Speaker 1: Thank you so much everyone who came to our live show.
Speaker 1: That was a really fun night. I'll say, what a blast.
Speaker 1: There were a lot of people there, guys, you guys,
Speaker 1: there were so many people. I was acting it well.
Speaker 1: We all walked on the stage and kind of looked
Speaker 1: up or like, oh, we're doing a show like this
Speaker 1: is it was theater. Yeah, it was a big theater,
Speaker 1: but then it was also just filled and man, the
Speaker 1: love was palpable. Yeah, it was so fun to just
Speaker 1: feel like we all were part of this community. It
Speaker 1: was it was really intense, like it was emotional and
Speaker 1: beautiful and fun. When we make it what thirty seconds
Speaker 1: without you crying, Danielle was, I don't know long, It
Speaker 1: is not that long. I think I walked out and
Speaker 1: immediately started to crying. It was pretty awesome, And thank
Speaker 1: you also for being our first live audience. Like you know,
Speaker 1: we overall we're really happy with the way it went,
Speaker 1: but of course we are critical of ourselves and there
Speaker 1: were some bumps and some some bruises, and uh, we're
Speaker 1: trying to put together what exactly we wanted to look
Speaker 1: and feel like moving forward. But we're so appreciative of
Speaker 1: all of you. Guys who were there, and the feedback
Speaker 1: that you've given us and the things you loved. I mean, writer,
Speaker 1: hands down your opening, which I don't want to ruin
Speaker 1: for people who haven't you know, been to the live show.
Speaker 1: But my goodness, did you ever start us off with
Speaker 1: a bang? And then I feel like really will and
Speaker 1: I let you down for the rest of the war
Speaker 1: because you really started written part that. I think that
Speaker 1: and then the Blue Angels fly over in the middle.
Speaker 1: Those two we're by far the coolest parts of the show.
Speaker 1: That was totally spontaneous, that was gonna happen. When we
Speaker 1: saw Danielle in half that didn't go as well, and
Speaker 1: that was weird. The Magic Country, I just don't know.
Speaker 1: We're just stick with coin tricks. It was very weird.
Speaker 1: And by the way, David Copperfield, I thought charged just
Speaker 1: way too much to show up in the middle of
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah. Crazy. Well, these are some things you
Speaker 1: missed if you weren't at our Lives show. So I
Speaker 1: do have good news for you though, if you missed
Speaker 1: our live show. We have new merch, new show merch.
Speaker 1: How you say it, it is new show merch? Is
Speaker 1: that right? No? I don't know Uh. It debuted at
Speaker 1: our live show and alcohone, but now it is available
Speaker 1: for all of you. It is a Pod Meets World
Speaker 1: was my idea shirt and it is so cute. It's
Speaker 1: in baby blue. Uh. There were only a total of
Speaker 1: four hundred made, so you know, get yours while you can.
Speaker 1: They go from extra small all the way to three
Speaker 1: XL and you can get it on Pod meets World
Speaker 1: show dot com. And thank you for coming up with
Speaker 1: the idea for the podcast. Everybody, what would we do
Speaker 1: without you? I don't know what we do. I don't
Speaker 1: know what we do. Danielle. You finished your movie. I
Speaker 1: finished my movie. It was so hard and it was
Speaker 1: so much work, and like you said, I mean, this
Speaker 1: will be no surprise, but it was everything exactly what
Speaker 1: you told me it was going to be. It was,
Speaker 1: you know, Danielle, you said you are there are going
Speaker 1: to be days where you are very far behind and
Speaker 1: you feel like there's no way we're going to finish,
Speaker 1: and then out of nowhere, you'll have a day where
Speaker 1: suddenly you're very ahead and everything's on track, and you
Speaker 1: don't really know how that happens. And that is exactly
Speaker 1: what happened on the first day we did, we had
Speaker 1: to wrap and we were behind. We had like two
Speaker 1: pages we didn't get and it got bumped to the
Speaker 1: next day. And then that next day somehow we ended
Speaker 1: up making up those two pages and we were you know,
Speaker 1: everything was fine. And then the next day you follow
Speaker 1: a little bit more behind than you have is like
Speaker 1: that pop up and and um, it was. It was
Speaker 1: really exhausting emotionally physically. UM. But I will say that
Speaker 1: we had, for the most part, a truly incredible crew
Speaker 1: who were all people that really wanted to be there. Um.
Speaker 1: It is very important to me that the sets that
Speaker 1: I work on, everyone feels respected and appreciated, and that
Speaker 1: even though it's really freaking hard and we're all in this,
Speaker 1: you know, in the trenches together, UM, you at least
Speaker 1: feel valued. And so I try to keep you know,
Speaker 1: the energy very calm and I want everyone to know
Speaker 1: that there, you know, even when there are mistakes. Because
Speaker 1: also when you're doing these kinds of low budget movies
Speaker 1: and people aren't getting paid truthfully what they're worth, um,
Speaker 1: you get very green people. And for a lot of
Speaker 1: people on our crew, it was their first ever movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was my first movie. It was our script E.
Speaker 1: It was Script Dialogue's first movie. We had people in
Speaker 1: g and E who had never worked on a future
Speaker 1: film before. And um, I mean it's terrifying when you
Speaker 1: started out. But yeah, it is terrifying. And you know
Speaker 1: that makes things go a little slow sometimes because everyone
Speaker 1: and then also it means that there are some mistakes
Speaker 1: because there isn't a ton of experience necessarily, and you know,
Speaker 1: there were times we realized halfway through somebody was missing
Speaker 1: their purse, or somebody was in the wrong wardrobe or
Speaker 1: you know you've already yes, and so kind of kind
Speaker 1: of using multiple cameras, right, we did. We ended up
Speaker 1: using two cameras and that was not the end. That
Speaker 1: wasn't the intention when we first started, but we realized
Speaker 1: we were really able to get very valuable stuff with
Speaker 1: the second camera. Will came by to visit. Trina McGhee
Speaker 1: is one of the stars of the movie. It was
Speaker 1: so much fun to have her and to work with
Speaker 1: her again. And she she she brought to life this
Speaker 1: she's the mother of one of the of the lead
Speaker 1: actress and she was just it was so much fun
Speaker 1: to be with her. Um, and so Will got to
Speaker 1: come by and then it really it made me want
Speaker 1: to do it again. Every time I do that, every
Speaker 1: time I visit somewhere or something like that, it just
Speaker 1: make you miss it. It's and I didn't never when
Speaker 1: I was doing it. You kind of start taking it
Speaker 1: for granted after a while. And then it's been so
Speaker 1: many years. I mean, I haven't been on a movie
Speaker 1: so the last movie I did with two thousand six,
Speaker 1: So you know, I love being on set. I don't
Speaker 1: like being on set without something to do, you know,
Speaker 1: like that. So you know, even visiting a set, I
Speaker 1: kind of get like a little like, why am I
Speaker 1: here stuck on the sideline? But yeah, like I've always
Speaker 1: wished that, like I you know, I mean I still could,
Speaker 1: I guess, like just take on a crew job, you know,
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm so what I would love to do.
Speaker 1: I would love to be a part of camera department.
Speaker 1: I would love to be a first A C. I
Speaker 1: just do not have the eye or the technical skill.
Speaker 1: I can't do it. But that would be my favorite
Speaker 1: job because when you're part of the camera department, you're
Speaker 1: with the actors, You're right in the heart of the action,
Speaker 1: really up close. I just think that's you're helping with
Speaker 1: the look of the film, and so it ends. It
Speaker 1: can be very creative because you have to engage, you know,
Speaker 1: if if the cameras moving, the whole department has to
Speaker 1: be like sort of doing a dance with and setting
Speaker 1: the shots. And if anybody is like you know, if
Speaker 1: you have somebody who can't pull focus in that situation,
Speaker 1: it will ruin the entire thing. Especially back in the
Speaker 1: day when you shot on film you wouldn't even know
Speaker 1: it until afterwards. Um yeah, I would always love to
Speaker 1: be a part of a camera department. But um yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I love I love film. I'm so happy for I have.
Speaker 1: I have a new goal. My new goal is I
Speaker 1: want to be in a lifetime movie. Right so much
Speaker 1: the world I am throwing it out into the world.
Speaker 1: I think that would be one of those fun suggest Hallmark. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's like a Christmas movie. That'd be fun too, Like,
Speaker 1: I think that would be great. They do other stuff
Speaker 1: than Christmas, but Hallmark is. One of the things I
Speaker 1: really like about Hallmark movies is that they are really
Speaker 1: branching away from just romantic relationship storylines. They're really like
Speaker 1: doing more and more like things about siblings or things about. Okay,
Speaker 1: so the sibling story with you too. If we can't
Speaker 1: sell it a sitcom with a multi camera, we will
Speaker 1: take it to Hallmark and make it take it time.
Speaker 1: We'll do a Hallmark movie. I saw a Mark movie
Speaker 1: version with the two of you planned siblings, and I'll
Speaker 1: direct it down. I'm also I never do this, but
Speaker 1: I'm going to. At the very very start of our show,
Speaker 1: here are wonderful executive user Jensen carp sent me an
Speaker 1: email from the group of emails we get and he's like,
Speaker 1: you have to read this one in the air because
Speaker 1: it makes me sound awesome. Okay, let's start this way
Speaker 1: we're doing to thank you. Let's hold on. Let's welcome
Speaker 1: everybody to Pod Meets World. I'm Daniel fishel M, writer Strong,
Speaker 1: and I'm apparently the very awesome Wilfred l and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why. As I read this email, it says,
Speaker 1: just showed my daughter a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio from
Speaker 1: Titanic Days and she said he kind of looks like
Speaker 1: Corey's older brother. You're welcome, will love Tess and lil
Speaker 1: Age six. Oh yeah, my friend, that's right. Leonardo Caprio
Speaker 1: from Titanic. That's all I gotta say. I can leave now.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm gonna just walk out. I actually
Speaker 1: think you are more attractive than Leonardo DiCaprio. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong, Leo. In the nineties
Speaker 1: I had a humongous crush on you, absolutely, but you
Speaker 1: have aged beautifully and you are so handsome. I think
Speaker 1: you're selling yourself the tiniest bit short by by thinking
Speaker 1: it's very sweet. Yeah, I think I think you could
Speaker 1: do better than Leo, and so does test age things.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. There's your ego boost for man.
Speaker 1: I'll say I'm turning red here, which I according to
Speaker 1: my twenty three and me, I am unlikely to blush.
Speaker 1: So I'm amazed that I am. This is great. Well,
Speaker 1: I we are doing another Q and A episode because,
Speaker 1: for one thing, we had so many questions that we
Speaker 1: didn't get to last time, and truthfully, we get thousands
Speaker 1: of questions in our email every month, and some of
Speaker 1: the things you guys ask are just things that will
Speaker 1: come up in our recaps, so we're not gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: answer those during a Q and A episode Because there
Speaker 1: are things like about season three or season four, and
Speaker 1: we will get to them when when they come up.
Speaker 1: But others are things that we think, yeah, this might
Speaker 1: as well be a good time to talk about it.
Speaker 1: I will say that the number one question that came
Speaker 1: out of our last Q and A episode was Danielle,
Speaker 1: what happened with the catfish guy who showed up at
Speaker 1: your school? Yes, the story to the end, we just
Speaker 1: moved on to something else. I was like, and then
Speaker 1: he showed up in my school anyway, and then we
Speaker 1: just like moved on to something else, and everyone was
Speaker 1: so I will finish that story. So, yes, the guy
Speaker 1: showed up at my school, and the school he said
Speaker 1: that he had been sent by my family and was
Speaker 1: there to pick me up. And the school knew right
Speaker 1: away that something was wrong because I wasn't at school
Speaker 1: that week. I was on set on Boy Meat's World,
Speaker 1: and they knew that anybody who was there to pick
Speaker 1: me up would know my work schedule and that wouldn't
Speaker 1: be there, so they knew something was up. So they
Speaker 1: called my parents and they said, this guy has been
Speaker 1: you know, this guy showed up and is here to
Speaker 1: pick you up. And we then started like an investigation.
Speaker 1: We went to the police. The police looked up the
Speaker 1: address where he had been sending me mail. Turns out
Speaker 1: it was a p O box. It wasn't a home address,
Speaker 1: so we didn't know where he lived, but they were
Speaker 1: able to figure out his work address, and a police
Speaker 1: officer showed up at his work with like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what the version of a cease and desist is,
Speaker 1: but it was basically, if you ever contact this person again,
Speaker 1: we're gonna not quite a restraining order exactly, not quite
Speaker 1: a restraining order, but you were and we're putting like
Speaker 1: it's here at work. It was kind of a big deal. Um,
Speaker 1: and yeah, And then I didn't hear from him again
Speaker 1: for a while, and then years later I started getting yeah,
Speaker 1: and then his name's Jensen Gard. Years later I started
Speaker 1: getting kind of odd fan letters again, and my mom's
Speaker 1: like spidy sense just started tayling, and she was like,
Speaker 1: I just, for some reason have a feeling this is
Speaker 1: the same guy. He had switched up his technique or
Speaker 1: his tactic. He wasn't writing to me as a little
Speaker 1: girl anymore, but he Um. I think he was saying
Speaker 1: he was like a prince of somewhere and that he
Speaker 1: wanted he wanted me to be his princess. And I
Speaker 1: just remember my mom reading one of the letters and going,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think we should say, let's see
Speaker 1: the ring. Maybe we should at least contemplate it. Um.
Speaker 1: But I think she just kind of like sense that
Speaker 1: maybe it was him. But then, you know, I think
Speaker 1: I sent him a whole lot of money to help
Speaker 1: him get out of prison, so I apparently I saved
Speaker 1: I helped save him. You know, that can be really scary.
Speaker 1: It can be really scary with that. You guys remember
Speaker 1: the story about the weird fan letters that I started
Speaker 1: getting that I didn't find out about til years later.
Speaker 1: Oh didn't, so Sherman told me when we were when
Speaker 1: I was in my twenties, because they ended up keeping
Speaker 1: it from a at the time. But they started I
Speaker 1: started getting the letters, and Disney like intercepted them and
Speaker 1: brought them to the producer's attention. And there was a
Speaker 1: series of letters where this guy was describing people's daily lives,
Speaker 1: like telling you know, in the letter, he was like, so,
Speaker 1: dear writer, this person wakes up at this address this time,
Speaker 1: goes to this word. And what they realized was that
Speaker 1: this they wanted me to kill them. This guy was
Speaker 1: like asking me to become like a hit man for
Speaker 1: him and was like listing out people's daily schedules in
Speaker 1: order for me to kill them. It was so where
Speaker 1: think you were going to find the time? I don't know,
Speaker 1: and me like why did why? What was you know?
Speaker 1: And I think the writers at the time they were like,
Speaker 1: there's something about Sean Hunter as this sort of like
Speaker 1: sort of troubled outsider that this guy thought maybe like
Speaker 1: he or me, I would be the person to go,
Speaker 1: but you could be murders for him. So weird. I
Speaker 1: never knew about at the time, but they apparently they
Speaker 1: collected all these letters and then they had a big
Speaker 1: discussion about what to do about it, and I think
Speaker 1: they did end up referring the person to the police event,
Speaker 1: but I never got them, so I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: talk about mine because mine's very recent and I don't
Speaker 1: want to encourage it. I don't blame you. You know
Speaker 1: who else got some weird letters? Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Oh, I couldn't even have mad when when
Speaker 1: he had that amount of fame. Um, quickly, they are
Speaker 1: not my stories to share, so I won't do it.
Speaker 1: But if we are ever lucky enough to get Jonathan
Speaker 1: on this podcast, as I guess I, I don't even
Speaker 1: know if he'd want to talk about it, but boy,
Speaker 1: did he ever get some And he's such a quiet
Speaker 1: He was such a quiet, unassuming kid that it's you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: dealing with that kind of stuff at that age. It's
Speaker 1: just something the idea that you even have to put
Speaker 1: that on your radar, that you have to deal with
Speaker 1: with people that are unbalanced. I was so stupid, like
Speaker 1: when I started driving, and so this was when I
Speaker 1: was eighteen, because I moved out of my parents house
Speaker 1: and was living in Manhattan Beach, and people would go
Speaker 1: to our live studio audience tapings and then pull their
Speaker 1: cars off of a lot and park off to the
Speaker 1: side and then wait for us to drive. And then
Speaker 1: I got followed home a couple of times, and at
Speaker 1: least one time I actually got off on an off
Speaker 1: ramp before my off ramp and then stopped at the
Speaker 1: red light at the end of the off ramp and
Speaker 1: it was just me and the car behind me that
Speaker 1: had been following me, and I got out of my
Speaker 1: car and walked up to the driver's side and there
Speaker 1: was two guys and they rolled down their window and
Speaker 1: I said, this is not cool. I know what you're doing.
Speaker 1: I've seen you been following me from all the way
Speaker 1: from back there. What are you doing? You want to
Speaker 1: see where I live? And then what this is scary?
Speaker 1: And they were like, we're so sorry. I really apologize.
Speaker 1: I know the stupid like what talk about Chris and
Speaker 1: just like just so you're invincible decisions you make at
Speaker 1: that age. But yeah, like I would never do something
Speaker 1: like that now, but oil boy, I was a real
Speaker 1: maroon back in the day. All right, Um, so our
Speaker 1: second top question that we were asked, and I will
Speaker 1: say the second question. The second question we'd like to
Speaker 1: ask is do you story you know the story of that.
Speaker 1: I've never heard that. Bugs Bunny used to say, it's
Speaker 1: in the Looney Tunes, And it was because you couldn't
Speaker 1: say the word more on television back then. They thought
Speaker 1: that the word moron was you know, like a real
Speaker 1: insult or you know, just a or something. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like, so instead he called everybody maroons or whatever,
Speaker 1: or maybe I have heard that. I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: this is honestly, it's become a very controversial subject on
Speaker 1: the hard Meats world. It is honestly maybe bigger than
Speaker 1: what is it Llama pet Writer recently mentioned a certain
Speaker 1: popularity he has on the internet and he said Jeff
Speaker 1: rather than Giff. It is Jeff, thank you. So the
Speaker 1: three of us are all and complete agreement. That the
Speaker 1: three because are in complete agreement that it is Jeff exactly. Now,
Speaker 1: to be fair, the creator has also said that both
Speaker 1: are acceptable. But it is supposed to be Jiff and
Speaker 1: it doesn't come from graphics like people think o that
Speaker 1: would be the hard g It doesn't come from that,
Speaker 1: he said. It is supposed to be from in a
Speaker 1: Jiffy for the fast pace and the shortness of the image.
Speaker 1: So it is Jeff. It is not pronounced gift if
Speaker 1: you want to say gift. They have said that now
Speaker 1: both are acceptable. However, if you come for Writer one
Speaker 1: more time and say what he says Jiff like the
Speaker 1: penut butter, and you make fun of him one more time,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find where you live and I'm gonna follow
Speaker 1: you off. I'm gonna follow you home, and they're no,
Speaker 1: Mobby's not gonna do that. But it is Jeff, guys, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's Jeff. There's so they're very quick. Story. Um, Gene Roddenberry,
Speaker 1: who created Star Trek, went to a Star Trek invention
Speaker 1: and he stood up in front of everybody and between
Speaker 1: the Star trek uh fans there is a break between
Speaker 1: trek eas and trekkers, and so he stood up and said,
Speaker 1: I want to welcome all you trekkers here. Are trek
Speaker 1: hes here, And somebody stood up and said it's trekkers
Speaker 1: and he looked at him and he said, it's trek ease.
Speaker 1: I invented the thing. So it's that same kind of thing.
Speaker 1: It's like when the inventor says it's called a Jeff.
Speaker 1: If you find the comment first, you get to name
Speaker 1: the comment. That's the way it works. So it's that
Speaker 1: same kind of thing. Yeah, it is Jeff. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to ruin all of your lives, but it's Jeff. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's get into some questions. I thought this was a
Speaker 1: really interesting question, and I, well, I don't know how
Speaker 1: much the three of us all know about it. You
Speaker 1: guys probably know more about it than I do. But
Speaker 1: the question was, it's usually the case our residuals still
Speaker 1: good money for you guys, And I thought, that's really
Speaker 1: interesting that we've never really explained how residuals work, what
Speaker 1: residuals are. How much do we even know how residuals work.
Speaker 1: It's truthfully, we don't know. We just trust the system
Speaker 1: that the system is working. Right. That's not a very
Speaker 1: smart thing to do, especially at least in the animation world.
Speaker 1: You have to fight and hunt down a lot of
Speaker 1: your residuals sometimes so forever. I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: very going to be it could be a very long
Speaker 1: winded answer that I don't want it to be. But
Speaker 1: for every different type of production, film, streaming, TV, animation, commercials,
Speaker 1: there are their own set of rules for residuals. And
Speaker 1: then it's also different based on the budget of all
Speaker 1: of those things, right like low budget indies, ultra low budget,
Speaker 1: low budgets all there. They all have their own specific
Speaker 1: title and and they are you know, they get their
Speaker 1: titles based on exactly how much money is going into
Speaker 1: the production. Um, depending on what that is, that your
Speaker 1: residuals could be different. Just speaking to our experience with
Speaker 1: Boy Meets World, UM, I think the way residuals work
Speaker 1: is that the first time in episode airs, you you know,
Speaker 1: you well, we get paid our weekly salary or our
Speaker 1: per episode salary, and then the first time it airs
Speaker 1: you get that payment, not that the first time you've
Speaker 1: been paid for When reruns you get paid almost the
Speaker 1: same amount. Again, if it's on network, if it's network,
Speaker 1: well that's what I'm saying for us with Meets World.
Speaker 1: It also depends on the network. Depends on Yeah, because
Speaker 1: if it was cable as opposed to network network at
Speaker 1: the time, like if it's aired on Disney Channel, that
Speaker 1: we'd get less money than if it aired again on ABC.
Speaker 1: But when we were on Boy Meats World from to
Speaker 1: two thousand, yes, our reruns until we went into syndication,
Speaker 1: our reruns were only on ABC, right, yes, right, because
Speaker 1: it wasn't shown anywhere. It wasn't anywhere even really had
Speaker 1: reruns at the time. I don't think they ever did reruns.
Speaker 1: Wasn't it just if we had if we had an
Speaker 1: episode that didn't like we There was times where we
Speaker 1: didn't have a new episode, but they'd still put up
Speaker 1: an older Boy Meats World. Wouldn't they do that? Also,
Speaker 1: what would happen during the summer they didn't have the show? No,
Speaker 1: I think during the summer of t G I F
Speaker 1: always tried to do something else. It was like Summer
Speaker 1: Splash or ABC this that they did not they saved
Speaker 1: the show. I mean that was the idea. It was
Speaker 1: that that was why you wanted to have enough episodes
Speaker 1: to have a syndication package that they could sell other
Speaker 1: local which was every episodes, because then you would have
Speaker 1: enough episodes that it would be a worthwhile investment for
Speaker 1: a local channel to purchase the rights to play that
Speaker 1: those episodes as a package. Um, so you would always
Speaker 1: want the thing. All of this is pretty antiquated now,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's totally and and so the way
Speaker 1: it used to work is that basically sag the Screen
Speaker 1: Actors Guild. You know, the idea of the whole idea
Speaker 1: behind residuals was that you could only have to work
Speaker 1: a few times a year, Right like if you did
Speaker 1: a commercial or you did a TV a guest star
Speaker 1: on one show, that that would sustain you by uh
Speaker 1: continuing to pay you every time a company re aired
Speaker 1: it because they make more money off of airing a rerun. Right,
Speaker 1: they can still sell advertisers on the idea that they're
Speaker 1: showing content. But you as an actor of only you
Speaker 1: showed up that one day or that one week and
Speaker 1: did that one job. But they're making money off of
Speaker 1: your image and your content that you participated. And so
Speaker 1: the whole idea behind residuals is that writers, directors and actors,
Speaker 1: the creatives that help, you know, create the content, can
Speaker 1: continue to make money off of that content as it
Speaker 1: keeps making money in other contexts. And so you you
Speaker 1: continuously get checks in the mail that can be tiny,
Speaker 1: that can be I've gotten five cent checks, I've gotten
Speaker 1: two cent checks many times. Uh so, And and there's
Speaker 1: a there's a formula that they figured out that they've
Speaker 1: agreed to basically between the unions, like so the director's Guild,
Speaker 1: the Writer's Guild, the screen actors Guild, they have to
Speaker 1: make separate agreements with the content created are the studios
Speaker 1: and the networks as to how much they're going to
Speaker 1: pay whenever an episode re airs and in a different context.
Speaker 1: So in other words, it's cheaper for it was when
Speaker 1: we were on on on boy Leats World, the unions
Speaker 1: wanted to support the new cable industry because cable was
Speaker 1: brand new at the time, and so in order to
Speaker 1: help cable companies be able to afford content. The unions
Speaker 1: agreed to take less money than the networks would have
Speaker 1: to pay if they showed the same content. So if
Speaker 1: an air an episode of Boy Meats World aired all
Speaker 1: a network show, ABC, NBC, CBS and eventually Fox, they
Speaker 1: would have to pay a premium. They would have to
Speaker 1: pay a certain amount, and we would actually make good
Speaker 1: money if those episodes. It was almost equivalent to our
Speaker 1: original paycheck, I think. Um. And then they could every
Speaker 1: time they showed that same episode a second, or third
Speaker 1: or four it got less and less money away every time,
Speaker 1: I think, I think it almost have every time. But
Speaker 1: if a cable company decided to show our show, they
Speaker 1: could show an episode eight times without having to pay
Speaker 1: us back in the day, or or they could only
Speaker 1: pay us a little bit and that would allow them
Speaker 1: to show them episode eight times. Um. And so the
Speaker 1: cable industry of course got huge and became very powerful,
Speaker 1: and uh, it's became a little ridiculous that they could
Speaker 1: get away with pain very little on the residuals, so
Speaker 1: everything had to be renegotiated. And then, of course the
Speaker 1: next thing was streamers streaming. So for a while there
Speaker 1: streamers could show content without having to pay for any residuals. Now,
Speaker 1: there are some residuals structured into but it's still not
Speaker 1: great a lot less than network television used to be.
Speaker 1: And that's because you know, streamers don't show commercials often
Speaker 1: the same way that network I used to show commercials.
Speaker 1: A perfect kind of example, So last week I got
Speaker 1: a residual check. I did one episode of thirty Rock
Speaker 1: from the Sun in two thousand and I got a
Speaker 1: check last week for forty four dollars. Okay, So it's like,
Speaker 1: and I have that's the first one. About three or
Speaker 1: four times a year, I'll get a check that's a
Speaker 1: dollar or less for Law and Order when I was fifteen,
Speaker 1: because it do you remember the residual bar and was
Speaker 1: it the residual bar and burbank where is it's called residuals.
Speaker 1: And if you go in with a check under a dollar,
Speaker 1: or it used to be, if you went in with
Speaker 1: the residual check under a dollar, they'd hang it on
Speaker 1: the wall and they'd give you a drink. So there
Speaker 1: is like residual a little residual checks all over the place,
Speaker 1: which is kind of a cool idea. Yeah, that is
Speaker 1: a cool idea. Um, yeah. I mean I think the
Speaker 1: thing that that would we would say two people is, um,
Speaker 1: there's still some money coming in from residuals, but it
Speaker 1: is not even remotely enough to live on. It's diminishing
Speaker 1: returns throughout the years. That's yeah. But I think if
Speaker 1: you were on a hitch, I mean I think a
Speaker 1: show like Simpsons is still getting more incredible residuals. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Or if you were on um, you know, my guess
Speaker 1: is because something like Big Bang Theory is everywhere. You know,
Speaker 1: they probably got a very good but I remember somebody,
Speaker 1: But oftentimes I think, like when Friends negotiated that they
Speaker 1: got paid a million dollars each, I think they were.
Speaker 1: They might because they that was part of the negotiations
Speaker 1: that you buy us out per episode so we do
Speaker 1: not continue to get for the for the producers and
Speaker 1: the creators of the show. I mean, somebody once told
Speaker 1: me that Charles in Charge when it was when into
Speaker 1: syndications was worth three million dollars to the creators and
Speaker 1: the and the stars of the show. I mean the
Speaker 1: famous one was was when Seinfeld went into syndication and
Speaker 1: Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld split a billion dollars so
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's for the creators of the show,
Speaker 1: um and executive bruces of the show. It can be
Speaker 1: a lot of money, but I think it's still the case.
Speaker 1: It might not be with everything is different with streaming. Well,
Speaker 1: perfect example with with animation. When back in the day,
Speaker 1: you used to get a set amount of money for
Speaker 1: your session fee. You'd signed you sign a contract every
Speaker 1: time you went in to do every individual episode, even
Speaker 1: if you're a regular on the show, and you'd sign
Speaker 1: that and then you'd get residuals. Now, if you go
Speaker 1: do a regular session fee for something like a Netflix,
Speaker 1: the check is slightly bigger because they know you're not
Speaker 1: going to get the same residuals. So it's you're signing
Speaker 1: a slightly bigger uh day player check, you know, contract,
Speaker 1: but it's not breaking the bank, but it's like an
Speaker 1: extra like hundred fifty dollars or something like that. So
Speaker 1: it's yeah, the whole thing is different with streamers. And
Speaker 1: that's why every five or six years when new technology
Speaker 1: comes out, there's everyone's like, why is SAG going to
Speaker 1: strike again? It's like, well, because now this new thing
Speaker 1: has been invented that wasn't here before and actors are
Speaker 1: getting screwed, so they're gonna, you know, we have to
Speaker 1: negotiate because we should be able to get something from
Speaker 1: now you're showing our show at nauseum and we're getting nothing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they need to be in a renegotiation. That
Speaker 1: does it happens like every decade? Well, I think that's
Speaker 1: everything you've ever wanted and nothing and everything you ever
Speaker 1: wanted to know about information. So what is a line
Speaker 1: from Boy Meets World that you have repeated the most
Speaker 1: throughout your life? If any? Wow, because I do cameo,
Speaker 1: I would probably have to say, lose one friend, lose
Speaker 1: all friends, lose yourself, or life's tough, get a helmet.
Speaker 1: Those two are the people that they want those the most.
Speaker 1: I would probably say this outfit with this hair, hello
Speaker 1: but bye? I am so I can see that. What
Speaker 1: was that from the haircut episode haircut hair today, goon tomorrow?
Speaker 1: When you guys are like, Topanga is not going to
Speaker 1: change at all. I think your Shawn says that, like
Speaker 1: to Panga, you know, she's she's not the type to
Speaker 1: care about appearance. And then I come out and I
Speaker 1: say this outfit with this hair, hello but bye, I'm
Speaker 1: so at them all. Her hair is five inches shorter.
Speaker 1: She can't totally change the person she is. I mean,
Speaker 1: my favorite line that I think about all the time,
Speaker 1: which I've loved to discover something that um that the
Speaker 1: fans look too, is is they want you to take
Speaker 1: the roles like That was one thing we used to
Speaker 1: always say. And of course because and I think it's
Speaker 1: probably because you're at a restaurant often where they deliver roles,
Speaker 1: and so you think about that line, but I don't
Speaker 1: actually say it. But that's one of my favorite lines.
Speaker 1: You have to You have two writer that I think
Speaker 1: are arguably too of the best comedy lines in our
Speaker 1: show period. I think I know one of them that
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, but I don't say. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't like which one the don't move Maybe maybe he
Speaker 1: doesn't see us. That's brilliant. That's one of my favorite lines.
Speaker 1: And I'll get as sick as I can get without
Speaker 1: actually dying, I think, is one of the other very
Speaker 1: clever very kids won't get it, but adults will kind
Speaker 1: of lines. Those are another one that I've often thought
Speaker 1: so dumb. It is what a scuba stand for something
Speaker 1: something creepy and andy. If I remember correctly, that's a
Speaker 1: Jeff Manel line. We have to ask him if he
Speaker 1: came up with that, because I think that that was
Speaker 1: a Manel line. Uh, we haven't done that episode on
Speaker 1: the questions to ask Minnell to so many things that
Speaker 1: have come up that will be like Minnell, will no,
Speaker 1: let's ask Minnell. Yeah, okay, So another question, were we
Speaker 1: encouraged to improv do it during rehearsals or taping encouraged
Speaker 1: as a loading Absolutely not. I was never told not to,
Speaker 1: so I kind of did a lot. I think that
Speaker 1: there was a word for word obsession on the show
Speaker 1: if you messed up a line or really you were
Speaker 1: told to improv. Will I wasn't told to improv, but
Speaker 1: I improved all the time, and they were. They would
Speaker 1: always keep the camera Like I could think of a
Speaker 1: number of scenes where I just threw stuff in and
Speaker 1: they usually kept it. But mostly you were throwing in
Speaker 1: like at the end of a scene, the beginning of
Speaker 1: the scene. I would button sound or like I would
Speaker 1: butt in scenes a lot, or I would do something
Speaker 1: in run through that they then wrote into The switch
Speaker 1: of the scot was something they did quite a bit again.
Speaker 1: You and Ben and Danielle had had a different acting
Speaker 1: experience on the show than I did. I was very
Speaker 1: much kind of left alone as I as we got
Speaker 1: later in the show, especially where it was just kind
Speaker 1: of like if I can get the laugh, go get
Speaker 1: the laugh. That was kind of what it was. You
Speaker 1: guys had the more dramatic kind of storyline, so I
Speaker 1: think they wanted to stick to that more. And then
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, now watch will go sneeze
Speaker 1: lottery tickets? You know, So it was I I was
Speaker 1: not encouraged is not the right word, but I certainly
Speaker 1: was not discouraged from IMPROVM as how I would say it,
Speaker 1: what do you guys know about the episodes that were
Speaker 1: banned from Disney Channel and will you be rewatching them?
Speaker 1: I tried to. It was so funny. The other day
Speaker 1: I was trying I was working on something for us
Speaker 1: and I was trying to remember all. I think there's
Speaker 1: four and I was trying to remember which ones they were.
Speaker 1: There's two I think that I have to do with drinking. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's one where Korey and to Panga are contemplating losing
Speaker 1: their virginity from from prom okay. And then there's one
Speaker 1: other and I can't remember what it was. Was it
Speaker 1: the honeymoon episode because they actually make love or is
Speaker 1: it because that was just such a terrible episode that
Speaker 1: they didn't want to air it on a television anywhere
Speaker 1: in the world. Um. But I think I can't think
Speaker 1: of what the fourth one is and I didn't want
Speaker 1: to google it. I've been I'm like, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to google it, and I want to see what it is.
Speaker 1: But does anybody know of are those streaming on Disney
Speaker 1: Plus or did Disney Plus not put those on either?
Speaker 1: I do not know the answer to this question. I
Speaker 1: don't know how many there are. I think it's four,
Speaker 1: but it also maybe five. Um, and I do think
Speaker 1: they were drinking, yeah, drinking related and sex related. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're on Disney Plus. So we
Speaker 1: do need to research it though, because I don't know
Speaker 1: when the first one is that will come to and
Speaker 1: if we're watching it on Disney Plus, we're gonna need
Speaker 1: to find it somewhere else. But not only that, but
Speaker 1: Disney would internally edit episodes. They would cut lines, they
Speaker 1: would cut beats. Now with other shows, because I know
Speaker 1: mash backwards and forwards and mashes ones, and they're cutting
Speaker 1: stuff out. Well, no, but I know that Disney when
Speaker 1: they re aired our show on Disney Channel would cut
Speaker 1: because maybe it was a scream episode. They probably cut
Speaker 1: the scream episode. They probably didn't air that on Disney Channel, right,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. You also know that
Speaker 1: when that there's different sometimes on cable syndication, there's different
Speaker 1: timing than there is on UH network. So so a
Speaker 1: network run was twenty three minutes plus seven minutes of commercials,
Speaker 1: So a UH cable run might have been short, just
Speaker 1: they might have short and no, because they didn't have
Speaker 1: they do have commercials on Disney. No, they didn't have
Speaker 1: commercials on Disney Channel. They don't. They did know they do, Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: But to answer the question, um, I mean I remember
Speaker 1: the drinking stuff very vividly, like you know, acting those episodes, um,
Speaker 1: and feeling challenged by them and discussing like how to
Speaker 1: play drunk and all that stuff of course. Um. And
Speaker 1: then I remember really not liking the prom episode. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were taping it. I remember being very upset during
Speaker 1: that entire week. I was very upset with the adults
Speaker 1: on our set. The way that they were approaching this
Speaker 1: UM specifically because UM, we were not discussing UM safe sex.
Speaker 1: That the fact that we would not bring up Corey
Speaker 1: and to Banga using condoms or having a discussion about
Speaker 1: birth control at all, and yet the entire episode is
Speaker 1: about whether will they or will they not in the
Speaker 1: bedroom in the hotel room, and it was and I
Speaker 1: just remember being so upset. And then like three weeks
Speaker 1: and I brought it up. I remember talking to Michael
Speaker 1: about it and saying, like, can we talk about this,
Speaker 1: Like maybe you generationally don't understand that, but like we
Speaker 1: were growing up in the era of AIDS, this is
Speaker 1: something that we have to talk about, Like when you
Speaker 1: are discussing losing your virginity, you discuss who you know,
Speaker 1: how you're going to do it, and like how to
Speaker 1: be safe about it. And he completely blew me off
Speaker 1: and told me it was a ridiculous thing to worry
Speaker 1: about UM and that we don't even need to discuss
Speaker 1: it UM. And I felt at the time that that
Speaker 1: was incredibly irresponsible. And and then I remember like three
Speaker 1: episodes later, we were doing an episode where we made
Speaker 1: a joke about sharing razors, where Corey and like to
Speaker 1: pangas talk about sharing razors in college, and I remember
Speaker 1: during a note session, Michael Jacob saying, you know, I
Speaker 1: recently read that hepatitis can spread through razors? Are we
Speaker 1: being irresponsible by And I was like, I just remember
Speaker 1: being so pissed. I was like, oh, this is where
Speaker 1: now we're going to talk about, like us hepatitis. But
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, the notion of like discussing safe sex
Speaker 1: was off the table, even though the entire episode was
Speaker 1: about having sex. So I I remember being very upset
Speaker 1: during that episode and just generationally feeling that difference, like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not something that they were concerned with,
Speaker 1: And I felt like, you know, first of all, I
Speaker 1: remember being very uncomfortable all the sex conversation. I'm going
Speaker 1: the world like it was just weird, um, you know,
Speaker 1: And and it was so I remember rolling my eyes
Speaker 1: about all the like Corey to Panga virgin stuf. It's
Speaker 1: like it just felt so uh precious, outdated and also
Speaker 1: just weird to be talking about, like why are we
Speaker 1: obsessing over this um even at the time, and then um,
Speaker 1: and then yet if you're going to do a whole
Speaker 1: episode about it, to not discuss it responsibly felt really all.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I think I'll probably have more memories.
Speaker 1: I remember also feeling very uncomfortable the whole week, um
Speaker 1: for similar reasons, But I don't necessarily have specific memories
Speaker 1: other than just kind of um ickiness um about the week.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I mean, yeah, I don't. I
Speaker 1: honestly don't remember the episode. And I think there's three
Speaker 1: episodes that and it says three that haven't been I
Speaker 1: did finally google three that weren't on Disney Channel, um,
Speaker 1: and that this is one of them. I think this
Speaker 1: is the one called if you can't be the with
Speaker 1: the one you love? Is that that that one? Season five? Um?
Speaker 1: I believe that's what they're talking about. But I mean
Speaker 1: I get them doing an episode about losing your virginity
Speaker 1: on problem not. I think that's a natural thing to
Speaker 1: kind of happen. Yeah, I mean, that's that's a that's
Speaker 1: a real issue too. I think bring up but not
Speaker 1: bring up the safe sex thing doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: But um, yes, promises promises you can't be with the
Speaker 1: one you love, So that's got to be a different
Speaker 1: one then, um Shawn's character one. Yeah, see again, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know these episodes promises, promises, and then
Speaker 1: the third one is the Truth about Honesty. Mm hmm ah,
Speaker 1: no idea. So maybe maybe one of those is the
Speaker 1: is the and when I don't know that says you
Speaker 1: can watch him on Hulu. When Topanga used Cory's razor,
Speaker 1: he became on set, which I mean, that's literally the
Speaker 1: episode you're talking about, is the Truth about Honesty. We
Speaker 1: have them on DVD, so we will watch We will
Speaker 1: watch them if they're not on Disney Plus, we will
Speaker 1: watch them on DVD. I don't remember any of those episodes.

Speaker 1: would you ever be interested in revisiting the Boy Meets
Speaker 1: World unit verse? I think now is probably a fine
Speaker 1: time to mention that a couple of years ago we
Speaker 1: talked very briefly about doing a totally weird offshoot of
Speaker 1: a Boy Meets World reboot that actually was kind of
Speaker 1: in the horror genre. It was it was such a
Speaker 1: fun idea and a fun script, and we were all
Speaker 1: going to be able to, you know, be producers or
Speaker 1: writers and actually we ourselves correct, we were playing ourselves,
Speaker 1: having been on a fictionalized version of a Boy meets
Speaker 1: World that we were calling something else. Um, but we
Speaker 1: were all involved. It was going to be really fun
Speaker 1: and it was going to be like Scream meets a
Speaker 1: Boy meets World ish reboot, and um, we took it
Speaker 1: pretty far. We got pretty far in the process. We
Speaker 1: actually sold the idea to a streamer who I will
Speaker 1: not mention, and then said streamer wasn't really sure exactly
Speaker 1: what they were doing with their their their network, if
Speaker 1: you will, and it ended up getting dropped. And then
Speaker 1: we took the idea to uh Sony, and Sony bought
Speaker 1: the idea and we were really excited. But then Sony
Speaker 1: and this other streamer couldn't work out the terms to
Speaker 1: let us go over to Sony, and the whole idea
Speaker 1: just kind of now lays their dormant in a puddle
Speaker 1: at our feet. So well, you said something, Danielle that
Speaker 1: I thought was amazing at the time, because we were
Speaker 1: talking about and reboots were big, and you said, you
Speaker 1: know what, it's never been done that I really want
Speaker 1: to do. I want to reboot the caste which is
Speaker 1: I don't want to reboot the show. I want us
Speaker 1: all the whole cast to get together and do a
Speaker 1: different project as different people, totally different show. I just
Speaker 1: think it would be I think it's kind of an
Speaker 1: interesting experiment, agreed. I think that is you take the
Speaker 1: cast of a show and you put them in a
Speaker 1: different show with different characters. You see if people would
Speaker 1: be able to accept them as other characters. And I
Speaker 1: think if they're different enough, it's cool enough that they would.
Speaker 1: But that idea always stuck with me, the idea of
Speaker 1: rebooting the cast as opposed to the show. I think
Speaker 1: that's great. And we knew that Writer really didn't have
Speaker 1: much of an interest in being an actor. So Writer
Speaker 1: actually ended up in a coma at the end of
Speaker 1: the first episode, which got him to just basically lay
Speaker 1: there very still exactly. So whatever this, whatever, this new
Speaker 1: version is of us rebooting the cast, Writer, you can
Speaker 1: be in a you can be in a coma, I
Speaker 1: think it. And you're just direct exactly perfect, all right.
Speaker 1: So yes, I think, like Will said, um, we have
Speaker 1: no interest in doing another Boy Meets World related show,
Speaker 1: but rebooting something where we all got to work together
Speaker 1: and we had agency in it and could have a
Speaker 1: say in it from a producing and writing and directing standpoint,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I mean, obviously, we all love each
Speaker 1: other and we love working together, and so we're always
Speaker 1: coming up with ideas and things that we could do.
Speaker 1: So you never know, maybe somewhere down the line you'll
Speaker 1: see You'll see us doing something. Um, someone wanted to know,
Speaker 1: can we get evidence that Danielle wrapped a bust of
Speaker 1: rhyme song during MTV spring break? I have a bet
Speaker 1: with my brother. I remember it. He says it never happened.
Speaker 1: We can't find it anywhere. Who is right? Did you?
Speaker 1: I most certainly did, and it was per Say What
Speaker 1: Karaoke during MTVS spring Break, and UM, it was so
Speaker 1: much fun. I mean, you guys know what a big
Speaker 1: hip hop head I've been for most of my life,
Speaker 1: and so when I got to do say What karaoke,
Speaker 1: I wanted to do that song and I did it.
Speaker 1: It was really fun. You cannot find it anywhere. I
Speaker 1: have no copy of it. I don't I I don't
Speaker 1: know where it is. MTV is very believe YouTube doesn't
Speaker 1: have it. MTV is very uh, they are very protective
Speaker 1: over their I P and I don't know, it's just
Speaker 1: not there. It comes up all the time that people
Speaker 1: are like, did I is that a fever dream. Did
Speaker 1: I dream that? And it's like, no, it really happened,
Speaker 1: but there is no evidence on it of it online.
Speaker 1: So I remember you talking to me about this. Isn't
Speaker 1: it true that one of the reasons like you didn't
Speaker 1: win or something that is because you were wrapping faster
Speaker 1: than Busta rhymes. Yeah, and it's not necessarily because I'm
Speaker 1: faster than Busta rhymes. It was the way the earpiece
Speaker 1: was in my ear and the way so I actually lost,
Speaker 1: Like I came in third place. I'm at Zappa, I
Speaker 1: think one or maybe it was the kids from Geeks
Speaker 1: freaksing Geeks, maybe they won something, but either way, I
Speaker 1: came in third place. And um, my performance was good,
Speaker 1: but in my earpiece and the way the audience was
Speaker 1: yelling and everything, the music actually started in my ear
Speaker 1: sooner than it started elsewhere, and so I was like
Speaker 1: I was, I started a little fast and then yes,
Speaker 1: I was rapping faster than Busta rhymes. Um, and I
Speaker 1: think that may have affected my my win, but yes
Speaker 1: I did it and it was really fun. And um,
Speaker 1: you win the bet with your brother, so that's very exciting. Um,
Speaker 1: do you still get Disney perks? Do you have to
Speaker 1: pay for Disney plus we get no Disney perks, and yes,
Speaker 1: we have to pay for Disney was I have a
Speaker 1: story about that. Actually, we used to be able to
Speaker 1: call up and say I want to go to Disneyland
Speaker 1: next week or whatever, and they would give us free tickets. Um.
Speaker 1: When we went to Disney World, they would fly us
Speaker 1: there for events and then we would get the v
Speaker 1: I P Guest guide, like taking us to the front
Speaker 1: of the line. But like, I remember being able to
Speaker 1: go to Disney And I didn't take advantage of this
Speaker 1: too often, but I remember being able to go to
Speaker 1: Disneyland just by calling us, you know, the publicity department,
Speaker 1: saying hey, could I get tickets, and they would give
Speaker 1: me tickets um for me and my friends to go.
Speaker 1: I only did it a few times, but I remember
Speaker 1: when our show got uh got canceled, or when it
Speaker 1: was over. I went to New York to like the
Speaker 1: week after our show was canceled, and I had talked
Speaker 1: to somebody about getting tickets to go see The Lion
Speaker 1: King on Broadway, uh and the they didn't get back
Speaker 1: to me. And I remember the show in New York.
Speaker 1: I was calling to Pelicity department being like, hey can
Speaker 1: I yeah, yeah, right, we'll get back to you about that. Click.
Speaker 1: Never heard back, Like the just ended, no more Disney tickets,
Speaker 1: own more ability to see Broadway shows Disney Broadway Show,
Speaker 1: and I never heard back from the publicity department. It
Speaker 1: was like, literally the week after the show ended. I
Speaker 1: was in New York being like, hey, you know, Lisa whomever, like,
Speaker 1: remember those tickets we've done. Yeah, I'll look into that, right,
Speaker 1: we'll get back to you. Never. I still do some
Speaker 1: voice over stuff for Disney, so I still get some
Speaker 1: of the Disney perks. That's good. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: direct for Disney, writer directed for Disney. They don't give
Speaker 1: them to the directors, they give them to the actors. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: and yeah, you get like a certain amount every season.
Speaker 1: You'd be like, okay, you get you know, twelve free
Speaker 1: tickets or something. And so it used to be really
Speaker 1: fun because you could just call up and be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: me and three are my friends are coming, and they'd
Speaker 1: put your names down and get the very fun company
Speaker 1: to work for. My favorite, my favorite event was when
Speaker 1: you know, they shut down Disney after five PM during
Speaker 1: the holiday season for a couple of nights, Like there's
Speaker 1: like three nights where Disney employees and not actors, but
Speaker 1: everybody works in every aspect of Disney can go for
Speaker 1: the holiday for for it's like only open to Disney
Speaker 1: employees from five pm on during the holiday season for
Speaker 1: a couple of days. And that is so much fun
Speaker 1: because it's at night and the cark is, you know,
Speaker 1: at like twenty percent capacity. And I just remember like
Speaker 1: me and Ben running around because they would take us
Speaker 1: down in a bus when that would happen, and all
Speaker 1: the Boy Meets World cast and crew would go down together,
Speaker 1: and I just I just remember those. I have such
Speaker 1: fun memories because I felt like Disney Disneyland was ours,
Speaker 1: you know not. It was like it was like the
Speaker 1: whole park was was Disney people and Disney eployees. And
Speaker 1: we would get um an ornament to like a Disney
Speaker 1: special around when you left the park. Uh, And I did,
Speaker 1: and there was something magical about that. I did that
Speaker 1: all the way up into college. I remember going to
Speaker 1: those things and I still, yeah, I missed them. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: there's great. One of my coolest memories ever in my
Speaker 1: life is Melissa jone Hart and I were shooting something
Speaker 1: for Disney and Disney World, and we had to shoot
Speaker 1: it at night, so we had the whole park to ourselves.
Speaker 1: That literally it was you had the Magic Kingdom. It
Speaker 1: was the two of us together, just walking around at
Speaker 1: like three o'clock in the morning. All the rides were working,
Speaker 1: everything was up because they were shooting stuff, and it
Speaker 1: was empty, so it was like, here's Disney World. It
Speaker 1: was so cool. It was awesome. No, I that is
Speaker 1: still so fun. I love those memories of us on
Speaker 1: those cast and crew knights. It was so much fun.
Speaker 1: That's the story Lee told actually about Lee and I
Speaker 1: on the bus together. Daniel Do you remember you and
Speaker 1: I doing one of those together? Do you remember? Because
Speaker 1: I had totally forgotten about this and then somebody sent
Speaker 1: me a clip of it. You and I were flown
Speaker 1: to Disney World for the opening of the Animal Kingdom. Oh,
Speaker 1: I do remember that, and you and I just hung
Speaker 1: out there for a bunch of days and a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff, and it was just the two of us,
Speaker 1: and it was like Drew Carey and we were hanging
Speaker 1: out with Drew carry and he was throwing out us.
Speaker 1: Like Danielle will tell us about the animals and we
Speaker 1: were hanging out with everybody there. I forgot about that entirely,
Speaker 1: but yes, yeah, you and I did a whole big thing.
Speaker 1: It was a ton of fun. Yeah. We also did
Speaker 1: the anniversary of Disney World. That was a week long
Speaker 1: celebration and they flew us all out there and we
Speaker 1: were doing so much press. We were there for a while.
Speaker 1: Like that was huge event. That was cool. We had that.
Speaker 1: We had the Chicago Bulls private plane fly us here.
Speaker 1: Remember that. It was a little cabins and everything, and
Speaker 1: I just remember sitting there playing magic, the gathering with
Speaker 1: you in the in the plane as we were flying there.
Speaker 1: I only flew back, so it would have been on
Speaker 1: the flight. Okay, the only time because it was my
Speaker 1: first time on a private plane. Um. But yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1: I remember meeting Michael Jay Fox that week. We all
Speaker 1: sat there and talked to him. It was the coolest thing.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was like meeting my my hero.
Speaker 1: It was I was star strive speechless. It was one
Speaker 1: of the coolest things that ever happened. And he knew
Speaker 1: who we were like that he did because he knew
Speaker 1: be Remember Ben was like he was in Mr. Fox. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's like Mr Fox, He's like you guys, And
Speaker 1: we sat and talked with him, and then he was
Speaker 1: in the parade of the Hand of Us and I
Speaker 1: remember we kept making faces at each other and I
Speaker 1: was just like it was the coolest thing in the world.
Speaker 1: Fox knows who I am. Those are such good memories. Um.
Speaker 1: So this is from Tyler Eikenberg from the episode one
Speaker 1: oh two. In the water Fight, Amy is using a hose,
Speaker 1: which got him thinking about the show's plumbing. How much
Speaker 1: of a set was actually set up for plumbing. Were
Speaker 1: the sinks and toilets and showers actually working? Did any
Speaker 1: of the sinks work? No, they have to always add
Speaker 1: a water tank. You have their offset make it work.
Speaker 1: They will say do you want a functional sink? Do
Speaker 1: you need a functional whatever, and then they can make
Speaker 1: it work. But it's otherwise it's not working. I found
Speaker 1: out the hard way. Those toilets are fake. The walls
Speaker 1: are so incredibly thin, Like I don't think people realize that, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, they don't have fault they're not built to code.
Speaker 1: They're built So it's like the so all the like
Speaker 1: break is fake, all the style is fake. It's all
Speaker 1: just it's all fake and it's very thin, and if
Speaker 1: you could see the behind what you know, you're you're
Speaker 1: looking at very flimsy structures. Yeah. So is it common
Speaker 1: for sitcoms to shoot out of order like we did
Speaker 1: with the pilot in the first season? Um No, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think to shoot in order of
Speaker 1: their season. Yeah, And I think we probably stuck with
Speaker 1: an order after the first season. I think it was
Speaker 1: during the and they were still trying to figure out
Speaker 1: which episodes to air, you know, for that's the thing.
Speaker 1: We probably shot in order, but they aired them in
Speaker 1: a different order, right, But I would say after that,
Speaker 1: after second season, they probably were in the order that
Speaker 1: we shot, I would have Yeah. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if we're going to know the answer to this question.
Speaker 1: Were some sets redesigned to look like different places? For example,
Speaker 1: the outdoor store looks similar to the ski cabin where
Speaker 1: Corey kissed Lauren, and the house party where Corey is
Speaker 1: drunk and dancing looks like the Matthews living room. Yes,
Speaker 1: the answer to that is yes. And I can give
Speaker 1: you definitive proof, and that is Jonathan Turner's apartment turned
Speaker 1: into Jack and Eric's apartment. So it was actually exactly
Speaker 1: the same set redesigned that used to do it all
Speaker 1: the time because you're you know, you're on a budget,
Speaker 1: so you build a set, you throw it in a
Speaker 1: in a shed somewhere, and then you take it out
Speaker 1: and you repurpose it for something else. So yes, I
Speaker 1: would not doubt at all that the Wilderness Store was
Speaker 1: something else. Yeah, that makes sense. I forgot about the
Speaker 1: apart the apartment switched all yeah. Yeah. What did the
Speaker 1: writer's room of Boy Meats World look like? Kind of
Speaker 1: just like an office room, like a pretty boring like
Speaker 1: one one big table, a folding table. This is a
Speaker 1: conference room, yeah, and then offices kind offices they had
Speaker 1: where people that writers would go off and write. And
Speaker 1: then the other than a few core people, the staff
Speaker 1: was changing every year. I mean there'll be four or
Speaker 1: five that were the same, and then they try new
Speaker 1: people that would come in or or they'd be interns
Speaker 1: or writers, and they always tic TACs, tons of food,
Speaker 1: tons of paper, airplanes, nerf guns. I mean it's like
Speaker 1: it's like a kid's room essentially. So yeah, So later
Speaker 1: in the show, when the show had more fans showing
Speaker 1: up to tapings, would they be given any context before
Speaker 1: the episode began feeling filming specifically thinking about during the
Speaker 1: times after Coreyan too paying a breakup. Would the studio
Speaker 1: audience have to piece together based on context that the
Speaker 1: relationship had ended. I remember them at certain times showing
Speaker 1: the episode before to the audience, Right, yeah, okay, that's
Speaker 1: what I thought, Yeah, okay. Would they would always give context?
Speaker 1: Our warm up guy would give a little bit of context.
Speaker 1: So since you've seen the last since the last time
Speaker 1: you may have watched boy meets well, here's what happened,
Speaker 1: and they would lead through so then this happened with
Speaker 1: this episode, and this happened with this episode, and now
Speaker 1: we're going to play for you last week's episode. So
Speaker 1: they would always get to watch the episode that preceded
Speaker 1: this one that they were about to watch films, so
Speaker 1: they had an idea of context. And they also, you know,
Speaker 1: it gave them thirty minutes of something to do in
Speaker 1: the audience, Um, while they were waiting for us to
Speaker 1: come out and start the show. Can we talk very
Speaker 1: briefly about how amazing our audiences were because you have
Speaker 1: to sit there sometimes for hours, watch the same thing
Speaker 1: over and over again, and they were engaged and loving
Speaker 1: and so amazing. Week after week we had the best audiences,
Speaker 1: So I really a big shout out because, especially when
Speaker 1: you're doing a sitcom, Um, the audience is another character,
Speaker 1: absolutely another character, and it was a character that showed
Speaker 1: up for us every single week. You kept us on
Speaker 1: our toes, you kept us active, you kept us happy.
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. So everybody who came and supported us live,
Speaker 1: you were amazing and you really made it a better
Speaker 1: show every single week. So thank you for that. Absolutely. Well,
Speaker 1: this concludes our last Q and A episode. We have
Speaker 1: been asked already many times if we have anything that
Speaker 1: we can share from our first ever live pod meets
Speaker 1: World show, and uh, we do. We have some clips
Speaker 1: for you. We can't play the whole thing because part
Speaker 1: of what makes the live show special is that what
Speaker 1: happens in the room kind of sometimes sort of stays
Speaker 1: in the room. So there are some things that we
Speaker 1: just won't be sharing with you, but we do have
Speaker 1: some clips that we want you to take a listen to.
Speaker 1: So here are a few of those clips. Um. I
Speaker 1: did a question for Rider in Trina Um I think
Speaker 1: I love the show so much obviously, but one of
Speaker 1: the things that made me the most uncomfortable watching the
Speaker 1: show is especially as a kid, was that Angela and
Speaker 1: Sean would awkwardly just seeming like they made out so much,
Speaker 1: like just like in the background. I remember there was
Speaker 1: one episode where it was almost like an ongoing joke.
Speaker 1: They were like on the in the student union's called
Speaker 1: a student union by the way. I know that was
Speaker 1: a podcast joke, and you're just like on the couch
Speaker 1: and I think maybe you're one time um making out
Speaker 1: on top of Eric. And I'm just wondering, one how
Speaker 1: like how did you prepare for those scenes and then chapstick? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And secondly, is it like is it was it weird
Speaker 1: for you? Now? I know that you talked about in
Speaker 1: the podcasts they're being an age difference, so I'm not
Speaker 1: pointing out something that no one knows, But is it weird? Now?
Speaker 1: Was it weird? Then? I just wanted to It was
Speaker 1: not weird at all. It was like I remember thinking
Speaker 1: it was totally like now it seems weird to me,
Speaker 1: Like now I watched the show and I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, yeah, because we are We're kissing all the time,
Speaker 1: and like the whole scenes where we're like kiss talk,
Speaker 1: kiss talk, and I'm like, well, this is like a
Speaker 1: huge part of the show and yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But at the time it never girt. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It felt totally fine, like we were very each other. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were cool. I mean it was something about us
Speaker 1: are it is always very comfortable with each other. So
Speaker 1: I never feel I always feel actually more comfortable in
Speaker 1: general when you're around. So so no, it's true, So
Speaker 1: you know, No, it wasn't. I would say your lips
Speaker 1: were a little dry sometimes that I remember, but overall
Speaker 1: he was very enjoyable. You know, comes out you heard
Speaker 1: it here first man, alright, chapstick on vest I think
Speaker 1: it's a little past the time writer. Hi, Hello, Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm Nicole. You guys are amazing and wonderful. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. I brought my mom she watches it with me,
Speaker 1: so thanks. Um. So my question is, I know you
Speaker 1: all did that kind of crossover with Sabrina, with the
Speaker 1: whole time ball situation. So if you could have put
Speaker 1: your characters into a completely different TV show, what TV
Speaker 1: show would you want them to go into and why
Speaker 1: A question answer? Let's all say it together. Mash there's
Speaker 1: his Okay. I I wrote this thing once, and I
Speaker 1: think Sean would have been great on like a drama,
Speaker 1: like like a cop like a greedy cop show drama
Speaker 1: or something Austin's Creek were. But it basically was on that,
Speaker 1: you know, like that's what Boy became essentially. No, like
Speaker 1: I would like to see Sean like a really gritty,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, doing this the whole tag
Speaker 1: exactly catching all your hood came. Yeah. Well, I would
Speaker 1: think it would be really funny if the cast of
Speaker 1: Boy Meets World tried an episode of good Times. I
Speaker 1: think that'd be really funny. Man. I think to Panga
Speaker 1: would have like I would have loved to have seen
Speaker 1: Topanga in her lawyer dom, like on the practice or
Speaker 1: like something like that. Because even when we did Girl
Speaker 1: Meets World and it was like to pangas a lawyer
Speaker 1: and it basically met you saw her with a briefcase
Speaker 1: every now and then. Um, so I wouldn't like, I'd
Speaker 1: like to see Topanga talking lawyer. Did you ever get
Speaker 1: to do any lawyerly things? No, I got to I
Speaker 1: think I got to show up at the school at
Speaker 1: the classroom once, and like that's when Lee came back
Speaker 1: and I was doing something but it wasn't cool, lawyally,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think like the practice to Penguin, the
Speaker 1: practice would have been fun. Yeah, judging Amy, And that
