Speaker 1: And by the way, we then changing from iPhone. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to sugarcoat it. Changing from iPhone to an
Speaker 1: Android was one of the most difficult, most of all
Speaker 1: the things I've done in my life college child, just
Speaker 1: breaking away from Apple was one of the hardest. I
Speaker 1: love that we finally have reached the point where where
Speaker 1: we are our parents with VCRs. You remember when you
Speaker 1: were a kid and like you were like, how do
Speaker 1: you not understand how to program the VCR? And my
Speaker 1: watch my dad like not, how do I pity buttons?
Speaker 1: And I was just like, oh my god, I will
Speaker 1: never be that old and dumb yet here right And
Speaker 1: I'm like, India will be like grabbing his iPad and
Speaker 1: he'll be able to jump through zip through things, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, whoa slowed to write this down? We're
Speaker 1: doing roadblocks now mine crafting? How do I And He'll
Speaker 1: be like he just zipping through and I'll be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. Realized that is absolutely the equivalent of
Speaker 1: when we used to turn the knob too fast and
Speaker 1: you'd hear from the other room, don't turn the knob
Speaker 1: so fast. Did you even't have knobs? And you know
Speaker 1: what you're talking on Earth, old man exactly. That's how
Speaker 1: TV used to start if you had yours, and then
Speaker 1: when you got into the uh F channel, it was
Speaker 1: like TV TV is used to have a pool start
Speaker 1: like a long back in Connecticut. That's my friends, how
Speaker 1: do you make fun? And you're the guy who can
Speaker 1: operate on you? Remember? Do you remember we used to
Speaker 1: tease you all the time, like that was our running
Speaker 1: gag being ironically, I don't. We used to tease you.
Speaker 1: We used to tease you about what life was like
Speaker 1: in Connecticut, the big one, third World. One of the
Speaker 1: biggest things, the biggest difference that we could identify was
Speaker 1: you called it TV, not TV, not TV, and we
Speaker 1: still do because it's tell and do you have an
Speaker 1: aunt or an aunt? I have an aunt? I love you.
Speaker 1: It's like saying and I would always say the same thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're right, because I was born in a gust, you
Speaker 1: know the A. And then you make any difference, are all?
Speaker 1: That is not a good argument, that's true. The good
Speaker 1: argument with television was what the good argument of televisions
Speaker 1: because it's television. Don't say television television does make sense?
Speaker 1: That doesn't. So it's TV TV, al right, well, we
Speaker 1: should probably start to what you want to talk about
Speaker 1: our TV show TV show that we were on. The
Speaker 1: thing we would always talk to you about was your
Speaker 1: inflections because we would back He's say like this is
Speaker 1: so good, and Rodery go this is so good. He'd
Speaker 1: go up on the end of everything. Surfer wasn't it
Speaker 1: was like that was a strange thing. It was like, dude,
Speaker 1: it's so great. I've been listening to the conversations between
Speaker 1: me and Indie just like the most California surfer. Dude,
Speaker 1: are you on the reno? N I'm gonna get caught
Speaker 1: loco and I have some tacos ya. We should probably
Speaker 1: start the show, shouldn't think now? Um, So last week
Speaker 1: we had Leon Morrisson, I mean Lee and his giant
Speaker 1: yellow pants. Um, how cool was that nineties clothes were
Speaker 1: so large. I don't know if you guys noticed, but
Speaker 1: the nineties jeans are very back, are very much in Well,
Speaker 1: those are writer's favorite jeans. He with the jeans because
Speaker 1: they had a big enough pocket for your books was
Speaker 1: absolutely remember your back Your back pocket could hold the
Speaker 1: book you were. It's still such a thing for me,
Speaker 1: like I hate, I hate that books have gotten bigger,
Speaker 1: like I like the old school like yeah, and so yeah,
Speaker 1: books have gotten bigger and back pockets have gotten smaller,
Speaker 1: so I can't do it anymore. I have to carry
Speaker 1: a backpack. At least. Men still get pockets in their
Speaker 1: clothes like women. I mean, if you find a dress
Speaker 1: with pockets, you're like, does it come in any other colors?
Speaker 1: Has come back? Everyone's wear over their shoulder is that.
Speaker 1: It's like if I find something I like, she's like,
Speaker 1: I'm getting it in every color? Yeah, how many colors?
Speaker 1: And all the way. By the way, if you love
Speaker 1: one color in particular, good two of them? What could happens?
Speaker 1: So it is ridiculously long clothing. I did not know.
Speaker 1: I thought I would wear large shirts and pants with
Speaker 1: like thirty six ways, and I did not understand. It
Speaker 1: wasn't until I was like twenty years old and I
Speaker 1: moved to New York and I started buying actual Jeanes
Speaker 1: that were not Jenko, and I realized, like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: actually a size small in their ways. I literally didn't understand,
Speaker 1: like human size absolutely the way it works. Oh, lean
Speaker 1: Or that was a great episode, though, But this one,
Speaker 1: I mean, this one's really great too, and I'm so
Speaker 1: excited about our guest this week. He played the iconic
Speaker 1: role of Alan Yeah yeah McLennan in The sand Lot.
Speaker 1: He was also the voice of Weasel in Hey Arnold
Speaker 1: and as we all no, this idea for this podcast
Speaker 1: was his. It was his idea to start this podcast.
Speaker 1: It's just the running thing. It's everybody else's idea. I
Speaker 1: just love that Bill Daniels came up with this. This
Speaker 1: is a great idea. So I mean, put the credit
Speaker 1: in your big back pocket, my friends, because it is yours.
Speaker 1: You get credit for doing this. Is absolutely fine. It
Speaker 1: was writer's idea. But today we are talking to him
Speaker 1: about being Larry on the first season of Boy Meets World.
Speaker 1: Let's please welcome Marty Yorkey. Did you at all? I
Speaker 1: couldn't hear, you couldn't see I'm here. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: oh man, so good to see you. Thanks for doing this.
Speaker 1: You look exactly the same as you did when the show.
Speaker 1: On the show, exactly, I was gonna say the same thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I ate the Beast from the sand Lot. Well it worked, damn.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the sand Lot, that is actually my first
Speaker 1: question for you, which did you film first? So your
Speaker 1: first episode of Boy Meets World was also my first
Speaker 1: episode of Boy Meets World. You were in episode number
Speaker 1: one oh four Corey's Alternative Friends. Was that? Did that
Speaker 1: come before the sand Lot or had you already filmed
Speaker 1: the sand Lot that came I already filmed the sand
Speaker 1: that came after, but the sand Lot hadn't been released yet, right, No,
Speaker 1: it had been released. Yeah, I think we had done
Speaker 1: the pilot with Chauncey Leopardy, but he had already shot
Speaker 1: sand Lot. Um and then you came on once to
Speaker 1: our show got picked up and we were filming what
Speaker 1: four or five months later, and sand Lot had already
Speaker 1: come out that summer, So we started in the fall
Speaker 1: and sand Lot was out. Yeah, that's so cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was definitely after. But I still remember seeing Danielle
Speaker 1: and all the auditions when I was a kid. She
Speaker 1: had big, goofy curly hair. Yeah, like your mom had
Speaker 1: like the same haircut as That's true too, I was
Speaker 1: a little mini Jennifer fishal had feathered banks of course.
Speaker 1: So how did you get into acting, Marty? How did
Speaker 1: you find me? And where was your mom also had
Speaker 1: the same hair as you taking you to auditions? Where
Speaker 1: was your situation my mom didn't have the same hair
Speaker 1: as me, but no. I I started theater in northern California,
Speaker 1: a lot of theater productions, and uh, you know, my
Speaker 1: parents split when I was about ten, So my mom
Speaker 1: brought me out to l A and my my aunt
Speaker 1: actually ran Centex Casting, which was a big extras casting company,
Speaker 1: and uh so she was like, oh, hey, let me
Speaker 1: take you to your aunt and maybe we can get
Speaker 1: you some extra rolls and some you know, some some stuff.
Speaker 1: So the first thing I did was a movie with
Speaker 1: John Candy called Delirious. Delirious was a great, great movie. Yes,
Speaker 1: Mariel Hemingway, John Kennedy, Yeah, is that the one about
Speaker 1: the soap opera. Yeah, it's a woman opera town that
Speaker 1: he writes and his his his um typewriter is actually
Speaker 1: hooked to the town, so everything actually start writing the
Speaker 1: stuff that I need to watch it is. It's brilliant.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely great movie. Yeah. Yeah, so that was yours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like the Warner Brothers back laud and uh you
Speaker 1: know it's my first time saying like a whole movie
Speaker 1: set and all that, and uh, I remember one of
Speaker 1: the breaks I started doing John Candy's lines and he
Speaker 1: overheard me, and he walked over and he like touched
Speaker 1: me on the shoulder. He goes a kid, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: And he took out a piece of toilet paper and
Speaker 1: signed his autograph and gave it to men a piece
Speaker 1: of toilet paper. Do you still yeah, I still have it.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. And so I mean that moment, did you
Speaker 1: know then, as you were before you became an extra,
Speaker 1: or does the meeting with John Candy have something with
Speaker 1: you kind of going wait, I might be able to
Speaker 1: do this? Yeah, you know it d of like because
Speaker 1: you know, John Candy was bigger than life back then.
Speaker 1: Of course I knew John Candy was playing trains and
Speaker 1: automobiles and Uncle Buck and all those movies. So when
Speaker 1: he did that, I was like, wow, mom, like I
Speaker 1: really want to do this. And and then yeah, then
Speaker 1: I uh my first actually then I went to an
Speaker 1: agent and she's like, I got an audition for a
Speaker 1: Colgate toothpaste commercial for you. That was my first real
Speaker 1: like audition, and I remember I had to dance with
Speaker 1: the little girl and I was so scared because there's
Speaker 1: all these like producers and directors. I ran and hid
Speaker 1: behind the chair tasting room and they're like, it's okay,
Speaker 1: come out, and was like, and I came out and
Speaker 1: I actually did it. I danced with the girl and
Speaker 1: I got that. That was the first thing I did,
Speaker 1: is the first thing audition for. Yeah, I booked it.
Speaker 1: I booked it, and then I got called back to
Speaker 1: do play a little Italian kid in a raggy sketty
Speaker 1: Slas commercial. That was my second from the same company. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we all do every A lot of child actors have
Speaker 1: that kind of You always start with the commercial. There's
Speaker 1: some sort of commercial that is we all remember our
Speaker 1: first one of of doing something I never did. You did?
Speaker 1: You did the voice the biggest commercials of like all
Speaker 1: of the late eighties early nineties. You showed it to
Speaker 1: me and I was like, oh my god, completely forgotten
Speaker 1: that I had done it. But I never I never
Speaker 1: did just forgotten commercial. I've never done a commercial commercial.
Speaker 1: I've never been on television in my life. I don't
Speaker 1: know what you guys are talking about. It was so good.
Speaker 1: So Marty, what did you know? Well, so you had
Speaker 1: already do so. Sam Lott was really the big step up.
Speaker 1: That was when you were a part of a big
Speaker 1: cast a great role. And did you when you were
Speaker 1: making that movie, did you guys know how great it
Speaker 1: was going to be or did you did it feel
Speaker 1: like you were part of something special immediately? I mean
Speaker 1: we just it was like a big summer camp that
Speaker 1: I think we shot that whole movie like forty five
Speaker 1: days over the course of eighteen two, and uh, we
Speaker 1: just we just had fun the whole time. Like you guys, shoot,
Speaker 1: we shot in Glendale, Utah. Whoa, I wasn't Utah. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a part of I mean there's a part of Utah.
Speaker 1: It looks like you know, Pacoima in nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 1: So they brought in all the old cars and we
Speaker 1: had all the old, you know, old fashioned clothes on
Speaker 1: and it was like stepping into the you know, the
Speaker 1: sixties when we shot that movie, because everything was vintage
Speaker 1: everything they brought in. So that must be really cool
Speaker 1: to being a giant period piece kind of movie. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: didn't you do a period piece movie with I think
Speaker 1: you did something. I saw that you were like a
Speaker 1: period piece. Yeah, it was setting like the fifties or
Speaker 1: something I did. I did a one of my first role, actually,
Speaker 1: my first movie role was this TV movie called Long
Speaker 1: Road Home, which was like a Grapes of Wrath rip
Speaker 1: off with John Hart, John Harmon, Damn damn, what's his name?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Mike Harmon, Carmen Mark, My brain just
Speaker 1: went through like a Mark Harmon played My dad and
Speaker 1: I had two lines. They all they both got cut.
Speaker 1: But for for for four weeks, we lived in the
Speaker 1: Central Valley of California, like we basically they set up
Speaker 1: Depression era camps like and we were all like every
Speaker 1: day was you know, us as like this poor grapes
Speaker 1: of rat style family. It was really cool four because
Speaker 1: I was a part of a family. It was it
Speaker 1: was like it was basically, you know, it was a
Speaker 1: leavenweek shoot. It gets even worse because my agents and
Speaker 1: my parents. Ever do you remember back in the day,
Speaker 1: maybe you guys did this too. They would send out
Speaker 1: a postcard to all the casting directors in town if
Speaker 1: you were in a movie or something. No, this is
Speaker 1: how you would bring awareness because of course there was
Speaker 1: an Internet or anything. So if you like, if you
Speaker 1: were an actor and you were in something, you could
Speaker 1: send out a postcard with your face with your head
Speaker 1: shot saying you know, right, there's going to be in
Speaker 1: this movie on this time. And so my agent, Judy Savage,
Speaker 1: the Great Judy Savage is my agent, blanketed Hollywood all
Speaker 1: the cats. So it was like my big thing. And
Speaker 1: then we all sat down with my family to watch it.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is Nope. I had gotten the call to
Speaker 1: come to what to do looping and and I said
Speaker 1: to my mom, but I only had like two lines,
Speaker 1: and then they didn't call back, so they just looped me.
Speaker 1: Some woman did my voice over, so it's not even
Speaker 1: my voice. Yeah, so awful, and they did they David
Speaker 1: proused you, they full on, David Prouse. What was we
Speaker 1: were talking about commercials and what was your commercial that
Speaker 1: you did? My very very first one. And I actually
Speaker 1: watched it maybe ninety seconds before you guys got here,
Speaker 1: because I d he was strong enough. I can do this.
Speaker 1: I can do this people. If I just watched my
Speaker 1: every More Kids and Guns commercial. No, it was a
Speaker 1: local commercial for New York City about the dangers of
Speaker 1: kids playing with guns. And I'm running park and where
Speaker 1: we're playing with cap guns and then one of us
Speaker 1: ends up having a real gun and we're then all
Speaker 1: leaning over a body and it is and it is like,
Speaker 1: first of all, the my my leaning acting's so good
Speaker 1: is the worst leaning acting in the history of leaning.
Speaker 1: WILL show you after the podcast and then I'll send
Speaker 1: me a copy of it. I will I will on
Speaker 1: the Pod meets World Show Instagram. But it is somehow
Speaker 1: the worst, like like if they were looking for professional
Speaker 1: leaning actors, I would not have been I'd have been
Speaker 1: cut after a six week shoot. My my first commercial
Speaker 1: was also very serious. It was for a doll that
Speaker 1: when you pushed a button on the top of her head,
Speaker 1: she grew her first teeth. They had these three dolls.
Speaker 1: They did three different things. So one doll you put
Speaker 1: an ice cream cone up to her mouth and she
Speaker 1: got like ice cream on her lips. Another one she
Speaker 1: had braids and you could pull her hair from the
Speaker 1: back of her head and pretend like you were cutting down.
Speaker 1: And then button in the head and the two front
Speaker 1: teeth came down, and I just remember the my my
Speaker 1: dialogue was, look, she's getting her first teeth, but teeth
Speaker 1: was in Danielle high pitch, so it was she's getting
Speaker 1: her first it's so high pitch. We're gonna put all
Speaker 1: our first commercials up on because I think it's important
Speaker 1: because we have your milk commercial. Well, so Marty send
Speaker 1: us your commercial. I send you I have a hot
Speaker 1: commercial I did when I was a kid. And it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, that's like, this is your brain on drug?
Speaker 1: Why were the advertising cannabis? Like I immediately read ye,
Speaker 1: old spokesman, here's how Bobby roses joint. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: had to act like I was high weed and they
Speaker 1: were like they were like, okay, so I act like
Speaker 1: you're high. I'm like, I've never smoked weed, so I'm
Speaker 1: like twelve years. So they're just like just pretending like
Speaker 1: you don't know where you are, and like just it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't I learned it from watching you. It wasn't
Speaker 1: that one was it? No? This was this was like
Speaker 1: so they used my actual name and they're like, a Marty,
Speaker 1: when's the last time you smoked weed? And I was
Speaker 1: like and you couldn't remember? I can't. And I was
Speaker 1: like scratching my head and I was like like Marty
Speaker 1: and that was it. He's already losing backlineth the bottom.
Speaker 1: Is that some good weed? Yeah? Now it's legal, so
Speaker 1: you alright. So Marty, when you came on too, boy,
Speaker 1: Meats World. Did you have any idea? I mean, the
Speaker 1: show was was already a thing. I guess we maybe
Speaker 1: it aired one or two episodes or no. His first
Speaker 1: episode was my first episod. Okay, so nothing aired? So
Speaker 1: what did you know? Hory's Alternative Friends the name of
Speaker 1: the episode. Yeah, and that was you were awesome, you know.
Speaker 1: I remember we dressed you dressed up like we actually
Speaker 1: dressed up for Halloween. Remember you were there. I was
Speaker 1: in the Halloween one that was the class reunion, right one. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I dressed up as Mr Feenie. That was That was
Speaker 1: like the coolest thing. You came out as as a
Speaker 1: little Mr Feenie, which was great. Yes, yes, the mustache.
Speaker 1: Everything was awesome. But so you were around for a
Speaker 1: little while. I mean, how many episodes did you end
Speaker 1: up doing. I'm sorry, I think I'm confused. Were you
Speaker 1: there when the cast when we all dressed up for
Speaker 1: Halloween on the stage or you saying it was the
Speaker 1: Halloween episode you guys dressed up actually off camera and
Speaker 1: on Yeah, I think he was there because you were
Speaker 1: dressed as the Joker. Writer was dressed as a Joker.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't think, well, no, I did.
Speaker 1: I was Batman did I hope you were that Michael
Speaker 1: Keaton Batman suit, which I still for most days because
Speaker 1: its commercial, it doesn't as much they are forty four
Speaker 1: regulars now. Um yeah, yeah, so you were around. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, even the episode we just watched one oh six,
Speaker 1: you were there. I don't even think you had any lines,
Speaker 1: but you were still there for the whole episode. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: well I was there. I think the one we're the
Speaker 1: one we're looking at to his boys Tom. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that one. I just had a Halloween mask on and
Speaker 1: I had a couple of lines at the end of
Speaker 1: the episode. But yeah, I did three episodes of Boymates World,
Speaker 1: and I thought I completely messed up because that Halloween
Speaker 1: episode where I, you know, have the lines with William
Speaker 1: h I screwed up one of the lines. And that
Speaker 1: was like the last time I was on the show,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, that's it. I actually it was.
Speaker 1: It was it was death we had. Yeah, we were
Speaker 1: we were cycling through cast because they just that's what.
Speaker 1: But that's one of the interesting things about going back
Speaker 1: and watching from the beginning is as we're all trying
Speaker 1: to find ourselves as actors. The show is absolutely trying
Speaker 1: to find itself because it doesn't know what it is.
Speaker 1: It doesn't know who's pairing with who or whom if
Speaker 1: I want to be that guy, um, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: like it. You this Sean and you know Sean and
Speaker 1: and um Corey kind of start and then they're like, well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to put Eric in Morgan together. Like
Speaker 1: they're still trying to fit the pieces together. So it
Speaker 1: had nothing whatsoever to do with you. They just they
Speaker 1: you could tell, still didn't know what was going on
Speaker 1: really where it was like, all right, let's okay, we
Speaker 1: got Phoenie and Corey and we can't have every scene
Speaker 1: with that, so we're gonna bring in Allan. And then
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, we can't do every scene with that.
Speaker 1: And I think I think also they were really trying
Speaker 1: to I think the prevailing mindset at the time was
Speaker 1: that you couldn't get everything from Corey's school slash friendship
Speaker 1: life with just one friend. You have to have a
Speaker 1: group of friends and and some foils and and a
Speaker 1: love interest. And so we're gonna build this universe around Corey.
Speaker 1: And then what they realized pretty early on was that
Speaker 1: you can have everything you need from the school friendship
Speaker 1: life with just one best friend. We saw that with
Speaker 1: the last The last episode with Lee was that same
Speaker 1: kind of thing where it's like Lee doesn't have any
Speaker 1: friends except all the friends he hangs out with all
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, so it's like, we hate that kid,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna hang out with him every day like that.
Speaker 1: It didn't even that was they were just trying to
Speaker 1: throw groups of people together. Yeah, Marty, did you know
Speaker 1: about the death chair when you were sitting in the
Speaker 1: death chair. Was it like something you guys were talking
Speaker 1: about off screen? No, I had no idea about just
Speaker 1: so we we I told my mom. I told my
Speaker 1: mom when I was like, well, I messed that lineup.
Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's it. That's the end of
Speaker 1: the Oh my gosh. And then they really didn't bring
Speaker 1: you back, and you really thought that was and for years,
Speaker 1: for years, and like only would have got that mind perfect.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I mean it came it came out
Speaker 1: good at the end. I mean when I saw a
Speaker 1: show like it was really good, but you know it
Speaker 1: had Yeah this is probably too late to tell you this, Marty,
Speaker 1: but it had nothing to do with you, like nothing
Speaker 1: to do with you. Not know what they were doing
Speaker 1: when it came to Corey's friends. I mean they just
Speaker 1: didn't didn't have the group together. Yeah, probably a little
Speaker 1: a little too late to who was your favorite person
Speaker 1: to work with on Boy Meets World Martyn? I mean,
Speaker 1: I've got to be honest, Writer, Probably it was just
Speaker 1: it was like the nicest dude on set. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: all fake. So writer was your favorite person to work with?
Speaker 1: Which you remember hanging out with Marty? Like Marty and
Speaker 1: I like hung out, like I remember just too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're always I mean we had our you know, our
Speaker 1: little pack of the not only the guest stars, the extras.
Speaker 1: Like it was just it was a fun time, like
Speaker 1: we hang so when Marty because we reconnected last year
Speaker 1: at a convention and he came up and it was like,
Speaker 1: of course I remember you, Marty, Like it was so
Speaker 1: fun to reach. Do you remember the convention because I do, Yes,
Speaker 1: I remember where we were, New Mexico wasn't Albuquerque, um no,
Speaker 1: But it was so much fun because I you know,
Speaker 1: got to see not only Marty but all the guys
Speaker 1: from some from sand Lot because they were all there.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, it was a safe speaking of what you
Speaker 1: guys did a sand lot like red last year, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the big one was two thousand eighteen. That was anniversary.
Speaker 1: We did almost every MLB stadium in the United States.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Really cool. Yeah, and uh And the
Speaker 1: cool thing was like Dodgers because they did a big
Speaker 1: thing for us. They had like it was like, well
Speaker 1: every stadium did SAM one day, but the Dodgers went
Speaker 1: above and beyond and we went into the dugout and
Speaker 1: we actually took our positions on the Dodger field that
Speaker 1: we played on SAM like. They they called us out
Speaker 1: and I went to short stop, Timmy went the first base,
Speaker 1: Squints went to outfield like and we all went to
Speaker 1: our positions on the Dodger field and literally the entire
Speaker 1: stadium set up and gave us and it's sold out.
Speaker 1: It was like sixty people. We were just like and
Speaker 1: that's the first time me and the guys have really
Speaker 1: connected in like twenty five years. But to come back
Speaker 1: to that kind of like we were just like, what
Speaker 1: is going on? Like looking around, like like is this real?
Speaker 1: Like rock stars? You're full on stars? What is that like?
Speaker 1: Then to reconnect with all of them is there anyone
Speaker 1: in particular you're closer to had you had you not
Speaker 1: talked to anybody in twenty five years. It's actly. I
Speaker 1: played Timmy Um. We always hung out, you know for
Speaker 1: the past six or seven years, but like small and
Speaker 1: you know, some of the other guys like Tom Guyrey
Speaker 1: and some the other guys, I hadn't seen it twenty
Speaker 1: five years, and they were just as blown away as
Speaker 1: I was when we were doing like the Today's Show
Speaker 1: and all these other interviews, and people were like, you know,
Speaker 1: freaking out, and like people behind the set, you know,
Speaker 1: the scenes were coming up and asking for an autograph
Speaker 1: and We're like, we're on the Today Show, like and
Speaker 1: you're asking for our autograph. It was it was, it
Speaker 1: was crazy. And you know, we we played a game

Speaker 1: to relearn how to walk again, and all this stuff happened.
Speaker 1: Was Yeah, the person was okay. The person was okay.
Speaker 1: They survived, but and you died and then came back.
Speaker 1: I died and came back. Yeah, can I do you?
Speaker 1: Do you have any memory of being dead? I? I
Speaker 1: do have memories. I do. I did see. It was
Speaker 1: like a long hallway of stars that were like circling.
Speaker 1: It was like a long hallway of stars. I remember,
Speaker 1: and I remember like feeling an out of body experience.
Speaker 1: I remember feeling like I'm floating above myself. I remember
Speaker 1: feeling floating above myself and it was like the most calming,
Speaker 1: like relaxing feeling I've ever felt. And then when I
Speaker 1: woke up, I was in a hospital with my leg
Speaker 1: and traction like hanging from my metal pole. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: I was like, how much later did you wake up?
Speaker 1: Was this like that later that night or were you
Speaker 1: I woke up like four or five days later? Wow?
Speaker 1: Jeess crazy. Yeah. So I haven't actually shot a documentary
Speaker 1: for the Peacock channel NBC Peacock end of last year,
Speaker 1: that kind of they talked about my accident and every thing.
Speaker 1: It's on my Instagram page, but it's called the Marty
Speaker 1: it's called behind the scenes. Yeah, yeah, okay, And what's
Speaker 1: your Instagram handle, Marty Underscore York. Looking at that, go
Speaker 1: check out. I still can't get over that. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's insane. This took you out of the acting game
Speaker 1: after this accident then, huh this really Yeah? I left,
Speaker 1: you know, and I was after like, I think I
Speaker 1: wore the same like and I wanted to say this
Speaker 1: about because you mentioned the same hood the flannel hooded vest.
Speaker 1: Like every show I was in, the same thing that
Speaker 1: oversized hooded is very popular. Yeah, I just I just remember, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did so many things and then I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm burnt out. I'm not gonna do this anymore. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I left. What did you do? I just I
Speaker 1: did random things, you know, I worked in the mortgage industry,
Speaker 1: work in a coffee shop. I mean I did a lot,
Speaker 1: like everything really good for you. And then and then,
Speaker 1: you know, about ten years ago, I decided I was
Speaker 1: going to get back into the business. And uh, when
Speaker 1: we did the twentieth anniversary of Samli and I just started.
Speaker 1: I did like three national commercials the first year I
Speaker 1: got back in, and you know, I wanted to be
Speaker 1: a different kind of a character. I always wanted to
Speaker 1: be like an action hero. When I was a kid,
Speaker 1: I was like Van dam and like Arnold Schwarzenegger and
Speaker 1: you know all those guys. So I wanted to reinvent
Speaker 1: myself when I came back. So, uh, building thing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that kind of came from. Like I just started like
Speaker 1: working out after the car accident, cause I was doing
Speaker 1: physical therapy, right, and they were like showing me to
Speaker 1: do this and that and this is how you build
Speaker 1: this and that, and I started like really loving you know,
Speaker 1: fitness and working out, and I just I've done it
Speaker 1: now for like fifteen years, twenty years. Amazing. Isn't that cool?
Speaker 1: How that like when you actually can learn the like
Speaker 1: science behind something and you and you can notice the difference,
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, when I do this, it makes me
Speaker 1: feel this way. Like I noticed that if I focus
Speaker 1: on the fact that when I work out and take
Speaker 1: care of myself, I don't wake up with like a
Speaker 1: kink in my neck and I don't all of those
Speaker 1: benefits to working out are so much more motivating to
Speaker 1: me than like I'm going to be sleek and small
Speaker 1: like that. I'm like whatever for mental health to for
Speaker 1: my mental health. For mental health, running is like changed
Speaker 1: my life when he came to anxiety. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just it makes such a difference when you do that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And yeah, there's a nice bonus that
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm not wheezing when I walk up
Speaker 1: a flight of stairs, and that's nice. But it's that's
Speaker 1: not why. It's like has nothing to do with oh
Speaker 1: my jeans fit better. It's just like, wow, I'm my
Speaker 1: anxiety is better. Yeah, it's great. Yeah. I like being
Speaker 1: able to pick up my child without feeling like, oh,
Speaker 1: just kink to my neck. Gosh, it's hurt my ankle
Speaker 1: because I stood right exactly, I sneak. Yeah, that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff it is. It's amazing. But here's the other
Speaker 1: thing that I think you said that's really interesting is
Speaker 1: you got burnt down in the industry. You walked away
Speaker 1: and worked a bunch of quote unquote regular jobs, and
Speaker 1: there's so many people out there that think that, like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're not on camera anymore and now you're working at
Speaker 1: a coffee shop. You failed, and it's like, no, what
Speaker 1: you don't realize is there's a whole lot of people
Speaker 1: who just went I don't want to do this anymore,
Speaker 1: and you walk away and it's there's no failure in
Speaker 1: it whatsoever. It's no, I'm going to live my life
Speaker 1: a different way. And you get people that always look
Speaker 1: at you like, oh god, he's working in a restaurant now,
Speaker 1: and it's like, no, I didn't want to do what
Speaker 1: I was doing. So did you ever struggle with that
Speaker 1: where you were like, well, I didn't. I made it
Speaker 1: as an actor, but I didn't make it where I
Speaker 1: wanted to, so I had to leave. Or were you
Speaker 1: always like I know I could do this for the
Speaker 1: rest of my life. I don't want to do this anymore,
Speaker 1: and you just walked away, you know. I just yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I just got to plomers like I just
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this anymore because I was
Speaker 1: so burnt out from just the constant driving and going
Speaker 1: to school and memorizing the lines and like going on set,
Speaker 1: and like I just was like, I'm so tired of this,
Speaker 1: Like I just like I just don't, you know, I
Speaker 1: want to just live a regular life. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I think the acting bug hit me during the twentieth
Speaker 1: anniversary of the film, when I was just like, you know,
Speaker 1: I started like getting that you know vibe again, that buzz,
Speaker 1: that fling, the buzz, and I was just like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna give this a shot again and see
Speaker 1: if I can do this again. And there was never
Speaker 1: for me. It was never like I feel like less
Speaker 1: a person for working regular job. I think anybody that
Speaker 1: works period is it's commendable off the government. You know,
Speaker 1: I get props. But yeah, I mean it's just you know,
Speaker 1: it is what it is now. Yeah, I mean that
Speaker 1: was what I was thinking. To Will's point, it's it's
Speaker 1: always crazy to me when people act like it's a
Speaker 1: big goutcha moment when a when an actor has a
Speaker 1: quote unquote real job, you're earning an honest living. And
Speaker 1: aside from that, also what if you have other interests
Speaker 1: that are like I worked at Bloomingdale's in the gift
Speaker 1: wropping department. Yeah, you know, I liked to wrap. And
Speaker 1: I was that's a crazy story O the time all
Speaker 1: the time. And you didn't lie, You said no, I lied,
Speaker 1: or I would just everyone would say did you has
Speaker 1: anyone ever told you? It's actually not a lie? It
Speaker 1: has anyone ever told you? And I say yes? And
Speaker 1: then we all just sit there smiling at each other,
Speaker 1: and there I think waiting for me to say surprise
Speaker 1: it is, and I'm waiting for them to thence follow
Speaker 1: up with the question is are you um? But yeah,
Speaker 1: like you have other interests, you have other things you
Speaker 1: want to pursue. When I went to college cal State Universe,
Speaker 1: I went to when did you wrap? When did you
Speaker 1: do this? The wrapping of the presents was around I
Speaker 1: was like twenty eight years old, twenties seven. I was
Speaker 1: thirteen years ago, so two thousand nine, okay, okay, I
Speaker 1: was in school. I was going to UM. I think
Speaker 1: I was going to cal State Fullerton at the time. Actually, no,
Speaker 1: I take that back. I think I was still in
Speaker 1: community college. I went to community college for two years
Speaker 1: and then I transferred to cal State Fullerton and I
Speaker 1: actually went because so here you want to know the story, yes, okay, course,
Speaker 1: all right. So I went to Bloomingdale's to get a
Speaker 1: gift for maitland Ward's wedding. So it's so exactly it's
Speaker 1: the year after maitland Ward. Well did you get invited
Speaker 1: to maitland Ward's wedding? I did not get into yea.
Speaker 1: I went to Maitland. I was the only cast member
Speaker 1: at maitland Ward's wedding. I don't know. Were you closer
Speaker 1: to Maitland than we were? Yeah, I thought Will would
Speaker 1: have been the one. You worked with her all the time. No,
Speaker 1: I don't even remember where. I don't remember how. I
Speaker 1: think she did have my number though, because I think
Speaker 1: she texted me for my address and then said up,
Speaker 1: you know I'm getting married and I was like, wonderful,
Speaker 1: So I think we she did have my number. Maybe interesting.
Speaker 1: So I was not as organized back then as I
Speaker 1: am now. And it was literally the night before Maitland's
Speaker 1: wedding and she had registered at Bloomingdale's and I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, it was like five pm or something, and
Speaker 1: I went to bloom Dale's in Newport Beach and pulled
Speaker 1: up her registry and saw that she had registered for
Speaker 1: these really pretty wine glasses. And I was like, great,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get her the whole set of these wine glasses.
Speaker 1: So I asked somebody to help me. They send him.
Speaker 1: They said, would you like this gift wrapped? And I
Speaker 1: said yes, thank you, who saves me from having to
Speaker 1: wrap this gift? So they sent it to the back
Speaker 1: so I go back there to wait for the gift,
Speaker 1: and there's a girl back there and she's, you know,
Speaker 1: working in the in the customer service gift wrap area,
Speaker 1: and but she's not acknowledging me at all, and so
Speaker 1: I'm just like, oh, she, I'm sure she's wrapping my gift,
Speaker 1: and she's not. She's just kind of tinkering that. She
Speaker 1: disappears for a little. When she comes back out, I go, high, sorry,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure that they told me
Speaker 1: they were sending the wine glasses back here to be wrapped.
Speaker 1: And she goes, oh, yeah, they're not going to be
Speaker 1: done tonight, and I go, oh, well why and she goes, well,
Speaker 1: I've already closed the register. And I go, oh, what
Speaker 1: what time do you guys close? And she's like seven,
Speaker 1: it's like and I go, oh, well, it's like when
Speaker 1: when are they going to be available? She's like, um,
Speaker 1: can you come back tomorrow after three? And I go no,
Speaker 1: it's it's for a wedding tomorrow, like I have. If
Speaker 1: we're going to gift drop him, I need them done now.
Speaker 1: And she goes, well, yeah, I already closed the register.
Speaker 1: And I go I'm just confused because it's only five thirty,
Speaker 1: and she goes, well, sometimes when it's slow, I closed
Speaker 1: the register basically I don't want to. I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1: And oh okay, and I said, I have no problem
Speaker 1: wrapping it. Can you just give me the materials and
Speaker 1: I'll wrap it right here, and she goes, okay, turns around,
Speaker 1: pulls the paper off, the thing, rips it off, hands
Speaker 1: me the ribbon, the bow, whatever, and I sit down
Speaker 1: on the floor in the Bloomingdale's customer service department and
Speaker 1: wrap the gift. Well who comes back there? But the
Speaker 1: manager comes around the corner and goes, hi, I I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: what are you What are you doing? And I go, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just rabbing the I'm just wrapping this gift. She
Speaker 1: said it wasn't gonna be available until tomorrow and I
Speaker 1: really needed tonight because I'm a last minute organizer and
Speaker 1: you know whatever. And he's like no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I am so sorry. What do you what do you
Speaker 1: And she's in there back like, I close the register
Speaker 1: and he's like, what do you mean you close the register?
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm like, it's totally fine. I promise it's fine.
Speaker 1: Let me just drop the presents. So I wrapped the present.
Speaker 1: He looks at me and he goes, that's actually really good.
Speaker 1: I said, thanks. I love to wrap presents. And he
Speaker 1: gave me his card and said, we got discovered. You
Speaker 1: had the Hollywood you got us you know what? He
Speaker 1: getting a major and said, we hire gift wrappers for Christmas.
Speaker 1: This is a reverse Hollywood story here. And I'm like really,
Speaker 1: and it hands me the card and I'm thinking, would
Speaker 1: I be interested in? I think I might, and I
Speaker 1: saved the card and then I thought about it, thought
Speaker 1: about it, and then filled out the application. I just
Speaker 1: got a bus shot and then worked with the girl
Speaker 1: who closed the register early. And I was really good
Speaker 1: at wrapping presents, but also I was very good at
Speaker 1: customer service. I'm sure you were. Danielle would like to
Speaker 1: thank the academy. You'd like to thank I had his
Speaker 1: She is that great present rapper to this day. I
Speaker 1: was there. I was just going to be there for
Speaker 1: the holiday season, and then I extended my stay and
Speaker 1: worked in customer service and helped people with their bills
Speaker 1: and worked at the Bloomingdale sale where people would lose
Speaker 1: their marbles if they thought they got one less like
Speaker 1: twenty off card and they'd like, I've had a woman
Speaker 1: lunge across the counter at me. It was incredible. It's
Speaker 1: because you were like, I'm sorry, I closed the register.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, sometimes when it gets really busy, I just don't.
Speaker 1: I just want to sit back and work on my
Speaker 1: vocal fry. She was actually a very nice woman, and
Speaker 1: it is true that when when it is very slow
Speaker 1: back there, like on a regular day, you became her. No,
Speaker 1: you're started closing. Didn't start closing early. But I did
Speaker 1: understand the allure of like I do. We realized love

Speaker 1: we'll make sure you have that and you can email it.
Speaker 1: It's so much fun with you guys. I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I know we'll have to do it again at a
Speaker 1: con I think, yeah, this time it will not be
Speaker 1: an Albuquerque problem. I see these well, I've been having babies.
Speaker 1: It's I'm like, I'm pregnant, giving birth, thank you, or
Speaker 1: having a newborn. I mean, I only have two kids.
Speaker 1: But it's been in the time since we started doing conventions.
Speaker 1: So if you think about how many opportunities I've had
Speaker 1: to do conventions between oh I'm going to have a
Speaker 1: newborn at that time, or oh I'm going to be
Speaker 1: extremely pregnant at that time, It's it's been a lot
Speaker 1: in three years. A great excuse. Does you just leave
Speaker 1: your kids though a convention? Just leave them somewhere and
Speaker 1: go to a convention. How I thought you meant leave
Speaker 1: him at the convention that too. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: if you want to. But I don't have kids, so
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're raised. But I imagine you
Speaker 1: can't just leave them and put them in crates and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. By the way, I listen to your
Speaker 1: husband all the time on the radio. Oh Jensen, Yes,
Speaker 1: he's great. He's actually executive producer of this podcast. In
Speaker 1: the other in the other rooms, Jensen is watching over
Speaker 1: writer's son, Indy. It's exactly what we're talking about. This
Speaker 1: is this is well, thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 1: We can't wait to see you again next time. And yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Marty. Great to see your Marty
Speaker 1: by Marty oh Man. Reunions are so fun. It was
Speaker 1: so funny to run into Marty because I I he
Speaker 1: doesn't look the same at all. He's such a skinny
Speaker 1: little kid. In the episode, he's so skinny, and now
Speaker 1: he is. I mean, we're gonna you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: see a picture of this guy. He is buff. Yeah
Speaker 1: I didn't so I didn't recognize him. But the second
Speaker 1: he said, like Marty York. It was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I have like really fond memories of hanging out with him.
Speaker 1: And he was also a really good actor. He was
Speaker 1: really good at I know, it's a bummer he didn't
Speaker 1: didn't stick around, but yeah, I mean you know that
Speaker 1: I can't show they were just poor guy to have
Speaker 1: to have internalized all those years of thinking like I
Speaker 1: meant because of that he died. Oh yeah, I thought
Speaker 1: I thought you meant just the fact that he thought.
Speaker 1: But I mean, that's the way it is when you're
Speaker 1: a kid, like you know, man, the pressure on a
Speaker 1: child actor, it's a pressure on Edie kid it all.
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's one more reminder that things you say,
Speaker 1: or or the way you treat somebody, even if it's
Speaker 1: instantaneous and it's a small kind of thing that happens,
Speaker 1: can so affect somebody. Something can be so small in
Speaker 1: your life, but it can be so huge in somebody else's.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny because I was thinking about
Speaker 1: this recently, that like we make and it's true that
Speaker 1: childhood is like fun and you have no responsibilities, and
Speaker 1: we always tell kids like, oh, enjoy this time now,
Speaker 1: because once you become an adult, you know, you don't
Speaker 1: get to have these moments. But also, being a kid
Speaker 1: is so hard. It is truly so hard, and I
Speaker 1: think sometimes we minimize it because we were, you know,
Speaker 1: now adults, and we know what it's like to have
Speaker 1: the weight of the world and families on your shoulders
Speaker 1: and and all that stuff, so that we we kind
Speaker 1: of minimize what childhood is to a kid. We're like, oh, gosh,
Speaker 1: junior high, wait till you're an adult. And really what
Speaker 1: we should be telling kids more is like, this is
Speaker 1: really really difficult. But it's not always going to be
Speaker 1: like this, you know, so funny because you know, my
Speaker 1: son is is terrified of things that I think are ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't make them any less terrifying for him,
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? He said, And he
Speaker 1: said that it was, you know, during the pandemic was
Speaker 1: a big reality check for me of like we because
Speaker 1: we my in laws moved in with us during the
Speaker 1: lockdown period and we were we were it was five adults,
Speaker 1: four adults and my son living in the house together,
Speaker 1: and he was like, at one point, you know, after
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, he's just like, I'm bad at everything,
Speaker 1: And I realized, like, oh, right, because you're surrounded by
Speaker 1: adults who can do everything, and we're always telling you
Speaker 1: just put your clothes on, just brush your teeth, just
Speaker 1: we're always telling you what to do, and you're always
Speaker 1: messing up and here, let me help you. Yes, and
Speaker 1: so so I like that was like the first realization, like, oh,
Speaker 1: you need to like get on his level as opposed
Speaker 1: to always be like you know, and it's also I mean,
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine being a kid with social media and
Speaker 1: every other thing else that's out there. It's just horrifying. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well we haven't gotten there yet. But you know, at seven,
Speaker 1: although there is a girl in his class who has
Speaker 1: a phone, which I think is insane. Is it just one?
Speaker 1: Do you know? If it is data? Is it just
Speaker 1: for calling out? It's for calling out, but she can
Speaker 1: play games and stuff on it. So and she has
Speaker 1: you too. Oh no, my son wants to be an influencer.
Speaker 1: He like, that's what they all want to be. They
Speaker 1: want to be, which is just mine. It is what
Speaker 1: kids want to do. Now, how do we fix these VCRs? Guys? Guys,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Just keep hitting the butt until it
