WEBVTT - TGI - Episode 213 “Cyrano” 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:22.720 Guys, I want to show you something. Yes, good cure 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.560 for the common cold. I found them on eBay and 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.800 I bought them so that I had them. I felt 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.680 very bad about the fact that I didn't have any 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.080 and so, like I said, I would, I found them 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:37.800 and now I own them. So this is the original 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.160 and this is the super cool one. Have you given 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.960 them names yet? No, let's name them now. Who's this 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.519 one with the no skates? Hmm, no skates, boots socks 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:54.440 um boots. They're like boots, boots and socks, boots and 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.400 striped socks. Yeah, okay, I don't know what we can 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.800 come on, I'm sure that's like. My brother had a 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.920 lizard lizard and the lizard's name was Bob, and then 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.480 Bob died and we got another collared lizard. We asked 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:10.880 him what he wanted to name him, and he said 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:15.160 Bob Too're like, wow, okay, super clever. All right, so 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:22.000 Jeff and Mandy, I want writer to name this one. 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:28.160 You name Jeff and Mandy. Jeff, Yeah, all right, Well 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.559 there you go, got I got my couchlings. Awesome writer. 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.680 I just noticed you kind of scratching your armpit a 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:38.039 little bit, which leads to my pre show chatter. Okay, okay, 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:43.480 do you shave your armpits or do any kind of time? Yeah, 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.680 I'm gonna recommend you start. I know, I can't believe 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.520 you shave your armpits. It's just extra work for no, 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.560 like if if if it's it's culturally acceptable for you 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.559 to have armpit here, just have armpit because but it's, dude, 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.720 you sweat a lot less, there's less of a smell. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.920 You need a way less yodorant. It's but you have 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.000 to shave your armpits all the time. It takes two 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.720 seconds you're in the shower, two seconds you're done. Listen, 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.280 takes me two seconds. You're a pretty hairy guy, aren't you. No, No, no, hay, okay, 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.160 I'd recommend it. I'm just throwing that out there. It's 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:18.520 pretty wonderful. Also, it is probably not very likely that 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.359 for Will, anybody ever sees your armpits anyway, You don't 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.720 not like a tank top guy. No. So as far 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.200 as like anyone knowing that you shave your armpits, nobody 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.640 really knows. So when you say, writer, well it's culturally 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:33.200 acceptable for Will to have hairy armpits, no one even 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.560 knows me in a tank top, it looks like somebody 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.280 weirdly pressed a thing of toothpaste, Like it's just this 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.000 weird shaped thing with the head on the top, and like, oh, 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.119 that doesn't work. So yeah, so do you just get 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.680 in the shower and like nare from the neck down? No, 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.520 I don't nare, but I shave and it's not the 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.079 neck down. It's like, really, I don't have to worry 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.919 about the chest area, the man chest. I've never had 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.160 the vpube, so I've never had to worry about this, 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.800 but the armpits I started so bodybuilders do it, which 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.200 clearly I am. Yeah, and I was like, I'm gonna 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.160 give this a shot and I and it's life changing. 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.200 It's like you don't yeah, there's like no smell. It's amazing. Writer. 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.240 I think what you're thinking of is is the first 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.519 time weird, because yeah, there's a lot of hair there 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.240 the first time, so you may want to do like 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.919 a trimming down and then a shave with a razor, 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.240 so like you would use a beard trimmer or a 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.280 hair trimmer to like get the length gone. Yeah yeah, 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.800 and then but then after that as far as like 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.600 stubble and what regrows if you do it every day 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.680 or every other day. Yeah, it's it's you don't need 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.919 more work in my life. I don't, you know, I don't. 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:38.280 It's very hard enough for the guas shaw it is. Daniel. 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:45.400 I was like, what do you call it the quashawa? Yeah? No, 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.600 I just like you know, And I also don't mind 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.680 if women don't shave their armpits or shave their legs, 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.760 Like that's a thing for me too. Yeah, Like I 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.360 remember girls like shaving their legs at the age of thirteen. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.560 I remember being like why because if anything, then it's 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.840 like stubbly or like rough, and like it's weird. Um. 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.440 So yeah, it's never like hair. Body hair is not 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.520 a problem for me. It's never been one of those things. 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:14.480 You're also not a stinky man. No, that's good. That's good. Thanks. No, 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.040 Daniel's right there. The first time is weird, especially since 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.160 I did it on video for only fans, But the 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.400 rest of it was totally normal after that. Keeping it 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.120 up after that was fine. I do wish I had 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.800 trimmed my armpit hair a little bit before a key 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.560 scene in the movie Cabin Fever about this has been 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.440 this photograph it's like screenshot of me. It's like how 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.760 a scene opens with me with my armpits like up, 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.120 and like at that time, I just didn't care, Like 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.200 I never cared about my body. I never cared about 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.520 my body hair. I just didn't. I was just like whatever. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.960 And in retrospect, like when you're an actor, you kind 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.320 of gotta care a little bit about your Your appearance 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.839 actually kind of matters, you know, like that's part of 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.960 your job. And like, clearly I just didn't give a 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.599 crap about you do any nanscaping? Do you do any manscaping? Yeah, yeah, 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.039 a little bit, but like one it's a month or 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:02.840 you know, like every once in a while. It's not 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:07.760 like a daily routine. Yeah, well, I sent writer. I 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.719 know this answer because I sent write a writer and 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.640 I wear natural deodorant. We don't wear anything that has 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.760 like a luminium in it and whatever, and so writer 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:20.480 or no, no don't work. No, it doesn't wear. Some 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.640 stuff out there. I don't want to like bash brands, 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.360 but there's some stuff out there that definitely does not work, yes, 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.000 that I've used. Well, so what do you wear? Then? 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.440 What can I get? Because of course i'd love to 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.159 have a deodorant that doesn't have a luminium or something, 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:32.960 and it's so, what can I wear? Well, I'll actually 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.760 send it to you because I sent it to Writer 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.960 because Writer and I had talked about our natural deodorant 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.920 wearing and the one we were using, which in my opinion, 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.160 only works for a short period of time, and then 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.840 I feel like I need to reapply it, and then 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.880 I don't really want to have to do that. And 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.400 then I found one that is a cream that I 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.640 love and it comes in a glass jar and it 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.960 has a wood a little wood spoon that you scoop 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.240 it out and put it on, and it is it's 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.560 with there's charcoal in it. It is in rereadible. You 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.520 can go all day, you don't smell, you don't sweat. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.359 I really really like it, and so I sent it 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.240 to Writer and Writer was like, a cream not for 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.120 me in my armpit hair, not for me? And I 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.039 was like, okay, never mind, So I'll send it to 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.080 you well, because thank you for you will get caught 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:20.520 my armpit hair.

And uh, 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.800 we can jump right into our recap unless either of 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.760 you have any specific memories you want to talk about 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.560 off the bat. I don't, I know. No. I did 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.800 want to say for our for our fans out there 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.920 who follow our Instagram account, to show that I do 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.200 hold on to everything. I'm in the exact same Whalers Jersey. 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.520 There you go. That was just posted, So now here 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.480 you are and I wanted you to know I remember 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.640 that jersey so well. It was a favorite of yours 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.600 back then. I probably still a favorite of yours, Still 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.760 still love it. Yeah. So um. We are in mister 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.240 Turner's classroom. Mister Turner is teaching Cyrano de Bergerac, a 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.960 story of an unattractive yet well spoken man who, added 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:52.720 to the Boy Meets World book clubs the literary reference YEMM. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.680 He uses his better looking friend as a vessel to 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.240 profess love to the woman of his dreams. To Anga 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.480 thinks that is sweet and noble, but the rest of 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.160 the cast calls Cyrano a loser, or rather a dip, 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.880 which we said so much. I am so uncomfortable with 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.320 this word. Were you guys weird to help by it? 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:13.920 I was, what does it? What does it mean? I 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.360 don't know, I've never heard it. I just it's like 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.080 the second came out of my mouth. I was like, 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.960 did I just say dick? Like I was right? And 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.680 then we kept saying it, and I was like, wait, 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.840 I've heard people being called like a drip, like you 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.640 call somebody a drip in like nineteen forties insults speak, 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.640 But I've never heard dip before except this content dippy, 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.199 like you're like, you're a dip. I guess it's more 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.880 an amount of poetic than anything else where. It's like, 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.960 you're just so awkward. In the scene, I kept being like, 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.040 I'm weirded out by the use of this word. I'm 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.840 not comfortable with it. I feel like where you're swearing 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.800 without swearing. I know. I didn't like it either. I 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:50.560 didn't like it. It just made my skin crawl. I 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.720 was like, this was a big mistake, like because they 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.520 could have gone with any you know what were we 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.439 calling him? We were calling him a I don't know what, 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.439 a loser basically, right, there's there's a whole variety of 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.520 words we could have been using, but we kept going 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.480 on dip and it's repeated like five times. I was like, ooh, 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.400 I don't like it. I know. I I felt the 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.760 same way. And it was like somebody said moist seventy 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.199 five times in a scene. I was like, wow, that word. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:18.160 But you know about when we were when we were 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.839 filming this, I know how I I don't remember, but 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.600 I know invariably what I felt like was that this 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.559 must be a word that adults use all the time. 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.160 Because I always felt that way, like everything that we 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.560 were told to say or that was in the script, 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.599 you know, we were I always felt disempowered. I was 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.480 always sort of like, well, smarter people than me, with 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.679 a lot more knowledge than me, wrote these things, so 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.000 they know what they're talking about, and so I would 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.760 take that as sort of truth. So, like, I guarantee 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.240 you in my mind, saying he's a big dip and 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.360 they're a dip or whatever over and over was like, Oh, 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.240 that must be slang that you know, forty year olds 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.199 use all the time, And now I can look at 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.400 it and be like, no, no, it's not. I never 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.280 heard anybody else say that, no ever, not once. Before 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.560 we move on, I'd just like to say, very quickly, Danielle, 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.240 I am now to the point of the show or 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.160 two things. One I don't remember the episodes at all, 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.720 and two, I'm far more comforted when Tapanga is in 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.440 the scene. Yeah, so when we open up and there's 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.920 two there's that three shot and it's Tapanga and then 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.320 Corey and then Sean, it's like that's the that's a 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.800 comfort feeling for me. It's like, Okay, we're back. So 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.960 it was very nice to see you in this episode again, 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.079 and thank you when we get into it more because 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.440 it's it's very nice and comforting. Thank you. I agree 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.400 that three shot. When that happens, there's a there's a 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.440 like a cool I know where we are, like, I know, 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:35.880 I know what's going to I know what's going on. 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.920 Even though Topanga disappears very early on whatever, I don't 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:40.960 even need to stick around through the episode. But there 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.040 is something like, ah, the show is when ye, well, 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.320 the three characters in a line are perfectly descriptive. You know, 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.000 It's like Sean's in the back, yep, Corey's somewhere in 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.480 the middle, and Topanga's right right everything, and it's like 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.439 so it's like it describes the entire story and and 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.720 and this the spectrum of the characters are laid out 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.880 perfickly and whenever you turn back around to explain something 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.080 to us, this is a great dynamic. Yeah. Yeah, I 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.120 still want the classroom to be the other way. I know, 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.480 still uncomfortable, but you know, but this helps, this helps. Yeah, yeah, 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.560 I agree. So Tapanga and Sean banter back and forth, 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.840 and Topanga eventually says boys will never understand passion romance 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.520 and women men will spend half their life confused and 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:27.120 the other half paying alimony and b versus girl episode. Yeah, 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.720 a lot of a lot of men just don't get 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.840 these ways. That's all this episode is, and we'll get 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:33.800 into that later. I hate what they're doing with Alan 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:38.679 in this episode is so just men will never understand women. 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.480 Women understand everything, and men are just stupid eyes. Do 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.040 they still be this on sitcoms? I don't know, but 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.400 it was such a sitcom thing in such a sitcom thing, 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.560 and it was such a nineties sitcom thing. Yeah, I'm 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.800 just curious, I mean because I know that it continued 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.160 into other shows, but I feel like, I mean, Kevin 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:57.959 James's entire career exactly based on that premise. It was 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.520 so funny. I was watching this was Sue last night. 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.000 She's like, of course, I mean, she goes Everybody Loves 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.520 Raymond should have been called Everybody Loves Raymond except his 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.360 wife because she's like, he's just I hate this guy 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.440 I'm with and he's lucky to be with. It was 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.640 just it's such a like and it we'll get into 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.320 it later, but it's so not Alan and Amy. It 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.720 just wasn't what they were. They were the awesome hip parents, 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.160 and they just reduced it and and they loved each other 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.880 and they respected one another with I don't understand my 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:29.960 wife of seventeen, You're like, oh yeah, sorry, but Tony's 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:34.000 tie in this scene was marvelous. It was marvelous, and 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.960 they're actually teaching, like the episode is. We've talked about 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.440 this in a couple of episodes recently, yes, where the 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.000 story is not integrated at all. They just teach something 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:45.679 and then it moves on, whereas this one is like 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.679 the book is perfect with Cyrano and what the storyline 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.520 it really well. I do think I think that this 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:55.719 is an episode that was clearly created because right like 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.160 this is this is them seeing a guest cast, seeing 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:04.040 a character characters Danny too, and recognizing, oh, we can 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:08.040 write something for these people. And while I think it's 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.120 a great episode and are not a great episode, I 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.880 do like the episode. It's a little bizarre how much 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.920 it's focused on the bullies, Like it's you know, it 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.520 becomes like Harley's character arc is more important than anybody else's, 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:22.880 which is just a It just felt a little bizarre. 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.760 I was like, oh, this feels like a different show suddenly, 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:30.559 so here's the question, is it bizarre or god bless 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.800 my dad? Was he right? And they were going to 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.839 make the bullies a much bigger part of the show. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.600 And I mean, now they're getting girlfriends, they're getting storylines, 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.000 they're getting backstories. I think they wanted to write to 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.839 older characters. I think they definitely wanted to write to 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.439 you know. And I think they saw these actors being amazing, 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.040 and they were like, how can we give them an 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.520 episode at least, you know? And I think I don't know. 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.080 I mean, I think that this is one of the 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.000 episodes is why so many people love their characters, you know, 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.160 because they weren't in that many more like and yet 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.240 developed such a part of the show for people. So 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.720 I think it's because of this episode. But I definitely 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.000 felt a little weird, Like I definitely was like, well, 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.520 now I don't know what what whirld I'm in like, 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.960 And I wonder if they felt that too, and they 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.440 were like, all right, well we did that. Now let's 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.040 go back to the sort of safer ground of you know. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.160 But whatever a show can grow, show can change, So 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.120 it should have kept going in that direction. And maybe 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.160 your dad was right, Maybe it should have maybe ye 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.160 who knows, maybe I shouldn't be here at his name, 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.960 cunninghamed you out of there? Yeah they did. Chucky cunningham 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:31.880 me out of there upstairs in my basketball and you 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:46.800 never saw me again? Or oh man, Well, mister Turner 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.320 says men and women see romance differently, and that men 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.680 have trouble figuring out what women find romantic. And then 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.960 we're in the Matthew's backyard. Alan is hiding a giant 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.920 wrap gift for Amy at mister Phoenie's house. Alan, who 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:00.760 was wheeling it out of Phoenie these reveals it's a 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:05.360 trash compactor for their anniversary. Phoenie, who was slightly disturbed, 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.560 says diamonds might have been a better way to go 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.520 for a gift. Alan says Amy has been wanting the 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.920 compactor for years, so Phoenie wishes him a happy anniversary 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:19.440 and hopes they have others. Are either of your wives 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:26.520 women who want some kind of romantic, extra thoughtful gift 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.640 over like, would they find a practical gift fine and happy? 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.360 Would they be happy with it? Or would your wife 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.720 want something else? Again? Watching this with my wife last night, 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.600 she churned me. She's like one of the best gifts 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.280 you ever got me was that vacuum cleaner I asked 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.520 you for. Yeah, yeah, she loves it. So she's like 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:46.880 very non romantic that said, she does. You know I've 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.760 given sometimes with both of us, it's like whenever we've 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.800 given each other, like a very transactional gift, like that 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.480 thing that you ask for that helps you do whatever, 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.840 there is something a little like yeah about it. Yeah, 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:00.960 we prefer experiences. The most of what we do is 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.200 like getting rite each other something on our birthdays, like 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.560 we rte each other a note, you know, a nice card, 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.040 and that's always more important than whatever we buy. But yeah, 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.800 Christmas time there's always like a super practical gift of course, 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.800 and another one. But yeah, no, Sue is very romantic. 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.720 I mean she likes the regular stuff, you know, she 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.480 likes jewelry, she likes perfume, she likes shoes, she's but 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.160 she's also very practical. So it's like we need this 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.120 and I want it. Oh great, awesome, we got a 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.320 new washing machine. Huge gift. That's that's amazing. Yeah. Have 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.680 you guys ever had a trash compactor? Though? Yes? Really 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.040 growing up? See I had one growing up and it's 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.160 my parents still have it, and no one can figure 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.200 out where the garbage goes in their house. It's always 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.040 a big fact because because the door locks shut when 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.600 it's compacting, and then it likes so like people can't 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:49.840 access it's like this weird cabinet drawer. It's I mean, 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.080 I always thought it was kind of normal growing up, 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.840 and now I like, go back to my parents house 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.680 and I have to explain if anybody's there visiting. I'm like, yeah, yeah, 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.240 just give me your garbage. I'll figure it out for 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:00.800 you because it's so weird. Well, we'll get into a 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:02.600 weird garbage thing a little later in the episode that 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:06.320 also makes no sense whatsoever. Oh, okay, I love the garbage. 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.080 Good garbage conversation. We do love a good garbage conversation. 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.879 It's so Then we are in the Matthew's kitchen and 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.399 Alan calls up to Amy for their dinner reservations, and 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.680 Eric and Corey are sitting in a kitchen when they 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.679 realize it's their parents' anniversary. They hand Alan money to 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.000 put their names on the card for Amy's gift. Amy 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:28.600 comes down wearing a very cool pantsuit. She looks like 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.439 a magician's assist. Love it. I thought this was so 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:36.439 ahead of its time. I was like, oh, yes, for like, 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.879 this would be like a great like red carpet outfit 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.720 for someone. It look like she was at a circus. 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.719 To me, I thought it was keeping a lying it 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.320 was Sarah Margot. It's killing it. I was just like, yes, 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:52.120 she's making even more interesting. Yeah, like she's taking bold 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.440 choices and yeah, and I literally wrote, that's a magician's assistant. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:58.600 I think it looks great. So I thought it looked 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:04.360 really cool. Um so uh ame. Allan is very excited. 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.639 He's got a cute little jump about him, but Amy 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.320 seems disappointed. Eric reads the card and says the gift 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:14.359 is just from Alan, just Allen, nobody else, and Alan 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.000 asks if she likes it, and she says. She says 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.720 a trash compactor would be a lovely gift for say 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:24.800 a Tuesday. Alan goes into like Tim Allen home improvement 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:29.560 camp by caveman bit why wrong, oog no sleep in 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:33.240 cave tonight. He knows he messed up, Phoene was right. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:37.720 Amy walks off disappointed. Also, is she getting him a gift? 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:43.560 Apparently not? Yeah, Also, everybody else knows. Even Eric at 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.520 seventeen knows it's a bad gift. Only Allen, yeah, doesn't 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.160 get that this is a bad gift. Like really, the 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:52.520 only only guy there who doesn't get it is the 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.040 one who's been married to her for seventeen years on. 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:59.359 It's just so lame and lazy. Yeah, it's just it 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.840 just goes right back into that same sitcom trope. And 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.000 that was the cool thing about them is they weren't 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.359 that at all. It's just the easy I mean, this 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.800 is like we are two stages over from Home Improvement, 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:13.280 which is killing the number one show. Everyone loves it. 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:15.960 So I just think they just, you know, they're they're 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:20.160 they're caving to the lowest common denomena with the caveman voice. 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.399 It's so bad. It's so I was just like a 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:24.920 such a waste of rusty. It's such a waste of 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:28.679 rusty to take to take that character that way. You know, 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.560 Tell you guys a funny story. My parents met when 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.800 they were fifteen. They are now divorced, but they were 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.200 married for thirty years. They met when they were fifteen, 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.800 after they had been dating for like a year maybe 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:45.280 two years. For some holiday promise rings were very big 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:47.520 back then, which is like the ring you get somebody 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:50.720 before an engagement ring. It's like I promise that we're getting. 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:54.000 We're going in that direction. And my mom all of 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:55.920 her friends had promised rings. They were all in long 0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:00.560 term relationships. My mom was convinced for whatever the upcoming 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:02.479 event was, if it was an anniversary or a Christmas 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.960 I don't know that she was getting a promise ring. 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.800 And she was like, I know it, it's coming. And 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:12.560 my dad brings her a big box and her thought was, 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.720 oh my gosh, how cute. He put my ring in 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.040 a big heavy box. It was a big heavy box 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.959 and she opened it up and it was a bowling 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:28.960 ball because they used to go bowling, and really cute, 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.760 really sweet gift. And she was absolutely devastated and she 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:33.760 burst into tears and he had no idea why. He 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.560 was like, I don't understand, like you like bowling. Right, 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:40.520 So yeah, I think that's a maybe a better storyline 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:45.040 for a sixteen year old. Yeah, maybe better than for 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:51.440 Alan Matthews married for seventeen years, you know exactly as 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.119
