Speaker 7: And then on my first day I was like I

162
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 7: was not prepared. So then the next day I came

163
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 7: in like Rare in Togo and we ended up feeling

164
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 7: like we had so much time because the script didn't

165
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 7: change much. But then my second week, the script changed

166
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 7: a lot, so much so that we didn't do.

167
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: A producer run through on Monday.

168
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 7: So we did a combo producer network run through on

169
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 7: Tuesday with a brand new script with only three hours

170
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 7: of rehearse.

171
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: God, you're shooting the next day, no.

172
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 6: Closers run through because the table read, they were like,

173
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 6: we're just going to be working on We're just.

174
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 7: Going to be working all day and there's no point

175
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 7: in putting something on its feet that that we know

176
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 7: is probably going to change. So we had you know

177
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 7: so so and then you're shooting the next day. It's like, okay,

178
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 7: you're shooting.

179
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm getting adjutve you just explaining what's happening, like I'm

180
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: imagining the change, so I get oh geez.

181
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 4: And so there are they new songs, like they have

182
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: original songs.

183
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: All the originals, and.

184
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: They've recorded them ahead of the week, and then.

185
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 7: You like, shoot yes, And they also have to learn choreography,

186
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 7: like that's how much time I have for rehearsal and

187
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 7: they're learning choreography in that time.

188
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: Like, can we give the girls twenty minutes to go

189
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: learn for full dance? Numbord's like yes, I think we

190
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: can do that. We have no we have no other choice.

191
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: These kids are working so hardly.

192
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: They are working their butts off.

193
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 7: But let me tell you the only reason that schedule

194
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 7: is at all able to work is because they are

195
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 7: so gosh darn talented and they are on their lines

196
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 7: and they are taking risks and having fun and it's

197
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 7: just beautiful. Like on my third week, because then you know,

198
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 7: my third week, I'm like, I'm in it. I know

199
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 7: exactly what we're doing. Everybody's in a nice groove. And

200
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 7: one of the girls put on a performance for us.

201
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 7: She had to play this totally different character and she

202
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 7: just came out and she had so much confidence.

203
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: And just nailed it, nailed everything.

204
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 7: It's a big set, lots of crazy blocking where she's

205
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 7: really vamping it up as this totally out of the

206
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 7: box character.

207
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: And I literally cried. I literally I cried. I cried

208
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: watching it.

209
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 7: I was like, I'm so proud of them. I'm so

210
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 7: proud of them, Like what they are doing is amazing,

211
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 7: and it was just incredible.

212
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 4: Weeks is the show about like a girl group? Are they?

213
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: Is it one of those things where it's almost like

214
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: The Monkeys, where it's like they do it's a show,

215
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: but then they also are a band that's together.

216
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: Is that thing?

217
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 7: It's a show called How We Became the Biggest Band,

218
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 7: and it takes place in two time settings, a current

219
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 7: day which is the future, where they're already the biggest

220
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 7: band and they're eighteen years old and they're telling you

221
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 7: how we got here. Most of the show then takes

222
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 7: place in flashbacks showing you how they met correct, okay,

223
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 7: how I met your mother?

224
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: With a with a with a band?

225
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 4: All the same cast or are there an adult version

226
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: and a younger.

227
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 7: The same cast, which is one of the reasons why

228
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 7: it moves so fast.

229
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: There is no B storyline. The B storyline is them in.

230
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 4: The future show.

231
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, there's no as of right now, there's no

232
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 7: adults on the show. It's just four core cast members

233
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 7: that are all miners, and so you're dealing with school schedules,

234
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 7: and you know, all of the they also are playing

235
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 7: instruments and like, you know, one of them is like

236
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 7: learning guitar, so she's in music class. Diane or In

237
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 7: is writing like half the songs. The music is incredible.

238
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 7: It gets stuck in your head. We had to listen

239
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 7: to it dozens of times. I wasn't sick of any

240
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 7: of it, which is really saying something. It was just

241
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 7: really great.

242
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: It was really hardly it.

243
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: Works because Disney does not is not really known for

244
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: their musicals, especially if that take place in high school.

245
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's usually they don't do well.

246
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 4: The old flops with Disney and musical those never work.

247
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, Welcome to Pond Meets World. I'm

248
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: Daniel Fishal, I'm righter strong.

249
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: Ah oh if it, I'm sorry, audition, We're officially done.

250
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 8: Damn it.

251
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 7: It's been quite some time since the days of the

252
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 7: Death Chair, the rotating season one child guest star who

253
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 7: changed week to week but mostly pulled from the movie

254
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 7: The Sandlot, and though we became used to seeing a

255
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 7: familiar young face thrown into the mix, whether it's Marty

256
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 7: Yorke as a best friend, Arianna Richards in a very

257
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 7: special episode, or Andrew Keegan in Orlando, the show has

258
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 7: since left the young stunt casting behind.

259
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: To focus on us, the core cast of the show.

260
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 7: So when we did have a new guest star firmly

261
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 7: set in our age bracket, especially one from a ton

262
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 7: of hit movies and TV shows, it was a big deal,

263
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 7: and this week's guest is a prime example. He rose

264
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 7: to fame as the comedic goalie in The Mighty Ducks,

265
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,479
Speaker 7: Greg Goldberg, an iconic role he'd revisit for an entire franchise,

266
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 7: but it was another Disney movie he'd star in, Heavyweights.

267
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: That many of us hold nearest and.

268
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 7: Dearest to our hearts. A bit of a child prodigy

269
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 7: when it came to making people laugh, he began his

270
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 7: career in one of the coolest places ever, Pee Wee's Playhouse,

271
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 7: and he went on to appear on shows like Sabrina,

272
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 7: Freaks and Geeks, The King of Queen's and Yes, Boy

273
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 7: Meets World, where he played Louis a new college friend

274
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 7: that appeared in two season six episodes, and beyond the

275
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 7: hilarious work he's done on screen, he has also become

276
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 7: an inspiration for those dealing with addiction, honest and open

277
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 7: about his own struggles, still using humor to cope and

278
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 7: connect with those online looking for motivation. So this week

279
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 7: on Podmets World, let's get into the flying V for

Speaker 3: Breathing fresh air is like I didn't even know.

290
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: I wasn't right I'm doing it.

291
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: Started, Yeah, it's you know, I was.

292
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 5: I was really kind of emotional, somebody.

293
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: I was kind of emotional leaving la you know.

294
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 5: I just always pictured myself living there, and from the

295
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 5: moment I got there, I was in love with that place.

296
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: So it was a little hard to go. But I

297
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 3: love it here. I's I like that.

Speaker 7: It's so good to see you. Thank you so much

300
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 7: for doing this. We want to start with where it

301
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 7: all began for you. I know that you were an

302
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 7: East Coast kid. You were out of New Jersey. So

303
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 7: how did you convince your parents to start driving you

304
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,119
Speaker 7: to the city for auditions.

305
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 5: Well, honestly, it was my it was my mom's idea, Okay,

306
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 5: but it wasn't like my mom got me into it

307
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 5: and forced me to do it.

308
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 3: She got me into it, and then once I started,

309
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: I mean I.

310
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,479
Speaker 5: Was hooked with the whole process of going on auditions

311
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 5: and I got to skip school and stuff. Yeah, I

312
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 5: was a very precocious kid, and I had older step

313
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 5: brothers and stepsisters. They were in like years older, and

314
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 5: they would get me to do crazy things like walk

315
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 5: up to adults and give them the middle finger, you know,

316
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 5: ask adults how their sex life is. When I was yeah,

317
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 5: I was walking around saying these things that adults had

00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,240

Speaker 5: because we found his stash and stash so we found

386

Speaker 2: Oh my god.

395
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: I then get beaten up and thrown off the cliff

396
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: by the drug dealer and still no, I'm like, I

397
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: fall like thirty feet down.

398
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: They put makeup on me.

399
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: My head's broken open all stuff, and so truck one,

400
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: which is what the show used to be called, shows up,

401
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: and it's all these really good looking actors. It's like

402
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: Grant Show from Melrose Place before he's on Melrose Place

403
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: and Ali Walker and all these people like repelling down

404
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: to get me and then they've got to go bury

405
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: dig him out of the cave.

406
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 4: It was like it was intense, man.

407
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: It was.

408
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 5: Listen no stunt doubles anywhere for the first time seeing

409
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 5: a squid go off right next to my head and

410
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 5: be like, I probably shouldn't get too close to that thing.

411
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 7: Both of you were both such talented young comedians. So

412
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 7: despite whatever crazy circumstances, I bet this movie is incredible.

413
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 3: Want to watch it now?

414
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's on It's on YouTube. It's an episode called

00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 4: Caves True Blue.

416
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, my evening entertainment.

417
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 7: To write that down, it would be difficult to beat

418
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 7: you for best first job. You were a recurring character

419
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 7: on Pee Wee's Playhouse, So I mean you shared the

420
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 7: screen with the legendary Paul Rubins. You probably sat on

421
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 7: cherry right.

422
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get to do that.

423
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

424
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 7: So what I mean it must have been like a

425
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 7: dream like experience. What are some of the most unreal

426
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 7: stories from set?

427
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 5: It was. I mean, they really did a good job

428
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 5: to create like a very fun, uh kid like atmosphere

429
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 5: for us when we were on set, and I remember

430
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 5: talking to, uh, the genie Phil Hartman.

431
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 4: Oh my god, wasn't that Phil?

432
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 3: Oh my god? Was that Phil Hartman?

433
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 4: That was Phil Hartman?

434
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: Was the original genie on on Pee's Playhouse.

435
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 3: I'm almost I don't know if that was the guy.

436
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 5: I mean, I have to check down now, I have

437
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 5: to check because that was Phil Hartman. Then I've got

438
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 5: some crazy Phil Hartman memories. But what I mean, I

439
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 5: remember just seeing the movie Pee's Big Adventure.

440
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 3: Movie at that age, I'm not.

441
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 2: Who was it, John Peck.

442
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 5: John Paragot came so Phil did it like first, and

443
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 5: then that guy came in.

444
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 3: And did like.

445
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 5: But anyway, I saw Peey's Big Adventure and found out

446
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 5: I had an audition for this show. And I'm not

447
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 5: sure that I really understood the difference between like real.

448
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 3: Life and movies.

449
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: So going on to.

450
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 5: Pee Wee's, going on to the set there, it was

451
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 5: really mind blowing. But what I do remember is I

452
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 5: fell in love with like the trick of movie making.

453
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 5: When I found out there was a guy sitting inside Cherry,

454
00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 5: I was like.

455
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 3: Oh, this is so cool, and I really I really.

456
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 5: Got enamored with that whole thing of like you know,

457
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 5: making a camera tricks, you know what I mean, definitely

458
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 5: one of the aspects that also you know, made me

459
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 5: fall in love with the whole movie making things.

460
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: So that was that was a crazy experience.

461
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 5: One another memory that stands out one hundred percent is

462
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 5: uh Laurence fishburn Lawrence Fishburne.

463
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: Used to show us his tongue.

464
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 5: And he had some kind of crazy thing where his

465
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 5: tongue it looks like a lizard of what It's a

466
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 5: big triangle with like wedges, and we were.

467
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 3: Thinking of that.

468
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 5: He'd be like, check this out, and he'd go and

469
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 5: the thing would come out to hear and wave around.

470
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

471
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 6: Definitely something never party trick was not on my card today.

472
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, stuck out for sure. If I ever meet him,

473
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 5: you see him and I haven't seen him since, but

474
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 5: if I ever see him again.

475
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: He'd be like, I have a memory. I'm going to

476
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 2: need to make sure correct.

477
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 4: That I didn't just dream this.

478
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 3: That's the thing too, what of my mind's just playing tricks.

479
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 4: On me and has a totally normal tongue.

480
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: I have a question was was there did did Paul

481
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: Rubens break character.

482
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 4: On the set or was he always Peek. He was

483
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 4: always pee Wee, right, he was.

484
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 5: Always Peee, but a very quick story to kind of

485
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 5: give you an idea of the kind of guy he was.

486
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: So I got the audition and it's it's.

487
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 5: Tomorrow, and I stayed up all night memorizing my five lines,

488
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna do a scene with pee.

489
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 3: Wee the next day.

490
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 5: My mom schleps me into New York, like a three

491
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 5: hour trip, and there's all the waiting, and you know,

492
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 5: it's five hours before I'm in a room with the guy,

493
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 5: and mind Joe only sticks. So I get into the

494
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 5: room and uh, Paul there, but he's not in character.

495
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 3: He's just Paul Rubens and he's got a beard and.

496
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 5: He has glasses, and I just I didn't believe it

497
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 5: was him. And so they kept telling me that's Paul,

498
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 5: and I'm like, listen, I know him only six right, I.

499
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 4: Know pee Wee. When I see pee Wee, that ain't

500
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 4: pee Wee.

501
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 5: And so I gave them such a hard time because

502
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 5: I was this kind of kid, you know. And so

503
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 5: Paul left the room for about half hour however.

504
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: Long, and transformed himself into Pewee.

505
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 5: Everything costume and came back into the room as Peeley

506
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 5: so that I could the audition, and I told him,

507
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 5: I said, Peeley, I just got to let you know

508
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 5: before you got here, there was some guy and he's

509
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 5: telling everybody that he was you.

510
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 3: And Paul said, yeah, that was Paul. He does that

511
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 3: to everybody.

512
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Yeah he says that to people.

00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 4: Man, I was in the Z building my first year

550
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 4: than the M building. Yeah, it's so quick.

551
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 3: I don't think it's the oak Woods anymore.

552
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 4: It's not. And there's no pilot season, so I went, now,

553
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 4: it's just DIVORCEMN. So yeah, it's strained.

554
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 5: I knew. I knew the tennis coach at the oak Woods.

555
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 5: You know people that don't know. It's like a little

556
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 5: city within a city, right, Yeah, And I knew the

557
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 5: tennis coach and his main hustle was he would give

558
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 5: free tennis lessons and he was friends with all of

559
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 5: the hot child actors. When oak Wood ride up, I'm

560
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 5: sure his you know, personal life did too.

561
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 4: Funny.

562
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: So after Pee Wee's Playhouse.

563
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 7: You go into an arc on Webster, which is another

564
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 7: slightly hallucinatory show. You played Herbert. What was your character.

565
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 5: I think that was just you know, Webster had like

566
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 5: a group of friends, and I was one of them

567
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 5: and the other one was Miambiolic.

568
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: Oh wow, Yeah, it.

569
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 5: Was me and Mim and all of the episodes that

570
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 5: we were on, We're on a handful, we were kind

571
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 5: of recurring and it was always me and her going

572
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 5: on together.

573
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: Wow.

574
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 7: Similarly to p Emmanuel Lewis as Webster is like a

575
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 7: real larger than life character to young jen xers.

576
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 2: What was it like to work with him?

577
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 5: I was like obsessed with the manual because I was

578
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 5: a Michael Jackson fan and he used to go around

579
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 5: with Michael all the time. Michael he would either bring

580
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 5: an Emmanuel of the monkey bubbles.

581
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 4: Bubbles.

582
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 3: I don't know how he would pick.

583
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 5: But it was a little odd because he was like

584
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 5: an adult. So when we got on the show, like

585
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 5: he wasn't the age he was playing. I guess he

586
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 5: was playing eleven, but he was probably eighteen or nineteen

587
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 5: right older.

588
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: So he was very cool, but he didn't We didn't

589
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: really spend a lot of time together because of.

590
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: That, because he was an adult.

591
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: But he was very nice and we still keep in touch.

592
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: On that's great.

593
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: Thanks God for Instagram. You know you can just drop anyone, Aline.

594
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 3: I know it's it's a little annoying.

595
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 5: As like from the celebrity standpoint, because you know, used

596
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 5: to be had to write somebody a fan mail and

597
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 5: you could ignore them.

598
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 3: You can't do that anymore. You got to answer.

599
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 7: Just before what would end up being your big break,

600
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 7: you did an episode of The Cosby Show, completing a

601
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 7: very surreal trilogy of first gigs. It is the biggest

602
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 7: sitcom in the universe at the time.

603
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 2: That job couldn't have been easy. What was that like?

604
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 5: It was like, you want to talk about an energy

605
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 5: pulsating that's tangible going on that set.

606
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 3: It was like being in a part of something that.

607
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 5: Was like alive and taking and such a beautiful energy

608
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 5: there in New York. And the first day I went

609
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 5: for my audition, I ran into Adam Sandler because he

610
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 5: was on the show too, and I guess he was

611
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 5: at the production office for some but I had a

612
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 5: whole chat with Adam and got to be friends with

613
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 5: him and didn't even know it was Adam Sandler. Yeah,

614
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 5: so we Adam and I go back to you know

615
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 5: whatever year that was, was that like nineteen eighty seven?

616
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: Yes, what crazy?

617
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 7: Okay, So let's get into Mighty Ducks. So then Mighty

618
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 7: Ducks comes along and you would play the iconic Goldberg.

619
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 7: What was that audition like, did you have any hockey experience?

620
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 5: I had no hockey experience, but the character when I

621
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 5: got the part, wasn't for a character named Goldberg, who

622
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 5: was originally written to be a kid named a Tuk.

623
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 3: And you only had one line in the whole movie.

624
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: I'm the Tuk, the goalie.

625
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 5: So when we got to training camp, I think the

626
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 5: producers and you know they the writers, they got to

627
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 5: know us a little better, and I suppose they figured

628
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 5: with my big mouth, I'd be better suited, you know,

629
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 5: making more remarks.

630
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, with that dialogue.

631
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

632
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 5: When I get the part, it was just the one line,

633
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 5: and it took us over six months of auditioning, and

634
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 5: I must have been back five or six times.

635
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: And you guys know how it is.

636
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 5: You go in the room and they weren't giving me,

637
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 5: giving me any notes or anything. So I was just

638
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 5: going in the room and doing that, I took the

639
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 5: goalie every time.

640
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, wait, they brought you back that many

641
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: times for just that one line.

642
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: That one line.

643
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 6: They were probably doing like tons of mix and match

644
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 6: sessions and they were like, which which group of kids

645
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 6: looks the best on camera?

646
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I think back, that had had to do

647
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: what it was.

648
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 7: Oh, so you're thrown into a hockey team, albeit it's

649
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 7: a fictional one, but you're filming in Minnesota together.

650
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: Did you guys have bonding.

651
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 7: Exercises and all start to have that like real team connection?

652
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 5: And I would say our bonding exercise was training camp

653
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 5: because before the movie.

654
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 3: They had to teach us liars who told them we

655
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 3: knew how to play, And we did a camp, a

656
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: training camp that was legit right.

657
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 5: It was you know, eight in the morning till three

658
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 5: every day and I think it was three months.

659
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: So where did you Where were you staying?

660
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 5: They put us off at like the fattest condominium situation

661
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 5: you could ask for.

662
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: It was nice working.

663
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 5: It was my first like film, and it was awesome

664
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 5: to do it for a big company like Disney.

665
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: I thought that now they would all.

666
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 11: Be yeah, yeah exactly, so yeah, we definitely so Not

667
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 11: only did we have training camp, but we also did

668
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 11: recreational stuff together.

669
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 5: They would put us all in the duck bus and

670
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 5: like take us to a movie or land. So we

671
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 5: definitely I don't know about I can't speak for the

672
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 5: other guys, but I definitely felt like I was really

673
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 5: part of a team, and I think that really showed in.

674
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: The in the film.

675
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 5: I think that's what, you know, people can relate to that.

676
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 5: That feeling kind of probably comes off screen.

677
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 7: Do you love seeing people in Goldberg jerseys now so

678
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 7: many years later?

679
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 3: It never gets old? Danielle ye Old, Yeah, no, it's awesome.

680
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: Did Emilio Estevez feel like your coach.

681
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 3: Milo, That's a really good question.

682
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if he felt like a coach To me,

683
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 5: he always just felt like a movie star, Okay, yeah, yeah,

684
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 5: because Amelio was a movie star at that time, and

685
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 5: you know, he didn't he wasn't. It wasn't you know,

686
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 5: his personality wasn't affected in that way. But he definitely

687
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 5: had movie star energy.

688
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had that presence.

689
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 5: So when he was around, you know, I was always

690
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 5: just kind of starstruck. I'll be honest with you, But

691
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 5: he could not have been like any cooler or any

692
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 5: you know, more down to earth and just an awesome

693
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 5: guy to work with. He would do a couple of

694
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 5: times he would rent out a movie theater and just.

695
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: Have us all go to watch some movie together.

696
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 5: He had a one come out called Judgment Night, and

697
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 5: he took us to see that one.

698
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 3: I like that as a team.

699
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: That's really cool. That's very cool.

700
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 7: So after Mighty Ducks comes out, you become very recognizable.

701
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 7: How does life change for you after that movie comes out?

702
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 3: I guess when you mentioned I guess it did change

703
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 3: a little bit. I mean it was kind of.

704
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 5: A gradual thing because I was doing TV and I

705
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 5: was getting recognized for stuff. But definitely getting recognized in public.

706
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: Was something to get used to. I enjoyed it.

707
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 5: I always it never bothered me in the way I

708
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 5: see you know. I guess there are certain times where

709
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 5: you know you're having dinner or something and it's.

710
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 3: A little weird. Yeah, but I always enjoyed.

711
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 5: Just I felt like it was a complement of the work.

712
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 5: And I never really took personal credit for how successful

713
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 5: The Mighty Ducks was, and I just figured that I

714
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 5: was a part of something that was really successful, and

715
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 5: I was very proud of it.

716
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: I guess you'd say, yeah, so great, so healthy.

717
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 5: A shoot was that I didn't get I didn't start

718
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 5: the problem with me didn't start till later.

719
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 3: It was fantastic.

720
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 4: How long a shoot was Mighty Ducks? Uh?

721
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 5: Well so two months of camp and then maybe ninety

722
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: days of a shoot.

723
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: Okay, so like full five months and then you shown

724
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 2: for D two?

725
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 7: How long how long after the first one came out

726
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 7: did you guys go back for D two?

727
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 3: I want to say less than a year?

728
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 4: Oh wow?

729
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 7: Okay.

730
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: So he likes to pump them out if they if

731
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: they know they have a hit, it's like, let's do

732
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: the next one.

733
00:34:59,000 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 4: Yep.

734
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 5: I think they got the I did have the hockey

735
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 5: team and they were like, all right, let's let's do well.

736
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's I mean, is this the first time Ryder?

737
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: You're good with all this this Hollywood stuff, but I mean,

738
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: is this the first time a fictional sporting team literally

739
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: then became a professional sporting team.

740
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 4: I think so.

741
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 6: I remember the Mighty Ducks stadium and the tea and

742
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 6: it was just like, this is crazy that Disney's going

743
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 6: this big and making this a thing.

744
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 2: Like yeah, it was also it's illegal.

745
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 4: I started buying up the world.

746
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: But I remember that because I went to a Mighty

747
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: Ducks game and I wore my Whaler's jersey, and literally

748
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: the next day in my dressing room there was a

749
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: Mighty Ducks jersey with a note from somebody at Disney

750
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: was like, saw you at the game last night.

751
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 4: If you go again, please wear this. I remember, And

752
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 4: it was like.

753
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, I guess sorry for Disney.

754
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 5: Did that happen after the show is on the air

755
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 5: that Disney and ab she became Buddy.

756
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was like ninety six ninety seven, so it

757
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 7: was in the middle of our run answering. Yeah, yeah,

758
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 7: So I want to talk Heavyweights. It's one of the

759
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 7: darker Disney comedies ever made, written by jud Appatoo, follows

760
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 7: a group of kids sent to a weight loss camp

761
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 7: run by maybe one of the funniest and most psychotic performances.

762
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 4: Ever heard with Ben Stiller.

763
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 7: Stiller is Tony Purkis. How do you not break in

764
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 7: every scene with him?

765
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 3: Dude? That is a great question.

766
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 5: It's the only time I've ever had an issue with

767
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 5: that in my entire career, which was not a thing

768
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 5: for me. Right but have a straight face. When Ben

769
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 5: was doing that thing like this close to you was difficult,

770
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 5: was difficult, and I can be honest, like Ben wasn't

771
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 5: trying to be funny, right, he was very intense and

772
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 5: very like scary. It was definitely a little scary. I

773
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 5: think he wanted to have that effect on us, and

774
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure it worked on everywhere.

775
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 7: I mean definitely how much of it was improv versus

776
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 7: actually scripted.

777
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 5: I want to say almost everything he said was his

778
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 5: own off the cuff stuff.

779
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: I mean they might have like.

780
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 5: Arranged it a little before the tape, you know, but

781
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 5: so much it was all, you know, And I think

782
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 5: that was it was like that for all of us

783
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 5: and where we had the freedom if we wanted to go.

784
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 3: Off the books, and that was just amazing, you know,

785
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 3: to have that setup.

786
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 5: And I think that's kind of where Judd began to

787
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 5: develop that style of his you know, let's comedians sort

788
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 5: of writ So yeah, definitely we were allowed.

789
00:37:59,320 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 3: To do that.

790
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 5: And it was weird because on The Mighty Ducks the

791
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 5: directors we had were also very encouraging when it came

792
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 5: to improvise, not improvising at living because we had a

793
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 5: lot of scenes where it was like, you know, the

794
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 5: ducks make their way to the limo, or the ducks

795
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 5: make their way to the bench. You know, there's shots

796
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 5: of a lot of us moving somewhere, and always they

797
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 5: were always open to us picturing the lines.

798
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I love that.

799
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I thought that's how it would be all

800
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 5: the time, and you know, not so much. You know,

801
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 5: I started working on sitcoms and stuff, and you can't

802
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 5: show up on Boy World and be like, I'd like

803
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 5: to say this right now, can we try it?

804
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 4: My way?

805
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 7: Was Ben able to turn it off between the scenes,

806
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 7: like was he laughing joking with you guys, or was

807
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 7: he pretty much in character?

808
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 3: Ben was sitting character.

809
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 5: He really did, and I think you know, the way

810
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 5: he did that was by separation, and he was he

811
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 5: wasn't lax about it.

812
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,479
Speaker 3: It was like cut, I'll be over here.

813
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 5: And he was very deliberate in not establishing friendly relationships

814
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 5: with us.

815
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 2: Right friend on this movie.

816
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if if that, you know, worked for

817
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 5: him because he didn't like kids or fat kids or what.

818
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: But he definitely made.

819
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 5: A choice to do that and I think it worked.

820
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 5: But on the last day of production, Uh, you know,

821
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 5: we were out there three months and I walked up

822
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 5: to him and I said, Ben, like I went to

823
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 5: shake his hand. I said, this has been just the

824
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 5: magical experience learning from you and observing for you, and

825
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 5: I just want to thank you for an incredible shoot.

826
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 5: And he shook my hand and said, you're welcome, and

827
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 5: what's your name again?

828
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, was he even serious?

829
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 3: I don't know. Wow.

830
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 6: Movie is like a cult classic because it didn't really

831
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 6: hit at the time. But I remember, like ten years later,

832
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 6: like I guess in the early aughts, having a friend

833
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 6: be like, you haven't seen Heavyweights.

834
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 4: You have to watch this movie.

835
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 6: It is so good and so dark and interesting ways

836
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 6: And I remember watching it and just I want to

837
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 6: see it again now that we're talking about it. But

838
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 6: I remember being like, oh, yeah, this is kind of

839
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 6: a missed masterpiece.

840
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 4: It's it's like really funny and interesting.

841
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 6: And Ben Stiller, he has this tradition of films that

842
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 6: are very like dark and edgy, and you know, like

843
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 6: the same with Cable Guy.

844
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 4: And there are movies that they didn't reach.

845
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 6: Like a popular audience, but we look back on them

846
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 6: now and we're like, they were really kind of ahead

847
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 6: of their time in terms of their comedy and what

848
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 6: they were saying really interesting.

849
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 7: Guys and Geeks team was also involved in it, and

850
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 7: you ended up being on Freaks and Geeks quite a bit. Sean, Yeah, okay,

851
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 7: it works.

852
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: Loved you.

853
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 5: I loved that show and I wanted to be on

854
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 5: and they just didn't like I really wasn't a freak

855
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 5: and I really wasn't a geek. So really, what happened,

856
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 5: I don't know how much into the weeds you want

857
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 5: to get into, but what happened was at the time

858
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 5: and I was sort of doing a day player part

859
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 5: on there, and my manager advised me to quit the show.

860
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 5: Okay and one of the top shows of all time

861
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 5: people and so being at that age and you know,

862
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 5: paying somebody to give me advice, I took his advice

863
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 5: and I ended up quitting the show maybe after five

864
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 5: episodes or six episodes, probably just stuck it out.

865
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 7: What do you think the where do you think that

866
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 7: advice came from? What do you think your manager was

867
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 7: trying to do?

868
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 3: Well?

869
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 5: I mean I know where it came from because I

870
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 5: was making a lot of money doing like series regular

871
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 5: and I had just come off a series regular thing,

872
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 5: and then I was doing a day player part and

873
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 5: I remember him saying, how do you expect to ask

874
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 5: people to pay you blank amount if you're going to show.

875
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 3: Up for nothing enough? Yeah?

876
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: And so.

877
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 3: I took his advice.

878
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 5: And you know, that's probably if I had any regrets

879
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 5: career wise, that was probably not a good decision because

880
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,919
Speaker 5: I wanted to be on the show and I liked

881
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 5: those guys right.

882
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 3: And it meant something.

883
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 5: You know, I've made smaller projects myself, and you know,

884
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 5: when people who are with you and want to work

885
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 5: with you, it means a lot. And when they say

886
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 5: I don't want to be part of this, you remember that,

887
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 5: you know, yeah exactly. So I think it it might have,

888
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 5: you know, just affected my personal relationships with those guys.

889
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: So what are you going to do.

890
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 2: As a kid?

891
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 7: You had such an old soul aura about you and

892
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 7: the characters that you played, very old school wise beyond

893
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 7: your years, comedy chops.

894
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: Where do you think that came from?

895
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 3: I don't know.

896
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 5: I mean, as I mentioned before, I had older brothers

897
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 5: and sisters, so I think I would, you know, mimic

898
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 5: them a lot. But also people used to tell me

899
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 5: that I reminded them of Jackie Gleason, I could see

900
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 5: that he happened to be one of the guys that

901
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 5: I started watching from a very young age.

902
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 3: So I think most of my.

903
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 5: Comedy, like the way in which it ended up manifesting,

904
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 5: was influenced mostly by watching I Love Lucy and by

905
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 5: watching Honeymooners. Yeah, so that stuff sort of has is

906
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 5: you know, has an older time games.

907
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 6: It's like old timey comedy.

908
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 5: Exactly those rhythms, you know that that that cadence and

909
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 5: even some of the body movements. So maybe that's that's

910
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 5: where that came from me trying to emulate my heroes basically,

911
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 5: but I can see that.

912
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 7: And then you on Boy Meets World, with your first

913
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 7: episode being season six, You're married, You're dead, And I

914
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 7: know you had done one episode of Charles in Charge

915
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 7: with Michael back in nineteen eighty eight, But did you

916
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 7: have to audition for this Boy Meets World role or

917
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 7: was I just offered to you?

918
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 3: I don't think I did.

919
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 5: I think what happened was I was looking for jobs

920
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 5: here and there, and somebody had had remembered that I

921
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 5: was friends with Michael somehow, and I think my manager

922
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 5: pitched me to him. Hey, do you have anything for

923
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 5: him on the show? And I think he was nice

924
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 5: enough to give me, you know that part. I mean,

925
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 5: I'm sure I had to come in and do something

926
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 5: and it's just handed to me, But I don't.

927
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 3: Remember it being like a typical audition.

928
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I probably just had to come in

929
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 5: and read for them, you know that that sort of thing.

930
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: Had you ever seen Boy Meets World before?

931
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 4: Are you kidding?

932
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 3: Listen?

933
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 5: And this is what's crazy, because I rewatched the episode

934
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 5: just yesterday and there's a lot of there's It's really

935
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 5: the theme in the show that my characters talking about

936
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 5: was really a very true to life thing for me,

937
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 5: because well, I just got to say, you guys, you know,

938
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 5: back then, it was like cool was the thing.

939
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 3: It was all about being cool, right, and you guys as.

940
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 5: A group were the coolest kids on the face.

941
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 3: Of the earth. It looked like it looked like.

942
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 5: And also I remember I remember being having that feeling too.

943
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 5: When I got there. I was like, wait a second,

944
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 5: these kids aren't trying to be cool. They're being funny,

945
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 5: like you guys are working hard on comedy. And I

946
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 5: remember thinking about that too, him like, well, Will is

947
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 5: that cool? He's not trying to he's trying to be

948
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 5: a comedian and being cool. Kind of a but you

949
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean I had such a boy crush

950
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 5: on Ryder and then getting in there to work with

951
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 5: you guys, it was just like I remember how special

952
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 5: and awesome it felt.

953
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you want to talk about getting in with

954
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 3: the cool kids, I made it.

955
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: We did not feel cool at it all ever, so strange.

956
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 3: No god, no, wait a second.

957
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 5: You mean to tell me you're on the cover of

958
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 5: Team Beat and that doesn't help feel make it feel cool.

959
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 6: No, it was the opposite for me. It made me

960
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 6: feel like so insecure. Like you talk about getting recognized

961
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 6: and feeling proud and like happy that you I would

962
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 6: run away head down, like just trying. I was so

963
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:48,959
Speaker 6: insecure and freaked out.

964
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 7: Used to feel like a real actor. Sitcom acting wasn't

965
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 7: the real work he wanted to be doing.

966
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was.

967
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 6: I felt trapped on a show that didn't makes sense

968
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 6: and it just didn't feel like me. I mean, in retrospect,

969
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 6: we were having fun, like we loved each other and

970
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 6: we were having fun on the set, But as far

971
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 6: as the work itself, like I was just like, this

972
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 6: is not my jam because I just never watched TV.

973
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 6: I didn't know what was going on, and it just

974
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 6: didn't feel like me. So I was incredibly insecure.

975
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 4: But but we were always having fun on the show.

976
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 5: So interesting, right, I gotta tell you, it's just the

977
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 5: way you might have been insecure, but it just came

978
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 5: off as I'm a movie star and I'm shy. That

979
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 5: is so interesting to hear you say that, and what

980
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 5: a trip. You know, things are so complicated right, totally.

981
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 5: And one of the things that, uh, that was noteworthy

982
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 5: for me last night was that, you know, were you

983
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 5: watching the episode like you and Ben were a comedy team,

984
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 5: but it seemed like Ben like he wanted you to

985
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 5: be the straight guy.

986
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 3: Am I right about that?

987
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 4: Definitely? Definitely?

988
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is the star of the show, so he

989
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 3: was right.

990
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 6: Well, no, it's you know, we've been watching the show

991
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 6: because like for me, when we're doing this rewatch podcast,

992
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,959
Speaker 6: is me watching the show for the first time because

993
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 6: I never watched it and so going back, yeah, it's

994
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 6: it's it's interesting like in the first couple of seasons

995
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 6: that dynamic, like when when they found that that Ben

996
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 6: and I could play off of each other. It really

997
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,919
Speaker 6: changed the show and it became sort of its own thing.

998
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 6: But now watching these later seasons, they're giving me less

999
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 6: and less to do, and I am becoming much more

1000
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 6: just sort of the normal, boring, straight guy, and Ben's

1001
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 6: becoming the like neurotic you know, and it's it's the

1002
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 6: dynamic of shifting.

1003
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 4: I think the show worked better when we were more.

1004
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 2: Of a duo.

1005
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 5: Do you think that was something that he like, you know,

1006
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 5: talked to the writers about.

1007
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 3: I was just interested.

1008
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 5: I was like, I wonder if Ben said to them, like,

1009
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 5: I want to be more you know, know.

1010
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 6: He could just brought it. He was just such a

1011
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 6: funny guy in real life, and I think that he

1012
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 6: had such a sense of humor that they that he

1013
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 6: just kept ratcheting up this like sort of bizarre character,

1014
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 6: this different version of Corey, and then they ran with

1015
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 6: it because it really is funny, and you know, it

1016
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 6: makes for it becomes the engine of the later seasons,

1017
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 6: is like that he is this neurotic mess and that

1018
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 6: he isn't getting along in the world like that, as

1019
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 6: opposed to where they started, which was that he was,

1020
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 6: you know, more like a character you would play a

1021
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 6: sort of smart alec, fast talking kid. That's how he

1022
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 6: started on the show, but they quickly made it much

1023
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 6: more where Ben wanted to go, which was like a

1024
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 6: freaked out you know.

1025
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 2: Go around me going yeah yeah.

1026
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 3: People.

1027
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: People forget that how funny Ben is to the point

1028
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: where when I look back, I go, oh, that's right.

1029
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,439
Speaker 4: He's literally one of the funniest people I've ever worked

1030
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 4: with in my life. I mean, that's Ben is hysterically

1031
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 4: funny on a camera.

1032
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: It got a little muddled in the middle seasons there

1033
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: because I think they were trying to find what Corey

1034
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: was going to be. But now that they've you know,

1035
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, unleashed him in the

1036
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: later seasons, he's just hysterically funny.

1037
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 4: Oh well.

1038
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 3: Also, there's a lot of mouths to feed on that cast.

1039
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 5: You will you were like, bro, you were such a

1040
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 5: good actor and so funny, like the work you did

1041
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 5: in the in this episode where you're doing the whole

1042
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 5: uh you know, the Truman Show character, like.

1043
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 4: That's the one you watched? Okay, because we were wondering

1044
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 4: which one you watch, because we we did.

1045
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 1: The first one we did was your first episode You're

1046
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: Married Poker.

1047
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 3: And I didn't see that. I didn't see that.

1048
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: It's probably better that you didn't. It's not our favorite episode.

1049
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: You were great with what they gave you. You were

1050
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: great and the you know, the nothing wrong with the acting.

1051
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: The story was muddled and weird. But the Truman Show one.

1052
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: These guys don't remember that at all, and I fully

1053
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: remember that. I fully remember that episode, so I remember

1054
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: how involved I was. But when I told them we

1055
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 1: brought it up a couple episodes ago, I was like, oh, yeah,

1056
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: the Truman Show episode.

1057
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 4: And they're like, what are you doing?

1058
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 2: Remember that season is it's later this season?

1059

Speaker 4: Right? Yeah, it's later later six, season six.

1060
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 3: They just really did an excellent job. And I remember watching.

1061
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 5: You work on that, and you know there's there's a

1062
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 5: scene where there's like maybe fifty extras, right, And I

1063
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 5: remember watching you work on the scene that week, just

1064
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 5: you know, finding the comedy beats and really you know,

1065
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 5: working with the writers to get it down and then

1066
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 5: on the tape day, like fifty.

1067
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 3: Dudes show up.

1068
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we have to act like they've been it

1069
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 5: all the long time.

1070
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 3: Right, of this a strange, a strange flip.

1071
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 4: To have happen. Man, that's hysterical.

1072
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 7: So you didn't watch the first episode that you did,

1073
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 7: which is You're Marriage, You're Dead, and you play Louis

1074
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 7: the Lackey to Gambling Dan, an actor who appeared to

1075
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 7: be about twenty years older than you late fifties. What

1076
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 7: do you remember about your first week on the show?

1077
00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 2: What are what were your experiences?

1078
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 5: Like, I gotta be honest, and I remembered the feeling

1079
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 5: as soon as the episode came on. I was really,

1080
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 5: I don't know how to say, hormonal, hormonal, and the

1081
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 5: chicks on that set, Danielle, I mean I was.

1082
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 3: I wouldn't you know.

1083
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 5: I was just when you came into the room.

1084
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 3: My chemistry would change. I know, I how to control myself, Danielle.

1085
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 5: And then the other girl, the redhead, I would just

1086
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 5: look so basically the whole time anybody was around, I

1087
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 5: was just like trying to keep it together and try

1088
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 5: to keep it together, and I was losing.

1089
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 3: My mind by all like the hot.

1090
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 5: And then in the in that episode, were there I

1091
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 5: want to say, there's somebody doing a lap dance kind of.

1092
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 4: And the girls are sitting on us, yes, ordering stuff.

1093
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1094
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, So basically I'm just bursting at the seams, Danielle.

1095
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 5: The whole time, being like, I gotta go to my

1096
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 5: trailer for a minute.

1097
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 4: Oh god, yeah, it was Pubert.

1098
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 3: I remember that show reminded me of puberty.

1099
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 5: Watching it, I was just like, holy man, it was

1100
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,959
Speaker 5: like madness, madness. But I do remember you guys being

1101
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 5: very gracious and welcoming. It's kind of weird because you

1102
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 5: guys have like your little family there, and then you know,

1103
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 5: strangers come in and a lot of times, you know,

1104
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 5: I've been a regular on shows and strangers come in

1105
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 5: and they kind of act like they own the place,

1106
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 5: and it's just like there's like weird dynamics that are involved.

1107
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 5: But you guys were very sweet and friendly and welcoming,

1108
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 5: and it makes a big difference, you know, when you

1109
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 5: go on a show like that.

1110
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: Well, I also remember that was the first time I'd

1111
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: seen you in ten years, because I remember walking onto

1112
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 1: the set and of course they don't tell us who's

1113
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: coming on, and I saw you and I was like,

1114
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, you and I ran over gave each

1115
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: other a big hogs like because.

1116
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 4: I hadn't seen you since that set in New York, right, So.

1117
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was you know, here you are out here,

1118
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 5: you are out in Los Angeles, you're famous on a

1119
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 5: TV show and you do.

1120
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 4: You were you were the Mighty Ducks. Everything. It was

1121
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 4: like we made it.

1122
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: The clim Yeah, well it's because we saved all that

1123
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: drug dealer's money and flew out here.

1124
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 4: It worked like a charm.

1125
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really felt very special, like.

1126
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 5: Really it was, you know, looking back on it, it was

1127
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 5: really a magical experience.

1128
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 3: I hate to put it like that, but very nice.

1129
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 7: And so now on the other side of sobriety for you,

1130
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 7: which we are all so proud of you for. By

1131
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 7: the way, how much did the allure of Hollywood and

1132
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 7: the situations we were all put in as kid actors

1133
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 7: dealing with fame play into your ability to find that scene?

1134
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 5: Well, I mean really, when I look back on it,

1135
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 5: my my my issues really sunk in when all of

1136
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 5: that stuff went away. So I never really got into

1137
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 5: like drugs or anything while I was working, and it

1138
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 5: was when it was when I stopped working and I

1139
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 5: basically walked away from.

1140
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 3: Things thinking that I could just you know, roll back

1141
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 3: in whenever.

1142
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 5: And so when the life of being in movies and television,

1143
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 5: when that disappeared, I think boredom really became something that

1144
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 5: was very hard for me to deal with. You know,

1145
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 5: when there's a kid actor and you're working on stuff,

1146
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 5: there's always something. There's a press tour or a screening

1147
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 5: or something, and just the excitement of.

1148
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 3: Showing up to work on a sitcom it's very exciting.

1149
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 5: Right when that stuff went away, it definitely created an

1150
00:55:53,800 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 5: enormous void that I had difficulty filling. That's definitely affected

1151
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 5: me and definitely.

1152
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 3: Was a big deal.

1153
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 5: But maybe not in like the traditional way that people

1154
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 5: might assume exactly.

1155
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's actually it's not like Hollywood itself didn't lead you.

1156
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 2: There was the absence of that in your life.

1157
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 5: Because when I was getting into things like it was

1158
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 5: becoming hip to sort of like the clean lifestyle was

1159
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 5: taking over, like the cocaine party nights. So when I

1160
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 5: came to Hollywood, everyone was doing their best to try

1161
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 5: to be as healthy as possible.

1162
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 3: That's true, nobody really. I never really had adults really

1163
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 3: give me anything, you know.

1164
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 7: So I know a lot of your struggles were documented

1165
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 7: on the internet, including your mugshot and aspects of life

1166
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 7: many people face, just not in public. Did it make

1167
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 7: that entire situation harder for you to overcome? Knowing that

1168
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 7: everything was being documented, even if you didn't want it

1169
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 7: to be, Like, how did that play into your recovery?

1170
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 5: Honestly, I think in some ways it made it a

1171
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 5: little easier, Daniel, because first of all, it made me

1172
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 5: have to surrender earlier than I might have. Because when

1173
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 5: you have, you know, stories about you on the news

1174
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 5: and the narrative really isn'tcorrect, There's nothing I could do

1175
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 5: about it from a jail cell. So I had to

1176
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 5: decide to surrender early on, which ended up being a

1177
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 5: major benefit in the twelve step program. Yeah, and then

1178
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 5: also I was the benefit of a tremendous amount of

1179
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 5: support from people, and that really made a difference to me.

1180
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 5: I didn't know that these movies I was in were

1181
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 5: meaningful to people. I got so many letters from people

1182
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 5: telling me that they didn't want to go to school

1183
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 5: because they were overweight and they felt a certain way.

1184
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 5: But after seeing Heavyweights, that movie alone just made them

1185
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 5: feel okay about being heavy and yeah, and so many

1186
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 5: kids benefited from that. And so when I when I

1187
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 5: started getting this kind of support from people and I

1188
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 5: started doing better, it became a thing where I didn't

1189
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 5: want to let anybody down, right, and that it really

1190
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 5: helped me in my recovery because like early on I was,

1191
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 5: I had ravaged myself so badly that I didn't have

1192
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 5: a self to recover for, so I really started recovering

1193
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 5: for everybody that was watching any.

1194
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 4: Sense, it's amazing.

1195
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's so strange because it's it, but it

1196
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense because as somebody who was born and

1197
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: grown to be an entertainer, you naturally look for an audience.

1198
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 4: And so that's just that's a very natural thing.

1199
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: Because as somebody who who is a natural entertainer like

1200
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: you are, you want to please the audience watching you,

1201
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: and in this case, you're doing it to make yourself healthy.

1202
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: It's such an interesting dynamic of how that works as

1203
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: an entertainer.

1204
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 4: It's so so strange.

1205
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's really brilliant, Will, because I've never nobody's ever

1206
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 5: put it to me like that, and but that's just

1207
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 5: dead on.

1208
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 4: Maybe I thought that's amazing because that's how I feel too.

1209
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: I Mean, you always want to please that audience, and

1210
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: using that as your key to getting healthy is just

1211
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: such an interesting way to.

1212
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 4: Go at it. It's a great way to really take

1213
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 4: advantage of that's really amazing. I'm so proud of you.

1214
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 3: It worked, you know, so it just worked luckily, you know, thankfully.

1215
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 7: Well, we know you have been doing some stand up,

1216
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 7: you're jumping back into some projects. Does it feel good

1217
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,959
Speaker 7: to be able to return to the thing you grew

1218
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 7: up doing?

1219
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 3: So good? So good? I mean, Will just said it

1220
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 3: like that thing you know that you have inside to

1221
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 3: want to be an entertainer.

1222
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 5: It never diesn't me at any rate. So being able

1223
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 5: to go do my stand up and at the same

1224
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 5: time deliver.

1225
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 3: A message, it is just it's the best. And you know, thankfully,

1226
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 3: I'm having the time my life.

1227
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 5: Even though forty five and things have happened, I'm in

1228
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 5: the best place that I've been, So, you.

1229
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 4: Know, that's amazing.

1230
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: Well, unfortunately, you then, right when all this is happening,

1231
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: you picked up and you moved to Georgia where nothing's

1232
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: being shot.

1233
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 3: Hollywood.

1234
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 6: Hollywood, get more work out there, for sure, oh man,

1235
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 6: but it's not close out here.

1236
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 3: There's a lot of production.

1237
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 5: I have a couple things that I have that i'd

1238
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 5: like to get off the route. One of them I'm

1239
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 5: going to give you the elevator pitch. One of them

1240
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 5: is about these signings that we do. These autograph conventions. Yeah,

1241
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 5: I have an idea where the Mighty Ducks guys and

1242
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 5: the Sandlot guys get, shall we say, by one of

1243
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 5: these promoters and decide that they're going to go get

1244
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 5: the one hundred thousand dollars cash that he has.

1245
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 3: In this safe in his hotel room.

1246
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 4: So with the sports team. Yes, it's a great idea.

1247
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 3: It's a web pitch, Sean.
