  Speaker 1: I'm the sound guy here on the I am all
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: in podcasts. I do the microphones. I make sure everybody's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: computers work. So that makes me extremely qualified and appropriate
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to be hosting this show here. And I also want
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to confirm. I want to clarify that Scott Patterson and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I are friends. Okay, we're not just friends. I would
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: say we're best friends. I have his phone number, I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: can text him. I text him all the time. We
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: talk on the phone, we talk on the podcast. Scott
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and I are very very close. So, just in case
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you were confused about that, thank you so much for
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: joining us. We are so excited about this week's guest.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: This is a major fixture. This guy is such a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: pop culture icon, not just in the world of Gilmore Girls,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: but entertainment at large. When I told my mother that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we were doing this, when I told my mom who
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: we were talking to this week, she lost her mind.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: She started screaming. She just absolutely lost control. She can't
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: believe it. I can't believe it either. But you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I have something to admit to you guys as we
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: get started here. This was kind of a rough morning
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: for me. It was rough when I woke up in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the morning. The alarm gave me a warning. I didn't
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: think i'd make it on time. But by the time
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I grabbed my books and you know, I gave myself
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: a look. I was at the corner just in time
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to see the bus fly by. But it's all right,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why right after these words.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: iHeart podcasts.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Listen on the iHeartRadio app.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: All right, everybody, aren't those great commercials? I know? Okay,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: there's the thing in podcast apps where you can skip ahead.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: There's a skip button. I'm not going to pretend like
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it doesn't exist, But with this show, I don't think
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you need to use it. Your thumbs are not strained.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: There's no stress on those skipping thumbs because you listen
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to every single commercial and you patronize every single business
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that we advertise. And I want to thank you from
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the bottom of my heart for doing that, for listening
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to those commercials. My name is Eastin Allen. This is
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the I Smell pop Culture podcast on I Am all In.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Here's what we do here. Gilmore Girls is a treasure
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: trove of popular culture. Every show or every episode, they
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: mention really exciting things from real life, from pop culture,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: from a current event that is happening in the world
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of Gilmore Girls. They talk about it, and we dive deeper.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: We take those references and we expand upon them. We
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: talk to the people that created them. We talk to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the people that are those pop culture references. And this
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: week we are talking to Mario Lopez. That's right, a C.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Slater from Saved by the bell one of the most
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: iconic television shows all the time. We're gonna talk to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Mario Lopez. Before we bring Mario on, I need to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: discuss something with you because and I'll tell you why
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Mario has a connection to Gilmore Girls. Why say by
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the Bells connected to Gilmore Girls, but that it kind
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of made me think of something interesting. Gilmore Girls is
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: such a rich history, rich universe. It's so detailed, and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it's so it's so diverse. It feels so real. Star's Hall,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it feels like a real place you could walk around.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: These characters feel like people, you know, And that's why
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: we love the show. That's why we love it so much.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: The thing that I think is so interesting is when
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we when they reference another piece of media in Gilmore Girls,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: like because they'll reference like current events or like real people,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: like other like real celebrities, real news people, real you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: public figures. But there's a lot of times at the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: reference like other other TV shows, other movies. And I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: think that is so interesting because if you think about
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: it in the world of a fictional universe, you're kind
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of setting the stage for what exists and what doesn't
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: exist in the world of Gilmore Girls, in the world
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of stars Hollow. There's a theory that if you're listening
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to this podcast, you're a big goil More Girls fan,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: so I guarantee you know about this, but it comes
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: up on my feed every so often, and I'm just
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: so fascinated about it. I need to talk to you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: about it right now. They call it the Sopranos and
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls paradox. So if you don't know what the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: word paradox means, it's it's a seemingly absurd or self
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: contradictory statement when investigator explained, maybe prove to be well
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: founded or true. It's like something that can't exist. It's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: kind of something that like disqualifies itself. But in the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: world of Gilmore Girls, there's this weird clash of realities
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: with the world of The Sopranos, the HBO show The Sopranos.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: In season six, episode four of The Sopranos, an episode
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of Gilmore Girls is playing on TV. The characters are
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: watching it. Okay, So with that, we've established that the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: characters of The Sopranos watch the show Gilmore Girls. Gilmore
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Girls exists as a TV show in the world of Sopranos,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: just like it does for us in the real world.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: We watch the show Gilmore Girls, as do the characters
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: in The Sopranos. Okay, that's it. That's HBO. That's a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: different universe. We're going into the world of Gilmore Girls.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls's reality we're going to think about that now.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Stars Hollow is real. In season seven, episode seventeen of
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls, Richard is wearing a track suit and Laura
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: La makes a joke about it, asking if he's having
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: lunch with Tony Soprano. So now we can draw a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: couple conclusions here that Sopranos is also a TV show
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in Gilmourt Girls, which causes the paradox because that means
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that the characters of Gilmore Girls can watch the Sopranos
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and see their lives being watched. Kind So now we
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: don't know, is this like a Truman show thing They're
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: being filmed and they don't know it. Is there a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: clash of realities here? What's happening that must be so
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: so jarring, so upsetting, or or I have this other
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: theory I thought about this. Tony Soprano is a real person,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And so now we're gonna go back to HBO. Sopranos
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: is real. Tony Soprano is a real person. He's gonna
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: watch gilmart Girls and see himself being referenced. And to me,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that would I would think, oh my god, someone who
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: writes for Gilmore Girls knows about me enough to put
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: me in the show that there's so many ideas here,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: it's so interesting. I love it. But that leads us
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to what we're talking about today. We are talking about
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Saved by the Bell. So in season one, episode four,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The Deer Hunter, they referenced Saved by the Bell. So,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna go back to this paradox conversation a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: little bit, that means we have established Save by the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Bell is a TV show that is in the world
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of Gilmore Girls. Gilmore Goes can watch Saved by the Bell.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: From my research, Save by the Bell never referenced Gilmore Girls.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I believe it went off the air before Gilmore Girls started,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: so that we don't have to worry about this paradox happening.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Save by the Bell as a TV show that the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: cast of the characters in Gilmore Girls in stars hollow watch.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And to explain the reference here, in season one, episode four,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Rory gets a d for the first time in her life,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and she is like consumed by shame and embarrassment, and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: she and Laura I are talking about it at Luke
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Steiner and Rory says, oh my god, it was so humiliating,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and Laura Lay says, oh, Honey, you once told me
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you watched Saved by the Bell. What could be more
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: humiliating than that? Okay, if you love Saved by the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Bell and I love Saved by the Bell, this is
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: not humiliating. Okay. I think they're totally off here, Saved
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: by that. You should be proud of your fandom of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Saved by the Bell. It is such an iconic television show.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It's one of the biggest TV shows of all time.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It still is a major part of pop culture today.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And when you think of Saved by the Bell, I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: know a lot of characters come to mind, a lot
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of actors, But for me to me, Saved by the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Bell is a c slater. Saved by the Bell is
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Mario Lopez. We're going to talk to Mario Lopez. I'm
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: so excited Mario. And if you're not familiar with Mario
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Lopez outside of the world of Save by the Bell,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I mean this guy. He has a radio show called
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: On with Mario Lopez. It's syndicated all across the country.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: He was Sexy Colonel Sanders, and a movie called Recipe
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: for Seduction that's on the Lifetime. That's on Lifetime. Mario
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Lopez is such a such an icon. And one of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: my favorite things about Mario Lopez is that he hosts
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the in room movie channel in hotel rooms. It's called uh,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: must See Movies with Mario, and I am just obsessed
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: with it. Every time I go into a hotel, that's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the first thing I do is I check to make
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: sure Mario Lopez is on my TV. He is just
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the absolute best. He's such a cool guy. I'm so
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: excited to talk to him. And oh my god, look
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: at that he is in the waiting room. I am
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: going to bring him in right now. Let me just uh,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Mario Lopez, thanks for doing this, man, I'm so excited.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Well, thanks for having me.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: You have a new movieyet. We're going to get to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that in a second, Once upon a Christmas wish. So
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: excited about that too. But so, this is a Gilmore
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Girls podcast, and pretty early in the run of Gilmore
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Girls they reference Saved by the Bell. They mentioned it
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: in the dialog of the show, and I'm curious, like,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: when Saved by the Bell started becoming popular, like became
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: like a huge hit, do you remember the first time
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you heard like another show reference it, Like when you
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: first heard someone else talk about it on TV or
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I don't remember them referencing the show. I've gotten referenced
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: a lot like personally now like all the time. It's
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: funny because I'm radio show. They my producers collect like
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: this just like a montage of references for me, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: like mark references, which is a trip and this and
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: then uh uh a little sometimes some cameos, but I
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: get I just just get randomly referenced on all this stuff,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: which is I guess kind of cool.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Was there was there one in particular that like really
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: blew your mind that you can think of.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: In the movie. It was in the Last American Pie movie.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: The girl was trying to get her guide jealous, and
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: she said she slept with me, and I was like, oh,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: and he was great.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: It was very complimentary.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: But I was like, oh that was aggressive and uh
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and I'm cleaning up the language.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: But uh yeah, that one time, I was like, oh, okay.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Do you do you remember the first time
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that like we were walking around in public and someone
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: came up and called you a c slater? Do you
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: remember like that must have happened right well.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: When I was a kid, all the time, I mean
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: even now, which is flattering because it's been a long
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: time ago, so they still recognized me.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's been over.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Thirty something years, man, So it's a trip. The fact
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: that it's still on is a trip.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a huge part of pop culture. In
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: my opinion, every episode of sayd by the Bell belongs
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: in the Smithsonian. It's a piece of TV history. In
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: gomer Girls, when they reference it, they kind of say
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it like it's a guilty pleasure. It's kind of an
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: embarrassing thing that, like the character watches Saved by the Bell.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it supposed to be for little kids.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very guilty, should be guilty.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Do you have a guilty pleasure show? Like, what's something
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that you really love that you're maybe a little ashamed of.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not ashamed of anything that I'll watch. I watch.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: My wife, to be honest, got me into a lot
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: of crime documentaries, so there's always someone getting whacked right
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: before we go to bed now on them, there's so
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: many good ones out there, So I've been watching a
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: lot of those.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Interesting. Is there like a particular case that like really
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: captured her attention? Recently?
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Well, we just saw one that I thought was just
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: so bizarre. There were no deaths, but it was called
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Anatomy of Lies about the lady who was the writer.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Did you see it?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, on Gray's Anatomy.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: On Gray's Anatomy. She's diabolical, lying about everything, cancer and
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: the brother died. I mean, all these people and it
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: was just craze, just lies, just years of lies, and
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: she was like Forrest Gump. Everywhere something happened she was
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: involved in. It was just that one just kind of
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: tripped me out. That was the latest one we saw that.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It's so crazy and so she was like making stuff
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: up about her life and then working it into Gray's Anatomy.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: And there were and they were and like awful stuff.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: It was just really bad.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: And then we just saw the John Benny Ramsey the
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: latest one. I felt sorry for the poor parents and
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: what the media did and all that. So that was
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: a good one.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that that, I mean, that's crazy. Do you
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: do you have any personal theories about about that one?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Like who who did it?
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: That guy that from according to the doc, the one
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: that's in Bangkok right now that's sort of admitted to it,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: and they could I mean he seems pretty he knows
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of things that a lot of people didn't.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: He seems like a pretty good uh uh suspect. But
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think it's the parents or the
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: little brother.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: That was ridiculous that you know, the little brother that's
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a that's a lot of people think he was.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Nine years old. He was nine like a little kid,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: like poor kid man. That was awful.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Oh it's crazy. So one of my favorite roles of
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: yours is our musty movies with Mario. I love it.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Every time I check into a hotel. I love that
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Maria Muduos has me in the theater and then when
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I'm in a hotel, I get you to talk about
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the movies. Do people recognize you from that? Very often?
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: It's over a million rooms, so yeah, yeah that trips
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: me out, especially people that that travel a lot or
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: for a living. So like all the baseball players or
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: musicians and stuff are always hitting me up.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: It's a trip.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that that is it got a lot more
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: awareness than I thought it would.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Do you Like when you check into a hotel, do
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you you see mus see yourself pretty often? Right?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not in New this one right now. But yeah,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I got going on this hotel.

• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you have you have a new one that's out now

• 14:47
  Speaker 2: My wife Courtney's in it? And my son Dominic is amazing.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: It really does a great job. He sort of steals
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the movie. But I'm excited about this one.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: It's our first for working with Great American Family, and
• 15:01

• 15:03
  Speaker 3: family in it, and really pleased with the way it
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: turned out.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of heart and it's a lot.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Of fun, and they're singing and dancing, and it's got
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: that old time sort of feel to it. And I
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: play a mayor of a small town that wrote this
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Christmas list back when I was in the fourth grade
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: and never mailed it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: But then I discovered as.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: An adult and all the wishes sort of start coming
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: true and then wow, yeah, so then all kinds of
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: fun stuff starts to starts to happen. But we had
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: a great time shooting it outside of Chicago, this place
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: called Long Grove. They were very welcoming and I'm excited
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: for people to see it on Great American Family, just
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: like you said, once upon a Christmas Wish, and I
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: think you'll like it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: When when what time of year did you film it?
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes I hear they film in last summer.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Springtime, not too and it was still pretty cold. It
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: was snowing actually still, so it was it was actually
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: really cold, so yeah, we didn't have to fake it,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: so so that worked out. That worked out when we
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: were dancing.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Outside when it was really cold, and yeah, that was
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: it was a tough shoot.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I was somewhat injured too. I hurt my neck, but
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: you can't tell the movie.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Do you have any Christmas wishes from your childhood that
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: you'd like to see come true?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't really. I wasn't like,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't really wish for too much.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: I wasn't a big I didn't ask for big things
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: when I was a kid. I was pretty I was
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: pretty simple for the most part. I just want everybody
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: to kind of be together. And maybe the latest video
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: game that was out and I was a kid.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: That's about it. That's about the extravagant as I.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Got, so so modest my olympus.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: What what Christmas traditions do you does your family have
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: that you look forward to every year?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Well, we usually host Christmas and so my sister and
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: her four kids come out, and mom and dad and
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: my wife's family, so we're like having everyone over. My

  Speaker 3: wife's Italian, so there's a lot of Mexican and Italian food,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: so very well fed, and you know, we'll go to
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Mass and and it's nice to just just kind of
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: be still and not get on a plane and be
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: home with family.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's the best. Having to travel is a bummer.

  Speaker 2: My show Access Daily and Access.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was proud of my son. I thought he
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: did a great job.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: So I think he may want to do some more
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: and right, we'll see what happens with the next generation there.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Did you uh, so this is your son's first movie?
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: And did you have to kind of get had he
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: He's been watching his growing up, so I'm sure he
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: like came in with a lot of training already. But
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: did you have to give him some coaching when you're
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: on the set there?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I was pretty good about just kind of letting him.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: If he had any questions and stuff, or if I
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: thought he was doing something maybe that wasn't working, then
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I would talk to him about it. But for the
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: most part, he was He was prepared and and he
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: came ready.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Is this something you can see him doing as he
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: gets older getting into the business.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he likes it, So I didn't maybe think so before,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: But he's got a lot in his plate and he's
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: he's uh, he wrestles in his jiu jitsu and plays
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: the drums and piano and all that. So there's a
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: lot of activities, but definitely as he gets older, he
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: tells me he likes he likes it a lot, so
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: we'll see.
• 19:01
