Speaker 2 (01:53):
So how is your band doing? Are you doing some shows?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
No? No, no no, not in band mode? Okay, not
in band mode. It's I'm too busy. And it's like,
you know, I was going to open. I got an
offer to open for Oh god, what's his name, Nick Carter?
Oh yeah, his his his US. He did a US
(02:21):
toury these these people, you guys are always touring. You're
always everybody somebody, You're always somewhere, so the American leg
of his. But I was working on that show up
in Cannon. I couldn't do it, oh right on, because
you know, it just can't be two places at once.
It'd be flying, flying from Halifax and bat Australia. I
(02:44):
could do, Yeah, well I could do. I could do
Australia November November.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, wow, already Melbourne's already sold out at the Forum, dude,
and they added a second night.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Whoa, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, you know it never ends. We just did Milwaukee Summerfest, right,
which was ten thousand crazy Freaks with Benson Boone. I
don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Benson Boone is like the guy who does somersaults and
trampolines off the stage and has a really high pitched voice.
And he's like he's like Freddie Mercury and like a
Disney cartoon had a kid. Wow, and that's Benson Boone.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I just played with Benson Boone.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So he's he's like, he's like, got all these hit records.
He's huge.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh wow, he.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Does he's a gymnast. He's a gymnast too, Like he'll
go on fallon and he'll do like a backflip or
some wow yeah, And every time he does it, I'm like,
oh God, it's the knees. The knees right, the impact
on them.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I worry whenever I see people headbag now, I'm like,
oh man, I messed myself up. Dude, Like I'm fifty
seven now and I cannot be doing that crazy. My
next I got to go to the chiropractor. Like it's
that's not good for you.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
It is.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
My point is it's just not the it's not designed
for that.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well, they're going to have to pull all your records
off the shelves because that's what people do when they
hear one of your songs. The hell just starts doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So okay, so uh, we're doing Sturgis the bike rally,
and then Bay City, Michigan with Trace Adkins, believe it
or not. And that's the week after that, and we're
about to announce a full US ball tour in the bus.
(04:59):
That's what That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
All right. Well, check out Sebastian and his band. Thank
you because they bring the heat. We're going to open
for quiet Riot, Open for quiet Riot, the gil Workers.
Maybe maybe Oasis, maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That would be good. That would be if we were
shooting Gilmore Girls. Now what the line would be?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You know what? If there's one thing I know, it's
that The Gilmore Girls has a wife of its own.
Wherever I go in the world, people watch it. When
I check into a hotel and like Mexico or Australia,
I put the TV on. There's you, then You're diner,
(05:44):
doesn't matter what country, and people like it's the international.
I've watched the show in different languages, which is a trip, right,
Like you're speaking in Spanish and stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Pretty great, that's funny stuff. Let me ask you something.
You're a dad, yes, so how do you balance being
on the road and being a parent, Well do you
take them with you? I mean you can't when they're
in school.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, I can't. And wow, that's a heavy question because
I last year I did ninety one cities and it
was it was too much. But I mean, you know,
you know people around you, and and you know you
(06:35):
want to be successful and make tons of PA and
you don't want to leave money on the table, but
there is there is a price to pay for not
being there and not like really just not being present
all the time. Like my daughter just graduated high school.
(06:58):
Now she is going to go to F I. T
and Manhattan and she doesn't live here in Vegas anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And listen, you know, all all of us wish you
the best. And working that out that is I know
what that's like. Oh sure, yeah, I mean the guilt
of being on the road and you know, yeah, you're
providing shelter and food and and but you're not there. Yeah,
(07:27):
I mean I'm gone four months when you shooting this show.
I'm on and I have an eleven year old. Well
how do you deal with goot? I FaceTime him so
much every day that he gets sick of me.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, you know, I got a question for you. When
you're gone that long four months shooting a show or something,
how do you deal with every day doing your work,
but then going back to a empty hotel room by yourself.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I have my podcast, so you're doing your podcast in
your room. I stay busy my podcast, and I have
my Martin D seven, so I cook. I cook my dinner.
I love to cook. If there's a game on, I'll
watch the game. I'm cooking and eating. Then I do
(08:24):
my podcast. Any downtime it's podcast time because this schedule
has gotten, you know, heftier. And then if there's any
any relaxation time, I just pick up the guitar and
that's great and start picking away. You know.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But it's tough being a way.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's it's painful.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's painful.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
God, it's painful. But it's like if if you you
know the way I think about it, it's like, my
family needs tells insurance, my family need security, my family,
my son needs college money.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well you know, I mean, so.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I need to keep working and putting money away, you know,
because these these jobs these days don't pay the way
they used to. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Well, you know, one thing my wife always tells me,
the SAG being on Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
The health insurance that we got is very valuable.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, it is. It's hugely valuable.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I don't know if any fans watching this realize that
if your own show, like The Gilmore Girls for years,
you get health insurance and it's from SAG and it's incredible.
And my wife's like, you got to do another show
and keep that. And I always keep getting shows. I
(09:53):
was just on mass Center, I was on Worst Cooks
in America, right, and but then but then again, I
just turned down a show. I don't do every show
that I'm asked to do, even though to keep that
sad health insurance going, like I want to do. I
(10:14):
want to keep that for my family. They cover my kids,
they cover my wife, like it's crazy. But if you don't,
if you don't do TV shows, it goes.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Away, goes away, and then you're on the Cobra plan
and then it's like big monthly bills.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You miss it. So anyways, no, I'm not offered to
do a show called I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out
of Here. It's out of the UK and it was
a huge paycheck for me, and they were telling me
and I was like, well, I better do it for
the health insurance. But I had no clue about what
(10:51):
the show was, so I went on YouTube checking it out.
I'm a celebrity, to get me out of here, and
they like pork buckets of cockroaches down your pants and
or they put like a motorcycle helmet on somebody's head
and then a funnel of rats come in and like
(11:13):
nibble it your I go, I'm not doing this. I go,
I'm not doing this, and my people are like, well,
you just you should just have a zoom call with
the producers. I go, okay, I'll do that. Then we
get on a zoom call and they're like, assuming I'm
going to do this show, and I go, well, what
are the hotels like? And they go what. I go,
(11:35):
where am I going to be staying? They go, well,
we're going to we actually drop you guys in the
middle of the woods in Australia and you have to
you have to like fend for yourself. And one of
the big features of the show is that you're going
to have to eat bugs and like and I go, okay,
and I google this. There's a scene. There's a scene
(11:57):
where one of the contestant eats us Sheiza with live
scorpions on it. I go on, I'm never doing that,
and then they call.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
They go, some people, but some people really really want
to be famous, and they'll do anything to be famous
and be on that show. The deal breaker was late
their own you know what, I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Not that desperate dude. So they so they I go,
what other kind of challenges you guys got this show?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
They go, well, one of our one of our big
ones is that we get a tight rope between two
high rise apartment buildings and you have to walk across
it above the city.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I go, I'm not doing that. I don't give a
how much money you're going to pay me. I'm not
eating scorpions. I'm not I need a nice hotel.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I mean, is my last name Wilenda? I mean, who
did George Wilenda just walk? What do you mean tight
rope between two buildings?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I'm doing that? Who would do that? I'm not doing that?
And I need air conditioning? Would I go to sleep?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
All right, I'm not going to sleep. I don't know.
I don't know about you guys, but so I'm not
doing that. Shows out in.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
The Australian wilderness where there's like thirty foot crocodiles.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Like would look at us like we were just like
a snack.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, I'm not going to do that. We have a
very special guest host who's going to come in. Elaine
Espinosa is here. She's going to talk to you for
a couple of minutes. She has some questions for you. Elaine,
(13:49):
come on in, put on the headset. It's Elaine Espinosa,
my assistant.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Hey, So, out of all the times that you've been out,
you know, out and abount and you're recognized, what's the
strangest encounter that you have had with a Gilmore Girls fan?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well, you know, I get recognized in different parts of
town for different things. So when I go to a
rock club, it's skid Row. When I go to Canada,
it's Trailer Park Boys. They and also Gilmore Girls. Both
(14:29):
of them in Canada are huge. But there's a show
on Netflix called Trailer Park Boys, Yeah, which I'm on,
which is a very different show than Gilmore Girls. Gilmore
Girls is huge in Canada, like huge. The strangest there's two,
I would say, well, one time, I was okay, And
(14:52):
when I go to the mall, when I go to Target,
it's are you are you?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
It's Rblayer and lanes Band, and I'm like, yeah. People
cannot believe it, and they always say it to me.
They go, well, when I saw you, I thought it
was you, but then I heard you talk and I
knew it was you. But I go, well, I'm not
trying to talk any way, but I always hear that.
So one time I'm in it.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
I at the mall and I get it in an elevator, okay,
And the elevator is packed with like teen girls in
their moms and I'm in the middle six foot forard.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I'm in the elevator and there's a silence and then
one other girls goes, are you Gil for the go
work girls, and I go, yes, I am. And they
just started screaming in this elevator and crying and freaking out.
And that was a memorable moment because I was in
(16:00):
an elevator with them and I was in the mill
and they couldn't they couldn't comprehend it. They just lost
their minds. But the strangest encounter by far, I would
say number one is when we were shooting an episode,
you were in a scott. I think you're in all
the episodes except the last one. I'm sorry, but so
(16:26):
I'm in my hotel room early in the morning, waiting
to go to the set to shoot my scenes, and
my stunt double died by the name of Carrey called
me on the phone. He goes, Sebastian, you're not gonna
believe who's here right now? But I go Who's that?
He goes, Daddy.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
Lee, for Rush is here with his daughter because she
loves the Gilmore Girls and he's arranged to be on
the set and take her to watch an episode.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
And I couldn't. I thought he was joking. I'm a
Rush fanatic, like I I'm Canadian. Canadians like three things, hockey,
beer and Rush. This is what we enjoy up in Canada.
You know that you've been up there, so Rush is
legendary to me. And Geddy Lee brought his daughter to
(17:27):
the Gilmore Girls set. I came down there. We spent
the afternoon together. We went to catering and got something
to eat, and I went up to helen Pye, which
is an anagram for hep alien in there, so I
went up to it. I go, listen to me ganny
(17:48):
Lee from Russia's here. You gotta put him in the show.
I go, if I'm in your show, that's wonderful, but
you're crazy if you don't him in the show. And
she goes, and there was a scene coming up that
I had a group scene in it in that little
(18:08):
house on the set on Warner Brothers Law. So Helen
Pi goes, okay, well, let me talk to you know,
the director. I can't remember who was directing that episode.
But they came back and they said, okay, go ask
Gedty and his daughter if they want to be in
the scene. And I go, this is so surreal. And
also Sally Struthers was in that scene too. I was
(18:31):
sitting there with Sally Strullers from all the family and
Geddy Lee of Rush like Alice, this possible? How is
this possible? So I said to Getty, I go, hey, man,
how would you and your daughter like to be in
the Gilmore Girls? And he goes, oh, no, I can't.
(18:54):
I can't do that. He goes. He goes, hey, okay,
well let me let me go think about this, and
I'll take I'm going to take my daughter to dinner
and I'm going to come back because a very late
night shoot. He goes, I'll think about it. He comes
back and he goes, Okay, I'll be in it. And
it was a scene where we were playing guitars. Do
you remember that, Scott. There was a bunch of people
(19:16):
in this that little house. I know you shot a
billion scenes, and it was like we were playing a guitar.
I saw the guitar and he's in the scene, but
not enough.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
In Laurel's house. Whose house, I don't know you.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
No, it was like a friend's house, your rehearsal space. No, No,
it wasn't that house. It was on the lot, but
I can't explain it. Very small house. Not it's two level.
It was a one level. I think it was at
somebody one of their friend's house. I can't remember exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But if the powers that be ever do a box
set or a remastered remixed version of that episode, they
should look in the footage and put him in it
more like he's barely in it. Like Rush fans would
freak out. I mean. So that's my strangest encounter with
(20:17):
a fan is Gedty Lee's daughter and getting the lead
singer of Rush in the Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Here's a question for you. Yeah, you know, I don't
think we've ever asked you this before, and I think
you need to chime in. How do you feel about
laurla and who she should end up with romantically speaking?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I mean, how can I answer any other way? But
I think it should be Luke. I mean, that's the
chemistry of the show as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
So no way, Christopher, no chance.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I don't. I don't even really remember Christopher. I remember you.
That's one of my songs. I remember, you know, But
I mean you guys to me, I have a song
called I Remember You too. You do?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah? I do?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Wow. So I thought that you and Lauren Graham as
actor and actress had a total real chemistry, like when
you guys looked in each other's eyes.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, that's for real.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I could I could see a spark there that you
can't fake. That. That's not even that's not even really
acting really, I mean maybe it is.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
It's not your right, you know, you're right about that.
That's a very various dude comments. It's very stupid. It's
not acting, it's it's real. It's that X factor that
two people have.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, screen, Yeah, I noticed that the very first table
reader I ever did with you guys sitting there, I
could feel.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That that's Amy. That's Amy getting the right people, and
not just the right people for the character, but to
play off of each other. Right, she just understood that
magic if it happened. And I never even read with Lauren.
I didn't read with her. My audition was shooting the
(22:25):
pilot with her. Wow, Because I wasn't a serious regular,
I was just a guest star. They could have replaced
me and reshot those scenes, you know, if that didn't
work out. So that's what my manager told me, said,
Toronto for you shooting the pilot, that's going to be
your final audition.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, you shot the pilot in Toronto. Yes, Oh my gosh,
I didn't even know that. No Wonder is so big
up there, It really is. It's huge. Geddy Lee told
me that his daughter.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I had like.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Episodes memorized and he explained to me. He explained to
me that The Gilmore Girls was a way for him
and his daughter to bond and they watched it together
and you know, he couldn't believe I was on there
because he knows I'm a real rocker and a fan
(23:19):
of him, and he goes, it's seamless, you're coming in here,
and I go, well, I'm not really, you know, I
enjoy making things like I look back into Gilmore Girls.
I can't think of another show now that's one hour
long with that amount of dialogue. I mean, I mean,
(23:39):
you know, maybe on Netflix or something, but not on
primetime TV, you know. I mean, I look back and
it's one of the last hour long dramedies. If that's
the right word.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
It is. It is.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
But I mean, think of the amount of dialogue in
those scripts. It was even I wasn't even a major
part of the show, and I had quite a bit
of dialogue that I had to memorize quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
So it's it's a lot. It's it's it's eighty pages,
very dense.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yes, it's not fifty five or sixty pages. It's crazy,
very dense scene descriptions because it's all action, it's all talking, yes.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And and they would always I would always deliver my
lines and they go, okay, now do it faster. Every
time they would want me to do it faster. I
think because there's so much dialogue. They got to fit
it all in the show.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, they only got forty minutes to do. They got
to sell twenty minutes to commercials.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
But there's like, it's like war and Peace.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You gotta do. You gotta do two pages a minute.
Heankes to get forty minutes eighty pages. That's two pages
a minute.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Every minute.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
There's two pages of dense dialogue coming at you. It's like,
so check this out.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I don't know if I told you this in podcast
I did with you, But when I was on a
Gilmore Girls, I got an offer to be on an
episode of Law and Order and they wanted me to
play like this DJ. So I was so excited because
(25:19):
my dad that was his favorite show. I loved Law
and Order. I watched it all the time, and I
couldn't believe that I was gonna possibly be on Law
and Order. So the audition was in Manhattan, and no
down on the Pier, you know the pier in New
(25:39):
York City where there's all these offices and shops, and
so I was there, but I couldn't find the place
where I was auditioning, Like I was in this building
and I couldn't find it. So I was late, which
I cannot I can't even handle being late like that's
you know. Look, I was late for my issue Law
(26:01):
and Order, and I was mortified and because you know,
you can't be late. So I get in there and
I'm pissed off that was late. So they had me
memorized some lines and they sat me down. The producers
allowed an order. Okay, okay, let's do this. So they
(26:22):
ran the scene and.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I delivered my lines like like an auctioneer, because I
was used to the guild workers telling me to do
it as fast as I could.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah. Like the producers look at each other.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
Go.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Dude, slow down, and I go, I'd be cool. Well,
I'm on the show The Gilmore Girls, where they tell
me every time to say as fast as I can,
but they go, this is so every show is different.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
It certainly is. It's been wonderful catching up with you
right on, Scott and everybody. Where can they go to
get your tour dates? Do you have a website?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Sure? You know you guys all know the drill sebashrbot
dot com is where.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
You can easy to remember. Yeah, oh there, go check
him out, the guys. A bona fide rock star you're
going to have good night. Just make sure you bring
a neck brace with you. Oh my lord, as you're
going to be headbanging. You are not all the best.
Thanks Buddy, Thank you, Scott.
Speaker 2 (27:39):

opening for a while. This is the first time'm hearing
about this.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I guess somebody's just pulling my leg opening for Oasis.
Somebody texted me last night and said, did you know
that Sebastian band. I'm going to open a couple of
shows in the United States, not that I'm aware of,
not that, but I am going to Australia.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
For one, two, three, four or five six seven shows
in Australia.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And last time we were on, we were talking about that. Well,
Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Is huge there, right, Well, yeah, yeah, it's pretty popular there. Yeah.
But if you haven't got tickets for Sebastian show yet.
In Australia, you better get hopping.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So how is your band doing? Are you doing some shows?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
No? No, no no, not in band mode? Okay, not
in band mode. It's I'm too busy. And it's like,
you know, I was going to open. I got an
offer to open for Oh god, what's his name, Nick Carter?
Oh yeah, his his his US. He did a US
(02:21):
toury these these people, you guys are always touring. You're
always everybody somebody, You're always somewhere, so the American leg
of his. But I was working on that show up
in Cannon. I couldn't do it, oh right on, because
you know, it just can't be two places at once.
It'd be flying, flying from Halifax and bat Australia. I
(02:44):
could do, Yeah, well I could do. I could do
Australia November November.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, wow, already Melbourne's already sold out at the Forum, dude,
and they added a second night.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Whoa, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, you know it never ends. We just did Milwaukee Summerfest, right,
which was ten thousand crazy Freaks with Benson Boone. I
don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Benson Boone is like the guy who does somersaults and
trampolines off the stage and has a really high pitched voice.
And he's like he's like Freddie Mercury and like a
Disney cartoon had a kid. Wow, and that's Benson Boone.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I just played with Benson Boone.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So he's he's like, he's like, got all these hit records.
He's huge.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh wow, he.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Does he's a gymnast. He's a gymnast too, Like he'll
go on fallon and he'll do like a backflip or
some wow yeah, And every time he does it, I'm like,
oh God, it's the knees. The knees right, the impact
on them.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I worry whenever I see people headbag now, I'm like,
oh man, I messed myself up. Dude, Like I'm fifty
seven now and I cannot be doing that crazy. My
next I got to go to the chiropractor. Like it's
that's not good for you.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
It is.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
My point is it's just not the it's not designed
for that.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well, they're going to have to pull all your records
off the shelves because that's what people do when they
hear one of your songs. The hell just starts doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So okay, so uh, we're doing Sturgis the bike rally,
and then Bay City, Michigan with Trace Adkins, believe it
or not. And that's the week after that, and we're
about to announce a full US ball tour in the bus.
(04:59):
That's what That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
All right. Well, check out Sebastian and his band. Thank
you because they bring the heat. We're going to open
for quiet Riot, Open for quiet Riot, the gil Workers.
Maybe maybe Oasis, maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That would be good. That would be if we were
shooting Gilmore Girls. Now what the line would be?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You know what? If there's one thing I know, it's
that The Gilmore Girls has a wife of its own.
Wherever I go in the world, people watch it. When
I check into a hotel and like Mexico or Australia,
I put the TV on. There's you, then You're diner,
(05:44):
doesn't matter what country, and people like it's the international.
I've watched the show in different languages, which is a trip, right,
Like you're speaking in Spanish and stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Pretty great, that's funny stuff. Let me ask you something.
You're a dad, yes, so how do you balance being
on the road and being a parent, Well do you
take them with you? I mean you can't when they're
in school.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, I can't. And wow, that's a heavy question because
I last year I did ninety one cities and it
was it was too much. But I mean, you know,
you know people around you, and and you know you
(06:35):
want to be successful and make tons of PA and
you don't want to leave money on the table, but
there is there is a price to pay for not
being there and not like really just not being present
all the time. Like my daughter just graduated high school.
(06:58):
Now she is going to go to F I. T
and Manhattan and she doesn't live here in Vegas anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And listen, you know, all all of us wish you
the best. And working that out that is I know
what that's like. Oh sure, yeah, I mean the guilt
of being on the road and you know, yeah, you're
providing shelter and food and and but you're not there. Yeah,
(07:27):
I mean I'm gone four months when you shooting this show.
I'm on and I have an eleven year old. Well
how do you deal with goot? I FaceTime him so
much every day that he gets sick of me.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, you know, I got a question for you. When
you're gone that long four months shooting a show or something,
how do you deal with every day doing your work,
but then going back to a empty hotel room by yourself.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I have my podcast, so you're doing your podcast in
your room. I stay busy my podcast, and I have
my Martin D seven, so I cook. I cook my dinner.
I love to cook. If there's a game on, I'll
watch the game. I'm cooking and eating. Then I do
(08:24):
my podcast. Any downtime it's podcast time because this schedule
has gotten, you know, heftier. And then if there's any
any relaxation time, I just pick up the guitar and
that's great and start picking away. You know.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But it's tough being a way.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's it's painful.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's painful.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
God, it's painful. But it's like if if you you
know the way I think about it, it's like, my
family needs tells insurance, my family need security, my family,
my son needs college money.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well you know, I mean, so.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I need to keep working and putting money away, you know,
because these these jobs these days don't pay the way
they used to. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Well, you know, one thing my wife always tells me,
the SAG being on Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
The health insurance that we got is very valuable.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, it is. It's hugely valuable.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I don't know if any fans watching this realize that
if your own show, like The Gilmore Girls for years,
you get health insurance and it's from SAG and it's incredible.
And my wife's like, you got to do another show
and keep that. And I always keep getting shows. I
(09:53):
was just on mass Center, I was on Worst Cooks
in America, right, and but then but then again, I
just turned down a show. I don't do every show
that I'm asked to do, even though to keep that
sad health insurance going, like I want to do. I
(10:14):
want to keep that for my family. They cover my kids,
they cover my wife, like it's crazy. But if you don't,
if you don't do TV shows, it goes.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Away, goes away, and then you're on the Cobra plan
and then it's like big monthly bills.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You miss it. So anyways, no, I'm not offered to
do a show called I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out
of Here. It's out of the UK and it was
a huge paycheck for me, and they were telling me
and I was like, well, I better do it for
the health insurance. But I had no clue about what
(10:51):
the show was, so I went on YouTube checking it out.
I'm a celebrity, to get me out of here, and
they like pork buckets of cockroaches down your pants and
or they put like a motorcycle helmet on somebody's head
and then a funnel of rats come in and like
(11:13):
nibble it your I go, I'm not doing this. I go,
I'm not doing this, and my people are like, well,
you just you should just have a zoom call with
the producers. I go, okay, I'll do that. Then we
get on a zoom call and they're like, assuming I'm
going to do this show, and I go, well, what
are the hotels like? And they go what. I go,
(11:35):
where am I going to be staying? They go, well,
we're going to we actually drop you guys in the
middle of the woods in Australia and you have to
you have to like fend for yourself. And one of
the big features of the show is that you're going
to have to eat bugs and like and I go, okay,
and I google this. There's a scene. There's a scene
(11:57):
where one of the contestant eats us Sheiza with live
scorpions on it. I go on, I'm never doing that,
and then they call.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
They go, some people, but some people really really want
to be famous, and they'll do anything to be famous
and be on that show. The deal breaker was late
their own you know what, I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Not that desperate dude. So they so they I go,
what other kind of challenges you guys got this show?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
They go, well, one of our one of our big
ones is that we get a tight rope between two
high rise apartment buildings and you have to walk across
it above the city.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I go, I'm not doing that. I don't give a
how much money you're going to pay me. I'm not
eating scorpions. I'm not I need a nice hotel.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I mean, is my last name Wilenda? I mean, who
did George Wilenda just walk? What do you mean tight
rope between two buildings?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I'm doing that? Who would do that? I'm not doing that?
And I need air conditioning? Would I go to sleep?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
All right, I'm not going to sleep. I don't know.
I don't know about you guys, but so I'm not
doing that. Shows out in.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
The Australian wilderness where there's like thirty foot crocodiles.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Like would look at us like we were just like
a snack.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, I'm not going to do that. We have a
very special guest host who's going to come in. Elaine
Espinosa is here. She's going to talk to you for
a couple of minutes. She has some questions for you. Elaine,
(13:49):
come on in, put on the headset. It's Elaine Espinosa,
my assistant.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Hey, So, out of all the times that you've been out,
you know, out and abount and you're recognized, what's the
strangest encounter that you have had with a Gilmore Girls fan?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well, you know, I get recognized in different parts of
town for different things. So when I go to a
rock club, it's skid Row. When I go to Canada,
it's Trailer Park Boys. They and also Gilmore Girls. Both
(14:29):
of them in Canada are huge. But there's a show
on Netflix called Trailer Park Boys, Yeah, which I'm on,
which is a very different show than Gilmore Girls. Gilmore
Girls is huge in Canada, like huge. The strangest there's two,
I would say, well, one time, I was okay, And
(14:52):
when I go to the mall, when I go to Target,
it's are you are you?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
It's Rblayer and lanes Band, and I'm like, yeah. People
cannot believe it, and they always say it to me.
They go, well, when I saw you, I thought it
was you, but then I heard you talk and I
knew it was you. But I go, well, I'm not
trying to talk any way, but I always hear that.
So one time I'm in it.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
I at the mall and I get it in an elevator, okay,
And the elevator is packed with like teen girls in
their moms and I'm in the middle six foot forard.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I'm in the elevator and there's a silence and then
one other girls goes, are you Gil for the go
work girls, and I go, yes, I am. And they
just started screaming in this elevator and crying and freaking out.
And that was a memorable moment because I was in
(16:00):
an elevator with them and I was in the mill
and they couldn't they couldn't comprehend it. They just lost
their minds. But the strangest encounter by far, I would
say number one is when we were shooting an episode,
you were in a scott. I think you're in all
the episodes except the last one. I'm sorry, but so
(16:26):
I'm in my hotel room early in the morning, waiting
to go to the set to shoot my scenes, and
my stunt double died by the name of Carrey called
me on the phone. He goes, Sebastian, you're not gonna
believe who's here right now? But I go Who's that?
He goes, Daddy.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
Lee, for Rush is here with his daughter because she
loves the Gilmore Girls and he's arranged to be on
the set and take her to watch an episode.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
And I couldn't. I thought he was joking. I'm a
Rush fanatic, like I I'm Canadian. Canadians like three things, hockey,
beer and Rush. This is what we enjoy up in Canada.
You know that you've been up there, so Rush is
legendary to me. And Geddy Lee brought his daughter to
(17:27):
the Gilmore Girls set. I came down there. We spent
the afternoon together. We went to catering and got something
to eat, and I went up to helen Pye, which
is an anagram for hep alien in there, so I
went up to it. I go, listen to me ganny
(17:48):
Lee from Russia's here. You gotta put him in the show.
I go, if I'm in your show, that's wonderful, but
you're crazy if you don't him in the show. And
she goes, and there was a scene coming up that
I had a group scene in it in that little
(18:08):
house on the set on Warner Brothers Law. So Helen
Pi goes, okay, well, let me talk to you know,
the director. I can't remember who was directing that episode.
But they came back and they said, okay, go ask
Gedty and his daughter if they want to be in
the scene. And I go, this is so surreal. And
also Sally Struthers was in that scene too. I was
(18:31):
sitting there with Sally Strullers from all the family and
Geddy Lee of Rush like Alice, this possible? How is
this possible? So I said to Getty, I go, hey, man,
how would you and your daughter like to be in
the Gilmore Girls? And he goes, oh, no, I can't.
(18:54):
I can't do that. He goes. He goes, hey, okay,
well let me let me go think about this, and
I'll take I'm going to take my daughter to dinner
and I'm going to come back because a very late
night shoot. He goes, I'll think about it. He comes
back and he goes, Okay, I'll be in it. And
it was a scene where we were playing guitars. Do
you remember that, Scott. There was a bunch of people
(19:16):
in this that little house. I know you shot a
billion scenes, and it was like we were playing a guitar.
I saw the guitar and he's in the scene, but
not enough.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
In Laurel's house. Whose house, I don't know you.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
No, it was like a friend's house, your rehearsal space. No, No,
it wasn't that house. It was on the lot, but
I can't explain it. Very small house. Not it's two level.
It was a one level. I think it was at
somebody one of their friend's house. I can't remember exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But if the powers that be ever do a box
set or a remastered remixed version of that episode, they
should look in the footage and put him in it
more like he's barely in it. Like Rush fans would
freak out. I mean. So that's my strangest encounter with
(20:17):
a fan is Gedty Lee's daughter and getting the lead
singer of Rush in the Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Here's a question for you. Yeah, you know, I don't
think we've ever asked you this before, and I think
you need to chime in. How do you feel about
laurla and who she should end up with romantically speaking?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I mean, how can I answer any other way? But
I think it should be Luke. I mean, that's the
chemistry of the show as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
So no way, Christopher, no chance.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I don't. I don't even really remember Christopher. I remember you.
That's one of my songs. I remember, you know, But
I mean you guys to me, I have a song
called I Remember You too. You do?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah? I do?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Wow. So I thought that you and Lauren Graham as
actor and actress had a total real chemistry, like when
you guys looked in each other's eyes.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, that's for real.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I could I could see a spark there that you
can't fake. That. That's not even that's not even really
acting really, I mean maybe it is.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
It's not your right, you know, you're right about that.
That's a very various dude comments. It's very stupid. It's
not acting, it's it's real. It's that X factor that
two people have.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, screen, Yeah, I noticed that the very first table
reader I ever did with you guys sitting there, I
could feel.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That that's Amy. That's Amy getting the right people, and
not just the right people for the character, but to
play off of each other. Right, she just understood that
magic if it happened. And I never even read with Lauren.
I didn't read with her. My audition was shooting the
(22:25):
pilot with her. Wow, Because I wasn't a serious regular,
I was just a guest star. They could have replaced
me and reshot those scenes, you know, if that didn't
work out. So that's what my manager told me, said,
Toronto for you shooting the pilot, that's going to be
your final audition.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, you shot the pilot in Toronto. Yes, Oh my gosh,
I didn't even know that. No Wonder is so big
up there, It really is. It's huge. Geddy Lee told
me that his daughter.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I had like.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Episodes memorized and he explained to me. He explained to
me that The Gilmore Girls was a way for him
and his daughter to bond and they watched it together
and you know, he couldn't believe I was on there
because he knows I'm a real rocker and a fan
(23:19):
of him, and he goes, it's seamless, you're coming in here,
and I go, well, I'm not really, you know, I
enjoy making things like I look back into Gilmore Girls.
I can't think of another show now that's one hour
long with that amount of dialogue. I mean, I mean,
(23:39):
you know, maybe on Netflix or something, but not on
primetime TV, you know. I mean, I look back and
it's one of the last hour long dramedies. If that's
the right word.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
It is. It is.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
But I mean, think of the amount of dialogue in
those scripts. It was even I wasn't even a major
part of the show, and I had quite a bit
of dialogue that I had to memorize quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
So it's it's a lot. It's it's it's eighty pages,
very dense.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yes, it's not fifty five or sixty pages. It's crazy,
very dense scene descriptions because it's all action, it's all talking, yes.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And and they would always I would always deliver my
lines and they go, okay, now do it faster. Every
time they would want me to do it faster. I
think because there's so much dialogue. They got to fit
it all in the show.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, they only got forty minutes to do. They got
to sell twenty minutes to commercials.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
But there's like, it's like war and Peace.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You gotta do. You gotta do two pages a minute.
Heankes to get forty minutes eighty pages. That's two pages
a minute.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Every minute.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
There's two pages of dense dialogue coming at you. It's like,
so check this out.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I don't know if I told you this in podcast
I did with you, But when I was on a
Gilmore Girls, I got an offer to be on an
episode of Law and Order and they wanted me to
play like this DJ. So I was so excited because
(25:19):
my dad that was his favorite show. I loved Law
and Order. I watched it all the time, and I
couldn't believe that I was gonna possibly be on Law
and Order. So the audition was in Manhattan, and no
down on the Pier, you know the pier in New
(25:39):
York City where there's all these offices and shops, and
so I was there, but I couldn't find the place
where I was auditioning, Like I was in this building
and I couldn't find it. So I was late, which
I cannot I can't even handle being late like that's
you know. Look, I was late for my issue Law
(26:01):
and Order, and I was mortified and because you know,
you can't be late. So I get in there and
I'm pissed off that was late. So they had me
memorized some lines and they sat me down. The producers
allowed an order. Okay, okay, let's do this. So they
(26:22):
ran the scene and.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I delivered my lines like like an auctioneer, because I
was used to the guild workers telling me to do
it as fast as I could.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah. Like the producers look at each other.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
Go.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Dude, slow down, and I go, I'd be cool. Well,
I'm on the show The Gilmore Girls, where they tell
me every time to say as fast as I can,
but they go, this is so every show is different.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
It certainly is. It's been wonderful catching up with you
right on, Scott and everybody. Where can they go to
get your tour dates? Do you have a website?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Sure? You know you guys all know the drill sebashrbot
dot com is where.

him out, the guys. A bona fide rock star you're
going to have good night. Just make sure you bring
a neck brace with you. Oh my lord, as you're
going to be headbanging. You are not all the best.
Thanks Buddy, Thank you, Scott.
