    Im a friend of Joe's and he has always been a very humble guy. It's interesting to see how people react to him when they realize who he is, infact I'm one of them. It is very honoring to have him as my friend.

      I lived in Tucson in the early 90's. A couple friends and I went to a local college bar on 4th avenue. One of my friends accidentally bumped into him at the bar. He got butthurt even after my friend apologized numerous times. He was a real asshole talking tough in Spanish to us. We just walked away and let him have his moment. I knew who he was because I had a young relative watch that show. I told my friend he was on TV show that my teenaged cousin watched. I accidentally came across this and wondering what happened to him. It's good to hear he's doing well.

    I watched every episode of Hey Dude as a kid, and you know what? I can’t remember anything. Not one episode. Not one plot line. His name was Danny? MR. EARNST! That just came to my head. Maybe I smoked too much…cigarettes in high school. The one thing I did remember, though, because we constantly made fun of stuff we used to watch, was the theme song. We even made our own lyrics! I won’t subject anyone to that kind of filth, but sufficed to say, it was good times. Great video! Glad he’s ok.

      I vaguely remember two plot lines.
      1. Mr Earnst’s son accidentally broke his dad’s credit card trying to open a door. Then at the end of the episode, he was saved when a replacement card arrived in the mail saying to destroy the old one
      2. Mr Earnst hand carved a directional sign for one of the activity cabins and kept getting sidetracked every time he went to hang it up. Once he finally did, it was pointing the wrong way

      Were you and john working with Splatcon and it's panels/venues too? I was also curious if you guys got any more info from Joe while he was on his hiatus. You addressed all the rumors but I don't think we got a definitive answer on what he was doing in the mean-time and did he ever attempt more acting jobs?
      I can't wait to hear the next episode of the podcast. Let me know when you launch it and I will post it here on my community tab for the audience here.

    I wonder if SplatCon's cancelation was in part due to Quiet on Set and increased negative perception of Nickelodeon. Dan Schneider started becoming big as I was aging out of Nickelodeon and I only really watched All That. Never heard much drama about the earlier Nick shows other than Ren and Stimpy/John K.
    Anyway, bravo for capturing some of the magic of my childhood as well as solving the mystery of my adulthood nostalgia.

      I think it was more about poor marketing and promotion.... I live here in SoCal and I didn't even hear about it 😅.

    • @jamessnedeker4799
      @jamessnedeker4799 День назад +2

      Yeah, I saw a sub reddit finding out about the con due to its cancelation so that's the likely and unfortunate culprit. I did rewatch PushingUpRoses's retrospective on these shows and the biggest drama with this show was due to the Tuscon heat. The cast had a great experience otherwise and David Brisbin was making the cast crack up when the cameras weren't rolling. Glad to hear not all Nick shows have dark secrets.

    • @Wild1Unknown
      @Wild1Unknown  День назад +1

      From a lot of my research mostly all the very early 90s shows have very good experiences with cast and crew.... Mostly because they had so much freedom to do what they wanted. Thus they had fun making their craft.

    I used to run home from middle school so I wouldn’t miss a minute of Hey Dude. Danny was my over all fav, but it wasn’t lost on me that his acting was lilted if not dry. I was so excited when Melody married Ben Stiller in real life. She had the best comedic delivery of all of them, dork boss included.
    But there was something about Danny, he was perfect.

    I watched Hey Dude when it originally aired. It was arguably the second most forgettable Nickelodeon show of that era, with Welcome Freshman taking that dubious honor. The only things I remember are that owner's name is Mr. Ernst, there was an episode about some real cash getting mixed up with Monopoly money during a power outage, Ted had to dress up as a fairy at the end of that same episode, Melody wore a blue swimsuit and trained to be an Olympic swimmer, Danny fell off a ladder, and there was some misunderstanding about filmmakers blowing up the ranch.

    • @Wild1Unknown

      Agreed… I think people were fascinated with this one because they have found memories of Danny and the actor that played him and perhaps… they would find more of him in another show or film.
