Speaker 1: Welcome to Desperately Devoted.
Speaker 2: Join us as we explore the human experience through the
Speaker 2: lens of the iconic show Desperate Comeswise.
Speaker 3: I'm Terry Hatcher, I'm Andrea Lewen.
Speaker 4: And I'm Emerson Tanny Hie. You guys, Hey, I am
Speaker 4: so glad we're back here. If you cannot wait until
Speaker 4: next Tuesday, we've been doing these little bonus episodes on
Speaker 4: Thursday because.
Speaker 1: We can't wait.
Speaker 5: I can't wait, I says, I can't wait a week
Speaker 5: to see the two of you. So, yes, I'm glad
Speaker 5: we're doing our Thursday episodes.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Desperately Devoted. Yes, and I'm so I know.
Speaker 4: We had a moment that really stood out from episode
Speaker 4: ten come back to Me, and it was when Susan
Speaker 4: was lighting candballs in her attempt which of course gets
Speaker 4: thwarted by Zach but to seduce Mike, and she puts
Speaker 4: on an al green song. Anyone know it is?
Speaker 1: Oh man, take me.
Speaker 5: You know, let's just spend the whole ten minutes with
Speaker 5: Andreas singing this song.
Speaker 3: How about that? I was okay.
Speaker 5: I don't know how many verses we get away with
Speaker 5: before we get sued.
Speaker 2: I'm not or how many verses can a super pregnant
Speaker 2: woman get through without passing out?
Speaker 1: Because is not the same.
Speaker 4: We can find out. I thought it was interesting that
Speaker 4: come and take Me and come back to Me, come
Speaker 4: back to Me as the name of the title of
Speaker 4: the episode, come and Take Me as the Algreen song.
Speaker 3: I don't know if anyone thought about that.
Speaker 4: It's a very sexy song, and I know that we
Speaker 4: were talking about after we finished recording that music and
Speaker 4: making playlists, playlists to set the mood, whether that's romantically
Speaker 4: or for a work experience. I know for me, I
Speaker 4: am a huge playlist maker for literally any professional or
Speaker 4: emotional experience I am going through in my life. So
Speaker 4: we had more to say on this, and I'm.
Speaker 3: Am excited to talk about it.
Speaker 5: First of all, just within the scene itself, I just like,
Speaker 5: that's me at.
Speaker 3: My best, that is you know.
Speaker 5: I've often talked about how I approach comedy from the
Speaker 5: point of view of choreography, and I think that comes
Speaker 5: from the dance background that I have, so getting to
Speaker 5: actually combine literally the music, the dance sort of movement,
Speaker 5: and the comedy all in one, like that's that's that's
Speaker 5: my that's my.
Speaker 3: Day at the beach. I mean that that really are.
Speaker 4: You're singing in that in that scene when you with
Speaker 4: your little hair around, And.
Speaker 2: Then you remember, were you actually playing the music? I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously they for sound, I'm sure they put it in afterwards,
Speaker 2: but for you when you were acting out the scene,
Speaker 2: were you playing the music for yourself?
Speaker 5: I think what we did and I can't say that
Speaker 5: I remember this, but I remember this as it applies
Speaker 5: to different times in my career.
Speaker 3: That usually the way you approach.
Speaker 5: A scene like this with music is that you'll play
Speaker 5: the music many times to sort of figure out what
Speaker 5: the choreography in the movement is. And even with the
Speaker 5: extra in a scene like if there's a bar scene,
Speaker 5: they'll play the music. So they'll roll the camera say action,
Speaker 5: play the music, and they and so the bar, all
Speaker 5: the extras are on the rhythm of the music, and
Speaker 5: then they cut the music out and it's up to
Speaker 5: you to keep that rhythm in your head and then
Speaker 5: the actors can start saying their dialogue. So that's kind
Speaker 5: of how it works when music is a part of
Speaker 5: a scene like in a bar or something. I mean,
Speaker 5: when it's important, when it's when their people are dancing
Speaker 5: a specific way. I had to do that once in
Speaker 5: a Hallmark Christmas movie anyway, or maybe it wasn't.
Speaker 3: A Christmas movie.
Speaker 5: Maybe it was just a regular Hallmark movie anyway. So
Speaker 5: I imagine that's what we did here. But I just think,
Speaker 5: first of all, I can't believe they got the rights
Speaker 5: to this. It's such a sexy song. This is definitely
Speaker 5: a song that I would.
Speaker 3: Have sex to. I was gonna say I ever had sex.
Speaker 4: What are your I feel like there are so many
Speaker 4: different sexy songs. Do you have any like right now
Speaker 4: currently in your life? Songs that you feel like are
Speaker 4: sort of like like this is kind of like I'm
Speaker 4: in a vibe because I can go first, here are
Speaker 4: a couple of songs I know you're gonna like really
Speaker 4: get to peek into the vast that I know, fucking weirdo.
Speaker 3: Okay, blood Bank by Bony Ver.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: The very sexy song Win Tree. Sexy song I have
Speaker 4: to put like all time. I think sexy song is
Speaker 4: Van Morrison's Crazy Love.
Speaker 1: How does that go?
Speaker 3: Can you sing that?
Speaker 4: Little?
Speaker 3: Well? I'm not a singer.
Speaker 4: It's like, but just like give me love.
Speaker 3: Right, crazy?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, you don't it's just enough. It's like happy uh,
Speaker 5: and that's all just the right amount.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 4: I think. Also another song that is like a new
Speaker 4: song that i've if you're kind of if you're into
Speaker 4: a more like ambient indie sexy background, may I recommend
Speaker 4: RoadHead by Japanese Breakfast.
Speaker 2: You can even mince words at all there.
Speaker 5: So I'm remembering this from from actually from my teenage years.
Speaker 3: Not in a good way.
Speaker 4: No one's having good sex in their teenage.
Speaker 5: Years, right, but Pink Floyd, I feel like I had
Speaker 5: a lot of songs that you would have long episodes
Speaker 5: of sex to.
Speaker 1: That's teenage stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, I mean it's very viby.
Speaker 1: It's very viby.
Speaker 5: Pink.
Speaker 3: I'm wanna add when I.
Speaker 1: Get My Hands on You by the New Basement Tapes.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I love this song. A dear friend
Speaker 4: of mine who will remain nameless but they'll know who
Speaker 4: they are, who has been in my life in many
Speaker 4: different types of capacities and is still a very good
Speaker 4: friend of mine, is a musician who toured with Marcus
Speaker 4: Mumford and played that song with him. And I saw
Speaker 4: them play this song a lot, and it is a
Speaker 4: very sexy song.
Speaker 2: I agree also in general about playlists.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge playlist person.
Speaker 2: I recently my best friend got married, and as part
Speaker 2: of one of her wedding gifts, I had and a
Speaker 2: few of our close friends put together a gift for
Speaker 2: her where all of her bridesmaids created actual CDs burned CDs,
Speaker 2: so I compiled playlists from all of them based on
Speaker 2: their memories with her, or concerts they went to, or
Speaker 2: songs that make them think of her, and then I
Speaker 2: had to figure out how to get a CD burner.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five, I sat and I was burning CDs,
Speaker 2: and I just loved the experience so much because not
Speaker 2: only did it offer a peek and insight into their
Speaker 2: friendships individually with her, to see what kind of genres
Speaker 2: and artists that made them think of her, but also
Speaker 2: just sitting and being that intentional to create and curate something.
Speaker 2: It just makes you appreciate everything so much more than
Speaker 2: just like whatever streaming service is kind of.
Speaker 1: Sending your way.
Speaker 2: You being in the driver's seat of that makes the
Speaker 2: experience so much more meaningful.
Speaker 5: I do want to just say, like to our listeners
Speaker 5: that I just I want to remind people, as I'm
Speaker 5: reminding myself how important music can be in your life
Speaker 5: and to a moment and to your mood. I once
Speaker 5: had a friend who reads angel cards. Have you, guys
Speaker 5: ever had your cards read? Like your friend read my
Speaker 5: angel cards?
Speaker 3: Oh, you read your angel cards?
Speaker 1: Explain what angel cards are?
Speaker 5: Well, I guess it's sort of a version of a
Speaker 5: tarot card reading, you know, like they have a deck
Speaker 5: and certain cards come out and then they tell you
Speaker 5: certain things about yourself. And but it's supposedly supposedly your
Speaker 5: angels of like what they want. They're looking out for you.
Speaker 5: And one of my things was that I needed to
Speaker 5: listen to more music, and she was really right, and
Speaker 5: I that's the I bring this up just to say that, like,
Speaker 5: I'm a you too. I think are your playlist builders?
Speaker 5: You know you've both said like, I know Emerson builds
Speaker 5: playlists when she's writing scripts. She's if you want to go,
Speaker 5: you should go to Emerson Tenny's Spotify, and like, look
Speaker 5: at her, and Andrew, I'm assuming yours also, like look
Speaker 5: at their playlist, don't look at mine. I just but
Speaker 5: because I don't, I don't do that, Like that wasn't
Speaker 5: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't grow up with.
Speaker 5: Music in my life that way, and I think, to
Speaker 5: my detriment, I think it's really impactful. So you know,
Speaker 5: I put on. What I do is I find a
Speaker 5: song that I like, Like, there's a song I've been
Speaker 5: listening to a lot, Got to Be Real by Cheryl
Speaker 5: Lee and if.
Speaker 3: You see real, got to Be Real.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm into the kind of like seventies R and B.
Speaker 5: So if you go, you know, I want to listen
Speaker 5: to God to Be Real radio, then it just like
Speaker 5: shows you a It gives you a bunch of songs
Speaker 5: that like kind of have that vibe. So I'm just
Speaker 5: to the person unlike you two, who doesn't really have
Speaker 5: a handle on music, but I imagine probably could have
Speaker 5: their life benefited by adding more music. That's my recommendation.
Speaker 5: Another story. I just just bringing you back to like acting,
Speaker 5: and I think people might be interested in this. A
Speaker 5: long time ago, I got sent a script to read
Speaker 5: by Sean Penn like that I mean through our agents,
Speaker 5: I mean, but it was a Sean Penn. He was
Speaker 5: directing it, I think, And when they sent the script
Speaker 5: it arrived with a CD that I.
Speaker 3: Was supposed to de coded.
Speaker 4: This is so me coded.
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be so cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was supposed to listen to the CD while
Speaker 5: I read the script. And that was the first time.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is decades ago, so that was the
Speaker 5: first time I'd been exposed to even that idea of like, oh,
Speaker 5: but it makes so much sense to me because I
Speaker 5: use you know, I've not necessarily on Housewives, but like
Speaker 5: I recall using music like in my trailer before a
Speaker 5: scene to sort of.
Speaker 3: Set a mood in my mind.
Speaker 5: It's very impactful, like music can make you cry, you know,
Speaker 5: if I mean, I know.
Speaker 4: You said this, But speaking to the Sean Penn CD.
Speaker 4: Every script I write, as I'm working on the treatment
Speaker 4: phase or the idea phase of the script before I
Speaker 4: really break ground on writing the actual script itself, I
Speaker 4: make a playlist for the project and it's, you know,
Speaker 4: normally around it's not too long, normally it's like an
Speaker 4: hour forty five minutes, like something kind of contained, like
Speaker 4: a close seven or eight songs, and I will listen
Speaker 4: to it a lot, and then I'll start writing the project.
Speaker 4: But then sometimes if I get stuck or if I'm
Speaker 4: trying to figure out a new element.
Speaker 3: I'll put on the playlist.
Speaker 4: And sometimes at that point it's a playlist I made,
Speaker 4: you know, eight months ago, and I'll drive in my car.
Speaker 4: I love to drive from Sunset all the way downtown
Speaker 4: like bur Caesarshaves turns into Sunset, all the way to Malibu,
Speaker 4: just down Sunset and then up and I will listen
Speaker 4: to the playlist over and over again, and it really
Speaker 4: helps me watch the movie. I'm trying to come up
Speaker 4: with in my head, the way you would have a
Speaker 4: soundtrack to any movie you were watching that already existed.
Speaker 4: And I've set that to a lot of friends of
Speaker 4: mine who are trying to break ground on a project,
Speaker 4: that that can be a really helpful tool for becoming
Speaker 4: creatively unstuck.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, it can be incredibly helpful
Speaker 5: for you just getting the dishes done.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, yeah, it's true, yes, And that's.
Speaker 1: A mood shifter.
Speaker 2: It's an instant mood shifter, and I think it can
Speaker 2: be really useful for working. I think it can be
Speaker 2: really useful for just setting you know, the vibe of
Speaker 2: when you're having friends over. It can be really personal
Speaker 2: and how you can help your mood throughout the day
Speaker 2: shift depending on how you're fee or getting unstuck. I've
Speaker 2: definitely used playlists and artists. I've changed them based on
Speaker 2: different characters I've played. So I really love hearing how
Speaker 2: we all incorporate music into our lives. And actually, something
Speaker 2: you said, Terry made me think we should create a
Speaker 2: desperately devoted playlist that people can can find where we
Speaker 2: all contribute something to it based on.
Speaker 3: Its great idea. Okay, we have that Love's note. We
Speaker 3: will get right on that.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 4: I love that we were able to revisit more of
Speaker 4: the music in this episode, episode ten, and I'm going
Speaker 4: to be a contributor to the playlist.
Speaker 3: You're going to be top contributor. For sure.
Speaker 5: You will get some very cool music in there. I
Speaker 5: think it's sort of amazing to, you know, because Desperate
Speaker 5: Housewives use this music so beautifully throughout the show that,
Speaker 5: like Wisteria Lane, music on Desperate Housewives is a really
Speaker 5: important character. And so we'll keep we'll keep exploring that.
Speaker 5: And uh yeah, I I just I just want to
Speaker 5: remind everybody to let music elevate your life because it's
Speaker 5: there for you.
Speaker 4: And maybe you can even get some unlike my Consusan.
Speaker 2: Here's hoping that's the goal.
Speaker 5: Go out and get some Okay, thanks everybody, see you
Speaker 5: next week.
