1
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: What's your favorite bad for you food? Will my favorite

2
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: restaurant in the world, And yes, it's a restaurant's McDonald's.

3
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: And that's why I don't eat much restaurant called Mickey

4
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Donald Mickey Donald McDonald. I love it. I love it

5
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: to death. And I told writer that my favorite burger

6
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: is a McDonald's burger. And writer then told me about

7
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: a place that I have yet to try. But it's

8
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: like the you know, probably way cleaner version of a

9
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 1: McDonald's burger. Hipster. It's hipster. It's in Silver Lake. It's

10
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: called Burger's Never Say Die, and it's unbelievable. Can I

11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: ask the last time you had at McDonald's burger? Writer me, Yeah,

12
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: I've had McDonald's. And my Indie loves McDonald's. So, like

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: when we're on a road trip and we have to

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: stop for fast food, which is usually when I eat

15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: fast food, Um, we'll get a McDonald's. I'll do that

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: over an in and out. I'm not an in and

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: out guy. I haven't in out burgers, but not the fries.

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: I don't like the fries. Fries are bad, but burgers

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: I get it protein style too. I love the crunch

20
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: of the lettuce. Big fan of that. I love crunchy lettuce.

21
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: I've been really into making sandwiches lately, and just like

22
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: a homemade sandwich. By the way, when I was a kid,

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how my mom how it was even possible,

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: because I've tried to do it now it's not really easy.

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: But my mom used to draw a heart in the

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: peanut butter. She'd make me a peanut butter and jelly

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: sandwich and she draw she draw a heart in the

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: peanut butter, and then I think she just very lightly

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: put the bread together. But I remember being in elementary

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: school and being able to slowly peel apart the sandwich

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: to see the port, to see whatever portion of the

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: heart was still left in the peanut butter. Isn't that sweet?

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: I know? And then it made me think about the

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: fact that, like, I don't include enough my My mom

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: used to leave me a note in my lunch occasionally,

36
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: and I loved the notes. And so for Adler's third birthday,

37
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: I dropped him off at school and I put a

38
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: little note in there, and I was like, he can't read.

39
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: This is gonna mean anything? What am I doing? Sometimes

40
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: I I I give indie notes every once in a while,

41
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: and back when he was in preschool the teachers would

42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: read them too. Was just aware that somebody's going to

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: read it to him. There's a Simpsons episode where Lisa

44
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: and Bart are coming up at lunch and Lisa says,

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I I Bart says, I think I got your lunch,

46
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: and she takes it over and the note says I'm

47
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: so proud of you. I love you, and she goes, yeah,

48
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: I got yours, and the note says, be good. For

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: the love of God, be good, and that was great. Yeah.

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm also not going to tell you that when I travel,

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: my wife puts together a snack bag and puts a

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: note in it for me. My God, that's cute. When

53
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: when Jensen and I were dating, uh and he'd go

54
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: on a trip somewhere I would leave, I would write

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: a little little notes, like on a like I post it,

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: I'd rip a post it into three and write three

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: little notes are just like I love you, and hide

58
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: one in the brim of his hat and one in

59
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: a saw. We awesome. I love doing that stuff. Well,

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: writer custom build his wife's wedding rings so exactly tells

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: you everything about our relationship, you make the gesture and

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: then you forget about it. I mean, I don't minding

63
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: the metal. I don't leave those notes in Jensen's hats anymore.

64
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: I have two children to take care of, and you know,

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: I feel like, truthfully, um, marriage right after kids is

66
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: absolutely takes a total backseat to now the children. And

67
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: like the good news is I am not in a

68
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: relationship where Jensen feels like once we had kids, she

69
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: stopped prioritizing me. Like Jensen so totally gets it that

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: for both of us, our children right now are like

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: the season of life we are in is just very

72
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: kids centric, and there will be a time where we

73
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: get back to like our relationship being in the hierarchy,

74
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: but right now it's kind of like the biggest bonding

75
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: experience we have is playing Octortal before we go to bed,

76
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: and that's about definitely, like, you know, if you can

77
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: have grandparents or somebody watch the kids, I would definitely like.

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: Taking taking each other out to dinner is like something

79
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Alex and I have always made essential. It's like, you know,

80
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: every couple of weeks, at every stage, it was like

81
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: because because we were fortunate enough that my in laws

82
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: are local you know, in l A, no one has grandparents,

83
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: so like all of our friends, you know, they have

84
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: to hire babies that if they're going out or whatever.

85
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: But we're so lucky. My in laws moved from Florida

86
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: when Indy was born, and so we've always been able

87
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: to just have nights out where it's just the two

88
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: of us and it's like so essential. I love that. Yeah,

89
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: that's why it's hard to and I that's one of

90
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: the reasons why kids we love not It's just just

91
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: about us and we like that. I mean, it works

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: for us, it's perfect. So well, welcome to Pod Meets World.

110
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: we wanted to check in with each other to say,

111
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: how are you feeling. How do you think this is going.

112
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: Moments that have made you uncomfortable, moments that have made

113
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: you really happy? Um, and so that's kind of where

114
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: we are right How are you feeling in this stage

115
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: of our journey. I feel like I jumped into what

116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: I thought was like a shallow pool and it got

117
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: really deep, really quick. I we I feel like we

118
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: got in over our heads a little quicker than I

119
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: don't know, I guess. I guess. I thought the rewatching

120
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 1: would take more of a precedence than the conversations about

121
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. But basically, after we started that first

122
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: episode and the memories just kept coming and the conversation

123
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: kept going in that direction because that is our experience

124
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: right is like we I remember backstage way more than

125
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: I remember the episodes themselves. So we just keep going

126
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: in that direction. And I can't believe how much material

127
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: there is already out there. Um and so I'm I,

128
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a little overwhelmed. I'm a little like, wow,

129
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: I have I thought I'd processed all of this, but

130
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: obviously not. Um And yeah, so I still have a

131
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: lot of feelings and I'm still figuring it out. I

132
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: think the best part about this has been sharing it

133
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: with my son. That's been super fun and funny and

134
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: already led to interesting conversations about him and our relationship

135
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: that I like. Um not, you know, because what I

136
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: end up playing on the show is I edit down

137
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: from usually like a five to ten minute conversation, so

138
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: it's usually double what is on on this show. And

139
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: that's been super fun. Um but yeah, it's it's definitely

140
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: gotten deeper than I thought quicker. How about you guys, Um, Yeah,

141
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: I kind of feel the same way. I'm really loving,

142
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: first of all, a couple of things, Really loving seeing

143
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: the both of you as much as we I mean,

144
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: we always saw each other, but now that it's like

145
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: a regular thing kind of there's a safety in doing

146
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: this with your friends. Um, so there's something that I

147
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: love about that. I also just absolutely adore bringing all

148
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: the guests back and getting to talk to everybody again

149
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: as adults, and also just the conversations of leading to

150
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: who else are we gonna bring on? Who else can

151
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: we get, who's gonna come? I mean, all that kind

152
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: of stuff is is a lot of fun for me.

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, I got very real, very quick, very quickly,

154
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: and I'm okay with that. I think it's I think

155
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: it's you know, we one of the things that we

156
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: has talked about was we were going to start this

157
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: show and then we were going to let the show

158
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: kind of dictate what it became. We were gonna, you know,

159
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 1: just keep it very very loose and see where it went,

160
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: uh and go from there. And once Tony Quinn came

161
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: up with the idea of actually making the show and

162
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: we were able to kind of move he came up

163
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: with it. He was really he came up with it

164
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: after and um, I thank him for it every day.

165
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: And he invented podcast he did, so. Um yeah, so no,

166
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: it's it's been It's been a ton of fun. I've

167
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed it. It's I know this sounds ridiculous.

168
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: It's been a lot more work than I thought it

169
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: was going to be, if that makes any sense, which

170
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: is mentally draining, mentally draining, time consuming, actual work. I mean,

171
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: there's it's there's a lot of work people are It's like, oh,

172
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: you stead in front of microphone, you talk. Well, now,

173
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot that goes on because we want to

174
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: be kind of involved in every aspect of the show.

175
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: So um, but it's, uh, it's it's it's been fun,

176
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: but it's been a lot more emotional than I thought

177
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: it was gonna be. Yeah, I think, um to your

178
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: point will about the time consuming nous of it. I

179
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: think one of the things that I'm surprised by that

180
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: I shouldn't really have been surprised by, is just how much,

181
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: um I enjoy talking about all of the little moments

182
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: for each one of us, and how long we must

183
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: find ourselves endlessly entertaining. I hope you guys find us

184
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: entertaining too, because I am amazed when two hours go by.

185
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: I am truthfully like two hours go by and I

186
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: go I feel like I've been here for forty minutes.

187
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, if I wasn't worried about you

188
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: guys listening not wanting to have a three hour episode,

189
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: I could still sit here and keep discussing things. And

190
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: so I am. I'm like that in that sense. There's

191
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: been so much to discuss and I've enjoyed all of it. Um,

192
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: And it is time consuming to watch the episode, write

193
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: the notes, uh, think about the memories, and then you know,

194
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: be present in the conversation and want to listen to

195
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: what everybody else's stories are. Um. I'm I'm selfishly very

196
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: excited to get into some episodes that I'm in because

197
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: I feel a little like, you know, I'm getting to

198
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: comment on on a show that doesn't even feel at

199
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: all like I'm a part of it. Yet. You know,

200
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: I did think in that episode with Will's first on

201
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: screen kiss with Carrie Russell, I thought it was funny.

202
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: I didn't say it in the time when we did

203
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: the episode, but I'm remembering it now that it's funny

204
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: that Corey doesn't even make any mention of the fact

205
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: that he has also kissed a girl, and I that's

206
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: one of the things that makes me think. You guys

207
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: may have reported that episode before that, because he makes

208
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: a joke about Eric maybe what having kissed two girls,

209
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: and I thought I would have almost been funnier for

210
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: him to be like, I've kissed the same amount of

211
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: girls you have, you know, like just but he didn't

212
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: even acknowledge it, So I feel like maybe that was

213
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: even before I was there. So selfishly, I'm looking forward

214
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: to getting into some episodes where I'm there, because, um,

215
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: I can't wait to critique myself in those ways. We

216
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: can't wait to critique you either. Oh, it's gonna be

217
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: so fun. Have you ever wanted to see us do

218
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: this nonsense we do with all the talking and the

219
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: talky talky and the talking talking live, Well, guess what

220
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: we are doing that. We are announcing our very first

221
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: live show ever where we are going to bring this

223
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: no idea what it's going to be yet, which is

224
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: a little scary, so it may be a total issue

225
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: and which case, maybe you really need to be there.

226

Speaker 1: Do you guys know? Do you guys want? You want

233
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: to hear something weird? I refused to call myself a

234
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: child actor until maybe like five years ago. I could not. Yeah,

235
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: I intentionally avoided the phrase I was a child actor,

236
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: or I would find ways around it. I would say, oh,

237
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: and I I acted when I was a kid, or

238
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: you know I used to act. I started acting when

239
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: I was young. For whatever reason, I became obsessed at

240
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: post boy Mean's world immediately with not acknowledging my identity

241
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: as this thing, and it was so weird. In college

242
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: I became UM. I became friends with Joshua Waitskin, who

243
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: um is the child prodigy that uh UM Searching for

244
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: Bobby Fisher is based on. He was a chess player

245
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: and he was ach so his dad wrote the incredible

246
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: book It's a wonderful book by Fred Waitskin UM called

247
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: Searching for Bobby Fisher, which then became a pretty good movie. UM.

248
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: But and when we were in college, he mentioned that

249
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: he hated the phrase child prodigy. He couldn't stand and

250
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: I was like, why that's such a compliment, It's so awesome,

251
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: And but I then on the flip side, I had

252
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: to acknowledge I hated child actor, which to me seemed

253
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: like more derogatory. But for him, even child prodigy, which

254
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: I thought of as a compliment, he could only see

255
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: it as diminishing because it was like either he you know,

256
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: he wanted to be a grown up prodigy or whatever

257
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: that you know, you wanted to just be acknowledged for

258
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: doing a thing, and maybe you started it early, but

259
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: it was clear that we were both going through the

260
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: same psychological process for you know, very different reasons. But

261
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: uh yeah, so when we were talking about this show,

262
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: this podcast, it's really something that would have been literally

263
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: impossible for me to think about five years ago when

264
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't even say the phrase child actor. Now I'm like,

265
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: I was a kid actor was crazy, you know, like,

266
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: and I can own it. But um so, even just

267
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: like the fact that we're having these kinds of conversations,

268
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: we were really diving deep and being completely honest is

269
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: only possible as a forty plus year old for me, Yeah,

270
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: I also avoided child actor. And I think it's for

271
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: a few reasons. One, it's a very loaded um phrase.

272
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: It it also implies somehow, um, possibly you know, messed up,

273
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: possibly a drug addict, possibly you know caught up. Doesn't

274
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: actually that's what That's what's interesting is that it doesn't

275
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: it did to you or does you know? That's what

276
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: you're afraid of, But that's actually not the case. Like

277
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: just it's literally child actor. It's a it's a neutral description,

278
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: but I think what it does by adding the child

279
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: to it, it diminishes that you were an actor, right

280
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: Like it somehow creates an identity that's different than doing

281
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: a thing like you didn't just act, you were a

282
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: child actor. It's an identity that's sort of like handed

283
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: to you, I don't know well. And also then it

284
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: has the feeling of when you are no longer a child,

285
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: it is taken away from you that now you've outgrown

286
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: a thing. Now you're no longer special because you're no

287
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: longer a child. And so you have that feeling of like, well,

288
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: am I not still good at what I do? Or

289
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: am I not still an actor because I'm no longer

290
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: a child? But I do think when people talk about, well,

291
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: how did you know child actor? For a lot of people,

292
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: it is weightier than just the description. I know, the

293
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: words mean you were an actor who was a child fild,

294
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: but it also does have that sense of like, so

295
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: there must be a problem with you because you were

296
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: a child actor, because it does. I don't know, maybe

297
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: that is just me, but I feel like most people

298
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: think of it that way. I never called myself a

299
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: child actor, and and it wasn't it wasn't conscious. I

300
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: was just I was always an actor and that I

301
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: still and then be like, oh kay, really you're an actor. Ye,

302
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm an actor. Oh when did you start? I was like, oh, man,

303
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: I started when I was a kid. I was really young.

304
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: But I was never like and I was a child actor.

305
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: It just I mean, see it's different for you writer,

306
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: because you're not an actor anymore. Where I'm you know,

307
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm still acting, So it was kind of like, I'm

308
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: an actor and it's like, oh, well, well when I

309
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: was young, I was on this, and when I was

310
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: in my twenties and I was on this and I

311
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: do a lot of voice over, like it was never

312
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: I never put it in a category. And I think

313
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: there is kind of like that. We we've we've talked

314
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: about this a number of times, were coming in the

315
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: early nineties who were coming off the eighties child actor,

316
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: which did have that kind of negative connotation around it,

317
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: were that's what you did. You peeked at at seventeen,

318
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: You then robbed the liquor store, you did that. What

319
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: happened when you were, you know, acting in the eighties. Um,

320
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: and I think it we hit a different kind of

321
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: version of quote unquote child actors and the child actor

322
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: in the nineties. I mean, we we just did. And

323
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: so I yeah, I don't know. I'd never referred to

324
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: myself as a child actor. I was always just an actor.

325
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: And then what's funny isn't in the last And my

326
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: wife calls me on this every once in a a while,

327
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: she's like, I wish you would stop doing that for

328
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: the last Like, I don't know, eight nine years. I

329
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: always tell people I do cartoon voices. They're like, what

330
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: do you do for a living? I do? I go, oh, man,

331
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: I do animation or I'm a voice over actor. Like

332
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: that's always what I've called myself. So I have no

333
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: problem for some reason putting myself in that category. But

334
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: I never once called myself a child actor. I don't

335
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: know why. Well, here we are three child actors about

336
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: to go through and talk about some of your most

337
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: frequently asked questions that we've gotten since we started the podcast.

338
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: One of them is a very simple one, which is

339
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: what's the podcast schedule? How many times a week are

340
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: we going to get to hear the podcast? Or maybe

341
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: you're asking stop overloading us with podcasts? I don't know,

342
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: but you want to know, slow down? Why are we

343
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: getting to a week? Um? Our podcast schedule is one

344
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: a week, unless we are lucky enough to have a guest,

345
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: which we've had a lot of guests lately. If we

346
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: are lucky enough to have a guest, then you will

347
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: get two episodes in a week, and UM, that's now,

348
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: we'll give you a third. Um. Will there be a

349
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: YouTube channel for the podcast as of right now? The

350
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: answer is no, maybe somewhere down the line, who knows,

351
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: we could eventually. We are recording this um mostly for audio.

352
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: It's not we're recording it because it's great video of

353
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 1: us or anything. It's mostly just because it helps us

354
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: with recording audio and we like to have it for

355
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: our social posts. UM. But As of right now, we're

356
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: not recording it for video. It's just audio, so but

357
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: who knows, in the future, maybe we'll we'll leave that

358
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: window open. Now, this is a question for you too.

359
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 1: I have kind of a boring answer for it, so

360
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to go last, But did you keep any

361
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 1: props or items from the Boy Meets World set? Right?

362
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: And you want to start? Yeah, So I well, we

363
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: we Actually, I think I did end up trading, not

364
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: a bunch, but some clothing at the end of the

365
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: last season. UM Disney would allow. The Disney only cared

366
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: that certain clothes stayed because they would keep them in

367
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: a warehouse for I don't know how many years. I

368
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: don't think they're still there. But they didn't want to

369
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: keep the clothes, but they would never check if it

370
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: was the specific jacket, specific shirt. So our wardrobe people

371
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: let us come in and trade, so as long as

372
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: we brought in a jacket. So I went and bought

373
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: a leather jacket that I had worn that was very

374
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 1: similar to the Shawn jacket, but it was mine, and

375
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: then I brought it in and traded it for Shawn's

376
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: actual leather jacket. And I did that with some other

377
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: clothes too, But for about two years post Boy Meets World.

378
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: A year and a half post Boy Meets World, I

379
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: had that leather jacket. I wore it in New York.

380
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: But then I was living in Brooklyn and Williamsburg and

381
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: Mike Heart I've broken into. I came out, I came

382
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: out from my apartment and my car's window was broken

383
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: and the alarm was going off, and my jacket was gone.

384
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, someone stole the leather jacket out of my

385
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: car in Brooklyn. Um. The other thing I have is

386
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: there's a painting of Robert Nighthawk that was in the college.

387
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: What was it called the main common common room? Okay,

388
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: what was it? I mean I had to have it.

389
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: Actually it had a name. It had a name. It

390
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: was the Oh my gosh, it's gonna dry me. It

391
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: wasn't just a common room. It was there was something else, lounge,

392
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: college lounge. I don't know anyway, the right above, like

393
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: one of like the I think it's right at where

394
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: the pool table was. At some point there was a

395
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: original painting. I forget who it's actually by, but it's

396
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: an artist who does musicians. He paints musicians and with

397
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: their name underneath the student union. Was it the student union?

398
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: Thank you? That's from Easton, thank you east In our

399
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: engineer and okay, yeah, so in the student union there

400
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: was a painting. Anyway, I took that painting the last night.

401
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: I stole it. Um, Daniel, you were with me. We

402
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: were sitting in the stands the last night after the tape,

403
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: after the final tape, and it was you, me, my

404
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: girlfriend at the time, and um Beth who was our

405
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: second stage manager, second second or whatever. Yeah, anyway, I

406
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: threw it in the back of my girlfriend's truck. I

407
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: just I was like, I'm going to take that painting now.

408
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: I would go back and take so much more. Like

409
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: I really wish I had Penbrooke sweatshirts and Penbrook stuff

410
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: because we had that whole student union was filled with

411
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: Penbrooke proms and I didn't keep any of them. I'm

412
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: sure they're online to be bought, but it would be

413
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: nice to have an original. I have a Penbrook sweatshirt somewhere.

414
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I kept. By the time the

415
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: show was over, I was so I was just mentally

416
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: not in a good place. I was so burnt out.

417
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: I was like, goodbye show. I don't think at the

418
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: time I had any idea that it was going to

419
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: one be something I was talking about thirty years later. Uh,

420
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: and so I didn't know that. I and I also,

421
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: um unfortunately, have never been much of like I'm not

422
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: sentimental about things. I'm like sentimental about experiences. I'm sentimental

423
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: about um. But like, I'm not a big thing person.

424
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: I like to. I tend to be a little bit

425
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: more of a minimalist and so the idea of holding

426
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: onto something didn't really strike me at the time, But

427
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: I wish I wish I did, because obviously i'd like

428
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: to I'd like to have it now. But that the

429
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: other than the pen Books pen Brook sweatshirt, I don't

430
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: have anything. What about you will? Yeah, I don't have much.

431
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: I am very much a sentimental person, which is surprises

432
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: me that I don't have more from the show um

433
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: where my wife is the same way. She's like, oh, baby, clothes,

434
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: youink and she's throw them away. Um. I have a

435
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: John Adams Athletic Department sweatshirt that I was still when

436
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: I work out. Yeah, it's very cool. And um and

437
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 1: I have a Doctor Patson signed by Mark Patson. So

438
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: we we've talked about this on other shows where you're

439
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: not allowed to show products and you can't show so

440
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: can't say Coca Cola, can't say pepsi. So we would

441
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: have our prop guy would would have a little fun

442
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: and they would rename uh certain products, whether it be

443
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: cereal or soda or whatever it was. And one of

444
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: the things that he his name was Mark Patson, and

445
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: one of the things we would have Dr Papson instead

446
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: of Dr Pepper. So I have a Doctor Papson signed

447
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: by Mark Papson in my office sitting on the desk,

448
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: and it's year no, no, no, it's totally. It's empty.

449
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: It's never it was empty from the when I got it. Um.

450
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: But other than that, and then I have things that

451
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: I just kept because I never throw things away, Like

452
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: I have probably a hundred different scripts at least, um

453
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: original scripts from Boy and original scripts from Kimpossible and

454
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: kind of old shows back in the day. But I

455
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: have a ton of Boy meets World scripts that I found,

456
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: and um, I mean I have like original videotapes. I

457
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: found the original pilot not too long ago, which I

458
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: gave you guys each a copy of with the original

459
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: Eric and the original Alan oh, and I know this

460
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: is going to be a frequently question. No, it will

461
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: not be released anywhere. We don't have the right to

462
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: do that. Um. But so you know I found that,

463
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: and and but other than kind of big stuff, no,

464
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: we we all did the clothing trade. You know, you

465
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: went in and these jeans for that jeans, and and

466
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: it was crazy to the point where you talk about

467
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: how how um exacting Disney can be. It was a

468
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: good three or four weeks later, I got a call

469
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: from someone at Disney who was not affiliated with the show,

470
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: but with Disney wardrobe overall, asking me for a pair

471
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: of black socks that apparently I had taken. There's a

472
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: pair of black dress socks missing from your character. But

473
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: they really did follow up and I was like, sorry,

474
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: don't have them, and I'm not about to run in

475
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: a pair of black sox to Disney, but they I

476
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: literally got a phone call about a pair of black sox.

477
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: So that I think the Disney Vault is actually like

478
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: kind of a famous thing, because remember the episodes that

479
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: we did where we went back to like the forties

480
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: or the fifties. I'm wearing lucile balls shoes, and that's

481
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: that's why they they keep all the clothes. They keep

482
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: them so that when they do period pieces or if

483
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: someone becomes some massive star or historical you know, there's

484
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: some historical reason to do it, they've got it. And

485
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: then I don't know how long they hold onto it.

486
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: But I mean, we we did that episode where we

487
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: went back to the fifties and like you know or something,

488
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: and I'm wearing lucile ball shoes. I think it's more

489
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: for functionality or like what you were saying, it's more

490
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: about for period pieces. Then there they rarely. I don't

491
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: think they're saving things for sentimental or resale value or

492
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: like sort of historical museum. They also don't don't save everything.

493
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: Because there was a it went viral on TikTok last

494
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: year or the year before where somebody found at a

495
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: thrift store and it's marked Disney and tag Disney with

496
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: the date the quote unquote now famous pink dress from

497
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: My Date with the President's Daughter, which is a movie

498
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: that I did for Disney, And it was like Oliver

499
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: TikTok where the them and was like I have the

500
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: actual address and there's the you know, the name and

501
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: everything on there. So that was what was really cool.

502
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: They have a warehouse where they the giant rose all

503
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: the way up to the ceiling, so from Florida ceiling

504
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: racks of clothes and they divide them in rows by decade.

505
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember there? Yeah, so I think probably

506
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: what happened is a lot of our clothes might be

507
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 1: in what is now the nineties ye aisle of this warehouse.

508
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: But I don't think they would have labeled and kept

509
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: it just for you know, the sacred point having it having.

510
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: Do you think they're labeled at all? Though? Like, do

511
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: you think if we went there and looked in the

512
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: nineties thing it would there be a boy Meats world section?

513
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: Or you think they're all just muddled in there with

514
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: you can find a denom, sleeveless denim with what I mean,

515
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: I look for a lot of fun. If they would

516
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: let traded in love to go, That's what I'm saying.

517
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: We get video and we put it up on the

518
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: website where it's like so if anybody works in the

519
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: art department of Disney and can give access to one

520
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: of the many warehouses, I just remember the one in

521
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: particular we went to um that would be amazing. Remember writer,

522
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: when they used to. There was the one woman and

523
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: I wish I remembered her name because she was very sweet.

524
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: We would go to her office and she would take

525
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: us down the hall to like the DVD room and

526
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: she would open up the doors and the drawers and

527
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: it was like, take whatever you want, and we would

528
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: walk out with like stacks of DVDs. No, she was

529
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: like an executive at Disney but who had access to

530
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: the whole DVD section and she would be like, take

531
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: because they'd have stacks of all their movies and all

532
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: their shows and all the stuff. And we would go

533
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: in there and walk out with like thirty DVDs each

534
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: of all the new stuff, not any recollections. Oh yeah,

535
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: it was awesome, totally cool because I don't yeah, oh,

536
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: I used to do do it all the time. I know

537
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: you were with me at least once because you were

538
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: like this is the best. I was like, yeah, this

539
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: is I would have been would have been a lot

540
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: later because DVDs weren't. This was still I think we were.

541
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: This might have even been six or seventh season. Yeah,

542
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: but it was great. Yeah. Alright, so, um, will we

543
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: ever get to hear Anthony Tyler Quinn a k A.

Speaker 1: Mr Turner as a guest. Yes, we will already talked

545
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: to Tony. What's funny, very quick funny story. Well it's

546
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: not funny, so much is ironic that we're talking about

547
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: it right now. Um, I'm here in Chicago where Tony

548
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: and his wife have moved, and he's picking me up

549
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: tomorrow night and we are having dinner. Um, so I

550
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: take a picture and send it to us. I will.

551
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: I saw him three weeks ago, right before it, probably

552
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: two days before he moved. I mean they like literally

553
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: just move, just moved, like just moved here. So he's yeah,

554
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: he's coming to the con to to grab me tomorrow night.

555
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna go and grab some food and so he

556
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: I we've already asked him. He is absolutely coming on

557
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: the show. He cannot wait. So you will certainly be

558
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: able to hear from from Mr Tony Quinn. I can't

559
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: wait to talk to him. Oh my gosh, please send

560
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 1: us a picture. I want to see. Probably looks exactly

561
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: the same he does. He looks like as he's still

562
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: in way better shape than any of us could ever

563
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: hope to be. And he's yeah, he's crazy man. Okay.

564
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: Another very frequently asked question is who were our first

565
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: celebrity crushes. I know mine right off the bat. Well, okay,

566
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: so I have to my first celebrity crush is My

567
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: earliest celebrity crush that I can remember was Aaron gray

568
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: on buck Rogers was my was my first ever celebrity crush,

569
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: followed quickly when I got a little bit older by

570
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: um Drew Barrymore. Those are my two. But Aaron gray

571
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: on buck Rogers was like it changed my life. Mine

572
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: was Meredith Salinger in Journey of Natty Gan, a missed masterpiece.

573
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: I love this movie. I actually reasonably watched it with

574
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: my son and it's actually it's it's not great, but

575
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: it's incredibly it's incredible at its recreation of the period. Um,

576
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: it's a great fell Um. Just it should be remade

577
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: big time. Um. But yeah, no, I actually have like

578
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: thought about it would be an amazing limited series because

579
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: it's it's about a girl who like escapes during the

580
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: depression or her dad is works all the way across

581
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: the country and she's in like an abusive situation, so

582
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: she runs away to find her dad across the country.

583
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: So it's her literally moving from one coast to the

584
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: ar if I think it's from Chicago to California to

585
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: find her dad, and it's just her like riding the

586
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: rails and she has a wolf that like hangs out

587
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: with her. And is it fantasy? No no, no, no no

588
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: no no, it's pretty realist, like uh and and that's

589
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: kind of the problem with the movie is that it's

590
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: just episodic. It's just like, now she's in this town

591
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: and she runs into this gang of kids and she

592
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: goes over here, and it's all very like it doesn't

593
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: string together into like a fully functional, good narrative, but

594
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: the beats are wonderful and Merit Salinger is awesome and

595
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: I actually got to know her later on. She played

596
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: my brother's girlfriend in his the pilot I Man Now,

597
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: which we talked about in our first episode. Um Hillary

598
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: Swank played his older sister and the singer was the

599
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: girl he was like waking out with on the couch.

600
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: And I remember my brother and I were both just like,

601
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: oh my good because we have grown up loving like

602
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: having our first crush on Meretith when she was you know,

603
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: like twelve and we were eight or whatever. Her. Yeah,

604
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: she's great, she's she's you mean, we actually became friends

605
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: and in our teams. I haven't seen her for years,

606
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: but you know she she married Patton Oswald, Paton Oswald.

607
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah she'satt Oswald's wife. Yeah she's great. But anyway, that

608
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: was like definitely my first first feelings. So I didn't

609
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: watch a lot of TV as a kid, and I'm

610
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: not sure why because my parents weren't opposed to TV

611
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: or anything. I just don't have like a lot of memory.

612
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't important to me. It was like just not

613
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: a thing I was into. I was really interested in reading.

614
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: I loved to read, and I remember my brother being

615
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: really into shows. My brother is four years younger than me,

616
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: and he watched a lot of animated stuff, so like Ninja, Turtles,

617
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: g I, Joe, you know, all of that stuff, and

618
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: so I remember watching that stuff off with him and

619
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I was a fan of Sesame Street

620
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: when I was really young, but that was it. I

621
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: didn't have like, Yes, So Kalsar was my first crush, Daniel,

622
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: So my first are you were more of a Kermit guy? Daniel,

623
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: I really like you. My first then celebrity crush was

624
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: actually Jonathan Taylor Thomas because I actually yes, from Home

625
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: Improvement because we worked next door to him and we

626
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, played sports with him, and but this is different.

627
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: That's only a you can't say childhood crush. They know. Yeah,

628
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: that's like that's like saying your first Yeah. No, that

629
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: doesn't count. I know what you're trying to do. I know,

630
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: I see you, Danielle. You're trying to slip in a

631
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: school crush or like a very like appropriate age crush

632
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: real life because it happened to be a celebrity. Always

633
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: excuse me, Did I date somebody from in Sincle? Does that?

634
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: Just know you already cet. But maybe that's true. I

635
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: get it, I get it, I got it. But the

636
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: whole point is, did you ever have feelings for somebody

637
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: you didn't know? Like the point is somebody was on

638
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: a screen or in a situation removed from you, and

639
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: you had a crush on them that was basically based

640
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: on it never happening. No, well that's not true. Not no, no,

641
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: that's not true. That's not true. That that's not true.

642
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: After I already had the crush on Jonathan and then yes,

643
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: Jonathan was my first boyfriend when I was like twelve.

644
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: God um, I then when uh Titanic came out. I

645
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: was just beyond for Leonardo DiCaprio. I mean, I mean disgusting,

646
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: like the biggest crush. I just I used to be like,

647
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to marry that guy. And and that was

648
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: so you would have moved over and shared the door

649
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: with them, so you both could have survived. Of course,

650
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: of course I would have. Um. So, yeah, I did

651
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: have a crush on Leonardo DiCaprio. But that that feels

652
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: that feels weird to me because it was so much

653
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: like I was. I was sixteen or something at that time.

654
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,239
Speaker 1: It was weird. It was weird time, don't you know.

655
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: That's the way I felt about. My brother was actually

656
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: in a movie. He ended up getting cut out, but

657
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: he was in this movie called fox Fire, and uh,

658
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: Angelina Jolie, a young Andelina Jolia's in it, and she

659
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: is unbelievable and she was great because she's a great actress,

660
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: but she's also so gorgeous. And so when my brother,

661
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: when I saw this movie which my brother got cut out,

662
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: he's still in the end credits you can find him.

663
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: But when I saw this movie, I was like, who

664
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: is that? And I am in love with her? Um. Yeah,

665
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: Natalie Wood and West Side Story was like that for

666
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: me too. That's another one of mine where it was

667
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: just she was so as Maria just it's incredible predictable

668
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: eminem eminem I went through. I had a little I

669
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: was I was eighteen or nineteen. I had a poster.

670
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: At eighteen years old, I had an eminem poster on

671
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: my on my wall. I was, Oh, my gosh, and

672
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: how can I I just remember this? Do you guys

673
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: remember that in my wall? I used to carry around

674
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: a picture of David Letterman. That's right. I don't know.

675
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: This was something you always said. You were like, I

676
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: think David Letterman is that the most handsome. We were

677
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: always like what and You're like, because he's so funny,

678
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: so funny. So yeah, I actually I had a big conversation.

679
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: I remember being like, La, Danielle has got a thing

680
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: for David Letterman. But totally makes sense. I was twelve

681
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: years old and in love with David Letterman. As a

682
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: matter of that, my first boyfriend, Jonathan Taylor Thomas then

683
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: got to be a guest on the David Letterman Show,

684
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: and he came home with its signed headshot from David

685
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: Letterman to me, and I think it said, dear Danielle,

686
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: be nice to Jonathan of David Letterman a crusher? Was

687
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: that just like admiration for good question? I don't you

688
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: don't know, well, you know what's funny? Similar. I thought

689
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: he was extremely handsome. I thought he was very funny.

690
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: I loved I loved everything about him. Carried around a

691
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: picture of him in my wallet. But David Combs is

692
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: one of the people who actually pointed out to me,

693
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: and it made me a little insecure because I was like, well,

694
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I said, he was, you know,

695
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: talking about our crushes. And I said, yeah, David Lenderman.

696
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: And he goes, oh, so you're attracted to power and

697
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: then and then just like moved and I was, and

698
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: I was like, I had never thought of I don't know,

699
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: I don't don't I'm twelve, I'm I'm twelve, I don't know.

700
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: I just know that I like him, um and I so.

701
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: But it always then made me self conscious to like

702
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: say that I had a crush on him, but it

703
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: was it is a weird crush for a twelve year

704
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: old to have. But I guess, but him and Jonathan

705
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: Taylor Thomas, David Letterman very similar, right, that's what people say,

706
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: but I did. I. I am very attracted to funny people.

707
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: I think I think funny people are just me too.

708
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: I love I love someone who's able to make me laugh.

709
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: And David Letterman, I think probably was like the first

710
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: person celebrity wise, I remember a regularly making me laugh.

711
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: And just I don't know, I just yeah, okay, which

712
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: one of us received the most fan mail? Writer? That's

713
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: what I said. I said it was writer. And by

714
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: the way, the person who sent in this question admitted

715
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: that they sent it was a boy and he said

716
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: he sent a letter to writer as a kid with

717
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: the you went you had a good year or two

718
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: where you were on the cover of like every teen magazine. Yeah. Yeah,

719
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: I was actually on Oprah for being one of the

720
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: celebrities who received like the most fan mail or something.

721
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: At one point it was like thousands of letters a week. Um,

722
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I ended up being on Oprah. It's

723
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: an awful appearance. If anybody can find it, it's the worst.

724
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: I was so like insecure and talk no, you know.

725
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 1: I ended up being in Chicago, was visiting my friend Aaron,

726
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: who I just saw last week. Um. Still one of

727
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: my best friends. UM. I was visiting her. She had

728
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: grown up with Ben. Actually that's how I met her.

729
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: Second season, she came out to visit Ben, and she

730
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 1: and I became best friends and have been best friends

731
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: ever since. UM, but I was I was visiting her.

732
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: This would have been ve I guess I was. I

733
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,479
Speaker 1: went to visit her for like a week or two

734
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: and um Oprah called and I just happened to be

735
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: in town. So they just picked me up on a

736
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,479
Speaker 1: limo and I had to go shopping at the Gap

737
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: and Aaron's mom had to pick out all the clocks.

738
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: I had nothing to wear, so Aaron's mom dressed me

739
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: for the appearance. I'm so uncomfortable, it's awful. But anyway,

740
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: the reason I was on Oprah was because I at

741
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: that point was receiving I don't know how many thousands

742
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: of letters a week, and it was put me in

743
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: the upper category because you know, that's what the team

744
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: magazine is. Basically at the back of the team magazine

745
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: would give out a fan mail, a fan address, so

746
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: for fans to write to me. UM, and you know

747
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: there was I would say, like until the second season,

748
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,720
Speaker 1: I was reading all of them, probably by third or fourth,

749
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: it was getting overwhelmed and I couldn't read them. I

750
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: also started feeling very uncomfortable with how with reading them.

751
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: It didn't make me feel good. You know, at first

752
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god, somebody reaches out to

753
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: me because they and then it starts to feel more

754
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: and more alienating, like I'm I'm always going to let

755
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: these people down, like you know, I'm not gonna be

756
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 1: able to write at a letter back that's eloquent or

757
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: what they really want. They just want a connection with me.

758
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: And I started making me feel very uncomfortable. Um so, yeah,

759
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: so I end I ended up. I'm sure a lot

760
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: of listeners out there have because I've seen people tweet

761
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: this or instagram that there. I started sending out a

762
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: post a postcard, assigned postcard that um you know, it

763
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: was a pre signed thing. It was like there was

764
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: actually a company. You guys remember there were fan mail

765
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: companies that would receive the fan mail for you and

766
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: send out postcards. Um So I ended up doing that.

767
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: So I'm sure a lot of our listeners somewhere. I

768
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: still have one of those postcards me with sitting on

769
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: a stool or an apple box and uh, yeah. That

770
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: that ended up being my response. I remember um somebody

771
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: telling me once and it is always stuck with me.

772
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: They said, when it comes to your fan mail, answer

773
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: them all or don't answer any don't do anything in

774
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: tween um, and I always thought that was kind of

775
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: that was an interesting way to look at it, where

776
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: it's like, I mean, now, you would never get letters.

777
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: You just get emails or tweeted out whatever. I get

778
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: letters all the time. Do you like actual handwritten letters?

779
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: Handwritten letters? Is it a fan site kind of thing

780
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: or no? Is it's your home? No? Thank god? No

781
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: sack stuff to my home occasionally. When when we first

782
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: started getting fan mail, I also read them all and

783
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: then responded to all of them. And I in ninety three,

784
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: so one of the things I did before I started

785
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: acting in So. I started acting when I was ten,

786
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 1: two years before I got Boy Meets World, and before that,

787
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: I was in gymnastics. One time I called myself a gymnast,

788
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: and my mom looked at me and she said, you

789
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: were in gymnastics. You were not a gymnast, And she's correct.

790
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: I was not a gymnast. I was just in gymnastics.

791
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: But when I decided I wanted to be an actor.

792
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: My mom was like, well, you can't do both, because

793
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: gymnastics was after school, and like, you're going to be

794
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: going to auditions, you have to pick. And I said,

795
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: I definitely want to be an actor. I want to

796
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: go to auditions. So I stopped doing gymnastics. And I

797
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: got a letter in like ninety three from a young

798
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: girl and she included pictures of herself in it, and

799
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: she was in gymnastics, and she wrote me this handwritten

800
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: letter about you know that she was a fan. And

801
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: I wrote her back, and then she sent me another letter,

802
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: and we started this correspondence back and forth, and I

803
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: felt very close to her. And one of the things

804
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 1: she talked about regularly was that both of her parents

805
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: died when she was young, and she lived with her

806
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 1: older brother. And at some point maybe in the second

807
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: letter she wrote me, she included a picture of her brother,

808
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: a couple of pictures of her brother, and her brother

809
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: was several years older, good looking guy and um, and

810
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 1: she was always talking about, like, thank God for my brother,

811
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: because without my brother, like you know, I don't have

812
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: parents and and you know, I don't know what I

813
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: would do without him. And then we started, but she

814
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: included her phone number in one of the letters, and

815
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, let's give her a call. And

816
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: realize my mom is participating in me writing back. She's

817
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: reading all these letters as well, and she's aware of

818
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: what I'm writing, and she's reading what this girl is

819
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: writing to me. And my mom is like, yeah, this

820
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: girl seems like you guys would be friends, you know.

821
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: So I call her and I get her voicemail, but

822
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: it is not her. It's her brother's voicemail because it's

823
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: his house. They live in an apartment together. But her

824
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: name isn't anywhere on the voicemail. It's just like, Hi,

825
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 1: you've reached. She doesn't exist. The call is coming from

826
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: within the house. It wasn't until the guy pretending to

827
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: be a girl. Guy pretending to be a girl. And

828
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: the way it all came out is because I kept

829
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: calling her and she then would never you know, and

830
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: I left my phone number and she wouldn't call me back.

831
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: And then we got a letter from her brother saying

832
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: that she had died, and my mom woke up in

833
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: the middle of the night and was like, like, she

834
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: never she never existed. It's always been him. And then

835
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: he started showing up at my school and telling people

836
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: to a fan mail. This is like the first Talker

837
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: dipped your toe in the pool and an alligator bit

838
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: your foot off. Well, this is why you have to

839
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: have clear boundaries. It's really hard. I mean, like, you know,

840
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's such a tricky thing fame and

841
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: and dealing with and even nowadays it must be even

842
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: crazier for really famous people. I mean, I don't you

843
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: just have to create boundaries. It's so hard. I had

844
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: girls calling my house when when I was like eleven

845
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: and twelve. Girls would find my coup was listed in

846
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,479
Speaker 1: the phone book my parents were and so girls would

847
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: call and like, back then, I would like meet up

848
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: with them. Oh god, because it was it was before

849
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: boy Me's world. This is when I was like on

850
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: Home improvement or I had done local plays or whatever.

851
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: Girls would call the house and like I would meet

852
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: them at our arcade play video. Super awkward. Like but

853
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: you know at the time, I was just like, oh

854
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: you like me, you saw me the TV show. Okay,

855
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: I'll be your friend. Let's hang out right. More people

856
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: have a crush on YouTube, and in retrospect it's like, no,

857
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 1: you have to create boundaries. I really I remember going

858
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: out with Ben right during the first season and he

859
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: got recognized, I guess for Little Monsters, and it was

860
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't for Boy Meets World yet, but we're at

861
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: the Glendale Galleria, I want to say, or one of

862
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: those early malls in in l a And and he

863
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: got recognized. And I really learned from him how to

864
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: manage that moment because he was so confident. He was

865
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: so gracious and thankful and signed whatever these kids wanted.

866
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: And I remember watching him and being like, Oh, that's

867
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: the way to do it, because at that point I

868
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: would if I got recognized, I'd be like, oh, my god,

869
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 1: you know me from my TV show. That's so cool.

870
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: What's your name? Do you want to go hang out you?

871
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: I would just not create any boundaries because to me,

872
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: it was so exciting that somebody would recognize me. But

873
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: of course, when you become a professional actor, professional famous person,

874
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: you have to learn how to take in his stride

875
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: and and be like, yes, it's good to meet you.

876
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: It's so nice. I understand you from my show, and

877
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, shake hands and take a picture or sign

878
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: an autograph, but um, you know, it's not, it's it's

879
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: not a chance for you to freak out too. When

880
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: I was when I was eleven or twelve, I had

881
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: a older executive at Nickelodeon scare the hell out of me. Um.

882
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean you remember you know those shows where they're

883
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 1: like they bring kids into prison and scare them straight.

884
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: Essentially what this guy did to me being famous. Oh yeah,

885
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: he sat me down and he said, you know, you're

886
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 1: gonna start getting letters, and you're gonna start getting calls,

887
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 1: and you don't know who you're talking to. But it worked.

888
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: Like it worked. We just put up the boundaries and

889
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: we're did the same thing. Had a a friend of

890
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: our family who I had grown up with was her

891
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: mother had retired to Florida and was like, let's let's

892
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, let me take care of your fan mail.

893
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: So we would send out the postcards and do all

894
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: that same kind of stuff. But I mean, you know,

895
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: you would get really weird letters. I mean from the

896
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: strangest one. I It was rare though, I mean you

897
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 1: always say was a blanket. Statements are awesome, Fans are

898
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: incredibly respectful and like, you know, but it's the fear

899
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 1: of that one in a million that isn't all stable,

900
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: or it's going to lie to your protector that's very sexual,

901
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: like very openly sexual, or I mean again, I had

902
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: the might still say my weirdest one I ever got

903
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: when people because this is a good this is a

904
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 1: question people always give you, like what's the strangest piece

905
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: of family you ever got? And a woman I was

906
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: probably only second season boy so seventeen eighteen years old,

Speaker 1: had sent a wedding invitation with both of our names

908
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: on at the time and place, with the letter saying

909

Speaker 1: I'm married now and I have two kids. But if

Speaker 1: It was very So you can get some strangers, you're

915
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: right of the fans of the fans are amazingly respectful,

916
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: really nice, just love the show. Um, we would love

917
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: to talk and talk to you are really cool people.

918
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: But you you want you worry about the point one person. Yeah,

919
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean I remember David Colms, our studio teacher, being

920
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: the first person to really sit me down because I

921
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: was so confused by being famous, and he was like, writer,

922
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: you you're in their living room every week. There, You're

923
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: part of their family, you know. And I remember being like, oh,

924
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: because I hadn't grown up with TV, and so the

925
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: idea that like when you watch a TV show, especially

926
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: a TV show with a recurring family, uh, and that

927
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, you you do form this different bond that

928
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, than I had up until that point. I

929
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: never understood it. That comforting feeling that people get from

930
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: boy meets World, you know, and we're part of that

931
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: and our faces, our voices, and so when somebody meets

932
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: me that I've never seen before, I never met, they

933
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: have this level of like a media familiarity, and you know,

934
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: and that's just difficult to navigate. It's it's a weird

935
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: thing about media. Yeah. Is there a story behind Corey

936
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: and Shawn's handshake? Writer? Yeah, So we had a day. Um, yeah,

937
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: it was really great, you know. I mean I talked

938
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: about how Ben and I didn't connect the first week

939
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: of the show or the pilot of the show, because

940
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, he was into sports and one on he

941
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: was from l A. Actually he was from Chicago, but

942
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: He was definitely like living in l A at that point,

943
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: probably for three or four years too. You know, in

944
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: my mind, being in Northern California's snob like I was.

945
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: Everything about l A was awful. Um, So I we

946
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: just didn't get along that well. We didn't connect even

947
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: though we were working together until I guess probably right

948
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: around where we're at right now in the shows, like

949
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: right around seventh or eighth episode. For some reason, I

950
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: can't remember why, we had a just school day together

951
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: where the show was shut down, and instead of meeting

952
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: on the set, I don't know why we couldn't meet

953
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 1: on the set. We had we went and met at

954
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: Ben's house and it was my first time at Ben's house,

955
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: and David Collins, or studio teacher, was there, and we

956
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: finally had like the greatest day ever. We just connected

957
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 1: and we had so much fun, and I remember laughing

958
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: and telling story. I think we must have we must

959
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: have had to make up hours, so it must have

960
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: been over a weekend. We were making up hours that

961
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: we had not banked or something, so we had to

962
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: do school work together and we just spent this whole

963
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: day together, and at some point during that day we

964
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 1: created this handshake and we decided it was our handshake.

965
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: It was writer and Ben's handshake. First, it was not

966
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: Corey Seawn. We did not have any intention for it

967
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: to be in the show. Um. And then we did

968
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: that episode I think it's where the uh blender explodes,

969
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: and we just did it during rehearsals. It was not

970
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: in the script. We were like, hey, let's we could

971
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: do our handshake after we achieved whatever it was in

972
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: the scene, and we did it for David Trainer, and

973
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: David Trayner was like, do that. Do that at the

974
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: run through. Don't tell them you're gonna do it, and

975
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: just do it, And we did at the run through

976
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: and it became a thing, and then we probably did

977
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: it three times over the course of the series. But yeah,

978
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: it was aha that we invented. Yeah, yeah, well there's

979
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: you know, I'll try and find video. Robin, who was

980
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 1: the second e d on Um on Girl Meets World,

981
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: took video of us when we had to do it

982
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: there when we rehearsing it, so they were playing it

983
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: back for us on a screen while you're but we

984
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: are I I can still remember it, I can still

985
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: feel it. Yeah, it was really a fun thing and

986
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: you know that that like doing a little dance at

987
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: the end, like that's classic bend. Like I'm sure he

988
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: came up with that. Yeah, um, yeah, it was our

989
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: it was our real friendship handshake before it became the

990
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: Corey Sean handshake. That's really cute. That like made me

991
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: emotional hearing it, because those are those are the moments that, like,

992
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: I really, um, that are the most meaningful for us.

993
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: That you know, people always think about the moments on set,

994
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: but they're they're it's so rare that the really special

995
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: moments actually took place on set that usually happened at

996
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: some other location, like that one was at Ben's house.

997
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: And so many of our moments actually, um that are

998
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: special to me took place at either Ben's house or

999
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: at your house where my mom would drop me off

1000
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: in the morning when you guys were able to drive

1001
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: and I wasn't able to drive, and I would then

1002
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: be at your house either before or after work. Um,

1003
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: and we had all those fun moments. So all those

1004
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: awkward driving moments, all those awkward driving moments. She was

1005
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: so stressed out understanding fifteen years old learners for you

1006
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: in the back seat. Oh my god, my most stressful

1007
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, driving with Ben and Ben's housekeeper who took

1008
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: us to work a couple of times and we'd be

1009
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: running late and she would drive down the center divider

1010
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:20,720
Speaker 1: and the media. I remember that, panicking, panicking, absolutely panicking.

1011
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: And you know Ben is So's he's a lot like Corey,

1012
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: but like he's explosive with his body. And I just

1013
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: remember him being seatbelted but like levitating out of his

1014
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: seat with fear of just like like thinking we ran

1015
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: over something. What was that? Was? I just one day

1016
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: because I vividly remember that experience, and you and I

1017
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 1: were both in the car. We were car pulling from

1018
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: Encino and it was raining and we were late, and

1019
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: she just pulled into the median and drove us full speed.

1020
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was terrifying. But I also other

1021
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: times drove with her, um and I I don't think

1022
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: you were there, there were she was a median driver.

1023
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: She like to drive down the center. Very funny. We

1024
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: have so many more of your questions that we want
