And from there I went on Craigslist and 113 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: I posted um to design one free room for anyone 114 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: who would allow me into their home. I designed the 115 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: room for free, as long as they pay for the merchandise. 116 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: And that's how I built a book, a portfolio.

Now what did all this happened? Did I 175 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: miss all this? This was happening before you met me. No, off, 176 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: this was all happening through you. I mean, this is 177 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: another thing I think. You know again when we talk 178 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: about making opportunities happen. So when we were on the 179 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: Steve Harvey Show, every time Oprah came, faith Will, faith Hell, 180 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: or Halle Berry, First Lady Michelle Obama, every time they came, 181 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: I was giving a budget to design a special green 182 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: room for each one of them. I would take those 183 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: red and I would spend my own money, and I 184 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: would hire a photographer to photograph each room. And then 185 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: once I got an opportunity, I would come and I 186 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: would ask that celebrity if they enjoyed the space, and 187 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: that little sentence that they told me, I would take 188 00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: that and I would use it as a quote. I 189 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: would never forget. Oprah, I asked her, and I had 190 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: to go ask her, I said, you know, to that. 191 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: I couldn't get that close to her. It was time. 192 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: I said, you know, did you like your room? And 193 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: she was like, oh my gosh, what was that? That's 194 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: a quote? You put that on your website and you know, 195 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: so it's one of those you have to work the 196 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: angles that you have and that's how I made that happen. Well, 197 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's one when you know.

So when 354 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: they shoot me a trailer about your show about what 355 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: people are buying houses are renovating houses where people either 356 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: were murdered in or dying in, I went, wow, I've 357 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: been sitting on this idea for years. This was the 358 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: craziest thing I think. I have not even think that 359 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: the craziest thing I've ever worked on. As a matter 360 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: of fact, when my manager called me to say, hey, 361 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: you know you have an audition for Murder House Flip, 362 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: I'm like, what is this?

But 364 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: like the EP of the show, he called me, he's 365 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: trying to convince me that it's a real show. And 366 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: until they booked my plane fair, I didn't really think 367 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: this was real. But it's a legiti show. Um it's 368 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: myself and a co host, UM my coach with Joel. 369 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: The two of us, we go into homes where people 370 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: have you know, have the iconic murders have absolutely murders? Yes, 371 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean the first episode of This Lady you know, 372 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: so it was an elderly woman who killed seven people 373 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: by you know, poisoning them so that she could take 374 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: their social Security check. So and she buried them in 375 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: her front yard. So it's it's creepy.

That's that's 379 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: why I love the show. That's I'm kind of mad 380 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: and half at the same time because I'm mad because 381 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: I watched all these homemakeover shows I love them.

Yeah, 392 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: I'm laughing because you look so wimping when you said that, 393 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,479 Speaker 1: because you were really going down those steps fast. You 394 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: were going and she's a taller person house and she's 395 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: taller than you too, so you you're running out those 396 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: steps real fast. And let's let's let's talk about because 397 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: you talk about being interviewed. And here's the funny part 398 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: about it, because you gotta give a d or for 399 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: anything that you do, whether you believe in it or not. 400 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: So when you go when you got the opportunity to 401 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: go down an interview, who did you interview with? And 402 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: what did your interview consist of? Which? Michale Welch his 403 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: new show, Uh, Murder House Flip. It's on the Quimby 404 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: network and uh it's a short form show. Correct? What 405 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: how long is it? Each episode is less than six minutes, 406 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: So six minute episodes that are on your telephone, really 407 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: quick and easy. Okay, cool? Now, how did you audition 408 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: for this? Um? So, I flew into l A I 409 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: met at the Sony lot. The show is produced by 410 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: the parent company of Sony, and we kind of had 411 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: what they call chemistry tests and for those who don't know. 412 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: That's when they put a couple of different hosts together 413 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: and so it's, uh, it's kind of like a group interview, 414 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: and so your personality just has to shine. And so 415 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: me and my current co host, Joel, we just kind 416 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: of hit it off. Basically, what they do is they 417 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: put an image of a house up on the wall 418 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: and we have to look at a room and we 419 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: have to kind of tell them together collectively what we 420 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: would plan to do or how we re envisioned this 421 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: house and so that so you you were with a stranger, yes, 422 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: and you have to improve that moment absolutely. You know, 423 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: in that moment you have to act like, you know, 424 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: hey Joel, you know we typically do X, Y and Z, 425 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: but today we're gonna do this. So we have to 426 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,479 Speaker 1: go into you know, that moment, act like do this 427 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: all the time, and you roll with it. Okay. So 428 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: what is her background? Um? You know, honestly, Joel is 429 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: a high end um residential designer in Beverly Hills. So 430 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: this is her first time doing television, so she's never 431 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: done it before. So this was huge for her too. 432 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: And so and so both of you guys go in 433 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: and we talk about the show. Now, how many episodes 434 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: did you guys take their six minutes long on the 435 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: quick at work murder house flip? How many did you 436 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: take now in six minutes? Do a hundred? How many jump? 437 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: But the way it works is we each house and 438 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: six minutes excuse me? Each house has three episodes. So 439 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: you kind of have like the true crime in the 440 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: beginning kind of the meeting potatoes, of the game plan 441 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: of how we're gonna design the space, and then the 442 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: third episode is to reveal and so that each house 443 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: has three episodes, and I think that's great for the 444 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: people who like true crime. You have a whole episode 445 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: that's dedicated to, you know, the still the background story 446 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: of what happened in the house. So you feed me 447 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: alone the way you feed me with my my addiction 448 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: to true crime, you know what I'm saying. Then you 449 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,239 Speaker 1: feed my addiction to make over how you gonna make 450 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: it over? And then you feed my addiction to the 451 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: results now now and then and do you talk about 452 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: obviously these crimes where they were, are these crimes resolved? 453 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: Are they still like looking for the killers or what's 454 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: going on with these crimes? Well, most of them have 455 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: been resolved. You know, we have a combination. So the 456 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: interesting thing about this show is, you know, honestly a 457 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: lot of people move into these houses because the first 458 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: thing you ask, like, why woult you take the house? Well, 459 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: if you have a house that's on the market, you know, 460 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: for let's say six hundred thousand dollars, but then come 461 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: to the house next door and it's gone for three 462 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars, you might just take it because of 463 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: the price. But um so some people willingly know, but 464 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: there's a significant difference in the price, and they're okay 465 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: with it at first. And then you also have some 466 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: who purchased these homes and like the mid nineties who 467 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: did not know because we didn't have Google. So unless 468 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: you're looking on a microphees, you would not know that 469 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: a parayer happened until your next door neighbor comes and 470 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: tells you after you purchased the house. And so that's 471 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: where you're running to the problem. They're not gonna do 472 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: with a preacher, you know, not knock knock now. Uh. 473 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: People died and there was a identity of drinking some 474 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: liquids exactly. And those are the cases where your baby room, 475 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: your baby room upstairs. Who's a murder on mass murder 476 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: in your baby room upstairs? They didn't tell you about 477 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: that exactly exactly. You know, when you put your dinner plates, 478 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: the four heads up there, they put them in a row, 479 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: four heads in a row where you got your denter 480 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: plates right there. So about just take you on the 481 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: two of the disaster or your home after you purchased it. 482 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I'll be honest with you, you know, Um, 483 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: I joke and laugh about it, but some horrific crimes 484 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: really happen, and you'll see them, you know, in the 485 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: next couple of Let me tell you something.

I have to be able to joke. 487 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: If you made a decision to go into a house 488 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: where you know murders have occurred, you can become the 489 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: butt of my joke. I'm sorry. And you cannot sit 490 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: up there acting like you are fearful now when the 491 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: price tag was not fearful. That's all I'm saying. My 492 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: whole thing is my whole thing is that. That's why 493 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: I love the show. That's why these people, you know, 494 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: they always show these people doing the real looking at 495 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: the shock. I can't believe that they really happened, you knew, Dad, 496 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 1: Like you said, house next doing six hundred thousand, Your 497 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: house a hundred and fifty thousand look exactly the same 498 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: as the house next door. You're going, what's the problem 499 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: where you're exactly in the front yard where the roses, like, uh, 500 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: eight people were buried there? Are you you still want 501 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: to move in? Yeah? Yeah, we definitely had that. Means 502 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: one case where a gentleman chopped up his wife and 503 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: like he was boiling her body part on the on 504 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: the stove, and that the neighbors smelled that and called 505 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: the police. And so it's this and and people complain 506 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: about Chidlin's, people complain about the smell of chikay really 507 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: now that. But you know the thing about it is 508 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: that that's why I like the show. I like the 509 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 1: show because of the fact that it's different. You're combined 510 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: to genres in an unusual manner. Now let's talk about this. 511 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: Now you're flipping this house. What does that mean? The 512 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: murder house flip? What does that mean? So it's not your's, 513 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: So first let me give this disclaimer. So the people 514 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: aren't selling the houses of words flip? Is us flipping 515 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: it into something that's tops and if it's really what 516 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: the connotation is. And um, we come in and we 517 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: strictly work on the room that's been affected. Um. But 518 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: the thing about that is when we redesign it, we 519 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: have to make it look completely different. So this is 520 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: not just oh, put acute sulfa in the room. So 521 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: we're like tearing down walls or ripping our fireplaces. So 522 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: every time you see so when the when the homeowners 523 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: come back into that space, it needs to feel completely 524 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: different because we're trying to help them forget what happened. 525 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: Like we're pulling up lono liam tile and we're like 526 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: poor a solution that we can see the blood things 527 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: that has speken the room because a lot of so 528 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: we had to really go in and change these houses, um, 529 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: so that when they go into these room they look 530 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: drastically different. So seriously, you actually saw bloodstains absolutely and 531 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: the trailer there's we're in the bathroom and we um, 532 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: the family didn't remove the actual tub of the husband. 533 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: You know, I guess would have watched the residue or 534 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: whatever the blood. But but when we want to put 535 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: the linoleum back to the special solution that they use 536 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: in crimes things and you'll see it. We pour it 537 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: right on to the floor and the bubbles and you 538 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: can see it. It's gusting, right, And so that you 539 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: had to like redesign. Oh, absolutely, we had to gut 540 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: it completely. I mean it was it was more than 541 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: just the two of us. I mean we had a 542 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: team that would you know, come in and help us clean. Um, 543 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: but we had to gut the rooms and completely redesign them. 544 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: So you're even gonna see me with power tool. So okay, 545 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: because this is really interesting. So you said, the three 546 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: is a three six minutes segments for each episode or 547 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: each house flip. Just the first part is going to 548 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: be what happened there? Okay. The second part is you 549 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: guys are going in meeting the family that lives there. Correct, Okay, 550 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: did any of these family families have children? Yes? And 551 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: so I think the most interesting is going to be 552 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: our finale episode. Um, not to go into grave detail, 553 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: but the young lady who lived in the house, she 554 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: was a child when they first moved into the house. 555 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: Now as an adult, she's still affected by it and 556 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: doesn't like to even really go back to her parents 557 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: house anymore. And so that yeah, so they're children, that 558 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: they're definitely children involved. That's that's really I think that's 559 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: a lot to put on a child, you know, it is, 560 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: that's and I don't I don't think that's fair that 561 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: the parents need their behind They actually need to really 562 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: understand that that's a that's an emotional burden. Not only 563 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: for that, but I'm sure she was teached or bullied 564 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: when she went to school about that, because you're the 565 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: kids don't care. Kids they get, they get up on you, 566 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna use it. And they have a child to 567 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: live in that environment. Is really, like you said, as 568 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: an adult, she's affected by that, correct, Yeah, actually as 569 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: an adult. And you know in that scenario, they didn't know. 570 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: They didn't know in the nineties, like they didn't know. 571 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: But like you said, the neighbors came they to do 572 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: with the cookies and say, hey, you got the Johnson 573 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: house and they're like, what is the Johnson house? So 574 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: they didn't know, right, that's saying. Now, the executive producer 575 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: this show is from c s I.
