0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>You may know our guest today as the iconic voice

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>of Aladdin or as the one true love of DJ

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Tanner Steve Hale. We know him as the smartest man

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>in the room who reads novels in French for fun.

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Please welcome to the pod, actor, writer, producer, teenage heart

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>throb and our dear friend Scott Wenger.

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Yay, Hi Scotty, Hello, Geo.

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Hi really far away, you guys look much closer to

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 3>the screen.

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh well, I thought it was just so that we

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 4>could intentionally see all of the books behind you, because

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 4>you are such a smart man that you needed to

0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 4>make sure and.

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Show off all of your book which.

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Are probably these books twice right, and none.

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Of them are in English. So yes, it.

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.040
<v Speaker 3>Does look like a Kubrick shot behind us. I did

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Bob's podcast and it's like same. I look like like

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>a thousand yards away from the computer.

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 5>It's really weird.

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 4>It's like a big well, you do have a very

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 4>tiny head, which people aren't aware of.

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 5>People people don't know. It's like it's so small.

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 6>It's like a special talent you should put on your resume.

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 5>Tiny head.

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 6>It's a shrunken head.

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we are, we're doing this entire episode as if

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 4>you're a hobbit, So it's actually all force perspective.

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>So all right, it works out.

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Famous movie stars have big heads, like most celebrities like

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 3>big are famous for having big heads. So if you

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 3>have a small head, that's like a huge disadvantage I feel.

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 4>And by big heads, we don't just mean egotistical, we

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 4>do mean actual physically large heads.

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 5>You know, I don't have that. You know I'm humble.

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 6>You are very humble. You really are one of the

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 6>most time.

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 3>It's one of the great things about me. It's one

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 3>of the top ten best qualities that I have.

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 4>One of your top ten favorite things about you is

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 4>how humble you are?

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 5>Is my humility.

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 6>You're channeling Bob right about.

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 3>I think it's the last time I did one of

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 3>these was probably with Bob in this room, and and

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 3>he was He made the comments about how the office

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 3>and I was very sheepish about it because this used

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 3>to be a lawyer's office. We bought the house from

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 3>a lawyer, and I.

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.239
<v Speaker 2>All write a very lawyer, and you bought all the

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 2>books with you.

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 4>So in your spare time, you've become an expert in

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 4>what real estate law constitutions.

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, if you guys needed any advice.

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 6>By charge, we'll put you on retainer.

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 3>That's perfect. How are you guys? We haven't done this

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 3>in a long time, just like hung out.

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>No, no, we had well, the last time we saw

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>you was in Tampa right at nineties con.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, John's birthday party. It was that or was

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 3>it it.

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Was it was in September? Was before that?

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:06.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that was fun. Those things are those the

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 3>super fun. They're exhausted, like I'm I'm sick.

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 5>It's a great week for sure.

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 4>Well it's I mean it's fun like going and meeting

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 4>all the fans.

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean they get so we've been talking about on

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>the show, and.

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, with all of our interviews and John and

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 4>Dave and stuff, talking about like just how our fans

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 4>are so dedicated to the show and know everything about

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 4>the show, Like they things that that Andrey and I

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 4>have like I have no clue about, especially now that

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 4>we're rewatching the show. I'm like, wow, they correct things

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 4>all the time.

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>I feel very sheepish because sometimes they'll know so much

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 3>more than I ever knew about the show, you know,

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 3>and they remember every episode and then every once in

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 3>a while, someone will say something that I'm like.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm quite sure you're right about that, but let's just

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 5>go with it.

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't like to sure, right, but.

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, people, it's really cool. I always appreciate it.

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm never like annoyed. I'm never like when people are like,

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, Steve, I never like, I'm always very

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 3>i always get a kick out of it, and I'm

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 3>grateful for it and it's cool.

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 4>But that's just your wife saying that, right, like, so

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 4>it makes it like it's yeah, okay.

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, in fact, that's how I married her. She

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 3>won me in a contest.

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 5>Wow, it was a celebrity bachelor.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, it was a fantastic.

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>How does nineties con compare to all the Disney conventions

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>that you do as the voice of Aladdin.

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't go to any like Disney specific like conventions.

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Nineties con is a very specific thing. But the funny

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 3>thing is, okay, Aladdin came out in the nineties, and

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 3>so there's usually like it all comes to.

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>Get so it kind of counts for both.

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and so, like I've been to I guess two

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 3>of those nineties cons now, and.

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 4>Well sometimes they have like the voices from some of

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 4>the like the movies around Jody Benson and things like that.

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Right just went to It was like that. It was like,

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 3>it was really funny because I was wondering. I got

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 3>like anxious before it. I was like, are they gonna

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 3>sit me with the full House people or with the

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 3>Disney people?

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 5>And I didn't know.

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 3>And then they were so clever because I was the bridge,

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 3>like they had like all oh and then like the

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 3>whole full House group, and then just to my left

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 3>was I think Linda Lark who's the voice of Princess

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Jasmine and the Disney people on. So I was like

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 3>right in the middle of it all of the action.

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 5>That was nice.

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 6>That was planning.

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 5>It was better. It was yeah, it was good. It

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 5>was yeah. It was good planning on their part.

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 3>Because the only other nineties con I went to was

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 3>in right as the pandemic was starting to calm down,

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 3>and we all went to Hartford, Connecticut.

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 5>I didn't make it, that's right.

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 2>We did Hartford too, and that was the first.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 3>One, which was like crazy. There were so many people.

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 3>I think there was a lot of yeah stuff like

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 3>excitement because of the pandemic. Everybody just sitting.

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 2>At home and right, it was just good to be

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 2>like out in the world again.

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but none of my Aladdin people were at that one.

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 3>That was just us us full house guys.

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.359
<v Speaker 4>Just us is so speaking of I mean, we're going

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 4>back and rewatching the show from the beginning, so we

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 4>haven't we haven't gotten to Steve's arrival yet.

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh interesting season five. You started in season five if

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I record, you know.

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there was one. I did one episode as Steve Peters.

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 2>And I really I don't remember this.

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 3>Well you got you were so little, But do you

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.159
<v Speaker 3>remember the episode where DJ's going out on a date

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 3>with Steve Peters from school, and but she's supposed to

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 3>babysit for Michelle and Stephanie. So she Michelle and Stephanie

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 3>to the movie theater on the date, right right, and

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Kimmy works at the movie theater right right.

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 4>And which sneaks us in or something because it's like

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 4>an rated movie or something.

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Right, it's a movie, right right right, and.

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Peters just as doing the whole yawning arms around, you know,

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 3>like trying, yeah, J. And but the weird thing is

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 3>I never Then the next year they said, would you

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 3>mind coming back? Would you be interested in coming back

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 3>and being like a regular on the show and being

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 3>DJ's boyfriend Steve, and I was like, of course, And

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 3>it never even occurred to me that then I came

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 3>back and I was Steve Hale.

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 5>It was a whole different Steve.

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 3>But I think in the writer's minds, I was a

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 3>totally different guy. Like the guy that she went on

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 3>a date with, Steve Peters is just another Steve.

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. We do it.

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 4>We changed names on this show, like the mannequin's change outfits.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 2>You know it'sis name.

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 6>Cochrane went to Calis. Yeah, common changed, We changed.

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 4>Names, switch out actors that play characters and grandparents. It's

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 4>I think you're probably the same Steve. And they were like,

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 4>just make it Hale a.

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 5>Writer on the show, Boyd Hale. And so that's why. Yes,

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 5>I think they were like.

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>You're named after Boyd. I think, oh little baby Boyd.

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>So BOYD say, hey, I've been here five seasons. I

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>deserve to get my name one of.

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 5>The character named after me. Yeah exactly.

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, so I did one of Steve Peters and

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 3>then another fifty or whatever is Steve Pale.

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 4>What was it like auditioning for the show. Do you

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 4>remember actually auditioning or like.

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 3>It was one of those it's funny like to say it,

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 3>but I didn't really.

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 5>I didn't audition for it. I was working.

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 3>I was already part of like the Miller Boyett sort

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 3>of universe at that point, okay, And so the year

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 3>before I came on, I did that one episode of

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Steve Peters. I was on this series for them called

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 3>The Family Man that was like supposed to be like

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 3>a TGIF kind of show, right, but it was on CBS,

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.559
<v Speaker 3>which was weird. It wasn't part of the ABC TGIF.

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 3>And we did twenty two episodes of it, and it

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 3>got canceled or it got picked up and then canceled again.

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.319
<v Speaker 5>It was like a very weird story.

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 3>And then they asked me to come on and do

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 3>that one episode as Steve Peters, and then the following

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 3>year they asked me to come on and be Steve Hale,

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 3>like I never auditioned for it, which is always wow,

0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>that's the story of my life. I mean, not just

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 3>like incredibly weird lucky things happening to me with no effort,

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 3>but also but when I when there's a the stakes

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.239
<v Speaker 3>are high, like I suck at auditions.

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm really same same, you really hate them.

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I can't picture you. I just imagine you being graded

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 3>auditions both.

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>No, you're both CROs Jody's like.

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 4>I actually I miss auditions though, like going into a

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.839
<v Speaker 4>room because I do miss.

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Really to like talk. Yeah, yeah, that was the.

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 4>Most fun part of the interview, was like going in

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 4>and actually talking to people and meeting people because yeah,

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.199
<v Speaker 4>and then you then it just makes it that much

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 4>more comfortable.

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Self tapes are awful.

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 5>Oh well, yeah, well that you know. It's funny.

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.440
<v Speaker 3>I haven't been like a professional, I mean, except for

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 3>coming back to do Fuller House, I haven't been an

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 3>actor for a long time, so I haven't gone on

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 3>any auditions, right, And it's true, like the last time

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 3>I went for an audition.

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 5>You would get a call from your agent.

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 3>They'd say, oh, you're going in for a thing, and

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.080
<v Speaker 3>then get have to drive to the agency and pick

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 3>up the pick.

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>The pages sides and then right, and then.

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Drive to across town to whatever Paramount or Fox or wherever,

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 3>right for five minutes in the room and then leave

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 3>feeling like they hate you. And I hate the audition.

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 5>I hate it.

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean I really it's hard psychologically, it's had auditioning.

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 3>I hate auditioning. I was like, if you just give

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 3>me the part, I promise you all do a really

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 3>good job.

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>But I always which is how you got, Which is

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 2>how you got Steve. I did not realize that, yeah, that.

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I never auditioned for the you know what I think

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 3>When I first met Tom Miller and Bob Boyette, who

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 3>of course you guys know, but just for your audience,

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 3>they were like the kings of the television in the

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 3>eighties and nineties and.

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.319
<v Speaker 2>The seventies even yeah, literally.

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean starting with even before like l Vernon Shirley

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.839
<v Speaker 3>and and Happy Days and stuff and more committment and

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 3>a million more. But they I remember I met with

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.680
<v Speaker 3>them and they they really liked me. I was probably fourteen.

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I'd just come to LA and they wanted to put

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 3>me on a like a holding deal where you and

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 3>I did have to read for them. I had to

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 3>show them that I knew how to, like say, dialogue,

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.200
<v Speaker 3>and I was I'm sure I was like shaking like

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:02.319
<v Speaker 3>a leaf or whatever.

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:02.920
<v Speaker 5>But I passed.

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 3>And so then they put me on like a holding

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 3>deal and just that and my mom was like, what

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 3>we just got here, get you know, and I remember

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.680
<v Speaker 3>my agent or manager or whoever at the time said,

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 3>trust me, these are.

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 5>The you know, these are the people.

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 2>This is what you want.

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.199
<v Speaker 3>It's like they're the kings of television. And if they

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 3>want you, if they want to put you in there,

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.839
<v Speaker 3>basically they would just pay you to just be available

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 3>to them to do it.

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Right, holding, yeah, holding fees, which I don't they don't

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 4>do as much anymore now, stringing you along and yeah.

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think now, yeah, it's true.

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if they do that, but like, uh,

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 3>and then they put me on that show, The Family Man,

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 3>and then then they put me on and then I

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 3>did another pilot for them that didn't end up going

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 3>or they recast all the kids with younger kids because

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.440
<v Speaker 3>it was And then I was I didn't know what

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 3>I was going to do next, and then full House

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 3>came along, and it was a really lucky, lucky break.

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:55.959
<v Speaker 3>It was really I mean, I couldn't have known how lucky,

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 3>you know. I mean, it was just I didn't know

0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 3>I'd be sitting here thirty something years later.

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 4>Talking exactly forever a part of the full and Fuller

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 4>House universe.

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you are you're Steve, you are part of

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 2>stee J.

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Like that's it's funny because some people lose their minds,

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, Like I mean, you know, like I remember

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 3>I was walking my dog on the beach and this

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 3>lady walked by, and she did the double take and

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 3>then the like the number of expletives that came out

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 3>of her mouth when she realized that she just walked

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 3>by Steve on the beach, you know, I mean, it

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 3>happens every day, but that one was really funny because

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 3>the sun was setting, it was so beautiful.

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 5>She's like, she's like.

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, yeah, a moment with Steve Hale.

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Right. But it's nice though. It's like people grew up

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 3>with us. It's really cool. I get people all the time.

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 3>People say they learn English watching Full House. Yeah, a

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.319
<v Speaker 3>full House got them through a tough time in their life,

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, Like my parents were splitting up and it

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 3>was a really tough time at home, and watching Full

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.080
<v Speaker 3>House made me feel better, you know what I mean.

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.119
<v Speaker 3>It's really I'm sure you guys hear that ten times.

0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>More than I. Oh.

0:12:58.640 --> 0:12:59.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like it's comfort food for people, familiar faces

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and relatable storylines.

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's so weird how it's still so relevant today,

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 3>you know. Yeah, so I don't know if this is true,

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.599
<v Speaker 3>but like because I I remember when I was a

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 3>kid in like an old like a Brady Bunch rerun

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 3>would be on the out right looked very weird to me,

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Like it was very seventies, Like you could tell that

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.960
<v Speaker 3>it was from a different era, and we right, And

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 3>you don't know that could be one hundred years ago

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 3>or ten years ago, but you right.

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.559
<v Speaker 5>True, I watched Bullhouse.

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Today and a lot of the clothes and the fashion

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.600
<v Speaker 3>I think I think it might have gone away and

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.200
<v Speaker 3>came back because I feel like nineties stuff is very.

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 2>In right now. Nineties stuff is very in right now.

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 4>It's things going like thirty year trends, right So like

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 4>when we were in the nineties, Like remember that big

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 4>resurgence of like bell bottoms and like sort of late

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.199
<v Speaker 4>sixties seventies clothes and my mom going, why is this

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 4>popular again?

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Like this stuff looked ridiculous when I.

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 4>Was, you know, And now I say the same thing

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.679
<v Speaker 4>because my kids are wearing like they literally have they

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 4>have genes called nineties cut jeans really wow, the same

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 4>little baby dolls shirts and this whole Doc Doc Martin's

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 4>and the and I'm like, yeah, oh my god, I'm

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 4>finally old enough to see it become a trend again.

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 4>And yeah it is. It's definitely, it's definitely out there.

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.679
<v Speaker 4>But there I would I would beg to differ and

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 4>say that there are some pretty oh yeah, pretty terrible

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 4>if you go back to the.

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Eighties, the eighties episode, you know, they're.

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Like, yeah, the early episodes are wow.

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 5>Did I see kids now? Like you said? And Doc

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 5>Martin's and like flannel shirts.

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>And ripped jeans and yeah, the ninety Yeah, it's all back.

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 5>That's funny.

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 4>And you know, we've talked a lot about it too,

0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 4>about how not just the cast, but like our families

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.680
<v Speaker 4>also were such a big part of the show. And

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 4>your mom, the infamous babswinger, Yeah, uh, the infamous.

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 2>It was such.

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 4>It's just such a lovely human and fit right in

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 4>with our moms. Your mom and my mom used to

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 4>go to dinner because your younger brother, Todd, and I

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 4>were in acting class together at the Young End and

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 4>they at the Young Actors Space and they would drop

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 4>us off like during the week. It would be oftentimes

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 4>on like a Wednesday or Tuesday or Wednesday.

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 2>So we were up there for rehearsal, and.

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 4>Our moms would go to dinner and then come and

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 4>pick us up after after acting class.

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know my mom, I remember your I remember

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 2>your mom.

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 4>I think catching Todd and us all smoking in the

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 4>back or something, and our moms were sitting in the car.

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 4>I believe that she was like, he better not, he

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 4>better not, and he did. She's like, god, damn it.

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, oh yeah, Well, you know.

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 5>It's funny.

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 3>It was very cool of you guys, you and your

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 3>parents to sort of accept us, because when I came

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 3>onto Full House as a series regular, and I think

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 3>it was like season six, you guys were already very

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 3>much a family, and I felt like I was the

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 3>new guy, and then like immediately I felt like part

0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 3>of the family. And I know my mom, my whole

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 3>family felt that way too, and she loved hanging.

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Out with your Lauren, your sister got there.

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, they're all by the way, they all

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 3>say hi, they're all they're all.

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 5>Doing great everywhere.

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's really nice.

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 2>So wild.

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I forget that you weren't in the early seasons

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 1>because it feels like you were a part of the

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 1>entire run of the show.

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 4>You and Laurie just both feel like it's been there

0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 4>since the beginning.

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 5>Lauri did come me, lur came on pretty early.

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 4>We just we just watched her first episode season two,

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 4>episode two.

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh really she can't.

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so she actually has been here since like almost

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 4>the beginning.

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 2>But you have always also.

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 4>Felt like someone you like, You're just thanks. You just

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 4>always been with us.

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, you know, we did. We were a very

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 5>close knit bunch.

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 3>I've worked on a lot of shows, like as an

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 3>actor and as a writer and stuff, and like there

0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 3>there are not many casts that sort of gel and

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 3>sort of like on screen but also behind the camera,

0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 3>like just as Friends became so close, you know what,

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 3>and like I mean, I have to give Bob a

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 3>lot of credit for that because he was always organizing

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 3>hangouts for us.

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 2>And Rob was the glue.

0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.639
<v Speaker 5>He was the glue. Yeah, for sure, for sure.

0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:18.200
<v Speaker 2>But I remember I remember when you this was probably

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:18.959
<v Speaker 2>eighth season.

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.000
<v Speaker 4>This was around the end because I my mom was

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 4>finally letting me go to dinner with everybody before tape night,

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.679
<v Speaker 4>and I was like the youngest one that you know,

0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 4>I finally got included in the in the with the

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 4>exactly with like you and Candace and Andrea and then

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 4>the adults, and we would go to dinner beforehand, and

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 4>it was usually like right over the hill from Warner Brothers.

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>We'd go to Jerry's or we'd go so.

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.159
<v Speaker 4>And can you, by the way, can you imagine stage

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 4>managers letting us do that?

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Now? Could you imagine?

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 5>I know that's great.

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 4>Would never get us questions they would have They wouldn't Yeah,

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 4>they wouldn't have gotten us back. Their heads would have exploded,

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 4>like I can't imagine. And you know that we were

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 4>probably never on time. We were probably always late.

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh god, back by the stage manager standing outside like

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:02.919
<v Speaker 3>looking at this.

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.160
<v Speaker 4>I do remember you guys, let's go right, and we're

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 4>like he but I remember you had I think maybe

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 4>just gotten your car or something, and you were driving

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 4>and Bob was driving, or maybe it was Bob that

0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:17.439
<v Speaker 4>had just gotten his car.

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 2>He was he got a new car. He was very

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:19.359
<v Speaker 2>excited about it.

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, And all I remember is us like and

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 4>this terrible but you and Bob racing over the hill.

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, she's up terrible hill. I just remember, yeah,

0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 2>and Bob listening to whatever. It was probably.

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Beck, Yeah I was. I was sixteen years old. I

0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:38.879
<v Speaker 3>don't know what his excuse. We was.

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's the thing, is like saying it now, you're like, yeah,

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:42.440
<v Speaker 4>you were.

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 2>You were a kid. Bob was an idiot, but he was.

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 5>He was like a big kid.

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 3>He always like related very much to like the young

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.199
<v Speaker 3>people on the show. And he'd be like, you have

0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:53.720
<v Speaker 3>to come in my car and listen to this, you know,

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:54.280
<v Speaker 3>which is funny.

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 5>It's like going, I.

0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Always say yeah, Bob to this day, Bob had.

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:02.920
<v Speaker 4>One of the biggest influences on my music growing up,

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.320
<v Speaker 4>and to this day I can hear certain songs and

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 4>it reminds me of him.

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.880
<v Speaker 5>One hundred percent. He was definitely a big musical influence

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:12.560
<v Speaker 5>for sure.

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:14.720
<v Speaker 4>So but what I hear you saying is that we're

0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:16.720
<v Speaker 4>your favorite cast, that you've worked on a lot of

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 4>other shows, that you've done other things, but nothing.

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 5>Nothing compares nothing.

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't even like it, nothing compares to you us.

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 3>Now It's well, I mean, you guys are more than

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 3>a cast. I mean, like we were a family for real,

0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, I mean, I know it sounds like, I mean,

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.320
<v Speaker 3>the show's been off the year long enough that like,

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 3>we don't have any incentive to not tell the truth about.

0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.720
<v Speaker 2>This, right, Yeah, exactly. If we really hated each other,

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:40.920
<v Speaker 2>we would have done it by now.

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:41.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:43.479
<v Speaker 3>And when we do, when we hang out together and public,

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.640
<v Speaker 3>people can see right away that it's a very close

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 3>knit bunch, you know that, like we're you know, and

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:50.919
<v Speaker 3>then and then even when we go a long time

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 3>without seeing each other, it's immediately we fall.

0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 5>Back into that.

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 5>Although I feel like you guys see each.

0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Other all that you're doing this podcast and you're together

0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 3>all the time. Everybody is everybody hanging out without me?

0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Is that what's going on?

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:05.439
<v Speaker 2>That's what's happening, Scott.

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:09.119
<v Speaker 4>And I'm so glad we brought you on this public

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.320
<v Speaker 4>forum to let you know that we've all been hanging

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:14.119
<v Speaker 4>out without you because we just want.

0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:15.480
<v Speaker 2>To make you feel bad because you feel bad.

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 6>I feel bad.

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 5>I feel bad.

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:19.360
<v Speaker 6>Wait where did that come from?

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Where did I feel bad come from? It was you?

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.640
<v Speaker 3>And well you know why, because I always felt bad,

0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Like I thought, like.

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Is it does?

0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 3>It?

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Is your thing?

0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.119
<v Speaker 3>I was like obsessed with not wanting to hurt anybody's

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.199
<v Speaker 3>feelings ever or saying anything that might offend anything.

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:38.239
<v Speaker 4>That's why you and Bob would all write. You and

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:40.479
<v Speaker 4>Bob got along really well because he also was like that.

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 4>And then he would eventually take something too far and

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 4>then wind up texting you about it later.

0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:45.440
<v Speaker 5>It's true. Yeah, that's true.

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 2>And and Bob you'd be like, I'm sorry, I feel bad.

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:48.399
<v Speaker 2>I feel bad, and.

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 3>He would give me a hard time over qualities that

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:55.679
<v Speaker 3>he himself that he was afraid he had, you know, like,

0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:56.919
<v Speaker 3>so he would always say.

0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 5>Stop feeling bad all the time. You're always feeling bad.

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:02.160
<v Speaker 5>Just live your life. Stop feeling I'm like a kettle.

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, right exactly.

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, it's true.

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Bob would, Yeah, one of us would always like

0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 3>we'd hang out and then I'd be like, at three

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 3>in the morning, I'm really sorry about that thing.

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 5>I said. I hope he's like, you're an idiot, and

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:13.919
<v Speaker 5>then he would do it.

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:19.399
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, we had a very funny relationship because he

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.239
<v Speaker 3>was twenty years older than me, but we were like,

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:22.920
<v Speaker 3>I guess, like brothers, you know, like.

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 1>He was Yeah, So do you feel bad about leaving

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:28.880
<v Speaker 1>full House in season eight to go.

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 6>To Harvard, Which I don't know why I feel so

0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:31.399
<v Speaker 6>bad about it?

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 4>What was I thinking, he feels so bad, Yeah, getting

0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:35.160
<v Speaker 4>an education.

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:36.239
<v Speaker 5>It was.

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 3>It was funny because I remember, you know, when I

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:43.960
<v Speaker 3>came on to the show for that first season as

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:45.639
<v Speaker 3>a series regular, I was still in high school.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 5>I was a senior in high school, and.

0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:51.879
<v Speaker 3>Then I got into college and then you know, in

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:53.879
<v Speaker 3>those days, you would just mail them back a postcards

0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:56.879
<v Speaker 3>saying yes, I'm coming, but next year. And so I

0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 3>sent them on the postcards. So I deferred a year.

0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:01.440
<v Speaker 3>If you skip it, if I think, then you would

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 3>have to reapply, which I was.

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you can differ a year on an exception or

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 4>on being accepted. You can then say I'll come next year.

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 4>But more than that, then you have to go through the.

0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:11.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I wasn't prepared to do that. I was

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.159
<v Speaker 3>stressful enough, and I felt like I won the lottery

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 3>and got into the school. I'm not going to try it,

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 3>you know, take a chance, right and so, and you know,

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 3>and also I didn't want to be like, way older

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 3>than my classmates and stuff, you know, young. You know,

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 3>when I got there a year late, I was like

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 3>one of the I was. I was one of the

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 3>youngest kids in my class anyway, So it felt like

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 3>I was totally but you know, and but I remember

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.479
<v Speaker 3>having to take a meeting with everybody and explain that,

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:37.119
<v Speaker 3>you know, as much as I loved the show and

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.440
<v Speaker 3>was so happy I wanted to leave for college, and.

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:40.399
<v Speaker 5>They were cool, you know.

0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I feel like they were not like great,

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 3>get out of here, you know, but I feel like

0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:47.879
<v Speaker 3>it was a good opportunity for them to have DJ

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 3>date other people and stories.

0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:52.720
<v Speaker 4>And stuff, right, And they were also like our producers

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 4>were also always so supportive of education, of making sure

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 4>that like our school life really was a priority and

0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:02.920
<v Speaker 4>came first. So like, I'm sure that that was also

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:04.679
<v Speaker 4>part of it too, And yeah, did you were going

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 4>to Harvard? Like it's not like you were like, hey,

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:07.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna go to you know, yeah, exactly.

0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:09.719
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, they were so gracious about that big

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:11.600
<v Speaker 3>you know. The funny thing is some people were like.

0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:12.320
<v Speaker 5>What are you thinking?

0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:14.680
<v Speaker 3>Like you have this, like you won the lottery, You're

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.880
<v Speaker 3>like an actor on a hit show. Why on God's

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Earth would you walk away from that?

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 5>You know what I mean?

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 3>And then other people said the exact opposite, like you're

0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 3>doing the right thing.

0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:25.399
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:27.360
<v Speaker 3>You don't want to be one of those Hollywood kids

0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 3>or whatever, And there were.

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 5>Times and I don't regret it at all.

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was an amazing experience and I would

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:34.920
<v Speaker 3>do it again a hundred times, you know, like exactly

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 3>the way I did it. But like, there were definitely

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 3>times where when I was in college and I felt

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 3>like the show was still going on and I missed

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 3>you guys, and I missed my liked about in la.

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, there were definitely times where I was like,

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 3>what was I thinking? But in the aggregate, I was

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:51.440
<v Speaker 3>glad I made the decision.

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Did you feel like a normal college student or did

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you feel like a famous person at Harvard? Like how

0:23:57.560 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 1>did the other students respond to you when you little

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 1>bit of boat?

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:02.920
<v Speaker 3>You know, like I tried to just sort of you know,

0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:05.679
<v Speaker 3>it was pre social media and pre you know, not

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 3>pre true that.

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:09.719
<v Speaker 5>Old, but it was like but it was definitely pre

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 5>all close.

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 4>But I don't know, Internet made a weird noise when

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:16.359
<v Speaker 4>you started it and you had to make sure nobody

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:18.399
<v Speaker 4>else was on the phone in your house when it

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:19.879
<v Speaker 4>was not like it is today.

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you didn't have to dial in.

0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 3>But like when I was a freshman in college, they

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 3>had wired all the buildings for ethernet, like for.

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Right right you could plug it in, but it.

0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't in the walls like they had all these It

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 3>looked like when you look at like pictures of like

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 3>the nineteenth century, like telegraph wires and stuff, there were just.

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Right, right right everywhere.

0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was the.

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Beginning, but I definitely felt like I don't know, like

0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:46.119
<v Speaker 3>I tried really hard to be I remember they wanted

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:49.440
<v Speaker 3>entertainment tonight. I think wanted me to carry my agent

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:50.879
<v Speaker 3>or somebody called it, and said they want to know

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:53.240
<v Speaker 3>if you would take a video camera just sort of

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:55.520
<v Speaker 3>videotape your life. They could do segments on what's it

0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:57.640
<v Speaker 3>like to be a kid actor going off to college?

0:24:57.920 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, that's literally the opposite of what

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:02.360
<v Speaker 3>I you know what I mean that right, nothing could

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:03.760
<v Speaker 3>draw more attention and.

0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 5>Intros.

0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, now it would be it would be like

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.159
<v Speaker 4>totally be fine because everyone walks around with a video

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:14.880
<v Speaker 4>camera filming themselves and talking about what they're doing. Yeah,

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 4>but yeah, I shouldn't have been or you could have

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 4>been the original influencer, Scott.

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 3>You could have could have been, you know, I was

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:23.959
<v Speaker 3>still part of like I still had like hollywoodish kind

0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 3>of jobs, like, but I was doing that. I was

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:29.920
<v Speaker 3>like a correspondent for Good Morning America at the time,

0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Like I was their youth correspondent, so like cool, I

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 3>would go.

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:34.399
<v Speaker 5>Off and do stories.

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 3>I would like leave for a couple of days and

0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:38.240
<v Speaker 3>go do a story and then go to New York.

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:40.680
<v Speaker 5>And like present, that's cool. That was very cool.

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:42.639
<v Speaker 3>So that I mean, I definitely was still had a

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 3>foot in like show business a little bit, but I

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 3>was very conscious about I don't know, it's sort of

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 3>backfired anyway, Like I don't know why I tried so

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 3>hard to be like normal. I was very like obsessed

0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:53.400
<v Speaker 3>with my privacy, you know what I mean.

0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 4>And I think that kind of comes at that age though.

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:58.679
<v Speaker 4>It's like because I think we all kind of went

0:25:58.680 --> 0:25:59.960
<v Speaker 4>through that. We were like, oh my god, and it's

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:02.439
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's the teenager like you just I just

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 4>want to be like everybody else. I just don't want

0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:05.920
<v Speaker 4>to stand out and just want to be like normal

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 4>until everyone realizes that none of us are, and you know,

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 4>that doesn't happen.

0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:12.639
<v Speaker 3>I think I would with being normal and private that

0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 3>I was like normal and too private, and I sort

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:16.920
<v Speaker 3>of like screwed myself out of a little bit of

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 3>the experience of like college a little bit, you know

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 3>what I mean.

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:21.440
<v Speaker 5>But it was great.

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 3>It was I mean, you know, I definitely there's certain

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 3>things I would do differently, but for the most part,

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:26.639
<v Speaker 3>it nailed it.

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:28.919
<v Speaker 2>For the most part. Awesome.

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Were you still doing Aladdin? Were you recording a Laddin voices?

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 3>It was so funny because it was like a process

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 3>because you know, like you know what we're talking about.

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.680
<v Speaker 3>It's like pre nowadays you could record it from your

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, you could go in the bathroom and put

0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 3>up something, right. But uh, at first they would fly

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 3>me to La sometimes to do recording sessions, and then

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.200
<v Speaker 3>they would fly me to They were like, this is

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:53.359
<v Speaker 3>too much traveling for you. And then we found a

0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 3>studio in New York where I would just go to

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:57.200
<v Speaker 3>where the New York actors would go, which was fun.

0:26:57.320 --> 0:26:59.680
<v Speaker 3>I would like take the Delta shuttle. That was such

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 3>an easy flight and in those days, the security so

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 3>like I could get.

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 2>In a cab right, you just pop on.

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:07.359
<v Speaker 3>It was literally like if it was the Delta shuttle

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:09.919
<v Speaker 3>was like every hour or every half hour whatever. I

0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 3>could get there at like seven fifteen to catch a

0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 3>seven thirty shuttle to New York and it was crazy.

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:17.640
<v Speaker 3>But then eventually they found a studio in New York

0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:21.400
<v Speaker 3>in Boston and I would just go, you know, take

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:24.879
<v Speaker 3>the subway into Copley Square and just do you know,

0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 3>do it there. So they were very cool about trying

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:29.199
<v Speaker 3>to make But wherever I go in the world, they

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 3>would find me to do a session. You know, like

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:36.160
<v Speaker 3>even when I did a semester abroad in Paris, they

0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:38.240
<v Speaker 3>found me. My agent left me a message at home.

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:39.359
<v Speaker 2>They found you.

0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:40.640
<v Speaker 5>They found me, and then a.

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Car came and picked me up and took me to

0:27:42.320 --> 0:27:45.479
<v Speaker 3>a recording studio like somewhere in on the outside of Paris,

0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 3>and I recorded there.

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 5>You know, it was very cool.

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:48.359
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you can't get away from them, Yeah.

0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:53.680
<v Speaker 4>Right, I mean they had your permission before the car

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:57.639
<v Speaker 4>pulled up, and it was to a studio to record

0:27:57.680 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 4>a lad under duress and.

0:27:59.160 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Then come back.

0:27:59.600 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 4>Okay, got yeah, making it clear. I was just walking

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:05.080
<v Speaker 4>down the street in pars and this car pulled up.

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:08.160
<v Speaker 4>We'll be inside, told me to be Aladdin.

0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 1>What was your audition like for Aladdin? Like was it cutthroat?

0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Were you up against a lot of others?

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, you know, I was very lucky.

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Like I said, I suck at auditions because I get

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.320
<v Speaker 3>so nervous, you know, I get so in my own head.

0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:24.119
<v Speaker 3>And I was I started auditioning for Aladdin when I

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.360
<v Speaker 3>was doing that show before Full House, the Family Man,

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:28.760
<v Speaker 3>and my mom because I was still a kid when

0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 3>I was fifteen or fourteen, my mom said, you have

0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 3>an audition after work today, and I was like, what's

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 3>the force.

0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:37.000
<v Speaker 5>She said, it's like some cartoon. It's like a cartoon.

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Audition, which I had never gone in an audition for

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 3>a cartoon, and so I remember we went and there

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 3>was like a music stand with the dial, you know,

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 3>and they showed me pictures. They were like, he looks

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 3>like this, and he basically just looked like a kid

0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 3>my age. Basically I was like, okay, I think I

0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:52.080
<v Speaker 3>could do that.

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 5>And that was it. I mean, I just you know,

0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:56.640
<v Speaker 5>the only interesting thing.

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 3>About that about that audition process was the singing part,

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:01.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, because people, well some people know, some people

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 3>don't know, and I don't bother. I don't know why

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm bringing it up, but I'm not the singing voice.

0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 5>Of a Laddin.

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:09.360
<v Speaker 6>I didn't know that I had learned.

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 3>I was smart enough to know because I started auditioning

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 3>for things when I was like eights or whatever, and

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:16.400
<v Speaker 3>I knew if you if they ask you if you

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:18.080
<v Speaker 3>can do a thing, if you have a certain skill,

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 3>then yeah, yeah, I could totally juggle totally.

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I've been doing it since I was a child.

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:27.760
<v Speaker 5>Really, if they like you enough, they'll they'll get you

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:28.320
<v Speaker 5>a fire.

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Juggling, right, but they'll figure it out.

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:32.479
<v Speaker 5>So they were like, that was a great audition. Can

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:32.840
<v Speaker 5>you sing?

0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, oh my god, of course I

0:29:34.160 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 3>could sing, and they were and they gave me cheap

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 3>music and a tape and everything, and I tried.

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 4>I you know, I thought, I thought they gave you

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:45.840
<v Speaker 4>sheet music and like an accompanist, and we're like, okay,

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 4>you ready.

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 5>They gave me time.

0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 3>I had time to prepare, like I worked with a

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:54.280
<v Speaker 3>coach and like crack, I tried so hard but I

0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:58.680
<v Speaker 3>had no training. But you know, I just I tanked

0:29:58.680 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 3>it really badly. And but it was one of those

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 3>things where I felt like it was a triumph in

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 3>the sense that I like put my like I just

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 3>sucked it up and I did a thing that I

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:09.120
<v Speaker 3>knew I couldn't do, and I just went for it yea,

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 3>and I just assumed it was over. But then a

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 3>few months later they called me again and they wanted

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:16.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, I think they at that point they were like,

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 3>this is our guy, so we have to figure this out,

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:22.280
<v Speaker 3>like we have to end. And they found a guy

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 3>named Brad Kine who was also a kid actor, who

0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 3>was had a stunning voice and sort of say it

0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:31.440
<v Speaker 3>made it sound like mine, you know, in terms of like,

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, like I could go from speaking to him

0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 3>singing and people couldn't really tell.

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:37.160
<v Speaker 2>That, right right, You guys have the same sort of

0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 2>tonal quality.

0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:41.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And so to this day when people say, oh

0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:43.280
<v Speaker 3>my god, you have such a beautiful voice, and I

0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:44.240
<v Speaker 3>just say, oh.

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:47.320

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:47.760

<v Speaker 3>writer and producer. Like we did the same profession as

0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:08.760
<v Speaker 3>adults too.

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna see. Yeah, you guys both wound up

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:11.400
<v Speaker 2>being writers.

0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Our paths crossed from time to time, you know, and

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 3>professionally and stuff. But and then I see him at

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 3>all this Aladdin stuff, you know, D twenty three kind

0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 3>of thing.

0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 5>Right, Yeah, he's a great guy.

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:23.160
<v Speaker 4>I have yet to go to a D twenty three,

0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:25.120
<v Speaker 4>and I really want to go because I grew up

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:27.480
<v Speaker 4>at Disneyland. I love Disneyland. I love I mean, I'm

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 4>not you know, John level, but I'm a big I'm

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 4>a big.

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's true.

0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:35.239
<v Speaker 3>I mean he, I mean he and his wife they

0:31:35.320 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 3>let go and put on costume, but they're crazy.

0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, they go cosplay.

0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:41.240
<v Speaker 4>It's the whole, the whole thing. What a Disney bounding,

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 4>That's what it is, where you put up that's so Yeah,

0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:47.960
<v Speaker 4>there's a whole where you you dress inspired by but

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 4>not in costume as so like if you it's like

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:54.640
<v Speaker 4>inspired by Bell and maybe it's like a little like

0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 4>similar colors and style something like that.

0:31:57.200 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 3>But anyway, I think Disney is a really good and

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:02.040
<v Speaker 3>healthy thing to be obsessed with. Like I think, you know,

0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:03.840
<v Speaker 3>like people come up to me all the time and

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:07.560
<v Speaker 3>they'll be like covered in Disney tattoos and things like that.

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, they'll have an Aladdin or a Princess Jasmine

0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 3>on their arm or like a bunch of characters. And

0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 3>I think it's in terms of like obsessions, it seemed

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:17.280
<v Speaker 3>it's healthy. I mean, I'm sure, like anything else, you

0:32:17.320 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 3>can cross the line with it.

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:22.680
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I mean, you know, to each their own.

0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean there's people out there that have our

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:26.600
<v Speaker 4>signature's tattooed on them, which is actually kind.

0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:27.360
<v Speaker 5>Of that's true.

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 4>I remembering at nineties Con I signed that I signed

0:32:32.280 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 4>how Rude, and someone got it.

0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:36.280
<v Speaker 3>I remember a girl came to our taping and I

0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 3>signed her leg and then she came back and it

0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:38.360
<v Speaker 3>was there.

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was permanent.

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but you.

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 5>Know, I appreciate it.

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:45.719
<v Speaker 3>I think that people, you know, with full House and Disney,

0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:47.480
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of the same thing, and that people grew

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 3>up with it and people feel like it's a.

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Closes tap into that nostalgia.

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:54.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and it brings them back to their childhood and everything.

0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 5>It's really sweet.

0:32:56.040 --> 0:32:58.560
<v Speaker 4>No, you did bring up that you went into writing

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 4>as an adult. What how how did that transition happen

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:03.440
<v Speaker 4>for you? Was that something that happened while you were

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:05.240
<v Speaker 4>at Harvard? Was it something that.

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Happened like late after that or what? Like what made

0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:08.720
<v Speaker 2>you decide to go.

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:11.040
<v Speaker 4>No, I mean, other than the fact that you hate auditioning,

0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:12.400
<v Speaker 4>what made you decide to go?

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, it is funny, Like it's such because

0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:18.720
<v Speaker 3>being a TV writer such like a precarious like it's

0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:20.480
<v Speaker 3>like it's pretty much up there with trying to be

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 3>an actor in.

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:23.200
<v Speaker 4>Terms of like jobs, right, right, it's right, do you

0:33:23.200 --> 0:33:24.640
<v Speaker 4>have a job, You don't have a job.

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:25.680
<v Speaker 2>You have a great job.

0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, but it is an amazing job.

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Like it's sort of like acting where the heart of

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 3>the sucky part of it is trying to get the job,

0:33:34.760 --> 0:33:36.960
<v Speaker 3>and then when you have it, it's pretty much always great,

0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, even even if they're you know, like there's

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:43.840
<v Speaker 3>you know sometimes like there's like not perfect scenarios where

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:45.960
<v Speaker 3>maybe the hours are really bad, or there's somebody in

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:48.880
<v Speaker 3>the room is really mean or whatever, or you're constantly

0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:50.800
<v Speaker 3>getting terrible notes and having to rewrite the thing a

0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 3>million times, and but generally speaking, it's a really fun job.

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:57.840
<v Speaker 3>It's a great job. And I didn't appreciate it. Like

0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 3>when we were kids and the writers would show up

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:04.040
<v Speaker 3>for run throughs and table reads and they're like they

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 3>looked like such schlubs, and they would laugh way too

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:08.360
<v Speaker 3>hard at all jokes.

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 4>And I could because they're delirious for eighteen hours.

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.439
<v Speaker 5>I'm part of their their you know group. Now. Yeah,

0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:16.400
<v Speaker 5>like they just looked really tired.

0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:19.880
<v Speaker 4>And exhausted and over it and yeah, they were laughing

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 4>because they were just punchy and yeah.

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:23.920
<v Speaker 3>And they were cool. I liked talking to them like

0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:26.279
<v Speaker 3>they I liked their vibe, like I liked hanging Yeah.

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:28.319
<v Speaker 3>But I was never like so what. I never was

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:31.239
<v Speaker 3>like curious about the profession, really like about it. Didn't

0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:32.920
<v Speaker 3>occur to me that I would ever try to pursue that.

0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, it's a big bummer because Harvard

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:38.560
<v Speaker 3>is like a feeder for TV writers, you know, for

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:40.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, if you want to be a comedy writer,

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 3>the smartest thing you can do is go to Harvard

0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 3>and join the Harvard Lampoon, which.

0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Sort of right, I was gonna say.

0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, And I had never even occurred to me

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:49.440
<v Speaker 3>to try, Like I just was not you know, I

0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:50.680
<v Speaker 3>don't know what I thought, but I just.

0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Didn't just wasn't in your It wasn't in your It.

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:55.399
<v Speaker 5>Wasn't until the thing.

0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:57.879
<v Speaker 3>You know, The funny thing is it was really like

0:34:58.200 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 3>I had been out of college, maybe for a couple

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:02.319
<v Speaker 3>full of years already before I decided like, maybe that

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:04.520
<v Speaker 3>would be a fun thing. Like I think I had

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:07.080
<v Speaker 3>become friendly with some TV writers and I'd heard more

0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:09.960
<v Speaker 3>about the job and the sort of lifestyle of it,

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:12.600
<v Speaker 3>and so I started writing specs, which is what in

0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 3>those days, what you would have to do. So like

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 3>I wrote an episode of Scrubs, I wrote an episode

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:19.239
<v Speaker 3>of the King of Queens, you know, like I went.

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:21.000
<v Speaker 3>In those days, what you had to do is I

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 3>would go to the library at the Museum of Television

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:26.560
<v Speaker 3>and Radio, which I don't think it's there anymore. But

0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:28.120
<v Speaker 3>and also the writers, I.

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:31.440
<v Speaker 4>Think, I think there it's not at that location anymore.

0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 5>Maybe yeah, maybe it's somewhere else.

0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so.

0:35:34.120 --> 0:35:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And you could go and you could check out

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:38.240
<v Speaker 3>scripts and you can watch all the episode.

0:35:38.239 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 5>You know, it was pre Netflix or whatever.

0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:40.880
<v Speaker 2>You well, now it's all online.

0:35:40.960 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, act Now you could just sit there in your

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:44.720
<v Speaker 3>pajamas and do it. You know, life is so much easier.

0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:48.080
<v Speaker 3>People don't know how I mean. But there was something

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:50.000
<v Speaker 3>nice about it too, having a like put on book

0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:53.319
<v Speaker 3>and go somewhere. But so I would watch all the

0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:55.759
<v Speaker 3>King of Queen's episodes and try to like learn the

0:35:55.800 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 3>show and learn you know, it was really about match

0:35:57.800 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 3>yeah voices. You know, they wanted to see even if

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 3>you weren't up for a job on that show, they

0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:05.720
<v Speaker 3>just wanted to see that you can write somebody else's voice,

0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:09.479
<v Speaker 3>you know, somebody else's show. And nowadays it's not really

0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:12.480
<v Speaker 3>done like that. I don't think aspiring television writers write

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:15.080
<v Speaker 3>specs of existing shows. Now. You want to like write

0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:17.160
<v Speaker 3>an original pilot that makes a splash and gets a

0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:20.799
<v Speaker 3>lot of attention and all that, right, which probably isn't as.

0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 4>Good, which is impossible to sell because you've never done anything,

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:24.399
<v Speaker 4>so nobody pays.

0:36:25.200 --> 0:36:25.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, no, there is.

0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:27.600
<v Speaker 3>You know a lot of times, you know, something will

0:36:27.600 --> 0:36:29.960
<v Speaker 3>break through and then they'll hire somebody. You know, they'll

0:36:30.000 --> 0:36:32.520
<v Speaker 3>they'll pick up a somebody's never worked in television before,

0:36:32.560 --> 0:36:34.640
<v Speaker 3>and then that's its own kind of disaster.

0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:37.400
<v Speaker 5>But you know, but then they'll usually hire.

0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Like an experienced showrunner to help SUPERVI co run it

0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:41.320
<v Speaker 3>with them or whatever.

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:45.000
<v Speaker 4>But you worked on the Muppets, though, and I need

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:49.440
<v Speaker 4>to know everything about it. I am probably as big

0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 4>of a Muppet fan as I am of a Disney fan.

0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 5>Oh, Wow, I didn't know that.

0:36:54.560 --> 0:36:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I love them up.

0:36:57.680 --> 0:36:58.440
<v Speaker 5>That was amazing.

0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:00.279
<v Speaker 3>That was like, that was such a fun job, you know.

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:02.319
<v Speaker 3>I did that around the time we were starting on

0:37:02.480 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Fuller House.

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:06.279
<v Speaker 2>When Fuller House, I remember that, like, how did you?

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, did you write a a what did you?

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:15.720
<v Speaker 3>You know? They had hired a woman named Kristin Newman

0:37:15.800 --> 0:37:18.279
<v Speaker 3>to come on and run that show, and I with

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 3>her on a couple of shows already. We had worked

0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:22.480
<v Speaker 3>together on the show The Neighbors for ABC, and we

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:24.640
<v Speaker 3>had worked on this show Gallivant, which was a really

0:37:24.640 --> 0:37:28.600
<v Speaker 3>wonderful it was a musical for ABC, and and she

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:30.680
<v Speaker 3>reached out and asked if I would be interested in

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:33.520
<v Speaker 3>coming on and working with her on that and and so,

0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:35.960
<v Speaker 3>and it was amazing. It was one of those lucky

0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:37.600
<v Speaker 3>gigs that just sort of fell out of the sky.

0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:42.759
<v Speaker 3>And it was amazing because the writing process was very

0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:45.080
<v Speaker 3>much just like writing a regular show, you know it

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:46.960
<v Speaker 3>was it was sort of like that show. It was

0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:50.759
<v Speaker 3>like a workplace comedy about muppet right right. You didn't

0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:53.040
<v Speaker 3>really appreciate how crazy it was until you went to

0:37:53.080 --> 0:37:55.000
<v Speaker 3>the set and the whole set is six feet off.

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:56.439
<v Speaker 2>The ground's right.

0:37:57.160 --> 0:38:00.160
<v Speaker 4>I've watched all the like documentaries about the Muppet It's

0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:02.560
<v Speaker 4>in Sesame Street and Jim Henson and stuff.

0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:04.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, like I had known that you had this obsession,

0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:06.359
<v Speaker 3>I would have invited you to come down and visit

0:38:06.400 --> 0:38:07.160
<v Speaker 3>the set and everything.

0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:07.400
<v Speaker 5>It was.

0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:08.799
<v Speaker 2>Really I would have died.

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:11.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I Like I remember being a kid and like

0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:15.480
<v Speaker 4>watching Jim Henson's funeral and Big Bird Woman sobbing, Like

0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:19.560
<v Speaker 4>I love Dark Crystal Labyrinth all like I'm a big

0:38:19.680 --> 0:38:23.160
<v Speaker 4>Henson Muppets fan and the Muppet Christmas Carol is the

0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:25.359
<v Speaker 4>best Christmas Carol of all time. I will fight someone

0:38:25.400 --> 0:38:25.960
<v Speaker 4>about I love.

0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:27.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, I was always a huge fan of the

0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Muppets and like that was it was a really that

0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:32.040
<v Speaker 3>was an amazing job that you know, just like being

0:38:32.080 --> 0:38:34.600
<v Speaker 3>on the set with those and those the pup there,

0:38:34.640 --> 0:38:36.520
<v Speaker 3>you know the voice actors and they're you know, they're.

<v Speaker 5>Not just so talented their puppeteers.

0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:41.080
<v Speaker 3>They like it's a skill set that I don't know

0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:42.719
<v Speaker 3>where they got it. I guess they learned it from

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 3>doing it or something, but it's amazing. Yeah, and everybody

0:38:45.600 --> 0:38:47.120
<v Speaker 3>loves the Muppets. So like if we ever wanted a

0:38:47.120 --> 0:38:49.359
<v Speaker 3>big guest star, like we did an episode with them.

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:51.279
<v Speaker 5>Jack White came out like we always.

0:38:50.960 --> 0:38:53.799

<v Speaker 3>White Stripes, you know, this episode and then at the

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:11.440

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but they're amazing.

0:39:20.920 --> 0:39:22.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what they can do is really that was

0:39:22.920 --> 0:39:26.080
<v Speaker 3>so fun. I wish, you know, I ended up writing

0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:29.160
<v Speaker 3>the season finale co writing the season finale of that

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:31.960

0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:32.840
<v Speaker 3>series finale.

0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:35.040

0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:36.680
<v Speaker 2>was like, there wasn't I killed.

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:40.000
<v Speaker 3>The show basically, no, But I don't know, you know,

0:39:40.120 --> 0:39:42.759
<v Speaker 3>it was real. It was a very like tough needle

0:39:42.800 --> 0:39:44.600
<v Speaker 3>to thread that show because they wanted it to be

0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:47.200
<v Speaker 3>kind of a dry work, like like the Office kind

0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:50.640
<v Speaker 3>of Rumpets, and I just I just think that like

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:52.759
<v Speaker 3>maybe with a little more time. I mean I thought

0:39:52.800 --> 0:39:55.560
<v Speaker 3>that it really found its groove by the end. It

0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 3>was really christ an amazing job running that show, and

0:39:58.200 --> 0:39:59.640
<v Speaker 3>she really like figured out.

0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:02.040
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it was just wonderful. But you know, it

0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:02.880
<v Speaker 5>just wasn't meant to be.

0:40:03.640 --> 0:40:06.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I remember the watching the Muppets as a kid,

0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:09.160
<v Speaker 4>and the Muppet even the original Muppet Show was sort

0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:12.000
<v Speaker 4>of dry humored and kind, you know, if you watch

0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:16.160
<v Speaker 4>it like it was definitely not kids entertainment necessarily.

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:17.399
<v Speaker 5>It's true.

0:40:17.640 --> 0:40:20.280
