During a recent episode ofThe Patrick LabyorSheaux, Matthew's older brother and hostPatrick Labyorteauxlooked back on the duo's days as teen celebrities starring on the hit TV show in the 1970s and early '80s. At the time, Matthew and Patrick had become household names for their portrayals of Albert Ingalls and Andrew Garvey, respectively, when they decided to visit a Renaissance fair being held at the Paramount Ranch in Agoura Hills, California, alongside actor Al Eisenmann.

When they got to the grounds, Patrick recalled running towards "The Kissing Bridge," which involved boys standing on the bridge in hopes of getting a kiss from a girl. Because Matthew was younger than him and Al, Patrick said he wasn't interested in trying to cop a smooch, and instead left to get a giant turkey leg. "We see girls around the corners of the Kissing Bridge, kinda checking us out," he explained. "[But] nothing is happening, and I see my brother with his turkey leg. That's not sexy, girls don't like guys eating turkey legs." Ted Shepherd/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Patrick continued, "We head across, and I see this terrified look on Al's face. He points behind me and he goes, 'Albert down! Albert down!' I turn around and my brother, in the middle of the Kissing Bridge, is surrounded by girls wanting to kiss Albert. He's still trying to hold the turkey leg and he's getting kissed by all these girls." Though it would have been a "dream come true" to him and Al, Patrick said "it was a nightmare" for Matthew. "Al's going, 'Albert down! Albert down!' and we run in there like a military squad getting him out to safety. No man left behind, and no turkey leg left behind," he laughed, adding how he was focused on getting Matthew off the bridge, "where international law says you can't kiss him."

Al, on the other hand, was trying his best to sneak some kisses during the frenzy. "But it was a very traumatic experience for my brother that he had to work out all by himself, eating a turkey leg, because Al and I were off to the other part of the Renaissance fair," Patrick added.
