• 2:03
  Speaker 1: How did you get the role? Let's let's start at
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the beginning. How did you get this role? Well? Uh,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: this was actually the second role that I auditioned for.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I I uh, so, I guess it starts with although
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Amy and Dan say that it doesn't. I mean they
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I always mentioned Sean Gunn as a very important part
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of why I got the role in the show. That
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: they insist like, no, no, we auditioned you, you got
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the role had nothing to do with Sean gun But
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the part that that um that they miss or that
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: they have missed when when talking about it, is the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: fact that I met Maura Casey through Sean gun mar
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Casey is a close friend. UM, she's a Chicagoan. Um.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I'm a Chicagoan. So is Sean we all kind of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: came here together. And um, she of course new Sean
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: from from the show. And uh, the the Christmas four
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I was cast on the show, we had a Christmas
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: party and she was home for the holiday. She she
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: wasn't able to go home for the holidays, so so
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we invited her to the Christmas party and I met
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: her there and she's and we had a great conversation
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and I had really just I've just been in Los
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Angeles for about a year and a half. Um, and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: she said, I'm gonna I want to try and get
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you on the show. And I was like, oh, it
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: sounds good to me. Uh. She brought me in for
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a role. Um. It's actually I can't remember the name
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of the character, but he's one do you remember the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: brother and sister that um Rory goes to the to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the home of that of that that friend, the one
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: who's gonna help her get into Yale, like is gonna
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: help give her right And he's got the two he's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: got the two siblings. He's got the brother and sister
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and they're like at the table talking trivia and stuff.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So I I auditioned for for that guy, and and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Dan was it seemed really into the audition. I came
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: out of it thinking like, oh, I got that, he
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was laughing, he was super into it. And then I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: didn't get it, and I was kind of bummed. And
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: then and then this role came up and Mara said
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: that Dan was like, Hey, that one guy that that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: came in for that, could you bring him in? Now?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: That role had had a lot of lines in it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I remember, you know the other one. I remember being like, wow,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I'd really love to grab that that role. And then
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the Brian line. Brian role had like one line in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the first episode, right, So my feeling was like, like, Okay,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: this is cool, but he's only got one line. Never
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: would I have thought that thirty seven episodes later and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: five seasons later, right, So that's like a really good
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: lesson for those uh that that old saying there's no
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: small parts, just small actors, right, as a perfect example, right,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I I would have assumed that that was the end
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of the character, and probably if I had been given
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: both on a platter, I would have probably taken the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: first one as an actor because I had more lines.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Not realized, of course, that five years later I would
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: have been a part of the show. Well, Um, so
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: what do you remember most about the series in your
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: time on the show. Um? I mostly when I think
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of the series, I mostly think of the people I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: worked with. I'm and and actually I mostly think of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the crew. I think about George Bell, I think about
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Valerie brenda Um, and of course I I think about
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Kiko and Todd because I spent so much time with them.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So for me, every time I got the call that
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I had an episode, UM, it was like it. I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: always got really excited about it because it was my
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: opportunity to hang out with my friends again. Oh it's nice, yes, Um,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and those friendships continue today. I oh, yeah, Todd and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I are still very very much in touch and close
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and so so TAKEO and and actually I still keep
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: in touch with Sebastian to a bit, not as much
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: as the others, really, what you know, give my best
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to Todd. I saw him up in Canada. We were
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: on stage together and had a wonderful time. He's a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: wonderful musician and wonderful guy. Just give him my best,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: would you. I absolutely will. And how Sebastian doing. He's good,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mostly I mostly know how he's going
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: from his Instagram. He seems like he's like really really
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: really into into health these days and and uh eating eating, well,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it still looks like he might be drinking. Well he
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: liked his wine. Um. But yeah, and he lives I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: believe lives in Vegas. I believe so. I I might
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: be wrong about that, but I thought I thought I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: saw something that that said he was in Vegas. Interesting. Um,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: so let me ask you this. I have I have
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a bunch of fan questions. We want to get to them. Uh.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: When the idea for the reboot came came along, what
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: was your reaction to that? To a year in the life. Oh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I was excited, but I was mostly excited for the fans.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for the decade when I was
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: on the show, I didn't really have this sense that
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: we were doing anything that was like a pop culture phenomenon, right,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Like it just it wasn't really that big. Every once
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in a while I had walked into an Apple store
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: something that and somebody would recognize me. But for the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: most part, it was still a small show. Over the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: course of that decade, and as social media, because we forget,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: when we were on the show, social media wasn't really
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a thing social media really kind of what It's Dawn
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: happened in the years after, certainly It's Rise, And that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: was when I suddenly had this direct engagement with fans
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in a way that I hadn't had before. And I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: got to watch over that decade, fans get more and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: more and more eager for a return to all of
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: these characters. So when the reboot was announced, my first
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: thought was, Oh, my goodness, the fans are going to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: be so happy. M hmm yeah, um yeah. I had
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the same experience, but we're getting tremendous amount of feedback
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: every time when I walked out the door, when are
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you gonna do another one? Let's do it some more seasons,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: come on, let's once they're coming back. And I mean
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: it was and it really reached this sort of pinnacle
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: at the South By South. But I mean that was
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: when I really felt like when we look what like
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: looking out at that audience of all those people, it's
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: sort of it's sort of hit me at that point,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: how if this doesn't happen? Like it just felt like
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: this has to happen at this point, you know, Um,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: there was just the fervor was just too high. Okay,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: so let's talk a little bit about it. Really truly,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that was a big moment for the show. Um, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: it was perfect timing, and I felt the will, the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: will to do it was there from from from everybody.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And I remember, I remember this the sentiment from the cast.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, you had like Kelly and you were really
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: like there was there was a real sense of like
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: we are ready to do this, like let's make this happen.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And you know, I mean obviously like they're bigger powers
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: than anything that anybody, including Amy on that stage could
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: make happen. So that was sort of an in some
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: ways and sort of an appeal to the the greater
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: studio gods. You know that, Um that not only uh,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: not only are the fans ready for it, but but
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the cast is ready for it, which is always such
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: an important thing that that fans don't often realize that,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you know, to make a show, and to certainly make
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a reboot, it's pretty complicated. You've got to get a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: lot of people in line, you gotta get a lot
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of contracts in line, all of that kind of stuff.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: And so UM, to hear a cast all say yes,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: we're ready for this, Um that I think that was.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: That was it's sort of its most important moment. Yeah. Um,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and it was a heck of a lot of fun
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to do. It really was. Regardless of the result it was,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it was it was really fun to do. Um. Can
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you explain let's talk about remarks, explain what that is. Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So came out here and my I realized very quickly
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that I couldn't wait tables. It just wasn't for me.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So I got into technology. I taught myself how to code,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and I started to code software and whatnot. And for
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: about the first year and a half or so I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: was here, I was building software and that, and then
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I met in our Casey and I got on the show,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and then it changed my life and suddenly, I you know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I was I was just only thinking about that. Um.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: As the show came to an end, I decided I
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: wanted to move behind the camera. I wrote. I wrote
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a script that I sold to Warner Brothers right after
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I the show ended, and that began my writing career
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and sort of began a career behind the camera. Um.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: That project gave me a really intimate relationship to or
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a very very interesting insight into fandom in general. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: got to see what it was like to write something
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: it was science fiction in a studio where fans were converging,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and see sort of how fans and and and the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: studio interacted. And I thought that there was a really
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: interesting but very strange, almost dysfunctional dynamic between how the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: fans saw themselves and how the the studios did. Uh.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: And I just got really into this idea that fans
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: have more they have more power, and therefore should have
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: more say in the I P that they evangelized. And
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: this became something I was really obsessed with throughout the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: teens um and in i'd say mid teens, I started
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to build this product that was sort of trying to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to bring fans together to create eight content, like actually
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: like create IP together. And it didn't really quite go
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: where I wanted it to go, and I sort of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: hitting my head against the wall. And then in early
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: my wife had our first child, and I thought that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: would be a good opportunity for me, for me to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: sort of reboot, step back from all the work that
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I was doing trying to figure this out. And Uh,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: in the late hours, feeding a baby, changing diapers, I
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: just had this thought that maybe, um, I should watch
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the television show that I was on for, you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: for for five years, that maybe that was actually a
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: better focus on fandom and relationship to fandom. I had
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: this fandom that really loves me for something I didn't
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: even know. I'm looking at like this baby girl thinking
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: maybe she's gonna watch the show before me, like like
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that can't happen. And so I thought, I'm gonna watch
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: this show, um, and I'm gonna show up every night
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: in an audio room, and whoever wants to join me,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: We're all gonna just count of three press our lay
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: buttons at the same time create a sort of social
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: DVD style commentary track. And watched the entire show, and
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I would let fans lead me through the show through
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a show that I was in that I certainly can
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: provide value to them on, like I can tell them
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: some of my experience, but they can provide infinitely more
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: value to me by by by guiding me through a
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: story in a world that they know so much more
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: intimately than I do. And it was amazing. We we
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: did it the entire summer, a hundred and fifty four
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: episodes last summer, and somewhere halfway through that I realized
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: that I had a sort of the beginnings of a
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: community and a platform around watching shows together. So I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: started building an app. Halfway through the summer, teamed up
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: with an x Google Amazon developer, a friend of mine,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: um who came on as my co founder, and we
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: started building this thing. We finished Gilmore Girls in September,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and the community started to started to schedule other shows,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and it's growing and it's auf some it's and it's
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: probably the project that I'm most proud of, uh in
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: my whole career with interesting well, good for you, um,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's It's kind of remarkable how
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the fans have shaped this podcast as well, because we
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: read all well, I don't read them all, um Amy Sugarman,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the executive producer, reads all of them, and the team
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: reads all of them, and they've they have such great
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: suggestions for how to shape this podcast and what the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: content and all that kind of stuff. So so they
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: are very uh they're a living, breathing um U areudite
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: group of people who really know this show cool. I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: mean it's really cool. I mean I love it. I
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I have developed relationships in the past year and a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: half with fans of the show that are just so
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: precious to me. Um. And and it really did begin
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: with their love of a show that I was on
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: but didn't really know, which is just the thing about it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: And now I can, really, I can truthfully say I am,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of show. And I say
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: this all the time. I wish that I sometimes I
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: wish that I had watched the show back when it
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: was airing, because I could have told folks like you,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: my my colleagues. I could have told you how much
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I admired your work. And I couldn't at that time
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: because I didn't because I didn't know your work, you know.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, you were just you were just somebody that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: was on set with me that we just hung out
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and talk to us people. I didn't really know you
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: as as a as an actor on the show. And
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and and I mean your work on shows tremendous, so
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: as it's yours, thank you very much. But I really,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I just like I have favorite characters,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: um you know, uh like I'm a huge Puffs fan,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Like uh yeah, I mean I am. I am. I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: am a full fledged you More Girls fan. Another thing
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: about this show, it's amazing how it just keeps uh
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: going on with different generations. What's the craziest fan reaction
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: You've encountered, The craziest fan reaction that I've encountered, Um,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've had any really crazy fan reactions. This,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: this particular fandom, while very passionate, I would also say,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: are very normal, like they're they're they're they're not you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I mean when you when you think about I mean, look,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: you've definitely got your your folks dressing up like Taylor
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Dozy and you know, and and and whatnot for festivals,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: which I guess you know is a little odd, but
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: you know, no more odd than people dressing up on Halloween.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: But when you think of fandoms, you you typically UM
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: imagine these very like, you know, almost kind of delusionally crazy,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: uh folks. I've learned that that's not really UM fandom.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Again part of the lesson that I've learned. But I
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: think that this, in particular, this fandom, UM is full
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: of a lot more normal uh fans, or well, I
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: would say more reserved fans. I haven't had any, but
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you know, when I go to fan fest, UM, I've
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: gone to fan fast in the in the past, people
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: are really excited to see you and um, you know,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: run up to you and treat you. You know. One
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: thing that that I did have to kind of get
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: used to is the idea that, like, you know, a
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: lot of fans treat treat you as though they know
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you because they feel they do know you. You were
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: you were in their living room for years, but they
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: weren't in your living room. So there's you know, getting
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: used to this idea that people talk to you as
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: though there you know, as though you're their buddy, but
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you aren't their buddy yet, which is also, by the way,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: another big inspiration for Remarcus. I kind of wanted to
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: be there, buddy. I sort of felt like, gosh, if
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you're gonna treat me like I'm this old friend of yours,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: then we kind of need to know each other, like
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't you know, I can't have I
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: can't I can't pretend with a smile that you're my friend.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I kind of need to start developing relationships with with fans,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and so that was a big part of it. Um
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: But other than that, I wouldn't say anything really crazy.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Um no, me too. It's always been pleasant. Every single
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: encounter has been very pleasant experience. Um and I do
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of these conventions and and and they're all
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: just wonderful sort of interactions with all these great people.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: And these aren't the type of fans that go to conventions.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: That's that's not a convention crowd, you know, I and
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I mean it's true, and there I feel like they're
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: something like a festival that gives them this sort of
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: weekend in Stars Hollow is a little bit more this
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: fandom speed than like going and and you know, and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: no doubt, oh, no doubt. Oh yeah. I think that
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the appeal of a big part of the appeal of
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the show, it is the town. I think the town
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: is a character in the series that lives on in
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: people's hearts. When people talk about turning the show on
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: or rewatching the show, you often hear folks say I
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: want to go to Stars Hollow. I want to return
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: to Stars stars Hollow and escape to Stars Hollow. So
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a festival for these fans really does have to make
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Stars Hollow as much of of a character that they
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: revisit than anybody sitting behind the table doing autographs. Well,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I I sometimes wear the hat, oh nice. Yeah, Like, now, um,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that one's a that's a black hat. It is it is,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I have it, but it does have but it is
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a snap in the front and remarkus. We got into
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: big debates about the period when when Luke started wearing
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the hat that wasn't the snap front right and had
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the metal buckle, that we were not fans. I was
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: not a fan. There were some people that were. There
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: was some debate, but for most part people were like,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: snap the snaps, that's that's the only way to get
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: and starts. It fits and starts when you're trying to
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: create something so iconic. But I do think that you
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: know that that you're right, Um, a festival like that,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: you know, a festival like that that that does allow
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: fans of a show like this to really live in
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that world for a weekend, kind of feel like they're
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: in that world. It's the right kind of of a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: fandom event for for this particular fandom. Um, absolutely, for sure,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: for sure. But you know when they when the fans
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: come to a convention where I'm appearing, or Yunick and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I are appearing, or Sean and I are appearing, they
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: have a blast. I mean, they really have fun for sure? Um?
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Are you ready for rapid fire? Um? No one's ever,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: no one's ever really ready for it. But let's do
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: it here. One, two, three? How many cups of coffee
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to have a day? Uh? Usually one? Two on a
• 21:03

• 21:23
  Speaker 1: not a serious question, isn't Michelle a day of the week?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I'll road trip with Taylor? Finished, finish the lyric, and
• 21:37
