Speaker 1: Unpacking the Toolbox is a production of Shondaland Audio in
Speaker 1: partnership with Iheartradiots in Katie.
Speaker 2: What is on your shirt?
Speaker 1: Oh, man, I have a shirt. I'm obsessed with great
Speaker 1: white sharks. If people know me, I'm obsessed with sharks.
Speaker 1: And I have this T shirt that says let them
Speaker 1: Be and it has like four different photos of you know,
Speaker 1: extremely sort of majestic looking great white sharks.
Speaker 2: Oh. By the way, when Gharmu and I send videos
Speaker 2: to each other, which we do all the time, he's
Speaker 2: usually standing underneath a great white shark that's hanging from
Speaker 2: your ceiling in your house, and you're always like, oh no.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like a yeah, it's a sort of
Speaker 1: eleven x fourteen, like like a model of a great
Speaker 1: white shark. Yeah, that we hung to my ceiling.
Speaker 2: Why do you like these animals? These convincement.
Speaker 1: I am fascinated by them, and I'm terrified of them.
Speaker 1: You know, I can barely go in the ocean because
Speaker 1: I think of sharks. But at the same time, I
Speaker 1: have this huge respect for them because they're so they're
Speaker 1: so unpredictable and they could just that's their world, the ocean,
Speaker 1: And we sort.
Speaker 2: Of they since the dinosaurs. Oh yeah, yeah, Like that's
Speaker 2: what fucking blows my mind. It's like when I'm reading
Speaker 2: Albi's fucking dinosaur books at bedtime before he goes to sleep,
Speaker 2: and they're like the Jurassic Age and this age and whatever.
Speaker 2: It's like, sixty five million years ago, sharks were their people.
Speaker 1: Sharks were motherfucking there. Yeah, there's some sharks in the oceans,
Speaker 1: like in Africa, I know in certain spots, and I
Speaker 1: think that Lupe Island in Mexico where they've spotted extremely
Speaker 1: like ridiculous, lessly large sharks. Like there's some sharks in
Speaker 1: the ocean we don't even know about that are just
Speaker 1: of massive proportions.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been to the Museum of Natural History
Speaker 2: downtown La.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, we need to move.
Speaker 2: We need to go down there because in a huge
Speaker 2: case a live one infamaldehyde, they have a a megamouth,
Speaker 2: a megamouth shark. Yeah, the most disgusting thing I have
Speaker 2: ever seen in my life. My children screamed. I almost
Speaker 2: asked for my money back. My children can't unsee that creature.
Speaker 2: It was absolutely horrifying.
Speaker 1: Is it the full shark? Is it just a mouth.
Speaker 2: In a case, the mouth is open and it looks
Speaker 2: like I'm never say it like it just everyone google
Speaker 2: megamouth shark and it's horrifying and carcareous.
Speaker 1: That's the scientific name of a great white shark.
Speaker 2: You are adorable.
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be my next tattoo. I'm going
Speaker 1: to get that written on my on the left side
Speaker 1: of my chest.
Speaker 2: Carcarrion Cardarius Kim Kardashian, What Kardashian you've shot in South
Speaker 2: Africa before?
Speaker 1: I have?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a place where you can go in
Speaker 2: a cage and swim with great white sharks.
Speaker 1: Yes, I tried to go and production would not. I
Speaker 1: was stupid enough to mention it to one of the
Speaker 1: producers and they said, hell no, and they would not
Speaker 1: allow me to do it.
Speaker 2: Germo, I honestly think you might have had a heart attack.
Speaker 2: Like that's pretty scary, like not only because a it's
Speaker 2: absolutely horrifying, but b because you know so much about them.
Speaker 2: It's been such a huge part of your life. It's
Speaker 2: similar to you meeting Madonna on Ellen, where you like
Speaker 2: had a heart attack.
Speaker 1: I did. I did. I almost slipped and fell on
Speaker 1: my ass. I bowed down to her. I showed her
Speaker 1: my tattoo of her. I was just a bumbling mess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to get into this episode. But wait,
Speaker 2: I love them. We're making I'm making a cross connection
Speaker 2: between Great White Charts and Madonna. But garyma Diez is
Speaker 2: obsessed with Madonna, I believe. I remember I realized it
Speaker 2: when you went on a talk show during Scandal and
Speaker 2: the whoever's was the host was like, I'm gonna put
Speaker 2: every single Madonna record down, and you need to put
Speaker 2: them in order of when they came out, right, And
Speaker 2: it was like watching like a mad genius scientist at work.
Speaker 2: You lined them up in under twenty seconds, like this
Speaker 2: was an eighty two, this one, eighty three, eighty four,
Speaker 2: eighty five, eighty six and a half eighty nine, and
Speaker 2: like I was like.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and Katie, I still have all the
Speaker 1: because they were photos like eight x ten and they
Speaker 1: gave them to me at the end of the show.
Speaker 1: I have them right here, like they're right in front
Speaker 1: of me over there, like I still have them.
Speaker 2: What show was it?
Speaker 1: It was Access Hollywood? Remember, Oh my god?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Wait, tell the story when Porscha comes to
Speaker 2: work and knows that Madonna's going to be a guest
Speaker 2: on Ellen.
Speaker 1: Yes. Yes, what happened before that, Ellen had had you know,
Speaker 1: the Scandal cast, and she'd had me on by myself
Speaker 1: on the show. Yes, And so I've talked a ton
Speaker 1: about Madonna to Ellen. I showed Ellen my Madonna tattoo.
Speaker 1: She on one of the episodes that I did of
Speaker 1: the Ellen Show. Ellen gave me an Ellen tattoo and
Speaker 1: they put it on me. It was so funny that
Speaker 1: looked like the Madonna tattoo. So anyway, so Ellen knew
Speaker 1: I had I had this obsession with Madonna. So cut
Speaker 1: to Porsche being on Scandal. Now she I believe She
Speaker 1: mentioned saying, hey, Ellen is going to have Madonna on
Speaker 1: and she wants she's going to bring you on as
Speaker 1: a guest DJ when she comes on, and I was
Speaker 1: like what you know? I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: is this real? And then it happened. Ellen Ellen Show
Speaker 1: called me and they were like, we wouldn't want you
Speaker 1: to be the guest DJ, and Madonna is our guest
Speaker 1: and Ellen brought me but also the kicker. I got
Speaker 1: to the Ellen Show and you're in your dressing room,
Speaker 1: you know, and they they brought me in early. They
Speaker 1: brought me in like noon, and we were taping at
Speaker 1: like four, and I was like, why are they bringing
Speaker 1: me in so early? And then Ellen comes to my room, Ellen,
Speaker 1: not her producers, Ellen, and she's like, come on, come downstairs,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go watch Madonna rehearse with no one in
Speaker 1: the audience. So Ellen brought me down and sat me
Speaker 1: in the audience, me, Ellen and Ellen's mother No and
Speaker 1: she rehearsed the song twice. It was living for Love
Speaker 1: and it was crazy. I'm so grateful to Ellen.
Speaker 2: And then I remember it. I remember it. They called
Speaker 2: you up on stage when she was a guest and
Speaker 2: you got down on your knees and you held her
Speaker 2: hand like she was the motherfucking queen of England. Yeah,
Speaker 2: bow to the altar. That is Madonna.
Speaker 1: And I remember looking up at her and she had
Speaker 1: this look on her face like Yep, that's exactly right,
Speaker 1: that's what you should be doing, which made me love
Speaker 1: her even more. She was just illuminating this white light.
Speaker 1: I was like, I love you anyway.
Speaker 2: We're talking today about episode two O five, called All
Speaker 2: Roads Lead to Fits, which aired on November eighth of
Speaker 2: twenty twelve and was written by Ramaala Mohammed.
Speaker 1: H We Love Her And it was directed by Steve
Speaker 1: Robin and it.
Speaker 2: Was guest starring Tom Amandy's as Samuel Restin, Brenda Strong
Speaker 2: as Joan Reston, Audrey Wazuluski as Alison Becker.
Speaker 1: And we have Colin Douglas as Steve Dougherty, and Mina
Speaker 1: Baddie as assistant US Attorney Jane.
Speaker 2: Powell quick ass synopsis to jog y'all's memories about episode
Speaker 2: two O five and all the scandalicious deliciousness that happened
Speaker 2: during this episode. We have Hollis Doyle hosts a private
Speaker 2: meeting with Verna Thornton, Cyrus, Bean, Melli, Grant, Olivia Pope
Speaker 2: about how David Rosen is looking too much into defiance.
Speaker 2: Verna arranges for David to get his job back on
Speaker 2: one condition he stopped his obsession into Olivia popeen Citron.
Speaker 1: After Governor Samuel Resling kills a contractor who is raping
Speaker 1: his wife Joan, he contacts Olivia Pope for help. Although
Speaker 1: things are not as simple as they.
Speaker 2: Seem at the White House. Cyrus's husband James, decides to
Speaker 2: return to work as a political journalist. He causes trouble
Speaker 2: for Cyrus when he prizes for answers.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile contempts to have a normal date with Becky asking
Speaker 1: Harrison for help.
Speaker 2: That was just a nice back and forth. I fucking
Speaker 2: love this episode me too, the twists and the turns.
Speaker 2: And it's written by the incredible Ramla Mohammed, who was
Speaker 2: like a baby I think she was like a researcher
Speaker 2: on Grays or something. Wow, she was a researcher on Grays,
Speaker 2: then became a baby writer into a big dog writer
Speaker 2: on Scandal, and now she just wrote Unreasonable Doubt, which
Speaker 2: aired on Hulu and Carrie Washington directed and I think
Speaker 2: the executive produced it, and it is fucking fire.
Speaker 1: It is so good. I remember Ramala being coming on
Speaker 1: set because you know, the writers of that particular episode
Speaker 1: would come on set in case the director or the
Speaker 1: actors had questions or something needs to get rewritten. But
Speaker 1: Ramala was always such a she was just like us,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like just like us. We
Speaker 1: fucking joked around with her and it was just such
Speaker 1: a good freaking time.
Speaker 2: Like sometimes there were writers that would come on that
Speaker 2: were you know, older and more senior and like they'd
Speaker 2: been on a million shows and we felt like sort
Speaker 2: of kids to them, but like Ramala felt like we did, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: she felt like such a kid, and we like who
Speaker 2: were dating and like and all that shit. Yes, Now, Also,
Speaker 2: what's different about Scandal and why the writers are so
Speaker 2: important to us and why we got to know them
Speaker 2: so well? I think on other shows and correct me
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. Most of the time, the showrunners a
Speaker 2: lot of times are on the set. Shanna doesn't come
Speaker 2: to set. She stays in the writer's room. And what
Speaker 2: she does is every single episode, she assigns a writer
Speaker 2: to stay on set, and so our writers who would
Speaker 2: be on set with us, we would be with them
Speaker 2: for a billion hours.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for the duration of the shooting of that episode,
Speaker 1: which was what like eight days, ten.
Speaker 2: Days, eight or nine days sometimes ten when shit was long.
Speaker 2: And then Ramla was with us all seven years, so
Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah, she feels totally like one of us.
Speaker 1: Yes, But also if someone has an issue with a
Speaker 1: line or does it want to say something or change something,
Speaker 1: that writer has to think on the fly there and
Speaker 1: be like, okay, well what about this, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? And they have to think of something. Aren't
Speaker 1: like they're and not having that time to sort of
Speaker 1: prepare and think about what the line is gonna be.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into this episode. There are so many
Speaker 2: things I love about this, but we need to really
Speaker 2: talk about this whole date situation. Where do you want
Speaker 2: to start.
Speaker 1: We could do the open that opening scene with with a.
Speaker 2: College calls the whole meeting and says that you have
Speaker 2: a David Rosen problem, and like these are just the
Speaker 2: group of goonies, like this whole season two of this
Speaker 2: fucking round table of the Loves, because they're all goons,
Speaker 2: Like they're all just like Hollis, Verna, Cyrus and Olivia.
Speaker 2: They're just sitting around a fucking table and literally playing
Speaker 2: America like a puppet.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I remember watching these scenes and feeling like
Speaker 1: such a voyeur, right because you couldn't believe what was
Speaker 1: being said, Like these were all the leads of the
Speaker 1: show admitting that they were in on a I mean
Speaker 1: a crime. Would you call it a crime? I mean
Speaker 1: they stole the election treason treason, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean the crime of the highest degree, taking away
Speaker 2: every single person's fucking vote and say of who's the
Speaker 2: leader of the free world? Yeah, no, bueno, not.
Speaker 1: Golly, and you could get away with you know, with
Speaker 1: Mellie and Cyrus and Hollis Doyle of course. But when
Speaker 1: Olivia walks in that room, it's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: she's part of it too.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's part of it too. And she says that
Speaker 2: she will fix the David Rosen problem, yes, which equals
Speaker 2: into that they call David in and they're like, Okay,
Speaker 2: we're going to give you your job back. You can
Speaker 2: stop being a worthless bum. And the only way you're
Speaker 2: gonna have your job back is if you drop this hole.
Speaker 2: All your Shenanigans looking into Quinn Perkins.
Speaker 1: Just stop, That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then I wrote Susie asking out Huck, she's the cutest,
Speaker 2: writes her.
Speaker 1: Number on his head. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And this is where we like Susie poorfar if
Speaker 2: there was ever an actress that just nails a fucking roll, yes,
Speaker 2: and just the two of you together being so awkward
Speaker 2: and comfortable and cute.
Speaker 1: And I noticed watching the episode she has this cadence
Speaker 1: yes to her speaking, which I love so much, and
Speaker 1: I think it also it sort of speaks to her
Speaker 1: theater background, because yes, she like creates a character. Man,
Speaker 1: she's so fucking good and oh my.
Speaker 2: God, and then we get rest In go to rest In,
Speaker 2: which is the storyline of this episode. And I really
Speaker 2: do want to have Tom on this podcast. He's a
Speaker 2: dear friend, and I think his work on this show
Speaker 2: is so stellar because he's so horrible.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he's so good, and he's you tell
Speaker 1: us about he's part of your theater company.
Speaker 2: I am a right, Yeah, he's part of I am
Speaker 2: a theater company and I and he's a dear, dear
Speaker 2: friend and he's We've put him in a ton of
Speaker 2: IAmA plays because he's a fucking genius and he can
Speaker 2: play piano and he can play guitar, and he's an
Speaker 2: amazing actor and he's an artist and he's a great
Speaker 2: dad and he's just like such an actor. You know,
Speaker 2: he's done it his whole life and it's what he does.
Speaker 2: Oh Like cut to fun fact of this episode speaking
Speaker 2: of that he's been doing this forever, is that he
Speaker 2: and Brenda Strong, who plays Governor Restin's wife in this
Speaker 2: they starred in ever Wood together, which yes, because Tom
Speaker 2: and Mandy's like big role I feel like was he
Speaker 2: was the dad on Everwood with Sarah Drew which I
Speaker 2: never watched, has either huge following, and he lived in
Speaker 2: Utah for like six years shooting that show. But Tom
Speaker 2: is so great and the main storyline to just like
Speaker 2: remind y'all what happened in this episode is his wife.
Speaker 2: This fucking contractor's on top of his wife. She calls rape,
Speaker 2: He's got a gun, he shoots him dead, and we
Speaker 2: come to learn in so many twists and turns that
Speaker 2: she was not being raped.
Speaker 1: She's been having motherfucker's.
Speaker 2: Hair and follicles and pubes are all over the house.
Speaker 1: Right. I think the hard thing for that character must
Speaker 1: have been the fact that she was fucking this dude
Speaker 1: with a really good head of hair. Because I love Tom,
Speaker 1: but he you know, his hair is a little bit receiding.
Speaker 1: He's still a very good looking man, but he don't.
Speaker 2: Very good looking, very tall, very triangular.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, but she's fucking around behind his back
Speaker 1: with this dude that has long, like luxurious hair. That
Speaker 1: would have pissed me off more than anything anyway.
Speaker 2: Yes, And that hair is found all over the house
Speaker 2: when we're working the case. When we're working work in
Speaker 2: that case, they find hair in the bed, hair in
Speaker 2: the drain, hair in the shower because they were stripping
Speaker 2: all over the house.
Speaker 1: It was always a long hair, though I wish one
Speaker 1: of them would have been a short and curly like that.
Speaker 1: She would have found a little pube somewhere and be.
Speaker 2: Like why did they not go there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, Fitz could eat out Olivia on TV. But
Speaker 1: showing a pubic hair is too much not allowed.
Speaker 2: Standards and practices is the thing that everything has to
Speaker 2: get by on a network show, and so it's basically
Speaker 2: like the people that come in and watch something and
Speaker 2: they're like, Nope, that can't be on national broadcast. It's
Speaker 2: not allowed. So maybe a pube is no, not allowed
Speaker 2: too much? I mean in our case, when you do
Speaker 2: a sex scene, the minute there's a thrust, it's like
Speaker 2: cut not allowed, no thrusting, no simulation of sex. No no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Really Katie, Oh, I didn't realize that, but yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, although.
Speaker 2: I feel like there was a scene in Scandal, where
Speaker 2: have we seen it already where like Tony takes off
Speaker 2: his shirt, does somebody thrust and kind of thrust a
Speaker 2: little bit? Like Olivia is laying on the bed and
Speaker 2: her knees.
Speaker 1: Are up oh yeah, did he do a little thrust?
Speaker 2: And he kinda maybe when we get there. I don't
Speaker 2: think we've seen that episode yet, but I can't wait,
Speaker 2: and everyone else should get excited as well.
Speaker 1: We'll look out for that thrust. We'll be right back, guys.
Speaker 2: Okay, then oh, then we realize rest in ten tell
Speaker 2: me tell me.
Speaker 1: Sorry to interrupt you, but I was just gonna say
Speaker 1: real quick, Tom amends am I saying his name right, Amendys.
Speaker 2: I say, Amandy's, Amandy's But they don't know.
Speaker 1: For those people who are a fan of the movie
Speaker 1: Broke Down Palace with Clare Danes and Kate Beckinsale, which
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite fucking movies. Tom A Mendyes
Speaker 1: plays Kate Beckinsale's dad, what oh yeah, oh, and he
Speaker 1: has all these powerful scenes in that movie. But if
Speaker 1: you guys haven't seen Broke Down Palace, you have to
Speaker 1: see it, especially because tom A Mendy's is in it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: What a gift you just gave me. That's what I'm
Speaker 2: doing tonight.
Speaker 1: You're wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, we got Cyrus is shocked that James is back
Speaker 2: working as a journalist, and Rosen tells Abby that they
Speaker 2: offered him his job back and that he's not taking it,
Speaker 2: and Abby's like, that's so dumb. We're looking for the rapist.
Speaker 2: Olivia comes in and says, you're having an affair. She
Speaker 2: cried rape and it's bullshit.
Speaker 1: Yo. What tell me that scene where Olivia walks in
Speaker 1: and she's like this is bullshit? And then Joan Reston
Speaker 1: is just like crying and you know, breaking down. I
Speaker 1: was like, girl, listen, not for nothing, but where was
Speaker 1: the tearstick at because those were the driest. That was
Speaker 1: the driest crying I'd ever seen. But then I thought, listen,
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't her, Maybe this was all planned. Is
Speaker 1: she a brilliant actress? Because she's really you know, she's
Speaker 1: putting on a show where she feels terrible about it,
Speaker 1: but she also wanted to be fucking around with this guy.
Speaker 1: So maybe she didn't have tears. Maybe the character didn't
Speaker 1: have tears to get Oh you know, so I thought,
Speaker 1: brilliant actress? Or does she need a tearstick? Real bad?
Speaker 2: Was it an actress choice? Or you just dried up
Speaker 2: and intimidated to ask for the stick?
Speaker 1: Oh? Girl, you need that tiar stick?
Speaker 2: You know what makes me feel better about the tearstick
Speaker 2: because I'm not gonna lie now that it's out in
Speaker 2: public and everyone knows that I'm a hack of an
Speaker 2: actor and I use the mental.
Speaker 1: Hear shit, shut up, we all use that show.
Speaker 2: It was just listening to a podcast that Alison Janny
Speaker 2: was a guest, and Alison fucking Janny, who's won every
Speaker 2: acting award there is to win for comedy and dramas,
Speaker 2: also calls for a tearstick.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: Nope, So let me just be the one to tell
Speaker 2: you that I am as talented, if not more.
Speaker 1: Than Alice Right, than Alison Janney. We put ourselves in
Speaker 1: the same league as Alison Janney, y'all.
Speaker 2: She is a fucking genius.
Speaker 1: But Brenda Strong, Brenda Strong is a is a wonderful actress.
Speaker 1: She you know, I love my horror movies. She was
Speaker 1: in a movie called Red Dragon. She plays a dinner
Speaker 1: guest where Anthony Hopkins character the cannibal, the hannibal lecter
Speaker 1: y has a dinner party but it's all body parts
Speaker 1: and nobody knows what the food is. But anyway, Brenda
Speaker 1: Strong is in that scene and she's wonderful.
Speaker 2: Lin is Red Dragon a movie connected to Hannibal Lecter.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's the prequel to Silence of the Lambs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: uh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh good lord? How do you keep this shit all straight?
Speaker 2: Horror films have so many Jason thirty seven hundred point five.
Speaker 2: Why are we doing this still? Because they make money?
Speaker 1: That? Yes? Yes? And she was also Katie. She was
Speaker 1: in the Craft. Have you ever seen the Craft?
Speaker 2: I have and I loved it. Who did she play?
Speaker 1: She plays the doctor that's taking off all the dead
Speaker 1: skin from Nev Campbell's back after the girls do that
Speaker 1: spell on themselves so they can have like nice booties
Speaker 1: and like be all cool and shit. And Nev Campbell's
Speaker 1: like it couldn't work, you know, she's had these burns
Speaker 1: on her back or whatever. And Brenda Strung plays the
Speaker 1: doctor who's peeling off all the dead skin, revealing this beautiful,
Speaker 1: like luxurious like skin back that Nev Campbell has. Now, anyway,
Speaker 1: she was now amazing.
Speaker 2: Where is Nev Campbell?
Speaker 1: Nowhere? Nep Campbell. She's doing Scream forty two, That's what
Speaker 1: she's doing. She's doing another damn scream movie. O.
Speaker 2: See, there we have it again, folks.
Speaker 1: And Katie, one more thing real quick. She was the
Speaker 1: voice of Mary Alice Young in Desperate Housewives. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: she was the iconic voice that is the catalyst to
Speaker 1: the Yes.
Speaker 2: She was the voice of the entire thing. Wait, speaking
Speaker 2: of another fun fact, jumping ahead, but whatever, Anna Mantika
Speaker 2: Farmer at Amantika November nine, twenty twelve, tweeted, was that
Speaker 2: Shonda rhyme saying previously on Scandal?
Speaker 1: Oh shit?
Speaker 2: Yes it is now in season two? Yeah, changes and
Speaker 2: it says previously on Scandal and now I think and
Speaker 2: believe until the end of time, every single episode, whenever
Speaker 2: they're doing a recap of the previous episode, it's always
Speaker 2: Shonda's voice.
Speaker 1: Yes, right, Yes, that's funny that that gladiator caught that
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Woh the craziest part about this episode that kills me.
Speaker 2: This is the cutest where to take a woman on
Speaker 2: a date? Huck is like, how do I make a rezie?
Speaker 2: Harrison is like, you're the greatest hacker in the world,
Speaker 2: how do you make a fucking reservation? Cute?
Speaker 1: You know what was the cutest, Katie? When you wet
Speaker 1: your fingers and pat down Huck's hair? Do you remember
Speaker 1: that that was the cutest?
Speaker 2: Was that scripted? No?
Speaker 1: It wasn't, but you were so brilliant. It was such
Speaker 1: a great, great moment you like totally spit you like
Speaker 1: lick your fingers and pat down my hair and makes
Speaker 1: a face like what the fuck? But it was the cutest.
Speaker 2: So so it's my favorite parts of Scandal. I mean, look,
Speaker 2: the show was obviously a drama, you know, there were
Speaker 2: so many twists and turns and OMG moments and things.
Speaker 2: But yeah, my favorite parts of the show were the
Speaker 2: gladiators doing familial comedy, lighthearted things like that. Like I
Speaker 2: loved shooting that scene where you were in like an
Speaker 2: outfit and Abby's coming with the ties, huh, and we're
Speaker 2: just all as a group, like helping you get ready
Speaker 2: for your date. It's so stinking adorable. Yeah, but I
Speaker 2: love this episode the most for the specificity of four thousand,
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty nine votes. Yeah, it just becomes
Speaker 2: like so real in that the race was so close.
Speaker 2: It gives me such PTSD to like Bush Gore Florida
Speaker 2: recount after recount and like, what the fuck happened?
Speaker 1: And I don't even remember that shit, Katie, was that
Speaker 1: a big recount? Shit? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well yeah, oh my god, you can watch the movie recount,
Speaker 2: which is on HBO. This like resting thing just reminds
Speaker 2: me so much of like the Bush Gore.
Speaker 1: Also, those numbers are so specific. It reminded me a
Speaker 1: lot of five hundred twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes,
Speaker 1: five hundred twenty five thousand, moment five men. We did
Speaker 1: this a million times on the set of Scandal.
Speaker 2: But normally it would be like, I let I want
Speaker 2: to go tonight tonight. Bush won by two hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy one electoral votes and Gore had two seventy.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, so.
Speaker 2: It was a one point difference in the election. Oh,
Speaker 2: which was why it was such a shit show.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Katie, I didn't even remember that.
Speaker 2: But so whenever I watched this episode, I'm like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, I think of that, and then I think
Speaker 2: about the goon table, the fucking goons who are playing
Speaker 2: fits like a puppet. Yeah, and it was such a
Speaker 2: close close call. But Restin, what we see in this
Speaker 2: episode is how it personally destroyed the man. Yes, because
Speaker 2: Joan Reston's whole monologue that she has is like her
Speaker 2: whole life changed from the minute he lost by four
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty nine votes every single day of
Speaker 2: her life since that election, and since that loss, she
Speaker 2: hasn't been married to the same man and that's why
Speaker 2: she's fucking the contractor.
Speaker 1: Exactly, which, if you ask me, is a valid excuse.
Speaker 1: And he's fat hair, he's got long hair. Awful, awful,
Speaker 1: We're awful people.
Speaker 2: What else do you remember? Whatever? What else are the
Speaker 2: top scenes memories of this episode?
Speaker 1: One of my top scenes is that scene with Melly
Speaker 1: and Cyrus after Melly has a conversation with James, and
Speaker 1: Cyrus is like, Melly, can I talk to you for
Speaker 1: a second, And then he goes on and he has
Speaker 1: this amazing, another beautiful monologue by Jeff Perry and it
Speaker 1: was just so freaking good and dark and memorable. And
Speaker 1: what does he say.
Speaker 2: Mellie says, I'm a political animal, but Cyrus says, I
Speaker 2: am a monster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, j And then he kind of walks away and
Speaker 1: comes back and he's like, hey, but let's do that
Speaker 1: dinner we talked about.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, double date, double date in the fucking residences like
Speaker 2: duhlte yes. Edison comes in. He says, I'm going to
Speaker 2: keep trying and trying, but Live is like, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna say yes yet because I'm not ready.
Speaker 1: Can we just say real quick? Edison needs to fucking
Speaker 1: kick Rocks man, like, get to step. And I'm so
Speaker 1: over Edison. And it wasn't anything against Like the character
Speaker 1: is a good guy, he's fucking hot as fuck, yes,
Speaker 1: but he just there's no nuance there, there's no drama
Speaker 1: like there is with Fits, right, so I think everybody's
Speaker 1: just like, eh, just get the fuck out of the way, man, like,
Speaker 1: keep it moving.
Speaker 2: We don't want her to be with anyone else other
Speaker 2: than Fits, So like, what are we doing?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, yes, And I think and Olivia feels that
Speaker 1: way too. You feel that Olivia feels that way as well.
Speaker 2: He had such a bad Twitter. What did they call him?
Speaker 2: Oh yes, Senator pudding Pop.
Speaker 1: You know why, Katie, You know why they call him that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because of because he resembles Bill Cosby.
Speaker 2: That's why. Yes, that was why. And I can't even
Speaker 2: believe I'm bringing up on this podcast. But hey, guys,
Speaker 2: you're welcome. We talk about all the shit here. Oh see,
Speaker 2: look they even put I'm showing you my photos. There's
Speaker 2: all these side by side photos on Twitter of Noel
Speaker 2: Lewis next to Bill Cosby.
Speaker 1: My god, he looks a lot like him.
Speaker 2: We love him and he's the most talented dude ever.
Speaker 2: But for whatever reason, it's not him. It's the way
Speaker 2: they wrote the character. And also, we are living in
Speaker 2: a world where if you go against Olivia Pope, or
Speaker 2: you go against Olivia and fits Olitz, you are hated.
Speaker 2: You are hated with a capital age. I like that
Speaker 2: You're watching the episodes and you're like, get him the
Speaker 2: fuck d get him.
Speaker 1: I was like, girl, what the fuck are you doing? Man,
Speaker 1: get the fuck kick air acts, Senator Pudding Pop, I.
Speaker 2: Cannot put in pop?
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: And then Huckin' Suy Poor are on their way to
Speaker 2: a fancy date.
Speaker 1: Yes, they go to that restaurant. Which part of me
Speaker 1: watching this shit, I was like, y'all, are they really
Speaker 1: that dumb? Are hucking Becky that motherfucking dumb? She's like,
Speaker 1: what is this? Bill and Bunkers and huck is like,
Speaker 1: I like a ginger ale and also a ginger ale
Speaker 1: for her. I was like, oh Jesus.
Speaker 2: Christ, Forrest Gump.
Speaker 1: I was like, what is happening?
Speaker 2: No, but you have to play into the comedy.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, But Katie. Then there's that other
Speaker 1: episode where Huck I don't remember which one it was,
Speaker 1: where he walks up to you and you're at a
Speaker 1: bar waiting to meet with someone with Katy and Wallace,
Speaker 1: and Huck is like, she'll take a half finger pore
Speaker 1: of the drink and no alcohol in it and put
Speaker 1: your hair back and put He's like super savvy, and
Speaker 1: in this scene he's like, I like, Jing Dorel.
Speaker 2: You knew what to do at a restaurant. I don't
Speaker 2: know how to read a maize.
Speaker 1: Anyway, It's still so cute.
Speaker 2: But you know, sometimes in television and for the sake
Speaker 2: of the scene and the sake of a joke, don't
Speaker 2: look too close.
Speaker 1: Don't look too closely.
Speaker 2: Yet it's not like we're Alison Janny like whatever, we're
Speaker 2: not real actors. No, you are the realist factor. So
Speaker 2: then we figure out after Lvia Pope has done everything
Speaker 2: she can to help rest in which I feel like
Speaker 2: she's helping him and going above and beyond because she
Speaker 2: fucking rided the election and she feels really fucking bad
Speaker 2: about it that she's ruined this entire I mean, not
Speaker 2: only has she ruined the country, but in this episode again,
Speaker 2: you get the idea that she's personally ruined somebody's life
Speaker 2: and their marriage.
Speaker 1: Well and also responsible for someone's death dying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh my god, I forgot that
Speaker 2: that contractor was like a person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all that beautiful hair gone, gone forever.
Speaker 2: And possibly pubes.
Speaker 1: But will can you say pubes on the podcast?
Speaker 2: I think so love a pube. If my gray hair
Speaker 2: right now is like pubes on my head, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: that's the texture of it. You're welcome, everybody. So then
Speaker 2: she realizes that Restin did know. On his desk, she
Speaker 2: sees all these surveillance photos of his wife having sex
Speaker 2: with the contractor, and we realize that he has sort
Speaker 2: of played her and played this whole situation. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: and I wrote Olivia got played. And she does the
Speaker 2: next twitch thing, the like little twitch thing she does
Speaker 2: where she oh god, it's so good, oh so good,
Speaker 2: And she got played, and like rest In is gonna
Speaker 2: get out fine, and Joan is going to take the fall.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, she kind of should, but she
Speaker 2: was like, let me do this for you, let me
Speaker 2: go to jail, and she does. And then we go
Speaker 2: to Huck and Becky on the date in car, watching
Speaker 2: people and spying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Huck realizes that he you know, the restaurant, taking
Speaker 1: Becky to a fancy restaurant that's not him, so we
Speaker 1: see him now. He takes her to where he goes
Speaker 1: to watch a family. Creepy as fuck, but that's what
Speaker 1: he likes to.
Speaker 2: Do, stalking and you should be arrested and have restraining orders.
Speaker 1: Yes, and there's kids in that house, God damn it,
Speaker 1: children anyway, but he's doing it lovingly of course, because
Speaker 1: he doesn't have his family. So he goes and finds
Speaker 1: family and watches them and knows their whole backstory. And
Speaker 1: then Becky is just like, oh, she's submitting.
Speaker 2: Waitit, no, wait, does I can't remember this? Does Huck know, like,
Speaker 2: did research on these families and he knows what they
Speaker 2: really are into? Or is this like Huck builds a
Speaker 2: whole fake imagination of what they are and what they do.
Speaker 1: That's such such a good question, Katie, because I was
Speaker 1: thinking about that too, and I was going back and forth,
Speaker 1: but I sort of ended with I think I feel
Speaker 1: like it's Huck, Like he's such a good detective and hacker,
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean, everything he does that
Speaker 1: he's found out all these true backstories of and and
Speaker 1: sort of the schedules of the kids and which friends
Speaker 1: come over for play dates and when they come over
Speaker 1: and what they like to eat. I feel like he's
Speaker 1: discovered all of it and figured it all out and
Speaker 1: it's all real. That's sort of the way I looked
Speaker 1: at it. But I hear what you're saying too. It
Speaker 1: could be that he's just making it all up.
Speaker 2: No, you're right. It's the better acting choice because what's
Speaker 2: coming down the pike is really bad, and it's better
Speaker 2: if you know them as real people.
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, and what you made up.
Speaker 2: In your head, I think, mm hmm. Okay, So you're
Speaker 2: watching these people and then you kiss without tongue.
Speaker 1: And also yo without time but real quick in that scene,
Speaker 1: there's like sandwiches on the dashboard? Is it bad that
Speaker 1: watching this? I was like, ooh, what type of sandwich
Speaker 1: was it? How did they leave that much sandwich without
Speaker 1: eating it?
Speaker 2: Come on, Well, they knew they were going to make out.
Speaker 1: I knew they were going to make out.
Speaker 2: Only time I don't eat that much is if I
Speaker 2: know you're going to get like if I'm making out,
Speaker 2: like for the first time. That's why the grilled cheese
Speaker 2: scene in season one always bothered me because if someone
Speaker 2: I was just fucking for the first time, I would
Speaker 2: not be eating grilled cheese simultaneously.
Speaker 1: It ate no dairy anywhere in the picture. You're with
Speaker 1: some of the first time same.
Speaker 3: Same I mean down the road, yes, yeah, someone I've
Speaker 3: been with who cares, oh yeah, but someone you're having
Speaker 3: sex with for the first time, I am not eating
Speaker 3: simultaneously and definitely not a dairy.
Speaker 1: Product Jesus, because that's just like, oh my god. I remember, Katie.
Speaker 1: We were all in New York and I was talking
Speaker 1: with Adam and he said his first date with you,
Speaker 1: that you guys spent like a whole weekend together or
Speaker 1: something like a bunch of days together.
Speaker 2: And he slept and he finally farted when.
Speaker 1: He said when he went out, when he finally left
Speaker 1: your place and was like on the corner hailing a cab,
Speaker 1: that it was non stop farting.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He told me the story after we had like our
Speaker 2: first weekend together, and he said, no, literally, I would
Speaker 2: leave your apartment and it would just be.
Speaker 1: Like, oh like that, Oh my.
Speaker 4: God, because I had a studio, so It's not like
Speaker 4: you could go just farted up in the bathroom because
Speaker 4: you could hear it so like it was down a
Speaker 4: hallway or like at a different part of the house
Speaker 4: or a different floor.
Speaker 2: Like my bed was a food in one room, and
Speaker 2: my shower was growing mushrooms.
Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding and not fun ones growing disgusting fungus
Speaker 2: mushrooms out of the tiles around the shower, and we
Speaker 2: didn't care. We still hooked up in there. It was disgusting.
Speaker 2: I was disgusting. I was so broke, but we all.
Speaker 1: Did that shit right, Like, you're not thinking about that stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I still drive by it. It hasn't
Speaker 2: been demolished. It's still there. It was eight hundred dollars
Speaker 2: a month, which I could afford.
Speaker 1: How much do you think that apartment is right now?
Speaker 1: Like probably like.
Speaker 2: Two thousand, Yeah, which is ridiculous. It's one room. It's disgusting.
Speaker 1: The water God was where in the city.
Speaker 2: Was it in Hollywood? It was right by that seven
Speaker 2: eleven on Melrose and Fuller.
Speaker 1: Oh, this was in La This is anything. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Kam and.
Speaker 2: I met in La on Melrose and Puller. No, my
Speaker 2: apartment in New York City was also disgusting, but it
Speaker 2: was and it was a six floor walk up, but
Speaker 2: it was really cool. It was like a pre war building,
Speaker 2: brick walls, like, it was like a rent set. We
Speaker 2: will be back with more after the break. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: The end of this episode is such fire. It's one
Speaker 2: of those classic wrap up, you know, the last three
Speaker 2: minutes of Scandal where everything just gets like spun on
Speaker 2: its head and all this kind of shit. And Abby
Speaker 2: goes to see Dave and she knows that it's about
Speaker 2: voting machines, and we see the end. We see that
Speaker 2: Olivia is spying and listening to them, and Olivia says,
Speaker 2: this one I handle alone. And she's listening on that bobblehead.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is where Bobblehead lives. Remember that hashtag bobblehead lives.
Speaker 2: This is where Bobblehead lives was a hashtag on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Did it started this episode? I think so, or maybe
Speaker 2: when it came back around.
Speaker 1: Maybe when it came back around, I don't remember, but
Speaker 1: it certainly lived for me in this episode. It's so
Speaker 1: fucking good. It's so shocking. And that Colin Douglas, the
Speaker 1: guy that plays Steve Daugherty, Yes, that he's like dish
Speaker 1: and all that dirt, and Livia is like, I got this,
Speaker 1: I'll take care of these motherfuckers.
Speaker 2: And now we see that Olivia knows that Abby's kind
Speaker 2: of backs and playing both teams, and we know that
Speaker 2: Abby and David aren't giving up, even though David's not
Speaker 2: supposed to be working the Quinn case. And there's like
Speaker 2: that little post it and we see that David was
Speaker 2: supposed to have a meeting.
Speaker 1: Yes, and Abby realizes that Huck and Olivia set up
Speaker 1: that fake meeting.
Speaker 2: With someone to tell him about it, to get him
Speaker 2: off the trail, to get him off the set. Yes,
Speaker 2: And then with David and Abby don't know is the
Speaker 2: one further step that now Olivia is has them on
Speaker 2: surveillance and is listening to every that is so fucked up.
Speaker 2: It's so shady, Like how are these two women friends?
Speaker 2: Like are you joking? How do you ever come back
Speaker 2: from that? I know, like if a friend of mine
Speaker 2: ever spied on me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be like it's over, It's over, and.
Speaker 2: I'm calling the fucking police, like yeah, get out of here, Yeah,
Speaker 2: what are you kidding?
Speaker 1: But also let me look at the footage and if
Speaker 1: I look cute, then I won't be that.
Speaker 2: And also what do I sound like what I'm having?
Speaker 1: Do I sound like?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was I hot?
Speaker 2: Did you Yes? All of those things? Okay. Fun facts
Speaker 2: about the episode. Despite being named in the title All
Speaker 2: Roads Lead to Fits, Fits isn't even in this fucking episode.
Speaker 1: Right, He's not in it at all.
Speaker 2: He's not in it.
Speaker 1: Was there any episodes that you weren't in that Quinn
Speaker 1: is not in?
Speaker 2: I think there's three? Oh really three yes, because when
Speaker 2: you go back to the trail, Oh wait, no, I
Speaker 2: was in the trail. But any episodes that were major
Speaker 2: flashbacks right before Quinn was around, there are some episodes
Speaker 2: that I am not in.
Speaker 1: Wow, wasn't that always trippy when we weren't in an episode?
Speaker 1: Because there was like one or two that that Huck
Speaker 1: was not in. But I was always like, I'm not
Speaker 1: in this episode. I was always so offended at first.
Speaker 2: I'd always be like boom, and then I would be like,
Speaker 2: holy shit, I still get paid.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, and I got the week off.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. Like I just was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: Like this is the greatest gig that's ever happened. In
Speaker 2: the history of the world. Let's quickly look at some
Speaker 2: scandal tweets at the time, and then we got to
Speaker 2: look at this actual real life scandal of the time.
Speaker 2: You guys, know, what the fuck was going on at
Speaker 2: the time that this episode aired. Tweetwetweet twe tweeted at
Speaker 2: the time, tweets the.
Speaker 1: Time, tweeted the time, y'all ready to listen?
Speaker 2: Tweet tweet tweeters the tax.
Speaker 1: Tweets at the time, y'all tweets of the time, This
Speaker 1: lovely person Shanes at Lucky Shane's tweeted, is it just me?
Speaker 1: Or has scandals screwed with my head? But I really
Speaker 1: don't care if a government official is screwing around as
Speaker 1: long as the job gets done. Amen. Remember the whole
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton scandal all that bullshit, and a lot of
Speaker 1: people were like, who cares, Like at least he's getting
Speaker 1: some as as long as he's doing a good job.
Speaker 2: Well, it's been going on since the beginning of time,
Speaker 2: and most places are like famous for it. Like I
Speaker 2: feel like people specifically stay at Sandy Sidrow Ranch because
Speaker 2: it's where JMKA was sleeping with fucking Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 1: Here, I didn't know that, Katie, really, yes, I want
Speaker 1: to go stay there.
Speaker 2: There's like tons of places like that that are like
Speaker 2: this is where the president and their mistress like, oh show,
Speaker 2: it's just like Bill Clinton's happened to come about in
Speaker 2: a time where like the press found out and the
Speaker 2: press is different than it was in the.
Speaker 1: Fiftieth Yes, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Lance Conley at d Q noop not to make light
Speaker 2: of the situation, but how can the CIA director not
Speaker 2: keep a secret? Sounds like he needs Olivia Pope to
Speaker 2: step in. Wait, what's that about.
Speaker 1: That's because there was a scandal happening simultaneously while scandal
Speaker 1: was airing, during this episode, during this time where Petraeus
Speaker 1: had chosen.
Speaker 2: Who this leads us today?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2: God, this is right because Okay, now we're seeing these tweets.
Speaker 2: Crystal Irbie Crystal loves Words tweeted, I know that Shonda
Speaker 2: Rhimes is watching this Petreus story thinking, yes, what would
Speaker 2: Olivia Pope do?
Speaker 1: Yes, That's why I love.
Speaker 2: When we talk about scandals that were actually real life
Speaker 2: scandals happening at the time, because we always just used
Speaker 2: to freak out that the show we were shooting sometimes
Speaker 2: like the next week we would see such similar storylines
Speaker 2: happening in the news.
Speaker 1: That shit would be happening in real life. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So the scandal of the time is an extra marital
Speaker 2: affair between retired four star general and then director of
Speaker 2: the Central Intelligence Agency aka the CIA, David am I
Speaker 2: saying his last name.
Speaker 1: Right, betray us, I think.
Speaker 2: And PAULA. Broadwell became public information. The CIA director had
Speaker 2: chosen Broadwell to be his official biographer, and FBI investigation
Speaker 2: proved that they were involved in an extra marital affair,
Speaker 2: after which he resigned as director of the CIA at
Speaker 2: November ninth, twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: But also like who cares? Like why? Like what was
Speaker 1: the big deal? Right?
Speaker 2: I feel like it makes things so much worse for
Speaker 2: the family. I don't know, ah, I think it's because
Speaker 2: we don't have Maybe this is like too deep, but
Speaker 2: I feel like because our fucking country is wrapped up
Speaker 2: in so much religion.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh absolutely, you know a.
Speaker 2: Fair are like such a sinful fucking thing and not
Speaker 2: like they're not horrible and bad and they are. But
Speaker 2: I think if we aren't honest with ourselves. I remember
Speaker 2: when I was waitressing at this restaurant, in New York City.
Speaker 2: I was twenty one. It was like my first like
Speaker 2: big regular waitressing job. I was there for like three years,
Speaker 2: and there were so many finance dudes who came with their.
Speaker 1: Women mistresses, I bet right, and then they.
Speaker 2: Would take their car services home to Darien or west
Speaker 2: you know, Connecticut or Westchester or whatever. But it was
Speaker 2: my first time ever being like, oh my god, like
Speaker 2: did my dad cheat? Like this is like such a
Speaker 2: normal thing.
Speaker 1: Like I didn't realize.
Speaker 2: That all of these maybe happily married men either have
Speaker 2: understandings with their wives or they just don't talk, don't tell,
Speaker 2: or is.
Speaker 1: It on the down low. Yeah, if you're a.
Speaker 2: Public figure and you're a president or a CIA charactor
Speaker 2: or something, you are not allowed or I guess you're allowed.
Speaker 2: You just better not have anyone fucking find out.
Speaker 1: I don't know, right right right, But I'm like, he's
Speaker 1: getting the job done. That woman was retired, Like who can.
Speaker 1: But I get why the optics of it are, you know,
Speaker 1: not pleasant?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like that's what I mean. I guess, like
Speaker 2: who cares.
Speaker 1: I wonder if in Europe they're like, go ahead and
Speaker 1: fuck whoever you want to fuck. We don't care.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I bet they do.
Speaker 1: Like in the political world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like they're commercials. I remember commercials and shows in
Speaker 2: London have like way more sex and tits and like whatever,
Speaker 2: or in Spain or like it just doesn't their standards
Speaker 2: and practices and rules against that stuff are far more
Speaker 2: lenient than ours are because we're like a puritan country
Speaker 2: or whatever.
Speaker 1: Totally, yeah, but I.
Speaker 2: Think that goes the same as like no one in
Speaker 2: our public, no one public facing in politics, is allowed
Speaker 2: to do things like that. Although yeah, ween are just
Speaker 2: sending fucking I've.
Speaker 1: Been craving hot dogs lately. Katie's so bad, Like do
Speaker 1: you like?
Speaker 2: It's on to wrap it up? And I need to
