FRED SAVAGE: Hi, my name is Fred Savage

BEN SAVAGE: Whether on set or not, there was three kids in our family, and we were always playing games. And so it is really, really fun to kind of step back in time.
FRED SAVAGE: My wife and I both introduced our kids to a lot of classic toys that we've loved. They work for generations. That's what makes a classic.
BEN SAVAGE: I love, love, love playing Nintendo. I can remember vividly-- I believe it was '87-- the kids were given an original, brand new Nintendo, which was just emerging, and I remember we were so excited. Nintendo has been, and continues to be, a part of our lives.
FRED SAVAGE: I [? put ?] a lot of time playing Mario Kart, and now I've fallen back in love with it. Me and my kids all have switches. I'm enjoying my time at the top of the Mario Kart pyramid, but it's only a matter of time before my younger, smarter, more agile children snatch that from me. But right now, I'm enjoying the ride. Simon was a big game that we still play with the kids.
BEN SAVAGE: Talking about who wins, I probably give that one to my brother.
FRED SAVAGE: It's fun. It's challenging. It's frustrating. Simon has it all. Koosh balls, I just get boxes of them.
BEN SAVAGE: Koosh balls were a big part of the childhood, the upbringing. That was always kind of a constant on sets.
FRED SAVAGE: I still use them today. We love Rubik's Cubes at the house. I have them on set, especially when I'm directing. [? Whenever ?] you're stressed out, you can always fiddle with them. Big fan of the Speed Cubes.
BEN SAVAGE: I'm always particularly fascinated by the Speed Rubik's Cubes competitions. That's a big thing, so I think that will be my next goal, maybe to compete in one of those.
FRED SAVAGE: Goldfish has been such a part of my and Ben's lives from early childhood. We're super excited to partner up with. Now, with this new product and these new megabytes that are bigger and bolder and cheesier than the snack food that you remember as a kid.
BEN SAVAGE: Everyone has a different approach and a different methodology to eating Goldfish. I, however, prefer one at a time. I like to savor the flavor, I really do. Highly recommend it.
