SPEAKERS

Emily Deschanel, Carla Gallo

Emily Deschanel  00:00

We’re almost halfway through the first season, 10 episodes are successful.

 

Carla Gallo  00:04

Really?

 

Emily Deschanel  00:05

We might have done 24 episodes in the first season.

 

Carla Gallo  00:08

But still, that’s encouraging because every time I think of people like, “Oh, so you guys have recorded a lot of them” and I’m like, “Well, we’re on episode 10”. It always makes me feel like we have 230 to go but that makes me feel like, “Oh, we are chipping away”.

 

Emily Deschanel  00:23

We’re chipping away.

 

Carla Gallo  00:25

Chipping away.

 

Emily Deschanel  00:36

Hi, I’m Emily Deschanel.

 

Carla Gallo  00:39

I’m Carla Gallo.

 

Emily Deschanel  00:40

And this is Boneheads.

 

Emily Deschanel  00:47

Carla, I have a crazy dog.

 

Carla Gallo  00:49

I really do. When I come to the door, sometimes it’s so excited, he jumps up and one time he knocks the entire baby gate down.

 

Emily Deschanel  00:58

It’s so dramatic.

 

Carla Gallo  00:59

It was alarming.

 

Emily Deschanel  01:02

I was very alarmed.

 

Carla Gallo  01:04

Yeah.

 

Emily Deschanel  01:04

He’s just very excitable and he likes to chew on everything, he destroyed all the pillows in the house, basically. All the pillows that he had access to. We took away the pillows and now he’s eating the couch.

 

Carla Gallo  01:18

No.

 

Emily Deschanel  01:19

She’s so cute.

 

Emily Deschanel  01:19

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  01:19

That’s a huge pet peeve because I had cats before and when they would scratch the couch (I had my couch covered in double stick tape) but now, I have our dog, Lulu.

 

Carla Gallo  01:23

She’s really cute.

 

Emily Deschanel  01:26

And she’s sweet.

 

Carla Gallo  01:35

She’s very sweet but she’s very neurotic and scared of everything. There’s kind of a joke in the household that I’m always like, “Oh, Lulu”. We first got her, her delicacy of choice was stray cat poop.

 

Emily Deschanel  01:52

Oh, god.

 

Carla Gallo  01:53

Yeah and I was like, “This is not good”.

 

Emily Deschanel  01:56

Not okay.

 

Carla Gallo  01:57

Listen, her taste have matured.

 

Emily Deschanel  02:00

How old does she now?

 

Carla Gallo  02:01

She’s four.

 

Emily Deschanel  02:03

Okay.

 

Carla Gallo  02:04

So, she hasn’t been doing that lately. But, as you can tell from her discerning taste buds, she’s a picky eater. She’s a picky eater and we’re always struggling, she just like a food and then turn on it, which is such a nightmare because we’realso not good at stocking up. So, we’re now trying this raw dog food, maev and it’s actually kind of incredible because it’s in the freezer which for us is means we can stock up rather than running out, which is what would happen before. It’s raw which we had never done before.

 

Emily Deschanel  02:41

I know that’s supposed to be good for dog.

 

Carla Gallo  02:42

It’s really good for them because it’s made of human grade ingredients, like USDA beef and chicken breast, there’s veggies like kale and zucchini, it’s just not like junk because they do think.

 

Carla Gallo  02:54

Yeah. Then, of course, she was obsessed with it, ate every bite but she’s probably like, “I’ve never had real food before”.You’ve been feeding me processed hot dogs for four years and cat crap. But, the other thing that happened wasthere are these may freeze dried dog treats that I have and I gave those to her, and she ate them right away. I was standing at the kitchen counter and she has never done this before, she literally stood up and pushed on the back of mylegs like,she stood up and pushed on me.

 

Emily Deschanel  03:13

It’s an actual food.

 

Emily Deschanel  03:29

Right. My dog does that all the time.

 

Carla Gallo  03:32

Mine does not do that.

 

Emily Deschanel  03:33

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  03:34

And I was like, “I hear you and I see that you are non-verbally asking me if you could have a little bit more”.

 

Emily Deschanel  03:43

Okay.

 

Carla Gallo  03:43

And she’s never done before.

 

Emily Deschanel  03:45

Oh, she’s like, “More please”.

 

Carla Gallo  03:47

Yeah.

 

Emily Deschanel  03:47

Like Oliver.

 

Carla Gallo  03:49

I know or she’s like Margo, who’s like, “Treat, I want a snack”. But no, she just politely pushed on the back and stood up and pushed on the back of my legs.

 

Emily Deschanel  03:58

She liked it, she’s a fan.

 

Carla Gallo  04:02

She’s a fan.

 

Emily Deschanel  04:02

That’s the key.

 

Carla Gallo  04:03

Which makes sense because it’s actually good food and not processed.

 

Emily Deschanel  04:08

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  04:08

Weird, bad crap with fillers. So, because I’m such a fan of this dog food, I have a treat if you will for the Boneheads, which is maev, they going to give them 20% off in their first order which is awesome, because then people can try it andyou can see for yourself how great it is because it’s Lulu approved.

 

Emily Deschanel  04:22

Most importantly.

 

Carla Gallo  04:33

Most importantly very discerning taste, clearly. So right now, Maev is offering 20% off your first order at meetmaev.com/boneheads that’s spelled (m,e,e,t,m,a,e,v), so you just go to meetmaev.com/boneheads to receive 20% off your first order. This is gonna sound crazy, but we do like to give a little stocking stuff or treat to the dog because everyone’s opening presents, she does think she’s one of my daughter’s, for sure. She’s like, “What are we all doing?”.

 

Emily Deschanel  05:06

Right, part of the family.

 

Carla Gallo  05:08

Part of the family.

 

Emily Deschanel  05:09

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  05:09

Some girls like to give her little stocking stuffers. So, I think we’ll wrap up some of those, the freeze dried treats and we will put those. So for the holidays, this could make a great gift for your dog.

 

Emily Deschanel  05:19

Do you usually give a gift to a dog? Because this is our first Christmas with the dog as a family. So, what are the expectations?

 

Carla Gallo  05:26

From the dog?

 

Emily Deschanel  05:27

What is my dog going to expect?

 

Carla Gallo  05:28

I think the dog, your dog is expecting to eat every piece of wrapping paper and every bow, I think. But my dog, has lowself esteem so I don’t think she’s expecting anything. But my cats, I always used to give a little toy mouse. I was a single person with no children, with cats, so I did it up.

 

Emily Deschanel  05:31

Yeah, as you should. They are part of the families.

 

Carla Gallo  05:49

They are priorities. I do have other gifts to get.

 

Emily Deschanel  06:03

Yeah, I know. I’m already worried that am I gonna get everything.

 

Carla Gallo  06:06

I get everything so last minute.

 

Emily Deschanel  06:08

I’d like to plan ahead better.

 

Carla Gallo  06:10

I should do that.

 

Emily Deschanel  06:11

Okay, shall we get into the episode?

 

Carla Gallo  06:14

I don’t see why not?

 

Emily Deschanel  06:15

Why not?

 

Carla Gallo  06:16

Okay.

 

Emily Deschanel  06:16

There’s no reason.

 

Carla Gallo  06:17

I can’t think of one.

 

Emily Deschanel  06:18

Not a one.

 

Carla Gallo  06:18

Not a one. So, today we are talking about season one, episode 10.

 

Emily Deschanel  06:22

Yes we are.

 

Carla Gallo  06:23

The woman at the airport. This episode was written by Theresa Lynn and directed by your friend and ours, Greg Yaitanes.

 

Emily Deschanel  06:32

This episode is very fun because we’re in L.A.

 

Carla Gallo  06:37

Yeah.

 

Emily Deschanel  06:37

I mean, we’re always in L.A shooting bones, but it was supposed to be D.C, so we’d always have to hide the palm trees and everything. But now we’re filming in L.A and it’s supposed to be L.A, so that is really fun. I don’t know if we did. We did one episode about shooting like a movie about Bones, but I don’t know if we ever came back to L.A. Well, yes, we might have, but this is the first time we came to L.A on Bones and this episode gets into stereotypes about Los Angeles and Hollywood, like plastic surgery and the pressure to look a particular way.

 

Carla Gallo  06:59

Yes, which we’re gonna need to get into.

 

Emily Deschanel  07:15

We’ll dive in.

 

Carla Gallo  07:17

I want to dive into that. So first, let’s talk about what happened in the episode. So, body parts are found scattered near L.A.X. Booth and Brennan head to Hollywood to investigate and once Brennan starts examining the bones, she finds that the victim’s face has been drastically altered by plastic surgery which complicates the identification process.

 

Emily Deschanel  07:37

But, they’re ultimately able to start piecing the case together using the victim’s breast implants that she got on the black market and they figure out that she was a call girl who had numerous plastic surgery procedures and used severaldifferent names.

 

Carla Gallo  07:52

Yeah, so it was very hard to track her names when you found that.

 

Emily Deschanel  07:56

Yes.

 

Carla Gallo  07:58

In the end, Booth and Brennan determined that the victim was killed by a fellow call girl who was jealous of her romantic sexual relationship with a plastic surgeon who she had hoped would take her away from the life that she was living.

 

Emily Deschanel  08:11

What’s a romantic sexual relationship?

 

Carla Gallo  08:12

[…] Some people have romantic relationships. Some people sexual relationships don’t have a romantic sexual relationship, okay?

 

Emily Deschanel  08:19

And while all this is happening, the team back at the Jeffersonian are authenticating an Iron Age warrior. Let’s just say there’s a lot of tension between Goodman and Hodgins.

 

Carla Gallo  08:30

You made it sound like there was also relationships sexual […].

 

Emily Deschanel  08:35

Not that kind of tension.

 

Carla Gallo  08:36

Not relationship sexual.

 

Emily Deschanel  08:38

Not relationship sexual or a romantic sexual.

 

Carla Gallo  08:43

Sorry, was it romantic sexual?

 

Emily Deschanel  08:44

Yeah, romantic. It wasn’t romantic sexual tension between Hodgins […].

 

Carla Gallo  08:47

Okay? Romantic sexual.

 

Emily Deschanel  08:48

It’s just other kinds of tension. Very interesting episode, another one directed by Greg Yaitanes, who directed the pilot.

 

Carla Gallo  08:57

Yes.

 

Emily Deschanel  08:58

And the episode before […].

 

Carla Gallo  09:01

That’s unusual because you’re usually editing one and scouting or scout it. You wouldn’t be able to do both usually.

 

Emily Deschanel  09:07

My guess is and I don’t think he remembered, but that he scouted before he did the bottle episode, because there’s no scouting for the bottle.

 

Carla Gallo  09:14

Yeah, I think he did say that actually.

 

Carla Gallo  09:17

He said he could do it because the other one just took place in the lab. He’s a very cinematic director, I really appreciateit. I noticed it a lot in this, I mean just like the Skybar, reflection on the that blue behind you guys and then there’s a shotin the morgue where you’re, like, “In L.A” and the fluorescent lights are above you, it’s a great shot.

 

Emily Deschanel  09:17

Yeah.

 

Emily Deschanel  09:37

It’s in the opening credits?

 

Carla Gallo  09:39

Is it?

 

Emily Deschanel  09:40

Yeah, I believe the one you’re talking about […].

 

Carla Gallo  09:42

It’s so art, to me is like, “Okay, that’s a person who really understands”, when I take a picture, I’m saying “Well, if you would have just gotten that branch in there, it would have actually looked better”, he really gets it because to make fluorescent lights look beautiful, it was just really, it’s pretty.

 

Emily Deschanel  09:59

Yeah, I think there’s so many things to discuss. One, being the concept, the way we see Los Angeles in this episode and kind of, I guess, would you call it face dysmorphia, when someone is never satisfied with how they look, I think her wholebody. But you know, body dysmorphia is more like that, that’s a common phrase.

 

Carla Gallo  10:24

Yes.

 

Emily Deschanel  10:25

But, this is never like your body.

 

Carla Gallo  10:29

But this is seems to be, she was changing her face constantly. You were like, “I don’t even know” and Angela’s like, “I can’t reconstruct this, I don’t even know. I don’t know where to begin”. Like, “What did the original bone structure look like?”. But yeah, it was interesting. As I was watching it, I realized that I kind of have like conflicting feelings about plastic surgery. Because I think that if you asked me, my like, first thing off the top of my head, blanket statement, wouldbe like, “Yeah, it’s not good to change so you look”, I don’t know. I think as I age, I’m more able to acknowledge. It’s not that I hate the way I look, but I also prefer myself a certain wa. I haven’t done anything, but I can’t say that I rule out theidea that I never would which I think when I was younger, I would have said “Never”.

 

Emily Deschanel  11:20

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  11:21

That’s for me. If I decide that I don’t like having, like the separation between my chin and my neck which I can seecoming and I have older relatives who have since passed, who are a bit of a foreshadowing of the chin and neck that I’m heading for. You know what? I might not want to have that, it’s not that I don’t think I’m beautiful, I just don’t. I mightnot like that.

 

Emily Deschanel  11:46

I know, I have the same thing. When I did this episode, I felt like Brennan. I mean, I’m not very subtle in this episode about my distaste for it and I think I felt the same way, personally. I know I’ve the same thing as I’ve gotten. I’ve had a friend who had her nose job and I remember we were always like, “What are you doing?” like you’re friends for so longand we were like, “Why do you do that?” and then, I came to the realization.

 

Carla Gallo  12:15

Is Jennifer okay?

 

Emily Deschanel  12:16

It wasn’t.

 

Carla Gallo  12:17

Okay.

 

Emily Deschanel  12:18

It wasn’t, shockingly.

 

Carla Gallo  12:19

But, you know that whole thing?

 

Emily Deschanel  12:21

Didn’t she regret having it or something like that?

 

Carla Gallo  12:23

It changed her whole career.

 

Emily Deschanel  12:24

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  12:25

Because she looks very different.

 

Emily Deschanel  12:27

She look great.

 

Carla Gallo  12:28

Yeah.

 

Emily Deschanel  12:28

But I know there is something of making yourself look like generic, like everybody else which does happen in Los Angeles.

 

Carla Gallo  12:34

That’s what you talk about in the episodes. Like you become unidentifiable. You’re sort of like, there’s a line I wrote it down.

 

Emily Deschanel  12:35

Your race what makes you unique?

 

Carla Gallo  12:37

Yes.

 

Emily Deschanel  12:38

Yeah. But when I realized was like, it’s my friend still look like herself, just slightly different and it made her feel better. I was like, “You know what? Why would I be telling anyone what to do? If it makes someone feel better”. People shoulddo what makes them feel better, if not doing anything makes them feel better.

 

Carla Gallo  13:03

Right.

 

Emily Deschanel  13:03

If doing something as well. But, this is an extreme situation where somebody is addicted to it.

 

Carla Gallo  13:09

Which is whole other thing.

 

Emily Deschanel  13:12

I mean, we can examine ourselves and say in terms of age, changing ourselves as we age.

 

Carla Gallo  13:18

Right.

 

Emily Deschanel  13:19

Why are we so afraid of aging. I mean, I think as a culture we are.

 

Carla Gallo  13:24

Totally.

 

Emily Deschanel  13:24

Then we of course, we absorb that. And I personally like, “Yeah, there’s a part of me that’s scared of aging too”.

 

Carla Gallo  13:31

Yeah, I think that all of that.

 

Emily Deschanel  13:32

I’m looking like I’m aging.

 

Carla Gallo  13:33

Yeah, of course. I think all of that, the societal pressure whether it’s the aging or it’s the like, “I want a smaller nose”, you know, it’s all coming from societal pressure. What we see and what we’re shown. As we’re growing up, what is the ideal, what’s a sexual, what is appealing and all these things are being thrown at us. So yeah, I agree with you, I think culturally, that’s where it coming from.

 

Emily Deschanel  13:58

It’s hard to separate ourselves.

 

Carla Gallo  14:02

I think that.

 

Emily Deschanel  14:03

And then how we grow up. I mean, there’s so many factors, but we certainly can. I think probably most people can recognize that. I think that Los Angeles has an extreme version of that. I mean, very much shown in this episode is thatand then you have a lot of feet, the bodies like at the hotel. That was supposed to be the hotel, not Sky Bar. But, for a second I thought that was supposed to be Sky Bar.

 

Carla Gallo  14:04

[…] You guys were on a few different rooftops and I kind of couldn’t tell.

 

Emily Deschanel  14:21

I think they use all the same rooftop and I think depends on standard.

 

Carla Gallo  14:35

One had a pool.

 

Emily Deschanel  14:36

I think it all had a pool just using from different places, movie magic, TV magic. I think it might have been the standard hotel downtown, but it might have been another one similar.

 

Carla Gallo  14:49

Wasn’t right up next to the standard there was like that elevator.

 

Emily Deschanel  14:52

No, Sky Bar was on Sunset Boulevard in one of those hotels on Sunset.

 

Carla Gallo  14:57

Standard on Sunset.

 

Emily Deschanel  14:58

Oh, you’re thinking of the other standard, cause sometimes it standard downtown.

 

Carla Gallo  15:02

Okay, I don’t think I’ve been there.

 

Emily Deschanel  15:03

Yeah, I think it still exists. No, it was cool, it was a cool place to. Oh, of course you didn’t go cause it was so cool.

 

Carla Gallo  15:08

No, I was at Sky Bar, actually that’s why I wasn’t down there, is because I was just at Sky Bar. There was an elevator outside, you didn’t go into the hotel at all.

 

Emily Deschanel  15:09

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  15:10

We just wait at this elevator to take you straight up to the roof.

 

Emily Deschanel  15:22

I went maybe twice or something. I went, maybe four times tops, but for different parties or things and events, it was so silly.

 

Carla Gallo  15:32

I went, I definitely went. I had a phase of really going, I don’t know. I think, I had two phases. I had one where I was justhanging with my cool friends and they would go to cool places. Then I had another phase where I had been dumped and I was really trying to bump into him and he was really in the scene.

 

Emily Deschanel  15:33

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  15:36

And so I would. I was really good at it because I had friend, I knew where he went.

 

Emily Deschanel  16:03

This is before Instagram, where people would tell you where they are.

 

Carla Gallo  16:05

Yeah, I seem to have been connected enough to get myself into the places I knew and the hot places.

 

Emily Deschanel  16:07

I would never shown up unless I was invited to a party, because I feel like I’m always the person to be like, “No, you can’tcome in” and I just feel like, “Oh, god”.

 

Carla Gallo  16:23

Don’t tell me you couldn’t come in. You did have the right people […].

 

Emily Deschanel  16:24

I would not be with the right people. I didn’t know those people, I didn’t had that […].

 

Carla Gallo  16:32

Come on in you guys and pull us out of the crowd but I had to roll with those people. I’m sure I couldn’t get in at all.

 

Emily Deschanel  16:40

I didn’t have those times.

 

Carla Gallo  16:42

Oftentimes, I would run into him.

 

Emily Deschanel  16:44

It went good?

 

Carla Gallo  16:45

It was really good.

 

Emily Deschanel  16:46

And how did that go?

 

Carla Gallo  16:47

It did go great.

 

Emily Deschanel  16:47

It did take you back?

 

Carla Gallo  16:48

No, not only did he not take me back, he would eventually leave with his friends and then I’d be left there being like, “That was very unsuccessful”. Then one time, he said I was at the Roosevelt, not just by the pool, there was that one andthere was another.

 

Carla Gallo  17:02

And then he said, “It makes me really sad when I see you out, because this isn’t you”. And I was like, “Shit, he’s on to me”.

 

Emily Deschanel  17:02

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  17:17

We’ll be back with more Boneheads right after this quick break.

 

Emily Deschanel  17:41

I just remembered something too.

 

Emily Deschanel  17:42

Which was on the rooftop there was a bartender at the hotel, this has happened a few times. David Boreanaz kept trying to be like, “Set me up with the bartender”.

 

Carla Gallo  17:42

What?

 

Carla Gallo  17:56

What?

 

Emily Deschanel  17:58

I had a boyfriend at the time too.

 

Carla Gallo  18:01

Was it a real bartender or someone plays?

 

Emily Deschanel  18:02

The guy who worked there was a bartender. He was attracted, I remember being like, “Oh, well […]”. I get why you’re saying that, but there’s a future episode one of the actors, he was like […].

 

Carla Gallo  18:13

He kept trying to set you up?

 

Emily Deschanel  18:14

You should go out with him. I’m like, “I have a boyfriend. What are you doing?”. He did at one point mention setting me up with Aaron Eckhart, that actor.

 

Carla Gallo  18:25

Yeah.

 

Emily Deschanel  18:26

I was like, “Well, I have a boyfriend”.

 

Carla Gallo  18:28

He did not accept, he did not like this relationship with you.

 

Emily Deschanel  18:30

Then I showed up to a party at his house and Aaron Eckhart was there. And I was like, “This is my boyfriend”, I didn’t talkto him. I’m not gonna go off and talk to Aaron Eckhart when I’ve got a boyfriend.

 

Carla Gallo  18:43

Who knows what could happen?

 

Emily Deschanel  18:43

Who knows? He could have been my sliding doors.

 

Carla Gallo  18:47

Sliding doors.

 

Emily Deschanel  18:49

You just don’t even know.

 

Emily Deschanel  18:51

Oh my gosh.

 

Carla Gallo  18:51

Emily Eckhart. But, you know what’s something else he has to talk about in this penny? Effin Marshall.

 

Carla Gallo  18:55

How did you get that Marshall?

 

Emily Deschanel  18:57

Taken this long to get Penny Marshall.

 

Carla Gallo  19:04

I know. Are you kidding me? How did you get Penny Marshall?

 

Emily Deschanel  19:07

I don’t know. I think Barry Josephson got her or something. I remember she was very nice. I don’t think you see it in this episode, I should have looked a little closer. But she had, I think they were converse high tops.

 

Carla Gallo  19:18

Of course, cool.

 

Emily Deschanel  19:20

But, they were Bejeweled like not unlike.

 

Carla Gallo  19:23

Not unlike the murderer.

 

Emily Deschanel  19:25

Murderers nailed.

 

Carla Gallo  19:26

Really? Bejeweled.

 

Emily Deschanel  19:29

And she’s like, “These are my fancy shoes”.

 

Carla Gallo  19:31

She’s very cool.

 

Emily Deschanel  19:33

Very cool, I know.

 

Carla Gallo  19:36

I know.

 

Emily Deschanel  19:36

Another person who’s been on bones discussed away.

 

Carla Gallo  19:38

I know, the curse of bones.

 

Emily Deschanel  19:41

Don’t say that.

 

Carla Gallo  19:42

I’m sorry. Listen […].

 

Emily Deschanel  19:44

Carla, we were both don’t curse them.

 

Carla Gallo  19:49

Someday we might, okay.

 

Emily Deschanel  19:50

No, we we’re never going to die.

 

Carla Gallo  19:51

No, I know I’m gonna live forever. I talk about it all the time. Mark thinks it’s crazy, but I know it’s forever.

 

Emily Deschanel  19:52

We’re at least gonna look like we’re living forever. […] I’m just a hell with all these plastic surgery.

 

Carla Gallo  20:02

No, I think the show is just on long enough that some people lived an entire lifetime during the span of the show.

 

Emily Deschanel  20:09

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  20:09

Because shows on for so long.

 

Emily Deschanel  20:10

But, some people died before their time. But anyways, Penny Marshall an American treasure.

 

Carla Gallo  20:15

Very cool.

 

Carla Gallo  20:16

What a fun, it was like a little cameo.

 

Emily Deschanel  20:16

I know.

 

Emily Deschanel  20:19

It was just one little scene. But, I remember coming into the makeup and hair those was another time we’re I was like “Wow”.

 

Carla Gallo  20:24

She was in there? She was in the makeover?

 

Emily Deschanel  20:26

Shirley who played something like […].

 

Carla Gallo  20:31

She was in the makeup and hair trailer when you went in?

 

Emily Deschanel  20:36

Or she came in while I was already there or something.

 

Carla Gallo  20:38

No, that’s definitely an idol person and it was a very funny scene.

 

Emily Deschanel  20:41

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  20:42

Where you’re very.

 

Emily Deschanel  20:44

Not subtle performance.

 

Carla Gallo  20:49

Actually, don’t know about […].

 

Emily Deschanel  20:50

I wasn’t there.

 

Carla Gallo  20:52

Then you’re like, “Well, aren’t I writing the script, the manuscript?”.

 

Emily Deschanel  21:00

We were driving in Beverly Hills in an actual car when he ran some Mustang.

 

Carla Gallo  21:05

Did you drive?

 

Emily Deschanel  21:06

Yeah, there’s a bit. I can’t remember if David drove. We were also on a thing, I don’t remember what you call.

 

Carla Gallo  21:17

Okay, so the car was being pulled?

 

Emily Deschanel  21:23

But, also we did drive a little bit for a couple shots.

 

Carla Gallo  21:26

Then there was a separate car, I’ve never done that, by the way.

 

Emily Deschanel  21:29

Oh! you’ve never done it?

 

Carla Gallo  21:29

No, where you’re like on a real road, I’ve never done it. But, sometimes in L.A […].

 

Emily Deschanel  21:36

I definitely see in L.A.

 

Carla Gallo  21:40

You feel like this is movie magic, old Hollywood […].

 

Emily Deschanel  21:47

It’s exciting when you see and see the actor. I saw Billy Bob Thornton once.

 

Carla Gallo  21:53

Driving?

 

Emily Deschanel  21:54

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  21:54

And you see the car.

 

Emily Deschanel  21:55

And I knew what show, it was the show Goliath because he was driving the car that he drove for. And I was like, “I know what that is, I know what that’s for”.

 

Carla Gallo  22:03

Yeah. So, you were okay that you guys were driving?

 

Emily Deschanel  22:06

Yeah, continue drag.

 

Emily Deschanel  22:08

We were pulled.

 

Carla Gallo  22:08

Okay.

 

Carla Gallo  22:10

Towed.

 

Emily Deschanel  22:11

Towed, thank you. So, we were on the streets of Beverly Hills.

 

Emily Deschanel  22:18

Just up from Santa Monica Boulevard on those streets with all the, you knew what it was.

 

Carla Gallo  22:18

That’s so fun.

 

Carla Gallo  22:22

I knew where you were. I liked too, that you take out, you’re like, “I’m gonna tell him what kind of car, I’m gonna tell the FBI”, like what you rented a black shot, it’s very funny.

 

Emily Deschanel  22:23

And I’m driving.

 

Carla Gallo  22:27

It’s like a cut to you driving and then he looks, he’s very slumped down and looks a bit defeated.

 

Emily Deschanel  22:37

Not subtle either.

 

Carla Gallo  22:39

No, but that was funny.

 

Emily Deschanel  22:40

It was good, it was funny.

 

Carla Gallo  22:41

Yeah.

 

Emily Deschanel  22:41

Exactly. The one we’re on the beach.

 

Carla Gallo  22:47

Oh yeah, the volleyball?

 

Emily Deschanel  22:48

We filmed one of the plastic surgeons office, the first one we see, who said that the breast implants were stolen. But then I think he actually put them in and he was the client. I think we filmed that in one of those hotels right there, like Casa Del Mar or Shutters. They found some room, his office was a room in that hotel and then we walked down on the boardwalk, Santa Monica, on the border of Venice Beach. Then when we just filmed that on the same day, we were on the beach for the volleyball, maybe the same day as well and I remember having to kick that ball.

 

Carla Gallo  23:01

I made a note, you did a great job.

 

Emily Deschanel  23:33

It took a while for me. Everyone was like, “Oh, god”.

 

Carla Gallo  23:36

Oh, really? It looked so good.

 

Emily Deschanel  23:39

Thank you. Very athletic with that kind of thing.

 

Carla Gallo  23:43

Yeah, using a volleyball as a football even shooting at the beach.

 

Emily Deschanel  23:46

I think I did have a good job of showing different sides of stereotypical L.A.

 

Carla Gallo  23:50

Yeah, people know of L.A. But, I’ve only shot at the beach one time on Men of a Certain Age. Weirdly, one of the weird it’ll go down is I have certain memories, very cool things that people have asked me to do on different shows or movies.That one, I do not know why my character, it just seems because I was recurring on that, but my character surfs out. I don’t even know why I’d have to re watch it, I haven’t seen it in a long time but it was so cool. So, the whole crew is down there. Then there was a real surfer that was on the edge of a longboard and I was paddle. Then they were on some device, I guess some inflatable, like record filming me. I put a wetsuit on and I surfed out.

 

Emily Deschanel  24:36

You didn’t surfed, you paddle. That’s not surfing. The surfing is when you stand up your right […]. But, you paddle. To be clear, I’m laughing because the idea of either one of it, I grew up in L.A.

 

Carla Gallo  24:50

Right.

 

Emily Deschanel  24:51

I never surfed until one time I tried it and I always poo the surfers. I’d always be like surfers.

 

Carla Gallo  24:56

No.

 

Emily Deschanel  24:57

It’s hard but it’s so cool when you catch a wave. I didn’t quite stand up exactly, but caught a wave and that is thrillingand I got it. I understood why people love surfing now but I just laugh either one of us surfing like we’re not surfers.

 

Carla Gallo  25:14

No.

 

Emily Deschanel  25:15

But I did. I once got a script and it was involved surfing. I almost wanted to do it just so I could learn how to surf. We’d be cool. I think we’d get some cool points. Did you get to hold the surfboard?

 

Emily Deschanel  25:26

It is just there? Okay.

 

Carla Gallo  25:26

I sat up on it, that’s all I remember is I had to paddle out. […] I had to sit up and but it was so cool. I shot down there andI’m like, “I know we were probably in the exact same location”.

 

Carla Gallo  25:37

You are right there.

 

Emily Deschanel  25:42

Right. Okay.

 

Carla Gallo  25:43

Yeah.

 

Emily Deschanel  25:43

I was picturing it further out.

 

Carla Gallo  25:45

No, right there. It’s probably very easy to get all the trucks and everything.

 

Emily Deschanel  25:49

Yes, it’s easier parking than Malibu and also probably less territorial.

 

Carla Gallo  25:56

In Malibu?

 

Emily Deschanel  25:58

Yeah, Malibu and Topanga and all that as I know because I’m a surfer […]. Well, that’s cool, you don’t want to find that.

 

Carla Gallo  26:10

I’ll try to find it for you.

 

Emily Deschanel  26:11

Okay. But, it’s a little bit of a pain to film at the beach. It’s like the sand, there’s wind at all, the sand and it’s sunny, my eyes are so sensitive to the sun so you want to wear sunglasses, but they always say “Why you wear sunglasses?”.

 

Carla Gallo  26:26

Yeah. Well, it’s a cool location.

 

Emily Deschanel  26:27

It’s a cool location.

 

Emily Deschanel  26:29

It’s very California, very cool.

 

Carla Gallo  26:29

It looks good.

 

Carla Gallo  26:33

I like that there was an episode where you could take advantage of the L.A, scenery.

 

Emily Deschanel  26:38

Well, because usually we’re busy filming, we could only film in one direction because if you filmed in another direction, you’d see all the palm trees.

 

Emily Deschanel  26:45

I remember growing up, we had family friends who lived in D.C and they came to visit us. That’s when I became aware that palm trees weren’t ubiquitous because he was like, “Look at all the palm trees, we’re in L.A”. He was so excited and Ithought, “Palm trees, mom trees”. Like, “Who cares about them?” but, they’re cool.

 

Carla Gallo  26:45

Right.

 

Carla Gallo  27:03

People from D.C.

 

Emily Deschanel  27:04

People from D.C and they don’t have them in D.C, so you can’t have them on bones. It was nice having episode, but we didn’t have to hide the palm trees. In fact, we celebrated palm trees, it was a real love letter to the palm tree.

 

Carla Gallo  27:18

Yes.

 

Carla Gallo  27:24

Don’t go anywhere. There’s more Boneheads after this quick break.

 

Emily Deschanel  27:48

Okay, so we have Marika Domińczyk, who plays the character called Leslie Snow, another call girl who turns out to be the murderer.

 

Carla Gallo  28:00

Yes, the murderous.

 

Emily Deschanel  28:01

The murderous. Her sister is in succession.

 

Carla Gallo  28:10

Who is she?

 

Emily Deschanel  28:10

She plays Carolina, I think the character’s name, she plays a publicist, I think.

 

Carla Gallo  28:16

It’s that her sister?

 

Emily Deschanel  28:17

With the brown hair bob. She’s great, both beautiful and talented.

 

Carla Gallo  28:21

Just like you and your sister.

 

Emily Deschanel  28:24

Both actor, but sister actors.

 

Carla Gallo  28:26

Sister actors […].

 

28:31

Two sets of sisters, we should do sister act, the musical. Figured it out, our next job out. Can we talk about the Iron Age?

 

Carla Gallo  28:32

Oh, I know.

 

Emily Deschanel  28:32

Warrior to stick with L.A for now when we go back to.

 

Carla Gallo  28:44

The only thing I want to say is this, right off the bat and I’m assuming, I don’t know if it’s intentional, but I was like, “You could not pick two more polar opposite topics, themes, bodies”. I switching back and forth between Brennan and Booth and all the ladies in bikinis, then coming back to the lab and everyone’s like, “Oh, he saw an iron age, I think he’s from 1500 years ago”. He’s always well preserved and I was like, “Is this super intentional? Is there a metaphor in here?”.

 

Emily Deschanel  29:26

I have a theory.

 

Carla Gallo  29:28

Okay.

 

Emily Deschanel  29:30

At the end, you realize that Dr. Goodman does not want to alter the body by doing extra tests. Maybe I’m looking into this more than it needs to be, but might as well.

 

Carla Gallo  29:45

Yeah, no.

 

Emily Deschanel  29:46

Analyze it because he doesn’t want to, he’s going so far the opposite than the victim in Los Angeles.

 

Carla Gallo  29:52

I think you could be right.

 

Emily Deschanel  29:52

To alter herself so much. Of course, she’s doing that to herself.

 

Carla Gallo  29:56

Yes.

 

Emily Deschanel  29:56

But, they’re trying to preserve this in case it is authentic. They don’t want to put it through any more tests that couldtainted.

 

Carla Gallo  30:01

Cause the family had. Goodman is theorizing that the family had laid this body to rest. Didn’t take any of the jewels or the gender whatever. He was like, “Oh, it wasn’t, like plundered or something”.

 

Emily Deschanel  30:17

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  30:18

With all the weapons and jewelry.

 

Emily Deschanel  30:27

He has weapons and he has armor.

 

Carla Gallo  30:31

Yeah, but that’s interesting. I like that. I feel like we’re in like a film class or TV, I don’t know. I just like hearing that because I was like, “There’s got to be something”. These are the most polar. One of them is sexy and one is real unsexy. Ididn’t find the word to be sexy. You guys are like […] and then they go back and like, “Oh, I believe this is a picked warrior” or whatever it was. I was like, “I don’t want to go back to L.A, no offense”.

 

Emily Deschanel  31:01

He want those bikini clad. I will say that there are many more, certainly only one specific type of body, bikini clad bodies and there was no men, except for man volleyball later on. But I’m just like, “L.A is just these women that look one particular way”. And I know that that’s we’re talking about plastic surgery and women, women having a certain standard of beauty and looking a certain way their aesthetic.

 

Carla Gallo  31:36

I’ll say this because as much as part of me was like, “Oh, this is a stereotype of L.A”. You know, part of me, it’s also accurate. I don’t mean not the women in the bikinis, that whole thing. I mean, that is here too, but it’s funny too, 2006 like, it’s just the same. It’s all the same. Everyone’s writing a manuscript in a coffee shop, everybody.

 

Emily Deschanel  31:57

Everytime you going to a coffee shop in Los Angeles, everyone has their laptops out and they’re all guaranteed writing a manuscript.

 

Carla Gallo  32:04

Everyone is an actor. Everyone is getting plastic surgery, all of it is true and I was kind of like, “Oh, that’s funny” because in 2006, I had only been here maybe five years at that point and I was from New York and it’s just very different and that.

 

Emily Deschanel  32:23

There’s a certain part of New York that has models sometimes there’s the fashion model, that’s a part of it. But, the majority of New York is very much not that.

 

Carla Gallo  32:34

No, it’s about intellectual […].

 

Emily Deschanel  32:37

And then there’s the Average Joe and a lot of different people from different backgrounds coming together. That’s whatI love about New York City, everyone’s from different backgrounds and coming together in one place. I think because it’s so many people in a condensed space and everyone’s using public transportation, you’re all exposed to each other all the time. Whereas L.A, we have a lot of different cultures in L.A, but it’s spread out and it’s an industry town or it has been an industry town.

 

Carla Gallo  32:38

Yeah.

 

Emily Deschanel  32:38

That’s changing, but a lot of people work in the industry, whereas in New York, there be some people in fashion or whatever, there’s so many different industries that’s not known for that. But, just saying that L.A is many things. It’s not just Hollywood or this kind of culture, but it does there.

 

Carla Gallo  33:03

It’s prevalent.

 

Emily Deschanel  33:05

It’s prevalent.

 

Carla Gallo  33:06

I have a few girlfriends. I remember going back to my house where I grew up, you come in the front, it’s the vestibule, wecall it and then you come in the next door.

 

Emily Deschanel  33:06

Sounds so fancy.

 

Carla Gallo  33:32

And it sounds fancy. It’s a brown stone so it’s probably just accurate till the time. But you come in the vestibule, that’s where the mailboxes are on the wall and then you come in another door, and there’s a mirror right there, it is all still the way it was when I grew up and so it’s there. I remember, in sort of having been out here, I hadn’t been out here that long, but enough. I remember coming back and looking at myself in the mirror on my way in or out of the house in New York, but I was living in L.A and I was like, “Wow, I look good”. I remember talking to a girlfriend, probably to Sarah or somebody and I was like, “When I’m in New York” and I look in the mirror, I feel good about myself. She was like, “I have the exact same thing”. There was something about being there, the pressure was I felt, alleviated. I didn’t feel that. I guess too, because like here represented, I was always trying to get jobs and I wasn’t this enough or that enough. We’ve talked about this but the notes you get, the feedback you get and usually your agents are trying to protect you from that. But I for sure, could read through the, “Well, you know”, she was one of like, “She should wear something tighter sheshould”. And I was like, “Oh, you want me to stuff my bra?”, I knew that what it was, they were like, “She should be a littlemore”. I can’t remember what they said but I could read it. Oh, they also would tell me like, “She should come in looking her best” and this would be like at the test or whatever. And I’d be like, “If you think that I am not trying to look my best, you are mistaken. I am always trying to look my best”. But anyway, I would get to New York and I would kind of fall to the background and I wouldn’t be able to appreciate myself.

 

Emily Deschanel  33:33

I like that you could in New York. This is one of my favorites. They’re looking for drop dead gorgeous and that’s just not you, they said that. My manager at the time told me that and I would be like, “That’s so subjective. What drop dead gorgeous is?”.

 

Carla Gallo  34:36

That’s unbelievable.

 

Emily Deschanel  35:29

I’m like, “Oh, okay”.

 

Carla Gallo  35:31

That is insanity.

 

Emily Deschanel  35:32

It’s not like I ever thought I was drop dead gorgeous.

 

Carla Gallo  35:37

I think you all need to hear it, but you are drop dead gorgeous. I know you don’t need to hear it, so I think that’s insane. Then obviously, it’s just insane to say that just generally.

 

Emily Deschanel  36:09

That’s so subjective. There’s different kinds of beauty, there’s not just one thing. But I never thought, I’m drop dead gorgeous. But then that just was like, “Okay, I guess I’m not drop dead gorgeous”. I know that. Now I know what people think of me.

 

Carla Gallo  36:12

Crazy.

 

Emily Deschanel  36:14

I tell me that I’m not drop dead gorgeous.

 

Carla Gallo  36:30

But it just shows you the oppression, every level because you’re very beautiful but they were like, “Oh, but you’re not beautiful enough”.

 

Emily Deschanel  36:44

Yeah, like there’s a ranking for beauty too.

 

Emily Deschanel  36:44

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  36:44

Right?

 

Carla Gallo  36:47

Yeah, exactly. I wasn’t going in for any kind of model roles. When I first got here, I kept going in for they’d be like, “So, you think she’s male?”.

 

Emily Deschanel  37:02

No.

 

Carla Gallo  37:07

What should I take from? I had more than one, I had a few of those.

 

Emily Deschanel  37:12

That’s really weird, you’re not androgynous.

 

Carla Gallo  37:16

There’s nothing wrong with it.

 

Emily Deschanel  37:17

Yeah. But that’s just not who you are.

 

Carla Gallo  37:19

No, I didn’t feel that was either but that happened a few times. I’m just saying.

 

Emily Deschanel  37:27

But you know, I don’t know. Who knows why these things, I don’t know. I feel like I should have a lot of male features. Anyways, okay.

 

Carla Gallo  37:40

That’s not true.

 

Emily Deschanel  37:41

Okay. We all have our things that we think we […].

 

Carla Gallo  37:43

We all have our things, which is what this is about. This is what we’re supposed about we’re talking about.

 

Emily Deschanel  37:51

The plastic surgery we’re addressing that Brennan’s really loud me being loud in the waiting area.

 

Carla Gallo  38:01

Yeah, of the plastic surgery, surgery options. I know where people are getting plastic surgery.

 

Emily Deschanel  38:08

I have a very distinct belt.

 

Carla Gallo  38:10

I know what’s that all about.

 

Emily Deschanel  38:11

Once again, there’s a prominent belt. I think it’s interesting too that we don’t know the person’s actual name and we don’t know what she looked like originally.

 

Carla Gallo  38:23

I was gonna write down, then I was like, “Don’t even write it down”, because every time we meet a new person, she has anew name. All the names, I think there were at least four names and then there are two plastic surgeons, that was confusing.

 

Carla Gallo  38:36

Yeah, so the first plastic surgeon. The breast implants were stolen from his office […].

 

Emily Deschanel  38:36

It was confusing.

 

Emily Deschanel  38:42

[…] Then one of the group that was found or one set of the group that was found were found in a call girl or escort and that led us to the madam, I believe. Then the madam, and then we had some kind of reconstruction of a face even though it was really hard for Angela to do. And then that Madam said, “Oh, I think it’s this person” and that person is.

 

Carla Gallo  39:10

You mean the plastic surgeon?

 

Emily Deschanel  39:11

No, the Madam says, “I think it’s this person”, right […].

 

Carla Gallo  39:16

Rachel, she’s supposed to check in. She checks out for a week at a time and usually she would check with me.

 

Emily Deschanel  39:23

Long term client.

 

Carla Gallo  39:25

This I just asked, because forbid you missed one line on this show. Did the black market plastic surgeon? Were we thinking that he maybe did the implants and they were not stolen in exchange for sexual favors and that he’s claiming that like, is that an accusation this guy?

 

Emily Deschanel  39:46

What I took away from it, but I also could be wrong.

 

Emily Deschanel  39:49

I only watched the episode once, but I took copious notes, not that I can read any of them. But okay, so Dr. Anton cost off, who’s the plastic.

 

Carla Gallo  39:49

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  40:01

It’s that the first surgeon or the second plastic surgeon?

 

Emily Deschanel  40:02

That’s the second plastic surgeon.

 

Carla Gallo  40:03

Okay, we were talking about this quite the red herring because you spend so much time, we know that we’ve found out that he’s the only one that does this bone altering surgery. He has invented his own tools. You guys go and you seize his tools and then you spend a lot of time jamming those tools into a hunk of clay, quite aggressively.

 

Emily Deschanel  40:25

Very aggressively and that shot is used in the opening credits, as I mentioned.

 

Carla Gallo  40:30

But then, red herring. Not only is he not the killer. How did his tools we know that she was killed? Do we know she’s killed by those tools?

 

Emily Deschanel  40:31

She has good tools.

 

Carla Gallo  40:38

He have the tools.

 

Emily Deschanel  40:44

Or maybe has multiple tools.

 

Carla Gallo  40:45

There’s damage to the bones. Let me stray up something, I texted you a couple days ago that I met a woman.

 

Carla Gallo  40:56

That works at my mom’s assisted living, Lily Foster. Shout out to you, Lily Foster. I said, can I ask you something? Because she said “I had heard that your mom was here and she was very sweet, very excited”.

 

Emily Deschanel  40:56

Oh! Yes.

 

Emily Deschanel  41:10

Word on the street.

 

Carla Gallo  41:11

Word on the Street was that my mom was at this assisted living and she said, “I was watching the show when someone told me that your mom was here”. She was like, “I was literally watching it” and she said, “I think I’ve watched it all the way through eight times”. I was like, “Can I ask you something?” I was like, “Emily and I was wondering what is it that makes people want to watch it multiple times?” and she was like, “It’s so detailed”. I feel like there are so many details that I like want to keep watching it. Then there’s also the plot and you can do other things. But she said, “I often will pause it”. She’s like, “Oh, wait, I want to see that part”. So, my only point in saying this is there are so many details that I don’t know if I missed, if those tools like right now, I don’t know. Are the plastic surgery tools an indicator of her murder? How did those tools get tied in?

 

Emily Deschanel  41:15

Well, those were the tools that were used to kill her.

 

Carla Gallo  41:32

To kill her? So she was stabbed with that crab looking tool?

 

Emily Deschanel  41:41

Yes, I believe so.

 

Carla Gallo  41:50

How did the call girl get that tool?

 

Emily Deschanel  41:52

I don’t know, that’s the big question to me. I don’t understand exactly, where they both on the boat together with him?[…]. It sounded like and she still has the same nails. […] they came off so easily.

 

Carla Gallo  42:18

That is not well affixed.

 

Emily Deschanel  42:20

No.

 

Carla Gallo  42:21

She didn’t go, that’s not she did it herself.

 

Carla Gallo  42:25

But, that’s her signature nail with the cube and you’re wondering why she didn’t get different style.

 

Emily Deschanel  42:25

I believe press on nails.

 

Emily Deschanel  42:53

But, don’t you think she did murdered someone, and you’re like, “After the murder”.

 

Carla Gallo  42:55

And that nails is missing.

 

Emily Deschanel  42:57

I’m missing that nail and I just murdered someone. Maybe I should switch up my nails.

 

Carla Gallo  43:01

Switch up the way it look.

 

Emily Deschanel  43:02

Yeah, but I guess anyone who knows her, knows she’s the diamond nail girl.

 

Carla Gallo  43:07

Yeah. You’re looking for someone with a cup of coconian on their nails.

 

Emily Deschanel  43:12

I love the fact that somebody said, like “Well, it wasn’t real diamonds”, so she wasn’t that fancy. Who would put real diamond in their nails?

 

Emily Deschanel  43:19

Like, zero.

 

Carla Gallo  43:19

Yeah.

 

Carla Gallo  43:20

But there’s somebody, I’m sure there’s somebody. But, yeah, that’s all I was saying. I was a little confused about why we had this major red herring of this other plastic surgeon, who the killer was worried that the victim was gonna take from her.

 

Emily Deschanel  43:41

Yeah, she was worried, the killer was worried.

 

Carla Gallo  43:46

She felt threatened.

 

Emily Deschanel  43:47

She felt threatened, she was with that guy.

 

Emily Deschanel  43:51

Or she was having a relationship with that or whatever. She sleeping on him but she thought it was more than just a kind of relationship.

 

Carla Gallo  43:51

Yes.

 

Carla Gallo  44:01

She wanted more.

 

Emily Deschanel  44:02

She wanted him to take her away and maybe marry her.

 

Carla Gallo  44:05

Which is why he requested somebody else.

 

Emily Deschanel  44:07

At the end, we do find out what she actually looked like originally.

 

Carla Gallo  44:10

Yes, we do.

 

Emily Deschanel  44:11

We figure out who she really was.

 

Carla Gallo  44:13

Yes, because of the break. You had enough facts to figure out who she was.

 

Emily Deschanel  44:20

In a car accident.

 

Carla Gallo  44:21

She was like 12 or 13.

 

Emily Deschanel  44:23

Yeah and they found her name. She’s so pretty.

 

Carla Gallo  44:26

Very pretty.

 

Emily Deschanel  44:27

Oh, tragedy. But I think that’s another theme and kind of, maybe I don’t know a stereotype of Los Angeles, people tryingto reinvent themselves.

 

Carla Gallo  44:38

Definitely.

 

Emily Deschanel  44:39

Become a new person here and become a star. I mean, she was certainly searching for that herself.

 

Carla Gallo  44:46

Well, people definitely say like the place where prom queen or whatever, it comes to L.A to make it big or whatever. There’s a lot of that here. I feel you’re like, “Well, I was this in my town”. So, I’ll come here and I’ll make it big, but then everybody else also has come here.

 

Emily Deschanel  45:03

Yeah, it’s like the prom queen and also the people who did the drama in high school and whatever, like we did.

 

Carla Gallo  45:12

But, then there’s the harsh reality.

 

Emily Deschanel  45:14

There’s a harsh reality of Los Angeles, no matter how challenging you are.

 

Carla Gallo  45:19

It’s a sad, it is a sad episode. It is a very common looking episode. I think we really got in deep on this one. I like that. I feel like you and I got to really dig in on some feelings we have about some things and about our life and how that’s been for us here in Los Angeles.

 

Emily Deschanel  45:37

Yeah, it was a lot to talk about. It was a lot to discuss, because we do live in Los Angeles in this business.

 

Carla Gallo  45:44

Yeah. We’re a part of the Juggernaut.

 

Emily Deschanel  45:46

Yeah, but we can look at it objectively, I think. Her name was Allison, I just want to say that.

 

Carla Gallo  45:53

Is that right? Her original name.

 

Emily Deschanel  45:55

Original name.

 

Carla Gallo  45:59

Emily, it’s that time. The time for fan questions. Are you ready?

 

Emily Deschanel  46:05

Sure.

 

Carla Gallo  46:05

Okay, so this question is from Mimi Fifi 21 Shirley. Shirley asks, Why do they call the fictional institution the Jeffersonian?Is it based on any real life entity?

 

Emily Deschanel  46:19

It’s a great question. It’s based on the Smithsonian, amazing entity to use your word. I think they were in the process when we have heart back, he can speak to this more, but they were in the process of getting permission to use the name Smithsonian.

 

Carla Gallo  46:39

Oh, really?

 

Emily Deschanel  46:40

And they didn’t get it before we went into production, but then they got it later.

 

Carla Gallo  46:44

No.

 

Emily Deschanel  46:45

We’d already filmed.

 

Carla Gallo  46:46

Poor Smithsonian, they missed out on 12 years of their name being […].

 

Emily Deschanel  46:46

I know, we could have been advertising. I don’t know if they’d want it or not. Well, they gave us the permission eventually.

 

Carla Gallo  46:55

Yeah.

 

Emily Deschanel  46:56

Isn’t that interesting? […].

 

Carla Gallo  46:59

Jeffersonian is great because now it’s specific to Bones. But, it would have been cool to be Smithsonian.

 

Emily Deschanel  47:06

Jeffersonian, I got used to it but I remember when I was first filming pilot, being like, “This doesn’t have a ring to”. You know, Jeffersonian is more clunky than the Smithsonian.

 

Carla Gallo  47:20

Yeah, well because it’s so familiar, too, Smithsonian.

 

Emily Deschanel  47:22

I think that’s also good.

 

Carla Gallo  47:24

Who’s Jeff? I’m just kidding.

 

Emily Deschanel  47:27

I think it’s Thomas Jefferson […]. Well, there you go. There you go, Shirley. Thanks for your question and if anyone else has questions, you can find us on the Instagram at Boneheads pod, DM us.
