00:01:18,840episode.1900:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,080So, you know, the series almost always takes place exclusively in the Turner's House,2000:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,520which is on Spruce Street in Philadelphia.2100:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,280And this episode pretty much all took place in front of the Turner's House, particularly in2200:01:33,280 --> 00:01:42,120the car and that car, it's just such an incredible show that never manages me, manages me,2300:01:42,120 --> 00:01:50,840never manages to keep me on my feet to keep me being in shock as those credits roll.2400:01:50,840 -->

show,3200:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,480Bobby and Bev.3300:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,200I love these characters.3400:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,160You will meet them in episode three.3500:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,480Oh, my God.3600:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,200I just immediately fell in love with them.3700:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,040They're crazy.3800:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,040They're zany.3900:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,040They're cool.4000:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,800And there's something strange going on with them.4100:02:51,800 --> 00:03:02,160But in any event, I talk with Bobby, Barbara Kingsley, all about her role as Bobby in4200:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,720servant.4300:03:03,720 --> 00:03:10,840And over the next few weeks, you know, maybe we'll have some special guests that will pop up from4400:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,840servant.4500:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,560I guess I just gave away the spoiler.4600:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,240You never know could happen.4700:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,360I'm also on today's episode.4800:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,960I talk with Scott Hoying, who has been on the show before with Pentatonix, but this time4900:03:22,960 --> 00:03:31,320he is solo releasing his first major solo single called Mars, which is amazing.5000:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,680Love, love, love this song.5100:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,480And there's two new versions that just came out.5200:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,120A choir version and acoustic version.5300:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,520And I am in love with the song.5400:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,520So let's start out with Scott.5500:03:45,520 --> 00:03:56,280And if for some reason you have been under a rock, Scott is the, I guess, lead singer of Pentatonix.5600:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,120I guess there really isn't a lead singer.5700:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,800I don't know, but Scott is, you know, in Pentatonix, one of the founding members.5800:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,200And if for again, for some reason you live under a rock, they are essentially an5900:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,680acapelagroop from Arlington, Texas.6000:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,840And they do like pop style arrangements with harmonies and riffing and beatboxing.6100:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,280And they do some cover versions of modern pop songs and Christmas songs.6200:04:23,280 --> 00:04:25,360Sometimes medley's.6300:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,520They're just awesome.6400:04:26,520 --> 00:04:33,200They essentially formed in 2011 and then won the third season of the Sing Off on NBC.6500:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,840And then signed with Sony and blew up.6600:04:35,840 --> 00:04:38,560I mean, they're really, really, really amazing.6700:04:38,560 --> 00:04:46,840For YouTube channel has over 23 million subscribers and six billion with the B views, six6800:04:46,840 --> 00:04:47,840billion views.6900:04:47,840 --> 00:04:49,120That's insane.7000:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,120The latest album is their sixth Christmas album, Holidays Around the World.7100:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,360And the single release from that is called prayers for this world.7200:04:58,360 --> 00:05:05,240And Holidays around the world, if, you know, you cut the hint in the title, has songs from7300:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,800different cultures that are sung, sung during the holiday season.7400:05:08,800 --> 00:05:16,080And some new versions of some songs

the way, they have one three different Grammy awards.8000:05:34,200 --> 00:05:41,800And they're up for another Grammy for best traditional pop vocal album at this year's Grammys8100:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,320for their album, Evergreen.8200:05:43,320 --> 00:05:51,160So love, love, love, pentatonic and love Scott Hoying, who I'm talking with today.8300:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,040He is the baritone of pentatonic.8400:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,440He is also an incredible songwriter and musician.8500:05:58,440 --> 00:06:05,440And his released his first big solo single called Mars.8600:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,840Mars, it's like this epic song, I absolutely love it.8700:06:08,840 --> 00:06:10,600So Mars is out now.8800:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,200Like I said, there's two additional versions that he released just a few days ago.8900:06:16,200 --> 00:06:23,800So let's get in to my conversation with V1 and only Scott Hoying.9000:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,680So first of all, thank you so much Scott for joining me once again on I Heart Radio's9100:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,680pop culture weekly.9200:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,680I appreciate it.9300:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,680Of course.9400:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,680Hello.9500:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,680Thanks for having me.9600:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,680This is so cool.9700:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,000I've never done like a solo press day before.9800:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,560Yeah, it's exciting for you.9900:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,560I'm sure.10000:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,240Yeah, it's very exciting.10100:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,240It's like just wild.10200:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,160I've been wanting to do this for years, but I've always been so scared.10300:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,240So this is the things for having me.10400:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,480Of course.10500:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,720You deserve it.10600:07:04,720 --> 00:07:13,640And we're talking about Mars, the single, which is incredible by the way Kudos for that.10700:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,520Tell me, what is it like for you?10800:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,120You've been with pentatonic obviously for a very long time.10900:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,760And now as you said, you're, you know, just branching out on your own.11000:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,040Are you terrified?11100:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,040I mean, partially.11200:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,640Fortunately, I do think I'm in the head space where I feel like I have the confidence.11300:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,440And I feel good about putting it out and I can go to sleep proud of it.11400:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,880I'm not putting too much pressure on it.11500:07:38,880 --> 00:07:39,880But there is a little bit of fear.11600:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,880I mean, that's what helped me back for years.11700:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,040It was just this fear that if I did something solo, everyone would hate it.11800:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,920And I would develop this complex that I'm not interesting on my own without my bandmates.11900:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,040And so it's cool to see the response to it.12000:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,560And it's something I'm very proud of.12100:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,560And it's done more for me than just being able to put out music.12200:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,680It's just been a therapeutic, beautiful process of being able to be vulnerable and share my story12300:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,680and make art.12400:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,520And I love that for you.12500:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,680And the single Mars is absolutely insanely good.12600:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,200Tell me about it.12700:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,520Where did the song come from?12800:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,160And how did we get to listen to it today?12900:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,400So the song came from, well, during the pandemic, I learned how to use pro tools13000:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,920because I had to record remotely for pentatonic stuff.13100:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,480And I became obsessed with pro tools and producing and writing.13200:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,120So I've started writing a song pretty much every day for the last year.13300:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,080And that's when I really started to be like, I need to do a solo project.13400:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,280Because a lot of the songs were very personal stories.13500:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,760They wouldn't have totally fit with pentatonic.13600:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,480And I just was working my creative muscle.13700:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,960I was feeling really confident in them.13800:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,000And probably like 80 songs into that writing a day thing.13900:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,520I wrote Mars.14000:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,560And I was like, oh man, this feels like it could be special.14100:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,760But let me play it for Mark.14200:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,760And Mark was like, this is your best one by far.14300:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,240I love it.14400:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,360He was a crying.14500:09:01,360 --> 00:09:08,160And that kind of started the process of talking to labels and figuring out what a solo project would14600:09:08,160 --> 00:09:08,640look like.14700:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,400And right around the same time, I was arranging stuff for my dreamers, new album.14800:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,560And she put me as a feature on one of the songs.14900:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,160And so it all felt like all the planets, no pun intended were online.15000:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,880I love that.15100:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,880And again, I love that for you.15200:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,680And I love it obviously as somebody who loves your work.15300:09:27,680 --> 00:09:33,680For you, it's got to be freeing in a lot of ways.15400:09:33,680 --> 00:09:38,160And in the fact that this is you.15500:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,840This is Scott.15600:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,360And there is no-- none of your bandmates15700:09:43,360 --> 00:09:49,680to answer a question that you might not have wanted to or whatever.15800:09:49,680 --> 00:09:51,840It's Scott.15900:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,920Is that freeing in a lot of ways too?16000:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,080As much as it might be a little bit scary.16100:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,480Is that freeing too?16200:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,280It's both.16300:09:59,280 --> 00:10:04,080It's very freeing in that like we don't have to--16400:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,800we usually have to unanimously agree on something creatively.16500:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,120And so that's obviously going to be a process.16600:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,400And it works.16700:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,120And I love it. But also there's just a lot of voices and stuff16800:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,720takes longer.16900:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,280But whenever you're doing solo stuff, it's like you can run through17000:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,04020 ideas the speed of light.17100:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,520And really just make decisions and move on.17200:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,560And so there's a little bit of a flow that happens,17300:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,760which I think can contribute to the most authentic art.17400:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,880It's just moving at a risk, not overthinking it speed.17500:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,040But at the same time, I do-- I am hit or miss with ideas sometimes.17600:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,320Sometimes I have a really good idea.17700:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,680Sometimes I have a non-sugget idea.17800:10:43,680 --> 00:10:49,040And I don't have other voices or bandmates to be brought back down to Earth17900:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,120if I have some crazy ideas that I'm working.18000:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,600So it feels riskier and it's scarier in that way.18100:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,480Well, I think in my opinion, it is very much so paid off.18200:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,040So congratulations.18300:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,240And I really do mean that.18400:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,080Congratulations for taking that jump.18500:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,200Because of everything that you're saying.18600:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,600And we get an amazing track like Mars.18700:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,680So is this more of a Stevie Nicks thing where you're doing Scott?18800:11:19,680 --> 00:11:23,040But you're also-- you're not abandoning pentatonics.18900:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,480You're just doing Scott for right now.19000:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,240Yeah, exactly.19100:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,760Pentecostal is still really busy.19200:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,080We've got a whole world-torned experience in Albon and stuff.19300:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,000And I'm fully just as dedicated.19400:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,080And I love the landscape of the music industry now.19500:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,920Bruno Mars can be Bruno Mars and also do so.19600:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,120It's not like an interesting fact.19700:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,080I can do it.19800:11:44,080 --> 00:11:50,320And now that things are so efficient, if I have a song idea and I can write it in two seconds,19900:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,960like this set up in my hotel in New York and have the song in a few hours.20000:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,320And so it's honestly not as exhausting as you would think.20100:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,640But there are moments where I'm like, have conflicting things.20200:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,360But it's definitely manageable.20300:12:05,360 --> 00:12:12,560And I will also say that doing solo stuff and writing so much and living the stream of mine20400:12:12,560 --> 00:12:18,320has made me a better band mate just mentally and physically and physically for pentatonics.20500:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,680Because I've done so much arranging for the solo stuff I'm doing.20600:12:21,680 --> 00:12:28,320That arrangement for the National Anthem we just did at the college for Bo game, got all this love.20700:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,520And I feel like I was able to make that arrangement as good as it was because of all the stuff20800:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,520I've been doing solo.20900:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,240So I think it's helping.21000:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,240Awesome.21100:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,880And for Mars, it is so unique.21200:12:42,880 --> 00:12:50,400When I first heard of the project, I don't know what I expected, but it was not Mars.21300:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,800And I'm glad that it went way beyond my expectations.21400:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,680But I was expecting, I don't know.21500:12:58,680 --> 00:13:00,040I don't know what I was expecting.21600:13:00,040 --> 00:13:12,040But Mars is so deeply rich and layered in not just in a lyrical way, but musically as well.21700:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,000Is that part of, I mean, obviously it's part of you.21800:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,480But was that intentional with this song or is it just the way it came out?21900:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,120It's kind of just the way it naturally came out.22000:13:24,120 --> 00:13:30,840And so at the beginning of the year when I started writing every day, I really did not let myself22100:13:30,840 --> 00:13:36,440just have too much of a vision at first because I wanted to see where I naturally went.22200:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,800Because I contend to really try to calculate things.22300:13:38,800 --> 00:13:45,840And I just saw some I wrote silly dumb goofy songs, more R&B type stuff, I wrote country22400:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,320sounding stuff.22500:13:47,320 --> 00:13:54,800And I kept coming back to this epic epic was the main word that was the through line.22600:13:54,800 --> 00:14:00,040I love choirs and orchestra and I wanted to be big and intimate.22700:14:00,040 --> 00:14:06,440And Mars just was a song that I loved and kept coming back to and I couldn't stop listening22800:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,040to it and it seemed to be the close people in my lives, favorites.22900:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,320That's just what it turned into.23000:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,880But I never really at the very beginning intended for that to be the sound.23100:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,880I love it.23200:14:17,880 --> 00:14:27,760And for you, when you went to do the song, was this just you in a hotel room or whatever,23300:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,880just you kind of writing and playing it out and seeing what happens?23400:14:33,880 --> 00:14:42,640Yeah, I was at my house in LA and I just went downstairs and wrote it at piano.23500:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,080And like finished the song and then I brought it to a producer that I love very much named John23600:14:48,080 --> 00:14:53,960Levine and he loved the song and he kind of helped me shape it and we added a bridge.23700:14:53,960 --> 00:14:59,160And then he produced, he started actually playing the one piano note at the beginning.23800:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,760And it was like I'm hearing this kind of like coal play slow build thing and I'm obsessed23900:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,760with that idea.24000:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,600And I was like that is so perfect.24100:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,000And we just kind of built it out of a couple sessions together and it was really emotional.24200:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,000It was just so cool to see something come to life from nothing.24300:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,440It was powerful moment.24400:15:17,440 --> 00:15:25,840I'm sure, especially to come from a blank page literally to this huge epic like you said,24500:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,720anthem is called play song.24600:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,920That is so beautiful.24700:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,840The vocals, just everything about it is absolutely beautiful.24800:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,320I'm obsessed with it.24900:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,320Yeah, thank you.25000:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,320That makes me so happy.25100:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,320Thank you.25200:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,120Thank you for giving it to us.25300:15:41,120 --> 00:15:51,320And when when you're doing any kind of music, do you do you kind of like for when you were writing25400:15:51,320 --> 00:15:57,240for instance song a day was this, you know, some of this might go towards pentatonic.25500:15:57,240 --> 00:16:04,240Some of it might be for me or was this a, I'm just going to write for Scott and it is,25600:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,480you know, it is what it is and I'll see what I like at the end or whatever.25700:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,480Yeah, that's a great question.25800:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,320I mean, it changes every day.25900:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,560All like have an idea for this like unhinged song that I could never write myself or it could26000:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,760be for pentatonic, but I'll just write it anyways.26100:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,960Just to kind of like work that side of my brain and some stuff like if it gets really personal26200:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,680and vulnerable, I'll know it's more for me.26300:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,920And then if it's like a more general like kind of message that I feel like five people could26400:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,960relate to in the band, I will be like, maybe this is a cup of pentatonic.26500:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,880But then also I've written stuff that haven't inspired me to like put in a musical or something.26600:16:41,880 --> 00:16:48,440So it's more just like the action of writing and being creative and just getting stuff on paper.26700:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,760I love it.26800:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,440And this interview is all my interviews.26900:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,720I never script my interviews because I like talking, you know, conversation is better.27000:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,840Part of the problem with that is my 80, my 80, like bounces back and forth.27100:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,800You know, some like here and there.27200:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,720But I'm the same way.27300:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,560Oh, awesome.27400:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,560Okay.27500:17:06,560 --> 00:17:14,680For for Mars, you just released two additional versions of the song, which one is a choir version.27600:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,960And they're all they're both so different.27700:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,640One is the choir version, which I absolutely love.27800:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,640And the other is the acoustic version, which I also love.27900:17:24,640 --> 00:17:31,720But I've been particularly obsessed today with the choir version.28000:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,080Was that part of what you envisioned from the start?28100:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,800You were like, I love this song the way it is.28200:17:37,800 --> 00:17:44,080But I think it would be cool to kind of do a version like this or how did that come about for you?28300:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,280Yeah, I did intend on doing like a choir version of it from the start.28400:17:48,280 --> 00:17:53,360And I feel like I want to do that for a couple of the songs on this project, whatever it ends up being.28500:17:53,360 --> 00:17:58,440And like, I, you know, the idea actually stemmed from this behind the scenes video.28600:17:58,440 --> 00:18:05,040I saw of a huge actman singing with a bunch of incredible singers for like the greatest showman rehearsal.28700:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,040Mm.28800:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,040You've watched it.28900:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,480And they're singing from now on and they're rehearsing it.29000:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,000And it's so loud in the room.29100:18:11,000 --> 00:18:16,960And I just remember thinking I would pay a absorbant amount of money to be in that room just like soaking up that visceral energy.29200:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,040And it was so cool to see.29300:18:19,040 --> 00:18:25,120And so I really wanted to do that for Mars, just get some of the best singers in LA and just29400:18:25,120 --> 00:18:29,200belts and like it just is very human and tense experience.29500:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,920And it was so fun to do.29600:18:30,920 --> 00:18:31,920It was amazing.29700:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,080And the singers were so nice.29800:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,960They were also part of a group called Socavo, called Pushkami and Akapela.29900:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,960So fuck his men.30000:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,960Oh wow.30100:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,680And it was an excuse to release another version of the song.30200:18:41,680 --> 00:18:48,040And you know, as you were recording that particular version, did you ever kind of just step back and be like,30300:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,480holy shit, this is my song that I wrote.30400:18:52,480 --> 00:18:59,480You know, and here are all these amazing singers doing choir vocals on my song.30500:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,880Yes, I had a lot of those moments.30600:19:01,880 --> 00:19:02,880I was very curious.30700:19:02,880 --> 00:19:09,200I also was like, not an insecure way, but kind of like shy because it like meant so much to me.30800:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,200And I was kind of emotional.30900:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,760So I just remember talking to the choir and being like, thank you for being a part of this.31000:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,960It's really emotional experience for me.31100:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,560And I'm so happy to be here.31200:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,960I was like, oh, it's like a very humble, full experience.31300:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,680And it was just exciting.31400:19:22,680 --> 00:19:28,000I thought it felt really fresh and like a new, like a new chapter and a new world that opened up for me.31500:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000That's cool.31600:19:29,000 --> 00:19:35,680And you know, it really does the version both of the new, I don't want to say new versions,31700:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,000because the song is new.31800:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000Exactly.31900:19:38,000 --> 00:19:45,480Our so beautiful and give just a different dimension to an already beautiful song.32000:19:45,480 --> 00:19:54,440So the finally, because I know you have a whole junk at today, where can we expect,32100:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,280is, you know, can we expect Mars on an upcoming album?32200:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,600Are you just kind of playing it by ear right now?32300:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,800Where do you think it?32400:20:01,800 --> 00:20:07,120So, you know, I don't know for sure the dream is to do an albumer and EP.32500:20:07,120 --> 00:20:10,280I'm not sure on the timeline, but all of it's being talked about and it'll definitely32600:20:10,280

would have a video in a song every week,32900:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,560just I've written so much and there's so much of a crowd of, so it'll be coming soon.33000:20:22,560 -->

into the second round of interviews on my favorite show ever for season35100:21:14,880 --> 00:21:20,720four and it's the final season, which I'm so bummed about, but I'm also happy knowing that35200:21:20,720 --> 00:21:27,560they went out the way they wanted to knowing that they had 40 chapters of the story to tell35300:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,000and then it was going to be done.35400:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,680You know, I credit M. Knight for doing that on such a successful show.35500:21:34,680 --> 00:21:42,320So many great shows end up kind of selling their legacy by going on far too long.35600:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,440M. Knight's new what story he wanted to tell with these characters.35700:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,920New how long it was going to take and he did it.35800:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,840So kudos to him.35900:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,000One of my favorite directors ever.36000:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,720Let's talk to Uncle George Boris McGeaver.36100:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,560Hi, Boris.36200:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,960How are you?36300:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,400First of all, thank you so much for speaking with me.36400:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,200One of my favorite shows ever.36500:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,960And how has it been for you, the entire ride has been crazy as Uncle George as a viewer, has36600:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,760it been as fun to play him as it is for us to watch him.36700:22:18,760 --> 00:22:19,760Yes.36800:22:19,760 --> 00:22:20,760No question.36900:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,760Absolutely.37000:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,000I was saying earlier this is the most fun I've had with the character in 30 years.37100:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,400And I'm going to have a 30 with 31 years.37200:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,280It's so much fun.37300:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,480It's just a little wackiest.37400:22:33,480 --> 00:22:43,160As you know, we are the direction I got at my audition five years ago from night was I can37500:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,160tell you about it.37600:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,160It was three pronged.37700:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,120It had nothing to do with each other.37800:22:47,120 --> 00:22:54,600Like your spiritual guy, your

00:26:44,080I'm a good guy.46500:26:44,080 --> 00:26:53,080Matilda, her character snake is so interesting because so far in the series as you'll see,46600:26:53,080 --> 00:26:59,200it's like, I like her, but I also don't because I'm not exactly sure which side she's46700:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,080on, the good side or the bad side.46800:27:02,080 --> 00:27:09,040So we shall see as we continue the series coming to a conclusion by that episode.46900:27:09,040 --> 00:27:18,52010 next up, director and writer, filmmaker and M. Knight's M. Knight Shyamalan's daughter,47000:27:18,520 --> 00:27:24,520Ishana Shyamalan.47100:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,360So first of all, I love the show, one of my favorites ever.47200:27:28,360 --> 00:27:30,480I love the first few episodes of season four.47300:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,880I can't wait to see the rest of it.47400:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,240How for you was it?47500:27:35,240 --> 00:27:42,240Was it like to be able to be a part of this world that's such a well built, well written series?47600:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,240Absolutely.47700:27:43,240 --> 00:27:48,640I mean, I think coming in with material, that's that good and kind of a high concept, that's47800:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,040that's that good, really inspires you as a creative to meet those standards and keep pushing47900:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,120the box kind of creatively.48000:27:56,120 --> 00:28:01,160So I mean, this is the dream situation, I think, as both a writer and director, because48100:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,800you get to come in and really just imagine anything.48200:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,760And many, many wonderful colors to play with.48300:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,760So yeah.48400:28:07,760 --> 00:28:15,760And for you, this give you more of a bug to create, you know, as a director, writer, producer,48500:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,520is it, are you like on fire now?48600:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,520Oh, absolutely.48700:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,440I think when you find that thing that feels like your passion, you know it immediately, and48800:28:23,440 --> 00:28:28,040that's definitely how I felt being on the show, it was just sort of felt like where48900:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,040I needed to be.49000:28:29,040 --> 00:28:34,760So yeah, and getting to hone my skills on this set and sort of become a more muscular49100:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,520writer director, I now feel like I can enter the kind of film world feeling good.49200:28:39,520 --> 00:28:47,240So do you have an interest in the types of projects that your father night is known for those,49300:28:47,240 --> 00:28:52,680you know, which I'm obsessed with, those like kind of interesting, sometimes weird,

think I don't know if it's a choice or not, but I feel I was born49700:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,920into this life where that material is just the most interesting to me and have a dark side as well.49800:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,720So I'm very excited to kind of be putting that into the film sphere.49900:29:12,720 --> 00:29:13,720Yeah.50000:29:13,720 --> 00:29:14,720Awesome.50100:29:14,720

favorite episode so far,51300:29:52,040 --> 00:29:58,120which is episode three called Sayons, which will come out next week with Bev and Bobby51400:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,200as I've been talking about for weeks.51500:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,040So I think it's interesting that she wrote and directed that episode.51600:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,760It's my favorite one so far.51700:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,440And that is all because of Shana.51800:30:09,440 --> 00:30:15,440So we'll be hearing a lot from Ishana Shama-laan coming in time.51900:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,280I am really, really sure of that.52000:30:18,280 --> 00:30:26,720Next up, Bobby, who you haven't yet met, but you will in next week's episode three titled52100:30:26,720 --> 00:30:27,720Sayons.52200:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,960I guess it's season four episode three titled Sayons.52300:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,280And she plays half of the pair of Bev and Bobby, who you are going to love.52400:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,120I think just as much as I do.52500:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,760So here she is.52600:30:38,760 --> 00:30:47,240Stage and screen actor Barbara Kingsley.52700:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,840My favorite part about season four so far.52800:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,200Watch the first three four episodes is Bev and Bobby.52900:30:53,200 --> 00:30:59,320I absolutely love Bev and how is it for you?53000:30:59,320 --> 00:31:05,840Because you ladies just kind of came in your whirlwind in the series.53100:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,960How much fun was that for you to kind of do this?53200:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960Just it was just crazy fun.53300:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,480We had never met.53400:31:13,480 --> 00:31:20,840I knew Denny's work, but if you look up my resume or my bio, it's no secret that I spent 3553500:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,720years in Minnesota.53600:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,040Running the craft of stage.53700:31:25,040 --> 00:31:31,880And so as a result, I learned a lot from Denny.53800:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,880She's a chef.53900:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,280We're very different as human beings.54000:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,680So very different.54100:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,400But she has this sense of whimsy about her.54200:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,600And then she'll just do laser focus.54300:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,800And so whenever we were working, I don't know.54400:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,520I will find out how much you see the two of us interacting with each other.54500:31:52,520 --> 00:31:59,280But it was always we were always this duo that fed off each other, which was so cool.54600:31:59,280 --> 00:32:07,240And it's interesting that you came from this stage because servant is very much for me almost54700:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,080like a play that all kind of takes place mostly in this house.54800:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,520And it's very tight writing.54900:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,120That house so badly.55000:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,200And I wandered around going, "My mom has that."55100:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,360You know, "Wow, it is."55200:32:22,360 --> 00:32:23,760I wanted to go there and live.55300:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,640And I thought that karma would be a little weird.55400:32:26,640 --> 00:32:27,640Kind of.55500:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,640Yeah, it very much.55600:32:29,640 --> 00:32:34,520So I got to tell you, I went to the sale of the, yes.55700:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,760And I got a couple of things from Bevin' Bobby's apartment, which I thought was amazing.55800:32:38,760 --> 00:32:39,760Yeah.55900:32:39,760 --> 00:32:40,760Oh, my god.56000:32:40,760 --> 00:32:41,760It's so cool.56100:32:41,760 --> 00:32:42,760Yeah.56200:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,160It really was really cool.56300:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,160Yeah.56400:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,880I don't want it to go, but I was afraid to make me really sad.56500:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,400And then I'd be like, "Oh, can I even afford to buy that?"56600:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,400I don't know.56700:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,400Yeah.56800:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,400Yeah.56900:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,400They had some awesome, you

00:34:16,280I don't think that I would have been able to60500:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,040have the confidence to go and make a feature60600:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,000if I didn't do the

00:35:25,320What was it like for you?63100:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,200You know, you've been there since day one.63200:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,560What was it like for you to finish,63300:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,800you know, this incredible story?63400:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,280Yeah, it was really kind of looting.63500:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,520I mean, from personal level,63600:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,760I was just being a part of the show for so long.63700:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,600I think personally as well.63800:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,760I mean, I've been, obviously, my history is part of which63900:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,920was a very long term, kind of job.64000:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,360But in a way, this felt a little bit more kind of64100:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,160significant in many ways, because I became a dad64200:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,520halfway through, we had the little COVID interrupted our shooting.64300:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,960So it really feels like we've been on this incredible journey64400:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,920for the last five years.64500:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,400And yeah, for it to kind of suddenly wrap up,64600:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,080is it's always hard.64700:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,240I think we're always gonna miss the people.64800:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,960I think it's the perfect time to finish and I think64900:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,320where the show has kind of gone now,65000:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,160it's really interesting.65100:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,000Yeah, no.65200:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,800And it just kind of changed directions.65300:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,800And you never really know where you are with it.65400:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,400I mean, there's a lot of questions we have to answer in this season.65500:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,400So it's, I think it comes to a very satisfying conclusion for sure.65600:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,720Yeah, I can't wait to, I'm dying to see.65700:36:28,720 --> 00:36:30,520And now I have like a month, you don't know me65800:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,320to catch up, you know.65900:36:32,320 --> 00:36:37,320But one of the things that I love is your character and how,66000:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,600you know, they are all, all the characters are flawed, right?66100:36:41,600 --> 00:36:48,920But yours is very, he is very open and sometimes66200:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,400born with, you know, what's happening?66300:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,160Is that refreshing for you to do something that's just kind of raw?66400:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,040Yeah, absolutely.66500:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,440I love, whatever, when I first read,66600:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,880Julian, he's just got such a very specific way of speaking.66700:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,680I love his kind of freeness with his words.66800:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,680And there's just nothing that he's not afraid of anything.66900:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,280Particularly in the early seasons,67000:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,000he's this very strong character who's kind of,67100:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,040kind of the perfect person to have in this situation.67200:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,800Because he's very cool headed and he's always got an answer.67300:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,960But I mean, as we see, as his kind of unpeeled67400:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,320to other seasons, there's a lot of guilt he's holding on to.67500:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,400And a lot of things he's kind of dealing with.67600:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,960So he's a lot weaker than we really perceive originally.67700:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,600And that's the interesting to kind of,67800:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,560it's been interesting to kind of unpeak that.67900:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,560Yeah, yeah.68000:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,200And finally, what's next for you?68100:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,000What do you have your next project lined up68200:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,760or you're taking some time off?68300:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,000Yeah, I go to the movie with tonight,68400:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,280it comes out next month.68500:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,560You're not, yeah, yeah.68600:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,800But yeah, I mean, since then, no, I think just home68700:37:46,800 --> 00:37:47,720just being a dad as well.68800:37:47,720 --> 00:37:48,360I'm enjoying it.68900:37:48,360 --> 00:37:48,960Yeah.69000:37:48,960 --> 00:37:49,760Congratulations.69100:37:49,760 --> 00:37:50,160Thank you.69200:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,280Thank you for speaking with me.69300:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,360I really appreciate it.69400:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,160"Rupert Grant, love, love, love, love him."69500:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,400This is my fourth interview with "Rupert Grant"69600:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,480and all four have been about servant69700:38:05,480 --> 00:38:06,920one for each season.69800:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,680So that's exciting that, you know,69900:38:10,680 --> 00:38:15,200I think now we'll have to have Justin check.70000:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,760But I think now the cast of servant70100:38:18,760 --> 00:38:24,080are my most frequent guests with four appearances each on the show.70200:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,040So that's really cool.70300:38:26,040 --> 00:38:26,880At IT.70400:38:26,880 --> 00:38:31,320So speaking of one of my favorite directors ever,70500:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,800let's get into talking to him live from the red carpet70600:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,440in New York for the servant season four premiere.70700:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,920Here's M Night Shyamala.70800:38:41,920 --> 00:38:47,680Hey, night, how are you?70900:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,000Good to see you.71000:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,960So you are here for season four premiere.71100:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,520What does that like for you knowing?71200:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,440You know, this is the last premiere for this world.71300:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,240Yeah, I mean, it's a very rare thing to be able to do it.71400:39:02,240 --> 00:39:05,800A TV show on your own terms for the entire time71500:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,800and finish it because it was the right time to finish it.71600:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,760And the audience is still at the peak of their love for the show.71700:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,400That's the rare, right?71800:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,440You're leaving when you're at the peak of the audience's love71900:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,280for the show because the story has finished.72000:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,840And so that's just a beautiful thing.72100:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,000And the whole thing has been kind of poetic on so many,72200:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,880so many levels both, you know, I got to work with my girls,72300:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,360our girls got to be a part of it, but all the filmmakers72400:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,160that I got to work with from around the world,72500:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,520it just all feels like a dream that I wished to be this way.72600:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,800And if you really, you know, so rarely in life,72700:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,360does it exceed your expectations and this did?72800:39:43,360 --> 00:39:49,200For you with, you know, with this world that you've built,72900:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,240would you make that choice going forward to know73000:39:52,240 --> 00:39:54,440that there's going to be a beginning, middle?73100:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,280And because that is relatively rare today,73200:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,160is that a choice you're going to be doing from now on?73300:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,600Or do you kind of sometimes like the excitement of maybe it goes73400:40:05,600 --> 00:40:06,560wherever it goes?73500:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,960No, no, this is a big subject to me, what you're referencing,73600:40:09,960 --> 00:40:15,560the idea of don't let opportunity dictate your decisions.73700:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,560That can't be the way.73800:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,760I know that's contrary to the business,73900:40:19,760 --> 00:40:25,040but it should be the story and the creativity dictates your decisions.74000:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,840And as we laid it out, it was four seasons.74100:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,280You know, did everyone want to fifth and a sixth and a seventh?74200:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,440Yes, but that's the way it felt.74300:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,760And also what I could give at that level, you know,74400:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,480where I want to put in every sound effect,74500:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,960I want to adjust every color, I want to do every key with a composer.74600:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,960So to do that requires an incredible amount of dedication.74700:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,360And this is as much as I could give without stopping74800:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,600making movies.74900:40:50,600 --> 00:40:57,520And so I let the process and the story dictate how long the show should be.75000:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,920And so it was a beautiful thing.75100:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,880And yes, we do it again, the same exact thing.75200:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,760You know, you let the story dictates it and we're out.75300:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,520No matter how much money, no matter how much opportunity,75400:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,880you guys will smell that.75500:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,120Yeah.75600:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,800And that is why I've told you this before.75700:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,200That is why I wanted to buy it's one of my top three shows,75800:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,840ever, is because that authenticity that, you know, it's all about the story.75900:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,720And just a side note, I got to tell you, went to the sale.76000:41:22,720 --> 00:41:25,120And I got a couple of cool things.76100:41:25,120 --> 00:41:25,920I'm like, "I love it."76200:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,320So now I have a piece of one of my favorite shows.76300:41:28,320 --> 00:41:33,600So yeah, as a big film buff, and you are too, you know, with that means.76400:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,200So anyway, thank you.76500:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,520Congratulations on the success of servant.76600:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,120And thank you for speaking with me again.76700:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,120Thank you.76800:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,120Thank you.76900:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,200Love him.77000:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,160I seriously never get sick of talking
