Best Interview
Question Lukas: You just touched one topic there, that you interview couple of people from the MASH: Jamie, Alan Alda will be on next podcast (46), Lorreta, Mike…For both of you which one was nicest interview?
Ryan: I let you go first Jeff
Jeff: laughs, thanks a lot
Ryan: I’ve got mine, but I want hear your first
Jeff: This won’t be heard by anyone right Lukas, no one will hear it
Lukas: No no don’t worry. Ryan: laughs in background
Jeff: Ok that is good thank you
All: laughs
Jeff: Well, eh ok… I will do this diplomatically as I can – all of the people that we’ve interviewed who were cast members are really special and very important to me, all of them are people that I knew for 9-10 years and still do, so that kind of bond and friendship is pretty amazing and I’m grateful to I have it. Everyone has their own personality and I enjoy each one of them for who they are and for how they act in the world. I love them dearly every single one of them.
It would be hard to say there is a favorite, I do not have necessary favorite person there but…You know unmistakable that Alan Alda would sort of be somebody who would you really have a special feeling for, simply because he is a special guy and he has real tremendous talent that is engaging and translates on so many different levels to so many different people that is really amazing. I’ve got to know him over the 9 years I was there, I got to know his family, so having him on the show on the podcast is very special for me, and I noticed for Ryan, having him on podcast kind of marks the milestone that is for us: its 2nd year anniversary so that was a special thing. But having the guy who was kind of considered the engine behind the show, having him come on our podcast and talk personally and be open and talk truthfully about what he went through and what were his experience and so fort, that was a very special moment for me…
So I can’t say he is favorite guy but it was certainly a very very special moment that I will treasure and really appreciate him taking the time to come on podcast and talk to us. I hope he had a good time, we sure did, I sure did. So, I guess special moment, yeah that was special for me, favorites – I will not say favorite because I love them dearly.
So, Ryan you got into trouble now, go ahead
All: laughs
Ryan: I echo what Jeff said in that. I mean every time we’ve got to talk to anybody, as a fan of the show – I never thought I would get opportunity to talk to anybody connected to the show and even before I work in radio, including Jeff, I never taught I would be able to talk to the Jeff. But through this podcast I’ve had the opportunity to talk to so many people who either were on the show or worked behind the scenes to make the show to make the show I love. So yeah, I don’t know that I can pick favorite now I will single out one that I think was very special even more so now…and that was when we had opportunity to speak to Kellye Nakahara (episode: #14)
She played such an important role on that show, through the entire run of the show and she was always a presence there and in a fact, I think outside of main cast she did most appearance on that series. She had gone through a lot of medical issues, she has gone through so much and at that time when we spoke to hear, she was cancer free and she made that announcement even on our podcast. So it was very special one because, Jeff and Kellye had a such close personal deep relationship and for me it was just wonderful listening to these 2 old friends.
Now looking back now, she passed away this year because that awful cancer came back, so it was already special before that, but after she passed we had so many people reach out to us, thanking us that we did that interview and saying thank you so much for doing that that Kellye interview. It was just a special time and now knowing she is no longer with us, we still have her because of that – because of the series, because of the MASH, because of your interview, we are still able to connect with her. She was just a wonderful bubbly vibrant personality and so…yes Alan Alda, I mean I never thought I’ve would have a chance to talk to Alan Alda, Gary Burghoff who rarely does interviews and I don’t know he even really done podcast outside of ours, being able to talk to all of these people are just tremendous. But Kellye for me it really ended up one of the last if not last interview and be able to do that and listened to her do it with someone like Jeff who she loved made it special…
Moment of silence…
Jeff: I agree, I started to cry, listing to you talk about it. It’s true Kellye and I loved each other dearly. I knew he since I started on the show to the moment when she passed away. Our friendship was truly a special thing. Had I not showed up on MASH I would never meet her, so I’m very grateful for that. She was an amazing person, tremendously talented woman, great artist, she was loved on the set by everybody, contributed so much to the show. Kind of don’t noticed it right away. But when you start to watch it you really do see how much she is in the show and contributed to it as personality. That’s true it was a very special show to have her on our podcast, it was very special moment. I like her better than Alan, ok ok fine
All: laughs
