Speaker 1: We did it.
Speaker 2: We hit our forty million downloads, which is pretty awesome,
Speaker 2: amazing iHeart was, you know, it was obviously very amazingly
Speaker 2: supportive of us and kind of gives us a breakdown
Speaker 2: when we hit forty million, of kind of where the
Speaker 2: show's super popular and you know, people around the world
Speaker 2: listening to it.
Speaker 1: And there was one little.
Speaker 2: Note attached that I wanted to point out, okay, because
Speaker 2: I want to give a shout out to apparently the
Speaker 2: single listener, yeah, that we have in and I hope
Speaker 2: I'm saying it right Eritrea, Africa.
Speaker 3: Yes, Wow, where's a one listener there?
Speaker 4: One listener there?
Speaker 1: How do you still that? E R I t R
Speaker 1: E A.
Speaker 4: And so to our one listener.
Speaker 3: You are the most important.
Speaker 2: Lesson is so cool, and we are starting our campaign
Speaker 2: to try to get iHeart to send us to your home.
Speaker 3: We'd like to do a podcast in your living room.
Speaker 1: I would love to go. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yes. And the idea that there's one person listening there
Speaker 2: was so cool to me that I had to shout
Speaker 2: this person out. So, whoever you are, that is the
Speaker 2: coolest thing, because I remember, I think when we hit
Speaker 2: twenty million, we found out We also had one listener
Speaker 2: in a really small Alaskan town exactly, and one of
Speaker 2: the ideas that we threw around was just kind of
Speaker 2: go there growing up at this person's house, being Okay,
Speaker 2: we're going to do a podcast from your living So
Speaker 2: also shout out to the one person in the Alaskan town.
Speaker 2: But I had to shout out that one African listener.
Speaker 3: I really love that. Really, I think it's so great.
Speaker 3: You know, you could probably tell one other person nearby
Speaker 3: about the podcast, then they could start listening to it too,
Speaker 3: then you could have someone to talk to it about.
Speaker 2: Just see exactly one other person would be great.
Speaker 4: But yeah, so shout out thank you very much.
Speaker 3: We learned us. We learned we had forty million downloads
Speaker 3: while we were in Vegas for WrestleMania weekend, and I
Speaker 3: wanted to share a very funny story that happened while
Speaker 3: we So we were separated trying to get into WrestleMania.
Speaker 3: Trying to get into the stadium was a disaster, and
Speaker 3: we got dropped off so that we were in two
Speaker 3: separate cars, and so Jensen and I got dropped off
Speaker 3: on the opposite side of the arena from you guys,
Speaker 3: and we were trying to get to you, and it
Speaker 3: was the busiest time to be trying to find people
Speaker 3: because it was like thirty minutes before the program started,
Speaker 3: so we're not trying to get in.
Speaker 4: You and Jensen had the tickets, so we couldn't just meet.
Speaker 3: You at the exactly, and we were trying to get
Speaker 3: ticket Master. We were trying to send the tickets through
Speaker 3: the but it wasn't working inside the stadium. It was
Speaker 3: a complete nightmare. Anyway, long story short, we at one
Speaker 3: point were truly running. Jensen and I were running outside
Speaker 3: and as we ran by a small group of people,
Speaker 3: Jensen heard the woman say, oh my gosh, that that
Speaker 3: woman looks like Tapega, but I know she died Jenson,
Speaker 3: we both started laughing so hard. Also, it's one of
Speaker 3: our favorite things when there's mistaken identity stuff like I
Speaker 3: think I've told you that. One time on Halloween, a
Speaker 3: bunch of kids came up and then as they were
Speaker 3: running away, Jensen was coming back up from walking brunch
Speaker 3: and the one of the kids said, do you.
Speaker 1: Know who that was?
Speaker 5: That's Lorii Laughlin from.
Speaker 3: Full House, And Jensen thought that was hysterical. So we
Speaker 3: love mistaken identity mistaken death is Chef's kiss Kiss just
Speaker 3: I love it so that lady apparently doesn't listen. I
Speaker 3: was gonna say shout out to her too, but she
Speaker 3: apparently doesn't listen to Pod Meets World because then she'd
Speaker 3: know I'm not You're not.
Speaker 2: I mean, just for the record, I think we should
Speaker 2: put that out there now, you're not well. We did
Speaker 2: not look at maybe a little bit your soul, a
Speaker 2: little bit about that little you know.
Speaker 3: Will said, he was like, but are you sure you're not.
Speaker 3: I was like, let me google.
Speaker 2: It, because maybe we all are. Remember we talked about that,
Speaker 2: maybe this is just the similar relation that we're all in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were just forced to go back and watch
Speaker 1: our lives like Judging, Judging.
Speaker 2: Like Defending your Life, the greatest.
Speaker 1: Greatest movie ever.
Speaker 3: Welcome to Pod Meets World.
Speaker 2: I'm Daniel Offishal, I'm right or Strong, and I'm Wilfred Dell.
Speaker 3: Today we decided to bring you a bonus episode about
Speaker 3: one of the obscure b sides of Boy Meets World,
Speaker 3: something we get a good amount of emails about and
Speaker 3: we've mentioned in passing before, but it is a big
Speaker 3: deal for Boy Meets World. Completists, It's nineteen ninety four's
Speaker 3: whole new level of fun. The ABC Saturday Morning Cartoon
Speaker 3: preview show that we hosted, Now, this was an annual
Speaker 3: tradition for the network. It was the way they introduced
Speaker 3: kids to the newest additions to the Saturday Morning cartoon schedule,
Speaker 3: and they would have hosted interstitials to talk about the
Speaker 3: new programming that was about to debut, and at the
Speaker 3: same time they'd be able to promote their own ABC projects.
Speaker 3: This has been going on since nineteen sixty nine, if
Speaker 3: you could believe it.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: The debut was the Super Saturday Cartoon Preview, hosted by
Speaker 3: the cast of The Ghost and Missus Muir and Jonathan
Speaker 3: Frid from Dark Shadows, but over the years some of
Speaker 3: the other hosts include the Brady Bunch Kids, Dick Clark,
Speaker 3: Roseanne bar Weird Al Hanging with Mister Cooper cast Tony Danza,
Speaker 3: and a puppet rock band called Captain Cool and The
Speaker 3: Kongs Nice.
Speaker 2: Their session album was Banging.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure I would have gone with All
Speaker 3: K's for that one, is it too? That's Captain Cook
Speaker 3: and the Kong's All with you case interest interesting choice. Now,
Speaker 3: we did this in nineteen ninety four, after season one
Speaker 3: leading to season two? What do you guys remember about
Speaker 3: being asked to do this? Do you remember filming it?
Speaker 1: Nope?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Wow, you don't you think about this?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, I remember everything leading up to it because we
Speaker 1: had to shoot it on a weekend and.
Speaker 3: You're going to be out of town to give a
Speaker 3: flower to Maureene.
Speaker 1: No. I was in Tahoe with my friend Lennie and
Speaker 1: my other friend Sean. Yeah, and it was Lenny's mom
Speaker 1: drove me to the airport to fly out whatever that night,
Speaker 1: and I missed the flight, so we had to wake
Speaker 1: up the next morning and she drove me the next morning,
Speaker 1: so I flew. I had to be up at like
Speaker 1: three or four in the morning to make it to
Speaker 1: the airport to fly in for this, and then it
Speaker 1: was an awful day. Like Jeff McCracken was just maybe
Speaker 1: it was his first time directing us.
Speaker 3: I feel like, oh, I don't think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is when I met Jeff, because
Speaker 1: I don't think we had just started the second season.
Speaker 1: I don't think he had done an episode yet. I
Speaker 1: don't think did he do an episode the first season.
Speaker 1: I don't think we must have met him though, didn't
Speaker 1: we Yeah, but he was just like the tall guy around,
Speaker 1: you know, and this was him directing, and he just
Speaker 1: does a good job, Like it looks really good, and
Speaker 1: especially considering how much Lily has to do, it's incredible.
Speaker 1: But but I remember it being really painful and taking forever.
Speaker 1: And now I'm looking at it and went, oh, it's
Speaker 1: probably because they gave so many lines to Morgan. So
Speaker 1: you can't have a little kid do this much dialogue
Speaker 1: without take after take after, you know.
Speaker 3: And so I'm sure that was I mean, and when
Speaker 3: you see what the best takes were that they got.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she said belongs, Yes, got the That's basically what
Speaker 6: it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I mean to have written like so Susan
Speaker 1: is sel Jensen wrote this like it yeah, anyway that
Speaker 1: I remember getting in so tired, being so miserable and
Speaker 1: all day being really stressed out. Yeah, yeah, And I.
Speaker 2: Don't remember that at all, daniel I mean, Danielle, do
Speaker 2: you remember this.
Speaker 3: Yes, I remember it vaguely. I remember that that similar
Speaker 3: to writer that it was a slow, a slow day.
Speaker 3: And you know what I remember I think most is
Speaker 3: I have I when I have memories about this kind
Speaker 3: of stuff. I have memories about the overall feeling, not
Speaker 3: so much the specific like the specifics, but the overall
Speaker 3: feeling I had was that I was excited to be
Speaker 3: doing it, and I wanted it to be one of
Speaker 3: those days where it was super fun and funny and
Speaker 3: we were laughing all the time, and it was and
Speaker 3: it wasn't. And so it was a little bit of
Speaker 3: like a oh, like I can even tell my I
Speaker 3: can even tell my energy in the program is like,
Speaker 3: just get through this. That's let's get through this and
Speaker 3: get this done.
Speaker 2: One of you might have mentioned this was this, did
Speaker 2: we shoot this on a weekday or a week.
Speaker 3: Is a weekend?
Speaker 1: In my mind is a weekend, But that actually doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense because if I was coming, it was either
Speaker 1: like an end of a hiatus and we started it
Speaker 1: on a Sunday.
Speaker 3: It was definitely before this, I think before the season started.
Speaker 3: I am fresh from Hawaii.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, and they say, hey, we're joining Eric in.
Speaker 3: High school this year, so the season hasn't started yet,
Speaker 3: so this may have been, like, you know, if we
Speaker 3: started shooting end of July or August, this may have
Speaker 3: been like the first week back. And I think it
Speaker 3: was on a weekend because we were probably starting a regular.
Speaker 2: Work week, right, So this might have been one of
Speaker 2: the first times we were all together again after getting
Speaker 2: packed up for season one, correct, which is why.
Speaker 3: I think my memory of it is is like so
Speaker 3: excited about.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, but I think this was Jeff McCracken's first thing.
Speaker 1: We'll have to ask him because I think I think
Speaker 1: this might have been the.
Speaker 3: First time we did ask Jeff, and we have some
Speaker 3: clips from Jeff, and I'll but I will give you
Speaker 3: a little spoiler alert. Okay, Jeff had zero memory of this.
Speaker 3: Me too, zero zero memory of this. So our special
Speaker 3: introduced three new shows, Free Willy, Reboot, and Bump in
Speaker 3: the Night. Did anyone remember there was a Free Willy cartoon?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: But I remember the other two, like I remember, yes,
Speaker 1: it was a big deal because it was computer graphics
Speaker 1: was the first one. And I remember these because they
Speaker 1: like we got to watch clips or whatever, and I
Speaker 1: remember being like, oh, these are cool.
Speaker 2: But Free Willie they did it in an animated show
Speaker 2: about a captured killer whale.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, yeah they did.
Speaker 1: How do you keep that going? But how do you
Speaker 1: keep that?
Speaker 2: How is that a series like, hey, wow, you're still
Speaker 2: in your cage. Sorry, let's we can't solve crimes. There's
Speaker 2: no mystery machine. It's just this poor whale that's.
Speaker 1: Looks it looks like probably going on story they're saving
Speaker 1: other animals. I'm sure that's what the pitch, and then coming.
Speaker 2: Back to just be back in its case of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he likes it.
Speaker 2: There he gets too far, he gets a shock, so
Speaker 2: he goes back in. Wasn't a free Willie. That wasn't Tillicum,
Speaker 2: that wasn't the one they used, wasn't the one that
Speaker 2: actually killed.
Speaker 1: But there was a new podcast out about the Free
Speaker 1: Willy Whale that's supposed to be amazing. Okay, I've heard
Speaker 1: this podcast. It was It just came out last year.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a big hit, and it tells
Speaker 1: the true story of the Free Willy Whale's supposed to
Speaker 1: be an incredible podcast.
Speaker 3: Okay. Now, we posted a YouTube link where you can
Speaker 3: see the special, as well as all the commercials and
Speaker 3: cartoons that followed us.
Speaker 6: Which I did not set aside enough time for no doubt,
Speaker 6: if I had known that I was going to get
Speaker 6: to watch all the ads, I would have like scheduled
Speaker 6: better and so unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I.
Speaker 1: It is such a bizarre experience. Yeah, I've only done
Speaker 1: acid once and it was not like a great time.
Speaker 1: It was just lasted too long. But I don't need
Speaker 1: to anymore. I could just watch this special. I know,
Speaker 1: my head melted, like when you came in and said
Speaker 1: this is not my hair for the show or whatever
Speaker 1: you said.
Speaker 2: My brain just ran where am I?
Speaker 1: And then like everybody's faces was like kind of like
Speaker 1: glitching because the quality of the video is so bad.
Speaker 1: So it's like I am on so many drugs right now.
Speaker 1: And then like the ads, I could not believe it.
Speaker 1: My head just exploded.
Speaker 3: Yet I know I thought the exact same thing. And
Speaker 3: I still am not sure whether we are ourselves.
Speaker 1: And Eric and Sean, but we're not we're doing the show.
Speaker 1: We're not doing the show right, were talking about.
Speaker 3: Talking about when our show starts, that there's a script
Speaker 3: for this, yes, and.
Speaker 2: Then we're watching ourselves because I'm on the phone with
Speaker 2: a girl who can now watch me TV, So weren't.
Speaker 1: Doing live hosting a live TV.
Speaker 3: Show as the characters. But it's so weird. I just
Speaker 3: really reconfirmed to me that I have very good reason
Speaker 3: to add to Penga to my real name. No, that's
Speaker 3: all I could think.
Speaker 1: See I am so do you think they just didn't
Speaker 1: hire a hair and megup person.
Speaker 3: They did Viral van Dyke, But that's right our hair.
Speaker 1: When coming in you probably and did not have time
Speaker 1: to your hair. They were she doesn't look like, what
Speaker 1: are we going to do?
Speaker 2: And you were just like, just got us.
Speaker 1: That is what it's like when it's not on the show.
Speaker 3: So weird, so crazy. Okay, So the it's in the
Speaker 3: show notes and we will also post it on our
Speaker 3: Instagram links so you can check out the special and
Speaker 3: follow along. I will be giving time codes for the
Speaker 3: segments that we are in now before we get into
Speaker 3: the credits. What did you guys think about whole new
Speaker 3: level of fun? The Boy Meets World Saturday Morning Cartoon Special.
Speaker 2: It's the best thing I've ever done in my career,
Speaker 2: bar none, easily the best thing I've ever done.
Speaker 1: It's what I want to be remembered by.
Speaker 2: And when I get my Hollywood Walk of Fame star,
Speaker 2: this is what I'm going to talk about. Kider.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I mean, like I said, it melted
Speaker 1: my brain. But Actually, the more I think about it,
Speaker 1: the more I feel like, maybe this is kind of
Speaker 1: like watching this for a fan of Boy Meets World
Speaker 1: probably is the closest like somebody could get to like
Speaker 1: what it felt to be us sometimes, Like we did
Speaker 1: have this weird sense of like, wait, we're we have
Speaker 1: to act in the show, but we also have to
Speaker 1: do these side things. We have to be self referential,
Speaker 1: like it is a trip. Like it was weird as
Speaker 1: a kid to not know like, well, that's the character
Speaker 1: is my girlfriend or my best friend and we're not
Speaker 1: really friends in real life. You know, there's like layers
Speaker 1: to the experience, and I feel like maybe that's a
Speaker 1: positive way that somebody could look at this. It's like
Speaker 1: this is kind of what it felt like for us sometimes,
Speaker 1: like the way you feel when you're watching and you're like, wait,
Speaker 1: who's Sean? Where does it end? What's scripted? When's it
Speaker 1: not scripted?
Speaker 2: Our lives show within a show, So it was like
Speaker 2: we're all actually our characters, but this is what we
Speaker 2: do when we're not you.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was, but it's also so weird to
Speaker 1: be going back to second season of Us, like yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: because Lily comes from upstairs.
Speaker 2: It comes from upstairs still, and Eric still comes from
Speaker 2: the kitchen. You're still playing basketball and coming from the
Speaker 2: fake it's you know what.
Speaker 3: It made me feel though, and I kind of remember
Speaker 3: feeling it back in the day, and we've we've had
Speaker 3: this discussion about how we all feel when like this
Speaker 3: was us having to shill for the network, and the
Speaker 3: feeling that we had on set was like, this is
Speaker 3: annoying that we have to do this. It's it's extra time.
Speaker 3: We're not keeping hate it.
Speaker 1: Like this. I don't like what I'm saying. I'm like, yes, I.
Speaker 3: Have to do exactly. We thought it was cheesy or whatever,
Speaker 3: and what I walked away from it was like, shut up,
Speaker 3: you little. You are on a massive network and they're
Speaker 3: taking care of you. They are making the decisions about
Speaker 3: picking up your show, and they want you to come
Speaker 3: in for it as by the way, you do a
Speaker 3: good job. You're in and out of there as fast
Speaker 3: as can be. They don't want to be there all
Speaker 3: day either, so like, commit, just do it, put the
Speaker 3: smile on your face, have fun. They're not putting you
Speaker 3: in situations that you're like, I'm sorry, I'm ethically opposed
Speaker 3: to this. Or this is some I have some moral
Speaker 3: issue with what's going on. They're not doing anything salacious,
Speaker 3: they're just putting us certainly in weird situations where we're like,
Speaker 3: but are we us or are we our characters who
Speaker 3: whatever they want, whatever they want, just do it. But
Speaker 3: I do remember having the feeling of like, why do
Speaker 3: we have to do this? This is odd and I
Speaker 3: don't know, I just there was a part of me
Speaker 3: that wanted to be like, yeah, enjoy it. Put a
Speaker 3: smile on your face.
Speaker 2: There was also there's also this was at a time
Speaker 2: where so we should let the listeners know that before
Speaker 2: every season would start, there would be a series of
Speaker 2: things we would have to do, yeah, meaning you know,
Speaker 2: we'd have to do photo shoots, and there would be
Speaker 2: multiple photo shoots at times, shoot to make credits, hair stuff,
Speaker 2: shot shooting credit. So this was probably another thing on
Speaker 2: the list of like, oh wait, and now we're hosting
Speaker 2: this Saturday morning cartoon thing.
Speaker 1: So I mean there was a number of.
Speaker 2: I don't even know, housekeeping things that we'd have to
Speaker 2: do before every season started. Yeah, And so this was
Speaker 2: probably just another one of those things on the list
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh, and by the way you guys
Speaker 2: are hosting the thing, and I'm sure we were at
Speaker 2: the time probably like okay, no big deal. It wasn't
Speaker 2: until we got the inform like actually got the script
Speaker 2: that we would be like, ooh, this is we have fun.
Speaker 1: I also think that there's a generational distinction here, which
Speaker 1: is that like now actors do everything like they like
Speaker 1: do commercial but back then, like I was very conscious
Speaker 1: I would never do an on camera commercial, Like that
Speaker 1: was like a thing that I said, and like, you know,
Speaker 1: there were actors who said they would never do television,
Speaker 1: remember because they were film actors or just theater actors.
Speaker 1: So like these boundaries and the fact that they made
Speaker 1: us basically do a commercial is kind of like an
Speaker 1: extra thing that like I had no interest in doing.
Speaker 1: And at the time, like now you realize, like if
Speaker 1: you're an actor, you just be happy you have a
Speaker 1: freaking job and like do whatever you can and the
Speaker 1: audience will receive it. But at the time I think that,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like Bill Daniels was doing this right,
Speaker 1: you know, there was there was a quality level, there
Speaker 1: was a but we were being like the US kids
Speaker 1: were kind of being told we had to do.
Speaker 3: This like they never would have asked Bill.
Speaker 4: No, they wouldn't.
Speaker 1: And that was, you know, like nowadays they probably would.
Speaker 1: Then Nowadays, I think there's an attitude of like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is part of the job. It would be in
Speaker 1: your contract or they'd ask you they pay you what.
Speaker 1: But I think back then it was sort of like
Speaker 1: and that's why I felt bad. I remember being like,
Speaker 1: but this isn't even acting. This isn't even an episode
Speaker 1: of our show. Why do I have to do this?
Speaker 1: This isn't free right?
Speaker 3: Why do I have to get on a flight from
Speaker 3: my vacation. So it stars Ben Savage, Will Wrighter, myself,
Speaker 3: and Lily nick Say, all playing our Boy Meets World characters,
Speaker 3: but also kind of playing ourselves. This was years before
Speaker 3: we did meta stuff inside the actual show, so this
Speaker 3: was way ahead of its time for us. It was
Speaker 3: written by Susan Hostelle Jansen and produced by Jim Janisek,
Speaker 3: the creator of tgis two guests we have had on
Speaker 3: the show, and it's directed by the great Jeff McCracken.
Speaker 3: I asked Jeff to send us a voice memo about
Speaker 3: what he remembered from this, so let's hear from him first.
Speaker 7: Let me just start by saying how much I'm enjoying
Speaker 7: listening to you three recap the episodes of Boy Meets World.
Speaker 7: Every recap is not only a trip down memory lane,
Speaker 7: but a wonderful exploration of your personal and you professional experiences.
Speaker 7: Now for that Saturday Morning Cartoon special segment, I must
Speaker 7: come clean and say I only have a vague recollition
Speaker 7: of it after watching it, And what struck me most
Speaker 7: was just how damn cute you all were. I mean really,
Speaker 7: just so bloody adorable and so professional. I was taking
Speaker 7: a bag at how natural and effortless you made it
Speaker 7: all seem, you know, especially and knowing that it was
Speaker 7: an all the reality of the show itself. And I
Speaker 7: have to say, did I enjoy directing the promo? No,
Speaker 7: I'd have to say not really. I mean, it was
Speaker 7: a necessary evil bestowed upon us by the network as
Speaker 7: a means of getting people to watch the cartoons on
Speaker 7: Saturday morning, right, you know, it was a challenge to
Speaker 7: make it feel like the show itself, but you were
Speaker 7: the reason it worked. You all handled it brilliantly. Reminded
Speaker 7: me again of just how talented and amazing you all were,
Speaker 7: regardless of the material. But then you know, we could
Speaker 7: have been reading the phone book. It wouldn't have matter
Speaker 7: to me. Oh yeah. One thing, one thing though that
Speaker 7: I noticed that was just super crazy was the amount
Speaker 7: of candy and junk food on the coffee table. I mean,
Speaker 7: did you notice that? It was like insane? I mean,
Speaker 7: I think PROPS must have blown their entire season's budget
Speaker 7: on that. I mean I got a toothache just looking
Speaker 7: at all that stuff. I'm sure that it was a
Speaker 7: network requirement to entice those young viewers. You know, Bribery
Speaker 7: and its zenus here children have some crack cocaine to
Speaker 7: bring fifteen years.
Speaker 2: I love him, I love your children, children.
Speaker 3: I would like to I have to agree with Jeff.
Speaker 3: When I watched this, I was struck by how adorable
Speaker 3: all of us were as little kids. If you were kids,
Speaker 3: I mean, it was so, it was so. I mean,
Speaker 3: I guess now because we're in season six of the
Speaker 3: Recap and I feel like I even have and I do.
Speaker 3: It's not that much, but like I feel like I
Speaker 3: have more distance from that little kid version now that
Speaker 3: I've already rewatched it, Like there's a desensitization that has
Speaker 3: happened now that I've that I you know, I had
Speaker 3: kind of like I was very nervous to start the
Speaker 3: Boy Meets World recap pot I was. I was nervous,
Speaker 3: like how am I gonna feel watching us? And then
Speaker 3: once I did it, and I was like, Okay, I
Speaker 3: did it. Now seeing it again with like eyes that
Speaker 3: were from in season six, it's it's like, look at these,
Speaker 3: look at we were kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tiny little.
Speaker 3: Children, so funny, so all right. Other familiar names like
Speaker 3: Lynn McCracken, David Glazer, Sarah Markowitz all appear in the credits,
Speaker 3: mostly because this was filmed like a with the crew
Speaker 3: as if we were doing a regular Boy Meets World
Speaker 3: crew and all.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 3: Segment one it runs from nineteen seconds to two fifty
Speaker 3: one on YouTube. We opened with the exterior of the
Speaker 3: Matthew's house and some typical jazz sitcom music. We did
Speaker 3: not have these for our own transition, so this was
Speaker 3: an ABC edition, very funky, yacht rock esque startling to hear.
Speaker 3: We're in the backyard slash side yard, Corey and Sean
Speaker 3: are in a hurry to get home. Sewn, who's holding
Speaker 3: a basketball, very naturally, doesn't get why they had to
Speaker 3: leave you. There was one basket away from wiping up
Speaker 3: the driveway with him.
Speaker 2: So the driveway direction where we play with Rusty before
Speaker 2: we're still figuring out the house.
Speaker 3: That does that change anything about front yard, side yard?
Speaker 3: Where are we for this?
Speaker 1: No, it's a measure chang. Okay, we also could have wait,
Speaker 1: I see you say driveway. God, I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: I could have been playing at a park somewhere.
Speaker 3: But they still the day, Corey explains, the Saturday morning
Speaker 3: preview special is on. They have to watch it. Also,
Speaker 3: you and writer, you and Ben? Are this so good?
Speaker 3: In this little opening grade It really is so natural
Speaker 3: For as much as you disliked this and having like
Speaker 3: it really does feel like it could be a scene
Speaker 3: in the show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, totally.
Speaker 3: The boys are now in the kitchen and Sean isn't
Speaker 3: over it. They stop playing be ball to watch cartoons.
Speaker 3: What is he nuts? Corey corrects him, not cartoons, state
Speaker 3: of the art animation. It doesn't face Sean. He doesn't
Speaker 3: do cartoons. Corey assumes Sean didn't see the biggest movie
Speaker 3: of the summer then you know that Lion thing. Sean
Speaker 3: admits he loved it. Corey reminds him it was a cartoon.
Speaker 3: Sean can't believe they weren't real lions. Cory asks if
Speaker 3: real lions sing, and Sean says he doesn't know. He
Speaker 3: doesn't live in the jungle. Corey pushes it, well, do
Speaker 3: they sing at the zoo. Sean explains that's because they're
Speaker 3: self conscious. At the zoo, everyone is staring at them,
Speaker 3: But at night they sing. It says, so in that song,
Speaker 3: the lion sings tonight. Cory corrects him, No, it's the
Speaker 3: lion sleep tonight.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like an extended rule.
Speaker 2: It's kind of funny.
Speaker 1: But at this point you're like, what are we doing?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 1: Wait, knew what is there a story yet? Has anything happened?
Speaker 1: Has anything happened? No, just Corey's dragged Sean inside.
Speaker 3: Se literally just dragged him inside, and Sean clarifies they're
Speaker 3: sleeping because they're tired from singing all day. Corey's had enough.
Speaker 3: He wants to go watch animation. Sean asks what's in
Speaker 3: it for him, and Corey offers some food, real food.
Speaker 3: Sean doesn't want to be toyed with, but Corey literally
Speaker 3: reels him in and says, it's all you can eat
Speaker 3: and nothing is healthy at all.
Speaker 2: Now, did you notice when he opens the door? No,
Speaker 2: so he Opie goes come on, like he's coaxing him in,
Speaker 2: come on, and he opens the door and we're shooting
Speaker 2: directly off the set, really like we're supposed to be
Speaker 2: on the set, but we're not supposed to be. So
Speaker 2: when you look through the door, you see part of
Speaker 2: the living room, but then you just see like our
Speaker 2: stage a bunch of times because it was so fuzzy,
Speaker 2: but I was like, wait a.
Speaker 3: Minute, I want to see it.
Speaker 4: That's right off our stage. What the hell's happening?
Speaker 3: Oh, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: So eventually they do walk into the living room and
Speaker 3: on the table is a wide array of major snackage.
Speaker 3: Corey explains the ABC guy, I'm going to go out
Speaker 3: on Eleve and say that's Jim Janisek sent this buffet
Speaker 3: of food over and all they have to do is
Speaker 3: watch the new Saturday Morning cartoons and tell everybody what
Speaker 3: they think of them. So again, just kick off our
Speaker 3: meta aspect of this in this universe, we know the
Speaker 3: ABC guy.
Speaker 2: Of course, that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, as we as Sean and Sean
Speaker 1: and Corey know the ABC a guy to do this,
Speaker 1: and we know we're going to be on TV talking
Speaker 1: about the cartoons. Yes, yes, yes, see so it was
Speaker 1: our job. We have to talk. We're geting job, we're
Speaker 1: getting can yes, So it's kind of accurate kind of
Speaker 1: Watching this gives you a good sense of where we
Speaker 1: were at as kids.
Speaker 3: Sean wonders if everyone who watches will get food, but
Speaker 3: Corey says, no, those people get us. And then Sean
Speaker 3: looks at the camera and now we are watching on
Speaker 3: a TV in side our TV.
Speaker 1: Right correct, So we can see ourselves on the TV.
Speaker 2: I think this is when the acid kicked in for
Speaker 2: exactly when it's like, oh I can feel it.
Speaker 3: Figure, I didn't even think about that. You turn it
Speaker 3: on and you see yourself. You're watching. Okay, So the
Speaker 3: boys say hello to the viewer. Sean thinks it's cool.
Speaker 3: They're TV critics paid to eat and watch TV. I
Speaker 3: have no idea what this is.
Speaker 7: So are you right?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking at it.
Speaker 5: We are.
Speaker 1: You can see a flag, you can see it.
Speaker 2: It's like completely off the set.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: The ends so upstage in the kitchen for that shot.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Jeff didn't have to did it to get.
Speaker 1: All the way in there.
Speaker 2: Well. Jeff also takes some interesting angles where it's like
Speaker 2: over Eric's shoulder, we just see the phone where for
Speaker 2: some reason, I'm looking down at the kids like I'm
Speaker 2: six feet tall.
Speaker 1: I think this is the first time directing. I really
Speaker 1: think it was, and I think he was trying. I
Speaker 1: think he was like, oh, let's make it look cool
Speaker 1: and were shooting.
Speaker 3: It took so long the backyard door to get eyes
Speaker 3: on Ben, so we're shooting through there with EX camera
Speaker 3: instead of from a traditional X camera perspective. Wow, that's
Speaker 3: so funny. Okay, So Sean assumes there has to be
Speaker 3: a catch and that's when Morgan appears on the steps.
Speaker 3: They have to watch with her. We cut back to
Speaker 3: the exterior of the house and hear the ear piercing
Speaker 3: screams of the boys.
Speaker 1: Which we did in the first season, right, uh huh.
Speaker 3: We do the meta going out to the world, but.
Speaker 1: Also just our scream that was a tradition, like Sean
Speaker 1: and Corey would do that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, right, well I only remember it in that
Speaker 3: meta one. Did we do it a bunch of times?
Speaker 1: You guys did the ha a lot? Did we just
Speaker 1: look at each other and scream, I feel like this.
Speaker 2: I feel like you did a couple of times.
Speaker 3: We should do a rewatch because I don't remember the show.
Speaker 4: How is it possible that we and we still don't
Speaker 4: know what happens on our own show.
Speaker 3: Nope, just like that, the preview show has begun. Now
Speaker 3: let's listen to us all get introduced here clip number one.
Speaker 9: It's the ABC Saturday Morning Preview Special starring Ben Savage,
Speaker 9: will Fredell Wright Strong, Danielle Fichell, Danielle Yell Fichelle.
Speaker 1: But right, they got and then they screwed up my name.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, you're are why they wrote two
Speaker 2: of the they got fifty right and actors on their
Speaker 2: own network.
Speaker 3: They spelled it r y right R y d e
Speaker 3: r rder. Okay, maybe that's why people think your name
Speaker 3: is writer R y D special because I.
Speaker 4: Was still freedom everywhere. So why is that nobody picked
Speaker 4: that up?
Speaker 3: And I will say, I've told I totally understand why
Speaker 3: people think my name is Danielle Fachelle because they wanted
Speaker 3: to rhyme. Yeah, it's just it's more waring.
Speaker 2: Did I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: Did we In that clip to they mentioned Lily.
Speaker 3: Uh well, no, let's hear the rest and Lily next.
Speaker 8: Day from Boy Meets World and featuring the ultimate news
Speaker 8: dreaming Adventure for you, Willie, the creatures from Bumping the Night,
Speaker 8: and the rest of the ABC Saturday Morning Family. You're
Speaker 8: ready the fun begins right after these messages?
Speaker 2: Whoa that song? So?
Speaker 1: Did they record that song just for us?
Speaker 2: Or is that a? Is that a classic song that's
Speaker 2: gonna be that's probably the Saturday Morning Previews song song exactly.
Speaker 3: Imagine, Well, back in the living room, Corey, Shawn, and
Speaker 3: Morgan are planted on the couch when there's a knock
Speaker 3: on the door. It's Flower Child to Penga, she was
Speaker 3: watching them on TV and she saw that ABC sent food.
Speaker 1: She's here for the candy too. It's it's like it's
Speaker 1: like a it's like the Witch Witch Gingerbread House. It's like,
Speaker 1: we'llureing everybody in the candy to then chill for ABC.
Speaker 5: It's so weird.
Speaker 2: Also, like, so you're at home, why don't all.
Speaker 1: The other kids from the neighborhood come over?
Speaker 3: Why don't they just come over? They don't know where
Speaker 3: Corey lives. Is that the only reason they're not there
Speaker 3: is because they don't they don't know where Corey lives,
Speaker 3: so Sean explains that ABC stands for Awesome Bag of Chips.
Speaker 3: Morgan invites to Panga to join them, and so their
Speaker 3: guest pulls up a small pink children's chair. Yep, Corey
Speaker 3: notices something different about her. Sean agrees, she's sitting in
Speaker 3: front of him and he can still see the TV.
Speaker 3: She says it's because they're not doing a show. This
Speaker 3: is what her hair really looks like.
Speaker 2: Really, who's you're still supposed to keep hair looks like?
Speaker 3: So because at this point, Topega's hair had been crimped
Speaker 3: right and and also big voluminous curls, so everyone it
Speaker 3: was like a very I still get asked, oh, is
Speaker 3: your hair naturally curly? I'm like, well, it's I kind
Speaker 3: of wave and they're like, well, then how did you
Speaker 3: get those curls? In the first season, It's like, oh curl. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was like a process, it was a whole thing.
Speaker 3: So I think they felt like, this is the first
Speaker 3: time people are going to see Danielle Slash Topanga without
Speaker 3: curly hair. We have to address why her hair is different.
Speaker 1: Hair obsession on.
Speaker 4: Her, but it's Also, the other thing I wouldn't even
Speaker 4: know you were.
Speaker 2: One of the things I do remember about our television
Speaker 2: program that we've gone back and watched every episode of
Speaker 2: is that we were amazed how little of the show
Speaker 2: you were on until yeah, several seasons in, but in
Speaker 2: between season one and two you're obviously part of the
Speaker 2: cast to be on the Saturday morning cartoon preview channel.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, it's strange.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Corey and Sean say they like her hair,
Speaker 3: and Corey suggests she keeps it this way. Topega asks
Speaker 3: if she can do that, and my mom was probably
Speaker 3: holding her breath here can she?
Speaker 5: Can't you do it?
Speaker 3: Corey says he'll talk to ABC. He's ends with them.
Speaker 3: They don't just send anybody food to Pega smiles and
Speaker 3: Morgan asks everyone to be quiet. She wants to watch
Speaker 3: Free Willie, and then the.
Speaker 1: Transition, so Topanga doesn't want her hair to be curled anymore,
Speaker 1: but it has to be for the show.
Speaker 3: Well, no, Topega doesn't really say whether she wants it
Speaker 3: or not, she just says, can I do that? Everyone's like,
Speaker 3: roll over her hair? Cory's like, I don't know, let
Speaker 3: me see if I've got any pull with this ABC guy.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you wonder if.
Speaker 2: That's what I mean to ask for permission to exist
Speaker 2: in kind of giving a little like look behind the
Speaker 2: curtain of Yeah, our hair and everything was controlled.
Speaker 5: And that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's like very like it's it works on so many levels.
Speaker 3: So we transition right into some info about this cartoon
Speaker 3: based on a movie I almost booked. It's segment three,
Speaker 3: six twenty one to seven nineteen.
Speaker 2: I think the the killer well they went with was
Speaker 2: better in the role. You're a good swimmer, Danielle.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 7: I know what.
Speaker 1: You didn't have this?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I didn't think you could pull off the.
Speaker 1: You auditioned for Freewilli one. It wasn't Free Willy two.
Speaker 3: I auditioned for Free WILLI one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to play I hate to say this, I've never
Speaker 2: seen it, so to play which part?
Speaker 3: There's a little girl. There's a little girl character that
Speaker 3: is kind of like the potential love interest of the lead.
Speaker 10: Is it Austin James Jason James richteror that's the kid
Speaker 10: that's the kid Jason James Richter that he lived at Yeah,
Speaker 10: I remember, But it's the thing everybody was auditioning for
Speaker 10: Free It was our my first pilot season.
Speaker 1: Everybody auditioned for Free Willy that year, and then, like
Speaker 1: I remember, they wanted me to come back for some
Speaker 1: producer session and this other movie cast me. Benefit of
Speaker 1: the Doubt cast me, and they were like, we got
Speaker 1: to get him before before Free Willy does.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, now I have to look.
Speaker 4: It was a huge hit. Wasn't it really like a
Speaker 4: massive hit?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Wait, when was Free Willy one? Maybe I did
Speaker 3: audition for Free Willy two?
Speaker 1: It was two, because unless you were really too No,
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 3: Nineteen ninety three. Yep, it was right. It was like
Speaker 3: before my audition for Boy Meets World.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well know, yeah, it would have been ninety two
Speaker 1: for me that I auditioned because I shot.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, so it was my audition
Speaker 3: was before Boy Meets World started. It was like I
Speaker 3: hadn't I hadn't done Boy Meets World yet. Now we're
Speaker 3: going into segment three, which goes from six twenty one
Speaker 3: to seven nineteen. The Free Willie teas fades out and
Speaker 3: we're back in the living room. Corey asks Morgan what
Speaker 3: she thought. She calls it a big hit. Giant whale.
Speaker 3: Cute kids? Do I have to draw you a picture
Speaker 3: to Panga? Can't wait to see more? And then Eric
Speaker 3: walks in with what is most definitely the largest home
Speaker 3: phone antenna that has ever existed. It actually doesn't fit
Speaker 3: in the shot.
Speaker 11: Senna firm and perfectly parted middle park. Oh yeah, like
Speaker 11: it is a butt head cut. It is really quite
Speaker 11: astounding if you check it out.
Speaker 2: Hill Man.
Speaker 3: Oh boy. He is talking to a girl, because remember
Speaker 3: we're between season one and season two. He tells girls, girls, girls, girls.
Speaker 3: He tells Jennifer they can go out tonight because they
Speaker 3: aren't filming the show this week. Also, is Jennifer love.
Speaker 2: What what? What is this girl named? Hey Jennifer, Tiffany, Tiffany, Jennifer.
Speaker 3: He explains new episodes don't start for two weeks, so
Speaker 3: he's free until then, but Jennifer interrupts him. Eric is confused,
Speaker 3: what do you mean Corey and Shawn are on TV?
Speaker 3: Not possible, They're sitting on the couch. She tells him
Speaker 3: he's also on TV. He quickly hangs up in acts casual,
Speaker 3: Hey guys, what are we doing? Corey says, it's.
Speaker 1: A Saturday morn. I know the cameras in the TV,
Speaker 1: or you see yourself when you look at the TV.
Speaker 3: Do you look at you? There's no fourth wall in
Speaker 3: their home either.
Speaker 5: Oh, it doesn't exist.
Speaker 3: Oh, very weird. They're just not used to the.
Speaker 2: People being behind the camera at this point.
Speaker 3: At this point, Corey says, it's the Saturday Morning Special
Speaker 3: and Eric is shocked. Sean asks if he got the.
Speaker 1: Script right script for what we have to do what
Speaker 1: we're saying right now, But I'm checking with him. Did
Speaker 1: you get the script that we're reading that I'm saying
Speaker 1: to you right now?
Speaker 3: And Eric says no, but he's good on his feet.
Speaker 3: He asks Morgan what's next, and she answers Reboot. Eric
Speaker 3: loves Reboot. He watches it all the time. So Corey
Speaker 3: calls his bluff and asks what it's about. Eric nervously
Speaker 3: says he would tell them what it's about, but he
Speaker 3: doesn't want to spoil it for everyone. Corey laughs, pretty smooth,
Speaker 3: And this is a real break from Ben.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I watched it multiple times.
Speaker 3: Something happened, nohing happened that may well break.
Speaker 2: He just not. He couldn't hold it together. What what
Speaker 2: time of day is this supposed to be Saturday morning.
Speaker 3: Saturday morning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but is this seven am Saturday morning where for
Speaker 2: some reason, I'm already.
Speaker 3: In everyone's already her dress, we were already playing basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Lily's coming from upstairs. But Eric is already
Speaker 2: did he not sleep last night?
Speaker 1: Like Pega made it from home? She saw us on
Speaker 1: TV and still made it from home. Yeah that time,
Speaker 1: I bet it's nine okay, food, So she made it
Speaker 1: within thirty seconds from her house because we like, we
Speaker 1: pull into the we reveal that there's candy and food,
Speaker 1: and shows up she lives.
Speaker 4: So you should have just been horribly out of breath, like.
Speaker 3: I had to do my real quick and saw then.
Speaker 1: In the bag of chips. It's eight am.
Speaker 2: I'm already perfectly dressed and ted and I saw popcorn kids.
Speaker 4: I'm here, I'm here.
Speaker 1: Do I have autonomy from my hair to ABC bought
Speaker 1: the autonomy? Just just ask no?
Speaker 2: You just.
Speaker 1: Just sit down and watch the cartoons? Pretty smooth, smooth?
Speaker 1: Do we have to walk away? Where's jeffergragging to tell
Speaker 1: us to get it together?
Speaker 2: He's quitting?
Speaker 5: Oh my okay, just sit down to what crying tears of.
Speaker 3: Poppy now oh my gosh, we're back. So Sean agrees,
Speaker 3: I am the big brother.
Speaker 5: Wait what?
Speaker 3: Eric agrees I am the big brother, and the tease
Speaker 3: of reboot begins, and then we go into segment four,
Speaker 3: which is from minute fourteen oh two to minute fourteen
Speaker 3: forty three. We are still in the living room. Obviously,
Speaker 3: Sean is impressed. He wants to know the name of
Speaker 3: the computer check the green babe. Yeah, response, her name
Speaker 3: was dot. Sean says, it makes you want to try
Speaker 3: computer dating.
Speaker 1: Wow, I know, so like computer dating.
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Was that even a thing? It wasn't even real.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: Maybe you mean dating a computer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's what I honestly think that's the
Speaker 4: joke they're going for.
Speaker 1: Right, No, there must have been chat rooms at this point,
Speaker 1: because they're definitely like servers or ninety four were there?
Speaker 1: Oh ninety four? You're right, God, I was taking ninety
Speaker 1: eight Yeah, I mean okay, Like I definitely was on
Speaker 1: a service called Genie, which was like a general electric online.
Speaker 1: It was like there was like there was Prodigy in AOL.
Speaker 1: They were around, so there would have been like the
Speaker 1: potential to meet people online, but it was not called
Speaker 1: online dating. It was called computer dating.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the joke they were going for was
Speaker 4: you dating a computer girl?
Speaker 3: I think so too. That is a boot a like
Speaker 3: a three data.
Speaker 1: How is that a joke unless the phrase computer dating
Speaker 1: also has another meeting?
Speaker 2: Right? I have no idea.
Speaker 4: I don't know because I want to try dating a computer.
Speaker 1: But I said computer dating as if that was a thing.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3: Like, I know you're right here right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Well, then Morgan screams, this, what's gonna happen?
Speaker 9: You think mom and everyone's gonna crash?
Speaker 2: Times?
Speaker 1: Did they make her do it? What is five?
Speaker 7: Here?
Speaker 4: Six?
Speaker 3: Maybe it's five? Oh my gosh, I just imagining Adler
Speaker 3: trying to do this. Tapanga says they'll find out soon.
Speaker 3: Corey wants to know how they got reboot to look
Speaker 3: so three D. In reality, it's the most dated niceties
Speaker 3: grounds ever seen.
Speaker 4: They're awesome.
Speaker 3: Eric says it's computer animation, very complex, cutting edge stuff.
Speaker 3: He knows this because he reads a lot he's taking classes.
Speaker 3: His friends just stare at him and disbelief, forcing Eric
Speaker 3: to admit he got a copy of the.
Speaker 12: Script during the commercial breaks. So even the commercials so
Speaker 12: now he has a script that he's memorized that we
Speaker 12: did not know script that.
Speaker 1: The script, and how we.
Speaker 3: Don't have hir conviews.
Speaker 2: So we're looking at.
Speaker 1: Him going, but Eric, you're going off the script by
Speaker 1: going on to the script. That's that's what this moment is.
Speaker 1: Speak about how trippy this is.
Speaker 3: It's so weird, it's so weird. Man, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: that's so funny. Corey argues they haven't had a commercial break,
Speaker 3: and Eric asks, then what do you call this?
Speaker 5: And that's the question.
Speaker 1: Asking what is that?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Well, that's the end of the segment. That's that's that's
Speaker 3: where that segment ends. Then we go into segment five,
Speaker 3: which is from minute seventeen eleven to minute eighteen thirty.
Speaker 3: Eric is back on the phone, but now a new
Speaker 3: one with a wire antenna. Is this the living room phone?
Speaker 3: And the other huge phone was from the kitchen?
Speaker 2: I think has the chord right along. I'm guessing this
Speaker 2: is the boys upstairs.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right? Switching out phones, Corey asks Morgan what
Speaker 3: she thinks of the cartoons so far, and here's how
Speaker 3: she answers.
Speaker 8: Thank it, bank, kit I'll be watching all feman.
Speaker 4: What does she say, bab, I'll be watching all season.
Speaker 2: Oh so this is you know, Oh this also makes
Speaker 2: sense though she I just thought about it wasn't Chris
Speaker 2: Kier let go after season one, so she had she
Speaker 2: might not have had any dialogue coach that had ever
Speaker 2: worked with her before.
Speaker 4: And you can tell.
Speaker 3: I wonder if it was just Jeff, just Jeff alone
Speaker 3: for the first time.
Speaker 4: Poor Jeff Jeff an island by himself because.
Speaker 1: Tired didn't make it into the second season.
Speaker 2: I don't think he did.
Speaker 1: Didn't he say he was let go after the first
Speaker 1: one because he was brought in by April Kelly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah he was let go.
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 2: Yikes.
Speaker 4: You can tell. That's why a good dialogue coach can
Speaker 4: change the whole ball.
Speaker 7: Jet Yeah. Jet.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Eric is now chatting with Stacy on the phone.
Speaker 3: He says not to worry, Jennifer won't know they're talking
Speaker 3: because they're currently showing commercials. He explains that the only
Speaker 3: person you can see on TV now is He glances
Speaker 3: at the screen and realizes me, Stacy hangs.
Speaker 2: Up and do you look at this? Look at the TV?
Speaker 3: The TV right He's to see himself on the TV.
Speaker 2: None of us look directly at the camera. I don't
Speaker 2: think ever. I think now we're stay fly.
Speaker 3: On the wall.
Speaker 2: I'm doing the pizza box.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that. No, you're doing it to us. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's as if we're sitcom for camera style mixed with
Speaker 3: the meta neiss of knowing. We're shooting a program.
Speaker 1: And we're promoting the cartoons cartoon that's on the TV pro.
Speaker 1: We're promoted just to each other.
Speaker 2: We're just like, what do you think, Well, we're promoting
Speaker 2: it to everybody else because everybody's watching that.
Speaker 1: Everybody. Are we dressing everybody? Are we turning to looking
Speaker 1: at it? They're just third person. They're like, the audience
Speaker 1: is going to love this.
Speaker 3: Brain hurts.
Speaker 1: So we're talking to each other about how the audience
Speaker 1: is going to love it.
Speaker 4: Correct scripts. Some of us are getting scripts other people
Speaker 4: aren't getting.
Speaker 1: And the camera is somewhere hidden yeah oh man, layers, yeah, layers,
Speaker 1: the layers at the onion.
Speaker 3: So Stacey hangs up and Eric puts down the wire antenna.
Speaker 3: What do you think about your facting?
Speaker 4: Will I was pretty happy with my factoring in this
Speaker 4: previous episode. Yeah, this might be the best facting I've
Speaker 4: ever done.
Speaker 3: It was really good.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Eric sarcastically asks his family if he's ever told them
Speaker 3: how wonderful and under standing A girl Jennifer is the
Speaker 3: phone rings and Eric knows who that is. He will
Speaker 3: take it in the kitchen. It's going to be extremely loud.
Speaker 3: As he leaves, Topanga asks what the next show is.
Speaker 3: It's Bump in the Night. Corey explains, they are about
Speaker 3: these weird little creatures that live under your bed, and
Speaker 3: we just did we just realize there should have been
Speaker 3: a lawsuit from the show about from Monsters, inc.
Speaker 1: Oh open, then is it about the monsters?
Speaker 3: Yeah, monster, they don't live under the they don't live
Speaker 3: under the bed. They live in the closet. I guess
Speaker 3: in Monsters is transportation.
Speaker 1: Actually live in their own little land there?
Speaker 3: Okay. Corey explains, it's about these weird little creatures that
Speaker 3: live under your bed. Morgan states she doesn't have anything
Speaker 3: under her bed, but Sean says he does, mostly mold
Speaker 3: and empty pizza boxes. Corey says that wouldn't make an
Speaker 3: interesting show, so Sean accepts the challenge. He picks up
Speaker 3: a pizza box and uses it like a puppet. Hello boys,
Speaker 3: and girls, it's time once again for what's under Sean's bed.
Speaker 3: Corey is not impressed and closes the pizza box. It's
Speaker 3: time for bumping the night and writer, for as annoyed
Speaker 3: as you were about having to do this, you fully
Speaker 3: commit to this pizza box gag.
Speaker 1: It's horrible pizza.
Speaker 3: It's a good bit, it's a cute bit. I disagree.
Speaker 3: I did not think it was horrible at all.
Speaker 2: Put on a little voice, you did your your manipulating
Speaker 2: the box Yep, it worked well.
Speaker 4: I mean, Lily still stole the scene, but you did.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no there's no stealing the scene from Lily.
Speaker 4: We're all playing for second when she's on she's on camera,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 3: So let's jump into segment six, from minute twenty two
Speaker 3: nineteen to twenty two thirty one. We returned to the
Speaker 3: couch and things are definitely messier for absolutely no reason
Speaker 3: at all. Tapenga says, don't try this at home and
Speaker 3: hits Sean in the head with a bag of potato chips.
Speaker 3: So Sean returns the favor with a pillow.
Speaker 4: Yeah you know what, you know how this was set up?
Speaker 1: Kids being kids?
Speaker 4: I'm asking, do you know how this was set up,
Speaker 4: because I don't know how this no.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, although what I'm going to assume is if
Speaker 3: you watched the cartoon, there must have been something in
Speaker 3: the cartoon that's.
Speaker 12: There.
Speaker 3: We must have been playing, and so then coming out
Speaker 3: of that episode, there's something with people hitting each other
Speaker 3: with something, so we do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 3: So Unaffected Morgan asks Corey what he's doing, and he
Speaker 3: says he's doing mister Bumpy, while holding up a clay
Speaker 3: mold of a Bump in the Night character. He's grunting
Speaker 3: a goofy song. Sean says it's no mister pizza box.
Speaker 3: Corey admits stop action is harder than it looks. Then
Speaker 3: Eric returns on the phone. He's still arguing with Jennifer.
Speaker 3: He says, if that's how she feels, then there's nothing
Speaker 3: he can do to change your mind, but still goes
Speaker 3: into a spiel about how when a man is asked
Speaker 3: to host a Saturday morning cartoon special, it puts a
Speaker 3: lot of pressure on him.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, before we go any further, I
Speaker 2: just want you to know that that's officially going to
Speaker 2: be my new.
Speaker 4: Euphemism for sex.
Speaker 3: Mister Bumpy.
Speaker 2: I'm that I'm doing mister Bumpy. So just so, hey man,
Speaker 2: what are you up to doing mister Bumpy?
Speaker 3: Just letting you know, looking forward to mister Bumpy tonight.
Speaker 2: Can be doing, is it?
Speaker 1: Mister and missus Bumpy?
Speaker 3: Just Eric is listening to dial tone again. He laughs
Speaker 3: it off and says they were disconnected. She'll call back.
Speaker 3: Corey offers him a spot on the couch and he
Speaker 3: defeatedly accepts. Morgan explains that if he spent more time
Speaker 3: watching cartoons, he wouldn't have any girl problems. And now
Speaker 3: they've seen Free Willy, Reboot and Bump in the Night.
Speaker 3: Morgan categorizes them big hit, Mega hit, monster hit. Corey
Speaker 3: runs down the entire Saturday Morning lineup. Eric hands the
Speaker 3: phone to Morgan. If a girl calls, I'm not there.
Speaker 3: Sean then snatches the phone from her. He'll be taking
Speaker 3: all the calls. And that's the end of that segment.
Speaker 3: And now our seventh and final segment, which goes from
Speaker 3: minute twenty eighth two to minute twenty nine thirty five.
Speaker 3: It's now just Corey to Pega, Sean and Eric on
Speaker 3: the couch. Corey declares that was the best ABC Saturday
Speaker 3: Morning lineup in the History of the World. He looks
Speaker 3: for Morgan to agree, but they realize she's gone to
Speaker 3: Pega says she went to call her friends and tell
Speaker 3: them all about the lineup. Eric can't believe it. Can
Speaker 3: she remember all those shows? And Sean says he can too.
Speaker 3: Eric dares him to prove it, and so Sean goes
Speaker 3: deep into thought. He stumbles and Corey takes over. It's
Speaker 3: pro followed by Sonic the Hedgehog, followed by Free Willie exactly.
Speaker 3: Sean yells out. Corey continues reboot, followed by Bumping the Night,
Speaker 3: followed by Tales from the Cripkeeper. Sean continues to act
Speaker 3: like he's killing but Corey's actually the one running it down.
Speaker 3: He concludes with the Bugs and Tweety Show, the Adams Family,
Speaker 3: and the ABC Weekend Special. Sean pretends he knew them all.
Speaker 3: Topega asks but what happens after the Weekend Special and
Speaker 3: Corey says he go outside, you get some marror, you
Speaker 3: get a life. Sean can't believe his ears and miss
Speaker 3: professional bowling. Eric says they'll tape it for him. Corey
Speaker 3: is satisfied. What a great line app What a great season.
Speaker 1: Doesn't want to be outside playing basketball.
Speaker 2: Right because because the car is now you like bowling,
Speaker 2: and now I like bowling. Oh, by the way, that
Speaker 2: there's no reason for Lily not to be there other
Speaker 2: than the fact that we must have gone over and
Speaker 2: they're yes.
Speaker 3: Because because they had to write her out of the segment.
Speaker 4: Yep absolutely had to Tapanga.
Speaker 3: Knows where her bread is buttered and add that it's
Speaker 3: going to be a great season for Boy Meets World too.
Speaker 3: Lots of changes. Corey reveals Corey and Sean are going
Speaker 3: to be in high school with Eric, which is news
Speaker 3: to Eric. That's not cool and he wants cool changes,
Speaker 3: like being in an all girls dorm in college next
Speaker 3: to Swedish gymnasts and all they know how to say
Speaker 3: is y'all Eric, y'all. Eric giggles in giddiness. Sean Sean proclaims,
Speaker 3: since they're making changes, he wants the title to be
Speaker 3: Sean meets World. So Corey suggests Boy meets New best Friend.
Speaker 3: Sean understands, let's leave it the way it is, so.
Speaker 1: Now we know we're on a show.
Speaker 3: We are met Yep, and Ben is the star of it,
Speaker 3: and you're a friend star of.
Speaker 1: It, but I want to be shot like.
Speaker 3: They call Boy Meets World a big hit, reminding us
Speaker 3: of that brand.
Speaker 1: Also, by the way, boy meets New best Friend. When
Speaker 1: you have a death chair and we've literally fired five
Speaker 1: of them, Yeah, think about that, and you're being forced
Speaker 1: to save these lines to each other, to the network
Speaker 1: that you know.
Speaker 5: It's terrifying.
Speaker 3: Yes, very scary, very exactively scared for your job. They
Speaker 3: call Boy Meets World a big hit, reminding us of
Speaker 3: that brand new catchphrase Morgan just said for the first
Speaker 3: time minutes ago. She tells the viewer to stick around
Speaker 3: and see all the cartoons they just previewed or else
Speaker 3: they did the special for nothing, but Sean reminds him
Speaker 3: they did get the food, and that's it. Little reminder.
Speaker 3: You can watch the special with the time codes throughout
Speaker 3: the YouTube link in the show notes, or click the
Speaker 3: link in our Instagram bio to check it out. We
Speaker 3: are going to keep it up there for a little while,
