That you know we love to 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.080 do is get to talk to writers and and people 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.480 who have been in this business forever and ask them 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.120 like how they started, because obviously when we were kids 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.560 working on the show, like you know, we weren't sitting around. 0:02:58.320 --> 0:02:59.799 Like, so, how did you get started in a bid? 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:00.680 Uh? 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.400 But it's fascinating and we worked with so many like 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.320 amazing people in this industry. So from the very beginning, 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.200 what was your what what made you want to get 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.480 into this business or what was your first job? How 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:13.960 did how did this all come about for you? 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.360 Well, it started Dennis Rinseler, who was you know, you 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:24.320 know we were We met in college and we bonded 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:30.960 over bad women's prison movies. So we just started laughing 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:35.040 about that stuff. And then we both became teachers to 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.680 get out of the draft that was like the Vietnam War, 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:42.480 and if you taught in a disadvantage neighborhood, you got 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.640 a draft department. So Dennis would teach in the Bronx 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.119 and I was teaching in Brooklyn, and we would call 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.880 each other up at the end of the day, what 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.839 happened in your school? What happened? And it was these 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:57.480 crazy stories of you know, like stoned out, draft dodger teachers. 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.480 Not not necessarily, but we might have fit a little. 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.360 And we were just, you know, laugh about those things. 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.520 And then at one point we another friend of ours 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.840 who would become a magazine editor, said, you know, you 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.160 guys have such great stories, why didn't you wanted't you 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.279 write some stuff from my magazine, which was it was 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.719 actually a like a High Times type magazine called Rush. 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:27.640 It was High Times competitor, and at the time I 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:33.400 was a drug prevention coordinator, which was very ironic also 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.800 at the time, but I would I was supposed to 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.960 teach kids about the dangers of drugs, but what I 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.600 did more was like I wrote plays and sketches and 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.440 things for them. So that's how I kind of got 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.200 into into the writing part of it. And then Dennis 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.880 and I did a parody of the really bad drug 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.919 prevention materials that they would send us, like the OS 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.240 Day don't you Drugs? Like, you know, the kids are 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.880 really going to listen to the Osmonds right right, And 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.080 our friend published it and that got a little bit 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.840 of attention, and then we said, oh, this writing thing 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.960 is it's kind of fun. So we submitted a couple 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:18.400 of things to National Lampoon, which they accepted. So now 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.440 it's like, well, this is more than fun, this could 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.160 really be something. So we got together when we wrote 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.920 a screenplay about crazy teachers in these in these urban schools, right, 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.280 and we wrote it with this third guy who was 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.599 the magazine guy, and he came out to Hollywood. He 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.480 rented a red Cadillac. He printed it was called chalk 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.360 and he printed it on like a black it looked 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.039 like a blackboard, and he told up the catalog and 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.080 he gave it out to producers all over Hollywood and 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.800 somebody optioned it for thirty thousand dollars. 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:53.839 Oh my god. 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.640 We were teachers, you know, and our friend called and said, 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:03.320 I sold it, got made. He said, but I told 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.760 it what do you want to do and said, we're 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.920 you know, that's it. We're coming out. So it took 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.200 about another year to get everything together. We had to 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:16.599 quit our jobs and convince our wives, you know, take 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:21.440 this huge risk, and we drove out, you know, like 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.479 in our in our cars. We packed our cars up. 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.039 My son was four years old at the time. We 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.800 put on the Muppet tape for like, you know, yes 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:34.040 Revolutions of it, and we came out here and we 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.919 went up to our agent who had said, what do 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:38.520 you guys need, I'll get your jobs. You can be 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.200 on a sitcom. And he was literally quitting that day. 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.839 He was walking out with a box of his stock, 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:45.159 and we're like, you're. 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.200 Like, glad we caught you. 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.960 Yeah, really, you promised us jobs. This business is screwed, 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.240 forget it. It stinks. So we're like, we moved out here. 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.599 We're stuck. We have our families. Dan has had a son, 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.240 I had a son, and we just had to start 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.640 to hustle. And they gave us a new agent at 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.040 this was CIA Okay, gave us a guy out of 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.679 the mail room named Rob Rothman who read our stuff 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.560 and believed in us and sent it out to He 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.880 would get down on his knees and beg people to 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.480 give us jobs. Right, We wound up on a show. Well, 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.520 the first show he did was a reality show for 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:24.320 Scott Baio, which didn't go anywhere. My favorite, our first 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.400 writing job, who was a guest on Full House. 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.680 Yeah, we reviewed, we went over that episode. It was a. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:32.480 Thing. 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.000 And then we got a job on the show called 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.520 Madam's Place, which was a early eighties. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.040 Wait, was it Madam the puppet Madam? 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:52.040 Yes, okay, Madam scared of me as a kid, Madam. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.800 I remember watching it on whatever show. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:08:00.040 It was probably what was Matt Hollywood Squares or Solid. 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.160 Goal, solid Gold. It was solid Gold and. 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.960 Madam would come on and I don't know why, but 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:09.440 Madam scared the crap at it. Well, now it's hilarious, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.160 but at the time it was something about it. I 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:12.200 did Madam freak me out. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.320 Well, this was a crazy show because you only saw Madam. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.200 You didn't see Whalen. Madam lived in a mansion and 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.120 had her own talk show, and she had a staff 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:27.480 of servants in the house right wrapped with It was 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.040 a daily sitcom. They shot it like a soap opera 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:37.080 show a day. We had eighteen writers and we'd work 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.800 in shifts to churn out these scripts. And the poor 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.480 guy's arm, Whalen was he was on a dolly holding 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:45.400 up his arm that. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.280 Had right his arm at the right He's got no 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:49.880 circulation in his hand yet. 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.199 Bob Sagett was on the show because part of the 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.280 show is a talk show. Bob was on the show. 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.760 Saw Me Dice was on the show. You know, had 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.920 to phill fill out this time, and we did seventy 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.920 five episode, so it's in like four months. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:07.720 Oh wow. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.760 There was a crash course in sitcom writing and writing 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.040 and the writer's room. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:13.880 Right. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.920 There were guys on it from radio, you know, like 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.440 from the Jack Benny Show, and then there were young 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.760 guys like us who really hadn't done anything or you know, 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.960 people who had worked on you know, Laverne and Shirley 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.880 things like that. So we learned so much from from 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.480 that experience and that kind of part us on our way. 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.880 Wow, that's so cool. That's I mean, that's I had 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:36.720 no idea. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.000 But so so from there we we kind of wound 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:45.560 up at Universal with Amy Heckerling and this guy Alan Rucker. Yeah. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:45.960 Yeah. 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.360 We did a show called Fast Times, which is Fast 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:54.319 Times at Richemont High TV version.

We had an office 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.200 we had a secretary we could I mean, it was ridiculous. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.920 And we're working on a Joe Piscopol pilot and I 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.439 don't know if you know who Joe, Yeah, yeah, from 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.880 you know SNL days.

We have that kind 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:30.600 of endorsement to Jeff. So when the strike was over, 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.679 they hired us as producers on the show. We spent 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.000 seven years there, and then five more years that Warner 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.640 Brothers doing shows there, and then like it's like eighteen 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.800 years at Disney Channel. Oh wow, so it's yeah, it's 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:48.120 been fun. 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.880 So all it started as making fun of things and 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.120 now and now you've been in the business forever. 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:59.199 It was really an excuse to get stoned with Dennis. 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.079 I'd most kind of good writing careers start, I feel 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.760 like is Yeah, it was just. 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.480 An excuse to smoke Pott and then here I am 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.600 running a shot. It is right now. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.480 The first episode that you produced was season two, right, 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.440 Season two, episode two, Tanner Versus Gibbler. 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.560 Well, we were on season two, right. We came on 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.079 after after the writers strike and that and full House. 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.920 You know, you guys who were kind of shaking the 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:29.240 first season. Yeah, because there wasn't much TV, there wasn't 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.280 much inventory, they started running it a lot and then 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.840 it got this wave of popularity. So season two we 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.560 came on and you already had a little bit of 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:40.360 a of a toe hold. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:40.640 Yeah. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.720 Yeah, and then we needed to work out some kinks 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.160 from the Sea Crews episode where it was like the 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.760 Bachelor pad on water, Like, yeah, we needed the full 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:52.600 house needed to find its footing, and I think by 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.319 season two they finally realized it's a family show, not 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:56.160 a bat I. 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.360 Think part of what Yeah, Dennis and I brought was 0:12:58.400 --> 0:12:59.360 we were parents. 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:01.520 Yeah, yeah, I think. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.080 The first season, I don't know if anyone was a 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.319 parent on that on the writing staff that I. 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:11.720 Could probably yeah. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.400 Maybe Kim Weiskough maybe, I think had a little daughter. 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.440 Exc had a daughter about the age of them, Yeah, 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.880 but you know, other than that, but I had two kids, Dennis, 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.640 Dennis had a son, and we started pitching more of 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:25.000 the of the parenting stories. I think that helped maybe 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.000 make the shift a little bit into. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.760 It for sure, well, because it became about this. You know. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.960 One thing that Full House always, we say, always did 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:37.520 really well was that the storylines weren't just about the 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.760 kids or just about the parents. It was about how 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.920 something affected everyone in the house. Usually it was it 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.920 was the whole family was involved in whatever was needing 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:51.680 to be solved, right, And that was I was always 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.040 really proud of that for the show, because so many 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:56.560 kids just kind of got you know, they were like, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.120 we'll just include them later when we need something. But 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:03.480 it was very much a part of Full house and storylines, you. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:07.000 Know, complately, and it was finding that balance between the 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.800 adult stories and the kids stories and kid adult stories. 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.040 And then we would almost make flow charts up. Well 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.000 let's see, you know, we have a Stephanie Danny story. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.800 We need a Joey Michelle's story. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:19.920 Different combinations. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:25.160 Yeah, to make sure everybody was kind of covered in 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:29.960 the storylines, and we also had to give everybody and 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.320 the show is very difficult to write. People don't realize 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.960 how hard it was to write, because we really tried 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:41.360 to weave at least a runner through an arc for 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.200 every character and intersect them, you know, and dovetail them 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.440 throughout the episode. And it was it was challenging. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.240 Yeah, yeah, especially when we got to like nineteen hundred 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:51.760 guest members. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.680 There was a lot of storylines and people, you know, they. 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.320 We love writing Kimmy. We love writing Kimmy. 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.120 Kimmy was so great. I mean, that was such a 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.200 great character to write for. 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.520 We oh man, she's great. I got a joy. I 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:11.080 was going to say that. 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.880 We recently recapped season three, episode nineteen, which was Those 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.240 Better Not Be the Days, which is where we do 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:18.520 the flash forward. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.480 Oh right, yeah, where the three guys or old men. Yeah, 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.040 a Laurie was the old lady. What was what was 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.440 that like writing that show? Do you remember? I mean, 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.560 were they just ridiculous the whole time? 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.280 Specifically other than you know, at some point in the 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.520 season you try to be like their flashbacks. We did 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:42.000 a couple of flashback episodes and then somebody in the 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.120 writers who play sad, why don't do a flash forward 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.160 and have some fun. Put the guys in old age 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.040 makeup and you know, hire and see what the girls 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.160 would look like. I believe Dave met one of his 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:53.080 wives on that. 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:55.320 Yeah Jane, Yeah. 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:59.360 Jane, Jane, who did look exactly like? 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:00.640 Yeah, exactly. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.040 Yeah. Yeah, it was an episode I think. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:08.320 Yeah, it looked like the actors were having a lot 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:08.680 of fun. 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.160 Yeah, they just we're having a blast. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.040 Especially the guys, because you know, when you were kids, 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.720 you guys never complained. I mean, you were total pros. 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:18.560 But the guys, you know, every once in a while, 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.080 your bitch and Bob Bob used to say, what's my line? 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:27.280 I walk into every room and I say, what's going on? So, yeah, 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.840 we did it. So we you know, we we try 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.000 to make sure everybody had at least a little something 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.840 to play in every episode, and this was really fun 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:36.240 for them. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:37.520 Yeah, this one they had. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.640 All we could think about was that they must have 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.600 how do they get through a scene being the little 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.400 old men, because we know they could They couldn't make 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.320 it through a scene just doing a normal scene, let 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.080 alone drest and make being ridiculous. 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.680 And I think they played it all as like old Jewish. 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.280 They were all right, they were all yeah. It was 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.280 like they all became life. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.240 They all became a little old Jewish men in the day. 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.200 I was like, oh, they became different people. But it 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.160 was great, right, well, I think, but you know what, though, 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.600 as you age that actually does happen, you start going 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:08.480 why why? 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.960 Yeah, they stand up, that's true. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:16.440 Happens. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.800 Well that I mean that dream sequence was considerably better 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.760 than the one we did a few episodes before. 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.000 Was it, Oh bye bye Bertie. 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:30.760 Oh Michelle dreams that the adults are like. 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.240 Understand that dream It was. 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.639 Like she was giant and then the and then the 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:36.800 adults were all little. 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.080 It was terrified always. 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.840 Did later on, which I what was funny. But people 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.800 didn't like when Michelle dreamt that she had giant feet. 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.760 Oh yeah, that's terrib I don't remember that that was, Yes. 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.280 Yeah, she somebody mentioned somebody teases her in school and 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.240 says that she has big feet, and then she goes 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.800 to sleep and she has these gigantic feet in the 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.680 keep growing. I think eventually they explode and like. 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.760 Very Alice in Wonderland growing out of the House sort 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:05.919 of like. 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.440 I love those kind of shows, but I don't know 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.080 if the fans of that one. 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.560 Yeah, you know what their hit or miss. 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.400 Sometimes sometimes you want you're like, oh, this was funny, 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.120 and sometimes you're like, well, this. 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:19.639 Is the eighties and nineties when we were doing some 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:20.600 things where. 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:28.520 Yeah, so what were some of your favorite episodes that 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.840 you wrote or not, Like, just what are some episodes 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:33.400 that stand out in your mind writing? 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.399 What I think what people don't realize on most shows 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.959 is at least on Full House and most of these 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:43.800 shows we've done, is that they're almost a little group written. Yeah, 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.359 so when you ask a writer like what was your 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.480 favorite episode, that you're right, there's a good chance you 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:52.239 didn't write a single word of that episode, and it 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.919 was It's very collaborative and a very fun process. But 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:01.560 in terms of I liked I like the Dinis, remember 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.919 the Dinosaur episode when when Michelle was on a school 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.119 trip and all the bones kind of. 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.680 Right, Yeah, that was. 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:17.119 Fun, I think production wise to figure it was always 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.199 fun when when Dennis and I became the showrunners, like 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.560 figuring out that production stuff was really fun and really 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.880 challenging and what what are production?

We did a few things as 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.440 the season It's got later too, I think we got 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:48.240 a little more into really going yeah. 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.280 Well they wanted, you know, the budget got bigger, and 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.240 especially Tom and Bob or I go for it, go 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.399 on a trip, you know, go So so that was 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.760 fun for me. That my favorite episodes I think where 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:04.560 the celebrity was and they weren't necessarily the greatest episodes, 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.840 but I got a chance to meet so many of 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:13.000 my heroes or people that I had admired, and in 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:22.080 some cases it was like the little Richard one was crazy. Yeah, 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.040 that was so much fun, Like the energy he brought 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:27.800 to the standard. If you remember he was ending out 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:30.400 religious pamphlets and singing and screaming. 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:34.240 Yeah he was really, yeah he was. 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.439 He was everything the little Richard should be. 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.200 Yeah, he talked to he's telling a story, you know, 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.919 and he's he's like a preacher, right, telling the stories 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:48.040
