| 0:00.0 | Aaron. How you doing Rob? It's Robby Low. How are you? Good. It's good to talk to you. I'm so excited. |
| 0:19.7 | Welcome to the podcast. The great Aaron Sorkin is my guest. And you know, in a career, there are |
| 0:28.3 | certain people who are so important to you both as, you know, an actor, artist, whatever you are, |
| 0:38.4 | and just as a person. And Aaron is one of those people for me. Aaron changed my life, changed my |
| 0:43.2 | career. And I remember the very first time I was ever aware of him. I read a screenplay called |
| 0:50.8 | Malice. I wanted to play the part because the dialogue was so insanely good. Of course, the part |
| 0:57.3 | went to Alec Baldwin. But I never forgot the name Aaron Sorkin. And then one day my agent, |
| 1:05.4 | I told them I might want to do television. It was back in the days when you just did not do |
| 1:10.8 | television. Of course, it was a lesser industry. And they sent me a script called The West Wing. And I |
| 1:19.6 | thought it was an offshoot of Pensacola Wings of Gold. I thought it might be about a fighter jet squadron. |
| 1:26.5 | It wasn't. And I opened the page up and saw The West Wing written by Aaron Sorkin. |
| 1:34.4 | And I knew what I was in for. And on the first page was Vintage Aaron Sorkin and a character named |
| 1:42.4 | Sam Seaborne. I don't think we're going to run the table. That's right. It's not the background. |
| 1:48.1 | I'm not going to come close to using your name. I'm not going to come close to getting a quote either. |
| 1:51.9 | Why are we sitting here? You sat down. Is Josh on his way out? No. Is he? No. I know he's your friend. |
| 1:58.8 | He is. Did Caldwell say I'm not talking about this. Who do I call? No one. Just tell me who to call. |
| 2:04.2 | Well, you could call 1-800-Bike-May Sam. We've just reunited to do the long anticipated, |
| 2:11.6 | much talked about, much questioned West Wing reunion, which it took a very good cause. |
| 2:19.6 | When we vote, the bipartisan effort to get everybody out to do their constitutional duty, |
| 2:26.7 | that seemed like a good excuse to put all the people back on the field and see if we still |
| 2:32.0 | knew how to play the music. And I think we did well. And I think you're going to like it. And |
| 2:38.0 | it is out today on HBO Max. If you've wanted more West Wing, we've got you covered as long as you vote. |
