<v Speaker 4>about my current state of affairs. My anxiety has been

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 4>off the chart.

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>going through it.

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 4>I does feel like overwhelmed right now. I have some

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 4>existential moments where I'm like, what is life? Everyone's going

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 4>to die. We're all going to die for any of this.

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Listen, And the world is in flux right now. It's

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 2>in chaos. It's literally in chaos politically and everything. Of course,

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>we're all feeling anxious.

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 4>I feel so anxious, and when I do, I get

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.239
<v Speaker 4>scared about smoking weed.

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.039
<v Speaker 4>It could go one of two ways, right Like. It

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 4>could either make it so much better and I have

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 4>fun and I feel a release and I feel like

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 4>a perspective shift, which is so helpful, or it goes

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 4>down a dark, terrible turn where everything becomes even worse,

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 4>where it's like, holy fuck, we're gonna die. I'm gonna

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 4>die I'm not going to see my children, my parents

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 4>are gonna die. Everyone's sick, the whole world is sick.

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 2>And then you're high, you say you're like, oh god.

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Why is the point of any of this? Like why

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 4>are we even here? And then I start just being like.

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you spiral, spiral. I'm the same. I'm not that

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.159
<v Speaker 2>guy that could be anxious or feel down or whatever

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 2>and be like, yo, I want to get high. I

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 2>can't do that because for me, it accentuates the negative.

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I only like to smoke if I'm feeling really good,

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.159
<v Speaker 2>if I'm in a positive headspace, if I'm feeling you know,

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 2>up and happy. Like if I'm not, I can't smoke,

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 2>like I could drink. I could have a drink if

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm feeling down or whatever. And it sort of puts

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 2>me into a little zen, you know, chill place. But

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 2>weed is different.

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever done ayahuasca?

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I haven't. I'm intrigued by it, but I'm also like,

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm also a little bit scared because it's a long trip, right,

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 2>isn't it like a seven to eight hour trip or yeah.

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 4>And there's throw up in duty and all. For some people,

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 4>you have that angel and you like drink a tea

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 4>and then you puke. But like some people have such

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 4>out of body like I understand the meaning of life

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 4>and see like yeah, really what this is all about?

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 4>And they like go to a different plane. And some

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 4>people there's like some people who have like psychotic breaks

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 4>and they like never come back.

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, oh Jesus Christ, see that would be

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that would be me. That would so

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 2>be me.

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever done LSD or No?

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Hell no, same things, same thing. I'd be so scared

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 2>of that shit.

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.719

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 4>No, no way, it's too scary.

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.400

<v Speaker 2>Oh man, But the guest is so worth it. The

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>guest m not so worthy.

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 4>The guest can go down in history. Is one of

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 4>the all time, all favorite characters on Scandal.

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I did a deep dive researching our dude that's going

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to be on and Homeboy has done one hundred and

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 2>eighty films and television projects and still counting.

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 4>I have so many questions to ask him because I want't

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 4>know how we got the part, how he created the part. Yeah,

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 4>here's the most fucked up thing about his part is

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 4>that he was mimicking in a lot of ways someone

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 4>that would go from the host of The Apprentice to

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 4>the President of the fucking United States.

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm just like, how does he feel playing this character

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 4>that was poking fun, making games, all of this stuff

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 4>at this fucking joke of a man who ended up

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 4>that the joke was on us people.

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it sure was. Joke was on an egg, on

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 2>all our faces.

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 4>And on all our faces.

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 2>And interestingly enough, he also played Julius Caesar at the

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 2>public Theater, and the the theme or the.

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 4>The parallel that they were making was that Julius Caesar was.

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, correct, and people who lost their minds.

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, lost their mind. So Greg Henry, God,

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 4>damn it, we can't keep his name out of our mouths.

<v Speaker 2>And let it be known that Hollis Doyle was created

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 2>or was on the televisions of America before he who

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 2>shall remain nameless became president?

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 4>Can you believe that before he even put his name

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 4>in the bid?

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Years before?

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Hollis Doyle was a character from season one.

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 4>And that's what shit started to get really weird, and

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 4>people started to be like, does Shonda know more than

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.960

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 4>of the headlines, She's.

<v Speaker 2>Ripping shift from from back from the future, She's ripping

<v Speaker 3>The fuck?

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was so wild? Did he know he was Trumpian?

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 4>Did he just do that? On his own. Was he

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 4>just like a Republican oil douchebag?

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Like Greg Henry is in the house.

0:09:49.800 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Queen, you have not aged a day. I have

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 4>just watched an episode of you from twenty thirteen, literally

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 4>ten years ago.

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.440
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to believe that I was listening to you.

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.679
<v Speaker 5>I was listening to you guys with Shanda on the

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 5>first one, which was great.

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>The show was great. I learned a lot. So that's

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>where I first heard ten years.

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like, right, like, where does the time go?

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Man?

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, COVID really fucked it up in that,

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 4>like multiple years were eaten that were like what happened?

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 4>We don't know and we still don't know what's going on.

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 4>But Greg Henry, thank you for doing this. A b listeners,

<v Speaker 1>I like you a Cabby hats.

<v Speaker 5>That's my side hustle now yeah, yeah.

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 4>Tell us we need to know the origin story of

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 4>Hollis Doyle, Like, did you audition? How did you build

0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 4>this character? Had you ever been on Shondaland shows before?

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 4>Tell us the Hollis Oil creation story.

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, I'm kind of in the dark about

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 1>it in a way. I mean, the part of Hollis

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:10.599
<v Speaker 1>was just offered to me.

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 5>You know, I had done one lowly episode of Grey's

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 5>Anatomy a few years before.

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:20.439
<v Speaker 1>I played a doctor who was.

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 5>The mentor to Meredith Gray's mother, which, of course that

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 5>would have been Kate Burton eventually. Yes, but this was

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 5>way back in time this episode.

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Shanda knew who I was there, but I think.

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 4>Linda Lowe, the casting director, just loved you.

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, you know she did at that point in time.

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, she offered it to me. I think I

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.119
<v Speaker 1>remember her talking about.

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 5>A show I did a few years before called The

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 5>Riches on Fax, and I played this drug addicted, rich,

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 5>good old boy.

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>So maybe that's what put it together for her in

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>her mind.

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would say earlier, Greg, you have done quite

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 2>a bit of work. I mean I did a little

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 2>bit of research and you've done over one hundred and

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 2>eighty did you know this about yourself? One hundred and

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 2>eighty films and television projects. Yeah, so listen, the scandal

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 2>folks knew who you were obviously, And also let me

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 2>just say really quickly, you've worked on six Brian de

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Palmer films. You have been in Scarface, Body Double, Raising Kine,

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.440
<v Speaker 2>fem Fatale, The Black Dolly, The Casualties of War. You

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 2>are my fucking hero.

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we look into Germa Diez is a horror movie

<v Speaker 4>obsessor Giermo of one hundred and eighty credits that the

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.959
<v Speaker 4>incredible Greg Henry has done. How many horror films?

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Can we just talk about the one horror film that's

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorite films. It's called Slither. It has

0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the best special effects that I have ever seen in

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 2>a fucking movie.

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 4>Wait, what are they? Tell me what they are because

0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 4>I hate horror movies and I've never seen it.

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.679
<v Speaker 2>It's a small town that's taken over by an alien plague.

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 2>It's sort of a cross between Job of the Hut

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 2>and then the creature from a film called basket Case.

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you guys have ever seen basket Case?

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 4>Nope.

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 2>And who's the lead actress that's in the film. She's

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Elizabeth Elizabeth Banks, Yes, yes, yes, it's Elizabeth Banks.

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 4>My god, Greg Henry, you worked with everyone like so

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 4>when you get the part of Hollis Doyle did the

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 4>first time you try him on? Was it at a

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 4>table read or was it when you showed up on

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 4>set and you weren't invited to the table, Like, what

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 4>do you remember it?

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 5>No, it was it was the table roof and that's

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 5>where I met everybody, everybody all at once. As you know,

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 5>those table reads are epic. I mean, so it was

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 5>quite the beat and greed.

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.200
<v Speaker 4>Did you know he was going to have like a

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 4>southern accent? Did you know you were going to make

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 4>the Hollis Doyle we all know and love today? Or

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 4>was it? I can't remember.

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 5>I can't remember the exact discript that was in the script,

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.199
<v Speaker 5>but it was described that he was you.

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Know that he was an oil billionaire from Texas. Yes,

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:08.439
<v Speaker 1>So I had a couple of.

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 5>Good old boys in mind that I have known over

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 5>the years. So I kind of stitched them together a

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.079
<v Speaker 5>little bit and went in there and read the lines.

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 4>You're all over season one and you are all over

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 4>season two. I mean you are. You are at the

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 4>table with the goonies, You're you're at the table of Nosporot.

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 4>It's like you Olivia Verna, Verna, me Lily, yes, Cyrus,

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 4>and you're rigging the elections.

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 5>The illuminati, right, Yeah, the illuminati, that's what they were

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 5>called in the scripts now talk to us.

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 4>The Trump of it all? Was that like something that

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 4>came later or like, oh yeah, yeah, was it just

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 4>the coincidence?

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so.

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I remember you were asking Shanda about the

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 5>way things were sort of predicted within the show of

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 5>things coming true from you know, AI to it's like

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 5>she's writing the news. Yeah it was, but that came

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 5>way later, and that was like season five that that

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 5>stuff began, and I was gone for a whole couple

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 5>of seasons in.

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 3>There and.

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 5>Came back for that, and I didn't know when I

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 5>was coming back whether it was going to be just

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 5>that or not, although there was an election coming up,

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 5>but I didn't know how it was going to fit in.

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 5>And then then you saw him sort of slide into

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 5>into Trumpianism, you know, which was cool because you know,

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 5>let's face it, Hollis, it's pretty big asshle.

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:50.160

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:17.159
<v Speaker 5>was like because he pretty clear about how he plays

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 5>the game early on, you know, yeah.

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.160
<v Speaker 4>Sure, sure, sure, dirty, real dirty.

0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Dirty, yeah, real dirty. But but they always had this

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of gloss.

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 7>That they put on it with the humor that he had,

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:34.400
<v Speaker 7>you know, even the racist stuff was a little lighter,

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.920
<v Speaker 7>you know, But then then it got into finding out

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.159
<v Speaker 7>what was wrong with him as a candidate, and they

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.400
<v Speaker 7>found out that he was like, you know, really horrible.

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.480
<v Speaker 4>What did they find out? I don't remember what did

0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:47.959
<v Speaker 4>they find out?

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 5>He was hanging out with a bunch of you know,

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 5>former sort of KKK ers, racists, and I went.

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 1>On hunting parties with him, And.

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, all right, that's not great. That's not great.

0:18:58.800 --> 0:18:59.879
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back, guys.

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 4>Wait another question for you really quick, and then we

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.960
<v Speaker 4>want to dive into the episode. Do you have top

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 4>few memories of the show for when you were off

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 4>set or any like of your favorite memories when you

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 4>were on set?

0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, I don't.

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 5>I just have always such a general sense that I

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 5>was always welcomed there and so appreciated and loved by

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 5>kind of everybody.

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, you know, it was just a warm place

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to be.

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.200
<v Speaker 5>And when you come in as a you know, as

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 5>a guest star, even one that is supposed to recur,

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 5>that's not always the case, you know, and so you

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 5>really appreciate it when it does happen.

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.199
<v Speaker 2>I have a favorite memory of you, Greg, of you

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 2>being on Scandal, and it's you eating one thousand hush

0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 2>puppies in this episode and eat you eat with such relish,

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 2>such enthusiasm. You're a good eater. We talk about, you know,

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 2>actors that eat really well on camera, and you're one

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 2>of those. But I remember me and Katie have talked

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.040
<v Speaker 2>about this before, how in one of these scenes in

0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 2>this episode, you had to keep eating these fried hush puppies, Right.

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well, I get to feel in that Ron. It

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 1>was Ron Underwood Dragon. I think he was kind of

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 1>just messing with me after a.

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 5>While, you know what I mean, He's gotta like it

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 5>covered from like, well, let's get it from here, Let's

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 5>get it from down here, Let's get it, let's be

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:26.679
<v Speaker 5>going in.

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 1>You know it was, it just never stopped.

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.399
<v Speaker 4>Like Garmo said, I think it's such a testament to

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.359
<v Speaker 4>a good actor when they're just like really fucking eating

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.560
<v Speaker 4>and not just like pushing some salad around on a place.

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 5>Don't you hate that a scene and somebody's like moving

0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 5>it over here and over there. This scene has been

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 5>like fifteen minutes long and not a bite has been taking.

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh I hate it.

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.159
<v Speaker 4>It's ridic is okay? Today on Unpacking the Toolbox, we

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 4>are talking about episode two seventeen, titled Snake in the Garden,

0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 4>which aired on March twenty eight and twenty thirteen. It

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:01.440
<v Speaker 4>was written by rom La Mohamets directed by Ron Underwood.

0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.480
<v Speaker 4>It was guest starring Greg Henry as Hollis Doyle, Scott

0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 4>Folly as Jake Ballard, George Newburn as Charlie, Joe Morton

0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 4>is Mysterious Man, Kurt Fuller is great In Osbourne.

0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Sharp, Mila Diavar's Lauren Wellman Sonya Rockwell's Trixie, Melinda McGraw

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:17.440
<v Speaker 2>as Deborah Clarkson, and Andrea Bowen as may Bell Doyle.

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 4>And a little bit of the synopsis. Starting off, Let's

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:22.200
<v Speaker 4>see how Greg Henry does.

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.160
<v Speaker 5>Hollis Doyle, a most unlikely person to ask for Olivia's help,

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.640
<v Speaker 5>becomes top priority for the OPA team when his daughter

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:31.159
<v Speaker 5>gets held for ransom. David Rosen might be in the

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 5>middle of some trouble, and Olivia gets threatened by Graydon

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 5>Osborne as she continues to point fingers at him for

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:38.120
<v Speaker 5>being the mole.

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 4>Meanwhile, Huck continues to train Quinn on how to be

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:42.879
<v Speaker 4>a superspy, and the mystery of Jake Ballard thickens as

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:44.399
<v Speaker 4>he plays fast and loose with the truth in his

0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 4>relationships with both Fits and Olivia.

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 2>After Osborne's dismissal in Sudden Suicide, we learned that Jake

0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 2>and and a mystery man staged the whole thing. Damn,

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 2>I think Greg, Greg shout us out of the he

0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:57.199
<v Speaker 2>he did it, man did it?

0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:01.400
<v Speaker 4>Henry? You got that with your eyes closed.

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.919
<v Speaker 5>You just remember that Hollis had to speak quickly and

0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 5>most people with this accent don't, so it's kind.

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:18.360
<v Speaker 4>Of a real juxtaposition. So this episode, I freaking love it.

0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 4>And the winning scenes of this episode are all They're

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.840
<v Speaker 4>so much Greg Henry genius. To remind you, guys, like

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:31.240
<v Speaker 4>we already said, you show up at OPA. David is

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 4>at OPA. He's sleeping in the office because he's scared

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.760
<v Speaker 4>for his life. Somebody broke into his apartment and we've

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 4>got a new client. It's Hollis Doyle and his ex

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:40.320
<v Speaker 4>wife who she was.

0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Great, she was wonderful.

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:47.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah, And they come in hysterical while Hollis

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.199
<v Speaker 4>really isn't. But their daughter has been kidnapped for ransom,

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 4>and Hollis thinks is a stunt that his daughter's trying

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:53.840
<v Speaker 4>to pull for money because she's a drug addict and

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 4>a karthief and a total piece of shit.

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:55.879
<v Speaker 1>But.

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Hollis says, I want her back, but I will not

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:04.199
<v Speaker 4>pay a cent. Do you remember shooting any of these scenes?

0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Do I remember? Yeah? No, I I kind of remember them.

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:09.479
<v Speaker 1>The food was one thing, you know, I had to

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>do all that eating.

0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 5>But it was also sort of the first time for

0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:16.399
<v Speaker 5>Hollis to be playing at OPA. Yeah, So so that

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:18.679
<v Speaker 5>was fun to see how you guys worked on the

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:19.640
<v Speaker 5>inside there.

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 2>And it was always fun when when characters like your

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 2>character interacted with myself, with Huck and with Quinn and

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 2>with like Harrison, because we didn't usually bump into each

0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 2>other on the show, so it was always so much

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.960
<v Speaker 2>fun when one of those characters would come to Opia.

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:36.639
<v Speaker 2>And this whole this episode, most of your scenes were

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 2>in Opa. I think pretty much all of them, right, Yeah.

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Except for the the hospital.

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 5>I think I was there was like, yeah, ye scenes

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 5>in the hospital.

0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:48.640
<v Speaker 4>She was great too. She sends this ransom video where

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 4>she's like, this is the bank rounding. Yeah, you wire

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 4>the money, daddy, Yeah, like perfectly legible.

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want.

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:03.879
<v Speaker 4>What excites me so much Also about this episode is

0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:08.879
<v Speaker 4>we finally see Quinn like getting good, you know, she's

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:11.679
<v Speaker 4>like under hawk and he's like, let's look at the

0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:14.639
<v Speaker 4>ransom video. What do you hear? Close your eyes like

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 4>it's not just about the lighting of the video. And

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm like getting all super spy like and Quinn's getting

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:21.160
<v Speaker 4>really really good at it.

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, Yeah, that's that's fun to watch, you guys.

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Relationship was wonderful.

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 4>It was really building a lot in this episode. Oh

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 4>and Quinn gets to drive. I wrote, I was like,

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:33.880
<v Speaker 4>that's right me fake driving.

0:24:33.760 --> 0:24:36.399
<v Speaker 2>Right, which is never really driving right on your camera.

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 2>There there's like a truck pulling the car and you

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:40.840
<v Speaker 2>just have to act like you're driving.

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:41.159
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Scenes always so much fun because then you just get

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 2>to chill in the car, right.

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I love you just sit the whole time. You

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 4>just do little acting because you can't really do like big,

0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 4>big acting in the car because you're sort of stuck

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.880
<v Speaker 4>in a little window. But then, what was so crazy

0:24:55.920 --> 0:25:00.679
<v Speaker 4>about this storyline is that it's completely ripped from a

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:03.560
<v Speaker 4>real scandal. Jean Paul Getty do.

0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:07.879
<v Speaker 2>You know this watch I know that JP.

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:11.880
<v Speaker 4>Geeddy, who was the son of the Italian oil family

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 4>worth billions of dollars, was kidnapped when he was like

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:19.160
<v Speaker 4>sixteen or something and kidnapped and held in a basement

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 4>for ransom for his family. And his family wouldn't give

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:26.200
<v Speaker 4>any money, I think because they had other children and grandchildren,

0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 4>and they were like, if I give one dollar, it's

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.920
<v Speaker 4>just going to send the message that they can kidnap

0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 4>any of our kids and will always pay.

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 4>What they did was told him to drink a bunch

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 4>of wine or something and like, get fucked up, because

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:41.440
<v Speaker 4>we're about to cut off your fucking ear and we're

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:44.160
<v Speaker 4>gonna mail it to your family. What yep?

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:45.920
<v Speaker 2>And they did it. Did they do it?

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yep, Yeah, Yeah, he's only got one air.

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's only got one ear. They got his ear

0:25:51.080 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 4>and they sent it, and his family sent the money

0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:56.240
<v Speaker 4>after the ear was sent. But the guy, I'm pretty

0:25:56.240 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 4>sure had a pretty after they got the money. I think.

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 4>I think as the story goes, they just threw him

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 4>on the side of the street and someone found this

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:05.920
<v Speaker 4>sixteen year old kid like walking down the side of

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 4>the street with like a bleeding ear, having no idea

0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 4>where he was, and he was so messed up and

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.119
<v Speaker 4>traumatized and correct me if I'm wrong any of the

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:16.160
<v Speaker 4>producers listening. But in my mind. I think he actually

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 4>did deal and struggle his whole life with like major

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 4>drug addiction and things like that. At the end of time.

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I would have too, I mean, come on, yeah.

0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Right as you would.

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:31.440
<v Speaker 4>So like, this whole episode is completely I mean other

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:34.160
<v Speaker 4>than she to blow the low, you know.

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 2>To blow the blow it, blow it.

0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 4>She faked the ear cutting.

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:40.640
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I love that scene too, where you're like the thing,

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:43.240
<v Speaker 5>everything is like done, and no, Huck's back there with

0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 5>the ear. Yes, wait a minute, wait a minute, and

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:49.640
<v Speaker 5>he's sold it up and figuring out how it.

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Was cut and he's holding it up to Quinn's ear.

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. He figures out that the cut

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:58.920
<v Speaker 2>of the ear is sort of serrated. He realizes that,

0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:00.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, if another person and was doing it, they

0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.880
<v Speaker 2>would have had good leverage and cut the ear cleanly off.

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:06.240
<v Speaker 4>I love that scene too because it's like, oh, Quinn's

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:09.399
<v Speaker 4>a freak. Quinn's a freak. Like the other people in

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:11.359
<v Speaker 4>the scene are like, ew, that's where we be doing

0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:14.320
<v Speaker 4>and like gross, you can't have a fucking ear here,

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:16.880
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, oh no, put it next to my head.

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 4>I want to see what he's onto. But I love Hollis.

0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:24.439
<v Speaker 4>They gave Hollis Doyle. Like there's the scene between Hollis

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 4>and Quinn. Obviously Quinn hey Talis Doyle because of Cytron

0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:29.720
<v Speaker 4>blow up and he ruined her entire life and killed

0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:35.440
<v Speaker 4>Jesse Tyler. Yeah, but there's a beautiful scene where you're

0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 4>standing in Quinn's office and you're like, I just want

0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:41.520
<v Speaker 4>my baby back.

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, yeah, like I fucked up, Like I really

0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:45.399
<v Speaker 2>messed up.

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:52.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, crying of conscience and guilt, you know, blaming himself.

0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:54.399
<v Speaker 5>You know, he said he doesn't know what happened, but

0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 5>he but he does says say that he let her down.

0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:00.640
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, yeah, he had a real moment of conscious

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:01.720
<v Speaker 5>There was so.

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:04.960
<v Speaker 4>And my god, Greg Henry, I'm pretty sure you turned

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 4>straight to camera and got like one tier kind of

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 4>rolling down your face like a real pro who has

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and eighty credits on their IMDb can do well.

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 4>Like I was like, holy can act.

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 1>But it was.

0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:23.199
<v Speaker 7>It was so cool though too story wise that then

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.119
<v Speaker 7>you know, hawk over hears Quinn leaving a message for

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 7>her father kind of ties everything together.

0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 4>It really does, It really does. And then the other

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:34.640
<v Speaker 4>huge emotional scene for Hollis where we see Hollis being

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.120
<v Speaker 4>so different is towards more the end of the episode,

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 4>when after Hollis's I mean g takes the ear and

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 4>sort of measures it up, and Hollis like runs into

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:45.600
<v Speaker 4>the hospital and is like, my baby, we got the

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:52.040
<v Speaker 4>wired runners. She's back, We're good and comes in with flowers.

0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 2>And she's gone. Maybell is gone.

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 4>And then she's calling a cab because she thinks she

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:00.960
<v Speaker 4>has the money. We learned that she can up to herself,

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:03.360
<v Speaker 4>and it's all tied up with a bow and then

0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:04.640
<v Speaker 4>we realize, I.

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Guess who the cab driver is.

0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:13.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the theme of today's episode is cabbyes, y'allab that's it.

0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:17.400
<v Speaker 4>Hawk picks her up, takes her back to Olivia's office,

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 4>and my god, that scene kills me. It's awful. Oh

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 4>my god. Hollis is sitting across from her and is like,

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:30.760
<v Speaker 4>you have to choose, like right here, right now, family

0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:31.479
<v Speaker 4>or money?

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so heartbreaking it is.

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 4>Do you remember shooting that or not? Really?

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I do remember that scene. It was like kind

0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 1>of perfectly sparsely.

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 5>Written, you know, and it was maybele was really good too,

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, she was she.

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Was amazing, she was wonderful.

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:55.200
<v Speaker 4>But she was amazing. Her name is Andrea Bowen. My god,

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 4>she was perfect.

0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but she and Melinda it was like, and then

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:02.040
<v Speaker 5>Carrie in the scene, it was like, really well set up.

0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:03.840
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it took us a long time to

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:07.360
<v Speaker 5>really do, you know, it was all there on the page.

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I remember being in that scene and you could see it.

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's on, it's in the episode, and whenever

0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:16.320
<v Speaker 2>they cut to Huck, I'm like almost welling up, like

0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:18.960
<v Speaker 2>it was to watch you guys work. The woman that

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 2>played your wife. Her work was just so Melinda, so

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 2>emotionally heartbreaking, and I remember just feeling so emotional watching

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:27.760
<v Speaker 2>you guys. It was just so good. It was those

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:29.720
<v Speaker 2>moments you guys ever have those moments when you're acting

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and then you're like, oh shit, I'm watching the other actor.

0:30:33.440 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 2>The work is so good that I'm getting too caught

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 2>up in it instead of being, you know, in the

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:40.120
<v Speaker 2>skin of the character I'm playing. And that kept happening

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 2>in the scene, you know what I mean. Yeah, I

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:44.720
<v Speaker 2>was just watching and.

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:47.479
<v Speaker 4>Like god, that used happened to me on Scandal all

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 4>the time, where I'd be like watching Carrie or watching

0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:52.440
<v Speaker 4>Game and be like, oh shit, I'm supposed to talk.

0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's my line.

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, it's my line. Is there any other I'm

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 4>trying to think, gee, any other? Are scenes in this

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 4>episode that majorly stuck out? I mean the big eies

0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:06.280
<v Speaker 4>for me, like all the Hollis do oil biggies, it's

0:31:06.280 --> 0:31:08.720
<v Speaker 4>the deer, it's you emotional and Quinn's office, it's you

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:10.680
<v Speaker 4>with your daughter at the end, it's you eating hush

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 4>puppies from now until the end of time. Who But

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 4>then there's also a nice Olivia Jake, makey, makey, makey, audy, auty, sexy,

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 4>sexy time.

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 2>There is that, Yes, And there's also a scene between

0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Melly and Fitz where she's trying to convince him that

0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 2>the children, you know, probably won't come to visit and

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:30.800
<v Speaker 2>all of that, and he's hooked on the whiskey too,

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:33.720
<v Speaker 2>and she's like, you wreak of whiskey every time the

0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 2>children are around, and they can smell it on you.

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:39.040
<v Speaker 2>It's such a powerful scene. She's so wonderful in it,

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:39.800
<v Speaker 2>and so is Tony.

0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 5>I love the direction on the scene where you guys

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:44.840
<v Speaker 5>are like you're doing your spy thing and you find

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 5>the warehouse where Maybell was from you and you actually

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:50.880
<v Speaker 5>find the room and you're looking around the room and

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:53.120
<v Speaker 5>we're all discovering, well, there's the there's the curtains.

0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but where's Maybell. And we're like, yeah, where's Maybelle?

0:31:58.520 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>And it goes, well, she was here.

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 4>It cuts to the cuts to the Bloody the Bloody cot.

0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:04.600
<v Speaker 2>It was here.

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know. It just made me laugh when

0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw it.

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 4>It's funny. I do have distinct memories of the scene

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 4>where they've wired half the money and Olivia Pope says,

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 4>we'll wire you the other half with proof of life,

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, we'll tell you where, and Maybelle's like, no, no, no,

0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 4>I'll give you the address. And she gives us this

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 4>address of this abandoned sort of gas station. And I

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:29.200
<v Speaker 4>remember shooting the scene because it was me, G and

0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:33.280
<v Speaker 4>Carrie and we show up and Hawk is like the

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 4>guard dog and I'm there just because I'm a baby spy,

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.640
<v Speaker 4>and out jumps Maybell as if she did such a

0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 4>great job. I remember.

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 2>So she was pushed out.

0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, she was pretending like she had been pushed by

0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 4>her abductor.

0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:54.640
<v Speaker 2>There probably was a pa back there pushing her and she.

0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:57.040
<v Speaker 4>Jumps out and carries on the phone and she's like

0:32:57.080 --> 0:32:59.320
<v Speaker 4>I see her. I see her. It's confirmed, and Harrison

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:01.240
<v Speaker 4>is like done and sending the other half of the morning,

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 4>and Olivia is saying to her like it's okay, it's okay,

0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 4>it's okay. Come to us, come to us. You're safe. Now,

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:09.320
<v Speaker 4>you're safe, And Huck has these amazing lines underneath his

0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:11.040
<v Speaker 4>let me get him. He's like, let me ge him.

0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:14.120
<v Speaker 4>I could still get him. And Carrie's like like no, no,

0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 4>stand down, Hawk like no, and he's like, I got it.

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:18.760
<v Speaker 4>There's still time. I could fucking take him. And then

0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:21.200
<v Speaker 4>she runs into her arms. But I remember shooting that

0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:25.480
<v Speaker 4>scene and it's nighttime and we're pulling into this like

0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 4>abandoned gas station and this girl is abducted and we

0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 4>get her and we throw her into the car and

0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 4>we sort of like peel off and it's so high stakes,

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 4>and Olivia's screaming on the phone, and I do remember

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:39.160
<v Speaker 4>it at that point, being like, WHOA, I'm on a

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:42.680
<v Speaker 4>really fucking cool show, Like like when I auditioned, I

0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 4>thought I was on like a really fast talking like

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:49.160
<v Speaker 4>political women in power and like procedural case of the week,

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:51.120
<v Speaker 4>Like I had no idea I was going to be

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 4>on something that was like dark and edgy.

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 2>And action packed at times shitty.

0:33:56.760 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 4>And like there was gonna be abduct shit, you know,

0:33:58.840 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 4>like I just didn't know.

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:02.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what I remember. I remember they had soup

0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 2>that day. Do you remember that.

0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 4>Katie I loved when they had soup.

0:34:06.000 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 2>They had made like three different pots of soup. Of course,

0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:11.000
<v Speaker 2>it all goes back to.

0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:15.720
<v Speaker 4>The food Garamo. When I talked about food of this podcast,

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:18.160
<v Speaker 4>it I it, are you a snacker on set? Or

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:20.080
<v Speaker 4>are you and Joe Morton where he doesn't eat, like

0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:21.719
<v Speaker 4>he'd barely eats all day because he doesn't want to

0:34:21.719 --> 0:34:23.799
<v Speaker 4>waste energy to digestion, you have.

0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:25.440
<v Speaker 1>To use so much willpower.

0:34:25.480 --> 0:34:28.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, basically like swatting my own hand half the

0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 5>time and bring in those crispy creams.

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh shit, shit, Yeah.

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:42.839
<v Speaker 4>We will be back with more after the break. Some

0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:46.040
<v Speaker 4>fun facts about this episode is that guest star Melinda

0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 4>McGraw played the second wife of Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS.

0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:56.160
<v Speaker 4>But fun fact is that Darby Stanchfield actually played the

0:34:56.200 --> 0:35:01.080
<v Speaker 4>same character's first wife on NCIS. Wow, So that character

0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 4>has a thing for redheads. Oh yeah, I guess right.

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:04.520
<v Speaker 1>That must be.

0:35:04.640 --> 0:35:05.759
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like it.

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 4>And then both Greg Henry and Josh Malina had to

0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 4>eat a ton of food during the filming of this episode.

0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 4>Greg ate over fifty hamburgers and Josh ate twenty bowls

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:20.719
<v Speaker 4>of fruit loops, which he then threw out, not.

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:22.920
<v Speaker 2>The whole hamburger. You'd take a few bites and then

0:35:22.960 --> 0:35:24.840
<v Speaker 2>we'd cut and then they'd bring you another burger.

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and no, wait, question, Greg, are you on Twitter?

0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:28.799
<v Speaker 4>And I think you are?

0:35:29.160 --> 0:35:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I am, Yeah, I'm on Twitter.

0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Did you join Twitter during this time of the show

0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 4>when we were all on it?

0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:36.960
<v Speaker 5>You know, the thing that was so great, one of

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:39.640
<v Speaker 5>the many things so great about the Scandal family and

0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:42.759
<v Speaker 5>everything was because you would have these parties, you know,

0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 5>at Jeff and Linda's most often, and yeah, you'd watch

0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:49.239
<v Speaker 5>the show so that you could then tweet while you

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:52.360
<v Speaker 5>watched the show when it was actually being aired. And

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:55.879
<v Speaker 5>I just took part of the great food and camaraderie

0:35:55.960 --> 0:36:00.200
<v Speaker 5>of those parties and I was like, nah, Twitter, what

0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't know?

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Nahs, not for me.

0:36:03.719 --> 0:36:07.360
<v Speaker 5>And and truthfully, no one ever said you got to

0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:10.880
<v Speaker 5>do this. It wasn't until the final episode of season

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:13.919
<v Speaker 5>two that we did the live reading of.

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yes yeah when.

0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:20.360
<v Speaker 1>She says dad and the place goes nuts. It was crazy.

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 5>It wasn't until that episode that I got I got

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:26.880
<v Speaker 5>somebody to assist me to become a part of Twitter,

0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:29.600
<v Speaker 5>and that was the first time that I ever sort

0:36:29.640 --> 0:36:32.440
<v Speaker 5>of tweeted, and I did a couple of things that

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:36.719
<v Speaker 5>I thought were sort of holisy and never very comfortable

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:37.120
<v Speaker 5>with it.

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:38.759
<v Speaker 1>But I but I've tried.

0:36:39.239 --> 0:36:42.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, same same. They just took our blue checks away.

0:36:42.800 --> 0:36:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Did it actually happen, Yeah.

0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 2>It happened today. They all just disappeared. I was like, well.

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:50.759
<v Speaker 4>I haven't heard this yet.

0:36:50.880 --> 0:36:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, they just took everyone's blue checks away,

0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:54.560
<v Speaker 2>and you have to pay for it if you want it,

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:55.640
<v Speaker 2>if you want it back.

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:57.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's that's what they were threatening to do. And

0:36:58.040 --> 0:37:00.839
<v Speaker 5>I looked earlier this morning. They haven't done it yet.

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:04.240
<v Speaker 5>But the whole reason that's there is because and Adam

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:06.520
<v Speaker 5>helped me a lot with this. Actually, I went on

0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:09.799
<v Speaker 5>the Twitter and all of a sudden there was somebody claiming.

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:09.840
<v Speaker 1>To be me.

0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:12.640
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, oh no, all of a sudden, there reies

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:18.280
<v Speaker 5>another one. They just kept happening, and so we got ABC.

0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:21.320
<v Speaker 5>Adam sort of called up. I think it was Christina

0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:22.600
<v Speaker 5>Fleischer or something.

0:37:22.400 --> 0:37:25.839
<v Speaker 4>Like that, Adam Shapiro, Yeah, Chrisina, to get it, get

0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:27.480
<v Speaker 4>it all rectified, to get.

0:37:27.360 --> 0:37:29.920
<v Speaker 7>It all rectified, and to have me verified as as

0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 7>a person, as an actor and as a Twitter being.

0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah wow, now we're common folk again.

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 4>Well that brings us to.

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:47.400
<v Speaker 2>The time tweet at the time you're ready to listen?

0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that song keeps you boving.

0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:55.279
<v Speaker 4>And Greg Henry, you're a big singer, songwriter, musician, huge.

0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:56.359
<v Speaker 1>I do that.

0:37:56.680 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 4>We need a little tweets of the time jingle, that's

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:00.440
<v Speaker 4>what we need.

0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know you seem to have that covering.

0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:07.319
<v Speaker 4>But we read some because Twitter was such a huge

0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:10.520
<v Speaker 4>part of our world that Greg Henry joined Twitter himself.

0:38:10.840 --> 0:38:11.399
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:38:12.320 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 4>So we're going to read a few of these in

0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:15.920
<v Speaker 4>our closing.

0:38:15.680 --> 0:38:18.960

<v Speaker 4>mysterious man. He comes in at the end, and Jake

0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:47.120
<v Speaker 4>has sort of framed Osborne to be the mole and

0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:49.480
