[00:00:00] David, thank you for joining me today on Pop Culture Unplugged.
[00:00:13] Great to be here.
[00:00:14] Thanks for having me.
[00:00:15] Exciting times are friendly.
[00:00:17] I got notes all over the place.
[00:00:18] So we'll jump all over the place too.
[00:00:19] Let's jump up with the 90s conference.
[00:00:21] How was your experience?
[00:00:22] I remember you guys announced it months ago on the podcast that you
[00:00:25] were hoping to be on it.
[00:00:25] Did you guys were announced that how was that experience for you guys?
[00:00:30] It was such a fun weekend.
[00:00:32] I mean, I always knew these type of conventions existed, but I never participated.
[00:00:37] And my Sabrina cast had done it a few years and they said, this is great.
[00:00:43] Like this is one you have to go to.
[00:00:45] And then they invited our Hey Dude cast there.
[00:00:50] And because Christine and I have this 90s podcast, it just seemed really the
[00:00:55] perfect time to try this out.
[00:00:57] And I had two casts there.
[00:00:59] I had the Sabrina cast and the Hey Dude cast who are now our all like best friends.
[00:01:03] And it was just like a love fest all weekend.
[00:01:06] Now, was this your first con experience ever?
[00:01:08] Yeah.
[00:01:09] Yeah.
[00:01:10] How did that feel as a first time guest doing a con also?
[00:01:14] Well, everyone told me that this 90s con is so well organized.
[00:01:21] It's a company called That's For Entertainment that throws them.
[00:01:25] And I mean, if I had to go back to my hotel room for a few minutes or go to the bathroom,
[00:01:31] I had people walking me there, walking me back.
[00:01:34] There were two girls that were amazing working my booth.
[00:01:38] There was a professional photography sessions.
[00:01:42] There were panels that we went on in front of an audience.
[00:01:46] It was great.
[00:01:47] And then we had dinners with both my cast on Saturday night all together.
[00:01:53] It must have been like 10 or 12 of us.
[00:01:55] And it was really such a beautiful weekend.
[00:01:59] I had a Christine Lakin on the show.
[00:02:01] I've had her twice already, but I had her on before the 90s con too.
[00:02:04] And she loved it when she got announced for it.
[00:02:06] She was telling me it's like pretty much like a high school reunion slash.
[00:02:09] It felt like we never went apart from each other working all those years.
[00:02:15] Yeah, that's funny because we had had Stacey Keenan on our podcast
[00:02:21] a few weeks ago and I had done an episode of Step by Step where I played her
[00:02:29] boyfriend or whatever.
[00:02:31] And yeah, we all on the podcast, I told her what I remember
[00:02:38] from doing step by step was that I was so nervous.
[00:02:42] Right? It was one of my first jobs that they all seemed so calm and cool.
[00:02:47] And I said Patrick Duffy came to the note session the night of the taping in a robe and slippers.
[00:02:54] You know, that's how cool he was.
[00:02:56] And I was like terrified.
[00:02:58] And then I saw Patrick Duffy came up to me.
[00:03:00] He goes, did you tell people I wore a robe around the set?
[00:03:04] Step by step.
[00:03:05] I'm like, yeah, dude, I just was trying to say, you know, how calm you guys were.
[00:03:11] But yeah, it was like, you know, full house people.
[00:03:14] Yeah, so many people that we've known for the years over the years,
[00:03:18] especially my Sabrina cast and my hate dude cast all reuniting.
[00:03:22] It was really so, so much fun.
[00:03:25] So let's jump a little bit into your career now.
[00:03:27] So you know, you grew up in New York.
[00:03:29] Dad was a lawyer.
[00:03:30] Your mom was a therapist.
[00:03:31] Like, how did you go out of that loop to go into acting?
[00:03:34] What made you get into the acting world?
[00:03:38] I kind of like quietly started doing theater when I was in seventh grade.
[00:03:45] Got into a local production called Biaudition Only of a
[00:03:53] writer who was trying to workshop his show for to go off Broadway.
[00:03:58] And and I just love the camaraderie.
[00:04:02] I love being on stage.
[00:04:05] And I got an agent and manager from that show
[00:04:09] and then would just like, you know, all through high school.
[00:04:14] So eighth, ninth, tenth grade, I would go straight from,
[00:04:18] you know, my school to the train station into the city and run around on auditions.
[00:04:23] And I had a bunch of friends who were doing the same.
[00:04:25] And we, you know, we'd meet each other.
[00:04:28] We'd meet up and grab food.
[00:04:30] And it was just it was so much fun.
[00:04:32] That just the auditioning process for me was so fun.
[00:04:36] How old were you when you made the big jump from New York to LA?
[00:04:41] Well, I did.
[00:04:42] Hey, dude, it was the second half of my junior year of high school.
[00:04:46] I was in. Oh, wow.
[00:04:48] And then and then.
[00:04:52] Then we came home for the summer.
[00:04:54] I went back in like September, October through the holidays.
[00:04:58] And then and then I I had auditioned for an NBC show called Family for Joe,
[00:05:05] which is the oddest sitcom ever made probably Robert Mitchum
[00:05:11] starring in a half hour comedy as our grandfather, Juliette Lewis
[00:05:15] and Ben Savage played my siblings.
[00:05:18] And so I left Hey, Dude and moved to LA from Tucson
[00:05:23] to do this show that
[00:05:25] it it got canceled after 13 episodes.
[00:05:30] And then I called the Hey, Dude people and begged them if I could come back
[00:05:33] and they were like, yeah, come back.
[00:05:35] So I moved back to Tucson and then
[00:05:38] once Hey, Dude ended, I think, 91.
[00:05:42] I officially moved to LA.
[00:05:45] Yeah, you were talking about that the show when you had Will on.
[00:05:48] You guys are talking about Ben Savage working with him and everything.
[00:05:51] Couple episodes ago also.
[00:05:54] Yeah, I love I love that.
[00:05:56] I love their whole family.
[00:05:57] You know, we were we were tight when we worked together.
[00:06:00] And, you know, Fred was on the Wonder Years at the time
[00:06:03] and was just doing such amazing work.
[00:06:05] And they were like just a regular Chicago family.
[00:06:07] I think, you know, their parents had they were smart professionals,
[00:06:12] but they weren't like a show based fan
[00:06:15] through all the through all the years of your acting,
[00:06:18] you know, with Hey, Dude, you know, you mentioned Sabrina, even Blossom,
[00:06:21] you're on what drew you to like these roles
[00:06:23] and how do you think it made you like it impacted your career
[00:06:26] more and more throughout the 90s?
[00:06:30] Well,
[00:06:32] I've had a lot of success kind of aligning myself
[00:06:36] with really powerful leading girls or women, you know,
[00:06:40] I Blossom's boyfriend, Sabrina's boyfriend.
[00:06:47] Throughout my life, that's kind of been like a theme,
[00:06:50] you know, even my wife and just really
[00:06:55] trying to be support and get support from really powerful talented women.
[00:07:00] But yeah, Blossom was my big first
[00:07:04] break, the big hit show that, you know, it was Blossom at eight
[00:07:09] and Fresh Prince at 830.
[00:07:11] Yeah.
[00:07:11] A number of years and they were, yeah.
[00:07:14] That was my first big one.
[00:07:17] Out of those characters that we just named to like,
[00:07:18] which one was your favorite to this day?
[00:07:20] You still think about?
[00:07:24] My favorite character.
[00:07:25] Well, my favorite character was
[00:07:28] doing the movie White Squall.
[00:07:30] And I just, we just launched a YouTube channel
[00:07:33] for Hey Dude, the 90s called.
[00:07:35] Yeah.
[00:07:36] So they just launched, I brought my whole Hey Dude cast back,
[00:07:41] my White Squall cast back together,
[00:07:43] which was Ryan, Philly, Pays, Scott, Wolf,
[00:07:46] Balthasargetti, Jeremy Sisto
[00:07:50] and Jeff Bridges.
[00:07:51] And I just rewatched
[00:07:55] that episode that launched on YouTube
[00:07:57] and that shoot was six months around the world.
[00:08:01] I mean, everywhere from the Caribbean to London
[00:08:03] to South Africa.
[00:08:05] And I don't think they make movies like that anymore.
[00:08:07] It just doesn't happen.
[00:08:10] And really Scott obviously directed it.
[00:08:13] So as far as an experience,
[00:08:16] the making of White Squall was something that
[00:08:19] I appreciate and I think it's a great way
[00:08:22] I appreciate and I don't think even happens anymore today.
[00:08:26] But my favorite character was a movie called
[00:08:31] A Call to Remember.
[00:08:33] And it was directed by Jack Bender,
[00:08:36] who produced and directed most of the series Lost
[00:08:40] later after this.
[00:08:42] But Blythe Danner played my mother, Joe Montaña
[00:08:47] played my father
[00:08:49] and an actor named Kevin Zigers played my younger brother.
[00:08:54] And it was a family that was a second generation survival,
[00:08:58] survivors of the Holocaust living in America
[00:09:01] but how much pressure they put on their kids
[00:09:03] after what they had been through.
[00:09:05] And it was a true story written by a guy named Max Eisenberg
[00:09:09] who had lived, it was his story and I played him.
[00:09:13] And I mean, it's obscure.
[00:09:15] It was made by stars and encore.
[00:09:20] But it's called A Call to Remember
[00:09:22] and for me, that's my favorite character I've ever played.
[00:09:25] Would you ever want to jump into something like that again?
[00:09:27] Like a history piece like that?
[00:09:31] Yes, but probably more on the writing,
[00:09:35] producing, directing side.
[00:09:39] With the hey dude also, like with Ted McGriff,
[00:09:42] like what do you think is like the,
[00:09:44] he was a popular character.
[00:09:45] What do you think drew the audience of this character
[00:09:49] that you played?
[00:09:52] Oh man, he was very much like I was at that age.
[00:09:56] Just happy go lucky, charming and could charm his way
[00:10:04] out of any situation and just the confidence you have
[00:10:09] at 17 and the fun you're having in life.
[00:10:15] I mean, these kids were out on in the most beautiful setting
[00:10:20] on dude ranch riding horses, messing around with each other
[00:10:23] but they always had each other's backs.
[00:10:25] They were great friendships that I think was the foundation
[00:10:30] of that show and I think that's why people love the show.
[00:10:36] Everybody keeps talking about reboots.
[00:10:37] Have you ever talked to Christina about trying
[00:10:39] to reboot this or trying to make just do something
[00:10:41] with it in the future?
[00:10:45] Yeah, we have something.
[00:10:48] I just, yeah, I can't really talk about it
[00:10:51] but yeah, to re-imagined modern version.
[00:10:53] Yeah.
[00:10:54] I had to put you on the spot, sorry.
[00:10:56] No, no, we're on the work trip now with Paranah.
[00:11:00] So as an actor too, like you've been in an entertainment
[00:11:04] industry in a long time.
[00:11:05] What do you first of all,
[00:11:06] what do you think has changed like from the 90s
[00:11:08] when you were younger to now in the industry?
[00:11:11] Would you say?
[00:11:12] Oh my goodness.
[00:11:13] So much.
[00:11:16] In the 90s, people watched collectively
[00:11:19] the same content together, right?
[00:11:21] I mean, even, hey dude, you know,
[00:11:24] Christine and I talked about,
[00:11:25] we didn't know how many people were watching
[00:11:27] but like Nickelodeon in the early 90s was like
[00:11:31] Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram all in one.
[00:11:35] It was like the kids owned that channel
[00:11:39] and they all watched it together
[00:11:41] and the same with grownups too.
[00:11:43] It was like, you know, like with Blossom,
[00:11:48] I don't know, maybe it got like 30 million viewers every week.
[00:11:52] And now, and you had to wait.
[00:11:55] You had to wait till Monday at 8 a.m. to watch.
[00:11:59] Now it's like people just binging stuff
[00:12:01] and they're also distracted by a lot of other things
[00:12:06] between video games and social media.
[00:12:08] There's not as many people watching our shows.
[00:12:12] So it's harder to find an audience.
[00:12:14] So like a hit show today maybe has
[00:12:16] two or three million viewers, like a really hit show.
[00:12:22] Whereas back then it was more of a collective experience.
[00:12:25] People waited till Monday night at 8 o'clock
[00:12:27] and they all watched at the same time
[00:12:29] and they sat through the commercials.
[00:12:32] So honey, you're a few years older than me.
[00:12:34] I'm about to be 47 in July
[00:12:36] and you're like, what are you, 48, 49 around there?
[00:12:39] I'm 51.
[00:12:41] So yeah, and I had my kids late in my age.
[00:12:44] I have a nine year old daughter and a six year old son
[00:12:46] and I always try to get them to watch the old stuff
[00:12:49] that we grew up with.
[00:12:50] Did you ever do that with your kids growing up
[00:12:52] or raising them?
[00:12:57] Yeah, my kids are aware of, you know,
[00:12:59] Sabrina and Blossom and Hate Dude
[00:13:02] but they are, the stuff that they watch is a lot darker.
[00:13:08] Okay.
[00:13:09] You know, Riverdale or Pretty Little Liars
[00:13:15] I don't know what shows they're into
[00:13:17] but it all seems to be like very dark, you know
[00:13:20] like a lot of lying and backstabbing
[00:13:23] and maybe murder.
[00:13:25] And I think they're not as attuned to
[00:13:31] the kind of innocent stuff that we watch.
[00:13:34] You know, like, yeah, we just had Candace Cameron on
[00:13:39] and I was telling her growing pains was like my favorite show.
[00:13:43] My goal was to be Kirk Cameron, you know?
[00:13:46] Or Family Ties.
[00:13:48] And I don't know if they would hold up with my kids.
[00:13:52] I've never shown them, you know
[00:13:53] the sitcoms that I grew up with.
[00:13:55] Yeah, it's funny you said growing pains.
[00:13:57] I just rewatched the whole series by myself
[00:13:59] while my kids were doing other things.
[00:14:01] Took me a little while, took me about like six months.
[00:14:03] I just rewatched every episode.
[00:14:05] For me it still holds.
[00:14:07] The show still holds.
[00:14:09] Oh dude, I used to record growing pains on VCR tape.
[00:14:13] VCR, yeah.
[00:14:14] And I would, I probably watched each episode multiple times.
[00:14:17] I was just like, was fascinated with that character
[00:14:22] which was also like Ted McGriff,
[00:14:23] like a charming young guy who could just talk
[00:14:26] his way out of anything, but was just loving life.
[00:14:31] You know, with a family that loved him
[00:14:33] and knew supported him, I don't know.
[00:14:35] Yeah, that show really clicked with me.
[00:14:38] Did you ever get a chance to be Kirk?
[00:14:41] No, I never did.
[00:14:42] But I've done, I did a movie with Candace.
[00:14:45] Yeah.
[00:14:46] And we're now friends again
[00:14:49] because she was on our podcast so we reconnected.
[00:14:52] But no, I told her my goal in life
[00:14:54] was to be your brother.
[00:14:57] I think every actor at that point, that's what they wanted.
[00:15:00] Yeah, he was the greatest.
[00:15:01] Or Michael J. Fox, like you mentioned.
[00:15:03] Exactly.
[00:15:05] So you've also did a few guest appearances on show too,
[00:15:08] like 90210 and Melrose Place.
[00:15:11] Like what did you think of those type of shows back then?
[00:15:14] Do you think those type of shows still hold for now?
[00:15:17] Oh yeah, 90210 is iconic.
[00:15:20] I mean, that was,
[00:15:22] I did those first like summer episodes
[00:15:26] where the show blew up and like after we shot them,
[00:15:32] Luke and Jason and Shannon were on the cover
[00:15:34] of Rolling Stone Magazine like a month later.
[00:15:36] I was like, what is going on here?
[00:15:40] But the show was so well written.
[00:15:44] You know, I played a character who
[00:15:47] wasn't sure if he was gay or not in high school
[00:15:49] and he was dating Jenny Gart's character Kelly.
[00:15:52] And back then you didn't really write about that.
[00:15:54] It wasn't like, now it's just normal storyline,
[00:15:58] no one will care, but back then it was bold.
[00:16:01] And the cast was amazing.
[00:16:03] Luke Perry was a very close friend of mine
[00:16:05] who welcomed me onto that set so graciously.
[00:16:10] And I'm friends with all of them to this day.
[00:16:13] I only have my podcast because Jenny and Tori
[00:16:18] had me on a few times to recap my episodes
[00:16:20] on their 90210MG podcast.
[00:16:24] And I became friendly with their producer Amy
[00:16:27] and we talked about what we could do together.
[00:16:29] And so yeah, Jenny and Tori are the reason
[00:16:32] that I even have a podcast.
[00:16:35] Yeah, I know.
[00:16:36] Like I said, I'm excited about the podcast.
[00:16:37] I was just on looking to see who your latest drop was
[00:16:40] and it was Skeet Oldridge.
[00:16:42] And I had him on last year.
[00:16:43] What another great guest, great person.
[00:16:46] Oh my God, he was great man.
[00:16:48] Yeah, he had some amazing stories about NYU
[00:16:51] and his teachers at NYU were David Mamet
[00:16:55] and William H. Macy.
[00:16:57] Oh wow, can you imagine?
[00:17:00] Oh, that's on my next listen
[00:17:05] because I try to listen to your podcast every week.
[00:17:08] When I was doing some research last night on you too,
[00:17:10] there's a quote that I wrote down.
[00:17:11] I want to read to you.
[00:17:12] This is what people have said about you.
[00:17:15] You ready?
[00:17:16] You said those who have worked with you
[00:17:17] often praise your profession, commitment
[00:17:20] and dedication to your craft.
[00:17:23] What do you think of that quote?
[00:17:25] Who said that?
[00:17:26] I don't know.
[00:17:27] I even tried to look for that after.
[00:17:28] I saw it on a different website.
[00:17:29] So I wrote it down just so I could read it to you.
[00:17:32] Well, I'll tell you this,
[00:17:34] that the people that I have worked with over the years
[00:17:38] I'm still very close with.
[00:17:40] When I asked them to show up for me
[00:17:43] or I bring them a project or something to work on.
[00:17:46] They pick up the phone or they're like,
[00:17:49] we're here for you.
[00:17:50] So I think yeah, that says a lot.
[00:17:52] The way you conduct yourself over 30 years in your business
[00:17:58] it shows in the way that you're still close
[00:18:02] with all the people you've worked with.
[00:18:04] Ram Yost who is the head writer on,
[00:18:06] hey dude and I are working on something.
[00:18:08] Christine and I have a podcast together.
[00:18:10] Melissa and I are also in business together
[00:18:13] and we just all work together at 90s.
[00:18:15] I mean, I could go anyone that I've worked with.
[00:18:18] I feel like I could pick up the phone
[00:18:19] and they'll answer the phone and be like,
[00:18:21] what can we do together?
[00:18:23] And not everyone, yeah, it's just so your audience knows.
[00:18:26] Not everyone is like that.
[00:18:27] There are people that conduct themselves in a way
[00:18:29] that they become alienated.
[00:18:33] But I don't understand that behavior.
[00:18:35] It was just, I just acted the way that I grew up.
[00:18:40] Do you feel like networking is a huge thing for you?
[00:18:45] And you always like,
[00:18:47] you know that if you do somebody a favor someday
[00:18:49] you're hoping they will help you out.
[00:18:53] No.
[00:18:55] No?
[00:18:55] No, but I will do a favor for anyone that I love,
[00:18:59] that I'm close with for that reason alone.
[00:19:03] And I feel like same way.
[00:19:04] I'm not gonna do a favor for someone expecting
[00:19:07] that I'm gonna call on them someday for a favor.
[00:19:10] But you know, the people that you're close with
[00:19:13] you show up for.
[00:19:16] So let's talk about it about the podcast now too.
[00:19:18] First of all, like how did you,
[00:19:20] and Chris, you mentioned you were on the Jenny Garth podcast
[00:19:23] and that kind of gave you an idea to start your own.
[00:19:26] How did you decide you wanted to do with Christine?
[00:19:31] Well, I told, I asked Amy Sugarman
[00:19:34] if we could do a look back on a decade, right?
[00:19:36] I didn't wanna pick one of my shows.
[00:19:39] This wasn't my thing to go recap every episode.
[00:19:42] And I thought looking back on the 90s decade
[00:19:44] which I know people are age or nostalgic for
[00:19:46] and people my kids age are kind of fascinated with
[00:19:49] would give us endless amount of gas.
[00:19:53] And Amy said, you know what?
[00:19:55] You need a female co-host.
[00:19:57] This is what she thought.
[00:19:58] And she said, give me a list of female co-hosts.
[00:20:01] And I wrote down a bunch of names
[00:20:03] and she immediately said, Christine Taylor,
[00:20:06] if you get her, we have a show.
[00:20:09] And then yeah, I called Christine like five times,
[00:20:11] emailed her, texted her.
[00:20:13] She thought somebody died or something.
[00:20:16] I'm like, this is, and we have this opportunity.
[00:20:18] Would you wanna do this with me?
[00:20:19] And it was the right time in her life.
[00:20:20] And so it's been amazing working with her again.
[00:20:24] Who's been your favorite guest you've had so far?
[00:20:27] And is there somebody that you kind of hope
[00:20:29] you get down the road that you're trying
[00:20:31] every day trying to get them on?
[00:20:34] I don't think I get it.
[00:20:35] Well, next week we have something really insane going on.
[00:20:39] But I can't tell you, but you'll see,
[00:20:43] we're doing it next.
[00:20:46] Well, we're shooting it next week.
[00:20:49] It will drop I think on the 22nd,
[00:20:51] but I can't say about that.
[00:20:52] But like, you know, I mean,
[00:20:53] Jeff Bridges and Ben Stiller were like,
[00:20:56] you know, amazing.
[00:20:57] Especially Christine interviewing her husband.
[00:21:00] Yeah.
[00:21:02] You know, she found out things about him
[00:21:04] that she had never known.
[00:21:06] But sometimes the guests that you least expect to be
[00:21:09] the most fascinating are the most amazing interviews.
[00:21:13] Like, first of all, Bonnie Hunt is one of my favorite people
[00:21:17] in the world.
[00:21:18] I mean, her story about working at the cancer unit
[00:21:21] at Chicago Med and running on her lunch break
[00:21:23] to audition for AIM Man.
[00:21:26] And being in Second City at the same time
[00:21:29] and bringing the Second City troop down to the cancer unit
[00:21:32] to entertain the patients.
[00:21:33] Like sometimes you meet people that you're like,
[00:21:36] my gosh, you're more than an entertainer.
[00:21:37] You're like, you're a fascinating person.
[00:21:40] And a couple of weeks ago we had the Nelson brothers,
[00:21:43] Matthew and Gunnar Nelson.
[00:21:46] And I knew that they had a big family
[00:21:48] but their dad was Ricky Nelson.
[00:21:49] Their grandparents were Ozzie and Harriet.
[00:21:51] Their family's in the Smithsonian.
[00:21:54] And you know, they tell this story of that,
[00:21:57] you know, Bob Dylan was crashing out
[00:22:02] on their living room couch most nights.
[00:22:04] And George Harrison lived next door.
[00:22:07] It was coming home for breakfast every day.
[00:22:09] And their babysitter was Mama Cass
[00:22:12] from the mom and the papa's.
[00:22:14] That's the stuff.
[00:22:15] That's the reason I love doing a podcast.
[00:22:17] Cause I would never, you know,
[00:22:18] I'd look at Matthew and Gunnar Nelson and say,
[00:22:20] yeah, I like their music in the 90s
[00:22:22] but what am I gonna talk to them about?
[00:22:26] And then they drop these amazing stories on it.
[00:22:30] How much like studying do you do
[00:22:32] for the certain guests that you have come on?
[00:22:33] Do you, how much time do you spend?
[00:22:35] You think?
[00:22:36] Well, one of our producers Lorraine gives us a rundown
[00:22:40] and she does a lot of research.
[00:22:41] So like it's everything from their whole history
[00:22:45] to thought starters.
[00:22:47] And then if I see something with her work
[00:22:52] then I'll dive in and listen to the song
[00:22:54] or watch an old episode or something or watch a movie.
[00:23:00] But I guess as much as we need,
[00:23:02] I think to have a thoughtful interview is what I do.
[00:23:06] What's next for you now?
[00:23:06] I know you've been working behind the scenes also
[00:23:09] and stuff but like what's next for you?
[00:23:10] Any projects you'd like to tell us about
[00:23:12] other than the podcast guests?
[00:23:17] There's nothing I can talk about right now
[00:23:19] but our business is in a very
[00:23:24] it's in a standstill right now.
[00:23:26] But I have several projects with great writers and actors
[00:23:32] that we are actively shopping around.
[00:23:37] And yeah, but you know to get something
[00:23:41] I would only talk about something
[00:23:42] once it's like getting made or being raised.
[00:23:45] And yeah, I have nothing that's coming out right now
[00:23:49] but a lot that's that we're shopping around.
[00:23:53] David, how can the viewers and the listeners
[00:23:55] find you on social media to keep up with you
[00:23:57] with future projects, the podcast
[00:23:59] or anything else you got going on?
[00:24:01] I'm at David Lashor and the podcast is at
[00:24:05] Hey Dude The 90s Called.
[00:24:07] And we did just launch a YouTube channel.
[00:24:09] I Heart launched us on YouTube.
[00:24:11] So now you can see, I mean there's over 60 episodes
[00:24:14] of some of the most amazing guests all on video.
[00:24:19] So on YouTube look for Hey Dude The 90s Called.
