Before we jump into our Pod Meets World 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:28.720 recap of season two, episode three, Notorious, Um, we wanted 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:33.000 to briefly mentioned that, Um, boy Meets World and Girl 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.839 Meets World has lost a very special person in our world, 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:44.160 Matthew Nelson. Um. He was a writer on What's what season? 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:48.239 Did Matt start season two? Season three, It's a little later, 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:52.800 three three, Boy Meets World, I think, and then was 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.120 there through the end, and then was there for all 0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:00.560 three seasons of Girl Meets World and became one of 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.960 the central voices of Boymouth World and Girlmate's World. He 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.280 is one of the you know, pillars of the writing 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.920 staff always um and just a break guy and then 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.400 just yeah, I mean beyond the creative input that he had, 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.720 was just like the the nicest, most loving, most most supportive, 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.000 the kindest man. I'm going to miss him like crazy. 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:27.199 I had no idea he was ill. Um, I didn't. 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.960 I didn't know he was he was that ill. He 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.800 He and I wrote a aspect pilot together right before 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.800 the pandemic a little you know, it was like nineteen 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.040 something like that. And Um, he had mentioned that he 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.240 was ill, but didn't know how badly. Um. And then 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.679 it was it and then you lose touch over the pandemic. 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.560 Everybody kind of goes their own way. We'd finished the 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.880 pilot and then it was you just heard he was gone, 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.720 and it was yes, awful. Yeah. I found out about it. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.520 I saw someone else that we're close to had posted 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.960 about it on social media, and I reached out to 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.960 Jeff Minnell, who UM listeners of the podcast would obviously 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.160 know too, because he's Jeff Minell, one of the other 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.240 writers who came on, and they were very, very very close. 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.160 Matt Nelson and Jeff Minell were best friends, and UM 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.640 Minnell was very close to him in this this last 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.560 period of his life when he was sick, and I 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.720 reached out to him, and you know, it was a 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.120 little like sent a desperate email, like, please tell me 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.360 it isn't true, and he got back to me saying 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.040 that it is. And UM writer, like you said, as 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.119 far as just being one of the just kindest, most 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.840 generous people, like he was so willing to help any 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:39.839 one of us with absolutely anything outside of work. And 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:45.639 Um loved writing, loved comedy, loved people who wanted to write, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.440 and and was happy to proof read stuff, and and 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.799 and loved our show, loved and loved our characters. There's 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.040 so much commitment to the world of What Meets World 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.440 and eventually gos World. Um yea yeah, you always got 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.960 the sense of Matt just cared above and beyond the job. 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.840 Um cared about us as people, as individuals. Like my 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.040 first episode directing was on Girl Mean World, his episode 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.960 nine three, and he was so happy. First of all 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.120 he did, he was always so gracious and always so supportive, 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.280 and he was so happy. He was like all he 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.240 expressed to me. He was like, I'm so happy you're 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.440 directing my episode. And he just made me feel so good. 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.720 And you know, of course I was nervous as hell, 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.200 and he made me feel so supported and that you know, 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:28.880 I could do no wrong, and that if anything, he 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.040 was honored that I was directing his episode. Just like, 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.720 oh man, such a bummer. Um wait, and when we 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.520 start getting into boy, when we start getting into his episodes, 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.960 there's you're gonna know what they are. There's a real 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.520 voice to a Nelson episode. We always knew when it 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.720 was in Matt Nelson episode. Well, let let me put 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.880 it this way to our listeners. Um Nelson is the 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:55.200 person who wrote perhaps the most famous epic lines from 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.840 Boy Me World, which were fine The's last words of advice. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:02.600 Those were his um dream try do good. Um. That 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.400 was in his episode, and that was originally in his 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.720 draft of the script. I know because we had a 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.400 whole conversation about it because I told him that there 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.440 were fans out there who had gotten tattoos of that, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.800 and he was so um so excited. But yeah, so, 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.599 I mean that is like distilled Matt Nelson. Um, just 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.599 such a wonderful soul. Yeah, I mean he will. He 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.200 will be greatly missed and a lot of love to 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:36.039 his family and everyone who is close to him. All right, 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.479 he's ready to jump into a recap. He would have 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.680 been the first one that would have gone and transition 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:45.360 to comedy. Optical flip Optical would have been the first 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.080 one to write the perfect line for there. Yeah, there 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:52.240 you go. Well, welcome to Pod Meets World. I'm Daniel Fishel, 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.240 I'm right or Strong, and I'm Wilfred ll. Here we 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.000 are talking about season two, episode three, Notorious. It originally 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:03.320 aired October seve The synopsis is that Sean tries to 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.039 make a name for himself by pulling a prank in 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.880 the school newspaper, and then Corey is forced to cover 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.479 for him. Eric also dates a news senior. Eric is 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.680 dating a girl. No, they're a different way. Yeah, it's 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.240 a whole new thing for him. It's a whole new Week's, 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.039 a whole new season, a whole new Eric. We're going 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.640 to try girl crazy. It's funny because a lot of 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.560 the show has chance. It evolved, but not that much. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.400 Not so much this one. We'll get into it. But 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.159 this one is not only is he going crazy but 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:37.520 also stupid. It's a combination of the two. Yeah, this 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.799 is true because this is this is one of the first, 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:44.640 like I noticed, like the real stupid jokes we remember 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.680 it ever starting this early. Neither neither Well, it's the 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.240 stupid in my head that I didn't get. So no, no, no, no, 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.839 what Eric do now? So is the inaugural line like 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.520 our neighbors to the north, because that was the one 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.559 that struck me when you said that line, I was like, oh, Eric, dumb. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.400 I think it started with the trying to open the door. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.719 That's what I noticed was but to try and open 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:10.040 the door happened after writers writers, when you leaving leaving 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.960 the room, and yeah, the neighbors to the north and 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.280 north as while you're starting, So yeah, it really did 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.960 start with like, oh, and yet the way he kind 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.520 of delivered it though, I almost thought, well, at least 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.320 they're our neighbors to the north, seemed like maybe he 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.680 was kind of making a joke. He wasn't, but there 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:31.839 was at least the hint of like, maybe it's ironic. 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:37.080 But yeah, um So this episode was directed by David Trayner. 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.120 It was written by Jeff Sherman, and we have a 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.560 lot of guest stars, not me, but we have Jason 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.479 Marsden as No, I'm not I'm not you noticed, writer, 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:51.680 Thank you. Danny McNulty is back as Harley Kiner, Blake 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.880 Soaper as Joey the ratt, Ethan Supplia is Frankie, and 0:06:55.240 --> 0:07:00.480 Sydney Bennett as Desiree, Jill Novik as Molly, and Bob 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:06.280 Larkin as Janitor Bud the Larks. I don't know did 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.839 he come back? He came back? Right? Was the only Janitor? 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.400 But I don't remember. I think so well. Janitor Bud 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.040 is also in the Halloween episode, but it's a different 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.520 Janitor Bud. It is is the name Janitor budds say, yeah, 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.640 I think it's Janitor Bud. Yes see, I have this 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.160 whole like character of Janitor Bud looming large in my brain, 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.120 but I couldn't remember if it's the same actor or 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.480 the joke is that we just kept switching it up. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.000 But I guess it was probably because of this episode, right, 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:33.760 like this is where we invented remember him killing at 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.160 the table? Read? I remember that people loving his lines 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:40.239 at the table and I guess that, yeah, I do too, 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.040 And I think that's what it just worked because it 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.960 was so funny that um, because I guess really his 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.600 story function is that he's the witness too, you know 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.000 who was in the newspaper off because when I first started, 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.680 I was like, why is the janitor there? And then 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.320 it came back. Um, But I think I think we 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.280 see him quite a bit through season two and then 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.840 into season three. Yeah, I can't wait. Okay cool? Yeah, 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.160 So we get our quick little cartoon open, and then 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:09.480 we are in the school newspaper room, the journalism rooms 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.800 of that opening man right right looks like eight BI 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:21.080 Commodore A Commodore sixty four. Amazing. Uh So Corey and 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.360 Sean come walking out of a room or into a 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.560 room that says journalism, And we hear Eric and a 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:30.360 girl in the newspaper office making conspicuous sounds. That's a 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.760 good way to put it. Yeah, can starting off off 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:38.800 the bat off the bats of moans and groans and 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:43.760 what are they doing there? Season two, the Horny Boy era, 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.280 Uh so truth is Molly new character Alert, who's played 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.920 by Jill Novic is typing on the computer while Eric 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.040 gives her a neck massage. And we started dating after 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.480 this episode? Did you really Jill and I were together 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.839 for a little six seven months if they had a 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.320 crush on you exactly? And we find out about it 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:12.719 thirty years later about my dating history of Team bat people, Well, 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:18.959 it was dating everyone who came through the show a while. Really, Yeah, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.000 that's hilarious. We were together, like legitimately together for a while. 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:27.679 She played Young Seal Award on Sisters. I loved that show, 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.640 so she was Young Seal Award on that and we 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.719 just we got along. So we we we. I think 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.240 this this point is the fact that you and I 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:39.680 weren't actually that close big age difference at this time. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.880 This is and I were really hanging out and we'll 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.679 get we'll get to a funny story a little later. 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.720 But yeah, Jue and I started dating kind of during 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.600 this episode. So Corey and Sean walk in because Eric 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.360 said he would give them a ride home, and Corey 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.000 places a cage with two rats on the desk, which 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.600 scares Molly. They named the rats after themselves, Corey and Sean, 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.560 and they're studying natural selection. Corey holds the rat up 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.080 to kiss Molly and she runs out, leaving Eric to 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.040 run after the brainy girl that's into him. And then 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.480 the janitor warns Eric of a wet floor, but then 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.240 Eric slips and falls off camera. We just get the 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.480 audio of that and then his response the janitor's response 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:20.480 are just good, good, great, so funny. Um. So, Corey 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.960 and Sean, who are now alone, see the article left 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.000 on the computer and decide to change Mr Feenie's name. 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:30.200 It's introducing Mr Feenie as the school's new principle, and 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.400 they decide to change the name. Sean changes it to well. 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.400 Corey changes it first to teeny teeny, and then Sean's like, 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.080 let me at it, and he sits down and he 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:45.199 goes to Beanie Deanie Guinie Genie Leaney and then he 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:49.720 lands on Weenie. Okay, were you guys bothered by the 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.200 letting in this, like the way that the letters clearly 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.640 didn't work unless it was a W like you did 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.400 like every time it was in F. I was like, 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.800 but it doesn't. The letting is not right, the spacing 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.800 is not right. And then it goes to the W 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.000 and you're like, oh, it's like such old school computer 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.679 graphic design. Yep, I bet you. This was like cutting 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.080 edge to be able to do it was such a 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.280 big deal. And you got a hot in there too. 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:16.760 There was a hot back the first time in a while, 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.400 which we hadn't seen it. That's that's making its old come. 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.840 They like, we're gonna make this work. We're forcing it 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:26.880 into season two. And then I mean, before going back 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.040 a second to, I make a joke about cracking my 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:37.040 mom's back before, Yes, something cracker back before a strange 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.839 series of words in a row. I guess it's kind 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.040 of funny, but it's nice to know that Verna is 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.760 still around? Isn't her name? Verna still around? The joke 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.120 was supposed to be the idea of like, whoa, what 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.760 must his mother be like? If she needs her back 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:59.080 cracked before American Gladiator, Like it's like it's like this classlessness, 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.280 or if it's that she's so tough, like the the 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.560 image of like cracking a woman's back. I don't know. 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.600 I was trying to think of it, like I'm just 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.839 so curious because we're developing Shawn's home life, but I 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.200 don't know what it's. What is the picture that's developed 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.920 we we've we have established a trailer park, and we've 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.480 established in the first season, I think we established my 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:25.040 uncle that's a bee's eating Gilbert grape mother. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.640 So it's like this sad like maybe she doesn't get 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:31.520 off the couch or she's sitting sitting around often. Yeah. 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.080 I also think they're going for which was very big 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.480 in the eighties and early nineties. I think they're going 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:41.440 for a Vera Peterson thing with this so on cheers 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:46.920 Norm Peterson. You know Norm, Norm, you never saw you 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.680 just writing stories about her and her name's Verna, Vera Verna. 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.320 So I think they were kind of trying to establish 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.720 like we're just gonna have crazy stories because I distinctly 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.760 remember episodes down the line being at the monitors and 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.559 there was another Verna story, and Michael turned to the 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.920 writers and said, we can't do this. We're gonna have 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.440 to meet this woman, right right, right. So my guess 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.680 is they were trying to do like a Vera Peterson 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.520 kind of thing, where there you're going to keep saying that, 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.920 so Sean's home life is just unimaginably crazy and what 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.640 that is, whatever's gonna be weird and funny and like 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.400 sort of thrown away where you're like, what's going on 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.160 with that kid's home life? That's especially what's going on 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.439 with that kid's mom. Right, they were just going to 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.760 Vera Peterson was just going to get crazier and crazier. 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:29.400 But you were never a great way to put it. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.559 I think that's exactly what was happening. Yeah, I think 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.080 you're right. That totally makes sense. I wouldn't have thought 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:35.640 of it until you said it. Well, but you're right 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:40.840 that that really makes sense. Um, okay, so they've landed 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.960 on Weeny. Corey feels the sting of consciousness, sorry, not consciousness, 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:58.600 start again, He's conscious that was Eric. Corey feels the 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.959 sting of conscience and changes it back to feeni before 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.760 walking out. But Sean is still at the computer with 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.240 a smirk on how about that look back that I 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:13.680 guess that is who that is that is making a beat. 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.839 I know, it's like just sort of twirling my lash. 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.160 It is so over the top. Was like Jesus writer, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.400 to it down, God, to be fair. It is the 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.320 button to a scene. It's the button to the open 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:30.280 of the show. And you may have been told specifically 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:32.760 we need something, we need a real we need a 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.240 real button. That was my version of playing look about it, 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.920 thinking about the button of a scene, and it's just subtle. 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:43.160 What if it had just been you going, yeah, I'm interested. 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.640 See that's that's more because then I'm like, what's going 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.800 to happen? As opposed to me three, You're like, he's 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.560 obviously going to be an evil little kid, the awful thing. 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.560 I see your point, But I will say, and we'll 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.720 talk about it when we get there later. But I 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.040 actually was super invested in what's going to happen in 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:06.240 this episode, even though I did too. I find we 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.920 will also talk about some over the top. Of course, 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:14.360 from a little cartoon. We have real cartoony moments because 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.160 we're sitcom. Maybe it's just cartoon. I think it is 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:22.680 I I finally feel I finally felt settled, and you know, 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:24.400 maybe it's because I wasn't in it. I don't know. 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:28.000 I finally felt like, Okay, I'm I'm a little settled. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.800 I feel like I know these hallways now, I I 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.000 know I know most of these characters. And then the 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.760 new characters aren't out of left field for me. They 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.080 make sense. I felt really comfortable already with Turner. I 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.120 was like, yeah, I'm into this Turner perspective. I felt 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.320 I really liked it a new show, and now that 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.120 we've taken in the fact that it's a new show, 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.280 I'm I'm comfortable with watching it as I'm enjoying the 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.080 new show. I'm letting I'm letting season one go away 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.320 a little bit. Yeah, it's an interesting what it was. 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.320 And then moving forward, So one of the things I 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.280 was wondering, um and we should probably have back on 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:01.640 the show to ask him, it was like, what's up 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.480 with Jeff Sherman and writing Sean is like getting in trouble, 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.960 Like just like this is a but it also serves 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:12.480 as an interesting counterpoint to the fugitive and that uh there, 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.880 you know this episode doesn't it does have a hard 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.200 felt moment for Corey, but like Sean, doesn't really you know, 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.800 like I do the thing, but then it becomes not 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.080 it doesn't really have anything to do with me, Like 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:24.760 I just I was wondering and I don't even know 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.560 how we would figure this out. If this is the 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.440 only episode where a writer actually references one of their 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.560 I know, because he does. You know, ever since last 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.000 year when I blew up the mailbox? Are you kidding me? 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.320 We do that a whole bunch. They referenced their own 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:49.280 episode because he wrote the Fugitive too, right? Right? Maybe not? Hi, Christy, Hey, 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.280 will I have some unbelievable news. Oh there's a Kim 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.320 Possible roun Stoppable reunion in the works. No, no, no, 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.440 that would be great, But no, I have other big news. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.840 We just launched the super awesome contest to become the 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.240 X Big Voice Actor.

Official rules can be found by 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.280 going to our Instagram page and I Hear Voices podcasts 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.520 for complete details, listen to I Hear Voices on the 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.240 I Heart Radio app or wherever you listen to podcasts. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.480 We are in the school hallway. A bunch of kids 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:59.560 are laughing seeing the school newspaper. Harley grabs the paper 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.120 from from some of our background actors that I remembered 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:06.320 very well and right, Okay, I was like, I know 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.600 all these guys me too. It's like a whole I 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.320 I know them all, I know all their faces. Now 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.359 it's so strange, but I did so. Harley sees that 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.240 they wrote weenie instead of Phoene on the front page, 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:20.359 and he calmly says, I'm laughing, which I loved. I 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.439 loved this for his character. Harley says he would like 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.560 to meet whoever changed that name because he'd be a 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.760 great addition to the gang. And Sean walks up to 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.520 Harley and tries to tell him that he made the 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.159 headline change, but Harley acts real tough before he can 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.600 get that's great. This speaks exactly too. I feel like, 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.679 Will didn't you bring this up right as we started 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.159 season two where you were like, is there ever when 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.280 Sean like wants to be part of the tough Guys gang? Yeah, 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.560 I mean it happens. You were almost immediately like all 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.359 I want to do is be a part of their gang. Yeah. Yeah, 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.800 And it was it was perfect. It was your your 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:57.080 intro for walking over. And then I cannot tell you 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:03.240 how much I laughed at Blake's as Joey his reaction 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.440 and saying because Harley's got a whole locker full of 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:11.639 ears from guys who done the same thing, they glasses 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:17.520 hang crooked now because they ain't got no ease. He's 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:24.119 almost singing it exactly exactly. There's like a song to it, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.760 which of course we know him as a musician, and 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.320 so it makes sense. But all I could think of 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:32.040 when I watched it was, we've had this conversation before 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.920 about people who see what's written on the page and 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:40.119 just turn it into something totally just something magical. I 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:44.560 guarantee you that was something fairly straightforward on the page 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.879 that I would have never heard the way he did it, 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.280 and yet it was so unbelievably funny to me. So 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.520 I just it stood out to me. There are a 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:53.640 couple of really funny lines in this episode that really 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.720 stood out to me. You texted me about we will 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.840 get to too, because I love that moment too. To um, 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:02.720 so we'll get to that. Corey walks over to Sean 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.720 with the paper, and Corey knows he made the change 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.560 after all. Sean says he rules the school because he 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.119 did it, even though no one knows. But that's fine, 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.919 that's totally good enough for him. And then two girls 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.520 walk by and say they would do anything for the 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.520 guy who changed the headline, and Sean now says it's 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:25.880 killing him that nobody knows. That was a little It's 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.240 very sexual. It's just very sexual. I would do anything 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.639 for the guy. Who was like yikes, well and the 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:36.480 audience going, it's like, even even if it wasn't supposed 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.160 to be, which it probably was, even if it wasn't 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:41.240 supposed to be, anytime you throw in ah, it makes 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.960 it that way over the top. Yeah. Yeah. I also 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:45.960 thought it was a really interesting shot that the way 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.000 you couldn't even see the girl who was talking. You 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.480 couldn't even see her face. She was completely hidden behind 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.439 Ben and so you couldn't even see her until she 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:54.200 was like rounding the corner. And I was like, that 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.360 must have been the best take we had, but gone 0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:00.240 just use that one. We don't have anything else. Um. 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.640 So then we are in Mr Turner's classroom and Mr 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:06.040 Turner is teaching the class about the scarlet letter. He 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.800 says it's all scandal and gossip that could have been 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:11.679 out of today's headlines. And then he holds up the 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:16.200 school newspaper with Mr Weenye on it, and then Mr 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.880 Feeney walks in and says he's going room to room 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:23.119 to ask whoever pulled the newspaper prank to confess. And 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:27.840 I have a really funny admission here, he says. And 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:33.520 if he or she or they confess and my first 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:41.640 thought was how progressive I really And then I was like, oh, 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:46.000 you mean today as in more than one person that 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.280 Sean and Corey at this point. But my first, my 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:52.240 very first thought was wow, we were so progressive in 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:55.200 ninety four, But it was actually just can I ask 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:59.520 a question? And I'm just curious about this. I frankly 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.800 thought the using the scarlet letter for the first time, 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:04.520 I thought it was a bit of a stretch with 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:07.399 this storyline. I get the whole gossip thing, but the 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:12.160 scarlet Letter is very specifically based around a woman. It's 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:15.240 very specific, like the scarlet letter means something, and it 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.360 seems like just because there's gossip about changing the headline, 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.399 it seemed like a bit of a stretch to correlate 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:23.720 that to the Scarlet Letter. I don't know, it just 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:25.399
