Oh my gosh, it's a big moment 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: for us. Okay, pretty much deciding podcasting moment of all time. 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: Can we just start like this, just like hit record, 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: Let's go. I think this might be the most exciting 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: moment of our lives. Let alone podcast. We're matching clothes. Yeah, 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: we shop at the same place. One's Kentucky and one's Nantucket. 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: But we will say, well they both say Nantucket. Okay, 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: not know how to read. That was so on brand 10 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: for Eric it is I can sound out most things Nantucket. Nice, 11 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: you guys plan this. No, So we're visiting her sister's fiance. 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: They get a family home in Nantuckets. We are visiting 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: for the day, so of course we're like super tourists 14 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: and get Nantucket shirts. Love Nantucket, Nantucket shirt in Nantucket. Yeah, 15 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: we're quite pathetic. Yeah, I know, right. I brought my 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: Nantucket shirt to wear and then he this spot one 17 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: the shirt of the band you're at the concert world shirts. 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: Then it would be okay, wait, that is actually a 19 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: great question. I've always been confused by people who wear 20 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: different band shirts to a concert and not the real 21 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: band they're seeing, or people who wear jerseys of a 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: different team than the team that they're seeing. Those people 23 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: make no sense at all. That's two different things. Yeah, 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't ye know, those are two different things, because 25 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: I actually I'm a big vintage T shirt person. Love 26 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: vintage T s. If I'm going to a concert and 27 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: I have a vintage T shirt of the band I'm 28 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: going to see, I'm going to wear that band's vintage. 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: But I would not buy the merch like in the 30 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: parking lot and then put that new merch on to 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: go into the concert. That's weird, exactly. I totally agree. 32 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: Are you a New Kids on the Block fan? Um? 33 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean yes, I'm a little young. You're a little young, 34 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: so I'm a little young too, and I weirdly got 35 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: into them. But that's like the band that I have 36 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: like true classic vintage cheese from and I get to 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: where their vintagechees their concerts. Now, I just made a 38 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: lot of money for a vintage New Kids on the 39 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: Block shirts. So the fact that you have real ones 40 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: like from did you really? Yeah? I did? Yeah? Oh 41 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: my gosh, you I okay, So I got into oh 42 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: my god, where this is the most all over podcast ever. 43 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: But I love it. When I got into them, it 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: was two thousand four, so between they're breaking up and 45 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: their reuniting, so I was able to get like t 46 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: T shirts on eBay at the time that are now 47 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: go for like two hundred dollars. That's so cool. You're 48 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: really they were the old kids on the block by 49 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: two thousand four, weren't they? Yes? I mean really now, yeah, 50 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: I know I feel bad even saying that they're very 51 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: old kids on the block. Now, guys, this is exactly 52 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: how we imagined our conversation with you all going like 53 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: our best friends.

We brought it 63 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: up early in Paradise when we were talking about it, 64 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: and then eventually we started sort of calling each other 65 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: Corey and Topanga even when we weren't together, like when 66 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: we when we had known each other for nine months 67 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: and things are really confusing. On my birthday, he sent 68 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: me a bouquet of roses signed your Corey. I didn't. Yes, Well, 69 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: it's a little background on us. So Ashley and I 70 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: are part of the Bachelor franchise. We met on a 71 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: show called bachelom Paratis, but we didn't start actually dating 72 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: until after the show, and there's like a little complicated. 73 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: We were friends for a couple of years before we 74 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: got together and now we've been married for over three 75 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: years and we have a six month old son who's 76 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: almost seven months, which is crazy. Um. We tried to 77 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: get need to crawl today unsuccessfully. He started bawling his 78 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: eyes out, but he's getting there. Um. But yeah, I mean, 79 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: boy world has been such a big part of our lives. 80 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: And uh, if you have a question for you, had 81 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: you guys already called each other Corey in t Pengo 82 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: when you sent that bouquet or did you? Was that 83 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: like a really forward move to say your Corey it 84 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: was a forward move. It was definitely intentionally, Uh, tell something. 85 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: I feel like that's not something you get to tell someone. 86 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: Someone has to tell you that you're my Corey. Somebody 87 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: guess what I'm your Corey that if someone says that 88 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 1: I'm a little like I will determine that. Okay, Yeah, 89 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: I was just laying out the groundwork. Anybody listening, Yeah, 90 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: anybody listening who follows bull shows now understands why I 91 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: was so crazy and Bachelor in Paradise Sason three. We've 92 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 1: talked about, okay, anyway, alright, alright, there's a Aaron question 93 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: that I just came up with. We are just going 94 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: to I have another podcast it's called I Don't Get It, 95 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: in which I just ramble about things, and today is 96 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: our ramble with with you guys, if that's okay. So 97 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: my first question that just popped up, Wise, we were 98 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: discussing the seriousness that is calling somebody a Corey or 99 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: a Topanga is uh, have you guys discussed on your 100 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: own podcast, get the weirdness that happened where Corey and 101 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: Topanga were young kids and they didn't date right, and 102 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they're dating and somewhere along 103 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: those lines, they went from Corey always making fun of 104 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: Topanga and not wanting to be with her, and then 105 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're dating and that never happened. 106 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: And the older episodes, you guys make it seem like 107 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: you were together since like elementary school, but I don't 108 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: think that was the case. Please explain two different little sisters. 109 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: Our our our little brother Josh was six months old 110 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: and then he was four ten in the last episode's throwing, 111 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: Mr Phoenie was our teacher all the way through college. 112 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: College Phoenie just kept getting promotions.

But we've been together forever, together since Kydergarten. 116 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: I think what we've definitely realized is that the nineties 117 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: we're like really embraced gas lighting through the media. When 118 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: we just what, you will believe whatever we tell you. 119 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean we will hit those moments like 120 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: what We're really trying to not jump too far ahead. 121 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: We're only in episode ten of season one right now, 122 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: and when yes, we have talked about the fact that 123 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: oh wow.

You know, it seems like their friendship is 126 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: developing now. And certainly when we get to the first 127 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: time that it gets mentioned that we fell in love 128 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,559 Speaker 1: at the Sandbox three, we will then out alright, continuity error. 129 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: Now you know, we're we're hitting all of those, but 130 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: we're doing them when we come to them.

You know? 166 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: What's so funny is that as soon as we popped 167 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: up on the screen he said start video, I immediately 168 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: saw the shirts, and I'm like, oh no, right now. Well, 169 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, whenever, whenever underpants or underwear comes up in 170 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: our lives, we go jas. Hey, that's a perfect example 171 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: of an episode that I don't remember all the details of, 172 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: but I know I already have like Agita thinking about 173 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: when we discuss it, because how come no one talks 174 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: about how weird it was that I was sitting under 175 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: a blanket with Sean in his in his boxers. It's weird, 176 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: It's weird. Why why was that happening? It was cold? 177 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 1: That was the episode where we make out for some 178 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: video that the Yes, it's such a bizarre episode. The 179 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: whole thing is about him being jealous of you and me, 180 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: and we can keep the one the problem. Don't do 181 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: this now, we'll get to I'm sorry on the show, 182 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: don't do don't do that yet. Yeah, you're right, two 183 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: thout four, we'll be discussing this. People to listen to 184 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: this writer, how do you remember stuff like this when 185 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: you have admitted on your podcast that you have never 186 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: rewatched the episode, So how do you remember details that 187 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: that that has come up? That episode has come up 188 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: between Danielle and I because we were like, did we 189 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: we actually like kissed for an episode wright or didn't 190 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: remember it by the way, writer didn't remember it by 191 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: the way, right, It was like, wait, we were actually 192 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: kissed and I was liked he was like, oh, I 193 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: don't remember that. I was like sorry. So we discussed that, 194 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: um and and that opened up that whole episode. And 195 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: of course people say underpants all the time, so that's 196 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: one of those like record, it's so weird which things 197 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: stuck with people and how often they were the same 198 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: things that we loved on the set. So like people 199 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: come up all the time and say they want you 200 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: to take the roles, which was like a line that 201 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: we used to say to each other all the time, 202 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: every every single dinner where they bring a basket. Isn't 203 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: that hysteric? I mean, I guess it's just because it 204 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: is something that happens in restaurants and we were like, 205 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: it's just one of those. But for whatever reason, there's 206 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: like you know Tenner twelve lines and episodes that are 207 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: like really become part of the boy meets World fan culture, 208 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: and so I'm I'm well aware of those, you know, 209 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: Like we talked about the Scream episode the Halloween. It's 210 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: like a classic. I know every frame of that one 211 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: because I remembered so vividly, and then we watched it 212 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: for conventions and stuff. Uh, and I remember the finale 213 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: because we've we rewatched that at a convention and talked 214 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: about it. But yeah, in general, like we just we 215 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: we finally episode ten we just recorded. Are I have 216 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: no recollection of the episode, like literally none, and I 217 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: think probably from now on I won't remember any of them. 218 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: It will be like really bizarre. I have to ask Will. 219 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: This is a quote that I'm not sure is one 220 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: of the classic quotes, but it means a lot to 221 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: Jared and I because it was the only time I 222 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: laughed during my pregnancy. I had really really rough and 223 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: for comfort late at night when we're lying in bad 224 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: we'd read watched the World and there is the one 225 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: there's the one episode where you're doing the poetry reading, 226 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: which is the absolute most hilarious thing, and then you 227 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: go I was born. Oh I am born? Yeah a yeah, 228 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: he like pops out of the turn of neck. Remember that. 229 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: And the title of the show is like something like 230 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: watch it's Eric Matthews, look at me, look at Me, 231 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: A one woman show. Yeah. And you know what's funny 232 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: is the the reason I know that so well is 233 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: because the original poster Marquis is hanging framed fifteen feet 234 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: from me, so I have it in the it's in 235 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: my house.

What about mommy Daddy Corey? 242 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: You know, like when you're like, I'm not looking at anyone, 243 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to accuse you of not being best 244 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: man material And they're like those who don't think I'm 245 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: best man materials shall remain nameless. Mommy Daddy Corey. Wow. 246 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: Whenever we're like whenever we're trying to like slightly like 247 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: at somebody we go like, we're like, we're like Jared 248 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: Nancy Fred you know, yeah, we always call him out 249 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: exactly like that. I think for Uce it's you know, 250 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: Boy Meets World. I want to ask you guys this 251 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: question because I think for me personally and for Ashley 252 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: as well, Boy Meets World. I don't want to speak 253 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: in like hyperbole, but it's really made my life so 254 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: much better. There are shows right for or movies that 255 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: you guys have grown up with or where you watch 256 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, if I like I could watch 257 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: this and just feel better about life, I don't know. 258 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: It's it's almost like going outside and getting fresh air 259 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: for me, and Boy Meets World does that for me. 260 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: And I think because of the writing of the show, 261 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: because of you guys, because of of you know, the 262 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: age that it came out with me. Um, you know, 263 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: it's and it's grown. Even rewatching the show, it's still 264 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: it's still so good. Do you I mean, you guys 265 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: are such in the early stage of this, but when 266 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: you rewatch the show, do you do you watch back 267 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: and think, wow, you know, like it really is just 268 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: that good. We were part of something so wonderful. Yeah, 269 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: I mean I think a big part of this podcast 270 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: from is for me to finally realized that, you know, 271 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: like I I didn't at the time, UM, I didn't 272 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: watch the show. I didn't watch TV really in general. UM. 273 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: And I spent my twenties like just sort of running 274 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: away from it, um and avoiding it just for personal reasons. 275 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: You know, I just wanted to like be a different 276 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: person and be myself. And now I can just look 277 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: back and be like, wow, there's I think there's a 278 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: good reason that people are still talking about this show. 279 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: You know that that the like what you know, really 280 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: what happened is we started doing conventions, which terrified me 281 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: and will sort of drag me kicking and screaming in 282 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: my first convention, And you know what scared me was 283 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: just fan interaction, Like I just didn't know what to expect. 284 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: We are quite creepy. No, exactly opposite. It's like an 285 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: incredibly positive feedback loop where I was suddenly like, oh, 286 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, this is amazing, Like people have memories and like, 287 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: like you're saying, it affected them in so many positive ways. UM, 288 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: And I'm able to appreciate the show for that, UM. 289 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: And then now watching the actual content of the show. 290 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: I can see why, Like I can see why, you know, 291 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't just I get you know, there's there's a 292 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: lot of shows that just went for the easy joke. 293 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: Boy Meea's World did go for a lot of good, 294 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: easy jokes, but it also never sold out its characters. 295 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: It's like it's it's so earnest, it's so dramatic. It's 296 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: both of those things and still very funny, and like 297 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: that is just kind of crazy, Like I don't know 298 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: any other show that managed to pull that off, you know, um, 299 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: And so it's it's kind of miraculous. I think it's 300 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: it's one of the kind. So when I talked about 301 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: my childhood shows, it's Boy Meat's World, Full House and 302 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: growing Pains, And I feel like the difference between the 303 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: other two are that the lessons are done and a 304 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: little it's a little corny. It doesn't age as well 305 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: as Boy Meets World. When I think back and watch 306 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: all these episodes of all three shows, the one that 307 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: we're most looking forward to sharing with our son is 308 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: Boy Meat's World because the lessons are just done so well. 309 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: It's so well scripted, it's well acted, and there's always 310 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: like every sorry we're like stealing the podcast for you guys. 311 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: We want to interview you. But you know, we love 312 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: the show so much and we love you guys that 313 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: it's there's so much heart in the show. You know, 314 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: there's a heartbeat with the Boy Means World that really 315 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: goes throughout the entirety of the show, which is very rare. 316 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of times we talk about 317 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: the rewatchability factors that shows movies, and you rewatch something, 318 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, that didn't age well or this didn't 319 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: do that. And I'm sure there's gonna be episodes where 320 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: you guys bring up and you're like, I don't know 321 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: if that was the best. You know, it's definitely a 322 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: product of its time. But I feel like there's so 323 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: much within within this show and within these characters that 324 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: just is still like we could show our son Dawson 325 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: today and be like, yeah, that still pertains to today, 326 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: and that's what you want to be, you know, like 327 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: even as an adult, you know, I look at something 328 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: someone like Alan and as a father figure. Yeah, I'm 329 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: not joking. There's so many times like with Alan and 330 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: Sean and how he talks to you or how he 331 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: treats like I remember Will Will there was an episode 332 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: with UM with Eric. I think it was maybe we're 333 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,719 Speaker 1: working at the shop, but where like you felt that 334 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: he loved, like he sided with Corey Moore and you 335 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: felt like the second child, so to speak, and like 336 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: the way he addressed that, handled that situation. And and 337 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: of course like with the Panga and Corey, like we 338 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: draw in so many of our own, um you know, 339 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: personal things in our life, and we we related to 340 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: so much what you guys were going through and and uh, 341 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, it means a lot to me. 342 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: And like the characters of the show. That's also the 343 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: cool things, like I see, I think there's so the 344 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: characters are so well written. You guys did such a 345 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: good job with each character that like I see myself 346 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: a little bit in Sean and Eric and Corey and 347 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: to Panga and Angela and Peenie and Alan, and so 348 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: it's it's very rare where like there's all these different 349 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: episodes where I'm like, yeah, I can relate to that person, 350 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: but I can also relate to them and so on 351 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: and so forth. You also, like all the characters, there's 352 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: nobody that you're just like a that was a week link. Yeah, yeah, No, 353 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: it's true. I think we were happy, you know, and 354 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: we all just kind of fell into our roles too. 355 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: And I think as we grew together. That's one of 356 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: the things I love about Boy's World is I'm I'm 357 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: a television addict, and a lot of television shows, I mean, 358 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: some of the greatest television shows of all time get 359 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: worse as the show progresses, like the seasons, the writing 360 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: gets worse, and it's just not as good. Um, and 361 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: Boy Meats World, I thought was the opposite. Frankly, I 362 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: thought we were. Some people disagree, they like the earlier 363 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: episodes better, but I thought as actors and the writing, 364 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: I thought we were hitting our stride later when we 365 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: were all together. Um. And that's rare in the TV 366 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: world that we kind of got better as the show 367 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: went on. Um. I'd also like to point out that 368 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: you say you're super fans and that you named your 369 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: kid after Dawson's Creek. We won't talk about that. I 370 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: named our kid after Jack Dawson from Titanic. There you go, 371 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: another nineties reference. I'm telling you, Um, poor guy, Poor guy, 372 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: didn't I was listening to I was listening to writer 373 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: talk about how he feels about the show now, and 374 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: like when he was saying, it was so earnest, liston 375 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: and funny. And it's funny because I was thinking, I 376 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: hadn't really ever thought about this, but like I wonder, 377 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: like it's a little chicken or the egg with us. 378 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: But Writer, Will and myself are all very What you 379 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: see is what you get, honest, earnest, genuine um and 380 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: I it's a rare situation that you would cast a 381 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: show and get people who like just naturally are all 382 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: those things. So yeah, and actually kind of embody the show. 383 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: And so I'm sure saying true teacher, And that's a 384 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: great question, Writer, like, did you guys define the show 385 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: or did maybe the show start to finding you in 386 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: your personal life, because I'm sure obviously you guys were 387 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: on the show at a young age and grew up 388 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: with it. I'm curious to hear from you guys if 389 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: you think that maybe it's you guys, And I think 390 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,479 Speaker 1: you would have asked the writer and I if you 391 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: were to have asked us that any time between being 392 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: on the show and maybe two years ago, I think 393 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: we would have been insulted to to think that the 394 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: show could have possibly had such an impact on us. 395 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: Yet and yet, now having kids of my own, and 396 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: and just knowing myself well enough to know how I 397 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: have been impacted by the things in my life. I 398 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: really I think it. I think it may have had 399 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: way more of an impact on who I have become 400 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: over the years than I ever would have realized at 401 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: the time. Too. I always knew that, Well, you're a 402 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: little bit older, do you do you feel like that 403 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: you were a little bit more separated from the character 404 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: in your life. Now I want to go around the 405 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: circle and say, how were you, guys different from your characters? 406 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: Because I'm talking to you, guys, I feel the characters 407 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: so defined, but like, yeah, so go around the circle 408 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: and say, like, how you most differ from your character? 409 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: Go ahead? Will oh you want me to go for? No? 410 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: I I hope I'm different than Eric at least towards 411 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: the end. Um. Yeah, Eric was was. He had a 412 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: great heart, and that's how I like to think I 413 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: am very much like Eric. He was. He was also 414 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: very honest and very earnest. Um. But I mean by 415 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: the end he was he was essentially which again was 416 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: a lot like me in real life, he was a 417 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: walking comic book character. He's a cartoon um, And that's okay, 418 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: that's a wonderful thing. I mean, it was live action 419 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: ron Stoppable from Kim Possible was Eric towards the end, 420 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: So that's I mean, that's that's not a bad thing 421 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: at all. It's a wonderful sitcom character to play. Um. 422 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: But there isn't a whole lot about Eric, especially towards 423 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: the end that other than the heart, I'd like to 424 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: think we had the same kind of heart. We had 425 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: the same love of family, um, you know, same uh 426 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: kind of honesty with your friends. I think Eric's like that. 427 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: But he was also just he's a goofball, which again 428 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: is a little bit me. I am certainly a goofball 429 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: and I love to make people laugh. But he took 430 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: it to kind of the extreme. So that's that's I 431 00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: think how I'm similar and different. Follow up question, how 432 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: did they go from Eric being a rather serious character 433 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: trying to woo girls seriously in high school to you 434 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: just being a total Mr Squirrels plays with squirrels in 435 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: the college years. Yeah, I think it's a couple of things. 436 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: One they don't didn't really know what Eric. None of 437 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: us knew what Eric was in the beginning. He was 438 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: kind of cardboard cutout older brother, sitcom older brother. Okay, 439 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: this is what it's going to be. He's going to 440 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: go after girls, he's going to care about how he looks. 441 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,479 Speaker 1: I mean, that was like what it was. And then 442 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: as they realized that I was kind of a wacky, 443 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: crazy guy, they started to write a little bit more 444 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: for me. And then I think when we always talked 445 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: about the two boy Meets World, there was there was 446 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: kind of the Corey to Panga, Sean Trina, you know, 447 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: angela kind of show, and then there was Jack Eric 448 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: and and um um Rachel kind of show. So when 449 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: it got more dramatic between Corey and Tapanga and Sean 450 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: and that cohole kind of they they wanted to then 451 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: it was kind of like cutting two and now dance 452 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: and so it was like then they'd cut to Eric 453 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: and it was like put him in a couch and 454 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: you know, now you're a coconut. Like it was like 455 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So it was just that was 456 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: kind of just being the comic break that was there. 457 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: Um and it was a ton of fun to play. 458 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: But there we both wanted to be each other's show. 459 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: So I remember talking to both Writer and Danielle like, man, 460 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: I wish I could do more dramatic stuff, and they're 461 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: both going like, I wish we could crack a joke 462 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: at some point, you know, like writers like I've been 463 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: an alcoholic for two episodes and joined a cult. Though, man, 464 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, throwing a pie great right around now? Um? Yeah, 465 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: so it's um, we we always wanted what the other 466 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: other team had. But yeah, that's I certainly the other. 467 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: The other quick answer is, um, there's an episode where 468 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: Eric actually is trapped in a in a car in 469 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: a snowstorm and he's being banging his head against the window, 470 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: and one of the actual theories is that he does 471 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: brain damage and that he's different after at than he 472 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: was before that interesting fan theory. Hanka, good god, Yeah, wow. 473 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: How do you think that you differ from Topanga? Uh? 474 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I was gonna say, I was 475 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: going to preface the that question by saying that I 476 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: think when when writers and when shows are really in 477 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: their groove, the writing becomes more tailored to the strengths 478 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: of the actor and and when the character starts being 479 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: a little modeled after the person portraying the character, and 480 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: I think that Topanga in the beginning was young Topanga, awesome, quirky, 481 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: unique flower child to Peanga was nothing like Danielle. Danielle 482 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: was a twelve year old want to be cheerleader and 483 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: Topanga was not that. Um. But as the season's progressed in, 484 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: Topanga became more mainstream, although she was always still strong 485 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: and independent technique um, when she became more like normal. Uh. 486 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: Topanga was written very similarly to who I was, um 487 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: and who I still think I am. I'm I'm you know, 488 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: although I wasn't as into school back then, I was 489 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: and I went to college late in life. I went 490 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: to college at twenty seven, and I don't somewhere along 491 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: the way to Panga fully infiltrated me, because while I 492 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: was on the show, I was like, school, sure, it's fine, 493 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: but like, if I didn't have to study, and that 494 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: meant I could get a B or even a C, 495 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: that was totally fine for me. If it meant I 496 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: was gonna have to really study, but then I was 497 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: going to get an A. I was like, who needs 498 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: the a's whatever? Bees are fine? Um. Then later in life, 499 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: going to college. I cried. I got two bees in 500 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: all of college, and I cried both times. Um, very 501 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: it was the most I would say it out loud. 502 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: I was like, when did this happen? Where did this 503 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: come from? Why am I doing this? Why do I 504 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: even care? But I did. I became I became more 505 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: like to Banga later in life. Um. I always describe 506 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: her as just being on the other side of my heart, 507 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: because that is very much what it feels like. It 508 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: feels like she is someone separate from me, but she's 509 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: also very easy for me to tap into. And I 510 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: don't really know where one of us starts in the 511 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: other ends? Writer, what about you? Watching the shows has 512 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: been very strange because I I don't know. I didn't 513 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: I didn't quite realize how quickly they developed Sean. We 514 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: just watched the tenth episode, and I thought, I thought 515 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: that Sean didn't get established as like being poor and 516 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: from a broken family for like at least two seasons. 517 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: But there it is. In the tenth episode, Shawn's dad 518 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: loses his job and it's already sort of tragic, and 519 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: he's already avoiding his emotions and being very dramatic. Uh So, 520 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: I guess it was always there, um, And I mean 521 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: I think I was always a very moody kid like 522 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: I don't, Yeah, I was. I took everything very seriously. 523 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: I was very earnest um and I was not I was. 524 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: I wasn't depressed like, I wasn't sad like I can. 525 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: I'm very happy with my parents and my family. So 526 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: I didn't have any of those sort of problems at 527 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: Sewan had. But in terms of like expressing myself very 528 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: vulnerably and you know, not posturing, uh, that was me. 529 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: You know. I was very vulnerable and open and I 530 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: you know, would cry all the time and tell my 531 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: male friends I love them, and you know, so all 532 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: those aspects of Sean are very similar. Oh that's so sweet. 533 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: I know that they're going to tell us to wrap 534 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: up now, so I have to squeeze this in. Even 535 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: if we do have extra time, well we'll add something else. 536 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: And but this was I thought it was very important, Okay, Danielle. 537 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: I remember reading Tiger Beat or bought magazine or something 538 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: when I was in fifth grade. And this was before 539 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: I moved over to the justin Timberlake side of in Sync, 540 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: and I was really crushing on Lance and I know 541 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: that you dated Lance because I saw you know, back then, 542 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: we didn't have Twitter, we didn't have reddit boards or 543 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: anything like this to give us like the current updated gossip. 544 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: And I think my heart sunk. I was like, Oh, 545 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 1: they're just friends. They're just friends because like because I'm 546 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: obviously going to marry Land, because you were going to 547 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: marry Lance of course, of course. And I was like, there, yeah, 548 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: they went to prom together, but they just went to 549 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: promise friends. But you guys actually did day and Lance 550 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: has told us a little bit about it, but I 551 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: want to know, like from your perspective, like, how was 552 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: that relationship? It was a beautiful relationship. I think Lance 553 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: was my first real love. I really, um, I absolutely 554 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: loved him. I really thought at Lance was going to 555 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: be somebody I like, he was going to be a 556 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: person I was gonna marry, Like I was gonna marry Lance. Um. 557 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: A lot of that had to do with the fact 558 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: that I my parents met when they were fifteen and 559 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: got married at twenty one and had me at twenty three, 560 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: and so growing up even though I had a very 561 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: different childhood than my parents did because neither of my parents, 562 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: no one in my family had been in entertainment, So 563 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: I was having a job or a career as a 564 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: teenager was not common in my family. So even though 565 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: that was very different, for some reason, I still thought 566 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: of myself as being someone who was going to get 567 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: married very young and have a family very young. And 568 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: Lance also had those same ideas that we talked to. 569 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: You know, we just kind of envisioned that we were 570 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: going to get married. And uh, I it's funny because 571 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: in hindsight, it's the sweetest most we it's the sweetest relationship, 572 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: and yet there there wasn't real romance there there were 573 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: for obvious Now what we know is obvious reasons. Lance 574 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: is gay, and um, he's always been gay. He at 575 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: the time wasn't, so I didn't. I didn't know that. 576 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: That's amazing. How is this not broken all over the 577 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: news everywhere? Oh the dryest seriously is so dry that 578 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: I took him seriously for a second.
