Okay, so I decided to look into this ‘sean hayes scotty’ thing today. Just wanted to get a handle on it, you know?
Getting Started
First thing, I just typed it straight into the search bar. See what pops up. Mostly stuff about Sean Hayes, the actor, and his husband, Scott Icenogle, or Scotty as he’s known. Lots of photos, articles about their relationship, their podcast ‘SmartLess’ with Bateman and Arnett. Okay, fine. But I was looking for something more… practical? Like a process, or something I could dig into from a hands-on perspective.
Digging Deeper (or Trying To)
So, I thought, maybe there’s a project they worked on together? Something specific I could analyze? I went through interview clips, articles about their production company, Hazy Mills Productions. Found lists of shows they produced, like ‘Grimm’, ‘Hot in Cleveland’, ‘Hollywood Game Night’. Good stuff, yeah, but not really a ‘process’ I could track personally, like building something or following a technical path.
It felt like hitting a wall. You see names, you see projects, but you don’t see the ‘how’. It’s all finished product. It’s like looking at a finished website and trying to guess the exact code line by line, or figuring out the whole backend mess just from the front page. Doesn’t work.
Hitting Frustration
I spent a good hour just clicking around. Different search terms. ‘Sean Hayes Scotty project’, ‘Sean Hayes Scott Icenogle process’, ‘Hazy Mills workflow’. Not much came up that wasn’t just surface-level stuff. It’s weird, you expect public figures, especially producers, to have some kind of documented method or case study out there, even if it’s vague. But nope.
- Tried looking for technical details. Maybe ‘Scotty’ was a nickname for a software? Unlikely, but checked anyway. Nothing.
- Looked for specific behind-the-scenes ‘making of’ content that went beyond the usual fluff. Hard to find anything substantial.
- Checked podcast transcripts for mentions of their specific creative or production process together. Mostly banter and interviews with guests.
Realization
So, my practice today? It turned into an exercise in finding the limits of public information. You can know about people, about what they do, but understanding the how, the day-to-day grind, the actual steps they took? That’s often hidden. Especially when it’s not a technical field where processes are sometimes shared more openly.
It’s like trying to figure out how a specific company works internally just by reading their press releases. You get the shiny version, not the messy reality of how things actually get done. So, the ‘sean hayes scotty’ practice ended up being more about the process of searching and hitting that information barrier, rather than finding a specific process about them.
Yeah, that was my journey with it today. Sometimes the practice is just figuring out what you can’t easily find or replicate.
