What am I thinking? 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:13.600 I watched it first? 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:18.360 Rickmeister? Yeah, yeah, that's it. 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:19.160 Yep, you got it. 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.240 When I first of all, Christine and I loved having 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.199 both of you on our show. It was so much funk. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.440 And when I rewatched that scene, my first thought was 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:36.399 how how comedically naturally talented Jodie was at such a 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.840 young age in front of an audience, in front of 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:41.920 you know, millions of people. She was just like, you 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.520 were just I don't know you had that thing. It 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:46.720 was so funny. 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.960 She was on a roll with her you know. Yeah, yeah, 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.240 a moment for me. Yeah, Oh it was great. It 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.520 was hysterical. Yeah. I knew you were on an episode 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.560 of Full House, but I didn't remember which one, and 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:00.680 I didn't remember that I was. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.480 In it, and they were like, wait, I wasn't he 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:02.960 on more? 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.080 Yeah, that's why I was like, I'm confused. 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.760 Every actor in the war world must have come through 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:10.840 Full House at some times. 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.120 I think so. I think so we killed a few careers, 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:15.880 we launched a few others. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.160 I think you were just the jumping off point for 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:18.560 a problem. 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:19.560 You know, you'd be. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.880 Surprised at how many people did an episode of our 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:28.080 show and they never worked again. Oh no, really, they 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:29.960 were like, I can't do this anymore. No, I had 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.520 nothing to do with our show. I'm sure, but but yeah, 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.120 there were a lot of things about damn we killed 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:34.840 their career too. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.440 They just didn't work any It was intimidating. I remember 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.519 one of my early jobs. Yeah, there was a lot 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.200 of star power on that show. 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.480 Oh and we both of us agree that you should 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.200 have been brought back as DJ's boyfriend, not just a 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:55.400 crush like you you're such the quintessential perfect boyfriend. Oh 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.400 my gosh, Like that's who you played for? 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.520 How was Yeah? I was wi friend to a lot 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.200 of powerful leading women. But you know what, Candice and 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.880 I ended up doing a movie together in Vancouver years 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:13.160 later where she yeah, we did play Uh, I don't know, 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.240 not boyfriend girlfriend, but I think she had a crush 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:20.400 on me. We did a movie. It was called Kids 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:21.040 in the Wood. 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:22.560 Oh. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.519 I thought you were gonna say Camp Cucamonga because I 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.120 remember that one too. That was like, yeah, everybody was 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:27.880 in that movie too. 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:33.040 This was the Wood, just one wood, kids with a Z. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.720 It was like a play on Boys in the Hood. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.760 It was kids and kids in the Hood. 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:44.680 It was like it was every young actor who was 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:49.320 on TGIF. It was like Candace and Darius McCrary and 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:54.000 Tatian Ali and Alfonso Robero and me.

But Andrea here Aby 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.560 was in an incredibly. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:29.080 Well known movie.

And you know, we did reconnect 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.160 on some of these reunions and we became friends again, 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.880 but not really you know, like close. So when we 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.280 did the podcast, a lot one of the great things 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.800 about it is that we've become really best friends again 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.960 and and we look back on that time like we 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.040 were young and kind of stupid, but yeah, it's so 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.320 nice to have this time in our lives again together, 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:50.160 to like reconnect and be friends again and work together. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:54.360 I love that's didn't I didn't realize that about sort 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.240 of the Year Guys' podcast. 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.840 I mean, I seem to remember that there's that. 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:00.840 You guys had like were kind of back in the day, 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.960 but like, yeah, I didn't realize it was sort of 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.960 that that big thing. But God, isn't it nice to 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.840 get to the age where you can look back and 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.000 just be like, God, I was an idiot, you were 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.360 an idiot.

So yeah, we were we 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:20.160 were all a part of the last like sit down 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:24.159 and watch a show when it comes on or you 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.160 miss it live with commercials kind of thing. Yeah. 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.879 Yeah, and people don't watch shows collectively anymore. Like you 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:32.879 don't sit down for appointment TV. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:37.320 Now, we're all like the Game of Thrones of it 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.359 in the beginning and stuff like that. I feel like 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:43.640 we're not even there where everyone's watching like an episode 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:44.480 of something. You know. 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.840 No, the last shows I remember waiting for them to 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:53.199 come out were sopranos. Remember on Sunday Night? Oh yeah, right, 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:54.879 but always put a new soprano. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.919 HBO Sunday Nights were ye for years. 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.159 Yeah, yeah, that's the last time I remember waiting for 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:06.560 a show. But yeah, audiences are so fractured there. Everyone's 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:10.200 watching their own things. But there is there's still great 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:11.000 work being done. 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:12.239 There is, there really is. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.920 And I think sitcoms, I think sitcoms have legs. I 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:19.000 think people like it.

That they're like certain kinds of content 0:18:54.480 --> 0:19:00.239 that is made for people to have on while they 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.560 are also scrolling on an iPad or their phone. 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:03.760 And I forget what the name. 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.639 Of it is, but it's something like, yeah, it's like 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.199 multi screen friendly or so, you know, but it's basically 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.000 they know that we're all sitting there, you know, Love 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.480 islands on and everyone's rolling through Instagram, you know what 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:15.720 I mean? 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.480 Like that people need that too, People need that too. 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:23.080 Yeah, yeah, but anyway, yeah, so that's uh.
