00:00 Let's talk about Douglas, naughty little character.
00:03 Was there whiplash going from Douglas to John Dutton every week?
00:07 You know, without a doubt, it was really weird because obviously John Dutton is a dark, powerful
00:14 force to say the least.
00:15 What Kevin and Taylor have built in that world is the exact opposite of Palme Royale.
00:20 Palme Royale is wildly fun and funny and it has this unusual level of complicated depth
00:28 that I think simmers underneath, but they couldn't be more different in the world.
00:34 But like Yellowstone, they both have a lot of pressure on them.
00:40 That people love Yellowstone and we want people to love Palme Royale, so we fought really
00:46 hard for the show to be great.
00:47 I think that's one very clear connection between them.
00:51 Everybody on both shows deeply, deeply cares about what they're doing.
00:55 This show is magnificent.
00:57 I mean, the cast, the plot, everything about it, the twists and turns.
01:01 I know that you and Kristen spoke about just wanting to talk your ear off with Carol.
01:06 Did you ever just want to hold her longer?
01:08 Like, "Okay, tell us one more story.
01:09 Tell us one more thing."
01:10 Look, the other night at dinner, we sat down and got her talking.
01:15 Carol's not hard to get talking and it's so special when she goes back and begins to tell
01:20 stories of her arriving in New York City in the 1950s and living in a one-room apartment
01:26 with five other girls on a cot when she lived in her grandmother's house and slept on a
01:31 couch for 20 years.
01:33 You hear these incredible, the iconographic element of who she is, but she is a rare,
01:39 rare, rare being.
01:40 Obviously to be her age, to do the work that she's doing, but the soul that she has and
01:45 the fact that she's signed every single autograph and every single, she's responded to every
01:50 single fan letter she's ever gotten.
01:52 And all the actors had stories of that they'd sent her something from theater camp in 1968
01:59 and they have the t-shirt that she signed to their theater camp, you know, stuff that's
02:03 just, it's like amazing.
02:04 So how many selfies did you get on set?
02:08 I was almost like over the top with them.
02:10 I'd be like, "Hey, Carol, can we?"
02:12 It was fun, yeah.
02:15 I feel like Palm Royale and just Hollywood have these parallels.
02:19 What would you say are the similarities between the two?
02:21 Well, the obvious one is the Oscars, right?
02:23 I mean, Palm Royale, the beach club, the balls, all of it, it is their Oscars and they have
02:29 these weird parties every week to try and figure out like who's the most glamorous,
02:32 who's the, and you know, everyone wants to be a part of it.
02:35 Everyone wants to win the beach ball and that's kind of what the story's about.
02:39 In the Palm Royale case, it's all kind of ridiculous, but there's the same sort of pressure,
02:45 there's the same sort of passion, there's the same sort of, you know, silliness that
02:49 goes into the over the top elements of it.
02:53 And I don't know, it's like, it's the Oscars of Palm Royale, or the Oscars of Palm Beach,
02:57 Florida in the 1960s.
02:58 Now, if you were part of a country club, what would the goss be about you?
03:02 That he doesn't want to be there?
03:07 Why are his pants that long?
03:09 He wants to be somewhere else.
03:11 Yeah, I wouldn't, I'm not exactly the country club type.
03:14 I'm happy to look the part tonight, but yeah.
03:17 She's like, I see you nodding your head.
03:20 You're like, yes, it can confirm.
03:21 Okay, I just have to know for us, how often do you make Josh re-watch Sweet Home Alabama?
03:28 Not once.
03:29 Not once?
03:30 And I'm team Patrick Dempsey.
03:32 From day one, she was like, oh, she's like, oh yeah, you were the other guy.
03:36 I know, I know.
03:37 And I was like, I always felt bad, she was like, I didn't like you, because I liked,
03:42 you like stole her from Patrick.
03:43 I was like, nah, it's...
03:44 Ongoing problem.
03:45 Oh my God.
03:46 The night you...
03:47 She actually watched one of it, like part of it once, and she fell asleep like 10 minutes
03:52 in and was still like, I'm still team Patrick.
03:55 That is the shocker of the night, ladies and gentlemen.
03:58 You guys have so much fun.
03:59 Hopefully something will revive the love between you guys.
04:03 Thank you so much for stopping.
04:06 Bye, guys.
