15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: And guess what, here's a little piece of culture. It's

Speaker 1: Stars Born trailer um and We're far from the shell now.

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: That was like a beautiful mix of Bradley Cooper and

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,720

Speaker 1: Skippy's step up those texts. Also, she's just I'm just

37
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: like a pre eminent mind. I would say, I gotta

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the eminent mind science for her when

39
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,520

40
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: just like withdrew my application from med school and I

41
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: was like, what the funk? Am I doing? Um? But

42
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: then like I read Science for her and I was like,

43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: this is the funniest thing. I still think it's one

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: of them. We were just screaming in the car and

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: also I was happy because listen, this is not and

46
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Was an observation the Uber drivers

47
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: in l a very chatty, very chatting. All I wanted

48
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: to do was share excerpts of Science for her with

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Hi Matt, and we we we cut the driver out

50
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: of a conversation very quick because I was like, no,

51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: we're like, this is our moment, so anyway, um, and

52
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: then we laughed out loud and said select lines from

53
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: the passage. But you can't possibly have understood, of course. Um.

54

64
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: to be here. I was just clenching my fists waiting

65
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: to get in on those Stars Born trailer. Okay, gift thoughts.

66
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: I well, first of all, I've never heard a country

67
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: singer with Lady Gaga's placement vocal. She is just it's

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: so rich. That vibrato is just huge. Drive a truck

69
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: through it. We're gonna get theater country. And I love it.

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: I love that it's in a world. It's like a

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: science fiction movie, in a world where country a musical

72
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: theater has meshed. It's like a dystopian feature. And I

73
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: see it throws me off a little bit that they

74
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: chose country music as the scene. No, no, no, I

75
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: love that it's country music. It throws me off that

76
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: Gaga chose to keep the Gaga she's not doing country,

77
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: and absolutely love it. I also love that she in

78
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: the trailer says, uh, you know, people love my music,

79
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: but they don't love the way I look. And she's

80
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: like beautiful and then this is my I was watching

81
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: it with my friends, and my theory is you never

82
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: see her legs in the trailer. It was like, what

83
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 1: if a twist in the movies that she's actually only

84
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: a torso and that's what she's saying. It's like, my

85
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: face is very beautiful and I'm not saying that paraplegics. Well, no,

86
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying she's literally which is very beautiful. It's a

87
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: type of person. But I think that might be the struggle.

88
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: But they're burying the lead there but not showing that

89
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: she's Wow. That would be an amazing twist, and that

90
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: would be even more they're saying Oscar bait and Awards

91
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: bade big time, yes, and I love it. Lady Gaga

92
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: just on her arms the whole time. I don't know,

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: we'll see. There are so many because I've done the

94
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: thing now where I've watched so many times where I've

95
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: you know, hell and every The best part of the

96
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: trailer is like the super cut towards the end where

97
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 1: she's screaming her song and then literally there's like many

98
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: cuts of different things of her acting so hard, acting

99
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: over here, acting over there, filling up the frame and

100
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: there's a scene that I paused she's in the bathroom.

101
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: She's a scene where she's run out of a bathroom.

102
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: Still she's in like a business suit with her hair

103
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: up and like a tasteful situation. And she's bent over screaming.

104
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: And I paused it and I was like, what is that?

105
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: We do? See the legs and nutshot see oh my god,

106
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: oh my god. And I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I

107
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: really didn't watch carefully. I was focused on her face

108
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: and her vibra. She could still be apparently joking. I'll

109
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: tell you why, because oftentimes Hollywood they can be very smart,

110
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: and what they'll do is say, film extra scenes just

111
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: for the trailer to throw off you. Guys have been

112
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: in l A for two days and you already get

113
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: how Hollywood and they're so impressed to speaking of Hollywood. Um,

114
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: let's let's just start off the conversation. Yeah, I love

115
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: that by talking about an Emmy for maccan. The buzz

116
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: has been definitely a dinner of buzz. A deafening den.

117
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: It's hard to concentrate, there's so much buzz. There's so much.

118
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: It's like a white noise that just distracts everyone. And

119
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: white noise puts you to sleep, absolutely, But no, none

120
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: of us are sleeping. No, it's like loud loud. Do

121
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: you find that maybe like the buzz? Well, this is

122
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: actually a really interesting conversation to have because you know,

123
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: the subject matter is trying to win an Emmy. But

124
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: now we get to that interesting thing of when the

125
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: buzz sometimes takes away from the work, but this it

126
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: kind of feeds itself and that's genius. I thank you.

127
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: I say this in the web series, but I really

128
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: did make this to win the award. I was watching

129
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: the Emmi's last year. There's a bunch of new awards

130
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: for web series content, which is amazing beautiful. Yeah, and

131
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, I look, I'm not Lady Gaga yet.

132
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: I can't carry a full, very very strenuously acted movie yet,

133
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: but I can. Yeah, a lot of a lot of

134
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: pulled muscles on. That's but I feel like my skills

135
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: are good for like six minutes at a time. Like

136
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm really charismatic for like six minutes. So this podcast

137
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be great for like the first chunk and

138
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: then just horrible. But so I I think of myself

139
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: as a web SERIESO tour um. But yeah, the Emmy

140
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: voting opens Monday, June eleven. Okay, so this will come

141
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 1: out the next day. This is coming out on Tuesday.

142
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: So this is actually this episode is going to be

143
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,119
Speaker 1: called for Your Consideration? So perfect. Yeah. So I spent

144
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: one day filming the series, and I've spent weeks now

145
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: publicizing it. I bought a billboard in Hollywood. It's really

146
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: so sick. It's at Hollywood Boulevard and Wilton Place. If

147
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: here's the thing for anyone listening out there, it's really

148
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: easy to buy a billboard that says anything. It is

149
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: prohibitively expansive. Spent more money on the billboard than I

150
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: did on the series. But that's the way it works. Yeah,

151
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: that's the way Hollywood works. And you have to get

152
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: out there and promote yourself. Like remember when Melissa Leo

153
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: brought her own for Your Consideration and she won the

154
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: Academy Award. Now I have to ask, are is there

155
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: something that we as the viewer do not know that

156
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: it is more esoteric in the Emmy sort of in

157
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: the requirements, is it really just it has to have

158
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: six episodes, it has to be it has to be

159
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: on YouTube, it has to be uploaded before April whatever

160
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: it was, and then I'm sorry, and then you will

161
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: have an infamy um as FDR said, and what was

162
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: the third requirement? These are truly the only requirements. Okay,

163
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: six episodes. There's no minimum length, uh, and they have

164
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: to be under fifteen minutes each, which you know, no problem, sir.

165
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: And they have to be uploaded the right time. They

166
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: also have to have scripts, which is why I heavily

167
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: scripted my series. If anyone I ideally wanted to send

168
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: out the scripts of my series to the entire Emmy

169
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: voting block, it's more expensive than you'd think to send

170
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: out to send out the steps I'm willing to. I

171
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: just wish there was an email list you could just spam.

172
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: You would think that it's as easy as this, but

173
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: it's not. No, it's not. And I think that if

174
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: I win an Emmy, I'll have the cloud to make

175
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: some major changes in the academy, right right right, because

176
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: when there needs there needs to be changed. Now, I

177
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: need to ask you, what do you visualize as the

178
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: roadblocks ahead of you? Yeah? Who is competing with you?

179
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: And bring down my spirit? I'm sorry, No, no, no, no,

180
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: I think it's good to be realistic. I think it's

181
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: harder to get nominated. I think once you get nominated,

182
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: this is this is exactly what I'm thinking. I don't know.

183
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I don't know who else is competing

184
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: in this category. And come Monday, and if you guys

185
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: are listening to this on Tuesday, rice to your computers,

186
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: get in the academy. I am so curious to see

187
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: if other people had the same idea as me, like

188
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: that they'd be a good web series based actor or actress.

189
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: But I think there's going to be a lot of

190
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: celebrities competing in this category. Uh, and you know, my

191
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: name might not have the recognition that's say a Natalie

192
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: Pork love her beautiful woman beautiful. So I might not be,

193
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, a Penelope Crew. But I think I have

194
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: a lot of spirit um. But should I get nominated,

195
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: I have set aside a slush fund to really really

196
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: hit the publicity home. And I'm thinking I never delved

197
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: into the New York market. But which is so rude

198
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: of me? Yeah, it's really I was walking through Time

199
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Square recently and I'm like, how do I get one

200
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: of those big electronic billboards Times Square? I could see it,

201
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: just me waving at the tourists from far and wide. Um,

202
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: so I'll be looking into that. Please. Now it will

203
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: be historic if you are not only nominated, but if

204
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: you do win. For you to win as a beautiful

205
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: creative American, we can confirm, um, that we are talking

206
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: to a beautiful Korean American woman. And that's because that's

207
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: how you've chosen to identify for purposes of your life

208
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: going forward, or just you know recent Yeah, so just

209
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen the series, which seems insane, but

210
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: I did a twenty three and me recently and I

211
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: found out I'm about Askenazi Jewish, but I found out

212
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: I was point one percent Korean, not negligible. They included it,

213
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: included and it's so easy to not include it, but

214
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: they did so many things made sense. Um. And you know,

215
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: I looked at myself in the mirror before that and

216
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,599
Speaker 1: I always was like, what is that? Then? What is

217
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: that about me? Yeah? What, there's a beautiful Korean thing

218
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: about fun? There's something fun in the mirror. It's something. Yeah,

219
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: a little paprika thrown in there. And I got my

220
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: genetic results back and it all fell into place. Now

221
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: here's something I am a part of the Emmy Voting

222
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: Academy and I got an email recently that they were

223
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: doing a panel with Asian American women who were in

224
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: the Academy, and I realized I hadn't asked me, And

225
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: it was a really horrible way to find out that

226
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't on the panels by getting an invitation. It

227
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: almost felt like they were rubbing it in that they

228
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: were like, we're inviting you, but you're not on the panel.

229
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: It's so emblematic I think of the industry and all

230
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: the quote unquote steps forward that we're taking, where it's

231
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: like it's still so exclusive, even even though like there's

232
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: so much and they're leaving out so many people. Really

233
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: that's really what it is. How dare they? But I

234
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: almost showed up and just like went on the panel.

235
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: But I thought, you know what, let them have their time.

236
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: Well you know that, but it's not them, it's you

237
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: are them. You're right, I need to change the way

238
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: I think about yea. And also, here's the thing, there's

239
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: no such thing that's bad pity. And I think that

240
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: if you had gone and made an issue of it,

241
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: I think you might be able to Well. I have

242
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: some I have some big things coming up. I really

243
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: want to. In my web series, I also sing the

244
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: national anthem, which I mean is one of everyone's favorite songs.

245
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: Just like it's just like in every time different every

246
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: time you have no idea what's going to come out

247
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: of your mouth. I really for years I've wanted to

248
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: sing the national anthem at a w NBA game because

249
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: very seriously, I think it's super fucked up how much

250
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: people make fun of the w n B. I'm not

251
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: a sports fan, but I just in theory love the

252
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: w n B. A is a punchline and why no,

253
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: it's crazy, They're amazing. But I really want to sing

254
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: the national anthem at a w n B A game. Um,

255
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: but we can probably make that happen. Yeah, I feel

256
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: like last cool Threstas has a big let's let's just

257
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: say that, Like we'll just say out loud that you

258
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: know that's something. Put it in the atmosphere right as

259
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: they say, I just also have to shout out. Quick

260
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: note is that I went to New York last weekend

261
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: saw what I'd estimate to be every gay person in

262
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: New York and hang out. They are all huge fans

263
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: of this podcast. That's crazy, but they don't. They don't.

264
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: They certainly don't approach. They don't approach us. They don't

265
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: approach it. I'm going to tell him not to be shy,

266
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: skittish little Mayre's anymore. Do you know what happened? Stop

267
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: being a sly shy. Sometimes I will receive Instagram direct

268
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: message and they will say bitch, and they just call

269
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: me bitch. What are you listening to as you stomp

270
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: through Times Square? Because I will be listening to music

271
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: and I feel music and something about me that is

272
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: very different and unique. Um is that I feel music

273
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: all throughout my body especially, But it's a very good song.

274
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: You can really tell, like, I don't know. I'm just

275
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if it means that I'm a dancer.

276
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: Maybe I should go on Dancing with the Stars. I

277
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: feel like you should be in a Stars born. I

278
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: feel like that. Well, here's the I would love to do.

279
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: Actually attack We played black Swan. We did black Swan

280
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: on stage as a musical with the music of Chicago. Yes. Oh,

281
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: and who do you think was Natalie? Who was Mila? Um?

282
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: I think Bowen was Natalie. I have more Mila energy, obviously,

283
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: because Mila. You know, music in her body and like, like,

284
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, she's very free and loose. Hair down, I

285
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: do on my ballets of my hair down, yes, gets

286
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: right in your face. Yeah, and um oh. So then

287
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: I have to respond to these people, who what are

288
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: you doing? And I'm like, where are you? And I

289
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: don't and then I don't get an answer to that.

290
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: So now there's just these games watching me as I

291
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: walk on the street. Do you watch Game of Thrones.

292
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm very scared of Game of Thrones because of the violence.

293
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of violence, but there's like a sparrow

294
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: system where it's basically like a unit character who has

295
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: all these people watching other people. And I imagine that

296
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: there's some sort of sparrow system in Times Square, gay

297
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: people waiting for you to jazz down the streets. So

298
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: stop are you? Are you like really hitting the steps heavy? Well?

299
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: I just like to hear. What I do is because

300
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: I'm a very big fan of RuPaul's drag race. I

301
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: lip I like to lip sync, but I don't want

302
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it outwardly, like I don't

303
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: want to be like a crazy person like lip syncing

304
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: the words on the street. But I will like in

305
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: my brain picture myself performing of song, and so sometimes

306
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: that just you know, gets away from me and I'll,

307
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, be emotionally. That's I guess really what it is.

308
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: It's I'm emotionally embodying it. Physically, I have a very

309
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: heavy step. I've been told before that I need to

310
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: sit down softer. I didn't break. I didn't break a chair.

311
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: This was I have a history of older women telling

312
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: me how to live my life, and I just am

313
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: very sweet and take it very sincerely. But I was

314
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: at like a movie screening outside and they're all these

315
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: like deck chairs and I sat, I sit down with

316
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: my full force of my body. I let gravity really

317
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: do most of the work. And the chair like folded

318
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: up underneath me, and a woman behind me was like,

319
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: maybe if you didn't sit like that when it happened,

320
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: what at what age do you become this expert in

321
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: chair rizzled white woman who tells you how to sit,

322
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: who has no concept of boundaries and tells a stranger

323
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: how to place their gravity. I don't like her at all.

324
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: Just because I'm Korean, you can't they she saw you

325
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: and she said, I'm gonna walk. Let me walk all

326
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: over this Korean Korean. Sorry, beautiful Korean, beautiful Korean. We're

327
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: quoting U. I bent a stool leg um in San

328
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: Francisco out of bar in Chinatown, and I have never

329
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: been more humiliated in my own in a place where

330
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: I meant to feel safe. It was like steel stool.

331
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: Everyone okay, the people I were, The people I was with,

332
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: maintained that it was already like warped in. It was

333
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: already that way, but it had for some reason, it

334
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: had been propped up to look like it was just

335
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: structurally sound. But as soon they placed my weight on it,

336
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: I like, I ate ship and like I just like

337
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: my feels like they're fault. It feels like the restaurants

338
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: will have you sued them. Well. I was with Blair

339
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: and Blair's Blare's a great lawyer now in San Francisco,

340
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: and she was like, we could, we could literally sue.

341
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: And I was like, it's fine, Why are you so?

342
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: Why are you attacking it like that? Like why why

343
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: are you being nice? Why not? It was it was

344
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: like it was like a mom and pop Chinese bar,

345
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: And like I did not want to make weights something

346
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: that's a trap that they put there to make people

347
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: think they should lose weight. Oh my god, maybe it's

348
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: like an elaborate system. Everyone falls down on the stool.

349
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: That is so Chines, very California of them. So it

350
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: would it would be. I almost sued an escape room

351
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: thing I've ever said. Okay, okay, that's not part of it.

352
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: I love escape rooms, like so stupid people should on

353
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: escape rooms all the time. Now they're like, oh, it's

354
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: white people paying for struggle, and I'm like, no, I

355
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: love not paying for struggles. Paying for like a puzzle,

356
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: you immerse yourself in, get over yourself criticism. Escape's very wholesome,

357
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: and I love puzzles of all types. But I was

358
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: in an escape room in Orlando, Florida with my brother

359
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: and his wife and they were showing us at the

360
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: end what we did wrong. Sorry, look, I'm flawed, just

361
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: like any other beautiful Korean woman. And a treasure chest

362
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: that this man had propped up bell on my finger

363
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: and my fingure started gushing blood. Oh my god. You can, like,

364
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show not the podcast listeners, but you can

365
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: kind of see the scar on my finger. People king Yeah.

366
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: And I also I was just like, escape rooms are

367
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: dirty because they're set up in like warehouses and a

368
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: million people are touching them all the time. But the

369
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: room I was doing was like horror themes, So I

370
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: hope there's like my dried blood somewhere in the room. Anyway,

371
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: it was fine. My brother is a doctor and he

372
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: wanted to give me stitches, but he's not a hand doctor.

373
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: And also he was my childhood bully, so I was like, no,

374
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: you don don't trust me. It was really layered. But

375
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: I have a question for you, So what is your

376
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: role in the escape room? Because I feel that when

377
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: you go into such a good idea, I feel like

378
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: I do when you going there together, like my thing

379
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: that I do because I'm not necessarily like the smartest sleuth,

380
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: but I am really the best clips anchor. Yeah, I'm

381
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: per forming on the corner. No, but on our most

382
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: recent trip to an escape room, they came over the

383
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: loudspeaker and they said, you can also um to help

384
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: look for like hidden um Eastern Easter. Yes, we were,

385
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: we were here. We were here doing Easter and then

386
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: like part of the theme was they had little Easter eggs,

387
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: and so I was like, good, I'll look for the

388
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: things hidden around the room. I'm not going to find

389
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: out the puzzle. I also just like I want to

390
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: set the scene of like me doing an escape room

391
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: with like six huge gay guys and it was for

392
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: and Teller themed and there were so many scarves in it,

393
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: and I feel like half of us just spent the

394
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: time admiring putting scarves on. No, I am like very

395
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: much like a home I love homework like I love

396
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: like math and figuring out more cerebral puzzles. I don't

397
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: have a great spatial reasoning. I never know which side

398
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: of my body is like right or left, So I'm

399
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: not going to be the one who's like doing a gadget.

400
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: I have a question because you are you are like

401
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: low key hi KEI like a gamer. I would say

402
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: the reason I love escape rooms is because I equate

403
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: them to like a real life like Zelda done. Oh

404
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: my god, the first time I did an escape this

405
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: is like not funny because I'm getting too sincere about this.

406
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: The first time I did one was basically Zelda themed.

407
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: It was the most you for experience of my life.

408
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: I was like, leave this disgusting world behind and put

409
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: me in like Zelda room for an hour. Yes, Like

410
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: that is like that is all I want. I really

411
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 1: want to create Escape. I'm like too lazy to do it,

412
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: but I have a bunch of ideas for themes. Theme

413
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: one is like general Hollywood meeting, which justice at the

414
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: scene you've ever been on. It's like you get to it.

415
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: You get to a lobby at some building and usually

416
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: a woman is there to be like, can I get

417
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: you anything? Water, diet coke, And then you just like

418
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: sit on a chair and then you go into a

419
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: meeting and talk about yourself and then nothing happens. So

420
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: I wanted to be like you're in the lobby and

421
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: all you have at your disposal is water and a

422
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: diet coke and you have to like figure it out

423
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: from there. And then also haunted weed dispensary, like like

424
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: you're blowing you have to blow weed smoke to see

425
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: like a laser light on the wall. There's so many

426
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: good options. I think this isn't a thing that could

427
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: really happen if you win the Emmy and your profile.

428
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: Wait should I make an Emmy for Megan Escape roomy?

429
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: But also just to put one more thing about the series,

430
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm doing. This will come out after the show, but

431
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing a show tomorrow Sunday at uc B. That's

432
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: a screening and like a Q and a panel that

433
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: including including my friend Andrew Law, who was cut out

434
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: of the series. Andrew is so funny. We did about

435
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: a two hour long take of a scene that got

436
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: entirely kind. Here's the thing, and my series is not like,

437
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: there's not a high bar for what gotten it. It

438
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: was a lot. I Andrew is a very very good

439
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: friend of mine, so I was like, we're just gonna riff, Like,

440
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: we'll be in my bed together. What do you mean wasted? Yes, yeah,

441
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: we'll riff around the script. Oh my god, thank you

442
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: so much, because I've seen the script and it's definitely

443
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: the script script. I'm really really proud of the script.

444
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: But we mostly I was like Andrew, how's your day

445
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: and he's like not good? And I was like why

446
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: and he's like, my comes black and I was like,

447
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: oh that sucks. Why and he's like from eating so

448
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: much dirt? And then we just, for like what felt

449
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: like two hours, talked about who's black black calm, and

450
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: it was it just it didn't totally fit with no, yeah,

451
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: because it's not about you winning an Emmy. Because honestly,

452
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: you kid, just that was actually really selfish of him. Honestly,

453
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: it's a very selfish I have to really come out

454
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: and say that was really selfish of him too, not

455
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: only like disregard your script with this MPO, which I'm

456
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: sorry it is like not an art form now. Yeah,

457
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: and how dare he like not talk about like she

458
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: was in a different series. I feel like he just was.

459
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: You know, have you see someone in a movie or whatever,

460
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: You're just like David, don't know what movie they're in.

461
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: Andrew does not know what series is in right now.

462
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: But at the show along with Andrew, it will be

463
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: moderated by Jane Lynch, who won. Yes, I swear to

464
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: god Jane Lynch's moderating. She's such a sweetheart, She's very funny.

465
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: I have not asked her this. I do kind of

466
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: want her to bring her Emmy from Last Hold, the

467
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: real one that I think she has a couple, right,

468
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: she has, she must, but specifically she won for the

469
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: Outstanding Actress in a short farm, comedy or Drama. Can

470
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: I ask one more question about like exactly what qualifies?

471
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: Because I might have a series coming out and I

472
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: just want to make sure it qualified over the rules

473
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: already know, but I need to ask another question about

474
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm happy to help someone who wants to follow, because

475
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: I think I saw this a bone before we came here,

476
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: and he described me as a unique bitch and like

477
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: a passive aggressive tone. And we haven't talked about it,

478
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: but I'm really upset. Um. I identify with you because

479
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: I very badly want to win a major award. And

480
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: that's when I called him at UNI and I said, wow, yeah,

481
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: what a unique bitch. And I was like, I smiled

482
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: through it, but I was really upset. I'm glad that

483
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: we're airing it now. Yeah, yeah, and we'll have a

484
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: more in depth discussion about it later. But I feel

485
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: that it was very Hollywood of him to be very

486
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: passive aggressive in the York. Yeah, yeah, can he scowled

487
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: at a uh man who was making my coffee today

488
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: because he took fucking forever. But it's a babe, you

489
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: have to do this made he's we goal weed, right, No,

490
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: you need to relax. He made a latte cocktail with

491
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: like orange, like an orange. I was like, this is outrageous. Honestly,

492
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: it was for someone else. It was for someone else,

493
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: but I literally I was being very l A and

494
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: like like I was like, I even complimented. I was

495
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: like that looks amazing, and then and then um like

496
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: but bo and I could see he's kind of like

497
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: very New York right in that moment. But like, okay,

498
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: so do I am a different fanning himself with metro cards.

499
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: It's like a full deck of them. I guess you've

500
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: really brought your New York, your evil New York energy

501
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: to l A. To be rude to this, you think people. Okay,

502
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: so can I tell you something? First, let me ask

503
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: my question, and then I want to ask another question,

504
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 1: and the probably after that. So first of all, I

505
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: am thinking about making a webisodes that's five episodes, But

506
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: does that mean I won't you have to have sex

507
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: that is in You have to add another I know

508
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: it's hard, but something that was easy to script right now.

509
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: I know. But here's the thing. So it has to

510
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: be six episodes, but they don't have a minimum time limit.

511
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: Essentially you can make less content and qualify core wreck. Alright,

512
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: I don't understand. You can just do a clip show.

513
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what your series is, but just make

514
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: the fifth episode of clip show Okay, okay, yeah, that's

515
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: a good idea, alright, but why are you married to five? Well?

516
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: I just that's just what we've been writing down, okay, Okay.

517
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna do five, it's not going

518
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: to be an award contender. You can put it out there,

519
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: but you should do like a two part cliffhanger. Again,

520
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what your series is, but I have

521
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: ideas for breaking it up. Okay, now, and you said

522
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: you had a follow up question. I forgot it. Okay, now, Megan,

523
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: when you see but you didn't you didn't foresee this

524
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: Andrew episode while you were breaking this this this season.

525
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: I thought that it was going to just be a

526
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: more natural fit, okay, And I didn't know how I

527
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: was going to edit it necessarily, and I tried to

528
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: get the Andrew scene in there, but it truly was

529
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: just like nothing, Well, there's no there's no dramatic tension

530
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: there because really all it is is a diet stary

531
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: change for him. He'd have to stop eating dirt dirt.

532
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: It was we were trying to be really grounded, remember

533
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: our UCB training of yes, and like like a person,

534
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: remember your training, but it just didn't it just didn't work,

535
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: and I'm glad to have a public opportunity to hash

536
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: it out with him. This is new. Have you talked

537
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: about this before. This is the first place you've talked

538
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: about I had to break it to him privately that

539
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: he was not in the series before it because they

540
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: didn't want him to like email his family or anything like, look,

541
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm in this award winning web series and then watch

542
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: with them and I have to see the horror on

543
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: their faces. I realized. But in that scenario that you

544
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: just outlined, for him to email his family and be like,

545
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: look at this award winning web series, you would have

546
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have been like he would have found out

547
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: after the timeline is really confusing there. I have always

548
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: been calling it an award winning web series from day one,

549
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: just because I think you can safely assume at some point,

550
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: but you put it out there in the world now

551
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: I remember my question. Okay, okay, okay, So can I

552
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: get a spoiler? Oh? Of course. Okay. So in the

553
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: last episode, our friend, Um your Phoe Darcy Carden comes

554
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: in and it's very much Um. The episode really takes

555
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: a turn when Darcy kills Megan. Yes, that was the

556
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: only part that was not scripted. Wow, that's crazy. Yeah,

557
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: what's crazy is I thought we were just going to

558
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: do like it's in my kitchen. I thought it was

559
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: going to be like a Nancy Myers type episode Wonderful Women, Yeah,

560
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: cooking whatever, And uh, yeah, Darcy went psycho. I mean,

561
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: I hate to call a woman crazy. She went crazy, woman,

562
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: crazy woman. She poisoned me. And yes, I mean I've

563
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: barely someone whiter. She's like six ft tall, so it's

564
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: like more white skin than yes'm but she killed me.

565
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: And I also like, I haven't seen Darcy since she

566
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: killed me, and she's going to be in the show tomorrow,

567
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: and I just like, I'm really kind of nervous but

568
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: also excited to get in a fight with her on

569
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,719
Speaker 1: the up stage, right right, right. But I have a

570
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: note for you, I guess. So whenever I enter a room,

571
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: the first thing I think, and this is because of

572
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: survival instinct, which I don't know if you know about

573
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: the climate right now, but I think we need to

574
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: start kicking in our survival instincts. Yeah, whenever I enter

575
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: a room, I think about, Okay, in a moment of madness,

576
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: like how would I kill everyone here. So I think

577
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: you should have thought about that. That's amazing. Yeah, like

578
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have turned your back to Darcy. I don't

579
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: think even you feel like it's safe to do so

580
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: when you're in a web series that's scripted that you're

581
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: like doing the script for. Yeah, you just like can't

582
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: ever let your guard down, even if you're in a

583
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: web series and you were literally turning your back because

584
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 1: you were putting it together a set deck or your gathering,

585
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: and I think from what I can tell, you were

586
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: just taking chopsticks. Well, yeah, there's I was putting together

587
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: set deck. It's like a very complicated thing. It's like

588
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: an l A. Thanks. So you guys might not we

589
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: don't understand know about it, um, but it stands for

590
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: set decorations, right, Okay, So yeah, the chopsticks were not

591
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: exactly how I wanted them, so I was moving. Well, yeah,

592
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: you need them to be. And so she took that

593
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: opportunity to pour I guess cyanide in your drink. Yeah,

594
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was, but it did not

595
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,239
Speaker 1: taste good. Killed you? I killed? Oh my god. Can

596
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: I also say like, so I just think for you,

597
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: like a good note would be like find out ways

598
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: that you could kill people before they like, oh my god,

599
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: well season here's the thing I'm ready to officially to

600
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: ideally would come out before the voting is done, but

601
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, So okay, Emmy voting is June

Speaker 1: if I'm not nominated, then season two is going to

608
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: be coming back bigger and better than ever. I wanted

609
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: to have the budget of a real television show, and

610
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: I have a lot of stunts that I want to do.

611
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: I think that there's going to be some pyrotechnics I

612
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: want to use, like the letterbox format like Master of

613
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: None does. And I have a lot of stylistic ideas

614
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: for season two. So can I ask you a question?

615
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: Of course? Is it so it's just outstanding actress in

616
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: a short form? Yes, So this means lead actress and

617
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: supporting actresses all and all acting is combined to But

618
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: here's the other thing, and you might want to look

619
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: into this. For your series, you have to be in

620
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: like more than fifty percent of the episode to count

621
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: as Outstanding Actress. So you were very careful to not

622
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: allow any of that to be more than because you know,

623
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: Darcy is very good in that last episode. Not to

624
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: pull focus from you, but you were also amazing. Luckily

625
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: for me and unluckily for you, she was not in

626
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: enough episode because for this series. But you know, if

627
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: I win the Emmy, I feel like maybe she should

628
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: accept it, or maybe I think like awards are very complicated,

629
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: like maybe I shouldn't accept it at all. You know,

630
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: that would be such, that would be very good, such

631
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: a great term. You need to send someone important in

632
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: your place, though, because you have to do like a

633
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: Marlon Brando. I'm going to send Marlon Brando, as he's

634
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: like a little bag the blood. We'll hit him up. Well,

635
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: he's a fan of the party's famous. He's actually is gay,

636
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: so you know, he's a beautiful gay guy. He's a

637
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: beautiful gay ghost. And I'm beautiful now in the physical world,

638
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: a beautiful little gay bag of blood. So we're going

639
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: to bring him in whatever form. But you know what

640
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: I think is really good of you. Though she might

641
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: not be eligible for this, but you are a good

642
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: friend because you did raise her profile in a huge way.

643
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: Is a real story is that Darcy was at up

644
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: fronts for the show that we were Darcy's on a

645
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 1: good Place, which I write for the best place, Oh

646
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: my god, wow. But we she was up front and

647
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: someone came up to her and was like, oh my god, Darcy,

648
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: I love you in an Emmy for Megan and seemingly

649
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: did not know that she was on a television show.

650
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 1: And I was like, this is exactly what I want

651
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: to hear. You raised her profile. Yeah, it was. It

652
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: was the best day of my life. Story between you

653
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: and Darcy, there is just one. The delivery is so

654
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: nuanced because you have a line that goes and this

655
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: is written in the script. You say did you like

656
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: the script I sent? And then she says yes, yeah,

657
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: I loved her like, yeah, yes, we were around it,

658
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: were round it. We watched it again. We were like,

659
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: we have to watch that back. So good Darcy wrote

660
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: that line. Can I also say, like, how mad would

661
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: you be if you want an Emmy for writing an

662
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: Emmy for Magame. Well, it's I literally had a dream

663
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: like last week that the nominations came out and I

664
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: was nominated for Best Wed Series, which is functionally writing it,

665
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: and not for Best Actress. And I was like excited,

666
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: but like kind of upset. You know, I would be

667
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: actually pretty furious. How would the inverse of that be

668
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: if you were nominated for Actress but not for Best

669
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: I think that would be fine because that is the

670
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: one that I'm really going interesting. I want to show.

671
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to show my chops and I

672
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: feel like that's the on me for your child. If

673
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: you literally win an Emmy Award for acting huge it,

674
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm like Sandra, Oh, yes, I'm going to be a

675
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: higher profile act dress than Sandra Oh. Matt, you know,

676
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: I love to talk about one of our sponsors of

677
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: this thing. Guess which sponsor we're gonna talk about. I

678
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: know you're gonna talk about Quip. It's Quip. Oh my god,

679
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: it's Quip. But the truth is most of us are

680
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: brushing our teeth wrong, not for long enough, and forget

681
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: to change her brush on time. That's because most brands

682
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: focus on selling flashy gimmicks rather than better brushing, but

683
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: not QUIP. So what makes QUIPS so different? Well, I mean,

684
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: for starters, QUIP as an electric toothbrush that's a fraction

685
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: of the cost of bulk gear brushes while still packing

686
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: just the right amount of vibrations to help clean those teeth.

687
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: And of course we've mentioned quips built in timer helps

688
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: you clean for the dentist recommended two minutes with guiding

689
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: pulses that remind you went to switch sides or quadrants. Okay,

690
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even know a two minute rule. It's a

691
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: two minute I don't follow that rule. I need to

692
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: start following that rule. You know when when you know

693
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: when you can do the dentist, and the dentist is like,

694
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: it's the two minute rule. Okay, no, I never I

695
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: never had the same. My dentist has literally never said

696
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: that to me before. So QUIP taught me what dentists

697
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: should have been. Absolutely and if if your dentists have

698
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: been telling you that all along, your very privileged, very privileged. Next,

699
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: QUIPS subscription plans are for your health, not just convenience.

706
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: which is everywhere I go. Everywhere I go, I take

707
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: my teeth and I can't forget them at home. I

708
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: run back and then I realized they've been in my

709
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: mouth the whole time, Like you know that thing of

710
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: like when you're like, where are my sunglasses? And they've

711
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: been on your head? Right frequently, that's the narrative with

712
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: me on my teeth. But then it's it's still that

713
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: thing where it's like you walk down the sidewalk and

714
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, did I leave my teeth? Teth? Thank God?

715
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: And you know, guys, it's not just a b one

716
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: that loves quip. Everyone loves quip. They were on Oprah's

717
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: Oh List, they were named one of Time Magazine's Best Inventions,

718
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: and it's the first subscription electric toothbrush accepted by the

719
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: American Dental Association that a D A plus. They're backed

720
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: by network of over twenty dentists and higienists and hundreds

721
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: of thousands of happy brushers who use Quip every day.

722
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: Can I tell you a true story. I went to

723
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: my dentists back in Colorado. We have a very complicated relationship.

724
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: I was telling my higgerist all that Quip. She was

725
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: not familiar and she goes, that's interesting, and she was

726
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: trying to like push this other like higher end brand

727
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: on me. But I was now, I'm really happy with

728
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: my Quip. But then what she did is she checked

729
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: my teeth. And usually she has something bad to say.

730
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: She's like, you're not fasting enough, there's stuff that's I

731
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: see some plaque build up here. She literally had nothing

732
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: bad to say about my teeth. Look to your teeth

733
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: and said, no notes, no notes. And you know why,

00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,239

00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: they were like, okay, this is all above board, let's

761
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: submit them. But we didn't. We receive no, happy, happy

762
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: to put my publicity force behind you guys for next year.

763
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: Thank you? What does that entail my own personal money

764
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: buying one billboard? Thank you. That's the most one of

765
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: the most cost prohibitive things of this whole promotion, the

766
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: campaigning process. If you want a webby you could we

767
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: got yeah, yeah, the first we got. I don't think

768
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: Whoopi Goldberg has a web She doesn't really. I don't

769
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: see her working towards it either, So listen, I mean,

770
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: if she doesn't want to work for it, that that's

771
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: part of the biz, that's part of the industry's very

772
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: She really doesn't work hard. I already know what I

773
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: would say. If I want an award, come on my

774
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: first line. I do so. I would be so surprised,

775
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 1: even if all the and it's like Sasha Stone, Nathaniel Rodgers,

776
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: even if they all said like it looks like and

777
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: it's Matt Rodgers to lose, I would be surprised. Even

778
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: if I'm not, I would go up to the I

779
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: would get my um emmy from let's say I was

780
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: gonna say, I was gonna say htta, but podmas are

781
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: both great. Um So I would get my award, I

782
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: would turn to the mic and I would go for

783
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: the next five seconds, I apologize in advance. That's so good. Yeah,

784
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: I because because I really want to win, because I

785
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: really want to keep saying it's not it was not

786
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: about the award. It was about the community. It was

787
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: about scripes, but the art. It was not about the award.

788
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: That is, you know, icing on the cave. Yeah, my

789
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: speech would be about how as a child, I would

790
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: grew up watching these shows and just wanted to be

791
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: a part of the community. That's what my speech would

792
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: be about. I grew up listening to podcasts and just

793
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: wanted desperately to be It's like Hayworth on a pod,

794
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: Helen Hayes on a podye of course, Rida Moreno, Rida Moreno.

795
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: I think Rida Marino just legit did WTF she did? Yeah,

796
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I want to listen to that. I

797
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: love thinking that Mark Brin and Rida Marino were at

798
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: like open mics together, and that's where it's very funny

799
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: from what WTF used to be to be like, yeah,

800
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: Rita and Mark just had like a really hard history

801
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 1: in the New York comedy scene, you know, really good

802
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: and this will be a fucking fantastic segue, but um,

803
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: you know it was really good on wtf was Anne Hathaway?

804
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: She was great similarly similarly good who as as we

805
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: scream and shout? She was so good at Ocean's And

806
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: you guys, we've all seen Oceans eight and now we're

807
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: gonna talk about we're all under the table right now.

808
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: It's like flat, we've slid, We've slid off the chairs,

809
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 1: just like I slid off my chair and hit every

810
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: bum bum the way down when the Stars Born trailer

811
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: came on before I was fully wet, and I who

812
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: it was a slip and slide down the screen. Baby

813
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: at the arc light, honey. And then okay, so we

814
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: still at the arc light, and then you can go

815
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: outside and they have all the gowns on display from

816
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: Ocean's eight. So I went to the arc light and

817
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: I did not I feel like I was so blown

818
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: away by this movie. I did not even register the gowns. Right.

819
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: I don't know where to start with this movie was.

820
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: It was first of all, it just was like I

821
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: give it a true A plus plust plus experience. It.

822
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: I cannot believe it has gotten not that good reviews

823
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 1: because I was like, these are all just like crusty

824
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: old men. Yeah, truly, that's get what this is going for.

825
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: The fact that it's set at the met Gallet is

826
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: like the most genius stroke of story. We plauded when

827
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: they went when they showed it basically was just a drag. Yes,

828
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: the fact that like eight of the most famous actresses

829
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: pretending to be in a movie. But they were just

830
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: being like, look, it's me Kate Blanchet, and like there's

831
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: a scene where Kate Blanchet and Sandra Bullock find Helen

832
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: a bottom carter like eating nutilla on the and who

833
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: was also fantastic. There's some great accent work in this movie,

834
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, you found your friend Helen

835
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: a bottom carter, Like could that be? But Anne Hathaway

836
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: is a dream come true. She's so funny, the plumpest

837
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 1: lips this side of the lips. This is my favorite

838
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: performance she's ever done. It's it is like perfectly self

839
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: parodi ing, but she commits. There's a point where she

840
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: just makes herself cry looking in the mirror because she's

841
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: not thin enough. You're using you're using all of your tools.

842
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: Truly for this movie, there's also like no not to

843
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: give spoilers, there's like no real conflict in the movie.

844
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: It's just like beautiful women hanging out having fun and

845
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: then also having more fun and then also having more friends.

846
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: It's like everything I want. It's so gentle, really was

847
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: so low cove. But there was never even a moment

848
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: where I was like, fun, fun, funk they're going to get?

849
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: Was that how Oceans was? Like? Was there any con

850
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: I think there was. I think there's at least peril

851
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: that the heist isn't gonna work right, And it's like

852
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: for this you're just like these are like it's like

853
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: Barbie dolls hanging out with each other, not like aesthetically,

854
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: but the vibe of just like perfect friends. And then

855
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: at the end after the heist, they're just eating pizza

856
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: together in aloft. I like, there's nothing more soothing. It

857
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: was so soothing. It felt like it was a salve.

858
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: It was like it was a south But it also

859
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: they it's at the met gala that they're doing this heist,

860
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: but then for what I think is forty minutes, they

861
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: just show a fake Matt gala. That is so funny

862
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: to me that they full on just do like Heidie

863
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: Gloom is there in a gown and they are giving

864
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: the audience exactly what they want, which is like mccalli

865
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: was like a month ago and I miss it. So

866
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: I also that you of course get Kim all the

867
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: Kardashians really and like shots just like very present. It's like,

868
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: that's the one. If I have one criticism, it's that

869
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: I wanted to see all right, I wanted to see

870
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: more celebs. I want more like it, like the blending,

871
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: because it's also celebrities playing fake celebrities. I wondered at

872
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 1: first of Anne Hathaway was going to play An Hathaway.

873
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: It would have been amazing, but it's like clearly they

874
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: I think I loved it in a very sincere way

875
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: because it full force was like we're going to give

876
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: women and queer people exactly what they want, just like

877
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: the We're not going to like just do like a

878
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: girl cast Oceans eleven. We're going to full on make

879
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 1: it like a much different tone, which I thought was wonderful.

880
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 1: It was candy. I played this game, this like movie

881
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: box Office game online where you just like rank what

882
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: you think the movie the biggest movies of the summer

883
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: are going to be and I kind of messed up.

884
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: I did put Oceans eight like third like above mission impossible,

885
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: and like Jurassic World, I think it's doing Okay, it was.

886
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: It's definitely not going to make a billion dollars, but

887
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: it was like wishful thanking of Like also, Rihanna, I

888
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: was just going to say on this show, Okay, we

889
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: need to get you need to reach. Yeah, I've thought

890
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: about it. Okay, Well, the thing is I think that

891
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: we have a lot and she just a w TF.

892
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: I honestly as my generations, Rihanna. God see, I think

893
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 1: that's what's keeping me. That's what's keeping me from winning

894
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: winning acting and podcasting awards because everyone thinks of me

895
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: as an iconic singer. Yeah, it's hard to separate you

896
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: into your various talents because really you just think like umbrella,

897
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 1: So you think that that's something that she really thinks

898
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: like she's like, oh, They're not going to take me

899
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: seriously as an actress because I'm an iconic pop star, Rihanna.

900
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: Maybe I think maybe she's like so iconic as like

901
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: the type of person that she is that I feel

902
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: like even the character she was playing in this movie

903
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: was like Rihanna influenced. Yes, I want to see her

904
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: as like like in the hours, like so we're in

905
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: the deep end of the pool, see how it goes.

906
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 1: But she said she portrayed a believable sister sister. Um,

907
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,919
Speaker 1: like I believe that that little girl her sisters. Yeah,

908
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: and I also how lucky is that little girl who

909
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: is Rihanna's sister? Anyone who had a bit part of

910
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: that movie. Our friend Will Stephen was in the movie

911
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: for two seconds, like I thought that was I also

912
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: went basically face blind and I saw the movie with

913
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: one of his friends and was going to lean over

914
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: and he was like him and then I was like, no,

915
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,959
Speaker 1: of course not no. It was he was getting funked

916
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: up at Aquafina and that and I guess Washington Square Park, Yes,

917
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: I did it. I reckon it's. I think it's I

918
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: think it's a perfect movie, perfect movie. I think it's

919
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: going to go. It's in the same way that like

920
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: Magic Mike XXL is one of my favorite movies because like,

921
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: nothing bad happens and it is like really kind and

922
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: shows masculinity in a way that's really positive. I felt

923
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,720
Speaker 1: the same way leaving this movie, which was like nothing

924
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: bad happened and it was those friends and I love that,

925
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: Like you get the sense that they're going to remain friends,

926
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: Like they all get on the subway together and like, yes,

927
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: they all go off and do there because spoiler alert,

928
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,439
Speaker 1: they win guys, Like they get away with the heist,

929
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: like that's part of it. Um, But then they all

930
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,959
Speaker 1: go to the activities. But you do get a sense

931
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,439
Speaker 1: that they will get together and like, you know, eat

932
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: more pizza in that loft. Yeah, they're going to get

933
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: together and go see Oceans or honestly, I bet they

934
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 1: all get together and get Stone and see Jurassic World Fallen. Yeah, yes,

935
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: which I'm actually really excited about too. It looks bad,

936
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: shit crazy, I am really excited. Um. I have a

937
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: few friends we've seen it and said that it's good.

938
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: Apparently there's a scene where I don't I feel like

939
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: this is real. It might be ingest where they like

940
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: have a close up on ry style as Howard's shoes

941
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: which are flats, to be like we're not we're not

942
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: fucking around this time, She's not wearing she hot. I

943
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: would never take her out of those heels. I'd be like, yeah,

944
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,439
Speaker 1: they should be higher this time, should be higher like

945
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: nine inch stilettos. Yeah, the flats lower the stakes. Okay, yeah,

946
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: did you heighten? For me? That was like a highlight

947
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: of the first movie, Like there was like like the

948
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: scene with Lauren Laptus and Jake Johnson to me was

949
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: the best thing about the movie. We talked about this

950
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: with with Gabers, like it took me out of the

951
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: movie where you're like, oh wait, this is a good comment.

952
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: This is like a great idea and crazy blockbuster. And

953
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: then the second best part of the movie had to

954
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: be Bryce Dallas Howard's nude heels, Like that had to be.

955
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: I think that they should lean into them this time

956
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: and like keep showing close ups where there's no like

957
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: mud or anything like that. And I also feel like

958
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: she should functionally be like floating through the whole movie. Yeah,

959
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: she They should be like show her feet running. Look, director,

960
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 1: they should show her feet running, but like her feet

961
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: don't really touch the ground. They get like half an

962
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 1: inch away from the ground, don't. Let's actually luck it

963
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: in as rule of culture. It's rule of culture number

964
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: seventy nine. Bryce Stallas Howard always be Yeah, they she

965
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 1: should get them surgically planted, and her iconic haircut is

966
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: now gone, and she's wearing like a ponytail, like a

967
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 1: more functional, like dinosaur saving ponytail. But they can't grab

968
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: you by that pony. I know. I was going to say,

969
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: we're getting a full master, but obviously a man wrote

970
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: this movie. If they're going to think that those dinosaurs

971
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 1: aren't going to go right for that ponytail, that they've

972
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 1: never been on a job, Yes, exactly. Listen. I am

973
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: so excited to go see the movie and I'm I understand.

974
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: I understand from it that they have to return to

975
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: the island to save the dinosaurs because the island is

976
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: going to explode. That is so it's like a volcano island,

977
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 1: and so they understand that they have to go talk

978
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 1: back to the island. It's a son to save the

979
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: dinosaurs and I don't know, bring them where. I don't know,

980
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: but the island does explode, and that's what you see

981
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: in the trailer is the whole island exploding, dinosaurs hopping

982
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: in the water, and if what we're seeing is to

983
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: be believed, the dinosaurs come back to society and they

984
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: like teach them how to be real English ladies, fair lady,

985
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: or they eat everybody all or Beaty Wang comes back

986
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: um and like just like like invites them to his

987
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: all Asian brunch. In the first Durassic he was the first,

988
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: and he was in the original he was sort of

989
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: a villain. Yeah, I think he is the villain. Yeah,

990
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: this is I was thinking in the car there was

991
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: like not a line I wish I had written more

992
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: than clever Girl. I think it is one of the

993
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 1: best lines. It can be used. Like it's so good

994
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: in the first movie. It's also so good as like camp.

995
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable to think about that. They when Spielberg was

996
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 1: making Jurassic Park, he knew it was going to be huge.

997
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: And in the script there's the line hold onto your butts.

998
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: And they said, and they said, you know, hundreds of

999
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: millions of people are going to see this, keep it.

1000
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: Keep the line. It's you know, he fought for that line.

1001
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna stick with it. I mean would say it. Yeah,

1002
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: the character would say. This character was Every frame had

1003
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: to be like poured over, you know what I mean,

1004
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 1: Let's let's really decide it and hold onto here abouts

1005
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: have made it And and Clever Girl made it and

1006
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: all these things, and it's just like, will be thankful today.

1007
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: You don't have enough catch phrases where catch phrase queenspid

1008
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: time like Oceans Loved It, but like give me, give me, well,

1009
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: give me like Anne Hathaway like saying something like I

1010
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: don't know what's a good what's a good? Hold onto

1011
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: your lips. I think there's a sleeper there's a sleeper

1012
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: quote catchphrase in Oceans eight, which she's doing the like

1013
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,240
Speaker 1: the walkthrough tour of the exhibit and the camera crews

1014
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: following I know what you're gonna say, and god you

1015
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: might remember how many? How many? But that was that

1016
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: was the classes we got to like a catchphraseer she

1017
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: gives you over the shoulder, movie star glamour enough like

1018
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: so fun, okay it is so no, no, no no, we're

1019
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: gonna say it just is. It is drag queens like

1020
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: everyone they're studied at least drag race. If not, you

1021
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: could do the same, you could you could do like

1022
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: the heightened person know that I was on RuPaul's drag

1023
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: you Yeah, I was like, I feel like I have

1024
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 1: to not leave this podcast without bringing them tell us everything,

1025
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: who who who was there? Who was there? Well? I was.

1026
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: When I first moved out to l A like seven

1027
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 1: years ago. I was on an extras casting website because

1028
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: I just was like working on casting networks. I just

1029
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: wanted to do like weird stuff and film my days

1030
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: and make money. And on the casting website was a

1031
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: pasting notice for like, are you a sad woman? Do

1032
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 1: you love gay people? Then sign up for this new

1033
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: show check and check and checkmate. And I wrote an

1034
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: essay that was like mostly based in reality but essay driven.

1035
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, I exaggerated some things, um,

1036
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: and then you attached a photo and they called me

1037
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: in for like a in person interview and they were like,

1038
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: don't dress up rest normally. So my normal was I

1039
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: were full like a red track suit and then a

1040
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,479
Speaker 1: huge nit sweater that had a big duck on the back,

1041
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: and I wore ballet slippers and my retainer and just

1042
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: like my glasses and looked horrible. I also like hadn't

1043
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: cut my hair in like four years, and they're like,

1044
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: you are you know exactly what we're looking for. So

1045
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: I was on an episode and drag you if you

1046
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: do not remember, which probably everyone does. They would have

1047
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: three women who the queens would make over into drag

1048
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: queens to give them the confidence of a drag queen.

1049
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,439
Speaker 1: And it was a single episode competition and I did

1050
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: win my episode. I was not problematic at all, no, no,

1051
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: no no. I mean it's very layered, but I will

1052
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: say Rue is like the nicest person ever, and truly

1053
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: believed that he was like making our lives but like

1054
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 1: it was so sincere, and I truly was like, this

1055
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: is a very sweet person. And I had a one

1056
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: on one interview with Rue where I tried to make

1057
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: myself cry during it. But and I cannot find the

1058
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: episode online anyway. They truly did. I can't even like

1059
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:48,439
Speaker 1: buy it. There's pictures of me online though my drag

1060
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: name was Smoky Saint James. And it was like I

1061
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: was kind of conflicted about doing it when I first did,

1062
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: because I was like making up crazy ship to say

1063
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: and I was like should I do this? I remember

1064
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: talking with my mom being like is this like horrible

1065
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: that I'm doing this? And then now it is like

1066
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: the only thing I care that I've done. Which drag

1067
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 1: queen made you over? Maria. My episode was Maria Raven

1068
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: and ju Ju B Juju B, who I am a

1069
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: big fan of uh was great. I feel like the

1070
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: queens did not really want to talk to about contested camera,

1071
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: which was fine, I there's but then the other girls

1072
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: I was competing against, We're both like lovely young women

1073
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: who I like became Facebook friends with. And I then

1074
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, this sucks that I'm basically

1075
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: doing this is a bit like they seemingly were doing

1076
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: it for real. All three of you like sort of

1077
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: like opted into the same thing. Something true, It was

1078
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: just different things. Yeah, but we we had a lip

1079
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: sync and I lip sync. Let's get physical. I feel

1080
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: like I really really gave it my own. I will

1081
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: send it to someone. Is that the connection that got

1082
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: RuPaul on your web series? I so Ruepaul. That's the

1083
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: first time I met Roue. And then like he followed

1084
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: me on Twitter a few years ago and I messaged

1085
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: almost like hey, I'm such a big fan. But also

1086
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: funny thing is that I was this person. I was like,

1087
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: oh my god, I totally remember you. And then when

1088
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: I was working at the Simpsons last winter, he actually

1089
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: came on into the voice and he's so funny and

1090
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: I got to hang out there and uh yeah, So

1091
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: so I emailed I emailed from my web series I

1092
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Give with a bunch of famous people when you will

1093
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: see who I am varying degrees of friends with, and

1094
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: it was like but like sort of, it was just like,

1095
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: this is the stupidest possible thing I could ask you for.

1096
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: And some people just immediately email back, like in two seconds.

1097
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Row in two seconds emailed back and sent me some

1098
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: yeah and something. There's like hilarious clip that was like, girl,

1099
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: I do not think you should be doing this. You

1100
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: seem desperate. I just it's a really bad look. But honestly,

1101
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: if you want this on me, I'm all behind you.

1102
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: Bit And it was like I could not believe it,

1103
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: and I was so grateful to these people for playing along.

1104
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: Rue was the only one that tried to talk some sense.

1105
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 1: I know. Everyone else was like, Megan, you're doing great.

1106
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Your web series is amazing, But the thing that Rue

1107
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: is the truth teller? Truly? Are you a drag Race fan?

1108
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: I am, yeah, So to this thing? Who are you

1109
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: pulling for? Going forward? Um? Miss Fongjie And she's not

1110
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: she's she's coming back. Well, rumor has it that she

1111
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: she'll be back for season eleven. Rumor hasn't gotten her

1112
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: on my website. Next year, my website is gonna be

1113
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: full drag race. We just did with Alaska and so fantastic.

1114
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: They were great for them. We're going to ask you

1115
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: what we ask all of our guests. Yes, we can't

1116
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: believe we're only getting to it now. We're all doing

1117
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: it now. The conversation is rollick, it's rolling. But then

1118
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: we'll ask, and then we'll move on. What is the

1119
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: culture that made you say culture is for me? This

1120
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: is to say that it's like like a piece of art,

1121
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: a book, a film, a TV show, a neighborhood, you

1122
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 1: know whatever. You woke up one day and you said, oh,

1123
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,479
Speaker 1: and this is like the culture that sang back. Well,

1124
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: my very very sincere answer is Steven Sonheim, which I

1125
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: from We were playing this game at work last week

1126
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: which was like which celebrity should they die? Do you

1127
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: feel complete ownership over? Like who is the person that

1128
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: for you would be like, this is someone who was

1129
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: in my life to such an an intimate extent, And

1130
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: we were trying to list like three people, and I

1131
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: was like, the only person for me is Steven Sonheim,

1132
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: which from the time I was like a little kid,

1133
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: my mom is a huge Broadway. I'm like a huge

1134
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: Broadway that it's not clear and uh so introduced me

1135
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: very young. But I just feel like every stage of

1136
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: my life growing up, I was like, oh, so, you

1137
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: can be incredible as a musician, and you can be funny,

1138
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: and you can be really dark, and you can be

1139
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: like sassy with attitude all at the same time and

1140
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: just really clever. And I feel like that sensibility carries

1141
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 1: out into so many of my different interests. But also

1142
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: because that he always operates in such specific atmospheres, like

1143
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: that's something into the Woods is like just so genius

1144
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: that he took those stories and made it into what

1145
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: I think Sweeney Todd is, for me, the best thing

1146
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. I agree. I actually have said this

1147
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: multiple times that I was like, I think sweet is

1148
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: the best piece of art that exists. And I'm willing

1149
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: to have this this hopefully not argument but conversation with anyone,

1150
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: which is like it most successfully accomplishes the thing it's

1151
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: trying to set out to do. But it's also like,

1152
01:03:55,480 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 1: I love I love things that are like super on

1153
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: with like an intense edge to them. Um So that

1154
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: to me, Sweeney Todd in Middle school or high school.

1155
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: When I first started listening to it was like so influential, groundbreaking. Um. Yeah,

1156
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: Before I moved here, I thought I wanted to move

1157
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,919
Speaker 1: to New York and try to write Broadway Theater and

1158
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: then was like, I guess I'll move to l A instead,

1159
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: But somedale moved to New York. I mean, I'm just

1160
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: trying to knock them out. I really ideally want to

1161
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: get a bit egot where like I somehow play the

1162
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: system in each of the category. One of my friends

1163
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: that were pitched that I should make a short film

1164
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: about the making of an Emmy for Megan and submitted

1165
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: for an Oscar documentary, which perfect. I'm going to work

1166
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: on that. Honestly, you know what. You know what I

1167
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: think is the easiest way to win an Oscar. You

1168
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: write a song in a movie. Yes, that is the easiest.

1169
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,919
Speaker 1: It's like it seems like they're just giving these out,

1170
01:04:55,120 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: given them out, Sam Smith, not nomin or like write

1171
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: it for an iconic film. I wrote. Yeah, I wrote

1172
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: for the Oscars this year. It was extremely fun but

1173
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: mostly like the craziest thing that I saw during this

1174
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 1: It also was unbelievable to see it like Sufie and

1175
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,439
Speaker 1: Stephens singing in front of me was really amazing. But

1176
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: for dress rehearsal the day before the Oscars, I did

1177
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: not know this. The musicians come and sing their real songs,

1178
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: and so you get like Mary J. Blige singing only

1179
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: to you and like ten other people. But for the

1180
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: so they can time the winners, they have stand ins

1181
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: who are extras who maybe kind of look like the

1182
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: people who could win, who come up and give fake speeches,

1183
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: but they write them. These stand ins write them like

1184
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: they are the people winning, and no share it on

1185
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: these people. It's like an amazing job and you get

1186
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: to pretend like you're winning an oscar. But so like

1187
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: someone would play like Timothy shall Amy or whatever coming

1188
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: up to the stage and are they holding a statue,

1189
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: they get a fake statue and they'll be like, oh

1190
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: my god, thank you so much, I can't believe I'm

1191
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: like the youngest winner or whatever. Like facts about these

1192
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: people flies and sometimes they go along and have to

1193
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: get played off, and I was like, this is the

1194
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: most mind blowing thing I've ever seen. So obsessed with it.

1195
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: I was like, this needs to be like a Christopher

1196
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: guest thing. The weirdest group. And I also was like

1197
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: I got the sense that they did feel like they

1198
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: were winning, which again it just was like you get

1199
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: you're on the stage people just like Mary J. Blige

1200
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 1: is saying with a choir, it feels real. You can't

1201
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: help but like live it a little bit. You're like,

1202
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: this might be the closest I get to this. This

1203
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: is amazing. I did a stand in for the ABC

1204
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Upfronts a few years ago. It was and like it

1205
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: was the year and they all had us do different

1206
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: like like, um, like we had a stand in for

1207
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: certain people and read what they were going to be

1208
01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: saying off the prompter. So we had to be good

1209
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: reading off a prompter. And like I was playing John Ridley,

1210
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: who created American Crime on ABC, and I had to

1211
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: like do the speech that was like you know when

1212
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: they announced like a Best Picture nominee, like and it's like,

1216

01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: lot of sitting. Standard never get it. I get it,

1228
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: got for Megan. We have to we have to make

1229
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 1: it happen. It's it's it could span a career, I

1230
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: mean literally. Okay, I have a question for you. What

1231
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: is the best version of Sweeney Todd that you've seen?

1232
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: Because I am an I have seen. I saw two

1233
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 1: different productions of the one that's off Broadway right now

1234
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: at the that church. Yeah, I think I forgot what

1235
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: it's called Barrow Theater, and that was a really I

1236
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: thought that was a great production. Um, just because it's

1237
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 1: so intimate. You're basically sitting in the stage and they

1238
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 1: like serve you pie. And I am like just truly

1239
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 1: partial to the original, which my mom a huge musical

1240
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 1: theater person. She has said that the best day of

1241
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 1: her life was giving birth to me and my twin brother,

1242
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 1: and the second best day of her life was when

1243
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: she was like twenty and saw the original Broadway production

1244
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: of Sweeney Todd and like it was like crying at

1245
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: the end by how much she loved it, but so emotional.

1246
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: It's just like angel Landsbury, who is just truly a queen,

1247
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: was like so good at embodying the comment the comedy

1248
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 1: of Mrs Lovett, but then also the like true desperation

1249
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: of her ultimate tragedy. Like has a great voice, and

1250
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 1: I just think like as a performer, she's so warm

1251
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: and funny, and there's very few people like that where

1252
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 1: I really just like love them and they're not larger

1253
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:21,520
Speaker 1: than like Patty Lapone is amazing, but she's like hilarious

1254
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: because she's so larger than life that you're like, that's

1255
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: Patty LuPone. Angela is more subtle in the way. My

1256
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 1: favorite that I will sit down and watch the whole

1257
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 1: thing like maybe three or four times a year is

1258
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: the concert version with Patty Lapone and George Hearn and

1259
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: Neal Patrick Harris, And I think that is amazing to me.

1260
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: And what's emblematic of what's so great about that is

1261
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 1: Patty Lapone's performance of Worst Pies in London because of

1262
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: what you said, like the broad kind of like genius

1263
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 1: execution of comedy there while she's singing in this opera

1264
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 1: attic style, just note perfectly telling the story. Because sometimes

1265
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: with Angela Lansbury and this is and and listen, listen,

1266
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's fine, it's a safe space. I trust

1267
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 1: my sister's UM. I have a hard time and this

1268
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: is my problem with Helen A. Bottom Carter in the movie.

1269
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: I have a hard time hearing exactly what every single

1270
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: word is. But Patty laponez was Partes and none, like

1271
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: she's just giving you, she's giving you no um for

1272
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 1: your consideration. No, but for me, that number and that

1273
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 1: whole show, that performance of it, I just love because

1274
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: they leaned into the comedy and I think it's so funny,

1275
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: but it's also so scary and dark. And also I

1276
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 1: love that it's just everyone's in like studio blacks and

1277
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: they're just like doing the thing. And like I think

1278
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: of Swen, my god, I love you would love to

1279
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 1: be love it. You would be great and you guys

1280
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: can be whoever you should be because you're evil and dark,

1281
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: because I'm evil and dark, and I think that I

1282
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: think I think i'll be and don't don't know one yell,

1283
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,640
Speaker 1: but I think I want to be Johanna. Oh that

1284
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: would be beautify. I wait one more thing about when

1285
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: you shot and then I promised all stop talking about it.

1286
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: One of my friends, who's a Broadway fan, brought up

1287
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: that he is one certain that Sweeney Todd and Mrs

1288
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Lovett have sucked by the end of the show, like

1289
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 1: that this is a big discussion, and I was like

1290
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 1: blown away because I never once considered that in my

1291
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: entire life of listening to every single note of this show.

1292
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,640
Speaker 1: I was like, no, it's clear to me that he

1293
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 1: has no use for her and that she is very

1294
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: like obsessed with how withholding he is and just like

1295
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 1: keeps doing stuff for him. Like maybe I've I've been

1296
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: in the place of having an unrequited crush one or twice,

1297
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: one or twice where it's just like no one is

1298
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: giving you anything, so you're just like, I'll do anything

1299
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: for you. I'll go get you sandwich from CBS. Yeah,

1300
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:15,839
Speaker 1: and you keep feeling so that's what I always assumed

1301
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,679
Speaker 1: she was. And then they're like, no, he doesn't like her,

1302
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: but he's just like they're in a relationship or whatever.

1303
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: And that seemed crazy. My ap let teacher had had

1304
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: to take on this. She said, study Sweeney Todd and

1305
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: he says, when my ap let teacher gay school. But

1306
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: I was so lucky because and this is actually an

1307
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,759
Speaker 1: insane story, but I took a plet in high school

1308
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 1: and she like had us read all this these amazing

1309
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: novels and everything. But then she was like, we're going

1310
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 1: to actually stop the curriculum and you guys are gonna um.

1311
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: Sweeney Todd was coming out of the movie and she

1312
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: was like, everyone goes see the movie this weekend and

1313
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: then we'll talk about Stevenson time and Sweeney Todd because

1314
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: what he does is in a way literally and um.

1315
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 1: So I went and saw it and the movie was

1316
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 1: like my first time ever seeing the story of it

1317
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: all the way through. And I do look back on

1318
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 1: the movie and I understand what it is, but I

1319
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: have like a like a dislike of it. The movie. Um.

1320
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: I was trying to like tiptoe around that, but the

1321
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: movie sucks. Um. But she was like in this movie,

1322
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: those characters have sucked. And she was like, in other

1323
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: forms of it, like in the first when they taught,

1324
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,679
Speaker 1: I don't think they've sucked, but in this movie they fucked.

1325
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: It just depends on whatever. And I was like, what's

1326
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 1: making you say that. She's like, look at the way

1327
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: that like like she's covetous of him, but like it's

1328
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 1: like a more casual, lived in thing, Like you can

1329
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 1: get the sense that looking at those two actors and

1330
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: those are like little more sexual than than Angela Lansbury plays, right,

1331
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: which is like matronly and Sanya. I can tell you

1332
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: that in our production, me and Bowen will have know

1333
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: it's going to be over and possibly on the stage. Yeah, well,

1334
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 1: Steven Sneim will send us a letter. He sends us,

1335
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: He sends letters. They were going to do an all

1336
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: male company at NYU. Here's the thing. Oh sorry, I

1337
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 1: don't mean to. As I explained at the beginning of this,

1338
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:14,719
Speaker 1: when I flew to New York last weekend to see

1339
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 1: all of Angels in American one day, I then was

1340
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:19,600
Speaker 1: read which I really loved. I was reading about the

1341
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 1: director whose name is Maryanne Elliott. I think um and

1342
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: I was reading about her, and they were saying that

1343
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,639
Speaker 1: she managed to convince Donheim to put on a all

1344
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 1: female company that they're doing in the West End, and

1345
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 1: she's such a talented director, and I'm like unbelievably excited

1346
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 1: for it, and I feel like maybe I'm cast. I

1347
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't like audition and no one knows

1348
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 1: who I am. Would you want to be a Bobby

1349
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I'd think. I think truly, I should

1350
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: just always play crazy people. So like Elaine Elaine Stretch,

1351
01:14:55,080 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: I would love I do it. I do it, not

1352
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: even when I'm supposed to be doing it. I'd come

1353
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 1: in during someone else's song and just start doing it.

1354
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love company. Can say it can

1355
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,560
Speaker 1: make something sinful. I have never seen any iteration of

1356
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: Sweeny Todd besides the movie, and it's like completely ruined

1357
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: it for me. And I don't send you the link,

1358
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 1: um send me the link because you know because now

1359
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:22,919
Speaker 1: because now they're putting up all like the original productions

1360
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 1: on YouTube and you can watch the whole thing. One.

1361
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: I've been one day just like getting Stone and watching

1362
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: all of Sunday in the Park, like Bernadette Man was

1363
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: the best. I've seen so many bootleg Broadway shows on YouTube,

1364
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 1: which is like a sign of like true obsession. Is

1365
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: like me and like one of my best friends from

1366
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: school would just watch like Wicked taped on a cam

1367
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 1: quarter in the back row and you just like see

1368
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:50,759
Speaker 1: half of someone's head in it, and I just craved

1369
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,719
Speaker 1: it so much I had to watch it. There's also

1370
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 1: me and my roommate for there's like a two hour

1371
01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: super cut of everyone who's played Alphaba. I was just

1372
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: and I from The Wizard and I, and it is

1373
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 1: like so funny, but then also genuinely or just like

1374
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:11,600
Speaker 1: that was great. That was That's a great riff. I

1375
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: haven't heard that one before. I have seen every single

1376
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 1: defying gravity performance. Yeah, and there is one single one

1377
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: that is the best. Her name is Brandy Chavon Massey

1378
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: and she she was an understudy who got her moment

1379
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,560
Speaker 1: Darling and she told everyone when she said, She's like,

1380
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: if I'm going on, I will be unforgettable. I don't

1381
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:39,640
Speaker 1: know if it'll be good, I don't know if it

1382
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: will be the single, but it will be unforgettable. Do

1383
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: do it yourself a favor. Listen to the last two

1384
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: minutes of Brandy chevon Massey's only defying gravity. It is full.

1385
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:57,599
Speaker 1: I did not realize you we did so so so

1386
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: the way that you do the last trips. She even

1387
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 1: like she and the lead and the lead to it.

1388
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: It's a wild ride and we are on it. But

1389
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: the least the left that she decided to do instead

1390
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: of was and I was just like, oh my god.

1391
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 1: You hear her throat rip and half honestly, everyone in

1392
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: the audience is dead. Just keep happing to go up.

1393
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: And then once like you could tell all the whole

1394
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: company was like they were just like, oh my god,

1395
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: no one survived, nobody. That is like the end, believe

1396
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: it all out on this thing. She can't possibly have

1397
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 1: done too After that, she has no way. She's singing

1398
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:54,600
Speaker 1: no good day after the experience that was, I'm like

1399
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 1: flop sweating thinking about her doing that. Everyone overwhelmed. Go YouTube.

1400
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: It is a moment in time, a moment in time.

1401
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:08,200
Speaker 1: And also like that's such as it's like trash, but

1402
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 1: Wicked is so clever. I think it's good. I think

1403
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: it's definitely clever. There's definitely like four or five songs

1404
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: when you're like people wonderful. It's wonderful. It's like a

1405
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 1: w n B A thing. People should on it all

1406
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 1: the time. It's a punchling now. But it's it's so

1407
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:27,720
Speaker 1: good first of all, Like I truly think it's such

1408
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 1: a good story of like female friendship. It's like a

1409
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 1: really great not it's like not about the romance really,

1410
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: and I think that's so fun. It's about aspiration. It's

1411
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: I definitely want to play like fat Glenda. That's like

1412
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 1: another one of like my idea. I mean, I won't

1413
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 1: say I'm fat, I'll say that I'm a big Glinda.

1414
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: Glenda was never like wait specific, I know. I just

1415
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: feel like every Glender I've seen has been so tiny.

1416
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 1: Megan has hips and like a five eight, like I

1417
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: broke a chair as I said, I'm just like a

1418
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 1: like a dense woman. And then you want to play

1419
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: you want to play big Jewish Glinda. Yeah, I want

1420
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: to play Jewish Glinda. I think that's a great idea. Okay,

1421
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 1: so we're talking about doing no, we're talking about the

1422
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:16,559
Speaker 1: imaging Wicked and um, you play um Alphabet in act

1423
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: one and I do Alphabet in act two, and we

1424
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 1: switch roles, so we do Glinda Alphabet. I don't like that.

1425
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's too You're like, it's like,

1426
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a weekend of shows and then one

1427
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: night we would play one during Yeah, I don't I

1428
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: don't like that, and I don't like that, and I

1429
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 1: won't do that. I should switch off mid scene, Like,

1430
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 1: I think you need to start like playing with it.

1431
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: We're like, but I also obviously want the two alphabets

1432
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,600
Speaker 1: to like get in a fight. Yeah, you want the

1433
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,560
Speaker 1: whole show to breakdown and become about it behind the

1434
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: scenes melt down. Yes, yeah, I love that. Okay, before

1435
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: we go on to constructed Wicket, deconstructed Wicket, Before we

1436
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,719
Speaker 1: move on, what did you think of Angels? That is amazing?

1437
01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:00,040
Speaker 1: I did? This is like my I had heard a

1438
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: lot of amazing things about Andrew Garfield, who I did

1439
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: not like. My hot take is like, why is he

1440
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: doing what I felt like was a caricature. It's like

1441
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 1: that was just my personal reaction. Is I felt like

1442
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: I was watching him doing this character and being like,

1443
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: I'm Andrew Garfield and look at how much I'm putting

1444
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: myself through to play Prior Walter, the guy who played Louis,

1445
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 1: who I had never seen before, and it turns out

1446
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 1: is like a Scottish guy playing a flawless like Jewish

1447
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: nebishy guy was unbelievable. I kept thinking that he was

1448
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,639
Speaker 1: forgetting his lines because he was so natural on stage.

1449
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,720
Speaker 1: And also like, I am not a good actor. I'm

1450
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: a good web series actor. I'm a good I think

1451
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: like theater comedy actor. I'm not like someone who has

1452
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: figured out what all the lines mean. Like I thought

1453
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: of going over a script and being like, what is

1454
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: this person trying to say? I'm like, no, say a joke.

1455
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 1: But so when I see actual good acting, I'm like

1456
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 1: so blown away by it. And also just seeing ten

1457
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: hours of theater is like, oh my god. Like literally

1458
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: I went to New York red Eye, got in Saturday,

1459
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 1: saw ten hours of theater and left on Sunday, and

1460
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 1: it was like so soothing and you don't get that. No,

1461
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: that's a pilgrimage. It's literally like a religious journey. I

1462
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:25,519
Speaker 1: live my brand. Do people usually see it in one

1463
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: day or do they do it on two different days?

1464
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:28,920
Speaker 1: People have been doing it, like Josh thought, like did

1465
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 1: the whole one day thing. It's good to do it

1466
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 1: all in one day because it truly like you forget

1467
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 1: about the world. You're just like And also because you're

1468
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 1: watching these actors having memorized too full like four hour plays,

1469
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:47,679
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. I like have a horrible memory. I don't

1470
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: remember how I got to this podcast. I floated here somehow.

1471
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,759
Speaker 1: The thought of like having to memorize that many words,

1472
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: it's crazy, it's very scary. But you were very good

1473
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:01,760
Speaker 1: at memorizing the very real stress script. Yeah yeah, like yeah,

1474
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: for like three minute episodes. I'm really actually very good

1475
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 1: at memorize. But the scripts, I mean, I wrote the scripts,

1476
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 1: so I think it's easier when when you write the

1477
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 1: scripts out, which is why I always demands to be

1478
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 1: the writer an actor on all my projects. Yeah. Absolutely.

1479
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: If I'm ever like lucky enough to book anything, I'll

1480
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 1: just tell them great and I have to go come

1481
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:26,680
Speaker 1: in and just quickly rewrite the whole script and just

1482
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 1: be easier for me to memorize of um wow, this

1483
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 1: I literally I literally could go on for many hours hours.

1484
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 1: But then here's the good news if you and it's

Speaker 1: do you have something I do and it's not necessarily

1511
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 1: figured out, but I feel like I could talk a

1512
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 1: lot too. I am. I'm on the same boat. But

1513
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: let's do you want to start first? First? This is

1514
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 1: Matt Rodgers. I don't think when his time starts now,

1515
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:05,759
Speaker 1: I don't think, so honey. John Jacob jingle Heimer Schmidt's song. Okay,

1516
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 1: So let's just briefly go through with This is John

1517
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: Jacob jingle Heimer Schman. His name is my name too.

1518
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: Whenever we go out that people always shout they say

1519
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 1: John Jacob jingle Heimershman naa na na Okay. First of all,

1520
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: who named their kid this? Second of all, very unlikely.

1521
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't think, so honey, that someone else has that name.

1522
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 1: His name is my name too. You're going to run

1523
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:29,439
Speaker 1: into someone with John Jacob jingle Haimer Smith. I think

1524
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:31,560
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of questions about the reality of this.

1525
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:34,640
Speaker 1: This is not a ground to reality. Furthermore, his name

1526
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 1: is my name too. Whenever we go out. So now

1527
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,680
Speaker 1: what what connects you? The fact that your name is

1528
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: is the same things that I hate. I would not

1529
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 1: go hang out with them. Whenever we go out. Apparently

1530
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: it's a lot. People always shout. They say, John, Jacob,

1531
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,679
Speaker 1: Jingle Heimer Schmidt. Now, where the funk do you live?

1532
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: This is a really aggressive area and you need to move.

1533
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 1: I don't think, so, honey, the way you're living your life.

1534
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,639
Speaker 1: Get a better friend with a more dynamic name, that's real,

1535
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 1: and they stop with this toxic energy. And that's one minute.

1536
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 1: I really don't like that song. So I don't like

1537
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: that song. I don't thank you for that service. Um

1538
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 1: you know it's it's an IRA. It's like a pub

1539
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: song though. Yeah, but I don't also don't like pubs.

1540
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. Pubs. I think it's a

1541
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 1: place where everyone goes and drinks. Sure, I mean, just

1542
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 1: by design, let's disgust. Okay, um, all right and his

1543
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 1: time starts now. I don't think so, honey. Motorized scooters

1544
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: in Santa Monica. They're everywhere. And someone told me at

1545
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 1: a general what are you doing after this? I go,

1546
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 1: maybe I'm in Santa Monica. I'll go down to the pier.

1547
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 1: Of course, I have to get a pier, a little pier,

1548
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 1: stroll in and they go, you have to use Bird.

1549
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 1: It's this app. It's the service you rent a motorized scooter.

1550
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:48,360
Speaker 1: They're everywhere. You just hop on one and go and

1551
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: I go, great, that sounds wonderful. And I said, oh,

1552
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: but my family, I we have bad luck with wheeled vehicles,

1553
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: with like you know, things you would have to wear

1554
01:25:56,080 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: a helmet for. Fine, it's safe to do it. I go.

1555
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 1: I figured out, I download the I paid three dollars

1556
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:07,560
Speaker 1: for it, and it was It was truly truly a

1557
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: terrifying experience. I thought I was going to die get

1558
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: hit by a car on Colorado Avenue. It was truly wild.

1559
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 1: I immediately my judgment got the better of me. I said,

1560
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 1: I cannot do this. My grandma, my grandmother got hit

1561
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 1: by a bus in China while she was on a bicycle.

1562
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 1: My mother got by a bus when she wasn't China.

1563
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm not about to get hit on a Bird scooter

1564
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:30,679
Speaker 1: while I'm in Santa Monica. And that's Bird motorized scooter.

1565
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 1: That's also I think. I think there's a real issue

1566
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 1: in America that we are not talking about. And that's

1567
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 1: this thing of allowing everyone to just get on a

1568
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 1: city bike. Everyone just get on a scooter like you guys,

1569
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: These are hard things to drive. Usually need a license,

1570
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 1: Usually need a license. Okay, wow, and now it's time

1571
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:51,680
Speaker 1: for Megan Amy Megan, um, are you ready? Yeah. I

1572
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 1: just want to make sure that no one has no

1573
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 1: I'll just do it. Everyone's really really concerned with like

1574
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 1: making sure that it's something new. It doesn't matter. Okay,

1575
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 1: this is Megan amy Ms. I don't think so, honey.

1576
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,599
Speaker 1: Her time starts now. I don't think so honey. Hello Kitty,

1577
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:06,680
Speaker 1: you white bit. I always said that I loved her.

1578
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: First of all, she doesn't have a fucking mouth like

1579
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: you are. Just being such a passive, aggressive bitch. You're

1580
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 1: not even willing to say what you goddamn think. Also,

1581
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,600
Speaker 1: you are always turned in profile. I think it's like

1582
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: super fucked up. You will not just like look me

1583
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: straight in the eye, white bit. Also a Hello. Kitty's

1584
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 1: name is Kitty White. She's in third grade, and she

1585
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 1: is the size of three apples. I think it is

1586
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,679
Speaker 1: so honestly insane that you're measuring your weight in apple.

1587
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:34,560
Speaker 1: Anyone could be any amount of apples, but give me

1588
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 1: your pounds, because then I will know if you're really fat,

1589
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 1: you bitch. I also just think this is the most

1590
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 1: sucked up thing. Hello Katy has a cat named Charmie Kitty.

1591
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,639
Speaker 1: That is her pet. That is a slave. Hello Kitty

1592
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: has a slave, has a cat as a pet. It

1593
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: looks more like a real cat than she does. And

1594
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: I know that people have tried to say that she's

1595
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,839
Speaker 1: not a cat. She is and she owns another second,

1596
01:27:57,280 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 1: free charming. That's all I have to say, my god,

1597
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:04,519
Speaker 1: free Charmillo Kitty. Okay, so that's one minute. So what

1598
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: you're saying is that Hello Kitty is a white supremacist. No, No,

1599
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 1: she's just and honestly, this, this whole thing is also

1600
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,559
Speaker 1: fucked up because I love Hello and I'm literally wearing

1601
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 1: Hello Kitty socks right now. But I do think she

1602
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 1: needs to just like be real. My sister is going

1603
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:22,920
Speaker 1: to be mortified to hear. She's gonna be relieved here

1604
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 1: you said that you actually love Hello Kitty. I mean

1605
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to show you my socks. Please love Hello.

1606
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait, so you're wearing a sock that's very

1607
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:34,560
Speaker 1: low cut. How do they stay on your feet. I

1608
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 1: can never they don't only make Hello Kitty socks for

1609
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 1: like size eleven women. Look, the San Real universe is

1610
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 1: fucked up. I don't. It's a bit that all the

1611
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 1: creators are like, Hello Katy is not actually cat, She's

1612
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: a person. I think, very honestly, that's like a lost

1613
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 1: in translation, like she is a anthropomorphized catch where she

1614
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:00,920
Speaker 1: is like clearly a girl cat, like she goes to school. Yeah,

1615
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 1: but so she's not like a pet cat. But I

1616
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 1: think it's crazy that she has a pet cat. It's

1617
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 1: like if it's like if Goofy's pet was Pluto, that's

1618
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 1: I think the closest closest analogy. But Mickey's pet is Pluto. Yeah,

1619
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:21,439
Speaker 1: which is like still weird because they're both those are

1620
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,920
Speaker 1: both dogs, Like a dog is fine, yes, but a

1621
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 1: dog owning a dog is crazy. Yes, yes, that's exactly right. Absolutely. Wait, okay,

1622
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,120
Speaker 1: so how do we think Hello Kitty came to be?

1623
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:35,519
Speaker 1: Did a person fuck a cat? They haven't gotten into

1624
01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 1: the origin story yet. I want to make a dark

1625
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 1: like Batman begins Christopher Nolan movie about Hello Kitty, But

1626
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 1: apparently she doesn't have a mouth because they want you

1627
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 1: to be able to put your own emotions onto her.

1628
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 1: I don't like that having her own emotions. That's what

1629
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, don't make Hello Kitty a bla do

1630
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: your work for you. You're made unless you're giving me

1631
01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: a check and last night check. You have to pay

1632
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 1: for Hello you. I think that's one of my favorite

1633
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 1: And also as a Korean American woman, that was that

1634
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:12,240
Speaker 1: you were impowered about this. Japanese Beau said what I said,

1635
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:16,759
Speaker 1: Um wow, what what a thrilling episode. This is very thrillingly.

1636
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 1: This is when I'm a culture. We got into the

1637
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:22,799
Speaker 1: we got into past culture and we got into present culture.

1638
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 1: And we should say again, if you have not watched

1639
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 1: an Emmy for Megan, then you don't get it, and

1640
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 1: that's future culture. It's really no, it's out right now.

1641
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:34,519
Speaker 1: You can watch it right to the website www dot

1642
01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: and Emmy for Megan dot com. I watched it on video.

1643
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 1: Is that okay? That's how I prefer it to be watched.

1644
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 1: Built it by hand, yeah, built it by hand. But

1645
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 1: well there you go, and you can see um guest

1646
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:49,719
Speaker 1: spots from and I'm quoting you, um you that fucking

1647
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:53,639
Speaker 1: bitch Darcy Carden, who kills, which I think is amazing writing.

1648
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 1: And I also I think the best, the best line

1649
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 1: of the whole thing is you should win an Best betrayal.

1650
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,720
Speaker 1: Thank you for froming at the mouth. Amazing you wrote that.

1651
01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:08,439
Speaker 1: And um, I guess because we um we do end

1652
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:12,120
Speaker 1: every episode with the song. Um, I think we know

1653
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:14,080
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Here we go bum bum bum

1654
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 1: bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

1655
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:19,640

1656
01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:28,280
