1
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you guys have checked out

2
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Shifting Gears yet. It's Tim Allen and Kat Denning's new

3
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: sitcom on ABC, but I got to direct an episode

4
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: of it in their first season. They did ten episodes

5
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: in their first season. I directed episode number four. It

6
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: was written by It was amazing, really, it was such

7
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: a great week. The episode I directed was written by

8
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: an incredible writer named Morgan Murphy, who is so funny.

9
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: She used to do stand up. She actually still does

10
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: stand up, but she's a stand up comedian. She's written

11
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: on Abbot Elementary. She's incredible. She's a wonderful writer. The

12
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: show runner is Michelle Nader, who's also wonderful. Was one

13
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: of the showrunners of Two Broke Girls Did Dollface, so

14
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: she's known Kat Dennings for a while. And then me

15
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: as the director, and then Tim Allen and we looked

16
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: around and it was like Tim surrounded by all these people.

17
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: We were like, Tim, is this is this your favorite?

18
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 3: Do you love this?

19
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: Do you love that?

20
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: Everywhere you look it's just all these women around you,

21
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 4: And he was like, you know, it was pretty great,

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was.

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: It was really fun. I had such a great experience

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: on it.

25
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: I'll say I was a little nervous going into it because,

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, I've never worked with Tim Allan. I had

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: met Tim Allen when I was a kid, when I

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: would go visit, you know, Jonathan on the Home Improvement set.

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you were dating Home Improvement, right when.

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 2: I dat Jonathan.

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what any of.

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: The rest of that was, but yeah. But so I

33
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: had never worked with him, and he's obviously a huge star.

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: And I had never worked with or met Kat Dennings,

35
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: but I had communicated with her via Twitter many a

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: years ago and knew that she seemed wonderful. But you

37
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: never know when you until you meet somebody like, oh,

38
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: are we going to connect? And they have Shifting Gears

39
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: has a very well known director named John Pasquin, who's

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: a producer on the show as well, and he is

41
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: directing most of the episodes. If I'm not mistaken, he's

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: directing seven out of their ten episodes, and then the

43
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: other three episodes. I got one, and another very well

44
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: known director named Victor Gonzalez got too, and so I'm

45
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: direct I was the first director outside of John Pasquin

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: to come in and direct an episode of the show.

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: And everyone's used to John. Everyone loves John.

48
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: John's a producer, and I knew that John was going

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: to be there and was going to be overseeing me,

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: and I just I was very nervous.

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh.

52
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: And suddenly all the confidence you have as a director,

53
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: you're like, why am I feeling so like? No one

54
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: by the way made me feel like I shouldn't be confident.

55
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: If anything, it was the impostor.

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: Yes, I just started thinking like, this is it, this

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: is what I find out. I don't know what I'm doing.

58
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: This is the moment it's all gonna come crashing down.

59
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, I was really I was really nervous. And

60
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: then every single day just got better and better and

61
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: better until we had the live studio audience tape night,

62
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: which is so it's everything, you guys, remember it.

63
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: It's everything and more.

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: And Tim had said, listen, I want to have a

65
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: nice intro setup. So while I was there, they built

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: they built a rod in front of their existing sets

67
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: that has a gorgeous burgundy curtain that drops down. They

68
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: did up lights in front of it, and they made

69
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: a sign that says the name of the show, Shifting

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Gears and they put it out there for intros and

71
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: curtain call and they do a gorgeous introduction. The audience

72
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: was great, thrilled to see them. Cat Dennings, I sorry

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: to Jensen and sorry to Cat dennings husband. I want

74
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: to marry Kat Dennings. I am truly in love with her.

75
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: She is the dream of all dreams. We absolutely connected.

76
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: It was like hard to find time to work because honestly,

77
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: I just wanted to sit there and talk to her

78
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: about all things life, all things jewelry.

79
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: It was really such an incredible way.

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: You're a huge Boy Meets World fan.

81
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 5: You know.

82
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: She gave us the nicest compliment and just a very

83
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: casual conversation. She said, you know, I think it was

84
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: watching Boy Meets World that sparked my love of comedy.

85
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: And she said, and I've rewatched the show several times

86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: since then, and every time I think, this is so

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: funny and this is so good and so yes. I

88
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: wanted to pass that compliment along to you guys, because

89
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: she was a big Boy Meets World fan and is

90
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: just she's She's a unicorn.

91
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: Truly, she's a unicorn.

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: She's just incredible that everything doesn't miss a beat is

93
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: a nice person, fun to be around. Oh anyway, she's

94
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: my new obsession.

95
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: Just love her anyway. It was a really great experience.

96
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: If you haven't checked out Shifting Gears, I highly recommend

97
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: that you do. I think they're really doing something very

98
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: special there, which is tackling very relatable modern day subjects

99
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: like what do you do when you have a family

100
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: member who has completely opposing views to you, how do

101
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: you live under the same roof, how do you manage relationships?

102
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: How do you comfort each other when you are regularly

103
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: butting heads. They also my episode was a big episode

104
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: about how you handle grief and how grief comes in

105
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: waves and is never really a one time thing you

106
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: deal with. It will keep rearing its ugly head and

107
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: it's really beautiful.

108
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 2: It's a really great show.

109
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: So if you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend

110
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: you check out Shifting Gears on ABC. It's Tuesday nights

111
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,000

112
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: So check it out.

113
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: It's good for you.

114
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.

115
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: Got I missed that rush of running in front of

116
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 3: an audience.

117
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah you, We'll have to do it again. It's it's

118
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: everything you remember, it's like.

119
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no feeling like it. I mean, there's truly

120
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 6: no feeling like you sitting by I remember. That's one

121
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 6: of the things I people always ask me, like, what

122
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 6: do you miss most about doing the show?

123
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 7: What is it?

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 6: Is it?

125
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: What you know anything? What do you miss most about it?

126
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 6: And I think the thing I missed most is sitting

127
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 6: backstage with all of you, with the audience out.

128
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: There you can hear at the time.

129
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 6: For us, it was Mitch and he's warming up the

130
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 6: crowd and you can hear them and they're chanting sometimes

131
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 6: they're stomping their feet and we're all back there just

132
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 6: with each other, and you know you're about to do

133
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 6: a show. It is an energy like no other. It

134
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 6: just doesn't exist anywhere else. And it's I think I

135
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 6: miss that moment more than anything else.

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: Is just all of us together before the show starts.

137
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: It was just magical. Really was Welcome to Pod Meets World.

138
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: I'm Daniel, I'm right or Strong, and I'm Wilfredell.

139
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: Before this week's guest even joins our zoom, he is

140
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: Pod Meets World Royalty. We've gotten emails that sign off

141
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: with the saying people have yelled it at us at conventions.

142
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: The phrase Steve's having a baby went from a thirty

143
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: year old inside joke to a memory we now share

144
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: with all of you, said with the perfect amount of

145
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: enthusiasm and yet the type of efficiency you'd expect from

146
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: one of our favorite stage managers while talking about one

147
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: of our other favorite stage managers. It's a phrase we

148
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: will say to each other until the day that we die,

149
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: and now maybe you'll remember for just as long until

150
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: we die.

151
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: And we have this week's guest to thank for it.

152
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: Anything for sleep. See how Daniell equates it.

153
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling you he completes a holy trinity of sorts.

154
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: The third interview of three stage managers that have special

155
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: places in our hearts. He worked on the show for

156
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: four and a half seasons, joining us not only near

157
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: the beginning of his career, but from a legendary Hollywood

158
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: family that made him a veteran before he even started

Speaker 2: So tell us.

216
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: I think you came to us pretty early on in

217
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: your career, right you You started on Full House.

218
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 7: I did do a little Full House and we were

219
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 7: day playing, like on Home Improvement, Full House, those kind

220
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 7: of shows, And then I got lucky and started with

221
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 7: the as a third on Boy Meets World. I think

222
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 7: it was the second season, which I think this Jackets

223
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 7: from the wonderful Arlene Grayson, producer was I remember her

224
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 7: handing these out. But I was doing the background and

225
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 7: David Humor was directing, and he wanted some he wanted

226
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 7: everything in control, you know, David. And so we were

227
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 7: on Stage two at Disney. It's a gigantic stage over there.

228
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 7: You had trailers in the back. You were in school

229
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 7: on the back with David and Wesley, and I was

230
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 7: in another trailer with with these kids who were background,

231
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 7: and we had a great season. I came in halfway

232
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 7: through second season, and then the third season I started

233
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 7: as the second stage manager.

234
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 8: So was Lynn McCracken the first stage manager that okay, yeah,

235
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 8: she did it all the way through the second season,

236
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 8: I guess, and then was Steve already on board as

237
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 8: the second stage manager.

238
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,600

00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,040

259
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: So that you said the third stage manager was working

260
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: with the background, and when we talked to d D.

261
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: D D explain that a little bit to us too.

262
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: What is the job description of the second a D

263
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: or the you know, the second stage manager.

264
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 7: Well, it's a lot of paperwork. Of course, we have

265
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 7: to put a call out and then do a production

266
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 7: report at the end of the day. It's taking the

267
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 7: first ad schedule and making it work, you know, Okay,

268
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 7: you I remember were getting you know, you guys were

269
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 7: in school a lot, and I remember going upstairs and

270
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 7: waiting for you to get out of school and everyone

271
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 7: to rehearsal. And really, I think any stage manager it's

272
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 7: kind of setting the stage for the playground, if you would,

273
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 7: if you will, for creative people to come down and play.

274
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 9: Yea.

275
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 7: So we're just kind of like creating the boundaries of that.

276
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 7: You know, if you need to go go to costumes,

277
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 7: or if you need to go to hair and makeup,

278
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 7: we're scheduling that and then getting you there basically. So

279
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 7: I remember a lot of times, you know, chasing you

280
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 7: guys upstairs at CBS Radford rooms were upstairs. They were

281
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 7: once we had cars.

282
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 8: Everything got really and then we would like leave and

283
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 8: take a long lunch lunch.

284
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 7: I do remember that. I do. So really this the

285
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 7: stage manager is just part of the production team, you know,

286
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 7: and just making sure facilitating it and making sure everything's

287
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 7: getting done. Really of being serviced to the creative team,

288
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 7: you know, the directors, the writers, the actors.

289
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: Wow, and so what when you first started working? What

317
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 8: So crazy to learn it. I had no idea when

318
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 8: we worked with you back.

319
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 7: Then, and that's that's just my dad.

320
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,240

Speaker 2: So that's so cool.

324
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 7: You're making me blush. And it's really their love story.

325
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 7: You know, they met in nineteen fifty two. I believe

326
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 7: my mom was in college here in La at Immaculate Heart,

327
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 7: and my dad went to a play that she was

328
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 7: in and then working on, and the love story began,

329
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 7: and you know they just went from there. So so cool.

330
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 7: It is a Hollywood story.

331
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: So growing up and being on set, did you always

332
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: know you wanted to work in the entertainment industry. Did

333
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,439

334
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: the start of your entertainment career.

335
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 7: Well, I don't know if it's entertainment career, but yes,

336
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 7: The Wonderful World of Disney had a Sunday night movie

337
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 7: called and it was called The Monster of Strawberry Cove, Okay,

338
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 7: And I was eight and my dad was directing, so

339
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 7: I got to be in that. And then you know,

340
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 7: I little parts. You know you're in there.

341
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 6: You know.

343
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 7: we called an under five during the time, and I'd

344
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 7: get to do the under five or something.

345
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 6: Weren't you in eighteen again with George Burns? Oh my,

346
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 6: I mean it's one of the good, the greatest films ever.

347
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 7: I loved the movie. And I and Yep, Lady Orderly

348
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 7: and the old woman who I get to work with.

349
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 7: Every once in a while they pull the covers back

350
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 7: and I go, she likes it that way. And then

351
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 7: I continued down the gurney hall, you know, so I

352
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 7: got to do that. I was the King of one liners.

353
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 7: I was in Hell Hath No Fury with Loretta Switt

354
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 7: from Mash oh yeah, yeah, well yes, yeah, hell hath

355
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,760

356
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 7: a lot of those small, small roles. But then I

357
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 7: moved back from New York looking for a job and

358
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 7: I started stage managing and did home improvement kid married

359
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 7: with Chill Wren, did a few other shows, and then

360
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 7: I got lucky and I landed on boy Meet's World.

361
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 7: That's yeah, thank you for bringing on my parents. I

363
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:12,800

00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: So great are they are?

Speaker 3: They both still with us, They.

366
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 7: Are both passed, which even you know when they do pass,

367
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 7: just all you do is want to talk about them.

368
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: So yes, so I.

369
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 7: Get to do that.

370
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 6: So were you when you were starting in the industry.

371
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 6: Were you more drawn to being in front of the

372
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 6: camera or did you know you were always going to

373
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 6: end up like your dad, like, you know, behind the

374
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 6: scenes and directing things and all that kind of stuff.

375
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 7: A little bit of both. I think I had more

376
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 7: in front of the camera desires when I was young,

377
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 7: even when I become an old guy, you know, and

378
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 7: he's there. But I think you know, a director or writer,

379
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 7: an actor, all those creative places is where I wanted

380
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 7: to be you know, so yeah, yeah, but I started

381
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 7: as an actor. I remember seeing some being in the

382
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 7: audience of seeing some warm up and I went, oh,

383
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 7: I could I'd like that job. Oh I never got there,

384
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 7: but I saw myself as acting, and I went to

385
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 7: New York and went to Circle in the Square and

386
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 7: did some off off off Broadway before I returned to

387
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 7: Los Angeles. But it was all a wonderful time.

388
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: So what do you what do you think some lessons

389
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: you learned from your parents about making TV? What do

390
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: you think are some lessons you brought with you then

391
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: into your role as stage manager on Boy Meets World.

392
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 7: You know, they might have come later on in my life,

393
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 7: the lessons, but I don't. I think they definitely came

394
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 7: from my father and my mother. But you know, leave

395
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 7: your ego at the door.

396
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a.

397
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 7: Stage And that's a big one because constantly we're talking

398
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 7: and figuring out things. So that was a big one.

399
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 7: Is always leave your door, leave your eager at the door.

400
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 7: And I tell you, when I walk onto a stage,

401
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 7: I just look around a lot of mornings and I

402
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 7: just go, I get to do this, Yeah, I get

403
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 7: to do this. And you know. I'll quote my friend

404
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 7: Sean Wheeler. He would come up to me and say, Mike,

405
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 7: they feed us, we laugh all day, and they give

406
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 7: us a check at the end. And really it's when

407
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 7: you learn, when you figure out, oh, this is a

408
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 7: great place to be, just you're grateful, and that's probably

409
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 7: what is a big lesson for me. Yeah.

410
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you were on our show for four and

411
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: a half seasons, right.

412
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so? Yeah, what are.

413
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: Some of your favorite memories?

414
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: Will save Steve's having a baby, I want the whole

415
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: story about that at the end, But other than Steve's

416
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: having a baby, what are some of your favorite memories

417
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: from from your time on Boy?

418
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 7: Well, I do remember laughing a lot, absolutely. But when

419
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 7: I got a chance to talk to Steve Hayfer last

420
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 7: week a little bit and the audience show was crazy incredible.

421
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 7: I mean it was just was it Mitch who did

422
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 7: the w Ye Mitch Danielle. It was like the Beatles

423
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 7: have arrived. I don't know if you remember this, but

424
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 7: but I would follow you out and you would say

425
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 7: a loo to the audience, and I mean that we

426
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 7: had everybody and they were just it was for me,

427
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 7: it was the beginning of how intense audience shows can be. Now, yeah,

428
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 7: you're probably used to it now with Lopez versus Lopez

429
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 7: and and just keeping that audience energy up. I came

430
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 7: from like audiences being kind of watch and just when

431
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 7: the light come on, applause and left. Yeah, but I

432
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 7: remember the audience shows being just.

433
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 8: Some raucous yea.

434
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 7: Raucus is the word.

435
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 8: Because they were young too. I mean, we think about it,

436
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 8: you know, and I think, yeah, whenever the audience showed up,

437
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 8: it was like, oh, right, we're a show, We're a

440
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 8: nobody would recognize No adults recognize us anywhere, so we

441
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 8: you know, but when you got around kids, it was

442
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 8: a different story teenagers.

443
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,640

Speaker 6: We have a family, yeah, the Sheer family. Yeah, they

445
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,400

Speaker 1: At some point some of the audience that was brought

473
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: in for our live tapings were inmates literal.

474
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 3: Like one work release or prisoner.

475
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 7: Be surprised, really, I would not be. I'm not going

476
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 7: to confirm that, but I would not be surprised.

477
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 8: Would that have been for our Wednesday tapings because remember

478
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 8: we started doing Wednesday audiences because we normally had a

479
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 8: Thursday night show. But then we started bringing in an

480
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 8: audience for our Wednesday tapeings. It was like a smaller audience,

481
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 8: and I thought they were busting in kids like from schools,

482
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 8: and Will thinks that they were inmates.

483
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 7: I could go along with that. I don't know.

484
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, oh.

485
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 10: My gosh, will you finally have you have a little

486
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 10: bit of support have caught years and rations of I

487
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 10: mean it could have been young, juvenile inmates.

488
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

489
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 7: I love you. But also I remember such a family

490
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 7: feel to the show.

491
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and there's nothing like jail to make you

492
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: feel like family.

493
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 4: You know.

494
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: When I think jail, I think family.

495
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 7: I mean on stage, you know, yeah, feeling of family

496
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 7: when we did an audience show.

497
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: So yes, those were those were some of the best

498
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: days we have talked so much about. There's that unimitable

499
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: energy of a live studio audience where it's just all

500
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: the work you've done throughout the week as a family,

501
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: like you're talking about, where all week it's just us

502
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: and how you know you and Steve and Dee d

503
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: And and Mark Pabson were kind of our first audience.

504
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: You're the people to see the show, and you let

505
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: us know if it's funny, and we work on it

506
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: all week and then that audience.

507
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 8: That was really Yeah, that's what I remember, you know,

508
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 8: the sense of like comfort that we had just we

509
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 8: are small, little you know, dozen people, I mean, and

510
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 8: especially near the end when we were switching directors constantly,

511
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 8: it was like, you guys, you and Steve were like

512
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 8: really our rocks, you know, as far as like who

513
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 8: the faces we saw every day and who knew us

514
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 8: the best and knew our routines.

515
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 7: You know.

516
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 6: It was amazing how how fast the stage went from

517
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 6: feeling empty and cavernous to tiny impact because you we

518
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 6: would go from there be like you, like writer said,

519
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 6: there'd be fifteen of us on stage total, the whole

520
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 6: the whole crew, everything all day just in this echoe

521
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 6: chamber to you know, running out the show and then

522
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, there's hundreds of people there. There's

523
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 6: people backstage, there's people getting food, there's people and all

524
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 6: of a sudden it's this tiny little area.

525
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: It was in credible how it changed so fast.

526
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, during the beginning of the week. It starts on

527
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 7: a page and then you guys bring life to it,

528
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 7: and then all the elements come and all the production

529
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 7: teams start working. And I have to say I did

530
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 7: look at some episodes. The costumes were amazing. Yeah, you

531
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 7: guys looked fabulous in it, and it was so well written,

532
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 7: and then you guys get a hold of it and

533
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 7: make it so much better throughout the week. And that's

534
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 7: what's great about half hour sitcoms.

535
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so much fun.

536
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's tell the full story about Steve's having

537
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: a bank.

538
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 7: I don't know, but I think it was a very

539
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 7: topanga Christmas, was it not?

540
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: Thank you Roch.

541
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 7: I think it's the one hundredth episode.

542
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: I believe never even thought about it.

543
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: We did talk about have we passed our hundredth episode,

544
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: yet at this point we didn't know exactly which one

545
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: it would have been. But you're right, it would have

546
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: been around the time of a a very manga Christmas.

547
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 7: I think so. I think so, and I think.

548
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 5: It was my I tend to do this even to

549
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 5: this day, is kind of say something odd and everyone

550
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 5: does the switch pan over, you know, the head turn,

551
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 5: and it kind of just stops him for a moment

552
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 5: and then we can get.

553
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 7: Back on track and start working. So yes, it was

554
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 7: my attempt to do that, just to have everyone kind

555
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 7: of like, okay, subtle and it worked, and it did

556
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 7: didn't work. I heard it continued on.

557
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 8: So I still to this day, if I'm trying to

Speaker 7: Place Loves to Go, we got all through.

588
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, announcing the run through time one thirty run through,

589
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: just letting.

590
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 7: The actors and all the departments know we got some

591
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 7: stuff to do before.

592
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

593
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: It helps focus everyone in a way that doesn't feel

594
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: like you're trying to stop the fun. You're just trying

595
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: to focus the energy, which is you know, especially on

596
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: a cast with a lot of young actors, it can

597
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: be like hurting sheep. And if you are, if you

598
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: make them feel bad or like they you know, you're.

599
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 8: Just confrontational anyway, Yes, hey, hey, pay attention. You know,

600
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 8: if you're like calling people out individually. It can go

601
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 8: wrong so quickly. You need to be like, it's all

602
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 8: of those we're all in this together, and I'm working hard,

603
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 8: you're working hard, and it's so great. I've definitely I've

604
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 8: missed that on other sets, you know, Like I remember

605
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 8: leaving Boy Meets World and going onto other sets and

606
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 8: like people are yellers in like a really negative way,

607
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 8: like stage managers who just want to bark at people

608
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 8: or call somebody out individually, and it never works. You

609
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 8: had such a great tone. You and Steve and Dedie

610
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 8: all just created such a positive environment. It always felt

611
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 8: fun and like it never felt like we were being

612
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 8: shushed or told to like focus. It was just like

613
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 8: we're all doing this together.

614
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: It was so good.

615
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a lot of fun, and the spirit

616
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 7: of fun is so important for rehearsal and shooting, especially

617
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 7: if you're creative. You know, you can't be stifled that way.

618
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 7: So it's it's important to keep that fun and then

619
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 7: keep the ball moving exactly, cameras rolling, and it's that

620
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 7: combination that really works, especially on a half hour. It's

621
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 7: really just if they're having fun on stage, then the

622
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 7: audience is having fun watching it. So Yeah, that's always

623
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 7: important to remember, for at least for me to remember. Yeah.

624
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 6: There there's also something really interesting that I don't think

625
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 6: I realized until I was much older, where we've talked

626
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 6: about how a lot of the drama or anything that

627
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 6: was going on upstairs in the writer's room with producers

628
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 6: was kept from us.

629
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: We were purposely that was never thrown in our face.

630
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 6: Nobody wanted us to deal with that drama, and it

631
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 6: was really the three of you that were the buffer

632
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 6: and the barrier between that world and our world.

633
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: And I'm just.

634
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 6: Curious if you remember any times where it was like, Okay,

635
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 6: this is happening, but we're gonna do this instead, and

636
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 6: we're gonna talk to the kids like this because we

637
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 6: don't want them to know what's going on over here.

638
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 7: Yeah. I knew there was stuff going on, but you know,

639
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 7: they were all great writers up there, sure, and they

640
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 7: would come down for run through. I don't really remember

641
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 7: anything that was too crazy, you know that we had

642
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 7: to keep you guys from. It was pretty straightforward. I

643
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 7: mean when they came down, they wouldn't come down during

644
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 7: the day. I don't think we saw no or Howard

645
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 7: or Nolment or anybody and then so yeah, they would

646
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 7: come down and then it would be all smiles, and no,

647
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 7: I think they really I remember Judy Tole as a

648
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 7: wonderful Yeah, she was amazing. She was so funny. But no,

649
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 7: I don't remember holding back or anything like that.

650
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 9: Okay, good, Yeah, yeah.

00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned the wrestling episode and what that was like

652
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: and how and those hardships. Do you have any other

653
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: episodes that you remember standing out as maybe being hard

654
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: to manage or just particularly difficult.

655
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 2: For any particular reason.

656
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: Are there any episodes that really stand out to you

657
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: as being maybe disasters?

658
00:34:59,800 --> 00:34:59,920

00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 6: Silver Spoons or the Jefferson's.

761
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 3: How different were those sets then than they are now?

762
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 7: Well, they were. They were so pascenium. They weren't that deep,

763
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 7: you know, I mean I remember silver Spoons nowadays, I

764
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 7: mean the sets are deep and there's hallways now. Yeah.

765
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 7: But yeah, so they weren't that deep. There weren't that

766
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 7: many swing sets, you know. I mean silver Spoons had

767
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 7: had a Hamburger spot yep, that they all went to.

768
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 7: But uh, and their living room I mean it's living

769
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 7: living room comedy, right yeah, so uh and and all

770
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 7: in the family and all those were living room comedies.

771
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 7: The sets weren't that deep, so that's a big difference.

772
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 7: Lighting was simpler and a lot more flat than it

773
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 7: is now. And then we went from I mean three

774
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 7: camera everyone calls it the three camera style to four

775
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 7: camera and then even I think maybe on on Tim's

776
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 7: news show that they have Tim Allen's new show they

777
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 7: have maybe even have a fifth cam. I don't know,

778
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 7: but he was the.

779
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: One that they the jib plays as the fourth camera.

780
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't, it's it doesn't get added as a fifth.

781
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: We can't have a fifth if we need it. But

782
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: the jib is just one of the four cameras.

783
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 7: Nottcha so uh, which is a game changer in terms

784
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 7: of the beverage. But because you can cover a hallway

785
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 7: or something like that, or upstage line, that makes it

786
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 7: you know, we back in the day it was all

787
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 7: you know, in front of the couch.

788
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

789
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 7: It was all a couch comedy basically. But I think

790
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 7: that was a big difference. There are a lot deeper sets, man.

791
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: The tim the shifting gears sets are so deep, that's.

792
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 6: What you're saying, Yeah, because you're right, silver spoons. I

793
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 6: mean they're supposed to be in a luxury mansion.

794
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:46,359

00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,479
Speaker 6: Two bedroom, which was the coolest thing in the world,

796
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 6: was just like a bedroom. It's like it's a pretty

797
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 6: basic bedroom so.

798
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 7: The basic room where they walked into it's like, oh okay.

799
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, never thought about that.

800
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:00,960

Speaker 1: get to direct your first episode?

901
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 7: I think it was the fourth season of How I

902
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 7: Met Your Mother? Okay, and then stayed, of course with

Speaker 7: forth from first ad to director. Yeah, as long as

908
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 7: it's a creative process and someone's making me laugh, I

909
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 7: will show up.

910
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, how I met your mother is? I mean,

911
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 6: the cast over there were just so good and so funny.

912
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 6: What was it like directing them because I mean, my god,

913
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 6: they've all gone on to do incredible things just because

914
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 6: they were so talented.

915
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 3: Wasn't ensemble? What was that like?

916
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 7: Well, it truly is a lot of fun. And what

917
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 7: we did was we shot three days out of the week. Really,

918
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 7: we do our production meeting and a kind of a

919
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 7: bit of a rehearsal on Monday Tuesday. We'd put the

920
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 7: whole entire thing up on it on its feet, and

921
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 7: a lot of it was outside on the back lot

922
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 7: of Fox, and a lot of it was scheduling because

923
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 7: you know, Jason Siegel was doing movies. They were all

924
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 7: you know, Neil had a busy schedule, Kobe had a

925
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 7: busy schedule, on. Alison had a big, busy schedule, but

926
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 7: Pamela Freeman really helmed the majority of those episodes. I

927
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 7: think she directed pretty much somewhere near two hundred sez. Yeah. Yeah,

928
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 7: But the show could not have been done without her,

929
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 7: without just sensibility and her comedy sense and her ability

930
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 7: just to like get get the scene and know that

931
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 7: she had it and then move on me when I

932
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 7: was doing and I'm like, let's go again. But it

933
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 7: was a lot of fun directing all those guys, and

934
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 7: and we still keep in touch, and it's it's just

935
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 7: a great group.

936
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 6: Do you think please help me out here, help help

937
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 6: me out Michael, Please. Do you think sitcom will ever

938
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 6: get back to where it was back in the day.

939
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 7: That is a great question, and I pondered that question

940
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 7: a lot. Actually, I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful. Uh you know,

941
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 7: I could go really to take a deep dive in it.

942
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 7: It's it's the new stories that are coming. As long

943
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 7: as people are telling new stories and we have some

944
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 7: writers who can get the cadence and the rhythm of

945
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 7: a sitcom, you know, I'm very hopeful because it's all

946
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 7: about the new stories about what's happening in the latest

947
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 7: living room or bedroom or wherever that living room comedy sense.

948
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 7: I think we went a you know, far away from it,

949
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 7: and I think we're coming back. And I think a

950
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 7: lot of children's television, you know, with all the effects

951
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 7: and all those things kind of came in, you know,

952
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 7: Lopez versus Lopez. It's people talking in a living room. Yeah,

953
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 7: father daughter stuff. You know. I'm so lucky to be

954
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 7: on Happy's place because they are such great writers and

955
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 7: the whole group over there. It's people coming to a

956
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 7: bar and talking and making funny.

957
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 8: Yeah.

958
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,439
Speaker 7: My favorite thing is making funny, you know. Yeah, things

959
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 7: like that when you find it on the page. I'm

960
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 7: telling you, Boy meets World, you can imagine it on

961
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 7: the page. And then when you guys got it, I

962
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 7: don't know where you guys got all this incredible timing,

963
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 7: you know. I mean it was from even from season

964
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 7: two three. This you guys just took something on a

965
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 7: page and made it so good. It had a lot

966
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 7: of great elements. So yes, I'm hopeful.

967
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, me too, Me too.

968
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 7: I think you guys should go pitch a story to Isaac. Isaac,

969
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 7: and it's not a bad idea, yeah idea, because I

970
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 7: think you know, our audiences are of our TV audiences

971

00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, well a lot of our a lot of

974
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: our Boy Meets World fans were also How I Met

975
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: your Mother fans and so could you share a favorite

976
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: behind the scenes memory or story from that show? So

977
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: for everyone listening just to hear a BTS story from

978
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: another show they love that isn't ours.

979
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, so many stories. We had such great

980
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 7: departments there. I mean I remember that I had. It

981
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 7: was an episode that I was doing. They had to

982
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 7: take a tie and a bird had to swing down

983
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 7: and grab the tie's going out, and I'm like, no,

984
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 7: my dear, how we're going to shoot this. I don't

985
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 7: know what's going to work. And our prop department was

986
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 7: able to figure it out, fake bird coming and grabbing

987
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 7: it and then swinging it out, and it looked real

988
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 7: and it was just amazing.

989
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

990
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 7: You know, we went on location. After location, we went

991
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 7: to Zooma Beach and shot a great episode there with

992
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 7: Kobe Smolder singing a song. I remember a rain scene

993
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 7: where they come out after the hurricane, I think, and

994
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 7: they're dancing in the rain, and that's not the easiest

995
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 7: thing to shoot, yeah, because we don't want to dry

996
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 7: them off, but you know, going uh and of course

997
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 7: they're like, get move on on this. That was a

998
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 7: lot of fun. Just Oh. My favorite is we're on

999
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 7: the back lot. Kobe has to be on a BMX

1000
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:09,240
Speaker 7: bike and jump over a series of cars. Oh my gosh,

1001
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 7: and how is this going to work? And it's a stunt,

1002
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 7: it's a crazy stunt. And we had this stunt person

1003
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 7: and I'm talking at least four cars, five cars, b

1004
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 7: AMX bike running running stop hold, you know, get the

1005
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 7: stunt person in and do it. And then of course

1006
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 7: the one hundredth episode, we're on New York doing a

1007
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 7: dance number. It was unbelievable. We did it. And we'd

1008
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 7: have to shoot this stuff in three days, two days,

1009
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 7: maybe we'd have a day on the back lot, come

1010
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 7: back in. We had forty or fifty pop scenes like

1011
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 7: they were just quick pops, and then we'd surround those

1012
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 7: with scenes from the apartment or scenes from the apartment

1013
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 7: the bar, and then intercut with these pop scenes. So

1014
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 7: it was it was a to do every week.

1015
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 8: You guys ever shot in front of an audience with

1016
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 8: that show.

1017
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 7: Ever shot in front of an audience, It's always quite

1018
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 7: the challenge and schedule. I mean they were such a

1019
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 7: busy cast. Yeah, yeah, doing their own projects and promoting

1020
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,240
Speaker 7: the show, which I'm all like, you know, when people

1021
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 7: come for interviews and things like that, I'm like, no,

1022
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 7: the more promotion a show can get better for everybody. Yeah,

1023
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:24,919
Speaker 7: keep it going.

1024
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 6: Did the stunt person actually jump cars on a BMX bike?

1025
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, That's what I was amazed about, you know. And

1026
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 7: I'm always crossing my as the first aide. Of course,

1027
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 7: my fingers just going, you know, and then did we

1028
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 7: get it? Did we get it? No, let's go again.

1029
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 7: And then of course the rain. We had rain. They

1030
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 7: loved to shoot. They would love to write the rain,

1031
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 7: whether it was inside on the stage or outside. I

1032
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 7: can't let my actors get drenched without wah, getting drenched.

1033
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 7: I had my little yellow cap on, my little yello

1034
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 7: at the jacket, you know, and Allison would wave.

1035
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,240
Speaker 8: Me in like, come on, come on, get the water, get.

1036
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 7: Wet like the rest of us. We're all running around.

1037
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 7: But things with just working with animal working with dogs

1038
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 7: on the Huhed episode, you know, and they have to

1039
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 7: go on queue to something and for it to happen.

1040
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 7: I'm just I'm like all bright eyed because you know,

1041
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 7: big smiles because of it. If an animal actually does

1042
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 7: what it's supposed to do, it's just an amazing feat.

1043
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: So, yes, Michael, I want you to you can admit

1044
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: something to us. Now tell me it's thirty years later.

1045
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: You can feel comfortable telling us the truth. Did you

1046
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: hate the Backstreet Boys bit that the guys did during

1047
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: the live taping because it would completely screw up the schedule?

1048
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 7: No? Absolutely, I would. That's the fun of it all. Okay,

1049
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 7: that's the fun of it all. No, I was. I've

1050
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:10,879
Speaker 7: never been maybe early on in my career about a

1051
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 7: time time it's like and of course you guys are

1052
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 7: a lot of a lot of actors are under time schedules.

1053
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 7: They yeah, finished, but never No, I think that is

1054
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 7: the fun of it all, you know, to arrive and

1055
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 7: just for something like that to happen so organically and yeah,

1056
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 7: and to be able to laugh and see the audience reaction,

1057
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, so much fun.

1058
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:35,959
Speaker 2: Yeah it was. It was so much fun.

1059
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: And once it became like a regular part, it was

1060
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: just okay, time to account for this extra twenty or

1061
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 1: thirty minutes in.

1062
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 8: The camera, the cameras, everybody starting the stage.

1063
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was. It was an evening. I'm telling you

1064
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 7: every every tape that was in the evening so much fun.

1065
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 1: If you had to give a pitch to our listeners

1066
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: about joining the industry in the field of being a

1067
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: stage manager or a first d D today, what would

1068
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: you say.

1069
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 7: That's a great question. I uh I. When there's a

1070
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 7: new PA or someone in the office, I always go,

1071
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 7: you know, what do you want to do? What do

1072
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 7: you you know? And if they say I want to

1073
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 7: be on the floor as a stage manager first a

1074
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 7: d H, you're going to stand on your feet for

1075
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 7: a long time. Yeah, it's a lot of hours on

1076
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 7: your feet, and you're always pushing something up the hill,

1077
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 7: you know. In terms of getting it done, I mean,

1078
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 7: the week is scheduled and we have to get the

1079
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 7: week done. But I would truly say, it's just going

1080
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 7: to be just such a fun ride. Yeah, if you can,

1081
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 7: especially in the sitcom world, you know, I mean I

1082
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 7: wouldn't even if I was asked to. I don't think

1083
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 7: I'd ever go a d as single camera or even

1084
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 7: you know, a television show. You know, I'm qualified to

1085
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 7: do it, but I have no desire to do something

1086
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,919
Speaker 7: like that because you're not laughing every day.

1087
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 6: So there's such an energy, there's such an energy to

1088
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 6: doing a sitcom that it's if we lose that, we're

1089
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 6: going to be losing such an important part of this

1090
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 6: entire industry. It is the perfect combination of a play

1091
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 6: in your home every week and it can just be

1092
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 6: fun and oh my god, we can't lose that.

1093
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 3: We can't lose it.

1094
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 7: One hundred percent of how I feel because it is

1095
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,959
Speaker 7: and it's a creative thing that we do for a week.

1096
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 7: We put up a play every week is what we

1097
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 7: you know, and it just gets better and better. So

1098
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 7: I would I would encourage them if they were, you know,

1099
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 7: to stay in sitcom basically, yeah, because I think a

1100
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 7: lot that you know, I think writers spoke about it.

1101
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 7: Ads can be very kind of very narrow minded, but

1102
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 7: in half hour sitcoms, boy, what a joy if you

1103
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 7: can get if you can get in there and enjoy

1104
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 7: that ride, it's there's nothing like it showing up to

1105
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 7: a place, I mean really and just be this is

1106
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 7: what I get to do today. Yeah, such a great thing. Man.

1110

1111
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: have been even a couple of months ago.

1112
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,560

1125
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: I love that jin it andn't funny? He really does

1126
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: look and sound exactly the same. He looks the same, yeah,

1127
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean the voice. I get that people's voices don't

1128
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: often change that much, but I mean.

1129
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 3: He looks the same. It's weird.

1130
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so much fun I also feel like he's

1131
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 6: a total kindred spirit when it comes to sitcom, where

1132
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 6: he's just you know, he loves it. He gets it.

1133
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 6: He wants it to continue, and he's like, no, I'm not.

1134
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 6: I can go on and do other stuff.

1135
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 3: I'm not.

1136
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 6: This is this is what I love in this industry.

1137
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 6: And man, I feel exactly the same way.

1138
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:23,439
Speaker 8: I love how production oriented his brain is, Like how

1139
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 8: you know, because it was like we asked him about

1140
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 8: like when you asked him about the set, what were

1141
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 8: those sets? Like in my mind, you were asking a

1142
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 8: sort of social question like what is you know, what

1143
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 8: was the what was the environment?

1144
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so he was like he went physical.

1145
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 8: He was like there were deeper and he described all

1146
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 8: the production concerns, which is like right, because that's what

1147
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 8: he's been living in and like, yeah, even when we

1148
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 8: asked him behind the scenes moments like the bird and

1149
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 8: the tie and the rain, and it's like yes, because

1150
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 8: you know that's you. That's where his brain has just

1151
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 8: had to be for thirty plus years. It's like when

1152
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 8: you're in the stage management or the directing chair, that's

1153
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 8: that's what you're so much of your day taken up

1154
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 8: with that. Where it's like for us, because we're watching

1155
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 8: the show now, we're looking at the end product, which

1156
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 8: is the writing, the you know, the finished storytelling and

1157
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 8: then we experienced the storytelling from the inside as actors,

1158
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 8: so it's like we kind of don't have that in

1159
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 8: between phase. Now I feel like, you know, I've gotten

1160
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 8: it by directing or working on sets again, but as kids,

1161
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 8: we never had it. And so it's so cool to realize, like, right,

1162
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 8: he and Steve and Dedey and all of our directors

1163
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 8: were just working so hard on this whole other, like

1164
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 8: brain like perspective, this whole other point of view that

1165
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 8: we just didn't even think was there. It was just

1166
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 8: just happened, you know.

1167
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 6: I had that moment again at this this selfish actor

1168
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 6: moment as he's talking, He's like, well, we had to,

1169
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 6: you know, get out a call sheet and everything. I

1170
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 6: was like, oh, that's right. You had to fill out

1171
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 6: a call sheet every single.

1172
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 8: Reports. Yeah, I mean think about it. It's crazy.
