What inspired the re-release of this episode?
Greetings and salutations. That was us, subscribers, listeners, watchers. It's your boy, Sterling K. Brown. I hope you guys are having a wonderful holiday season. And I'm going to give you a little treat. Got a little re-watch podcast, re-listen podcast coming your way. One of my favorite episodes up to date. And that was the episode with my TV wife, Susan Kelechi Watson. Beth in the house for a whole episode, just catching up on all things Beth and Randall and Sue. We had a wonderful conversation. We had a lot of laughs during this whole thing. We talked a little bit about how Sue and I knew each other before the show started, because we both went to NYU. We talked about how we were able to build on that knowledge and turn that relationship into the wonderful relationship that you see on screen with Randall and Beth. She talked a lot about representing Black women on screen, talked about her hair and how sort of awesome and inspiring it was for her to be able to wear her natural hair. and change it up week in, week out on the episodes.
Thank you.
If someone had told Charles and Melanie that after their Tinder match, they would start a channel with crazy tasks together. So really crazy. Spend five days on a lonely island, crawl down a zip line on a belt, crack one million views, climb a wall with a lot of buttons and jump off a parachute in Egypt? They would never have believed that. But that's the thing with Tinder. It takes you to places you would never have expected. Wherever it takes you. It starts with a swipe. Tinder.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're back. That was us, your host, Mandy Moore, Christopher Sullivan, myself, Sterling Brown. And we have a special guest in the house today.
Ladies and gentlemen, Susan Kalenji-Watson.
What up, Sue?
What up, y'all? How you doing? I'm great. This is awesome, y'all.
Listen, we're lucky to have her right now. First of all, tell folks why you in L.A. right now. Sue lives in New York full time, but she's in L.A. What you working on? What you doing? What you got?
I am basically stalking you because I just stay across the street while you shoot your series at Paramount. I'm just waiting for you to come out the gate. What's your show?
Sterling!
I'm doing The Residence.
Doing The Residence.
For Netflix, yeah.
Netflix and Shondaland. That's right. That's right. You want to tell them a little bit about your part and what the show is about?
Sure.
Or is there secrets? Do you have to keep it a secret?
No, there's no secrets. Thank God.
I'm not keeping no more secrets. We know a little something about keeping secrets.
Yes, we do very much. No, this show, I think it's out in the open, but there is a big secret. Okay. Because it's a who has done this. The old, who has done this? Not a who done it. Who has done this? Shout out to Andre Brower, who I think originated that line. But it's, yeah, it's a murder mystery, whodunit, set in the White House among the resident staff of the White House. Okay. So, you know, it's not the president. Not the political arm. Exactly. It's not the West Wing.
Right.
We would be the basement.
Okay.
The mezzanine. It's an upstairs, downstairs sort of thing?
It is kind of an upstairs.
Like Downton feeling to it? It's a bit of... I think so. You know, I think about that a bit because so much of, you know, what Downton was about had so much of the people who worked there. But this is all about them. And a murder happens among them. And everybody's a suspect.
Wow. Is law enforcement coming to it or are you guys sort of figuring it out?
Yes, law enforcement comes into it in the form of Uzo Aduba.
Okay. Heavy hitters.
Yeah. If you have any theme music, just lay it in there. I just want to let y'all know what it is. Yeah, there we go.
You happy? You feeling good? You're pleased with the work?
It's fun. It's so fun. It's so... I mean, I'm really, it feels quite like a blessing and very fortunate to go from one really stellar cast into another cast that is so talented. And like, there's these big scenes that kind of remind me of like when we would all be at the end of season six and there was like 18 of us in the room while Randy's in the back room.
