AMA
Hey guys I’m excited to see what you guys plan to do with the Lawrence Detective Agency. I loved graphic novels growing up and I can’t wait to see the stories that you have to tell. My question is do you have any plans to maybe have merch for Lawrence Detective Agency? Also what would be your dream plot for the graphic novel?
Gratitude
Our message at church today was all about gratitude, so I wanted to say thank you about a couple things. Awhile back, Andy mentioned wanting to use the Maple cereal as a crust for a cheesecake. I made one with that cereal this past week for my coworkers birthday and it went over fantastically, so thank you for the idea! Matt, I was opening an account for a family at work whose daughter has a bearded dragon. I asked her if she'd like to watch your reptile build videos on my phone while I helped her parents, and she was so excited! She loved seeing you work and feed your bearded dragon, and it kept her entertained while I worked with her folks, so thank you so much! Joey, thank you for always being so positive and willing to share your reliance on your faith in God; it truly encourages me. On that note, way back in April, I asked about Easter traditions in your family and you talked about your youngest girl being old enough to get excited about participating this year, so I was just wondering if you could give a brief update on how she enjoyed the holiday with you all this year? As always, thank you all for being the awesome guys that you are! Blessings and Mahalo!
Game day
This is long. So you don't have to share in the AMA. Save it for bathroom reading. That's where this game belongs. Game day. OMG!!! What was that? First I want to thank the Eagles fans that acted as body guards for my friends that went to the game. 😯 Not a lot of brotherly love at the tailgate. I haven't heard such language since, well since the last time I watched the Blossom episode where Joey's mom wouldn't go to any of his baseball games. My apologies to Melissa Manchester. I didn't know I even knew those words. Yet they flew out of my mouth. 😳 This was the most violent game I have ever seen! When God sends in a lightning storm to calm everyone down, you know it's bad! They could all learn a lesson from Andy and I. When we talked about our teams at CC Comic Con, not once did Andy ever spit on me. Not once did I hit him with a left hook. Andy never grabbed my glasses and attempted to decapitate me. And I never grabbed his glasses and attempted to decapitate him. We were civil. I hope both teams go to anger management and get tested for steroids. Something caused that rage. Anyway, with the exception of the fights and the hundreds of missed calls on both sides, it was a good game. Congratulations on the win! I feel bad for Boyz II Men. Their voices kept cracking during the national anthem. The weather probably gave them a post nasal drip. I would have been okay with them lip syncing. But they probably would have gotten backlash. What would you have done in their situation? Has something similar happened to you? I've completely lost my voice a few times while in the middle of talking to a client on the phone. Not in front of millions of people though. Just an angry boss demanding I get my voice back. If i had magical powers, I would use it on something more important. Like my Cowboys. I've given up on the aliens. So now I'm praying for a Freaky Friday thing. I want Jerry Jones to switch with a homeless person so they can have money and a place to live, and Jerry can be humbled. Then the new Jerry Jones can hire me to be the GM. And I'll ask Boyz II Men to sing at the next Cowboys/Eagles game, with the Lawrence Brothers. 😁 I may Freaky Friday the whole team! 🤣 And the referees. And Roger Goodell. Maybe just Freaky Friday the whole NFL! Let the fans play! 🤣
Ho ho ho!
I just watched Marry Christmas for probably the 429th time. Yes, I know it's technically not Christmas season yet, but I still have 7 Christmas trees up. So I guess we're still celebrating. 😂🎅🎄 Actually, I couldn't get anyone to help take it all down. So it remains Christmas here. I don't mind. It's my favorite holiday! You've had Brooke Anne Smith and the stars of the movie Donna Lawrence and Mr. Smee on the pod. I'd love to see some more of the cast on the pod. Wendy Dang wrote two books (under the name Rainie Dang) that she has been promoting. I'm reading her book "Sweet Thing-A Christmas Novella" right now. It's steamy! Eric Osmond has new music coming out. I'd love to hear more about their projects and their thoughts on a sequel to Marry Christmas. Maybe you can even get Santa on before his busy season! 🎅
Old Tucson Studios/Phoenix Suggestions
Hey guys if you need some fun ideas for the holidays you should visit Old Tucson Studios in Tucson, AZ built in 1939 its a working studio so if you might consider making a movie there plus the history and October is their award winning Nightfall experience for the scary not as elaborate as Universal will be but worth your time. They also do a Yuletide experience that is fun as well Santas desert workshop. Also for Matt lots of animal experiences here in AZ like Out of Africa, Bearizona, Phoenix Zoo and Wildlife World Zoo. I hope you do a podcast here sometime and if you need dining suggestions while your here the Fry Bread House, Wally Burger and Mels Diner are among some great places to consider. Thanks as always take care.
AMA questions
Hey guys! I’ve been a fan of you all and your work for a long time: Horse Sense, Recess, and Boy Meets World,… just to name a few. I remember watching Recess School’s Out in a theater in San Francisco when I was 5. A couple questions for you all. What are your favorite rides or attractions at Disneyland or Disney World? Will you be appearing at any Cons or doing any live pod episodes in the SF Bay Area where I’m from? Take care guys and hope to see you in the Bay some time!
AMA question
I love the fam vibes you guys bring each week! You guys have taken some pretty sweet vacays. What was a vacation you really enjoyed while growing up and what would be your dream vacation now? This last question is random: Have you guys seen the new Fantastic Four movie? If so, what was your favorite part and what character’s powers would you like to have?
90’s Throwback
I love watching the Disney movies from the 90’s and just recently I watched Horse Sense. I love the country vibe and horses! Being in the country can be so peaceful and the sunsets can be AMAZING. I took lessons for a few years, and my favorite thing was riding bareback, it was super challenging but I felt a deeper connection with the horses I rode. Beautiful Animals! My question is for Joe and Andy: What was the most challenging thing about working with animals? How did you two prepare for the roles you played? Did you guys sustain any battle wounds and what is your favorite memory being on set? Would you guys ever consider doing a “Horse Sense 2”?Thanks for everything you do! You are the highlight of my week!
Dreams become reality
Hi Joe, Matt and Andy! You have accomplished so much and I know there are more amazing projects you are working on. So cool! What dream is in your heart that you want to become a reality? Something that maybe you keep close to your heart that you have dreamed about for years and hasn't happened yet. The reason I ask because I recently had a dream of mine become a reality! I am a published author! I've wanted that since I was a kid. I wrote about my testimony and how my faith got stronger during a difficult time in my life. The release date is set for October 21st. The title is "Weeping Turns to Joy". I would so love to send you each a copy! Thank you for your time. All the best for you guys! Support and love from Heather Hatton!
Family Time
I love the family dynamic you guys have! With how busy you guys are and as individuals, you always seem to take time for family and for your fans. Hearing you talk about family and seeing how much you love them is so cool. I am BIG on family time, I live 4 hours from my family and when I do get to visit it’s always time cherished! I’m sure it can be challenging at times, being in the entertainment industry and I think it’s really admirable when people choose family over the fame/careers. This question is for all of you: Growing up, what was your favorite vacation? What has been a dream vacation for you? Thanks for being the highlight of my week!
Being in the Biz
You guys have been in several projects together through the years, as well as individuals. It’s really great to see the family vibe when you’re all together but it’s also amazing to see how you adapt when you guys portray different roles. My question is for all three of you: Have you ever found a role to be either physically or emotionally challenging to the point you second guessed yourself or decision to take on a role? What is the hardest role you have ever played and how did you prepare for it? I hope you guys have had a fun and relaxing summer! You guys are the highlight of my week!
Kickstarter
I checked out your Kickstarter yesterday (at the time that I posted this) and nearly had heart failure! One of the levels you could get said you would receive Matt and Andy. 😯 I thought some crazy person is going to think Matt and Andy will show up on their doorstep ready to move in. 😯 Before I ordered the bunkbeds and cleaned out a closet for them, I decided to send a message about what that paragraph said. It has since been corrected. Looks like a job for the Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency! Who tried to give away Matt and Andy? 😯😂
Homemade Dog Food Recipes from Andy
My question is for Andy. I know that you cook for Smee... I do the same for my three rescues. I try to switch up their meals as much as I can, but it gets a little old. Any recipes you can share? I also know there are certain supplements that should be given when cooking homemade meals. I add powdered egg shells for calcium and a bone broth for dogs...any other supplements you add that you recommend? Loved the video you did a while ago cooking a meal for Smee, would love to see more of those! -Kristin Doll from Philly
Radioland Murders
I don't typically ask more than one question, but Joe mentioned this film today on the regular weekly pod episode. I love this movie, and still have it on VHS. Joe, do you remember much about your part in filming it? I love that era of fashion and music. Do you remember your song from the film? You looked fantastic in that tux in your scene! Its a very zany, who done it kind of film. The storyline and timeframe remind me of the film Oscar with Sylvester Stallone, Marisa Tomei, Tim Curry, etc. Have any of you ever seen that film? That one is more a goofy gangster comedy of misdirection rather than murder, though.
Fame
First time going to any comic con was this weekend because I was not about to miss The Lawrence Brothers. I only met Andy but I did get a group picture so thank you! I didn’t see Matt at his booth and Joey was on the phone and I didn’t want to interrupt. It made me wonder if it ever gets overwhelming with fans wanting to talk or take pictures when you are in public? Love to support yall in whatever yall do, even Lawrence Power. Appreciate the facts Matt contributes and I too have some colonial music on my 4th playlist and it’s not everyone’s favorite thing either lol.
Bloopers
At CC Comic Con, Andy told me a story about a Dallas Cowboys loving DP and his truck that was used in a scene. I was crushed to learn that every trace of the Cowboys on the truck was edited out in post. 😢😂 This reminded me of a movie my Uncle worked on called Every Which Way But Loose. They were fiilming a scene with Clint Eastwood and the orangutan. Clint thought the scene was over and started talking to my Uncle Clyde. They left it in and that's how the orangutan got its name, Clyde. Have you ever had an experience on a movie or TV show where someone or something messed up and either kept it in or it made it to the release before anyone noticed? Please use that Cowboys loving DP in all your movies! And his truck! I am now his biggest fan! Does he have a fan club? I'll start one! 😂
Hometown places not explored
I am no longer a comic con virgin. 😂 I had a great time meeting you at CC Comic Con! My first ever Comic Con! And I also enjoyed meeting other fans! I told the sweet lady sitting in front of me during the panel all about your Supercast, so she may be joining soon! When I told you and your fans in the last AMA about things to do in and around our city should you ever decide to vacation here, I realized there are many places I haven't been yet. If you were to do a staycation in LA or your hometown in Pennsylvania, what would you like to see and do that you've never been to before? Going to see the release of the Kemp Ridley turtle hatchlings at Malaquite Beach (pronounced mala-keet) and the haunted escape room on the USS Lexington are at the top of my list for my city. It can't possibly be as scary as teaching my teenage grandson to drive. 😱😂 I keep getting visions of Matt running over Joey's car. 😱😂
Las Vegas
Hey guys!! I must say that I am super excited to see that you are taking the pod on the road and I am so looking forward to seeing all of you in Vegas. A question for each of you is what are your favorite go to spots in Vegas that you have to visit when you go? Again can’t wait to see you all in August
Movies.
It seems like you guys have watched every movie that was ever made. When do you sleep? 😯 Are you guys really zombies? 😯😂 It's okay if you are. 😊 We'll still love you. ❤️. Just please don't eat our brains! We need them to come up with questions for your AMA. 😂 But seriously, how do you find the time? We were going to catch up on the last few Mission Impossible movies, until we saw how long they were. 😯 We went back to binging Bluey. 😂 Each episode is only 7 minutes long. That's all my 7 year old grandson can handle. Do you think movies like the Mission Impossible movies would be just as good if they cut it down to 90 minutes? Anything longer than that, I want Tom Cruise here serving me snacks. Hooking me up with a massage chair and heating pad. Mixing up some cocktails and serenading me with You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'. 😂 I'm on some good pain meds right now. Had the surgery and now I'm cancer free! So please excuse my silliness. 😁
