Chapter 2: How do the hosts feel about their upcoming Netflix series?
Yeah, Bert would learn his lines.
I learned my lines. I learned my lines.
We would run them.
I also wrote the scripts. Yeah. So like, or helped write the scripts.
Okay, you're a writer.
No, but I'd learn the lines on set.
Yeah.
I'd learn it, we'd all sit around and run them. It's fun. And then I would casually, I can't figure out a scene. I don't know what I'm supposed to say. If you said, like, deliver your lines, I can't do it like this, like this, like this. But if you go, you're gonna post up back here, and then the next line's gonna get you to go up here. You need the movement. Yeah, I need the movement.
That's why I had such a difficult time in the apology scene when it's me and you.

Chapter 3: What insights do the hosts share about their characters?
It was at the school. But which one was it?
I was so excited that I messed up. Which one was it? It was when I meet you in the hallway.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a fun one. And there was something I was getting tongue-tied on, but Burt was so excited that I had to take, like, three takes for that. Oh, my gosh.
I loved it. I like, you know... I want to watch, if I work with De Niro, I want to see him fuck up a bunch.
Yeah, dude. I'm sorry, are you calling me De Niro? I heard it.
If I work with a De Niro.
I heard it, I heard it.
If I work with a De Niro, it's, can I tell you, like, I came out and I was like, I was like, it was so fun, but you never know if it's gonna be good. And right now, the show's aired, and I hope people enjoyed it. We're probably a week in. I hope people are enjoying it, but it's interesting.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts reflect on their acting experiences?
A toast.
We've got Arden, Mandel, and my wife Leanne.
The executive producer and the two stars of the show. Oh, and two Leannes. Amazing.
Do you always have champagne? Because this is my favorite. I mean, I'm so excited.
Leanne's a big champ. We keep it on lock, yeah.
Another reason why I like Leanne.
Another reason. Let's play a game. Say a name that's a little obscure that not everyone's going to get, but the person listening is definitely going to get it.
Okay.
that you hope that this shows a hit, and that person that you dated in your past sees this and goes, man, I fucked up.

Chapter 5: What challenges do actors face when feeling unwell on set?
When it was over, he had massively, it was.
He doubted himself over and over and over again. And so he was so sick that day. I went over to him and I was like, you did such an amazing job on that golf course. And he just, when he threw a line in, He just showed up in the biggest and best way.
Because in this job, that's the thing. Some people don't understand, not that acting is super hard, but the one thing is you can't really be sick. You have to show up. There's no one that can work in your place. You already started. You've already been established. Yeah.
For the next 25 days, my schedule is absolutely chaotic. And I love to be on the road and I love to cook on the bus. I love to take time to pull the grill out, make a few steaks. I just don't have time to do it. And I want to eat better. I feel like obviously health is at the very front of what I'm paying attention to.
And if you want to eat better, like I do, and you have zero time, like I do, and zero energy to make it happen, like I do, Factor doesn't ask you to meal prep or follow recipes.

Chapter 8: How does the cast bond during the filming process?
How good was he grounding I've known him since I was nine. What's his real name? Yeah, Arden has like a whole history with him. Robert Mello. He was like an adult when I was like a teenager doing improv in Chicago. And he was always nice to me. And he was so grateful to be there. And he was so funny and gentle
And like his energy in the big, because he always had group scenes and until he was alone with you and then alone with me at the end, like his humanity and humor, he was so, such a funny instrument in the orchestra to add into this madness.
And do you remember also he was an acting coach? We could be like, you could be like, did you want to give me any notes on the way? And he was sort of like... I mean, where do I start? You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, how much time do you have?
Can I tell you the best part? We did our one scene together where it's like... I sit down with him and it's our moment together. And he was, by the way, I really hope at this point in this show that you're really into Free Bird. Because if not, this is like tedious for you. You're like, wow, I'm watching the director's cut.
Then you should pause Something's Burning, go watch Free Bird, and then come back. I heard my woman.
So we go and we do a scene. You know, also, I gotta be fair to myself in that if any casting director hears this, I'm not just a difficult to work with, is I had, I was in every scene. Yeah. For me to work on every scene every night.
You weren't difficult to work with.
No, no, no. I'm saying like that I would show up what would someone call it, unprepared?
No, no, no. But you were sweet and willing to run it. You were always ready when we went. You were in the writer's room.
