00:00We're coming back for season three.
00:03What has the fan reaction to this series, first of all, meant to both of you?
00:06Oh, my gosh. The fans, first of all, they love the show.
00:09They have shown their support of the show.
00:11They demanded that there was a third season.
00:14They are mad that it's not out right now.
00:16You know, the fans are really just kind of rallying around it,
00:19and they are all, they're locked in, locked in.
00:22And they have very strong opinions about what's going on in this show.
00:25Like, I don't even think I have a real name anymore.
00:26They just call me Louis.
00:27But I think it's a testament to the world that Ramla Muhammad has created
00:32and the opportunity that we get to really tell some really cool story.
00:35What are some of their hard opinions?
00:37Like, what's the first thing people are saying when they walk up to you about your character?
00:40Let me tell you right now.
00:43It's Tony, also known as Honi, you know what I mean, that came out last season.
00:48And so the lines are drawn in the sand in terms of was Louis wrong or right
00:54for getting, you know, hooked up with Tony?
00:57That what you just did is what people are doing at home.
00:59Especially amongst married couples.
01:02The married couples who watch the show, oh my goodness, they really just love it.
01:07And they really have, you know, strong opinions about who was right, who was wrong.
01:10And how did Louis and Jack get here?
01:12And I think that's the cool thing about the show is that it does spark conversations.
01:15Like, I know people, married couples, single people that are always, like, when the show
01:20is over, they call their friends and they talk about it.
01:22But it's been really cool, I think, to be able to have an opportunity to tell this point
01:26of view in a really cool world like this where you see a dynamic, professional lawyer like
01:31Emiyatze, like, playing Jax.
01:34And it's just been really cool.
01:36Yeah.
01:36Yeah.
01:36Do you feel like that yourselves?
01:38Like, when you're reading the scripts, are you like, I don't know if I agree with that?
01:41Oh, absolutely.
01:43Absolutely.
01:43I read the scripts and I'm like, how am I going to do this?
01:46Because Emiyatze is so far from me at times where it's difficult, but that's what makes
01:52it fun.
01:53That's what makes it fun, to play a character that makes choices that are questionable to
01:57you.
01:57You know what I mean?
01:58Because that just comes down to just the joy of acting at that point.
02:01Absolutely.
02:02Okay, so give us your best teasy tagline for this upcoming season.
02:08Well, I'll just kind of start the sentence, and I'll say Reasonable Out season three is
02:11going to be sexier, more drama, and more twists and turns.
02:16And there's a lot going on.
02:18Sexier, messier.
02:23Yeah.
02:25We're going to be on the lookout.
02:27Finally, I know there's so many incredible shows that are here today that are celebrating
02:31their upcoming seasons.
02:32If you could do a crossover episode with one other show that's here today, which one would
02:38it be?
02:38I think, you go ahead.
02:40I would say Abbott Elementary.
02:41I would say Abbott Elementary.
02:42I would like to go to Abbott Elementary on career day and talk to, you know what I mean?
02:46Yeah, yeah, that would be dope.
02:48Yes, I'm all about it.
02:49I would love to, I would love, love, love, love to see Jax and crew in the classroom, what
02:56that would look like.
02:57Trying not to disagree in front of the children, you know what I mean?
03:00Right, right.
03:01Right.
