I LOVE that podcast with David! I think he truly loves those opportunities to just shoot the shit with REGULAR people. When he does those, he takes the « famous guy » hat off and just becomes David, the kid who grew up on the Lower East Side, played basketball and was a good student. Thanks for sharing it!
Things I LOVE about this podcast. Careful, it’s a long list.
You can hear when he answers that he was asleep…adorable
The host who talks about how he was late from army duty, ‘cause he was watching The X-files! –> Also, how David is GOING TO TELL THE STORY TO CC, LATER TODAY! HE WILL CALL HIM RIGHT AFTER THE SHOW!
They are in daily touch?! Nope. I’m not freaking out. It’s cool. All cool. *screaming inside.*
His excitement towards The X-files. The quote. He sounds positive and I really, really, really needed that.
“The bricolage internet world.”
How he doesn’t really pay attention to all the gifs, memes and such unless it tickles him;
How he wanted to be a professor, teach college level, take summer holidays and just write.
The fangirling of the podcast hosts over his thesis.
How he sees Mulder and Hank as the ‘Truth-Telling Characters’
“Mulder is extremely sincere”
His next book to read is Rachel Cusks new book – I believe, he means – Transit. Rachel Cusk is a London-based writer, whose novel, Outline, he recommended before.
Outline is a novel about women who are getting older and feel invisible. I love how he reads and recommends novels like this and I actually just order Outline two days ago…so yeah. Kudos to him for being so supportive. And it is such a weird coincidence, that I just read that article about Outline, couple of days ago… Anyway, back to business.
His reaction when Donald Trump’s book is mentioned and his opinion on him. And whoo, boy he has one!
How he is interested in the opinion of the others, he wants to hear what they think, because it is important!
How he can easily recall and quote from a scene he shot 8 years ago:
“Looks like there is a new Pope”
I imagine this must be how it feels when you have a chance to have a conversation with David Duchovny. He is humble, funny, intelligent, opinionated and interesting.
