Annalise Basso: Oh God.

111

03:45 ,525 --> 00:03:49,095

I thought we were just, you know,

112

03:49 ,095 --> 00:03:52,305

then we were, you were gonna start

asking me the, the real questions.

113

03:52 ,670 --> 00:03:53,475

Oh, no.

114

03:53 ,475 --> 00:03:55,395

Now I gotta get my podcaster voice going.

115

03:56 ,895 --> 00:03:58,635

Marc Preston: No, I was just, I was

just speaking with somebody the other

116

03:58 ,635 --> 00:04:02,595

day, um, fellow named re diamond and,

uh, I, and I was leaning in, I was

117

04:02 ,595 --> 00:04:03,885

adjusting some knobs on my thing.

118

04:03 ,885 --> 00:04:05,025

I was like, can you hear me okay?

119

04:05 ,025 --> 00:04:06,045

He's like, yes.

120

04:06 ,045 --> 00:04:09,075

So I was like, wait, let's go and

do this whole thing, like NPR style,

121

04:09 ,075 --> 00:04:13,875

like Sarah and Elise, uh, tell me, um,

I'm not gonna do that for you though.

122

04:13 ,875 --> 00:04:16,394

I'm not, I'm not gonna

creep you out like that.

123

04:17 ,060 --> 00:04:19,729

Um, but no, actually I was

watching, uh, last time.

124

04:19 ,729 --> 00:04:22,099

My daughter is in town

from, uh, from school.

125

04:22 ,099 --> 00:04:25,010

She's, uh, now home for

the summer and she's 19.

126

04:25 ,010 --> 00:04:27,830

And I said, you know, I was like,

let me, let me find some movies.

127

04:27 ,830 --> 00:04:29,030

I've always wanted to see.

128

04:29 ,630 --> 00:04:30,289

Uh, captain.

129

04:30 ,289 --> 00:04:30,979

Fantastic.

130

04:30 ,979 --> 00:04:34,609

It is on my like, top 10 list of

movies I haven't seen yet, but

131

04:34 ,609 --> 00:04:36,200

I, I wanna see, I wanna see that.

132

04:36 ,349 --> 00:04:38,990

I didn't think she would be that into

it, so I'll watch it on my own time.

133

04:38 ,990 --> 00:04:41,000

But we watched, uh, camp.

134

04:41 ,030 --> 00:04:41,900

I think that's what it was.

135

04:41 ,900 --> 00:04:42,650

We were watching camp.

136

04:42 ,765 --> 00:04:43,505

Oh, camp.

137

04:44 ,570 --> 00:04:44,659

Yes.

138

04:44 ,690 --> 00:04:47,539

Something seemed a little bit off

because I'm a big fan of Joey King.

139

04:47 ,570 --> 00:04:48,770

Loved the stuff she does.

140

04:48 ,770 --> 00:04:52,940

And that was shot in like 2016, but

they just released it like last year.

141

04:52 ,940 --> 00:04:53,240

Right.

142

04:53 ,240 --> 00:04:54,289

It was, am I right on that?

143

04:54 ,289 --> 00:04:56,270

'cause I was like, wait, did I

miss this when it came to older?

144

04:56 ,270 --> 00:04:56,659

Yes.

145

04:56 ,810 --> 00:04:58,190

Annalise Basso: You're

no, you didn't miss it.

146

04:58 ,190 --> 00:05:01,760

We, we went back for re-shoots

over the course of several years.

147

05:01 ,760 --> 00:05:03,380

So I mean,

148

05:03 ,469 --> 00:05:03,950

Marc Preston: really?

149

05:04 ,250 --> 00:05:04,700

Annalise Basso: Yes.

150

05:04 ,849 --> 00:05:04,909

Marc Preston: Oh, okay.

151

05:04 ,969 --> 00:05:07,940

Annalise Basso: Yeah, we started

shooting that I think back

152

05:07 ,940 --> 00:05:12,125

in 20, I. Maybe 20 16, 20 17.

153

05:12 ,130 --> 00:05:12,540

Okay.

154

05:12 ,720 --> 00:05:14,670

Marc Preston: I, I wanna make

sure it's not on my end, but is

155

05:14 ,670 --> 00:05:16,590

your camera off by any chance or?

156

05:16 ,665 --> 00:05:16,885

Yes,

157

05:17 ,130 --> 00:05:17,580

Annalise Basso: yes, it's,

158

05:18 ,240 --> 00:05:18,725

Marc Preston: oh, okay.

159

05:18 ,730 --> 00:05:19,020

Okay.

160

05:19 ,020 --> 00:05:20,850

I just wanna make sure I didn't

have an error right here.

161

05:20 ,850 --> 00:05:21,990

We don't, we don't put video

162

05:22 ,050 --> 00:05:22,590

Annalise Basso: in my, oh,

163

05:22 ,590 --> 00:05:23,220

Marc Preston: no, no, no, no, no.

164

05:23 ,430 --> 00:05:24,480

This is just audio only.

165

05:24 ,480 --> 00:05:26,760

I'm kind of old school, you know,

and actually as funny as listening

166

05:26 ,760 --> 00:05:30,480

to Marc Marin, who I think does a

wonderful job of doing podcasting

167

05:30 ,485 --> 00:05:33,600

and, and just kind of, you know, I

came from radio many moons ago, but.

168

05:34 ,275 --> 00:05:35,025

He, uh, you have

169

05:35 ,025 --> 00:05:37,635

Annalise Basso: the, you have the voice

for it, but you have the face for tv.

170

05:38 ,325 --> 00:05:38,385

Marc Preston: Oh.

171

05:38 ,600 --> 00:05:38,821

Oh, look.

172

05:39 ,285 --> 00:05:40,305

You sweet talker.

173

05:40 ,305 --> 00:05:40,785

Look at you.

174

05:41 ,355 --> 00:05:42,225

No, I was listening to him.

175

05:42 ,225 --> 00:05:45,825

He had this wonderful, I think his, his,

uh, interview with David Harbor recently

176

05:46 ,155 --> 00:05:51,405

and he talked about the zen of like long

form chats and, and, and audio only.

177

05:51 ,405 --> 00:05:53,415

And some people's like, no, you

have to have little clips of video.

178

05:53 ,415 --> 00:05:53,775

I'm like, no.

179

05:53 ,775 --> 00:05:55,815

I kinda like the, you

know, theater of the mind.

180

05:55 ,815 --> 00:05:57,255

You could do it on a road trip or

181

05:57 ,735 --> 00:05:58,485

Annalise Basso: it's an art.

182

05:58 ,815 --> 00:06:02,835

I remember when we first started coming

out to LA we would get really, my

183

06:02 ,835 --> 00:06:07,185

family would get really excited when

we'd get a, a car that had Sirius XM

184

06:07 ,395 --> 00:06:11,060

and we'd go to the old radio channel

that they have play these Oh, okay.

185

06:11 ,230 --> 00:06:15,765

Radio shows from, I don't

know, way back when and.

186

06:16 ,229 --> 00:06:16,530

I don't know.

187

06:16 ,530 --> 00:06:20,070

There's definitely an art to it, to create

a whole world and transport someone.

188

06:20 ,070 --> 00:06:22,260

We're so heavily reliant on like, visuals

189

06:22 ,440 --> 00:06:22,620

Marc Preston: stuff.

190

06:22 ,650 --> 00:06:22,739

Yeah.

191

06:22 ,739 --> 00:06:24,390

It's, it's a, something

a little more organic.

192

06:24 ,390 --> 00:06:24,630

I don't know.

193

06:24 ,630 --> 00:06:27,570

I kinda like the audio thing, but

the video also, I'm a little lazy,

194

06:27 ,570 --> 00:06:29,039

the whole editing process on that.

195

06:29 ,039 --> 00:06:32,340

It would be just, you know, I'm, I mean,

I'm pretending like I'm philosophical, but

196

06:32 ,340 --> 00:06:33,690

I'm probably just more lazy than anything.

197

06:33 ,780 --> 00:06:36,090

Um, but, uh, but no.

198

06:36 Life in LA and Family Dynamics

06:36 ,090 --> 00:06:37,265

So how long have you been in la?

199

06:37 ,864 --> 00:06:39,570

Annalise Basso: I have been in la so yes.

200

06:39 ,630 --> 00:06:41,669

Although I do hail from Missouri.

201

06:41 ,669 --> 00:06:45,450

I came out here, I started coming

out here when I was eight or nine,

202

06:45 ,780 --> 00:06:47,729

and then was here from nine to 18.

203

06:48 ,090 --> 00:06:53,789

And then, yeah, I, I did high school

and all that, finished that, and then

204

06:54 ,330 --> 00:06:56,130

I just went wherever work took me.

205

06:56 ,130 --> 00:06:59,190

And I lived and worked part-time

in Vancouver while I was on snow

206

06:59 ,190 --> 00:07:04,679

Piercer, uh, Colorado over COVID

New York over the last couple years.

207

07:04 ,679 --> 00:07:09,479

And I just moved back to LA about a year

and a half, almost two years ago actually.

208

07:10 ,049 --> 00:07:10,080

Marc Preston: Okay.

209

07:10 ,080 --> 00:07:10,784

This month it'll be here.

210

07:10 ,784 --> 00:07:12,059

So where, where were you in Colorado?

211

07:13 ,080 --> 00:07:14,909

Annalise Basso: Carbondale,

a small mountain town.

212

07:14 ,940 --> 00:07:15,120

Okay.

213

07:15 ,120 --> 00:07:15,121

Okay.

214

07:15 ,165 --> 00:07:15,225

Yeah.

215

07:16 ,065 --> 00:07:16,665

Marc Preston: Yeah, I did.

216

07:16 ,665 --> 00:07:17,295

I love Colorado.

217

07:17 ,295 --> 00:07:21,675

My, a lot of my family is, uh, in

the Denver, or was it Aurora area?

218

07:22 ,005 --> 00:07:22,510

Um, I love that.

219

07:22 ,605 --> 00:07:23,175

I loved it out there.

220

07:23 ,175 --> 00:07:23,535

Annalise Basso: Aurora

221

07:23 ,655 --> 00:07:24,225

Marc Preston: Snow Pierce.

222

07:24 ,225 --> 00:07:25,725

There's another one I wanna watch.

223

07:25 ,785 --> 00:07:28,935

Uh, I kind of figure I gotta watch

the movie first and then I'll start

224

07:28 ,935 --> 00:07:31,725

watching this series, but I have

this long, I don't know about you.

225

07:31 ,725 --> 00:07:34,425

I got a long list of things I

haven't seen yet that I'm like,

226

07:34 ,785 --> 00:07:35,205

Annalise Basso: oh, same.

227

07:35 ,205 --> 00:07:35,235

I

228

07:35 ,415 --> 00:07:36,675

Marc Preston: really wanna see, you know?

229

07:37 Childhood and Early Career

07:37 ,065 --> 00:07:40,395

Uh, but did you do the whole Disney

Channel thing, or, or Nickelodeon,

230

07:40 ,395 --> 00:07:43,455

or did you do the, uh, young kid

actor thing, or were you doing more

231

07:43 ,455 --> 00:07:44,805

commercial work when you were younger?

232

07:45 ,430 --> 00:07:46,150

Annalise Basso: I did not.

233

07:47 ,270 --> 00:07:50,415

I don't, I mean, my brother

was on an episode of iCarly.

234

07:50 ,415 --> 00:07:52,455

My sister was on an episode of iCarly.

235

07:52 ,845 --> 00:07:56,505

And I, I just never, I never had my shot.

236

07:58 ,455 --> 00:08:00,735

Marc Preston: Well, no, you know

something though, you know, although

237

08:00 ,735 --> 00:08:03,465

if you've been doing, if you did

commercials, that's actually where

238

08:03 ,465 --> 00:08:04,785

the money's at when you're younger.

239

08:04 ,785 --> 00:08:05,265

I think.

240

08:05 ,265 --> 00:08:06,015

You know, like True.

241

08:06 ,285 --> 00:08:07,605

Annalise Basso: That's what

got my brother started.

242

08:07 ,605 --> 00:08:10,335

I did a, I think a KFC commercial

or something, and he was like, Hey,

243

08:10 ,340 --> 00:08:11,595

how, how much did you make on that?

244

08:11 ,595 --> 00:08:14,745

And he was 13 at the time

and that's when he started.

245

08:14 ,745 --> 00:08:18,795

He was like, alright, throw

my hat out in the ring.

246

08:19 ,455 --> 00:08:21,855

Marc Preston: Yeah, I, I kinda like

your retro headphones you got on there.

247

08:21 ,855 --> 00:08:24,825

That's kinda like, kind of reminds,

it kind of reminds me of the old, you

248

08:24 ,825 --> 00:08:29,355

know, Sony Walkman, sorry, I'm showing

my age here with little foam, like,

249

08:29 ,355 --> 00:08:32,170

you know, thing that was like the jam

back then, you know, it was the jam.

250

08:32 ,170 --> 00:08:33,525

It's got a little retro ish look.

251

08:33 ,525 --> 00:08:34,065

I dig that.

252

08:35 ,174 --> 00:08:35,775

Annalise Basso: Um, these

are, these are cool.

253

08:35 ,775 --> 00:08:37,005

They're from a company.

254

08:37 ,005 --> 00:08:40,784

They did a, uh, a company that I like

called Brain Dead, did a collaboration

255

08:40 ,784 --> 00:08:43,155

with a, I don't know, a tech.

256

08:44 ,385 --> 00:08:48,405

Tech, tech technical, I don't

know, just like an audio brand.

257

08:48 ,405 --> 00:08:48,464

Yeah.

258

08:49 ,064 --> 00:08:52,694

And um, I'm not gonna try to pronounce

it 'cause it's like ai, ai, ai.

259

08:52 ,694 --> 00:08:54,135

I don't dunno if it's all one word.

260

08:54 ,135 --> 00:08:56,925

I know I, I'm not as cool

as I present myself to be as

261

08:56 ,925 --> 00:08:58,155

these headphones make me seem.

262

08:58 ,155 --> 00:08:58,515

It's,

263

08:58 ,694 --> 00:08:59,290

Marc Preston: oh, I'm

not cool, cool enough.

264

08:59 ,655 --> 00:08:59,775

All the

265

08:59 ,775 --> 00:09:00,314

Annalise Basso: illusion

266

09:01 ,244 --> 00:09:03,464

Marc Preston: if Ikea made

headphones, that's kind of what

267

09:03 ,464 --> 00:09:04,484

I think they would look like.

268

09:04 ,755 --> 00:09:07,334

You know, it's kind of,

got's got a cool vibe to it.

269

09:07 ,905 --> 00:09:08,175

Um,

270

09:08 ,175 --> 00:09:08,625

Annalise Basso: thank you.

271

09:08 ,895 --> 00:09:11,324

Marc Preston: Yeah, I, I'd use these

little in ear things 'cause it's

272

09:11 ,324 --> 00:09:14,444

just working in voiceover for so

long, having headphones on for a long

273

09:14 ,444 --> 00:09:15,675

time, it gets kind of hot and I get

274

09:15 ,765 --> 00:09:16,125

Annalise Basso: fair,

275

09:16 ,214 --> 00:09:16,545

Marc Preston: you know,

276

09:16 ,694 --> 00:09:18,314

Annalise Basso: that's why I like

these because they're lighter.

277

09:18 ,375 --> 00:09:21,104

I, and yeah, I guess if they were

Ikea we could call them something

278

09:21 ,104 --> 00:09:25,275

like, hi, hi bo Clown Club.

279

09:27 ,614 --> 00:09:28,305

Marc Preston: Well, it's right off the

280

09:28 ,305 --> 00:09:28,665

Annalise Basso: tongue.

281

09:29 ,714 --> 00:09:30,974

Marc Preston: Where's your,

where are your people?

282

09:30 ,974 --> 00:09:31,364

Where are they?

283

09:31 ,364 --> 00:09:33,314

Where do they originate from originally?

284

09:33 ,555 --> 00:09:34,724

Annalise Basso: I have no idea.

285

09:34 ,964 --> 00:09:39,645

I mean, my mom did one of those, an

ancestral tests, but I don't know.

286

09:39 ,704 --> 00:09:41,354

I, my dad.

287

09:42 ,030 --> 00:09:45,900

His side is Italian, Northern Italian,

you know, the paler part of Italy.

288

09:46 ,290 --> 00:09:50,459

And then mom, the only thing

that I remember her telling me

289

09:50 ,459 --> 00:09:54,360

about her ancestral test was 72%

Scandinavian on her mother's side.

290

09:54 ,600 --> 00:09:57,990

So, I don't know, I'm thinking

Scottish, British, Irish.

291

09:58 ,530 --> 00:09:59,655

But who's to say

292

10:00 ,240 --> 00:10:01,170

Marc Preston: I did that also?

293

10:01 ,170 --> 00:10:02,370

And I, it was very interesting.

294

10:02 ,370 --> 00:10:06,390

'cause I'm, I, I am Jewish, but

most of half of my family is

295

10:06 ,435 --> 00:10:08,400

uh, uh, Ukrainian and Israeli.

296

10:08 ,459 --> 00:10:12,150

The other half, and I found this

out, I'm like, one quarter Scottish.

297

10:12 ,180 --> 00:10:13,710

So it's like, oh wow.

298

10:13 ,710 --> 00:10:14,339

Jewish, Scottish.

299

10:14 ,339 --> 00:10:14,490

Yeah.

300

10:14 ,490 --> 00:10:18,569

So I thought, and I really dug deep

into it and I found it that on one

301

10:18 ,569 --> 00:10:23,189

side of my family got here in 1907, the

other side, uh, financed the Mayflower.

302

10:23 ,189 --> 00:10:24,150

I'm like, woo, wait a minute.

303

10:24 ,150 --> 00:10:24,390

I'm og

304

10:24 ,780 --> 00:10:25,170

Annalise Basso: what?

305

10:26 ,415 --> 00:10:27,975

Marc Preston: They even had

a castle and the whole deal.

306

10:27 ,975 --> 00:10:31,965

There was a handful of people who

financed, uh, the Mayflower to come

307

10:31 ,965 --> 00:10:33,015

over here, and they were one of them.

308

10:33 ,135 --> 00:10:33,525

That's well, okay.

309

10:33 ,740 --> 00:10:35,745

Annalise Basso: Now, now that

you've brought ancestors into

310

10:35 ,745 --> 00:10:37,185

it, I'm related to Jesse James.

311

10:37 ,185 --> 00:10:38,025

I know that much.

312

10:38 ,835 --> 00:10:39,045

Really?

313

10:39 ,045 --> 00:10:40,815

Jesse James and Patrick Henry.

314

10:40 ,815 --> 00:10:42,830

Or gimme death,

315

10:43 ,580 --> 00:10:44,690

Marc Preston: how relevant right now.

316

10:44 ,690 --> 00:10:45,525

So, uh, right.

317

10:45 ,825 --> 00:10:48,320

And I, and I discovered I had

a sister I didn't know, so

318

10:48 ,320 --> 00:10:49,160

that's a whole other thing.

319

10:49 ,160 --> 00:10:49,760

Ancestors, Marc.

320

10:50 ,150 --> 00:10:50,600

No joke.

321

10:50 ,690 --> 00:10:51,170

Yeah.

322

10:51 ,230 --> 00:10:57,200

And it was really funny because I, I

know it was, she was born, uh, about

323

10:57 ,200 --> 00:11:00,200

nine months after I went to summer camp

when I was like eight or nine years old.

324

11:00 ,200 --> 00:11:02,480

So I think I know what

happened, uh, during that.

325

11:02 ,600 --> 00:11:04,520

Uh, it's, it's a whole thing.

326

11:04 ,520 --> 00:11:04,521

How

327

11:04 ,526 --> 00:11:05,445

Annalise Basso: long

were you at summer camp?

328

11:06 ,835 --> 00:11:08,060

Marc Preston: Long enough, apparently.

329

11:09 ,110 --> 00:11:09,710

Let's be honest.

330

11:09 ,710 --> 00:11:10,490

It doesn't take that long.

331

11:10 ,850 --> 00:11:14,720

Um, but keeping it PG 13, but

no, it was really interesting.

332

11:14 ,720 --> 00:11:18,230

So we actually met her and stuff, so

I grew up as an only kid and then my

333

11:18 ,230 --> 00:11:23,480

father remarried somebody much younger

when I was 30 and I had a little sister,

334

11:23 ,480 --> 00:11:26,030

so I got like, you know, I grew up

as an only kid wishing I had family,

335

11:26 ,030 --> 00:11:27,525

but I had went, or I guess I got.

336

11:27 ,950 --> 00:11:30,350

Like siblings in the most

roundabout way possible.

337

11:30 ,410 --> 00:11:31,040

But, uh mm-hmm.

338

11:31 ,460 --> 00:11:34,100

Outside of the dog, the dog is my

closest sibling, I guess, when I was a

339

11:34 ,100 --> 00:11:34,190

Annalise Basso: kid.

340

11:34 ,460 --> 00:11:34,490

Oh.

341

11:34 ,790 --> 00:11:37,220

Marc Preston: Uh, so do you have

any pets, uh, at, at home with you?

342

11:37 ,340 --> 00:11:39,170

Annalise Basso: I do, I have two cats.

343

11:39 ,260 --> 00:11:40,880

And where are they?

344

11:40 ,885 --> 00:11:43,820

They're, they usually harass me

whenever I'm doing anything important.

345

11:43 ,820 --> 00:11:47,090

Whenever I'm taping an audition, you

know, they sit at my feet or like,

346

11:47 ,090 --> 00:11:54,710

they, they have a very acute awareness

of when to meow and, you know, crawl

347

11:54 ,710 --> 00:11:55,970

all over my computer and all that.

348

11:55 ,970 --> 00:11:57,980

So, but they, they, they

seem to be at peace.

349

11:57 ,980 --> 00:11:59,055

I don't know where.

350

11:59 ,055 --> 00:11:59,710

They're very, very nice.

351

12:00 ,165 --> 00:12:01,515

Marc Preston: I'm, I'm,

you know, I'm fascinated.

352

12:01 ,515 --> 00:12:02,805

What is that bar thing behind you?

353

12:02 ,805 --> 00:12:05,775

Is that like a ballet thing

or a Yes, it's a ballet bar.

354

12:05 ,985 --> 00:12:07,335

Oh, that's how I thought it was.

355

12:07 ,335 --> 00:12:08,265

You're, I'm sorry.

356

12:08 ,265 --> 00:12:09,645

It's like, maybe it's a DH, adhd.

357

12:09 ,645 --> 00:12:12,795

I don't know, but I'm sitting there

going so that I'm studying this going.

358

12:12 ,795 --> 00:12:14,715

That seems like one of

those ballet things.

359

12:14 ,720 --> 00:12:16,875

Annalise Basso: Yes, it is just cat.

360

12:17 ,445 --> 00:12:18,430

There's like a cardboard.

361

12:18 ,580 --> 00:12:19,070

Exactly.

362

12:19 ,070 --> 00:12:19,750

Is that a cat house?

363

12:20 ,165 --> 00:12:22,465

Yes, it's, it's Marc.

364

12:24 ,255 --> 00:12:25,065

Marc Preston: What is that again?

365

12:25 ,565 --> 00:12:27,760

Annalise Basso: An it's a

KAA sushi house for the cats.

366

12:27 ,910 --> 00:12:29,050

Marc Preston: Ooh, how cool is su?

367

12:29 ,050 --> 00:12:32,440

So you got some, you got some, uh, you,

you got some high-end cats going on there.

368

12:32 ,890 --> 00:12:35,410

Yeah, they makes me feel bad.

369

12:35 ,410 --> 00:12:37,960

I gave a dog pizza crust

a couple days ago, so, no,

370

12:37 ,960 --> 00:12:40,210

Annalise Basso: it's su no, it's,

no, that's, they, they eat, they

371

12:40 ,210 --> 00:12:42,100

eat pretty boring, healthy food.

372

12:42 ,100 --> 00:12:42,790

A pizza crust.

373

12:42 ,790 --> 00:12:44,500

I'm sure they'd enjoy a pizza crust.

374

12:44 ,530 --> 00:12:45,220

My cats, but,

375

12:45 ,700 --> 00:12:47,440

Marc Preston: well, I was, I

was curious, does your brother

376

12:47 ,440 --> 00:12:49,480

live in the LA area as well?

377

12:49 ,480 --> 00:12:49,690

Uh, no.

378

12:49 ,690 --> 00:12:52,360

Did your family migrate there or

do they stay in the St. Louis area?

379

12:52 ,450 --> 00:12:55,030

Annalise Basso: So we're all

spread out all over the country.

380

12:55 ,030 --> 00:12:57,280

And he's currently moving all around.

381

12:57 ,280 --> 00:12:58,420

I mean, he's working so much.

382

12:58 ,420 --> 00:13:01,450

I think they're, I don't know how

much I'm allowed to say about what

383

13:01 ,540 --> 00:13:02,860

he's doing, what he is working on.

384

13:02 ,980 --> 00:13:03,160

Marc Preston: Oh, that's okay.

385

13:03 ,700 --> 00:13:06,760

Annalise Basso: But, um,

yeah, he is everywhere.

386

13:06 ,850 --> 00:13:11,260

And my sister, she's in Florida

with her husband and then mom is in

387

13:11 ,260 --> 00:13:13,690

Tennessee and dad is in the woods.

388

13:15 ,295 --> 00:13:16,020

Marc Preston: Dad's Wait.

389

13:16 ,080 --> 00:13:18,270

Dad's is, is he, is he like

390

13:18 ,275 --> 00:13:18,605

Annalise Basso: cabin?

391

13:18 ,810 --> 00:13:19,680

Cabin in the woods.

392

13:19 ,685 --> 00:13:19,965

Marc Preston: Okay.

393

13:19 ,970 --> 00:13:20,250

Okay.

394

13:20 ,250 --> 00:13:23,100

So I didn't know if he was just sort

of like, you know, uh, going like

395

13:23 ,160 --> 00:13:26,340

Grizzly Adams into the woods, or if

he's just kinda like he set up a place.

396

13:26 ,400 --> 00:13:27,210

Oh, that's very cool.

397

13:27 ,870 --> 00:13:29,220

I've always, I was thinking about that.

398

13:29 ,220 --> 00:13:31,020

I was speaking to somebody the

other day, it's like, what would

399

13:31 ,020 --> 00:13:32,700

be the optimal situation for me?

400

13:33 ,090 --> 00:13:35,940

I said I'd be having some land or

maybe living in the woods, and that's

401

13:35 ,940 --> 00:13:39,000

cool, but I'm like, I'm a beach guy

and I like to be near the beach, so.

402

13:39 ,000 --> 00:13:39,090

Oh, yeah.

403

13:39 ,240 --> 00:13:42,270

Now are you the, I gotta say, are

you the only redhead in your family?

404

13:42 ,630 --> 00:13:45,360

Annalise Basso: No, my

mom's a redhead dad.

405

13:45 ,690 --> 00:13:47,070

I mean, he was strawberry blonde.

406

13:47 ,070 --> 00:13:47,805

It's mostly gray now.

407

13:48 ,115 --> 00:13:48,405

Okay.

408

13:48 ,405 --> 00:13:53,670

But sister, she has hair, like

sleeping beauty, but with a hint of

409

13:53 ,670 --> 00:13:55,380

strawberry, like strawberry gold.

410

13:55 ,830 --> 00:13:58,560

And then brother is more auburn.

411

13:58 ,890 --> 00:14:00,480

But I, I would say I have the.

412

14:00 ,885 --> 00:14:02,055

The most flaming red.

413

14:02 ,055 --> 00:14:02,355

I think you're,

414

14:02 ,355 --> 00:14:06,465

Marc Preston: I think the Italian, uh,

line, the Italian DNA kind of came in.

415

14:06 ,645 --> 00:14:08,750

Your brother seems to have that, you know?

416

14:08 ,750 --> 00:14:08,895

Uh, yeah.

417

14:09 ,795 --> 00:14:11,985

'cause he, he's got that,

he's got that, uh, look.

418

14:12 ,375 --> 00:14:14,895

Did, uh, uh, night agent,

did that get picked up again?

419

14:14 ,895 --> 00:14:15,435

I know.

420

14:15 ,555 --> 00:14:20,445

Was it I always could conflate night agent

and, um, oh, there was another one where,

421

14:20 ,625 --> 00:14:23,115

uh, there was another Netflix show is, um.

422

14:23 ,510 --> 00:14:23,600

God.

423

14:23 ,600 --> 00:14:23,660

You

424

14:24 ,350 --> 00:14:25,485

Annalise Basso: talking

about with Eddie Redman?

425

14:25 ,665 --> 00:14:27,200

Marc Preston: That's, that,

that, oh, the peacock thing?

426

14:27 ,200 --> 00:14:32,300

No, the, uh, no, this is, uh,

where he is the, the recruit.

427

14:32 ,330 --> 00:14:32,990

The recruit.

428

14:32 ,990 --> 00:14:36,530

That's what it ed where the guy is

recruited, uh, into the ccia A to be

429

14:36 ,530 --> 00:14:38,780

a, uh, uh, an attorney or something.

430

14:38 ,780 --> 00:14:42,140

I think one of them didn't get picked up

for the next season and one of them did.

431

14:42 ,140 --> 00:14:43,700

Do you know if night

agent's coming back or I,

432

14:45 ,200 --> 00:14:47,180

Annalise Basso: maybe you should

call the night agent line.

433

14:47 ,180 --> 00:14:47,900

Ask my brother.

434

14:48 ,290 --> 00:14:48,740

Oh.

435

14:48 ,740 --> 00:14:48,741

Oh,

436

14:49 ,310 --> 00:14:51,080

Marc Preston: that was

great promotion right there.

437

14:51 ,080 --> 00:14:51,350

Thank you.

438

14:51 ,350 --> 00:14:51,710

I like that.

439

14:51 ,710 --> 00:14:53,925

That was a, that was a nice

segue because I actually

440

14:54 ,135 --> 00:14:55,580

Annalise Basso: dunno, I dunno,

441

14:56 ,360 --> 00:14:58,460

Marc Preston: was this something

growing up you were, like, with your

442

14:58 ,460 --> 00:15:02,810

brother, like, you know, was the

theater part of your life when you

443

15:02 ,810 --> 00:15:06,800

were a kid or, or acting, or was this

something that y all just kind of

444

15:06 ,830 --> 00:15:08,450

independently found your way into?

445

15:09 ,260 --> 00:15:11,569

Annalise Basso: Well, my sister.

446

15:12 ,255 --> 00:15:14,775

She, she was, you know, a model.

447

15:14 ,775 --> 00:15:20,895

She's the beauty of the family and she was

doing her thing back in St. Louis, and I

448

15:20 ,895 --> 00:15:24,704

would tag along with older sister to these

little local St. Louis fashion shows.

449

15:25 ,275 --> 00:15:30,645

And at one of those, an agent

approached my mom and she asked if

450

15:30 ,645 --> 00:15:32,834

her girls would be interested in

trying this out for a little bit.

451

15:32 ,834 --> 00:15:34,755

And so she talked it over with my dad.

452

15:35 ,025 --> 00:15:37,125

My dad, who's a very pragmatic lawyer.

453

15:37 ,425 --> 00:15:40,155

Just said, you know, as long as

it doesn't inter interfere with

454

15:40 ,155 --> 00:15:41,775

their schooling and all that.

455

15:41 ,775 --> 00:15:46,875

So then we started booking locally and

we just started this and started making

456

15:46 ,905 --> 00:15:54,675

money and, uh, it was more of a lucrative

career choice to pursue this full-time.

457

15:54 ,675 --> 00:15:57,105

It wasn't, oh, we're all enjoying this.

458

15:57 ,105 --> 00:16:00,255

It was, oh, this, they could

actually have a future in this.

459

16:00 ,255 --> 00:16:04,125

And so my mom and my dad were

very strategic about the way they.

460

16:04 ,719 --> 00:16:08,140

Supported our career because it

wasn't about, oh, well they booked

461

16:08 ,140 --> 00:16:10,930

a couple jobs, let's, you know, pick

up our lives, move out to la mm-hmm.

462

16:11 ,199 --> 00:16:14,560

It was all very dependent

upon, we took baby steps.

463

16:14 ,859 --> 00:16:19,030

And I think if you, I don't know for

any parents out there who have children

464

16:19 ,030 --> 00:16:23,650

who wanna be actors, it's, and who are

talented, I don't know, just baby steps.

465

16:24 ,099 --> 00:16:24,594

Um mm-hmm.

466

16:24 ,675 --> 00:16:27,219

Because this has become my whole life.

467

16:27 ,219 --> 00:16:30,160

And there was a time where it felt

like, oh, how did this even happen?

468

16:30 ,160 --> 00:16:31,300

How did I even get here?

469

16:31 ,300 --> 00:16:37,119

And, uh, you know, in, in high school

I was balancing, balancing a full-time

470

16:37 ,119 --> 00:16:41,140

professional career as an actress

and then a full-time academic career.

471

16:41 ,650 --> 00:16:44,229

Marc Preston: But did you finish up high

school, like regular high school, or did

472

16:44 ,229 --> 00:16:45,880

you just kind of segue out into graduat?

473

16:45 ,880 --> 00:16:46,359

You did finish high school.

474

16:46 ,714 --> 00:16:46,915

Graduated

475

16:46 ,915 --> 00:16:47,194

Annalise Basso: distinction.

476

16:47 ,305 --> 00:16:47,594

Yeah.

477

16:47 ,800 --> 00:16:52,839

I got my, what is it, GEDI got my GED

and then I, I wanted to get my diploma,

478

16:52 ,839 --> 00:16:54,280

so I just continued going to school.

479

16:54 ,609 --> 00:16:59,500

And I have, I loved my teachers

and so I had continued going to

480

16:59 ,500 --> 00:17:02,469

school and got my diploma and then.

481

17:03 ,195 --> 00:17:09,135

It was really only until recently that

I have decided that this is my destiny,

482

17:09 ,194 --> 00:17:15,135

not just my career or a hobby or just

something that I am, that I like to do.

483

17:15 ,135 --> 00:17:17,715

It is, it's something that

I've become passionate about

484

17:17 ,715 --> 00:17:19,694

and fearless about pursuing.

485

17:19 ,694 --> 00:17:23,595

And that's, that's just, that's very new

all within the last couple years, I'd say.

486

17:23 ,925 --> 00:17:26,655

Marc Preston: Could you imagine

yourself doing anything else or

487

17:26 ,655 --> 00:17:29,715

what, what, was there anything

growing up or even recently where

488

17:29 ,715 --> 00:17:31,335

you said, you know, this turns me on.

489

17:31 ,335 --> 00:17:35,505

I could, I could do that thing also,

or was the acting thing just kind of,

490

17:35 ,685 --> 00:17:37,515

were you funneling right into this?

491

17:37 ,515 --> 00:17:37,725

Okay.

492

17:37 ,725 --> 00:17:39,255

The acting thing is the thing for me,

493

17:39 ,735 --> 00:17:43,425

Annalise Basso: I wanna do it all,

which is why acting is such a great

494

17:44 ,535 --> 00:17:48,915

career for me because with each

role you get to explore different

495

17:48 ,915 --> 00:17:51,375

parts of yourself and with Captain.

496

17:51 ,375 --> 00:17:52,095

Fantastic.

497

17:52 ,755 --> 00:17:56,535

For example, I had, I mean, the

director put us through a nature

498

17:56 ,535 --> 00:18:00,735

survivalist bootcamp in the foothills

of the Cascade Mountain Range, really?

499

18:00 ,735 --> 00:18:02,715

And I got to do, uh.

500

18:03 ,765 --> 00:18:05,625

Archery lessons and yoga lessons.

501

18:05 ,625 --> 00:18:06,765

I hadn't done yoga before.

502

18:06 ,765 --> 00:18:12,075

I mean, I was 14 years old and I

was just like encouraged to just

503

18:12 ,135 --> 00:18:15,855

read all these books that I wasn't

even reading at school at the time.

504

18:16 ,305 --> 00:18:23,415

And I don't know, it just acting, I

think is a practice of what or is a

505

18:23 ,415 --> 00:18:25,065

study on like the human experience.

506

18:25 ,065 --> 00:18:30,285

And by pursuing that as a full-time job,

my job as an artist is to try to gather

507

18:30 ,285 --> 00:18:32,295

as many of those experiences as I can.

508

18:32 ,535 --> 00:18:37,935

So when I'm not working, I mean, I, I

teach ballet, uh, to, you know, these

509

18:37 ,935 --> 00:18:42,015

little girls at the figure skating rink

where I first started, uh, I was figure

510

18:42 ,015 --> 00:18:46,425

skating competitively at the time and then

I chose to focus more on ballet 'cause I

511

18:46 ,425 --> 00:18:48,765

fell in love with my, my ballet teacher.

512

18:48 ,765 --> 00:18:51,285

Not in that way, but I

just loved her teaching.

513

18:52 ,755 --> 00:18:54,945

And we still dance to this day.

514

18:54 ,945 --> 00:18:57,915

I mean, in her, in the laundry

room with her apartment building

515

18:58 ,485 --> 00:19:00,735

because I knew I wasn't gonna

be professional, but I loved it.

516

19:01 ,320 --> 00:19:07,320

And, um, I mean, I do Muay Thai because

I think it's important to learn, know

517

19:07 ,320 --> 00:19:10,800

how to defend yourself, but also I

wanna be a fighter in a movie one day.

518

19:10 ,800 --> 00:19:13,920

I wanna know what it is to train

and put in the hours, and I'm,

519

19:13 ,920 --> 00:19:17,790

I'm just trying to gather as many

experiences as I can and exploit life.

520

19:17 ,790 --> 00:19:21,270

Marc Preston: It, it sounds like, kinda

like, you want the authentic experience

521

19:21 ,270 --> 00:19:24,389

as opposed to playing, like, you kind of

wanna put the shoes on and you wanna do

522

19:24 ,389 --> 00:19:26,700

the thing before you play it on camera.

523

19:26 ,774 --> 00:19:27,595

Annalise Basso: You're, you're right.

524

19:27 ,899 --> 00:19:28,920

You're exactly right.

525

19:28 ,920 --> 00:19:33,540

And I, I mean, I just wanna

experience as much as I can.

526

19:35 ,010 --> 00:19:37,170

Marc Preston: So, is there, well,

going back, captain Fantas, I'm a big

527

19:37 ,170 --> 00:19:40,830

fan of Vigo Mortenson and, uh, uh,

Steve Za was in that also, wasn't he?

528

19:40 ,875 --> 00:19:41,095

Annalise Basso: Yes.

529

19:41 ,370 --> 00:19:41,760

Yes.

530

19:41 ,879 --> 00:19:42,060

Marc Preston: Okay.

531

19:42 ,060 --> 00:19:43,860

Yeah, he's that love that guy.

532

19:44 ,010 --> 00:19:47,129

Was that your first film that

you had done, you know, something

533

19:47 ,129 --> 00:19:50,070

where, you know, you'd had a

more substantial part, let's say?

534

19:50 ,460 --> 00:19:54,180

Annalise Basso: I would say it

was my first role that, 'cause

535

19:54 ,180 --> 00:19:56,520

I mean, I had worked on Oculus.

536

19:57 ,405 --> 00:19:59,745

Several years prior to to Captain.

537

19:59 ,745 --> 00:20:00,435

Fantastic.

538

20:00 ,465 --> 00:20:03,735

And that was really one of those jobs.

539

20:04 ,005 --> 00:20:05,655

Oculus, and then I'll talk about Captain.

540

20:05 ,655 --> 00:20:06,165

Fantastic.

541

20:06 ,165 --> 00:20:10,545

But Oculus, I remember with working well,

working with Mike Flanagan and he treated

542

20:10 ,545 --> 00:20:16,995

me like an adult where usually on set

when you're in your teenage years, I think

543

20:16 ,995 --> 00:20:21,135

I was 13 at the time, and people don't

really know how to interact with you.

544

20:21 ,225 --> 00:20:26,025

And by that time I had already been

working on sets, um, since, yeah,

545

20:26 ,055 --> 00:20:28,815

for like five years and working with

adults, but people still, they don't

546

20:28 ,815 --> 00:20:31,695

know how to, they either treat you like

a toddler or treat you like you're 40.

547

20:32 ,265 --> 00:20:37,245

And here's, and here's this, this

incredible director Mike, he comes along

548

20:37 ,245 --> 00:20:41,175

and he's just like talking to me the same

way he was speaking with Karen Gillen.

549

20:41 ,175 --> 00:20:43,305

And there wasn't any hesitation or fear.

550

20:43 ,305 --> 00:20:48,255

There was just trust and respect

and, uh, to have that at such

551

20:48 ,255 --> 00:20:50,835

a young age was a huge gift.

552

20:51 ,450 --> 00:20:54,480

Especially on that set because

it was, I mean, it was a lot of

553

20:54 ,540 --> 00:20:56,580

heavy, heavy material, heavy stuff.

554

20:56 ,880 --> 00:21:03,420

And then Captain Fantastic came

along a few years later and that was

555

21:03 ,420 --> 00:21:08,580

honestly one of the first roles where

I actually had to do some research.

556

21:08 ,940 --> 00:21:10,230

You know, I, I mean,

557

21:10 ,625 --> 00:21:12,750

Marc Preston: how, how old were

you when you did, uh, captain?

558

21:12 ,750 --> 00:21:13,290

Fantastic.

559

21:13 ,290 --> 00:21:14,190

You were 14, I think.

560

21:14 ,190 --> 00:21:14,850

Is that what you said?

561

21:14 ,850 --> 00:21:14,940

I, so

562

21:15 ,960 --> 00:21:17,640

Annalise Basso: I must have

been younger when I did Oculus.

563

21:17 ,670 --> 00:21:18,000

I don't know.

564

21:18 ,000 --> 00:21:19,080

It's all kind of blurring together.

565

21:19 ,110 --> 00:21:20,490

'cause I, yeah, I was 14.

566

21:20 ,520 --> 00:21:22,830

I was 14 when I did Captain.

567

21:22 ,830 --> 00:21:23,460

Fantastic.

568

21:23 ,460 --> 00:21:26,760

And I probably 12 or 11 or 12 when I did

569

21:27 ,390 --> 00:21:27,420

Marc Preston: Oculus.

570

21:27 ,420 --> 00:21:30,150

And, and you played the younger

version of Karen Gillen, if

571

21:30 ,150 --> 00:21:31,230

I'm not mistaken, correct?

572

21:31 ,235 --> 00:21:31,830

Annalise Basso: Yes, yes.

573

21:31 ,860 --> 00:21:33,780

Marc Preston: Which is what

she's in the life of Chuck.

574

21:33 ,780 --> 00:21:35,520

So it's kind of a odd full circle.

575

21:36 ,000 --> 00:21:37,500

Thing for there with her.

576

21:37 ,500 --> 00:21:37,770

Yeah.

577

21:39 ,030 --> 00:21:40,080

Annalise Basso: Oc a mini Oculus reunion.

578

21:40 ,080 --> 00:21:40,800

That was so fun.

579

21:40 ,800 --> 00:21:40,860

Yeah.

580

21:41 ,730 --> 00:21:44,160

Marc Preston: Um, but yeah, I

think that, I remember being a

581

21:44 ,160 --> 00:21:46,800

kid and I, I always seemed to get

along pretty well with adults.

582

21:47 ,070 --> 00:21:49,889

It was always nice, the one just

sort of just talk to you like you're

583

21:49 ,889 --> 00:21:53,341

just one of them as opposed to,

well, bless your heart, you know?

584

21:53 ,346 --> 00:21:53,715

Mm-hmm.

585

21:53 ,795 --> 00:21:54,690

Like talking down to you.

586

21:54 ,690 --> 00:21:58,020

Um, I grew up in the south where bless

your heart can mean many different things.

587

21:58 ,020 --> 00:21:58,080

Yeah.

588

21:59 ,460 --> 00:22:00,840

Annalise Basso: It often

means the opposite.

589

22:01 ,075 --> 00:22:01,355

Bless

590

22:01 ,355 --> 00:22:02,160

Marc Preston: your, yeah.

591

22:10 ,080 --> 00:22:13,740

So as you're doing this, was it,

uh, was it embraced by your parents?

592

22:13 ,740 --> 00:22:16,350

Were they kinda like, okay, this

is cool, we're, we're all right

593

22:16 ,350 --> 00:22:18,750

with you Missing some school or

doing some traveling or kind of

594

22:18 ,750 --> 00:22:21,600

putting yourself in some situations

maybe you wouldn't normally be in?

595

22:21 ,900 --> 00:22:24,690

Were they cool with it

or were they cautious?

596

22:25 ,020 --> 00:22:25,620

Annalise Basso: Cautious.

597

22:25 ,620 --> 00:22:26,490

Very cautious.

598

22:26 ,850 --> 00:22:30,750

And yeah, again, yeah, cautious

and, and very strategic.

599

22:31 ,440 --> 00:22:36,150

Because my education was really

important to my dad and just, not

600

22:36 ,150 --> 00:22:39,600

even just education, like, oh, you

know, they have to go to college.

601

22:39 ,600 --> 00:22:41,220

They have to follow a traditional path.

602

22:41 ,490 --> 00:22:46,890

He just wanted to make sure that we had

all the tools, that this wasn't just a,

603

22:48 ,900 --> 00:22:50,400

I don't know, something secondary.

604

22:50 ,400 --> 00:22:57,180

He's, he's, he always, even his kids made

us organize our priorities and especially

605

22:57 ,180 --> 00:23:05,430

with something that demands so much of

your time and your life acting, he just

606

23:05 ,430 --> 00:23:11,130

wanted to make sure that we were, we were

pursuing it and they, uh, in a wise way.

607

23:11 ,910 --> 00:23:12,150

Marc Preston: I gotcha.

608

23:12 ,155 --> 00:23:14,070

Well, well, you said he was

an attorney or is an attorney.

609

23:14 ,070 --> 00:23:18,360

What, what kinda law, what, what, what

vocation within law does he practice?

610

23:18 ,360 --> 00:23:18,990

Annalise Basso: Civil litigation.

611

23:19 ,544 --> 00:23:20,715

Marc Preston: Civil litigation.

612

23:20 ,715 --> 00:23:20,835

Mm-hmm.

613

23:21 ,075 --> 00:23:22,575

So he's good at arguing basically.

614

23:23 ,145 --> 00:23:24,705

Annalise Basso: He is,

he's very good at arguing.

615

23:24 ,885 --> 00:23:25,155

Yeah.

616

23:25 ,649 --> 00:23:27,230

And he taught me to be good at it too.

617

23:28 ,544 --> 00:23:28,815

Marc Preston: No.

618

23:28 ,815 --> 00:23:32,355

Was your, was your mother, uh, or is your

mother, uh, does she work as well or did

619

23:32 ,355 --> 00:23:35,294

she, was she, did she have a career or was

she kind of focused on the kids at home?

620

23:35 ,685 --> 00:23:39,375

Annalise Basso: She was a computer

engineer and then she put her career

621

23:39 ,375 --> 00:23:41,145

in hold to become a full-time mother.

622

23:41 ,145 --> 00:23:48,524

And I mean, she's, she's really

smart as well, and she is

623

23:49 ,935 --> 00:23:54,284

where my dad was supporting us

logistically and financially.

624

23:54 ,315 --> 00:23:58,665

My mom was the boots on the

ground here in, uh, here in la.

625

23:58 ,905 --> 00:24:02,655

So while my dad stayed in St. Louis,

he continued working and he would

626

24:02 ,655 --> 00:24:04,784

come out and visit while he could.

627

24:05 ,534 --> 00:24:11,745

My mom was out here driving all of

us kids to auditions and I mean,

628

24:11 ,895 --> 00:24:14,685

three kids in the industry there.

629

24:14 ,685 --> 00:24:15,200

I mean, we didn't have.

630

24:16 ,125 --> 00:24:19,875

I remember she still had paper maps in

the car and we didn't have the garment.

631

24:19 ,965 --> 00:24:23,085

Like I remember when we would get a

Garmin, 'cause she's like, I just can't

632

24:23 ,085 --> 00:24:24,915

do it anymore because we were all going to

633

24:24 ,915 --> 00:24:25,245

Marc Preston: school.

634

24:25 ,275 --> 00:24:25,635

What was that?

635

24:25 ,635 --> 00:24:25,815

What was that thing?

636

24:25 ,815 --> 00:24:28,755

They had in la, in Dallas where I grew

up, they had something called Mapsco.

637

24:28 ,755 --> 00:24:31,935

In LA they had this thing,

it was a S spiral bound like.

638

24:32 ,465 --> 00:24:35,855

Book and it was laid out on a grid,

and then you could look up an address

639

24:35 ,855 --> 00:24:38,345

and you had to go to a certain

page and find the corresponding.

640

24:38 ,495 --> 00:24:39,425

There was a name for it.

641

24:39 ,425 --> 00:24:42,485

I know every, everybody seemed to

use that, you know, when they went

642

24:42 ,485 --> 00:24:44,915

for their au remember having to

drive around for your auditions.

643

24:45 Living at Oakwood and Stage Parents

24:45 ,274 --> 00:24:47,254

Now, did you live, did you have an

opportunity to live at, what was it

644

24:47 ,254 --> 00:24:49,325

called that the Oakwood whatever that uh,

645

24:49 ,325 --> 00:24:49,865

Annalise Basso: yes.

646

24:49 ,895 --> 00:24:50,764

Yes, I was there.

647

24:50 ,945 --> 00:24:52,055

Marc Preston: You did awesome.

648

24:52 ,235 --> 00:24:54,845

See, I envy I've, I've asked

a few folks, they're like, no,

649

24:54 ,845 --> 00:24:56,225

I had some friends over there.

650

24:56 ,615 --> 00:25:00,635

To me, it would be so much fun as a kid

to be living in a place with a bunch

651

25:00 ,635 --> 00:25:02,435

of other kids doing this odd thing.

652

25:02 ,629 --> 00:25:04,805

You, you got a tribe around you, you know?

653

25:04 ,805 --> 00:25:04,806

Mm-hmm.

654

25:04 ,870 --> 00:25:09,004

And so what was it like living there

that this, for those who, you know,

655

25:09 ,004 --> 00:25:09,815

if you're listening, don't know.

656

25:09 ,815 --> 00:25:13,955

It's basically an apartment complex,

which is populated, which is mostly

657

25:13 ,955 --> 00:25:15,305

furnished, if I'm not mistaken.

658

25:15 ,305 --> 00:25:18,875

And it's just kind of populated by

people in the industry coming out for.

659

25:19 ,140 --> 00:25:21,540

Pilot season or whatever, you know, or

660

25:21 ,900 --> 00:25:22,140

Annalise Basso: mm-hmm.

661

25:22 ,560 --> 00:25:24,390

Marc Preston: But I gotta, I

gotta know, what is it like living

662

25:24 ,390 --> 00:25:25,590

there with a bunch of other kids?

663

25:26 ,040 --> 00:25:28,650

Annalise Basso: Well, you said

tribe, and if it is a tribe,

664

25:28 ,650 --> 00:25:30,000

it's more like Lord of applies.

665

25:30 ,990 --> 00:25:31,860

Like, oh, really?

666

25:31 ,860 --> 00:25:31,920

Yeah.

667

25:32 ,790 --> 00:25:34,590

Marc Preston: I thought it'd be a

little bit more chill than that, but,

668

25:34 ,590 --> 00:25:36,270

so y'all are like, okay, I gotcha.

669

25:36 ,300 --> 00:25:37,230

Yeah, I mean, it's,

670

25:37 ,680 --> 00:25:41,640

Annalise Basso: it's very competitive

and it was, everybody has their,

671

25:41 ,790 --> 00:25:47,490

you know, cliques and I, I mean,

it's, the Oakwood was a wild place.

672

25:47 ,520 --> 00:25:48,300

It was a wild place,

673

25:48 ,300 --> 00:25:48,540

Marc Preston: really.

674

25:48 ,570 --> 00:25:48,840

Okay.

675

25:48 ,840 --> 00:25:51,360

I didn't envision it being a

wild place, so it was a bunch of

676

25:51 ,360 --> 00:25:54,900

like, you know, prepubescent kids

talking and the street stuff.

677

25:54 ,930 --> 00:25:57,870

See, that to me would be odd being at

the pool and having a bunch of little

678

25:57 ,870 --> 00:25:59,640

kids talking industry talk, you know?

679

25:59 ,645 --> 00:25:59,755

Mm-hmm.

680

25:59 ,855 --> 00:26:01,740

But what made it wild for you?

681

26:02 ,340 --> 00:26:02,550

Annalise Basso: Wild?

682

26:03 ,300 --> 00:26:03,900

Because were there like

683

26:03 ,900 --> 00:26:06,120

Marc Preston: parties, were

there things going into the pool?

684

26:06 ,120 --> 00:26:10,230

I mean, what was, or was it

just, uh, a lot of gossiping, a

685

26:10 ,230 --> 00:26:11,910

lot of, uh, drama kind of stuff.

686

26:12 ,375 --> 00:26:15,254

Annalise Basso: It was mostly, yeah.

687

26:15 ,285 --> 00:26:19,965

I mean, I remember these epic

games of, uh, what was it, sardines

688

26:20 ,145 --> 00:26:23,325

where we would play, I mean,

this is a huge apartment complex.

689

26:23 ,655 --> 00:26:29,475

And these kids, we would get

together and, uh, we would play

690

26:29 ,504 --> 00:26:31,155

s do you know the game sardines?

691

26:31 ,340 --> 00:26:31,940

I I was gonna

692

26:32 ,100 --> 00:26:34,275

Marc Preston: ask you what

sardines was or is, what is that?

693

26:34 ,514 --> 00:26:40,455

Annalise Basso: So you go, one person's

it, and you go and you try to find, uh,

694

26:40 ,514 --> 00:26:42,465

you, it's basically like hide and go seek.

695

26:42 ,975 --> 00:26:48,855

Only, uh, if you find someone,

I think you hide with them.

696

26:48 ,855 --> 00:26:54,315

I, it's been so long since I've played it,

so I, I mean, they were just epic games.

697

26:54 ,315 --> 00:26:56,025

And so there was comradery.

698

26:56 ,115 --> 00:26:57,465

At some points it's like.

699

26:58 ,215 --> 00:26:58,725

I don't know.

700

26:58 ,725 --> 00:27:03,615

I, when I say wild, I just mean we

would have these karaoke nights too.

701

27:03 ,675 --> 00:27:08,715

The, it was just filled with like stage

kids, stage parents, ah, and all the drama

702

27:08 ,715 --> 00:27:11,415

that that entails and karaoke nights.

703

27:11 ,745 --> 00:27:12,165

So wasn't like

704

27:12 ,165 --> 00:27:13,305

Marc Preston: any, like

bloodshed or anything.

705

27:13 ,305 --> 00:27:14,145

There was no bloodshed.

706

27:14 ,145 --> 00:27:15,495

It was just, you know, I gotcha.

707

27:15 ,510 --> 00:27:15,889

No, no, no.

708

27:16 ,245 --> 00:27:17,895

So the parents, of course, it definitely a

709

27:17 ,895 --> 00:27:18,105

Annalise Basso: hierarchy.

710

27:19 ,695 --> 00:27:23,504

Marc Preston: Well, here's the thing,

I, I, I, in coaching voiceover,

711

27:23 ,655 --> 00:27:26,445

uh, which I do, and I work with

some kids, you know, Disney channel

712

27:26 ,445 --> 00:27:27,705

kids occasionally, but mm-hmm.

713

27:27 ,945 --> 00:27:31,425

Um, you know, when you look at the young

kids whose parents are a little more,

714

27:31 ,425 --> 00:27:32,774

okay, this is their thing, it's cool.

715

27:32 ,895 --> 00:27:35,745

And then you have the parents that are

like living vicariously for their kids,

716

27:35 ,745 --> 00:27:38,024

the stage moms, you know, they kind of.

717

27:38 ,409 --> 00:27:40,090

They kind of scare me a little

bit, you know, 'cause they're

718

27:40 ,300 --> 00:27:41,590

living vicariously through the kid.

719

27:41 ,590 --> 00:27:41,770

Oh, scared.

720

27:42 ,264 --> 00:27:42,554

Yeah.

721

27:43 ,120 --> 00:27:48,129

You know, I was, uh, there was a show

on, on Netflix, uh, called, um, love.

722

27:48 ,129 --> 00:27:50,679

It was produced by a a, a Jet Appan.

723

27:51 ,159 --> 00:27:55,120

It was, um, actually, I think they

shot it at the Oakwood, uh, jet App's

724

27:55 ,389 --> 00:27:59,620

daughter played, um, a, a young actor

in a TV show, and the lead character,

725

27:59 ,620 --> 00:28:02,860

and I'm so sorry, I'm forgetting his

name, but he played an onset, uh, tutor.

726

28:03 ,220 --> 00:28:08,620

Mm. And it was like, you know, David Spade

played her father and her and an, I forgot

727

28:08 ,620 --> 00:28:11,230

who played her mother, but there was

this, this whole like, you know, 'cause

728

28:11 ,230 --> 00:28:12,699

there's a lot of money involved also.

729

28:12 ,699 --> 00:28:15,189

So it gets to be kind of weird

with like the parents, but the

730

28:15 ,189 --> 00:28:16,600

kids like, you know, I don't know.

731

28:16 ,600 --> 00:28:18,275

It's, you know, I'm kinda

glad I didn't have that money.

732

28:18 ,281 --> 00:28:19,990

Annalise Basso: Identity control.

733

28:20 ,320 --> 00:28:20,530

Identity.

734

28:20 ,530 --> 00:28:21,100

Marc Preston: Yeah.

735

28:21 ,159 --> 00:28:21,310

Yeah.

736

28:21 ,310 --> 00:28:21,639

Yeah.

737

28:21 ,645 --> 00:28:21,794

Mm-hmm.

738

28:22 ,270 --> 00:28:25,210

It sounds like you kind of escaped a lot

of that though, so that's, that's good.

739

28:25 ,554 --> 00:28:25,875

Annalise Basso: I did.

740

28:25 ,975 --> 00:28:31,060

And you know, I mean, my mother was

a, a stage mother in the best way.

741

28:31 ,179 --> 00:28:32,470

I, I mean, she.

742

28:33 ,315 --> 00:28:41,385

She was relentless when it came to

paving the path for my, my brother and

743

28:41 ,385 --> 00:28:45,705

my sister and I, and it's not easy.

744

28:45 ,855 --> 00:28:49,155

I, it's not easy being a kid out

here, but it's also not easy being

745

28:49 ,155 --> 00:28:53,925

a parent because ultimately, I mean,

you're the one when your child is

746

28:53 ,925 --> 00:28:57,975

underage to make the decision, who

is your child going to work with?

747

28:57 ,975 --> 00:29:00,195

What sets are they going to be on?

748

29:00 ,195 --> 00:29:04,515

And, um, what projects are good

for them, not only as an artist,

749

29:04 ,515 --> 00:29:05,955

but as just like a person.

750

29:06 ,675 --> 00:29:06,765

Mm-hmm.

751

29:07 ,065 --> 00:29:13,575

I, I mean, that's why I love, I I had to

have a couple years that just expanded

752

29:13 ,575 --> 00:29:19,245

my, my gratitude for the career that

I've had this far because it's easy to

753

29:19 ,245 --> 00:29:22,365

look back and be like, a lot of, a lot

of the times people ask me, well, don't

754

29:22 ,365 --> 00:29:23,895

you wish you had a normal childhood?

755

29:24 ,525 --> 00:29:30,255

And sometimes I look at how much time I

was actually able to spend at school and

756

29:30 ,255 --> 00:29:32,175

how I was killing myself on set trying to.

757

29:32 ,550 --> 00:29:38,100

Get all of my work done because once you

take the GED as well, I mean the set,

758

29:38 ,160 --> 00:29:41,550

the production no longer recognizes you

as a minor and they don't have mm-hmm.

759

29:41 ,550 --> 00:29:43,860

Provide a set tutor.

760

29:43 ,860 --> 00:29:47,100

They don't have to build in

time for your schooling on set.

761

29:47 ,100 --> 00:29:48,495

So Really, I mean, even if you're under

762

29:48 ,735 --> 00:29:51,030

Marc Preston: 18, they, they,

they like, they don't have to

763

29:51 ,360 --> 00:29:52,735

really, I didn't even, yeah.

764

29:52 ,740 --> 00:29:53,430

I never knew that.

765

29:53 ,460 --> 00:29:56,670

Now are you still, are the rules

still like they're limited in

766

29:56 ,670 --> 00:29:57,840

how much they can work you?

767

29:58 ,140 --> 00:29:58,410

No.

768

29:58 ,410 --> 00:30:01,295

Or once you have your GED, it's

open season to really open season

769

30:01 ,320 --> 00:30:02,160

Annalise Basso: legal adult.

770

30:02 ,160 --> 00:30:06,690

So I was, I was working adult hours,

I was taking also advanced course

771

30:06 ,720 --> 00:30:12,660

like APS and stuff in, in high school

and I didn't have a tutor and it was

772

30:12 ,660 --> 00:30:16,650

just, it was really difficult and

it pushed me to my, to my limits.

773

30:16 ,650 --> 00:30:21,780

But I'm also, I don't know, I think

suffering and those moments where

774

30:21 ,780 --> 00:30:23,520

you get to push yourself past.

775

30:24 ,510 --> 00:30:27,150

Push yourself beyond what you

think you're capable of and somehow

776

30:27 ,150 --> 00:30:32,550

stretch a 24 hour day to feel like,

I don't know, just break, break.

777

30:32 ,550 --> 00:30:36,720

The, the, the binds of time,

time is relative, right?

778

30:36 ,780 --> 00:30:36,870

Mm-hmm.

779

30:37 ,110 --> 00:30:39,925

I mean, I, we just blur,

believe me, I know that feeling.

780

30:40 ,875 --> 00:30:43,440

Marc Preston: It's just sort of like,

okay, how long till we just get this done?

781

30:43 ,440 --> 00:30:44,280

Are we in overtime?

782

30:44 ,280 --> 00:30:44,820

Fine.

783

30:44 ,850 --> 00:30:45,000

Okay.

784

30:45 ,000 --> 00:30:46,139

We just need to get this done.

785

30:46 ,200 --> 00:30:49,590

You know, the, the life of Chuck

though, I, I gotta, I gotta.

786

30:49 ,800 --> 00:30:52,110

Admit a little bit of, uh, casting envy.

787

30:52 ,530 --> 00:30:52,620

Mm-hmm.

788

30:52 ,860 --> 00:30:54,540

You know, you got to look,

work with Luke Skywalker.

789

30:54 ,540 --> 00:30:57,044

I think that's kind of

cool, you know, pretty cool.

790

30:57 ,050 --> 00:31:00,510

Um, the, uh, but also Nick

Offman, I, I gotta note, like,

791

31:00 ,510 --> 00:31:02,040

without giving anything away

792

31:02 ,340 --> 00:31:02,429

Annalise Basso: mm-hmm.

793

31:02 ,820 --> 00:31:06,360

Marc Preston: Generally, what's kind

of the premise and how did you plug

794

31:06 ,360 --> 00:31:10,649

in, uh, within the cast and, you know,

it's, it's, it's like even Matthew

795

31:10 ,649 --> 00:31:14,250

Lillard, you know, one of my exes

was, uh, she was like, is my ex-wife?

796

31:14 ,250 --> 00:31:15,479

She was like, you know, um.

797

31:15 ,775 --> 00:31:20,305

Only got one of them, but, uh, but

she was like, she was like, she, she's

798

31:20 ,305 --> 00:31:21,415

like, you remind me of Matthew Li.

799

31:21 ,415 --> 00:31:24,025

She had a crush on Matthew Lillard,

and she thought I looked sort of like

800

31:24 ,025 --> 00:31:27,445

him, which I don't see it, but I'm

like, every time I see Matthew Lillard,

801

31:27 ,450 --> 00:31:28,090

I'm going, I see it a little bit.

802

31:28 ,190 --> 00:31:28,610

Really?

803

31:28 ,640 --> 00:31:28,930

Yeah.

804

31:28 ,930 --> 00:31:29,130

Mm-hmm.

805

31:29 Discussing the Cast and Plot of the Movie

31:29 ,215 --> 00:31:29,275

Okay.

806

31:29 ,275 --> 00:31:33,775

Well she was al she was always just

like, she had a thing for him and, uh,

807

31:33 ,775 --> 00:31:37,045

she's like, oh, if you're gonna be acting

act in a movie with Matthew Lillard,

808

31:37 ,045 --> 00:31:38,245

you know, I was like, well, I'll try.

809

31:38 ,485 --> 00:31:38,755

You know?

810

31:39 ,295 --> 00:31:42,745

Um, but, but he's always been such

a cool, I mean, such a cool dude.

811

31:42 ,745 --> 00:31:43,045

I don't know.

812

31:43 ,105 --> 00:31:46,885

I just, it's a very intriguing cast,

like folks you wouldn't normally

813

31:46 ,885 --> 00:31:48,205

see showing up in a film together.

814

31:48 ,205 --> 00:31:50,365

But I'm really wanna know a little

bit more about it and kind of how

815

31:50 ,365 --> 00:31:52,135

you kinda, how you plugged into it.

816

31:52 ,945 --> 00:31:57,835

Annalise Basso: Well, it's about

this guy, Chuck and his wife.

817

31:57 ,835 --> 00:31:58,195

I'm kidding.

818

31:58 ,855 --> 00:32:00,295

No, it's, uh, there you go.

819

32:00 ,505 --> 00:32:01,135

Exactly.

820

32:01 ,525 --> 00:32:03,595

Uh, Chuck has.

821

32:04 ,740 --> 00:32:06,000

I think I'm allowed to say this.

822

32:06 ,000 --> 00:32:06,389

I don't know.

823

32:06 ,480 --> 00:32:06,870

We'll see.

824

32:06 ,870 --> 00:32:09,209

Ask, ask for forgiveness,

not for permission, right?

825

32:09 ,245 --> 00:32:09,659

I, I dunno.

826

32:10 Reflections on Life and Acting

32:10 ,260 --> 00:32:18,209

Um, so Chuck has cancer and it's

basically what his life looks like.

827

32:18 ,480 --> 00:32:22,620

What that, what those moments look like

right before you know, the end or is

828

32:22 ,620 --> 00:32:28,860

it the beginning or just what is it To

be human and experience the suffering

829

32:28 ,860 --> 00:32:30,540

and the joy and the hope of life.

830

32:30 ,540 --> 00:32:35,490

And it's really a movie about

hope and why, why we keep on, why

831

32:35 ,490 --> 00:32:39,149

we keep living despite suffering

and chaos and all of that.

832

32:39 ,389 --> 00:32:40,889

Just a reason to keep moving forward.

833

32:41 ,730 --> 00:32:41,939

Marc Preston: Yeah.

834

32:41 ,939 --> 00:32:43,199

That's, that's kinda life right there.

835

32:43 ,199 --> 00:32:46,560

You know, certain things happen, positive,

negative, you start seeing things

836

32:46 ,560 --> 00:32:48,480

through a different prism, you know?

837

32:48 ,480 --> 00:32:48,570

Mm-hmm.

838

32:48 ,810 --> 00:32:51,659

Like just, and that's the,

to me of acting movies, uh.

839

32:52 ,034 --> 00:32:55,905

Uh, our films and, and TV is you get

to live vicariously through other

840

32:55 ,905 --> 00:32:58,485

people's situations or at least

contemplate something and mm-hmm.

841

32:58 ,725 --> 00:33:02,685

I think, you know, aspirationally maybe

would make us more empathetic as humans,

842

33:02 ,685 --> 00:33:05,955

but, you know, according to Elon Musk,

that's a weakness, which it's not.

843

33:06 ,345 --> 00:33:07,905

You know the heck with that guy.

844

33:08 ,445 --> 00:33:11,564

You know, he knocks the pictures

off my wife, he, they, they

845

33:11 ,564 --> 00:33:13,335

shoot off his, uh, SpaceX rock.

846

33:13 ,335 --> 00:33:14,895

It's about six miles south of me here.

847

33:14 ,895 --> 00:33:17,804

So whenever, oh boy, Sonic boom,

the thing comes down, like the

848

33:17 ,804 --> 00:33:18,855

picture are rattling on the.

849

33:20 ,490 --> 00:33:21,420

Fucking Ilan.

850

33:21 ,930 --> 00:33:28,020

Um, so, you know, when have a dog at Pees

on the floor, 'cause it, it was so loud.

851

33:28 ,020 --> 00:33:30,870

It's kinda like, I'm like,

clean up pee going, damn Ilan.

852

33:31 ,230 --> 00:33:33,990

Um, it's a little sidetrack there.

853

33:34 ,555 --> 00:33:34,935

Oh no.

854

33:35 ,035 --> 00:33:35,495

So no.

855

33:36 ,155 --> 00:33:36,495

Oh no.

856

33:36 ,540 --> 00:33:37,200

True story.

857

33:37 ,200 --> 00:33:37,440

Yeah.

858

33:37 ,470 --> 00:33:40,080

Um, well the only other time

is one time they set it off.

859

33:40 ,230 --> 00:33:42,570

They were shooting him off at

like, later on during the day.

860

33:42 ,570 --> 00:33:45,480

Now they used to be like at 7:00

AM and there's nothing like a 60

861

33:45 ,480 --> 00:33:46,980

pound dog landing on top of you.

862

33:47 ,010 --> 00:33:48,600

'cause he got scared

when he jumps up in bed.

863

33:48 ,600 --> 00:33:50,250

I'm like, oh God, you're a boom.

864

33:50 ,250 --> 00:33:50,970

And then a dog.

865

33:50 ,970 --> 00:33:54,150

It's like, fucking Elon

or, or the first episode

866

33:54 ,150 --> 00:33:55,380

Annalise Basso: of Last of Us, you know?

867

33:55 ,380 --> 00:33:57,510

Is it the end of the world

or is it just a rock?

868

33:57 ,565 --> 00:33:58,135

Marc Preston: Yeah, yeah.

869

33:58 ,140 --> 00:33:58,410

Yeah.

870

33:58 ,710 --> 00:33:59,580

Oh, that's a great show.

871

33:59 Current TV and Movie Recommendations

33:59 ,580 --> 00:33:59,820

That's great.

872

33:59 ,820 --> 00:34:02,970

What are you watching right now, by

the way, as far as, uh, films, tv?

873

34:02 ,970 --> 00:34:04,590

What, what's kind of

grabbing your attention?

874

34:05 ,010 --> 00:34:07,410

Annalise Basso: Well,

okay, I keep saying that.

875

34:07 ,410 --> 00:34:07,470

Whoa.

876

34:09 ,060 --> 00:34:12,960

I, I'm not good at watching things.

877

34:13 ,080 --> 00:34:16,530

I'm really not good at staying

plugged in, but I realize.

878

34:17 ,445 --> 00:34:22,275

I, I, I'm getting, it's, I have to make

a conscious effort to, you know, watch,

879

34:22 ,395 --> 00:34:26,415

watch what everybody's watching, and it's

a problem because there's so much content.

880

34:26 ,590 --> 00:34:26,880

Yeah.

881

34:26 ,885 --> 00:34:26,925

Yeah.

882

34:26 ,955 --> 00:34:31,575

And I, I don't know, I, whenever I

wanna watch something, I text my friend

883

34:31 ,575 --> 00:34:36,554

Nicholas Goldstein, who we're writing

together right now, and, uh, I just ask

884

34:36 ,554 --> 00:34:39,014

him what, what to, what I should watch.

885

34:39 ,315 --> 00:34:41,145

And he's made some really good

recommendations, but they're

886

34:41 ,145 --> 00:34:42,315

not, they're not current.

887

34:42 ,825 --> 00:34:43,635

Uh, yeah.

888

34:43 ,665 --> 00:34:45,135

Like, I, I, I don't know.

889

34:45 ,135 --> 00:34:48,045

He recommended, uh, what

was it, what was it?

890

34:48 ,045 --> 00:34:54,435

Was it, it was this Austrian

movie called Rev, and it's, I

891

34:54 ,465 --> 00:34:56,025

think, a directorial masterpiece.

892

34:56 ,025 --> 00:35:00,285

And I was never one of those

to be like, oh, film cinema.

893

35:00 ,285 --> 00:35:02,055

I mean, I, I love Jurassic Park.

894

35:02 ,085 --> 00:35:03,195

I love The Matrix.

895

35:03 ,320 --> 00:35:03,920

I love mm-hmm.

896

35:04 ,200 --> 00:35:06,135

I, I don't know, I, I love lots of movies.

897

35:06 ,135 --> 00:35:09,495

I'm not, I'm not a snob, but I am picky.

898

35:10 ,605 --> 00:35:14,115

Marc Preston: Uh, so am I. So am I,

and I, I, I, I really, my favorite

899

35:14 ,115 --> 00:35:17,865

thing to do is to happen across an

independent film, which is just.

900

35:18 ,465 --> 00:35:19,455

You know, just kind of cool.

901

35:19 ,455 --> 00:35:21,045

He is like, I'm, how did I miss this?

902

35:21 ,450 --> 00:35:23,775

I, I I, my drives my daughter Emma nuts.

903

35:23 ,775 --> 00:35:25,305

I got all the streamers.

904

35:25 ,485 --> 00:35:25,605

Annalise Basso: Mm-hmm.

905

35:26 ,055 --> 00:35:28,545

Marc Preston: Besides the stuff I need

to watch for, you know, doing this.

906

35:28 ,845 --> 00:35:32,385

I, I'm going through 'em going, part of

me is like, I got all these damn channels.

907

35:32 ,385 --> 00:35:34,875

I mean, all these things,

I can't find anything.

908

35:35 ,265 --> 00:35:38,025

And the one thing I think we're

missing is great comedies.

909

35:38 ,055 --> 00:35:40,785

You know, like we don't have

nearly as many as we used to.

910

35:41 ,145 --> 00:35:42,735

Like I mentioned Judd AAL before.

911

35:42 ,735 --> 00:35:46,275

I like those goofy, just absurd,

like anchor manish kind of stuff.

912

35:46 ,275 --> 00:35:49,005

See, you know, when the world

gets a little too serious,

913

35:49 ,005 --> 00:35:49,995

I just wanna watch comedies.

914

35:49 ,995 --> 00:35:53,445

But a kinda like you, I have a

hard time staying kind of zoned in

915

35:53 ,985 --> 00:35:56,535

because I'm always kinda like working

on my laptop or doing something.

916

35:56 ,540 --> 00:35:56,610

Mm-hmm.

917

35:56 ,730 --> 00:35:59,625

So I'm kind of like halfway

paying attention and if I really

918

35:59 ,625 --> 00:36:01,890

wanna see something, I gotta

go to the theater, you know?

919

36:01 ,890 --> 00:36:02,210

Yeah, yeah.

920

36:02 ,215 --> 00:36:03,675

Like, because I can't go anywhere else.

921

36:04 ,035 --> 00:36:05,565

Uh, like what did you grow up watching?

922

36:05 ,565 --> 00:36:08,415

Like what were, I don't wanna say

inspiration necessarily, but what were

923

36:08 ,415 --> 00:36:11,385

you watching where you're like, just

kind of grabbed your attention and kind

924

36:11 ,385 --> 00:36:14,595

of like became a spot on the timeline?

925

36:14 ,595 --> 00:36:17,295

If you remember back like, oh yeah,

I watched that movie when I was.

926

36:17 ,370 --> 00:36:18,930

This age or whatever.

927

36:19 Childhood Movie Memories

36:19 ,380 --> 00:36:22,950

Annalise Basso: I mean, I, all

the Disney classics, like the, the

928

36:22 ,950 --> 00:36:25,710

classics, Cinderella, sleeping Beauty.

929

36:25 ,710 --> 00:36:28,950

I mean, I, I like the Princess movies

and Cinderella's one of my favorite

930

36:29 ,430 --> 00:36:36,810

princesses because I mean, just despite

enduring a whole lifetime of just abuse,

931

36:37 ,410 --> 00:36:41,430

she remains sweet and kind and hopeful.

932

36:41 ,430 --> 00:36:44,490

And, you know, I, I don't know.

933

36:44 ,490 --> 00:36:49,740

I think there's, it takes a great amount

of strength to be able to, to do that.

934

36:50 ,250 --> 00:36:52,380

Um, so I like her.

935

36:52 ,380 --> 00:36:53,279

I liked Cinderella.

936

36:53 ,279 --> 00:36:57,630

I liked, I, I remember watching

The Matrix with my family.

937

36:57 ,630 --> 00:37:04,170

I remember watching Gladiator and

the Patriot and just sweeping epic,

938

37:04 ,500 --> 00:37:10,455

hopeful movies that I. Going back

to how we, how we started in this.

939

37:10 ,455 --> 00:37:13,755

My sister was always directing

and creating the worlds that my

940

37:13 ,755 --> 00:37:16,425

brother and I would, would play in.

941

37:16 ,425 --> 00:37:16,515

Mm-hmm.

942

37:17 ,475 --> 00:37:19,905

I mean, I was younger than them.

943

37:19 ,905 --> 00:37:24,045

My, my sister's 32 and my

brother's 30 right now.

944

37:24 ,045 --> 00:37:28,635

So I, I'm, I was too young to really

play in their game, so most of the

945

37:28 ,635 --> 00:37:30,075

time I'd just be watching them.

946

37:30 ,250 --> 00:37:30,410

Marc Preston: Yeah.

947

37:30 ,630 --> 00:37:33,410

You didn't have any voting rights

you were justt participating in?

948

37:33 ,450 --> 00:37:38,085

Annalise Basso: I didn't voting rights,

but, um, you know, I learned a lot from

949

37:38 ,085 --> 00:37:43,215

the way that my siblings told stories

and my dad was there with a video camera.

950

37:43 ,215 --> 00:37:44,055

He documented.

951

37:44 ,609 --> 00:37:45,279

Everything.

952

37:45 ,285 --> 00:37:45,524

Everything.

953

37:46 ,004 --> 00:37:46,395

That's

954

37:46 ,395 --> 00:37:46,875

Marc Preston: awesome.

955

37:46 ,875 --> 00:37:47,895

That's, yeah.

956

37:47 ,895 --> 00:37:51,075

'cause back when you were, uh, younger,

before we all had cameras on our phones.

957

37:51 ,075 --> 00:37:53,564

I mean, the kids don't realize,

you know, it's actually kind cool.

958

37:53 ,564 --> 00:37:56,774

You watch an old movie from like

the eighties or maybe early nineties

959

37:56 ,805 --> 00:37:57,975

maybe, and they're always walking.

960

37:57 ,975 --> 00:38:00,825

There's somebody walking around

with a video camera that's like the

961

38:00 ,825 --> 00:38:02,384

size of a suitcase, it seems like.

962

38:02 ,384 --> 00:38:02,386

Mm-hmm.

963

38:02 ,392 --> 00:38:03,794

You know, so it's cool.

964

38:03 ,794 --> 00:38:08,084

You got, I, I just, I'm glad I grew up

without a phone to document everything.

965

38:08 ,205 --> 00:38:08,294

Mm-hmm.

966

38:08 ,564 --> 00:38:11,205

Uh, but I also wish I

had a phone to document.

967

38:11 ,205 --> 00:38:12,285

There's certain things I'd love.

968

38:12 ,314 --> 00:38:16,035

Like, it's more like family

stuff or like, you know, what

969

38:16 ,035 --> 00:38:17,115

was I up to with my friends?

970

38:17 ,115 --> 00:38:18,645

What kind of a knucklehead

was I when I was younger?

971

38:18 ,651 --> 00:38:18,799

Yeah.

972

38:18 ,799 --> 00:38:19,845

You know, that kind of a thing.

973

38:19 ,995 --> 00:38:20,774

No, my mom always

974

38:20 ,774 --> 00:38:24,555

Annalise Basso: had a a, a camera and

my dad always had the video camera.

975

38:25 The Value of Physical Photos and Videos

38:25 ,154 --> 00:38:28,424

It's, it was, it was inter like

they, my mom created these incredible

976

38:28 ,455 --> 00:38:31,035

scrapbooks of just our entire childhoods.

977

38:31 ,035 --> 00:38:34,935

And then my dad would be there actually

capturing it and I don't know, just the

978

38:34 ,935 --> 00:38:39,615

actual home videos, putting in the VHS

or the tape and then watching that back.

979

38:39 ,615 --> 00:38:41,625

It's, I don't know, having something.

980

38:42 ,285 --> 00:38:44,654

Tactile instead of digital.

981

38:45 ,285 --> 00:38:45,375

Mm-hmm.

982

38:45 ,615 --> 00:38:48,524

I mean, sometimes I look at the

10,000 pictures I have on my phone

983

38:48 ,674 --> 00:38:52,665

and it's like, yeah, I have all these

memories, but I don't know, if the

984

38:52 ,665 --> 00:38:56,805

cloud were to disappear tomorrow, then

all of these memories would be gone.

985

38:56 ,805 --> 00:38:58,185

And I think there's a lot Yeah.

986

38:58 ,185 --> 00:38:58,725

Of value.

987

38:58 ,725 --> 00:38:59,145

And I, I

988

38:59 ,145 --> 00:39:00,975

Marc Preston: was watching an

episode of, I mean, way back

989

39:00 ,975 --> 00:39:02,535

when I watched Walking Dead.

990

39:02 ,595 --> 00:39:03,944

I kind stopped watching after a few years.

991

39:03 ,944 --> 00:39:05,529

It, it, sorry.

992

39:06 ,029 --> 00:39:10,125

I'm well, well, you, I remember

one of the characters said, I

993

39:10 ,125 --> 00:39:12,254

don't, they had a child who died.

994

39:12 ,435 --> 00:39:15,015

Uh, they said, I don't, I can't

remember what they looked like, you

995

39:15 ,015 --> 00:39:18,044

know, 'cause you know, you'd have

pictures, but everything was digital.

996

39:18 ,044 --> 00:39:19,065

So that was all gone.

997

39:19 ,065 --> 00:39:19,484

I was like, wow.

998

39:19 ,484 --> 00:39:22,154

That's kinda what, it's funny, I've

got a photo album sitting right

999

39:22 ,154 --> 00:39:26,294

next to me here of all the pictures

I'm needing to scan, uh, in color.

1000

39:26 ,294 --> 00:39:26,685

Correct.

1001

39:26 ,685 --> 00:39:28,665

'cause some of 'em gotten that

little yellowness going on.

1002

39:28 ,815 --> 00:39:28,904

Annalise Basso: Mm-hmm.

1003

39:29 ,145 --> 00:39:29,147

Marc Preston: But yeah.

1004

39:29 ,265 --> 00:39:31,154

Have y'all scanned all these old pictures?

1005

39:31 ,154 --> 00:39:32,865

You know, have y'all, have you done that?

1006

39:34 ,035 --> 00:39:37,004

Annalise Basso: My mom digitized

all of our home videos.

1007

39:37 ,500 --> 00:39:39,300

So those are, those are safe.

1008

39:39 ,630 --> 00:39:42,870

I mean, 'cause over time the

film deteriorates and all that.

1009

39:42 ,870 --> 00:39:42,960

Mm-hmm.

1010

39:43 ,200 --> 00:39:48,210

So my mom digitized all the home

videos and then the pictures.

1011

39:49 ,470 --> 00:39:51,060

She still has the photo albums.

1012

39:51 ,060 --> 00:39:53,850

I don't think those have been,

I think she's printing photos,

1013

39:53 ,850 --> 00:39:55,259

not scanning them, which,

1014

39:57 ,360 --> 00:40:00,210

you know, she wants to have

the actual, the actual thing.

1015

40:00 ,630 --> 00:40:03,900

Marc Preston: Because that's, that's

my new thing is I have all this tape.

1016

40:03 ,900 --> 00:40:07,560

I'm like, I need, I need to digitize this

before this stuff gets wonky, you know?

1017

40:07 ,620 --> 00:40:07,950

Yeah.

1018

40:14 ,800 --> 00:40:18,375

You know, one of the things I like to do

is something I'd call my seven questions.

1019

40:18 ,525 --> 00:40:21,255

Just my little random bit of

fun to kind of find out little,

1020

40:21 ,645 --> 00:40:23,025

little, little extra nuggets.

1021

40:23 ,025 --> 00:40:26,055

And I always say this, I always

talk food at least once in my show.

1022

40:26 ,055 --> 00:40:27,165

I'm a big food nerd, you know.

1023

40:27 ,285 --> 00:40:27,315

Oh,

1024

40:27 ,315 --> 00:40:27,615

Annalise Basso: great.

1025

40:27 ,705 --> 00:40:28,605

I'll talk food any day.

1026

40:29 ,535 --> 00:40:30,075

Marc Preston: Awesome.

1027

40:30 The Seven Questions

40:30 ,105 --> 00:40:30,615

Well, here we go.

1028

40:30 ,615 --> 00:40:34,335

Well, the first question I got is,

what is your favorite comfort food?

1029

40:34 ,755 --> 00:40:35,235

Bad day.

1030

40:35 ,235 --> 00:40:36,465

Good day doesn't make a difference.

1031

40:36 ,465 --> 00:40:38,115

It lands every time for you.

1032

40:39 ,735 --> 00:40:41,115

Annalise Basso: I have

to be honest, right?

1033

40:41 ,565 --> 00:40:42,225

Absolutely.

1034

40:42 ,375 --> 00:40:42,645

Marc Preston: Yeah.

1035

40:44 ,025 --> 00:40:44,235

Annalise Basso: Okay.

1036

40:44 ,235 --> 00:40:47,715

So ever since moving back to la,

there is an air wand that's two,

1037

40:48 ,015 --> 00:40:51,435

like two blocks away from me and I

1038

40:52 ,005 --> 00:40:53,205

Marc Preston: That's that fan,

that's that fancy grocery where

1039

40:53 ,205 --> 00:40:54,615

everything, it's absurd, pricey.

1040

40:54 ,825 --> 00:40:55,995

Annalise Basso: It's absurd.

1041

40:56 ,475 --> 00:41:02,865

But they have this buffalo cauliflower

that is just, I'm, I'm addicted to it.

1042

41:02 ,865 --> 00:41:04,935

And now I've built in.

1043

41:05 ,670 --> 00:41:10,530

A part of my budget where I'm

sacrificing other things in life so

1044

41:10 ,530 --> 00:41:12,510

that I can accommodate this cravings.

1045

41:12 ,810 --> 00:41:16,500

Marc Preston: Really, I gotta be honest

with you, you know, and people busted

1046

41:16 ,500 --> 00:41:19,980

on me for going Whole Foods, you know,

well, whole Foods got a little weird after

1047

41:20 ,040 --> 00:41:21,390

what's its name, bought it from Amazon.

1048

41:21 ,630 --> 00:41:24,750

But, uh, or it's not really the

same, but I, I'm like, I like

1049

41:24 ,750 --> 00:41:25,830

stuff that's relatively healthy.

1050

41:25 ,830 --> 00:41:27,270

I like good selection,

you know, that kind thing.

1051

41:27 ,275 --> 00:41:27,385

Yeah.

1052

41:27 ,385 --> 00:41:27,425

But

1053

41:27 ,425 --> 00:41:29,585

Annalise Basso: I remember stuff that

makes me feel good as well as tastes good.

1054

41:29 ,935 --> 00:41:30,425

Exactly.

1055

41:30 ,630 --> 00:41:30,780

Marc Preston: Yeah.

1056

41:30 ,780 --> 00:41:35,010

I was, we, I was at a, uh, uh, an awards

show in LA and a good friend of mine, she

1057

41:35 ,010 --> 00:41:37,350

and I were, uh, I love going to Canter.

1058

41:37 ,350 --> 00:41:39,060

Cantor Deli is my jam.

1059

41:39 ,120 --> 00:41:43,200

It's, I talk about it regularly on the

show, but, uh, I always love going there.

1060

41:43 ,650 --> 00:41:46,230

But, uh, but she was like, ah, you

know, let's just run back over to

1061

41:46 ,230 --> 00:41:47,220

my place and just kinda hang out.

1062

41:47 ,220 --> 00:41:48,570

Let's go get some stuff from the grocery.

1063

41:48 ,570 --> 00:41:49,290

I'm like, all right, cool.

1064

41:49 ,290 --> 00:41:50,010

That's, that's fine.

1065

41:50 ,010 --> 00:41:51,120

You know, my heart's a little broken.

1066

41:51 ,120 --> 00:41:53,010

I really want a Matza

ball soup, but I digress.

1067

41:53 ,520 --> 00:41:56,880

So we went to this Air one and all

I remember, I'm, I'm walking around.

1068

41:57 ,825 --> 00:42:00,075

And, you know, stolen my suit and

everything, you know, from the thing

1069

42:00 ,075 --> 00:42:02,805

and just kinda walking around and

had to put my reading glasses on.

1070

42:02 ,805 --> 00:42:04,395

'cause I was like, is it

really that expensive?

1071

42:04 ,425 --> 00:42:05,205

Are you kidding me?

1072

42:05 ,205 --> 00:42:05,265

Yeah.

1073

42:05 ,265 --> 00:42:06,900

It was like, what is it?

1074

42:06 ,905 --> 00:42:09,795

It, and the thing is we got like a

little, uh uh, I remember getting

1075

42:09 ,795 --> 00:42:12,435

like a sandwich, like a little wrap.

1076

42:12 ,855 --> 00:42:14,715

It was like 12, 13 bucks or something.

1077

42:14 ,715 --> 00:42:15,106

It was like, yep.

1078

42:15 ,300 --> 00:42:16,065

I had, sorry.

1079

42:16 ,365 --> 00:42:18,045

But anyway, but yeah, I know

what you're talking about.

1080

42:18 ,045 --> 00:42:21,585

But yeah, if you have something

that's your jam, make no excuses.

1081

42:21 ,585 --> 00:42:22,605

If it brings you joy,

1082

42:23 ,085 --> 00:42:25,785

Annalise Basso: if that's not

around though, but just loaf of

1083

42:25 ,785 --> 00:42:28,335

sourdough and, and bread, or sorry.

1084

42:28 ,335 --> 00:42:28,905

And butter.

1085

42:29 ,505 --> 00:42:30,300

Sourdough and butter.

1086

42:30 ,300 --> 00:42:30,555

You know what?

1087

42:31 ,154 --> 00:42:32,384

Marc Preston: You know

what's really good sourdough?

1088

42:32 ,384 --> 00:42:33,585

If you get like a really good one.

1089

42:33 ,735 --> 00:42:37,095

Uh, do, uh, I like to get like

olive oil and kinda crush up a

1090

42:37 ,095 --> 00:42:39,975

little bit of garlic and like spit

some, uh, well, you're Italian.

1091

42:39 ,975 --> 00:42:42,884

Yeah, you got his Italian roots, you know,

and dip the bread in there, you know.

1092

42:43 ,305 --> 00:42:44,025

Oh, that's good.

1093

42:44 ,085 --> 00:42:44,625

You can tell.

1094

42:44 ,805 --> 00:42:45,375

I always do.

1095

42:45 ,465 --> 00:42:48,525

I always typically do this before

I've had lunch, so I just go

1096

42:48 ,525 --> 00:42:50,145

and go off on a tangent on food.

1097

42:50 ,955 --> 00:42:54,045

My next question, if you're gonna sit

down and talk story, you got three

1098

42:54 ,045 --> 00:42:58,035

people, uh, you and three people,

and oh, you're gonna have coffee

1099

42:58 ,035 --> 00:43:01,185

and just talk for an hour, living or

not, who would those three people be?

1100

43:01 ,185 --> 00:43:03,194

You would like to have

sitting down with you?

1101

43:03 ,585 --> 00:43:05,625

Annalise Basso: Rod Sterling, uh, rod,

1102

43:05 ,775 --> 00:43:07,185

Marc Preston: er, you're

the first Rod Sterling.

1103

43:07 ,335 --> 00:43:09,345

I could ask you though, why Rod Sterling?

1104

43:09 ,674 --> 00:43:10,785

Annalise Basso: Twilight Zone.

1105

43:11 ,115 --> 00:43:11,775

Twilight Zone.

1106

43:11 ,835 --> 00:43:20,235

Just how he was able to tell

so many stories and just he

1107

43:20 ,235 --> 00:43:21,404

created a whole universe.

1108

43:22 ,170 --> 00:43:25,140

And he was fearless in his storytelling.

1109

43:25 ,140 --> 00:43:28,890

He broke so many rules

and he didn't preach ever.

1110

43:29 ,220 --> 00:43:30,210

He did it in a, but

1111

43:30 ,210 --> 00:43:32,190

Marc Preston: there was a

lot of social commentary.

1112

43:32 ,670 --> 00:43:35,940

And his daughter is, uh, posting a

lot of, like, his old quotes, and

1113

43:35 ,940 --> 00:43:40,470

I've really kind of gotten into,

he was really dialed into the human

1114

43:40 ,500 --> 00:43:41,820

condition, or whatever you wanna call it.

1115

43:41 ,825 --> 00:43:41,855

Yes.

1116

43:41 ,875 --> 00:43:46,020

But like some of her shortcomings, he, he

understood and, and could tell stories in

1117

43:46 ,020 --> 00:43:50,460

a very, in a digestible way where people

are like, oh, I didn't see it like that.

1118

43:50 ,550 --> 00:43:51,630

Annalise Basso: You know,

that's, that's great.

1119

43:51 ,630 --> 00:43:53,070

He told stories, but he,

but he never preached.

1120

43:53 ,070 --> 00:43:55,860

And that's something that I really

respect and that's something that I

1121

43:55 ,860 --> 00:43:57,240

have to be aware of as a storyteller.

1122

43:57 ,240 --> 00:44:00,390

It's like, oh, as much as I

wanna put what I wanna say, he,

1123

44:00 ,450 --> 00:44:04,710

he served story and the truth.

1124

44:04 ,710 --> 00:44:12,150

He served the truth and he was able

to, to, uh, pursue the truth of what

1125

44:12 ,150 --> 00:44:16,710

the story needed as opposed to what

he wanted to say, if that makes sense.

1126

44:16 ,710 --> 00:44:16,711

Mm-hmm.

1127

44:16 ,995 --> 00:44:20,610

Um, and there was, he had like,

just an incredible amount of.

1128

44:21 ,000 --> 00:44:23,160

Creative integrity, and

I see that in his work.

1129

44:23 ,310 --> 00:44:25,290

Marc Preston: It felt like that

he was on a mission to tell some

1130

44:25 ,290 --> 00:44:26,640

stories that made a difference.

1131

44:26 ,640 --> 00:44:26,730

Mm-hmm.

1132

44:26 ,790 --> 00:44:27,600

You know, I don't know.

1133

44:27 ,600 --> 00:44:30,450

But he's, you know, I didn't

have an appreciation for him

1134

44:30 ,450 --> 00:44:31,770

until I was very much an adult.

1135

44:31 ,770 --> 00:44:33,779

I mean, the full appreciation

till I was an adult.

1136

44:33 ,779 --> 00:44:37,230

But yeah, I'm, I've never had anybody

say Rod Sterling and that he, he's

1137

44:37 ,230 --> 00:44:38,759

gotta go on my shortlist now as well.

1138

44:38 ,759 --> 00:44:40,799

I never even thought about

having Rod Sterling, but

1139

44:41 ,069 --> 00:44:41,339

Annalise Basso: yeah.

1140

44:41 ,430 --> 00:44:41,939

Yay.

1141

44:42 ,299 --> 00:44:42,839

Marc Preston: Very cool.

1142

44:42 ,839 --> 00:44:43,020

Very.

1143

44:43 ,200 --> 00:44:45,870

But for, for your age though,

I mean, I'm assuming, were your

1144

44:45 ,870 --> 00:44:47,339

parents watching the Twilight Zone?

1145

44:47 ,490 --> 00:44:49,919

Annalise Basso: We would watch

the Twilight Zone because there's

1146

44:49 ,919 --> 00:44:53,939

a Twilight Zone marathon that

happens every, uh, new Year's Eve.

1147

44:54 ,419 --> 00:44:56,430

They just play all the episodes, I think.

1148

44:56 ,430 --> 00:45:00,210

I mean, they start at, I mean, they're,

I don't know, five, six seasons.

1149

45:00 ,210 --> 00:45:00,629

I forget.

1150

45:01 ,515 --> 00:45:03,405

But they play all the episodes.

1151

45:03 ,795 --> 00:45:07,665

I think starting like a week before New

Year's Day or two weeks, I don't know,

1152

45:07 ,845 --> 00:45:12,225

but it's just, it's a marathon and we

would turn it on New Year's Day, have

1153

45:12 ,225 --> 00:45:16,635

it, or New Year's Eve, have it on all day

and then have it on all New Year's Day

1154

45:18 ,315 --> 00:45:20,115

Marc Preston: Now you got

like, I can itch to go.

1155

45:20 ,415 --> 00:45:23,265

My son, I don't think has ever seen, he

would be the one that would be into it.

1156

45:23 ,265 --> 00:45:24,225

My, uh, 20-year-old.

1157

45:24 ,945 --> 00:45:26,355

Annalise Basso: Have

you ever read his plays?

1158

45:26 ,475 --> 00:45:28,125

'cause he was a playwright as well.

1159

45:29 ,265 --> 00:45:29,325

Marc Preston: No.

1160

45:29 ,325 --> 00:45:29,535

Yeah.

1161

45:29 ,685 --> 00:45:30,495

How did I not know that?

1162

45:30 ,495 --> 00:45:32,115

I didn't, I didn't know that Reem.

1163

45:32 ,240 --> 00:45:33,315

I did not know Heavyweight.

1164

45:33 ,705 --> 00:45:36,435

Annalise Basso: He has a play called

Requiem for a heavyweight, and I mean

1165

45:36 ,435 --> 00:45:40,725

it, he did, it was made into a movie,

but it started out as a play first.

1166

45:40 ,725 --> 00:45:44,715

And I think he also has

one called Patterns and.

1167

45:45 ,310 --> 00:45:48,495

I'm, I'm working my way through

them, but I really, yeah, rec

1168

45:48 ,495 --> 00:45:49,485

wing for a heavyweight is fun.

1169

45:49 ,815 --> 00:45:51,855

Marc Preston: I think it's wonderful

when you can kind of discover a thing

1170

45:51 ,855 --> 00:45:54,735

like, oh, this is something like,

with, with him and like, I'm kind

1171

45:54 ,735 --> 00:45:57,645

of getting into, it's one of those

things I was too young to appreciate,

1172

45:57 ,915 --> 00:45:59,025

you know, when I was much younger.

1173

45:59 ,025 --> 00:45:59,115

Mm-hmm.

1174

45:59 ,115 --> 00:46:01,395

But now I'm like, I'm enjoying

getting into his stuff.

1175

46:01 ,395 --> 00:46:04,605

So we got Rod Sterling sitting

down for a cup of coffee.

1176

46:04 ,605 --> 00:46:06,885

Who would be the other two

folks who you would enjoy?

1177

46:07 ,185 --> 00:46:09,170

Annalise Basso: CS Lewis and,

1178

46:11 ,430 --> 00:46:13,370

uh, ies?

1179

46:15 ,950 --> 00:46:18,255

Marc Preston: You like

a thinker over there?

1180

46:18 ,255 --> 00:46:18,975

You're like, wow.

1181

46:18 ,975 --> 00:46:19,216

That's no,

1182

46:19 ,221 --> 00:46:20,235

Annalise Basso: wait, no, no.

1183

46:20 ,235 --> 00:46:20,595

Sorry.

1184

46:20 ,595 --> 00:46:21,435

I, sorry.

1185

46:21 ,465 --> 00:46:22,185

Sorry, buddy.

1186

46:22 ,395 --> 00:46:23,865

You ripd, I gotta kick you out.

1187

46:24 ,015 --> 00:46:24,495

Shakespeare.

1188

46:25 ,305 --> 00:46:25,785

Shakespeare.

1189

46:26 ,205 --> 00:46:27,015

Shakespeare, Shakespeare.

1190

46:27 ,645 --> 00:46:30,075

Sterling Shakespeare and CS Lewis.

1191

46:30 ,255 --> 00:46:30,465

Marc Preston: Yeah.

1192

46:30 ,465 --> 00:46:31,455

Shakespeare would be interesting.

1193

46:31 ,455 --> 00:46:31,605

Go.

1194

46:31 ,605 --> 00:46:31,725

Okay.

1195

46:31 ,725 --> 00:46:34,995

Do you really talk like you write,

you know, or It is like, it'd be

1196

46:34 ,995 --> 00:46:38,175

really funny if Shakespeare like this

chill, relaxed guy is like, you know,

1197

46:38 ,175 --> 00:46:39,945

using like really common language.

1198

46:39 ,945 --> 00:46:42,495

And only his writings

are like Shakespeare.

1199

46:42 ,495 --> 00:46:46,095

That's he, he's one of the reasons

why he got scared of stage, you know?

1200

46:46 ,155 --> 00:46:46,635

But Oh,

1201

46:46 ,635 --> 00:46:46,875

Annalise Basso: really?

1202

46:47 ,205 --> 00:46:47,985

Marc Preston: Memorizing me.

1203

46:48 ,165 --> 00:46:49,395

Memorizing a whole script.

1204

46:49 ,755 --> 00:46:50,445

Anybody listen to the show?

1205

46:50 ,445 --> 00:46:50,715

No.

1206

46:50 ,715 --> 00:46:54,045

Always says I can memorize

a few pages of a screenplay.

1207

46:54 ,555 --> 00:46:54,585

Annalise Basso: Mm.

1208

46:54 ,765 --> 00:46:55,545

Marc Preston: I can do that.

1209

46:55 ,785 --> 00:46:58,035

But a whole, I'm like, oh God no.

1210

46:58 ,035 --> 00:46:59,775

I don't know if I could, I

don't know if I could do that.

1211

46:59 ,775 --> 00:46:59,955

I'm

1212

47:00 ,975 --> 00:47:02,205

Annalise Basso: you, I think

I could, I could imagine you

1213

47:02 ,205 --> 00:47:03,825

on the stage with that voice.

1214

47:03 ,825 --> 00:47:06,340

Just be or not to be.

1215

47:06 ,760 --> 00:47:06,980

Marc Preston: No.

1216

47:06 ,985 --> 00:47:10,575

There, there are certain people that,

that I think that, that I, down here

1217

47:10 ,575 --> 00:47:12,135

we don't have a lot of stage stuff.

1218

47:12 ,135 --> 00:47:14,205

Like there, there are people

I would like to see like, uh,

1219

47:14 ,865 --> 00:47:16,065

like last night I saw him on tv.

1220

47:16 ,095 --> 00:47:17,205

Uh uh, Sam Rockwell.

1221

47:17 ,235 --> 00:47:18,075

I would love to see.

1222

47:18 ,080 --> 00:47:18,340

Oh wow.

1223

47:18 ,340 --> 00:47:18,460

Yeah.

1224

47:18 ,460 --> 00:47:19,275

Him on stage.

1225

47:19 ,275 --> 00:47:21,975

Or there are certain people who I

want to see them on stage doing their

1226

47:21 ,975 --> 00:47:23,985

thing, you know, but me performing.

1227

47:24 ,375 --> 00:47:25,215

Nobody needs that.

1228

47:25 ,785 --> 00:47:26,565

Uh, maybe one day.

1229

47:26 ,625 --> 00:47:27,225

Maybe one day.

1230

47:27 ,525 --> 00:47:29,715

Now let next question, let's go

back to when you were younger.

1231

47:29 ,745 --> 00:47:32,355

Uh, very first celebrity crush.

1232

47:32 ,355 --> 00:47:33,345

Who was that for you?

1233

47:33 ,345 --> 00:47:34,005

Annalise Basso: Oh, no.

1234

47:34 ,635 --> 00:47:34,725

Oh no.

1235

47:35 ,655 --> 00:47:37,305

Toby McGuire and Spiderman.

1236

47:38 ,235 --> 00:47:39,135

Marc Preston: I can see that.

1237

47:39 ,195 --> 00:47:42,495

Um, now let's say you're gonna

be on an island for a year.

1238

47:42 ,555 --> 00:47:45,705

Uh, the next question, it's

an island you wanna be on.

1239

47:45 ,705 --> 00:47:46,965

It's great, it's exotic.

1240

47:46 ,965 --> 00:47:50,235

It's al pretty much like a resort,

but you gotta be there a whole year.

1241

47:50 ,355 --> 00:47:54,675

There's no streaming, so if you wanna

listen to music, you gotta bring one CD

1242

47:55 ,005 --> 00:47:59,295

and to watch a movie, you gotta bring

1D VD, something you can listen to and

1243

47:59 ,295 --> 00:48:00,855

watch over and over and over again.

1244

48:01 ,365 --> 00:48:02,085

What would that be?

1245

48:02 ,655 --> 00:48:03,075

Annalise Basso: Oh, no.

1246

48:04 ,395 --> 00:48:07,095

I should have had, I, maybe

I need to consult my list.

1247

48:07 ,095 --> 00:48:10,035

I, I, the thing, the

movie that comes to mind,

1248

48:13 ,035 --> 00:48:15,465

maybe The Secret Garden 1993, though

1249

48:15 ,885 --> 00:48:16,455

Marc Preston: I'm trying to remember.

1250

48:16 ,455 --> 00:48:18,855

I know my kids watched

one, uh, the Secret Garden.

1251

48:18 ,855 --> 00:48:20,180

I just recently, two recently.

1252

48:21 ,044 --> 00:48:21,930

Annalise Basso: I, I just read was did

1253

48:21 ,930 --> 00:48:24,705

Marc Preston: they come out with

another one after 93 or was 93?

1254

48:24 ,705 --> 00:48:24,855

It did.

1255

48:25 ,154 --> 00:48:25,544

Okay.

1256

48:25 ,725 --> 00:48:25,964

Annalise Basso: Yeah.

1257

48:25 ,964 --> 00:48:29,024

No, they came out with one, I

think, I don't know, within the last

1258

48:29 ,145 --> 00:48:31,754

probably 10 years, 10, 15 years.

1259

48:32 ,145 --> 00:48:33,765

But I know my kids, we watched it,

1260

48:34 ,634 --> 00:48:38,625

Marc Preston: I'm trying to

think, 2009 I think is when we

1261

48:38 ,685 --> 00:48:39,404

watched it when they were young.

1262

48:39 ,404 --> 00:48:39,495

Mm-hmm.

1263

48:39 ,944 --> 00:48:41,569

Um, that was, that was a great move.

1264

48:41 ,595 --> 00:48:41,805

Okay.

1265

48:41 ,805 --> 00:48:42,825

So Secret Garden.

1266

48:43 ,064 --> 00:48:43,125

Yeah.

1267

48:43 ,125 --> 00:48:45,464

And what, what Now I will say a box set.

1268

48:45 ,464 --> 00:48:46,035

You can do that.

1269

48:46 ,035 --> 00:48:47,535

You can do a box set

when it comes to music

1270

48:47 ,790 --> 00:48:48,290

Annalise Basso: if you'd like.

1271

48:48 ,310 --> 00:48:48,529

Ooh.

1272

48:50 ,430 --> 00:48:50,720

Okay.

1273

48:53 ,259 --> 00:48:58,395

Uh, this is, I don't know if this is

cheating, so let me know if I need to.

1274

48:59 ,950 --> 00:49:03,944

I change my answer, but I would do the

Chronicles of running a audio books.

1275

49:04 ,305 --> 00:49:06,435

Marc Preston: You found

a loophole just then.

1276

49:06 ,440 --> 00:49:06,509

Mm-hmm.

1277

49:06 ,589 --> 00:49:09,045

You the an audiobook

music You said Boxset, you

1278

49:09 ,045 --> 00:49:11,895

Annalise Basso: said I could do, you

said I could do boxset, but Okay.

1279

49:11 ,895 --> 00:49:12,254

Music.

1280

49:12 ,254 --> 00:49:13,125

You're right, you're right, you're right.

1281

49:13 ,125 --> 00:49:13,305

Right.

1282

49:13 ,785 --> 00:49:14,145

Marc Preston: No, no, no.

1283

49:14 ,145 --> 00:49:14,835

That, that's good though.

1284

49:14 ,835 --> 00:49:17,685

That's you did find, so you know

what, I'll, I'll, I'll allow that

1285

49:17 ,685 --> 00:49:20,625

for all of my guests, but I'm

curious, musically, what grabs you.

1286

49:22 ,725 --> 00:49:24,165

Annalise Basso: I listen to everything.

1287

49:24 ,795 --> 00:49:25,634

I really do.

1288

49:25 ,694 --> 00:49:33,825

I, I, I'm trying to think of my

favorite album or what, but it

1289

49:33 ,825 --> 00:49:35,745

really just depends on the day.

1290

49:35 ,805 --> 00:49:37,995

And I, I don't discriminate.

1291

49:37 ,995 --> 00:49:39,375

I li I do listen to everything.

1292

49:39 ,795 --> 00:49:41,504

There's even country sometimes.

1293

49:42 ,464 --> 00:49:42,495

Marc Preston: Oh.

1294

49:42 ,495 --> 00:49:45,615

That, that would make my, my youngest

is the country fan, and they, uh, like

1295

49:45 ,615 --> 00:49:48,585

her boyfriend, I think they're one

of their main connecting principles

1296

49:48 ,585 --> 00:49:49,815

is they both like country music.

1297

49:50 ,234 --> 00:49:53,444

Mm. So it's kind of a, you

know, so she's, she has a cup.

1298

49:53 ,819 --> 00:49:54,180

Annalise Basso: It's just

1299

49:54 ,180 --> 00:49:54,779

Marc Preston: simple.

1300

49:55 ,350 --> 00:49:58,080

Annalise Basso: And Willie Nelson, um, oh

1301

49:58 ,080 --> 00:49:58,410

Marc Preston: yeah,

1302

49:58 ,734 --> 00:50:01,200

Annalise Basso: I, I would listen

to the blues with my dad a lot.

1303

50:01 ,200 --> 00:50:05,279

Like, you know, Stevie

Ray Vaughn, and, um,

1304

50:05 ,580 --> 00:50:06,629

Marc Preston: okay, now you,

now you're sit in home runs.

1305

50:06 ,629 --> 00:50:07,620

He's a Dallas boy.

1306

50:07 ,620 --> 00:50:10,529

A big, you know, and it was funny

because, uh, down here on the

1307

50:10 ,529 --> 00:50:13,290

island, uh, my daughter bartended

this big bar, a Clayton's Beach

1308

50:13 ,290 --> 00:50:14,459

bar free promotion for them.

1309

50:14 ,520 --> 00:50:16,080

Just real big, enormous deck thing.

1310

50:16 ,350 --> 00:50:19,770

And, um, but they have like rap

acts and some accent, like, I'm

1311

50:19 ,770 --> 00:50:23,580

like, and here on the island, I, I'm

going to spring break, I'm sorry.

1312

50:23 ,584 --> 00:50:23,975

Mm-hmm.

1313

50:24 ,055 --> 00:50:27,000

So the spring break circa when I was.

1314

50:27 ,525 --> 00:50:28,215

Spring breaking.

1315

50:28 ,215 --> 00:50:32,025

I didn't have a chance to come here,

but Stevie Ray Vaughn was playing on

1316

50:32 ,025 --> 00:50:34,185

the beach and the crowd was insane.

1317

50:34 ,185 --> 00:50:36,675

Like, that would be a cool spring break.

1318

50:36 ,675 --> 00:50:37,035

Yeah.

1319

50:37 ,035 --> 00:50:39,675

I mean, he, he had to, they had

put a stage on the beach and it

1320

50:39 ,675 --> 00:50:42,735

was like, this was the spring break

destination for many, many years.

1321

50:42 ,735 --> 00:50:46,275

And then I go down there and I'm like,

uh, to see, you know, my daughter.

1322

50:46 ,305 --> 00:50:49,860

And like, it's like, you know, oh,

you know, I, I'm feeling like old now.

1323

50:49 ,860 --> 00:50:49,901

Spring now.

1324

50:49 ,901 --> 00:50:49,995

Spring break.

1325

50:49 ,995 --> 00:50:50,115

Oh

1326

50:50 ,115 --> 00:50:50,535

Annalise Basso: boy.

1327

50:50 ,595 --> 00:50:50,955

Yeah.

1328

50:50 ,955 --> 00:50:51,780

And then Stevie Ray.

1329

50:51 ,945 --> 00:50:53,385

Oh my, that's so cool.

1330

50:53 ,595 --> 00:50:54,140

That's so cool.

1331

50:54 ,315 --> 00:50:55,905

Marc Preston: Um, now,

now the next question.

1332

50:55 ,905 --> 00:50:58,875

If you were to go from STEM to stern

to, from the time you wake up to

1333

50:58 ,875 --> 00:51:00,465

the time you go to sleep mm-hmm.

1334

51:00 ,705 --> 00:51:03,435

Um, what are the component

parts for you of a perfect day?

1335

51:03 ,615 --> 00:51:07,005

You know, those things that they all

happen, it's just a glorious day for you.

1336

51:07 ,695 --> 00:51:08,085

Annalise Basso: Wow.

1337

51:08 ,595 --> 00:51:13,425

I mean, I have to think about that

because it's really just one thing.

1338

51:13 ,425 --> 00:51:19,815

I have a daily practice that I do,

and if that happens, then I don't

1339

51:19 ,815 --> 00:51:22,425

know, everything else is just a bonus.

1340

51:22 ,485 --> 00:51:23,175

I mean, is it kinda like a

1341

51:23 ,175 --> 00:51:25,935

Marc Preston: meditative

or, uh, exercise thing or.

1342

51:26 ,580 --> 00:51:30,570

Annalise Basso: I mean, it's a, it's

like a, a spiritual practice and mm-hmm.

1343

51:30 ,870 --> 00:51:33,660

Um, yeah, it's definitely

a part of my daily routine.

1344

51:33 ,660 --> 00:51:34,320

Sometimes.

1345

51:35 ,100 --> 00:51:40,320

I mean, just the last couple, uh,

last month or the month before last,

1346

51:40 ,320 --> 00:51:46,410

actually back in March, I put up a play

that I wrote, directed and produced.

1347

51:46 ,770 --> 00:51:51,780

And it was just like the days would just

start to blend together and I forgot

1348

51:51 ,780 --> 00:51:56,370

to make time and this is how we know

what our true priorities are, and I do.

1349

51:56 ,370 --> 00:51:56,460

Mm-hmm.

1350

51:57 ,285 --> 00:51:58,860

I mean, I prioritize.

1351

51:59 ,595 --> 00:52:04,305

Uh, this, I, I thought I did at least

this like, piece of my life that I

1352

52:04 ,305 --> 00:52:09,555

cherish and hold sacred and, you know,

sometimes we just get so busy that the

1353

52:09 ,675 --> 00:52:14,115

things like when the days go by and

you're like, oh, something's missing.

1354

52:14 ,115 --> 00:52:16,755

And I'm like, oh my gosh, it's

been two days or three days.

1355

52:16 ,755 --> 00:52:18,046

I, it's such a part of my life.

1356

52:18 ,230 --> 00:52:18,450

We

1357

52:18 ,450 --> 00:52:20,985

Marc Preston: could, it's so

easy to develop new habits, but

1358

52:20 ,985 --> 00:52:23,505

also get out of certain habits.

1359

52:23 ,510 --> 00:52:23,610

Mm-hmm.

1360

52:23 ,690 --> 00:52:24,855

You gotta be mindful of that.

1361

52:24 ,855 --> 00:52:25,005

Yeah.

1362

52:25 ,005 --> 00:52:27,405

So I'm dealing with the

same thing myself here.

1363

52:27 ,405 --> 00:52:29,805

So without getting all into

it, 'cause it's not about me.

1364

52:31 ,215 --> 00:52:32,715

Uh, but, but, but no, I,

I know that very well.

1365

52:32 ,715 --> 00:52:35,055

So, but are you a coffee, a tea person?

1366

52:35 ,055 --> 00:52:36,090

Are you, do you get exercise?

1367

52:36 ,090 --> 00:52:36,690

I love in the day.

1368

52:36 ,690 --> 00:52:36,693

I love coffee.

1369

52:37 ,245 --> 00:52:38,115

Annalise Basso: I love coffee.

1370

52:38 ,115 --> 00:52:43,155

I dance, I do, I I do like to

do something active every day.

1371

52:43 ,665 --> 00:52:49,935

Um, I mean, I, I think I

mentioned I du Muay Thai, I surf.

1372

52:50 ,865 --> 00:52:51,705

Um, really?

1373

52:51 ,705 --> 00:52:51,735

Okay.

1374

52:52 ,245 --> 00:52:55,935

Any days where that happens in the

morning, like I have my Dawn Patrol group.

1375

52:55 ,935 --> 00:52:58,725

We go out at probably 5 36.

1376

52:59 ,415 --> 00:53:03,735

In the morning up to Malibu

and just, you know, that's,

1377

53:03 ,735 --> 00:53:05,145

that's a great day when happens.

1378

53:05 ,240 --> 00:53:05,360

I,

1379

53:05 ,565 --> 00:53:08,565

Marc Preston: I, I'm the biggest surf

nerd that has actually not surfed

1380

53:08 ,565 --> 00:53:11,865

and I got people who are on the

island trying to get me to do it.

1381

53:11 ,865 --> 00:53:15,375

I just haven't had an opportunity,

but, oh, we actually, I've got it.

1382

53:15 ,495 --> 00:53:16,755

I can't really see it on the wall.

1383

53:16 ,965 --> 00:53:18,975

Have you ever seen the movie,

the documentary, uh, writing

1384

53:18 ,975 --> 00:53:22,815

Giants about big wave surfing,

about Laird Hamilton and, uh,

1385

53:23 ,100 --> 00:53:24,735

Annalise Basso: uh, writing Giants?

1386

53:25 ,215 --> 00:53:25,935

Marc Preston: Oh, it's

a great documentary.

1387

53:26 ,205 --> 00:53:26,565

I haven't seen,

1388

53:27 ,015 --> 00:53:30,915

Annalise Basso: I, I've seen Tim b uh,

what's his, what's his, what's his name?

1389

53:31 ,125 --> 00:53:35,595

Tim Bo Bonnie I, I don't know how to

pronounce his last name, but he did

1390

53:35 ,595 --> 00:53:39,045

a documentary about big wave surfing

that when I saw it I was like, Ugh.

1391

53:39 ,495 --> 00:53:40,245

And I think it's just called, oh, well

1392

53:40 ,245 --> 00:53:42,000

Marc Preston: this, this,

this came out in 2004.

1393

53:42 ,000 --> 00:53:43,665

You just look it up Riding giants.

1394

53:43 ,665 --> 00:53:44,055

It's so great.

1395

53:44 ,055 --> 00:53:47,595

I got the movie poster and I've got

Greg Noll, who is a, uh, kind of the

1396

53:47 ,595 --> 00:53:50,475

og, uh, big wave surfer in lad Hamilton.

1397

53:50 ,475 --> 00:53:51,675

Do they all sign, have this.

1398

53:52 ,154 --> 00:53:54,134

It's called writing giants.

1399

53:54 ,134 --> 00:53:54,136

Mm-hmm.

1400

53:54 ,140 --> 00:53:56,625

Writing giants and, uh, but

yeah, I got the movie poster sign

1401

53:56 ,685 --> 00:53:58,755

hanging out the end of my stairway.

1402

53:59 ,384 --> 00:53:59,565

Yeah.

1403

53:59 ,565 --> 00:54:01,725

So it's like a odd prize possession.

1404

54:01 ,725 --> 00:54:04,245

Told my kids when I pass one day,

you're not allowed to sell it.

1405

54:04 ,245 --> 00:54:05,355

This is a special thing.

1406

54:06 ,285 --> 00:54:08,055

Um, now the weather's right man.

1407

54:08 ,055 --> 00:54:11,924

I'm ready to get out and, you know,

hit, you know, look like a, look what

1408

54:11 ,924 --> 00:54:13,545

they call it, a kook, you know, for

1409

54:14 ,205 --> 00:54:14,805

Annalise Basso: Oh yeah.

1410

54:14 ,805 --> 00:54:14,807

Oh yeah.

1411

54:15 ,525 --> 00:54:19,005

And it's so fun to go out there and just

clog up the lineup and just be a, be a,

1412

54:19 ,245 --> 00:54:21,645

like, I don't take myself very seriously.

1413

54:21 ,645 --> 00:54:25,634

Like I, I am not a. I'm very amateur.

1414

54:25 ,665 --> 00:54:28,694

Like, I mean, the biggest wave

I've probably, I've paddled into is

1415

54:28 ,694 --> 00:54:33,254

probably like six feet, seven feet,

um, which isn't too small, but still

1416

54:33 ,254 --> 00:54:35,234

I bomb more often than I shred.

1417

54:36 ,975 --> 00:54:38,654

Marc Preston: Well, well, as long

as you're out there doing it,

1418

54:38 ,654 --> 00:54:39,705

that's what makes a difference.

1419

54:39 ,734 --> 00:54:40,065

Annalise Basso: Mm-hmm.

1420

54:40 ,305 --> 00:54:42,076

Marc Preston: Um, now last

couple questions I got for you.

1421

54:42 ,254 --> 00:54:45,225

Uh, my, my youngest is out suntanning.

1422

54:45 ,225 --> 00:54:46,665

She's like, are you done

with your interview yet?

1423

54:47 ,355 --> 00:54:49,455

That's not what she sounds like,

but that's the way I'm interpreting.

1424

54:49 ,964 --> 00:54:54,555

Um, so if you weren't doing this for

a living, what would you be doing?

1425

54:54 ,645 --> 00:54:57,165

What would be the number

two thing to bring you joy?

1426

54:57 ,254 --> 00:55:00,915

You know, if somebody said, uh, TV and

film doesn't exist anymore, you know,

1427

55:00 ,915 --> 00:55:05,565

or theater or anything, acting creative,

you've gotta come up with something else.

1428

55:05 ,835 --> 00:55:06,915

What would fit for you?

1429

55:07 ,875 --> 00:55:08,444

Annalise Basso: So,

1430

55:10 ,605 --> 00:55:11,565

I'm sorry, lawyer's, daughter.

1431

55:11 ,565 --> 00:55:13,095

I'm seeing what the loopholes are.

1432

55:13 ,095 --> 00:55:15,290

I'm seeing hypothetical.

1433

55:15 ,509 --> 00:55:15,730

Um,

1434

55:16 ,035 --> 00:55:17,745

Marc Preston: you got the

disclaimers running in your mind.

1435

55:17 ,745 --> 00:55:17,924

Yeah.

1436

55:18 ,225 --> 00:55:19,569

Annalise Basso: So does, does.

1437

55:20 ,685 --> 00:55:22,335

Could I be a dance teacher?

1438

55:22 ,335 --> 00:55:23,775

Because I do that and I love it.

1439

55:23 ,780 --> 00:55:23,950

Yeah,

1440

55:24 ,105 --> 00:55:24,255

Marc Preston: yeah.

1441

55:24 ,255 --> 00:55:24,945

Absolutely.

1442

55:24 ,945 --> 00:55:25,575

Absolutely.

1443

55:25 ,635 --> 00:55:25,875

Annalise Basso: Yeah.

1444

55:26 ,205 --> 00:55:28,995

Marc Preston: Uh, I, I see outside

of what we mostly know you for.

1445

55:29 ,025 --> 00:55:29,115

Mm-hmm.

1446

55:29 ,115 --> 00:55:30,405

And that would be the dance teacher.

1447

55:30 ,555 --> 00:55:31,005

There you go.

1448

55:31 ,005 --> 00:55:31,395

See that.

1449

55:31 ,730 --> 00:55:33,285

And, and you could have

folks in your living room.

1450

55:33 ,290 --> 00:55:34,515

I, I, I gotta get one of the bar.

1451

55:34 ,515 --> 00:55:36,855

I'm looking at that going, man, I

could really stretch out my backs.

1452

55:36 ,915 --> 00:55:37,335

It's great.

1453

55:37 ,335 --> 00:55:37,845

And I'm like, it's

1454

55:37 ,845 --> 00:55:38,145

Annalise Basso: great.

1455

55:38 ,535 --> 00:55:39,735

I mean, I, I stretch on it.

1456

55:39 ,750 --> 00:55:41,265

I'm like, almost every day and use it.

1457

55:41 ,265 --> 00:55:43,485

Like, I go through the lesson

plans and there's something

1458

55:43 ,695 --> 00:55:46,245

that's so lovely about teaching.

1459

55:46 ,425 --> 00:55:50,385

'cause when I teach these girls, like

the youngest in the class is I think

1460

55:50 ,385 --> 00:55:53,295

seven or eight, and the oldest is

nine, nine and a half, about to be 10.

1461

55:53 ,715 --> 00:55:58,935

And just going through the basics, it's

not just about teaching them how to dance,

1462

55:58 ,935 --> 00:56:05,505

it's teaching them body awareness and how

to be strong and disciplined and poised.

1463

56:05 ,505 --> 00:56:08,625

Like one of the girls was like, why

are you pushing us so hard today?

1464

56:08 ,925 --> 00:56:10,635

And I was like, because

that's how you make progress.

1465

56:10 ,635 --> 00:56:11,445

That's how you grow.

1466

56:11 ,445 --> 00:56:13,455

And she had this moment,

I'm like, oh yeah.

1467

56:13 ,455 --> 00:56:18,075

And she, you know, worked through the rest

of the class and she got tired and I mean.

1468

56:19 ,170 --> 00:56:22,710

Teaching kids how to, I don't know.

1469

56:22 ,710 --> 00:56:27,330

Not only just push through discomfort,

but to be strong and give them

1470

56:27 ,330 --> 00:56:31,110

a, yeah, teach them, like sharing

the love of dance with them.

1471

56:31 ,560 --> 00:56:32,640

It's just, it's fun.

1472

56:32 ,880 --> 00:56:33,270

I love it.

1473

56:33 ,450 --> 00:56:35,310

Marc Preston: I think with that, a

discipline like that, they could stand

1474

56:35 ,310 --> 00:56:37,830

on their own two feet literally and

figuratively, you know, it's kind

1475

56:37 ,830 --> 00:56:41,760

of a know or one foot or, or yes.

1476

56:41 ,760 --> 00:56:42,480

Or one foot.

1477

56:42 ,480 --> 00:56:42,810

Yeah.

1478

56:42 ,815 --> 00:56:44,040

And, and, and spin.

1479

56:44 ,045 --> 00:56:45,270

Sorry, sorry.

1480

56:45 ,835 --> 00:56:46,650

No, no, no.

1481

56:46 ,650 --> 00:56:48,180

Believe me, I'm a, I'm a dad joke.

1482

56:48 ,420 --> 00:56:49,740

Like Jedi.

1483

56:50 ,220 --> 00:56:51,870

Um, now the last question I got for you.

1484

56:51 ,960 --> 00:56:54,720

If you were to jump into that DeLorean

and travel back to when you were

1485

56:54 ,720 --> 00:56:58,710

16 years old and you got a piece of

advice you wanna drop to yourself to

1486

56:58 ,710 --> 00:57:01,920

make that moment in your life somehow

better or put yourself on a little bit

1487

57:01 ,920 --> 00:57:05,670

different track, what would that piece

of advice be to 16-year-old, to you?

1488

57:07 ,185 --> 00:57:12,450

Annalise Basso: Um, probably

just trust yourself.

1489

57:13 ,230 --> 00:57:17,250

Trust yourself more people's

opinions really don't matter.

1490

57:17 ,340 --> 00:57:17,400

Yeah.

1491

57:17 ,970 --> 00:57:22,020

And don't let their opinions

of you or your art or your

1492

57:22 ,020 --> 00:57:24,180

life define what it means.

1493

57:24 ,180 --> 00:57:26,280

Like you Yeah.

1494

57:26 ,280 --> 00:57:26,880

Trust yourself.

1495

57:27 ,390 --> 00:57:28,470

Marc Preston: Very, very good.

1496

57:28 ,470 --> 00:57:29,100

I like that.

1497

57:29 ,280 --> 00:57:30,780

Well, to Annise, thank you so much.

1498

57:30 ,780 --> 00:57:34,320

I, I appreciate you sharing some

time and, uh, it was a lot of fun.

1499

57:34 ,320 --> 00:57:38,010

And, and I'm looking forward to,

uh, checking out the, uh, film like

1500

57:38 ,010 --> 00:57:42,210

again, you know, the cast of life at

Chuck just is just excited to see it.

1501

57:42 ,210 --> 00:57:44,340

That's actually, you know, I'm gonna

go to the theater to see this one.

1502

57:44 ,400 --> 00:57:47,100

Annalise Basso: I appreciate you going

to the theater because I think seeing

1503

57:47 ,100 --> 00:57:52,290

this is one of those movies where, yeah,

you could stream it, but seeing it in a

1504

57:52 ,290 --> 00:57:58,620

theater with people, hearing them laugh,

hearing them cry, hearing them being

1505

57:58 ,620 --> 00:58:00,635

a part of this experience, it's like.

1506

58:02 ,010 --> 00:58:05,010

Yeah, it, I would, I would

recommend going to the theater, so

1507

58:05 ,250 --> 00:58:05,640

Marc Preston: very good.

1508

58:05 ,640 --> 00:58:08,130
