And Adam was like, 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.640 I'm not bringing shabby pretzels. That's like hundreds and hundreds 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.400 of dollars, Like, we're not doing that. And so I 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.920 ordered all those Caesar My son loves Caesar salads, and 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.040 no one had signed her salads. Ca salads so dumb. 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.760 But I picked up. I just literally got caesar salad 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:22.640 mixing bags, dumped it into both. But then I we're like, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.680 I made a sesar, what did you make? And I 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.280 was like, well, I made the caesar salad, but I 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.560 made the dressing from scratch and I grew the lettuce 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:35.520 in my yard.

Speaking of which, 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.480 can we just talk about and then we should we'll 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.119 do an indro, But can you tell all of our 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.880 listeners what lunch you packed every day at Scandal for 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.560 like a lot of time? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.360 we mentioned it a little bit in one of the 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:27.200 one of the episodes. It was I'm obsessed with canned beats, 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.280 canned beats and green beans, and I would put I mean, 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.959 I put like a can of each in you know 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:35.920 a type of ware thing, and then put oil and vinegar. 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.960 And that's like I was having beats earlier today, Like 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.040 this morning, I had breakfast and I had it. Is 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.880 your poop just like red No, because our toilets are black, 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:52.080 you know, you can't see what's going on. I can. 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.400 So part of me is like, am I dying? Like 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.840 the bood in my school? Is the blood in my 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.600 I know, I can't. We got black toilets, like I mean, 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.000 it's see like a black toilet is fucking I get it. 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.080 A black toilet is there's something that feels naughty and 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:09.000 sexy about it. I like it. But I also take 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.400 I take a big responsibility in like taking a poop 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.640 and then looking at it to see how I'm doing, 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.280 Like have I had enough greens like you're supposed to 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.920 us to be. In the olden days, there was like 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:29.200 poopa mater, Yes, kings and shit In England, there was 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:33.000 someone's job who the king would take a dunch in 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.720 the bidet next in their royal apartment or whatever, and 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.840 then someone a doctor would check the duty and make 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.279 sure that their digestion was like, yeah, it was well. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.880 I bet they didn't have black toilets back then. They 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.560 didn't have both. They didn't have anything that holes in 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.320 the ground. Right, you were the king. I think you 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.799 were pooping in like um like a like a rolling throne. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.320 So weird, I really think so a throne thing like 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.840 a wooden throne. I can't believe you've never eating beats 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.559 and pooped in a toilet to see, Yeah, my toilet 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.920 paper is in black. So that's you know, I'm still guys, 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.880 this is the greatest podcast episode anyone has ever been 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.680 interested in. It all started with beats. Germo used to 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.919 bring his salads and also talking about me not growing 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.960 shit and not being great in the kitchen. Darby would 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:29.840 make the most incredible salads. Yes, at Scandal with shit. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.400 She actually grew with kumpquats. Was the first time that 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.440 I was like, oh, you could put umpquats in salad, 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.680 and now I'm obsessed with kumbquats. But she grew all 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.359 that stuff. Yeah, she grew kumquats. She was unbelievable. And 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.960 she would have like half a lemon in one of 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.920 those lemon baggies that when you squeeze it it catches 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.560 the sea. Yeah yeah. And then she would have like 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.680 some cut up tofu and just like deliciousness. And I'm like, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.240 if I had Darby like cooking for me, I would 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.159 eat like that all the time. Oh hell yeah. And 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.359 she loves it too. She's so good at its stuff 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.400 good at it which is funny because I think we 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.080 haven't gotten there yet. But when we get into the 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:10.440 flashback episodes, when Abby you see her in the past, 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.280 when she was sort of like a Susie homemaker, like 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.240 baking and stuff like that. Darby actually has a quality 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.640 of that. Oh. Absolutely, she's a very good cook. She's 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.080 a very good baker. She's very comfortable in a kitchen 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.640 like I would be. That is not my thing. During 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.440 the pandemic, she did a bunch of videos of her 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:33.400 teaching how to cut grapefruits up, like in different different ways, 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.120 different creative ways to cut grapefruit. And it was the 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:40.040 most mesmerizing thing I'd ever seen. I was like mesmerizing 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:45.520 and her laugh breakdown. Yes, yes, videos, she's the most infectious. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.640 I love her. Like when she's laughing and having like 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.400 a mental breakdown thinking something so funny, I'm I, Oh, 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.479 it's the best. I think it's because she's just so pretty. 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.560 She's so beautiful. That's that's part of it. But yeah, 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.480 she's it's just so fun to watch her. Yes, she's 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.960 so magical. She's also redhead that has the most like 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.599 she just looks like a unicorn talking about like people 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.039 who we g and I have talked about on the podcast, 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.840 like you can't hide from anywhere. I'm fine. I can't 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:16.080 imagine walking through life as Darby with that fire engine. Yeah, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.320 she's read. Yeah, she's so good about going incognito though, 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.240 you know what I mean, because she also want to 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:27.080 hat like, Yeah, she's so good about it.

Wow, I have a I feel 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:11.400 like Roxanne Dawson was around in this episode. I remember her. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.280 I feel like, well, we'll talk about it. But in 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.520 the diner scene with Huck and Charlie, I remember rocks 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.679 An directing us in that scene.

I wonder if he 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.920 wasn't a that which would happen sometimes. Well, she was 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.040 our producing director this season, so I don't know, but 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.440 I remember coming on the plane crash, Harrison and Quinn 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.240 are like walking down this like hill.

Like that's when 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.000 I remember being like, my god, like this show has 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.120 like a budget. Like I came upon this field where 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.320 there's like a blown up plane and there's like fake 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.200 body parts everywhere and all of these flags, and I 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.720 couldn't I couldn't remember Katie was that plane? Actually there 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:08.160 was scgid in I couldn't remember. Actually, yes, wow, I 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:14.040 think in my memory it is right, right, I think correct. 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.400 I could be wrong, but like maybe at the Disney 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:20.880 Ranch that's like in stock there. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.439 kind of like at Universal Studios. Yeah, like I think 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.760 that might be like sets that are there. I have 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.440 no idea. I have a memory of Roxanne saying to me, 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.679 and me being so upset, don't have your mouth a 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.600 gape like that again when you come when you come 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.320 upon the plane crash, because Quinn just does that all 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.440 the time. I love you when you had your mouth agape. 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.240 Thanks gee. Now I look back and I'm like, fuck, 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.079 she was right. I should have taken that note. Quinn 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:51.120 does that way too much and I need to grow up, Like, yeah, 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.240 but that's her too, you know what I mean. Yeah, 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.200 I shouldn't have been doing it. I should have taken 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.040 the note and I didn't, And I remember her giving 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.199 me the note and me being like kind of upset 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.640 and for once thinking like, first of all, I'd never 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.200 been in a series regular on the show before, so 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.079 it had never occurred to me like, oh, like you 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.720 should think about your character in relation to like all 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.800 the other episodes and like the character you're building. I didn't. 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.920 I was like from the Guest Star World like the same. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.360 I was like, oh, I just was treating each story 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.839 like in it of itself, like I wasn't. Really I 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.960 would never be like, oh, well, in the last episode, 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.400 I had my mouth agape at Amanda Tanner's door, and 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.640 then the first episode, I had my mouth agape when 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.000 I when Quinn was when Olivia was berating her on 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:34.880 the shit, I had my mouth. I gave way too much. 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.600 But also like, as an actor, you don't want to 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.160 think about you know what I mean. You're in the 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.719 in the moment of the scene, so you're not you 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.000 can't remember you're not I'm not thinking like, oh, I 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.280 did this with my eyes and this scene, so I 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.240 shouldn't do it in this one. And you know you 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.760 shouldn't be thinking about that too much. But right, listen, 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.120 you you felt like it was a thing. But watching 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.400 the episode your mouth, you were like, that's the fourth 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.000 time Quinn has had a mouth. The gate was very 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.559 appropriate for me. Well, thank you, since you are the 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.040 best acting ever, I'll take that. Then I wrote in 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:13.199 my notes, we fucking meet Charlie. Oh, yes, this is 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.960 the introduction to Charlie. Yeah, like you see, Yes, you're 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.280 eating the sandwich, which, by the way, do you remember that? Listen, bitch, 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.720 let me tell you something. I wrote a whole page 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:28.680 on eating moments. It literally says eating moments, Katie. I'm 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.680 not even kidding. I wrote my first question. My first 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:37.080 question is why huck Finn? Second question? What sandwich were 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.440 you eating when you saw Charlie? Don't get me started. 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:44.560 Do you remember what it was? Yes, of course I do. Okay, 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.080 tell me about eating moments. It was on Holy Toast 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.080 and it was lettuce, tomato, and mustard, and it was 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.880 a turkey sandwich. I'm pretty sure there was Swiss cheese 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.080 on it as well. But the great thing about our 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.240 props team was Jeff Props and George. I mean, we 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.000 love them so much the best, but they when you 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.120 would have an eating scene, they would go up to 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.600 you the day before, or usually the day before a 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.760 couple of days before that. They knew that scene was 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.320 coming up, and they'd be like, what do you want 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:09.960 to eat? If it was in the script that it 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.840 was a sandwich, they'd be like, what kind of sandwich 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.960 do you want? Once I had to eat a fucking 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.920 cheeseburger when I had a scene with Joe Morton, and 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.240 all I could think about was shooting that scene and 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:23.280 getting to eat that cheeseburger. And then I'm not even 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.520 look how excited I am. This is crazy. But the 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.000 thing about shooting a show like this is they make 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.960 several several of the sandwiches or the burgers, or they 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.280 buy them because you know you have to do several takes. 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.440 So all I would think in my head was I'm 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.120 going to get to take the rest of them home, 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.440 or I would get pissed if somebody else was like 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.320 can I get that? I was like, excuse me, Giermo, 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:50.280 you are it looked delicious. And then for the Half 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.160 Baked fans, I don't know if you can tell a 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.680 little salute to Half Baked. They put Funnians on my plate, 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.200 and Funnians is a big thing on Half Baked. When 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.760 Kenny is you know, going through the list of things 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.960 and at the end someone says funnyans. Don't forget the 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.720 Funnians or something like that. Did you on purpose pick 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.640 Funnians or did they just happen to put the Funnians 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.880 on there. I remember us talking about it and saying 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.520 how funny it would be if we put Funnians on 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.760 the plate because it was a little sort of wink 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:21.600 to Half Baked. Was George props or Jeff Props? Did 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.960 they were they like half Baked fans to know that 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:28.000 Jeff was Yeah Jeff, Jeff for sure, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.840 he's the best. But yes, and so eating is always 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.200 you know, I think that certain actors are super scared 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.160 or they're nervous when they have to eat in a 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:38.960 scene because you know, people don't want to eat and 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.600 getting fat. But um Well or Tony and Scott, I'm sure, 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.280 but they never eat on the show. The only thing 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:50.000 they ate was Olivia, sorry out, No, keep it in, honey, 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.960 keep it in. But anyway, eating. But then there are 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.720 some actors who swear by it and think that it 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.920 makes you the best actor ever. Like, yeah, I think 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.680 that I've heard for years that, like, if you go 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.680 back into like all of Brad Pitt's performances, he's almost 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.800 never doing an entrance without eating something. Really, he eats 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.600 in most his scenes. Yeah, because there are very few 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:17.080 things that you can do as an actor where you 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.199 can't fake it. You cannot fake eating eat you have 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.399 to act. People do it, but actors do it, and 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.680 bad eating on in a film or on a TV 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.560 show is the worst Gilmore Girls, I love the show 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.280 The worst fucking eaters in the world. To go back 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:39.480 and in their coffee cups are like you know, oh no, no, 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.040 like there's nothing in them, Like it's the worst. They 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.160 never take a bite. If they do, it's like, oh, 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.280 it's so. Any actor is listening to this podcast if 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.600 you want to consider yourself legit, Yeah, you gotta fucking 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.680 eat in the sit because it also does make you 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.160 a better actor. You can't fake well, you can't fake eating, 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:02.760 but you shouldn't smoking cigarettes. Ye can't feed, so like 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:06.000 those are the moments where they're kind of like actor gifts. Also, 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:10.600 like acting with a baby, like you can't really like 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.119 you have to actually like be there because it truly 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.919 is like you don't know what's gonna happen. Yeah. Um, 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:19.080 I remember my first like major family eating scene with 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.960 on this other show. I was on my first series 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.119 regular run. I was twenty five. Lorie metcalf, who's like 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.440 everyone thinks she's an incredible actress, myself included. We had 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.520 these family like Sunday night dinner scenes that would take forever, 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.000 and they would go around and around and around and 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.280 shoot everybody's point of view and everyone was eating and 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.080 Lorie meccalf would eat the shit out of her food 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.440 really and I would be like, this woman's good. Yeah, 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.120 she's a great ash. She's on Big Bank. Hey, she's 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.080 a great eater. They're always eating on that show. And 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:49.320 she's eat an eater and she's talking while she's eating, 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.560 which is what Brad Pitt does too. He's talking with 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.720 the full mouth, he's talking with like wiping his mouth 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.480 with the napkin. He's talking while he's taking SIPs of 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.920 whatever drink is being served, and like that makes you good, 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.280 I think, Yeah, I agree, I agree. Okay, so then 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:10.960 you see Charlie, who was cast crazily when we see 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.399 him for a blip while you're hacking to see that 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.199 he was caught on a traffic cam. Yeah, it's the 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.959 first time we're seeing this character, Charlie, who's played by 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:23.680 fucking George Newburn, who's the dad from Father of the Bride. Yeah, wait, 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.200 he's the dad. He's the dad, or he's the groom. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.719 He's the groom, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Now he's a dad. 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.240 He's a dad. Now, he's a dad. He Now he 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.280 would get cast as the dad now, but at the 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.800 time he was the groom, George, and he was also 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:42.720 the boyfriend in Adventures in Babysit. Yes, yes, And George 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:44.600 told me a story once I bet you were there 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.679 that he was super close to getting the role of 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:51.360 Marty McFly in Back to the Future, screen tested against 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:55.520 Michael fucking Jay. They flew him out. He was going 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.080 to Northwestern at the time. He was a drama major. 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.199 He was auditioning and the he flew him in and 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:05.160 he screen tested against Michael J. Fox. How amazing is that? 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:09.199 Can you imagine that? Yeah? I mean anyway, I just 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:12.000 think the casting choice on that oh so good. And 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:15.159 he did not know none of us knew, the writers 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.480 know that that Charlie would be what Charlie became. But 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.439 I love that they cast against type, you know what 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.399 I mean. They didn't cast like some sort of goon 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:27.760 looking guy that you're like, oh, he's a bad guy. 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:34.560 Bad guy looks like the loveliest, like kindest just yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:38.359 ead sitcom dad you've ever seen in your life nineties Like, 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:43.440 he's just so like I mean, he's from Arkansas. Go 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:48.320 get a snack and we'll be right back. Can I 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:51.199 just say really quickly? I love in this scene is 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.840 one of the first times, maybe it's this second or 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:55.720 third time that we've seen it on on in the 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:59.560 first season, but that that Mike Huck's computer becomes the camera. 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.840 So they would take away my computer, like this is 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:04.600 us on set getting ready to shoot the scene, and 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.840 they would put a camera right in dead in my face, 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.679 and I would have to look into the camera and 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:14.320 pretend I was typing, and that was so much fun. 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:17.520 I love doing that. They would call it Huck Cam. 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.680 It was called cam yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So then 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:24.560 later on in post they would superimpose like the green 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:30.080 like numbers and like computer typing letters going over Guarmo's face. 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:32.040 But I had to be in Huck cam all the 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.440 time too, like just kind of crouched down next to you, 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.200 and we're both looking like dead into the camera as 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:40.520 you're like fatly pretending to hit keys and Huck's I 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:43.320 feel like we all loved being in Huck's office. It 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:46.680 was such a special set, right, it was so unique 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:50.280 and industrial and and just a lot of wires and 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:55.119 growing things. Was he had a fucking grow a grow house, 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.199 a little grow house in the back. Yeah. Towards like 0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:00.199
