0:00I'm good man. So you guys you're on set obviously you're working right now. Actually in the car. Oh, okay. Gotcha Okay, so this is well since we don't too much time Let's get rid into this getting it printed the week of the Thanksgiving Day episodes So you know if you give me any spoilers for the next couple weeks is not gonna be a big deal at all But but I kind of want I kind of wanted to start With you getting the role which I guess would be just shortly after flash forward probably ended Did you know flash forward was on its way out or did you find out because they said maybe you should do happy endings?

1:48Yeah, it was a cool concept. It was it was too bad. It couldn't I don't know but I guess it worked up for you pretty well Yeah, so you said you said they did you not even audition for the role they just wanted you and you just said okay And how is it how is that sort of which part changed for you flash forward or Dave now forward right?

2:44The Jewish kid, okay Well, how has the character room because obviously now you're in the third season and and you must be a lot more comfortable You know the character you know Dave pretty well the writers now know Dave pretty well You know David's not writing I guess and the writing team not writing a new character you have you have this guy now So how has that changed?

3:36And now it's kind of moving back from what I hear about this season not but not not the lack of humor But more you and Alex or you and Alicia rather Yeah, you know they Are you and Alicia doing together now you're obviously getting to play off each other a lot more than you probably used to

4:48What why is that what what what have they brought today that that makes you so happy about it more humor more? Are you more of a focal point of the show? I mean, you know it's an ensemble show. I heard you didn't like the love triangle angle as much last season

5:52You could you were kind of hoping to get rid of that and you must be glad that that happened as well speaking about the actor brain

6:38So what's your process when you get a script? Do you have a place that you read it? Do you read it immediately? Do you highlight your lines? How do you go through a script? Well, what is there any improv scenes that you were surprised that maybe made it into the the final cuts from last season that people would recognize?

7:58At least for your character? I guess we're going back away now Well speaking about your own language. Let's go there. Let's go to the Thanksgiving day episode because I hear your 1 16th Navajo as we learned a couple I think it was this season on the show, but but I hear you kind of go up into your own thing I guess what will be next week's episode Dave manages to experience the entire plight of the native

8:56How do you how is that for you as a challenge because you want it you kind of you wanted to play it funny? Obviously, but you also want to you know give give the culture some respect as well So that's got to be a happy a weird balance to try and do and so if that's the a story the episode of b-story here is this reality

10:13Show where you are really bad on camera as we've learned from the commercial at that one point and you got this crazy wig and everything So why don't you talk about that for a second? Yeah, so the story of the episode is that The gang
