00:06Hi! Buongiorno. Buongiorno, ciao. Ciao. In the beginning, when did you realize that Tepit
00:13is something special? Well, you know, it's a great question. You know, we often do the first
00:24season of a show and you never know. You're like, oh, is this one going to be it? Am I
00:29going to be
00:29here for five seasons? Am I going to be here for one? Is it going to get canceled? You know,
00:33with
00:33John Wells, Scott Gimmel, Noah, you know, the first episode when I read it, it had a thing to it
00:41that
00:41I think people are really craving, an immediacy and a different kind of storytelling.
00:48The familiarity, in a way. Yeah. Go ahead. No, no, no, that's it. I mean, I wasn't part of first
00:53season, so I discovered it with the rest of the world. And I'm, I don't know if I should confess
01:01this, but I'm not a huge fan of medical procedurals. So I've never really found myself lost in one of
01:07these shows. But this is different. It's unique. And I think it's because of its point of view,
01:12because it brings these important societal issues to the forefront, because of the relatability of
01:18these characters. And it's a moment where we need heroes, you know, we're kind of flailing
01:23in the world right now and seeing people who are doing good, not for novelty, but but for the sake
01:30of
01:30humanity. It's it's just inspiring. Yeah, they're fighters, you know, and they're they're inherently
01:35decent. Yes. All of them, really. Yeah. And so it's just it's a nice it kind of it is a
01:42challenging
01:42time in our world. So to see what these people are facing every day and how they're facing it is
01:49is very compelling. Empathy is the is the core of the show. Yeah. And I ask you, is empathy a
01:56superpower
01:57nowadays? Sure feels like it. I mean, it's something that we have all have such easy access to and
02:05something that we are being distracted from our hearts, our ability to connect and relate.
02:13Just I think this is why since the beginning of time, we we've needed story to sort of lose
02:18ourselves in, because these fictional worlds actually help us understand the why the reason
02:24why the Greek tragedies and it's because it makes us reflect on on our reality through these, you know,
02:30realities or these fictitious places. So I think empathy has become a little bit more inaccessible
02:37to us, but it's another credit to the pit. It's it's actually helping people tap into to their their
02:45empathy and and their humanity. Sure. Um, I think that was a perfect answer. I think, you know,
02:54people in leadership need to access that more. I think there's it's we're coming we're coming into
03:01a time where, um, it's almost like they're trying not to, uh, be empathetic. And so
03:09because it doesn't help profit most of the time, right? So is it a superpower? I think it's just a
03:16general, you know, lack of understanding right now that's happening in the world. And, and yeah,
03:22it seems like profit seems to take over. So maybe profit is the superpower.
03:29An emergency, an emergency doctor is always under pressure. How do you handle pressure in your work?
03:36I think one of the key components of, of this work is, um, it's so unique. It's kind of like
03:46making a
03:46movie. It's an incredibly collaborative process. The it's a team of people that are, um, so competent
03:54in what they do. And, um, in that synergy, you know, uh, in the face of life and death, you
04:01know,
04:01not that that filmmaking is any way like that, but there is a pressure and a kind of, it's such
04:07a
04:07collaborative process. So it's, they're very comparable in a lot of ways. Um, so that's,
04:13that's one way to sort of handle the pressure. I mean, pressure can make something burst and,
04:18and destroy it, or it can create diamonds, you know? So it's like, we, we are in a bit of
04:24a
04:24pressure cooker with the show, especially now. I mean, I just joined second season, but,
04:28but there is enormous pressure, I think to, to deliver or to, to sort of satisfy the audience's
04:35appetite for the show and the, uh, maintain that authenticity. Um, but I don't think that's
04:40necessarily a bad thing. I think that's where beauty and, and art can sort of thrive. If
04:47there isn't pressure, that means there's not enough energy and not enough sort of focus
04:51towards, towards what you're making. Um, so yeah, I, I definitely feel, uh, a positive
04:56pressure with, with the show.
04:59The Pete says unity is the only thing that can save us. Do you agree with that?
05:05Wait, say, I'm sorry, say that again.
05:08Unity, unity is the only thing that can save us. Do you agree?
05:13I think so. I, I think, um, might be a little bit more complicated than that, but I think community,
05:21I think, um, empathy, um, I think, um, realizing how interdependent we are as a species, um, which
05:31we saw during COVID that, you know, it seemed like we're all living in our sort of, uh, um,
05:39compartmentalized places in the world. And, um, we realized with COVID that do borders really even
05:44exist? We're all sharing in this, this experience. Um, and it helped us understand, connect and relate
05:50to people that maybe otherwise we wouldn't have related to. Um, so I think that, um, recognizing our
05:57our own sort of connection to one another, our interdependence, the value and importance of
06:02community, not just individuality. Um, yeah. Which is part of this, this, um, desire to amalgamate,
06:10to sort of like connect and unite.
06:12Yeah. The, the, the beautiful thing about the pit, and we've, we've talked about it a lot is,
06:18is, you know, it is a diverse and challenging and complicated world. And these heroes have to
06:28just tackle it without judgment. Yeah. And, um, it's, it's a great example of how other things
06:35could possibly be, but unfortunately it's not the way it is. And, you know, we deal with that, but, um,
06:42Yeah. I mean, the hospital is the great equalizer, right? It doesn't matter if you're a billionaire,
06:45doesn't matter if you're a houseless person, you know, when you get that diagnosis or you have
06:50that disease or injury doesn't really matter. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank
06:57you. Thank you. Ciao. Bye.
