0:08
>> Oh my gosh. Pleasure to meet you, Gary.
0:10
>> And you'll have six minutes with
0:12
Cricket.
0:13
>> All right. Thank you. Um, so this time
0:16
of year, a lot of kids like yourself are
0:18
out of school and on vacation. Uh, did
0:21
you do anything special this summer?
0:23
>> Oh, yeah. Summer. Summer is the best
0:25
time to get up to shenanigans, I've
0:27
always said. And uh this summer was no
0:30
different. I like to uh you know
0:32
something I like to do is I like to go
0:33
to the beach and uh you know I I I go
0:37
out into shallow water with a uh with a
0:39
with a shark fin on my back and I like
0:43
to swim around and uh it really gives
0:46
people a scare. It's quite fun.
0:49
>> You're quite a practical joker there.
0:52
>> I guess I am. Yeah. You know, I I watch
0:55
your videos in Tik Tok and I saw that
0:58
recently you met up with Dr. Hines Dofen
1:00
Schmmerz. Oh,
1:01
>> what's that guy in real life? Is he as
1:02
bad as uh people say he is?
1:04
>> You know, yeah, I have to say I got a
1:06
real evil vibe from that guy. I I I
1:08
didn't want to say it when we were
1:10
making that TikTok together and and and
1:12
he was a real real nice guy for doing
1:14
that. Don't get me wrong, but just an
1:17
evil vibe all all around. I mean, uh,
1:20
the guy, uh, you know, he's always
1:22
inventing horrible, you know,
1:24
destructive innators
1:26
and, uh, you know, the the evil lab coat
1:29
and he's trying to, you know, kill that
1:31
little platypus. He's not a good guy.
1:34
He's not a good guy. So, I I watched my
1:35
back when we were filming together for
1:37
sure.
1:39
>> And I know that was just a brief
1:41
encounter, but what if you were to visit
1:43
Dofen Schmz and Danville in the
1:45
tri-state area? What do you think that
1:46
experience would be like? Yeah, that
1:48
could be a lot of fun. You know, I mean,
1:50
it's it's definitely a different big
1:52
city, right? I mean, I don't know where
1:54
Danville is in relation to big city. I I
1:56
think I think you got to take the five,
1:59
but I I would love to go visit. And um
2:02
you know, I I me and uh me and that
2:04
little platypus, I think he get up to a
2:06
lot of fun. I' I'd love to help him out
2:08
um with whatever he does. I I forget
2:10
what he gets up to, but it seems like he
2:12
has a uh a second life of sorts. But I
2:16
would I would steer clear of Dr. Dofin
2:18
Schmz because I just do not trust him,
2:22
man. I do not trust him. There's
2:23
something about that guy. Do you do you
2:25
get an evil vibe from him or am I am I
2:27
crazy?
2:28
>> No, you're not the only one. It
2:29
definitely other people have seen this
2:31
in him.
2:34
>> Okay, good.
2:37
>> And uh speaking of interesting
2:39
characters, uh you've been able to work
2:40
with some talented people recently like
2:42
Chad Michael Murray.
2:44
>> Oh, yeah. Martha Kelly and music star
2:46
Lucas Combmes. I'm actually curious
2:48
about
2:49
>> we just call him Luke, but we're on that
2:52
like that that kind of, you know, we're
2:54
that we have that kind of friendship.
2:56
>> First name basis, that's all.
2:58
>> Yeah, definitely first name. I Mr.
3:01
Combmes. It sounds so formal. Sounds so
3:04
formal. But yeah, I these guys have been
3:06
great, you know, visiting big city and
3:09
uh you know uh uh it's been so fun. And
3:11
I mean, I like meeting new friends, but
3:13
uh it's really interesting when that new
3:16
friend is someone like Chad Michael
3:18
Murray. It's been really great.
3:21
>> Cool.
3:22
>> And you know, some might describe the
3:24
Green family as a bit dysfun
3:26
dysfunctional. You can test each other's
3:28
patience sometimes, but in the end,
3:30
there's a lot of love. What does your
3:32
family mean to you?
3:34
>> Oh, what does my family mean to me?
3:36
Well, they mean everything. I love them.
3:39
They're good people, you know, and they
3:41
put up with me, which I I really
3:43
appreciate. Imagine if they didn't. I
3:46
mean, that would be tough, but they
3:49
accept me. I mean, especially Tilly, you
3:51
know, the two of us, we're two like two
3:53
partners in crime and then sometimes,
3:55
you know, honestly, sometimes grandma
3:57
gets in on that and so we're like three
3:59
partners in crime and then my dad, well,
4:02
he's like I guess he's like the the
4:04
constable.
4:06
He doesn't participate in the crime. But
4:08
uh but you got to have the constable.
4:11
>> Someone to keep people in line to.
4:13
>> Right.
4:16
>> And I'll leave you off on this. Um can
4:19
you talk about what kind of silly
4:21
adventures you and your family have
4:22
planned in the future?
4:23
>> Oh, yeah. We have so many silly
4:25
adventures. I mean, for one, uh we
4:30
I don't I kind of I kind of want to say
4:32
accidentally, but honestly, we do this
4:33
on purpose. We kidnap a country star and
4:35
we lock him in our basement and then we
4:37
force him to write an original song as a
4:40
gift for our daddy.
4:42
>> Nice. Is that the uh a forementioned
4:45
Luke or someone totally different?
4:48
>> Well, yeah, we like to call him Rusty
4:50
Twang, but some people do call him Luke
4:52
Combmes. Yeah, for sure. And uh man, I
4:55
have to say the song he sings, it's a
4:57
banger.
4:59
>> Nice. I look forward to uh you know,
