Jessica Capshaw (15:52)
Moment that made me laugh the hardest. I don't think I knew how absurdly ridiculous Jess found the word fart. This was a surprise to me, you guys. And the fact that she's like on the floor tickled by this word gets me every time. I don't know, it's like, Jess is like, so you know her. She's like so chic. Okay, you guys, even in real life, it's super annoying. Like I'll roll out of bed and like meet up with her for something and I will literally look like I've slept in, you know, the backyard and the sprinklers have been turned on. Like that's how I'm rolling up to her and she'll be like, oh God, I just got out of the shower and she's like, still annoyingly glowing. So it's just really funny to me that fart is like her trigger happy word and it still makes me giggle when I hear her giggle. What I've learned in the first year of this podcast not to overthink stuff in the early first few, you know, episodes, I I wasn't overthinking It, I was, you know, I, I, I went into it thinking like, okay, let's just be real. Me and Jess have a conversation and, and see how this goes. But I wondered if people would really even listen. And I think you can get in your head when you're thinking in that way. And very quickly I learned to drop that and just be in the moment. And so I think that that is, that's what I've learned the most in the first year. What was it like having my husband on, you guys? I really, I actually really had a lot of fun with him on. And I think that you guys got to hear we're so private, and we've never done an interview together, so it's the first time that you guys even, you know, we, we do, it's interesting because we do a lot of interviews with co stars, right? Like, you've heard me and Chris Carmack talk together a million times or all these other people on Grey's Anatomy. And you get a sense of, like, that chemistry behind the scenes and the friendship and, you know, things that make you laugh about together and inside jokes and all those things, but you never really do that with your family. And so to have Matt on and for you guys to get a little insight into our married life, some people joked in the comments, like, this is like a therapy session for you. Get to get to be in, like, couples therapy with us was just really fun. And, and I, and I, I love that you guys got to, got to know, like, a different side of me because obviously you're seeing me talk to my husband and it's a little bit different. Like, the chemistry is going to be different than me talking to Jess. So I thought that was actually, like, a really fun episode. And I do think we should, I joke that we will never have him back on, but we will definitely have to have have him back on. I do think that we should also do an episode with Chris Carmack and his wife Aaron, if you guys don't follow them on social media. They're so funny, you guys. And I think the four of us together, because, you know, we know each other well in real life would be really fun. Okay, what guess would I love for season two? I think that some of you could guess this, and I know you're gonna laugh. I need a UFO alien expert, you guys. I really think that, like, call it what it is in the crew could crack some of the secrets to the universe in a podcast episode. And Jess is gonna, like, eye roll her way through some of it maybe, but And I'm not talking about, like, someone in there. We get someone who's like, you know, in their basement with some janky telescope they've got off Amazon and they've decided that they're now a UFO expert. I'm talking about, like, who was head of the CIA during Roswell. Are they still alive? I don't know. But if they are, they gotta come and call it what it is, because I have a list of questions, you know. I do. So really, for me, aliens are going to be. Aliens need to be a big time episode for season two. And what episode would I recommend to a brand new listener? I took some time thinking about this question and I kept just thinking, like, I think that Jess and I, you know, and naturally this happens anytime you start something new. You sort of get in more of a rhythm and you kind of find your flow more as you go along. And I definitely think that we've gotten that as the podcast, you know, as we've been recording more episodes through the year. But I still think starting at the beginning is a good start because I think you really get the backstory in that very first episode of how this friendship between us started. And I think starting at the beginning and going through this journey with us, going through all the episodes that way in the order that we sort of did them, I don't know. Hopefully you can hear the growth in the podcast too, and like how the, how the crew comes along with us on the journey. I mean, there's definitely so many episodes you can jump in and listen to and it's all going to make sense and hopefully they're going to be fun or you'll laugh with us or you'll cry with us. But I almost feel like that first episode, you know, we were, we were so excited to start something new. And you can hear that, and we're still so excited. But, you know, there's a lot of foundation building that we do in that first episode. But all of this is to say that we've. We're referencing this first year as our season one, and we cannot wait. We feel like we're just getting started. We can't wait for season two. We can't wait for you guys to tell us who you want to see on the podcast. We've already had so many incredible guests on our first year. It's honestly blown my mind. But we want to hear more from you and we want to build on this community and continue this magic that we feel. It's honestly so fun every time I get on and there are days when I'm tired, right, and I'm like, I need another cup of coffee or damn, I want to, you know, like, I just need to take a nap right now. But I gotta go do the podcast. I've come away from the podcast feeling reinvigorated, happier, excited for you guys to hear it or even sometimes like, you know, when we kind of talk about more serious things and we've cried on the podcast. I come away feeling almost like a therapy session, really, with you guys. And then to hear all your response back, I just, I really hope that you guys can hear in our voices how much this means to us. So with that said, I'm going to call at the end of the episode and I'm so excited. Please stick around for season two of Call it what It Is.
