Speaker 1: So it's taken a while, but my bathroom, your back
Speaker 1: cave is finished.
Speaker 2: The bath cave is bath cave, the bath cave, the
Speaker 2: bath cave is done.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 4: Are you so happy?
Speaker 2: I'm so happy.
Speaker 3: And have you been reading in the shower?
Speaker 1: No, I have not been reading in the shower at all.
Speaker 1: Strangely enough, i've ever met a reading that's where you
Speaker 1: should read.
Speaker 2: It's like reading in a womb.
Speaker 1: It's warm and cozy and wonderful. And I will get
Speaker 1: back to reading in the shower, but for now, I'm
Speaker 1: just getting used to my my bath cave.
Speaker 2: And one of the things I have.
Speaker 1: And I'll post a picture, is so there was this
Speaker 1: useless kind of little closet thing that I've opened up
Speaker 1: and made a much bigger kind of closet area, and
Speaker 1: I have some Batman stuff up there. And so two
Speaker 1: of the things I have are this bat signal that
Speaker 1: you gave me, and then above that is the bat.
Speaker 2: Shoes the sneakers that you gave me.
Speaker 1: And so it looks super cool and it's exactly when
Speaker 1: I asked the guy what kind of tie, he said, well,
Speaker 1: what kind of towels you want? I said, imagine Batman
Speaker 1: comes back from just fighting everybody in Gotham and he's
Speaker 1: covered in blood.
Speaker 2: What bathroom does Bruce Wayne walk into?
Speaker 1: So that's the bathroom that I had designed, and I'm
Speaker 1: pretty happy, pretty happy.
Speaker 2: So it's like it's a cool.
Speaker 1: Gray brick all along the side. You have to take
Speaker 1: an elevator down.
Speaker 3: Sick. I wish he.
Speaker 4: Has a that comes out and removes his back.
Speaker 2: Okay, it gets even better because I then put up
Speaker 2: a hook and I went online and I found the
Speaker 2: most Bruce Wayne robe I could find. It's this long,
Speaker 2: black cape kind of thing with this sick hood that
Speaker 2: comes out.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: Ants.
Speaker 5: I'm at my parents' house right now and I'm in

Speaker 5: Okay, baby, he gave us no. But the Christmas gift

Speaker 1: something I think it was kimpossible something like that, and
Speaker 1: this little package arrived and I was like, oh, that sweet,

Speaker 2: I forgot about it, and like a year later I
Speaker 2: opened it. It was a video iPod.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I should have opened this a
Speaker 2: long time ago.

Speaker 4: Be True, air date April ninth, nineteen ninety nine. The synopsis.
Speaker 4: When mister Feene finally musters up the courage to ask
Speaker 4: Dean Bolander out, a surprise arrives in the form of
Speaker 4: her ex, Curtis Kincaid, so Eric convinces Corey and Sean
Speaker 4: to evoke their old bad boy college selves to keep
Speaker 4: Foene's hopes alive. It was directed by mister Mickey Dolans,
Speaker 4: the Drummer and the Monkies, Yes, the drummer and lead
Speaker 4: singer of the legendary Monkeys, a pop group forever link

Speaker 1: Oh showed up the night of the of the sh
Speaker 1: Oh and said Okay, I'll be in it, and they went,
Speaker 1: that's not how that works, Mike.
Speaker 2: We've been rehearsing all week.
Speaker 1: This sounds the story. This is okay, this is this
Speaker 1: is a Sherman story.
Speaker 2: He's the one who brought him all.
Speaker 3: Well, there you go.
Speaker 1: Okay, he's the one who he's Mickey Dolan's best friend.
Speaker 3: If it's a good Hollywood story.
Speaker 1: Oh, I saw I saw him. He was one hundred
Speaker 1: percent there with his big, bushy beard. So he was
Speaker 1: definitely there that I can that I can attest to.
Speaker 1: But I mean, that's the story we heard, is that
Speaker 1: he was like, I want to be on the show,
Speaker 1: and they were kind of like, you can't.
Speaker 4: You can't do that now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The Monkeys were put together by NBC to play a
Speaker 4: fictional group for a scripted comedy, but became a real
Speaker 4: life chart topping band with songs like I'm a Believer,
Speaker 4: Last Train to Clarksville and Daydream Believer, great song, Why
Speaker 4: so many Believers?
Speaker 2: They believe in a lot of things. The Monkeys, I
Speaker 2: do really worked for them. Yeah.
Speaker 4: This was the only episode of Boy Meets World he directed,
Speaker 4: and he is now the last surviving member of the Monkeys.
Speaker 4: It was written by David Brownfield. And before I jump
Speaker 4: into our guest stars, anyone want to share their overall thoughts.
Speaker 5: All right, what did you guys think when you realized
Speaker 5: which episode this was? When you because like I saw
Speaker 5: the title be True, I was like, what is that?
Speaker 3: And then it started.
Speaker 5: I was like, this is the be episode that Mickey directed.
Speaker 5: And then I was like, this one's awful. This is
Speaker 5: a disaster. Everything about this is gonna suck. Oh my god,
Speaker 5: I can't believe I have to watch this. And then
Speaker 5: I was so pleasantly surprised. Yi, this is a great episode,
Speaker 5: and I hated myself for tanking it.
Speaker 3: I was like, writer, God, I was not good in
Speaker 3: this episode.
Speaker 2: It wasn't horrible, but I was like, I think you're great.
Speaker 5: I know, me and Ben there's you know, we were
Speaker 5: like not having fun, like and this is the classic.
Speaker 5: Like my memory is entirely based on the experience on
Speaker 5: the set, which was not fun.
Speaker 3: This week.
Speaker 2: For whatever reason, we were miserable.
Speaker 5: I think it's because of the props. I think it's
Speaker 5: because we had a different director. It felt like a
Speaker 5: lot of things that had nothing to do with our show,
Speaker 5: or I don't know, whatever reason. It was a bad
Speaker 5: week personally, and so those memories completely infected what otherwise
Speaker 5: is a very funny script and like totally fun, totally
Speaker 5: fun episode.
Speaker 1: Now that I agree with you one hundred percent, That's
Speaker 1: what I remember was that this was not a good
Speaker 1: week for us as a as a company, you know Bill.
Speaker 1: I remember Bill having a lot of struggling this week
Speaker 1: with just the kind of atmosphere that was brought onto
Speaker 1: the set. This week was not a great one, and
Speaker 1: there was some struggles that were going on there, and
Speaker 1: I think that bled down to kind of the rest
Speaker 1: of us. And so that's what I remembered too. And
Speaker 1: I remember sitting that same thing where I was like,
Speaker 1: oh God, this episode and then watching it with Sue,
Speaker 1: We're both cackling. It was like, this is hysterically funny.
Speaker 2: This is a great episode.
Speaker 1: I was so happy we needed it this season with
Speaker 1: the last couple episodes we've had, and so it was
Speaker 1: just it was the quintessential.
Speaker 2: I was so happy to see this episode again.
Speaker 4: It was so fun. And I did remember that the
Speaker 4: overall memory of this episode was that it was a
Speaker 4: that it was bad. I didn't remember why, and even
Speaker 4: hearing you guys talk about the energy on set, I
Speaker 4: have no memory of what that energy was. Was there
Speaker 4: a lot of conflict between Mickey and Michael.
Speaker 2: No, it was Mickey and Bill.
Speaker 3: Bill. I think Bill was you know, Bill had a
Speaker 3: lot to do this episode.
Speaker 5: I mean it was a lot suddenly, you know, he
Speaker 5: went from what two lines of an episode in for
Speaker 5: a while and to having to do a lot of comedy,
Speaker 5: having to do physical stuff, having to like you know,
Speaker 5: so I think that he was under pressure.
Speaker 3: His wife was there.
Speaker 5: Ye know, I don't know what happened, but it was
Speaker 5: not a good on set environment. And I'm yeah, and yeah,
Speaker 5: it's funny to hear that will because like I, you know,
Speaker 5: I didn't consciously remember that it was Bill being upset,
Speaker 5: but like I could tell, especially in the scene where
Speaker 5: Ben and I are like breaking all the stuff, like
Speaker 5: we are low energy, we are. I also think we
Speaker 5: did not do a live audience. If I remember energy,
Speaker 5: it is a block and shoot, which made it harder
Speaker 5: and more complicated. So yeah, I think it was yeah,
Speaker 5: But watching it, I was like I was just not
Speaker 5: feeling it, which.
Speaker 3: Is too bad because the idea of like.
Speaker 5: Corey Sean doing their like Corey Sean stuff should have
Speaker 5: been fun, Like we should have been having fun with
Speaker 5: this stuff, and instead I could tell that it was laborious.
Speaker 2: For me even watching it was like, yeah, it was
Speaker 2: a strange week.
Speaker 1: It was a strange week that still birthed a really
Speaker 1: fun episode.
Speaker 4: I know. It's even just listening to you guys talk
Speaker 4: about it. It's funny to me that, like thinking taking
Speaker 4: myself out of the show, thinking about people watching it
Speaker 4: going they must have had so much fun that week,
Speaker 4: you know, because like it does play like a really
Speaker 4: fun episode, and then to know that bts. Everyone was like, let's.
Speaker 1: Just get through it, because it is a shame. It
Speaker 1: put It puts some OG's back together, put Corey and
Speaker 1: Sean back together, and why they were.
Speaker 2: Supposed to mafia guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they put Eric and Feenie back together, and it
Speaker 1: was the way it was supposed to be seen.
Speaker 5: I was just like, oh, pure Eric feene Joy. I
Speaker 5: was like, yes, just keep doing this, and you guys
Speaker 5: are so good in it.
Speaker 3: It was really fun and.
Speaker 1: It was great and and yeah, I didn't remember obviously,
Speaker 1: there's certain things that have become memes, like you're in
Speaker 1: a triangle, Feenie, So I remembered when that came. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh wait, this is this is that scene.
Speaker 1: But other than that I and then the brain the
Speaker 1: thing fast.
Speaker 2: I remember that. Then the rest of the week I knew.
Speaker 1: Nothing of this episode, the whole thing with Matt Lawrence
Speaker 1: and the Giant shoes.
Speaker 2: Didn't like. None of that was I remembered.
Speaker 3: I will say, not a great beet story.
Speaker 2: Well, it's just kind of thrown in there, and.
Speaker 5: The tag is pretty pretty bad. There's a robber that
Speaker 5: storyline just went to there. It's like this one note
Speaker 5: joke three times and old.
Speaker 1: Keep old women thinking that they shouldn't be together was
Speaker 1: kind of the joke.
Speaker 2: It should have been an old lady, and then it
Speaker 2: should have been a little kid, and then it should like.
Speaker 4: Right, why are there something lay in her building?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: I bet this is how that went. They went, uh,
Speaker 3: and then they walk.
Speaker 5: Into the hallway and there's an old lady and she says,
Speaker 5: you're too tall for it, right, And then they were
Speaker 5: like and then then they come out and there's somebody
Speaker 5: else who does it too, And then even the robber
Speaker 5: does that, and they were like.
Speaker 3: But what if the robber was also an old lady?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: It was like it just went a hat on a hat,
Speaker 5: and so they were like, actually, guys, it's it's not
Speaker 5: that funny funny.
Speaker 2: And now you're just I want those shoes, though I wasn't.
Speaker 2: I want to try that. I want to see what it's.
Speaker 1: Like to be because, as Susan pointed out to me,
Speaker 1: and we'll get to it in the scene, she's in.
Speaker 2: Flats, I know.
Speaker 1: So I did not realize that she's literally like ten
Speaker 1: inches taller than Matt.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he's not.
Speaker 2: That much shorter than me. I mean, we're yeah, he's
Speaker 2: maybe an.
Speaker 3: Inch or so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's probably at least five eight, if not five nine.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Guest starring Francis ex McCarthy is Curtis kincaid. He's a
Speaker 4: recognizable character actor you've seen in movies like The Man
Speaker 4: with Two Brains, Basketball, Summer School, and Summer Rental.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh okay.
Speaker 5: Sole was immediately will oh god, yes, because I was like,
Speaker 5: this guy's amazing. He must work all the time. But
Speaker 5: I actually couldn't think of anything I've seen him in.
Speaker 5: Summer Rental is the only movie that you mentioned that
Speaker 5: I've seen, So.
Speaker 1: You haven't seen The Man with Two Brains. No, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, it's Steve Martin. Arguably Steve Martin's greatest movie
Speaker 1: ever seen. So was the blinding reference to that? Were
Speaker 1: they like riffing on not?
Speaker 2: I mean not really he did.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that big a part, but it's Oh God,
Speaker 1: the Man with Two Brains is It's one of the
Speaker 1: greatest comedies of all time.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 4: He was also in around one hundred TV shows, including Cheers,
Speaker 4: Saint Elsewhere, alf, The Secret World of Alex Mac and ncis.
Speaker 4: He is still working at the age of eighty three.
Speaker 4: Oh sweet, Yeah, we have Bonnie Bartlett back as Dean
Speaker 4: Lila Bolander. Yes, and Sandra Gould plays Little Old Lady.
Speaker 4: She's best known as Gladys Kravitz on Bewitched, but also
Speaker 4: amongst over her one hundred credits is I Love Lucy,
Speaker 4: The Jack Benny Program. I'm just gonna say, program like
Speaker 4: that program, Jack Benny Program. I'm watching my programs, The
Speaker 4: Jack Benny Program, The Brady Bunch, and the Dawn Knotts movie,
Speaker 4: The Ghost and Mister Chicken, and Boy Meets World was
Speaker 4: her last role. She would die later that year at
Speaker 4: age eighty three. Oh my god, she did to enjoy
Speaker 4: the week either.
Speaker 1: No God, but also you blew by one of the
Speaker 1: biggest television characters of all time.
Speaker 2: Missus misteris oh miss grat Have you never heard it?
Speaker 1: Like? It's whenever somebody's a nosy neighbor, it's always a
Speaker 1: real Missus Kravitz.
Speaker 2: Yeah, real missus Kravitz.
Speaker 1: That's where that's from. She's with the Missus Kravitz from Bewitch.
Speaker 2: I had no idea. Oh that's awesome.
Speaker 4: We have Lily and Adams as Missus Furlong. She was
Speaker 4: a very busy background actor, best known as Tilly and
Speaker 4: Steve Martin's the jerk scene in Navin's Humble Mississippi Beginnings,
Speaker 4: but she also appeared in Bruce Almighty, Little Nikki Wings,
Speaker 4: and Frasier. But honestly, she appeared in every TV show
Speaker 4: from nineteen eighty two to twenty eleven, when she passed
Speaker 4: away at the age of eighty nine. And finally, Mildred.
Speaker 5: She gets a name and the other other woman gets
Speaker 5: little old lady.
Speaker 4: There's the other one is missus Bertleson.
Speaker 2: Huh okay.
Speaker 4: She was also on Party of Five, So Mildred Dumas
Speaker 4: is Missus Bertleson. She was also on Party of Five,
Speaker 4: Two Guys, A Girl in a Pizza Place, and two
Speaker 4: episodes of Malcolm in the middle. So, which one do
Speaker 4: we think is the robber little old lady? Why wouldn't
Speaker 4: they call her robber or something?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know, Yeah, because I guess they would
Speaker 5: know the other women because they were like in the
Speaker 5: building or neighbors or whatever. But the robber would just
Speaker 5: be the reveal is it's a little old lady.
Speaker 4: Right right? Assed. I mean also you could call her
Speaker 4: a burglar. You could call it, you know, call her.
Speaker 1: Burglar to me evokes like the hamburglar, like the black
Speaker 1: and white shirt and like, oh, I'm gonna punch you
Speaker 1: in the mush.
Speaker 2: See, Like that's like that kind of thing.
Speaker 5: It's something that I like, I actually do tell my
Speaker 5: writing students. I was like, an actor is going to
Speaker 5: have to play this, and you're going to have to
Speaker 5: hire them. If you write ugly girl number three or
Speaker 5: fat guy eating in the corner, think about how that's
Speaker 5: gonna make them feel, and think about the quality of
Speaker 5: the performance you're going to get from the actor who
Speaker 5: agrees to do that role versus you know, because they
Speaker 5: are going to feel defeated already. Just start so just
Speaker 5: try just try give him a name, give them a
Speaker 5: little bit you know, it's a gift to the actor whatever.
Speaker 5: Make it fun for them, not humiliating. But back in
Speaker 5: the day, they still they used to do it all
Speaker 5: the time. It would just write that, you know, geeky
Speaker 5: guy whatever, and it's like they would think it's funny,
Speaker 5: and you'd get that the perspective of the show or
Speaker 5: the perspective of the movie is is that what?
Speaker 3: But recognize that a human being is gonna have to
Speaker 3: play this.
Speaker 1: So give me.
Speaker 4: If I started auditioning again and I started getting a
Speaker 4: bunch of frumpy, middle middle aged lady roles, I'd be like,
Speaker 4: oh god, it's okay.
Speaker 5: But I mean even when it's positive, like because you know,
Speaker 5: I remember having to audition for like hot guy this
Speaker 5: or whatever, and I would not do it. I would
Speaker 5: at audition or I'd just be like, I'm never gonna
Speaker 5: get this. I would be so insecure that I'm like, well,
Speaker 5: they will obviously want.
Speaker 4: Right, is someone hotter than I would do that.
Speaker 2: I did that all the time.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, we lucky to come in and read
Speaker 1: for the quarterback. I'm like, why You're never going to
Speaker 1: cast me as the quarterback? Like it's never gonna happen.
Speaker 1: But is that fat guy three eating in the corner?
Speaker 1: That is that available?
Speaker 2: I'd like to I'd like to. Yeah, sitting in a corner.
Speaker 2: That's all I have to do.
Speaker 3: Love that.
Speaker 2: I'll take that all day.
Speaker 4: Jumping into our recap, we start in the student union.
Speaker 4: Phoene walks in and Eric's seated at a table, quickly
Speaker 4: spots him. Phoenie, you here, sit now. Phoene hesitantly approaches
Speaker 4: his student Eric. Don't do that, Eric interrupts him, Dean bolander.
Speaker 4: Phoene quickly takes a seat. Okay, what you got.
Speaker 1: I was so happy just watching this because I don't
Speaker 1: remember any of this, but just seeing Eric and Phoenie
Speaker 1: together again, I.
Speaker 4: Was like, oh, this is so much, so great.
Speaker 5: So I'm also officially at the stage where I'm appreciating
Speaker 5: and uh uh wishing I had Phoene's wardrobe. It's delightful.
Speaker 5: I was just like I was coveting it. That's the
Speaker 5: word I was looking for. I was coveting Phoenie's wardrobe.
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm an old I'm an old man.
Speaker 5: Now I want I want that because that was a
Speaker 5: it's like a window pane when it is just I
Speaker 5: was like oh, Phoenie, looking.
Speaker 3: Good, looking good, FENI I want that coat.
Speaker 4: It is so great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he always rocks the coat vest combo too.
Speaker 5: Yes, I just feel like you have to be like
Speaker 5: sixty plus to pull off.
Speaker 1: But like Bonnie told me, I think he still has
Speaker 1: a lot of his wardrobe. So I think a lot
Speaker 1: of those suits that he's still got.
Speaker 4: Maybe you, maybe next time when we see Bill in
Speaker 4: Long Beach, can you maybe ask him? Could I could
Speaker 4: I borrow one of your jacket vest combos try out
Speaker 4: for a weekend? See if I like it?
Speaker 2: Thank you love it.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry every time you just said when we see
Speaker 1: Bill and Long Beach, I just picture Bill in his
Speaker 1: scooter but rock back like this, driving and you're just
Speaker 1: hearing like the LBC going on in the back, like yeah,
Speaker 1: just Bill in the LBC.
Speaker 4: I can't wait.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't be awesome.
Speaker 4: So Eric asks, how old do you know, mister Feennie?
Speaker 4: What ninety one hundred? Phoene glares back, one hundred. What
Speaker 4: do you want? Eric clarifies himself, not what I want.
Speaker 4: It's what you want. But you're not going after Phoene
Speaker 4: informed Eric my relationship with Dean Bolander will proceed at
Speaker 4: my pace, not yours. But Eric argues, you are such
Speaker 4: a scaredy cat. I mean, here's a woman that you've
Speaker 4: obviously got the hots for, and you're not gonna do
Speaker 4: anything about it. Mister Feenie angrily looks at Eric. Mister Matthews,
Speaker 4: don't reduce my feelings for the woman to the hats, unless,
Speaker 4: of course, she used that term. Eric insists, mister Feenie,
Speaker 4: you have been good to me over the years. You
Speaker 4: taught me everything I never paid attention to. It's payback time.
Speaker 4: Phoene's not interested. Oh no, no, no payback time. I
Speaker 4: don't want it, Eric, Eric isn't hearing it while sipping
Speaker 4: his coffee. It's out of your hands, Phoene, Sorry, out
Speaker 4: of your hands. Phoene explains, Dean Bolander is the kind
Speaker 4: of woman that you have to romance slowly, carefully, like
Speaker 4: an orchid. I'm a gardener, I know these things. Then
Speaker 4: on cue to Pega and Angelo walk in with Dean Bolander.
Speaker 4: The Dean tells the girls stop selling me. I like
Speaker 4: the man very much, but he needs to pick up
Speaker 4: the pace of this dance. To Penga defends her mentor
Speaker 4: Or isn't there anything to be said for the old
Speaker 4: fashioned approach. She sarcastically responds, yeah, and then makes a
Speaker 4: fart noise.
Speaker 2: Raspberry.
Speaker 3: This could have been punched up a little bit. I
Speaker 3: was like, why, why are to Panga and need us somewhere?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it would have been nice to just give a
Speaker 5: little bit of like pre conversation with you guys that
Speaker 5: sets up that she that you think that she and.
Speaker 3: PHOENI you know, I don't know. I know it's all
Speaker 3: time constraint.
Speaker 1: But then Justanga and and Angela and.
Speaker 5: So big at this point, right, and then you have
Speaker 5: like basically two guest stars. You have the Dean and
Speaker 5: the Adventurer taking over so much time.
Speaker 2: And old Lady one through eight a lot of people.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: It is really interesting thinking about what we've talked about
Speaker 4: with there being some tension between Mickey and Bill, it
Speaker 4: is really interesting that they gave this Big Bill episode
Speaker 4: to a first time director that.
Speaker 2: Had a lot of set pieces. I mean, we had
Speaker 2: the b and I remember that was a big problem.
Speaker 2: And the props.
Speaker 1: There was a ton of props and there was new sets,
Speaker 1: and yeah, maybe that's why they I often wonder do you,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're both directors, so you would know this.
Speaker 1: How far into the process will they decide no audience?
Speaker 2: I mean it's the table read or is it well
Speaker 2: before when they're okay?
Speaker 1: So it's not like sometimes before the scripts are coming
Speaker 1: in in three weeks from the show, it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: this episode here, we're not going to do this one
Speaker 1: in front of the audience.
Speaker 4: On Boy, we probably did decide at the production meeting.
Speaker 4: On shows I work on now, if they're shows that
Speaker 4: have a live audience, sometimes like by the time the
Speaker 4: outline is out, it's already been discussed, this is going
Speaker 4: to be a big episode. We're already thinking about blocking
Speaker 4: and shooting, and so it's decided like well before. But
Speaker 4: on Boy, we probably figured out at the production meeting
Speaker 4: or the week before when the outline came out and
Speaker 4: people were like, look at all these sets that we're
Speaker 4: gonna have to build.
Speaker 2: But this was a thing.
Speaker 1: This was a thing on our show because think about
Speaker 1: Heyfer's first episode was.
Speaker 2: The Casablanca one.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like there is a lot of times
Speaker 1: when they get first time directors really complicated shows.
Speaker 3: That's true. Also, the Eskimo was.
Speaker 4: Jody No, it was that was Lish yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, that was a difficult one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I mean, and that is that's a that's
Speaker 4: a definite test of the director for the first time,
Speaker 4: for sure, and it's an unnecessary one. But like more
Speaker 4: than even just first time director and big sets for Bill,
Speaker 4: like Bill would have probably been a lot more comfortable
Speaker 4: or somebody Kendall, somebody he really knew, who knew him
Speaker 4: really well, who also knew how Bill liked to receive notes,
Speaker 4: because did he ever receive notes? Like and so I can't.
Speaker 4: It just feels like a situation that wasn't set up, Yeah,
Speaker 4: could have been avoided and wasn't really the most supportive
Speaker 4: of our you know, the actor on the show that
Speaker 4: maybe deserved the most protection. So Dean Bolander continues, he
Speaker 4: needs to do something, he needs to express his feelings.
Speaker 4: Goodness knows, I've been dropping the man hints left and right.
Speaker 4: Angela suggests maybe you're being too subtle. Dean Bolander shows
Speaker 4: some skin and admits I hiked up my skirt at
Speaker 4: the seminar. Angela is impressed. Damn. Back at the big table,
Speaker 4: it is funny. Back at the table, Eric is giving
Speaker 4: Feenie a pep talk. The time is now every second
Speaker 4: you wait is another clogged artery. The professor turns to
Speaker 4: look at Dean Bolander and admits, you know, my cholesterol
Speaker 4: level is high. Eric dramatically asks George. If not, now,
Speaker 4: when is this the first George from Eric? So I
Speaker 4: think this is the first.
Speaker 1: I mean that hit the ears weird where it's like, wow,
Speaker 1: you just called him to George.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Phoene finally decides, Now he gets up, and
Speaker 4: Eric jumps right out of his chair too, following Phoenie
Speaker 4: and grabbing his shoulders. That's right, that's right, you are
Speaker 4: the man. You are the man. Phoene can't take any more. Oh, well,
Speaker 4: you just get lost. Eric quickly responds, I'm lost. Just
Speaker 4: bring her home, Just bring her home. Phoene approaches the Dean.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, Dean Bolander, There's something that I've been meaning
Speaker 4: to say to you, And then just as he's getting
Speaker 4: to the good part, he's interrupted by a man barging
Speaker 4: into the student union with his arms wide open. There
Speaker 4: she is Lilah Bolander, the eighth Wonder of the World.
Speaker 4: Dean Bolander yells Curtis and runs into his arms. A
Speaker 4: defeated Phoene says to Eric, he must know her, and
Speaker 4: it's a romp. It's a romp. We're we're romping. We
Speaker 4: go to a commercial break, and then we returned to
Speaker 4: the student union. Curtis and Dean Bolander walk back to
Speaker 4: a confused Feenie, their arms intertwined. The Dean is gushing, well, Curtis,
Speaker 4: what's it been fifteen years? Curtis agrees, All this time,
Speaker 4: I'm running around the world digging up bones and you're
Speaker 4: here not aging a day. Doesn't seem fair, but I
Speaker 4: like it. Eric tries to a sure feene Relax, this
Speaker 4: guy's got nothing. Dean Bolander walks Curtis over. I want
Speaker 4: you to meet someone. This is my colleague and friend,
Speaker 4: George Feeney. Curtis reaches out his hand. Kurt Kincaid put
Speaker 4: it there. Poene accepts the handshake and responds, a pleasure,
Speaker 4: mister Kincaid. Curtis laughs, Oh, come on, what's with the mister?
Speaker 4: It's doctor Kincaid. Wonderful, it's perfect doctor. What's with the
Speaker 4: mister it's doctor? Dean Bolander explains, Curtis is in town
Speaker 4: to speak at our science seminar. He's made some top
Speaker 4: secret fines in Africa. So he came to pen.
Speaker 5: Yes, of course, this is renowned international archaeology school.
Speaker 4: FA okay, Curtis humbly brags, Oh, just a little something
Speaker 4: that will change the course of the new millennium. Phoene's surprised.
Speaker 4: So then you're an archaeologist, Curtis pleads George. That makes
Speaker 4: me feel like a geezer with a compass. I prefer
Speaker 4: Fortune Hunter Venture or my personal favorite Lila's X husband.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, no, audience, I'm doing it myself.
Speaker 4: Eric whispers to Feeney X. It's not a problem. But
Speaker 4: then Curtis grabs Dean Bolander's hands and proclaims, but I'm
Speaker 4: here to win her back. Eric suddenly shifts course and suggests,
Speaker 4: you know what, you've been alone this long? How about
Speaker 4: you know, like a puppy.
Speaker 2: Solid for one with a puzzle. Yeah, poor George.
Speaker 1: Does anybody else have a problem thinking that Pembrooke has
Speaker 1: to be just a school if Eric's at.
Speaker 4: It, No, I have a But.
Speaker 2: It's like Eric and Tapanga are at the same school.
Speaker 5: But there are those schools that are big, like big
Speaker 5: state schools.
Speaker 3: Are big and they have you know, various levels.
Speaker 2: So this is the Arizona State of I think.
Speaker 3: It's a Penn State. I think it's like Penn State,
Speaker 3: because Penn State is is.
Speaker 5: Actually a very good school, but it's also very big,
Speaker 5: and they allow you know, they have a higher acceptance
Speaker 5: rate because they have like state funding, so they allow
Speaker 5: people that have like a certain GPA. So it's like,
Speaker 5: you know, it's it's basically like combining a junior college
Speaker 5: and a university, but when you get that big, it's
Speaker 5: like you have all the levels represented.
Speaker 2: The junior college version of basically you know that works
Speaker 2: for me? Then okay, So then.
Speaker 4: We're in the school hallway. Eric stands in front of
Speaker 4: Sean and Corey's bake sale table, dramatically narrating a god
Speaker 4: in a Godfather esque accent, and the man stepped in
Speaker 4: between them, and the course of true love for one
Speaker 4: of our own may have forever been altered by this
Speaker 4: ski voice.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's even a word.
Speaker 4: I don't know either.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't even think it's a word. Okay, where where
Speaker 2: does this come from? No idea.
Speaker 1: It's also way too long. It's funny, but way too
Speaker 1: way too funny.
Speaker 5: So I was watching this episode with Ocean, who is like,
Speaker 5: you know, only seeing one or two episodes of Boys
Speaker 5: World ever, he used to come to Tapians but he
Speaker 5: and and that was his date.
Speaker 3: He's like, okay, we get the joke this is And
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what happened? We did it.
Speaker 5: It was probably like only four lines, and the writers
Speaker 5: just thought it was so funny.
Speaker 3: And then they were like, let's keep going. This could
Speaker 3: only get better going.
Speaker 5: It was like, wow, let's let's pull some to Panga
Speaker 5: Angela dialogue and give it to the guys doing this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be funny to give it. Toy drove to
Speaker 3: the ground.
Speaker 5: They drove it to the ground. By the time, like
Speaker 5: I'm getting up and walking around. It was like just
Speaker 5: if we just had us like sipping the.
Speaker 4: Thing, Corey saying, how do you come to me?
Speaker 2: But I just didn't know.
Speaker 3: I just wanted I was.
Speaker 2: I remembered this. I knew it was funny.
Speaker 3: It was funny, but without the music which sets it up.
Speaker 3: Why is this happening? Why are we suddenly Italian?
Speaker 4: I'm saying, I don't why do you have a bake sale?
Speaker 1: I know, well, I think the whole point is supposed
Speaker 1: to be you're the two you're the godfathers of Mayhem.
Speaker 1: So but you've gone legit because Corey is on probation
Speaker 1: and you have found yourself while traveling.
Speaker 3: How do you know Corey is on.
Speaker 2: He even says it.
Speaker 1: He says that the principle put me on probation for
Speaker 1: but he goes, I remember, Eric, I hate a teacher.
Speaker 2: I'm on probation. If I do anything, you kicked out
Speaker 2: of here.
Speaker 5: I guess I just wish before the accents that was
Speaker 5: set up, do you know what I mean? It was
Speaker 5: like it was like Eric said I need help. I
Speaker 5: needed someone to help me. And somebody you know, was
Speaker 5: next to you and said, well you can't ask Corey
Speaker 5: and Sean why not?
Speaker 3: Well they've gone legit.
Speaker 5: And then we cut this scene, you know, and then
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, okay, they have to do the bake
Speaker 5: sale because I don't know.
Speaker 3: It was just like to have I was discussing.
Speaker 5: It already in Italian accents.
Speaker 3: I was just disoriented. Okay, I'll just go with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, too long and very random, but a lot of math.
Speaker 4: For a funny joke. It is a funny joke, but
Speaker 4: there's a lot of math to get to it. And
Speaker 4: and yeah, once we got the joke and get a
Speaker 4: good solid laugh, get out.
Speaker 1: And I also I think we should have dropped the
Speaker 1: accents at some point and been like, why are we
Speaker 1: Italian like you?
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that circle?
Speaker 4: Why are you doing it?
Speaker 2: You did it? I don't know. This isn't even my hat,
Speaker 2: Like I mean, it could have been funny. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Corey looks at Eric and also delves into this mafia
Speaker 4: inspired moment. Why do you come to us now on
Speaker 4: this the day of our bake sale? Eric explains, well,
Speaker 4: because this just happened like five minutes ago. Corey asks, Okay,
Speaker 4: what do you need? And Eric admits I need for
Speaker 4: you to do me this favor. The tension is broken
Speaker 4: up by Sean loudly slurping his coffee. Corey puts his
Speaker 4: hand on his chest. You need me to do you
Speaker 4: this favor. You never invited me into your home, You
Speaker 4: never invited me for a cup of coffee. Sean shakes
Speaker 4: his head in disapproval.
Speaker 5: Eric thought, but at this point, I was like, the
Speaker 5: joke is going to be that Sean never speaks, but
Speaker 5: he has all the power exactly, And so I thought
Speaker 5: Corey was going to have to like check with me,
Speaker 5: and I like do a double sip, which that means
Speaker 5: means something.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's like a And.
Speaker 5: I thought that would have been way funnier and we
Speaker 5: could have just gotten out. But instead of talking, I
Speaker 5: got to get up and do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Eric admits, yes, I know, and for this, I
Speaker 4: am sorry, but we must help Foene. But he mustn't
Speaker 4: know that it is us that is the biggest This
Speaker 4: is the biggest job we've ever attempted to pull off.
Speaker 4: I come to you with my hat in my hand.
Speaker 4: Corey pipes up, it's my hat, and Eric snaps back,
Speaker 4: it's my hand. Are you in or are you out?
Speaker 3: Great beat, Sean.
Speaker 4: Chimes in, Eric, we're flattered that you've come to us,
Speaker 4: but look around. We're legitimate now. Corey points out we're
Speaker 4: in the bake sale business. But Eric pleads, guys, it's feeny.
Speaker 4: He's family. This may be his one chance at true love.
Speaker 4: Sean reminds him, I just spent sixty eight bucks traveling
Speaker 4: around this country. I learned a few things about life.
Speaker 4: Corey asks, why don't you tell him what you learned? Sean, Then,
Speaker 4: breaking character, Corey whispers to his brother, I love this part,
Speaker 4: Sean starts his diatribe. I learned to be at peace
Speaker 4: with myself. I like looking over my shoulder and not
Speaker 4: worrying about who's coming after me. Then as a student
Speaker 4: walks past Sean, he does look over his shit.
Speaker 5: Funny, it's such a good kind of He was on
Speaker 5: the other side though, right on the camera, because you
Speaker 5: just I look away.
Speaker 4: But yeah, the rhythm is oh, it's so funny. He continues.
Speaker 4: These schemes and capers I used to hatch. They only
Speaker 4: lead to despair. That's what I learned. I also learned
Speaker 4: never to park a trailer across a railroad track. When
Speaker 4: that thing is down.
Speaker 5: It's perfect right, because if I knew the name for it,
Speaker 5: it wouldn't be fun I think.
Speaker 3: So good.
Speaker 4: It's like, if you knew the name for it, it would
Speaker 4: be a full lesson learned. Instead, it's just.
Speaker 1: You learn.
Speaker 3: That good.
Speaker 4: Corey ads. Besides, Eric, I hit a teacher. Remember the
Speaker 4: dean put me on probation. I do one thing wrong,
Speaker 4: I'm out of here. Sean asks Eric, don't you think
Speaker 4: Phoene can take care of himself? But Eric shakes his head.
Speaker 4: I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed to call you guys, my brother Sean.
Speaker 4: The more we say how long this went on? Every
Speaker 4: time I read another thing, though, I'm like, but what
Speaker 4: do you cut?
Speaker 3: That's a problem cut. They were like, we just gotta
Speaker 3: go with it. We just gotta.
Speaker 2: It's really funny. It was just too long, but it's
Speaker 2: really funny.
Speaker 4: He grabs a cupcake off the table and shoves it
Speaker 4: in his mouth, staring down Sean in the process. Then
Speaker 4: he walks away to a big applause from the inmates. Unimpressed,
Speaker 4: Sean tells Corey, he ate the paper.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, that's right, there's applause. Yeah, so maybe
Speaker 2: there was audience.
Speaker 4: There must have been audience.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe it sounded pretty organic though, the clapping, that's right.
Speaker 5: And there's the reaction to the brain stuff they oh
Speaker 5: and awe.
Speaker 2: But I also I definitely remember.
Speaker 4: Wait, you know what I remember? Maybe they played this
Speaker 4: episode for another audience, like another week's audience capture and
Speaker 4: captured reaction.
Speaker 2: That's what they did. Yeah, yeah, that could have been it.
Speaker 4: The brain stuff. There's no way that would have been
Speaker 4: something we shot in front of the audience.
Speaker 1: No, that was the other side of the that was
Speaker 1: the same side as the audience.
Speaker 2: As well down you're looking at the audience.
Speaker 1: It was all the way down to the left, and
Speaker 1: it was a big, cavernous kind of set at the time,
Speaker 1: and that definitely wasn't done.
Speaker 3: In front of the audience.
Speaker 2: I can't remember if we just blocked and taped a
Speaker 2: couple scenes and then.
Speaker 3: I'm just remembering.
Speaker 5: This is the episode where and Sing came to visit
Speaker 5: and I had the conversation about the monkeys.
Speaker 4: Tell the story again. It's so funny. That story cracks
Speaker 4: me up.
Speaker 5: It was. Yeah, so we were at Craft Service and
Speaker 5: it was me and Justin and I guess Lance or
Speaker 5: whoever else having a conversation about like what's next, and
Speaker 5: and just well, yeah, for indsake, and Justin was like, yeah, well,
Speaker 5: you know, they want us to do like a TV
Speaker 5: show or you know, like with the band as acting.
Speaker 5: And I was and I was like, uh, are you
Speaker 5: going to do that? And You're like, yeah, we really
Speaker 5: don't want to do that. And we were both just
Speaker 5: sort of like acknowledging and that's kind of a crappy.
Speaker 3: Cheesy hockey idea.
Speaker 5: And Mickey Dolan's grabbed a handful of nuts right behind
Speaker 5: from Craft Services, like why why not why not? And
Speaker 5: was eating and I just remember watching Justin turn make realize.
Speaker 3: Who he was talking to, make the calculation be like, oh,
Speaker 3: well it's just not you know, we'll see it's you're
Speaker 3: on Twitter.
Speaker 5: We'll probably I don't know why we would, and like
Speaker 5: it was just one of the greatest moments only see
Speaker 5: the creation and like, oh Timberlake back pedaling in front
Speaker 5: of them.
Speaker 2: Only in Hollywood craft service tables you.
Speaker 1: Get to see this kind of Oh why would band
Speaker 1: being a TV show?
Speaker 3: That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 4: Oh hello, Hello, he's behind me, isn't it.
Speaker 5: It probably also came out of now that I realized
Speaker 5: that the conversation probably evolved out of Nobody's angel having
Speaker 5: been on our show, so you know, the idea of
Speaker 5: like boy bands appearing on shows, Like I'm sure that
Speaker 5: that's why he and I were talking.
Speaker 4: About Mickey Dolan's direct that episode.
Speaker 3: That would that would have made sense.
Speaker 5: But I'm sitting there, Yeah, I probably was like, you know,
Speaker 5: it really didn't work, Like we had these girls on
Speaker 5: her ship, you don't know what. And then Justin was like, yeah,
Speaker 5: they want us to do it, but it's gonna be
Speaker 5: why would we ever do that?
Speaker 3: Oh, mickey, it's a great moment.
Speaker 4: So then we're in the apartment. Jack and Rachel are
Speaker 4: making out, but something seems to be bothering her. Jack
Speaker 4: is worried. What's the matter? She explains, you know, I
Speaker 4: really love this, but have you noticed that this is
Speaker 4: all we do? Jack smiles, Yeah, isn't it great? She agrees, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it is great, but I want more. Jack looks up
Speaker 4: at God. Oh thank you. He grabs Rachel's hand to
Speaker 4: head upstairs. Well, more is right this way.
Speaker 1: So they're not sleeping together, of course, lived together, of course,
Speaker 1: sleep together.
Speaker 2: It's just but again, we've we've.
Speaker 1: Already talked about the fact that that Jack has had
Speaker 1: sex because he's in the Streame episode.
Speaker 2: He's dead. So you just I don't know why they
Speaker 2: had to bracket.
Speaker 1: The fact that they're definitely not having sex, Like, why
Speaker 1: even address it in any way? Shape because it's they're
Speaker 1: in their twenties and they live together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, enter dating.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a kid's show, I know, but
Speaker 1: it's not though at this point they were all, you know,
Speaker 1: adults in college.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's TJF.
Speaker 3: Though they're still hoping that eight year olds are watching.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It just seemed like a weird thing to throw out there, like, yes,
Speaker 1: I get to have sex with this adult woman I live.
Speaker 4: With the next thing, she said, But but she stops him.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I mean I want us to be a couple.
Speaker 4: So okay, so they're not officially a couple.
Speaker 2: They live together.
Speaker 4: I mean that's but they live together because they're because
Speaker 4: they were living together.
Speaker 2: They separate rooms. We think they're I think she went
Speaker 2: up in one direction.
Speaker 4: He Jack's confused. We are a couple. She's not sold.
Speaker 4: I want to go out, Jack, we haven't gone out
Speaker 4: since we've become a couple. Why don't we ever go anywhere?
Speaker 4: So I guess they are a couple. I don't know.
Speaker 4: He disagrees. We go plenty of places. He points to
Speaker 4: different places in the apartment. First you went there, then
Speaker 4: you went there, and now we're gonna go up there.
Speaker 4: She clarifies, I want to be with people. I want
Speaker 4: to go dancing. Jack looks stressed. Let's go to the movies.
Speaker 4: She points out. The movies are dark, no one will
Speaker 4: see us, and I want to show you off. She
Speaker 4: scoots closer to him. I want to go dancing. You
Speaker 4: can dance, right, Jack half heartedly answers, Yeah, I can dance.
Speaker 1: It's a great answer to the way he does it
Speaker 1: because he can.
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, I can dance.
Speaker 4: She hugs him and exclaims, great. Then we'll go dancing
Speaker 4: tomorrow night. She begins to walk upstairs. Oh, Jack, this
Speaker 4: is going to be so much fun. I can't wait.
Speaker 4: Jack does not seem to be too happy about this plan.
Speaker 4: And then we're in Phoenie's classroom and the students are
Speaker 4: sitting at their desks, while Feenie and Dean Boland are
Speaker 4: also watch on as Curtis speaks to the class about
Speaker 4: his adventures. So I jump off the cliff, grab hold
Speaker 4: of a big old branch jungle gym to the river
Speaker 4: and never saw Chief Yakazo's ugly mug again. And the
Speaker 4: cursed Ruby of the zang Kwai now resides in the
Speaker 4: Turkish Museum of Natural History, diagonally across from the Hard
Speaker 4: Rock Cafe. Hard Rock Cafe makes me laugh. So gosh,
Speaker 4: it was so big in the nineties.
Speaker 2: It was so great, and it was do you remember
Speaker 2: Planet Hollywood?
Speaker 1: Is the captain crunched chicken fingers that we would all
Speaker 1: go to get the cafic crunch with that amazing dipping sauce.
Speaker 5: Like, why did we I feel like I was always
Speaker 5: being invited to planet Hollywood for some of the events.
Speaker 3: We were always.
Speaker 4: Invited to Planet Hollywood. We got to put our hands
Speaker 4: in the mud.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: They only wanted to peng us.
Speaker 2: No, I got I had mine done too.
Speaker 3: Really you did it too, for sure, And it wasn't mud.
Speaker 3: It was cement, right, I.
Speaker 5: Mean that's like, okays, muddy stuff, just like you put
Speaker 5: it in mud and then wash it.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, so like four inches three four.
Speaker 1: Inches okay, regular photo this episode photo.
Speaker 5: For some reason, they put her in lifts then even
Speaker 5: though they look like flats.
Speaker 2: Look how much taller she is now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe she's in flats for that opening scene so
Speaker 4: that we established she's in flats, and then for the
Speaker 4: rest of the episode she actually wore heels.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe that's what it is, because I mean she's like,
Speaker 1: she's like, it's six inches taller than him.
Speaker 4: Though if she stood right next to him, it wouldn't
Speaker 4: be that big of a difference. I bet that angle,
Speaker 4: but I do it is possible that she had on
Speaker 4: little heels for the rest of the episode, and for
Speaker 4: that establishing shut those.
Speaker 2: Are her shoes in the episode. I can't tell what
Speaker 2: they are.
Speaker 4: Ah, there's a little heel there.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's what because this is the two of
Speaker 1: them together when he's in I can't dig shoes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he's getting like six inches.
Speaker 2: Off of that at least at least, so okay.
Speaker 4: All the students except for Eric, clap in amazement to
Speaker 4: paying an angela let out and inspired Wow. Eric aggressively
Speaker 4: asks them, Hey, whose side are you on? Phoene speaks up, well,
Speaker 4: thank you, doctor Kincaid for that vivid story, which provides
Speaker 4: us with a perfect transition into today's assignment, where on
Speaker 4: neighboring crete we will find Sir Arthur Evans excavating a
Speaker 4: minoan nosis. I don't know what. I don't know how
Speaker 4: to say any of the beginning in eighteen ninety nine,
Speaker 4: as Phoeney continues to lecture, the class clearly falls into
Speaker 4: Eric casually walks to the front of the room to
Speaker 4: throw something out, and on his way back to his seat,
Speaker 4: Eric coughs into Phoene's ear, you're dying.
Speaker 3: Do something.
Speaker 4: Phoeney continues, we will read what Evans was most interested
Speaker 4: in excavating and the effect it had on archaeology in
Speaker 4: the twentieth century. Even Curtis looks bored. He exclaims, ponderous, man, ponderous,
Speaker 4: while shaking his head. Dean Bolander tells her ex George
Speaker 4: is a fine educator, Curtis. Curtis shrugs his shoulders. Sorry,
Speaker 4: but when you've had these experiences firsthand, it's a little
Speaker 4: hard to get excited about reading a book. But I
Speaker 4: suppose reading is a lot safer than actually doing something.
Speaker 2: Oh Shot, still in the audience, Yehill be the audience.
Speaker 4: Eric, Corey and Sean overhear these statements, and a little
Speaker 4: Italian music starts to play. The three boys exchange looks.
Speaker 4: Corey leans into Sean back in his godfather accent. I
Speaker 4: feel as though this gentleman may require our attention. Sean
Speaker 4: nods in agreement, perhaps a lesson in humility. Corey adds
Speaker 4: something big, Shawna grees something spectacular. Corey looks at Sean
Speaker 4: and in his normal voice, prefaces, but let's not get
Speaker 4: caught like all the other times. Okay, and then we're
Speaker 4: in the college science department storage closet. Sure, Corey and
Speaker 4: Sean walk inside, and.
Speaker 2: Seriously, it's like, is this the Smithsonian? What's happening here?
Speaker 4: Apparently this college is an overflow from a museum. Corey
Speaker 4: is excited. Oh ho, shany of all the plans we've concocted,
Speaker 4: this is the best one. And we have concocted some doozies.
Speaker 4: Shawn agrees, and Feenie always caught us. But we're in
Speaker 4: college now, we are older, we're wiser. Corey wonders, you
Speaker 4: think he's up to the challenge. Sean grins. It's us
Speaker 4: against him, living on the edge. Babe. Corey gushes, I
Speaker 4: like it when you call him babe. Sean is ready.
Speaker 4: All right, So Eric said, this guy Curtis stored all
Speaker 4: the stuff from his last dig here in the science lab.
Speaker 4: Corey examines the artifacts. Yeah, he's supposedly got something that's
Speaker 4: going to alter the course of the new millennium. Sean asks,
Speaker 4: are we ready to execute phase one of our master plan?
Speaker 4: Didn't you guys already have this conversation like you were
Speaker 4: we ready? It feels like we could have cut this
Speaker 4: little part out.
Speaker 2: This is also a terrible plan, breaking artifacts. It's like,
Speaker 2: how is this the plan?
Speaker 5: This wat this is where we were miserable, and I think, yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 4: It is true that for all the mayhem Corey and Sean,
Speaker 4: cause they're not usually destructive.
Speaker 5: No at all, No, and that the funny parts were
Speaker 5: always that Sean was making Corey do it and Corey
Speaker 5: was more nervous, right, amazingly, so the dynamic of the
Speaker 5: Corey Sean doesn't ever work like this, right, Like think
Speaker 5: about think about the B and B episode, right, like
Speaker 5: the whole the dynamic is Sean being like, it's gonna
Speaker 5: be fine.
Speaker 4: It's exactly, it's a victimless crime, right yes.
Speaker 5: And and but also just the between the two of us,
Speaker 5: the energy, whereas this has this like weird performative, like
Speaker 5: I don't know, it just feels weird.
Speaker 4: It's yeah, yeah, I agree, this doesn't. It feels a
Speaker 4: little out of character. Although the characters, the idea for
Speaker 4: it is funny, it's just not not in character.
Speaker 1: I remember, this is where all the problems started, was
Speaker 1: just this set. Everything in this set was that we
Speaker 1: were just not.
Speaker 5: And I think coming back, it probably had to do
Speaker 5: with just all the props, you know, like all that
Speaker 5: stuff adds time makes actors.
Speaker 4: Some actress are really good actors.
Speaker 3: And then we had not We had to be that.
Speaker 3: We had to like drug do you remember this.
Speaker 4: We had to like there was a real bee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had.
Speaker 5: Like a b wrangler and and because you know, we
Speaker 5: don't want to like put we had to put a
Speaker 5: live b on her.
Speaker 3: And I forget how we did it, but there's some
Speaker 3: like thing you you.
Speaker 5: Like, stun a bee and put it on her and
Speaker 5: you know it probably didn't have a stinger.
Speaker 3: I don't like. I just it was a lot. There
Speaker 3: was a lot of stuff going on and everyone was
Speaker 3: stressed out.
Speaker 2: And there's like nine people in that set. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean we think about it's the whole damn cast is
Speaker 2: in that one set. Yeah. It was.
Speaker 1: I remember just not going well the whole week. I
Speaker 1: mean just it was every time we stepped into that set,
Speaker 1: it was not a good time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hearing you talk about it, if I were a
Speaker 4: director getting that script, I'd be like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: we have a huge set with a bunch of props
Speaker 4: and we've got nine people in it with a live b.
Speaker 4: I'd be like, this is a nightmare.
Speaker 1: Well, I remember you and I and Trina were just like,
Speaker 1: we did our best to just tuck back away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we were.
Speaker 1: Trying to step but then they'd have us step up
Speaker 1: for a line and then step back, and then step
Speaker 1: up for a line and step back, and it was
Speaker 1: just one of those.
Speaker 2: Very awkward, yeah, very awkward times.
Speaker 4: So Corey's enthused, let's mess this place up. The boys
Speaker 4: start aimlessly throwing paper in the air and moving things
Speaker 4: all around. Corey announces, you know, Shannie, I honestly don't
Speaker 4: see how anything could be simpler. He agrees this is
Speaker 4: child's play. What's this? Sure enough, he's examining a brain
Speaker 4: in a big jar. Corey insists that's gotta be his discovery.
Speaker 4: He discovered the world's first brain. If this gets out,
Speaker 4: PHOENI will never get the Dean. Sean's impressed. You could
Speaker 4: get any woman with the world's first brain. Corey wonders,
Speaker 4: could I get to Panga? Sean responds, yeah, I think
Speaker 4: you could could have been.
Speaker 1: Lifted also, So the just to follow the track.
Speaker 2: The plan is.
Speaker 1: Trash the stuff and make it and Blaine feenie. So
Speaker 1: then when the Dean comes in, what because Eric then
Speaker 1: throws in like he just made it up. Oh, this
Speaker 1: was an act of love, So that wasn't part of
Speaker 1: the original plan.
Speaker 5: So that I think the original plan is to make
Speaker 5: it look like Feenie destroyed ofrage of jealousy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, attacked his find.
Speaker 4: So I do think you're part of it. Was with
Speaker 4: that was was part of it, even.
Speaker 1: Though it seems I didn't play it like that at all,
Speaker 1: because I played it like I just Eric just comes
Speaker 1: up with But it's an act of love like it was.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like he. I didn't play it like I was.
Speaker 3: In on the You screwed it up as an actor.
Speaker 2: If that's the plan, this whole episode is my fault.
Speaker 2: That's my fault.
Speaker 1: You apologize just me andry about I didn't hear anything
Speaker 1: after be Wrangler.
Speaker 2: I'm honest with you.
Speaker 3: Let's go, I want to be a be Wrangler. Let's
Speaker 3: get Mackey.
Speaker 2: Yeah Francis you said, Francis is eighty three.
Speaker 4: Now he's still working, He's still doing it. Corey lets
Speaker 4: out a Homer Simpson style whoa and grabs the brain jar.
Speaker 4: Sean stops him. Whoa, whoa? Hey, that jar has been
Speaker 4: closed for five thousand years. Corey is struggling to open it.
Speaker 4: You know, this must be the world's first jar. How
Speaker 4: do I get this thing open? Also, this this joke
Speaker 4: about the world's first brain, isn't that funny?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Not to keep it going, and it keeps going, Yeah.
Speaker 5: I know, And it's all this level of like are
Speaker 5: we supposed to be stupid? Because then we're able to
Speaker 5: like reference all the like yeah, actual artifacts and stuff.
Speaker 5: So it's like, are we doing this ironically?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: You're also hitting a jar like you're going to open
Speaker 1: a screwtop jar, which is actually just a pull off things.
Speaker 5: I think the point was we know all these things
Speaker 5: are going to happen, and that we're supposed to just
Speaker 5: be like ironically protect like we're having a dialogue.
Speaker 3: To just we just want to trash the place.
Speaker 5: So this was supposed to be like if you paste
Speaker 5: this up and Ben and I played it with a
Speaker 5: level of like banter, like fast banter, I think it
Speaker 5: would have worked. But instead we're like kind of really
Speaker 5: playing it really saying like as if we think this
Speaker 5: it's slow, it's just not working. So I wonder if
Speaker 5: the dialogue was meant to be like hand me that
Speaker 5: we're a first jar and instead we're.
Speaker 3: Like, wow, that's the old you know. It's like it's
Speaker 3: just too intense, it's too slow, and it's it's it's
Speaker 3: an energy thing. We should this should have all been
Speaker 3: like breezy ridiculousness.
Speaker 4: Yes, you're right, you're right. You guys are if you
Speaker 4: guys are ironically having a conversation about this brain, Yes,
Speaker 4: it's it's funny ten times faster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just like can't bampam. But you don't even
Speaker 3: have time to process it.
Speaker 4: So Corey is struggling to open it. You know, Uh,
Speaker 4: how do I get this thing open? Sean has an idea,
Speaker 4: hand me the rare Phoenician mallet. Corey picks up a
Speaker 4: nearby object, and Sean explains, no, no, no, no, that's
Speaker 4: an Egyptian dental tool. He points to a different object
Speaker 4: and hits the jar with it. The tool snaps in half,
Speaker 4: and Sean sighs, Phoenician piece of crap. So we've had
Speaker 4: a damn and a crap in one episode.
Speaker 2: We're also breaking artifacts.
Speaker 4: Sean isn't bothered. I'll replace it. I see them all
Speaker 4: the time at bed bath and Phoenician.
Speaker 3: Good joke.
Speaker 4: It's a funny joke. Here, hand me the byzantine statue
Speaker 4: of King Hafaratu. Corey hands him the gold piece and
Speaker 4: Sean hits it on, hits it on the jar as
Speaker 4: hard as he can. On impact, it shatters into hundreds
Speaker 4: of pieces. Sean moves along home shopping channel. There's six
Speaker 4: billion of them left now amongst the mess. Sean easily
Speaker 4: pops the lid off the brain jar and Corey reaches
Speaker 4: in to grab it. We get some ea from the
Speaker 4: audience as the slime drips off the prop. Wow, the
Speaker 4: human brain, Corey says, the thing that separates us from
Speaker 4: the animals. Seawan agrees, because they would have an animal brain.
Speaker 4: Corey nods in agreement. I hold in my mind a.
Speaker 3: Lot of character that Corey just like, is cool with
Speaker 3: reaching in and grabbing a brain.
Speaker 4: I know it's yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, first of all, that's just a weird thing
Speaker 5: to do. That's I don't think any person would just
Speaker 5: grab it.
Speaker 4: Okay, oh why would you? There's no reason. You broke
Speaker 4: it open, put it on the floor, tip it on
Speaker 4: its side. You don't need to take the brain out.
Speaker 4: Corey nods in agreement. I hold in my hands the
Speaker 4: pinnacle of God's creation. Think fast. He chucks the brain
Speaker 4: at Sean's chest and it falls to the ground. We
Speaker 4: see it split in half. Sean asks, you want personality
Speaker 4: or motor skills?
Speaker 2: Good joke, pretty good, Joe, very very fun.
Speaker 5: That's what they wanted to get to, because that's a
Speaker 5: good joke.
Speaker 4: To your idea or to your note earlier, where you
Speaker 4: were like, we know all of this is going to happen,
Speaker 4: Why then do you act? Why is it bad or
Speaker 4: shocking or surprising? When it splits in half, like now
Speaker 4: we've really done some damage to it, Like as if
Speaker 4: just opening it on its own wasn't bad enough. I
Speaker 4: don't know it just in this moment it felt like, oops,
Speaker 4: we may have gone too far and why? But why?
Speaker 4: Why is this too far? Anyway? We're in Phoenie's classroom.
Speaker 4: Phoene is teaching his students about energy when Eric, who's
Speaker 4: in the back of the classroom, slams his hand on
Speaker 4: his desk and shouts, Phoene, stop hiding behind your books.
Speaker 4: Phoene ignores Eric and continues his explanation on quantum physics,
Speaker 4: but Eric can see right past the facade. Oh, Phoenie
Speaker 4: you're in pain, Phoene snaps Eric, you're not even in
Speaker 4: this class. Nevertheless, Eric wages on, but someone who is
Speaker 4: perfect fine does not let some world famous, super duper
Speaker 4: explorer guy who's five times the man you'll ever be,
Speaker 4: swoop in and take your booty. Feenie angrily shouts, she
Speaker 4: is not my booty.
Speaker 1: I love you, and then he's like coming's like coming,
Speaker 1: the audience, like the his classroom. Down'm like, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: such a great beat.
Speaker 4: He is embarrassed by his outburst, but tells Eric and
Speaker 4: if she was my booty, I would prefer not to
Speaker 4: talk about my booty in front of the entire class.
Speaker 4: Eric breaks it to him, Look, come on, Phoenie, everybody knows.
Speaker 4: Phoenie insists, no one knows. I have behaved in a
Speaker 4: manner befitting a man of my situation. Eric decides to
Speaker 4: ask the class himself. Okay, who here knows who? Feenie
Speaker 4: loves the whole class, yells in unison.
Speaker 2: The dean.
Speaker 3: So they don't have to get paid.
Speaker 4: Yep, don't worry, we would never pay all those people.
Speaker 4: Foene points to the door. All right, everybody out now alone.
Speaker 4: Eric tries to assure him just rooting for you, mister Feoene.
Speaker 4: Why won't you make your move? Phoeney explains Eric. In
Speaker 4: a world that is not run by savages, there is
Speaker 4: such a thing as decorum. Now, decorum would suggest that
Speaker 4: a gentleman allow a lady to resolve an old relationship
Speaker 4: before he endangers her in a new one. Eric argues, yes,
Speaker 4: but see, you're already in a new relationship. You're in
Speaker 4: a triangle, Feene. Eric makes a triangle with his fingers.
Speaker 4: Do you make a square?
Speaker 2: Do you make a square that's become a meme? That trying?
Speaker 2: Rachel yell yah.
Speaker 4: Eric makes a square with his fingers and takes it,
Speaker 4: and take it from somebody who's been in a triangle
Speaker 4: before he who hesitates is lost. Eric realizes his pain
Speaker 4: and screams Rachel child. Phoene's concerned, but Eric and says,
Speaker 4: I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm fine, I'm just like you.
Speaker 4: This terrifies Foene. Oh dear, I don't want to be
Speaker 4: like you, and Eric starts sobbing, and then we're back
Speaker 4: in the science lab. Sean is still holding the split brain. Cory,
Speaker 4: you at a perfectly good world's first brain, and now
Speaker 4: look at it. Corey says, he's sorry, Sean Hansom see
Speaker 4: like this part. What so Sean handsom the brain and
Speaker 4: asks for help. Well, here, just like smash it back
Speaker 4: together and put it back in the jar. Corey nods
Speaker 4: and casually throws the brain back in the jar. You
Speaker 4: know what, I better hide this because then on c
Speaker 4: he drops the glass jar onto another glass jar and
Speaker 4: it is a shattered mess. This is the same kind
Speaker 4: of broken jars.
Speaker 1: A lot of broken jars, and it's the same kind
Speaker 1: of problem we had in the Godfather scene where it's
Speaker 1: like it's funny dialogue and funny stuff happening. That's just
Speaker 1: it's way too long. Yeah, they keep cutting back. They're
Speaker 1: still in the thing and still with the brain. After
Speaker 1: the Phoenix, it's like, okay, we're still on this.
Speaker 4: When if you were really pulling a keeper, you'd be
Speaker 4: in and out as fast as you could possibly be.
Speaker 4: You do what you needed to do, and you'd get
Speaker 4: out of it. And you know, thinking back to like
Speaker 4: you and you writer saying that you feel like you
Speaker 4: weren't committed to it, these questions were asked because even
Speaker 4: though it's maybe it's funny when you're the actor in it,
Speaker 4: and you're just looking for I need threads of reality
Speaker 4: to hold on to to. I can circle around them
Speaker 4: with with hilarity, but I need to know what the
Speaker 4: thread of reality is? Is this the plan? Like, what's
Speaker 4: the plan with the are we go?
Speaker 3: Are we is?
Speaker 4: Our plan to break the brain?
Speaker 3: I got the fix? This is the fix?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: To Panga and Angela are they're trying to stop, They're like,
Speaker 5: this is too far, this is too much.
Speaker 3: What are you guys doing?
Speaker 5: And we're lecturing them on how to be good you know,
Speaker 5: schemers and we're breaking everything so you're able to have
Speaker 5: the tension.
Speaker 3: You guys are like, don't know, put that down? That
Speaker 3: could be the first human brand, could it? Oh right?
Speaker 5: You know, and like we're being the kooky ones. Well,
Speaker 5: you guys are the thread of reality being like this
Speaker 5: is a stupid plan?
Speaker 4: Is the best a bad idea?
Speaker 3: And then you have something to.
Speaker 5: Do And then in the reveal scene you could be saying, oh,
Speaker 5: that actually worked. You know, there's a turn for your characters,
Speaker 5: like I can't believe it. We're instead this is all
Speaker 5: just like inevitable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have I would have even taken that
Speaker 1: idea and gone even farther where I would have had
Speaker 1: the entire episode. The two people that are trying to
Speaker 1: get them together and scheming but bad at it are
Speaker 1: Angela and Panga, and it's and it's Sean and Corey like, ah,
Speaker 1: I'm never going to be able to do this by themselves,
Speaker 1: Like it's that and them having like the caper or
Speaker 1: trying to pull off a caper and just being bad
Speaker 1: at it is actually really funny.
Speaker 2: And then it's the boys kind of showing them how
Speaker 2: to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the girls just want to dance.
Speaker 4: So that's just to writer's point though, if it had
Speaker 4: been that we were that, maybe we were saying, like,
Speaker 4: you cannot do this. You're like, we never do anything.
Speaker 4: We don't We're not going to ruin anything that bad,
Speaker 4: we just said. And then it's an accident, right, yeah.
Speaker 2: Even though we can fix this crash.
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly, there's a couple of little fixes.
Speaker 1: That could have that could have happened, but it seem
Speaker 1: like they're literally just going in and trashing all this
Speaker 1: really priceless stuff.
Speaker 4: Yes, and then, for whatever reason, the brain separating is
Speaker 4: one step too far amongst the plan of already breaking stuff,
Speaker 4: so that loses much.
Speaker 3: Change in this the whole scene.
Speaker 5: It's two scenes, and all that happens is we walk in,
Speaker 5: break something to release a bee and open a window.
Speaker 5: Those are the only actual changes, right. Everything else is
Speaker 5: non change and it takes.
Speaker 3: Like two Yeah, it's like that's just the problem. And
Speaker 3: so if they had and so they're trying to cre
Speaker 3: attention because.
Speaker 5: They came up with some good jokes, you know, the
Speaker 5: finish and this the brain thing, the skills, and they
Speaker 5: just got hooked on those jokes and they were like, well,
Speaker 5: how do I pick.
Speaker 4: This work right? Corey's eyes widen. Uh oh, Sean walks over. Oh,
Speaker 4: he broke another jar. Wonder what was in that one.
Speaker 4: Suddenly we hear a loud buzz. Sean admits, whoa, that
Speaker 4: is one of angry bee. Corey fights on forget the bee,
Speaker 4: on to phase two. He points at the window. Sean smirks, yeah,
Speaker 4: how about we open a window for some air. Corey
Speaker 4: tries to stop him. Wait a minute, Sean won't opening
Speaker 4: a window set off alarm. And just as Sean opens
Speaker 4: the window and alarm goes off, Sean sarcastically comments, almost
Speaker 4: like this was part of their plan. Oh man, we
Speaker 4: never learn anything, do we, Corey responds, unbothered, no, And
Speaker 4: now the teacher from next door is gonna hear that alarm.
Speaker 4: Sean continues, and he's gonna come in here all mad.
Speaker 4: Corey adds, like they've seen it hundreds of times before.
Speaker 4: I know how this will end. And I wonder who
Speaker 4: that teacher's gonna be on cue. Phoene comes running through
Speaker 4: the door. Both Corey and Sean continue to go through
Speaker 4: the robotic motions. Oh no, it's feene The professor is concerned.
Speaker 4: What's going on in here? Corey says nothing, and Sean
Speaker 4: unconvincingly states, we didn't break this stuff. Phoene asks, well,
Speaker 4: who did? And Corey shouts you did, and both boys
Speaker 4: run out of the room and lock the door. Feeney
Speaker 4: yells and pounds on the door, but the boys are gone,
Speaker 4: and then we're back in the apartment. Rachel's in a
Speaker 4: tight black dress spinning around the living room.
Speaker 2: Dan's night, it's night.
Speaker 4: Can't wait to go out? Come on out, Jack, I
Speaker 4: want to see how good you look. Jack awkwardly appears
Speaker 4: and gives a little wave. How you doing. Rachel gives
Speaker 4: him a confused look, okay, something's different. Jack waves it off. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and we're going out. Let's go, but Rachel stops him.
Speaker 4: Oh wait a second, you're tall. Jack shrugs it off. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so are you. Let's go. Jack starts walking toward the door,
Speaker 4: but Rachel pulls him back. No, I mean I'm looking
Speaker 4: straight ahead and suddenly you're in my field of vision.
Speaker 4: What did you do? Jack reveals I'm standing up straight.
Speaker 4: You know me, I'm a schlump. I'm a real downlooker. Well,
Speaker 4: let's go. He tries to run for the door, but
Speaker 4: Rachel stops him again. She notices something. What's on your feet?
Speaker 4: Jack calmly responds, my dancing shoes. We pulled out to
Speaker 4: show that Jack, they looks like Herman Munster shir.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. The only thing missing are the bolts in his neck. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's crazy.
Speaker 4: We pull out to show that Jack is wearing shoes
Speaker 4: with a six inch lift. Rachel rolls her eyes. Ugh,
Speaker 4: I can't believe this. You bought elevator shoes. Jack quickly responds,
Speaker 4: they're not elevator shoes. The guy never called them elevator shoes.
Speaker 4: Rachel asks, oh, what did he call them? Jack answers manly.
Speaker 2: Step ups good line.
Speaker 4: Rachel realizes what's going on here. That's why you didn't
Speaker 4: want to go out with me, because you're too embarrassed
Speaker 4: to be seen with me because I'm so tall. Jack
Speaker 4: tries to act oblivious. What are you talking about? Rachel
Speaker 4: explains my whole life, I've been the tall one, the
Speaker 4: bean pole. Hey stilts, how's the weather up there? But
Speaker 4: Jack insists you're crazy. You know why I didn't want
Speaker 4: to go out with you because I thought they'd say, hey,
Speaker 4: look at the model with that shrimp. Rachel doesn't get it.
Speaker 4: What are you talking about? You've never been worried about
Speaker 4: this before when we've been out, He says, yeah, but
Speaker 4: we've only ever been out as friends. I never really
Speaker 4: thought about this until we got together, you know what.
Speaker 4: To be honest, I never thought you'd be interested in me.
Speaker 4: Rachel reveals, well, I am interested in you Jack. She
Speaker 4: looks down at his shoes, but not in those. Jack
Speaker 4: sits down to take them off. You know what, I
Speaker 4: would love to go dancing? Her eyes light up. Really,
Speaker 4: you mean in front of everybody? Jack nods yes, in
Speaker 4: front of the whole world. All right, let's dance. He
Speaker 4: takes Rachel's hand and they walk right out the door
Speaker 4: and into the elevator, where an old lady is waiting.
Speaker 4: As they walk in, she screams, she's too tall for you.
Speaker 4: Jack stares at the woman, embarrassed as the elevator doors close.
Speaker 1: And that when they were standing next to each other
Speaker 1: in the elevator, she looks like she's three feet taller.
Speaker 3: Than he is.
Speaker 1: So they had to have leaning back and put her
Speaker 1: in something. And I mean they're they're definitely trying to
Speaker 1: play it up because there he's not five seven there
Speaker 1: and she's not five ten there.
Speaker 4: Just no way, no way. So yeah, so funny. Well,
Speaker 4: we're back in the science storage lab. Phoene is holding
Speaker 4: the brain in his hand the third time.
Speaker 2: Third time back in the lab. Get back in the lab.
Speaker 2: People back in the lab.
Speaker 4: Phoene is holding the brain in his hand, trying to
Speaker 4: wipe it clean. Just as Dean Bolander walks into the room.
Speaker 4: She's followed by Sean and Corey, and then Tapanga and
Speaker 4: Angela are there as well. Dean Bolander yells George and
Speaker 4: mister Fie. He insists he didn't do this. The Dean admits,
Speaker 4: I didn't believe them. When they told me. But it's
Speaker 4: hard to argue with something that's right in front of
Speaker 4: your face. Corey adds, yeah, we're just as shocked as
Speaker 4: you are. Dean Phoene begins to panic. Now look, this
Speaker 4: is insane. Sean yells at him to put the brain down.
Speaker 4: Dean Bolander asks, what in Heaven's name were you thinking
Speaker 4: when you did this. Phenie insists I didn't do it.
Speaker 4: They did, and he points to Sean and Corey the
Speaker 4: boy's gasp. Corey is shocked. Pearls, mister Feenie, we are insulted.
Speaker 4: Sean and I have been upstairs selling muffins for the underprivileged.
Speaker 4: Phoene says that's not true. The boys were down here
Speaker 4: with him. He points at to Panga. You wouldn't lie
Speaker 4: for him. Where was he to? Panga recites he's been
Speaker 4: selling muffins all day. Angela robotically joins in, so was Sean.
Speaker 4: Sean is proud. We're legitimate. Now, Dean Bolander asks, why
Speaker 4: did you do this? George Eric, who we learn is
Speaker 4: also in the room and must have snuck in with
Speaker 4: the girls.
Speaker 1: Shuls If from No, It's it's like like when Shin
Speaker 1: gave us that card, and all of a sudden, I
Speaker 1: was holding a queen just there.
Speaker 2: Eric, is it from nowhere? Yep?
Speaker 4: Uh, you know something, Dean, this was simply just an
Speaker 4: act of love culminating in an act of vandalism. It
Speaker 4: actually happens all the time. Dean Bolander wants to know
Speaker 4: an act of love? Was this an act of love?
Speaker 4: George Peeney looks around and sees Sean Corey nodding their heads.
Speaker 4: He reluctantly admits yeah, and then nods his head with
Speaker 4: more confidence. Yep. I wonder if Stewart had just said
Speaker 4: it was an act of love, if Dean Bolander.
Speaker 2: Exactly yeah, you'd never know.
Speaker 4: I mean this idea that the dean of the school.
Speaker 2: You you went in and destroyed all these priceless artifacts
Speaker 2: for really a man's career for me, and destroyed this invention.
Speaker 4: For the next so hot it makes no sense.
Speaker 2: Not I like it is Adam Jensen got you did he.
Speaker 3: Just go.
Speaker 2: He got arrested for felonies vandalism.
Speaker 5: I mean it is in the Corey Stewart storyline. That
Speaker 5: is Corey's argument, right, Like I hit him out of
Speaker 5: an act of love.
Speaker 4: I had to protect my my pro property.
Speaker 2: But that makes sense.
Speaker 1: That at least makes sense some guys, you know, being
Speaker 1: inappropriate with your woman punching that guy in the face,
Speaker 1: that makes sense.
Speaker 2: This makes no sense whatsoever.
Speaker 4: And then Curtis walks into the room. All right, nobody move,
Speaker 4: where's my bee? The Dan asks be? What be? And
Speaker 4: Curtis reveals my bee. It's my discovery.
Speaker 3: Corey the school and doesn't know what discovery?
Speaker 5: What you come here to lecture your great discovery?
Speaker 4: I don't know what baby? Why didn't he say what bee?
Speaker 4: Like Cory and Sean me?
Speaker 3: Anybody what bee?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4: Corey knows what happened and says to Sean, uh oh.
Speaker 4: Curtis feverishly searches the room. It's an African killer bee.
Speaker 4: I've been searching for it for years. Sean laughs, Curtis,
Speaker 4: you've been out of town a little too long. Those
Speaker 4: African killer bees are swarming all over the country. They're
Speaker 4: doing Philly next Tuesday. Curtis explains, this bee has a
Speaker 4: reverse by migration pattern. We made that species with the
Speaker 4: killer bees that are already here. They start migrating back
Speaker 4: to where they originated from, saving thousands of lives. I
Speaker 4: could be rich. Then again we hear the sound of
Speaker 4: a bee buzzing. Everyone freaks out and Eric yells everybody relaxed,
Speaker 4: I'll kill it and reaches.
Speaker 2: For what they throw in rich I know, because they.
Speaker 3: Wanted to be a bad guy.
Speaker 2: It's what does he do for a living?
Speaker 4: He's an archaeol archaeologist?
Speaker 3: So what is that?
Speaker 2: Hunts bees? I know, that's that's what he's after.
Speaker 4: He's after a bee with a migration adventure hunter hunt.
Speaker 4: He says, he's he's he's what's the guy who they
Speaker 4: do all the.
Speaker 1: Indian and thank you to all the batman you know.
Speaker 3: Schmidt scared of spiders and.
Speaker 2: Throws a rope around.
Speaker 4: Skirt spiders. Curtis jumps up and takes the small piece
Speaker 4: out of Eric's hands. No, don't touch that bee. Dean
Speaker 4: Bolander sadly recognizes the shattered artifact. Oh, Curtis, now the
Speaker 4: statue of King Hafaratu you gave me for our anniversary.
Speaker 4: It's broken, Curtis, isn't.
Speaker 3: Why is it in this closet?
Speaker 2: Then? Why is it also hollow?
Speaker 1: And why is is he giving He's giving her ancient and.
Speaker 3: She doesn't keep it at that house?
Speaker 1: No, clool S in the Science Science Archeology room at
Speaker 1: Penbrook University.
Speaker 4: And then, because we needed to further show he's a
Speaker 4: bad guy, the hell with the statue. This stuff is
Speaker 4: nothing but junk compared to that bee. Dean Bolander gasps,
Speaker 4: this is junk, and right at that moment, the bee
Speaker 4: lands on the Dean's neck. Curtis whispers, don't move the
Speaker 4: bees on you. Dean Bolander reminds him, Oh, Curtis, you
Speaker 4: know I'm allergic to bees. Curtis couldn't care less, so
Speaker 4: you puff up for a little while. This is my
Speaker 4: Nobel prize. Phoene slams his towel on the table and yells,
Speaker 4: I don't think so, Curtis. He heroically grabs the bee, which.
Speaker 3: Was a real nest.
Speaker 1: I have a I have a quick science question. Don't
Speaker 1: bees die once they sting you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what happens.
Speaker 1: But I know, he says for a while, so it's
Speaker 1: like he doesn't want the bee to sting her.
Speaker 4: Because then the bee is going to do That's what
Speaker 4: I thought. I was like, he should be doing everything
Speaker 4: to be like.
Speaker 2: To make sure that care of this bee. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: They needed him to be a villain to her, so
Speaker 5: you could see his true colors.
Speaker 3: He doesn't actually.
Speaker 4: Want her, does and really care about her?
Speaker 1: Do you think you just when you have to make bees,
Speaker 1: you just put on like put him in a little
Speaker 1: room together and then put on like some Marvin Gay
Speaker 1: and you just see what happened.
Speaker 4: And really try like that. Yeah, exactly, You've never never
Speaker 4: thought about.
Speaker 5: They butt waggle to communicate to one another. A bee
Speaker 5: can waggle its butt and other bees will know how
Speaker 5: far the source of pollen is and where which direction
Speaker 5: it is just by the way they waggle their butts.
Speaker 3: It's a whole like yeah, really cool.
Speaker 1: Thank I just talked with the bees in my house,
Speaker 1: which I assigned a treaty with the bees. So if
Speaker 1: the bees this is years ago, Susan knows about it.
Speaker 1: She's a bee.
Speaker 2: No no, no, this is outside. With the number of bees.
Speaker 2: If any of them go in the pool and are dying,
Speaker 2: we have to save them, and then the pact is
Speaker 2: then they don't sting any of us, so nobody gets
Speaker 2: stung around the house and we save the bees. It's
Speaker 2: been a pack that's been We're twenty five years into
Speaker 2: this pact right now. So it's been been holding Well.
Speaker 4: It's nobody's been stung at your house.
Speaker 2: Nobody's been stung.
Speaker 1: We save bees every day, so we we've got with
Speaker 1: a very symbiotic relationship.
Speaker 5: But it's I've not had children running around your house
Speaker 5: because that's when gets stung. Oh really, Oh yeah, it's
Speaker 5: always it's always the kids who are like, like.
Speaker 3: That's not going to calm the bee down.
Speaker 4: That's how it's like splashing the bee. I'm like, you're
Speaker 4: just making the bee angry. Just let the bee.
Speaker 2: Are you afraid of bees too? Or is it just spiders?
Speaker 4: No, No, just spiders.
Speaker 1: A bee that can actually sting you, that doesn't bother
Speaker 1: you at all. It's flying with a little hypodermic needle
Speaker 1: and that doesn't freak you out. But despite a tiny
Speaker 1: spider in front of you, and you grip my arm
Speaker 1: until there's blood that appears.
Speaker 4: Where were we recently when that happened again?
Speaker 1: The car somewhere the airport and you grabbed onto me
Speaker 1: like we were about to be in.
Speaker 4: A spider dropping down from the roof, the smallest little spice,
Speaker 4: the size of a piece of dust, And I said,
Speaker 4: why does this always happen to me freaking out. He
Speaker 4: Win says, oh the bee stings, mister Feeney. He wins
Speaker 4: is out O. Then he hands the bee to Curtis.
Speaker 4: I think this belongs to you. I'll return the stinger
Speaker 4: as soon as it works its way out of my flesh.
Speaker 4: Curtis pleads with the insect. No, no, no, no, don't die,
Speaker 4: don't die quick? Where's the zoology department? All the students
Speaker 4: point in different directions, and Curtis runs out with the
Speaker 4: ailing bee in his hands. Eric exclaims, ha, that guy's
Speaker 4: a dope man. Dean Bolander grabs Phoene's hands in hers. George,
Speaker 4: that's the most wonderful thing anyone's ever done for me.
Speaker 4: Phoene promises, I wouldn't let anything harm you. Lila. I
Speaker 4: hope you know. I hope you feel the same way
Speaker 4: about me. She asks, what took you so long? Eric,
Speaker 4: from the side advises his teacher kiss her Pheoene. Phoene
Speaker 4: says all right and grabs Dean Bolander and kisses her.
Speaker 4: All the students and the audience members start clapping and cheering.
Speaker 2: Whoo.
Speaker 4: Corey explains to Sean, now this is a beautiful moment.
Speaker 4: Sean adds, what's even more beautiful. It's the first time
Speaker 4: we've ever gotten away with anything in our lives. They
Speaker 4: give each other five and we optical.
Speaker 2: Definitely.
Speaker 4: We're back in the student union. Sean and Corey are
Speaker 4: in orange jumpsuits scrubbing the windows. Corey says we've watched
Speaker 4: seven hundred and thirty four windows so far, and Sean asks,
Speaker 4: how did this blow up in our face? Corey says
Speaker 4: he doesn't know we had Phoene scammed. Sean admits, yeah,
Speaker 4: Pheene was nothing but a chick is tough. Dean Bolander
Speaker 4: and Feenie are sitting at a nearby cafe table. The
Speaker 4: Dean reaches for Phoene's hand and he winces. Dean Bolander asks, oh,
Speaker 4: does it still hurt? Phoene says a little. She asks
Speaker 4: you want me to Phoene cuts her off. Oh please,
Speaker 4: Then Dean Bolander kisses his hand and smiles. Phoene admits
Speaker 4: all better. He tells her he wants to thank her
Speaker 4: again for going easy on the boys, and Dean Bolander responds, Oh, George,
Speaker 4: one of the reasons I was attracted to you was
Speaker 4: because I've never seen a teacher whose students were willing
Speaker 4: to go to such lengths to see him happy. Phoene asks,
Speaker 4: you never actually thought I was the perpetrator. Dean Bolander
Speaker 4: assures him, Oh, I have no doubt that you're capable
Speaker 4: of acting with reckless abandon. Phoene smiles, Oh I am.
Speaker 4: I am. Eric, also in an orange jumpsuit, interrupts their
Speaker 4: date and sits down next to them. This is great,
Speaker 4: isn't it. I mean you love him, he loves you.
Speaker 4: I love you both. We're a triangle now, Dean, there's
Speaker 4: something you should know. Phenie and I like to hang
Speaker 4: out quite a bit, so I'm ever around and you
Speaker 4: guys are getting frisky. Peenie gets up and grabs Eric
Speaker 4: Eric's chair while he rambles on or whatever it is
Speaker 4: that you guys do. I'm going to need some kind
Speaker 4: of a signal to know that it's my time. This
Speaker 4: will work, he admits, as Phoeney pulls him out of
Speaker 4: his chair and drags him away.
Speaker 2: And then the girls get in trouble. They did as
Speaker 2: much as Eric did.
Speaker 3: They didn't initiate the plane. No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean Eric's standing with the two of them over there,
Speaker 1: he didn't.
Speaker 2: They were dancing correct, we went dancing.
Speaker 4: I went dancing, So the worst thing we did.
Speaker 1: Was li.
Speaker 2: But that's the same worst thing that Eric did.
Speaker 5: Eric, Eric the dolousands and thousands of lives from Yeah,
Speaker 5: prob killer problems.
Speaker 3: Sad it's gonna solve.
Speaker 4: Well, we're back in the apartment. The elevator door opens
Speaker 4: and it's Jack and Rachel returning from their date. Jack admits,
Speaker 4: I don't know what I was thinking. We are perfect
Speaker 4: for each other. Another old lady neighbor watches as they
Speaker 4: walk to their apartment. Rachel greets her, Hi, Missus burtleson.
Speaker 4: Then the lady burts out, she's too tall for you.
Speaker 4: As she enters the elevator. Jack tries to run after her,
Speaker 4: but Rachel stops him. Jack, you said you were gonna
Speaker 4: You said you weren't gonna let this bother you. Okay.
Speaker 4: Jack dusts himself off and agrees it's no problem. I'm okay.
Speaker 4: Then Jack yells at the closed elevator, I hope the
Speaker 4: cable breaks. Missus birtles and Rachel.
Speaker 2: That was really funny in this.
Speaker 1: He didn't have a lot to do, but he's really funny.
Speaker 1: He's also one of those guys who his physical comedy
Speaker 1: he does. It comes from an awkward place. When he
Speaker 1: does his physical comedy. I can think he does it
Speaker 1: on purpose, and it works.
Speaker 4: It's so funny.
Speaker 2: It actually works for him. He's really good at it.
Speaker 4: Rachel ushers him back inside the apartment. Jack, why don't
Speaker 4: we go inside and make us snugly? Jack agrees, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm not too short for that. Rachel smirks.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: When they open the apartment door they see someone wearing
Speaker 4: a ski mask stealing their boombox. Jack grabs a back,
Speaker 4: Hey cow, many closer and all club yeah. Jack lifts
Speaker 4: up the perpetrator's ski mask like you do, like you do,
Speaker 4: And it's another short, old lady. Who is this landlord?
Speaker 2: It's just hot chicks and old women. Welcome to our building.
Speaker 5: This is a.
Speaker 4: And some college kids.
Speaker 2: And some college kids. That's all we have.
Speaker 1: There's this apartment is for the thirty seven beautiful women,
Speaker 1: and then every other apartment is just old ladies.
Speaker 2: That's what it is.
Speaker 4: Well, the old lady burglar predictably says she's too tall
Speaker 4: for you and walks out with the electronic. Rachel pats
Speaker 4: Jack on the head while he just stands there in shock.
Speaker 4: There's your program there's your programs.
Speaker 3: Done without the without the tag I think.
Speaker 1: But that's the part you could have done with is
Speaker 1: just without the tags a good episode.
Speaker 5: I started this recap much more positive than Somehow, in
Speaker 5: the course of listening to recap everything, I hated all
Speaker 5: of it.
Speaker 4: So I did not like it as much in the
Speaker 4: recap I did watching it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like, what's the version of breaks in
Speaker 5: a Burglar Old Lady? We have stun the burglar old Lady.
Speaker 4: It's like a lot of like, don't ask any questions
Speaker 4: at all.
Speaker 3: But you know, I did enjoy it watching it last
Speaker 3: year's so you know.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons why though, and it's true, is
Speaker 1: because these last couple of episodes have been so dramatic
Speaker 1: and heavy. I know that the guys just holding a
Speaker 1: broken brain. Great, let's throw a pie.
Speaker 5: I also just think the performances, you know, are actually fun,
Speaker 5: Like it's actually like everybody's except for me and Ben
Speaker 5: in that scene, I feel like it's breezy, it's fun,
Speaker 5: and everybody keeps it moving, so you don't really notice,
Speaker 5: like you.
Speaker 3: Don't actually stop to think, why are the bees? Why
Speaker 3: the thing?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you break it down actually, beat by beat.
Speaker 1: It's it's not as funny as letting it wash over you.
