When you post 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:17.680 on Instagram. I get so excited. They're so addictive and infectious, 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.520 and that character you play is just the dopest Galchy's 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:24.280 You're so good at what you do. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.920 You guys are too much. I also just like really 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.919 need it to be said, like I really just wish 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.159 I had a mirror and like a camera and a 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.480 time machine that I could go to myself. In college 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:40.800 when I used to like bootleg Scandal to it that 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:42.720 I would stay up, I'm not kidding someone. It was 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.360 like a problem. I was staying up to four in 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.159 the morning. I couldn't get myself to go to sleep 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.320 because I was so intensely watching it, so obsessed, talked 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.560 about until everyone who would listen to me, And if 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.360 I could show you guys saying that about me. 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.920 I love that And for listeners, hold on a second, 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:03.320 you so that people don't know who Jill McGrath is. Explain, 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.800 explore backtrack, explain to me how you guys originally know 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.680 each other, because it was Gearmo's idea that was like 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:14.360 Sabrina who has pulse of all the people like Scandal, 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:15.720 and I'm like, what we need to get her on 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:16.120 the podcast. 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.400 She also has a deeper connection to the show Scandal 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.520 than just watching it and being a fan. And we'll 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:22.599 get into that as well. 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.760 And we'll tell me why you first met each other 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:25.479 and who Jill is. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.840 So the first connection that we're talking about right now 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:33.400 is that when I graduated college, a time in which 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:39.560 I was at my scandal heights of obsession, an intensity, 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.960 you could call it, like a mental breakdown. Ways, I 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.000 graduated college. A month later I started working for Jill 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:51.159 McGrath as her assistant, and I sat, I remember sitting 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.039 in the interviewing situation, and she was like, yes, like, 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.120 we have really incredible clients. Did a duck your moodias 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:03.280 And I went, I'm sorry, huk, Yeah, I know who 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.920 that is. And then I got the job. And then 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:10.200 for two years I assisted Jill and all of her 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.080 incredible clients, including King Kiirmo and. 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.040 Jill's a very fancy Hollywood manager. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.800 Yeah, Jill is my manager. And now she's Sabrina's manager 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:22.560 as well. Full circle. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.080 Another thing that I would not have believed if you 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.080 had told me yes. 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.240 At that time, How did that come to pass? Like, 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.320 how did that conversation. 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.160 Manifestation is I think a very real thing. I certainly 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.200 manifested it and dreamed about it like every day when 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.520 I was working for her. Never thought that was going 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.880 to be a possibility, But she and I just of 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.240 course stayed in it as great friends and had a 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.600 mentor mentee relationship even after I left her desk for 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.480 another desk, And so for a while, it was just 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.960 that thing where it's like your ex boss who is 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.240 your friend, And she was the number one person I 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.320 was always learning from, even as I moved away from 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.800 that job, and until finally when the other stuff started happening, 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.600 it was really like an organic she At first it 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.040 was just a friend, and then it just made sense, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.520 and so much of what I do and how I've 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.080 learned is from her. So it kind of it's been 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.800 nice where it's like the partnership now is so organic 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:23.200 as well. 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.400 But also, Sabrina, we can both agree that Jill is 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.240 a hard ass. Jill is no joke. She doesn't just 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.720 if she chose you to be your manager, she believes 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.160 in you one hundred percent. I feel like I'm still 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:38.960 auditioning for Jill and I've been with her for over 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:40.000 twenty something years. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.480 Yeah, she's pretty scary, Like, I love her. I've hung 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.280 out with her a thousand times on this scandel no 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.160 her Cadie I did. Oh my god. I absolutely love her. 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.720 She's so hardcore. Also, nothing is more appropriate for this 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.800 episode that we're going to get into today except that 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:02.800 I just had a cavity redone. I am not We 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.920 are talking about the episode where Quinn got her teeth 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.200 pulled out by Huck and I literally, I am not kidding. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.760 We didn't know we were going to do this episode today. 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.480 This disappointment has been in the books four weeks.

Jill always was like trying to write and make things. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.000 That was always the plan was to make things and perform. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.280 I just wasn't sure how I was going to do it. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.679 When I left Jill, I was a writer's assistant, and 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.320 I was still continuing to work in the television industry 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.760 in the more formal way, and then in COVID. I 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.559 wasn't one of the like viral COVID people, but how 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.400 insane I felt during quarantine made me finally start putting 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.040 myself on Instagram, which was something I think I really 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:21.480 in my gut always wanted to do, but it was 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.679 really afraid.

I remember walking into Varsha's room 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.720 and she was like, I just had like a freaking dream, 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.440 like I just like it felt so real, like there 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.280 was this war in like B six thirteen was there. 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:02.880 It felt so real that. I was like, what are 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.360 you talking about? She was like Scandal. I was like, 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.160 and I hadn't. I was not exposed to Shonda. I 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.199 was not a Gray's House like growing up, so it 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.679 was just not something I didn't really understand any I 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.360 think I even watched How To Get Away with Murder 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:20.720 first before, and so I was like, Wow, well, she's 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:24.960 really feeling a deep, scared connection to the show. I 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.440 probably should check it out. And she's a doctor now, 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.520 so she really knew what she was talking about, and 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.840 I really knew and I so I was like, I 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.400 guess I'll try this Scandal thing. What it was like 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.840 a disease that took over me. I'm pretty sure I 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.160 would like skip class. Sorry, parents. I couldn't stop watching. 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.520 I couldn't pry my eyes away. And then in the 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.160 midst of that, I had a friend who was like, 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.400 guess who I'm connected with now and who I can 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:58.160 introduce you to? Is that here? McGhee, Yes, hear me. 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.400 He was one of the staple rate writers on Scandal 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.200 for a long. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:08.600 Time, absolute icon, king of a man. Yes, and just 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.760 not only the most incredible person to me as a mentor, 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.400 but also the fact that he happened to be so 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.480 involved with scandal. It was just crazy, and so I 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.760 spent like a year kind of being like, here's so funny. 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.600 I thought, what if I like interned and I just 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.240 really pitched and he was really trying to make it 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.240 happen for me too, because he is an angel. And 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.760 then it was only like not that it was like 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.320 may or something. I got called from Mary Howard. So 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:42.600 I interned member of twenty uh sixteen. I want to 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.040 say the summer before my senior year of college, I 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.280 spent three weeks as a production intern. Tom Verracle was 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:49.040 the direction. 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.840 Of the episode I am dying. What was the episode? 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.120 Do you remember anything about it? 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.720 It was the last season. It might have been like 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.120 six oh one, like it might because it was sixty. Yeah, 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.080 because Tom would. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.720 Have only directed the start and the last, so that 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.800 makes sense he would only direct the first episode in 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:10.600 the last episode of the season. 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.360 I don't six sounds more right to me than seven. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:14.120 We meet? 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:15.080 Did we meet? 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:15.320 Right? 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:16.840 Did we see you on Saturday? 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:23.240 I never met Germo up close. I Katie we definitely 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.120 were in like crafty together. I was. 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.160 I was definitely crafty. 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.520 I'm surprised I wasn't there and crafty with because Katie 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.120 and I would be like, do you want to get food? 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:35.240 And we're like, yeah, let's go get food. 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.000 Always a scene that you weren't in. That would be 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.400 the only reason why Katie. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.240 I definitely remember like you coming back. I was scared. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.240 I think at one point I was like getting food, 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:47.320 like right next to Tony Goldwin, so I was like, hi, Tony, 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:48.960 and so it was like but I was so scared 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:50.920 that I was only waiting for the exact moment I 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.320 could say hi to people. And I don't think it 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.400 ever happened with either of you guys. And I also 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.520 wasn't on set the whole time. I had some days 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.560 on set, but I went on like location and scouts, 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.120 which was really cool. And then Scott was like directing 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.000 the next episode. It might have been one of the 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:09.399 first I actually want his location scout too, And I 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.320 remember we all went to fancy restaurant like, oh wow, idea, 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.760 what's happening? And I was just like And also like, 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.119 when you're an intern in college because of all those 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.000 labor laws, you can't really do. 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.720 Any No, you can't.

There's nothing I could do. If 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.520 you can't touch the costumes, you can't touch anything, so 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.680 like to be useful, I was like dying. It's not 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.200 just be in everyone's way.
