00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: down at that my phone occasionally and it'll say like

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: that you have sixty two updates, and it'll just I'll

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,920

Speaker 5: everyone in everybody's dad.

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: You don't have a superior phone. You have a normal,

00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: janky phone, got it? Okay?

Speaker 5: whole updates area, and I swear you just type like automatically,

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 5: and then then it'll do it at night while you're

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 5: correct like, well, no, that's what I'm hoping it does

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 5: that and it sings to me and it tucks me

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 5: in and it keeps me safe.

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: That's what I'm hoping my phone does as well. For

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: the money I'm paying, that's what it better do. With

24
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: how expensive these things are nowadays, it better curl me

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: and hold me at night.

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 6: I mean, come on, I've been.

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 5: Trying so hard to institute like a putting the phone

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 5: down when I walk in the house rule, and I've

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 5: like discussed since the moment India was born. And now

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 5: he's old enough to actually call me out on it.

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 5: He'll be like, dat, why are you looking at your phone?

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 4: Oh it's the worst. It's the worst feeling to be

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 4: called out.

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 7: Well.

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of tech, have you guys seen the new

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: Apple VR headset vision pro. I think it's called No

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: my gosh, you guys. So Jensen is on the side

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: of it.

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: Doesn't look dumb. It looks cool.

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: Okay, it is exactly what you would think of a

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: VR looking, you know, headset thing you wear across your eyes.

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: And then it's like but so when you put it

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: on it apparently you be it becomes a three d

44
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: oh eastern look at that.

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: Okay, So there it.

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Is, right, But then the view for you inside is

47
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: that it's your environment. So it's your house, like your

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: correct augmented reality, and then all of your apps in

49
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: front of you, so now it's you know, any one

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: of those movies we've seen where the apps and that's

51
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: exactly what you can do now, you can just flick

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: your wrist. But in the advertisement for it, every single person.

53
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: Is alone in their house.

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: See Jensen's wearing my Mantai masks that.

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 6: I see you with.

56
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 4: Looks awesome, dude, it's so cool.

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 6: That works.

58
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: So cool.

59
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 2: Does anybody else remember when your parents used to tell

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: you don't get that close to the screen because it's

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: bad for your eyes. Now we're wearing the screen on

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: our feet, we wear the.

63
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: Screen on your face.

64
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: And then the people who they show that aren't alone,

65
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you can see them and they can

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: see you. So you can see out of it, like

67
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: if you were sitting in a room.

68
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: Almost like you were really next to each other. It

69
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: like it's almost like you were seeing each other in

70
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 5: real life.

71
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,279
Speaker 3: Oh my exactly.

72
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: So then the other thing is the fact that you

73
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: can see your own place. I'm like, don't most people

74
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: not want to be in their own house?

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: Like, wouldn't you kind of.

76
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 6: Be like one thousand dollars to be in my living?

77
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: I put I paid thirty five hundred.

78
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Dollars for this VR headset and like it to still

79
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: look at my crappy apartment happen.

80
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: Man, we've been primed.

81
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 5: I mean, think about the way the pandemic accelerated our

82
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 5: comfort with video conference. Yeah, you know, like this would

83
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 5: have been unheard of for me to think that we

84
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 5: were actually going to have a conversation to talk to each.

85
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 6: Other, and now we do it every week, yes, yeah,

86
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 6: twice a week. And it's also become going.

87
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: It's just become normalized because what we're saying is we

88
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: haven't seen each other in a while and be like,

89
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: see you tomorrow, and it's still like I haven't seen

90
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: you guys in a while.

91
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 6: So it's yeah, it's weird. But the other thing room's

92
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 6: gotten smaller.

93
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: Is that we when we first started this podcast, we

94
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: were all in one hundred percent agreement that it needed

95
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: to be in person, that our.

96
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: Energy, that are what you know.

97
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, there is some stuff that's really

98
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: great about being that you can't duplicate on zoom, but

99
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: about eighty five percent of it ninety percent we can,

100
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: and it just became so much easier, so much easier.

101
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't know, it's just there's this amazing

102
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 5: passage that David Foster Wallace wrote, I forget what book it.

103
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 5: I think it might have it might have been its

104
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 5: own essay or no, I think it was in Infinite Jess.

105
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: It's like you can look it up.

106
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 5: It's amazing, he wrote, you know, because it's it takes

107
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 5: place in the future, and it's just an analysis of

108
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 5: why video conferencing didn't take off, like didn't become a thing.

109
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 5: And he's you know, he's writing this in the nineties,

110
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 5: like way before the technology existed, but he predicts that

111
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 5: like what we why we will not adopt video conferencing,

112
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 5: And he's absolutely right. It's what happened when like FaceTime

113
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 5: came out. It was like people used it to like

114
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 5: look at their babies, right, and then that was about it,

115
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 5: like nobody else used But then, you know, what he

116
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 5: describes is like how you can tell when somebody's not

117
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 5: listening to you when you're looking at them, like when

118
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 5: they get a little bored, right, Whereas like on a

119
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 5: phone call, there was like the natural habit you just

120
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 5: you assume somebody was engaged with it even while they

121
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 5: were like making the dinner or whatever. And that was

122
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 5: like that sort of disembodied voice. Actually made for a

123
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 5: cool social engagement that like zoom requires like the the

124
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 5: constant listening face or the nod air and it requires

125
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 5: a lot more energy. Right, But I think you know

126
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 5: he was correct and that it wasn't going to be adopted,

127
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 5: But then the pandemic just made it happen like it

128
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 5: was the only option.

129
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 4: It was our social life for so.

130
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 6: Long, and it very quickly.

131
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: Do my danielle ficial impression of when I can tell

132
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: she's not listening and she and she's writing somebody else.

133
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: Watch and you see the hands got like you can

134
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: see you tell she's typing and.

135
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: I'm still looking at you. He's looking at you.

136
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 6: But when is it going and she's totally talking to

137
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 6: somebody else?

138
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: It's the funny.

139
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, yeah, Daniel's in a whole nother conversation

140
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 6: right now.

141
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 5: I don't think I can do that. I can't type,

142
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 5: and like, do you want to be that's.

143
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Because you have a terrible iPhone And on my Android,

144
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: I have a swipe text feature where all I have

145
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: to do is.

146
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 5: Drag me jumping into people's text conversations and ruining them.

147
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,520

00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 5: I'm sure there's answers for all the.

161
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: What's a Google?

162
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: Put your VR headset on and ask you what Hey.

163
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: I'm on a zoom with you.

164
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 6: It's like I'm really in this room.

165
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: Still Welcome to Pod meets World.

166
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 6: I'm Daniel Fischel, I'm right or Strong, and I'm Wilfordell.

167
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: As we enter season three of Boy Meets World, it's

168
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: difficult to brace for what's to come when you don't

169
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: really remember much. But we did know one thing this

170
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: season around. We were about to meet the coolest new

171
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: character Boy Meets World has seen so far, and he

172
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: was going to be played by an actor who was

173
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: just as cool. Imagine being fourteen years old as I was,

174
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: and they introduce you to the newest teacher on the show,

175
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: who was also the lead singer of a popular SKA

176
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: reggae band, dresses like he just left a VIP table at.

177
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: The Dresden Lounge.

178
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: And was working on some little indie comedy with his

179
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 1: friends about trying to find work in Hollywood called Swingers.

180
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: To say we were all in awe of the guy

181
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: would be an understatement, and the fans loved the newest

182
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: edition to John Adams High just as much as we did,

183
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: even though it never really felt like the writers knew

184
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: exactly what to do with him, but other writers sure did.

185
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: He'd go on to appear in almost one hundred and.

186
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Thirty episodes of Becker, and show up on Grey's Anatomy,

187
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: Reno nine to one, one, Scandal, Better Call Saul, and

188
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: most recently, the TV reboot of A League of Their Own,

189
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: Not to mention the movie High Fidelity and that little

190
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: indie movie I mentioned Swingers that ended up defining an

191
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: entire generation. But none of that means anything today because

192
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: we're going to focus on the sixteen.

193
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 3: Episodes of Boy Meets World.

194
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520

Speaker 3: I wish I could give you a hug.

205
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: I feel it feels so weird to just not be

00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: able to give you a giant hug.

207
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,120

Speaker 7: Maybe maybe I should turn the heat on. I don't know.

210
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: Yes, man, we have been so looking forward to talking

211
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: to you.

212
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: We have been.

213
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: We've had so many great guests on the show, but

214
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: we really from the time we started, we were like,

215
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: oh man, I just can't wait to get to season

216
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: three and talk to Alex.

217
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 8: Wow.

218
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 7: So that's how you're doing it. You're doing it season

219
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 7: by season.

220
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, by episode, episode by episode.

221
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 5: We're only we've only watched at this point We've only

222
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 5: watched three episodes of season three three, so we've only

223
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 5: seen you in two, and that first one super awkward.

224
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: It is so not you, not you. It's just like

225
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: they didn't introduce you. You're just like there.

226
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 7: Well, the thing is I was also super awkward.

227
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: So so Alex did watch the two same episodes we've seen.

228
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, okay, good because that first one was like

229
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 5: we were watching this. The next one it was like, oh, okay,

230
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 5: now they're introducing this character, like why.

231
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: Which should have been the first one.

232
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, But like when you're just it is apartment, you're like, Okay,

233
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: now we know you apparently yes.

234
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 7: And now there's someone new.

235
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

236
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: And I think they wanted to say, obviously, we're trying

237
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: two friends up boy meets World, where they wanted to

238
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: have that, you know, late twenties cool friendship storyline going.

239
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: But it would have been.

240
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: Nice to know who this guy was instead of just

241
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: being like so it was a little odd that they

242
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: that they did it that way.

243
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 3: Do you remember your audition for Boy Meets World.

244
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 7: Here's the thing I will say though, Boy Meets World

245
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 7: was the innovator for the idea of a teaser because

246
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 7: that's what that was.

247
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 9: It's like you're doing up here, just gone right, yeah,

248
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 9: the mass Man, Yeah, it was.

249
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: It was like, well, at least in the second episode

250
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: they're going to have him at.

251
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 6: All, Okay, an interesting choice. Yeah, it was so weird.

252
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 7: It was.

253
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 6: It was so bizarre.

254
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 7: But do I remember the audition, yes, Okay, No, I

255
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 7: don't remember which audition I remember, right. I remember were

256
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 7: getting the call going yeah, all right, yeah, all right, yeah,

257
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 7: I'll go in on this show, you know, jaded actor

258
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 7: at twenty four. However, I was like, yeah, yeah, I'll

259
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 7: go in, I'll go in. And I think I remember

260
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 7: being shocked getting a call back or something, and then

261
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 7: meeting Michael Jacobs and all the writers and it was

262
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 7: hilariously if I remember correctly, and yeah, I told you guys,

263
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 7: my memory sucks in general. But if I remember correctly,

264
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 7: what I love about the writers on that sure that

265
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 7: they all had watched me work, which was kind of

266
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 7: like this this you know, it was a combination of

267
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 7: rooting for you as well as being in awe of

268
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 7: what you're doing. Yeah, so I remember that, And I

269
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 7: also remember Michael Jacobs and he did this at the

270
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 7: audition as well as many times when we were shooting

271
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 7: where he'd do that thing where he'd pulled me over.

272
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 7: He was like, yeah, that was good, but you just

273
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 7: read this same joke three times in a row, so

274
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 7: there there are variations. And I was like what And

275
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 7: then I remember him pointing out the variations and I

276
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 7: was like, well, I'll be damn okay, let's try it again.

277
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 7: And I think he did that for one of the auditions,

278
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 7: which was really cool too.

279
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: At least he did that for you. For us, he

280
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: would give us sounds. He'd go, you're going blah blah

281
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: bah oh okay, sorry to.

282
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: You, like you understood English, which.

283
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: You wanted them bah blah blah blah blah music note exactly.

284
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 7: You know, that's kind of how I work. It's about rhythm, right.

285
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: But you know what else you talk about that look

286
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: that they had, because I'd never really thought about that before.

287
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: But you know what else it was that we've now

288
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: discovered with doing the podcast is how much they paid

289
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: attention to who all the actors were as people to

290
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: try to extract, to try to write specific for them.

291
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: So part of that eagerness you saw behind their eyes

292
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: was what what are his strengths what are his strengths,

293
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: what are his strengths?

294
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: Come up with this character and how do we get.

295
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 5: A character more like do they have did you have

296
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 5: any like actual character before?

297
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 4: Like what was there a sense that before.

298
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 7: You If I remember what it was, it was just like,

299
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 7: you know, it was like cocky, No, that's exactly what

300
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 7: I remember. I remember my notes to myself was like, oh,

301
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 7: this guy thinks his poop does not stink, right, right, Okay,

302
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 7: That's what I remember, And so that was definitely acting.

303
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 5: That's what comes across in the second episode with PHOENI, Right.

304
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 7: That's what it was. It's like this insecurity being covered

305
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 7: by this sense of ego and arrogance and you know,

306
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 7: he's a puppy dog, you know. Yeah, if I remember,

307
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 7: that's what I remembered going into it, thinking.

308
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: That would have been nice if they showed that at

309
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: all in the first episode, even slightly. But the thing

310
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: that was cool at least was so the thing I

311
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: remember most about your first the first episode is that

312
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: we had a really what we call a wu audience.

313
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: So it was like every time you'd say something, people

314
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: would go wooo.

315
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 6: So yeah, it was by your first line. It was

Speaker 7: You want to hear the funny thing? Boy Meets World

327
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 7: was the first sitcom I think I was not fired

328
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 7: from really, although I only did one season, so I

329
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 7: had a minute going, hey, wait a minute, yeah, but yeah,

330
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 7: because I'd had like issues, like i'd go do a

331
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 7: day or two and they'd be like, yeah, don't, don't,

436
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,800

00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 2: never gonna happen.

438
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 4: Never, never.

439
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 7: Happened. Maybe in the back of my head, I was

440
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 7: like I don't want to be a bad influence. They

441
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 7: don't want to see my daughter.

442
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 3: We heard that a lot.

443
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you were like you were twenty five.

444
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 7: You said twenty five, twenty six.

445
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, my god, that's not that much older than us.

446
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: But no, you know the difference between fifteen and twenty.

447
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I was fourteen at the time, and.

448
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 6: I was probably eighteen or nineteen at the time.

449
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 11: Fifteen fifteen, Yeah, okay, Yeah, it's kind of crazy because,

450
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 11: like thinking about it, it's like you guys have been

451
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 11: professionals forever and like, you know, I moved out to

452
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 11: at eighteen, and I was.

453
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 10: Like you guys, And now that I think about it,

454
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 10: it's basically we're all like learning everything at the same time.

455
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, r came first for you when you came

456
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: out to LA. Was it a music draw or was

457
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: it acting?

458
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 7: No, No, acting has been my first, Like, you know,

459
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 7: since I was a little kid. You know, acting was

460
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 7: the draw. Like I went to performing arts in New York,

461
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 7: you know, the Fame School. Yep. It's funny because you know,

462
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 7: I wanted to audition for stuff and my mom was

463
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 7: like no, no, no, I'm like okay, sure, sure. Years later,

464
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 7: I come to find out. I was like, why wouldn't

465
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 7: you let me go to auditions? She was like, it's

466
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 7: not that I didn't want you to. I just couldn't

467
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 7: take off work. I'm like, oh, wow, well that makes sense.

468
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 7: And so yeah, I went to performing arts. I booked

469
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 7: a job. My senior year, I booked The Pilot. Almost

470
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,119

Speaker 4: You're unlocking like a core memory it is.

536
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 6: Oh that's so funny.

537
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 7: And it rolled so trippingly off the tunnel.

538
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 3: Had you had you ever worked with kids before?

539
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,840

540
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 7: you know, here's a funny thing. Now that I think

541
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 7: about it, I remember the whole time going I don't

542
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 7: know if anybody's gonna buy me as a.

543
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 4: School because you've grown up.

544
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm like, I don't buy it. And then I

545
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 7: was thinking about it. How old was what was Bill

546
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 7: Daniels when we were doing it? Because I and eight,

547
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 7: you know, he was probably like my age he.

548
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 6: Was he was sixty five.

549
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: He's ninety six now, thirty years ago, sixty six six

550
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: to sixty eight when you were there, he was sixty

551
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: eight years old.

552
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, yeah, right.

553
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 7: Wow, man, Yeah, what an experience. It's wow. Okay, things

554
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 7: are starting on the lot. Guys.

555
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 2: You when you do your when you put your your

556
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: age you are now to when we were doing Boy,

557
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: and you look at all the writers, all the producers.

558
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: I think I'm older now than ninety percent of the

559
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: people that.

560
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 6: Worked on one.

561
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 2: That's insane and it's just weird when you do that.

562
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: When you're like Michael, I think was what in his

563
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: late thirties early forties when Boy and he must have

564
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 2: been right, I think it's got to be what sixty

565
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: five now sixty six.

566
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: I think he's probably close to seventy.

567
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 6: Okay, close to so, say he's seventy so he was

568
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 6: forty eight.

569
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're forty seven now, right, right, So, I mean

570
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: it's just so weird to think that we were all

571
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: the people, all the adults in charge, were younger than

572
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: most of us are now.

573
00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 7: Really weird.

574
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm how aware of Bill Daniels were you? Like,

575
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 4: did you know his career? Did you know him on?

576
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 7: Man?

577
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 5: Well, I had no clue because I was a kid, man,

578
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 5: I mean, besides the kid from Night Rider. I had

579
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 5: no idea.

580
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 7: You can just start.

581
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: There, man, exactly, Yes.

582
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 7: You start there and either go backwards or forwards.

583
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was awesome sometimes.

584
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 7: I'm just like to say it for me, Michael.

585
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: Michael, were you as intimidated by Bill Daniels as we

586
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: all were?

587
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 7: Oh? Absolutely, absolutely absolutely. And then it started obviously getting easier,

588
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 7: like because I just asked him questions, so when did

589
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 7: you start the business? Yeah, how did you do this?

590
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 7: And then like him telling me that he was a

591
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 7: dancer and like with bo Jingles and stuff that blew

592
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 7: my mind. And then I was like, right, so tell

593
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 7: me about seventeen seventy six, right, you know, John Adams,

594
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 7: I get it.

595
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 6: That was always a good way in with Bill.

596
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: He would always talk about the industry, talk about acting,

597
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: talk about the craft. So anytime you were kind of like,

598
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what to talk about, jumping into that

599
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: was a great starting off point with him.

600
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then like every once in a while because

601
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 7: I like my one of the things I do, like

602
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 7: you know, in between takes or whatever, like just I

603
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 7: do fake tap dance and stuff just for myself. I

604
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 7: don't know how to tap, but I do that. And

605
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 7: then he'd joined in on it.

606
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 5: A video of the.

607
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 7: D's start talking and he telled me about Bojangles and

608
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 7: stuff like what you were doing. You were you were

609
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 7: song and dance man first.

610
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, when he five five or six, I mean he was.

611
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 6: And he never told us. He would never jump in

612
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 6: and tell us about that.

613
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was cut yeah, and even and that wasn't

614
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: until later. Especially, he didn't want us to know. I've

615
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: talked to him about this. He did not want us

616
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: to know he was a child actor.

617
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 6: Oh wow, he said, I don't.

618
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: I didn't want you to look at me like a

619
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: resource for how to be a child act or. I

620
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: wanted you to look at me as just another actor

621
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: and part of the cast, as opposed to oh, you

622
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: did what I did.

623
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 6: He didn't for some reason, just didn't want that.

624
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 7: That's actually pretty smart, actually, yeah, journey.

625
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also a great way to keep all the

626
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: little smelly kids away from you.

627
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: Self protection. Just did not want question.

628
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 7: Me.

629
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,720

Speaker 2: I got my first several tattoos was at the same place,

692
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: and I believe I left and I was like, all right,

693
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm just going to get another tat, and the same

694
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: guy gave me another tat.

695
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 6: I believe that I wasn't with you for that, so

696
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 6: I was OK that I think that was yes, So

697
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 6: I believe I did.

698
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 4: I believe I did too.

699
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: But I also have a memory of going to a

700
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: Hepcat show that was like years later, because, like I said,

701
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: when you were on the show, I was only fourteen,

702
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: So like, where was I going to a my parents

703
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: were club.

704
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 4: You were in fifteen.

705
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: I was at least eighteen years old before I attended

706
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: a nightclub, so I think I went.

707
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: At least I waited until I moved out of my parents' house.

708
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: At eighteen, and then I went. I had some respect,

709
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I did. I know, I went to a

710
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: show like around that time, which is cool to think

711
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: about because like that means that even years after you

712
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: were off the show, I was.

713
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: We were still like, I'm going to go see Alex Man.

714
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 7: I didn't tell you. I haven't told you guys, So

715
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 7: this was actually cool. So I knew the show was,

716
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 7: you know, good, and it was big and all that stuff.

717
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 7: It didn't hit me until like maybe a year after

718
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 7: leaving the show. We were on tour, and we're doing

719
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 7: the Work tour, so we're going all across America, every

720
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 7: crop cross section of life, you know, because work towards

721
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 7: like SKA bands, punk bands, like you know, everything, hip

722
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 7: hop and all that, and we do our set and inevitably,

723
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 7: like every night, every day we finished the set, oh

724
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 7: my god, hey man, Heapcat was really cool, but mister

725
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 7: Williams and it was like every night. And then I

726
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 7: remember one of the funniest ones. Was like, no, you

727
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 7: don't understand what boy meets world meets us. It was

728
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 7: this guy and his girlfriend. You don't understand what the

729
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 7: show means to us. It's like, you know, it's like

730
00:34:55,160 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 7: our days of our lives. It's our General Hospital and

731
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 7: I will never forget that. Yeah. As he was saying that,

732
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 7: I was backing away slowly, going.

733
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 3: That's really nice.

734
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 7: That's cool. But it was. And that's when it dawned

735
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 7: on me, because you know, in my head, I'm like, God,

736
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 7: we're just working, We're just what we do.

00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 7: No.

739
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 5: We've talked a lot about how none of us really

740
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 5: knew the reach of the show until years later.

741
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 4: You know.

742
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,799

Speaker 4: Yeah.

758
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: I was telling them story before we got on. That

759
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 2: was very special to me. So it was years, several

760
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 2: years after Boy Me Twelve finished, I was doing another

761
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 2: show that wasn't very good. But actually I take that back.

762
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: The show was okay, the cast was great, they were

763
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 2: good friends of mine. But I was having a bad day.

764
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 2: I remember specifically, I was having a very bad day

765
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 2: and I'm sitting there and I look up and standing

766
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: in between two of the cameras on rehearsal day, is

767
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 2: you with your.

768
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 6: Arms wide open?

769
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:27,959
Speaker 7: Yeah?

770
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: Because you were doing Becker right next door, and I

771
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: was doing a show called Random Years, and you saw

772
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 2: me on the internal like monitors of rehearsal, and you

773
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: came over and it was like my whole day brightened up,

774
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 2: just all of a sudden.

775
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 6: It was like, oh my god.

776
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 2: And you came over and embraced me, and we sat

777
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 2: there and hugged and talked for like twenty minutes, and

778
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 2: my whole day turned around. And I don't think I

779
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 2: ever told you how special and important that was to me.

780
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,400

00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: they're not going to know they're not going to remember me,

793
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: like they're not yet. Oh yeah, like I'm just a

794
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: They're not even know who I am. So I'm not

795
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: even going to say anything. You like, talk yourself out

796
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: of whether or not you should go up and say

797
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,680

802
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: so many years ago, I'm not going to go say

803
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: hi to Will, but you did, and he was having

804

00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,239

843
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: weren't coming back for season four?

844
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 3: Or were you not told?

845
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 7: Like?

846
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 3: How did that? Do you remember how that situation came about?

847
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,959
Speaker 3: I really don't, Okay.

848
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 7: I really don't. Maybe maybe it's PTSD exactly know what

849
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 7: it happened. Again, I don't if I recall, I don't

850
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 7: think I found out right away. I think it was

851
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 7: like it wasn't because I found out with other gigs

852
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 7: about not coming back in a very shady way. I

853
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 7: don't think I think this was up front, Okay, okay,

854
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 7: I think it was above board. I think it was.

855
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure it was disappointing. I think for me

856
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 7: when it happened, I remember going, oh, that sucks, but hey, okay,

857
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 7: that freeze up some time, right, And like, I think

858
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 7: after that is when I started, you know, touring a

859
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 7: lot more with the band, because I had to miss

860
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 7: a lot of shows. Yea, even when when I was

861
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 7: doing Becker, like, I had to leave the band completely

862
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 7: for a couple of years. And so I think, once again,

863
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 7: it's that hindsight thing where you're like, Okay, this sucks,

864
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 7: but now I can do this for a while and

865
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 7: not more. Unfortunately, you know, I've got money in the bank.

866
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, praise you up to tour with music.

867
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. And you know, for a while, that's where

868
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 7: I looked at it too. I was like, Okay, I

869
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 7: make a living acting, so I can go do music,

870
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 7: and if I don't get paid as much, it's fine

871
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 7: because I still get this right, go out and do that.

872
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 2: You're That's the same thing they said about like River Phoenix,

873
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: as he was a musician with a great day job. Yeah,

874
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 2: and that's kind of like if music is your passion,

875
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: that's what it is. It's like I'm making just enough

876
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: acting to keep me in music.

877
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 6: Which is which is pretty important.

878
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: So I have a question for to to kind of

879
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 2: help educate our dear listeners. Okay, what so Becker huge show,

880
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty episodes you did, it was, you know,

881
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 2: with Ted Danson and some of the best in the business.

882
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: What other than salty language, what are some differences you

883
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: noticed from being on a show with all adults and

884
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: being on a show with a younger cast.

885
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 7: Well, we stayed a lot later.

886
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 4: And a half hours a day.

887
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, what is the difference? First off, for me personally,

888
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 7: it was it was that thing of like we said,

889
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 7: didn't have to watch the bad language, didn't have to

890
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 7: watch my steps as much, right, which is a difference.

891
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 7: The humor. We could do some darker things, and I

892
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 7: think that that was the other thing too, I was

893
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 7: being able to do that kind of stuff that we

894
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 7: could Envoy meets World. I mean, I will tell you

895
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 7: the same learning experience I got from both shows, which

896
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 7: started on Voy Meets World but then really took shape

897
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 7: for me personally on Becker was learning how to treat

898
00:42:54,600 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 7: guest cast no, because you know, it's easy to be

899
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 7: like is my shield. I don't know if I can

900
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 7: curse on here, but I don't know.

901
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely go off.

902
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 7: And I'm boy me. Tworlds was one of the places

903
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 7: where I think it clicks for me. It's like, oh no, yeah,

904
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 7: we're the core group here, but these people around us

905
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 7: helped build this world. Because they're building this world with us,

906
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 7: I have to treat them as if well, I have

907
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 7: to treat them with respect because they are with us.

908
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 7: Once I got on Becker, I really learned how to

909
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 7: do that hardcore to the point like every cast, get

910
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 7: every guest cast, I don't care how big or small.

911
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 7: Thank you so much for coming out and playing with us,

912
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 7: you know. And I learned that from Ted especially as well.

913
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 7: It's just like, you know, we look good because you

914
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 7: make us a little bit right, you know. So that

915
00:43:53,440 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 7: was a big thing both shows. Yeah, I think that's it.

916
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 7: I mean, because it's funny because writers. I love writers

917
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 7: because no matter what show, no matter what genre, with writers,

918
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 7: I can see what they look like when they were kids.

919
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 7: Writers have this thing, you know, on any TV show

920
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 7: you work on, you hang with them, and then all

921
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 7: of a sudden you'll see them on the playground. I'm like, oh,

922
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 7: I remember you. I remember your archetype. You know.

923
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 4: All that's true, isn't it.

924
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, you can see it, you know, And you're like, okay,

925
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 7: And for some reason that makes me like, hey, guys,

926
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 7: what are we doing? What are we playing with today? Right?

927
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 7: You know?

928
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: You know, you know what I love like from our perspective.

929
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: And I guess I'll just speak for myself, but I

930
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: think I can speak for the other two as well

931
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: when I say that one of the things we so

932
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: appreciated and got so lucky with on Boy Meets World

933
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: is that none of.

934
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 3: You treated us like little kids.

935
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 7: Yeah.

936
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: You when I just asked you, like when weill asked you,

937
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: what's the difference between working with kids, It had nothing

938
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: to do with like like you, we were your peers

939
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: as we were, we were fellow actors. We never felt

940
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: like you guys talked down to us, or thought lesser

941
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,800

00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,080

1077
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 7: Uh? Huh to you? You know, it's funny. Streaming is

1078
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 7: hilarious because before streaming, like you know, you know how

1079
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 7: that somebody looks at you and you start walking towards

1080
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 7: you and they're like, okay here. I used to be

1081
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 7: able to tell what they recognized me from. So I'd

1082
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 7: be like, oh, I do not know you? Yes, that's it.

1083
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 7: If not know you, yeah, beckerl Oh And then like

1084
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 7: I could, you could always tell the Boy Meets World folks,

1085
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 7: which is great. But then streaming happened, and so now

1086
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 7: I can't tell ye people know me from. I'm like,

1087
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 7: what the what the who?

1088
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:56,440

1089
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's funny. I didn't realize it's all Disney.

00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, it's very similar for all.

1133
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,480

1134
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 7: you know it was the right time, you know, it

1135
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 7: was you know, as we've all been living through this

1136
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 7: bizarre time, so it made complete sense. And it's been Yeah,

1137
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 7: it's just been a joy. It's you know, you know

1138
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 7: what it's like. You know how when you read a script,

1139
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,280
Speaker 7: you know how rare it is when you read something

1140
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 7: you actually laugh out loud while you're reading. Yeah, and

1141
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 7: so to read something and be like oh snap, I

1142
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 7: just kind of and then like we'll do the table

1143
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 7: reads and you know, it's still all zoom at this point,

1144
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 7: but I'm in awe.

1145
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's nuts all.

1146
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 7: Watching people do what they do, you know. Yeah, and

1147
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 7: to just have like a part of that, I'm completely grateful.

1148
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 7: And you know, even when we when we record with

1149
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 7: the directors and the writers are able to kind of

1150
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 7: the way Mike Jacobs was like, you see that joke there,

1151
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 7: you put these two together and turns into three different things.

1152
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 7: They're the exact same way where they just understand comedy

1153
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 7: and also understand the characters. So it's been a great,

1154
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 7: great experience.

1155
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,240
Speaker 6: You know, it's amazing.

1156
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 7: That was a really nice sound by the kind of ramble,

1157
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:47,720
Speaker 7: but it was a nice one.

1158
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 3: That I.

1159
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 2: Felt it we're talking about the Simpsons, I mean you're

1160
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 2: talking about arguably the most crisp comedy writing that's been

1161
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 2: on television for thirty five year impression.

1162
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's incredible.

1163
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 2: I mean it's and when you you know, I've always

1164
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 2: said I've been very lucky my voice over career, but

1165
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 2: I've never been one of those people that does twenty voices.

1166
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 2: So when you're sitting with those people and you're just going,

1167
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 2: how are you playing nineteen people in a row?

1168
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 6: It's you just it's like, how.

1169
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 7: Is this happening? Exactly? I'm like, you know my VEO stuff.

1170
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 7: I'm like, all right, I know my lanes. I can

1171
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 7: meet too. I can do that and that's me time.

1172
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 7: But then you watch you know, I always go back

1173
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 7: to mel Blank. I'm like, he did all those characters

1174
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 7: by himself.

1175
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, in a room.

1176
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 7: And you'll watch these cats do this when we're doing

1177
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 7: the Simpsons. I'm like, they're just playing against each other yep,

1178
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 7: by them.

1179
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 6: So it's it's nuts. It's absolutely no, I do that.

1180
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 6: One of the coolest things being crazy.

1181
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 7: They do that, and.

1182
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 6: It's called being a billionaire exactly.

1183
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I love that.

1184
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: Our final question for you is now, almost thirty years later,

1185
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: how do you look back on your time at Boy

1186
00:57:58,880 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: Meets World?

1187
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 7: A great learning experiences, a great growing experience. It you know,

1188
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 7: it was it was a weird time too for me personally,

1189
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 7: because I think internally I was still trying to figure

1190
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 7: myself out. So as much light as there was, there

1191
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 7: was also dark going on. But to be able to

1192
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 7: go through it, you know, and have a place to

1193
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 7: come to where I could just hang was awesome and

1194
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 7: you know, like I said, if it wasn't for that,

1195
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 7: there would be no this, you know. So it was

1196
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 7: great and I still quote Bill Daniel's one of my

1197
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 7: favorite lines of all. I still sing Tony Tyler Quinn.

1198
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 7: But one of the other things, there was one episode

1199
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 7: you did where I think I stole like some fruit

1200
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 7: or something like that, and Bill had the most wonderful

1201
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 7: line and delivery, which I say at random now, which

1202
00:58:53,920 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 7: is uh that mango man, and that'll just pop up

1203
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 7: out of nowhere, you know, how you got stuff like yes,

1204
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 7: real life, you know, and you know I'll be in

1205
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 7: the VEO booth trying to get something right, not mango man. Okay,

1206
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 7: I got it. I think it was all my real too.

1207
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 1: I love that, and I I know I said that

1208
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: was my last question for you, but you touched on

1209
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: it twice talking about the darkness, and because we love

1210
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: what we do on this podcast for having people on

1211
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: and they talk about the funny and they talk about

1212
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: the good, but they also talk about that and we

1213
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,439
Speaker 1: everyone can benefit and learn from it. Do you care

1214
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: to touch on it all, any of the personal darkness

1215
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: that was going on for you and.

1216
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 7: There's a lot of self doubt. You know. We're actors, actors,

1217
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 7: we're sensitive some some bitches, we're freelance. Yeah, you know.

1218
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 7: What always gets me And this is something you know,

1219
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 7: I'll be honest, I still struggle with and work on.

1220
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 7: Is I'm in a profession where I say, I have

1221
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 7: to say, Man, I'm the best, I'm the best. Like me, please.

1222
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, hire me please.

1223
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 7: Yeah. It's a it's a weird thing to reconcile and

1224
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 7: like you know, you know, especially you know when we

1225
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,439
Speaker 7: were doing the show. Well, I was five, six, seven

1226
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 7: years in the business. I'd already had you know, modicums

1227
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 7: of success, but scared of it.

1228
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1229
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd also, like you said, had some failures, been

1230
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: fired from some sitcoms.

1231
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, and so the stuff to work out,

1232
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 7: you know, yeah, like the party a little bit back

1233
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 7: then too, and so about balancing it out, you know.

1234
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 7: And I think that's just part of growing things. I

1235
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 7: think that's the human experience, as I say, you know, and.

1236
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 6: It is though it's it's weird.

1237
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 2: It's a bizarre business where you've got this combination of

1238
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 2: ego and imposter syntem where it's like I need to

1239
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: be on the set because I deserve it, I don't

1240
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 2: deserve it.

1241
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 6: And it's all in the same emodent. It's very strange.

1242
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I know we talked about when Boy Meets

1243
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: World was over for you and you you then took

1244
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: that time to go travel with music and stuff. But

1245
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: also it was then four years before you did High Fidelity, which, wow,

1246
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: come out, come out with another project with a bang

1247
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: with High Fidelity. But you know, over the course of

1248
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: four years, how much of that time was you saying

1249
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to do another project, I'm focusing on

1250
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: music versus how much of it was Do you think

1251
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,479
Speaker 1: was it hard to get work after Boy Meets World.

1252
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 7: I think I'm not sure what the what the percentages

1253
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 7: was both of them were there? Yeah, Because sometimes I'd

1254
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 7: be like, I'm not getting work. All right, let's get

1255
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 7: on the work, let's get on the road. I don't

1256
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 7: care forget this reason. And the funny thing is it's

1257
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 7: what did I was listening to Smartlus or something and

1258
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 7: they said it perfectly, that's Texian difference, right, And that's

1259
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 7: when the work happens. And so I'd go on tour

1260
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 7: and I'd come back, even with Becker if I remembered, Yeah,

1261
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 7: we got this great audition for it. Yeah, I can't

1262
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 7: make it. And I think I changed my audition like

1263
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 7: four or five times, you know, until I finally want you. Yeah,

1264
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 7: And that's what it is. It's like, it's the same thing.

1265
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 7: I book a ticket to Thailand. Oh, I got the

1266
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 7: movie that I always wanted.

1267
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 2: I was just going to say that, there's the old adage,

1268
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 2: if you want the audition, you want the part book

1269
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: a non refundable planet.

1270
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 7: I've been trying out a lot lately. It doesn't work

1271
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 7: as much.

1272
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 4: Now you're just stuck with all these vacations.

1273
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 5: I've been traveled the world for two years, just like.

1274
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 7: Man. But yeah, I mean, that's what it is. It's

1275
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 7: just finding that balance, man. And the great thing is

1276
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 7: I had a moment of going, do I still love

1277
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 7: being an actor or do I just need to get

1278
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 7: paid pay the bills? And then when I had that

1279
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 7: realization that I still love being an actor, I was like, Okay,

1280
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 7: that's it. We're good. That's awesome.

1281
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 6: Voiceover does that really well? Where you are.

1282
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 2: It's you and a microphone and it's pure acting, and

1283
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 2: you walk out of the booth.

1284
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 6: It's like the perfect golf shot.

1285
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 7: You go.

1286
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 6: I love this and it does. It just brings it

1287
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 6: right all back to you.

1288
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 4: It really does.

1289
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm so pure about it.

1290
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 7: I can go under the booth in a mood.

1291
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 6: And now it is perfect.

1292
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 4: It's just so good.

1293
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 6: I just played Superman like it's the greatest thing ever.

1294
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's awesome. So yeah.

1295
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Voiceover does that For any actor out there who's wondering, God,

1296
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 2: do I want to do this anymore? Just start playing

1297
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 2: with some voices. You'll see how happy you get, how quickly. Yeah,

1298

1316
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 2: Energy sometimes, you know, I just you forget that energy

1317
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 2: when you're not around it.

1318
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 6: And it's just so awesome.

1319
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was one of my favorite conversations we've had too.

1320
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 7: He really was.

1321
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1322
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 5: It's amazing when when somebody like that opens up about

1323
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 5: being insecure at all, because it comes across.

1324
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 3: As the most secure members I know.

1325
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I remember about him coming on to

1326
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 5: Boy Metro is like just just he belonged there, and

1327
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 5: he was always cool and always comfortable, and it's so

1328
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 5: weird to think that he was like a twenty five

1329
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 5: year old business a.

1330
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 6: Lot of way he was twenty five, and I couldn't

1331
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 6: believe that. That's amazing. I thought he was older than that.

1332
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 4: Of course they were a old that's the thing. Everybody

1333
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 4: was like twenty plus was old, you know.

1334
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 3: Right right, and adults who knew everything.

1335
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah of course. Yeah, so cool.

1336
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 5: I wish I could go back, and just like the

1337
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 5: dynamic between him and Tony must have been super interesting.

1338
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 5: They're both incredibly nice people, but completely different lifestyles totally right,

1339
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 5: Like Tony was already married, had a kid already. Yeah,

1340
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 5: but he was, you know, and he's very religious, he's

1341
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 5: very clean, cut, and I imagined that Alex at that

1342
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 5: time was not as clean cut.

1343
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 3: It was very different life.

1344
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's so, but I'm sure they got along

1345
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 5: because totally you know, but very different lifestyles.

1346
01:05:58,640 --> 01:05:59,240
