An iHeartRadio podcast.
Camille Luddington
Foreign crew. And welcome to another episode of Call it what It Is. Can you hear my dogs?
Jessica Capshaw
No.
Camille Luddington
Okay, good, because I have four of them in the background and they've probably seen like Some, you know, a leaf blowing by. They decided that's a threat to the house.
Jessica Capshaw
I feel like you've had a lot of dog content lately. I've noticed on your Instagram account I have you looking on. Are you looking for a dog deal? Are you putting out any content?
Camille Luddington
Any. You know what? Yes.
Jessica Capshaw
You want to start selling some dog beds?
Camille Luddington
Do you know how much I'm spending on my dogs? Any deal.
Jessica Capshaw
That's why I think a deal with Kibble.
Camille Luddington
Whatever. Whatever I can get for those dogs that I don't have to pay for, I'll do.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. Yes. Well, you know, the dog. The dog industry is like a billion dollar industry. I've thought about getting in on that. I could do some dog business. Why not? I love my dogs.
Camille Luddington
Yeah, you love your dogs.
Jessica Capshaw
You love my dog. I have doodles.
Camille Luddington
Can I tell you what I read about doodles?
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, of course you can.
Camille Luddington
Do you know. Okay. So I've seen this thing on Tick Tock where people are, like, positive. It's not. I've seen this thing on Tick Tock where people are, like, the worst. The top breeds that I would like. They're like a vet or something. They're like that. They would never, ever get amazing and always are the. The doodles. They're in there. Jess.
Jessica Capshaw
I love my doodles.
Camille Luddington
I know. Your doodles are pretty well behaved, though, or, like, exceptionally well behaved. Apparently. There's a lot of unhinged doodles. Oh, I'm not in the world.
Jessica Capshaw
No. Well, I have one doodle that's very refined, and if he had a. His dog voice sounds like. Yeah, maybe like your dad. He's a little like Martin Ludington.
Camille Luddington
He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we've said this. And Cal's a little out of control.
Jessica Capshaw
He's a surfer dude.
Camille Luddington
Yes. But I'm talking dogs that are like, you know, it's almost like a rabid situation.
Jessica Capshaw
Like, they might be dumb. Like, dumb. Dumb.
Camille Luddington
Not dumb. Just like, rebellious.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh. Like oppositional defiance disorder.
Camille Luddington
Sure.
Jessica Capshaw
They're like, I'm not coming. I'm going.
Camille Luddington
They. I mean, they're untrainable. I'm just. I'm just telling you what I've seen on the talk.
Jessica Capshaw
Okay. Yeah, no, I. But I see that. I see that. Well, I had. I ran into a golden retriever the other day, and I locked eyes with this golden retriever, and I thought, I need a golden retriever. But it's the hair. The reason why I'm in the doodle business is because the hair shedding is Just. I have four children. I'm gonna add a lot of hair being shed and all over my house.
Camille Luddington
Yeah. I don't know. That's. I have a lot of cream for a reason.
Jessica Capshaw
Cream?
Camille Luddington
Yes. Because I like cream. Sofa. Like, a lot of, like. Because, like, that way I can't see the 2 inches of, like, Casper hair. Cause Casper is, like, a lot of retriever.
Jessica Capshaw
Yes. Yeah.
Camille Luddington
You can't have.
Jessica Capshaw
I mean, the dogs. The dogs. Well, I like your dog content, and I think you should keep it going. And I think that anyone listening that is in you know, charge of ad dollars for any kind of dog. Yeah. They should really reach out to you.
Camille Luddington
Send them. Yes, just send me the dollars.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camille Luddington
You. Speaking of your puppies.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camille Luddington
You've moved to Nashville. Have you put any of the dogs on the plane with you?
Jessica Capshaw
And.
Camille Luddington
No.
Jessica Capshaw
No, they don't go to Nashville. You know, it's a. It's a. It's a. Dare I say. Because it sounds a little bananas. I live in New York, and I commute.
Camille Luddington
Commute to Nashville. I know, but I didn't know if you did, like, a bark. Have you heard of Bark Air?
Jessica Capshaw
I have heard of Bark Air.
Camille Luddington
Oh, my God.
Jessica Capshaw
But also, can't you just basically take dogs on the plane now anyways?
Camille Luddington
Yeah, but bar care is different. Like, if you. This is not an ad for Barcaire, and I've never done bar care.
Jessica Capshaw
But if you'd like to pay her, she will take your dog, fly it.
Camille Luddington
All over the show. I'll fly it all over the world. They. When you get on the. The dogs fly first.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camille Luddington
They get treats when they get on, like, some sort of, like, caviar situation. You are. I'm not kidding.
Jessica Capshaw
No.
Camille Luddington
Yes.
Jessica Capshaw
Dogs even like caviar.
Camille Luddington
I don't know. It's like, It's. They're exceptional treats. There's some sort of dog chef in the back, like, whipping stuff up, and they get. They get on the plane, and you. They're basically bringing you on the flight.
Jessica Capshaw
You're there. You're their plus one.
Camille Luddington
You're the plus one on Barcair. Yes.
Jessica Capshaw
You're the unaccompanied minor.
Camille Luddington
Yeah. I'm just suggesting.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camille Luddington
I'm just suggesting if you feel like Gus needs to come with you to Nashville, you got to do a little, you know.
Jessica Capshaw
Wow. Okay. All right. Yeah. Okay. Well, we're not there. We're not there because we're back and forth. We're back and forth, and it's summertime and the kids are out of school. So, you know, like today, earlier, I had Eve jump on because she really wanted to see Camila first. She's about to go off to camp, so we got a lot of comings and goings. And, you know, every episode of television is different. Sometimes you're working a ton in an episode, and sometimes you're not. And so for when I'm working, I'm there, and I'm present and I'm in, and it's awesome. And then when I'm not working, instead of living my life in Nashville, where I don't live, although I have. I have. Turns out I have so many friends there, I have just been coming home. So it's actually so far been knocking on all the wood, but really great. But I did go there with my moving mindset on, and I actually.
Camille Luddington
What does that mean?
Jessica Capshaw
I'm gonna tell you. So I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but as the daughter of an actress, my mom was always doing movies. And at the time, movies were all wherever they were meant to take place. So we were in Sri Lanka and London making Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. She was in Japan making this movie with Michael Douglas called Black Rain and Andy Garcia. I didn't go there for that. But then, you know, it was all over the place, is the point. Like. And so I would just be. I would come along for the ride. And because of that, I went to probably something like, it sounds. It sounds good, and I think it's pretty much accurate, which is, like, I went to probably 13 different schools before I was 13. And then at that point, I was like, mom, like, we gotta. We gotta. We gotta, like, we gotta lay some roots here. So we did stay in Los Angeles, and I really sort of like, rooted from seventh grade on. So seventh through 12th, I was in Los Angeles, but I moved around a lot is the point. And my mom was always really good at setting up these temporary homes, and so I feel kind of comfortable doing that. And now in my own life, I move around a lot. And so I have, like, a mindset that I get into when I go to a new place. And I love going to new places, and it pretty much follows my interests. So I get to know a new city based on what I like the most. So the number one thing that I like the most is food. So I just. I go on all the websites that I trust or all the different blogs or vlogs and all the things to see, sort of like where the best food is. And usually the best food I have found is in the neighborhoods that I'm interested in. So I'll find. Like, I'll plot my course. And so when I landed in Nashville, I had a fitting that day, but I knew I had, like, two or three hours. And a friend of mine who's been living there for the past four years said, oh, you gotta go check out this restaurant called APIs, and it's on 12th Avenue South. And I was like, okay, great. And I went, and I got lunch, and I. And then I just walked. And you just learn all these different new neighborhoods. So I'd gotten a piece of that, and then I'd gone.
Camille Luddington
I have a question then.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camille Luddington
So are you kind of saying that you almost pick a neighborhood around the restaurant?
Jessica Capshaw
I mean, ish.
Camille Luddington
To walk to it? Like, I'm thinking right now, like, I. I love in and out here. Like, do I need to be moving?
Jessica Capshaw
You need to be closer.
Camille Luddington
Do I need to move to a place that's closer to a walking in and out for my cheese fries?
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, you might. You might.
Camille Luddington
I've never heard of this.
Jessica Capshaw
I'm known for planning an entire day based on a free day. Yeah. Like, where do I want to go to lunch? And where do I want to go to dinner?
Camille Luddington
Wait, no, that does make sense. I have traveled with you.
Jessica Capshaw
Exactly. See?
Camille Luddington
No, no, this makes sense. And it's. By the way, it's the most delicious traveling I could ever do.
Jessica Capshaw
Okay. So I first triangulate where all the good food is, and then I kind of get to understand the neighborhoods better.
Camille Luddington
What's the food in Nashville? No, like, what is it known for?
Jessica Capshaw
Barbecue. Oh, barbecue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's delicious. But there's also a bunch of other really great restaurants, so. Barbecue. So I kind of, like, would just look around the different neighborhoods, and I like walkability and also knowing that because, you know, because I live in New York and I have a whole home set up that's, you know, all the things that I need here. Going somewhere new where, you know, you're only working, it's kind of a different set of. Or it could be a different set of needs. Right. Like, I don't know my hours. So I have different things that I need to tick off. Like, I. And I also don't know if I'm gonna have so much time in between. So I ended up going all around town, and I ended up picking a neighborhood to live in that. To set up an apartment in that felt like I could get food number one, food number two, that was near that I could walk around in and. And be super happy and grab, you know, a. You know, there was a grocery store somewhere nearby and there was also some stores to kind of walk around and peruse. And sometimes when you want to be mindless and just amble and then exercise places like, where can you go grab a class and do the thing that you need to do to move the body?
Camille Luddington
I gotta tell you, that's the. That I never. I understand the food, the exercise class. People know this. Cuz, you know, at this point, everyone knows I'm a little slothy.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camille Luddington
Is not ever on my radar.
Jessica Capshaw
Not even kind of. Not even a.
Camille Luddington
Not even a little bit. Like, if it happens to land near me, I'm like, oh, there you are.
Jessica Capshaw
Do you go to any exercise classes?
Camille Luddington
I have recently. I have. I have recently.
Jessica Capshaw
The amount of concentration that she put into thinking about that answer to answer. Then we're about to do a whole.
Camille Luddington
Short and sweet on this, by the.
Jessica Capshaw
Way, so you're gonna have not much to contribute.
Camille Luddington
Well, no, that's not. That's not fair. Say, I've been alive for 41 years, so I've seen. I've seen a class in my day, but it's just not on my moving radar. I'll tell you what I like to do when I move, I need. No, I need two things in my house or my apartment or whatever that are very important to me. I need a candle that smells like pumpkin spice. I don't care what time of year it is.
Jessica Capshaw
Huh. This go. This tracks with your Halloween love.
Camille Luddington
This is true. I need a cozy throw. Those are the two things. And then it makes me feel like I'm a little bit at home. Like, those are my two homey essentials.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, I have. My list is so much longer.
Camille Luddington
Tell me.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, okay, so I. I found the place and then I go in and I. It was furnished. But then I'm like, I can. I think I'm on like the home. The home.
Camille Luddington
Hgtv.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. I think I've got my own show.
Camille Luddington
Yeah, yeah, of course you do.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's a camera on me. And I'm. And I have some genius, or not genius moves to be made and that there will be some sort of grading at the end of the process. Like that's how seriously I take it. And then I move furniture around. I get rid of some. I put some in. And then in this case, there was a run to, you know, a megastore in order to get some throws. I went to my favorite candle shop and got some Candles. I. Because, you know, it's going to be a minute that I'm there. I'm a little bit of a. I'm particular about my bedding. Oh, yeah?
Camille Luddington
What do you need?
Jessica Capshaw
There was a trip to get a Naturepedic mattress topper, so I got a mattress topper.
Camille Luddington
What is it about the nature's pedics that you.
Jessica Capshaw
There's something. You know, I try not to think of it if it's not for that long. I am always a little bit amazed that people aren't more freaked out about sleeping on beds that 5 million other people have slept on. Does that not freak you out at all?
Camille Luddington
No, I know we. I think we've talked about this in. In when we've traveled together. I do not. I don't have that feeling I could. You know.
Jessica Capshaw
You never saw the show where they bring the blue light in and they get. Look at all the stains on the.
Camille Luddington
Oh, my.
Jessica Capshaw
I'm just curious. Did you ever see that?
Camille Luddington
No. I mean, I know what the blue light is because, you know, I love a Dateline, but, like, that's. I'm not gonna blue light. I'm gonna blue light a crime scene. I don't need to know if my bed's a crime scene. What? Because what are you gonna do? Like, if. If. Say you're gonna do what I did.
Jessica Capshaw
You'Re gonna take a trip to Naturepedic and you're gonna order yourself.
Camille Luddington
That's true. Okay. Okay.
Jessica Capshaw
Sateen, white sheets and a nice little comfy duvet, and you're gonna put yourself together.
Camille Luddington
But what are you doing when you just travel in a hotel? You're not.
Jessica Capshaw
No, no. If it's a couple nights, I. I'm just gonna. I'm not. I'm gonna. I'm gonna compartmentalize.
Camille Luddington
You're gonna. You're okay with the crime scene, I'm.
Jessica Capshaw
Okay with the crime scene. And I'm just gonna hope it doesn't do too much damage.
Camille Luddington
Yeah, that makes sense. Okay. What is something that you thought, like, you had, like, in your mind, like, oh, this is what Nashville is going to be like. And then now that you're there, you're like, oh, no, that's this.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, my first visit to Music Row. Like, my first visit down to Broadway and where all the, you know, cuddle pubs and. And the honky tonks are. And it's a lot.
Camille Luddington
It's a little Vegasy.
Jessica Capshaw
They don't like it when you say that.
Camille Luddington
Oh, they don't.
Jessica Capshaw
The people of Nashville do not like a comparison. To Las Vegas. No, they don't.
Camille Luddington
Oh, my God. Well, thank God I did it here, you know, in the comfort of my home. If I was out the.
Jessica Capshaw
Safe place. Safe place. Safe place.
Camille Luddington
Oh, my God. What is it about the comparison? Do you know what it is?
Jessica Capshaw
I think, because Nashville proper. Well, first of all, Nashville proper is a very progressive, incredibly culturally rich and steeped in music. Town, city. And so there's, like, real talent and history and culture to the place. And, yes, there's these. You know, again, there's the kind of. I do think, like, bachelorette parties have become something very popular to do there, but it's not the main event. And I think that that's the part that seems a little bit more Vegasy, but it's really. Again, it's not.
Camille Luddington
It's almost like the Vegas thing, like, cheapens it.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, yeah.
Camille Luddington
It makes it seem like it's just.
Jessica Capshaw
For debauchery or, you know, like, wild nights of drinking, dancing, whatever. And really, Nashville has so much to offer and all these different incredible neighborhoods and. And you can go into the pocket, these different pockets, and you get different things that. In that way, it kind of reminds me of Los Angeles because they are. You know, it's all connected by highways, but. But you can really drive 20 minutes and be in a really different part of Nashville. But downtown Nashville surprised me. I had not conjured in my mind's eye what I thought it was gonna look like, but it surprised me. And the first time I went, I just went in a car and we just drove down the street on a Saturday night. And I have been not surprised, just very happy that everything that I'd heard about Nashville was true in this way, which is that people are so welcoming, so welcoming, so kind, so excited to have the show there. And it's been really nice. Like, everyone's just really, really nice. So nice. Sometimes, to get back to the exercise class, even though I know it's not your favorite topic, I signed up for a class, and, you know, normally you can just, like, slip into a class and you're, like, random. You know, they put you on reformer number 29, and you're just a person in the class. Nope, not in Nashville. In Nashville, I walked in, and it was, like, a Saturday morning, and I probably was trying to, like, slink in and just, like, get to my reformer and do whatever it was I needed to do. Whatever. And the woman's got the. You know, the microphone that's really close to her mouth. The Britney mic, the Britney Mike. Yes. She's Got the pretty mic and I walk in and she just zeros in on me and I'm like, oh, no, no, I don't really want to be seen. And she's like, hello. And I was like, hi.
Camille Luddington
I'm just going to go. I'm going to be backyard.
Jessica Capshaw
Okay. I. Is this your first time?
Camille Luddington
Oh, God, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh. What's your name? Jessica. Welcome to class.
Camille Luddington
Oh, my.
Jessica Capshaw
She talked to me through that entire class.
Camille Luddington
Oh, my God, this is so. Wait, do you. Is there a part of you that thinks that she recognized that you're Jessica Capshaw and she honed in or.
Jessica Capshaw
I don't know.
Camille Luddington
I know this is the thing. Sometimes I just.
Jessica Capshaw
I don't know. All I know is that she told me it was my own personal class.
Camille Luddington
It was your own personal class.
Jessica Capshaw
She told me I was crushing it. And by the way, I know I wasn't.
Camille Luddington
That's nice, though. I, like, I felt it was nice as well.
Jessica Capshaw
And you know, my love language is words of affirmation, so I was plenty welcomed and heartened by the. By the. By the environment and situation.
Camille Luddington
Is there any part of you that has had like a moment where you're like, I don't belong here in Nashville? Yeah. Where you're like, I'm. This is. Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
No, no, not. I mean, no, no, it's been. No, it's so, so. Oh, it's hot. She's real hot. She's real hot. She's real hot and humid. Sometimes I think my hairstyles think that they don't belong there because you try and do your hair in like the air conditioned trailer and then you walk out and it's like.
Camille Luddington
It's like, this is. This is. Yeah, this is what I'm going to be doing today. I know, it's fine. You know what I do love? Have you had a good storm?
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, my God, so many. And this is new to me. Lightning a lot. You know, when you're on sets, you've got generators.
Camille Luddington
Oh, yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
That trailers. And you've got all these things that, you know, conduct electricity. So. Yeah. When there's lightning detected in your neighborhood, you literally shut down. No, It's a mandatory 30 minute lightning delay. And so did you just stop and then you wait for it to pass and then you can.
Camille Luddington
Oh, my God, that's so. I never thought about that In Los Angeles. I feel like we're dealing with a lot of like, oh, there's another police helicopter above me. Yeah. For the 20th time. Never. I've never had to shut down because of lightning. That's really. That's crazy.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, it has been really crazy. With summer in full swing, I feel that familiar urge to refresh my closet. But I'm trying not to waste money on pieces I'll only wear once or for just one season.
Camille Luddington
That's where Quince comes in. Their clothes are timeless, feel luxurious, look elevated, and the quality is way beyond what you'd expect for the price. It's the kind of wardrobe upgrade that just clicks.

We got a question. And it actually made me laugh a bit. And then I. I felt kind of bad for laughing at this question. Someone wants to know if you've had a good cry yet. And I'm sure.
Jessica Capshaw
Have I had a good cry?
Camille Luddington
Oh, sometimes when I move, I do. I feel like there is a moving. A mandatory moving cry. Like you're in your. You're in your space and you're so happy to be there, but there's just. I feel like it's like the newness and the vulnerability and it's. There's the moving cry. Do you know what I'm talking about or not?
Jessica Capshaw
I know.
Camille Luddington
I do.
Jessica Capshaw
I do, I do.
Camille Luddington
And it doesn't mean that you're not happy. Yeah, it's almost like a release of like so many emotions and you're in a new spot and it's like this. I'm gonna have a moving cry tonight.
Jessica Capshaw
I think I haven't because, you know, there have been places that I've moved before where, you know, I mean, moving from Los Angeles to New York four years ago, you. That's a permanent, permanent move. So it's like you're really thinking to yourself, there's. It's multi layered because you've actually got a little doubt in there. Right. Like, was this right?
Camille Luddington
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
Should I have done this? It's because of work and you're. I'm mostly working, so it feels a little bit different. This feels like a move.
Camille Luddington
Light.
Jessica Capshaw
Where I just get to kind of come and get all the best of it, and then I get to do.
Camille Luddington
My work and then you get to go back.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camille Luddington
All right. I need to know some behind the scenes.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, yes, you are.
Camille Luddington
Because this is. We gotta talk. 91 1.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camille Luddington
So far in the cast, who do you think you've bonded with the most?
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, that's a good question.
Camille Luddington
I know it's early days, right? So it's like you haven't had a lot of time to spend with everybody.
Jessica Capshaw
We've been filming now for six weeks, and my first work was with Michael, who plays our son.
Camille Luddington
Okay.
Jessica Capshaw
And I adore him. He. I. I feel so, so lucky to have such a talented and kind and just awesome person to work with. And it's a lot of getting to know you so learning about his life. And there's a lot of, you know, the way that we chit chat by the. By the. By the chairs in between. In between things. And the first day that we worked, you know, we. We just. There's a lot of. We talked about this a little bit before when we were talking about the plane crash episode. We were doing the recap and we were saying how most of our Grey's life was on a studio, and so going on location was very different for us. Right now, this show is mostly on location, so we're always in different places. And so there's always just what we were talking about. There's lightning that's coming. There's weather that's coming. There's a rain shower.
Camille Luddington
I feel like this is such a good way to get to know the city, though, too. I just realized.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. Yeah. And it's incredible. I mean, you know, there's Nashville proper, but then as you go out, you get into. Into the more rural areas and you get into, like, Franklin and Leapers Fork, and they're the most beautiful. Just like rolling green hills and these farms and. And it. It is. It could not be more beautiful, but so I worked on Michael, the. The. You know, right off the bat. And then Chris, who I also adore and have known for a really long time.
Camille Luddington
Yeah, you've worked with him before. Does it. You have worked with him before, right? You guys on the Practice with him.
Jessica Capshaw
I worked on the practice with him, and I. Oh, gosh. I mean, I remember feeling like a baby actress, and I remember feeling like he was not a baby actor. He was accomplished, and I'd seen so many movies he'd done that I love so much. I don't. Do you guys Remember Circle of Friends with Minnie Driver? Circle of Friends? Is that what it's called? Circle?
Camille Luddington
But I remember Batman and Robin.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, of course you do. But there was a movie he did with Minnie Driver that was so. I remember being like super romantic and just like, I almost remember being it being a little Normal people like the.
Camille Luddington
Oh, cute. I love that.
Jessica Capshaw
The predecessor to a normal people vibes. He's so charming. He's just super charming and he's very funny and. And a real. I mean, he's been. He's a real professional.
Camille Luddington
Do you know who you're working with that I'm a huge fan of?
Jessica Capshaw
No.
Camille Luddington
Leanne Rhymes. Because Coyote Ugly was a moment.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camille Luddington
I was so obsessed with her. I read recently she talked about how her veneers fell out on stage at one of her concerts. Did we talk to you about this?
Jessica Capshaw
Yes. Well, no, I actually. So, you know, we're all getting to know each other and. And Leanne has had a concert schedule that's been published and I mean, she's got concerts to do, so she comes in and out as well. And so I follow her on socials and I actually, I saw her post about her veneers. Were they threatening to fall out or did they actually fall out and she had to like, put them back in and fall out. It made me. I think I even commented. It made me love her even more. It made me love her even more that she shared.
Camille Luddington
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
That it happened and what she did with it. And I think that it's actually, you know, I'm only six weeks into knowing her, but it actually probably says a lot, which is that she's just like, she's game. And here she is, you know, coming in and out and she's going to like. She literally did a show in Hawaii and then got on a plane and had like two connections to then arrive in Nashville at who knows what time in the morning and then woke up for, you know, a 5am call and then was having a fitting before she had hair and makeup. And then there we were in a scene. So, I mean, just. I love, I love the work ethic and I love the just like wanting to be there and being game and it's a really great group. So, I mean, again, going back, I worked with Michael first, then it was Chris. And then we have these two worlds happening where there's this emotional life and this family and then you have the squad, you have the firefighters. And we actually have had such great occasion to intermingle. And so I'm already completely Completely in love with Wani and Haley and it's just. And Hunter. It's been so, so much fun. So we're all in a group chat. We like to.
Camille Luddington
Oh, you're on. The. The chats happened. I love it.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, the chat's happened. The chat's happened. And I love Kimberly Williams Paisley so much.
Camille Luddington
I asked it on the pod. But by the way, I already know the answer to that question because I asked it for you guys listening. But I already know that you love her because you told me you love her.
Jessica Capshaw
I know I do. I've already had dinner with her multiple times. She and I have gone on a hike. She's so awesome. And she's. She is our. She's our 911. What's your emergency? Oh, she's the, the. Yeah, the part that like, you know, she's the. The operator.
Camille Luddington
Has she opened up to you about her voice disorder?
Jessica Capshaw
Yes, yes.
Camille Luddington
For those that are listening and don't know what. Can you explain?
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, yes. So she. So she was in. Her voice was in real peril. She thought she was not going to have a voice anymore. And so she had to go through a lot of discovery to basically figure out what was going on with her. And then.
Camille Luddington
Was it her vocal cords?
Jessica Capshaw
It was her vocal cords, but connected to a whole bunch of other stuff that I thought was fascinating. And I actually think she should come on and talk about it because I know that, you know, I know that it's. It was connected to something that I know is in everyone's life and, and, and, and would be certainly very relatable and fascinating because when I hear her talk about it, she also has got done the. I would not be doing it a service if I were to just explain it because I probably also just get it wrong. But she is a real authority.
Camille Luddington
That's very scary.
Jessica Capshaw
Yes. Yes.
Camille Luddington
Very, very scary.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camille Luddington
Okay, we have to have her on and talk about this more.
Jessica Capshaw
Yes, I know. And she's married to that cute Brad Paisley who's such an incredible musician. And then they have these two boys and just. I mean, they could not be. I couldn't be cuter. I. I adore her. But yeah, we've got a group chat happening. We've got. We've known each other long enough now to actually trust each other enough to get a little naughty. Like sometimes we'll just have a little. Have a little. Like. It's funny how when you get to.
Camille Luddington
Know people, are you doing like pranks? Are we talking about a behind the scenes pranking?
Jessica Capshaw
There's a, there's a, there's a, there's a People can be a little, a little naughty, but also just like, they're a little more free. Hey, can we talk about Plan B for a second? What exactly is it?

Jessica Capshaw
Have to say I had maybe what is a common recurring nightmare for most people happen to me on my first day of work. Despite all of my best efforts to get myself ready in all the ways and set my coffee maker and and and and set out all I even think I set out my outfit, my first day of work outfit. But I had my, my bag already packed. I had my work bag, I had my keys out, I had everything, everything, everything. I set my alarm, I set a and I go to sleep that night and I don't even think I slept all that well because I was aware of the fact that the alarm was going to go off. And then I finally do wake up and I look at my phone on my bedside table and my alarm did not go off and it is now 20 minutes before my call time and I am 15 minutes away from the studio and or the location and I have to take a shower. Like I'm someone who has to wash their hair in the morning before getting ready for all the things. So I fly out of bed with that the kind of like heart is in your throat type feeling. And I mean again, I don't like to, you know, underperform. I like to be there, especially on the first fucking day. And so I fly out of bed, I take this quickest shower I've ever taken in my life and then I get into the car and throw all my stuff in. Of course, inevitably, probably drop a couple of things, have to pick them up. It seems like the world is against me. I then center myself once I get into the car with my hands tended to and remind myself that I have lots of things to live for and four children and I cannot drive like an actual maniac to get there and I go off. I did actually, I did end up taking a four minute shower. I do believe I got a lot done in those four minutes. And clean and fresh, I head off to work and I think I ended up being like eight minutes late, which was a miracle. And nobody batted an eye and I was ready for camera. We know exactly when I was meant to be. I will say I don't have a ton of pictures because actually someone else was asking me about them. And I have been trying something. I know that this is a lot, people talk about this a lot. But it really, really has helped me. I have been practicing. I don't bring my phone into set. I mean, I will have my phone for hair and makeup because you're sitting there and you're whatever, getting emails out or looking at socials, blah, blah, blah. But when I go to set, I have like a very focused mindset. I keep saying this and it's because it feels incredibly true and also sort of different because I think I've mentioned, you know, I've kind of come in on other shows that weren't at the beginning of the show. And this is a beginning. And I've been really, really trying very hard to stay present for the beginningness of it all. Yeah. And, and I feel like our phones obviously still are focused. So I've been like, I haven't been taking a ton of pictures and I haven't been having my phone with me. So it's been, it's actually been great.
Camille Luddington
Wait, I, I, I think that this is going back a little bit. But I just realized your costume, it reminded me of something that I feel like people might not know. And it's Grey's Anatomy, Arizona. Related. On your very last episode, you wore a very specific piece of clothing. And I remember you telling me that the audience had been dying to. Arizona. Do you know what I'm gonna say? Yeah, I'll let you reveal it. But dying for Arizona to wear this one piece of clothing. And I'm not sure you ever did.
Jessica Capshaw
I didn't. Which was weird.
Camille Luddington
You never did, which is so weird. And then in the last episode, you requested it yourself. Can you tell a little bit about that since.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, but you did. So funny because you just said that and I completely forgot about that. And as soon as you said it, I was like, oh, yes. So I don't know what, how I knew it. It must have been like message boards or socials or whatever. But there was this like, big campaign almost. How have we not seen Arizona in a Plaid flannel. A plaid flannel shirt. And I was like, I don't know how we've never seen her in a plaid flannel shirt. She just never has. And so I ended up wearing my own. It was my own personal. Was it plaid flannel? I still have it.
Camille Luddington
Oh, my God. I just remember seeing you, and I remember that scene specifically and you being like, this is.
Jessica Capshaw
This is plaid by popular demand.
Camille Luddington
Yeah, totally. And I thought it was so interesting, and I thought it was so cute that you wore it in that last episode. That's yours.
Jessica Capshaw
I wear it in the scene when you're getting married and you come down.
Camille Luddington
And I come in.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Camille Luddington
And I smooch you.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. Smooches.
Camille Luddington
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, I did. I did. The wardrobe is so much fun. I mean, the wardrobe really. It says so much about you. And it's a very involved process. We definitely do not just, like, you know, slap some clothes on. I always think about Kerry Washington and Scandal and how involved she was in the costume design and how she would talk so much about the partnership between she and the costume designer, whose name I don't know. But I know that it was a really involved.
Camille Luddington
Oh, I didn't know that, actually.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. And also, like, the beginnings where she has the hat and she's got, like, there was. Her outfits were always so, like, sharp, and they said so much about her.
Camille Luddington
I'm so excited for this. I'm excited for the dress. I'm excited for all the naughty stories to come. I know there's a little trust fall situation happening over there.
Jessica Capshaw
I mean, behind the scenes, I'm a little sneaky sneaking into the. You know, I like. I like. I like country music.
Camille Luddington
And we are in love country music.
Jessica Capshaw
I know. I actually. I was saying to. To Leanne, I mean, again, how I think I sound when I sing and how I really sound when I sing are probably different. There's a disparity there. But it takes really a lot of confidence for someone like me to say to her, like, I feel like we need a karaoke scene with she and I.
Camille Luddington
Shut up. You pitched a karaoke.
Jessica Capshaw
Leanne and I.
Camille Luddington
So let me get this straight. Jessica Capshaw, who has joked that you really. The musical episode of Grey's Anatomy was like, you auditioned, and it didn't go so well. Well, you've pitched on your new show that you and Leanne Rimes will do a karaoke scene together. Are you out of your mind? Honestly.
Jessica Capshaw
Honestly, she's so kind. She would probably figure out a way to make herself, I'm gonna have to.
Camille Luddington
Like email her and be like, abort mission, dude. My God.
Jessica Capshaw
She'S so great.
Camille Luddington
I think this is where we end it.
Jessica Capshaw
