  Speaker 4: was in high school a million years ago, I was
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: an exchange student to Brazil and I loved it. I
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: don't speak Portuguese anymore, but anyway, so I went and
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I did this and I stayed at a town that's
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: about three hours outside of Paris. I stayed with a family,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: I had lessons in the morning, and then I went
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: back to Paris and acted, you know, like like a native,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: like I lived there. So that's what I did. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: really wanted to do it. I wanted to do it forever,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: and so I was like, I'm going to do this,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: and if I miss auditions, I miss auditions.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Good for you, that's all. That's awesome. We all need
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: to kind of live that life, like if we want
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to do something, just make sure it happens like that's awesome.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Well, like you were talking about going to that Spice
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Girls show alone. I find it so freeing to do
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: things alone now that I'm like getting older and like
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I like to leave work early and go to the
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: movies a bunch because then I don't have to worry
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: about like timing with anybody. I can sit where I want.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I love going to the movies by myself.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I love it during the day when there's nobody there.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Like this was always agreeing for me.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so, it's it's like a little piece of heaven.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I really enjoy doing things alone. I know a lot
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: of people who don't, but I really like it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it suits me.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Until I started doing it, I didn't think I would
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: enjoy it, But now I kind of prefer And I'm
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: always like with my daughters, I'm like, oh, you guys
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: have school, honesth it my bed, all right, Well have fun.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: It's so great being an adult.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: How did you get started in comedy and acting?
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Let's see, so I did go to college. I have
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: a degree in theater, and prior to that, when I
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: was in high school, I did some drama. Initially I
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: was in the orchestra and I played the violin and
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: then this is so boring, but like one semester, her
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: drama and orchestra were then at the same period, the
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: same hour, and I had to make a big decision,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: like I remember, I mean, now it seemed so silly,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: but at the time it was like a really big deal.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: And I chose drama and I had to go tell
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: the orchestra teacher that I was leaving. It was really
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: kind of I don't know. I mean, it's obviously fine now,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: but so then that's how I got started. Was in
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: high school I did theater, and then in college I
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: went to the University of Texas at Austin. I got
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: a degree in theater there, and then I moved to
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Chicago after college, and I took classes at Second City
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: and I would say, that's you knew that.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: No, but we were talking about it right before here, and
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I was like, she's so funny.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I guarantee there's improfit.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Back, I said, second City.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: So I took classes at Second City and I auditioned
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: to be a part of Second City twice and I
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: didn't move on, and I remember that also was a
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: real heartbreak for me. And then now I'm like, it's
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: fine and then when I moved here, then I after
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: a certain period of time, I was doing more improv
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: at a place called Improv Olympic. Oh sure, which iow west,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: which doesn't exist out here anymore in Los Angeles. I
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: think it's still in Chicago. But yes, a lot of improv,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: A ton of improv.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Well, then let me kind of go on to that
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: question too, because it seems like you do a lot
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: of comedy roles comedic roles. Was there one specific part
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: when you're like a kid to where you're like, hey,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I can make people laugh and I enjoy doing this.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Do you remember like one specific thing or was it
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: maybe you just hanging out with friends or anything.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember when I was in fifth grade, we
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: did a play about Abraham Lincoln, an original play about Abraham.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I'm riveting. I'm sure that the fifth graders wrote a
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: great play. But I was playing this part. You know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: it was about like like it must have been fiction,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: but it was like the girl who wrote to him
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: and asked him to grow a beard. It doesn't what's
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: what is this?
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I would So.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: It was probably like fifteen minutes, and we thought it
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: was like three hours Anyway, I remember performing. My character's
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: name was Grace, and none of these other YAHOO fifth
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: graders knew their lines, but I knew everybody's lines, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: so I remember performing saying my line with you know, Gusto,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: and then there would be a silence, and then I
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: would lean over to somebody and tell them their line,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: and then of course all the parents would start laughing,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: and then the then you know, the person whoever, the
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: guy playing Abraham Lincoln who did not have it together,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: like I'm like, dude, this is you're not being professional,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: would say his line and then there would I would
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: say my line immediately, and then there would be a pause,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: and then I'd lean over to whoever else was, you know, nervous.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't have time for nerves at that point. But anyway,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I got a lot of laughs, and I would say
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: that that was even though I thought I was being
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: really professional, I think that those laughs really did something
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: to me.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome, Yeah you got you felt that rush
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and everything.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Well, also then it's like I.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Have this audience in the palm of my hand.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I just love to think, like Abraham Lincoln had a
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: beiod that was like a whole like monologue.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: The big, big monologue heroes that you had.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Like I realized when I was like a teenager that
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: a lot of my mannerisms are like Chevy chasisms I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: caught with my hands. And I didn't even realize that
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: until I was older. Were there any like comedic heroes
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: that you loved growing up?
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Let's see here. I that's such a good question. I
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: grew to really appreciate Elaine May, like Nichols and May,
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: but they only they had recordings that we would listen to,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: or I would listen to. But I loved I mean
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: a lot of my heroes were men, I guess, because
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: that's kind of was doing comedy. Although I love Terry Garr.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Have you guys seen Tootsie?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah for sure, Oh my god.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: She's so good in it anyway, But I loved Michael J.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Fox, oh yeah.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: And I loved Bruce Willis and like before he became
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: an action hero, he was like a comedy dude. And
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: then who else did I really love? And I loved
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Jason Bateman he was like my crush. He was on
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: like silver Spoons with Ricky Schroeder, And who else did
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: I love? And then I really loved Gene Kelly a
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: little bit, a little bit older, a little bit older
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: then Michael J.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: If you watch his movies, like like I tried to
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: watch my over like five or ten years, there's all
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: these like little subtle things that you don't get.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like I just yeah, hilarious, great, I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: love him.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah he's like timeless, yep, absolutely timeless.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah great, yeah, now I love a young franking sign
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: and everything.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: So great choices.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I want to thank you. I want
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to jump to uh to Superstore. So I have questions,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: but I just wanted to tell And I'm sure you
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: get a lot of feedback of Superstore because it has
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: such a following, especially like after it's wrapped, it has
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: a very cult following. I notice on all the social
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: medias that people are still talking about very slight plot details.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: But like this, I just want to tell you because
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: it's my first time actually speaking to a star of
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: it is that that show got I think so many
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: of us, especially me as well, through like COVID times.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: That was such a and then my spouse was going
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: through transplant, like it was such a comic relief in
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: my life during that time because immune suppresdency. You know,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: then we were even taking it more seriously so having
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Superstore as an outlet, and now it's still like a
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: comfort blanket to me, like when I'm feeling anxious, I'll
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: throw it on. I I don't I identified with Carol.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: So I thank you.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: First of all, I want to say thank you for
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: saying that about the show, because I mean, I'll only
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: I can only speak for myself, but I think while
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: we were doing it, like I want to agree with
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: you that I think that it's actually become more popular
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: since it's gone off the air, because while we were
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: doing it, I did not feel that same level of appreciation.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: And again I can only speak for myself, but like
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I would say, I'm working on this show. It's on NBC.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: It's called Superstore, and people were like what. But when
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I'm like, it's on Thursday nights, They're like, oh, I don't,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: I don't. I don't watch TV. And it's like, okay,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: well anyway, NYE.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: So but I have heard from other people that it's
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: become a comfort show. What is it about it for you?
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I think it's the cast, Like all, there's no weak
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: links on that cast at all the irreverent kind of
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: humor I just love so much. It's it's not yes,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: there's storylines that go throughout the season or throughout the show,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: but it's not one where I can I can watch season.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: So when I started a sidebar when I say I
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: identify with Carol, it's definitely not her like vindictive nature,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: but it's more like her, her dry her, your your
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: timing is just effortless, like yeah, and she that's all.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: She just wants to be loved.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: And she wants uh uh peppermint not not candy cane
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: vape juice. Anyways, when she vapes and it's off the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: screen but you can see the vape coming, I love it. Okay,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Gonna say too.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: The great thing about that show I also feel like
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: is I think if you look at any show in history,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: like The Big Ones, it's all kind of like family
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: and even though they're not related, yes, or is still
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: a family in every character you can kind of relate with.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's why I like, before we got on
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: with you tonight, I was saying, like Andy's a total Garrett,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Like like he's the most He's so fun and like
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: a little nerdy with some of the you know, video
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: games and stuff, but he's like the only scene person
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: in most rooms, right, And that's yeah, and that's how
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Garrett is. And then I'm thinking that I'm probably I'm
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: gonna say a mix of Glenn and Justine U and I.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: But my fashion icon again is you made that you
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: brought back the juicy track suit? Was that? How how
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: did that go behind the scenes? Was that your idea
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: or like, was that the it was?
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: It was theirs And I have the blue one. I
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: ended up wearing three, but I think one God, I
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: had a green one, a blue one, and a pink one,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: and I think one of them got cut. I can't remember,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: but I have the blue one. I fear it doesn't
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: fit me anymore. But yeah, they were like, we want
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: to make Carol that like she has all this money
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: or she thinks she's going to come into money because
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: of this lawsuit.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and she.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Doesn't, like she's just behind, Like she doesn't. She doesn't.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: She's like, Oh, I have money and I'm going to
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: wear this thing that's fifteen years old. So they were like,
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: are you okay with that? And I was like, of
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: course I will wear You're paying me I will wear
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: anything you want me to wear, like, honest to god,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I will. It's no problem.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Are you on Are you on TikTok? Do you get
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: on TikTok and scroll? Ever?
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: I am not on TikTok?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, So there are so many people that post scenes
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: of Superstore, and one that they post a lot of
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: is the icon I'm gonna blush talking about it. Is
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the scene between you and Jerry when you're or did
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: we freeze oldo? Oh?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Oh there we go? Oh I think we're good.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, she's really is good
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: at that staring contest. Now there's a on TikTok, there's
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of there's a lot of people posting the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: iconic scene between you and Jerry when you I can't
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: look at me and I say this, okay where if yes,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: so that it says that you should have won? Then
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Emmy for this? Uh that character? How did that? Like
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I know, question I'm trying to ask is like how
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: how did the writing happen with your character? I guess
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: is that? A question I'm trying to ask is like
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: how did they decide to bring you from having a
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: shellfish allergy to like where you ended up.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: So it's it's funny the the woman who wrote the
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: episode call. So there was a huge change all of
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: a sudden with this episode called Ladies Lunch, and that's
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: the one where they like have me on the phone
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: for the first time talking to Amy's husband, like they
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: have me, and I remember going to the table read
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: and being like, what's happening here? Like where where is this?
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: We have left? And it was phenomenal. So I don't
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: really know. I think they must have been like, let's
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: see if she can do this, and then I was like, Yeah,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: I can do that, Let's do that, and so they
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: just kind of kept pushing it and then like I
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: had that HPV line and.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Then oh my gosh, yeah some of your lines.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, enjoyed my HPV.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: She's she's she's in a redhead, so safe to say
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: she does. She's the nastiest freak in the world. Hey, Jerry,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I'm calling to let you know that you probably should
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: get tested. There were like ten guys here that say
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Sandra gave them her.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Yes. And there's that one the actress Like I.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Was talking to Andy, She's every interview I've seen her in,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: she's like the sweetest. Sandra is the sweetest character ever too, and.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: She's one of my closest friends. Oh, she was just
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: texting with her before this, my.
• 23:18

• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I so, I've never been on a show. This was

• 24:07
  Speaker 4: It's not, you know, past tense. The last time we

• 24:14
  Speaker 4: we went to Nico's wedding, so that was actually almost
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: two years ago. I think, and I think and there's
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: been other kind of small permutations of people getting together,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: but yeah, it's it's I guess it's rare, and I'm
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: I'm happy that I had that experience.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I promise you I'm not like an obsessed fan, like
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: like in a bad way. But I did see a
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Nico perform stand up. He is so good at stand
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: ups and so good and also his like one of
• 24:45

  Speaker 2: Yeah, I fell in love with him on a Survivor
• 24:52

  Speaker 3: elementary school, and I don't think any other kids knew
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: what I was doing.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: But I was like, right, they're just not cool enough.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: They don't know what I'm wanting, you know, Like I
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: thought like between that and cod and I thought I
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: was like the coolest little kid around.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: So the day one is he's on one of the
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: last episodes, any second to last episode, and he plays
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: like the son of the owner of I think the
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: son of the owner of the cloud, like buy it
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: out or something, right, And at the end of it,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: he starts eating unprovoked dog food like it's so yes,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: it's so ridiculous, and like everyone's a reaction, especially I'm
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: spacing on her name, the actress who plays Cheyenne. She yes,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yeah, Nicole, her character arc is so
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: amazing too. On on the on the show agreed, and
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I was so bummed that, Like there's talks about a
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: spin off between Yeah So, But.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know how far that got. I don't know
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: if they. I don't think they filmed it. I don't.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: I don't really know anything about that. There what we
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: didn't know about it, But Yeah So.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: I I recently last year, I got a Stanley for
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: the first time, so I drink a lot of water
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: and I also with that I manifest. So what I'm
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: manifesting is we as the loyal fans of Superstore are
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: going to manifest like either like a reboot. Now maybe
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: not a I really love a reboot, but even like
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: a like an hour long special, and they are something's
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: going on, like we catch up with you know, all
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: all the gang, but and they have to come together
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: for some reason, like I don't know what it would
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: be like a or something yeah, or like that I
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: don't know, yeah, Or we can take it to like
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: you know, when Friday the thirteenth went into outer space.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: We can add like a mystical we need to manifest something.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not the writers the manifestor I'm available.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm available for that. Yes, totally available. What you
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: know there is a there's a Mexican version of the show.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Oh really, I had no idea.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Is there counterparts to all of your characters?
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Yes, I've never seen it. Somebody told me find it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: It's like a telenovela maybe telling you the exact wrong thing,
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: but basically the format. And then I think there's it's
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: going to be like in some other country too. You're
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: doing and I think the Mexicans one is I think
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: it's an hour. I haven't. You can find it, let
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: me will because I haven't been able to find it.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: But every little city, even in here, because we're in Oregon,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: is getting a distribution center. And Justine and Marcus and
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Dina all work at a distribution center. So I think
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: that that could be what it is. It is it
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: superstore takes place in a distribution center and so many
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: people work. Okay, this is happening. I've green lit it.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: But what do you think your what do you think
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Carol would be doing today?
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, oh my god, what would Carol be
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: doing today? Is it wrong for me to say she
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: would have a podcast?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Oh my god?
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: No, I love Carol podcast. Piocast people are the worst.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm not really sure, but she Carol
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: just wants to be loved, yeah, and really thinks she
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: has some abilities. I'm not saying it's a good podcast.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: No. She takes a bunch of weight breaks and like, yes,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know who.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: She's interviewing or if she's just talking to everybody, just
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: like for and they're too long, and they're like the
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: episodes are like three four hours.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, so this is really for the diehards and won't
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I won't keep you too long. But so when there
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: was the character arc of Carol when she was very
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: like metaphysical and spiritual, was she lying or was she
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: really have an awakened like spiritual moment and then she like, yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: My belief is that she was faking.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I was faking because she was trying to
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: kill Sandra when she was taking her Okay.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is so I think, I think, Yes, how
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: I'm I can't believe I'm having to ask this, how
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: did that storyline end? What? How did I was I revealed?
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: What happened when? Oh, when she stops being kind of
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: more metaphysical? Yes, I think it's the cat. The cat

  Speaker 4: Yes, okay, and then I get electrocuted and I get
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: sent away. Is that right?
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you go away after the attempted murder of
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: the cat, and then you come back and Carol's back,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: which is literally that should have there should have been
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: an Emmy there just saying.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, the episode was called Carol.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and when you the very passive aggressive hostility,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: that care that you do for the through the character
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: is so amazing and just the effortless like poor perst
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Andro Okay, I sorry, I giggle because it's such a
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: funny show. Okay, So she makes you, uh, like muffins,

• 32:10
  Speaker 2: my gosh, but yeah, that was that was iconic. And
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: then I was so worried because I thought that that
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: you were done at that point. But then when you
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: come back and you're ready to sue, and then it's
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: like it's leveled up with the track Sue and you're
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: the humor is much more raunchy like the Okay, I

  Speaker 2: then when you say to the your lawyer, did you
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: get my email about which associates I think are uncircumcised
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: and then and then she's like, I don't know how
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: that helps, and you're like, you're you're the lawyer, figure
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: it out, and then you walk away. It's so good
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: at everything to like all the actors on the show,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: same thing, even the walking. Like you guys stay in
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: character until you're like way off, like until you're completely off,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Like there's no there's so much going on in the background,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: and you guys are acting no matter or like it's
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: just effortless. The show.

  Speaker 2: chit chatting with some of the employees who were gossipping
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: about other employees. So I went over there and I
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: started like, I want to know the tea and I

• 39:21
  Speaker 2: you see it in such a different lens than we do?
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: So have yeh, what was your That's a broad question,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: but like do you ever have those pinch me moments?
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Or yeah? I mean because like when I, you know, whatever,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: I'm in high school and I'm watching you know, Moonlighting
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: or whatever it was on and thinking, oh, I want
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: to I want to be on TV. I want to
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: be on TV. And then so the first job I
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: did was Gormitt and Greg yeah, and I had one
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: line and I was thrilled. I remember, like they filmed
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: it the twentieth Century Fox lot and I drove on
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: a lot. I had what's called a dry and it
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: was that was a big deal. And I had a
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: trailer and it was just like and this is well
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: before cell phone, so I don't I don't have any
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: photos of anything. And it was just like, I mean,
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: I can still like tap back into like how thrilling
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: it was. And then and then and it continued like that.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: And then I remember when I did Friends. The uh
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: I had the audition was on a Monday morning, the
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: callback was Monday afternoon, and I started work on Tuesday.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: So it was like went really fast.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: I remember, and I had a day job at the time,
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: so I had to like cover all of my So
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: I was working Tuesday through Friday of that week. I
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: had to cover all of my shifts, and it was like,
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: you know, I booked episode of Friends and everybody's like,
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: oh my god. And so I remember, so I had
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: all of this stress about covering shifts and stuff, and
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: then I you know, went to sleep or whatever. The
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: next day, then I had to drive to Warner Brothers
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: and you know, parked and all that kind of stuff,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: and then I got really nervous and I was like oh,
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: and I was. I remember walking from the parking structure
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: to the sound stage and getting like really really anxious,
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: and then outside of the sound stage, I was like, Irene,
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: your agent thinks you can do this, the casting director
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: thinks you can do this, the writer thinks you can
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: do this. You can do this. And I had a
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: pretty small part. And then then I walked in and
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: was like, you know, trying to keep it together. And
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: the first person to talk to me was Matt LeBlanc
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: and he walked up to me and extended his hand
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: and he was like, Hi, my name's Matt. What's yours
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: And I said, Oh, my name is Irene and he goes, oh,
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: it's my grandmother's name. I knew there was a reason
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: I liked you, and from that moment, I was like, Oh,
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be okay. Like it cost him not thing.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure he doesn't remember that. It cost
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: him no loss of ego to be kind to somebody
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: who just has like three lines or two lines or
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: whatever it was. So that was a real pinch mean
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: moment too, where I was just like, Okay, these people
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: are making a million dollars a week, I better come correct, like,
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: and I'm so lucky to be here.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: So that was a real pinch me moment for sure.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: And you had I think you were just in one
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: maybe two, but you had a pretty good, good sad role.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: It was with Matthew Perry. Yeah, and you played his assistant,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't he He kind of dogs on, He's like talking
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: crap about you in front of cat. Yeah. Yeah, and
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: then you go on, Carol goes on to try to
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: kill the cat.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Kill a cat doesn't make sense?
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Wait? Was that? Maybe that was Carol?
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I had had. I think I was in two
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: scenes and then I think only one aired or one
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: gut cut or whatever it was. It doesn't really matter.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: But yes, I was like a crazy cat lady.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: He was. He was, He was so kind, iconic like
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: he was. He was one of my comedic heroes him.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: And then I don't know if you ever watched all
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: that from Nickelodeon back in the nineties. So Lori Beth,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Lori Beth Denbergh, Matthew Perry, you're the newest one on
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: my mount Rushmore as of a few years ago. But yeah,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: iconic comedic actors.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah he was, and he was really wonderful
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: to me. Matthew Perry was. He was really nice. I mean,
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: because none of them have to be nice to anybody.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: They were all nice to me, but I didn't really
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: deal with any of the rest, not as much.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: They were all.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: Totally fine to me. There was nobody was mean to
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: me at all. But he was really wonderful. And Matthew
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: matt LeBlanc, they were both really really great.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: And that's someone like even like on a more micro
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: level that like our listeners should always do too, is
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: like no one's ever above anybody, like we should all
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: we're all in this together, so.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: It's nice to be nice. Yeah, And the.
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: Thing is it's easy, Like it just costs you nothing
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: to be like, hello, welcome to the said. I know,
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: I'm a big deal when you're here, you know, for
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: just one episode, We're glad you're here. Like it just is,
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: it's just easy to do and it just costs nothing.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: When people say, like when I'm going to the checkout,
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: I usually do like I don't do self checkout because
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: that's too overwhelming. But when the cashier is like, how
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: are you doing today, and I always say like eight,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: you know, like I give them a number. But then
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: when I having like a really bad day, I do
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: kind of trauma dump on them a little bit. And
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: I think that's my you know, Carol coming out or
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: whatever that I like probably overshare a little bit. I
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: do really want to before we lose. Yeah, I want
• 44:40

• 45:57
  Speaker 2: team all send out the press release we got.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: I think you should really hold John accountable though. Yeah,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: like I haven't got a call from John Water. Would
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: really start probing him.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: But don't you think that I would be perfect to
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: pair up in some kind of project with Jennifer Tilley. Yeah,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: like that would I would?
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: I love Jennifer.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be like that kind of iconic duo
• 46:17

• 46:20
  Speaker 2: a Thelma Louise but like funny.
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it, I love it.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: I have so many plans. I just hired myself as
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: your as one of your managers. So yeah, I'm excited
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: to get into more Electric Bloom. This is it's going
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: to be big. And I love I love that you're
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: having fun and doing your thing because you need to
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: be out there making and I don't want to get
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: for clemped again. But you're you're making people happy and
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: I hope you know that. And we need we need.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: You two are making me happy.
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: Well, thank you. We're We're a happy little group right here.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: I want to keep you for as long as I can.
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: But I want to ask one more little question is
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: cause I'm always curious. Can you watch TV shows and
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: movies and get lost in the story or are you
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: so aware because you've been in this business for so
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: long of the production and the lines and the sets
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: and the lighting and everything. Can you get lost in shows?
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Movies?
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: I can? I can. I just finished watching Department Q
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: on Netflix, which is a murder show. Yes, I love
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: my murder show. It's a Scottish murder show, so I can.
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: I will say that there are times when I'll be
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: watching something and then I'll be like, man, I wonder
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: how many takes of this they did? Or you know,
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: like oh, or you know. This is what when I
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: most noticed it is when there's dialogue that I think
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: is tough, Like I don't really I do watch hospital shows.
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: Have you seen the Pit? Oh?
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah with a white.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like how did I'm I was watching it.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: I was like, how are they? How do you memorize
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: these lines? Like how do you all of this medical jargon?
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: Like how do you as an actor, especially if you
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: come in for one episode or you know, when you're
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: there for like, how do you memorize?
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: Like that's because memorization does not come super easily to me,
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: and so that I would say that that's when I
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: most noticed that when I'm watching something and I'm like, wow,
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: this is a monologue with a lot of hard words
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: and they obviously memorized it. Like that's amazing to me.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Have you seen Adolescence or Adolescent It's okay.
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: I saw the first episode that I was traumatized.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a hard show to watch. But cinematography wise,
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: it's all shot in like one shot.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: It's one take, yea, it shot from one tap.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: House to police station. You know everything that the travel
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: time it is, it.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: Is, it's not it's not something that sort of faked.
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: I think it's it's real, like they they werehearsed for
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: like weeks before they actually shot.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: It's a heart, it's a hard, incredible.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I need to get back to it because I
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: know it's wonderful. But see every time, it's like really hard.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Because my fiance is a lot like you. He watched it.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: He falls asleep to like Dateline and SVU the kind
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: of things, and I but I always have to watch
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: like Superstore after because I need to go to bed
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: with a good taste in my mouth. But I asked
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: him casually.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, how.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Would you kill me? You know, assuming that he would
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: just say I would never kill you. He said I
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: would inject in between your toes with insulin, and I
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, damn it, Like that's so terrifying.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, but but no, I do you have
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: any other questions for our Icon of the Week.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm so sorry, I have to say something. Okay,
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: So I listened to your eighties episode. Cool, Yes, and
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: I think the song of the eighties is Rio by
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: Duran Duran. So I don't want to. I don't want to.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: You know you liked Private Dancer yeah, and you liked
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: don't tell me, I'm gonna remember what it is Michael Jackson, right, yes,
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: Dirty Diana. But I and I was listening. I was
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: very engaged, and I was like, it's Rio for me,
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: It's Rio.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: I love that thing. So some of our episodes usually
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: we're getting together on the weekend and like kind of
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: drinking and partaking in other activities. There is we did
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: start a news segment, a news episode, so notable news.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: There is an episode where I do talk about an
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: event that happened. So if you listen to the Blueberry Special,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: just use caution and don't think of me differently. But
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I went to a Mexican cookout because my
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: spouse is Mexican and the night before and then I
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: went hiking the next day and an unfortunate incident happened.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: So anyways, I'm not sure why I'm sharing this with

  Speaker 1: So I love the show.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy to hear that and her I think
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Carol's first line is they're talking about things they want
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: to do in the future, and she's like she writes
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: down eat shellfish and then but then they're like, I
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: really like this is what you want to do and
• 53:35

• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Carol to like the juicy Like, it's it's amazing. This
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: the writing. Thank you, the all the co stars, everyone

  Speaker 2: All Right, that was awesome.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: That was awesome, And you know, it's funny.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: It is like before we started recording, you asked I
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: was nervous, and I was like, nah, I'm not nervous.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: But then right when we were in the waiting room
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: waiting for her to join, my nurse kicked in.
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: I get every I say this.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: Every single time we've interviewed anybody, every single person has
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: been so nice when they don't need.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: To be that nice.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just crazy, Like, I don't know, I
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: get nervous every time still, but she was really sweet.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: I like, and I love that we before the we
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: were talking about. I was like, I feel like she's
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: been improving you and second yeah, Second City, And then
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: it turned out she was.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: And we called it. We fucking nailed it.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: She has that effortless appeal, appeal appearing delivery, like I know,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: like she has that talent, and she's worked at her
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: craft with her studying theater and studying acting, but there's
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: something she has it. Yeah, and yeah, she was genuinely
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: a nice per. I knew she was because of like
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: my interactions on social media with her and my dog
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: and stuff.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: She hasn't blocked you yet.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: She hasn't blocked me yet, unlike Seawn Mendez who has
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: blocked me. Shawn Mendez and Megan McCain, they're not equals,
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: but because Shawn Mendez is way better. But Shawn Mendez
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: did block me, but somebody don't. So many don't. No,
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: that was that was surreal, like when you see somebody
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: on your screen and even like how intimate like watching
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: shows on your phone is, but like Superstore is that
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: comfort show for me and seeing somebody in such like
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: talking to us. But I've seen her deliver these lines
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: that are so intense and so funny too. On Superstore.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: It was surreal to see her.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: Well, I didn't even I only started watching Superstore because
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: of this interview, and it's one of my new comfort shows.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: It's super funny. It's really fucking funny, Like it's hilarious
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: as like there's laugh out moments on I'm watching it alone.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: Every episode, there's gonna be a few Oh I forgot
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: some say hmmm, it's a good shit. Oh but I
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: even before watching the show, after watching the show, I
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: saw all these little clips and I never knew what
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: TV show is from, but I've seen clips of her
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: on like TikTok and Instagram and shit, and then like
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: watching the show, I'm like, oh, now now when I
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: see the clips, I'm like, oh, I totally get it now.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, And that's what the world needs more of,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: is just to laugh. And like, I love that we
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: talked about like the diversity of the cast and that
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: no matter you can, every every watcher or like LIT
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: viewer can identify with at least one person and it's
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: just it's just so relatable and everybody for the most part,
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: has gone into like you know, grocery store, a big
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: box store, anything like that, and it's sometimes we forget that, like,
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: are the people that are working there have these like
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: relationship with each other and like these lives that they're
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: going through, And it's just I'm sure that I'm curious.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: I should have asked this too, is if like how
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: like did they like what kind of research did they do?
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: Did they have Like it seems like they would have
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: like a what's it called, like an expert witness, somebody
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: that like worked in the industry, like be a console
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: But so that like there's probably shows about big box
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: stores and stuff previously, maybe I never heard of one.
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: But it's such a good idea because all it's literally
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: endless possibilities of stories. Yeah, all the different people coming in,
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: just all the new products coming out, just society itself.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: It's like like a gold mind. That's it's a genius
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: idea to have a show, yeah, in this store, Like,
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: it's such a good idea.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Whoever wrote because she started out as like a nonverbal
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: kind of character and then she was a little bit
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: more timid the character of Carol at like the very
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: beginning when she was introduced and when they when she
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: talked about getting the script for the first time that
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: she really takes the shift. Whoever wrote that, yeah, icon
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: like they are an icon. They they saw something and
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: they were like, we need to we need to utilize
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: this this Zach her more and they killed it. And
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: then I was gonna say. One thing I didn't get
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: a chance to mention to Irene is that there's an
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: episode I think it's called Scanners where there's two teams
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: and they are playing like laser tag with each other
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: and Carol is in this like roundabout clothing rack. Well
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: it's hard for her to get people, but she starts
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: shooting people with the laser and then every time she
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: shoots somebody, she says American Sniper baby. And then so
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: whenever I succeed, it's something if it's like I make
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: a basket, if I'm playing basketball with my kid or whatever,
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: I will say, or I throw garbage in a garbage can,
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: I'll say American Sniper baby. Like that's because not because
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: of the the movie American Sniper. It's because Carol, like I,
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: it's like an everyday thing, and like there's so many
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: quotable lines. Definitely maybe not work appropriate because of HR issues,
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: but anyways, but fabulous. I had such a blast.
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: So the only thing that I wish somehow we could
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: get is I want to see that fucking Abraham Lincoln field.
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, either I want to see it, or
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: I want I want to see the screenplay of it,
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: or you know, the script of it. Having fifth graders
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: write a play about Abraham Lincoln is so fucking funny
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: to me, because, like, you know, they're gonna get some
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: stuff wrong, and I if I were the teacher, I
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: would be like, just go with it, even if it's
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: not right, Like, let's just see what we can do
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: with this.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: I think that's so freaking funny.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: She would be really fun to have fifth graders write
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: a show about Abraham Lincoln, but then have adults do
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: the show.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: And then the fact that if there wasn't Abraham Lincoln
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: there might like the real guy. There might not have
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: been Carol the act because Carol was really grown because
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: of Irene. But if there was no Abraham Lincoln, there
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have been that play when she was a kid,
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: And then there wouldn't have been this iconic superstork character.
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: And then you wouldn't be saying American sniper baby when
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: you're ye.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: There's everything is in to one another. All right, listener,
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: so you have your assignment.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: So really really quick, you're kind of saying you're glad
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: that there was slavery.
