of television where there's so many kind of antiheroes and tv shows where everyone is terrible to everyone. >> patrick: yeah, yeah. you've got a--kinda like breaking bads and sopranos. >> shad: yeah. >> patrick: there's some fearsome people on television. >> shad: yeah. >> patrick: yeah-- >> shad: is that a lot of the feedback you've gotten, people really care about that aspect of the show? >> patrick: yeah, i think they don't necessarily understand why they love it, but i do think that's what it is because never have i been a part of something, and i don't really know anyone part ofo's b something, that's such a wide span of--of people who are fans of the show. i mean, i can be walking down the street and a grandmother and her 16-year-old granddaughteree will both stop me and love the show. >> shad: hmm. >> patrick: and usually say that they watch it together. and to me, that says that this is a show that sort of bridges the gap of that. it's something that all ages can relate to. and what better can people relate to than--than family and to, you know, people banding together against a common causef bay street, uh, high finance legal world, young professionals? how do they respond to the show? >> patrick: yeah, we get a lot of them. i think we had one of them though himself up against

glass while we were shooting downtown the other day. um, i think they, uh--they respond to it in a way too because they're in thatthe environment. they're in those offices, and i think--you know, i never really worked an office job. i had one with--when my mother employed me after high school in my first job working in an office. but other than that, i never really done it. and i think people yearn for connection in those places, and they--they spend so much time there. and especially young people g in finance or accounting or law right now. it's a lot of time in the office, and it's high stress. and i think it's fun to watch a bunch of people who are amazing at what they do, but also theren for each other and have each others backs. i think it's an admirable thing, and people really want to create that environment for themselves in their offices. d: you brought up family a couple times. and your real-life fiancée-- >> patrick: mm hmm. >> shad:--actress, uh, troian bellisario plays your ex-girlfriend on the show. >> patrick: yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> shad: what's that like for the two of you? >> patrick: it was great>> shaas great. yeah, i've been on her show now too and, uh--and she's come on to the show a couple of times, and it's--it's terrific. we love working together which is--which is; it w, and we spend

so much of the year apart. so, any excuse that i can get a network to fly her up here is just fine by us. >> shad: as actors, is it tempting to draw on greateal relationship? >> patrick: um, no. i think we really keep--i think we've learned we have to really keep that stuff separate.your r you know, i think there's a lot of pitfalls to two actors dating each other. acting can be a really sort of introverted and selfish profession. you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. and i think anwho's been in a relationship that even is close to working, you--you can't behave that way. >> shad: yeah. >> patrick: um, and we've leybody that the hard way. i think we've had a lot of times where we've been selfish or been thinking about ourselves, and it just--you can't--you can't, um, make a relationship work over that, this long--this longarned distance if you're--if you're constantly in that state of mind. so, we have our work, and then we have our lives, and i think they're pretty separate. >> shat's sort of a plot that's mirrored on the show. you have people in very demanding jobs and trying to make relationships work. >> patrick: mm hmm. >> shad: is that something you drew on as well as far as, uh, approaching the show and--andhat

those dilemmas that the characters go through? >> patrick: yeah, i think--i think that's a good point. i think the struggle of--the struggle of what we've been doing and the strugglest making a television series is definitely informed, um, the stakes of the show. i think--i think those are just sort of lingering right on the surface when we show of ju set, so i think that's a good point. we bring that with us. >> shad: well, i wish you much continued success. >> patrick: thank you. >> shad: uh, and i'm looking forward, as you know, to the next season. >> patrick: yeah. >> shad: thanks so much. >> patrick: of cou up to thank you. ♪ >> shad: coming up on q: laura marling performs from her next album short movie. but first, fat mike on celebrating the 25thrse.ersary of his label fat wreck chords. >> fat mike: if you screw somebody over, that's hard. and at fat wreck chords, uh, we've really never, uh, scre anv any band over in the slightest. ♪ [theme] automated voice: to file a claim, please stwedur name. carnie wilson. thank you. can you hold on? ♪ hold on for one more day really? hey, i know there's pain. why do you lock yourate yop in these chains?

yeah. >> shad: well, we'll have you back--we'll have you back next year then for the real silver rings. >> fat mike: i mean, reallythe people. it's just--look at the dates. >> shad: you--you call yourselves fans. um, so, was it a learn-as-you-go type of thing; i'm guessing? >> fat mike: yeah, yeah. >> shad: hmm. >> fat mike: wl--well, i put out a nofx seven inch before but--in a record, but we just sold those on tour. there was no distribution or anything like that. yeah, i worked at epitaph records for about a week and kinda stole all their secrets. but back then, there was no employees. y. was just brett and, you know, so that--and what's to learn. you just kind of put out records. and back then, no one was buying any. >> shad: but you stuck with the same vision for this label? >> fat mike: yeah, we, u ja thing i always wanted to do was make sure all the bands i signed i liked and keep it, you know, a punk label. >> shad: um, was there ever--was it ever a h--onenge, uh, between being a friend and collaborator and being a business owner? >> fat mike: uh, friend and a collaborator? >> shad: like a--like a friend? like, you'vechalleibed fat wreck chords as like family, you know,

but at the same time you're the boss, right? >> fat mike: it's actually--it's actually easy. if you ever have to cuss over a friend, that's hard, you know? r if--if you screw somebody over, that's hard, then you have to--and so many people do that, so many labels and so many businesses. and you have to learn how to live with screwing somebody over 'cause it's not something anyone wants to do. it's just they make that choice. and at fat wreck chords, uh, we've really never, uh, screwed any band over in the slightest se if you do it once, that word could spread to everybody. what was that like being a part of that seeing your peer'caur own band, your label take off? what was that like? >> fat mike: it was--well, it was crazy, and it was so fun and easy 'causs, youty much every band we signed got popular. the first, i think, seven bands we signed to fat wreck chords, they all did very well.e pret and, uh, it just wasn't hard

because we never spend a lot of money on marketing; we never did radio, really. and we'd spend maybe, you know, $30,000/$40,000 in marketing and in recording a band, and they'd sell 200,000 copies.

i mean 'cause i wouldn't want a band on a label that doesn't wanna be on a label. that's crazy. >> shad: why do you think other people don't see it this way? you've been able to do business like this for 24, we'll say 25, years. >> fe: well, it's--the reason is because, uh, if you sign a band and you spend two million dollars marketing them, you're gonna want a few records. >> shad: yeah. >> fat mike: andat mikn't spend that kind of money. uh, faith no more--i'm friends with billy from faith no more, and they did that first record the real thinactually their we dond record, and it was hug. it went multi-platinum, and they were all flush with money. and then they did the next record, and it didn't do that well, and then they never saw any money from their firstseco record anymore 'cause like, you know, the label cross-collateralized and took all their money. >> shad: yeah. >> fat mike: it's crazy. and he's like, "i'll never see a royalty cheque again." and--and we have--like, we have a policy at fat wreck chords which isn't in contracts, but if a band has one really good record and another record loses money, we don't cross-collateralize. >> shad: hmm.

>> fat mike: we can. legally you can, but we just don't do it. well, we have, but only when a band has broken up. if you-- >> shad: where'd you learn your ethics? those ethics? >> fat mike: i--you don't learn 'em, i mean, you just kinda have 'em. an-- >> shad: well, you gotta pick 'em up from somewhere. >> fat mike: uh, i didn't pick 'em from anywhere. it's just being fair. it's--i mean, it's just being i me shad: hmm. um-- >> fat mike: and it's also i've always said the you-win-some-you-lose-some policy-- >> shad: yeah. >> fat mike:--all around my life. you know, sometimes you just--you gotta lose. >> don't make a big deal out of it. just, you know, chalk it up to a loss and move on, move on. >> shad: ok, so, this sort of ethic, uh--to you, it's common sense; it's just being fair. but what's--i guess then, what has reinforced those values for you? >> fat mike: uh, luckily in the '90s, all our bands did great, so i never had to make any kind of moral choice. >> shad: hmm. >> fat mike: 'cause, you know, hey--i mean, success--what i've always said is success is not
