4:00
Speaker 1: share this with you two, Scott, that you mentioned that
4:03
Speaker 1: Judd Apatow produced Uh, Freaks and Geeks. Don't forget that
4:06
Speaker 1: Paul fig created Freaksing Geeks. It's really important because Paul
4:10
Speaker 1: it's basically Paul's life. And then Judd said, I think
4:14
Speaker 1: this is a great show. So it was. It was
4:16
Speaker 1: a tag team effort on Paul and Judd's behalf, you know,
4:19
Speaker 1: to go, let's get this show out there. And that's
4:21
Speaker 1: that was probably my biggest best thing. So I was
4:24
Speaker 1: on more than four of those. Scott, you are you were?
4:27
Speaker 1: You were? You were serious? Regular? Right? Yeah? Regular enough? Yea,
4:36
Speaker 1: all right, let's get let's get into the Gilmore thing
4:38
Speaker 1: first and start from the beginning. And we know from
4:42
Speaker 1: the iconic of Freaks and Geeks, Neddie Classified much more.
4:46
Speaker 1: How did you but how did you get started in acting?
4:49
Speaker 1: And did you always want to be an actor? You
4:51
Speaker 1: know what? It's on my tax forms, So just note this.
4:55
Speaker 1: I know that you are an actor and you study acting.
4:58
Speaker 1: So I'm a performer and it's really weird. I actually
5:01
Speaker 1: put it on my taxes, Scot, I put performers slash
5:04
Speaker 1: writer because I don't consider myself a very good actor.
5:08
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a actor, if you will, So I
5:10
Speaker 1: actually I performed. That's what I do, and many of
5:14
Speaker 1: my characters if you know me personally, and now we do.
5:17
Speaker 1: Great to meet you. Um Mr Rosso, Mr Quest the
5:22
Speaker 1: second try, but are on Gilmo Girls. It's kind of
5:24
Speaker 1: just me saying lines that other people wrote. So if
5:27
Speaker 1: that's acting, sure I'll take it. But I'm kind of
5:30
Speaker 1: more of a performer. So um, well I got and
5:33
Speaker 1: I got my start in high school. Just you know,
5:36
Speaker 1: in high school. Could you remember what production? In high school?
5:40
Speaker 1: It was a it was called like Fall Follies, and
5:42
Speaker 1: we did a fire signed theater, ask your grandparents, Ask
5:46
Speaker 1: your great grandparents, comedy skit. It was a radio skit,
5:49
Speaker 1: so I heard radio from way back and it was
5:52
Speaker 1: a comedy group that had a funny skit called Mark Time.
5:55
Speaker 1: And it was like Fall Follies where people did skits
5:57
Speaker 1: and songs and so forth. So my friend Paul Felster
6:00
Speaker 1: and I took just every word from a fire signed
6:03
Speaker 1: theater recorded comedy skit. This is ancient history, right, and
6:08
Speaker 1: that's where you got that going? So and by the way,
6:11
Speaker 1: can I mention one thing? May I please mention this?
6:14
Speaker 1: I can clear up another podcast? By the way, I
6:17
Speaker 1: am all in for I am all in, Okay. I
6:19
Speaker 1: don't care about any of the other boy I don't
6:21
Speaker 1: who cares about him? However, on another podcast, one of
6:25
Speaker 1: the Saturday Live cast members Chris Red super funny guy. Right, great,
6:30
Speaker 1: he's a rapper, he's a singer, he's a really funny guy.
6:34
Speaker 1: He said that only two people we're funny that came
6:37
Speaker 1: out of Naperville, Illinois, and one was Bob oden Kirk. Right,
6:41
Speaker 1: we love we love Bob, and I love Chris Red.
6:43
Speaker 1: But he said there was only two him and Bob Odenkirk.
6:45
Speaker 1: So I'll let your fans, who I trust with humor
6:49
Speaker 1: and charm. I trust that your fans are are humorous
6:52
Speaker 1: and charming, to say maybe let's like grouper in that group.
6:56
Speaker 1: It's a pretty small group. Two people. Come on, I
6:58
Speaker 1: think I think you should you know, we don't even
7:00
Speaker 1: need to consult with the audience. Let's put you in
7:03
Speaker 1: the group. There's three people now from Napierville, thank you,
7:07
Speaker 1: that are funny, good, and there may be more. Scott.
7:10
Speaker 1: I don't mean to discount anybody else who came out
7:12
Speaker 1: of there that was hilarious. So I just wanted to
7:15
Speaker 1: make sure that Chris Rednew I think I'm too old
7:18
Speaker 1: for him. I think that's why he didn't know me.
7:20
Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do? What? You know what?
7:23
Speaker 1: You can't do anything? You know? You have? There you go, there,
7:26
Speaker 1: you go, there's a there's the crafty Dave. So listen,
7:32
Speaker 1: you worked with so many great actors and when they
7:37
Speaker 1: were just young uns on Freaks and Geeks, could you
7:40
Speaker 1: tell at the time that they would go on to
7:42
Speaker 1: do great things? Well, you know what too, And I'm
7:46
Speaker 1: gonna do what I call a sidebar. You know everything
7:48
Speaker 1: I do as all the legal leads. So I'll tell
7:51
Speaker 1: you about sure that whole cast, right of Seth and uh,
7:56
Speaker 1: Linda Cardlini and all those folks, you kind of sense
7:59
Speaker 1: that they were really something. Alison Jones really and Paul
8:02
Speaker 1: Feig and Judd. They chose some really great young people
8:06
Speaker 1: to be those students on Freaksy Geeks, right, And so
8:08
Speaker 1: you knew they were going to go somewhere. There was
8:10
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But also I was early on
8:12
Speaker 1: and other people relevant to your show, my friend because
8:16
Speaker 1: Lauren Graham I knew just kind of from l A
8:19
Speaker 1: and around. We were in a movie that nobody saw
8:22
Speaker 1: called dil Scallion together. That was the first time I
8:24
Speaker 1: spent any time with her. Right. Also, Melissa McCarthy, right,
8:27
Speaker 1: the first time I met her was on your show, right,
8:30
Speaker 1: just briefly. I think we're in maybe a a town
8:33
Speaker 1: hall scene or something like that, or you know, in passing.
8:36
Speaker 1: But then I got to work with her twice on
8:38
Speaker 1: Mike and Molly right and in Ghostbusters, where I was
8:43
Speaker 1: so freaky made up that she did not recognize me
8:47
Speaker 1: as close as you know, as close as this No Joe.
8:51
Speaker 1: I was sitting in the makeup chair and they go, oh, hey, Melissa,
8:54
Speaker 1: this is a grouper and maybe she didn't know Grouper
8:56
Speaker 1: either or that name, and oh, hi, next to meet you.
8:59
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my god, because the makeup that I
9:02
Speaker 1: have in Ghostbusters, right with Melissa McCarthy that Ghostbusters, the
9:06
Speaker 1: good Ghostbusters, um was so freaky and she did not
9:10
Speaker 1: recognize me from this close, So you know, and Grantly Phillips.
9:14
Speaker 1: We worked at Largo. So that's how I got this gig.
9:17
Speaker 1: I think on Gilmore Girls, I'd like, I'd like for
9:19
Speaker 1: you or someone to clear up an issue, but we
9:22
Speaker 1: could do that later. I would love to just follow
9:24
Speaker 1: your lead. But don't let me forget to say. How
9:27
Speaker 1: did I get that gig? I think it was Grantly Phillips.
9:30
Speaker 1: We'll talk. Oh no, no, we can do. Let's go,
9:32
Speaker 1: let's chop it up right now. Let's go to it
9:35
Speaker 1: right now on another podcast. Again, I only listen to
9:37
Speaker 1: I have all in, so I don't know what goes
9:39
Speaker 1: on in any of these other shows. Your time wisely,
9:43
Speaker 1: you've got to use your time, you know what. That's
9:45
Speaker 1: only so many hours in a day and so much
9:47
Speaker 1: uh so much bandwidth on my iPad from nineteen fifty.
9:51
Speaker 1: So that's why I you know. But here's what happened.
9:55
Speaker 1: Grantly Phillips, the best trooper or ever he he and
9:59
Speaker 1: I worked together Largo. Thank you Flannagan for that opportunity
10:02
Speaker 1: to work. Largo is a club on Fairfax Avenue. In fact,
10:09
Speaker 1: in correct, you only because the original Largo was four
10:13
Speaker 1: three B two North Fairfax, So you're totally correct new
10:16
Speaker 1: is on La Sianga Largo dash l a dot com
10:19
Speaker 1: thinking to find out what they're new. Okay, oh yeah,
10:23
Speaker 1: it's been a little while. But that's where I met
10:25
Speaker 1: Grantly Phillips, the super hilarious, the super charming and humor
10:29
Speaker 1: as he was both charming and humor capital C capital
10:32
Speaker 1: age and so we knew each other from there. We
10:35
Speaker 1: were in shows together. I opened for him. Uh. The
10:39
Speaker 1: first time we did Naked Trucker Live at Largo was
10:43
Speaker 1: in front of Grant and that was Flannagan saying, only Grantly,
10:47
Speaker 1: with his sense of humor, will appreciate the Naked Trucker
10:50
Speaker 1: show as an opening act for his show. Grantly Phillips right.
10:54
Speaker 1: And we also opened to the Palace in other led
10:56
Speaker 1: places no longer there for Grantly Buffalo. So I think
11:00
Speaker 1: I owe it to Granently Phillips. He said that they
11:02
Speaker 1: wanted maybe and again someone could correct me the either
11:05
Speaker 1: one of like Robin Hitchcock or Richard Thompson to be
11:09
Speaker 1: the second triper, like an actual musician, like an actual performer,
11:13
Speaker 1: like an actual person, right to do it. And I
11:16
Speaker 1: think that didn't happen. So it might have been Grantly
11:20
Speaker 1: uh saying why don't you get grewber. I think that
11:22
Speaker 1: was it, now, did did you? I mean I assumed
11:27
Speaker 1: you had some kind of a a presence in the
11:32
Speaker 1: Hollywood firmament. Uh, you had a reputation. People knew your work,
11:37
Speaker 1: people knew who you were, so it wasn't there yea. Indeed, Scott,
11:41
Speaker 1: we were super lucky the Higgins Place Grouper was in
11:43
Speaker 1: New York. But then when we all moved out to
11:45
Speaker 1: l A, we were getting in parts like I got
11:47
Speaker 1: the part of hippie lawyer on a Drew Carey show stuff.
11:51
Speaker 1: So then we still kept performing though Scott Live. We
11:54
Speaker 1: played every single place in l A. Dave Higgins, Steve
11:58
Speaker 1: Higgins and I played every single place at accept, the
12:00
Speaker 1: Comedy Store, and the Improv. So but every single other
12:05
Speaker 1: place you could play we played. So why not there?
12:09
Speaker 1: Why not at the improv in the comedy They didn't
12:11
Speaker 1: want us? Uh at the comedy store and the improv
12:15
Speaker 1: oddly enough, because we did some improv comedy as well,
12:17
Speaker 1: they were like, nah, will pass really really? Oh yeah,
12:21
Speaker 1: but we were three people. I think they didn't want
12:23
Speaker 1: to give out three drink tickets, is what I think.
12:25
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So you were right to
12:27
Speaker 1: all the friends that would show up and so so
12:30
Speaker 1: so you had the benefit of being very memorable with
12:35
Speaker 1: your voice and your look and your humor. And casting
12:39
Speaker 1: directors or friends of casting directors. You came and see
12:41
Speaker 1: these shows that you know, this guy is exter exterly
12:44
Speaker 1: hysterically funny. You can't forget him. Why don't you go
12:48
Speaker 1: see him? Maybe cast him in that film or maybe
12:51
Speaker 1: is that how it happened for you? Just like a
12:53
Speaker 1: little bit of that. Yeah. In fact, um, let me
12:56
Speaker 1: just tell you to take yourn. You mentioned the voice,
12:58
Speaker 1: so I can share this with you. Uh. And and
13:01
Speaker 1: one one set up story. One kind of really funny story.
13:03
Speaker 1: It was just weird and it happened and someone might
13:06
Speaker 1: have seen the second thing we did. Um King of
13:08
Speaker 1: the Hill had a character called Appleseed, right, and they said,
13:12
Speaker 1: get Gruber, he can do this character. It's kind of
13:14
Speaker 1: a hippie crunching organic guy, right, And sure enough I
13:18
Speaker 1: showed up in four of those two Scott four count them.
13:21
Speaker 1: I guess that's my number. Any show Scott, They're like,
13:24
Speaker 1: don't give Grumber five five. He's gonna you know why,
13:28
Speaker 1: because he's it's it's too much you're gonna take over
13:31
Speaker 1: the show. That's the problem. Maybe that's it. That's it,
13:33
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you you stole this episode for me.
13:38
Speaker 1: I was just I was floored. I was absolutely floored
13:41
Speaker 1: with the with the hippie stuff. And I say, nobody
13:43
Speaker 1: doesn't like that. I mean that is that's like the
13:46
Speaker 1: genuine article. So were you so listen? I mean you
13:49
Speaker 1: must have been and still are. I mean you were
13:53
Speaker 1: in You're not old enough to be an original hippie? Right, No,
13:57
Speaker 1: in fact, I'm two months older than you. I was
14:00
Speaker 1: doing some reading up on Scott Patterson, right, my new
14:03
Speaker 1: favorite podcast host. No, I was, I'm two months older
14:07
Speaker 1: than you. So okay, So you know what, In fact,
14:09
Speaker 1: Scott I worked at. Did you ever go to Glendale
14:12
Speaker 1: when you're in l A? Visit Glendale? Um? Ish, that's
14:20
Speaker 1: a good way to visit Glendale. I actually been there.
14:24
Speaker 1: My wife's brother used to live there, so we would
14:26
Speaker 1: go there. Yeah, I Glendale. Yeah. Well, you know what,
14:30
Speaker 1: one of my first jobs. Our original comedy group name
14:33
Speaker 1: is don't quit your day job, so none of us
14:34
Speaker 1: did when we first moved to l A from Iowa,
14:37
Speaker 1: and so one of my first day jobs was education.
14:39
Speaker 1: Aid in a middle school in Glendale, right, Wilson Junior
14:43
Speaker 1: High at the time, And and that we just started
14:48
Speaker 1: doing all the comedy we could from there, right, And
14:51
Speaker 1: so yeah, I forget what I was gonna tell you,
14:54
Speaker 1: but it was super important. Okay, let's let's get in
14:57
Speaker 1: with the Gilmore stuff. The first season one, episode one, God,
15:03
Speaker 1: really do what do I remember you in season? In
15:07
Speaker 1: season one? Anyway? The second Town Trooper? How did you
15:10
Speaker 1: get the role? Well? Yeah, how did you get the role?
15:12
Speaker 1: You think you think you think it was But you
15:15
Speaker 1: had to come in an audition, right are you? Were
15:17
Speaker 1: you just offered the part? I think I might have
15:19
Speaker 1: been off of the part or auditioned like don't mess
15:22
Speaker 1: it up, one of those kind of things, just so
15:23
Speaker 1: you know. Scott, for example, I did audition for the
15:26
Speaker 1: part of Mr Rosso and Freaks and Geeks, but I
15:28
Speaker 1: had to go in. It was written for me, basically
15:30
Speaker 1: like we need a hippie counselor for the high school.
15:33
Speaker 1: And so I believe Second Trooper or I had the
15:36
Speaker 1: great recommendation. I'm sure it had to be grantly looking
15:39
Speaker 1: out for me and saying, you know what, if you
15:41
Speaker 1: can't get a real musician get a pretty good fake,
15:44
Speaker 1: one good grouper. So I have a feeling that's what
15:47
Speaker 1: it is. And maybe they had me come in and
15:49
Speaker 1: just read it Scott, I don't recall like and just
15:52
Speaker 1: if he doesn't screw up, then yes we'll give him
15:54
Speaker 1: the part. It might have been like that, right, right, right?
15:57
Speaker 1: So do you remember your first day on the set? Uh? No,
16:02
Speaker 1: I do not, except remember the first phone call I
16:04
Speaker 1: had with your amazing team there, and they said, what
16:08
Speaker 1: are you gonna sing? And I go, I don't know.
16:10
Speaker 1: I was gonna see going down the Road feeling bad? Right, Oh?
16:13
Speaker 1: And I remember what I was gonna say about Wilson
16:15
Speaker 1: Junior High. So going down the Road feeling bad it's
16:18
Speaker 1: a grateful, dead cover of an old timey folk song.
16:21
Speaker 1: But then I had this long conversation with the music
16:24
Speaker 1: clearance team, and boy, you want a busy job music
16:28
Speaker 1: clearance for the Gilmurg girls. Are you kidding me? Right?
16:31
Speaker 1: That would be like the busiest job ever in show business.
16:35
Speaker 1: They're delving, They're delving into every genre of music pretty much,
16:38
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. And it's just it's endless between Grant
16:41
Speaker 1: Lee's original songs, whatnot and just all the songs and
16:43
Speaker 1: all the artists you've had on and so I'm sorry,
16:46
Speaker 1: I gotta flashback real quick. People, when I was working
16:49
Speaker 1: at Wilson Junior High in Glendale, and again you and
16:52
Speaker 1: I two months apart, my friend. All the students would
16:55
Speaker 1: ask me, hey, Mr aland are you a hippie? And
16:58
Speaker 1: I would explain, well, I was ten when the hip
17:00
Speaker 1: these were getting hippiefied, So yeah, I embraced the hippie gig.
17:05
Speaker 1: But no it was not. So that clears that up.
17:08
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it was Grantly Phillips. I'm gonna say
17:10
Speaker 1: I don't remember my first day on set, but I
17:12
Speaker 1: remember a day with Jamie Babbitt when we get to
17:15
Speaker 1: that episode. Okay, so right, well that this is the episode,
17:19
Speaker 1: this is the episode week this is you with the
17:22
Speaker 1: the the the the open air market, the vegetable moment
17:26
Speaker 1: was that and that was Jamie directing that. Okay, I
17:30
Speaker 1: love everything about Jamie Babbott. Let's just make that clear
17:34
Speaker 1: right up top, okay. And then she said the most
17:37
Speaker 1: gil More Girlean thing to me that I think in
17:40
Speaker 1: those four times that I visited, I think I ever heard. Um.
17:44
Speaker 1: It was some complicated scene. Maybe a jib shot or
17:47
Speaker 1: something like. Something was going on uber at the focus
17:50
Speaker 1: of it, and she took me aside, super quietly, super cool.
17:54
Speaker 1: Did not bring this up in front of the other
17:57
Speaker 1: in front of the writers, in front of the producers,
17:58
Speaker 1: in front of the other cast, and she just quietly
18:01
Speaker 1: said to me, Gruber, doing great out there. You're like
18:03
Speaker 1: real supportive, you know what I mean. Scott's just all
18:05
Speaker 1: about you know, you're doing great. Everything's cool. Could you
18:08
Speaker 1: tie those lines together? Because I was doing these sort
18:13
Speaker 1: of pinter pauses William Schattner I don't know what I
18:16
Speaker 1: was doing williams Chattner thing or Harold pinter pauses, and
18:20
Speaker 1: she just quietly said, Grouber, you know, it would be
18:23
Speaker 1: great if you just pull those lines. And I go, oh,
18:26
Speaker 1: you mean, like every line ever said in a Gilmore
18:29
Speaker 1: Girls episode. I go, thank you, Jamie got it. I'll
18:32
Speaker 1: do my best. And it worked because that, you know
18:35
Speaker 1: what I mean? They all flowed beautifully together because you
18:38
Speaker 1: were very smooth in this. That was that was the
18:40
Speaker 1: sensation I was getting listening to you. You're acting. It's
18:43
Speaker 1: so easy to sit back and listen to because it's
18:45
Speaker 1: so smooth and cool and funny. Thanks, you really stole
18:49
Speaker 1: this episode. You're seriously without without overdoing it. You know,
18:54
Speaker 1: the writing is super strong because it all starts with
18:56
Speaker 1: the writing, right, you know. But then I gotta say
18:59
Speaker 1: Jamie because she was so cool about it, like I
19:02
Speaker 1: could have fought it, like I'm gonna do it, by
19:04
Speaker 1: the way, and she's like, just try this. You know this.
19:07
Speaker 1: I think she even said it was one of those
19:08
Speaker 1: things where you give the actor a choice. And so
19:10
Speaker 1: Jamie really came through for me and then set me
19:12
Speaker 1: up for the next three episodes after that. You know
19:14
Speaker 1: what I mean that I was in you, but thank
19:17
Speaker 1: you for your good words. Oh no, there was there's
19:20
Speaker 1: no other option but to do you know, to to
19:23
Speaker 1: string it all together. I mean, yeah, taking a pinteresque
19:26
Speaker 1: pause no oh no, no, recommended the time for that.
19:32
Speaker 1: Uh So, your relationship with Taylor Dosie Michael Winners did delightful.
19:39
Speaker 1: It wasn't he What was your off screen relationship Like,
19:42
Speaker 1: did you guys click right away or what was that? Like?
19:45
Speaker 1: I think we did. You know what I looked to him?
19:47
Speaker 1: He liked you and many of the others in your
19:49
Speaker 1: cast as an actor actor, right, so you know we
19:52
Speaker 1: just kind of talked about that kind of stuff, you know, like, hey,
19:55
Speaker 1: what have you been in? What are you doing? How's
19:57
Speaker 1: your Because he's an actual the interactor, is he not right,
20:00
Speaker 1: he's a big, big classical actor. Yeah, yeah, so we
20:04
Speaker 1: I think we talked a little about that and Scott,
20:06
Speaker 1: you know what, if there was podcast at the time,
20:09
Speaker 1: all I did was talking with your cast about what
20:12
Speaker 1: they were doing. So they were always happy to have
20:14
Speaker 1: me and let's have some fun. But when you set
20:16
Speaker 1: off screen relationship that was the same unfixing geeks to
20:19
Speaker 1: where I just wanted to go, where are you from,
20:21
Speaker 1: what are you doing? What's your gig? You know that
20:23
Speaker 1: was because I'm always curious about people and want to
20:25
Speaker 1: learn more about them. So I'm sure I just found out,
20:28
Speaker 1: Oh he's as cool as he looks On dav with Michael, Um,
20:34
Speaker 1: how would you describe the character of Taylor Dozy? And
20:39
Speaker 1: I described the character Taylor Dozy? Oh wow, I don't
20:43
Speaker 1: know that's I really have nothing for that. Um kind
20:48
Speaker 1: of uh, you know what, maybe a fly in the
20:50
Speaker 1: ointment that a bit of a gad fly, lovable gad fly.
20:57
Speaker 1: He certainly had his opinion of you, that's for sure.
21:00
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, not pretty thick, I mean he uh.
21:03
Speaker 1: He referred to you as the long haired freaks of
21:05
Speaker 1: van Halen hair his her suit hippie rapunzel. I think
21:09
Speaker 1: there were a couple of van Halen hair he called you,
21:13
Speaker 1: I think two or three different names in the town
21:15
Speaker 1: hall meeting in that episode. It was hysterical. What's funny too,
21:18
Speaker 1: is that by doing van Halen hair he gets he gets,
21:21
Speaker 1: you know, one point for that, because if he's talking
21:24
Speaker 1: to David lee Roth van Halen, then yeah, man, I'll
21:27
Speaker 1: take it. That's a nice you know, it's a nice
21:29
Speaker 1: head of hair at the time, right, you know, I
21:32
Speaker 1: kind of apology Matty hair here right now though, um
21:36
Speaker 1: Dwayne Johnson hair right here. Check out the buddy between
21:40
Speaker 1: Johnson kind of yeah it is. Yeah, You're you seem
21:49
Speaker 1: to be very similar to your character and Gilmore. Are
21:53
Speaker 1: you always this happy and cheery? Just like just like
21:57
Speaker 1: your character in in in the show. I would say
22:01
Speaker 1: this in front of other people because I love other people,
22:05
Speaker 1: and I love my friends and I love my family.
22:07
Speaker 1: I would say yes, I am that cheery and positive
22:11
Speaker 1: in person. When I'm by myself, I get all bummed
22:14
Speaker 1: out and I deal with all that stuff later. But
22:17
Speaker 1: in a seriously answer to your question, I would say
22:20
Speaker 1: the second true but or is a direct sort of
22:24
Speaker 1: projection of what my real life is around other people.
22:29
Speaker 1: I'm happy and I try and make that situation happier
22:32
Speaker 1: or more positive. You can talk to my ex wife
22:36
Speaker 1: and some girlfriends in my life and they'd say, wow,
22:38
Speaker 1: I did not see that guy. That's true too well.
22:44
Speaker 1: Certain people, we didn't even meet that guy. Certain people
22:47
Speaker 1: bring out you know, they bring out different energy and
22:50
Speaker 1: you you know, it's like if you connect with people,
22:54
Speaker 1: then it's wonderful, but if you don't, it can get
22:56
Speaker 1: a little Yeah. Um, so what was it your favorite
23:00
Speaker 1: character to play on the show? From that you played
23:02
Speaker 1: the proprietor, the minister and the second Troubadoor was the
23:05
Speaker 1: favorite one? Was it? Was it the Troubadour second Troubador.
23:08
Speaker 1: I think he was the second tributor at the very
23:10
Speaker 1: first appearance because it had that crazy town Hall meeting.
23:14
Speaker 1: Uh if you remember that episode. Um, I actually grantly
23:19
Speaker 1: and I write the Troubadour via Troubadour, we actually link
23:23
Speaker 1: up at the end so we don't fight. The fighting
23:25
Speaker 1: is over right, Taylor is his decision has put aside
23:29
Speaker 1: and we are together. So I would say, just that
23:31
Speaker 1: it established that this guy might come back, Scott, I
23:34
Speaker 1: would go, let's go with the first first appearance of
23:37
Speaker 1: the second Troubadoor, because it just set the pace then
23:40
Speaker 1: so I could open my vegetable stand home grown by
23:43
Speaker 1: the way, right, those are all mind supposedly grown. And
23:46
Speaker 1: then if you remember, at the end of that episode,
23:48
Speaker 1: he goes off to Palestine in isdriel Is to try
23:51
Speaker 1: and solve some problems. There was a great line to
23:55
Speaker 1: the drill, I'm gonna plant some seeds, spread some peace,
23:58
Speaker 1: you know, this kind of thing. I laughed so hard.
24:00
Speaker 1: I laughed harder on your stuff than in that show
24:05
Speaker 1: that was You were my biggest laugh in that whole episode.
24:07
Speaker 1: That was just thanks pleasure that I couldn't understand why
24:12
Speaker 1: you weren't in more episodes. I mean, you just told
24:14
Speaker 1: me four and I was like, what, my god? What
24:16
Speaker 1: were you just not available? I'm sure, Scott. The other
24:22
Speaker 1: thing I must tell you about my career is, oh,
24:25
Speaker 1: I'm available. I'm around. So I'm gonna I'm gonna say no,
24:30
Speaker 1: I was available. What I mean, you know what it
24:34
Speaker 1: could have been let's discuss something here. You know what
24:36
Speaker 1: it could have been. Because I was doing a little reading,
24:39
Speaker 1: trying to prep for my time with Scott right my
24:42
Speaker 1: new favorite podcast. Um, I was I'm a tall man.
24:46
Speaker 1: So here's what I heard. I think you came in
24:48
Speaker 1: at number three of the tallest of the casts, a shrimp.
24:52
Speaker 1: Are you're rocking six two? Where are you going? Six one? Now?
24:55
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like six one barely, okay, so we'll give
24:59
Speaker 1: you six one right, rounding up. And then I heard
25:02
Speaker 1: ed Herman at six five five and Jared six four
25:05
Speaker 1: or six five? Yeah. Yeah, So here's the thing, I'm
25:08
Speaker 1: six five. I think it was I was too tall.
25:11
Speaker 1: I think they said, you know what, we'd have to
25:13
Speaker 1: frame this differently, Jamie Babbitt and Amy when she was
25:16
Speaker 1: directing the episodes, She's like, I don't think we can
25:19
Speaker 1: fit him in the frame, right, I don't think. I
25:21
Speaker 1: don't think maybe maybe that's it. I don't think that
25:23
Speaker 1: they they managed with ed Herman, they managed with Jared beautifully.
25:27
Speaker 1: I don't think that's ed Herman with a jip shot. Yeah. Angle.
25:31
Speaker 1: You notice all the Herman scenes are wide angle shots.
25:35
Speaker 1: Noticed that well, you know he yeah, yeah, maybe I
25:39
Speaker 1: just I'm not I'm not buying that, you're I had
25:44
Speaker 1: the best time in the Gilmbo girls, I'm not kidding you, right.
25:46
Speaker 1: Evidence treated me super nice and it was super fun,
25:49
Speaker 1: So I got no complaints at all. It was it
25:51
Speaker 1: was the time for me to do first things too.
25:53
Speaker 1: When I did the Minister. If you notice in that
25:56
Speaker 1: scene speaking of jim shots and whatever aerial shots, I
26:00
Speaker 1: walked all the way from the back up over the gazebo,
26:03
Speaker 1: through the band right down those stairs. It was the
26:05
Speaker 1: first time, Scott that I got to use one of
26:07
Speaker 1: those ear pieces. I don't know the term for them,
26:09
Speaker 1: but it was I think it's called an earpiece. Okay,
26:15
Speaker 1: I think that's what they Professor Fression names apiece. And
26:18
Speaker 1: I was, but it was that's executive producer. Do you know?
26:24
Speaker 1: That's exactly different things too when you're on set all
26:29
Speaker 1: the time and here and so that's what happened in
26:31
Speaker 1: that scene is people were talking and I could hear
26:33
Speaker 1: the dialogue going, and I'm like, oh, man, don't mess
26:35
Speaker 1: this up. And you play guitar right, your guitar player right, Okay,
26:39
Speaker 1: So I'm like, going, is that the right chord? I
26:42
Speaker 1: don't want to mess this up. I have lines to remember.
26:45
Speaker 1: I need to sing the song that Dan wrote, which
26:47
Speaker 1: is a nutty song by the way, one of my
26:49
Speaker 1: favorite rhymes, because you're a songwriter, A don't you dig
26:53
Speaker 1: this rhyme? If you remember the song? It was about
26:55
Speaker 1: toys and love being like toys. Okay that the ministers saying.
26:58
Speaker 1: Remember that? Okay, yeah, and so um here's my favorite
27:03
Speaker 1: rhyme from there, Barrel of Monkeys, Your Battleship Sunk Me?
27:09
Speaker 1: Please recall the joy? So the song that the minister
27:13
Speaker 1: says was about, uh, when kids you play with toys,
27:17

Speaker 1: show Love on Netflix, right, and that's something you can see.
32:24
Speaker 1: It's out there, it's on your Netflix and it was
32:26
Speaker 1: a short two season, so it would be a great
32:28
Speaker 1: bench watch. I'm gonna encourage that we shot an episode
32:32
Speaker 1: at the Oakwood Apartments. Did you ever stay there, Scott? No,
32:35
Speaker 1: I drove by it every day to going to work, though,
32:38
Speaker 1: of course you did, right, And I've got somebody on
32:40
Speaker 1: the Gilmore's cast stade at Oakwood because, yeah, so we're
32:45
Speaker 1: shooting an episode outside where we're on the roof of
32:47
Speaker 1: the Oakwood apartments that you drove by every day, and
32:50
Speaker 1: they were shooting the the reboots, right, the four episode reboots,
32:57
Speaker 1: And is there an episode that has like fireworks or
33:00
Speaker 1: go crazy? Yeah, So here's the thing. Talk to your people,
33:04
Speaker 1: talk to talk to your fans, talk to your fan base,
33:08
Speaker 1: and say whatever that scene was, whether it was I
33:10
Speaker 1: think there's fireworks or explosions or music or something going on.
33:15
Speaker 1: We were filming a scene on the roof of the
33:17
Speaker 1: oak Wood Apartments and here was a line. Just tuck
33:20
Speaker 1: this in your you know, in your book of stuff
33:23
Speaker 1: about Gilmo Girls. The line from our I guess it
33:28
Speaker 1: would be first Dad, right, The line for our first
33:30
Speaker 1: city would have been hold for Gilmore Girls, Hold for
33:34
Speaker 1: Because we'd start the scene, Scott, and there was like
33:38
Speaker 1: it was flashlights. It was at night, right, so we're
33:40
Speaker 1: flashlights and gun play or knives or something, and it
33:44
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, we gotta sneak up on him. It
33:46
Speaker 1: was like one of those things being super quiet, and
33:48
Speaker 1: then you'd hear, hey, something going on on the Warner
33:53
Speaker 1: Brothers lot and the first dad would go hold for
33:55
Speaker 1: gil Muo girls and they were not happy about them.
33:57
Speaker 1: I think I think that was the wedding. I think
34:00
Speaker 1: that was the way of the wedding cell, the little
34:02
Speaker 1: wedding something maybe. And there were yeah, there were all
34:05
Speaker 1: kinds of things going on. Yeah, there was no gender revealed.
34:08
Speaker 1: That was before that. Yeah, that's yeah, that's before yeah, right,
34:13
Speaker 1: But so Scott, whatever it was, it was funny because
34:15
Speaker 1: it kept going on. You know, they had you guys
34:16
Speaker 1: had to reshoot whatever you're doing down there, and we're
34:19
Speaker 1: just trying to get the scene done outside on the
34:21
Speaker 1: top of the Oakwood departments, and the funny line were
34:24
Speaker 1: just laughing old for gil mug Girls, old for girl muggirls. Man.
34:27
Speaker 1: How many people heard that over the years, right, especially
34:31
Speaker 1: especially on the Warner Brothers Law. It's like, then, again, Jesus,
34:36
Speaker 1: we have the whole you know, we had the whole
34:37
Speaker 1: back lot. So a lot of people had to hold
34:39
Speaker 1: Phil Gilmore girls when we were shooting right, if we're
34:41
Speaker 1: shooting at yeah, exactly. You have the whole back lot.
34:44
Speaker 1: You pretty much control the studio. Um, that's great. Um, Hey,
34:49
Speaker 1: I like hearing that you jam. That's pretty cool. I
34:52
Speaker 1: love that a lot. What he's such a great songwriter
34:56
Speaker 1: and he's such a great performer and singers. He's so
35:00
Speaker 1: got everything. Let me let's take a minute in praise
35:03
Speaker 1: of Grantly Phillips and played in craise of men. Um.
35:07
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, everything about him, his voice, his character,
35:10
Speaker 1: his personality, his songwriting, a bill, his guitar playing. It's
35:14
Speaker 1: crazy good. So I can I can share. Here's another
35:17
Speaker 1: here's another gils connection to Uh. In the episode Partyings Right,
35:22
Speaker 1: Marylynn Rice Scott appears and she's also singing right. So
35:25
Speaker 1: she was part of Girls Guitar Club. Her and Karen
35:28
Speaker 1: Garret had a duo that played at Where Largo. Okay,
35:31
Speaker 1: so we all knew each other from way back when
35:33
Speaker 1: I remember shows that Grantly Phillips will put on with
35:36
Speaker 1: Mary Lynn Rice variety shows where I was. I think
35:39
Speaker 1: I was the fake warm up guy. Uh Scott. This
35:42
Speaker 1: is going deep gruber, but I had a character. It
35:45
Speaker 1: was a fake warm up guy named Todd Carlin, and
35:48
Speaker 1: it was he was supposedly like a nephew of George
35:50
Speaker 1: Colin or something, right, so there you go. Um, But
35:54
Speaker 1: I think I played Todd Carlin in the Grantly Phillips
35:57
Speaker 1: and Maryland Rice scob variety show at Largo, so I
36:01
Speaker 1: knew her from way back then too, you know what
36:03
Speaker 1: I mean. And Grantly and mary Lynn we're friends and
36:05
Speaker 1: put on these great shows, hilarious, musical everything you want
36:09
Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go down
36:12
Speaker 1: to Nashville and write some songs with some some artists
36:16
Speaker 1: down there. Um, and I'm gonna you know, Grants down there,
36:21
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm probably gonna I'm probably gonna hook up
36:23
Speaker 1: with him. And maybe you know, I'm I'm terrified or
36:26
Speaker 1: performing anymore because I don't know that I'm very good
36:28
Speaker 1: at it, but it just terrifies me to to to
36:32
Speaker 1: to sing and play the guitar. So I don't know
36:34
Speaker 1: if I'm actually going to do that part of it
36:36
Speaker 1: because they want me to play at the Bluebird and
36:39
Speaker 1: put on a whole show. But I mean, I toured
36:41
Speaker 1: four years ago, and I you know, when you do
36:44
Speaker 1: that you're kind of rock solid and you you get
36:46
Speaker 1: all your confidence going and it's easy. But man, it's
36:48
Speaker 1: been a while so I'm terrified of it. So anyway,
36:52
Speaker 1: but I'll hook up with Grant when I'm down there.
36:55
Speaker 1: Do you know what, You get around to him and
36:57
Speaker 1: you can get back to there, you can get back
36:59
Speaker 1: to their right well, yeah, I mean it takes a
37:02
Speaker 1: lot of practice. You know, you just got You just
37:03
Speaker 1: have to put the time in, that's all. And at
37:06
Speaker 1: the time is something I have very little love. This
37:08
Speaker 1: show has blessed Bliss blissfully taken over my life, which
37:12
Speaker 1: is unexpected, but it happened very quickly. But anyway, so
37:16
Speaker 1: share some of your other, uh fond memories of being
37:21
Speaker 1: on set with on Gil. Did you have any scenes
37:24
Speaker 1: with Lauren? I'm gonna say no, anything went no you
37:29
Speaker 1: did you at the cash register? Okay? Remember you ordered? Yeah, passing.
37:37
Speaker 1: I would say there's no big old, no big old
37:39
Speaker 1: scenes because it was mostly with Michael Taylor. And I'm
37:45
Speaker 1: gonna say that was the most because those were the
37:47
Speaker 1: uh the standoffs, you know what I mean. And then
37:50
Speaker 1: that crazy a fond memory was the what do you
37:54
Speaker 1: call it? Uh town hall scene? Because that was all
37:57
Speaker 1: my favorite people in one room making funny comments and stuff.
38:01
Speaker 1: So that was pretty great. You guys came in late,
38:03
Speaker 1: by the way, that was part of the stick of
38:05
Speaker 1: that one. But even like Mike Gan Dolphie, who I
38:08
Speaker 1: know from the l a commedty scene he was in
38:10
Speaker 1: the room. It's like, oh my gosh, all these cool people,
38:12
Speaker 1: all my favorite people, and a very nutty scene. By
38:15
Speaker 1: the way, Grantly also one more thing in praise of Grant,
38:18
Speaker 1: he really took his acting seriously because I remember being there,
38:23
Speaker 1: and you know Gruber, he's a bit of a goof.
38:26
Speaker 1: I mean, I get worried and I get nervous, and
38:27
Speaker 1: I try and memorize my lines, and as per Jamie Babbitt,
38:30
Speaker 1: I try and put it together. That's the key to
38:31
Speaker 1: get put him together, put your minds together. But I
38:36
Speaker 1: remember Grant was really trying to get it exactly right
38:38
Speaker 1: because it was a big scene for him. You remember,
38:41
Speaker 1: you know, he had mines, he had had a close up.
38:43
Speaker 1: He almost had a close up. They had to punching
38:46
Speaker 1: real close to him when he woke up and he said, hey,
38:48
Speaker 1: you there, you know, and he and he had a
38:50
Speaker 1: whole deal and he played that little little couple of
38:53
Speaker 1: bars of a song and it was just good stuff.
38:55
Speaker 1: So that was a super fun memory. And then let
38:57
Speaker 1: me take you to uh remember I mentioned before that
39:01
Speaker 1: we had a comedy group when we first moved to
39:02
Speaker 1: l A. Steve Higgins, Dave Higgins, and I called don't
39:05
Speaker 1: quit your day job. Another of my day job, believe
39:08
Speaker 1: it or not, was a bicycle mail messenger at Warner Brothers.
39:14
Speaker 1: So they had a weird call for it was like
39:16
Speaker 1: open call for like people to work at Warner Brothers.
39:19
Speaker 1: And I go in there and the human resources guy,
39:21
Speaker 1: I don't remember his name, but he was so nice
39:23
Speaker 1: because he hired me and I got to work in
39:25
Speaker 1: the mail room and ride a bike around. This is
39:27
Speaker 1: an old this is old school days right way back
39:30
Speaker 1: when when I first moved there eighty six. But so
39:34
Speaker 1: then to come back there all those years later, right
39:38
Speaker 1: and perform at the Gilmore Girl on the Gridmo Girls,
39:40
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, I remember riding a bike pass
39:42
Speaker 1: here to mal Passo Productions deliver something to Clin Eastwood
39:46
Speaker 1: or you know what I mean. Yeah, I remember we're
39:48
Speaker 1: staying outside of Ellen de generes Uh studio where she
39:53
Speaker 1: and mal passed us right across the street. Oh there
39:56
Speaker 1: he goes, you know, and we had some time. We're
39:58
Speaker 1: so so because we were working on that sound stage
40:00
Speaker 1: right across from al right, across from mal Passa when
40:03
Speaker 1: we're doing the Red right we that's the sound stage.
40:05
Speaker 1: We were on one of the sound stage. We had
40:06
Speaker 1: a couple of them, and uh, I kept trying to,
40:09
Speaker 1: you know, crane my head around to see if I could, like,
40:11
Speaker 1: is Clinton there? And I was gonna walk in. That's hey,
40:16
Speaker 1: big fan. I mean with Clint, not Allen. But you know,
40:21
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I understand. All right, So
40:29
Speaker 1: we're gonna do rapid fire. Okay, have you heard about
40:33
Speaker 1: rapid fire? I have not heard about. Do you have
40:36
Speaker 1: a seatbelt? Happy to do it? I understand the idea
40:38
Speaker 1: of rapid fire. I mean, buckle up, here we go, ready,
40:41
Speaker 1: But guess what's got I will say this. You're doing
40:44
Speaker 1: rapid fire. I'm doing a slow motion, smooth grouper. You
40:47
Speaker 1: actually highlighted my smoothness. So whether or not the whether
40:51
Speaker 1: or not the responses or rapid I don't know. But
40:53
Speaker 1: you may run. You know, you do your thing? Do
40:56
Speaker 1: you thing? All right? How do you take your coffee
41:00
Speaker 1: with half and half. Don't you mention that can you
41:02
Speaker 1: smell snow? Can I smell snow? Uh? Hopefully not. Let's
41:09
Speaker 1: put it that way. I'm thinking of a Frank's episode.
41:12
Speaker 1: So there you go. And these next two questions, I'm
41:15
Speaker 1: going to eliminate them from rapid fire because I'm tired
41:18
Speaker 1: of asking them. So I'm not gonna ask you these questions.
41:21
Speaker 1: You can substitute two new ones. I will kay, okay, ready,
41:25
Speaker 1: what kind of do you shampoo? And conditioner? And just shampoo?
41:30
Speaker 1: I go shampoo, and can't you tell conditioner? And you
41:35
Speaker 1: know what I do, Scott, I beat the system because
41:37
Speaker 1: I go Upscale product. I won't name it, but then
41:40
Speaker 1: I wait till it goes on set, so it's Upscale
41:43
Speaker 1: hair carry products, but then are only on sale. So
41:46
Speaker 1: both I go both. Who are you rooting for in
41:49
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or did you care? I did not
41:52
Speaker 1: care because the Green Bay Packers were not in it.
41:54
Speaker 1: So as a guy born in Milwaukee, I have to
41:57
Speaker 1: by law, I have to root the packers. I would
42:00
Speaker 1: have gone bears because I grew up in Illinois. Yeah, Danny,
42:03
Speaker 1: ELSs go pack go. You got it, all right? So
42:06
Speaker 1: that's what I would say. If the Packers were in it,
42:08
Speaker 1: I would have rooted from them. You're a cheesehead. I
42:11
Speaker 1: love it. Uh. The show that you're binge watching right now, Uh,
42:17
Speaker 1: you know what it is, and it's it's kind of
42:21
Speaker 1: funny because there's crossover. I'm gonna call it crossover. The
42:23
Speaker 1: show that I probably watched most of all because I
42:27
Speaker 1: don't have Netflix. I have a iPad from Y three,
42:30
Speaker 1: so all against is those shows. Um. The show that
42:35
Speaker 1: I've beene watching is All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC.
42:40
Speaker 1: I never miss it. It's called All In with Chris
42:47
Speaker 1: Hayes on MSNBC or what they like to call m
42:50
Speaker 1: s LSD. The opposition calls it MSLSD. Anyway, probably more
42:57
Speaker 1: than any of the best memory of Gilmore Girls. Best
43:02
Speaker 1: memory of Gilmore Girls was the spreta Core. I don't
43:06
Speaker 1: want to get all French. Don you get all French?
43:09
Speaker 1: Just get all French. I gotta drop, I gotta drop
43:11
Speaker 1: some French spree to Core from the table reads to
43:16
Speaker 1: you know, costuming to Dan Pelladine or writing some goofy
43:20
Speaker 1: lyrics that he wanted me to do, you know or whatever,
43:24
Speaker 1: was like, Wow, this is. And here's the thing, because
43:26
Speaker 1: you've heard the Scott before, where you go something something
43:29
Speaker 1: is a well oiled machine, you know whatever, some show
43:33
Speaker 1: was a well oiled machine. This was not a machine.
43:35
Speaker 1: This was an organic, breathing body of joy that that
43:40
Speaker 1: show really was. Okay, it was all that. So what
43:44
Speaker 1: was the question? Didn't I answer it? You did? Okay?
43:49
Speaker 1: That was I mean, it was best girls, but you
43:52
