Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hey, Fanarritos, and welcome to an incredibly special episode of
How Rude Tanneritos. In case you're new here, I've been
carrying a torch for a very special person for the
last thirty six years. I first fell in love with
those baby blue eyes and curly mushroom top hair in
nineteen eighty eight when he sang the very first single

(00:41):
for New Kids on the Block, Please Don't Go Girl.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I've followed his career ever.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Since, and never in my wildest dreams did I think
I would ever meet him, let alone become friends with him.
And now here we are with him as my guest today.
He is the youngest member of New Kids on the Block,
but his talent extends far beyond the group.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
He is a true theater kid who.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Rose to become a leading man, lighting up TV, film
and the Broadway stage in hits like Wicked and Waitress.
He made two appearances on Fuller House, once with his
bandmates in the season two episode New Kids in the House,
and again in the series finale, when he officiated the
triple wedding in the Tanner Fuller Gibbler backyard. In addition

(01:25):
to his acting career, he has also released eight solo albums,
including his most recent Freedom, which he has described as
a reflection of self discovery and artistic independence, and he's
about to hit the road again with Phase two of
his Freedom Tour, kicking off September twenty ninth in Anaheim.

(01:45):
He is one of my favorite people in life. Watching
him on stage doing what he was clearly born to
do is one of my greatest joys. But when your
teenage crush turns out to be one of the most genuine,
kind hearted humans you could ever meet, well, now that's
a dream come true. It is my deepest honor to

(02:07):

Speaker 1 (05:04):
My answer, yeah, well, we became friends, not when we met,
but when we became you know, for buddies.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
I don't I think I thought about, like, I know,
would that be Yeah, it's like.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
First well, the first time was twenty elevel when you
did the video for us for Over the.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Mixtate twenty twelve.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
That was twenty twelve for Mixtape Mixtape Festival and Hershey.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Personally, that was like, oh my god, I can't believe.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
I don't remember like hanging out a hardcore before that.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
So okay, good, that's a genesis. Yeah, okay, He's.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Like, okay, good, I'm glad I passed that. Okay, And after.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
One and then we uh, I just thought it was
really cool that you jumped in and like was like,
you know, amazing at what you do and like part
of the whole gang. And since then it's been a
string of sitting on couches and trying to read each
other's minds.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
I guess. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well, my memory goes back to twenty thirteen when we
ran the Hollywood Half marathon.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
This is this is the.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Origin of our friendship because we were in that VIP room.
We got the great VIP treatment.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Oh we wasn't there.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
We were in a limo. Yes, I have the picture
of us that.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
You in twenty thirteen.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
It took us from the VIP suite to the starting
line and you and I had a conversation on the
way to the limo and to the star Line, and uh,
you were telling you were saying how nice it is
to have VIP bathrooms and I'm like, oh, yeah, because
those porta potties. Those are terrible. Nobody wants to do
the pre race poopers. And you said yeah, and I'm

(06:42):
a double number twur.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
A double number two.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yes, And then you said, I think we're officially friends
now because this is the most personal I've ever gotten
with anyone. So that's when we became friends. When you
told me that you're a double number two.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
I mean, you know, I'm surprised you don't remember that
shoe because you're never gonna forget it after today.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
Yeah, that one was yeah, well there you go. There's
gonna be hashtags of that momentarily.

Speaker 4 (07:10):

Speaker 6 (07:13):
I mean, you know, I'm I'm known for better or
for worse for my sarcasm, and you know, Andrea is
a heavyweight in that department too, so we kind of
I remember that car ride because it's like we jumped
right in and it was sort of like a free
for all. I don't think we were going at each

(07:35):
other necessarily, we were in for a good time. What
are we doing in a limo before a thirteen mile
run on Hollywood Boulevard. It was nothing is random, but
you know that would be in the random category.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Sure, yeah, for sure that was a great That was
a great memory.

Are you still running?

Speaker 2 (07:54):

nine year old knees now, so I don't. I don't.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
Yes, I took I took a big break, but I'm
getting back at it. Actually I did like ten eleven miles.
The other way, of course, the recovery is like casual.

Speaker 5 (08:12):

Like it was in that room to like even like

Speaker 6 (12:37):
But I did get an amazing selfie with him, and
like I had never met him, really, I might have
met him at Jeff's house, Jeff Franklin's house. Yeah, but
not too much. And it's so funny because if you don't,
if you don't know him, he's just this sweet, affable
guy and you don't, you know, it's so separate from

(13:01):
you know, the.

Speaker 4 (13:02):

a one named person and it's stamos.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Children do age you, That's really what they do.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
They do, Yeah, they sure do. Well.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
It was such a natural fit to have you and
your bandmates on Puller House because there's such a crossover
between Full House fans and New Kids fans, and it's
multi generational.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Like talk about job security for all of us.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
It's got I'm so glad. Everyone wishes it was the
nineties again.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, you've got your mom's taking their daughters to see
you in concert. You've got parents who grew up watching
Full House are now introducing their kids to the show.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
And it's just this wonderful feeling.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (16:09):
What is that like for you to.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
Well, to see the first the first time we were
on Fuller House, you know I was.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
My kids were you know, obviously younger, they're teenagers now,
but you know, there was lots of you know, soccer
games and baseball games, and so immediately, you know, I
would be at the soccer game or whatever, and like
it just became a habit.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
People would run up and go who are you?

Speaker 6 (16:38):
You know, and it was all because I was on
Fuller House, you know, it was it was completely they
had no idea who I was otherwise, so I had
this whole other wave of you know, recognition, which was cute.
And it was so street of you guys too, especially
the you know, the first episode to just get right
to it and and it was kind of nice. It

(16:59):
was like, you know, I think you had mentioned it before,
you know how the Beach Boys the first time around
were such a you know for stay Mos and and
like even to even to have that same.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
Vibe that like we kind of had that vibe you.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Guys, there's a band that kind of has made a
couple appearances that is like a through line through the show.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
It was, I mean, talk about an honor to just
kind of be maybe you know, accidentally confused in that vibe.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
It was. It was really sweet that you guys did that.

Speaker 6 (17:32):
And you know, obviously us coming back, you know after
so many years, there were there were a lot of
like you know, behind the scenes similarities and things. And
then and then for everybody that you know, the audience,
like you say, you know, we were really kind of
like on parallel you know paths there, you know.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
Vibe wise, Yeah, definitely same like age bracket of fays
and nostalgia.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Now and all of that kind of stuff.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
So yeah, I always say it's now people our age
that are you know, have moved up to running studios
or our executive producing or whatever. They're like, ooh, oh,
you know, I want to see Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
I say that all the time. Now.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
First of all, when the New Kids came back in
two thousand and eight, and we kind of were building
towards something and you know, we we had enough you know,
I guess self esteem and confidence in ourselves that we
you know, we had somewhat of a plan. But all
at that time, our our fans were not yet the

(18:42):
CEOs and running, but.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
They were assistants.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
They were they were the people that ran into their
boss's office and said, no, this is legit, Like right,
I forget so in that same vibe, you know, I
say it all the time, like our you know, we
are you know, the tentacles are out. It's like they're
in there and and part of the culture. And yes,
I concur we've been very lucky.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
M do you know do you know?

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Why do I?

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Why do I know that donut? What did? Why do

Behindimmy gibbler? That's why?

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, okay, it is.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
It's an infamous can we get sorry?

Speaker 6 (19:23):
You know I have so many you know, nick knacks.
I was in another room, right, and you guys, can
you know I wanted to do something. I don't want
the because I do all the zooms in the this
room and I'm like, what other angle can be somewhat different?
And I said, let me go to another room and
it had this fun wall paper and then I was
there was Nickknacks, and I was curating the knickknacks, you know,

(19:45):
at eight in the morning. And then I realized there's
no there's no doors on this particular room in my
My daughter is homeschooled.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
We're not weird, we're normal people. Normal home school.

Speaker 5 (20:00):

like that.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
She's a fantastic gymnast. So yeah, it's just that's that's
the call. So anyways, but she's.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
In the other room and I said, oh, I can't
do this, you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (20:16):
My wife is going to give me the stink eye
within five seconds and then I'm going to have to
move the whole setup. So I went back here and
I was like, you know, you know I threw this
up here.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
I don't know. I don't know where this came from. Well, Yoda, Okay,
I shouldn't say that because I don't want to.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Is that Yoda as a statue of liberty? It looks green?

Speaker 6 (20:38):
The funny thing you say, I had a statue of
liberty in the other room that I could have brought it.
It's what I want to see, is seeking you?

Speaker 4 (20:47):
Yeah, it's it's yeah, you blue.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Sometimes it's like that dress. Is it gold or white?

Speaker 4 (20:54):

so you can't see that I have my album up
from my room. That's very kind of you, very kind.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
I bought the CD and I don't even own a
CD player, so I know it isn't that weird.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
But there's a nice there's a nice, fulled out poster
that you have over your bedroom, right your bed.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Well, yeah, yes, you know I have to take that down.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
I mean, I'm not going to say no, but you
know no.

Speaker 6 (21:38):
I saw yesterday and I'm sure you guys know that.
And I can't think of anybody's name right now. So
you know that's a hundred thousand dollars pyramid me right.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
And I'm losing all the money.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
Okay, the guy from Workaholics and.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Very very funny guy. He was in Pitch Perfect.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
We'll have a produce hot.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
I've never seen this is you?

Speaker 4 (22:12):
Okay, oh my god? You know what I didn't know.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
I didn't know if I'd ever do a podcast, But
I'm going to do a podcast now, just because your
producer popped up a text immediately and said, Adam divine.

Speaker 5 (22:28):
Now, okay, this is Maddie is our brain?

Speaker 3 (22:32):
So many times.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
We're like, I don't know, did we do She's like, type, yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
You've done a podcast. You've did you hosted a podcast
for a Hot Minute on the Move. I was one
of your first guests.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
I just want to say, no, you're Your way of
finding things out is so much more classier than Joe Rogan.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
You know what they pull that up well. Adam divine.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
So when he auditioned for Pitch Perfect, I love that
you guys don't know this.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, I'm on the edge of.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Oblivious.

Speaker 6 (23:06):
So he was on Workaholics. He's like, he got the audition.
He's like, no, I don't want to. I don't want
to do it. I love my show whatever. Pitch Perfect.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
He thought it was a baseball movie, right, I was like.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
So he shows up and he sees all these cute
boys like ready to audition, and he read he didn't
read the side, so he reads the sides, learns the
sides really quick.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
He's like, all right, this isn't a freaking baseball movie.

Speaker 6 (23:29):
And so he does well on the audition, big surprise,
and they go, well, will.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
You sing something?

Speaker 6 (23:36):
And he's like, oh man, I don't know what to sing,
Like you know, all right? And he's sanging in this.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
Big, like growy, you know, soulful voice. He sang the
theme song to full house.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
I have heard this story, actually, but I didn't know. Yes,
I have heard the I of.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
Course it killed in the room.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
And history everybody knows the lyrics look.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
Basically, So basically we made Adam Devine.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
I'm just saying like that.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
We'll take credit for that.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
He has still been on Workaholic season fifteen.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
And oh yeah, that's that's sure.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
When speaking of theme songs, and we're rolling here right,
we're just oh no, we just.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
We have been doing this interview since the moment you
popped up.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Don't even worry about it.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Soon, he notes out of the door.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Tell you what our fan of Ritos expect, nothing more.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, I wouldn't do it.

Speaker 6 (24:43):
I kind of wish it was Andrea because it would
have been I would have busted her chops more, Candice,
it would have It didn't whatever, But for some reason,
when she came to Vegas.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
And she was backstage, I came.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
Out into the hall and I told her in my
mind the theme song that I took again.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Because I'm older than you guys, are.

Speaker 6 (25:06):
You take the good you take the bad take the
volunt there you have the facts of the life life.
But I wouldn't if there was a gun into my head.
I could not sing Full House theme song, you know
what I mean? You know what I mean, Like Jody
doesn't like the New Kids, I don't know the full
you know, full House theme something.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
Shockingly large portion of the cast probably doesn't even nothing personal.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
No, I'm just kidding, but I just think it's like, uh,
I thought that was kind of random.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Look, I had it's a Small World stuck in my
head last night. I don't know why. I don't know
how it got in there. So talking about random things
that pop.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
Into your head, you just never know what it's going
to be. Sometimes it's the full House theme song. Sometimes
it's just it's a small World over and over again.
And I that's when I need to take my meds.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
I want to I want to hear method Man sing
a Small World.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
So do I.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
And you know what, thankfully there's that could absolutely one
do that, and it's probably gonna be really weird.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
Be here for Mark on that because Donnie's good friends
with method Man.

Speaker 6 (26:09):
Actually he's been on Blue Buds a couple of times,
so nice yeah, I'm gonna do it the old fashioned way.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
I'm going to text Donnie to text method man.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yes, oh I met him. I won dropped the mic.
I met him.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
When I did that show and it was awesome and
I was I was so honored.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
And then he even said on a.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Late night show they I think it was Kimmel maybe
asked him like, who was the most surprising guest you
had on and he said, uh, it was me so.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Nice Sweetheart. I battled Joey Fatone.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Oh yes, I remember, Yeah, I do buried him.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
I buried him.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
Yeah, no, I really. I was really proud of myself. Actually,
our producer Jensen Cart was also a producer on that show.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yeah yeah, yeah, anyway, enough about me. Back to Joe.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Normally, our producer Mattie, she'll do like a rundown for
us for every guest with a little bio and like
some starter questions and stuff.

Speaker 5 (27:13):
I usually don't really read them until we're like in
the interview, right I prepped.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Oh yeah, well I was the whole Rundown'm like, Mattie,
don't touch this. I am writing the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's normally like a page, page and a half.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Your rundown is six pages, color coated with a legend.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
And a safe word.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
There's a there was a she gave me a safe word, Joe,
because I sometimes will go on tangents bit potentially funny
ones sometimes, but sometimes I we'll veer a little.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Far off to the side, that to the side.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
And so she was like, I'm giving you a safe
word that if.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
I type it in the chat, you have to be quiet.
So that was why now I pivoted real quick back
to you after.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
We'd spend a moment on me, because I was like,
I'm going to get the safe word here.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Shut up?

Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, good, good, All right.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
First, I just want to remind you if you don't,
I think you know this, but I'm going to tell
our listeners because they don't know this, that in the
original pitch for Fuller House, Jimmy Gibbler was supposed to
have the way you.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
I just want to say it. I'm bearing, I'm bearing good.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Are you going to give him a safe Joe?

Speaker 4 (28:27):
You're about to do a live ad? Oh?

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Because I went in former.

Speaker 5 (28:35):
Mode, that's why, right, so right right, yeah, And if
you drink this tea you'll also yourself.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
No, sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
You want to be a double number two?

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Talk about a double? Yeah? No, sorry, all right, jesus.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
I'm gonna mute my mic.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
No no, no, don't absolutely don't transition back into my.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Very are not our specialty? Yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
In the original pitch for Her House, Jimmy Gibbler was
supposed to have five ex husbands and one of them
was a Joey McIntyre impersonator.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
So funny, and we were going to ask.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
You to play the role. Did I think I told
you this one time backstage in a concert and.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh that would have been great.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Would you have accepted this role?

Speaker 4 (29:17):
I think I think no.

Speaker 6 (29:19):
No, you were furious that I didn't drop everything, quit everything,
go back home and just wait for the phone to ring.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Like literally, that was your reaction.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
It wasn't like yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
You know, streamers out of the way, remember as an idea.
She was pissed that I wasn't all in on the.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Pitch, right right right. She was like when did you
do it?

Speaker 5 (29:42):
And you were like She's like I can't believe you,
and you're like, oh yeah, but.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
She literally like wanted me to sign.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
I had a docu sign ready waiting was a color
coded didn't have a safe word.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
That is fun. That is a very funny bit. I
like that. I would have I would have.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Done it it agreed, hilarious. Well, yeah, they nixed that
idea for whatever reason.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
Yeah, we should have had the Olsen twins come on
as a Michelle impersonators and maybe they might have done
it and then like it's not really them, It's just
an impersonator, right.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Would have been great.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
No, that would have been really funny, funny twist.

Speaker 6 (30:19):
Did you say, did somebody must have pitched actually bringing
them on?

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Oh they were asked. Yeah, they were asked. They're like,
we're not actors anymore.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
People actors playing them.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yes, it was like a very very long shot. No,
there were there were a couple like ideas back and forth,
and then we were like we can't, we cannot, we can't.

Speaker 7 (30:48):
Do you Love Sex in the City. Now you can
relive the magic from the very beginning, every date, every heartbreak,
every Cosmopolitan with me Kristin Davis aka Charlotte Yorick on
my podcast Are You a Charlotte. I'm rediscovering the show
that we all love so much. Episode by episode. Open
your free iHeartRadio app search are you a Charlotte and

(31:11):
listen now.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
So the three of us share, three of us share
a very special bond, like this unspoken connection because we
all grew up in the spotlight and there's not many
people in the world that you can talk to and
have this sort of unspoken connection.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
And I'm reminded every once.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
In a while of that, Yeah, I grew up not
I with not a normal childhood, and I know you
can relate to that too, Joe.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
And so I'm what I'm thinking of is when your bandmates.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Through you the graduation, your high school graduation in London
while you're on tour, and how that's so that's not
how most people graduate from high school.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
So yeah, how do you look back on that now?
And do you have any regrets? Would you change anything?

Speaker 4 (32:04):
Regrets?

Speaker 6 (32:12):
You know, I don't want to say something corny like
I don't believe in regrets because blah blah blah. Sometimes
I'd say that because like I want to defend, like
whatever I did was mine and my choice.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
You know, you know I think it.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
I think all these choices back then, whoever made them?
You know, we us, the world whatever, h they cost, right,
you can't you know they had a cost. And you
know I often say about the picture that I took
of the it's somewhere. I mean, I'm pretty good at
keeping things. I think subconsciously, I I lost it because

(32:50):
I'm holding the diploma and they gave me like a
hat and I'm white as a ghost. Were like in
the middle of like ten shows at Wembley and I'm eighteen,
like dark circles under my eyes, white, just white and
to boot I had my first serious girlfriend at the time,

(33:13):
who was in California, and.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
I was on the phone too.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
I was gonna say, yeah, she knows when you know
what I mean that time change at eight hours.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
It was like a first relationship and like she was
the best, but like you know, she if she.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
Could just keep me on the phone, everything would be fine,
you know what I mean. And of course I had
my own issues of like not having the tools to
go love you for the seventeen thousand times.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
But I got to go to bed, you.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
Know what I mean, five of the morning and then
you wake up at three four in the afternoon, and
it's so I mean, luckily, you know, there was never
drugs and alcohol like in our world back then, but
like it came.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
Out in other ways, you know what I mean, the
function came out in other ways.

Speaker 6 (34:03):
So you know, it was it wasn't easy, and I
think the recovery from that was took years, you know.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
I mean you still functioned and you still did other things,
but there was.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
You know, it takes a while to pick it all apart.
Andrea uh says, we're what recovering child stars or something
because and not like recovering you know, we always say
like it's not like with some from some deep, dark,
terrible thing. It's just like all of us recovering from
childhood trauma with a big tea or a little tea. Yeah,
it takes you, not until you're kind of an adult

(34:41):
to really pick it apart and be able to dissect
it and look at it and maybe how it could
have been different, should have been different.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Was actually pretty cool, you know, so I think exactly
it's yeah, but it is.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
It's such a unique way to have to get to
know yourself at a time when you're really trying to.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Figure out who you are.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
You have everybody in your ear and in the world
kind of telling you who that person is and so
it's I think it's a weird time for like self
identity for young people.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
It's complicated, I think so.

Speaker 6 (35:19):
And I think, you know, talking about it with you guys,
I mean I think very differently, you know, experience for
a girl, young young a guy, you know what I mean, right,
not easier whatever, But I would take the dude route,
you know what I mean at that age, right, because

(35:40):
girls are so much you know, further ahead emotionally, you know, yes,
and no, they still have to they need their safe
place and and and and so.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
But to to go through it at.

Speaker 6 (35:52):
You know, as as a young woman is it must be.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
I was just gonna say, like, fame in general, I
think on women is harder, you know, just looks wise
and you know, picking you apart or whatever.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, Well, luckily we didn't have social media back in
the eighties and nineties, as I would not.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
I don't know if i'd want to do be a
child star social.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
I certainly I'm boy.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
I'm glad there were cameras.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
There's the bad blurry.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
I want to I do want to push back a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Okay, okay, do it, let's fight.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Guy, bring it.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
But you guys had so many screaming, crazy girl fans
that's also got to be weird and a lot.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
Listen, I'm off the hook because I have seven older
sisters and like I know, you know, I I completely
celebrate the power and.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Grace and amazingness of women. But like.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
You know, this business is hard for anyone. Well, there's
a role for everybody. I wanted to say, as far
as where is the you know, growing up you know,
famous or you know, and looking back, I said it,
I said it out loud yesterday, but I heard.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
It from someone else, because we hear it all from
someone else.

Speaker 6 (37:14):
But you know, this idea that two things can be
true at the same time now, and I think that's
part of the recovery process and part of like claiming
our space and finding who we are and right sizing
it all is like and I heard you say that,
you know what I mean, That's what made me think
of it.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
You were like, yeah, it was awesome and it was
painful at the same time, you know, And it's nice
to be able to just you know, say that plainly
and have it.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
I think, I mean, I think that's kind of you know,
the work we do in our hopefully do in our
late thirties and forties, and you know, as we get older,
is looking at that like, oh, you know, maybe like
our parents weren't all good or all bad. Maybe everybody
is a little bit of gray and that's and maybe
every situation is so like I actually don't have to

(38:10):
defend it and say it was perfect, but I also,
you know, can talk about the stuff that wasn't so
great and that not take away. You know. It's like
working on therapy with a parent. You're like, I can't
say anything terrible about him, and then you're like, well,
actually there are a couple of days.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
These are hard emojis going up.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
Those are great. I like that the little oh look
at the little yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
I feel like I can do so I do weird
things on my zoom, and then things happen and I
don't know, I think I turned it off though, before
I start directing air traffic to us.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
When New Kids Reunited in two thousand and eight, did
that like heal any of this trauma with a little
tea that we've been talking about. Because I think for
Jodi and I when we went back to do Fuller House,
I think that healed something to us because we were
canceled at the last minute in the eighth season of
Full House. We never got to do a proper finale.

(39:05):
It was this huge loss for mean.

Speaker 6 (39:07):
You mean like the old school definition not but yeah, not.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
We weren't canceled a as far as like now actually
cancel canceled.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Show was canceled.

Speaker 5 (39:18):
No no, no, no, no no no, We personally were not canceled.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Yeah, I'm working on it.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
No canceled, just meant your show is not going to.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Go right right. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
Well that wraps up part one of our interview with
Joey McIntyre. But please don't go girl, because Parts Wyo
was coming out this Friday and you do not want
to miss the rest of this dream interview. So in
the meantime, if you want to find us on Instagram.
