Speaker 1: I've been I've had mixtapes in my mind for a
Speaker 1: couple of reasons, but the main one is I sent
Speaker 1: stuff off the Legacy box and I had these tapes
Speaker 1: like audio tapes that I had no idea what was
Speaker 1: on them. Turns out they were mostly just mixtapes. So
Speaker 1: it's just you know, song collections that way I used
Speaker 1: to I used to also make mixtapes where I would
Speaker 1: put movie quotes, Like I would hold the tape recorder
Speaker 1: up to the movie screen, so we would make like
Speaker 1: I would make a tape for a friend, and I
Speaker 1: would include like quotes from movies that we love or
Speaker 1: that we always quoted and stuff, so it's cool to
Speaker 1: listen back. Yeah, And then I'm writing this thing where
Speaker 1: I am using a mixtape in in this in this
Speaker 1: piece that I'm writing from the nineties, like I find
Speaker 1: a mixtape and I but it was so cool. I like,
Speaker 1: this is one of the ways that you can use
Speaker 1: chat Gpt like creatively, because like I don't want, obviously,
Speaker 1: I don't want like chat Gpt to write stuff for me.
Speaker 1: I can use him, use him her it as like
Speaker 1: a writing coach or like a partner in some ways.
Speaker 1: And so what I decided to do. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me what songs would be
Speaker 1: on this mixtape if this character is this so like I,
Speaker 1: you know, if a seventeen year old girl in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety five, and I was like, I gave like a
Speaker 1: couple of songs. I was like, I definitely want these
Speaker 1: three on there. Can you make the rest? Like what
Speaker 1: other songs would be on there? And then I made
Speaker 1: a playlist based on that list, And so then I'm
Speaker 1: listening while I'm writing, I'm listening to a mixtape from
Speaker 1: a fictional character. It was so closing, you know. It's
Speaker 1: like able to like engage in the creativity in a
Speaker 1: way like I don't know, cause it's like I could
Speaker 1: obviously come up with the list, but it would be
Speaker 1: all songs. I knew. This way, I was able to
Speaker 1: like discover songs that a seventeen year old girl in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five would anyway, So, what would you guys
Speaker 1: have on your mixtape from the nineties?
Speaker 2: Okay, this is how we do it, like this, we
Speaker 2: do this is how we do it. For sure. It
Speaker 2: would be something from all right, I only have that one?
Speaker 2: Will you go with with one of yours.
Speaker 3: Uh well, yeah, let's go one at a time then,
Speaker 3: because the first one that popped into my head was
Speaker 3: the Sugar song that I played all the time from
Speaker 3: Copper Blue. Remember went down to the river, so that
Speaker 3: that song would have been on there, blanking on the
Speaker 3: name of it. Who could Yeah, you played me the.
Speaker 4: Oh you think Paul from when you weren't into you?
Speaker 1: Weren't that into beastie boys, were you?
Speaker 3: No, it's just that because I had the speaker in
Speaker 3: the back of my car, which is still there.
Speaker 4: Uh that thing that just thumped with the Paul Revere, So.
Speaker 1: You still have the speaker?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Does it work?
Speaker 4: I honestly don't even know.
Speaker 1: I have not. I would love to sit in your
Speaker 1: car and re experience that bass.
Speaker 3: It was so funny because last time I was home
Speaker 3: in Connecticut, I went and checked the car out and
Speaker 3: I sat in it, and it smells exactly like it
Speaker 3: did when I was sixteen. Like it was the strangest
Speaker 3: I'm sitting in my car again. It smells exactly the same.
Speaker 3: It's the hint of cigarette, the hint of just the leather.
Speaker 4: It's uh, yeah, it was so weird.
Speaker 3: I love my car.
Speaker 2: Writer, what would be in yours.
Speaker 1: Well, obviously it would just be three live Counting Crows songs.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, would definitely be creative.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, definitely because I used to collect tapes of concerts,
Speaker 1: like all the bootlegs of Counting Crows, So there would
Speaker 1: definitely be like the live version of Murder of One
Speaker 1: with some eleven minute improvs ad because it was all
Speaker 1: like some crazy story and like, oh this is where
Speaker 1: you're singing a yeah, So I would have definitely been
Speaker 1: one of those. And then Van Morrison song Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I would have been you know something off of astral
Speaker 1: Weeks for sure.
Speaker 3: And then.
Speaker 1: My third song you Know I was Annie DiFranco. Oh funny,
Speaker 1: because I don't listen to her at all anymore. I
Speaker 1: just stopped listening to her newer music like basically since
Speaker 1: two thousand, since two thousand, but her nineties stuff I
Speaker 1: really still love. The lyrics are incredible, and so yeah,
Speaker 1: I was a huge honor to Franco fan, so probably
Speaker 1: would have been one of her songs like.
Speaker 2: She's so funny. I knew I loved Donnie DeFranco, and
Speaker 2: I did not remember that the reason I knew of
Speaker 2: her was because you introduced me to her, but you're right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I love Donnie DeFranco, so I would this is how
Speaker 2: we do it, and then it would be eight No
Speaker 2: Fun from Snoop Dogg's album Doggie Style, Gotcha, and then
Speaker 2: Return of the Mac.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, those would be no either of those others
Speaker 3: written the Mac? Yeah, Mark Morrison, I might put something
Speaker 3: on there from Weezer's Blue album. Oh yeah, if I'm honest,
Speaker 3: that was a great album in the nineties, especially so
Speaker 3: I don't know which song it might have been.
Speaker 2: And really.
Speaker 1: Without parents? No, no, that was a fish show.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I went to. My first concert was actually the Hold
Speaker 1: onto the Night guy what's his name, Richard? When I
Speaker 1: was like eight.
Speaker 2: I love it so much.
Speaker 1: It was so loud.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, who would have known that coming up
Speaker 2: in just a few short years that was going to
Speaker 2: be the theme song to your character.
Speaker 1: Jacket for your jacket? Yeah, no, it's so Yeah. When
Speaker 1: I was thirteen or fourteen, I guess my first concert
Speaker 1: were like went without parents, like dropped off in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Was was Weezer?
Speaker 3: Apparently they're great live. I never saw great there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so Weezer and you're who does anything?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: No, it's it's tough.
Speaker 3: Although I will say, what was your first concert, Danielle,
Speaker 3: because mine was the Beach Boys as a kid.
Speaker 2: Mine was Aerosmith.
Speaker 4: That was the first one you went to.
Speaker 2: My first ever concert was with Yeah, it was with
Speaker 2: Angel and VICKI and you guys and yeah.
Speaker 4: See the picture every day.
Speaker 2: What's your third song?
Speaker 1: Will No?
Speaker 3: I said, I think so sugar, and but again, this
Speaker 3: is all if I'm just sticking with the nineties, if
Speaker 3: it's that I had no but I mean, if it's
Speaker 3: nineties music, if it's mixtapes that I have in the nineties,
Speaker 3: and I was in a huge Pink Floyd phase still,
Speaker 3: so there would have been I did have Morrison, which was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, there would have been a lot of
Speaker 4: Pink Floyd.
Speaker 3: I still personally think Dark Side of the Moon is
Speaker 3: the greatest album that's ever been made, start to finish.
Speaker 1: So it's funny like I, yeah, I definitely listened to
Speaker 1: some Pink Floyd, but like everybody in my town listened
Speaker 1: to Pink Floyd.
Speaker 3: Yeah, crazy, yeah it was. I loved Pink Floyd. I
Speaker 3: still do.
Speaker 2: I still I have futually ever heard Dark Side of
Speaker 2: the Moon. That's it really yeah, remember.
Speaker 4: The wall never heard you never heard Comfortably Numb or.
Speaker 2: I mean maybe like on the radio, but I've never
Speaker 2: like listened to the album.
Speaker 4: So it's so good and the movie is just crazy.
Speaker 2: What would the pod meets World mixtape be? What are three?
Speaker 2: What would the Boy meets World pod meets World mixtape?
Speaker 2: Hold On, Hold onto the Night?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've talked.
Speaker 1: About I mean, yeah, well we've already if you already
Speaker 1: took this is how we do.
Speaker 2: It, so has to be on there. And then a
Speaker 2: third Boy meets World Pod meets World.
Speaker 3: I would say, just because maybe uh, just because he's
Speaker 3: family and how much we love him. Maybe a y
Speaker 3: Kylie Oh great, I.
Speaker 2: Think that, But we could also then let's expand and
Speaker 2: let's do a Hepcat song. Yes, so let's do out
Speaker 2: a Kylie add a Hepcat song, Lisa Lobe, stay.
Speaker 4: And hold on to Them, hold on to the Night.
Speaker 3: That's a solid mixtape right there, you are either hipster
Speaker 3: dancing or getting laid.
Speaker 2: Of course in this bomb It's world.
Speaker 4: You just have them the Ray Colecord mix mix tape.
Speaker 1: Then what was the second season was like a jazzy
Speaker 1: sort of like.
Speaker 3: The third third season where we're in the pool hall
Speaker 3: is the one where it's just the guitars, right.
Speaker 2: And that's very sure. Yeah, that's just Yeah, we'll have
Speaker 2: all of those, all of those we may need to
Speaker 2: make this well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the problem is no one's going to be able
Speaker 4: to play the tape.

Speaker 1: I'm your host of the podcast host.
Speaker 4: I'm your host of talking show, Danielle Fischle.
Speaker 2: So thank you all for joining us for this episode recap.
Speaker 2: It is season six, episode fifteen, road Trip. It originally
Speaker 2: aired February fifth, nineteen ninety nine. The synopsis to get
Speaker 2: his mind off of his dad's death. Sean takes Corey
Speaker 2: on a soul searching road trip in Chet's trailer and
Speaker 2: they end up at a very musical truck stop. It
Speaker 2: was directed by David Kendall and it was written by
Speaker 2: Ma Nelson. Before I jump into all of our guest stars, uh,
Speaker 2: does anybody want to share their overall thoughts?
Speaker 4: First?
Speaker 1: This was a clunker for me, just flat, low energy.
Speaker 1: It was just inert, like just a weird episode of
Speaker 1: So Weird Happening. I just was like, there's no energy.
Speaker 1: There's no energy in the story. There's no energy. I
Speaker 1: just even with a musical performance, there's a performance and
Speaker 1: like love Triangley stuff on the story. Couldn't say it.
Speaker 1: It was just flat. Everything felt flat, like nothing really
Speaker 1: made sense to me.
Speaker 2: It was just like, I know this episode needed a
Speaker 2: blood transfusion.
Speaker 4: I don't even consider this a boy met told them.
Speaker 2: You don't even want to go yeah outside, I just say.
Speaker 1: Sean goes on the road and meets his ghost dad,
Speaker 1: like we could learn that in another yes later.
Speaker 4: What this and this was to me?
Speaker 3: This was a twenty minute Saturday Morning special that Disney did,
Speaker 3: which was just a one little thing where Corey and
Speaker 3: Sean are on like the road trip should have been
Speaker 3: whole on the episode. And as a little aside, they
Speaker 3: launched this new girl band on a Saturday morning to show,
Speaker 3: but to wedge it into an episode I was literally watching.
Speaker 3: I was like, this is this is not a show.
Speaker 1: This is this is it's bad. It's just poor, like
Speaker 1: it's poor integration. It doesn't feels like it is a
Speaker 1: commercial for this band's commercial.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 1: And then also like it's you're rehashing the same plotline
Speaker 1: of season two episode one with Eric right or season
Speaker 1: three episode one. I was like, wait a minute, we've
Speaker 1: done this before, seen this basically this set and these
Speaker 1: characters and the whole.
Speaker 2: Asking a question what are you doing? When are you
Speaker 2: and then no, nothing, nothing, I'm not coming home.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: It's like.
Speaker 4: Sitting down eating pie. I mean it's like even the
Speaker 4: same complete Yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 3: And the b story they obviously just well, we were
Speaker 3: paying them this week, so we as we'll give them
Speaker 3: six lines each. You didn't need it. They should have
Speaker 3: just made it again a twenty minute Saturday morning special,
Speaker 3: launch this girl band and then get back into the show.
Speaker 3: This was a this was real it wasn't good or
Speaker 3: bad to me. It was this was not an episode
Speaker 3: of boy Metrol.
Speaker 2: Yeah, take it out, take it out of the cannon. Yep,
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 6: I'm there.
Speaker 2: Like writer said, there's some stuff we have to know.
Speaker 2: We have to know that ghost ghost Chet.
Speaker 4: Exists, is going to be a thing.
Speaker 1: And that was the best scene of the whole thing.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm seeing. I was like, oh, Blake and
Speaker 1: I are having like a moment and it's emotional, and
Speaker 1: I was like, that's all you needed. Just make that
Speaker 1: as one scene of another episode.
Speaker 2: I Also the other thing I like is the idea
Speaker 2: that on the road trip you would stumble a lot
Speaker 2: upon a picture of your dad in a place, and
Speaker 2: that I love that. I love that idea that that
Speaker 2: would trigger something in you that you could discover more
Speaker 2: about your dad's life away from you. Like the only
Speaker 2: memories you have of your dad are your childhood memories
Speaker 2: where you were taking care of him, But he had
Speaker 2: a and you don't know any part about his other
Speaker 2: thriving life when he was away from you. And so
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying, how it is just like.
Speaker 3: A toast and like a really I don't know what
Speaker 3: I will say one of my new favorite things in
Speaker 3: my entire life now is Rider's face as the girls
Speaker 3: are singing directly.
Speaker 2: I cannot believe you just said that. It was the
Speaker 2: only moment I mentioned to Jens Jensen and I watched
Speaker 2: it separately. I don't even think I want and I said,
Speaker 2: writers faced they are singing. They basically boop him in
Speaker 2: the nose, and writers like this, and I know he's
Speaker 2: dead inside, just completely just literally you're gone on another planet.
Speaker 3: It's my favorite new thing is that I want that
Speaker 3: as my screen saver. Just your face as the girls
Speaker 3: are singing directly to you. It's just like, I'm here
Speaker 3: so uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Actor like actually have them sing live at least like
Speaker 1: make it. Just did a karaoke episode. These girls could
Speaker 1: obviously singod live. Why do they have suddenly a track?
Speaker 2: It was just yeah, it was so does it need
Speaker 2: to be the whole song?
Speaker 4: It was the whole song?
Speaker 1: So were they on the Hollywood records?
Speaker 3: Were they on the Yeah, they must have to launch them.
Speaker 3: And because again they you know, I think Backstreet Boys
Speaker 3: were on uh, Sabrina, you know that this happens. I
Speaker 3: think and Sink came on a show. I mean, that's
Speaker 3: this is what they do. But this was not a
Speaker 3: good integration of them into the show. It was really
Speaker 3: forced and just oh god, that was God Your Face
Speaker 3: Rider was just so good. That was absolutely magic.
Speaker 2: By the way, those other bands in Sync and Backstreet
Speaker 2: and whatever, they weren't on Hollywood Records. This was this
Speaker 2: band was on the on this is now post the
Speaker 2: Disney buying of ABC, and this is Hollywood exactly. Synergy
Speaker 2: s energy, synergy exactly what this is. So that's that's
Speaker 2: that's it. That's the reason.
Speaker 3: And I remember the girls being lovely by the way,
Speaker 3: the girls perhapsolutely wonderful and actual.
Speaker 1: Positive memories of this episode because the week was fun, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is yeah, this is weirdful.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So guest starring Blake Clark is back as Chet Hunter.
Speaker 2: You might be wondering how he's dead. Well, I have
Speaker 2: one word for you. He's a ghost.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: So then there's Sarah Christine Smith as Sarah, one member
Speaker 2: of Nobody's Angel, the once signed to Hollywood Records girl
Speaker 2: group who plays themselves in the episode. Sarah was a
Speaker 2: professional dancer who appeared in the first and second Austin
Speaker 2: Powers Movies screamed two She's all that like Mike That
Speaker 2: seventy Show, to name a few. She also played Cinnamon,
Speaker 2: which I have to guess is a different type of
Speaker 2: dancer on the OC. She is bill acting today in
Speaker 2: things like the Hallmark movie Love's Second Chance and Lifetime's
Speaker 2: Sins of My Husband. And then we have Altza as Ali,
Speaker 2: another Nobody's Angel member. She started as an actress on
Speaker 2: six episodes of Michael Jacob's My Two Dads, Oh and
Speaker 2: an episode of Blossom, but she is best known now
Speaker 2: as twinkle Time, the Peruvian American pop star for children
Speaker 2: or what the New York Times called Lady Gaga for kids.
Speaker 2: There is an entire twinkle Time empire, both in the
Speaker 2: American and Latin markets. She's almost a real life Bratstall
Speaker 2: and you can learn more at twinkletimeanfriends dot com. And
Speaker 2: then we have Amy, Sue Hardy and Stacy Harper. They
Speaker 2: round out the group playing Amy and Stacy. And we've
Speaker 2: got the return of Mickey Jones now as Milkshake Guy.
Speaker 2: Mickey appeared on Boy Meets World back in season four's
Speaker 2: Janitor Dad as Ezekiel, the mountain man who briefly worked
Speaker 2: at the Wilderness Store. Can we assume this is the
Speaker 2: same character? Do we think he's just still playing Ezekiel now?
Speaker 3: Because he was power somebody was powerful sick. So I
Speaker 3: don't know if I thought that was her mom, but
Speaker 3: it might have been the mom. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So. Jones was an unmistakable character actor who appeared on
Speaker 2: TV shows like Charlie's Angels, Workaholics, Home Improvement, and Married
Speaker 2: with Children and movies like Total Recall, Stir Crazy, National
Speaker 2: Lampoon's Vacation, and Sling Blade. But that was his second career, yep.
Speaker 2: He started off as a drummer, playing for Bob Dylan,
Speaker 2: Trinny Lopez, and Kenny Rogers. He played on a total
Speaker 2: of seventeen Gold Records before he turned his attention to acting,
Speaker 2: and sadly, Mickey passed away from complications of diabetes in
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen at the age of seventy six.
Speaker 1: I probably talked about talking to him when he was
Speaker 1: on before, but this was the week where I really
Speaker 1: spent like a lot of time home getting stories about
Speaker 1: playing with Bob Dylan. He was on like the sixty
Speaker 1: five tour, ye like just but I also remember things
Speaker 1: like he was he's quick to tell me. He's like,
Speaker 1: you know, the one band that none of us understood
Speaker 1: back in the day. I was like, why, He's like
Speaker 1: the Doors they just sucked. They just played basic blues.
Speaker 1: We could never He's like, I guess, I guess he
Speaker 1: was charismatic but like you know, Jim Morrison, but otherwise,
Speaker 1: like the music was so dumb. It was the first,
Speaker 1: like a real musician to tell me that. I remember
Speaker 1: being like, I guess you're kind of right. It was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a basic blues progression. It's like three chords and
Speaker 1: just Dan. I was like, so I can never plicit
Speaker 1: to the Doors without thinking about him saying.
Speaker 2: So funny thinking about that conversation.
Speaker 1: But he was so sober. So he he was always
Speaker 1: like since I never drank, I remember everything from the
Speaker 1: sixties and seventies, so he's like so all the other musicians.
Speaker 1: He would just tell me stories and like, I remember
Speaker 1: I was supposed to bring because at that time, like
Speaker 1: right around that time, they had released a live version
Speaker 1: of Dylan's sixty five tour and I he wanted he
Speaker 1: was going to sign it for me, and I forgot
Speaker 1: to bring it to the last day and he's like,
Speaker 1: did you bring it him like, oh no, I forgot
Speaker 1: it out, so I don't have a signature on my own.
Speaker 2: That stinks. And then Art Lafleur as Bill. This is
Speaker 2: quite a fun surprise. You can add another actor to
Speaker 2: the somewhat unexplainable connection between Boy Meets World and the Sandlot,
Speaker 2: since Lafleur played the Babe Babe Ruth in the movie. Laflour,
Speaker 2: another accomplished character actor, appeared on TV shows Mash, thirty Something, Webster,
Speaker 2: and Soap to name a few, and some classic movies
Speaker 2: like Cobra, Field of Dreams, Wargames, and Air America List
Speaker 2: What I Know. Lafleur passed away in twenty twenty one
Speaker 2: after a ten year battle with Parkinson's disease. He was
Speaker 2: seventy eight years old.
Speaker 1: What a look, right, has a presence? He just has
Speaker 1: like such a great character. Look just all you do
Speaker 1: is walk on on screen and you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like the earth. Yeah, he just has this like yeah,
Speaker 1: he's really but I don't know the I'm not doing
Speaker 1: him any favors on our show, and I just feel
Speaker 1: like he's.
Speaker 3: We need to know he was.
Speaker 2: What does he do on Mash?
Speaker 3: Well, here's a guest star. But he came as several
Speaker 3: guest stars, and the most notable one I remember is
Speaker 3: when Hawkeye was gifted an entire side of beef that
Speaker 3: has to thought out. It's the episode where Margaret's father
Speaker 3: shows up at the Yeah, okay, this is later in
Speaker 3: the series when they're kind of grasping its draws a
Speaker 3: little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone brings the side of beef.
Speaker 3: Margaret's dad shows up, and it's like they have one
Speaker 3: where Colonel Potter's son shows up and he's like, you're
Speaker 3: in the middle of a war, guys.
Speaker 2: I think we are spending too much time thinking about
Speaker 2: our own Like, if that's a good pitch, we are
Speaker 2: working too hard trying to come up with our idea. Well,
Speaker 2: if someone just brings a side.
Speaker 4: Of beef, great. It was supposed to be it was
Speaker 4: supposed to go to the general, but it was rerouted.
Speaker 3: So now the General is trying to track down his
Speaker 3: side of beef and Art Befloor comes in to try
Speaker 3: to get.
Speaker 1: The beef back.
Speaker 2: Get the beef back. Okay, yeah, yeah, this is good.
Speaker 4: How was the beef story? Margaret's that being a jerk
Speaker 4: was the a story?
Speaker 2: So jumping into our recap. We are on the road trip,
Speaker 2: a rare continuation from the prior episode where the two
Speaker 2: friends agreed to get out of town. It's the classic
Speaker 2: TV setup where the car is not moving, but you
Speaker 2: have screens out the windows to mimic movement.
Speaker 4: Okay, question, I'm sorry, question right here.
Speaker 1: Just horrible touchy wheel, touchy wheel, touchy turney wheel, turney wheel,
Speaker 1: tar thurty wheel. Talk.
Speaker 4: How big is your trailer?
Speaker 1: I know, dude, don't get me. When we walked into
Speaker 1: the trailer, I was like, wait, we're actually towing. This
Speaker 1: is not a tolerible trailer. It's a trailer park trailer. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's a mobile hole. Like our writers did not understand
Speaker 1: how mobile homes work.
Speaker 4: Now, thank you.
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. He's later.
Speaker 3: I just see you driving down the freeway with this
Speaker 3: giant mobile home scraping along the ground because it lack ridge,
Speaker 3: and like.
Speaker 1: That is not the kind of mobile home you drive
Speaker 1: around and what But I guess they had already made
Speaker 1: that mistake by making a joke drove her home away.
Speaker 2: Michael Jacobs lived in a thirteen thousand square foot house, and.
Speaker 3: One of his understanding of didn't he thinks if it's mobile,
Speaker 3: get to drive, you can tow it with a pickup truck.
Speaker 1: Apparently that is like, like, I can't believe none of
Speaker 1: us called it out, Like what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Like at all the furniture and like there's streams, it's
Speaker 1: a house. It's like, wait, how do we tie this
Speaker 1: all down for Sean to leave the next morning? Like
Speaker 1: what the dumb mistake?
Speaker 3: It was great, He's so absurd that it was great,
Speaker 3: But it's play for reality.
Speaker 2: But is this the first time you're thinking about it,
Speaker 2: because that's what we were saying the whole time, is
Speaker 2: that when he was Oh, you mean when like when
Speaker 2: every time Chet would leave, we would that would be
Speaker 2: the thing that that would be the place that was gone.
Speaker 2: He's taken that with him. You didn't have that place
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 1: That was just a joke when Verna, no, I think
Speaker 1: the joke, but like I didn't realize that like it
Speaker 1: was being played for real that she.
Speaker 4: You're hitching up your house to a pickup truck.
Speaker 2: This is, by the way, when we mentioned moving to Adler,
Speaker 2: when we talk about like someday where we might move
Speaker 2: from this house, and he goes, can what if we
Speaker 2: can we take our house with us, Like, let's move
Speaker 2: closer to pop up in teen Tina memes, but could
Speaker 2: we bring our house? This is what he wants to do.
Speaker 3: He wants to just think you actually can do that. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's an actual thing. There's companies that will like move
Speaker 3: your home, right, but it's a big project. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: not cheap a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: Trucks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: So Corey sits passenger while Sean, in a red bandana
Speaker 2: and his leather jacket, drives the truck. Though being on
Speaker 2: the road seems cool to Corey at first, he worriedly
Speaker 2: asks Sean where they're going. Sean dodges the question. This
Speaker 2: is exactly what he needed to take his mind off
Speaker 2: of everything. Corey tells Sean he is so sorry about
Speaker 2: his dad dying, and Sean laughs it off, Cory, you're
Speaker 2: not helping, So Corey changes the subject. He's sorry about
Speaker 2: Angela too. Sean' scoffs, how about a drive off right
Speaker 2: now instead of a previously on I'll just say it.
Speaker 4: Out last, I'll say it again.
Speaker 3: Just a line of traffic behind you as a home
Speaker 3: is being dragged down the freeway, sparks, sparks everywhere.
Speaker 2: Corey asks why they're really on this trip. After a
Speaker 2: long pause, Sean says he'll tell him later when the
Speaker 2: time is ready.
Speaker 4: Why what, Because Corey would then.
Speaker 1: We're going to drop this like a bomb.
Speaker 2: And as the audience doesn't already.
Speaker 4: That's because we've seen it with Eric and Corey.
Speaker 6: We saw this, but.
Speaker 2: Size, will you at least tell me when we get
Speaker 2: to wherever it is, we don't know we're going. Sean nods, yes, you'll.
Speaker 3: Know by the giant yogurt cup. You'll know when it's
Speaker 3: sprinkle tire.
Speaker 1: Like the conflict, what is the engine of this?
Speaker 3: Like if Sean is leaving, he wants to say a
Speaker 3: good goodie and then he's going to disappear.
Speaker 1: We're not going to actually talk about that, so this
Speaker 1: scene is useless, Like just do it previously on pulling
Speaker 1: over in the side of the road and like don't
Speaker 1: have the bad green screen and crappy exposition and lack
Speaker 1: of like it's like, basically, Corey, we're going to have
Speaker 1: conflict in another scene or two, talk about it a conflict,
Speaker 1: but otherwise there's nothing wrong. Joke about our bandanas. That's
Speaker 1: that's the whole point of the scene.
Speaker 4: Like, so it's not yes, and it's yes later. That's
Speaker 4: the new the new game.
Speaker 2: So Corey decides to embrace the road tripping lifestyle, and
Speaker 2: he grabs a white bandana and ties it on his head,
Speaker 2: just like Sean. Sean gives him an apprehensive look, and
Speaker 2: Corey's concerned. What Sean explains, if one guy's wearing a bandana,
Speaker 2: it's cool. If two guys are, it's Thankfully, Corey catches
Speaker 2: his drift. I get it. The one bandana rule has
Speaker 2: been enforced. He removes the accessory and says he'll save
Speaker 2: it for another time. I did not pick up on
Speaker 2: a gay panic.
Speaker 1: Actually no, I mean I remembered the joke and thought
Speaker 1: that's what it was. So that's clearly what we were
Speaker 1: intent we have that. I was actually like, oh, this
Speaker 1: doesn't play like but I remembered it as a gay
Speaker 1: panic joke.
Speaker 2: That's so funny.
Speaker 4: I didn't think it is just douy.
Speaker 1: It was just like it we're just lame, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: On set, I think I must have asked the question,
Speaker 1: like what is this about?
Speaker 2: Right, Like if Jenson and I are getting ready to
Speaker 2: go out and then we come downstairs and we're both
Speaker 2: wearing leather jackets. I'm like, okay, but we can't both
Speaker 2: be leather jacket guy, Like one.
Speaker 1: Of us has to be read both ways. But I
Speaker 1: know that we intended it is against Okay, So.
Speaker 3: How often I'm curious, now, how often do you and
Speaker 3: Jensen come down both wearing the same type of jacket?
Speaker 3: And if you do, question B sub question, who's the
Speaker 3: one who changes more? You are Jensen?
Speaker 2: And why is it all come down Jensen? Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to change and kidding. I spent forever.
Speaker 2: I thought about this very long. This is no you're
Speaker 2: changing also because I have the anxiety around getting dressed
Speaker 2: and he doesn't. He can just go upstairs and change
Speaker 2: very quickly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Alex and I are becoming the same person, but
Speaker 1: we dressed the same thankful. I know it's ridiculous. It's
Speaker 1: like we clearly are just communicating each other's taste. So like, yes,
Speaker 1: often we walk out and I'm like, you're wearing that, Well,
Speaker 1: we were the exact same color. It's awful.
Speaker 2: We I've noticed that Jensen and I will a lot
Speaker 2: of times be coordinated in a good way where I'm
Speaker 2: like Oh good. The dress I'm wearing right now has
Speaker 2: a little bit of that burgundy in it, and you're
Speaker 2: wearing a vintage T shirt that's got a burgundy and
Speaker 2: a burgundy hat. And so we look like we planned this,
Speaker 2: but we didn't really, So that works. Yeah, we don't.
Speaker 2: And then in like our day to day style, like
Speaker 2: my daytime style is obviously very much fourteen year old
Speaker 2: skator boy, and then we sometimes look looks.
Speaker 4: Similar little similar.
Speaker 3: Okay, Sue just will come in and say why are
Speaker 3: you and my lululu and pants and sports bra right,
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, were you going to wear this?
Speaker 3: And so I just yeah, I just put on her clothes.
Speaker 2: Just that makes sense, and then she just can put
Speaker 2: on yours, and yeah, you're fine.
Speaker 1: Works fine.
Speaker 3: She's like, hey, it's a sweater from nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 3: fits me perfect.
Speaker 1: Moth holes. Another thing that bugs me about this episode, Oh,
Speaker 1: let's start. This is completely ripped from my life. Remember
Speaker 1: this is the one that I went on a road
Speaker 1: trip in ninety eight, the summer before this season. So
Speaker 1: they decided to make road tripping and they asked me
Speaker 1: for footage from my actual road shot to put into
Speaker 1: this episode.
Speaker 2: Or the next one you wrote to me about it.
Speaker 2: Hey sexy, Hey sexy.
Speaker 1: Oh god. But I would wear bandanas like. I wore
Speaker 1: bandannas because I was trying to I had. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to get recognized while I was on this road
Speaker 1: trip in ninety eight, So I would wear bandanas, and
Speaker 1: I had glasses. I got fake glasses like I went
Speaker 1: and got you know, like Harry Potter or whatever, like
Speaker 1: a look of even though they were because I didn't
Speaker 1: need glasses kent. I was Clark kenting it and putting
Speaker 1: a bandana on the cover of My Boy Meets World Hair.
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't get recognized on the road trip. And
Speaker 1: so because of that, like was my look when I
Speaker 1: came back, they decided to write a whole bandana thing.
Speaker 3: What girl band did you find on your regular trip?
Speaker 1: Ye? Good question.
Speaker 3: You never know. It could be a whole different girl band.
Speaker 1: How many girl bands were there?
Speaker 4: There's a decent amount in the nineties.
Speaker 3: You got what TLC, TLC Salt and Pepper was PRODWV,
Speaker 3: Destiny's Child.
Speaker 4: Wow, Nobody's Angel, Everybody's Escape Escape. Wow, there's a poll?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yikes where.
Speaker 2: A truck stop news set alert writer do you remember
Speaker 2: the set any any complaints.
Speaker 1: No, it's actually a wonderful set. It's outlined the way
Speaker 1: the depth of it. And likes it better than the
Speaker 1: one we had in season three. Yeah, this is The
Speaker 1: license plates are cool. The license plates are a good background, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, And like just the way it's utilizing all
Speaker 1: the different angles, like where they perform, Like, it's good.
Speaker 1: It's a really good set. And I remember sitting in
Speaker 1: there talking to mostly talking to Mickey and then hanging
Speaker 1: out with the girls. The girls were so yeah, they're
Speaker 1: really sweet and like I remember this week being really fun,
Speaker 1: very very sweet.
Speaker 2: So Corey and Sean arrive and now Corey is wearing
Speaker 2: the red bandana and Sean is bandana lists. Corey giddily
Speaker 2: announces to Sean, this is a real truck stop. Sean
Speaker 2: giggles back, we have a real truck, Corey adds, and
Speaker 2: we stopped here. Corey thinks he'll get to Panga a
Speaker 2: hat while they're here, and the boys take a seat
Speaker 2: at two nearby stools. Have either of you ever seen
Speaker 2: Topanga wear a hat? I'm just curious.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes I have. When she pulls it off of
Speaker 4: Corey's head in the very first episode, she does put.
Speaker 2: On her own hair right, the Phillies hat, and then
Speaker 2: she wears a beret for the fake.
Speaker 3: Fresh because you're French. That's friends.
Speaker 2: The other was never seen topanga and a hat. Just
Speaker 2: noticing that, Corey happily greets the waitress, Amy Sue. She
Speaker 2: smiles at the boys. She's never seen them here before.
Speaker 2: Cory grins, what do you think? Of course, of course
Speaker 2: she thinks they're cute. Is there a world where we
Speaker 2: believed that a woman would not spot Cory and I
Speaker 2: immediately talk about.
Speaker 1: How cute he is?
Speaker 2: Hey, that's you know, it wasn't even a threat.
Speaker 4: Yep, that's not nothing.
Speaker 2: Then she pulls out a pad and a pencil for
Speaker 2: their order. Corey decides on the world's Best hash Browns,
Speaker 2: while Sean quietly studies the menu. Corey pipes in his
Speaker 2: daddy died. A nearby truck driver gruffly suggests the chicken
Speaker 2: fried steak. Corey cautiously asks, what kind of animal is
Speaker 2: that from? The man repeats himself slowly, this time chicken
Speaker 2: fry steak. Corey nervously says he doesn't want any trouble,
Speaker 2: and Sean caves he'll have the chicken fried steak the trucker.
Speaker 2: Thanks Sean for listening.
Speaker 1: On the conflict here. What has happened?
Speaker 2: None, we've walked in and ordered food, correct, do you
Speaker 2: have there's no conflict at all whatsoever?
Speaker 1: No? No, oh, there's lunch.
Speaker 2: But even this whole setup premise that you two are
Speaker 2: like spot able to be pin pointed out. I've never
Speaker 2: seen you here before. Big city, men, big Philadelphia city.
Speaker 1: We're a couple of hours drive from Philly, and of
Speaker 1: course it's like redneck central, of course, and like it's
Speaker 1: so different, it's a whole different country. They don't they've
Speaker 1: never been to Philadelphia, like.
Speaker 2: Jerry Gordy or something like, what what is happening? It's
Speaker 2: so so weird.
Speaker 1: I think it was just like they didn't lean into
Speaker 1: Like I thought maybe the point was that we didn't
Speaker 1: fit in, but Sean is totally fine, and so like,
Speaker 1: why admit that Sean's his daddy died? Thing doesn't isn't
Speaker 1: motivated by meaning weird?
Speaker 4: I think it's just a joke, And then I think
Speaker 4: the conflict is going to belong to the girls.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's why they said special Saturday Morning Special,
Speaker 3: because it's not about Corey and Sean. It's about the girls, right.
Speaker 1: Which develops and like act too. So there's nothing happening.
Speaker 4: Yah, it's just like there's.
Speaker 1: Lunch talked about.
Speaker 3: Lunch, by the way, when it's delivered, I can tell instantly.
Speaker 3: Those are not the world's best hash browns. Oh was
Speaker 3: not grilled right, There was as top. There was no
Speaker 3: crunch going. Those were average shoe string potatoes that were
Speaker 3: not cooked properly.
Speaker 2: You know what. Couldn't even save those halapeno mustard from
Speaker 2: Deets and Watson. You couldn't even save them.
Speaker 3: Mustard is so good. That mustard is so good.
Speaker 4: I can't even forget.
Speaker 2: On our way to the kitchen, Amy Sue tells Sean
Speaker 2: she's sorry that his daddy died. Sean earnestly responds, thank you.
Speaker 2: I can tell you mean that. The truck driver asks
Speaker 2: Amy Sue for some gravy, and she bites back, you
Speaker 2: don't need it. Merle, Oh, definitely not the same character. Merle.
Speaker 3: Zekiel. Merle is not Ezekiel. They were brothers in a
Speaker 3: different life, right, That's a whole different story.
Speaker 2: Corey whispers to Sean that biker looks like the guy
Speaker 2: from ZZ Top and Merle just stares right at them.
Speaker 2: Then another cute waitress greets the boys and fills their
Speaker 2: coffee cups. Corey can't contain his excitement. I love this place.
Speaker 1: What it is?
Speaker 4: This is not a boy metrilled episode.
Speaker 1: It is not.
Speaker 4: It is a Saturday Morning special that.
Speaker 1: They we're just saying stuff because like one moment, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's going to be intimidated by the biker, but now
Speaker 1: he loves this place because there's is that supposed to
Speaker 1: be a turn?
Speaker 2: Like what is I know?
Speaker 3: Because the girls, it's not that it's it's because all
Speaker 3: every girl is cuter than the next.
Speaker 1: Is the point of the scene that like he's scared
Speaker 1: and wants to get out of there until he sees
Speaker 1: the girl and then it's not it's just the weirdest
Speaker 1: we're just way of.
Speaker 4: The scene, scared and.
Speaker 3: Scorny.
Speaker 4: He's very scorny right now. He is Corny Cory's corney.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: She asks the boys where they're from, and when Corey
Speaker 2: says Philadelphia, she admits she's always wanted to go there.
Speaker 1: He's three hours away. I mean it can't be more
Speaker 1: than three Pennsylvania. Three hours.
Speaker 4: The hell's going on always wanted to go to the
Speaker 4: big city.
Speaker 1: Like it's a classic. It's gone right back to that
Speaker 1: old boy world troph It's like the trailer park. You know,
Speaker 1: they're just complete. Oh my gosh, like everybody's every You leave.
Speaker 3: Philly and man Country forty minutes outside you're with Country Bumpkins.
Speaker 2: Corey responds, not really, I'm a cop.
Speaker 1: Why why is Cory Ryan? Piece is funny is also
Speaker 1: a reference to like the old Sean joke where Sean
Speaker 1: pretended to be a cop to the teacher. So like, no,
Speaker 1: I was like, where's where's this hat? Where's going? Is
Speaker 1: this going somewhere? Nope, Sean goes.
Speaker 2: He says Corey is in fact the chief of police.
Speaker 2: Corey then immediately following her, another pretty girl walks by
Speaker 2: carrying plates of food. She introduces herself as Stacy, and
Speaker 2: Corey points out this place is crawling with chicks. He
Speaker 2: gives a little wave to Stacy, who smiles back. Then
Speaker 2: another cute girl delivers their plates of food. The boys
Speaker 2: are blown away. She confidently tells Sean, you're searching for something.
Speaker 2: I can tell.
Speaker 1: Why.
Speaker 2: This has never nothing even remotely close to this has
Speaker 2: ever happened in a real life scenario ever, anywhere on
Speaker 2: the face of the earth. I can tell you, Hi,
Speaker 2: I'm Stacy. I can tell you're searching for something coffee?
Speaker 1: What this is? You know, when you look like a
Speaker 1: guy who's soulful and on a road trip because of death.
Speaker 2: It's like, thank you daddy, death.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, thank you so much, Stacy. Can you recook
Speaker 3: these hash browns? Because this ain't right?
Speaker 1: And then Corey talks like, she's not right there, right there,
Speaker 1: she's staring into your soul.
Speaker 3: Well, have you also seen I don't know if it
Speaker 3: was in this scene or a later scene, but there's
Speaker 3: an atmosphere actor in the background who's eating pie and
Speaker 3: just watching the show.
Speaker 4: It's the greatest thing I've ever seen. He's like, probably judging,
Speaker 4: he's just sitting there, stupid.
Speaker 1: I'll wait for the rewrites.
Speaker 2: Sean nods, yeah, I am. Then she just smiles and
Speaker 2: stares at him. Corey whispers, she's peering, Indie, your freaking soul,
Speaker 2: but the girl doesn't budge until Waitress number two walks
Speaker 2: by and whispers to her he's coming. Soul peering girl
Speaker 2: quickly leaves. A tough looking middle aged man with a
Speaker 2: flat top and a flat and flannel Mosy's on up
Speaker 2: to Corey and Sean eyeing them down like prey.
Speaker 1: Now, wouldn't it make sense that Sean would actually flirt
Speaker 1: with these girls?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: And wouldn't that increase the tension? Could create a conflict
Speaker 1: with this direct because as it is, Corey is engaged,
Speaker 1: he's not flirting or kind of jokingly flirts, but he's
Speaker 1: not serious. And Sean does nothing, nothing at all, just
Speaker 1: looks sad.
Speaker 2: Sean has the bner of death.
Speaker 1: That's all.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 4: That's just Sean. Did you say odor of death?
Speaker 3: Or no?
Speaker 2: He's not flirting?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Couldn't they have rewritten this or with like puts us
Speaker 1: in a compromising position. I say something to her, I
Speaker 1: ask her for her but I do you want to later?
Speaker 2: I do think that the exactly what I'm saying threw
Speaker 2: it all off. That the idea of Sean being in
Speaker 2: a mental place where he's able to be flirty with
Speaker 2: a girl changes the idea that he's on a soul
Speaker 2: search about his dead dad.
Speaker 3: So and then after Boner of Death, I heard nothing
Speaker 3: you said after Boner of Death, because that's all that's
Speaker 3: going through my head now.
Speaker 4: Is the merch that would be around the bone of death.
Speaker 4: Oh god.
Speaker 2: But so they had to put they had to put
Speaker 2: the idea of their being like chick in Corey's mouth
Speaker 2: because and yet none of there, just because they had
Speaker 2: to mention it.
Speaker 1: But then it's like scary, dad, It's like, really, no,
Speaker 1: I'm scared for what.
Speaker 2: We're not doing anything, I know, so, uh, Corey pleasantly
Speaker 2: greets them, Well, hello there, authentic grizzled old roadside diner man.
Speaker 2: The man points to Amy Sue. Do you see her?
Speaker 2: Corey grins, yes, I do, to which the man responds,
Speaker 2: that's Amy Sue, she's my daughter. Corey points out, you're
Speaker 2: a lucky man. The man continues, you see her, and
Speaker 2: he points to another waitress. Corey repeats, yes, I do,
Speaker 2: and the man reveals that's Sarah. She's my daughter too.
Speaker 2: Corey laughs he must have quite the gun collection. The
Speaker 2: man shows no sign of amusement. He points out Stacy next,
Speaker 2: and it's worth noting Stacy is black. Corey's interested. Let's
Speaker 2: see you explain that one no world where you could
Speaker 2: have adopted a child have a daughter. The man motions
Speaker 2: to Stacy and Ali his daughter's best friends. They're just
Speaker 2: like daughters to him. Watch yourself. He points to Sean,
Speaker 2: you look familiar, but Sean tells him he's never been
Speaker 2: there before. The owner counters, I didn't say you've been here.
Speaker 2: I just said you looked familiar, and he walks away,
Speaker 2: leaving both the boys quite stunned. Corey lets out an, oh, Betty.
Speaker 1: Why Betty. We just learned a lot of information. We
Speaker 1: walked in, ordered food.
Speaker 2: There is still no.
Speaker 1: We now know how these people are. Okay, thanks, Just
Speaker 1: in case you didn't get it, he's a grizzled old
Speaker 1: roadside owner. Just let's say it.
Speaker 2: Maybe Betty is the conflict and it's just off camera.
Speaker 1: God.
Speaker 3: I would never speak for him because I would have
Speaker 3: no idea, but I'll guarantee you this was not Matt
Speaker 3: Nelson's favorite script.
Speaker 4: I would be able to put money down.
Speaker 3: That's not that Nelson kind of this was a network
Speaker 3: note essentially, you need to get this band on, you
Speaker 3: need to lost up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Matt kind of was like, all right, here
Speaker 4: we go.
Speaker 2: If Matt had the if Matt could have had the
Speaker 2: free rein to do what we talked about. Where he
Speaker 2: is on a search and he stops at a place
Speaker 2: and there's a picture of Chet and it sparks something
Speaker 2: in Sean. Sean could get the idea on this road
Speaker 2: trip that is only supposed to be for a weekend,
Speaker 2: we could see Sean go no, I can't go back.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm going to retrace my father's steps. Who
Speaker 2: was when I wasn't around? And decided last episode exactly
Speaker 2: so Matt Nelson could have done a bang up job
Speaker 2: with given free rein with him, give.
Speaker 6: You a producer. Note that while I was researching, because
Speaker 6: I thought about that, this is definitely Matt Nelson's worst script. Yeah,
Speaker 6: season six is the most glaring moment that you're sliding
Speaker 6: in the Nielsen ratings because there is a weird I
Speaker 6: guess thought process out there that because you had more
Speaker 6: viewers in season six and seven that the ratings were better.
Speaker 6: But the truth is you were never lower on the
Speaker 6: Nielsen ratings than season six and seven, just more people
Speaker 6: were watching television, so like your numbers were up, but
Speaker 6: your placement was very, very down. So when you're talking
Speaker 6: about being on the bubble, six and seven is your
Speaker 6: most bubbly Well, no.
Speaker 3: That makes sense because season seven we were only picked
Speaker 3: up for thirteen. Originally we didn't can get our full
Speaker 3: twenty two when we didn't hear about our back nine
Speaker 3: until halfway through the season.
Speaker 1: So you are sliding.
Speaker 6: So when ABC and Disney and whoever is thinking about shows, well,
Speaker 6: boy meets World, let's get that band on Boy Me's World.
Speaker 6: It's almost like you're becoming an outlet for more synergy.
Speaker 3: Right, that makes sense?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Corey tells Sean to eat up because they have a
Speaker 2: lot of ground to cover in two days. That's when
Speaker 2: Sean finally comes clean, I'm not being fair to you.
Speaker 2: You should go home. Corey is confused, but Amy Sue interrupts,
Speaker 2: do you have to go home? Before we sing?
Speaker 1: Keep mart some information?
Speaker 4: Okay, you're just laughing. As she says there's no response
Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 2: Cory asks you girls got yourself a little band conting Corey,
Speaker 2: which is funny, Little Johnny Cats, you get a little
Speaker 2: backs your little coffee poorers. Hi Y' also sing yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Amy Sue and Sarah give each other a look before
Speaker 2: asking Corey how old are you? And Corey laughs, honey,
Speaker 2: I'm taking and he shows off his engagement ring. Amy
Speaker 2: Sue admits we don't get a lot of city guys around, Dear.
Speaker 6: Why not?
Speaker 1: This is it's a truck stop diner. It's all city
Speaker 1: people driving and stopping to eat. Like, what do you.
Speaker 2: We'd be interested to know what you think?
Speaker 5: What Cory and Shane, two teenagers in community college, stumble
Speaker 5: in here, and this is going.
Speaker 1: To hinge on our decision to approve them or not.
Speaker 3: Are we we have?
Speaker 2: Are we valuable?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: I mean, cow can tell you it's good before you've
Speaker 3: got to get outside influence.
Speaker 1: You're wearing a leather jacket. You must be from the city.
Speaker 2: Scary. It's scary there.
Speaker 1: While we have a whole backing track that's professionally produced
Speaker 1: for our original song, dance Moves and right, we never
Speaker 1: say nobody, no.
Speaker 2: No, just they just thought people were going to be like.
Speaker 4: What I hear that again? Whatever the nineties equivalent of googling?
Speaker 2: That is exactly what's shazam? I'm gonna invent shazam. Then
Speaker 2: Corey continues to be condescending. This will be cute. They
Speaker 2: want to hear what we think of their band. I
Speaker 2: hope they do that. Achy Breakie.
Speaker 3: Ben is still he's it's absurd, but it's he still
Speaker 3: makes me laugh because I mean, I know he's trying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but three seconds ago he was excited about the
Speaker 1: hot chicks who are like populating this place. Then he
Speaker 1: was scared of the dad. Now he's mocking them for
Speaker 1: being in events. Yeah, like who couldn't possibly be talented.
Speaker 1: It's like he's just there's no, there's nothing. And then
Speaker 1: Sewan is just there with his bone dad.
Speaker 3: What is called?
Speaker 1: Like Shawn has done nothing except like, oh, the guy
Speaker 1: recognized me, but I've never been here.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 4: But then we get to the best face in the
Speaker 4: history of television up right here.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's coming up in the next in the
Speaker 2: in the next scene at the truck stop. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: So Sean isn't really paying attention. He insists that Corey
Speaker 2: goes home. Corey doesn't get it, But what about you, Sean.
Speaker 2: Sean quickly changes the subject. I wonder if this band's
Speaker 2: any good.
Speaker 1: Avoid don't actually have any conflict?
Speaker 3: Yes later.
Speaker 6: It is later, No.
Speaker 4: Later, the worst improper No later.
Speaker 1: I have lots of deep feelings, but I'm not going
Speaker 1: to share them yet. That's the s Sean Hunter improv
Speaker 1: should That's a great bit. It is so funny.
Speaker 2: Then we're in the apartment.
Speaker 4: No, thank god, b story, this will kick it up.
Speaker 1: I know. That's why I was really hoping. I was like,
Speaker 1: because we last saw them there was a sexy kiss
Speaker 1: in the real conflict.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a great episode, so he won't go this
Speaker 3: is let's see, this will save it. This is the
Speaker 3: boner of life. There is what's going on in this scene.
Speaker 1: So yes, boner of orange juice. That's what we start with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jack's unloading groceries. As Rachel peers into their freezer.
Speaker 2: Jack awkwardly tries to sneak past her.
Speaker 1: And then they started talking and awkwardness.
Speaker 2: Refrigerator.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 2: But also, only one person needs to unload the groceries.
Speaker 2: We both do, we don't need one person, but it's
Speaker 2: a one.
Speaker 4: One person jobs.
Speaker 2: Just get out of there, put the bags down.
Speaker 1: And one of you to notice the bag. The cloth bag.
Speaker 1: I can't believe because Michael used to. But I guess
Speaker 1: maybe that was on girl that he railed against them
Speaker 1: because them on this it looks.
Speaker 4: And again this episode lobsters everywhere.
Speaker 2: I missed it again.
Speaker 1: Literally just on it because I'm watching the actors.
Speaker 3: To this story all at the same time. Uh, in
Speaker 3: the trailer park. Dede has just hidden it by literally
Speaker 3: just putting it on the stove. It's a white stove,
Speaker 3: and sitting hanging off the white stove is this giant
Speaker 3: red lobster just right there over your shoulder.
Speaker 2: Yep, it's great, Okay, I really I can't believe I
Speaker 2: haven't caught it once.
Speaker 4: That's insane to me.
Speaker 2: Finally, Rachel breaks the silence. They're gonna have to talk
Speaker 2: about this sometime. Jack's relieved. Oh good, I thought you
Speaker 2: were gonna want to talk about it now, She says,
Speaker 2: I do Jack's eyes I know, and Rachel tells him
Speaker 2: to go first. Jack starts when we were kissing, and
Speaker 2: Rachel quickly cuts him off. Just don't say anything stupid, okay,
Speaker 2: Jack continues, I was just keeping everything bottled up. Rachel
Speaker 2: interrupts him again, Just don't say that it didn't mean anything,
Speaker 2: because that would be hurtful. Jack admits, Oh no, it
Speaker 2: felt like it meant something, but then he quickly changes
Speaker 2: his tune. But maybe it didn't. He sits on the couch.
Speaker 2: He giggles, this is where they kissed. He explains, he
Speaker 2: was just in a really vulnerable place. That day. Rachel
Speaker 2: hesitantly agrees, right, maybe it was just a friend comforting
Speaker 2: a friend. Jack agrees, but he doesn't seem too convinced.
Speaker 2: Rachel shrugs that way, no one gets hurt. Jack nods,
Speaker 2: no reason to tell Eric. Rachel's eyes widen, No, that
Speaker 2: would be hurtful. Then on cue, Eric walks in carrying
Speaker 2: his laundry basket. He says hey and walks right past them,
Speaker 2: only to turn and casually break the news. Oh I
Speaker 2: saw you two kissing. Rachel and Jack stare at him
Speaker 2: in shock. Done done, done, And we've recapped what happened
Speaker 2: last episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he just recapped it. And he walked in on
Speaker 1: them and told them that he walked in on them,
Speaker 1: and now they know.
Speaker 3: Thing I got mostly from the scene was I knew
Speaker 3: it was bad, but I have horrible posture. I mean
Speaker 3: I have really really rounded, slumpy shoulders.
Speaker 1: It's like carrying a basket, right, You're not even Eric
Speaker 1: is sad.
Speaker 3: Well, No, but all the time I have bad posture. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: like I should I should be walking like this, but
Speaker 3: that feels uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: I do I have rounded shoulder syndrome. I do do RSS.
Speaker 4: I have technic technic.
Speaker 2: What is technic technic? It's how all of our like
Speaker 2: the the hump in the back of the neck and
Speaker 2: back of the shoulders that we get from looking at
Speaker 2: our phones all the time.
Speaker 1: Oh, technic, that's what I have death boner?
Speaker 3: You do you do.
Speaker 1: Technically?
Speaker 4: If you have death boner after four hours, I can
Speaker 4: tell the doctor.
Speaker 1: There are bills for that, right death. It happens that everybody.
Speaker 2: So then we're back at the truck stop. We're almost
Speaker 2: to our favorite writer face. The four girls have taken
Speaker 2: the stage and Amy Sue announces, we'd like to dedicate
Speaker 2: this song to our two wandering guests. You guys have
Speaker 2: been there for five minutes.
Speaker 1: Five minutes to talk about some stuff.
Speaker 4: But they're city folk.
Speaker 3: And apparently and our people trying to round the country
Speaker 3: trying to find you us so.
Speaker 2: And then the girl group Nobody's Angel lip sync their song.
Speaker 2: I can't help myself give them.
Speaker 1: Some instruments like make this. The point is that there's
Speaker 1: a band and they should be talented in like but
Speaker 1: the fact that they're like a polished dancery.
Speaker 2: What accompanied by synchronized dance moves and a very nineties
Speaker 2: pop track. Corey and Sean seem impressed as the girls
Speaker 2: eventually gave the song once to start.
Speaker 1: It by the way, did you oh yeah, because we
Speaker 1: had to do it a week there listening to it
Speaker 1: and I remembered it, it was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: remember this.
Speaker 2: Did they come with it already choreographed or was there
Speaker 2: a choreographer on set?
Speaker 1: Okay, now they came with it. They had their own choreographer,
Speaker 1: you know. So they just came and did their their thing.
Speaker 1: They did it every week, like all week and yeah,
Speaker 1: and I did some research.
Speaker 3: They were a band for three years, so they must
Speaker 3: have been relatively successful at the time.
Speaker 2: I would have imagined the girls eventually give them a
Speaker 2: little personalized performance. But then the diner owner walks up
Speaker 2: and they run back to the stage to finish the song.
Speaker 2: It's doing that part right where they get close to you.
Speaker 4: Oh it is it is you, the look on your face.
Speaker 2: I wish we could have to find a still of it.
Speaker 4: We will, We'll have to put it up because it is.
Speaker 3: It is combination dead inside, horribly embarrassed and questioning every
Speaker 3: decision you've ever made in your life.
Speaker 1: It is just accurate.
Speaker 3: Was kind of like sitting there.
Speaker 4: Like, what's happening in my life right now?
Speaker 2: I can't believe I have to do this. All I
Speaker 2: can see is you say. I can't believe it. I
Speaker 2: can't believe I.
Speaker 3: Have to do this.
Speaker 4: It's the best thing I've ever seen. It saved the
Speaker 4: whole episode for me, just that one shot, because.
Speaker 3: It was magic.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was in lay Miss, I was in La Miss.
Speaker 2: I once was in lay Miss.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was okay, worked to t Tommylee Jones was
Speaker 1: once an actor.
Speaker 2: The performance of what is very close, if not the
Speaker 2: entire song comes to a close, and patrons, including Corey
Speaker 2: and Sewan, give the girl group a rowdy round of applause.
Speaker 2: Nobody's Angel runs up to the boys, do you think
Speaker 2: we're any good? Corey is shocked. You were awesome. You
Speaker 2: shouldn't be here, dishing out hash browns. Stacey asks Sean,
Speaker 2: who she calls mystery boy, what he thinks. He chimes in,
Speaker 2: I agree with Officer Bob.
Speaker 1: Hysterical joke. It's a runner now, it's a runner that
Speaker 1: he's pretending to be a cop to what.
Speaker 2: Ali grins good, because we want you to help us
Speaker 2: leave this.
Speaker 1: Why do we help them leave? How could we possibly.
Speaker 3: The whole house you could obviously, okay, but like, wouldn't
Speaker 3: you find people who have money who might be.
Speaker 1: Able to like be a manager my father?
Speaker 2: How much money would it take? How many hashbreads to
Speaker 2: kill brothers?
Speaker 3: It's awful, this is I mean, that's why I said
Speaker 3: I'm not It's not even bad. It's just not a
Speaker 3: boy metroled episode.
Speaker 4: It's not why.
Speaker 1: And then it falls on Corey to make the decision
Speaker 1: to like what send them to college or to the
Speaker 1: big city. It doesn't make any why us?
Speaker 4: That's why?
Speaker 1: Okay? What if? What if instead of lying about being
Speaker 1: a cop, Corey lied about being a musician and writer,
Speaker 1: then then we would have a we have to keep
Speaker 1: a lie going because he would get caught by the.
Speaker 2: Dad, Barry Gordy exactly what if?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's so easy? Is Corey just thought it.
Speaker 1: He's like, we're on the road, we should When that
Speaker 1: was the beginning of the scene of the walking in,
Speaker 1: It's like, let's pretend to be other people walking on
Speaker 1: the Jones, yes, and we make a joke, and then
Speaker 1: we can't tell the truth because the dad would actually,
Speaker 1: you know, kill us, and then we're stuck in a
Speaker 1: lie and we have to play it out. Jinks and Sue,
Speaker 1: come on, we just fixed it.
Speaker 4: He saved all the hijinks for the B story.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna kiss, and then they're gonna kiss. They do,
Speaker 1: they do? They express their feelings. I mean the next scene,
Speaker 1: you guys literally just trot out the potential problems and
Speaker 1: and you say there's no problem. So it's like anti
Speaker 1: story alert. Sorry, no later. And then they repeat the
Speaker 1: thing where we can't kiss but we're gonna kiss.
Speaker 3: It's like.
Speaker 1: It's ecstatic episode.
Speaker 2: Corey wonders what's stopping them in Unison. They all look
Speaker 2: at the grizzly dad owner. He thinks the city's a
Speaker 2: dangerous place and something terrible's gonna happen to us. Amy
Speaker 2: Sue begs them, can you talk to him for us?
Speaker 1: Why you can't tell your ow dads. You're gonna get
Speaker 1: the stranger who's a music college kid. Maybe I don't
Speaker 1: know what this did.
Speaker 2: You gotta deal with a dad made it clear he
Speaker 2: doesn't like you.
Speaker 1: Hey, stranger, I could tell with your owner of dad,
Speaker 1: you could take care of this blog. And it's Corey
Speaker 1: not me.
Speaker 2: Why because he's never met a man from Philadelphia. You're
Speaker 2: gonna tell him.
Speaker 4: Your city folk. That answers everything.
Speaker 2: Never been to the Philadelphia, Corey nods, yeah, it's just
Speaker 2: that he's very large, and I got to get my
Speaker 2: friend here back home. He stands to leave, in motions
Speaker 2: for Sean to join him, but Sean says he's not
Speaker 2: going home. Corey doesn't know why he keeps saying that,
Speaker 2: and Sean explains, because you're not hearing it. That's what
Speaker 2: I needed to tell you.
Speaker 1: So wait, have I said that I'm not going home yet?
Speaker 1: I thought I have and drop that bomb.
Speaker 2: Yet I also agree that you had not said that yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say I'll tell you later, and you say
Speaker 1: you should go.
Speaker 2: Home, and he does point out why only me?
Speaker 1: What about you?
Speaker 2: And you change the subject, so I think so.
Speaker 1: Then he says, why you keep saying that I actually
Speaker 1: haven't said him staying I.
Speaker 2: Think he just meant. He's picked up on the subtext,
Speaker 2: and and he's understood it every time, even every time
Speaker 2: you've no latered him, He's picked up on it.
Speaker 3: There's subtext galore in this episode, so all the funny
Speaker 3: subjects pick it up exactly.
Speaker 1: It only makes sense in the subjects.
Speaker 4: It's the only episode ever done that's only subtext.
Speaker 1: Because the text is so bad.
Speaker 2: Cory sarcastically says goodbye and shakes Sean's hand. He starts
Speaker 2: to walk away, but Sean doesn't move. Life changes, you know,
Speaker 2: people go separate ways. Corey asks if he's breaking up
Speaker 2: with him in a public place, so we won't make
Speaker 2: a scene, He tests, Sean, you don't think i'll make
Speaker 2: a scene? Sean laughs, no, I know you'll make a scene,
Speaker 2: but I'm not going home. Cory asks when are you
Speaker 2: going to go back then, and Shawn shrugs maybe never.
Speaker 2: Corey raises his voice as Sean pays the bill at
Speaker 2: the register. Just because things are not going perfectly in
Speaker 2: your life does not mean that you tear everything up
Speaker 2: and end up and who knows where? And I didn't
Speaker 2: think why is Corey letting Sean pay for this? Corey
Speaker 2: should definitely buy this meal? You think, yeah, anyway?
Speaker 6: Bothered me?
Speaker 2: Seawan's half listening. Then he points to a picture behind
Speaker 2: Sarah and he asks to see it. Corey's whining behind him.
Speaker 1: Do you hear me?
Speaker 2: What do you think you're gonna find? Sean stares at
Speaker 2: the picture and grins. He shows Corey, it's a picture
Speaker 2: of Chet and the owner of the restaurant. Corey admits, Okay,
Speaker 2: now it just got interesting, and I thought it's about
Speaker 2: freaking time. This could be great if this is the
Speaker 2: thing that kick starts whatever it is that Shawn ends
Speaker 2: up wanting to do.
Speaker 1: But Shawn's already decided.
Speaker 2: He's not going, already decided.
Speaker 1: This is just more decision, yet more of the same.
Speaker 2: See, I guess validation for your right, Yeah, it's validation.
Speaker 2: All right. We're back at the truck stop. Sean's staring
Speaker 2: at the picture, surrounded by Corey and nobody's angel. Stacey
Speaker 2: asks you know that guy, and Sean laughs kinda, he's
Speaker 2: my father. Sarah asks, that's your father.
Speaker 3: We've established this, yeah, because I said that's my father.
Speaker 1: And don't I say the exact same line I said
Speaker 1: in the last episode where I go kind of know
Speaker 1: him or.
Speaker 2: Kind of home. Yes, he's my dad. Tic yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Corey protests, No, don't call him over.
Speaker 4: He hates me.
Speaker 2: Grizzly Dad asks the girls if Corey's bothering them, and
Speaker 2: Corey responds, deadpan, I just stopped here for lunch. Sarah
Speaker 2: excitedly reveals this is Chet Hunter's son. The owner grins,
Speaker 2: of course he is. I knew you looked familiar. Chet's
Speaker 2: been showing us pictures of you for I don't know
Speaker 2: how long. Sarah bashfully admits, I like the one where
Speaker 2: you're getting a bath in the sink.
Speaker 1: Yeah you do.
Speaker 2: The owner shakes his hand. You're Sean. How's medical school going?
Speaker 2: Seawan clarifies, Actually, it's just college. The man laughs. Ched
Speaker 2: always tells a good story. Then he turns to Corey,
Speaker 2: and you're Corey. You're the kid Shawn's always getting out
Speaker 2: of them scrapes. Corey starts to actually the guy, but
Speaker 2: Sean cuts him off.
Speaker 1: I do like this idea of like, yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 1: could have been an extended bit about all the like
Speaker 1: the lies that Chet told that we have to like
Speaker 1: break down and figure out what was going on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, shame, shame you hurts your knee and couldn't
Speaker 3: become an astronaut.
Speaker 2: Like that's the episode I want to watch, Yes, the
Speaker 2: episode of Sean uncovering his father's life exactly. Yep, that's
Speaker 2: the one I want. Sean cuts him off. How come
Speaker 2: there's a picture of my dad and this truck stop?
Speaker 2: The man laughs, Chet wouldn't drive his Ray between Pennsylvania
Speaker 2: and Ohio without stopping here and telling us some of
Speaker 2: his latest adventures. Right, So he was a truck driver apparently,
Speaker 2: unless they're calling the mobile home array. We never No,
Speaker 2: we never established that, but we did establish that he
Speaker 2: dealt cards. Right, he got an offer for the Vegas thing,
Speaker 2: So I think I j is.
Speaker 1: Not really an odd job. That's consistent, correct, So it
Speaker 1: seems weird that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the truck driver from earlier agrees that's right. He
Speaker 2: also said that Sean was perfect for one of your daughters.
Speaker 2: As I recall, the owner frowns. I don't recall that
Speaker 2: the trucker stands by his words. I recall that Sean
Speaker 2: wonders which one in the girl's grin in Sarah's direction,
Speaker 2: she admits it was me. Sean can't help but rizz
Speaker 2: her up in response, Well, that always did have good taste.
Speaker 1: What is the point of this? So now I'm flirting?
Speaker 2: Yes, now you could be interested, and it's all just
Speaker 2: further it's it's just fear for great Now there's a
Speaker 2: grin and be interested and he likes it. Here's how
Speaker 2: am I ever going to get him out of this?
Speaker 2: I need to get him home the same way it
Speaker 2: happened for Eric in his episode.
Speaker 1: But why does he need to get me home? Why
Speaker 1: does Corey?
Speaker 2: Because the universe says this show is going to go
Speaker 2: for seven seas since.
Speaker 4: He has no argument, Like all, he wants to finish college.
Speaker 3: He says it when you're wrestling, He's like, you got it.
Speaker 3: Why you gotta go home and finish school and don't
Speaker 3: throw away your life?
Speaker 1: Like yeah, it would actually be easy to just say
Speaker 1: we have classes on Monday and test due and like
Speaker 1: Poene's expecting you, you can't bail.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because right now, I don't really.
Speaker 1: Feel the conflict other than like, oh, Sean might leave
Speaker 1: the show, right you don't want as a viewer. But
Speaker 1: otherwise it's not really clear, like Sean, go, yeah, take
Speaker 1: a trip, man.
Speaker 2: Corey throws his arms in the air. Now he's never
Speaker 2: coming home. The owner wonders, so what's your daddy up to?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: Sean's excitement ends, Corey, none of these people know. The
Speaker 2: man questions know what. Sean tries to find the right words.
Speaker 2: I hate to tell you this, but my dad died
Speaker 2: last week.
Speaker 3: Sean.
Speaker 1: Also, how would they know?
Speaker 3: It's been a week and we're at a random truck stop,
Speaker 3: which we've already established is on the moon essentially, so
Speaker 3: how would.
Speaker 1: They have found out?
Speaker 2: I do think that's just one of those things where
Speaker 2: when you know everyone in Sean's life back home does know,
Speaker 2: and yeah, it's a weird feeling when someone you someone
Speaker 2: you love and are very close to dies and the
Speaker 2: rest of the world just goes on and you're like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and like so I kind of like that moment where
Speaker 2: he's like, I have if I go on this trip,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to tell all these people. The diner
Speaker 2: goes quiet. Finally, the trucker speaks up, so who shot him?
Speaker 2: Everyone bursts into laughter, and Sean wonders, is it okay
Speaker 2: that people are laughing? The owner nods, of course, it's okay.
Speaker 2: Just thinking about that ugly son of a gun's face
Speaker 2: is enough to make you laugh. They break out into
Speaker 2: laughter again, and this time Sean joins them. He asks,
Speaker 2: let me.
Speaker 1: Talk out my feelings. Is it okay to that laughing?
Speaker 1: Who ever asked that question? Now you feel insecure about it?
Speaker 6: Or do it?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Is it okay that I'm doing this? The owners lend
Speaker 2: some words of wisdom. Your father died, Sean, but he
Speaker 2: ain't gone. When someone you love leaves you, they're never gone.
Speaker 2: He taps his head. They stay right here. Sean wonders,
Speaker 2: how well did you guys know my dad? The man
Speaker 2: admits pretty well. He was always running from something. He
Speaker 2: had that way about him. Amy Sue chimes in, I
Speaker 2: always thought he was running for something. Again in list
Speaker 2: of conversations that have just never happened, this.
Speaker 1: Is up there.
Speaker 4: I thought that she meant like he was training for
Speaker 4: a marathon or something like that. Run for something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Sean asks for what, and she answers you.
Speaker 2: The owner agrees you were all he talked about. Kid.
Speaker 2: Your father wanted to be perfect for you, and this
Speaker 2: is nice. I think this would be something that would
Speaker 2: mean something to Sean to hear from these people who
Speaker 2: knew his dad. Boy, he loved you. Sean's eye, well,
Speaker 2: he would have been perfect if he would have just
Speaker 2: in there for me. Sean brings over a tray with
Speaker 2: a beer in two sodas. The man grabs the beer
Speaker 2: and Sean takes a soda. Though Chet isn't here, he
Speaker 2: deserves a toast. Sean nods in agreement, but admits he's
Speaker 2: horrible at these things, so he asks Corey to say something,
Speaker 2: but he won't. He's mad at Sean. The audience laughs,
Speaker 2: and Shawn asks, are you mad at him?
Speaker 1: Sean is horrible. He's a poet, right, who gives a
Speaker 1: toast at the wedding, Right who also was chosen to
Speaker 1: give the speech.
Speaker 2: Yes, so why he was valedictorian.
Speaker 1: Is very good at speech. I mean it seems like he's.
Speaker 3: Actually really good at starting speeches and then storming off stage.
Speaker 3: That's what happened, right forte.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Shawn asks, are you mad at him? In
Speaker 2: reference to chet Corey admits no, and he raises his
Speaker 2: soda bottle. Chet Hunter was not a saint, but he
Speaker 2: loved Sean as much as he possibly could. And even
Speaker 2: if he wasn't always around to show it, we all
Speaker 2: know he wanted to be and I'm sure if he could,
Speaker 2: he'd be here with you right now. I believe that.
Speaker 2: Sean smiles and agrees. Corey announces to chet Hunter Shawn's father.
Speaker 2: Everyone raises their glass. Here here, Sean repeats to chet Hunter,
Speaker 2: my father, now, question for you, do you think? Sean,
Speaker 2: at this point believes the last sentiment Chet had said
Speaker 2: in the hospital bed, which is I need you too, son.
Speaker 2: Do we think that both Corey and Sean do think
Speaker 2: that had Chet made it out of the hospital that time,
Speaker 2: he really would have stayed.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think so too. At least there's a hope
Speaker 3: there that that's what would have happened. That was Sean's
Speaker 3: entire life, though, was his father giving and getting his
Speaker 3: hopes up and then disappointing him. So at least he
Speaker 3: ended hopeful as opposed to disappoint it.
Speaker 2: All right, we're back in the apartment for a rousing
Speaker 2: Bee story. Rachel and Jack stare at Eric, who's in
Speaker 2: the kitchen drinking milk from the carton. Rachel admits, I'm
Speaker 2: really glad we're talking about this. Jack ads, see, we
Speaker 2: didn't want to tell you because we thought it would
Speaker 2: make it all weird between us. Eric's eyes, you know,
Speaker 2: when I saw you guys kissing, it bothered me, and
Speaker 2: I didn't know why. I didn't know if I was
Speaker 2: jealous or I felt betrayed or Rachel interjects, you know
Speaker 2: what I think it was. I think that Jack just
Speaker 2: really needed a friend, and I tried to be that
Speaker 2: for him. Eric assures her well, you're a really good friend.
Speaker 2: Jack chimes in, you saw me, Eric, I was in
Speaker 2: a dark place, Rachel admits, and, come to think of it,
Speaker 2: I may have gone a little too far. Jack ads
Speaker 2: maybe I did too. Eric questions, really, so you all
Speaker 2: just went too far. Rachel and Jack say yeah. So
Speaker 2: Eric repeats yeah, and then he asks, so then we're
Speaker 2: still three friends. Rachel tells him, no, better friends than
Speaker 2: we ever have been. Eric nods, yeah, you know something,
Speaker 2: This talking thing feels really good. We shouldn't be able
Speaker 2: to talk about stuff when they just go too far.
Speaker 2: Rachel and Jack say yeah. Wants more and Eric agrees yeah.
Speaker 2: He ends the conversation. He has some stuff in the dryer,
Speaker 2: so he's going to go and now left alone, Jack
Speaker 2: admits Eric's a stud. That's good. That's really good. Rachel agrees, yeah,
Speaker 2: I really respect that when somebody can just come out
Speaker 2: and say how they're feeling. No games. Jack turns to her,
Speaker 2: I want to kiss you. She responds, I want to
Speaker 2: kiss you too, Jack, and then they fall into the
Speaker 2: couch making out.
Speaker 1: Not as good a kiss where are the other episode?
Speaker 2: But not a kiss as the life, not as good
Speaker 2: of a kid, I think one of the things that
Speaker 2: ruined the B story for me is that it's so
Speaker 2: very obvious from the very beginning of this episode with
Speaker 2: them behaving awkwardly in the kitchen that they do like
Speaker 2: each other and want to be in a relationship if
Speaker 2: there wasn't any awkwardness between them, and both of them
Speaker 2: were like, by the way, I have to talk to
Speaker 2: you about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, me too, And we actually
Speaker 2: were like, oh, that's a bummer because it looked kind
Speaker 2: of hot, like and I thought there was really something
Speaker 2: between them, but they are both for acting as though
Speaker 2: for sure they don't want this. They have this conversation
Speaker 2: with Eric, we actually believe all of it, and then
Speaker 2: and then the turn, and then the turn or you
Speaker 2: have Eric come in and say I think you guys
Speaker 2: should be together. Just go for it, and then they're like, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: we really don't want to. Exactually have a conflict with Eric,
Speaker 2: and then they insist, and then Eric says, okay, I
Speaker 2: just wanted you to know it's okay with.
Speaker 1: Me, and then.
Speaker 3: They lied to and then they keep Because I think
Speaker 3: we do a couple of episodes now where everything is
Speaker 3: like done secretive secret.
Speaker 1: They could have just gotten too that secretive. It really
Speaker 1: like our show just decided to tread water for a
Speaker 1: whole episode. It's like, let's not change anything. Let's just
Speaker 1: hint to change and get these this girl band in here.
Speaker 2: Right, let's put the show on hold. Basically, that's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 3: That's why this is not an episode of Woman's World.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, Well, then we're back into Chet's trailer.
Speaker 2: Seawan is setting up the pull out bed.
Speaker 1: Until scoring ran exploded. I was like, that's the trailer
Speaker 1: if we actually moved their house, how are we supposed
Speaker 1: to believe this putting down the bed. Wasn't there a
Speaker 1: back bedroom?
Speaker 4: Yes, but that's where you would be.
Speaker 1: But they had to they had to get rid of
Speaker 1: the hallway that was back there because the trailer would
Speaker 1: have been and when we saw the trailer in previous episodes,
Speaker 1: our previous seasons, there was a back hallway to other
Speaker 1: rooms that they then have to like wall off and
Speaker 1: act like they don't exist.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there, So that area that were you there's
Speaker 2: not even there anymore because it has trailer. Oh god, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right.
Speaker 3: Maybe you just left the bedrooms back at the trailer,
Speaker 3: yea of the living room and dining room with you.
Speaker 2: Sean is setting up the pull out bed as he tells,
Speaker 2: I'm on a journey, so I've got to stay on
Speaker 2: this journey. Corey mocks him. Oh, you're on a journey.
Speaker 2: It was a two day trip. Now it's a journey.
Speaker 2: Soon it will be a voyage. That's so funny. Sean insists,
Speaker 2: I'm looking for something. Okay, I'm not going to be
Speaker 2: able to find it at home, and I'm not going
Speaker 2: to be able to find it with you. Corey shouts,
Speaker 2: then why am I on this trip? Why did you
Speaker 2: bring me in the first place. Sean tells him so
Speaker 2: I could get your blessing because I wanted to say goodbye.
Speaker 2: Corey shakes his head in disgust. You are sick, sir.
Speaker 2: So this was a fling. I feel cheap. He demands
Speaker 2: Sean give him the keys, but Sean jumps back. He
Speaker 2: wants to spend the night in the trailer, but Corey
Speaker 2: argues he wants to turn this trailer around and go home.
Speaker 2: The boys start to squabble, and Corey threatens to tell
Speaker 2: Feene while they wrestle. Sean says he needs to hear
Speaker 2: that everything's going to be okay and he's making the
Speaker 2: right decision. Corey flings him backwards. You want my help,
Speaker 2: go home, finish college and work on your papal skills.
Speaker 2: Still sparring, Sean suggests we're going to sleep on it.
Speaker 2: They both land on the floor, still fighting, when there's
Speaker 2: an knock at the door. Amy Sue just walks right in.
Speaker 2: We need your advice. Corey looks at Sean, perhaps we
Speaker 2: should get up. The rest of the girls walk in,
Speaker 2: and Ali explains, we want to see if we can
Speaker 2: make it somewhere other than here. Stacy adds their father
Speaker 2: will never let that.
Speaker 1: Happen, and you have to make this decision.
Speaker 2: Phil Spector and Quincy Jonesincy Jones to figure this out,
Speaker 2: but Sarah's mind is made up. It doesn't matter. I'm
Speaker 2: not leaving. Amy, Sue and I are all Dad has Amy.
Speaker 2: Sue argues, we can't stay here for the rest of
Speaker 2: our lives. Stacey asks the boys, look, this is a
Speaker 2: big decision. Could you tell us what you really think?
Speaker 2: Corey responds, no, I can't because I don't know you. Finally,
Speaker 2: I don't want to. I'm not gonna you can't make me,
Speaker 2: which is what they should have said about this episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Amy, Sue stares at him, and Corey immediately gives
Speaker 2: in You girls are better than every band I've heard
Speaker 2: in college. I mean, you have a real shot out there,
Speaker 2: and even if things don't work out, you'll never know
Speaker 2: what your lives are gonna be like if you don't
Speaker 2: see what else is out there. So talk to your father.
Speaker 2: He'll understand. He seems like a very understanding guy. And
Speaker 2: then he's behind me.
Speaker 1: Couldn't he say something that's actually scary? Tostead the understanding guy.
Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. That's not like the beat is there,
Speaker 1: but the line is completely wrong. It should be totally
Speaker 1: Your dad's not very bright. The reality is he's not
Speaker 1: going to really get this.
Speaker 2: He's kind of a he's gonna want to hold you back,
Speaker 2: but that's because it's totally selfish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just whatever.
Speaker 2: Just their dad walks into the trailer and Corey turns
Speaker 2: around and screams at the sight of the menacing man.
Speaker 2: The man asks, why are you in here with my daughters?
Speaker 2: Corey gaslights him, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not what this isn't cake? This isn't Corey, this
Speaker 1: is cake exactly. That would have been a great callback.
Speaker 2: I just jumped in and said that this is the
Speaker 2: cake because he's Corey is his cake. Corey thinks we're good.
Speaker 2: He thinks we should take a chance and leave. Corey
Speaker 2: denies everything. She's a liar. The man questions, why do
Speaker 2: you want my girls to leave me? Corey explains, I don't,
Speaker 2: It's just he places a hand on the scary man.
Speaker 2: There comes a time in every man's life, Bill, He
Speaker 2: stops himself. You don't want me to touch you, do you?
Speaker 2: Bill threatens, why don't you keep doing it and see
Speaker 2: what happens? Pulling his hand off Bill, Corey continues, there
Speaker 2: comes a time in every man's life where he has
Speaker 2: to let go of the people he loves and let
Speaker 2: them find their own way. Sean laughs at the obvious hypocrisy,
Speaker 2: and Corey yells, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking
Speaker 2: about them. Corey notices Bill's threatening look and backtracks, I'm
Speaker 2: not talking about them, I'm talking about me. I want
Speaker 2: to go home. He tries to leave the trailer, but
Speaker 2: Bill stops him. Hold on, little man, Corey curses, I
Speaker 2: was almost out the door. Sarah assures her dad they'll
Speaker 2: stay here. He needs help running the place and he
Speaker 2: needs them, so they'll stay. Bill takes a deep breath. Girls,
Speaker 2: you're fired. They look at each other and smile. Amy
Speaker 2: Sue thanks her dad. Sarah assures him they'll make him proud.
Speaker 2: He tells them he's already proud. And the whole time,
Speaker 2: I'm going, why does anyone watching care at all about
Speaker 2: this story? About it?
Speaker 3: But you're assuming people are watching at this point because
Speaker 3: of the thing, and I think.
Speaker 4: That's a sumption.
Speaker 3: We've got a really yah wish. Yikes.
Speaker 4: It almost seemed like, you know what this seemed like
Speaker 4: to me?
Speaker 3: This seemed like they were working as hard as they
Speaker 3: could to spin off an entire new show for these girls. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and yes, they're their foray into Okay, this episode's going
Speaker 3: to be about you, because this is essentially your backdoor pilot,
Speaker 3: and we're gonna then get you on the road and
Speaker 3: then it's the all girl band TV show. God, that's
Speaker 3: what it seemed like to me.
Speaker 2: He turns to Corey and announces, if anything should happen
Speaker 2: to them, I'll hunt you down like a dog.
Speaker 1: What why?
Speaker 3: Why is this on me?
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with him.
Speaker 1: He encourages them necessarily other than saying they're talented.
Speaker 2: No, Corey gives him a big fake grin. Then we'll
Speaker 2: see each other again soon. Amy Sue asks Bill if
Speaker 2: he's going to be okay without them, and he reminds her,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be without you. You're always right here,
Speaker 2: and he taps his head again. Corey then walks over
Speaker 2: to Sean. You're fired. Sean asks from what, and Corey explains,
Speaker 2: from me, I don't know what you're looking for, but
Speaker 2: I guess you need to go away for a while
Speaker 2: to find it. Sean grins, Are you sure, daddy? Corey
Speaker 2: turns to Bill. We sure, Bill. Bill gives him a nod.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid so, kid. Corey tells Sean, if you ever
Speaker 2: need anything, or you ever need my help, Sean cuts
Speaker 2: him off.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Corey turns back to Bill once it's so hard to
Speaker 2: let him go. Bill agrees as he holds the girl's club.
Speaker 2: Corey reaches into his pocket and hands Sean the red bandana.
Speaker 2: He tells Sean to take care of himself, and then
Speaker 2: we get the one great scene in the episode. The
Speaker 2: next day, Shawn is back and the red bandana and
Speaker 2: the leather jacket. Situating himself into the truck, he sits
Speaker 2: at the steering wheel and he lets out a big sigh.
Speaker 2: Then we hear Chet's voice he gonna crank it up
Speaker 2: or what. Sean's stunned to see his dad in the
Speaker 2: passenger seat, but Chet just laughs, Bet you didn't expect
Speaker 2: to see me han Son. Sean asks what he's doing there,
Speaker 2: and Chet explains, you're looking for something. I thought i'd
Speaker 2: try and help you find it. Sean admits, that's very
Speaker 2: cool of you. Chet boasts I was always a cool guy.
Speaker 2: Sean laughs, then lovingly admits I miss you. Chet nods
Speaker 2: I know, but remember I'm always right here, and he
Speaker 2: taps Sean's head. Sean smiles, but when he faces forward
Speaker 2: to turn on the car, we see Chet is no
Speaker 2: longer there, but Sean is setting off for his adventure. Also,
Speaker 2: Sean could be on mushrooms.
Speaker 3: That's possible, but it's a great scene. It's a great
Speaker 3: scene or great mushrooms, either one.
Speaker 2: One of the two. Either way.
Speaker 1: The second chets on screen, it's like it's maragic. He's
Speaker 1: just got so much charisma, it's so much energy.
Speaker 4: And the two of you work together and it's just great.
