1
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: The budes. All that's okay, becaus no one here.

2
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: Is welcome to teen Beat. We are taking a week

3
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: off for the holiday, which gives you a moment to

4
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: catch up on some of the episodes you may have missed.

5
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: As you know, every week I sit down with interesting

6
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: people who've done interesting things, getting into how they've become

7
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: who they are today, awkward teenage years and all. Here's

8
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: a clip from our first guest ever and the man

9
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 2: behind the teen Beat theme song. It's Blink one eighty

10
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: two's Mark Hoppice. So what were those early Blink one

11
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: eighty two shows like? Were they always did they always

12
00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: feel like a success?

13
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: Yes, at least to us. I mean, when Tom and

14
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,639
Speaker 3: I are on stage, we really perform for one another,

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 3: almost more than we perform for the crowd. Like, if

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: I can make Tom laugh, that's a good thing. If

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: I can make Travis laugh, that's a big thing. And

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: so Tom and I we leave on tour and we

19
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: start joking around and we try and say some outrageous stuff.

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: But then the next night it gets a little further,

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 3: and the next night gets a little further, and the

22
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: next Like I remember, at one point we were on

23
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: tour and our manager pulled us aside because we were

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: on a tour called the Mark, Tom and Travis Show Tour,

25
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 3: and Tom had this idea that if you took a

26
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: vocal effect that pitches your voice down and octave, you

27
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 3: can grab a microphone and you can act like you're

28
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: Satan talking directly to the audience. And so I remember

29
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: we are on tour one time and after the show,

30
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: our managers like, hey, can I talk to you guys

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: for a second. And he calls us into his office

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: and he goes, I think you're taking a little far.

33
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: We're like, what are you talking about. He's like, well,

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: when Tom gets on the microphone, he acts like Satan

35
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: and he says, Hey, kids, I'm here to fuck your blood.

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: It's a little too far. Fun that is the line.

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: Were like, Okay, that makes sense, got it? Roger copy that. Nope,

38
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: your blood, got it?

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: And if you want to laugh, check out the hilarious

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 2: Nicole Byer. What is the most amount of trouble you

41
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: ever got into? Like in high school?

42
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Oh?

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: In high school? Was I still in high school? I

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 5: got arrested at Old Navy, which is crazy because they

45
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 5: like pay you to take the clothes, but I love shoplifting,

46
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 5: still love it.

47
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 2: Okay to have to, I'm assuming you have to force

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: yourself to not do it.

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: No, I still to do it.

50
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 5: If I go to Gelson's, I'm taking a treat. If

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 5: there's a self checkout, I'm not scanning all of it.

52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't work here. It's also Gelson's is so expensive.

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 5: Right, there was grapes I want and they were fifty

54
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 5: dollars Are you kidding? But they went on sale for

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 5: fourteen Still too expensive.

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 4: They're K grapes.

57
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 5: They're from Korea.

58
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: K Beauty has now crossed over into Ku. We have

60
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: Okay, But I think it was the summer in between

61
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 5: my junior and senior year. No, it was senior year

62
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 5: because my mom had passed away already. So I used

63
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 5: to play a game with my friends Nick and John

64
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 5: called Grandma, What's in your bag? Meaning we would get

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 5: back into Nick's car and they go, Grandma, what's in

66
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 5: your bag?

67
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: And I pull little stuff I stole.

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.

69
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 5: So I was in old Navy. I think I was

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 5: by myself, And yeah, I was by myself, and I

71
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 5: was just like doing a thing, taking things, and then

72
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 5: I got stopped and I was like, oh no, And

73
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 5: then I was being not cooperative and I got them

74
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 5: to say that they would release me to anyone over

75
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 5: the age of eighteen. So I called my friend Caitlin

76
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: and I was like, Ken, your older sister Courtney picked

77
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: me up and she was like, where on are we?

78
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 5: So then Core they're also white, so they were like

79
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 5: these aren't your parents?

80
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: I get there.

81
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: They're very young, like one is fifteen, the other is

82
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 5: twenty one, Like what? So yeah, she was able to

83
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 5: sign me out of nail jail.

84
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: And one byproduct of having your own interview podcast is

85
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: that it gives you an excuse to catch up with

86
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: old friends. Here's a snippet with the great Kat Bennings.

87
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: How did you then end up in a Hansoen music

88
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: video later on? And what what what must have that

89
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: been like for your little brain in your heart?

90
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 7: To this day it is probably my best, my biggest

91
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 7: accomplishment in my career.

92
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: And I'm not joking.

93
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: Right right, it's a that's a true statement for you.

94
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 7: This is called manifestation, folks.

95
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: Yep, you're right. You were doing the secret before anyone

96
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: had heard of the secret.

97
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 7: Incerting that shit since I was how old what is

98
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 7: this eleven?

99
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

100
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 7: Okay, I was pinterest staying before Pinterest, I was vision

101
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 7: boarding my life, my ceiling. Isaac's on my ceiling.

102
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 6: I love that, Okay, I love that.

103
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: So look, I.

104
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 7: Don't know how this happened, but once Twitter rip came along,

105
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 7: you could follow these people that you never could have

106
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 7: access to. I mean, this is good and bad, as

107
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 7: we know, it's very bad, but you could suddenly you

108
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 7: could have access to the thoughts of these people. So

109
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 7: of course I followed hands in Zack and Isaac or

110
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 7: whoever was on there. And I think I had been

111
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 7: quite vocal ever since I was doing interviews about how

112
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 7: much I loved Hansen.

113
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 8: Okay, I still listen.

115
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 7: vocal about how much I loved them many times. And

116
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 7: I think Two Bury Girls was was was popular or

117
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 7: something at that time. So they they they saw something

118

Speaker 9: image of like the front of the Titanic, just like

161
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 9: he just he's such a beautiful I'm not doing good

162
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 9: words for this, but you know.

163
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 6: Exactly what I know what you mean.

164
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 9: Yes, writer's most poetics sole we've ever met. Yes, And

165
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 9: I remember this moment he had like come to visit

166
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 9: me in Italy and there was this like field of

167
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 9: sunflowers on the way to where we're going, and he

168
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 9: tells the driver's staff the car and he looks at

169
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 9: me what's out his hand, And I'm.

170
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Like, oh, no, oh, no, what are we doing?

171
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 9: We have to run into these through these flowers, like

172
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 9: really looking for just like a movie. And I knew

173
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 9: in that moment that I was just like, I'm not

174
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 9: I'm not a person what he's like ultimately gonna need

175
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 9: and I and we got a little way into that field,

176
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 9: but I was just like, I don't I don't know

177
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 9: about this. But the thing that I can definitely give

178
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 9: to young Danielle is that even though we were each

179
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 9: other's first lot of things, I remember he one time

180
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 9: made the I feel that sharing with the lightly personal business,

181
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 9: but I feel like he would be okay. He's very

182
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 9: open and warm and accepting and loving to his younger self.

183
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 9: I remember one time he said to me like, if

184
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 9: you weren't with me, you know, who would you want

185
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 9: to be with? And I realized in retrospect that he

186
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 9: was probably thinking I'd be like, oh, I don't know

187
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 9: James c and if he was still alive or something

188
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 9: like that. But instead I say the name of my

189
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 9: ex boyfriend and he takes it on the chin and

190
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 9: I was like, I realized that I've probably answered wrong,

191
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 9: And then I say, well what about you? And he goes, Danielle,

192
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 9: what the presses? I think I didn't remember?

193
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, So then did you not like me after that?

194
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 9: No?

195
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: Well not now now I'm sure, I'm sure it's fine,

196
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 2: but at the time where you like.

197
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 9: I remember directly trying to figure out if I was

198
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 9: in trouble first, because I was just like real, real.

199
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: Which I was not.

200
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 8: Respectrum no, no, but yeah, it wouldn't.

201
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: Be teen Beat if we didn't have a boy bander.

202
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: Here's a clip with my vacation chaperone, ninety eight Degrees, Drewliche,

203
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: thank you for doing the show. I think this is

204
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: now at least the second time you've been forced to

205
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: hang out with me, the first time being in Cancun

206
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: when I went to visit Lance, and then the minute

207
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: I got there, Lance and the rest of the Insinct

208
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: boys left to do a random new opportunity to perform

209
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: a show somewhere, and I was basically solo in Cancun,

210
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: and Lance said, here, it's no problem, I'll just set

211
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 2: you up with the ninety eight degrees guys. They're the greatest,

212
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 2: and you'll just hang out with them. And I literally

213
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: just followed you guys around for like at least forty

214
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: eight hours.

215
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 10: There were some random booze cruise in there somewhere, and

216
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 10: there was I don't I don't even remember what we

217
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 10: were down there.

218
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: For but yeah, those were it was a spring break.

219
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 10: Well, yes, we weren't supposed to remember it.

220
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, it was a it was a blast, you know,

221
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 11: those those opportunities, so many of them came along, and

222
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 11: it's when you look back on it, like there are

223
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 11: so there was so much that was just condensed into

224
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 11: those you know a couple of years.

225
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 10: It's it's really kind of this crazy whirlwind of a ride.

226
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: Do you remember than ever feeling like, why did Lance

227
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: just pawn this girl off on us?

228
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:58,440

Speaker 6: I've ever seen. Now, I will not say his name

258

259
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 6: say his name, but I thought he was great. And

260
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 6: there was a girl friend of mine. She's now a friend,

261
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,839

Speaker 2: the pot.

265
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,679

00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 9: So I walk up.

295
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 6: He's talking to his friends.

296
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: I walk up.

297
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 6: I give him the note, Danielle like, give them the

298
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 6: note listeners. And he said, what's this? And I said,

299
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 6: and he didn't say it, like, what's this? He said,

300
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 6: what's this?

301
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: And I said, you know, oh.

302
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 4: It looks so confident.

303
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: She really you never first second did you think did

304
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: you think maybe she's doing something to screw me over?

305
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 4: Oh?

306
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 6: No, I thought, this is this is a lovely thing

307
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 6: she's doing. She sees the love is supposed to happen,

308
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 6: and she's just about to happen. So he opened the note,

309
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 6: so in front of me, you read the note. He

310
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 6: laughed at the note. He showed the note to the

311
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 6: friends with him, and then he passed the note around

312
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 6: the lunch room. And the bottom line was, how dare

313
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 6: she think that I whatever? So I, of course am

314
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 6: face on the ground. I scurry out of there. I've

315
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 6: never scurried in my life, but I scurried. Scurried that

316
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 6: scurried out of there. And I got to the bathroom

317
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 6: because I didn't want to go to study hall.

318
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:29,160

00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,280

323
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: I did not.

324
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 6: Understand because again, I'm the one that's like everybody can

00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 6: there and then people are coming in, girls are coming

328
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,680

Speaker 6: blah blah blah, Oh my god, he would never like it.

335
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 6: I can't believe. I die. I'm so embarrassed for her.

336
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 6: So I didn't have to go to study hall because

337
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 6: lunch is over, I have to go to study hall

338
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 6: check in. I get in study hall and I just

339
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 6: put my head down on my desk and I'm just like,

340
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 6: I'm crying.

341
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: It's bad.

342
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 6: The girl that did this to me, comes and sits

343
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 6: in front of me, and she leans down and she goes,

344
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 6: I can't believe you thought he would ever like you?

345
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 6: How dumb are you?

346
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: And finally, fresh off the return of Malcolm in the Middle,

347
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: I chatted with Frankie Munez, who may just be the

348
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: most interesting person I've ever talked to. Here's a clip.

349
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: What age did racing become an interest for you? You

350
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: said you were always interested in cars, but when did

351
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: the idea of racing them?

352
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 4: I same there. I remember being a kid. My family

353
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 4: did not like racing, So that's not like I went

354
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 4: to races with my dad or they didn't watch it

355
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: on TV. But I always woke up at like four

356
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 4: or five in the morning, even when I was five

357
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 4: six years old. Yeah, you know, I'd go in the

358
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 4: living room and I put on the TV. And on

359
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 4: the weekends, the Formula One races would be on at

360
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 4: like five am because it's you know, they're in Europe

361
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 4: or whatever. And I remember watching those, and I watched

362
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 4: the IndyCar races, and I watched NASCAR races and I

363
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 4: remember loving it, but like it never crossed my mind

364
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 4: that I ever would be a race car driver. Because

365
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 4: like it's like saying you want to be an astronaut,

366
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 4: Like yeah, it's a dream, but like how do you

367
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: how do you do that? Like right, you know, no

368
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 4: one really does that, you know what I mean? So

369
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 4: I actually I thought about this the other day and

370
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 4: I and it was the first time I thought about it.

371
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 4: The reason why I'm a race car driver is actually

372
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 4: because of Brian Kranston. And I don't think I've ever

373
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: said this out loud to like on an interview. So

374
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 4: he did. He and Chris Masterson, who played Francis on

375
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 4: Malcolm they got invited to do the Toyota Grand Prix

376
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 4: of Long Beach Pro celebrity race. And this was like

377
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 4: two thousand and two or two thousand and three, and

378
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 4: Brian came back from that and he goes, it was

379
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 4: the most critible thing I've ever done in my life.

380
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 4: And if you because you knew I loved cars, It's like,

381
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 4: if they ever ask you, you have to say yes,

382
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 4: but you have to be eighteen. I think I was

383
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 4: seventeen at the time. So the following year they asked me,

384
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, I do it. And they send

385
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: you out to like Palmdale and you like train at

386
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: Willow Springs Raceway for a few weeks and it is

387
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: a very serious as a pro sutter race, but like

388
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 4: it's very serious, there's still going there's still a risk

389
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 4: of death, yes, like yeah, and I just remember loving it,

390
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 4: but I didn't think I'd be good at it. But

391
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: I ended up winning the race.

392
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh.

393
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 4: But that feeling, I mean, I've experienced a lot of

394
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 4: cool things in my life. That feeling of crossing the

395
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 4: finish line first is unlike anything I've ever experienced. Because

396
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 4: like as an actor, I could dedicate my life to

397
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 4: a role or to a job and put in what

398
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 4: I think is the best performance I've ever done in

399
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 4: my life and people see it and they're like, eh,

400
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 4: there's okay, you're subjective, right, Some people love it, some

401
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: people hate it. You know, where in racing, if you're

402
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 4: the best, you win, and if you're not, you don't.

403
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: You know, it's right there, you know. And I've never

404
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 4: had something that had been a part of that that's

405
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 4: the case. So winning that was amazing. A pro team

406
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 4: approached me after that race and was like, hey, we

407
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 4: we'd love to just put you in the car just

408
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 4: for fun, like just for a test. Just come down

409
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 4: fight to Houston. We'll put you in the race car.

410
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: You can have two fun days and that'll be it.

411
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, and I remember sitting in the

412
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: race car. They were molding my seat because like they

413
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 4: mold the sea into your body, and I was trembling.

414
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 4: I was so scared because I was like, I don't

415
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 4: know what I'm doing. I have no idea what I'm doing.

416
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 4: And cut to the end of the two days, I

417
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 4: was faster than their like professional driver, and they were like,

418
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 4: we didn't really think anything of this, but like you

419
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 4: you should do this, Like what's your experience. I go

420
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 4: the pro celebrity race and Long Beach, you know. And

421
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 4: so they signed me to a two year development deal

422
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: and the next thing I knew, like a month later,

423
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 4: not knowing the rules of what the race, of the

424
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 4: racing or what I was doing, I was racing against

425
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 4: some of the top drivers in the world, and I

426
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 4: was a professional driver, so it just kind of happened.
