Speaker 1: Hello, gorgeous, welcome to the Give Them La La Podcast.
Speaker 1: We had an intro and there was some technical difficulties
Speaker 1: and once we sent them over to our producer, the
Speaker 1: file was like nowhere to be heard. So here's the alternative.
Speaker 1: I'm literally sitting in Ocean's nursery giving you guys this intro.
Speaker 1: We have Jesse Metcalf on the podcast today, and I
Speaker 1: cannot be the only person that was obsessed with Desperate Housewives.
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of you guys were also obsessed,
Speaker 1: and you can also stream it now, so I'm sure
Speaker 1: that a lot of you, like myself, are going back
Speaker 1: and rewatching. It was like every Sunday night was Desperate
Speaker 1: Housewives and then Gray's Anatomy. It was just like what
Speaker 1: you did on Sunday. So we have him on the
Speaker 1: podcast today. We're going to pick his brain. I have
Speaker 1: a few questions for him, and we're going to skip
Speaker 1: vander Talk today because I slacked. I did not watch
Speaker 1: last night's episode. But hopefully next week we can recap
Speaker 1: two episodes in one I think that that would be
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, and I also really want to
Speaker 1: answer your guys' question, so please remember to call in
Speaker 1: call into the podcast. That number is eight six six
Speaker 1: La La Pod again, eight six six La La Pod.
Speaker 1: I always love hearing from you guys, answering whatever questions
Speaker 1: you have, and it just makes me feel like we're
Speaker 1: in a more intimate setting. The whole reason I started
Speaker 1: this podcast was so that we all could feel this
Speaker 1: like connection and bond and we could get closer to
Speaker 1: each other. So please reach out to me. And without
Speaker 1: further ado, we're going to cut to a quick break
Speaker 1: and we will be right back with the heart throb
Speaker 1: Jesse Metcalf. We are back with our epic guest, mister Metcalf.
Speaker 2: Okay, Jesse, that production I am.
Speaker 3: Well, we give Before before you came on, we gave
Speaker 3: you a very very warm welcome about your career and
Speaker 3: how great of a human you are in front of us.
Speaker 2: Wow, so you lied, Thank you. I have to all
Speaker 2: about appearances in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: The number one question I have is do you ever
Speaker 1: talk to Eva Longoria?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: I run into Eva from time to time. We follow
Speaker 2: each other on social media, but we don't really talk. Okay,
Speaker 2: you know she's uh, you know, it's mom life over
Speaker 2: there with Eva right now, and she seems like she's
Speaker 2: an amazing mom, and I mean, I'm so impressed and
Speaker 2: proud of all the things she's done civically, socially, politically.
Speaker 2: You know, they say actors shouldn't shouldn't, you know, get
Speaker 2: involved with politics, and I tend to believe that what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, but you know, I think she's done some
Speaker 2: amazing things.
Speaker 1: I agree. I think politicians should be just that, not
Speaker 1: reality TV stars, not actresses.
Speaker 2: Politicians suck.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So.
Speaker 2: Okay, whatever they want to do, who cares. I don't
Speaker 2: listen to a thing. They say, Well, Jesse, do your
Speaker 2: own thing, so let me. I'm just I'm just a
Speaker 2: pawn in the game.
Speaker 3: You too are, Yeah, So let's just back up the
Speaker 3: tape a little bit here. Just tell us like early
Speaker 3: days of your career, like how you got into you know,
Speaker 3: acting and then the big break and okay, because I've
Speaker 3: we've worked with you both Lalla and I in movies
Speaker 3: and different projects, but just kind of tell fans far
Speaker 3: back you want me to go, and just how you
Speaker 3: got into acting, how it started, and then how you
Speaker 3: got here in your first big break.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I was trying to figure out what I
Speaker 2: wanted to do with my life. As a senior in
Speaker 2: high school, and I really didn't have a whole lot
Speaker 2: of direction, but I loved movies. My father took me
Speaker 2: to a lot of movies growing up when I was
Speaker 2: very young, a lot of inappropriate movies I shouldn't have
Speaker 2: gone to, like, you know, Basic Instinct when I was
Speaker 2: like seven years old. Mom wasn't too happy about that one.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a tough one of.
Speaker 2: Them, exactly. But I had a passion for movies. I
Speaker 2: think I just loved the escapism of it, and you know,
Speaker 2: just getting into another world and into the characters, into
Speaker 2: the stories. And so I thought, Hey, maybe I could
Speaker 2: go to NYU Film School. That shouldn't be too hard
Speaker 2: to get into. Wow wow yeah with no with nothing
Speaker 2: yeah nothing really good looks on my application other than
Speaker 2: my good looks and an essay about The Basketball Diaries,
Speaker 2: which was one of my favorite movie.
Speaker 3: Phenomenal movie that Lala, do you know who is that? No,
Speaker 3: I've never seen you were zero years old when that
Speaker 3: movie became.
Speaker 2: Marky Mark was in it and that was where that
Speaker 2: was when he transitioned from Marky Mark to Mark Wahlberg
Speaker 2: and Leo. Oh this guy can act. Leo obviously crushed it,
Speaker 2: crushed it. It was amazing, great movie. Now it's a
Speaker 2: movie about a New York poet who did a lot
Speaker 2: of drugs addiction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, a side note and then we'll
Speaker 3: come back. But Eric Weinstein, who was he, who's his assistant,
Speaker 3: who now is his partner, met Mark on that movie
Speaker 3: as his coach for drug coaching, like you know, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: for just you know, because he had been a heroin
Speaker 3: you know, former addict. So that's what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would assume you were a pretty big fan
Speaker 2: of that movie as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that movie was phenomenal.
Speaker 2: It really, it really was. So anyway, I managed to
Speaker 2: get into NYU by the skin of my teeth, not
Speaker 2: into Tish. I got into a new program.
Speaker 3: Not into the theater program.
Speaker 2: Into the theater program or the film program. The Gallatin
Speaker 2: School for people that didn't know what they wanted to
Speaker 2: do with their lives.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have a program for people that don't know apparently,
Speaker 3: and it was called the Gallatin School.
Speaker 2: So I did a half a year, two semesters in
Speaker 2: the gallat In School, or I guess a semester. I
Speaker 2: did a semester in the gallas In School. I had
Speaker 2: good grades and I was able to transfer into TISH,
Speaker 2: having already been accepted into NYU Film and Television, not
Speaker 2: you know, not not a not a conservatory, not the
Speaker 2: acting not an acting program. I absolutely loved it.
Speaker 1: I mean it was to send any sort of like
Speaker 1: audition tape to get in.
Speaker 2: You're supposed to send any you know, films you've done,
Speaker 2: short films you've created, which I had none.
Speaker 1: I mean, I should be grateful that you got into
Speaker 1: any program at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with your effort.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're telling me that you just submitted
Speaker 1: an essay.
Speaker 2: On how thirteen eighty on my SAT? What? Yeah, you're
Speaker 2: a lot of pot in high school and apparently I
Speaker 2: had brain cells despair.
Speaker 3: Go figure, Wait a second, you had a thirteen eighty
Speaker 3: out of fifteen fifth that'sixteen. You're smart as fun.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. I never took an SAT. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what good score would be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't even do SATs anymore. They do the acts, and.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the good score on that
Speaker 1: would be.
Speaker 3: Immediately, the good news is you did Okay, I will say.
Speaker 1: I did a movie with you. What was the name
Speaker 1: of it? Again?
Speaker 2: I forgot me too, something hard kill.
Speaker 1: Hard kill. And I've never seen a script like yours.
Speaker 1: There was so much dialogue that you had written as
Speaker 1: far as your character break down, and you're the reason
Speaker 1: I started doing that actually, like going into that much depth.
Speaker 3: Can you let me.
Speaker 1: Look at yours? And I was like, what is this?
Speaker 1: You know, like I had little notes, but yours was
Speaker 1: like what your character for breakfast that morning? And wanted
Speaker 1: I'll do that as well.
Speaker 3: Awesome, like a lot of backstory. Yeah, Jenny's pretty Jesse's
Speaker 3: pretty method. I mean I've been on sets with Jesse.
Speaker 3: He's pretty focused.
Speaker 2: Now, it can't be too method because then people don't
Speaker 2: want to work with it.
Speaker 1: So then after, where are you from? Originally?
Speaker 2: I grew up in Connecticut, Connecticut?
Speaker 1: Okay, so you go to college in New York and
Speaker 1: then when do you make your big move to Hollywood?
Speaker 2: Okay? Well, while I was in college, I was doing
Speaker 2: some male modeling. Oh you're a master male modeling?
Speaker 3: Wow? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know a little seventeen magazine.
Speaker 3: I think we ran into each other in some.
Speaker 2: And I thought, hey, well you know, maybe I can
Speaker 2: do some commercials, right, So they got me a theatrical agent.
Speaker 2: I went on a UPS commercial audition where I dressed
Speaker 2: up like a UPS delivery man, but I wasn't playing
Speaker 2: a UPS delivery man when I got there. I was
Speaker 2: just playing someone who received a package, so that totally
Speaker 2: didn't work. And then they sent me out on an
Speaker 2: open casting call for the infamous daytime television show Passions,
Speaker 2: which I booked.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: So after my junior year in college, did three years
Speaker 2: you know, ninety something thousand dollars at that time, and
Speaker 2: I didn't even graduate. I dropped out, came to Los Angeles,
Speaker 2: and I've been acting ever since.
Speaker 3: Wow. That's a great story.
Speaker 1: So then when did when did my most favorite show
Speaker 1: ever that I grew up watching and I thought you
Speaker 1: were the hottest thing ever. I think I was in
Speaker 1: the seventh grade. Oh wow, Desperate Housewives came out?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well I did five years on Passions on daytime. Okay,
Speaker 2: great training ground.
Speaker 3: How many episodes this season would you do? Is it
Speaker 3: like like fifty six? Is it like every day?
Speaker 2: Like? So five episodes a week?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's that's like fides.
Speaker 2: So it was great training for memorying line memorizing lines,
Speaker 2: but you you would pick up a lot of bad habits.
Speaker 2: You know, because you had to memorize so quickly that
Speaker 2: it wouldn't lend itself to you know, developing your craft, right,
Speaker 2: I don't think. But once I ultimately decided to make
Speaker 2: the jump and see if I could get something better,
Speaker 2: get on the prime time. You know, there was a
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of naysayers. A lot of people
Speaker 2: I worked with were like, what are you going to do?
Speaker 2: And I was like, you know, honestly, I don't care
Speaker 2: if I'm pumping gas next week. I need to do
Speaker 2: something different than this. So you left the show, yeah,
Speaker 2: and it just kind of run its course. And then
Speaker 2: I went through the pass.
Speaker 1: Is like a soap opera?
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, yeah, yeah it is?
Speaker 1: And you were just over it, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, long run.
Speaker 2: I had aspirations I did. I did a whole pilot season,
Speaker 2: my very first full pilot season. It was coming towards
Speaker 2: the end of pilot season and I hadn't gotten anything,
Speaker 2: you know, so I was pretty stressed.
Speaker 1: I was you know, where were you living at this point?
Speaker 1: Do you have one of those stories where it's like
Speaker 1: you lived in a shithole, you were on someone's house.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, this point, I actually owned my first property.
Speaker 2: I owned a condo in West Hollywood. It was like
Speaker 2: it was like Melrose Place in there.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: It was like it faced into the pool and everyone's apartments,
Speaker 2: you know, were around the pool. There were some unsavory
Speaker 2: characters that lived there. H So, you know, that was
Speaker 2: a good time. It was a good period in my life.
Speaker 2: And I I had two test deals on the table
Speaker 2: by the end of this pilot season. One was for
Speaker 2: Veronica Mars and one was for this unknown show that
Speaker 2: really not many people knew anything much about called Desperate Housewives.
Speaker 2: And the Desperate Housewives deal was on the table, and
Speaker 2: the Veronica Mars thing was like still in negotiation. So
Speaker 2: I went for the Desperate Housewives and I ended up
Speaker 2: booking it. And it was actually a recast. You know,
Speaker 2: there was another actor playing the gardener, but they didn't
Speaker 2: like him opposite Eva. They didn't think that they had chemistry,
Speaker 2: and they recast it after they shot the pilot. Wow,
Speaker 2: how many we had some we had good chemistry.
Speaker 1: And played a high school student.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh my god, Yes, where did you guys film
Speaker 2: we filmed that universal?
Speaker 3: Oh wow?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was really cool. We had a whole block,
Speaker 2: a whole neighborhood, like like set on the lot, whole
Speaker 2: set ont It was very very cool. It's very cool.
Speaker 3: Did you get to see all the tram and the visitor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the trams would always gone by and wave.
Speaker 1: They were just so happy to be on with STI
Speaker 1: Lane exactly.
Speaker 3: Is that what it's called?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I know a lot of plastic flowers and
Speaker 2: you know, I mean.
Speaker 1: Yes, it was like Stepford Wives.
Speaker 2: Yeah and then so yeah, I was totally surprised at
Speaker 2: the success of that show. I didn't I didn't anticipate
Speaker 2: that at all at all.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, how could you you like took a
Speaker 1: leap of faith by leaving that show? Passions right?
Speaker 3: That still long?
Speaker 1: No, when did it end after you?
Speaker 3: It has?
Speaker 2: It has, it's gone. It went for quite a few
Speaker 2: years after I left. But it has a cult following,
Speaker 2: does it. I mean people were huge fans of that show.
Speaker 2: I got a supernatural storyline. It was out there.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like Days of Our Lives where people
Speaker 1: were being possessed by devils.
Speaker 2: No, it was actually my my girlfriend was possessed on
Speaker 2: the show, and I went to Hell to save her. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I was like I was battling demons.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, Jesse, I would love to see that conversation
Speaker 3: between you and the director having these deep moments.
Speaker 1: What is it like meeting with a director on a soap?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know what it's like meeting with a
Speaker 1: director on a film. If you're shooting five days a week.
Speaker 2: And there's not a lot of talk about performance. It's
Speaker 2: like if you if you get the words out of
Speaker 2: your mouth and they're intelligible, then they're moving on.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Because you do so much material each day, there's not
Speaker 2: a yeah, there's episode a day right around full episode.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: How hour long episode.
Speaker 3: I can't even imagine. That's nuts, dude.
Speaker 1: I think I can't memorize that. Like, how much dialogue
Speaker 1: do you think you had to memorize daily?
Speaker 2: Thirty pages? Twenty to thirty pages? If you were a
Speaker 2: main character and had, you know, a big.
Speaker 1: Storyline, you must have been fried by the.
Speaker 2: End of Fried. But I had a young brain.
Speaker 1: Hello were you when you were doing this?
Speaker 2: My twenties? My early twenties?
Speaker 1: Early?
Speaker 3: Okay? But I have a question.
Speaker 2: You're a sharp then, yeah, exactly. You get a lot
Speaker 2: dollars and get older. I need my Ginko Beloba. Probably
Speaker 2: don't know what that is. It was the thing. It
Speaker 2: was a thing that always advertised on the price is right,
Speaker 2: and it's supposed to, like, you know, help your brain,
Speaker 2: supposed to help your memory. Your older listeners, which I'm
Speaker 2: sure you have a few, Well, I will understand.
Speaker 1: That some that are in their fifties. Yeah, sure, perfect
Speaker 1: sold are your forty something?
Speaker 3: Let's not go there.
Speaker 1: I think people should wear their age with pride.
Speaker 2: I do wear mine with pride. On forty two years young,
Speaker 2: about to turn forty three in December.
Speaker 1: Good for you had a good head of hair on you.
Speaker 2: Thank you, You're welcome. You're like, is she about that?
Speaker 2: There's nothing money can't buy?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. We're going to cut to a short
Speaker 1: and we will be right back with Jesse Metcalf. All right,
Speaker 1: we are back with Jesse Metcalf, and we're talking about
Speaker 1: all things Jesse Metcalf, from his great hair to his career.
Speaker 1: I found out you did two movies with randall back
Speaker 1: to back. I had no idea. What are they called.
Speaker 2: They're called Fortress, Fortress, Fortress, b dubs Bruce Willis Bruce
Speaker 2: ye exactly. They're really fun movies though they're like the
Speaker 2: Indiana Jones kind of type movies. They're a little little
Speaker 2: little tongue in cheek and they have a little bit
Speaker 2: of everything. You know. They have a little comedy, they
Speaker 2: have a little romance, and they have a lot of action.
Speaker 2: They're pretty cool, you know, they're kind they're kind of
Speaker 2: they're kind of different. And apparently from both of our
Speaker 2: directors of one and two, I'm hearing that they came
Speaker 2: out quite well good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I know the one that most of the
Speaker 1: movies that Randall's made with Bruce Willis have always topped
Speaker 1: in either Netflix or on demand pretty high. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: is Fortress out yet?
Speaker 2: Not yet? I think the first one's coming out in December?
Speaker 3: Am I right?
Speaker 1: Oh? Around Christmas time? Christmas?
Speaker 2: Really a Christmas Bruce Willis movie. You know how people
Speaker 2: like to say that Diehards a Christmas movie? You ever
Speaker 2: heard that?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, what's your favorite Christmas movie? Die Hard? Die Hard?
Speaker 1: Why? Because it came out around Christmas time?
Speaker 2: Because the story takes place during Christmas.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest, never seen it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a classic.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of classics that I haven't seen. Apparently
Speaker 1: the other one, what is it? Basketball? Diaries that we
Speaker 1: just spoke about. Yes, all right, I did get who
Speaker 1: plays your love interest in Fortress? Or is does?
Speaker 2: Is it someone that I had a love interest? Kelly?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Kelly was great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, an old friend of Randall's and she's amazing in
Speaker 2: the movie.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, very nice. Where did you shoot this? These movies?
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico?
Speaker 2: It's becoming a very popular place to shoot.
Speaker 3: It is it is. It is so busy now that
Speaker 3: I can't even get movies in there, Like we were
Speaker 3: just shot in Alabama because we can't, like, we can't
Speaker 3: get movies into Puerto Rico. So my next movie in
Speaker 3: Porto Rico is not until March because it's it's too busy. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we started that. We started that that.
Speaker 2: Hole, which I'm sure is great for the economy.
Speaker 3: Oh they're so busy. I mean it's but it's great
Speaker 3: for the whole. Yes, it's great for everything. But I
Speaker 3: love Puerto rican I mean it's a great place to
Speaker 3: make movies. It's just you know, there's only so many
Speaker 3: crew there, so whoever gets in, you know, kind of
Speaker 3: they can only handle so much.
Speaker 1: But do you think as they start filming more movies
Speaker 1: there that they'll more people will move there as far
Speaker 1: as production goes, so that they're.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know about that, because.
Speaker 1: Every time I've filmed a movie there, it's kind of
Speaker 1: a shit show.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I actually, I actually was impressed by
Speaker 2: the Puerto Rican Cruise. I thought I thought they were
Speaker 2: really good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree that they.
Speaker 1: Weren't hard workers. They're incredibly like everyone that work is
Speaker 1: hard working, just on most movies.
Speaker 2: That I not necessarily a lot of experience, but I'm right.
Speaker 1: And I'm a virgo, so I like things to be
Speaker 1: very timely and organized.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's I like that as well. You know,
Speaker 2: as an actor that's been in the industry for twenty
Speaker 2: two years.
Speaker 3: I'll say on behalf of recall say that the crews
Speaker 3: are very experienced. They're limited though there's only so many
Speaker 3: of them, so once our movie starts, if you come
Speaker 3: in after the fact, you kind of have to bring
Speaker 3: a lot of people in. So just because there's not enough.
Speaker 1: It was less about the crew and more about maybe
Speaker 1: the director or other people.
Speaker 3: Hold on, oh that was we don't drop the tea,
Speaker 3: but I think she spilled the tea or he dropped
Speaker 3: it or something. Director you felt you didn't have the
Speaker 3: connection with Yeah, movie.
Speaker 2: That can happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now you tell me we're working on pages you
Speaker 1: know why through Z And then you come in and
Speaker 1: you're like, no, no, I told you A and be
Speaker 1: today and it's like you're fucking moron.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, and movie.
Speaker 3: Jesse, would you like to share your uh stories with
Speaker 3: about some of your directors?
Speaker 2: Well, I think you know when you're talking about the
Speaker 2: top of the food chain, you know, and on a film,
Speaker 2: you know, a director really is the captain of the ship,
Speaker 2: you know, and he likes to I would generally generally
Speaker 2: maintain that persona.
Speaker 3: I want to make it clear I didn't direct either
Speaker 3: of your movies.
Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes you have to be sensitive to.
Speaker 3: That, you know.
Speaker 1: See, I feel as the actor someone they need to
Speaker 1: be sensitive to me.
Speaker 3: You will know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone has a perspective.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna switch subjects in about a second.
Speaker 3: I just want to say, Jesse, during your movie with
Speaker 3: your sensitivity to directors, I did receive a lot of
Speaker 3: calls from you on one particular film.
Speaker 2: Uh, but that's come full circle.
Speaker 3: No, you guys wonderfully. No, you guys made up and
Speaker 3: I think that's amazing. I also think sometimes, like lawa said,
Speaker 3: circumstance and just it might be that film or whatever
Speaker 3: things happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's very hot, very hot and humid
Speaker 2: in Puerto Rico. Tensions can run high. But if you're
Speaker 2: passionate about what you're doing and you bring that passion
Speaker 2: to the project, sometimes it can it can get a
Speaker 2: little fiery on set.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, it's important to be able to work a
Speaker 2: lot of egos on a side. It's important to be
Speaker 2: able to work through these things on a set because
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, we're a team and
Speaker 2: it's a collaborative art form. Yes, so we can't forget that.
Speaker 1: No, I fully agree. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: everyone's intent is to do the same thing, which is
Speaker 1: create a great film. So I respect that. I actually
Speaker 1: remember when you were going toes with whoever you were
Speaker 1: doing toes with, going everyone to calm down.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I used to say to Law when I
Speaker 3: was getting those calls, I was like, dude, what doing
Speaker 3: She's like, everyone just needs to settle down in Porto Rico.
Speaker 3: But just tell us because you don't you know, in
Speaker 3: terms of like what is the perfect project that you'd
Speaker 3: like to see yourself do over the next few years,
Speaker 3: Like what, what director? What kind of genre? Is there
Speaker 3: anything you want to challenge yourself with or is it.
Speaker 2: Just okay, my my favorite genre is gangster films. Really yeah,
Speaker 2: I would love to do, you know, a mob movie
Speaker 2: where I was maybe the black sheep of an Italian
Speaker 2: mafia family that had a drug problem and maybe a
Speaker 2: gambling problem. Because of my gambling problem, I get in
Speaker 2: debt to a rival family and in order to you know,
Speaker 2: not get killed, I have to inform on my own family. Wow, yeah,
Speaker 2: I just care.
Speaker 3: I just came up with that's that's a great that's
Speaker 3: a great develop that. Yeah, we should. I actually like
Speaker 3: it all right. By the way, if anybody tries to
Speaker 3: steal that Jesse did, we're copywriting it right now.
Speaker 2: We have it, we have it on record. Okay, I'll find.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I like that. That's interesting. It sounds like
Speaker 3: a little like Godfather. But we'll we'll modify it to
Speaker 3: contemporary times for sure. Okay, tell us the best the
Speaker 3: most exciting moment of Desert Housewives. That's what I want
Speaker 3: to steel, Like, what was the best episode or the best.
Speaker 2: The most exciting moment for me was winning a SAG Award.
Speaker 3: That's right, that's huge.
Speaker 2: Ensemble comedy cast. So that was an unbelievable that the moment,
Speaker 2: you know, we're all up on stage at the SAG Awards.
Speaker 3: That's big.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really awesome.
Speaker 1: Where do you keep your SAG Award right now?
Speaker 2: Where is that tiward on the back of the toilet
Speaker 2: in the guest room? Why no, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3: I was going to living obviously, I.
Speaker 1: Was going to say that needs to be removed and
Speaker 1: placed out.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you a funny story about the SAG Awards?
Speaker 3: And then I've said on the podcast, I'm gonna say
Speaker 3: real quick and in a cliff dal version, Lala and
Speaker 3: I went to the Syhorts for the Irishman. I wanted
Speaker 3: to say hello to Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep was sitting
Speaker 3: at the table next to us. As she got up
Speaker 3: and started moving, I stood up. It's the only person I,
Speaker 3: you know, fangirled about.
Speaker 1: She couldn't get away from Randam fast enough.
Speaker 3: Okay, they literally, no, she's don't. That's not what she said.
Speaker 3: She said, can you give me one second right back?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I never came back and then proceeded when
Speaker 1: she came back to instead of take that route, go.
Speaker 4: All the way around to the other around the table
Speaker 4: to dodge me. And but here is the kicker that
Speaker 4: I have to live with this to this day. Fast
Speaker 4: forward the entire night.
Speaker 3: Every time they do a shot of Meryl Streep and
Speaker 3: Reese witherspent the table next to us, who is in
Speaker 3: the eye line, La La Kent. So so all of
Speaker 3: the photos are Meryl Streep and Lala Kent without Lala
Speaker 3: Ken ever asking for a photo, and I got I
Speaker 3: got dissed.
Speaker 1: I don't care about famous people that much.
Speaker 2: Neither do I. But I mean, if it's a it's
Speaker 2: an actor that I really admire. I think it's cool
Speaker 2: to be able to meet the person. But I'm not
Speaker 2: going to be like falling all over myself.
Speaker 1: And I'm definitely not asking for a picture either, Like
Speaker 1: what am I going to do with it?
Speaker 2: Same anyone for a picture of my.
Speaker 3: Wife, Well, I'll take a picture with you.
Speaker 2: I have too many pictures with you, that's true, But.
Speaker 3: I honestly no. But you know, Meryl Streep is just
Speaker 3: one of those actors that I looked up to since
Speaker 3: I was a kid and she's the greatest ever. So
Speaker 3: it was like this weird moment that she was walking
Speaker 3: and I said, I got to do it, but it
Speaker 3: did work out, so I'm.
Speaker 1: Not gonna I'll be I'll be right back.
Speaker 3: And by the way, and by the way, she thanks law,
Speaker 3: thanks for that. And by the way, I asked law,
Speaker 3: I said, no, she was being nice. She wanted to
Speaker 3: go talk to Marty and then she's going to come back.
Speaker 3: And she says she ain't coming back and that like that.
Speaker 1: That the waste is called avoiding you like you're the plague.
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 3: You were there?
Speaker 2: I was you were there.
Speaker 3: I was a table over. That is I was a
Speaker 3: table over.
Speaker 1: Even know and it looked like I was there so
Speaker 1: low kicking it by Meryl Streep.
Speaker 3: I can't believe I didn't get a shot. She gets
Speaker 3: all these shots. All I wanted was a picture. I
Speaker 3: could have taken the picture off the off the screen
Speaker 3: and then blown it up and put it in my office.
