He Said, He Said Q&A

Our kids are always around, and we have not had any good luck keeping that spark making a lone time of priority. Oh listen, Sarah, that is a very honest and true problem for probably every single couple. I'm very fortunate because my mom lives close and my mom is always there when we need her. So if we try to plan a date night, I know I have somebody that can step in and we try to have that

time to ourselves to go connect, have dinner talk. You can have that romantic time, you know, after the fact, But otherwise, listen, if you can plan a short get away over the weekend, a single night get away, if you have somebody that can stay with the kids. I don't know how old your kids are. That's always an option.

That's good. Otherwise, if you don't really have someone that can stay or watch the kids, you're just gonna have to put the kids to bed and maybe take some, you know, some coffee so you can get your energy up, and maybe just do a candle at dinner, you know, you and your partner and sit and have dinner together after everybody's gone to bed. It might be later than usual, but that's you know, something you could do, or have

a late night drink and just talk that way. It is hard, but I'm telling you it is a priority. You have to navigate it and figure it out within both your schedules because to me, it's the key, It's the key to everything. So I wish you luck with that. I hope you do it the best of your ability. Steven, do you listen to motivational speakers and who would you recommend? I listened to to try to keep my mental health. Listen.

I just had a podcast with a great motivational speaker and Maury Signal Signal with Mariy and Melissa's a podcast that she has Maury Fontine's and uh, I think it's extremely valuable. I mean, there are a lot of great We have a friend Chris Lee, We've had on the podcast School of Greatness is a good podcast. These are things you can listen to to try to find that pick me up when you're down there. There's so many resources out there or even a good book that you

can read. I used to be all about self help books and I would read them constantly. But that's the biggest, probably the biggest thing that helped me get through tough times. But that those would be my recommendations. I hope you you do find a source because I think it's important to get, you know, for a pick me up. All right, Catherine Guzman, how do you manage to juggle your career, Palm Republic, personal life? Who great questions? That is? Uh, Listen, I get yelled at a lot by my kids and

my wife. I'm not perfect because I'm constantly on my phone and I'm trying to manage all of these things. But it's all balanced, right. I'm not always working, like right now, I'm off, I'm not filming, and if another job comes up, I'll have to, you know, address it. But at the moment I am. I am free, so that clears me of that. But I dump a lot

of time into pond republic. I try to do most of it during the day while the kids are in school, and then I dedicate the rest of the time to the kids and my wife and I and I do my best to prioritize my family always comes first, even though I might be doing three things at once. I need to remind myself. I need to check myself and understand that the phone and things can wait. And I need to be with my kids and be present and

being present to me as everything. So that I hope that answers that celebrity I want to meet, Oh wow, I don't know. I don't know if I have a single celebrity that I really care if I meet one way or another. I do love if it's Hollywood related. I love just talking to people about Hollywood stories, even if they're just producers or anybody else. I find it fascinating talking about different actors, their personalities, what it's like to work with them. I'm a big fan of athletes.

I love, you know. I'd love to meet Rapha and the doll Or, Roger Federer, that'd be really cool, I'd have to say, and why simply because I love tennis. I love their mental approach to the game. I would love to know what it was like for them, you know, throughout their career, the ups and downs. Yeah, that would be it. How do you and producers come up with the topics? Well, I gotta say a lot of it.

We juggle. It's almost fit to fifty. You know, a lot of times Roz and I will totally riff on stuff that's present in our lives and things that we're facing on a daily basis that come just come up and we'll talk about it openly. And then other times our producers come up with great topics and questions or guests and they present it to us and we pick the ones that we think really eight to us and we can jump in and give a good perspective on

Lynn Presley, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I just recently recovered from in the intensity of seven oh eight. Yes, that episode was wild. Questions to do with the nuts and bolts of shooting that episode, So this was a big, a big episode. Let me start by saying this, This La Fire episode was shot so far in advance from our actual LA fires, which is crazy to think that this could even become a reality, and it was awful to see how it played out in real life after the

fact and listen ABC and the Rookie. We tried to be very sensitive to that because this had I mean, who knew that something like that could happen. But I will say that tent scene that you're talking about, or we used to call it the burrito scene because it was like we were in this foil wrapped breakfast burrito. When we first shot the wide, we had an actual fire proof, you know, blanket type situation, and it was small. We had to find a way to cram into it

and make it look somewhat realistic. They had to cut around it because we had you know, it wasn't very big. It's meant for probably one person. So we squeezed in, we pulled it around us, they shut the wide. We came out of it. A lot of great cuts and angles to make that look smooth. But what I was shocked is we were saying, on the day, how can we even shoot this? For all the dialogue we have to do in it, how are they going to create this?

And when we got to work that day. It literally looked like they built a space ship out of aluminum foil. It was this big sort of pod thing that it was open on one side, closed on the other. We had all these lights around it that would look like fire. We were on this platform that we had to take steps to get up on, with dirt on it and all that to make it look like it was the ground. And as we would shoot it, the cameras would be

on the one side that was open. We would do our coverage and they would move it the big rig that it was on to make it feel like the wind from the fires were causing all that rustling and lights would flicker and there was like a bun you know, there's a bunch of people around the lights and in the platform trying to create all that simulation right, the effect of the fires, and then the camera guys were

just really in tight. It was very intimate and funny in a way because the camera guys were right there in that little burrito with us as we would do the scene, and then we'd flip it and we'd do the scene facing the other way, and we thought this was going to look absurd. I don't know how Mike goy pulled this off our director, but he cut together a phenomenal scene, the way that the angles and the

idea of making that whole scene flow. So kudos to him and the crew because it was it was awesome, and we just did our acting, you know, accordingly, and thankfully the scene looked really good because I was concerned about it. How did the cast and crew react to when the alle fires broke out? Listen, we were all in shock, devastated. We had crew members that lost everything. It was awful. It was awful. I was glad I was able to do a fundraiser and be a part

of that telethon to raise money. We shut down production for a long period of time. I remember going into work right like the day after it had started, and the air quality was so bad that you could see the fires from my house, the Altadena fires, and we were in work and we started shooting the actually like one of the biggest scenes of our season finale, and we started rehearsing and everything, and then we just had to We were just told, hey, go home, everybody's going home.

We're canceling production. The air quality is awful. People's homes are in serious danger. People need to go get their stuff, and it was it was eye opening. It was really really sad and wild. So I'm glad we're on the

other end of it. I know a lot of people are still figuring it out, but it's uh, it's been a big recovery process in Los Angeles, something I've never I've never seen, to be honest, Rebecca dan Or, if the Riders of the Rookie approached you and Sea and Sebbi and Dil being an episode or episodes, would you what would you do? Would you give it serious consideration or shout it down immediately? No listen? If if they asked, I mean mckea's daughter, funny enough, has been in an episode.

If they had asked, or maybe even a couple, if they had asked my kids to be in a scene for something, I'm sure my kids would be into it. My daughter would for sure. My son, I don't know if he would care or not. He might be really uh freaked out by it, but he does like coming to set and seeing things, so he might be okay. He might be okay. I know they were. They did a little background work in a in a scene for Roslind's movie, which was fun. But I would definitely entertain

something like that. Why not, It would be it'd be cool to do something together with them, let's say. Update from a fourteen year old who asked about dating when her parents had no dating role. Oh I remember this question. This is so interesting. Okay, guys, it's Kate with that question about the boy and no dating role. Thanks for the advice. Even thought I had, I have a completely

went off tracks. So okay, a lot has happened. But long story short, we don't talk anymore because I got so confused with my feelings and realized if I'm having second thoughts, then that means I don't really like him. He also did some questionable things that made me feel different about him. I feel terrible, but I told him we shouldn't talk until I get my head straight. So we aren't talking anymore. Okay. So it really came down to having nothing to do with the parents for this

particular situation. Kate, I'm glad that you were able to see through any of the nonsense that he might have been presenting or he may have been presenting, because that would have been a mess, to be honest, had you gotten to your parents then tried to focus on dating somebody who was really not being the best version of themselves, and now you're in a bad situation, your strained relationship with your parents, and now it's a bad situation with

the guy. So I'm glad you were able to put your thinking hat on and really focus on who the person is and if it was worth it. So it's great to hear that, to be honest, But I do think this opens up a chance for you to maybe continue that dial with your parents and see if you can make any kind of headway and tell them there's no no particular person you know in the picture, but you would love to have an open dialogue about what

that looks like down the road. Even more so, you know, I don't want to get you into a fight with your parents, but I think it's a worthy conversation at least to try to be able to communicate. So I hope that that helps a little bit, and I appreciate you coming back and sharing all of your thoughts with me, so thank you. All Right, another fan question here, a listener question. Do you or any other actors on the show refer back to past scripts or storylines then bring

inconsistencies up with the writers. If so, how does that usually work out? Look at we don't. We don't do that. I don't think we go back into past storylines. I mean sometimes it pops into our head when we're on set, like wait, I don't remember this, tracking this would I don't think my character would have said this or this wouldn't come up. And we have those conversations, and often, to the credit of the writers, they have explanation for it. They let us know, this is the journey, this is

the path where we're going. Continuity is a big thing. You know, we try. I will say, you know, Melissa's very hung up on continuity a lot I've noticed on set, and I do as well. But I often rely on the writers and producers to navigate that more. I don't put that as my focus a lot, but I do. You know, we do catch certain things that we bring

up and often get a solid explanation for it. But I do know that a fan brought up if they recall a storyline an outcome that they noticed an inconsistency with a storyline that Tim mentions a niece to Angela when they're planning her wedding. However, Tim only mentions one sibling Jenny and has two who has two boys, which we now featured on the show. They've never mentioned the niece again. I'll be honest, I don't even remember that. I don't remember that episode. I don't remember saying that.

But if we did, definitely an inconsistency and something that didn't work, I would love to god, I would love to see that clip. That would be fascinating to find out when it happened and how to correct it somehow. But thank you for catching it. Yeah, we don't. I feel like Tim would have noticed that or caught that, but maybe that was before we Maybe that was before they even decided if Jenny, you know, Jenny had two kids one kid, boy, girl or anything. So that's ironic

how that worked out. But again, not something that we do so many episodes and there's so many moments and scenes that I can't keep track of it all to really catch something like that or an inconsistency. But that's a good one and we need to be on top of it. It's like, you know, listen, things happen all the time. You remember that big the Starbucks cup on Game of Thrones, which was wild that that somehow made it into a cut.

No one ever saw that on set, and we've had that happened before, where things have been you know, there's been a cup, there's been a phone, there's been whatever in a scene that usually we catch it and we have to do a take again. I did a whole scene once totally forgot I had a water bottle in my back pocket. Long night shoot, everybody's exhausted. We always want to get out of there. All Tim and Lucy had to do was run upstairs in this mansion and I had a damn water bottle from Crafty in my

back pocket, totally forgot about it. Shot the whole scene and realized couldn't use any of it because you saw this damn water bottle poking out of my butt. So yeah, listen, these mistakes happened all the time, but hopefully you catch them and that's the most important part. And there's tons of bloopers, you know, and things like that that happen on different shows and movies. But great question. Thanks for

bringing that up. All right, everybody, That wraps up another episode of he said, He said, thank you for listening again, and remember, if you have something you want to talk about, ask us send it to our DMS at, he said Ado or feel free just to email us at Ericanroz at iHeartRadio dot com.
