00:00Hi. Hi, guys. How are you? So good. Good. Well, the show is back and it's happy. I'm happy that
00:07it's back. I'm sure you guys are, too. Oh, yeah. Big time. Ryan, we'll start with you. Did you
00:12ever think the show would be back? Honestly, no. I mean, I know we always wanted to. And we that
00:20was like our big fantasy as friends and castmates. Like we're like, when can we do it? When are we
00:25going to do it? And there's been attempts before and it just hasn't really happened. So I didn't
00:30think it was ever going to happen because it's been so long. And when we got the call that
00:34it was, we were all ecstatic and texting each other. And it's just the greatest.
00:38I tried to call, but Ryan would never pick up.
00:41Answer his call. Text me, bro. I was limited to text. Yeah. Well, oftentimes I'd text him
00:47and say, could you just DM me? And then I could see that he didn't see it. Like he knew that
00:52then I was DMing him and I wouldn't ever say seen. So never going to read those.
00:57I hate phone calls as well. So I get it. Um, Martin, for you, I'm curious. I hate phone
01:01calls. Um, Martin, I'm curious as the actors, did you guys have a say in where
01:05your character storylines were when the show picked up on this new season all
01:09these years later? It would be a waste of energy to, to try to undermine the genius
01:15of John Enbaum. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Understandable. Um, Ryan, I know obviously
01:22unfortunately, Lizzie Kaplan couldn't be a part of this as the only original cast
01:26member. How much of a bummer was that for her not to be back with the gang?
01:29It was not that big of a bummer. We all moved on very quickly. No, she, well, we
01:34also didn't have Jennifer Coolidge, but, um, yeah, it was, it was a massive bummer
01:39because Lizzie has been such a champion for the show and has always wanted to get us
01:43all back together. Um, so the fact that she, the scheduling didn't work out was
01:47a massive, massive poo-poo bummer. It's a bummer. I don't know if you're familiar
01:53with poo-poo bummers. That's if you don't have children, you probably wouldn't know
01:57what a poo-poo bummer is. I don't. So this might be a new term for me. It's like a,
02:01it's like a blowout. Yeah. Well, yeah. It goes right up the back. Would you guys have
02:07loved to have another hair thing? No. Well, that's also a blowout. Anyway, I'm loving,
02:11this is like, so literally like a moment from the show that's happening in real
02:15life right now that I get to win. This is how we write it. There actually is no
02:18John M. Baum. He doesn't exist. Did you guys, I'm curious for each of you,
02:23when's this all kind of came together? Did you guys go back before filming
02:26started and watch the old episodes? And was there, was that startling if you did
02:30so? Yeah, I watched it. I watched a handful. I didn't watch the whole thing,
02:35but, um, and there were, I was like, Oh, uh, we couldn't do a lot of this now, but you know,
02:41we grow and we learn and it's still funny, but you know, maybe we do some of the same stuff.
02:47Who knows? Who knows what happens this season? Hopefully, hopefully it's, uh,
02:53hopefully we don't offend too many people. No, I think it's hysterical. I feel like it fits
02:58right in with the times. Um, I'm curious, how did you guys feel about the new cast members?
03:01We got Jennifer Garner, James Marsden. How did you feel about having this fresh blood on the show?
03:07Uh, great. Uh, they were, they, uh, it's, I think it's especially nice to have people
03:11who are so talented that get to come in to something that's already established so they
03:17can watch the first two seasons and understand the vibe. I think it makes it easier to, to come
03:23in and kind of know the tone of something. That's usually the hardest thing to figure out.
03:27It feels like cheating a little bit to me, but you know,
03:29Why is it cheating? He loves to cheat. I don't know why he's actually cheating.
03:35Uh, also we got Zoe and Tyrell who add to the, the cast and they're just so funny and add so much.
03:42Yeah. It's a, it's a great cast. Yeah. No, it's a great cast all in all. Well,
03:46thank you guys so much and, uh, have a great day.
