1
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: How have we gone this long without discussing the gum wall?

2
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's great, the gum wall. That is disgusting

3
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: to think about that disgusting. I only remembered it because

4
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: I love reading all of the comments from our dear

5
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: listeners on Instagram. And this morning I was scrolling through

6
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: comments and somebody said, when are you guys going to

7
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: talk about the gum wall and the candy drawer in

8
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: the kitchen? And I thought, yeah, I don't know, but

9
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: I said, I wrote back and I said, oh my gosh,

10
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: the gum wall. I forgot about that. Can some please

11
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: say what the gum wall was? Writer taking away? Okay, well,

12
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: all I don't really remember because I don't think I

13
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: ever used the gum wall. But so there was a

14
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: wall is it behind the kitchen? The stairs the stairs

15
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: down from the kitchen or you know, and the technically

16
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: from where where Eric and Corey's bedroom is when they

17
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: come down those stairs, so upstairs at that wall, there's

18
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: like so listeners, the staircases on sets are very there.

19
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: They go to literally nothing, They actually go to just

20
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: another staircase that goes down on the other sidease that's

21
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: usually thrown together exactly doesn't feel exactly safe back there,

22
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: but a lot of fun happens back there. A lot

23
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: of fun happens where you're getting yourself like hyped up

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: to go out for your scene, if you're up there

25
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: with somebody else because somebody else has to come down later,

26
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: or you're coming you're going down the stairs with somebody,

27
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: a lot of fun conversation happens, and a lot of

28
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: coming and going came from that staircase. And somewhere along

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the line, somebody started sticking their gum that they had

30
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: been chewing that they weren't going to chew on camera

31
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: on the wall there, and it just grew and grew

32
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: and grew. I definitely more disgusting germs, much may you

33
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: excess to say, much like the bacteria, the wall itself

34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: grew and grew and grew. Well, this is one of

35
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 1: those things once once, like you have a kid, uh,

36
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, they start crawling under tables, And Indie started

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: commenting on the fact that no matter what restaurant we're in,

38
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: we could be in the nicest restaurant and there's always

39
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: gum under the tables. It's disgust stay. I'm like, who

40
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: are all these people at like, you know, a sushi restaurants,

41
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: chewing gum and sticking it under the table, but without

42
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: Now it's like become a joke. Indie checks every restaurant

43
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: we're in. He's like, Dad, three pieces, Oh my god.

44
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: He'll go to other tables if they're empty, and he'll

45
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: check under there. He'll like count them up in the restaurant.

46
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: And I'm always so baffled by it. But I guess

47
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: we were doing the same thing. I don't remember participating that,

48
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: you must we, but I definitely remember the candy drawer. Wait, now,

49
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: going going to the gum wall though, that staircase coming

50
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: down into the kitchen, if memory serves before we've had

51
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: well yeah, not only that, but wasn't it also before

52
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: we had the um student union in the later episodes

53
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: where then we would run out and get introd in

54
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: the student union. Didn't we go down those stairs originally

55
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: to get introd in the very beginning of the show,

56
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: like the first season or two, was like through the kitchen.

57
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: Wasn't it to be intro in front of the audience? Okay,

58
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think that I think it was.

59
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: I think it was through Yes, I think you're right,

60
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: that that's the way we came down. And then also

61
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: it was probably during rehearsal too. I know I was

62
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: I did not start the gun wall, but I know

63
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: I contributed a lot to the gum walls because I

64
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: chewed gum constantly. I was a massive gum chewer. Um.

65
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: So yeah. But and so the candy drawer. Who started that?

66
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: I think that was props, wasn't it. Well? I think

67
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: the candy drawer was started in response to the fact

68
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: that our parents asked Craft Service to take sugar and

69
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: candy away from Craft Service? Did they? So? I think

70
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: it was in response, Yeah, I think because you know,

71
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: they knew it was a set full of kids, and

72
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: on most most TV shows and movies, craft services like crap.

73
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: It's just like red Vine red sugar, just tons of

74
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: food and nothing things and coffee exactly. Yeah. And I

75
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: think what happened is that the parents on our show

76
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: gathered together and said, please, can we not have candy

77
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: and gum and stuff like that on the Craft Service?

78
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: And so it responds props provided us or maybe it

79
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: was probably for the grown ups first a drawer that

80
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: was like a secret just for the cast that we

81
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: could access our own gum and our own candy, and

82
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: then it just I seem to remember it actually started

83
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: as a gum slash tic tac to. It was actually

84
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: more like, if you need to freshen your breath, breath,

85
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: this is where you go. And then it slowly became like, also,

86
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: there's some Reese's pieces and some yeah, and then it

87
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: became more and more of a candy drawer. Wouldn't it

88
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: seems like that would be weird for our parents to ask,

89
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: because truth be told, our parents didn't really have to

90
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: deal with us for like a solid ten hours out

91
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: of day. It seems like that would have been something

92
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: our set teachers may have to take away for us. Yeah, well,

93
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: as somebody who has has constantly struggled with their weight,

94
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: gaining gaining weight on a set is like the easiest

95
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: thing to do because you're sitting around all day, you know,

96
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: waiting for your scene to happen, with just tables of

97
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: junk food everywhere. So it is it's one of those

98
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: things that it's like, oh, man, and of course I'm

99
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: not making the right health food choices. At sixteen or seventeen,

100
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, they put a case of coke in

101
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: my in my trailer every morning, and it was gone

102
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: by the time I left. So did like six cokes

103
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: a day. It's a lot more than six. And it

104
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: was a lot more than six. It was like twelve

105
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: to fifteen cokes a day. That was like my water

106
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: will oh it's awful. Well, I mean you were really

107
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: running on caffeine and continue it was well, I was sixteen,

108
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: it was time to grow up. Um, So yeah it was.

109
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: But it was true. I mean he would, I'm so,

110
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: this is the worst thing in the world. Was his

111
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: name Randy? What was our first craft service guy's name?

112
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Who was like the bigger guy. Craig took over. Craig

113
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: took over in the later seasons from another Steve. Was

114
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: it with like the mustache, Yes, the must and he

115
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: was the nicest guy in the world. And he would

116
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 1: put like a case of coke in in my trailer

117
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: every morning, and maybe the whole case wasn't gone, but

118
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: lots of it was. He was. He absolutely was. He

119
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: was my cocca, my coke connection to Coca cola. For

120
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: the record, it is Coca cola. Um, but it was. Yeah,

121
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: so it was you could just gain weight. So and

122
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: that's the first talk I had on the set was

123
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: I did one scene where I had to hop over

124
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: the fence and Michael pulled me aside and said, we've

125
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: noticed that you're starting to put on some weight. Um

126
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: it was around the time of a season. Was that

127
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: wait at first season? Oh? Absolutely absolutely, This was probably

128
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: half to three quarters the way through the first season. Um,

129
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: it was. I got my first year. We can we

130
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: can tell you're putting on weight. Um. And then I

131
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: don't know if you notice. I came back second season.

132
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: I was like thin because if you know which episode

133
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: it is, when we get to it, when you see

134
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: yourself hop over the fence, will you remember like, oh,

135
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: this is the week Michael talked to me. Yes, I

136
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: believe I probably will because you're gonna see my larger

137
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: than life frame trying to get over the tiny little fence.

138
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: But it was no, I was I mean the disordered

139
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: thinking we have around, Um, it's crazy. But I was

140
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: also eating. I mean, I was like living by myself

141
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: with my I was the first time by myself. You know,

142
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm not with my eating, my parents cooking. I'm like

143
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: having to make my own decisions and you're not making

144
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,679
Speaker 1: the proper decisions. When you're seventeen years old, you're eating

145
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: all the crap that you weren't allowed to eat when

146
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: your parents are regulating the food you had as well

147
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: they should have where it's like you're going to have

148
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: a green vegetable. I was like, I'm never doing that again.

149
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: So to be fair, it's it's a learning curve. You

150
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: don't know how your body reacts to things until you

151
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: try it. You're like, you know, because there are some people,

152
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: very lucky people who can eat whatever they want and

153
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: and or they work out a ton, but like find

154
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: that when you when you do live at home and

155
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: somebody else is preparing meals for you and making the

156
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: decisions about what is even stored in the house. Because that,

157
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: for me, is what makes craft service so fun, is

158
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: that it's a kitchen slash pantry that I had no

159
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 1: control over choosing. So to me, it's like it's almost

160
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: like grocery shopping. You go, what do you have exactly?

161
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: What's what is that? We got one of those? I'll

162
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: take one of those. I never have nine different cereals

163
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: to choose from at home, So yeah, I mean that

164
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: was always like, oh my god, I've never thought of

165
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: fruity pebbles and honeynut cheerios together. What a great eleven

166
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: Am snack. You know, that was always how it was,

167
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: like Reese's peanut butter cups and Honor pops. Of course

168
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: that's a great combo. Yeah it was a coke, good morning,

169
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: a coca in a cigarette, good morning. Yeah it was terrible.

194
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: episode because you know, a couple of weeks ago, Um,

195
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: I guess a few weeks ago, and now at this

196
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: point we had Marty York on and he is very

197
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: prominent in this episode, which is such a great episode.

198
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: Season one, episode nine, Class pre Union. It originally aired

199
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: November and um yeah, it's Mr Feenie gives an assignment

200
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: to the class to predict where their life will be

201
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: by their twenty year class reunion and core League gets

202
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: a little help from Major League pitcher Jim Abbott like

203
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: you do exactly. It was directed by David Trayner and

204
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: again it's my breakdown says it was written by Ed Dector,

205
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: but I feel like it has to have been Dector

206
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: in Strouss, right, they weren't wrote together, Yeah, I think

207
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: with I think some of the IMDb breakdowns they'll just

208
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: take like the first name, But it was Dector and

209
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: Strouss were always a team. That was they were constantly together,

210
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: like Laura Reynnolds and remember later we had the great

211
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: female Patty carr Um. You know, they kind of always

212
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: they always kind of wrote together too, so it was

213
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: always like that that dynamic duo, which is great, Um

214
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: Dector in Strouss. Do either of you have any memories

215
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: of Jim Abbott from filming this episode? No, you know,

216
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: I remember, I mean he was only there one day.

217
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: He was probably only there on tape night. So I

218
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: remember meeting him definitely and thinking he was a super

219
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: nice guy. But was it even tape night. There's something

220
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: that makes me think that it might have been a

221
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: pre tape, like he wasn't even there for tape night,

222
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: Like they ran him in for an hour or two

223
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, and that was pretty long. Applause. I

224
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: thought that that was it's spontaneous and natural, and so

225
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: did so did I when when I came back his

226
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: plays with squirrels on Girl Meets World, and we didn't

227
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: do that in front of the audience. So okay, this

228
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: is this is a good time then for me to

229
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: tell you the story. I just recently read an article

230
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: where somebody was interviewing Jim Abbott and they asked him

231
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: about his guest appearance on Boy Meat's World, and he said,

232
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: and I don't again, this sounds crazy to me, but

233
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: I have there was no reason Jim Abbott would lie,

234
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: so it has to be true. But he said he

235
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: was invited to set and he thought he was coming

236
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: just to meet the kids. And when he got there,

237
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: they basically handed him a script and said just just

238
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: hop in and do the scene. And he was like what.

239
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: And he was nervous because he had no acting experience

240
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: and he wasn't anticipating doing it and good and he's great,

241
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: but he agreed. He was like, okay, sure, I'll do it,

242
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: and he was literally just kind of thrown in. Jim

243
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: had no intention in the bedroom though, So there's no

244
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: way it was that spontaneous. But I wonder if it's

245
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: a miscommunication between like his reps or like the MLB

246
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: and him, you know, they're like, just go to make

247
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: an appearance, and he doesn't understand what an appearance means

248
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: because there's like a vacation, you know what I mean.

249
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: And so, But of course, as far as the producers

250
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: were concerned, he was guest starring on our show. Guest

251
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: starring on the show takes not only that, but the

252
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: whole the whole storyline focuses around the fact that Alan

253
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: is trying to, you know, otherwise than what happens. Alan

254
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: hears that story, he makes that face like hmmm, I'm

255
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: thinking about what I'm gonna do, and then he just

256
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: nothing ever comes of it like it. It was very

257
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: obviously written for the Jim Abbott appearance that he doesn't

258
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: his memory is that he was just he thought he

259
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: was just coming to say hi, and then he ended

260
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: up getting thrown in and and he was really of

261
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: us about it because he said, he you know, was

262
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: an actor, but he was so good. I still have

263
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: my ball. I still have the ball that he signed

264
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: to me, really I do. I still have the ball

265
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: that you can barely see the autograph, but it's there.

266
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: But I mean, I don't know why I'm surprised considering

267
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: you have the invitation to our season one Heck, yeah,

268
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: rap party or something, and he he keeps you I

269
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: do I keep. I keep all of my invites in

270
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: my invite folder right here, which is full of everything

271
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: I've been invited to. Thank you very much, And I

272
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: know we'll get to it quickly, but can we talk

273
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: about how the entire episode is about how Corey is

274
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: such a Phillies fan and such a fanatic and wants

275
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: to play for the Phillies. So they go and they

276
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: get a New York Yankee to come and talk to him.

277
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's obvious that they was like they just

278
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: needed like a baseball player. So the last scene, he's

279
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: literally dressed in Laker colors while talking to a Yankee

280
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: about wanting to be a Philly Um it it was

281
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: I just sat there watching it, like, Okay, this one's

282
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: it's like you're you're a huge Filie fan, but you

283
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: have a Yankees picture on your wall? I think not. Yeah,

284
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: it was so funny, but anyone will get to you know.

285
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: What's funny is that I did notice the Laker colors.

286
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't think they cared about that at all. But

287
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I Lakers for sure, but not like Oh color Cam

288
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: sports ball first and showed up and he gets the

289
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: most touchdowns in the nets, right, that guy, he's the best.

290
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: You got so many goals that you're so many weights,

291
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: so many wickets were scored. Oh my god. I did

292
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: think at the end of the episode, when Mincus shows

293
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: up with the basketball and he goes, oh, I realize

294
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: I have the wrong ball, I did think that's writer.

295
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: That's right. Writer would have brought Jim Abbott's book to

296
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: sign out of his giant Jean pocket. Can you sign

297
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: your unauthorized autobiography? Thank you? It's the first edition. It's

298
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: very exactly I rewrote the prolog. So I hope you

299
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: don't like. Okay, So um, I am back in this episode.

Speaker 1: there for great and Chris Kaier the thing. Chris Kier

315
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: was a great guy and an awesome dialogue coach. He

316
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: was mostly there for Lily, I think at the time,

317
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: but it was he was at the time. I don't

318
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: know if this has changed, but at the time he

319
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: was the youngest ring master in the history of Barnum

320
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: and Bailey. He was like twenty four years old when

321
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: he became the ring master and went on the road

322
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: and wrote this incredible book about what life on the train,

323
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: because there was like a Ringling Brothers train that would

324
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: go around the country and it was people o ding

325
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: and dying and they wouldn't find him for like days.

326
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: It was It's a great, it's insane story. Yeah, yeah,

327
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: so it was this just this craziness about him being

328
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: the ring master at like twenty four years old. Ye,

329
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: it's a really cool story. Do you think he thought

330
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: being on the set of Boy Meats World was equally

331
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: as crazy? Do you think it was a nice reprieve?

332
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: It's still wrangling animals, so knows uh. And then of

333
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: course as a special guest star, we have Jim Abbott.

334
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: And so in case you don't know, listener, who Jim

335
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: Abbott is. He is like a truly legendary pitcher. He

336
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: had a very impressive career with the Angels and the Yankees,

337
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: and but most notably he pitched a no hitter and

338
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: was born with just one hand, one hand with one hand. Yeah,

339
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: he pitched a no hitter with one hand. He also

340
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: has two hits. Have you ever seen how he does it?

341
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: He in one motion, he throws the ball and as

342
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: the balls leaving his hand, so he the glove gets tucked,

343
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: and he throws the ball and his hand keeps going

344
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: and it's right back into the glove. It's nuts. It's

345
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: absolutely insane to see his coordination. It's it's incredible. I mean,

346
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: it is a wild amount of talent and perseverance. So, um,

347
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: I can't The no hitter is impossible seeming enough, But

348
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: the two hits, which means he batted one handed and

349
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: got two hits, I don't know how. I don't know

350
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: how that talent exists. Um. I just I think it's

351
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: amazing that he's such a legendary baseball player. And people

352
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: are like, but tell us about boy meets World. Okay,

353
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: no hit? Y Like, um, yeah, creezy, Okay, So let's

354
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: jump into the recap. In the cold open um, we

355
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: see Corey recording himself on a video camera. Do you

356
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: guys remember the video cameras of the of that era?

357
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: They were just monstrous? But this was also just kind

358
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: of such a new idea, right that, Like, the kid

359
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: has control of the camera, isn't it crazy? And I

360
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: remember we did a couple episodes like this. Later on,

361
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: we did a whole episode sort of making fun of

362
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: reality TV, where Corey's like filming me getting out of

363
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: the shower and stuff. Do you guys remember this? We

364
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: did a couple of those. Yeah, is this the invention

365
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: of the vlog? That kind of went through my head

366
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: was it's like, there a couple of times we've kind

367
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: of hit the future without even realizing it. I mean,

368
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: it's essentially a kid holding his phone filming himself. Yeah. Well,

369
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: but this was a new idea. I mean, I remember

370
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: my family was one of the first families to have

371
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: a video camera. Uh my dad got one when we

372
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: were like two and a half, and it's it's part

373
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: of the reason that my brother and I became actors

374
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: is because we were the only family with a giant

375
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: video cameras. One of those Not only did you have

376
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: a camera that was huge on your shoulder, you had

377
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: to carry around a VCR on like in a suitcase,

378
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: a strap that you wore, and it was like this complicated, crazy,

379
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: clunky machine. But it was also how we started making

380
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: movies as kids. Um so it was definitely the error

381
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: where this was finally becoming accessible and everybody was filming themselves.

382
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: I remember this reminded me also of a TV show

383
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: that I had gotten very close to being on that

384
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it ever even aired. It was a

385
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: big TV show I think NBC was producing maybe a

386
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: season before Boy Meets World called News at twelve, and

387
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: the whole thing was that a twelve year old was

388
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: did their news report for their household, Like every night

389
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: they would go up to their house or go up

390
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: to their room and do a news report at a

391
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: newsroom because they had their own video camera whatever. So

392
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: they talked to camera and it was basically this scene

393
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: or this structure of this scene as an entire sitcom.

394
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: So funny. Yeah, I remember cameras to Our family also

395
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: had one of those huge cameras in the little pack

396
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: you are around, and I love watching all those old

397
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: videos too. So Corey is interviewing his mom, dad, and

398
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: sister on their way to Stephanie's birthday party, and Corey

399
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: asks why the baby of the family gets better treatment

400
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: and a golden necklace and why does the middle child

401
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: get ignored and Rusty says, Alan says it's because he's

402
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: the baby. Because the baby of the family doesn't prank

403
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: call people in Canada, she gets better treatment. And they

404
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: all put on coats to enter the cold tundra of

405
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: Philly in November. Writer, did when you watched this, did

406
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: you think? Okay, I'm apparently the only one who doesn't

407
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: remember the part of our discussion and I had no idea.

408
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: Guess what. Didn't care just didn't affect me because I

409
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: connected a jacket. I don't know, but I am didn't

410
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: affect you. So funny I saw I watched everyone putting

411
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: them on, and I thought, yeah, it's November and Philly

412
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: and look at how cold it is out there. It

413
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: all makes sense. You know. The funny thing about this

414
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: scene was to me, it shook because this episode for

415
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: me because you kind of watch it through your own

416
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: eyes when it comes to your character. Eric was such

417
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: the forgotten man throughout a lot of these episodes. To me,

418
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was so funny that they're talking about

419
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: how you know, you're taking one daughter out and I'm

420
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: the forgotten kid and Eric's nowhere to be found. It's

421
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: like he's not He's like not in the family at all. Uh,

422
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: it's because you're the oldest brother. You don't know, I

423
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: get it, but it was just understood that you had autonomy.

424
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: It was just because later get more lines. Man, No

425
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: it's not, it's because No, it's later Rusty Walker. Rusty

426
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: walks into a scene later with Eric and basically ignores

427
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: his entire existence. He walks in and just starts talking

428
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: to Court like he glances over at me and then

429
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: just starts talking to Corey. And every time I watch

430
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: it with su She's like, it's like he doesn't realize

431
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: he has another kid. Well, I think this is a

432
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: good time to tell you that you are not the boy.

433
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: I understand, I get it, I get it, I do no.

434
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: But this is exactly the drive that makes you a

435
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: great actor. Man. You were you were always like, well

436
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: I could do more? What do you need? What do

437
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: you need? What? When to chew gum and walk what?

438
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: I can do it all. At this point, it was

439
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: like acknowledge his presence, Like, my God, acknowledge you have

440
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: another kid? For God's sakes, jeez, that little Lily kid.

441
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: Lily was really funny in this episode. I thought, like

442
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: I thought Lily was legitimately funny in this episode was

443
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: a this was a good Lily and Betsy episode. I

444
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: thought it was really cute. Um. So then Alan warns

445
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: Corey no home shopping, which I thought was funny because

446
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: I just thought, yes, is I didn't really ever think

447
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: of Corey as being like a home shopping binger, but

448
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: who knows? Who knows what he was buying? And he says,

449
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: and don't break my camera. So the family leaves and

450
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: Corey of course immediately drops the video camera and Corey

451
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: assumes he will be grounded, which is fine. I also

452
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to point out they have not You could

453
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: tell they're still figuring out Corey's friends because he says

454
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: my best friends when he says, you didn't let me,

455
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: you didn't let me go to the movies with my

456
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: best friends, and any other episode five on which would

457
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: be my best friend. Yeah, yeah, so they're still trying

458
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: to figure out the group. You could that that rung

459
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: in my ears, You're right, And then we get our

460
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: theme song. So we come back from our circus theme song,

461
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: and um, we're in Mr Finie's classroom. Phenie is teaching

462
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: a lesson on taxation without representation, and Corey is dressed

463
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: as George Washington and Minkus is playing King George wearing

464
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: a crown, and to Banka's back, I'm wearing the same

465
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: dress I wore for the lip stick scene. So now,

466
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: in the couple episodes we've seen me, I've only worn

467
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: two dresses, white a stress and a purple a stress.

468
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: Is this probably your second episode? Then? I think this, well, yeah,

469
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: I think this is only my second episode. Wow, that's

470
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: to me. It's it's nuts to think about that. I

471
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: think the order probably when Corey's Alternative Friends and this

472
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: episode and then we filmed the Halloween episode and they, oh,

473
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: maybe because Marty said his last episode is the Halloween

474
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: episode when her Yeah, right, so this would have been

475
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: before that. Yeah, and so yeah, So Marty York is

476
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: also in this. He's not yet feeling the effects of

477
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: the death chair. It hasn't hasn't happened to him yet.

478
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: Um and Poenie explains that if you don't understand history,

479
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: you are doomed to repeat its mistakes. Corey wonders if

480
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: every boring person in history is named George, and uh,

481
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: he gets a bad look from Mr Feenie and for

482
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: the first time, for some interesting reason, George Poenie placard

483
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: on the front of his desk is cocked perfectly towards camera.

484
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: It's not facing the front and not facing the front

485
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: of the classroom, and is now facing just slightly out

486
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: so we can see the giant George. You forgot his

487
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: name was George. Here's a reminder. I know. It is funny,

488
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: those little things you you recognize either I always think

489
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: I always wonder if actors just notice them, or like

490
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: people who work in entertainment just notice that stuff, or

491
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: if fans watching also go, huh, that's strategically placed on

492
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: an angle, because by the way, it could have not

493
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: been so angled, and you could still perfectly read George Foenie,

494
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: but it is really angled right towards camera. Um Corey

495
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: says he's not interested in the past. He's only interested

496
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: in his future, and that's because he's eleven years old

497
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: and that's really what's um in front of him. So

498
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: Phenie gives them an assignment, which, of course Phoenie is prepared.

499
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: It's almost as if he knew it was going to

500
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: go this way. My question for you. It seemed like

501
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: he was like, well, I'm just waiting for a student

502
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: to bring this up so i can have this assignment

503
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: that I've had planned all day. Yeah, I mean, doesn't don't.

504
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: They later in the episode make a reference to having

505
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: done this assignment before too, So that's what I mean.

506
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: So it's like something that he does. So do you

507
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: think it was poorly written that it made it sound

508
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: like George is coming up with this on the fly,

509
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: or do you think that is a George phoene ism

510
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: where it comes up on the flaw. It seems to

511
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: come up on the fly, but it's actually been perfectly planned.

512
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: I'd like to think it's a George phoene ism. Okay,

513
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: me too. I think it's the fiction of the show good.

514
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: I like it. I have no problem with that. He's

515
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: just that omniscient gotch plan at all. Yeah, and he's

516
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: that that quick and clever that he knows exactly what

517
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: he wants them to do and how it ties in.

518
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: Um So, their assignment is to think about their futures

519
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: so that they can avoid the mistakes that they might

520
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: make before they happen. He wants them to figure out

521
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: what they will be in twenty years when they go

522
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: to their class reunion in the year two thousand. Mincas

523
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: coins it a pre union. Now. I'd like to point out,

524
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: in a completely related note, my mother was adamant that

525
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: the entire first season we braided my hair. It is

526
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: so obvious. In this episode it was done by a

527
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: crimping iron. It was pretty crimpy even it was done

528
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: by a crimping iron in this episode the first two.

529
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: So this is my third appearance on the show. This

530
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: isn't my second episode. This is the third, the third

531
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: episode I've been in that we've that we've seen so far,

532
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: and this one you can see where the crimping start,

533
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: where the iron starts in the hair, and at the

534
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: roots it's still straight. And so I texted my mom

535
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: and I said, Mom, I went on the air and

536
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: I said, for the whole first season, you braided my hair.

537
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: And she said, I think those two, those two episodes

538
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: I had to braid your hair just took so long

539
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: it felt like a whole season, she said, But you're right.

540
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm watching the episode two and it's definitely a crimping iron.

541
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 1: And then I have a picture of me and you

542
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: writer and Lee Norris, and my hair is in curler.

543
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: And so because Lee is there, I know it's first season,

544
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: which means eventually, in the same first season we go,

545
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: we eventually get to the big Topanga curls. So the

546
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: hair evolution just in season one was braid's crimping iron curlers.

547
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: Why I remember this, but I think it's big curly

548
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: like the big Topanga hair. When you do that great

549
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: scene with Ben when you're playing with playing basketball with

550
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: the sauce yes you're right, maybe the first tire like,

551
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but it is You're correct, and

552
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: that maybe the first is it? Is it? Is it? Really? Yeah?

553
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: That's I think that's the last episode. It's also big

554
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: curly hair in this in the episode where I have

555
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: a crush on you, is it? Yes, it's also big

556
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: curly hair there. So so I don't know, we'll see there.

557
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: There's about to be another hair evolution that's coming up

558
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: in the but I just wanted to let everyone know againvolution.

559
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: The memory on me not so good. But when I

560
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: noticed but I'm wrong about something, I will point it out.

561
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: This was a crimping iron. Mincas tells the class that

562
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: he believes he's going to marry to Panga. She says

563
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: she's flattered, but she doesn't know if she recognizes the

564
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: institution of marriage. And Mincas says he's seen the future

565
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: and it's me. So I did not remember this toll Topanga, Mincus,

566
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: you did. I completely forgot it. But the second I

567
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: saw it, I was like, well, that makes perfect sense.

568
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: Of course Mincas would be in love with Topanga. She's smart,

569
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, she's she's a good student. Like he, I

570
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: was like, oh, that makes perfect sense. She's different. I

571
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: mean it was that is that whole kind. I also

572
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: love Danielle how not only you, but to Pango was

573
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: completely unfazed by Lee saying, you know, we're supposed to

574
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: be together in the future. It was like you, you

575
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: could the easy sitcom thing is like, uh, you, we're

576
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: not going to happen, nerd. I mean something, no matter

577
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: what it is. And this was just like you kind

578
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: of considered it a little bit and then it was like, well,

579
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, it was just a completely different character than

580
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: you're normally seeing. Well, it was it was sincere flattery.

581
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: She was flattered. She really meant it. She was very

582
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: flattered that he would consider her as a potential life mate.

583
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: But the biggest problem is, I don't know if I

584
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: believe in the concept at all. And it has nothing

585
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: to do with you. It's just the concept that that

586
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: she's not sure she believes in. It's a really clever

587
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: way to keep the same tension of like a character

588
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: being rejected, right, but not make it the obvious, easy, simple,

589
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't like you. It was like more complicated and

590
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: layer than that, which is really smart. Yeah, I know,

591
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: I loved it. Um and I did remember that that

592
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: that that Mincas has a crush on Topanga and that

593
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: Topanga is you know, kind of neutral on the subject um.

594
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: But it's interesting because when we think about Lee not

595
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: coming back for season two, Uh, it's another thing they missed,

596
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: like they very easily could have had had Minca stuck around.

597
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: There could have always been some of that ten Chin

598
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: and yet we lost it with I mean, we lost

599
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: so many great things when Lee didn't come back for

600
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 1: season two, but that was one of them. Is that

601
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: that was that was like a whole tension that just

602
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: ended up being lost. Since we're talking about that would

603
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: have been it could have Yeah, which who doesn't want

604
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: to see more of those? Of course, since we are

605
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: talking about Lee very quickly, so David Kendall uh, one

606
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: of our awesome producers. Uh, he and I were texting

607
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: back and forth and apparently because we addressed this on

608
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: the show that Lee was in on the episode of

609
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: Why Lee Didn't come back, he said he was actually

610
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: in the room when the decision was made, uh, and

611
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: it was exactly what Lee heard. They wanted to age

612
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: up the show and it was a note from ABC.

613
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: So he said that was exactly what it happened. So

614
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: the whole arkle thing. He's like, I've never I never

615
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: heard any of that. I never heard anything about Julio White.

616
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: He's like, the story that Lee told is the story.

617
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: That is what happened while we were in the room.

618
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: So he had the story right right, and we did

619
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: talk about it too that like at some point we

620
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: jump up to like grade eight, we skip over grade

621
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: seven and and it is happened. It did happen that

622
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: they wanted to age us up. So um, well there

623
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: you go. We know we know the truth. They wanted

624
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: to age us up, and that's why Lee didn't come back.

625
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 1: But we sure did miss him, that's for sure. So

626
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: we are then in the cafeteria, Corey calls Sean Sean's

627
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: future as a tire salesman, which is his dad's job. Boring, writer,

628
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: what do you remember about this whole storyline for you

629
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 1: and what you were going to be for your future?

630
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: I just remember having fun, you know, being able to

631
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: wear a fat suit, and that it was that the

632
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: whole thing. Did they just stuff it with like pillows

633
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: or it looked just like a pillow. Yeah, I think

634
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: it's just a pillow. But I just remember thinking it

635
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: was funny and yeah, yeah, no, I mean this was

636
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: a good episode for me, and you know, I had

637
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: had stuff to do and jokes to say, and I

638
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: remember being very comfortable. Yeah, this is definitely post Alternative Friends,

639
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: So I felt like I belonged finally. You know, I

640
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: seemed comfortable in my own skin in a way that

641
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: other episodes I was not. Yeah, you do seem very

642
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: comfortable and very sure of yourself, and um, in the

643
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: nicest way possible, understate did like, just you're you're you're

644
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: perfectly understated. You feel very real and reed. Um. So

645
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: we're we're in there. We're in the cafeteria now, right.

646
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of things I noticed about this

647
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: scene that were very funny to me. Do you tell me?

648
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: One of them is o Rito's that was one okay,

649
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: which is great. Has a bag of that that the

650
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: D is crossed off, and it's just I love that

651
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: Ben and you can tell it's completely naturally doesn't realize

652
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: he's doing it, but it's such an eleven or twelve

653
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: year old thing to do, and he stops himself. At

654
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: one point under the table is swinging his legs back

655
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: and forth like you do as a kid, like you're

656
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: sitting there and you swing your legs, and you could

657
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: tell he doesn't even realize he's doing it, and then

658
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: he goes, oh, geez, and he stopped swinging his legs.

659
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: I thought that was great. And then for some reason,

660
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: it's the only school that offers real salt and pepper

661
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: shakers on the table um, which I thought was to start.

662
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: You're never gonna give little kids the giant real salt

663
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: and pepper shakers as if they're at a luxury restaurant.

664
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: They always had little I didn't even well, just I

665
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: noticed that. And then the extra that walks by, who

666
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: there obviously is supposed to be another teacher, is a

667
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven years old. Did you see the

668
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: woman who walks by in the background, it's oh man,

669
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: she makes Bill look like he's forty. So it's one

670
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: of those things where it's just like, I wonder why

671
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: they decide, like, well, we need somebody looks like a teacher,

672
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, but does she have to be ninety?

673
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 1: What I remember about these cafeteria scenes more than anything

674
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: is the taste of that juice are more ready red.

675
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: Stuff like that was because I had to drink at

676
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: every scene in this and it was always like a

677
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: kool Aid that they mixed and then refilled so they

678
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: weren't like wasting packaging. So every every scene they'd come

679
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: in and like refill that thing. And yeah, the flavor.

680
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: I've never liked Koolid or any of those sort of drinks.

681
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: So s it's sugar, I mean, just sugar. Yeah, I can.

682
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: I can smell it. I don't remember the taste as much,

683
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: but I can remember the smell and it stained. It

684
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: would stain the color of your your skin like you

685
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: drink the juice and above your lip. It would be

686
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: like pink stained if somebody didn't get it off of

687
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: you pretty quickly. Green Beans pretty much every time you said,

688
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: for some reason, I remember jello, but there's not. I

689
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: didn't see jello. So I remember eating jello a lot

690
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: and drinking that weird thing. But maybe I just made

691
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: that up. I don't know. Now. I think there was jello,

692
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: not not this episode, but there was jello. But green beans, Yes,

693
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: I feel like green beans all the time. Uh. So

694
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: Larry says he's going to be Phoenie when he grows up,

695
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: and then he has one of the most famous Marty

696
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: York lines, which is imitation is the sincerest form of

697
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: butt kissing. It's a very big shine for mart New York.

698
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 1: In the scene Um eating his oretos, and Corey says

699
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: he's the only one of them with vision and he's

700
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 1: going to be the center fielder for the Piladelphia Phillies,

701
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: and Sean and Larry laugh at him because he's not

702
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: even good in Little League. Corey says they need to

703
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: be men with good jobs, and then Larry and Sean

704
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: agree and then they bark like men a k A.

705
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: Tim Allen, Yeah, I was gonna say it's a complete,

706
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: totally yeah. But we've talked about how there were references there.

707
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: There were there were allusions to the sort of home improvement,

708
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: but it was clearly the number one show in the country,

709
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: so like doing this was sort of like a Beavis

710
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: and butthead reference. It was something familiar that the audience

711
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: would be like, oh yeah, it was definitely just the vibe. Yeah, absolutely,

712
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: he became a thing that you did every Oh no, wait,

713
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: it never happened again. That was the thing I always loved.

714
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: They tried something else, but that came from Tim Allen

715
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: stand up, right, I mean he used to. Actually it

716
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: was like his catchphrase essentially even before the show. Yeah,

717
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: like that kind of yeah, that kind of it was nuts.

718
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: That sounded like like um oh, never mind, moving on. Okay,

719
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: so dying dog. Yes, I let sound it a little

720
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: bit like a dying dog. But also it sounded like

721
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: our Cineo hall like, which that's the dog pound. Well,

722
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: that's the dog pounds, so that's the same kind of

723
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: what wait, can you do it? He does like he

724
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: goes like he does like that kind of barking thing

725
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: kind of I thought what he did was a thing

726
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: that it was like confused man where he was like,

727
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: oh he does that too, but he does this that

728
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: as a man. As a man when he would like

729
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 1: fix something or do something, he'd go like like, that's

730
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They're barking at the thing. So yeah,

731
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: I go watch a stand up he does this kind

732
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: of like I fixed the thing or like that kind

733
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: of barky thing. Yeah. Alright, well Google it's worth Google. Okay, Okay,

734
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: you're right, I'm going to spend the next hour just

735
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: googling Tom. To spend an hour googling, you're googling wrong,

736
00:38:52,360 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: my friend no our watching stand up? Oh god? Um okay.

737
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: So then we are in the living room. Corey is

738
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: doing his school project with his mom and making a

739
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: baseball card. She says that she will be forty four

740
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: years old at his twenty year high school reunion, which

741
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: obviously makes no sense. She's lying about her age. Um.

742
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 1: Morgan enters with a rainbow colored plastic like bead necklace

743
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: and explains that she traded her mom's gold necklace too

744
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: for that one, and Amy is obviously super concerned and

745
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: she wants to get it back, but Morgan says, nope,

746
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: she said black black, no trades back. So has anybody

747
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: ever heard that before? Never before, never heard that before either.

748
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: I think they just made it up. I think it's

749
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: just a thing like kids would do, you know. Yeah.

750
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: I also tell me why Amy is just cutting up

751
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: random small pieces of paper. I did wonder what kind

752
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: of business man? You gotta have business? I know, but

753
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: at least make your business, keep your hands cut something.

754
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: She's just taking small pieces of pa and cutting them

755
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: into smaller pieces of paper. Was the greatest thing I

756
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 1: did notice. A sitcom parrot fold laundry, put things away,

757
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: but that ye cut cut cut paper into smaller paper.

758
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: Maybe she was making confetti so that he could, you know,

759
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: he could throw he could throw confetti. Um, So Mrs

760
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: Matthews Amy calls Stephanie's mom and she hears, uh black black,

761
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: no trades back. So even the mom is in on

762
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: this and doesn't want to give back her gold necklace.

763
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: And so then we're back in the classroom and we're

764
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: at the mock reunion and Mincus, in an absolutely adorable suit,

765
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: tells Phoeney that he grew up to buy out Microsoft

766
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 1: and he married to Pa They just had their third

767
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 1: child named Rainbow Einstein Mincus. I think that's so cute

768
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: a combination of their of their too personalities. Corey tells

769
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: Sean he can't believe he showed up as a tire salesman.

770
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: Hold on Danielle. When when Lee came back for Girl

771
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: Meets World, was there any reference to him having a

772
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: crush on to Panga? There was? Okay, actually the first

773
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: time you see Lee, um when he walked into the

774
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: classroom because to Pango was there visiting Riley and was

775
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: talking about being a lawyer. And Um, the door, you know,

776
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: flew open and Lee was standing in the doorway and

777
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: he went to Penga, which is a call back to

778
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: an episode we haven't done yet. We haven't seen where

779
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: that kind of started, so we'll see how how that

780
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: like where that originally started. But it was, Yes, there

781
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: was a little bit of the playing off of like

782
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: I think Stewart Mancas makes a little bit of a

783
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: joke about well you you made a mistake not marrying me,

784
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 1: but it's all in good fun with Corey and whatever.

785
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: So and who played his wife on Girl Meats World?

786
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: Somebody somebody famous played his wife. Yes, so it was

787
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: Kristanna Locan who played Mancus his wife. And I remember

788
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: because I came and visited. Actually, Willie Garson was directing

789
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: an episode of Girl Meets World and she was in it,

790
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: and we reconnected because I hadn't seen her since she

791
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: was in the episode where like Corey and Seawan are

792
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: cheating on her because Corey's doing her and so that's

793
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: like where we have the phone call. Were like listening

794
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: to each other and like we have to meet up

795
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: in the library. It was a very famous, funny episode. Yeah,

796
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: and she can't wait till we get to that too,

797
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: because that's one of those episodes that feels like it's

798
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: in the forgotten, like the totally forgotten years for me,

799
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: where we will watch episodes, I'll be like, wow, this

800
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: is well, it's because it was because Corey and Panka

801
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: broke up, you know, for a couple of episodes here

802
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: and there, and that was one of those episodes where

803
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: you you, you might have been in it, but you

804
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: probably had a small part because you were you know,

805
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: you and Cory were broken up, and that was kind

806
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: ofken up, right, so funny. So yeah, alright, well there

807
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: you go. I can't wait until we get we have

808
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: so you guys were gonna be doing this podcast for

809
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: like fifty years. I thought about that last the other night.

810
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, so we've been doing this

811
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: for several we are now on episode soh man, we're

812
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: gonna be here forever. Well, by the way, you're also

813
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: wrong at saying we've been doing this for several months.

814
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: We've been doing it for like seven weeks. Oh wow, Okay, yeah, yikes, yeikes. Yes,

815
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be last and we're gonna optical flip to

816
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: six years from now. It's gonna be purposely not listening

817
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: to any of the episodes of the podcast, so we

818
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: can do another podcast where we listen to the podcast

819
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: for the first time ever. Listen. It's like Will has

820
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: never even heard any of these, So we've got to

821
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 1: do a re listen of the rewind It's gonna be great.

822
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: I love that. Will admits that he doesn't listen to

823
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 1: any of the podcasts because I painstakingly listen to every

824
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: single second, multiple times, trying to make tiny little cuts

825
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: here and there to make it. You know, I do

826
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: listen to but most most mostishly I love you, Will,

827
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: but I don't believe you listen to that. No. I

828
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: actually listened to and I listened to one last night.

829
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: It was great. It was it was the Ladies of

830
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: the Office, but it was a great podcast. Um, I

831
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: was super excited. So it was, and you sounded great, amazing.

832
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: That OMG is great. Yeah, Okay, So Corey tells Sean

833
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 1: he cannot believe he showed up as a tire salesman

834
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: and he shows up with a pillow in his in

835
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 1: his uniform. By the way, your little um salesman onesie

836
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: thing is so cute. I wanted now I want to

837
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: wear it now. Yes, the jump suit it's so great.

838
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: It looked soft and cozy and worn in and I

839
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 1: absolutely love it, and I did. I was gonna ask

840
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: you if that was a real fat suitor for its

841
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,919
Speaker 1: just a pillow. But you don't really quite remember, no,

842
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I just remember saying a line like, oh,

843
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: my dad'st my uncle's fat, I'm to be fat. That

844
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: was like a big joke. But that's so funny you

845
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: said the jumpsuit, because the jumpsuit has become like the

846
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: l A mom uniform, every every mom, like yeah, really,

847
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh it's the it's the hottest look in

848
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 1: l A right now, like for the last like five

849
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: years it's been. It was maybe even longer, like I

850
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: remember when Indie started going to school, it was like

851
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: all the moms would be showing up in those like

852
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: old school jumpsuits because they're super comfortable. But yeah, it's

853
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: become it's become the look. So it's funny that you

854
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: picked up on that, Danielle, and now you gotta get one.

855
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: You gotta get I mean, I would be lying if

856
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: I said I don't have one. I do have one.

857
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: The funny thing about the mom's loving jumpsuits is that

858
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: jumpsuits are actually the most impractical. They make absolutely no sense.

859
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: Every time you need to go to the bathroom, you

860
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: have to take off all your clothes like a kindergartener.

861
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: But it makes no sense. Yeah, well true, But I

862
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: mean now, thankfully women's clothes are starting to be made

863
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: with pockets, which is great. Like even dresses have pockets,

864
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: which is the best. If I find a dress with pockets,

865
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: I'm buying it the same thing, exactly the same thing.

866
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: It's the best. Um. By the way, I don't even

867
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: use them. I don't want to put anything on them,

868
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: my hands. But I like having like a dress with

869
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: pockets I can put my hands in. I mean, occasionally,

870
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: if I'm going for a walk or I'm going somewhere,

871
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: I just want a chap stick in, a credit card

872
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: or something in my in my pocket, I will use them.

873
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I just want to put

874
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: my hands in up eyes. Um. And so then to

875
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: Panga shows up and she is wearing a toga and

876
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: she is now twenty years later, she is the President

877
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: of the United States. Don't you have to be thirty

878
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: five to be the be a president? So why didn't

879
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: Phoenie say to her sorry, but this doesn't make any sense.

880
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: You're only thirty two in twenty years, you can't be president.

881
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: It really egged me that A didn't think that at all.

882
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: So that's my point is that he nitpicks Corey for

883
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: not thinking through his plan pass and to pas you know,

884
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 1: coasts right through as being president, when really he would

885
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: he should say like, no, you would be maybe you know,

886
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: you're on your way there, you'd be you're a senator,

887
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're whatever. Not a single follow up

888
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: question really for for you know, Phenie destroys Corey. But

889
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: to Panga's like, yeah, you'll figure it out. Yeah, and

890
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: he says wow. Well he does say it's ambitious that

891
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: like you, oh, you know, that's that's ambitious of you.

892
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: And she says, well, not many people want the job anymore.

893
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: Now that I've disbanded the military and disbanded and eliminated

894
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, the position is not as seductive. And it's

895
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: funny that this is the episode with Jim Abbott because

896
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I wasn't there when Jim Abbott was there.

897
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't remember the Jim Abbot storyline at all, because

898
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't my storyline but I remember this, this toga

899
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: wearing to Panga speech so vividly because truthfully, it went

900
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: it was so over my head at the time, like

901
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 1: I had no you know, I was twelve. I had

902
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: no adult understanding of politics or none of it. So

903
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: to me, it just felt like a bunch of words

904
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: that someone told me to say, just babble about what

905
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: my my vision was for twenty years from now. And

906
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: yet in in the last decade it has been sent

907
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: to me via social media. It kind of goes viral

908
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: every year when like a new group of people discovers

909
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 1: that Tapanga said this, and it lands and people are like, man,

910
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: this is awesome. And so I have got to relive

911
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: this moment, you know, many times over the last several years,

912
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: and it is something that was just it stuck out

913
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: to me as being so much fun to do, even

914
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: though it really didn't make much sense to me at

915
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: the time. You know what I remember about this, I

916
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 1: remember when you said the line about breeding stock, but

917
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: put on the ground for breeding stock. There was such

918
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: a visceral reaction from the audience, Like the audience loved that.

919
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: It was like a clapping, cheering kind of moment. When

920
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: I says that men are kept underground for breeding. Yeah,

921
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: And I as I was watching the episode, I remember thinking,

922
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: just last night, I'm like, that's the scene where you

923
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 1: were amazing in the first episode in Corpy's Alternative Friends,

924
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: but you weren't yet part of like they didn't know

925
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: what they were going to do with you. And and

926
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: I remember watching last night going if they had a

927
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: moment of I wonder if we should have to pay

928
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: and join the cast that disappeared with this scene in

929
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: my opinion, because it was just it was such such

930
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: a unique character that then you were hitting the jokes.

931
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: It was you were different than anybody else on the show.

932
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: And then to get that reaction from the audience, I

933
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: thought that was the moment where if I'm Michael, are

934
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: one of the producers and I was on the fence,

935
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: I would have been like that, no, she's okay, she's

936
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: got to join us permanently. It just it did. That's

937
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: how it hit me. It was like, it was perfect.

938
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: It's a character. It's a voice of female empowerment to

939
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: write like on a show that has jokes like men

940
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: run run, krunk krun, So it's nice to it's nice

941
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: to offer the alternative and it was a great, great

942
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: balance for the whole show. Yeah, especially again you know,

943
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: opposite Corey, the very stereotypical boy. Um this this Yeah,

944
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: it was. I mean I feel very lucky that I

945
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: got to play the character. Like, especially when I see

946
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: these moments, I think, man, that's so cool. What a

947
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: cool character first for an one to have to get

948
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: to play. And then I'm like, and I got to

949
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: do it about that's yeah, I feel really. I mean,

950
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: when you're talking about sitcom characters, I don't want to

951
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: say like to Pango, but characters that they try to

952
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: make completely different and unique are of the time really annoying.

953
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: Like they try to do something that's so different and

954
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: you're like, wow, that character is just annoying as hell.

955
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: And to Pango was never that. It was It was

956
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: never that kind of like I don't want to Okay,

957
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: can we please cut away from this? This is just

958
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: brutal at this point. It wasn't that at all, which

959
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: is I think kind of not only a testament to you,

960
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,479
Speaker 1: but how she was written, because man, that easily could

961
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: have been the wacky, quirky girl who it's like, yeah,

962
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: that's annoying. Well, you know, A big part of it

963
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: is that she's so confident. You know. We talked about

964
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: this with Mincas a little bit too, But I think

965
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: the character of to Pango being so unfazed by uh

966
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: Corey's criticism of her and everybody else sort of being like,

967
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: you're weird, and she never feels a need to defend it.

968
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: She never feels the need to convince anybody else that

969
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: they should think like her. She just presents and she's confident,

970
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: and she's tough and strong, and it's wonderful. It's it's

971
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: so it's not it's not a quirky character trying to

972
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: change everybody else. It's just a quirky you know. It's

973
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 1: just a different character being different, And it's it's also Danielle,

974
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: And you have to tell me, Danielle, if if you

975
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: did this as an acting choice, if somebody gave you

976
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: this note, or how it came up, but it was

977
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: whether it was an insult, whether it was I'm going

978
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: to marry you in the future. No matter what was

979
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: said to Topanga, she takes a moment and considers it

980
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: every single time, no matter what it is. It's like, well,

981
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: it's because you're weird and she'd like take a moment

982
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: and go like, well am I Like, there's there's always

983
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: that that beat which made it's so unique. That's actually

984
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: it's funny you say that, because that's what I was

985
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: going to say to writer's point about Tapanga, the thing

986
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: I love most about her is that everything is a

987
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: discussion to her. She doesn't actually feel absolutist about anything.

988
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: She feels like, you know, when Corey says, you're not

989
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: going to shave your legs, she goes, I haven't decided. Again,

990
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: everything is She's measured and she thinks about things and

991
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: nothing is right and nothing is wrong. It's all just

992
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: a matter of what will I decide. And it's the

993
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: same thing when in this episode, Minca says he's going

994
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: to marry her, and she says, wow, that's incredibly flattering,

995
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: but I haven't quite decided that I recognize marriage. Everything

996
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: to her is on the table, nothing's off the table.

997
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: And I love that about her. I love that there's

998
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: there is no insulting her because that's just a perspective

999
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: and and that perspective deserves the same amount of weight

1000
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: as this perspective and let's discuss. And I just I

1001
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: find that I'll find that endlessly endearing about her. It

1002
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: adds a layer to you think of the consideration she

1003
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 1: had to go through before deciding all men needed to

1004
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: be put underground for breeding, which which is what I'm

1005
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: going to talk about what happened, And this episode is

1006
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: about history, so she probably looked over history and decided

1007
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: that nuclear weapons men have always been in charge. What

1008
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: do we do. We can't completely get rid of them,

1009
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: we have to, but we can remove them from judgment making. Yeah,

1010
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: I love I just I love it. It's it's very

1011
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: well done. Um So, then Larry does come to the

1012
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: reunion dressed exactly like Mr Feenie, and Mr Feenie calls

1013
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: him over and calls him a poser and uh again

1014
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of Marty York shine. He says he's gonna,

1015
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: you know. Foenie asks him, you know, what's curriculum and

1016
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: he says, I can look it up. He says, what's tenure?

1017
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 1: I can look it up? And yeah, he actually does

1018
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, this was a great This was

1019
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 1: the This was an episode where if if another friend

1020
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 1: was going to stick around, this was the episode where

1021
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: we would have seen it fully work. Corey also did

1022
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: a lot of work on his project. I'd like to

1023
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: point that out that he actually legitimately did a lot

1024
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: of work on his project. Yes, when Corey comes up

1025
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: to the front and he says to Phoenie, Okay, are

1026
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: you ready for me, he's all excited and he says

1027
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: that he's a legendary baseball player and he has a

1028
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: cereal box with his face on it. Um. He also

1029
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: says he dropped out of high school in eleventh grade

1030
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: because he got a six million dollar per year contract.

1031
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: And Phoenie says Corey didn't think his assignment through though,

1032
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: because since it's not finance, it's not as financially stable

1033
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: as he thinks. He gives Corey an incomplete, which is

1034
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: an eye even lower than n F. Like, that's down them,

1035
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: that's a good job. I actually wrote that down was

1036
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 1: like that's a good joke. That's a good joke. Um yeah,

1037
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: I mean I I like, I do think Corey did

1038
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: a lot of work on this h on his presentation.

1039
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: But I also really like and appreciate Phoene's argument here

1040
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: because it is true that money, when given a ton

1041
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: of money, is certainly when you're young. If you don't

1042
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: know we've we've seen it with endless celebrities and famous people.

1043
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: If you don't know how to handle money, if you

1044
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 1: don't know what to do with money, because nobody ever

1045
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,439
Speaker 1: taught you how to use money. And by the way,

1046
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: our school doesn't our school system doesn't focus enough on

1047
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: how like I graduated high school without anybody in school

1048
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: teaching me any of that kind of stuff. You go

1049
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: through all of that, and it's just kind of like,

1050
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: I guess you're just everyone just assumes your parents are

1051
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: going to teach you that. But what if your parents

1052
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: don't know how to do that? I mean, I think

1053
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 1: for the baby boomers, there was like a home economics

1054
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: course that everybody had to take, but for whatever reason,

1055
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: that's just been dropped from the American curriculum. No home

1056
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: economics at the time. Home economics then, and when I

1057
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: took because I took home Mac too. Homec was sewing

1058
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: in cooking. That's what home Mac was. Absolutely we learned

1059
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: how to sew, when we learned how to cook, that

1060
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: was our home economic The idea of like balancing your

1061
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 1: books and well, wait, let's figure out what our budget

1062
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: is for the month, and let's figure out how much

1063
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: we're making as opposed to how much is going out?

1064
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: None of that was ever addressed anywhere in Connecticut. And

1065
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: you guys had a lecture city We did, we did?

1066
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: We did you know a writer? Seriously, if Trin did

1067
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: any come up with the idea for this podcast, we

1068
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: would never have had the opportunity for you to make

1069
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: fun of me for this stuff. Oh my gosh, what

1070
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: we had to learn to sew and cook on the prairie. Right,

1071
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: of course, after butter after we turned bank, we turned

1072
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: a butt her, and then we went to our to

1073
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: to take a bank out. And that's the way it was.

1074
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 1: That's how we did us in Connecticut, sir. Sorry fellow nutmakers, Sorry,

1075
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: fellow nutmakers. So funny. We are back in in Corey's room. Okay, wait,

1076
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm stopping right there. I purposely have not said anything

1077
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: because I was waiting for one of you to bring

1078
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: it up. Is nobody going to mention the twelve year

1079
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: old girl in the classroom who obviously wanted to be

1080
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 1: the show A girl who's in the background dress an

1081
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: entire full pink show girl outfit. I didn't. No one

1082
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: is going to mention this, but me really didn't full

1083
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: Vegas show girls outfit with the head shoe and burlesque

1084
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: it literally and I'm gonna make bank. Dude. I am

1085
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: watching with my wife, and Sue's going, what the hell

1086
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: is that? What the hell? Like? She wants to be

1087
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: a burlesque dancer? What they're in a hot I didn't notice,

1088
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm gonna keep my mouth because

1089
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: I know one of them's gonna bring it up. Somebody's

1090
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: gonna bring it up. They have to bring it up.

1091
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: A full burlesque dancer outfit is in the classroom. Do

1092
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: you think the choice for that was just because they

1093
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: wanted like a bright, pretty I wonder if they just

1094
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: because I believe background actors have to provide their own wardrobe,

1095
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't be surprised if they said, bring Halloween

1096
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: costume or bring a costume that could be a job,

1097
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: and they just sort of, you know, maybe because there's

1098
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: a there's one one extra she's dressed like a doctor,

1099
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: one of them, you know, there's Marty dressed like and

1100
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: then you're you're all milling in the background, including Ben like.

1101
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: This is one of the few scenes where Mr Feeney

1102
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,919
Speaker 1: takes time with other students it's one of the few times,

1103
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: so he takes time. It takes time with Marty, he

1104
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: takes time with Topango, which again it's only like her

1105
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: second or third episode, so it's not like she's a

1106
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: regular on the show yet. And then Corey comes up

1107
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: and in the background, you're all they're kind of milling

1108
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: in this group, and in the group it looks like

1109
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: the village people are behind you. It's it's like there's

1110
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: a cop, there's the burlesque dancer, there's you know, the doctor,

1111
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: and talking about the fact that you have to you

1112
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: can't talk obviously, so we have to sit there and

1113
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:49,479
Speaker 1: be mouthing to each other dialogue. Yeah, but I'm sorry.

1114
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: I just had to bring that up. I can't believe

1115
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: nobody mentioned very funny. I did not notice. I want

1116
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: to go back and watch it again. Now, um that's

1117
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: all you'll see the next thing now that when you

1118
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: watch this, by the way, this funny. By the way, writer,

1119
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: I know that typically background actors have to bring their

1120
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: own wardrobe, but I think when they require them to

1121
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: have something like this, like something kind of over the top,

1122
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: those are provided. Like I doubt that show Girl costume

1123
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: was hers. I bet it was something they just put.

1124
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: They just picked somebody and put went to the follow

1125
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: store and bought ten outfits. Are like work, exactly, throw

1126
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 1: this on twelve year old, we need sexy nurse outfit? Like,

1127
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: come on, it's just weird catwoman in the background. Yeah, exactly,

1128
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: like what do you? What do you want to be?

1129
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: And so we're in Corey's room and Corey takes down

1130
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: his Jim Abbott poster. Eric says his future is a

1131
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: sports car and there's going to be cheerleaders in it,

1132
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: but Corey buzz kills him with his economic facts and

1133
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: calls him a poser. And is this the scene where

1134
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: then Alan walks in and will you felt forgotten? Forgotten, forgotten?

1135
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: It's like he walks in, he like, the only thing

1136
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't do is spit in my face and walk by.

1137
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: Before we get to that, Before we get to that,

1138
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: we talk about Will's pose. Oh, because I think I

1139
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: think this is one of those moments where it's probably

1140
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: after we already did the episode where you threw the

1141
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: bag and made the sound yeah, and that you ended

1142
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: up making a very similar sound. I was like, that's

1143
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: where you know the script he strikes a pose and

1144
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: you added the which probably the joke because otherwise it's

1145
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: just a weird pose, but you like, punctuated with that sound,

1146
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: it's like a great Wilford LL acting rank like, oh,

1147
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: this makes that funny, because otherwise it's like it's okay,

1148
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: but well, it's also in a way making fun of

1149
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: my oldest brother Gary, who was an amateur bodybuilder and

1150
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: would actually go and like in those little speedos beyond stage,

1151
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: making those poses like Arnold Chartzenegger. So yes, uh crazy,

1152
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: I also thought. And then when I watched it again,

1153
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: I saw, I thought, I saw I was wrong, But

1154
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: lying on the bed, the way I was lying on

1155
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: the bed and reading the magazine is exactly the same

1156
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: place and what I'm doing in the opening title credit,

1157
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: So I was like, oh, did we do the same thing?

1158
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: But it's a different shirt, So that I was like, okay.

1159
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: I thought maybe they had pulled it from that or

1160
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: we did it on the same day, but obviously wasn't.

1161
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: But it's like, oh, let's put him on the bed

1162
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: and do that stuff. And then again the Phillies fan,

1163
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: the die hard Phillies fan having a Yankee poster on

1164
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: his wall, not a chance, but but he was. He

1165
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: loved Jim Abbott, not he was just a like my

1166
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: husband actually is very much a He's a die hard

1167
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: Clippers fan NBA. He loves the NBA, but he loves

1168
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: lots of teams because he likes individual players, or he

1169
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: likes the story like I like Tom Brady. I hate

1170
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: to say that, I'm but I'm I was. I was

1171
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan, so I'm a Brady fan. So I

1172
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: get that. But it's uh, it was obviously who And

1173
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm curious. This is what I'd like to know about

1174
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: with the writers. Was this written for Jim Abbott, like

1175
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: when like when they were pitching, the story was like,

1176
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: and we're going to get Jim Abbitt because of everything

1177
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 1: he went through in the perseverance that he had. Or

1178
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: was it like we're going to get a baseball player,

1179
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: let's see who we can get. I bet it was

1180
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: written for Jim Abbot. I think so too. I think

1181
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: so too. I'm hoping. I think they knew he was inspirational, motivational,

1182
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: he was obviously, you know, extremely hot at the time,

1183
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: and he they knew his history, he had, you know, college,

1184
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: and I think it I think it's perfectly worked out.

1185
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of our writers were

1186
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: from New York, right from the New York area, so

1187
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they were Yankees fans. And

1188
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,439
Speaker 1: I think Michael's Michael was a Yankees fan. I think, yeah,

1189
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: I think I have no idea. So Corey is being

1190
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: a big bummer. Alan enters and says, you know, are

1191
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: you guys ready for dinner? And he does, say, hey guys,

1192
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: are you ready for dinner? And Will says no, but

1193
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 1: I'll do anything to get away from this bummer, Captain

1194
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: bummer face or whatever I said, Captain Bummer. And you

1195
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: walk out, and then Alan and Corey have a dream.

1196
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: I have a dream. I don't know what. It's a

1197
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: dream written down there, dream things. We enjoy a dream sequence.

1198
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 1: They're dancing on the movie Upset Down. It was just

1199
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: so weird. I think we should recycling. We should just

1200
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: do an episode work. Danielle just starts recapping like complete nonsense,

1201
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: and we just have to play along like we should do.

1202
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 1: For you just say and now the penguin Watson and

1203
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: starts talking. Just remember about the penguins just trashed the

1204
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: dressing room. You could write a real dreaming problem that

1205
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: Amy's is she was she right? Do you think they

1206
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: wrote it for the giraffe? Or but it's really weird.

1207
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: I'll never get the smell of sardines out of my name.

1208
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: This would be great. It would actually be a great

1209
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: improv podcast where's just people recapping the show that never existed,

1210
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: and we have to go along with it. Pretty We

1211
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: just have to keep telling memories for a show that

1212
01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: never existed. If there's one thing doing this podcast has

1213
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: made me realize is that I want to do so

1214
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: many more podcasts. I want to just keep doing. If

1215
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: you want to start podcast I just you know what,

1216
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: I have too much time on. There's nothing I want

1217
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: to be doing with COVID right now. Let's do more

1218
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 1: of it. We've got one three more hours today. We

1219
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: can do podcasts. Oh my gosh, okay, there, I do

1220
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 1: want to talk about what What is the poster you

1221
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: have above your bed? There is a Pam Anderson esque

1222
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: looking Baywatchee lifeguard poster above Eric's bed, and I thought

1223
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: for sure you would remember who. I couldn't tell if

1224
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: it was family Anderson. Okay, there there is one. We

1225
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 1: paused it to write a note about something, and then

1226
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: I was like, so maybe you know if you don't pause.

1227
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: I happened to pause right on the shot, and I

1228
01:04:58,400 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: was like, what is that? What is that poster? I

1229
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: thought the random poster over the bed, but missed the

1230
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: show girl in bright paints in the center of the scene.

1231
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: I love that the things my listen. If I'm in

1232
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: the scene, you better believe my eyes are only on

1233
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: one thing, even if it's the back of my head.

1234
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: I am looking at him. You can tell you're like,

1235
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: the crimping started an eighth of an inch down, you'll

1236
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: notice exactly. I'm like, if you notice on the right

1237
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: lower half of my head. But there was a bear

1238
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: in scene exactly. Okay. So Corey asks his dad if

1239
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: someone ever told him he couldn't be the manager of

1240
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 1: a supermarket, and Alan says, well, that actually wasn't his dream.

1241
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: But as you get older, your dreams change, and his

1242
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:46,919
Speaker 1: actual dream was that he wanted to build bridges, and

1243
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: he gave that dream up as his dream of a

1244
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: family came true. And Rusty tells Corey that now his

1245
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: new dream is to be the father of a Phillies

1246
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: center fielder. And this moment kind of made me to

1247
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: your up, Wow, not that long ago, Jensen said, he said,

1248
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 1: it's it's just crazy now that I have two kids,

1249
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: how much I think about my like my the things

1250
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: I want for myself are not even self centered anymore.

1251
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 1: They're not even things that I want. They're all about

1252
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: trying to make my kids dreams. Like, whatever those dreams are,

1253
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: I want to help make those come true. And hearing

1254
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: him say that that, like his dream now is to

1255
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: become the father, it just it made me. It made

1256
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: me tear up again. It's one of those things that

1257
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 1: would have, I guarantee you was less than a thought

1258
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: in my head at the time that we were taping

1259
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: the show, but now stands out to me as so

1260
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: important to this episode, um and just overall to the

1261
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: theme of the show. It's it's just yeah, it made

1262
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: me feel emotional. Yeah, well, I mean, I just love

1263
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: that the end of the scene, and this is one

1264
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,959
Speaker 1: of the first times that this has happened in this show,

1265
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: because you know, usually the end of a scene leaves

1266
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: Corey and conflict right at the point of the scene

1267
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: is like, now, what is core are you going to do?

1268
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: And the end of this scene is Rusty and conflict.

1269
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: When Rusty hearing what Ben said and considering it and

1270
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: he we know that he's going to have to take

1271
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: the action, and that is like a shift in perspective

1272
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: for the show that I thought was really effective and nice.

1273
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, I'm suddenly really curious what is

1274
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: how does you know Alan Matthews feel about this and

1275
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: what is he going to do about it? And that

1276
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: was cool. I mean it goes back to what we

1277
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: talked about when the This is really the third episode

1278
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: now where there's been a conflict between Phoenie and Matthews,

1279
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 1: which is and that's great. Yeah, it's super I love it.

1280
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: It's a very fruitful territory to to get, you know,

1281
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 1: theme and character out of. It's wonderful. It also but

1282
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: it also shows the benefits and the necessity of a

1283
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: fully well rounded education and that doesn't necessarily just mean

1284
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the teacher in your school. It also doesn't just mean

1285
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: your parents. It means you you're taught from a number

1286
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 1: of different sources. And there that's we love that. Where

1287
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: it's it is it's Alan kind of going like I

1288
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: think he even said, I don't care what Phenie says,

1289
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want, where he's like just

1290
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,439
Speaker 1: gonna openly contradict like no, no, no, he does. He's

1291
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: he's not you know, he's your teacher. He's not omniscient.

1292
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, he's not right in this situation. Um,

1293
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: And these these are some of my favorite scenes, I think,

1294
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: the Alan and Corey scenes. And these are scenes I

1295
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: didn't remember as much as I remembered the Corey Phoene scenes.

1296
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: So when I see these Alan Corey scenes, these are

1297
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: incredible scenes between the two of them. They're great, and

1298
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: there are there are a lot of them. I mean

1299
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 1: there are more than I remember too, and they're awesome. Yeah. Yeah, Well,

1300
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: Corey ends the scene on a bit of a bummer note.

1301
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: He says, Dad, it's time to forget about my baseball dreams.

1302
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 1: You have to wake up and face the facts. And

1303
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: he walks out, and like writer said, we then see

1304
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: Alan in conflict what is he going to do? And

1305
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: then we are downstairs in the living room. Now, I'd

1306
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: like to go back to the beginning of the episode

1307
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: to discuss just really briefly. I knew Stephanie, the friend

1308
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 1: who was having the birthday party, that she was having

1309
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 1: a real boy orring birthday party based on what Lily

1310
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: was wearing to the birthday party. She was in that like,

1311
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: I guess she could have been having a fancy tea

1312
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 1: party like that. Maybe that was for the party, but

1313
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: the way she was dressed, I was like, what five

1314
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: year old kid is having a party where people want

1315
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: to wear tights and fancy shoes and a big puffy

1316
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 1: dress and the gold necklace. And then it all made

1317
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:24,520
Speaker 1: sense when the front door opened and here is Stephanie

1318
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: and her mom Jane, and they are dressed. Look what

1319
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 1: is this. This is like the middle of the day

1320
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: and they are so fancy pants. Yeah, they're also so

1321
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 1: here's the here's the problem I had with this. This

1322
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: is now the second time a an adult female character

1323
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: has shown up on the show, and they're awful. Was

1324
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 1: the mensa, Yeah, they're terrible people. Yes, Well, I think

1325
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,040
Speaker 1: the point is going back to what we talked to

1326
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: vote a MENSA episode, positioning the Matthews as working class,

1327
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, as sort of more real and against the

1328
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: snobbery of you know, the rich elitists, coastal elitists. Call

1329
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: it what you want, but I think it was you know,

1330
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 1: it's always important for television shows too, for the family

1331
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 1: on a television show to be um identifiable, you know,

1332
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: And I think a kind of easy way to make

1333
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: a family identifiable is to bring in the alternative, right,

1334
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: like bring in somebody who's patently awful, a terrible family.

1335
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, showing somebody who's rich and

1336
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 1: snobby is just a really easy way to do it.

1337
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: You know, this this didn't It never felt real, right,

1338
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 1: Like it didn't feel like the person could ever exist.

1339
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's for me, the problem with the

1340
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 1: scene not you know, I think there there there might

1341
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: have been a way to make it a little more subtle,

1342
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: a little more because the once they walk in, you

1343
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. We're just gonna play out this joke. Um,

1344
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, I had the same thought. I was like

1345
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: with the Mensa act, I kind of got it because

1346
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: it's like the snobbery comes from this, Like but this

1347
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: is like a family that they're friends with, where these

1348
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: people have so much money, and you know that she

1349
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: makes a reference to I don't have to work and yeah,

1350
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 1: practically has an English accent exactly. It's not going to

1351
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 1: get back the necklace when you've got I mean, it's like, oh,

1352
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: it was so cartoony and ridiculous, and it was like, oh,

1353
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:23,719
Speaker 1: so every time they're going to bring on an actress

1354
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 1: who's over the age of twelve, they're going to make

1355
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: her awful. Like it was like, you know, I think

1356
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: it's it's yeah, I think it's all about just showing

1357
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: how cool Amy is. You know. It was just like

1358
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: making Amy and the Matthew is a cool family that

1359
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: you identify with. Was this whole scene to me though,

1360
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: was just so sitcomy, cartoony, over the top, terrible kind

1361
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 1: of it was a bad scene. So Jane, the mom says,

1362
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, listen, I can't give you back the necklace,

1363
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: not because of the value of the necklace, but because

1364
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 1: of Stephanie's attachment to it. And um, you can tell

1365
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: that Amy has some sort of plan because she is

1366
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: very relaxed about it. She's like, I wouldn't even think

1367
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 1: twice about asking, don't worry about it. And then we

1368
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:11,480
Speaker 1: are back in the kitchen and Morgan has made brownies

1369
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: and she's showing her all of these different different things

1370
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 1: and exactly the setting setting setting up hits, these beats

1371
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: and that kind of like hold your horses like all

1372
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Was great, exactly, And this is

1373
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: this is a very tough scene to direct. I mean,

1374
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 1: two very young actors talking to each other with no adults,

1375
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, sort of anchoring the scene. So I can

1376
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: imagine this was like something that everybody's off stage holding

1377
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:49,560
Speaker 1: their breath, like come on business and business. Yeah. Yeah,

1378
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: realized like this is a nightmare scene for a production.

1379
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: There is a continuity problem in this one. I always

1380
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 1: my brains notices that the brownies Brownie I noticed appear

1381
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: and then go back to the other place. You think

1382
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: they're like right in front of her, and then she

1383
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:04,600
Speaker 1: moved him over. It did they did jump. I was like,

1384
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: oh cotton anything, but it was. It was so good

1385
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: and they both held her own and so we go

1386
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: back out to the living room and Stephanie. That's where

1387
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: Stephanie is saying she doesn't have to work. And then

1388
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: Morgan and Stephanie come out from the kitchen and Stephanie

1389
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: has removed her dress. She's just got like a tank

1390
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: top on and she has plastic just got a plastic

1391
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:31,680
Speaker 1: tiara on her blossom hat has been stolen, and um,

1392
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 1: we realized that Morgan has done Yeah, it's such a blossom.

1393
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: So she she reveals her ruse that she has done

1394
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 1: black Black note trades back for and gotten all the

1395
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: things that she wanted, including the keys to the car,

1396
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: and we get Betsy getting the cute little button on

1397
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 1: the end, which is, can you understand it's not the

1398
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 1: value of the car, it's Morgan's attachment to it, followed

1399
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: with the awesomely natural thumbs up they both give each

1400
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 1: other okay, And then so later we see Eric on

1401
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: the phone and you're having a conversation about a girl

1402
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: and you were you were an innocent bystander and a

1403
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 1: girl had you pinned up against the lockers and you

1404
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: were kissing. And then, by the way, your clothes fit

1405
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: perfectly here Will Did you notice that as well? Yeah,

1406
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: you weren't wearing Yeah you you were wearing a well

1407
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 1: structured outfit. Yeah I saw that as well. Are you joking?

1408
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:35,639
Speaker 1: I'm serious? Sweaters? Nothing actually said something at this point,

1409
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,680
Speaker 1: or they just started No. No, I would never say

1410
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 1: anything about clothes. I don't know anything about clothes. But

1411
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 1: there was one side where it just looks like I

1412
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,679
Speaker 1: look like a melted candle, where it's just like I've

1413
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: just melted into the couch and it's just kind of

1414
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 1: this weird rump like I was waiting to just go,

1415
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 1: like I'm not giving on solo back. I caught him

1416
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: fair and square. Um yeah, so it's um, it was exactly,

1417
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: but it was. Uh. The thing that struck me was

1418
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: these are always my lines or something along the line.

1419
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: You were it was always going to be something about

1420
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 1: girls or something about kissing when all else fails, something

1421
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 1: about a girl. And so here's what, I here's what. Then,

1422
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 1: So then Corey runs in and he grabs the phone

1423
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:22,759
Speaker 1: from you and hangs up and and he just closes

1424
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: the antenna, and I was like the whole rest of

1425
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: his seat. I have a question. He says, call her back,

1426
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: and then Eric says, are you kidding? I don't even

1427
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 1: know who that was? Yeah, I don't a joke. That

1428
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 1: sounds like a joke, but I don't get exactly it

1429
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:46,680
Speaker 1: structured like a joke. Is it that you were actually

1430
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: talking to a boyfriend of a girl who caught you

1431
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: kissing his girlfriend? Like, no, no, no, no, I thought

1432
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 1: I was talking to another girl. He was defending himself.

1433
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: It was like there were so many girls after Eric

1434
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: that he doesn't even know which one he was defending

1435
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 1: himself to when you've got that, I thought it was

1436
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: a significant other of the girl and you were like

1437
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 1: you were like called you and was upset you were

1438
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: kissing my girl or something. No, Okay, I don't think

1439
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:18,600
Speaker 1: it was that. It could have been. I don't think it.

1440
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,680
Speaker 1: I think again. I think it was words coming out

1441
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: of my mouth shaped face, and that's all that it was.

1442
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 1: It was just girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl.

1443
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 1: What Jim Abbott? Yeah, So Corey announces that Yankee pitcher

1444
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: Jim Abbott is in the kitchen. Eric and Cory are

1445
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: shocked and they literally scream when he comes in. Jim

1446
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: Abbott gets the room McClanahan treatment, he walks in, audience

1447
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 1: goes wild, and he then sits down on the couch

1448
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: and tells Corey a story about how a coach once

1449
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: told him he wouldn't make it in the major leagues,

1450
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 1: but look at him now, and that coach also told

1451
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 1: him how important education was and got him to apply

1452
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,520
Speaker 1: to the University of Michigan. Has a lot of dialogue,

1453
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: a lot of dialogue, a lot of dialogue, and it's

1454
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: also confident and comfortable and relax He's yeah, great, he's

1455
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 1: great for not being and apparently not knowing that he's

1456
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 1: gonna be on. I mean, it's like, my good, he

1457
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:17,639
Speaker 1: nailed it. By the way, it is a very boy

1458
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: meets world thing to never even address the fact that

1459
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 1: he only has one hand. I think that that's genius.

1460
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 1: And I think that that's something so important to acknowledge

1461
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 1: and rec That's like a big note for me because

1462
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 1: I kept waiting for it to happen. I kept waiting

1463
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 1: even after the scene. I mean, maybe not to acknowledge

1464
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: it while he's there, but I thought for sure in

1465
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 1: the tag or in the backyard with Phoene the next scene,

1466
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,720
Speaker 1: that there would be some reference to Corey saying and

1467
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: he you know, he only has one hand and I

1468
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 1: can do it, and and I was so impressed that

1469
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: it never was mentioned. I thought that was I feel

1470
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: like it would a lesser show would have made me

1471
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: would have heard that on the head right, And instead

1472
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 1: it was like, no, we're not even gonna need to

1473
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: reference it now, because that's not the point. Yeah, yeah,

1474
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: I think it's I think that's really really super smart.

1475
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: And there are other times in the show where we

1476
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 1: either mentioned or don't mention something that maybe should have

1477
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: been mentioned, and we'll talk about those when they come up.

1478
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: But this is one of those times where I think

1479
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 1: it was really done very well that it wasn't even mentioned.

1480
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 1: Um And so he mentioned that he had a coach

1481
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: who also told him about how important education was. And

1482
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 1: he says that you, Corey have a dad who wants

1483
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: his kid to have big dreams. And he can tell

1484
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 1: that because he was sent sixty three telegrams by Alan

1485
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: Matthews Trams sending telegrams. Seriously, stop, I need to stop.

1486
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 1: You need to make sure that he knows what's going

1487
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:44,479
Speaker 1: on immediately. Stop. You need to make sure he can

1488
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 1: It's like, what the hell you don't know what a

1489
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 1: telegram is? I mean I kind of do, but not really,

1490
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: Like what's the what is the actuality of sending a telegram? Like?

1491
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 1: What would the process have been to send a telegram?

1492
01:18:54,920 --> 01:19:00,720
Speaker 1: You would call an operator and they would transcribe a

1493
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: message for you and send it via code. Right, I

1494
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: mean again, it depends on what you're talking. The old

1495
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 1: school telegram, you literally would go to a Western Union

1496
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: and they would when you would write it down. You

1497
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 1: would write it down and they would did you either

1498
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:17,640
Speaker 1: write it down or tell it to somebody and they

1499
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 1: would transmit it via Morse code, and there was a

1500
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: little punch telephone, so they would say stop after every

1501
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 1: That's how you would know what it was. So it

1502
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: would be yeah, you know, Jim Abbott, I'm trying to

1503
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 1: find you. Stop. I'd like you to come to Obviously

1504
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: you used these in Connecticut. No, we didn't have this technology.

1505
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 1: We did not have this at all. We were still

1506
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 1: smoke sings exactly exactly. Well that's the way, of course. Yeah,

1507
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: the messenger pigeons were really greatly planning to tend to

1508
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 1: dinner bow for everybody in the town. We got to

1509
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 1: come in here. Everybody is that Yes, uh no, we

1510
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: didn't have to. We didn't have this technology in But

1511
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: like realistically, so Alan, who doesn't know Jim Abbott, you're

1512
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: telling me that in nine three I could have picked

1513
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 1: up a phone, somehow gotten an operator on the phone,

1514
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: and then said send this message to this stranger. How

1515
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 1: does that operate? Or know how to get in touch

1516
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: with how it works. I think it would have been

1517
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: like he would have sent it to the Yankees. I

1518
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:25,679
Speaker 1: mean it's like, I don't know how that would have happened,

1519
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:29,520
Speaker 1: because it would have been explained the internet to me exactly,

1520
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: we're not we don't start with me. I'm the rider dying. Well,

1521
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: my friend, I believe it functioned kind of like it

1522
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: was like a facts. It was a pre dates the

1523
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 1: facts in the sense that it was a way to

1524
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:51,920
Speaker 1: get a written message immediately anywhere in the world, and

1525
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: it was still being used for like banking, and uh,

1526
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 1: I know that in theater this is the only real reference.

1527
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 1: There is a tradition of sending a telegram on your

1528
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: opening night. You would get a telegram delivered to your

1529
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 1: dressing room door, and it was a tradition that people

1530
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: would send telegrams on opening night. You would get one

1531
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: that would say, you know, grats on opening night, and

1532
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 1: then it would say mayored was like this, which means

1533
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 1: crap in French. But it became that was the tradition

1534
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,480
Speaker 1: for like you said that when you got a telegram

1535
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: on opening night, I don't know that that was my

1536
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: experience with telegrams. That the original I mean all of

1537
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: the original phone quote unquote phone lines that criss crossed

1538
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:37,599
Speaker 1: the country. Those were telegraph lines because there obviously wasn't

1539
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 1: a phone at the time, so it was all Morris

1540
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: code that would go from one side to the other,

1541
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 1: and it was all those old Tommy d d D

1542
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: D D D d D that that's a telegram. Why

1543
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:48,599
Speaker 1: he's sending one in ninety three, let alone sixty three

1544
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: of them to a stranger who then shows up at

1545
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 1: his home included the Matthews address. So Rusty makes the joke.

1546
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 1: Alan makes the joke, what you only got sixty three them?

1547
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: So he sent significantly more. And then all the kids

1548
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood show up to get their baseball signed

1549
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: and Macus brings the wrong ball. Dusty is in this group.

1550
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: Dusty are our background actor that we have tried. We're

1551
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: still searching for Dusty. This is a great time to

1552
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 1: remind you. If you are one of our background actors,

1553
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 1: please please get in touch with us. We want to

1554
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 1: talk to you. You can email us at pod Meats

1555
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 1: World Show at gmail dot com. Um So, we are

1556
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: in Corey's backyard. He's playing baseball while he's actually just

1557
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: throwing the ball up and catching it. And it's a

1558
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 1: life throw for how long it lasts in the end

1559
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 1: to throw up there for and he throws it a

1560
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 1: mile and a half somehow in front of him, but

1561
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: it comes to them behind him. Well, I think it

1562
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 1: bounces off. I think he's bouncing it off the house.

1563
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:47,600
Speaker 1: Is that what he's doing? I think? So, I don't know.

1564
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:50,680
Speaker 1: That's my husband's an only child, and that's like what

1565
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:53,759
Speaker 1: he's spent at least eight percent of his life doing

1566
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: is throwing a ball against a wall and having it

1567
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 1: come back to him. So when I watched by himself

1568
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 1: just through, that's that's literally all he did. So I

1569
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 1: that's what immediately, I what I thought he was doing. Um,

1570
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 1: the ball gets lost over Phoenie's fence. Phenie picks it up,

1571
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: throws it in the trash again. So mean, so unnecessary.

1572
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: He says, when you start respecting my property line, I'll

1573
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:22,679
Speaker 1: start respecting your property I know. And he can't stand

1574
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: these people. Uh. Corey announces to Phoenie that he has

1575
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 1: decided to be a baseball player after all because a

1576
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:30,639
Speaker 1: friend of his dad's. He doesn't want to drop any names,

1577
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:33,400
Speaker 1: but it's Jim Abbot gave him some advice. So now

1578
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 1: he is going to play baseball, but only after he

1579
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 1: goes to college. And Phoenie then rewards Corey for thinking

1580
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 1: about the assignment more and he gives him all of

1581
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: his confiscated balls back by dumping them over the property line. Yes,

1582
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,800
Speaker 1: and you're right writer that there would have been a

1583
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 1: million opportunities for Corey to have mentioned, you know, and

1584
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: you know that he only has one hand, and they

1585
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,639
Speaker 1: just never mentioned it. It was a really smart decision. Um,

1586
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: And so then yeah, I love it. So then we're

1587
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: into the tag. We're in the living room. Amy and

1588
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: Alan are watching TV. It seems like maybe they're watching whatever.

1589
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 1: That version of the Bachelor or The Bachelorette was some

1590
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,520
Speaker 1: sort of dating show game and that's where those voiceovers

1591
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:16,679
Speaker 1: came in that you can kind of hear Chris Kayer,

1592
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: you can kind of hear some of the people kind

1593
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:21,639
Speaker 1: of in the background a little bit. Yeah, And Alan

1594
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 1: asks if it ever bothered Amy that he didn't become

1595
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 1: an engineer like he dreamt of, And he says, do

1596
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: you think of me as a failure? And she says

1597
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 1: he has a great job, respect, three beautiful children, and

1598
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 1: a wife who's ready to make out. And they start

1599
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 1: kissing on the couch. Corey is videotaping them from behind

1600
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 1: the couch. He jumps up so creepy, I know, So creepy,

1601
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 1: so creepy, he asks them to do something interesting because

1602
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:47,919
Speaker 1: this kissing stuff isn't going to hold the audience's attention,

1603
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: and it quickly becomes a chase scene as Rusty Alan

1604
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:56,639
Speaker 1: runs him off to bed, and I was contradictory moment though.

1605
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 1: He's like, do something more than this kissing stuff. And

1606
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 1: then he's like, but give me some action, like a

1607
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:05,639
Speaker 1: second player. What do you want the kissing you don't eat,

1608
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come up and videotape. My parents would say

1609
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 1: this isn't enough. Let me see some action. It was like,

1610
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: it was just wow, Yeah, that was I found that

1611
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 1: really weird. I probably would have spent more time thinking

1612
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: about that if I wasn't so distracted by the awesome

1613
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:29,599
Speaker 1: crop top Rusty was wearing he had when he goes

1614
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: running up the stairs. You can see his entire lower back.

1615
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: He's wearing like a cut off um henley, like a waffle,

1616
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 1: like a waffle henley that was cut and it's kind

1617
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 1: of crop toppy, And again, just one of those choices

1618
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 1: they made that were they're just the cool parents, you know.

1619
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 1: But they also had to take the time to digitize

1620
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:53,600
Speaker 1: out Rusty's lower back tattoo. You know a lot of

1621
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: people don't know that about him. Is he has one

1622
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: of those lower back right you like there was anything

1623
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 1: digital yet, digitize optically, erase exactly. So it's a lot

1624
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 1: of people don't know that about Rusty. Yeah, he's got

1625
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: a he's got a fairy tattoo on his lower back.

1626
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 1: Really cute. Um. So, we got a letter in our

1627
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,679
Speaker 1: email box about this episode, and I wanted to close

1628
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 1: out by reading you this letter. It is from telegram.

1629
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 1: It was a telegram. It was it's Morse code. So

1630
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 1: give me a few minutes to figure it out. And

1631
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 1: he says, Hi, thank you so much for doing this podcast.

1632
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 1: I just wanted to let you know that as a

1633
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 1: ten year old boy, the Jim Abbott episode sealed the

1634
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: sealed the deal for this being my favorite show ever.

1635
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 1: I was born with amniotic band syndrome, which for me

1636
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 1: means that only two of my fingers are fully grown

1637
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: and the rest only grew to one or two joints.

1638
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:48,600
Speaker 1: When I wanted to play Little League baseball as a

1639
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:50,639
Speaker 1: kid in the early nineties, I had to figure out

1640
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:53,240
Speaker 1: how to throw and catch with the same hand because

1641
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 1: only one of my hands is capable of closing a

1642
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: baseball glove and also throwing a baseball. Jim Abbott had

1643
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 1: pioneered this technique of throwing and catching with the same hand,

1644
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: and I copied it so that I could play baseball.

1645
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 1: Needless to say, Jim Abbott was my hero and favorite

1646
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 1: baseball player, and I even met him once when he

1647
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 1: was doing a motivational tour of some kind in the nineties.

1648
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 1: Boy Meat's World was already my favorite show in the

1649
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 1: fall of because like Corey, I was constantly anxious about

1650
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 1: whether I was cool or not, and like Corey, I

1651
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,280
Speaker 1: have very curly hair, which did not lend itself to

1652
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 1: the cuts that most of my friends had. Then Jim Abbott,

1653
01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:32,080
Speaker 1: my hero, showed up, and I remember screaming to my

1654
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 1: family Jim Abbott is on Boy Meat's World and watching

1655
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the episode in complete shock and admiration.

1656
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: It's like our entire show was made for him. That

1657
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 1: I was a super fan from then on. I'm sure.

1658
