Episode Transcript
Hey, everyone, thanks so much for joining me on Table
for two. This season, we're gonna try something new. We're
gonna have bonus content for you between each full length episode.
It's so much fun, and we had such great conversation
at the table with Divine Joey Randolph that I thought
i'd share a little more with you. Both of us
(00:27):
love fashion and I wanted to know where she finds
clothing inspiration and what she was planning to wear during
award season. We recorded this interview before she took home
BAFTA SAG Award and Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
That's right, she won an Oscar.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Divine and I also discussed her love of diamonds and
an urgent need for a private jet. And even though
award season is over and the fashion shows have ended,
I'm sure she would still welcome a plane or an
Elizabeth Taylor worthy rock Daddy Warbucks. If you're listening, you
can message me on Instagram and I'll put you in
touch with Divines people. We hope you enjoyed this little
(01:07):
bonus from our conversation, and we'll be back next week
with the handsome Matt Bomer.

like the hunger game? It really is and.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I've heard about it, just you know when people experience
it's like whow.
Speaker 2 (01:43):

Are you ready for it? No? Not ready for it?
It is what it is.
Speaker 3 (01:50):

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Like I always I'll say this, I genuinely don't know,
and I would tell you even off the camera.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I would tell you I gingually don't know. Yet I
don't know I don't know what I'm wearing a.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Sad yet bath yet, I don't know yet, which is
exciting only because diners are coming to the.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Table being like we want to play with you.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, and having options is beyond right. Fashion is one
of the most fun like outside of acting. It's my
other gag where I'm just like, it's a blast. It's storyteller.
I always have to tell stories in my clothes. And
I always love to be timeless, like this stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
This is me off day.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, I'm looking pictures on the wall at the Tower
of Glamour, shots of people I have.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I have Turner classic movies on my TV, like it's
the news, that's my CNN.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
It's always on. I'll be watching them.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
That's how I like wind down from the night, especially
when I'm filming, and like in all this right, it's chaos.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Organized chaos is your favorite that you love since this
classic movie.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I always have to have in the rotation either head
burns because the acting, but also the fashion. Yeah, Sophia
Lawren always has to be in the rotation. I love
Spencer Tracy. Then I gotta get in my musicals. I
gotta get a Fred Astaire or something I love them,
Frank Sinatra's and something and a lot of times I
(03:41):
will freeze frame and freeze right, but pause and then
be like, take a screenshot of the dress and send it.
Shelly McClain, What a way to go?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
What a way to go? Okay, I've not seen this.
I need to see this. I'm an old movie.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
For the fashion alone. There is a ten minute fashion sequence.
It's just her pulling up in a car getting out
with the new husband.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Bah, what a way to go? Okay, the fashion is unreal.
What a way to go? So okay, we don't know yet.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, I don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And when you said I love jewelry, yes, drip, well
to me, like you can be the simpler their dress.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Drip drip. Yeah, did you hear that?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Neil Lane? Neil Lane is a buddy of mine. Neil
Lane's very good buddy of mine. Oscar night you win?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Is it? Memorize? Improvise? No cards?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I think I do not trust myself. Well, sometimes what
happens is there's like this internal quaking that's going on.
You know, like I don't know if you're into yoga
or not, but like you know, like the fire bread,
like imagine like a quick internal fire breath. You're like
tremmering inside and it's resonating through your body. So that's
(05:16):
where a card could be good. But then a card
if you're shaking trying to catch the words. So I
think at a certain point people are just like forget
it and then start going off script. So I think
I will write something down, I will have it. I
will probably start shaking and probably halfway through go off script.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I feel from just us being together, and just also
you have something that comes so naturally out of you,
that eminates such strength and power. And even though all
that's I'm sure the most overwhelming thing, I would hedge.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's just gonna.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I really pray so and I pray that I don't
cry only because I want to cry afterwards, because I want.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
To get the words out.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
You're trying. You know what it is to a room,
It's unnatural. I've never experienced it before. Of like when
a room just erupts and like cheering. I almost said yelling,
but it feels like it. But yelling and clapping it
throws off your equal liberty. So your body is like
and you're trying to then get up there and say
(06:21):
something eloquent and beautiful. You're trying to like come your
like nervous system to then at.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Least the good news is your category is in the beginning.
You just do it. Take the shoes, relast, enjoy the show.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, So okay, a guilty pleasure, just something
I mean, maybe it's the movies, maybe it's TM.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeahs shopping. You and I should hang out. Jewelry and
shopping my.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Favorite eating, traveling. I love shopping abroad. So like I
have an upcoming London slash Paris hopefully do you know
someone with a jet.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
With a jet.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, Okay, we need to talk after this because I
need to go to the Gucci show.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, but the Gucci show. I don't want to be boogie.
That's not my jets.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
But yeah, because the Gucci for everybody to go to
the Gucci show, what is my life now on the
twenty third, the very next day is sack. There is
no domestic plane that can get me back in time
to go to the Gucci show.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You have to fly overnight after the Gucci like.
Speaker 3 (07:26):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
