mmmmmmm Disney…. yes, we're so Dean for this….
I remember Dean, he was a nice guy, too bad he never knew Alex was a wizard and they broke up in his dreams
“Sup Russo” always remember that
Wizards was an accidental thing that has become an iconic living legend that sort of helped everyone in thier careers. It is just awesome in a whole lot of ways and it is good to hear other people doing well.
I wanted Alex to end up with Dean instead of Mason
I still have not missed one episode yet ❤
I loveee episodes like this that really show these people are normal people who can live normal lives :)) I feel like in our media we’re so used to seeing these child stars spiral, and it’s so awesome that all of these first crushes or role models from this show, kept it together
Selena’s first kiss was Dylan Sprouse on Suite Life 24:00
No freaking way!! I think every girl wanted to marry Daniel when we were younger 😂
Dean still looking smooth
Selena Gomez first kiss in real life was me and her on screen first kiss was with Dylan Sprouse she never been single or went through a break up I'm ignoring all that stuff it don't exist in my reality and I'm ignoring the mention of Nick Jonas, Taylor Launter, Justin Bieber and others she was never with them it was me from the beginning she was mine since 2007
Daniel is such a real guy, it’s kinda refreshing to see coming from someone who worked in Hollywood
I actually loved Dean and Alex together. They were so cute. I hate how they ended their relationship so abruptly
Sounds like a grounded, normal guy and I love it. I just remember seeing him in other shows, then in WOWP. I'm glad he got the opportunity to be in a lot of episodes. I really liked his character.
Just finished listening, great episode with Daniel Samonas
DEAN ❤❤❤ So happy Daniel was able to be a guest on the pod!! 😍
He looks so much like james maslow
Awesome episode 😃
oh that man is fine
Yo Russo, I'm on the Wizards Podcast this week!!!
Dan talks like Jeff Wittek from YouTube 😩
Dean did wood carving and so does he?! He's literally dean that's so cool
This is EVERYTHING! I sincerely thank the three of you for creating this ❤❤
Btw that wasn’t Selena Gomez first kiss on show she kiss a random guy to get back at Justin
who else’s heart dropped when he said he was in a relationship 😭😞
Love this episode! Amazing conversation!!!❤️
I think David has add like me, he cannot wait with asking a question 😂 Dean actor seems so nice! 🎉So sorry he wasnt with Alex at the end, I like Mason so much, but Dean was a fit. Greetings from Poland!
I've been waiting for this day for too long ❤
HOLY CRAP DEAN IS CANADIAN
Dan is so cool 😎 in this episode.
Not Selena's first kiss. She also kissed Dylan Sprouse When she appeared on to life with Zack and Cody
Selena Gomez has said in interviews that her first screen kiss was one of the Sprouts twins on Suite Life and she had a crush on the other twin going into it I think
My fiancé is the same, he refuses to accept he’s a cat dad 😂
I loved dean as a kid im glad hes doing good he seems like a really nice guy
"I'm Dean and I don't test well" lives rent free in my head.
I remember him saying "Hey Russo, wanna smooch" Then I remember Mason saying that to Alex at the end of an episode
Dan and Jennifer would look so cute together
Ay yo Russo give me smooch !
Smarty pants was also a really great Alex and Dean episode
That "I shouldn't be around this person" anxiety is real! I don't have anxiety, and I experience this gut reaction. Unfortunately, I have yet to meet anyone platonically or romantically that doesn't try to "cut me in half" or use me. Where are the theoretical doublers? I sit at my chess set alone. I suffer the same fate as Jen, self-aware, drop-dead gorgeous, self-confident, highly intelligent, and with common sense to top it off. Men really don't like women having that combo, at least not where I'm stuck. The age old: "I'm gonna hold you to adult standards and not let you try and belittle out of obvious insecurity; How outrageous of me, please tell me more about how IM insane for wanting respect. Yes, it is your fault you cheated, why are you crying? No I'm not going to overreact for your ego." or it's just the friends who can't stand to see you/others happy or even having fun without them. That ending was a great reminder that being completely isolated is bliss compared to even a moment in the wrong company.
He started 7 businesses!! That’s amazing!! It’s awesome that he’s doing what he loves for a living and chose not to play the game in Hollywood. He knew what was for him and what wasn’t. Very awesome. A lot of wisdom came from this podcast from everyone. Thank you.
Loved his character on the show! Great acting and great chemistry with Selena. Wishing the Alex/Dean relationship lasted longer💙
i still wish dean and alex were endgame😭
talk about quiet on set
