Speaker 2: nine two A. OMG, you guys, and OMG, I just
Speaker 2: want to let you know. It's eight am here in California.

Speaker 2: Amy sugar Bean not a morning person. Everybody we know.
Speaker 1: Too, It's like the middle of the night.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to make you it up so early, but
Speaker 2: I got things to do. Amy. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Toys sick. But she'll be back so soon.
Speaker 2: I hope. So geez, because this was a big episode
Speaker 2: to miss. I mean, this is this episode this week
Speaker 2: is is uh well, there's no other real way to
Speaker 2: say it, real stinker, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 3: I'm so hoping you didn't like it because I love
Speaker 3: every episode and I.
Speaker 1: Hate this. Oh thank god, it's just dumb.
Speaker 2: I happened to I happen to know. I can speak
Speaker 2: on behalf of Toy that she too would hate this episode.
Speaker 3: So question number one, do you remember filming shooting it?
Speaker 3: Because it's so different, do you have any memory of it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Man, I was stone old time. I was tripped out
Speaker 2: on LSD and you guys, wait, wait, wait, I just
Speaker 2: want everybody to know we're talking about season four, episode
Speaker 2: twenty five, The time has come today, have a say
Speaker 2: episode March twenty third, nineteen ninety four. UM, give you
Speaker 2: a quick synopsis here, Brenda refuses to go to the
Speaker 2: to the Brenda refuses to go to the snow with
Speaker 2: the group. Brandon gets agitated, but Brenda becomes fascinated by
Speaker 2: a diary that takes her on some gurovy flashback to
Speaker 2: the sixties. Directed by Jason Priestley and mc gallanson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, stop it, sorry, Jason directed this.
Speaker 2: Right to burst your Jason bubble.
Speaker 3: But but okay, so that does sort of ring true
Speaker 3: because the other one he directed had sort of a
Speaker 3: funky tone to it too.
Speaker 2: Oh right with the with the guys. Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: It's like, so this had that same tone.
Speaker 3: So that sort of makes sense now that you're saying this.
Speaker 2: This had no tone. I'm sorry, this is so bad.
Speaker 2: I apologize on behalf of the Institution of Beverly Hills
Speaker 2: on a too for this episode.
Speaker 3: Literally, what I thought was like, you know how we're
Speaker 3: in a writer's strike right now, that there was like
Speaker 3: a writer strike and they had to bring in random
Speaker 3: writers who didn't know the characters and just were like, oh, okay,
Speaker 3: we got to write something.
Speaker 2: Well, it says here it was written by Mick Gallanson
Speaker 2: and Charles Rosen. So usually the EP on the show
Speaker 2: doesn't put his name on something unless he had to
Speaker 2: come in and fix it, I would think, or unless
Speaker 2: this was his brainchild.
Speaker 1: So I like Charles Rosen, but this is a terrible
Speaker 1: I love.
Speaker 2: Charles Rosen, but yeah.
Speaker 1: It just was you know what.
Speaker 3: It's My problem was, I don't even know how we're
Speaker 3: gonna recap it today because who cares. I don't care
Speaker 3: about any of these random people played by you guys.
Speaker 3: Like it was so like, what are we gonna go
Speaker 3: scene by scene right now talking about.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that's exactly what we're gonna do, because this
Speaker 2: is called went to it og.
Speaker 1: I need plenty of thoughts, I think.
Speaker 2: Okay, so could it have been a WEE could go
Speaker 2: on the the we call Chuck and ask him, like,
Speaker 2: what the heck happened with this? It feels like because
Speaker 2: Chuck was a little bit older than us, you know,
Speaker 2: and maybe this was some some stuff that went down
Speaker 2: in his sixties experience in his real life. Maybe I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe give me okay, And I'm sorry to like rewrite
Speaker 3: the episode, but like I think maybe I would have
Speaker 3: I would have cared more if it were one of
Speaker 3: your relatives that we were digging into, Like if you
Speaker 3: found the diary and it was your grandma.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Because my problem was I don't care about the random
Speaker 3: people that lived at the Walsh's house before they lived there.
Speaker 2: And can you believe the coincidence of it all? Keny
Speaker 2: Kenya disbelieve that parallels the parallels the sister and the
Speaker 2: brother living there in those bedrooms, and then what are
Speaker 2: the chances that the brother.
Speaker 1: Will works at the beach bit?
Speaker 2: I mean, this is just too good first.
Speaker 1: Of all, and the peachment just had different shutters, so weird, and.
Speaker 2: Nat was Italian, like straight yeah from the country.
Speaker 1: Played by Nat.
Speaker 3: And then they're like, which one of these people is
Speaker 3: uh Joey or Bobby or whatever the guy's name was,
Speaker 3: and then you see a total rando picture.
Speaker 1: I just I hated it so much.
Speaker 2: Let's just I don't I don't know any other way
Speaker 2: to do this amy either them, just you and I
Speaker 2: shoot the ship for an hour or we go episode,
Speaker 2: I mean, scene by scene I.
Speaker 1: Have some things that we can annly. Okay, okay, so bad. Well,
Speaker 1: I would like to start about a highday.
Speaker 2: Oh I know. It opens basically on Steve and David
Speaker 2: right at the juke box baby and the peach fit,
Speaker 2: and this is them normal, This is them as Steve
Speaker 2: and David.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank goodness.
Speaker 2: You know what saves it every time? Is that smile
Speaker 2: as Steve Sanders.
Speaker 1: What Oh heck, Jenny, here's a problem with us. We
Speaker 1: share one brain, are you like?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, his smile.
Speaker 4: Get that literally, Iron Zeering has the cutest, sweetest, most charming,
Speaker 4: warm smile that that, to me was the best part
Speaker 4: of the entire Yeah.
Speaker 2: It was, It really really was. There's just that little
Speaker 2: glimmer of devil behind it that makes it even better
Speaker 2: because you know, he's just yes, capable of terrible things.
Speaker 3: But that's that's like I'm gonna We're gonna have to
Speaker 3: ask him one day like is that just his regular
Speaker 3: smile that's so charming or like did he perfect that
Speaker 3: smile for this character?
Speaker 2: Like, oh God, ask him. I have a feeling I've
Speaker 2: seen that smile all my life, so I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: that's an eye and searing specialty.
Speaker 1: So the whole premise is so dumb.
Speaker 2: Going skiing again.
Speaker 1: Brenda just got out of the slammer and she's like.
Speaker 2: He went, Well, she doesn't want to go, but maybe
Speaker 2: she's bummed out because she was in jail and she's like,
Speaker 2: oh man, what am I doing with my life? I
Speaker 2: get that, Like she doesn't want to go just like skiing,
Speaker 2: and she's not feeling it. I mean, I think it.
Speaker 1: Would have been she loves Dylan.
Speaker 2: That was basically the only Like, is that why this
Speaker 2: whole storyline happened? Is this why this whole episode occurred,
Speaker 2: was to get that little golden nugget of information? Uh?
Speaker 1: Did she have mascaret tears? Like? Was she kind of
Speaker 1: Lauren conrading it in that bed with the crying with
Speaker 1: the mascarart and I just were tears. It's like so weird.
Speaker 2: Those were tears.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: So they're going, they're going skiing. The group is going sane.
Speaker 1: Brandon's got a ski. He's all waxed up.
Speaker 2: He's waxed and psyched. I mean, not to quote him
Speaker 2: or anything, but to quote him, the skis are waxed.
Speaker 2: I'm psyched, Okay.
Speaker 3: I wish someone would go in and yank out all
Speaker 3: the dumb sixty eight stuff and just give me the
Speaker 3: scenes with the people I know, and just make it
Speaker 3: a fifteen minute you're talking.
Speaker 2: About you knew all of these people.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't like them, although I did like Brenda's
Speaker 3: denim on dena Did you see that? No, she was
Speaker 3: wearing like denhim shirt and denim jeans that looked very
Speaker 3: like current.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, as a sixties girl.
Speaker 1: Nope, this was still Brenda in the nineties.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well that's because they all come back
Speaker 2: around that.
Speaker 3: It was March when this aired, the end after sweeps,
Speaker 3: and I think they ran out of money and just
Speaker 3: had to like make this episode.
Speaker 2: You know what, they ran out of shits. They just
Speaker 2: ran out of shit, Like they just gave no shits anymore.
Speaker 1: I what about giggles and any just org none of
Speaker 1: that was either.
Speaker 2: I think everybody, although everybody got to go on vacation
Speaker 2: except the people like the one camera man and maybe
Speaker 2: the sound man because I saw his boom in the
Speaker 2: show a few times, and maybe think about hair and
Speaker 2: makeup person because of the wigs they had to be there. Okay,
Speaker 2: go ahead, do you want to talk about. Which wig
Speaker 2: do you want to talk about first?
Speaker 1: Well, first I want to talk about that Jason Priestley
Speaker 1: And like, this always makes me sort of cringy to say,
Speaker 1: what I had is it suddenly has a much hairrier
Speaker 1: chest than ever.
Speaker 2: Wait, when did you notice it?
Speaker 1: It was popping up out of the button down in
Speaker 1: what scene? Very early on? Where did that come from? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a very chest. I love it.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's never noticed it before.
Speaker 3: I didn't notice it when he was like, didn't we
Speaker 3: have a shower scene with him just like two weeks ago?
Speaker 2: Well, maybe it just sprouted out. Maybe it just he
Speaker 2: hit that point in puberty when the chest hair sprang
Speaker 2: right out.
Speaker 1: Or maybe he shaved it for.
Speaker 2: The shower scene. Maybe yeah, yeah, he waxed that instead
Speaker 2: of his skis.
Speaker 1: And he's so mad.
Speaker 2: He's so mad at Brenda for not going on the
Speaker 2: trip or for just being Brenda. He's just mad at her.
Speaker 2: Everybody's mad at Brenda these days. Kelly's pissed it her
Speaker 2: last week, Brandon's a dick to her this week, Like,
Speaker 2: I feel like something's about to happen and it's making
Speaker 2: me very uncomfortable. Just make it happen and get it
Speaker 2: rip the band aid off because this whole waiting for
Speaker 2: Brenda's character to depart is killing me.
Speaker 1: It's a little rough.
Speaker 3: And so I also was wondering did they do this
Speaker 3: because it's very shn incentric episode.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like.
Speaker 3: We knew there was trouble in Paradise, but then they
Speaker 3: give her this episode and she's actually fine in it.
Speaker 1: She's fine. It's just so dumb. I don't care.
Speaker 2: I mean, she's fine in it. You're right. It really
Speaker 2: did not seem as if she cared that much to
Speaker 2: like give it her gusto, give it her all. But
Speaker 2: who would care exactly? Who really would care?
Speaker 1: So here's one note I did have.
Speaker 3: If this was today, this episode would be completely different
Speaker 3: because my actual thought was, all these people need to
Speaker 3: deal with Brenda's mental health, like she.
Speaker 2: I know, when Brandon says to her, I'm getting really
Speaker 2: sick of this or whatever he says, she's like, so
Speaker 2: am I regarding her like an unwellness?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: I was like, oh no, we needed some action needs
Speaker 2: to be taken to help her.
Speaker 3: I wrote, I think she's depressed, which makes sense after
Speaker 3: this traumatic experience she's had. Both with Dylan, Dylan her
Speaker 3: best friend, and jail and everyone's just mad at her.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, she doesn't make it easy to love her, like
Speaker 2: you know, you know that she doesn't make it easy
Speaker 2: to help her or want to be there for her
Speaker 2: because she wants to be alone and doing it on
Speaker 2: her safe.
Speaker 1: Yeah right right. I just want to go to the
Speaker 1: swap meet.
Speaker 2: Who wouldn't. I mean, have you gone? Jim and Cindy
Speaker 2: were going to the Pasadena swap Meet. That's a good one,
Speaker 2: you guys.
Speaker 3: All day, by the way, because they left in the
Speaker 3: morning and they came home and it was pitch dark.
Speaker 2: Oh who can do that? Maybe they went to have
Speaker 2: some dinner after or maybe a movie or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I love that. Thy name the Rose Bull
Speaker 1: swap Meet a shout out that's actually like the very
Speaker 1: legit swap me.
Speaker 2: It still goes on every every month. It's the best
Speaker 2: one to go to.
Speaker 1: A bike ride and take a bath. I didn't ever
Speaker 1: know her to ride a bike, but.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, never seen her take a bath either. I
Speaker 2: always thought she was more of a jogger. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but take a bath, that's okay.
Speaker 1: The way she finds health.
Speaker 2: That's true. We should. The way she finds the diary,
Speaker 2: I know, don't get me started.
Speaker 1: Why would she do that?
Speaker 2: Well, you would, it's you can tell right away. When
Speaker 2: she sits on the bench, which she sat on a
Speaker 2: million times, but this time she sits on the bench,
Speaker 2: it's uncomfortable and some there's a bump under my butt, Like, okay,
Speaker 2: was it?
Speaker 1: I never noticed that bench in my life, by the way,
Speaker 1: Like I sat on.
Speaker 2: That many times, and I never felt a bump from
Speaker 2: a warp board.
Speaker 1: And she's crying it out, like she's.
Speaker 2: Like grunting a little trying to get that out. But
Speaker 2: magically the whole board just lifts out, and there she
Speaker 2: sees the dusty diary.
Speaker 1: Well first the orange bandana and the peace necklace.
Speaker 3: To establish to everyone watching, I think we're going.
Speaker 2: Back in time, maybe to the sixties.
Speaker 3: Then I felt like they started playing Titanic music, and
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was.
Speaker 2: Because I got I thought the same thing.
Speaker 1: Cut it out.
Speaker 2: I literally said to her husband, are we on the
Speaker 2: Titanic with this music?
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's because we're watching it weird?
Speaker 1: Do you know, like it's not the original, it's gotta be.
Speaker 1: But like it's gotta be that can't be the right music,
Speaker 1: literally playing the theme from Titano. It was like flutes.
Speaker 2: There were flutes in that accompaniment. I called it out
Speaker 2: my Dear Diary. The voiceover.
Speaker 1: Am I mistaken? When she says, Mom, you won't believe
Speaker 1: what I found? And then Cindy's just like we out
Speaker 1: to the bestraw me. It kind of goesep, I.
Speaker 2: Don't have time for you, Brenda. Jim's waiting for me
Speaker 2: in the car I've gotta go.
Speaker 1: Doesn't even politely say what did you.
Speaker 2: Find or save that I'll be back in a few
Speaker 2: hours and you can tell me. Oh about it, honey,
Speaker 2: because everybody's hating on Brenda, even her mother. Oh but yeah.
Speaker 2: That voiceover was was rough because it just felt like
Speaker 2: she was reading like the phone book. She was like,
Speaker 2: dear Diary, Sorry, no offense. I just call it like
Speaker 2: I see it. If this was my character doing that,
Speaker 2: I would have said the same damn thing. It bored
Speaker 2: me from the.
Speaker 3: Gate beyond and also calling your diary diary in your diary.
Speaker 2: One was that doesn't know, don't they say dear diary.
Speaker 3: Yes, But then there's another a couple of sentences later
Speaker 3: she says, I'm having such a crazy day diary.
Speaker 1: Or something like that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, maybe she met she had diarrhea and she
Speaker 2: just like, I don't know, make sense of it.
Speaker 3: I wonder if people are going to send us notes
Speaker 3: like I love this episode, an.
Speaker 2: I want to hear. I wish we could call somebody
Speaker 2: right now, or have somebody call us right now, which
Speaker 2: would be impossible, to just tell us why they liked it, Like,
Speaker 2: let please enlighten us, because maybe we're missing something. Maybe
Speaker 2: there are people out there that really liked seeing their
Speaker 2: favorite characters on TV dressed up in costumes.
Speaker 1: Shout out to TV Dinners. They got sort of a
Speaker 1: nice plug.
Speaker 2: That looked disgusting what they were feeding the family.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, and Mom, like Missus Walsh is or the
Speaker 1: fake Missus Walsh whatever is feeding TV Dinners.
Speaker 2: That wasn't Missus Walsh. I'm so confused. I really liked
Speaker 2: her perm though, but I tell you what.
Speaker 3: And the glasses on fake mister Walsh and Brandon Will
Speaker 3: you mean Will.
Speaker 2: Will Will was intense. He scared me. And you know what,
Speaker 2: I wish Tory was here with us, because she would
Speaker 2: she would probably know what I'm talking about. Like will
Speaker 2: reminds his energy and like his this his vibe reminds
Speaker 2: me of when Jason would direct. He would be like that,
Speaker 2: kind of more intense, like I got it all covered
Speaker 2: and handled, and that's how he made me feel. So
Speaker 2: I did not even realize that he directed this episode
Speaker 2: until I started this podcast this morning.
Speaker 3: It does sort of make things like interesting.
Speaker 2: I wish I had, Yeah, it could have helped me out.
Speaker 1: Oh I don't know.
Speaker 2: So then wait, how'd you feel when the door opened
Speaker 2: and there stood dill Wait, dil This is the This
Speaker 2: is like the perfect moment to call him dill Wig,
Speaker 2: because that's maybe this is where it came from. This
Speaker 2: is where the guys coined him dill Wig, because this
Speaker 2: is the episode where he's probably wearing a wig so
Speaker 2: bad and he just keeps going like that and he
Speaker 2: keeps flipping his hair. I think as he had to.
Speaker 2: I think Luke had to do something to alleviate his
Speaker 2: awkward energy with that wig oncuse.
Speaker 1: He knew it was so dumb too.
Speaker 2: He had to have with that.
Speaker 1: It's almost it's like you all were playing it jokey,
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like, maybe that was
Speaker 1: my problem too, like, yeah, no, one's playing it like
Speaker 1: you're really in the sixties.
Speaker 3: You're playing it like you're in Halloween costumes, just being stupid.
Speaker 2: And his mustache didn't go with the wig, It didn't
Speaker 2: go with the era. That felt like a emperor's last
Speaker 2: wish mustache, like you know, you see in the Disney movies,
Speaker 2: that Moulan movie, those guys had that mustache.
Speaker 3: Ah, and the thing that of course jarred me the most,
Speaker 3: which I'm sure you we flipped back to the nineties
Speaker 3: and Brenda puts her boots on her bed just I wrote.
Speaker 2: My god, you know what amy I to had the
Speaker 2: feeling that that was a bit disrespectful. However, I then thought, well,
Speaker 2: that's what teenagers do. They don't they don't care about
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So then it felt really true, like
Speaker 2: a real moment. But the problem for me was like,
Speaker 2: once we established Dylan in that wig and Brandon in
Speaker 2: that a situation like the people in the room couldn't
Speaker 2: stop laughing loudly, and I so, I don't even know
Speaker 2: what happened from then on.
Speaker 1: Well, don't be a crumbum.
Speaker 2: Isn't that that? Did they use that word? And yeah,
Speaker 2: that seems like something crumble. It's a you know, it's
Speaker 2: like a pain, like not don't be a bummer, don't
Speaker 2: be a fake.
Speaker 1: Missus. Walsh just just truly.
Speaker 2: She really liked the TV Dinners. She just wasn't gonna,
Speaker 2: you know what else, Here's what all of them looked ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Every single person in the show. The two people that
Speaker 2: looked believable were Donna. She looks believable and great. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she looked adorable with that fifties I mean it was
Speaker 2: kind of fifties not sixties she was. She was playing
Speaker 2: late fifties. Probably she hadn't Yeah, she hadn't turned over
Speaker 2: to the sixties.
Speaker 1: Yet she looked great at parts too.
Speaker 3: I thought there was a couple of parts where I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's almost like you looked younger than you looked the
Speaker 3: week before.
Speaker 1: It was really weird, like you looked super young. I'm cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt like was like checked out, even though
Speaker 2: like her character was so supposed to be, you know,
Speaker 2: have some impact on the Diary reader Brenda. I still
Speaker 2: I just felt like I slash Kelly was just checked
Speaker 2: out and thought, this is ridiculous. I don't want to
Speaker 2: be doing this. That's what I.
Speaker 1: Felt, so we're just dealing with this like sort of.
Speaker 3: Cartoon version right of the nineteen sixties, and then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, we're just thrown into Robert Kennedy and
Speaker 3: he shot and it's like historical and what is going on?
Speaker 2: I'm just not handled well at all, like that huge
Speaker 2: moment in history, and I mean it was rough. I thought, Wow,
Speaker 2: I don't know. The other person that looked really good
Speaker 2: was David. I felt like David looked really good only
Speaker 2: because if you took him out of this episode, I
Speaker 2: could see, actually I could see that person at my
Speaker 2: husband's bar in on the East Side, like he looks
Speaker 2: like a hipster, Like he looks.
Speaker 1: Like today didn't look quite as bad.
Speaker 2: Nah, and all.
Speaker 3: The sort of jokey jokes, Oh you don't have to inhale.
Speaker 2: Who are the Druggies though? In this episode, like all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, they were smoking weed by the campfire
Speaker 2: with new people.
Speaker 1: That's what I said. I wanted to have me too,
Speaker 1: I will Can we just follow them?
Speaker 2: This seems interesting? Nope, Nope, never seen her.
Speaker 3: It's like we haven't seen Andrea. Then she's back at
Speaker 3: the peach pit. Then Brenda comes in and tells them
Speaker 3: all about the diary.
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, what about when when they're at the one
Speaker 2: of the rallies or two rallies I don't even understand.
Speaker 2: But what about when when Brandon Nope, Will comes charging
Speaker 2: through and he's like channeling Forrest Gump.
Speaker 1: Totally yeah, in a bad way, and then fights Dylan
Speaker 1: fake Dylan.
Speaker 2: Because those two were going at it, and Will, Wendy's brother,
Speaker 2: Will was conveniently at odds with the love of Wendy's life.
Speaker 1: You know, it's bad. When I wanted more from the library,
Speaker 1: I was like, can we just hang with her?
Speaker 2: I felt bad for the librarian because she had some
Speaker 2: clunker of lines man like she really committed to her
Speaker 2: that and it was bad.
Speaker 3: Oh God, there's that one shot of Tori as Donna
Speaker 3: at the one of the rallies with the It's almost
Speaker 3: sort of an image you've seen a lot.
Speaker 1: She were in the cool sunglasses, she got the headband
Speaker 1: this way across the forehead and has that cool shirt.
Speaker 1: That was the best part of the whole episode too.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, that's a great Shata story.
Speaker 2: The way they they worked all the like like the
Speaker 2: song lyrics into the dialogue lines like.
Speaker 1: And the shot didn't bother me. I love the show,
Speaker 1: and I don't remember watching.
Speaker 3: This episode before, and obviously when I've rewatched, I certainly
Speaker 3: skipped this because it's probably only the second time I've
Speaker 3: ever seen this episode and it's garbage.
Speaker 1: And then they shout out the two thousand and one like,
Speaker 1: I think a space odyssey? You know that?
Speaker 2: Yazy yep? She says it was a real space odyssey. Okay, well,
Speaker 2: what about I can your way is just they're laden,
Speaker 2: It's laden with terrible lines. My apologies or whoever I'm offending,
Speaker 2: but I can't help myself. But uh, how did Brenda
Speaker 2: come to the realization through Wendy's diary that she loves
Speaker 2: Dylan and that's why she didn't want to go skiing?
Speaker 2: Is that a reach or would you?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: First of all, if we really go with the timeline
Speaker 3: of nine O two one zero, we know that she
Speaker 3: did get in the car with Dylan in Palm Springs
Speaker 3: and say I think I still love you.
Speaker 1: Now in the car she or right after she actually says,
Speaker 1: I think it was just the upsetness of Steward. So
Speaker 1: we sort of make peace with that.
Speaker 3: Then when we last left our friends they were all
Speaker 3: hunky dory after.
Speaker 1: The jail incident and all the fighting. Everything was good.
Speaker 3: So suddenly she's like bitter party of one, doesn't want
Speaker 3: to hang out her friends, and now she loves Dylan.
Speaker 2: Well. I mean, if I were a real Brenda fan
Speaker 2: in this moment, I would probably say she was masking
Speaker 2: her true feelings this whole time, and this really exposed
Speaker 2: her deepest feelings because she had this time alone with
Speaker 2: her diary, Wendy's diary, and it caused her to contemplate.
Speaker 3: The only thing I will say of this episode that
Speaker 3: I felt was sort of symbolic or could be was
Speaker 3: when we go to the back to the nineties and
Speaker 3: we find Wendy, Brenda goes and finds Wendy and we
Speaker 3: find out I thought, I thought this, maybe it was
Speaker 3: significant that Wendy did go to Woodstock Woodstock? I thought,
Speaker 3: am I to take something from that?
Speaker 2: That Brenda's Riley gonna take some action?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like don't let don't let because a boy kind
Speaker 3: of a thing.
Speaker 1: Isn't going right? That it that you stop your dreams?
Speaker 2: Or did she go to did Wendy go to Woodstock
Speaker 2: with Dilwig? I think maybe that was the message don't
Speaker 2: let your your true love get away from you, go
Speaker 2: to Woodstock with him.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: I took a different message, was it doesn't matter about
Speaker 3: the boy, go to Woodstock solo.
Speaker 2: Okay, I like your message much better than Ryan.
Speaker 1: But I was sure that's literally the only message from
Speaker 1: the whole episode. Yeah.
Speaker 2: That and don't do drugs because don't do psychedelics probably.
Speaker 1: And don't kick in your television.
Speaker 2: That was so aggressive, I know, But I love Cindy's
Speaker 2: reaction to it.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, she goes, I was watching about the program.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's program. I really like it that.
Speaker 3: They're eating jello. Did you see that? But they were
Speaker 3: eating green jello?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Man, I hate this thing.
Speaker 2: Like wow, I'm so I can't believe we all survived
Speaker 2: as a was a race after what we had to
Speaker 2: eat in the sixties, like those foods in the metal
Speaker 2: and the processed and the Yeah.
Speaker 1: And here's my other sort of problem is she loves Dylan.
Speaker 3: She's boo boo boo hoo ing. Then she she finds
Speaker 3: everybody's little whatever.
Speaker 1: And then the gang comes home and they're all heading
Speaker 1: off to was it Palm Springs or something? Where were
Speaker 1: they going and then she she sort of be bops
Speaker 1: along and it's fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know she's got a suppresident, Like, I'm
Speaker 2: so confused.
Speaker 1: It's very about she doesn't love Dylan.
Speaker 2: Well, what is she going to do? Proclaim it there
Speaker 2: in front of everyone because they all come magically to
Speaker 2: the Walsh cosa and what And the same moment the
Speaker 2: whole group, nobody is doing.
Speaker 1: Nobody's doing the math on how far it is to Mammoth.
Speaker 1: I mean it is five hour drive to Mammoth.
Speaker 2: In two hours.
Speaker 1: Just left, they're going.
Speaker 3: They went all the way to Mammoth and then the
Speaker 3: snow wasn't good or something happened.
Speaker 1: They're coming all the way back. They're picking up Brenda
Speaker 1: like there hasn't been a speck of traffic when they're.
Speaker 2: Gonna go on the same day.
Speaker 3: I think it's a different day. But so who tries
Speaker 3: to Mammoth and turns around and comes right back the
Speaker 3: next day?
Speaker 1: Which kids that too wants to drive to Palm Springs,
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't fight the ten.
Speaker 2: Oh they don't give about the traffic, They don't care.
Speaker 1: They don't care about that gas mileage.
Speaker 2: Oh no, but didn't you know what else happened, which
Speaker 2: really wasn't even like talked about or emphasized. Dill No,
Speaker 2: whoever the hell David was in this episode, he has
Speaker 2: sex with whoever the hell Donna was and then never
Speaker 2: talks to her again. So clear were to take from that,
Speaker 2: how good it is that Donna's holding out on David
Speaker 2: makes us like Donna a little bit more. Maybe I
Speaker 2: don't know and like, okay.
Speaker 3: As a viewer, or are we to take all of
Speaker 3: this as foreshadowing? But then I'm like, we don't. These
Speaker 3: people are not connected to our people.
Speaker 2: I tried so hard to keep them connected, like I tried.
Speaker 2: I tried so hard to make it relevant to the
Speaker 2: current world that these kids live in, but it wasn't.
Speaker 2: And You're right, I wish it had been tied together.
Speaker 3: Some reason to care about these randoms. I also have
Speaker 3: a flag on the play that when Jim and Cindy
Speaker 3: come in, I can't remember at what point Jim's.
Speaker 1: Got the apple, right, Jim's chomping on the apple. Then
Speaker 1: we go into the bedroom and Cindy's got the apple.
Speaker 2: Well, because I think back then apples were the way
Speaker 2: to combat the lack of nutrition. They were getting this.
Speaker 1: Nineties. Jim at the Apple back at present was such
Speaker 1: a mess. Oh, it was such a mess. I had
Speaker 1: to stretch my legs.
Speaker 2: That was you know, it was just a mess. Feel bad.
Speaker 2: I feel bad for hating it as much as I did,
Speaker 2: because I know that that was a lot of work.
Speaker 2: Everybody put a lot of time and effort into those
Speaker 2: costumes and those weird and really committed to it.
Speaker 1: Even good if they wanted to do it, do it good. Instead,
Speaker 1: they did it so cartoony.
Speaker 2: Yeah. What about when Andrea was dancing with the daisy
Speaker 2: in her moomoo? Good god? How long is this girl
Speaker 2: going to be pregnant? You guys pregnant?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: One of the chicks was like my I think would
Speaker 3: have been like, just don't put her in the sixties,
Speaker 3: Like just say she didn't do that hard?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was Why would they do that to her?
Speaker 2: I guess she wanted to be a part of it.
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to be a total jerkquad, but
Speaker 1: I actually think this episode maybe would have been better
Speaker 1: if other people played all these fake people like just
Speaker 1: hire after then you would have been like I care
Speaker 1: even less, How's impossible. I just didn't. I just was
Speaker 1: like this is so irritating.
Speaker 2: We are really just bumming so many people out right now.
Speaker 1: So sorry, I a little bit start your week.
Speaker 2: This is something we hate, let's talk about it for
Speaker 2: an hour, and there's never anything good gonna come out
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 3: And I didn't hate the scenes with the real people
Speaker 3: I care about. That's why I'm saying, like, just say
Speaker 3: we're out of money, we don't have any good ideas
Speaker 3: and make it an eight minute episode.
Speaker 2: Fine with that minutes? Oh man, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I kind of did sort of do a deep dive
Speaker 3: to try and see I could I get any sort
Speaker 3: of background on this?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: What was it? What did the title even mean? The
Speaker 2: time has come today?
Speaker 3: Maybe the time has come, which is like the reference
Speaker 3: to them but today, so we're to see the parallels fail.
Speaker 1: The only takeaway.
Speaker 3: Now that I get, is it Jason Prisley does have
Speaker 3: a very unique directing sensibility that I should have spotted,
Speaker 3: meaning it sort of does remind me of the last
Speaker 3: time he did he directed. It's different than just a
Speaker 3: regular old episode.
Speaker 2: I feel like there's a general feeling of more like
Speaker 2: fun like people. Everybody's especially the guy characters, are looser
Speaker 2: in their acting and just having more fun.
Speaker 3: Yes, and they almost it almost breaks the storyline. Now
Speaker 3: I'm fuzzy, but the last time he directed was like
Speaker 3: The Magic Mountain Day right, and then they were filmed.
Speaker 1: That dumb yeah, and then they commercial on.
Speaker 2: Top of each other in that one shot and they're.
Speaker 1: Randomly helping that random girl.
Speaker 2: It pulls you out of the story because it's not
Speaker 2: the characters, it's the it's the actors.
Speaker 3: So maybe that when they write an episode like this,
Speaker 3: do they write it for him to direct, Like, Hey,
Speaker 3: we're kind of like stopping the storyline for a hot
Speaker 3: minute because this has no purpose.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I don't think that they
Speaker 2: wrote this for him to direct. I think when you
Speaker 2: direct an episodic like this, you get what you're given
Speaker 2: to direct. You're like, oh, here you are. This is
Speaker 2: your episode, episode twenty five, and it happens to be
Speaker 2: a sixties slash back and you're like.
Speaker 1: What right? Right? Right? Yeah? I mean that makes sense.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just really just so bad.
Speaker 3: It's my least favorite of the whole thing so far.
Speaker 3: Full definitely so far. But I think in the whole
Speaker 3: ten years, unless there's.
Speaker 1: Another one of these I forgot about.
Speaker 2: I think there might be because I remember an episode.
Speaker 2: I think it's not like a flashback, but it's like
Speaker 2: a past life regression where Dylan is doing deep therapy
Speaker 2: or something, and as I remember wearing a wig and
Speaker 2: being in the in the Old and West days, So
Speaker 2: I know there's something else coming. I don't know what
Speaker 2: season that is, but it's something to look forward to.
Speaker 3: I weirdly not to jump around stumble on an aggressive
Speaker 3: TikTok the other day of Kelly doing so many drugs.
Speaker 2: You should have sent it to me.
Speaker 3: I should afford just going through drawer and looking for drugs,
Speaker 3: and I just was like, oh God, that's coming to
Speaker 3: look forward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that either. Well, it's
Speaker 2: weird because Peter aka.
Speaker 1: Dylan even getting their names.
Speaker 2: Well his name is Peter. I don't know why that
Speaker 2: still stood out to me. But he gets bashed over
Speaker 2: the head by the cop. So but he lives and
Speaker 2: then will dies in the which nobody not. I don't
Speaker 2: want to hear about that.
Speaker 5: It's so.
Speaker 1: I want to try to redeem it, but I can't
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 3: I actually was stressed yesterday because I watched it a
Speaker 3: couple of days ago, and I was like, how am
Speaker 3: I gonna talk to you?
Speaker 1: I know, what do you give it?
Speaker 2: Oh? What do you give it?
Speaker 1: Let's score it.
Speaker 2: I like to see what you give it. You're not.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna hold it up. It's three.
Speaker 2: You give it a three.
Speaker 1: It's my lowest ever.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with you on the three.
Speaker 2: Maybe a two slash three. Wow, that's that's harsh. But
Speaker 2: but I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm just I don't want to end on this sour note.
Speaker 3: I want to find some comedy or joy.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I feel like it's my fault. I feel
Speaker 2: really responsible. I do, I do, I do.
Speaker 1: I think it's priestly small. I think it's the I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, it's.
Speaker 5: Just, uh, we're just roach something inappropriate.
Speaker 2: She said, Let's just tell them what she said. Our
Speaker 2: producer said, on a high note, David had blootballs in
Speaker 2: the sixties, just like he does in the nineties. Okay, but.
Speaker 1: Next week and a bath will solve everything.
Speaker 2: See, you know that's true for me, that's true.
Speaker 1: You. Oh I love a bath.
Speaker 2: I love a bath.
Speaker 1: I can staying there for two hours.
Speaker 2: It's nice, so nice. And people leave you alone usually
Speaker 2: when you're in the bath.
Speaker 1: And especially with TikTok these days, I can get in
Speaker 1: there with my phone and literally, wait, TikTok.
Speaker 2: That's you can't You can't take your phone into your bag.
Speaker 1: I do maybe first of all.
Speaker 2: That defeats the whole bath purpose.
Speaker 1: I can watch an entire movie in there, now.
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's one thing. But if you're tiktoking in
Speaker 2: the bathtub, you have a problem.
Speaker 3: That's it's almost like I don't feel guilty tiktoking in
Speaker 3: the bath because it's like I'm in here, I don't
Speaker 3: have anything else to do.
Speaker 2: What if you drop your phone in the bathtub?
Speaker 1: Tragic? Do you think what's next week? I pray, Oh,
Speaker 1: are we getting to play next week? Wait? What is
Speaker 1: next week?
Speaker 2: It's called blind Spot episode twenty six. Next week is
Speaker 2: blind Spot. That's your homework, everybody, But you have no
Speaker 2: idea what it's about. None, not one.
Speaker 1: There is some good stuff coming blind Spot. I think
Speaker 1: we just sort of pretend this didn't happen.
Speaker 2: Hmmm.
Speaker 3: And I'm sorry to go on and on, but Brenda
Speaker 3: in the sixties didn't look sixties. She was the one
Speaker 3: she looked like nineties in the message.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got the sense from not only Kelly but
Speaker 2: Brenda to they didn't want to be doing that episode.
Speaker 2: It felt like nobody wanted to be a part of
Speaker 2: that except maybe Steve looked like he was enjoying it
Speaker 2: and Dylan was enjoyed.
Speaker 1: The boys were having more fun just being clowns about it.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, they were just like, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: camp this up.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just felt like, oh, and.
Speaker 1: Then Brenda took the Mustang? Why because she was out
Speaker 1: of touris right?
Speaker 5: I know it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like did she usually take the Mustake? She usually
Speaker 1: drives Mom's wagon.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: I think it looks like a tourist, but I'm not
Speaker 1: really sure if it was a Ford tourist backup.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe Mom was busy at the swap meet. I
Speaker 2: don't know. It's a lot, it's a lot. I feel
Speaker 2: like everybody needs some time to just sort of like
Speaker 2: put this behind us and sorry, just let's just all
Speaker 2: move forward and maybe forgets that this ever happened. Can
Speaker 2: we do that?
Speaker 5: We are?
Speaker 2: There's no choice, there's no choice. Well, I really wanted
Speaker 2: to thank everybody out there for spending an hour of
Speaker 2: your week with.
Speaker 1: Us stopped listening minutes ago.
Speaker 2: Oh, I feel like our true true fans stuck with us. Amy.
Speaker 2: They're mad that, you know, sad that Tory is not here.
Speaker 2: They hated the episode. True, but it's a it's a thing.

Speaker 2: though blind Spot is blind spot name of a TV
