Fan Clubs
In the 90s, many celebrities had fan clubs. When I was 13, my celebrity crush was Jonathan Brandis. (Sorry it wasn't one of you guys, but I gravitated toward blond haired, blue eyed guys back then đ¤ˇââď¸đ). My mom had a local bakery take one of my posters from Teen Beat and make a cake with Jonathan's image on it. I was mortified when she revealed it in front of my friends at my party, and even more so when I found out she sent a picture of it into his fan club! Imagine my surprise, however, when I got a letter back from the club saying the cake looked great and Jonathan got to see the photos. They also sent me a few other memorable items! As mad as I was at my mom at the time, I'm so grateful to have that letter and memorabilia to this day, as they represent a part of my childhood. It broke my heart when I learned of his passing in the early 2000s. Joey and Matt, did you both have fan clubs back then? I'm guessing Andy was too young to have one. Do any of you have memorable letters or gifts that fans sent into your fan clubs in that decade? Can you recall any letters that you responded to because they were especially meaningful to you?
Movie roles
You guys have all done amazing jobs at portraying the characters you have portrayed! Joe in âPardoned by Graceâ, Matt in âMarry Christmasâ and Andy in âChasing a Dreamâ. My question is: Are there certain roles that you prefer doing over others? Do you like doing movies that portray real life stories/people? When you have a rough or emotional scene, how do you or would you prepare for that moment? What do you look for when accepting a role? Thanks for being the highlight of my week!
Shark Week
With shark week coming up soon, would you guys ever do a âwatch a longâ of The Meg or Soul Surfer and would you ever consider having Bethany Hamilton as a guest on da pod? Joe, I saw the âSwimâ movie, is there any possibility that we could see a sequel happen in the future?
NBC Kids Easter in Rome
Hey guys what do you remember about doing this special back in the day? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ_DflE8ZjM around the 37 minute mark Andy Williams sings about food and Joe does a dance while singing about a chili dog with onions lol.pretty cool special and getting to meet the Pope must have been exciting. Thanks as always guys take care!
Shark Week movies
I love the âwatch a longsâ you guys have done! Since Shark Week is coming up soon, My question is: Would you guys ever consider doing a watch a long of the movie âSoul Surferâ or âThe Megâ & would you guys ever consider having Bethany Hamilton or Jason Statham as guests on da pod? Joe, we really need another âSwimâ movie! Thanks for being the highlight of my week, love you guys!
Masked Singer Contestants
Matt, as many others have already said, I absolutely loved your performances on The Masked Singer! I know you said they didn't let any contestants interact on the show. Now that it's over, have you spoken to any of the other cast members? I knew early on the Boogie Woogie was Andy Grammar! His voice is so distinctive, especially in the upper register. His song "Don't Give Up on Me" is one of my absolute favorites! Do you guys think you might invite him, or some of the other cast members on the pod in the future?
Lawrence power
Hey there fellas, hoping all of you r having a fabulous month đ I am curious about the experience that you had filming together with Tony Horton. Can you talk about what it was like filming for those three days? I can imagine you all were thoroughly exhausted after doing so many videos in a short amount of time. And I also just wanted to say thank you so much for all that you do for your fans.
Interactive watching
Do any of you get too interactive watching a TV show or movie? Throughout this season of The Masked Singer, I kept yelling at Matt to stop giving such easy clues. Then I'd call the panel bad names for guessing wrong. I mean come on, the Boltneck clue was a dead giveaway! 𤣠I'm binge watching Boy Meets World, again, with my grandson. We are both yelling at the TV "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHAT DOES TOPANGA SEE IN CORY?!" Why didn't she marry Jack and go to Yale?! We don't get it! The episode of Blossom that I call "Joey grows a pair" where his mom misses all his games always has me yelling bad names at the mom. Really bad names. đł Please extend my apologies to Melissa Manchester. I mean how can any mom look at little Joey (Andy), medium Joey (Matt), and big Joey (Joey) and not want to go to his games? Hmmmm...what do these shows have in common? Matt! It's all your fault Matt! đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł So what shows, or actor, make you join in?
A Seth & Cali spinoff movie?
Hiii, I first want to say how much I love and appreciate you guys for being such notable points in my childhood. Mrs. Doubtfire & the Bean Movie are my favs. I really loved Marry Christmas, and Andyâs sadboy character was every bit perfect and hilarious. At the end, you see Cali catch a bouquet, and it made me think about a spinoff movie of her and Seth. They seem like the sweetest, and I really need any excuse for more Seth. Thanks again, take care âĽď¸
Nostalgia
Joe, Matt, and Andy, first of all, thank you for being so real on your podcast. I grew up watching your movies/tv shows. I was born in 1989. And was raised similar to yâall. (Excuse the southern dialect. Iâm from Mississippi.) My question is for Andy. It seems like Iâm forever single. How do you go about dating at our age in todayâs culture?
Conquering fears
Watching Matt conquer his fear of singing on a stage reminded me of a fear I wish I had conquered in school. I was very good at volleyball and basketball, most sports really. But my fear of people watching me kept me from trying out for the team. The middle school football coach even asked me to try out for the football team after watching me kick, but that fear of being watched kept me from trying out. It's because of me that my Cowboys don't have 20 Super Bowl wins instead of just 5, because I never tried out. Now I blame those damn aliens for not abducting Jerry Jones. đĄ These days I'll sing and dance in a grocery store without any care of anyone watching me, or the fact that I can't sing. Their problem, not mine. đ Joey and Andy, what fear do you want to conquer? Matt do you have any more fears to conquer?
Val Kilmer
It was such sad news to read about Val Kilmer's passing last month. He was such an versatile actor who never seemed like a fool in real life, but could become one for a role in such a fantastic way, like in Real Genius and Top Secret. Ironically, I think he would probably smirk at the fact that his passing fell on April Fools Day, as comedic timing was such a central part of many characters he played. Then he'd go on to inhabit roles like the adventurous rogue Madmartigan in Willow, smooth aviator Tom Kazansky "Iceman" in Top Gun, musician Jim Morrison in The Doors, Doc in Tombstone, and so many others with such confidence and skill that you truly believed he was that person. I recently watched his documentary Val on Amazon, and it was so fascinating to learn about his life outside of the industry, as well. Did any of you ever have the chance to meet him? If so, what was that like? If not, can you think of any projects or movies that he did that you would have liked to have collaborated with him on? Like Robin, he's definitely someone who I truly feel is gone too soon.
Broadway
Hey Matt, I would like to congratulate you on your outstanding performance on 'The Mask Singer.' Your voice is truly angelic. You mentioned Broadway, and my question is if you could select one show to be a part of which show would you choose and why? As a Jersey girl, I would make the trip to Manhattan to see you in any production you were involved in a heartbeat. Ps. Can you đđđ put out your version of hallelujah and unpretty.
Matthew, aka, Paparazzo
Couldn't wait for the Masked Singer to be over, so you could share your experience with us. Matthew, we all knew you could sing but your voice is angelic. Wow, you brought me to tears. Your rendition of Hallelujah was amazing. Hallelujah is the highest praise and you really, really brought it home. Would you ever consider doing a praise album? PS, just like Joey, you were robbed, should have made it to the finaleđ˘
Music
You guys have shared quite a bit of music with us, You always come up with great songs! Just the way you harmonize and blend together is just amazing! Andy: âUnder the mistletoeâ is my new favorite Christmas song! My dog Bella, is a rescue we adopted 3 years ago. Her biggest fear is thunderstorms & music is usually the only thing that helps calm her. We live in Florida so storms happen often, this one particular day she would not calm down - I was watching âMarry Christmasâ & when that song came on - she started to calm down a little and then she laid down! Thanks for being a source of comfort for her! I hope we get to hear more amazing music in the future. Question time: What song(s) would you guys want to put your own spin on? I think itâd be cool to see you do a rendition of âWill you be there?â by Michael Jackson or âForever Youngâ by Alphaville. Maybe add in some dance moves? Itâs so great to see how artists put their own spin on songs & make it their own. I also really hope you guys continue making movies together - you guys are 1000% amazing! Wishing your mom a blessed Motherâs Day, same to your wife Joe! BTW, I think EVERY DAY should be Motherâs Dayđ
Spiritual journey and growth
Hey guys! I want to say thank you to Matt for sharing your spiritual journey. I encourage you to keep going! Spiritual warfare is very real but stand firm. đ I pray you continue to heal and grow in your relationship with Jesus. My question for Matt is, what scriptures have enlightened you on your faith walk so far? Also, l would love to recommend some songs by Christian artists to listen to when you get the chance. Phil Wickham "Relationship", Stephen Stanley "Whatever it takes", Seph Schlueter "Love me still", Tauren Wells "Crazy about you", Micah Tyler "Different", Jeremy Camp "No rain", and We the Kingdom "Dancing on the waves". I hope you enjoy these songs. âşď¸ May God bless you abundantly and give you His wisdom and a fresh revelation. I pray Deuteronomy 28:1-14 over you. All my love and support to you guys always!
