Speaker 1: Hey there, Fanarritos, and welcome back to How Rude tan Ritos.
Speaker 1: Today we have a guest that you know and love
Speaker 1: from the nineties, whether it be from Sabrina the Teenage Witch,
Speaker 1: Hey Dude, or the one Full House episode he appeared
Speaker 1: on as the Rickmeister. We are so excited to welcome
Speaker 1: David Lasher to the podcast today.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 3: Thank you guys.
Speaker 1: This was so much fun.
Speaker 4: I wasn't in the scene with you guys when you
Speaker 4: were on it, and so I, to be fair, almost
Speaker 4: completely forgot that you were in the episode.
Speaker 3: Wait a second, you were in the scene.
Speaker 1: Was I in the scene?
Speaker 2: Ricks yours? Here's the thing. I'm gonna go see.
Speaker 4: Myself out right now, because I am I can't remember
Speaker 4: my own name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, No, that's right. What am I thinking?
Speaker 3: I watched it first?
Speaker 2: Rickmeister? Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: Yep, you got it.
Speaker 3: When I first of all, Christine and I loved having
Speaker 3: both of you on our show. It was so much funk.
Speaker 3: And when I rewatched that scene, my first thought was
Speaker 3: how how comedically naturally talented Jodie was at such a
Speaker 3: young age in front of an audience, in front of
Speaker 3: you know, millions of people. She was just like, you
Speaker 3: were just I don't know you had that thing. It
Speaker 3: was so funny.
Speaker 1: She was on a roll with her you know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a moment for me. Yeah, Oh it was great. It
Speaker 1: was hysterical. Yeah. I knew you were on an episode
Speaker 1: of Full House, but I didn't remember which one, and
Speaker 1: I didn't remember that I was.
Speaker 2: In it, and they were like, wait, I wasn't he
Speaker 2: on more?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I was like, I'm confused.
Speaker 3: Every actor in the war world must have come through
Speaker 3: Full House at some times.
Speaker 1: I think so. I think so we killed a few careers,
Speaker 1: we launched a few others.
Speaker 3: I think you were just the jumping off point for
Speaker 3: a problem.
Speaker 1: You know, you'd be.
Speaker 4: Surprised at how many people did an episode of our
Speaker 4: show and they never worked again. Oh no, really, they
Speaker 4: were like, I can't do this anymore. No, I had
Speaker 4: nothing to do with our show. I'm sure, but but yeah,
Speaker 4: there were a lot of things about damn we killed
Speaker 4: their career too.
Speaker 3: They just didn't work any It was intimidating. I remember
Speaker 3: one of my early jobs. Yeah, there was a lot
Speaker 3: of star power on that show.
Speaker 1: Oh and we both of us agree that you should
Speaker 1: have been brought back as DJ's boyfriend, not just a
Speaker 1: crush like you you're such the quintessential perfect boyfriend. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, Like that's who you played for?
Speaker 3: How was Yeah? I was wi friend to a lot
Speaker 3: of powerful leading women. But you know what, Candice and
Speaker 3: I ended up doing a movie together in Vancouver years
Speaker 3: later where she yeah, we did play Uh, I don't know,
Speaker 3: not boyfriend girlfriend, but I think she had a crush
Speaker 3: on me. We did a movie. It was called Kids
Speaker 3: in the Wood.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna say Camp Cucamonga because I
Speaker 4: remember that one too. That was like, yeah, everybody was
Speaker 4: in that movie too.
Speaker 1: This was the Wood, just one wood, kids with a Z.
Speaker 3: It was like a play on Boys in the Hood.
Speaker 2: It was kids and kids in the Hood.
Speaker 3: It was like it was every young actor who was
Speaker 3: on TGIF. It was like Candace and Darius McCrary and
Speaker 3: Tatian Ali and Alfonso Robero and me. It was like
Speaker 3: like almost like stunt casting.
Speaker 1: Wow, how fun did.
Speaker 4: You like was that? How old were you when you
Speaker 4: guys shot that one?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Man, I don't know. I think I was probably still
Speaker 3: on Blossom on the Summer break and and and Candice
Speaker 3: was definitely still on Full House, where again it was
Speaker 3: a long time ago, but yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 4: We might have to look up Kids in the Wood
Speaker 4: and uh do you know this? But Andrea here Aby
Speaker 4: was in an incredibly.
Speaker 1: Well known movie. Uh SKay kid too, you've probably heard
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 3: It's oh, that's the top of my list. Kates Skateboard
Speaker 3: Kid too.
Speaker 1: Skateboard Kid Too. Write way better than the first. It's
Speaker 1: nothing to do with number one. It has this is Yes,
Speaker 1: there's a dog on the cover. There's no dog in
Speaker 1: the movie. Like, there's so many things wrong. It's this movie.
Speaker 1: So I feel like Kids Low in nineties similar movies
Speaker 1: that make.
Speaker 3: Those seriously the jobs.
Speaker 2: But you were so you were saying it was intimidating.
Speaker 4: Do you remember auditioning for the show at all, Like,
Speaker 4: do you remember what that process was like or does
Speaker 4: it blur in.
Speaker 1: With all the other auditions.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it was one of those Building one
Speaker 3: forty at Warner Brothers, you know that famous Yeah, it
Speaker 3: was like a meeting spot for all the actors your age,
Speaker 3: you know that you go up against and who is
Speaker 3: it Barbara Miller or someone was like the head of
Speaker 3: Warner Brothers. But you know, I ended up doing a
Speaker 3: bunch of those Warner Brothers shows like during those years.
Speaker 3: But I don't remember that audition specifically, but I remember
Speaker 3: being on Debt and you know, John Stamos, Bob was
Speaker 3: as big a TV star as you got at the time, right,
Speaker 3: he was on the funniest videos and the kids, I remember,
Speaker 3: you guys were really shuffled in and now, like to school,
Speaker 3: and I just just wanted to do my job and
Speaker 3: not you know, mess up.
Speaker 1: Well you did an excellent job.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have good memories.
Speaker 4: How were you when you started acting? Were you like
Speaker 4: little little or were you.
Speaker 3: I was like freshman year of high school. I was
Speaker 3: doing theater in New York, and then I got signed
Speaker 3: by an agency and I did a lot of commercials.
Speaker 3: I would run around Manhattan after high school commercial auditions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just seventeen in a day.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah, But I loved it. It was like
Speaker 3: freedom for me, you know, taking the train into the city.
Speaker 3: I'd meet up with my actor friends and then you know,
Speaker 3: the next morning, I was just you know, going to school.
Speaker 3: It was a good balance. But then like sophomore year,
Speaker 3: I got a TV pilot for NBC and then junior
Speaker 3: year I got the Nickelodeon show Hey Dude, and I
Speaker 3: moved to Tucson and so that was really show I love. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that show has like a very loyal fan base. But
Speaker 3: you had to be like the right eight.
Speaker 4: You had to like it had to be nick at Night,
Speaker 4: like the you know what I mean, like that sort
Speaker 4: of era of Hey Dude, salute your shorts?
Speaker 3: Right? You know, you either for the dark or you
Speaker 3: have no idea.
Speaker 1: What it is right right, you're like or what?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, what's Hey Dude?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No great?

Speaker 4: watch it and tease you for it?
Speaker 3: My kids? Yeah, my oldest daughter said that, yes she
Speaker 3: did watch it. It's on Paramount Plus. Okay, yeah, I
Speaker 3: think where like all my stuff lives on one of
Speaker 3: these streamers, but I don't. Uh, we do like Reunion
Speaker 3: sometimes we did Austin TV Festival Nickelodeon thing, you know,
Speaker 3: we revisited it sometimes when we're asked to show up somewhere,
Speaker 3: we did oh nineties can Yeah, we did. And you know,
Speaker 3: Christine is my co host on the Hey Dude the
Speaker 3: nineties called podcast, so we've had little cast reunions. You know.
Speaker 3: Our head writer for Hey Dude was a guy named
Speaker 3: Graham Yost, who is now like.
Speaker 2: I was like, wait that sounds really Gram was.
Speaker 3: Writing the movie Speed as we were finishing dude.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He wrote a Band of Brothers. He wrote, he
Speaker 3: created the show Justified. He he does the show Silo.
Speaker 3: He's like one of the biggest writers.
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's cool. We had him on our show.
Speaker 1: Oh nice. I did the idea for the podcast come about? Like,
Speaker 1: what tell me about how you and Christine came up
Speaker 1: with that? Was it your idea? Was it someone else's idea?
Speaker 3: I mean, Amy Sugarman, who's your your producer? Is gonna
Speaker 3: be sake of hearing this because I tell this story
Speaker 3: all the time. And please tell Hamy and Danielle that
Speaker 3: I send my love. Oh yes, I had done Jenny
Speaker 3: Garth and Tory Spelling's podcast to recap my nine O
Speaker 3: two one oero episodes, right, and then I think Tory
Speaker 3: had to be out for a couple shows, so they
Speaker 3: asked me to guest host with Jenny, and then Amy
Speaker 3: asked me to guest on some other podcasts, and we
Speaker 3: talked about what if I would want to do a
Speaker 3: look back on one of the shows on Blossom or
Speaker 3: Sabrina or Hey Dude, and I thought, no, I'd like
Speaker 3: to look back on the nineties because I saw how
Speaker 3: popular nineties culture was with younger people, how nostalgic people
Speaker 3: our age were for it. And Amy said, you need
Speaker 3: a female co host. So I made a list and
Speaker 3: Christine was on it, and she said, if you can
Speaker 3: get Christine to do this with you, we'll make the
Speaker 3: show with you. So then I just like blew up
Speaker 3: Christine's phone and email and text and she thought, someone dies.
Speaker 2: I out on her lawn.
Speaker 1: It got a little weird, but you got the show done,
Speaker 1: so yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it was weird because Christine and I had
Speaker 3: we had dated pretty heavily for a couple of years.
Speaker 4: I was going to say, I was like, I have
Speaker 4: heard this rumor. I need to hear things. Give us
Speaker 4: the tea, Give us the tea.
Speaker 3: Yeah. She was like my first love. Like it was
Speaker 3: you know, when you're on location, first of all, everything
Speaker 3: speeds up right right right relationships seem yeah, and then
Speaker 3: it just it kind of was like a slow plane
Speaker 3: crash and we didn't talk for like over a decade,
Speaker 3: like it was bad. And you know, we did reconnect
Speaker 3: on some of these reunions and we became friends again,
Speaker 3: but not really you know, like close. So when we
Speaker 3: did the podcast, a lot one of the great things
Speaker 3: about it is that we've become really best friends again
Speaker 3: and and we look back on that time like we
Speaker 3: were young and kind of stupid, but yeah, it's so
Speaker 3: nice to have this time in our lives again together,
Speaker 3: to like reconnect and be friends again and work together.
Speaker 4: I love that's didn't I didn't realize that about sort
Speaker 4: of the Year Guys' podcast.
Speaker 2: I mean, I seem to remember that there's that.
Speaker 4: You guys had like were kind of back in the day,
Speaker 4: but like, yeah, I didn't realize it was sort of
Speaker 4: that that big thing. But God, isn't it nice to
Speaker 4: get to the age where you can look back and
Speaker 4: just be like, God, I was an idiot, you were
Speaker 4: an idiot. We were all idiots, you know, and like, oh,
Speaker 4: like now let's be friends again.
Speaker 1: You know, like, oh, let me let all that it
Speaker 1: is twenty five year old crap go.
Speaker 3: You know it is it's like subconsciously so therapeutic to
Speaker 3: have closure on things that you you you cared about
Speaker 3: so much when you were in your early twenties, but
Speaker 3: now you're like, oh, it was just silly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we've kind of all weirdly gotten to
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to have some like closure on things
Speaker 4: that we felt we left behind as young people. I think,
Speaker 4: whether it be shows or relationships or whatever. You know, we,
Speaker 4: like you said, nineties con like, we still kind of
Speaker 4: all travel in these same circles, and then you know,
Speaker 4: it's nice.
Speaker 3: To yeah, like a big it's a big club, that
Speaker 3: whole nineties club.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it really really is.
Speaker 4: So you had so you were on blot let's see Blossom, Clueless, Sabrina.
Speaker 4: You were a Josh on Clueless and Sabrina in fact,
Speaker 4: because Josh was a very popular name in the nineties.
Speaker 3: Yeah. In fact, we shot Clueless at Paramount and then uh,
Speaker 3: I was let go after the first season. It went
Speaker 3: from ABC over to another network forget what it was,
Speaker 3: and then and then I got the Sabrina role. So
Speaker 3: I literally just staying on Paramount for the next three years. Right, Wow,
Speaker 3: to do Sabrina playing the same the character with the
Speaker 3: same name.
Speaker 1: Right, You're like, this is great, just stick here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Hey, I don't care which show it is, right.
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite from all of your recurring roles?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's like choosing your favorite kid.
Speaker 1: You can't pick a favorite, but if you have like
Speaker 1: special memories from any one particular show that stands out
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 3: I did three episodes of Beverly Hills NINEO two and zero,
Speaker 3: and it was started during that summer when the show
Speaker 3: like floated to a point where I mean, I remember
Speaker 3: they were on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine while
Speaker 3: I was doing the when I was doing my and
Speaker 3: my ARC was with Jenny, and it was like and
Speaker 3: I was friends with Luke, like I knew him before
Speaker 3: he got the show, and I had I had never
Speaker 3: seen anything blow up into the zeitgeist like that so quickly,
Speaker 3: and I guess at the time I had never been
Speaker 3: recognized publicly for anything I had done like that. It
Speaker 3: was like every one our age, in the entire world
Speaker 3: was watching that show. And it was back you know,
Speaker 3: before social media and streamers, where everyone really did watch
Speaker 3: the same shows.
Speaker 1: At the same time Thursday nights.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was something really like I've never.
Speaker 2: Seen an episode what she's.
Speaker 4: She's No, I've also never watched an episode of Friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to catch her up to speed.
Speaker 3: Wait is that on purpose?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: How is that possible?
Speaker 4: I so when when nine o two, when I was out,
Speaker 4: I was like five years younger than everybody, so like
Speaker 4: that was your guys' kind of high school years.
Speaker 2: I was still like early.
Speaker 4: Middle school, sixth grade, so it wasn't it was not
Speaker 4: in that I was a my so called life generation,
Speaker 4: which was like a couple of years later. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that was my and that was my like ninth grade year.
Speaker 3: But how did you never friends?
Speaker 1: Very carefully?
Speaker 2: No, I don't know.
Speaker 3: You are so lucky.
Speaker 2: You get to wait, I don't watch sitcoms.
Speaker 1: She's just a joke? Is that.
Speaker 2: I can't stand sitcoms.
Speaker 1: It's just so.
Speaker 3: You've seen how the sausage is made kind of thing.
Speaker 2: No, they don't make me laugh in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2: I have a really dark.
Speaker 4: Scent of humor, so it has to like it's always sunny,
Speaker 4: arrested develop that's the kind of stuff I laugh at.
Speaker 2: But like sitcom.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I know what we're beat beat beat laugh,
Speaker 4: beat beat beat laugh. Okay, I know we're gonna like
Speaker 4: it's like so ingrained. I think that it is kind
Speaker 4: of like I know, I know what the rhythm feels like,
Speaker 4: so it's almost like I know kind of what's going
Speaker 4: to happen.
Speaker 3: And I agree. If I watch a sitcom with my kids,
Speaker 3: they're like, who's laughing?
Speaker 4: Like where everyone everyone was laughing it's hilarious, right, I
Speaker 4: have I have a challenge for you though.
Speaker 3: Okay, there's a Friends episode where Ross and Chandler are
Speaker 3: trying to move furniture from one apartment to another.
Speaker 2: Okay, is that the pivot moment?
Speaker 3: Okay, you have to watch.
Speaker 4: I've seen clips of that that I've seen the pivot
Speaker 4: clips because I didn't get it. My friend's like, oh
Speaker 4: my God sent me the thing because.
Speaker 1: We were trying to again.
Speaker 2: Somewhere have he says to it.
Speaker 3: It looks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I'm sure it's hilarious. I just never and again,
Speaker 4: Friends came out. I was in high school, Like I
Speaker 4: didn't they would crap about, you know, twenty somethings in
Speaker 4: New York City.
Speaker 1: I was like, anyway, I'm out.
Speaker 3: Do you guys think sitcoms are done forever?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I hope not. I don't know why they don't come back.
Speaker 1: They're cheaper to produce, the actors, the crew, everybody likes that.
Speaker 1: He loves it.
Speaker 2: They shoot in la right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4: I don't think they're done, but I do think. I
Speaker 4: just think that any sitcom that were to be done
Speaker 4: now is you know, you just have to it's it
Speaker 4: can't be done like it was in the nineties like that.
Speaker 4: Like as much as we love that nostalgia, I think
Speaker 4: audiences are just a little more savvy these days.
Speaker 1: So you need something a little more what's the word. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's got to.
Speaker 4: Be something a little bit edgy or you know, I
Speaker 4: feel like, well, to be fair, since every since Cable
Speaker 4: and all of that, it's like all of the kid
Speaker 4: that type of full house sort of family television went
Speaker 4: to Nickelodeon or Disney, and then everything else became more
Speaker 4: like adult friendly sitcom television. So yeah, we were we
Speaker 4: were all a part of the last like sit down
Speaker 4: and watch a show when it comes on or you
Speaker 4: miss it live with commercials kind of thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and people don't watch shows collectively anymore. Like you
Speaker 1: don't sit down for appointment TV.
Speaker 4: Now, we're all like the Game of Thrones of it
Speaker 4: in the beginning and stuff like that. I feel like
Speaker 4: we're not even there where everyone's watching like an episode
Speaker 4: of something. You know.
Speaker 3: No, the last shows I remember waiting for them to
Speaker 3: come out were sopranos. Remember on Sunday Night? Oh yeah, right,
Speaker 3: but always put a new soprano.
Speaker 2: HBO Sunday Nights were ye for years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's the last time I remember waiting for
Speaker 3: a show. But yeah, audiences are so fractured there. Everyone's
Speaker 3: watching their own things. But there is there's still great
Speaker 3: work being done.
Speaker 2: There is, there really is.
Speaker 4: And I think sitcoms, I think sitcoms have legs. I
Speaker 4: think people like it. I think people feel comforted by
Speaker 4: it again because it is that like you know, line line,
Speaker 4: line leaf, like there's something you're like, I know you're
Speaker 4: gonna you know, it's gonna be okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is comforting because like, like I love the
Speaker 3: show Severance, and.
Speaker 1: I love that show. It's so weird.
Speaker 3: You can't watch that show while you're checking your emails
Speaker 3: or you know, No, you need to really bring all your.
Speaker 4: Brain not what they call a what is it a
Speaker 4: multi screen or something like there's a word in the
Speaker 4: business for it. That they're like certain kinds of content
Speaker 4: that is made for people to have on while they
Speaker 4: are also scrolling on an iPad or their phone.
Speaker 2: And I forget what the name.
Speaker 4: Of it is, but it's something like, yeah, it's like
Speaker 4: multi screen friendly or so, you know, but it's basically
Speaker 4: they know that we're all sitting there, you know, Love
Speaker 4: islands on and everyone's rolling through Instagram, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean?
Speaker 3: Like that people need that too, People need that too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but anyway, yeah, so that's uh. I think sitcoms.
Speaker 4: I think sitcoms definitely should still stick around, mostly because
Speaker 4: I like doing them and would love to direct them.
Speaker 3: So yeah, oh yeah it'd be great.
Speaker 4: So now you would to You've been how many nineties
Speaker 4: cons have you been to?
Speaker 3: I just did that one, just the one?
Speaker 1: Okay, would you do it again? Do you like cons?
Speaker 1: Is this what?
Speaker 4: Like? Yeah?
Speaker 3: No? Yeah, the nineties con I thought was so well
Speaker 3: run and so organized. I had the best time I
Speaker 3: was there. Actually, there was a Hey Dude reunion and
Speaker 3: a Sabrina reunion the same time, so I did both
Speaker 3: I got both casts to have dinner together. It was
Speaker 3: really cool. Cool, But then then there was something called
Speaker 3: splat Con. Have you ever heard of this?
Speaker 1: No Nickelodeon.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, it feels like someone's getting slimmed.
Speaker 3: It was all of anyone who came through Nickelodeon. Everyone
Speaker 3: signed up to do it. Thousands of people bought tickets
Speaker 3: and plane flights, they had hotel deals.
Speaker 1: I feel like this isn't going to end well.
Speaker 2: I feel like we're heading towards fire festival.
Speaker 3: It was like a little fire festival, like a day
Speaker 3: or two before the festival was supposed to start, and
Speaker 3: the Hey Dude cast had all flown in and they
Speaker 3: were someone was staying in my house, some other people
Speaker 3: were staying at one of our writers' homes and uh,
Speaker 3: we all we didn't even get an email on the
Speaker 3: splat cons social channels. They said the whole thing's canceled,
Speaker 3: and so everyone no one knew what to do. The
Speaker 3: people who were throwing it I think were m i A.
Speaker 1: They took the money and ran I think, so, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what it sounds like.
Speaker 3: But one of the one of the people from Nickelodeon,
Speaker 3: I forget who it was I think someone from Salute
Speaker 3: your Shorts reached out to everyone and said, we're gonna
Speaker 3: all the the patrons or the fans who bought tickets,
Speaker 3: We're going to have like a meet and greet karaoke
Speaker 3: night at this Paul being in Burbank, and we're going
Speaker 3: to promote it. And so we all showed up there
Speaker 3: and like hundreds of people who had at least were
Speaker 3: able to hear about it came and hung out with
Speaker 3: us and we had a really fun night. But that
Speaker 3: after that, I was like, I'm not going to do
Speaker 3: You know, these things are called cons for reasons.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I mean it's happened there.
Speaker 4: I know people that have done cons and then they
Speaker 4: go to you know, cash their check and they're like,
Speaker 4: what it's there's not what there's no money?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah happens.
Speaker 4: But no, they're always so much fun though, aside from
Speaker 4: all of the other craziness, Like you said, getting your
Speaker 4: cast together for dinner and just getting to see people
Speaker 4: that you haven't seen that you were so friendly with
Speaker 4: twenty years.
Speaker 3: Ago, you know, it's awesome. Yeah, there's one called nostalgic con.
Speaker 3: Have you heard of?

Speaker 4: uh sixth grade. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was
Speaker 4: like a bond, how does that work?
Speaker 1: No, we have to talk about when you were on
Speaker 1: the Olsen Twins series Two of a Kind. You did
Speaker 1: five episodes in nineteen ninety one. Do you remember this?
Speaker 1: You reunited with this?
Speaker 3: I totally forgot about that yet. You know what the
Speaker 3: joke is. I think I was involved in the only
Speaker 3: Olsen Twins project that wasn't a huge success. Like literally,
Speaker 3: I got that role and I was like, I played
Speaker 3: Uncle Matt. I'm like, oh, this is gonna be like
Speaker 3: full house. I'm gonna be on a job for like
Speaker 3: ten years, right, And I don't know what happened. It
Speaker 3: was so funny, an amazing cast, and they were like
Speaker 3: they were like preteens. They were so professional and so sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I loved working with them. But yeah, it was like
Speaker 3: half a season and done.
Speaker 1: Huh. I wonder what happened? Yeah, because they are they
Speaker 1: were mega successful at everything.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I thought Two of a Kind had was there? No,
Speaker 4: that was their little detective series. I was like, wasn't
Speaker 4: there one where they solved mysteries?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, no, but Two of a Kind was the show.
Speaker 1: It was probably their attorney. It was probably like, we
Speaker 1: got bigger and better things to do, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: move on. I'm pretty sure he would have he I'm
Speaker 1: sure he would.
Speaker 4: Have squeezed every last drop of blood out of that
Speaker 4: stone if he could have.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but it was a really funny show
Speaker 3: and they were so good.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish it had continued. It was really fun.
Speaker 4: I think it was kind of kind of around that
Speaker 4: time that it was around them that they they were like,
Speaker 4: I don't think I wanna do it anymore. So yeah,
Speaker 4: and they got their feature film contract, which I think
Speaker 4: became New York Minute eventually.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so they did they That.
Speaker 4: Was like a two thousand four or something, I think
Speaker 4: five that movie came out.
Speaker 3: That's sounds right, right, I yeah, I mean I always
Speaker 3: assumed that they maybe didn't want to continue it because
Speaker 3: what network wouldn't keep them on a show?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I think it was they decided to do movies instead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe they didn't like me.
Speaker 2: I think it was you I did.
Speaker 1: I mean I heard rumors.
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna say anything, but it was definitely.
Speaker 1: You and you killed the show. So I was going
Speaker 1: to bring on that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, you could have been doing a twenty
Speaker 4: year reunion, but here we are not.
Speaker 3: Wait, how's your stand up going? Are you still doing it,
Speaker 3: you know what.
Speaker 4: So I haven't been doing as much like solo stand
Speaker 4: up stuff because that requires writing and focus.
Speaker 1: No that I've done a little bit here and.
Speaker 4: There, and I always like, I have amazing friends who
Speaker 4: keep giving me spots to do shows at. But I
Speaker 4: am doing a lot of live comedy shows. So one
Speaker 4: that I'm doing right now in LA is called Smoke
Speaker 4: Show with Sweeten, a comedy pageant, and we take three
Speaker 4: comedians and we put them through the mode most ridiculous,
Speaker 4: outrageous and inappropriate beauty pageant that anyone's ever been a
Speaker 4: part of. And then we crowned the Smoke Show winner
Speaker 4: at the end of it, and it's it's off the rails, insane.
Speaker 4: We have so much fun. I have such great comedian
Speaker 4: friends that come and play. And it's yeah Bespoke in
Speaker 4: LA which the old Supreme store on Fairfax there and uh.
Speaker 3: Oh see it.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: Please, Yes, we have another show coming up in August.
Speaker 4: I'll send you the info and yeah, absolutely, I would
Speaker 4: love to have you guys come.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you something that I just did that's really cool.
Speaker 3: Do you know a guy named Mike Young who used
Speaker 3: to tour with Bob.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know Mike.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Mike uh started a brand, it's a spin
Speaker 3: off of a rocket mortgage called Rock Comedy Ready. He
Speaker 3: brought me on to be creative director and film all
Speaker 3: the content and launched The Social Sun. It was a
Speaker 3: twenty five city tour with some of the most amazing
Speaker 3: comedians like Steve Trevino and any Letterman and Bretans. And
Speaker 3: I was on tour with these guys like you know,
Speaker 3: Phoenix and Nashville. How fun. And so I got to
Speaker 3: see a little glimpse of what it's like to be
Speaker 3: a comedian.
Speaker 1: Like it's insane. It's insane. Everyone's up all night this sleep.
Speaker 4: Don't call a comedian before two pm because they are
Speaker 4: not going to be awake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it's a weird little club.
Speaker 2: It's a very small club.
Speaker 4: Everybody knows each other, rumors pass quickly. But it's really
Speaker 4: fun and yeah, and it's also an interesting dichotomy because
Speaker 4: like you see how comedians are on and doing the
Speaker 4: thing and whatever, and then you'll just see that like
Speaker 4: and they can you know what I mean? There is
Speaker 4: like there are those comedians that you're like, oh, you're
Speaker 4: the you're the the inward comedian like in between you
Speaker 4: go inside and then you come out. All of the
Speaker 4: crazy comes out on stage, and then they come backstage
Speaker 4: and they're.
Speaker 1: Like, hey, man, what's up. How are you? You know?
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I was so enamored by the lifestyle. I
Speaker 3: was like the little kid in Almost Famous. I kept
Speaker 3: going like, this is.
Speaker 2: The greatest girl your land in a city.
