Speaker 1: Forties are the new twenties. I think so too.
Speaker 2: My forties are way better than my twenties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I remember way.
Speaker 3: I remember being so excited to get out of my twenties,
Speaker 3: like when I turned thirty, Like I was so and
Speaker 3: I think my parents used to tell me that the
Speaker 3: twenties are the best, your twenties are. And I remember
Speaker 3: being in my twenties being so miserable the whole time,
Speaker 3: like so much pressure and feeling incapable of doing the
Speaker 3: things that I wanted to do. Like it was like
Speaker 3: I wanted to be achieving all the things that I
Speaker 3: felt like I should be.
Speaker 1: Able to, but I wasn't, and so I was just miserable.
Speaker 3: And everybody feels that way, right, Like I mean we
Speaker 3: had an extreme example. I mean we were extreme because
Speaker 3: we had, like, you know, a limp metal syndrome right
Speaker 3: where we're like, as teens, we'd already won the Olympics
Speaker 3: and now we're screwed.
Speaker 1: But I think most people in your twenties are like,
Speaker 1: why am I not doing all the things that I
Speaker 1: was supposed to do in ice school.
Speaker 4: I don't feel like the equivalent of what it is
Speaker 4: to be a toddler where you're like, right, I have mobility.
Speaker 4: I feel like I can't express myself, but I have
Speaker 4: all these thoughts in my head. I don't know the.
Speaker 3: Right look like a grown up. I sound like a
Speaker 3: grown up. Everyone should be treating me like.
Speaker 1: A grown up, but I don't.
Speaker 4: Grown ups seem way more grown up, But like I
Speaker 4: am a grown up? What is happening?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: I was just in one long panic attack from twenty
Speaker 2: four to thirty five. Was just anxiety for me. So
Speaker 2: it was like I erased that part of my life.
Speaker 3: Frankly, but I think that that makes sense, Like that's yeah,
Speaker 3: because that's what I was, you know. I it wasn't
Speaker 3: a panic attack for me, but I felt like I
Speaker 3: was having this conversation with a friend, like a couple
Speaker 3: months ago, they were talking about that period of my life.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, I remember we used to go hang out
Speaker 1: at your house and I was like, I was so miserable.
Speaker 3: I was like really, like yeah, I think he's like
Speaker 3: we were always hanging out and I was like yeah,
Speaker 3: and I was miserable.
Speaker 2: I think our parents generation though their twenties were our thirties,
Speaker 2: so for them for their twenties, they were like you
Speaker 2: know my dad was. My parents weren't. My mom had
Speaker 2: a baby, she was married at twenty four. My parents
Speaker 2: are both lawyers. They were, they were, like my dad
Speaker 2: was twenty seven.
Speaker 3: But so what advice would you give to like if
Speaker 3: you had your own kids, Like, how would you tell
Speaker 3: them to approach their twenties?
Speaker 1: Because I don't know how to I don't know how
Speaker 1: to avoid this, Like.
Speaker 2: How do you approach your twenties?
Speaker 3: Like what do I tell Indy, Like, here's what your
Speaker 3: twenties are all about? Yeah, because I'd feel like I
Speaker 3: was told your twenties are all about living your life
Speaker 3: and having the best time, and I was, twenties are.
Speaker 2: Really about five. I think you're finding about finding yourself
Speaker 2: and finding out what you want to do with your life.
Speaker 2: And totally that's okay. Where it's like you can be
Speaker 2: twenty six and still have no idea what you're saying.
Speaker 4: You should spend all ten years trying and failing until
Speaker 4: you find something that you don't want to fail at
Speaker 4: and that you're not going to fail at. Yes, but
Speaker 4: because that's not what I mean. We've set it up
Speaker 4: so that's what people feel like they have to do
Speaker 4: in high school. Oh, you're supposed to figuring out what
Speaker 4: you want to do. No, you are not right.
Speaker 1: No, So really high school should go all the way
Speaker 1: till twenty six.
Speaker 4: Yeah, should go until twenty six. Like if high school
Speaker 4: went to twenty two or twenty and then there was
Speaker 4: a mandatory one or two year break and then it
Speaker 4: was college to figure it all out.
Speaker 2: Because yeah, also, no, certain certain things that last forever
Speaker 2: you can maybe try to find in your twenties, but
Speaker 2: stuff like the career you're supposed to be in for
Speaker 2: the rest of your life, the relationship you're supposed to
Speaker 2: be in for the rest of your life. No, don't
Speaker 2: you don't commit to that until your he's thirty, right,
Speaker 2: I mean exactly, It's okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I were King of America, I would say
Speaker 3: I would say you finish high school at eighteen, right,
Speaker 3: which is just like basically just high.
Speaker 1: School doesn't need to be as hard as it is
Speaker 1: right now, I feel like high school high schools so advanced. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so hard and there's so much pressure.
Speaker 3: So the idea should be like high school should just
Speaker 3: be basic, like life skills like how do you balance
Speaker 3: and checkbook?
Speaker 2: We don't do that.
Speaker 3: Your basic stuff and like not you know, theoretical physics
Speaker 3: and all the stuff that it is. Right now, okay,
Speaker 3: so high school should be more basic. You finish at
Speaker 3: eighteen and then you have to go into service for
Speaker 3: two years. You have to either go in the military
Speaker 3: or just teach other kids. Teach children, so sort of.
Speaker 4: Where it doesn't have to be about you know.
Speaker 1: It's just and you have to travel.
Speaker 3: You have to leave wherever you are and go somewhere
Speaker 3: else for two years and dedicate your time.
Speaker 1: And that's just giving back to America, to the country.
Speaker 1: And then call.
Speaker 3: It starts and like twenty if you want it, if
Speaker 3: you want it, you.
Speaker 4: Can want it while you can go to focus or
Speaker 4: you want to start a business.
Speaker 3: There's no pressure until twenty and then it's like okay,
Speaker 3: now you can figure out what you want to if
Speaker 3: you want to do something.
Speaker 2: Yeah yet, oh.
Speaker 4: All right, well glad we have a plan for our
Speaker 4: children to figured it out.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 4: We've solved all of the world's problems and this is
Speaker 4: what we do here.
Speaker 1: We're only in pre show jazz.
Speaker 4: Great, we've been talking for only a few minutes and we've.
Speaker 2: Already the world's problems.
Speaker 4: God, welcome to pond Meats World. I'm Daniel Fischl, I'm
Speaker 4: Rider Strong, and I'm Wilfordell. So welcome to today's episode recap,
Speaker 4: which is season six, episode fourteen, Getting Hitched. It originally
Speaker 4: aired January twenty ninth, nineteen ninety nine. The synopsis Sean
Speaker 4: and Jack go through CHETZ trailer and Tapega think she
Speaker 4: and Corey should live together. It was directed by Jeff McCracken.
Speaker 4: It was written by Jeff Manel and guest starring. We
Speaker 4: only have one, so I'll say our guest star before
Speaker 4: we jump into our overall thoughts. Jeremy seely as student.
Speaker 4: Only two credits for Jeremy this one and as I
Speaker 4: had a job as trombonist number one on Hang Time
Speaker 4: Now is this?
Speaker 2: Yeah? That was a good one. So trombonus number one.
Speaker 2: I auditioned for that three times.
Speaker 4: Really didn't get it. No, you know what, you couldn't
Speaker 4: cry on Q That's what it was.
Speaker 2: I just like, can you cry while play the trombone.
Speaker 2: I'm like no, We'll just try to sell it.
Speaker 4: Try to sell it. And you did it three times.
Speaker 2: That was ambition as a trombone joke. By the way,
Speaker 2: I even got a trombone joke in my repertoire.
Speaker 4: People, I hope three of you enjoy that. Ex any
Speaker 4: overall thoughts before we jump into our recap, I mean.
Speaker 3: We're in a weird space, like I'm kind of now
Speaker 3: I'm coming around on season six. You just kind of like,
Speaker 3: you know, I kind of do like this is just
Speaker 3: a soap opera. Like when when we hit the recap,
Speaker 3: where we hit the recap and I was like, wow,
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, okay, you know what, the show has
Speaker 3: just become something else and it's exactly things and I
Speaker 3: kind of am like, do your thing, man, like you know,
Speaker 3: like you turned me off for a little bit.
Speaker 4: Boy meets World kind of kind of.
Speaker 1: It's like it's earning. It's it's arguing its case now.
Speaker 3: Like I'm like, you know what, Sean has been on
Speaker 3: Whiny this entire season, but now I'm kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 3: well it's coming around.
Speaker 1: It's away right, Well, it's becoming the.
Speaker 3: Thing, and I'm like, okay, I don't know, so I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 1: It's kind of winning it back in it's awful way.
Speaker 2: I agree one hundred percent everything Rider just said. I
Speaker 2: was sitting there going it's a completely different television program. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now I'm now I'm liking this version of the television program.
Speaker 2: Eric is a completely different person from from episode to episode.
Speaker 2: Matt Lawrence is becoming the best I've ever seen in
Speaker 2: my and.
Speaker 3: Like his character is such depth, and like when they kissed,
Speaker 3: I was like, what, like real kind of romance and.
Speaker 2: Like, yep, had me you had to be a hello
Speaker 2: boy mes world. Yeah, so I don't know what the
Speaker 2: hell happened, but I agree with Ryder. I liked it,
Speaker 2: and I don't know why.
Speaker 4: That's my you you know what, I agree with you guys.
Speaker 4: Here's what I'll say. My only real complaint is that
Speaker 4: I guess it's just never going to be on the
Speaker 4: table that Topega and Corey should just break up to
Speaker 4: Pega is never ever going to see that Corey does
Speaker 4: not care about her. He just wants to sleep with
Speaker 4: her and is willing to marry her to do it.
Speaker 4: That's it. The fact that they that they don't know
Speaker 4: each other, that he does not know her at all,
Speaker 4: and she goes, you know what this means, don't you
Speaker 4: we gotta live together? I'm like, oh my gosh, but okay,
Speaker 4: you know what you We've we've fully laid the foundation
Speaker 4: that that's not possible.
Speaker 2: If Topanga put out once, she'd never have to see
Speaker 2: this man again. Correct, and that happens, she and she
Speaker 2: could go.
Speaker 1: Off and be with Lauren and everybody.
Speaker 2: Take one for the team. I also love how live
Speaker 2: together in this world means spend one night together in
Speaker 2: separate beds, because that's literally what it is. Because they've
Speaker 2: said at the beginning they're not allowed to live together
Speaker 2: at the school unless they're married, so they can't live together.
Speaker 2: So Sean, I didn't understand.
Speaker 1: We're shot, Like they just pushed their beds together.
Speaker 2: And then separated them again because Tapanga is like, why
Speaker 2: are the beds together? We can't even sleep next to
Speaker 2: each other until we're married to parents and so that
Speaker 2: and then that's it.
Speaker 1: Bubble.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so again this as the Boy meets World
Speaker 2: turns is becoming one of my new favorite shoes that
Speaker 2: I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, general, boy meets.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 4: Okay, So jumping into our recap, we get an another
Speaker 4: previously on Boy meets World. Why are we Why do
Speaker 4: you think we're doing these now?
Speaker 3: Because we needed to serialize it, like it didn't make sense.
Speaker 3: But that's the thing like our show was serializing at
Speaker 3: a time when that wasn't a thing, and it's crazy,
Speaker 3: like it's such a big swing.
Speaker 1: It's such a big swing.
Speaker 3: We killed my dad and like this is this is
Speaker 3: the follow up episode to my dad dying like a comedic,
Speaker 3: like basically a joke of a character is like, I mean,
Speaker 3: it's it's so cool, like this is why, this is why,
Speaker 3: this is why people still talk to us about it,
Speaker 3: and it's like but at the time we were like, Okay,
Speaker 3: this is what But in retrospect, that is crazy, yes, and.
Speaker 1: We have to do a recap?
Speaker 2: Do do soap opera start with recaps every week? Is
Speaker 2: it like what you saw yesterday on Days of our Lives?
Speaker 4: Is that a thing I don't remember, but I feel
Speaker 4: like it has to And that's what I think the
Speaker 4: vibe there you get two days of a soap opera.
Speaker 1: Ghost We both went.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: So in this recap, we see Chet re entering the
Speaker 4: boy's life, Sean relaying realizing he's just like his dad,
Speaker 4: and Corey relaying the news that Chet had a heart attack.
Speaker 4: Then at the hospital, Sean and his dad have a
Speaker 4: tearful heart to heart but soon after Chet has another
Speaker 4: heart attack and passes away, and now we're caught up.
Speaker 4: We're at the student union. The brew Lagoon mug has returned.
Speaker 4: As Corey takes a sip of coffee to Panka sneaks
Speaker 4: behind him and covers his eyes. Corey smirks, Oh, i'd
Speaker 4: know those hands anywhere Sean to pek. A smile fades.
Speaker 4: Corey realizes his mistake and tries to move on. How
Speaker 4: you doing, honey, Sorry, I was just hoping it'd be Sean.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm sorry. I thought we were opening with the joke. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but then they played it to where he really thought
Speaker 2: it was Sean's hands.
Speaker 4: And he really wanted it to be Sean. I want
Speaker 4: and it's like, I know it should have I know
Speaker 4: it should have been.
Speaker 2: Like that's the joke, like I don't know those hands
Speaker 2: anywhere Sean, like of course, But I was like, wait,
Speaker 2: they're playing it to where he really thought it was.
Speaker 4: He really thought it was Sean, and Sean whose dad
Speaker 4: just died, decided to play peekaboo with it.
Speaker 2: With a very small, dainty girl's hands. That's the way.
Speaker 3: That's the way you react when friends your dad, your
Speaker 3: dad died, come here.
Speaker 4: Let's play pekaboo.
Speaker 2: Who'sat here? When I when I take my hands away?
Speaker 2: Your dad?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, he's still gone.
Speaker 4: Wasn't a bad dream? Wasn't a nightmare? So Topanga understands
Speaker 4: she knows Corey's worried about him. Corey admits, Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: his dad's funeral and I can't reach him. I don't
Speaker 4: know what to do. Topeka reveals I have something that
Speaker 4: will cheer you up. Corey jumps up out of his seat.
Speaker 4: Is it, Sean, it's not. Topanga pull out a box
Speaker 4: the Fiance game and like, I really t Manga. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: I have something that'll cheer you up.
Speaker 2: Do you remember shooting this No? I remember. This is
Speaker 2: the only part I remember was the four of us
Speaker 2: shooting this game and then Bill coming in.
Speaker 4: Oh really it's.
Speaker 1: A lovely see. I mean it's actually very funny. It's
Speaker 1: just funny. Yeah. How do you get into this right?
Speaker 3: Like, how do you rationalize a Fiance game to establish
Speaker 3: all the things that it needs. It's really poorly written
Speaker 3: to get into it, like this opening it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the Phoenie turned Why does PHOENI agree
Speaker 1: to do this?
Speaker 4: I know?
Speaker 3: Literally, no rationale is given. He just goes, Oh, the
Speaker 3: Fiance game I'm in, but like, what play? There's there's
Speaker 3: a million things about Fioenie that could entice him, like
Speaker 3: I don't know, like Feenie loves to teach, and like
Speaker 3: there's something about this game that is like, oh, the
Speaker 3: person who narrates it or hosts it, I don't know,
Speaker 3: But there's no reason.
Speaker 1: Is just as like, oh, I'm not going to play.
Speaker 1: I'm with you guys. Oh it's the Fiance game.
Speaker 2: I'm in? What Yeah, and then gets angry at one
Speaker 2: point just grabs Eric. I mean, it's it's kind of
Speaker 2: out of character for Feenie a little bit.
Speaker 4: But I do wish Feenie was the one who if
Speaker 4: Feenie was the one very excited about it and it
Speaker 4: was like we were kind of like, oh do you
Speaker 4: do you want to moderate it? Then I guess like
Speaker 4: then it then he could have just had a holidays
Speaker 4: are over and one of my jobs was taking care
Speaker 4: of the decorations. But now what do I do?
Speaker 2: Right Exactly, he's teaching it. I'm teaching it for my
Speaker 2: comparative literature class, like something random where it's.
Speaker 4: No reason for him to be or or tie it
Speaker 4: into his wife. Lillian and I knew each other like
Speaker 4: the back of our hands. If you two are getting married,
Speaker 4: this is a great way to see how well you
Speaker 4: know each other.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, something like that. He hands you a cup
Speaker 2: of coffee and it's like where's the sugar, you take sugar,
Speaker 2: and so something like that. Anything, yes, yep, but no
Speaker 2: they don't do any of that.
Speaker 4: Well, Corey is excited. He was going to get this
Speaker 4: for her as a gift to Benga says it's supposed
Speaker 4: to tell if you're ready to get married. Corey insists,
Speaker 4: trust me, I'm ready. She says they could play right
Speaker 4: now if they had another couple, and I'm cue Eric
Speaker 4: and Rachel walk up.
Speaker 2: Hey, totally different. Eric walks in, I love it. What
Speaker 2: do you mean because at this point now I'm so
Speaker 2: just every line is said with a weird little Every
Speaker 2: line is a joke. It's now even pushed more than
Speaker 2: it was. We were going this direction, but this episode
Speaker 2: was like, oh okay, now we're officially at insanely crazy.
Speaker 4: Eric like this, Oh yeah, this, you're very losey goosey.
Speaker 2: Yes, very lucy goosey. The whole this whole way. But
Speaker 2: you were having fun doing that, right, I mean the
Speaker 2: last it was great.
Speaker 1: Oh, you just got to come in, make the make
Speaker 1: the last, I mean, get the laughs. I mean you
Speaker 1: were just you're having fun. Here's the thing.
Speaker 2: I talked to you with some some fans at conventions,
Speaker 2: and it's true people early Eric. Some people were like,
Speaker 2: do you kind of wish later Eric was more like
Speaker 2: early Eric? And I wish early Eric was more like
Speaker 2: later Eric. If I could have played it differently, I
Speaker 2: would have had Eric more like this essentially the entire series.
Speaker 2: But it's such a change from where he was. I
Speaker 2: mean even I was thinking about how cool I was
Speaker 2: playing it with, like there's nothing better than naked ladies.
Speaker 2: Like even that line I would have been done totally
Speaker 2: differently a season later as this Eric, where everything is
Speaker 2: just wacky craziness. So but they do.
Speaker 1: Give you like you're hurt by the fact that.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think Tommy is going to be stuff. Sorry,
Speaker 2: the Tommy stuff is going to be a completely like
Speaker 2: a dramatic arc, and I had my god, alog, I mean,
Speaker 2: there's stuff there. But Eric is definitely Lucy Goosey.
Speaker 4: Now, what do you remember about shooting this scene?
Speaker 2: The thing I remember most was that when we flip
Speaker 2: over the sign, it said Penguin. For the first two
Speaker 2: takes it was spelled correctly, and I went to Glazer
Speaker 2: and I was like, why, it's got to be spelled wrong.
Speaker 2: He goes, what And I grabbed the thing and I
Speaker 2: go and I spelled it with the w's, like yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right. And then we fipped it over, and I
Speaker 2: think the writers even knew that it was spelled and
Speaker 2: we had misspelled it on the on the card. So
Speaker 2: I remember stuff like that. Uh, and then it was
Speaker 2: just the four of us laughing because it was And
Speaker 2: I think episodes like this the thing I remember the
Speaker 2: most about the funny either b or a story, whichever
Speaker 2: it was. When the other story was really dramatic, usually
Speaker 2: the cast that was in the funny story was going
Speaker 2: nuts that week. Yeah, making each other laugh, like yeah.
Speaker 3: I miserable this week, Like I have a distinct memory
Speaker 3: of breaking really, yes, I have a distinct memory of
Speaker 3: breaking down this week.
Speaker 2: We'll get into that, but yeah. No, that's just what
Speaker 2: I remember is just us shooting it and having a
Speaker 2: blast and flipping the card over, and the Phoene call
Speaker 2: was changing every every take, and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: It was nice to have it back. Is this the
Speaker 1: first Phoenie call we've had season six?
Speaker 4: It's been a while, Yes, it's been a while. I
Speaker 4: don't know that it's U season smitted. It has been
Speaker 4: a while, and it's it's a callback to the one
Speaker 4: we were like, okay, this is the one that everyone
Speaker 4: thinks of.
Speaker 2: Oh no, the one the classroom, the big the big
Speaker 2: one was the season.
Speaker 4: It was Yeah, it was that was Yeah, we can't
Speaker 4: remember it.
Speaker 2: It's pretty than seventy'll find out.
Speaker 4: So Corey invites his brother to play a game and
Speaker 4: Eric responds, what you got per quacky to Panga reveals
Speaker 4: the box and Rachel's interest is piqued. You know, I
Speaker 4: was almost engaged once we planned our whole future together.
Speaker 4: I hope he dies. Eric asks, we don't have to
Speaker 4: be engaged to play the game, do we, because that'd
Speaker 4: be okay with me. But Rachel isn't done. Not just
Speaker 4: dies burns. I want to step on his face with
Speaker 4: a golf shoes given, I know, and.
Speaker 2: Yes, I was like boyfriend coming through was like, ye,
Speaker 2: this is funny, Yeah, yep.
Speaker 4: Eric is unfazed. That's very hostile. Will you marry me.
Speaker 4: Rachel shrugs, why not? We already lived together, right, Eric
Speaker 4: agrees that's right, we've been living together ever since she
Speaker 4: moved in. He goes on to tell the actual engaged
Speaker 4: couple their toast to Peng reminds him she and Corey
Speaker 4: have been together for seventeen years. So I guess we're
Speaker 4: now nineteen years old, right? I mean, I know, so
Speaker 4: we've been together since we were two, which we said
Speaker 4: that in like the last episode, So I guess we're
Speaker 4: sticking at least with that. So I guess now we're nineteen.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but the game is set now. All
Speaker 4: they need is someone to read the questions, and Eric
Speaker 4: knows the perfect person. He spots Phoenie nearby, and we
Speaker 4: get the most exaggerated Phoene call yet. Eric assures everyone
Speaker 4: this is gonna be great. This dude can totally read.
Speaker 4: Phoene aggressively grabs Eric's shirt. I've told you a thousand times,
Speaker 4: leave me alone, I.
Speaker 2: Know, out of what's yeah.
Speaker 4: Eric simply giggles, and Phoenie smiles at everyone else. How
Speaker 4: can I help? Tapeka explains they need him as the
Speaker 4: game's moderator, and Phoenie's aghast, you interrupted my quiet cup
Speaker 4: of coffee for Then he spots the box and gasps, ooh,
Speaker 4: the fiance game. I'm brought in, telling the couples to
Speaker 4: take their seats and t Penga and Corey are excited.
Speaker 3: Idea, rewrite, guys, just this is such first draft stuff, like,
Speaker 3: just rewrite this.
Speaker 2: It's all turned the hot take. I am a hot take,
Speaker 2: which is all of the conversations we've been having the
Speaker 2: whole time about how Sean is such a different character,
Speaker 2: how Eric is such a different character. I think the
Speaker 2: character that maybe has changed the most over the last
Speaker 2: two seasons is Phoenie.
Speaker 4: Maybe.
Speaker 2: I mean he's completely because they don't know how to
Speaker 2: use him anymore. He's not in front of the classroom much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it seems like he's changed more than kind of anybody. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it's it's slid under the radar. He was supposed
Speaker 2: to go off to Jackson Hole Jackson Hole, got dragged
Speaker 2: back by Corey from Jackson How.
Speaker 1: He's from Jackson Hole. So now he's stuck. He has
Speaker 1: to teach college as opposed to fifth graders.
Speaker 4: He had that new kind of bumbling idiot thing because
Speaker 4: he was attracted to the Dean, which was really cute,
Speaker 4: but like, we don't get Dean Bolander every week, so
Speaker 4: I don't get to see him in that situation.
Speaker 2: He's grabbing Eric by the shoulder of the collar a lot,
Speaker 2: and like, this is why I can't sell my house.
Speaker 2: He's getting angry at certain times, he's they're like throwing
Speaker 2: him into things. It's he's changed, I think, almost more
Speaker 2: than anybody else on the showy Weird.
Speaker 4: Well, then we're inside Corey and Sean's dorm and Sean
Speaker 4: is inside stacking cans of soda into a pyramid, as
Speaker 4: grieving people do. And then there's a knock at the door.
Speaker 4: It's Jack, who is concerned what people do.
Speaker 2: Well, that was the original GPS. It's grieving pyramid stacking, so.
Speaker 1: People. I mean, it is the implication that like Sean's drinking,
Speaker 1: like I mean, it's.
Speaker 3: Soda too much, all right, But it would make sense
Speaker 3: if it was beers, right, Like it would actually be totally.
Speaker 4: I did a guy with a beer can pyramid? Did
Speaker 4: you really a big, big, big beer can?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, were you in like in your twenties, I
Speaker 2: hope early twenties.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I was in twenties or thirties, they
Speaker 4: really ble together. I had a long twenties. No, it
Speaker 4: was it actually was twenties. You're right, it was.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's kind of okay.
Speaker 3: He was from a while okay, and could have guessed that.
Speaker 4: So Sean doesn't even turn around because I don't want to.
Speaker 4: Jack says, they need to go down to their dad's
Speaker 4: trailer to go through his staff sewn shrugs. You do it,
Speaker 4: throw everything out. He grabs an empty soda can from
Speaker 4: his brother's hand and sets it on this sad boy pyramid.
Speaker 4: Jack asks, you grew up there, all right? You know
Speaker 4: what everything means? I wish I did, but I don't.
Speaker 4: Sean says he can tell him what everything means right
Speaker 4: there in the dorm. I had a lousy relationship with
Speaker 4: my father that I don't want to relive, so I
Speaker 4: ain't going. He falls onto his bed. Ain't I know?
Speaker 2: That's how we know Traylor.
Speaker 4: Park, so we know all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: Did you are? Is? Everybody?
Speaker 1: Please?
Speaker 2: And my I don't want to keep harping on this,
Speaker 2: but are you now? Everyone's spotting the lobster everywhere? No, no, serious,
Speaker 2: I'm not even noticed doesn't see you on the pyramid.
Speaker 2: So the pyramid thing is here, it's right next to
Speaker 2: you on the desk. Then it's hanging on the fridge
Speaker 2: in the boys apartment. It's literally magnet on the thing.
Speaker 2: Single scene they put the lobster in, and it's like,
Speaker 2: as much as I thought it was like, Oh, it's
Speaker 2: tucked away, hidden somewhere, it's not. It's just like lobster, lobster,
Speaker 2: lobster everywhere.
Speaker 4: I know when we first started talking about it, I
Speaker 4: was like, ooohs eagle eyed. I wonder if you're going
Speaker 4: to be able to spot it now will literally only
Speaker 4: see the lobster bigger than Feenie. It's so funny. He
Speaker 4: falls onto his bed, the one that has a framed
Speaker 4: picture of a bus above it. Jack persists, we need
Speaker 4: to go down. We owe it to Chet. Sean protests,
Speaker 4: we don't need to do anything. So Jack's confused, so
Speaker 4: Sewn elaborates it means that Chet was the only real
Speaker 4: link between us, so now that he's gone, I don't
Speaker 4: think you owe anybody anything. Jack breaks the tension. I'll
Speaker 4: go do it myself. There's a knock at the door
Speaker 4: and it's a student who is not Kenny from last week.
Speaker 4: He tells Sean and his brother called a half hour ago.
Speaker 4: Jack responds, yeah, he got the message and angrily.
Speaker 2: Walks out good bee.
Speaker 4: Yes, and I liked again how non reactionary Jack is
Speaker 4: because they paid off.
Speaker 2: They actually got off at the end, which is great.
Speaker 4: I know he's so for two episodes now understanding upset,
Speaker 4: but non reactionary.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: Then we're in the student union. Rachel and Eric are
Speaker 4: hysterically laughing, while their opponents, to Panga and Corey, look
Speaker 4: very concerned. Phoene reminds Corey they're waiting on his answer.
Speaker 4: He shifts in his seat and guesses tuna fish. Tapanga
Speaker 4: holds up her board and it says salmon, not tuna
Speaker 4: fish salmon. Do you know you haven't got one question right?
Speaker 4: Corey tries to laugh it off. It's just a game, honey,
Speaker 4: but Tapeka insists it's not just a game, it's our future,
Speaker 4: which I was like, No, the problem is it's all
Speaker 4: the past, not about the future. It's about You've had
Speaker 4: seventeen years to pay attention to any aspect of who
Speaker 4: I am or what I like.
Speaker 3: A perfect reflection of what we've seen on this show,
Speaker 3: which is that Corey doesn't care.
Speaker 4: Not taking in anything.
Speaker 1: She is not a real person. She He just wishes
Speaker 1: it was Sean.
Speaker 2: Yes, and he can pay. Yeah, right, that's.
Speaker 1: It, just with Sean. Sean should just take one for
Speaker 1: the team, have sex with.
Speaker 3: Corey and then he could and everybody's happy and could
Speaker 3: actually respect his partner.
Speaker 2: Pega would be in Paris with it.
Speaker 1: Beret.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, Corey scoffs, I hardly think this game is
Speaker 4: an indicator of our future. To Pega reminds him, not
Speaker 4: tuna fish. Corey understands now, yes, ma'am. Phoeney moves things
Speaker 4: right along and asking Rachel what is Eric's favorite fish.
Speaker 4: Rachel gasps she knows this one, penguin. Phoeney thinks she misunderstood,
Speaker 4: but Eric quickly holds up his board. Bam, he also
Speaker 4: wrote penguin. Rachel exclaims, I know, my man, and Eric grins.
Speaker 4: It's like we have one brain. Feoene mumbles to himself, Yes,
Speaker 4: well that's too easy, that's so good. T Vegas still
Speaker 4: can't fathom that Corey hasn't gotten one question right. Corey
Speaker 4: calls the questions ridiculous, but Tapeka reminds him, you didn't
Speaker 4: know I was right handed.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a good joke, but it's also tragic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: tragic but accurate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly anything about that.
Speaker 1: He's annoyed by her more than anything.
Speaker 2: Yes, but this is his wife and has been his
Speaker 2: whole life.
Speaker 4: And there's no other way around it. Corey admits that
Speaker 4: was bad, and to Panga size, we don't know each
Speaker 4: other at all. Phoene notices the fighting couple and declares,
Speaker 4: I think we have run out of time. Good night everyone,
Speaker 4: and he leaves. Rachel exclaims we won, and Eric admits
Speaker 4: you know each other pretty darn well, don't we. Rachel nods, yeah,
Speaker 4: but how did you know when I shower? Eric cuts
Speaker 4: her off and says, oh, that's not important.
Speaker 2: We won.
Speaker 4: In fact, they're so in sync it's scary, and this
Speaker 4: game really revealed something about them. Rachel admits they're great together,
Speaker 4: but frames it in a more just friend's way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got that vibe too, bro NICs.
Speaker 4: She tells Eric she'll see him at home, and Eric
Speaker 4: watches her leave, longing a calling out to her honey.
Speaker 4: He eventually exits, leaving Corey and Topanga alone Topega is
Speaker 4: furious Eric and Rachel know more about each other than
Speaker 4: we do. Corey writes it off, it's a stupid game.
Speaker 4: Tapega explains, you know what this means we need to do,
Speaker 4: don't you. Corey starts to panic it was a stupid, lousy,
Speaker 4: rotten game. Topanga interrupts him live together. Corey's frown turns
Speaker 4: upside down. He grabs her and shouts, this game's a genius.
Speaker 4: We're in Chet's trailer. Jack walks around the cluttered living
Speaker 4: room and wonders aloud, where do I begin? Just then
Speaker 4: Sean walks in through the door. Jack asks if he's
Speaker 4: changed his mind, and Sean explains, I didn't mean we're
Speaker 4: not brothers. I just meant that with all the stuff
Speaker 4: that's going on between me and Angela, Corey and Tapanga
Speaker 4: together all the time, and now dad dying, I don't
Speaker 4: really feel connected to anything.
Speaker 2: I really like, I want to say, I really liked
Speaker 2: this moment because it's the first time in a while
Speaker 2: that Sean is taking some accountability for U his quote
Speaker 2: unquote noess where he's realized what he said and he
Speaker 2: walked in. He's like, all right, that's not what I
Speaker 2: meant yeah, and I liked that it was it was
Speaker 2: some kind of you know, at least some sort of
Speaker 2: self Realiesty pulled.
Speaker 4: Himself out of his self wallowing for long enough to
Speaker 4: realize he owed his brother in apologies.
Speaker 3: Another person's correct recognize Yes, yeah, and it's it's it's
Speaker 3: cool too, because like what the episode is actually doing
Speaker 3: is acknowledging Jack's experience correct same way that Sean needs
Speaker 3: to acknowledge Jack. It's awesome, like it's because yeah, Matt,
Speaker 3: Matt's character given nothing, you know, like real like and.
Speaker 1: This is great.
Speaker 2: This is a great way around about Jack episode. It's
Speaker 2: totally a Jack episode is which is great. Which and
Speaker 2: Matt does a great job.
Speaker 3: He's so understated, he's so and it's it's it's actually
Speaker 3: and it's also very accurate. I mean, now that I've
Speaker 3: had so many friends lose their parents, like I feel
Speaker 3: like among siblings, this is what happens. One person makes
Speaker 3: it all about themselves and falls apart, and the other
Speaker 3: person manages and like it cleans up the and takes
Speaker 3: care of the house and the death warrant and all this,
Speaker 3: you know, like all this stuff, and it's like and
Speaker 3: and so it's a very accurate depiction. You know that
Speaker 3: Jack would do this like that's where all his emotion
Speaker 3: would go. It's like, well, I'm just gonna deal with it,
Speaker 3: and Sean would just be like, you know, it's.
Speaker 4: Great, it's absolutely Jack pulls him in for a hug
Speaker 4: and says he's here for him. Sean thanks him, then
Speaker 4: gets ready to work. He makes his way over to
Speaker 4: the kitchen table and grabs a lighter. He flicks it
Speaker 4: open and smiles before stuffing it in his pocket and writer.
Speaker 1: What I remember the one?
Speaker 4: You don't? Yes, you were all the time, all the time. Also,
Speaker 4: the minute I watched you do it, I smelled.
Speaker 2: It me do I just remember you doing the flip
Speaker 2: and you.
Speaker 4: Yes, you sure did.
Speaker 1: I never smoked. What are you?
Speaker 3: That's so nerd? I know I know how to do
Speaker 3: a zippo, But did I carry a lighter?
Speaker 2: Like? Will?
Speaker 4: Did you have one?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yes, he would, you would. We will exactly.
Speaker 2: Do the first you do the pinch on the both
Speaker 2: of it where it pops open, then you do the
Speaker 2: clip to snap it over that all the time.
Speaker 1: I have those tricks. But that's so funny. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just like that.
Speaker 3: This was an unspoken sort of character beat where it's
Speaker 3: like you see Chet, you know, like Sean's connection with
Speaker 3: Chet without having to like verbalize it, which is always
Speaker 3: the World characters do. Is like the thing about the
Speaker 3: lighter and my dad is, you know, like it's just done.
Speaker 3: It's just behavior and it tells the who speaks volumes.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I wonder if that's something you and Jeff did
Speaker 4: on your.
Speaker 2: Own worked out. Maybe I bet.
Speaker 4: I bet you and Jeff.
Speaker 1: It seems very unlike. I mean, given the way Boy
Speaker 1: Meets World has written, it.
Speaker 4: Was not he does he finds moments that they'll go unspoken. No, yes,
Speaker 4: that feels like something you and Jeff came.
Speaker 2: Up with crazy zippo story very quickly to show you
Speaker 2: why I had a zippo. I still had that zippo.
Speaker 2: Eighth grade Christmas, my friend Pat Starr and I, for
Speaker 2: all of our friends bought two cartons of Marlboro lights,
Speaker 2: like ten or twelve big lighters, and then five zippos
Speaker 2: for the closest friends. Eighth grade so we're twelve, So
Speaker 2: everybody got a pack of smokes and a lighter, but
Speaker 2: the five closest friends you all got zippos. And I
Speaker 2: had it all through boy me throw that was my
Speaker 2: twelve year old smoking lighter, got.
Speaker 1: Tricks with you?
Speaker 4: Hold on, question, did you and your eighth grade buddies
Speaker 4: have to spend your own money on this? Your parents?
Speaker 4: How did it?
Speaker 1: Money? Right right to the Gurtons of Marlboroughs.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I where did you get money to buy?
Speaker 4: And where were you buying them?
Speaker 2: Oh? No, there was no place that that carded us
Speaker 2: in town, no place whatsoever ever crazed at twelve, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we'd already been smoking for several years by that point,
Speaker 2: for years. Yeah, so that was.
Speaker 1: Our friends, my.
Speaker 4: Gosh, Okay. Then he notices Chet's financial portfolio sitting on
Speaker 4: top of the fridge. It's just a bunch of documents
Speaker 4: stuffed into a coffee can. He pulls something out and laughs,
Speaker 4: do you know what? This is? His unemployment stub number one.
Speaker 4: Dad always considered this his first honest money. So funny.
Speaker 4: He dumps out the rest of the contents and Jack
Speaker 4: rifles through the papers past due, final notice, pay up,
Speaker 4: We're not kidding this time. Jack wonders why he why
Speaker 4: he'd save them, and Sean explains Dad was a sentimental guy.
Speaker 4: Then Sean finds a paper and shows it to Jack.
Speaker 4: It's a letter to Chet from your stepdad. Jack tells
Speaker 4: him it's nothing and tries to take it before Sean
Speaker 4: can read it, but is unsuccessful, so Sean reads it aloud,
Speaker 4: don't worry about paying me back, Chet. Sean is Jack's brother,
Speaker 4: so he's practically family. We're happy to help out. Jack
Speaker 4: says once again that it's nothing, and he tries to
Speaker 4: snatch it, but Sean doesn't believe him. Pay him back
Speaker 4: for what Jack jokes for your shirt. Sean presses him again,
Speaker 4: and after a big sigh, Jack comes clean. For your tuition,
Speaker 4: Sean questions for college, and Jack admits Chet just couldn't
Speaker 4: afford it, but Sean interrupts him. You and your stepdad
Speaker 4: decided to make us the charity case of the year.
Speaker 4: Jack tells him the truth. Your dad wanted you to
Speaker 4: go to college so bad that he came to my
Speaker 4: stepfather for help. Can you imagine how hard that was
Speaker 4: for him. Sean can't believe this.
Speaker 3: It is really intense, I know, Like yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: first of all, like the part that I have a
Speaker 3: hard time with is Sean really believed Chet was helping.
Speaker 3: So that's what Sean think, but he was hoping, I guess.
Speaker 4: But here's what I'll say. The only thing that I
Speaker 4: could then point back to is just last week when
Speaker 4: he showed up at the school. He was hustling kids
Speaker 4: out of money at pool, and he was doing such
Speaker 4: a good job at it. He had a big water
Speaker 4: cash and the only reason he had to give that
Speaker 4: up is because Sean took it from him. So it's
Speaker 4: possible that it's not actually that Sean's dad never has
Speaker 4: any money. He does he can, it's just not honest,
Speaker 4: it's not reliable.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing. He's probably one of those guys
Speaker 2: who either had a pocket full of cash thousands or not.
Speaker 1: But I guess.
Speaker 3: I guess for me, Shawn's emotional story is that his
Speaker 3: dad is never there for him. If his dad was
Speaker 3: actually paying for his college in Shawn's story, so I
Speaker 3: believe that the denial is possible.
Speaker 1: But that's actually like his dad was.
Speaker 3: Taking care of him then in Shawn's mind, right, And
Speaker 3: that seems like a bigger point, like that Sean did
Speaker 3: think his dad was paying for college is huge deal,
Speaker 3: like and and and that kind of just gets glossed
Speaker 3: over into this like, oh, he wasn't actually paying, but
Speaker 3: it's like, but actually, I don't know, that's more interesting
Speaker 3: to me. And then of course, yeah, it is crazy
Speaker 3: that a stepfather would pay for a kid.
Speaker 2: Who's not Yeah yeah, well, I mean he set it
Speaker 2: up with this guy.
Speaker 1: He's just so rich.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I did it for his son, like Jack's like,
Speaker 2: come on, Sean wants to you know, we were to
Speaker 2: go to college together. I also liked the thing I
Speaker 2: really loved about this episode though, and it's something that
Speaker 2: I forgot this storyline entirely, is that even five or
Speaker 2: six episodes ago, the second Sean found out that Jack's
Speaker 2: parents were paying for the tuition, he would have bailed
Speaker 2: from the trailer park, like he would have turned and
Speaker 2: walked out. And the fact that they played the scene
Speaker 2: out and and Sean didn't leave, and you stayed there
Speaker 2: and had the conversation, I thought was just such a
Speaker 2: better way to go about it than Sean just leaving. Again.
Speaker 2: It was great, like, oh, yes, he was gonna leave.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I am going to leave, right, I mean,
Speaker 3: that's what happens next.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, we're getting there, but we delay it.
Speaker 3: So this is where I had my breakdown, Like I
Speaker 3: just remember during rehearsal for this scene, because this is
Speaker 3: where I take my shirt off, and.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I was really I was really bored by
Speaker 1: my character. I feel like, what's funny is like.
Speaker 3: In retrospect, this is actually a well written episode for
Speaker 3: Sean and this is actually a great He's finally expressing something.
Speaker 3: But I remember just being like during rehearsal, like I
Speaker 3: just lost it. I was like, I feel like I'm
Speaker 3: saying the same thing every week.
Speaker 1: I'm over and over again. I'm like, what is you know?
Speaker 3: And it's interesting because now I look at it and
Speaker 3: I'm like, actually, my character is finally expressing himself.
Speaker 1: This is good. But for I don't know.
Speaker 3: I guess maybe I was just tired of being on
Speaker 3: the show and I was like, why are they keep
Speaker 3: throwing drama at me? And now looking at it, right,
Speaker 3: this is on the heels of an episode where they
Speaker 3: killed my father and really put a lot of pressure
Speaker 3: on us as actors, you know, pressure on Blake and
Speaker 3: Matt and me. And so I think what I was
Speaker 3: really reacting to was not like the given like a
Speaker 3: problem with the way this scene was written or whatever,
Speaker 3: but just feeling all this pressure to like suddenly have.
Speaker 1: To do all this drama. Yeah, I think I was, like,
Speaker 1: you know, wishing I could be like more in the
Speaker 1: B Story where it was just fun.
Speaker 2: I have about to say, this just shows how self
Speaker 2: absorbed we kind of were as people and as actors,
Speaker 2: because I would sit there and watch you and go like,
Speaker 2: why don't they give me any of that? Why didn't
Speaker 2: I ever get a chance to do any of that?
Speaker 2: Where actually, when we're going back and watching the show,
Speaker 2: they gave me a lot of that. Yeah, I had,
Speaker 2: I had quite a bit of the dramatic stuff, but
Speaker 2: in my head, oh, I'll just be in the goofball
Speaker 2: again and they're gonna Rider's gonna go off and win
Speaker 2: an Emmy, and hey, let's cut to Will as he dances.
Speaker 2: Where there was actually a decent balance.
Speaker 3: Absolutely man like, and I think that that's that speaks
Speaker 3: to the bubble that we were in. Yeah, and also
Speaker 3: the environment on set, like there was an understanding on
Speaker 3: set right about like our talents and about our abilities,
Speaker 3: and like we were kind of played against each other,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like, I mean, you and
Speaker 3: I always had like a lot of mutual respect and
Speaker 3: we were but but there was this sense of like
Speaker 3: what are they getting over there? And like why you know,
Speaker 3: like Will is the real comedy actor, and like I
Speaker 3: felt like I wasn't allowed to have fun.
Speaker 2: Like I was. I felt exactly. I was like, well,
Speaker 2: Writerer's the actor, right, and I'm the guy. They're just
Speaker 2: going to tap dance so they can laugh and then
Speaker 2: let's cut to Rider being the actual actor on the show, right,
Speaker 2: And didn't you feel.
Speaker 3: Like Danielle was lucky to be there? Which is awful
Speaker 3: but true, that was the feeling. I'm like, I look
Speaker 3: at it now and I'm like, Danielle was amazing obviously, but.
Speaker 1: Like and of course the actual but like, at.
Speaker 3: In the environment of our set, wasn't it sort of
Speaker 3: a given that, like Danielle is just kind of there
Speaker 3: to be pretty and like not really and like that's
Speaker 3: the way the character's written. It sucks man like.
Speaker 2: That of the show. Yes, it was like he was
Speaker 2: the one in charge, right, you were the dream I
Speaker 2: was the funny guy.
Speaker 4: Well, and we've learned how how the girls were positioned
Speaker 4: against each other. Apparently Trina and Maitland were both led
Speaker 4: to believe I was going to be very jealous of that.
Speaker 2: Where you have told us that You're like you'd wake
Speaker 2: up every morning going like, I wonder if this is
Speaker 2: the week I'm going to get fired. I'm done on
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 4: And on top of that, by the time we get
Speaker 4: to season six, when when Maitland's even arrived, I am
Speaker 4: like so sick of feeling like I'm lucky to be there,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, please get me the f out of here.
Speaker 4: I'll go anywhere.
Speaker 2: I'll go back to.
Speaker 4: High school, which is like I'm obsessed with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, was this done on purpose?
Speaker 4: Do you think I think it's all I think powerplay stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, you have to, Like, I mean,
Speaker 3: we're we might get canceled at any moment, right, It's
Speaker 3: an ongoing tightrope walk that our show was doing. So
Speaker 3: but it just sucks in retrospect, like that I that
Speaker 3: we couldn't just enjoy being there.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think like, as a.
Speaker 3: Grown up being on a sitcom, it would been it
Speaker 3: would have been so nice to just like hang with
Speaker 3: you guys and not have that sense. But like I
Speaker 3: felt a lot of pressure and I felt a lot like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's a weird Yeah it was.
Speaker 2: It was a strange. Yet it was a very strange
Speaker 2: dynamic all the way through, And it's strange to watch
Speaker 2: it back now because what I see and what I
Speaker 2: remember are two completely different things.
Speaker 1: Exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah. That's the thing where it's like there was a
Speaker 2: very good balance for Eric of Drop, but that's not
Speaker 2: how I saw it in my head. I was on
Speaker 2: a whole different show where I was just the wacky,
Speaker 2: goofy guy and that was it. So yeah, man, it's
Speaker 2: god so strange.
Speaker 4: Well, Sean can't believe this. What else did you get me? Jack?
Speaker 4: He assures him that was it, but Sean won't let
Speaker 4: it go. Did you buy my books? Jack admits maybe
Speaker 4: some books. Sean questions, my shirt? Really? Jack tries to
Speaker 4: joke again, I would never pay for that shirt. Sean
Speaker 4: doesn't even crack a smile. Jack tries to explain, I'm
Speaker 4: just trying to help out. That's what families do. We
Speaker 4: help each other out. Sean wonders, well, how have I
Speaker 4: helped you out? Which I loved?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Like, you're right right? This is so well written for him.
Speaker 1: It is no, this is like the best Sean and
Speaker 1: jacksone ever. Yeah, it's so nice.
Speaker 3: It's wonderfully played by Matt wonderfully written for both of
Speaker 3: our characters. It's true, it feels honest. Nobody's like a
Speaker 3: bad person. It's just the conflict feels totally real.
Speaker 1: It's really good. It's really it's.
Speaker 4: Really well done. Yeah, and he begins to unbutton his shirt.
Speaker 4: We're family, right, tell me one thing I've done to
Speaker 4: help you out. He shoves his flannel in Jack's chest
Speaker 4: and forces him to take it. It doesn't belong to me,
Speaker 4: nothing belongs to me.
Speaker 1: I actually remembered being topless in this scene, so I
Speaker 1: wonder if.
Speaker 3: That was also part of why I freaked out, because
Speaker 3: they were making me take my shirt off, and originally
Speaker 3: I was supposed to.
Speaker 1: Be topless and I was like, why am I?
Speaker 3: And the reason I remember that is because Matt Lawrence
Speaker 3: is just the nicest, the nicest guy. I remember him being.
Speaker 1: Like, you look good, dude, you look No, you're like you.
Speaker 2: Know I was.
Speaker 3: I never worked out, like I was never cared about it,
Speaker 3: but like I remember, he was totally like, no, you're
Speaker 3: looking good man. He was supportive of the fact that
Speaker 3: I remember him telling me that.
Speaker 1: To just be like it's it's good man.
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, I promise you're not gonna you're not gonna
Speaker 4: watch this and be uncomfortable exactly.
Speaker 1: He was such a just such a men like best Yeah, other.
Speaker 2: Than one director, I don't remember him having a single
Speaker 2: problem with anybody on the set ever. No, never, No,
Speaker 2: he was just that guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the nicest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he really was.
Speaker 4: He's still the nicest. He's still you don't like him?
Speaker 2: I hate that guy. No, yeah, he's the nicest person ever.
Speaker 4: Eric knocks on Corey's door, first, checking the hallway payphone
Speaker 4: for change. That's obviously just you, right.
Speaker 2: It was you. He still did every day, I know,
Speaker 2: just over.
Speaker 4: It's like when the Minute Writer did that with the zippo.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, that's so teenage writer.
Speaker 4: In the minute you did that, I was like, that's
Speaker 4: so will walking basket Payphone's just so cute. Well, so
Speaker 4: Corey tells him it's open. Eric jumps when he enters,
Speaker 4: seeing Corey posing on his bed in red silk pajamas
Speaker 4: on top of a matching silk blanket. You weren't expecting me,
Speaker 4: were you? Half? Corey frantically jumps up, What is it to?
Speaker 4: Pang is coming over? Eric takes a seat at his desk.
Speaker 4: You saw how in sink Rachel and I were. It's
Speaker 4: obvious to me that we were meant to be together.
Speaker 4: By the way, Will talking about the balance, I love
Speaker 4: how real you play, this real feeling you have for
Speaker 4: Rachel instead of all the bs we saw in those
Speaker 4: first couple of episodes of like.
Speaker 2: Hey, I get away from Marc.
Speaker 4: He's fine, Like right, that over the top exaggeratedness has
Speaker 4: gone completely away, and now it's a real honest I
Speaker 4: think there could be something here with this this girl. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think I actually like her, and it's so well done.
Speaker 4: So you guys both excuse and they.
Speaker 2: Still ever explain why all of a sudden you're allowed
Speaker 2: to live together in the dorms when you originally weren't allowed.
Speaker 2: That was the whole point.
Speaker 4: By the way, we never got that official word. It
Speaker 4: was the parents said they don't let you live together
Speaker 4: unless you're married, right, Like wasn't it wasn't it amy and.
Speaker 2: Allan official Okay?
Speaker 4: I think it was just that you in college, can.
Speaker 2: You can you live with a girlfriend in your dorm?
Speaker 2: And yes, if you're a.
Speaker 1: Free teen, who cares? I mean if it's a co ed.
Speaker 2: I mean some.
Speaker 3: Dorms are right, right, right, separated by gender. But if
Speaker 3: it's not.
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 4: Yeah, So, okay, you saw how in sank Rachel and
Speaker 4: I were. It's obvious to me that we were meant
Speaker 4: to be together. Corey simply responds, congratulations and get out,
Speaker 4: but Eric doesn't budge that's not the problem. But Corey
Speaker 4: tells him to get out again, but Eric elaborates the
Speaker 4: problem is Jack. Ever since Rachel moved in, there's been
Speaker 4: an unspoken competition between the two of them six episodes.
Speaker 2: If it's done in pantomime, I do my my little
Speaker 2: nod to Robin Williams in this scene too, if anybody else. So,
Speaker 2: you notice how I sit on the chair like I
Speaker 2: sit backwards on the chair. I put I sit my
Speaker 2: butt on it, but then I put my legs over
Speaker 2: the top of the chair.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So the the audition for uh, Mork and Mindy, they
Speaker 2: he walked in. There's a famous sitcom story where he
Speaker 2: walked in and I think it's Gary Marshall said to him,
Speaker 2: so you're from another planet. Uh, how would you sit
Speaker 2: in a chair? Just this is your audition, sit in
Speaker 2: a chair like you're from another planet? And he walked
Speaker 2: over and he sat. He put his head on the
Speaker 2: chair and he sat upside down with this like did
Speaker 2: like a headstand on the chair with his legs going.
Speaker 2: So whenever I had a chance to like sit in
Speaker 2: a chair completely different way than anybody else, I was like,
Speaker 2: I got a morek and mindy it I got him
Speaker 2: MOREK and mindiate.
Speaker 4: That's so cute.
Speaker 1: Your brand was working in so many ways.
Speaker 2: Just sitcum. It's like all sitcum.
Speaker 4: Then Eric gets dark and very dramatic. Eerie music plays
Speaker 4: in the background sometimes at night. I imagine he gets killed,
Speaker 4: but then he quickly snaps out of it. He says
Speaker 4: that Jack is his best friend, so if this thing
Speaker 4: works out with Rachel, he has to be okay with it.
Speaker 4: Corey insists that if he and Rachel really care about
Speaker 4: each other, Jack is bound to understand. Eric asks, you
Speaker 4: really think so, and Corey admits I couldn't care less.
Speaker 4: Now get out. On his way out, Eric tells him
Speaker 4: he's a good brother. Justice to Panga arrives. Eric notices
Speaker 4: her duffel bag. Would you bring toys, which I think
Speaker 4: is supposed to be like a kid.
Speaker 2: Kid to I don't think you don't have read toys?
Speaker 4: It read a sex toys and yeah, because he's dressed
Speaker 4: like Hugh Hefner and he's in the set, and and
Speaker 4: then and you know we're spending the night together, and
Speaker 4: so toys just I don't know.
Speaker 3: Your whole sex toys even like a phrase back then, though,
Speaker 3: I feel like that's a more contemporary thing.
Speaker 2: Really you think them? Yeah, sex toys is a thing? Yeah,
Speaker 2: come on, writer, Okay, the first vibrator is gas powered.
Speaker 3: I understand that sex toys existed, But did you call
Speaker 3: them sex toys?
Speaker 2: I think so?
Speaker 4: I think so? Yeah, what else would you have called them?
Speaker 4: Love making tools?
Speaker 2: Oh? I like that love making?
Speaker 1: This is serious work, This has grown up stuff.
Speaker 2: This her tools here in the party is we use
Speaker 2: love making tools? Wow? Look at her excitement.
Speaker 1: I'm genuinely curious about this.
Speaker 3: Like it feels more like an early ought teens thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yes, okay, please let us know what you call.
Speaker 4: She gives him a weird look before walking in. Corey
Speaker 4: asks her, what do you think of my silk pajamas?
Speaker 4: They cost me two thousand dollars to Panga admits they're nice,
Speaker 4: then wonders why are the beds pushed together? Corey sits
Speaker 4: on the now large bed. Well, we are going to
Speaker 4: be living together, so I just assumed that, Tapanga interrupts. Corey,
Speaker 4: you and I are living together to get closer as
Speaker 4: a couple. This needs to be an ordinary night where
Speaker 4: we behave just as ourselves, nothing special. Sex is the
Speaker 4: last thing we should be doing. Corey's disappointment is palpable.
Speaker 4: He sticks his finger into Panga's face. And you are wrong,
Speaker 4: You just are Oh god, oh no, what did.
Speaker 1: You If you google sex toys, it's a whole other thing.
Speaker 2: Did you know that sex toys date back over twenty
Speaker 2: eight thousand years ancient fallacies were made from stone, bronze.
Speaker 2: But that's hamshit, dung oh and bread. Yes you heard me, bread.
Speaker 4: Yes, you heard me.
Speaker 2: Bread. I know the camel. And then there's a picture
Speaker 2: of the world's oldest dildo.
Speaker 4: Wow, looks like bread.
Speaker 1: That's not the question you're asking. You're asking did sex
Speaker 1: toys exist?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, I just asked when did the term sex
Speaker 2: toys originate? And this is what came out of the
Speaker 2: bread of the bread se the the sex toys, And
Speaker 2: yeah it doesn't hmmm, marital aids is what they were?
Speaker 4: Really aids?
Speaker 2: Yeah. Alternative terms for sex toy included adult toy and
Speaker 2: the dated euphemism adult toys.
Speaker 4: Is is that what I said? Adult toy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, adult toy.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, God, I guess adult toys makes sense.
Speaker 2: It does marital aid makes sense. I mean, there's I
Speaker 2: can't I can't believe we're having this conversation and that bone.
Speaker 2: Ivory Tall Oh jeez, yeah, there's a lot. Yeah. And
Speaker 2: the first vibrator was made in the eighteen eighties. Imagine
Speaker 2: trying that out for the first time.
Speaker 4: Wow. Okay, well, well to Penga ignores the dramatics. I'm
Speaker 4: looking very forward to spending all the next few days
Speaker 4: together getting to know you better than I ever have before.
Speaker 4: Cory Scoff's Well, if I would have known we were
Speaker 4: just going to do that, I would have bought the
Speaker 4: flannel pajamas with the feet. He angrily blows out a
Speaker 4: candle before continuing in his fit of rage instead of
Speaker 4: the silk pajamas and the silk blankets and these silk sheets.
Speaker 4: He jumps onto the bed quite forcefully and slides right off,
Speaker 4: sending him to the other end, knocking over Sean's sad
Speaker 4: tower of soda it's.
Speaker 2: Crazing cann Yeah, he slams into that wall. My question is,
Speaker 2: does does Corey at this point not know that they're
Speaker 2: not having sex until marriage? I mean, it's just not
Speaker 2: going to happen.
Speaker 1: I also, I mean, I think it's kind of funny.
Speaker 1: I think it's a good bit, Like it's just as
Speaker 1: much drying. I think it's funny, Like, I mean totally.
Speaker 3: The fact the bummer is that it reduces Topanga to
Speaker 3: a joke, right. The bummer is that it reduces to
Speaker 3: or makes to Panga as a character, just the like
Speaker 3: shrill you know withholding woman. That's a bummer. But take
Speaker 3: it as like a bit like the idea that like
Speaker 3: Corey is just trying is really funny. I think it
Speaker 3: begs for good frustration. It's like, can me think about
Speaker 3: the poem episode when he's like, that's funny, Like I
Speaker 3: like Corey being neurotic and crazy about the I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's it's yeah, it's just the other side is not good.
Speaker 4: Like yeah, both if we got both that very clearly
Speaker 4: loved and adored her and knew her and worshiped her.
Speaker 3: Or just imagine if we had an episode where Tapega
Speaker 3: wanted to also have sex, but you know, but had
Speaker 3: reasons like I don't know, I guess religious reasons to
Speaker 3: not lose her virginitator. Like it would be funny if
Speaker 3: she also had desires, right, Like, wouldn't.
Speaker 4: They She used to remember, we used to say she
Speaker 4: would when he would want to do when they'd plan
Speaker 4: their nights away, and she didn't. You it's my I
Speaker 4: don't trust myself. I also want to do this, yeah,
Speaker 4: and like, but yet it's important to me, for whatever reason,
Speaker 4: it's important to me that we wait, and and yet
Speaker 4: I want to. So it was played that way before
Speaker 4: and now it's played. And Topanga also somehow finds this
Speaker 4: cute because in the episode a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 4: when she said to Angela, isn't my patient little Corey.
Speaker 2: C Yeah, it's really not.
Speaker 4: It's not cute. But that's the dynamic that they've set up,
Speaker 4: is that Topanga is with and and thinks it's cute
Speaker 4: that she's toying with him.
Speaker 2: The tiniest little switch for this episode, the tiniest little
Speaker 2: change that could have made the difference, is that Corey
Speaker 2: actually gets everything right in the game about Topanga, and
Speaker 2: it's Topanga that gets the things wrong about Corey so
Speaker 2: that she wants to mass so then she's like, we
Speaker 2: need to spend the night, we need to move in together,
Speaker 2: where he's like, no, of course, I know your left head.
Speaker 3: Like if everything about her, he keeps obsessed with her,
Speaker 3: and she's all these years.
Speaker 4: Well even if she didn't take it for granted, even
Speaker 4: if it's more she actually has, She's like, no, it
Speaker 4: is tune. No, remember that night we went to such
Speaker 4: and such and it was tune And he was like,
Speaker 4: that was just that place that one time, but overall
Speaker 4: my favorite fish of salmon. Like if she thought she
Speaker 4: really knew him and had reasons to think she was
Speaker 4: getting the answers right, only then to find out, oh
Speaker 4: my gosh, yeah I don't know you. I don't know
Speaker 4: you want like that well because that because you could
Speaker 4: save them both that way, he's completely obsessed with her.
Speaker 4: She thought she was right, had a great answer for it,
Speaker 4: but no, you didn't pay enough attention. You weren't looking
Speaker 4: looking close enough.
Speaker 2: If he was the one, it was like, you didn't
Speaker 2: even know I was right handed. She's like, yeah, that
Speaker 2: was bad, that was Yeah, it changed everything.
Speaker 4: Then we're in Chet's trailer. Sean has now taken his
Speaker 4: jeans off and thrown them in Jack's face. He points
Speaker 4: to his boxers and asks, are you sure you didn't
Speaker 4: buy these two? Jack begs him, don't take those off.
Speaker 4: Sean continues, I don't want to spend my life being
Speaker 4: a handout case. Jack tries to tell him he understands,
Speaker 4: but Sean shouts, no, you don't, you don't. Jack's Jack's
Speaker 4: eye and Sean quickly cools down. I don't expect you to.
Speaker 4: It's not your fault. I appreciate what you and your
Speaker 4: stepdad did for me. What a beautiful scene. You guys
Speaker 4: are having two multiple scenes. It's just so great. Jack wonders,
Speaker 4: then why can't you just accept it and move on?
Speaker 4: And Sean responds, move on from what? Nothing is? What
Speaker 4: I thought it was. I don't know what I am anymore.
Speaker 4: Jack assures him, you're my brother in his underwear, Sean
Speaker 4: cracks a smile. Jack begs him to please get dressed
Speaker 4: and throws his clothes back at him. Sean promises, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna pay you back for everything. Jack lets him know
Speaker 4: you want to pay me back. Let me know who
Speaker 4: my father was. Ah ah it's great, beautiful.
Speaker 2: Also, minus the father stuff, this would have been at
Speaker 2: Corey Shaan seen three seasons. Yes, yeah, right, so yeah,
Speaker 2: that's great.
Speaker 4: Sean doesn't understand, so Jack explains, why do you think
Speaker 4: I wanted to come down here so badly? I wanted
Speaker 4: to find out just a little something about him. Sean's
Speaker 4: convinced Jack knows more about him than he does, but
Speaker 4: Jack wants to know the important stuff. At least Sean
Speaker 4: has memories with him. Jack was gone before he could
Speaker 4: have any. Jack was gone, or Chet was gone. Chet
Speaker 4: Chet was gone before he could have any, and now
Speaker 4: that he's gone, he'll never have any. Sean thinks that
Speaker 4: might be a good thing, because Jack's okay, he's the
Speaker 4: lucky one. There's no need for him to go through
Speaker 4: this kind of pain.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. That line right there is just it says
Speaker 2: everything for the episode. It's like, there's no you didn't
Speaker 2: know him, so you're not going through anything, and it's
Speaker 2: just it's there's no reason for you to go through
Speaker 2: what I'm going. I'm glad you're not feeling anything right now,
Speaker 2: you're feelings because you know that that Jack's going through
Speaker 2: stuff too, and his feelings are just being diminished just regard.
Speaker 2: Oh it's great, it's really good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is like like low key one of the
Speaker 3: most like erman like well plotted character arcs drama wise
Speaker 3: in an episode because we don't like it because because it's.
Speaker 1: A Jack episode.
Speaker 3: You're right, and it just takes it's a time bomb
Speaker 3: and it just takes its time to get there and
Speaker 3: it never is like spelled out in any Really it's
Speaker 3: it's really really well done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very well done. It's very layered. So yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a sleeper hit. It is.
Speaker 4: Back in Cory and t Banga's dorm. To Penga is
Speaker 4: in a robe, laying on her bed, covering her face
Speaker 4: with the book she's reading. Corey walks in from the
Speaker 4: co ed bathroom, toothbrush in his mouth, around his neck,
Speaker 4: humming to himself. To Panga moves the book, revealing a
Speaker 4: bright green face mask. Corey screams in fear and to
Speaker 4: Panga gives him a sad look. He quickly corrects himself,
Speaker 4: I do remember.
Speaker 2: This mask too. I remember this whole scene with you,
Speaker 2: and it's onion dip.
Speaker 4: It was it's onions. Well yeah, well it's food coloring,
Speaker 4: so I think it's yogurt with an onion dip mix
Speaker 4: so that you get the onion like little chinks. Yeah uh,
Speaker 4: he quickly corrects himself. I mean you look nice. Topanga explains,
Speaker 4: it's face cream. It keeps keeps her skin soft. Corey pleads,
Speaker 4: take it off. It scares me. Corey sits on his
Speaker 4: bed and removes his slippers to begin a toenail clipping routine,
Speaker 4: so something he does every night or no, because.
Speaker 2: He said he hadn't cut it into year.
Speaker 1: Geez.
Speaker 4: While the nail flies directly onto Tapanga's face toenail clipping.
Speaker 1: God also have done something else. We could figure it
Speaker 1: out another so gross, let's just come up with another bit.
Speaker 4: I just like, I still don't understand why Corey had
Speaker 4: in his mind a big sexy night, even though now
Speaker 4: is he trying to punish her?
Speaker 2: Like? Is he? Is he?
Speaker 4: Because otherwise why I'll be like, I'm not going to
Speaker 4: cut my toenails tonight to PEG's here, like I don't
Speaker 4: want to turn her off. I don't know. It just
Speaker 4: feels like you also got.
Speaker 2: Your toenails before sex night. That's the whole point prepared
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, come on.
Speaker 4: She yelps in pain. Get it off of me, Get
Speaker 4: it off of me. Corey calls her a baby because
Speaker 4: it's just a toenail. Tepegan winds which toe and Corey
Speaker 4: grin's the big Daddy.
Speaker 2: But it wasn't. Did you notice he cut one of
Speaker 2: the small little ones? Did he? But he said it
Speaker 2: was the big He said it was the big Daddy.
Speaker 4: Tapega asks when he last clipped it, and Corey guesses,
Speaker 4: I don't know a year ago. Tapanga demands him to
Speaker 4: get it off of her. It's stuck on her face somewhere.
Speaker 4: Corey groans, gosh, take it easy, you baby, it's just hygiene.
Speaker 4: He starts searching her face for the toenail, and that's
Speaker 4: when Eric barges in, you know something, I was so
Speaker 4: in my own thing. I forgot to give you a
Speaker 4: little brotherly advice on this whole living together situation. Then
Speaker 4: he sees to pang his green face. First thing you're
Speaker 4: gonna have to do is get rid of the alien,
Speaker 4: call Mulder and Scully. They don't know what to do. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I love it, my favorite show at the time, Tapeka
Speaker 4: tells Eric it's her. Eric lights up. Pangy dang girl,
Speaker 4: you look bad. He points out, Oh, you got a
Speaker 4: toenail right here. Look at that. He holds it in
Speaker 4: his finger and wonders ground rule. Double Corey nods, yeah,
Speaker 4: off the green monster. Eric grabs the clippers. He's up.
Speaker 4: He begins to take off his shoe, but Topanga isn't
Speaker 4: having it. Get out. That's fine with Eric. He has
Speaker 4: his little kum quat at home, but there is one
Speaker 4: thing he wants to do before he leaves. He grabs
Speaker 4: Topanga's face and starts squeezing it, leaving his fingers covered
Speaker 4: in green stuff. He eventually finishes, peace, I'm out of
Speaker 4: here as he.
Speaker 1: Leaves eats it.
Speaker 2: I remember that the third take of doing it too,
Speaker 2: because you can hear the audience go like, yes, I
Speaker 2: hadn't done it before. Yeah, this first time I licked
Speaker 2: my fingers. Yeah. I just remember I was just trying
Speaker 2: to make you laugh, because the whole time I was
Speaker 2: just like shaking your face I Will, like just trying
Speaker 2: to see if I could get you to break, and
Speaker 2: you didn't.
Speaker 3: This is a truly bizarre scene like one going on.
Speaker 1: It's just silliness. It's just like, let's get Will in
Speaker 1: there and do some silliness. It's yeah, yep.
Speaker 4: And then as he leaves, he sticks a finger of
Speaker 4: the green stuff into his mouth, and the inmates find
Speaker 4: this disgusting.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: Now alone again, to Pega looks at Corey with utter disappointment.
Speaker 4: Even that knows you better than I do. Corey tells
Speaker 4: her to relax. It's only because he and Eric have
Speaker 4: lived together. To Pega size, maybe this wasn't such a
Speaker 4: good idea, but Corey assures her it is. Anytime you
Speaker 4: and I are together, it is always a good idea.
Speaker 4: To Peka tells Corey she's going to wash up now
Speaker 4: with noticeably less green on her face than the prior shot,
Speaker 4: and then they can go to sleep. She leaves, and
Speaker 4: Corey straightens up his sheets and then shakes his pillow
Speaker 4: ten times. Topanga watches from the door in utter shock,
Speaker 4: and then decides to just leave. Corey continues his nighttime routine,
Speaker 4: which includes winding up his alarm clock, straightening the sheets
Speaker 4: on the other end, and saying a prayer aloud. As
Speaker 4: an acoustic guitar begins to play. He asks God to
Speaker 4: bless his mother and father and asks that the new
Speaker 4: baby be blessed and live a good life and be
Speaker 4: a good person. He asks that Eric, Morgan, Jack and
Speaker 4: Sean be blessed as well, and asks that they please
Speaker 4: get through this tough time. He also asks that Chet
Speaker 4: be taken care of and that Sean not go too crazy.
Speaker 4: Then Topanga walks in undetected. He asks that Angela be
Speaker 4: blessed and that she and Sean always be together. Not
Speaker 4: that he's pushing one way or another. He just wants
Speaker 4: everyone to be happy. And lastly, he asks that Topanga
Speaker 4: be blessed. She's now staring at him and smiling just
Speaker 4: five feet away. He has no idea she's there. No,
Speaker 4: he thanks God, she's not care big deal. Everyone has a.
Speaker 2: Catolog Yeah, and he's doing it right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's doing his right now. He thanks God for
Speaker 4: bringing her to him and asks that they always be
Speaker 4: together no matter what happens, even if they're not completely compatible,
Speaker 4: let them learn to be completely compatible to Pega then
Speaker 4: takes a seat next to him and starts her own prayer.
Speaker 4: She asks that Corey be blessed. He's the greatest guy
Speaker 4: she's ever known and someone she can't wait to spend
Speaker 4: the rest of her life with. Then she turns to
Speaker 4: face Corey. You want to know why, because I want
Speaker 4: to change everything about you. The audience laughs as Corey
Speaker 4: lovingly takes her hand. The sweet ending so see, and
Speaker 4: a funny joke for Pegga. And then we're in the apartment.
Speaker 4: Jack's at the kitchen table looking through Chet's financial portfolio.
Speaker 4: When Rachel enters. She wants to know how it went
Speaker 4: at the trailer park, and Jack says Sean came down.
Speaker 4: She asks if he's doing okay, and Jack shrugs, I
Speaker 4: don't know, I hope. So Rachel inquires, well, how about you.
Speaker 4: Jack insists, oh, I'm fine, Yeah, I'm good. See I'm
Speaker 4: the lucky one because I don't have to go through
Speaker 4: any of that pain. Clearly sad, he takes a deep breath.
Speaker 4: I just didn't even know him. Rachel quickly comes to
Speaker 4: a side to comfort him. Jack's now on the verge
Speaker 4: of tears. It's just that I'm trying not to get
Speaker 4: in the way of his grief. But I'll just never
Speaker 4: get to know my real dad. Rachel explains, I know,
Speaker 4: but you can't keep this inside. You just can't. Jack
Speaker 4: insists that he can, and then he leans into Rachel
Speaker 4: for a hug. She holds him and strokes his hair,
Speaker 4: telling him it's going to be okay. He pulls away,
Speaker 4: but she continues to hold him. They stare into each
Speaker 4: other's eyes and then they kiss.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Rachel is a great moment Like this the
Speaker 3: kiss felt real, it was like it was earned.
Speaker 1: Their performances were just great.
Speaker 3: I was like, this is one of the best kisses
Speaker 3: on Boy Meets World, Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like, because we have lots of kisses on the show
Speaker 1: that are just.
Speaker 3: Like like just a kiss, but this was like actually
Speaker 3: a character beat.
Speaker 1: Like you watch them change, It's like, this is a
Speaker 1: kiss you you you have on a show?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Really? And they kiss it all together. It looks good,
Speaker 2: Like like, I agree with you. It was intriguing, it
Speaker 2: was characters earned, it was passionate. It was great, a
Speaker 2: very good kiss.
Speaker 4: I also think they set it up perfectly where it
Speaker 4: really came out. You were not expecting that this episode
Speaker 4: was going with that. You just did not You did
Speaker 4: not see it coming. They start to fully make out
Speaker 4: and that's when onque Eric walks in. He hangs his
Speaker 4: head in sadness and walks.
Speaker 1: And they don't notice because.
Speaker 2: Nobody don't you tongue deep in each other?
Speaker 4: So at this point, yeah, they're about to bring out
Speaker 4: the marital aids. And then we're back in Jet's trailer.
Speaker 4: Sean's rifling through some more of his dad's things when
Speaker 4: Corey walks in. Sean's happy to see him, and Corey
Speaker 4: thanks his best friend for letting him have the room
Speaker 4: last night. Sean wonders how things went, and Corey tells him, so.
Speaker 1: Do you know they're moving in together by having one night?
Speaker 4: Yes, we were spending a couple of days together, which
Speaker 4: is what she said. Yeah, she said where we should
Speaker 4: live together. But living together is like when you move
Speaker 4: somewhere for a couple of weeks and you say I
Speaker 4: lived in Seattle once, and really you just meant you
Speaker 4: spent some time there.
Speaker 2: So true.
Speaker 4: Uh, you know what the best part about being a
Speaker 4: virgin is? Sean doesn't get it. What, but Corey clarifies, no,
Speaker 4: I'm asking.
Speaker 2: It's so funny.
Speaker 4: Corey changes the subject, asking Sean how he's doing. Sean admits,
Speaker 4: I've been so angry. I haven't been able to see straight.
Speaker 4: But now that Angela is not in my life anymore,
Speaker 4: and my dad's gone, I figure it's a good chance
Speaker 4: for me to get out of here. Corey agrees, yeah,
Speaker 4: you don't want to be hanging around in this trailer.
Speaker 4: He suggests Sean come back to the dorm so they
Speaker 4: can talk. Sean wonders, so you into Pank aren't living
Speaker 4: together anymore? Corey says, yeah, but only during the day.
Speaker 4: At night, she's scary, but I love her and we
Speaker 4: have our whole lives to live together and get to
Speaker 4: know each other. Sean earnestly is happy for him. Then
Speaker 4: he reveals he wants to break away for a while,
Speaker 4: clear his head and find out who he is. Corey
Speaker 4: reminds me him, you just lost your father. Sean points
Speaker 4: out he left me this trailer. It's all he had. Eventually,
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to sell it off and start
Speaker 4: paying back some debts. But in the meantime, I'm going
Speaker 4: to hitch it up and hit the open road. Thought
Speaker 4: maybe you'd come with me for the weekend. Cory's in.
Speaker 4: You know, we're young, we're wild. He asks Sean if
Speaker 4: he can drive, and Sean quickly says no. Corey calls
Speaker 4: shotgun instead and hops out of the trailer. Sean hangs
Speaker 4: back for a second, kisses his hand and touches the
Speaker 4: horseshoe above the door before heading out.
Speaker 3: What is the value system of Corey and to Pangan
Speaker 3: not just like wrapping my head around, like what is
Speaker 3: going on? Because the idea is like we love each other,
Speaker 3: We're meant to be together, so we matter what, no
Speaker 3: matter what. Okay, So they're not getting married because they
Speaker 3: want to have a good wedding ceremony with all their family.
Speaker 1: That was the decision based on the first two up.
Speaker 4: Right, So I'm assuming that means they feel the need
Speaker 4: to save up for it or to do something, but
Speaker 4: they definitely want to have a big wedding, big wedding.
Speaker 2: Right, And the secret they don't have to run away
Speaker 2: to do it like they're doing.
Speaker 3: They're not sleeping with each other or living with each
Speaker 3: other because of religion, right, I mean its.
Speaker 4: Never like Corey's mentioned God more than to Beanga has right.
Speaker 3: He's praying right, Yeah, Yeah, It's it's so interesting, Like
Speaker 3: it's like I feel like nowadays you would have to
Speaker 3: explain that a little bit more because it's like back then,
Speaker 3: it does feel like it was just kind of a given, like, oh,
Speaker 3: you're not married, you don't live together, you don't sleep together,
Speaker 3: and waiting till marriage to have sex is like understandable.
Speaker 1: But I feel like nowadays you'd.
Speaker 3: Be like, wait, if we're supposed to believe that these
Speaker 3: people have known each other forever, they're totally in love,
Speaker 3: they're committed to one another together.
Speaker 2: To Panga was raised by a very open hippie family
Speaker 2: and they're very much known to not have sex at all,
Speaker 2: and in organized.
Speaker 4: Religion, anybody Woodstock.
Speaker 2: Is all our organized religion and abstinence.
Speaker 3: It actually would have been a great because it it
Speaker 3: kind of does make sense because the truth is a
Speaker 3: lot of people that grow up in those situations the
Speaker 3: other way, right, So the idea that Tapango would be
Speaker 3: more conservative and like grieve structure and like rules makes
Speaker 3: perfect sense. And I wish we kind of explored that
Speaker 3: and like spelled that out a little bit because it
Speaker 3: would it would.
Speaker 4: Would have been a nice touch for that would have
Speaker 4: required episodes about to Panga.
Speaker 1: I think we do get there, because we do have
Speaker 1: your parents come back.
Speaker 4: They have and I think it comes. I think I
Speaker 4: think unfortunately what we have though is not good. I
Speaker 4: think it's very like, yeah, I don't think it's good,
Speaker 4: but I don't, it's probably probably or you know what,
Speaker 4: It's all about my father, It's about their marriage. It's
Speaker 4: not about me. It's about them and and and it's like,
Speaker 4: not about them, not about me.
Speaker 1: Or woman or sexy.
Speaker 4: The best women are men. And then we're in the
Speaker 4: tag when Corey and Shan's dorm in the hallway, Corey
Speaker 4: is following Sean, who looks very focused. Corey doesn't understand
Speaker 4: why it was so important they come here, and Sean explains,
Speaker 4: I want to say goodbye. It's Panga. Corey reminds him
Speaker 4: we're going away for the weekend. I'm not even saying
Speaker 4: goodbye tor. Sean points out they're already here, so why
Speaker 4: not now At the door, Corey suggests not to go in,
Speaker 4: but Sean says he's only going to say goodbye. He
Speaker 4: opens the door to see Tapanga and her pajamas back
Speaker 4: with the green face cream on, but this time she's
Speaker 4: clipping her toenails and broadcasting her own basketball game with
Speaker 4: Cheryl Swoops. Topega yells, she shoots, then she clips a toail,
Speaker 4: landing it directly onto Sean's face. She victoriously shouts scores Whoao.
Speaker 4: Sean grabs his eye in pain. What the heck was that?
Speaker 4: Corey pats him on the shoulder. She's beautiful, isn't she?
Speaker 4: Sean whispers, she looks like the swamp thing. Corey laughs,
Speaker 4: I know, let's go. Corey leaves without saying a word
Speaker 4: to her, but Sean again lingers by the door. He
Speaker 4: gives her a very serious goodbye, and Topanga waves without
Speaker 4: a second thought, going right back to her toenails. There
Speaker 4: we go, There we go episode.
Speaker 2: This could be one of those ones where we're we're
Speaker 2: trying to do the season six draft. This could be
Speaker 2: one that we're all trying to grab them. There one
Speaker 2: of the higher episodes. I may expected, unexpected.
Speaker 1: Really good. Yeah, yep. Probably the best kiss on Boy
Speaker 1: Meets World.
Speaker 4: I think. I think you're right. I think if we're
Speaker 4: giving out awards, it's the best.
Speaker 2: Think this best kiss, most important kiss is to Panga
Speaker 2: pushing that, but that's almost important, best kiss, most earned kissed,
Speaker 2: every this is.
Speaker 1: This has got to be up there.
