I went there for the filming of that. And I mean, I completely agree. And I went there for the filming of it. I remember it was only, they only did, we only did two takes, I believe, of that big, the big walk, not the conversation with Bill, but the big walk in and the reaction to Milo. I think it was two takes. And I was like, oh, that's that's the best thing in the show.

And that's going to be like an iconic moment of television. Like I was like, that's really crazy. And it's just all just it's a single shot on Mandy. I mean, it's just like literally just her up against the doorframe. And I was like, oh, that's unbelievable. I remember realizing in a real time. And I remember I'd driven down to that hospital and I was like, it was so intense.

I think also one of the, like, the theoretical things about this being the Super Bowl and on the Super Bowl and then I really wanted the Super Bowl was, like, in a family drama that doesn't have a lot of, like, it's not like a whodunit, right? Yeah. I was like, the death of the patriarch in that moment for Mandy, that's our Super Bowl. Right. It doesn't get any bigger than that. Right.

It's like, um, we kind of have a lot in the new project we're doing, but John Rico always says it was his like life at full volume was an expression he always used that I liked and I've used, I've stolen from him. I was like, that's it. That's one of the, that's this fan for, you know, man, that's the moment that will forever be the most, the biggest moment in their life. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, for me, I was, so like, you know, you use your experience and I was, my mom passed away when I was like 30. But she had a surgery that wasn't supposed to be life-threatening and it went backwards, sideways. And she was in the ICU for a couple of days, but never woke up from the surgery.

And I kind of stayed vigil at the hospital for like three or four days, like playing martyr, refusing to leave, sleeping there, eating there. And it was a surgery I'd arranged. It was a whole horror show. But it was like two o'clock in the morning and I had the experience of like just being woken up by her doctor, shaking my shoulder as I slept on a couch in the ICU, telling me she was gone.
