Speaker 2: I just took a shower. I've never done a podcast
Speaker 2: with wet hair.
Speaker 1: Really, it looks really cute. I like your hair all
Speaker 1: curly like that.
Speaker 2: Eww, it's so yuck.
Speaker 1: It's wetty. It's wetty. Just shoved food down my throat
Speaker 1: because I was like, we.
Speaker 2: Got a tape and you need all the energy, except
Speaker 2: sometimes you're life. But then it's all going to go
Speaker 2: to my stomach and I'm not going to be into
Speaker 2: this at all. What did you have?
Speaker 1: But it's worse if I don't eat, because then I'll
Speaker 1: just be doing this and just be thinking about food.
Speaker 1: I ate. I warmed up a pita in the oven
Speaker 1: and had all this amazing hummus that I got at
Speaker 1: this spot called the Vegan Exchange. It's a vegan Exchange
Speaker 1: festival that they have every Sunday here in North Hollywood,
Speaker 1: and I bought all this amazing homemade like hummuses.
Speaker 2: I've never been there.
Speaker 1: Oh God, we gotta go. Yeah, yeah, let's go. Our
Speaker 1: friend Jess runs it. Shout out to Ess and it's
Speaker 1: amazing all this great like vegan food, and then they
Speaker 1: sell you know, hummuses and juices and fruit and plants
Speaker 1: and produce a bunch of stuff everything.
Speaker 2: Like fake burgers and fake nuggets and shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I had a Philly cheese steak sandwich and
Speaker 1: it was plant based. Yeah, it was cheese and whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And sushi and there's an amazing sushi truck and I
Speaker 1: got spicy tuna and it's so good.
Speaker 2: It's made out of cha.
Speaker 1: No, it's made out of chickpeas. That particular one was
Speaker 1: made out of chickpeas.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, it was so good. It was so good. So
Speaker 1: I'm nice and full.
Speaker 2: Now some people make chickpeas, make them real gassy.
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh shit, that's that answers a lot now
Speaker 1: that you say that. God damn it.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: You know who's my favorite vegan on the planet?
Speaker 1: Tell me young Oh yeah, of course.
Speaker 2: Our very own Melly. She was like the first real
Speaker 2: true vegan, because I have some like vegetarians that also
Speaker 2: dabble in pescatarian that are just eating fish. But she's
Speaker 2: really the first person, as a true staunch vegan that
Speaker 2: I spent eight years with where it's like she won't
Speaker 2: even butter eggs like the real deal.
Speaker 1: Remember we went to Israel with her and I remember
Speaker 1: her full on sticking to her vegan diet. It's difficult
Speaker 1: when you travel years. Oh yeah, yeah, and that was
Speaker 1: way back. That was back in the day. Now it's easier.
Speaker 1: Now there's vegan spots all over the place and restaurants
Speaker 1: know that there's people are doing the vegan things, so
Speaker 1: there's always vegan options. But back then it was hard.
Speaker 1: It was difficult.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's been doing it first since way before
Speaker 2: we meet. But she's the biggest fucking animal lover ever,
Speaker 2: like because she's worked with a SPCA. Yeah, a ton
Speaker 2: of stuff. But and she looks like she looks looks
Speaker 2: so good that it makes me want to be a vegan.
Speaker 2: G and I we're not vegan, we're not omnivores, we're
Speaker 2: not pescatarian, we're not bad cheery. We just like all
Speaker 2: fucking food.
Speaker 1: It just exactly what exactly I just like to eat.
Speaker 2: Today. We have a fucking amazing guest. He is a
Speaker 2: scandal staple and he was not around in season one.
Speaker 1: The whole time. No, he came in season three or.
Speaker 2: Now you two two. He's sexy, he's television famous, he's
Speaker 2: television royalty.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and it's appropriate that he came in season
Speaker 1: two because it's the number two and he was the
Speaker 1: king of doing the fart noises on set. He is
Speaker 1: the reason that we all still do like every day,
Speaker 1: I will the thing.
Speaker 2: We also talked about chickpeas in this episode because we
Speaker 2: have the one and only, sir gentleman, classiest dude in
Speaker 2: the world who does a rolling speed and.
Speaker 1: Action every time. Every time, I still do that.
Speaker 2: How dramatic the scene. Yeah, Scott Full, we love a
Speaker 2: gem of gems. Thank you so much for being on
Speaker 2: the pod. We love you, I love you both for
Speaker 2: everyone listening. Scott Fully is television royalty and fame. He
Speaker 2: has been on eight thousand successful, prolific, fucking shows. So
Speaker 2: where did you pick up this habit? Did you get
Speaker 2: it from someone else? Does it come out of your
Speaker 2: magnificent brain? Talk to us.
Speaker 3: I'm glad we're This is something I really wanted to
Speaker 3: dive into. I think, if I'm being honest, I think
Speaker 3: it started on The Unit when I was on the
Speaker 3: show called The Unit on CBS. You know a bunch
Speaker 3: of guys running around with guns. There were women in
Speaker 3: the show as well, but our storylines were almost never together,
Speaker 3: so the dudes would run around and do missions, and
Speaker 3: we'd be working in Santa Clarita at three in the morning,
Speaker 3: drinking coffee and challenging people like, hey, I'll give you
Speaker 3: a hundred bucks if you run up that hill before
Speaker 3: they say action and eat fifty eggs or do all
Speaker 3: the stupid shit, and it just came out. You'd be
Speaker 3: sitting in a scene, they'd be setting something up and
Speaker 3: a camera operated would bend over and you just and
Speaker 3: it was literally it was I'm embarrassed. It was.
Speaker 2: Fucking best because it's not only how it started, by
Speaker 2: the way, you're not the only First of all, everyone
Speaker 2: was doing it on the Scandal.
Speaker 1: Set Scott because of Scot.
Speaker 2: Oh, if I drop anything where your sides, Yeah, you
Speaker 2: had to bend over and do something in a scene
Speaker 2: somebody was making a fucking fart sound. And it because,
Speaker 2: I honestly think too similar to the unit. We weren't
Speaker 2: all dues running around. But I think there is also
Speaker 2: something to be said when you're on a very dramatic
Speaker 2: show where the subject matter is dramatic.
Speaker 1: You got to break your tension day.
Speaker 2: Killing people, guns, all this shit. It's like you have to.
Speaker 2: It's like you doing this for fourteen hours a day.
Speaker 2: It's like somebody needs a fart joked.
Speaker 3: It's like, I think there's something from the outside that's
Speaker 3: very glamorous about what we do, right, But at the
Speaker 3: end of it, we're a bunch of people basically working
Speaker 3: a blue collar job. We're creatives, but we're in a
Speaker 3: warehouse around a bunch of heavy machinery and equipment, lights
Speaker 3: and cables and dudes with crack showing and like, you
Speaker 3: grow to fill that box.
Speaker 2: It's so true.
Speaker 1: Please tell us you still do it like in your
Speaker 1: regular times? Good do you still make the fart soundly?
Speaker 3: Appreciate it? And a wife who gets angry every time
Speaker 3: it happens, and I do it to her more than
Speaker 3: anybody else. So I'm really still leaning into my fart sound.
Speaker 3: There's different there's tones to a good fake fart sound, right,
Speaker 3: It depends on the person you're doing it and the
Speaker 3: mood they're in in the setting. Like it can trend up, yeah,
Speaker 3: it can trend down. It can just yes, thank you,
Speaker 3: this is a quick one. It can just be a
Speaker 3: little squirt. It can be a long drawn out one,
Speaker 3: so there's a lot of there's a lot of nuance.
Speaker 2: Do good at it. It's like you are in a
Speaker 2: like a glee band where you're the person doing like beatboxing,
Speaker 2: but you're unbelievable at Tonal party. It's unbelievable. It is
Speaker 2: such a special skill set and brought me so much
Speaker 2: joy as you did on set every day. Can you
Speaker 2: tell us how you got this part and how crazy
Speaker 2: it was, because I think the story is that your wife,
Speaker 2: who is in the Scandal Wives Club, how she watched
Speaker 2: the show. You didn't correct.
Speaker 3: I was in the Shondaland universe. I was shooting Gray's Anatomy.
Speaker 3: I think it was at season six or seven of
Speaker 3: Grey's Anatomy. And I was having a bunch of fun
Speaker 3: doing that, and and Shonda called me to her office
Speaker 3: and she said, I wrote a script and the network
Speaker 3: really seems to like it and they want to make
Speaker 3: the pilot and I want you to be in it.
Speaker 3: And I said okay, and she said you want to
Speaker 3: read it. I was yay yahyeh, sure I should go
Speaker 3: read it. So I walked from her office back to
Speaker 3: my trailer on the Gray's anatomy lot there. What is
Speaker 3: that pro prospect?
Speaker 2: Yeah, prospect And I read it.
Speaker 3: And it was great, and she said, I wrote this
Speaker 3: part just for you, and I said I'd love to
Speaker 3: do it. And it was pilot season coming up, so
Speaker 3: I called my agents and I said, hey, I got
Speaker 3: a pilot Shonda wrote for me. And they said great,
Speaker 3: and it was done.
Speaker 1: That's a nice you were like, yeah, I did on
Speaker 1: a veil, not even auditioning, no audition even auditioning.
Speaker 3: It was every actor's dream. And about a month and
Speaker 3: maybe three weeks. A month later, Shonda calls me personally.
Speaker 3: I'm not on set, but she calls me at home
Speaker 3: and she says, I have some terrible news. And I
Speaker 3: was like a christ. She said, I you're still I
Speaker 3: still want you to do this part, but I'm going
Speaker 3: to name drop him right here. Didn't think I was
Speaker 3: television material. Wow, I said, what does that mean? She said,
Speaker 3: he wants you to read for it. I said, I'm
Speaker 3: an actor, of course I'll read for this part. So
Speaker 3: we set up a time and I came into Linda
Speaker 3: always little office and read it with the director.
Speaker 2: And Paul McGuigan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, and and Linda and I thought it
Speaker 3: went great, and Shonda said it went great, and Linda
Speaker 3: said it went great, and Paul was like, wait to go,
Speaker 3: And then I guess I didn't like it? What So
Speaker 3: they said, we want you to read again. So I
Speaker 3: went back in and I read again, and Shanda called
Speaker 3: and she said, I'm so sorry he wants to go
Speaker 3: a different way with the role. I don't know what
Speaker 3: to tell you.
Speaker 1: What the hell, dude?
Speaker 3: And I look, this is the business we're in. What
Speaker 3: can you do. There's a bunch of chefs in the kitchen,
Speaker 3: So life goes on. I went and I did another
Speaker 3: show called The good Win Games from the Guys who
Speaker 3: Met from How I Met your Mother.
Speaker 2: You were so good on that show.
Speaker 3: I love that show so much.
Speaker 2: It was so great on a comedy. You're so good.
Speaker 3: And that was That was another bone that was thrown
Speaker 3: my way because I had passed on How I Met
Speaker 3: your Mother. No because of Scandal, No, because of the
Speaker 3: fucking Unit.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Oh my god, Scott, I on How I Met
Speaker 2: your Mother hearing stories like that, because oh my god,
Speaker 2: that show is a residual juggernaut.
Speaker 1: Of a show, like, yeah, but you got on Scandals,
Speaker 1: So that's just.
Speaker 3: Is it a good residual wise?
Speaker 1: Not residualise?
Speaker 2: I just had dinner with Kobe's boulders. Let me tell
Speaker 2: you something. How I met your mother? Is there juggernaut it? Anyway?
Speaker 3: So that show came to an end, and when it ended,
Speaker 3: there was an announcement in the news that it wasn't
Speaker 3: getting picked up. And Seanna called me and I think
Speaker 3: it was now the second season you guys had done.
Speaker 3: You did seven episodes? Episodes? Yeah, you did seven to
Speaker 3: seven yeah, And she called me and she said, I'm
Speaker 3: trying to get you back on the show I wrote
Speaker 3: apart just for you. Will you come and do it?
Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, I got no, my show
Speaker 3: just got cancel. What else am I going to do?
Speaker 3: And Marika I was like, babe, What's what is this?
Speaker 3: How does it look? Because I had a bad taste
Speaker 3: in my mouth about it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like about watching the show that I didn't
Speaker 2: get cast on to like further the burn because I'm
Speaker 2: a bitter bad I get it.
Speaker 3: And we watched it and forgive me for this. I
Speaker 3: was like, who are these people? And She's like, what's happening?
Speaker 3: And Mariecaus like you got to do it. It's so good,
Speaker 3: and so I called Shonda. We had a conversation and
Speaker 3: we made a deal. I was going to be a
Speaker 3: recurring character on the second season and coming halfway through
Speaker 3: the second season, and if the show got picked up
Speaker 3: for a third which wasn't in any way a guarantee
Speaker 3: at that point, then I would become a series regular
Speaker 3: going forward. And so we negotiated the deal. Everything was great,
Speaker 3: and that's that's my scandal story.
Speaker 2: My god, you have done the love triangle thing. Shout out, Felicity.
Speaker 2: I think you did it on Dawson's Creek. I think
Speaker 2: like you are real good.
Speaker 3: And the other guys we're going to be in the
Speaker 3: other guy.
Speaker 1: You do it so well.
Speaker 2: Did you know that you were gonna be you really did?
Speaker 2: Did you know that it was you were going to
Speaker 2: be in this love triangle to Tony and Carrie. Had
Speaker 2: that been presented to you? Where you were like, I
Speaker 2: don't even know the character?
Speaker 3: She said, I would be a love interest to the
Speaker 3: lead girl, and that was all I knew, and I
Speaker 3: didn't know anything. You guys had done seven episodes, I think,
Speaker 3: and maybe a couple from the second season had aired
Speaker 3: by the time I showed up. I think I showed
Speaker 3: up in I don't know, two twelve to thirteen, something
Speaker 3: like that. So you'd only done a total of twenty
Speaker 3: episodes before I came, and I hadn't I didn't know.
Speaker 3: Seanda says, I got a plan. You're going to be
Speaker 3: this guy and you're a love interest. But there's more
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she probably knew all of that, but none
Speaker 1: of us ever knew what was coming down the pike
Speaker 1: right for our characters until Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody knew either.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could be in that writer's room and they'd
Speaker 3: be like, what's today. They're like, I don't know, let's
Speaker 3: start again, throw it up.
Speaker 2: From yell and I think I heard That's what they liked,
Speaker 2: Like they liked the energy of the show, being like
Speaker 2: holy shit, Like you don't like they were up again.
Speaker 2: They were up against the ticking time clock as well,
Speaker 2: which is why you feel that so much in the show.
Speaker 1: Did you know Tony or Carrie beforehand, Scott? Had you
Speaker 1: met them?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Wow, Carrie had dated a guy who lived on my street.
Speaker 5: I'd seen her, Yeah, I'd seen her like walking a
Speaker 5: dog maybe.
Speaker 3: Probably, Yeah, And I was at like walking mine and
Speaker 3: you sort of nod like she's an actress ring.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I you know, did you know you're going

Speaker 2: there is some of the.
Speaker 3: You totally watched it, and I watched Kate Burton say

Speaker 3: favorite line of the whole episode.
Speaker 1: Yes, he's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: This episode, Gladiators, we're talking about episode three oh five
Speaker 2: called More Cattle Less Bowl. It aired on October thirty,
Speaker 2: first Halloween. That yeah, the year.

Speaker 3: it away last week.
Speaker 1: I love it. I think Katie threw that shit away.
Speaker 1: Didn't you throw it away? Katie?
Speaker 2: What it's hidden in the box? Well. This episode was
Speaker 2: written by ten Bands. It was directed by Randy Zisk
Speaker 2: and Gee, who is a guest starring.
Speaker 1: It was guest starring Stony Westmoreland as hal Eron. Chambers
Speaker 1: is Mara, and Jay Jackson is the TV anchor.
Speaker 2: And real quick to jog our memories of what the
Speaker 2: fuck happens. The OPA team investigates Democratic Congresswoman Josie Marcus,
Speaker 2: while Olivia and Melly have a surprising run in during
Speaker 2: the White House Correspondence dinner.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Jake and Huckett closer to the truth about Operation Remington,
Speaker 1: which could lead to devastating results.
Speaker 2: Guys, the first thing that needs to be spoken about
Speaker 2: this episode, which is the most important scene that we
Speaker 2: need to get to, is the basketball scene. I don't
Speaker 2: even give a shit about the rest of this episode,
Speaker 2: we have to talk about.
Speaker 1: You and Tony playing basketball.
Speaker 2: Which Scott, you are an athlete, you're a great tennis player,
Speaker 2: You're a great basketball player. Can you please tell us
Speaker 2: why this happened? What it was like?
Speaker 1: Is this worse than the dancing Scott? Was this worse
Speaker 1: than the Oh God?
Speaker 2: So it got his laughing so hard? Okay, for those
Speaker 2: of you listening, Tony Goldwyn has got so much swag
Speaker 2: as fits. We are not saying like anything, It's just
Speaker 2: that Tony is really an artist and maybe not a
Speaker 2: great basketball player. Am I saying something wrong? I'll let
Speaker 2: me say I.
Speaker 3: Don't know what you're saying. I remember I remember story
Speaker 3: Tony once told me about Shanda asking him early on
Speaker 3: in the run of the show, I want to have
Speaker 3: you doing something physical. What's a playing tennis? He was
Speaker 3: like nope. She was like, how about basketball? He was
Speaker 3: like nope. She said what you saw? He was like,
Speaker 3: he said, I chop would Yeah.
Speaker 2: We had him on that episode where he's he has
Speaker 2: said this that choppingwood is really one of the few
Speaker 2: physical things he can do, which, by the way, wasn't
Speaker 2: he in like the Huge Tennis Movie as a coach
Speaker 2: Like last year.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, we had actually a really great time doing this.
Speaker 3: And I will be the first to say, our poor crew.
Speaker 3: I couldn't shoot a shop for to save my life.
Speaker 3: I could not make a basket. They were like totally
Speaker 3: just we want to get a couple of you putting
Speaker 3: it in. I was like, not loved. I played in
Speaker 3: high school. I was like fuck, fuck fuck.
Speaker 2: It was just like too much pressure people.
Speaker 3: I think I had two kids, my wife was pregnant
Speaker 3: with a third. I hadn't been shooting baskets in ten years.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's just a way because the person I don't know
Speaker 2: a goddamn thing about the sport. So it was effective
Speaker 2: for me, which is two hot men using basketball as
Speaker 2: if they're fighting over their girl, like the you're fighting
Speaker 2: over fighting over Olivia. But it's basketball, and it totally
Speaker 2: fucking worked. However, Adam would be the first person to say,
Speaker 2: when I remember when it came out, my husband only
Speaker 2: watched his basketball seventy five hundred hours a week, but
Speaker 2: he was like, wow, Tony is really bad.
Speaker 1: Really spotted it. See I didn't even spot it.
Speaker 3: I couldn't even be played when we played. Tony was
Speaker 3: no worse than I was. I'm completely unstilly.
Speaker 2: Then they must have coughtvered. They must have covered something
Speaker 2: that he did that you didn't do that. I remember
Speaker 2: Adam being like, oh my god, Tony, wow not a
Speaker 2: basketball player, and.
Speaker 1: Wow, that shit really well though, because you.
Speaker 3: Can't do a really good job. I don't remember seeing
Speaker 3: that episode, and I watched it today before we did this,
Speaker 3: and aside from the fake sweat all over me, oh
Speaker 3: my god, please the amount of water they sprayed on
Speaker 3: my back to make it look like we were really.
Speaker 2: Sweating, but I do remember a note that I took
Speaker 2: when I did watch the scene, And again I couldn't
Speaker 2: tell anybody was good or bad. It just was fucking hot.
Speaker 2: You both looked great eye and looked like you knew
Speaker 2: what you were doing, because you're great actors. But I
Speaker 2: remember you taking off your jacket and your shirt was
Speaker 2: already soaking wet and you hadn't even started playing yet.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, the ba a wet mark
Speaker 2: on it in when you were like, all right, let's
Speaker 2: do this, like you hadn't even played yet.
Speaker 3: It was so much fun. We shot at a I
Speaker 3: think it was like a private house or something in Brentwood. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was great being anytime I got the opportunity to
Speaker 3: be sort of one on one with you guys. I
Speaker 3: have really great memories of those moments. I thought of
Speaker 3: one the other day with me and g. We were
Speaker 3: doing a car scene.
Speaker 1: Yes, I was thinking about that to Scott.
Speaker 3: And we were sitting there and something was taken long,
Speaker 3: and the ad came up a couple times, and the
Speaker 3: last time the ad came up, and so it just
Speaker 3: be a minute, he rolled the window up and G
Speaker 3: goes the fuck out.
Speaker 1: I got of here. Yeah, I love that is one
Speaker 1: of the most special moments for me with you because
Speaker 1: we just we hung out in that car for the
Speaker 1: whole day and we just kept saying that, and even
Speaker 1: later on, like shooting the show, we would just keep
Speaker 1: you know, we would say fuck out, like just for you,
Speaker 1: don't yeah, just for.
Speaker 2: You guys have a lot in this episode together. I
Speaker 2: never realized that, like you two is the B six
Speaker 2: thirteen people trying to get Maya pope out of here,
Speaker 2: Like you two have this whole unspoken language of these
Speaker 2: aside eyes and like, how do we do work this system?
Speaker 2: We do everything B six thirteen, which, by the way.
Speaker 1: You're a B six thirteen.
Speaker 2: We need you're a B six thirteen. I heard that
Speaker 2: by someone I will not name names, pretty high up
Speaker 2: that around this time they were thinking about a B
Speaker 2: six thirteen spinoff.
Speaker 1: Really damn that guess didn't freaking happen.
Speaker 2: It's not from the highest of highest ups, so it
Speaker 2: could be a complete fucking bullshit scenario. But I was
Speaker 2: watching this episode and I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: And three thirteen Scott, when you become the head of command,
Speaker 2: I was like, holy shit, this is like a hole
Speaker 2: and we're at Acne Paper and.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, yeah, it's a nice you work there.
Speaker 2: It's a whole other world. Like it's just.
Speaker 3: Really remember the first time we were on that set
Speaker 3: wherever the hell it was, and that you worked as
Speaker 3: the receptionist. It was in the middle of this sort
Speaker 3: of oval shaped lobby thing, and ah, man, I have
Speaker 3: such Oh that's crazy. I do.
Speaker 1: Remind me too.
Speaker 2: And Quinn was being such a little bit. She was like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to wear a death I have a
Speaker 2: gun to do this, and you were like pay your dues.
Speaker 2: You're like nothing, it's still even in consideration if you're
Speaker 2: really be six thirteen, Well, that.

Speaker 3: in this thing. You traded in the router for a gun.
Speaker 1: I know that's right with her.
Speaker 2: I don't remember any of that.
Speaker 1: I don't remember a lot of it either.
Speaker 2: I have to say, the worst acting of the whole
Speaker 2: episode is definitely for me his Quinn walking in her
Speaker 2: horrible shoes in the rubble of Montana or whatever. I
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, Katie, you are the worst.
Speaker 1: Like everybody telling your ground.
Speaker 2: Bills and you're an idiot and it's just so stupid. Okay,
Speaker 2: who's anyone have favorite highlight acting moments of this episode?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: We know Scott's Oh Caperton is it? Sally Langston? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What does she say?
Speaker 3: She says, I'm not here to urinate. When she goes

Speaker 3: for actually having him standing at the Jurnal going to
Speaker 3: the bathroom. Just don't see that a whole lot.
Speaker 1: But did you notice? Did you guys notice it? Also

Speaker 2: to be the other man for the whole time?
Speaker 3: I don't know. The paychecks cash, The truth is like total.
Speaker 3: I was totally happy with my part. I never saw
Speaker 3: any real life complication Tony. He's a great friend of mine,
Speaker 3: and from the second I stepped on that set, Tony
Speaker 3: was a great frien I shouldn't say that from the
Speaker 3: second after the first table read, because from my first
Speaker 3: table read, everybody came up and said hello, hi, bit
Speaker 3: not one word from Tony really one, not a hello,
Speaker 3: not a handshake, not a welcome, no anything. He was
Speaker 3: like he's taken over something well you know, and Carrie
Speaker 3: was like, he's got a little he's a little little jealous.
Speaker 3: I was like what. But after that, whatever it was,
Speaker 3: he was probably hungry or had to be on set or.
Speaker 2: Dreading in line to like get his samwich or something
Speaker 2: and his piece of salmon.
Speaker 1: There. We all know he never ate a sandwich. He
Speaker 1: only ate salads, salad please, he was taking his shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that salad with tuna, remembering fruit. Yeah, you never seen
Speaker 1: them eat a sandwich.

Speaker 3: whole donut and then take his shirt off that He
Speaker 3: was like, are you kidding? Niccord?
Speaker 2: You look amazing in this You too, like, dude, you
Speaker 2: come on, you had to take off I think in
Speaker 2: this episode, did you have to take off your shirt?
Speaker 3: I did. I took my shirt off in this episode.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, look at young Yeah.
Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy how you feel self conscious at the moment.
Speaker 2: I look back at the ship on this show when
Speaker 2: I'm in bron underwear, and I was like, what was
Speaker 2: my problem?
Speaker 1: I look good?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Why was I so freaked out? And also I would
Speaker 2: take that any day over what I'm working with now.
Speaker 1: But Scott, you were always really good about not eating cookies,
Speaker 1: Like when you knew your shirt was going to come off,
Speaker 1: you were good about making sure you were eating the
Speaker 1: right thing or not eating.
Speaker 2: His kryptonite was a cup of nuts. You can cut
Speaker 2: take down a cup of cashews with but.
Speaker 1: At least that's healthy. At least that's healthy.
Speaker 2: But no, he was not. You were not eating dessert.
Speaker 3: It's not that I was good, It's that I was terrified,
Speaker 3: completely paranoid.
Speaker 1: That the world was going to see who shot.
Speaker 3: Goldwin.
Speaker 1: But you look just as good, man, You look good.
Speaker 2: This dude was born with a six pack. A that's
Speaker 2: not fair and B.
Speaker 3: From Ghosts to Scandal. Dude takes his shirt up and
Speaker 3: you're like, I just can't win.
Speaker 2: But well, you looked amazing and you did incredible, and
Speaker 2: G and I were so lucky because you people had
Speaker 2: to really be the hot ones on the show, and
Speaker 2: G and I could really just get fucking.
Speaker 1: Here's a slob. I never had to worry about. I
Speaker 1: can get drunk the night before and come a seat
Speaker 1: and have bags into my eyes and be like, let's go,
Speaker 1: let's shoot it.
Speaker 3: Say something, though, G, I'll say something and it. For
Speaker 3: whatever reason, your character was probably the most specific in
Speaker 3: the entire show. It was a true character. Yes, there
Speaker 3: was Olivia Pope in this book. To a certain degree,
Speaker 3: we're all playing versions of ourselves. You know, I'm hoping
Speaker 3: Huck is not a version of you. It's it was
Speaker 3: a beautiful performance. And I listened because I was able
Speaker 3: to come on and do this podcast. I listened to
Speaker 3: one the other day and it was the seven seven
Speaker 3: What was the fi? It was seven fifty two episode
Speaker 3: and guys, that was one of the first table reads
Speaker 3: I was there for. That was in that warehouse, and
Speaker 3: I remember being a part of that. I had a
Speaker 3: line or two maybe, or I was there for a fitting,
Speaker 3: I don't know. And I sat at the table read
Speaker 3: and it blew my mind. And what you guys did
Speaker 3: with that episode, and it's still I haven't watched it
Speaker 3: in forever because I don't watch because does anyone watch
Speaker 3: it anymore?
Speaker 1: But we only watched the show because we have to
Speaker 1: for the podcast, and we're loving it so much.
Speaker 3: But there's two didn't watch TV anymore? Horses and.
Speaker 2: Television like in the cannon of television.
Speaker 3: Directed and filmed gorgeous episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so we've got your favorite off track? Is
Speaker 2: what we love? Gee? Any favorite acting moments for you
Speaker 2: in this One.
Speaker 1: Of my favorite acting moments. Oh god, imagine it's the
Speaker 1: moment at the end of the episode and I'm sitting
Speaker 1: on the floor. I remember shooting the scene and me
Speaker 1: and Scott, Me and Huck and Jake are trying to
Speaker 1: figure out the riddle what happened with Remington the flight. Yes,
Speaker 1: we're trying to figure all that stuff out. And I
Speaker 1: finally say to Jake says to Jake her last name
Speaker 1: was Pope, and then it cuts to Scott and Scott says, no,
Speaker 1: that was my one of my favorite moments in this episode,
Speaker 1: aside from Mellie's hair acting like that hair that just
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, those curls.
Speaker 3: There were a couple scenes where her hair was it
Speaker 3: was like she was she was the equivalent of Alicia
Speaker 3: Keys's dress last.
Speaker 2: Night at the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: At the super Bowl, it was the biggest thing I've
Speaker 3: ever seen. And then it went back to normal beautiful Bellamy.
Speaker 3: But that for there was a moment, yeah, moment like she.
Speaker 2: I have to say real quick, this is like the
Speaker 2: first time before we move on to six Degrees of
Speaker 2: some horror because Scott, fully, you've got some in that bag.
Speaker 2: But Lisa Koudro, really this is where she has a
Speaker 2: lot of material, and I'm like, I'm so used to
Speaker 2: seeing her as Phoebe that I had to keep being like,
Speaker 2: holy shit, that's Phoebe. If she's on the podium and
Speaker 2: she's being attacked by Governor Resten. She's running and she
Speaker 2: has to do this thing where like I was fifteen,
Speaker 2: I got pregnant, I gave you a baby.
Speaker 1: For brilliant Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just like, wow.
Speaker 2: I had no First of all, I don't remember any
Speaker 2: of that even happening when we were shooting, Like, don'
Speaker 2: I never worked with her, I don't think so. I
Speaker 2: don't really remember it I met either. It's nice to
Speaker 2: see her doing something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's completely different from what we were used to
Speaker 1: seeing her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, Giermo's six Degrees of Horror?
Speaker 1: Do I even have to even say it? I can
Speaker 1: just Scott Foley was in Scream three and he played
Speaker 1: Roman the director Roman, which I'm assuming it's a homage
Speaker 1: to Roman Polanski. Perhaps maybe the name was Yeah, and
Speaker 1: not only were you in a Scream movie, but you
Speaker 1: were in a Scream movie directed by Wes Craven.
Speaker 2: Doom tell us about it.
Speaker 1: I think that was the last one he directed. Possibly,
Speaker 1: wasn't it.
Speaker 3: I think it was. He might have done four, but
Speaker 3: I think it was one of the last ones. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I actually worked with him again. You dam on
Speaker 3: a movie called Curse. Oh shit, wait, yes, there were
Speaker 3: two we shot that movie. They shot that movie twice.
Speaker 3: I only shot it once. But I still get residuals
Speaker 3: from it, even though I'm not in it at all.
Speaker 3: I had a big part, a bunch of stuff with
Speaker 3: Chris n Ricci. And who was the guy that anyway.
Speaker 1: That Janka Jackson plays the guy?
Speaker 3: He did? He was recast? Oh, it was someone else.
Speaker 3: First was a skeet. It wasn't skeet. It was I
Speaker 3: forget who it.
Speaker 2: Was first, all of you guys.
Speaker 3: And because I had done Scream, Bob Weinstein called me
Speaker 3: and was like, hey, we want you to do this
Speaker 3: other movie called Curse. West is going to direct that.
Speaker 3: He says you're great, and I was like great, And
Speaker 3: I got on the set and I worked a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks with oh and there was a scene with
Speaker 3: Scott Bao and me and Judy Greer and a.
Speaker 5: Bunch of hairy a bunch of people were on the
Speaker 5: Santa Monica pier.
Speaker 3: Anyway, going back to screen, Yes, my first feature film,
Speaker 3: I got it. Can I tell you ge I got
Speaker 3: a ton of shit for doing that movie.
Speaker 1: Why what do you mean a ton of shit? Flack?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like it wasn't good enough, or like.
Speaker 3: It was like it was considered schlocky. Like I remember
Speaker 3: being back on season two or three of Felicity. We
Speaker 3: were just starting out and we had a press conference
Speaker 3: on set for some reason and all as actors were
Speaker 3: lined up and Scott Speedbman had just done he just
Speaker 3: done an all Be Played when Canada or something, and
Speaker 3: someone was like, it's really great you did that instead
Speaker 3: of instead of doing a Scream film. And I remember
Speaker 3: JJ turned to me, he.
Speaker 4: Goes, oh, but that movie has has held up so
Speaker 4: much and the amount of people who come up to
Speaker 4: me still I just did a Broadway show and the
Speaker 4: amount of people who would wait at the door wanting
Speaker 4: me to sign Scream posters, Scream memorabilia, talk to me
Speaker 4: about Scream.
Speaker 3: I'm so proud of it.
Speaker 1: Now, Oh you should be. And you also worked with
Speaker 1: my old pal Parker Posi, who is my freaking brilliance
Speaker 1: in that movie. She's such a standout in.
Speaker 3: That brilliant in life g she would grab me. We
Speaker 3: shot at this beautiful old house off Madelena Street, off
Speaker 3: Sunset in La Yeah, in Silver Lake, and it's this
Speaker 3: great old house that he used it for a bunch
Speaker 3: of filming, and we shot a bunch there. That was
Speaker 3: the mansion where it all happened, and she would in
Speaker 3: between scenes, she would take my hand and walk me
Speaker 3: down in the lawn and sit me down and read
Speaker 3: me poetry. And I was like, what is no way?
Speaker 3: This is bizarre. But she was the sweetest, nicest woman.
Speaker 1: I love her so much. She used to invite me
Speaker 1: over to her apartment when we did Party Girl back
Speaker 1: in the day in the early nineties, to have a
Speaker 1: bad movie night, and she would play all these bad
Speaker 1: movies for me and we would just watch him and
Speaker 1: order Chinese food. And she's such a she's such a
Speaker 1: unique Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: It was young. He was so very well, Oh my,
Speaker 3: so great yo.
Speaker 1: But also answer me there was really quickly. Do you
Speaker 1: do you have a ghost face mask from the film?
Speaker 3: You want to see it?
Speaker 1: How much do you want for it? And can I
Speaker 1: see it? No? Let me see it? Can we see it?
Speaker 1: Can we see it? Can you believe that?
Speaker 2: Here? Well? This episode also aired on October thirty. First,
Speaker 2: this is all very fucking Weird's amazing?
Speaker 3: Is that? Yes?
Speaker 2: Lines crossing?
Speaker 3: Oh? Hold on, there's this?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, is getting his fucking scream mask.
Speaker 1: Jenny McCarthy was also in this movie. Horror fans are hardcore,
Speaker 1: hardcore bro. Yeah, yeah, I wish.
Speaker 2: I was in one of those. I think it'd be
Speaker 2: fucking fun. I don't like watching them because I'm terrified,
Speaker 2: but I'd like to run around and scream and ship.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it felt like we were doing many horror films
Speaker 1: on Scandal, right. Some of the stuff we did for
Speaker 1: teeth pulling scene felt like a horror film. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Scott Foley is holding up the freaking ghost face mask
Speaker 1: from Scream three.
Speaker 2: It's terrifying. Hold it's really scary. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Oh I understand, ear fly.
Speaker 2: I cannot believe you have one of those? Does everybody
Speaker 2: who works on the movie get one?
Speaker 3: They wouldn't let me take it, and I stole it.
Speaker 2: You did, te And that's why Scott Poley is a badass.
Speaker 2: He does it. Yeah, he's just a little bit of
Speaker 2: a rebel, Scott.
Speaker 3: They were very protected. They were very protective of it
Speaker 3: because they only had Obviously, they weren't like made, they
Speaker 3: weren't big commercially.
Speaker 1: Right now they're all over the place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now they're all over the place. But this was
Speaker 3: there special because they're a thicker plastic and they have
Speaker 3: lined the eyeholes extra heavy so when the lights from
Speaker 3: the production couldn't see the eyes through them. So there's
Speaker 3: they're double lined so you can't really see through them.
Speaker 3: Very well.
Speaker 1: Oh man, what a gem.
Speaker 2: You have a gem right there to save forever. Do
Speaker 2: you have anything from Scandal?
Speaker 3: Oh? I'm sure, yes, of course I do. I have
Speaker 3: a ton of stuff from Scandal.
Speaker 2: Did Shonda give you some sort of gift that was
Speaker 2: very Jake Ballard?
Speaker 3: I'm looking here, I have I have this from Scandal.
Speaker 2: Yay, Oh my god, it's a.
Speaker 1: Picture of everyone.
Speaker 3: There's more Scandal shit over there. I have a ton
Speaker 3: of it's just memorabilia. But from Scandal I took I
Speaker 3: bought my entire wardrobe. You know that shit?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. Everything was got here that you you
Speaker 2: hads and all this shit that you could use for
Speaker 2: press that had all been tailored exactly to your fucking body.
Speaker 1: They allowed you to take it. I mean to buy it.
Speaker 3: I don't even remember they said when we wrapped, they said,
Speaker 3: ABC would like to gift you with one iconic Scandal
Speaker 3: piece of your wardrobe. And I was like one iconic
Speaker 3: you walk into the we got seven seasons there, one
Speaker 3: hundred plus episodes. You walk in there and there's a
Speaker 3: mile of clothes with Katie.
Speaker 2: Quinn, with gir Mohart to see leather jackets. I'm not
Speaker 2: even kidding one hundred and fifty at least.
Speaker 3: So I and I called I have my Asian call ABC,
Speaker 3: and I said, Scott wants to buy it. It's all
Speaker 3: tailored for him. It has his name on there, his
Speaker 3: character's name, and they're beautiful Gucci suits, Zania suits, Varvado's
Speaker 3: let kids, one hundred pairs of shoes. And I thought like, well,
Speaker 3: if I buy that, I'll never have to buy again.
Speaker 3: And they initially said one hundred thousand dollars. What I
Speaker 3: was like, get I was like, get out of here.
Speaker 3: And then we talked them down to twenty five and
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, I'm not going to
Speaker 3: do it. And then they said five thousand dollars. You
Speaker 3: can have everything.
Speaker 2: Right worth it.
Speaker 3: So I took two trips in my pickup truck from
Speaker 3: Hidden Hills to Sunset Gower.
Speaker 1: And that's probably the mart thing you freaking did. Dude, Well,
Speaker 1: you have clothes for years, I.
Speaker 3: Have closed I had shoe boxes with the polaroids on
Speaker 3: the outside showing me what's in the box.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, do you wear your all my pants?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but all my pants have little holes in the
Speaker 3: back pocket for my mic.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah care.
Speaker 2: We will be back with more after the break. Talking
Speaker 2: about fashion moment of this episode, you got to go
Speaker 2: to a White House correspondent dinner as Olivia's date, right,
Speaker 2: and she is, oh, yeah, she's looking at him the
Speaker 2: whole time. His joke. Yeah, she betted his jokes. You're
Speaker 2: like such a little bitch baby on her arm. It's terrible.
Speaker 2: I feel so bad for you.
Speaker 3: It fits because I was wearing such a little bitch babe.
Speaker 3: You see how short that jacket was.
Speaker 1: I notice that.
Speaker 2: You're a military what it was?
Speaker 3: It wasn't white, it was military. The dark. So the dresses, yeah,
Speaker 3: the dresses, yo.
Speaker 1: But Carrie's dress, Oh my gosh, when she's walking down
Speaker 1: the hall, when she's walking down the hall, make.
Speaker 2: Her amazing sway. By the way, I wrote too in
Speaker 2: this episode, Olivia Pope has a walk in this episode
Speaker 2: and every episode with so much fucking swag and hip swaying.
Speaker 1: It's incredible, But this walk has extra swag because of
Speaker 1: that dress.
Speaker 3: Well, somehow that dress stays straight, but her shoulders all
Speaker 3: moving it like, it's amazing how that happens. It looks like.
Speaker 2: It though. I wrote hot Scott walking in a cargo
Speaker 2: coat and taken your Chicago coat and.
Speaker 1: A tight T shirt coat.
Speaker 2: Like pectoral muscles, and then B six thirteen comes and
Speaker 2: takes you.
Speaker 1: But that dress looked like she was wearing an origami piece, right,
Speaker 1: it looked like body ogami. But the designer of that
Speaker 1: dress is a dude named Ruben Singer Good, old Ruben
Speaker 1: Singer Good. But yeah, that dresses Singer.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait before we we're going to talk about one
Speaker 2: other thing, and then I know you have to go.
Speaker 2: Was there any eating in this episode? Jake Ballard offers
Speaker 2: to take Olivia for burgers. Lots of wine was drank
Speaker 2: at the dinner, but not a single person on Scream
Speaker 2: takes a bite of anything.
Speaker 1: Fuck that.
Speaker 2: We love it's our favorite thing.
Speaker 3: Ever, I'll tell you something. You guys have to know
Speaker 3: that anytime there's a scene that calls for eating, do
Speaker 3: not eat. I learned that very early on in my
Speaker 3: career doing a scene. It was either in Dawson s
Speaker 3: Creak or Felicity where I was eating cereal and they
Speaker 3: asked me what kind of cereal they wanted? Cereal I want,
Speaker 3: and I was like, Captain crunch. Come on, what do
Speaker 3: you mean? What kind of cereal do I want? Love
Speaker 3: Captain and I The first two bowls were great. You
Speaker 3: do nine ten takes different angles. I threw up. I
Speaker 3: don't know four or five times. You can't eat Captain
Speaker 3: Crunch anymore.
Speaker 1: You can't eat Captain Crunch anymore.
Speaker 6: You don't don't eat look like it, pick it up,
Speaker 6: pick the fore cup, put it down, talk, look around,
Speaker 6: think about it, move it around on your plate, cut it,
Speaker 6: get it, get out of here.
Speaker 1: I hear you, Scott, I hear you. But but listen,
Speaker 1: man watching a show. I love Gilmore Girls and those
Speaker 1: two women listen. They're lovely actresses. Their whole relationship revolves
Speaker 1: around loving food. And those two don't take one bite
Speaker 1: of anything, and it's so frustrating. Their cups of coffee
Speaker 1: are like they're handling them like there's nothing in them.
Speaker 3: Like you can't do it. Gee, you can't do it
Speaker 3: because you're not.
Speaker 1: Your shooting And I guess thing you have to keep doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're shooting it from straight on and then this
Speaker 3: angle and then that angle, and you got to do
Speaker 3: it at the exact same time every time to match,
Speaker 3: because you know the script. He comes in and yells
Speaker 3: at you. Yes.
Speaker 1: I remember Greg Henry had to eat jalapeno poppers in
Speaker 1: a scene on Scandal in Oba and he was regretting it,
Speaker 1: same thing you were saying, Scott, and he said he
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna he was so nauseous and bummed
Speaker 1: that he had to eat all that stuff. So I
Speaker 1: get it.
Speaker 3: And if you do, there are times where you do
Speaker 3: have like it calls for, you know, like, oh, they
Speaker 3: sensuously eat whatever it is. There's a spit bucket right
Speaker 3: next to you. Don't sallow that. Get rid of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way it goes also not only with eating,
Speaker 2: but was smoking because Adam did a finch your movie
Speaker 2: where they were smoking cigars and I said, listen to me,
Speaker 2: got it, roll it, smell it, whatever, don't you dare
Speaker 2: take a puff? And with him he does one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty takes. Everybody was puking. It was really bad. Okay, wait,
Speaker 2: before we let you go, we've got some tweets of
Speaker 2: the time for this episode. I hope this is one
Speaker 2: of those times where people were writing mean, mean tweets
Speaker 2: about I.
Speaker 1: Hope I want. Yeah, the meaner the better.
Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes Quinn too. Sometimes the tweets were
Speaker 2: death threats to Quinn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't want that.
Speaker 2: If she was if she was ever against Olivia, it
Speaker 2: was death threats. So I am sure when Olivia was
Speaker 2: going with Jake and not with Fits, I'm sure. Scott
Speaker 2: Foley's Twitter timeline was filled with some.
Speaker 1: Hate Guillermo at Guillermo mke come on now. He tweets
Speaker 1: a picture of himself dressed as homeless Huck and it
Speaker 1: says not hagrid tribute to Guillermo Diaz hashtag homeless Huck
Speaker 1: from Scandal, hashtag happy Halloween at Carrie Washington's protector. Oh
Speaker 1: that's a dope picture.
Speaker 2: It's a joke picture.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: This was also really cool. It was this episode aired
Speaker 2: on Halloween, so there's so many people, that's right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: as our characters for Halloween, Like we have full tweets
Speaker 2: of different offices that were copying like their whole group.
Speaker 2: Like somebody was Olivia Pope, someone was somebody was Quinn,
Speaker 2: somebody was Darby Abby so fucking I love all of
Speaker 2: you gladiators for doing that.
Speaker 1: This other one. Listen at Mary Howard, our own Mary
Speaker 1: Howard at Mary Eats, that's her handle. She tweets that
Speaker 1: just another day at hashtag Scandal production meeting episode three
Speaker 1: ten with director Tom Verica and first ad Jeremiah, and
Speaker 1: Jeremiah is dressed as Homeless Hawk as well. He was amazing.
Speaker 1: I remember that day we.
Speaker 2: Used to have on Halloween when we would shoot every year,
Speaker 2: we would have a costume contest, yes, where people dress
Speaker 2: up and you would get a contest and I think
Speaker 2: the winner got like either cash or something really fun.
Speaker 2: So obviously Jeremiah dressed up as Homeless Hawk covered in
Speaker 2: blood with like a huge hagrid Wig on yes at
Speaker 2: OsO brand New tweeted, oh its phone conversations just got
Speaker 2: to better and better, Like I live for those moments lol.
Speaker 2: Hashtag scandal, oh shit.
Speaker 1: At Tara Thomas tweeted the show Scandal is doing nothing
Speaker 1: but giving side chicks confidence and boldness hashtag sad. There's
Speaker 1: a mean one. There's a man. She's like, why y'all
Speaker 1: shining the light on all these side chicks? That's sad.
Speaker 1: Now I get a girl. I get it, but listen,
Speaker 1: sometimes that side piece sometimes you need that piece.
Speaker 2: Yes, we do sometimes sometimes I haven't had a side
Speaker 2: piece in so long, but it sounds fun. At Jimo
Speaker 2: and Williams, at Bellamy Young and at Carrie Washington are
Speaker 2: acting titans. The Presidential Suite scene was delicious, great work, ladies.
Speaker 2: Hashtag scandal that scene. We didn't mention it with Scott,
Speaker 2: but it was amazing. That's when Olivia is leaving the
Speaker 2: White House correspondence dinner and she's walking to the Presidential Suite.
Speaker 2: I think she's going to see Fits. She thinks they're
Speaker 2: going to have a late night hook up. And guess
Speaker 2: who's waiting for her there, Nellie, and she's come back
Speaker 2: to the White House. We need you.
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're having sex with my husband.
Speaker 1: We need you back.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 2: Is there anything that all the gladiators can tune into
Speaker 2: to see all the fancy shit you're currently doing?
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh my goodness, one of your shows is.
Speaker 2: Coming out now?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
