Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.

Hey everybody, welcome to Movie Crush, Charles W. Chuck Bryant here, Home Studio,

Ponsady Market Atlanta, Georgia Friday interview edition, colleague edition, colleague, colleague for a long time.

For a long time dude, like fucking 12 years? Yeah, 12 years. You can curse on the show you know. I can? Isn't that exciting?

Oh, I don't even know if I'll be able to do it. I know right? It took getting you getting used to for me, but now I like have the worst mouth on the show.

I've heard a couple of episodes that are a little blue, a little blue, but in the best way.

So some of you might recognize this voice. I'm sitting down with Matt Frederick, one of my old pals, an old colleague.

We've been working together for like 12 years, like I just said, and Matt, you know, we all started out here.

I was a writer and you were in the video department. Yes, along you were kind of one of the first ones you and Tyler. Is that right?

Correct. Yeah, I came on as an intern in 2006. Wow. Yeah. 13 years ago. You were an intern. Yeah, I was an intern.

That's adorable. Straight out of college from what Georgia State Georgia State, film and video department. Yeah.

Right. So you got a job and that's when we were doing videos and we were making videos for the web site, for the web.

And then we got bought by Discovery and did like YouTube stuff. Yeah. Everyone was like, no one wants to see anybody anymore.

Dude, back in the day, we were trying to make podcasts that were videos to go on iTunes because there was a whole section on iTunes for video podcasts.

Right. That's how stuff they don't want you to know how it started. It was video. Yeah. It was. It was iTunes video podcast.

Well, that was the next thing coming out of my mouth is you're the one of the co-host of stuff they don't want you to know.

You are now a, what's your official title, executive producer? I'm lead executive producer. I know it's not.

I'm not taking credit for anything, but I remember when all these big transitions were happening. I met with all you guys who always thought of it as like, you know, little brothers and said, listen, dudes, which thing changes in the air.

And my advice is get on the audio wagon. I remember this clearly because I think that's where it's headed. And unless you want to go work at another company and do video, then be an audio producer. And you all did. Yeah. Like everybody.

Well, that's the thing about this place. How stuff works, you know, no matter who owns it or, you know, what entity is at the top of that name.

The people have largely unchanged. And I think it's because of the people that are here. I think you're right. Yeah. I mean, no one was like screw this. I'm out of here. No. Everyone adapted and changed. Casey, you Tyler. Yeah. Paul. I guess Paul was, I mean, he's, he's quote unquote new. Paul is newer Annie has been here. I didn't realize how long Annie.

I didn't realize how long Annie had been here. She's been here. What like eight or 10 years? I think nine or 10. Yeah. Yeah. That's great, man.
