<v Speaker 3>Were, Thank you for having me.

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 1>Could you just start in your career.

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.519
<v Speaker 3>Well the same way I got my role on Gilmore Girls,

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 3>which was casting director workshops. Do you remember those? I

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 3>never did it out lot.

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I never did those.

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm from a town of one thousand people, so

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 3>I knew truly nobody. I didn't know a dentist here.

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.119
<v Speaker 3>I knew nobody, and so the only way I could

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 3>meet anyone was by doing these workshops. Which it really

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 3>makes me sad that they're not around anymore, because I

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 3>don't know how people can get in the door.

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise it's interesting. I don't know either. How do they

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>do it now?

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>No meetings, no casting sessions, no nothing, nothing.

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 3>But I did a casting director workshop with one of

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 3>the associate casting directors and they were talking about how

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 3>to get a role on Gilmore Girls, and they said,

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.799
<v Speaker 3>you just have to talk really fast, and I'm like, oh,

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 3>I already do that. I talk so fast. Everyone always

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 3>tells me to slow down. So I was like, ooh,

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 3>this might work for me. And then he brought me

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 3>in and I played I think it was like student

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 3>number three or something. Years years before I played Juliette.

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 3>I was like a different I had like two lines.

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 3>And then three or four years later they called me again,

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 3>and I had another audition for a different character, and

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 3>I was like, do they know I was already on? Well,

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to mention it. So I came back

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 3>talked really fast.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Right, So you appeared in season three as a girl

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>in a classroom. Then season five you come in as Juliet,

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>one of Logan's friends. Yes, so did you have to

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>audition for and did they bring you back in and

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>give you that character?

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 3>She just got another audition. Yeah, I auditioned again. So

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 3>I auditioned for like the student. I was like sort

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 3>of bullying LAURALI I'm like, didn't you get pregnant as

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 3>a teenager or something? And then they thought of me

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 3>again and brought me back as just a different person.

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 3>And I was really grateful because I've never played two

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 3>characters on one show before.

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Had you been a fan of the show before you

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>came on.

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 3>I'd never seen it before I did that workshop, and

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 3>then once I did that, I was like, I feel

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 3>like I could be on this show. And then I

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 3>watched it and I was like, oh, I love this show, right,

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 3>And then I was like, I really hope I'm on

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 3>the show.

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>So when when we first when we're first introduced to

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Juliet as the friend who won't eat because she doesn't

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.359
<v Speaker 1>want to gain weight, which is that was That was

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 1>a really funny scene. That wasn't Jews and Chinese food,

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>very very funny. What did you think when you got

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the script and you saw the part and you had

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>to play in this episode?

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 3>This is going to sound awful. I thought I wasn't

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 3>going to get it because I was too large. That's

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 3>where my mind was. I was like, I'm not thin

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 3>enough to play someone who won't eat. I just thought

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 3>there's so many thinner actresses that I went that I

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't get it. And I was like, oh, okay, I

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 3>guess I'm wrong. I just sort of put that own

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 3>that barrier in my own head. I don't think that

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm large, but I just was like looking around the room,

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 3>I guess and was like, I don't know that this

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 3>is mine. But I thought it was very funny and

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 3>I was excited that I got it right.

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>So what do you remember from that dinner scene with

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Matt Alexis and the rest of the crew from the

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Life and Death Brigade. Did it take a long time

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to shoot those dinner table scenes?

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>So long you usually take forever.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was stunned. I remember that I went last.

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 3>I remember that I went last, and I think by

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 3>the time I went, Alexis had to like go to

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.359
<v Speaker 3>get like she'd been there like the whole time, and

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 3>then she had to go get like ready for the

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 3>next scene or something. So I remember acting toward an

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 3>X when it was all the all the people, and

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 3>then she was like a taped X, right, she like

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 3>had to leave for something. Wasn't like she's like, I

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 3>won't do my line. She wasn't like that, but.

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>She had to go green Ex on a stanchion. Yeah,

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I've acted with Greenex's on stanchion polls before. Yes, some

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>of my best scene partners.

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 3>But I know, right, sometimes they're better than the scene

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 3>partners you get, not on Gore Girls, but no, But

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.359
<v Speaker 3>I remember just like loving all those people. It was

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 3>so fun. I was just like I was just thrilled

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 3>to be there. I couldn't believe it.

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, we're really enjoying the Light Life and Death Brigade.

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>We really enjoy all those guys, and really really enjoying

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Matt Zugrie and what he did with Logan and.

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Gosh He's good, isn't he he is.

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 1>He's so smooth.

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 3>God, he's such a good actor. He makes it seem

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 3>very effortless. And I'm like, oh, he is crushing this scene.

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 1>He's just man, he's so smooth at the door when

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>he came to her door, and just just all these

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 1>lines just flying out of them so easily, and it's

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>just also thrown away. It's just great.

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 3>I love it. It's so good.

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Is any funny?

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh God, he's funny. I loved like hanging. We actually

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 3>all hung out in real life a little bit. Oh yeah,

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 3>because you know, we were all like in our twenties

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 3>with you know, not in relationships and with nothing to do,

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 3>so we're like, let's go drink somewhere or whatever. So yeah,

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 3>we hung out like a handful of times. And they

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 3>all came to see me in a weird play that

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 3>I did in Culver City.

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's nice.

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they supported you, that's really yeah, Yeah they were.

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 3>And then Alexis and I actually made a short film together.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Is that right?

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 3>It was like, yeah, it was Gosh, when was it?

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 3>I think it was No, it was right, And I

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 3>think it was before the writers the two thousand eight

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 3>writers strikes me. It was like two thousand and six

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 3>or seven or something around there. It was when it

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 3>was very hard to make sure. Now people can make

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 3>them on their phones, but it was very hard then.

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 3>But we did it.

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 3>had not happened to me before. So yeah, I was

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 3>I was super excited that I got to keep doing it.

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 3>It was just fun. It was just a good vibe

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 3>and everyone was kind of in the same place in

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.119
<v Speaker 3>life and it was just fun.

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.240

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a favorite character that you've got to play?

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 3>I think my favorite character was my character on Pushing Daisy's.

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 3>I just did one episode of Pushing day Z's. I

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.839
<v Speaker 3>think it was like the second episode, and I got

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 3>to play this like bleemiccar salesman, and that doesn't sell

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 3>it very well, but it was very fun. I don't

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 3>know what it was. I was just like I just

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 3>had to play it, and I was just very excited

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 3>about it. So maybe that mm hmm, but I guess

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 3>it could change depending on the day. What's your favorite

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>show Wednesday.

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that was a dream job.

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>How did you get that part? It was? Did I

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.320

<v Speaker 3>get why did they cast you?

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 3>I got that part because it was during the pandemic

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 3>and everyone's you know, just taping from home and I

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 3>didn't know exact I was trying to I read this

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 3>just like the couple scenes, and I couldn't quite get

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 3>the tone. I was like, what is I was like,

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 3>is it a comedy as a drama? And I packed

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 3>to my manager and she's like, oh, it's actually Wednesday

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Atoms because in the script I think the character was

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.200
<v Speaker 3>called Willa or something. And then I was like, oh, okay,

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.560
<v Speaker 3>got it, got it. And so I was like, what

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 3>what would drive Wednesday Adams the most nuts? I was like,

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 3>what would she hate the most? And so I was

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 3>like I wore like pearls and white and my hair

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 3>like curly, and I was like, she'd hate this, and

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 3>so I just had that in my mind, and I

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 3>sent a tape and then didn't hear anything for like

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 3>four months or something, and then I was like, you know,

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 3>you forget about it. And then my agent said, well,

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 3>you're in the mix for the thing, and I thought

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 3>I was going to test or something, and then I

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 3>just got an email that said oh Netflix approved your tape,

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.319
<v Speaker 3>and I was like oh okay. So I thought, all right,

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 3>well then I'm in the next round or whatever. And

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 3>then my manager a few days later is like, so

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 3>are you ready for Romania and I was like, what's

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 3>what are you talking about? And she's like, well, you

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 3>got that part. And I was like, that's how you told.

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Me your agents really need to work on their I

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 1>mean that's like a celebration, you know.

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I need like a woo.

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Take you to lunch and hey, let's celebrate exactly.

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 3>I guess not during the pandemic.

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>But they sent an email saying they approved your tape.

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>And then she was like, oh my got a job.

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 3>She was kind of like, oh that is no. She

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 3>just laughed when I pointed that out. She's like, yeah,

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 3>that isn't very She's like, well, it's exciting. And then

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 3>I had to move to Romania like a week later,

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 3>and I moved for seven months.

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>What yeah, so what is a gig?

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? It was the best?

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 1>So what what is Romania like it?

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 3>It's like, okay, so it's beautiful. Everyone's very nice, but

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 3>it's also very different. Like I remember my first day

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 3>on set, I just went in to get a COVID

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 3>test and there was like a little COVID tent and

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 3>the nurse was smoking a cigarette inside the tent and

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh, got and she handed the cigarette

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 3>to the PA did my swab and then put the

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 3>cigarette back in her mouth, and I'm like, Okay, I'm

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:26.959
<v Speaker 3>in a different place. This is like a slightly different culture.

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 3>But it ended up being just an amazing experience, and

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 3>the cast got really close, and I got to travel

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.199
<v Speaker 3>all over Europe. Because I basically had one scene in

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 3>episode only in the therapy office. I wasn't in any

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.559
<v Speaker 3>special effects or anything, so I just got to leave

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 3>and go everywhere. And I've never been to Europe without

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 3>jet lag, you know where. It was like a forty

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 3>five minute flight to Greece.

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, so you so you went where? Tell

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>me where you went? Where you want to Oh my gosh.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 3>I went all over Greece. I went to Sweden, I

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 3>went to Paris, I went to Italy. I went to

0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:59.680
<v Speaker 3>the Arctic Circle like in Finland.

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:01.040

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 3>where I am like just so close to everything. And

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 3>I was like I need to take advantage of it,

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 3>and so I just I And I'd also been sitting

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 3>in my apartment for a year because of COVID like

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 3>everyone else. So I was ready to see the world.

<v Speaker 3>And they had a baby coming when the show was over,

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 3>so I was like, I need to live it up

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 3>before he's here, because I knew that my life would become,

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, more sedentary once the baby came.

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.960

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>personally were having it. Oh okay.

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 3>So I was like I got to see everything I can.

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>But now you have all these grapes. You have a

0:14:59.040 --> 0:14:59.720

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 3>I totally agree.

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:17.720

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 3>People warn you, They're like, oh, bubb And then I

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.200

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 3>so is being on Gilmore Girl's That's right, right, you work,

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, fifteen hours a day or so, it's just

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 3>like it's hard, but it's like, yeah, it's incredible. It's

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 3>so worth it.

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 1>If you work as a team and you pick up

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 1>some slack here and there, and you know, it's it's wonderful.

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>The whole time is magic. I mean the way they

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>grow and little ways every single day and you can

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>see it.

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and he's so sweet. He's got so much hair.

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 3>It's like like like this huge mop of curly hair.

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 3>He looks like you know, Annie with brown hair.

0:15:58.920 --> 0:15:59.840

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, me too. I just you know, the couple

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 1>of times I've had he's such a good kid. He's

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>such a good hearted, big hearted kid. And a few

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.120
<v Speaker 1>times that I've had to discipline him, it just crushed me.

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 1>It just killed me. I had to just leave the

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.320
<v Speaker 1>room and break down, you know what I mean. But

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>you gotta do what you gotta do. Yeah, but man,

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>you know it's like you've got that kid's heart in

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>your hand, and oh man, I love being a dad

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.560
<v Speaker 1>more than anything. It's it's you know, that's my favorite role.

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>And it is not a movie, no, it's.

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it's insane. It's I I It was the

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 3>best year of my life, hands down, Like, there's what

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.720
<v Speaker 3>compares to that, like the birth of your first child,

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 3>the best job ever traveling Europe. I was like, just

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 3>this is I was just like, while it was happening,

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I can't believe that this is what

0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 3>I get to do. Very fortunate.

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:07.360
<v Speaker 1>We live in interesting times. Yeah, did you know when

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 1>filming Wednesday that it was going to become as popular

0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:12.879
<v Speaker 1>as it has become.

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:17.919
<v Speaker 3>No, nobody knew. Nobody knew, no, no, not because it

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.159
<v Speaker 3>was so far removed. Like we were just you know,

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.359
<v Speaker 3>in Bucharest and it was COVID. It was just it

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.479
<v Speaker 3>was just such a it was so far away from

0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.359
<v Speaker 3>everything we and we couldn't see the other scenes. So

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 3>because of COVID, the protocols, you know, we'd travel in

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 3>our own little car to the set and it was

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 3>like an hour away and you're in you're you're just

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 3>so quarantined, and then you're back to your hotel that

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.439
<v Speaker 3>I could I never saw the big picture. All I

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:46.400
<v Speaker 3>saw was my therapy office. I'm like, hope it's good,

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, and a picture and then I would

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.360
<v Speaker 3>go to Greece, you know, and so I'm like, and

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 3>we all hoped it would be, but we we truly,

0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 3>we just couldn't see any of it, so except for

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 3>our own scenes, And it's hard to be objective about

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 3>your own scenes or how they're going or how they

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 3>look great, you know. And it obviously it had you know,

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Jenna's amazing. It had a great script, great directors, like

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing. It had a lot going for it.

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.199
<v Speaker 3>And the sets that I saw were beautiful, the costumes

0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:16.639
<v Speaker 3>were beautiful. But you just never know.

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.719
<v Speaker 1>But some pr came out a few months ago about

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:23.680
<v Speaker 1>how her her work schedule is beginning to really wear

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:29.160
<v Speaker 1>her down and that she didn't There was some speculation

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 1>that maybe she wasn't returning or she was trying to

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.000
<v Speaker 1>get Is any of that true? And have they resolved

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 1>those issues? Is the show still on? Is it still on?

0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I highly doubt that's true. I'm sure she's returning.

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 3>That that would surprise me. She loved playing Wednesday. Everyone

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 3>loves Jenna. She was the captain of the ship. She

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 3>was incredible, Like, you cannot find someone in the cast

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 3>who's not obsessed with Jenna. She's so awesome. She's like,

0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 3>I can't I can't imagine that being the case. I

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 3>didn't actually hear that. I was like, oh, I'm sure

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.560
<v Speaker 3>she's I'm sure she's exhausted. I mean, right now she's

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 3>filming Beetlejuice and she's doing Scream and you know, she's

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:14.119
<v Speaker 3>kind of everywhere doing SNL. But wow, I would be

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 3>so so surprised if that's the case. She just loved

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:19.359
<v Speaker 3>playing that character.

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.640
<v Speaker 1>But I tell you the media, man, they really when

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 1>they get their fangs in.

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, wow, I didn't even Wow, it's funny. I didn't

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 3>even hear that.

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 1>It was like all these entertainment headlines. Wow, one day.

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.399
<v Speaker 3>This is why I don't think it's true, because the

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 3>cast is like all gossips with each other about everything,

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.400
<v Speaker 3>and no one said anything to me about that because

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 3>people would have been panicked, like, oh, are we not

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:42.640
<v Speaker 3>doing it again?

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Or so there's definitely a season two as far as

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I think it's going to depend on

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:51.360
<v Speaker 3>the strike more than anything.

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, sure, then we find out tomorrow. I know you're

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:59.280
<v Speaker 1>going to find out tomorrow what's going on? Yeah, are

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.880
<v Speaker 1>you still on uh Wednesday, are you still on the show.

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know yet because my character my character dies

0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 3>in the show, but like, we don't see me get buried.

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.919
<v Speaker 3>We don't see so I don't know what they have

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:11.840
<v Speaker 3>planned for season two.

0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so let's talk about your famous comedy duo, Garfunkel

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and Oats. Where did you get this idea from? This

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.439
<v Speaker 1>is obviously a Simon and Garfunkle hall and all.

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 3>I went to see Hall of Notes at the Hollywood

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.639
<v Speaker 3>Bowl and I was in the very back. I had

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 3>terrible seats, and so you have to look at the

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 3>screen and the camera guy like didn't realize they were

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 3>a duo, so it would just be Haul alone and

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.160
<v Speaker 3>then Oats in the band just like he was only

0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.400
<v Speaker 3>in these wides and I'm like, this is just kind

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 3>of funny. He just was the it was just the

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.880
<v Speaker 3>filming of it. He was so second Banana. And then

0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, I also love Simon and Garfunkle, so we

0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 3>just like thought the name was funny and kept and

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 3>then of course we found out, Oh my gosh, I

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.240
<v Speaker 3>found out two years ago that it was a Simpsons joke,

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 3>years before we came up with it, and I was like, well,

0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:09.480
<v Speaker 3>everything's a Simpsons joke. It was like it was like

0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Nash oh, Scarfunkle and something. Yeah. It was some sort

0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:16.920
<v Speaker 3>of second Banana supergroup. And I'm like, well, well, oh, well.

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 1>So you're a singer songwriter, you play, play guitar.

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah. We do comedy songs and then we write

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 3>songs for you know, other people. We write songs for

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 3>animated movies and TV shows and things like that. We

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 3>wrote a song for a Big Bang Theory and you

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 3>know and stuff. And yeah, I just love writing songs.

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.440
<v Speaker 3>It's the it's the best I do too.

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:40.399
<v Speaker 1>I've written a ton of them. Really, I spent I

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.040
<v Speaker 1>used to spend a great deal in my free time

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 1>writing songs.

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:45.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a lot. It's time consuming.

0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like a whole But but you don't I don't

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.040
<v Speaker 1>notice the time going by when I'm doing it, you know,

0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know. None of my wife says, are

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 1>you coming to dinner? I said, what do you mean?

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I started writing at lunch. Just six hours just went by,

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you know. Yeah. Really, yeah, I get in the.

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Song, I guess I get in the zone a little bit,

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 3>but it's painstaking for me. I don't have an effortless

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:11.640
<v Speaker 3>ease about songwriting. I'm just like, I like, yeah.

0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 1>What are you writing songs for yourself.

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, I write songs for the Yes, I write songs

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 3>for our band to perform. We do, and then we

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 3>also write songs for other people, Like we wrote a

0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 3>song for the Lego movie. You know we you know.

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 1>So you're so you're actually selling songs to productions.

0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, good for Well, it's an interesting it's been

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:36.239
<v Speaker 3>like a pretty well traveled route. Like a lot of

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:40.120
<v Speaker 3>comedy bands suddenly get jobs writing songs for legit things.

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 3>That's just like a lot of comedy bands have done that.

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:44.879
<v Speaker 3>We're like, we're like, ooh, we want to do it.

0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:48.359
<v Speaker 3>And so yeah. The first people that called us were

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:51.479
<v Speaker 3>the SpongeBob movie, and then we wrote a song for that.

0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:55.720
<v Speaker 4>And then because they saw your comedy work, they saw

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:57.719
<v Speaker 4>a song that we wrote called the Loophole, which is

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 4>easily the dirtiest song we've ever written I far, and

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:03.880
<v Speaker 4>we were like, that's the song that made you hire

0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:05.679
<v Speaker 4>us and they're like yep, and we're like, okay, this

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.399
<v Speaker 4>is going to be fun, and they were very cool.

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 3>It's a really really it's a dirty song.

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm supposed to go to Nashville and co write

0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 1>with some artists down there, and I've never done it before.

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I've never co written, and I'm terrified. I don't know

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:24.159
<v Speaker 1>how to do it.

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Really, You've never you've never done that, it's so.

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Fun've never done a co writing session. I think I

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.239
<v Speaker 1>did one once and I just didn't know what to

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:36.159
<v Speaker 1>do right, because for me, it's just sort of getting

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.000
<v Speaker 1>an idea and hearing something in my head and then

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 1>getting it down and then lyrics come.

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:48.040
<v Speaker 3>And oh, so your melody first, lyrics not vocal. I

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.120
<v Speaker 3>think it's I think it's easier when your lyrics first,

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.879
<v Speaker 3>because then people can sort of picture the melody together.

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Now the words come from the sounds. The words come

0:23:58.040 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>from that's the last thing that comes.

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:02.919
<v Speaker 3>I think most people are like you. Our stuff is

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 3>all like punchlines, and so the words have to come first.

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they gotta comfort but no, no, But sometimes it's

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:11.439
<v Speaker 1>it's an idea, it's a couple of words put together.

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:16.119
<v Speaker 1>It's like, what makes that melody sound right? And yeah,

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:20.400
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of words can fit into certain sounds right,

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of times they don't even make sense,

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and I don't care. They just sound good.

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's a lot of songs I feel like. I

0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 3>feel like collaborating on a song on a song is

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 3>like dating. Like some dates will go sometimes you'll like

0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of chemistry and you're like, oh, this is

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:38.119
<v Speaker 3>so fun, and sometimes you'll be like, yeah that was

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 3>it was nice to meet you.

0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Cool.

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:45.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, we'll totally finish that song some days. Like

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:46.600
<v Speaker 3>I think it's just like.

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:49.159
<v Speaker 1>That, right right, right, So who are your big influences?

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:52.160
<v Speaker 1>So us Simon and gar Phone call Hall and Knows.

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 3>Who are who are you influences?

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:54.959
<v Speaker 1>Is?

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:58.600
<v Speaker 3>My two big influences are weird Al and Stephen Sondheim.

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh really yeah, our stuff is very just like it's

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 3>like musical theater. It'sh musical theater with jokes, so it's

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 3>not really actually I just like Hollan Notes and Simon

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:11.199
<v Speaker 3>and Garfunkle. We don't actually sound like them. We're I

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 3>love the word density of Stephen Sondheim, just how he

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 3>fits so many words in one sentence. And we'd now

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:19.920
<v Speaker 3>because it was my introduction to comedy music.

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:26.200

<v Speaker 3>Are mostly just comedy club mostly, you know, like five

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:04.080
<v Speaker 3>or six hundred people and we do like four shows

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:06.640
<v Speaker 3>in a weekend something like that. It's so fun. We've

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:09.880
<v Speaker 3>been on hiatus though because of COVID and we haven't

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:12.600

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 3>And I just started playing solo songs around LA just

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:25.120
<v Speaker 3>two weeks ago. Yeah really, I'm this is like, yeah,

0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:26.600

<v Speaker 3>trying to write a musical about fertility, and so I

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 3>was just like playing the songs and comedy clubs just

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:35.159
<v Speaker 3>because I don't know, why not, why not seeing how

0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:37.280
<v Speaker 3>they go? Because they're funny. They're supposed to be funny.

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, it's really niche.

0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 3>People do not expect that. When I walk out, I'm like,

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.600

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I've delayed this so many times because of work. Work

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:10.360
<v Speaker 1>always comes up and gets the way. I'm all excited

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:13.120
<v Speaker 1>to get down there because it's Warner Chapel that wants

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:16.159

<v Speaker 3>imposter voices? Yeah, yeah, I think that's good. Right. It's

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:33.400
<v Speaker 3>good to be like nervous or to be like because

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:35.399

<v Speaker 3>doubt yourself at all, I feel like that's bad. You

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 3>got to be like can I do this? Can I

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:42.679

0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:42.960
<v Speaker 3>my car.

0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:45.719
<v Speaker 1>But I know when I'm writing my stuff. What is

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 1>absolute shite and what is sort of decent and what

0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:52.880
<v Speaker 1>is you know, the rare one that's like, oh that's

0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:55.679
<v Speaker 1>you know that could do something, that could be something.

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:02.679
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I don't know. I mean, I hope I

0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:04.440
<v Speaker 1>have time to go do it. I really want to

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 1>go do it.

0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm really curious about the experience. And they want

0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 1>me to play at the Blue Bird Cafe and I'm terrified.

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, no, I'm not going to play.

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, if we strike tomorrow, you'll have time.

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess I will.

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you'll find out tomorrow.

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Maybe well we'll cross paths on the road.

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly. That sounds so fun though, Yeah, what kind

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 3>of music do you play? Well?

0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I really like writing for a band, okay,

0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 1>because there's just so many options and so many sounds,

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know, there's so many genres you can mix

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:49.280
<v Speaker 1>with a band and with a synthesizer and with this

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:51.880
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, and a Fender and stratocaster, and

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's the kind of alchemy that I like

0:28:56.240 --> 0:29:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to sort of try to come up with me. But

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the only time I've ever toured was with two acoustic guitars.

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:07.200
<v Speaker 1>And guitar, a really great guitar player backing me up

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and me singing. And I don't like singing. You don't, well,

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I'm very good at it, and.

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm not very good at it either, but I enjoy it.

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm like a bus I'm like, for some reason, it

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:19.760
<v Speaker 3>doesn't bother me.

0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 1>But you enjoy it.

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:24.800
<v Speaker 3>See as good as I need to be for comedy songs.

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, because that's the thing. It's it's the jokes right.

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Right, Like I'm not getting on Broadway anytime soon, but

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 3>I can tell the punchlines.

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I just you know. And I really worked on my

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:38.720
<v Speaker 1>voice at one point and got it in great shape.

0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>And I was going to this coach and he was

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:43.040
<v Speaker 1>charging me all kinds of money and he had these

0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 1>great voice building techniques and they worked and I was

0:29:46.640 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 1>just singing out and I was like wow, and I

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 1>mean I have to do that to sound passable. Yeah,

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:56.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to be great, right. And then you

0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:59.120
<v Speaker 1>hear like great singers, You're like, well, you know, they

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 1>work at it too, some of them, don't. They just

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:02.959
<v Speaker 1>like roll out of bed they can do that. I'm like,

0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't do this. These people are gifted.

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 3>It does sort of bum me out when I'm around

0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 3>like a real thing because I'm writing, you know, this

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.760
<v Speaker 3>musical right now, and when I make the demos, I'll

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 3>make them myself first, and then I'm like, what if

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 3>I hire and then I have this like sort of

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, stable of demo singers. I'll hire one of them,

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:23.800
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, well, now it's so much better. Like

0:30:24.800 --> 0:30:27.680
<v Speaker 3>that sucks because it is way way way better. And

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 3>they just sing it once and I'm like, I guess

0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:33.400
<v Speaker 3>we should do it twice since you're here right right right.

0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 3>For me, I've got like thirty takes and I'm editing

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:38.280
<v Speaker 3>and trying to make it sound okay.

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>But it's like, it's just if that's what you wanted

0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:45.400
<v Speaker 1>to be in life, that's that's what I should have done,

0:30:45.520 --> 0:30:49.080
