Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm.
Speaker 2: Welcome to part two of our interview with wit Hertford
Speaker 2: a k a. Duck Face, a k a. Stephanie's secret boyfriend. So,
Speaker 2: without further ado, here's witt People, always as.
Speaker 3: You do, you want to hear this anecdote?
Speaker 1: I know, I'm kind of like, that's the point.
Speaker 4: Please please lead, because some days my brain can't follow myself.
Speaker 3: Do you remember this on the Friday take that first
Speaker 3: episode we had. I've said this on other podcasts, so
Speaker 3: this is like my full house. Uh so why would
Speaker 3: I not bring it to the you know, big we
Speaker 3: we had like banked some hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you do that right, right, and like like
Speaker 4: banked school hours. I'll explain that to our audience a
Speaker 4: little bit like banking. Banking school hours is like you
Speaker 4: have to have a certain amount of school hours every day,
Speaker 4: but there are some things that you can do where
Speaker 4: if you know the following day you're going to have
Speaker 4: a really crazy schedule or it's a tape day or whatever,
Speaker 4: and you have chance, a chance maybe earlier in the
Speaker 4: week or the day before, you can get in an
Speaker 4: extra couple of school hours so that it will you'll
Speaker 4: get all of the work done that you need, it's
Speaker 4: just not on that particular day. So that's when we
Speaker 4: say banking hours, it's you're kind of putting away hours
Speaker 4: in the school bank of the exact hours that you
Speaker 4: need to get every week. So anyway, a continue perfect.
Speaker 3: So then what was the teacher's name? What was her name?
Speaker 1: Adria?
Speaker 3: That was it. Yeah, she was like, we're going to
Speaker 3: do homec today and we baked banana bread.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we used to. I remember we used to
Speaker 1: do this.
Speaker 3: I'm going to say this to you for the books.
Speaker 3: I don't think I said this to you when we
Speaker 3: met before. Maybe I did. That was the most romantic
Speaker 3: moment of my life. Maybe still is. Maybe still is making.
Speaker 1: Banana breadet Oh my god, I love it. And k
Speaker 1: keen It's true.
Speaker 4: We were basically we were we were having our own
Speaker 4: Hallmark rom com.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: It was a documentary. It should have been a documentary.
Speaker 3: And then when I got in my mom's minivan after
Speaker 3: the tape to go home and drive back to Agora,
Speaker 3: cried like a babe, heartbroken because I was like, I'll
Speaker 3: never see it again.
Speaker 2: Okay, you two should have gotten married. Add that to
Speaker 2: your married and divorced. Add that to your tally.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, right, oh documentary, let's go.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there is so set.
Speaker 4: And then to know that you came back for two
Speaker 4: more episodes.
Speaker 3: Oh, and I had to play it so cool, Like
Speaker 3: in my brain.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, what was what was that like
Speaker 4: like when you when you found out you were coming
Speaker 4: back for a couple more episodes, And it really was
Speaker 4: because people fell in love with the character, like you
Speaker 4: did such a great job that the writers and the
Speaker 4: audience was like, we need more of this character and
Speaker 4: of Stephanie and him uh and I just loved their
Speaker 4: dynamic that Steph finally was like yet, no, you guys
Speaker 4: are not You're not doing this Like I I was
Speaker 4: so proud of Steph in that moment. So what was
Speaker 4: it like for you when you sure were like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, I get to come back and do this
Speaker 4: a couple more times?
Speaker 3: Thrilled, like you get addicted and it's that whole Hollywood
Speaker 3: thing where it is a it's a bit of a
Speaker 3: full goal because you're you do like episodes two three,
Speaker 3: I think I'm an end up to between three and five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was more than was it three? It's three?
Speaker 3: It might have been, And that you think it's then forever.
Speaker 3: That's what you know, Hollywood, You're like, oh, this is forever.
Speaker 3: That's why whenever people go I'm going to get on
Speaker 3: a series, it's going to be great, it's like for
Speaker 3: that time. My middle sister was on a network TV show,
Speaker 3: not a great one, for like five seasons and it
Speaker 3: was her life. And when that stopped because it was
Speaker 3: so all encompassing. I think she did like American Beauty
Speaker 3: or something like a bit in that movie. But then
Speaker 3: she she retired and she's never done it again, which
Speaker 3: is a bummer because she's actually and I've said this already,
Speaker 3: she's so so, so so funny, but she was. Yeah,
Speaker 3: she was worn out because it was like life was
Speaker 3: a little to stop start.
Speaker 1: Right, So I do.
Speaker 4: I remember my parents sort of always reminding me, not
Speaker 4: in a way of like you're gonna lose this and
Speaker 4: you should freak out, but like the reminder of this
Speaker 4: is so amazing right now, but remember like, this isn't forever.
Speaker 4: There will come a time when this will you know,
Speaker 4: and you can't really prepare for it. But it was
Speaker 4: a conversation that they always had, which was there will
Speaker 4: be life out sight of this.
Speaker 1: There will be life.
Speaker 3: Good for that after this?
Speaker 1: Damn like that too?
Speaker 2: Yeah they did. They were very good about saying, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is your Hollywood life and then this is your
Speaker 2: normal life. But that's hard to grasp as a kid
Speaker 2: because you don't think too long term as a kid.
Speaker 2: Just think about what am I going to do today
Speaker 2: and tomorrow. So I didn't really get it until Fuller House,
Speaker 2: until thirty years later, and I was like, oh, this
Speaker 2: was this is so special and so fleeting. It's like
Speaker 2: lightning in a bottle and we're going to capture it twice.
Speaker 1: And that's so can we talk?
Speaker 3: Can we talk about that show?
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that show, Fuller Why didn't we invite
Speaker 2: Why didn't we talk about? Why didn't we get you
Speaker 2: on Fuller House? That seems I can't what very rude.
Speaker 2: Why didn't we do that?
Speaker 1: Why didn't that happen?
Speaker 3: I don't know. But if I came in with tattoos
Speaker 3: and earrings as duck Face, how dope would that?
Speaker 1: That would have been so amazing?
Speaker 3: It was like duck Face Duckfest found is like.
Speaker 4: Duck Face found his grewed you know, yeah, right? Or
Speaker 4: we find out we find.
Speaker 3: Out I think I was in London. I think when
Speaker 3: you guys started, I was in London.
Speaker 4: Maybe that way, maybe that was it, because I do
Speaker 4: know we like we went out to everybody that we
Speaker 4: went out to, like everybody that had been in the
Speaker 4: I don't know that we would not have gone to
Speaker 4: duck I'm calling John as I'm gonna call Jeff right
Speaker 4: now and complain. We're gonna have to go back and
Speaker 4: reshoot a couple of episodes of the season.
Speaker 3: Let's get back to.
Speaker 4: What I was gonna say, is is I think what
Speaker 4: happened is is that duck Face, much like Steph, they
Speaker 4: both became They both traveled the world and became DJs.
Speaker 4: It was DJ Tanner, which was me and DJ Duckface,
Speaker 4: and they sort of operated in the same circles like
Speaker 4: Innibitha and all these places, you know, where they were
Speaker 4: like in their little party life or whatever. But it was,
Speaker 4: you know, it was the kind of nothing ever really happened.
Speaker 4: But now they're both back in San Francisco and and
Speaker 4: I think that's where we see things take off.
Speaker 3: This is great, you yeah, it's great.
Speaker 4: We're shooting in my garage next week. Here we go, guys. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'll start painting backdrops.
Speaker 1: Now, do you.
Speaker 3: Remember that when we when that last time I thought
Speaker 3: about doing a sketch with you that my friend had
Speaker 3: written yes for. It was like when Funnier died first.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was what did we wind up doing it?
Speaker 1: Or we know? We didn't? What happened?
Speaker 3: No? We no, we did, No, we never ended up.
Speaker 3: The producer shut it down for some reason. But I remember, Yeah,
Speaker 3: my friend Matt, who's on Breaking Bad, he was very
Speaker 3: excited about the idea. And I do I think like
Speaker 3: there was a I.
Speaker 1: Think there's definitely something there. So you let me know.
Speaker 3: You let me know, come see my check off. Let's go,
Speaker 3: let's go figure it out.
Speaker 4: I am coming to see your chek Off. I'm so excited.
Speaker 4: Vanna is such a great and I I also love
Speaker 4: Chekoff always such intensity.
Speaker 3: And let's let's be nerds about it. How did you
Speaker 3: find out about checkof? I'll talk about this.
Speaker 4: I mean I took I mean, I did acting class,
Speaker 4: I did I went to a musical I was a
Speaker 4: performing arts student. I did musical theater. I did you
Speaker 4: know of all sorts of musical theater history? And I
Speaker 4: you know, and I'm also a nerd so I like
Speaker 4: to read, and I like to do a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3: I won't I won't be labored. But yeah, there was
Speaker 3: a part of my grad degree in London where we
Speaker 3: went to Moscow for sixteen and I was one of
Speaker 3: the older directing students and so nobody liked me. So
Speaker 3: I traveled around Moscow not reading a lick of cyrillic
Speaker 3: and just was up to my neck in snow and
Speaker 3: I loved it. And I went to his house in
Speaker 3: the country and played his piano and it blew my
Speaker 3: mind apart. So I have directed four of the major
Speaker 3: works that I've adapted, and adapted all of them.
Speaker 4: Wow, okay, yeah, you you, you take the you win, obviously,
Speaker 4: I know, just a little bit here and there.
Speaker 1: I just I think it's so amazing that you really.
Speaker 4: Tried so many new things like and and and didn't
Speaker 4: let anything stop you. I mean, sounds like you had
Speaker 4: a pretty incredible journey, my friend traveling the world theater
Speaker 4: London and took.
Speaker 2: You to England. What what where did that come from?
Speaker 1: Theater?
Speaker 3: You're going to do well? I So at the end
Speaker 3: of my second tour of duty here, I was really
Speaker 3: disenchanted with being submitted for like horse jockeys and stuff
Speaker 3: for coke commercials. Literally that happened one time and I
Speaker 3: went into a big waiting room that was all little
Speaker 3: people in me and they looked at me like I
Speaker 3: was the Like they were like, get out of here.
Speaker 3: This isn't for you. And I kind of was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're right, it's not for me. And I called my
Speaker 3: agent and I was like, can you guys get creative?
Speaker 3: Not submit me for just physical descriptions because I'm an actor?
Speaker 3: Can you get creative anyway? So I then got disenchanted
Speaker 3: and was My family all migrated up to Utah, and
Speaker 3: so I was at my parents' house over the holidays
Speaker 3: a decade ago and they were like, all right, what's next?
Speaker 3: I don't know. My mom goes, you should apply for
Speaker 3: graduate school, and I was like, yo, I'm in my
Speaker 3: late thirties. Me being in a room full of actors,
Speaker 3: I'd be a nightmare. I would not be a fun
Speaker 3: person to be around. And she went, no, stupid, you
Speaker 3: should apply for directing. You've always been a director. And
Speaker 3: I thought of my dad, who pass around I was ten.
Speaker 3: Was this guy I look a lot like him? And
Speaker 3: his death sort of completely changed our entire life family trajectory,
Speaker 3: and I went, maybe that's right, and I remember my
Speaker 3: mom was like, you can be your own mayor and
Speaker 3: go do it. So I applied for grad school, but
Speaker 3: only a handful, and like four or five of them
Speaker 3: were in the States, and then there's one in England,
Speaker 3: and I was like, very not wit. I kept my
Speaker 3: mouth shut and I was like, I'm not gonna tell
Speaker 3: anyone that that's my sweetheart pick at all, and it's
Speaker 3: just going to be a thing that I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 3: gonna kind of cross my fingers. And then I got
Speaker 3: in and the way I got this is a fun story.
Speaker 3: I'm in the interview with the rep from the school
Speaker 3: and we're sitting forward and he's very English and I'm
Speaker 3: wearing like a suit and mint socks. I look really proper.
Speaker 3: And he goes, all right, witch, so why you and
Speaker 3: why this school? And I went, look, man, I don't
Speaker 3: know how a fancy reason for you. My full name
Speaker 3: is would be flint Hertford and if I don't live
Speaker 3: in the UK. At some point in my life I've
Speaker 3: slapped Fate in the face and he stood up and
Speaker 3: he hugged me, and that's how I got into drag school.
Speaker 1: That's amazing, that's amazing, what an approach. Well, but what
Speaker 1: that shows is is.
Speaker 4: Thinking on your feet, improv humor, self efficacy, humor, you know,
Speaker 4: like so I mean in that one response or like
Speaker 4: so many things, honesty, you're like, look, I don't have
Speaker 4: a fancy, like all of the things that probably a
Speaker 4: college recruit would be like this person would make for
Speaker 4: a really great student.
Speaker 3: And again thematically coming back to like give zero, I
Speaker 3: think that that's where that really started, because you know, then,
Speaker 3: I remember our first assignment was just to direct some
Speaker 3: Shakespeare scenes with the with the BA students. Everybody did
Speaker 3: pretty kind of straightforward, and I was given Henry the
Speaker 3: Fourth and I read it and I had not read
Speaker 3: this particular scene between this like he seemed like a
Speaker 3: cop and his you know, barefoot and pregnant wife. I
Speaker 3: was like, this is Tennessee Williams. This isn't Shakespeare. And
Speaker 3: so I had my actors do verse Shakespeare with Southern
Speaker 3: dialects as though it was a Tennessee Williams play. So
Speaker 3: I started off being weird as hell, and it kind
Speaker 3: of is like where that's where I operate. That's how
Speaker 3: it goes.
Speaker 4: What a fascinating choice. I mean making interesting choices, that's all.
Speaker 4: I remember acting teachers and directors always saying make an
Speaker 4: interesting choice. The fits, but make but do but do
Speaker 4: an interesting choice. Do something that's a little bit left
Speaker 4: of normal.
Speaker 3: Right right. And I remember on Day's podcast he was
Speaker 3: asking me about the guy on set that was sort
Speaker 3: of like the acting cork.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So awesome, right, so awesome. I remember that, like he
Speaker 3: figured out the lifts thing and I kind of just
Speaker 3: mimicked it and then I just ran with it and
Speaker 3: the whole like take my glasses off. He kind of
Speaker 3: enabled me to I remember that literally that he enabled
Speaker 3: me to like make ould choices.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he really, that was He was one of the
Speaker 4: first people that was like do something, you know, like
Speaker 4: be go for it, try this, try something funny.
Speaker 1: And he was so great with us.
Speaker 3: And I was going to wear these to like to
Speaker 3: like make it feel kind of but those look.
Speaker 1: Great on you? They really do? You know, like you
Speaker 1: look great? Those are not? I know that you look fabulous.
Speaker 1: I would I would. Yeah, you look also on glasses
Speaker 1: in honor.
Speaker 4: Of I don't wear I'm sorry, I don't wear glasses
Speaker 4: yet I'm on the I'm trailing behind, but I'm sure
Speaker 4: at some point and it'll happen thirty minutes.
Speaker 3: I'm not bad eyesight. My whole life. When I was
Speaker 3: a little kid, I had to do this thing, I
Speaker 3: had like a patch. Oh and then over it like
Speaker 3: I look like a really.
Speaker 4: Like, well that was where the uh, that was where
Speaker 4: the pirate started. Really, that was where you're the pirate
Speaker 4: actor guru stage started.
Speaker 3: That's right, you've just.
Speaker 1: Been perfecting it for all the time.
Speaker 3: True.
Speaker 4: Now, of course we would be remiss if we did
Speaker 4: not mention other things that you have been in Jurassic Park,
Speaker 4: Nightmare on Elm Street, family man.
Speaker 1: I mean you've done You've been.
Speaker 4: A voice, actor, a writer, producer, director, musician, so many things.
Speaker 4: You are a renaissance man. But no, but you're you're
Speaker 4: an awesome creative human being. But what has been your
Speaker 4: favorite thing that you've done in any realm create which
Speaker 4: might is probably hard to pick, but like top top
Speaker 4: experience for you creatively that you've really been, like, this
Speaker 4: is what feeds my soul?
Speaker 3: Good question? I mean recently, when I get recognized in
Speaker 3: Trader Joe's for my karaoke week and my karaoke efforts
Speaker 3: and work. That's very exciting. But you know, I think
Speaker 3: that this this Greek play because I hadn't lacked in
Speaker 3: a long time. And what I wrote that this Oedipus
Speaker 3: into tick anything we did a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: The actress had never done any theater, but she again,
Speaker 3: I got her through my workshop and she well, she
Speaker 3: done some short films and modeling or whatever, but she
Speaker 3: was just like that alien where I was like, I
Speaker 3: think I can give you text and you're gonna embody
Speaker 3: it and it's going to be so easy. And she
Speaker 3: was curious about it, and I told her, look, Antimmy
Speaker 3: speaks for seventy five minutes. Wow. By herself, she was fine.
Speaker 3: She was a great team partner. And what happened with
Speaker 3: me through that process, why, I think it was kind
Speaker 3: of you know, when you worked with Spielberg, that's that's
Speaker 3: cool as hell. That's to two days to change your life.
Speaker 3: And he was very normal. But you know, it's it's
Speaker 3: not about really processed there. You just try not to
Speaker 3: screw up. And with Oedipus, first of all, I couldn't
Speaker 3: find a sixty five year old man to do what
Speaker 3: I wanted that character do, which is you know, he's blind,
Speaker 3: he's grieving. It's really rough, there's nudity. I couldn't find
Speaker 3: a sixty five year old male actor, shockingly that wanted
Speaker 3: to do all that stuff. And so the antigony is
Speaker 3: she went, look, bitch, you're old, why don't you play it?
Speaker 3: And I was like, okay, I guess I am now
Speaker 3: dad adjacent, right, So I went and did that, and
Speaker 3: I really did him blindfold. So I did the whole
Speaker 3: rehearsal process and all the performances in darkness. And again
Speaker 3: I had never done nudity, and maybe it was really
Speaker 3: good that I was blindfolded so I couldn't see the audience.
Speaker 3: Be like, but it was such a thing where it
Speaker 3: took me. It took me to a place where I
Speaker 3: really had to just let go. And I was in
Speaker 3: flow the entire time. You know that thing when when
Speaker 3: actors say, if you don't remember how it went, it
Speaker 3: probably weren't. Every night. I was totally in a fever
Speaker 3: dream and I would end and I would you know,
Speaker 3: my director, I would ask the co director, I'd ask themone,
Speaker 3: was that garbage? And he was like, no, it was,
Speaker 3: and it was one of these cool things where I
Speaker 3: had friends that I had grown up with, friends from
Speaker 3: my LA chapters who've never seen me do theater, these
Speaker 3: big chunks of my life where I've been invested in
Speaker 3: London and in undergrad but they'd never seen me. They
Speaker 3: just see on Instagram me, you know, pontificating about it,
Speaker 3: and they got to come see me do that. And
Speaker 3: I remember at the end of the play, I rip
Speaker 3: off the bandages to metaphorically say that I regained sight
Speaker 3: and I could for the first time look at the
Speaker 3: audience and it was these people that I.
Speaker 5: Love and I felt so for lack of a better term,
Speaker 5: no pun intended steam, I felt so seen and that
Speaker 5: my art, as.
Speaker 3: You know, a balding, gray less fit forty five year old,
Speaker 3: that it was landing and it was resonating, and I
Speaker 3: had grown men sobbing, and I thought, that's it, man,
Speaker 3: that's it. When the thread is short, when you can
Speaker 3: connect and it can land and it doesn't feel like
Speaker 3: it's museum glass and you're behind velvet rope, that's it.
Speaker 3: So that experience was the one that sort of shifted
Speaker 3: everything and then made me go cool, what other old men, Oh, BONNYA,
Speaker 3: let's go do that. So I'm kind of in this
Speaker 3: this is my mode right now.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the ultimate reason that we do this, right,
Speaker 4: is to get that free flying feeling when you're like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, that was it?
Speaker 1: Like you just kind of land and you're like, did
Speaker 1: I just do we just fly?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: What do we just do that?
Speaker 3: And you get cred with than anything, right, Like like
Speaker 3: when I did impront at uc B, I wouldn't say
Speaker 3: I was the greatest sumpervisor because I actually that was
Speaker 3: a period of my life when I was judging myself
Speaker 3: and that real me up within bra and I was
Speaker 3: doing a lot of imposter syndrome where I was going, oh,
Speaker 3: they're all much funnier than me, And yeah it was.
Speaker 3: It was a rough education. But even in that the
Speaker 3: times that I would sort of lose myself, you could,
Speaker 3: you know, and even more painting seven hours then if
Speaker 3: I if I finish and it doesn't look like a disaster,
Speaker 3: that's that's that's a cool sort of start and finish.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that the product is what I care about.
Speaker 3: I really do care about process. But you can you
Speaker 3: can figure this out when I make a batch of
Speaker 3: guacamole that I'm proud of. People love that, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, that's true.
Speaker 1: It's like but the weirdest Yes, oh my god.
Speaker 4: No, no, not in the least, No, not at all.
Speaker 4: You're this is the conversations we like to have. These
Speaker 4: are the things like this is it right? We're we're
Speaker 4: all still in this business like because there's something about
Speaker 4: it that we absolutely love or that torments us, or
Speaker 4: that pushes us to want to be different or better
Speaker 4: or more creative. And I mean I love hearing you
Speaker 4: break it down like that, you know, and people will
Speaker 4: love to hear that.
Speaker 1: Like someone who.
Speaker 4: Grew up in this business as a kid has made
Speaker 4: such broad and interesting and like forward thinking choices.
Speaker 1: That's just really cool. I have a lot of admiration
Speaker 1: for you, my friend.
Speaker 3: Thanks jud you know, I mean, my my circle of
Speaker 3: dudes that I auditioned with from like eight to fifteen
Speaker 3: are all very very famous names, like the same room
Speaker 3: as you know, you're in the same room. So it
Speaker 3: was me, uh, Toby Maguire, Elijah Wood, Seth Grain, Giovanni
Speaker 3: Rubc and then me and I'm the one that kind
Speaker 3: of failed and went and lived life and had a
Speaker 3: bunch of failed marriages, and you climb up hills, you
Speaker 3: fall down others, and I'm just really and again this
Speaker 3: is gonna sound really corny, and I don't care, but
Speaker 3: I just feel really lucky to be on my own
Speaker 3: feet and to be curious. The curiosity is what keeps
Speaker 3: me afloat and so uh. Without that, I think you
Speaker 3: start to calcify, you start to really corrode, and I
Speaker 3: hope to hang on to that forever. You know, Like,
Speaker 3: I've been single here for a minute, and it's cool
Speaker 3: because I figured out it's really important lesson to be
Speaker 3: alone and not be lonely. It's the It's the radest thing.
Speaker 4: Enjoy enjoy your own company, your own space, your own thoughts.
Speaker 4: You're not trying to run away from yourself, because that's
Speaker 4: I've done that, and that's it turns out you can't.
Speaker 3: You can try, and and look I'm in my sea. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is all I've had to you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 3: it's not for lack of.
Speaker 4: Tronic right, well, well exactly, I mean, look, we're I mean,
Speaker 4: the pandemic really put a damp around things.
Speaker 1: I'll say that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's been so amazing catching up with you over all
Speaker 4: this and like hearing what an incredibly successful human you've
Speaker 4: become aside from career, aside from all of that stuff,
Speaker 4: you like, you know, you're just game recognized game, my friend.
Speaker 4: I see those of us who have done the work,
Speaker 4: we know, we can sense the bullshit, and we can
Speaker 4: sense and someone's being really genuine And I see that
Speaker 4: in you, And I'm really really happy for you, because
Speaker 4: this this business can two people up and spit them out,
Speaker 4: and it takes a lot of self discovery and a
Speaker 4: lot of digging and a lot of hard conversations with yourself.
Speaker 4: But I think, yeah, but you know what.
Speaker 3: This has got to happen on your own podcast too.
Speaker 3: Jody is like, I'm proud of you. Look at your moms,
Speaker 3: look at what you've done, yo. So like you taught
Speaker 3: me the ropes. We've kind of had like walkie talkies
Speaker 3: the whole time.
Speaker 6: So like it's what a lovely thing this entire moment
Speaker 6: as felt like And even like before I got on today,
Speaker 6: I was thinking, why does this feel like normal to
Speaker 6: talk to people I haven't talked to? Like I literally
Speaker 6: feel like I was talking to my friend incident and
Speaker 6: that's wild.
Speaker 4: No, I know, but like that we I mean, that

Speaker 4: incredibly proud of with this show that somehow it brought
Speaker 4: into its orbit.

Speaker 4: hear it.
Speaker 1: And I just i've well, you know, do you guys.
Speaker 3: You guys did it obviously, I think, you know, with

Speaker 3: reminder to think that, like, what a special place that was.
Speaker 3: I said this to Dave. I totally still stand by it.
Speaker 3: That set, what you guys created. However, the puck that
Speaker 3: happened was so warm and lovely and and most of
Speaker 3: those sets were not like that. You guys were rare,
Speaker 3: and so I think like that spirit and what everybody
Speaker 3: is carried with them as fans is a real thing.

Speaker 3: evolved as a person, and I was in like turtlebacks
Speaker 3: and I was like not okay, and turtle macks and
Speaker 3: so like, the clothes started to feel a little bit
Speaker 3: like not that they're bad clothes, but I you know,
Speaker 3: you're get encapsulated. You guys know this, and it's like
Speaker 3: you're immortalized for a period that most people in their
Speaker 3: regular life, Like when people bring up the Dinosaur movie,
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's cool. I felt so shabby and pre
