Speaker 1: Hey, Fanarritos, and welcome to an incredibly special episode of
Speaker 1: How Rude Tanneritos. In case you're new here, I've been
Speaker 1: carrying a torch for a very special person for the
Speaker 1: last thirty six years. I first fell in love with
Speaker 1: those baby blue eyes and curly mushroom top hair in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight when he sang the very first single
Speaker 1: for New Kids on the Block, Please Don't Go Girl.
Speaker 2: I've followed his career ever.
Speaker 1: Since, and never in my wildest dreams did I think
Speaker 1: I would ever meet him, let alone become friends with him.
Speaker 1: And now here we are with him as my guest today.
Speaker 1: He is the youngest member of New Kids on the Block,
Speaker 1: but his talent extends far beyond the group.
Speaker 2: He is a true theater kid who.
Speaker 1: Rose to become a leading man, lighting up TV, film
Speaker 1: and the Broadway stage in hits like Wicked and Waitress.
Speaker 1: He made two appearances on Fuller House, once with his
Speaker 1: bandmates in the season two episode New Kids in the House,
Speaker 1: and again in the series finale, when he officiated the
Speaker 1: triple wedding in the Tanner Fuller Gibbler backyard. In addition
Speaker 1: to his acting career, he has also released eight solo albums,
Speaker 1: including his most recent Freedom, which he has described as
Speaker 1: a reflection of self discovery and artistic independence, and he's
Speaker 1: about to hit the road again with Phase two of
Speaker 1: his Freedom Tour, kicking off September twenty ninth in Anaheim.
Speaker 1: He is one of my favorite people in life. Watching
Speaker 1: him on stage doing what he was clearly born to
Speaker 1: do is one of my greatest joys. But when your
Speaker 1: teenage crush turns out to be one of the most genuine,
Speaker 1: kind hearted humans you could ever meet, well, now that's
Speaker 1: a dream come true. It is my deepest honor to

Speaker 2: Is to this.
Speaker 1: My answer, yeah, well, we became friends, not when we met,
Speaker 1: but when we became you know, for buddies.
Speaker 2: I don't I think I thought about, like, I know,
Speaker 2: would that be Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 6: First well, the first time was twenty elevel when you
Speaker 6: did the video for us for Over the.
Speaker 2: Mixtate twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: That was twenty twelve for Mixtape Mixtape Festival and Hershey.
Speaker 4: Personally, that was like, oh my god, I can't believe.
Speaker 6: I don't remember like hanging out a hardcore before that.
Speaker 2: So okay, good, that's a genesis. Yeah, okay, He's.
Speaker 3: Like, okay, good, I'm glad I passed that. Okay, And after.
Speaker 6: One and then we uh, I just thought it was
Speaker 6: really cool that you jumped in and like was like,
Speaker 6: you know, amazing at what you do and like part
Speaker 6: of the whole gang. And since then it's been a
Speaker 6: string of sitting on couches and trying to read each
Speaker 6: other's minds.
Speaker 4: I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, my memory goes back to twenty thirteen when we
Speaker 1: ran the Hollywood Half marathon.
Speaker 2: This is this is the.
Speaker 1: Origin of our friendship because we were in that VIP room.
Speaker 1: We got the great VIP treatment.
Speaker 4: Oh we wasn't there.
Speaker 2: We were in a limo. Yes, I have the picture
Speaker 2: of us that.
Speaker 3: You in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It took us from the VIP suite to the starting
Speaker 1: line and you and I had a conversation on the
Speaker 1: way to the limo and to the star Line, and uh,
Speaker 1: you were telling you were saying how nice it is
Speaker 1: to have VIP bathrooms and I'm like, oh, yeah, because
Speaker 1: those porta potties. Those are terrible. Nobody wants to do
Speaker 1: the pre race poopers. And you said yeah, and I'm
Speaker 1: a double number twur.
Speaker 4: A double number two.
Speaker 1: Yes, And then you said, I think we're officially friends
Speaker 1: now because this is the most personal I've ever gotten
Speaker 1: with anyone. So that's when we became friends. When you
Speaker 1: told me that you're a double number two.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I'm surprised you don't remember that
Speaker 5: shoe because you're never gonna forget it after today.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that one was yeah, well there you go. There's
Speaker 6: gonna be hashtags of that momentarily.
Speaker 4: I do remember the I do remember we jumped right in.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, I'm I'm known for better or
Speaker 6: for worse for my sarcasm, and you know, Andrea is
Speaker 6: a heavyweight in that department too, so we kind of
Speaker 6: I remember that car ride because it's like we jumped
Speaker 6: right in and it was sort of like a free
Speaker 6: for all. I don't think we were going at each
Speaker 6: other necessarily, we were in for a good time. What
Speaker 6: are we doing in a limo before a thirteen mile
Speaker 6: run on Hollywood Boulevard. It was nothing is random, but
Speaker 6: you know that would be in the random category.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, for sure that was a great That was
Speaker 2: a great memory.

Speaker 2: By the way, I do not know. I have forty
Speaker 2: nine year old knees now, so I don't. I don't.

Speaker 6: My kids were you know, obviously younger, they're teenagers now,
Speaker 6: but you know, there was lots of you know, soccer
Speaker 6: games and baseball games, and so immediately, you know, I
Speaker 6: would be at the soccer game or whatever, and like
Speaker 6: it just became a habit.
Speaker 4: People would run up and go who are you?
Speaker 6: You know, and it was all because I was on
Speaker 6: Fuller House, you know, it was it was completely they
Speaker 6: had no idea who I was otherwise, so I had
Speaker 6: this whole other wave of you know, recognition, which was cute.
Speaker 6: And it was so street of you guys too, especially
Speaker 6: the you know, the first episode to just get right
Speaker 6: to it and and it was kind of nice. It
Speaker 6: was like, you know, I think you had mentioned it before,
Speaker 6: you know how the Beach Boys the first time around

Speaker 5: couple appearances that is like a through line through the show.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: It was, I mean, talk about an honor to just
Speaker 6: kind of be maybe you know, accidentally confused in that vibe.
Speaker 4: It was. It was really sweet that you guys did that.
Speaker 6: And you know, obviously us coming back, you know after
Speaker 6: so many years, there were there were a lot of
Speaker 6: like you know, behind the scenes similarities and things. And
Speaker 6: then and then for everybody that you know, the audience,
Speaker 6: like you say, you know, we were really kind of
Speaker 6: like on parallel you know paths there, you know.
Speaker 5: Vibe wise, Yeah, definitely same like age bracket of fays
Speaker 5: and nostalgia.

Speaker 6: First of all, when the New Kids came back in
Speaker 6: two thousand and eight, and we kind of were building
Speaker 6: towards something and you know, we we had enough you know,
Speaker 6: I guess self esteem and confidence in ourselves that we
Speaker 6: you know, we had somewhat of a plan. But all
Speaker 6: at that time, our our fans were not yet the
Speaker 6: CEOs and running, but.
Speaker 4: They were assistants.
Speaker 6: They were they were the people that ran into their
Speaker 6: boss's office and said, no, this is legit, Like right,
Speaker 6: I forget so in that same vibe, you know, I
Speaker 6: say it all the time, like our you know, we
Speaker 6: are you know, the tentacles are out. It's like they're
Speaker 6: in there and and part of the culture. And yes,

Speaker 3: I have heard this story, actually, but I didn't know. Yes,
Speaker 3: I have heard the I of.
Speaker 4: Course it killed in the room.
Speaker 2: And history everybody knows the lyrics look.
Speaker 5: Basically, So basically we made Adam Devine.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying like that.
Speaker 2: We'll take credit for that.
Speaker 4: He has still been on Workaholic season fifteen.
Speaker 3: And oh yeah, that's that's sure.
Speaker 6: When speaking of theme songs, and we're rolling here right,
Speaker 6: we're just oh no, we just.
Speaker 5: We have been doing this interview since the moment you
Speaker 5: popped up.
Speaker 3: Don't even worry about it.
Speaker 4: Soon, he notes out of the door.
Speaker 5: Tell you what our fan of Ritos expect, nothing more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 6: I kind of wish it was Andrea because it would
Speaker 6: have been I would have busted her chops more, Candice,
Speaker 6: it would have It didn't whatever, But for some reason,
Speaker 6: when she came to Vegas.
Speaker 4: And she was backstage, I came.
Speaker 6: Out into the hall and I told her in my
Speaker 6: mind the theme song that I took again.
Speaker 4: Because I'm older than you guys, are.
Speaker 6: You take the good you take the bad take the
Speaker 6: volunt there you have the facts of the life life.
Speaker 6: But I wouldn't if there was a gun into my head.
Speaker 6: I could not sing Full House theme song, you know
Speaker 6: what I mean? You know what I mean, Like Jody
Speaker 6: doesn't like the New Kids, I don't know the full
Speaker 6: you know, full House theme something.
Speaker 5: Shockingly large portion of the cast probably doesn't even nothing personal.
Speaker 6: No, I'm just kidding, but I just think it's like, uh,
Speaker 6: I thought that was kind of random.
Speaker 3: Look, I had it's a Small World stuck in my
Speaker 3: head last night. I don't know why. I don't know
Speaker 3: how it got in there. So talking about random things
Speaker 3: that pop.
Speaker 5: Into your head, you just never know what it's going
Speaker 5: to be. Sometimes it's the full House theme song. Sometimes
Speaker 5: it's just it's a small World over and over again.
Speaker 5: And I that's when I need to take my meds.
Speaker 6: I want to I want to hear method Man sing
Speaker 6: a Small World.
Speaker 3: So do I.
Speaker 5: And you know what, thankfully there's that could absolutely one
Speaker 5: do that, and it's probably gonna be really weird.
Speaker 4: Be here for Mark on that because Donnie's good friends
Speaker 4: with method Man.
Speaker 6: Actually he's been on Blue Buds a couple of times,
Speaker 6: so nice yeah, I'm gonna do it the old fashioned way.
Speaker 4: I'm going to text Donnie to text method man.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh I met him. I won dropped the mic.
Speaker 3: I met him.
Speaker 5: When I did that show and it was awesome and
Speaker 5: I was I was so honored.
Speaker 3: And then he even said on a.
Speaker 5: Late night show they I think it was Kimmel maybe
Speaker 5: asked him like, who was the most surprising guest you
Speaker 5: had on and he said, uh, it was me so.
Speaker 3: Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray.
Speaker 4: Nice Sweetheart. I battled Joey Fatone.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, I remember, Yeah, I do buried him.
Speaker 4: I buried him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I really. I was really proud of myself. Actually,
Speaker 5: our producer Jensen Cart was also a producer on that show.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, anyway, enough about me. Back to Joe.
Speaker 1: Normally, our producer Mattie, she'll do like a rundown for
Speaker 1: us for every guest with a little bio and like
Speaker 1: some starter questions and stuff.
Speaker 5: I usually don't really read them until we're like in
Speaker 5: the interview, right I prepped.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well I was the whole Rundown'm like, Mattie,
Speaker 1: don't touch this. I am writing the whole thing.
Speaker 2: It's normally like a page, page and a half.
Speaker 1: Your rundown is six pages, color coated with a legend.
Speaker 3: And a safe word.
Speaker 5: There's a there was a she gave me a safe word, Joe,
Speaker 5: because I sometimes will go on tangents bit potentially funny
Speaker 5: ones sometimes, but sometimes I we'll veer a little.
Speaker 3: Far off to the side, that to the side.
Speaker 5: And so she was like, I'm giving you a safe
Speaker 5: word that if.
Speaker 3: I type it in the chat, you have to be quiet.
Speaker 3: So that was why now I pivoted real quick back
Speaker 3: to you after.
Speaker 5: We'd spend a moment on me, because I was like,
Speaker 5: I'm going to get the safe word here.
Speaker 2: Shut up?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, good, good, All right.
Speaker 1: First, I just want to remind you if you don't,
Speaker 1: I think you know this, but I'm going to tell
Speaker 1: our listeners because they don't know this, that in the
Speaker 1: original pitch for Fuller House, Jimmy Gibbler was supposed to
Speaker 1: have the way you.
Speaker 4: I just want to say it. I'm bearing, I'm bearing good.
Speaker 3: Are you going to give him a safe Joe?
Speaker 4: You're about to do a live ad? Oh?
Speaker 3: Because I went in former.
Speaker 5: Mode, that's why, right, so right right, yeah, And if
Speaker 5: you drink this tea you'll also yourself.
Speaker 3: No, sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: You want to be a double number two?
Speaker 3: Talk about a double? Yeah? No, sorry, all right, jesus.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna mute my mic.
Speaker 5: No no, no, don't absolutely don't transition back into my.
Speaker 3: Very are not our specialty? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: In the original pitch for Her House, Jimmy Gibbler was
Speaker 1: supposed to have five ex husbands and one of them
Speaker 1: was a Joey McIntyre impersonator.
Speaker 3: So funny, and we were going to ask.
Speaker 2: You to play the role. Did I think I told
Speaker 2: you this one time backstage in a concert and.
Speaker 3: Oh that would have been great.
Speaker 2: Would you have accepted this role?
Speaker 4: I think I think no.
Speaker 6: No, you were furious that I didn't drop everything, quit everything,
Speaker 6: go back home and just wait for the phone to ring.
Speaker 4: Like literally, that was your reaction.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: You know, streamers out of the way, remember as an idea.
Speaker 4: She was pissed that I wasn't all in on the.
Speaker 3: Pitch, right right right. She was like when did you
Speaker 3: do it?
Speaker 5: And you were like She's like I can't believe you,
Speaker 5: and you're like, oh yeah, but.
Speaker 4: She literally like wanted me to sign.
Speaker 1: I had a docu sign ready waiting was a color
Speaker 1: coded didn't have a safe word.
Speaker 4: That is fun. That is a very funny bit. I
Speaker 4: like that. I would have I would have.
Speaker 2: Done it it agreed, hilarious. Well, yeah, they nixed that
Speaker 2: idea for whatever reason.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we should have had the Olsen twins come on
Speaker 5: as a Michelle impersonators and maybe they might have done
Speaker 5: it and then like it's not really them, It's just
Speaker 5: an impersonator, right.
Speaker 4: Would have been great.
Speaker 2: No, that would have been really funny, funny twist.
Speaker 6: Did you say, did somebody must have pitched actually bringing
Speaker 6: them on?
Speaker 3: Oh they were asked. Yeah, they were asked. They're like,
Speaker 3: we're not actors anymore.
Speaker 4: People actors playing them.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 5: Yes, it was like a very very long shot. No,
Speaker 5: there were there were a couple like ideas back and forth,
Speaker 5: and then we were like we can't, we cannot, we can't.
Speaker 7: Do you Love Sex in the City. Now you can
Speaker 7: relive the magic from the very beginning, every date, every heartbreak,
Speaker 7: every Cosmopolitan with me Kristin Davis aka Charlotte Yorick on
Speaker 7: my podcast Are You a Charlotte. I'm rediscovering the show
Speaker 7: that we all love so much. Episode by episode. Open
Speaker 7: your free iHeartRadio app search are you a Charlotte and
Speaker 7: listen now.
Speaker 1: So the three of us share, three of us share
Speaker 1: a very special bond, like this unspoken connection because we
Speaker 1: all grew up in the spotlight and there's not many
Speaker 1: people in the world that you can talk to and
Speaker 1: have this sort of unspoken connection.
Speaker 2: And I'm reminded every once.
Speaker 1: In a while of that, Yeah, I grew up not
Speaker 1: I with not a normal childhood, and I know you
Speaker 1: can relate to that too, Joe.
Speaker 2: And so I'm what I'm thinking of is when your bandmates.
Speaker 1: Through you the graduation, your high school graduation in London
Speaker 1: while you're on tour, and how that's so that's not
Speaker 1: how most people graduate from high school.
Speaker 2: So yeah, how do you look back on that now?
Speaker 2: And do you have any regrets? Would you change anything?
Speaker 4: Regrets?
Speaker 6: You know, I don't want to say something corny like
Speaker 6: I don't believe in regrets because blah blah blah. Sometimes
Speaker 6: I'd say that because like I want to defend, like
Speaker 6: whatever I did was mine and my choice.
Speaker 4: You know, you know I think it.
Speaker 6: I think all these choices back then, whoever made them?
Speaker 6: You know, we us, the world whatever, h they cost, right,
Speaker 6: you can't you know they had a cost. And you
Speaker 6: know I often say about the picture that I took
Speaker 6: of the it's somewhere. I mean, I'm pretty good at
Speaker 6: keeping things. I think subconsciously, I I lost it because
Speaker 6: I'm holding the diploma and they gave me like a
Speaker 6: hat and I'm white as a ghost. Were like in
Speaker 6: the middle of like ten shows at Wembley and I'm eighteen,
Speaker 6: like dark circles under my eyes, white, just white and
Speaker 6: to boot I had my first serious girlfriend at the time,
Speaker 6: who was in California, and.
Speaker 4: I was on the phone too.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, yeah, she knows when you know
Speaker 3: what I mean that time change at eight hours.
Speaker 4: It was like a first relationship and like she was
Speaker 4: the best, but like you know, she if she.
Speaker 6: Could just keep me on the phone, everything would be fine,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. And of course I had
Speaker 6: my own issues of like not having the tools to
Speaker 6: go love you for the seventeen thousand times.
Speaker 4: But I got to go to bed, you.
Speaker 6: Know what I mean, five of the morning and then
Speaker 6: you wake up at three four in the afternoon, and
Speaker 6: it's so I mean, luckily, you know, there was never
Speaker 6: drugs and alcohol like in our world back then, but
Speaker 6: like it came.
Speaker 4: Out in other ways, you know what I mean, the
Speaker 4: function came out in other ways.
Speaker 6: So you know, it was it wasn't easy, and I
Speaker 6: think the recovery from that was took years, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean you still functioned and you still did other things,
Speaker 4: but there was.
Speaker 5: You know, it takes a while to pick it all apart.
Speaker 5: Andrea uh says, we're what recovering child stars or something
Speaker 5: because and not like recovering you know, we always say
Speaker 5: like it's not like with some from some deep, dark,
Speaker 5: terrible thing. It's just like all of us recovering from
Speaker 5: childhood trauma with a big tea or a little tea. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it takes you, not until you're kind of an adult
Speaker 5: to really pick it apart and be able to dissect
Speaker 5: it and look at it and maybe how it could
Speaker 5: have been different, should have been different.
Speaker 3: Was actually pretty cool, you know, so I think exactly
Speaker 3: it's yeah, but it is.
Speaker 5: It's such a unique way to have to get to
Speaker 5: know yourself at a time when you're really trying to.
Speaker 3: Figure out who you are.
Speaker 5: You have everybody in your ear and in the world
Speaker 5: kind of telling you who that person is and so
Speaker 5: it's I think it's a weird time for like self
Speaker 5: identity for young people.
Speaker 4: It's complicated, I think so.
Speaker 6: And I think, you know, talking about it with you guys,
Speaker 6: I mean I think very differently, you know, experience for
Speaker 6: a girl, young young a guy, you know what I mean, right,
Speaker 6: not easier whatever, But I would take the dude route,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean at that age, right, because
Speaker 6: girls are so much you know, further ahead emotionally, you know, yes,
Speaker 6: and no, they still have to they need their safe
Speaker 6: place and and and and so.
Speaker 4: But to to go through it at.
Speaker 6: You know, as as a young woman is it must be.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, like, fame in general, I
Speaker 5: think on women is harder, you know, just looks wise
Speaker 5: and you know, picking you apart or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, luckily we didn't have social media back in
Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties, as I would not.
Speaker 2: I don't know if i'd want to do be a
Speaker 2: child star social.
Speaker 3: I certainly I'm boy.
Speaker 5: I'm glad there were cameras.
Speaker 3: There's the bad blurry.
Speaker 4: I want to I do want to push back a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, do it, let's fight.
Speaker 2: Guy, bring it.
Speaker 5: But you guys had so many screaming, crazy girl fans
Speaker 5: that's also got to be weird and a lot.
Speaker 6: Listen, I'm off the hook because I have seven older
Speaker 6: sisters and like I know, you know, I I completely
Speaker 6: celebrate the power and.
Speaker 4: Grace and amazingness of women. But like.
Speaker 6: You know, this business is hard for anyone. Well, there's
Speaker 6: a role for everybody. I wanted to say, as far
Speaker 6: as where is the you know, growing up you know,
Speaker 6: famous or you know, and looking back, I said it,
Speaker 6: I said it out loud yesterday, but I heard.
Speaker 4: It from someone else, because we hear it all from
Speaker 4: someone else.
Speaker 6: But you know, this idea that two things can be
Speaker 6: true at the same time now, and I think that's
Speaker 6: part of the recovery process and part of like claiming
Speaker 6: our space and finding who we are and right sizing
Speaker 6: it all is like and I heard you say that,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, That's what made me think
Speaker 6: of it.
Speaker 4: You were like, yeah, it was awesome and it was
Speaker 4: painful at the same time, you know, And it's nice
Speaker 4: to be able to just you know, say that plainly
Speaker 4: and have it.
Speaker 5: I think, I mean, I think that's kind of you know,
Speaker 5: the work we do in our hopefully do in our
Speaker 5: late thirties and forties, and you know, as we get older,
Speaker 5: is looking at that like, oh, you know, maybe like
Speaker 5: our parents weren't all good or all bad. Maybe everybody
Speaker 5: is a little bit of gray and that's and maybe
Speaker 5: every situation is so like I actually don't have to
Speaker 5: defend it and say it was perfect, but I also,
Speaker 5: you know, can talk about the stuff that wasn't so
Speaker 5: great and that not take away. You know. It's like
Speaker 5: working on therapy with a parent. You're like, I can't
Speaker 5: say anything terrible about him, and then you're like, well,
Speaker 5: actually there are a couple of days.
Speaker 4: These are hard emojis going up.
Speaker 3: Those are great. I like that the little oh look
Speaker 3: at the little yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 5: I feel like I can do so I do weird
Speaker 5: things on my zoom, and then things happen and I
Speaker 5: don't know, I think I turned it off though, before
Speaker 5: I start directing air traffic to us.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When New Kids Reunited in two thousand and eight, did
Speaker 1: that like heal any of this trauma with a little
Speaker 1: tea that we've been talking about. Because I think for
Speaker 1: Jodi and I when we went back to do Fuller House,
Speaker 1: I think that healed something to us because we were
Speaker 1: canceled at the last minute in the eighth season of
Speaker 1: Full House. We never got to do a proper finale.
Speaker 1: It was this huge loss for mean.
Speaker 6: You mean like the old school definition not but yeah, not.
Speaker 5: We weren't canceled a as far as like now actually
Speaker 5: cancel canceled.
Speaker 3: Show was canceled.
Speaker 5: No no, no, no, no no no, We personally were not canceled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm working on it.
Speaker 4: No canceled, just meant your show is not going to.
Speaker 3: Go right right. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well that wraps up part one of our interview with
Speaker 5: Joey McIntyre. But please don't go girl, because Parts Wyo
