Speaker 2: Hello Chris.

19
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: I just the second as you started talking, took a

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 3: sip of my drink, which is my least favorite sound

21
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 3: to hear when I'm listening to people on podcasts or

22
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: the YouTube horoscope hero card reader who always drinks her tea.

23
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: I literally want to scream and run out of the room.

24
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 3: And I just did it myself.

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: It's okay.

26
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 4: We have to be scared of accidentally smr that we're

27
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: doing on here, because let us not forget of the

28
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: muffin episode where or donuts. We had a whole box

29
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: of donuts and a lot of hate mail. Youre smacking.

30
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: We've eaten and we've drinken Starbucks on the mic so

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: many times when we're in the car, as if nothing

32
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: mattered in the world. This was pre pandemic.

33
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: Just smacking and slurping like we're doing fully work for

34
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 4: a makeout scene in a teen horror.

35
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: And a teen eating disorder.

36
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: After school special, Very special, After school Special.

37
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: Very special. Rice Crispies advertised. I was eating the rice

38
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: Rice Crispy bar, Remember that one. That's what made that

39
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: one guy rolling.

40
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, because there's the crunching and the snapping and the

41
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: cracklings as well, it's the slurping. We it's funny. I

42
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: realized this weekend. I had a couple fun gigs where

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 4: there was a car scent and a car like a

44
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 4: driver a professional where they're holding up my name. I'm

45
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 4: not bragging. It's just very rare that I'm not ubering.

46
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 4: And I realize it's funny because we have a podcast

47
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 4: where we talk while driving. That is really something I've discovered.

48
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: I do not want out of a driver from here

49
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 4: on out. I want a someone that might be it's

50
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 4: just a cover for them being a hit man. I

51
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: want a silent, stoic, brooding, handsome. I don't know why

52
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: they have to be a hand I'm just thinking about

53
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: Ryan Gosling.

54
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: Baby.

55
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I because I had two drivers, one this

56
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 4: this woman in Cleveland. She was really sweet and then

57
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: just started talking about Obama and that his middle names Hussein.

58
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: And then the next driver, also a kind man, until

59
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: we started talking about COVID and he was saying it

60
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 4: was not a He'd done his own research, it's not

61
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: a it's not a virus. I'm just like, can we

62
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: just And I got mad, I'd like yelled at them

63
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: and felt bad.

64
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: It became a yelling thing.

65
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: Well it's supposed to become a yelling thing because both

66
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: of those times they were bringing up topics that Fox

67
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: News has taught them. Here's how you can fight with liberals.

68
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, they Essentially, I just think that not everyone

69
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: should have the Internet.

70
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: That's all. That's all. I just want it.

71
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: Well, how about the fact that you can do your

72
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 3: own research until the end of time, but you're you've

73
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: never got your doctorate, Like take your research and test

74
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: it out at the local medical school that you can't

75
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 3: get into. Well, how about that?

76
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: According to this second driver. A lot of the scientists

77
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 4: that he looks up to have been murdered because they know,

78
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 4: they know it's not a virus, they've been killed.

79
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: Chris, did you walk up to anybody holding a white

80
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: piece of paper and your name wasn't even on It

81
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: was just a crazy person you got into the car.

82
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 4: He was dressed nice, there was no leaves in his hair,

83
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: he didn't have a wild eye. He was a professional

84
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: driver with a lot of personal opinions. And I'm just

85
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 4: glad it's over from now.

86
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: It sucks.

87
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 3: It's hard enough. Yeah, it's bad enough when they have

88
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: bad COLOGNEA.

89
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: For that.

90
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: Wait, remember the time there was a time where there

91
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 3: was a driver that came and picked me up. God,

92
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 3: I wish I could remember anyway, because this was a

93
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: while ago, and he talked the whole time. I had

94
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: to listen to some of his original music, Oh on on,

95
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: and then I as I was wont to do in

96
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: like twenty fifteen or whenever it was tweeted about it,

97
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: like as it was happening where I was, like, so

98
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 3: if I end up in a ditch, I just wanted

99
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: to tell people or whatever. He responded to the tweet

100
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: oh no, when I got off the plane on the

101
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: other end.

102
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: Of whereas from that would have been way worse.

103
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 2: That would have been way worse.

104
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was really that was very upsetting where

105
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: I was just like, oh, oh no, you and you

106
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 3: follow me on Twitter.

107
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: That's insane.

108
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure I know what you're getting at.

109
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 4: I don't think these two people listen to our podcast,

110
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 4: but maybe maybe they. But I mean what I say,

111
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 4: and I'm not going back on my uh snapping at them.

112
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: You don't have to, although you are giving them what

113
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: they want by snapping at them, but it's they also

114
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: have you trapped, and they're telling you. Basically they're saying,

115
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: I will believe anything that passes my face.

116
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just made it. It made it complicated because

117
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 4: I'm not kidding. They were both sweet people, right, you know,

118
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: the people can be both. But speaking of sweet people, God,

119
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 4: I'm getting real good at these intro segues.

120
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: Karen says, who your driver? Me right now to myself,

121
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: just saying the same word twice.

122
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: It's just hitting.

123
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: It's Karen, do you want to?

124
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 3: She plays clubs and colleges all over this fine country that,

125
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: thank god, is no longer being led by a person

126
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: whose middle name also sounds a little bit ethnic. God forbid,

127
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, It's Mary Holland.

128
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: Hi, Hi'm Mary.

Speaker 1: In this car. Thank you. Yes, it's it's a nice car, right.

131
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Karen, there's a yield sign. If you could

132
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 4: just play along, Mary, we do a lot.

133
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

134
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, it's fun.

135
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 5: It's really fun all the different signs, and it's so

136
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 5: fun when you drive reading Yeah, reading signs, it's so fun.

137
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the best part.

138
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: Most of our podcast was reading signs aloud.

139
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: People loved it, and we get back to it soon soon.

140
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 5: I'm very impressed that you could uh maintain. Did you

141
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 5: ever find that the driving was uh, it was hard

142
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 5: to maintain, like a through line of thought or conversation.

143
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: I find it so.

144
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: Hard to drive and talk.

145
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I found it very hard.

146
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: And we discovered early on that the Karen's able to

147
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: multitask in that way.

148
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: And I think.

149
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: In my experience a lot of women in my life

150
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 4: were able to do a bunch of things at once.

151
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: If I try and talk and drive at the same time,

152
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: I just felt like I was going to make us

153
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: crash and Karen doesn't have that's god.

154
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 6: Well.

155
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: Also, Chris was for a long time our soundman and

156
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 3: we were completely guessing at how to run the zoom

157
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: recorder and get good sound. So there was there were

158
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: many episodes that you can go back and listen to

159
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: where Chris loses faith kind of like around usually the

160
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: twenty five minute mark. That great, usually on the heels

201
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,400

260
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 5: ever done in my whole life. And there's a very

261
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 5: funny story around it. The worst acting I've ever done

262
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 5: in my life. I've done so many more worse things,

263
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 5: like in the real life, but it was for It

264
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 5: was when I first moved to LA and USC. You know,

265
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: they have the their film department and everything, and there's

266
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 5: a I don't know if they still do this, but

267
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 5: at the time, part of the program there in the

268
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 5: director program is they would an assignment from their class

269
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 5: would be to reshoot a famous scene from cinema history,

270
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 5: so like the breakup scene from Goodwill Hunting or.

271
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, that's the only thing I can think of. No,

272
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: that's one that's used all the time. It's used all

273
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: the time.

274
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 5: But and the director had to like cast it and

275
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 5: then re like shoot it the way they would. And

276
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 5: so I got an audition on LA casting for us.

277
00:14:54,200 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 5: They were reshooting a scene from Fried Green Tomatoes, and

278
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 5: I was like, well, I got to do that, and so.

279
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: I auditioned for it.

280
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 5: I auditioned for both roles, and it was it's like,

281
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 5: not just well, I guess this movie is very old

282
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 5: at this point, I was gonna say, I don't want

283
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 5: to spoil it.

284
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you don't know Tomatoes at this point, that's

285
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: on you.

286
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 5: That's on you, and that is on you. But it's

287
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 5: the scene at the end of the movie. It basically

288
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 5: is a death.

289
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: Scene, and it's a story. You know, it's between these

290
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: two women who.

291
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 5: You know, have such a deep relationship with each other,

292
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 5: and is a very dramatic scene.

293
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: And I was like, I was fresh from theater school,

294
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: so I was in my feelings.

295

Speaker 5: shooting the scene, we shot all of the other actresses coverage.

308
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: First. I didn't know anything about coverage or anything, and.

309
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 5: I was just oh, I was given it every take

310
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 5: I could have given it.

311
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: I was just serving up just way too much emotion.

312
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: And then and so by the time like it turned

313
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 5: around and it was on me, I was completely exhausted

314
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 5: and I was wrenching feelings from myself, which is so

315
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 5: fun to watch. And uh, I like, oh my gosh.

316
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 5: I worked myself up into a frenzy trying to like

317
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 5: get there, you know. And then at one point we

318
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 5: were like, uh, it was in between takes, and the

319
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 5: boom operator leaned over to me and he was like,

320
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 5: I just want to say that your performance is really beautiful.

321
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 5: It's really amazing work and just really inspired by you.

322
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my god, thank you.

323
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 5: Like I was like, yes, yes, I'm so impactful as

324
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 5: a performer. So that that short that she finished editing

325
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 5: it and everything, and then she took us out to dinner,

326
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 5: the director and she's she was like telling us about

327
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 5: the shoot and she was like, oh, that shoe was

328
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 5: such a nightmare. And we were both like, oh, really

329
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 5: why and she was like, well, the boom operator was

330
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 5: wasted and.

331
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: He was being emotional because he was drunk. I love it.

332
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 2: He was wasted.

333
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 4: I just want to add to that and say I

334
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 4: love you.

335
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, wo is nice.

336
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 2: That's so nice.

337
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 5: But anyway, I feel like, I mean, the director and

338
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 5: the other actors did a great job, but I was

339
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 5: real rough stuff in there. So steer away from that

340
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 5: if you come across it on Vimeo or wherever.

341
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, just or give it a thumbs up for effort,

342
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: because you know that's the thing about acting.

343
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: It's like, sure, being convincing is one thing, but what

344
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: about just plain old effort.

345
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, effortful performance, yes, and we don't we don't

346
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 7: recognize that enough, Like there's there's actually not enough awards

347
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 7: for effort, and there really should be.

348
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: If you're breaking a sweat.

349
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah I was sweating.

350
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 5: I was crapping my pants trying to trying to cry.

351
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: So it was great.

352
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very the difference between like because I studied

353
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 3: theater in college when I went for the year and

354
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 3: a half before I got kicked out for not going

355
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 3: to any other class. But I really like live performance. Yeah,

356
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: coming to LA and just kind of being like, oh,

357
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 3: I'll go on some auditions having no experience or any

358
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 3: I never took a cold reading class. I never took

359
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: a scene class. I never took a like acting for

360
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 3: TV class. I new fucking clue about anything, and it

361
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: took me so long to realize. It's like, I think

362
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: I like the live immediate experience of you know, either

363
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: your failing or you're succeeding, and it's all happening right there.

364
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 3: I really don't like acting at all, and I tried

365
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 3: to do it for so long, and it's like, I

366
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 3: don't know if I'm even good and I definitely don't

367
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: like it, which would affect whether or not I'm good. Yeah,

368
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 3: it's the whole thing is just a bit of a

369
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,239
Speaker 3: like it's so strange too. It took me, you know,

370
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: maybe fifteen years to be like, yeah, I don't know

371
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 3: if I actually even like that. I just signed up

372
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: for it kind of wow.

373
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's to hear you say.

374
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 4: Because you're good in things, Karen, are you someone maybe

375
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 4: you're like me where you're like, I don't enjoy it

376
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 4: while it's happening. I enjoy it when it's done, like,

377
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 4: but during its work, it's like not, it's stressful and

378
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 4: it's work and it's exhausted.

379
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: And it's also like I just think that you know

380
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 3: the reason, like some people are good at it is

381
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 3: because they are built to go. Of course you want

382
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 3: to watch me do this, right, But I have like

383
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 3: about seven problems just to get to the point where

384
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I'm gonna do something. You know, I

385
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: don't know, I don't think it's good and I certainly

386
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 3: don't believe in it. But here, I'll do this thing

387
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: you asked me to do. Yeah, it's like there's so

388
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 3: many you know, when you watch a beautiful performance. To me,

389
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: it took me forever to realize, like about eighty percent

390
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: of it is the confidence of that person knowing you

391
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: want to watch me do this, Like Brad Titt knows

392
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 3: you want to look at his face no matter what

393
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 3: he's doing with that fly fishing and a river runs.

394
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 2: Dirt or whatever.

395
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 3: He's like, you're gonna love this. Join you.

396
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh and he's right on the money, isn't it.

397
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's so true.

398
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

399
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 4: All third that yeah, got to I get and I'm someone.

400
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 4: Yeah when I'm even no matter how much experience I get,

401
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: the mantra in my head while I'm acting is do

402
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 4: I belong here?

403
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I belong here.

404
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 2: It's a it's a real min.

405
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: It's like a I think it's a stand up comic thing,

406
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: where like it serves us as comics to judge ourselves

407
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 3: because you have to be ready for a worst case scenario.

408
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: But I think it really doesn't serve you as a

409
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: as an actor, as a camera actor to be like

410
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 3: have that look in your eye of like, I don't

411
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 3: think so that's what I always look like. It's just

412
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 3: like I'm not buying it.

413
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: I don't know why you, ma'am. You're in the middle

414
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: of a line. Was that a lot of story?

415
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: What I meant was, can here's your change?

416
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: Sir?

417
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: Oh okay, now that time I bought it?

418
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 4: You're acting on camera. It's now a bad time to

419
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 4: do crowd work.

420
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: Could I get where's the boom operator? I just people

421
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 2: around me? Where is he?

422
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 5: It's so true you kind of have to self generate

423
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 5: that the validation of like this is good or you

424
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 5: almost have to shut off that part of your brain

425
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 5: that is thinking about is this good or not?

426
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: Because you can really.

427
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 5: Go down a terrible, terrible spy, right and no one's

428
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 5: going to give you that validation either, like, oh boy,

429
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 5: no one's given it to you.

430
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what's hard.

431
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 4: There's no one that stops after each take and says

432
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 4: hey that or laughs, I need to. I'm addicted to

433
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 4: hearing laughter saying really the only sign that I know

434
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: of that things are going okay.

435
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just remembered I was gonna.

436
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: I was in a TV show and it was I

437
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 3: felt horrible the whole time. I was in this weird

438
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 3: panic where I was like, I just I won't be

439
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 3: able to remember my lines. So then I just did

440
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: it like it was I was mind fucking myself.

441
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

442
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 3: But then there was one point where I was in

443
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 3: this scene with this woman who was playing my sister,

444
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: and they the director called cut, and she goes, well,

445
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 3: she's not and she did this super fucking rude thing

446
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 3: what basically like that didn't work because of what she

447
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 3: just did. And then I got so angry. And the

448
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 3: next take and it was this it was like a

449
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 3: kind of a dramatic scene or whatever, and the take

450
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: I made all these choices and it was all completely

451
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 3: just I was filled with rage, and they were.

452
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 2: Like cut, Oh my god, perfect.

453
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 3: Care and that was amazing, and the DP like leans

454
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: over and he's like that was really good, and I

455
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 3: was like I want to fucking kill someone.

456
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: I didn't give a shit about what was happening at all.

457
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 3: It has nothing to do with anything. It was like

458
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: that was the one of the first realizations of like, oh,

459
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: I like I get it now, and I am not

460
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 3: built for this. I'm not like I get it. There's

461
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 3: really good actors are the ones that like show up

462
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, yeah, I know how to manipulate

463
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 3: myself to get there. Yeah essentially, yeah.

464
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

465
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 5: It also I mean that I remember doing a one

466
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 5: act in college where you know how when you're in college, Oh,

467
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 5: I have another funny thing to say.

468
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: Well, I hope it's funny.

469
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: We'll see yeah, you know, you'll be the judge of that.

470
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 4: I'll lean over like a boom operator and let you know, okay, okay.

471
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 5: You know in theater school, how you're like you're nineteen

472
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 5: or something and you're being cast to play like eighty

473
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 5: year old you know people, or like a nine year

474
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 5: old like I played a nine year old in Grapes

475
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 5: of Wrath as like a twenty year old woman, And

476
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 5: that's like what that's theater school because there's a limited

477
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 5: pool of people that we're casting from, you know. But

478
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 5: I remember we were doing a one act and me

479
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 5: and my best friend at the theater school. We're playing these

480
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 5: two old women like and we just like existed on

481
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 5: stage during the whole one act, and uh, I was

482
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 5: like really like trying. I was like doing like an

483
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 5: old woman character like and I was like this is

484
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 5: really good. Like in my head, I was like, this

485
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 5: is really good. And then I got a note from

486
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 5: the director that was like he was like, you're you're

487
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 5: you're mugging, You're doing all this weird stuff with your face.

488
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: And then I was like, oh no.

489
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 5: And then we did another rehearsal of it and my

490
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 5: best friend I was I was like sewing or something,

491
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 5: and my best friend said.

492
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: Stop doing that.

493
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 5: It was like a real moment between us, and it

494
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 5: affected like I got so like what that The whole

495
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 5: rest of the scene, I was like only thinking about that?

496
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 2: Was that real?

497
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 5: Was that?

498
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: And then afterwards the director was like that was amazing,

499
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: Like I started got me out of my head.

500
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 5: But but on the on the note of playing younger

501
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 5: or older when I also when I first moved to

502
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 5: la and I had an agent and they called me

503
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 5: and they said, hey, I'm just you know, we're about

504
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 5: to start sending you out what. I just want to

505
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 5: know your age range, like, what do you think you

506
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 5: could play? And I was like, oldest seventy five and.

507
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 4: You just I need an oil pencil for line work

508
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 4: on my face.

509
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: And you, yes, oh that's youngest.

510
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: I think eleven or twelve.

511
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 1: That's so funny. Yeah, I love it.

512
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 4: Theater wasn't that because I started with a wildly popular

513
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 4: troop out of Montana, and I thought one of the uh,

514
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 4: one of our rules was no kids. No uh well

515
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: that's mentally deficient characters like you. That was a no

516
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 4: no al ways mmmm yeah yeah. And I just thought

517
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 4: that was like a rule for all of acting. But

518
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 4: maybe that's just our troop leader Eva. Maybe I think

519
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 4: that was just her and she was right, yeah, and she.

520
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: Was for improv.

521
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: It makes sense because you're if you're going to stand

522
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 3: there and make up a scene, don't don't do a

523
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: thing that's just going to make people insanely uncomfortable. Scene yea,

524
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: get a laugh if you're if you're trying to play

525
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 3: cutesy or make fun of this a deficiency, yeah, everyone's

526
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 3: gonna bum out. And it's anti comedy as opposed to

527
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 3: Marriott Juilliard who's like, I can't, I can and will

528
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: play a child of the of the dust Bowl.

529
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 6: Oh, and you know, I upstaged the whole show. I

530
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 6: was a child of the dust Bowl who had just

531
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 6: you know, a real sense of imagination and was like

532
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 6: doing doing all kinds of stuff upstage that pulled focus.

533
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 6: I love it.

534
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: I loved the idea of this happening.

535
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 4: But all the other actors were children except for you.

536
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a really avant garde production and we

537
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 5: didn't get great reviews, but you know what, Yeah, I

538
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 5: know it was weird, but we had a point of view.

539
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 5: Yeah that makes me think of the.

540
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 3: Not to just keep talking about. But I think it

541
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: was the last thing that I believed I could do.

542
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 3: And the reason I think, I think after that I

543
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: was like, don't do that stuff anymore, was because one

544
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: of the first things that happened, it was the first

545
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 3: day of rehearsal, but it was it was for a

546
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 3: TV show, but you know whatever, and we were just

547
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: doing these rehearsals of the scenes and everybody else My

548
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 3: scene was like fourth. So it was just watching all

549
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: these amazing British Scottish actors who all went to the

550
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: Royal Academy me, you know, like they were legit, and

551
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 3: I was just sitting there like, I'm fuck, this is crazy.

552
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: I don't know how I got this part because I

553
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: was like the American sister, right, yeah and cool. I

554
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: was really excited, but I absolutely did not believe I

555
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: should be there. And then the first scene we have

556
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: in front of everybody, and we literally it's like two

557
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 3: other people are talking and I say my line and

558
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: the director goes, hold on, what don't don't do that,

559
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: don't make that noise? And I go I was like sorry,

560
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: and she goes, you're making that American actress noise before

561
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: and she fucked me, like it absolutely was such bad,

562
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: such bad, such a bad.

563
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: Directing move on her partner.

564
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it was because she was like

565
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 3: an expat and I think she wanted to show everybody

566
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: else that she's not. But it's this thing, and it's

567
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 3: really true. It's a complete sitcom thing from the nineties

568
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 3: where if you're doing comedy and someone says something to you,

569
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: you go you make a little exhale before you say

570
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: your line to kind of show. And that was like,

571
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 3: my I'm showing that I don't like what you just

572
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 3: said or whatever. But I had no idea I was

573
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: doing it and I didn't know. And also I wanted

574
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 3: to go, yeah, thanks, I have no training, like you

575
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: shouldn't have cast me.

576
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: I learned this from watching episodes of Becker or something.

577
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah for real.

578
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah it was sitcom acting, but it was that thing

579
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: where it was like it was almost like she figured

580
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 3: out the perfect thing to dismantle me entirely for the

581
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 3: rest of the time.

582
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: It was crazy.

583
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: It was crazy, But then after a while it was

584
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 3: like I started to realize, well, you're in this, so

585
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 3: you better fucking like you know, like you're not going

586
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 3: to get it from the boom operator.

587
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: You're not going to get it from her.

588
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: Everybody in the cast was lovely, so I was just like, well,

589
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 3: just do what they're doing, like you'll be fine. Oh.

590
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: I had to kind of like dig it up myself.

591
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 5: That's such an awful experience to have to like, oh

592
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 5: my god, I so I can really relate to that.

593
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: It's like it it wasn't in front.

594
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 5: Of everybody too then oh yeah, oh yeah, god, it's

595
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 5: such a no, please don't.

596
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think if I think if I were

597
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: a true, like actor at heart, I would have been

598
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 3: able to kind of like counteract ego wise, right, counteract that.

599
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: But it's like, but I think I was. It was

600
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: just like in that thing where I was just.

601
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 3: Like, how did I get this barred? This is so exciting?

602
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 3: And then it was like it was basically her going like, hm,

603
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, and then I'm like, oh, because I'm

604
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 3: really not sure, so now we're all not sure. It

605
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: was like that, you know, watching something kind of unravel.

606
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.

607
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 3: Luckily the other people in it were so good and

608
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: so nice and so cool that it it that helped

609
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 3: and elevate it, and I just you know, it wasn't

610
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 3: It was a great experience overall, but it was one

611
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: of those kind of things where it's like, yeah, you

612
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: can't essentially, that's what I'm saying. You can't have a

613
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 3: low uh you know bank of your confidence bank has

614
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 3: to be completely full, yes, ten. You can't be kind

615
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 3: of like middle to low, or your fucked because one

616
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 3: thing like that happens and you you you're fucked, yes,

617
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 3: Or you have to like put all the self because oh,

618
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 3: you know, I'm just filled with self doubt and loathing.

619
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: But I'm able to sort of like you.

620
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 5: Shove it away and you're like, I'll deal with that

621
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 5: when I go back to my room and I'll cry,

622
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 5: I'll hate myself for the rest of the night. But

623
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 5: for now, like, yes, it's almost like you have to

624
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 5: like just I don't know, uh, push it to the

625
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 5: side because you It's definitely not a thing, at least

626
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 5: for me, where I feel like I am full of

627
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 5: confidence throughout the whole thing.

628
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 2: It's like I am dead in a part of myself.

629
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's what's that's the way to put it.

630
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 4: I think that's what people get good at. When I

631
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 4: watch someone that is unshakably confident, I quickly realize a

632
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 4: lot of the time that they aren't confident. They hate

633
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 4: themselves like I do as well, but they were able

634
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 4: to set it aside. And I've never been in the

635
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 4: set it aside and get into full character.

636
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 3: It's tough to get into character, it is.

637
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 5: Oh, getting into character is so hard. You have to sit.

638
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to find a good chair.

639
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: That's that's the hardest. Yeah.

640
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 4: I want to start to get into this standing acting.

Speaker 2: rinsed it.

658
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: These dumb commercial husbands.

Speaker 5: And I was like, you cannot with I was like,

00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 5: but the parasitic commercial is, oh, you don't have to

Speaker 2: There is Yes, it's like an exclusivity thing.

672
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,040

673
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 5: I I'm sure I did. Yes, any any sort of

674
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,000

00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,080

00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 2: Paul Malive.

678
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 5: Paul Malive was really persistent, Uh, yes, I did have

679
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 5: to do that.

680
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: And it was also the first time, Like.

681
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 5: The acting lifestyle is so crazy because you sort of

682
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 5: you of course, never know when you're gonna work, and

683
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 5: you you work and you get like a chunk of

684
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 5: income and then but it's not consistent and.

685
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: So you're expected to figure out for yourself how to.

686
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 5: Make that chunk last. And you know, I learned that

687
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 5: lesson the hard way. But it was my it was

688
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 5: my first time like having that experience and like, you know,

689
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 5: not that it was a ton of money or thing,

690
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 5: but it was like you know, when I was a

691
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 5: host of see in a restaurant or like dog walking.

692
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 2: And stuff, it was like, oh, you get little.

693
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 5: Checks on like a weekly basis, but it was thrilling

694
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 5: to see a number one was larger than one hundred dollars.

695
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it did last a while, like it wasn't a

696
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 3: national commercial that paid.

697
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: It was a national commercial. But I wouldn't say. I

698
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 2: wouldn't say it lasted as long as I.

699
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: Just turn the metal in con because they.

700
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 2: Also like the narrative you hear.

701
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 5: And I don't know if you both experienced this, but

702
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 5: the narrative you hear, like, oh, commercial acting is where

703
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 5: it's at.

704
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: You know, you get on the super Bowl, Yes.

705
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 5: You're set for life. It's basically the narrative that I internalized.

706
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 4: It used to be that way, yeah, right, yeah, no longer, no, no.

707
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 1: No, it's just it lasts for two months.

708
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then they when they take away the insurance

709
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 4: and you're left with these car payments from a Honda

710
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 4: A eight on record that you bought.

711
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just an example, Chris, you're crying.

712
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: It's okay. It's my method acting.

713
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 4: That's the first thing I learned when I got to

714
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 4: Los Angeles. It's how to cry on command. It had

715
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 4: nothing to do with acting. It's just it was that's

716
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 4: what the city did to me. Did you really was

717

Speaker 1: Can we be normal? Thank god?

728
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,920

729
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 4: it had.

730
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: To be awful, you know, it really wasn't.

731
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 5: And I because, well, huh, the whole reason I love

732
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 5: Medieval Times so much. And I went my high school

733
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 5: Merching band went when I was sixteen or something to

734
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 5: the to the Medieval Times in Toronto, and I loved

735
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 5: it so much that as soon as I went to

736
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 5: college outside Chicago, and there's in Medieval Times in Shamberg, Illinois, and.

737
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: I was like, I gotta work there. I'll do whatever.

738
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 5: And it was it was fifty miles away from the

739
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 5: town where I went to college in, so I was

740
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 5: like worth it.

741
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 2: I will drive one hundred miles round trip.

742
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 5: Every Friday, Saturday, Sunday to get paid six dollars and

743
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 5: fifty cents an hour just to be in this world.

744
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 1: It would be fun to be that character all day.

745
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: I would like that.

746
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I loved it, but I didn't really.

747
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 5: I also wasn't interacting with the guests as closely as sure.

748
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you were interacting with them, that would be

749
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 4: too close of a photo.

750
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: From the wench.

751
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 4: You have to from a distance take a good photo,

752
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 4: is what I'm saying. My knowledge of photography is that

753
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 4: you don't have to be six inches.

754
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 3: Away, and that's very true.

755
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 5: But what we would do, like the serving the serving

756
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 5: staff would come by and they would like they would

757
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 5: get you know, called on for drinks and stuff like that.

758
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 5: So they were like getting uh called to more. And

759
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 5: I do remember going once and our server was like,

760
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 5: you can call me my name, you can call me this,

761
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,320

00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 4: that's not They have changed that, mabe.

766
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have.

767
00:39:58,560 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

768
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 3: Were you in a different area like people came to

769
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 3: get their picture from you?

770
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: Yes?

771
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 2: Well, oh so my job was it was a small staff.

Speaker 5: There was like seven of us maybe, and what we

773
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 5: would do is, have you been to Medieval Times?

774
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: Yes? I have a follow up story that I'm very glad.

775
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,440

Speaker 2: They were like, do you have strobe lights? And they're like, no,

780
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: it's fine.

781
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 3: And then we get there and there's huge signs going

782
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 3: no strobe lights, be warned. So we all like had

783
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: to get We all like looked each other and just

00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 3: got back in the car and you know, went somewhere else.

785
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

786
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 3: It was really disappointing, and I felt so guilty. And

787
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 3: then like three people in the group were like, I'm

788
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 3: really glad we're leaving. I'm really excited we don't have

789
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: to do this. And I was like, oh, thank god. Yeah,

790
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 3: I did it feel too bad? Yeah, all that sucks.

791
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, they do like light a light show with some

792
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 5: of the Yeah, it's but that's so disappointing that they

793
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 5: weren't upfront about that to begin with.

794
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 3: You know, the strobe lights of medieval times are represented

795
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 3: accurately and they are good.

796
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 5: That's fine, and they are and you know so and

797
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 5: as you know, as is us taking pictures with cameras

798
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 5: and trying to.

799
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 2: Sell you little key chains with your pictures in it.

800
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 5: But that's kind of what we would do is people

801
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 5: would come in and we would take pictures of groups together.

802
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 5: And it varies from like franchise to franchise, like sometimes

803
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 5: the king will be out there or the queen and

804
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 5: you get to take pictures with the queen. But we

805
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 5: would just do I don't know why we didn't have

806
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 5: a character out there, but we would just take in

807
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 5: front of a backdrop, take group pictures of the people,

808
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 5: and we'd have them hold up their table numbers so

809
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 5: we see like the color, like they're in the yellow

810
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 5: section and they're at table nine or whatever. But it's

811
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 5: like kind of a terrible picture to just have you

812
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: like just holding up your table, but we're like whatever,

813
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter, so we would take the picture. We'd

814
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 5: go after like the show had started and the audience

815
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 5: was in the arena, we would go up to the

816
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 5: photo lab and we'd print off these like you know,

817
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 5: souvenir booklets and.

818
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 2: Keychains.

819
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 5: As I mentioned before, there are keychains, and you know,

820
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 5: the different size copies of the photo. We put them

821
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 5: in packets and then we'd each get like a stack

822
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 5: of packets and we'd have a flashlight and we'd have

823
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 5: to go into the arena and try to sell them

824
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 5: to people during the shop.

825
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: Flashlights, not a torch, that's what.

826
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 5: It's something about the photos being flammable as well as

827
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 5: our costumes.

828
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 2: But but I was so bad at selling those packets.

829
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: But because also.

830
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 5: There's like most of the pictures was like a child's

831
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 5: head seven feet of like space of the backdrop and

832
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 5: then a little table card in the corner.

833
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 2: These were not good photos.

834
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 5: But but you know, my cowork is sell a lot

835
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 5: of them.

836
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: But I just couldn't do it.

837
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: So anyway, that was a chop. That's great.

838
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they should have a monitor so you just

839
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 4: point at it, you know, like at a roller coaster.

840
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

841
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 5: It's also so wasteful because we would print them ahead

842
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 5: of all, so like people wouldn't even say we want them.

843
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it.

844
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 2: Was like part of the experience. I guess as you

845
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: just get.

846
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: To well, I guess I shouldn't have framed it. My lord,

847
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: I wonder.

848
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 3: If any cheap dads go and go through the dumpster

849
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 3: at the end of the night and be like, here

850
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 3: it is.

851
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 2: I'm not fans of yeah either.

852
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it was twenty dollars. Oh shit, those

853
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 5: packets were twenty dollars. That's Schomberg for you tell you what?

854
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Mary.

855
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 4: Do you know like Jordan Morris and Hal Roudneck Yeah,

856
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 4: h yeah, yeah.

857
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: We went.

858
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 4: So we worked for this thing called Fuel TV. It

859
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 4: was like a skateboard snowboard network. But we had to

860
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 4: do these pack these go to events, and so we

861
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 4: went to Vegas.

862
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a Medieval Times.

863
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 4: It may have been like a a rip off of it.

864
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 4: Maybe it was Medieval Times. But we just were going

865
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 4: to interview some nights and be in characters standard yeah, yeah,

866
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 4: being characters and do jokes and then put together an

867
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 4: interview montage. But they wrote us into the show onto

868
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 4: the act like we and we they just said, oh,

869
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 4: you're going to be part of the show.

870
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: You and we had marks that we had.

871
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 4: I had to run in the mud in full armor

872
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 4: and a horse like got up on its hind legs

873
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 4: right above me, and that's where the strobe lights came.

874
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 4: In they they shot red lights on them, so it

875
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 4: seemed like a red knight, like from the Fisher King

876
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 4: or something. Yeah, and then Jan had to fall fall

877
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 4: and I had to lift him up. And I'm realizing

878
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 4: now that they were messing with us because I had

879
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 4: to run with Jordan on my back through the mud

880
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 4: and I was sore.

881
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: I like pulled a muscle in my leg. They were

882
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: probably laughing at us.

883
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 4: I had to a guy's fully swung at me with

884
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 4: a sword and I had break up with a sword

885
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 4: that they left in the mud.

886
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: It was insane and horrifying.

887
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 4: It was stunt work and we were not We're like, oh,

888
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 4: you don't have to put us in the show, and

889
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 4: they're like, oh, you're in the show.

890
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 2: It was so did you have a rehearsal or were

891
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 2: they just.

892
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 4: Like like looking at a piece of paper, Oh, you'll

893
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 4: run see this out there. You'll run out there, and

894
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 4: that's when the first horse comes. There's an argument that's

895
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 4: when you pick up the sword, then your friend will

896
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 4: be on the ground. I can't remember the whole scene

897
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 4: or the storyline.

898
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 2: Yes, I can't.

899
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 4: The fact that I had to run with Jordans in

900
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 4: wet horse mud and poop.

901
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: Wearing. There was poop. No one warned me about that.

902
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 4: I can't believe. I, you know, rubbed it in my

903
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 4: face for good luck.

904
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: Anyway.

905
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 4: It was horrifying, Chris, I was sure, I know, I

906
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 4: don't know why. I you know, before a scene you

907
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 4: have to rub the dirt on your face.

908
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

909
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 1: It was absolutely horrifying.

910
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 4: And I couldn't walk the next day, like the wow,

911
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 4: yeah it was so I then.

912
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 2: You Sue, and now you own that I could have.

913
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I could. No, I just got a free stein.

914
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 5: Of mead.

915
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: It's Miller light. Yeah, so scary.

916
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 2: God, what a crazy I'm so jealous of that experience.

917
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: I would have. All I wanted was to get in

918
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 2: that arena.

919
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I did, you have to work up to it.

920
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 3: Was it like if you started the photography lunch some

921
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 3: day you might be able.

922
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: To right right?

923
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: No, No, there was no ladder.

924
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 5: There was from photography wunch, but I did there. The

925
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 5: Lord Chancellor, who sort of is the n sea of

926
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 5: the night, he was also in charge of casting, and

927
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 5: so I would I would always, like, you know, whenever

Speaker 5: he would be I was like, oh my god, he's

929
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 5: so glorious. And one time I was standing at the

930
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 5: photo We set up a booth after the show where

931
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 5: people can come and if they didn't buy the packete

932
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 5: during the show, they have like another option before they leave.

933
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 5: And so I was standing there with my coworker, who

934
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 5: is this really lovely woman, and the Lord Chancellor came

935
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 5: up to us and I was like, oh, it's the

Speaker 5: Lord Chancellor and he he like he did the thing,

937
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 5: was like he was looking at me and he smiled,

938
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 5: and then he turned his attention to the girl next

939
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 5: to me and was like, excuse me, are you an actress?

940
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 2: And I was like I was inside.

Speaker 1: I was like and she was like no, and.

942
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 5: He was like, well, I'm you know, we're looking for

943
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 5: actresses to play the part of the princess in the story.

944
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: And I was.

945
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 5: Like, that's all I wanted, but he like gave her.

946
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 5: I didn't say anything in the moment, you know, because

947
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 5: he wasn't talking to me, but he gave her like

948
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 5: information for an audition. So I think you can like

949
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 5: get scouted, I guess to be a part of the show.

950
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 5: I'm sure there are like regular auditions too, but it

951
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 5: was heartbreaking.

952
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 3: You have to catch the Lord Chancellor's eye essentially.

953
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 4: Did you have to do people stay in character when

954
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 4: there is the show isn't happening, like permissioner use the bathroom,

955
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 4: my vassal, stuff like that, did you I mean, I

956
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 4: imagine people staying characters.

957
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 5: Well, I really wanted to. I was because I was

958
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 5: also like I was really into Lord of the Rings.

959
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 5: I was like listening to the soundtrack to him from work.

960
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 2: So I actually.

961
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 1: Didn't have any friends at work.

962
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 5: I didn't like, I didn't talk to people. I sort

963
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 5: of like showed up. I got like my corset and

964
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 5: my clothes, and I just like, yeah, stayed in character,

965
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 5: I guess whole time. But my character was it wasn't

966
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 5: like a it wasn't like a super strong character or anything.

967
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 2: It was just like you know, I but I just didn't.

968
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 2: I didn't ever drop out of it, I guess.

969
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 5: And yeah, you know, planned to go to tjive Fridays

970
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 5: with anybody you know?

971
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:16,439
Speaker 1: Right right?

972
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 4: Well, I guess I do that. During Halloween. I've realized

973
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 4: it's not that bad to stay in character with your costume,

974
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 4: you know, or I've done it. They have like a

975
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 4: Renaissance festival here and I went with a group of

976
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 4: people and they all some of my nerdier friends, and

977
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 4: they all stayed in character. And so I'm like, I

978
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 4: just got quiet. That's where I didn't want to do it.

979
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 4: I just I'm like, no, I'm eating another period turkey leg.

980
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 4: You know, I'm doing my part.

981
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love it. I love that whole world. I

982
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 5: just I just really eat it up. So, yeah, that

983
00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 5: was my that was my first ever job.

984
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 3: That's a great first job. What a kind of like

985
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 3: what a standard to set, whereas like some people work

986
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 3: at ed the Bevick's. But you're just like, no, I've

987
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 3: gone back in time to take photos.

988
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: That's right.

989
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 5: No, I uh yeah, yeah that was I would accept

990
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 5: no less. At that time, I didn't I didn't really

991
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 5: understand how jobs worked. And I was like, no, no,

992
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 5: it has to be fulfilling a fantasy.

993
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: Many job I work has to fulfill a fantasy.

994
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 3: And sorry, you were driving? Did it take you half

995
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 3: an hour? Did it take you?

996
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 2: It took me an hour down and an hour back?

997
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. Yeah, that's hilarious.

998
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 5: So I paid to work there.

999
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 3: Yet in many ways, now you're Mary. You're the kind

1000
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 3: of person that I feel like, I feel like I

1001
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 3: went to college with you. I feel like I've known

1002
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 3: you for a really long.

1003
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: Time and I feel the same way.

1004
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 3: It's really weird, but we actually I'm like, but did

1005
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 3: we first meet, like with me doing Askcat or the

1006
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 3: UCB show.

1007
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 2: Yes, that that was the first time we met.

1008
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 5: I remember we were backstage and you had written.

1009
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 2: For Space, Yes, Space, Other Space.

1010
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 5: And it was right before we were about to go

1011
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 5: on and you you mentioned that you were writing for

1012
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 5: that show, and I fell head over heels for you.

1013
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 5: And I mean not because of that fact, because then I,

1014
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 5: you know, saw you perform and do your thing and

1015
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 5: was madly in love and then and I think my

1016
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 5: favorite Murder was relatively young at that time, but Betsy

1017
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 5: Star was backstage with us and she was like talking

1018
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 5: to you about your podcast and I was like, what

1019
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 5: is this podcast? And then I started listening to it,

1020
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 5: and Karen, you are in my ear.

1021
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 2: For hours every week.

1022
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 5: So I really feel like we have a very long,

1023
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 5: very long history.

1024
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: But that means a lot that that it's a mutual

1025
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 2: feeling because.

1026
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 3: I yeah, yeah, oh same sick well. And also, I

1027
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 3: you know, improv is the kind of thing I've talked

1028
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 3: about this and you and I've talked about this before,

1029
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 3: because I I feel like the improv and stand up

1030
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 3: are opposite, where improv is anything goes, stay in the moment,

1031
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 3: see what other people are doing right, And for me

1032
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 3: that is it's so scary and so horrifying, and I

1033
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 3: trust no one and I need to get the big

1034
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 3: laugh myself and I don't give a fuck about anybody,

1035
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 3: you know.

1036
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 2: So I have such a.

1037
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 3: Competitive kind of controlling thing about performing where stand up

1038
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 3: it suits. But my friend tricked me into taking an

1039
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 3: improv class one time, and I it cracked me open,

1040
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 3: where I was like, oh, all of that is like neurosis,

1041
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,919
Speaker 3: and if you can actually play against that and give

1042
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 3: into anything could happen and you will be fine if

1043
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 3: you just trust this moment whatever. So then I got

1044
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 3: this appreciation for improv and what improv people do and

1045
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 3: when you're good at improv, what an amazing thing that is.

1046
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 3: So like I'm so from the nineties where like coming up,

1047
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 3: it was like if you're in stand up, you think

1048
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 3: improv is dumb and you have to stand against the

1049
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 3: other team like that weird pre internet competitive weirdness. So

1050
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 3: when I when I first started getting asked to do

1051
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 3: shows like that, I was like you got to put

1052
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 3: all that weird shit down that like and just give over.

1053
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 3: That's like you have to play their game because because

1054
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 3: that's because it's a good the skills are really important

1055
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 3: as a performer, like being open and being calm and

1056
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 3: being confident and all those kind of all those things.

1057
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 3: So doing it with you guys, you know, and the

1058
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 3: team that you guys had, I mean every time, it

1059
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 3: was like I felt like I was telling these stories

1060
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,760
Speaker 3: that were like, oh, I don't know, here's a story

1061
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 3: about my dentist because someone suggested flash sure, right, and

1062
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 3: it's just like this, I'm not giving them anything, and

1063
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 3: this is like, in terms of stand up, this is

1064
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 3: a failure. And then you guys would do this scene

1065
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 3: where it would be fucking amazing and hilarious and you're

1066
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:18,919
Speaker 3: just like, holy shit.

1067
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 4: One of the more I did not expect it or

1068
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 4: know how self indulgent it would feel to be an

1069
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 4: ascat monologust and then watch your story come to life.

1070
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 4: It's like so self fulfilling.

1071
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 1: I didn't.

1072
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,919
Speaker 4: I'm like, this is the coolest thing I've ever experienced.

1073
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 4: A share and watch your story come to Like I

1074
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 4: did it a couple of times and I I, it

1075
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 4: was so exciting, and I'm like, so exciting. Yeah, it's

1076
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 4: such a funny. I did not see it coming. How

1077
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:52,959
Speaker 4: how it put me in a good mood for.

1078
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I rested the year that because it is such

1079
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 5: an improv is such a collaborative art form. But I

1080
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 5: really loved the ASCAT format so much for that reason,

1081
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 5: where it felt like we were all working together to

1082
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 5: make the show, like it was the monologist and that

1083
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 5: was the improvisers, and we all like create it.

1084
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 2: The show couldn't exist without either component.

1085
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 4: And it was so actually called not a herald, but

1086
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 4: a a name.

1087
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: It's an Armando, no Armando.

1088
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 4: I just wanted to put in a plan, a seed

1089
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 4: that I do indeed have a training and improv and

1090
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 4: I was background, well, it's wallpaper, no, And I was

1091
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 4: bad at it because I, like Karen said, I would.

1092
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 4: I really noticed the contrast when I would when I

1093
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 4: moved to Austin because of an improv festival, and then

1094
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,760
Speaker 4: I immediately started doing stand up. There was nights where

1095
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 4: I would do improv with and it was short form

1096
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 4: games and then afterwards I stand up and I would

1097
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,959
Speaker 4: either suck at one or the other because they're two

1098
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 4: different mindsets and building a scene with other people and

1099
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 4: being that open and listening and not trying to get

1100
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 4: I would just get a joke in and they'd roll

1101
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 4: their eyes probably and I'm like, or I would suck,

1102
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 4: and then I'd do well at stand up but never

1103
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 4: in the same night, I realized that it wasn't so

1104
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 4: much a competitiveness, but that was there, Karen, Like you said,

1105
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 4: like improv people don't hang out with stand up people,

1106
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 4: I'm like, why I don't. I like both made up,

1107
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 4: but it was really hard to be a part of both.

1108
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: It was two parts of my brain. I maybe that's

1109
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: just me, but it.

1110
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 2: Makes me think.

1111
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 3: The first time I did that improv class, the first time,

1112
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 3: I because I just said no, I'm auditing.

1113
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 2: Because I was.

1114
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 3: It scared me to death. I was like, so sorry,

1115
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 3: you're saying I don't get to control everything, and like

1116
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 3: it was like saying basically saying, put your entire personality

1117
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 3: down that you have been cultivating for you know, twenty

1118
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 3: five years, and then good luck. I was like, this

1119
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,439
Speaker 3: is horrifying. So the very first scene I was in,

1120
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 3: you know, I have to pick my action, so of

1121
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 3: course start flipping burgers because deep down. I'm not a

1122
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 3: creative person at all, is how it felt. And I'm

1123
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 3: sitting there flipping burgers and the guy enters the scene

1124
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 3: and I just very slowly.

1125
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 2: Turned my back. And it was Chris Barnes, who was

1126
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 2: the teacher, and he's like, hey, Karen, what are you doing?

1127
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 3: He's like, you have to acknowledge a person came into

1128
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 3: your burger join or whatever.

1129
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 2: I was just like, oh, yeah, I just did. I

1130
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 2: don't want to.

1131
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to interact with it.

1132
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 4: You know, you're choosing, Yeah, you're choosing to basically ignore someone.

1133
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 3: And the whole point of you standing there is to say, hey,

1134
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 3: what's up? Like, Hey, why are you in my burger joint? Yeah?

1135
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 3: And it was the funniest like it's just like, well, sorry,

1136
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 3: these are my instincts.

1137
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 2: My instinct is to turn my back. That's who I am.

1138
00:57:59,240 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: I guess I have to.

1139
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, but in your defense, what burger joint you walk

1140
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 4: in and it's the cook's job to say welcome, And.

1141
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: That's exactly It's kind of.

1142
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, he was snoozing on his part the why

1143
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 4: can I get something from you?

1144
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 2: In the line? Cook, also get out of the kitchen.

1145
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 5: What are you doing?

1146
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, why did you walk in?

1147
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 4: And that it's so funny because you immediately went to

1148
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 4: flipping burgers. That the clip that they sent here, I

1149
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 4: just watched where U you all did improv on meltdown

1150
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 4: and every suggestion they're like apples and you all just

1151
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 4: start picking apples and what.

1152
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1153
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 4: There was just everything you in Unison knew that you

1154
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 4: just had to do all do the same actions. No

1155
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 4: one was ever going to be the customer or even

1156
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 4: holding a basket of apples.

1157
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: Ye, just the same everyone match match.

1158
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is because I also, like I taught after

1159
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 5: going through UCP and performing there for a while, I

1160
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 5: was teaching classes and with coach and stuff and and

1161
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 5: it's so it's it is such a crazy thing because

1162
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 5: obviously you're working towards being funny. Yeah, right, but you

1163
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 5: really have to you almost have to be like I'm

1164
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 5: not going to even try to be funny. Like we

1165
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 5: would encourage people to like don't worry about comedy right now.

1166
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 5: It's like just like, h be exist in this like space,

1167
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 5: exist in the burger joint. Don't worry about how it's

1168
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 5: going to be funny or like try to make something happen,

1169
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 5: like you can just like base level, just exist and

1170
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 5: make it feel real, but that makes no sense to

1171
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 5: our bodies that are like why am I on stage

1172
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 5: right now?

1173
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 3: Yes, it felt very dangerous to be on stage but

1174
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 3: not be giving people anything to justify my burger flipping existence.

1175
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just.

1176
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 2: Like I can't just stand here.

1177
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 3: Yes, I can't just stand here, and I also can't

1178
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 3: figure out what you're about to do, so I can't

1179
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 3: acknowledge you like the decision making.

1180
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 2: And I think that was.

1181
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 3: Really what my kind of fear was that all I

1182
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 3: did was learn you're afraid of it because yeah, it

1183
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 3: doesn't really work. So like the whole idea of going

1184
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,959
Speaker 3: to these classes, and I really love Chris Barnes because

1185
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 3: he was such a good teacher and he was so

1186
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 3: just like that exact thing of you're not writing this

1187
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 3: scene and you're not in control of what the other

1188
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 3: person does. It's all just about how you react to

1189
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 3: what ends up happening. And you do that all day,

1190
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 3: so you already know how to do this. It's not

1191
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 3: from living life.

1192
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 2: Yes exactly.

1193
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 3: It's like it's not that big of a deal where

1194
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 3: to me it was all like, yeah, even if the

1195
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 3: stage is only half an inch above the floor, you're

1196
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 3: on stage, so you better be like, hello my baby. Yeah,

1197
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 3: given given a thousand persons.

1198
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 2: You better Hello my baby all over that.

1199
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: Stage because it's a catchy song.

1200
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 2: Well it's so vulnerable.

1201
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 5: I think that's like what it comes down to is

1202
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 5: like it really requires uh, you're just so raw and

1203
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 5: so exposed and yes, so vulnerable, like people will not laugh,

1204
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 5: is what I tell myself all the time.

1205
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 2: But that is after.

1206
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 5: I guess, like if you do it so much, you

1207
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 5: just get desensitized to that and you feel okay, I guess.

1208
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 3: Being that kind of well, that's the that's where the

1209
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 3: power is because if you can, if you understand that

1210
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 3: getting vulnerable is what's going to bring something and like

1211
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 3: that that's people are in the audience watching you do it.

1212
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 3: Because even just getting to the vulnerable vulnerable part, like

1213
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 3: the first time I did askat with you guys, where

1214
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 3: I knew I was like, there's gonna be some like

1215
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 3: heavy hitters here and then are you gonna be the

1216
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 3: wink link? And it was all that shinny Like that's

1217
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 3: the kind of like the negative talk that I think

1218
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 3: is gonna get me somewhere where it's like no, no, no,

1219
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 3: no no, And I was just like, here's the key.

1220
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 3: They know that you are having to basically make something up,

1221
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 3: tell a story based on a suggestion. Yes, so it's

1222
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 3: not like I had to bring here's my best stories,

1223
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 3: because it's not about that. Yeah, and that's what makes

1224
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 3: it like, yeah, sit there and think about it for

1225
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 3: a second, and then just tell the most interesting story,

1226
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 3: not the funniest or not the most like punchy. But like,

1227
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 3: all you can do is what they give you. Wait, like,

1228
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 3: try to think of something around what they give you

1229
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 3: and be specific so that the actual improvisers have something

1230
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 3: to do as opposed to like get a bunch of

1231
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 3: laughs and then sit down across your arms. It's like

1232
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 3: you're here in service of that later scene, so just

1233
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 3: be in service and thank fucking God, because I was

1234
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 3: just like it was that feeling of like, of course

1235
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 3: I have the compulsion and the like lifelong you know,

1236
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 3: mental illness of I have to be funny and I

1237
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 3: have to make a joke. But then there was this

1238
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 3: weird like oh but yeah, he said, and I'll never

1239
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 3: forget it because the first suggestion was floss and I was.

1240
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 2: Just like, are you fucking kidding me?

1241
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 3: Like I'm trying to I'm trying to oppress these people

1242
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to this and I'm trying to that.

1243
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 3: And it was like, Nope, you have to now be

1244
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 3: here and sincerely think of what this makes you think

1245
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 3: of and talk about it.

1246
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 2: And you were perfect. You're perfect.

1247
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: Thank you.

1248
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 3: It was so fun though, because it was that thing

1249
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 3: of a different way of getting to the same results

1250
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 3: where it's like I won't be the engine and I

1251
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 3: won't be the writer. I'm just I'm just trying to,

1252
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 3: you know, get a bunch of stuff going. Yeah, they

1253
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 3: have something to.

1254
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 4: Do, Yes, yes, can I admit something? Uh, there was

1255
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 4: there was something good. Let's keep this in not safe space.

1256
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 4: When I there was something that was acted out when

1257
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 4: I did my monologue and I added it to a

1258
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 4: joke because I knew it was never going to happen again.

1259
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 4: So they actually wrote one of my jokes. I'm like, oh,

1260
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 4: that's oh. It was about uh my mom dressing me

1261
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 4: up as a crossing guard and there being an actual

1262
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 4: crossing guard on duty.

1263
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: That's what the real life side of it.

1264
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 4: But the way they acted it out, it's like, oh,

1265
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 4: that would be funny if that was one of the

1266
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 4: things I was concerned about. I think kidnappers are something.

1267
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 4: I added that, and it was an idea got because

1268
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 4: I was like, oh no, I was worried about that.

1269
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 4: I forgot that until they reminded me, So it wasn't

1270
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 4: an actual theft. They just reminded me of my own

1271
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 4: similar thought. No, yeah, that's so fun.

1272
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is the fun part though. It is like

1273
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 3: you're kind of a part of something that has everything

1274
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 3: to do with you and nothing to do with you,

1275
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 3: so you can like, you know, I don't know, it's

1276
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 3: it's it's funny. And then there were some parts where

1277
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 3: like I remember one scene where it was like I

1278
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 3: really was just stretching and I was like trying to

1279
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 3: think of something, and I told a weird story about

1280
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 3: the first time I went to an Indian restaurant with

1281
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 3: my aunt and uncle in San Francisco.

1282
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 2: We're all sitting cross legging on the ground.

1283
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 3: Or whatever, and it was the it turned into it

1284
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 3: was almost like we're not sure what to do with this,

1285
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 3: and that became the joke where it was like it

1286
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 3: was like it was almost like I started realizing, like, oh,

1287
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 3: you can't fail in this world.

1288
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, you can't.

1289
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 5: Which is it's such a beautiful it's well, I love

1290
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 5: improvs so much for that reason, where uh, I think

1291
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 5: that's such a human thing to think, how how am

1292
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 5: I going to survive in this situation? And in a

1293
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 5: comedy show, the way to survive is to be funny.

1294
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 5: And you can be funny by like trying to out

1295
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 5: funny the people while you're on stage with But but

1296
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 5: the actual, the beautiful thing about improv is, as you said, Karen,

1297
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 5: like it has everything to do with you and nothing

1298
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 5: to do with you, and you cannot fail. Like even

1299
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 5: when I would get and I still get nervous before

1300
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 5: shows and everything, but.

1301
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,439
Speaker 2: I just sort of what helps.

1302
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 5: Like release that is just being like I don't have

1303
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 5: to worry about any of it, Like all these people

1304
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 5: are on stage with me and we will figure it out.

1305
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 2: It's like this blanket trust you have that no matter

1306
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 2: what you do, you will be supported. Yes, and it's

1344
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,360

01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:41,960

01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 3: I'm here to remind you.

1351
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody remember three months ago when these people wanted

1352
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: to hear these jokes.

1353
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 3: I'm afraid you're gonna forget about quarantine and COVID. So

1354
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:05,479

1357
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 3: you have to do it. It's the funniest, most magical.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

1361
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:22,759
Speaker 2: We Wild Horses.

1362
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 5: We do have a show coming up May twenty ninth

1363
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,520
Speaker 5: at the Dynasty Typewriter Theater in Los Angeles.

1364
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 1: But it is cool.

1365
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 5: What they're doing is they're doing a hybrid thing where

1366
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 5: they're live streaming the show and they'll have an audience.

1367
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 2: Have y'all performed there? Yes, it's so cool.

1368
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 4: But it's been a while since because for a while

1369
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 4: everything was live streaming, and I mean I was doing

1370
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 4: shows to have a silent void with the zoom participants

1371
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 4: or audience muted, you know, and I thought that was

1372
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 4: actually a good exercise, but I was getting tired of it.

1373
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,799
Speaker 4: But a lot of people miss being able to watch

1374
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,799
Speaker 4: shows from there, like those streaming.

1375
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 1: I forget that.

1376
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 4: Maybe the audiences we're enjoying those, and so it's cool

1377
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 4: that you're providing both.

1378
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, that's yeah, that's.

1379
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 2: It's It's very cool. So we'll do that on May

1380
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,440
Speaker 2: twenty ninth, five pm.

1381
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, is it a nice Sunday afternoon?
