00:01:49   writing with a dialogue that starts off [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/109">TS</a>]

00:01:55   guy like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/115">TS</a>]

00:01:56   we have to start using a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/116">TS</a>]

00:01:57   statistics right away Michael [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/117">TS</a>]

00:01:58   eighty-seven percent of podcasts that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/118">TS</a>]

00:02:00   try to use with the dialogue find [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/120">TS</a>]

00:02:02   seventy percent of the time they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/122">TS</a>]

00:02:03   unsuccessful of those efforts i'm really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/123">TS</a>]

00:02:05   hoping that that the john bolton sitting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/125">TS</a>]

00:02:08   back there will hold up a sign saying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/128">TS</a>]

00:02:09   America is a terrible country and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/129">TS</a>]

00:02:11   yeah okay thanks that's good that's good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/131">TS</a>]

00:02:13   and I'm going on to the sharpie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/133">TS</a>]

00:02:15   uh yeah so as we moved you were talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/135">TS</a>]

00:02:17   about Aaron Sorkin of course who is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/137">TS</a>]

00:02:18   scribe behind many a TV show in movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/138">TS</a>]

00:02:21   and play is play right as well as early [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/141">TS</a>]

00:02:24   career started out I think I think he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/144">TS</a>]

00:02:27   started out in theatres and then moved [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/147">TS</a>]

00:02:29   to keep the film is earliest films [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/149">TS</a>]

00:02:31   include malice and alec baldwin in favor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/151">TS</a>]

00:02:34   call about a doctor that's what he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/154">TS</a>]

00:02:36   really gone back to that one kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/156">TS</a>]

00:02:38   moved on but then we have a few good men [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/158">TS</a>]

00:02:40   which of course i think was his first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/160">TS</a>]

00:02:41   really big hit started to play right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/161">TS</a>]

00:02:44   with indeed an American president which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/164">TS</a>]

00:02:48   is the west wing season 0 i like to call [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/168">TS</a>]

00:02:51   it right it's creepy to watch the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/171">TS</a>]

00:02:53   American president because you're why is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/173">TS</a>]

00:02:54   the president helping up you lazy the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/174">TS</a>]

00:02:56   chief of staff and why is the president [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/176">TS</a>]

00:02:57   Leo right this is weird and you know you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/177">TS</a>]

00:03:01   got to Nancy McNally's isn't doing her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/181">TS</a>]

00:03:03   job [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/183">TS</a>]

00:03:04   it's crazy Josh Malina doesn't have that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/184">TS</a>]

00:03:06   many lines it's really strange that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/186">TS</a>]

00:03:08   get and then he comes back in the shows [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/188">TS</a>]

00:03:09   a different person later and yeah it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/189">TS</a>]

00:03:11   very confusing mom got it like so the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/191">TS</a>]

00:03:14   best raise ever click an assistant and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/194">TS</a>]

00:03:17   guess what now you're gonna be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/197">TS</a>]

00:03:18   president so what what were your entries [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/198">TS</a>]

00:03:23   into circuit like what was the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/203">TS</a>]

00:03:24   thing that you sell by him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/204">TS</a>]

00:03:26   well I didn't realize he was aaron [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/206">TS</a>]

00:03:28   sorkin when I was so if you admit the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/208">TS</a>]

00:03:30   fact that he really until last week that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/210">TS</a>]

00:03:32   oh yeah how is aaron sorkin you couldn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/212">TS</a>]

00:03:33   handle the truth is where exactly I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/213">TS</a>]

00:03:35   always thought it was an American [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/215">TS</a>]

00:03:36   president was my entry in there and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/216">TS</a>]

00:03:38   circle but i guess it was a few good men [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/218">TS</a>]

00:03:39   damn morning tell me what are your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/219">TS</a>]

00:03:42   thoughts on you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/222">TS</a>]

00:03:43   this is a setup because Lex knows i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/223">TS</a>]

00:03:46   haven't seen you good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/226">TS</a>]

00:03:51   only two things that I haven't seen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/231">TS</a>]

00:03:53   Byron circuit analysis have not seen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/233">TS</a>]

00:03:55   malice excuse boom haven't seen anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/235">TS</a>]

00:03:57   past what was that you're in 1995 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/237">TS</a>]

00:03:58   haven't seen anything earlier than 1995 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/238">TS</a>]

00:04:00   business has been waiting for like two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/240">TS</a>]

00:04:02   years to have a panel about some reason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/242">TS</a>]

00:04:04   you see the damn war is not you know i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/244">TS</a>]

00:04:06   might wish i had watched it last night [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/246">TS</a>]

00:04:08   just to set you up to attend my first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/248">TS</a>]

00:04:11   aaron sorkin movie was the American [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/251">TS</a>]

00:04:13   president I saw a few good many years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/253">TS</a>]

00:04:14   later as is my habit but I mean I love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/254">TS</a>]

00:04:18   the American president and interestingly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/258">TS</a>]

00:04:20   enough my wife loves the American [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/260">TS</a>]

00:04:23   president to that's one of our three or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/263">TS</a>]

00:04:25   four go to movies we can't think of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/265">TS</a>]

00:04:27   anything else to watch we'll just watch [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/267">TS</a>]

00:04:28   that again but she never got into the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/268">TS</a>]

00:04:30   West Wing where I feel like they I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/270">TS</a>]

00:04:32   clearly one is much romance comedy or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/272">TS</a>]

00:04:34   the other but I feel like they're still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/274">TS</a>]

00:04:36   very similar it's unusual to me to like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/276">TS</a>]

00:04:38   one and not the other without what you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/278">TS</a>]

00:04:40   get Jeff also i would say probably a few [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/280">TS</a>]

00:04:46   good man but again also and not knowing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/286">TS</a>]

00:04:48   that it was aaron sorkin that I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/288">TS</a>]

00:04:50   for me that getting into the the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/290">TS</a>]

00:04:53   knowledge that there was an aaron sorkin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/293">TS</a>]

00:04:55   would be the late and beloved sports [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/295">TS</a>]

00:04:57   night [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/297">TS</a>]

00:04:58   yes when was the best series one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/298">TS</a>]

00:05:00   best areas in and there one that really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/300">TS</a>]

00:05:03   had like a strange start because i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/303">TS</a>]

00:05:05   that was like the first dramedy think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/305">TS</a>]

00:05:08   that's when they it was one of the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/308">TS</a>]

00:05:10   way that term right it had it had it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/310">TS</a>]

00:05:13   set up as a 30-minute sitcom very much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/313">TS</a>]

00:05:16   like you know formulaic but it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/316">TS</a>]

00:05:19   strange because they did they had this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/319">TS</a>]

00:05:21   whole issue with the laugh track where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/321">TS</a>]

00:05:22   the first half of the first season has a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/322">TS</a>]

00:05:25   lap track it gets quieter get why you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/325">TS</a>]

00:05:27   in choir and it's not because the show [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/327">TS</a>]

00:05:28   gets less and less funny the show [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/328">TS</a>]

00:05:30   actually gets funnier but it's strange [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/330">TS</a>]

00:05:32   because you get a I feel like that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/332">TS</a>]

00:05:34   part of the reason behind why didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/334">TS</a>]

00:05:35   catch on as much because it was on it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/335">TS</a>]

00:05:38   was unconventional at that point and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/338">TS</a>]

00:05:40   interestingly with that laugh track it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/340">TS</a>]

00:05:41   doesn't just get quieter it gets more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/341">TS</a>]

00:05:43   and more infrequently and spars and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/343">TS</a>]

00:05:45   it's a startling when you hear it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/345">TS</a>]

00:05:47   with the initially released the DVD [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/347">TS</a>]

00:05:48   series they have the laugh track their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/348">TS</a>]

00:05:51   fans complaining they never wanted that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/351">TS</a>]

00:05:52   left right there the first place if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/352">TS</a>]

00:05:53   buy the DVD set now you'll get it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/353">TS</a>]

00:05:55   laugh track if that's ok we have the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/355">TS</a>]

00:05:57   horrible one with the laugh track yeah i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/357">TS</a>]

00:05:59   think that one but I went upgrade yeah I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/359">TS</a>]

00:06:01   don't know the laugh track to me always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/361">TS</a>]

00:06:03   remind me all the left some really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/363">TS</a>]

00:06:05   nervous and it sounds like they've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/365">TS</a>]

00:06:18   definite feeling of somebody not the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/378">TS</a>]

00:06:20   writers not but not the directors like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/380">TS</a>]

00:06:22   somebody in a board room somewhere was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/382">TS</a>]

00:06:24   like well this is this is a comedy so we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/384">TS</a>]

00:06:26   need to impose this laugh track because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/386">TS</a>]

00:06:28   i don't think any of the the creator's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/388">TS</a>]

00:06:30   wanted it that was like like like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/390">TS</a>]

00:06:32   something from up on my hands anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/392">TS</a>]

00:06:34   typical studio decisions have white [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/394">TS</a>]

00:06:36   community rather than me but I said how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/396">TS</a>]

00:06:39   many 30-minute shows at that point did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/399">TS</a>]

00:06:42   not have a laugh track i mean you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/402">TS</a>]

00:06:44   talking about primes sitcom time but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/404">TS</a>]

00:06:47   there's something about it that when you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/407">TS</a>]

00:06:48   watch friends at that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/408">TS</a>]

00:06:50   I more or Seinfeld and you heard the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/410">TS</a>]

00:06:52   last track it just you didn't really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/412">TS</a>]

00:06:54   notice it was there but when you watch [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/414">TS</a>]

00:06:56   sports night for some reason it is glare [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/416">TS</a>]

00:06:58   it's very grading right it was also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/418">TS</a>]

00:06:59   right you're like I don't know if it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/419">TS</a>]

00:07:01   the first but it was you know a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/421">TS</a>]

00:07:02   early single-camera comedy single-camera [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/422">TS</a>]

00:07:04   comedy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/424">TS</a>]

00:07:05   yeah it was you know it felt very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/425">TS</a>]

00:07:07   different from other television [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/427">TS</a>]

00:07:09   alright we're going now become kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/429">TS</a>]

00:07:10   like the standard in a lot of cases [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/430">TS</a>]

00:07:13   we've got more and more shows that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/433">TS</a>]

00:07:14   that single-camera comedy that doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/434">TS</a>]

00:07:16   have a studio audience doesn't have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/436">TS</a>]

00:07:17   laugh track the late great limited 30 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/437">TS</a>]

00:07:19   rock which just ended and number yet so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/439">TS</a>]

00:07:23   I I think he kind of pioneered that but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/443">TS</a>]

00:07:25   in some ways would be television [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/445">TS</a>]

00:07:27   audience wasn't quite ready for that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/447">TS</a>]

00:07:28   that level of something that was not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/448">TS</a>]

00:07:30   just about punchline punchline punchline [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/450">TS</a>]

00:07:32   ypc didn't really know how to market it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/452">TS</a>]

00:07:35   i mean they were putting it very much i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/455">TS</a>]

00:07:36   remember seeing the original marketing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/456">TS</a>]

00:07:38   with my knees [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/458">TS</a>]

00:07:40   it's 99 yeah I'm 92 that they also it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/460">TS</a>]

00:07:44   in the middle there because there's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/464">TS</a>]

00:07:45   episode in the second season with a deal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/465">TS</a>]

00:07:47   with y2k that's right we got up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/467">TS</a>]

00:07:49   yes bright yellow you know bright yellow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/469">TS</a>]

00:07:52   papers and everybody's happy and jumping [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/472">TS</a>]

00:07:55   up in the air they fell prey to the fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/475">TS</a>]

00:07:57   that was actually the marketing for all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/477">TS</a>]

00:07:58   of ABC's programs that year that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/478">TS</a>]

00:08:01   there stick and it didn't want were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/481">TS</a>]

00:08:04   yellow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/484">TS</a>]

00:08:05   that you know the knock that I here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/485">TS</a>]

00:08:07   against Aaron Sorkin in general for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/487">TS</a>]

00:08:09   people who for whatever reason don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/489">TS</a>]

00:08:11   like sports night as a good example bad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/491">TS</a>]

00:08:13   people you're right that the challenge [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/493">TS</a>]

00:08:15   that happens there i think is that on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/495">TS</a>]

00:08:17   sports night as well on the west wing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/497">TS</a>]

00:08:19   and every other TV show that he's done [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/499">TS</a>]

00:08:20   these are characters who take their jobs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/500">TS</a>]

00:08:22   very seriously and on sports let you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/502">TS</a>]

00:08:24   know that the concedes that they're your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/504">TS</a>]

00:08:26   seat watching backstage the makings of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/506">TS</a>]

00:08:28   SportsCenter style show which too many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/508">TS</a>]

00:08:30   of us i think is probably not the most [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/510">TS</a>]

00:08:32   important work one can do / is her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/512">TS</a>]

00:08:34   country but they take it very seriously [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/514">TS</a>]

00:08:37   you know when something goes wrong this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/517">TS</a>]

00:08:39   is it's it's extremely high personally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/519">TS</a>]

00:08:41   taking drama for the the characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/521">TS</a>]

00:08:43   involved on the show and you know on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/523">TS</a>]

00:08:46   west wing when they're so upset and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/526">TS</a>]

00:08:48   unhappy because you know people are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/528">TS</a>]

00:08:50   shooting at each other in encouragement [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/530">TS</a>]

00:08:53   understand that's that there's a reason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/533">TS</a>]

00:08:54   for them to be so upset because you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/534">TS</a>]

00:08:56   there's death involved but when i was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/536">TS</a>]

00:08:57   learning to understand and he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/537">TS</a>]

00:08:58   accidentally said you understand yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/538">TS</a>]

00:09:00   and then and and sports night when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/540">TS</a>]

00:09:03   they're really concerned because maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/543">TS</a>]

00:09:05   the game isn't gonna end in time so they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/545">TS</a>]

00:09:07   have to start their broadcast late [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/547">TS</a>]

00:09:09   the stakes are very high to them and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/549">TS</a>]

00:09:12   less hi to the audience that i really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/552">TS</a>]

00:09:14   like to show I love sports night but the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/554">TS</a>]

00:09:16   people who I've heard complain about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/556">TS</a>]

00:09:17   that show feel like why are they taking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/557">TS</a>]

00:09:19   this so seriously why are they so so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/559">TS</a>]

00:09:21   concerned I think it's a fair and at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/561">TS</a>]

00:09:23   same thing happens on studio 60 and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/563">TS</a>]

00:09:25   someone in the newsroom right that one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/565">TS</a>]

00:09:27   yeah a little closer to exact way I know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/567">TS</a>]

00:09:30   I feel like that is very much true to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/570">TS</a>]

00:09:32   life though because God knows I mean as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/572">TS</a>]

00:09:35   technology journalists we've had plenty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/575">TS</a>]

00:09:37   of times where I has an aaron sorkin a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/577">TS</a>]

00:09:39   show about us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/579">TS</a>]

00:09:40   ah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/580">TS</a>]

00:09:41   will get cancelled after half a season [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/581">TS</a>]

00:09:43   sadly but I mean we have plenty of days [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/583">TS</a>]

00:09:45   when we're running around with our heads [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/585">TS</a>]

00:09:48   cut off being like oh god we've got to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/588">TS</a>]

00:09:49   get this in or else everything will go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/589">TS</a>]

00:09:51   down in flames I think a live load of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/591">TS</a>]

00:09:53   trash people don't yet know about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/593">TS</a>]

00:09:54   new I books but it's it feels like life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/594">TS</a>]

00:09:57   or death at that point and no it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/597">TS</a>]

00:09:59   definitely not have not getting shot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/599">TS</a>]

00:10:01   having been in the room when all of our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/601">TS</a>]

00:10:03   like why blog coverage crashed it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/603">TS</a>]

00:10:05   just like we're sitting area that's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/605">TS</a>]

00:10:07   apple presentation like God so I am it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/607">TS</a>]

00:10:12   is very seriously the people involved [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/612">TS</a>]

00:10:14   with professionals is what they do and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/614">TS</a>]

00:10:16   anybody makes it more convincingly and i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/616">TS</a>]

00:10:17   think i was going to take slight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/617">TS</a>]

00:10:19   exception to your comment about the west [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/619">TS</a>]

00:10:21   wing vs force night because i feel like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/621">TS</a>]

00:10:23   in later seasons which obviously aren't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/623">TS</a>]

00:10:26   directly aaron sorkin reading seasons [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/626">TS</a>]

00:10:28   this is where the law comes in which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/628">TS</a>]

00:10:30   they think they can make up for the fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/630">TS</a>]

00:10:31   that it's you know there are problems by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/631">TS</a>]

00:10:34   making them these huge dramatic problems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/634">TS</a>]

00:10:36   like these india and china on the brink [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/636">TS</a>]

00:10:38   of war but it doesn't work because it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/638">TS</a>]

00:10:40   has no substance behind it there's no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/640">TS</a>]

00:10:42   subtext or anything it's all just the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/642">TS</a>]

00:10:44   over-the-top that's really annoying haha [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/644">TS</a>]

00:10:48   hello but that's expected of me off that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/648">TS</a>]

00:10:53   sorry well I also think that that so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/653">TS</a>]

00:10:56   some of what sports and I did I mean you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/656">TS</a>]

00:10:57   know yet that the the the the words are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/657">TS</a>]

00:11:02   escaping me the topics were sort of you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/662">TS</a>]

00:11:05   know like like small and contained it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/665">TS</a>]

00:11:07   behind the show but they also like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/667">TS</a>]

00:11:10   really tried to push into some other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/670">TS</a>]

00:11:11   things like I remember some storylines [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/671">TS</a>]

00:11:13   about we weren't there like a drug [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/673">TS</a>]

00:11:16   testing scandal or something that they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/676">TS</a>]

00:11:20   had to report on and they had to you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/680">TS</a>]

00:11:22   know like like do we reveal this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/682">TS</a>]

00:11:24   information or not reveal this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/684">TS</a>]

00:11:25   information and you know for for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/685">TS</a>]

00:11:27   something that was a you know a comedy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/687">TS</a>]

00:11:29   it seemed like he was sort of pushing a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/689">TS</a>]

00:11:33   agendas or you know pushing thoughts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/693">TS</a>]

00:11:35   which I'm sure will probably talk about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/695">TS</a>]

00:11:36   seems to be a short aspect of pushing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/696">TS</a>]

00:11:40   point of view but it seemed like it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/700">TS</a>]

00:11:43   it was trying to push the boundary there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/703">TS</a>]

00:11:44   even though yeah this is about it a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/704">TS</a>]

00:11:46   sports show right and then you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/706">TS</a>]

00:11:48   trying to get this little episode they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/708">TS</a>]

00:11:49   deal with a bomb threat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/709">TS</a>]

00:11:51   someone wants to blow up the building [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/711">TS</a>]

00:11:52   because some radio host makes it and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/712">TS</a>]

00:11:54   know insensitive comment I would someone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/714">TS</a>]

00:11:56   want to kill us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/716">TS</a>]

00:11:57   well I mean all of his big TV shows have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/717">TS</a>]

00:12:01   been this is behind the scenes of what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/721">TS</a>]

00:12:04   this business does right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/724">TS</a>]

00:12:06   whether it's the west wing or its sports [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/726">TS</a>]

00:12:08   night or two tvs news station or it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/728">TS</a>]

00:12:10   studio it's always this is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/730">TS</a>]

00:12:12   nitty-gritty behind-the-scenes the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/732">TS</a>]

00:12:14   people who do what you see the front of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/734">TS</a>]

00:12:16   them and and I was less interested in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/736">TS</a>]

00:12:19   studio 60 because i didn't really care [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/739">TS</a>]

00:12:21   about night clubs but I love sports [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/741">TS</a>]

00:12:23   center and so I found ambassador even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/743">TS</a>]

00:12:25   though it wasn't sportscenter it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/745">TS</a>]

00:12:27   supposed to be right there and I thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/747">TS</a>]

00:12:28   that was fascinating because of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/748">TS</a>]

00:12:30   topic and i will and i like i like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/750">TS</a>]

00:12:32   politics policy and politics into the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/752">TS</a>]

00:12:34   West Wing got to me but I do agree that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/754">TS</a>]

00:12:37   I think like if you're not into sports [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/757">TS</a>]

00:12:39   center demographic sports night kinda [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/759">TS</a>]

00:12:41   was like why do I care about this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/761">TS</a>]

00:12:42   between their i8 I don't fall sports [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/762">TS</a>]

00:12:44   almost at all and i'm not really a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/764">TS</a>]

00:12:46   sports fan I don't watch SportsCenter i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/766">TS</a>]

00:12:48   love the wild switch your and aaron [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/768">TS</a>]

00:12:49   sorkin finding you'll watch because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/769">TS</a>]

00:12:51   you're so I didn't even know at the time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/771">TS</a>]

00:12:52   I mean that was that and west wing which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/772">TS</a>]

00:12:54   started around the same time I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/774">TS</a>]

00:12:56   sports i was slightly earlier and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/776">TS</a>]

00:12:58   season when he was doing bullet once per [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/778">TS</a>]

00:13:01   season over web and so I didn't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/781">TS</a>]

00:13:04   until I start watching both of these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/784">TS</a>]

00:13:05   with this was the same guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/785">TS</a>]

00:13:07   it was for me was the characters in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/787">TS</a>]

00:13:08   writing and as someone especially [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/788">TS</a>]

00:13:10   someone who's a writer I just I really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/790">TS</a>]

00:13:12   admire his dialogue is great and pacing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/792">TS</a>]

00:13:14   he's got great you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/794">TS</a>]

00:13:17   masterful dialogue these various witty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/797">TS</a>]

00:13:20   banter things about the infuriating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/800">TS</a>]

00:13:21   thing to me about Aaron Sorkin's talent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/801">TS</a>]

00:13:23   since i don't have it is you know he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/803">TS</a>]

00:13:27   it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/807">TS</a>]

00:13:29   first of all I think it's impressive [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/809">TS</a>]

00:13:30   that he can whether it's accurate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/810">TS</a>]

00:13:32   accurately depicted or not he makes it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/812">TS</a>]

00:13:34   feel like he knows exactly what it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/814">TS</a>]

00:13:35   like backstage and sports center or by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/815">TS</a>]

00:13:38   the scenes in the white house or in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/818">TS</a>]

00:13:39   newsroom like it feels like he's done [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/819">TS</a>]

00:13:41   his research with the possible exception [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/821">TS</a>]

00:13:43   of studio 60 and then when you later on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/823">TS</a>]

00:13:48   that it's not just his characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/828">TS</a>]

00:13:49   dialogue his character soft like many of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/829">TS</a>]

00:13:50   us wish we were able to speak [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/830">TS</a>]

00:13:52   extemporaneously and oftentimes can take [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/832">TS</a>]

00:13:56   out some of the believability i don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/836">TS</a>]

00:13:57   think most people have as many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/837">TS</a>]

00:13:58   statistics and factories that their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/838">TS</a>]

00:14:00   instant recall as the characters are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/840">TS</a>]

00:14:01   sort of show but I enjoy that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/841">TS</a>]

00:14:02   fictionalization anyway but it's the way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/842">TS</a>]

00:14:05   he crafted his storytelling that I find [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/845">TS</a>]

00:14:07   very impressive you look at especially [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/847">TS</a>]

00:14:09   you know you can tell when Sorkin stops [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/849">TS</a>]

00:14:12   reading The West Wing when he leaves the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/852">TS</a>]

00:14:13   show [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/853">TS</a>]

00:14:14   everybody's IQ on that show drops by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/854">TS</a>]

00:14:16   about 50 points in the drama becomes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/856">TS</a>]

00:14:18   totally different than what well because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/858">TS</a>]

00:14:19   they make it about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/859">TS</a>]

00:14:20   thank you don't want drama is conflict [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/860">TS</a>]

00:14:21   right so we need to make everybody angry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/861">TS</a>]

00:14:24   at each other right and that you'll [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/864">TS</a>]

00:14:25   notice that just joshin related because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/865">TS</a>]

00:14:27   the total jerk people just yelling at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/867">TS</a>]

00:14:28   each other all want Leo was always angry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/868">TS</a>]

00:14:31   ya know if there's never any common [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/871">TS</a>]

00:14:32   ground or any reconciliation part of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/872">TS</a>]

00:14:34   that sort of makes you feel like oh well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/874">TS</a>]

00:14:37   these guys at the end of the day are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/877">TS</a>]

00:14:38   still friends even if they're going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/878">TS</a>]

00:14:39   through this tough spot right now but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/879">TS</a>]

00:14:42   the way he crashed his actual story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/882">TS</a>]

00:14:44   telling where there's so many times when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/884">TS</a>]

00:14:45   he the the narrative marks about with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/885">TS</a>]

00:14:48   time even on the show like the Western [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/888">TS</a>]

00:14:51   sportswear you'll see the story told [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/891">TS</a>]

00:14:52   slightly out of order or you'll see the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/892">TS</a>]

00:14:55   same part of the storytelling from two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/895">TS</a>]

00:14:57   perspectives the the only writer i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/897">TS</a>]

00:14:59   can achieve that on his level is is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/899">TS</a>]

00:15:01   Matthew leader with madmen who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/901">TS</a>]

00:15:03   occasionally does some of the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/903">TS</a>]

00:15:04   trillion you get he is of course I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/904">TS</a>]

00:15:07   we often see the standard construction [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/907">TS</a>]

00:15:09   of a TV show where you've got you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/909">TS</a>]

00:15:11   you're a plot which is your main thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/911">TS</a>]

00:15:13   going on you got a subplot sometimes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/913">TS</a>]

00:15:15   they tied together but I think in circus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/915">TS</a>]

00:15:16   shows that they almost always end up in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/916">TS</a>]

00:15:18   some way interleaving in a way that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/918">TS</a>]

00:15:20   don't expect like Seinfeld [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/920">TS</a>]

00:15:22   just like Seinfeld it's been pretty much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/922">TS</a>]

00:15:25   the same it's like the Jerry Seinfeld [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/925">TS</a>]

00:15:27   president united states that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/927">TS</a>]

00:15:29   darkest timeline Dan but now do you I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/929">TS</a>]

00:15:33   mean I know exactly what my Chiefs or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/933">TS</a>]

00:15:36   complaint is but I i I'm curious since [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/936">TS</a>]

00:15:38   it's clearly that this is becoming a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/938">TS</a>]

00:15:40   sort of lovin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/940">TS</a>]

00:15:41   what are our issues with sort of what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/941">TS</a>]

00:15:44   don't you like so i'll say that won the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/944">TS</a>]

00:15:48   West Wing was out i was at when I first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/948">TS</a>]

00:15:50   came out I was not in technology was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/950">TS</a>]

00:15:52   actually public policy analyst and to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/952">TS</a>]

00:15:54   see a TV show where they were smart [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/954">TS</a>]

00:15:56   people talking about policy and people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/956">TS</a>]

00:15:58   knew what they were talking about it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/958">TS</a>]

00:15:59   like this is awesome but I went back and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/959">TS</a>]

00:16:01   I've been what are you watching it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/961">TS</a>]

00:16:03   I'm like man this is preachy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/963">TS</a>]

00:16:05   I mean wow I still love the west wing I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/965">TS</a>]

00:16:07   think it's one of the best TV shows but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/967">TS</a>]

00:16:09   it's very preachy and not not that it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/969">TS</a>]

00:16:11   a bad way or are in a bad way or a bad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/971">TS</a>]

00:16:13   thing but it's very like she thinks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/973">TS</a>]

00:16:16   everybody just doesn't get it and he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/976">TS</a>]

00:16:17   wants to teach them and I think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/977">TS</a>]

00:16:20   that's one of his flaws sometimes it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/980">TS</a>]

00:16:22   goes a little too overboard at trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/982">TS</a>]

00:16:24   say you don't know this you need to know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/984">TS</a>]

00:16:27   this and I'm gonna tell you for the next [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/987">TS</a>]

00:16:28   hour and I'm and so I think that great a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/988">TS</a>]

00:16:31   lot of people i think that's one other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/991">TS</a>]

00:16:32   thing that some people don't like Sorkin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/992">TS</a>]

00:16:35   poor is that sort of storytelling i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/995">TS</a>]

00:16:38   think that that his his construction is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/998">TS</a>]

00:16:42   it's sort of a memorable and frustrating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1002">TS</a>]

00:16:45   sometimes because you'll have things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1005">TS</a>]

00:16:46   where you know you definitely have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1006">TS</a>]

00:16:48   things that they're building up to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1008">TS</a>]

00:16:49   something and then which is good and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1009">TS</a>]

00:16:53   was it like really good technique but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1013">TS</a>]

00:16:55   then you get to that something and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1015">TS</a>]

00:16:56   realize that oh this is basically like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1016">TS</a>]

00:16:58   like the thing that I wish that I had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1018">TS</a>]

00:17:01   said when someone says something mean to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1021">TS</a>]

00:17:02   me and they're like really like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1022">TS</a>]

00:17:05   three hours later out like this is what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1025">TS</a>]

00:17:07   I would have said if i was there goes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1027">TS</a>]

00:17:08   your text or called when the jerk store [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1028">TS</a>]

00:17:12   that's how I felt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1032">TS</a>]

00:17:13   hey go I i actually did not watch [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1033">TS</a>]

00:17:15   seinfeld sorry this isn't about side [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1035">TS</a>]

00:17:17   flex [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1037">TS</a>]

00:17:18   I've seen happy to get your ex is all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1038">TS</a>]

00:17:21   about tvs are absolutely right because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1041">TS</a>]

00:17:22   that's what i was thinking about when we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1042">TS</a>]

00:17:24   first said we were gonna talk about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1044">TS</a>]

00:17:26   Aaron Sorkin here i thought well that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1046">TS</a>]

00:17:27   the best way for me to describe his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1047">TS</a>]

00:17:28   dialogue is that sort of the list of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1048">TS</a>]

00:17:30   read escalade which is the I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1050">TS</a>]

00:17:32   translate the staircase with which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1052">TS</a>]

00:17:33   like when you're on your way out this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1053">TS</a>]

00:17:34   you think of the things you should have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1054">TS</a>]

00:17:35   said yeah and he does a great job of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1055">TS</a>]

00:17:37   channeling that but yeah it is sometimes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:40   you're like nobody actually talks like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1060">TS</a>]

00:17:42   that very few people think of all that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1062">TS</a>]

00:17:45   on the spot when you really need it to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1065">TS</a>]

00:17:47   really deliver that that punch of and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1067">TS</a>]

00:17:49   I'm rarely is it to people engaged in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1069">TS</a>]

00:17:51   single conversation both seem to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1071">TS</a>]

00:17:52   managing to pull it out this but at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1072">TS</a>]

00:17:54   same time it's good TV great TV it is i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1074">TS</a>]

00:17:57   feel like it makes you feel like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1077">TS</a>]

00:18:00   have the power to actually talk like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1080">TS</a>]

00:18:02   that in real life at least watching this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1082">TS</a>]

00:18:04   and also growing up I'd be like alright [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1084">TS</a>]

00:18:06   if I just indoctrinate myself into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1086">TS</a>]

00:18:08   enough Amy sherman-palladino and aaron [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1088">TS</a>]

00:18:10   sorkin i will eventually be able to talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1090">TS</a>]

00:18:11   really quickly and Willie and apparently [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1091">TS</a>]

00:18:14   no no not so much but when you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1094">TS</a>]

00:18:16   occasionally get that moment it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1096">TS</a>]

00:18:18   oh yes yes I could totally be on a show [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1098">TS</a>]

00:18:20   for five seconds so it's aspirational TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1100">TS</a>]

00:18:23   that's very inspirational wit I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1103">TS</a>]

00:18:25   gonna say that my to address lexus point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1105">TS</a>]

00:18:27   about laws i think and it sort of ties [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1107">TS</a>]

00:18:29   into what I think Dan was saying the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1109">TS</a>]

00:18:31   idealism aspect of it which again I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1111">TS</a>]

00:18:33   really admire but he kind of at times [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1113">TS</a>]

00:18:37   converge towards the naivete I mean and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1117">TS</a>]

00:18:41   that's not quite the right thing because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1121">TS</a>]

00:18:42   I think he's a smart guy and he knows [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1122">TS</a>]

00:18:43   what the problems are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1123">TS</a>]

00:18:45   but the idea that good things will just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1125">TS</a>]

00:18:48   sort of float to the top like there is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1128">TS</a>]

00:18:49   sort of a meritocracy somehow and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1129">TS</a>]

00:18:52   just by being really pure and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1132">TS</a>]

00:18:54   well-intentioned the truthful shine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1134">TS</a>]

00:18:56   hours which is how I think we don't like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1136">TS</a>]

00:18:58   it to be but what did you think was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1138">TS</a>]

00:19:00   remarkable with the west wing in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1140">TS</a>]

00:19:01   particular my parents make rush limbaugh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1141">TS</a>]

00:19:06   look liberal and they love the west wing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1146">TS</a>]

00:19:09   despite you know it it's clear the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1149">TS</a>]

00:19:11   disagreement with their political [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1151">TS</a>]

00:19:13   perspectives and I think what the way he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1153">TS</a>]

00:19:16   can pull that off is that he's he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1156">TS</a>]

00:19:18   committed to it you know he doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1158">TS</a>]

00:19:19   shower convicted he has a viewpoint that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1159">TS</a>]

00:19:21   he wants to express it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1161">TS</a>]

00:19:22   his characters are all going to be these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1162">TS</a>]

00:19:23   idealistic people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1163">TS</a>]

00:19:25   and you know what was nice as that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1165">TS</a>]

00:19:27   found at least Arnold Vinick comes it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1167">TS</a>]

00:19:30   that you know season six and seven and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1170">TS</a>]

00:19:31   he's not historical character as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1171">TS</a>]

00:19:33   Republican that the Liberals who share [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1173">TS</a>]

00:19:37   the liberal philosophy is expressed on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1177">TS</a>]

00:19:38   the show can appreciate and like to but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1178">TS</a>]

00:19:41   not every Republican character on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1181">TS</a>]

00:19:46   vilify know he he took care to make sure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1186">TS</a>]

00:19:48   that even when he had his viewpoint that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1188">TS</a>]

00:19:49   he wasn't there as they hired a man is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1189">TS</a>]

00:19:51   in the handout on it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1191">TS</a>]

00:19:54   rabbi Marc person yeah but what what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1194">TS</a>]

00:19:57   infuriates me with aaron sorkin is his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1197">TS</a>]

00:20:00   seeming embrace of the fact that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1200">TS</a>]

00:20:02   understands absolutely nothing about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1202">TS</a>]

00:21:38   that he would listen to that he would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1298">TS</a>]

00:21:40   really be able to write a great story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1300">TS</a>]

00:21:42   about technology and in fact of course [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1302">TS</a>]

00:21:44   he has only not only written to movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:47   the social network which looks feels and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1307">TS</a>]

00:21:49   technology but he's also writing the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1309">TS</a>]

00:21:51   biopic of steve jobs that is not the one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1311">TS</a>]

00:21:54   with ashton kutcher which is based on i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1314">TS</a>]

00:22:07   real-time moments before he goes on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1327">TS</a>]

00:22:10   stage at various apple keynote for the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1330">TS</a>]

00:22:11   is the original mac yes the ipod and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1331">TS</a>]

00:22:15   iphone is the iphone is I think it's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1335">TS</a>]

00:22:17   iphone right let's go to believe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1337">TS</a>]

00:22:19   everything the iphone but which which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1339">TS</a>]

00:22:21   I mean and you can kind of get away with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1341">TS</a>]

00:22:23   that by saying that well apple stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1343">TS</a>]

00:22:25   isn't always about the midi gritty parts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1345">TS</a>]

00:22:27   of technology there's more to it than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1347">TS</a>]

00:22:28   that I think that's part of the reason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1348">TS</a>]

00:22:29   that in my mind I liked the social [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1349">TS</a>]

00:22:32   network [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1352">TS</a>]

00:22:32   I think it succeeded in telling me a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1352">TS</a>]

00:22:35   story that i didn't think i was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1355">TS</a>]

00:22:36   necessarily interested in hearing when i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1356">TS</a>]

00:22:38   first went into it and yet i found it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1358">TS</a>]

00:22:40   compelling and it's not necessarily all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1360">TS</a>]

00:22:43   about programming I mean that plays a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1363">TS</a>]

00:22:46   part in it but it doesn't it doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1366">TS</a>]

00:22:47   really matter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1367">TS</a>]

00:22:48   that's not a thing that matters in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1368">TS</a>]

00:22:49   grants give it a lot but it you're right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1369">TS</a>]

00:22:52   that he does have a weakness that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1372">TS</a>]

00:22:53   doesn't do you have any interested in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1373">TS</a>]

00:22:55   having interest in learning about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1375">TS</a>]

00:22:57   more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1377">TS</a>]

00:22:57   I don't know that that you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1377">TS</a>]

00:22:58   obviously I don't think anyone say that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1378">TS</a>]

00:23:00   undermines the rest of his guru as it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1380">TS</a>]

00:23:02   were but it is definitely flawed is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1382">TS</a>]

00:23:04   ready [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1384">TS</a>]

00:23:05   no I think the weird thing is that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1385">TS</a>]

00:23:06   seems perfectly confident to talk about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1386">TS</a>]

00:23:08   technology fits in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1388">TS</a>]

00:23:09   if the topic itself at hand is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1389">TS</a>]

00:23:11   technology for instance in the shelter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1391">TS</a>]

00:23:13   network and I have no doubt that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1393">TS</a>]

00:23:15   Steve Jobs movie will be well written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1395">TS</a>]

00:23:17   and well represented but when it when he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1397">TS</a>]

00:23:20   gets the option to use technology at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1400">TS</a>]

00:23:22   butt of his joke he will gladly take it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1402">TS</a>]

00:23:26   up i mean he he uses a similar scene [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1406">TS</a>]

00:23:28   like that in every single one of his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1408">TS</a>]

00:23:30   shows sometimes multiple times to great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1410">TS</a>]

00:23:32   effect [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1412">TS</a>]

00:23:33   yeah i think this Lincoln Sports Network [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1413">TS</a>]

00:23:35   Casey your dad's gonna throw a computer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1415">TS</a>]

00:23:37   out the window or something like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1417">TS</a>]

00:23:38   something like that yes and it's just so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1418">TS</a>]

00:23:42   I one of the things that struck me also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1422">TS</a>]

00:23:44   this might be any sort of flopping over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1424">TS</a>]

00:23:46   here again we're not trying to be came [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1426">TS</a>]

00:23:47   not to bury aaron sorkin months largely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1427">TS</a>]

00:23:50   to praise him i was a big love in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1430">TS</a>]

00:23:52   minute ago and now and now it's all gone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1432">TS</a>]

00:24:05   west wing because there's the episode in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1445">TS</a>]

00:24:16   thing about we need to have a real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1456">TS</a>]

00:24:17   debate not something we're limited just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1457">TS</a>]

00:24:19   30-second sound bites and rebuttals and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1459">TS</a>]

00:24:21   all this and that's brought again in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1461">TS</a>]

00:24:24   newsroom at the end of the newsroom [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1464">TS</a>]

00:24:32   the candidates are forced to answer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1472">TS</a>]

00:24:33   questions now that's not necessarily [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1473">TS</a>]

00:24:35   repeating himself that he says he didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1475">TS</a>]

00:24:37   write that season of The West Wing but i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1477">TS</a>]

00:24:39   want to point that out in front of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1479">TS</a>]

00:24:40   everyone that's a fair point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1480">TS</a>]

00:24:41   well and if you sure everybody up here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1481">TS</a>]

00:24:44   seated but then there's a clip out there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1484">TS</a>]

00:24:46   were somebody did a bunch of cuts where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1486">TS</a>]

00:24:48   Aaron Sorkin almost word for word we use [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1488">TS</a>]

00:24:51   a whole lot of his stuff it's nine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1491">TS</a>]

00:24:52   minutes worth of cuts in fact i will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1492">TS</a>]

00:24:55   point out like that in fact in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1495">TS</a>]

00:24:56   season he did right where he goes up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1496">TS</a>]

00:24:58   against partly goes up against James [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1498">TS</a>]

00:24:59   Brolin yes i think that the Vinick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1499">TS</a>]

00:25:02   sandals thing is a call back to bad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1502">TS</a>]

00:25:03   agree two hundred percent that do you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1503">TS</a>]

00:25:05   know by the way to soften the one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1505">TS</a>]

00:25:07   episode of the west wing in which Sorkin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1507">TS</a>]

00:25:09   himself appears [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1509">TS</a>]

00:25:11   for example the west wing he's in here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1511">TS</a>]

00:25:15   since social network he's in the series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1515">TS</a>]

00:25:17   finale of The West Wing when Santos is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1517">TS</a>]

00:25:23   a bunch of dignitaries there Mac sitting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1523">TS</a>]

00:25:25   there on the stage as if he's some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1525">TS</a>]

00:25:27   important analytical here appears in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1527">TS</a>]

00:25:29   social network as a ad exec yes briefly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1529">TS</a>]

00:25:32   and he appeared actually did quite a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1532">TS</a>]

00:25:35   memorable turn on one of his own shows [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1535">TS</a>]

00:25:37   but on entourage appears as himself in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1537">TS</a>]

00:25:39   several episodes as a somewhat per [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1539">TS</a>]

00:25:42   article version of himself [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1542">TS</a>]

00:25:43   what we believe is a problem running [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1543">TS</a>]

00:25:45   with the wall and with drugs and stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1545">TS</a>]

00:25:47   like that i have mentioned 30 rock but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1547">TS</a>]

00:25:49   he also I he appears on 30 rock as I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1549">TS</a>]

00:25:53   believe himself and yes in a walk and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1553">TS</a>]

00:25:55   talk that's a hilarious [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1555">TS</a>]

00:25:57   he has a good sense of humor about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1557">TS</a>]

00:25:59   himself in some aspects it's he's ok [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1559">TS</a>]

00:26:02   with you were when it's in parodying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1562">TS</a>]

00:26:05   himself but he seems to be very very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1565">TS</a>]

00:26:07   scared of the bloggers in the you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1567">TS</a>]

00:26:10   the folks even came [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1570">TS</a>]

00:26:12   yeah if he doesn't get a say that it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1572">TS</a>]

00:26:15   that it's not funny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1575">TS</a>]

00:26:16   we'll be going back to the into the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1576">TS</a>]

00:26:18   issues of like you know like not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1578">TS</a>]

00:26:19   fact-checking the technology or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1579">TS</a>]

00:26:21   something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1581">TS</a>]

00:26:21   I think it also ties in especially [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1581">TS</a>]

00:26:23   someone as earlier stuff where is it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1583">TS</a>]

00:26:25   pretty clear like it like wasn't he also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1585">TS</a>]

00:26:27   the showrunner 44 West weekend sports [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1587">TS</a>]

00:26:31   night [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1591">TS</a>]

00:26:31   I'm so like like he was the ultimate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1591">TS</a>]

00:26:33   authority and I think they're sometimes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1593">TS</a>]

00:26:36   when he didn't really have people there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1596">TS</a>]

00:26:39   to say you know know or you know maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1599">TS</a>]

00:26:42   we should have someone look over this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1602">TS</a>]

00:26:44   and so you have the issue of and I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1604">TS</a>]

00:26:47   this also comes into the the preaching [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1607">TS</a>]

00:26:49   this a little bit we're like this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1609">TS</a>]

00:26:51   aaron sorkin show its gonna be like this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1611">TS</a>]

00:26:52   and you don't have enough input to kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1612">TS</a>]

00:26:55   of whatever those things lee famously [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1615">TS</a>]

00:26:57   overruled I mean he rewrote i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1617">TS</a>]

00:27:00   almost every episode of the west wing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1620">TS</a>]

00:27:01   that he was involved in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1621">TS</a>]

00:27:03   yeah because he took that final [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1623">TS</a>]

00:27:04   executive sort of pass and said yeah I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1624">TS</a>]

00:27:06   going to basically make sure that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1626">TS</a>]

00:27:08   all of the snob while ago sorry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1628">TS</a>]

00:27:10   well I remember at one point he was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1630">TS</a>]

00:27:12   doing both sports night and west wing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1632">TS</a>]

00:27:13   like he was writing all the scripts for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1633">TS</a>]

00:27:15   both i mean that's that's insane [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1635">TS</a>]

00:27:18   so I think he's also doing a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1638">TS</a>]

00:27:19   cocaine too so he was that affected it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1639">TS</a>]

00:27:22   what I like to look at is the the fun [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1642">TS</a>]

00:27:24   game to play is who is the sorgan [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1644">TS</a>]

00:27:26   facsimile character in Sorkin's writing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1646">TS</a>]

00:27:28   in The West Wing i decided i think it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1648">TS</a>]

00:27:30   everybody is like Josh right and i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1650">TS</a>]

00:27:34   that in sports [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1654">TS</a>]

00:27:35   I think it's both Casey and Damned and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1655">TS</a>]

00:27:37   then when you get to really get the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1657">TS</a>]

00:27:39   studio 60 we have Matthew Perry's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1659">TS</a>]

00:27:42   character Matt Albie he's clearly he the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1662">TS</a>]

00:27:46   the amazing thing about Matt Albie who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1666">TS</a>]

00:27:49   writes this saturday lifestyle shows [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1669">TS</a>]

00:27:51   that he writes every episode himself he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1671">TS</a>]

00:27:53   lays off the writers because they're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1673">TS</a>]

00:27:54   good enough so he's gonna read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1674">TS</a>]

00:27:55   everyone's health and how does he do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1675">TS</a>]

00:27:57   that how does he work this magic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1677">TS</a>]

00:27:59   how can we accomplish such great writing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1679">TS</a>]

00:28:00   and it's it's really i mean i really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1680">TS</a>]

00:28:03   like Aaron Sorkin I want to be clear but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1683">TS</a>]

00:28:05   I think it's kind of embarrassing when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1685">TS</a>]

00:28:06   you write the character who's clearly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1686">TS</a>]

00:28:07   meant to be you and he is just so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1687">TS</a>]

00:28:09   perfect so you thought it was Josh in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1689">TS</a>]

00:28:12   the West Wing i would have said maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1692">TS</a>]

00:28:13   Josh but also Sam you know perfection is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1693">TS</a>]

00:28:16   writer always wanted to get all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1696">TS</a>]

00:28:18   facts in their wants to educate people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1698">TS</a>]

00:28:20   once touted smart people wants to have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1700">TS</a>]

00:28:22   witnessed my love i think it's all these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1702">TS</a>]

00:28:24   is right because Toby to because we take [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1704">TS</a>]

00:28:26   it all so seriously is like he throws [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1706">TS</a>]

00:28:28   away his hairy or over again he wants to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1708">TS</a>]

00:28:31   be Sam but he's really Josh we all want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1711">TS</a>]

00:28:35   to be safe I think we all know that he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1715">TS</a>]

00:28:37   John Hoynes clearly top i think it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1717">TS</a>]

00:28:43   funny and particularly in the case of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1723">TS</a>]

00:28:44   West Wing that that that it has a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1724">TS</a>]

00:28:48   phenomenon took on such a life of itself [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1728">TS</a>]

00:28:50   I mean even even after he left I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1730">TS</a>]

00:28:52   you know we all would agree that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1732">TS</a>]

00:28:54   show did suffer sort of a precipitous to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1734">TS</a>]

00:28:56   climb in the next season and is a season [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1736">TS</a>]

00:28:59   and a half I think towards the end of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1739">TS</a>]

00:29:00   season six it starts to pick up and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1740">TS</a>]

00:29:02   think season 7 is actually pretty good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1742">TS</a>]

00:29:03   though it's not as good as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1743">TS</a>]

00:29:05   when he was just a different show it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1745">TS</a>]

00:29:07   different it's infected two shows is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1747">TS</a>]

00:29:08   campaign and the homefront the home from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1748">TS</a>]

00:29:11   stuff is really boring for the most part [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1751">TS</a>]

00:29:12   the campaign is much better stow which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1752">TS</a>]

00:29:15   is just goes to show you that the part [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1755">TS</a>]

00:29:16   they got away from what he was doing the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1756">TS</a>]

00:29:18   more they were able to do their own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1758">TS</a>]

00:29:19   thing and do that well rather than just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1759">TS</a>]

00:29:21   trying to do a bad impression of aaron [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1761">TS</a>]

00:29:23   sorkin but it's funny to me that it took [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1763">TS</a>]

00:29:24   on a life of its own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1764">TS</a>]

00:29:26   because we're still here in that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1766">TS</a>]

00:29:28   know you look at the there's Twitter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1768">TS</a>]

00:29:29   accounts for all the West when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1769">TS</a>]

00:30:01   they want to make them this whole thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1801">TS</a>]

00:30:22   spaceship right but of course they had a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1822">TS</a>]

00:30:26   feeling that some of the other sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1826">TS</a>]

00:30:27   movies we didn't talk about you like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1827">TS</a>]

00:30:32   movie I don't think circuit wrote the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1832">TS</a>]

00:30:46   it's a weirdly I think we talked about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1846">TS</a>]

00:30:47   this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1847">TS</a>]

00:30:47   it's a weirdly structured movie as is i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1847">TS</a>]

00:30:50   would argue social network is also a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1850">TS</a>]

00:30:51   very particularly structured movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1851">TS</a>]

00:30:54   well biopics in general on the people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1854">TS</a>]

00:30:57   are still living [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1857">TS</a>]

00:30:58   yeah which is the tricky part was saying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1858">TS</a>]

00:31:00   I was compared to do tonight it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1860">TS</a>]

00:31:08   vampires [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1868">TS</a>]

00:31:08   you know I i think that the the issue i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1868">TS</a>]

00:31:14   had with the social network i thought it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1874">TS</a>]

00:31:15   was a good movie but it feels like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1875">TS</a>]

00:31:17   never really get started there's you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1877">TS</a>]

00:31:20   know there's enjoyable scenes they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1880">TS</a>]

00:31:21   connect well as well plotted i guess but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1881">TS</a>]

00:31:23   it just feels like he and when you watch [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1883">TS</a>]

00:31:26   this organ scripted thing you're waiting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1886">TS</a>]

00:31:29   for it was gonna get really heated up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1889">TS</a>]

00:31:30   and intense and it doesn't it's I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1890">TS</a>]

00:31:33   the he does a nice job I think of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1893">TS</a>]

00:31:37   depicting those characters and I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1897">TS</a>]

00:31:38   that not michael cera does a really good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1898">TS</a>]

00:31:40   job in the movie but and I just I feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1900">TS</a>]

00:31:44   like you're just constantly waiting for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1904">TS</a>]

00:31:45   it to kick into high gear and it doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1905">TS</a>]

00:31:46   I mean it's tepid in places and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1906">TS</a>]

00:31:48   definitely probably the calmest Sorkin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1908">TS</a>]

00:31:51   movie that I've ever watched but a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1911">TS</a>]

00:31:54   of it does take place sitting so there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1914">TS</a>]

00:31:55   that every yeah there's a lot of time a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1915">TS</a>]

00:31:58   XXX I mean in reality circles best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1918">TS</a>]

00:32:02   opportunity is when he has two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1922">TS</a>]

00:32:04   characters bouncing off of each other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1924">TS</a>]

00:32:06   one on wasn't enough walking there was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1926">TS</a>]

00:32:08   not enough 142 meeting and exhausted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1928">TS</a>]

00:32:11   walking that's gross working today [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1931">TS</a>]

00:32:12   I mean there's there's some of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1932">TS</a>]

00:32:14   deposition stuff that's really biting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1934">TS</a>]

00:32:15   and really sparkling like oh yeah that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1935">TS</a>]

00:32:18   that's the aaron sorkin that I know and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1938">TS</a>]

00:32:20   love at the same time I really enjoyed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1940">TS</a>]

00:32:24   the film uh but it's i agree with you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1944">TS</a>]

00:32:27   that it's not necessarily representative [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1947">TS</a>]

00:32:29   of what an aaron sorkin movie can be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1949">TS</a>]

00:32:31   that actually brings up the question of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1951">TS</a>]

00:32:33   like should an aaron sorkin movie be an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1953">TS</a>]

00:32:35   aaron sorkin movie I mean if its parents [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1955">TS</a>]

00:32:38   like joint if you will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1958">TS</a>]

00:32:40   no I will not but oh ok well I'm you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1960">TS</a>]

00:32:44   know like like it if we go to a movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1964">TS</a>]

00:32:46   and it doesn't have like you know some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1966">TS</a>]

00:32:48   real big whitney lead-up and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1968">TS</a>]

00:32:50   something like that like is that a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1970">TS</a>]

00:32:52   downer or does that mean that he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1972">TS</a>]

00:32:53   actually getting better i mean i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1973">TS</a>]

00:32:56   part of it is he's been so consistent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1976">TS</a>]

00:32:58   with the email he sort of like his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1978">TS</a>]

00:33:00   Sorkin repertory players and his Sorkin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1980">TS</a>]

00:33:03   repertory plot themes because he had so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1983">TS</a>]

00:33:06   consistently return to the same well you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1986">TS</a>]

00:33:07   know he's gonna cast Josh Malina just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1987">TS</a>]

00:33:09   about everything and he's going to have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1989">TS</a>]

00:33:10   high stakes in many things or people are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1990">TS</a>]

00:33:13   going to treat their things like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1993">TS</a>]

00:33:14   high-stakes whether norms think they are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1994">TS</a>]

00:33:17   not and I think that because he's going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1997">TS</a>]

00:33:19   to that well sometimes so many times and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/1999">TS</a>]

00:33:21   done it quite a definitely in ways that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2001">TS</a>]

00:33:23   entertain us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2003">TS</a>]

00:33:24   yes I wanted to keep doing those things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2004">TS</a>]

00:33:25   that's what i want to see when i go to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2005">TS</a>]

00:33:27   sort of movie I don't want to see in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2007">TS</a>]

00:33:28   Quentin Tarantino movie or Steven [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2008">TS</a>]

00:33:30   Spielberg movie want to go to see it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2010">TS</a>]

00:33:32   working i want to feel like arizona and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2012">TS</a>]

00:33:34   i was in some ways I know his background [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2014">TS</a>]

00:33:36   comes from theater and he started in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2016">TS</a>]

00:33:37   movies but I feel like he does a better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2017">TS</a>]

00:33:39   job with the TV stuff where he has a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2019">TS</a>]

00:33:41   larger canvas and there is this ability [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2021">TS</a>]

00:33:43   to do continuity and sort of string [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2023">TS</a>]

00:33:45   things out plot arcs to develop over the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2025">TS</a>]

00:33:47   course of the season as opposed to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2027">TS</a>]

00:33:48   having a cram it in a couple hours I to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2028">TS</a>]

00:33:51   me that seems a better mix tape for him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2031">TS</a>]

00:33:53   like you know he can yeah he's a French [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2033">TS</a>]

00:33:55   word therefore it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2035">TS</a>]

00:33:56   yeah I just feel like that's I've seen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2036">TS</a>]

00:34:00   you know most of his later movies also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2040">TS</a>]

00:34:01   charlie wilson's war which is has again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2041">TS</a>]

00:34:04   enjoyable movie moments but it's it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2044">TS</a>]

00:34:06   kind of strung together strangely it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2046">TS</a>]

00:34:08   doesn't necessarily feel like oh my god [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2048">TS</a>]

00:34:11   that's a great movie in one that i want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2051">TS</a>]

00:34:13   to keep you know watch over and over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2053">TS</a>]

00:34:14   again I thought once in a kind of faded [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2054">TS</a>]

00:34:16   memory but I know his shows all go back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2056">TS</a>]

00:34:19   to and revisit time after time except [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2059">TS</a>]

00:34:22   studio 6a can get back everyone you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2062">TS</a>]

00:34:32   lot of it that certain did not get right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2072">TS</a>]

00:34:35   in terms of how backstage actually runs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2075">TS</a>]

00:34:38   but that said I think there are a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2078">TS</a>]

00:34:40   great moments in that and also i love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2080">TS</a>]

00:34:43   bradley whitford i love seeing him on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2083">TS</a>]

00:34:44   stage and I think Danny Tripp is one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2084">TS</a>]

00:34:46   his best circuit like I love Josh but I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2086">TS</a>]

00:34:49   almost think i prefer Danny trip to John [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2089">TS</a>]

00:34:51   I can't believe this is happening right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2091">TS</a>]

00:35:03   character in that show [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2103">TS</a>]

00:35:04   that's a great example of how sore can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2104">TS</a>]

00:35:06   you can use multiple episodes to build [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2106">TS</a>]

00:35:09   up a character I mean when they get into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2109">TS</a>]

00:35:18   up talking about something completely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2118">TS</a>]

00:35:19   different and it's kind of hard to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2119">TS</a>]

00:35:21   that in a film you know you can't you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2121">TS</a>]

00:35:23   can't really talk around the subject for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2123">TS</a>]

00:35:26   two hours unless you're Steven Spielberg [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2126">TS</a>]

00:35:28   in your writing Lincoln because Lincoln [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2128">TS</a>]

00:35:29   you know has the you have the background [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2129">TS</a>]

00:35:31   to have him give these big parking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2131">TS</a>]

00:35:33   speeches and bon mot said they didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2133">TS</a>]

00:35:36   have to tell the story because we all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2136">TS</a>]

00:35:37   knew it yeah exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2137">TS</a>]

00:35:38   but when you're trying to do a biopic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2138">TS</a>]

00:35:40   when you're trying to do something like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2140">TS</a>]

00:35:41   that so I mean it will be really really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2141">TS</a>]

00:35:44   interesting to see if he can tackle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2144">TS</a>]

00:35:47   something like the Steve Jobs move for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2147">TS</a>]

00:35:48   instance I almost like the idea of doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2148">TS</a>]

00:35:50   a really long scenes we've seen what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2150">TS</a>]

00:35:52   happens when circuit short scenes in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2152">TS</a>]

00:35:54   movie where he has to do a lot of setup [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2154">TS</a>]

00:35:56   and as you don't get a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2156">TS</a>]

00:35:57   back-and-forth I think my objection to I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2157">TS</a>]

00:36:00   like studio 60 I don't love it i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2160">TS</a>]

00:36:02   my objection is that he first of all I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2162">TS</a>]

00:36:04   don't think he really got forgets how to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2164">TS</a>]

00:36:07   write sketch-comedy I know you and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2167">TS</a>]

00:36:08   have disagreed about this but some of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2168">TS</a>]

00:36:10   the sketches that supposed to be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2170">TS</a>]

00:36:11   most hilarious are really really not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2171">TS</a>]

00:36:13   know I agree with you that doesn't mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2173">TS</a>]

00:36:15   it's not a funny show and I think it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2175">TS</a>]

00:36:17   impossible to go out and say you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2177">TS</a>]

00:36:18   this is the show that is the funniest [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2178">TS</a>]

00:36:20   show that everybody loves like that kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2180">TS</a>]

00:36:21   of build up you just write your story so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2181">TS</a>]

00:36:23   that then so I feel like he he gets [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2183">TS</a>]

00:36:26   afraid very early on in the scripting of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2186">TS</a>]

00:36:28   that show and moves away from what it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2188">TS</a>]

00:36:31   set out to be and then you get the very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2191">TS</a>]

00:36:33   broad characters John Goodman character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2193">TS</a>]

00:36:35   jonathan is so great on the west wing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2195">TS</a>]

00:36:37   and then just so brought in bizarre as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2197">TS</a>]

00:36:39   that judge on the on the studio 60 and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2199">TS</a>]

00:36:42   then he sort of gets a little bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2202">TS</a>]

00:36:43   self-referential we're talking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2203">TS</a>]

00:36:45   we've got a boost ratings we should do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2205">TS</a>]

00:36:46   things like have pregnancies and have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2206">TS</a>]

00:36:48   people get locked you know it we should [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2208">TS</a>]

00:36:51   do you know where they locked in a room [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2211">TS</a>]

00:36:52   and then hey Amanda piece character gets [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2212">TS</a>]

00:36:53   pregnant and then they're locked on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2213">TS</a>]

00:36:55   roof in that same episode we're talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2215">TS</a>]

00:36:56   about it gets a little bit less bizarre [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2216">TS</a>]

00:36:59   preferential yeah i mean i do think and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2219">TS</a>]

00:37:01   I think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2221">TS</a>]

00:37:02   some of that the newsroom suffers from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2222">TS</a>]

00:37:04   also i want to talk about the news right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2224">TS</a>]

00:37:07   yeah i know that you don't like the news [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2227">TS</a>]

00:37:08   i actually you like it i think it took a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2228">TS</a>]

00:37:10   while i think it took a while to develop [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2230">TS</a>]

00:37:11   and get to a place where I really liked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2231">TS</a>]

00:37:14   it and was in favor of the characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2234">TS</a>]

00:37:16   because there are so many characters I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2236">TS</a>]

00:37:17   cho who do you start off as unlikable um [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2237">TS</a>]

00:37:20   and I kind of it as the season [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2240">TS</a>]

00:37:22   progressed I found that I liked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2242">TS</a>]

00:37:23   will the jeff daniels character more and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2243">TS</a>]

00:37:26   more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2246">TS</a>]

00:37:26   he reminds me and in the later episodes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2246">TS</a>]

00:37:28   he starts to remind me more of like Toby [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2248">TS</a>]

00:37:30   the wedding or he's just he's cranky but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2250">TS</a>]

00:37:33   he's like underneath it's because he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2253">TS</a>]

00:37:34   so frustrated with the back that all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2254">TS</a>]

00:37:36   this stuff has never worked out so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2256">TS</a>]

00:37:38   like the newsroom but i think it i don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2258">TS</a>]

00:37:40   like the women on the newsroom I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2260">TS</a>]

00:37:42   they're I i think that circuit has been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2262">TS</a>]

00:37:44   attacked someone fairly simple as for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2264">TS</a>]

00:37:45   not writing women well and I think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2265">TS</a>]

00:37:47   is a fair critique on the newsroom I do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2267">TS</a>]

00:37:51   want to say that when you spend Wilson [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2271">TS</a>]

00:37:52   will McAvoy I don't think there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2272">TS</a>]

00:37:55   single and i challenge anyone to find me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2275">TS</a>]

00:37:58   there with better character naming shops [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2278">TS</a>]

00:38:18   kind of wanted to talk about but I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2298">TS</a>]

00:38:20   always wary about it because I do feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2300">TS</a>]

00:38:23   that circle gets an unjust rep for the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2303">TS</a>]

00:38:25   amount of oh he doesn't treat women he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2305">TS</a>]

00:38:32   crazy just crazy out of their mind and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2312">TS</a>]

00:38:35   there are some characters i agree with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2315">TS</a>]

00:38:38   but this witness's character on newsroom [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2318">TS</a>]

00:39:26   10 out of 10 on the way he portrays [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYNGvD0/2366">TS</a>]
