Good people, what's up, what's up? It's Questlove. So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actress and producer Jamie Lee Curtis from Routines to Recovery, True Lies, and a certain Jermaine Jackson music video. Jamie's real and raw, and it's something I really admire about her.

84.473 - 99.381 Unknown

I am so happy that I'm the head in charge at 67, that I have the perspective that I have at my age to really be able to put all of this into context.

209.53 - 229.787 Danielle Fishel

And he's like, and there's Will. He's like, The handsomest, coolest guy with the teen bead hair and everything. And he's asking me for advice. How do I talk to this girl? It was so adorable. I was like, no, that sounds like Will. He's like, I just remember being like, dude, like you're asking me. I can't help you. Like you got to just talk to her.

0

229.767 - 244.686 Danielle Fishel

But apparently you were trying to like talk to some girl on set and he was like just baffled, but he loved you. He was like, yeah, Will and I had a great time. It was so fun to hang out with him. What's his name? Charles. I actually don't know his last name, but yeah, but he was the nicest guy. Oh, that's good.

0

244.706 - 260.625 Danielle Fishel

First of all, we're going to blow past the fact that you're out there making new friends. I mean, are you surprised? But it's just, it still hurts occasionally. I mean, when you realize that we're not enough for you. Oh, well, no, but you should know that because he has the opportunity to hang out with us.

0

260.845 - 261.966 Unknown

And never does.

0

261.986 - 275.082 Danielle Fishel

When we are on the road, you'd think, well, who else would you hang out with? Guess what? The answer is almost anyone else. Anyone else is the answer for Ryder. Anyone else. Be like, hey, you guys, I spend a lot of time with you. No, you don't.

275.242 - 275.762 Unknown

Yes, I do.

276.423 - 278.826 Danielle Fishel

We're here to tell you, no, you don't.

280.038 - 281.38 Unknown

Yeah.

281.42 - 293.619 Danielle Fishel

You guys don't come out with me. I'm always like after after a show, I'll be like, hey, let's go get a drink. Let's go get some food. And you guys are like, I'm going to my room. I'm ordering in and I'm going to sleep. Hold on. Also, that's not true.

Chapter 3: What were the challenges faced with Danielle's wardrobe choices in Season 7?

293.859 - 302.232 Danielle Fishel

We do that when you're like, I'm going out with my friend. You don't even invite us to go along with you. So we go, OK, then I guess Will and I will go to bed.

0

302.212 - 330.451 Danielle Fishel

separately yeah that's yeah I agree anyway I thought it was funny to make a new friend and then have a story that went back to 2000 Will Friedle that I was like that's exactly my friend Will like you know him well I can't I can't talk to girls and luckily now I don't have to you don't have to you just have to talk to Susan which is great do you find it easy to talk to Susan Most of the time.

0

330.471 - 348.671 Danielle Fishel

A lot of times I'm shy. He has to call me and be like, how do I talk to her? How do I talk to her? Will, come on, man. You got this. I want her to go on a date with me. I'm still convinced. I just like to let her know that, you know, I try to keep her down as much as possible because if she finds out that she can do better than me, which she can, I'm screwed. She's out.

0

348.991 - 357.103 Danielle Fishel

So I just try to make her feel like, you know, this is the best you can do, knowing full well that she could throw a stone and hit somebody better than me. So, yeah, hopefully.

0

357.223 - 360.809 Julie Yang Silver

She did marry you, though, so that's a good sign. That's true. That's true.

361.029 - 392.634 Danielle Fishel

Yeah, it's usually a good sign that it can work, that it'll work out. So that's good. Welcome to Pod Meets World. I'm Danielle Fishel. I'm Ryder Strong. And I just don't know how to talk to her. So if I, I mean, do I just go, I'm Will Ferrell. In the middle of the night, Saskia awoke in a haze. Her husband Mike was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever.

393.556 - 404.833 Unknown

I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe.

405.374 - 407.736 Danielle Fishel

That's your home. That's your husband.

408.657 - 414.542 Unknown

To keep this secret for so many years, he's like a seasoned pro.

Chapter 4: What behind-the-scenes stories does Julie share from Ocean's Eleven?

440.091 - 470.363 Unknown

I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real.

0

470.864 - 495.534 Unknown

I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

0

499.778 - 524.017 Lily Herman

Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive frictions. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever?

0

524.438 - 539.308 Lily Herman

That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the underexplored pockets of the sport.

0

539.288 - 556.369 Lily Herman

In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

559.1 - 575.274 Questlove

Good people, what's up, what's up? It's Questlove. So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actress and producer Jamie Lee Curtis ahead of the release of her new thriller series, Scarpetta. I can honestly say I've never done an interview like that before.

575.294 - 588.246 Questlove

You know, at one point I shut my laptop down and we just started chatting as old friends, recent Oscar recipient. So we have some commonality there. I predicted that, by the way.

588.293 - 610.752 Unknown

And you said these words to me, dust off your mantle. Yes. And I looked at you and I said, what? And you said, dust off your mantle. And then I left and that was it. And then when all of that happened, I remember the next morning, I think I wanted to like write you and go, how did you know?

610.812 - 617.338 Questlove

Listen to The Questlove Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Chapter 5: How does Julie describe her experience working on The Mandalorian?

653.899 - 670.896 Danielle Fishel

Now is then, then is now. We are all connected. That's right. 30 years later, time is a flat circle and now it appears our classic 90s wardrobe is again in style and being marketed to young kids and adults prepping for spring. How does that happen?

0

671.317 - 695.431 Danielle Fishel

How do short sleeve shirts on top of long sleeve shirts and sweater vests with military style fuzzy collared jackets and wool professor blazers find themselves available in 2026 decades later? That's the work of a good costumer. A few seasons back, we talked to the great Sarah Moskowitz, who was a driving force in getting us out of those XXL shirts and into clothes that actually fit.

0

695.952 - 718.08 Danielle Fishel

But from seasons three through seven, there was another name we remembered fondly. And that is this week's guest. Young enough to be a part of our crew, she came from the world of Martin Lawrence, working on his stylistically forward sitcom and movies, and then joined us and stayed through the finale. And since those days, her resume is chock full of projects cooler than Boy Meets World.

0

718.42 - 745.553 Danielle Fishel

We've got Vampire Diaries, Breaking Bad, Ocean's Eleven, American Horror Story, and recently, a show that earned her an Emmy nomination, Star Wars The Mandalorian. How she was unable to get us cast as stormtroopers, we will never know. And so now we are excited to welcome a crew favorite to Podmeets World. The reason our costumes are now, years later, hip with the kids, it's Julie Yang Silver.

0

746.214 - 762.4 Danielle Fishel

Julie, are you there? Yes, hold on. Oh my God, it's so good to see you. Oh my God. Thank you so much for being here. You have not changed a single day.

762.42 - 769.996 Julie Yang Silver

You look exactly the same. Everybody looks the same. Oh my gosh. Look at you guys.

770.597 - 808.506 Danielle Fishel

Hi, we're so old now. It's been like 25 years? Yeah. I mean, I don't think I've seen you since the show ended, right? Yeah. No. So 26 years, 99 really. I mean, the show went off in 2000, but. Oh my gosh, Will! We are so happy to see you. And I want you to know like 95% of our memories of you involve the idea that you were very, very cool. So will you please set the record straight?

808.686 - 813.333 Danielle Fishel

Were you very cool? I was very cool.

Chapter 6: What unique challenges does costume design in sci-fi involve?

813.553 - 829.498 Danielle Fishel

I felt so close to your age. I thought you guys were amazing. And I mean, there's a whole story behind it. I mean, I look back now and I'm like, holy crap. I was 26.

0

830.8 - 831.081 Julie Yang Silver

Yeah.

0

832.403 - 861.941 Danielle Fishel

Which is so weird because it felt like I was so much older. Right. And you guys really weren't. I mean, I wasn't that much older than you. No. Especially you, Will. No. Wait, so you were 26 when you started or when you finished? No, I think I was, I was 26 when I started. Cause I think, yeah. In 90. You started in like 96. Yeah. Yeah. You I mean, I was not that much older. No. So I was 16 then.

0

862.181 - 882.96 Danielle Fishel

And Will would have been like, what, 20, 21, 20, 21. Yeah. Wow. Like that. Yeah. Oh, my God. So funny. I there was one of the first things I said when we were talking about having you on and Jensen was asking about, you know, things that we remember. And I said more than any other crew member. It felt like you were just our age. Yeah. Hundred percent.

0

882.98 - 891.885 Danielle Fishel

I mean, Julie, you must have been the youngest crew member then. Right. I was. I don't know if you guys recall, but I went and got my U.S. citizenship.

Chapter 7: How has Julie's approach to costume design evolved throughout her career?

893.527 - 918.686 Danielle Fishel

And I went and got it. It was on a Friday night. We were taping and I went and got sworn in. And then I came back to the show. We were just started. And I was like, yeah, I'm legit. And I had like my little thing. They put me on camera and I was like, this is so weird. Oh, my God. That's right. So it would have been a Thursday night because we taped on Thursdays. That's right.

0

918.786 - 925.132 Danielle Fishel

It would have been a Thursday night, but I just remember it was the best time with you guys.

0

925.433 - 925.953 Julie Yang Silver

Yeah.

0

926.554 - 941.007 Danielle Fishel

It really was. So much fun. Another thing I have to talk to you about, because again, I've been so excited to have you on and we've talked so much on our podcast, so much about Will and I smoking.

0

941.728 - 941.828

Yeah.

944.035 - 973.791 Danielle Fishel

I think I'm now at the ripe old age of 44. I think I'm old enough to admit to my mother that the very first cigarette I ever had was one I stole from Julie. Corrupting the youth. She had a pack of smokes like in her bag. And I was like, oh, was it Marlboro Reds? No, they were lights.

973.872 - 975.173 Unknown

Lights? Marlboro Lights?

975.474 - 994.04 Danielle Fishel

Yeah. I remember going out with Will and he would be like outside, be like, all right, have a cigarette. Yeah. And I, you were like away from your bag and I think you knew, I think you kind of knew I was stealing cigarettes from you and you were just like, I'm not going to pay any attention to this.

994.5 - 1005.936 Danielle Fishel

But I literally, my first cigarette I ever had was one I stole out of your bag and then smoked alone like a weirdo.

Chapter 8: What lasting impact did working on Boy Meets World have on Julie?

1044.44 - 1061.345 Danielle Fishel

You were like, oh, my God, I never saw this. So funny on Instagram. I don't remember. Okay. Well, I just wrote to you on Facebook. Yeah. Mine was on Facebook. Yeah. Yeah. Cause when, when, when we, um, when we talked about wanting to have you on, I said, let me see if I can find her on Facebook.

0

1061.365 - 1088.161 Danielle Fishel

And then I found you on Facebook and saw your message and was like, Hey, just seeing this, uh, which was the truth. Danielle's got a history of maybe not seeing messages so much on Facebook. Um, We are so happy to have you here. I have to know, I want to jump into, what is your costuming origin story? How did you get the job on Boy Meets World? Was Boy Meets World your first job?

0

1088.241 - 1107.557 Danielle Fishel

How did you start at such a young age? Okay, so I did go to a fashion school for like a year. I couldn't afford it. And I ended up just, I was going to merchandise marketing and I was at FIDM, couldn't afford my second year. So then I was like, okay, well, I'm just going to keep working in the industry.

0

1107.908 - 1135.721 Danielle Fishel

So cut to a couple of years later, I was dating this guy who was a stage manager and the company I worked for went under. And so he was like, hey, do me a favor. Can you bring me this, you know, this thing that I left at my house? And I was like, yeah, sure. No problem. So I go and I drop it off. And he introduced it was back in the. Oh my gosh, the Power Ranger era, the entertainment.

0

1136.483 - 1143.117 Danielle Fishel

So it was a show called Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills.

1143.498 - 1147.146 Julie Yang Silver

Awesome show. Awesome show. Awesome show.

1147.126 - 1171.918 Danielle Fishel

I ended up meeting the designer there and Eddie Castro, who was phenomenal. And him and I just kind of hit it on. And he was super great. And he was like, oh, will you come help me on something? And I was like, yeah, sure. And he's like, I'll pay you $100. And at that time, I wasn't working. I was actually helping out in my parents' restaurant. And so I was like, sure, sure.

1171.898 - 1200.838 Danielle Fishel

Come to find out it was like 16 hours. Oh, for a hundred dollars, a hundred bucks. But I had the best time I, and it was like a commercial. So there was like food galore catering. I was like sucked in by the food. And I thought, oh, well, this looks like fun. Craft service, gotcha. That's how they get you. That's how they get you. That's how they get you. It totally did. So it went really quick.

1201.88 - 1229.324 Danielle Fishel

I was really lucky. Got started with him. And within about a year, I got into the union. Amazing. And I was working for an actor that I decided not to go back to work with him. And... My friend Eddie calls me up and he was like, hey, they're looking for, you know, like a supervisor slash designer on this kid show called Boy Meets World. I'm like, you've got to be shitting me.
