00:00When you first read the script for the final episode of season four, what was your reaction?

00:04Holy fuck. Can I say that? Holy fuck. Holy fuck. And about time. Because I thought she was going

00:12to die sooner than she did. Yeah. So I had like a pretty good run, actually.

00:19There's some fan speculation that maybe she's not dead. Can you confirm or deny?

00:24That's so hopeful and I love it. I haven't heard anything. I'm going to say she's cut

00:30in half and she's pretty dead. Yeah. Pretty dead. What do you think the future holds,

00:36though, for her man and her father figure? I would hope that Stan Edgar takes Zoe under his wing

00:46because she's at Red River now, which is just the opposite of where Newman wanted her to end up.

00:51So I would hope he would step in and save her. But it's a dark show, guys, so we don't know.

00:57Oh, Samir. Yeah. What's going to happen with Samir? I hope he doesn't lose any more limbs.

01:01That's just like just first and foremost. I really want him to keep all of his limbs.

01:07Fifty five million people have tuned into season four.

01:10What goes through your mind when you hear that number? Again, holy fuck.

01:14It's surreal, but it's also amazing because you just see how much of a reach the show has. And

01:20that's I mean, you want that for any project that you work on. You want you want, you know, you want

01:27an audience to to like it and to engage with it. And I think it's a great show and it's been it's

01:31got fantastic writers and and just a brilliant creative in Eric Kripke. So I, you know, even if

01:39I wasn't on the show, I'd I'd say I think it it's it deserves it. It's such a great show.

01:47Sometimes it feels like we're currently living in an episode of The Boys.

01:50What's your take on the way that the show somehow seems to predict real life events?

01:55It's very surreal. I would say that the show has always had social has always made social commentary

02:02and and I think it really holds a mirror up to the to the world that we're currently living in.

02:11I think it just does a really good job at that. I would say it's purely coincidental,

02:18the things that have unfolded. But I don't know, the show is always kind of skewed that way. And

02:24it just so happens that it it kind of just mirrors reality. Yeah.

02:33You guys got to announce the spinoff VotRising here today. What are you excited to see in that

02:37show? Any single frame of that show. I didn't know about it. I found out today. So I I cannot

02:46wait to watch that show, even if I wasn't on this show. That sounds amazing. Jensen and Aya is that

02:52I cannot wait to watch that duo like that's it's gonna be good. This is a historical spinoff. So I

02:58mean, that means we can go back in time for possible spinoffs. What's your pitch for a

03:02Victoria Newman spinoff? Maybe her college age or coming up in politics? What do you think?

03:08Oh, wow. Younger. I want to see her like in her youth, like Red River Days when she's at

03:14the orphanage and not having a great time and just like awkward teenage years

03:18mixed with exploding heads. I think it's great. I think it's a good pitch.
