Random Facts
-- Isaac Lidsky and Jonathan Angel lived together during the taping of the shows first season in a LA apartment complex.  Isaac was once quoted saying "Jonathan`s the one I know best. We hang out together and once he threw me into the pool fully dressed!"

-- Robert Telfer`s manager discovered Jonathan Angel and eventually became his manager as well.

-- Dustin Diamond and Spankee Rodgers once fought on set when Spankee Rodgers had an attitude about life.

Exert From: The Wave Magazine

TW: Really. I remember this one day when you got into a fight with Spankee Rogers. Do you remember that?

DD: Yeah.

TW: And you pulled out a butterfly knife and Spankee started saying, “Come on, bitch. Go ahead and cut me!”

DD: No, I didn’t pull a knife on him. I used to carry one of those Leatherman tools with the pliers and screwdrivers. Because I’m a bass player, it’s like my tech weapon, my need all/be all tool, and the thing was, he was just being annoying and hood-like. He was struttin’ around talking about —

TW: You guys almost got into it. You were saying, “Dude, I could have you fired!”

DD: The guy is so unappreciative. He comes riding in on a show that I was a part of and that I helped build, talking about how life sucks and everything else and I’m like, “Dude, you’re making thousands a week. Life sucks? What are you talking about?” So, what happened was, I told him off and he came around the corner and I had taken my knife out and was cutting up a piece of rope that I had spied and needed to use for some odd… I don’t know, I was always doing something, you know, to keep myself occupied. I was cutting a piece of rope and he comes around the corner when I turned around and he goes, “Oh, got a knife, huh? I suppose you think you’re tough.” He just started going off for the wrong reasons. I didn’t pull a knife on him. I mean, come on. The guy is four-foot-seven… Let’s put it this way, it’s the same as people out there who send you fan mail and get together with you – especially, there are a lot of girls that will do this, who try to hook up with you – then try to have your kid because they figure they’re going to get all this money from you, or there’s people that figure if they hang out with you, all of a sudden they’re going to be successes. I’ve had two or three stalkers in my life.
