Yeah, I mean, I have 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.519 full faith that Mary Howard, our line producer, could have 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.359 made the show go post COVID world. But like you know, 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.919 we used to show up sick to work tidless. Yes, 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.760 like oh yeah, I mean Carrie could not fall down 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.880 and she had two little ones. In the later seasons 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.200 of Scandal, who like, as soon as your kids start 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.799 going to nursery school. You're fucked.

And 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.640 I remember her getting like either the flu or close 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.600 to the flu, like a million times over, and I 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:30.280 just was running around set passing out. Yeah, every homeopathic 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.760 and they used to once they sent the doctor to 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.440 my house to do like a house called because I 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.360 had like a fever and I was in the middle 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.920 of shooting when oh yeah, and she gave me like 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.560 that Z pack and some like shots or some shit. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.920 Because like you said, we just couldn't get sick. That 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.720 you know, not showing up was in an option. We 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.560 couldn't be like can't comment today like I'm you know 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.400 those scandal days where like your wellness and well being 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.120 was everybody else's responsibility to do. So you could just 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.000 like Mary Howard to be like I think you have 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.200 to send a doctor to my house to pack. It's 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.120 like now that we're regular mortals walking around the planet, 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:08.400 we have to figure out how to get our own 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.240 damn prescriptions.

Oh, he's so good, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:50.679 and I feel like in the beginning of this top 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.439 part of Scandal work. The episode opens and he's like 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:58.720 on our fake news channel, which is called BNC yea 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.640 our fake news network station on Scandal was called BNC 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.160 and Edison is on and he's talking about how the 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.400 president's fucking up and he's doing a bad job, and 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.160 this is all the things Edison things he should do 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:14.079 because he's a powerful senator. Olivia calls him and is like, dude, 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.600 you're wearing pinstripes. No one can even hear what you're 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.320 saying when your shirt is doing a weird jumpy thing. 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.679 The cap is moving back and forth, which is a 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.599 real thing. Oh yeah, I watch I Love Lucy And 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.480 back in the day they used to wear pin stripes. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.719 I remember those episodes and being so annoyed because I 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:36.360 was like, you know, their clothing is moving, it's so distracting. Wow. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.719 So it's funny that they you know, that he wore that, 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.839 like in modern times now and then we kind of 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.839 learned that they've like they're We're like, wait, what is 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.600 this relationship? Who is this new guy? There's obviously history 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:52.280 there up there. Yeah, so we get the case of 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.559 the week, which is this ringer of an actor playing 0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:03.079 Alreadie Horn by Hatrick Fishler, and holy shit, if this 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:04.599 one hell of a guest star and one hell of 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.440 a performance, and if someone's going to get an Emmy 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.160 for a guest start performance. The fact that this dude 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.680 was not nominated as a cry yo, talk about fitting 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.319 in right away, this little fucker. I remember walking in 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.559 seeing him standing on that on our conference table at 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.719 OPA and being just being like, this dude is so 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.559 freaking good. He just fit right in and had that 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:29.840 scandal pace down and was just stakes were so yeah, 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:31.800 now gee I was. I wrote it in my notes 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.120 when I was rewatching this episode. So, like, you know, 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.760 we're all back in OPA. Quinn's out of living at 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.080 Olivia's apartment, she's at of jail. Everyone's being a bitch 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.640 to her, mostly fucking abby. Like Quinn walks in, She's 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.520 back with like, hey, guys, I'm back at work, Like, 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.120 will you take me back. I've totally let go with 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.560 the Lindsay Dwyer identity and I am Quinn Perkinson. Here's 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.360 your coffee. And Harrison is like, hey, welcome back and 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.440 gives me like a lovely Harrison kiss on the cheek, 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:01.520 and Abby's like, yeah, welcome back, Lindsay. And and then 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.559 we walked into the office and it heart already, Like 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.040 you said, is standing on the table? Was that his 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.840 choice or was that written in the script? I don't remember. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.000 Whatever it was, it was brilliant, just that image of 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.839 him just standing on the table, fidgeting with the like 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.600 fixture above, you know, because he's freaking out about ship 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.000 being bugged. Um. Yeah, I don't remember whose idea that 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.840 was so good though, so good. Maybe it was Ron's 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:31.320 idea under a little little baby bubby Ron he said, 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:35.200 get up on that table. Um, But I love his performance. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.439 We all walk in and he starts talking about this 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:44.080 thing called thorn Gate, which is some insane intelligence shit. 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.760 How would you even describe this, shack or Giarmo. Yeah, yeah, 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.199 they're they're spying on citizens. It's not even like you know, 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.839 like world leaders or potential like terrorists or people that 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.280 you feel like the government would be spying on just 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:01.280 to you know, watch their backs wornate. They're literally spying 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.559 on just your common man or woman. They're spying on them. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.640 And this this dude. Yeah. He brings in this external 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.240 drive right and plugs it in, and then we see 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.520 I think the first person that we see Thornate like 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.600 alive and working was with Cyrus. Right. We see Cyrus 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.480 in the White House and he's chatting about the President. 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.319 He's talking to Hollis Doyle. I think this is when 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:29.480 we first learned that Cyrus's middle name is Cyrus Rutherford Bean, 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.400 because it's up on your computer.

I swear it, like right now, like Thornate 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.640 is alive and well, right now, say anybody's name. We 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.760 can fucking que into them right now and see where 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.240 they're at. And she's like fine, Cyrus Rutherford Bean, Oh 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.839 my god, Rutherford, I don't. I did not do a 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:50.959 deep dive on where that could possibly come from. But 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.160 I did not either. I did not either. Maybe someday, 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.800 but throwing it to Cyrus Rutherford Bean as we bring 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.240 as Opa breaks in to the case to figure out 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.280 about Thornate and what we do about it, the song 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:09.360 on the background is at the car wash yeah gosh, yeah, 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.240 which I know for a fucking fact that that is 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.599 Jeff Perry's favorite song of all times. You gotta be 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.880 kidding me. Oh my god, just the fact that that's 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:23.400 Jeff Perry's favorite song has made my freaking day, My rainy, rainy, 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.719 gloomy day is brightened it up? What to be that 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.199 once and he was like, I don't know if it 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.280 was while watching this episode and like writing down scandal tweets, 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:37.320 but in my memory, car wash is Jeff Perry's favorite 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:43.240 song of all fucking time. Picture him driving around the 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:49.320 shuffle of song. Oh my god, Oh my god, that's 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.439 it's a great it's a great background song for all 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.000 of us. And we're doing all our due diligence to 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.599 figure out about Thornate and who knows about it and 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.120 all this crap, and Olivia screams at all of us 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.960 to get already out. And the reason why Olivia freaks 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.240 out and orders us all to get already to a 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.160 safe place is because she has a meeting with Corinda 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.240 and essay director, and Corinna doesn't blink an eye when 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.840 Olivia brings up Thorngate, and that sort of puts up 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.240 a rep flag for for Olivia, and she's like, oh shit, 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.120 something's up. This woman is trying to cover something up 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.400 and can we just talk really quickly. The woman that 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:32.760 plays um corin Corinne star freaking Q Sack and Q 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.000 Sack who is I don't know what sibling line she's 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.600 in with? Uh John and Joan and Joan there are 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.680 another one wait let me go, I don't there might 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.640 be they might not be an actor though, Um okay. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:52.240 There's Joan Cusack obviously, so fucking famous, so amazing. There's 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.800 John Cusack. Oh so they both get names that start 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.760 with Jay, and poor ass.

But also she's been in movies 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.400 like Stigmata, which is another amazing horror film with Patricia Arquette. 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:20.000 She was in The Birdcage. But the one film that 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:25.800 she's in which she is just heartbreaking and stellar in 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.240 it is A League of their Own. She's in a 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.320 League of their Own. She plays Shirley Baker, the one 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.400 baseball player, the left fielder who in the beginning of 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.560 the film when they put up, you know, the lists 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.360 of the women that made it on the team, and 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.960 she makes it, but she can't read, so she can't 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.440 find her name. And it's the most heart wrenching scene 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.080 in that movie. It's so beautiful and she's so lovely 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:54.000 in that scene and so emotional, and and and Gina Davis. 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.120 Davis takes an Cusack to the side and is like, honey, 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.120 can you like not read it?

In the safe house where we take 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.000 Artie Hornbocker, it's like Hucks, like the first time we 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:48.640 see like Hucks, like you know, super like private, out 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:50.840 of the way like safe house where we take our 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.520 clients sometimes, And it was so much fun shooting there. 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:55.480 It was always so much fun going and shooting on 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.399 location because it felt like we just all had so 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.840 much fun. We were like little kids when we got 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.760 to leave the OPA set. Right, that safe house was 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:07.280 not on a stage. No, it might have been on 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.320 It might have been on a stage, but it wasn't 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.960 at Sante Gower, right, It was somewhere else. Is my 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.280 mind that that's what I remember. But god, I do 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.160 remember shooting it. It was so cool, Like so basically 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:23.800 this is an underground, sub level fucking thing that Olivia 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:28.240 Pope and associates owns that you sort of it's Huck's 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.760 place or something. Yeah, but I think it's Huck's place. 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.240 I think it's I feel like Huck's had this spot 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.159 for a minute, you know what I mean, But he 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.080 was homeless for a while, so possibly Opa Olivia paid 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.399 for for it and you know, to create it and 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.200 to have it. But I do remember it being so cool, 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.320 and like they would always like add smoke to it, 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.680 maybe like just so that the lighting always looked like 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.399 kind of eerie and sort of like underground, and and 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.600 like it's not so clear and it's really dark and dingy. 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.840 But yeah, it was very cool. It was very very cool. Yeah, 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.879 I was super fun shooting down there. So ladies at 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.399 the safe house, Quinn and Huck are there watching him. 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:14.320 Huk is under like nd stress to like break into 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:16.960 Thornate and like copy it or some shit. I don't 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.360 know what hacking crap you're doing. You're doing something, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:24.800 Well they when they first um pop in that external 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:28.240 drive that already brings to OPA, it sort of fizzles 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:31.800 out and a firewall goes up, and now Huck has 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.760 to break into that firewall so we have evidence to 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.400 be able then to go to the authorities and be like, look, 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:42.200 this Thornate is happening and it's fucked up. Here's the evidence. 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.120 So that's what Huck is trying to do. And you know, yeah, 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.280 like you said, he's super stressed because it's you know, 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:51.359 it's extremely difficult to look at you firewall with that 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:56.040 fucking terminology big words fire firewall, so into it. I 0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:59.520 haven't said firewall since we shot Scandal, that's for damn sure. 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:05.960 And my favorite scene of this episode, skipping a little ahead, 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:11.560 is Fits is so pissed because they've gotten picks.
