1
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: First of all, I apologize my voice.

2
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: I'm sick again or still I should say still been

3
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: like six weeks. Whatever rider had that was never going away.

4
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: Now I got it.

5
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: I actually got it on a plane. And I think

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: when you get something on a plane, it just socks.

7
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 3: In, yeah, and doesn't go away. It's a clinger, it is.

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: But that's neither here nor there, depending which which of

9
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: those you look at. I have another etiquette question.

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: Did somebody else break into your house?

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 2: No? No, that was I think I think we've we've

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: we've heard from many people that I was, in fact

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: right and that was the breach of etiquette. I'm going

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: to start calling this little section Will's etiquette corner.

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not going to do that at all. Sunday Sunday. See,

16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: that's a good one. No, I just want to hear

17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: a butler go, you're welcome.

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: How many free samples are too many free samples?

19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 4: I think if you have to go for like multiple toothpicks,

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 4: like you should just take one toothpick.

21
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 5: You can't, like, you know, if.

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: If it's set out on like a plate and there's yeah,

23
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: you only take one.

24
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: Okay, But at a time, what if you take one,

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: and you discussion store, and you go back and then

26
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: you do more. Here, what point do you feel shame?

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Well?

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: Do you buy the thing or not?

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Because if you want a question, yeah.

30
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. I think there's lots of factors

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: to this.

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Here's the question.

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: So Susan and I, you know, are redoing our kitchen

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,120

Speaker 1: And walk away too much free samples. Where do you go?

67
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Is it when you start bringing bags in? Are you

68
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: in a whole different levels?

69
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: How do you put a toothpick with toothpick with a

70
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,640

Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little I don't know. I think that's

75
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: I think that's I mean, honestly, it sounds like you

76
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: may need it, Like if you have to bring a

77
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: bag to a sample sale to load up. Then you

78
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: might struggling, you might need the food, and I'm not

79
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: I am not here to judge that if you do

80
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: not need the food and you're just like, oh, they

81
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: offer it for free, and here's my chance to take advantage. Yes,

82
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: that's what.

83
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,560

84
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: We were having a normal discussion, which was like, what

85
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: if I wanted three samples, that's the same thing, and.

86
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: Then we're in Costco sweatshirt. I mean, that's the best

87
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: part of going to Costco is the sample.

88
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: One of the best carts of going to samp of

89
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: Costco is the samples. Another best part is that I

90
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: can get my pap smear, I can get my eye exam,

91
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: I can get my tires rotated, and you can buy

92
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:31,320

233
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: Tickets available now at Pod Meets worldshow dot com. Over

234
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 3: the past few seasons of our rewatch, we have waxed

235
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: poetic about the relationships of the show, whether it's Corey

236
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: and Tapanga, Sean and Angela, Alannamy, even Cory and Lauren.

237
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: But we've noticed and rightfully pointed out the disappointment of

238
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: Eric never having a companion of his own. Sure, he

239
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: couldn't stop talking to girls on the phone in season one,

240
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: and we all like to point out that Jack and

241
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 3: Eric were actually together in subtext, But that golden retriever

242
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: of a human being had a big heart and he

243
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: should have been able to share it with a real storyline.

244
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 3: But maybe we've been looking at it all wrong. Maybe

245
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: Eric was given someone to express that love to, and

246
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: unfortunately it was just a three episode arc that involved

247
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: the possible adoption of a young orphan. Eric may have

248
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: been too young and inexperienced to accept that possibility then,

249
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: But this week we reunite Tommy and Eric for one

250
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: last shot at family. Our guest made his TV debut,

251
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 3: appearing on legendary sitcoms Frasier and Mad About You, then

252
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: making stops on Party of Five and Veronica's Closet before

253
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: he landed on Boy Meets World at just eight years old.

254
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: He may not have been on the show for long,

255
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: but he became a cult favorite for fans to wonder

256
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: what if Eric did take the jump and adopt a son.

257
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: He'd act for a few more years, popping up on Buffy,

258
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 3: the Vampire Slayer, Grounded for Life, Touched by an Angel,

259
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: to name a few shows, but then he'd retire, dropping

260
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: out around two thousand and five, walking away from Hollywood

261
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 3: for good, well kind of for good, minus one constantly

262
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: posted appearance on Girl Meets World over fifteen years after

263
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: he first originated the character. So what is Tommy up

264
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: to now? What's life been like since he walked away

265
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: from the industry. It's time to find out. This week

266
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: on Pod Meets World, we talked to the former actor

267
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: who may have been the true love of Eric's life.

268
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: It's forever our Tommy JB. Gaynor yaw are you?

269
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 6: I'm good?

270
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: So good to see you. Man. It seems crazy that

271
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: I guess it.

272
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 6: Was second was it? Come on?

273
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: That can't be ten years ago that we say.

274
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 4: Indy wasn't born yet, Man, Like, that's no, come on,

275
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 4: that's wrong on soil levels.

276
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 5: I can't believe that.

277
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 3: I know it's so it's so crazy, uh GB. We

278
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 3: are so happy to have you here.

279
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 6: For the past.

280
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: I find we have one of the more difficult people

281
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 3: for us to trap down. And I would like to

282
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: take this moment to give a special thank you to

283
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: Barbie Block, who is the reason we were able to

284
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: find you. She I sent her an email and she

285
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 3: was like, let me look into it, and eventually within

286
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,080

00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:47,400

00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 6: lived pretty much a double life. I would go out

318
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 6: there in Hollywood, and then I would come back here

319
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 6: and I would just put with my friends play sports outside.

320
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 6: And yes, I was living like two double double life.

321
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were the you were the o G. Hannah Montana.

322
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: Just put a j even though it's no one, he

323
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: takes off the glasses.

324
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 6: Who is it?

325
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: What was the set of Fraser like for a seven

326
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: year old? I don't think of that show as being

327
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: a show that had a lot of kids.

328
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: It was not.

329
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 6: That one was not very welcoming really really, it was

330
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 6: a lot of they didn't have kids, so it was

331
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 6: a lot of cussing, a lot of a lot of

332
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 6: you know, it was just very high intensity and I

333
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 6: just went in there. I'm glad I just had a

334
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 6: little part because I just went in there. I did it.

335
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 6: I got out. But yeah, that was the one that

336
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 6: was the more unenjoyable that I was on. Yeah, but

337
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 6: I mean it's still Frasier. So yeah, exactly.

338
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: So one of the greatest shows of all time. But wow,

339
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: not not exactly a warm and fuzzy memory for you,

340
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 3: for sure. Do you remember your audition for Boy Meets World?

341
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 6: I honestly, I don't remember my audition, but I remember

342
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 6: everything else. I just remember Michael Jacobs liked me because

343
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 6: I looked kind of like his son. Okay, he said, yeah,

344
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 6: you look kind of like my son. That's the reason

345
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 6: why I give you the part.

346
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: Sounds about right.

347
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 5: I love that he just said that to you. It's

348
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 5: not your talent, it's.

349
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 6: Just you're not that great. It's just you look like

350
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 6: my son.

351
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: Do you remember when when you first auditioned, was it

352
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: supposed to be just a one off?

353
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: Or were did you was the one?

354
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 6: It was a one off? But I watched Boys World

355
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 6: when I was younger, Like we watched IF that was

356
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 6: one of my shows, and so I was so like,

357
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 6: I don't know. I think it was just kind of

358
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 6: the vibe and I just went into it like with

359
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 6: a good energy and they wanted me back, I guess.

360
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 6: So that was that was awesome.

361
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: So you were a fan of the show even before

362
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: you auditioned, which is amazing. Do you remember if the

406
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: really well. And you were fun to hang out with,

407
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: and I knew you were kind of a like me.

408
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: You were a kind of a comic book nerd, a

409
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: little bit of a superhero nerd, and so we would

410
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: talk about stuff like that, and uh yeah. It was

411
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: also just it was very strange because it was you

412
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: didn't know what Eric was going to be from week

413
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: to week, and so now it was like, yeah, Michael's like, yeah,

414
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: Eric might adopt a kid, like what, so you just.

415
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: He never knew when it's.

416
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: Like okay, now all of a sudden, he's a you know,

417
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 2: I remember him specifically telling me like, Oh, it's going

418
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: to be an emotional arc and it's going to be

419
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: a you know, a good kind of run for you.

420
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: And I was like, great, no problem, h And Eric

421
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 2: is a kid, so Eric with the kid just works.

422
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it just It's one of those things we

423
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: saw also with the the single mom episode. I can't

424
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: remember the name of that that episode Uncle Daddy, Uncle Daddy,

425
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: but the I mean it just worked. And then JB

426
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: came in and I didn't. That's why because we saw

427
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: the first one with the with the where Eric was

428
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: Santa Claus, your first episode ever, and that's why I was.

429
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: When I rewatched it, I was like, huh, I wonder

430
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: if this was supposed to be the only episode with you.

431
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, it was only I went off, which

432
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: is so strange because it's what two episodes later is

433
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 2: the is the arc?

434
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: So had they not arked out the season.

435
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 2: Had they not written two episodes ahead already, and they

436
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 2: and they just rewrote everything. I'm curious to know how

437
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: that came about because that's a pretty massive change because

438
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 2: I think we're the a story in at least one

439
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: if not, we will be upcoming episodes. Yeah yeah, So

440
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: if they hadn't planned that. I'm really curious to see

441
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: how they want to.

442
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: Pull it off.

443
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 3: Possible that it was only going to be a second

444
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 3: episode and it wasn't going to involve the kid again.

445
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: It was just going to be Eric determined to adopt

446
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: a child, and it was going to be Eric having

447
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 3: those conversations. But maybe we weren't going to see Tommy again.

448
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 3: But once was Once JB was so good and your

449
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 3: chemistry was so great, it was like, we've got to

450
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: have it.

451
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: Was it was a Bludman bus Gang episode, wasn't it

452
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: when that not not Uncle Daddy, but are not to

453
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: the Santa Claus one? But I think the next one

454
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: because then Mark is the one who brought the Tommy

455
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: character back for Girl Meet World and bus Gang were gone,

456
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: And I wonder why it was Bludman that brought Tommy

457
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: back because he called me.

458
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm bringing Tommy back. I'm so excited.

459
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 6: I thought he was there because I remember seeing him.

460
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 6: I remember seeing Mark.

461
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, very strange, but yeah,

462
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 2: when they told me you were coming back from Girl

463
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: Me Trill, I was like, we're going to get to.

464
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: Girl Get there, a chance. Yeah, do you remember do

465
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 3: you remember meeting any any of the other cast members

466
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 3: or what are some of your favorite memories.

467
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 6: I remember I liked writer, but right it was very

468
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 6: very quiet, you know, cordial. I just always said hi

469
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 6: to him. But you were you were one of the

470
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 6: people that that i'cated towards two because you're just so sweet.

471
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: Actually, it was very maternal.

472
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: I actually have a.

473
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 6: Picture, I don't see it, and it's the same sweater

474
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 6: that you're wearing in that episode.

475
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: Oh that's so sweet. I loved, loved, loved kids, and

476
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: so anytime there was a young kid on the set,

477
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: I took it upon myself to be it was my

478
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: duty to make sure I was their little friend. So

479
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 3: I remember having a blast with you for sure. Do

480
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 3: you remember, JB. Did you watch your episodes when they aired?

481
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 3: Did you have a watch party?

482
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 6: I didn't watch it when it aired, but I've watched

483
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 6: it a lot growing up because all my friends always

484
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 6: always say, hey, look, did you see this episode? They

485
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 6: always they always do it whenever they meet new people.

486
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 6: They're always like, this guy was on TV and I'm like,

487
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 6: oh my god, that's so cute.

488
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 3: But you were a fan of the show before you

489
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: were cast on it. So why do you remember why

490
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: you didn't?

491
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 6: I don't. I didn't like watching myself, oh even that young. Yeah,

492
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 6: because I was a very nervous person. So I would

493
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 6: see things that I would do that that it was

494
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 6: like my nervous little twitches. In the new episode, I

495
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 6: would play with my hand. In the second episode, I

496
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 6: would play with my hands, and they get that on screen.

497
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 6: So I was like, I don't want to watch that.

498
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 6: I do like little things that that I knew that

499
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 6: wasn't right, and so I didn't like watching myself.

500
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: It's such an actor thing. You pick up on these

501
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: little things.

502
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 2: Writer and I have had conversations about this all the time,

503
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: little facial ticks or I always do this when I'm

504
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: gonna or something like my hair thing.

505
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: Had the hair thing two seasons.

506
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: I'm soda can every time I watch. I mean, we

507
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: have all these little kiss that we do that you

508
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 2: just and but again, I think it adds to the character.

509
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: Frankly doesn't even notice it's your nervous take.

510
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 3: They just think it's part of the character.

511
00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

512
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 2: That's so amazing though, that even at eight you were

513
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: already self conscious to the point where you were like,

514
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to watch myself.

515
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 6: I started when I was five, so I was already

516
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 6: in it pretty for Like, yeah, you.

517
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: Were like, who is this frasy guy? Anyway?

518
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 6: Come on?

519
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: Do you remember what the process was for you learning

520
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: your lines or memorizing your lines?

521
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 6: Honestly, it was so easy back then. Yeah, but when

522
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 6: I did Girl, it was so much harder.

523
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

524
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 6: I had that monologue and I was like, oh my god,

525
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 6: I don't do it. And then poor Rusty was trying

526
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 6: to coach me through it, and I was like, I

527
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 6: can't do it.

528
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: I can't do it.

529
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: I can't keep doing it.

530
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a muscle, you lose it, you know.

531
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 6: Like I was thinking about that because my son's doing.

532
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 4: Plays now and he memorizes thinks so quick, and I'm like, wow,

533
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 4: that's right. When you're younger, brain just.

534
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 5: Doesn't like wow.

535
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

536
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 1: So then why didn't that Why did that not translate

537
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: to me in school?

538
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: Why can I always remember dialogue but I couldn't remember Yeah,

539
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 2: It's like it was so strange.

540
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 6: I can remember lyrics to every songs and then I

541
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 6: can't remember history lessons exactly.

542
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: So the episode we have seen of yours the Santa's

543
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 3: Little Helper episode, you are dealing with will or Eric

544
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 3: as Santa Claus. Was that at all confusing for an

545
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: eight year old?

546
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 2: No?

547
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 6: Because Claus.

548
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so somebody else puts all the gifts under

549
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: the tree JB.

550
00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 3: Santa Geez Okay, so that thankfully no one had to

551
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 3: explain that to you.

552
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, it was you know, I think I

553
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 6: did it. I already did another another show where I

554
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 6: was a Christmas episode and I had to sit on

555
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 6: Santa's lab in that in that episode.

556
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 2: Two.

557
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 6: No, that was Crez you same thing. Kelsey Grammar was

558
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 6: actually the Santa Claus.

559
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 3: A bit of a different Santa.

560
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 6: Kid.

561
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna play the lap pick.

562
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: Since the time that you had been on Boy Meets World,

563
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: Tommy has lived on and become a bit of cult folklore.

564
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 3: Was Tommy always the character you were most recognized for?

565
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: Or has it just been that way over the last

566
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: couple of years?

567
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 6: It was that one in George Lopez.

568
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: Those are the two.

569
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 6: Those are the two ones that I would get recognized for.

570
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 3: What did you play on the George Lopez Show?

571
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 6: I was Ricky. I was actually supposed to be in

572
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 6: one off for that one too, and was in like

573
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 6: four or five episodes. I was like the kid, Yeah,

574
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 6: the kid I left the garage. What I know? Right,

575
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 6: that was my only bad role.

576
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: I was always a.

577
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

578
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 3: You were always tugging at heart strings and now now

579
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 3: you were blowing up garages. Oh man, okay, serious question here.

580
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 6: Yeah.

581
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 3: Do you think Eric should have adopted Tommy?

582
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 6: Of course, of course to California at that time?

583
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: What about you?

584
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: No?

585
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: No, Eric, of course Eric wasn't right. And I think

586
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: that that's one of the things.

587
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: I don't remember the actual dialogue of the episode, but

588
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: I remember specifically the episode I think it's your last episode, JB,

589
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: where I remember thinking that it was really well written.

590
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: Again it maybe maybe it doesn't hould up. I think

591
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: it does though, where it was it's that's the whole

592
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: point is it's like, I know, you love the kid,

593
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 2: but he's a family wants to move him to California

594
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: and start a family. I mean, it's just it was

595
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: the right thing to do, was let him go, and

596
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 2: for the first time in boy Mets world, they did

597
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: what was right and that what love dictated, which was yeah, exactly,

598
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: so no, I I yeah, I mean it would have

599
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: been great but Eric got Eric wasn't ready.

600
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: Eric wasn't ready. By Girl Meets World time, Eric wasn't ready.

601
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 5: Could have been a spin off, could have been a

602
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 5: spin offs.

603
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 3: The family was the Mansons, so you know.

604
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: Exactly, in all fairness, they were very close.

605
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

606
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, yeah, that's that was. I distinctly remember

607
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: that episode.

608
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 2: And I remember having to say goodbye to JB too,

609
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: because we we bonded over the three weeks we were

610
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: together and we had a lot of fun together, and

611
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: it was.

612
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 6: I actually cried in that episode kind of because I

613
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 6: was actually just so sadly that it wasn't even in

614
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 6: the script, but I I just I was sad. Yeah,

615
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 6: it was a sad episode for me.

616
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

617
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: Well so you were you were able to cry.

618
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: I was not. And I remember Michael came up to

619
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: me and you went, hey, can I talk to you

620
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: for a second. I wait, you so, uh you can't cry?

621
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: And I went on cue like that.

622
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: No, He's like, all right, just try to sell it, like, okay,

623

Speaker 2: I'll never forget that can't cry.

624
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: No, it was not in my repertoire at the time.

625
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: I'm made of stone, I don't. I just yeah, so

626
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'll never forget that.

627
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 3: He's just like, all right, just sell it, all right,

628
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: just sell it. That's your thank you.

00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: Here we go action.

Speaker 3: Well, after being on three episodes of Boy Meets World,

631
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,200

Speaker 6: all that criticism, it's so much easier to just let

640
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 6: it roll off. And then when you get older, you

641
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,400

707
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 6: Like every year she'd be like, do you still want

713
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 6: was eighteen, and then that's that's about it. I just

714
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 6: I just would go on auditions when casting directors would like,

715
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 6: ask for me something like that, Right, That's that's all

857
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,320

926
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 6: of the whole.

927
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: Series, Well you did. I mean, the the the Tommy

928
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: Eric storyline.

929
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: To this day, at conventions and stuff like that, when

930
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: people are talking about Eric, they talk about the Feenie call,

931
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 2: they talk about plays with squirrels. Yeah, they talk about Tommy.

932
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 2: I mean, those are the three things I get more

933
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: than anything else. So there was something about the relationship

934
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: between those two characters, and that three episode that just

935
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 2: stuck with people. Yeah, I think so too. It was

936
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: it was good and it was also Danielle was talking

937
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 2: about this in the in the introduction. By this point,

938
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 2: Eric was almost on an island, like they never really

939
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 2: gave him a relationship of any kind, and so the

940
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: one time that they do give him somebody to play

941
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: off of really in any sort of relationship is like

942
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: the son younger brother kind of vibe. And there was

943
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 2: something too, you know, by this point in the series,

944
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: we've talked about how the show is really separated by

945
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 2: by the A story and the B story.

946
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: There was really Corey, Sewan and Tapanga and Angela.

947
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 2: What's going on in the A story and then Eric

948
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 2: and Jack and Rachel and whatever's going on in the

949
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 2: B story. And it's kind of maybe we have a

950
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 2: scene in the student union where everybody's sitting together, but

951
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 2: for the most part they're separated. So we haven't seen

952
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 2: Eric and Corey together in kind of a brother capacity

953
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 2: in a while.

954
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 5: Now, God, that's true.

955
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: So does he almost forget them?

956
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 6: Relieved?

957
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 5: Right?

958
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 3: Yeah?

959
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 2: So, and people really liked the dynamic of Eric and

960
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 2: Corey together, especially when Corey was very young at the

961
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 2: you know, season one and season two. So to kind

962
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 2: of see Eric back in that older brother role with

963
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: another young man is something I think people really gravitated

964
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 2: towards because that's what people loved about Eric was the

965
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 2: heart that he had when he was with Corey. So

966
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 2: I think I think Tommy for three episodes kind of

967
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 2: became the Corey surrogate, where it was it's like, oh,

968
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 2: you're the older brother again.

969
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 5: It was also just a chance for Eric because I

970
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 5: mean that b story that you were a part of

971
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 5: was so goofy most of the time comedy, and so

972
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 5: to have a real, any sort of real moment, it's powerful.

973
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 2: You know.

974
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 5: It was kind of shocking I think for people, and

975
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 5: great in a great way.

976
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. It was it was it's

977
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: still mentioned all the time. People loved it.

978
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: Well, we found the Girl Meets World clip.

979
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: Excuse me, my name is t J. Murphy, Thomas Jonathan Murphy, Eric.

980
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 3: Matthews, everyone's everyone's.

981
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 5: My god.

982
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: Daniel's like, I'll take this entire crowd on my shoulders. Listen.

983
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: It's not that big, only one, you know, the only one.

984
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 5: Everyone was.

985
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 6: In the audience.

986
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 5: Why are you talking about.

987
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 6: That's actually right.

988
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: I love all the kids too, just like I remember them, Like,

989
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: you gotta film it.

990
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 2: You gotta film it because if this is gonna go

991
00:46:58,560 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 2: viral and that's what gets Eric elected.

992
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 3: Like okay, all right, that's a stretch, but that's all right.

993
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: God's so funny.

994
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 3: My gosh, I have seen that so many times because

995
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 3: people are like, they tagged me, Danielle, were you surprised?

996
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:22,839

1049
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 3: Girl Meets World time, and I remember at Girl Meets

1050
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 3: World too, thinking like, it's not that far off from

1051
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 3: the sweet little boy that we worked with in the nineties,

1052
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 3: like you are who you are, who you are, you know.

1053
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 2: It's also the thing that's amazing that that he had

1054
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 2: in common with the little kid that was from Liar

1055
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 2: Liar and Uncle Daddy.

1056
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: The thing I remember most was how professional they were.

1057
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:19,959
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1058
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 2: I mean, even at that age, you think that you're

1059
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 2: gonna be They're gonna be running around and all, we

1060
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 2: got it. There's kid wranglers on the set.

1061
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 5: We got it.

1062
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: It was never like that with him.

1063
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 2: He was always fun and still a kid. But when

1064
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 2: work it came time to work, he'd work, you know.

1065
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 2: It was it was one of those things people like,

1066
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 2: don't never work with kids and animals, Well, there's some

1067
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 2: kids that are pretty darn good even at that age.

1068
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And he was one of those where it

1069
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 2: was not it was never like, oh man, I gotta

1070
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 2: go do a scene with a seven year old.

1071
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 1: It was like, okay, cool, what are we gonna do

1072
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: on this one? It was it was great. So he

1073
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun to work with us and

1074
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: grew up to be a pretty pretty special man.

1075
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, so healthy to like recognize as a

1076
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 4: teenager like I'm not I'm not cut out for this,

1077
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 4: Like this is not because there's a lot of pressure

1078
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 4: to be like to keep it going, and like, you know,

1079
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 4: it took me a long time to come to.

1080
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 5: Basically the same realization.

1081
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 4: It's like I love acting if I have the job,

1082
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 4: but like auditioning makes me feel really bad about myself.

1083
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 4: And like that was you know, I was thirty by

1084
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 4: the time I was like, I think I need to

1085
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 4: just for my mental health, take a break and like

1086
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 4: take a step back, you know, because but there was

1087
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 4: so much there's so much momentum, there's so much like

1088
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 4: you have to keep doing this, you have to prove

1089
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 4: but you you know, part of being an actor sometimes

1090
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 4: is that you're a sensitive person, You're emotional, you're and

1091
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 4: like you have to have like a thick layer of

1092
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 4: skin to really be a professional adult actor because you're

1093
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 4: constantly getting rejected and I like, you know, I'm It's

1094
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 4: so great that he realized that at a young and

1095
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 4: then I had something else that he loved, like golf.

1096
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 5: You know, he was able to be like, no, this

1097
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 5: is not who I am like and.

1098
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 3: So apparently got out early enough with that realization that

1099
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,399
Speaker 3: then when they offered him the part on Girl Meets World,

1100
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 3: his feeling wasn't oh no, I cannot do that again.

1101
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 3: It was oh fun, absolutely, yeah, yeah the job, Yeah exactly,

1102
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 3: that'd be good.
