00:00Timothy May, it's good to see you.
00:04Hey man, what's happening?
00:05Hey, I was just reading about you, that you were in a very infamous commercial, the Folgers
00:09commercial over Christmas.
00:11Oh no, I wasn't in it.
00:13I like ran the, I like session directed the auditions for like the Folgers incest commercial.
00:22This is like back when I first moved to LA when I was just like trying to get regular
00:26jobs.
00:27And it turned out that it, everybody thought the brother and sister were going to fuck.
00:31So it's been like a legendary commercial that I just happened to like work a couple days
00:36on for the casting.
00:38That is hilarious.
00:39I was just, I watched it and yeah, I definitely get that impression too.
00:42Did you get that impression while shooting it that man, this is going to go viral in
00:46a bad way?
00:47Absolutely no.
00:48No, no.
00:49It just seems sweet.
00:50Everybody, everybody was like, Oh, look at this nice family.
00:52Right.
00:53And I felt like the actors that are in it are incredible.
00:55They're really talented.
00:56They're great.
00:57But I mean, this shoot is like 10 years ago and they've done like, they've done like oral
01:03histories of it.
01:05And like people still bring it up every year, every Christmas.
01:09It's like we all get to get together as a family and talk about an incest commercial.
01:14Last thing, would you be down to like run it back and like we need to update the commercial
01:17to 2024, 2025?
01:18I think, I mean, that's above my pay grade.
01:22I mean, if they need like a casting, like assistant to run the camera for the casting
01:27sessions, let me know.
01:28I'd be glad to jump back in.
