I'm actually crying. I don't know if
1:48
you can see. Are
1:51
you kidding me? You're just saying happy birthday to me with your
1:53
guitars? It was your birthday yesterday. I missed it. This
1:55
is the least I could do to make up for it. I
1:57
don't even. We have to. Smith
2:00
just saying, have your birthday. I'm beside myself
2:02
right now. That's like bucket list
2:04
shit. But I
2:07
didn't, I didn't, I didn't expect. Oh
2:09
my God. And spontaneous legit tears in
2:11
my eyes. Like, I don't know what to do.
2:13
Somebody else is going to have to do this
2:15
podcast. Cause I'm dead. Not
2:18
only can you not read because you don't have your glass
2:20
up. You can't read this synopsis because you got tears
2:22
in your eyes. Cause I have tears in my eyes. And
2:24
also I'm just like, are you kidding me? This is
2:26
I know. And my dog just knocked the guitar over. And
2:29
you're oh, great. It's
2:32
like, I sang Maggie happy birthday and then broke
2:34
my guitar. But
2:36
it was worth it. Sorry. It
2:39
was so worth it. Oh my
2:41
God. Well, thank you. Maggie, should I ask
2:43
a very important question? Hey Kurt Smith legend
2:45
that you are a dear friend of ours. I mean,
2:48
you've already done it, but are you ready to help
2:50
the birthday girl, Meg Margaret Cassidy Lawson. I podcast the
2:52
shit out of this amazing 100th
2:55
episode of psych. Um,
2:57
I'm ready to podcast the shit out of
3:00
anything you desire. Oh, this is why you're
3:02
a friend. Why we ask you to
3:04
come play. Oh,
3:06
thank you. That's beautiful. Also today's been
3:08
the best Kurt Smith just sang me
3:10
happy birthday on a
3:12
zoom. And Tim gifted me
3:15
a horseback trail ride through a
3:17
vineyard. I don't know. Like
3:19
I don't as it, as
3:21
it like, are you, are you drinking
3:24
while on the horse? No,
3:26
you do have to wait till the laughter, but I do
3:29
have some wine in me. Yes. They
3:33
give you a tasting after, and it's
3:36
glorious. It's just glorious. Okay. Let me
3:38
try to do this podcast right now
3:40
since you're here and I don't want
3:42
to take your whole entire day, even
3:44
though, uh, I could just hang out
3:46
with you all day. I
3:49
have so few, I think
3:51
my biggest one is that this is
3:53
my favorite Gus nickname. Maybe ever. It's
3:55
a good one. Okay. Let's dive in
3:57
season seven, episode five. 100
4:01
clues, our homage to Clue. I
4:06
was so dumb in reading this. I never understood, I never
4:08
caught the 100 was being the 100th episode. Yeah.
4:13
It's our 100th episode. I'm not very bright
4:15
sometimes. What? No, I didn't quite get that
4:17
either. Then I realized, 100 Clues, of course,
4:19
it's our 100th episode. But as I was
4:21
looking back at it, I was like, oh,
4:24
why did we call it that? All right. It's
4:26
our 100th episode. I remember
4:28
the cake. I
4:30
remember. Yeah, I have. Kurt, wait
4:32
till I show you the photos I
4:35
have of you and Rodriguez
4:37
just like hanging out on set
4:39
and like the
4:41
100th episode. There's like a group photo.
4:43
Like I have so many photos from
4:45
this episode. It's so so it was
4:47
really magical. And I remember it. I
4:49
remember it really well. I remember it
4:52
like it was yesterday. Oh, yeah. This was a
4:54
big deal for all you listeners. I'm sure you
4:56
probably realize this. But to get to
4:58
100 episodes on any television show is a stupid
5:01
big deal. Yeah, it's a
5:03
really big deal with this one with this script
5:05
and with this direction by, of course, the great
5:07
Matt Shachman. Yeah. And
5:09
I was like. Our
5:12
beauty queen legend, dear
5:14
friend Kurt Smith. I can't believe I
5:16
said to say Kurt Smith is my
5:18
dear friend. It's so bizarre. It's so
5:20
bizarre. And I love it. Not that
5:22
weird. All right. This is also that
5:24
means this is like the at least
5:26
hundredth episode of the podcast. Oh, my
5:29
God. I guess you're right about that.
5:31
There's probably it's we've done more because
5:33
we've done some bonus. Yeah,
5:36
it's crazy. All right. Let's let's jump
5:38
in. This plus is the
5:40
hundredth episode. Oh, all
5:43
right. Written by Todd Hart and directed
5:45
by Matt Shachman. Pineapple sighting today. You
5:47
got it for once. I didn't. My God, you
5:50
got it. So tell us if I may
5:52
be so I'm so proud of my forgiveness.
5:55
It could not have been brighter. Like it was like right
5:57
in the middle of shot. It's the the doorbell. Yeah.
6:00
Yes, correct. The doorbell is the shape of
6:02
pineapple. I got something right. He got it.
6:04
I know. We never ever, ever find the
6:06
pineapples. Okay. Here, here goes nothing without
6:08
my glasses. This is going to be fun. All right.
6:11
It's 2007 and Sean and Gus are backstage
6:13
at a Billy Lips and the
6:15
guys behind the concert. Henry's
6:18
also there. I'm sorry. I gotta say
6:20
played really early by the amazing Steve Valentine
6:22
who just acted the shit out of this
6:24
role. He's really great in this.
6:26
Henry's there. He's bringing Billy a beer. The
6:28
second Billy gets off stage. Lassiter is there
6:30
to inform him that the SPP is bringing
6:32
him in for questioning regarding the bird. I need
6:35
to comment on one thing. When
6:38
the boys come burst into the backstage
6:40
green room and James brings
6:42
up rock and the song
6:44
rock and nuts and Dule does this
6:46
hand motion of, of it's
6:50
not okay. Nuts. It's just brilliant
6:53
physical comedy from our proud Dule
6:55
Hill. So good and so
6:57
bad. So bad, but
6:59
so good. So why is the
7:01
SPPD bringing him in for questioning
7:04
regarding the, um, Tim? Oh,
7:06
sorry. Um, someone died. There
7:09
you go. Melinda
7:12
Lane, a woman who was suffocated by a
7:14
pillow in his memoir. Oh, sorry. At his
7:16
mansion and his memoir really magazine. Here we
7:18
go. No glasses at his mansion years ago.
7:20
Billy's biography just came out. Oh, that makes
7:22
sense. And apparently there is information that
7:25
points to Billy being the murderer. But at that
7:27
moment, last year's hair is, I think
7:30
it's great in its most poured
7:33
from out of a cake, a cake
7:35
mold form, which is an homage to the
7:37
great Tim Curry's line in American Duro is
7:39
when he first describes last year's hair as
7:41
being poured from a cake mold. It
7:44
looks fantastic though. I have to say you look
7:46
great. I look so young with
7:48
dark black hair again. So
7:51
Billy's biography came out. There's information. Uh,
7:54
Billy is the murderer.
7:58
And at that moment, that's a good one. Sean
8:00
and Gus urge Billy to somehow exonerate himself.
8:02
Billy has no explanation or
8:05
alibi. He doesn't remember what really
8:07
happened that night. Last night, no
8:09
choice. Recollection. Correct.
8:14
So Lassie arrests him. It's present day at the
8:16
psych office. Sean has been invited to an exclusive
8:18
party via singing telegram,
8:21
which is very random and
8:23
kind of creepy. The party is
8:25
being held at one of Santa Barbara's landmark
8:28
mansions, the Bela Rosa. Sean
8:30
and Juliette agreed to go, even though they have
8:32
no idea what they've been invited to or I'm
8:34
sorry, who invited them or why it's happening. Just
8:36
then, Lassiter ruins the vibe because we're
8:38
supposed to have a good night. And I think
8:40
this was also, I mean, this is, I get
8:43
giddy around parlor games and stuff like this. We
8:45
know with mafia or whatever, this was real. This
8:47
was like Maggie and the same being this excited.
8:49
Lassiter ruins the vibe. I thought of getting to
8:51
go to this party, I mean. Yes.
8:55
Yes. Yes. I don't know what it is. I love a
8:57
mystery and I love a game. It's weird. I
9:00
don't remember who revenue would sell by a further price
9:02
but I really loved this story. We
9:16
had a conversation last night. We
9:18
talked about the times I was on Zoom last
9:20
night. You can't bunk relectric. Oh okay. You couldn't
9:23
Ay The
9:25
director of my business said, it's awesome. Look
9:28
at Cheryl, the one by one by one by one by one
9:30
was of course was an, an,
9:32
an, an odd to Tim Curry
9:34
and clue and we tried
9:37
to get Tim for this episode, but he was
9:39
unavailable. Yeah. So, but goodness
9:41
knows we, we try to get Mr. Curry for this
9:43
one. We got a. Yeah. We
9:46
yeah. So highway Harry, the band's manager, Martin
9:48
Con, oh, Martin Mull, right? We got him
9:51
as well. RIP Martin Mull.
9:53
Our, our, I mean, just our IP Martin
9:56
Mull. June is such
9:58
a like. a
10:00
legendary actor, but also was such a
10:02
nice human. I worked with him
10:05
a couple different show. An OG member of the
10:07
Clue Film cast. An OG member of the Clue
10:09
Film. Just like Lesley Ann Warren, who's already, I
10:11
think, been introduced. Yeah, she's
10:13
the groupie turned nurse. No
10:15
one knows why they've been invited. No
10:19
one knows why they've been invited to the
10:21
mansion until the host reveals himself. It's Billy
10:23
Lips, fresh out of prison, serving a- It's
10:26
a mystery. We
10:29
have lots of new words appearing today. I love
10:31
this. It's our 100th episode. We may as well.
10:33
Mystery. There
10:37
we go. After serving a five
10:39
year stint for the
10:41
voluntary manslaughter of Melinda Lane. Now that Sean knows
10:43
who the host is, Sean starts to realize the
10:45
connection between everyone invited to the party. Sean and
10:47
Gus are excited to see Billy, but they're also
10:50
nervous. They testified at Billy's trial and were a
10:52
part of the reason that he was found guilty.
10:54
But Billy shocks everyone. The other guest
10:57
of course is the iconic
10:59
Chris Lloyd. Yes. Who
11:03
then- Iconic. OG
11:06
Clue film cast member. He's so great.
11:08
Which one of those were like, I
11:10
couldn't believe we got Martin Mall
11:13
and Christopher Lloyd in the same room. Oh, Leon Warren. I
11:16
couldn't believe we got Kurt Smith. I
11:18
was getting, I was about to get to Kurt Smith. I'm
11:20
just reading quickly because I want to get to Kurt's part. It's
11:23
gonna happen for 30 damn minutes. I
11:25
know. I was like- And I did
11:27
make a hell of an entrance. You
11:30
do, but also I was like, do you know
11:32
what's so crazy? This is what's so
11:34
cool about you, Kurt. Is that when
11:36
I think of this episode, like I think of you.
11:38
So I'm like watching and I'm like, where's Kurt? But
11:41
where's Kurt? Where's Kurt? Oh, here he
11:43
is. And then I was like, oh my God, that's so funny.
11:45
Cause I think about a hundred clues. And I just think, I
11:47
was like, I think Kurt Smith. So
11:50
that says a lot about the impact
11:52
you make in the episode and have
11:54
made on all of our lives. It's
11:56
all I think about. I agree. Okay. So Sean
11:59
and Gus are excited. Oh, they're nervous. Right,
12:01
right, right. They're putting together. Um, uh, Billy
12:04
shocks everyone when he reveals the reason he's brought
12:06
them there is to thank them. He says the
12:08
jail changed his life for the better and that
12:10
he has never been happier or more clear. Call
12:12
out Steve Valentine giving this amazing monologue who
12:15
he's so funny in this in front of all
12:17
these comedy legends. Yeah. Which how nerve wracking the
12:19
Westman. I mean, he's a guest runner. He probably
12:21
just showed up the day. He probably just got
12:23
to Vancouver like the day before, if not the
12:25
day of this is probably as
12:28
schedules often go. So probably like his first day working.
12:30
He's so, he's so in it. He's,
12:32
he's so crazy. Great in this role.
12:34
So just then lightning strikes, it causes
12:36
lights in the mansion to go out.
12:38
When they regain power, they realize the
12:40
highway Harry's dad. Sean has a different
12:42
theory. Sean notices that rip
12:45
the guitar players missing from the
12:47
party from this. Sean thinks rip.
12:53
Oh, highway Harry. And that rip is
12:55
somewhere in the house. So Sean, uh,
12:58
posits that rip, uh, killed
13:00
highway Harry because he still rips music
13:02
rights. Everyone in the house grabs some
13:04
form of a weapon and splits up
13:06
to find rip the potential killer later
13:08
that night. Juliette and Lassiter show up
13:10
at the mansion saying the missing person.
13:12
Call out the, um, every time we,
13:14
we, um, the group running very,
13:17
it's just obviously it's, it's an homage
13:19
to again, this is Matt Shaqman genius.
13:22
It's an homage to one of the
13:24
funniest runners in clue or
13:26
just the group running quickly. Yeah. It's so
13:29
silly. We have to call out the guesst
13:31
nickname as well. Domo Arigato, which
13:35
is the greatest, I think. Anyway, so here
13:37
we come. Okay. We arrived to know, uh,
13:40
uh, later that night, Juliette
13:42
and Lassiter show up at
13:44
the mansion saying the missing
13:47
person they've been trying to
13:49
locate has been murdered. Good.
13:52
And that the GPS on his car was headed to the
13:54
location. They entered the mansion and learned that Sean and Gus
13:56
have been investigating. A it's. too
14:00
many. Too many I think like it
14:02
is. It is as well.
14:04
There's just so many in this. So it's like we
14:06
could make it we could make it a new drinking
14:08
game actually for this episode. We would have to
14:11
make our guests would I mean our our friends would
14:13
all have alcohol poisoning. That's true. In
14:15
fact, let me go back a minute. I
14:17
missed we missed a
14:20
double shot of of joy of
14:22
again. It's not doesn't have just to clarify the
14:24
drinking game doesn't have to be alcohol. It could
14:27
be pineapple juice or whatever or it
14:29
could be another shot of coffee whatever did you when
14:31
Sean call when O'Hara calls
14:34
Sean and and last
14:36
year gives him the the bad news that she can't come to the
14:38
party go to the party. I of
14:40
course, I'm in Sapphire bottled bottle bottle blue,
14:43
but you are in a new color. You're
14:46
in a rough color class. You're in the last
14:48
which is of course in the red family. So
14:50
it's part of the Pepto Pink family. So that
14:52
catching up is a double shot for all
14:55
you in by being the
14:57
they're they're just drunk now between
15:00
the murders and the Pepto
15:03
Pink in the Sapphire bottled blue. Okay, so
15:05
they enter the mansion. They learn that Sean
15:07
and Gus. Oh, we did
15:09
that. Their investigation takes a turn when they
15:11
realize that highway Harry's body has gone missing
15:13
and this is and not known
15:15
as he gone missing, but
15:17
Christopher Lloyd lets
15:20
out a a great Scott. He does when
15:22
in realizing that that Martin we
15:25
couldn't bring him up to be a part
15:27
of Clue and not have him do
15:30
something from back to the future. Come on.
15:32
It's like that was so fun. And the fact
15:35
that he was so game to go sure. I'll
15:37
I'll do that. He's the best. We see him
15:39
at conventions all the time. He's so nice. I
15:41
have yet to go up and say like, Hey,
15:43
Chris. I've said hi, but
15:45
like as a fan, I haven't been like, hey,
15:47
we work together. I'm just like, Hi, Maggie. I'm
15:49
over there and I'm a fan. Anyway, all right.
15:51
Let's see this next convention. We're out where he's
15:53
there. We'll say, well, I interrogated
15:58
you. I'm just so excited to meet him again. Yeah.
16:01
Okay. Sorry. He's nice. Okay.
16:03
So Rips dead body has been found in
16:05
the walk-in freezer. Juliet and Lassiter then realized
16:07
the missing person they were looking for is
16:10
Ripp. Lassiter splits everyone up for questioning. You're
16:12
very take charge here, Tim. And everyone is
16:14
interrogated. Lassiter and Juliet say that they, uh,
16:16
the only info they could glean is that
16:18
no one will admit to them. It's
16:22
too much to the murders and that everyone
16:24
is pointing fingers at each other. Additionally, this
16:26
is so silly. I, I, it
16:29
all made me laugh so much. Additionally, everyone mentioned that
16:31
there was a very, a vast amount of dirty laundry,
16:34
uh, aired during Billy's murder trial. It
16:36
turns out everyone involved had some pretty
16:38
damaging things to say about Billy from
16:40
this. Sean realizes that everyone in attendance
16:42
testified at Billy's trial and therefore had
16:45
a hand in putting him behind bars.
16:47
Sean presents a new theory, a
16:50
new theory. He believes Billy has brought
16:53
them all there for revenge. However, his
16:55
theories quickly put to rest when Billy,
16:57
uh, is nearly killed by a falling
17:00
chandelier, whilst performing an impromptu ridiculous
17:03
song. You know, I'm such a creature of
17:05
habit. I don't change up my makeup routine
17:07
at all. It literally probably in a decade
17:09
until I had thrive in my life. I
17:11
was trying all these things. Well, Anton, who
17:13
does my makeup, but when I have events
17:15
and things, Anton Cachatorean, who has been on

19:59
that's... got
26:00
pregnant back when she was the band's groupie. Or
26:03
the gay Snoopy. Or the gay Snoopy. Shawn
26:06
informs the group that, okay, we know this, but since
26:08
none of the men claim to be the father of
26:10
the baby and she couldn't compel them to take a
26:12
paternity test, Leslie Ann was forced to raise the child
26:15
alone without a father. And because of this, she
26:18
decided to seek revenge on everyone who could
26:20
have potentially been the father by inviting them
26:22
to the mansion and killing each of them.
26:24
Leslie Ann says Shawn's theory is incorrect because
26:26
she's known who the baby's
26:28
father is all along. She reveals the baby's
26:30
father is Clisby, but Leslie Ann never told
26:32
Clisby about the baby because she thought the
26:35
band would fire him. And
26:37
then Highway Harry enters the room alive.
26:40
It turns out he was just unconscious
26:42
the whole time and and not actually
26:44
dead. Everyone is mystified. Highway Harry is
26:46
alive and they still haven't figured out
26:48
who the killer is. Juliet presents a
26:50
theory. She thinks that everyone had a
26:53
hand in it equipped with a series of clue related
26:55
flashbacks from the from that
26:57
night. Shawn test the theory by going through each
26:59
suspect one by one by one by one by
27:01
one by one by one by one explaining who
27:04
who killed who and why. But Clisby
27:06
steps in and pokes holes in Shawn's
27:09
theory from this Shawn agrees that
27:11
the everyone everyone did it theory is
27:13
wrong. And he reassesses I have to
27:16
call out one thing because I feel like we went
27:18
over this a while ago or brushed over it a
27:20
while ago. All the singing in
27:22
this Yes, but the suck
27:24
it the perfectly
27:26
harmonized beautiful suck it between
27:29
delay. It was magic
27:33
like that was and they even look around
27:35
nobody nobody's not because it was so frickin
27:37
good. But I don't pop up Sean knows
27:39
that every suspect in that house has been
27:41
eliminated except for three people Clisby Highway Harry
27:44
and Martin. Sean presents the
27:46
following three theories to the group. Was
27:48
it Clisby the butler who did
27:50
it? Was it Highway Harry? The
27:52
band's manager who did it? Or was it
27:54
Martin? The biographer who did it? Clisby was
27:57
actually the real killer. was
28:01
actually the real killer of Melinda. Rip realized
28:03
that all these years- We got the Sean
28:05
Vision of, which was his, how
28:07
did we do that? Oh yes. He
28:10
says, how did we, how did we, he orchestrated
28:12
the massive chandelier falling? Yes. And
28:15
Sean, and Sean Visions, them dancing. We
28:18
have a massive, massive series first here. Oh
28:20
my God. Tell us. So everyone needs, well,
28:23
I can't just, I can just blur it
28:25
out. It's going to cause havoc in- Nahum.
28:29
So kids pull the car over, put
28:31
the treadmill down to a comfortable walking speed,
28:34
climb down off the ladder
28:36
and do all the
28:38
things you need to do. Put the cat down, stop washing the
28:40
cat because it's the
28:42
very first time in the history of the series
28:45
that Sean refers to Gus
28:48
as Burton. Ha
28:51
ha. Really? Yeah. I mean,
28:54
I'm almost positive it's the first real Burton. I don't
28:56
think he's ever, ever referred to him as Burton. He's
29:00
a- It's very formal, well Burton. I'm
29:02
afraid I'm not getting a reading on that right
29:04
now. I love, I love it. I love it.
29:06
All right, everybody go back to your normal activities
29:08
now. All right. Now
29:11
you're gonna buy the cat off because cats don't like
29:13
being wet. Rip realized, wait,
29:15
this is going to be a good one. These years, all these
29:17
years later and came
29:19
back to confront, wait, hold on. Clifsby was
29:21
actually the real killer of Melinda. Rip realized
29:24
this years later and came back to confront
29:27
him, but he was-
29:29
Murdered. As
29:35
well. That was our last one, I think. So
29:38
after the police arrest Clifsby, the
29:40
paramedics arrive to take Kurt Smith
29:42
to the hospital. It's
29:45
gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.
29:47
It's just a flesh wound. Except-
29:50
So we're on the, him on the stretcher in the, in
29:53
the driveway. Yeah. We heard Emma
29:55
the grail, the leopard grail. Paramedic
29:57
runs inside. I'm
30:00
a was a panther. I
30:02
beg my pardon. Emma the
30:04
panther. Emma the panther. Did I say that
30:06
part again? Yeah. That's okay.
30:09
Maybe I went on a horse ride and I'm a drinking wine as well this morning.
30:12
What? I wish. So
30:15
there's just the hint of Kurt
30:18
Smith, our dear friend Kurt Smith, being
30:20
mauled to death, fully
30:23
dead by Emma the panther. You
30:25
basically left me on a driveway,
30:27
on a gurney, with
30:29
a- Strapped down. Strapped down so
30:32
I couldn't escape with a panther
30:35
running freely and all ran
30:37
inside. I cannot believe we did you
30:39
dirty like that Kurt. I can't
30:41
either and I also, it's such a
30:43
trick we play because we're like yay
30:45
Kurt Smith is okay. He's
30:48
going to the hospital. He's going to be treated and
30:50
it's going to be great. It's just a flesh wound.
30:53
Not so fast. It's just a flesh
30:56
wound homage to Monty Python of course. Yes,
30:58
that's right. That's
31:01
what it was. I kept thinking I was like that's not from
31:03
Clue. Yeah, the flesh wound.
31:05
Just the flesh wound. It's just a flesh wound.
31:08
Yeah. All right. So
31:10
okay, we have fairing questions, but that is the actual episode and
31:12
I'm so glad because we can actually just talk to Kurt Smith
31:14
now because Kurt, I'm still stuck on
31:17
Deceptively Heavy. I have
31:19
one beautiful thing I
31:21
noticed. Tell. In the
31:23
credits. Oh yeah. This
31:26
episode is dedicated to the great Madeline Kahn.
31:29
Yeah. From the
31:31
film. And
31:34
also I have to say that
31:36
opening credits were super cool with
31:38
the cards. Yeah. Yeah. Really
31:41
neat. I thought that was cool
31:43
too. All right. So am I tripping or
31:45
did people get to pick different endings of
31:47
this show? They did. So that's
31:49
one of the questions. Yes. How did, first
31:52
of all, this is great. How did the Kurt
31:54
Smith cameo and side plot come to be? We
31:56
missed something kind of important though, Maggie. For
34:00
about six months, my
34:02
morning alarm was the opening guitar riff to
34:04
everybody wants to rule the world. If
34:09
you don't, if you haven't done this, I
34:11
highly recommend it because it's just the most pleasant
34:14
beautiful way to wake up. Oh my God, that's
34:16
so funny. It's strange. We are doing
34:18
an interview the other day about the power of
34:20
music while we were just an interview, but I
34:23
was talking about the power of music and how
34:25
and because that's three notes, basically, I mean, I
34:27
could even pick up guitar and play them too.
34:30
That three notes played in a certain order, at
34:32
a certain rhythm and can change
34:34
your mood entirely. It's,
34:37
it's crazy. Amazing. The music can
34:39
do that. Nothing moves
34:41
really early morning wakeups, extra
34:44
beautiful and special. All right.
34:46
So let's see. We know Tim
34:48
Curry wasn't available. He couldn't come back. Okay.
34:51
Um, you know, actually I think
34:53
in this, I might be speaking out of school,
34:55
but I believe the reason
34:58
he wasn't available. I know
35:00
he was ill at the time. That's what they said.
35:02
He was recovering from that
35:06
thing that happened to me. It was in all the papers. That's
35:09
correct. What, wait, what was that again? Tim
35:13
and I both had strokes, Maggie. Oh,
35:15
right. Oh, I didn't, I
35:17
had no idea. Um, yeah. Uh,
35:19
was he recovering at the time? Is
35:22
that why? I mean, I'm
35:24
just putting two together. I don't know. That's for absolute
35:26
positives. But I know that he was ill and he's
35:28
also a stroke survivor. So I'm thinking it might've been,
35:30
is there
35:32
something about just having the name Tim? It
35:37
could be. I know. I know. I
35:40
really brought it down. Didn't I? No, it's
35:42
okay. It's good though to know. I thought that
35:44
was the reason why too. I couldn't remember.
35:47
Um, all right. So what would be in your
35:49
secret room if you had a
35:51
secret room? Um,
35:55
wasn't this the, was it the episode with
35:58
DC? It's the chocolate.
36:00
room, of course, you know, the chocolate
36:02
room and the chocolate room dance was
36:04
just hilarious. What
36:06
would be in my secret room? I mean, you know, it's going
36:08
to be a guitar, it's going to be pictures,
36:12
photos, memories. I've always wanted
36:14
me and Francis,
36:16
my wife, have a, and
36:18
sort of a, an amusing,
36:20
it's been going on for years of the
36:22
fact that I complain that I don't have
36:24
a shed. A mansion?
36:27
Because every, yeah, because every English
36:29
TV show, like the guy has a shed.
36:31
Yes. The shed that he goes out the
36:33
back to do whatever he does in the
36:35
shed, which could be many different things. In
36:39
fact, even Francis' father had a shed where
36:42
he used to go and just potter around to get
36:44
away from his wife, I think at
36:46
the time from Francis' mother. But I've
36:48
always wanted a shed. Oh,
36:52
that's a, that's fun.
36:55
I want, I want a she shed. Linus
36:58
would be in my private, would be in
37:01
my private room, my secret room, wine, Starbucks
37:05
and music. And
37:08
that'd be my, that's
37:10
kind of what's in my office.
37:12
But anyway, Tim, what
37:15
would be in your secret room? Well, I mean, I
37:17
do have, have a shed. I mean, my back office
37:19
is, which isn't finished yet. Is
37:21
your secret room? Is my, which eventually will
37:23
become my podcast studio once we're
37:25
able to clean it up from years of work. Because I've
37:27
just hoarded it up from all the years of coming
37:30
back, going back forth to psych and I would just sort of shove stuff
37:32
in there. And then it's gotten, it's
37:34
becoming part of a storage rat's nest.
37:37
But I'm still trying to do it, but it's going to be, I
37:41
mean, sort of already there, my whiskey collection and
37:43
a bed for Mabel. Yeah,
37:47
that's what I would have. I love that for
37:49
my doggy. You have rich, many leather
37:51
bound books, which was a rich mahogany. Look
37:55
at this. Look at yourself, Kurt. It's so
37:57
cool. we
40:00
didn't play ball games. I sang
40:02
an Entertain You between one
40:04
take, which I actually did in the in the
40:06
first one as well. You did as well. I
40:08
was definitely not informed at the time because I
40:11
was in my truck or I think I and
40:15
what's the, was it the
40:17
director or the who played guitar with me when
40:19
I was doing it? I played head of the
40:21
hills. Probably Richard Coleman. Probably Richard. Richard, it was
40:23
Richard. Yeah. Yeah, because
40:26
half our crew was in the crew band.
40:28
So I'm, I do remember
40:30
hearing about the concert you gave
40:32
in the music room. It was actually the first
40:34
time during the whole episode that
40:38
Christopher Lloyd actually gave me his attention
40:40
and was smiling. Because
40:43
you know, he's kind of quite withdrawn and quite
40:45
quiet and, you know, kind of. He's
40:48
just like in his own. Yeah, he's in
40:50
his own world, which is, which is wonderful.
40:52
I wish I was in
40:54
my own conventions because yeah, working those
40:57
things are, it was the first time
40:59
I'd seen him kind of looking out
41:01
and like tapping his foot and sort
41:03
of smiling when I was
41:05
singing head of the hills. I made
41:07
Christopher Lloyd smile. That's
41:10
saying something. You, how could he not?
41:13
I would think there'd be something wrong with him
41:15
if he's, if Kurt is playing a concert and
41:17
I was the same. Remember I was getting like,
41:19
I got a text from James and I like,
41:21
it was almost too late. He was like, Kurt's
41:23
playing Kurt's playing. Get in here. And because
41:26
we were in our trailers, Tim, but
41:28
I do remember a coffee run at the time or
41:31
that. Yeah. We just like, we, I feel,
41:34
yes. But, you know, I got
41:36
a happy birthday on there today. You did have a
41:38
happy birthday on that set. Maggie what?
41:41
No, no, it's got a happy birthday song to
41:43
them by Kurt Smith on that set. Maggie. I
41:45
know. I'm so lucky. He also came to my
41:47
birthday party last year. I did.
41:49
Yeah. I carry Oki party.
41:51
We played games. He was.
41:53
I have this great
41:56
picture of Kurt and I cuddling on
41:58
the couch. It's very cute. I have so
42:00
many good pictures from this episode too. I can't wait
42:02
to share. Um, last question besides
42:04
mafia. Did we play any games? Uh, do we play
42:06
any board games like clue? I don't think we ever
42:09
played board games. I'm not going to, it was either
42:11
poker or mafia. Poker mafia. Yeah. But
42:14
then mafia took the place in poker. I think it did. Yeah,
42:17
definitely did. That's it. Those are
42:19
all of our stories and fan
42:21
questions. And my, this year has already been
42:23
made. I
42:26
have a question by the way. And I
42:28
can't remember who was I with that. I
42:31
did a photo shoot and Friday for you
42:33
mentioned you saw it. Um, because we had
42:35
a record coming up, but there was a.
42:37
Someone who was, oh, it was the wardrobe
42:39
lady who's friends with Steve. Frank. So
42:43
she's good friends with him. And
42:45
we were, and she was talking about all the psych episodes I was in
42:47
and everything. She'd seen them all. And
42:50
she was mentioning the pineapple. And
42:52
I'm like, Oh yes, the, you know, the universal fruit of welcome
42:55
machine knows, you know, where it comes from. And
42:57
I was like, no. It was cause
42:59
Steve used to work in the TQ room at
43:01
Disneyland. And I had, I did
43:03
not know that. So
43:05
Steve used to work in the TQ room at
43:08
Disneyland. So pineapples were in, they were on the
43:10
set in psych. The actual pineapple
43:12
runner was born out of an improv
43:14
on the pilot. The G. That
43:19
episode we don't talk about that, that
43:21
where he just like at the end of
43:23
a scene saw a pineapple cause Steve, they
43:25
were in on the set because of Steve,
43:28
but James was the one who chose to like, say, should
43:30
I slice this up for the road? And then every episode
43:33
since there has either been a pineapple. I
43:36
think that's right. That's right. Sean
43:40
2.0 was a lamp. I remember
43:43
that one. Yeah. Yeah. That's right.
43:46
Oh man. Anyway. Um, wow.
43:48
This was the most special.
43:50
Again, I don't remember anything other
43:52
than the birthday song. So I think it was
43:54
a really good episode of the pod. Um,
43:57
I just don't. I'm
44:00
still over here in sort
44:03
of. I'll tell you this, it's the only moment of this last
44:05
45 minutes or
44:07
half along the subcidus that made you tear up. It
44:10
did. I had real tears.
44:12
Those were real tears. I
44:14
was like, what is happening right now? I just want to
44:16
reach through the computer
44:18
and hug you both because today
44:20
has been so special. Today has
44:22
been, these
44:24
two handsome men on this pod have
44:27
made my birthday. I got a trail
44:29
ride with a wine tasting and then
44:31
Kurt Smith saying serenaded me with a
44:34
happy birthday song. Like I'm done, I'm
44:36
done. You can have a
44:38
nap. You can have a nap. You ended that particular number
44:40
year really damn well, Maggie. I
44:42
what? You ended that
44:45
number year really well. Yeah, yeah,
44:47
yeah. We're not discussing what
44:49
number year it is. Actually, no, I'm going to
44:51
say you've already ended it because it's passion for
44:53
that. You are starting off this.
44:56
And I already told you, I've told
44:58
you, I've texted you 17 times in the last 48 hours. You
45:00
sure have. How about you sure have?
45:03

45:05
me. No, I'm just kidding. I like, you
45:07

45:13

45:18
much. It's actually great. Look, it's so great that
45:20
look who wants to say hi. Come.
45:23
Well, the overall theme has been how, oh,

45:31
coming is going to be for you. Going
45:33

45:36
have no problem saying it. I'm like, I
45:38
don't even know how it happened, but it's
45:40
here. You are. Okay, but this is the
45:43
influence that Maggie lost when I saw you. I
45:46
am looking, I was looking up angel numbers and
45:48
setting her info about the numerology
45:50
of 44. What have I
45:52
done to you? What
45:54
have I done to you? You were sending me
45:56
that stuff. And I was like, I
45:59
haven't even. you all
46:01
of my numerology or my
46:03
number updates since I've been here and
46:05
you were already sending me like the
46:08
meaning of. Yeah, before you sent me
46:10
your, your, your room number numerology, I'd
46:12
send you your, your birthday number. Yeah.
46:14

46:16
most beautiful voice message, voice note about
46:19

46:34
look younger than both of us. Um,
46:36

47:03
special this day special. I'm just, I'm

47:12
the wine, go find your glasses. I got
