Speaker 1: the hell's going on? Call two minutes later from somebody else,

35
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: and right as he started talking, I knew it was wrong,

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: Like I just went, something's not right. He said, Well,

37
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: the bond's already been set. It's for twelve thousand, five

38
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, but we've got it reduced for five hundred

39
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: now from from fifty thousand. Now he doesn't know that

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: both my parents are attorneys for three hundred years, and

41
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: so they're looking at each other. I go, can you

42
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: hang on a second? And I mute it and I go,

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: this is a scam. My dad's like, there's you wouldn't

44
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: have a bond already if he's in the back of

45
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: the van, like, what what's going on? So as it's muted,

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: the guy hangs up. We call my brother. Obviously there's

47
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: a big snowstorm here. He's like, I'm shoveling off the driveway.

48
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: What's going on. We're like, oh my god, we just

49
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: got this call. We tell him this whole thing. As

50
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: this happens, we hang up. I'm on the phone with

51
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: my wife telling the story, and the guy calls back, Oh,

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: it tries a kiss, So now he knows it's a scam.

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: So now I get to play right. So the guy

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: calls and says, you know, this is the sergeant again.

55
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: We're checking to see did the lawyer call you? And

56
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: I turn it on. Yes, he called. I'm just I'm

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: so sorry. I'm so nervous right now. Can I please

58
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: talk to my brother? I need to talk to my

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: brother I'm sorry. He's now we've we've transported him. He's

60
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: in the holding pen. I was like, oh, okay, you've

61
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: got to get a message to him. And I said, okay,

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: he goes to Okay, what is I said, the gold

63
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: statue that my grandparents sent. We're having it melted down

64
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: as we speak. We're turning them into gold ingots that

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: are being polished. We are then sending them to a

66
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: small tribe that is going to turn them into blood

67
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: to get them to the vampire tribe that is going

68
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: to release him from prison. My brother, my brother, and

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: yelling in the room, my brother, Oh my god. And

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: so there's dead silence on the other end, but the

71
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: guys obviously still on the phone. I went, did you

72
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: pick up that we got? It's a scam? Do you do?

73
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: You know that? And then after that you just heard

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: the click. But it was thirty to sixty seconds of

75
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: just having so much fun. At this point, I thought

76
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: you were going to start like asking for a badge number,

77
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: or like just keep keep pushing him to go. But

78
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: I love it. You just made it your a chance

79
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: to shine. But you watched the color drain from my parents' face,

80
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: and you're thinking these horrible scam artists that are out there,

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: These are horrible, horrible human beings. I mean, yeah, I know,

82
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: my my human being. My wife's grandmother before she passed,

83
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: got scammed by one of these and sent hundreds of

84
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: dollars off to who she thought was her grandson because

85
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: he was in trouble and needed money and da da

86
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: da da da, and she just didn't know. You know,

87
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: it's playing on your love for your family, like we're

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: playing love for your family. It's it's awful. It's awful. Yeah.

89
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: My grandmother rest in peace, fell for it as well,

90
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: and I think twice, I think two times, sent thousands

91
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: of dollars, like twenty five hundred dollars the first time,

92
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: and unfortunately we didn't know it the time necessarily, but

93
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: she was battling some dementia and so then it happened

94
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: a second time and she didn't like remember that the

95
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: first time it had turned out to be a scam

96
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: and you know, oh man, it's just unbelievable. And they

97
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: did it to my other grandfather as well. You people,

98
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: whoever you, you're probably not listening to pod Meat's world.

99
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: If you're if you maybe well taking of your parents

100
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: who are not listening to Pod Meat's World. Yeahparents, this landlines,

101
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: all right, it's always if you have a landline, they

102
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: can look up and they will know everything. Like in

103
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: this situation, they knew even Will was his brother, and

104
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: they knew Greg's name and like, so make sure your

105
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: parents and your grandparents know that this scam is going

106
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: on and that you will never call them if you

107
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: need money. And then just don't never call them if

108
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: you need money. Then this is going to backfire big day,

109
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: bad idea. But just make sure they know this scam

110
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: is going on and they verify that you need it

111
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: two times two so terrified. Oh my gosh. I also

112
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you had that experience, Will, But I also

113
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: want to just talk about highlight some emails that we got.

114
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: It's been a while since I called out some shout

115
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: outs for some emails that we had. Lucy f email

116
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: just to point out that during her rewatch that she's

117
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: been doing with us, she noticed that the Matthews kitchen

118
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: table only has four placements and four chairs for eating,

119
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: and she knows exactly who probably isn't eating with the

120
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: rest of the family. And then we have to give

121
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: a shout out to ABBYG who binged the whole podcast

122
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: in five days. Wow, very impressive. She is twenty two

123
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: years old, a little younger than our imagined demographic, and

124
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: she said some very nice things about the show and

125
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: most importantly us, So hello, ABBYG, who's probably so sick

126
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: of our voices. Yeah, and then another one. Okay, we

127
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: got a lot of emails agreeing with you two about

128
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: the painful experience that is Goofy Sky School. But shout

129
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: out to Eileen, a rare voice of defense for the ride.

130
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: She admits to the fear of it all and that

131
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: while on the ride, the idea of sweet sweet sleeps

132
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: does flash right before her eyes. But she says if

133
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: Goofy Sky School is wrong, she does not want to

134
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: be right. That I'm never going that right. Did you

135
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: ride or did you read? The one theory which is

136
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: very interesting that the first time you see Sean wearing

137
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: the jacket, he's wearing it at the Matthews house, so

138
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: he actually stole it from Eric or borrowed it. Perfect

139
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: he stole it, so that's the first time you see it.

140
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: That's I love that theory. It makes perfect sense. And

141
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: then which maybe he just then Eric never noticed, but no,

142
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: that was the thing. I think it was a woman.

143
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: I apologize if I'm wrong, but what she said was

144
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: this was an Eric was going into his preppy phase,

145
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: so he was over it anyway. So he was like, take, yeah,

146
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: that's cool. I love that theory. He got trusted up

147
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: for the band show, right, and we're on different clothes

148
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 1: and I put on Eric's jacket. You put on Eric's

149
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: jacket and that's it. There you go. I like that,

150
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: very very cool. And you guys have been so wonderful

151
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: and supportive of our Harley shirt. We only have two

152
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: weeks left that we are offering it, and we have

270
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: I'll try this. And then so it was acting first.

271
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't comedy. First, it was acting. And then I

272
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: started doing a little stand up. Somebody said, why don't

273
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,240

Speaker 1: have flashbacks in Vietnam that I'd wake up in the

278
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: middle of the firefight and be thank God, I'm not

279
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: making anyway. You know what's funny too, is uh I

334
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,879

335
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: read the Versay of Dunces, and you did the same

336
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: thing I did. About two thirds to the way through it,

337
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: you went, I've lost interest. Yeah, I don't know what

338
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: it was that, you know he did. He died before

339
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: it was ever published. He won a posthumous Pulitzer. But

340
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: it should have needed a rewrite, as did Shakes the Clown.

341
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: If he had a couple of rewrites, it would have

342
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: been a good movie. You know, it's a good movie,

343
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: great movie. It was a movie. I got some stories

344
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: about that book. Oh I was doing, uh, doing that movie.

345
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: That's where I met Sandler and he got he had

346
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: not gotten Saturday Night Live yet and we were doing

347

00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: did you have any stories from Mash that I could hear?

376
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: Because I'm just it's my favorite thing ever, just that

377
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: I well, I was here. You know, the the last

378
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: episode was like two hours long, I think, yeah and

379
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: half hours long, and they had to bring back a

380
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: lot of people that they you know, had used that

381
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: were not killed or wounded or gone home or whatever.

382
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: So it was they didn't have that many roles that

383
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: we hadn't already been done. So I got the roles

384
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: of this MP, and uh, I screwed up the line

385
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: I was. It was supposed to be once the ceasefire

386
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: is signed, then we have to swap prisoners. And I said,

387
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: once to see CeaseFire's over, well that would go back

388
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: to work. So I had to go. I mean, you know,

389
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,800

Speaker 1: remember what it was for. I went in and the

456
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: woman was on the phone. The casting director was on

459
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: a long walk you come in, and then she's her

00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: desk is way over there and there's a stack of

Speaker 1: scripts on her desk. And I came in and she

462
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: was on the phone. So I just stood there and

463
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: she motioned for me to sit down in a chair.

464
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: So I sat, didn't say anything, you know, and then

465
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: she h hung up the phone. I'm sorry, da dada, dada,

466

Speaker 1: did the audition. Then I left. She tells my agent

468
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: I had an agent at that time. There's my agent.

469
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: Or he came in with low energy. He did the

470
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: reading fine, but then he went back to low energy

471
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: and I went, hell, that mean I was being colite.

472
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: She was damn, I am come in there and interrupt

473
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: her phone coup. She should have had me coming in

474
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: at the time she was, you know. So I said,

475
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I'm not right for this acting gouff.

476
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: So like when I did the first Tonight show. I

477
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: didn't even have an agent. I had no It was

478
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: like the uh I think I did another one that

00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: was the doorman at the comedy store as well as

480
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: a comedian. I did the first Tonight show on a

481
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday Thursday night. I was back on the door. So

482
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: I got an agent after that. How did you get

483
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: the Tonight show without an agent? How did it get

484
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: to you? I was the dormant as well as MC

Speaker 1: the pallet coordinated for comedy. But he would come in.

490
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,520

519
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: having a camouflage wallet. Yes, that was my That was

520
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: a bit that was real life, like what brother, you

521
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: drop it? Yes, that's right he had, but he had

522
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: an orange cattle. The wallet he kept in his pocket

523
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: was a camouflage The hat he wore on his head

524
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: was orange. How do you have a camouflage wallet? And

525
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: he goes, I, huh, yeah, you hunt? You drop it

526
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: out here. You're gonna hunt. You're gonna hunt bread And

527
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: I what about what about your hat? He went, oh,

528
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: my god, you that stupid. And I went, well, the

529
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: same jeans that went into that brain of yours went

530
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: in the mind. So you made a judge. He goes, dear, dear,

531
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: as everybody knows her color blind, and so he went, well,

532
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: that's really explained to the knee for a camouflaged wallet.

533
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: I do remember that. Gosh, oh my gosh, writer, do

534
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: you remember it feeling like a big deal that you

535
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: were getting to meet your dad on the show. Yeah?

536
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: I remember. I remember because you know, we had built

537
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: up Sean's family, so watch obviously, as we've seen now

538
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: watching the show, it was such a you know, it

539
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: was a legendary thing. And then of course bringing in

540
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know when. I guess it happens second season, right,

541
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: is Blake Blake on Zo? Yes, yeah, so we haven't

542
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: we haven't seen the episode yet, Blake. So I'm just

543
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: going off my memory because I, as we've talked about

544
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: on this, I've never seen Boy Meets World. So I'm

545
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: watching this for the first time and never sort of no, no,

546
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: so this is you know, I'm learning about the show

547
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: as we go. But so what I remember is that,

548
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, there was a sense of like, we're gonna

549
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: bring in your dad and it's gonna be a thing.

550
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be you know, And and this that classroom

551
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: scene just killing. Like I just remember it being like, oh,

552
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: this is so funny and this is so um, you know,

553
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: Blake just Blake, like he's just he is who he is,

554
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: and and and you brought so much life and charm um.

555
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: But then that sort of was just on the surface.

556
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: I feel like immediately you and I just bonded off camera,

557
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: like I just there was I don't know what it was.

558
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think it was. You know,

559
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 1: you meet a lot of performative people who are funny

560
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: and can be but they are frankly pretentious or always

561
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: on and exactly like you're describing about yourself, you just weren't.

562
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: You were saying you are so down to earth and

563
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: so not pretentious and so willing to just be yourself

564
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: and talk about your real life, and that that's what

565
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: really bonded me to you. Like I just started immediately

566
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: wanting to sit and talk and hear about stories, you know.

567
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: I I remember talking about Vietnam. My dad was a

568
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: VET from Vietnam, and I remember we just we just

569
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: immediately connected, and it was like, I don't know, like

570
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: I always kind of felt a little like the like

571
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: out of place a boy meets world, and I feel

572
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: like maybe you kind of felt a little out of

573
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: place in Hollywood in general, and we just kind of

574
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: had each other. Like I just remember sitting around and

575
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: wanting to take notes and hear stories constantly, like there

576
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: was a sense of like, you know, and then as

577
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: the show went on and got more dramatic, it got

578
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: even better because then I felt like we both kind

579
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: of bonded as dramatic actors in the middle of a comedy,

580
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: like you know what we were able to Oh, you

581
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: guys were so nice and so welming, welcoming and so

582
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: kind and warm and no egos, and you just, you know,

583
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: you don't you don't know how impressive it is that

584
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: for a man like me to see these these keen

585
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: idols that you guys were, and the audience is going

586
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: nuts and you just throw it off my others. It's crazy,

587
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, you know it never affected you guys. And

588
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: I remember one time, I don't know how old you were,

589
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: daniel maybe fifteen fourteen, yeah, and I was playing the

590
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: club and oh god, where was it? Oh, it doesn't

591
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: matter South and uh one of the other comics said, hey,

592
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: could you give me Danielle's an autograph? And I went,

593
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: you're a grown man. I don't know if I feel

594
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: good about doing it. Just more autograph atograph picture. You

595
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: remember Scream and I think I ended up hell and

596
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: you I think he did. Yeah, yeah, you know, the

597
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: guy's like thirty four years old whatever. I honestly used

598
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, yeah, unfortunately I was. I was used

599
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 1: to it, so I probably was like, that's a big deal.

600
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: It's all you guys just kind of took it all

601
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: in stride, you know, it was. I think a lot

602
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: of it had to do with Michael Jacobs because he

603
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: was so caring and he took looked after you guys.

604
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: And I remember one time we were getting notes and

605
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: uh he said something and and I stood up and said,

606
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: Roger derbre does history, which was from the producers. Yeah,

607
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: and he laughed. But you guys hadn't seen it yet,

608
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: like fifteen. So he said, all right, that's it. Next

609
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: week we're gonna you guys are gonna watch the Producers. Yeah,

610
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: I remember that. I remember that. Yeah, no, no, he

611
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: I remember. He was so upset that we didn't know

612
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: the producers. It was one of the like I remember

613
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: him going off on all of us, like what you

614
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: don't know the producers? This is crazy? How can you

615
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: be in the entertainment industry? Not the We were like,

616
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: oh god, I'll probably think a way to go blank. God.

617
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: We were We were used. We were used to hearing

618
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: that we were out of line for not knowing stuff

619
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: because Michael Michael used references all the time that we

620
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: didn't and we would never understand them. And surprisingly, Will

621
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 1: has become the Michael Jacobs contest. Will has references from

622
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: things that were like, what what are you talking about?

623
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: He knew all this stuff when he was teaching me. Yeah,

624
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: it's crazy what Alan Smithy film was that will Yeah,

625
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: he remembers movies before they were talkies. I do. I do. Well,

626
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: that's because they're great before they were made. No, Michael

627
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: kept that. One thing Michael was very very good at

628
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: was he kept us all grounded. He really made sure

629
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: that it never went to our head. I mean we've

630
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 1: talked about this where he would gather us and say,

631
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: I just want you all to remember this ends, yep,

632
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: this could end tomorrow and at the end of the day,

633
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: You've had an amazing experience. And he just he really

634
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: made sure that we we never we like, ego just

635
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: wasn't a thing on our set. We just were not

636
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: allowed to have it. Yeah, No, it's true, it's he was.

637
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: He was really really good at that, he really was.

638
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: I wish we could work together more, Blake, You and

639
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to work together all that much,

640
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: which is because the characters were kind of in different

641
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: worlds by the point he came on. Yeah, and so

642
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: never really got a chance. Yeah, unfortunately. But we hung out, yeah,

643
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: which was nice. And I learned the left like I

644
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: didn't know who I remember not knowing who Deno Rio was,

645
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: and you were okay, chilly, yeah, yeah, the guy in

646
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: the Edgar Edgar and many black Yepsen Ao, he was

647
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: the same guy in full metal jacket. And I wasn't

648
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: yet and I went, no, no, no, and I went

Speaker 1: So what which one pops out to you. That's a

671
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: hard question, geez, I don't know. Um there's still boy.

672
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: Twirl was very important to me. And one of the

673
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: things that that that I because the boy MutS were on,

674
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: because of Home Improvement and because of Sandler movies, I

675
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: had you know, pretty wide uh I won't say following,

676
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: but they knew who kind of knew who I was,

677
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, like those kids in the club in Detroit,

678
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, and then older people that like when we

679
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: were doing water Boy and in Orlando, we were at

680
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: this old we were it was a night shoot. We

681
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: were in this whole trailer park for old people, retired

682
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: people you know that ain't dead yet, we're getting ready

683
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,919
Speaker 1: to be dead whatever kind of like it is down

684
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: there now. And I don't understand this country and it

685
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: is you know, if I could go back to Noam

686
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: and I know what no one I go now, I

687
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: think I would have surrendered let's get here here in

688
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: my weapon. You guys got it right, but uh so

689
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: this really frosted Snyder's uh cajonis uh in spades. These

690
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: old farts were out there that way. I don't know

691
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: who those guys. I know that guy, he pointed me.

692
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: He's on that Yea. So they old people knew who

693
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: I was, and you knew who I was, but the

694
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 1: vast majority people in the middle had no clue. No anyway,

695
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. Yeah, so I it would be I

696
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: don't know if it would be a television show. Maybe

697
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: I guess the last episode of Match because it most

698
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: washed episodic TV and history still is. And uh or

699
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: it could be water Boy as a movie because that

700
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: kind of put me on the map. Oh, everybody where

701
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 1: you all of a sudden, you were to the point

702
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: were you know, you'd walk out for Halloween and every

703
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: other person was dressed like you for Halloween. I mean

704
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: it was like it you became such a such an

705
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: iconic character that it was just it was everywhere. That's

706
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 1: so cool. Yeah. I told Sandler this, and and fred

707
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: Wolf in Spain and all those guys. They said when

708
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: I went to Iraq in Afghanistan with Robin. I'd start

709
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: my show by going amount of time Babu Jana Field

710
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: and they go nuts. They and you know, three thousand

711
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: troops with weapons. They didn't want to piss them all.

712
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: They had laser sights. That was a big world. We'd

713
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: had that stuff anyway, and the night vision stuff to hit, yeah,

714
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: and the como and the satellites. I never knew where

715
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: I was in Vietnam. I was really hardly of a

716
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: new world. Was in Georgia. But wasn't that important then?

717
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: But so and then I do my little silly stuff

718
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: and then at the end I would say, yeah, this

719
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: place is uh dusty, and it's dirty and it's hot

720
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: and it's dangerous, but just remember this, guys, holy way

721
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: you make it. And they would go nuts again. So

722
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: I told Adam that and told Fred Wolf who wrote

723
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: show Dirt, and he loved it. I'm still doing boys.

724
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: I still do Slinky Dog, what time I know La,

725
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: I still do that the voice over stuff. So you know,

726
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm seventy seven years old. There were times when I

727
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: thought I'd never seen the next day, and that was

728
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: why I don't play tults anymore. But now there were

729
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: times when I was pretty sure it was over and

730
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: whatever happened happened or didn't happen. Most of them didn't

731
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: because they would say, go tack that hill moment. I

732
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: don't really want let's take that hill. I don't want it.

733
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't want to be up there

734
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: with with weapons, and they seem to want it. So

735
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: I think we should let him have, yeah, some kind

736
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: of time share with him. I want to I want

737
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: to ask you another question about boy Meat's world because

738
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: later in the seasons, uh we we brought in Matthew

739
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 1: Lawrence and he played Jack Sean's half brother. How did

740
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: having matt there change the dynamic between the two of

741
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: you with father and son? How did that change everything? Well,

742
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: I you know, I had two sons. Oh still do,

743
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: and you know, so I kind of took that. I

744
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: use that as a template. Whereas Ryder was you know,

745
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: I guess my I guess he would be my favorite,

746
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: but I knew him better. I didn't really know the

747
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: other kid, you know, or a character was Yeah, but

748
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't I know Matthew. I mean, I had done

749
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: give me a break with Joey and Matthew, you know,

750
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: but he was just a little kid. Yeah, little toddler.

751
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: So I've known him for a long time, and I

752
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it kind of worked out right

753
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: because I think it called for me and writer to

754
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: kind of bond closer, and he was almost we almost

755
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: treated him like an outsider until he kind of said,

756
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 1: you're treating me like an outsider, and then we tried

757
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: not to so the characters and uh, you know, but

Speaker 1: that just my generation didn't know anything about until the

898
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: first golf war and still nothing compared to Vietnam. But

899
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: it was just and then he would turn it around

900
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: to make it this life lesson and then turn it

901
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: around into a joke. Yeah, and it was. You were

902
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,960

906
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,360

946
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,520
