0:00.0 | My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future. |
0:04.5 | But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show. |
0:10.1 | And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it. |
0:12.6 | And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth. |
0:18.1 | And why John Carpenter movies are so good. |
0:20.6 | You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about. |
0:26.6 | And that's fine, you know, no judgment. |
0:28.4 | But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. |
0:58.4 | The podcast and that's what you really missed brings you back to the choir room for a gloriously gleeky rewatch of all six masterfully musical seasons of Glee. |
1:19.4 | Join cast members Kevin MacKale and Jenna Uschkewitz for never before heard stories from the cast, crew, celebrities and you, the fans from McKinley High to New York City, from the choir room to nationals and from the Super Bowl to a world tour. |
1:32.9 | Listen to and that's what you really missed on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. |
1:39.4 | And I had to leave at 925 and I remember I'd gone out the night before and I kept pressing snooze and I remember thinking, you know what Leo, if you can't get up, if you can't get your ass up and go to school for the reason why you left everything in Australia, because you're too busy going out and partying or doing, you know, trying to experience this other side of New York, not the real reason why you've come here. |
2:06.4 | Then you just accept it for the next month, you go, you party your balls off, you do it and then you get on a plane and you go back to Australia or you make the decision and you make the choice now that you show up for yourself, you show up for what you came here to do, you give it your all and then you see what happens. |
2:25.4 | And that really was the moment that really changed my life. |
2:29.4 | Hey guys, I'm Leonardo Named. I currently have a show called Maggie on Hulu, but you may know me from things like Westworld or Sister of the Travelling Pants or my first movie, The Perfect Score. |
2:49.4 | Hello everybody and welcome to a brand spanking new episode of Off the Beat and would you look at that. It's me, your host, Brian Baumgartner. |
3:07.4 | Today, as you just heard, we are going to be speaking to the truly amazing Leonardo Named. Now, you may know Leo as Westworld employee Felix Lutz or currently as Dave on Hulu's new hit comedy Maggie. |
3:27.4 | Now, so interesting about Leo, he was so sure that he wanted to be an actor that he traveled across the world literally to sleep on a bench in Central Park. |
3:40.4 | That's right, New York, concrete jungle, where dreams are made of. That is where he got his start. |
3:48.4 | And now he's been on so many incredible TV shows and movies after starting performing Shakespeare in Shakespeare in the park where he slept originally. |
3:59.4 | He's gone on to star in the perfect score, the fast and the furious sisterhood of the traveling pants, even where he was cast originally by the office's Ken Quappas. |
4:12.4 | And I'm told that some of you may be excited to know that he was once featured in Steve Aoki's music video with BTS. |
