I have a question for you guys. 128 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: It's both a actor and a director. I wish as 129 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: an actor I would have had more directors pushed me 130 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: to be better. I feel like I feel like throughout 131 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: my career there's been a few, but mostly it's been 132 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: about stand year, the camera's gonna come here? Do you 133 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: want to go again? Because maybe you should be a 134 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: little angrier as opposed to like taking me in the 135 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: corner and being here. I want to put a fucking 136 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: thought in your head. And I wonder, Johnny, because you 137 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: you can be an intimidating fellow. I wonder did Mangold 138 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: was he able to to do that to you? Did he? 139 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Oliver Stone, you've worked with I mean, if 140 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: you've worked with Fincher, you worked with the legends of 141 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: the world. Have these guys been able to do that 142 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: to you? Have have they done that to you? And 143 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: I want to know your answer too. But you know, 144 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: we'll start with Oliver school of directing. Uh comes with consequences, 145 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: and so if you if you're doing something that's not 146 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: isn't necessarily what Oliver had in mind, He'll yell from 147 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: video Village which is an area away from the set 148 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: where the director and the and the and the people 149 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: who are producing the film are watching it. He'll yell 150 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: from video Village Maginy, walk with me, and that just means, uh, 151 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna go for a walk. And then he tells 152 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: you that you're subverting my vision and you're fucking me, like, 153 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: oh god, he did it in the Philippines, he did 154 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: it down in on Wall Street, he did it, He 155 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: does it everywhere. You're fucking me. You were better when 156 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: you always read actors for him, and he goes, you're 157 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: better when you were reading the actors, but now you're 158 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: fucking me, and you're like, oh my god, horrifying. How 159 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: do you not get it? How do you then not 160 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: spiral Johnny? Because I feel like there's a fine line 161 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: between taking in the corner and being and being constructive 162 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: and being like, you got this, man, but I want 163 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: you to dig deep and do this and being like, 164 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: you're fucking me. I can't imagine that I would be 165 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: so spiraling in my head. I don't know. I guess 166 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: it all started in the Philippines and I just wasn't 167 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: gonna there was nowhere to go. We were ten thousand 168 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: miles from home, and so I guess you gotta rally. 169 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: I don't fucking no. And the obviously tell the opposite 170 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: of that is Katherine Bigelow on Point Break. You know, 171 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: we did that opening great movie, Johnny Johnny, remember when 172 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: it was the was one of those stead camps they 173 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: used the way about eighty pounds and all the big 174 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: Aussie guys used to be the operators. And in the 175 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: beginning of that film there's about a five or six 176 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: minute walk and talk where Keian on I are doing 177 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: all the expository who what where when? How? For the 178 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: whole movie, we're just just stealing speling. I don't stop talking. 179 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: And and we did it thirty six times. I think 180 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: she printed like four eighteen and thirty six, and of 181 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: course four was the one that was in the movie. 182 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: And it's just a wonder and it's just scrubs made 183 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: it look second nature because we did those. But at 184 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: the time when we were doing it, it was a 185 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: big deal. And you know, all the way through the 186 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: bowels of the FBI with this, with this steadicam and 187 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: captain just come over and uh, she's a single most 188 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: supportive person in the history of the planet. But the 189 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: bottom line was we're going again. She would never say anything, 190 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: You'd never say anything. No, she's just the greatest. She's 191 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: like you, you're crushing us. You're crushing us. I'm like that. 192 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: I always know when we have it. What about you Donald, 193 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: Like when you worked with like Boas or or did 194 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: did did they give you? Did you ever get like 195 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: tough direction? But also that like made you dig deeper? Um? Yeah, 196 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: you know. Uh. Bo As was was very much we're 197 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: gonna rehearse. Uh, And we would we would rehearse and 198 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: he wouldn't necessarily be there, but he would come and 199 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: check it out. But he would be like, you guys, 200 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: go rehearse, you know, rehearse amongst yourselves and stuff. And 201 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: then when we would do with the scene, he'd be like, Okay, yeah, 202 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: that's great. Is there anything you want to add to it? Um, 203 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of if they were. I've had 204 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: directors I don't want to say their names. I've had 205 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: directors to be like, you know, you stumbled on that line, 206 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: there goes you're close up. I've had ship like that. 207 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: You that's not gonna help anybody, No, it doesn't. And 208 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: to find a way to too too. I mean, my 209 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: goal when I'm directing someone is all I want is 210 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: for for you to be great? How can I support that? 211 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: Part of it for me is creating an environment on 212 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: the set. You know, Scrubs is the ultimate example. We 213 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: had an environment that was so safe to experiment and 214 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: to and to and to funk up. And it was 215 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: you felt so safe, you felt the net under under 216 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: the under the tight rope, if you will. Um. So, 217 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: I when I'm making my products, I try and create 218 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: that environment again where where you're safe, like there's no 219 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: wrong answer let's play, because I think that puts actors 220 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: in a good headspace. Um. But I'm also making things 221 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: so fast, you know, I'm every the three films I've made, 222 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: I have to go so fast. There isn't a whole 223 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: lot of time to do like what Oliver Stone can 224 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: do in the Philippines and be like Johnny Let's Walk. 225 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: If produces someone like Natalie Let's Walk, everyone looked at 226 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: me like, what the funk are you doing? We have 227 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: a half hour left for the day. That truly is 228 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: a luxury. It has a luxury. I hear stories about 229 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: actors and directors going on like forty five minute walks 230 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: while the crew waits, sometimes two hour walks while the 231 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: crew waits, and then they come back in the scenes different. 232 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna relight it a different way. I've heard 233 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: crazy ass stories about how, you know, how ego gets 234 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: in the way of making movies and had stories from 235 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: that movie, Uh, what's the well I should probably shouldn't 236 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: call it what what with the movie is? But I heard 237 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: stories of a movie star showing up. My friend was 238 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: shooting the movie and he said, you wouldn't believe what 239 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: was going on. Like the movie star would show up 240 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: and be like, all right, well we're obviously not saying 241 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: any of this, so should we go talk about it? 242 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: And it's like what like? So they would then go 243 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: on like long, uh, like like a like a minivan 244 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: ride and like rewrite the day's work and that's how 245 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: the day would start. I mean that gives me anxiety 246 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: even saying it. Have you guys ever like it's happened 247 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: once in my life, Zack, I know when it's happened 248 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: with you, Johnny. Have you ever been so late in 249 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: any way that you've caused a day? We're not a day, 250 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: but you caused a morning I should say the director 251 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: like I've been. I've been, so I've been. Not a chance, 252 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: We're not. Johnny's not late ever, Johnny's early. Johnny gets 253 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: five in the morning and then goes back to sleep. 254 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: That would never happen, right, never happened. That happened to me. 255 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: That happened to me once, Zack, I remember when it 256 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: happened to you, But it happened mine was an alarm 257 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: clock malfunction. Bullshit. But anyway, I told the story in 258 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: the podcast. Did I ever tell you to Henry Winkler's story?

Uh, he didn't have 334 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: to say to me, get your ship together. But it 335 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: was all in the I'm not having this conversation with you. 336 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: You're way smarter than this. You know better than this bullshit. 337 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: Let's get over here, let's do the scene, and let's 338 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: make it right. And then he fucking hit a jukebox. 339 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: Donald Did you ever almost forget your lines when you 340 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: were doing that play you did recently? Yeah, you know, 341 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: I had one thing where it was like a bunch 342 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: of math and stuff like that, and the math didn't 343 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: have to make sense, but it had to be quick. 344 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: And uh, one night I did. I didn't forget the 345 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: line I misspoken said oh, excuse me in it, and 346 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: then I kept going. And then after I went, it 347 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: kind of threw the rhythm off for the show for 348 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: the whole night because I said one line, you know 349 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: what I mean? And and and it really is a 350 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: lesson that when you're doing a show. There's a rhythm 351 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: to it all, you know what I mean. And if 352 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: you stick to the rhythm every time, most likely you're 353 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: gonna get a great performance. If you find the right 354 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: formula and you stick to the rhythm every time, and 355 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: you stick to the formula every time, it's gonna be 356 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: a good show, you know what I mean. And just 357 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: by me saying excuse me, it kind of sucked up 358 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: the rhythm and cues all of a sudden, we're a 359 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: little bit late, and you know what I mean, And 360 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: it was my fault, you know what I mean. And 361 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: it was just because I said excuse me. I could 362 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: always tell with with when we were doing scrubs, and 363 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: especially after about twelve episodes in from twelve episodes on, 364 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: I could always tell whether or not Billy had Billy 365 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: Lawrence had done a pass on Cox because he he 366 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: had written an I had adopted this kind of Martinus 367 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: Scorsese on Heroin syncopatent for Cox. And I also sometimes 368 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: when I was bored, I would start to play with 369 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: the language a little bit, which was irresponsible, but I 370 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 1: get bored sometimes, and uh, if Billy hadn't done a pass, 371 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't memorize the lines because they were written out 372 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: of rhythm and Donald, I'm just borrowing from what you said. 373 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: But Billy would do a pass on Cox. I'd be 374 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: down to my rehearsal space, killing myself trying to remember 375 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: these disconnected fucking rants that somebody wrote, and then I 376 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: I couldn't get them. And then Billy would do a 377 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: pass and something as as much as Donald you even 378 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: saying excuse me, that was out, and then filmed the 379 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: flow and the rhythm, and I could come in and 380 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: I can. I could do it in the Latin, but 381 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: until Billy did a pass, because I get in there 382 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: and I had to hissy fit, and I'd say it's 383 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: Billy done a pass on this thing yet, and they're like, no, 384 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: you haven't seen it. I'm like, well, don't send it 385 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: to me. Did that happened? You'd get sent it and 386 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: memorize it and then it would all be changed. You 387 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: must have gotten living every Monday morning. So he talked 388 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: to me. You must have talked to Bill. Eventually even said, dude, 389 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: you gotta funk. You can't do that to me. Of 390 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: course I did, but Billy was spinning as many plates 391 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: as he You know. One character of an ensemble of badass, 392 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: seven or eight of you, and you know you you 393 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: try to get Billy's attention and you can't. Can't always 394 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: do it. I would go so not. I mean, for 395 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: those of you who don't memorize for a living, it's 396 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: easier for some than others. But these chunks that Johnny 397 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: had to memorize in a short span of time is 398 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: really hard because he has to say them so fast, 399 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: as he did so well. But the idea of spending 400 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: a weekend memorizing that and then get work and there's 401 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: a rewrite, that's my stomach. Even saying that, I get 402 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: a not in my stomach. That's why you must have 403 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,959 Speaker 1: loved it when he had know when he had no 404 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: choice but to go with what was written because we 405 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: didn't have scripts, and so he'd be like, yeah, look, 406 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: here's here's what we're gonna say right now. And he 407 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: would write it while we were doing rehearsals and sick, 408 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: and then he would hand it to you and you'd 409 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: be like, bet, no problem, because he wrote it. It 410 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: was in Cox's and that's whatever that syncopation Billy came 411 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: up with. It was in that and I could groove 412 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: into it. Rememberization memorizations like a muscle, Johnny, I think 413 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: you question, and you really had yours developed? Well, I 414 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: think you know when I've when I've just finished a 415 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: play like I did Romeo and Romo and Juliet when 416 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: I was fresh out of school and another one of 417 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: my early roles. And I mean basically, the second you 418 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: start talking, you don't stop talking for two and a 419 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: half hours. And I even think thinking about it now, 420 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: I get anxious. Uh this many years later this was 421 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: probably too you know, but um, but but by the 422 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: time the play was over, that muscle was so developed 423 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: I could rush it. And I feel like, as Cox, 424 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: you had to do it so on the red Deler 425 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: that you really just you must have had it so dialed. 426 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: Like now, now that might be harder for you because 427 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: you're not memorizing monologues every week I was doing when 428 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: I was doing Bullets over Broadway, we were in previews. 429 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: And um, when you're in previews that for those of 430 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: you who aren't don't know that that means that the 431 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: critics haven't come yet. You're still working out the play. 432 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: You're still the writer and the rector. They're changing things 433 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: all the time. And then after opening night. Then then 434 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: the show is locked, so we're in previews and Woody Allen, 435 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: who wrote the players in the back of the audience 436 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: and he's there and he's when a joke doesn't work, 437 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: he would he would give it come the next day 438 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: and give us a new joke to try that night. 439 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: But sometimes that was really hard because you had the 440 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: whole play memorized, and he would just hand you a 441 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: sup of paper and he'd be like, here, just just 442 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: try this tonight, and you're like, try it. Where where? 443 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: And you're like reading the paper and like scribbled handlend 444 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: like try this where where does it go? Like? And 445 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: then he and you figure it out. And then sometimes 446 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: in the heat of the adrenaline of doing a show 447 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: in front of people, you'd forget. And I there was 448 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: one time I skipped the new joke you wanted me 449 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: to do. And I saw him the next day and 450 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: I said, Woody, I'm really sorry. I got a little 451 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: frazzled and I didn't even try the new joke you 452 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: wanted me to try, and he goes, yeah, you probably 453 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: get a bigger laugh if you actually say it on Johnny, 454 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: will you tell that story? Um that I love that 455 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: you told me once about Platoon where you said, um, 456 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: you were all hanging by the pool when you realize 457 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: that you weren't gonna be in the movie. So because 458 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: the conditions in the Philippines were so tense and so fluid. Uh. 459 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: And we were in something called a triple and they 460 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: were fluid because they're just been a revolution. A guy 461 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: named Ferdinand Marcos had lost an election to a woman 462 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: named Coria Kino, and Marcos wouldn't leave until President Reagan, 463 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: the president at the time, gave him the goal asylum 464 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: in Hawaii. So we that's why we were postponed. I left. 465 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: I was doing Hamlet with Kevin Klein at the public 466 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: and about a weekend of rehearsal, Oliver calls after the 467 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: I've been cast in the film a year and a 468 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: half earlier, and then the money went away and he 469 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: called me. He goes, McKinley, do you want to play 470 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: the fourth lead? I'm like, who the funk is this? 471 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: It's Oliver Stone. Are you want to go to Philippines? 472 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I would love to go to the Philippines, 473 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: but I'm doing I'm playing third guy on the left 474 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: and in Hamlet with Kevin Klein over at the Public 475 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: and he goes tell tell Joe Path that that that 476 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: it's me. I'm like, oh, sure, I'm gonna go talk 477 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: to Mr Pap and call him. You know. It's like 478 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: the Wizard of Fun. And so Rosemary Tishler, who was 479 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: the casting person over at the Public at the time 480 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: and a friend of mine from n y U. She 481 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: came in and taught an audition class to us, and 482 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: she wanted great great women ever, And I called Rosemary. 483 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: I went to see her, and I said, uh, I 484 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: got off for this movie. It's in the Philippines, and 485 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: it would me mean would mean me leaving rehearsal bit 486 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: And just like anybody in New York would be like 487 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: crossing Johnny Friendly and on the waterfront. If she said, 488 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: if you go to this film, you'll never work here again, 489 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: I would not have gone and done the film. Neither 490 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: would at any anybody in New York, because once you 491 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: get in that fraternity slashed Arong Shakespeare Festival that you stay, 492 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: you keep doing plays. And Rosemary said, well, uh, you're 493 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: fine with me, but you can't have to go see Joe. 494 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: And I'm like, everybody stopped calling him Joe, and so 495 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: I go in and he was you know, he had 496 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: a boat and he was this guy. It was the 497 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: way to back this bucket smuth. And so you know, 498 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm knocking like I'm going to see the Wizard and 499 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: the Wizard of Oz and he goes, come in, back, 500 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: come in, and so I go to see Mr Pap 501 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: and I told him my story. He goes, go, We'll 502 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: do happen it again when you get back. I was 503 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: just like crying, even thinking I'm so happy they didn't 504 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: prevent you from going. I would have been hard alone. 505 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: And so I go back. I was living in the 506 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: funeral parlor at the time, one the neutral only funeral parlor, 507 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: and so I go up five stories and I'm there. 508 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: And a week or so after I removed myself from Hamlet, 509 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: there's a revolution in the Philippines because this guy Marcos 510 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: won't leave. And so we get postponed for months and 511 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: months and months, and the play opens, and you know, 512 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: Vincent can be called at the most important hamlet on 513 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: these shores. I'm sitting in the funeral polo going like, 514 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, I hate my life. I hate my life. 515 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: And finally we we get the green light to go 516 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: because the revolution had subsided a little bit, but not 517 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: that much. And so uh And in the meantime this 518 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: language had come out. A bunch of actors in New 519 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 1: York on five or six of them circulated this language 520 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: because we're going to go through this two and a 521 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: half three week boot camp that if you got hurt 522 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: in boot camp, um, you you get to do the film. 523 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: And Ill was like, no, if you get hurt, book him, 524 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: you you get rotated out. You can't be a soldier 525 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: over the boat and arm And so I didn't sign it. 526 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: And the five people who did, uh, I didn't go 527 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: to the Philippines. And so I finally get there and 528 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: only to come to find out that it's a very 529 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: tricky place. We're shooting in this triple canopy jungle, which 530 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: meant there was vegetation at ten ft, another vegetation of 531 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: and these monstrous trees at fifty ft. So it's very 532 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: dark and and swampy underneath these these three canopies of flora, 533 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: and we're shooting. And there was no shot list because 534 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: Oliver had to change things every day and on the fly, 535 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: which he did brilliantly. But the whole there was three 536 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: squads of eight, so there was twenty four of us, 537 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: and every day everybody was called to the set and 538 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: sometimes you just sat there all day because you're not 539 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: the scene. You you're not the scene, and so it 540 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: was about two hour bus ride out to the place 541 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: and then you'd sit and you weren't the scene. There's 542 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: two hours back. And so this happened for a couple 543 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: of weeks. And so Forest Whitaker and Johnny Depp and 544 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: I uh asked Albert that if we weren't in it's 545 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: going to be shooting that day, could we stay at 546 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: the hotel? And he acquiesced, and so we're finally sitting 547 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: by the pool and we got what we wanted and Forest, 548 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: I don't do a good Forest invitation, but Forest comes 549 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: over to Johnny and he goes. You would get the 550 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: feeling that while we're here, we're not in the movie. 551 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: We all started coming back to the set every day 552 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: and Oliver would put us. Oliver would put us on 553 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: this mountain about a mile out of the frame, and 554 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: we and you weren't even a spec and you'd be 555 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: back there and we started calling it power background. And 556 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: so guys were doing their best brand though a mile 557 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: up amount and we called the power Background. I just 558 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: love it. I just I just loove that. You guys 559 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: were like, all right this, We're not gonna sit in 560 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: the jungle. We're gonna go sit by the pool. And 561 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: then and then it's like you you, Forest Whitaker and 562 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: Johnny Depp sitting there on your lounge, on your lounge, 563 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: shares with with with a cocktail. And then all of 564 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: a sudden, someone has the realization, you know, he's probably 565 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: just improbably improvising this movie and we're sitting here at 566 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: the pool, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, and first first and 567 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: I wish I could do a first invitation, but he 568 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: was like, if we're here when in the movie and 569 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: got that. Johnny c is a legend. Speaking of legends, 570 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: for very obvious reasons, Heather Graham was one of our 571 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: most listened to guests and it was such an honor 572 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: to have her on the podcast. Yes she's going, yes 573 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: she's funny, but she's also very kind and one of 574 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: my favorite insights she left us swift was the joy, 575 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: despair and encourage you meant that can happen when one 576 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: is auditioning. Auditioning is one of the most difficult aspects 577 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: of an actor's career. You get one chance to get 578 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: it right, one chance to potentially change your life. And 579 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: hearing the guys talk about how they used to daydream 580 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: about what they do with their new casting money, and 581 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: you know, also the downfalls of walking out of a 582 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: room when the actor killed it. It's a lot of fun. So, 583 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: without further ado, here's Heather Graham telling us some of 584 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: her favorite audition stories. That's the thing, it's the hardest 585 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: thing to be in a moment for these auditions. Like 586 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: you get the audition and you're like, I'm so excited 587 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: to audition for this. You look at the side and 588 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, your head, your mind wanders 589 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: off into all the things that you're gonna do after 590 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: you get the part. You know what I mean, After 591 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: I get this part, I'm gonna go on vacation. I'm 592 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: I'm what I'm gonna do with this money. I'm gonna 593 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get me, I'm gonna get my girl, gonna 594 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: get I'm gonna get a role. And you think about 595 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: all the things you're gonna do with this money and 596 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: all of the fame that's gonna come with this part 597 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: before you even get it, and then you go on 598 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: to audition. It never helps because you go on to 599 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: the audition and when you walk out, you're like, well, 600 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: I guess I gotta wait for the next audition to 601 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: get that, you know what I mean, Like it's the worst, man, 602 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: I like I always do that. The one the auditions 603 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: that I do great on are the ones where I'm like, 604 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: I don't give a funk, man, I'm just gonna go 605 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: in there. I'm gonna do whatever the fun it is 606 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: I do, and I'm gonna leave and I'm not gonna talk. 607 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna try, and I'm not gonna try and 608 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: wow anybody with the freaking what I've been doing in 609 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: my off time. Funk that ship. I'm gonna go in there, 610 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna fucking do the audition, and I'm gonna leave. 611 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: And those are the ones where usually do for things occasionally. 612 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: Well that's what I was, you know, I feel like, 613 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, when we were auditioning for things like, I 614 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: just feel like people don't audition in person anymore, and 615 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: now I feel like everyone has to send a tape 616 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: if you ever do like you do, you guys, ever 617 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: audition in person anymore. Well, no, but not during COVID, 618 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: but before COVID occasionally, Heather Win like it was like 619 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: a super fancy director by the way. By the way, 620 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: the director wouldn't necessarily be there. It was like some 621 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: mega A list director, but they're interested. They want you 622 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: to go in, and if it was someone dying to 623 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: work with, I would do it. Um. But yeah, you're right. 624 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: I actually think I actually think it's better, though, Heather, 625 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: because you have more self tape. Well, don't get me wrong. 626 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: It's great to go in the room and meet the 627 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: director and shoot the ship and and see if you 628 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: have a connection. Um, But I do think a self 629 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: tape you can at least shape and practice and only 630 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: send the best one. But I think most some people 631 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: might be surprised that, you know, no matter even when 632 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: you've had success in this business, you still have to 633 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: go out in campaign to get parts. Auditioning is terrifying, 634 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: it really is. It's the hardest thing on the planet 635 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: when it comes. That's the hardest thing in acting. Forget 636 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: the parts, forget during the role, forget all that the 637 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: other stuff, Forget everything that comes after you get the 638 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: part or before you get the part. The audition is 639 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: that's the toughest thing to do. You it's harding the 640 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: actual role one shot to nail it, get one shot, 641 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: and if you're lucky, the director says, I like that, 642 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 1: let's try it again this way. And usually when that happens, 643 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean you got the role. That just 644 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: means your preparation wasn't what the director saw, you know 645 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: what I mean. And so it's like it's the it's 646 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: the hardest thing ever, and so to get roles and 647 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm always I'm always so appreciative that an audition was 648 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: all it was what it took for me to you know, 649 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,720 Speaker 1: you liked what I did in the room, You're gonna 650 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: love what I do when I when when the cameras rolling, 651 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: then it does feel like there's no other way to 652 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: really do it. But but but it does feel like 653 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: not a great test for how well you're gonna be 654 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: on set because you're coming in with all this adrenaline, 655 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: you're coming in with nerves, You're doing it in front 656 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: of however many random people, and so it's not it's 657 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: it's it's a bit like an obstacle course, you know 658 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like you have to do it now 659 00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: under pressure.

It's 662 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: crazy in the waiting room too though, when you see 663 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: other the other people that are auditioning, you know what 664 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: if you know them or yeah, it's play mind games too. 665 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: I remember back in the day, like all these people 666 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: would be like I really was aware of the psychology 667 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: of the waiting room. How people would try and distract you. 668 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: How people would, you know, start conversation with you, like 669 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: they knew you were going next, so they would like 670 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: try and keep take your mind off of learning, you know, 671 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: working on the lines.

I couldn't figure out if 794 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: it was or not. I was that a cowboy switch? 795 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: I feel like it was. I feel like you came 796 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: running up in the hallway and from the back, then 797 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 1: it was cowboy switch, and then you popped up. I know, 798 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: but it was so seamless that so, for those of 799 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: you who don't remember a cowboy switches when the actor 800 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: who's not a stunt man is hiding and the stuntman 801 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 1: does something insane and then kind of goes off camera 802 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: and then the real actor plops up. So j D 803 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,280 Speaker 1: does this insane sort of slide under a girl any 804 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: and then I pop up. I'm pretty I'm like, I'm 805 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: pretty sure it's a cowboy switch, but man, it is seamless. 806 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: You cannot tell. It's so like the timing of me 807 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: coming up was so it's over. And I mean, you 808 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: did always for the most part, try your own falls always, 809 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 1: so it's very possible. I did. I did. I did 810 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: a lot of them. But when when when when you know? 811 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: The thing about a stunt man is there is when 812 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: there's a real chance, like, okay, you could get hurt 813 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: doing this one, like like when I exit the room, 814 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: that's it takes a really hard fall on the gurney 815 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 1: tipping over. So you don't want your actors breaking anything 816 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: because then you can't fucking make the show. So a 817 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: lot of these actors, also, stunt people often don't get 818 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: paid well. They get like one rate to show up, 819 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: but then often they won't get more money unless they 820 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 1: do the thing. So sometimes I feel for stunt people 821 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 1: who are like, oh, come on you, I don't want 822 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 1: to show off and do it yourself, but let me 823 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,479 Speaker 1: do the stunt and uh and so I often tried 824 00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: to do them, but but but some of them where 825 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: I could like break up hand, they were like, no, 826 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: you're not doing that. I would still, even not doing 827 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: my own stunts. Come once a season two scrubs on 828 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: crutches with having torn the ligaments in my left ankle. 829 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,399 Speaker 1: I think it was about once a year, and I'd 830 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: be like, Randall, I'm so sorry. They would like they 831 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,479 Speaker 1: would have me like standing behind the beside the bed 832 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: and standing in a lot of scenes and not walking. 833 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: How many how many times did you get injured making 834 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,880 Speaker 1: this show? I feel like it was it was always 835 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: my ankle, and it was never doing anything fabulous. I 836 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: would come to send people like how do you do 837 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: and I'd be like, I was walking Lolan, and I 838 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 1: tripped on a pine ground on the sidewalk, and then 839 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: it was yeah, it was. It was basically the first 840 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: time I did it. I was in college and my 841 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 1: leg was crossed and my foot fell asleep and I 842 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: was in like a five personal lecture hall and I 843 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,959 Speaker 1: got up to ask the professor question and I went 844 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: down on like I went over my ankle. I ruled 845 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: my ankle and it swoll up to the size of 846 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: a grapefruit and they X rayed and I was nineteen 847 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: years old and I had a growth plate that hadn't 848 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 1: closed because I had finished growing. But they thought it 849 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 1: was a hairline fractures. So like by mistake, put into 850 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,399 Speaker 1: a plaster cast up to my knee and I went 851 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: to go film an episode of The Rosanne Show and 852 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: she was like. Roseanne was like, it doesn't make sense. 853 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: You would have that get that taken off, and so 854 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: I did, even though like that's like a kid who 855 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:16,440 Speaker 1: has like, you know, a potentially what's wrong take that cast. 856 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 1: So they asked me to the cast off, so I did, 857 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: and the doctor down there was like, here, it's actually 858 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,720 Speaker 1: a blessing in disguise because this is like a growth 859 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,399 Speaker 1: place that hasn't closed. It's not a caroline for actually, 860 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: if it's not broken, you just sprained it really badly 861 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 1: and that's why it swole up so much. Coldness actually 862 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: helped you. It was It was such a it was 863 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: a gift. Man, it's all for you. Sarah. Tell everyone 864 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,720 Speaker 1: who's listening about your seven thousand dollar dog. And before 865 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,319 Speaker 1: you judge everyone, No, she didn't go buy some boutique, 866 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: fancy expensive that was.

So we were there 874 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 1: and we were excited.

Listen 976 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,319 Speaker 1: to me do Willie Loman, because you know, just here here, 977 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: I'll give you a sandwich and let I would come 978 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 1: to see you do a little would something. I'd love 979 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 1: to do it. But but but the thing is, you 980 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 1: need an acter, needs an audience, and even if it's 981 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:14,239 Speaker 1: a kid with a camera, you're still performing. So I 982 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:20,440 Speaker 1: happened to appreciate it. Uh. The other thing is is, um, 983 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 1: I like being nervous. I like the jitters of like 984 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: an opening night. That's fun for me. I know I'm 985 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 1: not gonna die, I know that my life is not 986 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,440 Speaker 1: on the line. I know nothing's gonna happen to my kids. 987 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,360 Speaker 1: But I get nervous, like being on a roller coaster 988 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,920 Speaker 1: can be fun. And so you're going in front of 989 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 1: important people. You make it a job. This could be 990 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 1: the job that makes you a huge amount of money, 991 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 1: brings you fame, and you might be Matt Terry and 992 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 1: in friends you don't know. Uh so, who knows what 993 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,400 Speaker 1: this audition is going to bring or that the person 994 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 1: that you're auditioning for may become a good friend. Whatever 995 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 1: it is. But you're nervous. Things around the line A 996 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,360 Speaker 1: good way to live. I never heard a bet like that, 997 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,520 Speaker 1: but heard the nervous. I heard the nervous part put 998 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,520 Speaker 1: like that. I've never heard the actors need to perform. 999 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 1: Look at it as a room to perform. I do. Oh, 1000 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:20,200 Speaker 1: it's an opportunity. And that's that's such a golf analogy too. 1001 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 1: That's such a golf analogy, dude. But it's an opportunity. 1002 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:28,200 Speaker 1: Here's here's another crazy thing that if I'm teaching, which 1003 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't do a lot of but I have, when 1004 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 1: you go in for an audition, you are going, oh, 1005 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: dear God, let me get this role. Please let me 1006 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,560 Speaker 1: be good, Please let me be great. I don't go 1007 00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,080 Speaker 1: in that way. I go in and I see six 1008 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,279 Speaker 1: people who all want to make Larry David money. They 1009 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,120 Speaker 1: all want the successive side field. They all want the 1010 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,399 Speaker 1: success of curb your enthusiasm. That's what they want. They 1011 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,799 Speaker 1: want money, they want success. They don't care whether I 1012 00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:01,919 Speaker 1: get the role. They want money. And I go in saying, if, 1013 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,840 Speaker 1: and you have to believe this, you have to believe 1014 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,520 Speaker 1: you're the right actor for the role. But if I, 1015 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,839 Speaker 1: if I believe that, which a lot of times I do, 1016 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 1: I can do this. I go in with the mindset of, Guys, 1017 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to help you make a lot of money. 1018 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 1: You better if when you cast me, you better cast 1019 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:29,799 Speaker 1: around me as good as me, because I'll help you 1020 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: make money. I'm going to help make this thing great. 1021 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:38,480 Speaker 1: Don't worry. I got your back talk. But most people 1022 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: go in going, oh, I gotta get this. Oh. If 1023 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,640 Speaker 1: you go in with the with the feeling of I'm 1024 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 1: going to help you make the success, that takes all 1025 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 1: the pressure off of you. Yeah, Richard, I love that. 1026 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,840 Speaker 1: And I had to say from when I'm directing, I 1027 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: learned a lot about auditioning when I was directing. Because 1028 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,520 Speaker 1: you sit you think that being on the other side 1029 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 1: of the table is fun. It's fun. For about thirty 1030 00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:05,000 Speaker 1: five minutes, and then it's really grueling and stressful because 1031 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 1: all you're thinking is funk, We're not going to find 1032 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 1: this guy or this gal. So what I always say 1033 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 1: to actors is you need to I mean, yours is 1034 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 1: brilliant and I'm gonna steal it. But I also say, 1035 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,959 Speaker 1: they're you don't know this. They're rooting for you. They want, 1036 00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 1: they're dying for you to be good. If you're great, 1037 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 1: they're done. If you're great. They're gonna make money if 1038 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,360 Speaker 1: you're good, and all you want to be good for yourself. 1039 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,360 Speaker 1: Don't guess they're they're saying, Dear God, give me somebody 1040 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 1: who's good. I agree with you. Now I'm gonna bring 1041 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 1: up something that you're gonna hate. But you know that 1042 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring it up when you were doing going 1043 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 1: my way. I auditioned for the bank or at the beginning, 1044 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,040 Speaker 1: and I did not have and I only went on 1045 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 1: tape and I did not have. I remember not being 1046 00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:59,400 Speaker 1: not feeling good about it. I remember it, and I, 1047 00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 1: of course you care whether or not you get it. 1048 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: I think I requested you come in for it. Okay, 1049 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 1: could be what I wanted to do. Let's not get 1050 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 1: the role I wanted to do. I wanted to impress Zack. 1051 00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,839 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's what I wanted to do. Now, 1052 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 1: the guy you hired happened to be a friend of 1053 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 1: mine and he's great. Yeah, it's wonderful. Uh and I 1054 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,640 Speaker 1: do you do you mind not getting a role? Oh? Yeah, 1055 00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: it happens. But that that was my mindset and it 1056 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 1: could have gotten in my way of doing a good job. Well, 1057 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,360 Speaker 1: I gotta say that. What what I think is I 1058 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,920 Speaker 1: recall I asked you to come in because I literally 1059 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:43,120 Speaker 1: when I when I'm casting something and it's a particularly 1060 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 1: a funny part, I'm like, well, who are the funny 1061 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,319 Speaker 1: people that I like working with? I agree with age 1062 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,839 Speaker 1: and you're at the top of that list. Um, and 1063 00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 1: uh but yeah, I I I I really like And 1064 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of actors listening. Who who who? 1065 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 1: This is this really useful advice. The audition process. We've 1066 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,799 Speaker 1: all been groomed our whole lives to be like and 1067 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 1: we do it. Oh shit, I'm nervous. Oh shit, come on, 1068 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,480 Speaker 1: please come on, God, come on, Universe, give this to me. 1069 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 1: But it really comes down to not walking in that room, terrified, 1070 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 1: walking in that room with your shoulders back going, guys, 1071 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: let me let me help you. I'm here to do this. 1072 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,960 Speaker 1: Let me help you. I'm not necessarily saying that you 1073 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: can't say no performance. Let's just be clearman, Yes, yes, actors, 1074 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 1: please don't walk in the room and say you're looking. 1075 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm here. You don't say it out loude you go. 1076 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,520 Speaker 1: You don't say hey, fucker's you better cast as well? 1077 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 1: This is a good segue into can you tell us 1078 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 1: about Spince? Your audition for Spin City and and and 1079 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: and Bill and how all that went? I got a 1080 00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 1: great story. This is this, take about five minutes? Great story? 1081 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,880 Speaker 1: You could you can take an hour. Go ahead, tea time. 1082 00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 1: He's got a tea time, but take take five minutes time. Yes, 1083 00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 1: but we're talking about me. So I guess I have 1084 00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 1: a lot. I'll only I'll only play eight homes if 1085 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 1: I can keep talking about being probably how good I am? 1086 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,320 Speaker 1: Richard Richard Richard only as a tea time if we're 1087 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 1: talking about things unrelated to him. All right, So uh, 1088 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 1: Gary David Goldberg had a show called Champs. It was 1089 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 1: about it was sort of like that Championship season. It 1090 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,040 Speaker 1: was it was sort of based on his life. It 1091 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,640 Speaker 1: was one coach and five guys who were best friends, 1092 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,160 Speaker 1: of which Gary does have that life. He he had 1093 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,960 Speaker 1: his best friends who were a basketball team from when 1094 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 1: he was in high school. So he made a sitcom 1095 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,320 Speaker 1: about that club chance and I wanted to read for it, 1096 00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,000 Speaker 1: and Gary said, he's not right. He goes, I know 1097 00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,840 Speaker 1: Richard kind, I know him from Man About He's not 1098 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 1: he's not right for it, and I'm going I I 1099 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 1: just let me read. He would not see me. That 1100 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 1: show went the way of most shows, like one season. 1101 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 1: Then he had Spin City and he didn't want to 1102 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:14,000 Speaker 1: see me. And we called the casting director, and the 1103 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,120 Speaker 1: casting director spoke to Bill Lawrence and Bill wanted to 1104 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 1: see me, and I said, let me go in and 1105 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,400 Speaker 1: see the casting director first so that I I can practice 1106 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 1: and see it because Gary doesn't want to see me. 1107 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 1: And Gary says, oh, I know, I know which you're 1108 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 1: kind for Man About you and he's great. He's great. 1109 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,800 Speaker 1: He's not right for the role. Gary didn't want to 1110 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 1: see me. Bill did. I had a handle on this part. 1111 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,760 Speaker 1: The only thing that would have uh not gone it 1112 00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:42,800 Speaker 1: for me is because I was too tall from Michael J. 1113 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 1: Fox or I might have been too Jewish ethnic New 1114 00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 1: York City for whatever. But otherwise, if they called me back, 1115 00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:56,520 Speaker 1: the role is mine. So I wanted to go into 1116 00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:01,080 Speaker 1: the casting director and then I went into UH the 1117 01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:05,080 Speaker 1: UH to read for Bill and for Gary, and indeed 1118 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,120 Speaker 1: I was called back. And I literally said to myself, 1119 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 1: if they called me back, this role is mine. Okay, 1120 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 1: I have to go in to meet with Michael. Cut 1121 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 1: back years before when I was at Second City, Michael J. 1122 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 1: Fox came to the Second City was doing the movie Satisfaction. 1123 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 1: Let me just for those for those that don't know, 1124 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:32,320 Speaker 1: Second Cities an improv group ahead right and uh and 1125 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,080 Speaker 1: I was part of the company, and whenever somebody famous 1126 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 1: was in the audist, we would invite them to improvise 1127 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 1: with us, which we did with Michael. So Michael and 1128 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 1: Robin Duke are doing a scene there was obviously he 1129 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 1: was the son, she was the mother. It's obvious if 1130 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 1: I opened the door and I say, Honey, I'm home, 1131 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm the father, and I belong there. I So I 1132 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 1: come into the scene with Honney I'm home, and Michael 1133 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 1: bounded one too three and jumped into my like this, 1134 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,680 Speaker 1: I mean off the floor into my arms. Now a 1135 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:18,120 Speaker 1: couple of things. I'm strong, but I'm not that strong. 1136 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 1: Michael J. Fox is so light that anybody's strong. And 1137 01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:31,160 Speaker 1: he clumped onto me like David Letterman did with self pro. 1138 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 1: You remember when he did that too, And Michael did 1139 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,800 Speaker 1: that and he hung on like that when I tell you, 1140 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: and you've got to understand how long time is. There 1141 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 1: was a forty five second laugh. It's and it wasn't that. 1142 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 1: It was that. It was Michael was so athletic and 1143 01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 1: agile and knew the laugh and he just hung on 1144 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 1: and I walked around with him. I'm telling you like 1145 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,880 Speaker 1: a money like at Yeah, they were dying. It is 1146 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 1: a laugh. I will always remember it in my head. 1147 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,720 Speaker 1: It's like a movie. I can see what it looks like. 1148 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:22,320 Speaker 1: Memorable before I went into the audition. Cut to today, okay, 1149 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 1: to to the audition for Spin City. And sometimes I 1150 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,640 Speaker 1: don't have a therapist anymore, but at the time I 1151 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:30,960 Speaker 1: had a therapist, and it was a good luck thing 1152 01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,960 Speaker 1: that I go and see my therapist sometime before I 1153 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 1: had the audition, and it would loosen me up, it 1154 01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 1: would make me feel alive or whatever. So I go 1155 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,600 Speaker 1: in and I say, I tell him the story and 1156 01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:45,959 Speaker 1: I say, should I bring it up? And my therapist goes, absolutely, 1157 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 1: if it was that memorable, absolutely bring it up. I 1158 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,880 Speaker 1: go in, I meet Michael, and I say, I've got 1159 01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:56,920 Speaker 1: to tell you. You You may not we've met before. I 1160 01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,200 Speaker 1: was on stage at Second City and we did is 1161 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,360 Speaker 1: and this is what Michael said, and he's given me 1162 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:07,480 Speaker 1: permission to to tell the story. He goes, I'm sorry, 1163 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 1: I don't remember it because I was so drunk and 1164 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,120 Speaker 1: high during that point in my life. I don't even 1165 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:21,640 Speaker 1: remember doing Satisfaction. He did not remember being at Second City, 1166 01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,240 Speaker 1: he didn't remember being in Chicago. He had no memory 1167 01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:30,200 Speaker 1: of really doing the movie. Isn't that amazing? God, I know, 1168 01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,680 Speaker 1: isn't that isn't that sensing one of the biggest It's 1169 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,800 Speaker 1: crazy that one of the biggest moments in your life, 1170 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:40,680 Speaker 1: one of the moments that of a memorable laugh. He 1171 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,880 Speaker 1: had no clue, no clue. He has no memory of 1172 01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 1: leaping leaping onto one of the improv comedians. He has 1173 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 1: no memory of leaping on and holding one. However, this 1174 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:56,320 Speaker 1: is something I then remember about the audition. This is 1175 01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,479 Speaker 1: something I clearly remember. Is I had a They wrote 1176 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:05,680 Speaker 1: Bill Lawrence, as you know, as everybody who's listening. Bill 1177 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:11,120 Speaker 1: Lawrence is a fucking genius. He works very hard at 1178 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 1: being a genius, and sometimes he works to the last 1179 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 1: minute at being a genius. But nonetheless he is a 1180 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:23,440 Speaker 1: genius at what he has chosen to do. He's he 1181 01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:28,400 Speaker 1: makes things accessible, funny, weird. And let me get to 1182 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: to that a little later. But I remember doing the 1183 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,600 Speaker 1: scene and he wrote such a brilliant funny line. Because 1184 01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,720 Speaker 1: he was a great writer. Um Gary was a great 1185 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,960 Speaker 1: show runner. Not necessarily he was a great captain. He 1186 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:46,040 Speaker 1: was not necessarily as great a writer as some of 1187 01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:47,880 Speaker 1: the products that he put out. But when you have 1188 01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,280 Speaker 1: a genius like like Bill Lawrence, you can get it. 1189 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 1: And Gary was able to to teach things, to build 1190 01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 1: and generate things that Bill not only learn but cultivated 1191 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 1: and made blast him even more. But that I had 1192 01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:08,040 Speaker 1: one hilariously funny line that I read at Michael J. Fox. 1193 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if I could do it. I don't think 1194 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: I'm met late anymore. In this chair's gonna gonna roll, 1195 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 1: He jumped in the air like this and just landed. 1196 01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 1: He jumped in the air with laughter and landed on 1197 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,360 Speaker 1: the chair. He laughed that hard at my delivery, and 1198 01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,720 Speaker 1: I have to admit I walked out of there going 1199 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:33,040 Speaker 1: the part is mine, Yeah, it's mine. We we we. 1200 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 1: Donald and I have spoken about his timing Michael J. Fox. 1201 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I I grew up watching family ties, and 1202 01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:43,400 Speaker 1: I didn't know how to analyze comedy or or anything 1203 01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,560 Speaker 1: about it at a young age. But I just knew 1204 01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:50,919 Speaker 1: that he was doing something unique with his timing that 1205 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,160 Speaker 1: was so special. And Bill has said to us that 1206 01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:58,400 Speaker 1: no one, no one could hold the pause and wait 1207 01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,960 Speaker 1: for the laugh better than than Mike Fox. He he 1208 01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,760 Speaker 1: just knew. It's like you watch those teenage girls playing 1209 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 1: double dutch and how they know just when to go in. 1210 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,080 Speaker 1: Like Michael J. Fox was just so skilled at just 1211 01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 1: the right amount of pause, right he was. I'm gonna 1212 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,800 Speaker 1: tell you. I'll tell you two things. Number One, I 1213 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: heard Carl Reiner interviewed by Bob Costas, and Carl Reiner 1214 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 1: said sitcoms were written by Jews to be acted by 1215 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 1: non Jews. And Michael J. Fox has the rhythm of 1216 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 1: a bors belt comedian Jewish. Michael great, great, great talent. 1217 01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:47,880 Speaker 1: He has that rhythm. And now I'm gonna tell you 1218 01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:52,440 Speaker 1: something else. This is sour grapes a little bit. Michael 1219 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,600 Speaker 1: could hold for the for that he could take a 1220 01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:59,760 Speaker 1: line and make it three lines, and the camera would 1221 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 1: alway be on him because he's Michael J. Fox and 1222 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,800 Speaker 1: he's the star of the show. If we tried to 1223 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,840 Speaker 1: do it, Gary would edit it and it would all 1224 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:12,160 Speaker 1: be compressed because we're not the start, and you've just 1225 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,640 Speaker 1: got to understand you're not the star. But I would, Well, 1226 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,240 Speaker 1: maybe I couldn't do what he did, because quite honestly, 1227 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,880 Speaker 1: what he did something. I've done this with Michael, and 1228 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 1: I've done this with Christopher Walking. I have acted with them, 1229 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,560 Speaker 1: and as they're talking, in my head, I'm going, really, 1230 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 1: that's how you're going to deliver the line. That's your 1231 01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:43,000 Speaker 1: that's your choice. That's what you want to say and 1232 01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,400 Speaker 1: how you want to say. All right, that's if that's 1233 01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 1: going on in my head. And I would do that 1234 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,480 Speaker 1: with Michael. And I was lucky enough to act with 1235 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,280 Speaker 1: Christopher Walking, and I see them on screen and it 1236 01:07:54,320 --> 01:08:06,480 Speaker 1: takes a breath of Richard kind everybody. To conclude our episode, 1237 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:12,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna have the most visited guest, the person without 1238 01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:15,680 Speaker 1: whom none of this would be possible.

Tell everybody what occurred? 1254 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:11,280 Speaker 1: Uh So, this is fascinating, man, because the book, it's 1255 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,880 Speaker 1: an it's an old argument that's kind of gone away 1256 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:19,480 Speaker 1: thanks to streaming. But what UM television network television specifically 1257 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:24,600 Speaker 1: considered appropriate with sensors um and with standards and practices 1258 01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:30,200 Speaker 1: was so weird, especially you know, the ageld argument was violence, 1259 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,080 Speaker 1: you know versus uh sexual cond You know, you kill 1260 01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,680 Speaker 1: anybody on TV, but don't have anybody uh you know, 1261 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,439 Speaker 1: taking someone shirt off or something like that is crazy. 1262 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:45,479 Speaker 1: And this episode in particular drove me insane because, um, 1263 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:52,520 Speaker 1: it was before UH medicinal marijuana was crazy, crazy widespread. 1264 01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:58,320 Speaker 1: And the episode was originally written that Elliott and Carla 1265 01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:01,640 Speaker 1: are trying to help a cancerous woman who is on 1266 01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,479 Speaker 1: the way out and just having such a hard time 1267 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 1: with the pain and the discomfort. It was them out 1268 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:12,040 Speaker 1: and about trying to get her marijuana because they knew 1269 01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:16,679 Speaker 1: medically that it would alleviate a ship ton of her symptoms. UM. 1270 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,559 Speaker 1: And we handed that script in and said, you can't 1271 01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,439 Speaker 1: there this. You can't, unfortunately for you on NBC, even 1272 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:28,120 Speaker 1: though it's um for altruistic reasons. You can't have a 1273 01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,519 Speaker 1: physician and a nurse driving around trying to find someone 1274 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,320 Speaker 1: they can buy pot off of post one moment there, 1275 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,680 Speaker 1: Bill is, I recall we be you handed it in, 1276 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,280 Speaker 1: but we had begun shooting you. We shot a scene 1277 01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:42,040 Speaker 1: or two of it. Is that, Yeah, but you know 1278 01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,280 Speaker 1: that just makes me look like some doing all right? 1279 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 1: So what Zack story? One of the parts of zack 1280 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,080 Speaker 1: story is Bill sometimes didn't hand in the script until 1281 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:54,680 Speaker 1: after we started. Yeah, yeah, but you did, Yeah, the 1282 01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 1: subject says Bill. Uh, Well, you had the you had 1283 01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:00,120 Speaker 1: the power and cloud to be able to do it 1284 01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,599 Speaker 1: like that in the day. But this was the one chance. 1285 01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,040 Speaker 1: This is the one opportunity where they were like yeah, 1286 01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 1: but no, yeah, so say they said we wouldn't air it. 1287 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:11,280 Speaker 1: And partly because it was an easy fix, and partly 1288 01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:15,479 Speaker 1: because I found it so hypocritical, I said, all right, well, 1289 01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,760 Speaker 1: because we need the story to stork structurally, we'll just 1290 01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:22,200 Speaker 1: have the woman that's dying be a virgin, and we'll 1291 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 1: have Elliott and Carla go look for a man horse 1292 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,480 Speaker 1: so she can get laid.

Sometimes 1338 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:05,400 Speaker 1: and I strolled down into the apartment set, which was 1339 01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:08,040 Speaker 1: away from everywhere else, and I walked in and terror 1340 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:10,880 Speaker 1: Read was sitting on a throne of toilet paper, and 1341 01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,120 Speaker 1: they were like a bunch of male models dancing around, 1342 01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:15,400 Speaker 1: and I'm like, what the hell is going on? How 1343 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,840 Speaker 1: is this? This isn't something for national television? Is it? Like? No, no, 1344 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:23,320 Speaker 1: you guys?

And then there's another where I'm sort 1349 01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:43,599 Speaker 1: of a studious, nerdy guy reading my book and she's 1350 01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:47,400 Speaker 1: filled the apartment with male strippers who are gyrating all 1351 01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:53,840 Speaker 1: over her. Hammocks everywhere or something it will be out 1352 01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:57,560 Speaker 1: of hammocks everywhere. Why Bill?

I think that that was 1355 01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:12,800 Speaker 1: That was loosely based on a story I told about 1356 01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,960 Speaker 1: my college roommate named Steve mac who whenever we went 1357 01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,160 Speaker 1: on spring breaks or on trips, every time he opened 1358 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:21,920 Speaker 1: his backpack there'd be toilet paper in there. And it 1359 01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,800 Speaker 1: just always by the way, It's like those people that 1360 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:26,760 Speaker 1: bring their own pillow on trips and you think, and 1361 01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,280 Speaker 1: then you sleep on the pillow. And we used to 1362 01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:31,120 Speaker 1: give him a ship, you know, like, oh, if you 1363 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 1: baby your ass, little baby, you we get you know, 1364 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,040 Speaker 1: we used to give him costs of shit about it. 1365 01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,360 Speaker 1: But then you get to some ski resort or some 1366 01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:41,479 Speaker 1: shitty hotel and they would have like two ply sand 1367 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,639 Speaker 1: paper hanging from metal thing by the toilet, and Steve 1368 01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 1: mac would be like, nobody touched my own toilet. And 1369 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,479 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's good. That should be a rule for 1370 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,200 Speaker 1: bring your own toilet paper anywhere you go. That's funny. Yeah, 1371 01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,240 Speaker 1: I have a buddy that brings his own wipes wherever 1372 01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:00,519 Speaker 1: he goes. It's not dumb. You know. I traveled with 1373 01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:02,120 Speaker 1: a pillow. Now I don't feel bad about it. I 1374 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:06,120 Speaker 1: did my first pillow travel, this time to London, Bill 1375 01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:09,360 Speaker 1: because I have fallen in love with a pillow. And 1376 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:11,920 Speaker 1: you can go to the fanciest hotel or the cheapest 1377 01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:16,240 Speaker 1: motel and and and have bad pillows and it sucks. Uh. 1378 01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,160 Speaker 1: You want to know another odd thing. And I did 1379 01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,400 Speaker 1: see this, I think because I looked at watched the 1380 01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:22,679 Speaker 1: episode last night and I didn't want to do a gabby, 1381 01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:25,720 Speaker 1: which is what it means. When Oh my God told Bill, 1382 01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:27,639 Speaker 1: I was like, Bill, you you told us I'll bring 1383 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:29,919 Speaker 1: a writer on and the writer didn't watch the episode. 1384 01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:34,280 Speaker 1: The I love Gabby, They're so funny. It wasn't great, 1385 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:36,760 Speaker 1: but we love to give her about it. The uh, 1386 01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,080 Speaker 1: you know, she doesn't don't worry. She doesn't listen. She 1387 01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,760 Speaker 1: doesn't know where she's talking. Yet, by the way, this 1388 01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:43,760 Speaker 1: is on a Friday. She will not listen no matter what. 1389 01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:47,040 Speaker 1: The other piece of trivia that I remembered about this 1390 01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:50,439 Speaker 1: particular episode was there's a joke about Elliott saying someone 1391 01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:54,559 Speaker 1: saw her orgasm face, and Um, I remember getting ship 1392 01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,960 Speaker 1: the writer's room because we were pretty good about continuity, 1393 01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:03,479 Speaker 1: but we condictular ourself with Elliott's sexual past. You thousand 1394 01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,840 Speaker 1: times you did scrubs. Wicky is very upset about it. 1395 01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:09,679 Speaker 1: I will readjo a direct quote from people on TV 1396 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,320 Speaker 1: without pity. We're not having it. Let me tell you something. 1397 01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,559 Speaker 1: Here we go, it says Um. When Ellien is talking 1398 01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:17,439 Speaker 1: to her patient, she talks about a time in high 1399 01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:21,040 Speaker 1: school when she had a quote orgasm face. Yet in 1400 01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,639 Speaker 1: the previous episode, she told Carla that she has never 1401 01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:27,400 Speaker 1: had an orgasm Elliott's romantic life is full of differing 1402 01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,280 Speaker 1: stories their contradictions. We also, I think she said once 1403 01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:33,320 Speaker 1: we said that she lost I think she lost her 1404 01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:39,800 Speaker 1: virginity in a crawl space. Um, but maybe we can 1405 01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:42,600 Speaker 1: rationalize it by saying Elliott is just just doesn't I 1406 01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 1: don't know how can you Rationalizy Did you say she 1407 01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:48,680 Speaker 1: doesn't remember?
