Thanks to 23andMe
Everyone needs to know their background. 23andme.com real data, real science and genetic insights.
I am all in. Oh just I am all in with Scott Patterson and I heart radio podcast Everybody, Scott Patterson, I am all in podcast special Episodes twenty three and me um Our sponsors today, and we're gonna you know, we all took the test. We all did our DNA test. I think Danielle and I did it. We're going to discuss it. Yeah, I haven't done it yet. I'm getting here about you guys. And then I think, yeah, we're going to hear what happened for you guys. But you have to do it. You need to do it. It's the easiest thing in the entire world. It's just like a little swab in the mouth and you ship it off and like a few weeks later, it comes back in the mail and Waila, you know so much more about yourself. It's really cool. Daniel I mean, I learned so much, so much. Goot, you did it too, Yeah, I did it too. And and you know, they keep you informed via email as to where they are on the process, like a six step seven step process, you know. And we've now, um, we're now starting to analyze your DNA. It's in the lab right now. And professors doctor. You know, it's kind of cool. And then and then you know, another couple of days later said, now you're at step three. They found some interesting things, Scott. Here's here's a preview excited or nervous, like what was your emotion? And the like we're like, what am I gonna find out? You can't click the link faster to find it on? It's so true. It's like, can you imagine, like this is your this is your past, your present, your future. Here's the link click at your Yeah, you're firing your finger through that keyboard. Man, Oh, it's interesting. It's really interesting thing. Um. Anyway, you know, everybody knows Tara s By now she's the newly minted superstar of the Minnisotia. And there she is in all the Gloria Amy Sugarman. Hello, Hello, Danielle Romo, I'm all in podcast and I Heart Radio one of leven productions special. Not only going to talk about our DNA. We have a whole theme here going Scott, you should explain our whole tie in. Well, some people, some people thought it would be a nice idea right thematically speaking loosely, you know, constructed that we get DNA background ancestry, even health reports, DNA background information, uh on and then have some background actors from the show who we've been discussing the stirring in the background and like why wise background. So so that's the that's the thread that we're doing a deep dive into your DNA. We're gonna talk to some extras on the shot. We're gonna we're gonna talk to some background actors on the show. We're going to discuss d n A, our backgrounds, um where we come from, and other things. And uh, it's gonna be a pretty interesting show. So, uh, here we are, ladies and gentlemen. Tara, Hello, do you have anything to say? Are you taking us away? And any is there any synopsis that you want to make up on the spot. Let's let's hear what you can do on the flat. We have three guests today. Um, they were all background actors, as you said, and um, so I know. One of them we found through TikTok right Amy, Yeah, yeah, and she talks about when we found on our own Instagram, So thank you guys follow us you never know what you might find on our Instagram. And then the other was a part of one of the most recent episodes that we watched, with the most iconic episode so far, we really have to ask about the music playing in the back, like how did they Yeah, we have to ask her. Totally totally great to know that they were dancing to silence at your piece in what they had going on, like a silent disco? Oh my god. First of all, Scott, do you know what that is? Silent disco? No? What is that? Silent disco? People dancing around and just go with music headphones. That's so bizarre. So when you walk in the room, it's silent, but everyone's because they have their headphones. That's the thing. Huh. Why did they invent a silent disco? Like is it so that you could have a party in a quiet neighbor Maybe because the neighbors would complain and like this is a way to sort of make your money silently. Right. The first time I've ever heard of it was at Coachella, weirdly, and it was like one of those like after hours parties at the campgrounds and it was like from like one to three in the morning. And so I think it's because it's so late at night. Well, I also at etc. They had a settle disco in like a little section but select Carnival. It's act related, Danielle, did you guys discover that you're related? Twenty three and me tell you that stuff? Yes, it does. It tells you who you're like, I mean, I think everyone knows this. It tells you like what you're at, like what you are, you know, like what your DNA shows. But it also shows you if you have like any relative matches and stuff like that. So um, Luckily all my brothers and sisters popped up for me and my mom and dad, so we're good. Any celebrities, does it show like if you're related to like Barack Obama or something, as long as they've done the test too, you know, so like but Barack Obama did not pop up for me. Um. But yeah, it shows you like anywhere from like cousins and like what percentage of d n A you share too, so like percent whatever, so you know how closely you are related to them. Yeah. It's actually very fascinating. But the one thing that I thought was really cool was all the like all the health stuff you learn about yourself too, so um, like just based off of your DNA, what diseases or um, you know, health issues you can be you know, predisposed to. So like for me, I kind of like knew this, but like, you know, like my family suffers really bad with like heart issues, high blood pressure, things like that, and it popped up for me on my on my results of course. Yeah. But it's just good to know that stuff so you can like be proactive and take care of yourself now to hopefully avoid those things in the future. So you can get your results and then talk to your doctor about it and say like, hey, anything I should be doing. Yeah, it's like, you know, you have a high risk of getting these things, you know, so it's just good to know that stuff so that you can you know, yeah, well I discovered that I'm over the average of Neanderthal DNA. That's what I was trying to remember. Neanderthal. Are you making that up? I'm not making it up. No, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, two D and thirty three genetic variants that can be traced to Neanderthals. Thank you very much. Also, uh, my maternal HOPLO group is headed by none other than Jesse James the Gunman. The Gunman. Yes, don't don't get on my bedside. So that's that's all I'm saying. Show don't get that. I have to say, it's very loop. Your results are very loop, like you are. Louh. My goodness. It also said Napoleon Napoleon Bonaparte. Um, but I already knew that, and it's amazing that they picked that up. Yes, Sir, Francis Drake, Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon Bonaparte. And there's something I really can't reveal that I'm probably going to you keep saying, because somebody did it and realized they were related, and it was like in a magazine. Keep going, keep going, Uh, what's the part you can't reveal? Reveal it? I'm part wolf? Stop it? Ok, Like believe that I am a direct descendant of my god, jer Devil. What happened? Daniel? What happened? I have eight six more percentage of neanderthought and says to see what happens are related. That's why we survived. That's why the Bloodline survives. All right, guys, back by popular demand, because this whole episode is dedicated to background acting. Scott, we have been honing our skills and we would like to have a do over from our previous background acting and give you another go at it for you to judge us. So it's going to spring this on me right here now, you didn't, ye ye. We pulled a little script for you so that you can do an actual scene from the diner, and the three of us are going to be the background. What do you mean I'm going to do the scene. You're gonna be you, You'll be Who's gonna be who? What's the Who's going to me? And Tara? Sure? Do you want to play the part of Taylor? And then Danielle and I will be the background. Yes. So as you can see, we really plan on things in advance. We do this all just by the seat of our all of those meetings, those endless midnight the planet, the structure literally in the text like dude, be ready some good times tomorrow. I'm gonna be at the dinner. Daniel We at the same table. Oh, drop, I'm already ahead of my background. Oh it's got Luke's cover of coffee. I like that mug. Where'd you get that mug? I made it? You made the mug? Yeah, like one of those like color me mind things? Would you like to make mugs for my coffee company? We'd love to sell those. Um, I don't think you want this, No I do. I do. It's like, keep talking, I'm getting a prop, keep talking, keep um so Tara, all right, you're on kid, Let's go breathing deep folks, smells like falls. Why oh you listen, I'd like to run something by you. I'm busy. I was just thinking how nice it would be if you could up a little coffee stand at the marathon. Coffee stand, I mean, yes, these people have to try and stay up for twenty four hours. What better to help you stay up than a nice strong coffee? Huh? What do you say really for bucket cup? Luke? This marathon is a charitable event, Taylor. We've been raising money to restore that stupid bridge for eight years. We're not raising money to restore the bridge. No, we have that money. The Tennessee Williams lookalike contest put us right over the top. What the hell is this dumb thing for a tarp to cover the bridge? Just the first tailor. I actually need to sit down. Well, Luke, you know as well as I do that if we start renovations now, heading right into snow and rainy part of the season, then everything we do is going to get ruined. And there we back up square one. If we are going to do this right, then we're going to need the tarp. Taylor, you're asking me to donate free coffee and hundreds of people so you can raise money to buy its harp. How about fifty cents a cup? How about I charge for cream? You would kick tiny Tim's crotch right out from under him, wouldn't you? If you ask for a free cup of coffee, give me. He's going him down. Just really looked over and Amy's like serving serving food to the camera. What is going on? I mean I felt like Taylor was like in my in my office, right, I mean that was so you nailed it, you guys. Anyone's listening has to watch the video. They were going on and on and not paying attention. Doesn't all the video. I started feeding each so sc so connected. It was his part that he wasn't really like observing our background. I'm being and he started off. I didn't memorize the scene. That's what I looked over, laughing. You guys, wait a minute, So wait a minute. You were Danielle and Amy. You you guys were spoon feeding each other. It was like this, Wow, Oh my goodness. Should we bring in real background actors? For sure? But everybody listening needs to watch us. Dude on the Instagram and tell us how we did. Because Scott was being loosen, I'm just doing my job, trying to do my job. He did great job. I think we were much improved, Danielle. In the beginning. Last time I had to do it, I don't even think you had to do it, and then we lost it. It's so boring being in it. I had a blast. I thought it was fun. I don't think I could do it for fifteen minutes, Like how long do they have to go in a diner scene? Like how long would that take to shoot? Hours? Oh no, I'm not cut out for it. I mean you're doing dozens of takes. Dozens. I stirred at that bowl pretty well, tar, did you see me in the beginning. I felt like I was crushing at the beginning three minutes and I was like, oh no, it was like that part where I messed up. I look over and I was like what, Because I was reading my script over. We were focused on our jobs, we were focused on what we're going to These days, you can be on your phone in the background, because that would be more fun just checking emails. Oh my god, I was going to be on my phone. I was like, I can't do that. In Luke's dinner. I was going to and I was like, that is so inauthentic. It's the Neanderthal DNA creeping into the work, as it often happens with me. Unfortunately, very broad choices, like a caveman or a cave woman would do er er. You know that, big, big thanks to me. We've got background acting at its finest for you coming up. Okay, and if you want to learn about your background, go to dot com. What do you your part? Irish? Yeah that I just know Irish, German. I haven't done it yet because I wanted to hear you guys do it and then I'm going to do it next. Yeah, I'm I'm Irish, German, Russian, what else? British Neanderthal. There's some Dutch, I got some Dutch. I got like, I got a five percenter. I think on the Dutch, Scotch, Irish. You both seem like blends, blends of everything you and Danielle. I didn't want to say it that way. What are you daniel what are you? I am seventy eight percent European, uh, seventy Spanish and Portuguese. Excuse me, how can you be seventy eight percent something? And and then um, I have one point five percent Ashkenazi Jewish and then weirdly enough, I have like point seven percent Egyptian and some other. Yeah that's cool, but everything it's pretty much just Spanish and Portuguese. There you go. And did you know that in did anything shock you? I mean, just like the like the little percentages of Egyptian and you know, like, yeah, just a little things like that. That was shocking. But for the most part, I was pretty on target with what I've been told my whole life, which is refreshing. It's wonderful. Congratulations you two. I mean, you know, guys, look the thing about twenty three and is the more we know about our d n A, the more we take control of our health. Right, So, I mean it just it just stands to reason. I mean, knowing information about your d n A allows you to take action, and you know, look, make the changes in your life that we all take and we all want to take and do. Take that kind of thing. Danielle used to get her heart check. I know I do, well, I definitely do. Yeah. So I mean you knew that from taking the test, right they like my dad's had the family man alright, well yeah check, get that checked out. And look, DNA is more than just understanding your past, right, I mean, that's that's one of the really cool aspects about it. But it's it's about taking control of your future, right, I mean it really, really truly, especially your your healthy future. Um. You know, look, a personal health experience can start with meaningful information from again, your DNA. It's just as simple as that. I have a question for you, how much like how much of your DNA plays intervene a good actor like you? A great question? Oh my god? Like, do you have any relatives that were you know of the arts? Well, my mother was always considered to be the best actress in the town we grew up, and we had a in hadden Field, New Jersey. We had this thing called plays and Players, hadden Field Plays and Players, and it's a pretty reputable theater company. And my mother and father were involved in that in their youth before I was even born. And from what I was told by all of our friends is that your mother was very gifted, and she was a really gifted character actress and your dad stunk. Wait, that's so cool. Yes, yes, um, oh my god, great question. You got it from your mama. Manning answer, So do you think probably my someone I have a relative that was a background actor, considering obviously a line of line of Sugarman's on IMDb credited for extra work. Oh my god, that's such a good question and such a fascinating answer. Is in the d n A. I think my father ran on stage once. He had a couple of lines and he forgot his lines and then he ran off. And also, you can sing, so I'm assuming someone in your family can sing usually that's definitely past. Um. My mother could not carry a tune to save her life. I don't know about my dad. I don't know if I'm really that good a singer. Um Oh, there's people that are really good singers and they can just do it right. They could do it when they were caring. People are hearing that well. I think I'm right in the middle. I don't think I'm gifted. Who's an amazing singer that has a child that's also an amazing singer. I mean, I know there's a million, but um, all that's coming to my mind is Carly Simon and James Taylor's kids can both sing. Judie Garland and Liza and Ellen Good one example, Barry Manilowe and Gary Malow. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know. I don't know Libaraci and Lipparaci Jr. Oh. Somebody just Saidley Cyrus Cyrus is Miley's and amy and you guys know this as well as I do. Miley Cyrus is a fiercely talented person. Yeah, she she could be the biggest rock singer in the world if she focused on that. She did a cover, she did a Metallica cover at Glastonbury a couple of years ago. That just blew the doors off. I mean it was what about her that's on TikTok right now when she's doing like Papa, don't preach she is. Her range is unbelievable. The Jackson five there you go there right right? How about the Jonas brothers, the Jonas brothers, but do they have children that sing? And did their parents and three brothers and I don't know about that. Bonus Jonas if you can carry it to Bonus Jonas anyway, continue on, Scott, thank you, thank you. So what enlightening, empowering and maybe life changing things can your genetics tell you? And that's that's a question at me wants you to answer. D n A is amazing. Not only does it help you understand your ancestry, but it can also help you understand your chances of developing certain conditions. So that to me is the real value. It's the intrinsic value of this this process in this company is is just having a healthy future and having a great time going back into the past and into your family tree and see where they came from. You. I think we should try it, and I will try. I think you should try it. It's really really cool. It's up my nose, right, it just goes in my mouth. No, it's not a swab up the nose. It's you spit into the little container. It's a little spittle. Yeah, you spend a couple of times and you get it up to the line and there you go. It's not a big deal. You know, everybody should try it. I really think it's it's fascinating and it's you know, there's a lot of information it gave me about my health and I I'll share some and some I won't, but it's you know, you know, it's it's help. The other thing, it's totally private. So like we happen to be on a podcast talking about it. But when you get the information, you can keep it to yourself too, and then do you know, do what you want with it? You don't. We don't have to do a whole podcast, right. I mean not to be too dramatic here, but this this company is saving lives. They are They're absolutely saving life. So anyway, good on here for that three and may everybody get out there and and check this company out. I think it's twenty three and me dot com uh and order your kids and and take that journey because it's it's fascinating. I would never have known how much of the Neanderthal I truly was unless it was for this company. Thanks so much. Ye Sarah, we have Sarah. First, let me bring her in. Hello, Hi, welcome to the show. Where you Where Where you? Where are you today? I'm outside Seattle? Oh great? Great? So look we're doing twenty three and me background ancestry slash background actor episode today and you're our first guest on this portion of it. Um, what's your background? What's your first? Of all, have you ever done twenty three and me? Have you ever checked into your lineage and your family trade and the heritage all that I have? In fact? Yes? What are you? A? Very uh, Northern European but mostly British Isles, Scottish, English, Welsh, pretty much all up in that area. Well we have something in common on the Welsh, Irish Scottish thing. Um so let's all right, So let's let's get into the background acting. How did you get the role of background actor on the show on Gilmore? Uh? So, I moved down to l a uh and got a job taking tickets at Universal Studios before I signed up with Central Casting. And uh, I was twenty three years old and looked younger, and so uh was able to get on Gilmore Girls as an eight team to look younger students and um, so yeah, so literally called into Central Casting to try and get jobs and Gilmore Girls was one of them. And refresh my memory, what what episode and scene were you in? I was in the Francy bathroom scene, which I hear you enjoyed. Oh, I enjoyed that so much. It was one of it's one of my favorite scenes in the whole fun. Oh yeah, yeah, so you were in that. Yes, I recognized starting the door as guarding the doors. Were guarding the door. Um. So what was your experience like on the show. Do you have a great time or what was it like? Oh? I loved it, loved it. Um. It was obviously a show that was incredibly hectic. I'm sure to work on daily with the hours and all that. Um, especially you know, I remember getting to the end of your shooting weeks and we'd be starting our call times would be like four o'clock in the afternoons because everything had gotten so long in the days and all that. But it was a great show. The crew was awesome. Um. Always had a good time on set and everyone was friendly and welcoming. Were you a fan of the show before you came on the show? Were you aware of it? I was. I'd only watched I hadn't watched the first season when it aired, but then I've gotten into it in the second season, and so when I came down to l A, getting to work on the third season was was quite fun. And what's your favorite Gilmore girl's memory? Um, That Francy bathroom scene was awfully cool. You know, it was a fun experience to be one of only two background in the scene, which meant we got a little bit more special treatment than sometimes background Uh that day have time for right, and so we got to feel more like we were part of the show in the episode in that way, and that was a lot of fun. Cool. Yeah, it almost felt like you were uh you know, and you were an integral part of that scene. Uh instead of really background, it was more featured almost. Maybe what's your favorite Gilmore Girls episode if you have one? Um, I actually really like the I think it's a season finale, the season two where the wedding scenes, the wedding with um Suki and Jackson's wedding and then Christopher is there and then he leaves, and UM, I really enjoyed that whole dynamic. Um I realized, you know, as an adult now looking back, that whole relationship is not the most healthy, But um, as twenty something watching it, I enjoyed the Laura like Christopher dynamic. Interesting. All right, now we're gonna play a little rapid fire. You know what rapid fire is. I'm gonna fire questions that you gotta fire answers back to me ready, here we go. How many cups of coffee to have in a day? Are you good for you? Are you Team Logan, Team Jess or Team Dean? Who's your Who's your favorite Gilmore Girl's character? Ry? What would you order it? Luke Steiner French Price? Would you rather go to on a road trip with Taylor or Michelle? Michelle? Finish the lyric and where you lead, I will follow dot dot dot. Oh my goodness, but I can't anywhere that you tell me to Jackson Vegetables or Suki Bakes Goods. Would you rather listen to Drella's Harper, the Troubadours cover songs, Children, Prepper Stars, Hollow High, Oh, Children preps all the way. It was a pleasure talking to you. Thank you for your contribution to the show. You were wonderful in that scene. It's one of my favorite scenes and everything I've seen so far, and I haven't seen the rest of it, but we're in the beginning of season three, but that that seemed to me was just fantastic. Um, thanks for coming on, stay safe, keep up the good work. Thanks for having me on. It was a pleasure. I appreciate it. Having good time. Take care all right, jan how you doing good? Good good? Were you calling in from um from my work and Pennsylvania? Oh? That that's that's part of the School Kill Expressway or the end of it. Yeah, I know it. I know it well or the short the Short Kill Expressway they used to call it. Um, So let's dive right in. How did you get a roll the background actor on the show? So I was actually Suky's stand in for season three, Oh my goodness. And it just happened to be one episode where they were short on extras or background actors, and so they asked myself and the the girl who played moral stand into just you know, fill in, So we kind of did double duty that episode. Okay, what what episode and scene were you in? Or it was in season three? Um, the episode She's an episode called mac Keg and it was kind of a walk and talk through town and lawrelnes Sukie, We're going to get pizza at the pizza joint. So I was just kind of sitting in the background for that and Lora life Standard was standing in line to get pizza. Very low key, right right, So what was your experience like on the show? It was great, Um, Like I said, like I had moved up to California and a couple of months after their central casting had called a nast if I had ever done any stand in work, and I said I didn't know what that meant. So they called back and they said that, you know, they wanted me to come out and they had had trouble keeping somebody I guess for a stand in for Melissa for whatever reason. So I started working on the show probably one or two days a week, and she wasn't in a lot of episodes or you know, it would just depend on who was being featured. So um. It was just such a surreal experience too. The you know, I was a big fan of the show before doing it, and it's just crazy now how big the show has become in in retrospect, because I remember at the time I would tell people what I was working on and they wouldn't really be that familiar with it. But now everybody knows the show, and everybody seems to be a huge fan and such a resurgence. So it was it like working with Melissa McCarthy was she is graceful and kind to you, as she was everybody else. I'm sure she was. She was absolutely the sweetest person that, Um, you can imagine as I'm sure you know. I mean I wasn't always there on set with her because I was there when she was not, but a few times that we did encounter one another. I mean, she was just always so kind. Um. She was always complimenting me on my hair because she was trying to achieve a similar color, I think. And I remember she hadn't I did not go, but she had invited me to the rap party at the end of season three, and she had invited me to come see her perform. It's a local common d center and Um, she just was so nice. Yeah, she's sort of you you really miss something not seeing her perform. She's extraordinary the character she created. She writes all that stuff and then she performs it. It's like groundlings. Yeah. And we went one night, all of us went one night I think in season one, and just we were floored. Really, oh, we were floored. We were laughing so hard. Our stomachs hurt, our sides hurt, everything hurt. Um. She's she's gloriously talented person. Um. So, what's your favorite Gilmore Girls episode? Definitely I'm kind of a fan of the first couple. Of seasons, I guess just because those were the ones I had started out watching, and um, you know, I always was a fan of you know, your interactions with Laurel. I I mean, I love that type of dynamic. And you know, of course the mother daughter relationship was you know, just so I mean, I just it wasn't so much of one episode that got me. It was just the way the script was written, just like it was so clever, it was so funny, you know, just you know, it's just the way that they would tie in old movies, old Broadway shows, I mean, any type of kind of throwback and it was just so well put together, so funny in such a highbrow kind of way, almost in a lot of ways. But I just but very relatable at the same time. I mean, it wasn't it wasn't condescending. So that's that's kind of a trip, all right. So now we're at the point where we're going to play a game with you called rapid fire. I'm gonna fire questions that you're gonna give me answers real quick. Ready, How many comes to coffee to having a day? Are you team Logan, team Jeser, team Dean? What is your favorite Gilmore girl's character. What would you order at Luke's Diner coffee? Would rather go on a road trip with Taylor or Machete l Taylor? Really, that's the first nobody's ever picked Taylor? Why Taylor? I don't know, he's funny. It would it wouldn't be boring, right right? No? I agree. Finish the lyric and where you lead, I will follow dot dot dot. Oh you got me, d don't don't bump anywhere that you tell me too? Yes, Jackson's Vegetables or Suki's baked goods. I think we know the answer to that. Thank you very much. Would you rather listen to Dreller's Harp or the Troupadoura's cover songs? Children, Prepper Stars Hollow High that they so, Jane, You've won some wonderful prizes. Uh. Danielle will tell you as your parting gifts, And thank you so much for joining us. It was a blast. Say hello to everybody over there in Kancho Hawking. I know that area well. I was born in Philadelphia, raised in South Jersey. My father lived out and later in his life he lived out in Valley Forward, so I know all about that. That area. So anyway, all the best to you, thanks for coming on. Stay safe. Okay, Hi Mary, Thank Scott here, how are you? Thanks for coming on? Good Thank you for having me. I'm in Los Angeles, all right. I just got on the door from a cross country road trip. Oh my goodness. Those are so much fun. I used to do those all the time. Um, so let's just dive right in. How did you get the role of being a background actor on the show. So I did a lot of gigs dancing with Rockco Barns word and uh so he was working on the show and he recommended me to Kenny Ortega. Kenny Ortega connection, got you. Yeah, So Lenny requested that I'd come in an audition and uh I auditioned. He was throwing me around an aerials and the audition, which was very unexpected and a lot of fun. Put Kenny in the audition. That was a lot of fun. Yeah, And then, um, what episode was that? What scene was you in? Well? I was in two episodes, but that one the first episode that it was on was um they shoot Gilmore girls don't think Oh okay, oh yeah, which one were you? Which one? Because we just we we just did that we just reviewed that. I was the sailor girl. So you were one of the ones that we're doing fancy dance moves and going up in the air and spinning around. Yeah, there were there were a couple of actually went in the air, but I was one of the future dancers. Yeah. Okay, alright, so tell me what the experience was like. Was it a long day, a long couple of days? What was it like? It was several days. Actually, Kenny had asked me to be the last couple battling it out, um, but my partner couldn't stay. So that was kind of crushing to me because I wanted to stay for the whole thing. But um, it was so much fun. Um. I remember on set it was the first day and we're dancers kind of out there earlier early, showing each other moves and stuff, and pass and crew started coming in. I was like, okay, guys, we gotta stop. We gotta be quiet. We can't be distracting. And my friends were like uh and then I'm like, no, we have to be professional. Penny walks in and he runs over to us and he was like, what's that movie? Was? Just? Did you show me? And that kind of set the tone for the rest of the time. And yeah, he had lunch with us. Every day. We had like a picnic blanket wow, and he would come over and have lunch with us. I remember one day he was telling us about working with Michael Jackson, and he called Michael Jackson and started talking to him on speaker and then he goes, hold on a second, I gotta do something, talk to my assistant, and he gave one of the dancers the phone is still in speaker. So we're like all sitting around, uh talking to Michael, and he was talking to Mike. Got a chance to talk to Michael Jackson. There are you? Was Kenny trying to impress you. What's going on with that? What a what a story? And then he quit. It's all to be on the next week another another show. We were like future dancers for the Disco Ball, all of our little picnic group, and he made this big speech about us at the Disco Ball to like I was went in Flyer Casey and the Sunstipe. I was like every big band from the seventies. The meeting was like, these dancers are awesome, and you've got to be cool to them because they're really cool and have a great it's so great. Yeah, that is so great. My you know, my wife is a a dancer. She she grew up at ballerina and she does now she does hip hop and she does um what do they call it, high heels, high heels, sexy things whatever. She just she just went Yeah, she just came from a class with it. She showed me the video. These dancers are so good. She's so good. Um, and we're talking about what a life that is and what a struggle it is to make ends meet if that's your career, you know, that's so few people go on and really you know get you know, very few, you know a lot get into choreography and and uh directing and all that stuff. But it's a tough road to hope. But you really love it. Dancers really have to do what they really love. It is that true? Yeah, Yeah, I can see how addicted she is to it. I mean, she just loves that she has to have it. I mean her spirit is just so wars when she's dancing. It's just you're most alive, yes, Yeah, when people are at their best. You see the best in people when they're dancing, Right, it's going to connect so intimately with people, Like my specialty is partner dancing, so I love that connection between people. Right, Oh that's fantas Anyway, what do you have a favorite Gilmore episode? Um? It was probably that one I would. I got kind of a stupid question. I'm so sorry. I am larger presenting Andrethal and the most people, so I apologized that. I was. Another cool thing that happened on that set was Kenny was talking about dirty dancing and he grabbed me and he did a reenactment of um, Johnny and Baby. We had me doing Baby and he was doing Johnny on set and they were did it? Remember them filming it? I remember him and telling me like afterwards, like get a copy of the editors cut, I'm gonna put this on there, or director's cut. But I don't. I never saw that, so I don't know if that's floating out there somewhere or not. You gotta get that, you gotta go. You gotta get in touch with Kenny and get that. If you know how, let me know, just you know, contact, Oh gosh, I guess any if you're listening, you can get to Kenny. You can get the Kenny somehow, he's that easither out here in New York, right you would imagine? Or Miami? I don't, I don't know. Um oh that's great, that's just great anyway.
