We did.04:03.703 --> 04:04.384[SPEAKER_04]: We did.04:04.364 --> 04:05.065[SPEAKER_04]: okay.04:05.426 --> 04:11.436[SPEAKER_04]: You know what I saw the other I was doing this a little bit of cursory looking around and I saw the show ended six years ago.04:11.456 --> 04:12.899[SPEAKER_04]: I can't believe it's that long ago.04:12.919 --> 04:14.121[SPEAKER_02]: I did it.04:14.462 --> 04:27.705[SPEAKER_02]: That would have that shocks me to I didn't never really thought about that but six years seems like a I mean it feels like a lifetime ago but yeah I you know like I I miss it so much.04:28.698 --> 04:31.601[SPEAKER_04]: How can you not miss shooting on a Wahoo?04:31.861 --> 04:36.465[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, anybody listens to a show for any span of time knows, Hawaii 50, maybe will come up time.04:36.485 --> 04:39.308[SPEAKER_04]: You know, it's any show my kids and I got into watching together.04:39.408 --> 04:48.217[SPEAKER_04]: But I saw that as I was like, dude, how can you not love that of all the locations anywhere in the US, or technically US?04:48.717 --> 04:52.681[SPEAKER_04]: Because it's not continental US, but it's still, it's like being in a whole different world.04:52.701 --> 04:54.823[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, what did you choose to live there?04:54.923 --> 04:57.085[SPEAKER_04]: Or did you just go there when you were shooting?04:57.217 --> 04:58.258[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, we live there.04:58.338 --> 05:00.261[SPEAKER_02]: I live there for like 10 months a year.05:00.301 --> 05:05.487[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because we were, I mean, we were pretty much filming every day.05:05.507 --> 05:18.242[SPEAKER_02]: And so there were times where I would go, like if I had a stretch of time where and then I'd hop back to LA, but it's still like a six hour flight from LA, like it's a big deal to get back.05:18.342 --> 05:26.211[SPEAKER_02]: And so, so yeah, I say, I say there, it is like the most special beautiful place on Earth, and it's like,05:26.191 --> 05:40.194[SPEAKER_02]: we were so spoiled on that show because we got to see the island in a way that nobody got to see it, because we would go to a lot of the spots from very touristy, but we would never have an opportunity to see it without it being packed with people.05:40.916 --> 05:52.435[SPEAKER_02]: And when we would film, they would shut everything down and clear that these like beautiful beaches and special, you know, sacred places for us,05:52.415 --> 05:53.838[SPEAKER_02]: It was really unreal.05:54.059 --> 05:54.981[SPEAKER_02]: I feel really lucky.05:55.001 --> 05:55.703[SPEAKER_02]: I have to ask you.05:56.364 --> 05:58.249[SPEAKER_04]: What was your favorite beach on the island?05:58.329 --> 05:59.932[SPEAKER_04]: Because it wasn't a thing I love about a Wahoo.06:00.133 --> 06:03.020[SPEAKER_04]: Every beach, depending on where you're on the island, they're all different.06:03.160 --> 06:04.603[SPEAKER_04]: You know, the sand is even different.06:04.964 --> 06:06.528[SPEAKER_04]: But I got to know what was your favorite beach?06:06.608 --> 06:08.292[SPEAKER_04]: What was your favorite part of the island?06:08.312 --> 06:11.419[SPEAKER_02]: I loved this beach called Makapu.06:11.399 --> 06:16.685[SPEAKER_02]: and I think that's on the east side of the island and that could be wrong.06:16.725 --> 06:18.027[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's the east side.06:18.047 --> 06:32.884[SPEAKER_02]: It's this little tiny beach, the water gets pretty rough, but it's so beautiful and it was pretty close to where I was staying, which was close to our studios and that was, I always told people to go to that one and it was never crowded.06:32.864 --> 06:34.508[SPEAKER_02]: It's sort of hard on the line.06:34.648 --> 06:35.410[SPEAKER_04]: Lonnie Cuyas.06:35.430 --> 06:36.052[SPEAKER_02]: Lonnie Cuyas.06:36.072 --> 06:36.633[SPEAKER_02]: The other one.06:36.653 --> 06:38.297[SPEAKER_02]: That was what I was going to say too.06:38.337 --> 06:39.640[SPEAKER_02]: But that one got really proud.06:39.660 --> 06:41.024[SPEAKER_02]: But it was it's gorgeous.06:41.244 --> 06:41.685[SPEAKER_02]: It's gorgeous.06:41.705 --> 06:42.788[SPEAKER_02]: It has those islands.06:42.928 --> 06:44.412[SPEAKER_02]: You know, deep in the water.06:44.492 --> 06:45.555[SPEAKER_02]: It's so beautiful.06:45.635 --> 06:46.297[SPEAKER_02]: So special.06:47.399 --> 06:48.281[SPEAKER_04]: But I have to ask it.06:49.063 --> 06:51.008[SPEAKER_04]: What is your opinion of spam musubi?06:51.663 --> 06:52.805[SPEAKER_01]: It's not for me.06:52.825 --> 06:57.773[SPEAKER_01]: I really, I tried and you know my care is a little bit of great chat.06:57.933 --> 06:58.915[SPEAKER_04]: Gotta go.06:58.935 --> 06:59.896[SPEAKER_02]: I do.07:00.337 --> 07:02.220[SPEAKER_02]: Is that you a fan?07:02.461 --> 07:02.901[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.07:03.202 --> 07:04.764[SPEAKER_02]: Listen, I think it was a time in my life.07:04.824 --> 07:07.589[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying now if I revisited it that I would feel the same way.07:07.629 --> 07:07.950[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.07:07.990 --> 07:08.551[SPEAKER_02]: I'm open.07:08.791 --> 07:11.916[SPEAKER_02]: But at the time, you know, wasn't my company.07:11.896 --> 07:21.748[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I got back and I taught myself how to make it and I'm like, you should let that look, that look a mocha, but you know, since we're Texans, we're still using ground beef for the look.07:21.768 --> 07:26.193[SPEAKER_04]: Movies, some chorizo, sometimes we did like a little spin on it.07:26.273 --> 07:29.357[SPEAKER_04]: I love all the food that's just packed with cholesterol over there.07:29.557 --> 07:32.600[SPEAKER_04]: It's just good, already eating, yeah.07:32.620 --> 07:34.022[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I didn't even have to do it.07:34.002 --> 07:38.649[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, I had to touch on that because I know the least one of my kids you're going to ask me.07:38.669 --> 07:44.398[SPEAKER_04]: So you talked to her about a Wi-Fi, though, and of course, the last shot of the show was you and Danny on a plane, right?07:44.458 --> 07:48.123[SPEAKER_04]: Was it that the last shot y'all flying off somewhere?07:48.905 --> 07:50.347[SPEAKER_02]: Was it me and Danny?07:51.168 --> 07:51.829[SPEAKER_02]: Scottie's here, Jim?07:53.031 --> 07:54.052[SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, hang on, I think it's so late.07:54.113 --> 07:54.513[SPEAKER_02]: Or was that?07:54.673 --> 07:56.296[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no, no.07:56.356

Yeah.08:27.961 --> 08:28.101[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.08:28.121 --> 08:28.221[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.08:28.241 --> 08:28.342[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.08:28.362 --> 08:28.522[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.08:28.542 --> 08:28.642[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.08:28.662 --> 08:28.802[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.08:28.822 --> 08:28.942[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.08:29.022 --> 08:29.203[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.08:29.223 --> 08:29.323[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.08:29.343 --> 08:29.423[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah08:29.403 --> 08:31.185[SPEAKER_02]: like a romantic relationship.08:31.586 --> 08:38.254[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, what do you know, I don't know who she, I can't remember who he's.08:39.676 --> 08:41.178[SPEAKER_02]: My romantic story.08:41.218 --> 08:43.921[SPEAKER_04]: I was with you.08:43.981 --> 08:44.422[SPEAKER_04]: Never mind.08:44.903 --> 08:46.485[SPEAKER_04]: Total brain fart, total brain fart.08:46.705 --> 08:48.247[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry, don't scratch that.08:48.287 --> 08:49.909[SPEAKER_04]: I'm even at it at that out because it's embarrassing.08:51.491 --> 08:54.735[SPEAKER_04]: Your kids are shaking their head at you right now.08:54.715 --> 08:55.416[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.08:55.496 --> 08:59.461[SPEAKER_04]: Well, my daughter is over at a cafe studying, you know, she's she's right now.08:59.501 --> 09:01.544[SPEAKER_04]: So she's not even here to hear my love.09:01.944 --> 09:05.308[SPEAKER_04]: But no, it was really, I, it was a great show.09:05.489 --> 09:16.022[SPEAKER_04]: I think as a procedural, it was just so spot on, you know, and it was just, I don't think there's probably been any better tourism effort, you know, for Hawaii than that show.09:16.683 --> 09:18.765[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I know, I know.09:18.785 --> 09:20.047[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's a lot of lost.09:20.247 --> 09:22.630[SPEAKER_04]: I think lost probably the other.09:22.610 --> 09:28.037[SPEAKER_02]: I was a massive fan of loss and we, you know, we used a lot of the same locations and a lot of our crew is the same.09:28.157 --> 09:32.863[SPEAKER_02]: So, I loved hearing about, you know, I have to ask, how did, how did that come to you?09:33.003 --> 09:36.187[SPEAKER_04]: How did that show, how did you know, is just an audition?09:36.207 --> 09:38.450[SPEAKER_04]: Did somebody reach out and say, hey, we got this thing going on.09:38.630 --> 09:39.691[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you want to do it?09:39.992 --> 09:42.795[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, you know, I, um,09:43.298 --> 09:59.080[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I had been offered a guest star on it years before I actually did it and I didn't end up doing it and then I had just finished doing a show and it came around again, I think10:00.308 --> 10:09.668[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I did have some relationship with Peter Lankov, the creator, and where we know we wanted to work together.10:09.688 --> 10:17.305[SPEAKER_02]: And then I ended up reading for this character, and I actually wasn't convinced that I was going to end up doing it because I, I, I could10:17.285 --> 10:19.949[SPEAKER_02]: picture myself living in Hawaii.10:19.969 --> 10:21.352[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just like, is I what I'm doing right now?10:21.372 --> 10:22.814[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just going to move to Hawaii.10:22.914 --> 10:24.537[SPEAKER_02]: That just seems like kind of impossible.10:25.038 --> 10:28.764[SPEAKER_02]: And then as the process went on, it dials up and I was on a plane.10:28.784 --> 10:31.268[SPEAKER_02]: It all, it happened pretty quick to be honest.10:32.129 --> 10:37.538[SPEAKER_02]: And I remember the first day I was there staying, you know, they put me in a hotel before I.10:37.518 --> 10:38.560[SPEAKER_02]: found a place to live.10:39.703 --> 10:46.437[SPEAKER_02]: And I remember going up the elevator and the elevator was completely packed with tourists and I had this moment of like, where am I?10:46.557 --> 10:48.321[SPEAKER_02]: This is what I've done.10:48.401 --> 10:48.642[SPEAKER_02]: What?10:48.662 --> 10:50.025[SPEAKER_02]: Like, and I sort of had a panic attack.10:50.345 --> 10:55.797[SPEAKER_02]: But I got it together and truly, I think, I really10:55.777 --> 10:59.824[SPEAKER_04]: it wasn't a kind of like surreal a little bit when you're going out gone to a vacation destination.11:00.445 --> 11:16.333[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was like the people were in the elevator with me with like their floaties and stuff and I was like, well, I mean, I did I was so confused, but I, you know, I recently told my husband that like, I said, I, you know, I think I didn't want you to throw my ashes and who I want to die.11:16.313 --> 11:17.896[SPEAKER_02]: That's how much I got.11:18.717 --> 11:21.762[SPEAKER_04]: The funerals out there just kind of so cool the way they do that.11:21.923 --> 11:23.445[SPEAKER_04]: You know, it was a pre-emation.11:23.465 --> 11:24.968[SPEAKER_04]: This went dark really fast.11:25.268 --> 11:26.591[SPEAKER_04]: No, I wasn't looking to cremation.11:27.652 --> 11:29.335[SPEAKER_04]: But it's just kind of beautiful what they do.11:29.395 --> 11:31.218[SPEAKER_04]: You know, there's what I told you.11:31.379 --> 11:38.391[SPEAKER_04]: There's kind of a, I'm not a, what do you call it, woo, woo person, if you will, but there's some just it's kind of like a magical vibe about the place.11:38.451 --> 11:39.132[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.11:39.112 --> 11:56.601[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god there really is it's it's such a part of I mean it's a massive part of their culture but you know before we started any season to they would have people come and bless the crew and bless the set and it was just such a beautiful you know element to have in the background doing this show.11:57.122 --> 11:58.624[SPEAKER_04]: You're from Canada originally right?11:59.045 --> 11:59.425[SPEAKER_02]: I am.12:00.207 --> 12:03.432[SPEAKER_04]: So are you a cold weather or a warm weather person inherently?12:04.778 --> 12:17.021[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to tell you that I'm a cold weather person and living in LA, I really do miss the seasons, but I'll tell you when I go back to the East Coast of Canada where I'm from, I can't survive there anymore.12:17.061 --> 12:20.687[SPEAKER_02]: You really get used to the heat quick living in LA.12:21.148 --> 12:25.316[SPEAKER_02]: I can't even open my eyes outside and get used to the Canada anymore.12:25.336 --> 12:26.398[SPEAKER_02]: Like, such a whip.12:27.728 --> 12:29.330[SPEAKER_04]: We're in Canada, did you grow up?12:29.490 --> 12:34.556[SPEAKER_02]: I grew up in Montreal, so Montreal is a very different place in the rest of Canada.12:36.118 --> 12:41.625[SPEAKER_02]: It looks very different and the feel is very different because of the politics and language there.12:42.667 --> 12:44.689[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, my parents still live there.12:44.729 --> 12:46.591[SPEAKER_02]: It's a very special place to me.12:46.852 --> 12:48.594[SPEAKER_04]: Did you come up in a creative family?12:48.654 --> 12:51.137[SPEAKER_04]: Or did you folks do something completely unrelated?12:51.674 --> 12:52.755[SPEAKER_02]: They did something unrelated.12:52.815 --> 12:55.277[SPEAKER_02]: My mom was a dentist for 40 years.12:55.658 --> 13:00.682[SPEAKER_02]: My dad was a CFO of a company and the lawyer.13:00.742 --> 13:04.005[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't know anything about the industry.13:04.185 --> 13:05.987[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know anything about it.13:06.067 --> 13:08.129[SPEAKER_02]: Either I didn't know a single person who was in it.13:08.189 --> 13:09.810[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know that this could be a career.13:09.870 --> 13:12.313[SPEAKER_02]: So we were all sort of starting from scratch.13:12.413 --> 13:14.635[SPEAKER_02]: But my mom was an artist.13:14.815 --> 13:18.498[SPEAKER_02]: And so I do come from a creative background.13:18.698 --> 13:21.681[SPEAKER_02]: She's a painter and a prolific knitter.13:21.661 --> 13:24.085[SPEAKER_02]: Um, she's a, you know, she's a maker of things.13:24.386 --> 13:26.069[SPEAKER_02]: So it's in my blood.13:26.089 --> 13:28.393[SPEAKER_04]: So is your family, uh, friend?13:28.413 --> 13:30.497[SPEAKER_04]: I like the full French Canadian thing or their friend.13:30.517 --> 13:33.202[SPEAKER_04]: You French descent or did you, uh, because I don't care.13:33.222 --> 13:33.402[SPEAKER_04]: Canada.13:33.422 --> 13:36.648[SPEAKER_04]: It's kind of cool because, you know, I lived in New Orleans for like 20 years.13:36.668 --> 13:36.988[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.13:37.008 --> 13:40.635[SPEAKER_04]: There was a exodus down the New Orleans at some point in time from some folks in Canada.13:40.655 --> 13:41.637[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm kind of curious.13:41.677 --> 13:43.500[SPEAKER_04]: Like, is that part of your lineage?13:43.936 --> 13:45.978[SPEAKER_02]: It's not.13:46.379 --> 13:59.813[SPEAKER_02]: My dad's family for generations have lived in Montreal, but originally they were from well Austria, but I think at that time it was part of Romania, and they're Jewish, but have roots in Canada.14:00.394 --> 14:09.464[SPEAKER_02]: My mom's family's from Goa, which is in the South of India, and she immigrated to Montreal, the oldest of five when she was 13.14:09.524 --> 14:12.087[SPEAKER_02]: So my men and my parents are Anglophone.14:12.067 --> 14:19.416[SPEAKER_02]: Um, which is, you know, there's most of Quebec is frustrating, but there's, you know, a big population of English-speaking people.14:19.716 --> 14:22.580[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I'm glad to know you're at least, you're half part of my tribe.14:22.720 --> 14:23.481[SPEAKER_04]: That makes me happy.14:23.801 --> 14:25.343[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not the Indian part, but the...14:25.463 --> 14:27.145[SPEAKER_04]: Which part of that?14:27.165 --> 14:27.506[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, yeah.14:27.606 --> 14:28.407[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to find her.14:28.908 --> 14:31.891[SPEAKER_04]: Um, but the food in your house must have been amazing, you know?14:32.152 --> 14:36.957[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I, you know, I, you know, I was your father observant at, did he, did he, like, do the whole, like, Passover thing and all that?14:36.978 --> 14:40.302[SPEAKER_04]: I think Passover with a little injection of Indian into it has got to be more, right?14:40.322 --> 14:41.483[SPEAKER_04]: It's like pretty awesome.14:42.205 --> 14:43.528[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, it was great.14:43.548 --> 14:44.089[SPEAKER_02]: We did.14:44.109 --> 14:59.501[SPEAKER_02]: We celebrated both my mom's family's Catholic, so we celebrated, you know, all the Catholic holidays and the Jewish holidays, but, you know, my, my dad actually, my dad loves to cook and learn from my mom's mother how to make Indian food.14:59.521 --> 15:02.627[SPEAKER_02]: So my dad is actually like the Indian family house.15:02.607 --> 15:18.253[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and still makes it to this day comes and visits and like I always, you know, he makes me the special career that I grew up eating and now my kids are eating it and it's, you know, like for him a lot of cooking is tied to emotions and like remembering people so it's special.15:18.233 --> 15:41.946[SPEAKER_04]: What a wonderful thing that is, you know, that's when I cook something I, especially if you got the recipe from someone who's no longer with you, it's it's it's a connection a tether to to, you know, your past, you know, but in the end, it's still challenging though it's so specific, I mean, I love to think sog paneer and I'll go be that's two things on the bread, I go full the the the non I go crazy on that.15:41.926 --> 15:44.410[SPEAKER_04]: But I can't find it who's no good where I live right now.15:44.430 --> 15:46.754[SPEAKER_04]: You got to drive at least an hour to get into.15:47.055 --> 15:49.018[SPEAKER_04]: It's like the Texas Valley and it's there.15:49.378 --> 15:50.881[SPEAKER_04]: You got it, but yeah.15:51.141 --> 15:53.085[SPEAKER_04]: But it's it's so disappointing when it's when you get it.15:53.125 --> 15:54.166[SPEAKER_04]: And it's not that great.15:54.467 --> 15:57.572[SPEAKER_04]: You know, that's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's like.15:57.552 --> 16:01.316[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, you want to even more, you know, but uh, yeah.16:01.336 --> 16:12.066[SPEAKER_04]: So now when you're growing up in Montreal, which actually I have heard, they have a real cool Jewish, they have a some, they do like, like the bagels, they're different and stuff like that and it's kind of different, I need to get up there.16:12.366 --> 16:23.676[SPEAKER_04]: But tell me, what was it, what was it like growing up there where you angling towards a creative endeavor when you were young or did was this kind of a later on in your childhood or early adulthood you said, hey, I want to do the acting thing.16:23.697 --> 16:25.298[SPEAKER_04]: How did that, how did it come about for you?16:25.413 --> 16:46.543[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I, for as long as I can remember, I want it to be an interest and, you know, I took, you know, the little theater courses around my area, you know, children's Shakespeare companies and we did plays and stuff and, but it was something I always wanted to do and my parents put me into.16:46.523 --> 16:51.229[SPEAKER_02]: more serious acting classes as I was like a pre-team.16:52.131 --> 16:57.198[SPEAKER_04]: And they were like, so they were supportive of the, and this was something they were behind you do.16:57.218 --> 17:02.485[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, of course, like they supported it, but never thought that I would seriously do it.17:02.525 --> 17:06.590[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think, because we had to just didn't seem like something that could happen, where we came from.17:06.690 --> 17:14.421[SPEAKER_02]: But like supported it, but you know, they're both very academic and was very important for them that I went to,17:14.401 --> 17:24.375[SPEAKER_02]: university which is like there's not going to university is like a thing that could never there was not a single person I knew in my life that didn't go that path.17:25.356 --> 17:43.682[SPEAKER_02]: So I sort of got lucky when I was doing this acting class when I was I think 12, 12 or 13, a casting director who was casting for a movie that was shooting in Quebec came to the class saw my picture on the wall, asked me to audition and then I ended up getting in so that was sort of the beginning.17:43.662 --> 17:50.653[SPEAKER_02]: But then I finished high school and then really started full-time when I was like, well, just just when I was graduating.17:50.674 --> 17:51.254[SPEAKER_02]: So I was 17.17:51.275 --> 17:54.279[SPEAKER_04]: We were sort of saying you were discovered a little bit.17:54.299 --> 17:57.284[SPEAKER_04]: Somebody came saw, was it a showcase that they saw you do or?17:57.765 --> 17:59.768[SPEAKER_04]: And they just said, yeah, she's got shocked.18:00.570 --> 18:03.955[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think it was something like, yeah, it was like some sort of showcase.18:04.015 --> 18:08.623[SPEAKER_02]: But I was told that she saw my headshot on the wall.18:09.127 --> 18:12.774[SPEAKER_02]: which of course was my school, but it was not a real head shot.18:12.794 --> 18:17.564[SPEAKER_04]: As far as not just the acting thing, but were you globally like a creative kid?18:17.584 --> 18:21.252[SPEAKER_04]: Was there art, was there music, was there singing, you know?18:21.392 --> 18:24.418[SPEAKER_04]: Was there anything like that going on or was just theatrical type?18:24.398 --> 18:27.683[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was always, always interested in art.18:27.843 --> 18:30.548[SPEAKER_02]: I was constantly drawing and painting.18:30.568 --> 18:37.118[SPEAKER_02]: We, I played classical piano growing up as well.18:37.338 --> 18:43.167[SPEAKER_02]: It's sort of a conservatory, not to brag, and you would never know now, because,18:44.260 --> 18:48.664[SPEAKER_04]: People can't see me, this is here, not to brag, but you can't kind of flip it here.18:48.744 --> 18:53.688[SPEAKER_02]: It sounds like such a flex, but I promise you now I could not, I do not play anywhere.18:53.969 --> 18:57.672[SPEAKER_02]: I used to be able to sort of to site read music and I could never, ever do that now.18:58.293 --> 19:09.943[SPEAKER_02]: There are a few songs that I can play strangely when I sit down at a piano, and if I don't think about it at all, my fingers just do it, and they just, it's like, muscle memory completely.19:09.963 --> 19:14.267[SPEAKER_02]: But the moment I start thinking about what I'm playing, I just completely19:14.247 --> 19:16.833[SPEAKER_02]: But still all sense of my body.19:17.675 --> 19:20.061[SPEAKER_04]: That's the in that acting's a lot.19:20.081 --> 19:23.810[SPEAKER_04]: I think acting's very much the same way you really have to trust your your instincts.19:24.050 --> 19:27.157[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I think you just kind of have to, you know, because I coach voice over.19:27.177 --> 19:31.227[SPEAKER_04]: I always tell my students is like, listen, you know, words are powered by emotion, not.19:31.207 --> 19:34.171[SPEAKER_04]: thought, you know, I think acting is the same way.19:34.191 --> 19:41.099[SPEAKER_04]: You've got to just kind of trust that you've done the work and you've just kind of let it flow, but it's coming from somebody's never played an instrument in my life.19:41.179 --> 19:49.910[SPEAKER_04]: You know, so I've always wanted to learn how to play something, but I don't know if I'm that stage where that even makes sense to even do it now, you know, but I know, no, no, no.19:50.210 --> 19:51.732[SPEAKER_04]: Sixth grade I could play the recorder.19:51.932 --> 19:52.493[SPEAKER_04]: We did have this.19:52.533 --> 19:53.214[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, there you go.19:53.234 --> 19:53.795[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.19:53.815 --> 19:57.559[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, so I did have some ability to do something at one point.19:57.579 --> 19:59.121[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm sure you can pick that back up.19:59.928 --> 20:08.625[SPEAKER_04]: curious because folks didn't hear but we had a technical full technical set up and your husband was actively involved in and that's so props to him.20:08.945 --> 20:12.031[SPEAKER_04]: And I heard a British dialect.20:12.512 --> 20:17.802[SPEAKER_04]: Did you meet him over in England or was it was the jaw connect over this side of the pod?20:17.917 --> 20:22.767[SPEAKER_02]: We met here in L.A. 12, 12 years ago.20:22.787 --> 20:26.253[SPEAKER_02]: We actually did a show together for Foxies and Actors, as well.20:27.776 --> 20:35.672[SPEAKER_02]: The show lasted one season, but you know, our relationship has been syndicated, as we like to say.20:36.631 --> 20:38.834[SPEAKER_04]: But you go show it a good deal on that.20:38.854 --> 20:39.636[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we really did.20:39.696 --> 20:42.500[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, still ready to do those residuals from that.20:43.161 --> 20:44.783[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we met on the show.20:45.084 --> 20:50.412[SPEAKER_02]: We, I was cast on this comedy, and we could not find the male lead of it.20:50.512 --> 20:55.079[SPEAKER_02]: I read with so many guys, nobody really felt right.20:55.219 --> 21:00.647[SPEAKER_02]: And then at one of the network screen tests, Jack Kimman, and within, you know,21:01.319 --> 21:04.862[SPEAKER_02]: 30 seconds of fuss reading together was very obvious so that it was him.21:05.823 --> 21:21.618[SPEAKER_02]: So we did this show, but adoreably, you know, we are showrunner, officiated our wedding, and was able to get the footage of our screen test from Fox, which is like, you know, you never really, that never sees the light of day.21:22.099 --> 21:28.525[SPEAKER_02]: And so we're grateful to have footage of us, you know, 30 seconds after we met for the first time, which was, when did you get married?21:29.416 --> 21:31.701[SPEAKER_02]: We got married in 2020.21:31.841 --> 21:47.577[SPEAKER_02]: We just finished Hawaii five o'clock and of course the wedding was canceled because of COVID and we ended up aloping in our treehouse so we sort of kept that.21:47.557 --> 21:49.119[SPEAKER_02]: original date of our wedding.21:49.159 --> 21:50.801[SPEAKER_04]: This is getting more and more interesting.21:50.821 --> 21:51.041[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.21:51.081 --> 21:52.322[SPEAKER_04]: So you had a tree house.21:52.342 --> 21:53.463[SPEAKER_02]: We had a tree house.21:54.364 --> 21:56.347[SPEAKER_02]: At our old house, we had this very beautiful.21:56.367 --> 21:58.809[SPEAKER_02]: Like we had it a very elaborate tree house.21:58.829 --> 22:16.669[SPEAKER_02]: That was like two levels built into this beautiful eucalyptus tree that that's somebody who was like a very famous tree house builder came and built it and it was very, you know, it was built in a way that's respectful to the tree and it was like at the tiles on the22:16.649 --> 22:17.270[SPEAKER_02]: I miss that.22:17.290 --> 22:20.979[SPEAKER_04]: That is, that is totally, because even we're adults.22:20.999 --> 22:29.158[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes it's kind of fun just to like get away, and if the tree house is the place you got to do it, well, that that's kind of like, you got to feel like you've got no way from the world.22:29.218 --> 22:30.360[SPEAKER_01]: You do what you've got to do.22:30.380 --> 22:31.944[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.22:31.964 --> 22:32.886[SPEAKER_04]: How old are your kids?22:32.917 --> 22:35.020[SPEAKER_02]: uh, four and a half and two and a half.22:35.040 --> 22:36.482[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, they're still young and it's okay.22:36.743 --> 22:36.963[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.22:36.983 --> 22:37.083[SPEAKER_04]: Good.22:37.123 --> 22:37.324[SPEAKER_04]: Good.22:37.364 --> 22:40.528[SPEAKER_04]: So, but uh, but we've just downloaded like Indian food, which is good.22:40.548 --> 22:41.850[SPEAKER_04]: And you know, that's uh, yeah.22:42.151 --> 22:43.893[SPEAKER_02]: We're very lucky they eat everything.22:43.913 --> 22:46.958[SPEAKER_02]: They're not, they're not picky eaters, which is that.22:46.978 --> 22:47.859[SPEAKER_04]: They're not what I call them.22:48.019 --> 22:50.823[SPEAKER_04]: Well, with my kids, I had some friends that called them chicken finger kids.22:50.843 --> 22:51.865[SPEAKER_04]: You know, that's all they ate.22:51.925 --> 22:53.387[SPEAKER_04]: My kids are like, just try it once.22:53.568 --> 22:55.250[SPEAKER_04]: If you don't like it, you don't have to have it again.22:55.290 --> 22:56.211[SPEAKER_04]: It's not like when I was a kid.22:56.251 --> 22:58.034[SPEAKER_04]: My parents, like, you must eat this, you know?22:58.174 --> 22:59.997[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, that's a point of view.23:00.097 --> 23:02.721[SPEAKER_02]: They call them butter noodle.23:02.853 --> 23:03.755[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.23:03.915 --> 23:04.396[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.23:04.416 --> 23:04.796[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.23:04.816 --> 23:05.097[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.23:05.117 --> 23:10.847[SPEAKER_04]: In the national dish in England, that's, it's, it's chicken, take a masala, right?23:10.907 --> 23:11.007[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.23:11.027 --> 23:12.910[SPEAKER_04]: And that kind of needs to be the national dish.23:12.990 --> 23:13.471[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.23:13.491 --> 23:14.092[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.23:14.112 --> 23:14.894[SPEAKER_04]: Colonialism.23:14.974 --> 23:18.099[SPEAKER_04]: That's our imperialism that brings all kinds of food back.23:18.239 --> 23:18.460[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.23:18.480 --> 23:19.782[SPEAKER_04]: It's the best.23:19.762 --> 23:21.324[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just a kind of a food nerd.23:21.344 --> 23:24.049[SPEAKER_04]: I end up talking food at least, you know, watch what I said we show.23:24.349 --> 23:25.751[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm happy to talk to you.23:25.911 --> 23:27.874[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's how I talked to Andrew Zimmern.23:27.894 --> 23:30.298[SPEAKER_04]: And he was, you know, the bizarre foods.23:30.318 --> 23:33.162[SPEAKER_04]: He's to end where Jewish kids, you know, so we're talking about Montreal.23:33.203 --> 23:35.125[SPEAKER_04]: When he went there, he's called us great food, you know?23:35.486 --> 23:36.808[SPEAKER_03]: It really is.23:43.252 --> 23:44.114[SPEAKER_04]: the audacity.23:44.194 --> 23:52.248[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I'm looking at the cast of this show and it looks like the most fun cast, you know, uh, how did that, how did that come to you?23:52.288 --> 23:56.656[SPEAKER_04]: Was that a, again, was that like an audition or was that somebody's like, hey, let's go grab Megan.23:56.676 --> 23:57.717[SPEAKER_04]: She's perfect for this thing.23:57.958 --> 23:58.839[SPEAKER_02]: That was an audition.23:58.859 --> 24:03.167[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I think I'm pretty sure that everybody had to read for the park.24:03.147 --> 24:18.013[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and we all feel really good about that because it really does, it is something else to like earn it, um, and know that like you, you fought your way and, and like you did something that they connected with and felt was right.24:18.675 --> 24:23.383[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but yeah, I, I, I, I was sent this script and,24:23.363 --> 24:29.834[SPEAKER_02]: I almost passed on the audition because I was like I, this is a rule I've never done before.24:29.894 --> 24:32.739[SPEAKER_02]: There are lots of women who are very capable of doing this.24:32.879 --> 24:34.602[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know that I'm that person.24:34.662 --> 24:40.512[SPEAKER_02]: And it was sort of a big swing for me to do the audition and then I was scared to fail at almost pass.24:41.073 --> 24:44.899[SPEAKER_02]: But I was like, because I was like, there's no way I'm going to get this.24:44.879 --> 24:49.451[SPEAKER_02]: But you know, decided to just work really hard on it and somehow I got it.24:49.471 --> 24:50.274[SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe it.24:51.036 --> 25:00.762[SPEAKER_02]: I, yeah, I did a tape for it and then had a meeting with Jonathan Glatser and Billy and I read with Billy.25:00.742 --> 25:02.385[SPEAKER_02]: Magnus and who is the lead.25:02.706 --> 25:04.350[SPEAKER_04]: He's such cool kid.25:04.530 --> 25:06.334[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I had just chat with him.25:06.694 --> 25:08.498[SPEAKER_04]: He's just, you know, he's funny.25:08.518 --> 25:12.306[SPEAKER_04]: It's good because you're so unattractive, you know, and that's the thing about the abilities.25:12.326 --> 25:14.290[SPEAKER_04]: He's just, he's rough to look at, you know?25:14.370 --> 25:16.375[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, thank God for his personality.25:16.896 --> 25:19.020[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I know, I know, you say, yeah.25:19.000 --> 25:26.309[SPEAKER_04]: No, I was like, he was doing, uh, he was playing a, uh, back when he did, he played a Nazi officer, then he was in James Bond.25:26.329 --> 25:38.024[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, that's just one thing about this cast, Zach Gallif, an act is looking at the cast going, everybody there is just so spot on Gray when it comes to comedy, but they've been able to just nail and a very special way a lot of dramatic stuff.25:38.044 --> 25:43.471[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I'm looking forward to looking forward to the show just because I'm like, how does everybody just kind of mesh together?25:43.551 --> 25:46.915[SPEAKER_04]: Is it, uh, do you know if he had how many episodes of the show are there?25:46.895 --> 25:50.199[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we did eight, we did eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight.25:50.219 --> 26:06.220[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, it's really, I mean, I find that one of the most interesting elements of it, the fact that everybody's a comedy actor, and it's a drama, you know, and there's just naturally this levity and, you know,26:06.200 --> 26:35.667[SPEAKER_02]: it's something different cast it like I'm thinking of Zach Galvanakis doing this role he's like such an incredible dramatic actor and it's why I'll to see him in this kind of par rob corjory like people you know for doing very funny things are you know rob is everybody's playing it as a drama and it was funny actually seeing the episodes and realizing oh wow that's a lot funnier than I thought it would be or like I didn't think this scene was gonna be funny at all26:35.647 --> 26:41.756[SPEAKER_04]: You know, like I said, oh, I was Tom Robbins like listen, you know, the things he does he can be like think hard to have time machine.26:41.776 --> 26:43.058[SPEAKER_04]: He could be the ridiculous guy.26:43.078 --> 26:46.343[SPEAKER_04]: He could be playing these one, you know, just he just nails it.26:46.564 --> 26:55.798[SPEAKER_04]: But in there are some folks like there's one he was in, uh, called the, uh, donor party with Melanacrimen, not if you ever saw that basically in every goal was to26:55.778 --> 26:58.481[SPEAKER_04]: to be impregnated, that's the best way to put it.26:59.102 --> 27:08.152[SPEAKER_04]: And it's all the absurdity going on, but he's the level-headed straight guy and amongst all this craziness and like, so he was kind of a flip, but I just adore him.27:08.172 --> 27:21.246[SPEAKER_04]: He's wonderful, but I want to know more about what you did as far as you were, without giving too much away, what is, what's this kind of the background, or who is your character, and how do you plug into the show or the cast rather?27:21.344 --> 27:36.490[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I play a new Scott but a chair a fister, a really strong, hyphenated name as we all love on the show, and she's the chief ethicist at what we're calling Cooper Tino.27:37.412 --> 27:41.158[SPEAKER_02]: So you make your own conclusions about what that is.27:41.138 --> 27:49.092[SPEAKER_02]: And it's sort of an interesting title to have in the tech world and the ethicist in a world that is like extremely corrupt.27:49.994 --> 27:59.130[SPEAKER_02]: But she's she's somebody who she's full of these contradictions, you know, she's it's so interesting because she's a person who.27:59.110 --> 28:05.217[SPEAKER_02]: You know, values loyalty, which she's having an affair with Duncan, who Billy plays.28:06.018 --> 28:12.446[SPEAKER_02]: She is an ethicist, but she ultimately sides with money and self-interest.28:12.606 --> 28:25.641[SPEAKER_02]: So that's something that all these characters are incredibly nuanced and layered, which is something that was so exciting that's all to Jonathan's credit, you know, he's an incredible writer.28:25.958 --> 28:27.202[SPEAKER_04]: I'm so excited to see it.28:27.263 --> 28:31.297[SPEAKER_04]: And we were having a little Cupertino issue at the beginning of the our market.28:31.317 --> 28:31.939[SPEAKER_04]: We were.28:33.464 --> 28:33.986[SPEAKER_02]: I know.28:34.006 --> 28:35.150[SPEAKER_02]: But they're saying you'll be enough.28:35.331 --> 28:37.217[SPEAKER_02]: I had no idea how to solve it.28:38.041 --> 28:38.702[SPEAKER_04]: We're all good.28:38.722 --> 28:39.083[SPEAKER_04]: We're all good.28:39.103 --> 28:40.366[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, where did you shoot the show?28:41.208 --> 28:42.510[SPEAKER_02]: We shot it in Vancouver.28:42.530 --> 28:50.447[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and then we did a lot of the, well, I didn't go, but they did a lot of the series in Silicon Valley, which we'll be doing again for season two.28:50.728 --> 28:57.923[SPEAKER_04]: The whole Silicon Valley thing is, uh, you know, I watched, uh, kind of thing I was watching Anthony Bourdain when he went to, I think was San Francisco.28:57.903 --> 29:02.667[SPEAKER_04]: And where he was, they're talking about the whole tech bro thing and how that changed the culture.29:02.707 --> 29:04.269[SPEAKER_04]: It changed real estate.29:04.309 --> 29:05.610[SPEAKER_04]: It just changed everything.29:05.750 --> 29:07.892[SPEAKER_04]: And it's just, you're getting different people.29:07.932 --> 29:15.899[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I go, we'll back when I was in school in the 80s and early 90s, you know, talk about the geeks in the nerds and all I can say, well, they run the world now, you know?29:15.959 --> 29:23.586[SPEAKER_04]: So how does that, you know, so that's, you know, it's ripe for really interesting stories, you know, and that's what I'm talking about this all the time.29:23.626 --> 29:27.910[SPEAKER_02]: It's so strange because you have these people29:27.890 --> 29:37.759[SPEAKER_02]: socially incapable, they have infinite problems connecting to people living in the present, seeing what's actually in front of them.29:37.779 --> 29:46.287[SPEAKER_02]: And these are the people that are deciding how we live, how we, you know, act on our phone, act in like relationships, acts sexually with people.29:46.328 --> 29:54.235[SPEAKER_02]: Like these are the people that are dictating it, these, you know, men and women who are completely out of touch with actually how to do those things.29:54.215 --> 30:04.734[SPEAKER_04]: Ex, well, it's funny called social media, but in watching anybody's seen the, uh, the movie The Social Network, you look, you know, Mark Zuckerberg wasn't, or you would call a very socially adept person yet.30:04.754 --> 30:08.441[SPEAKER_04]: He's running this monolithic social thing, you know.30:08.782 --> 30:08.882[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.30:08.902 --> 30:10.364[SPEAKER_04]: But what is your view on social media?30:10.385 --> 30:12.007[SPEAKER_04]: Let's talk to somebody yesterday about that.30:12.068 --> 30:12.308[SPEAKER_04]: That, that,30:12.288 --> 30:18.718[SPEAKER_04]: If it wasn't really tethered to what it is, you know, business wise, you know, we kind of got to be plugged in to social media.30:19.059 --> 30:27.993[SPEAKER_04]: If I wasn't for that, I don't know if I'd mess with it, especially now, I just, I kind of have a, I don't think if I get to off of a long session on so, on the socials and feels really great about them.30:28.013 --> 30:30.617[SPEAKER_04]: So, which other things kind of ironic, you know?30:30.597 --> 30:40.653[SPEAKER_04]: What is your feeling about that, and do you feel that there's, I'm just kind of throwing this as random question, do you think it's kind of changing a little bit where people are like, yeah, not as much.30:40.753 --> 30:42.379[SPEAKER_04]: It's not as charming as it wants to us.30:42.713 --> 30:48.564[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm hearing that the younger generation, like my friends who have slightly older kids, that my own.30:48.725 --> 30:52.873[SPEAKER_02]: They say, but like, they're really pushing back against social media.30:52.913 --> 30:54.235[SPEAKER_02]: They want to be offline.30:54.316 --> 30:57.261[SPEAKER_02]: They're not interested in it, which I think is really great.30:57.722 --> 31:00.267[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, obviously I see the infinite dangers of it.31:00.387 --> 31:02.832[SPEAKER_02]: I'm completely addicted myself.31:02.812 --> 31:06.395[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't know what to tell you.31:06.435 --> 31:10.459[SPEAKER_02]: At the end of the day, I can't even see it anymore because like I've spent too much time staring at my phone.31:11.680 --> 31:15.743[SPEAKER_04]: But my daughter, my 20-year-old, ask her, what are you just been on the phone?31:15.843 --> 31:16.464[SPEAKER_04]: What are you doing?31:16.524 --> 31:16.844[SPEAKER_04]: Nothing.31:17.024 --> 31:18.125[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you're doing something.31:18.145 --> 31:18.886[SPEAKER_04]: What are you looking at?31:18.926 --> 31:19.807[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I don't know.31:19.887 --> 31:22.909[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes I'm like, look at a different, I mean, I can see people's cooking.31:22.949 --> 31:24.511[SPEAKER_04]: That's kind of cool or maybe, you know.31:24.791 --> 31:29.675[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, I've to admit, you ever see those like fast-forwarded, 3D printing videos like this.31:29.996 --> 31:31.056[SPEAKER_04]: Some 3D printed something.31:31.077 --> 31:32.818[SPEAKER_04]: That's kind of interesting.31:32.798 --> 31:39.607[SPEAKER_04]: But no, you said you're addicted to Instagram, but I got to know when you're looking at what is your, what is your Instagram jam?31:39.627 --> 31:53.845[SPEAKER_02]: You know, my algorithm changes, you know, like there are moments where it's a lot of like parenting videos, but then it's like before and after plastic surgery videos and like cats.31:53.825 --> 31:59.175[SPEAKER_02]: I can't really, it's very vulnerable for so to see what your algorithm is.31:59.235 --> 32:12.981[SPEAKER_02]: I think, but you know, one thing that I learned on this show that I truly wasn't aware of, but learn through my character is really what scares me the most is the amount of data we're giving to these people.32:12.961 --> 32:16.326[SPEAKER_02]: and information about ourselves and how they're using that.32:16.366 --> 32:20.151[SPEAKER_02]: They're basically stealing our information to sell it back to us.32:21.133 --> 32:28.103[SPEAKER_02]: And it's so dark and so scary when you think about actually how much they know about us, like our fridge knows about us.32:28.283 --> 32:29.545[SPEAKER_02]: Our TV knows about us.32:29.705 --> 32:31.948[SPEAKER_02]: Our electric toothbrush knows about us.32:31.928 --> 32:39.119[SPEAKER_04]: All right, I have to hire as a psychologist and you have all this seemingly bits and pieces of unrelated data.32:39.519 --> 32:44.907[SPEAKER_04]: They could train an AI, which I'm sure they've already done this to pull all of it together and figure you out.32:46.189 --> 32:48.012[SPEAKER_04]: You know, predictively.32:48.212 --> 32:48.412[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.32:48.693 --> 32:53.239[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I surf the internet very differently than I did before.32:53.359 --> 32:57.626[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, I would just press like accept all cookies, accept accept what is a cookie?32:57.646 --> 32:58.527[SPEAKER_02]: I don't even know.32:58.507 --> 33:04.696[SPEAKER_02]: But now I, it's very important that you choose essential only, just as a warning to everybody.33:05.257 --> 33:11.566[SPEAKER_04]: What's scary for me, I'll talk about, when I say something random, like really random, and then I'll see an ad for it.33:11.626 --> 33:13.349[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, something's listening to me.33:13.589 --> 33:16.894[SPEAKER_04]: I know, you know, it's like, I was worried about the NSA and the government.33:16.914 --> 33:25.206[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, no, no, Cooper Tino, you know, no, that or whoever, I mean, that's, but what you said about the kids, I will say for the most part,33:25.186 --> 33:34.738[SPEAKER_04]: I don't see that Mike, Mike, it's 23, 21 and 20, they're not as into it, you know, back, you know, my daughter will just kind of scroll through Instagram.33:34.758 --> 33:37.521[SPEAKER_04]: You're right that I've heard that they like more, you know what it is?33:37.601 --> 33:38.763[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's authenticity.33:38.903 --> 33:49.236[SPEAKER_04]: I think authenticity turns them on because everything's been manufactured, it's been produced, but you'll also see commercials trying to make themselves look like YouTube commercials now, like real.33:49.216 --> 34:01.319[SPEAKER_04]: So they're trying to almost imitate that thing, which seems real in, I think we're not going through a change necessarily, but it's good to have a generation who they want to meet in person or as they say, IRL as opposed to online dating apps and all that.34:01.559 --> 34:03.523[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's very hard.34:03.964 --> 34:06.128[SPEAKER_02]: There's, you know, that there's some help.34:06.226 --> 34:12.073[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's like, whenever somebody meet, you know, and I had y'all meet, oh, we were some in-person story and like, oh, he didn't meet online.34:12.193 --> 34:13.935[SPEAKER_04]: Well, good for you, you know, that kind of thing.34:13.955 --> 34:14.415[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.34:14.435 --> 34:26.409[SPEAKER_04]: What did you learn doing this show, you know, because it is tech-based, was there any kind of epiphanys you had, you know, I'm sure the creators who kind of did their due diligence on learning, you know, some stuff about the industry as it were.34:26.589 --> 34:27.450[SPEAKER_04]: Did you learn anything?34:27.810 --> 34:30.073[SPEAKER_04]: You didn't know previously about that.34:30.093 --> 34:34.478[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, like I was saying, really just about the privacy34:34.458 --> 34:43.750[SPEAKER_02]: the information that we give away so willingly and actually the value that that holds for them to know everything about us.34:44.351 --> 34:54.964[SPEAKER_02]: Like you were talking about, you know, when you realize your phone's been listening to you because they sent you an ad, like I think by the time it gets to that point, like they know that's nothing to them.34:55.248 --> 35:01.556[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, it's truly dark and terrifying what they know.35:01.596 --> 35:11.749[SPEAKER_02]: And so again, like it's definitely changed the way that I look at things online and what I choose to give you know so many times it's like I just want to see the site.35:11.949 --> 35:13.050[SPEAKER_02]: I just press accept accept.35:13.150 --> 35:14.192[SPEAKER_02]: I just want to see what's under there.35:14.212 --> 35:17.496[SPEAKER_02]: It's like our attention span is so short now too.35:17.556 --> 35:18.437[SPEAKER_02]: I have no clue.35:18.417 --> 35:25.125[SPEAKER_04]: And even the way they design it, they make a big, big banner where you can't see a beyond, it's like a fence, like you can't see it's on the other side.35:25.145 --> 35:26.086[SPEAKER_04]: So you gotta click, yeah.35:26.447 --> 35:29.931[SPEAKER_04]: So everything is so psychologically tweaked.35:29.951 --> 35:39.663[SPEAKER_04]: But I, real quick, and I don't really, like with a research research, you know, but I just accidentally saw something, did you believe or was your childhood home haunted?35:40.664 --> 35:41.725[SPEAKER_04]: Was it?35:41.705 --> 35:44.108[SPEAKER_04]: I just, I don't know where I saw that.35:44.128 --> 35:45.569[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, I don't even know how I saw that.35:45.589 --> 35:47.051[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, well, I'm gonna ask her about that.35:47.091 --> 35:47.351[SPEAKER_04]: That's it.35:47.371 --> 35:51.216[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yes, I do believe it was haunted.35:51.916 --> 35:54.099[SPEAKER_02]: Why do you still think about this a lot?35:54.920 --> 35:57.362[SPEAKER_02]: I know that there was a grave in the backyard.35:57.402 --> 35:59.445[SPEAKER_02]: I was very young when we moved.35:59.465 --> 36:01.867[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, there was a grave in the backyard.36:01.907 --> 36:04.270[SPEAKER_04]: We had a grave in the backyard.36:04.250 --> 36:13.480[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and then when I was while I lived there, I mean, we must have moved out of that house when I was like four or five.36:13.681 --> 36:25.995[SPEAKER_02]: I was super young, and the only things that I remember about the house were that I would get these flashes of the civil like just snippets of like, this is terrifying.36:26.495 --> 36:32.502[SPEAKER_02]: A woman with long nails pulling a rope and the little strings on the rope coming up.36:32.988 --> 36:34.491[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, did you talk about it with your parents?36:35.153 --> 36:36.656[SPEAKER_02]: I talked about it with my therapist.36:39.201 --> 36:46.457[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I do, but I, like, I, I, I, I don't know what my parents didn't know what to make of it, you know, but I, I do know that they believe me.36:47.652 --> 36:52.098[SPEAKER_02]: But when we moved out of the house, I never thought I never had those classes again.36:52.118 --> 37:00.048[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's just crazy though, I mean, when you say some of this buried, it was like legit like headstone and everything or you just knew somebody had been buried out there at some point.37:00.168 --> 37:01.290[SPEAKER_02]: There was a headstone.37:01.310 --> 37:02.872[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, so it's like a grave grave.37:02.892 --> 37:03.453[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.37:03.773 --> 37:07.578[SPEAKER_04]: That's got to be, it's got to be growing and playing in the backyard to a whole different thing.37:07.638 --> 37:09.480[SPEAKER_04]: That's why like being out of the tree house.37:09.500 --> 37:11.483[SPEAKER_02]: I'm thinking now, is that legal?37:11.463 --> 37:13.966[SPEAKER_02]: Can you just bury someone in the back there?37:14.006 --> 37:15.408[SPEAKER_04]: That's what I'm trying to process.37:15.468 --> 37:17.570[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know if it's like okay, you can't really move the grave.37:17.590 --> 37:25.099[SPEAKER_04]: It's been, this is like poltergeist like, you know, you don't have to remember the poltergeist movie, but they said they moved the bodies, but they didn't, you know, anyway, that's all.37:25.119 --> 37:26.881[SPEAKER_04]: But no, you know, that's crazy.37:26.901 --> 37:32.348[SPEAKER_04]: It's like, I can't imagine going to backyard and how you integrate that into your play as a kid in the backyard.37:32.468 --> 37:33.589[SPEAKER_04]: You know, there's a headstone.37:34.570 --> 37:40.137[SPEAKER_04]: That's something, you're the first person I've ever met that can attest to that.37:40.117 --> 38:02.742[SPEAKER_04]: Now being from Texas, I know people have like ratches where they have a little burial area for the family, you know, like way off somewhere, you know, but as far as the different genres of work you've done, is there's something that you feel the stronger pull to, because like why if I was like really physical, like type of gig for you, did you like that, do you like the comedic thing?38:02.762 --> 38:06.006[SPEAKER_04]: Is there anything that pulls you a little bit more than the other?38:06.205 --> 38:29.563[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I've always loved to switch it up and I feel really lucky that I've had that opportunity to go, you know, one show I'm doing a drama and then I'm doing comedy and then I sort of get the itch for drama again and I love being able to change in that way and I feel very lucky that people see me in both ways, but I especially love when I can combine the two I think.38:29.543 --> 38:38.441[SPEAKER_02]: this show is so, it's so special in the way that it does ride the line between comedy and drama.38:38.462 --> 38:45.075[SPEAKER_02]: It's a satire and so this has been really exciting, especially doing something, this kind of character that I've never done before.38:45.095 --> 38:48.362[SPEAKER_02]: It really feels38:48.342 --> 38:49.183[SPEAKER_02]: terrifying.38:50.044 --> 38:53.027[SPEAKER_04]: And like Neil and Matt, but see that's awesome.38:53.047 --> 39:01.997[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes I think things that terrifying can kind of like be fun, you know, being not doing the same thing, you're not hitting repeat, rinse and repeat on something you've already done.39:02.057 --> 39:02.277[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.39:02.537 --> 39:02.918[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.39:02.998 --> 39:06.001[SPEAKER_04]: But what I haven't you done that you're like, okay, that's on the bucket list.39:06.081 --> 39:09.204[SPEAKER_04]: I need to work with this person work within this genre.39:09.224 --> 39:10.686[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe it's directing or something.39:10.726 --> 39:12.788[SPEAKER_04]: What's out there that you haven't done?39:12.808 --> 39:14.350[SPEAKER_04]: Or maybe you've done you'd love to do again?39:14.701 --> 39:33.268[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, I've so much, I mean, there's so many people I'd love to work with and that's you know I think on this show I was experiencing a lot of that because this cast is so incredible and also to have the opportunity to perform the kind of material that Jonathan writes this kind of dialogue.39:33.348 --> 39:34.229[SPEAKER_02]: It's so dense.39:34.569 --> 39:41.940[SPEAKER_02]: He writes massive monologues for these characters and it's a challenge to39:41.920 --> 39:45.485[SPEAKER_02]: You know, first of all, just memorize it to get in your head and he's constantly rewriting.39:45.525 --> 39:49.830[SPEAKER_02]: So it's always changing, you can't really go in your trailer.39:49.850 --> 39:53.775[SPEAKER_04]: And you have a new cover of script setting on your album.39:53.795 --> 39:58.741[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, or you know, you get it at 12 o'clock the night before he's rewritten your entire month.39:58.761 --> 40:00.984[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, you don't have to scare me.40:01.144 --> 40:01.845[SPEAKER_02]: It is.40:02.446 --> 40:03.287[SPEAKER_02]: You can't wait.40:03.267 --> 40:10.418[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes you would be like, well, I'm just going to wait till the last draft and then I'll memorize that, but you can't do that because it's so specific, it's so dense.40:10.458 --> 40:15.565[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, ah, especially, you know, this character I'm doing in accent, I need to get it in my mouth, I need to get it into my body.40:15.605 --> 40:28.144[SPEAKER_02]: And so you just kind of have to start working on it the moment you get it and just know that like it's going to change, but if you can absorb what the message is, it makes it easier to.40:28.124 --> 40:35.079[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you have to tell me what accent you're doing, what's your nationality in the show?40:35.099 --> 40:42.875[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, Nushka is British Indian, so I'm doing it in Russia.40:42.895 --> 40:48.327[SPEAKER_04]: So did the husband make fun of your dialect, did he give you all the time about it?40:48.307 --> 41:02.450[SPEAKER_02]: No, he didn't make fun of it, but I feel very lucky that I was able to have him on hand to I worked with the dialect coach, but while you're shooting, you know, I had him on the phone, especially with the rewrites being like, how does this sound?41:02.490 --> 41:03.912[SPEAKER_02]: Is this how do you say this?41:03.993 --> 41:07.378[SPEAKER_02]: You know, my husband's also been in America for41:08.438 --> 41:11.686[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, over 20 years at this point.41:11.706 --> 41:13.851[SPEAKER_02]: So his accents changed quite a bit.41:13.911 --> 41:23.494[SPEAKER_02]: And so when I was auditioning during the process, I sort of basically accents the accent on his sisters.41:23.474 --> 41:31.910[SPEAKER_02]: who, you know, well, one of his sister still lives in the UK went to Oxford, which is where my character went.41:32.350 --> 41:34.194[SPEAKER_02]: So it was exactly the right sound.41:34.695 --> 41:36.879[SPEAKER_02]: So so mostly my accent is modeled on her.41:37.079 --> 41:44.132[SPEAKER_02]: But it is, you know, it was easy to slip into it because I had been making fun of my husband for 12 years.41:44.112 --> 41:51.923[SPEAKER_04]: It was easy to be like, I don't know, like Alex will go off, you know, like the Australians, they can nail the American dialect easily.41:52.523 --> 41:54.907[SPEAKER_04]: They have the hardest dialect to it.41:55.107 --> 42:02.697[SPEAKER_04]: There's a rhythm to the Australian and New Zealand kind of a thing, you know, and I could never do that dialect.42:02.717 --> 42:09.006[SPEAKER_04]: I think English British is way easier than Australian.42:08.986 --> 42:15.817[SPEAKER_04]: Well, see, I have nicknames and they like to shorten things up to the, you know, I'm not a biocalli did that, but they like to shorten things up.42:15.877 --> 42:19.222[SPEAKER_02]: I'm biocalli, so it's so great.42:19.323 --> 42:19.843[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.42:19.924 --> 42:21.326[SPEAKER_02]: I cannot imitate it.42:21.887 --> 42:26.514[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he, he like, it'll be like, hey, it makes, hey, it makes.42:26.534 --> 42:27.997[SPEAKER_02]: That's like what he always says.42:28.277 --> 42:30.040[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I, it's, I's so charming.42:30.100 --> 42:31.382[SPEAKER_02]: I could never do it, so.42:31.362 --> 42:42.418[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, here on the island of friend from Australia, and he's still coming over for a barbecue, they call it a sausage sizzle, you know, they had just different ways of saying stuff down there, and I always quite enamored with it, you know.42:49.165 --> 42:54.192[SPEAKER_04]: We're talking food up hungry, but actually that brings me to what I call my seven questions.42:54.232 --> 42:57.616[SPEAKER_04]: Always kind of bring it out the kind of the towards the tail end of our chat.42:57.837 --> 43:04.545[SPEAKER_04]: A little extra get to know you and the first question I always ask is, what is your favorite comfort food?43:05.226 --> 43:06.128[SPEAKER_04]: Good day, bad day.43:06.188 --> 43:07.950[SPEAKER_04]: It always just lands for you.43:08.167 --> 43:10.030[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, brahman.43:10.651 --> 43:13.555[SPEAKER_04]: We know it's not spam mooseb, but we're not going to know it.43:13.575 --> 43:15.818[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's, I'm obsessed with brahman.43:15.878 --> 43:18.382[SPEAKER_02]: I could really have it every day of my life.43:18.522 --> 43:21.647[SPEAKER_02]: And that would be like real deal robin.43:22.007 --> 43:23.229[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.43:23.249 --> 43:24.411[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.43:24.431 --> 43:26.073[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, real deal robin.43:26.454 --> 43:27.595[SPEAKER_02]: But it's my absolute favorite.43:27.615 --> 43:28.597[SPEAKER_02]: It would be my last meal.43:28.737 --> 43:32.142[SPEAKER_02]: It destroys my stomach every time I eat it.43:32.422 --> 43:33.905[SPEAKER_02]: I've been pain after.43:34.005 --> 43:37.650[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, because I was like, I really see your.43:37.630 --> 43:41.715[SPEAKER_02]: I like it really, it needs to hurt when it's going down.43:44.139 --> 43:46.482[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but so I mean you better make a worth it.43:46.502 --> 43:50.447[SPEAKER_04]: I mean you get the good stuff like you know they make they made a fresh broth and.43:51.008 --> 43:51.849[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.43:51.869 --> 43:56.335[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I get I got my I have my spot in LA that we order from all the time silver lake ramen.43:56.575 --> 43:57.156[SPEAKER_02]: It's the best.43:57.537 --> 43:58.218[SPEAKER_02]: It's just the best.43:58.518 --> 44:05.207[SPEAKER_04]: Really, do they do thing like they have the egg on top and everything like, you know,44:06.790 --> 44:07.511[SPEAKER_04]: haven't had lunch.44:07.551 --> 44:08.012[SPEAKER_04]: We tried it.44:08.032 --> 44:18.886[SPEAKER_04]: We want to do there's a wonderful little Asian place in the island, but they're kind of a little bit of everything Korean and you know, little, but they're, it's possible across every kind of, but it's like, it's like, it's not awesome.44:18.906 --> 44:19.167[SPEAKER_04]: Awesome.44:19.187 --> 44:22.271[SPEAKER_04]: Like the great robbered or great sushi or Korean or something.44:22.351 --> 44:28.900[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, I shouldn't do these chats before lunch because I'm sitting around with my stomach is growing a second ago.44:28.920 --> 44:29.921[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, that's embarrassing.44:30.522 --> 44:35.869[SPEAKER_04]: Um, but now the next question I44:35.849 --> 44:36.290[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.44:36.310 --> 44:44.363[SPEAKER_04]: And after noon and evening, you know, sitting down for coffee with three people living or not, who would those three people be you would love to sit down and chat with?44:45.024 --> 44:46.907[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, that is so hard.44:46.987 --> 44:52.356[SPEAKER_02]: That's such a hard question.44:54.597 --> 44:58.561[SPEAKER_02]: You know, now he's at the top of mind right now, but people look cool all day.44:59.102 --> 45:00.223[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't seen him in years.45:00.863 --> 45:03.066[SPEAKER_02]: That is my, you know, he's a brother to me.45:04.307 --> 45:06.729[SPEAKER_02]: We can talk and talk and talk and laugh for hours.45:07.210 --> 45:08.291[SPEAKER_02]: And I miss him so much.45:08.311 --> 45:09.572[SPEAKER_02]: I love to sit down and talk.45:09.592 --> 45:10.713[SPEAKER_04]: He's such a cool dude.45:10.833 --> 45:13.696[SPEAKER_04]: And folks listening, go back, check out the episode.45:13.736 --> 45:17.720[SPEAKER_04]: He's a sweetheart of a guy and run it straight.45:17.840 --> 45:19.362[SPEAKER_04]: I think was a phrase I got from him.45:19.402 --> 45:20.463[SPEAKER_02]: That is true.45:20.483 --> 45:21.604[SPEAKER_02]: That's his catchphrase.45:21.624 -->

to say.45:32.463 --> 45:46.390[SPEAKER_02]: I'm living her dead that's just seems like I'm not really dry from what I could be, but I'm digging now of like my old friends, what am I old friends from Montreal, Laura Oslova, who's like, we work together when we were kids and45:47.922 --> 45:53.799[SPEAKER_02]: She's the kind of person that you sit down with and like you haven't seen in years and you can just talk for hours, same as Pula.45:53.940 --> 45:56.447[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to talk to her and45:57.338 --> 46:02.448[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I, I'm going for lunch after this with with Lucy punch who's on our show as well.46:02.468 --> 46:04.953[SPEAKER_02]: And she's a great time and she's hilarious woman.46:04.973 --> 46:10.203[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my god, someone in Mary Berry, they're trying to marry off their friend, who's just a train record guy.46:10.223 --> 46:14.691[SPEAKER_04]: You know, go watch there is a scene you can even say, hey, I was talking to this guy.46:15.012 --> 46:16.334[SPEAKER_04]: There's a scene with the two of them.46:16.374 --> 46:17.076[SPEAKER_04]: He's driving.46:17.136 --> 46:20.342[SPEAKER_04]: She's in the passenger seat and46:20.322 --> 46:22.045[SPEAKER_04]: It's it's a little crass.46:22.185 --> 46:32.782[SPEAKER_04]: I will say that but that's kind of the there's it but she is so great She could you know, I didn't even know, you know, she does the dial like thing really in the American dial I like just fine Yes, but just ask about that.46:32.842 --> 46:40.094[SPEAKER_04]: It's like there's just guy that thinks one of the funniest scenes He's seen in movies when you and tiny little being her in the front see if it was it was crass It was funny.46:40.234 --> 46:46.144[SPEAKER_04]: I literally one of those ones I rewound and I'm like I was almost crying as laughing so hard because it's just so bad It was just so bad46:46.124 --> 46:49.369[SPEAKER_02]: She is, I mean, and she's fantastic on our show too.46:49.409 --> 46:50.791[SPEAKER_02]: She's also, it's funny.46:50.811 --> 46:51.933[SPEAKER_02]: There's she's playing American.46:51.973 --> 46:54.497[SPEAKER_02]: I'm playing British, so we've like, switched accents.46:56.120 --> 46:59.846[SPEAKER_02]: She is so, so funny on this show.47:00.206 --> 47:06.356[SPEAKER_02]: I just like, I was such a fan of hers before I even met her, and she's like, is delightful as you can imagine.47:06.436 --> 47:07.799[SPEAKER_04]: I think she's just fantastic.47:07.819 --> 47:08.740[SPEAKER_04]: She's fantastic.47:08.720 --> 47:19.557[SPEAKER_04]: Now, the next question, if you're gonna, if you're to look back, excuse me, when you were a young and, I don't know, you know, middle school high school, your first celebrity crush when you were a kid, who was that?47:20.859 --> 47:27.589[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I can't remember which came first, if it was John Travolta.47:28.295 --> 47:39.038[SPEAKER_04]: or, of course, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who is a very, yeah, Jonathan Taylor Thomas was, he's come up a number of times, but Jonathan, you know, ex, I'm sorry.47:39.058 --> 47:48.278[SPEAKER_02]: I, I, I'm surprised, I'm not surprised that John Travolta has not come up, especially like, when you think of a young girl and who she47:48.258 --> 48:01.556[SPEAKER_04]: But, gentlemen, he's just such a cool guy crossed plus he could fly planes, I mean, you know, you talk about it that scene from Saturday night fever just carrying the the paint cans, you know, just like this guy was cool us the board, you know, he's the coolest.48:01.576 --> 48:05.601[SPEAKER_04]: Jonathan Taylor Thomas is for a specific age range.48:05.762 --> 48:09.086[SPEAKER_04]: He's just the guy for ladies, you know, he was the guy.48:09.246 --> 48:10.929[SPEAKER_02]: I was so deeply obsessed with it.48:10.949 --> 48:14.113[SPEAKER_02]: He's like woven into the fabric of my childhood.48:14.549 --> 48:16.752[SPEAKER_04]: That's a, that's, uh, I'm feeling old now.48:17.252 --> 48:26.023[SPEAKER_04]: Um, so the, the next question I got for you, if you're going to live in an exotic island somewhere you really want to be, it's really beautiful to awesome, but there's no, no streaming.48:26.043 --> 48:31.509[SPEAKER_04]: So you're going to be there for a full year and you're only allowed to bring one DVD if you want to watch a movie, kind of over and over again.48:32.490 --> 48:35.254[SPEAKER_04]: And the same thing with the CD, I'll even say a box set.48:35.374 --> 48:43.864[SPEAKER_04]: What would that CD or box set be and what would that DVD be that would be your only source of digital entertainment will call it that while48:44.620 --> 48:47.172[SPEAKER_02]: Um, okay, this is a great question.48:48.670 --> 48:49.391[SPEAKER_02]: CD.48:49.491 --> 48:50.372[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, that's tough.48:51.292 --> 48:51.993[SPEAKER_02]: Music is tough.48:52.053 --> 48:55.856[SPEAKER_02]: I think for a, for a, for a, a, a, a box set.48:55.897 --> 48:58.419[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it couldn't be television as well.48:58.679 --> 48:59.119[SPEAKER_04]: You know what?48:59.139 --> 49:00.040[SPEAKER_04]: I think that's, that's a good one.49:00.080 --> 49:00.801[SPEAKER_04]: You do a box set.49:00.841 --> 49:02.002[SPEAKER_04]: Like you can do it like a series.49:02.102 --> 49:03.083[SPEAKER_04]: You know, absolutely.49:03.103 --> 49:03.563[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.49:03.583 --> 49:06.406[SPEAKER_02]: I think for a series, it would be the comeback.49:06.826 --> 49:07.747[SPEAKER_02]: Lisa Cujro.49:08.488 --> 49:18.677[SPEAKER_02]: I, I mean, I watched that series once a year and have since49:18.657 --> 49:24.605[SPEAKER_02]: Um, movies, uh, it's funny.49:24.705 --> 49:26.027[SPEAKER_02]: I would do this growing up.49:26.107 --> 49:31.875[SPEAKER_02]: I would choose a movie over, you know, the summer and I would watch the same movie every single day.49:31.915 --> 49:34.499[SPEAKER_04]: I'm curious.49:34.519 --> 49:38.445[SPEAKER_04]: So when you were young, you're like, what were one of two of those movies that were just like your jam?49:38.985 --> 49:39.206[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.49:39.346 --> 49:41.289[SPEAKER_02]: One of the, one of them was American beauty.49:41.449 --> 49:42.210[SPEAKER_02]: That was a big one.49:42.230 --> 49:43.151[SPEAKER_02]: I watched that.49:43.672 --> 49:46.656[SPEAKER_02]: I was49:47.227 --> 49:48.689[SPEAKER_02]: still sort of rattled by it.49:49.310 --> 49:58.925[SPEAKER_04]: You know, watching it like when you're young, and watching it as an adult, like an adult, you, it's great when you watch things, you see it through a different angle on the prism.49:59.005 --> 50:00.908[SPEAKER_04]: You know what I mean, it's like, oh, yeah.50:00.968 --> 50:02.169[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's not really healthy.50:02.850 --> 50:03.912[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I know.50:04.433 --> 50:05.174[SPEAKER_02]: I know, I know.50:05.234 --> 50:07.317[SPEAKER_02]: I also watching that as a child, too.50:07.598 --> 50:10.602[SPEAKER_02]: Another one was 500 days of summer.50:11.476 --> 50:13.242[SPEAKER_02]: That was a good one for me.50:13.302 --> 50:14.746[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, watch that constantly.50:14.766 --> 50:19.461[SPEAKER_02]: I watched bring it on a lot, which I have to say does not hold up.50:20.082 --> 50:26.249[SPEAKER_04]: There's definitely some of them, you know, one, I talked to somebody about this yesterday.50:26.289 --> 50:28.532[SPEAKER_04]: Every time I watch it, I just got a finished watch.50:28.632 --> 50:32.516[SPEAKER_04]: Like if it just happens to be on, I got a, is lost in translation.50:32.897 --> 50:34.499[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's one to one too.50:34.759 --> 50:36.401[SPEAKER_02]: That's, that's one to watch.50:36.581 --> 50:41.246[SPEAKER_02]: Like the Killville series of movies, I would watch that over and over.50:41.287 --> 50:43.049[SPEAKER_02]: I'd bring that.50:43.990 --> 50:45.331[SPEAKER_04]: What would the music be for you?50:45.371 --> 50:46.793[SPEAKER_04]: Like, where are you at on music?50:47.374 --> 50:48.655[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.50:50.710 --> 50:54.598[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, my taste is very eclectic.50:54.659 --> 51:00.110[SPEAKER_02]: I constantly have like playlists going, which is obviously a mix of everything.51:00.131 --> 51:03.117[SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't bring one of my playlists.51:04.413 --> 51:09.323[SPEAKER_04]: Um, maybe, you know, that's really my playlist or kind of like where we're at now.51:09.363 --> 51:10.465[SPEAKER_04]: No, that's kind of fun though.51:10.485 --> 51:12.289[SPEAKER_04]: We could do is it's our mixed tape, you know?51:12.389 --> 51:13.451[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.51:13.471 --> 51:17.600[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's I like when I care about someone, I will make them a mixed tape.51:17.800 --> 51:22.189[SPEAKER_02]: I will make them a playlist and I feel like it is, it's so personal.51:22.289 --> 51:25.155[SPEAKER_02]: It's like giving a part of yourself.51:26.435 --> 51:35.868[SPEAKER_04]: And there it's saying this is how I see this is plus is yeah, because you're saying this is how I see you and this is how I want you to see me, you know, this is what I want you to see about me that yeah.51:36.409 --> 51:36.629[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.51:36.649 --> 51:36.789[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.51:36.809 --> 51:36.909[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.51:36.929 --> 51:45.541[SPEAKER_04]: So I'll tell you what I'll do this, you know, maybe I can refine this and say what are a couple of the, what are a few of the songs on that mix tape what that island mix tape you've got.51:46.222 --> 51:53.292[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay, like let me look at my, let me look at what am I playlist right now.51:53.412 --> 51:53.472[SPEAKER_02]: Um,51:54.548 --> 51:56.494[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, of course they changed so much.51:57.055 --> 52:08.288[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, there's this band called Broncha, which I had never heard of until recently, which I really, really had been to an hour on every playlist that I make.52:09.179 --> 52:13.904[SPEAKER_02]: I think a classic, and do you know that I make playlists for every part that I do?52:14.205 --> 52:17.068[SPEAKER_02]: So every show that I'm on, I always have one of those.52:18.610 --> 52:21.313[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I love a band called Shannon in the Clams?52:21.373 --> 52:23.335[SPEAKER_02]: That's on every playlist that I make.52:23.375 --> 52:35.389[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Dr. Dogg is like a very, a huge band that I listen to growing up for me and my brother very special for the two of us.52:35.470 --> 52:35.951[SPEAKER_02]: Dr. Gorg.52:35.971 --> 52:37.012[SPEAKER_04]: Dr. Gorg.52:37.353 --> 52:40.617[SPEAKER_04]: I'm so happy I talked to somebody yesterday and they're giving me bands and never heard it.52:40.677 --> 52:43.822[SPEAKER_04]: I love this because it gives me, I think it's a wonderful insight.52:43.902 --> 52:47.226[SPEAKER_04]: I talked to Jordan Bridges, you know, like a Boberges-Sondry.52:47.286 --> 52:48.128[SPEAKER_04]: Great great.52:48.468 --> 52:50.371[SPEAKER_04]: You know, his whole thing is he loves making playlists.52:50.391 --> 52:51.612[SPEAKER_04]: And that's one of the things you remind me.52:51.632 --> 52:57.340[SPEAKER_04]: I want to do with my guests is like, I want to get a playlists and post that with, and for like, this is one of those.52:57.380 --> 52:58.662[SPEAKER_04]: What great, what great insight.52:58.722 --> 53:00.685[SPEAKER_04]: I'm, you know, I'm, you know,53:00.665 --> 53:18.330[SPEAKER_02]: Also, you should do that because I also love like when I they used to do this on Apple music Like they would have like a celebrity playlist and I I always found that's so interesting because I would learn about music that way But also I'm so curious about what the people that I admire look up to who's work.53:18.390 --> 53:28.545[SPEAKER_04]: I love I love to know what they're listening to Because I do feel it's very you know what I would love to do that because what when I listen a place like that's tremendous insight53:28.525 --> 53:30.508[SPEAKER_04]: It opens up your eyes to something different.53:30.528 --> 53:34.855[SPEAKER_04]: Like the band you just mentioned never heard of and like, oh, that first thing I can do when I go pick up my daughter.53:34.915 --> 53:36.778[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to load up spot a phone.53:36.839 --> 53:37.900[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to load that.53:38.201 --> 53:39.403[SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome.53:39.423 --> 53:40.004[SPEAKER_04]: That's awesome.53:40.444 --> 53:41.727[SPEAKER_04]: Well, the next question I got for you.53:41.747 --> 53:50.361[SPEAKER_04]: If you're to say it like the recipe for a perfect day, time you wake up, time you go to bed, if these elements were part of that day, it was a perfect day for you.53:50.481 --> 53:51.122[SPEAKER_04]: What would that be?53:52.945 --> 53:53.065[UNKNOWN]: Hello.53:53.045 --> 53:53.506[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.53:53.526 --> 53:55.469[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I love a sunny day.53:55.489 --> 54:01.760[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, in Los Angeles, we have a lot of those, but I know what it by comparison.54:02.581 --> 54:03.603[SPEAKER_04]: We have a big one today.54:03.683 --> 54:07.290[SPEAKER_04]: It's like, you know, I'm the beaches right there, and we've got those.54:07.490 --> 54:08.351[SPEAKER_04]: I think I'm blessed.54:08.371 --> 54:08.892[SPEAKER_02]: I love that.54:09.213 --> 54:15.103[SPEAKER_02]: I think, you know, it makes me think of the days that I would have off in Hawaii, you know, walking on the beach.54:15.083 --> 54:17.686[SPEAKER_02]: There's something that the ocean does to me when I go with it.54:17.767 --> 54:20.290[SPEAKER_02]: I really do feel like it's a reset for my body.54:20.430 --> 54:23.614[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, I know a lot of people feel that way.54:23.634 --> 54:25.297[SPEAKER_02]: I love the ocean.54:25.337 --> 54:28.080[SPEAKER_02]: If I can float in salt water, I feel so good.54:28.421 --> 54:30.243[SPEAKER_02]: There's something really spiritual about that.54:30.424 --> 54:31.064[SPEAKER_02]: It's elemental.54:31.185 --> 54:32.586[SPEAKER_04]: I think that and it's elemental.54:32.767 --> 54:33.588[SPEAKER_04]: It's where we came from.54:33.648 --> 54:36.151[SPEAKER_04]: If you think about it, so the elements are all there.54:36.251 --> 54:38.614[SPEAKER_04]: It's kind of like it's all the stuff going on in life.54:38.655 --> 54:40.517[SPEAKER_04]: It just kind of puts pause for a moment.54:40.497 --> 54:55.418[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it really does quiet everything and then and I would do that so often while I was filming there I would just go it that would be the first thing that I did every time I got back to the island I would go in the ocean So definitely that's an element that has to be present.54:55.878 --> 55:04.210[SPEAKER_02]: I think a foot massage is like there's no greater feeling on earth I think or a head massage55:04.190 --> 55:05.492[SPEAKER_02]: huge fan of that.55:06.112 --> 55:13.041[SPEAKER_02]: I think a really good meal, some sushi, or of course for them, and would make me so happy.55:13.061 --> 55:22.694[SPEAKER_02]: And then like, you know, there really is nothing quite like knowing that you have a new episode of a show that you're really into.55:22.734 --> 55:24.916[SPEAKER_02]: That's coming out that night.55:25.297 --> 55:34.028[SPEAKER_02]: When I had something to watch, when I'm reminded that I have a new episode of something that I love that night, it's like55:34.160 --> 55:35.182[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, let's be honest.55:35.302 --> 55:36.744[SPEAKER_04]: In the year 2026, it's a great one.55:36.764 --> 55:37.906[SPEAKER_04]: You know, you have a whole season.55:37.926 --> 55:39.609[SPEAKER_04]: You can watch because you know your power through it.55:39.789 --> 55:42.374[SPEAKER_04]: I just now caught up with homeland.55:42.514 --> 55:44.678[SPEAKER_04]: I never watched it when it came out of the clear day.55:45.018 --> 55:46.721[SPEAKER_04]: Really wild time to be watching it.55:46.841 --> 55:48.163[SPEAKER_04]: Now with everything going on in.55:48.905 --> 55:49.125[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.55:49.265 --> 55:51.028[SPEAKER_04]: You know, it's very, it's very relevant.55:51.389 --> 55:54.053[SPEAKER_04]: But, oh, many pretend it's just so great and clear now.55:54.173 --> 55:55.536[SPEAKER_04]: I just, I don't know.55:55.556 --> 55:56.337[SPEAKER_04]: I caught it.55:56.317 --> 56:02.906[SPEAKER_04]: 14, 15 years too late, I'm not going to tell you how many seasons have watched and what span of time it would be very embarrassing.56:03.006 --> 56:05.930[SPEAKER_02]: But listen, I, I do the same kind of thing.56:06.771 --> 56:13.019[SPEAKER_04]: So it would be a great show to watch and how would you wrap what would be the last thing on that day that would just be the book end that would be perfect.56:13.419 --> 56:19.928[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I love like a great candle and like getting into bed and the sheets are warm and like and not really night.56:20.870 --> 56:23.915[SPEAKER_02]: knowing that I'm going to sleep really well without any interactions.56:23.975 --> 56:29.603[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, obviously, that's very, it's, what's fresh in my mind is, you know, I have small kids.56:29.643 --> 56:32.628[SPEAKER_02]: And so it's not often that we have a night without any sort of disturbance.56:32.648 --> 56:34.431[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, no, no, I remember those days.56:34.671 --> 56:43.124[SPEAKER_04]: I remember those days where you know, there's one day the kids who are maybe the grandparents and like, like, right now, I'm looking forward to Sunday because I can sleep at, it's, yeah.56:43.464 --> 56:45.848[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, there's one day like I can sleep at.56:45.828 --> 56:52.598[SPEAKER_02]: If I can't wait until I can sleep in one day, like now, sleep until eight would be like a dream.56:53.800 --> 56:56.965[SPEAKER_02]: But there's nothing like the terror of knowing you're in for a bad night.56:57.085 --> 57:02.513[SPEAKER_02]: Like if you started off the night with someone's thrown off, you just know what you're in for.57:02.593 --> 57:04.095[SPEAKER_02]: It gives me such anxiety.57:04.135 --> 57:10.485[SPEAKER_02]: So just the feeling of knowing that I'm gonna sleep 100% without being disturbed,57:10.465 --> 57:12.569[SPEAKER_02]: I can't think of anything better right now.57:12.589 --> 57:13.530[SPEAKER_04]: That is Nirvana.57:13.851 --> 57:20.502[SPEAKER_04]: I sympathize, I was there with three kids and they're all three of mine were diapers at the same time and I was just like, oh my god.57:20.522 --> 57:24.488[SPEAKER_02]: So it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was like, you hero.57:24.849 --> 57:25.811[SPEAKER_02]: That is so hard.57:25.831 --> 57:28.655[SPEAKER_04]: But I, but I lucked out, I got three rock stars.57:28.735 --> 57:30.458[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, they, they run the show.57:30.478 --> 57:33.283[SPEAKER_04]: There's so much smarter than me, which is, do you have girls?57:33.567 --> 57:40.655[SPEAKER_04]: I got my oldest daughter's 23 lily my son Zachary is 21 in my daughter Emma, who lives on the island with me right now.57:41.295 --> 57:42.036[SPEAKER_04]: She's 20.57:42.176 --> 57:47.262[SPEAKER_04]: You know, she goes to school in Florida, but she's she dropped her one in person class just so she could do it all online.57:47.282 --> 57:48.203[SPEAKER_04]: She's a COVID kid.57:48.283 --> 57:53.509[SPEAKER_04]: So the online thing for her is just normal, you know, but they all she's graduating a year early.57:53.529 --> 57:54.810[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, I'm a virus.57:54.930 --> 57:56.632[SPEAKER_04]: I'd like how much smarter than I.57:57.153 --> 57:58.214[SPEAKER_04]: Then be there.57:59.035 --> 58:00.857[SPEAKER_04]: There was something in the water.58:01.057 --> 58:02.038[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I got lucky.58:02.018 --> 58:12.167[SPEAKER_04]: But last couple of questions, if this wasn't available to you like your gig, this creative theatrical stuff, it just wasn't on the agenda, what would be career or vocation number two?58:12.227 --> 58:13.390[SPEAKER_04]: What would be the backup?58:13.410 --> 58:16.078[SPEAKER_04]: Not backup, but what would be the other thing that would bring you joy?58:16.818 --> 58:21.307[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't think that nothing that is in creative would bring me joy.58:21.327 --> 58:22.870[SPEAKER_02]: It would have to be something in the arts.58:22.890 --> 58:26.136[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I still pay now and there really is something about that.58:26.156 --> 58:30.946[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I want to say creative, I mean, like film and TV, a film and TV wasn't available for you.58:31.046 --> 58:33.872[SPEAKER_04]: What would be the other, let's say creative thing that you would do?58:34.353 --> 58:35.234[SPEAKER_02]: Like as a job?58:35.595 --> 58:38.100[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, what would be your vocation, Brian, right?58:38.182 --> 58:39.384[SPEAKER_02]: feel of taking pictures.58:39.825 --> 58:45.594[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, when I was filming 5-0, Scott Khan introduced me to shooting on film.58:45.614 --> 58:45.875[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.58:45.975 --> 58:46.295[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.58:46.315 --> 58:48.799[SPEAKER_02]: And so he actually got me my first film camera.58:48.940 --> 58:49.981[SPEAKER_02]: And actually, look at that.58:50.041 --> 58:51.985[SPEAKER_04]: He's coming up with a couple of like at my books.58:52.465 --> 58:52.986[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.58:53.006 --> 58:53.107[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.58:53.127 --> 58:53.227[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.58:53.247 --> 58:55.090[SPEAKER_02]: And he's giving me all of them.58:56.111 --> 58:56.933[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.58:56.953 --> 58:59.237[SPEAKER_02]: So that photo actually right there is as my husband's office.58:59.257 --> 59:00.238[SPEAKER_02]: But that's shy, McBride.59:00.258 --> 59:03.784[SPEAKER_02]: I took that photo with him on film on it in Hawaii.59:03.764 --> 59:16.295[SPEAKER_02]: But what was so incredible is so Scotty gave me my first film camera and I was able to learn from all the, like, all the crew, all these incredible cameramen, how to use it and I'll never forget it.59:16.335 --> 59:25.604[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I was like being top by like, you know, the greats and these incredible DPs and camera operators who know exactly what they're doing with it.59:25.664 --> 59:32.370[SPEAKER_04]: And so, like, I've been grateful to any of the stuff, like, you have a website or anywhere.59:32.350 --> 59:34.453[SPEAKER_04]: Megan, you gotta get those pictures out.59:34.873 --> 59:35.494[SPEAKER_02]: There's still time.59:35.614 --> 59:37.156[SPEAKER_04]: But I tell you what, you come out with a book.59:37.256 --> 59:40.601[SPEAKER_04]: I promise you, I'll be book number one, I'll purchase it.59:40.621 --> 59:42.323[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, okay, I don't know if it's a deal.59:43.645 --> 59:57.723[SPEAKER_04]: Well, the last question I got for you, if you had that delorean, you could jump in and you got to go back when you're 16 years old, you got a few minutes with 16 year old you, piece of advice for that moment to make it a little bit better or maybe get you on a little bit different trajectory.59:57.984 --> 01:00:00.467[SPEAKER_04]: What would that piece of advice be for 16 year old you?01:00:01.477 --> 01:00:16.279[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I don't know that I would change the trajectory because I think that everything that's happened has led me here and I everything that I have gone through everything that I worked on was extremely valuable and like I needed to learn all those things.01:00:17.020 --> 01:00:24.531[SPEAKER_02]: But I would say, you know, when I was 16, I was not, I didn't know who I was,01:00:24.511 --> 01:00:34.609[SPEAKER_02]: I was had a lot of insecurities and I think I would just say, you know, like the thing that you're scared of, the thing that you don't like about yourself is kind of what makes you special.01:00:35.350 --> 01:00:38.215[SPEAKER_02]: So to just sort of hold on to that a little bit.01:00:38.435 --> 01:00:40.599[SPEAKER_04]: Really embrace who you are and just kind of go for it.01:00:40.619 --> 01:00:40.920[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.01:00:41.040 --> 01:00:44.005[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think that would have made things a bit easier for me.01:00:44.423 --> 01:00:45.384[SPEAKER_04]: very good for you.01:00:45.404 --> 01:00:48.208[SPEAKER_04]: Well make it thank you so much for spending time with me today.01:00:48.268 --> 01:00:52.934[SPEAKER_04]: This was a pure joy and I've really just just a real pleasure and I appreciate it.01:00:53.395 -->

I, I'd always fun when we can scratch that Hawaii 50 itch, you know, I love to talk to Scott on a whole time real interesting guy, but you and Bula, you know, y'all are, y'all are dynamic duo.01:01:07.173 --> 01:01:13.722[SPEAKER_04]: So this has been y'all, y'all gave01:01:13.702 --> 01:01:15.445[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, why if I don't experience what is it?01:01:15.465 -->

locomoco?01:01:25.903 --> 01:01:28.127[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I don't even remember what that.01:01:28.267 --> 01:01:29.529[SPEAKER_02]: Tell me what that is again.01:01:29.609 --> 01:01:33.055[SPEAKER_04]:
