1
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to Pod meets World. We are doing a very

2
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: special episode of Questions and Answers because you guys have

3
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: been so thoughtful and sending us in your questions to

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: Pod meets World show at gmail dot com. And so

5
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: let's jump into it. Is So, who came up with

6
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: the name to Panga? Great question and is a mystery

7
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: of the show as far as who I asked, Well,

8
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: but the correct answer is, uh, it's this name of

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: a canyon and a street right inspired by Yeah. But

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: the idea is that that used to be like a

11
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: big hippie new age hangout. It still is kind of right,

12
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: So it's like a very sort of backwoodsy part of

13
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: of of l A. So it made sense, you know.

14
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: But Yeah. Michael Jacobs tells one story, which is that

15
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: he did it while driving Yeah, that someone from someone

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: called him to say, we need a name for this character.

17
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: And he happened to be on the one oh one

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: freeway at the Topanga Canyon exit, and he looked up

19
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: and he said, to Panga, I called I called on that.

20
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: There's no way the convenience of the road and the road.

21
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: You know. It's just a good story. It's a funny story.

22
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: If his his his joke, he always says. And if

23
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: they had called five minutes earlier, her name would have

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: been white Oak. Oh, I heard, I heard if they

25
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: had called, I've heard if they had called two minutes,

26
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: two minutes earlier, she would have been to Soto. Okay,

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: So he's which are the row all the we just

28
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: named all the exits in a row people exactly. But

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: this is a comedy writer, so that I've heard Jeff Sherman,

30
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: I've heard Michael Jacobs, I've heard now Bill Lawrence, Bill

31
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence because to Panga Lawrence. So Bill Lawrence told me

32
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: that his Panga's last name was Lawrence because of him. Yeah,

33
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: and yet I quite work out as far as when

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: he did write an episode of our of Our of

35
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: our first season, but um, it seems like Tanga was

36
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: already introduced by the time his script made an end. Yeah,

37
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: we talked about that her last name might not have

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: been introduced Lawrence in my episode. That's right. Yeah, So

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: that is so so we don't know, it really is. Honestly,

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: it's a mystery. It's it's um of my goals for

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: the podcast. If I had to pick five of them

42
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: on that list, would be to find out who named

43
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: to Panga wants and like get the get the story.

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: I would love to know because I've never never fully known. Um.

45
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: I thought this was a really funny question. Did you

46
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: guys have strict bedtimes when you were a kid? Filming

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: a TV show? That's so interesting. I've thought about this

48
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: actually a lot, because I have I have a pretty

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: consistent bedtime with my kid, Like we're not super strict,

50
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: so if like friends are over going late, we go late.

51
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: But I've ever since he was born my wife, and

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm just like he goes to bed at this time,

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: he takes a nap at this time, and we tried

54
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: to be this regular responsib and I realized like my

55
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 1: parents had no bedtimes my entire childhood. I would live

56
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: and I do remember falling to sleep everywhere, like I

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: would just fall asleep in my shoes on there and

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: so exhausting. As a parent, I can't believe they did that, Like, well,

59
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: we just go and go and go until we pass out.

60
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: And I've never had a problem sleeping, so I guess

61
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: it was fine for me, like mental health wise or

62
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: sleep scheduling wise, but as a parent, like I cherished

63
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: the time my son goes to bed and my wife

64
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: and I can like have a drink or watch a

65
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: movie or just talk without a child there. It's like

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: so essential to have, even if it's a half an

67
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: hour of like grown up time. So I can't believe

68
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: my parents and never did that. So yeah, I never

69
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: had bed times my entire childhood. Well, I know you

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: were a little older and living with like a legal

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: guardian in l A. So you didn't I'm assuming you

72
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: did not have a bed time. I did not. I

73
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: had a bed time growing up the entire time, and

74
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: it was an early bedtime, to the point where literally

75
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: back East, I would be lying in my bed trying

76
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: to sleep while it was still light out and I

77
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: could hear the kids playing in the street. Thank you dad,

78
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: What time was it, Oh, it was probably like seven thirty. Yeah,

79
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: sound like He's always like, Dad, it's still light And

80
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, because it's June, yeah exactly, but your kid,

81
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: that's always window. You'd hear out your window. They're like,

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: this is the most fun I've ever had in my life.

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: So it's like stuff. But no, by the time we

84
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: started the show, I was I was essentially living on

85
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: my own yeah, yeah, I don't think I had a

86
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: strict bedtime, but it did, like I did have a

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: thing where it was like, okay, it's time for bed,

88
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Now you have to go up to your room. I

89
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: don't think they monitored whether or not I was like

90
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: listening to music or you know, I had headphones like

91
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I don't think they were like make sure

92
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: you're asleep. Also, it really depended on what was going

93
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: on that week, because as you guys have heard, for

94
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: the first season, for at least several of the episode,

95
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: my mom was braiding my hair, um, and I was

96
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: not able to go to sleep until like eleven o'clock

97
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: because I had I had hair braiding to have done. Um.

98
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: And then obviously there were times too where in those

99
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: in that first season where I was still terrified of

100
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: losing my job and so I was like rehearsing my

101
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: lines and I still had homework, you know, like we

102
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: get three hours of school per day on the set,

103
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: but that didn't mean that I still didn't come home

104
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: with schoolwork to do. And because I did go back

105
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: to my regular school on our hiatus weeks, and as

106
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: we've discussed, our schedules started on a Friday, which means

107
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: when we had a hiatus week, it started on a Friday,

108
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: and I would go back to Calabasas High School on Friday,

109
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: which meant to the day I had to be caught

110
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: up with all of my classes. If it was a test,

111
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: I had to take that test. If it was like

112
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: homework was turned in, I had to turn in that homework.

113
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: So I don't remember there being like a strict bed time,

114
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: but there was definitely like you need to go to

115
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: your room now to go to bed, and then closed

116
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: the door. Calm down. Yeah, time to calm down and

117
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: also give my parents exactly what you're talking about right now.

118
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: As a parent, I am so um not strict. I'm

119
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: flexible with the schedule. Like you said, if people are over,

120
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: Adler goes to bed a little bit later. Um. If

121
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, if we have something going on that day,

122
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: that's big, Adler won't take a nap that day like

123
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: and he thankfully is flexible and can adjust with that.

124
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: But I live for that moment that it's seven thirty

125
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: and I think now is the time where I can

126
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: put you in your room and unlike you guys, with

127
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: the you can still hear kids playing outside and it's

128
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: light outside. My kids sleep in pitch black windows blacked out,

129
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: and very loud white noise. They can't hear anything and

130
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: they can't see anything. It's it's two o'clock in the

131
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: morning if you're in my kid's room, no matter what.

132
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: So and now I sleep with a bunch of white

133
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: noise too, because now I've gotten used to it. Um

134
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 1: all day. Every day. You guys are asking us where

135
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: can we see video of the podcast? And we have

136

146
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: I loved this question too. Why in the world were

147
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: the monkeys on the show? I think the proper answer

148
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: is why not? Yeah, yeah, Jeff Sherman was friends with

149
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: Jeff Jeff Sherman, who was one of our writer producers.

150
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: His I think is one of his closest longest, closest

151
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: friends is Mickey Dolan's, who was obviously one of the

152
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: members of the Monkeys. So when you're when you're in

153
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: with one monkey, you're in with all the monkeys, as

154
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: they say, and uh, they were all on except for

155
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: Mike Nesmis, who then came to if I if I

156
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: understood the story, um, the episode where so they came

157
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: on first sporadically where I think in the first season,

158
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: Rusty's old band comes back and um, Peter Tork comes

159
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: on for the first time ever. Um, And he was

160
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: the first. Peter was Peter Tork was my dad, but

161
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: he started as a guest cast on. Boy he did

162
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: not start did he start his Jedediah? Was he always

163
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: your dad? I well know I had three dads, but

164
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: but I think he was the first. I don't and

165
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he was the He was on first

166
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: as part of the band and then also my dad. Okay,

167
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: so I'm pretty sure. So so somebody has to check

168
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: this out. I could be wrongs. Again, we haven't seen

169
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: this firm. Are you talking about when they played Chubbies. No, no, no,

170
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: that's when all the monkeys came on, who never might

171
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: do anything. Smith never came on, but he showed up

172
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: to the taping and then wanted to be put in

173
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: and Michael was like, well, we can't now put you in,

174
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: like we're literally taping. Where did you hear that story?

175
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: Do you remember him being there? Oh? Yeah, Oh no,

176
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: I know he was there. I spoke with him. I

177
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: actually actually talked to him. Yeah, you know, he was

178
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: there with a big bushy beard and a hat. Um

179
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: and apparently asked too. He's like, he saw everybody there.

180
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, so I'll go I guess I'll

181
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: go on. And Michael's like, well, now we can't can't

182
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: do that. Um. So no, he was there. No. We

183
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: did an episode where Rusty was in a band and

184
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: his old band was getting back together and it was, um,

185
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't remember the man's name, the guitarist from Cheap Trick.

186
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, was one of them? Um, I want to

187
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: say one of the monkeys was? I thought Peter Tork

188
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: was in the band. Um, I have no recollection to this.

189
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: So and and so it's like Rusty picks up his guitar.

190
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: Get because one of the reasons I remember Nielsen is

191
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: that okay, so the tag is then Rusty hands Eric

192
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: the guitar and says, here, what can you do with this?

193
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: And they plays amazing that. Yeah, so that was that that.

194
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: I want to say, Peter Tork so what it was

195
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: because he comes on. He came on a couple of times,

196
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: but maybe he was always Jedediah, but I thought he

197
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: jammed with Rusty's band or something like that. I thought

198
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: that was the first time. We'll know when we get

199
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: to it, and I don't because I don't remember that,

200
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 1: but I guess the real the short answer to the

201
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: question is Jeff Sherman, one of our writers and producers,

202
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: was very close with Mickey Dolan, and then Mickey came

203
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: on and directed an episode which wasn't that first episode

204
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: that they were on until seasons like season seven. Yes, really,

205
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: the one with the I'll never forget that, the one

206
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: with the B the brain and the jar and a B.

207
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I wasn't there. I must season the episode.

208
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: Think for a number of reasons, we've blocked that episode out. Well,

209
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that four years from now, four years

210
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: from now, when we get there. Okay, Um, there were

211
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 1: a lot of wrestlers on Boy Meats World. What was

212
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: the connection there? And I can safely say that was

213
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Mark Bluman? Is that what it was? Was Mark? Ye?

214
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: As far as I understand he did. He when he

215
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: started to stand up in Canada, one of his main

216
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: bits was to be a wrestler character like he would

217
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: have he create. Right, isn't that a Daniel? Yeah? And

218
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: so because he became sort of popular within comedy circles

219
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: as a like wrestler comedian and he also character very

220
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: into wrestling. He liked it, he knew a lot about it,

221
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: he followed it. He's been a wrestling fan for most

222
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: of his life. I did not know that that was

223
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: the connection of wrestling. Interesting. We had some awesome, incredibly

224
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: nice men on the show that were wrestlers, I mean

225
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: Vader and Nick Foley. I still see Mick Um and

226
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: he still comes over and throws his arm around me

227
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: and puts me in a headlock every time I see him. Um,

228
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: just the nicest people. Invader rest in Peace was just

229
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: so sweet and so easy to work with. And yeah,

230
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: great men. Uh So someone wanted to know if it

231
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: was true that Danielle and Ben would eat smelly things

232
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: in the later seasons as a prank for each other

233
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: when they had to kiss. Is that true? I wouldn't

234
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: necessarily call it a prank. I would say that Ben

235
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: would regularly eat locks, he locks and onions. I remember

236
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: that from having to work with him to not enough

237
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: to kiss. And I would say, do we need to

238
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: do that on the days when we have to kiss?

239
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: Is it possible that maybe there's just sometimes we could

240
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: skip that breakfast? And he thought the answer is no.

241
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: And so I don't know that I would call it

242
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: a prank. Uh. I think it's just you know, at

243
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: that point we buy seven seasons in, we were very

244
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: very comfortable with each other as far as you know,

245
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: kissing and what our jobs were as far as that

246
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: was concerned, And it was never a big deal. It

247
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: wasn't like I ever was actually upset about it or anything.

248
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: It was more just like a real married situation where

249
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: you kind of go, did you have to eat the long? Um?

250
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: So that that was that, And I mean I don't

251
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: remember it that I had any I think I was

252
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: perfect and um so, I don't think I did. I

253
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: don't think I did, but you know, um, you know,

254
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: I wish Ben were here to correct me. But I

255
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I did, And I don't remember bred.

256
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going on record saying I never did it.

257
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: Maybe I did, but I really just remember I remember

258
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: the locks personally. Um. Were there any off screen romances

259
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: or crushes? I'll go first, I had a crush on Writer.

260
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: That's not it is too true. I did. That's not true.

261
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: You've never told me that I had. I had a

262
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: crush on You saved that for thirty years. I was

263
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: your first. Wow, so G T T and me, you

264
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: really had the teen magazine thing covered all the way

265
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: through the nineties. I really did. I really did. Yeah

266
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: I did, Daniel. I think it started in maybe later

267
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: in season one and definitely through season two. Um, and

268
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: yeah I did. I had a crush on Writer and

269
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. He was so mart and he was

270
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: you know. One of my favorite things about Writer and

271
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: it still stands to this day. Writer is very effusive,

272
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: like he will tell you how he feels, and he's

273
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: very free with his compliments, but he doesn't he doesn't

274
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: throw them out willy nilly. When Writer compliments you it

275
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: is thoughtful, it has meaning, and you can tell he's

276
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: like he's it's it's coming from a very real place.

277
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: And when Writer and I really connected, like I think

278
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: when I first started Boy Meets World, Writer was probably

279
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: annoyed by me. I think I was like a stereotypical

280
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: l A girl to him talking about a hat. Yeah,

281
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: he hated l A. I would have assumed you were

282
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: like a valley girl, even though I guess you did

283
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: live in the valley at that I did, I lived

284
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: in the valley. I hadn't grown up in the valley,

285
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: but I did live there at that time, and I

286
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: do think you probably were like a little like I

287
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: rollie about me. But then it's okay. Sorry, I took

288
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: you thirty years to apologize for that. Writer, Sorry, um,

289
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: But then we did. We we actually I ended up

290
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: forming a very nice, um deep friendship and we had

291
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: very like meaningful conversations about whatever was going on in

292
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: our lives. And I just remember like Writer and I

293
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: were in an acting class together for a while, and

294
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: I remember getting like a real, very real compliment from

295
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Writer like you, my friend, are doing really incredible work,

296
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: and then feeling like, oh, my God, I love you,

297
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: and I think I told you. I found a diary

298
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: that I wrote for like three months of us being

299
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: on boy Meat's World. Will also found a diary, and

300
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: I found my diary and I was reading it and

301
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: it was so embarrassing because I would end the diary

302
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: with like, ps, I love and then there's like four

303
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: people I loved and writer writer was one of them.

304
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, so I did have an on

305
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: I did have heard it here first, this writer, because

306
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: I heard the story. Didn't you and Ben like try

307
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: and go on a date at one point? Or the

308
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: story I've always heard, Well, yes, and it was, but

309
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: that story got misconstrued at me. It was like we

310
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: went on like a real date. It was really, truthfully,

311
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: there was a moment where at some point, I think

312
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: it was probably season three or four. I think we

313
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: could drive at the time, so we must have been

314
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: one of us must have been sixteen, but maybe even not,

315
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: because I don't remember being in the car together. I

316
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: just remember that we like looked at each other after

317
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: all these weeks of playing boyfriend and girlfriend and all

318
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: the kissing and just kind of like, I don't eve

319
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: remember how the conversation happened, but it was like, should

320
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: we just go to dinner one night, Like, let's just

321
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: go to dinner just the two of us, which we

322
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: had not really ever done, and so we did. We

323
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: went to dinner, and it was very quickly into the

324
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: restaurant meal that we realized, like, this is a hard

325
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: boundary to jump, Like I've known you for now a

326
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: long time. I feel like we're just being our jokey,

327
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: friendly selves, but now in a restaurant where there's like

328
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: this pressure of like do I like you? And so

329
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: it was very obvious that know what we had was

330
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: just this very fun, non romantic um something I would

331
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: consider more than a friendship, something shared history with someone

332
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: that's more than friendship, but not at all romantic, and

333
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: that it was going to be an undefinable type of

334
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: relationship where I've kissed this person more times than maybe

335
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: I've kissed anyone else, or I will ever kiss anyone else,

336
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: and yet we are never going to turn it into

337
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: something romantic. It's just going to be a deep, a

338
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: deep respect and friendship that that will be unexplainable to

339
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: most people. M Hm, I never had a crush. I mean,

340
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: you guys are all so much younger than me. I

341
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: mean I was usually dating somebody. I mean, of the

342
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: did dating Nikki Cox from but yeah, but I mean

343
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: like I of like regular cast. There was no like

344
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: romance behind the scenes or any of that kind of

345
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: stuff for me. I mean again, I dated Nikki, I

346
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: dated Genovoia Vonoy for a little while, and then I

347
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: was with love for two years. I was with my

348
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: girlfriend in Canada for two years. So I was like,

349
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: I was with people for a while of the show

350
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 1: and yeah, it just wasn't no again, I was. I

351
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: was in a very I had a very different point

352
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: point me to world experience, and it like I love

353
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: hearing you guys talking about like riding in the car

354
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: together and when you guys, I mean I never did

355
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: that with any of you because I was, like, I

356
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: was older. So it was I was, I was right

357
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: in the middle. I was too young to hang out

358
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: with Betsy and Rusty and their friends and too old

359
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: to kind of hang out with you guys. So I

360
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: was kind of lost a little bit in the in

361
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: the center there. Um, but I always you know, he

362
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: had a girlfriend and I had a very small group

363
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: of friends and would usually hang out with them, So yeah,

364
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: there was never kind of any romance stuff for me.

365
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: I was always in a relationship. I started the show

366
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: with a girlfriend that I talked about on this on

367
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: this podcast, UM, and I was always miserable. I was

368
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: always because I was always missing her and I was

369
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: like just so full of self loathing and angst and God,

370
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: I just look back, I'm like, cheer up because we

371
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: were together, I know, I guess. So yeah, So I

372
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: I had a girl from my hometown. You know that

373
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: I had met in third grade that I was in

374
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: love with um all the way and we were together

375
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: from like thirteen till sixteen, I think. And then Um,

376
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: I dated Rachel who I met on the set of

377
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,639

Speaker 1: Leie Cook Um, and we dated. You met her a

379
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: year and a half. You met her because David Colms

00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: had been her studio teacher on Tom and Hawk with

381

391
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: right when you said you did an episode with her,

392
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: I remember exactly her dialogue from the episode. She's like

00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: a bouncer or something that I know she's for. End,

394

00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: spit water? Oh my god, I have no idea what

401
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: that means, what context it's in. But I distinquished. Remember

402
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,119

415
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: don't know what season that was, maybe season six. You

416
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: guys kept them pretty quiet though we did not want people.

417
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: We did not want it to be a big deal

418
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: on set. Yeah, we didn't want to be. I went

Speaker 1: Yeah that's a good man. He's a good kid. Um.

421
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: Did you guys get into arguments like siblings because you

422
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: were basically playing a family. Sure, and not only that,

423
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: but we were also a family that didn't shy away

424
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: from political debates, So there were lots of feated political debates,

425
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: room religious debates even on our show, like Howtward And

426
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: you know, I always felt positive about it. I'm not

427
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: sure if everybody feels as positive about it, but like

428
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: I remember enjoying that. I remember enjoying the tough like that.

429
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: You know, um, I think I needed my I needed

430
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: to be tough, and like my skin needed to be

431
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: tough in a little bit. And I remember will you

432
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: really like sort of teaching because I grew up in

433
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: a family where we never insulted each other, Like it's

434
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: the most earnest family in the world. My mom to

435
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: this day does not, like cannot do a sarcastic boys,

436
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: and she doesn't read sarcasm. It's like it's just she's

437
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: so earnest, and you know, like we never said shut

438
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: up or any of any of those sort of you know.

439
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: But the idea that you would like jab each other

440
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: or like make fun of each other or tease each

441
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: other with something I did not get introduced to until

442
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: Boy Beat the World. And I remember you explaining that

443
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: to me, like it's okay, Like it's okay that you

444
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: can tease each other and make fun of each other.

445
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: And it doesn't it shouldn't destroy you, you know, it

446
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: should you should be able to bounce back from that

447
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: and tease back, and that can be a form of affection.

448
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: And that I really learned that on the set of

449
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: Boy But Yeah, but then we also would get really

450
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: into some intense debates. We still do, Will and I

451
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: especially still do. I've been at many a dinner with

452
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: Will and writer debates and I'm like eyes, guys, I

453
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: really I see both sides here, I and what I think.

454
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: Will is trying to say, well, writer, or what I think,

455
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: and I end up playing that role where I try

456
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: to explain what I think. The other one is trying

457
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: to say I love it though, because I think and

458
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't think. I'm I mean. Intelligence is certainly one thing,

459
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: and that's you know, you can debate however you want to.

460
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: But Roddy, you're certainly far more educated than I am.

461
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: So every time that I debate you or we have

462
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: kind of a conversation like that, I always feel like

463
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: I have to step up to try to get to

464
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: your level. So it makes me here's what here here,

465
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: you know what We've We've actually pinpointed this difference relatively recently.

466
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: I absorb news only by reading. I do not watch

467
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: news I do, whereas you get your news by watching

468
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: mostly right like and so we were able to pinpoint

469
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: We're able to pinpoint that difference is like, you know,

470
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: because I I have this experience where I'll I've been

471
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: reading about a political figure, for instance, for years, I've

472
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: never seen their pictures, so I don't even know what

473
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: they look like. Because I believe in the news as

474
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: purely text based, whereas you, you know, watched news channels,

475
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: and so that alone creates a different type of education.

476
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, even if we're talking about the same subject,

477
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna have completely different interpretations of it based on

478
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: our source material. And I just stopped, you know, I

479
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: tried to watch everything I would try, you know, people

480
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: were like you watch Fox News, Like yeah, I watch

481
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: Fox and m s nt me see and and seeing

482
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: it like I want to get every possible. And then

483
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: after a while I went, now I don't want to

484
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: watch anything. And it's been a good year or two

485
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: where it's like I just don't. I don't turn the

486
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: news on. I just can't. I can't do it anymore.

487
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: I needed a break. And Writer also like the difference too,

488
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: is like Writer really believes in acting locally. You're involved

489
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: in like your school board, and you you get very involved,

490
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: and um, I've always respected that about you, that you're like, no,

491
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: I can't affect change. One person can affect change. And

492
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 1: if it's one person, and then you get your neighbor

493
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: and um, you know the people around you, you can.

494
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: Really making a difference on a local level is sometimes

495
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: way more were important than trying to do it on

496
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: like a global level. Um. So yeah, I did appreciate

497
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: that about our sets, even though I probably didn't jump in.

498
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: I didn't grow up in a family that talked about

499
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: politics a whole lot or um, you know, certainly not openly.

500
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: My parents may have, but they didn't. We didn't talk

501
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: about it with us as kids, and so I was

502
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: more like reserved and probably thinking like my opinion doesn't

503
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: mean anything, and I don't necessarily know what my opinion is,

504
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: so I'm just going to stay quiet. Um. But yeah,

505
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: I do remember those discussions, especially remember religious discussions, religion,

506
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: religious discussion because we we had some religious people on

507
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: our set and ran everything in between. Yeah, ran the

508
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: whole the whole spectrum of spiritual but not religious to

509
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: atheist and everything in between and very religious. Yeah, religious,

510
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: different types of religions, Christianity. It was like, you know,

511
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: we're we represented everything and we all, all of us

512
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: were opinionated, and we all liked each other, so we

513
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: all talk you know, would talk about it, and of

514
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: course that always let me. Everybody listening to this podcast

515
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: has been around the dinner table and genuinely loving people

516
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: and still in that moment you hate them and you

517
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: argue with them and you do this. I mean, that's

518
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: how we were. We that's what we were like. Both

519
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: my parents are lawyers, so we had to learn how

520
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: to argue growing up. We just did um And again,

521
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: there's times on the set, like you talked about the teasing,

522
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: there's times where that got us into trouble. You know,

523
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: there's times where you would tease somebody who didn't know

524
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: you were teasing them, and feelings get hurt. And we

525
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: talked about that and we got you know, there's you know,

526
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: it's certainly toughened up. I certainly got toughened up a

527
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: lot by a lot of your arguments. I mean, we've

528
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: talked about this and I'm not going to get into

529
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: any specifics certainly, but there's two major um uh political

530
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: ideologies in my life. Yeah, that to two issues that

531
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: writer completely changed my mind on, and I mean completely

532
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: changed my mind on. From one side of the argument,

533
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: literally to the other side of the argument. And it's

534
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: because he made a better argument. You know. We we

535
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: sat there, we talked it out, we yelled it out,

536
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: we did everything, and at the end of the day,

537
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: I had to look at myself and go, no, he's right,

538
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: Like he changed my mind. And that's uh. I think

539
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: that's important too. When you're open to you're just yelling

540
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: at each other, it doesn't matter. But if you're open

541
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: to actual change, then it is a discussion. And I

542
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: always look back at that, like, No, those two things

543
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: he completely changed my mind on. So interesting. I want

544
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,239
Speaker 1: to I think I know what those two things are.

545
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: But I um, okay, what nineties shows did were we watching?

546
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: Were you guys watching any other nineties shows at the

547
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: time while we were on a ninety show? Oh I was.

548
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: I got one right off the bat that was addicted to,

549
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: especially with my roommate Spencer at the time. We would

550
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: get Taco Bell and we would watch melrose Place like

551
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: addictively at the time, so he would get occasionally get

552
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: an episode early or and we would just oh man,

553
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: Taco Bell and and melrose Place and just sitting there

554
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: like these people. Oh, it was great. It was awesome.

555
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: I watched X Files with my family. It was it

556
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: was appointment TV for my family to watch X Files,

557
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: and then I did watch, at least for those first

558
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: couple of seasons. I did watch the t g i

559
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: F block, like Family Matters would started at eight pm,

560
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: and then Boy's World came on at eight thirties. Sabrina

561
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: was on after US, and then I don't remember what

562
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: ended the block, but I would watch the block Hanging

563
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: with Mr Cooper maybe at nine thirty could have Hanging

564
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: with Mr Cooper was after US. I feel like I

565
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: never watched any of the other t g F shows.

566
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: I watched our show from eight thirty to nine once

567
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: a week, and like that was it. I also watched

568
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: Seinfeld to Support, not until later, I know, terrible Support.

569
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: You didn't watch Seinfeld and when it was on, you

570
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: watched it later? Now I watched it later. I found

571
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: it later. My wife was addicted to it and really

572
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: got me. Yeah. I didn't discover Seinfeld or Friends until

573
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: in the early auts. I remember I was in. I

574
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: was in, you know. I didn't watch television, so for me,

575
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: it was always movies and I didn't really get into

576
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: television until Netflix wasn't around, because then I could get

577
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: the DVDs because then I would watch because I never

578
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: even had when they're mailed to your house, that's right, Yes,

579
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: that's when I That's when I caught up on like

580
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: a lot of shows like Friends, UM. But and then

581
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: I also watched UM Sopranos of course, and like that's

582
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: when it was all DVD related. I never watched anything

583
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: on television. Okay, here's a good one. Was anyone ever

584
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: injured on set? I was? I was to wait, were

585
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: you ever injured? You mean, like, I know we can

586
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: talk about my ingrown tone l and being on a scene,

587
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: but that wasn't an injured because of the show. That

588
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: was just righter on Viking Awesome. No, I'm trying, I think.

589
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: I mean, all I can remember is Ben when the

590
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: roller coaster? Were you not? Were you not there for coaster?

591
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: And the famous seat? I think it was in the

592
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: opening credits on the second season, so people might remember

593
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: there's an episode where Ben is riding a roller coaster

594
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: and which just goes down if it ends, and like

595
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: it just goes down. But whatever the way they had

596
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: designed it, it had a thing right in front of

597
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: his crotch, So when it stopped, he went right into

598
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: it and it was rehearsal to the hospital like that.

599
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: It was terrifying. I mean, it was probably the most

600
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: painful experience you've ever experienced. It. Yeah, oh my god.

601
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: And I was there for he was genuinely and it

602
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: was like it was during run through, so everybody like

603
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: the whole what it was. So we had rehearsed, rehearsed

604
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: getting in and out of the roller coaster, because you

605
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: remember if the episode, if I remember the episode correctly,

606
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: like Corey and I forget. I think Corey and Poenie

607
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: get Eric and Turner to ride this roller coaster and

608
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: they keep getting really sick, and then we do something

609
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: to to turn the tides and it turns out being

610
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: Phoenie and and Corey and he's in the front. And

611
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: so we'd rehearsed and rehearsed and rehearsed, and then for

612
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: run through, it just goes down this little ramp like

613
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: at the end, like this tiny little ramp like you're

614
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: ending roller coaster ride, and they hadn't had the seatbelt secure,

615
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: so it was just Ben kind of holding on and

616
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: the centrifugal force obviously threw him forward into this this

617
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: board that was right between his legs um, and I

618
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: can still see him writhing in pain. I mean it

619
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: was like he was hurt. Uh, And they took him

620
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: off to the hospital and and everything else. That was.

621
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: That's the only Andrew I remember, and obviously wasn't even me,

622
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: so I don't think I ever got hurt. When did

623
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: you get hurt? Guys? Mine was was very silly. But

624
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: remember the Subway episode where it was like a New

625
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: Year's Eve race track. There was a piece of metal

626
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: that was very sharp and was sticking out along one

627
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: of them one of the seats, like from under the seat.

628
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: And during a run through, I walked alongside the seat

629
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: to get to my next blocking and it completely slit

630
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: open my shin um. And of course it was during

631
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: a run through, so I was like, don't do any

632
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: thing now, just suck it up. And then the minute

633
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: the scene was over, I looked down and I just

634
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 1: had blood pouring down my leg. You kept going, I did.

635
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: I kept going. I didn't say anything to anybody. I

636
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: was like, nope, I'm not going to even Nick, didn't

637
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: even WinCE. Was just like keep moving. And then I

638
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: worked out and I was like, oh, I'm bleeding. Uh,

639
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: And so that was it that it's a very minor injury.

640
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: It was. I didn't need stitches or anything. I do

641
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: think they made me get a technics shot because I

642
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: wasn't sure when my I think it was like Rusty Metal.

643
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't even I think I had to get a test.

644
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: Was built for a movie. We just dragged it out,

645
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: throw it up there. What about you will? I Mine

646
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: was not on the set. It was Actually it was

647
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: such a strange story. Were was when we were playing

648
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: basketball and I fell down playing basketball and I did

649
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: something to my thumb and I thought maybe I'd either

650
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: dislocated it or broken hit. But I was fine. I

651
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: just taped it up and moved on. But I told

652
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: our teacher, David Combs. And when you then tell your teacher,

653
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: you kind of trigger the next things that happened on

654
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: a set. And by that point that with we hadn't

655
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: told anybody because he wasn't allowed to do this. But

656
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: Spencer had to leave for the weekend to go on

657
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: a business trip, and so he was at l a

658
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: X ready to get on the plane, and David Combs

659
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: called me and said, I have to take you. I

660
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: called Osha or whatever, and I have we have you

661
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 1: and your guardian have to go to the hospital. And

662
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: I had to tell him Spencer's not here, and he said,

663
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: you have to get him back. And I remember they

664
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: had to paige Spencer in the airport and he had

665
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: to turn around and leave the airports. Probably Burbank apport

666
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: probably wasn't l a X because we lived on the street.

667
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: And so he literally had to leave the airport right

668
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: before his flight to come and take me to the

669
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: hospital for them to go. Now, it's a slight sprain,

670
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: and he like missed the whole It was like a

671
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: Fox weekend. He was supposed to do, uh, some kind

672
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: of public and I just kept saying him like I

673
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: did not trigger this, I'm so sorry, like I'm so sorry,

674
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: and he was just he was best. Spencer getting paid

675
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: to be your guardian. Was he getting a break on

676
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: rent or something? Well, yeah, I think I think I

677
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: was paying most of the rent. But for the oak Wood,

678
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like we were living in some

679
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: last That is one of those situations, like you know,

680
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: he was inconvenience, like he was technically your legal guardian

681
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: for that whole first year, which is crazy because he

682
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: was only six maybe at the time, if that would yeah,

683
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, so he's my brother's age. So wait

684
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, we've been twenty because my brother's eight

685
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: years older than me. So but yeah, I remember had

686
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: to put like take him out of the airport because

687
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: he snuck away for a weekend leaving me alone, which

688
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't supposed to do, and it was like he

689
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: had to come back from the airport and yeah, he

690
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: was not at yep. Other than that, I can't think

691
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: of anybody else think thank god, Uh, would you encourage

692
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: your kids to become actors? Writer? You have a very

693
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: performative child. Wow, I'll say, I don't know what to

694
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: do about it. I really don't. I don't. I mean,

695
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: I can go off. Courage is an encourage is a

696
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: tough word. I mean, I would say you you I'm

697
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: sure will not discourage him from from following his dream.

698
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: I would imagine if if that happens to be his dream. Ah,

699
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: he said, Well, I mean a couple of years ago

700
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: he said something. I mean, even on this podcast, he

701
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: talked about being famous. He said something about like we

702
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: could I then be famous and like he gets really excited,

703
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: and I've you know, I definitely have discouraged that idea.

704
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: I've told him. I was like, hey, here's the way

705
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: I felt about being famous. Man, It's not being famous,

706
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, isn't what you think it is? Like, it's

707
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: not I think in his mind, it's just a net positive,

708
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: just like being rich is a net positive. You could

709
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: also be famous. And so I've had to sort of

710
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: explain to him, you know, I mean, I don't I

711
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: don't make him feel bad, but I just explained to

712
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: him how it made me feel and how I don't

713
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: know if it's the goal. The same way I explained

714
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: to him when he talks about wanting toys like other

715
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: rich kids have or you know whatever, I'm always like,

716
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: why do you want stuff? Like? What what are you

717
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: gonna do with it? You want to play with the toy? Yeah,

718
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: but if you know, it's better to have an experience

719
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: or a good meal or anywhere. That's what I'm always

720
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: so the same thing with fam. I'm just like, if

721
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: you want to be an actor, And I have told

722
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: him because I do think he is ridiculously performative. Um,

723
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: you know, I explained what an acting class was and

724
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: he got really excited, and the idea of improv like exercises.

725
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: When I explained what some of them were, he was

726
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: just like, but that's easy, that's fun. And I'm like, oh, yeah,

727
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna love it. So I'm but most of them

728
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 1: don't start till eight anyway, So I'm going to start

729
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 1: him up in the fall. He'll start taking an acting class.

730
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: They I've seen some some parent friends of mine begin

731
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: their kids with like going right to headshots, agents and auditions,

732
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: and that was a quick way to ruin acting for

733
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: them because obviously you don't get every part, and obviously

734
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: that's not fun. You know, maybe it's fun you show

735
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: up for a certain commercial and they're like, hey, do

736
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: this fun thing or say these funny lines. That can

737
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: be fun, but really, you know, unless you get work

738
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: right away, it can easily kill the acting experience. So

739
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: for me, it's like Indie has to take an acting

740
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: class or do a play. He's as expressed, he doesn't

741
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: really want to do a play. But the idea of

742
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: acting class where he gets to him rise or do characters.

743
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the kid has a whole set of characters.

744
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 1: He's as good as someone who does voices. He's good

745
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: at him know, so yes, he takes these challenges. We

746
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: have these conversation. I am engaging him like I did

747
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: on this podcast when I had him to his dinosaur stuff.

748
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: So I'm encouraging him creatively, and I want him to

749
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: build the right skill set if he wants to do it.

750
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: I do not want him to chase child actordom or

751
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: fame fame. Ye hyeah, Danielle, You've got two little ones

752
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: you want them to be? Would you encourage the business?

753
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: I know I'm not encouraging the business, but here's what

754
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: I'll say. I think our job as parents is to

755
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: show kids how like that the world is full of

756
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: possibilities and and then they will show you who they are.

757
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: And I am not going to try And he he

758
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: doesn't know who that who I am. He's three. He

759
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: doesn't know what I'm known for. But he does know

760
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: like he saw the first time you ever saw me

761
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: on TV was when we just did Good Morning America.

762
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: Um and the day before we were flying, you know,

763
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: we did nineties Con and we did Good Morning America.

764
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: And I had told him the night before, I said,

765
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: now when I when you wake up tomorrow, Mommy's not

766
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: going to be here. Daddy is going to be here

767
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: with you, and daddy's going to take you to school,

768
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: but mommy is going to be on a plane. And

769
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: he was like okay. He really took that in and

770
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, Mommy's going to work and she has to

771
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 1: go on a plane to get there. And he's like okay.

772
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: And so then the next morning he said to Jensen

773
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: when Jensen went in there alone, and he said, Mommy's

774
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: on a plane and he Jensen said, yeah, Mommy's on

775
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: a plane. And it was the next day we were

776
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: on a Good Morning America and Adler was sitting on

777
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: the couch and Jensen turned it on for him and

778
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: he pointed and he said, mommy, and then he looked

779
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: at Jensen he said on a plane and and Jensen

780
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: was like yeah. And so I think he thinks I

781
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: flew on a plane to get on TV and that's

782
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: how you get to TV. And I'm going to tell

783
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: when he's ready, when he's capable of understanding, I'm going

784
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: to tell him all of the things that are possible

785
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: in this in the industry, and if he wants to

786
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: do it, then you know, I'll probably do the same thing, right,

787
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: or did like really try to teach him the art

788
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: of it um and see if that interests him. But

789
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: I you know, if I had my druthers, no, it

790
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: would not be the life that I chose for him.

791
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: But we'll see what he wants to do. I definitely

792
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: think my kid, I want him to have a life

793
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: in the entertainment industry because I think he's a natural

794
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: storyteller performer. But it could be dancing, could be singing,

795
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: could you know. The acting thing seems like kind of

796
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: the easiest route in some ways, So I want to

797
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: make sure that he has an awareness he is in

798
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: my wife's movie, that he's an extra in my wife's

799
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: movie that she just and so he was on set

800
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: and he actually got to do the slate which is awesome.

801
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: You guys that video the second it happened. So he's

802
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: already felt comfortable in a set and really enjoyed it,

803
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: and everybody, of course loved having him there. So I have,

804
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: more than anything, I want him to have that because

805
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of great jobs in the entertrainment industry,

806
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, like being in the art department, being being

807
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: a camera operator, like uh, sound like these are really good, lucrative,

808
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: and you get to be around the magic, you know

809
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: what I mean, like just the film industry. For me

810
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: at least, what I still can never get enough of

811
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: is fake snow and fake blood and all the things

812
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 1: we do to make our make believes so much fun. UM,

813
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: and I just want him to have that, you know,

814
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: as an option for he has your sons and performer,

815
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: I will never have to worry about it, so we

816
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,959
Speaker 1: can move on to the next question. I think we've
