money. Now They're like, okay, we want

111
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: to order like seven episodes or six because we had

112
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: done the pilot, but I was like, that way got

113
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: spruced up. It looked like she went through the Emerald

114
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: City makeover that Judy Garland goes through, and all of

115
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, she got this like fancy, like curly like up.

116
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: Like you know, everyone is listening. When you shoot a pilot,

117
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: it's like they don't give you. I mean, they give

118
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: you money, but it's not like if it's series and

119
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: it goes to series, they're gonna like commit a little

120
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: bit more. So, Yeah, Harry's wig and when she comes

121
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: on this show, we have to have like a whole

122
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: conversation about wigs because I know she made a lot

123
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 2: of character choice is based on whether her hair was

124
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: curly or straight. But I think that we see a

125
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: major upgrade in this episode. Yes, in the first couple

126
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: minutes of this episode, we're already listening to Stevie Wonder.

127
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: It's already like yeah, down down, down, down down, And

128
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: you and Abby are in the Madam's apartment. You know,

129
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: Steven played by Henry and Cusick is out on the

130
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: street on the phone with Olivia, and David Rosen drives

131
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: by and we're on a ticking time clock where like

132
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: you guys, gotta totally take over whatever's in her apartment.

133
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: Before the cops get there.

134
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and it just seems so cool. Record scratch

135
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: to Quinn standing waiting for the elevator to come up

136
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: like a freaking loser.

137
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: She's like, what the hell is going on? Well, Quinn

138
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: is also the audience, right, Quinn is the one that's like, Okay,

139
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: what's what's going down here? Like fill me in? And

140
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: no one's like really filling her in, and they're just

141
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: like you gotta learn, Like you gotta just watch and learn.

142
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: Yes. In this episode, Olivia is pissed because she has

143
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: found out that her dude, her love of her life,

144
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: Fitzgerald Grant the Third, is fucking Amanda Tanner and now

145
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: she's pissed, and now Amanda try to kill herself and

146
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: now here we are where she's like, oh, Amanda Tanner,

147
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to get this bitch to be my client. Yeah, okay.

148
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: A couple other things about this episode that need to

149
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: be mentioned that are in some notes G and I

150
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: take notes people. G takes them on paper. I take

151
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: them on the notes in section of my phone.

152
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm old school. Yep.

153
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: He played a hacker and he can't do anything technologically savvy. Okay. No,

154
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: David Rosen calls Olivia by her whole name, Olivia Carolyn Pope.

155

00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: Okay. I texted Carrie yesterday and I said, do you

Speaker 2: remember where Carolyn comes from? And she's like not no,

160
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,280

Speaker 2: my gosh, like it's so lovely that her middle name

162
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: is Carolyn, because that's I want to say Shonda's middle name,

163
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: but I could be do not remember this at all?

164
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't remember this at all.

165
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: Wait, I'm texting. I'm gonna text Shana right now and

166
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask her. I really feel like it was

167
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: a special nod to something.

168
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: This is also I remember in this in that scene

169
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: where he says her middle name is the first time

170
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: he goes to sort of poker and Huck steps up

171
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: and he's like, do not touch her. And it's the

172
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: first time you see Huck. He sort of like, You're like, oh,

173
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: that's like Olivia's like protective, like pitbull, like he's like

174
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: her protector. And I love that moment because he was like,

175
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: I will snap your neck.

176
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: Modifuga it was really that's when you realize that, like,

177
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: these aren't just lawyers.

178
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

179
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: Quinn walks in in episode one and says, so you're

180
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: all lawyers, and you're like, no, lawyers are for losers.

181
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: Like we're fixers, we're crisis managers. It's a whole package

182
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: of different kinds of people. And I always thought in

183
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: episode two when David Rosen goes to touch Olivia and

184
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,840

00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: of crazy.

Speaker 2: a writer in the writer's room coming up with this bullshit?

235
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,600

Speaker 1: Yeah.

240
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,600

00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: Pope says, all cylinders people, let's go yes?

242
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: Is that the first time we hear her say that,

243
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: I think it might be.

Speaker 2: Garmo and I. Over the course of this podcast, we

270
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: have a lot of vintage pieces that will be coming out.

271
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: They might be clothing, they might be gifts, they might

272
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: be shit we stole from the Scandal set. They might

273
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 2: be clothing I stole from the Scandal set. But this

274
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: shirt is so special and I would never wear it

275
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: in public because it is way too fucking tight.

276
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Totally, totally. You know what's funny. I wore it. I

277
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,479
Speaker 1: had to go to the grocery store to get detergent,

278
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: and I have the shirt on and I was in

279
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: an aisle looking for you know, looking for it which

280
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: one I was gonna pick, And a guy was like

281
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: kept staring at me, and I was like, oh crap,

282
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: and he was like, I loved you on Scandal and

283
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: I was like, oh god, I'm wearing a Scandal's shirt.

284
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: I was like, how how cheesy?

285
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: No, No, it's sweet, and everyone listening, so, you know,

286
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: I get recognized, but I really look like everyone else,

287
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 2: Like I really think I'm like a pretty average in

288
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: size and height and in brown hair, brown eyes, like

289
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: you got to really know. I don't Gamo fucking Diaz

290
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: cannot go anywhere, like anywhere, I mean traveling around with you.

291
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how Mikey does it. I don't know,

292
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: because you stick out like a sore thumb, like you're

293
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: just so special. You don't look like anyone else. You

294
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: have a vibe about you. You have a look. And

295
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: the greatest treat about that is that a lot of

296
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: times when Gamo gets recognized for Scandal, he also gets

297
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: recognized for Half Baked, and people are just passing you weed.

298
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: People want to get me high everywhere I go. We

299
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: were in Israel and people were like, you want to

300
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: get high?

301
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: Everywhere you go, people want to get you high. We

302
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: were at the White House Correspondent dinner and everyone's trying

303
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: to get you high. Like everyone just wants to say

304
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: to their group of friends, yeah, I got stoned with

305
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: Germo Diaz from Half Baked, or I got stoned with

306
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: Huck or like whatever, You're just.

307
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: Cool, you know. Very early in my career, Katie, I

308
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: learned that you have to be kind to your fans.

309
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: So I can't say no, you know, so I'm I

310
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,760

311
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: I will give you that memory. I will give you

312
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: that memory. Please, it's not it's okay, it's not too

313
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: much off my back. What else did you love about

314
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: this episode?

315
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: One of the things that I loved about about this episode, Katie,

316
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: that stuck out also was the sets. It's the first

317
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you see the sets of course in the pilot,

318
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: but this was the first time that you see the

319
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: recreated actual set where we shot the pilot at an

320
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: actual location in downtown at La in this old old

321
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: building where those panels that those window panels that we

322
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: have on our show, those cracked, flawed window panels were

323
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: all real. And our amazing you know Scandal team that

324
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: works on the sets at the stages where we shot

325
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: the show recreated that place like perfectly, and it looks

326
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: so freaking good in this episode.

327
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: That is such a great point, And what blessing did

328
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: they give us because the real one downtown, the real

329
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: OPA the hallway was actually insanely long, and when they

330
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: recreated it on the stages, it was like still long,

331
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: but half the length. Because Quinn is constantly walking up

332
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: and down the fucking hallway getting a people of coffee,

333
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: like I don't think you had to deal with this.

334
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: And I hate wearing high heels, and my feet are

335
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: an issue at all times.

336
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: And those pencil skirts that kept like twisting on you.

337
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: You remember, am I spanks. Every time I took a step,

338
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: my pencil skirt would just like rotate. I spent eighty

339
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: hours a week complaining about my feet, which Kerry Washington

340
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: never did. And she's wearing like literally six inch every

341
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: single high end fashionable shoe. And I think I was

342
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: in Jessica Simpson like low priced shoe because I you know,

343
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: when we did fittings, I would say like Quinn doesn't

344
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: have what Olivia Pope has, like I shouldn't be in

345
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: Prada and all this shit. Yeah, but anyway, they they

346
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: made the hallway half the length when they recreated it,

347
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: and I remember being like, oh, thank you God, because

348
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: this will just log me like less steps where my

349
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: feet and my pencil skirt are just just ridiculous, like

350
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: my feet were hurting so badly.

351
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: Do you also remember, Katie, the window panels that I

352
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: mentioned a little bit ago, where we would have to

353
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: put up people's photos. I think you know this, Katie.

354
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: But when we wrapped the series. I asked Mary Howard,

355
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: who was one of our producers. I asked her, Hey,

356
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: is there any way I can get one of those

357
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: window panels? And they sent me. They delivered one to

358
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: my house and it's with the iron around it, Katie.

359
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: It weighs like a tongue. You didn't know that.

360
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 2: Nowhere is it in your house?

361
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: It's in that right at the entrance of the house,

362
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: like on the wall right there. It's like one of

363
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: my favorite things that I have in my house. And

364
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: I was like, thank god I asked for this.

365
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: I'm seemingly jealous.

366
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: They literally took one of those things and delivered it

367
00:17:59,359 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: to my house.

368
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: Giermo, that makes me like sleep better at night knowing

369
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: that you have one of the window panes.

370
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: Yes.

371
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: Yes, And our OPA conference table desk is the main

372
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 2: conference room table at Shondolin Offices in Hollywood.

373
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: Oh way, I didn't know that. Yeah.

374
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: I was there once before COVID and I walked past

375
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 2: the big conference room and it's the OPA conference table

376
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: that you and I boned on, Yes, where.

377
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: We would hide all our sides on the chairs and

378
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: then we'd scooched them into the table and we boned

379
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: on that table. We sure did. We'll be right back, guys.

380
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Quinn has one job. You all are working on

381
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: the Madam case. You're all trying to have her not

382
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 2: give up her list to David Rosen of all the

383
00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: people in DC horse sleeping with prostitutes. I simultaneously, I'm

384
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: doing this b story where I'm never supposed to let

385
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: Amanda Tanner out of my site because we know that

386
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: Gideon Wallace, who's a reporter from the Sun, has been

387
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: sniffing around and Olivia Pope doesn't want that getting out.

388
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: So I'm just supposed to be watching this girl. And

389
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: Quinn's like, I don't want to watch this girl. And

390
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 2: then Olivia is like, don't let her out of your site,

391
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: and I'm like, right, don't let her out of your site,

392
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: don't let her side, don't let her side, don't let

393
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: her out of my site.

394
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: She's gone. How the hell did she get out there

395
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: that quickly?

396
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: And also is that allowed? Don't you have to be discharged? Right?

397
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

398
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 2: It's fine? Yeah, And then I go to your office

399
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: and I say, I'm gonna barf. How do I find

400
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 2: something that's gone missing? And You're like, go check her house,

401
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,760

Speaker 2: It's already you know what's so lovely? Also going back,

404
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: it's already like I can see what the writers were

405
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: seeing about Huck taking Quinn under his wing.

406
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like.

407
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: You can already see. Like I always go to you.

408
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: Abby is just like so meanto Quinn. It's insane and

409
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 2: great and lovely and I love it and like Harrison

410
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 2: just doesn't have time because he's just like mister man

411
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: about town and you're really the only person.

412
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the left that we'll talk to her.

413
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Katie.

414
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: Do you remember that we used to talk while we

415
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: were filming the show, like how do the writers know?

416
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: And how does Seanda know our relationships? Because you and

417
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: I started to get really close and then we'd be like, dude,

418
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: are there microphones like in our trailers? Like on and

419
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: then we'd see it in the scripts reflected in the scripts, right,

420
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: we were.

421
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: Like always we would be like, no, they have got

422
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: to have bugged the makeup. So on sets, makeup trailers

423
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 2: is where a lot of shit talking gets done, and

424
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: that's mostly because you're there at five o'clock in the morning.

425
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: You know, your makeup and hair people are the ones

426
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 2: that are closest to your face at all times, like

427
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 2: when you're on your period, when you've had a rough night,

428
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 2: when you're like so, the makeup trailer just sort of

429
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: becomes this place, and I always like, this shit has

430
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: got to be because we would talk about we would

431
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: like have relationships forming and like trust things happening, and

432
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: then we would see them one hundred percent reflected in

433
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: scripts down the road.

434
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

435
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: Also what we would do in the trailer I was

436
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: going to say was we were really studious and we

437
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: would drill lines.

438
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: Well, we had to write. We had to because we

439
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: had to. We had to scandal pace our dialogue, which

440
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if people know we should say that

441
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: it first started because the scripts were so long, right,

442
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: and there were so many words that I think it

443
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: was Shonda that said, you guys have to talk fast

444
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: to get all this stuff out, and that's I think

445
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: where it started. But then we all I think discovered

446
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: little by little that the faster you you speak, I mean,

447
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, the intention and the we're still acting under

448
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: the fast pace. But every time it made that scene better,

449
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: every single time, even beyond Scandal. Sometimes I'm on sets,

450
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, y'all gotta speed that shit up.

451
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 2: And not only did we have to have scandal pace,

452
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 2: but we had to be word perfect.

453
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: This wasn't a show that you were like, hey, you

454
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: know in throwing an improv like that didn't happen on Scandal, which.

455
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: By the way, Germo Diaz brilliant improv actor from Dave

456
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 2: Chappelle show.

457
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: God No, but.

458
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we had to drill lines.

459
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

460
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: In fact, when I watched these episodes back, the amount

461
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: of material Kerrie Washington.

462
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: Had, oh my god. Yeah.

463
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: Most hour long scripts, I want to say, are like

464
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 2: fifty to sixty pages. Some of our scripts were eighty

465
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: nine fucking pages.

466
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: That's really long.

467
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: Crazy to think that that would fit in forty two

468
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 2: minutes and shoot in nine days.

469
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: We would cut up and have fun and laugh and

470
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: do all that stuff on set, but most of the

471
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: time I feel like we'd be like, let's run lines,

472
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: let's run lines. It was NonStop that we were like, yo,

473
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: let's run that scene, Let's run lines, because we just

474
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: wanted to get it right. We couldn't. There was no

475
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: room for, you know, to.

476
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: Mess up, and we were like that on each other.

477
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I felt like we were all not goody

478
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: two shoes, but we all really believed in the show

479
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: and wanted to do a good job, and so everyone

480
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 2: did didn't want to be the person in the scene

481
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: to fuck it up, because a lot of the OPA

482
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: scenes are like those theater scenes where you're in an

483
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: ensemble you're holding like tossing a volleyball up between all

484
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: of your lines, and if you're the dick that sucks

485
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 2: up the take because you go up and you forget

486
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: the line, it just made the take not usable for

487
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: everybody else, And like, no one wanted to be that person.

488
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: So it was like we were all, can we run them?

489
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: Can we run him?

490
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: Come we run?

491
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: No, I don't want to be the one that like

492
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: drops the ball. We have that whole monologue where Olivia

493
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: and I dropped my jaw down to the ground, which

494
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: I feel like is really a poor acting choice on

495
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 2: my head. And Olivia says, slip your number in the door.

496
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 2: She's gonna call you, and it is your job to

497
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: get her to be our client. And I'm like, oh shit,

498
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: And so I put the number down and she does call.

499
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: Because Olivia is a genius and she knows what's going

500
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: to happen, and so Amana Tanner and I meet, I

501
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: think on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and we

502
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 2: get a glimpse into Quinn's past, which is Lindsay Dwyer

503
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: and I say, Quinn says something like I was in

504
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: trouble once. A lot of people wanted to I was

505
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: in trouble. I was alone and it was awful. Now

506
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: you think we're getting a glimpse into Quinn Perkin's past,

507
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 2: But at that point, the writer's room did not know

508
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: what Quinn's past was.

509
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: I always forget that they did it right. Nobody knew

510
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: where that was gonna go.

511
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: They didn't know. Oh my god, they didn't know. So

512
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 2: what I think is interesting is that things were already

513
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: being built. But I also sometimes wonder if I had

514
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 2: played it differently, Like I played it as true, like

515
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: Quinn does have this thing, this like secret, But I

516
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 2: could have played it as like I'm tricking her, like

517
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: I'm making.

518
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: It up right just to get it to be a client.

519
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Olivia told me to. And I always am like, wow,

520
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: had I been playing that with things have been different?

521
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: Right?

522
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: Who knows?

523
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Hey? Speaking of that scene, at the Lincoln Memorial. We

524
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: should talk about how that we shot this show in CA, California,

525
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: in LA at some stages, at sunte Gower stages. But

526
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 1: the CGI, what is it called the green screen? What

527
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: is it considered CGI? The you know the backgrounds. I

528
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: think so because when you see when you see the

529
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial and other you know, historical sites in DC,

530
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: like that's all green screen. And and the team that

531
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: did that were so freaking talented too, because I remember

532
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: remember people would come up to us all the time

533
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: and be like, you guys shoot the show in DC.

534
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 2: People still think that now, yeah.

535
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: And we'd be like, no, it's green screen. They'd be

536
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: like what, because it's good. It's really it was really

537
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: really good, Like they did an amazing job.

538
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. We would always be outside in parks all over

539
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: LA and then they would have this like massive green

540
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: screen that they would then superimpose like you're saying the

541
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: Jeffremanson Memorial, Ling Memorial, whatever the mall. Yeah, and we

542
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 2: would be dressed in coats, sweating balls.

543
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: In California where it never gets cold except for today.

544
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: And Lynn Pallow we're gonna have her on too. She's

545
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: an amazing costume designer Lynn Pallow she I think just

546
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,959
Speaker 2: set the world. I don't know if that was her

547
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: choice or Shawna's choice that it was just a forever fall.

548
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: I think it's just like forever fall, which means we're

549
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: just always in pea coats, a scarf. Olivia's obviously like

550
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 2: in the most incredible gloves you've ever seen in your

551
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: entire life that go up to her elbow. But most

552
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: a lot of times we would be in like one

553
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 2: hundred and ten degrees in a wool code.

554
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: You having to act.

555
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: Des I mean the chafing that was going on in

556
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 2: my pencil skirts. I deserve all the acting awards people.

557
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: And I was in freaking flannels, remember flannels, and then

558
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: a leather jacket on top of that and boots.

559
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 2: Oh, later on down the road, it used to be

560
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: like a war of like Lynn would be like, well,

561
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: we can't, we need to have different flannels on quinn Hockah.

562
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. We started dressing. They started dressing

563
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: us very much alike. You were in freaking black leather

564
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: boots and leather jackets and flannels and yeah you love

565
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: that though, right, Oh I can't. Yeah, it was so sexy.

566
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: We'll get there. That's how the should I took.

567
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: Yes, we'll get there. I did too.

568
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: Okay, How Sharon Marquette gets off is Olivia staring at

569
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: the board, which, by the way, that's what we call

570
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: that glass wall that we put up the cases and

571
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: all the people's pictures. We called it like who's at

572
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 2: the board? So Olivia's staring at the at the board,

573
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 2: and she has this brilliant idea. Let's call all these douchebags.

574
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 2: Let's call all these dudes to the table and say like, look, guys,

575
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: this is all going to come out and your life

576
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: is screwed. Unless we all pool together our.

577
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: Resources, we're all trifling.

578
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 2: Bill Withers comes on, call me, mister pitiful. Best song ever.

579
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: I love the soundtrack of this entire show, especially this episode.

580
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: And Harrison goes around and he's like, hey Wooden Floors,

581
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: Hey you, hey, Sonny Coat whatever.

582
00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: That music montage scene is the best. And Harrison Man

583
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: is the dude like, I'm like in love with him.

584
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: He's so good. Love Columbus Short is so freaking cool

585
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: and good and sexy and.

586
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 2: Sexy, and and he's flipping his phone and he's walking

587
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 2: the walk and he's solving the cases and he's out

588
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: there and they're playing fucking awesome music and he just

589
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 2: makes it look effortless.

590
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: Oh so so good, so good Columbus.

591
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, So they all come in and they get Sharon

592
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: Marquette off, praise be we cut two fits wasted in

593
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 2: the Oval, and he's on the seal and he's in

594
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: a scene with Cyrus and he tells Cyrus like, I

595
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 2: love Olivia Pope. We're not talking about this tomorrow, but

596
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: I'm in love with Olivia Pope.

597
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean he's whipped. He got whipped.

598
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: He's so whipped. And at those in those beginning times,

599
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: like especially episode two, this early on in the in

600
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: the series, I just feel like it was such separate shows.

601
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: Like we never went over there. They never came over

602
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: to us. We only saw them at table reads.

603
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 1: Yeah there, remember, I mean moving forward, you know, closer

604
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: to other seasons, we'd have our characters eventually sometimes go

605
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: to the White House. But it was such a big

606
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: deal for us, right we'd be like, oh my god,

607
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna be at the White House. I can't believe

608
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm acting with Bellamy or with Jeffer Tony. Yeah, because

609
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: we never we never you know, encountered them. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

610
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: it was two separate worlds, completely, two separate worlds, and

611
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: ours and ours was better, Oh like way better, way

612
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: more anyway, I'm just saying yeah and cuter.

613
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: I think before we were really going over there, and

614
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: maybe even before we really started to have storylines intermingle,

615
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: Tony came over and and we would he directed an

616
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: episode or two, and he'd always like hate love directing

617
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: OPA because he would be like, what the fuck is

618
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: He'd be.

619
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: Like, you guys, you gotta focus.

620
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: Stop singing, stop dancing, Like Columbus Short is the best

621
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,440

695
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: oh god, fuck, that's what Quinn's going to be doing.

696
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: Oh no, I think your first one of your first thoughts,

697
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: which was for all of us, because when I first

698
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: found out that Huck was going to have a love interest,

699
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: was like, am I going to have to have my

700
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: shirt off? Do I have to stop eating? Do I

701
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: need to work out? What the fuck are they gonna

702
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: have a shirt? Because it's scandal, so you knew they

703
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: were gonna end up screwing race.

704
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: So ten PM show people, Yes, fucking was on the table.

705
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: I mean not cable, not cable sex.

706
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: Not cable sex, but yeah, ten pm sex.

707
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: Which is more than Grays at nine pm. And we

708
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: had all seen Grays. We knew we were gonna be

709
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: pushing the envelope little more than that. Yes, So it

710
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 2: wasn't that it was like, oh no, Brendan Hines. It

711
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: was more like, oh no, wait, shit, I'm gonna have

712
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 2: a love interest. I'm gonna have to to be doing

713
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: stuff like I didn't have a lot of experience with that.

714
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, Gideon Wallace the turd, Yes.

715
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 2: He's turtish in the episode in that he just is

716
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: like trying to uncover the case and it might be annoying.

717
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And also a little piece of information about

718
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: Brendan Hines is that he did lock and Key with

719
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 1: Darby he's in that show with Darby.

720
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well get on board because Brendan Hines and

721
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 2: Gideon Wallace are a big part of season one.

722
00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: That's a lot going on.

723
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 2: We are going to be talking a lot about Brendan

724
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 2: Hines and Xana Bayule and the rest of the season.

725
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 2: But the scandal Rewatch podcast Unpacking the Toolbox. Yes, fun

726
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 2: facts about the episode. This is funny. We talked about

727
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: the Stevie wonder of it all and the songs, which

728
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 2: I feel like are perfect. The episode was referenced in Jeopardy.

729
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, and this I love.

730
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 2: There is a small continuity error people.

731
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: You know, some of those Twitter fans are going to

732
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I know that, My god.

733
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: The continuity error is Patrick Keating is the President's first

734
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 2: Supreme Court justice nominee during his presidency. But in season two,

735
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: episode eight, Happy Birthday as a President, we learned that

736
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: it's part of the Defiance conspiracy deal. Verna Thornton was

737
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 2: to receive a seat on the Supreme Court, being fits

738
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 2: his first Supreme Court justice nominee in his term. We

739
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 2: need to get someone on this show because I think

740
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: most writers' room have not a dramater, but like a researcher,

741
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 2: isn't there someone in the room whose job it is

742
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 2: is to keep all this shit straight?

743
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: But at some point that stuff has to kind of

744
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: go out the window, and there's got to be creative

745
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: like light what is it called creative license or whatever

746
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: it's called, to just be like you know what, Like, yeah,

747
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: that was that, But listen, there's five hundred freaking episodes

748
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: like give us a break. Listen. I'm a huge Golden

749
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: Girls fan, and in some episodes, Blanche has, you know,

750
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: one daughter and then the other one. She's got two daughters,

751
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: and one of them is named this and that. The

752
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: names change and I'm like, who cares. It's a great show,

753
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?

754
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: Is that true?

755
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, stuff is continuity. Stuff is all screwed up

756
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: on that show.

757
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: And I think I'm on great shows.

758
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

759
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: For example, my first screen test was for Guiding Light,

760
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 2: which is like one or I don't think it's not anymore,

761
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: but it was like the longest running soap opera, and

762
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 2: I was coming on to test to just be someone

763
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: else who already existed in that role. Like that's how

764
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 2: much people don't give a shit?

765
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's where it started. You're right.

766
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 2: They were like, you're auditioning to play like like Abby,

767
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 2: like if I was going in, and just like, you're

768
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: just replacing Abby. She played the role for twenty years

769
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: and now she wants to retire or we can't make

770
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: ends meet in her contract or whatever, so will you

771
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 2: just come on and be this person? And you're like, yeah,

772
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 2: wait what, like no one's care.

773
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the audience somehow accepts it, right, Like they

774
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: don't make a big deal about it, and people just

775

00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: want to be pigeonholed into being a soap opera actor

792
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 2: because then that's all you'll ever be. Well, guys, that's

793
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 2: not true because Melissa Favo's doing great.

794
