0:08

Patterson, Welcome back, man, How are you?

0:10

How are you doing, buddy? Thanks for having me. Oh

0:13

no, it's nice to talk to you. I love the title

0:15

I Am all In. Congrats

0:18

on the new podcast. Um, you're

0:20

so you're going back essentially and watching

0:22

Gilmore Girls for the first time. Why

0:24

watch now if you've never had before? Because

0:27

I never really had the time, you know, I

0:29

mean I was doing this, you know how it is. I'm doing the

0:31

show fourteen hours today. I don't want

0:33

to go home and watch the show. I don't have the time pause,

0:36

I really have the interest. I don't like to watch myself.

0:38

I don't know if you're like that, do a movie, you don't want to watch

0:40

yourself. I get nauseous. I

0:42

I really, you know. I saw one

0:45

of the movies for a year in the life

0:47

because they had the premiere. So I saw Winter. So

0:49

it's a big premiere. I wanted to get up and leave. My

0:51

wife just grabbed my arms that sit, sit,

0:54

stay. It'll look bad if you leave. So

0:56

I'm like, okay, So, but I actually

0:58

enjoyed it. I thought it was really good. Uh

1:00

that's the thing that kind of inspired me, you

1:03

know, a couple of years later to give the

1:05

fans some content because you

1:08

know, they're not getting any content. So it's

1:10

like, you know, it's my little my love letter

1:12

to him. It's like, hey, we're around, let's

1:15

let's keep giving you,

1:17

you know, the love and the support that you're

1:19

giving to us all the time. So you know, you

1:22

got to give him something because they're they're they're waiting,

1:24

they're waiting for more episodes, and I'm gonna give

1:27

him fifty episodes in the first year. So that

1:29

makes him happy. How's it going so far?

1:31

Do you do you feel it? Do you feel it holds up? Yeah?

1:34

I do, because you know, Yannick Truesdale

1:37

was the first guest. He played Michelle. We

1:39

had a great time. He's a fantastic

1:42

interview and all of these people are

1:44

fantastic rock

1:46

contours. If you will rock on tours,

1:49

Miss pronouncis because I'm an idiot, but um,

1:52

you know they Yannick is just so personable

1:54

and funny and smart. You

1:56

know, he's he's he's a cut up man. We chopped

1:58

it up and we have a great first

2:01

episode is really funny. He's a funny

2:03

guy. So, uh, Sally Struthers

2:05

is gonna be all next week and she's,

2:07

you know, maybe the funniest human being on

2:10

planet Earth. Stories you've ever heard,

2:12

and you know, we're lining up a whole and you

2:14

know how it is, you got to line up these guests every

2:16

week, and it's like now we're

2:18

just getting a flood of offers coming and people want to

2:20

be on the show, and it's it's like, it's

2:23

just it's just great. It's an avalanche. It's fantastic.

2:25

When you're looking back, how

2:27

do you what do you think of your acting? Has it

2:30

improved? Is it the same? You're like, damn, I'm good.

2:32

What are your thoughts? Um?

2:36

Yeah? And

2:38

in the pilot I thought, you know,

2:42

I thought the other people were great. I thought

2:44

the other people were like spectacular. Lord

2:46

was spectacular, Alexis was spectacular.

2:49

Uh. But and in the

2:51

in winter Iceland, you know, I got better.

2:54

I got better. I thought, you know, I could. I didn't

2:56

get nauseous or sick when I watched myself

2:59

and thought, okay, you know that that's a good that's

3:01

a good start. Do you remember the audition process

3:03

and did you have to read with Lauren eventually at the end,

3:05

No, no, no, I it was just a guest

3:08

star role in the pilot that turned into a series.

3:12

Yeah. So it was an easy audition. It was one

3:14

audition. I didn't have to go through network

3:16

or or or studio auditions

3:18

and all that stuff through hoops to get a serious

3:21

regular and you know how it goes. So

3:23

yeah, I just went in and met Amy, and I met

3:25

the director, and I met Gavin Polone and

3:27

the producer. Um,

3:30

you know, I had three auditions that there. I was actually

3:32

late to go meet Carmen Electra for

3:34

a film where she was playing a fembot and I was gonna

3:36

be a love interest. Now how do you how do your love interest

3:39

to a fembot? I don't know. I'm

3:41

sure that's your best acting right there. You

3:44

know, you really gotta deliver that situation.

3:47

But you know, it's just like another audition.

3:50

I figured, Okay, I'm gonna nail it. I'm not gonna

3:52

get it, you know, because it's too

3:54

good a script. They're gonna go with movie guys.

3:56

They started going with movie guys at that time. You

3:58

know, uh, two thousands really want

4:01

to start ramping up. And you saw, like, you

4:03

know, the Benjamin Brats crossing over

4:05

that, and you're like, how am I going to compete with

4:07

that? So, um, I just never

4:09

saw I had a shot. I got it. So it was just one of those

4:11

freaks. That's awesome, man, Well, good for you.

4:14

It's fun to go back, and I know the fans You're right, they really

4:16

4:18

4:36

Hollywood story. Yeah
