Speaker 1: So we as a society and a species have become.
Speaker 2: Starting small, We're going to be really focused today.
Speaker 3: Well have become of time. And I'm not going to
Speaker 3: say it's just me. I'm going to say it's all
Speaker 3: of us.
Speaker 2: No sweete generalizations are about to come down the pike
Speaker 2: to hear this.
Speaker 4: Wait for this.
Speaker 1: So for the last twenty four hours, Sue and I
Speaker 1: have had no hot water.
Speaker 5: Oh no, and it's like we're cave people.
Speaker 6: Like barricaded part of the house and oh my god,
Speaker 6: on each other for resource.
Speaker 3: The world has.
Speaker 1: Turned upside down because we can't take a warm shower.
Speaker 3: And we were talking about how funny was that.
Speaker 1: It's like people have been able to shower a warm
Speaker 1: shower for like one hundred years. Of the ten thousand
Speaker 1: people have been around one hundred of them, and we
Speaker 1: the shower turn off.
Speaker 3: We look at each other like, what do we move?
Speaker 3: What do we how do we do?
Speaker 6: Just give up? Just give up, just wave the flag
Speaker 6: of surrender and die, just give up what we do?
Speaker 1: That's probably something with the magical tankless water heater, which
Speaker 1: somehow makes water out of a thing that I don't know,
Speaker 1: but it led to another Sioux Will conversation which I
Speaker 1: wanted to pose a question.
Speaker 3: So you have to.
Speaker 1: Choose, and this is a full bubble around you. It's
Speaker 1: not just your house, this is you forever. Do you
Speaker 1: live without heat and air conditioning, hot water or the internet.
Speaker 2: Forever?
Speaker 4: Oh god, that's a tough call.
Speaker 2: No, I mean you can't.
Speaker 3: I mean this is what we did, however, but you're
Speaker 3: still like trying.
Speaker 2: To live your normal life like you, just like we're.
Speaker 3: Regular, regular life.
Speaker 1: It's just everywhere you go, it's like everyone else, it's
Speaker 1: just just you.
Speaker 2: Well, then you need the internet just to function as
Speaker 2: a human being. We couldn't do this anymore.
Speaker 5: I live without hot water.
Speaker 6: Really, yeah, I think I had to live without hot
Speaker 6: water because air condition if I'm living, if I'm in
Speaker 6: Los Angeles, if I live in Los Angeles, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: you need air conditioning, Like I know.
Speaker 5: It gets to be one hundred and seventeen.
Speaker 2: And you're still okay, So wait, you'd go without air conditioning?
Speaker 5: I mean no. I also can't sleep unless it's sixty
Speaker 5: five degrees in the rank, so I sixty five tot
Speaker 5: for us. I opt for the sweet, sweet sleep of death.
Speaker 3: I never get hot water anywhere, Nope, you get.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like, uh, just Cassandra, where no matter
Speaker 1: what story she tells, no one believes.
Speaker 5: I think I have to go without the Internet. I
Speaker 5: because here's the thing. People around me have the Internet.
Speaker 5: I don't. But so if I'm with someone like say
Speaker 5: I'm with writer, who's already decided he has the Internet,
Speaker 5: I just like, writer, can you open up map quest?
Speaker 5: And writer, can you search for a play? I just
Speaker 5: have to relate. Annoy everybody. Just annoy everyone with air
Speaker 5: conditioning and hot water.
Speaker 6: Okay, I've had multiple conversations. I've known two people who
Speaker 6: went to dumb phones. Oh yeah, you know where they
Speaker 6: can sounds And that's exactly what happens is they just
Speaker 6: antagonize everybody around them because like, hey, could you use
Speaker 6: you called the lift?
Speaker 2: Can you get an uber for us?
Speaker 5: And it's like what yeah, yeah, I'll send.
Speaker 6: You me yeah uh And then if you send like
Speaker 6: a photo, it's just completely backfire and like could you
Speaker 6: email that to me?
Speaker 2: And so yeah, uh it's a so yeah.
Speaker 6: I I you would be that person, but it would
Speaker 6: probably be better for your mental health to turn off
Speaker 6: the Internet.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 5: Also, hold on, they're your friends that got dumb phones.
Speaker 5: They're using them like around the clock.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a clip phone.
Speaker 6: They're like just a phone like my texts and then
Speaker 6: they can they can call people.
Speaker 5: But that should you? Like, I feel like a dumb
Speaker 5: phone is a great idea to set limits on your
Speaker 5: use of the smartphones. So like if you're going out
Speaker 5: with friends to dinner and you're gonna need to get
Speaker 5: an uber and or do other things, I feel like
Speaker 5: that's a time where you go on, I'm going to
Speaker 5: bring the smartphone, but like from this hour to this hour,
Speaker 5: I use only the dumb phone. I feel like people
Speaker 5: are not I.
Speaker 1: Always assume if you have two phones you have a
Speaker 1: second family and a mistress or something like anybody who's.
Speaker 3: Like I just always think you're a dr forhes.
Speaker 5: I have two phones. Now do you really do you
Speaker 5: have a content phone?
Speaker 2: A content phone?
Speaker 5: Content phone?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fun, but without the internet.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's not that I don't want the second phone.
Speaker 5: But what like when I was dancing, do you know
Speaker 5: how many hundreds of four and five minute long videos
Speaker 5: I have of me up and dance rights? But because
Speaker 5: I needed to be able to go back and watch
Speaker 5: it and hoping to try to catch one that's perfect,
Speaker 5: and like my phone was like, okay, you have three
Speaker 5: hundred gigabytes of dance videos. It's like, okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: do something with these. So I find.
Speaker 3: Danced in five g would be easier.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I guess, I guess. I'm Danielle.
Speaker 5: You've you've I've decided I'm going to say the Internet.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say the Internet. I'm gonna I agree.
Speaker 1: I need hot water and I need to sleep in comfort.
Speaker 3: So i'd have to get rid of the Internet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, We're going to be three people just sitting around
Speaker 1: a table going welcome to Podmeats World, and nobody Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody's there.
Speaker 5: It's like the three tables around can look up.
Speaker 3: Just three of us on.
Speaker 2: Don't even watch. We couldn't even finish the red.
Speaker 3: That was That was the thing.
Speaker 1: Is that that led to the conversation of what the
Speaker 1: internet actually touches. Yeah, because I mean then you're talking
Speaker 1: about everything you stream usually you're you're doing internet phone calls.
Speaker 1: I mean the Web.
Speaker 3: It's like it's everything so so much.
Speaker 5: We have d v ds for Boy Meets World. We
Speaker 5: could always watch the dv the Boy Meets World DVDs.
Speaker 5: All of us being married helps us because you're our partner.
Speaker 5: If they were in the same scenario, they can keep
Speaker 5: the Internet and.
Speaker 1: Then you're married until Jensen finds your second phone.
Speaker 5: I'm a drug dealer. That's a problem.
Speaker 2: It's the content content.
Speaker 4: I didn't.
Speaker 3: Like you, like me, my friend apartments.
Speaker 5: You guys think i'd be with a giant guy on
Speaker 5: the side that was Will's.
Speaker 1: You don't think you don't think she'd be with the guy,
Speaker 1: you know, the six foot four kind of burly dude, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I say.
Speaker 5: That's Will's fantasy.
Speaker 1: No, that's the fantasy. It's the next pre show chatter.
Speaker 1: What are mistress?
Speaker 7: What are you?
Speaker 1: Who?
Speaker 5: What are you?
Speaker 1: Would be?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: God, having an affairs just sounds exhausted.
Speaker 6: Can you imagine, like no, trying to keep track of it,
Speaker 6: like keep track of one person.
Speaker 1: To just the fear all the time, constantly, so much
Speaker 1: guilt and no way.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 5: Jensen and I looked at each other so many times
Speaker 5: and been like, I would never cheat because I don't
Speaker 5: have the time. I just just if nothing else where
Speaker 5: would we find the time.
Speaker 1: Seriously, So when I look at each other and go,
Speaker 1: this is this is it. So you better be happy
Speaker 1: or we'll find it somewhere, because this we ain't going anywhere.
Speaker 5: This is it.
Speaker 3: This is what we got bro.
Speaker 5: The best.
Speaker 6: That's the definition of middle age. I think it's just
Speaker 6: you know, it's not going to get better than this.
Speaker 6: Her body is just.
Speaker 2: Gonna let me down more and more.
Speaker 5: I know for the next she.
Speaker 6: Can do better.
Speaker 3: I just try not to let her know that.
Speaker 5: You tell her she's lucky all the time. You're just
Speaker 5: so lucky, you can do better than this.
Speaker 1: As I'm like waddling back some we're coughing.
Speaker 6: Gonna get.
Speaker 5: Welcome to Pod Meets World. I'm Daniel Fischel, I'm righter strong,
Speaker 5: I'm wilfredell Well. When this week's guest first visited Pod
Speaker 5: Meets World back in season three, in passing, she mentioned
Speaker 5: something she wore called the Tankini, we luckily had absolutely
Speaker 5: no idea what she was talking about. So she threw
Speaker 5: out the idea that when we did get to it,
Speaker 5: she could always come back and dig a little deeper.
Speaker 5: And so we got to it, and yeah, we need
Speaker 5: her to dig deeper. Questionable outfits aside, it was nice
Speaker 5: to see young Morgan Matthews get her own storyline in
Speaker 5: Show Me the Love, the first episode of season seven,
Speaker 5: considering we all knew the actress who played her could
Speaker 5: have handled much more over the four seasons she was
Speaker 5: on the show, especially after we saw season six better
Speaker 5: than the average Corey when she showed off her ready
Speaker 5: for the stage musical talents with a rendition of the
Speaker 5: wind Beneath My Wings or some out of character chops,
Speaker 5: when she had a precocious Hollywood run in with Will
Speaker 5: outside the set of Kid gets Acquainted with the universe,
Speaker 5: and while on tour a while back, when we'd open
Speaker 5: it up to the audience for questions, so many of
Speaker 5: them involved her and the actor transition that occurred in
Speaker 5: season three, which remains a rare untold story that even
Speaker 5: the podcast couldn't fully uncover. And so now post Tankini,
Speaker 5: like she predicted we would, we are thrilled to welcome
Speaker 5: back a core member of the show and the Matthews family.
Speaker 5: It's the longest running Morgan in Boy Meets World history.
Speaker 5: Lindsay Ridgeway, Oh.
Speaker 6: Hey, welcome Barons.
Speaker 4: Back again.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Will and Danielle don't like did you kind of
Speaker 6: half expect to see a thirteen year old pop up.
Speaker 6: Did part of your brain like, yeah, part of my
Speaker 6: brain was still like waiting to see Lindsay exactly as
Speaker 6: she was seventh. It was like, oh, right, right, of.
Speaker 4: Course I have.
Speaker 7: I have turned forty since the last time I saw
Speaker 7: you all, so we're all on the other side.
Speaker 4: Fam.
Speaker 5: It's really crazy to me that the Morgan Matthews we
Speaker 5: have grown to love over four seasons is now forty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you made it.
Speaker 5: You look by the way, it's true, I mean almost
Speaker 5: exactly the same you do.
Speaker 4: I hope that's good.
Speaker 7: I hope that means that I don't don't need to
Speaker 7: consider surgical uh, you know.
Speaker 5: It does mean. It does mean that, please please do not.
Speaker 7: I think all of us look good though, every one
Speaker 7: of us. I think we all look the same. It
Speaker 7: was the fountain of youth, our set. That's what That's
Speaker 7: what I'm going to say.
Speaker 1: It's it was whatever the preservatives were in the meatballs.
Speaker 3: Were so crag.
Speaker 4: Do not remember the soups? I don't.
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, Craig Soups.
Speaker 4: I've definitely heard you guys mentioned that.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 5: You predicted the last time we saw you that we
Speaker 5: would be yearning for you to come back. In season seven,
Speaker 5: and you're right, because we do now know what the
Speaker 5: Tangkini is and we have some questions.
Speaker 7: Trust So yeah, well I also have questions about it.
Speaker 5: How old were you when this when season seven taped?
Speaker 5: It aired in September twenty Chember twenty fourth, nineteen ninety nine,
Speaker 5: so you would have been it.
Speaker 7: Was ninety nine, right, Yeah, I was a freshman in
Speaker 7: high school, so probably like fifteen. Yeah, my birthdays and
Speaker 7: this summer, so I probably just turned fifteen right before
Speaker 7: we started this season.
Speaker 3: When's your birthday?
Speaker 4: June June twenty second.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5: We really wanted you to have an August birthday.
Speaker 4: My sister does my sister, does.
Speaker 2: You even get the magical power of the eleventh s?
Speaker 7: All?
Speaker 4: Right, well i'm out.
Speaker 5: Do you remember what your real life was like as
Speaker 5: you were as we were coming into the seventh season, Like,
Speaker 5: what were you doing in your personal life?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean I was just going to high school.
Speaker 7: I probably had a birthday party, you know, June summer
Speaker 7: before we came back.
Speaker 4: You know, every every week.
Speaker 7: That I was not there, if I wasn't filming, I
Speaker 7: was just at school. I was just at regular high school,
Speaker 7: mobbing around with my friends. I joined the mock trial team,
Speaker 7: so I was probably doing some of that as well.
Speaker 5: Mock trial. That's so fun.
Speaker 4: Wait were you was fun?
Speaker 5: Were you a lawyer? What did you get to be? I?
Speaker 7: Well, I was on I We went to the national
Speaker 7: competition to my senior year in high school, so there
Speaker 7: we go. Yeah, I got to be an attorney and
Speaker 7: a scientific expert witness depending on what side was competing.
Speaker 1: You've got to be careful with that stuff. I'm still
Speaker 1: mock wanted in three states and criminal and all that.
Speaker 3: That is not that feat.
Speaker 7: Look, you know, Yeah, so I was probably yeah, just
Speaker 7: also preparing to begin high school, started driving.
Speaker 4: Most likely.
Speaker 7: My parents were also getting divorced at that time in
Speaker 7: real life.
Speaker 4: So it's weird that that's like the vibe of.
Speaker 7: This whole for because I, okay, I must say, I
Speaker 7: don't watch this show much like you guys. I have
Speaker 7: no idea what's happening, Like he don't know, I don't
Speaker 7: remember any of this. And for sure, my husband, we've
Speaker 7: we've been together over eight years now, he's never once
Speaker 7: watched this with me ever until this past weekend.
Speaker 4: So that was fun. Did he like?
Speaker 7: Because I watched that episode and you know, he was
Speaker 7: just like, how nineties is this?
Speaker 4: He was like, man, this is.
Speaker 7: You know we remember, like you remember it's not a
Speaker 7: like this type of some of the dialogue in this episode,
Speaker 7: specifically like Want season seven episode one, like it wouldn't
Speaker 7: be written now like one hundred percent that would be
Speaker 7: zero zero approval. Yeah, Like I audibly gasped a few times.
Speaker 4: Like just like what that that made it? That's bad?
Speaker 4: And so yeah, he was.
Speaker 7: He was definitely remembering that that like, but not only that,
Speaker 7: He's like, well, other shows just had completely unreal stuff too,
Speaker 7: Family Matters and all these other shows that just their
Speaker 7: plots kind of went so far down. You know, I
Speaker 7: think after seven years of time, there's nowhere left to go.
Speaker 7: So they're just creating all this extra drama for no reason.
Speaker 7: Much of which is this this outfit situation, which I yeah,
Speaker 7: I think the shorts were better. I appreciated your guys, Danielle,
Speaker 7: thank you for telling them that hotpants are not pants.
Speaker 4: That's definitely you guys learned your less.
Speaker 5: They learned something. They learned something that day.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have a daughter, so I have to learn
Speaker 7: also very hard on the wardrobe situation.
Speaker 5: So how old is your daughter. She's five?
Speaker 7: She is five, Yeah, yeah, going on thirty five. Let
Speaker 7: me tell you, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: I know that happens to you. I mean my boys
Speaker 5: are also, you know, six and four going on twenty
Speaker 5: six and twenty four, especially my six year old. The tude,
Speaker 5: the tude he has sometimes I'm like, oh, do you
Speaker 5: think you are?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm like, well, you know, are you paying the
Speaker 7: mortgage of the I don't think so.
Speaker 5: By the way, slacker, get out there and start.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right right, yeah, So.
Speaker 5: What do you remember from this infamous tankiny week and
Speaker 5: the do you were? There are a lot of wardrobe footings.
Speaker 4: It's right, I'm starting it in my home. It's gonna
Speaker 4: be gonna be a thing here this year.
Speaker 7: Every I don't know, I'll pick a random week like
Speaker 7: guess what. I so, it's funny my parents were here
Speaker 7: over the holidays and I was just like, yo, you.
Speaker 4: Guys remember this or like, what's up with that? Right?
Speaker 7: And it's funny how much like I don't know about
Speaker 7: your guys's families and what they remember, don't I know?
Speaker 7: I was, you know, I'm probably in the range of
Speaker 7: what four to five years younger than you. Guys, it
Speaker 7: seems so much less like as as adults now the
Speaker 7: time frame doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: But yes, yes, all right, I.
Speaker 4: Was being good. Yeah it's a range. Time is a construct.
Speaker 7: But you know, I mean, but then at that point back,
Speaker 7: you know, in school years, it means it's a lot
Speaker 7: more it feels like more time right.
Speaker 4: Than it does now.
Speaker 7: And so I know I was still fairly much younger
Speaker 7: than most of these folks, and so you know, my
Speaker 7: parents are just like, oh, yeah, that's just like that's just.
Speaker 4: What was happening.
Speaker 7: Then it's like cool, if someone tried to put my
Speaker 7: kid in that out and on TV, I'd be like, hell, no,
Speaker 7: thank you, try again. I remember they made that shirt.
Speaker 4: I remember it did not come like that, like it
Speaker 4: was cut, it was hemmed.
Speaker 7: There was elastic they sewed in like it was made
Speaker 7: to look like that. They took like another random tank
Speaker 7: top and like cropped it up.
Speaker 4: I specifically remember that. So yeah, I don't know, and
Speaker 4: I feel.
Speaker 7: Like like as I was watching, obviously I can't I
Speaker 7: couldn't actually fit watched the screen.
Speaker 4: Also, I don't know how you guys do this. I
Speaker 4: don't know how you watch all these I had I
Speaker 4: it's just like edible helpers. Oh gosh, is this water?
Speaker 4: We don't know? Who knows?
Speaker 7: You do?
Speaker 4: Get used to?
Speaker 5: I will say.
Speaker 6: I will say, like, the first couple of times we
Speaker 6: watched the show was awful. Like I feel like we've
Speaker 6: all gotten over it.
Speaker 2: Ye, it's the first episode two.
Speaker 4: Disassociated. Some might say reality exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 7: I definitely felt the same uncomfortable feeling that I that
Speaker 7: I did at that point in time. I mean, you know,
Speaker 7: I as a teenager, you already don't you know.
Speaker 4: And I think, but I think it has changed.
Speaker 7: I think that women and girls today wear so much
Speaker 7: crazier stuff than we did when we were that age,
Speaker 7: like in nineteen ninety nine. So think at the time
Speaker 7: it was like what is this and why is this?
Speaker 7: Why is this going to be the focal point of that?
Speaker 7: And then like to call it a bra And like
Speaker 7: that one line that restI says about the moms that
Speaker 7: I was just like.
Speaker 4: I forgot that line the go put on your the
Speaker 4: unsexy crap. I was just like, you have got to
Speaker 4: be kidding me. That is insane.
Speaker 7: So then it it spun me out and then I'm like, okay, pause,
Speaker 7: you know, like Chrit.
Speaker 4: My husband's name is k like Chris.
Speaker 7: Let's discuss this, Like, I don't remember any female writers,
Speaker 7: do you, guys?
Speaker 4: I don't remember this one.
Speaker 7: It was like I was like, dudes wrote this, so
Speaker 7: they're like, that's hilarious.
Speaker 5: There were actually I think there were more women on
Speaker 5: staff this season, more women than any other season. I
Speaker 5: think there may have.
Speaker 8: Been women, which is nuts, yeah, because they actually, yeah,
Speaker 8: that is this is a very particular, like new thing
Speaker 8: on the show that we haven't seen, which is this
Speaker 8: anxiety about what women wear, because you know, it's obviously
Speaker 8: been a very boy centric show and like if there's
Speaker 8: any commentary about what women are wearing, it's like in
Speaker 8: relation to topanga or like it's more about desirability.
Speaker 2: And like this is the first time that they're like
Speaker 2: actively trying to address it, and I just think they
Speaker 2: just it's so they threw Rusty's character just out the window.
Speaker 6: It just doesn't make sense. It's like Alan would have
Speaker 6: no problem with this, or would engage with it in
Speaker 6: a way that could be I don't know.
Speaker 4: In what intellectual fashion seems.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, or just that he would, you know, like fairness.
Speaker 1: Though, the more that I'm watching season seven, the monize.
Speaker 3: Literally all of our characters have been thrown out the window,
Speaker 3: all of them.
Speaker 1: There's not a single character that exists in season seven
Speaker 1: that existed in season five, Like they just it's not
Speaker 1: a face.
Speaker 4: It's true.
Speaker 2: It seems like, I mean, there was a desperation about
Speaker 2: getting canceled, like fear of getting canceled. There's a sense
Speaker 2: of like grasping a straw us Like there's a sense
Speaker 2: of them like what is the show going to be?
Speaker 2: Is it Eric being this crazy? Eric being this type
Speaker 2: of crazy? Is it going to be a show about Morgan? Now?
Speaker 7: Is it?
Speaker 2: You know, they didn't know. They're just kind of like
Speaker 2: trying everything.
Speaker 4: It can't it can't be it.
Speaker 7: She wears brons and like that, you know she can't
Speaker 7: do that, like that, she's she's taken out for wardrobe
Speaker 7: reasons alone and that and that other kid, like I
Speaker 7: feel bad for him.
Speaker 4: I was watching the the the what's his name? God,
Speaker 4: what's his character's name?
Speaker 7: I literally already forgot the kid who I'm going on the.
Speaker 2: Day's name In real life, his name is Jacob Chase.
Speaker 4: But I'm like, I still okay there for Jacob Chase.
Speaker 7: Wherever you are I love you, You're having a great life,
Speaker 7: I'm sure.
Speaker 4: And positive, but that face even, Yeah, that's awesome. I'm
Speaker 4: glad he didn't let this experience scar him from.
Speaker 7: Because I saw his reaction on screen, and I was
Speaker 7: like the awkwardness we both felt in that dialogue and
Speaker 7: in that exchange and being in front of those people.
Speaker 4: And then of course you have like unhinged band coming
Speaker 4: in like.
Speaker 7: Gotta watch out, and you're like, oh God, who is
Speaker 7: this grembling coming from the stairs.
Speaker 4: Like in the middle of no. Whole thing was just.
Speaker 7: Like you're watching it, You're just like, I can't look like,
Speaker 7: I can't look at it. But then if you are
Speaker 7: looking at it, you can't really look away from it
Speaker 7: because it's like very unhinged.
Speaker 5: I do think there was a real The idea of
Speaker 5: being shocked when your kids are growing up and you
Speaker 5: see them as young people, young adults, rather than the
Speaker 5: little kid you remember is a great storyline, and it
Speaker 5: really was not that long ago. We were talking about
Speaker 5: how much they infantilized your character and you by even
Speaker 5: though you were like fourteen years old, it seemed like
Speaker 5: they still had you in footy pajamas and so to
Speaker 5: go from the whiplash of last time we saw her
Speaker 5: she was in like suspends with a flower coming out
Speaker 5: of her pocket, to now all of a sudden, she's
Speaker 5: wearing short shorts and a crop top. It just feels
Speaker 5: like there's an easy you could have been in, something
Speaker 5: not at all scandalous or sexualized at all, and it's
Speaker 5: but yeah, and it still could have been like what
Speaker 5: happened to why are there no flowers in your hair?
Speaker 5: You know, to be like, what do you mean you're
Speaker 5: going on a date? You're five? No, I'm not, you know, right.
Speaker 4: Right, the situation alone, I think was enough.
Speaker 7: It's like, you know, then you're putting this whole other
Speaker 7: layer on top of it, which makes it about the outfit,
Speaker 7: which then throws you know, Betsy into this whole like
Speaker 7: why is she now the target? And she's having to
Speaker 7: like literally you know, call her husband a page and
Speaker 7: over again in front of everyone there.
Speaker 4: It just it spiraled very quickly out of control, I think.
Speaker 7: But but you know, like you guys all all mentioned
Speaker 7: in in your own way, with your own characters and
Speaker 7: all the plotlines going on. Me, I think everything is
Speaker 7: sort of taking that route, you know, But yeah, I
Speaker 7: mean I definitely think, you know, and I know, you know,
Speaker 7: there's a lot of there are there's a there's a
Speaker 7: popular opinion out there that my version of this character
Speaker 7: is not preferred to the first one.
Speaker 4: I get it. I see the redditors out there, y'all.
Speaker 1: There really wait, Reddit does more than just my wife
Speaker 1: cheated on me and I destroyed her life.
Speaker 3: I'm missing that right right?
Speaker 4: Or am I the asshole because my in law was
Speaker 4: coming to my house so I'm kicking them out?
Speaker 7: Yeah? No, for I look, yeah, I'm you know, people
Speaker 7: liked the little and Lily is great. She's so great,
Speaker 7: and she had such a really great timing instinct, and
Speaker 7: every you know her, her earlier presence, I think is
Speaker 7: what people were setting the standard for.
Speaker 4: And you know, everybody's kind.
Speaker 7: Of like, oh, well, you know, the second this second actor,
Speaker 7: you know, has such more of an attitude and she's
Speaker 7: so mean, like we like the first.
Speaker 4: One, you know. And I'm only saying what they're writing down,
Speaker 4: you know, ye.
Speaker 5: How to say? Do they know that you didn't write
Speaker 5: your own dialogue?
Speaker 4: I'm assuming, I mean, but you know I would. And again,
Speaker 4: when you have I think that.
Speaker 7: Child actors, you know, from what I understand of industry
Speaker 7: today and maybe you guys have more insight being more
Speaker 7: in it than I am, but have more autonomy and
Speaker 7: sort of creating personalities around their characters, right, Saying what
Speaker 7: they would like to do is like conversing with producers
Speaker 7: and directors and saying like, hey, I don't really think
Speaker 7: that works or I think this.
Speaker 4: Is you want me to say this in a way
Speaker 4: that I think.
Speaker 7: Is a little bit too far or too not enough,
Speaker 7: And I just don't think that was the case, at
Speaker 7: least for me at this time.
Speaker 4: It's like I did it.
Speaker 7: We got notes, Michael, like you got to go and
Speaker 7: then that's what you do, and that's what I remember.
Speaker 4: So it's like, I don't really you know, I.
Speaker 7: Can't fault younger me for just doing what I directed
Speaker 7: to do by adults.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, there's a big difference in having a voice
Speaker 1: and and being given your voice. And we I think
Speaker 1: a lot of younger actors back in the day, probably
Speaker 1: not just on our show, but that's what we you know,
Speaker 1: obviously knew that was our world.
Speaker 3: I think that a lot of.
Speaker 1: What to say, I mean again, and that was better
Speaker 1: than it was. I remember talking to the actor who
Speaker 1: played Peter Brady in The Brady Bunch, who said, oh,
Speaker 1: we didn't We didn't have parking spaces, we didn't have
Speaker 1: a dressing room. They all threw us in a big room.
Speaker 1: I didn't have lines to read from an audition. I
Speaker 1: just played with toys. It's like the kids were props
Speaker 1: in the sixties and seventies. So it's slowly getting better.
Speaker 1: And I think now Danielle can speak to this more
Speaker 1: than anybody else because she works with child actors a lot.
Speaker 1: But I think now the kids have an advocacy and
Speaker 1: they have a voice, and they can they can say
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this, or I do want
Speaker 1: to do this, or work with the director on the characters.
Speaker 1: We didn't really have much of it one.
Speaker 7: Hundred percent, And I think there's more. There's more advocates,
Speaker 7: like you know, like the intimacy coordinators right like people
Speaker 7: go you can you can tell some intimacy corner doesn't
Speaker 7: necessarily have to be like an intimate scene. It can
Speaker 7: be like, yeah, I'm uncomfortable wearing this outfit. I feel
Speaker 7: like we got to work through that. What else can
Speaker 7: we do to make that actor feel A B and
Speaker 7: C right that that's not a thing, like we didn't
Speaker 7: have that, Like you know, it's just like here, you've
Speaker 7: got producers, you kid, your director, you've got the actors.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 7: Your parents are sitting off to the side, waiting in
Speaker 7: the schoolroom where you're going to return to when you're done.
Speaker 7: You know. So I definitely feel that if it were
Speaker 7: now in this same scene we're being written and directed
Speaker 7: and put on TV, the process would have been completely
Speaker 7: different and the end result would have possibly been one
Speaker 7: hundred percent not what you see, right.
Speaker 4: So what you see in that episode?
Speaker 5: Do you remember feeling uncomfortable with what you were wearing?
Speaker 5: Did you express that to anybody? Because we we have
Speaker 5: had episodes where we're in bathing, so like in season
Speaker 5: one or two, right, there's you know where we take
Speaker 5: off a robe and the audience goes, whoa for our
Speaker 5: twelve and thirteen year old bodies? Yes, in swimsuits, and we.
Speaker 4: Write, which is bad? Mortified?
Speaker 7: Yes, you see how much of my middle section is
Speaker 7: hanging out there?
Speaker 4: I mean, like that's not great. No, I don't that's
Speaker 4: and it doesn't matter, Like it doesn't.
Speaker 7: Matter if you're a kid or you know, now as
Speaker 7: an adult, like you you know, you kind of reserve
Speaker 7: the right to decide how much of that you want
Speaker 7: to show.
Speaker 4: And that's sort of where I'm you know, where I'm
Speaker 4: coming from it.
Speaker 7: Now, It's like we didn't really have the opportunity to
Speaker 7: say or feel like we could sit because then it's like,
Speaker 7: you know, we'll go, we'll hire a kid acter that
Speaker 7: will do that.
Speaker 4: You know, you've got like ten other kids that want
Speaker 4: to be on a network.
Speaker 7: Show, right, so like, well you got to do it
Speaker 7: because this is like the utmost opportunity.
Speaker 4: And so I think there's that real dichotomy of.
Speaker 7: Wanting to say like, hey, I don't really like that,
Speaker 7: but feeling like I really can't say that because then
Speaker 7: I'm putting all of this at risk in some you know,
Speaker 7: some way your brain just makes you stay quiet about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you were coming in replacing another character. You're
Speaker 5: another person, so you were already intimately.
Speaker 4: Aware, already in a deficit, yeah.
Speaker 5: That this is not forever, like you could be replaced.
Speaker 1: Well, there's four of us, and there's four of us
Speaker 1: on the Zoom right now. Three of us replaced other
Speaker 1: actors playing career. Yeah, I mean that's crazy.
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's cutthroat, it is
Speaker 7: so in.
Speaker 3: Your in your personal life at the time.
Speaker 1: So in season seven, the family kind of took a
Speaker 1: back seat, and so we're more in the college. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you the whole family was kind of coming on sporadically.
Speaker 1: You said you were now a freshman in high school.
Speaker 1: Were you excited when you got the call that you
Speaker 1: were to come to an episode or was this like
Speaker 1: at this point, You're like, I just want to go
Speaker 1: to school. I'm going to go to school. I want
Speaker 1: to go to school.
Speaker 4: I mean, look my school.
Speaker 7: I'm still best friends with like three people that I've
Speaker 7: been to school with, some seventh grade and this was
Speaker 7: like standard.
Speaker 4: You know, people knew if Lindsay's not on in class this.
Speaker 7: Week, like we know where she is, she'll be back.
Speaker 7: But I will say that I was very used to
Speaker 7: in general, being in an episode and then being written
Speaker 7: out by the time that that Wednesday pre tape came
Speaker 7: or even from Friday read and then it's like, well
Speaker 7: your scenes are cut.
Speaker 4: So like just go home, okay.
Speaker 7: So sometimes you know you, like you said, I'm sure
Speaker 7: that even me, Russy and Betsy probably filmed things that
Speaker 7: or we're in a script at one point that that
Speaker 7: family plot line just got tossed, you know, just out.
Speaker 4: The window, and then we're not really needed, you know.
Speaker 7: So there were some times where that happened, or I
Speaker 7: did film things that then never made.
Speaker 4: It to air.
Speaker 7: So I was just kind of like, all right, it's cool,
Speaker 7: I got I got two things going.
Speaker 4: I can either be there or I can be at school.
Speaker 7: It was interchangeable for me at the time, but you know,
Speaker 7: knowing that it was our last season, because I think
Speaker 7: by then we did really know either that either way
Speaker 7: it was going to be half like it was going
Speaker 7: to go to the sweeps week and then stop or
Speaker 7: then continue, right, like there was some sort of.
Speaker 4: Double yeah nine yeah, yeah, right.
Speaker 7: So we like we knew we'd be there for a
Speaker 7: certain amount of time. So I are you know then
Speaker 7: I'm already planning, like, well, okay, so you know, second semester.
Speaker 4: School, I'm I'm doing it.
Speaker 7: I'm joining these teams right at my school and doing
Speaker 7: what A, B and C. And then you know, making
Speaker 7: the decision overall, I think for for me being fifteen
Speaker 7: turning then sixteen by the end of that year, deciding
Speaker 7: about the industry in general and what that meant for
Speaker 7: me and what if it if it was for me
Speaker 7: or not, And so you know, I remember going on
Speaker 7: other auditions for things even while we still were probably filming,
Speaker 7: because you know, you never know it's going to happen,
Speaker 7: and getting close on a few things and never never
Speaker 7: actually booking those, and then you know at some point
Speaker 7: you can only take so much of that sort of
Speaker 7: that sort of like stop start, and you just need
Speaker 7: to make a make a choice.
Speaker 4: You know, for yourself. So yeah, a lot a lot
Speaker 4: of that, a lot of reflection probably too. We were actually.
Speaker 5: Really excited to see that there was going to be
Speaker 5: in Amy Allen Morgan, like that there was going to
Speaker 5: be a big storyline. Do you remember then getting the
Speaker 5: script and being like, oh, it's kind of an episode
Speaker 5: about me, and then being like why is this an
Speaker 5: episode about me?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it probably it probably just seemed really
Speaker 7: out of left field.
Speaker 4: I mean I can say that.
Speaker 7: Now it does really kind of come out of left
Speaker 7: field for for me. I don't know how it feels
Speaker 7: for everybody else. And again, I haven't watched like religiously
Speaker 7: anything up to this point recently, so I can't really say.
Speaker 7: I just I don't think it fits. I just don't
Speaker 7: think it fits with what's going on. I I think,
Speaker 7: you know this is that this season starts so clearly
Speaker 7: with like, you know, your your parent drop, which like
Speaker 7: what was that? Like?
Speaker 4: What parents were these? Was this the Desperate Housewives mom character? Yes, okay,
Speaker 4: and this is Marsha across.
Speaker 5: Mom, marshacross mom, third.
Speaker 4: Across my dad first of all? Which f and mom?
Speaker 4: Is that for all these different people? But I do
Speaker 4: it wasn't Peter Torque one of them one of your dads?
Speaker 5: He was my first dad, and then Michael McKeon was my.
Speaker 7: Second, yes, right, and then because my mom he's in
Speaker 7: the Monkeys, right, Peter Tork. My mom like lost her mind.
Speaker 7: So she's like a huge man. I know, yes, I
Speaker 7: think they stalked them when they were they did, they
Speaker 7: got they both moms were like, we're showing up every day.
Speaker 5: We'll be there, we'll be there.
Speaker 4: Here's pizza. Because I do remember that.
Speaker 7: Because my mom's like, you, you don't understand what this is,
Speaker 7: like I'm literally eleven, I know, I don't.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So I think this season starts so much with that
Speaker 7: drama that and it just feels really jarring to move
Speaker 7: to that scene and then like where's the baby? Like
Speaker 7: why is there no like soundtrack even a baby crying
Speaker 7: in the house.
Speaker 4: Like there's just not there's no, there's no The only
Speaker 4: thing you see is like that bottle rack in the kitchen.
Speaker 4: Nothing else. There's no high chair. I hate to.
Speaker 5: Disappoint you, but we are now five episodes into season
Speaker 5: seven and there is still no sighting. And Bear Narry
Speaker 5: mentioned the next time.
Speaker 1: We see him, he's like eight, it's the last episode
Speaker 1: monologue or whatever.
Speaker 3: It's like, what the hell happened a baby?
Speaker 7: And he's like, well now I'm off to college.
Speaker 4: Crazy, Well, no, it wasn't it Michael Jacob's kid. Wasn't
Speaker 4: it his baby? That was the baby? Okay?
Speaker 2: I was like himself was literally four years old.
Speaker 7: Yeah, crazy he went getting invited to that baby's brist
Speaker 7: Did you guys go to that there?
Speaker 3: Great spread, great spread? Well what they did? It's good food,
Speaker 3: great brother, my friend. I love the fuzzle.
Speaker 5: Yeah, your last visit. We also did get to see
Speaker 5: you sing in season six better than the average Corey.
Speaker 5: You performed wind Beneath.
Speaker 4: My Wish and then Ben tis.
Speaker 5: Man, we got a taste of your beautiful voice. Do
Speaker 5: you have memories of prepping for that were you? Is
Speaker 5: it safe to see you were more excited for that
Speaker 5: week than Tankini?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean they made me pre record it though,
Speaker 7: which is so weird. Like I had to go record it,
Speaker 7: you know, the you know the person and I always
Speaker 7: just think about, like forgetting Sarah Marshall when he's in
Speaker 7: his house and he's like doing TV theme music that's
Speaker 7: aread like on the keyboard, Like I had to go
Speaker 7: to that person's house who did all the random keyboard
Speaker 7: music and.
Speaker 4: I have I cannot remember, but you guys do. That's
Speaker 4: why I have you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, ray this magical ray Man. I had to go
Speaker 7: to his home and record it. I think, I don't
Speaker 7: know why. I don't know if it's because they were
Speaker 7: what I think it's I think because I did have
Speaker 7: to lip synk it there so that they could dim
Speaker 7: the sound for dialogue happening, oh the song, because I
Speaker 7: am actively singing in the background of the scene, right,
Speaker 7: and so it's like I can't really be doing it
Speaker 7: because I'm far too loud for that to like I
Speaker 7: can't like I wouldn't.
Speaker 4: Be able to regulate that level.
Speaker 7: But then yeah, I just I remember never knowing exactly
Speaker 7: when Ben was gonna comment, like because he's so he's
Speaker 7: so unpredictable, and things things did start. I listened to
Speaker 7: your recap episode of See the season seven episode one
Speaker 7: where you guys were talking about him always pulling.
Speaker 4: Crap, and that all started to come back to me.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, yeah. They would be like the bell,
Speaker 4: the bell would ring.
Speaker 7: It would be silent, and he would go like whisper
Speaker 7: things in people's faces and like back up, and you're like.
Speaker 4: Oh God, now I'm off, what's going on.
Speaker 7: I don't think he ever did it to me, but
Speaker 7: I remember seeing it happened to all of you guys,
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, and just probably laughing. And then I was
Speaker 7: always chewing gum. I got in trouble for that, but
Speaker 7: like Michael Jacobs was constantly chewing gum, so I like,
Speaker 7: that's a real double standard.
Speaker 5: So like that always chewed gum.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, right, I mean I had to go spit
Speaker 4: it out. You had a hiding it. I guess we
Speaker 4: had to spend a disgusting gum wall.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was.
Speaker 7: There was the gum drawer exactly. There was the gum
Speaker 7: drawer and the we had all that gum in that.
Speaker 4: Drawer in the kitchen.
Speaker 5: It's like they put them, but they give us a
Speaker 5: drawer specifically for gum, and then they're like chewing gumb.
Speaker 7: But honestly, I will say, as an adult who had
Speaker 7: to get in vizil line this year for my TMJ
Speaker 7: problems chewing all that gum as a kid.
Speaker 4: Bad idea. Yeah, kids out there, stop chewing so much gum.
Speaker 4: It's bad for your jaw muscles.
Speaker 5: I told my child, we are not a gum family.
Speaker 5: He just he was like, can I have gum? Nope,
Speaker 5: We're not a gum family. He's like, what do you mean? Nope,
Speaker 5: we just don't chew gum in this family. It's just
Speaker 5: one of our family virtues.
Speaker 4: My husband has stopped me. I'll be in an airport
Speaker 4: and I'll be like, yo, there's a lot.
Speaker 7: Of gum at the airport. I have unlimited access, and
Speaker 7: I'm fas as I want.
Speaker 4: It's like, if you start down this road, because.
Speaker 5: You know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4: Only me. I'm really glad to know it's not just me. Truly.
Speaker 7: We can't buy them. I replace it with altoids. Is
Speaker 7: it better?
Speaker 4: No one knows I think it's actually worse. I'm unsure.
Speaker 5: Try the listenine strips, you just put them on your tongue. Terrible,
Speaker 5: Well they're not, They're great.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I don't like those.
Speaker 1: You're gonna find out something that's something bad to your
Speaker 1: tongue and like you're gonna hear eventually, you're gonna hear.
Speaker 3: Like if you took listenine strips between two thousand and twenty.
Speaker 5: All right, so I'm trying to make you all rich.
Speaker 5: Do you remember the final episode and what was your
Speaker 5: experience that final week of taping?
Speaker 4: You know, I remember the I don't.
Speaker 7: I don't remember anything about the final episode in my
Speaker 7: in my brain hole.
Speaker 4: I just like I can't.
Speaker 7: And I think because we weren't in the final scenes,
Speaker 7: like the family was not like that classroom, like that
Speaker 7: was all you guys like together we were. I mean
Speaker 7: I was there, I was physically present on set, but
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't remember that.
Speaker 7: I remember the brides maid Dress episode the most clearly
Speaker 7: out of all this.
Speaker 4: Scenes and.
Speaker 5: Gotten there yet, what would you say is your favorite
Speaker 5: episode from that you remember looking.
Speaker 4: Back from from my perspective filming them.
Speaker 5: Yes, and like just your Injenil your experience, Like, what's
Speaker 5: your favorite?
Speaker 4: I mean, I well, I love that They're Killing Us episode.
Speaker 4: I honestly, to me, it's one of the best. It's
Speaker 4: such a.
Speaker 7: Weird format that doesn't fit and it's but it's so awesome,
Speaker 7: like that documentary style of how they do the freeze
Speaker 7: frames after the end of each sea Like, I really
Speaker 7: liked the direction of that episode. Another one that I
Speaker 7: don't think I'm actually in at all is the one
Speaker 7: that's like the scream one, the horror episode. I do
Speaker 7: like watching that one, just it's entertaining. Jennifer love Feferman
Speaker 7: because I remember that.
Speaker 5: I remember the Bridesmaids Dress episode well too, And the
Speaker 5: thing I remember thinking is it was really nice to
Speaker 5: have you as a part of our girl group, like
Speaker 5: a just a you know, I mean that is what
Speaker 5: happens in weddings and.
Speaker 4: The same people, you know, the family thing. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: it was.
Speaker 5: Really nice that we to have you included in the
Speaker 5: wedding planning. It was fun and love I.
Speaker 4: Felt so short, I felt so next. It's just like, it.
Speaker 7: Doesn't matter what you do, there's no camera angle.
Speaker 4: That will get both of us in that shot at
Speaker 4: the same time.
Speaker 5: That's what time exist five or six inch honestly platform
Speaker 5: sandal flipping.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I can't remember if they put me in anything,
Speaker 7: but like my dress was specifically constructed to be removed
Speaker 7: in that fast fashion because I had to just like
Speaker 7: tear it off. They had like a better deal, like
Speaker 7: there's fit them better. Okay, I just I remember walking
Speaker 7: out in it and thinking, this belcrow rig.
Speaker 4: In the back is going to come down and I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna be to stop.
Speaker 7: It has to come at a certain time and the
Speaker 7: time is going to be wrong. And then like the
Speaker 7: the little umbrella thing, it got stuck and like I had.
Speaker 1: Always have that's one of our favorite favorite outtakes we have.
Speaker 1: We actually have that of you, you know, like stuck
Speaker 1: and Daniels gets stuck and then she trips over a bag.
Speaker 5: That was a big episode was.
Speaker 4: Walkers like and you're just thinking, like these poor wardrobe
Speaker 4: props people, They're like, stop screwing up.
Speaker 7: Aren't like hand crafted items that we made for this thing?
Speaker 4: You know? Yeah, So I remember that episode more.
Speaker 5: But knowing what a beautiful voice you have and how
Speaker 5: performative you are, did you ever think about doing Broadway?
Speaker 5: You would have been perfect on Broadway.
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's a stressful lifestyle. I'll say that,
Speaker 4: you know, coming from I did theater as a kid.
Speaker 7: Probably the biggest uh When I was eight, I was
Speaker 7: in Ruthless on the West Coast premiere here, which is
Speaker 7: a huge show.
Speaker 4: They still do it many places now, and I mean, like,
Speaker 4: and I work it.
Speaker 7: I work in the theater industry now, just not as
Speaker 7: a performer.
Speaker 4: Right, So I see it.
Speaker 7: You know, it's it's difficult to maintain for a long time.
Speaker 7: These people that can do it for so many years, Like,
Speaker 7: hats off to them. It's it's definitely something. Yeah, Like
Speaker 7: I probably could have pivoted that way. My plan after
Speaker 7: the end of this series and going into school was
Speaker 7: to go to law school.
Speaker 4: I wanted to be, you know, a trial attorney. That
Speaker 4: was my dream. Talk in front of a courtroom, Y
Speaker 4: got it.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you've got the actor in you. I
Speaker 3: mean that's what it takes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean truly. But then I worked for
Speaker 4: a lot of lawyers just to.
Speaker 7: Like get the vibe, and I was like, oh, this
Speaker 7: is real stressful. And you know, will I know you
Speaker 7: said you have ans that I have had panic attacks
Speaker 7: yearly since the age of probably sixteen or something. My
Speaker 7: most recent one is about five days ago.
Speaker 4: So there you go.
Speaker 7: I have to hide them from my kid, which really sucks,
Speaker 7: like I don't want her to like see them.
Speaker 4: So I definitely feel that.
Speaker 7: I I think that the industry itself, and not to
Speaker 7: say that it's like that now or it's like that
Speaker 7: for everybody, but for me as an individual, just the
Speaker 7: performing aspect can get very overwhelming and very stressful, and
Speaker 7: so I think, you know, to have the awareness to
Speaker 7: to say, like.
Speaker 4: I love this.
Speaker 7: I have appreciated the involvement that I've been able to
Speaker 7: have to the extent that I have, and I can
Speaker 7: be happy with that. I can know that I have
Speaker 7: so many different unique experiences in my life that have
Speaker 7: all brought me to be, you know, the best mom
Speaker 7: now and guide her that I can be for my
Speaker 7: kid who's going to be navigating those same things in
Speaker 7: her life and those choices that that's kind of where
Speaker 7: I where I like that, that's where I like to sit,
Speaker 7: That's where I like to maintain, you know, being being
Speaker 7: aware of how it could have affected me in a
Speaker 7: negative way to continue I think was it was a
Speaker 7: really big choice. It was a big decision for me.
Speaker 7: I know, I still hear that. I still hear that
Speaker 7: from my friends, still hear it from from my fan like, but.
Speaker 4: What about this, and what if this happened. I'm like, this,
Speaker 4: it could have.
Speaker 7: But I also, you know, but I also know how
Speaker 7: important it is to be in tune with what you
Speaker 7: can do and what you can give as your own person.
Speaker 7: So you know, it's I mean, I still see occasionally
Speaker 7: I do it, you know, for I get to do
Speaker 7: things for actual enjoyment and instead of like having the
Speaker 7: pressure of having it be a job, if that makes sense,
Speaker 7: So you know, and.
Speaker 4: Even even things like this like talking to you guys
Speaker 4: you know, like I have, I don't.
Speaker 7: I it's it's fun, Like it's a fun thing, you know,
Speaker 7: Like I'm like, oh, yeah, we can talk about this
Speaker 7: and then I don't have to go back to the
Speaker 7: pressure off like still doing that and having to you know,
Speaker 7: maintain a sense of self through that.
Speaker 4: So yeah, so it's hard. But I know, in high.
Speaker 7: School, like I said, I threw myself into mock trial,
Speaker 7: for sure, but that was fun.
Speaker 4: But that's a fake trial, which is.
Speaker 3: Why exactly exactly, no pressure.
Speaker 7: Mock no pressure. I have my mock trial medal somewhere
Speaker 7: back here.
Speaker 4: I keep them in a frame because I'm like.
Speaker 5: I love that I mentioned this in your intro. But
Speaker 5: when we went out on the road with our live tour,
Speaker 5: so many of the questions in our Q and A
Speaker 5: involve you, and I just wanted to thank you, oh
Speaker 5: my gosh, for being such an important part of the
Speaker 5: Boy meets World legacy and the Boy Meets World lore.
Speaker 5: We are so honored that you joined us again and
Speaker 5: to recap this Tankiny Week and others of your life.
Speaker 4: Are you guys going to celebrate Tankini Week?
Speaker 5: We are immediate.
Speaker 2: I'm going to rip up in my shirt right now
Speaker 2: and have an I.
Speaker 4: Feel like you need, you need custom tankinies.
Speaker 3: I'm playing definitely.
Speaker 5: Lindsey, thank you so much for being here with us.
Speaker 5: It's always so great to see you.
Speaker 4: Thank you, guys, It's awesome to see you all too.
Speaker 4: Bye bye, guys.
Speaker 5: Man. I was even thinking while she was talking about
Speaker 5: the tankinie stuff, and we were talking about how there
Speaker 5: are more advocates now for kids and kids feeling like
Speaker 5: they have more of a voice hopefully. How interesting it
Speaker 5: is that I don't think I have worked with a
Speaker 5: single wardrobe stylist who wouldn't be saying to the person
Speaker 5: they were fitting, especially if they were kids, are you
Speaker 5: comfortable in this? And not any single wardrobe stylist I've
Speaker 5: worked with on a show in the last ten years
Speaker 5: would have said, if you're not comfortable in something, I'm
Speaker 5: not even gonna send it. I'm not even going to
Speaker 5: give it to them as an option. So let's find
Speaker 5: let's keep finding things until you say, yes, I'm comfortable
Speaker 5: in this, and I'll only take pictures and send them
Speaker 5: options once i know you're comfortable, right, And so it's
Speaker 5: just so interesting that it's like everyone back then had
Speaker 5: the feeling of like, you get a script, what it
Speaker 5: says in the script, you make come to life, and
Speaker 5: you do not express your opinion about it at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You also, we've talked about this a bunch of times.
Speaker 1: You just until you become an adult, you assume the
Speaker 1: adults all know what they're doing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's not.
Speaker 3: Till you're older that you realize nobody has a clue.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So you are a kid and these are adults, and
Speaker 1: they know what's best for you.
Speaker 3: And this is a job, and especially.
Speaker 6: When it came to wardrobe, right, yes, kind of like okay,
Speaker 6: course they know better than me.
Speaker 2: Just trust me as you need me.
Speaker 6: And it's like such a weird approach, like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean because making a decision about your wardrobe is
Speaker 6: a is a great character Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know that you get to decide as an actor,
Speaker 2: like what are you comfortable in? What do you want
Speaker 2: to act and what does it you know? And then
Speaker 2: how does that help you or you know, hinder you
Speaker 2: and what you know? You got to work that out.
Speaker 1: I think we would have thought, even back in the day,
Speaker 1: we would have been like, oh my god, just put on
Speaker 1: your wardrobe and shut up, as opposed to like I
Speaker 1: really want to talk about the pants. I really want
Speaker 1: to talk about the would have really come on. But
Speaker 1: that is what you should do, exactly what you're supposed
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the fact that I didn't express any of
Speaker 5: those things, or if I did, it was met with
Speaker 5: like okay, well who cares? You have to do it
Speaker 5: anyway is exactly why I was so checked out the season.
Speaker 5: It's exactly why I was just like, oh, I'm just
Speaker 5: not I'm not into it anymore.
Speaker 6: And it's crazy to me that I also did it
Speaker 6: even for like photo shoots, Like that's like when I
Speaker 6: look back at like all those teen beat things, I
Speaker 6: would just show up and they would have clothes you
Speaker 6: put me in, Like I'm never wearing my own clothes,
Speaker 6: and which is weird because they were a photo shoot
Speaker 6: that's supposed to be like us rider at home or
Speaker 6: writer hanging out.
Speaker 5: The watch a better version of exactly.
Speaker 6: I was always so insecure, like you know, it felt
Speaker 6: like a bad celebrity because it's like, but just guess what, writer,
Speaker 6: You could just show up say this is what I'm wearing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, take it or leave it, and they could leave it,
Speaker 2: like you know, it would have been fine.
Speaker 1: But that's why social media and social media stars nowadays
Speaker 1: are so it's so different because you know, you say
Speaker 1: what you want about it.
Speaker 3: But usually it's them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like these are the clothes I've put on.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all still manufactured, but it's manufactured by you,
Speaker 1: so it's you know, at least you have some agency
Speaker 1: over everything you're doing. Where we didn't they throw us in.
Speaker 1: It wasn't even a room most of the time. It
Speaker 1: was a plywood four by four whatever thing with a
Speaker 1: fake curtain. That you'd put over your clothes would be
Speaker 1: hanging on the thing, and you go, I guess that's
Speaker 1: what I'm wearing.
Speaker 5: Yep, it was it.
Speaker 3: Yeah crazy.
