The co-creator of Phineas and Ferb, Dan Poffenmayer, was married to a Venezuelan for many, many years.

she's the mother of his children they're still very close even though they are divorced but um she you know as a venezuelan would show him my videos as a way to connect like remember when we went to this party and you asked me about this venezuelan tradition and he'd watch it and about i don't know how many years ago i think i think it was like yeah i think it was actually 10 years ago 10 years ago um i get a message uh i think it was on youtube and it was like hey my name is dan

And I created this show called Phineas and Ferb.

My wife is Venezuelan, and we'd love to have you over for a rip-off one day when you're in L.A.

Oh, shit.

And I was like, this is so weird.

So I reached out, and we talked.

And then I had a trip to L.A.

the next week.

Oh, perfect.

And I texted him, and I was like, you know, I'm going to go to Pasadena to meet you and your family.

And I'm in the Uber, and I'm telling the Uber driver this story.

And the Uber driver's like...

I'm sorry, you're going to a random man's house who claims he's this famous showrunner who you have absolutely no proof and I'm dropping you off there?

And I'm like, yeah, that's happening.

And he was like, I am not letting you go in there by yourself.

So he like waited for me actually until he did open the door.

How nice.

Five stars running around.

Yeah.
