  Speaker 2: Welcome Audrey Wassaluski and her husband Lyle Canals, who was

  Speaker 2: also in one episode of Gilmore Girls.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Show Guys.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Emily employs Suki and Larelize catering for Richard's party.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Kirk goes on a date with Lulu.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Loralized struggles with roommate issues and studying at Yale.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Matthew Diamond directed.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Amy Sherman Palladino wrote, so let's get into Suki and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Lorealize catering business. Here, Suki arrives and share some exciting news.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Emily is interested in them catering Richard's party for his
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: new venture with Digger. And what Emily always does and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: what she is used to doing, is her special parties
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that she brings people together to create business opportunities for
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: her husband, and she's been doing up thirty six years.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Lorele I isn't sure about it, has a feeling. Emily
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: is mad that she didn't tell her about their catering business,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and Laura's vying to get that business for this special party.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Suki makes Larelai.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Call her to confirm what Emily wants for the party.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Lorelei lies that she had sent Emily a flyer for
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: their catering company.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Emily knows Laurlai made it up.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Guys, Audrey Lyle, why do you think Emily keeps putting
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Lorelei through the ringer about her catering company.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I didn't think of it in those terms.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I was just looking at the I was so sure
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: that Laura I was gonna actually design the pamphlet, a
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: rush version of the pamphlet and somehow employ Kirk. I
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: was sure that's what was going to happen. That she
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: was not going to let her mom win that round.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: But put her through the.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Ringer well, from not telling her about the company to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the tasting.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: That's just her punishing her pay. You know, she's going
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: to have to pay the price for not sharing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: So Suki and larele I arrive at Emily and Richard's
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: house for the tasting. Emily sits and tries their food
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: while Suki and Emily hover behind.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Emily ends up giving them the job.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Emily goes over to Laureli's house tell her that she
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and Richard have decided to go a different way. You know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Digger has come in and just kind of canceled all
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of those plans and says, let's just take the clients
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to Atlantic City. Let's be different. Everybody's throwing these dignified
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: cocktail parties in Hartford. Let's do something different. Let's differentiate ourselves.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Let's go down there and get these guys some hookers
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and get them drunk and this kind of a thing.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And Emily's horrified by this for obvious reasons, not the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: least of which is that she is being eliminated and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't sit well with her. Emily tells Laura I about
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Jason's new plan and how disappointed she is. So she
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: goes to Laurel's house and she confesses this, and it's
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: one of the few times in the show where you
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: truly feel sorry for Emily, and even her own daughter
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: feels bad for her.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So she's going to go open up a can of whoop.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Pass on Digger, who have a history.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: They kind of grew up together and went to summer
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: camp together, and I guess thirteen years it's just such
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: an awkward position to put her in, but that's just
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the way it is. And now Emily feels kind of irrelevant.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: How did that hit you, guys?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking I'm not sure how it hit me in
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: two thousand and five, but right now, she broke my heart.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: That sense of obsolescence might get a little too close
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: to home these days, but she literally Kelly Bishop did
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: such a great job of her her stiff upper lipping
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: that way and just breaking my heart right right.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, So let's go to Rory's. Got some roommate issues,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't she? All week, Rory struggles with her roommates being loud,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: paris fighting with her boyfriend Jamie. Rory tries to go
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: find a quiet, quiet place, ends up finding this wonderful
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: tree out in the grounds of Yale, and it becomes
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: her favorite new study spot.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Then she goes back the next day and there's some guy.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Reading a Trucker magazine and he won't move and he
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: won't leave. So Rory goes back to her study finally
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: realizes that she can buy the spat spot back for
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: twenty bucks, which she does. Is Rory being a little
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: too particular about her studies or is this expected out
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: of her?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: What do you guys think of this?
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: I felt for I've been through the roommate situation and
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: going away from home, and she didn't even have siblings,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: so she's not used to having to negotiate that shared space.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: So I see her desperately needing something that's hers. My
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: college roommate was a devoted Bruce Springsteen fan and had
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: over four hundred unlicensed voters of Bruce and so people
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: would line up outside our room to come tour the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Bruce Museum.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And I had nowhere to study, so she had my back.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: That's what you gotta do, all right, Kirk State. Let's
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: move on to Kirk State. He has Laura to cater
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: for his date with his boyfriend. His brother's ex girlfriend Lulu.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Lorelei doesn't think that is a great idea and suggests
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Kirks take her out to dinner instead. The next day,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Kirk goes to Luke tries to reserve three tables.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Luke agrees to reserve one table for Kirk.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: State again we have this magical coupling of Kirk and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Luke polar opposites. Loreli goes to Luke Steiner to complain
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: about her mom and sees that Kirk is practicing for
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: his date. He actually did a dry run with a
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: camera and he's talking to the camera. These few episodes
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: are the last bunch of episodes, are very strong for
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Sean Gunn, very very strong. Luke explains to Laureli that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Kirk has been videotaping himself and will be reviewing the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: tapes tonight and kind of refers to him as pathetic.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: The next night, Kirk shows up with Lulu right on time,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the tables set up with champagne and tablecloth. Kirk goes
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: up to Luke and asks him what to do, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: this is one of the most I don't know, I
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: guess tender moments between these two and Kirk actually grabs
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Luke why two man, the date is actually going well.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: He wasn't expecting that, and that she actually likes him.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Luke tells Kirk to go back and do whatever he
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: is doing, which is always sage advice.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Kurt.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, guys, Kirk is getting a girlfriend. It's nice to
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: see kirk storyline expand, obviously, and to see Luke to
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: be a good friend to him during this this phase
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: in his life.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Are you are you interested to see what Kirk will
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: be like in a relationship.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Oh oh yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: And now, as freaky as it was for him to
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: practice that date on camera, if you were to do
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: that today, he could post it to TikTok and get feedback.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: That is outrageous.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, we're gonna switch it back to Jason.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Uh digger uh lurl. I stands up for her mom,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: did Jason? She goes she opens up the Canada whoopass
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and goes to Jason's office, but Jason uses it to
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: get a date with her.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, I've never.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Seen a slimier character on Gilmore Girls in all of
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: these episodes. I mean, what a class a creep. He's
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: just so taken with himself thinks he's the smartest, most
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: clever guy in the world.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And I mean Jesus.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Saying and then and then the Kuda Grass saying, Emily
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: would hate it, you know. Loralai confronts him, what are
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: you doing. You're hurting my mother, You're hurting me. You know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I could have gotten the business out of it, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: he's like, well, I'm not changing my mind, but you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Emily would really hate it if we went out on
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: a date.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Ew. I mean, it's like how this begins is so vile.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: That is not a cute meat, That is not a cure.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's like, what on earth is going
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: on with this scene and this character. I mean, I
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: didn't I guess you could consider it clever. It's very conceited,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: but I mean, did we really need this?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Guys?
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I can't picture a world where my childhood nemesis would
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: score a date.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that person that humiliated.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: You, unless you were seeking some sort of cary like revenge.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Is it just was that crazy?
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: His insane confidence that he's completely unaware of how slimy
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: he's coming off, and he doesn't care that it makes
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: him attractive. I mean, help me out here, give me
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: a little female perspective here. Is that supposed to be attractive?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I guess No, it wasn't very attractive.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I guess the only thing he does is he keeps
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: up with her and is one ahead. So there's a
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: chatallenge there, but no sexy.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: So do you think that? Okay, here's the other question.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Do you think that the light bulb goes off for
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: her solely because she wants to get back at Emily.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: She arrives to defend her mother. She arrives to protect
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: her own revenue stream, her own business, and then it
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: turns into this slimy guy, smarmy, slimy guy asking her
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: out on a date in order to disturb her mother.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: So she just gives up all of her values. So
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: are these values real? Is her loyalty real? What is
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: happening in this scene? I mean it depicts I don't
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: think it's a good look for Laureli. That's what disturbed
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: me most about it, Like, how can she not see
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: how gross this situation is?
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's all bundled in with her
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: sort of new.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Empty nest, losing her best friend and daughter and her
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: being sort of lost and him at least being part
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: of her past and somebody that has known her, whether
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: he's respected her. He represents who she is or was,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: and not the scary future of being alone.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know that's really reaching.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Now, I know that's that's plausible.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I think this is why people dislike this character so
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: much distract I think the Digger character is one of
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the least popular characters.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: To populate the show.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I care about everybody's so much.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: But I mean, but you talk about you talk about
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Laurel I having this massive blind spot. Okay in your opinion,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: does she see it? And she's so intent to get
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: back at her mom that she's just going to use
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the guy. Because I think this plays out like they're
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: actually you know, they actually get serious. Through the serious
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, they actually date, they're kind of in love.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: He makes all of these gestures.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I remember episodes where he's making all kinds of gestures
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: and you know, making special dates and trying to rehabilitate himself,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: you know, really.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Try and try and trying.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: But gosh, wow, strong opposites attracting because they're not. That's
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: not good.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: It seemed to me like it was an opportunistic moment
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: for her to say, oh, you could see her smiling
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: and sort of thinking through how this could play out
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: to get back at him, you know, and and and
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: he took the bait with that, you know.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: But the utter, the utter stupidity on Digg's part to
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: think that this was a good move to ask out
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the daughter, the estranged daughter, yes, of his business partner,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: and the complications that that brings to bear.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: And I mean talk about a violation of trust.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm Richard and I find out they're
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: dating without Digger even coming to me saying listen, you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: being respectful about it, I mean, or just not. He
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: lacks the smarts in the foresight to just know, can't
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: do this, can't go there with Laurla.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I have a business relationship with your dad. This is
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: not a good idea.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, so it just makes him all the more
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: unconscious and slimy and manipulative. So now you think, now
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: you think he's they're trying to sell this. There's a
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: possible world where they're trying to sell this guy's being
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: so charming, so seductive, so incredibly powerf full and smart
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: that larel I just like loses her Marbles in an instant,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: forgets about anything and just goes back to her old
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: revenge reflex with with her mother and screw the business
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: relationship with Richard. I don't care about my own reputation.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be blinking his daughter behind his back.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna go I mean, it's it doesn't
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: work on any level.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: It's like he's destroying his business from from day one.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: But he's the same guy.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: That wants to take the clients to Vegas that he's distroyed.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: He wants to go to lack City. He wants to
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: boink the daughter. He has no respect for anybody.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: No, it's wild.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: It's just absolutely wild that a Richard would buy it.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: See that's the thing that that that mystified me when
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I saw Richard say, oh, Emily, that's okay. So it's
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: like this guy is supposed to be, you know, the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: opportunity to to bury a rival or to get for
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Richard to get even with the man that fired him,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the father of Digger is so visceral for him and
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Laurelize the.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Same thing to get back.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it's an interesting interplay of conflict
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: and I appreciate the effort to set it up, but
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Buying, right, But I didn't.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not buying into Richard being okay with taking everybody
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: to Atlantic City. That is not his character, right, right,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm not buying in with Laurel. I thinking, this
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: guy is you know all that. I just I don't
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: get it. You've got two of the most cynical, the
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: most perceptive, the most on guard and Laurel as a survivor,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: so she's you know, her radar is is sharp for
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: people like this, for manipulators, right, she doesn't get manipulated,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: So this is her Achilles heel.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, any Tom Dick or Harry can roll up
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: to her and you know, you know, desire her, and
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: she's she goes soft. It's just it doesn't track for me.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: None of this tracks for me, And I think that's
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: why fans. I think that's why fans have such a
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: problem with it. Richard isn't acting like himself. She's lorealized
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: that being herself. Why are they letting this fox into
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the henhouse? I think there was a I don't know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: a different way to do it somehow.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Or I just I just I'm not buying into it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Were you guys buying into it? No?
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: No, all.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: I kept thinking where I couldn't remember this whole storyline
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: where it goes, and I was like, is she just
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: playing him? Like is she a chess move ahead of him?
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: A big I'll go to dinner with you? But what's
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: going to happen? Like, because there was no way that
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: there was a couple like that wasn't going to be
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: the outcome.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: That was my thought as well.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it just seemed to me like it was a
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: setup on her part. Once he made that move, she
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: kind of lights up with a smile, and I to me,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: it was like, oh, I got him. Now I'm going
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: to string him along and I'm going to eviscerate him
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: when I get the moment, and that somehow I believe
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: that that was the move rather than I'm charmed, you know,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: by him.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: But we know that's not That wasn't her intention. No,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: that's the only plausible explanation.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: She is wearing the juicy pants.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Yes, so she could be going through a phase where
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: she's a little self destructive.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: And putting it out.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Wow, anyway, tough one to swallow, all right, So I
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: guess now we see this is what you would call
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the Digger.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Effect on the series.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: This almost has like a tectonic shift, tech plates shifting,
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: creating an earthquake in the series, the way that.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: When they introduced my daughter as well, the way the
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: fans reacted to it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: But I guess that's.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe not necessarily a bad thing. I'm just I'm just
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: having an issue with the logic of it.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Audrey, you're an episode five, You're in one episode season five,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: and you're with Laura la and she tells crazy stories
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: about her mom.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: During the interview for the magazine you.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Work for it, you remember about working that scene with
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Lauren tell us about it again.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: It's such a little blip, but I remember being just
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: dazzled at the mastery of again because the lions are
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: so much tongue more tongue twister than memory. Problem of
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: spinning everything out at that tempo, and to just sort
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: of watch her spin.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: And go and was hypnotizing.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: There'd be times where, also on any other show that
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: works at a much slow or tempo, somebody would say, oh,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I'm going to back up and do that again. She
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: would like if something happened and there was a trip up.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: She would self correct in real time, and as a
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: new participant.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I'd be like, am I having a stroke? Did we
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: go back? Are we going forward?
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: What do we go?
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: And she just owned it.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: It was like she knew the scene backwards and forward
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: and could sort of fix it on the fly, just lovely.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was a pretty fast talking long monologue.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: How did you keep up with it?
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: I knew going in because again it was the time
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: everybody wanted to be on this show. And they'd be like,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: the secret is you've got to be word perfect and
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: go as fast as you can. Just get in there
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: and you get word perfect and do it. So I
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: was ready. I prepared for that.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: That's how the auditions were. The casting directors would say
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: before we went in the room, they would say, go
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: as fast as you can, just don't do don't think
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: about anything, just go go speed speed speed.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: It was challenging, you know, in the beginning, it was
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: it was a It wasn't really hugely challenging in the beginning,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: but it was a little bit.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: There was there was.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: A you know, because we could all do it right,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: that's why we got the job. But uh, I remember
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: very early on in the production. We're Warner Brothers and
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: it's the first episode. It might have been the first
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: or second day of shooting.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: And uh, I don't know. Six am.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: We're sitting in the makeup trailer and uh, and Pa
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: comes in and handles hands us a totally rewritten scene.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: It's ten pages and it's it's been Laarene and I.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: So we're just in the diner and it's just this
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: ten page thing. And no, maybe there were more that,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: maybe there were more people in there. No, it was
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: like a full No, there was was now it's coming
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: back to me. There were like four or five people
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: in the scene, four or five cast in the scene,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: but it was mostly just you know, Laura and I
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: behind the diner, early morning, busy morning, moving plates, moving
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: around all stuff. We had to learn this in twenty
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, and so we just put our
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: heads down and did it. And we went in there
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: rehearsed it.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: We got it.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: So you know, we figured if we can do that,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: we're good, right. But I'll never forget. I'll never forget
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: the looks on guest stars faces would then when they
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: would come in and they'd be what they thought, they
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: thought they were prepared, they'd worked on it, they'd really
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: worked on it, and then you come in and they
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: get in rehearsal and they're like, oh God, I don't
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: know if I can.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Do this because it really was quick. Everything was so quick.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Oh and you're already nervous as a guest person.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: So you're like, h right, you're already. Oh yeah, of
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: course i've been.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: You know, That's how I came up, That's how that's
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: how we all build our resume.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: We get those guest spots, right. And I know that feeling.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Trust me, When I booked a Seinfeld episode and I
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: had to that's like walking through the tunnel at Yankee
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Stadium and you're going to start that day and you're like,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: what the hell am I doing here? You know, I
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: know that feeling of like, oh God, am I going
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: to be able to deliver?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Because these are you know, this is like the all
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: stars of acting here.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: These are these are comp comedic geniuses and they've been
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: together five six years or whatever.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: That's like, how am I going to do this? And
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you do it because they're so.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Generous with helping you do it, and it's their attitude
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: that rubs off. So so we always were very supportive
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: of people coming in because we knew how tough it was.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: We got it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: There were there were you know, Broadway veterans that would
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: come in to do to do guest shots. They'd be
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: there for a day, you know, and like great actors. Yeah,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and they'd come in and they they go, oh God,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: and they'd go, Jesus, this is fast.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Am I going to be able to And they'd.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Begin sweating, and it was like we calm them down
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, you got this, and we're with you,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: and you know, you're doing great and all this.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: It was real. It was a thing.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Some people would come in and break down they couldn't
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: do it, you know. And then others would come in
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: and try to, you know, they try to rewrite their dialogue.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: And and and do improv.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: We'd have to stop them and say, you can't do that.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Just think you're in an all Coward play and you're
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: rewriting an all coward You don't want to do that, Okay.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: So Amy's like the Noel Coward of TV writers, right,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, just incredibly funny situations, incredibly dramatic and funny.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Situation all right. So Audrey.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: A lot of your work is voiceover. Do you prefer
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: one over the other? Camera being on camera or voiceover?
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's been such a roller coaster of what's sort
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: of driving the day. So I love that I get
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: to flip flop. Voiceover was more fun when you would
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: go in and be in the room. But since the pandemic,
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: I'm in the corner of my office and it's become
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: a very solo art form that even if it's part
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: of a big group project, we're just picking up my
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: lines in my pajamas in the closet. It's just become something.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, I try to it's creative and it's an outlet,
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: but it's not the same thing.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to say on camera.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Everything's remote. Everything's just remote now, you know.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: And I find it also auditioning is well, it's like,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: you know, just film with your phone, hear the instruction,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: send it in. It's like it's just so I don't know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: it's just so impersonal and.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: We abdure each other. But if we do one more
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: scene together, Yeah, like this little rep company is really tired.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Right, I can't right, I had an audition last week.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: I couldn't ask my wife again to take, you know,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: an hour out of her day to help me. And
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: it's just like we just don't have the schedule to
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: do it. It's a lot of work. It's easier just
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: to go in and do it and be done with it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: But anyway, thank you both so much, Lyle and Audrey
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: all the best. You remember, best fans on the planet.
