Speaker 1: with something along those lines. Okay, happy with barbecue. Um,
Speaker 1: what what political topics should we dive? O? Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: you guys start thinking about things. We'll figure it out.

Speaker 1: actually this will be our first con since well my
Speaker 1: first con and maybe writer's first con since we started
Speaker 1: the podcast. Yeah, yeah, and so Will has already had
Speaker 1: the experience, and he's poets world listeners, the world listeners
Speaker 1: and seeing the pod meats world merch. It hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 1: Shirts everywhere and it's cool and yeah, people come up
Speaker 1: and throw out like you know, one liners are inside
Speaker 1: jokes on the podcast. It's really fun. I definitely I
Speaker 1: got recognized as Sundance a couple of times, and it
Speaker 1: was so interesting because people clarify, you know, as opposed
Speaker 1: to recognizing me for Boy Meets World, which people do,
Speaker 1: you know all the time, and they would be like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of Boy Meats World, but I'm a
Speaker 1: bigger fan of pod Meets World at this point, and
Speaker 1: so like they would go out of their way. It
Speaker 1: happened to be a couple of times I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's so nice. It's it's it's a it's a it's
Speaker 1: like a different level of recognition, you know. It's like
Speaker 1: not only do I know you from that TV show
Speaker 1: when you were a kid, but like now I'm kind
Speaker 1: of on this other journey with you. Um, so I
Speaker 1: am really excited to see the fans part of me
Speaker 1: because I feel the same way. There's something that feels
Speaker 1: more personal about pod Meat's World. Well then there is
Speaker 1: and I yeah, yeah, And I wonder if it's just
Speaker 1: because obviously Podmeats World is very much us. It's just us.
Speaker 1: It's not there are no characters, it's just who we are. Um.
Speaker 1: Whereas Boy Meets World of course, there's that feeling when
Speaker 1: somebody compliments you on it. There's always that like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not the person who wrote and well I'm not
Speaker 1: the person who created it, and I'm you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just the physical actually exactly, I'm not actually to bangaloreans
Speaker 1: and all those things. So yeah, there is something so nice.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I am very excited to be out there
Speaker 1: and to see everybody and to have those conversations. And
Speaker 1: so yeah, we will be in Richmond the twenty fourth
Speaker 1: through the twenty sixth. If you haven't already got tickets,

Speaker 1: we want a good local place where Will and I
Speaker 1: can scream at each other and guys, guys, we all
Speaker 1: love each other. I think I will saying and I
Speaker 1: think we're saying, yeah, perfect ribs like ribs after you
Speaker 1: eat them are really good to just fling across the table.
Speaker 1: So I think we're we've got some some good stuff happening.
Speaker 1: Welcome to pod Meet's world. I'm Danielle fisheral, I'm Riders Strong,
Speaker 1: and I'm Eric Matthews. So today we are recapping season two,
Speaker 1: episode eleven, The Beard. It originally aired December ninth, nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety four. The synopsis is that Sean gets Corey to
Speaker 1: Data Girl solely to keep her unavailable while he dates
Speaker 1: another one. It is directed by David Trayner, was written
Speaker 1: by Jeff Minnelle and a guest stars Blake. Soaper is
Speaker 1: Joseph Joey, the ride epstein Ethan supplie is Frankie Stacchino.
Speaker 1: John Capitos as Chubby. He appeared in ace Ventura, Independence
Speaker 1: Day and Speed. This is the first time we see
Speaker 1: mister Chubby, right, yeah, is the only time I think
Speaker 1: there's I think Henves back, but it's a different actor
Speaker 1: playing Chubby. I feel like somebody's pointed that out to
Speaker 1: us before. Yeah, yeah, uh. Lenny Wolf as car dealer,
Speaker 1: Hayley Johnson as Linda. She's from Kids Incorporated. He is
Speaker 1: and Ashley Johnson's sister, Yess's sister, Molly Morgan as Stacy,
Speaker 1: and Josh Keaton returns, but this time as Roy. It's
Speaker 1: so funny. When I saw Josh at the beginning, I
Speaker 1: was like, is that that's Josh again? But then I
Speaker 1: was like, no, it can't be because he looks different.
Speaker 1: It looks different, and I was like, no, that's not him,
Speaker 1: and then I saw his name in the ground. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah it actually, but yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 1: He looks less like himself in this shot or whatever.
Speaker 1: The last one, yes, and the last one he didn't
Speaker 1: even have any lines, right, So yeah, yeah, super interesting.
Speaker 1: But this makes sense why we were friends with him
Speaker 1: and like, because he was always kind of around like
Speaker 1: he was in two more than one episode. So yeah. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: to start our recap, we are in the Matthews kitchen.
Speaker 1: Amy is stressing and looking at pictures of cars at
Speaker 1: the kitchen table because she's looking to buy a new car.
Speaker 1: Corey and Eric enter to tell Amy she should get
Speaker 1: a turbo charged Ferrari, and Amy asks, how's that going
Speaker 1: to work for the family. She decides to go with
Speaker 1: a van, and both Corey and Eric yell no. Amy
Speaker 1: defends the van for camping and soccer and her job
Speaker 1: at the gallery, and then Amy yep, still, she's got
Speaker 1: a load paintings. She's just loading paintings. And remember how
Speaker 1: big of a deal minivans were, Like that was a thing,
Speaker 1: like because they didn't really exist before the early nineties,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, and then it was like suddenly everybody had
Speaker 1: a minivan. Like my family got a minivan. Everybody your
Speaker 1: family these mini van when we would go places and
Speaker 1: it was awesome. Yeah, it was a Toyota Previa. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was there, amazing car, awesome my parents. My dad
Speaker 1: kept ran that car into the ground. He loved it
Speaker 1: because you could actually put i don't know, a certain
Speaker 1: size would in the like you could open up and
Speaker 1: use it basically as a truck. And he's like, oh no,
Speaker 1: it fits a perfect size plywood whatever he build something,
Speaker 1: why would he would like have this measurement. He's like,
Speaker 1: other trucks, other vans can't do it, but the Previa,
Speaker 1: so he like three hundred thousand miles. They finally killed
Speaker 1: that car and threw it away, but or gave it
Speaker 1: away or whatever rebuilt it. But my parents loved that
Speaker 1: car and we bought it right when Boy Beat the
Speaker 1: World started. Anyway, I just it's just so funny to remember,
Speaker 1: like mini vans were in the in the culture. It's
Speaker 1: like now it's just like a standard thing, like people
Speaker 1: have minivans. But back then, man, they were the new
Speaker 1: hot thing. But it was so strange because I not
Speaker 1: that long ago, maybe a year or two ago. I
Speaker 1: flew back to Connecticut, and when I fly there, I
Speaker 1: fly into Boston because I liked fly direct. And I
Speaker 1: had to rent a car to drive there. And the
Speaker 1: only thing they had and I didn't know the horse.
Speaker 1: The horse had colic and yeah, the buggie was the
Speaker 1: axel was thine broken? Um, your penny farthing bike wasn't working.
Speaker 1: Your hey, oh here we go now driving wow here
Speaker 1: on these two fangled roads. Wow, check me out. I
Speaker 1: had to go to the gym and lift those big
Speaker 1: triangle things. Um. So the only thing they had was
Speaker 1: a minivan, and so I was like, okay, I'll rent
Speaker 1: this thing. I had so much fun in this minivan
Speaker 1: that I came back and said to Sue, we almost
Speaker 1: need to have children just to justify getting this damn thing.
Speaker 1: Best friend has a minivan, and when I first was pregnant,
Speaker 1: she said to me, Oh, I'm so excited you're gonna
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a minivan just like me. I can't wait,
Speaker 1: can't wait for you to get a minivan. And I
Speaker 1: was like, I am not going to get a minivan. No,
Speaker 1: thank you, it's not for me. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: get one. And then I had to get my car
Speaker 1: had needed service and it was going to take longer
Speaker 1: than expected, so they got me a rental car, and
Speaker 1: the only rental car they had was a minivan. And
Speaker 1: if I didn't spend the rest of the day googling
Speaker 1: luxury minivans, I was like, this is amazing. The doors
Speaker 1: they don't have to open wide. They slide open so
Speaker 1: you can fit in narrow like because our garage is
Speaker 1: very narrow, it's very long. So if in order for
Speaker 1: me to get both kids in the car, I have
Speaker 1: to back out of the driveway so that the doors
Speaker 1: can open, I wouldn't need to do that with a minivan. No,
Speaker 1: do they have hybrid minivans yet. Is there a hybrid
Speaker 1: or electric minivan? Is that a thing? I think they
Speaker 1: have hybrids that don't remember. Yeah, I'm sure it's love
Speaker 1: a good minivan anyway, and you can fit all the
Speaker 1: all the paintings from the gallery and soccer and when
Speaker 1: you go camping, it's probably great perfect. So Amy then
Speaker 1: leaves to try and figure out what color she's gonna get.
Speaker 1: Alan tells the boys they just witnessed the big difference
Speaker 1: between men and women. Men like to rush, rush, rush,
Speaker 1: and just do it, but women they don't like to
Speaker 1: just do it. You've got to buy him a car first.
Speaker 1: And then there's a real tim Allen laugh moment between
Speaker 1: the boys and we're out of that scene. Well, no,
Speaker 1: he does say, I'm just kidding, Yes he did. I
Speaker 1: never said that. I never said exactly, which I thought
Speaker 1: was nice because if it was I, if this were
Speaker 1: home and prove, he would have just ended on that.
Speaker 1: And there, you're right, you're right. But the fact that
Speaker 1: like Alan then says, I didn't just kidding, I didn't
Speaker 1: say just kidding softens the softens the sexism, if you will,
Speaker 1: what's nice just a little? There are there are actually
Speaker 1: many moments of um going out of the way to
Speaker 1: avoid some sexism, like even are there are there are
Speaker 1: other there are a lot of them, so we will
Speaker 1: point them out less than any zero. Yeah. And then
Speaker 1: we are in mister Turner's classroom. Mister Turner is teaching
Speaker 1: the class all about Hamlet. That's all they can get.
Speaker 1: That's all these people, which is like Hamlet. We already
Speaker 1: covered that episode season one, right, and and and then
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's gonna pay off in some way,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't. Actually we go into President Kennedy so
Speaker 1: and we never even get a shady melon. So what's
Speaker 1: the point. What is this? What is the point of
Speaker 1: this episode? Come on, we need more mergeez uh. So
Speaker 1: Sean says Hamlet sounds just like Thanksgiving dinner at his house.
Speaker 1: And then a girl in front of Corey who is
Speaker 1: not to panga. Yeah in topanga seat, I'd like to
Speaker 1: point that out, passes a note to Corey, but it's
Speaker 1: for Sean. And then we cut to mister Feeney's class room.
Speaker 1: Mister Feeney is teaching the class about is that Haley
Speaker 1: or is that that's Haley? That's Haley who also for
Speaker 1: some reason is the only uh young woman in class
Speaker 1: anywhere to pass a full size note, who uses an
Speaker 1: entire higher sheet of paper to pass a note? Right, right,
Speaker 1: it's very obvious. Yeah, you say, she's like a notebook.
Speaker 1: Like her hand this back to Sean. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: you were she drew a ma shady melon the whole
Speaker 1: paper she was giving me your thoughts on hamlet. You know,
Speaker 1: she just wrote, didn't we do this episode? And then
Speaker 1: she handed it back? Yeah I wasn't. In season one,
Speaker 1: Uh so, mister Feenie is teaching the class about the
Speaker 1: Cuban missile crisis. Mister Feenie explains that JFK had to
Speaker 1: make an impossible decision, and Sean guesses it must be
Speaker 1: between his wife and Marilyn Monroe. So this is the
Speaker 1: first time we've seen Phoenie and second because right, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: And then we're back in Foenie's classroom. We're facing the
Speaker 1: right way, finally, finally, the right way. So much better now,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's so dumb, but I just feel better.
Speaker 1: I know. I don't know why it must, I mean,
Speaker 1: we have we are so used to facing that Phoene
Speaker 1: classroom direction. Yes, so then another girl passes a note
Speaker 1: to Corey and he thinks this one has to be
Speaker 1: for him, but it's once again meant for Sean. Corey
Speaker 1: wonders if he has an unlisted desk? Okay, do we
Speaker 1: want to talk about what I discovered? I think so.
Speaker 1: I mean, this has been something I've been trying to
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of for a very long time.
Speaker 1: And I woke up this morning. Do you having solved
Speaker 1: the mystery for him? Sold to mystery last night watching
Speaker 1: this episode? Because when I saw this actress whose name
Speaker 1: is her name is Wayne's Stay, Molly Morgan, Molly. She
Speaker 1: is playing Stacy. When I saw her face, I had
Speaker 1: a series of memories flooed into me and I put
Speaker 1: some clues together, and what happened this week while we're
Speaker 1: filming this episode was she could do some amazing double
Speaker 1: jointed things with her arms, Like she could like take
Speaker 1: her arms and like wap them around her head. And
Speaker 1: Ben and I saw her doing that and immediately were
Speaker 1: reminded of the girl who had originally played to Panco.
Speaker 1: Because the would originally played to Pango for one day,
Speaker 1: we'd only worked with her one day. We did the
Speaker 1: table read and we rehearsed that day and then um,
Speaker 1: she was gone the next day and Danielle you replaced
Speaker 1: her based on that whole story that we've all told
Speaker 1: him heard a million times, but we couldn't remember her
Speaker 1: name because she was never credited with the role or whatever.
Speaker 1: And but we'd remembered that she could do this interesting
Speaker 1: contortionist stuff with her body. Also was in Yeah, she
Speaker 1: could also like she could also do it stuff. So
Speaker 1: when when this when when Molly Morgan did it, Ben
Speaker 1: and I looked at each other and said, oh, my gosh,
Speaker 1: that reminds us of person X, whose name I couldn't
Speaker 1: remember now at the age of forty three. And Molly
Speaker 1: Morgan overheard us say that and then me aside during
Speaker 1: the filming of this episode and said, you know, that
Speaker 1: actually was my sister. My sister was the original to
Speaker 1: Panga Wow. And she got fired and she doesn't want
Speaker 1: you know, people talking about it. I you know, I
Speaker 1: don't want everybody to know that I am that girl's sister,
Speaker 1: because it wasn't a great experience to have been fired,
Speaker 1: I guess obviously. Um, And you know, the show went
Speaker 1: on to do well. The character went on to become
Speaker 1: a part of the show. So anyway, so that that
Speaker 1: week we discovered that Molly Morgan was the sister to
Speaker 1: the person who was originally the cast is to Panga,
Speaker 1: So that I don't know, is so Bonnie Moan. What's
Speaker 1: her name, Bonnie Morgan? So now we now know it's
Speaker 1: Bonnie Morgan whom I looked up who is a contortionist,
Speaker 1: and she is. She's a famous They both are successful actors, performers,
Speaker 1: but she is she has made a big part of
Speaker 1: her career being like a contortionist, which is so funny
Speaker 1: that that's the connective tissue why we were able to
Speaker 1: remember this person or why you know, we were able
Speaker 1: to learn about who this person was, and so yeah,
Speaker 1: to discover her now in twenty twenty three, she you know,
Speaker 1: does she's like the Ring girl from the movies The Ring,
Speaker 1: like not the original ones, but like basically everything since
Speaker 1: the Gorela Bin. Yes, she is responsible for that famous
Speaker 1: spider crawl in the Ring too. Yes, she does all
Speaker 1: of that cool stuff with her boy. And then I
Speaker 1: guess I think she's She and her family are performers.
Speaker 1: They have like a I think they both of the
Speaker 1: girls that we worked with came from their dad was
Speaker 1: like a service performer or something, so they have this
Speaker 1: like crazy, interesting, cool career. She was raised by third
Speaker 1: generation circus performers, also have a fantastic horror lineage. They
Speaker 1: have been a part of horror franchises for generations. She
Speaker 1: is incredibly talented, incredibly famous. Maybe you know, like I said,
Speaker 1: she is absolutely famous for doing that spider crawl. You
Speaker 1: may not know, oh, the famous spider crawl by Bonnie Morgan.
Speaker 1: You may not necessarily know her name, but you know
Speaker 1: her work. And yeah, I have been wanting to get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of this mystery of who she was
Speaker 1: because I did, at one at one time know her
Speaker 1: name years and years ago, and I did look her
Speaker 1: up and I did remember seeing that she was a contortionist.
Speaker 1: And remember I brought it up to you writer, I said, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I think she's a contortionist now, and you said,
Speaker 1: is she really or do you just think that because
Speaker 1: we remember her doing those contortion things. And the funny
Speaker 1: thing is that I didn't remember that because I wasn't
Speaker 1: there for this week when you worked with Molly, so
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have seen that. And I don't remember Bonnie
Speaker 1: doing that on that first day because I had other
Speaker 1: things going on in my mind on that first day.
Speaker 1: That was the day I ended up auditioning for Topanga,
Speaker 1: So her doing you know, double jointed stuff was just
Speaker 1: not in my memory. But I have wanted to. I
Speaker 1: have wanted to solve the mystery because I have thought
Speaker 1: about her. I mean, I won't say every day, but
Speaker 1: I have thought about her so many times over these years,
Speaker 1: and I've often wondered whether or not my story, me
Speaker 1: telling my half of the story, has ever hurt her,
Speaker 1: you know, like I have. I had told the story
Speaker 1: about how I got to Penga and there was another
Speaker 1: girl and then she was let go and then they
Speaker 1: replaced it, and then I got the job. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't until you know, I mean I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I should have thought of it, I should have thought
Speaker 1: of it earlier, but it wasn't until I was significantly
Speaker 1: older that I was like, Wow, what's her half of
Speaker 1: that story? For me, it's you know, a life changing moment,
Speaker 1: and for her it probably isn't life changing, but it
Speaker 1: also wasn't pleasant. Um well, but it was interesting, you know,
Speaker 1: because you could say the same thing about Marla sockle off. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and when we brought it up with Marla, it's like
Speaker 1: suddenly this like, yeah, origin story for you that is
Speaker 1: pretty positive. Yeah, you know, could be kind of perceived
Speaker 1: as like an awful but Marla didn't seem to really
Speaker 1: be bothered that much by it. True. But the one
Speaker 1: thing I'll say that's a big difference is that it
Speaker 1: wasn't Marla's that she lost. It was possibly Marla's and
Speaker 1: it was possibly mine. It was going to be one
Speaker 1: of ours, and someone was going to win out over
Speaker 1: the other. Sure for Bonnie it was hers. Yeah, That's
Speaker 1: how I felt with Harry. I mean, it's that same
Speaker 1: thing because there was another Eric Matthews. So yeah, but
Speaker 1: neither of those situations or have you guys had no
Speaker 1: responsibility with the actual situation, right, Like, you were not
Speaker 1: doing the firing, you were getting You're just getting hired
Speaker 1: for a job that just unfortunately might be not great
Speaker 1: for this other person. But it's not your fault. And
Speaker 1: interestingly too, Daniel, I want I want to point out
Speaker 1: that I feel like on this podcast you were telling
Speaker 1: the origin story and it suddenly felt a little more
Speaker 1: negative even for you, in a way that you hadn't
Speaker 1: expressed it, you know, when when you heard David Trayner's
Speaker 1: point of view, it suddenly changed, um, and and all
Speaker 1: the what you had sort of seen is like this,
Speaker 1: this great story of you rising to the challenge of
Speaker 1: Michael Jacob's expectations and notes suddenly was like this is
Speaker 1: maybe not wasn't a great situation to be threat and
Speaker 1: to be fired and you know, so it's it's it
Speaker 1: is interesting that there's, um, there's a much bunch of
Speaker 1: different point of views here. Um. And I I don't know, like,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a negative thing that you know,
Speaker 1: at twelve years old, this young actress did not you know,
Speaker 1: she didn't get this job or she had this job
Speaker 1: and got fired. I don't know, like I think it's
Speaker 1: it should be positive because she's clearly doing fine and
Speaker 1: has lived an interesting, cool life. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: but maybe, you know, I I hope that's true. And
Speaker 1: it's just I'm very aware of the fact that you
Speaker 1: don't get to tell somebody what their experience is of
Speaker 1: a situation you And so that is how I hope
Speaker 1: she feels about it. And I would nothing would make
Speaker 1: me feel better than for her to say to me,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that was a really difficult time, and
Speaker 1: I beat myself up over it at the beginning. Like
Speaker 1: I it was tragic at that time, but man, now
Speaker 1: looking back everything where you know, I would love I
Speaker 1: would love that, But I don't want to just assume,
Speaker 1: and I have always thought I want her to know
Speaker 1: that me telling the story, UM was never meant if
Speaker 1: it did make her feel bad, I am sorry for that.
Speaker 1: I certainly never meant to, and I just want to.
Speaker 1: I just would like to apologize if if I have
Speaker 1: ever made her feel bad by just simply sharing my story,
Speaker 1: it bringing up something for her that was bad. So anyway, UM,
Speaker 1: And also to your point writer about you know, retelling
Speaker 1: the story, I think the thing that's one of the
Speaker 1: things I love the most about this podcast is that
Speaker 1: I still to this day think of that situation with
Speaker 1: the story of how I got to Panga, and there
Speaker 1: are parts of it that are so inspiring, and there
Speaker 1: are parts of it that I'm like, That's one of
Speaker 1: the reasons I've been successful, as my definition of success
Speaker 1: for myself in my career has been achieving these milestones,
Speaker 1: and one of the reasons I have been that way
Speaker 1: is because from the time I was young, I learned
Speaker 1: to rise to the occasion under extreme pressure. So there
Speaker 1: are still parts of it that I find inspirational. And
Speaker 1: then on the other side, I can sympathize and empathize
Speaker 1: with the child that was there, not the professional, not
Speaker 1: the actor, not the adult doing you know, not the
Speaker 1: kid doing an adult job. But I can empathize with
Speaker 1: the child that was there and think that's a tough
Speaker 1: situation And is that a situation kid should be in?
Speaker 1: And so I think it's both. And yeah, so anyway,
Speaker 1: thank you for solving that mystery. For me. I am
Speaker 1: going to reach out to her personally. My number one
Speaker 1: goal would just be for her to know that I
Speaker 1: have reached out to her, woman to woman, person to person,
Speaker 1: and just talk to her. And then my number two
Speaker 1: goal would be to introduce her to all of you
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I don't know if she's going to
Speaker 1: be interested in that. I hope that she would, and
Speaker 1: I hope that she will because I'd like to share
Speaker 1: her with you and I'd love for us to meet
Speaker 1: her and to hear about her life and her adventures
Speaker 1: in her career. And so yeah, so we'll we'll see
Speaker 1: how that works out. I remember working with Molly and
Speaker 1: having a really great time this week. She was awesome
Speaker 1: and she's great, she's greatly at theisode and you so,
Speaker 1: I have very fond memories small like and and and
Speaker 1: she confided in me, you know, she didn't want the
Speaker 1: words spread around the set that her sister was the
Speaker 1: original Topengo UM, and we bonded, like I remember hanging
Speaker 1: out with her and loving working with her. UM. And
Speaker 1: then of course, you know, she never guest starred on
Speaker 1: our show again. I never never saw her again and
Speaker 1: forgot her name until I saw it in the credits
Speaker 1: and I was like, I know her face that is
Speaker 1: the sister was the original Topanca and so connected the
Speaker 1: dods UM and then yeah, and it was also interested
Speaker 1: Hayley Johnson, who's in this episode. Her sister, Ashley Johnson
Speaker 1: is it was a child actress who worked with my
Speaker 1: brother on a show called Maybe This Time, UM, a
Speaker 1: pilot that didn't get picked up. And then she was
Speaker 1: in a bunch of stuff. She's still in a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff and will you know where now right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: she as she's a friend, she's she is with the
Speaker 1: crew over a critical role and she's a D and
Speaker 1: D buddy so and she's she's engaged my friend Brian.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're right. Yeah, I saw Ashley like a
Speaker 1: week ago. That's so funny. Um, so did you know
Speaker 1: her sister when you saw her in this episode? You
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh instant, because because she and Ashley looks
Speaker 1: so similar, they do. Right. It was so funny to
Speaker 1: see Haley's face, like I remember her from this episode,
Speaker 1: but I also feel like she looks like somebody else,
Speaker 1: and I like to put it all together. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: is no Yeah, no, I've known Ashley for for years
Speaker 1: and years and years. Yeah. She's a big voice over
Speaker 1: actor too, so I mean I I've worked I think
Speaker 1: the first time I worked with Ashley she was like
Speaker 1: eleven or something like that. I mean, we've known each
Speaker 1: other for a long time. Yea. So, jumping back into
Speaker 1: our recap in the school cafeteria, Sean can't decide between
Speaker 1: the note passers Stacy and Linda. If he rejects Linda,
Speaker 1: she'll get upset, but if he rejects Stacy, she may
Speaker 1: get a sex change operation and come back as a
Speaker 1: very angry man. Weird out of nowhere joke, I know,
Speaker 1: and also then he says, hey, I've seen it happen,
Speaker 1: so yeah, really okay comes out of nowhere, and then
Speaker 1: Corey says, just choose, like when you picked between meat
Speaker 1: loaf and chicken at lunch. Right. Then Sean realizes something
Speaker 1: and asks, how do you know if you're having an idea?
Speaker 1: I love dumb Sean. Yeah, I don't hate dumb Sean either,
Speaker 1: if I dumb all right, yeah, yeah, okay, I kind
Speaker 1: of like dumb Sean more than I like angsty Sean.
Speaker 1: But I gotta see what where angsty Sean goes. I
Speaker 1: think I'm I mean, I don't think I like either.
Speaker 1: So but okay, no, you know, I definitely am not. Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not comfortable with it, but I
Speaker 1: guess maybe I'm not going to be comfortable with anything. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to be comfortable. And I
Speaker 1: think it's also one of the things I don't think
Speaker 1: you're comfortable with is I don't think you'll ever see
Speaker 1: yourself as funny when actually you are. You were very funny, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't think you ever. I think one of
Speaker 1: the reasons you're funny is because you don't think you're funny,
Speaker 1: so you don't play it for the joke. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it comes off as funny. It's funny. I mean, you
Speaker 1: was saying so earnestly, how do you know when you're
Speaker 1: having an idea? It was funny? It's so funny. It's
Speaker 1: so it's so funny. I really enjoy dumb Sean. It's
Speaker 1: literally one of my funny I I you know, I
Speaker 1: just feel like I'm looking at this show and looking
Speaker 1: at my acting. Um, I just feel like I'm out
Speaker 1: of control. Like I feel like I have no control.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I'm just sort of lurching from
Speaker 1: beat to beat, which maybe makes it a little real
Speaker 1: or something. But um, watching it, I'm uncomfortable with my performance.
Speaker 1: I'm like, why didn't I work on that a little
Speaker 1: bit more? Or like, I don't know, it just feels
Speaker 1: off to me. But you know, I think a lot
Speaker 1: of that is just insecurity looking at you know, myself
Speaker 1: in an awkward stage of life and feeling awkward about it.
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but I don't know. I mean, compared to
Speaker 1: like Will, I feel like you were like you guys
Speaker 1: both are your present You're like presentable in a way
Speaker 1: that like I've every time I'm on the screen, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this kid's just a mess. There's no idea what he's doing,
Speaker 1: like just all over the place, like my face and
Speaker 1: my mouth and my eyes like I'm just not like
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I just did. I don't
Speaker 1: feel presentable. I feel again, it's probably just my insecurity,
Speaker 1: Like it's a weird It's gotta be because it looks great.
Speaker 1: It did. It's a great character. I mean, it's a
Speaker 1: great character, and it's a perfect foil for Corey and
Speaker 1: the two of you work together really really well. And
Speaker 1: I had to pang it in when when there's episodes
Speaker 1: where it's the three of you, there's something about the
Speaker 1: trinity of the three of you that just the it
Speaker 1: balances perfectly. It really does. Yeah, I guess I do
Speaker 1: feel I guess I like the stuff with Corey in particular, Like, yeah, um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's probably me just judging my own
Speaker 1: appearance more than anything, you know, I just feel awkward. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what you're talking about. Your
Speaker 1: mouth and your eyes stay stayed on your face. They
Speaker 1: are in different there, They're never different directions at they
Speaker 1: are always on your face, and your face is always
Speaker 1: where it's supposed to be, and so yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know it. Then we're in the school hallway.
Speaker 1: Corey called Sean a sick and twisted individual, but Sean
Speaker 1: thinks he's a visionary because he wants Corey to date
Speaker 1: one girl while he dates the other, and that way
Speaker 1: she's off the market until he's ready to date her.
Speaker 1: And Corey says, you want me to keep her fresh?
Speaker 1: What am I tupperware? Which is exactly on the nose
Speaker 1: because later Eric calls it right out. You're you're safe,
Speaker 1: You're bubble wrap, bubble rap exactly. Corey says he has
Speaker 1: things to do. He can't date her. His calendar has
Speaker 1: Lincoln's birthday Sinco de Mayo and a warning to reorder
Speaker 1: the calendar in it, so obviously he's jammed. Remember calendars, guys,
Speaker 1: physical calendars. Will has a giant one, Yeah, Will huge,
Speaker 1: And it's the only thing that's that's determining my life
Speaker 1: right now. But I remember people used to have to
Speaker 1: have pocket calendars, right, oh yeah, the time all go.
Speaker 1: Like my dad always had one the fire department would
Speaker 1: give him every year, and I started I started using them.
Speaker 1: When I was a teenager, we would get them from
Speaker 1: the San Francisco Fire Department. There were these little pocket
Speaker 1: calendars that you have and they were great. I have
Speaker 1: one that I carried around and it's Bill to this
Speaker 1: day has every single letter from my freshman year boyfriend
Speaker 1: Jeff Arnell. Wow. So Sean says he's going to go
Speaker 1: out with the first girl that comes up to him,
Speaker 1: while Corey will go out with the other. And then
Speaker 1: Stacy comes over and she says hi, But he can't
Speaker 1: decide who he wants. He's still stuck between Stacy and Linda.
Speaker 1: He wants both, and actually I think Linda comes up first.
Speaker 1: Linda comes up to him, it says Stacy. Linda is
Speaker 1: the one who comes over first. And then he still stucks.
Speaker 1: So Corey says, fine, he wants Debbie and Sean no, yeah,
Speaker 1: And Sean says, but I want Debbie, and then Corey
Speaker 1: yell's there is no Debbie and you very perfectly say
Speaker 1: there's a Debbie somewhere. Can I say something very quickly
Speaker 1: about it's Haley, right, Haley Johnson. She was so perfectly
Speaker 1: cast as a seventh grader. I'm now putting it in
Speaker 1: my head that this is the seventh grade, and we've
Speaker 1: had some storylines and some stuff that happens some people
Speaker 1: that have been cast where it's like, wow, they don't
Speaker 1: look like they're seventh graders. She perfectly looks like a
Speaker 1: nice seventh grader. Well, see, I was during this episode.
Speaker 1: I was looking at how much Ben and I look
Speaker 1: older from when we started this season. Yeah, like it's
Speaker 1: already the progression, Like I feel like we're high scorers.
Speaker 1: Like I'm looking at it going, yeah, oh yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: definitely like I look like I'm in ninth grade or tenth. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what I really liked about beginning of
Speaker 1: the season. I didn't so yeah, yeah, everyone's changing very
Speaker 1: quick at this age. But I thought she was perfectly
Speaker 1: cast because I feel the same way. But I wonder
Speaker 1: how much of it because I felt the same way
Speaker 1: even about myself. When I saw my face, I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: my face has gotten so much more mature. I wonder
Speaker 1: how much of it, though, is just us actually feeling
Speaker 1: more comfortable seeing ourselves in those sets and seeing us
Speaker 1: around the other background actors who all look older. I
Speaker 1: wonder if we think we've aged up more than we
Speaker 1: really have I don't know, riders super comfortable with it.
Speaker 1: So that's obviously what it is. The other thing I'd
Speaker 1: like to talk about about this episode and the last episode,
Speaker 1: the writing staff has now let Seinfeld completely permeate the
Speaker 1: writer's room. Oh really, because the last two episodes have
Speaker 1: just had Seinfeld and Seinfeld moments inside. It's just there's
Speaker 1: it's It was obviously huge in the lex kon at
Speaker 1: the time, and so there have been moments that have
Speaker 1: been like, oh, that's right from Seinfeld. Oh that's directly
Speaker 1: and this is one of them or what there there's
Speaker 1: a bunk. I mean, there's there's a couple of moments
Speaker 1: that happier happen here with like you know, the who's well,
Speaker 1: who's Debbie? I mean like all that kind of stuff
Speaker 1: like that is there are some Seinfeld isms there, you know,
Speaker 1: before U Ben Mike raving his socks, there's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: There's a whole storyline about Kramer always wanting his stuff warm,
Speaker 1: so putting. So the question, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: we came first or they came first. We all Seinfeld
Speaker 1: started in nineteen eighty nine and was on for nine seasons,
Speaker 1: so it was already like in its prime it did.
Speaker 1: But the but the episodes where Kramer is doing his
Speaker 1: socks and his clothes come later in the season, so
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe this was earlier. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but there's definite Seinfeld references that are now starting to
Speaker 1: happen on the show. Hm, well, there you go. We
Speaker 1: have also been accused of stealing things from friends very
Speaker 1: consciously did South Park references on what did we from friends? Well,
Speaker 1: I actually think maybe it's not things that were in
Speaker 1: the show. But you know that very famous photo of
Speaker 1: the four of us all lying on each other in
Speaker 1: a little square format like in the Park that was
Speaker 1: apparently like it had already been done by friends. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think they all looked. I don't feel like the
Speaker 1: opening our opening credit sequence a lot. Yeah, something about
Speaker 1: the friends, Yeah, yeah, at the end especially, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think the on and off again relationship stuff too. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I think that's a regular basic television trope
Speaker 1: at the time, though, yeah, exactly, it's just kind of
Speaker 1: maybe from us, Maybe they stole it from us. How
Speaker 1: about that? How about that Courtney Cox called her out?
Speaker 1: I love friends anyway, So we're in the school hallway.
Speaker 1: Frankie asks Joey if he forgot to do something on
Speaker 1: this Friday afternoon, and Joey says, yeah, he forgot to
Speaker 1: clean out his locker. He opens the locker and two
Speaker 1: very cute little nerds run out. Corey overhears Roy asking
Speaker 1: Linda out, so Corey decides to run interference to get
Speaker 1: him to go away, and Linda is thankful. Linda asks
Speaker 1: Corey if Sean is avoiding her, and then Sean runs
Speaker 1: over to Corey, sees Linda and quickly runs away because
Speaker 1: he's avoiding her. Corey says that he's just shy, and
Speaker 1: he compliments Linda, and Sean is probably intimidated because she
Speaker 1: has such a beautiful smile and she's sweet and she's smart,
Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, Ben is so Corey is so
Speaker 1: confident when he's talking the Ladies Man, and now he's
Speaker 1: got women all over to him again, and he's so
Speaker 1: naturally charismatic, and he have an easy conversation when this
Speaker 1: they're with this girl, when he's able to do it.
Speaker 1: From the standpoint of talking about Sean, Yeah, it's also
Speaker 1: funny because like Sean is established as this like ladies
Speaker 1: man or whatever, but like I'm kind of all over
Speaker 1: the place. I'm not and I've never kissed anybody on
Speaker 1: the show yet. I mean there was the one, the
Speaker 1: one episode where I was in a locker with a girl,
Speaker 1: But like we've watched Corey like yeah, a lot of
Speaker 1: different girls, not just to Panga, but like multiple episodes
Speaker 1: now where he's been aggressive or you know, but he
Speaker 1: just talks a lot about being nervous, but he actually
Speaker 1: pretty confident and funny and tier. When they opened the
Speaker 1: closet door in the seven minutes in Heaven episode, were
Speaker 1: you actually kissing her? Then? I came out with a
Speaker 1: different shirt on. Yeah, so I have not had an
Speaker 1: in the locker, in the locker room, the locker when
Speaker 1: you're in there, you didn't see it there in Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well I thought the same thing. I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: for the guy who is so nerdy, never gets invited anywhere,
Speaker 1: it doesn't have any friends, he's the most popular kid
Speaker 1: in school. He's got women all over the place, He's
Speaker 1: going to every single party. It's like, oh, Corey's actually
Speaker 1: a pretty popular dude. Yeah, there's something, you know, this
Speaker 1: is something that's all it's always struck me about. Boy
Speaker 1: Mee's world. And I think it's part of the form itself,
Speaker 1: part of sitcom in general, which is that there is
Speaker 1: this it's like a play and and and we've talked
Speaker 1: about that a bunch, but like part of the play
Speaker 1: nature is that you're kind of told things more than
Speaker 1: you're shown things. So like we're told a lot who
Speaker 1: our characters are, and we talk about who our characters are,
Speaker 1: so like we're told who Corey is, we're told who
Speaker 1: Sean is, in a way that in a single camera
Speaker 1: show or in a movie, you wouldn't rely on people's
Speaker 1: dialogue to describe characters as often as you do in
Speaker 1: a sitcom. In a sitcom, we're literally like, well, Sean,
Speaker 1: you're always doing this, and Corey euro And it always
Speaker 1: struck me as odd and never felt like I feel like,
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, like I'm giving credit four
Speaker 1: Like I've always felt like Sean is given credit for
Speaker 1: being this like bad boy who's always in trouble and
Speaker 1: the ladies man. But in reality, I didn't actually play
Speaker 1: that that often. Does that make sense? Like it just
Speaker 1: sort of said that that was my character in a
Speaker 1: way that like in any other context, if I was
Speaker 1: in a movie, I would have played Sean differently because
Speaker 1: I would have been I would have been acting those
Speaker 1: things out as opposed to verbally reinforcing them. But something
Speaker 1: about you know about the form of sitcom, and especially
Speaker 1: our show in particular, it's a lot of talk, and
Speaker 1: it's a lot of explaining characters, and then you know,
Speaker 1: to a way that I felt uncomfortable with later in
Speaker 1: later seasons where I would feel like we're just talking
Speaker 1: about who we are a lot, and which I'm curious
Speaker 1: to revisit, you know, by like fifth season, I feel
Speaker 1: like we're always like, but your Corey, who does this
Speaker 1: and this and this and this? And it's like, why
Speaker 1: don't we just have actions that describe or that illustrate that,
Speaker 1: as opposed to verbally describing that. And that was something
Speaker 1: that frustrated me about the form of sitcom. What I
Speaker 1: was thinking about when you just said that is what
Speaker 1: an actual perfect way of creating instant conflict to only
Speaker 1: have to show if you have to show the who
Speaker 1: they are with action and then create conflict by seeing
Speaker 1: them do the other part of that, it's much it's
Speaker 1: a much longer situation where what's the instant conflict? If
Speaker 1: I say, but Corey, you're always the good guy, and
Speaker 1: yet actually every time we see Corey he's always in trouble,
Speaker 1: and with Sean it's the opposite. Sean, Well, Sean's the troublemaker.
Speaker 1: And what do we actually see is always Sean being
Speaker 1: sensitive and Sean not getting into trouble and the formula, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the soft This is how Boy's World did it, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is how you compress that much meaning
Speaker 1: into a two minute episode, right, like, and it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's tricky, like, but yeah, I feel like that
Speaker 1: is the formula for Boyme's World because I never felt
Speaker 1: like Sean was actually a bad person, Like he was
Speaker 1: never actually breaking the rules or actually doing anything, you know,
Speaker 1: besides like changing the poenie to weenie like, which is
Speaker 1: also kind of you know, there was all this talk,
Speaker 1: there was all this explaining to the audience like this
Speaker 1: is who these people are, and yeah, you know, and
Speaker 1: I think, especially for kids, you absorb those those those
Speaker 1: verbal descriptions almost as equally as you do what's actually
Speaker 1: happening on screen, so you know, and you give them
Speaker 1: just enough to to to uphold what you've said. So
Speaker 1: for you, it was blowing up the mailbox. You got
Speaker 1: that one episode. That's the biggest thing we could do,
Speaker 1: is you blowing up the mailbox. And now we buy it.
Speaker 1: You can say anything about Sean being a rebel, and
Speaker 1: that foundation has already been laid. And then for Corey,
Speaker 1: we do the thing with the seven minutes in Heaven.
Speaker 1: We see him get humiliated once and now we just
Speaker 1: no matter what else we show, we accept well, we've
Speaker 1: seen it, we've seen it, and you've said it about
Speaker 1: bunch of times. It must be true. Um so, yeah,
Speaker 1: very very interesting. Uh So, Linda asks Corey why he's
Speaker 1: not intimidated, and then we get a little flirty moment
Speaker 1: of silence between the two of them, and then we
Speaker 1: are in Chubbies. Frankie and Joey are standing at the
Speaker 1: jukebox when Frankie asks two girls if they want to dance,
Speaker 1: and when they say yes, Joey says, okay, go dance
Speaker 1: and sits back to watch and the girls shake their
Speaker 1: head like and walk away. And then Corey brings Linda
Speaker 1: to Chubbies for the first time. She says she's always
Speaker 1: heard it was a dive and he said it used
Speaker 1: to be a dive, but now it's a rat hole.
Speaker 1: Hold on, So no Danny in this episode. Huh No, No,
Speaker 1: So they were just picking and choosing. It must have
Speaker 1: been a budget thing. Yeah, they were constantly trying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well they have two guest stars. Yeah, it's just like
Speaker 1: we had a serious number of guests, like a limited
Speaker 1: number of guest stars, and then they just would write
Speaker 1: to that that's exactly what it has to be. Well,
Speaker 1: Linda asks for a menu from mister Chubby, and Corey
Speaker 1: is embarrassed. He calls her a for an exchange student,
Speaker 1: saying nicht on the menu, and he says, you can't
Speaker 1: just come in here for like as a first time
Speaker 1: or in order. Corey says Chubby doesn't like that she
Speaker 1: has to act like a regular, and then he tells
Speaker 1: her how to order, which is a very detailed exchange
Speaker 1: and yeah it's by the way, this is very famous
Speaker 1: and the boy meets World lexicon. The I didn't ordering
Speaker 1: at all. I didn't I wasn't remember. I didn't even
Speaker 1: remember that we ever saw Chubby. But again, this is
Speaker 1: this is the Seinfeld thing. This is exactly this This
Speaker 1: a souper Nazi. It's the same. There's an ordering thing
Speaker 1: and you won't get I mean, it's all taken right
Speaker 1: from something right. I didn't think about that to complain,
Speaker 1: Its completely the same storyline. So Linda follows Corey's lead
Speaker 1: on how to order a turkey chubby with everything, and
Speaker 1: then she orders a diet soda and he pours out
Speaker 1: half of a regular soda and says half the calories.
Speaker 1: Very funny, very funny. Capitos is a big character actor.
Speaker 1: By the way, this was good. He's so great, such
Speaker 1: a good get for our show, though. I mean he's
Speaker 1: been in He's that kind's been around forever and he's
Speaker 1: been in everything. So yeah, it was I remember seeing
Speaker 1: him on the set and be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I've watched this guy in a thousand things. Yeah, really cool.
Speaker 1: They walk over to a booth and Linda asks why
Speaker 1: Corey isn't sitting next to her, and this gets a
Speaker 1: who from the audience, and just as they get comfortable,
Speaker 1: Sean and Stacy walk in and then Linda kisses Corey.
Speaker 1: Corey is almost speechless, but Sean didn't see it. Shan
Speaker 1: looks over. They exchange a thumbs up, and this is
Speaker 1: all just a bit and much for Corey. Great thumbs
Speaker 1: up between the two of you. M h, I love
Speaker 1: a good thumbs up. So this is this was cool
Speaker 1: to see this episode and this scene in particular, and
Speaker 1: then the next one in Choby's because this is where
Speaker 1: I became friends with someone who is still like one
Speaker 1: of my best friends in life. Um, she's in the background.
Speaker 1: She was actually Aaron. I don't you guys remember Aaron? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Aaron who she was. She grew up with Ben. Actually
Speaker 1: that's how she was there. She and Ben were friends
Speaker 1: when they were like six and seven back in Chicago,
Speaker 1: and she came out to LA for this episode to
Speaker 1: visit him, and we met filming this scene and sat
Speaker 1: and chubbies and talked. And then later on that week Ben, Aaron, Patrick,
Speaker 1: Renna who I had done summertime switched with, and I
Speaker 1: think some other people. I don't know if either of
Speaker 1: you guys were there. We all went to Burbank and
Speaker 1: watched Quiz Show, which was Michael's movie. We went to
Speaker 1: the movie theater to watch Quiz Show and I bought
Speaker 1: the Blind Melon CD there. Yeah, I think you were
Speaker 1: there too. From it was one of the first CDs
Speaker 1: I remember buying, and I loved that I loved that band.
Speaker 1: It became a Dancing girl. Yeah, but at that album,
Speaker 1: like I bought it from a vending machine at the
Speaker 1: Burbank AMC for whatever theater we went to flood Ruckers. Anyway,
Speaker 1: It's just so funny. As I was, I had the
Speaker 1: flood of memories and I could see there's Aaron in
Speaker 1: the background in the scene as an extra, and we
Speaker 1: sat and talked and we started a She went back
Speaker 1: to Chicago after visiting for the week and we started
Speaker 1: a phone letter relationship friendship that has lasted to this day. Now.
Speaker 1: I'm still best friends with her and her now her
Speaker 1: husband and her two daughters, and we see each other
Speaker 1: all the time. And it was so funny because I
Speaker 1: texted her a couple of months ago. I was like,
Speaker 1: I think your episode's coming up. Do you remember what
Speaker 1: it's called. She's like, my mom said it was called
Speaker 1: The Beard. I'm like, that doesn't sound like a Boyman's
Speaker 1: World titled what is the Beard? She's like, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: She's like, all your remembers that I yelled scum at
Speaker 1: one point. Ye. Anyway, It's just like, yeah, so Aaron
Speaker 1: is still like one of my and it was so
Speaker 1: cool to see this in New York. No, she's in Chicago.
Speaker 1: She she keep she moved out here for a while.
Speaker 1: She and her husband lived in San Diego for years,
Speaker 1: and now they went back to Chicago. So that, by
Speaker 1: the way, the Weird also the name of a Seinfeld episode,
Speaker 1: Are you serious? Ye? Oh my god? Same. They literally
Speaker 1: called the Beard. Yep. Ye. That is the most nineties
Speaker 1: or writer. We went to fud Ruckers. I thought of
Speaker 1: Blind Melon from a great movie. Yes, incredible. Yeah, see
Speaker 1: Quiz Show. If you haven't seen it, you should. Jeff
Speaker 1: McCracken and Michael Jacob's producers on that movie. So um,
Speaker 1: we're in the Matthews kitchen. Corey and Eric are setting
Speaker 1: the table with their dad when Alan asks if they
Speaker 1: remember the little conversation they had about women yesterday, and
Speaker 1: Corey says yes. As a matter of fact, he needs
Speaker 1: some advice. Alan says, men are creatures of action, and
Speaker 1: he calls Amy downstairs. She's wearing another very cool bolo tie.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys caught it this, I did,
Speaker 1: I did. I also in the work three piece suit
Speaker 1: that she's still in, it's a peplam a peplum skirt.
Speaker 1: Suit with a bolo tie and white tights. I did
Speaker 1: notice remember when we had Marguerite on and she was
Speaker 1: like the white tights. I've noticed a lot of white tights.
Speaker 1: Sarah marco Witz a big fan of white tights. I
Speaker 1: want to I want to make a note about that.
Speaker 1: Pepsi and peplum peplum. Absolutely PEPSI get it for your
Speaker 1: peplum um. Alan says he is taking charge of the
Speaker 1: car purchasing so she can avoid all the things she
Speaker 1: hates about the process. Alan then takes Amy outside to
Speaker 1: show her the nineteen ninety nineteen ninety five minivan he bought.
Speaker 1: Can we talk about where we never see the car?
Speaker 1: Never see the car? But also where's their driveway? Where?
Speaker 1: I don't know? I was so frustrated. I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: they pull around this side, which is didn't Grandma was
Speaker 1: a rolling Ston't she run to the other side. Yes,
Speaker 1: people come from the other direction all the time. House.
Speaker 1: It makes no sense, I mean, the truth really is.
Speaker 1: It just is what's convenient for camera for camera. So
Speaker 1: it just made sense that they wanted him to pull
Speaker 1: her outside and for her to see it. But so
Speaker 1: why if the car is parked over there? Why would
Speaker 1: the front door be on the other side? Makes no
Speaker 1: sense at all? Can I also ask, is what he
Speaker 1: did so awful? I'm curious for two months that they've
Speaker 1: wanted this car, they've set it up, that it's been
Speaker 1: two months that she's trying to decide what car it is.
Speaker 1: They finally get to a knight. Isn't it supposed to
Speaker 1: be her decision? Right? But she does. She says, I
Speaker 1: like the I like the minivan. He's like, pick a color,
Speaker 1: and then he even loots the fact that he's you
Speaker 1: said green with the tan and terrier. She picked the
Speaker 1: car and then picked the color and he went out
Speaker 1: thought I think what because I was thinking about this too,
Speaker 1: and I think what the idea was is that she
Speaker 1: never said there, that's it, I'm settled, go get now
Speaker 1: we can go get it. She said, hmmm, minivan, yeah,
Speaker 1: green Beisian terrier m And he was like, great, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go do that, and she was like, I never
Speaker 1: gave you the go ahead. It's been two months of this.
Speaker 1: This is not we've just started. We started talking about
Speaker 1: buying a car like a monster, right, definitely don't see this.
Speaker 1: But the point is that she's I just I just
Speaker 1: think that, Yeah, he's the one that wants to drive it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she should probably let her be a part of the
Speaker 1: process as much as she wants to be. So I
Speaker 1: think she was. She picked the car and the color,
Speaker 1: and then he went and bought it because they set up. Hey,
Speaker 1: you hate talking to the dealership, you hate doing this stuff.
Speaker 1: You picked the car, you picked the color. I went
Speaker 1: and got it for you. But she also probably hates
Speaker 1: being rushed into something that she didn't. You know what
Speaker 1: the question is, what is rushing after what? Whatever she decides,
Speaker 1: he doesn't get the decide. So if he's paying for
Speaker 1: the car, he doesn't get to decide. He's a galorest.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is one where I was paying
Speaker 1: for it together there and it's gonna be her car
Speaker 1: and they made the decision. So she she I don't
Speaker 1: think you get anything absolutely wrong, but I definitely think that,
Speaker 1: Like but the where she says, whoa, I didn't you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we should have a little I think this
Speaker 1: was a little too much like this is women are
Speaker 1: this way, and look how dumb the man is. And
Speaker 1: it's like his wife picked the car and picked the color,
Speaker 1: and he went and bought it, So I don't think
Speaker 1: the show reduces it too. I think it did. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it's time. I think it was. I think
Speaker 1: it was a little like this is what women want kids,
Speaker 1: and then it's like you don't know women at all,
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, well it's one bragging about how
Speaker 1: much men are this way, and men are people of
Speaker 1: action and we go out and do things. So I
Speaker 1: think that's the argument that's under my not that he's
Speaker 1: a bad person, right, but it's us would have made
Speaker 1: more sense that but again, you're not rushing into something
Speaker 1: after two months of deciding what it is. That was
Speaker 1: my problem with it. It's like, hey, if the line
Speaker 1: had simply been, hey, have you picked your car yet?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? We decided to get it on Friday,
Speaker 1: give me a chance to look. But it wasn't. It
Speaker 1: was you've been looking at this for two months. Now
Speaker 1: you've gone, I want a minivan. Hey it's the mini.
Speaker 1: Meant it showed how like stupid the man was. Because
Speaker 1: what I didn't enjoy about it is how waffly it made.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean women. Yeah, and then it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, exactly, there's stereotypes something else, but you know
Speaker 1: what kind of wants for me. Yes, but I know,
Speaker 1: but and I like those things in the past though.
Speaker 1: But like a lot of things in Boy Meets World,
Speaker 1: I thought the end game was pretty great. Like I
Speaker 1: thought the like therapy session at the end, it was funny.
Speaker 1: It was it was funny, and it was like and
Speaker 1: I love the way both both Betsy and Rusty play
Speaker 1: it for realism, like they play true right, And I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just you know, because I had similar
Speaker 1: stuff with like the way Sean and Corey are in
Speaker 1: the beginning of this episode is pretty despicable, right, Like
Speaker 1: it's pretty awful, like the way that they're talking about
Speaker 1: women and well sure that's the point. They get to
Speaker 1: a place where they're you know, made to look like
Speaker 1: the asses that they've been and it's like, okay, good,
Speaker 1: Like so I feel like, you know, I don't have
Speaker 1: that same kind of I don't. I just we've done,
Speaker 1: we've it's it's it's a sitcom. I get that. But
Speaker 1: we've always talked about how one of the things that
Speaker 1: we avoided, especially with Alan and Amy, was kind of
Speaker 1: like he's the dumb husband and I know where it
Speaker 1: is it's like, it's never really that. And I felt
Speaker 1: like it kind of hit that this same a little
Speaker 1: bit where it was like, you know, because I didn't
Speaker 1: tell him, he wouldn't know, and it's like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: just it this thing that I was so proud that
Speaker 1: they'd avoided for so long. I felt like they kind
Speaker 1: of leaned in. Yeah, I guess it is kind of
Speaker 1: punitive towards him because he ends up being at the
Speaker 1: end having to give in and go Yeah, of course,
Speaker 1: I guess I need therapy because I went out and
Speaker 1: bought you the car you wanted, like yikes. And it
Speaker 1: was just I don't know if I get the sitcom thing,
Speaker 1: but I loved how we avoided that for so long,
Speaker 1: and it just seemed like this episode was kind of
Speaker 1: I don't it seemed I didn't like that. I didn't
Speaker 1: like it very much. I just didn't get how it
Speaker 1: was that big a deal. It was right, that was
Speaker 1: the thing. It just I don't know. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: have rather it be about um a very big purchase
Speaker 1: without including me, because that's that's a conversation almost every
Speaker 1: married couple can have at some point time, and it's
Speaker 1: or it's a if you're going to avoid the situation.
Speaker 1: It's a conversation you have many times throughout the course
Speaker 1: of your marriage. What do we spend money on? Who
Speaker 1: do we have to ask permission before we spend money?
Speaker 1: How do we do ours? Our money all joint? Is
Speaker 1: it is some of it separate? So yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I can see the idea if we just look at
Speaker 1: it as he made a very large purchase in her
Speaker 1: mind without getting her approval. Even if he so he
Speaker 1: miss interpreted exactly, he misses her out was a good thing,
Speaker 1: and she wanted to be more involved, obviously. That's if
Speaker 1: we just if we can reduce what happened to that
Speaker 1: that he thought he got approval, She says, you did not.
Speaker 1: I was not involved. I never I didn't know this
Speaker 1: was happening. And so now there was a very large
Speaker 1: purchase made that she feels like she didn't have input on,
Speaker 1: and I guess that was I guess maybe it's a
Speaker 1: writing thing for me because when they point out that
Speaker 1: she's been looking at the car for two months, right,
Speaker 1: she's now picked a color and an interior, then you're
Speaker 1: fully involved in the decision. Yeah, you made the decision,
Speaker 1: so it has to tie into the a storyline which
Speaker 1: has to do with you know, so every guess. I
Speaker 1: guess it's just a writing anything for me where it
Speaker 1: was like they could have a couple lines here or there,
Speaker 1: could have changed that entire thing for me. So Amy
Speaker 1: is upset. There, okay, Amy is upset Allan impulsively about
Speaker 1: the car and Alan doesn't get it. Amy asks what
Speaker 1: is it with men? They are always in a rush.
Speaker 1: Amy wants to talk in the other room, and that's
Speaker 1: a big uh oh from the audience. Everyone knows. And
Speaker 1: then when they leave, Corey tells Eric about Sean's dating plan,
Speaker 1: and Eric says, this is happening because Corey is safe.
Speaker 1: He's like bubble rap. Corey says, well, women think he's dangerous.
Speaker 1: Eric asks if he means Grandma, and Corey says, yeah,
Speaker 1: but also Linda, And then he talks about the fact
Speaker 1: that they kissed on the lips at Chubby's and then
Speaker 1: as excited, Eric says, everything is okay. Then he's not
Speaker 1: safe anymore. This is great because Corey and Sean both
Speaker 1: have girlfriends. Then Eric throws a wrench into the plan
Speaker 1: because Sean may break up with his girlfriend at any moment,
Speaker 1: and then he would ruin everything, and Eric has to
Speaker 1: tell him, you have to decide who is more important,
Speaker 1: your best friend or your girlfriend. You get Eric is,
Speaker 1: yet we still don't know what he is at this point,
Speaker 1: he's like was a ladies man. Now he's kind of
Speaker 1: just the your older brother. But then and it's like
Speaker 1: we're still finding him, I think, yeah, as as they're
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out how to write for Eric. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's definitely there's definitely a little bit of the same way.
Speaker 1: How the house is set up is based on convenience. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who Eric is is a little bit of a character
Speaker 1: of convenience. Who do we need right now, Batt'll be
Speaker 1: let's give that to Eric. Absolutely. And like you said
Speaker 1: that with with Ryder, with your character, where you've had
Speaker 1: the mailbox, like we've established who he is. Eric never
Speaker 1: really had that kind of like here's what it is.
Speaker 1: We've established him, so now it's a foregone conclusion how
Speaker 1: we want him to be in the future. It's just
Speaker 1: I think you're right, exactly right, Danielle. He's he's he's
Speaker 1: an MCS your character at this yeah point, he's a
Speaker 1: character of convenience. And then we fade into mister Finie's classroom,
Speaker 1: Corey's face becomes mister Finie's face, and Nice dissolve. Mister
Speaker 1: Feinie continues to talk about the Cuban missile crisis and
Speaker 1: President Kennedy staring at the destruction of the world, and
Speaker 1: then Corey yells to give him a break because it's
Speaker 1: his first big crisis. And I thought, it's a It's
Speaker 1: interesting because this is I think maybe the first time
Speaker 1: the storyline is about history tying into oh yeah, as
Speaker 1: opposed to literature. Interesting even though we have Hamlet, it's
Speaker 1: not really it was really about Hamlet. It's about this
Speaker 1: history and how it's tying together. So mister Feeney tells
Speaker 1: Corey to put his head down. It's naptime, and then
Speaker 1: we're in the school hallway. Stacey tells Sean she wants
Speaker 1: to see a romantic foreign film, not something where someone's
Speaker 1: head blows up. And Stacy ends up thinking they may
Speaker 1: have less in common than she thought, and Sean says
Speaker 1: they don't have much as much in common as he
Speaker 1: thought either. Dumb Sean. I like dumb Sean. Okay, also
Speaker 1: to have dumb thing to have an argument over. But
Speaker 1: you know, maybe guys are spending too much time together
Speaker 1: over the last four days. I don't know is why
Speaker 1: you're supposed to date him on a multiple group of people? Ye,
Speaker 1: lots of people apparently at this age. Yeah. Corey overhears
Speaker 1: the conversation and tries to help, but Stacy walks away,
Speaker 1: somewhat ending the honeymoon phase of their relationship. They broke
Speaker 1: up over what movies they like. Sean thanks Corey for
Speaker 1: keeping Linda on deck. Looks like he's going to need
Speaker 1: her after all, and Corey panics and says no, Sean
Speaker 1: can't live without Stacy, and his voice gets higher and
Speaker 1: he becomes more panicked, and he tells Sean to goes.
Speaker 1: He tells Sean to go after Stacy, but then he
Speaker 1: runs after her himself. Really liked her, Yeah, he set
Speaker 1: it up with Corey, really likes her. I know. The
Speaker 1: thing that was so interesting about it is it's like
Speaker 1: I also I also thought in this moment, I thought, writer,
Speaker 1: it looked like you had a bit of a knowing
Speaker 1: smile on your face and not knowing how this episode
Speaker 1: turned out because I had no memory of it at all.
Speaker 1: You do then later know that he likes Linda and
Speaker 1: I liked that as the actor. I really sensed that
Speaker 1: you showed a little bit that you recognized what was
Speaker 1: happening in the moment that as he was raising his
Speaker 1: voice and he was telling you to go after Stacy,
Speaker 1: you were like, he likes Linda. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I got that. I noticed it. Did rider almost break
Speaker 1: You had it as a knowing smile. I had it
Speaker 1: as I thought he was about to start laughing. Interesting,
Speaker 1: I was about to start laughing. I didn't catch that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you gave a little bit of like a
Speaker 1: It was a little bit of like a mom, what's
Speaker 1: going on with Corey? Exactly where? Right? And so? And
Speaker 1: I liked that because in the moment I thought it,
Speaker 1: and then later when it comes back, I go, oh,
Speaker 1: I saw I saw the moment it happened for him.
Speaker 1: I picked it up. So we're in Chubby's. Stacey is
Speaker 1: angrily talking to Chubby trying to order a salad, and
Speaker 1: Chubby says, where do you think you are? The sizzler,
Speaker 1: and then Corey runs up behind her and tells her
Speaker 1: how to order the turkey Chubby with everything. Corey says,
Speaker 1: it's so weird to see her without Sean. He sees
Speaker 1: them as a couple, even though they've only been dating
Speaker 1: for four days. He says it feels more like five.
Speaker 1: Stacy says she doesn't even want to hear the name Sean,
Speaker 1: so Corey changes his name to Merle when talking about him. Um,
Speaker 1: he says, them arguing tore him apart, and she says
Speaker 1: that's so sweet, and Corey says she should really give
Speaker 1: Merrell a chance and go out for him for like,
Speaker 1: go out with him for like a year or two
Speaker 1: a year two. And then Linda comes over and sees
Speaker 1: Corey sitting in a booth with Stacy holding her hand
Speaker 1: and telling her how to order at Chubby's. The girls
Speaker 1: commiserate and call it his routine. Did he teach you
Speaker 1: how to order? Like so funny? Corey says, I don't
Speaker 1: have a routine. I don't have boom. Yes, the boom,
Speaker 1: the boom came out, the boom came Yes, that guys
Speaker 1: that got the boom. Yeah. When he is he does
Speaker 1: the he does kind of boom, double fist pumps. I
Speaker 1: don't think it doubled. I think it was just once.
Speaker 1: I don't have the boom. I thought he did kind
Speaker 1: of like I don't think it was a one. It
Speaker 1: was I did see that. Okay, good Uh the girls
Speaker 1: say he's not innocent, but Corey swears he's a new
Speaker 1: newborn lamb and then Ben's so funny. Yep, that was
Speaker 1: really funny. One thing I noticed about that is still
Speaker 1: going on and I wrote this specifically down it's still
Speaker 1: really all Ben carrying this show. Yeah, I mean, he
Speaker 1: still has it all on his shoulders. The entire show
Speaker 1: is Ben stressed out. Like watching Corey I was exhausted
Speaker 1: for and just like, oh my god. It literally felt
Speaker 1: like he was running, running around juggling plates. It was
Speaker 1: just like he was just like, oh my god, he's
Speaker 1: still he's he's still killing it, and it's like this
Speaker 1: is all still on Ben. That's crazy, I know. Also
Speaker 1: we have to say this, the lamb sound is like
Speaker 1: the ultimate Ben Savage joke. Even loves sounds, impressions of
Speaker 1: like weird noises, and people do like this what he
Speaker 1: would be doing behind scenes all the time. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he weird noises to make us just random sounds like
Speaker 1: he would just he would just pick up on things.
Speaker 1: I remember pointed it out to him once. I was like,
Speaker 1: Ben why do you always just obsessed with weird sounds?
Speaker 1: Or and he was just so good at it and
Speaker 1: he didn't always get to do it because I know,
Speaker 1: I think as the show went later on, Corey starts
Speaker 1: having weirder voices like do you remember when he in
Speaker 1: Maitland confronts him and he hadn't Yeah, yeah, right, like
Speaker 1: his ability to just do weird sounds or like tricks
Speaker 1: with his voice that You're just like what, I don't
Speaker 1: know why, but that's the funniest thing I've ever heard,
Speaker 1: this Lamb Bowman who lost it? But I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: Ben is the one who introduced me to the Adam
Speaker 1: Sandler comedy CDs. Of course, yea and the Jerky Boys,
Speaker 1: which Dustin listen to the Jerky Boys and the Adam
Speaker 1: Sandler all those like exactly, yeah, he loves that. That. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he as a kid, that was I was big in
Speaker 1: our lives um. And then Linda and Stacy both say
Speaker 1: poor Sean, assuming that Corey is scamming them away from
Speaker 1: their original crush, and Sean walks up just in time.
Speaker 1: Sean asks the girls to leave for a second, and
Speaker 1: both the girls seem very into him again. One says
Speaker 1: I'll see you later, and then Linda's kisses him on
Speaker 1: the cheek and says, and I'll see you after that.
Speaker 1: Wow wow, yikes. Yeah, the first kisses You've got the
Speaker 1: Riz guys love it. Corey confronts Shawn about being safe
Speaker 1: and like bubble wrap. Sean knows Corey likes Linda and says, well,
Speaker 1: that wasn't part of the plan. Corey goes off about
Speaker 1: Sean's plan, detailing it word for word, and the girls
Speaker 1: are behind him, listening to every word, both of them. Right,
Speaker 1: they're both there. Now, this was in like a lot
Speaker 1: of things, I guess, but I feel like, in particular,
Speaker 1: wasn't this a Billy Crystal bit in something where it's
Speaker 1: like they're behind someone's right, baby, It's it's like six
Speaker 1: cliquers city Slickers. Well, he does one in city Slickers
Speaker 1: like a repetitive joke. It is just this just felt
Speaker 1: very familiar to me, and I did like it, like
Speaker 1: it's funny, but it's also it felt like it's already
Speaker 1: kind of a tired joke. Yeah, it's an old it's
Speaker 1: a very old joke. There's behind me, isn't he. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very it's very old. Both to him right. Stacy
Speaker 1: says she forgot her purse and had to come back.
Speaker 1: Corey hands it to her and she hits both of
Speaker 1: the guys with it. The girls are very mad and
Speaker 1: everyone in Chubby's calls them scum in the unison, which
Speaker 1: is what Aaron remembered, and then Sewan wants to start
Speaker 1: fresh and they shouldn't treat the girls as objects. Sean
Speaker 1: says he'll thumb wrestle for the girls, and then Stacy
Speaker 1: hits him one more time. As everyone claps, Sean bows,
Speaker 1: but then Corey explains, no, they're clapping because they hate us.
Speaker 1: Sean then yells and same to you, which it's funny, funny,
Speaker 1: I like it. Corey and Sean then sit in a
Speaker 1: booth saying they miss the girls, but now Sean respects
Speaker 1: Corey because he's dangerous and he can't be trusted around
Speaker 1: the girls he likes, which I was like, guess the
Speaker 1: lesson of this show. I don't really know what we've learned.
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what point Hamlet, we've learned that
Speaker 1: if we go back to the Cuban missile crisis and
Speaker 1: the choice between I mean, you know, I heard Michael
Speaker 1: Jacobs once say that the thing that he writes over
Speaker 1: and over again and all of his shows. And this
Speaker 1: was from him during a panel that we were on
Speaker 1: and at a film festival, Our Television Best. He said,
Speaker 1: My he's like, my recurring theme is the love triangle
Speaker 1: between two male friends and a woman, Like the idea
Speaker 1: of like how do you navigate having a girlfriend and
Speaker 1: having a best friend best male friend? And it's true,
Speaker 1: like that is, yeah, the primary concern of boy Me's world.
Speaker 1: Like if you think overall, it's like there's you know,
Speaker 1: how do you love to Panga but also be best
Speaker 1: friends with Sean? And so it's already here, right, even
Speaker 1: without it being to Panga. It's like and you know,
Speaker 1: there are episodes where it lands where it's more about
Speaker 1: the relationship with the girl, and then their episodes like
Speaker 1: this one where it's really just about how two guys
Speaker 1: can be friends, you know, and like how do we
Speaker 1: navigate being friends and dating well by treating women horribly
Speaker 1: and still respecting each other in the end. But look,
Speaker 1: I just what I don't understand is how does this
Speaker 1: in particular seem as though to Corey he's now gained
Speaker 1: the respect of Sean, so he up until this point
Speaker 1: has felt like he's never had the respect of Sean,
Speaker 1: and then the actual way he feels respected is because oh,
Speaker 1: I can no longer trust you around females. I like,
Speaker 1: because you might kiss them, you'll make the moves us.
Speaker 1: I think you just answered your own question Danielle's Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how okay. I just I feel like we have
Speaker 1: seen so much more respect shared between these two truly
Speaker 1: incredible friends. Yeah. I yearned for the your Corey. I'm Sean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we are always going to be you know. That ending
Speaker 1: of that episode kind of beat as opposed to you. Also,
Speaker 1: this was one of the first episodes where the teachers
Speaker 1: essentially taught nothing. Yeah, there was no lesson from the
Speaker 1: teachers either. There was no I mean, he could correlate.
Speaker 1: Kennedy was deciding what to do in the Cuban missile crisis.
Speaker 1: So that's like dating your best friend's girlfriend. I mean,
Speaker 1: I get what he's talking about where it's his first crisis, right,
Speaker 1: but FENI didn't impart any wisdom. Turn it in't impart
Speaker 1: any wisdom. There was no you know, they kind of
Speaker 1: learned for themselves that Sean can't be around a woman. Yeah, schitzoid. Yes,
Speaker 1: that was Yeah, that was dismissive description of am. I
Speaker 1: would have actually preferred the idea of like, well, we
Speaker 1: may not have any girls here, but at least you
Speaker 1: know how to order, like, let's sake, make a joke
Speaker 1: out of it. Let's order a turkey chubby, let's share,
Speaker 1: you know, like something like, well, yeah, you know, we
Speaker 1: may have lost out on one good thing, but it's
Speaker 1: still you and me. And if this is as bad
Speaker 1: as it gets, you know, if if no, if I
Speaker 1: never have a partner in my life, but I always
Speaker 1: have you. Just something I guess a little more positive
Speaker 1: reading on it, in that Sean has been awful to
Speaker 1: Corey in the beginning of the episode, yeah, not realizing
Speaker 1: how awful he was being, just being dismissive of his friend.
Speaker 1: And then now he's not going to be a dismissive
Speaker 1: of his friends. He's not going to be like, you know,
Speaker 1: like if we just take it from that point of
Speaker 1: view of like, oh, I totally took advantage of you
Speaker 1: being a nice guy, like you being my friend, and
Speaker 1: you know, now I realized that I probably shouldn't have
Speaker 1: done that. It doesn't really come out that way, right, right,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate that perspective. And for Corey, he not
Speaker 1: feeling safe is a win for him, so he also
Speaker 1: from his own perspective, is like, yeah, danger boy again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a little danger boy. Yeah okay. I I like
Speaker 1: your idea of finishing it with a joke, though, could
Speaker 1: have been something like all right, come on, I'll get
Speaker 1: you turkey Chubby, and Sean goes, wow, that really is
Speaker 1: your only move, like something like that, and then you
Speaker 1: walk away, you know, like that's it's just better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it is time machine. Yeah okay. And then we're
Speaker 1: in the tag. We're at a car dealership. Alan and
Speaker 1: Amy are at the dealership trying to return the van
Speaker 1: because of a miscommunication. The car dealer suddenly becomes a
Speaker 1: therapist working through their marriage. Tell me about the inner Amy,
Speaker 1: and the dealer then suggests that they see him weekly.
Speaker 1: And I think this guy might have done more than
Speaker 1: one Boy Meats World episode because I really funny and
Speaker 1: I think I worked with him. I want to say
Speaker 1: he did another episode of the show. I could be wrong,
Speaker 1: but I swear he came back. I think he did perfect.
Speaker 1: He's so good. It was great. Yeah, I mean one
Speaker 1: thing I'll definitely say is it wouldn't surprise me if
Speaker 1: he comes back. We Michael Jacobs is really good about
Speaker 1: reusing actors that he likes working with. I mean we've
Speaker 1: seen already multiple different actresses and actor I mean Adam Scott,
Speaker 1: you know, played Senior and then still came back and
Speaker 1: played Griff. We have a lot of those, so I think,
Speaker 1: so yeah, that'll be interesting when it comes up. So
