alpha
titan testo ] I
think we need him to come into my office every day and read with everybody. And
so I said-- and so I just talked about the character, and initially he was this
kind of uptight guy. And I said, can you put on some weight? And he was like I
can put on 20 pounds in two weeks. And I was like, all right. You're still
going to be you. You're still going to look like you. So he told me a lot of
those guys, you know, they compete, and then they make a lot of their money,
and then they retire. And they're in such pain that they get-- they take a lot
of pills and they smoke weed and drink a lot because of all the pain. And I
went, oh, let's do that. So you're smoking weed and you're kind of high the
whole time. That works great. So when Barry shows up, you're a little confused,
you know? Like why is this guy in there, you know? And so that helped. But
yeah, I mean, the rest of that episode was just kind of like just following the
instinct and just a stream of consciousness of writing it. And going like, all
right, so he should walk into a room, and what's the worst thing that should be
in that room? Taekwondo trophy, you know? And yeah, but that one is definitely
one that I think surprised people. And then it played right after the Battle of
Winterfell. We're right after "Game of Thrones." So we're--
[LAUGHTER] So we go and see this "Game of Thrones" screening, Alec
and I do, and they had a Battle of Winterfell, like, at the Mann's Chinese
Theatre. And we go there and we're watching this, and we're like no one is
going to stick-- like we have to follow this? And then they have a little girl
with a knife jump on a guy and stab him, and Alec and I are like fuck, what the
fuck? [LAUGHTER] Like, how did we not-- what are the chances that a little girl
at 9 is just going to jump on the-- and we were like, oh, no. No. Thank God we
cut the scene where, yeah, we had a witch self-destruct. [LAUGHTER] ALAN
SEALES: Well-- BILL HADER: It just sucks, yeah. But anyway, it didn't seem to
bother people too much, I don't think. ALAN SEALES: No. No, I mean, it got--
its gotten the most critical acclaim out of all the episodes so far, I believe.
BILL HADER: That episode? ALAN SEALES: Yeah. BILL HADER: Well, you know what's
funny too is that we had the, what you call it, like "Game of
Thrones" started-- we started playing after "Game of Thrones"
after our third episode this season. And so then episode 3-- suddenly we had
like 2.5 million more viewers. And Alec and I had a funny text exchange going.
I go I don't think it's-- I think it's because people just got into the show. I
don't think it's anything-- I was asked of this text exchange at HBO where
Alec-- and they didn't realize that we were joking. They were like, no, no, no.
They were trying to be nice. Like, we're pretty sure it's Game of Thrones.
[LAUGHTER] And Alec
