It's funny. 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.680 I definitely feel even now we're old people. I mean, 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.280 you wouldn't know if I'm looking at you two, but 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.000 you know, look at the center square here, oh that 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.120 because it's only I'm going. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.880 No, you're pretty good. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.200 You're part of the full house family. 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:19.720 You don't. I think pretty good, that's true. But I 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:24.080 definitely have this mentality, like student mentality, like I'm always 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:25.639 trying to learn stuff all the time. 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:26.280 Yea. 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.560 So like right now I'm studying Italian, which is really 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.840 fun because we went to Italy. My family went on 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.880 a trip to Italy and it was. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.000 So you probably went there and you're like, now I 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.480 need to know all of the town. Yes, exactly, And 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.800 now Scott's like, I need to next. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.000 Time I go.

So but I 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:45.160 always feel like. 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.639 Imber, you were learning trying to learn Japanese before we went. 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.000 I know, I did, I learned? 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.799 I do.

Jody? 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.560 Were you with us when Scott led us on a 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.200 on a wild chase to find a certain sushi restaurant 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.520 at that I. 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.200 Did not go because it was early in the morning, 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.840 and so I was like, I'm going for sushi at 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.920 seven am, and I was like, I am not. 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.040 I had sushi for breakfast a couple of times. I 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:20.680 went back to that. 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.320 Yeah, but yeah, yeah, you went there like twice and 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.200 it burned down. Remember that was another. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.359 Place, But yeah, that was crazy that it burned down. 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:30.000 We went by this. 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.160 You was like, Ben, There're like I was there yesterday. 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:33.120 That was crazy. 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.320 Wow, Scott, you were there yesterday. Something burns down. You 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.200 write an episode, the show gets canceled. I'm just saying 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.080 it's not the harbinger of bad. 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.000 But I just I remember you leading us on several 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.400 like subways or trains and like taxis, Like you're like, 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.440 I swear I'm gonna friend fund it. 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.240 It was like the wall with just like ten seats 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.320 at the bar, and we found it and and with 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.040 a lot of like, uh challenges along the way. Remember 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.480 I lost my phone. Remember I stopped at my shoes 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.840 and walked away and my phone was still there. But 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.840 it's Japan, yes, like maybe anywhere else in the world 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.920 the phone would have been gone in about two seconds 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.680 it was. We came back and there were like people 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:15.840 standing around, looking. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.919 At standing and looking right, right, what do we do? 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.080 They're so amazing and polite. That experience was so incredible, 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.440 you know, and it's not nice. 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:24.840 We had the best time. 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:26.640 Yeah, that was the best. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.760 That was Remember the day that we went and we 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.800 had that guy the guide and like the bus and 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.719 we went to those We went to like the old 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.880 part of Japan, and we went to the gardens and 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.800 we went, oh my gosh, where else did we go? 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.800 We went all like it was amazing. We went to 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.240 that place that had the octopus balls with the weird 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.520 stuff on top. That was like moving. Remember we ended 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.480 up at like this cool neighborhood with like a beer 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:51.920 haul and well. 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.200 That's right if that was like an old the old 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.480 part of Tokyo, that that is still out there, a 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.279 little bit of a out there, but yeah, it washood. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.080 We never would have found on our own without this. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.000 Guide, right, well it was. It was much of the 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.640 what Tokyo originally looked like, but a lot of that 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:13.919 didn't survive, you know, those forties. So yeah, but you 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:15.920 but it still is out there. And I do remember 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.360 it was August and they don't love air conditioning and 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.600 the old buildings did not have any and we were 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:21.080 all like. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.920 I have pictures of us looking at those. 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.960 Sweaty, sweating, so sweaty. 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.360 Yeah, but it was so I loved it so much 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.719 that I went back again. I brought my wife and 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.960 my son. We went back and had another We had 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.159 another amazing time. We had these friends who came and 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.039 met us there. It was just it's just that I 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.520 can't wait to go back again. It was amazing. That 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.799 was my last big, really big, awesome trip before the pandemic, 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.080 and it like, yeah, really scratched an itch that would 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.719 have gotten out of control during the pandemic had I 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.640 not done that trip, you know. And then yeah, we 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.680 didn't really get to go anywhere special, you know, like 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.080 on a big trip until last Christmas. We went to 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.320 we did the Italy trip. I too, and you guys know, 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.159 I'm up test with Paris. So we went to Paris 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.880 first because my son had never been to Paris, and 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.040 we had a great few days. But then Italy blew 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:07.520 his mind. He preferred Italy. 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.240 And really, what made you fall in love with Paris? 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:12.800 I mean other than the fact that you, you know, 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.479 speak the language, so I don't know, it was nicer 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:15.960 to you there. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.919 I didn't want to go. I had no interest. I 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.160 was not curious about Paris or France. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.200 I would wasn't it Bob that told you to go 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:22.720 to Paris. 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.719 No Bob met me there one time, you know what 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.599 it was. It was my girlfriend at the time, Kelly, 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:32.080 who he was studying French, and so she and so 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:33.520 we were going to go on a trip at spring 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.040 break time. I guess it was like April, and I 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.160 was thinking like somewhere beachy, like Mexico or something, you 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.279 know what I mean. But she'd been studying French, so 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.560 she had this like she was like anxious to go 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.479 to Paris. And I was like, all right, I'm not 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.480 going to complain about it. And we went and I honestly, 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.160 you know, I think she loved it, but I got 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.560 hit by the lightning bolt way harder than her, you 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.680 know what I mean. Like I was just like from 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.240 the beginning. I remember that first day just walking around 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.880 like feeling this weird connection to it, like I'm going 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.640 to live here someday and I'm going to learn how 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.400 to speak French and like I'm on the first day, 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.440 you know, And I did it. I you know, I 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.720 went when I started college, I took French like five 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.000 days a week for a long time, and I didn't 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.160 know college. So I signed up for French class at 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.440 nine am, five days a week, which was so stupid 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.200 because what college freshman wants to be awake at nine 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:27.400 am every day? But but and then I did. Then 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.800 my senior year I did. I lived there for six 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.720 months and I worked on my thesis and I was 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.720 just like obsessed with it. And then you know the 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.480 coolest thing. Actually this happened during Fuller House. You know, 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.760 I always wanted to do a show in Paris, Like 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.560 I had this idea for a rom com and I 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.240 went to pitch it to Netflix during one of our hiatuses. 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.720 I guess I bumped. It was like I was at 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.200 some Netflix ammy party and I ran into this executive 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.680 who I had known from ABC, who now works in 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.200 their foreign language stuff, and I said, I have a show, 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.200 and I think we should do it in French because 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:01.760 nobody's going to make it in English, so let's do it. 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.080 And she's like, coming, come pitch it. And so a 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.640 month later I was in her office pitching it and 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.800 I start with the little autobiographical feel about like my obsession, 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.160 the thing I just told you guys about my how 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.560 I and I said, in my dream really is to 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.560 work on a to do a rom com in Paris, 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.760 and she goes, stop right there, because I definitely want 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.960 to hear your pitch. But we have a rom com 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.400 that we're trying to get off the ground, and it's 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.120 you know, like a lot of new shows they were 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.920 there were some issues with it. It was just getting it, 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:28.680 you know, getting it in. 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:28.920 You know. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.160 It was in prep and like they had a start date. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.240 They were pushing it back because they weren't really sure, 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.400 and they said, would you maybe be interested in going 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.480 to Paris and sort of you know, making sure it 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.839 stays on track or getting it back on track, And 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.960 I was like, are you kidding? And so thank god 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.760 it has to be. It was in between Fuller House seasons. 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.280 So a month later I was in Paris working on 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.080 this show and that was really cool. We had a 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.760 writer's room with a view of the Eiffel Tower and. 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.800 Oh wow, And I kept going, wait, which show was this? 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.959 It was this show? You know, it's a Netflix show. 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.360 It's still on Netflix the net. The English title I 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:08.080 don't love. They called it the Hookup Plan, but a 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.920 weird name in French that doesn't translate. It's like an expression, 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:11.640 you know what I mean. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:13.800 It's like right, you have to say it. I want 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:14.800 to hear you speak French. 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.200 Well there's the French. Well, there's a French expression that's 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.720 probably not appropriate in English. But it's called a plan 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.199 coute like a plan Q. And it means like because 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.720 the word Q, the letter Q in French, if you 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.800 say it sounds like ass in French. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:32.439 Okay, so it means like. 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.920 So a plan Q means like a hooking up like 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.840 it means like got it, friends with that. It basically 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.040 means friends, yeah, like friends with benefits or whatever want 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.000 and so. But then so in French they called it 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.280 a They called the show plum like between like a 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.719 part plan Like it's like a play on the expression. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.960 So there's it's like a it's like a play on words, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.800 on a play on words. So it's like there's no 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:56.680 way to translate it. 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:57.840 There's no way to make it. 0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.960 So they just called it. They called it the hook 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.280 Cup Plan in English. But it's a really sweet show. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.600 It's not appropriate for youngsters. It's very mature content. 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:07.079 You know. 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.680 It's like it's like about people in their twenties and thirties, 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.720 like dating and stuff, so it's not like. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.400 Coming up with hookup plans exactly. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.439 It's not like inappropriate for grown ups. But I'm just 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.000 saying it because I know a lot of people watch 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.440 it listening to this podcast might want to, might think 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:21.880 it's like full House, which right. 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.199 Like I'm going to go right, and then they'll be 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.200 like Scott Weiner told me that I should go watch 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.000 the show, and then I'm going to get a lot 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.600 of a lot of emails. Yeah, exactly problematic. 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.000 It's a wonderful show and I'm very proud of it, but. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.960 It's not you know, but maybe not something you'd watch 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.800 with your kids like you would Fuller exactly. It's intended 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.439 for or Laddin right or Loud? Yes, What was it 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.680 like coming back as Steve during Fuller House and like 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:54.360 finally winding up the like the dude, it was crazy? 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.400 Were you nervous to come back and do it? 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.360 I didn't plan on ever doing it? Well, first of all, 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.640 who would have thought? You know, now of days, there's 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:04.400 so many successful or unsuccessful there are so many attempts 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.280 at doing these, like not spin offs like boots of 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.760 old shows. Some of them have done really well, some 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.920 of them have not. But like Fuller, full House, Fuller 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.000 House was like kind of the first one that really 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.160 hit it big, and so I didn't have I don't 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.679 know about you guys, but I didn't. My expectation was 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.400 very like I was sort of confused because I hadn't 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.680 seen a sitcom on Netflix before. Like it was just 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:29.640 the fact that we were doing it again, but fort 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.320 I didn't understand what it was like. And they just 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.680 called me and asked me to do one episode, like 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.679 just the table read for the pilot, and and they 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.959 had all this dialogue about my wife and kids. Remember 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:42.240 there was a party at the house. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah, they were in the house. 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.360 And Steve shows up. It was supposed to be like 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.400 a like the Legacy cast was going to show up, 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:50.920 and that was they would you would never hear it 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.440 right again. And but then after that first table read, 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.240 like I said, there were no stakes because I thought 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.439 the dialogue was all about my wife and kids. I 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.480 didn't think there was anything. So I had like a 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.080 really good table read. I wasn't nervous. I was didn't 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.240 feel like an audition. And I got an email from 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.160 Jeff Franklin that night saying, hey, man, you were really 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.360 funny at the table read. I think I'm gonna get 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.080 rid of that dialogue about your wife and kids, and 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.599 maybe like in the future, you could come back and 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:21.920 try to date DJ. And I was like, Okay, I 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.760 didn't think it would ever really happen, but I was like, 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:28.000 of course, I'm open to that. And then the show 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:29.840 gets you know, I guess it was already picked up 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.400 a series. It was picked up for whatever thirteen episodes already, 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.400 and so then they would keep they would reach out 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.400 to be like, is he available for another episode? 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:38.160 You know? 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.160 And I was like, and it was a really weird 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.679 thing because if I had been writing for any other 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.280 show but the one I was writing for, I probably 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.040 wouldn't have been able to do it, because you can't 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.000 just like disappear for days at a time. I was 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.679 working on the show that was shooting in England and 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.600 so and it was a musical and we had written 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.800 all the episodes. It was Galivant season two, okay, And 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.960 so they were in England shooting the show in Bristol, 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.400 and so the writers would come to work every day 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.360 without much to do. Because sometimes if you're doing shooting 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.400 a show and like a scene isn't working, your jokes 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.520 aren't working, they'll call the writer's room and say this 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.800 isn't working. But they were nine hours ahead of us 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.520 or whatever. Anyway, like they couldn't right, there was we 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.440 really didn't have a lot. I could sort of slip 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.520 out and do a fuller House episode and nobody would 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:21.040 really know that I was gone, right, And finally, you know, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.920 there was another one, and then another one, and by 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.480 the end of that first season, I was in more 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.319 than like half the episodes, and they had written the 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.920 whole love triangle with Steve and DJ and Matt and 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.760 like then at the end of that season, Jeff's like, well, 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.120 now we've sort of painted ourselves into a corner because 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.839 like I in the show, so we need to make 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.480 a deal for you to be like a regular. And 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.280 I was like, well, I don't think I could just 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.680 quit because at the time I was doing Galivan and 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:51.280 then the Muppets at the same time, and then, as 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.880 luck would have it, they both got canceled, and so 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.600 but I, you know, I so I made a deal 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.520 to be like a regular on the show, and you know, 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.760 that's how I ended up. But I loved it. I mean, 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.040 I don't know about you, guys. I mean I do 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:04.680 know about you guys, I know you loved, Like we 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.520 had the best time. It was awesome. 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:07.400 It was so fun. 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.200 It was so it was I had a lot. 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.640 Of anxiety about like skipping out on my day job 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.400 and like would there would I ever get to work 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.640 in the Like I had worked so hard to establish 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.680 myself in TV writing, and I thought if I left 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.840 or whatever, then I would be like the game's musical 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:24.840 childres to continue without me and I wouldn't be able 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.160 to get a seat ever again or whatever. But thank god, 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.960 it didn't work out that way. But but it was amazing. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.760 We had so much fun. I wish it went for 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.000 ten seasons. 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:37.920 I know, it really so hard. Every day, Yeah, every day. 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.400 Every day, like we really like it was exactly like 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.520 the old days, except we were all grown ups. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.920 It was really right, except we didn't have to study 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.760 for SATs and go do exactly work. And yeah, it 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.960 was it was actually more fun. People ask about all 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.040 the time, like, yeah, did you like Fuller? Fuller? 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.520 Seeing it through the eyes of our kids was really fun, 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:56.360 Like the kid. 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.920 Yeah, what did Misha think? What you would think about 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:00.440 the right. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.520 Age to be totally blown away by the whole thing, you. 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.800 Know, really and how old is we shout out. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.200 Now he's fourteen, which is crazy, but that's right, Yeah, 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.240 he's what would how when did we start it? Like, 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:11.720 how old would he have been? I guess was it 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.400 like nine years ago already disappointed? 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:14.960 Or it was twenty fifteen? 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.240 Oh, say it'll be nine years since that first tape? 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:19.520 Yeah wow? 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:25.000 Yeah, so yeah, he was ideal age for the our viewership. 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.480 Yeah really, yeah, it's true. But he loved coming to 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.560 the tapings and his friends were obsessed with the show 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.040 and they would all come to the tape, you know 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.640 what I mean. Yes, we had such a good time. 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:34.520 It was really fun. 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.120 And did he get a kick out of seeing you 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.040 on TV? Or did he make fun of you? Because 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.320 my kids would always make fun of me? 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.000 Yeah, you know, I guess. I mean it's crazy, but 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.960 he would have been five years old when we started, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.560 so for him everything for kids that age, nothing's weird, 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.080 you know what I mean. He's just like, I guess 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.920 this is what my dad doesn't know, like I you know, right, 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.960 And but he he loved it. He was exactly the 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:57.480 right age where like I would take him as my 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.560 date to the Kid's Choice Awards, you know, and that 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.760 was awesome, but he you know, he got a big 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.120 kick out of it. It was really really fun. It 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.080 was it was cool. And it's not like being an 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:08.560 actor on a show where you shoot it out of 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.960 town or the hours are really bad, right, well, it's 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.120 around because our hours were so amazing, you know. 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:19.760 Sitcom sitcom life is the it is the thing that 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.920 most people dream of in this business, is sitcom life 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.160 because you're usually on a four day schedule once you 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.320 kind of get in the swing of things, usually a 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:32.080 four day schedule, nothing too crazy late, especially if you're 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.720 on a show with the kids animals. Yeah, you're not 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:35.400 shooting late. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.800 It's ended always pretty early, you know. 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:41.080 And yeah, we would be done by like nine thirty. Yeah, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:42.520 that was and that would be like a late that 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.440 was the later one exactly. Yeah. 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.440 And it was also unusual because a lot of times 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.040
