Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is he said, a Yaviho with Eric Winter and
Rodlin Fantas. Okay, welcome to another episode of he said,
he said, And my wife is gone. It's it's gonna
be a long month rolling solo again. She's off doing
a movie in Spain, but she's happy. It's a fun
comedy in English that is shooting in bill Bao, Spain.
(00:26):
Think we talked about a little bit last episode, but
wild Time's over here. I got my hands full with
work with the kids. A lot of good stuff going on.
You know, listen, I want to again thank everybody for
all the Palm Republic support. It's been ongoing NonStop. We
got another great accolade. You know, these these spirit competitions,
(00:48):
you know, they don't always you know, define success in
this business, but it again speaks to the success of
the product. And I'm so happy to announce that we
got platinum metals for both our silver and our AIG
drum at the Las Vegas Spirits competition. We got best
in class for both of them, a ninety eight out
of one hundred review for our silver and a ninety
seven out of one hundred for our aged. So again,
(01:10):
the product just keeps standing out, which I love. Trying
to bring RUM to a new level, really elevated in
the space, change people's minds about what RUM is and
what they think it is. We're trying to lead that charge,
so I'm very pumped about that. To can you to
build on Palm's success, I'll be in Florida for anterview
on the East Coast. We'll be announcing more on my socials,
(01:31):
but I'll be doing some meet and greets bottle signings
at Total Wines two different locations in the Miami and
Greater area middle of November. I can give you the
exact date now, but again look at my socials, it
will be November twenty third. I would love to see
anybody that can come out and just have a chat, meet,
(01:53):
get some bottles and come hang with me. I'm looking
I'm looking forward to meeting everybody. So that's what's basically
been going on on my end. We're full deep in
the Rookie and filming about more than halfway through season
seven and it's scaring up people. Literally one of my
favorite seasons so far. I can't wait to share with everybody,
and I know that that actually ties into one of
(02:14):
our listener questions, which was described season seven in three words,
Leah and Yeah. I get asked this question a lot.
It's so difficult to really give three consistent words because
I really think that's what makes our show so special
as we stand out on so many different levels. But
I'll go with action, drama, and sexy. I'm going to
(02:36):
go with those three words for season seven. It's really
it's a fun, fun season at Yarra. This is from
the Netherlands, which I love. Do I see myself staying
on the Rookie until it ends or I leave for
another acting opportunity. Those are always great questions, you know,
And I'll tell you the truth. For me, I absolutely
love the Rookie. I love our family. I will ride
(02:57):
this train as long as it'll take us. But this
is a This is a common issue with a lot
of actors. You know, people get people tend to get
bored on a project after you know, years and years
are bored with playing the character. And there are a
lot of challenges when it comes to staying on a
show for long periods of time for a lot of actors.
But I tell you, I'm so blessed to be playing
(03:18):
a character like Tim Bradford where every season, I don't
know what I'm gonna get. I'm always guessing. It's it's fun,
it's creatively stimulating, and I think our show just continues
to expand and grow in every way possible each and
every season. So I love being a part of this family. Also,
I absolutely care deeply about all my cast mates, and
I love going to work every day, which is a
(03:39):
huge thing. So I will absolutely be on the show
till it till it, you know, the wheels fall off,
so you can count on Bradford being present, and I
think most of us feel that way, to be honest,
we really want this show to succeed as long as
it can. At Ella fairbrother, what is your favorite song
or genre of music? That's a great question. You know,
(04:01):
I am very tricky when it comes to music. I
love everything, that's my problem, but I would probably go
with If I was to go with a genre, I
would probably go with the eighties. I really love the
eighties in general, not just uh, you know, traditional eighties,
but I mean like glam rock. My first concert ever
(04:22):
was you know, bon Jovi and skid Row, and I
love Poison and all those guys. I mean I love
the eighties rock and I love just eighties in general.
But then I also go big, you know, and I
really think about the nineties and all the rap scene
when I was at that stage and even after that.
I so I'm big in all those areas. The one area,
and I'd said this before that I was never huge
(04:43):
on was country music, but I've gotten more into it
later in life with certain artists. Certain artists have definitely
I'm all in for those. Let's see, is there a
perk you enjoy with being famous? That's a that's a
great question from Lexi Morgan. Listen. There are you know,
pluses and minuses too, I guess being famous in that regard,
(05:07):
I would say my biggest, you know, perk is we
have a nice, you know connection with Disneyland because of
being on an ABC show. So to me, that is
something that is I definitely definitely enjoy about, I guess
a perk of being on a show like this. But honestly,
I take it all in stride. I don't really let
most you know, anything get to my head. I don't.
I really have been the same person through and through
(05:29):
since before I got in this business. While being in
this business, I feel like I have a very level
headed way of thinking about this business. I just enjoy
what comes my way, and I'm happy to meet people
and fans, and if people love the show and love
what I'm doing, it makes me happy. So that's that's
where I'm at with that. I don't think there's any
other single perk that I would jump out and say.
(05:51):
At Amelia lund Vaul, what is your favorite thing about
being married to Roz? Wow, there's not just one, but
I would say three things that stand out in my
mind are our laughs, our support and love. You know,
I love being loved by her and having her by
(06:12):
my side, But I think our support for one another
and what we try to accomplish and working together is
one thing I truly appreciate. And I think our laughs
are when we laugh, we laugh deep and strong and
we have a great time. So I think constantly being
there for each other and having those moments always stands
out to me as some of my favorite things about
(06:35):
marriage and marriage to her in particular. At L Williams,
if you could return to one moment of your life,
what would it be? Hmm, that's a really tough one
singular moment. I don't think there is one. But moments
that stand out to me in a big way are marriage,
(07:00):
the wedding with Roz, and also the birth of both
of my children. Being there and trying to be even
more present in those moments would be a great thing
to go back and have. I was very present. I
was there for both and I was taking it all in.
But it all happens fast, and it's overwhelming. And any
(07:20):
of you who are you married or have kids, you
get it. You know. The wedding night is a blur.
Everything is so quick, and you're just you're constantly worried
about what everybody else is feeling and doing and making
sure everything's going smooth. And it's hard to fully be
in the moment. And even though I tell myself that
all the time, like I was trying to be in
the moment, it's you know, I wish I could have
(07:41):
some of that back. But that would probably be the
three things that would jump out if I was to
think about it. I have so many great, you know,
childhood memories as well, but honestly, as as I get older,
I just appreciate these moments with my kids and all that,
as you know, as much as I can next question,
(08:01):
do I have any fears? We lou Do I have
any fears? You know, this is going to go back
to probably I don't have, like I would say, fears
of anything that I could define as being truly that.
But I would say, look in our business, I don't
fear it. But there's always concern, right that you want
to stay active, you want to keep working, you want
(08:22):
to be able to provide for your family. It's a
very unstable business. So I always have a little bit
of a concern that sits with me in the entertainment
space because it's just natural. But I try to just
ground it with trust and hard work, and which is
why I also pursue with so many other things. You know,
I don't want to just be a one trick pony.
I want to be a businessman and I want to
build things that will last, so I don't have to
(08:43):
just rely on the next job, you know, the next
acting gig, So that would be probably a concern. And
then also, you know, once you're a parent, I feel
like you spend so many hours and so much time
just always worrying about that your kids are okay, and
your kids are healthy and they're good and they're happy
and life is treating them the best it can and
that they're learning how to navigate it. It's it's like
(09:03):
I say, I always say, it's the most rewarding, the
most difficult thing being a parent, because there's just so
many aspects to when you feel successful as a parent,
when you feel like you fail. I feel like I
fail as a parent all the time. Uh, the way
I handle situations, the way I you know, speak to
my kids at time when I lose my patients, and
then I feel like I have a lot of wins.
(09:23):
So a lot of that all falls into my fears
and concerns about them just growing up and evolving to
be great humans and being able to tackle this world
in a successful way, you know, especially with my daughter
going into junior you know, in junior high now and
going to be, you know, just two years away from
high school, and so many things are coming her her
direction that I went through and obviously is natural and
(09:45):
normal for her to go through, and I just want
the best for her in these crazy times that she
keeps her head on her shoulders and and continues to
work hard and stays focused and try and keep her
out of any kind of trouble or anybody trying to
get her into trouble, because that was a lot for
me toavigate as well as a kid. So those would
probably be me my concerns. I wouldn't call them fears,
but just things that I'm always paying attention to at
(10:16):
Cathathum for it seems that there is a lot on
your plate. How do you manage things from becoming overwhelming?
Great question? There is a lot on my place, is funny.
I was thinking about it the other day and I
was talking at work about it. It's a lot to juggle.
I do like to be busy, which is a big
part of how I just keep it from being overwhelming.
But there are many, many moments where I come home
(10:38):
and I just feel completely overwhelmed, after filming all day,
having to learn lines for the next day, dealing with
power Republic all day long, coming home to both kids,
trying to be present, especially if my wife is gone,
and then trying to be present as a husband and
talk to her as much as possible. And yeah, I'm
thank god I have an amazing support system around me,
But I do find myself feeling overwhelmed at times, and
(11:00):
I just try to breathe, brace myself, understand that, and
I've had things fall through the cracks, make mistakes and
trying to be hard on myself and trying to take
any of these frustrations out on the kids because that's
so you know, it happens so easily sometimes where you
just you're on edge because you're juggling so much, and
then you might snap. You might get upset about something
that's silly or stupid, you know. So I would say,
(11:23):
I just try to balance it all in stride, except
when something's not going to go my way. I can't
make every single thing, but I try to do my
very best, and that's it. Just trying to balance and
put pieces in place. That's one of the things I
do love about being busy. I like putting in pieces
in order to make everything flow. It's a very rewarding
feeling accomplishing a crazy day and having it all go smooth,
(11:48):
which doesn't always happen. At az A, one of all
of the characters you played, which one you think would
get along with Tim the best and be and be friends.
I've never thought about that. Most of the characters I
played I've been they'd been jerks and I don't think
Tim would stand for any of it. If I really
think about a lot of my my you know characters. Obviously,
(12:08):
you know, not every character is bad. But I would
say I did this movie Fire with Fire with Josh
du mallin Rosari Dawson, and this is my character. It
was not a huge role in the movie, but he
was a firefighter, a good friend. I think that's somebody
that Tim would get along with for sure. They'd probably
talk a lot of trash to each other and be
on the opposite ends of like the fire department versus
the police department in different you know, sporting events and
(12:30):
stuff like that. So I'd say that's a character and
maybe even which most people I've never seen. But the
my Viva Laughlin character, Craig Oloff, no, that was that
was a mentalist. Viva Laughlin's character. I can't think of
his actual the actual character name, but he was a detective, quirky,
kind of funny. Tim might find him a little annoying
at times, but I bet you they would eventually get
(12:52):
along and have a good time. Otherwise, I think most
of my characters would were just either like I I
go to the ugly truth, the character was a little soft.
I think Tim would get annoyed with him, and I
think the other guys have been douches or bad guys
or jerks. Maybe the Rosewood character was a cool character too.
The Tim would like Savanta on uh. I don't want
to say this from Germany wants to know if you
(13:14):
have any regrets or do you think it's okay for
people to have them or should they dwell they should
they not dwell on them? Listen, I have a bunch
of regrets, and like you know, I think about them
all the time, but I try not to dwell on them.
I guess that's the thing. I think it's I'd be
lying if I said I didn't dwell a little bit
on things. I that's something I definitely work at. I
(13:34):
can hold a grudge at times too. I try not to,
but I have so many regrets in the way I've
handled certain moments in my life, or certain career decisions
or even investment decisions choices, stuff like that. But you know,
I definitely have gotten much better at trying to move on.
I think you have to be able to forgive yourself
and understand nobody's perfect and it's okay I think to
(13:56):
dwell on it for a minute so you can try
to really learn about it, and longer than a minute, obviously,
but just for a period of time so you can
try and learn from whatever your mistake was or your
current regret is. But you have to be able to
move past it. Otherwise you're just going to be a
ship that sinks and it's going to eat you alive.
And I've been in those moments. I've been in those
moments where things eat me alive for way too long
(14:18):
and it causes so much additional stress. So to you
who asked the question, I really hope if you have
any regrets right now, that you are trying to move
past them and look on too, the next chapter, the
next step in what you're trying to accomplish. Let's see
this one lb tis Tiszam. I'm not trying to say
this one either. Does the life you have now exceed
(14:39):
any expectations you had as a kid for your life? Wow,
it definitely does. Listen on. My journey was not linear
by any means. My wife always knew she wanted to
be in entertainment. We've talked about this before. I jumped
all over the place. I wanted to be a football player.
Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. When I got
into college, then I decided I wanted to be a doctor.
(15:00):
And that's when I started school at UCLA, and I
wasn't in med school but just pre med, and I
was all over the place. Then I decided, Okay, somebody
told me to be a model. I said, okay, I'll
try and be a model. I was doing that for
a while, had some success. Then I said, oh, let's
try and be an actor. Did that for a minute,
had zero success, was struggling for a long time. Was
never taken serious, I guess because I came from this
modeling world and I was like, oh, he can't really act, he's,
(15:22):
you know, a model, and was constantly having to prove
myself and I never really saw my life going completely
the direction that it's in. And at some point I
obviously was all in on the acting and kept working
at it and studying and never quitting, and I got
to where I'm at so absolutely it succeeded my expectations.
(15:44):
And as a kid, I never I was so shy
in front of people, and not in my friend group.
I was always very loud, and outgoing, but speaking in
front of people, acting in front of people, doing any
of that kind of stuff, I was not good, not
good at all. So I would never thought this would
have been my future because I just I was never
great in front of in front of a crowd that
(16:05):
I didn't know. But you put me in from my friends,
I'll be a clown. So it definitely has exceeded where
I thought i'd be, just building the future that I've
built for sure. At Zadi, what is the funniest scene
you have filmed on the Rookie? Wow, that's a hard one.
(16:26):
We had a lot of funny scenes, and Tim has
so many just funny moments that I think come to mind.
But I would say that the double prank when Lucy
got nailed with the the little trash can bomb that
put powder all over her face, and then she reversed
it back to Tim and got him with the gift box.
That was pretty funny, especially because by accident, I inhaled
(16:48):
like half that powder because I just happened to open
my mouth and take a breath right when I opened
the damn box. So that was kind of funny just
in filming. But we joke and laugh constantly on the show,
So I don't think there's this like there isn't a
scene that I've laughed as hard as just the moments
we've had on set. I mean, we just did a
moment and I know you all saw this last week
(17:08):
where I put this TikTok out. I've done two tiktoks
recently where they were challenges where you kind of trick,
you trick one of the people in the challenge. I
did it to Richard a couple weeks ago, and I
just did it to Lazev last week with his chicken dance.
And clearly the fans have loved that video. I mean
it's got an insane amount of views in less than
a day. And that was I mean, I was crying, laughing.
(17:31):
All of us were crying, laughing, really funny moment together
as a castle. See what is the biggest culture shock
you've experienced personally and as a family traveling. I don't
know if I have like a super I would say
probably honestly personally and not even as a family. But
when I did the USO Tour and I traveled to Afghanistan, Pakistan,
(17:53):
the Emirates, I was in the Middle East for a
few weeks. That was probably the biggest culture shock, to
be honest. I mean I was living on a military
basis stuff like that, but it was unlike anything I'd
ever experienced for sure in my life. And what an
amazing opportunity to be with our troops. So that would
probably be what stands out at the moment. Yeah, and
(18:13):
so those are most of the questions that you listeners had.
I love doing these these episodes where I answer your questions. Please,
if you have any other questions or something I didn't
get to, send us dms on our ig page or
you know, you can email us at Eric and Roz
at iHeartRadio dot com. I love answering your questions. And
I just want to make something clear because a lot
of people were taking Roz's side that this crazy lady
(18:34):
that came to our house was an actual witch. Listen,
I don't think she was a witch. I think she
was just off. She was CALCULI like a witch. Yes,
she had dark hair like Roslin, stereotypical, you know, put
a witch out there. There was no broom in sight.
She was not otherwise acting like a witch. She was
acting a little off. But listen, I understand you all
(18:54):
are siding with Roz. I get it. I get it.
Maybe she was, but let's hope that she did not
put any magical spell on anything. We just need her
to never come back. In the meantime. That concludes this
episode of our Q and A with h that he said.
He said, thank you so much. I appreciate everybody reaching
out again. Thank you for your Palmer public support, all
(19:16):
the support you've had for our podcast, and I'm looking
forward to answering more questions. And to make it clear,
I'm working on getting another lunch with the rookies on
the book for our podcast, so be looking out for
that as well. All Right, everybody, take care, Thanks for listening.

one thing I truly appreciate. And I think our laughs
are when we laugh, we laugh deep and strong and
we have a great time. So I think constantly being
there for each other and having those moments always stands
out to me as some of my favorite things about
(06:35):
marriage and marriage to her in particular. At L Williams,
if you could return to one moment of your life,
what would it be? Hmm, that's a really tough one
singular moment. I don't think there is one. But moments
that stand out to me in a big way are marriage,
(07:00):
the wedding with Roz, and also the birth of both
of my children. Being there and trying to be even
more present in those moments would be a great thing
to go back and have. I was very present. I
was there for both and I was taking it all in.
But it all happens fast, and it's overwhelming. And any
(07:20):
of you who are you married or have kids, you
get it. You know. The wedding night is a blur.
Everything is so quick, and you're just you're constantly worried
about what everybody else is feeling and doing and making
sure everything's going smooth. And it's hard to fully be
in the moment. And even though I tell myself that
all the time, like I was trying to be in
the moment, it's you know, I wish I could have
(07:41):
some of that back. But that would probably be the
three things that would jump out if I was to
think about it. I have so many great, you know,
childhood memories as well, but honestly, as as I get older,
I just appreciate these moments with my kids and all that,
as you know, as much as I can next question,
(08:01):
do I have any fears? We lou Do I have
any fears? You know, this is going to go back
to probably I don't have, like I would say, fears
of anything that I could define as being truly that.
But I would say, look in our business, I don't
fear it. But there's always concern, right that you want
to stay active, you want to keep working, you want
(08:22):
to be able to provide for your family. It's a
very unstable business. So I always have a little bit
of a concern that sits with me in the entertainment
space because it's just natural. But I try to just
ground it with trust and hard work, and which is
why I also pursue with so many other things. You know,
I don't want to just be a one trick pony.
I want to be a businessman and I want to
build things that will last, so I don't have to
(08:43):
just rely on the next job, you know, the next
acting gig, So that would be probably a concern. And
then also, you know, once you're a parent, I feel
like you spend so many hours and so much time
just always worrying about that your kids are okay, and
your kids are healthy and they're good and they're happy
and life is treating them the best it can and
that they're learning how to navigate it. It's it's like
(09:03):
I say, I always say, it's the most rewarding, the
most difficult thing being a parent, because there's just so
many aspects to when you feel successful as a parent,
when you feel like you fail. I feel like I
fail as a parent all the time. Uh, the way
I handle situations, the way I you know, speak to
my kids at time when I lose my patients, and
then I feel like I have a lot of wins.
(09:23):
So a lot of that all falls into my fears
and concerns about them just growing up and evolving to
be great humans and being able to tackle this world
in a successful way, you know, especially with my daughter
going into junior you know, in junior high now and
going to be, you know, just two years away from
high school, and so many things are coming her her
direction that I went through and obviously is natural and
(09:45):
normal for her to go through, and I just want
the best for her in these crazy times that she
keeps her head on her shoulders and and continues to
work hard and stays focused and try and keep her
out of any kind of trouble or anybody trying to
get her into trouble, because that was a lot for
me toavigate as well as a kid. So those would
probably be me my concerns. I wouldn't call them fears,
but just things that I'm always paying attention to at
(10:16):
Cathathum for it seems that there is a lot on
your plate. How do you manage things from becoming overwhelming?
Great question? There is a lot on my place, is funny.
I was thinking about it the other day and I
was talking at work about it. It's a lot to juggle.
I do like to be busy, which is a big
part of how I just keep it from being overwhelming.
But there are many, many moments where I come home
(10:38):
and I just feel completely overwhelmed, after filming all day,
having to learn lines for the next day, dealing with
power Republic all day long, coming home to both kids,
trying to be present, especially if my wife is gone,
and then trying to be present as a husband and
talk to her as much as possible. And yeah, I'm
thank god I have an amazing support system around me,
But I do find myself feeling overwhelmed at times, and
(11:00):
I just try to breathe, brace myself, understand that, and
I've had things fall through the cracks, make mistakes and
trying to be hard on myself and trying to take
any of these frustrations out on the kids because that's
so you know, it happens so easily sometimes where you
just you're on edge because you're juggling so much, and
then you might snap. You might get upset about something
that's silly or stupid, you know. So I would say,
(11:23):
I just try to balance it all in stride, except
when something's not going to go my way. I can't
make every single thing, but I try to do my
very best, and that's it. Just trying to balance and
put pieces in place. That's one of the things I
do love about being busy. I like putting in pieces
in order to make everything flow. It's a very rewarding
feeling accomplishing a crazy day and having it all go smooth,
(11:48):
which doesn't always happen. At az A, one of all
of the characters you played, which one you think would
get along with Tim the best and be and be friends.
I've never thought about that. Most of the characters I
played I've been they'd been jerks and I don't think
Tim would stand for any of it. If I really
think about a lot of my my you know characters. Obviously,
(12:08):
you know, not every character is bad. But I would
say I did this movie Fire with Fire with Josh
du mallin Rosari Dawson, and this is my character. It
was not a huge role in the movie, but he
was a firefighter, a good friend. I think that's somebody
that Tim would get along with for sure. They'd probably
talk a lot of trash to each other and be
on the opposite ends of like the fire department versus
the police department in different you know, sporting events and
(12:30):
stuff like that. So I'd say that's a character and
maybe even which most people I've never seen. But the
my Viva Laughlin character, Craig Oloff, no, that was that
was a mentalist. Viva Laughlin's character. I can't think of
his actual the actual character name, but he was a detective, quirky,
kind of funny. Tim might find him a little annoying
at times, but I bet you they would eventually get
(12:52):
along and have a good time. Otherwise, I think most
of my characters would were just either like I I
go to the ugly truth, the character was a little soft.
I think Tim would get annoyed with him, and I
think the other guys have been douches or bad guys
or jerks. Maybe the Rosewood character was a cool character too.
The Tim would like Savanta on uh. I don't want
to say this from Germany wants to know if you
(13:14):
have any regrets or do you think it's okay for
people to have them or should they dwell they should
they not dwell on them? Listen, I have a bunch
of regrets, and like you know, I think about them
all the time, but I try not to dwell on them.
I guess that's the thing. I think it's I'd be
lying if I said I didn't dwell a little bit
on things. I that's something I definitely work at. I
(13:34):
can hold a grudge at times too. I try not to,
but I have so many regrets in the way I've
handled certain moments in my life, or certain career decisions
or even investment decisions choices, stuff like that. But you know,
I definitely have gotten much better at trying to move on.
I think you have to be able to forgive yourself
and understand nobody's perfect and it's okay I think to
(13:56):
dwell on it for a minute so you can try
to really learn about it, and longer than a minute, obviously,
but just for a period of time so you can
try and learn from whatever your mistake was or your
current regret is. But you have to be able to
move past it. Otherwise you're just going to be a
ship that sinks and it's going to eat you alive.
And I've been in those moments. I've been in those
moments where things eat me alive for way too long
(14:18):
and it causes so much additional stress. So to you
who asked the question, I really hope if you have
any regrets right now, that you are trying to move
past them and look on too, the next chapter, the
next step in what you're trying to accomplish. Let's see
this one lb tis Tiszam. I'm not trying to say
this one either. Does the life you have now exceed
(14:39):
any expectations you had as a kid for your life? Wow,
it definitely does. Listen on. My journey was not linear
by any means. My wife always knew she wanted to
be in entertainment. We've talked about this before. I jumped
all over the place. I wanted to be a football player.
Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. When I got
into college, then I decided I wanted to be a doctor.
(15:00):
And that's when I started school at UCLA, and I
wasn't in med school but just pre med, and I
was all over the place. Then I decided, Okay, somebody
told me to be a model. I said, okay, I'll
try and be a model. I was doing that for
a while, had some success. Then I said, oh, let's
try and be an actor. Did that for a minute,
had zero success, was struggling for a long time. Was
never taken serious, I guess because I came from this
modeling world and I was like, oh, he can't really act, he's,
(15:22):
you know, a model, and was constantly having to prove
myself and I never really saw my life going completely
the direction that it's in. And at some point I
obviously was all in on the acting and kept working
at it and studying and never quitting, and I got
to where I'm at so absolutely it succeeded my expectations.
(15:44):
And as a kid, I never I was so shy
in front of people, and not in my friend group.
I was always very loud, and outgoing, but speaking in
front of people, acting in front of people, doing any
of that kind of stuff, I was not good, not
good at all. So I would never thought this would
have been my future because I just I was never
great in front of in front of a crowd that
(16:05):
I didn't know. But you put me in from my friends,
I'll be a clown. So it definitely has exceeded where
I thought i'd be, just building the future that I've
built for sure. At Zadi, what is the funniest scene
you have filmed on the Rookie? Wow, that's a hard one.
(16:26):
We had a lot of funny scenes, and Tim has
so many just funny moments that I think come to mind.
But I would say that the double prank when Lucy
got nailed with the the little trash can bomb that
put powder all over her face, and then she reversed
it back to Tim and got him with the gift box.
That was pretty funny, especially because by accident, I inhaled
(16:48):
like half that powder because I just happened to open
my mouth and take a breath right when I opened
the damn box. So that was kind of funny just
in filming. But we joke and laugh constantly on the show,
So I don't think there's this like there isn't a
scene that I've laughed as hard as just the moments
we've had on set. I mean, we just did a
moment and I know you all saw this last week
(17:08):
where I put this TikTok out. I've done two tiktoks
recently where they were challenges where you kind of trick,
you trick one of the people in the challenge. I
did it to Richard a couple weeks ago, and I
just did it to Lazev last week with his chicken dance.
And clearly the fans have loved that video. I mean
it's got an insane amount of views in less than
a day. And that was I mean, I was crying, laughing.
(17:31):
All of us were crying, laughing, really funny moment together
as a castle. See what is the biggest culture shock
you've experienced personally and as a family traveling. I don't
know if I have like a super I would say
probably honestly personally and not even as a family. But
when I did the USO Tour and I traveled to Afghanistan, Pakistan,
(17:53):
the Emirates, I was in the Middle East for a
few weeks. That was probably the biggest culture shock, to
be honest. I mean I was living on a military
basis stuff like that, but it was unlike anything I'd
ever experienced for sure in my life. And what an
amazing opportunity to be with our troops. So that would
probably be what stands out at the moment. Yeah, and
(18:13):
so those are most of the questions that you listeners had.
I love doing these these episodes where I answer your questions. Please,

get to, send us dms on our ig page or
you know, you can email us at Eric and Roz
at iHeartRadio dot com. I love answering your questions. And
I just want to make something clear because a lot
of people were taking Roz's side that this crazy lady
(18:34):
that came to our house was an actual witch. Listen,
I don't think she was a witch. I think she
was just off. She was CALCULI like a witch. Yes,
she had dark hair like Roslin, stereotypical, you know, put
a witch out there. There was no broom in sight.
She was not otherwise acting like a witch. She was
acting a little off. But listen, I understand you all
(18:54):
are siding with Roz. I get it. I get it.
Maybe she was, but let's hope that she did not
put any magical spell on anything. We just need her
to never come back. In the meantime. That concludes this
episode of our Q and A with h that he said.
He said, thank you so much. I appreciate everybody reaching
