00:00Linda, I have to say, I'm a huge Scooby-Doo fan, so this is a big moment.
00:05But that leads me to my first question.
00:06What's more uncomfortable, the ump gear that Carol wears or Velma's head-toe latex jumpsuit?
00:13Oof, that's a good one.
00:14I think that jumpsuit was...
00:18You know, we were in Australia in the summer and it was...
00:20Oof, hot.
00:22Oh, no, wait, that was Canada.
00:23That wasn't as hot.
00:23That was the second one.
00:24I've never seen this movie.
00:25You wear a head-toe.
00:25You are in for a treat.
00:28You have never seen Scooby-Doo?
00:30Wait, is Alicia Silverstone the...
00:32In the second one.
00:33In this, yes.
00:33You're the first one?
00:34I'm in two of them.
00:35You're in both.
00:36She plays Velma.
00:37She's one of the Scooby gang.
00:38I know she was Velma.
00:38No, no, I know of her.
00:41I don't...
00:41I just haven't seen it.
00:43He's heard of me.
00:43No, I know of the legend that is Linda Cardellini's performance of Velma and what it's done for
00:48the culture.
00:49Yeah.
00:49But I just don't know...
00:50So you're in two movies, Scooby-Doo.
00:51I am.
00:52Okay, and one of them you wear a jumpsuit.
00:54I wear it.
00:55I do.
00:56I do.
00:56Where's the hell out of it?
00:57I mean, spoiler alert.
00:58Watch out.
00:59I also wanted to ask about the ASL to Peronis thing.
01:02I don't think...
01:02How did you get your curve and like we talk about the...
01:04Oh, yeah.
01:05No, he brings that up.
01:06Yes.
01:07No, it's true.
01:07In the 7-Eleven.
01:09Yep.
01:09He brings that up.
01:10Yes.
01:10I don't know if...
01:11I have a curve in my penis greater than 30 degrees, so that's Peronis.
01:16So, you know what?
01:19It was just...
01:19You know, it's a great field report, man.
01:22Way to be.
01:22Far as four episodes in, I don't think we've had...
01:25You've got to wait till 7, I think, to get to the full story.
01:27Because he tells the story several times.
01:29Yeah.
01:30I think he tells the story in the hip-hop studio.
01:32He says, you want to hear about my curve?
01:33I'll tell you a little bit about it.
01:35And then he starts it.
01:36And then he gets distracted or he gets pulled away.
01:39That was one of the funniest little jokes throughout.
01:41I've been developing this series for about four years.
01:44And that's been in there since the very beginning is this thing where, Steve, you can't have
01:50a guy tell a story.
01:51Like, every episode.
01:53Just like a little bit.
01:53And then be like, oh, shoot.
01:55I've got to go.
01:57And then he was like, yes, we can.
01:59And he was right.
02:00Because it's really funny.
02:01But yeah, there's a great payoff to that.
02:04Where you actually get a lot of insight into this marriage.
02:09And you get a lot of insight into who Floyd is as a human being, for sure.
02:14But you think it's just going to be a silly thing.
02:17We have a bunch of little silly things.
02:18And then in the end, it really is a big, huge emotional payoff.
02:21So again, we'll talk to you in April when you've seen episode 7.
02:24And a slight hint towards the answer about the death, too.
02:28Yes, exactly.
02:29You guys are all doing something for the culture here.
02:32We have some great moments that come out of the series.
02:34So there's a scene in episode 1 where they preview you at the concert.
02:45It's just...
02:48What was the direction there?
02:49Was it really just go, have fun, just cut loose?
02:53Or were there like actual...
02:54Did you go through a dance class to get into the character for that?
02:58Yeah, I mean, we had some choreography.
02:59We had some good choreographers.
03:00The main thing was like, I looked at some videos of those viral, you know, people that
03:06go, that are ASL interpreters at these concerts that do like, you know, there's one girl who's
03:11incredible who does Baby Got Back.
03:13And she like, is at a concert doing it and somebody's filming it and she's incredible.
03:19But she really is just like, letting loose and just doing it.
03:22And I was like, I want to do that.
03:23Like, that's what I want you to feel.
03:25And I did my best.
03:27I did my best.
03:29But yeah, I worked with somebody.
03:31We worked on it.
03:32And then, you know, Todrick Hall comes and does the concert for us.
03:35And just, you know, we did it like twice.
03:38Just two takes.
03:39And I guess it's okay.
03:40But I could have worked on it a lot harder.
03:43But it was, yeah, it was like super wild.
03:45There were so many moments where I had to pause and be like, what am I watching right now?
03:48The routine that you do in, I believe it's episode three, on the jungle gym.
04:06Was that you?
04:07Can you just, was that you?
04:09Yeah, that's me.
04:09Of course it is.
04:10An Olympic pommel horse routine.
04:12That's me.
04:13It's so funny when people say that because there are moments when I can't even like.
04:18I can't keep yourself up.
04:20It is so insane.
04:22It's very funny.
04:22I have the footage of us stitching that together.
04:26But we had a lovely gentleman who is like number one in the world in Atlanta.
04:33He's excellent, though.
04:35He's about, you know, the size of you.
04:38And they put him in a big old Michelin Man outfit.
04:41And he was amazing.
04:43And I actually did have to tell him.
04:45I was like, can you tone it down a little bit?
04:46Because the first thing he did was like crazy windmills and this whole.
04:49I was like, just tone it down a little bit.
04:50Make it a little bit more.
04:52But it's an amazing moment.
04:54Jason and I were talking about it.
04:55There's all these things throughout the series where these little bonbons of like hyper reality
05:01that stay grounded enough for you to watch the show.
05:03But also kind of, as you say, like make you stop and go like, what is this?
05:07And I love making TV like that.
05:09There's also a big emotional payoff in episode four when Floyd goes to the doctor and passes
05:14his physical.
05:15But you passed.
05:16I passed.
05:19Yes, acing, it wasn't even, wasn't realistic.
05:22That my goal was to pass.
05:25Passing wasn't even realistic like two weeks ago.
05:28Yeah.
05:29So much comes across your face.
05:31Like you're so proud.
05:32You're feeling this emotionality.
05:35But then also it's so insignificant to the doctor who's just standing there.
05:39Yeah, you passed.
05:40And it made me wonder if you had any moments like that where you were so proud of something
05:44you did on this project.
05:46Almost every day so proud of doing a scene and then having Bateman's cold, dead reptilian stare
05:53saying, is it time for lunch?
05:56And walking off.
05:59Yeah, no, that's just my rest face.
06:01I need a lift.
06:02Yeah, it did feel like, I mean, it's hard to say you feel, I have a hard time being, I'm
06:07proud of myself.
06:07I felt proud of them.
06:09I felt proud of everybody too.
06:11And there would be times when we knew we had like pages and pages of dialogue.
06:16There would be pages and we'd see each other before and be like, what are you going to,
06:18oh, I'm going to go home and learn these six pages of dialogue.
06:21You felt accomplished in a way that you don't feel on every set.
06:25And it's super specific.
06:27He writes like people speak in the sense of syntax, you know, like there's ellipses all
06:34the way through things and half sentences and then you repeat stuff and that's the way
06:40we talk.
06:41You have to act into that to make that seem real, like that stuff was sort of challenging
06:48and I felt like we were really proud of ourselves to make, to not, to honor the way in which,
06:55the specific way in which he wrote some of this dialogue.
06:57You have to act into that too.
06:57on.
