WHERE IT’S SET TO GET UNDERWAY LATER TODAY. AND CHASE, YOU ARE JOINED BY SOME SPECIAL GUESTS. AND THIS IS VERY NOSTALGIC FOR A LOT OF US. YEAH, VERY SPECIAL GUEST. YOU KNOW, MY KIDS GREW UP WATCHING THESE GUYS, BUT I ALSO WATCHED THEM. YOU KNOW, NO GUILTY PLEASURE, WHATEVER. BUT YEAH, WE’RE AT GALAXYCON. WE’RE GOING TO TALK WITH THE CAST OR THE STARS OF BLUE’S CLUES. I KNOW A LOT OF YOU REMEMBER THESE GUYS RIGHT HERE. STEVE BURNS, DONOVAN PATTON, AND JOSHUA DE LA CRUZ OR STEVE? JOE AND JOSH FROM BLUE’S CLUES. MAN, OH MAN, I GOT GOOSEBUMPS. IT’S SO COOL SEEING YOU GUYS. IT’S ALSO SO I WE’LL TALK. WE’LL START WITH YOU, STEVE. I MEAN, JUST YOU’VE BEEN IN THE SHOW FOR THE LONGEST, RESTARTED THE SHOW. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THAT PROGRESSED. OH, I WAS JUST, UH, AN ACTOR IN NEW YORK CITY, AND I AUDITIONED FOR THIS CRAZY BLUE’S CLUES SHOW, AND IT WAS IMMEDIATELY, UM, HAD THIS CONNECTION WITH WITH AN ENTIRE GENERATION. IT WAS A CRAZY, WILD RIDE THAT NO ONE ANTICIPATED. AND THEN I HANDED IT OFF TO BETTER PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, BETTER, BETTER PEOPLE. OKAY. AND THEN SECONDLY, IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, WE HAD DONOVAN PATTON. YEAH. I WAS A SIMILAR THING WHERE I WAS WAITING TABLES. I WAS UP FOR BLUE’S CLUES AND BLAIR WITCH, TOO, AT THE SAME TIME. IT WAS A REALLY ODD CIRCUMSTANCE. I HAD A SIX YEAR OLD LITTLE SISTER WHO WHO WAS, YOU KNOW, THE PERFECT AGE FOR THE DEMOGRAPHIC. BY THE TIME I ACTUALLY, LIKE, GOT THE JOB AND AIRED. AND SO I GOT TO SEE HER LIKE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SHOW THROUGH HER EYES WHEN I, WHEN I FINALLY AIRED, IT WAS, UH, IT WAS VERY CUTE. YEAH. AND YOU CAME ON AS STEVE’S BROTHER, RIGHT? YES. YEAH. AS JOE. YOU SEE THE RELATION? YEAH. WELL, YOU WENT TO. WELL, YOU WENT TO COLLEGE. YES. WAS THAT IT? YES. WENT OFF TO COLLEGE AND THEN. AND THEN YOU CAME IN AND TOOK OVER. HOW, HOW I MEAN, HOW’S IT HELPED YOUR CAREER? OH MY GOSH, I THINK IT’S HELPED ME AS A PERSON MORE THAN, THAN ANYTHING. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY FOR CAREER WISE, IT’S A DREAM THAT I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WANTED. AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT HERE, I’M JUST SO IN LOVE WITH THE JOB. BUT AS FAR AS HELPING ME, ME PERSONALLY, YOU KNOW, THE CHARACTER JOSH IS A CHARACTER, BUT IT’S THERE’S SO MUCH OF OUR OURSELVES ARE IN THIS ROLE AND AND THE CHARACTER JOSH IS EVERYTHING THAT I ASPIRE TO BE, YOU KNOW, PATIENT, VULNERABLE, NOT AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP. THAT’S SOMETHING THAT I’M ALWAYS TRYING TO TRYING TO TO DO IN MY, IN MY LIFE. AND, UM, SO IT’S JUST BEEN A GIFT IN THAT SENSE. YEAH. I KNOW MY KIDS AND ME, I MEAN, WE’VE LEARNED A LOT FROM ALL THE LESSONS THAT YOU TAUGHT DURING THE SHOW AND ALL THAT. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT. EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU NOW. LIKE WHERE ARE THEY NOW? WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW? UH, WELL, RIGHT NOW JOSH TALKS ABOUT ALWAYS ASKING FOR HELP. THAT’S MY FAVORITE LESSON FROM BLUE’S CLUES. I MEAN, IT WAS AN EDUCATIONAL SHOW, BUT I LEARNED A LOT FROM STEVE, FROM BEING STEVE. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT STEVE TAUGHT ME IS THAT IT IS TOTALLY OKAY TO ASK FOR HELP. I KNOW IT’S EARLY IN THE MORNING, BUT IT IS. AND THAT IS ACTUALLY A PROFOUND ACT OF COURAGE. AND I GO AROUND COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND THINGS, AND I TALK A LOT ABOUT MY JOURNEY WITH DOING THAT AND AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS. WOW. JOSH. YEAH. YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WANTED TO BE IN CHILDREN’S TELEVISION, BUT NOW THAT I HAVE BEEN AT HERE FOR FOR FIVE, ALMOST FIVE YEARS NOW, IT’S A DREAM. AND SO WE JUST STARTED A PRODUCTION COMPANY WITH MY WIFE, AND I JUST STARTED A PRODUCTION COMPANY, AND WE’RE GOING TO BE STARTING SOME NEW CONTENT. AND SO IT’S REALLY, REALLY EXCITING, MAN. THAT’S SUPER COOL. YEAH, YEAH, I’VE BEEN DOING A WHOLE LOT OF, UH, VOICES FOR VARIOUS CARTOONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. CURRENTLY ON A SHOW CALLED GABBY’S DOLLHOUSE, WHERE I GET TO PLAY A GUY NAMED CATRAT. SOUNDS LIKE THIS, WHICH IS A, YOU KNOW, IT’S SUPER, SUPER FUN. AND, UH, YEAH. AND IT’S BEEN AWESOME. AND NOW WE’RE ALL IN OKLAHOMA CITY. WE GET TO MEET A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE. IT’S REALLY, REALLY COOL. COOL. BECAUSE WITH THIS EXPERIENCE BEING HERE AT GALAXYCON, WE GET TO MEET PEOPLE AND WE DON’T, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU MAKE A TELEVISION SHOW, YOU DON’T SEE THE IMMEDIATE EFFECT THE WAY YOU WOULD IN A THEATER OR DOING A CONCERT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW SOMETHING IS. AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SEE WHAT THE SHOW HAS MEANT TO THE PEOPLE THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WATCH IT, THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY MATTER, THE PEOPLE, THE REASON FOR THE SHOW EXISTING, YOU KNOW, AND WHEN YOU HAVE CELEBRITIES COME UP TO YOU AND SAY, HEY, I USED TO WATCH YOU AND YOU’RE LIKE, WHAT? THAT’S KIND OF COOL. NOW, YOU STARTED OUT AS IN A ROCK BAND, RIGHT? OR IS IT? I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT. OKAY. GO. YEAH. OKAY. SO I’M ALSO A MUSICIAN AND I WROTE AND SING THE THEME SONG TO YOUNG SHELDON THAT THAT TV SHOW. BUT THE COOL THING ABOUT THAT IS I WORKED WITH A BAND FROM RIGHT RIGHT HERE, MY FAVORITE BAND IN THE WORLD, THE FLAMING LIPS. AND THOSE ARE THE GUYS I WORKED WITH ON THAT MUSIC. AND NOW THAT’S KIND OF LIKE WHAT I DO, AND I’VE BEEN COMING TO THIS TOWN FOR LIKE 25 YEARS. I LOVE OKLAHOMA CITY. I IT’S GROWN LIKE CRAZY NOW. THERE’S LIKE SO MUCH NEW STUFF TO DO.
