episode of How Rude Tanner Ritos. Today, we have a

obnoxious but lovable friend, Aaron Bailey. It's Miko Hughes on
the podcast today. Now that we're getting into season four

say it's been? I mean, when was your I.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Was seven on the last episode I was on it
was it was I think four to seven something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
So, oh my god, yeah, over thirty years. Wow, we.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Just started recapping season four and you started in season three.
So we've just met Aaron, the character of Aaron a
few episodes, I think it was.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
We met Aaron? Was it at the Was it the
episode where Michelle lets the bird out?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
But yeah, yeah, right the man.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Sequentially, are you working your way through it?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, the pilot and we're working our way.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
We don't remember we watched the show. We you know,
you know how it is you do it.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And then because I feel the same way, people will
like quote things or tell me things and that I
completely forgot. And yeah, kind of to prepare for this,
I started watching some I wanted to watch all the episodes,
but I kind of ran out of time.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But I did get through like the first couple two
or three.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
So yeah, it's been so much fun to do. Yeah,
it's been so much fun to go back and like
watch all this stuff because, yeah, you I don't remember
half the stuff I did. And you know, fans have
watched these shows over and over and over again, and
we're just like going back and watching them, like, oh
my god, we did that.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, it's moments too. Yeah, it is like home movies.
It's a trip.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
It's such a trip. It's such a trip.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And I have to keep reminding myself you were younger
than Jody. What because Jody started a full house when
she was five, and you said.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You were four.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
First.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, so you were a lot and you started acting
so young too, twenty two months.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Those were the cool older kids.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I remember, like the few times we would hang out,
I was like, Oh, they're like the cool older kids.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
They got it all figured out.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Oh that's only knew. Sure, Yeah, we fooled him. Jody
told him, Well, I could fool people pretty easily at
nine years old. It was beyond that. But yeah, you
started at twenty two months old atie bitty.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah. What didn't thing was it?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Was it Shakespeare in the Park? Was that what started with?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
It was after the first three years of training. Yeah, yeah,
the first year and a half. No, my mom thought
I was really precocious and cute and took direction well
and tried to get me an agent, and she worked
really hard. I guess that was a whole, big, long process.
But then once I was able to go on a
few auditions, I got really lucky. I booked a feature
(03:54):
within the first couple of months and then just tried
to keep the momentum after that.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
It's incredible. That's that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I mean that just it's a testament to your talent
before you even knew that you had that talent.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
You know, it's it's so impressive.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I appreciate that. Thank you. I wish I still had it.
I don't know, please please no.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
But do you remember, like, was it like I mean,
obviously at twenty two months, probably not, But like when
you were a kid, do you remember feeling like, oh,
I enjoy this. This is something that I like, Like
I enjoy the performance part of it, and I like
being around all these people. And you know, because there
are some kids that do it and they're like, yeah,
it wasn't my tho.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I didn't really Yeah, yeah, no, I was fortunate. I
thoroughly enjoyed it throughout the entire entirety. There were times,
and I think that's true for any kid. You know,
you have a bad day, you're cranky. There was times
where it was hard. There was times where I didn't
want to I kind of had family drama that put
more pressure on the industry, but the actual work I
always thoroughly enjoyed. So I mean, could have gone better,
(04:54):
could have gone worse, but I really don't have any regrets.
I see, you know a lot of other kids in
the End of Street that grew up around our time
that that had it a lot worse. So I'm pretty
that had a good run.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah. Yeah, we always say that too. Like we were
very you know, we we managed to not have to
deal with a lot of the like really toxic stuff
that is in this business. Sure, you know, on the sets,
at least on the sets that we worked on, we
were very very lucky that, like it just it was
never was. It wasn't a thing. Yeah, Now, you the
(05:26):
movie that obviously I knew you as as a kid
was Pet Cemetery because even at like eight nine, like
I was a huge horror fan, So that was That's
like probably one of the best known ones is Pet Cemetery.
And I mean you did Mercury Rising, Spawn, Apollo thirteen,
and of course Kindergarten Cop which is also probably the
(05:47):
one that people quote it you all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh man, I was when I was younger I couldn't
stand it.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I was tortured by that, and my mom actually felt
really bad because you know, kids tease and they say
the line, say the line, and I was a little
but now you know, with enough time, I look back
and I love it. It's it's hilarious. But man, there
was a time where that was that was kind of rough.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
For a while, I.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Was I was wondering that, Yeah, I didn't know that's
like at all, So to have a yeah, we can commiserate,
but it's even worse for you because of the nature
of that line.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Sure, yeah, I can imagine.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I was canceled a few times for what I did
when I was five, apparently.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Right, You're like, yeah, this was thirty years ago. I
didn't write it.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah right, Yeah. Every time somebody says that though, I
gain followers, so I don't know. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Well, it's good you can laugh about it, yeah, you know,
of course. Yeah, permanently scarred from that, that's good.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, and that's too bad suppressed. It's really special.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I know. I do have to know that. What was
your first job at twenty two months old? Like, what
what did you do? What was it for?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I think it was a public service announcement, and then
there was a I think John Deere or something was
like a lawnmower commercial. Right, I forget the third thing,
and then it was pet Cemetery. Okay, yeah, and I
guess I booked the first three things. I went out
on and the head agent called me and my mom
into the office and said, you know, where have you
been all this time? And my mom said, knocking on
(07:14):
your door for nine months because she was trying to
get an agent for ages.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Wow, yeah, and you were. You were such a bright,
precocious and you know, you were a kid who looked
a lot younger than you were. And so you know,
sure for those of us that are like a little
smaller for our age or whatever, like when we can
play two years years older right and there, Yeah, totally,
it definitely works in your favor. But I mean from
(07:40):
that moment on, you just you kept going, how did
you memorize lines? Like when you're that young?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Like Pet Cemetery, you had to carry a lot in
that film, and so at that age, like how do
you memorize did your mom work with you to memorize
lines or did you just absorb it as a kid?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Child abuse, you know, you do it again, you were better.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
No, thankfully, it was not anything like that, just repetition,
you know, I mean, you know the process it was.
It was playing pretend. I think a lot of times,
being so young, kids play pretend. It's just at an
extreme level with adults helping you, and you do it
over and over and over until it's second nature.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It's where you don't even think about the lines.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
What I appreciated about Full House too was it was
it was one of the I did a few TV
spots that was probably the biggest one. But how much
of it is like a play? I was never used
to doing plays. Yeah, it's like a stage play. You
have you know, you practice all week, it gets tighter
and tighter and better, the jokes gets punched up, and
then on Friday you have that energy of the crowd
(08:44):
and by then it's easy, like the hard work is
you know, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then Friday.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It's just fun.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, and people, don't you know people, It's interesting like
we've we had actors who came from single cam or
more film world, or least just like single cam television
sort of more episodic stuff that came onto full or
fuller house that were great in their area, but when
they were thrown into that environment sort of live theater
(09:14):
and you know, and yet sort of not and it
is it's a huge.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's a different format for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, because you had you know, it's on a single cam.
It's like everything is smaller and what you know, because
the camera's here on a sitcom, it's like I need
to sort of pretend like I'm playing to the back
of the theater exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Yeah, it's it's brighter, it's very like in your face.
It's not a lot of subtlety, for sure.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Do you remember like any of the stuff of filming
Pet Cemetery when you were a kid? Like, was it
because it was a horror movie? I mean, were there
moments of it that like freaked you out? Or were
you one of those kids that was like that kind
of enjoyed that stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah, you know, it's funny. Pet Cemetery is kind of
being one of my biggest credits. I remember the least
about it because I was so young. What I do
remember are the stories my parents told.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I remember.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
It's been reinforced in my whole life, so they're probably
like memories of memories. We actually we had a reunion
just last year.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Now.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
We went back to Maine and a bunch of the
cast we went to like a convention. We went to
a lot of the locations to take photos and stuff,
and that was really neat and yeah, it like weirdly
kind of brought back a vague sense of familiarity. I
think when I was sixteen we went to we didn't
get to go this last year's trip, but when I
was sixteen, we went back to the house that we
filmed out and the family was really nice, let us
(10:38):
go in tour, say hello, And it felt like going
to Grandma's house that I hadn't been to since I
was very little. I couldn't tell you what was behind
a door, but as soon as I would walk into
a room, it was just an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
It's like, oh, yeah, I've been, you know where that is?
And yeah, yeah, it's interesting. Like you said, the whole
movies thing Pet Cemetery are like like my baby movies, right, did.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
You understand what, like what your character like with the
blood and the gore and the death and the coming, like,
did you understand any of that or were you just like,
I'm just going to repeat these lines.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
And make it to my understanding. The director, Mary Lambert,
was very mindful of that during the filming. Most most
films aren't shot chronologically sequentially. They're shot out of order
just because of budget and you know, the most efficiently
of what locations are available and when talent's available, et cetera.
But that film they shot as chronologically as possible, especially
(11:38):
from my scenes. So being in a new environment, in
a strange place, with the lots of people I didn't know,
I was able to get comfortable and get kind of
a sense of family.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
We were there with them every day.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Because the beginning of the movie is very you know,
it's just a family, it's establishing everything.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
There's nothing weird going on.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
So then later in the film when there was some
he your asks of a small child, it was comfortable.
I knew everyone, it was safe, and I think so
I have a lot of my performance credit due to
Mary Lambert, the director, because she she took that care
and was that mindful about it, knowing that that was
(12:16):
going to be the case, that she'd get a better
better performance that way.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Well, and it's I mean, we've talked about how many
people don't have directors or producers or people that really
work well with kids. It's not you know, there are
directors and people who have never worked with kids before
and they all of a sudden get thrown into a
movie and they're like, I don't I can't talk to
you like an adult. So it is nice when you
have directors and people and producers who are like, oh,
(12:42):
let me think about this all the way through and
how you know it might affect that maybe Tody big news,
it's happening. Andrea Barbara Sweden mer merch people, Yep, we
(13:02):
are so excited about this. We've been talking about this
for a long time. We really have. And if you
go to how rude merch dot com you can check
out all of the designs that we have that A. B.
And I worked on ourselves. I mean we didn't we
didn't do the like the drawing of them, but all
of the ideas notes. What we're saying is we want
to hear from you. Okay, to check out how rude
(13:23):
merch dot com. Go get hoodies, t shirts, all kinds
of fun designs on there and rep your fana rito love.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I wonder being a female director if that was like
an insight that she held on to more probably than.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Maybe otherwise.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
In the industry too, Like kids and kids and animals
are the hardest to work with, they say so, yes,
it's an added challenge.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Oh yes, we like to do both on our show.
Aaron was kind of kind of an obnoxious little kid.
I mean, not personal, but he was. It's kind of
like an obnoxious, annoying little kid, Like, Yeah, was it
fun to play like that kind of annoying tattle tailey
(14:09):
sort of?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I think I think that was the most spitfire character
I really played at that age that I can think of,
and it was fun. I think there was a little
bit of me in there, as there always is, you know,
in roles, but of yourself. But I think it was
it was dialed up to eleven. It was the sarcasm
and the attitude just of myself.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
But what if it was on steroids essentially? Right? Yeah, Yeah,
it was fun. It was a blast.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
You know, Full House is such a wholesome show that
getting to be kind of a thorn in everyone's side
was the unique and fun experience, right, I.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Mean, what was there anybody that you really bonded with?
On the show, like, do you remember any of your
full House episodes? Because you did twelve of them? You
were quite concurring guest, was it see?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I was trying to look it up when I was
watching it getting ready for this. I thought it was nine,
so twelve. I got a it's somewhere in there, and
I think I was reading the Wikipedia actually last night, apparently,
because I really don't remember hardly anything. There's there's I
think a couple episodes where I'm like referenced, but not
in there's like a line or something that might be
(15:21):
counting like the character.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So yeah, I remember it was really fun. It was
it was great. Everyone was was very nice and we
had a good time. I do remember being a little
like you guys were a family. You were there every week,
and I wasn't there every often.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Maybe more comfortable in the later episodes, the early ones.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I was so little. I think I was too too
young to know to be shy. But like I said,
you were the cool kids. I just wanted to be like,
you know, liked, and I felt welcomed. And I do
have a very specific memory of you, Jody, that we
were play saying POGs I don't remember what day it was.
It was offset POGs, if anybody remembers, was a terrible,
(16:06):
horrible game, the stupidest game.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It was a trend and like it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Was, it was just like like little little cardboard discs
started childhood gambling. Yeah, it was like you had to
like flip them. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
It was kind of like Jack's. I feel like Jack's.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, like an old twenties version.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
It was like the nineties version of but.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I feel like kids were betting money on POGs. That
was why they would get banned at schools because it.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Was like I remember, because you stole all my POGs
sor you didn't. Honestly, you didn't steal them. You won them,
but you were older and more skilled. I think we
were playing.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I don't child.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
A child yourself, so that's fair. I don't know if
you kept them, if it was just for the game.
I just remember playing and you were consistently beating us.
I was like, how what is she doing? Different?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Like I don't even remember how to play other than
you just throw things at it.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
It's yeah, I think you hit it with like a plastic.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
There was like a plastic one over.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
It was the slammer and you'd have to flip it over.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It's sort of like there's like a Korean game that's
like that, isn't it again, I'm not going to ruin
the pronunciation of it, but it's the one that they
play in squid game with the paper and you throw
it and you have to flip the other person similar similar,
so I guess it. Yeah, it's sort of a similar
concept or whatever. But I'm so sorry I stole your POGs. Wow,
(17:35):
I do remember running POGs. And then do you remember
that card game Spit which there was went by a
couple of different names, but it was basically like you
had a half a deck and you'd flip it over
and you had to go one above or one below
with the cards and then you can only and you
had to use one hand. And yeah, that was that
(17:56):
was another one, super fast. Ye love that game.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
That was cool. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Did we did we share a school room?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Did you go to school with us or with the
younger kids?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I think there might have been a younger kids school room.
I know I played with the Super Mutant Kids Club.
We had the Karate episode. It was a lot of
Michelle's friends. It was Betty and yes, Blake Ewing and
the whole gang, right. I remember hanging with them them primarily.
(18:27):
I know we we encountered each other a bit. We
might have been in the same school.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Room, but I think they had I think, yeah, I
think they had their own because it was like five
years a little. They weren't quite an elementary school yet. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh,
how funny.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
I actually have another funny story.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You worked on a.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Film on Second Cozy Christmas in Yes, so I day
played on that. I do camera work nowadays, and I
was on the very last day and I wanted. I
was trying to find a moment to talk to you.
It was like really busy, and every time I was
like we were in the same area, I was gonna
be like, hey, funny story, what's up?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And I never got a change.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
And I feel bad that I didn't now because I
was like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
But please, I was like, I won't shut up, so
just cut me off.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I was at the right moment. It was like all day.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
If I was in Utah, it might have been I
think it was.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
It might have been a day in l A.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
You might have shot the most of it in Utah.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yes, because I was are we shooting with Vivica?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
That sounds very possible.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I think we were shooting with Via Fox.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
She played in it. That's right.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, it was like the last two days we'd shot
everything else in Utah when we came out here.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, yeah, buddy.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
My buddy did most of the shoot and he couldn't
do the last day and he's like, hey, can you
do this day?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
So if I would have.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Been on the entirety of it, we would have had
plenty of time. I would have found my god.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, but still I feel I feel about your very
super small yeah, kind of cool. So that Yeah, it's
funny how you just you know these it's when you've
been in the business this long, even when you're still
like in it but not maybe in front of the camera,
likes seeing like the people over and over in weird ways,
(20:20):
and like thirty years later you're like, oh my god, you're.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
You know, you started industry, but kind of a small
industry in a way.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
For sure, for sure. So oh, so you do camera
work now or where you were at the time, Is
that what you sort of moved into? Are you doing
more behind the camera stuff or is.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
That my blanket term is filmmaker because I wear a
lot of different hats depends on the project.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I'm sure you feel that too, but.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Yeah, yeah, I've been doing a digital image technician a lot,
so yeah, that's what I was on that day.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Oh awesome.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Would you ever go in front of the camera again?
Would you want to act? Or you're just kind of
done with that?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I took a long break where I was not in
to it for many years. I kinda I don't know
if you guys went through this, but like I wanted
to find myself because I grew up in that and
you never it's a great opportunity, and it's so many
I'm so thankful because so many people don't get opportunities
like that. But when you know nothing else, you have
this sense of I felt very mature in many ways
(21:19):
and very immature in other ways because you never see
kind of that other side of it. And I was homeschooled.
I didn't have like a full social life. Maybe it
was a little sheltered. So for a long time and
because of like family drama, I was just a little
soured on it. But now it's been a long circle comeback.
I've dabbled and done a few things, and there's potentially
(21:40):
a project. You know, you don't want to count chickens
before they have, but this year that I'm that I'm
kind of hopeful for. Most recently, I did a short film.
It was a fan film. So I've been doing a
lot of conventions for horror movies because of this. Yeah,
and the other big horror movie I did was What's
Craven's New Nightmare? It was number seven in the Nightmare
(22:03):
on Elm Street series. Yep, okay, and somebody approached me
to do a fan film kind of reprising the character,
and I was I was a little iffy. I thought, okay,
you know, i'd read a script if the script is good.
And it was actually really clever if you were going
to bring the character back. It really did the story,
you know, it honored it well. And and I thought, yeah,
why not. I haven't done this in a while. It's
(22:23):
kind of it feels like on my own terms, and
it's something a role I really would want to do.
So that that went really well. It came out. It's
on YouTube right now. It's called Dylan's New Nightmare. It's
kind of a leaves the door open for more. We're
kind of uh, but the fans really seem.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
To like it.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
It did get demonetized on YouTube because it's horror, and
I think there's like a moment it's not even real.
It's a you know, a fake sequence, but there's self harm.
So it organic growth. But initially it was it was
like flying when it first came out, So it's niche
within the scene, but like horror, I don't know how
much crossover with Full House, and I keep saying with.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
That we need with the Full House horror crossover, I
mean it would be, yeah, the calls coming from inside
the house, but there's nineteen people that live there, so
good luck figuring out who it is.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Clue, Yeah, it's a clue. Yeah, we got people added
to basement, you know. Just well if and now if
we if we decide to go that route, we will
definitely be calling you Miiko, and we will hope.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
So yeah, Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know,
are you a Charlotte? In nineteen ninety seven, my life
was forever changed when I took on the role of
Charlotte York on a new HBO show called Sex and
(23:52):
the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte
navigate relationships in New York City. The show helped push
once on acceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and
altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw
ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life,
sex and friendships. Now I want to connect with you
(24:12):
and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes
together with special guests. What will begin with sex and
the city will evolve into talks about themes that.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Are still so relevant today.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Are You a Charlotte is a much more than just
rewatching our beloved show.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It brings the past and.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
The present together as we talk with heart, humor, and.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Of course some optimism.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I think Aaron would be the obvious choice because he's
a jerk. But but it should be a twist.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But it's it's a twist. I think it's I think
Yankee doodle boy. I think I think you brings out
to be Yeah, I like that, Yeah, he just just
Yankee doodles. I'm right to that's it. Hell yeah, what
are the horror cons?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Like Jody and I have done the nineties con and
she's in the Christmas con, but what are horror.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Try to reach out a little too nineties. I feel
like might be a good fit.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
That'd be a for.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Sure, totally.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Yeah, they're they're great. Everyone's super nice. It's it's like
any subculture.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
They have their little niche things about it.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
It's it's similar to other horror cons, but with its
own little flavor, and it's a blast.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I'm very thankful.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
It's it's cool to like meet all the people that
have seen what we've done and make friends and uh yeah,
it's been that's a really special thing.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
We love doing the conventions. I know we always have
a really fun time. And I actually did the Christmas
one where people were talking a lot about a cozy
Christmas in so yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I think I have a friend in the convention scene
who was working that who was in LA and I
swung by at the end of one of the last days.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I don't know if it was the same one or
the same you.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
I think this one was a New Jersey Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
there was one like the fifth one. They have one
in La too.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah, yeah, far far from. It's like Halloween and horror.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Right, Halloween, horror Christmas? Yeah, I know. And the irony
is is that I'm way more of a horror fan
than than any of the like nice Christmas stuff. Any
of the stuff that I do is totally not what
I watch.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
So yeah, yeah, it's funny. I don't even watch that
much TV. And then, yeah, it seems to work out
that way sometimes when when you work in the industry.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, I don't want to watch the thing.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Have you seen the substance as a horror fan?
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Not yet, but I want, but I want to. I
heard it one of the best ones I heard. It's
really really great. Yeah, it's best going in blind.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
I feel like people have been posting some like spoilers
of okay character stuff at the end, so try to
try to if you go in, the more blind, the
better I think.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Got it.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I did see those Farra.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Two that it was. I'm hoping to see it.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I saw it twice actually, because I went with my
husband and the kids and be the first time, and
then Zoe couldn't make it that night, so she wanted
to see it, so we went like a couple days later.
I actually liked it better the second time, I think
because the first time I went into it with like expectations,
expectations of what and I've been reading so much stuff
that people are like, it's terrifying, it's and I was like,
(27:11):
I was expecting like a horror horror movie, you know
what I mean, And it was like atmospheric or definitely,
And then once I watched it like that, I was like,
oh no, I actually like the It's shot beautifully and
the story and the lightning and all that, you know.
But yeah, it was very good.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
So it's no, Yeah, I can't wait. I'm sure I'll
be seeing it pretty soon.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah. Yeah, the I'm sure that the Again, our crossover
audience is huge between that, you know, the horror and
the full house.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Sure do you get recognized more for horror stuff or
full House or something something difference.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Yeah, it's totally random, and it is kind of fun
being I look very different and the beard. I can
be kind of incognito when I when I feel like
in La everyone knows on one that's in.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
The industry, so we're a little jaded. It's not that
big a deal.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
I did get recognized actually, kind of recently, which is
always surprises me because as an adult, I feel like
it look so different.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
But uh yeah, I think it's a healthy balance.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
I like being able to lead a somewhat normal life
and then on the occasions it does happen and.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
It's like, oh, that's that's really cool, thank you, you know.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, nice, nice. Yeah. So now it's you were in
the business as a kid and then you kind of
stepped out away from it and you're still like connected
to it. But if you could give one piece of
advice to like young actors out there, and obviously you
were a very very young actor, but like, what would
(28:44):
what would it be as somebody who has been in it,
who has walked away from it, who is tangentially still
sort of related to it, Like what would be your
biggest piece of advice to young people coming into it?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Man, there's so many aspects to it. That's a great question.
I wish I had like a solid answer in the holstery. Yeah,
I mean is if you're passionate about it, if you
enjoy it. Only do it if you enjoy it, and
if you're willing to put the work in, because, like anything,
the more you learn about it, the more you learn
there is to know about it. The well goes deep
and sometimes it's a lot of the work behind the scenes.
(29:20):
That's the real job. So if you're prepared for that
and you can you know, navigate and adapt to that. Yeah,
find find your passion, find your niche, niche, find what
other people like that you do that you enjoy, which
I'm also kind of dabbling in now. I'm late to
the party, but I'm kind of looking into like streaming
and stuff. So Okay, this is advice I've been giving myself. Right,
(29:44):
Hopefully it works for me. Maybe it'll work for you. Yeah,
that's kind of where my head's at.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Nice, Okay, good well, Michoel. It has been so awesome
to have you on the show. I'm just it's been
so much fun to, like anytime have everybody, like all
of these old characters come back and see people that
we haven't seen for thirty years. Although I feel like
an asshole because I have seen you in the last
thirty years, but I didn't even know it.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
We were busy.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
That's true, because I will be I would never in
a million years have recognized you. I would know your
name in an instant, but I would never like, oh
my god, it's Miko.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yeah, you guys probably get recognized all the time because
you look very similar.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
That's that's probably I basically just took the head of
my nine year old self and like placed it on
an adult person. Yeah, it's harder.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
It's harder for us to hide, to blend into normal
atmospheres because when I throw.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
My beard out, though, it really does I get to
be much more incognitio.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Yeah, this is actually just bell Crow.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Right, Yeah, you're actually quick question how was COVID? Did
you guys like was that a relief to not get
recognized so much with the masks and like or did
you get recognized just as much?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I like, I liked wearing masks, but I still got
recognized with a mask and like that, and yeah, it's
kind of in the grocery store, I'm just like.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
How do you And then yeah, to take pictures and
I'm like, this is weird.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
I will part.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I definitely like was surprised at how many people would
just recognize you. But it's also I think, like you
open your mouth and then that's that kind of happenway too.
There's a lot the voice and I would say that
like it had sort of probably tapered off a little bit,
and then we did fuller and so then it was
(31:33):
like now now we're back as the way we look now,
so then it got definitely true. I think got more
people recognizing us. Sure, yeah, the masks were the masks
were nice for a little while. Yeah right, that's right,
that's our disguise code masks exactly. I just actually wear
a full mask of Andrea's head when I go out.
(31:55):
It's just like like those weird Nixon masks. Yeah, yes,
and I just like her. And then yeah, sign my
name on an autograph.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I do, I do.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
You've You've been committing a lot of crimes, so I'm
looking for you waiting for it wasn't me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh,
thank you so much for men on the show today.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Migo.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
We absolutely here. It was really really cool and love
to hear that you're like still in the business and
loving it and a filmmaker. And yeah, we we can't
seem to peel ourselves away from it either, So I
think it's true. It's true, really is. Well, thank you
so much, Miko. We loved having you on the show.
Really appreciate it and hopeful thanks to see you soon. Why,
(32:40):
Oh my god, Oh my gosh, what a great guy,
so great. I cannot believe that he worked a day
on a movie and didn't say anything.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well, I could see because it is chaotic. You're trying
to cram a bunch of scenes into the last day.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
That day was a little hectic because it was I
think it was the only day that we could get
Vivika Fox her schedule, so I had like a lot
of stuff to shoot in a short amount of time. Yeah,
so that that's understandable that he But still, what is
Mako so excited? But you know what I will say
to like, actually, I respect for you know, he was
(33:20):
like and this is not the time or the play.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
He professional, but very professional. But I'm not. So that's
what I don't. Yeah, don't don't hold yourself to a
higher professional standard than I do. So, yeah, I wonder.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
So you don't think you would have recognized it, because
I the eye recognized him at all. His eyes like
look the same to me, but the beard and everything. No,
I would walk past him. I did, then I would have.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
I did not even just walk past on the street.
Was in the vicinity for all day and I've had
no idea, So yeah, there's me being observant. But no,
I just like he wow, so what a.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Great Yeah he's he's what a great guy, just such
not affected at all by acting at the starting acting
at the age of twenty two months. Yeah, like a
lot of that, Like he was mentioning like how much
of that is really your choice?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
When I was gonna say, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're
I don't know of acting at twenty two months, you're
just being You're just.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Being cute or funny or horrific whatever whatever the scene called,
whatever it calls for.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
The PSA was for, Oh should I should have been
like what was the public service? What were you announcing
to the public? Yeah, what service were you providing them?
Right at twenty two months? Like what could.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Possibly was it?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Like a you know, was it like what was he educated?
Like mothers driving or something, you know, on a little
baby in the car and they're like, don't drink a
drive or whatever it is. But yeah, but that was
that was really fun And yeah, I never would have
never would have recognized him in a bazillion years.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Oh he's he's great, he's fantas so happy for him.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
On our show. I know, right, we're getting into uh
some of Michelle's crew, her people. Yeah, and we've got
