There's 170 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: a restaurant there um that before it was trendy, had 171 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: a thing where you could buy a six pack for 172 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: the kitchen on the menu. That's amazing. And I was like, 173 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: do these people know Paul Johansson? What's going on here? 174 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: I just it. Every time I see someone be so 175 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: generous with people that way, I always think of you. Well, 176 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: you painted very sweet picture of me. It's it's gonna 177 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: be hard to live up to that. It's accurate, but 178 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: you can't see yourself, but we see you very well. 179 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: It's true. It's all that experience, you know, has given 180 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: you such a breath and an ability to um tap 181 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: into the vast amount of human experience, which you really 182 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: brought to Dan. And one of the great things about 183 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: Dan is that, I meanably, arguably he was the most 184 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: um the character with the largest trajectory on the Show 185 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: of Change, and um, I mean, I think all the 186 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: layers that you brought to him. It could have just 187 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: been one note, but instead he became an iconic character 188 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: that ended up having this great story of redemption by 189 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: the end, and it took nine seasons to get there. Um, 190 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: but let's start at the beginning because we don't have 191 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, what was your team drama experience, because you 192 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: worked on shows like ours in the nineties, Well, I 193 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: think that you know, the closest resemblance was Nano two 194 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: and No, which was in its day massive, I mean scandalous. Yes, yeah, 195 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: built the TV studio for Fox. It really did. I 196 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: mean it was it was the you know that really 197 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: started it all off of them. But you know, um, 198 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: I remember going places with Jason and when Jason hosted 199 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: Said Night Live and when Luke was hosting you know shows, 200 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: and they were and the amount of fans and show 201 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: you know pre you know, um uh social media. You know, 202 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: it was about being there and experience it and they 203 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: have their phones all up. They were like engaging and 204 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: it was really really kind of phenomenal to what you 205 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: guys imagine being in a club and seeing Paul, Jason 206 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: Briesley and Luke Perry walk in like I wouldn't even 207 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: if they were famous, like that man, good looking men 208 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: in one space, like a great time falling over. I mean, 209 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: you know, honestly, I wish I could if I could 210 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: do one thing with one Tory Hill, I wish I 211 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: could go back and have more awareness of myself as 212 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: like my because you know, we we had so little 213 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: off time. We worked more on that show. We were 214 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: there so much. I wish that I would have spent 215 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: more time kind of productive in my off time. You know, 216 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: I was going to have a life with you guys, 217 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: and I was fifteen years older than you guys. I 218 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: was trying to have a life, trying to find my 219 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: place in the same you know, where I'm you know, 220 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: like you guys. I you know, I often don't feel 221 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: um like I have a place, and so I try 222 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: to create one. And so the people who became my 223 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: friends were you guys. Even though we were so much 224 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: fren age. It was kind of remarkable to watch you 225 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: guys go through so many things I've seen Jason go 226 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: through with Luke or or Shannon or any of those 227 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: guys had gone through um and it was amazing to 228 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: see how different you guys had a bit than they 229 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: they were in Hollywood growing up and you were in Wilmington. 230 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: We probably dodged a bullet. I think so too. You mean, 231 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: you guys are assaulted the kind of people, and so 232 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: were they, and I think, but I think the mechanics 233 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: of the industry are hard, you know, and they take 234 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: a lot out of me. So maybe that distance was 235 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: in a weird way. What made it kind of a 236 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: special experience for me? You know, can you tell us 237 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: how you got the part? Like, wow, yeah, I think 238 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: Brian Robbins gave it to me. I played basketball with 239 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: Brian and James Lafferty in this entertainment league, the basketball League. 240 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: You guys knew each other before I play did a 241 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: few games. He hated me. He was like, I was 242 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: cocky and I just finished playing and so I was like, wait, 243 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: who James, Well, everybody kind of okay. I mean George 244 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: Clooney threw the ball at my head. I mean people 245 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: didn't know that's the name of your memoir, Paul, George 246 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: Clooney threw the ball at my head. Yeah. I actually 247 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: like George quite a bit. I just I just remember 248 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: that I was I was the cocky guy that was 249 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: actually a real basketball player. It was my dream to 250 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: be in the NBA. I had some shots at it, 251 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: had some pro shots to play, and this guy called 252 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: me from Hollywood and at the right time and pulled 253 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: me away from that. Um so I was really, really, 254 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: really good. You know, I had a very beast one 255 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: fifteen years so, I mean, my dad, now, it's a 256 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: completely different game you can play. It's getting to school 257 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: one time morning. Yeah you know which is or as 258 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: Joy will probably know, but no, but I mean, I 259 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean I think that basketball was was 260 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: my road in and play with James and playing with 261 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: m Brian Robins. To get back to the question, I 262 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: think Brian saw that I was super competitive and inside 263 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: of me is that sort of like that that Michael 264 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: Jordan thing where nobody likes them, but they'll want them 265 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: on their team winner. And that's how I was as 266 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: an athlete. And it doesn't translate well to life, well 267 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: to sports because acting, you know, it's it's about being 268 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: open to receive and then being brave enough to give 269 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: that vulnerable part of yourself that you keep secret to 270 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: yourself from you're loaning your house and you're crying over 271 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: that nobody will understand, and that's going, Okay, here's what 272 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: I got. You know, are you gonna take it? If 273 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: they don't take it? You know, you're not gonna have 274 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: a good scene. You know, you're not gonna have a a 275 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: good experience. But I think it's on. Let's let's go 276 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: there and yeah, and that's the the for me. That's 277 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: where I get juiced when i'm acting. Bring it. You know, 278 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: you do direct the way a coach coaches team sports, 279 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: where it's like you need to show up for your teammates, 280 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: like I've heard you have that conversation before and like 281 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: yelling from the sidelines. God, I never thought about it 282 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: until just now, but yeah, you're basketball. Coached us through 283 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: all the seasons of wondering and get your hand in 284 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: the game. But was an'n amazing thing too, because for 285 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: you in this sort of parallel path to be a coach, 286 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: but also to have had the beginning you had that 287 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: you told us about, like don't worry about the work, 288 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: just get good. You're so good. You're such a good actor, 289 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: You're such a good storyteller. So to have like one 290 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: of the best actors and storytellers and scene partners you've 291 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: ever worked with also be a team sport guy, like 292 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: I no wonder every time you were directing us, we 293 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: were like, this is the best episode of the year 294 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: the best. It was always such a relief when we 295 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: knew you were directing. Well. The scene that stands out 296 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: for me, the one scene from One Tree Hill I 297 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: have on my reel is the scene that you directed 298 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: of when Brooke and Payton get into the physical altercation 299 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: in on the front Lawn. You directed that scene. That's 300 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: the time that Sophia skull got cracked. We accidentally headbutted, 301 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: but the scene turned up. That's the basketball coaching him. 302 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: He's like, walk it off good. You guys got was that? Guys? 303 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: That looked really real and we were both on the 304 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: floor by out face. But that scene to me is 305 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: my favorite scene of probably the whole series, because we 306 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: were doing real work and we were tapping into all 307 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: the insecurities we had, all of the things that were real. 308 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: You were You were encouraging us to use the real 309 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: things to tell a powerful story for our audience. And 310 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: you guys brought it. Because one is the most important 311 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: thing is in anything sports or acting or anything, you 312 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: were prepared. You didn't show up going what am I 313 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: doing today? To me, that drives me nuts. I go, wait, 314 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: what do you mean? What are we doing today? Like 315 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: you have this fantastic. Like blueprint, it's called a script today. 316 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: If you read it, it's really informative. You guys showed 317 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: up and you knew your lines, which is for me, 318 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: it's like that's just playing elbow grease and hard work 319 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: and there's no there's acting. I don't care who you 320 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: are because I let me look again. Anecdotally another story 321 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: Joyce heard a thousand times. I was really close to 322 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: what I think is one of the greatest improv actors 323 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: of all time, Robert Downey Jr. Yeah, a little bit. 324 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time study and preparing him 325 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: for Chaplin. Uh. He was very, very dear, and we 326 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: had a lot of a lot of time together, you know, 327 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: in in in the world of preparing for screen tests, auditions, 328 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: and he learned everybody's lines and his in the whole forwards, 329 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: he learned backwards, and then he never said them. He 330 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: knew that he developed the character so well that when 331 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: he got to the set, the character took over. So 332 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: not that I think we needed to go back for 333 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: our In television, we don't have that kind of luxury 334 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: to take fifty five takes or hundred takes, take three 335 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: or four, and we take the best one, but to 336 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: get the best three or four, you've got to show 337 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: up ready to go to work, man, no joke, you know, 338 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: And it's not.

But you know, 353 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: in the beginning, you're saying that it was sort of 354 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: something that could be viewed as a negative, a hyper 355 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: competitive streak in you that identified to our producer that 356 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: guy would be really good for Dan Scott, and then 357 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: you're talking about how you have to show up and 358 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: literally put your heart on the line, even when you're 359 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: playing a bad guy, even when you're you know, hand raised, 360 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: even when you're playing a confident girl. You really have 361 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: to be willing to kind of crack your chest open 362 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: and see what comes out. And so, how did you, 363 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: in the beginning of our show figure out how to 364 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: play this guy? Because Joyce said it, Dan could have 365 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: been so one note, you could whiplash, you could have 366 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: just been like a stereotypical bad guy, and you did 367 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: a thing that really got us, and it gets us 368 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: every week. Every week we watched the show and we're like, God, 369 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: damn it, he's good. How did you carry your whole 370 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: heart and your capacity for vulnerability and you're like hyper 371 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: competitive Olympic guy. How does that fit in one box? 372 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: How do you do that? It's a sensational question, and 373 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm really grateful that you thought to ask me that 374 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: because it's it's it's so important to me because of 375 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: our fans. Who's mad they made this podcast like the 376 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: number one podcast because they're so loyal and they love 377 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: you know, you know, they love you guys, and they 378 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: love the show, and they deserve these kinds of questions, 379 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: So thank you for that question. That's the right way 380 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: to honor the work that we've done is to ask 381 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: those questions, you know what I mean. So I'm I'd 382 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: love to humbly how to explain it in the way 383 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: that I've always tried to explain this two two people 384 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: when when I get in that area, it's just, you know, 385 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: Dan was a narcissist. But the truth about narcissists that 386 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: they're broken, They're not there. They play out their Their 387 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: biggest fear is to be called out or to be humiliated. 388 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: To be humiliated or shamed is like execution for them. 389 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: So for Dan, he was so so proud and so 390 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: so put together an external level in this erstand clearly 391 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: aesthetic value that he puts out there for the world 392 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: to see, but he is broken on the side. Remember 393 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: listening to your podcast to sort of prepare for this conversation, 394 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: who are we talking about, Paul? What were we saying? 395 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: And and and and just and things fire to my 396 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: heads and we're talking about you're talking about Jerold McCraney. 397 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: That's those scenes with him. Although I was really really sick, 398 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm prepared to go into that to show why I 399 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: was broken in that episode. But you got the opportunity 400 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: because Paul, you were perfect in that episode. You were 401 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: like a broken kid, and I know you were sweating 402 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: because you were sick, but you used it that moment 403 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: when Deb what was going on? Somebody Deb was saying 404 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: something to you and you looked at her like, dude, 405 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: stop it, that's looking. Yeah, you were instantly a teenager, 406 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: fourteen year old boy. I don't remember what the conversation was, 407 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: but I remember we all commented on that stage exactly 408 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: that is it is it is. It's usually from parents. 409 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: Narcissism comes from narcissistic parents. And then and what they 410 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: do is they do all the you know, the loading 411 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: and the self hatred, all this stuff. So in my mind, 412 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: the way that I wanted to play down the way 413 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: they wanted to find that value. And by the way, 414 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: and you can't have this conversation without giving credit to 415 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: the writing staff because they are wanted are getting, you know, 416 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: the great portunities for you to find these moments. So 417 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: I really always throw the throw that up to the 418 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: right stuff. Because they described they understood Dan in a 419 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: way that seemed there was an ease there, you know. 420 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: And maybe that's because Dan was an adult and like 421 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: having to remember what it's like to be a teenager 422 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: is hard sometimes, but clearly someone understood Dan Scott on 423 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: like a visceral level. I'm not touching that. You go 424 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: back to you keep going back to you. That's what 425 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: character's interesting. And I will say just to just to 426 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: finish that, you know that. The point that I feel 427 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: about that is that no, no, truly you know, um 428 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 1: powerful and interesting, um sort of uh. I wouldn't call 429 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: him a villain, was in the villain. Dan's biggest secret, 430 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: which I will revie, is that he deeply loved both 431 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: Lucas and Nathan deeply, like so much that he pretended 432 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: not to. My goal in every scene was to love 433 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: them so much. But I have to be strong and 434 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: don't show them. That's what the that's the conflict in 435 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: me and all those When did you decide that? Really 436 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: early in season one, when I when I wasn't sure 437 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: how to play some scenes and how do I find depth? 438 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: How do I find depth? How do I find a 439 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: deeper value to this guy? I don't just want to play? 440 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: When I went to to to the to the writers 441 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: and I said, guys, I don't know. I mean, I 442 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I should have I would rather 443 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: have been Keith. And no, you don't want to be Keith. 444 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, he's gonna die. But the truth is 445 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: is they said, just trust us, trust us. But I 446 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: wanted to be more than just a bad guy. And 447 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: so the way that I thought would be interesting was 448 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: was to kind of go to that other value and go, 449 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: what is a bad guy really seen as the truth 450 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: is they're really freedom fighters and the countries we call 451 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: terrorists and all these other ideas, it's the opposite. So 452 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: how do I play the opposite value and still be 453 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: the bad guys? Will play? I play deep devotion of 454 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: everything I did was for was for Nathan's future. I 455 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: fought for his future. He doesn't know as I know, 456 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: so I'll take care of it for him. And then 457 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: in that way I crossed over into those boundaries. Yeah, 458 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: I think that's relatable for a lot of parents who 459 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: you know, we some a lot of parents have them. 460 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: The light switch goes on, you know where to set 461 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: the boundary between yourself and your child, And then there 462 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: are parents that don't know where that boundary line is 463 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: and they overstepped consistently because of this broken belief that 464 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: they know better and they don't know how to just 465 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: allow their child to have an independence. And you know, 466 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: you really, you really laid that out quite well. It's 467 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: actually really interesting because I'm realizing that the reason for 468 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: me that when we all watch the show and we 469 00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: have these deep conversations while we're watching episodes, not even 470 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: when we're doing the podcast about Dan Scott, the image 471 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: that came to mind when you were explaining that to 472 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: me was was a fist, and you made a fist 473 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: out of love, but you still hit your kid. And 474 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: that's what I think hurts us all when we watch 475 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: him in these early years is it's like, God, you 476 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: just can't Dan Scott can't stop emotionally punching his kid. 477 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: But the reason that for some reason, we as viewers 478 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: so badly want him to redeem himself, we see something 479 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: in him, is that you didn't play it as just 480 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: a dad who was emotionally abusive to his kid. You 481 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: actually turned something broken in him into like the most 482 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: heartbreaking kind of a generational trauma where you're like, oh no, 483 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: he's doing the exact wrong thing. But that's why we 484 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: see something else in him, because it's motivated by something tender. 485 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: And to be able to hold that kind of complexity 486 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: for a character for how many years? Wow? What did 487 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: it do to your life to play this bad guy? Well, 488 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: like I remember going into the Dixie Grill in Wilmington's 489 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: to get like sloppy eggs, and it was back when 490 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: you could like still smoke inside and drinking coffee, and 491 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: like they had like a little like you know, display 492 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: case at the front of the store and they were 493 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: selling Dan Scott mugs there because you were the iconic 494 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: you know, the guy that you love to hate. Um, 495 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: didn't you live right above them at that point too? 496 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: I loved that apartment. That was a good apartment, closer 497 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: to the wine I could be you know. Um, how 498 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: soon after the show launched did you start feeling, um, 499 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: feeling the feedback of plane Dan Scott. You know, this 500 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: was obviously again before a lot of the social media 501 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: was taking in, but there were some of those forums 502 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: in one that you could read about it, and I 503 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: tried not to. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, So when did 504 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: people start picking on you? I'm glad social media didn't. Well, 505 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: you guys. Know. I mean I I had that one 506 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: experience in New York. I had the girl in first 507 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: in on an airplane. UM move asked the stewards to 508 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,959 Speaker 1: move her because she was sitting across from me, and 509 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: she and she was scared, and and I was like, 510 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, no, no, I'm just like I'm just a 511 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: Canadian guy. It often scares me sometimes that people do 512 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: not have a separation UM Channel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 513 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: we really get that with our show in a way 514 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: that I haven't seen for a lot of other peoples. 515 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: We blurred the line between in fact and fiction numerous times, 516 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: you know, like Haley went out on tour, Joy went 517 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: out on tour, we did the Sun Kissed concerts, We 518 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: did the Sun Kissed concerts. You know, we blurred that 519 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: line so much that I understand why it's confusing for people. 520 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: We've been talking this morning about how, you know, we 521 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: have been critical of our own characters and also critical 522 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: of Lucas's character. Yeah, because what was normal for boy 523 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: behavior in two thousand three, you know, eighteen years later 524 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: is not acceptable behavior. You don't flirt with two girls 525 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: at the same time. You don't gaslight girls like and 526 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: people are really upset because they're like, how could you 527 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: betray Lucas? And I think Dan exemplifies this in a 528 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: really tangible way, because you can have someone who is 529 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: doing something inappropriate and it doesn't make them a terrible person, 530 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't make them beyond redemption. Peyton and Lucas are 531 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: still end game. But if they started off two perfect 532 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: people falling in love and perfectly being together for six years, 533 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: that would be a boring show. And life is messy 534 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: and that's part of just learning how to live your 535 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: life and grow up. Are we not allowed to be 536 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: messy people? Exactly? Are we supposed to be perfect all 537 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: the time? I'm not on board with that, And I 538 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: think this idea of perfectionism is really toxic. And I 539 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: think especially for us as women who have been very 540 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: open about things we've been through, when we see bad 541 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: behavior against women modeled, it's incredibly important to talk about it. 542 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: And duh, the whole point is that we're doing this 543 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: episode by episode. So if by the way, look at 544 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: how critical I've been a Brook, like, good God, the worst, 545 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: I want to be able to say that is not 546 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: acceptable behavior, and then look where she gets to go. 547 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: We know what's coming for Lucas he is to your 548 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: point two timing not just two girls best friends. It's 549 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: not okay at the stage we're at in the podcast 550 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: and the series rewatch, But I think what's cool is that, 551 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: and I think why our show has resonated with people 552 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: is that all of the people, even for their failings, 553 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: even for when they come up short, that character, my character, 554 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: our characters, they learn, they grow, they become better versions 555 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: of themselves. And my hope is that if we hold 556 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: them accountable, ourselves accountable, we can also encourage people to say, hey, 557 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: you're so much more than the worst thing you ever did. 558 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: Maybe you were in a bad stage of your life, 559 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: but look where you could go. You can get your 560 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: happy drive off into the sunset with your hot wife 561 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: and your kids like go after that came well. In 562 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: this episode, Dan is the hero because it's the episode 563 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: where there's the car crash where Keith has been drinking. 564 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: Chad's character is in a lot of trouble with his health, 565 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: and Dan is the one that steps up and says, 566 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: I'm your dad and I'm going to sign off on 567 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: this surgery. And it is the first time we see 568 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: Karen look at Dan's character, perhaps the way she looked 569 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,959 Speaker 1: at him in high school. In high school, I just 570 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: have to say, I know we're talking about this episode, 571 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: but Paul, in that scene in the last episode where 572 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: you look at the doctors and you say, do it, 573 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: I'm his father, the three of us went literally but 574 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: the three of us all went on zoom, all at 575 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: the same time. We gasped. It was so powerful after 576 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: his behavior and and to that place into their conversation 577 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: about motivation behind the character love, you know, which helped 578 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: bring about the redemption in the end of the series. 579 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: So to hear you say that now after we just 580 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: watched that scene, we were so emotionally touched by it. 581 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: But now I feel like I understand it's in a 582 00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: way that I I didn't before. That's beautiful. Something about 583 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: what you said earlier yourself about about this idea of 584 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: like this sort of like the jumping back and forth 585 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 1: with with with um. You know, you talked about Lucas 586 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: is dating two girls, and at the end of the 587 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: episode there's forgiveness everybody, you know, and I think the 588 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: one thing and this is sort of really relevant in 589 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: my life now, but this idea of forgiveness, forgiveness is 590 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: all undervalued nowadays, and it's so undervalued in artistry. It's 591 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: sounder value and taking chances in your life. Yes, mistakes, 592 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: we're going to say dumb jokes, we're going to un 593 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,479 Speaker 1: you know, um, intentionally hurt people's feelings or do bad things. 594 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: But if we truly are looking to to sort of 595 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: move forward and evolved towards a sort of more perfect 596 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,959 Speaker 1: being UM and towards a more perfect being, I think 597 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: this forgiveness factor is is completely way to get that. 598 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely you can't. You can't I have a functional society 599 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: without forgiveness, and you can't have a functioning society without communication. 600 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: Because look, we all, the four of us, we know 601 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: each other well enough. I know when any of you 602 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: is keeping a secret, having a rough day, or you 603 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: need a hug. But you look real professional up on 604 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,919 Speaker 1: stage and a sun kiss event. So for face time 605 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: me the other day and she's like, you seemed real 606 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: fine on that zoom Hillary, what's going on? And I 607 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: was liked, And I think I think we can forget that. 608 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: Not everyone out in the world speaks the same language 609 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: from the same emotional information that we do. And we've 610 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: been talking a lot. The three of us about how 611 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: we wish we'd had the tools when we were twenty 612 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: one to ask each other, Hey, I feel like you 613 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: feel this way about me? Is that true? Or hey 614 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: I heard a thing? Was that real? You know? If 615 00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: we could have just asked? And and I want to 616 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: be very clear, there's there's a line between clearly abhorrent 617 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: and inappropriate and and you know, violent and biased behavior 618 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: and being messy, but also like where people come from culturally, 619 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: senses of humor, senses of humor that come from the 620 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: world of athletics versus from theater schools, they're very different, 621 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: and and being able to communicate and say that felt weird, 622 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: What do you mean? Just let everybody grow together, because 623 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 1: someone then might say, oh, h well, my friends and 624 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: I used to make this joke all the time. And 625 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: then the person in the room who's new could go, ah, yeah, 626 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: I had someone make fun of me for that once, 627 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: and and you go, oh, God, like, tell me more, 628 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: and then you bond. At the point right there is 629 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,959 Speaker 1: when someone's intent is to grow and learn, They're going 630 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 1: to fumble along the way to grow and learn. So 631 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: would they go, hey, I feel like I might have 632 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: like of stuff right there gosh, I hope you understand 633 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: I didn't mean that, and and and then go thank 634 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: you for saying that you go with me? And that's 635 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: how I'm with you? Are you are? Paul? Can I 636 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: tell a story. This is a story about you, and 637 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: it is a thing that I have like carried deep 638 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: in my heart. I don't even know if we've talked 639 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: about that. There was a day that you and I 640 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: and I genuinely, I'm going to be really honest, I 641 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: don't remember if we were in New York for press 642 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: or if we were just on the street in Wilmington's, 643 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 1: but we would go out a lot, and it was daytime. 644 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: I remember because because I was shocked by the behavior 645 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: in the light of day, and you and I were 646 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: walking down the street and your airplane story made me 647 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: think of this. A lady past us and went you. 648 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: She gasped and we both looked, and it was like 649 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: something took over her body. And I'll never forget. She 650 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: had one of those like you know, Kate's bade bags 651 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 1: with the straps, and she went h and as she 652 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 1: was scoffing at you, she pulled her bag off her shoulder, 653 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: and it was a bag with a zip top so 654 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: she could swing it. And she started swinging her bag 655 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: and hitting you over and over and she literally went, 656 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: you are such a bad dad.

You you, 662 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,720 Speaker 1: you looked so shocked. I saw the hurt on your face. 663 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: And then as she kept smacking you, I watched you 664 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: have a thought, take a deep breath, stand up a 665 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 1: little taller, and you literally you gave this woman who 666 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: watched our show what she wanted because she thought of 667 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: you as Dan Scott. And you made a choice and 668 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: you leaned in and you said, yeah, I am a 669 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:16,879 Speaker 1: bad dad, and you winked at her, and she all 670 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the spell was broken, and she started laughing. 671 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: And then she patted you on the forearm and said, oh, 672 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 1: you're just so good. And then she watched to watch 673 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: and you, guys, it was the wildest thing. Because I 674 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: watched a person assault our friend. I think it was 675 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:39,720 Speaker 1: okay because he was a big, physically big man. And 676 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: and then you. I saw how much it hurt you 677 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: and how quickly you decided to be kind to her 678 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 1: instead of to be honest about how you felt. And 679 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: you and you made it into this moment. And I 680 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: bet that woman I told that story for eighteen years. 681 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: Oh he's so sexy. Oh you what he said to me? 682 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: He said, Oh, I am a bad dad baby like 683 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm you know, And I've never forgotten it. And it 684 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 1: it made me always see you and the way that 685 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: you could see what people needed and give it to them, 686 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: whether it was a hug or like you put on 687 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: the Dan Scott hat. You always have been willing to 688 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: give people the thing that you can see they're aiming for. 689 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: And and it it is to me a signal of 690 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: such intuition and empathy. And I think it's very rare. 691 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: And I don't think it's a thing people know about 692 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 1: the hot dad from TV who's real good at basketball. 693 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: Daddy I talk about you is a bad husband.
