26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: You know Jamie and Mara the casting people. Of course, um,

27
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: I actually knew them both. I was friends with them,

28
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: and they were like, b K. Everyone called me b K.

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: You know there's this new show. Um I think I

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: looked in the first time I did, it was like

31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. When was the first episode? Let

32
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: me see it was a season two episode five? Nick

33
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: and Norris did Nancy, So yeah, that was so. I

34
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: was in season two. Season two is two thousand and one.

35
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Last appearance season seven, so that's two thousand six. Yeah. Yeah,

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: so I basically played every teacher at children. It was yeah.

37
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: I played like the debate person, you know, the debate

38
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: coach and the yearbook later. So it was it was

39
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: so much fun. Did you guys know you had to

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: talk really fast, So Jamie and Morris had just talk

41
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: really fast, Buka talk really fast, no problem, and then

42
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, working on it was. It was cool, just

43
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: trying to get all those It's like, I think it's

44
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: harder to be a co star than actually have like

45
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: a larger part on the show, as you know, because

46
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: you're just so used to it. You know, everybody you're

47
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: coming in as a co star and you're just like,

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, don't screw this up. Everybody's got this

49
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: so wired. Totally agree. So how did you get started?

50
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: How did you get started with your acting career. I

51
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: went to Loyola Marymount. I graduated in the eighties. I

52
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: was a business major. My now husband was my theater

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: school roommates girlfriend. So my roommate again was in the

54
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: theater school. She was dating my husband. I was about

55
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: to graduate from Loyola, and my husband back then wasn't

56
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: my husband, but he was in the theater school. He

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: wanted to direct non actors. He was like, I'm just

58
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: kind of sick of all the actors and all their

59
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: bags of tricks and this and that. I want to

60
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: work with somebody, you know. He had this vision of

61
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: like that they don't know anything, and I'm going to

62
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: teach them and try to keep them real and all

63
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I didn't know what I was

64
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: getting into, and I said, sure, yeah, this sounds fun.

65
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: So he cast me in a two person play with

66
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: another guy who was a stage hand at Loyal, who

67
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: also had never done any acting, and um, So it

68
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: then came to me graduating and all the business school,

69
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, all the companies come. You're supposed to go

70
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: and interview and get your business job, and I was

71
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: just thinking, I just can't do it. This is not me.

72
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: So I then went to cal Arts. Um, I got

73
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: my masters in theater there. It was so much fun,

74
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: and I think in graduated. You know, I've had a

75
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: great run. I've always had tons of other jobs. I

76
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: never put my eggs in one basket. It's kind of

77
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: how I was brought up. So I've had a great

78
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: one run with commercials, done a lot of TV stuff,

79
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: movies here and there. Gary Marshall put me in for

80
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: his movies. You know. Gilmore Girls was so great. You

81
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: know you did those checks even today, like a hundred

82
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: bucks Gilmore Girls and stuff like. Yeah. So, had you've

83
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: already been watching the show of before your first appearance

84
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: in season two? Did you? Were you aware of not

85
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: a huge TV watcher, and still to this day I'm

86
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: not a huge TV watcher, so I went back and

87
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: watched it last night, and so many people and obviously

88
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: how it's had a you know, uh, just a whole redo,

89
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: and now younger people have got onto the Gilmer Girls train.

90
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: So I'll just be at some of my you know,

91
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: one of my jobs is a tech job right now.

92
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: In these twenty some things. Oh my god, it's the

93
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: cutest thing. So I went I've watched them over the years,

94
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: of course, but I want I was like, I just

95
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: want to watch it last night, so thanks for having

96
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: it made me and watching and it was it's so good,

97
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, yeah, I get it. I see

98
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: why this is a cult classic. And I was just thinking,

99
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys learned your lines. I

100
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 1: have a question for you, but how did you guys

101
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: do it? Scott Um, I don't there are so many lines,

102
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: especially the mom and the daughter. Obviously, honestly, I just

103
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'd had a little uh training and a

104
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: little experience with Shakespeare so that there's nothing really is

105
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: daunting after that, you know, I mean, if you can

106
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: memorize like I memorize Hamlet in a couple of weeks,

107
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, but because it made sense

108
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: to me, it was and I was as intimidated as

109
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: anybody else, Don't get me wrong. I was like, good Lord,

110
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: how the hell am I ever going to do this? Um?

111
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: But once you start, it becomes easier because of the

112
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: emotional logic of the writing. If the writing is good,

113
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: it's it's not like your memorizing words. You're memorizing emotions.

114
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: You're memorizing scenarios, You're memorizing other people. So it's it

115
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: just got easier the more I did it. So you know,

116
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: this was not difficult. It really wasn't difficult. And I

117
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: don't think it was terribly difficult for Laura either, because

118
00:06:52,200 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: I think she has a photographic memory, must because like

119
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: she didn't miss it brings. Yeah, I mean the Shakespeare

120
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: right there. I have that training too, and I've done

121
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: tons of Shakespeare, and I love Shakespeare. And the only

122
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: way you can really learn Shakespeare, like you're saying, Scott,

123
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: is you you have to think about. You can't just

124
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: be like by rote memorizing lines in an order. The

125
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: iambic pentameter, though, completely help when you're memorizing con coo,

126
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: don't so that helps a lot, but you have to

127
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: think of it more like emotions and I'm really in

128
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: a dialogue and what do I want from this person

129
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and then it becomes like a story.

130
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's not just these random words that you're

131
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: shoving together in your right. It has nothing to do

132
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, it's it's really just being in the

133
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: scene and and expressing what you have to express. It's

134
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: it's there's there's no other choice but to say these things.

135
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: And that's easy to remember. I mean if you have

136
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: like an affinity for it and the story strikes you

137
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: on on a deep level, and and it always did.

138
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: I mean it was just like devastating for me to

139
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: read that play. Um So anyway, um so, what do

140
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: you remember of your time on Gilmore Girls? Give us

141
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: some of your your top what are your top three

142
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: memories of working on that show? Okay, the top three memories?

143
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: Um what did you remember? What did you did? You

144
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: feed you? I fed you well as a young actor,

145
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: but I was thirty eight when I did that. I

146
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: looked back and I literally thought I looked like I

147
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: was fourteen, But I was almost fourty years old when

148
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: I did that. And you know, you're a working actor

149
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: and you're just like they're feeding you. Someone's coming over

150
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: and asking you what you want for breck and that's

151
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: amazing and that that was a beautiful and I always, um,

152
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: I just I also thought that set, that crew everyone

153
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: was just cool. They were just good. You know, I've

154
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: been on when you're doing like guest stars and co stars,

155
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: you go on so many different sets and some of

156
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: them are like, yeah, you get like maybe a vibe.

157
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm very much like an Ari's oldest child of nine,

158
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: so I'm pretty much like no one's gonna talk to me.

159
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm just going straight up to people anyways. It's just

160
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: kind of how I'm built. But you didn't have to

161
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: do that on that set, so and which is why

162
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: to like coming back five times and people would all, hey,

163
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, Amy just so cool and everybody like it's

164
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: so great to have you back, and like is it

165
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: weird that I'm this teacher now They're like, note makes

166
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: total sense. So you know, even like trying to talk

167
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: myself out of a job, and um, but just good people,

168
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: good food. And I do remember. I think it just

169
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: helped me so much to uh, like what you were saying,

170
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: really think about what you're saying, even you just have

171
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: like a mouthful in that little scene where I'm telling people, Okay,

172
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: your last midterm and everyone's going to go to college,

173
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: don't worry, and someone I know has been accepted to Harvard, etcetera.

174
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: So just spitting out a whole bunch of lines when

175
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: everyone staring at you, there's the boom, there's a camera,

176
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: it's like, don't screw this up. Co starring, just like

177
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: shoot it and move. But I probably did stumble and

178
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: everybody was probably super cool about it. So I just

179
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: came out of there with like a great vibe about everybody.

180
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: Do you remember what subject you taught at Chilton? Did

181
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: they tell you? Do you know? Well? I know because

182
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: I was watching that one. Well. When I was the

183
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: yearbook coordinator or the debate coach, those were obvious what

184
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: I was doing. But for this I looked to my

185
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: husband and like, what was I teaching? So I would

186
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: think last night, I probably I am sure I did

187
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: all my homework and like came up with a full

188
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: backstory for myself, right, Scott, I was just like just line,

189
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: But don't I think I was probably some kind of

190
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: a literature teacher definitely, because we're talking. You know, that's

191
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: usually who you would work on, like with your college

192
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: essays and stuff like that. Yeah, and then I remember

193
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: another episode actually this is not this episode, but you

194
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: know Dacian Matthews, um and being a theater actor, right,

195
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: we know who Dagon Matthews is. Like even way before this,

196
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, because he was a principle,

197
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: I guess, And there was like some kind of a flashback,

198
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: but that's for another episode. I'll come back and I'll

199
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: dress like um, but I bet it was literature definitely

200
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: something English. So what was your experience like filming with

201
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: those children girls? And I think you know who I'm

202
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, I was super impressed, like she just

203
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: had to have She wasn't in that scene. She was

204
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: in another episode of probably Yearbook one where I actually

205
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: got to have a little gut down with her. Now, Paris,

206
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, slow down, watch what you're doing whatever, but

207
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: all those girls, um, Rory Alexis is her first thing, right,

208
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: But again I was just so how old were they? Probably?

209
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean at that time I had eighteen, right, I

210
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: think I think Alexis at that time. Season two was nineteen. Yeah,

211
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: they were also sweet. She was a sweetheart, every one

212
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: of them. Because you're right, there was a whole bunch

213
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: of girls sitting in that classroom and they were they

214
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: were just so on it, so on, it had all

215
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: of their lines memorized, such professionals. Again, just raising the

216
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: bar for me seeing like we're just going in, we're

217
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: shooting this, we're out, and they obviously were moving so fast.

218
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: And they let me hang around too, because I love

219
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: watching other people doing their stuff and even hanging around

220
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: when I'm done, and people were very cool about letting

221
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: me do that. But I was definitely like the professionalism

222
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: and just really authentic, genuine people. Nobody I felt like

223
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: I had a big head about this or that. You know,

224
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: we're not doing brain surgery here, just gonna trying to

225
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: people laugh on TV and also feel the fields and

226
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So now, so now that Netflix has

227
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: uh uh done their thing two thousand and sixteen, new

228
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: generation of fans have emerged. Obviously, do you get recognized

229
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: by any of them? Now? These this new wave of fans, Well,

230
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: it's so interesting because it work. I think someone told

231
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: someone and then they kind of piece it together. But

232
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: I'm not in costco getting recognized. For sure. If someone

233
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: walked up to me, you know, I'm just like, were

234
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: you the Literature Teacher season three? You know I would

235
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: actually give them a giant hug and be so how

236
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: perceptive they are once or maybe twice, you know, you,

237
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've got a lot of them where you'd

238
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: get the eight by ten envelopes and Manila's with the

239
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: pictures in there, and they want you to sign them

240
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: and send them back, and people will be like, I'm

241
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,119
Speaker 1: trying to get every head shot signed from this particular episode.

242
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: So I definitely got a lot of those. I was present.

243
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: You know, they found me, probably through my agent or whatever.

244
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: But like the people that I know where I work

245
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: that have recognized me, then they'll tell this other girl

246
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: they're on like twenties thirties fish and then there they

247
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: just completely recognized me and they put it together. But

248
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: not like, yeah, right off the street, I haven't had that,

249
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: But oftentimes though here it is you look familiar. I've

250
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: seen you in something. There has been that, But I've

251
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: also done many commercials and other things over the years.

252
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: So I was like, well, I have one of those faces,

253
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: but a lot of times they don't actually put it together. Hey,

254
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: this is Bobby Brown and I'm relaunching my podcast The

255
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: Important Things. What's important to me is everything from how

256
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: to live my life, how to run my business, what

257
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: to do if I feel and what to do if

258
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm overwhelmed. Certainly I will tackle a lot of the

259
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: issues about getting older. I will tackle with curiosity a

260
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: lot of the issues about what should we be eating,

261
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: because everyone tells us something different and I'm just curious

262
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: how other really busy, interesting women get things done. My

263
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: first episode is Giada de Laurentis, who is adorable and

264
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: gave such great information. Talked to Jenna Elfman, Gabby Reese.

265
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, the woman knows everything. Talk to

266
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: Jillian Michael's and that's going to be a great one.

267
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: I hope that you will come along for the ride

268
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: because it's been really fun to do this. So listen

269
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: to the Important Things with Bobby Brown wherever you listen

270
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: to podcasts. How long has it been since you watched

271
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: the series? Back before last night you hadn't, well, you

272
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: had not seen the show at all, and then last

273
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: night you watched because you're the episode because you were

274
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: coming I'm pretty sure because you know, I'm human. I

275
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: probably watched the episode that I was in, right, but

276
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: I and after watching it last night, uh, and my

277
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: husband liked it too, and he can be so picky.

278
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: We both are like, this is actually super good and smart,

279
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: like Edgar Allen Poe stuff. You know, it's it's not shallow,

280
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: it's there's heart to it and there's it's smart too.

281
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: So I actually I would probably go and watch it now,

282
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: but I know I have not watched all of the

283
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls. Well let me ask you this, have you Scott?

284
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: Or is that part of this podcast? I never I

285
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: mean I never watched the episodes though, right because Scott.

286
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: I was almost like, who's Scott? Because I wasn't even

287
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: in with you? So this is like one layer back

288
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: from you. So you've never watched him and I eat.

289
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: So the guy who's like interviewing me, I'm like, I

290
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: had better figure out who this guy because I never

291
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: watched them. But yeah, I do remember the cute guy.

292
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: Just still are you got a little this going on

293
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: now with the backwards hat? So you didn't watch him?

294
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: How did you get away with that? Well? I was

295
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: working on them all the time. I don't want to

296
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: come home and watch them, you know, Like I I

297
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: knew people who were on series and they would invite

298
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 1: you over to their apartments of their houses because they

299
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: were getting all their friends together watching the episode. And

300
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, that is so strange. Why would anyone do that?

301
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: I would be I'm not a huge fan of watching. No,

302
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm not either. I mean, I would be horrified to.

303
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: I would never. I would never. I would have That's

304
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: like torture. I would never even think of doing something

305
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: like that, because why would you put yourself through that.

306
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 1: You had friends that actually did that, they'd be like, guys,

307
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: it's my weekly episode, let's all come over and watch.

308
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: I remember dating a girl before I was involved in

309
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: in acting who did that. She was on a series,

310
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,239
Speaker 1: and and she would do that. She would invite all

311
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: her friends over and then she would, you know, they

312
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: compliment her, and they'd leave, and I'd be sitting there

313
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: kind of dumb struck about what that whole process was

314
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: all about. I mean, I kind of got that she

315
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: wanted to watch the show, but I mean, I don't know,

316
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: it's just not I just was never and I don't

317
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: like watching myself. It's it makes me very uncomfortable. Um,

318
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: I never have anything good to say. I'm twenty two

319
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: years removed from this show, though, and I feel a

320
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: little better about watching it. Doesn't it doesn't it doesn't

321
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: it skive me out so much. I mean I can

322
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: stomach it. Um. I think I remember even back then

323
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: watching and I was like, oh, I look like I'm

324
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: looking so skinny. It was always something it looked like

325
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm amazingaated. That's not what I sell. My hair is

326
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: cues straight, like because I usually my hair is kind

327
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: of straightened it, but it's usually like full on be cruly,

328
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: and I always just even my commercial agent was always

329
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: no straight in your hair, but that's what the moms are.

330
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: So it was just like I was like, oh man,

331
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: that's not me. But it was fun to go back,

332
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: obviously twenty two years later and be like can be like,

333
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, like you can kind of appreciate your younger self.

334
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: I think when it's not like a month after you

335
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: shot it exactly. Um. Yeah, so you've act, you've acted
