until the next time, live long and prosper. And what
24
00:01:17.090 --> 00:01:18.250
if I lost both my hands tomorrow?
25
00:01:19.689 --> 00:01:23.459
You could be a seat model. I was 16 at
26
00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:26.900
the time, or 15. And then hook it up with
27
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.569
a witch. And that was... Cats can smile, apparently.
28
00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:34.209
Whoa. Weird.
29
00:01:35.670 --> 00:01:37.430
But it doesn't always mean that they're happy.
30
00:01:37.810 --> 00:01:40.150
Lucy receives a call from what I can only assume
31
00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:43.299
is the future winner of every acting award ever. Yeah.
32
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.769
Jenny Noon is a star. Her looks weren't a part
33
00:01:47.829 --> 00:01:48.629
of the issue.
34
00:01:48.989 --> 00:01:51.489
He's like, I had to sell my last top hat
35
00:01:51.510 --> 00:01:52.750
for gas.
36
00:01:53.530 --> 00:02:00.209
Maybe this is not appropriate either, but we'll see. Hello, listener.
37
00:02:00.250 --> 00:02:02.349
Welcome to Notable Nostalgia. I am Jeff.
38
00:02:03.049 --> 00:02:03.549
And I'm Andy.
39
00:02:03.890 --> 00:02:07.189
And we are here for a special episode, Icon Worship,
40
00:02:07.659 --> 00:02:12.289
Irene White. We get to interview Irene White from... the
41
00:02:12.370 --> 00:02:16.300
NBC show Superstore, and she's been in several other shows.
42
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.400
She appeared on Friends, Will & Grace, Frasier, Third Rock
43
00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:22.639
from the Sun, Gilmore Girls, and the list goes on
44
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:23.039
and on.
45
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.599
Any show that our listeners have watched, I guarantee there's
46
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.789
one show at minimum that she's such an icon that
47
00:02:31.830 --> 00:02:34.550
she's been in so many shows that our generation watches.
48
00:02:34.729 --> 00:02:37.310
Yeah, I love that. I am so excited to interview her.
49
00:02:37.370 --> 00:02:37.550
Yeah.
50
00:02:38.349 --> 00:02:42.250
All right, here's our interview with the icon Irene White.
51
00:02:47.129 --> 00:02:51.060
She started as the sharp-tongued and some might say villainous
52
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.620
Carol from NBC's Superstore to popping up in just about
53
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.919
every TV show that millennials loved. She's the scene stealer
54
00:02:57.979 --> 00:03:00.590
you didn't know you were worshipping all along. Today on
55
00:03:00.629 --> 00:03:04.090
Notable Nostalgia's Icon Worship, we bow down to the one,
56
00:03:04.409 --> 00:03:06.169

of like the john waters movies totally yeah so that's
62
00:03:27.969 --> 00:03:30.669
kind of a playoff of that that you're our second
63
00:03:30.830 --> 00:03:34.729
icon that we've interviewed the first one um is darren
64
00:03:34.750 --> 00:03:38.189

So you're our next icon.

Great and we're recording right now oh yeah.
71
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.879
We're super casual we've interviewed a few people and I
72
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.949
think you and Darren side right now this is a
73
00:04:02.969 --> 00:04:05.810
side of Jeff I rarely see yeah he's like second
74
00:04:05.849 --> 00:04:07.409
guessing himself and it's odd so yeah.
75
00:04:07.409 --> 00:04:09.870
I do like stand up you know benefit things like
76
00:04:09.889 --> 00:04:12.889
and everything this is probably like the most excited I've
77
00:04:13.169 --> 00:04:16.290
been like ever.
78
00:04:15.370 --> 00:04:17.250
I am absolutely.
79
00:04:16.910 --> 00:04:21.649
Thrilled to be here okay Um, your favorite go-to movie.
80
00:04:23.649 --> 00:04:24.170
Amelie.
81
00:04:24.689 --> 00:04:25.300
Oh, that's a good one.
82
00:04:25.350 --> 00:04:26.029
The French film.
83
00:04:26.290 --> 00:04:26.509
Yes.
84
00:04:27.329 --> 00:04:31.079
Uh, favorite go-to pumped up music. So when you need
85
00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:32.839
like a pump up or a lift up, what's like
86
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:33.959
a go-to song of yours?
87
00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:38.300
Oh, I love black box early nineties.
88
00:04:38.779 --> 00:04:42.860
They're like, um, uh, their dance music. I'm trying to
89
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.540
think of one of the songs. It's like, um, they
90
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.029
did right on time and like, Anyway, they're great.
91
00:04:50.329 --> 00:04:51.069
I'll just check.
92
00:04:51.089 --> 00:04:51.589
Black Box.
93
00:04:51.610 --> 00:04:52.649
I don't think I know them, but I'm going to
94
00:04:52.670 --> 00:04:53.189
check them out now.
95
00:04:53.189 --> 00:04:57.920
You would probably recognize them. You would probably recognize some
96
00:04:57.939 --> 00:04:59.519
of the songs, and I can't believe I can't remember
97
00:04:59.540 --> 00:05:00.459
any of them right now.
98
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.459
You're starstruck too right now.
99
00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:06.279
I am, totally.
100
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:07.720
Your go-to show?
101
00:05:12.250 --> 00:05:17.329
That's such a good question. So I happen to love Murder.
102
00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:20.480
So I love Law & Order.
103
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:20.819
Yeah.
104
00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:23.540
I have seen, and luckily for me, there's like 25
105
00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:24.899
years of it.
106
00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:26.879
And I also watch SVU.
107
00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:30.699
Yeah. So I will, so I guess maybe I like
108
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.079
sexual crimes also. I'm not really sure, but I just
109
00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:37.850
will have it on. And I, like if I'm doing
110
00:05:38.730 --> 00:05:41.689
errands around the house or whatever, housework, and an episode
111
00:05:41.709 --> 00:05:43.629
will start and I'll be like, I've seen this one.
112
00:05:44.170 --> 00:05:48.040
It's like, yeah, Irene, you've seen it all 11, 12 times.
113
00:05:48.250 --> 00:05:49.699
So that's my go-to show.
114
00:05:49.819 --> 00:05:51.839
And it's kind of comfort because, like, for the most part,
115
00:05:51.860 --> 00:05:54.339
they always catch the bad guy. So it's kind of like,
116
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.959
you know, a formula. Have you been in any Law
117
00:05:56.990 --> 00:05:57.620
& Order shows?
118
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.579
No, and I... It is my dream. I will be
119
00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:06.189
a dead body. I will be, like, some neighbor that
120
00:06:06.290 --> 00:06:08.189
doesn't have time to talk to them. That's one of
121
00:06:08.209 --> 00:06:11.230
the jokes. It's like they interview people. And the person's
122
00:06:11.250 --> 00:06:12.129
always like, yeah, anyway.
123
00:06:13.779 --> 00:06:14.720
I gotta get to the gym.
124
00:06:14.779 --> 00:06:17.060
And it's like, we're talking to you about a murderer
125
00:06:17.180 --> 00:06:17.839
in your building.
126
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.459
Somebody you knew just died. Yeah, listen, I gotta pick
127
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:22.160
up some Chinese food.
128
00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:23.959
Yeah, I'm going to Zumba.
129
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.860
And it's like, okay, but all right.
130
00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:28.079
See ya.
131
00:06:28.339 --> 00:06:32.069
If Mariska Harkity is listening or the creators of then
132
00:06:32.350 --> 00:06:36.029
let's hire Irene and Jeff. I'm ready. We can be
133
00:06:36.089 --> 00:06:40.899
going to like Zumba together. That can be our characters. Okay, perfect.
134
00:06:40.939 --> 00:06:41.560
I am ready.
135
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:42.000
Yeah.
136
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:43.389
I am ready for it.
137
00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:45.759
Okay, this is a hard one. Who is your favorite
138
00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:46.500
Spice Girl?
139
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.040
Oh, that's not hard at all. My favorite is Sporty.
140
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:52.579
Oh my gosh, yeah, that's my favorite.
141
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:53.939
My favorite is Sporty.
142
00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:57.810
I'm going to tell you something quickly. In 2007, there
143
00:06:57.819 --> 00:06:58.730
was the reunion tour.
144
00:06:58.750 --> 00:06:58.850
Yeah.
145
00:07:00.110 --> 00:07:03.310
And they were playing here, all five of them, here
146
00:07:03.329 --> 00:07:06.509
in Los Angeles. And I couldn't get anyone to go
147
00:07:06.550 --> 00:07:08.610
with me, so I just went by myself to the
148
00:07:08.649 --> 00:07:09.740
Spice Girls concert.
149
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.720
And I had the best time. The best time.
150
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.519
That's so perplexing to hear. hey, who wants to go
151
00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:24.720
see Spice Girls with Irene White? Like, everybody would want
152
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:25.540
to do that.
153
00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:28.379
Well, it was 2007. Maybe people didn't care about me.
154
00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:29.060
Oh, my God!
155
00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:32.850
But it was great. I love the Spice Girls. I
156
00:07:32.889 --> 00:07:35.009
used to have the Barbie dolls. I'm, like, huge on
157
00:07:35.029 --> 00:07:35.610
the Spice Girls.
158
00:07:35.629 --> 00:07:35.790
Yeah.
159
00:07:35.930 --> 00:07:37.810
No, we are, like, Spice World is one of my
160
00:07:37.870 --> 00:07:40.769
favorite movies of all time. It's so good.
161
00:07:41.389 --> 00:07:42.230
It's so good.
162
00:07:42.529 --> 00:07:45.480
Yeah. And it's self-aware. Like, people think it's just ridiculous,
163
00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:47.120
but it's self-aware that it's camp.
164
00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:49.379
So it's actually quite smart.
165
00:07:49.459 --> 00:07:49.839
Yeah.
166
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.899
For his birthday last year, I got him all five
167
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.470
Spice Girls Barbie dolls, but I ordered them from eBay.
168
00:07:54.730 --> 00:07:58.569
And when they arrived, they stink so much like cigarettes.
169
00:07:58.889 --> 00:08:02.470
I haven't given it to him yet. And I just basically,
170
00:08:02.629 --> 00:08:04.149
now I feel bad. I'm like, hey, I got you
171
00:08:04.170 --> 00:08:05.620
a present, but they're still at my house.
172
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:06.980
I think we should, like how back in the day
173
00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:09.439
they had smoking and non-smoking sections. Maybe we should have
174
00:08:09.500 --> 00:08:12.040
smoking Barbie Spice Girls and a non-smoking, you know?
175
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.870
But you know, from eBay perspective, um you have to
176
00:08:15.889 --> 00:08:18.329
get things from it'll say smoke-free home.
177
00:08:18.509 --> 00:08:21.709
Oh there we go yeah i didn't know i just assumed.
178
00:08:21.470 --> 00:08:24.750
Yeah yeah that's good to know i know yeah anyway
179
00:08:24.949 --> 00:08:27.509
and then uh this is the last lightning round who's
180
00:08:27.529 --> 00:08:31.930
your favorite who's your favorite dog on instagram oh.
181
00:08:31.709 --> 00:08:34.779
My god my favorite dog on instagram besides gus gus no.
182
00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:38.860
You can say gus gus that was just a silly
183
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.759
but it is gus gus right it is actually oh
184
00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:44.059
my gosh I'm so sorry about that.
185
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.870
I wanted to tack on two other quick lightning round
186
00:08:45.970 --> 00:08:49.830
questions since it is Halloween time did you have a
187
00:08:49.870 --> 00:08:51.610
favorite costume that you dressed up as when you.
188
00:08:51.570 --> 00:08:56.450
Were younger so for many years I went as a
189
00:08:56.490 --> 00:09:02.389
crayon oh what color red one year blue another year
190
00:09:02.409 --> 00:09:05.830
and basically my mother would make our costumes and so
191
00:09:05.870 --> 00:09:09.129
it was really just like a tube of felt and
192
00:09:09.169 --> 00:09:10.509
then like a pointy.
193
00:09:11.429 --> 00:09:12.929
I think that's pretty awesome.
194
00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:14.620
Well, and it's being safe because you never know when
195
00:09:14.629 --> 00:09:16.139
you're going to have to either be a blood or
196
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:16.500
a crib.
197
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:17.100
Oh, wow.
198
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:17.279
See?
199
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:18.980
Yeah, you're just perfectly right.
200
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.080
See, I was ahead of the curve.
201
00:09:21.179 --> 00:09:23.460
Yeah, and crayons, back when we were kids, they were it.
202
00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:24.539
They were the coolest.
203
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.490
Everyone's like, oh, Xbox, PlayStation. Back then, it was crayons.
204
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:27.679
Yeah.
205
00:09:28.179 --> 00:09:30.070
Especially with the crayons that had the sharpener in it.
206
00:09:30.169 --> 00:09:31.830
If you had one of those, you were set. And
207
00:09:31.870 --> 00:09:34.370
last Halloween question. Oh, sorry. Yes.
208
00:09:34.590 --> 00:09:35.850
I was just going to say you came from a
209
00:09:35.889 --> 00:09:36.509
rich family.
210
00:09:36.629 --> 00:09:37.809
Exactly, yes.
211
00:09:38.110 --> 00:09:39.570
You're like, oh, man.
212
00:09:39.590 --> 00:09:41.470
What's your go-to favorite Halloween candy?
213
00:09:44.269 --> 00:09:49.720
Okay, that's a good question. I really like a Mounds. Oh.
214
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.250
And I know that I'm in the minority. A lot
215
00:09:52.250 --> 00:09:55.100
of people don't like coconut. I love coconut.
216
00:09:55.100 --> 00:09:56.159
Yeah, I'm with you.
217
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.419
And I like I like a mounds. That's my go-to.
218
00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:01.940
I love that. Well, until next time.
219
00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:06.899
Thanks so much, you guys. Okay.
220
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.799
So I just, I follow you on Instagram, obviously. And
221
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.570
you just got back from like a whirlwind trip. Like,
222
00:10:13.590 --> 00:10:14.210
where did you go?
223
00:10:14.230 --> 00:10:14.610
Yes.
224
00:10:15.009 --> 00:10:17.750
I went to France. I went for two weeks. I
225
00:10:17.789 --> 00:10:21.919
went by myself. And I.
226
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.210
Don't even know how many years I've wanted to do
227
00:10:26.230 --> 00:10:29.490
a French immersion program, like where you stay with somebody.
228
00:10:29.509 --> 00:10:30.730
When I was in high school a.
229
00:10:32.529 --> 00:10:34.929
Million years ago, I was an exchange student to Brazil
230
00:10:34.950 --> 00:10:36.070
and I loved it.
231
00:10:36.690 --> 00:10:37.850
I don't speak Portuguese anymore.
232
00:10:37.889 --> 00:10:40.330
But anyway, so I went and I did this and
233
00:10:40.389 --> 00:10:43.009
I stayed at a town that's about three hours outside
234
00:10:43.029 --> 00:10:43.570
of Paris.
235
00:10:44.049 --> 00:10:46.769
I stayed with the family. I had lessons in the morning.
236
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.139
And then I went back to Paris and acted like
237
00:10:51.179 --> 00:10:52.360
a native, like I lived there.
238
00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:53.559
So that's what I did.
239
00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:55.919
I really wanted to do it. I wanted to do
240
00:10:55.990 --> 00:10:59.470
it forever. And so I was like, I'm going to
241
00:10:59.509 --> 00:11:02.269
do this. And if I miss auditions, I miss auditions.
242
00:11:02.450 --> 00:11:02.990
Good for you.
243
00:11:03.029 --> 00:11:05.470
That's awesome. We all need to kind of live that life.
244
00:11:05.509 --> 00:11:07.409
Like if we want to do something, just make sure
245
00:11:07.429 --> 00:11:08.850
it happens. Like that's awesome.
246
00:11:08.889 --> 00:11:10.490
Well, like you were talking about going to that Spice
247
00:11:10.509 --> 00:11:12.769
Girls show alone. I find it so freeing to do
248
00:11:12.789 --> 00:11:15.559
things alone now that I'm like, getting older and like,
249
00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:16.899
I like to leave work early and go to the
250
00:11:16.940 --> 00:11:18.820
movies a bunch because then I don't have to worry
251
00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:20.820
about like timing with anybody. I can sit where I
252
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:21.220
want to sit.
253
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.019
I love going to the movies by myself. I love it.
254
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.100
During the day when there's nobody there, you're like, this
255
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:27.159
whole screen's for me.
256
00:11:27.179 --> 00:11:30.639
Yeah. It's so, it's, it's like a little piece of heaven.
257
00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:33.450
I really enjoy doing things alone. I know a lot
258
00:11:33.470 --> 00:11:37.029
of people who don't, but, um, I really like it. Yeah.
259
00:11:37.129 --> 00:11:37.669
It suits me.
260
00:11:37.830 --> 00:11:39.549
Until I started doing it, I didn't think I would
261
00:11:39.590 --> 00:11:41.750
enjoy it, but now I kind of prefer it. I'm
262
00:11:41.769 --> 00:11:43.720
always like, With my daughters, I'm like, oh, you guys
263
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.580
have school, huh? Shit, my bad. All right, well, have fun.
264
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:51.379
It's so great being an adult. All right. How did
265
00:11:51.419 --> 00:11:53.779
you get started in comedy and acting?
266
00:11:56.419 --> 00:11:59.320
Let's see. So I did go to college. I have
267
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.690
a degree in theater. And prior to that, when I
268
00:12:02.710 --> 00:12:05.929
was in high school, I did some drama. Initially, I
269
00:12:05.970 --> 00:12:09.850
was in the orchestra and I played the violin. And
270
00:12:09.889 --> 00:12:15.370
then this is so boring, but like one semester drama
271
00:12:15.450 --> 00:12:18.809
and orchestra were then at the same period, the same hour.
272
00:12:18.990 --> 00:12:21.000
And I had to make a big decision.
273
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.220
Like I remember, I mean, now it seems so silly,
274
00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:26.360
but at the time it was like a really big deal.
275
00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:30.840
And I chose drama and I had to go tell
276
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.330
the orchestra teacher that I was leaving. It was really
277
00:12:33.350 --> 00:12:36.539
kind of, I don't know. I mean, it's obviously fine now.
278
00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:39.840
But so then that's how I got started was in
279
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.990
high school. I did theater. And then in college, I
280
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.509
went to the University of Texas at Austin. I got
281
00:12:46.789 --> 00:12:50.049
a degree in theater there. And then I moved to
282
00:12:50.110 --> 00:12:54.009
Chicago after college and I took classes at Second City.
283
00:12:54.289 --> 00:12:56.450
And I would say that's. You knew that.
284
00:12:56.830 --> 00:12:58.750
No, but we were talking about it right before here.
285
00:12:59.029 --> 00:13:00.990
And I was like, she's so funny. I guarantee there's
286
00:13:01.029 --> 00:13:01.809
improv in the background.
287
00:13:01.850 --> 00:13:03.210
And I said Second City. Yep.
288
00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:03.889
That's crazy.
289
00:13:05.190 --> 00:13:08.850
So I took classes at Second City and I auditioned
290
00:13:09.169 --> 00:13:11.590
to be a part of Second City twice and I
291
00:13:11.629 --> 00:13:13.549
didn't move on.
292
00:13:14.529 --> 00:13:16.750
And I remember that also was a real.
293
00:13:16.590 --> 00:13:19.360
Heartbreak for me. And then now I'm like, oh, it's fine.
294
00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:24.370
And then when I moved here, then I after a
295
00:13:24.389 --> 00:13:26.110
certain period of time, I was doing more improv at
296
00:13:26.129 --> 00:13:27.350
a place called Improv Olympic.
297
00:13:27.490 --> 00:13:27.769
Oh, sure.
298
00:13:27.850 --> 00:13:31.950
Which, uh, Iowa West, which doesn't exist out here anymore
299
00:13:32.009 --> 00:13:32.549
in Los Angeles.
300
00:13:32.590 --> 00:13:34.840
I think it's still in Chicago, but yes, a lot
301
00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:36.259
of improv, a ton of improv.
302
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:36.899
That's awesome.
303
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:37.159
Yeah.
304
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.559
Well then let me kind of go onto that question too. Uh,
305
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:41.940
cause it seems like you do a lot of comedy roles,
306
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.299
comedic roles. Was there one specific part when you're like
307
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.240
a kid to where you're like, Hey, I can make
308
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.230
people laugh and I enjoy doing this. Do you remember
309
00:13:49.259 --> 00:13:51.549
like one specific thing or was it maybe you just
310
00:13:51.570 --> 00:13:52.590
hanging out with friends or?
311
00:13:53.409 --> 00:13:57.429
Yeah. I remember when I was in fifth grade, we
312
00:13:57.490 --> 00:14:00.950
did a play about Abraham Lincoln, an original play about
313
00:14:01.009 --> 00:14:01.710
Abraham Lincoln.
314
00:14:01.730 --> 00:14:03.669
I'm sure it was riveting.
315
00:14:04.190 --> 00:14:07.929
I'm sure the fifth graders wrote a great play. But
316
00:14:07.970 --> 00:14:10.570
I was playing this part, you know, I don't, it
317
00:14:10.590 --> 00:14:15.860
was about like, like starvation. It must have been fiction,
318
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.019
but it was like the girl who wrote to him
319
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:19.299
and asked him to grow a beard.
320
00:14:19.330 --> 00:14:21.470
It doesn't.
321
00:14:21.490 --> 00:14:21.679
What?
322
00:14:23.230 --> 00:14:23.750
What is this?
323
00:14:24.470 --> 00:14:25.990
I want to see that play so bad.
324
00:14:27.529 --> 00:14:29.610
It was probably like 15 minutes and we thought it
325
00:14:29.649 --> 00:14:34.169
was like three hours. Anyway, I remember performing.
326
00:14:34.710 --> 00:14:35.850
My character's name was Grace.
327
00:14:36.809 --> 00:14:40.889
And none of these other Yahoo fifth graders knew their lines,
328
00:14:41.009 --> 00:14:42.870
but I knew everybody's lines.
329
00:14:42.929 --> 00:14:43.730
And so I remember.
330
00:14:44.570 --> 00:14:48.330
performing saying my line with you know gusto and then
331
00:14:48.350 --> 00:14:50.990
there would be a silence and then i would lean
332
00:14:51.090 --> 00:14:52.990
over to somebody and tell them their line and then
333
00:14:53.029 --> 00:14:55.509
of course all the parents would start laughing and then
334
00:14:55.570 --> 00:15:00.049
the then you know the person whoever the guy playing
335
00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:05.600
abraham lincoln who would did not have it together. Like,
336
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.639
I'm like, dude, this is, you're not being professional. Would
337
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.539
say his line. And then there would, I would say
338
00:15:11.580 --> 00:15:13.860
my line immediately. And then there would be a pause.
339
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:17.519
And then I'd lean over to whoever else was, you know, nervous.
340
00:15:18.250 --> 00:15:20.409
I didn't have time for nerves at that point. But anyway,
341
00:15:20.429 --> 00:15:22.610
I got a lot of laughs. And I would say
342
00:15:22.649 --> 00:15:25.269
that that was, even though I thought I was being
343
00:15:25.309 --> 00:15:29.110
really professional, I think that those laughs really did something
344
00:15:29.149 --> 00:15:29.409
to me.
345
00:15:29.669 --> 00:15:30.190
Oh, that's awesome.
346
00:15:30.210 --> 00:15:30.309
Yeah.
347
00:15:30.330 --> 00:15:31.730
You got, you felt that rush and everything.
348
00:15:31.769 --> 00:15:31.889
Yeah.
349
00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:35.899
I was like, I have this audience in the palm
350
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:36.600
of my hand.
351
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.779
I just love to think like Abraham Lincoln had a B-O'd.
352
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:45.980
That was like a whole monologue. It was a big monologue.
353
00:15:46.110 --> 00:15:49.129
Heroes that you had. I realized when I was a
354
00:15:49.149 --> 00:15:52.169
teenager that a lot of my mannerisms are like Chevy Chase-isms,
355
00:15:52.250 --> 00:15:53.830
I call it, with my hands. And I didn't even
356
00:15:53.929 --> 00:15:56.990
realize that until I was older. Were there any comedic
357
00:15:57.029 --> 00:15:58.450
heroes that you loved growing up?
358
00:16:00.429 --> 00:16:01.100
Let's see here.
359
00:16:01.909 --> 00:16:08.279
Um, I, that's such a good question. I, um, grew
360
00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:13.179
to really appreciate Elaine May, um, like Nichols and May, uh,
361
00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:16.059
but they only, they had recordings that we would listen
362
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:20.570
to or I would listen to, but I loved, I mean,
363
00:16:20.590 --> 00:16:24.629
a lot of my heroes were, were, um, men, I guess,
364
00:16:24.649 --> 00:16:26.350
cause that's kind of was doing comedy.
365
00:16:26.549 --> 00:16:30.029
Although I love Terry Garr. Have you guys seen Tootsie?
366
00:16:30.429 --> 00:16:33.169
Yeah. Yeah. for sure oh my god she's.
367
00:16:32.970 --> 00:16:36.789
So good anyway but i loved michael j fox oh
368
00:16:36.830 --> 00:16:42.409
yeah yeah and um i loved bruce willis and um
369
00:16:42.850 --> 00:16:45.019
like before he became an action hero he was like
370
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.600
a comedy dude and then um who else did i
371
00:16:48.659 --> 00:16:51.799
really love and i loved jason bateman he was like
372
00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:54.799
my crush he was on like silver spoons with a
373
00:16:54.840 --> 00:17:00.350
ricky schroeder and um who else did i love um.
374
00:17:01.230 --> 00:17:02.850
And then I really love Gene Kelly.
375
00:17:03.690 --> 00:17:04.430
Oh, sure.
376
00:17:04.450 --> 00:17:05.609
A little bit older.
377
00:17:05.630 --> 00:17:06.430
I love Gene Kelly.
378
00:17:06.450 --> 00:17:07.210
Then Michael J.
379
00:17:08.650 --> 00:17:11.210
If you watch his movies, like, I try to watch
380
00:17:11.230 --> 00:17:13.170
them every, like, five or ten years. There's all these, like,
381
00:17:13.210 --> 00:17:16.490
little subtle things that you don't get. I don't know. Like,
382
00:17:16.569 --> 00:17:18.150
I just, yeah. Hilarious.
383
00:17:18.210 --> 00:17:18.750
Great. I love him.
384
00:17:18.769 --> 00:17:19.450
Yeah.
385
00:17:19.930 --> 00:17:22.670
He's, like, timeless.
386
00:17:22.910 --> 00:17:23.210
Mm-hmm.
387
00:17:23.410 --> 00:17:23.549
Yep.
388
00:17:23.750 --> 00:17:24.589
Absolutely timeless.
389
00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:25.089
Yeah.
390
00:17:26.019 --> 00:17:28.160
That's great. Yeah, no, I love Young Frankenstein and everything,
391
00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:29.460
so great choices, but yeah.
392
00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:30.339
Well, thank you.
393
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:39.140
I want to jump to Superstore. Okay. So, I have questions,
394
00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:41.039
but I just wanted to tell, and I'm sure you
395
00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:43.500
get a lot of feedback of Superstore, because it has
396
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.269
such a following, especially, like, after it's wrapped, it has
397
00:17:47.289 --> 00:17:49.769
a very cult following, I notice, on all the social
398
00:17:49.809 --> 00:17:56.059
medias that people are still talking about. Very plot slight
399
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.339
plot details but like this i just want to tell
400
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:00.119
you because it's my first time actually speaking to a
401
00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:03.720
star of it is that that show got i think
402
00:18:03.789 --> 00:18:06.589
so many of us especially me as well through like
403
00:18:06.690 --> 00:18:10.630
covid times um that was such a and then my
404
00:18:10.750 --> 00:18:13.569
spouse was going through transplant like it was such a
405
00:18:13.650 --> 00:18:16.740
comic relief in my life during that time because immune
406
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.329
suppressancy you know then we were even taking it more seriously.
407
00:18:20.410 --> 00:18:23.750
So having Superstore as an outlet, and now it's still
408
00:18:24.210 --> 00:18:27.039
like a comfort blanket to me. Like when I'm feeling anxious,
409
00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:32.880
I'll throw it on. I identified with Carol a lot.
410
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.119
Well, thank you.
411
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:36.960
First of all, I want to say thank you for
412
00:18:37.009 --> 00:18:41.470
saying that about the show. Because, I mean, I can
413
00:18:41.509 --> 00:18:44.430
only speak for myself, but I think while we were
414
00:18:44.509 --> 00:18:46.599
doing it, like, I want to agree with you that
415
00:18:46.660 --> 00:18:49.059
I think that it's actually become more popular since it's
416
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.210
gone off the air because while we were doing it,
417
00:18:52.849 --> 00:18:58.549
I did not feel that same level of appreciation. And again,
418
00:18:58.609 --> 00:19:00.819
I can only speak for myself, but like, I would
419
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:02.559
say when I'm working on this show, it's on NBC,
420
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.240
it's called Superstorm. People were like, what?
421
00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:05.299
When?
422
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:07.940
I'm like, it's on Thursday nights. They're like, oh, I don't,
423
00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:11.630
I don't, I don't watch TV. And it's like, OK, well, anyway, bye.
424
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:12.359
Yeah.
425
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.299
So but I've I have heard from other people that
426
00:19:15.339 --> 00:19:17.500
it's become a comfort show. What is it about it
427
00:19:17.660 --> 00:19:18.000
for you?
428
00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:21.819
I think it's the cast like all there's no weak
429
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.069
links on that cast at all. The irreverent kind of humor.
430
00:19:26.250 --> 00:19:29.390
I just love so much. It's it's not. Yes, there's
431
00:19:29.410 --> 00:19:32.289
storylines that go throughout the season or throughout the show.
432
00:19:32.710 --> 00:19:36.170
But it's not one where– I can watch season– so
433
00:19:36.210 --> 00:19:39.000
when I– sorry, sidebar. When I say I identify with Carol,
434
00:19:39.099 --> 00:19:43.140
it's definitely not her, like, vindictive nature. But it's more
435
00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:45.910
like her her dry her your your timing is just
436
00:19:46.230 --> 00:19:49.700
effortless like on the show to be loved yeah and.
437
00:19:49.660 --> 00:19:52.000
She that's all she just wants to be loved.
438
00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:56.759
And she wants uh uh peppermint not um not candy
439
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.980
cane uh vape Juice. Anyways.
440
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.519
Sorry.
441
00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:03.430
When she vapes and it's off screen, but you can
442
00:20:03.450 --> 00:20:04.470
see the vape coming.
443
00:20:04.549 --> 00:20:04.940
I love it.
444
00:20:05.150 --> 00:20:05.369
Okay.
445
00:20:05.809 --> 00:20:07.829
I was going to say, too, the great thing about
446
00:20:07.869 --> 00:20:10.210
that show, I also feel like, is I think if
447
00:20:10.230 --> 00:20:12.890
you look at any show in history, like the big ones,
448
00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:15.569
it's all kind of like family. And even though they're
449
00:20:15.589 --> 00:20:18.920
not related, Superstore is still a family. And every character
450
00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:20.920
you can kind of relate with. So that's why I
451
00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:21.599
like Superstore.
452
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:24.440
Before we got on with you tonight, I was saying, like,
453
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:29.039
Andy's a total Garrett character. Um, like, like he's the most,
454
00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:31.680
he's so fun and like a little nerdy with some
455
00:20:31.700 --> 00:20:33.259
of the, you know, video games and stuff, but he's
456
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:35.519
like the only scene person in most rooms.
457
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:36.579
Right.
458
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:37.759
And that's the voice of reason.
459
00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:37.980
Yeah.
460
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.150
And that's how Garrett is. And then I'm thinking that
461
00:20:40.190 --> 00:20:43.130
I'm probably, I'm going to say a mix of Glenn
462
00:20:43.170 --> 00:20:43.769
and Justine.
463
00:20:44.829 --> 00:20:46.009
Great.
464
00:20:46.349 --> 00:20:50.609
But my fashion icon again is you brought back the
465
00:20:50.690 --> 00:20:55.730
juicy tracksuit. How did that go behind the scenes? Was
466
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.039
that your idea or was that the design?
467
00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:59.359
No, it was theirs.
468
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:03.299
And I have the blue one. I ended up wearing three,
469
00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:07.220
but I think one got... I had a green one,
470
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:09.640
a blue one, and a pink one. And I think
471
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:13.039
one of them got cut. I can't remember exactly. Um,
472
00:21:13.170 --> 00:21:16.099
but I, I have the blue one. I fear it
473
00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:19.500
doesn't fit me anymore, but, um, yeah, they were like,
474
00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:22.640
we want to make Carol that like, she has all
475
00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:24.500
this money or she thinks she's going to come into
476
00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:25.160
money because.
477
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:26.000
Of this lawsuit.
478
00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:26.700
Yeah.
479
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:31.220
And she doesn't like, she's just behind. Like she doesn't,
480
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.819
she doesn't, she's like, Oh, I have money. And it's,
481
00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:37.039
I'm going to wear this thing that's 15 years old.
482
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:39.480
So they were like, are you OK with that? And
483
00:21:39.500 --> 00:21:40.380
I was like, of course I.
484
00:21:40.380 --> 00:21:40.869
Will wear it.
485
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.849
You're paying me. I will wear anything you want me
486
00:21:43.869 --> 00:21:44.369
to wear.
487
00:21:44.589 --> 00:21:45.730
Like, honest to.
488
00:21:45.710 --> 00:21:46.529
God, I will.
489
00:21:46.809 --> 00:21:48.289
It's no problem.
490
00:21:48.690 --> 00:21:50.829
Are you on? Are you on TikTok? Do you get
491
00:21:50.869 --> 00:21:52.289
on TikTok and scroll ever?
492
00:21:52.309 --> 00:21:54.769
I am not on TikTok.
493
00:21:54.890 --> 00:21:59.089
OK, so there are so many people that post scenes
494
00:21:59.410 --> 00:22:02.690
of Superstore and one that they post a lot of
495
00:22:02.950 --> 00:22:06.000
is the icon. i'm gonna blush talking about it it's
496
00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:09.599
like the scene between you and jerry when you're um
497
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:10.720
or did we freeze.

There's a lot of um people posting the um iconic
504
00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:33.160
scene between you and jerry when um you i can't

that character how did that like i don't question i'm
509
00:22:47.269 --> 00:22:51.619
trying to ask is uh like how how did the
510
00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:53.960
writing happen with your character i guess is that a
511
00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:56.859
question i'm trying to ask is like how did they
512
00:22:56.900 --> 00:23:01.109
decide to bring you from having a shellfish allergy to
513
00:23:01.150 --> 00:23:03.000
like where you ended up.
514
00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:12.000
So it's it's funny um the uh the woman who
515
00:23:12.099 --> 00:23:16.220
wrote the episode called so there was a huge change
516
00:23:16.369 --> 00:23:18.890
all of a sudden with this episode called uh ladies
517
00:23:18.930 --> 00:23:24.170
lunch and um that's the one where they like have
518
00:23:24.190 --> 00:23:26.369
me on the phone for the first time talking to
519
00:23:27.990 --> 00:23:31.569
Amy's husband, like they have me. And I remember going
520
00:23:31.609 --> 00:23:34.849
to the table read and being like, what's happening here?
521
00:23:35.069 --> 00:23:36.430
Like, where, where is this?
522
00:23:37.269 --> 00:23:41.410
We have leapt and it was phenomenal. So I don't
523
00:23:41.490 --> 00:23:44.799
really know. I think they must've been like, let's see
524
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:46.740
if she can do this. And then I was like, yep,
525
00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:47.480
I can do that.
526
00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:48.160
Let's do that.
527
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.980
And so they just kind of kept pushing it. And then, like,
528
00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:53.690
I had that HPV line.
529
00:23:53.710 --> 00:23:55.190
And then.
530
00:23:55.210 --> 00:23:56.250
Oh, my gosh.
531
00:23:56.329 --> 00:23:57.369
Yeah, some of your lines.
532
00:23:57.650 --> 00:23:58.089
Enjoy my.
533
00:23:58.950 --> 00:23:59.470
Yeah, enjoy.
534
00:23:59.490 --> 00:24:00.549
Enjoy my HPV.
535
00:24:02.329 --> 00:24:06.200
She's a redhead, so safe to say she's the nastiest
536
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.180
freak in the world. Hey, Jerry, I'm calling to let
537
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:13.019
you know that you probably should get tested. There were, like,
538
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:15.460
ten guys here that say Sandra gave them her.
539
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:18.309
Yes, there's that one, yes.
540
00:24:18.369 --> 00:24:20.670
And the actress, like, I was just talking to Andy, she's...
541
00:24:21.369 --> 00:24:24.490
Every interview I've seen her in, she's like the sweetest.
542
00:24:24.670 --> 00:24:27.089
Sandra is the sweetest character ever, too.
543
00:24:27.769 --> 00:24:30.769
She's one of my closest friends. I was just texting
544
00:24:30.789 --> 00:24:31.630
with her before this.
545
00:24:31.809 --> 00:24:32.450
Oh, my gosh.
546
00:24:32.490 --> 00:24:32.930
Coleco.
547
00:24:33.230 --> 00:24:36.829
Oh, Coleco. But definitely put in a good word for
548
00:24:36.930 --> 00:24:39.089
us so she can join us sometime. I will. If
549
00:24:39.130 --> 00:24:39.710
you wouldn't mind.
550
00:24:39.789 --> 00:24:39.990
I will.
551
00:24:40.410 --> 00:24:42.789
But, oh, my gosh. And I also see them. Okay,
552
00:24:42.809 --> 00:24:47.509
this is for the super fans of Superstore. But I see...
553
00:24:48.269 --> 00:24:51.250
you all comment on each other's posts all the time.
554
00:24:51.670 --> 00:24:53.589
And I like, I love that. Like, I love that
555
00:24:53.710 --> 00:24:57.529
everybody's so supportive. Like Kelly, you know, like everybody is
556
00:24:57.569 --> 00:25:00.230
like really, you guys seem to really care about each other.
557
00:25:00.269 --> 00:25:00.930
That's awesome.
558
00:25:01.390 --> 00:25:04.069
You know, I'll tell you, I, so I've never been
559
00:25:04.130 --> 00:25:06.190
on a show. This was my first experience being on
560
00:25:06.230 --> 00:25:09.109
a show for that long or doing that many episodes.
561
00:25:09.329 --> 00:25:10.950
I hope I get that opportunity again.
562
00:25:10.990 --> 00:25:15.190
We'll see. But we really liked each other. Yeah.
563
00:25:15.329 --> 00:25:20.309
Like, like genuinely, we really, or do still like each other.
564
00:25:20.349 --> 00:25:22.009
It's not, you know, past tense.
565
00:25:23.130 --> 00:25:27.009
The last time we were all together, I think America
566
00:25:27.069 --> 00:25:30.309
couldn't make it, but we went to Nico's wedding. Yeah.
567
00:25:30.670 --> 00:25:33.599
So that was actually almost two years ago. I think,
568
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:35.599
and I think, and there've been other kinds of small
569
00:25:35.700 --> 00:25:41.990
permutations of people getting together. But yeah, it's, it's, I
570
00:25:42.019 --> 00:25:44.819
guess it's rare. And I'm, I'm, I'm happy that I
571
00:25:45.140 --> 00:25:45.980
had that experience.
572
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:48.940
I promise you, I'm not like an obsessed fan, like,
573
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:51.549
like in a bad way, but I did see Aniko
574
00:25:51.609 --> 00:25:56.289
perform stand up. He is so good at stand up.
575
00:25:56.309 --> 00:25:56.789
He's so good.
576
00:25:56.950 --> 00:26:00.079
And also his like, one of America's sweethearts is his husband.
577
00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:00.619
Zeke, like.
578
00:26:01.710 --> 00:26:03.650
Zeke is fabulous.
579
00:26:03.109 --> 00:26:05.890
Yeah I fell in love with him on Survivor and
580
00:26:05.930 --> 00:26:08.700
I just was like but when I met Nico after
581
00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:11.400
stand up I was like I'm old school when I
582
00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:14.940
meet like celebrities I look up to like people I
583
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:17.480
just look up to in like creative arts so I
584
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:20.400
like needed an autograph so I like opened my shirt
585
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:21.789
and had him sign my.
586
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.150
T-shirt and I don't think he loved it he did
587
00:26:25.250 --> 00:26:28.210
he was he was very much a fan of my
588
00:26:28.269 --> 00:26:30.509
behavior but good yeah.
589
00:26:30.329 --> 00:26:35.289
Yes I run into Nico at the CVS. We live
590
00:26:35.329 --> 00:26:36.049
in the same neighborhood.
591
00:26:36.390 --> 00:26:38.490
So I'll be like, hey, how's your dog?
592
00:26:39.450 --> 00:26:42.609
That's awesome. He's an icon too, for sure.
593
00:26:42.630 --> 00:26:45.819
Yeah, he's absolute phenomenal. He's wonderful.
594
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:49.279
Well, since we confirmed the improv background, which we kind
595
00:26:49.299 --> 00:26:53.220
of assumed. So I'm like, I don't know. When I
596
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:56.960
grew up, I loved Kids in the Hall. And being
597
00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:59.279
improv background, I bet like working with Mark was probably
598
00:26:59.299 --> 00:27:02.210
just kind of like, If it were me, I would
599
00:27:02.230 --> 00:27:04.269
have like been like, Oh, like, you know, like how
600
00:27:04.289 --> 00:27:06.660
was that? Like I just, any, anything.
601
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:09.839
Speaking of kids in the hall.
602
00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:14.680
So I'm friends with Bruce McCullough and I was in
603
00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:18.160
a live show with Bruce at the San Francisco sketch
604
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.009
fest in like 2007, the same year I went to
605
00:27:21.309 --> 00:27:24.849
see the Spice Girls. It was a big year for me. And,
606
00:27:25.150 --> 00:27:28.789
and so I've known Bruce for a long time. I've
607
00:27:28.890 --> 00:27:32.779
met all of them. Um, I, I know Scott sort
608
00:27:32.819 --> 00:27:35.119
of well, Dave Foley I've met and he was on
609
00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:37.539
Superstore too. And then Kevin, I know the least I
610
00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:41.529
would say. Um, but, uh, so I had already met
611
00:27:41.609 --> 00:27:44.049
Mark through Bruce.
612
00:27:44.890 --> 00:27:47.049
Um, but then, but.
613
00:27:47.029 --> 00:27:52.509
Yes, it is like, they're so good, you know, and,
614
00:27:52.710 --> 00:27:57.130
and they're just, they're, they're, they're just so good.
615
00:27:58.309 --> 00:27:59.329
When I was a little kid, I used to do
616
00:27:59.349 --> 00:28:00.630
the crush your head thing when I was like in
617
00:28:00.650 --> 00:28:02.779
elementary school. And I don't think any other kids knew
618
00:28:02.819 --> 00:28:04.839
what I was doing, but I was like, they're just
619
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.980
not cool enough. They don't know what I'm like, you know,
620
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:08.880
like I was like between that and Conan, I thought
621
00:28:08.900 --> 00:28:10.440
I was like the coolest little kid around.
622
00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:13.029
So the Dave Foley one is he's on one of
623
00:28:13.049 --> 00:28:15.609
the last episodes, any second to last episode. And he
624
00:28:15.690 --> 00:28:18.900
plays like the son of the owner of, I think
625
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:20.430
the son of the owner of the Cloud Nine.
626
00:28:20.490 --> 00:28:23.190
Who comes to, like, buy it out or something, right?
627
00:28:23.230 --> 00:28:26.509
And at the end of it, he starts eating unprovoked
628
00:28:26.710 --> 00:28:31.380
dog food. And, like, it's so... Oh, yes! It's so ridiculous. And, like,
629
00:28:31.490 --> 00:28:33.980
everyone's reaction, especially, I'm just basing it on her name,
630
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:35.880
the actress who plays Cheyenne.
631
00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.200
Yes.
632
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:37.980
Oh, my gosh.
633
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:38.359
Nicole.
634
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.500
Yeah, Nicole. Her character arc is so amazing, too, on
635
00:28:42.140 --> 00:28:42.619
the show.
636
00:28:43.650 --> 00:28:44.009
Agreed.
637
00:28:44.930 --> 00:28:46.970
And I was so bummed that, like, there was talks
638
00:28:47.009 --> 00:28:49.990
about a spinoff between– There was. Yeah.
639
00:28:50.049 --> 00:28:51.829
I don't know how far that got.
640
00:28:52.150 --> 00:28:54.690
I don't know if they– I don't think they filmed it.
641
00:28:55.130 --> 00:28:57.259
I don't really know anything about that. We did know
642
00:28:57.299 --> 00:28:58.200
about it, but, yeah.
643
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:01.180
So I recently– last year I got a Stanley for
644
00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:03.059
the first time, so I drink a lot of water,
645
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:05.740
and I also– with that, I manifest– so what i'm
646
00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:09.559
manifesting is we as the loyal fans of superstore are
647
00:29:09.579 --> 00:29:12.539
going to manifest a like either like a reboot not
648
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:14.799
maybe not a re i really love a reboot but
649
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.480
even like a like a hour-long special and they are
650
00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:21.029
something's going on like we catch up with you know
651
00:29:21.069 --> 00:29:23.990
all all the gang but and they have to come
652
00:29:24.029 --> 00:29:26.990
together for some reason like i don't know what it
653
00:29:27.049 --> 00:29:29.619
would be like uh Monster truck show or something.
654
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:30.000
Yeah.
655
00:29:30.099 --> 00:29:31.380
Or like, I don't know.
656
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:31.839
Yeah.
657
00:29:31.940 --> 00:29:33.279
Or we can take it to like, you know, when
658
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:35.829
Friday the 13th went into outer space, we can add
659
00:29:35.890 --> 00:29:38.589
like a mystical. We need to manifest something. I'm not
660
00:29:38.630 --> 00:29:39.950
the writer. I'm just the manifester.
661
00:29:40.690 --> 00:29:43.369
I'm available. Yeah. I'm available for that.
662
00:29:43.890 --> 00:29:44.109
Yes.
663
00:29:44.289 --> 00:29:45.079
Totally available.
664
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:46.380
What do you know?
665
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:50.200
There is a there's a Mexican version of the show.
666
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.559
Oh, really?
667
00:29:51.579 --> 00:29:52.539
I had no idea.
668
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:53.119
Yeah.
669
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:53.440
Yeah.
670
00:29:53.460 --> 00:29:55.579
There are counterparts to all of your characters.
671
00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:56.299
Yes.
672
00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:57.440
I've never seen it.
673
00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:58.549
I got somebody told me.
674
00:29:59.289 --> 00:30:01.109
Find it. It's like a telenovela.
675
00:30:01.589 --> 00:30:02.029
Oh, I love that.
676
00:30:02.089 --> 00:30:04.369
I may be telling you the exact wrong thing, but
677
00:30:04.410 --> 00:30:07.960
basically the format. And then I think there's it's going
678
00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:11.940
to be like in some other country, too. They're doing.
679
00:30:14.019 --> 00:30:17.920
And I think the Mexican one is I think it's
680
00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:20.039
an hour. I haven't you can find it.
681
00:30:20.380 --> 00:30:22.089
Let me know. I will because I haven't been able
682
00:30:22.109 --> 00:30:22.480
to find it.
683
00:30:22.549 --> 00:30:25.210
But every little city even in here because we're in
684
00:30:25.309 --> 00:30:29.069
Oregon is getting a distribution center and Justine and Marcus
685
00:30:29.390 --> 00:30:31.930
and Dina all work at a distribution center. So I
686
00:30:31.990 --> 00:30:33.930
think that that could be what it is. It is
687
00:30:34.069 --> 00:30:37.170
Superstore takes place in a distribution center. And so many
688
00:30:37.210 --> 00:30:39.819
people were, okay, this is happening. I've green lit it.
689
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.160
I love it.
690
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:43.460
But what do you think your, what do you think
691
00:30:43.539 --> 00:30:45.039
Carol would be doing today?
692
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:52.170
Oh my gosh. Oh my God.
693
00:30:52.369 --> 00:30:54.730
What would Carol be doing today?
694
00:30:57.769 --> 00:30:59.210
Is it wrong for me to say she would have
695
00:30:59.250 --> 00:30:59.839
a podcast?
696
00:31:00.329 --> 00:31:01.589
Oh my God, no.
697
00:31:01.690 --> 00:31:02.490
Carol?
698
00:31:03.029 --> 00:31:04.450
Yeah, for sure.
699
00:31:04.509 --> 00:31:08.809
Podcast or podcast people are the worst. I don't know.
700
00:31:08.829 --> 00:31:10.369
I'm not really sure.
701
00:31:10.470 --> 00:31:16.279
But she, Carol just wants to be loved and really
702
00:31:16.339 --> 00:31:17.920
thinks she has some abilities.
703
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:19.680
I'm not saying it's a good podcast.
704
00:31:19.859 --> 00:31:20.140
No.
705
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:25.299
She takes a bunch of vape breaks and like Yes, exactly.
706
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:27.789
I don't know who she's interviewing or if she's just
707
00:31:27.849 --> 00:31:29.369
talking to everybody.
708
00:31:29.430 --> 00:31:33.299
Just like And they're too long. The episodes are like three,
709
00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.900
four hours.
710
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:35.029
Okay.
711
00:31:35.109 --> 00:31:38.049
So this is really for the diehards. And we won't
712
00:31:38.069 --> 00:31:40.849
keep you too long. So when there was the character
713
00:31:40.930 --> 00:31:44.990
arc of Carol, when she was very like metaphysical and spiritual,
714
00:31:45.150 --> 00:31:48.150
was she lying or was she really have an awakened
715
00:31:48.710 --> 00:31:51.339
like spiritual moment? And then she like, yeah.
716
00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:55.559
My belief is that she was faking.
717
00:31:55.819 --> 00:31:56.180
Yeah.
718
00:31:56.339 --> 00:31:57.160
That I was faking.
719
00:31:57.619 --> 00:32:00.059
Because she was trying to kill Sandra when she was
720
00:32:00.099 --> 00:32:01.140
taking her, okay.
721
00:32:01.500 --> 00:32:02.720
Yeah.
722
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:12.369
So I think, I think, yes. I can't believe I'm
723
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:15.450
having to ask this. How did that storyline end? How
724
00:32:15.470 --> 00:32:16.730
did I, was I revealed?
725
00:32:17.009 --> 00:32:17.630
What happened?
726
00:32:17.869 --> 00:32:21.349
When, oh, when she stops being kind of more metaphysical. Yes.
727
00:32:21.710 --> 00:32:23.869
I think it's the cat.
728
00:32:24.650 --> 00:32:25.210
The cat runs.
729
00:32:26.009 --> 00:32:34.990
Because you put laxatives at the bachelorette party, and then
730
00:32:35.009 --> 00:32:36.829
the next day at the wedding, you try to kill
731
00:32:36.849 --> 00:32:37.609
the cat. Yes. Okay.
732
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:43.119
And then I get electrocuted and I get sent away.
733
00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:44.410
Is that right?
734
00:32:44.450 --> 00:32:47.329
So, yeah, you go away after the attempted murder of
735
00:32:47.369 --> 00:32:51.130
the cat. And then you come back and Carol's back,
736
00:32:51.150 --> 00:32:53.940
which is literally that should have there should have been
737
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:55.519
an Emmy there. Just saying.
738
00:32:55.740 --> 00:32:57.500
Oh, that episode was called Carol.
739
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:04.329
Yeah. Yeah. And when you the. Um, very passive, aggressive
740
00:33:04.470 --> 00:33:07.200
hostility that care that you do for the, through the
741
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.880
character is so amazing. And just the effortless, like poor Sandro.
742
00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:14.339
for sandra okay i'm sorry i giggled because it's such
743
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.640
a funny show okay so she makes you uh like
744
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:19.680
muffins you're like i'm i full i'm full i ate
745
00:33:19.740 --> 00:33:22.529
and you just throw them effortlessly in the garbage yeah
746
00:33:23.509 --> 00:33:26.349
yes oh my gosh but yeah that was that was
747
00:33:26.430 --> 00:33:28.069
iconic and then i was so worried because i thought
748
00:33:28.089 --> 00:33:30.170
that that you were done at that point but then
749
00:33:30.190 --> 00:33:32.029
when you come back and you're ready to sue and
750
00:33:32.089 --> 00:33:35.109
it's like it's leveled up with the track suit and
751
00:33:35.150 --> 00:33:39.859
you're the humor is much more raunchy like the OK,
752
00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:41.839
I know you're working for Disney right now, so I
753
00:33:41.859 --> 00:33:42.779
don't know what we can say.
754
00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:43.480
That's OK.
755
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:43.980
OK.
756
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:44.660
We can say things.
757
00:33:44.819 --> 00:33:45.660
When you say.
758
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:47.880
Where am I going to masturbate?
759
00:33:47.900 --> 00:33:51.869
OK, so that one I died.
760
00:33:52.150 --> 00:33:52.910
But yes.
761
00:33:54.470 --> 00:33:57.109
And then when you say to the to your lawyer,
762
00:33:57.130 --> 00:34:01.779
did you get my email about which associates I think
763
00:34:01.819 --> 00:34:05.509
are uncircumcised? And then she's like, I don't know.
764
00:34:05.470 --> 00:34:06.150
How that helps.
765
00:34:06.210 --> 00:34:08.030
And you're like, you're the lawyer.
766
00:34:08.269 --> 00:34:08.909
Figure it out.
767
00:34:09.130 --> 00:34:10.409
And then you walk away.
768
00:34:10.530 --> 00:34:11.599
It's so good.
769
00:34:11.619 --> 00:34:14.480
And everything to, like, all the actors on the show.
770
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.000
Same thing. Even the walking. Like, you guys stay in
771
00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:21.099
character until you're, like, way off. Like, until you're completely off. Like,
772
00:34:21.260 --> 00:34:24.349
there's no. There's so much going on in the background.
773
00:34:24.389 --> 00:34:27.289
And you guys are acting no matter. Or, like, it's
774
00:34:27.309 --> 00:34:28.449
just effortless. The show.
775
00:34:29.260 --> 00:34:31.210
I just thought like, you know, it'd be a really
776
00:34:31.429 --> 00:34:32.389
fun thing to do.
777
00:34:32.409 --> 00:34:34.349
It looks effortless. I'm sure you guys, you know, put
778
00:34:34.369 --> 00:34:35.130
a lot of work into it.
779
00:34:35.489 --> 00:34:38.920
Write a Hallmark movie about Carol called Carol of the Bells.
780
00:34:39.219 --> 00:34:41.780
And it's a Christmas Hallmark movie of that character. That
781
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:42.409
would be so much fun.
782
00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:43.139
I like this.
783
00:34:43.389 --> 00:34:43.989
My fantasy.
784
00:34:44.030 --> 00:34:46.210
And it's got that scary Christmas song.
785
00:34:46.369 --> 00:34:46.489
Yeah.
786
00:34:49.289 --> 00:34:51.750
That one always makes me i'm like oh god somebody's
787
00:34:51.869 --> 00:34:52.730
gonna kill me my.
788
00:34:53.150 --> 00:34:56.800

Yeah.
801
00:35:24.329 --> 00:35:25.449
He thinks I'm somebody I'm not.
802
00:35:25.949 --> 00:35:28.369
Um, you are somebody. Thank you.
803
00:35:28.429 --> 00:35:29.699
Okay.
804
00:35:29.739 --> 00:35:32.659
Jeff is, he's been lying. He's been telling him that
805
00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:33.460
he's Oprah.
806
00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:35.639
Or I take my mask off and I'm a mayor.
807
00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:39.699
I'm America Ferreira. Um, I love America Ferreira. Forget that.
808
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:44.230
That's a superstar too. Oh my ugly Betty is amazing. Um, Okay,
809
00:35:44.510 --> 00:35:46.550
so I have to ask you this. So when it
810
00:35:47.170 --> 00:35:51.659
was before COVID, probably season three or four, it was
811
00:35:51.780 --> 00:35:55.860
after your character is more prominent. I went into Walmart
812
00:35:55.940 --> 00:35:58.260
and I just I always chit chat with everybody. And
813
00:35:58.280 --> 00:35:59.840
I was chit chatting with some of the employees who
814
00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:02.300
were gossiping about other employees. So I went over there
815
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:03.619
and I started like I want to know the tea
816
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:07.019
and I was like, do you guys watch Superstore? And
817
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.300
they were like, yeah. And I was like, okay, who's the,
818
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:11.239
who's the Carol? Who's the, you know, that kind of thing.
819
00:36:11.340 --> 00:36:13.780
And they had it already done.
820
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:14.440
They did.
821
00:36:14.460 --> 00:36:17.619
Yeah. They knew who like, who the straight laced, you know,
822
00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:20.739
perfectionist one was. They knew who like the slacker was.
823
00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:23.579
They knew every, like it was so, so have you
824
00:36:23.619 --> 00:36:26.079
gone into like a big box store and like, like
825
00:36:26.460 --> 00:36:29.139
been recognized and like talk to people there?
826
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:33.929
Um, I haven't done that specifically. I do occasionally still
827
00:36:33.949 --> 00:36:34.820
get recognized.
828
00:36:34.889 --> 00:36:34.989
Yeah.
829
00:36:35.739 --> 00:36:38.619
Um, but I haven't done it specifically in like a
830
00:36:38.659 --> 00:36:41.230
big box store. Have I?
831
00:36:43.590 --> 00:36:45.250
No, I don't think so. It happens to me more
832
00:36:45.269 --> 00:36:46.289
in the grocery.
833
00:36:45.929 --> 00:36:47.219
Store at night.
834
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:49.539
Which is a version of that.
835
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:51.760
Yeah, because you guys have the groceries in there. I
836
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.280
act like you guys actually work there.
837
00:36:56.190 --> 00:36:56.690
Oh, my gosh.
838
00:36:56.869 --> 00:37:01.710
I laugh so much at night. Superstore is my go-to.
839
00:37:01.849 --> 00:37:04.550
Sometimes I watch Golden Girls, but Golden Girls, they are
840
00:37:04.809 --> 00:37:07.360
so mean to each other, like, nonstop. So sometimes I
841
00:37:07.380 --> 00:37:12.059
have to, like, not watch that show. But, yeah, I'll, like,
842
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.559
laugh so much that I start, like... Nope. And then
843
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:16.219
I roll over.
844
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:18.260
You know what's funny? I'm sorry to interrupt.
845
00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:19.519
Oh, no, no, no. Interrupt.
846
00:37:20.860 --> 00:37:24.250
Interrupt. The show was so important to me that I
847
00:37:24.269 --> 00:37:27.710
have not gone back to watch it. And I especially
848
00:37:27.829 --> 00:37:31.650
cannot watch the episodes, like the COVID episodes. And people
849
00:37:31.670 --> 00:37:34.369
will ask me questions about filming then. And I'm like,
850
00:37:35.489 --> 00:37:39.469
I don't know. I'm like, oh yeah, we're getting tested.
851
00:37:39.570 --> 00:37:43.829
It was just such a heightened time and I'm glad
852
00:37:43.869 --> 00:37:45.610
we did it and I think that it was important
853
00:37:45.630 --> 00:37:48.079
but it was so and then the show was ending
854
00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:55.039
and it was like that season was just it's I
855
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:57.139
like I don't I should go back and watch it
856
00:37:57.179 --> 00:37:59.570
at some point but it was just such a weird
857
00:38:00.449 --> 00:38:03.989
time yeah and like sad and weird I mean for
858
00:38:04.030 --> 00:38:07.389
everybody so I was lucky to be working yeah um
859
00:38:08.150 --> 00:38:09.860
but people will ask me they're like oh do you
860
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:12.119
remember the episode I'm like I don't remember that season
861
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:12.599
at all.
862
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:14.900
It was that time was a blur for me but
863
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:16.559
I can't imagine because you guys were one of the
864
00:38:16.699 --> 00:38:20.389
only shows at that time that were like every like
865
00:38:20.409 --> 00:38:22.030
the place we all had to go was the grocery
866
00:38:22.070 --> 00:38:24.849
store So we all were going through what you guys
867
00:38:24.889 --> 00:38:27.469
were going through. And the fact that you guys made
868
00:38:27.489 --> 00:38:29.929
it humorous. And then just the stuff that, not to
869
00:38:29.949 --> 00:38:32.239
go back to like my, no, this is icon worship.
870
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:34.940
So it's fine. The stuff that you guys touch on
871
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:39.300
with humor, like you guys talk about race, sexual orientation. Yeah.
872
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:40.800
Immigration.
873
00:38:40.820 --> 00:38:42.599
Oh, my God.
874
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:46.179
Okay. That episode was the– like, I cry every time.
875
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:47.369
I can't watch it.
876
00:38:47.619 --> 00:38:48.329
I can't watch it.
877
00:38:48.460 --> 00:38:48.679
No.
878
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:50.280
And the– oh, my God. That's going to make me
879
00:38:50.300 --> 00:38:53.590
verklempt right now. Yeah. It's an important episode that everyone
880
00:38:53.619 --> 00:38:56.909
should watch at some point that maybe– but that was hard. Wow.
881
00:38:57.300 --> 00:38:58.570
Super ahead of its time.
882
00:38:59.670 --> 00:38:59.929
Okay.
883
00:38:59.969 --> 00:39:02.369
Yeah, we need that. People need to rewatch it now, Americans,
884
00:39:02.449 --> 00:39:03.010
and see what it's like.
885
00:39:03.130 --> 00:39:04.010
Yeah.
886
00:39:04.670 --> 00:39:09.329
But, yeah, that– you guys super short especially season six
887
00:39:09.449 --> 00:39:11.230
is going to be like a part of pop culture
888
00:39:11.309 --> 00:39:17.219
history because of covid the racial uh time like the
889
00:39:17.300 --> 00:39:19.619
the riot everything going on and you guys touched it
890
00:39:19.659 --> 00:39:22.880
with humor like how how was the writing back then
891
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:24.800
or like the coaching or how was it.
892
00:39:25.219 --> 00:39:30.820
The writing you know the writers are phenomenal Like we
893
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:33.920
would get scripts and we'd be like, how how are
894
00:39:33.940 --> 00:39:39.400
they being relevant and funny and having such a soft touch?
895
00:39:40.230 --> 00:39:42.679
You know, like nobody feels like they're being hit over
896
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.519
the head. And, you know, a lot of those writers
897
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:47.340
are on St. Dennis Medical, which I don't know if
898
00:39:47.380 --> 00:39:48.849
you've seen it, but it's great.
899
00:39:48.969 --> 00:39:49.130
Yeah.
900
00:39:49.150 --> 00:39:52.789
So that takes place in a fake hospital in Oregon. So, yeah,
901
00:39:53.070 --> 00:39:56.510
it's an Oregon one. And then. But yeah, the cast,
902
00:39:56.630 --> 00:39:59.380
I'm forgetting names, but the head of the hospital.
903
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:00.960
Wendy McClendon.
904
00:40:01.219 --> 00:40:01.840
Oh, yeah.
905
00:40:02.139 --> 00:40:03.340
Wendy McClendon Covey.
906
00:40:03.500 --> 00:40:03.719
Yeah.
907
00:40:03.739 --> 00:40:06.239
So she's the actress. So she has wished my dog
908
00:40:06.260 --> 00:40:08.599
a happy birthday, too. Of course she has.
909
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:09.429
She loves animals.
910
00:40:09.619 --> 00:40:09.929
Yeah.
911
00:40:10.070 --> 00:40:13.230
So there's like Gus Gus is so intertwined with pop culture,
912
00:40:13.570 --> 00:40:18.489
similar to like how you are because shifting gears from Superstore,
913
00:40:18.869 --> 00:40:23.559
you've been in shows in like Modern Family, The Middle, Frasier, Friends,
914
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:27.409
Will & Grace. Gilmore Girl. You've been in, you've touched
915
00:40:27.469 --> 00:40:30.510
on all of these iconic shows. Do you ever have
916
00:40:30.570 --> 00:40:34.869
like those pinch me moments or how, cause you see
917
00:40:34.889 --> 00:40:37.349
it in such a different lens than we do. So
918
00:40:37.429 --> 00:40:40.030
have you, what was your, I know it's a broad question,
919
00:40:40.050 --> 00:40:42.949
but like, do you ever have those pinch me moments or?
920
00:40:43.989 --> 00:40:47.239
Yeah. I mean, because like when I, you know, whatever,
921
00:40:47.260 --> 00:40:51.719
I'm in high school and I'm watching, you know, moonlighting
922
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:52.340
or whatever it was on.
923
00:40:52.340 --> 00:40:56.210
And like, thinking, Oh, I want to, I want to
924
00:40:56.230 --> 00:40:57.530
be on TV. I want to be on TV.
925
00:40:57.610 --> 00:41:00.639
And then, so the first job I did was, um,
926
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:02.280
Dharma and Greg.
927
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:02.840
Yeah.
928
00:41:03.019 --> 00:41:06.340
And I had one line and I was thrilled.
929
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:10.059
I remember like they filmed at the 20th century Fox
930
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:12.280
lot and I drove on the lot.
931
00:41:12.539 --> 00:41:13.760
I had what's called a drive on.
932
00:41:13.909 --> 00:41:14.199
Yeah.
933
00:41:14.389 --> 00:41:15.809
And it was, that was a big deal.
934
00:41:15.889 --> 00:41:17.969
And I had a trailer and it was just like,
935
00:41:18.469 --> 00:41:20.369
and this is well before cell phones. So I don't,
936
00:41:20.570 --> 00:41:23.130
I don't have any photos of anything. And it was
937
00:41:23.210 --> 00:41:28.219
just like, I mean, I can still like tap back
938
00:41:28.300 --> 00:41:33.000
into like how thrilling it was. And then, and then
939
00:41:33.019 --> 00:41:36.719
it continued like that. And then I remember when I
940
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:43.539
did friends, the, um, uh, I had, the audition was
941
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:46.139
on a Monday morning. The callback was Monday afternoon and
942
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:49.239
I started work on Tuesday. So it was like, went
943
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:53.880
really fast. And, and so, um, I remember, and I
944
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:55.260
had a day job at the time, so I had
945
00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:57.599
to like cover all of my, so I was working
946
00:41:57.659 --> 00:41:59.239
Tuesday through Friday of that week. I had to like
947
00:41:59.300 --> 00:42:02.059
cover all of my shifts and it was like, you know,
948
00:42:02.099 --> 00:42:04.570
I booked episode of Friends and everybody's like, oh my God.
949
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.869
And so I remember, so I had all of this
950
00:42:08.909 --> 00:42:13.030
stress about covering shifts and stuff. And then I, you know,
951
00:42:13.050 --> 00:42:15.110
went to sleep or whatever. The next day, then I
952
00:42:15.150 --> 00:42:19.929
had to drive to Warner Brothers and, you know, parked
953
00:42:20.010 --> 00:42:20.690
and all that kind of stuff.
954
00:42:20.849 --> 00:42:22.289
And then I got really nervous.
955
00:42:22.309 --> 00:42:22.389
Sure.
956
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:26.050
And I was like, oh, and I was, I remember
957
00:42:26.110 --> 00:42:30.469
walking from the parking structure to the soundstage and getting
958
00:42:30.510 --> 00:42:34.610
like really, really anxious. And then outside of the soundstage,
959
00:42:35.369 --> 00:42:39.469
I was like, Irene, your agent thinks you can do this.
960
00:42:39.929 --> 00:42:42.829
The casting director thinks you can do this. The writer
961
00:42:42.989 --> 00:42:43.909
thinks you can do this.
962
00:42:44.809 --> 00:42:45.389
You can do this.
963
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:48.320
And I had a pretty small part. And then I
964
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:51.380
walked in and was like, you know, trying to keep
965
00:42:51.420 --> 00:42:53.079
it together. And the first person to talk to me
966
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:56.179
was Matt LeBlanc. And he walked up to me and
967
00:42:56.679 --> 00:42:59.360
extended his hand. And he was like, Hi, my name's Matt,
968
00:42:59.380 --> 00:43:02.519
what's yours? And I said, Oh, my name is Irene.
969
00:43:02.699 --> 00:43:05.960
And he goes, Oh, it's my grandmother's name. I knew
970
00:43:05.980 --> 00:43:08.860
there was a reason I liked you. And from that moment,
971
00:43:09.099 --> 00:43:12.539
I was like, Oh, I'm gonna be okay. Like, it
972
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:15.840
cost him nothing. I mean, he I'm sure he doesn't
973
00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:19.230
remember that. It cost him no loss of ego to
974
00:43:19.250 --> 00:43:22.110
be kind to somebody who just has like three lines
975
00:43:22.170 --> 00:43:24.929
or two lines or whatever it was. So that was
976
00:43:24.989 --> 00:43:27.820
a real pinch me moment too, where I was just like, oh, okay,
977
00:43:27.860 --> 00:43:29.639
these people are making a million.
978
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:30.000
Dollars a week.
979
00:43:31.019 --> 00:43:34.699
I better come correct. Like, and I'm so lucky to
980
00:43:34.739 --> 00:43:37.679
be here. So that was a real pinch me moment
981
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:38.480
for sure.
982
00:43:38.500 --> 00:43:42.099
Yeah. And you had, I think you were just in one,
983
00:43:42.139 --> 00:43:45.460
maybe two, but you had a pretty good, good, sad role.
984
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:45.880
Yeah.
985
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:49.840
It was with Matthew Perry. Yeah. And you played his assistant.
986
00:43:49.860 --> 00:43:52.210
Doesn't he, he kind of dogs on, he's like talking
987
00:43:52.230 --> 00:43:53.969
crap about you in front of cats.
988
00:43:54.010 --> 00:43:54.230
Yeah.
989
00:43:54.369 --> 00:43:56.329
Oh, and then you go on and Carol goes on
990
00:43:56.349 --> 00:43:57.409
to try to kill the.
991
00:43:57.369 --> 00:43:59.250
Cat, kill a cat. It doesn't make sense.
992
00:43:59.329 --> 00:44:01.230
Wait, was that care? Maybe that was Carol.
993
00:44:01.250 --> 00:44:06.110
Oh my God. Earlier life. Yeah. Um, I had had,
994
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:07.960
I think I was in two scenes and then I
995
00:44:07.980 --> 00:44:10.380
think only one aired or one got cut or whatever
996
00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:12.019
it was. It doesn't really matter. But yes, I was
997
00:44:12.059 --> 00:44:13.239
like a crazy cat lady.
998
00:44:13.300 --> 00:44:16.719
But he was, uh, he was, he was so iconic.
999
00:44:16.780 --> 00:44:19.260
Like he was, he was one of my comedic heroes, him.
1000
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.960
And then, um, I don't know if you ever watched, uh,
1001
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:25.949
all that from Nickelodeon back in the nineties. So Lori Beth,
1002
00:44:26.070 --> 00:44:30.070
Lori Beth Denberg, Matthew Perry, uh, you're the newest one
1003
00:44:30.110 --> 00:44:33.530
on my Mount Rushmore. Um, as of a few years ago, but, um,
1004
00:44:34.050 --> 00:44:36.389
But yeah, iconic comedic actors.
1005
00:44:37.010 --> 00:44:38.369
Yeah, yeah.
1006
00:44:39.710 --> 00:44:42.070
He was really wonderful to me, Matthew Perry was. He
1007
00:44:42.090 --> 00:44:46.690
was really nice. I mean, because none of them have
1008
00:44:46.710 --> 00:44:48.789
to be nice to anybody. They were all nice to me,
1009
00:44:48.849 --> 00:44:50.869
but I didn't really deal with any of the rest.
1010
00:44:51.550 --> 00:44:52.239
Not as much.
1011
00:44:52.590 --> 00:44:54.739
They were all totally fine to me. Nobody was mean
1012
00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:57.030
to me at all. But he was really wonderful and
1013
00:44:57.070 --> 00:44:59.769
Matt LeBlanc. They were both really, really great.
1014
00:44:59.829 --> 00:45:01.730
And that's someone that even like on a more micro
1015
00:45:01.769 --> 00:45:04.269
level that like our listeners should always do too is
1016
00:45:04.329 --> 00:45:07.110
like no one's ever above anybody. Like we should all,
1017
00:45:07.309 --> 00:45:08.690
we're all in this together.
1018
00:45:08.710 --> 00:45:10.329
It's nice to be nice.
1019
00:45:10.409 --> 00:45:10.750
Yeah.
1020
00:45:10.849 --> 00:45:12.610
It's nice to be nice.
1021
00:45:12.630 --> 00:45:13.750
The thing is it's easy.
1022
00:45:14.349 --> 00:45:17.070
Like, it just costs you nothing to be like, hello,
1023
00:45:17.090 --> 00:45:18.139
welcome to the set.
1024
00:45:18.699 --> 00:45:19.840
I know I'm a big deal.
1025
00:45:19.860 --> 00:45:22.780
And you're here, you know, for just one episode.
1026
00:45:22.820 --> 00:45:23.559
We're glad you're here.
1027
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:26.199
Like, it just is, it's just easy to do. And
1028
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:28.119
it just costs nothing.
1029
00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:30.670
When people say like, when I'm going to the checkout,
1030
00:45:30.829 --> 00:45:32.789
I usually do like, I don't do self checkout because
1031
00:45:32.809 --> 00:45:35.550
that's too overwhelming. But when the cashier is like, how
1032
00:45:35.570 --> 00:45:37.530
are you doing today? And I always say like, eight.
1033
00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:41.440
You know, like, I give them a number. But then
1034
00:45:41.460 --> 00:45:42.980
when I'm having, like, a really bad day, I do
1035
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:45.280
kind of trauma dump on them a little bit. And
1036
00:45:45.300 --> 00:45:47.579
I think that's my, you know, Carol coming out or
1037
00:45:47.619 --> 00:45:51.369
whatever that I, like, probably overshare a little bit. I
1038
00:45:51.409 --> 00:45:53.590
do really want to, before we lose you, I want
1039
00:45:53.610 --> 00:45:57.090
to talk to you about the exciting news that you
1040
00:45:57.190 --> 00:45:59.280
are on a new show on Disney and Disney +.
1041
00:45:59.369 --> 00:46:00.610
I am.
1042
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:00.880
Yes.
1043
00:46:00.889 --> 00:46:02.139
It's called Electric Bloom.
1044
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:02.280
It is.
1045
00:46:04.139 --> 00:46:08.579
Absolutely delightful and charming and smart and funny.
1046
00:46:08.780 --> 00:46:09.559
It's great.
1047
00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:13.340
And I'm on three episodes and we're waiting for a
1048
00:46:14.500 --> 00:46:16.900
season to pick up and fingers are crossed that it'll
1049
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:18.530
be picked up, but it's wonderful.
1050
00:46:18.570 --> 00:46:20.260
And the music is written by Diane Warren.
1051
00:46:20.610 --> 00:46:22.829
That's I don't know if you, yeah, that's a big,
1052
00:46:22.849 --> 00:46:23.949
I mean, it's huge.
1053
00:46:24.090 --> 00:46:25.349
All the songs are bops.
1054
00:46:25.590 --> 00:46:28.469
Yes, they're all bops. I don't want to say actually,
1055
00:46:28.510 --> 00:46:31.539
but like sometimes, you know, I don't listen to Hannah
1056
00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:35.519
Montana on the regular. But this is like elevated music.
1057
00:46:35.539 --> 00:46:37.510
I totally agree. I totally agree.
1058
00:46:37.610 --> 00:46:40.909
And then I haven't got to your episodes, but Peg,
1059
00:46:40.929 --> 00:46:44.050
you look like you're having a lot of fun. You
1060
00:46:44.090 --> 00:46:46.809
posted some behind the scenes photos, which is awesome. But
1061
00:46:46.829 --> 00:46:49.250
the trampoline, I don't want to give spoilers, but there's
1062
00:46:50.150 --> 00:46:53.030
awesome costumes that you have. And you look like you're
1063
00:46:53.050 --> 00:46:56.340
having so much fun. Like I know I'm manifesting this,
1064
00:46:56.380 --> 00:46:59.340
that this and Superstore kind of reboot and you working
1065
00:46:59.380 --> 00:47:01.949
with John Waters. Those are all the things I'm manifesting
1066
00:47:01.969 --> 00:47:04.460
right now.
1067
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:06.340
I need to manifest these. You don't have to do
1068
00:47:06.380 --> 00:47:06.860
all the work.
1069
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:10.619
We'll work as a team. Listener, we're going to work
1070
00:47:10.699 --> 00:47:12.539
as a team. I'll send out the press release.
1071
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:15.280
We got this. I think you should really hold Jeff accountable, though.
1072
00:47:15.449 --> 00:47:17.849
And say, like, I haven't got a call from John Waters. Like,
1073
00:47:17.889 --> 00:47:18.909
really start probing him.
1074
00:47:19.130 --> 00:47:21.949
But don't you think that Irene would be perfect to
1075
00:47:22.130 --> 00:47:24.349
pair up in some kind of project with Jennifer Tilley?
1076
00:47:25.010 --> 00:47:26.409
Yeah, for sure.
1077
00:47:26.429 --> 00:47:27.849
Oh, I love Jennifer Tilling.
1078
00:47:27.949 --> 00:47:30.889
That would be, like, that kind of iconic duo would
1079
00:47:30.929 --> 00:47:33.449
be everything. Like, almost like a buddy comedy. Like a
1080
00:47:33.469 --> 00:47:34.809
Thelma Louise, but, like, funny.
1081
00:47:34.829 --> 00:47:35.489
Yeah.
1082
00:47:35.829 --> 00:47:37.500
Oh, I love it. I love it.
1083
00:47:37.590 --> 00:47:38.289
I have so many plans.
1084
00:47:38.309 --> 00:47:38.690
I love her.
1085
00:47:38.929 --> 00:47:42.489
I just hired myself as one of your managers. Wonderful.
1086
00:47:42.510 --> 00:47:43.769
Thank you.
1087
00:47:43.809 --> 00:47:46.050
So, yeah, I'm excited to get into more Electric Bloom.
1088
00:47:46.349 --> 00:47:48.309
This is, it's going to be big. And I love
1089
00:47:48.869 --> 00:47:50.929
that you're having fun and doing your thing. Because you
1090
00:47:50.969 --> 00:47:53.260
need to be out there making music. I don't want
1091
00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:56.840
to get verklempt again, but you're making people happy. And
1092
00:47:57.039 --> 00:47:59.800
I hope you know that. And we need that.
1093
00:47:59.820 --> 00:48:02.010
You two are making me happy right now.
1094
00:48:02.050 --> 00:48:05.230
Thank you. How about that? We're a happy little group
1095
00:48:05.269 --> 00:48:07.309
right here. It's nice to be here. I want to
1096
00:48:07.369 --> 00:48:09.090
keep you for as long as I can, but I
1097
00:48:09.130 --> 00:48:13.530
want to ask one more little question. Okay. Because I'm
1098
00:48:13.550 --> 00:48:18.659
always curious. Can you watch TV shows and movies and...
1099
00:48:19.300 --> 00:48:22.900
get lost in the story or are you so aware
1100
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.380
because you've been in this business for so long of
1101
00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:28.360
the production and the lines and the sets and the
1102
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:32.179
lighting and everything can you get lost in in shows movies.
1103
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:36.309
I can um i can i just finished watching department
1104
00:48:36.369 --> 00:48:40.050
q on netflix which is a murder show nice i
1105
00:48:40.070 --> 00:48:44.030
love my murder show it's a scottish murder show um
1106
00:48:45.090 --> 00:48:49.269
so i can i I will say that there are
1107
00:48:49.349 --> 00:48:52.730
times when I'll be watching something and I'll be like, man,
1108
00:48:52.769 --> 00:48:54.510
I wonder how many takes of this they did.
1109
00:48:54.630 --> 00:48:55.369
Oh, sure.
1110
00:48:55.389 --> 00:48:59.349
Or, you know, like, oh, or, you know, this is
1111
00:48:59.969 --> 00:49:02.949
what when I most notice it is when there's dialogue
1112
00:49:02.989 --> 00:49:03.829
that I think is tough.
1113
00:49:03.849 --> 00:49:07.050
Like, I don't really I do watch hospital shows. Have
1114
00:49:07.070 --> 00:49:07.710
you seen The Pit?
1115
00:49:08.289 --> 00:49:08.670
Oh, yeah.
1116
00:49:08.750 --> 00:49:09.989
With E.R.
1117
00:49:10.869 --> 00:49:11.429
That was intense.
1118
00:49:11.449 --> 00:49:12.030
Noah Wiley.
1119
00:49:12.090 --> 00:49:12.369
Yeah.
1120
00:49:12.489 --> 00:49:15.449
I'm like, how did I'm I was watching it. I
1121
00:49:15.489 --> 00:49:17.860
was like, how are they? how do you memorize these lines?
1122
00:49:18.230 --> 00:49:18.409
Yeah.
1123
00:49:18.449 --> 00:49:21.130
Like, how do you, all of this medical jargon, like,
1124
00:49:21.210 --> 00:49:24.030
how do you, as an actor, especially if you come
1125
00:49:24.070 --> 00:49:29.519
in for one episode or, you know, and you're there for, like, how.
1126
00:49:29.449 --> 00:49:30.530
Do you memorize this?
1127
00:49:30.929 --> 00:49:34.780
Like, that's, because memorization does not come super easily to me.
1128
00:49:35.219 --> 00:49:37.039
And so that, I would say that that's when I
1129
00:49:37.099 --> 00:49:39.920
most notice it when I'm watching something and I'm like, Wow,
1130
00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:42.780
this is a monologue with a lot of hard words
1131
00:49:43.179 --> 00:49:45.480
and they obviously memorized it.
1132
00:49:45.699 --> 00:49:47.420
Like, that's amazing to me.
1133
00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:50.239
Have you seen Adolescence or Adolescent?
1134
00:49:50.500 --> 00:49:53.340
Okay, I saw the first episode and I was traumatized.
1135
00:49:53.380 --> 00:49:56.500
Yeah, it's a hard show to watch, but cinematography wise,
1136
00:49:56.579 --> 00:49:58.699
it's all shot in like one shot.
1137
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:00.320
It's one take. Yeah, it's one shot.
1138
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:02.760
And it takes you from like house to police station,
1139
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:04.619
you know, and everything at the travel time. And it
1140
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:05.300
is so.
1141
00:50:05.539 --> 00:50:05.880
It is.
1142
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:09.710
It's not something that's sort of faked. I think it's real.
1143
00:50:09.730 --> 00:50:14.219
Like, they rehearsed for, like, weeks before they actually shot.
1144
00:50:15.420 --> 00:50:16.840
Yeah, it's a hard show to watch.
1145
00:50:16.900 --> 00:50:19.920
It's incredible. I need to get back to it because
1146
00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:21.219
I know it's wonderful.
1147
00:50:21.260 --> 00:50:24.420
But it was, like, really hard. Because my fiancé is
1148
00:50:24.460 --> 00:50:27.119
a lot like you. He falls asleep to, like, Dateline
1149
00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:30.900
and SVU kind of things. But I always have to watch, like,
1150
00:50:30.940 --> 00:50:32.929
Superstore after because I need to go to bed with
1151
00:50:32.969 --> 00:50:35.469
a good taste in my mouth. But I asked him casually.
1152
00:50:35.489 --> 00:50:37.130
I was like, oh, how would you kill me, you know?
1153
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.599
assuming that he would just say i would never kill
1154
00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:43.079
you he said i would inject in between your toes
1155
00:50:43.099 --> 00:50:45.239
with insulin and and.
1156
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:48.590
I was like oh damn it like that's so terrifying
1157
00:50:48.619 --> 00:50:51.309
you were socks to bed though yeah yeah i'm like
1158
00:50:51.489 --> 00:50:54.789
oh but um but no i um do you have
1159
00:50:54.849 --> 00:50:57.369
any other questions for our icon of the week no
1160
00:50:57.389 --> 00:50:59.750
we've kind of been pretty long yeah i'm so sorry we.
1161
00:50:59.670 --> 00:51:01.690
Kept you so long i have to say something okay
1162
00:51:01.710 --> 00:51:01.929
say it.
1163
00:51:03.139 --> 00:51:05.059
So I listened to your 80s episode.
1164
00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:06.679
Oh, cool.
1165
00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:10.590
Yes. And I think the song of the 80s is
1166
00:51:10.690 --> 00:51:12.989
Rio by Duran Duran. So I don't want to, I
1167
00:51:13.829 --> 00:51:16.929
don't want to, you know, you liked Private Dancer.
1168
00:51:16.949 --> 00:51:21.289
Yeah. And you liked, don't tell me, I'm going to
1169
00:51:21.309 --> 00:51:23.429
remember what it is. Michael Jackson.
1170
00:51:23.489 --> 00:51:24.099
Yeah. Right?
1171
00:51:24.460 --> 00:51:24.679
Yes.
1172
00:51:25.219 --> 00:51:25.940
Dirty Diana.
1173
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:26.619
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1174
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:29.909
But i and i was listening i was very engaged
1175
00:51:30.070 --> 00:51:31.949
and i was like it's rio.
1176
00:51:31.949 --> 00:51:34.190
Oh yeah for me it's rio.
1177
00:51:34.070 --> 00:51:37.110
I love that so some of our episodes usually we're
1178
00:51:37.190 --> 00:51:39.469
getting together on the weekend and like kind of drinking
1179
00:51:39.510 --> 00:51:43.599
and partaking in other activities um terrific there is we
1180
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:47.099
did start a news segment a news episode so notable
1181
00:51:47.139 --> 00:51:49.820
news there is an episode where i do talk about
1182
00:51:50.590 --> 00:51:52.670
an event that happened. So if you listen to the
1183
00:51:52.710 --> 00:51:57.449
blueberry special, just use caution and don't think of me differently. But, um,
1184
00:51:57.650 --> 00:51:59.389
but yeah, I went to a Mexican cookout cause my,
1185
00:51:59.429 --> 00:52:01.610
my spouse is Mexican and the night before, and then
1186
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:04.300
I went hiking the next day and unfortunate incident happened.
1187
00:52:04.820 --> 00:52:07.380
So anyways, um, I'm not sure why I'm sharing this
1188
00:52:07.539 --> 00:52:09.719
with Irene right now, but.
1189
00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:10.460
We're, we're friends.
1190
00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:16.079
My poor bodies, bodies that do things.
1191
00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:18.800
Okay. Forget that. I said that. Um, I, where can
1192
00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:21.429
our listener find you? And find what you're working on.
1193
00:52:22.110 --> 00:52:25.449
I am mostly on Instagram is where I am. I'm
1194
00:52:25.469 --> 00:52:27.719
not on TikTok. I keep thinking about it. But my
1195
00:52:27.780 --> 00:52:32.159
Instagram is the Irene White, at the Irene White. And
1196
00:52:32.340 --> 00:52:32.940
I do post.
1197
00:52:33.380 --> 00:52:37.260
And, you know, yeah, that would be it.
1198
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:40.679
And listener, your assignment tonight is to, if you cancel

1200
00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.739
Hulu back. Get Disney Plus back. We're on board. Watch
1201
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:51.030
Electric Bloom. Rewatch on repeat Superstore. Because if they see
1202
00:52:51.050 --> 00:52:54.449
that we are here for it, they will make a
1203
00:52:54.530 --> 00:52:56.489
reboot or they'll make a TV special.
1204
00:52:56.889 --> 00:52:57.469
They will do it.
1205
00:52:57.849 --> 00:53:02.179
So let's rally behind this in 2026. Yes. Thank you. Yes.
1206
00:53:02.260 --> 00:53:02.840
Thank you.
1207
00:53:02.860 --> 00:53:03.460
We're on this.
1208
00:53:03.679 --> 00:53:04.019
Yes.
1209
00:53:05.380 --> 00:53:06.920
And I think that is going to be it. I
1210
00:53:06.940 --> 00:53:11.599
have two, like, shameless things to ask. If you're only
1211
00:53:11.639 --> 00:53:14.909
if you're comfortable. can I take a this is so
1212
00:53:15.550 --> 00:53:20.190
invasive probably can I take a picture yeah.
1213
00:53:18.860 --> 00:53:24.400
Of course okay should I my place is kind of
1214
00:53:24.420 --> 00:53:27.119
a mess should I blur my background you should.
1215
00:53:26.920 --> 00:53:30.469
See I have four I have two dogs two cats
1216
00:53:31.170 --> 00:53:37.110
and a 14 year old like your every whatever your
1217
00:53:37.130 --> 00:53:38.789

I let's do this because that way it looks I
1219
00:53:41.070 --> 00:53:41.369
feel like.
1220
00:53:41.329 --> 00:53:44.250
It looks really messy Andy's background back here because we're

Jeff got me into superstore and it's my like right
1242
00:54:29.570 --> 00:54:31.460
after the second and third episode i was like this
1243
00:54:31.500 --> 00:54:33.500
is my new comfort show so i love the show
1244
00:54:33.559 --> 00:54:34.639
so i'm super.
1245
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:36.599
Oh i'm so happy to hear that and her i
1246
00:54:36.619 --> 00:54:40.269
think uh irene's or carol's first line is they're talking
1247
00:54:40.289 --> 00:54:41.889
about things they want to do in the future. And
1248
00:54:41.929 --> 00:54:45.139
she's like, she writes down eat shellfish. And then, but
1249
00:54:45.179 --> 00:54:47.539
then they're like, I read like, Oh, this is what
1250
00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:49.619
you want to do. And then she's like, I'm allergic.
1251
00:54:50.380 --> 00:54:54.090
So to go from that Carol to like the juicy
1252
00:54:54.260 --> 00:54:58.659
couture one, like it's, it's amazing. This, the writing, thank you. The,
1253
00:54:58.750 --> 00:55:01.769

00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:13.239

Thank you.
1262
00:55:13.929 --> 00:55:14.730
Yes, we will.
1263
00:55:14.869 --> 00:55:15.610
I'll see you guys later.
1264
00:55:15.630 --> 00:55:16.190
Bye.
1265
00:55:16.210 --> 00:55:16.369
Bye.
1266
00:55:16.530 --> 00:55:16.809
Bye.
1267
00:55:21.889 --> 00:55:23.190
All right. That was awesome.
1268
00:55:23.489 --> 00:55:25.190
That was awesome. And you know, it's funny. It's like
1269
00:55:25.309 --> 00:55:26.969
before we started recording, you asked if I was nervous.
1270
00:55:27.010 --> 00:55:28.610
I was like, nah, I'm not nervous. But then right
1271
00:55:28.630 --> 00:55:31.389
when we were in the waiting room waiting for her
1272
00:55:31.409 --> 00:55:34.909
to join, my nerves kicked in again. Every, I say
1273
00:55:34.949 --> 00:55:38.590
this every single time we've interviewed anybody, every single person
1274
00:55:38.630 --> 00:55:40.949
has been so nice when they don't need to be
1275
00:55:40.989 --> 00:55:43.289
that nice. You know, it's just crazy. Like, I don't know.
1276
00:55:43.309 --> 00:55:45.469
I get nervous every time still, but it is, she
1277
00:55:45.510 --> 00:55:48.340
was really sweet. I was like, and I love that we,
1278
00:55:48.550 --> 00:55:50.989
before the, we were talking about, I was like, I
1279
00:55:51.030 --> 00:55:53.320
feel like she's been improv and you go in second. Yeah.
1280
00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:55.159
Second city. And then it turned out she was, and
1281
00:55:55.179 --> 00:55:56.360
we called it, we fucking nailed it.
1282
00:55:56.380 --> 00:56:01.440
She has that effortless, um, um, appeal, uh, appearing, uh,
1283
00:56:02.769 --> 00:56:04.650
Like I know like she has that talent and she's
1284
00:56:04.690 --> 00:56:08.110
worked to her craft with her studying theater and studying acting.
1285
00:56:08.389 --> 00:56:11.150
But there's something she has it. And yeah, she was
1286
00:56:11.230 --> 00:56:14.460
genuinely a nice person. I knew she was because of
1287
00:56:14.500 --> 00:56:17.320
like my interactions on. social media with her and my
1288
00:56:17.340 --> 00:56:18.159
dog and stuff.
1289
00:56:18.260 --> 00:56:19.199
She hasn't blocked you yet.
1290
00:56:19.300 --> 00:56:21.900
Yeah, she hasn't blocked me yet. Unlike Shawn Mendes, who
1291
00:56:21.940 --> 00:56:26.440
has blocked me. Shawn Mendes and Meghan McCain, they're not equals, but...
1292
00:56:26.239 --> 00:56:28.880
Because Shawn Mendes is way better. But Shawn Mendes did
1293
00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:32.469
block me. But so many don't. So many don't.
1294
00:56:32.489 --> 00:56:33.329
Yeah, so many don't.
1295
00:56:33.630 --> 00:56:37.550
No, that was surreal. Like, when you see somebody on
1296
00:56:37.590 --> 00:56:40.210
your screen, and even, like, how intimate, like, watching shows
1297
00:56:40.269 --> 00:56:43.289
on your phone is, but, like, Superstore is that comfort
1298
00:56:43.329 --> 00:56:47.570
show for me. Yeah. And seeing somebody... in such, like,
1299
00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:51.599
talking to us, but I've seen her deliver these lines
1300
00:56:51.619 --> 00:56:55.480
that are so intense and so funny, too, on Superstore.
1301
00:56:55.940 --> 00:56:57.179
It was surreal to see her.
1302
00:56:57.340 --> 00:57:00.400
Well, I didn't even... I only started watching Superstore because
1303
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:02.719
of this interview, and it's one of my new comfort shows.
1304
00:57:02.780 --> 00:57:06.940
It's super funny. It's really fucking funny. Like, it's hilarious. Like,
1305
00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:09.699
there's laugh-out moments when I'm watching it alone. Every episode,
1306
00:57:09.719 --> 00:57:12.900
there's gonna be a few. Oh, I forgot what I
1307
00:57:12.900 --> 00:57:13.340
was gonna say.
1308
00:57:14.139 --> 00:57:14.489
Hmm.
1309
00:57:15.739 --> 00:57:18.119
good shit oh but i even before watching the show
1310
00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:20.550
after watching the show i saw all these little clips
1311
00:57:20.780 --> 00:57:22.469
and i never knew what tv show was from but
1312
00:57:22.489 --> 00:57:25.170
i've seen clips of her on like tiktok and instagram
1313
00:57:25.190 --> 00:57:27.190
and shit and then like watching the show i'm like
1314
00:57:27.309 --> 00:57:28.969
oh now now when i see the clips i'm like
1315
00:57:29.050 --> 00:57:31.389
oh i totally get it now so yeah and that's what.
1316
00:57:31.170 --> 00:57:34.090
The world needs more of is just to laugh and
1317
00:57:34.130 --> 00:57:36.610
like i love that we talked about like the diversity
1318
00:57:36.630 --> 00:57:40.269
of the cast and that no matter what You can
1319
00:57:40.429 --> 00:57:44.210
every every watcher or like viewer can identify with at
1320
00:57:44.329 --> 00:57:48.469
least one person. And it's just it's just so relatable.
1321
00:57:48.510 --> 00:57:50.369
And everybody, for the most part, has gone into like,
1322
00:57:50.690 --> 00:57:53.590
you know, grocery store, a big box store, anything like that.
1323
00:57:54.030 --> 00:57:57.210
And it's sometimes we forget that like are the people
1324
00:57:57.230 --> 00:58:02.789
that are working there have these like relationship with each
1325
00:58:02.909 --> 00:58:06.389
other and like these lives that they're going through. And
1326
00:58:06.429 --> 00:58:09.210
it's just I'm sure that I'm curious. I should have
1327
00:58:09.230 --> 00:58:13.880
asked this, too, is if like how did they like
1328
00:58:14.179 --> 00:58:16.280
what kind of research did they do? Did they have
1329
00:58:16.340 --> 00:58:19.400
like it seems like they would have like a what's
1330
00:58:19.420 --> 00:58:21.920
called like an expert witness, somebody that like worked in
1331
00:58:21.940 --> 00:58:24.800
the industry, like be a console or something.
1332
00:58:24.900 --> 00:58:27.039
But it's so weird to that, like there's probably shows
1333
00:58:27.619 --> 00:58:30.849
about big box stores and stuff previously. Maybe I never
1334
00:58:30.889 --> 00:58:33.360
heard of one. But it's such a good idea because
1335
00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:36.920
it's literally endless possibilities of stories.
1336
00:58:36.960 --> 00:58:37.219
Yeah.
1337
00:58:37.340 --> 00:58:39.719
All the different people coming in, just all the new
1338
00:58:39.760 --> 00:58:44.039
products coming out, just society itself. It's like a goldmine.
1339
00:58:45.260 --> 00:58:47.590
It's a genius idea to have a show in a store.
1340
00:58:47.690 --> 00:58:48.630
It's such a good idea.
1341
00:58:48.670 --> 00:58:53.150
Whoever wrote, because she started out as a nonverbal kind
1342
00:58:53.170 --> 00:58:55.690
of character, and then she was a little bit more timid,
1343
00:58:55.730 --> 00:58:58.269
the character of Carol, at the very beginning when she
1344
00:58:58.300 --> 00:59:02.469
was introduced. And when she talked about getting the script
1345
00:59:02.469 --> 00:59:05.960
for the first time that she really takes a shift,
1346
00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:08.849
whoever wrote that, icon. like they are an icon. They,
1347
00:59:08.949 --> 00:59:11.269
they saw something and they were like, we need to,
1348
00:59:11.389 --> 00:59:14.969
we need to utilize this, this actor more. And they, they,
1349
00:59:15.170 --> 00:59:16.309
they killed it. And then I was going to say,
1350
00:59:16.550 --> 00:59:17.989
one thing I didn't get a chance to mention to
1351
00:59:18.090 --> 00:59:21.070
Irene is that there's an episode, I think it's called
1352
00:59:21.110 --> 00:59:23.780
scanners where there's two teams and they are playing like
1353
00:59:23.820 --> 00:59:26.639
laser tag with each other. And Carol is in this
1354
00:59:26.679 --> 00:59:29.909
like roundabout clothing rack. where it's hard for her to
1355
00:59:29.949 --> 00:59:32.750
get people, but she starts shooting people with the laser.
1356
00:59:32.989 --> 00:59:36.070
And then every time she shoots somebody, she says, American sniper, baby.
1357
00:59:36.559 --> 00:59:39.940
And then, so whenever I succeed at something, if it's like,
1358
00:59:40.300 --> 00:59:42.219
I make a basket, if I'm playing basketball with my
1359
00:59:42.239 --> 00:59:44.500
kid or whatever, I will say, or if I throw
1360
00:59:44.519 --> 00:59:46.840
garbage in a garbage can, I'll say American.
1361
00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:47.219
Sniper, baby.
1362
00:59:47.239 --> 00:59:51.010
Like that's because not because of the, um, the movie
1363
00:59:51.030 --> 00:59:51.610
American sniper.
1364
00:59:51.670 --> 00:59:55.530
It's because Carol, like I, that's.
1365
00:59:54.750 --> 00:59:57.309
Like an everyday thing. And like, there's so many quotable
1366
00:59:57.369 --> 01:00:00.880
lines that, definitely maybe not work appropriate because of HR issues,
1367
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:03.860
but anyways, but fabulous. I had such a blast.
1368
01:00:03.909 --> 01:00:07.949
So the only thing that I wish somehow we could
1369
01:00:07.969 --> 01:00:12.329
get is I want to see that fucking Abraham Lincoln.
1370
01:00:12.530 --> 01:00:13.289
Oh my gosh.
1371
01:00:13.650 --> 01:00:13.829
Either.
1372
01:00:13.849 --> 01:00:15.610
I want to see it or I want, I want
1373
01:00:15.630 --> 01:00:17.289
to see the screenplay of it or, you know, the
1374
01:00:17.329 --> 01:00:20.949
script of it. Having fifth graders write a play about
1375
01:00:21.010 --> 01:00:23.780
Abraham Lincoln is so fucking funny to me. Cause like,
1376
01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:25.539
you know, they're going to get some stuff wrong. And I,
1377
01:00:26.219 --> 01:00:29.210
if I were the teacher, I would be like, just
1378
01:00:29.230 --> 01:00:31.360
go with it. Even if it's not right. Like, let's
1379
01:00:31.380 --> 01:00:33.000
just see what we can do with this. I think
1380
01:00:33.019 --> 01:00:35.119
that's so fricking funny. It would be really fun to
1381
01:00:35.139 --> 01:00:38.500
have fifth graders write a show about Abraham Lincoln, but
1382
01:00:38.519 --> 01:00:40.159
then have adults do the show.
1383
01:00:40.500 --> 01:00:43.409
And then the fact that if there wasn't Abraham Lincoln,
1384
01:00:43.530 --> 01:00:45.789
there might like the real guy, there might not have
1385
01:00:45.849 --> 01:00:50.489
been Carol. Like, cause Carol was really grown because of Irene.
1386
01:00:50.829 --> 01:00:52.889
But if there was no, I, uh, Abraham Lincoln, there
1387
01:00:52.909 --> 01:00:54.650
wouldn't have been that play when she was a kid.
1388
01:00:54.710 --> 01:00:57.909
And then there wouldn't have been, this iconic super stork character.
1389
01:00:57.949 --> 01:01:01.079
And then you wouldn't be saying American sniper, baby. When you, yeah.
1390
01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:05.400
It's just fucking crazy. Everything is tied into one another. Um,
1391
01:01:05.519 --> 01:01:07.320
all right, listener. So you have your assignment.
1392
01:01:07.500 --> 01:01:10.179
So really, really quick. You're kind of saying you're glad
1393
01:01:10.219 --> 01:01:11.280
that there was slavery.
1394
01:01:11.360 --> 01:01:15.739
No, I'm glad there's into slavery because without the end
1395
01:01:15.780 --> 01:01:18.300
of slavery, there wouldn't have been a Carol giving the
1396
01:01:18.340 --> 01:01:22.039
iconic line. And anyway, so anyways, so listener, we, we
1397
01:01:22.079 --> 01:01:25.239
have a homework for you. So get Hulu. If you
1398
01:01:25.260 --> 01:01:27.869
don't have Hulu, uh, Watch Superstore so we can get
1399
01:01:27.909 --> 01:01:31.269
some kind of like reunion special kind of thing going.
1400
01:01:31.730 --> 01:01:35.989
On Disney +, watch Electric Bloom. And then with notable

if I lost both my hands tomorrow?
25
00:01:19.689 --> 00:01:23.459
You could be a seat model. I was 16 at
26
00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:26.900
the time, or 15. And then hook it up with
27
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.569
a witch. And that was... Cats can smile, apparently.
28
00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:34.209
Whoa. Weird.
29
00:01:35.670 --> 00:01:37.430
But it doesn't always mean that they're happy.
30
00:01:37.810 --> 00:01:40.150
Lucy receives a call from what I can only assume
31
00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:43.299
is the future winner of every acting award ever. Yeah.
32
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.769
Jenny Noon is a star. Her looks weren't a part
33
00:01:47.829 --> 00:01:48.629
of the issue.
34
00:01:48.989 --> 00:01:51.489
He's like, I had to sell my last top hat
35
00:01:51.510 --> 00:01:52.750
for gas.
36
00:01:53.530 --> 00:02:00.209
Maybe this is not appropriate either, but we'll see. Hello, listener.
37
00:02:00.250 --> 00:02:02.349
Welcome to Notable Nostalgia. I am Jeff.
38
00:02:03.049 --> 00:02:03.549

39
00:02:03.890 --> 00:02:07.189
And we are here for a special episode, Icon Worship,
40
00:02:07.659 --> 00:02:12.289
Irene White. We get to interview Irene White from... the
41
00:02:12.370 --> 00:02:16.300
NBC show Superstore, and she's been in several other shows.
42
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.400

and on.
45
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.599
Any show that our listeners have watched, I guarantee there's
46
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.789
one show at minimum that she's such an icon that
47
00:02:31.830 --> 00:02:34.550
she's been in so many shows that our generation watches.
48
00:02:34.729 --> 00:02:37.310
Yeah, I love that. I am so excited to interview her.
49
00:02:37.370 --> 00:02:37.550
Yeah.
50
00:02:38.349 --> 00:02:42.250
All right, here's our interview with the icon Irene White.
51
00:02:47.129 --> 00:02:51.060
She started as the sharp-tongued and some might say villainous
52
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.620
Carol from NBC's Superstore to popping up in just about
53
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.919
every TV show that millennials loved. She's the scene stealer
54
00:02:57.979 --> 00:03:00.590

side of Jeff I rarely see yeah he's like second
74
00:04:05.849 --> 00:04:07.409

00:04:07.409 --> 00:04:09.870
I do like stand up you know benefit things like
76
00:04:09.889 --> 00:04:12.889

00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:33.959
a go-to song of yours?
87
00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:38.300
Oh, I love black box early nineties.
88
00:04:38.779 --> 00:04:42.860
They're like, um, uh, their dance music. I'm trying to
89
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.540
think of one of the songs. It's like, um, they
90
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.029
did right on time and like, Anyway, they're great.
91
00:04:50.329 --> 00:04:51.069
I'll just check.
92
00:04:51.089 --> 00:04:51.589
Black Box.
93
00:04:51.610 --> 00:04:52.649
I don't think I know them, but I'm going to
94
00:04:52.670 --> 00:04:53.189
check them out now.
95
00:04:53.189 --> 00:04:57.920
You would probably recognize them. You would probably recognize some
96
00:04:57.939 --> 00:04:59.519
of the songs, and I can't believe I can't remember
97
00:04:59.540 --> 00:05:00.459
any of them right now.
98
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.459
You're starstruck too right now.
99
00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:06.279
I am, totally.
100
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:07.720
Your go-to show?
101
00:05:12.250 --> 00:05:17.329
That's such a good question. So I happen to love Murder.
102
00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:20.480
So I love Law & Order.
103
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:20.819
Yeah.
104
00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:23.540
I have seen, and luckily for me, there's like 25
105
00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:24.899
years of it.
106
00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:26.879
And I also watch SVU.
107
00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:30.699
Yeah. So I will, so I guess maybe I like
108
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.079
sexual crimes also. I'm not really sure, but I just
109
00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:37.850
will have it on. And I, like if I'm doing
110
00:05:38.730 --> 00:05:41.689
errands around the house or whatever, housework, and an episode
111
00:05:41.709 --> 00:05:43.629
will start and I'll be like, I've seen this one.
112
00:05:44.170 --> 00:05:48.040
It's like, yeah, Irene, you've seen it all 11, 12 times.
113
00:05:48.250 --> 00:05:49.699
So that's my go-to show.
114
00:05:49.819 --> 00:05:51.839
And it's kind of comfort because, like, for the most part,
115
00:05:51.860 --> 00:05:54.339
they always catch the bad guy. So it's kind of like,
116
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.959
you know, a formula. Have you been in any Law
117
00:05:56.990 --> 00:05:57.620
& Order shows?
118
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.579
No, and I... It is my dream. I will be
119
00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:06.189
a dead body. I will be, like, some neighbor that
120
00:06:06.290 --> 00:06:08.189
doesn't have time to talk to them. That's one of
121
00:06:08.209 --> 00:06:11.230
the jokes. It's like they interview people. And the person's
122
00:06:11.250 --> 00:06:12.129
always like, yeah, anyway.
123
00:06:13.779 --> 00:06:14.720
I gotta get to the gym.
124
00:06:14.779 --> 00:06:17.060
And it's like, we're talking to you about a murderer
125
00:06:17.180 --> 00:06:17.839
in your building.
126
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.459
Somebody you knew just died. Yeah, listen, I gotta pick
127
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:22.160
up some Chinese food.
128
00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:23.959
Yeah, I'm going to Zumba.
129
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.860
And it's like, okay, but all right.
130
00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:28.079
See ya.
131
00:06:28.339 --> 00:06:32.069
If Mariska Harkity is listening or the creators of then
132
00:06:32.350 --> 00:06:36.029
let's hire Irene and Jeff. I'm ready. We can be
133
00:06:36.089 --> 00:06:40.899
going to like Zumba together. That can be our characters. Okay, perfect.
134
00:06:40.939 --> 00:06:41.560
I am ready.
135
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:42.000
Yeah.
136
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:43.389
I am ready for it.
137
00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:45.759
Okay, this is a hard one. Who is your favorite
138
00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:46.500
Spice Girl?
139
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.040
Oh, that's not hard at all. My favorite is Sporty.
140
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:52.579
Oh my gosh, yeah, that's my favorite.
141
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:53.939
My favorite is Sporty.
142
00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:57.810
I'm going to tell you something quickly. In 2007, there
143
00:06:57.819 --> 00:06:58.730
was the reunion tour.
144
00:06:58.750 --> 00:06:58.850
Yeah.
145
00:07:00.110 --> 00:07:03.310
And they were playing here, all five of them, here
146
00:07:03.329 --> 00:07:06.509
in Los Angeles. And I couldn't get anyone to go
147
00:07:06.550 --> 00:07:08.610
with me, so I just went by myself to the
148
00:07:08.649 --> 00:07:09.740
Spice Girls concert.
149
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.720
And I had the best time. The best time.
150
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.519
That's so perplexing to hear. hey, who wants to go
151
00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:24.720
see Spice Girls with Irene White? Like, everybody would want
152
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:25.540
to do that.
153
00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:28.379
Well, it was 2007. Maybe people didn't care about me.
154
00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:29.060
Oh, my God!
155
00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:32.850
But it was great. I love the Spice Girls. I
156
00:07:32.889 --> 00:07:35.009
used to have the Barbie dolls. I'm, like, huge on
157
00:07:35.029 --> 00:07:35.610
the Spice Girls.
158
00:07:35.629 --> 00:07:35.790
Yeah.
159
00:07:35.930 --> 00:07:37.810
No, we are, like, Spice World is one of my
160
00:07:37.870 --> 00:07:40.769
favorite movies of all time. It's so good.
161
00:07:41.389 --> 00:07:42.230
It's so good.
162
00:07:42.529 --> 00:07:45.480
Yeah. And it's self-aware. Like, people think it's just ridiculous,
163
00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:47.120
but it's self-aware that it's camp.
164
00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:49.379
So it's actually quite smart.
165
00:07:49.459 --> 00:07:49.839
Yeah.
166
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.899
For his birthday last year, I got him all five
167
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.470
Spice Girls Barbie dolls, but I ordered them from eBay.
168
00:07:54.730 --> 00:07:58.569
And when they arrived, they stink so much like cigarettes.
169
00:07:58.889 --> 00:08:02.470
I haven't given it to him yet. And I just basically,
170
00:08:02.629 --> 00:08:04.149
now I feel bad. I'm like, hey, I got you
171
00:08:04.170 --> 00:08:05.620
a present, but they're still at my house.
172
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:06.980
I think we should, like how back in the day
173
00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:09.439
they had smoking and non-smoking sections. Maybe we should have
174
00:08:09.500 --> 00:08:12.040
smoking Barbie Spice Girls and a non-smoking, you know?
175
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.870
But you know, from eBay perspective, um you have to
176
00:08:15.889 --> 00:08:18.329
get things from it'll say smoke-free home.
177
00:08:18.509 --> 00:08:21.709
Oh there we go yeah i didn't know i just assumed.
178
00:08:21.470 --> 00:08:24.750
Yeah yeah that's good to know i know yeah anyway
179
00:08:24.949 --> 00:08:27.509
and then uh this is the last lightning round who's
180
00:08:27.529 --> 00:08:31.930
your favorite who's your favorite dog on instagram oh.
181
00:08:31.709 --> 00:08:34.779
My god my favorite dog on instagram besides gus gus no.
182
00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:38.860
You can say gus gus that was just a silly
183
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.759
but it is gus gus right it is actually oh
184
00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:44.059
my gosh I'm so sorry about that.
185
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.870
I wanted to tack on two other quick lightning round
186
00:08:45.970 --> 00:08:49.830
questions since it is Halloween time did you have a
187
00:08:49.870 --> 00:08:51.610
favorite costume that you dressed up as when you.
188
00:08:51.570 --> 00:08:56.450
Were younger so for many years I went as a
189
00:08:56.490 --> 00:09:02.389
crayon oh what color red one year blue another year
190
00:09:02.409 --> 00:09:05.830
and basically my mother would make our costumes and so
191
00:09:05.870 --> 00:09:09.129
it was really just like a tube of felt and
192
00:09:09.169 --> 00:09:10.509
then like a pointy.
193
00:09:11.429 --> 00:09:12.929
I think that's pretty awesome.
194
00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:14.620
Well, and it's being safe because you never know when
195
00:09:14.629 --> 00:09:16.139
you're going to have to either be a blood or
196
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:16.500
a crib.
197
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:17.100
Oh, wow.
198
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:17.279
See?
199
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:18.980
Yeah, you're just perfectly right.
200
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.080
See, I was ahead of the curve.
201
00:09:21.179 --> 00:09:23.460
Yeah, and crayons, back when we were kids, they were it.
202
00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:24.539
They were the coolest.
203
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.490
Everyone's like, oh, Xbox, PlayStation. Back then, it was crayons.
204
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:27.679
Yeah.
205
00:09:28.179 --> 00:09:30.070
Especially with the crayons that had the sharpener in it.
206
00:09:30.169 --> 00:09:31.830
If you had one of those, you were set. And
207
00:09:31.870 --> 00:09:34.370
last Halloween question. Oh, sorry. Yes.
208
00:09:34.590 --> 00:09:35.850
I was just going to say you came from a
209
00:09:35.889 --> 00:09:36.509
rich family.
210
00:09:36.629 --> 00:09:37.809
Exactly, yes.
211
00:09:38.110 --> 00:09:39.570
You're like, oh, man.
212
00:09:39.590 --> 00:09:41.470
What's your go-to favorite Halloween candy?
213
00:09:44.269 --> 00:09:49.720
Okay, that's a good question. I really like a Mounds. Oh.
214
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.250
And I know that I'm in the minority. A lot
215
00:09:52.250 --> 00:09:55.100
of people don't like coconut. I love coconut.
216
00:09:55.100 --> 00:09:56.159
Yeah, I'm with you.
217
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.419
And I like I like a mounds. That's my go-to.
218
00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:01.940
I love that. Well, until next time.
219
00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:06.899
Thanks so much, you guys. Okay.
220
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.799
So I just, I follow you on Instagram, obviously. And
221
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.570
you just got back from like a whirlwind trip. Like,
222
00:10:13.590 --> 00:10:14.210
where did you go?
223
00:10:14.230 --> 00:10:14.610
Yes.
224
00:10:15.009 --> 00:10:17.750
I went to France. I went for two weeks. I
225
00:10:17.789 --> 00:10:21.919
went by myself. And I.
226
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.210
Don't even know how many years I've wanted to do
227
00:10:26.230 --> 00:10:29.490
a French immersion program, like where you stay with somebody.
228
00:10:29.509 --> 00:10:30.730
When I was in high school a.
229
00:10:32.529 --> 00:10:34.929
Million years ago, I was an exchange student to Brazil
230
00:10:34.950 --> 00:10:36.070
and I loved it.
231
00:10:36.690 --> 00:10:37.850
I don't speak Portuguese anymore.
232
00:10:37.889 --> 00:10:40.330
But anyway, so I went and I did this and
233
00:10:40.389 --> 00:10:43.009
I stayed at a town that's about three hours outside
234
00:10:43.029 --> 00:10:43.570
of Paris.
235
00:10:44.049 --> 00:10:46.769
I stayed with the family. I had lessons in the morning.
236
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.139
And then I went back to Paris and acted like
237
00:10:51.179 --> 00:10:52.360
a native, like I lived there.
238
00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:53.559
So that's what I did.
239
00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:55.919
I really wanted to do it. I wanted to do
240
00:10:55.990 --> 00:10:59.470
it forever. And so I was like, I'm going to
241
00:10:59.509 --> 00:11:02.269
do this. And if I miss auditions, I miss auditions.
242
00:11:02.450 --> 00:11:02.990
Good for you.
243
00:11:03.029 --> 00:11:05.470
That's awesome. We all need to kind of live that life.
244
00:11:05.509 --> 00:11:07.409
Like if we want to do something, just make sure
245
00:11:07.429 --> 00:11:08.850
it happens. Like that's awesome.
246
00:11:08.889 --> 00:11:10.490
Well, like you were talking about going to that Spice
247
00:11:10.509 --> 00:11:12.769
Girls show alone. I find it so freeing to do
248
00:11:12.789 --> 00:11:15.559
things alone now that I'm like, getting older and like,
249
00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:16.899
I like to leave work early and go to the
250
00:11:16.940 --> 00:11:18.820
movies a bunch because then I don't have to worry
251
00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:20.820
about like timing with anybody. I can sit where I
252
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:21.220
want to sit.
253
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.019
I love going to the movies by myself. I love it.
254
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.100
During the day when there's nobody there, you're like, this
255
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:27.159
whole screen's for me.
256
00:11:27.179 --> 00:11:30.639
Yeah. It's so, it's, it's like a little piece of heaven.
257
00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:33.450
I really enjoy doing things alone. I know a lot
258
00:11:33.470 --> 00:11:37.029
of people who don't, but, um, I really like it. Yeah.
259
00:11:37.129 --> 00:11:37.669
It suits me.
260
00:11:37.830 --> 00:11:39.549
Until I started doing it, I didn't think I would
261
00:11:39.590 --> 00:11:41.750
enjoy it, but now I kind of prefer it. I'm
262
00:11:41.769 --> 00:11:43.720
always like, With my daughters, I'm like, oh, you guys
263
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.580
have school, huh? Shit, my bad. All right, well, have fun.
264
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:51.379
It's so great being an adult. All right. How did
265
00:11:51.419 --> 00:11:53.779
you get started in comedy and acting?
266
00:11:56.419 --> 00:11:59.320
Let's see. So I did go to college. I have
267
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.690
a degree in theater. And prior to that, when I
268
00:12:02.710 --> 00:12:05.929
was in high school, I did some drama. Initially, I
269
00:12:05.970 --> 00:12:09.850
was in the orchestra and I played the violin. And
270
00:12:09.889 --> 00:12:15.370
then this is so boring, but like one semester drama
271
00:12:15.450 --> 00:12:18.809
and orchestra were then at the same period, the same hour.
272
00:12:18.990 --> 00:12:21.000
And I had to make a big decision.
273
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.220
Like I remember, I mean, now it seems so silly,
274
00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:26.360
but at the time it was like a really big deal.
275
00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:30.840
And I chose drama and I had to go tell
276
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.330
the orchestra teacher that I was leaving. It was really
277
00:12:33.350 --> 00:12:36.539
kind of, I don't know. I mean, it's obviously fine now.
278
00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:39.840
But so then that's how I got started was in
279
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.990
high school. I did theater. And then in college, I
280
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.509
went to the University of Texas at Austin. I got
281
00:12:46.789 --> 00:12:50.049
a degree in theater there. And then I moved to
282
00:12:50.110 --> 00:12:54.009
Chicago after college and I took classes at Second City.
283
00:12:54.289 --> 00:12:56.450
And I would say that's. You knew that.
284
00:12:56.830 --> 00:12:58.750
No, but we were talking about it right before here.
285
00:12:59.029 --> 00:13:00.990
And I was like, she's so funny. I guarantee there's
286
00:13:01.029 --> 00:13:01.809
improv in the background.
287
00:13:01.850 --> 00:13:03.210
And I said Second City. Yep.
288
00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:03.889
That's crazy.
289
00:13:05.190 --> 00:13:08.850
So I took classes at Second City and I auditioned
290
00:13:09.169 --> 00:13:11.590
to be a part of Second City twice and I
291
00:13:11.629 --> 00:13:13.549
didn't move on.
292
00:13:14.529 --> 00:13:16.750
And I remember that also was a real.
293
00:13:16.590 --> 00:13:19.360
Heartbreak for me. And then now I'm like, oh, it's fine.
294
00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:24.370
And then when I moved here, then I after a
295
00:13:24.389 --> 00:13:26.110
certain period of time, I was doing more improv at
296
00:13:26.129 --> 00:13:27.350
a place called Improv Olympic.
297
00:13:27.490 --> 00:13:27.769
Oh, sure.
298
00:13:27.850 --> 00:13:31.950
Which, uh, Iowa West, which doesn't exist out here anymore
299
00:13:32.009 --> 00:13:32.549
in Los Angeles.
300
00:13:32.590 --> 00:13:34.840
I think it's still in Chicago, but yes, a lot
301
00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:36.259
of improv, a ton of improv.
302
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:36.899
That's awesome.
303
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:37.159
Yeah.
304
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.559
Well then let me kind of go onto that question too. Uh,
305
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:41.940
cause it seems like you do a lot of comedy roles,
306
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.299
comedic roles. Was there one specific part when you're like
307
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.240
a kid to where you're like, Hey, I can make
308
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.230
people laugh and I enjoy doing this. Do you remember
309
00:13:49.259 --> 00:13:51.549
like one specific thing or was it maybe you just
310
00:13:51.570 --> 00:13:52.590
hanging out with friends or?
311
00:13:53.409 --> 00:13:57.429
Yeah. I remember when I was in fifth grade, we
312
00:13:57.490 --> 00:14:00.950
did a play about Abraham Lincoln, an original play about
313
00:14:01.009 --> 00:14:01.710
Abraham Lincoln.
314
00:14:01.730 --> 00:14:03.669
I'm sure it was riveting.
315
00:14:04.190 --> 00:14:07.929
I'm sure the fifth graders wrote a great play. But
316
00:14:07.970 --> 00:14:10.570
I was playing this part, you know, I don't, it
317
00:14:10.590 --> 00:14:15.860
was about like, like starvation. It must have been fiction,
318
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.019
but it was like the girl who wrote to him
319
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:19.299
and asked him to grow a beard.
320
00:14:19.330 --> 00:14:21.470
It doesn't.
321
00:14:21.490 --> 00:14:21.679
What?
322
00:14:23.230 --> 00:14:23.750
What is this?
323
00:14:24.470 --> 00:14:25.990
I want to see that play so bad.
324
00:14:27.529 --> 00:14:29.610
It was probably like 15 minutes and we thought it
325
00:14:29.649 --> 00:14:34.169
was like three hours. Anyway, I remember performing.
326
00:14:34.710 --> 00:14:35.850
My character's name was Grace.
327
00:14:36.809 --> 00:14:40.889
And none of these other Yahoo fifth graders knew their lines,
328
00:14:41.009 --> 00:14:42.870
but I knew everybody's lines.
329
00:14:42.929 --> 00:14:43.730
And so I remember.
330
00:14:44.570 --> 00:14:48.330
performing saying my line with you know gusto and then
331
00:14:48.350 --> 00:14:50.990
there would be a silence and then i would lean
332
00:14:51.090 --> 00:14:52.990
over to somebody and tell them their line and then
333
00:14:53.029 --> 00:14:55.509
of course all the parents would start laughing and then
334
00:14:55.570 --> 00:15:00.049
the then you know the person whoever the guy playing
335
00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:05.600
abraham lincoln who would did not have it together. Like,
336
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.639
I'm like, dude, this is, you're not being professional. Would
337
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.539
say his line. And then there would, I would say
338
00:15:11.580 --> 00:15:13.860
my line immediately. And then there would be a pause.
339
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:17.519
And then I'd lean over to whoever else was, you know, nervous.
340
00:15:18.250 --> 00:15:20.409
I didn't have time for nerves at that point. But anyway,
341
00:15:20.429 --> 00:15:22.610
I got a lot of laughs. And I would say
342
00:15:22.649 --> 00:15:25.269
that that was, even though I thought I was being
343
00:15:25.309 --> 00:15:29.110
really professional, I think that those laughs really did something
344
00:15:29.149 --> 00:15:29.409
to me.
345
00:15:29.669 --> 00:15:30.190
Oh, that's awesome.
346
00:15:30.210 --> 00:15:30.309
Yeah.
347
00:15:30.330 --> 00:15:31.730
You got, you felt that rush and everything.
348
00:15:31.769 --> 00:15:31.889
Yeah.
349
00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:35.899
I was like, I have this audience in the palm
350
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:36.600
of my hand.
351
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.779
I just love to think like Abraham Lincoln had a B-O'd.
352
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:45.980
That was like a whole monologue. It was a big monologue.
353
00:15:46.110 --> 00:15:49.129
Heroes that you had. I realized when I was a
354
00:15:49.149 --> 00:15:52.169
teenager that a lot of my mannerisms are like Chevy Chase-isms,
355
00:15:52.250 --> 00:15:53.830
I call it, with my hands. And I didn't even
356
00:15:53.929 --> 00:15:56.990
realize that until I was older. Were there any comedic
357
00:15:57.029 --> 00:15:58.450
heroes that you loved growing up?
358
00:16:00.429 --> 00:16:01.100
Let's see here.
359
00:16:01.909 --> 00:16:08.279
Um, I, that's such a good question. I, um, grew
360
00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:13.179
to really appreciate Elaine May, um, like Nichols and May, uh,
361
00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:16.059
but they only, they had recordings that we would listen
362
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:20.570
to or I would listen to, but I loved, I mean,
363
00:16:20.590 --> 00:16:24.629
a lot of my heroes were, were, um, men, I guess,
364
00:16:24.649 --> 00:16:26.350
cause that's kind of was doing comedy.
365
00:16:26.549 --> 00:16:30.029
Although I love Terry Garr. Have you guys seen Tootsie?
366
00:16:30.429 --> 00:16:33.169
Yeah. Yeah. for sure oh my god she's.
367
00:16:32.970 --> 00:16:36.789
So good anyway but i loved michael j fox oh
368
00:16:36.830 --> 00:16:42.409
yeah yeah and um i loved bruce willis and um
369
00:16:42.850 --> 00:16:45.019
like before he became an action hero he was like
370
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.600
a comedy dude and then um who else did i
371
00:16:48.659 --> 00:16:51.799
really love and i loved jason bateman he was like
372
00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:54.799
my crush he was on like silver spoons with a
373
00:16:54.840 --> 00:17:00.350
ricky schroeder and um who else did i love um.
374
00:17:01.230 --> 00:17:02.850
And then I really love Gene Kelly.
375
00:17:03.690 --> 00:17:04.430
Oh, sure.
376
00:17:04.450 --> 00:17:05.609
A little bit older.
377
00:17:05.630 --> 00:17:06.430
I love Gene Kelly.
378
00:17:06.450 --> 00:17:07.210
Then Michael J.
379
00:17:08.650 --> 00:17:11.210
If you watch his movies, like, I try to watch
380
00:17:11.230 --> 00:17:13.170
them every, like, five or ten years. There's all these, like,
381
00:17:13.210 --> 00:17:16.490
little subtle things that you don't get. I don't know. Like,
382
00:17:16.569 --> 00:17:18.150
I just, yeah. Hilarious.
383
00:17:18.210 --> 00:17:18.750
Great. I love him.
384
00:17:18.769 --> 00:17:19.450
Yeah.
385
00:17:19.930 --> 00:17:22.670
He's, like, timeless.
386
00:17:22.910 --> 00:17:23.210
Mm-hmm.
387
00:17:23.410 --> 00:17:23.549
Yep.
388
00:17:23.750 --> 00:17:24.589
Absolutely timeless.
389
00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:25.089
Yeah.
390
00:17:26.019 --> 00:17:28.160
That's great. Yeah, no, I love Young Frankenstein and everything,
391
00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:29.460
so great choices, but yeah.
392
00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:30.339
Well, thank you.
393
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:39.140
I want to jump to Superstore. Okay. So, I have questions,
394
00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:41.039
but I just wanted to tell, and I'm sure you
395
00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:43.500
get a lot of feedback of Superstore, because it has
396
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.269
such a following, especially, like, after it's wrapped, it has
397
00:17:47.289 --> 00:17:49.769
a very cult following, I notice, on all the social
398
00:17:49.809 --> 00:17:56.059
medias that people are still talking about. Very plot slight
399
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.339
plot details but like this i just want to tell
400
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:00.119
you because it's my first time actually speaking to a
401
00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:03.720
star of it is that that show got i think
402
00:18:03.789 --> 00:18:06.589
so many of us especially me as well through like
403
00:18:06.690 --> 00:18:10.630
covid times um that was such a and then my
404
00:18:10.750 --> 00:18:13.569
spouse was going through transplant like it was such a
405
00:18:13.650 --> 00:18:16.740
comic relief in my life during that time because immune
406
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.329
suppressancy you know then we were even taking it more seriously.
407
00:18:20.410 --> 00:18:23.750
So having Superstore as an outlet, and now it's still
408
00:18:24.210 --> 00:18:27.039
like a comfort blanket to me. Like when I'm feeling anxious,
409
00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:32.880
I'll throw it on. I identified with Carol a lot.
410
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.119
Well, thank you.
411
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:36.960
First of all, I want to say thank you for
412
00:18:37.009 --> 00:18:41.470
saying that about the show. Because, I mean, I can
413
00:18:41.509 --> 00:18:44.430
only speak for myself, but I think while we were
414
00:18:44.509 --> 00:18:46.599
doing it, like, I want to agree with you that
415
00:18:46.660 --> 00:18:49.059
I think that it's actually become more popular since it's
416
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.210
gone off the air because while we were doing it,
417
00:18:52.849 --> 00:18:58.549
I did not feel that same level of appreciation. And again,
418
00:18:58.609 --> 00:19:00.819
I can only speak for myself, but like, I would
419
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:02.559
say when I'm working on this show, it's on NBC,
420
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.240
it's called Superstorm. People were like, what?
421
00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:05.299
When?
422
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:07.940
I'm like, it's on Thursday nights. They're like, oh, I don't,
423
00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:11.630
I don't, I don't watch TV. And it's like, OK, well, anyway, bye.
424
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:12.359
Yeah.
425
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.299
So but I've I have heard from other people that
426
00:19:15.339 --> 00:19:17.500
it's become a comfort show. What is it about it
427
00:19:17.660 --> 00:19:18.000
for you?
428
00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:21.819
I think it's the cast like all there's no weak
429
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.069
links on that cast at all. The irreverent kind of humor.
430
00:19:26.250 --> 00:19:29.390
I just love so much. It's it's not. Yes, there's
431
00:19:29.410 --> 00:19:32.289
storylines that go throughout the season or throughout the show.
432
00:19:32.710 --> 00:19:36.170
But it's not one where– I can watch season– so
433
00:19:36.210 --> 00:19:39.000
when I– sorry, sidebar. When I say I identify with Carol,
434
00:19:39.099 --> 00:19:43.140
it's definitely not her, like, vindictive nature. But it's more
435
00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:45.910
like her her dry her your your timing is just
436
00:19:46.230 --> 00:19:49.700
effortless like on the show to be loved yeah and.
437
00:19:49.660 --> 00:19:52.000
She that's all she just wants to be loved.
438
00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:56.759
And she wants uh uh peppermint not um not candy
439
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.980
cane uh vape Juice. Anyways.
440
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.519
Sorry.
441
00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:03.430
When she vapes and it's off screen, but you can
442
00:20:03.450 --> 00:20:04.470
see the vape coming.
443
00:20:04.549 --> 00:20:04.940
I love it.
444
00:20:05.150 --> 00:20:05.369
Okay.
445
00:20:05.809 --> 00:20:07.829
I was going to say, too, the great thing about
446
00:20:07.869 --> 00:20:10.210
that show, I also feel like, is I think if
447
00:20:10.230 --> 00:20:12.890
you look at any show in history, like the big ones,
448
00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:15.569
it's all kind of like family. And even though they're
449
00:20:15.589 --> 00:20:18.920
not related, Superstore is still a family. And every character
450
00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:20.920
you can kind of relate with. So that's why I
451
00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:21.599
like Superstore.
452
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:24.440
Before we got on with you tonight, I was saying, like,
453
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:29.039
Andy's a total Garrett character. Um, like, like he's the most,
454
00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:31.680
he's so fun and like a little nerdy with some
455
00:20:31.700 --> 00:20:33.259
of the, you know, video games and stuff, but he's
456
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:35.519
like the only scene person in most rooms.
457
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:36.579
Right.
458
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:37.759
And that's the voice of reason.
459
00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:37.980
Yeah.
460
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.150
And that's how Garrett is. And then I'm thinking that
461
00:20:40.190 --> 00:20:43.130
I'm probably, I'm going to say a mix of Glenn
462
00:20:43.170 --> 00:20:43.769
and Justine.
463
00:20:44.829 --> 00:20:46.009
Great.
464
00:20:46.349 --> 00:20:50.609
But my fashion icon again is you brought back the
465
00:20:50.690 --> 00:20:55.730
juicy tracksuit. How did that go behind the scenes? Was
466
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.039
that your idea or was that the design?
467
00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:59.359
No, it was theirs.
468
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:03.299
And I have the blue one. I ended up wearing three,
469
00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:07.220
but I think one got... I had a green one,
470
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:09.640
a blue one, and a pink one. And I think
471
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:13.039
one of them got cut. I can't remember exactly. Um,
472
00:21:13.170 --> 00:21:16.099
but I, I have the blue one. I fear it
473
00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:19.500
doesn't fit me anymore, but, um, yeah, they were like,
474
00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:22.640
we want to make Carol that like, she has all
475
00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:24.500
this money or she thinks she's going to come into
476
00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:25.160
money because.
477
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:26.000
Of this lawsuit.
478
00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:26.700
Yeah.
479
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:31.220
And she doesn't like, she's just behind. Like she doesn't,
480
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.819
she doesn't, she's like, Oh, I have money. And it's,
481
00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:37.039
I'm going to wear this thing that's 15 years old.
482
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:39.480
So they were like, are you OK with that? And
483
00:21:39.500 --> 00:21:40.380
I was like, of course I.
484
00:21:40.380 --> 00:21:40.869
Will wear it.
485
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.849
You're paying me. I will wear anything you want me
486
00:21:43.869 --> 00:21:44.369
to wear.
487
00:21:44.589 --> 00:21:45.730
Like, honest to.
488
00:21:45.710 --> 00:21:46.529
God, I will.
489
00:21:46.809 --> 00:21:48.289
It's no problem.
490
00:21:48.690 --> 00:21:50.829
Are you on? Are you on TikTok? Do you get
491
00:21:50.869 --> 00:21:52.289
on TikTok and scroll ever?
492
00:21:52.309 --> 00:21:54.769
I am not on TikTok.
493
00:21:54.890 --> 00:21:59.089
OK, so there are so many people that post scenes
494
00:21:59.410 --> 00:22:02.690
of Superstore and one that they post a lot of
495
00:22:02.950 --> 00:22:06.000
is the icon. i'm gonna blush talking about it it's
496
00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:09.599
like the scene between you and jerry when you're um
497
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:10.720
or did we freeze.
498
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.720
Oh hello oh what oh we did oh there we

00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:23.160
that staring contest yeah no there's a on tiktok there's
502
00:22:23.259 --> 00:22:23.799
a lot of.
503
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:29.140
There's a lot of um people posting the um iconic
504
00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:33.160
scene between you and jerry when um you i can't
505
00:22:33.180 --> 00:22:34.460
look at me i say this okay where i lift
506
00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:38.099
my shirt yes so that it says um that you
507
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.009
should have won the like an emmy for this uh
508
00:22:41.369 --> 00:22:47.250
that character how did that like i don't question i'm
509
00:22:47.269 --> 00:22:51.619
trying to ask is uh like how how did the
510
00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:53.960
writing happen with your character i guess is that a
511
00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:56.859
question i'm trying to ask is like how did they
512
00:22:56.900 --> 00:23:01.109
decide to bring you from having a shellfish allergy to
513
00:23:01.150 --> 00:23:03.000
like where you ended up.
514
00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:12.000
So it's it's funny um the uh the woman who
515
00:23:12.099 --> 00:23:16.220
wrote the episode called so there was a huge change
516
00:23:16.369 --> 00:23:18.890
all of a sudden with this episode called uh ladies
517
00:23:18.930 --> 00:23:24.170
lunch and um that's the one where they like have
518
00:23:24.190 --> 00:23:26.369
me on the phone for the first time talking to
519
00:23:27.990 --> 00:23:31.569
Amy's husband, like they have me. And I remember going
520
00:23:31.609 --> 00:23:34.849
to the table read and being like, what's happening here?
521
00:23:35.069 --> 00:23:36.430
Like, where, where is this?
522
00:23:37.269 --> 00:23:41.410
We have leapt and it was phenomenal. So I don't
523
00:23:41.490 --> 00:23:44.799
really know. I think they must've been like, let's see
524
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:46.740
if she can do this. And then I was like, yep,
525
00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:47.480
I can do that.
526
00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:48.160
Let's do that.
527
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.980
And so they just kind of kept pushing it. And then, like,
528
00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:53.690
I had that HPV line.
529
00:23:53.710 --> 00:23:55.190
And then.
530
00:23:55.210 --> 00:23:56.250
Oh, my gosh.
531
00:23:56.329 --> 00:23:57.369
Yeah, some of your lines.
532
00:23:57.650 --> 00:23:58.089
Enjoy my.
533
00:23:58.950 --> 00:23:59.470
Yeah, enjoy.
534
00:23:59.490 --> 00:24:00.549
Enjoy my HPV.
535
00:24:02.329 --> 00:24:06.200
She's a redhead, so safe to say she's the nastiest
536
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.180
freak in the world. Hey, Jerry, I'm calling to let
537
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:13.019
you know that you probably should get tested. There were, like,
538
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:15.460
ten guys here that say Sandra gave them her.
539
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:18.309
Yes, there's that one, yes.
540
00:24:18.369 --> 00:24:20.670
And the actress, like, I was just talking to Andy, she's...
541
00:24:21.369 --> 00:24:24.490
Every interview I've seen her in, she's like the sweetest.
542
00:24:24.670 --> 00:24:27.089
Sandra is the sweetest character ever, too.
543
00:24:27.769 --> 00:24:30.769
She's one of my closest friends. I was just texting
544
00:24:30.789 --> 00:24:31.630
with her before this.
545
00:24:31.809 --> 00:24:32.450
Oh, my gosh.
546
00:24:32.490 --> 00:24:32.930
Coleco.
547
00:24:33.230 --> 00:24:36.829
Oh, Coleco. But definitely put in a good word for
548
00:24:36.930 --> 00:24:39.089
us so she can join us sometime. I will. If
549
00:24:39.130 --> 00:24:39.710
you wouldn't mind.
550
00:24:39.789 --> 00:24:39.990
I will.
551
00:24:40.410 --> 00:24:42.789
But, oh, my gosh. And I also see them. Okay,
552
00:24:42.809 --> 00:24:47.509
this is for the super fans of Superstore. But I see...
553
00:24:48.269 --> 00:24:51.250
you all comment on each other's posts all the time.
554
00:24:51.670 --> 00:24:53.589
And I like, I love that. Like, I love that
555
00:24:53.710 --> 00:24:57.529
everybody's so supportive. Like Kelly, you know, like everybody is
556
00:24:57.569 --> 00:25:00.230
like really, you guys seem to really care about each other.
557
00:25:00.269 --> 00:25:00.930
That's awesome.
558
00:25:01.390 --> 00:25:04.069
You know, I'll tell you, I, so I've never been
559
00:25:04.130 --> 00:25:06.190
on a show. This was my first experience being on
560
00:25:06.230 --> 00:25:09.109
a show for that long or doing that many episodes.
561
00:25:09.329 --> 00:25:10.950
I hope I get that opportunity again.
562
00:25:10.990 --> 00:25:15.190
We'll see. But we really liked each other. Yeah.
563
00:25:15.329 --> 00:25:20.309
Like, like genuinely, we really, or do still like each other.
564
00:25:20.349 --> 00:25:22.009
It's not, you know, past tense.
565
00:25:23.130 --> 00:25:27.009
The last time we were all together, I think America
566
00:25:27.069 --> 00:25:30.309
couldn't make it, but we went to Nico's wedding. Yeah.
567
00:25:30.670 --> 00:25:33.599
So that was actually almost two years ago. I think,
568
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:35.599
and I think, and there've been other kinds of small
569
00:25:35.700 --> 00:25:41.990
permutations of people getting together. But yeah, it's, it's, I
570
00:25:42.019 --> 00:25:44.819
guess it's rare. And I'm, I'm, I'm happy that I
571
00:25:45.140 --> 00:25:45.980
had that experience.
572
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:48.940
I promise you, I'm not like an obsessed fan, like,
573
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:51.549
like in a bad way, but I did see Aniko
574
00:25:51.609 --> 00:25:56.289
perform stand up. He is so good at stand up.
575
00:25:56.309 --> 00:25:56.789
He's so good.
576
00:25:56.950 --> 00:26:00.079
And also his like, one of America's sweethearts is his husband.
577
00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:00.619
Zeke, like.
578
00:26:01.710 --> 00:26:03.650
Zeke is fabulous.
579
00:26:03.109 --> 00:26:05.890
Yeah I fell in love with him on Survivor and
580
00:26:05.930 --> 00:26:08.700
I just was like but when I met Nico after
581
00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:11.400
stand up I was like I'm old school when I
582
00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:14.940
meet like celebrities I look up to like people I
583
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:17.480
just look up to in like creative arts so I
584
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:20.400
like needed an autograph so I like opened my shirt
585
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:21.789
and had him sign my.
586
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.150
T-shirt and I don't think he loved it he did
587
00:26:25.250 --> 00:26:28.210
he was he was very much a fan of my
588
00:26:28.269 --> 00:26:30.509
behavior but good yeah.
589
00:26:30.329 --> 00:26:35.289
Yes I run into Nico at the CVS. We live
590
00:26:35.329 --> 00:26:36.049
in the same neighborhood.
591
00:26:36.390 --> 00:26:38.490
So I'll be like, hey, how's your dog?
592
00:26:39.450 --> 00:26:42.609
That's awesome. He's an icon too, for sure.
593
00:26:42.630 --> 00:26:45.819
Yeah, he's absolute phenomenal. He's wonderful.
594
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:49.279
Well, since we confirmed the improv background, which we kind
595
00:26:49.299 --> 00:26:53.220
of assumed. So I'm like, I don't know. When I
596
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:56.960
grew up, I loved Kids in the Hall. And being
597
00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:59.279
improv background, I bet like working with Mark was probably
598
00:26:59.299 --> 00:27:02.210
just kind of like, If it were me, I would
599
00:27:02.230 --> 00:27:04.269
have like been like, Oh, like, you know, like how
600
00:27:04.289 --> 00:27:06.660
was that? Like I just, any, anything.
601
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:09.839
Speaking of kids in the hall.
602
00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:14.680
So I'm friends with Bruce McCullough and I was in
603
00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:18.160
a live show with Bruce at the San Francisco sketch
604
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.009
fest in like 2007, the same year I went to
605
00:27:21.309 --> 00:27:24.849
see the Spice Girls. It was a big year for me. And,
606
00:27:25.150 --> 00:27:28.789
and so I've known Bruce for a long time. I've
607
00:27:28.890 --> 00:27:32.779
met all of them. Um, I, I know Scott sort
608
00:27:32.819 --> 00:27:35.119
of well, Dave Foley I've met and he was on
609
00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:37.539
Superstore too. And then Kevin, I know the least I
610
00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:41.529
would say. Um, but, uh, so I had already met
611
00:27:41.609 --> 00:27:44.049
Mark through Bruce.
612
00:27:44.890 --> 00:27:47.049
Um, but then, but.
613
00:27:47.029 --> 00:27:52.509
Yes, it is like, they're so good, you know, and,
614
00:27:52.710 --> 00:27:57.130
and they're just, they're, they're, they're just so good.
615
00:27:58.309 --> 00:27:59.329
When I was a little kid, I used to do
616
00:27:59.349 --> 00:28:00.630
the crush your head thing when I was like in
617
00:28:00.650 --> 00:28:02.779
elementary school. And I don't think any other kids knew
618
00:28:02.819 --> 00:28:04.839
what I was doing, but I was like, they're just
619
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.980
not cool enough. They don't know what I'm like, you know,
620
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:08.880
like I was like between that and Conan, I thought
621
00:28:08.900 --> 00:28:10.440
I was like the coolest little kid around.
622
00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:13.029
So the Dave Foley one is he's on one of
623
00:28:13.049 --> 00:28:15.609
the last episodes, any second to last episode. And he
624
00:28:15.690 --> 00:28:18.900
plays like the son of the owner of, I think
625
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:20.430
the son of the owner of the Cloud Nine.
626
00:28:20.490 --> 00:28:23.190
Who comes to, like, buy it out or something, right?
627
00:28:23.230 --> 00:28:26.509
And at the end of it, he starts eating unprovoked
628
00:28:26.710 --> 00:28:31.380
dog food. And, like, it's so... Oh, yes! It's so ridiculous. And, like,
629
00:28:31.490 --> 00:28:33.980
everyone's reaction, especially, I'm just basing it on her name,
630
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:35.880
the actress who plays Cheyenne.
631
00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.200
Yes.
632
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:37.980
Oh, my gosh.
633
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:38.359
Nicole.
634
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.500
Yeah, Nicole. Her character arc is so amazing, too, on
635
00:28:42.140 --> 00:28:42.619
the show.
636
00:28:43.650 --> 00:28:44.009
Agreed.
637
00:28:44.930 --> 00:28:46.970
And I was so bummed that, like, there was talks
638
00:28:47.009 --> 00:28:49.990
about a spinoff between– There was. Yeah.
639
00:28:50.049 --> 00:28:51.829
I don't know how far that got.
640
00:28:52.150 --> 00:28:54.690
I don't know if they– I don't think they filmed it.
641
00:28:55.130 --> 00:28:57.259
I don't really know anything about that. We did know
642
00:28:57.299 --> 00:28:58.200
about it, but, yeah.
643
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:01.180
So I recently– last year I got a Stanley for
644
00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:03.059
the first time, so I drink a lot of water,
645
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:05.740
and I also– with that, I manifest– so what i'm
646
00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:09.559
manifesting is we as the loyal fans of superstore are
647
00:29:09.579 --> 00:29:12.539
going to manifest a like either like a reboot not
648
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:14.799
maybe not a re i really love a reboot but
649
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.480
even like a like a hour-long special and they are
650
00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:21.029
something's going on like we catch up with you know
651
00:29:21.069 --> 00:29:23.990
all all the gang but and they have to come
652
00:29:24.029 --> 00:29:26.990
together for some reason like i don't know what it
653
00:29:27.049 --> 00:29:29.619
would be like uh Monster truck show or something.
654
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:30.000
Yeah.
655
00:29:30.099 --> 00:29:31.380
Or like, I don't know.
656
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:31.839
Yeah.
657
00:29:31.940 --> 00:29:33.279
Or we can take it to like, you know, when
658
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:35.829
Friday the 13th went into outer space, we can add
659
00:29:35.890 --> 00:29:38.589
like a mystical. We need to manifest something. I'm not
660
00:29:38.630 --> 00:29:39.950
the writer. I'm just the manifester.
661
00:29:40.690 --> 00:29:43.369
I'm available. Yeah. I'm available for that.
662
00:29:43.890 --> 00:29:44.109
Yes.
663
00:29:44.289 --> 00:29:45.079
Totally available.
664
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:46.380
What do you know?
665
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:50.200
There is a there's a Mexican version of the show.
666
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.559
Oh, really?
667
00:29:51.579 --> 00:29:52.539
I had no idea.
668
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:53.119
Yeah.
669
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:53.440
Yeah.
670
00:29:53.460 --> 00:29:55.579
There are counterparts to all of your characters.
671
00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:56.299
Yes.
672
00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:57.440
I've never seen it.
673
00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:58.549
I got somebody told me.
674
00:29:59.289 --> 00:30:01.109
Find it. It's like a telenovela.
675
00:30:01.589 --> 00:30:02.029
Oh, I love that.
676
00:30:02.089 --> 00:30:04.369
I may be telling you the exact wrong thing, but
677
00:30:04.410 --> 00:30:07.960
basically the format. And then I think there's it's going
678
00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:11.940
to be like in some other country, too. They're doing.
679
00:30:14.019 --> 00:30:17.920
And I think the Mexican one is I think it's
680
00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:20.039
an hour. I haven't you can find it.
681
00:30:20.380 --> 00:30:22.089
Let me know. I will because I haven't been able
682
00:30:22.109 --> 00:30:22.480
to find it.
683
00:30:22.549 --> 00:30:25.210
But every little city even in here because we're in
684
00:30:25.309 --> 00:30:29.069
Oregon is getting a distribution center and Justine and Marcus
685
00:30:29.390 --> 00:30:31.930
and Dina all work at a distribution center. So I
686
00:30:31.990 --> 00:30:33.930
think that that could be what it is. It is
687
00:30:34.069 --> 00:30:37.170
Superstore takes place in a distribution center. And so many
688
00:30:37.210 --> 00:30:39.819
people were, okay, this is happening. I've green lit it.
689
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.160
I love it.
690
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:43.460
But what do you think your, what do you think
691
00:30:43.539 --> 00:30:45.039
Carol would be doing today?
692
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:52.170
Oh my gosh. Oh my God.
693
00:30:52.369 --> 00:30:54.730
What would Carol be doing today?
694
00:30:57.769 --> 00:30:59.210
Is it wrong for me to say she would have
695
00:30:59.250 --> 00:30:59.839
a podcast?
696
00:31:00.329 --> 00:31:01.589
Oh my God, no.
697
00:31:01.690 --> 00:31:02.490
Carol?
698
00:31:03.029 --> 00:31:04.450
Yeah, for sure.
699
00:31:04.509 --> 00:31:08.809
Podcast or podcast people are the worst. I don't know.
700
00:31:08.829 --> 00:31:10.369
I'm not really sure.
701
00:31:10.470 --> 00:31:16.279
But she, Carol just wants to be loved and really
702
00:31:16.339 --> 00:31:17.920
thinks she has some abilities.
703
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:19.680
I'm not saying it's a good podcast.
704
00:31:19.859 --> 00:31:20.140
No.
705
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:25.299
She takes a bunch of vape breaks and like Yes, exactly.
706
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:27.789
I don't know who she's interviewing or if she's just
707
00:31:27.849 --> 00:31:29.369
talking to everybody.
708
00:31:29.430 --> 00:31:33.299
Just like And they're too long. The episodes are like three,
709
00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.900
four hours.
710
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:35.029
Okay.
711
00:31:35.109 --> 00:31:38.049
So this is really for the diehards. And we won't
712
00:31:38.069 --> 00:31:40.849
keep you too long. So when there was the character
713
00:31:40.930 --> 00:31:44.990
arc of Carol, when she was very like metaphysical and spiritual,
714
00:31:45.150 --> 00:31:48.150
was she lying or was she really have an awakened
715
00:31:48.710 --> 00:31:51.339
like spiritual moment? And then she like, yeah.
716
00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:55.559
My belief is that she was faking.
717
00:31:55.819 --> 00:31:56.180
Yeah.
718
00:31:56.339 --> 00:31:57.160
That I was faking.
719
00:31:57.619 --> 00:32:00.059
Because she was trying to kill Sandra when she was
720
00:32:00.099 --> 00:32:01.140
taking her, okay.
721
00:32:01.500 --> 00:32:02.720
Yeah.
722
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:12.369
So I think, I think, yes. I can't believe I'm
723
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:15.450
having to ask this. How did that storyline end? How
724
00:32:15.470 --> 00:32:16.730
did I, was I revealed?
725
00:32:17.009 --> 00:32:17.630
What happened?
726
00:32:17.869 --> 00:32:21.349
When, oh, when she stops being kind of more metaphysical. Yes.
727
00:32:21.710 --> 00:32:23.869
I think it's the cat.
728
00:32:24.650 --> 00:32:25.210
The cat runs.
729
00:32:26.009 --> 00:32:34.990
Because you put laxatives at the bachelorette party, and then
730
00:32:35.009 --> 00:32:36.829
the next day at the wedding, you try to kill
731
00:32:36.849 --> 00:32:37.609
the cat. Yes. Okay.
732
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:43.119
And then I get electrocuted and I get sent away.
733
00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:44.410
Is that right?
734
00:32:44.450 --> 00:32:47.329
So, yeah, you go away after the attempted murder of
735
00:32:47.369 --> 00:32:51.130
the cat. And then you come back and Carol's back,
736
00:32:51.150 --> 00:32:53.940
which is literally that should have there should have been
737
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:55.519
an Emmy there. Just saying.
738
00:32:55.740 --> 00:32:57.500
Oh, that episode was called Carol.
739
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:04.329
Yeah. Yeah. And when you the. Um, very passive, aggressive
740
00:33:04.470 --> 00:33:07.200
hostility that care that you do for the, through the
741
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.880
character is so amazing. And just the effortless, like poor Sandro.
742
00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:14.339
for sandra okay i'm sorry i giggled because it's such
743
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.640
a funny show okay so she makes you uh like
744
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:19.680
muffins you're like i'm i full i'm full i ate
745
00:33:19.740 --> 00:33:22.529
and you just throw them effortlessly in the garbage yeah
746
00:33:23.509 --> 00:33:26.349
yes oh my gosh but yeah that was that was
747
00:33:26.430 --> 00:33:28.069
iconic and then i was so worried because i thought
748
00:33:28.089 --> 00:33:30.170
that that you were done at that point but then
749
00:33:30.190 --> 00:33:32.029
when you come back and you're ready to sue and
750
00:33:32.089 --> 00:33:35.109
it's like it's leveled up with the track suit and
751
00:33:35.150 --> 00:33:39.859
you're the humor is much more raunchy like the OK,
752
00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:41.839
I know you're working for Disney right now, so I
753
00:33:41.859 --> 00:33:42.779
don't know what we can say.
754
00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:43.480
That's OK.
755
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:43.980
OK.
756
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:44.660
We can say things.
757
00:33:44.819 --> 00:33:45.660
When you say.
758
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:47.880
Where am I going to masturbate?
759
00:33:47.900 --> 00:33:51.869
OK, so that one I died.
760
00:33:52.150 --> 00:33:52.910
But yes.
761
00:33:54.470 --> 00:33:57.109
And then when you say to the to your lawyer,
762
00:33:57.130 --> 00:34:01.779
did you get my email about which associates I think
763
00:34:01.819 --> 00:34:05.509
are uncircumcised? And then she's like, I don't know.
764
00:34:05.470 --> 00:34:06.150
How that helps.
765
00:34:06.210 --> 00:34:08.030
And you're like, you're the lawyer.
766
00:34:08.269 --> 00:34:08.909
Figure it out.
767
00:34:09.130 --> 00:34:10.409
And then you walk away.
768
00:34:10.530 --> 00:34:11.599
It's so good.
769
00:34:11.619 --> 00:34:14.480
And everything to, like, all the actors on the show.
770
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.000
Same thing. Even the walking. Like, you guys stay in
771
00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:21.099
character until you're, like, way off. Like, until you're completely off. Like,
772
00:34:21.260 --> 00:34:24.349
there's no. There's so much going on in the background.
773
00:34:24.389 --> 00:34:27.289
And you guys are acting no matter. Or, like, it's
774
00:34:27.309 --> 00:34:28.449
just effortless. The show.
775
00:34:29.260 --> 00:34:31.210
I just thought like, you know, it'd be a really
776
00:34:31.429 --> 00:34:32.389
fun thing to do.
777
00:34:32.409 --> 00:34:34.349
It looks effortless. I'm sure you guys, you know, put
778
00:34:34.369 --> 00:34:35.130
a lot of work into it.
779
00:34:35.489 --> 00:34:38.920
Write a Hallmark movie about Carol called Carol of the Bells.
780
00:34:39.219 --> 00:34:41.780
And it's a Christmas Hallmark movie of that character. That
781
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:42.409
would be so much fun.
782
00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:43.139
I like this.
783
00:34:43.389 --> 00:34:43.989
My fantasy.
784
00:34:44.030 --> 00:34:46.210
And it's got that scary Christmas song.
785
00:34:46.369 --> 00:34:46.489
Yeah.
786
00:34:49.289 --> 00:34:51.750

00:35:25.949 --> 00:35:28.369
Um, you are somebody. Thank you.
803
00:35:28.429 --> 00:35:29.699
Okay.
804
00:35:29.739 --> 00:35:32.659
Jeff is, he's been lying. He's been telling him that
805
00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:33.460
he's Oprah.
806
00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:35.639
Or I take my mask off and I'm a mayor.
807
00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:39.699
I'm America Ferreira. Um, I love America Ferreira. Forget that.
808
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:44.230
That's a superstar too. Oh my ugly Betty is amazing. Um, Okay,
809
00:35:44.510 --> 00:35:46.550
so I have to ask you this. So when it
810
00:35:47.170 --> 00:35:51.659
was before COVID, probably season three or four, it was
811
00:35:51.780 --> 00:35:55.860
after your character is more prominent. I went into Walmart
812
00:35:55.940 --> 00:35:58.260
and I just I always chit chat with everybody. And
813
00:35:58.280 --> 00:35:59.840
I was chit chatting with some of the employees who
814
00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:02.300
were gossiping about other employees. So I went over there
815
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:03.619
and I started like I want to know the tea
816
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:07.019
and I was like, do you guys watch Superstore? And
817
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.300
they were like, yeah. And I was like, okay, who's the,
818
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:11.239
who's the Carol? Who's the, you know, that kind of thing.
819
00:36:11.340 --> 00:36:13.780
And they had it already done.
820
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:14.440
They did.
821
00:36:14.460 --> 00:36:17.619
Yeah. They knew who like, who the straight laced, you know,
822
00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:20.739
perfectionist one was. They knew who like the slacker was.
823
00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:23.579
They knew every, like it was so, so have you
824
00:36:23.619 --> 00:36:26.079
gone into like a big box store and like, like
825
00:36:26.460 --> 00:36:29.139
been recognized and like talk to people there?
826
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:33.929
Um, I haven't done that specifically. I do occasionally still
827
00:36:33.949 --> 00:36:34.820
get recognized.
828
00:36:34.889 --> 00:36:34.989
Yeah.
829
00:36:35.739 --> 00:36:38.619
Um, but I haven't done it specifically in like a
830
00:36:38.659 --> 00:36:41.230
big box store. Have I?
831
00:36:43.590 --> 00:36:45.250
No, I don't think so. It happens to me more
832
00:36:45.269 --> 00:36:46.289
in the grocery.
833
00:36:45.929 --> 00:36:47.219
Store at night.
834
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:49.539
Which is a version of that.
835
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:51.760
Yeah, because you guys have the groceries in there. I
836
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.280
act like you guys actually work there.
837
00:36:56.190 --> 00:36:56.690
Oh, my gosh.
838
00:36:56.869 --> 00:37:01.710
I laugh so much at night. Superstore is my go-to.
839
00:37:01.849 --> 00:37:04.550
Sometimes I watch Golden Girls, but Golden Girls, they are
840
00:37:04.809 --> 00:37:07.360
so mean to each other, like, nonstop. So sometimes I
841
00:37:07.380 --> 00:37:12.059
have to, like, not watch that show. But, yeah, I'll, like,
842
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.559
laugh so much that I start, like... Nope. And then
843
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:16.219
I roll over.
844
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:18.260
You know what's funny? I'm sorry to interrupt.
845
00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:19.519
Oh, no, no, no. Interrupt.
846
00:37:20.860 --> 00:37:24.250
Interrupt. The show was so important to me that I
847
00:37:24.269 --> 00:37:27.710
have not gone back to watch it. And I especially
848
00:37:27.829 --> 00:37:31.650
cannot watch the episodes, like the COVID episodes. And people
849
00:37:31.670 --> 00:37:34.369
will ask me questions about filming then. And I'm like,
850
00:37:35.489 --> 00:37:39.469
I don't know. I'm like, oh yeah, we're getting tested.
851
00:37:39.570 --> 00:37:43.829
It was just such a heightened time and I'm glad
852
00:37:43.869 --> 00:37:45.610
we did it and I think that it was important
853
00:37:45.630 --> 00:37:48.079
but it was so and then the show was ending
854
00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:55.039
and it was like that season was just it's I
855
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:57.139
like I don't I should go back and watch it
856
00:37:57.179 --> 00:37:59.570
at some point but it was just such a weird
857
00:38:00.449 --> 00:38:03.989
time yeah and like sad and weird I mean for
858
00:38:04.030 --> 00:38:07.389
everybody so I was lucky to be working yeah um
859
00:38:08.150 --> 00:38:09.860
but people will ask me they're like oh do you
860
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:12.119
remember the episode I'm like I don't remember that season
861
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:12.599
at all.
862
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:14.900
It was that time was a blur for me but
863
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:16.559
I can't imagine because you guys were one of the
864
00:38:16.699 --> 00:38:20.389
only shows at that time that were like every like
865
00:38:20.409 --> 00:38:22.030
the place we all had to go was the grocery
866
00:38:22.070 --> 00:38:24.849
store So we all were going through what you guys
867
00:38:24.889 --> 00:38:27.469
were going through. And the fact that you guys made
868
00:38:27.489 --> 00:38:29.929
it humorous. And then just the stuff that, not to
869
00:38:29.949 --> 00:38:32.239
go back to like my, no, this is icon worship.
870
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:34.940
So it's fine. The stuff that you guys touch on
871
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:39.300
with humor, like you guys talk about race, sexual orientation. Yeah.
872
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:40.800
Immigration.
873
00:38:40.820 --> 00:38:42.599
Oh, my God.
874
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:46.179
Okay. That episode was the– like, I cry every time.
875
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:47.369
I can't watch it.
876
00:38:47.619 --> 00:38:48.329
I can't watch it.
877
00:38:48.460 --> 00:38:48.679
No.
878
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:50.280
And the– oh, my God. That's going to make me
879
00:38:50.300 --> 00:38:53.590
verklempt right now. Yeah. It's an important episode that everyone
880
00:38:53.619 --> 00:38:56.909
should watch at some point that maybe– but that was hard. Wow.
881
00:38:57.300 --> 00:38:58.570
Super ahead of its time.
882
00:38:59.670 --> 00:38:59.929
Okay.
883
00:38:59.969 --> 00:39:02.369
Yeah, we need that. People need to rewatch it now, Americans,
884
00:39:02.449 --> 00:39:03.010
and see what it's like.
885
00:39:03.130 --> 00:39:04.010
Yeah.
886
00:39:04.670 --> 00:39:09.329
But, yeah, that– you guys super short especially season six
887
00:39:09.449 --> 00:39:11.230
is going to be like a part of pop culture
888
00:39:11.309 --> 00:39:17.219
history because of covid the racial uh time like the
889
00:39:17.300 --> 00:39:19.619
the riot everything going on and you guys touched it
890
00:39:19.659 --> 00:39:22.880
with humor like how how was the writing back then
891
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:24.800
or like the coaching or how was it.
892
00:39:25.219 --> 00:39:30.820
The writing you know the writers are phenomenal Like we
893
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:33.920
would get scripts and we'd be like, how how are
894
00:39:33.940 --> 00:39:39.400
they being relevant and funny and having such a soft touch?
895
00:39:40.230 --> 00:39:42.679
You know, like nobody feels like they're being hit over
896
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.519
the head. And, you know, a lot of those writers
897
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:47.340
are on St. Dennis Medical, which I don't know if
898
00:39:47.380 --> 00:39:48.849
you've seen it, but it's great.
899
00:39:48.969 --> 00:39:49.130
Yeah.
900
00:39:49.150 --> 00:39:52.789
So that takes place in a fake hospital in Oregon. So, yeah,
901
00:39:53.070 --> 00:39:56.510
it's an Oregon one. And then. But yeah, the cast,
902
00:39:56.630 --> 00:39:59.380
I'm forgetting names, but the head of the hospital.
903
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:00.960
Wendy McClendon.
904
00:40:01.219 --> 00:40:01.840
Oh, yeah.
905
00:40:02.139 --> 00:40:03.340
Wendy McClendon Covey.
906
00:40:03.500 --> 00:40:03.719
Yeah.
907
00:40:03.739 --> 00:40:06.239
So she's the actress. So she has wished my dog
908
00:40:06.260 --> 00:40:08.599
a happy birthday, too. Of course she has.
909
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:09.429
She loves animals.
910
00:40:09.619 --> 00:40:09.929
Yeah.
911
00:40:10.070 --> 00:40:13.230
So there's like Gus Gus is so intertwined with pop culture,
912
00:40:13.570 --> 00:40:18.489
similar to like how you are because shifting gears from Superstore,
913
00:40:18.869 --> 00:40:23.559
you've been in shows in like Modern Family, The Middle, Frasier, Friends,
914
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:27.409
Will & Grace. Gilmore Girl. You've been in, you've touched
915
00:40:27.469 --> 00:40:30.510
on all of these iconic shows. Do you ever have
916
00:40:30.570 --> 00:40:34.869
like those pinch me moments or how, cause you see
917
00:40:34.889 --> 00:40:37.349
it in such a different lens than we do. So
918
00:40:37.429 --> 00:40:40.030
have you, what was your, I know it's a broad question,
919
00:40:40.050 --> 00:40:42.949
but like, do you ever have those pinch me moments or?
920
00:40:43.989 --> 00:40:47.239
Yeah. I mean, because like when I, you know, whatever,
921
00:40:47.260 --> 00:40:51.719
I'm in high school and I'm watching, you know, moonlighting
922
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:52.340
or whatever it was on.
923
00:40:52.340 --> 00:40:56.210
And like, thinking, Oh, I want to, I want to
924
00:40:56.230 --> 00:40:57.530
be on TV. I want to be on TV.
925
00:40:57.610 --> 00:41:00.639
And then, so the first job I did was, um,
926
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:02.280
Dharma and Greg.
927
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:02.840
Yeah.
928
00:41:03.019 --> 00:41:06.340
And I had one line and I was thrilled.
929
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:10.059
I remember like they filmed at the 20th century Fox
930
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:12.280
lot and I drove on the lot.
931
00:41:12.539 --> 00:41:13.760
I had what's called a drive on.
932
00:41:13.909 --> 00:41:14.199
Yeah.
933
00:41:14.389 --> 00:41:15.809
And it was, that was a big deal.
934
00:41:15.889 --> 00:41:17.969
And I had a trailer and it was just like,
935
00:41:18.469 --> 00:41:20.369
and this is well before cell phones. So I don't,
936
00:41:20.570 --> 00:41:23.130
I don't have any photos of anything. And it was
937
00:41:23.210 --> 00:41:28.219
just like, I mean, I can still like tap back
938
00:41:28.300 --> 00:41:33.000
into like how thrilling it was. And then, and then
939
00:41:33.019 --> 00:41:36.719
it continued like that. And then I remember when I
940
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:43.539
did friends, the, um, uh, I had, the audition was
941
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:46.139
on a Monday morning. The callback was Monday afternoon and
942
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:49.239
I started work on Tuesday. So it was like, went
943
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:53.880
really fast. And, and so, um, I remember, and I
944
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:55.260
had a day job at the time, so I had
945
00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:57.599
to like cover all of my, so I was working
946
00:41:57.659 --> 00:41:59.239
Tuesday through Friday of that week. I had to like
947
00:41:59.300 --> 00:42:02.059
cover all of my shifts and it was like, you know,
948
00:42:02.099 --> 00:42:04.570
I booked episode of Friends and everybody's like, oh my God.
949
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.869
And so I remember, so I had all of this
950
00:42:08.909 --> 00:42:13.030
stress about covering shifts and stuff. And then I, you know,
951
00:42:13.050 --> 00:42:15.110
went to sleep or whatever. The next day, then I
952
00:42:15.150 --> 00:42:19.929
had to drive to Warner Brothers and, you know, parked
953
00:42:20.010 --> 00:42:20.690
and all that kind of stuff.
954
00:42:20.849 --> 00:42:22.289
And then I got really nervous.
955
00:42:22.309 --> 00:42:22.389
Sure.
956
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:26.050
And I was like, oh, and I was, I remember
957
00:42:26.110 --> 00:42:30.469
walking from the parking structure to the soundstage and getting
958
00:42:30.510 --> 00:42:34.610
like really, really anxious. And then outside of the soundstage,
959
00:42:35.369 --> 00:42:39.469
I was like, Irene, your agent thinks you can do this.
960
00:42:39.929 --> 00:42:42.829
The casting director thinks you can do this. The writer
961
00:42:42.989 --> 00:42:43.909
thinks you can do this.
962
00:42:44.809 --> 00:42:45.389
You can do this.
963
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:48.320
And I had a pretty small part. And then I
964
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:51.380
walked in and was like, you know, trying to keep
965
00:42:51.420 --> 00:42:53.079
it together. And the first person to talk to me
966
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:56.179
was Matt LeBlanc. And he walked up to me and
967
00:42:56.679 --> 00:42:59.360
extended his hand. And he was like, Hi, my name's Matt,
968
00:42:59.380 --> 00:43:02.519
what's yours? And I said, Oh, my name is Irene.
969
00:43:02.699 --> 00:43:05.960
And he goes, Oh, it's my grandmother's name. I knew
970
00:43:05.980 --> 00:43:08.860
there was a reason I liked you. And from that moment,
971
00:43:09.099 --> 00:43:12.539
I was like, Oh, I'm gonna be okay. Like, it
972
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:15.840
cost him nothing. I mean, he I'm sure he doesn't
973
00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:19.230
remember that. It cost him no loss of ego to
974
00:43:19.250 --> 00:43:22.110
be kind to somebody who just has like three lines
975
00:43:22.170 --> 00:43:24.929
or two lines or whatever it was. So that was
976
00:43:24.989 --> 00:43:27.820
a real pinch me moment too, where I was just like, oh, okay,
977
00:43:27.860 --> 00:43:29.639
these people are making a million.
978
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:30.000
Dollars a week.
979
00:43:31.019 --> 00:43:34.699
I better come correct. Like, and I'm so lucky to
980
00:43:34.739 --> 00:43:37.679
be here. So that was a real pinch me moment
981
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:38.480
for sure.
982
00:43:38.500 --> 00:43:42.099
Yeah. And you had, I think you were just in one,
983
00:43:42.139 --> 00:43:45.460
maybe two, but you had a pretty good, good, sad role.
984
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:45.880
Yeah.
985
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:49.840
It was with Matthew Perry. Yeah. And you played his assistant.
986
00:43:49.860 --> 00:43:52.210
Doesn't he, he kind of dogs on, he's like talking
987
00:43:52.230 --> 00:43:53.969
crap about you in front of cats.
988
00:43:54.010 --> 00:43:54.230
Yeah.
989
00:43:54.369 --> 00:43:56.329
Oh, and then you go on and Carol goes on
990
00:43:56.349 --> 00:43:57.409
to try to kill the.
991
00:43:57.369 --> 00:43:59.250
Cat, kill a cat. It doesn't make sense.
992
00:43:59.329 --> 00:44:01.230
Wait, was that care? Maybe that was Carol.
993
00:44:01.250 --> 00:44:06.110
Oh my God. Earlier life. Yeah. Um, I had had,
994
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:07.960
I think I was in two scenes and then I
995
00:44:07.980 --> 00:44:10.380
think only one aired or one got cut or whatever
996
00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:12.019
it was. It doesn't really matter. But yes, I was
997
00:44:12.059 --> 00:44:13.239
like a crazy cat lady.
998
00:44:13.300 --> 00:44:16.719
But he was, uh, he was, he was so iconic.
999
00:44:16.780 --> 00:44:19.260
Like he was, he was one of my comedic heroes, him.
1000
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.960
And then, um, I don't know if you ever watched, uh,
1001
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:25.949
all that from Nickelodeon back in the nineties. So Lori Beth,
1002
00:44:26.070 --> 00:44:30.070
Lori Beth Denberg, Matthew Perry, uh, you're the newest one
1003
00:44:30.110 --> 00:44:33.530
on my Mount Rushmore. Um, as of a few years ago, but, um,
1004
00:44:34.050 --> 00:44:36.389
But yeah, iconic comedic actors.
1005
00:44:37.010 --> 00:44:38.369
Yeah, yeah.
1006
00:44:39.710 --> 00:44:42.070
He was really wonderful to me, Matthew Perry was. He
1007
00:44:42.090 --> 00:44:46.690
was really nice. I mean, because none of them have
1008
00:44:46.710 --> 00:44:48.789
to be nice to anybody. They were all nice to me,
1009
00:44:48.849 --> 00:44:50.869
but I didn't really deal with any of the rest.
1010
00:44:51.550 --> 00:44:52.239
Not as much.
1011
00:44:52.590 --> 00:44:54.739
They were all totally fine to me. Nobody was mean
1012
00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:57.030
to me at all. But he was really wonderful and
1013
00:44:57.070 --> 00:44:59.769
Matt LeBlanc. They were both really, really great.
1014
00:44:59.829 --> 00:45:01.730
And that's someone that even like on a more micro
1015
00:45:01.769 --> 00:45:04.269
level that like our listeners should always do too is
1016
00:45:04.329 --> 00:45:07.110
like no one's ever above anybody. Like we should all,
1017
00:45:07.309 --> 00:45:08.690
we're all in this together.
1018
00:45:08.710 --> 00:45:10.329
It's nice to be nice.
1019
00:45:10.409 --> 00:45:10.750
Yeah.
1020
00:45:10.849 --> 00:45:12.610
It's nice to be nice.
1021
00:45:12.630 --> 00:45:13.750
The thing is it's easy.
1022
00:45:14.349 --> 00:45:17.070
Like, it just costs you nothing to be like, hello,
1023
00:45:17.090 --> 00:45:18.139
welcome to the set.
1024
00:45:18.699 --> 00:45:19.840
I know I'm a big deal.
1025
00:45:19.860 --> 00:45:22.780
And you're here, you know, for just one episode.
1026
00:45:22.820 --> 00:45:23.559
We're glad you're here.
1027
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:26.199
Like, it just is, it's just easy to do. And
1028
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:28.119
it just costs nothing.
1029
00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:30.670
When people say like, when I'm going to the checkout,
1030
00:45:30.829 --> 00:45:32.789
I usually do like, I don't do self checkout because
1031
00:45:32.809 --> 00:45:35.550
that's too overwhelming. But when the cashier is like, how
1032
00:45:35.570 --> 00:45:37.530
are you doing today? And I always say like, eight.
1033
00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:41.440
You know, like, I give them a number. But then
1034
00:45:41.460 --> 00:45:42.980
when I'm having, like, a really bad day, I do
1035
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:45.280
kind of trauma dump on them a little bit. And
1036
00:45:45.300 --> 00:45:47.579
I think that's my, you know, Carol coming out or
1037
00:45:47.619 --> 00:45:51.369
whatever that I, like, probably overshare a little bit. I
1038
00:45:51.409 --> 00:45:53.590
do really want to, before we lose you, I want
1039
00:45:53.610 --> 00:45:57.090
to talk to you about the exciting news that you
1040
00:45:57.190 --> 00:45:59.280
are on a new show on Disney and Disney +.
1041
00:45:59.369 --> 00:46:00.610
I am.
1042
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:00.880
Yes.
1043
00:46:00.889 --> 00:46:02.139
It's called Electric Bloom.
1044
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:02.280
It is.
1045
00:46:04.139 --> 00:46:08.579
Absolutely delightful and charming and smart and funny.
1046
00:46:08.780 --> 00:46:09.559
It's great.
1047
00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:13.340
And I'm on three episodes and we're waiting for a
1048
00:46:14.500 --> 00:46:16.900
season to pick up and fingers are crossed that it'll
1049
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:18.530
be picked up, but it's wonderful.
1050
00:46:18.570 --> 00:46:20.260
And the music is written by Diane Warren.
1051
00:46:20.610 --> 00:46:22.829
That's I don't know if you, yeah, that's a big,
1052
00:46:22.849 --> 00:46:23.949
I mean, it's huge.
1053
00:46:24.090 --> 00:46:25.349
All the songs are bops.
1054
00:46:25.590 --> 00:46:28.469
Yes, they're all bops. I don't want to say actually,
1055
00:46:28.510 --> 00:46:31.539
but like sometimes, you know, I don't listen to Hannah
1056
00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:35.519
Montana on the regular. But this is like elevated music.
1057
00:46:35.539 --> 00:46:37.510
I totally agree. I totally agree.
1058
00:46:37.610 --> 00:46:40.909
And then I haven't got to your episodes, but Peg,
1059
00:46:40.929 --> 00:46:44.050
you look like you're having a lot of fun. You
1060
00:46:44.090 --> 00:46:46.809
posted some behind the scenes photos, which is awesome. But
1061
00:46:46.829 --> 00:46:49.250
the trampoline, I don't want to give spoilers, but there's
1062
00:46:50.150 --> 00:46:53.030
awesome costumes that you have. And you look like you're
1063
00:46:53.050 --> 00:46:56.340
having so much fun. Like I know I'm manifesting this,
1064
00:46:56.380 --> 00:46:59.340
that this and Superstore kind of reboot and you working
1065
00:46:59.380 --> 00:47:01.949
with John Waters. Those are all the things I'm manifesting
1066
00:47:01.969 --> 00:47:04.460
right now.
1067
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:06.340
I need to manifest these. You don't have to do
1068
00:47:06.380 --> 00:47:06.860
all the work.
1069
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:10.619
We'll work as a team. Listener, we're going to work
1070
00:47:10.699 --> 00:47:12.539
as a team. I'll send out the press release.
1071
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:15.280
We got this. I think you should really hold Jeff accountable, though.
1072
00:47:15.449 --> 00:47:17.849
And say, like, I haven't got a call from John Waters. Like,
1073
00:47:17.889 --> 00:47:18.909
really start probing him.
1074
00:47:19.130 --> 00:47:21.949
But don't you think that Irene would be perfect to
1075
00:47:22.130 --> 00:47:24.349
pair up in some kind of project with Jennifer Tilley?
1076
00:47:25.010 --> 00:47:26.409
Yeah, for sure.
1077
00:47:26.429 --> 00:47:27.849
Oh, I love Jennifer Tilling.
1078
00:47:27.949 --> 00:47:30.889
That would be, like, that kind of iconic duo would
1079
00:47:30.929 --> 00:47:33.449
be everything. Like, almost like a buddy comedy. Like a
1080
00:47:33.469 --> 00:47:34.809
Thelma Louise, but, like, funny.
1081
00:47:34.829 --> 00:47:35.489
Yeah.
1082
00:47:35.829 --> 00:47:37.500
Oh, I love it. I love it.
1083
00:47:37.590 --> 00:47:38.289
I have so many plans.
1084
00:47:38.309 --> 00:47:38.690
I love her.
1085
00:47:38.929 --> 00:47:42.489
I just hired myself as one of your managers. Wonderful.
1086
00:47:42.510 --> 00:47:43.769
Thank you.
1087
00:47:43.809 --> 00:47:46.050
So, yeah, I'm excited to get into more Electric Bloom.
1088
00:47:46.349 --> 00:47:48.309
This is, it's going to be big. And I love
1089
00:47:48.869 --> 00:47:50.929
that you're having fun and doing your thing. Because you
1090
00:47:50.969 --> 00:47:53.260
need to be out there making music. I don't want
1091
00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:56.840
to get verklempt again, but you're making people happy. And
1092
00:47:57.039 --> 00:47:59.800
I hope you know that. And we need that.
1093
00:47:59.820 --> 00:48:02.010
You two are making me happy right now.
1094
00:48:02.050 --> 00:48:05.230
Thank you. How about that? We're a happy little group
1095
00:48:05.269 --> 00:48:07.309
right here. It's nice to be here. I want to
1096
00:48:07.369 --> 00:48:09.090
keep you for as long as I can, but I
1097
00:48:09.130 --> 00:48:13.530
want to ask one more little question. Okay. Because I'm
1098
00:48:13.550 --> 00:48:18.659
always curious. Can you watch TV shows and movies and...
1099
00:48:19.300 --> 00:48:22.900
get lost in the story or are you so aware
1100
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.380
because you've been in this business for so long of
1101
00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:28.360
the production and the lines and the sets and the
1102
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:32.179
lighting and everything can you get lost in in shows movies.
1103
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:36.309
I can um i can i just finished watching department
1104
00:48:36.369 --> 00:48:40.050
q on netflix which is a murder show nice i
1105
00:48:40.070 --> 00:48:44.030
love my murder show it's a scottish murder show um
1106
00:48:45.090 --> 00:48:49.269
so i can i I will say that there are
1107
00:48:49.349 --> 00:48:52.730
times when I'll be watching something and I'll be like, man,
1108
00:48:52.769 --> 00:48:54.510
I wonder how many takes of this they did.
1109
00:48:54.630 --> 00:48:55.369
Oh, sure.
1110
00:48:55.389 --> 00:48:59.349
Or, you know, like, oh, or, you know, this is
1111
00:48:59.969 --> 00:49:02.949
what when I most notice it is when there's dialogue
1112
00:49:02.989 --> 00:49:03.829
that I think is tough.
1113
00:49:03.849 --> 00:49:07.050
Like, I don't really I do watch hospital shows. Have
1114
00:49:07.070 --> 00:49:07.710
you seen The Pit?
1115
00:49:08.289 --> 00:49:08.670
Oh, yeah.
1116
00:49:08.750 --> 00:49:09.989
With E.R.
1117
00:49:10.869 --> 00:49:11.429
That was intense.
1118
00:49:11.449 --> 00:49:12.030
Noah Wiley.
1119
00:49:12.090 --> 00:49:12.369
Yeah.
1120
00:49:12.489 --> 00:49:15.449
I'm like, how did I'm I was watching it. I
1121
00:49:15.489 --> 00:49:17.860
was like, how are they? how do you memorize these lines?
1122
00:49:18.230 --> 00:49:18.409
Yeah.
1123
00:49:18.449 --> 00:49:21.130
Like, how do you, all of this medical jargon, like,
1124
00:49:21.210 --> 00:49:24.030
how do you, as an actor, especially if you come
1125
00:49:24.070 --> 00:49:29.519
in for one episode or, you know, and you're there for, like, how.
1126
00:49:29.449 --> 00:49:30.530
Do you memorize this?
1127
00:49:30.929 --> 00:49:34.780
Like, that's, because memorization does not come super easily to me.
1128
00:49:35.219 --> 00:49:37.039
And so that, I would say that that's when I
1129
00:49:37.099 --> 00:49:39.920
most notice it when I'm watching something and I'm like, Wow,
1130
00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:42.780
this is a monologue with a lot of hard words
1131
00:49:43.179 --> 00:49:45.480
and they obviously memorized it.
1132
00:49:45.699 --> 00:49:47.420
Like, that's amazing to me.
1133
00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:50.239
Have you seen Adolescence or Adolescent?
1134
00:49:50.500 --> 00:49:53.340
Okay, I saw the first episode and I was traumatized.
1135
00:49:53.380 --> 00:49:56.500
Yeah, it's a hard show to watch, but cinematography wise,
1136
00:49:56.579 --> 00:49:58.699
it's all shot in like one shot.
1137
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:00.320
It's one take. Yeah, it's one shot.
1138
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:02.760
And it takes you from like house to police station,
1139
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:04.619
you know, and everything at the travel time. And it
1140
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:05.300
is so.
1141
00:50:05.539 --> 00:50:05.880
It is.
1142
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:09.710
It's not something that's sort of faked. I think it's real.
1143
00:50:09.730 --> 00:50:14.219
Like, they rehearsed for, like, weeks before they actually shot.
1144
00:50:15.420 --> 00:50:16.840
Yeah, it's a hard show to watch.
1145
00:50:16.900 --> 00:50:19.920
It's incredible. I need to get back to it because
1146
00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:21.219
I know it's wonderful.
1147
00:50:21.260 --> 00:50:24.420
But it was, like, really hard. Because my fiancé is
1148
00:50:24.460 --> 00:50:27.119
a lot like you. He falls asleep to, like, Dateline
1149
00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:30.900
and SVU kind of things. But I always have to watch, like,
1150
00:50:30.940 --> 00:50:32.929
Superstore after because I need to go to bed with
1151
00:50:32.969 --> 00:50:35.469
a good taste in my mouth. But I asked him casually.
1152
00:50:35.489 --> 00:50:37.130
I was like, oh, how would you kill me, you know?
1153
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.599
assuming that he would just say i would never kill
1154
00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:43.079
you he said i would inject in between your toes
1155
00:50:43.099 --> 00:50:45.239
with insulin and and.
1156
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:48.590
I was like oh damn it like that's so terrifying
1157
00:50:48.619 --> 00:50:51.309
you were socks to bed though yeah yeah i'm like
1158
00:50:51.489 --> 00:50:54.789
oh but um but no i um do you have
1159
00:50:54.849 --> 00:50:57.369
any other questions for our icon of the week no
1160
00:50:57.389 --> 00:50:59.750
we've kind of been pretty long yeah i'm so sorry we.
1161
00:50:59.670 --> 00:51:01.690
Kept you so long i have to say something okay
1162
00:51:01.710 --> 00:51:01.929
say it.
1163
00:51:03.139 --> 00:51:05.059
So I listened to your 80s episode.
1164
00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:06.679
Oh, cool.
1165
00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:10.590
Yes. And I think the song of the 80s is
1166
00:51:10.690 --> 00:51:12.989
Rio by Duran Duran. So I don't want to, I
1167
00:51:13.829 --> 00:51:16.929
don't want to, you know, you liked Private Dancer.
1168
00:51:16.949 --> 00:51:21.289
Yeah. And you liked, don't tell me, I'm going to
1169
00:51:21.309 --> 00:51:23.429
remember what it is. Michael Jackson.
1170
00:51:23.489 --> 00:51:24.099
Yeah. Right?
1171
00:51:24.460 --> 00:51:24.679
Yes.
1172
00:51:25.219 --> 00:51:25.940
Dirty Diana.
1173
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:26.619
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1174
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:29.909
But i and i was listening i was very engaged
1175
00:51:30.070 --> 00:51:31.949
and i was like it's rio.
1176
00:51:31.949 --> 00:51:34.190
Oh yeah for me it's rio.
1177
00:51:34.070 --> 00:51:37.110
I love that so some of our episodes usually we're
1178
00:51:37.190 --> 00:51:39.469
getting together on the weekend and like kind of drinking
1179
00:51:39.510 --> 00:51:43.599
and partaking in other activities um terrific there is we
1180
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:47.099
did start a news segment a news episode so notable
1181
00:51:47.139 --> 00:51:49.820
news there is an episode where i do talk about
1182
00:51:50.590 --> 00:51:52.670
an event that happened. So if you listen to the
1183
00:51:52.710 --> 00:51:57.449
blueberry special, just use caution and don't think of me differently. But, um,
1184
00:51:57.650 --> 00:51:59.389
but yeah, I went to a Mexican cookout cause my,
1185
00:51:59.429 --> 00:52:01.610
my spouse is Mexican and the night before, and then
1186
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:04.300
I went hiking the next day and unfortunate incident happened.
1187
00:52:04.820 --> 00:52:07.380
So anyways, um, I'm not sure why I'm sharing this
1188
00:52:07.539 --> 00:52:09.719
with Irene right now, but.
1189
00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:10.460
We're, we're friends.
1190
00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:16.079
My poor bodies, bodies that do things.
1191
00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:18.800
Okay. Forget that. I said that. Um, I, where can
1192
00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:21.429
our listener find you? And find what you're working on.
1193
00:52:22.110 --> 00:52:25.449
I am mostly on Instagram is where I am. I'm
1194
00:52:25.469 --> 00:52:27.719
not on TikTok. I keep thinking about it. But my
1195
00:52:27.780 --> 00:52:32.159
Instagram is the Irene White, at the Irene White. And
1196
00:52:32.340 --> 00:52:32.940
I do post.
1197
00:52:33.380 --> 00:52:37.260
And, you know, yeah, that would be it.
1198
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:40.679
And listener, your assignment tonight is to, if you cancel
1199
00:52:40.699 --> 00:52:43.380
Hulu because of last week or the week before, Get
1200
00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.739
Hulu back. Get Disney Plus back. We're on board. Watch
1201
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:51.030
Electric Bloom. Rewatch on repeat Superstore. Because if they see
1202
00:52:51.050 --> 00:52:54.449
that we are here for it, they will make a
1203
00:52:54.530 --> 00:52:56.489
reboot or they'll make a TV special.
1204
00:52:56.889 --> 00:52:57.469

Yes.
1209
00:53:05.380 --> 00:53:06.920
And I think that is going to be it. I
1210
00:53:06.940 --> 00:53:11.599

00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:36.599
Oh i'm so happy to hear that and her i
1246
00:54:36.619 --> 00:54:40.269

1247
00:54:40.289 --> 00:54:41.889
about things they want to do in the future. And
1248
00:54:41.929 --> 00:54:45.139
she's like, she writes down eat shellfish. And then, but
1249
00:54:45.179 --> 00:54:47.539
then they're like, I read like, Oh, this is what
1250
00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:49.619
you want to do. And then she's like, I'm allergic.
1251
00:54:50.380 --> 00:54:54.090
So to go from that Carol to like the juicy
1252
00:54:54.260 --> 00:54:58.659
couture one, like it's, it's amazing. This, the writing, thank you. The,

I'll see you guys later.

Bye.
1265
00:55:16.210 --> 00:55:16.369
Bye.
1266
00:55:16.530 --> 00:55:16.809
Bye.
1267
00:55:21.889 --> 00:55:23.190
All right. That was awesome.
1268
00:55:23.489 --> 00:55:25.190
That was awesome. And you know, it's funny. It's like
1269
00:55:25.309 --> 00:55:26.969
before we started recording, you asked if I was nervous.
1270
00:55:27.010 --> 00:55:28.610
I was like, nah, I'm not nervous. But then right
1271
00:55:28.630 --> 00:55:31.389
when we were in the waiting room waiting for her
1272
00:55:31.409 --> 00:55:34.909
to join, my nerves kicked in again. Every, I say
1273
00:55:34.949 --> 00:55:38.590
this every single time we've interviewed anybody, every single person
1274
00:55:38.630 --> 00:55:40.949
has been so nice when they don't need to be
1275
00:55:40.989 --> 00:55:43.289
that nice. You know, it's just crazy. Like, I don't know.
1276
00:55:43.309 --> 00:55:45.469
I get nervous every time still, but it is, she
1277
00:55:45.510 --> 00:55:48.340
was really sweet. I was like, and I love that we,
1278
00:55:48.550 --> 00:55:50.989
before the, we were talking about, I was like, I
1279
00:55:51.030 --> 00:55:53.320
feel like she's been improv and you go in second. Yeah.
1280
00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:55.159
Second city. And then it turned out she was, and
1281
00:55:55.179 --> 00:55:56.360
we called it, we fucking nailed it.
1282
00:55:56.380 --> 00:56:01.440
She has that effortless, um, um, appeal, uh, appearing, uh,
1283
00:56:02.769 --> 00:56:04.650
Like I know like she has that talent and she's
1284
00:56:04.690 --> 00:56:08.110
worked to her craft with her studying theater and studying acting.
1285
00:56:08.389 --> 00:56:11.150
But there's something she has it. And yeah, she was
1286
00:56:11.230 --> 00:56:14.460
genuinely a nice person. I knew she was because of
1287
00:56:14.500 --> 00:56:17.320
like my interactions on. social media with her and my
1288
00:56:17.340 --> 00:56:18.159
dog and stuff.
1289
00:56:18.260 --> 00:56:19.199
She hasn't blocked you yet.
1290
00:56:19.300 --> 00:56:21.900
Yeah, she hasn't blocked me yet. Unlike Shawn Mendes, who
1291
00:56:21.940 --> 00:56:26.440
has blocked me. Shawn Mendes and Meghan McCain, they're not equals, but...
1292
00:56:26.239 --> 00:56:28.880
Because Shawn Mendes is way better. But Shawn Mendes did
1293
00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:32.469
block me. But so many don't. So many don't.
1294
00:56:32.489 --> 00:56:33.329
Yeah, so many don't.
1295
00:56:33.630 --> 00:56:37.550
No, that was surreal. Like, when you see somebody on
1296
00:56:37.590 --> 00:56:40.210
your screen, and even, like, how intimate, like, watching shows
1297
00:56:40.269 --> 00:56:43.289
on your phone is, but, like, Superstore is that comfort
1298
00:56:43.329 --> 00:56:47.570
show for me. Yeah. And seeing somebody... in such, like,
1299
00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:51.599
talking to us, but I've seen her deliver these lines
1300
00:56:51.619 --> 00:56:55.480
that are so intense and so funny, too, on Superstore.
1301
00:56:55.940 --> 00:56:57.179
It was surreal to see her.
1302
00:56:57.340 --> 00:57:00.400
Well, I didn't even... I only started watching Superstore because
1303
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:02.719
of this interview, and it's one of my new comfort shows.
1304
00:57:02.780 --> 00:57:06.940
It's super funny. It's really fucking funny. Like, it's hilarious. Like,
1305
00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:09.699
there's laugh-out moments when I'm watching it alone. Every episode,
1306
00:57:09.719 --> 00:57:12.900
there's gonna be a few. Oh, I forgot what I
1307
00:57:12.900 --> 00:57:13.340
was gonna say.
1308
00:57:14.139 --> 00:57:14.489
Hmm.
1309
00:57:15.739 --> 00:57:18.119
good shit oh but i even before watching the show
1310
00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:20.550
after watching the show i saw all these little clips
1311
00:57:20.780 --> 00:57:22.469
and i never knew what tv show was from but
1312
00:57:22.489 --> 00:57:25.170
i've seen clips of her on like tiktok and instagram
1313
00:57:25.190 --> 00:57:27.190
and shit and then like watching the show i'm like
1314
00:57:27.309 --> 00:57:28.969
oh now now when i see the clips i'm like
1315
00:57:29.050 --> 00:57:31.389
oh i totally get it now so yeah and that's what.
1316
00:57:31.170 --> 00:57:34.090
The world needs more of is just to laugh and
1317
00:57:34.130 --> 00:57:36.610
like i love that we talked about like the diversity
1318
00:57:36.630 --> 00:57:40.269
of the cast and that no matter what You can
1319
00:57:40.429 --> 00:57:44.210
every every watcher or like viewer can identify with at
1320
00:57:44.329 --> 00:57:48.469
least one person. And it's just it's just so relatable.
1321
00:57:48.510 --> 00:57:50.369
And everybody, for the most part, has gone into like,
1322
00:57:50.690 --> 00:57:53.590
you know, grocery store, a big box store, anything like that.
1323
00:57:54.030 --> 00:57:57.210
And it's sometimes we forget that like are the people
1324
00:57:57.230 --> 00:58:02.789
that are working there have these like relationship with each
1325
00:58:02.909 --> 00:58:06.389
other and like these lives that they're going through. And
1326
00:58:06.429 --> 00:58:09.210
it's just I'm sure that I'm curious. I should have
1327
00:58:09.230 --> 00:58:13.880
asked this, too, is if like how did they like
1328
00:58:14.179 --> 00:58:16.280
what kind of research did they do? Did they have
1329
00:58:16.340 --> 00:58:19.400
like it seems like they would have like a what's
1330
00:58:19.420 --> 00:58:21.920
called like an expert witness, somebody that like worked in
1331
00:58:21.940 --> 00:58:24.800
the industry, like be a console or something.
1332
00:58:24.900 --> 00:58:27.039
But it's so weird to that, like there's probably shows
1333
00:58:27.619 --> 00:58:30.849
about big box stores and stuff previously. Maybe I never
1334
00:58:30.889 --> 00:58:33.360
heard of one. But it's such a good idea because
1335
00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:36.920
it's literally endless possibilities of stories.
1336
00:58:36.960 --> 00:58:37.219
Yeah.
1337
00:58:37.340 --> 00:58:39.719
All the different people coming in, just all the new
1338
00:58:39.760 --> 00:58:44.039
products coming out, just society itself. It's like a goldmine.
1339
00:58:45.260 --> 00:58:47.590
It's a genius idea to have a show in a store.
1340
00:58:47.690 --> 00:58:48.630
It's such a good idea.
1341
00:58:48.670 --> 00:58:53.150
Whoever wrote, because she started out as a nonverbal kind
1342
00:58:53.170 --> 00:58:55.690
of character, and then she was a little bit more timid,
1343
00:58:55.730 --> 00:58:58.269
the character of Carol, at the very beginning when she
1344
00:58:58.300 --> 00:59:02.469
was introduced. And when she talked about getting the script
1345
00:59:02.469 --> 00:59:05.960
for the first time that she really takes a shift,
1346
00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:08.849
whoever wrote that, icon. like they are an icon. They,
1347
00:59:08.949 --> 00:59:11.269
they saw something and they were like, we need to,
1348
00:59:11.389 --> 00:59:14.969
we need to utilize this, this actor more. And they, they,
1349
00:59:15.170 --> 00:59:16.309
they killed it. And then I was going to say,
1350
00:59:16.550 --> 00:59:17.989
one thing I didn't get a chance to mention to
1351
00:59:18.090 --> 00:59:21.070
Irene is that there's an episode, I think it's called
1352
00:59:21.110 --> 00:59:23.780
scanners where there's two teams and they are playing like
1353
00:59:23.820 --> 00:59:26.639
laser tag with each other. And Carol is in this
1354
00:59:26.679 --> 00:59:29.909
like roundabout clothing rack. where it's hard for her to
1355
00:59:29.949 --> 00:59:32.750
get people, but she starts shooting people with the laser.
1356
00:59:32.989 --> 00:59:36.070
And then every time she shoots somebody, she says, American sniper, baby.
1357
00:59:36.559 --> 00:59:39.940
And then, so whenever I succeed at something, if it's like,
1358
00:59:40.300 --> 00:59:42.219
I make a basket, if I'm playing basketball with my
1359
00:59:42.239 --> 00:59:44.500
kid or whatever, I will say, or if I throw
1360
00:59:44.519 --> 00:59:46.840
garbage in a garbage can, I'll say American.
1361
00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:47.219
Sniper, baby.
1362
00:59:47.239 --> 00:59:51.010
Like that's because not because of the, um, the movie
1363
00:59:51.030 --> 00:59:51.610
American sniper.
1364
00:59:51.670 --> 00:59:55.530
It's because Carol, like I, that's.
1365
00:59:54.750 --> 00:59:57.309
Like an everyday thing. And like, there's so many quotable
1366
00:59:57.369 --> 01:00:00.880
lines that, definitely maybe not work appropriate because of HR issues,
1367
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:03.860
but anyways, but fabulous. I had such a blast.
1368
01:00:03.909 --> 01:00:07.949
So the only thing that I wish somehow we could
1369
01:00:07.969 --> 01:00:12.329
get is I want to see that fucking Abraham Lincoln.
1370
01:00:12.530 --> 01:00:13.289
Oh my gosh.
1371
01:00:13.650 --> 01:00:13.829
Either.
1372
01:00:13.849 --> 01:00:15.610
I want to see it or I want, I want
1373
01:00:15.630 --> 01:00:17.289
to see the screenplay of it or, you know, the
1374
01:00:17.329 --> 01:00:20.949
script of it. Having fifth graders write a play about
1375
01:00:21.010 --> 01:00:23.780
Abraham Lincoln is so fucking funny to me. Cause like,
1376
01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:25.539
you know, they're going to get some stuff wrong. And I,
1377
01:00:26.219 --> 01:00:29.210
if I were the teacher, I would be like, just
1378
01:00:29.230 --> 01:00:31.360
go with it. Even if it's not right. Like, let's
1379
01:00:31.380 --> 01:00:33.000
just see what we can do with this. I think
1380
01:00:33.019 --> 01:00:35.119
that's so fricking funny. It would be really fun to
1381
01:00:35.139 --> 01:00:38.500
have fifth graders write a show about Abraham Lincoln, but
1382
01:00:38.519 --> 01:00:40.159
then have adults do the show.
1383
01:00:40.500 --> 01:00:43.409
And then the fact that if there wasn't Abraham Lincoln,
1384
01:00:43.530 --> 01:00:45.789
there might like the real guy, there might not have
1385
01:00:45.849 --> 01:00:50.489
been Carol. Like, cause Carol was really grown because of Irene.
1386
01:00:50.829 --> 01:00:52.889
But if there was no, I, uh, Abraham Lincoln, there
1387
01:00:52.909 --> 01:00:54.650
wouldn't have been that play when she was a kid.
1388
01:00:54.710 --> 01:00:57.909
And then there wouldn't have been, this iconic super stork character.
1389
01:00:57.949 --> 01:01:01.079
And then you wouldn't be saying American sniper, baby. When you, yeah.
1390
01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:05.400
It's just fucking crazy. Everything is tied into one another. Um,
1391
01:01:05.519 --> 01:01:07.320
all right, listener. So you have your assignment.
1392
01:01:07.500 --> 01:01:10.179
So really, really quick. You're kind of saying you're glad
1393
01:01:10.219 --> 01:01:11.280
that there was slavery.
1394
01:01:11.360 --> 01:01:15.739
No, I'm glad there's into slavery because without the end
1395
01:01:15.780 --> 01:01:18.300
of slavery, there wouldn't have been a Carol giving the
1396
01:01:18.340 --> 01:01:22.039
iconic line. And anyway, so anyways, so listener, we, we
1397
01:01:22.079 --> 01:01:25.239
have a homework for you. So get Hulu. If you
1398
01:01:25.260 --> 01:01:27.869
don't have Hulu, uh, Watch Superstore so we can get
1399
01:01:27.909 --> 01:01:31.269
