It's the scandal rewatch podcast show With the Lerode Diaz and Katie flows

Are you home?

You're home now, right, Katie? Oh, yeah. Do you start, you start shooting on Thursday?

Tomorrow I take the plane. Oh. I take the plane and I take the plane across the country to Shawl at North Carolina. And then I go and I quickly drive and they dye my gray hair. Oh, shit. And then I go to sleepseys. I wake up 5 o'clock at the morning and I shoot all day in a church because I'm the preacher's wife. Wait, but tomorrow's Wednesday, right? Or today's Wednesday? Oh, today is Wednesday. No, today's Tuesday. So I fly Wednesday, I shoot Thursday. Gotcha, gotcha.

You shoot Thursday.

This episode is insane. Yeah. This is where we fuck on the table. Yeah. It is. D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D. Top Berica always loved it with your pants around your ankles. Doggy style. But we wouldn't have wanted to wrap up season three with anyone other than the famous Leo Bergen.

The one and only. I loved that guy. Hi. What a poll. Thank you. He was so fun to play. We love you, Paul. Adelstein. Thank you for being on the podcast. Favorite Leo Bergen line of all time? Do you remember it? Give me another hit of that bourbon and I'll touch your boob, I think, was one of them. That's great. That's good. And then in that very first monologue, there was something about it. It smells like failure. It smells like Nixon in 72. It was, I don't remember exactly what it was. That scene is incredible when you're like, nope, I won't work with the president of the United States because he's going to lose. And I don't work with losers. Yeah, yeah, a loser. Yeah, good. Wow. Paul's setup is like fucking, oh, because you're a musician. That's right. I admire that. I love people that play instruments. I can't play shit. I love it. You literally can play instruments and read music. Also, I'm doing a podcast, but yeah, I'm a musician. Oh, you are? Yeah, yeah. What is? What is? It's the prison break rewatch. Which actually, we can talk about it during a thing, but I was like, I haven't watched prison break in a hundred years, but like there are so many similarities. Really? Yeah, which I didn't even at the time notice. First of all, we can talk about it if it's interesting to talk about, but like prison break and 24 felt like prison break came right after 24, like a couple years later. It was the first time that they did that, just the level of twists and turns.

Yeah.

Like the intensity of the act break to act break action is insane.

Whiplash.

Whiplash.

How fucking cool.

Leo Bargan, Leo Barfin.

Leo Bergen is one of my all-time favorite television characters, period.

He's the best.

He doesn't even have to be in the scandal verse.

Like, he is such a, oh my God.

I think we all have.

I remember you coming on set and being so excited because you're just so sparky and

excited and just cocky, like your character is so cocky. It's so much fun to watch. I love that
