The golf tournament was the big draw of the weekend but of course, Kaitlin and I didn’t sign up. Tee time was 11 and we were doing our set visit and lunch while the golfers were supposedly making their rounds through the course. We got back to the resort about 1 and decided to check in the club house to see what was going on as it had begun to rain. We ran into our podcast friend Mark and he gave us the low down, saying they were waiting a bit to see what happened. At the end of the conversation he points out Jesse Plemons “Landry” that is just down the porch hanging out. We were able to meet him, get pictures and chat. It was great when he remembered our interview from the podcast. I have to say Landry is not Landry-ish at all (funny how that works). First, physically, Jesse was much taller and broader than I thought. Also, he’s much more laid back in a cool and not stuttering/dorky kind of way.
At this point the golf event gets canceled and they’ve brought in the food from the course for everyone to eat. We meet Stacey Oristanso “Mindy” who is as sweet as she can be and drop dead gorgeous.
Jeff Rosick who will play a 15yo Buddy Jr. in season 5.
At this point, Kaitlin and I sit down with Jeff and Darren, the equipment manager at a random table at the club house. They announce that they’ll be raffling off the golf prizes at a mic that just happens to be set up in front of our table. At this point, Tinker and Jesse decide to hang out at our table as well. Kyle, Brad, Rex Lin of CSI and Stacey are in front of us raffling stuff off.
In walks in none other than Matt Lauria “Luke”. You should listen to our interview with him just to hear how sweet he is. Definitely a charmer! I had been so excited to meet him since our interview. Well, Darren introduces us to him and Matt runs around the table and gives us big hugs. He ends up grabbing some food and plopping down at the table between Kaitlin and I. At this point, Kaitlin and I are pretty sure we’re living someone else’s life.
Look at that smile! We legit were having fun with them.
After the raffling was done we also met Derek Phillips “Billy Riggins” who recognized and called us the “Podcast Chicks”
And Kaitlin recognized Steve Walters “Glenn” who we were able to chat with for a few. For the record, Steve was congratulating Matt on the pick-up of Matt’s new FOX show Ride-along.
That afternoon definitely goes down as one of my favorite Friday afternoons ever.
