Ep58 - An Interview with Priyanka Bose - Saving Croissants & Losing Passports

Malkier Talks: If you've ever felt like the third wheel, this podcast is for you. If you love Wheel of Time, this podcast is for you. If you're bored and have nothing better to do, this podcast is for you. Join Rob, Megan, and Jen in celebrating the Wheel of Time and its statistically best fandom. And ridiculous gaming skills. And probably a few cocktails. And find out which one of them will be the third wheel this time. This is three wheeling. Welcome. It is we're doing our second in the row of doing four wheeling because we are joined by a wonderful guest, ⁓ Priyanka on the move. And looking at Priyanka. Thank you for having me, guys. Thank you for accommodating my my ⁓ my wheels. We understand ⁓ Rob and Meg get stuck with ⁓ with me and my my c my chaos. ⁓ all the time. So Taylor said you like sangria. So we're calling this Alana's sensuous sangria. ⁓ So it's yeah, and it's quite delicious. So ⁓ the recipe is, and I'll be putting this on ⁓ on Instagram so you can get the recipe, and I will be bringing you some to WatCon as well. ⁓ so it's a quarter cup of pomegranate seeds, one large orange, one green apple. One cup of red grapes, one bottle of red wine, two cups of pomegranate juice, half a cup of brandy, half a cup of triple sack, quarter cup of simple syrup, and then you just let it marinate. Cheers. Cheers. That sounds amazing. I am just drinking some port on ice because I wanted to have something sangria-ish related. So It's it's that's the closest I could get, but cheers as well. Cheers. I'll kick it off with the the first question. ⁓ hopefully you can do better than Taylor on this. So we asked Taylor if he had to do I have to do better than Taylor Yes. ⁓ if you had any crazy stories or anything you wanted to share with us, because Taylor was very tame. He said no, I can't I don't have anything. And we didn't know if you had any funny stories from Wheel that you wanted to share with us. I mean the hilarious part is that you know we all wanted to be so cool. Like ⁓ you know, both Taylor and me, we were getting to do so much action and I feel like that in itself was just ridiculous because we just wanted to be so cool and ⁓ and and we ⁓ we we really, really like participated with all our might and everything and some of them would be cut and we'd crib about it 'cause we'd be rehearsing so much and you know and it's a typical actors like kind of like anguish constant. So it was just like our banter our banter together like could be l ⁓ l like a spoof on you know ⁓ taking off from Alana and Maxim 'cause We were just constantly cribbing and constantly fighting and constantly exhilarated and tr to try out new stuff and and the you know, the camaraderie and the one-upmanship and ⁓ obviously he has more muscles than me, but you know, I'm I'm I'm constantly like it than everybody. Yeah, yeah. And and and also to do like I've never done this kind of ⁓ stunts before, you know what I'm saying? So I feel like that in itself was like hilarious because here I am. ⁓ I've never done stunts before. I'm getting to do so much. I can't take myself seriously, yet I have to. I'm getting to work with like some really amazing athletes out there. And I'm I'm you know, I'm I'm learning for free. Like wow. Yeah. on the same lines in terms of funny stories. This was actually something I asked Taylor and I had a reason for asking Taylor this. But have you had any have you had the chance to have any funny or interesting or fun or swe or weird or strange interactions with the fandom directly with the Wheel of Time community? Cause we are a very passionate lot of people. Listen, I know how passionate you guys are, cause there is a whole lot of you like ⁓ I have like ⁓ fandom in Brazil. Some of them have kept in touch with me for a whole year and you know they're the reason why I have any like ⁓ engagement in terms of like the fan pages they have. Then they have these ⁓ pages that they ⁓ open out on my birthdays for the foundation, like you know, ⁓ raising money and you know, whatever I believe in and they're just really, really supportive. And really, really passionate and you know, they've made me feel extremely seen and extremely supported. So it just feels really, really nice that ⁓ I mean ⁓ you know, these guys are not even from India, you know what I'm saying? Like ⁓ to to have that kind of ⁓ that reach, ⁓ it really ⁓ we opens me up like it just it's just the warmth is is incredible because of the show ⁓ that I have received it's ⁓ it's been incredible yes that's great that's that's wonderful I well I would say gird your loins because you're gonna get a lot more of that at WatCon for sure. Yes can you imagine like I am replacing Taylor Napier like ⁓ my God ⁓ I think you could say it's an upgrade. He is he is sending his eyes and I like how sassy is my water. Right? That is the sassiest move ever. And I think he has done it purposely. Yeah, that that feels very tailor-coded, so yeah, that's a very tailor move. Yeah. So speaking of Taylor, did like did you know that you guys were gonna hit it off so quickly or was there a specific moment when you were like, this is gonna be a friendship for the ages? I mean, he will tell you that it's forced and I will validate it. I I I a hundred percent validate it, it is forced. when I saw him, I'm like, wow, he's really good looking. And soon it came like I'm the show ⁓ showrunner's ⁓ boyfriend, and I'm like, ⁓ okay, whatever that means. ⁓ and yes, and I mean the SAS just never stopped, you know, and I'm like, wow, he's really giving me something to ⁓ stay and work with, you know what I'm saying? So I feel like we just ended up having an adventure also because ⁓ even though you know, b ⁓ he say he's quite ⁓ very close to himself. ⁓ you know, the the the fact that he he didn't have any ⁓ option when it came to you know, having me in his life was very, very i it was like i I think in five years I just found a big hole. under his arms. Yeah, 'cause it's we're such an odd like pairing in that way. Like, but ⁓ he's a friend. He's someone I can count on in terms of to give me a very ⁓ you know, honest feedback about a few things. you know, and ⁓ so I'm I'm very grateful for ⁓ how the friendship actually evolved ⁓ through like ⁓ five years. and and eventually it's like ⁓ he he felt like he's one of me, you know, it didn't matter like I was from here. and he yeah, it it didn't and and I I mean I would always want him in my life like that, yeah. So it's wonderful. I have to say it's it's a friendship I think we all adore and love to see. So it's it's great. And just because of that, now we'll have to keep trying with each other. Yeah, it's it's established now. You can't change it. It just it's it's cute. We love it. ⁓ so something that Wheel of Time has done for me, Priyanka, is ⁓ I I've been very lucky that a lot of the the casts on the show have been going to and performing on on stage and doing theatre productions. And I've actually been to four different countries to see ⁓ a whole range of of of people from the show. I'm curious, you have done theat you have done theatre in the past. are you going to do any theatre soon or would you like to do any theatre and it and thus I would have an excuse to go to the country? I would love to do some theatre. In fact, I'm I'm reading with a couple of my ⁓ you know, theatre old ⁓ theatre friends. ⁓ in fact ⁓ Taylor's ⁓ suggested a couple of plays that would be ⁓ you know very good for me to read and ⁓ you know and see if I can put something up. ⁓ because you know the idea is to just ⁓ create I mean that platforms exist, you know, and ⁓ I feel like ⁓ the skill set is not far from each other. It depends on what kind of ⁓ subject you take. I'm not gonna go back to doing Shakespeare right now. I don't see myself. But yes, that that definitely there's so many modern plays that ⁓ in the present day context I can adapt it for i for Indians or ⁓ w ⁓ with an Indian ⁓ woman in it, you know? So ⁓ I am definitely reading. Brilliant. I I will be their friend and center when that happens. Please, that would be awesome. Wow. Imagine the fifth Continent. Yep. Needs to be done. Yeah, yeah. Well that that actually leads to that leads me to another question too. And Taylor talked about this a little bit. So I'm I I was an actor ⁓ earlier in my career, not for a long time. I moved over to writing and producing, and I'm a showrunner as well. And I but but Taylor talked about that idea that As actors today we sort of have to be able to do more. And you're talking about doing theater again, but you would be producing it, right? I know you have a production company, you have your own stuff going on. How do you balance that? How do you feel about being on both sides of the of the line? I think ⁓ you know that part of me, ⁓ yeah, that part of me wasn't updated. I haven't produced anything for a very, very long time. I did have a production company, but ⁓ precisely why I couldn't balance that for a very l ⁓ you know, good ⁓ a period of time 'cause I was traveling and that was more fascinating and more ⁓ you know enterprising to my ⁓ needs at the ⁓ you know even with family it was easier with my child to ⁓ you know travel the world and do play or produce something ⁓ o out of the box and stuff and now things have become a little bit more structured ⁓ but ⁓ in the middle ⁓ there was no window for me to actually produce ⁓ anything. ⁓ I was just, you know, putting stuff out there, ⁓ like ⁓ just being hired and then ⁓ e exploring that ⁓ you know with ⁓ all my ⁓ interest and intelligence. So ⁓ yeah, now now I feel like I have this window where I can get creative again, like ⁓ you know, and ⁓ yeah, start ⁓ producing for myself again or collaborate with people who are already established in in ⁓ the and and and see what ⁓ you know each one of us can bring to the table. So I would love to put ⁓ stuff up right now. I definitely feel a little bit more balanced than I did even five years ago, you know, to be honest. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. I love that. So to piggyback off that, do you think you would want to put Taylor in any of your productions? And how do you think you would handle I think I think Taylor and I, we really, really want to work with each other so that we can be nice to each other. And also like with Taylor, there's this one aspect of me is just like ⁓ you know, he's such a good planner and everything, and ⁓ You know, that aspect of me is very balanced. So, you know, as a friendship as well it works. ⁓ and and as a collaboration as well, it works, you know, because ⁓ our styles are so different. We we would love to work together. You know, we keep ⁓ telling Rafe, ⁓ you know, you know, put us in something together. But I I would love that. ⁓ I mean he's incredible to work with actually. He's ⁓ he's really ⁓ I but well I'm I'm mostly fun. And he is he is mostly. He was very complimentary about you, so Yes. I trained them well. ⁓ yeah. ⁓ Yes, amazing. ⁓ I love that. ⁓ Prig, I I learned ⁓ obviously s I I I did a little bit of research for this interview. I learned something about you that I I love ⁓ the you know what you've done in Wheel of Time. I I love your presence on Instagram and things like that. But there was something I learnt about you when I was reading that ⁓ really excited me and that is that you're also a cinophile that you love movies ⁓ and that you're like I'll watch everything. that that really excited ⁓ I adore movies. ⁓ I j I just I I watch movies more than anything. I I can't help it. ⁓ but I struggle to pick favorites like a top three or anything like that. Do do you ⁓ no don't ask me about that at all. It's it's my worst. It that that part of you know, the the the whole vocabulary and it's like let's test her, what a cinephil she is, you know. That you I I mean I have failed. Because it's very, very hard to choose. The I watch everything and I honestly when I say I watch everything, I do watch everything. And for and some things I watch ⁓ for different reasons. Some things are sentimental in nature, and some things are nostalgic in nature. Some treatments I love ⁓ adore and ⁓ and I get curious behind why I love them. So I really dissect like performances that I have adored and you know, things like that. Some actors actually drive the films for me. I suppose I have loved Sigoni weaver and something, I will watch her again and you know, things like that. And or I would watch Glenn Close and I'm like, wow, she's y you know, things like that. So I I get curious about people and styles and ⁓ and ⁓ and and d different things actually it some are comfort, some are nostalgia, some are just pure entertainment. Like ⁓ yeah, ⁓ and some ⁓ some are very, very technical. Even performance. Like I love ⁓ but reading I love reading ⁓ after ⁓ you know I watched a film and it's really like I have anything I love, I like reading behind it. Like I love reading processes, I love reading ⁓ about ⁓ the director. You know, is it a particular style he sticks with or ⁓ you know ⁓ what's the ⁓ form of workshop they may have done. So, you know, I d I I like educating myself like that because that's the only way I feel like I can keep the engagement going for myself and my brain to not ⁓ f ⁓ you know that's the only way we can ⁓ dig deeper, right? Because there's nothing ⁓ guaranteed for us at all. So this is the only way I can like, you know, keep myself in school a little bit. Right. I love it. Yeah. Yeah. I used to be a huge fan of the director's commentary on things and now they don't do that. It drives me crazy. Huge fan. Yeah. Yeah. And and that that that brings up ⁓ something else. 'Cause i I love that I love that you're both a fan of of I mean I am too. I'm like I'm I'm a filmmaker but I'm also a fan of it. I love it. I go into a movie and I just like let go of my technical brain and just enjoy it. And something that my My husband is a director and a writer as well and something we always do, there's a bookstore next to the movie theater we go to. And so we all and it's got a huge film section. It's work 'cause we're in Los Angeles. And so we always go straight from the theater over to the bookstore to see if we can find the book about the behind the scenes or about the director or it's you know. Actually in Gl and I I've been in Los Feliz. There's a great bookstore here called Skylight. Is that the one you're thinking of? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think. ⁓ the the with the small little theater next to it. Yes, it's a gr yeah, it's a great theater next to it. And they have a tree in the middle of the bookstore. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so cute. I love it. It's great. But ⁓ but then so I wanted to go back to something you mentioned in another interview because this really spoke to me. I and part of why I got into acting was because I was like, Well, I wanna be a I want to be a cowboy and an astronaut and a and a a scientist and you know a race car driver. I probably won't be able to do all of those in one lifetime. So if I'm an actor, I get to do all of them. And you mentioned that in the interview. Can you imagine? I I can actually literally make my parents happy and be a doctor, finally. Exactly. The finest doctor ever. Yes. You know the research behind it and the study behind it. Like I really that's how my brain works. It's like it you know, like just getting to know the nervous system. I'm like, What? See, we are doctors. Yeah, it's great. No, I'm just joking guys. But yes, it's so a incredible that we get to actually ⁓ you know, play so much so ⁓ many of us. That's why it's a very interesting to actually ⁓ study ⁓ the most basic and menial ⁓ and and regular jobs because you know as an actor to make it ⁓ that ⁓ you know flawless and effortless and in in like a daily say ⁓ ritual for a doctor. Like how how fascinating to study that. What would that be? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So true. So true. I love it. Well, I will actually say ⁓ something that one of our ⁓ fans just said and they said that ISI are way better at healing than doctors. So I think you've already fulfilled your parents' dream. So ⁓ my god. I will tell her she will not be convinced. Let me tell you this about about about Bengali mothers. So have you read The Wheel of Time or do you ever have plans to read The Wheel of Time? I do have plans, like I have many plans. i I do want to read it. Now since I know it's not gonna come back and you know, things like that, and I'm like, it I ⁓ yes, I can read it. So I would love to. I would. Okay. All right. We will try to avoid spoilers then for you at WatCon. I will let everybody know. Don't keep No no no. Don't worry about that. I'll still ⁓ you know, ⁓ read it. So it never it never I've I d it I just never ⁓ you know create a reaction like that. ⁓ my god, it it it's a spoiler a lot. It it doesn't bother me. I'll still watch it. I'll still read it. Brilliant. Yeah. All right. Yeah. No no spoilers. I mean there are a few that we don't want y you should not have no matter what. And that everybody is always pretty cognizant about not spoilers. Yeah, so ⁓ but th there might be small things you find out. So but yeah, it's a great read. It's a long read, but it's a great read. So I ⁓ also wanted to ask something about something you said in a different interview. You were asked, ⁓ it might have been in the quick fire section, ⁓ but it was like what's a question that you're asked a lot of that you wish people would stop asking? and it was about how you know, how'd you be so bold and w and ⁓ things of that nature? But I would I would love to ask you the opposite, which is what is a question nobody asks you that you were like, please ask me this question and what would the answer before? Well, okay. ⁓ wow. I feel like nobody actually in India really asks anybody or their approach or their processes at all as ⁓ as an actor and I I don't know what it is, even though, you know, we're very like ⁓ craft oriented, like, you know, there are people who are ⁓ very dedicated to the craft as well. ⁓ so that's something I I ⁓ would love to be asked and ⁓ because you know it's very the cliches of the wordings like journey and you know things like that. I'm already being very like ⁓ my god, I have to now repeat my story again. Like, you know, I'm I'm bored of my own voice. you know, ⁓ a a story have to say about my life and ⁓ 'cause I I feel like like Mean y ⁓ you know, podcasts or journalists, like you know, let's get a little deeper ⁓ when it comes to ⁓ questions like, ⁓ my god, how are you so bold? Like that's honestly I will never be able to answer that question. Never. Yeah. I mean it feels like a tough question to answer because it's like I'm y you're just yourself, you know, like it's yeah, it's it's a tough one. So Yeah, so pro process questions. Okay, we'll have to we'll we'll think up some of those ⁓ for the next time as well. So And I was gonna ask too, also something something you mentioned tonight, but also something that you mentioned in this in another interview. ⁓ you I like that you said you're ba you feel like balance is a little bit better right now. Like you feel like you've got a better a better place in balance. Do you Yes w what do you what do you attribute that to? Is it is it I mean for me it's age. I mean as as I get older I feel like I'm getting better at it, but Yeah. What what do you think with that year? I I mean, I feel like a lot of the im ⁓ I mean when I was by myself in Prague and shooting and everything, it was great. I was without family after a long time. I was taking care of myself and things like that. Mm ⁓ our daughter's older now, so definitely things are much better because sh you know, she's an individual, she has her own ⁓ you know, little ⁓ world that is developing and Yeah, and things like that. So ⁓ in terms of doing that kind of life where I have to juggle too many things, I feel like it's become a little bit more subtle and ⁓ and things like that. So ⁓ I I know there will be other intensities to look forward to, but what's happening is I am definitely ⁓ urging myself for more self awareness. and ⁓ which means it's I'm I I I'm aware of the fact that I have less patience at the same time to go deeper and say that ⁓ this is where I have to gain a little bit more a patience or insight or ⁓ dig a little bit deeper because I'm not going to be escaping this. And vis a vis like you know, s ⁓ you know, definitely dialogue with ⁓ a teenager and things like that, getting to know myself again th via that and you know what what that means and you know, so never to actually escape but actually really go deeper a little bit more and ⁓ and also getting stronger. I feel I'm way stronger now than I have been all the time. Amazing you know? Yeah. So yeah it feels I fe it feels really ⁓ it if ⁓ I mean some days of course I'm breaking Not for any particular reason, but as it happens. ⁓ and and some days are actually really amazing. It's kinder. It's like more stronger, I feel. ⁓ so I guess to kind of lead what you just said back to Wheel of Time, like, so what do you what do you find like you reflect in Alana's character and what's very different? What do you admire about her? What are her flaws? Like what do you think about the character? I ⁓ I think she is flawless. And ⁓ I just ⁓ I I love it that how ⁓ sacred I feel like she has sacred rage and s ⁓ sacred spirit which is very attached to the n novelty and the loyalty towards the Aes Sedai. ⁓ you know, there's a it's a big ⁓ reflection, like you know, as children we were all patriots, we all all all idealists wanted to like, you know, fight for something. And ⁓ you know, where our purpose was attached to the fact that ⁓ we could protect something even if it meant the four kittens outside. Like that, you know, for ⁓ we so so to bring that home with Alana, like, you know, that kind of like a childlike purity of like with substance with all your might, you're gonna keep ⁓ you know, you you're gonna protect something which is of honour to you. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I I found that really like, you know, that idealism was just very ⁓ porous. There's there's a question we've ⁓ negated to ask and I can't believe I didn't ask this earlier when we got talking a lot about Taylor. He told a story about a ⁓ was it a pistachio croissant one evening on a night shoot in the two rivers. ⁓ my god. And ⁓ I'd I'd love to hear about that experience from your point of view. I mean, like I said, you know, ⁓ with Taylor and me, it's always been an experience. ⁓ it just so happens in one of our fights, you know, and he didn't ⁓ end up coming in for something and I was like waiting and you know, I I just had one of those like, you stood me up, you stood your friend up, like, you know, that kind of vibe and And he was just like, Yeah, okay. So we were just meeting in this really amazing set in the middle of nowhere. Great night, you know. ⁓ and he had like these pistachio croissants ⁓ from this one place. ⁓ my god, like literally the best croissant I have ever eaten. ⁓ and pistachio croissant, and he got it, and you know, there were Like the entire set was built on these rocks, right? Like the floor was like rock bedding to ⁓ you know. So I I'm just like, ⁓ my god, and I'm full costume, right? And I am here now, my pride intact and my dignity intact. I don't want to speak to ⁓ Taylor because I'm just like, no. But he's given me the pistachio croissant, so I take it and I and I and I take it. But he's sitting there very smug as he is. He's sitting there and he sees me fall, fall on my face very slowly. Slowly I am falling on a bed of rocks, but the croissant is just like this. I have not let it touch the floor. My knees are scraped and I have blood oozing out of them. ⁓ no. But that croissant did did not see dust. Must save the croissant. So Yes. Cause I I we heard the croissant kind of went a bit everywhere and it was like chaos for a moment. Chaos. Chaos. I'm telling you. I I understand the saving of of the croissant. Meg Megan is my sister, is much more is alive today. She's a she when she was a little tiny baby, we were at our cousin's house and they had a very narrow staircase and I was carrying her down the stairs. She was little, like in arms. And I started to trip down the stairs and I did everything I could because I had to save the croissant. I mean the baby. And I went down on my knees, shredded my knees, shredded my pants. But I s yes. So I'm alive today because of that. Thank you. Yes, the croissant was saved. Yes. Amazing. Well, I also just have to like I have to gush again 'cause I love that you said art is supposed to make us uncomfortable and I think that that's just absolutely beautiful and and wonderful. And ⁓ and and and I think that that's something that you brought so forward in Wheel of Time. You know, just creating this great space for a complex relationship with lots of emotions and lots of feelings, making us both go through it but also be uncomfortable in it. ⁓ so there's more, just I wanted to say thank you so much for Making this character that we like from the books somebody that we love so much more now that you've breathed life in into her. I it makes me so happy to hear that, to be very honest. I am just very grateful that ⁓ against all the odds that you know would ⁓ you know w I mean there was no chance that ⁓ you know my audition could have made it at that time and then Rafe ⁓ called me back for the ⁓ you know the second round. So I'm really grateful for that second round, you know, to to be able to really hit the nail on the head with Alana ⁓ and booking the gig. So I'm just very happy for callbacks. Yeah. We are as well. Yeah. Yeah. So I to piggyback off that and I might be stealing one of your questions, Jen. ⁓ go for it. Do you know where Alana goes? Like d do you have any idea of like what she does in the future? ⁓ my god. I'm trying to ⁓ What happens to Alana in the future? I mean, I feel like you know, after No, I have no clue actually what happens to her. I feel like she goes rogue and then she does what she does, you know, the you know, with the very fair assessment. Dragon. Right? And then I feel like then maybe she disappears. She's not I I don't think she'll be like ⁓ hunted down and then killed and banished forever. It'll never happen. She'll never allow it. Yeah. That feels very accurate. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. I I wanted to ask sort of a a a slightly self serving question, so I I apologize. ⁓ Priyaki, you have you you are one of the four people ⁓ or or or one of the three people so far that have featured as ⁓ an inspiration for a calendar. ⁓ listen, I think that calendar is a fucking genius idea. insisted being on that calendar just because Taylor they did one with Taylor Napier. Yes we did. And I'm just like there is no way in hell they don't do one with me. Yeah. Yeah, I was ⁓ I was gonna ask how you felt about it. ⁓ because we did do Taylor the first year ⁓ inspired because I ⁓ did an imitation of one of his photos and then ⁓ yeah we were like We should we should ask Brianka for the next year because we don't want to want to leave out half of the duo. ⁓ but Jen Jen and Meg actually did two of the months. ⁓ I was misjan. of course you were Meg. Of course. I mean, guys, the effort. I y it's amazing. Wonderful. Well you provide such inspiration. So Yes. I feel like b more than me Taylor's muscles provides a lot. I mean, he goes to the gym like twice a day. That's a lot of work, you know. Yeah, that's a lot. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of work. If you had to choose between theater and film and television, would you put one above the others, or is do you like being able to go back and forth between all three? I mean, ⁓ n theater is definitely ⁓ very nourishing but it's more days into the work than ⁓ the other two and with film it's like you commit to like say a 20 to a 40 day schedule and then you're done with it unless it it's like such an epic proportion you know then you commit and then you move on to the next with ⁓ with television what happens is it ⁓ gives a a more deeper ⁓ you know look into say a character graph the between seasons and you know where it's going and things like that and it also sorts you out like for a year, two years. So it really depends on logistics, like what are you looking at at what time ⁓ part of your life. ⁓ and between theatre and film or television, very two different skill sets. and and it's just like You know, right now I want to be nourished. I am I'm I'm reading a couple of plays and then you know, ⁓ and then it it it balances itself because I know I would want to do television soon. ⁓ and things like that. So yeah. I can't choose again. I I love all mediums. Choosing choosing is always tough. Yeah, yeah. Want to do today, yeah. ⁓ okay, so I will ask a so you said you're not a big drinker, but ⁓ what is your signature cocktail when you go out to to drink or you're going out for the evening? Again, I'm not a cocktail person, but I do ⁓ like a wick whiskey sour. Like I'll have a whiskey or a gin and tonic. ⁓ you know, ⁓ i if it's really cold, which is not in Bombay, I would like ⁓ a r a glass of red but normally like you know yeah I mean I I just like to stay away from anything sweet in drinks anyway so yeah it would be definitely like more sour whiskey sour family. Yeah. And what would a Lana's signature cocktail be? She will make her own Shoe beer ⁓ She'll brew some shoe and she'll drink it. And she'll she she'll promote it all over. And make a whole business out of it. That's what she's gonna do. ⁓ to her enemies. That's incredible. Only to her enemies. Yes. The shoe brew. I love that. ⁓ that's absolutely amazing. I love that. ⁓ Priyanka, you you mentioned earlier about learning ⁓ things when you you do different jobs and that and how you love to learn. ⁓ it was it just the stunt work that you love learning in real time, or was there anything else you learned that was really fulfilling for you? Yes, what was fulfilling is I also learnt that when you ⁓ lose a passport f ⁓ for twenty four hours, what are the steps you can take abroad? I learned ⁓ many things about that. ⁓ yeah. Also my gosh. Also if ⁓ if they are ⁓ you know, deep planing you in Vienna, ⁓ in An ice a dive will be thrown under the bus to just so the so Axel can can can get to set the next day. Yeah, it's true. These are true stories. Wow. No, I'm I've I've I've got to be the the passport one terrifies me a little bit. You you've lost your passport for twenty four hours? For twenty four hours ⁓ Taylor had booked ⁓ and ⁓ planned the whole Greece weekend between me and ⁓ Maxim and our other Ice ⁓ water. and and ⁓ it was his last day. We went to for the weekend we were gonna go and then between security to ⁓ boarding the flight My passport had the ability to just slip out of my bag and ⁓ get lost in the airport. So then they ended up going to Greece. I just had to take a detour because I had a feeling they're gonna call me back, but you know, but they f and and these guys were hilarious. I went into the ⁓ the the police ⁓ station inside the ⁓ airport and they're like, ma'am, all the time this has happened. The passport has been secured from the passenger. Can we frisk you? And I'm like, yes. So we we got up and down, up and down, inside out at least three, four times. And then I went to the embassy ⁓ and they were very helpful. I got all the steps to get a new passport. But within the twenty-four hours the airport called, ⁓ security called and said that we've retrieved your passport, come in and I just booked a flight to ⁓ Greece and I'm met them I met him for the weekend. So it was quite adventurous, but I do I did learn what happens when you ⁓ lose your passport for twenty four hours abroad. Wow. That's survival skills to know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No real. Like it was it it was really fun. I feel like you should be blaming your warder, however. He should have been responsible for your passport and taking care of it. Yes and no. I was also being a very, very sassy, annoying person before he ordered the flight. So he kinda wished this on me, I have a feeling. So feel like ⁓ it's okay. It balances it out. I have no I mean, I don't care. That's fair. That's fair. I love love how relaxed you are about the whole thing. That's amazing. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. You were talking about strength and you s and about how strength is ⁓ you know, ⁓ you've gotten stronger over time. I'm I have a teenager as well. I have two teenagers actually two teenage boys. And ⁓ and I was gonna say that there's you your portrayal of Alana, I think this is part what we all fell in love with from the very beginning, was this authentic strength and authentic self. She's just not afraid to show who she is and she's so strong. And do you feel like I mean from you know, do you feel like playing a character like that helps you build that in yourself and create that embody it as well? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure. Of course. Like ⁓ I feel like I mean, you know, I could imagine I have superpowers, but I don't, right? So I I I would like to imagine all the other parts that I'm playing are as human. So I feel like, you know ⁓ one will bleed to the into the other in some way and and yes how fascinating anything I can't do in my real life I would like to chop someone's head off in in in my ⁓ screen life you know wow yes yeah incredible I I'll I just have to say one of my favorite scenes that you filmed was with you and Maddie when she was coming in and asking you about splitting the weaves and you were misunderstanding her and thinking she was talking about having a threesome. Like how did that scene play out? Like was that just so much fun to film? It was really fun to film. It was like I think ⁓ there was no tightness between the three of us. I mean ⁓ Tom ⁓ had ⁓ Thomas had directed it and Maddie is also very sharp and ⁓ you know, light ⁓ in our approach as well. I was very relaxed, just the dialogue suggested. I had to be, even though I was nervous. ⁓ and the and the camera people, you know, they really helped in terms of saying that, you know, this camera is ⁓ on onto your other hand, maybe you can do something with it. And you know, to really help me in ⁓ also embody That sensuality and the relaxed approach of Alana, she's done there, been done that, and the misunderstanding is also like, is it really a misunderstanding? So all that I feel like you know, when when the set is conducive to it, it really shows. You know? It it shows and it's it's a well done scene because ⁓ everyone supported it. Yeah. It is it's a great scene. ⁓ like both how it's put together and and how how funny it is on the the misunderstanding from ⁓ from Elaine's from Egwene's point of view. So yeah. And and the and the layers and the lay it was so clear that you were like, Am I really misunderstanding you? Or is it actually my giving you the advice you need? Yes. Yeah. It's it's good advice for multiple things. So So Priyanka, we have ⁓ we're called three wheeling. Because we always joke that ⁓ some pa sometimes you are the third wheel in the situation. But we like to pretend that that is ⁓ that's a good thing because it doesn't matter you're the third wheel, you're still important, still included. So we always like to pick that one of us is the third wheel for any particular reason. Maybe we didn't have an experience, maybe we asked you a question that didn't make sense or was different to everyone else's, maybe one of us forgot to wear the right t-shirt because we like to wear our own a special t-shirt for the show. ⁓ and so we like to ask when we have a guest if they can pick one of us to be the third wheel. You can pick it for any reason whatsoever, ⁓ of the three of us. We will not be offended. ⁓ last time Taylor picked me because Taylor picked me because my internet was so bad I was in a hotel that I kept disappearing and reappearing and disappearing and reappearing. And he's like, Rob, you're the unprofessional one today. So ⁓ yeah, it can be for any reason whatsoever. could you pick one of us to be the third wheel? Yes. So ⁓ let me pick and this is no bias at all. ⁓ I'm going to pick Meg because ⁓ of the sangria. Yes. Yes. That's a perfect reason. Yeah. That's wonderful. Actually Meg gets picked more than any of the three of us. I do. So you're totally on brand. What is it, man? What are you doing? Meg Meg just likes a stand out, so ⁓ I think. Well Priyanka, thank you so much for ⁓ still stopping by even though you've had to go to an event. And and thank you, everyone else who's in the car with you who has has allowed you to do this. Yeah, thank you. No, thank you, thank you for ⁓ you know, I'm the unprofessional one, but then I thought ⁓ well, I mean if I don't do this it'll be very ⁓ out of character. So lucky you It's been wonderful. We've loved this so much. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of love. Thank you so much. Bye. Yeah, have a great time at Columbus. Goodbye. Bye. ⁓ that was that was so wonderful. She's perfect. She I love that. ⁓ so for those of you listening or watching, Brianka ⁓ had a last minute invite to an event where she was asked to talk ⁓ but still wanted to to join us as she had promised to be here. ⁓ so hence the interview from a car. And it just felt somewhat lana coded, right? Perfect. Yes. It was perfect. It was perfect. I loved it so much. And she's just great to talk to. so I ⁓ I d dare I say better than Taylor Nils is putting in chat so We just have to feed their like loving rivalry. Like I love Did did anyone else sn sorry, go Jen. ⁓ just anything we can lay down for to like, you know, keep that keep that fi flame going. Yes. Yeah. Did you notice how in her ⁓ pistachio croissant's tale the pistachio croissant survived and did not end up not get all over her costume. No. Yes. I'm curious how that worked out. I'm so glad we asked this about her side the thing. I can't believe so for the we wrote a list of questions, folks, and some of them made it through and some of them we didn't ask and we asked questions that weren't on there. ⁓ just by, you know, the how the interview goes. Sometimes things fit, sometimes they don't. ⁓ and I can't believe that's why I said I can't believe I didn't ask this earlier, it was not in the list. Why did I not ask the pistachio croissant story pretty quickly? But ⁓ I'm glad I did ask it. So perfect. I do like this. I do like this. So that she knew his side of the story and she could kind of sit. Yes. So good. We sh I at some point I'm gonna make a clip of the two stories together and be like, who's telling the truth? We should maybe do that for WatCon and we all voted it at WatCon. That might be fun. ⁓ yeah. Yeah. Although we're not gonna be there. I'm sorry. Folks, hopefully you are gonna be at WhatCart and you get to see Priyanka in person. She'll clearly be clinging to Meg and Jen as much as possible. Jen, you Jen, you need to make a bear this burden. Yes. Make a f make a phone call. Look, we need to make a phone call to Nibbs and be like, ⁓ I think we found your interviewers ⁓ for any mage stage Prianker event, and that is Meg and Jen. Because she's clearly already acquainted with you and she loves you both because of the calendar. So Yeah. She has wondered. I couldn't remember but what month I was. I was I J was I watched. I've got the calendar one second. I have it too, I just don't have it in in in reach. ⁓ once once it's finished I actually keep them ⁓ in actually here in the office. So yes, Meg was January for those of the watching, I'm displaying that now. ⁓ and you were both like pretty late add ins actually because I had people drop out. And you were March, Jen. I was March. Yes. Mm-hmm. So And you you captured these both so perfectly, it was incredible. So ⁓ yeah, that was ⁓ that was a great year. I'm glad I'm so glad that ⁓ she liked that yeah. right. so we we need to have a water positivity and then we can I I've I was like we can skip that bit and and let ⁓ let Priyanka go. ⁓ does anyone have a water positivity? We didn't discuss that before we recorded, did we? We did not. Does anyone no I One actually. Let me tell the story of going to Dublin and seeing Ayula's latest performance. Please do. so because I haven't shared this with Megan Jen. I did share this on Threefold Talk, so it's not like a totally new story. ⁓ but I I actually haven't shared it with Megan Jen, so I'll share it here as well because there there'll be some people that don't cross over on those. ⁓ so it's the third time I've seen Ayula. I've I've seen her once. She was actually the first person I saw at a Wheel of Time play. And ⁓ I've seen her twice more both times in Ireland. it Ireland has been a curse to me. ⁓ in in just over a year or something like that I'm going. I've messed up flight times, ⁓ like of dates, sorry, flight dates. I've I've overslept for flights. I've lost my phone on the way to the airport and such like that. ⁓ that's important because that trend continued last weekend when I went to see Iula with ⁓ Neve and Ashikova. So ⁓ I'm at ⁓ I'm at the bar. ⁓ with Neve, just chilling, ⁓ waiting for Ashtrakova to finish work. And ⁓ it's like five to five to five in the afternoon and ⁓ early evening, whatever. And I get a message from Iula who knows we're coming and has asked that we, you know, hang out and and wait for her to to de ⁓ de play. And ⁓ she'll come out and say hello. Messages me. ⁓ I'm just on my way out. And I'm like, ⁓ we're at the evening showing 'cause I'm like, ⁓ it's a sad day, it's a matin. Yeah, there we go. Made me look at my tickets and I booked tickets for the two PM showing. And it was five o'clock in the afternoon. No. It just made me think. Did I book I made me think 'cause I did I'm like, did I book the wrong tickets? And she thinks I'm most supposed to have been at the mat today. So I'm there and I'm like, ⁓ my god. Neve's totally chill about it. It's hilarious. You know, she's dying of laughter about it. ⁓ god, I can't believe you've done this. So I I look, I go on the w the website at the theatre, and there's still spaces in the theatre. Okay, there's like about a dozen tickets not sold. And a a couple of them there's like a there's like seats where there's like four and there's seats three together size things. So I'm like we can still sit together if needed. So I was like, let's go Neve says, let's go to the the box office, because it'll be open obviously. And ⁓ see if we can change tickets or something. And I'm like, worst to worst, I will just have to buy three new tickets. I've got us here, like it needs to be it needs to be a thing that happens. ⁓ so we go to ⁓ to reception. I was I walk up and ⁓ you know, to the to the box office and like, Hi, my name's Rob, I'm an idiot. Explain the situation. They're like, we can move you. You just pay the difference. I was like, because it was more expensive seats. Not by a huge amount. It was like ten pounds more expensive. So I was like, yes, pay, no problems. And they're like, you know, sorted. Here are your new tickets. I give them to Neve, because clearly I can't be trusted. You know, all great. All dandy. I've already I've messaged Iola, ⁓ dear, we've screwed this up, but we're gonna go to the box office and see if we can fix it. And so I text them and be We fixed it, great. and so we then go meet Ashkova, explain the story, you know. Tell other friends and that, you know, and and have a good giggle. Go back for the evening play. It is hilarious. Absolutely like I'm dying with it. It's a very satirical take on it's called an ideal husband. Okay, it's an Oscar Wilde play. ⁓ and they have this a very satirical take. Like there's a scene with Opium and like they have nightclub music playing and flashing neon lights, and he's there and do do it it's br you know, it's it's brilliant. The woman play Miss Miss Maple Chiltern is She i ⁓ my god she's like traumatic in the most hilarious way and she kills it. ⁓ everyone's one form stage. There's not a bad personal stage at all brilliant. Take the break, go back in. Five, maybe ten minutes into the second half, bang! You hear a sound of a shattering light, all the lights have gone out and the emergency lights come on. And you're like, ⁓ shit, someone's you know, a fuse is blown or something. You know, the stage hand comes on, takes the two actors that happen to be on stage at that point, like, you know, not off stage please. And they they come out it's really sorry. ⁓ power cut. We're gonna figure out what's going on. Bear with us, please stay in your seats. So we do, obviously. Everyone's chattering away, this and the other. ⁓ you know, we've all heard the light pop, so like it's gotta be something serious and hate that on. Four or five minutes go by, stage manager comes back out, and ⁓ really, really sorry. ⁓ it's actually a street wide power cut. ⁓ no. So we're gonna have to cancel the rest of the performance and ask you all to leave. And you know, everyone's got torches out and stuff like that. You know, not that it's like super dark, you know, obviously the emergency lights exist in buildings for a reason, ⁓ but it is far darker than it would be typically with regular lighting. So we all leave, you know, Ayula's sending me a message, ⁓ Rob, I'm so sorry. I'm like, what are you apologizing for? You're not the power company, you know, like it's a streetwide power cut. No one's you know, I'm like, it's fine. And by a weird coincidence, Neve was staying until Tuesday night. Ashrikova lives in Dublin or just outside of it. And I was staying until Monday night because ⁓ another friend was in town who has a like a holiday home in an island that I've been trying to make efforts to go and visit at some point and just never have because timings have worked out. And it did. So I was like, I'm not flying out until Monday night, because I'm gonna go hang out and check out, you know, my friend's place. So like, maybe, maybe because said friend isn't coming in till four pm, or isn't doesn't need to be at the airport till four p.m. to drop off ⁓ to drop someone off, maybe we can go to the matinee. And I check the matinee for Sunday, which is the only showing on a Sunday as well. There's no evening so right. And that's only half booked. So like maybe we can do that. So I send an email late at night, can we transfer? And then I go to the box office just after midday, because it's 2 p.m. is the matinee showing. I'm like, they've literally replied to my email as I've walked in. Of course. Like, hi, we're back again. Cause they recognize me. Even the woman behind the bar recognized us because she called us when we went in to change tickets. And then caught us post everything going wrong and was like, Yeah, we're all gonna go for a drink and like de, you know, adrenalize. you know, all this all the staff were gonna go for a drink. And like literally we'd said like some of the cars just leave and Nick Dunn just bounce and things like that. so ⁓ we go in to change tickets tonight, ⁓ yeah. And I was like, ⁓ I get my phone up to show the tickets. I'm like, ⁓ and I've just got your email. Yes, we can. So we get it sorted, we're in the same row, we're just closest the aisle, and we get to watch it again. And honestly, the first half is funnier the second half. Around. We know what's coming, and still we were laughing at moments when no one out in the building is laughing because we're like, we know we know what's coming. And it's funny immediately. ⁓ so it's great, you know, and it's the rest of the play. I've never read it, ⁓ but you know, the rest of the play ends how it, you know, I've told how it actually ends in the story, so that's great. ⁓ and it's a wonderful performance. did the ending actually feel great to me? It felt like it wrapped up very neatly in a bow. But apparently it's true to the story, so I'm like, okay, that's just what Oscar wrote, fine. ⁓ but everyone was great in it and it was so, so much fun. ⁓ so yeah. So despite the fact that I accidentally booked matinee tickets, it was the universe telling me that I needed to see the matinee, not the evening show. Yeah, it all just went boom. And then Ayula was very sweet, and ⁓ I'll put a picture up on the video, ⁓ but ⁓ she actually came down and she's like, Please you just hang out in the bar, wait for me, I'll come down. And she did come out chat to us afterwards and again tried to apologize for the previous night. I'm like, You don't control that. but yeah, she was very excited about, you know, the the play and how it'd been received. And she was chatting about Watcon, actually Priyanka going to WatCon. And she's like, Am I right in thinking Priyanka's going to WhatCon now instead? Like Columbus. I was like, Yeah, she is actually. And she's like, She didn't have such a blast. They are all friends, exactly. They talk to each other. So I suppose that might be my what a positivity. You have. ⁓ so let me let me ⁓ let me pull up the picture ⁓ 'cause I haven't shown the picture of the four of us. my friends my friend Anna had shown up at that stage and I sneak in and there's ⁓ there we go. So nice. ⁓ my god, that's cool. But yeah. So the staff have started to recognize me for, you know, my deliberations around not booking tickets correct. ⁓ Iola didn't have a drink at the bar because she have she had other friends who were also there specifically because there's no evening showing. ⁓ so they'd gone to see the show and then could like, you know, spend time with her. So she's like I think she would have hung out with us longer and like actually like had a drink at the bar had that not been the case, and probably would have been the case on on the Saturday nights. Right. but ⁓ yeah she then she's like, you know, like my friends are here. And we were like, we're not, you know, totally fine, you know, we're not here to monopolize your time. Like it's we're glad that you were still happy to come and see us afterwards. Like if you hadn't been that's you know not an issue. ⁓ so yeah so she one second we grab it. So she went to sign a program. ⁓ yeah she signed well no I forgot to take my book but I had limited luggage because it's cheap flights. Look, Megan it's the third time I've seen Ayula in a play. Okay, I'm pretty confident she'll be in another play in Europe that I'm able to go to very easily and I'll be able to get the book signed. Okay. But I do have the program partially signed because Neve wanted to get her to sign one of the programs in like a gold sparkly pen so she could put it into Mao Curie Khan ⁓ charity auction. And she started to sign this program, and I don't know how well you can see that or not see that. ⁓ but ⁓ the gold spark was not really showing up very well there. ⁓ there that's a bit better there. It didn't work very well on the front cover. And I was like, look, try mine and put sign on your cast page. ⁓ which is that one. There she is. Nice. Nice. ⁓ I said, perhaps sign there, because maybe there's something that's different with the cover that is on the inside pages, which, you know, on a rough feel kinda feels there's a slight gloss to the front cover. ⁓ rather compared to the inside. And she signed and we also scribbled on something else with the pen to make it really go working. ⁓ so I have like a like a half signed first copy. Nice. ⁓ And and there's a there's a legit signed one ⁓ with y you know, her full name ⁓ in in the auction this year. So ⁓ but yeah, it was just wonderful. She was great in it. She put on this very posh like ⁓ my god. And so this I didn't share on threefold talk actually. But there's a scene where she's telling so she plays she plays I forget the first name of the character, but she's married to the main guy, Mr Chiltern. Robert Chilton is his name, so she's Mrs. Chiltern. ⁓ it begins with a G. ⁓ Gertrude. Gertrude Chiltern she plays. Okay. Anyway, she's telling her husband off because he's made a deal with this woman who actually has this you know, th has has something on him in effect, and so he has to back her dubious plan. ⁓ and I that's as much as I'll say 'cause I don't want to reveal it should anyone ever eventually want to go see this play and find out what's going on. ⁓ and she doesn't believe it. And she's like, Robert, you can't possibly have done Robert, tell me you haven't done Robert, how could you do this? And I turned to Ashak over in the middle of play. I feel like I'm being told off by Olu Smart right now. And this is so weird. Yeah. For getting all the things wrong. Leading up to the play. For getting everything wrong with the play. Yeah. It's like, Robert, Robert, how dare you Robert, talk to me? And I'm on the back of the crowd, like this is this this is this is a weird moment. ⁓ Well it's well as no just put in chat. We raised like looking up Ayula on cameo ⁓ I mean this this voice is brilliant. ⁓ how could you forgot to bring the book? Yeah. Look, I only forgot to bring the book three times is what I heard. Yes, I didn't have the book on the f ⁓ maybe no, I didn't have the book on the first trip. ⁓ so I couldn't have done that. And so it's only been two opportunities I've missed to bring the book. And if anyone is listening and doesn't know what the book is, the book is ⁓ this, which I'm showing on the video. It's a it's a it's a handcrafted or yeah, I feel like it's a handcrafted leather book that's got coloured recycled pages in, ⁓ recycled paper pages. And ⁓ I got it when I was ⁓ extremely lucky enough to be invited to Prague by ⁓ Amazon and ⁓ I've decided that I'm going to fill it with signatures from people ⁓ from the Wheel of Time. So I've I've got a few in here. ⁓ the very first one in here is actually Wraith. The very first one I ever got in this book was Wraith. I loved out meeting him at Banging Denmark, which is a play with Maya. ⁓ Taylor was also there. They were in the they'd gone to watch. Then I got Donal, Michael Livingston, then I got Sharon at WatCon. I met Marcus when he was here in Manchester. Kate finally on the fourth appearance of seeing one of her plays, Into the Woods, and then Kate when I was at the Gate Theatre ⁓ back in March. So, yes. I've just forgotten it on the other occasions that I've said. But I mean we've been to plays I've that's my fifteenth play in a few years. And I've I've I've only caught people at like three or four of them in terms of like remembering the book and seeing them. So yeah. I'll go to more plays, people. It's okay. Like I don't have Guy in there, for example. So you That's what I was wondering. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You and you've seen him. Yeah. Like I could literally just be like send guy like I've actually spent time like getting to know Guy and Jessica and like, you know, I'm like, I'm gonna be in Prague. I could tell them and be like, we'll go for a drink or lunch or whatever. So like, yeah. ⁓ again, very privileged to be in that position. We were very lucky. ⁓ but yeah, like that was that was the experience. The play was a lot of fun. Dabloom was great. ⁓ yeah. That was ⁓ you know, I just I I've screwed up a lot of stuff to do with Isla when it comes to flights and losing phones and booking wrong tickets. So At least you didn't lose your passport. At least I didn't lose my passport, that terrified me. She was so chill about that. Yeah, that's Anxiety inducing for sure. For me. I know. I was like, how did that not that freaked me out when she said that? I'm like, how you were so relaxed about that? And yeah. ⁓ so yeah. It's ⁓ I might LBF mail it to Jed and Meg and get Priyanka's signature at WatCon. That's not a terrible idea. I don't know whether it would get to either of them in time. So I'm just gonna have to wait until she does theatre in India and then I'm gonna go to India. That's how it's good. I might try to get her to sign ⁓ my page of the calendar. Mm-hmm. That's a great idea. I love that. Yeah. So that's a wonderful idea. ⁓ so yeah. What a fun interview. It was fun. Can you imagine if she'd like had actually been like, you know, not last minute invited to something and she'd been chant to us from home? Yeah. Like she's just beautiful and amazing and fun and just exuberant. Ugh. She is. She is indeed. So ⁓ I think that's a great point to wrap up. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So thank you to those that have hung out in the chat ⁓ here at the recording. We appreciate you patrons. ⁓ so Fire Rita was here earlier, Niels is here, LBF is here, and is Laura still here? Yeah. Laura was here, yes. She was here. Yes, I know Fire Eater couldn't stay for very long, but they popped in. ⁓ so thank you all for for hanging out with us. We appreciate you and love you. as as everyone who listens, ⁓ you can like the video, subscribe, follow us on all your listening apps, give us those five star ratings, you know. all those good things. I don't think I've missed anything out, have I there? Nope. Mm-mm. No. Brilliant. So ⁓ and we will be back. So we're not back in two weeks because that's WatCon. So I believe after that would be the twenty-fifth of July. Does that feel right? I think that's what No, twenty-fourth weeks. No. I'm at Comic Con that weekend. You're at Comic Con that weekend, so it's the week before is it the week between those or the week after? The eighteenth, yes, there we go. I knew we'd worked this out already. So we'll be back in ⁓ no, what's happened. All right, potentially It just depends. I I we might still be driving. It depends the time we leave when we're leaving Michigan. week. ⁓ you're dri you're driving to Michigan this year? Yeah. I think we're I think we are. We I where I think so. But I can I can pull a Prion. ⁓ you have to work during the week. ⁓ Well what when I'm home? But but we're open to time. I mean Rob does. I thought you meant me. ⁓ yeah, we could potentially do it at a different time during the week if you thought you could, Rob. We might be able to do it that week when we're together. I could work something out if you two are gonna be together. Yeah. ⁓ because I can just I I do that through threefold already so I can work that out. ⁓ but I can just pull a Priyanka and like, yeah, call in from the cuts. You can call from the cast. This is my new this is my new community. And then would we get David as well? ⁓ we would get David, potentially. One of us would be driving, probably That's true. Zach driving and you two in the backseat. Zach be quiet. The parents are recording. That's right. That's right, exactly. ⁓ We will figure it out and let you know the recording schedule, ⁓ folks, and ⁓ and then release the episode ⁓ the following Wednesday, as we typically do. Okay on the odd occasion it has to be week extra. ⁓ but thank you so much for listening and hanging out with us and ⁓ we hope you enjoyed that interview. ⁓ and if you can't make it to WatCon 'cause you haven't brought your tickets as the in person tickets have already ⁓ wrapped up, you can get a digital ticket and watch from afar.
