This is my 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.800 I wish I was still on vacation shirt. Oh man, 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.080 it's really great. Tell me about your vacation, because I 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:44.120 saw a couple of pictures. Where were you? What have 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.720 you been doing? Well? We went to Florida, Miami. We 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:49.680 took the kids so they could stay with grandma, and 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.879 then I took my family to Cayman Island, which was awesome. 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.080 Never been um, and so that was really nice. But 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:57.920 then we just got back from Italy. We had a 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:04.520 wedding and Sorrento awesome. And so how long were the 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:10.400 kids in Florida with grandparents? Um? For five days? And 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.960 of course the five days that we're in Cayman that's 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:19.800 when they started taking their first crawl. Like, really, you 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:25.200 choose these few days? Do you do? You have twins? 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.560 I do? Yeah, I have a word. That's so great. 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.200 At the same time, it was crazy because you know, 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.720 she was sitting up for a while, he wasn't doing anything, 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.160 and then finally shod one little crawl, and then probably 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.680 twelve hours later he was crawling because he's like, nope, 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:47.720 I am not falling by Oh my god. Well, now 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.680 you're entering the whole new stage, which is terrifying. I know. 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.320 I remember being so excited for my son to crawl 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.360 because it was like progress, you know, something new, and 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.360 then entering the new stage, which was horrifying, which is 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.560 suddenly everything on the ground is something they can put 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.840 in their mouths and something that's going to kill them. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.320 And I was like constantly aware of, like that little toy, 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:08.920 we gotta clean that up, we gotta pick that up, 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.400 or they're gonna put that in their mouth. It's babies 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.400 always have the first thing to do is want to 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.359 eat it. Yes, if it's a door knob survival man, 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.720 they gotta keep you every week. You are all just 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:25.520 selling this parenthood thing. I can't wait to start. This 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:31.240 sounds amazing. Wow, I do.

Just 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.160 seeing how everything moved was incredible. Um. And I was 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.800 also kind of jealous because y'all really had so much 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.840 fun with what y'all did too, So I was like, God, 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.680 this would be such a fun show to be part of. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.680 I mean, I didn't ever get the vibe that the 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:55.120 instinct guys weren't having fun. Well but no, wait, am 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.520 I remembering correctly that you guys came for a special 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.560 that that was where everybody first met and I actually 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.760 wasn't there. Right, we did that live t G I 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.800 F show thing.

I think Mary Kay and Ashley just premier 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.960 their show that night. Also, Uh it was Yeah, it 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.359 was a good time. But I was so nervous to 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.080 meet this one right here, Danielle, because you know I 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.040 have the biggest crush on her. Wait. I actually we've 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.120 we've been talking a lot about our our story because 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.760 um podcast exclusive.

For those who don't know, I dated Lance 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.120 for a year about a year um while I was 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:46.880 on Boy Meets World, and it was my senior year, 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.400 and Lance came with me to my high school prom, 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.520 my Calabasa's high school prom. He was my date. And 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.880 in the talking about this and us working on the 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.920 movie which Lauren Laptus and Mary Hollander writing It's he's 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.800 mentioned that he had a crush on me, which I did. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.760 I truthfully did not know going into meeting Lance. So 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.039 the way this t G I F thing was happening 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.200 is basically we were doing like a live night. The shows. 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.680 Of course we're already taped and those were those were 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.080 going to just be played on the air the way 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.680 they normally would, but in between the shows, they were 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.400 going live to this cool spot where they were we 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.440 were gonna someone was gonna be hosting it. That person 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.080 was kind of me, and they wanted to have a 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:32.160 popular band play. And I remember people from ABC coming 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.040 to me and saying, Okay, Danielle as one of the only, 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.360 you know, only girls on this show. Who do you 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.080 who would you love to see? And they kind of 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.720 presented me the option, would you like Backstreet Boys are 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.800 in Sync? And I was like, definitely get in sync? 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.360 And they did, and then I was so and then 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.680 so I was the reason they were like, all right, 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.320 we'll go after in sync. And then they asked in 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.360 Sync to do it, and Lance and Justin, Joey and 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.599 Chris and j C all showed up and it was 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.839 this like big buzzing night and and I got to 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.080 kind of host it and talk to them and interview 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.000 them and and we did these little interstitials in between 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.360 the shows. So that's the night we met. So did 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.280 you watch Boy Meets World, Lance, I've seen a few 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.200 episodes for sure, because again, I mean I had a 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:19.760 crush on you and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So Sarah 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:24.000 Michelle Galler, yes, you know what that you know what 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.360 I remember about that night of the T G I 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.520 F Live show. I remember you all coming out with 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.320 your band and you kept rehearsing the same song, and 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.839 by the third time, right before the song started, you 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:41.400 at all, right, here's the song again, Sorry this song started. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.479 Imagine how many times we've had to do that before 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.720 the Remember that night, I mean the only thing that 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.159 I was in my mind that night was to try 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.040 to get your number, Like I didn't know how I 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.440 was going to get go. I need to get her 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.599 numbers somehow. So yeah, well, and the way he got 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.120 my phone number that night, This whole, my whole meeting 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.120 with Lance was very much like it felt like the 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:07.800 It felt like a movie, which is part of the 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.400 reason why we're going to turn it into a movie. 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.120 But I remember all night talking to them, And again, 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.840 when you're a kid, you kind of get sectioned off 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.280 based on how old you are, you know, like you 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.600 gravitate to the people that are the same age as you. 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.560 And Lance and Justin were the two youngest, and I 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.320 was one of the youngest of all of the people 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.120 that were there, and so Lance and Justin and I 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.920 spent the most amount of time talking to each other. 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.320 And I remember thinking like, I wonder if you know 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.160 this is going well with Lance. I wonder if he's 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:38.560 going to try to get my number at the end 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.240 of this, or I wonder what's going to happen, like 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.840 having that that buzz that you get when you have 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.679 a crush on somebody new, and you're like, I wonder 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.480 what this is going to turn into. And you also 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.280 know time is limited because like when this is over, 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.280 they're getting on a bus and they're driving away, and 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:52.800 I have no idea if I'm ever going to see 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:57.040 these people again. And at the end of the night, uh, 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.000 you know, they're off they run off stage and they 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.800 have to run to go. It changed, and I remember 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.440 like I could technically leave, like I didn't have to 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.360 be there anymore. I could get in my car and go, 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.680 but I was like kind of waiting around to see 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.800 what would happen. When Lance came out from the back, 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.000 and I remember Lance and Justin everybody kind of coming 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.720 out and saying goodbye, and we hugged goodbye, and they 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.120 got all the way to the bus, and I watched 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.400 him walk onto the bus and I started to turn around. 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.240 The bus started to take off, and I started walking 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:29.840 to my car, and then all of a sudden, I 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.280 heard Danielle and I stopped and I turned around and 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.600 it was Justin. Justin comes running up to me and 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.440 he goes, Danielle, I need to get your number, and 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:43.520 I was like, what anyway, goes It's for Lance, And 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.720 I said, oh, yeah, okay, and I gave him my 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.560 phone number and he ran back onto the bus, and 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.760 sure enough, like a couple of days later, I had 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:57.000 a missed call and a voicemail from Lance and it 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.439 was Lance, but Justin also screaming in the background about 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:06.480 how nervous Lance was to be calling me to write 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:07.959 what I was going to say on your voice and 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:18.360 it was too cheesy. Now, wow, it was. It was 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:23.280 so it was great. I'd watch that movie. Yeah it was. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:25.880 It was really great. And then it started like a 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.160 whole year of us just talking on the phone and 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.960 Lance was always in some place new and and that 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.000 Christmas I went to Mississippi and spent time with his family, 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.160 and um, I got to meet Yeah, I got to 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.360 meet his entire family there. And then that following year 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.760 there were during our hiatus weeks I would I would 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.800 go on tour with them for a couple of days 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.400 at a time. I'd pop on the bus and traveled 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.880 with them a little bit. And then he went to 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.840 my high school prom with me, and then he broke 0:09:54.920 --> 0:10:01.520 up with me girlfriend, well, Danielle raw Chris's girlfriend at 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.240 the time. We moved in together. So I met Danielle, 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.640 who was dating Chris Kirkpatrick at the time, and we 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.160 right away kind of hit it off. I mean when 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.080 I first met her, I was like, she's a lot, 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.359 she's a big personality. And her name was also Danielle. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.760 And so I remember like meeting the rest of the 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.640 guys as now Lance's girlfriend and being a little intimidated, 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.160 and I remember Danielle being like, what, there's another Danielle. 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.120 I'm the only Danielle. And I remember just being like, 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.240 I just please, please don't run over me. Um. But 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.840 we very quickly bonded. And then when I moved out 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.320 of my parents house, like right after I turned eighteen, 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:43.680 I moved in with Danielle So, Um, I was living 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.840 with another in synct girlfriend and then that may or June, 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.080 Lance and I went to prom and then he broke 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.720 up with me, and I was devastated. And I still 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.240 had to live in a house with another girl who 0:10:55.280 --> 0:11:00.280 was still dating and it was all still just like 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.600 in my world. I had to know what they were 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.160 doing and what they were up to. There was no 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.960 escaping knowing what this. I mean. I really thought I 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.160 thought I was going to marry Lance. I had envisioned 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.560 our future and um, and then when he broke up 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.320 with me, I was like, I couldn't escape it, and 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.520 I kept I held on to hope for way too 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.040 long that Lance and I were going to get back 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:24.240 together and get married and have a family. And curiously, Lance, 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.360 why did you break up with her? She knows what 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:36.560 she did. It turns out I'm not Lances type like 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.880 other things. Um. Yeah, no, it's just it's so crazy 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.600 and the reason that we wanted to make this prom 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.720 story into a film, Um, I think so many people 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.120 can relate to that story where I think so many 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.199 people in the LGBT community their prom night was the 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.720 night that they're like, oh wait a minute, like this, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.920 this can't happen anymore, can do this anymore? And so 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.680 that was was the catalyst for me that that made 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:06.440 me start to accept myself, which took a long time 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.040 after that, but that was definitely the first little you know, 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:22.040 straw that broke. Yeah, so I want to go back 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:23.960 to when you would come to set to visit, because 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.520 you were actually only I think you were only able 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.920 to visit once or twice. But I remember, I remember 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.079 specifically one of the weeks you were able to come 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.319 to visit was the week we were filming Korean to 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:39.240 Penga's wedding, because I remember being around you in my 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.320 at least veil, if not the wedding dress, and thinking like, 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.559 I wonder what my wedding dress will look like when 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.840 Lance and I are getting married. Wow, it didn't creep 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:54.120 me out at all. No pressure from with me in 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.679 my wedding dress. Wow. I don't think you were. You 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.480 wouldn't wear the wedding dress in front of me, though, 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.400 that was bad luck exactly didn't want you to see 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.240 me exactly. No, I don't think I was. I wasn't 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.040 very I wasn't vocally expressing these things. These were just 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.440 things that were swirling around around in my teenage mind. 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.880 But I wasn't like I wasn't scaring him. I was 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.800 I was trying to play it. You didn't think you 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:23.480 were scaring him. I definitely scared him, that's for sure. 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.200 I remember another time you you visited it, you and 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.480 you and Justin visited and we had something to do 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.200 with the premature baby. Remember the whole storyline where they're 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:37.160 like it was so we on rehearsal days, we just 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.920 had this fake baby there, and of course, me being me, 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:41.680 I would pick it up and do different voices with it, 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.000 and like I stick cigarettes in its mouth like it was. 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.800 It was so disturbing, it was, And I remember at 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.000 one point you looked at me and you went, what 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:54.560 is wrong with you? Because it was just so really 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:55.920 It's like what I do is like what there's a 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.400 prop here and I'm playing with it. But it was 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.480 just like this look of this horrified look, like what 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.600 is your problem? Like what nothing? This is just me 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.880 Like yeah, that's right. It would have been around the 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.640 time that we were filming that that storyline too. Okay, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.440 here's the question I want to know, maybe other people 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.440 want to know to you guys did a guest appearance 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.200 all of you on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Right, Yes, 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.400 I get that. In zoo Land R I probably get 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:24.320 the most of my career. You did Sabrina. Why did 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.400 you do Sabrina and not Boy Meets World from I 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.920 don't know. Maybe they didn't want us to work together. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:35.240 I have no idea. Sabrina was the higher rated Showa, right, 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.240 was the hit show of t J I F at 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.360 the time. We were the also rans at that point. 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.840 It was also I bet you a network note because 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.960 we had so many boys on our show. Because they 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.040 tried to launch the girl band on our show. Do 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.840 you remember that, that's right? Right? So they that Nobody's 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:55.280 Angel was the name of the band or something something angel. Yeah, yeah, 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.080 something like that. Yet Nobody's Angel or not an angel 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.000 or something. But they where of course the episode is 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.800 Sean is in a random diet truck stop, and of 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.000 course there's a girl band. Um, so it was they tried. 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.400 I think it probably had something to do with that, 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:10.920 where it was like, let's there's a lot of boys 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.880 on Boy Me to World, Let's put the end sync 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.360 guys on the more female driven show and put the 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.640 girl band on the more boy driven show to see 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.400 which shows would want like the whole group to do something. 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.600 I think it was a Touch by an Angel. We 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.880 did that. We were homeless guys, but you know, a 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:35.800 homeless boy band really with Charlotte Church, I think she 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:40.120 was also homeless. Wow. Uh yeah, we did Clueless. I 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.040 don't know why we were on that show. And Sabrina 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.840 think it was her birthday. Yeah, yeah, I think Melissa 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.840 Joan Hart requested you guys. I think she and you're 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.040 right writer that they had a much more successful show. 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:51.800 And so if you were going to get booked on 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.160 a t g I F show, you want to go 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.840 on the one that everybody's watching. Oh I'm gonna find 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:02.120 that Touch by an Angel? Oh man? All right. So 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.800 so my story of you guys visiting the set, I 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.640 have this very clear memory. You guys came during an episode, 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:14.640 the one episode direct directed by Mickey Dolan's of the Monkeys, 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.960 and I remember us having a conversation. Uh. We were 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.360 sitting by the craft service and I was talking to 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.840 Justin and we were I was asking about you know, 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.120 what you guys were doing, and he said, yeah, well, 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.600 you know they've talked about us doing a TV show 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.040 as a band, but I don't. I don't think we're 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.280 gonna do it. I think that's not a good idea. 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.400 And Mickey Dolans was right behind him, eating a craft service, 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.440 and I remember Mickey Dolan's interrupting our conversation snacking on 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.880 something and going why not, why wouldn't you do that? 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.640 And I watched justin look back realized who it was. 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.800 I have to backpedal desperately. Well, you know, we're just 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.080 not really like acting is not really are were not 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.960 really that might because it was just trash talking. The 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.360 very idea of like a band being in a TV 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.639 show like that would just be stupid. It was one 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.600 of the and I remember him realizing it, me realizing it, 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.640 all of us just having to be like, don't, don't, don't, 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.440 don't insult Nicky, don't don't make him feel bad. Well, yes, 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.359 because for listeners who don't know the Monkeys had a 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.120 TV show, that's the kind of that was there, That's 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:23.960 how they started. Yeah, oh my gosh, that is so funny. 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.880 What are the odds that they would be there during 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.760 that week that because Mickey Dolan's only directed that one episode. Yeah, 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:30.240 he was in a bunch of episodes, but was when 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.080 he was directing, and it was the with the b 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:39.520 It was one of the worst episodes. Yeah, yeah, everyone 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.800 was h you all have a favorite episode you'll done 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.560 together that you'll always talk like, oh my gosh, that 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.320 was like the best episode we ever did. Well. We 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.359 always mentioned the Scream episode because it was the first 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.080 time really all of us got to be in in 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.160 a lot of scenes together. Because there was Will has 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.840 mentioned many times, there's all ways that there's like the 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.320 two boy meets Worlds. There was like the storyline that 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.679 was Eric heavy and and his whole storyline, and then 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.240 there was like Corey Shawn and Tupanga and Angela and 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.840 in a separate storyline, and so we very rarely all 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:15.360 got to work together. And that Scream episode was one 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.159 of the most fun for us because it was just 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.879 fun behind the scenes. And then individually, we all have 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:24.119 favorite episodes because they mean something to us personally. But 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.520 I think as we go along, we're going to be 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.000 surprised by how many more memories come up and other 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:34.719 like new favorite episodes. This episode where nobody's angels, uh, 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:40.840 I remember they were, It's just it was one of 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.919 those such those storylines where it's like, of course you 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.120 encounter a girl band in a stage at this time. 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.840 One of the one of the truckers in the truck 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.240 stop was played by Um, an actor named Mickey. What 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:57.880 was his Mickey Mickey. Uh, he's great Mickey. Um. He's 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:00.920 a musician and an actor. And he was great musician. 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.760 He was a drummer for Bob Dylan for the tour 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.840 that Dylan went Electric, And so I remember not only 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:10.080 hanging out with the Nobody's Angels girls, but also hanging 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.200 out with him and just seeking out about rock music. 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.520 And he had so many good stories because he had 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.280 been sober throughout the entire sixties and seventies when he 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.439 played with all these legendary bands. But yeah, he was 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.640 in the original like the band what became the band. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.359 He was Mickey Jones. Mickey Jones. He's a great character actor. 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.480 But yeah, everyone will know him immediately if you look 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.440 him up. But yeah, so he passed. I'm sorry to 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:35.399 tell you he passed away in at seventy six. He 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.560 was in the Tin Cup with UM, with Kevin Costner 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.040 and Uh, he was a great guy and a very 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:45.400 good musician. Um Yeah, that's that's well, not to bring 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:49.480 down the whole room. There we go the pandemics. That's positive. 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.679 Say you're always looking for the positive side of stuff. Lance, 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:58.119 I love that. Um so Lance, can we talked a 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:01.000 little bit about I found this picture that I just 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.080 I didn't know if writer or Will had ever seen 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.320 one of our prom pictures. But this is our from 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:11.440 one of our prom pictures that my mom took. Its perfect, 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.800 and so yeah, we'll post that picture on our No, 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.679 you are actually touching me. I can't believe it. The 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:21.720 one that the one that everyone knows. He's got his 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.479 hand just hovering over my back. He's not actually touching me. 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:29.439 It's really great. Yeah, he's like he's like he's as 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:32.880 close to me as he can get without actually room. 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:42.639 For Jesus, um was how many did you go to 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:44.639 many school dances? Like? Did you get to go to 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:46.800 any of your own school dances or did in sync 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.080 kind of make that impossible? Yeah? I mean I went 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.880 to dances, you know, like junior high and I think 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:55.160 my freshman and sophomore years of high school, I got 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.000 to go to homecoming, but I never got to go 0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.920 to my prom, which would have been so much fun, 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:01.399 so that I was so excited to go to your 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.320 problem because that was that was basically my problem too, 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.080 or I didn't know anyone, but yeah it was, you 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:10.520 know it was you guys must have been rock stars 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:12.960 at that problem. Was it a big deal where people 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.919 like freaking out and taking photos and asking for autographs 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:18.480 or what was it? Like? It was kind of like that. 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:21.320 And I'll actually let Lance answer it from his experience, 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:25.160 because I remember actually being like I was mortified because 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:28.440 I should have thought through it better that like bringing 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.000 him high school. Yeah, it was my high school, and 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:33.439 I was no big deal at my high school. Like 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:36.159 it was just not everyone has everyone. We were all 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.080 the same students that I went to junior high school 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:39.920 with and now I was all the same kids in 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:42.600 high school, and like, so they were with me through 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:44.720 all six seven years of boy Meat's world. It wasn't 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:46.480
