WEBVTT - Q&A Meets World Part 1 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:22.800 What's your favorite bad for you food? Will my favorite 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.120 restaurant in the world, And yes, it's a restaurant's McDonald's. 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:29.000 And that's why I don't eat much restaurant called Mickey 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:32.400 Donald Mickey Donald McDonald. I love it. I love it 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:36.040 to death. And I told writer that my favorite burger 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.440 is a McDonald's burger. And writer then told me about 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.600 a place that I have yet to try. But it's 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.880 like the you know, probably way cleaner version of a 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.319 McDonald's burger. Hipster. It's hipster. It's in Silver Lake. It's 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.600 called Burger's Never Say Die, and it's unbelievable. Can I 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:57.200 ask the last time you had at McDonald's burger? Writer me, Yeah, 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.680 I've had McDonald's. And my Indie loves McDonald's. So, like 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.560 when we're on a road trip and we have to 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.520 stop for fast food, which is usually when I eat 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.640 fast food, Um, we'll get a McDonald's. I'll do that 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:08.200 over an in and out. I'm not an in and 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.880 out guy. I haven't in out burgers, but not the fries. 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.959 I don't like the fries. Fries are bad, but burgers 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:16.840 I get it protein style too. I love the crunch 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.080 of the lettuce. Big fan of that. I love crunchy lettuce. 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:24.760 I've been really into making sandwiches lately, and just like 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.280 a homemade sandwich. By the way, when I was a kid, 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.520 I don't know how my mom how it was even possible, 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.959 because I've tried to do it now it's not really easy. 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:33.959 But my mom used to draw a heart in the 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.000 peanut butter. She'd make me a peanut butter and jelly 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.280 sandwich and she draw she draw a heart in the 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.399 peanut butter, and then I think she just very lightly 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.360 put the bread together. But I remember being in elementary 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.480 school and being able to slowly peel apart the sandwich 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.880 to see the port, to see whatever portion of the 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.840 heart was still left in the peanut butter. Isn't that sweet? 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:54.640 I know? And then it made me think about the 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.560 fact that, like, I don't include enough my My mom 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.120 used to leave me a note in my lunch occasionally, 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.120 and I loved the notes. And so for Adler's third birthday, 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.000 I dropped him off at school and I put a 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.920 little note in there, and I was like, he can't read. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.640 This is gonna mean anything? What am I doing? Sometimes 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.639 I I I give indie notes every once in a while, 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.600 and back when he was in preschool the teachers would 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.560 read them too. Was just aware that somebody's going to 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.040 read it to him. There's a Simpsons episode where Lisa 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.080 and Bart are coming up at lunch and Lisa says, 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.320 I I Bart says, I think I got your lunch, 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.480 and she takes it over and the note says I'm 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.119 so proud of you. I love you, and she goes, yeah, 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.880 I got yours, and the note says, be good. For 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.440 the love of God, be good, and that was great. Yeah. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.240 I'm also not going to tell you that when I travel, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.239 my wife puts together a snack bag and puts a 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.440 note in it for me. My God, that's cute. When 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.040 when Jensen and I were dating, uh and he'd go 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.360 on a trip somewhere I would leave, I would write 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.760 a little little notes, like on a like I post it, 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.760 I'd rip a post it into three and write three 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.360 little notes are just like I love you, and hide 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:56.880 one in the brim of his hat and one in 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:01.919 a saw. We awesome. I love doing that stuff. Well, 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:08.239 writer custom build his wife's wedding rings so exactly tells 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.840 you everything about our relationship, you make the gesture and 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.320 then you forget about it. I mean, I don't minding 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.600 the metal. I don't leave those notes in Jensen's hats anymore. 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.240 I have two children to take care of, and you know, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:25.800 I feel like, truthfully, um, marriage right after kids is 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:30.320 absolutely takes a total backseat to now the children. And 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.200 like the good news is I am not in a 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.000 relationship where Jensen feels like once we had kids, she 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.920 stopped prioritizing me. Like Jensen so totally gets it that 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.800 for both of us, our children right now are like 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.760 the season of life we are in is just very 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.360 kids centric, and there will be a time where we 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.840 get back to like our relationship being in the hierarchy, 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.280 but right now it's kind of like the biggest bonding 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.119 experience we have is playing Octortal before we go to bed, 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.720 and that's about definitely, like, you know, if you can 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.560 have grandparents or somebody watch the kids, I would definitely like. 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.680 Taking taking each other out to dinner is like something 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.440 Alex and I have always made essential. It's like, you know, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.000 every couple of weeks, at every stage, it was like 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.280 because because we were fortunate enough that my in laws 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.240 are local you know, in l A, no one has grandparents, 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.240 so like all of our friends, you know, they have 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:21.960 to hire babies that if they're going out or whatever. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.160 But we're so lucky. My in laws moved from Florida 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.000 when Indy was born, and so we've always been able 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.120 to just have nights out where it's just the two 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.440 of us and it's like so essential. I love that. Yeah, 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.120 that's why it's hard to and I that's one of 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.839 the reasons why kids we love not It's just just 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.719 about us and we like that. I mean, it works 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.120 for us, it's perfect.

Now, 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.200 we wanted to check in with each other to say, 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.799 how are you feeling. How do you think this is going. 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.800 Moments that have made you uncomfortable, moments that have made 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.920 you really happy? Um, and so that's kind of where 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.279 we are right How are you feeling in this stage 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:04.039 of our journey. I feel like I jumped into what 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.159 I thought was like a shallow pool and it got 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.720 really deep, really quick. I we I feel like we 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.839 got in over our heads a little quicker than I 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.560 don't know, I guess. I guess. I thought the rewatching 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.559 would take more of a precedence than the conversations about 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.160 behind the scenes. But basically, after we started that first 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.200 episode and the memories just kept coming and the conversation 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.440 kept going in that direction because that is our experience 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.520 right is like we I remember backstage way more than 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.760 I remember the episodes themselves. So we just keep going 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.760 in that direction. And I can't believe how much material 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.200 there is already out there. Um and so I'm I, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.279 you know, I'm a little overwhelmed. I'm a little like, wow, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.000 I have I thought I'd processed all of this, but 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.960 obviously not. Um And yeah, so I still have a 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.720 lot of feelings and I'm still figuring it out. I 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.159 think the best part about this has been sharing it 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.880 with my son. That's been super fun and funny and 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.760 already led to interesting conversations about him and our relationship 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.160 that I like. Um not, you know, because what I 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.560 end up playing on the show is I edit down 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.640 from usually like a five to ten minute conversation, so 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.520 it's usually double what is on on this show. And 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.800 that's been super fun. Um but yeah, it's it's definitely 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.000 gotten deeper than I thought quicker. How about you guys, Um, Yeah, 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.480 I kind of feel the same way. I'm really loving, 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.560 first of all, a couple of things, Really loving seeing 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.200 the both of you as much as we I mean, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:30.760 we always saw each other, but now that it's like 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.480 a regular thing kind of there's a safety in doing 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.200 this with your friends. Um, so there's something that I 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.680 love about that. I also just absolutely adore bringing all 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.320 the guests back and getting to talk to everybody again 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.920 as adults, and also just the conversations of leading to 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.520 who else are we gonna bring on? Who else can 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.160 we get, who's gonna come? I mean, all that kind 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:51.640 of stuff is is a lot of fun for me. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.000 But yeah, I got very real, very quick, very quickly, 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.760 and I'm okay with that. I think it's I think 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.800 it's you know, we one of the things that we 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.840 has talked about was we were going to start this 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.800 show and then we were going to let the show 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.800 kind of dictate what it became. We were gonna, you know, 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:11.119 just keep it very very loose and see where it went, 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.160 uh and go from there. And once Tony Quinn came 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.720 up with the idea of actually making the show and 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:23.240 we were able to kind of move he came up 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:24.840 with it. He was really he came up with it 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.080 after and um, I thank him for it every day. 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:34.200 And he invented podcast he did, so. Um yeah, so no, 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.160 it's it's been It's been a ton of fun. I've 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.880 I've really enjoyed it. It's I know this sounds ridiculous. 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.160 It's been a lot more work than I thought it 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.960 was going to be, if that makes any sense, which 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:48.400 is mentally draining, mentally draining, time consuming, actual work. I mean, 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.840 there's it's there's a lot of work people are It's like, oh, 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.440 you stead in front of microphone, you talk. Well, now, 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.280 there's a lot that goes on because we want to 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.920 be kind of involved in every aspect of the show. 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:02.080 So um, but it's, uh, it's it's it's been fun, 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.600 but it's been a lot more emotional than I thought 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.000 it was gonna be. Yeah, I think, um to your 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.600 point will about the time consuming nous of it. I 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.600 think one of the things that I'm surprised by that 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:18.080 I shouldn't really have been surprised by, is just how much, 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.800 um I enjoy talking about all of the little moments 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.320 for each one of us, and how long we must 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.120 find ourselves endlessly entertaining. I hope you guys find us 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.839 entertaining too, because I am amazed when two hours go by. 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.160 I am truthfully like two hours go by and I 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.000 go I feel like I've been here for forty minutes. 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.960 And by the way, if I wasn't worried about you 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.560 guys listening not wanting to have a three hour episode, 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.120 I could still sit here and keep discussing things. And 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.920 so I am. I'm like that in that sense. There's 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.600 been so much to discuss and I've enjoyed all of it. Um, 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.080 And it is time consuming to watch the episode, write 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.200 the notes, uh, think about the memories, and then you know, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.360 be present in the conversation and want to listen to 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:04.920 what everybody else's stories are. Um. I'm I'm selfishly very 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.559 excited to get into some episodes that I'm in because 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.920 I feel a little like, you know, I'm getting to 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.200 comment on on a show that doesn't even feel at 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:15.720 all like I'm a part of it. Yet. You know, 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.520 I did think in that episode with Will's first on 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.319 screen kiss with Carrie Russell, I thought it was funny. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:23.719 I didn't say it in the time when we did 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.600 the episode, but I'm remembering it now that it's funny 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.800 that Corey doesn't even make any mention of the fact 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.120 that he has also kissed a girl, and I that's 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:32.840 one of the things that makes me think. You guys 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.720 may have reported that episode before that, because he makes 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.160 a joke about Eric maybe what having kissed two girls, 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:40.559 and I thought I would have almost been funnier for 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.240 him to be like, I've kissed the same amount of 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.360 girls you have, you know, like just but he didn't 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:46.959 even acknowledge it, So I feel like maybe that was 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.680 even before I was there. So selfishly, I'm looking forward 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.440 to getting into some episodes where I'm there, because, um, 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.440 I can't wait to critique myself in those ways. We 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.960 can't wait to critique you either. Oh, it's gonna be 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.960 so fun. Have you ever wanted to see us do 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.400 this nonsense we do with all the talking and the 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.360 talky talky and the talking talking live, Well, guess what 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.680 we are doing that.

I refused to call myself a 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:57.840 child actor until maybe like five years ago. I could not. Yeah, 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.760 I intentionally avoided the phrase I was a child actor, 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.079 or I would find ways around it. I would say, oh, 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.120 and I I acted when I was a kid, or 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.640 you know I used to act. I started acting when 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.080 I was young. For whatever reason, I became obsessed at 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.400 post boy Mean's world immediately with not acknowledging my identity 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.760 as this thing, and it was so weird. In college 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:23.920 I became UM. I became friends with Joshua Waitskin, who 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:31.640 um is the child prodigy that uh UM Searching for 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.640 Bobby Fisher is based on. He was a chess player 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.000 and he was ach so his dad wrote the incredible 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.680 book It's a wonderful book by Fred Waitskin UM called 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.319 Searching for Bobby Fisher, which then became a pretty good movie. UM. 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.360 But and when we were in college, he mentioned that 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.160 he hated the phrase child prodigy. He couldn't stand and 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.920 I was like, why that's such a compliment, It's so awesome, 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.640 And but I then on the flip side, I had 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.840 to acknowledge I hated child actor, which to me seemed 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.480 like more derogatory. But for him, even child prodigy, which 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.640 I thought of as a compliment, he could only see 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.240 it as diminishing because it was like either he you know, 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.000 he wanted to be a grown up prodigy or whatever 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.880 that you know, you wanted to just be acknowledged for 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.960 doing a thing, and maybe you started it early, but 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.400 it was clear that we were both going through the 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.160 same psychological process for you know, very different reasons. But 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.040 uh yeah, so when we were talking about this show, 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:28.079 this podcast, it's really something that would have been literally 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.640 impossible for me to think about five years ago when 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.800 I couldn't even say the phrase child actor. Now I'm like, 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.120 I was a kid actor was crazy, you know, like, 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.800 and I can own it. But um so, even just 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.760 like the fact that we're having these kinds of conversations, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.840 we were really diving deep and being completely honest is 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.199 only possible as a forty plus year old for me, Yeah, 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.400 I also avoided child actor. And I think it's for 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.760 a few reasons. One, it's a very loaded um phrase. 0:13:54.840 --> 0:14:01.000 It it also implies somehow, um, possibly you know, messed up, 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:06.320 possibly a drug addict, possibly you know caught up. Doesn't 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.520 actually that's what That's what's interesting is that it doesn't 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.520 it did to you or does you know? That's what 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.280 you're afraid of, But that's actually not the case. Like 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.800 just it's literally child actor. It's a it's a neutral description, 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.120 but I think what it does by adding the child 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.000 to it, it diminishes that you were an actor, right 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.640 Like it somehow creates an identity that's different than doing 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.520 a thing like you didn't just act, you were a 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.240 child actor. It's an identity that's sort of like handed 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.360 to you, I don't know well. And also then it 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.480 has the feeling of when you are no longer a child, 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.120 it is taken away from you that now you've outgrown 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.640 a thing. Now you're no longer special because you're no 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.400 longer a child. And so you have that feeling of like, well, 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.840 am I not still good at what I do? Or 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.840 am I not still an actor because I'm no longer 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.680 a child? But I do think when people talk about, well, 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.080 how did you know child actor? For a lot of people, 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.640 it is weightier than just the description. I know, the 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.320 words mean you were an actor who was a child fild, 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.080 but it also does have that sense of like, so 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.960 there must be a problem with you because you were 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.040 a child actor, because it does. I don't know, maybe 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.760 that is just me, but I feel like most people 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.680 think of it that way. I never called myself a 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.040 child actor, and and it wasn't it wasn't conscious. I 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:16.880 was just I was always an actor and that I 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.800 still and then be like, oh kay, really you're an actor. Ye, 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.840 I'm an actor. Oh when did you start? I was like, oh, man, 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.640 I started when I was a kid. I was really young. 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.440 But I was never like and I was a child actor. 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.560 It just I mean, see it's different for you writer, 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.520 because you're not an actor anymore. Where I'm you know, 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.800 I'm still acting, So it was kind of like, I'm 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.200 an actor and it's like, oh, well, well when I 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:36.640 was young, I was on this, and when I was 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.200 in my twenties and I was on this and I 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:39.920 do a lot of voice over, like it was never 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.880 I never put it in a category. And I think 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.400 there is kind of like that. We we've we've talked 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:46.960 about this a number of times, were coming in the 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.840 early nineties who were coming off the eighties child actor, 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.280 which did have that kind of negative connotation around it, 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:57.560 were that's what you did. You peeked at at seventeen, 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.160 You then robbed the liquor store, you did that. What 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.920 happened when you were, you know, acting in the eighties. Um, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.200 and I think it we hit a different kind of 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.400 version of quote unquote child actors and the child actor 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.480 in the nineties. I mean, we we just did. And 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.520 so I yeah, I don't know. I'd never referred to 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.440 myself as a child actor. I was always just an actor. 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.120 And then what's funny isn't in the last And my 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:20.520 wife calls me on this every once in a a while, 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.040 she's like, I wish you would stop doing that for 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.800 the last Like, I don't know, eight nine years. I 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.640 always tell people I do cartoon voices. They're like, what 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.320 do you do for a living? I do? I go, oh, man, 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.240 I do animation or I'm a voice over actor. Like 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.200 that's always what I've called myself. So I have no 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.160 problem for some reason putting myself in that category. But 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.600 I never once called myself a child actor. I don't 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:44.320 know why. Well, here we are three child actors about 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:49.280 to go through and talk about some of your most 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.440 frequently asked questions that we've gotten since we started the podcast. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.560 One of them is a very simple one, which is 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.400 what's the podcast schedule? How many times a week are 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.360 we going to get to hear the podcast? Or maybe 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.120 you're asking stop overloading us with podcasts? I don't know, 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.800 but you want to know, slow down? Why are we 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:10.360 getting to a week? Um? Our podcast schedule is one 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.200 a week, unless we are lucky enough to have a guest, 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.159 which we've had a lot of guests lately. If we 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.080 are lucky enough to have a guest, then you will 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:22.960 get two episodes in a week, and UM, that's now, 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:29.200 we'll give you a third. Um. Will there be a 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:33.439 YouTube channel for the podcast as of right now? The 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:37.480 answer is no, maybe somewhere down the line, who knows, 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.640 we could eventually. We are recording this um mostly for audio. 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.119 It's not we're recording it because it's great video of 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.719 us or anything. It's mostly just because it helps us 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.359 with recording audio and we like to have it for 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.400 our social posts. UM. But As of right now, we're 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.840 not recording it for video. It's just audio, so but 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.159 who knows, in the future, maybe we'll we'll leave that 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:01.000 window open. Now, this is a question for you too. 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:02.959 I have kind of a boring answer for it, so 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.960 I'm going to go last, But did you keep any 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.959 props or items from the Boy Meets World set? Right? 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.320 And you want to start? Yeah, So I well, we 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.840 we Actually, I think I did end up trading, not 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.200 a bunch, but some clothing at the end of the 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.440 last season. UM Disney would allow. The Disney only cared 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.480 that certain clothes stayed because they would keep them in 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:26.920 a warehouse for I don't know how many years. I 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.280 don't think they're still there. But they didn't want to 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.520 keep the clothes, but they would never check if it 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.520 was the specific jacket, specific shirt. So our wardrobe people 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.080 let us come in and trade, so as long as 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:39.840 we brought in a jacket. So I went and bought 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.560 a leather jacket that I had worn that was very 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.959 similar to the Shawn jacket, but it was mine, and 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.199 then I brought it in and traded it for Shawn's 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.280 actual leather jacket. And I did that with some other 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:53.240 clothes too, But for about two years post Boy Meets World. 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.080 A year and a half post Boy Meets World, I 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:56.760 had that leather jacket. I wore it in New York. 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.480 But then I was living in Brooklyn and Williamsburg and 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.199 Mike Heart I've broken into. I came out, I came 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.840 out from my apartment and my car's window was broken 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.640 and the alarm was going off, and my jacket was gone. 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.480 So yeah, someone stole the leather jacket out of my 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.280 car in Brooklyn. Um. The other thing I have is 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:19.480 there's a painting of Robert Nighthawk that was in the college. 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:24.560 What was it called the main common common room? Okay, 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:25.879 what was it? I mean I had to have it. 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.320 Actually it had a name. It had a name. It 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.919 was the Oh my gosh, it's gonna dry me. It 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.920 wasn't just a common room. It was there was something else, lounge, 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.360 college lounge. I don't know anyway, the right above, like 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:41.720 one of like the I think it's right at where 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.680 the pool table was. At some point there was a 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.080 original painting. I forget who it's actually by, but it's 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.840 an artist who does musicians. He paints musicians and with 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:57.040 their name underneath the student union. Was it the student union? 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.560 Thank you? That's from Easton, thank you east In our 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:04.760 engineer and okay, yeah, so in the student union there 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:06.560 was a painting. Anyway, I took that painting the last night. 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.000
