WEBVTT - Adam Scott Meets World 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:25.200 So I have COVIDH again, and this time I bit 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.800 the bullet. And that's going to be an apt metaphor. 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:29.200 When I talked about what I want to talk about 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.879 and I took the packs, Loavid, and I want to 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:36.160 play a little game show with you both, if that's 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.080 all right, And the game show is going to be, 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.960 what's the weirdest side effect from a medication you've ever had? 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:46.919 Right or strong? Daniel fish will come on down? So 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.479 on the packs, Loavid. A side effect that everybody has 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.000 talked about, which I've now I'm in day three of 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:58.760 is it's just constantly like I'm sucking on a giant battery. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.160 Was what I though, you're gonna say, a giant lemon? 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:08.600 And I was like I would have been. It's this 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:14.160 metallity acidity not which again I've been reading about. Apparently 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.160 everyone has it on this stuff, and it's just it's 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.200 never ending, it's all and it's very odd, and I'm 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.800 just curious. Can either of you remember anything you've taken 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.960 that's given you any bizarre side effects? No? I mean 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:28.800 I feel like we have to tell the story of 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:33.440 when I was on drugs the first time. It's one 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.039 of my favorite memories from world altogether. It's just you 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.800 leaning up against the locker in the in the school hallway, 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.039 having absolutely no idea what was going on. And I 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.800 was like, I had had a really bad ingrown tone 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.520 nail because I have wide feet and I used to 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.040 cram them into boots and choose that I shouldn't have 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.240 been cramming my feet into and I let this ingrown 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.360 toneenail get incredibly infected and it was awful and painful, 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.840 but I just ignored it because the show must go 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:06.120 on and on tape night or actually was probably a Wednesday. Well, 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.600 we definitely had an audience because so I went and 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.959 got this toe dealt with, you know, went to some 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.480 surgery basically surgery like they cut you know, they actually 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:18.040 cut your toe open, and they gave me pain medication, 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.720 which I had never taken anything. I had never taken 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.360 biking in or whatever. And yeah, I remember being in 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.959 the classroom, sitting there and just completely missing my cue 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.760 and going I just remember in front of the oh 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.360 wait that's me, and the audience just lost it and 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.919 we're and you guys were look what is wrong with you? 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.000 I was just so dopey and I wonder if we're 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.320 gonna be able to tell what episode it was because 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.360 I have no recollection. But you remember me by the 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.080 lockers to writer, you and I were standing next to 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.760 each other. You were leaning against the lockers, and it 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.520 was one of those times where like you were supposed 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.320 to say something and you didn't say anything, and I 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.720 was like, you were like, oh, that's me. And then 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.480 in between you looked at me and you were like, 0:02:55.800 --> 0:03:01.360 I'm so out of it, like what's going on? And 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:07.240 you were like I was like, oh man, I had 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.280 never seen you like that because you were basically straight 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:14.920 edge anything. I didn't drink or anything drink, so you 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.680 were just like I was like, wow, this is this 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:23.680 is interesting. Um I can't. Any time I think of 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.840 medication stories, I think of the During the pilot of 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.560 Girl Meets World, I got very sick. It was no surprise. 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.600 I got very sick. And I did not know that 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.520 um musin X was a one pill per twenty four hours. 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.560 Did yeah, yeah, and that's the one I was taking. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.880 And I thought, I talk about a terrible assumption. I 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.480 assumed it was like advil or something, or maybe I 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:50.920 don't even know if adills this way but I assumed 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.400 it was one every four hours, and I was very, 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.560 very sick and we had to be shooting and it was, 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:57.920 you know, one of those days. And so I woke 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.440 up and I took one and it made me feel better. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.840 I was like, Wow, this is actually working. I feel great. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.480 And then four hours later I was like, coming, take 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.680 another one, and I took another one. And I did 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.320 that throughout the course of the day. And when I 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.840 tell you, oh, it's like a speed thing. I was racing. 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.960 You needed Michael Jacobs to tell you to slow down. 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.799 It was like going back to being twelve years old 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.159 and being told to someone was like what are you 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.080 What are you taking? And I was like, music next, 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:24.680 you know, music next. They were like, oh, yeah, one 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:33.400 every twenty four hours. I was like, I'm that and 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:38.840 I was thirsty. I was so thirsty. I was like 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:45.159 my lips were sticking to my teethet he well, welcome 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.039 to Pod Meets World.

Well, 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.000 half the time, that's a lie. Uh, just kidding, It's 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.240 really never a lie. But this time I'm going to 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.360 have to come up with a better word than exciting, 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.120 because this is like way more than exciting. We've been 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.520 bubbling about this and and talking about this guest, and 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.599 I am just absolutely thrilled to have him. He's arguably 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.000 the most successful actor that wasn't the voice of Kit 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.640 from Night Writer to ever come out of Killed History, 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.279 and from his standout role in Step Brothers to the 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:37.239 cult classic Party down to my personal favorite Ben Wyatt 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.640 on Parks and rec He is obviously an extremely prolific 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.920 comedic and now a dramatic actor who was just nominated 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.560 for his first Emmy celebrating his work on the brilliant 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:51.279 show Severance. But today we are only interested in his 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:55.560 role as Griffin Griff Hawkins on three episodes of Boy 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.440 Meats World, So please help me. Welcome to the show, 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:05.320 Adam Scott. Yeah, guys, Hello, I haven't seen you in 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:09.400 a long time. You ever forever? Do you guys even 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:16.560 remember me? Ye? Around? Course of course we did, of course, 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.159 but you were you were definitely one of the older 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.000 guys though, because you're you're like you know, I mean, 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.040 you were like five years older than Will maybe or whatever. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.919 But the difference when you're seventeen and twenty three or whatever, 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.479 it was huge. The golf was huge. So yeah, but 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.919 I mean we definitely remember you for sure. Yeah. But 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.039 he started, I mean we were even younger because he 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:40.000 started in season two O two, so we were fourteen 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.279 years old. Were writer? You were four teen and I 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.120 think you may have been eighteen. Well that's the thing 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.560 that that's so that I've been thinking about the past 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.320 few days is like back then, like now, our age 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:57.719 difference is not somewhat negligible, like like whatever world grown ups, 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.479 middle aged grown ups. But then I was an adult 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.640 and you guys were like little kids. Will you you were, 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.200 you know, teenager or whatever. But yeah, it's like you 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:15.120 were like younger than my kids now walking around. Um yah, 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.360 and I was I think I was twenty was it 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:24.600 nine four? Yeah? Yeah, I was twenty one and twenty 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:31.280 two around there. You're an adult. So it's so I 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:35.920 could vote, you could drink very and I could do 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:40.040 not none of those. We were still going to studio school. Yeah, 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.840 we were like nice to meet. We got to go 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.440 get our three hours. And because that is the thing, 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.559 is that my memories of you are all like seeing 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.400 you in passing or at the rap party, like I have. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.760 I have a memory of of like everybody dancing together, 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.280 and I have a great picture of us like in 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.320 a conga line or something from a holiday party. And 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.840 that's it, Like that's the only time I really got 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:02.120 to hang out with you. I remember the one rap 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.960 party I went to was at like a western bar, 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.520 way out in Western You know what, we're not doing 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:14.280 the congo, We're doing a Western dance. It was called 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.360 Oh my god, I just remember the name of it. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:21.240 It was called Denim and Diamonds. It's the place we 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.880 went to. It was called Denim and Diamonds. And I 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:30.600 can't remember going up to say hi to Michael Jacobs, 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:33.559 and I think this is the moment he decided I 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.439 wouldn't be coming back, because I came up to say 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.120 hi to him and he was wearing like West Like 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.840 it was a Western bar and everyone's just in regular clothes, 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.559 but he had like cowboy boots and like iron jeans, 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.199 like he looked like he was ready to line dance. 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.800 The ironed jeans were part of the regular uniform. Was ok, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:59.360 it was just the cowboy? Was he just scared out 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:04.160 of me helve in to the club's that's pretty par 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.840 for the course. I mean, I have so many questions 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.880 going to the go. Let's start at the beginning, because 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.000 I was just going to jump right into those kinds 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.800 of stories. But I want to jump into You actually 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.480 started on Boy Meats World as a totally different character. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:22.160 You were a guy named Senior and you asked Corey 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:26.280 to hold your guitar. That's right? And so did you 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.760 audition for that part? Did you have a connection to 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.880 Michael Jacobs? How did you end up as Senior? No, 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.600 I that's like one of I think that might be 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:40.960 my truly my first job, certainly my first job on TV. 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.480 I think. No, I think you had done two other things, 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.440 but maybe your first TV job. Let Daniell tell you 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.040 what you've done with your where you had done? You 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:56.679 had done dead at twenty one and e R Okay, yes, um, yes, 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:00.000 Debt twenty one was an MTV pilot. That was my first. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.120 But but but that was my first job ever, which must 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:06.360 have been like six months before I got Senior on 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.000 on borne Meed's World. Uh, and Senior was that in 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.560 season two as well? That was like the beginning of 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:17.160 and then Griff was the end of season two, correct, right, Yes, 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.680 so so Senior. Yes, I auditioned for it because I 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.440 was doing like background work and stuff and then got 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.560 started getting like speaking roles and stuff and and and 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.280 so this was I definitely auditioned for it and then 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.920 came back an auditioned again later. For you did it 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.680 wasn't like you were just upgraded. You had to actually, 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.800 that's right, but you made the jump from background actor 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:46.960 to actor. Yeah, I mean it only took thirty years. 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.520 So were you you weren't technically a child actor or 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.040 were you a child actor? No. I started when I 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.800 was twenty because I went to acting school and it 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.400 was like a two year program. So I graduated when 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.640 it was twenty and then moved to Hollywood and just 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.439 started like you know, trying to you know, trying to 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.000 you know, I didn't know anyone. So I was doing 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.560 background work and like I had a manager that I 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.319 paid a fee to every month, but she got me auditions. 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.160 So that's where I started getting my jobs, Like like 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.520 Boyan's World is she that's how you know they're reputable. 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.800 By the way, Adam, when when they charge, that's how 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.959 you're in the right place. You know they're worth it. 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:32.040 When they asked you forty dollars a month, which is 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.800 what it was. It was forty a month. That's kind 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:42.720 of a bargain. Okay, so you got the role of senior. 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.040 I also want to know, do you remember seeing the band? 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:48.920 So that was in the episode Band on the Run, 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.920 and I we have not gotten to that part yet 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.960 where we watched that episode. We've just started our rewatch 0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:00.160 of season two, but I have seen the images. It 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:04.960 is the monkeys, Ricky Dolens was walking around, yes, but 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.360 also the band. It's like where Alan shows like he 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.120 used to have a band, and then the guys all 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:16.120 come back and they play and there are four guitarists. People, 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:23.240 you have to have four guitars, like not even like 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:27.080 Leonard skinnerd had four guitars. They had too and it 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:28.920 was and they thought it was too many. So yeah, 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:34.400 Eastern has the image. Oh yeah, there we go. That's 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.040 a very specific sound. So the guy on the roll 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.440 of sound, I forget his name, but the guy on 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.720 the right was the lead guitarist for Cheap Trip Trick, Yes, 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:50.400 and then Alan and this was somebody to the guy 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.600 on the left was somebody too, Yeah, and I can't 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.959 remember who. I'll figure it out. I had it, I 0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:00.960 did have O'Neill and this he doesn't. But it was 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.679 one of those things where it was like they came 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.079 in and told us who it was, and everybody under 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.800 the age of thirty five was like hunt and everyone 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.480 under the age of thirty five was like, wow, really 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:15.160 you got that guy. So it was um, yeah, I 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.320 still don't know who who that is. But the Cheap 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.280 Trick guy was very um not to ruin it before 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.679 we get to the rewatch, but very inappropriate in front 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.920 of the audience. That's remember really most about him saying 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.400 things that were just was like, oh, they're nine in 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.199 the audience. You probably shouldn't be saying stuff like that. Yeah, 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.559 and you're not playing Buddha con right now. This is 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:40.160 like a studio at seven thirty at night on a Thursday. Um. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.200 So yeah, Oh that's so funny that this was your 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.920 first episode, Adam, was your first time doing a multi 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.400 camera show like in front of a live audience. Totally. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.680 Not only that, but it was my first time being 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:54.080 on a real set where it's like built on a stage, 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.559 and so I remember, and when I came back later, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.080 it was the same thing where I just couldn't believe 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:05.360 how like perfect everything was and the air was this perfect, 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.360 like crisp cool temperature all the time, and there was 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:14.360 food everywhere. Everyone was so nice, so and so I 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.800 just you know, had no idea how I'm how I 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.400 was supposed to behave or you know, it was a 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:24.120 completely alien environment. I was just so nervous and freaked 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:28.560 out the entire time, but at the same time thought, wow, 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:32.960 this is really uh like high living, like this is 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.160 all just feels composed and perfect. Um, yeah, it was. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.200 It was. I remember a lot of it really vividly 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.200 because it was such a brand new, brand new environment. 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.240 I have to know, what did you play on the 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:51.040 er Oh, I played the same character as I played. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:57.680 I played Senior on the guitar, you know, hurt him 0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.280 he had to go to the e R. It was 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:05.680 electric shock. I just played a guy who got into 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:10.080 a car accident and got like wheeled around. I do 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.160 remember it was a one or it was like a 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.960 long like being wheeled all the way down the hallway 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:22.520 by Noah Wiley and and uh mingna mingna when uh 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.520 but they were wheeling me down the hallway and there 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.920 was a camera on me, and it was like a 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.960 three minute one of those shots. And I remember at 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.720 one one point we did the whole shot and I 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.440 had forgotten to to put the oxygen thing thing back 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.640 in my nose and and they got super pissed at Man, 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:42.760 that's like, you've burned so much film that day it 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:47.360 was on you. So that's yeah, you went from pissing 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.440 off the set of the Yard pissing off Michael Jacobs. 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.920 Apparently you go there you go. Oh man, God, I 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.080 can't even imagine. I can't even because those eight seven, 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.760 eight nine years that we're talking about an age difference. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:04.280 When you when you're thirteen fourteen, twelve, thirteen fourteen, it 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:08.480 must be so so much to carry, um all of 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.960 that pressure, but also all of these grown ups around 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.400 all the time, kind of telling you what you should do, 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.680 how things are supposed to be, and kind of defining 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.280 this world for you, and um, as you go along 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.240 you might kind of start to see things differently. It 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.760 just must be really confusing. I can only imagine yeah, 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.600 it's Uh, it's one of those weird situations where now 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.200 as adults, we realized that like, oh, no one has 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.800 any idea what they're doing. Ever, no one ever knows 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.200 what they're doing, right, We're all just faking it. We're 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.840 all pretending like everybody else knew what they were doing, 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.560 and we just were trying to keep up. And people, 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:51.360 We've realized everyone thinks we knew everything that was going 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.160 on and that we were being filled in on what 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.400 was happening, and we knew nothing. No one was telling 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.560 us a single thing. And so it was a instantly 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.800 changing environment where we thought, well, thank goodness, these adults 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.200 are in control and know what's going on, and we 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.000 just have to go with the flow. And you also, 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.520 as a kid, especially at fourteen year old, kid wants 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.600 so desperately to be taken as an adult. I'm wanted, 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.480 I'm up here, Please treat me like an adult. And 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.680 you are in a work environment, so people do kind 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.200 of treat you like adults, and and that feels good, 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.080 and you pretend to act like an adult, and then 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:27.480 when you are an adult and you look back on it, 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.360 you go, what the hell were they doing? Why were 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:33.080 they treating as like adults. We were an adults. It's 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:37.960 very strange but so bizarre trapped in the middle. That's 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.600 that's why. One of the things that was interesting, I 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.359 remember when you came back as Griff. So when you 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:46.280 came back later and um, Harley, the Harley Kinder character 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.600 has gone. They brought Griff back, and then they put 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:53.080 you with Ethan and Blake. Ethan and Blake to me, 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.760 they were the cool kids in high school and kind 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.120 of never let me forget that they were the cool 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:03.639 kids in high school. Interesting, so they instantly put you 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.600 in the camp of he's already I don't even know him, 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.560 and he's already too cool for me to hang out with. 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.720 That's so it was when you came you were instantly 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:14.560 part of the gang. That kind of let me know 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.159 that I wasn't invited to the party. So my god, 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.760 I look back at it, like, um, yeah he was. 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:22.280 He was too cool for me to even walk up 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.000 to and be like, hey, welcome to the show. So 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.080 it was more like, oh, and then you played such 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.200 a cool character right that it was It was more 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:30.920 just like I'm gonna go over there and play ping 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:32.640 pong and you guys kind of do. But yeah, Blake 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.600 and Ethan they were super nice, but they kind of 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.320 just like they actually were really cool, right, Like they 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.880 were hip like even like in real life, were like 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.560 l A hipsters in a lot of ways, like Blake 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:46.720 was already a musician and yeah, like I remember, yeah, 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.159 they were like I uh friends with DiCaprio, and like, 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.080 I just remember feeling very like, oh, they're like the 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.840 cool l A people that like we're going to grow into, 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.199 which never happened. But I was definitely intimidated by them 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.879 in the exact same way. It is so funny because 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.119 I know that when I kind of came in later 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:09.600 uh as as Griff, they were the first ones to 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.200 sort of walk up and talk to me. And they 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:16.159 were like fellow guest stars, so I felt more comfortable 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.320 like talking to them because it was like lower stakes. 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:23.000 And I do remember being way too nervous to go 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:27.240 up to you guys and talk to you. And I 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:31.320 know I know that will and and and I mean 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:35.440 Ethan and and Blake felt the same. I know that 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:40.640 they were also like more kind of nervous and watching 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:44.040 themselves around you guys. I know that I just because 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.040 we were the regulars. We were the show. I mean, 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.760 that's the thing. But from our perspective, it was like 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:53.880 completely inverted because your kids looking at more adults, so 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.000 it's just they're the cool people, and that the adults 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.000 are looking at the kids like you're the stars of 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.520 the show. And the one thing this pot doing this 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.960 podcast this showed me is it's just like if we 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:08.760 had all just had conversations back in the day, I 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.879 know it would have been so much better. But I 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.680 also remember, Adam, I remember you coming in and just 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:18.480 being super funny and super confident. It was part of 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:20.720 it was part of your character obviously to be this 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.399 sort of like cool guy, like ladies man, whatever, but 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.080 you actually had that air about yourself to like that, 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.480 Like the fact that you were nervous is just mind 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.040 blowing to me because like what I remember, because it 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:33.120 was it was a bizarre situation because you were sort 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.840 of replacing Harley Danny Dicnolti had left the show, and 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:38.840 we're gonna have him on the show and we're gonna 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:40.960 talk about what what he was going through and why 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.360 he left the show. But it was actually somewhat traumatic 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.080 for us as kids, Like he had a he had 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.679 a bad table read that did not go well, and 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.400 we replaced him midweek. Um, it's a crazy And then 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:56.040 and then so they replaced him midweek with another actor 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.600 playing like Harley. The name him Harley, or they just 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.959 renamed brought him in. I don't think it was one 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:05.679 of those weird They just oh, we have to we 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.320 have to do the script as it's written, so we'll 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:08.879 just get a new actor in here. And it was 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.400 a very uncomfortable week. And then a couple of weeks later, 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.399 I guess they had already written scripts with Harley and 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:18.280 decided to rewrite them by creating a new character, which 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.919 was Griffin. And you came in and you were just 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:24.280 and so it was as it was all. I didn't 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:27.399 know any of that. I knew that there was a 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:32.959 character before me named Harley who was um because they 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:36.680 mentioned him in my episode where it's like we're gonna 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.880 be your lack. He's just like we were for Harley. 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:42.360 That's the extent of what I knew. I just figured, 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:45.359 like this person didn't want to do the show. I 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.359 I had no clue. I had no idea of any 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:50.720 of this. It's a crazy story that Danny that we 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:52.560 can't tell it's Danny story. And I know he's gonna 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.920 tell it when he gets here. But um, because then 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:59.040 you did an episode with Danny that's right where we 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:02.520 like face off. Yes, I remember, that's where the con 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.320 That's where I saw the confidence, because again, Danny was 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:10.080 in my head forty two years old. It was the cool, 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:13.680 amazing guy. And then you instantly walk onto the set 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:15.840 and the scene was getting into his face and he's 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.320 like's gonna kick your ass and you you'd already thought 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:20.159 ten steps ahead. You're like, all right, I got I 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:21.640 can't believe these lines are coming back to me. You're 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:24.879 I do because you say, you're like, all right, well, 0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:26.199 I know you thought it all the way through. Then 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.040 you're gonna beat me up. You're gonna end up in jail. 0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:30.400 And but and then you see his mind start to work, 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:32.800 and I remember watching the scene going like, oh, he's 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:35.119 so confident, Like you just walked on and you owned 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:38.480
