You are listening to the Next Best Picture podcast,

and these are Will Madity's interviews with two of the stars from Ted Lassow,

Jeremy Swift and Bill Gunstein.

Okay, so Jeremy, I was watching episode episode six of this season, Sunflower, and I see you get up on the

stage, and my first thought is, oh, it looks like he's actually playing. So I did a quick Google just to see,

do you actually play? And lo and behold, you are an established established musician so i would love to know all about

the background of this jazz sequence moment this season coming to be kind of your influence on

creating that scene and hear a little bit about your career as a musician. All right. Sure. Well, of course I did play in, what was it, episode 8 or 9 in the first season,

but I was playing on my own and they kind of cut it together. It made no sense at all.

I wish I'd just done a sort of track actually. So but yeah

and then I played in the second season only I didn't have um a pickup so you couldn't hear

me at all. So yeah so but you know the the the creatives knew that I did play the bass and

sort of incorporated that from the outset sort of thing.

But yeah, Sunflowers was a little moment to show it off a little bit more, yeah, which was great fun.

And I'm very appreciative of Brendan Hunt for writing that episode.

And it hangs in with, you know, the theme.

It's so clever of the writers. What a track to use, let's get lost.

And, you know, and sort of find yourself again, ostensibly.

But, you know, Brendan lived, as you may or may not know,

lived in Amsterdam for a long time.

And, you know, he did frequent.

In fact, he took us to a jazz club whilst we were there.
