Speaker 1: One of the things I've kind of gotten into a
Speaker 1: little bit lately is the origin of phrases, Oh have
Speaker 1: you guys ever?
Speaker 2: You know, it's like, where did this come from?
Speaker 3: So many of them come from Shakespeare and we don't
Speaker 3: even know it.
Speaker 1: A ton of them come from Shakespeare, which is great.
Speaker 1: But I heard one the other day that kind of
Speaker 1: led me down the rabbit hole to then. And I
Speaker 1: can only remember two or three right now, but the
Speaker 1: one I heard was the so back in the eighteen hundred,
Speaker 1: the early eighteen hundreds, very a story started to go
Speaker 1: around with the aristocracy and the rich people in the
Speaker 1: world that people, when they died didn't actually die and
Speaker 1: were being buried alive. So rich people, doing what rich
Speaker 1: people did, tried to buy their way out of that
Speaker 1: ever happening. And what they did for that was they
Speaker 1: started to build above ground tombs where their bodies would
Speaker 1: stay until people knew they were dead, and then they'd
Speaker 1: be buried. The problem was the bodies would start to
Speaker 1: decay and smell, which is where the phrase stinking rich
Speaker 1: comes from.
Speaker 2: So I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 1: The other one also about so carnivals back in the
Speaker 1: seventeen and eighteen hundreds. You would win things based on
Speaker 1: your age and how much money you spent, so the
Speaker 1: younger you are, the stuff was at the bottom and
Speaker 1: you could play for you a penny or whatever it was,
Speaker 1: and you could win the little things where the most
Speaker 1: expensive thing at the top was always the same and
Speaker 1: it was for adults, and what you would win was
Speaker 1: a cigar, so if you didn't win, you were close,
Speaker 1: but no cigar.
Speaker 2: So they are all these kind of.
Speaker 4: When you knew came from somewhere, right. It was like,
Speaker 4: because you're like, why would you say that? What does
Speaker 4: this even mean unless you're winning a cigar? But stinking rich.
Speaker 4: I always thought stinking was just like a modifier, like
Speaker 4: an intensive fire, you know, like a stinking cool that's.
Speaker 1: Apparently where And again you wonder how many of these
Speaker 1: these are all Internet things, so you wonder how many
Speaker 1: of these things are true, But.
Speaker 2: It's the origins are are so interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody knows where Matt as a Hatter comes
Speaker 1: from now and all that kind.
Speaker 4: Of making up my own.
Speaker 1: Take some So what would pick a phrase, what would
Speaker 1: be the history of what's the pod meets world exact?
Speaker 5: Give me a phrase my favorite phrase because I remember
Speaker 5: the first time I heard it, being like, I'm sorry,
Speaker 5: what six of one have to another?
Speaker 3: That one?
Speaker 5: The first time I heard that as a kid, I
Speaker 5: was like, that makes no sense and my mom my
Speaker 5: mom threw it out very casually.
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't matter. It's six of one.
Speaker 5: I think that's how she shortened it too. It doesn't matter,
Speaker 5: that's six of one. It's like, wait, what it's what?
Speaker 3: Well, six of.
Speaker 5: One, half dozen of another. It's the same thing. It's
Speaker 5: some of one thing or half a dozen, it's the
Speaker 5: same thing. And I remember thinking I'm going to use
Speaker 5: that forever, and still to this day.
Speaker 3: Anytime I use it, I think I love that.
Speaker 6: I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that so much. Oh, we have to be
Speaker 1: write there. We have to come up with a with
Speaker 1: a great one. Well, I mean, do you know where
Speaker 1: you know we're cutting the red tape? You know where
Speaker 1: that comes from?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you've talked about that on this you
Speaker 4: did you mentioned that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the Civil War soldiers.
Speaker 1: They had to actually go to Washington to get their
Speaker 1: benefits and they're all wrapped with red tape.
Speaker 2: So there's the we'll have to come up with a
Speaker 2: good one. What's good what's a random phrase that you
Speaker 2: can just make up?
Speaker 3: What if we have.
Speaker 5: To come up with something that implies, like something pertaining
Speaker 5: to our recaps and the episodes and like a drop
Speaker 5: shock of a season.
Speaker 4: Grovers did come up with that one. You're right, that
Speaker 4: is Grovers not not.
Speaker 2: That's a good not. Also sounds like the town you
Speaker 2: live in and like goose bumps.
Speaker 4: You know, it's like, God, Grovers, someday I'm going to
Speaker 4: write something that's not.
Speaker 5: Well, it'll be a real if you know, you know,
Speaker 5: moment concludes that then something we can all watch.
Speaker 2: What about underhanded?
Speaker 1: But if we just make up something for underhand, because
Speaker 1: you know it's got to already be something, but we
Speaker 1: just make up something totally different?
Speaker 3: Yeah, a different history?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the history to under a distory?
Speaker 4: A distory.
Speaker 5: History that's a vague history that sounds a little creepy, like.
Speaker 2: I gave her a fist.
Speaker 6: Google.
Speaker 4: It's gonna.
Speaker 2: Thing and there's gonna be badness that's gonna happen. So
Speaker 2: all right, we'll come up with something. Grover's a good one.
Speaker 3: Though Grover's not is a good one.
Speaker 5: I still think there's something about there's something we could
Speaker 5: do if I keep because I keep thinking about my
Speaker 5: six and one half dozen, have another like the drop
Speaker 5: shock of a you know.
Speaker 2: The Yeah, we've had to have said something.
Speaker 5: The high jinks versus the something. But Grover's Not's probably
Speaker 5: the closest we have.
Speaker 1: Wait, what about what about the shady melon? A shady melon?
Speaker 1: Because like, where did shady melon come from?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: That could be something.
Speaker 3: Do you know that person's a shady melon?
Speaker 2: It's like, where did that come from? Well, it's back.
Speaker 1: So in the seventeen hundreds, the aristocracy would heard that
Speaker 1: you could only buy melons that weren't fully raised in
Speaker 1: the sun. Right, they had more shaite, So they would
Speaker 1: they would buy these parasols and they would sit outside and.
Speaker 2: They would have shammellon covering the melons. Shady melon.
Speaker 4: I like it. That's perfect.
Speaker 3: Welcome to Pond Meets World.
Speaker 2: I'm Danielle Vishel, I'm right or Strong, and I'm Wilfordell.
Speaker 5: We continue our little halftime break of season six with
Speaker 5: be kind Rewind episodes, and today we've asked one of
Speaker 5: our most beloved cast members to return to Podmeats World
Speaker 5: to revisit an episode that left us with a lot
Speaker 5: of questions, most of them she could answer.
Speaker 3: Season six is her Answer.
Speaker 5: Part two was a rare return of focus to her character,
Speaker 5: and we wondered not only about the backstory of how
Speaker 5: it all went down, but how she felt about the script,
Speaker 5: more specifically a blow up on Tapanga, her son's future
Speaker 5: wife and her future daughter in law that felt both
Speaker 5: confusing and maybe disliked by the actress. But that was
Speaker 5: all just conjecture on our part. So we've invited her
Speaker 5: back on the show to get into it. Rewatch the
Speaker 5: episode on her own and let us know how she
Speaker 5: feels almost thirty years later. So this week we are
Speaker 5: thrilled to be reunited with a woman who's probably never
Speaker 5: actually wanted to panng It to go to Yale. It's
Speaker 5: Amy Matthews herself.
Speaker 3: Betsy Randall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hi, how are you are you?
Speaker 6: I just wanted you to see your picture in the
Speaker 6: background if I can get it.
Speaker 3: Oh, there it is.
Speaker 2: I've got that same one hung up on my wall.
Speaker 6: Does Yeah, everything I tape an audition. I'm looking at that.
Speaker 6: You need to be big.
Speaker 5: Please get me back on a show like that, young
Speaker 5: like that anyway, Hi, Betsy, thank you so much for
Speaker 5: coming back. We have proven that we would make any excuse.
Speaker 3: To see you again.
Speaker 5: So I'm so glad you watched a big episode for
Speaker 5: US season six, episode two, Her Answer, Part two, which
Speaker 5: was a continuation from the premiere show of the season.
Speaker 5: A little refresher here for our listeners. It originally aired
Speaker 5: on October second, nineteen ninety eight, and was directed by
Speaker 5: David Kendall and written by Matt Nelson. So, before we
Speaker 5: get too deep, I wanted to tap into your mind
Speaker 5: a little bit back in nineteen ninety eight, what were
Speaker 5: your off camera feelings about Corey and Topanga getting married
Speaker 5: at such a young age.
Speaker 6: Oh? I thought it was totally too early.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Thought they Well my off camera thing, well, yes, I
Speaker 6: let you know on camera too. I thought the scene
Speaker 6: was right. I thought the whole episode was wonderful. So
Speaker 6: I think we were all really good. Yeah, but I
Speaker 6: really just didn't approve of you guys jumping into marriage
Speaker 6: when you hadn't even gone to college yet.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 5: Do you remember, because it's mentioned in the episodes that
Speaker 5: that's apparently what Amy and Alan did.
Speaker 6: I was in denial about that, Okay, okay, I actually
Speaker 6: didn't know.
Speaker 3: That Okay, Yeah, it's discussed.
Speaker 5: You know that.
Speaker 6: Did they tell us that?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's what it was doing season the episode Long Walk
Speaker 4: to Pittsburgh, I think is when they talked about it,
Speaker 4: because that was another one where Amy was sort of
Speaker 4: against against Tipanga and Torri and then sort of won
Speaker 4: over by Alan pointing out that they had been married
Speaker 4: when they were eighteen.
Speaker 3: Right or eighteen or nineteen where they started.
Speaker 4: Dating at least. Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 6: See that one.
Speaker 5: I just.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to go back and see what was
Speaker 6: I thinking. Well, I'm not sure how to answer that.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's okay.
Speaker 5: Do you guys do you remember there being a lot
Speaker 5: of discussion amongst the adults off camp? Okay, yeah, tell
Speaker 5: me about some of those conversations.
Speaker 6: Well, I don't remember who was talking about what. It's
Speaker 6: just it was an issue, and I think Russey sort
Speaker 6: of kept his mouth shut about the whole thing. I
Speaker 6: was much more vocal about just you know, if it
Speaker 6: was me, if my kids were doing this, I I'd
Speaker 6: have to speak up. But didn't mean that I didn't
Speaker 6: love my future sister, daughter in law or anything like that.
Speaker 6: You know, I adore you, and I adore you as
Speaker 6: an actress and the mom. So I did love you,
Speaker 6: even though I wish you'd stayed in at at Where was.
Speaker 5: Yale gone to Yale?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 6: I don't remember too many people having other issues. I
Speaker 6: think it was just just you. They were questioning my
Speaker 6: judgment about it. I think I felt, at least maybe
Speaker 6: maybe Michael.
Speaker 5: Was Yeah, because Michael was pretty dead, said that this
Speaker 5: was what was going to happen, like Corey and Tapanga
Speaker 5: were going to get married.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I recall Michael.
Speaker 1: I can't remember anyone other than Michael pro them getting married.
Speaker 4: Is that true?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I just remember like people like you know, Betsy,
Speaker 1: all of us kind of like, wow, they just got
Speaker 1: out of high school there. I mean, the the idea
Speaker 1: at the time was more they're really young to be
Speaker 1: getting married. And I can't recall again Michael always he
Speaker 1: he he loves love, and that's that's not a bad thing.
Speaker 1: He's got a you know, a very very fantasy idea
Speaker 1: about young love and what it can lead to and
Speaker 1: true love and the universe putting you together.
Speaker 2: And hey, that's a wonderful way to look at it.
Speaker 1: I can't recall any real other arguments on his side.
Speaker 1: Most of the things I remember was us all of
Speaker 1: us kind of going like, wow, this name's really young
Speaker 1: for these characters.
Speaker 4: The other writers were at were.
Speaker 2: They That's what I'm saying, I don't remember was wondering.
Speaker 6: I was wondering about Jeff in particular, Jeff Sherman or Wilson.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't remember them saying one way or
Speaker 4: the other. Actually, yeah, well.
Speaker 6: I think they were just intrigued that there was a conflict,
Speaker 6: and it probably fueled the scene, you know, because I
Speaker 6: really upset.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 6: Worked and I really cried and it worked, So it
Speaker 6: was just.
Speaker 1: It.
Speaker 6: I as an actor, I used my life experience, of course,
Speaker 6: as we all do, and this was one of them.
Speaker 6: This was one of them.
Speaker 5: So interesting that you say that, because we talked about
Speaker 5: it in the episode and I said, I don't remember
Speaker 5: what it was, but I remember Betsy was really upset.
Speaker 3: Betsy was unhappy.
Speaker 5: And I was, in my mind thirty years later, I
Speaker 5: was like, was she unhappy with the writing? Was she
Speaker 5: unhappy with her? Was there something that they wanted that
Speaker 5: was something was at odds? And it's so interesting that
Speaker 5: what I'm remember was you were actually very much at
Speaker 5: odds with the storyline in such a real way. They
Speaker 5: wrote that for you as the character. It wasn't just
Speaker 5: Amy Matthews being opposed to it. We're watching Betsy Randall
Speaker 5: be opposed to it.
Speaker 6: I am Amy Matthews exactly.
Speaker 3: They're the same one and the same yeah for me.
Speaker 6: But I have to tell you that there was something
Speaker 6: really profound. I was going to tell you I really
Speaker 6: did disapprove of Michael and his pushing that. I disapproved
Speaker 6: that there were pushing that to be the right thing
Speaker 6: to do. And I thought, surely they're just doing that
Speaker 6: to make it interesting so that when you guys come
Speaker 6: around the next episode, which is wonderful, and I come
Speaker 6: around going love of you no matter what, and you know,
Speaker 6: of course I have to settle down. But you have
Speaker 6: to remember too that I was the first person besides
Speaker 6: Bill Daniels, who was a parent, had experienced being a
Speaker 6: parent my kids. I mean, I was. I was pregnant
Speaker 6: at twenty two. Yeah, so I was that, and I
Speaker 6: had an experience of wishing I'd waited longer for my
Speaker 6: life in certain ways. I mean, I don't regret my kids,
Speaker 6: but but what what the heck was I think my mom's.
Speaker 3: Said the exact same thing.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: At the time, you know, it was just like, hey,
Speaker 6: you know, just going to get pregnant, you know. So
Speaker 6: it's pretty stupid as what. But I always knew that
Speaker 6: I wanted to be a mother, and I think that
Speaker 6: that kind of saved me because I knew John was
Speaker 6: the guy no matter what, through you know, hell or
Speaker 6: high water. We've been married for fifty three years. Sheeez,
Speaker 6: So I knew that. But I also just we were
Speaker 6: in a strange time when I my life. But I
Speaker 6: just did believe that that the guys or Michael anyway,
Speaker 6: just didn't know what the hell he was talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, now did you? You said you obviously had
Speaker 1: had a problem with the way that this storyline was going.
Speaker 1: Do you remember ever going and talking to any of
Speaker 1: the writers about it or voicing that kind of point
Speaker 1: of view that hey, I don't think this is we
Speaker 1: should be bracketing this as this is the right decision
Speaker 1: for young kids to be making.
Speaker 6: Well, I think I talked too rusty about it. We
Speaker 6: certainly talked about everything together. So that was one main
Speaker 6: person I didn't feel that. I felt I was in
Speaker 6: the minority, and I didn't have a whole lot to
Speaker 6: say about. And I don't know. I could have taken
Speaker 6: Michael aside and said, what are you doing here? But
Speaker 6: I knew that this made this interesting. I knew it
Speaker 6: was entertaining. I thought it was fun, and it certainly
Speaker 6: gave me emotional life to make it a beautiful scene.
Speaker 6: So I can't complain about that, you know, and the
Speaker 6: fact that maybe my objection as Betsy and Amy encouraged
Speaker 6: them to continue and write the next episode, that made
Speaker 6: it more. We get it too, you know that both
Speaker 6: you and you know and Ben kind of come around
Speaker 6: and say we are going to wait. Yeah, And I thought, well,
Speaker 6: thank god. But I had to give you the choice
Speaker 6: to do that, and I thought that was right. I
Speaker 6: think that was right. I was angry at Rusty's character,
Speaker 6: angry at Michael for jumping on the other side so
Speaker 6: fast and sort of almost patronizing me, saying you're you know,
Speaker 6: you don't I know, he kept finishing my sentence. It
Speaker 6: used to drive me crazy. I'd say, you know, she's
Speaker 6: saiding she's making the food, or she's doing this, or
Speaker 6: she's doing that, and you'd go, and you did that,
Speaker 6: and you did that and I just wanted to say,
Speaker 6: shut up not being so patronizing. Yeah, I'm giving you
Speaker 6: the honest. It was something that was like, do you
Speaker 6: think that's right?
Speaker 1: To me?
Speaker 6: I kind of looked at Rusty, like, do you know
Speaker 6: what you're doing there?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we talked about that, did you What did you
Speaker 5: think about that kind of that jealousy angle that they
Speaker 5: tried to put in there between Tapanga and Amy.
Speaker 6: You know, I had to look at myself and still
Speaker 6: to this day when I watched it again, because I
Speaker 6: was very moved by it, and of course I'll cry
Speaker 6: it anything. Yes, I thought we did such a good job. Yes,
Speaker 6: but I I didn't really think that. Yeah, I, like
Speaker 6: I said, I had these kids already, and I certainly
Speaker 6: have run into conflicts with my kids, especially my son,
Speaker 6: you know, through through everything and any anything that would
Speaker 6: pissed him, piss him off or whatever, you know. I mean,
Speaker 6: it was just we would press each other's buttons. So
Speaker 6: I knew how that was for me to be insecure, yeah,
Speaker 6: and not knowing how to stand up and you know,
Speaker 6: speak my mind when he got married. So he got married.
Speaker 6: They weren't young, and we were thrilled that they were
Speaker 6: getting married. But I was the mother of the groom
Speaker 6: and that wedding was in Sweden, and I was just
Speaker 6: sort of felt like small potatoes, you know. It was
Speaker 6: this kind of weird thing. So I kind of know
Speaker 6: what that feels like to be jealous. But I wasn't
Speaker 6: jealous of Josephine. It was really more just questioning how
Speaker 6: Aaron and I were going to be in this new thing,
Speaker 6: and I had opinions. I mean, just like Amy was not,
Speaker 6: that was me. That was definitely me saying you don't
Speaker 6: know what you're talking about. I think you're out of line.
Speaker 6: Why didn't you go to Yale? I mean I can
Speaker 6: see saying that, yeah, because I knew something wasn't right.
Speaker 6: But it wasn't my place to speak up when the
Speaker 6: wedding was happening for in real life, but it was
Speaker 6: my place to speak up in Wooman's world.
Speaker 4: There's an interesting moment watching this the second time in
Speaker 4: a row, when you when you and Rusty to have
Speaker 4: your scene, which is an amazing scene, and you make
Speaker 4: this incredible turn mid line where you say you know
Speaker 4: they're not ready, They're not ready, I'm not ready. I
Speaker 4: felt like that was the end of the scene. It's
Speaker 4: a beautiful moment. It's so well played. Rusty's reaction is perfect.
Speaker 4: That should, I think should have been the end of
Speaker 4: the scene, because then you go on to explicate why
Speaker 4: you're not ready, and I feel like all of those
Speaker 4: additional lines I could have done without. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 4: the point is made, you're not ready, and we see that.
Speaker 4: It's it's an emotional thing. It's not a logic thing.
Speaker 4: It's not intellectualized. It's just Amy's not ready. She does
Speaker 4: have reasons and it's really not her place. So she's
Speaker 4: you know, and that's fine, that's enough of a story.
Speaker 4: But then it goes on to be sort of spelled
Speaker 4: out in this way that just didn't feel like the
Speaker 4: way people actually think about these things.
Speaker 6: I already agree, I felt the same way. I thought
Speaker 6: the same thought. Why couldn't you just left it there there?
Speaker 6: Because for me to say, oh, I'm not I mean,
Speaker 6: I'm not ready, that was the real thing. Yeah, And
Speaker 6: to say I'm jealous of her felt like so stupid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we did not. I did not enjoy it.
Speaker 6: Truncated the scene by doing that, they lost the gold.
Speaker 6: They got away with it because they could do it, you.
Speaker 1: Know, so maybe not jealousy, but as the only one
Speaker 1: we'd be able to speak to about this, who is
Speaker 1: a mom who's had a son that was married. Is
Speaker 1: there any part of you that feels like you're being
Speaker 1: replaced or is that something that is so it's just there.
Speaker 1: It's so alien to the conversation where it's like, no,
Speaker 1: that's that, it has nothing to do with it.
Speaker 6: No, but he's older. He was older, he was in
Speaker 6: his thirties, and so he'd established and we'd established a
Speaker 6: relationship that was pretty strong. Whether we pissed each other
Speaker 6: off or not is in the U. But we know
Speaker 6: each other very well and we appreciate who the other
Speaker 6: one is. And I was thrilled that he was marrying Josephine.
Speaker 6: I was afraid he was going to self destruct in
Speaker 6: some other ways. So I was very happy that he
Speaker 6: found this beautiful, intelligent woman. And if she and she
Speaker 6: lived here, she lived in Santa Monica, so it wasn't
Speaker 6: like she was in Sweden. That was the surprise. That
Speaker 6: just that killed me, and that that killed me and
Speaker 6: now I hate them. They come home, were pitching, and
Speaker 6: they come home for Christmas and sort of helps with
Speaker 6: all that.
Speaker 4: Have you been to Sweden.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: We had to do a lot of walking because they
Speaker 6: didn't have a car, so we're walking in the snow
Speaker 6: a lot. And now that I have back issues, just go, hmm, yeah,
Speaker 6: you're all going the winter anymore. Think I'll go on
Speaker 6: the summer. They said to come in the summer, and
Speaker 6: we're going to try to do it, but I can't
Speaker 6: do it this summer.
Speaker 4: So I'm going to go back to the end of
Speaker 4: season five because there's a pretty huge evolution, which is
Speaker 4: that Amy gets pregnant. Do you remember the conversations behind that.
Speaker 4: Were you part of the decision? Did you like that?
Speaker 4: I just want to hear all of your thoughts around that.
Speaker 6: You're gonna have to go back and watch it. But
Speaker 6: I remember going, really, okay, okay, you know that.
Speaker 4: Also, you don't think you knew before table read.
Speaker 6: I think I knew there was talk of it. I
Speaker 6: think there was some sort of a hint. I don't
Speaker 6: remember being shocked. I remember I thought it would be fun,
Speaker 6: yeah right, yeah, And I thought, here I am this
Speaker 6: older woman having another baby, and Amy was not as
Speaker 6: old as I was, going, Wow, this would really be
Speaker 6: wouldn't you know it? Was Colledge and I have a baby.
Speaker 6: But anyway, yeah, I mean we just had fun with it,
Speaker 6: and Resty got into a car wreck and his bicycle
Speaker 6: accident by we were shooting and he was like looking
Speaker 6: like a wreck And anyway.
Speaker 3: Did that happen during season five?
Speaker 6: I think so, Well, it was when we were doing
Speaker 6: the baby thing. The funniest we.
Speaker 4: Haven't gotten there yet, in case we're yeah, we haven't
Speaker 4: gotten I think it's seasons obviously, the season six, Well.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's after the baby was born.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, this is have you seen the baby be born?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, not yet.
Speaker 1: No, you're still Amy is still thirty eight months pregnant
Speaker 1: or whatever. It is like she's like she's been pregnant
Speaker 1: for yeah, a while now. And then they kind of
Speaker 1: cut away from it, and then just occasionally a line
Speaker 1: would come in where it's like, well, the new baby,
Speaker 1: and you kind of go.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, oh right, Amy's pregnant.
Speaker 1: And now we're to the point where I think it's
Speaker 1: going to become part very much more of the story.
Speaker 6: I think they started to join you in watching it
Speaker 6: because because I we did have a fun time with it,
Speaker 6: and the biggest funniest thing was that when the baby
Speaker 6: was born. I don't know if you remember. I don't
Speaker 6: want to ruin it for you, but it looked like
Speaker 6: a little old business man. You know. I'm like, what,
Speaker 6: that's newborn? Big?
Speaker 3: You know it was a big newborn.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a big newborn.
Speaker 5: Anyway, Funny was it annoying to wear the fake baby bump?
Speaker 6: I don't even remember wearing it really? You know what
Speaker 6: I remember wearing my little white neglige.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, hotel, that's right.
Speaker 6: Ran into somebody and I thought I look really good,
Speaker 6: and you, wow, look at that legs.
Speaker 3: Do you remember the wardrobe fittings for that?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 5: How involved were you in picking what you were going
Speaker 5: to wear? I mean that's obviously such a personal thing,
Speaker 5: like it's you, your body, you have to be on
Speaker 5: camera and it.
Speaker 3: How involved were you in picking the negligee?
Speaker 6: Oh I loved it? Yeah I didn't. I didn't pick
Speaker 6: it myself. They just brought it and said what do
Speaker 6: you think? And I go, I think I look great.
Speaker 6: Yeah that's sure.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 5: So then the big scene where you asked Tapega why
Speaker 5: she couldn't have just gone to Yale during your toast?
Speaker 5: What do you remember about shooting that particular scene.
Speaker 7: I looked at you and I went, wow, that's pretty harsh,
Speaker 7: that's pretty strong.
Speaker 6: But I was doing that. I believed it in the character.
Speaker 6: But I looked at you and went, I hope I
Speaker 6: haven't heard her.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When we were watching back the first time, Ryder noticed
Speaker 1: something and then kind of posed a question we wanted
Speaker 1: to ask you about, which is was your performance in
Speaker 1: that scene in any way affected by watching me kind
Speaker 1: of do a caricature of it later in the episode.
Speaker 1: So I'm you know, I'm during the run throughs and everything,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of almost making fun of yourself. And did
Speaker 1: that affect your performance in your scene at all? What
Speaker 1: I was doing later.
Speaker 6: No, because I wasn't jumping the jumping ahead. I was
Speaker 6: just in the moment as an actor. I wasn't thinking
Speaker 6: about what you were going to say. When you did,
Speaker 6: I went, oh, man, okay, all right, this is what
Speaker 6: my family thinks about me. Okay, you know I really
Speaker 6: it kind of just drove it home for me.
Speaker 2: More that I was right, right, right.
Speaker 6: And I thought he even knows I'm right. But you
Speaker 6: knew I was right about Rusty, knew I was right,
Speaker 6: and nobody in Bill Daniels I was so pissed off.
Speaker 6: Everybody was in denial about the reality of the situation
Speaker 6: that I really feel passionately about that.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 3: Everyone was like, well, if that's what.
Speaker 5: They want to do, Oh my god, You're like, come
Speaker 5: hell or high water. At the very least, I have
Speaker 5: to let all of you know I think this is
Speaker 5: a terrible decision.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and something's wrong with you with all of you.
Speaker 6: Will Will you saved me. You saved me because you're
Speaker 6: you were in your silly character's way. Your nature was
Speaker 6: to make a joke, and I don't even know if
Speaker 6: you were meaning to make a joke. It was like
Speaker 6: you were just trying to work it out yourself in
Speaker 6: a way. That's what I justify. It did offend me.
Speaker 2: Oh that's good, Okay, I'm glad.
Speaker 6: I did not offend you. Never did. I adore you
Speaker 6: from them. Now.
Speaker 1: What I was trying to remember, other than Amy, is
Speaker 1: Angela the only other person in the entire cast that
Speaker 1: that is on the other side of the argument. It's
Speaker 1: really just Angela and Amy that say they're too young,
Speaker 1: they shouldn't do this, right. I mean, everybody else essentially
Speaker 1: says they should get married.
Speaker 5: Right, I mean one of the biggest points is aren't
Speaker 5: they already married?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I forgot about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's the only other one who voices they're too young?
Speaker 1: What is everybody thinking? And everybody else is like, no,
Speaker 1: they should get married. Yeah, yes you have Angela oh Man.
Speaker 6: I always liked her.
Speaker 5: How would you and Rusty prep for dramatic scenes? Did
Speaker 5: you guys do anything differently when you had big episodes
Speaker 5: like this? Nope, But there wasn't ever any specific prep
Speaker 5: you guys did you just had your normal rehearsal.
Speaker 6: No. Because when we were when we go through the
Speaker 6: script and rehearse it together, we would discover what worked
Speaker 6: and what didn't, and so we brought up pretty much
Speaker 6: everything that we had. You know, our training is really
Speaker 6: working off the other person. That is really the gold,
Speaker 6: and I think that's why we both kept the part.
Speaker 6: You know, we were a good match because we both
Speaker 6: had that Meisner background of what's coming at you, this
Speaker 6: is what you got to work off. You can affect you,
Speaker 6: but don't pretend it doesn't affect you. Yeah. So that
Speaker 6: didn't hurt when I was getting mad, because I was
Speaker 6: mad no matter, and I was mad at each one
Speaker 6: of you, just like everyone, every single one of you
Speaker 6: is so screwed up. What you're talking about.
Speaker 5: Well, we eventually get to the playground where you accept
Speaker 5: Topanga as your son's future wife with the family heirloom ring,
Speaker 5: and then you find out we are going to wait
Speaker 5: to have a wedding. We didn't really remember that. This
Speaker 5: is where the two episode arc ended. We were talking
Speaker 5: about it. We were like, why don't they just get
Speaker 5: engaged and then and then wait.
Speaker 3: To have a wedding? Not just seems normal.
Speaker 5: We talked about that all through the first episode, and
Speaker 5: then when it happens in this episode, we were like, oh.
Speaker 3: Very smart made you wait?
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly what were your thoughts on that scene? And
Speaker 5: when you read it in the script, like knowing that
Speaker 5: that's where it was coming, what did you feel about
Speaker 5: it then?
Speaker 6: Well? I wasn't surprised. Yeah, I knew I had to
Speaker 6: do that, but I at that point I was seeing
Speaker 6: what was happening because you guys agree not to get
Speaker 6: married yet. Yeah, yeah, so that kind of helped me anyway,
Speaker 6: go okay, But also I did feel badly about yelling
Speaker 6: at you. I really did.
Speaker 3: I remember that. I remember that being hard for us.
Speaker 6: I felt bad for you and it was hard for us,
Speaker 6: you and me.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So when that happened, it was like, oh good, I
Speaker 6: have a yeah, a door.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do remember that. I remember it being emotional
Speaker 5: for both of us.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seems.
Speaker 6: The seventies we all cry.
Speaker 3: Along it happens.
Speaker 5: I'm in my forties and I saw like a baby regularly.
Speaker 2: So me too.
Speaker 1: I actually just cried last week at a d com
Speaker 1: So yes, I did.
Speaker 2: Yes, I did baby.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: So there you go. Yeah, I'm not totally dead inside,
Speaker 2: just on life.
Speaker 3: Mostly thank you.
Speaker 2: I felt something. It was interesting. I don't want to
Speaker 2: do it again, but it was interesting.
Speaker 1: A quick question, and I don't know if you'll remember this,
Speaker 1: but there was another question that we had that were like, oh.
Speaker 2: We have to ask Betsy when she's on.
Speaker 1: So there's the episode I don't know if you remember
Speaker 1: where Tapanga is essentially propositioned and almost assaulted in her
Speaker 1: dorm room by the teacher by Fred Savage's character.
Speaker 2: Do you remember this episode?
Speaker 6: Gosh, I forgotten about it. Tell me go ahead.
Speaker 1: Well, so that one of the things we're talking about.
Speaker 1: So it ends in a big courtroom case and one
Speaker 1: of the problems that we had in the episode was
Speaker 1: that Topanga. It was it wasn't about Topanga. It instantly
Speaker 1: became about how Cory dealt with the fact that Tapanga
Speaker 1: was dealing with this. And there's and again, I know
Speaker 1: I'm throwing a specific moment at you, but there was
Speaker 1: a moment in the courtroom at the end where you
Speaker 1: don't have any lines, but you walk over and you
Speaker 1: essentially say, without any words, you put your hands on
Speaker 1: Danielle and it's like, I'm so sorry you went through this. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I distinctly remember you asking for that moment because
Speaker 1: there was no moment between the two of you.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think, and I'm just sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just wondering if you remember anything about that.
Speaker 6: I don't really, but I can see myself doing that,
Speaker 6: and it's sort of in my memory. I'd have to
Speaker 6: go watch the episode again, but I could see myself
Speaker 6: doing that, of course.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, we were just curious if.
Speaker 6: I thought it wasn't expressed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't expressed.
Speaker 5: And then there's like a part word to Penga even
Speaker 5: in the courtroom scene, goes to speak up and say
Speaker 5: something and Dean Bolander, you know, Bobby goes quiet and like,
Speaker 5: I don't even get to speak. Meanwhile, Sean gets asked
Speaker 5: to speak two times. Sean had nothing to do with
Speaker 5: the storyline. But Sean's opinion is welcomed and encouraged, and
Speaker 5: hear me, who was the one who was assaulted or
Speaker 5: at least, you know, come on to by this teacher
Speaker 5: doesn't ever get to tell my side of the story.
Speaker 5: And so it was really nice that there was at
Speaker 5: least some acknowledgment from you. Ton of the.
Speaker 6: Male writers were acknowledging that your voice wasn't being heard.
Speaker 3: Yes, right, yes, exactly.
Speaker 5: So we do remember that, will remember it specifically that
Speaker 5: I'm giving this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember you kind of saying, no, I have
Speaker 1: to go over and say something or address this in
Speaker 1: some way, and they gave you that little beat. But I, yeah,
Speaker 1: I distinctly remember that. I was just wondering if I
Speaker 1: know I was throwing a random episode out at you,
Speaker 1: but it was one we wanted to talk to you about.
Speaker 6: Which episode it is.
Speaker 3: It's called Everybody Loves Stewart.
Speaker 5: It's season six, episode seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about four episodes from now from the one
Speaker 1: you just watched.
Speaker 5: Yeah, season six, episode six or seven. So find it
Speaker 5: and we'll talk to you about it again. This episode
Speaker 5: was also a big fake out goodbye to mister Feenie.
Speaker 5: I know you've talked a little bit about what your
Speaker 5: relationship with Bill was like, both on screen and off,
Speaker 5: but was tell us a little bit about what Bill
Speaker 5: was like as a scene partner.
Speaker 3: And was he joky with you guys? Did was there
Speaker 3: talk in between scenes?
Speaker 5: What was he like as a as a as a
Speaker 5: co actor.
Speaker 6: He was a rare bird and he still is. He
Speaker 6: wasn't a big jokester or chatty kind of guy, but eventually,
Speaker 6: but conversations would come up. He was very protective of
Speaker 6: his space to remember his lines and so on, so
Speaker 6: he was very conscientious about that. He did joke around
Speaker 6: with us in some ways, you know, and we but
Speaker 6: not a whole lot.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: It was really a little bit more. There was a respect.
Speaker 6: I did appreciate his experience as a person and an actor,
Speaker 6: and I admired him a lot, and I wanted him
Speaker 6: to like me. Yeah, I think he liked me. It
Speaker 6: was just and that made it even more When a
Speaker 6: scene came up, boy, I thought he was selling you
Speaker 6: out and I just you know, I was mad at
Speaker 6: him for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't think that he.
Speaker 6: Would really be like that in real life. I didn't,
Speaker 6: but maybe he was, you know, sort of. So there
Speaker 6: was that. But but I I just loved working with him.
Speaker 6: I learned a lot. And also when we first started,
Speaker 6: he and I would go to lunch sometimes together, you know,
Speaker 6: at first, because you're getting to know each other, so
Speaker 6: you kind of go and on the set, you know,
Speaker 6: and you go to the Paramount or wherever we started,
Speaker 6: I guess it was Disney Disney, Yeah, and we would
Speaker 6: just come kind of talk and get to know each
Speaker 6: other about what we're interested in. I was a singer
Speaker 6: and we shared shared a lot, we had a lot
Speaker 6: in common, and so that was nice. So I adore
Speaker 6: the guy. But he's always been a little bit hard
Speaker 6: to know, Yeah, when you might step over something or
Speaker 6: he won't get it. Now we just didn't hear anything.
Speaker 6: So that's.
Speaker 1: We were all searching for his approval. By the way,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a single one of us on
Speaker 1: the set that didn't want Bill.
Speaker 2: To like us.
Speaker 6: Well, I would bet you did. And the thing was
Speaker 6: is that you guys worked so well off of him.
Speaker 6: You did in particular. You boys in particular had to
Speaker 6: come to terms with working with him, and then Danielle,
Speaker 6: of course you came into this picture and the three
Speaker 6: of you just had He was a lot, a big
Speaker 6: part of your lives. Yes, so his approval really mattered,
Speaker 6: it did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just had a realization while Betsy was talking
Speaker 4: about his memorization. Bill never held a script during rehearsal,
Speaker 4: did he. No, No, we never saw him holding a script.
Speaker 4: He would show up for every rehearsal and he memorized
Speaker 4: would change even Friday. That's what I mean, realizing that
Speaker 4: he would memorize that day script completely. We would all
Speaker 4: be walking around with scripts in our hands until the
Speaker 4: moment we taped. Usually I mean some of us would
Speaker 4: get it, especially because it was always being rewritten. But
Speaker 4: I'm just realizing we never rehearsed with Bill where he
Speaker 4: held a script in his hand.
Speaker 5: He had one off to the side with all of
Speaker 5: his notes, and he could go looking in between scenes,
Speaker 5: pick it up, go over what he you know, go
Speaker 5: over it, look at his notes, but it was never
Speaker 5: in his hand.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 6: On stage life experience since as he was a child.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a muscle he used all the time, yea.
Speaker 6: And it's just he really mastered that. And my gosh,
Speaker 6: the guy did Broadway and solo and had to do everything.
Speaker 6: I mean, he really had that. I just I was impressed.
Speaker 6: I'm impressed now, well he did memorize now that we're
Speaker 6: all older and memorizing is a little bit more challenging.
Speaker 1: Yes, So I mean, can you remember him ever calling
Speaker 1: for a line? Oh?
Speaker 6: I'm sure he did, but I don't.
Speaker 1: He must have, but I don't. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: remember it happening. I remember all occasionally, but I remember it.
Speaker 5: Happening even if he didn't call for What happened is
Speaker 5: he'd get quiet, and he'd look down and he'd search
Speaker 5: for it, and then Kathy would and Kathy would then
Speaker 5: toss it out and he'd then he'd go back.
Speaker 4: But that was sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Man, Well, finally, I know our listeners were thrilled to
Speaker 5: see you on a recent episode of Matt Locke tell
Speaker 5: us all about that.
Speaker 6: Wasn't that? I kick just so funny? And in fact,
Speaker 6: they do a two part episode at the end just
Speaker 6: lets a week ago or something, two episodes and I'm
Speaker 6: in the episode's given me some.
Speaker 3: Exactly, Yes, but it was.
Speaker 6: It was such a small little part, but it was
Speaker 6: really fun and it was such a trip to work
Speaker 6: with Kathy Bates. I mean when you walk meet her
Speaker 6: and you you like, she comes in and she's in
Speaker 6: this old lady kind of look and I and she goes, hello,
Speaker 6: don't you look pretty? And I said, well, you look
Speaker 6: very pretty too. I mean it was just like, hello,
Speaker 6: this is how.
Speaker 3: You kill me.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 6: You know, everybody thinks that when they first meet them,
Speaker 6: because you know she's her, she's the murderer. And in
Speaker 6: the movie, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's misery. She she's always got that craziness.
Speaker 6: She killed every I mean, she just was killer in
Speaker 6: that and one best actress for it. She's just but
Speaker 6: she's so sharp and I learned a lot watching her
Speaker 6: and just seeing how she stays focused. I mean, she's
Speaker 6: the producer of the show. She's in on the writing,
Speaker 6: she approves the writing. I mean, the really good cast.
Speaker 6: The director is the daughter of David Lynch. It's just
Speaker 6: a really top notch group and it was an honor
Speaker 6: to work on it. It really was. It was fun
Speaker 6: and I wasn't intimidated. There was just one time where
Speaker 6: there was a line I kept wanting to not say
Speaker 6: so I had to you know, call line for that
Speaker 6: one thing. But as it turns out, they cut that
Speaker 6: line anyway, so.
Speaker 3: There's a reason why you didn't remember it.
Speaker 6: I was right, but she was. She was very gracious
Speaker 6: and at the end after I you know, turned into
Speaker 6: a dementia maniac and can't you know think and it
Speaker 6: can't communicate anymore, and I thought, well that was They said, gee,
Speaker 6: you're so convincing, and I said, well, you know, it's
Speaker 6: not hard for me to play dementia. I know what
Speaker 6: that is. I kind of feel it. But what was
Speaker 6: interesting is that I had to stand at the you know,
Speaker 6: do it. We did it over and over and over,
Speaker 6: and going up and down this hallway and that scene
Speaker 6: with her partner who sings to me, who'se a gorgeous voice,
Speaker 6: and we had that in common, so that was sort
Speaker 6: of fun. And so I was at the end of
Speaker 6: the hall just waiting to come in again, and she
Speaker 6: was standing at the other end and she looks at
Speaker 6: me and goes like that, oh cool, And I thought, okay,
Speaker 6: that's good. I could finish up. So really it was lovely.
Speaker 6: They were very gracious to me and very complimentary and
Speaker 6: it was just a wonderful thing. And I wish I
Speaker 6: didn't have dementia so I could go back as another
Speaker 6: you know, guest star. But yeah, unless I snap out
Speaker 6: of it, I don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 4: It could happen. You never know.
Speaker 6: You never know.
Speaker 5: How often are you are you still auditioning, submitting self tapes?
Speaker 5: Are you how often are you going out for parts?
Speaker 6: Well lately not at all. It's terrible right now. And
Speaker 6: I know everybody I'm talking to, even bigger celebrities than us,
Speaker 6: you know, is they're just everything is like and even
Speaker 6: comment about how difficult it is to afford to shoot
Speaker 6: here and everybody Canada. So I realized that, I mean,
Speaker 6: it used to be that i'd have, you know, I
Speaker 6: do an audition every couple of weeks and stuff, some
Speaker 6: for Chicago, my agent in Chicago because I can go
Speaker 6: there and say I live there because of my family.
Speaker 6: But just nothing's really popped, you know. And I'm sort
Speaker 6: of in between. I'm I am awfully cute, so cute,
Speaker 6: very cute, and I don't know if I am on
Speaker 6: the camera here, but but overall, I just have a
Speaker 6: cuteness that sometimes works against me when it comes to
Speaker 6: being older. And I think that art was great because
Speaker 6: I looked vulnerable and childlike, right. It worked for the
Speaker 6: care and it worked for that. So I mean, I
Speaker 6: I did a movie where I scare the shit out
Speaker 6: of everybody, so I'm I know how to do that.
Speaker 6: If my if I have a dark wig worked better. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but my cuteness didn't get the way because I was playing.
Speaker 6: I was so in control of everything and so well
Speaker 6: written for this play called whatever it's called. It was
Speaker 6: called but Painter, and so I just I just not
Speaker 6: getting as much as I'd like. There was one where
Speaker 6: I was asked to come in to play opposite Ted Danson,
Speaker 6: which about killed me. And I went in after Sally's druthers. Okay,
Speaker 6: So I went, okay, not really sure that I'm more
Speaker 6: ripe than she is, you know. And it was the
Speaker 6: first time I had gone in person and been assidges
Speaker 6: and it was there were only four of us. Wow,
Speaker 6: really honored to just be with yes and yeah, And
Speaker 6: so there was something and it was the gal who
Speaker 6: the casting director was their casting director from We's World.
Speaker 6: Oh Sally, Sally, Miss Sally.
Speaker 2: Oh cool?
Speaker 6: It was really so it was. I was so nervous
Speaker 6: and I you know, and I was afraid to I
Speaker 6: hadn't auditioned in so long in person, and I can't
Speaker 6: read the script without my glasses, and I thought, geez,
Speaker 6: you know, can I wear my glasses for these and do?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 6: I thought, well, I'm not going to wear my glasses.
Speaker 6: I'm just going to memorize it. Wow. Yeah, that was
Speaker 6: a challenge. I can my lines and just you know,
Speaker 6: I finally got through it. But oh, I would have
Speaker 6: been better off to just wear my glasses and all
Speaker 6: repp and do it and do it the way I
Speaker 6: knew I could do it. But I wasn't right for
Speaker 6: the part anywhere. I mean, that was really the bottom line.
Speaker 6: And I saw Sally do it. My god, she was great,
Speaker 6: you know. But anyway, I felt like, Okay, well there's
Speaker 6: hope if I'm requested like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 6: You guys do much anymore.
Speaker 3: None of us are doing.
Speaker 6: It's nope for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't even try though.
Speaker 6: In all fairness, do you audition for voiceover? Do you
Speaker 6: have a voiceover thing?
Speaker 2: Voiceover?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I bet you do. I have a good voiceover
Speaker 6: agent and they love me but I just can't get cast.
Speaker 2: It's tough to break into like.
Speaker 6: A click yeah, and I do these things and I.
Speaker 5: Go, this is great.
Speaker 6: You know, they cast me and sometimes I'll get called back,
Speaker 6: but most of the time I'm not kidding it, and
Speaker 6: I just don't know what to say them right right,
Speaker 6: So it's it's hard.
Speaker 5: But anyway, we adore seeing you both on Zoom and
Speaker 5: in person. I hope we get an opportunity to see
Speaker 5: you in zoom outside of Zoom again soon. And I
Speaker 5: know our audience was thrilled when they saw you on
Speaker 5: Matt Locke, So keep sending in those self tapes because
Speaker 5: we want to see more and more of you. We're
Speaker 5: not done watching Betsy Randall.
Speaker 6: But funny either. Thank you, thank.
Speaker 3: You for being with us. We love you so much.
Speaker 6: I love you much.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Betsy.
Speaker 2: We see you next time.
Speaker 6: Okay, bye, Betras.
Speaker 5: It's I knew when I watched it, and I had
Speaker 5: that feeling that was like I remember it being a
Speaker 5: passionate thing.
Speaker 3: She was angry, She's true, she was. She was angry, upset. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean to hear her.
Speaker 4: Fascinating to me how much Betsy as an actor inhabits
Speaker 4: the character.
Speaker 3: She thinks it's the same person.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 3: It's not any different.
Speaker 4: There's no membrane, there's no situation. It's like and so
Speaker 4: it's it's even when she's talking about her memories half
Speaker 4: the time, I feel like she's Oh, she's talking about
Speaker 4: what she was doing in the scene, and then she's
Speaker 4: talking about what she was doing off camera. But it's
Speaker 4: the same person. It's the same. So she experiences like
Speaker 4: her her reality is that emotional truth that of the
Speaker 4: of the scene and also the experience as an actor
Speaker 4: doing it. And there's no she just lives it. It's
Speaker 4: so cool.
Speaker 2: It's a different type of method.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the difference between amy.
Speaker 4: She wants to be in present tense like that's that's
Speaker 4: the Meisner technique, right, is that you react to what
Speaker 4: you're given and what what's seeing you're in. And she
Speaker 4: is so good at it that I think she fundamentally
Speaker 4: lives the experience in a way that like I don't
Speaker 4: really like. I mean, I would have experiences, but I
Speaker 4: wouldn't like I wouldn't absorb them as mine or my
Speaker 4: real life reaction the way that I think she clearly does,
Speaker 4: Like she's living this. It's really cool. It's really intense.
Speaker 4: It's it's a lot. I mean, you're I mean you're
Speaker 4: feeling the feels like I love that she's still crying.
Speaker 4: I'm like at the drop of mad. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: because you are a live wire of emotional transparency, like
Speaker 4: you are feeling it and letting yourself. It's such a
Speaker 4: cool muscle.
Speaker 1: Wow, I haven't seen it yet, but I hear Painter,
Speaker 1: I hear she's really really good in that movie. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard apparently an incredible performance.
Speaker 5: So it also explains why she remembers and why I
Speaker 5: remember it being so emotional between her and I because
Speaker 5: she was so concerned about the fact that she had
Speaker 5: hurt me.
Speaker 2: She still feels bad, literally bad for.
Speaker 5: Danielle, and it was like, you know, yeah, it's just
Speaker 5: so interesting.
Speaker 3: She really it's there. It's so cool. It's it's so cool.
