| 0:01.5 | Oh my god. Okay, I do remember that. |
| 0:03.3 | Because you're with Zach Alfenakis, right? Yes. So I started Playboy, like, I have made more doing this than I ever would have made, acting, or anything else. And I don't think people relate. Thank you. My experience was completely different than what it was in the younger years of Nickelodeon. And I'll never know what that was really like. |
| 0:25.5 | 61 episodes of television is so insane to think about, but I feel like so much of life has happened since then. So is everything from that period a blur? I mean, yes and no. I oftentimes |
| 0:31.6 | think back to life on set and life on game shakers, and I'm so incredibly grateful. It was so much |
| 0:37.4 | fun, and every day was new. We didn't really know what we were getting into. We would go in for a table read and read the episode for the very first time with all of the producers and Dan and everyone else. So we were going in blind each week. And we didn't know if we had guest stars or animals coming in so it was always fun but now that |
| 0:56.1 | it's been so long since the show's done i keep trying to keep the memories alive and i think that's |
| 1:01.9 | the best way to do it of like just playing back little things that happened on set from like |
| 1:06.5 | one of the first days that we were on set we were just getting accustomed to everyone that was |
| 1:12.6 | working and we were upstairs i had the biggest crush on thomas like i i'm very open about that |
| 1:19.1 | i had the biggest crush on him whenever we started that show now no i see him like a brother but |
| 1:24.0 | in the beginning he was cute he looked like kid kid, and I was totally attracted to him. |
| 1:29.1 | He was not attracted to me. But we were upstairs in, like, the production offices, and there |
| 1:35.8 | was this girl named Karen who ran the social media for Game Shakers and Henry Danger. And I forget |
| 1:41.4 | what exactly was said to bring up this conversation, but something was said about like dream partners. |
| 2:00.8 | And Thomas was like, yeah, I date someone like Maddie who has like a fun sense of humor. And I took it as, oh my God, like he loves me too. Oh, it's going to be perfect. Like we're going to be on this show together and we're going to date. Honey, I was so tripped up in my head that we started walking down the stairs |
| 2:02.1 | and I pummeled down two flights of stairs. |
| 2:04.6 | Pulled the... to be on this show together and we're going to date. Honey, I was so tripped up in my head that we started walking down the stairs and I pummled down two flights of stairs, pulled the armrail out of the wall, ended up with a bruise from like my armpit all the way down to my hip. And yeah, that was what really like solidified. Okay, like we're a family now. And yeah, that changed my feelings for Thomas |
| 2:18.3 | after that because it was just like, yeah, this is not going to work. Would people ever ship |
| 2:21.7 | the two of you? No. I mean, I feel like the most ships that I ever got was me and babe, which, |
| 2:28.2 | I mean, I feel like in the way that the episodes were written, I don't think that was like |
