When I 17 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,280 tell you how much I love this show, I can't really say much about 18 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:41,599 it because it's so twisty and turny and just a really really great series. 19 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:49,280 It's a drama takes place in the late seventies in Manhattan and a man is 20 00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:53,159 arrested for a crime. I don't really want to tell you what, but 21 00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:57,599 in any event, it very much plays out like a play in many ways. 22 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:06,000 It is really really good, edge of your seat, dramatic, twisty 23 00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:10,680 like psychological thriller, I guess you could say. And it stars Tom Holland, 24 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,479 who is incredible in this, Amanda Seyfrid, who is incredible in this. 25 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:17,919 The whole cast is incredible.

You're here at the premiere in 72 00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:49,160 New York City at MoMA yere ago we were shooting. It feels good. 73 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,279 It's tricky to release, you know, because it's it's some tough subject matter 74 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,720 and it's also as as entertaining as it is and as like twisty as it 75 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,480 is. Um, it's got a it's got a real gut punch of an 76 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:09,120 important message and just so people get it, I hope people come away with 77 00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:14,560 something more than just entertainment. Um, because we're telling we're telling real stories. 78 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,399 This is not a drill. Yeah, congratulations on this. This is 79 00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:23,480 such a powerful series and uh and I can't wait for the world to see 80 00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:29,079 it. Yeah, Younger's crossed many thank you. I appreciate you. Amanda 81 00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:33,879 Seyfrid. Of course I talked to her, um about her Emmy winning turn 82 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:41,920 in the Toronto's series The Dropout, and I talked to William H. Macy 83 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,240 and all that. We'll put the links in the show notes. Um. 84 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,160 All right, So that is our red carpet interviews. It's crazy because Tom 85 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:58,759 Holland was right next to me waiting. He was being interviewed by the wonderful 86 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,279 woman next to me, and then he finished with her and I was still 87 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,439 talking to Amanda. So his awesome publicist was like, you know, obviously 88 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:11,480 didn't want him standing there at his own premiere waiting around, you know, 89 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,319 to talk to me. So so he went in to you know, go 90 00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:19,560 take a seat, and um, and I missed him. I missed Tom 91 00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:24,279 Holland. That's all right. The series is amazing, and who knows, 92 00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:27,879 maybe I'll talk to him, you know, mid season or something. But 93 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,279 in any event, that is the red carpet coverage of Apple TV pluses red 94 00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,839 carpet live red carpet coverage at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City. 95 00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:43,480 Of Apple TV pluses the crowded room. It comes out on June ninth 96 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,000 everywhere, and it is well worth your time to watch it. So all 97 00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:56,040 right, let's get into my sit down interviews with the cast of Amazon Prime 98 00:07:56,399 --> 00:08:03,759 Videos series With Love and Two begins airing everywhere around the world on today on 99 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:11,000 Today Today, and we're going to start with Isis King and Todd Grinnelle. 100 00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:13,879 So, first of all, thank you both for joining me. I really 101 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:20,800 appreciate it. And congratulations on season two. Thank you, thank you so 102 00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:24,759 much. Thanks of course, of course. So first of all, I 103 00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:30,000 love the series and how it, you know, really deals with family and 104 00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:35,720 love and life in a very frank way. Was that important to you when 105 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:41,080 you know when taking the role that it was so authentic, much more so 106 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,279 than I feel like, you know a lot of media today. Yeah, 107 00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:50,320 I feel like, especially to be a trans person where we don't really get 108 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:56,120 those opportunities to see love and family and friendships and career. So to have 109 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,240 the four things, I feel like something I've never personally saying for a trans 110 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,960 character. So that was really important for me, you know, and a 111 00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:09,039 day and age where trans wikes are being strict, I think it's important to 112 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:15,000 see a trans person we love by all of those compartments and yet to have 113 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,919 that family support, you know, as cool to see a common out story. 114 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,679 But what happens after that, right, what happens as a person progressed 115 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:26,039 and lives your life? And I think that's what we see Soul and their 116 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,960 relationship with Miles, and I think it's really beautiful. Ohsome, and how 117 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,720 about for utadd with Miles. Well, I've been lucky enough to know our 118 00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:41,240 showrunner as a dear friend for a long time and work with her on one 119 00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:45,080 day at time for years, Glory Keller on Kellt And so going into this, 120 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,080 I knew that all of these stories we're going to go very deep. 121 00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:54,320 They would be incredibly authentic, they'd be real, they would be nuanced in 122 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,200 a way that we haven't seen on television before, and that you know, 123 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:05,240 they would be representation across the whole show, um in terms of you know, 124 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,600 the characters, the actors, the writers, the producers, um. 125 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:16,559 So that everything was was authentic and conversations would be had that haven't been had 126 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,679 before. And so it was very easy for me to know and feel safe 127 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,960 that all that was going to happen and that this was going to be really 128 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:30,320 groundbreaking and uh and and great. And is that scary for you as an 129 00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:35,960 actor? I mean in um, in this you know, unfortunate climate for 130 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,720 so many people. Um, you know, with the canceling and all that, 131 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,120 did that ever cross your mind that, oh, this could be scary 132 00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:48,879 as as an actor? I mean, I will just say if if any 133 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,000 of us would be canceled first the stories we're telling on this show, I'm 134 00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:58,559 okay being canceled by the people who would cancel that. I love that. 135 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,120 And how about for you, sis? I mean, I'm just a trans 136 00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:11,519 person trying to express myself in an artistic way. So you know, it's 137 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,039 it's rare for us and get this type of opportunity. So I'm just living 138 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:18,919 in it and I'm so grateful for it, and you're doing an amazing job, 139 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,799 both of you. Finally, iis, you know, do you feel 140 00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:28,919 responsibility because this is really a you know, groundbreaking role in so many ways. 141 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,240 Does that ever? Are you ever like, uh, you know, 142 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,200 nervous about that, or I think because of how I came into media fifteen 143 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,360 sixteen years ago, I'm already used to kind of fill in that weight, 144 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:48,360 that pressure on. So it's nothing new, and I always kind of just 145 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:54,720 do everything knowing that it's someone young or who who may want to transition, 146 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,720 or even people who may not have met someone before who was trans they're watching 147 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:03,600 me. I kind of apply that today. I already that's awesome. Thank 148 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:09,000 you both so much. I can't wait for everybody to see season two and 149 00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:11,919 h and beyond. Thank you, good to see you. Thank you you 150 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,879 as well. Have a great day. Isis and Todd. Season two is 151 00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:20,600 really great. I love how creative the show is. Like every episode takes 152 00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:26,320 place and on a different holiday, and it all revolves around this family that 153 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:31,879 very much reflects a lot of families today. So really good show. Let's 154 00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:37,679 keep it going. Mark and Delicado and Vincent Rodriguez the third. First of 155 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,120 all, thank you both Mark and Vincent for speaking with me about with love. 156 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,759 I really appreciate it. Sure and congratulate, thank you and congratulations on 157 00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:56,240 season two. It really is a special show that authentically I think captures family 158 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:03,879 and life and relationships in a way that not many other shows do. Is 159 00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:09,320 that part of the appeal for you as actors, you know, doing these 160 00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:13,519 roles. Sure, I mean I think that you know, you hear actors 161 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,120 talk about it all the time. It's kind of become like a cliche at 162 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,799 this point of like, I need to make sure that it's authentic, and 163 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,960 I need to be you know, and sometimes it can get a little actory 164 00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:28,799 for me. But but when you when you have a jumping off point of 165 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,320 something that feels so real to you that you can actually and by real, 166 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:37,200 I mean like relate to where you can see yourself in the you know, 167 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,559 in this world, in this character, in these relationships. You know, 168 00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:48,080 for me personally as an actor, it's always very nice to have something written 169 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,840 that you're going to work to do, but be able to pull from your 170 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,559 own life and certain experience that you've had. And I think that a lot 171 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,919 of the stuff that we deal with on with Love because we have such a 172 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:05,799 big ensemble last you know, I think that everyone viewers and actors alike can 173 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,279 relate to the situation in some way, whether they're you know, on the 174 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,120 other side of it or or you know, in the situation that their characters 175 00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:18,360 in So yeah, I think that the more real it feels when it's jumping 176 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,240 off the page, the more real it's going to feel when we're actually, 177 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,639 you know, making it. I love that. And how about for you, 178 00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:28,559 Vincent Well, I think part of what makes this show feel so real 179 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,559 and resonant with the audience that has found us is actually goes back to how 180 00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:37,759 Gloria Keller on Kelly, our creator, showrunner, and head writer, incepted 181 00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:41,960 the show. It was during the pandemic. She was turning on the TV 182 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:48,360 and social media and she saw she saw nothing but pain and suffering and struggle 183 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,480 with her friends and her family and like, you know, the people the 184 00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:56,799 community she belongs to, and she's like, where's the where's the love and 185 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,639 the joy in the romance? You know, like that exists too, we 186 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:05,840 should see something like that. And then she got this idea for With Love 187 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:11,440 and so so With Love really represents what is already out there in the world, 188 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,720 what is real and true, but now it's being told like through this 189 00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:20,480 authentic lens, highlighting a Latino family who does break the stereotypes. And we 190 00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:26,039 do that throughout the show in so many different refreshing ways, and I think 191 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,879 it's a true testament to like how art can come from life like this show 192 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:37,320 is. It was birthed to impact the world in a positive way, and 193 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,240 now more than ever, we really need that. So thanks for saying that, 194 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,639 Kyle, that that you recognize its authenticity, because we definitely feel that 195 00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:50,399 as a cast, and we definitely feel that authenticity with our characters, especially 196 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,840 since Gloria embraces this kind of collaboration, you know, once we're on set, 197 00:15:56,159 --> 00:16:03,240 and that's that's definitely fueled the fun and the um and and the magic 198 00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:07,360 that we feel on the show. I love that. Thank you both so 199 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,600 much. I can't wait for everybody to see season two of With Love. 200 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:17,919 Thank you, Thanks Mark and Vincent. They have an awesome storyline this season 201 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:25,519 that you don't want to miss. Next up, the parents, the matriarch 202 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:32,240 and patriarch of the family, Constance, Marie and Benito Martinez. First of 203 00:16:32,279 --> 00:16:37,279 all, welcome and secondly, congratulations on season two of With Love. I'm 204 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:42,480 really enjoying this series, and uh and I think it's so authentic and real 205 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:48,279 in a way that so much other media is not today and um so I 206 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:55,559 think it's a really important series as well as enjoyable. Thank you. That 207 00:16:55,679 --> 00:17:00,399 was wonderful. Thank you of course, so for you as actors, you 208 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:06,920 know, I'm sure that that's part of the allure in doing it is having 209 00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:14,640 this series that is so you know, authentic and representative of so many people's 210 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,039 lives out there. That is that true for you? Indeed, oh a 211 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:25,000 thousand percent. One of the great things about this is not only is it 212 00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:30,799 written so well, where the conversations feel so true and so authentic and connected 213 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,319 that it almost seems like there's no acting required if you are really into the 214 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,759 character that you have. Benito and myself have had wonderful scenes together, but 215 00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:45,960 it focuses on the full human experience if it has so many, so much 216 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,400 representation. We have so much diversity agewise, we have diversity, race wise, 217 00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:57,440 we have trans AAPI, Latin X community, African American, we have 218 00:17:57,599 --> 00:18:02,039 older, we have younger, we have middle aged. I mean, it's 219 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:08,359 it's kind of like life, and it's accepting and treats all those different demographics 220 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:15,200 and humans with respect and with love, and that is my favorite thing about 221 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,920 this show. And with George, we have a blast. I mean, 222 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,359 dude, it's just joke after joke and laugh after everybody can sing on the 223 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,559 side, every actor can sing, and they all can dance, and she 224 00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:30,599 Conscience never stops dancing. Her and emerand her dance parties off to the side. 225 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:36,400 Vinnie is like doing Broadway dancing. So off camera we're having a blast 226 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,599 NonStop. But on camera, you know what's wonderful and just piggyback. What 227 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,480 Conscience was saying is we we don't shy away from these difficult questions and the 228 00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:48,359 pain that is part of life. But we also, you know, embrace 229 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,920 it with a hug, you know, and with honesty and with hard words 230 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:56,680 sometimes. But it is based in love, and it is based in by 231 00:18:56,759 --> 00:19:02,519 me behind. It is based in reality as much as possible. It's a 232 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,839 joy to come to work on this show. The words are there, the 233 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,359 writing is there that the directors are there, the sets there, we all 234 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,480 are dressed in beautiful wardrobe there. Oh yes, the sets are amazing. 235 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,400 So I mean, it's it's it's just a winner all the way. And 236 00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:23,400 the product the final show is so damn good. I mean, I just 237 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,200 I want the whole world to see it, because the more people to see 238 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,240 the show, the more people will fall in love. With this show. 239 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,640 It is that good. Well, I also have to say that if anybody 240 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,960 wants to see the bad guy and the mom explore and redefine their sexuality, 241 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,160 we're doing it over here with Love. You never see it anywhere else. 242 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,599 Kim Contrell maybe once a while on Sex in the City, but we gott 243 00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:48,839 of here. We're holding it down with Love absolutely. And I got to 244 00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:52,960 say, you know, speaking all of the talent, that is one cast 245 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,880 party that I would love to attend because with all of the talents of all 246 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,319 of you, it's got to be a great time. Um. And and 247 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,759 just you know, I'm almost at a time, but I just wanted to 248 00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:07,960 again, you know, thank you both. This this series is it's just 249 00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:12,720 done in such a way that you don't see uh and and family and life 250 00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:18,559 is complicated and um and you know, with Love is not afraid to uh 251 00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:23,039 to go there and explore those complications in a in a real way. So 252 00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:26,880 I think that's it's such a huge thing. Um. You know that the 253 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,000 show brings to to culture. Hold on, Yeah, that's well said, 254 00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:34,319 man, Thank you. Yeah, and wean the world needs it right now. 255 00:20:34,519 --> 00:20:37,799 I really think we need more joy, more acceptance, and more love 256 00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:42,720 and you have it with love that I love that. Thank you both so 257 00:20:42,839 --> 00:20:48,359 much. I can't wait for everybody to see season two and beyond. Yes, 258 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:53,680 season three.

Constance Marie and 261 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:15,359 Benito Martinez love love love them. And now m Arold to be a Rome 262 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:23,160 Flynn and Desmond Chiam who are really this series you know, basically revolves around 263 00:21:23,319 --> 00:21:27,160 them, So let's get right into it. Mrod to be a Rome Flynn 264 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:34,880 and Desmond Chia. This series is so um unique in my opinion. It's 265 00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:41,720 very authentic and real and uh and deals with real issues in an authentic way, 266 00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:48,240 which I feel like so much UM media doesn't today. Is that part 267 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,400 of the appeal for you as as actors when you are you know, um 268 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,480 looking at a role like this like wow, this is this is happening, 269 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,720 It's what it's what we need. It's to our community, nick Um. 270 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,400 For me, my character more than anything is like it's she's dealing with the 271 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,759 things that I am dealing with as a person with my girlfriends are dealing with 272 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,880 as a person as well as yeahs as them. You know, we're constantly 273 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:17,039 struggling with finding love, with our family's expectations, with societal expectations that we 274 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,599 kind of forget, and you lose ourselves within all that. So it's like, 275 00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:22,400 how do you find your happiness? How do you really take time for 276 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,240 yourself and navigate all the things you want and find your happy medium? So 277 00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:30,359 to me is like stuff that all women go through. And you know, 278 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,319 I love that she's in a way a cocktail of emotions. She's starting from 279 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,559 rock bottom in season two, but more than anything, I want to see 280 00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:41,160 her journey because I feel so many women are going to relate to and that 281 00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:45,200 is what what excites me most about my character. I love that. How 282 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:53,160 about for you Romm, what was the question? Is it the authenticity of 283 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:59,079 the series that has Oh? Yeah, I mean that's that's what I mean. 284 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,799 I speak for myself, you know, strive for that personally, to 285 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:07,000 try to find roles that um imitate life in a way where I feel are 286 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,559 responsible to to portray that, you know, for the world, and this 287 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:17,440 show is you know, kind of that in a nutshell. Um, the 288 00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:22,279 different characters, different gender is different representation everything, you know, the way 289 00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:26,880 that this show has been able to kind of put all these things together seamlessly. 290 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,880 Um, it's really a treat for people. And you know, I'm 291 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,440 excited for people to see season two. And how about for you, Desmond. 292 00:23:34,319 --> 00:23:36,960 I mean, yeah, I think that's one of the things that we 293 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,000 lose when you when the moment you go into the concept of like genres right, 294 00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:44,440 like comedy, drama, and it like real life doesn't happen that way. 295 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,279 And I think, um, Gloria has a really really good voice as 296 00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:51,559 far as for me, like trauma and drama come with a healthy, healthy 297 00:23:51,599 --> 00:23:55,039 evening of comedy. That that's how That's how like my family, that's that's 298 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:56,640 the language you speaking. A lot of my friends we speak, you know, 299 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,440 things that are horrible and terrible and tough funny also at the same time. 300 00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:07,519 And I think that's something that the show taps into really really really really 301 00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:10,319 well. I mean, these people they joke around, but it's about sometimes 302 00:24:10,319 --> 00:24:14,440 pretty serious like emotional stuff, and it's just how people talk. It's what 303 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,160 emeralds it. It's how people speak. Um. And and that I think 304 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,799 belies that not belizes, but undepends that sort of reality of the show and 305 00:24:22,079 --> 00:24:26,759 for me, very easy job the words from the page to say in them. 306 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,240 It's it's it's easy to keep it consistent and real because of that. 307 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,079 I love that Emerald for you. You know there, do you feel like 308 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,920 as you're reading the script, like you're wanting to know what happens you know 309 00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:45,400 on the journey, like you know, now know what happens. I want 310 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,319 to get to do whatever. See I mean some really nice fantasies. I 311 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,559 mean I get to make out with both of these men. So yes, 312 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,000 it's just tell me what why I get to shoot this? Please? Now 313 00:24:56,079 --> 00:25:02,279 today we know we know there was like one little, one little sequence with 314 00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:04,160 with with many many people involved that you were like, oh, yeah, 315 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:10,519 we can do this will be funny. I love that. Thank you all 316 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:12,200 so much for speaking with me.
