• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you doing, Todd? Is it true you were a substitute
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: teacher before acting? What was your favorite subject to teach?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: If that is true? And I know it is true,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: but tell us a little bit about that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I worked as I was.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I went to I grew up in Texas, and I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: went to school at the University of Texas in Austin,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and I did a lot of museum education as a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: side hustle. And there was one time when I was
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: asked to substitute in at a monasory school, and I
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: had no training as into the monassory education disciplines. So
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I basically found myself just like a babysitter, trying not
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to say the word no because it's a different type
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: of discipline. So I found myself saying no students, I mean,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: don't But I did that for maybe a week, but
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: most of my stuff was in museum education.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, So what was the role that got you out
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of teaching?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Well? Help it was well.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: First of all, what got me out of Austin was
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: love because my girlfriend at the time got accepted into
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: USC for grad school.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I had booked a.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Couple little jobs in Texas and was SAG eligible, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: it made sense to come to La with her. We
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: didn't last very long and I came out here. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: worked at the Children's Museum of Los Angeles. Then they
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: kind of knew that I had aspirations of being an actor.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I got cast in a play at South Coast Repertory
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: in Orange County and went down there. I got my
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: equity card exposure to a better agent, which signed me,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and then I was living on unemployment two week and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: kind of quit teaching. And then Gilmore Girls kind of happened,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and I thought it was just one episode. In fact,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the same week I had gotten a part on a
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: small little part on NYPD Blue, and I wanted to
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: take that because my parents watched that show, and.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't know anything about Gilmore Girls, and.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: My agent wisely steered me.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It's like, no, I think you want to do this
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls show, and there's going to be a few
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: more appearances, and then bam it turned into like forty
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: five episodes and kind of got my career going.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: What did your agent tell you about the show that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: was so special about it that you had to do it?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: They said, it's the comedy. The pacing is very unique.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It lends itself to actors who have had stage work
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: with the memorizations and the rhythm of the dialogue, and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: actors who have had a little bit of stage work
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: maybe tend to do a little better on that show.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And I thought, he said, I think it suits your
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: skill set as opposed to just being some bad guy
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: or junkie or whatever the hell the role was on
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: in my PD Blue And yeah, wisely it turned out
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: off for the best.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I tell you, we're getting into season five. We we're
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: ten episodes into season five, and you're finally getting some
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: really juicy stuff to do with Lane. You know, the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: relationship is becoming really interesting. You're able to show different
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: colors and it's really riveting.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Oh that's good. Fortunately for me, Adam Brody Dave Rigowski got.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: A bigger job with a on another show, So I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: guess I was next in line. I think because he
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: was slated to be Lane's love interests and then fell
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: into my lap and lucky me.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Big shoes to fill for sure. And we have we
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: have noted that as as the chemistry was coming together
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: between between Zach and Lane, and now it's really blossomed
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: where we're just loving what you're doing. Now, you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: your skills as an actor are really coming to the four,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: not that they weren't before, but now it's like there's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: this other side to Zach, this vulnerable side, which is fascinating.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely fascinating how you're handling it. Do you remember
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: getting the scripts and seeing that, Oh, yay, I get
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to do you know, I get to show some different
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: colors here?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: And oh of course.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I mean I think every actor when we get a script,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: we immediately flip to where's my where's my character's Then
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'll read the whole episode after.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I go through all my stuff.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But I'm seeing, oh, I'm liking Lane with their glasses
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and there's going to be a kiss, and yeah, that's
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: just it's just delicious. I got something new to go there.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, Zach's kind of adult and I sometimes I
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: maybe I made some easy choices, just making them a
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: little dim and but and the writers found my voice
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and my rhythms and my cadence, so it wasn't a
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: difficult second.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Skin to step into and put on.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Just it fit and then you can speak honestly and emotionally.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And then I thought Kiko and I had a pretty
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: nice chemistry. And I'm glad to hear that some people
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: think it came across on the screen.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Oh it really does. And I hear you judging your
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: character and your work describing him as adult. He I'll
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: tell you, from my point of view and our point
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of view, the comedy really pomped because of that choice.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So I wouldn't question it. I thought it was actually
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: kind of brilliant. And I think by making him that way,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: now this other side that's coming out is so surprising
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and it is fun. It's so much fun to watch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Now we're all like, we need more Zach and Lane.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here questioning what took them so long?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And Why didn't they use you? They know you, they
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: know you have chops, they know you could pull it off.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Why didn't they use you? Know your character could have
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: become as relevant in the show as you know? Gosh,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: who can I compare it to? Who? You know?
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: It could have?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You could have, You could have and should have had
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: as much work to do as Lane. You know what
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I mean? I mean, did you ever Here's a question
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I already know the answer to, but I'm gonna ask
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you anyway. Did you ever approach producers and say, hey,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I'd love some more. What do you think? Did you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: ever feel like you could contribute more and wanted to
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and said that to producers because I think the show
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: really benefits from it.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I certainly felt that, but I didn't want to stir
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: any feathers and ruffle any feathers.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: And stir the pots and be a squeaky wheel. I
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: was grateful to what they.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Gave me, and Amy and her staff like they did.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: It built for a while, but it was I did
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: get a lot to contribute, and the music stuff was
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: fun to do, and getting together with Helen Pie and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: having band rehearsals and learning what song we were going
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to do that week, and I can play the guitar
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: a little bit, so I got to use that skill.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: And I'm no, I didn't go and ask them. I
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: didn't have that kind of confidence to say, hey, right
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: for me more.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I'm just I was just grateful to be on the show.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Right. What's happening now between Zach and Lane is terrific.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: It's it's as entertaining and as funny as anything that's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: been on that show.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: How good.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It's shocking. It's really shocking that they laid off the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: gas on that character for so long and now look
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: what it's producing. Is I I hope there's more of it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never seen the series, so I'm
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: watching it for the first time each time, and then
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: we're doing a podcast about it. But I hope there's more.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Don't tell me. I don't want to. I don't want
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: this surprise to be ruined.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't know that.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: You were so uninformed, Scott, incredibly uninformed when it comes
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to this show.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Well, it's like, you know, I was doing it all
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the time. I didn't want to go home and watch it, right,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: You had longer hours than I did, and I can
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: understand getting figged right.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I just I just needed to get away from it.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just like recharge. So you've been well. No, actually,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the auditioning process. Do you tell me
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: about the audition and did you know once you got
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it that Zach would be a long standing character.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: What I remember from the audition is I came in.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: They wanted a guitar and they wanted me to sing,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: just do any kind of performance with a guitar. So
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I was playing in a little kind of a comedy
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: band where we were this German pop band and we
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: were playing just at clubs in Hollywood, and I had
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: translated a pixie song which is where Is My Mind?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: And I translated it into German in a very bad
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: kind of broken German, but enough to where the cadence
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: and the words would line up. So I sang that
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Pixie song in German and they liked it and they said,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: what else do you have?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: And I don't know. I think I sang a Smith
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: song or something.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And they said thank you, and then I don't know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: a few hours later, I got a call and it's
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: you love to get those calls.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: It's like be there on Thursday.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, So you translated a Pixie song into German.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I had already had that in my pocket and was performing.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: It and and what and can you give us just
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: a brief sample of it if you can remember anything?
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, him on trick on being nice. Yeah, then climb
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: and fish bumping to me. Yeah, I'm a cross, try
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: to wait? Wait wait? Bo is Mine cult? Where is
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: my mind? Oh? Is mine Cult? That was the song?
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And you would perform this live, yeah, with a
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: band with a band, and people.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Would love it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: The audience was Yeah, they were in on the joke
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and they loved it. And I playing a.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Little bar band right now, and it's still in the
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: set list.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's wonderful. That's really good stuff. It's well, yeah,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: let's talk about those bands. You've been a part of
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a couple different bands, so that made Zach and easy
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: fit for you. Tell us a little bit about the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: band you're playing in, right, Oh.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I've been playing in different bar bands. It's not my
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: first pursuit. My first pursuit is an actor, and I
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: have a little bit of not contempt, but I certainly
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: don't want to go see some actors band.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I don't care how good Kevin Bacon's band is.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I'd rather see Kevin Bacon in a movie and if
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: it's there, I'll sit and watch, but I don't really
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: want to pay a ticket. And same thing with Billy
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Bob Thornton Keanu Reeves is like, I like you guys
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: doing that.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Don't be a rock star?
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: You know what? You know what I found, I so
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: agree with you. I can't agree with you more because
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I saw I was so curious about Billy Bob Thornton's band,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and I watched a couple of videos and he made
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: he made actual videos that were, like, you know, pretty
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: good production value. They spent some money on his videos.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: And the band's great and the music great. He's not
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a front man. He's got no energy. I'm sorry. I mean,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: he's just not a good singer. He's not. And God
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: bless him for being out there and doing it and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: getting all the fun. And I understand that impulse because
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I did it too. And but that's the thing. It's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know as well as I do. You know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: having a great front man is everything. If you don't
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: have that, you're not gonna go to the top, you
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: might not even go to the middle right, right, And
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: it's amazing how good some of these bands are. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: if you don't have a really special guy or gal
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: singing you, it's gonna be a tough road.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Well, those guys have the cachet to go out and
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: hire the best sidement in the business, right and to
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: cover their expenses. It can be a vanity project. But
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I don't have pockets thater that deep. I'm fortunate to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: have good friends that are really talented.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Right. So have you ever seen an actor or an
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: entertainment personality that was a good front person?
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Well, Jamie Fox is at.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: He did.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Usually it's the musician. What a surprised when they give
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: a good acting performance. I can say Dwight Yoakam in
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Sling Play, He's amazing.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: It was really chilling us.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And that's when we appreciate more. Like I'm sure Keanu
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Reeves band is awesome, but he but.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: He was smart enough to stand off to the side.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, plays the base, which is like exactly what
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I was telling my crew. I said, I can't be
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the front guy. Yeah, I'm not a good enough singer
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: and I don't have that thing that you need to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: be like a great singer, which is a great voice.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't have that. I have to work
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: my ass off just to sound sort of passable. Sometimes
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that's not a good omen, right, So it's like stand
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: off to the side and let the really talented take
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: care of your music, right, and assist it in some
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: way or else if you can't get the hell out
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of the band.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but some actors have done. I mean I think
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: j Loo has done pretty well.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Right. Does she start as an actor? She started as
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: a fly girl.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: She started as a dance she's a triple threat. Yeah, singing, dancing, acting, right, Yeah,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: so she's had a big career. She's good at that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I could talk all day about this. Let's
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: speaking of frontmen that have that thing. Sebastian Bach has
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: that thing. Yes, that is a bona fide front man. Yes,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: who stands in front of a band can scream into
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: a microphone and sound incredible, right, I mean that guy
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: can bring the house down. So you got to work
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: closely with him. What was your first meeting with him?
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, well, I'm going to try to keep it PG.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I do remember It's like what Sebastian Bach. It's that
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: guy who I saw when I was fifteen years old
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: at the summit in Houston, skin Roll opening up for
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: bon Jovi.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: And he came in.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: He had one scene where he's supposed to be a
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: guitarist in the band, right, and he all those years
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: in rock and roll, he's not a guitarist.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: He's a singer.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: And he had the most difficult time just getting his
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: electric guitar, unplugging the guitar cable and then putting it
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: into a case, and just it kind of had to
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: happen quickly in that Gilmore girls rhy him and we're
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: all leaving the room and just like it was like
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: a monkey with a puzzle putting in the stars in
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: a circular hole.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: He just couldn't figure out how to put that guitar
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: in the case.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: And John and I were just snickering and he's like
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: and then he you know, starts cursing. He gets frustrated,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: and eighties like, it's okay, we'll get it in the cutaway.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: We don't have to show you. And you know, I
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: wouldn't know what I look at it, him know what
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I'm doing.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: And but he was such a warm, gregarious personality.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I really can't say a bad thing about that guy.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I'm proud to have shared screen with him.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of gone out to the Rainbow with him.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: That's as close as I've ever been to crazy rock
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: starred him.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I had the same experience. I went to the Rainbow
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: with him. It was it was fun.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: What a night we all we I don't know if
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you were there that night, but it was one of
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the early ones.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: And then of course that's his kingdom.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: And for those who are listening, the Rainbow Room is
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: this rock and roll, heavy metal club on on Sunset Strip.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: And we sat down.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: They bring us to a really nice table and let's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: everybody watch pizza pizza and uh yeah, what you like
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: on your pizza? And it's like pepperoni and oh here
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: comes Ron Jeremy over to say hello.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Oh man, he uh yeah, I mean just.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: High fives all around, always about the high five.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: That's an entire two hour podcast in and of it. Yeah,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I should actually do a podcast based on him. Amazing character.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: How long has it been since you watched your episode back?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Did you watch any of these episodes before you came
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: on or you're just like.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: No, occasionally somebody will send me. I stumbled across a
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: YouTube clip of there's a scene of the diner.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you've gotten to it in your viewing,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: but well, there's the proposal, I have the lane, which
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: is a really sweet scene. And then there's another scene
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: where I hear that I like her better with her
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: glasses on, and I thought, oh, I kind of handled
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: that well.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: That scene went well. If but I get too self conscious.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: If Gilmore Girls is playing on someone's TV, it's.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Like, oh, I gotta get squirmy and leave the room.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Just I don't want to see myselvan right right, right right.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I was thinking before this little video podcast, I was
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: going to have it on in the background on the
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: TV behind me.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I just play it all the time, right,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: just so in the rare chance that'll get more residuals.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: It just it's always.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Playing right right. So we recapped the parties over. Okay,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit ago, but as one of the
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: scene where missus Kim is screaming at you at the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: new stand, what do you remember about filming that scene
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: with Emily Corota, because that was I loved you in
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: that scene, because you had a job to do in
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: that scene, which was to be, you know, to react
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to what she was doing, and it was just really funny.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: What you were doing was so funny because you didn't
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: do too much, and that's sometimes the hardest stuff to do.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Catch me up. What was she chastising me about?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I think just the fact that you were dating Lane, okay,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and I somehow she found out, I think. And you
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: were at the news stand and there was that guy,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: that young guy. Uh oh, and the guy was yelling
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: at you because you come to the new stand and
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you read, but you don't pay for it, okay, okay, okay.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And then Emily Grooda comes up and just just drills you,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: you know, just a surprise attack, and you just you
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: just turn and you're so befuddled and flustered.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: And is that the episode She says, Well, if she's
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: going to be dating you, we need to improve your
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: songwriting or whatever.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's it.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think we've gotten there yet.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: It was just an all out of assault on Zach
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: in public. I mean, she just unloaded both barrels on you,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: called you a dog from hell, and you know all
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: kinds of things, and that when you go to hell,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the dogs of Hell will be eating your guts and
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: things like that, hell hounds, we're gonna get you and
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the whole thing.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, it's starting to trigger memory.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And oh no, no, And it led to the funniest
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: dialogue and the funniest scene because you were like you
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: had a conversation with Lane after that at back at
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: your apartment saying, you know, this isn't rock and roll, man,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't do this.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: It's like I get I get the chicks and I
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: do music. I don't like do moms or you know,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: yelling at me in the street, you know, this kind
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: of a thing. And it was we were crying. We
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: were laughing so hard.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Oh I've got to catch up on that.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, brilliance, absolute todd low brilliance.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Oh thank you for the compliments.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Great stuff.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I don't quite remember that moment. Oh god, I'll take
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: another one.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: How could you not? I mean it was a crowning
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: achievement in comedic acting. So okay, so we're at the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: beginning stage of Zach and Leake's relationship. Finally, it's it's
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: bubbling up a little bit. But they they recently had
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a first date and kissed. Were you excited? Uh, they
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: were gonna make Zach Lane's boyfriend. Did you know of
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: their plans? Did you? Did they hint to you that
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: this was going to happen?
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: No. I did a little bit of the math myself,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: because I knew the hell and Pie and her actual
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: husband and he played behind the curtain in Pat Bailey
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: and he played the bass for John. His name was
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Dave Rigalski, and so I kind of did the math.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: It's like, well, I think the character a Lane.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: It's based on Amy's childhood friend, who is a Korean
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: American and a Seventh Day Adventist. He's dating this boy
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: named David Galaski.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: He left.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I honestly thought, well, they're going to bring another young
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: guy in here to be Lane's fella. And then it
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: started to fall to me and it's like, yes, just
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: like this pump and oh there's a kiss when they
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: wrote it so well, because the first kiss happens when
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I'm actually holding John on my shoulder putting into bed.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: To think he did he have too much to drink
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: or something, or why he was out?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, a minute. Yeah, I guess that's right.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, we were just watching a video or something. He
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: fell asleep.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: We told him to go to her room, and he
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: fell asleep in her bed. That's right, that's what happened,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: because you guys were on a date in the living room.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a date where my best bud is also in
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the house.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's there, and we were kind of Marveling's like
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: that you picked him up and hoisted him over your
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: shoulder and carried him out. I mean, but he wasn't
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: that heavy, was he. No, John's he's like one hundred
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and twenty pounds or something. He's really He's really not heavy.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't taxing at the time. I wouldn't want
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: to try it now.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: But well, so what's your opinion? What is your personal opinion?
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: You think lack? Does Zach and Lane make a good couple?
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I do, just because I have a stake in it.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I know the Internet shippers somem aren't that big of
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: a fan of Zach and Lane, and I can appreciate
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: that perspective.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: And it's like, well, tough business. That's the way it
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: inded out it was written. Yeah, maybe I wasn't the greatest.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: But uh, but.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: She got Zack out of his little philandering and he
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: eventually he became sweet to her and he cared about her.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Uh, when they go to Mexico for their.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Honeymoon and to consummate the marriage that they wrote it
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't that great, and she gets pregnant on
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: the first.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm taking my headphones off. I can't. I haven't
