Sid hasn't worked his magic yet. I don't agree with that. And the reason why is that what makes the show as emotional as it is, I know you guys say it's the score oftentimes. I am seeing, I remember my experience on the show
um the very very first and we can get into like more of the granular details of like what happened early on and how it started but my experience on the show time and time again was seeing picture that already moved me and i had to sort of like i had to find that balance between just like giving just enough sort of push to maybe open up the tear ducts a hair more.
And it was, cause it was already there. I'm telling you, it was already there. It was shot beautifully. It was performed beautifully. It was written beautifully. So I never felt like I had to cover up anything that wasn't there. And that's what the magic of all that together is what made the show, I think, great, is all of that.
So Dan and I went to college together. It's going to be crazy. Yeah. We were freshman year hallmates.
It's nuts. This is you, Penn. This is you, Penn.
This is going to give you a sense of our age. We're talking about 1994. Oh, my God. Freshman year.
94, we were hallmates. And... And my sort of experience freshman year, like I was known in the hallway, in our hall for singing karaoke into our Iowa stereo system we had. There was like these karaoke sound systems and we would turn the speakers outward from our window into the quad. Wow. And as people would go by, I would just start like heckling people or just singing songs.
People would look up. And then Dan would sometimes hang in the room with us. And it was just, we developed this sort of, friendship just through, in the hallway, you kind of see what your other kids you go to college with are doing. And Dan and I just gravitated towards each other. We became really good friends. And then we lived together the following year in a house together.
Dan had an Indian roommate. That was like the only connective thing between us. But we didn't really, I don't know what it is. We have very different interests, right? And I was an acapella dork, like singing in acapella group. And Dan and like our hallmates, people would come to the shows.
But Dan's strength, and it's still his strength to this day, is that he's able to bring people together from all walks of life who are very different and put them all together in one room and say, you all belong. This is a very Fogelman thing to do without realizing he's doing it. It's just how he, it's in his DNA.
Dan assembled a house of, It was like a motley crew of guys. It was like, you know, Indian acapella dork. Stud. Excuse us. Indian acapella stud dork. Stork. Stork, you said? Stork, yeah. Stork. They were like basketball players, football players. Wow. So it was like all these jocks and then like, you know, some nerdy kids. I was in the nerdy.
It was at Penn, there were like these, there was off-campus living in these like, in these, in these old, like beaten up, beat up little homes that had like, you know, your room was maybe like 150 square feet. Okay. And so we all, he put this house together and he put all of us together. And then we lived together this sophomore year and had an amazing time, great experiences together.
But it was like the first, and in, in that sophomore year when we lived together, we would be wasted at like three o'clock in the morning. And I remember these conversations, it was me, Dan, and another one of our friends. And Dan would always say, he's like, Dan's like, I'm talking about himself. Dan's like, I'm going to be a famous writer one day.
And he goes, Sid, you're gonna be a famous musician one day. And our other friend, Chris, he's like, you're gonna be a famous lawyer one day. And we'd get drunk and just talk about our future. Chris is homeless now.
Two out of three ain't bad. Yeah, right, right. Dan and I are not friends with him anymore. Chris ended up becoming assistant U.S. attorney for New York.
Right. But Dan was always like, he had this feeling about all of us that we were going to pursue these careers. And it was just the thing that we'd fantasize about when we'd be after a bunch of drinks and just hang out. And so that was always... It's interesting, from a very early age, Dan saw me performing. He saw me writing music, he saw me singing.
At this point, we've known each other longer than we haven't. We met when we were 17. And so he knew sort of what I could do musically, even from a young age. So, you know, fast forward several years later, I was in a band, we would tour.
A band is called Gold Spot.
And we played in LA and Dan would be like one of five people coming to the shows. It was like, that was a support always. But he always knew and recognized what I did. He knew where the music came from. And so when it came time to eventually hire me on something, he called me on another show. What was the first thing you guys did together?
So I had just come back from tour and my record came out in London and it totally flopped. And I came back and I was just trying to figure out what my next steps were. Like, I was like, I'm going to be in a band. I was like, I'm going to make records. And, um, and Dan called me and I never called him about it. He just, cause I was like, I didn't want to like, feel like I needed a gig or something.
