Hey, Fannaritos, and welcome to an incredibly special episode of How Rood Tanneritos.

In case you're new here, I've been carrying a torch for a very special person for the last 36 years.

I first fell in love with those baby blue eyes and curly mushroom top hair in 1988 when he sang the very first single for new kids on the block,

please don't go girl. I've followed his career ever since and never in my wildest dreams

did I think I would ever meet him, let

alone become friends with him, and now here we are, with him as my guest today.

He is the youngest member of New Kids on the Block, but his talent extends far beyond the group.

He is a true theater kid who rose to become a leading man, lighting up TV, film, and the

Broadway stage in hits like Wicked and Waitress. He made two appearances on Fuller House, once with

his bandmates in the season two episode, New Kids in the House, and again in the series finale,

when he officiated the triple wedding in the Tanner Fuller Gibbler backyard.

In addition to his acting career, he has also released eight solo albums, including his most

recent, Freedom, which he is described as a reflection of self-discovery and artistic

independence. And he's about to hit the road again with phase two of his freedom tour,

kicking off September 29th in Anaheim.

He is one of my favorite people in life.

Watching him on stage, doing what he was clearly born to do is one of my greatest joys.

But when your teenage crush turns out to be one of the most genuine, kind-hearted humans

you could ever meet, well, now that's a dream come true.

Fannaritos, it is my deepest honor to welcome to the pod, Joey McIntyre.
