Speaker 1: This is he said, a ya viho with Eric Winter
Speaker 1: and Rosalind santav.
Speaker 2: All Right, everybody, welcome back to another episode of he said.
Speaker 2: He said, this is getting really lonely with my wife
Speaker 2: gone in Puerto Rico for so long. In fact, it's
Speaker 2: delaying a little bit more because the island's being hit
Speaker 2: by a hurricane as we speak. I think it's approaching
Speaker 2: now in the next few hours, which is crazy. So
Speaker 2: her production has been shut down for two days. She
Speaker 2: had to move locations because the generator issues, and now
Speaker 2: she's in a hotel in San Juan. They are now
Speaker 2: behind a couple of days, which is a huge bummer.
Speaker 2: But you know what, everybody's safe. Everybody's doing okay. They
Speaker 2: knew there was a chance because they were filming during
Speaker 2: hurricane season that you know, something like this could happen.
Speaker 2: Of course they It just happened to hit the last
Speaker 2: week of filming, which is a super bummer. But other
Speaker 2: than that, she's doing good, you know, crushing it. Things
Speaker 2: are going well and I'm I'm holding down things here,
Speaker 2: working like crazy. Kids are still out of school. We
Speaker 2: have two more weeks before they're back. LA Unified went back,
Speaker 2: but some of the private schools have not yet, so
Speaker 2: we are waiting. But Dylan's excited to start first. Sebby's
Speaker 2: going nuts going into junior high. It's so much work
Speaker 2: in a fun way. But kids are not easy.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: I mean they are easy, but there's so much to balance, right,
Speaker 2: There's so much, especially going into the teenage yeers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's interesting. It's a ride. It's a ride, something
Speaker 2: to look back on and go, Okay, I remember when
Speaker 2: I was like that.
Speaker 3: I had such a blast.
Speaker 2: By the way, with Jonathan Mark, the medium that was
Speaker 2: on the last episode, it was really look. We didn't
Speaker 2: get to talk about about it much, but everything he
Speaker 2: was saying regarding my dad was pretty spot on. I
Speaker 2: will say there was there were definitely things he wouldn't know.
Speaker 2: He absolutely there's no way. It's not a Wikipedia, it's
Speaker 2: not you can't google any of these things. Stuff he
Speaker 2: was saying was fully accurate it and not something he
Speaker 2: could possibly have figured out.
Speaker 3: So that's always mind blowing.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to do a private reading with him,
Speaker 2: and maybe I will share that as well on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Some of the findings and what we uncover, but everything
Speaker 2: else has been smooth, you know, working hard on Palm Republic. Everybody,
Speaker 2: please continue to check us out on our social channels,
Speaker 2: Palm Republic rum our website, palm republic rum dot com.
Speaker 2: It has been a lot of fun, uh makeing a
Speaker 2: lot of headway, great things coming. It's it's it's really interesting,
Speaker 2: you know, building a business from the ground up, being
Speaker 2: a part of that that journey and taking so much
Speaker 2: ownership in it because I am I'm extremely passionate about
Speaker 2: the company and and everything I've I've poured so much
Speaker 2: into it. So it's like watching a little another little
Speaker 2: baby grow up. So it's been fun. It's been fun.
Speaker 2: I have great support, you know, Group to investors are
Speaker 2: phenomenal and my partner, Brat is amazing. So we've been
Speaker 2: very uh at a very good place. And after a
Speaker 2: good start. A lot of my cast has been getting
Speaker 2: gift boxes there over the moon, sharing it and it's
Speaker 2: it's so appreciative, so appreciated by you know, by me.
Speaker 2: I just love the fact that they are so supportive
Speaker 2: of what I'm doing and out there, you know, putting
Speaker 2: on their social channels and and they actually are fans,
Speaker 2: you know, they love it. They're they're sipping on it.
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's what's going on with me. It's like
Speaker 2: I said, it's been busy. We're gonna jump into some
Speaker 2: more audience questions because it seems like you guys have
Speaker 2: really been enjoying these.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I know it's not as fun when my wife isn't here,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna tackle it the best I can and
Speaker 2: we will pop through some more of these and hopefully
Speaker 2: I have a guest on another upcoming episode very soon.
Speaker 2: Let's start with Lynn Presley. Uh, you've had a bad
Speaker 2: case of Olympic fever. Okay, Hypothetically, if I was to
Speaker 2: be an Olympic athlete, what would my sport be?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: While it's a good question, if I would have been
Speaker 2: an athlete in the Olympics, probably volleyball. To be honest,
Speaker 2: I played football and volleyball, you know, a big chunk
Speaker 2: of my life. I'm a huge fan of both sports.
Speaker 2: But I loved I love volleyball, which is obviously an
Speaker 2: Olympic sport, and I think that would have probably been
Speaker 2: the one I would have pursued. A good old team sport.
Speaker 2: And I was watching a lot of the Olympics. I
Speaker 2: can't say I was watching all of them. It wasn't
Speaker 2: I just didn't have as much time because I was
Speaker 2: in Puerto Rico for a lot of it, and that
Speaker 2: made it tough and I didn't get to see as
Speaker 2: much as I would have liked to. But I got
Speaker 2: to see some of the big ones. The women winning
Speaker 2: gold and soccer was incredible. That was so fun to watch.
Speaker 2: I mean against Brazil too, of all of all countries,
Speaker 2: it was quite the win for the US. And I think, listen,
Speaker 2: breakdancing should never have been in the Olympics. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go out there and say it.
Speaker 3: I think breakdancing is awesome, big fan.
Speaker 2: I don't get why, of all the dance disciplines, that
Speaker 2: was the one they decided to put in the Olympics.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard, it's very acrobatic, for sure, but
Speaker 2: there are plenty of plenty of other dance since that
Speaker 2: have been around for you know, years and hundreds of
Speaker 2: years that I think would have made great sports, even
Speaker 2: partner dancing. It could have had some ballroom, could have
Speaker 2: had some Latin ballrooms, some salsa stuff like that, you know,
Speaker 2: could have had ballet. You kind of get that with
Speaker 2: the water sports. There's obviously a lot of that ballet
Speaker 2: going on in the water side of things, but I
Speaker 2: don't know, break dancing felt a little weird to me. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Australia had had a very the women's group had a
Speaker 2: very interesting run with our our girl who is the
Speaker 2: teacher and doing the kangaroo hop.
Speaker 3: That was a trip.
Speaker 2: You know, Let's see what Let's see what we bring
Speaker 2: the Olympics when they get here in Los Angeles in
Speaker 2: four years. I'm excited to hear baseball might be coming back,
Speaker 2: which would be fun. Okay, Auia Cruz Wasabella have a
Speaker 2: Kincignana or sweet sixteen, that's a great question. I think
Speaker 2: Roz would like her to have a Kinciinneta. I'm totally
Speaker 2: open to that for sure. By the way, either way,
Speaker 2: it'll be a big celebrat for sixteenth and I'm sure
Speaker 2: we will probably you know, phrase it as at Kinsynata.
Speaker 2: That would be a lot of fun to watch my
Speaker 2: daughter go through that, like my wife would have, you know,
Speaker 2: back when she was sixteen.
Speaker 3: So I think that would be very cool and we will.
Speaker 2: We're talking about doing a baptism from Dylan obviously. Actually
Speaker 2: the next time we go back to Puerto Rico because
Speaker 2: Sebbi had hers when she was very little. Dylan has
Speaker 2: yet to be baptized in Puerto Rico, so that's on
Speaker 2: our agenda for one of our next trips back. He's
Speaker 2: excited about it. Yeah, so that's that's something else going on.
Speaker 2: I know you're asking about Roslin's film. It's kind of
Speaker 2: like what I alluded to. It's been going great. There's
Speaker 2: hurricanes making things more difficult, and then they start editing
Speaker 2: next week. They are already when you start filming, you're
Speaker 2: making a movie, there's already editing going on.
Speaker 3: Along the way.
Speaker 2: But now there'll be you know, the full blow in
Speaker 2: her sitting in editing for at least the first first
Speaker 2: five to seven days to get everything off to the
Speaker 2: right start before she can finally hit home.
Speaker 3: That's the plan.
Speaker 2: And once that and then she'll continue the editing process
Speaker 2: via zoom from over here. But we got to get
Speaker 2: her back, got to get her back. It's been a
Speaker 2: long time, Lynn, just wondering if you had any part
Speaker 2: time jobs as a kid.
Speaker 3: I did my first job.
Speaker 2: My first job was working at Pizza Hut, believe it
Speaker 2: or not, when I was in high school. I think
Speaker 2: it was over the summer. I did Pizza Hut for
Speaker 2: at least six months, made enough money to buy myself
Speaker 2: a new pop off face radio for my car, which
Speaker 2: was such a big deal. Then you could, you know,
Speaker 2: push the button, the whole face would pop off and
Speaker 2: you'd carry that face around like you were super cool
Speaker 2: or the.
Speaker 3: Old or you just put a handle on.
Speaker 2: You'd pull the whole radio out of your car pretty
Speaker 2: much and think that was cool to walk around with,
Speaker 2: so that whenever you got broken into, they couldn't steal
Speaker 2: your radio. Funny enough, that was my first big splurge
Speaker 2: from my part time job. Let's see, I definitely want
Speaker 2: the kids to be you know, finding a part time
Speaker 2: job when the time is right and getting them out
Speaker 2: there to learn what the workforce is going to be.
Speaker 2: I think it's so important for kids to do that
Speaker 2: at the right age, start working and understanding.
Speaker 3: What it is like, you know, what it's like in
Speaker 3: the real world.
Speaker 2: Would you encourage Sebbian Dillan to go down the road, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess I just answered that. I do think it's
Speaker 2: a very important way of respond you know, in teaching
Speaker 2: them about great financial responsibility and instilling that in uh,
Speaker 2: in their in their mind and their actions. You know,
Speaker 2: we try to do it even now at home. You know,
Speaker 2: when they want things, it can't just always be I want,
Speaker 2: I want. It's like you have to do some stuff
Speaker 2: around the house, find a way to help, and you
Speaker 2: can earn some money and then you can spend it accordingly.
Speaker 2: And even when we buy them things, I'll often say, Okay, Sebie,
Speaker 2: I'll get you a couple of pairs of shoes for
Speaker 2: school to start. But if you want another pair, these
Speaker 2: aren't cheap, so you can use some of your money.
Speaker 2: And if you don't have enough money, then you can
Speaker 2: find a way to make some money. Give me some ideas.
Speaker 2: We do sometimes obviously the typical chores around the house,
Speaker 2: but I also like them to try to be creative
Speaker 2: and find ways that they can be useful and helpful
Speaker 2: to see if they really want to make the money,
Speaker 2: how are they going to do it. So that's something
Speaker 2: my dad was always very passionate about instilling to me
Speaker 2: and getting me started with my own checking account early,
Speaker 2: and I remember when I got my first credit cards
Speaker 2: very early. He was all about building up my credit.
Speaker 2: Let's see how many days of filming do you need
Speaker 2: for an episode of the Rookie that is? It varies,
Speaker 2: but usually it's about eight. Some episodes we get to nine.
Speaker 2: We've had ten day episodes before, but generally it's around eight,
Speaker 2: I believe, and about I would say most of that
Speaker 2: is on location. We have a good three days probably
Speaker 2: on sets. Maybe it splits fifty to fifty on some episodes,
Speaker 2: spends on our budget for that episode at Sweet Italy.
Speaker 2: I believe that's what it is. How many days of
Speaker 2: filming do you need to I just answered that. I
Speaker 2: just answered that same question. I had a repeat question,
Speaker 2: and do you have to repeat everything again in the
Speaker 2: studio to get the sound? No, so that's an interesting question. No,
Speaker 2: so sound travels with us where we go. Anytime we're filming,
Speaker 2: sound will cover us obviously on stage, and they cover
Speaker 2: us out outside. But it's a little bit different when
Speaker 2: they're getting sound done outside because you have a lot
Speaker 2: of other other noises going on. Right, So, airplane comes by,
Speaker 2: we often have to cut or we just keep it
Speaker 2: rolling and we pause for a second and wait for
Speaker 2: the plane to pass, and then we say that we
Speaker 2: continue the dialogue. If there's any other outside noises, people, things,
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 3: As long as it's far enough away, it.
Speaker 2: Won't pick up on sound and we can keep shooting.
Speaker 2: But if things get too loud, we have to pause
Speaker 2: and stop. You know, siren somebody drives by that sort
Speaker 2: of thing. Definitely, you can't know, you can't avoid it.
Speaker 2: But that's generally how it works. For the most part.
Speaker 3: Sound is again always there.
Speaker 2: Sometimes we have to do something called a dr where
Speaker 2: we have to go in the studio because no matter
Speaker 2: what they could do on location, they could not get
Speaker 2: the sound right. It just it happens. It's part of
Speaker 2: the process. Not easy to avoid. And you know, we're
Speaker 2: pretty we have an incredible sound group, so we we
Speaker 2: get most our stuff. I've done very very few days
Speaker 2: on ADR in seven seasons of The Rookie, which is
Speaker 2: incredible because it's a whole separate deal out of your debt.
Speaker 2: You rarely get to do it when you're at work.
Speaker 2: So that's that's how that plays out.
Speaker 3: Doug.
Speaker 2: Let's see, Doug, I think it is okay. Are the
Speaker 2: police codes you use on the Rookie actual police codes
Speaker 2: and the call numbers or they change the show?
Speaker 3: No, those are actual codes.
Speaker 2: We try to take things straight from the police handbooks
Speaker 2: that are tech advisors. And you know, one of our
Speaker 2: key writers and producers on the show was a San
Speaker 2: Jose police officer, so he's a writer in the room
Speaker 2: and also advises on a lot of that stuff as
Speaker 2: the writers are writing to try to keep everything as
Speaker 2: authentic as we can, super important to us. Katherine Guzman,
Speaker 2: which a list.
Speaker 3: Director would you want to do a movie with? Oh?
Speaker 2: Man, I'll be honest, there are so so many that
Speaker 2: I would love to work with. I'll just throw Scorsese
Speaker 2: out there. I think he'd be I've just loved all
Speaker 2: of his movies and that would be a dream to
Speaker 2: work with someone like him. But truly, there's there are
Speaker 2: so many, uh that would Yeah, that would be just
Speaker 2: a milestone, you know, uh situation for me as an actor.
Speaker 2: I did get to work with this guy, Gabrielle Muchino,
Speaker 2: who had a very big moment in the States after
Speaker 2: he did Pursuit of Happiness with Will Smith, which is
Speaker 2: nominated for an Oscar And he did my very first
Speaker 2: pilot ever and it's it was very cool working with
Speaker 2: a director coming in with so much you know, heat
Speaker 2: after a big movie like that, and we you know,
Speaker 2: I've had I've had quite a few good directors. I mean,
Speaker 2: like that came from the feature side, but I've had
Speaker 2: so many great TV directors too that like our the
Speaker 2: one that did our pilot in The Rookie, Liz Freelander.
Speaker 2: Love her and she is incredible, one of the best
Speaker 2: pilot directors we have right now. So it's definitely there
Speaker 2: are plenty more film directors I would love to work
Speaker 2: with for sure. Let's see Grace Kaiser. How did everyone
Speaker 2: in the Rookie cast start their acting career?
Speaker 3: Like? Okay, well, that's tough.
Speaker 2: That's tough thing, but it's it pretty much starts the
Speaker 2: same with everybody. Everybody auditions, you know that for their
Speaker 2: first thing. You know, in the world of acting, that's
Speaker 2: just how it starts, you don't. You don't get into
Speaker 2: something without auditioning and get in a room and having
Speaker 2: the creator or the director or somebody get their eyes
Speaker 2: on you and see what you're doing with the material.
Speaker 2: As you grow in your profession and you start to
Speaker 2: build a name, then you can start getting offers because
Speaker 2: they trust your work. Now even nowadays, though, it's it's
Speaker 2: that much harder just to continue to work in this business,
Speaker 2: so they're making Actors that are very established still have
Speaker 2: to audition for roles. So you not everybody. Obviously you're
Speaker 2: a big movie star, you know, DiCaprio is not auditioning
Speaker 2: for things. But even some of your you know, big
Speaker 2: TV stars that you're familiar with, that are very big,
Speaker 2: if they don't have a personal relationship with the people
Speaker 2: making that project, they will there's a very good chance
Speaker 2: to have them read, especially if it's for a big movie,
Speaker 2: for a big role. It might just be reading as
Speaker 2: a chemistry read. It might be just something on camera
Speaker 2: as a test. It might not be you know, the
Speaker 2: basic audition like any other actor going in, but they
Speaker 2: like to see it on its feet, and sometimes it's
Speaker 2: about chemistry. And I think most of the actors on
Speaker 2: the Rookie all had to read for their roles. I
Speaker 2: know a couple obviously, Nathan did not, and I think
Speaker 2: Alissa Alexi was a fan when she did Ray Donovan,
Speaker 2: so he knew her work.
Speaker 3: So she was approved.
Speaker 2: But the rest of us had to be out you know,
Speaker 2: get out there and test and read. And even someone
Speaker 2: like Richard who's done tons of work before the Rookie,
Speaker 2: you know, still had to go out there and show
Speaker 2: that he could be Sergeant Gray. So it's part of
Speaker 2: the business. I often say the auditioning is really the job.
Speaker 2: Like all the work leading up to the TV show
Speaker 2: or the movie, that's that's the job. When you actually
Speaker 2: get on a show, that's fun. I mean, it's still
Speaker 2: it still takes a lot of work and you have to.
Speaker 3: Use your craft.
Speaker 2: But navigating the auditioning process while still using your craft
Speaker 2: and building out a character and you know you don't
Speaker 2: know as much about the character really is the hardest
Speaker 2: part in this business. Let's see at or this is
Speaker 2: bosh Mitz two and three. I guess what it is.
Speaker 2: My partner's love language is physical touch. But I always
Speaker 2: get really nervous whenever he touches me, even if it's
Speaker 2: just a small touch. And I don't know why. Wow,
Speaker 2: do you have any tips for me? Also, Eric, what
Speaker 2: is the best advice Rosin has ever given you? Oh?
Speaker 2: Hit me hard with these questions. The best advice Rosalind's
Speaker 2: ever given me? I mean, I don't know if you're
Speaker 2: talking about when it comes to love and life in
Speaker 2: that way or if it comes you know, just in general.
Speaker 2: But she's always advised me just to can you believe
Speaker 2: in myself and dream big and never quit on what
Speaker 2: my goals are. You know, that's something that Roslind is
Speaker 2: incredibly good at. She has an intense drive and she
Speaker 2: works as as hard or harder than anybody I know
Speaker 2: in this business, and she dreams big and she makes
Speaker 2: those things come to life for her. So it's something
Speaker 2: that I've learned and she's preached to me for a
Speaker 2: long time now. As far as your love language or
Speaker 2: your partner's love language being physical touch, I get it.
Speaker 2: I'm the same way so as a man, I get
Speaker 2: what he's what he's you know where he's coming from.
Speaker 2: But why you get nervous is really an interesting question.
Speaker 2: Obviously I don't know you well enough, I can't really
Speaker 2: answer this properly, but I would say it's a bit
Speaker 2: of a concern if you're nervous, unless it's something that
Speaker 2: stems from past experiences you've had, and maybe you need
Speaker 2: to go, you know, meet with a therapist and talk
Speaker 2: through that and understand why there's a trigger in you.
Speaker 2: Maybe it has nothing to do with him, Maybe it
Speaker 2: just has to do with physical touch in general, and
Speaker 2: that has to do with some past trauma or something
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: So I'm a big.
Speaker 2: Believer advocate of psychologist and working with a therapist and
Speaker 2: getting to the root, you know, cause of things. I
Speaker 2: truly think you should explore one because I think that's
Speaker 2: a very important part to your relationship, is physical touch.
Speaker 2: No matter if it's your true love language or not,
Speaker 2: it's mandatory in a relationship. So yeah, to try to
Speaker 2: dive into that more because I think he's not getting
Speaker 2: the best of you if you're already feeling, you know,
Speaker 2: a little bit nervous or uncomfortable with physical touch now
Speaker 2: unless it's good nerves. Now, when I first would start
Speaker 2: dating somebody, those that initial touch, it can be nerve wracking.
Speaker 2: It's but it's a fun nervousness, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's it's butterflies in the stomach and that's exciting. But
Speaker 2: if you're getting like fight or flight nerves, that kind
Speaker 2: of feeling, that's something you should definitely talk to someone
Speaker 2: about more.
Speaker 3: I feel.
Speaker 2: Do you ship Palm Republic merch to other countries? We
Speaker 2: get asked so often about Palm Republic going international and
Speaker 2: we can't wait until that day happens. I'm so sorry
Speaker 2: we do not ship international yet. With merch or the
Speaker 2: actual spirit the rum. But look, I know a lot
Speaker 2: of people that have been finding ways around this. They
Speaker 2: have friends in the States that are buying the merch
Speaker 2: for them and then they're shipping it over seas to
Speaker 2: you know, we have a fan in the Philippines that's
Speaker 2: gotten a bunch of merch, has gotten bottles, everything. So
Speaker 2: people have found ways to get it into Canada. They
Speaker 2: found ways to get at places. I'm not telling you
Speaker 2: that's what you should do, but believe me, I don't
Speaker 2: want to make it in trouble. But I know that
Speaker 2: if you you know, someone could buy it in the States,
Speaker 2: especially a hat or shirts or whatever, they can you know,
Speaker 2: ship that right over to Europe very easily. It just
Speaker 2: take a little longer to get there, and it might
Speaker 2: be a little expensive. But I think look into that
Speaker 2: option if you have a contact in the States that
Speaker 2: can do it. At t lights, Hello from England. Okay cool.
Speaker 2: After listening to the show, I think your attitude towards
Speaker 2: life is very motivational. I love to hear that. Have
Speaker 2: I ever considered writing a book or doing public speaking?
Speaker 2: You know, I have never considered writing a book. I
Speaker 2: definitely have a long way to go in my learning
Speaker 2: process to be preaching to people about ways that they
Speaker 2: can be better or change any of that in that
Speaker 2: kind of sense. But I do my best.
Speaker 3: I listen.
Speaker 2: I was a psych major. I love conversations, engaging with
Speaker 2: people about their life, their happiness. We do this, you
Speaker 2: know what happens at work all the time. Richard and
Speaker 2: I probably tend to be two of the ones that
Speaker 2: love to engage in conversation and find ways to help
Speaker 2: or give our advice. But I don't ever try to
Speaker 2: push my advice on to anybody. If somebody asked me
Speaker 2: for it, I'm happy to talk through things, but I
Speaker 2: haven't gone that route. Or public speaking, although I'm here's
Speaker 2: what's funny about me. I have no problem hosting, I
Speaker 2: have no problem acting. I don't find myself to be
Speaker 2: the best public speaker. It's a different set of nerves
Speaker 2: speaking in front of a giant group of people and
Speaker 2: just presenting. But I can do it. I'm much better
Speaker 2: now than when I was younger. I was terrifle terrified
Speaker 2: and terrible is what I meant to say. I said terrifle.
Speaker 2: That's a new word I just created. I was terrified
Speaker 2: speaking in public it was not required at my school,
Speaker 2: in college or in high school, and I see it
Speaker 2: with my daughter.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: She's so good at public speaking, but they started them
Speaker 2: so young in kindergarten. They were already saying little things
Speaker 2: in front of the all grades in elementary school, and
Speaker 2: by sixth grade she's sitting here giving presentations in chapel,
Speaker 2: which is incredible. So I love that she's not going
Speaker 2: through that. My son will hopefully get to that place too.
Speaker 2: He's obviously a little bit more reserved. But I used
Speaker 2: to freak out speaking in front of people, and I've
Speaker 2: gotten better. Let's see, maybe that'll be part of my future.
Speaker 2: But however, I could go host no problem. You put
Speaker 2: a prompter in front of me and you give me lines,
Speaker 2: I have no problem reading those lines and saying it.
Speaker 2: EBW films, I like that. Have you ever had a
Speaker 2: real life event or ever written into a show or
Speaker 2: film you are doing. I have had real events that
Speaker 2: happened to me on a ride along for the Rookie,
Speaker 2: Like real ride alongs. We've had those written into the
Speaker 2: show on any of the shows we've produced. Have not
Speaker 2: put in real life events. But my wife and I
Speaker 2: have been for years, right before I got the Rookie,
Speaker 2: we were trying to develop a sitcom around our life
Speaker 2: and how different we are, very similar to this podcast,
Speaker 2: funny enough, it was almost what inspired this podcast, and
Speaker 2: we were far down the road in development, and then
Speaker 2: I got the Rookie and she got Grand Hotel and
Speaker 2: that got put aside for a while. But we're hoping
Speaker 2: at some point we can take our life and turn
Speaker 2: it into a sitcom, you know, sort of allah. Everybody
Speaker 2: loves Raymond kind of a vibe. We just we find
Speaker 2: the things that happens and it happened in our lives
Speaker 2: very interesting and funny. Maybe it's just us, but a
Speaker 2: lot of people around us find it that way. And
Speaker 2: we're so different, like we, you know, this show so
Speaker 2: opposite and are difference in cultures and everything. It just
Speaker 2: lends itself to great stories. So let's see that might
Speaker 2: be in the future at some point. Club Aven. Have
Speaker 2: you ever done a ride along with police officer? Now
Speaker 2: that just leads right into what I was saying previously.
Speaker 3: I have done.
Speaker 2: I've done three ride alongs. One of them was in
Speaker 2: a pretty mild division of the LAPD two of them
Speaker 2: were in much more intense areas. However, one of those areas,
Speaker 2: it was a super quiet right along, there wasn't a
Speaker 2: ton of activity, but the other one got pretty heavy
Speaker 2: at a couple of moments. We used one of the
Speaker 2: incidents on the show where we got pushed into it.
Speaker 3: We were pushed.
Speaker 2: We drove through a major gang area and that area
Speaker 2: was having a massive party, and the sergeant told everybody
Speaker 2: they had to leave and clear out. When it was
Speaker 2: just me and my director, Funny enough of the pilot
Speaker 2: in the ride along and we're you know, we're we
Speaker 2: have no gun, we have no w revest, and he
Speaker 2: confronted hundreds of gang members basically at a party and
Speaker 2: told them they needed to move on, and it got
Speaker 2: very intense and very scary, but they ultimately.
Speaker 3: Listened. We took off and left.
Speaker 2: And we had within five minutes, there was probably thirty
Speaker 2: cops all meeting to game plan how we're going to
Speaker 2: go in and raid this house? And I was like,
Speaker 2: how are we going to do this and be a
Speaker 2: part of it? And we were game. Liz and I
Speaker 2: were game. And as soon as we were about to
Speaker 2: go in all those the gang, the gang party ended.
Speaker 2: Everybody went home or went somewhere else. So it was
Speaker 2: very There's a very interesting relationship between gangs and police
Speaker 2: out there in the streets. You know, it's everybody kind
Speaker 2: of tries to function with as much peace as possible,
Speaker 2: knowing that they have to coexist. And I think gangs
Speaker 2: still do obviously what they need to do, and cops
Speaker 2: do what they have to do to try to keep
Speaker 2: it safe. But it's it's a very unique balance that
Speaker 2: I saw play out firsthand. Francesca, do you have a
Speaker 2: favorite line that Tim has said? Tim has a lot
Speaker 2: of great one liners, I'll give I will say that
Speaker 2: I don't know if I have a favorite. I really don't.
Speaker 2: I just got a new script that came out and
Speaker 2: I'm cracking up at some of Tim's lines because they're
Speaker 2: so dry and they're so snarky and quick, and with
Speaker 2: his tone, it just to me they read so funny.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if I have a favorite.
Speaker 3: I really don't.
Speaker 2: I know fans have sent me tons of their favorite lines,
Speaker 2: and I I think Tim is a great one line character.
Speaker 2: He just has some drops that are funny and some
Speaker 2: of them make it, And.
Speaker 3: Yeah, such a great character. I love playing Tim.
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite cocktail you make with Palm Republic.
Speaker 2: This is a great one to end on with the question.
Speaker 2: So I have I love an old fashion. That's probably
Speaker 2: like my go to drink all the time when I
Speaker 2: go out now, and it has been for years as
Speaker 2: I was going through bourbons and whiskies, and then when
Speaker 2: I fell in love with rum, I would you know,
Speaker 2: find ways to try rum, you know, indifferent in different cocktails.
Speaker 2: And I tried it one time as an old fashion.
Speaker 2: Was obsessed then with Palm Republic because I believe that
Speaker 2: our rum SIPs so much differently than a lot of
Speaker 2: the age RUMs out there. I think our leans a
Speaker 2: little bit more to the bourbon and whiskey flavor profile.
Speaker 2: So for me, that's my favorite aged cocktail that I
Speaker 2: make with Palm Republic is an old fashion And sometimes
Speaker 2: I bought a smoker. I do a smokey old fashion
Speaker 2: and I smoke the glass. Love that drink, the classic
Speaker 2: Cuban Dacri. Big fan of that with our silver three
Speaker 2: ingredients lime, simple syrup and our rum and Palm Republic
Speaker 2: and you put it in a shaker with ice, boom,
Speaker 2: shake it up, get it nice and cold. That's a great, simple,
Speaker 2: clean drink. I mean not too much sugar, still has sugar,
Speaker 2: but it's fairly clean. Mohitos I've always loved mohitos with
Speaker 2: you know this are our silver what else I you
Speaker 2: know again, I'm also very simple like our silver on
Speaker 2: the rocks with a lime go to our aged on
Speaker 2: the rocks. I absolutely love it that way. But a
Speaker 2: mint julip, that's another popular one that people are doing.
Speaker 2: We have an event we're doing not very soon here
Speaker 2: and that's going to be a feature. Is a mint julip,
Speaker 2: which is usually a bourbon because it's Kentucky and it's
Speaker 2: very famous at the Kentucky Derby, but use it with
Speaker 2: palm Republic rum. Try that as well. We have a
Speaker 2: bunch of cocktails on the website, so definitely check those out. Again,
