About two weeks 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.519 ago she made the decision, which I'm sure was a 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.080 really very tough decision for her. But she let us 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.320 know about two weeks ago that she had decided she 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:50.440 wasn't going to continue with the podcast. This was one 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.960 hundred percent her decision. And look, two things can be true. 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.600 We can be really bummed disappointed that she's not going 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.680 to do seasons nine and ten with us with you, Yeah, 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.120 while still wanting her to be happy and to be 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.840 excited for her about the things she is working on 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:08.760 and does. 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:09.080 Want to do. 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.880 Yeah, I'm sad that she's not finishing this out with us. 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.119 We started this together and I'm sad about that, if 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.840 I'm being honest, Well, which I always am.

So 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.480 I am it's very very kind of a little bit. 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.160 We all were sad when people left nine two one oh, 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.120 but the show, the show goes on, and there's a 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:21.480 lot of exciting things coming for the podcast. So yeah, 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.760 I just want to say I'm super excited that you 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.200 are going to finish the series. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:32.320 Me too. And also we'll miss you tour definitely, Yeah, 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:38.240 everybody will miss you. But reunion time, reunion time. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:43.160 The Gang's altogether. Yeah, Yeah, it really isn't as bad 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:44.280 as it has been. 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:45.520 Correct. 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.400 I think I feel it turning, Yeah, trying to turn, 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:49.800 you know. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:57.960 Gabrielle Andrea coming back really brought much needed. It's sort 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.680 of a camaraderie, a chemistry, a something. 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:05.720 A sense of like like the way it was. Yeah, 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.720 it's like, what's that word nostalgic. 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.880 And there's some sort of like ridiculousness in this episode 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.880 that I can't wait to talk about. You know, we'll 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.920 dig into it because there really is an interesting relationship 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:27.080 with Andrea and Brandon, a much needed relationship that is missing. 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:29.920 In some of the other episodes. 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:35.000 Sort of someone that pokes Brandon and pushes him. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.159 Back a little, but not in like a romantic way, 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.000 but in like a true friend forever kind of way. 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.640 Yeah, because even the other boys, Steve and David do 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:49.200 not do that. They I guess we saw it a 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.400 little bit when Steve was pushing back on Brandon trying 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.760 to go to the other paper leave and that, but 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:55.760 that was just so weird. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.520 It's just different when it comes from Andria. 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.880 Even things different when it comes to and I like 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.160 that she was so flawed and this we'll talk about it. 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:07.840 Yeah, okay. Jumping In season eight, episode twenty seven Reunion 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.920 aired April fifteenth, nineteen ninety eight. 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.000 Val drags David to the West Bever re union, but 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.960 lies at the party, Janet is ditched by Steve and 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.440 he doesn't say sorry. Donna protects Noah when other girls 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.680 are on the chase. Steve runs into Ronda but doesn't 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.279 remember her face. Andrea returns with a broken marriage and 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.400 no medical degree from Yale. David sings a condom song, 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.479 but it isn't a total fail. 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:39.440 Directed by Chip Chalmers, written by Doug Steinberg. Ah, this 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.560 makes sense now, the Chip Chalmers. Chip was a fun, 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.720 fun director, Like there was always a sense of like 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:47.040 happiness on the set. 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.159 And yeah, the direct no pressure again. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.680 The acting is good, the directing is good. There's still 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:54.039 some flaws. 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:57.200 In the writing. There's something wrong. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:01.080 Let's just start the top, because you know what, I'm confused. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:05.200 So I'm excited about our reunion. First of all, weird 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.240 because one of my best friends, Chlorina, told me she 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.240 was going to her high school reunion in the other 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.280 year and I was, ohic attack for her. And then 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.560 now this shows about the reunions so well. 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.719 And this is I mean, this is a five year reunion. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:18.560 Yeah, it's fun. 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.320 So all the like acting like, oh I didn't recognize you. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.840 It's like, dude, five three years later, it's not enough 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:32.360 time to like change that much. But this is it 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:38.920 starts with val wanting to attend the nineteen ninety three class. 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.039 Reunion, which I get, and also we kind of need 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:42.280 her there, do you know what I mean? 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:43.880 Like, yeah, she makes it fun. 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:44.520 Yeah. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.200 So David does not want to go. He's like, I'd 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:48.960 rather gouge my eyeballs. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.120 Okay, but here's what's ridiculous about that. 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.000 David doesn't want to go because he's a failure writing 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:56.279 commercial jingles. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.279 David's like embarrassed. He's a little like, you know, his 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.320 egos is a little blurred because he didn't hit it 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.120 big the way he thought he was going to or 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.000 he was supposed to or whatever. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:12.200 I need to talk about so many things, But do. 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.800 You want to talk about David's condom commercial jingle? Because 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:15.120 first of. 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:20.800 All, yes, and also the slow clap at the end 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:25.240 when he sings the condom commercial, just like this is 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.640 what I'm really doing, guys, the the condom condom and 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.520 then everyone stands there and then the one dude. 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.560 Amy, we're not there yet, you are? You know what? 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.200 Every time? Okay, we got to. 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.200 Get to the reunion first, all right, So are we 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.040 going like an order I don't know you. 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.680 I prefer order because there's a beginning of middle and 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:49.280 whatever you. 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:50.720 Want to do. Whatever you want to do, right, I'm 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.120 gonna jump around you. 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.000 You know you're gonna drive me nuts. Okay, So, but 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.840 then David is volunteered to perform his hit because he's 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:06.960 like his star one hit Wonder and do some noddling 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.160 on the keyboard with his condom jingle. 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.880 First of all, writing jingles. Do you know how many 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.320 people want to be writing jingles? 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:17.640 I'd like to write a jingle. 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.720 Correct. That's why I'm like, what in the world. 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.760 Jingles are like the most important thing in a society. 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.960 You know how much money people make on jingles and 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:27.160 theme songs. 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:28.280 Because they stick with you? 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:28.960 Do you know? 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:34.080 Alan Thick wrote Facts of Life Different Strokes. He sang 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.079 some of them. Yeah, he wrote Facts of Life. I 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.199 think with Gloria Loring, who I think appeared on an 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:42.280 episode of nine or two and Oero. 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.240 That sounds familiar. 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:48.000 Yeah, and yeah, facts of Life Different Strokes. I think 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.240 I've talked about this, but there's a version of where 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.840 Robin Thick did like a Mother's Day special and he 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.480 sings the theme songs but kind of makes them Robin 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.600 thicky and let me tell you, never in my life 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.719 have I been like was different strokes like a. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:07.600 Top ten hit. It's so yes, And then they do 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.320 that you take the good, you take that right? He 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.760 makes it like soul and I'm like, I think I 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:14.640 love you. 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.120 Ro I have the question, who's this new sorority batch? 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.839 Is this a news person in the show that I've 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.480 never seen before? I actually been here before. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.360 Everyone in the high school didn't go to the high school. 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.720 I've never seen it before, any of these people. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.520 I mean, we never really showed any of the other. 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:31.960 People, but not really. 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:37.080 Yeah, it was weird because also too, the metro La 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:43.760 is the magazine that's got Noah on the cover. Oh yeah, Like. 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.360 It was so strange because he doesn't go to the 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.079 high school. And it made no sense. 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.640 I didn't understand what were they talking there? Were they 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:56.080 talking like shit about everybody in the little pamphlet for 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.760 the reunion that was apparently passed out out of the game. 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.199 Let me tell you how a reunion works. 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.080 Yeah, tell me, because I've never been to one. 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.480 This is how a reunion works. And I am these 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:12.000 people's exact age. You get like a weird email. Hey, 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.600 we're having a reunion at the Veterans Hall seven o'clock 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:20.800 on the ninth and you show up. There's no pamphlet, 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.199 there's no year book, there's none of the whole thing. 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.640 Feel like talking badly about everybody. 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.559 That's let me tell you what. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.840 There also wasn't a stage where Brandon Walsh gave like 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.240 a heartfelt speech with a full spotlight on him. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.120 Oh, they don't have that, Like people don't get to 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:40.760 make speeches. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.960 And was it supposed to be at the school? You 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:47.560 also don't have your reunions at the school. The key 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.079 to the gym, by the way, that looks like no 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.560 key has ever looked. Did you see the key to 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.480 the gym? It wasn't the key. 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.960 Yeah. It was like I don't know a key from. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:04.600 Like a jewelry box, like. 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.600 These are the things that you notice.

She's having a freak out on the payphone. 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.840 Because oh, oh my god, oh my god. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.520 Having probably they're split up, they're divorced and they're co parenting, which, 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.680 trust me, I get it, it's challenging. 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:18.800 But obviously, like they had to inform us, inform us 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:23.720 of this quickly right at the top payphone scene. Mind you, 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:25.800 everyone has a cell phone in nineteen ninety eight, Like 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.160 probably she probably would have had a cell phone, I think. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.600 So was it still like the big brick one, or 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.720 was it the flip flippy flip flip well, Andrea didn't 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.079 because they don't have a lot of money. 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:41.560 Sorry, so she's screaming on the payphone and then does 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.480 the old okay as they walk up, I'm just. 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.360 Like so cute though, the Brandon and Kelly go to 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.760 pickup at the airport. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.160 That seems real. 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.760 And also you could still like go in to the 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.120 airport in this time, right, you know what I mean? 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:58.800 Like no one goes to the inn anymore, yet. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.320 They don't go to the gate. I mean you even 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:01.079 go to the airport. 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.520 Me I pick people up, but definitely curbside in your car. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:05.040 Yeah. 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:06.000 I mostly I'm like. 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.000 Can you just come over to lot A like I'm 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.160 in Latte. I don't even pull up the circling. The 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:12.680 circling drives me nuts. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.040 Well, what I did love was when they were back 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.600 at the Beach Department and Brandon and Kelly and Andrea 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.200 are hanging out and they're just laughter coming from the kitchen, 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.880 and it made me so happy to hear somebody, anybody 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.760 laughing on this show, like having a good time, because 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.040 nobody does that anymore. The characters never laugh and like 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.520 have a you know, celebrate. 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.120 It should be loose and fun. 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.439 I think that's sort of maybe one of the struggles 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.960 of season eight. It's like it's so dramatic and heavy, 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.000 and it's like, can we just have some fun. I 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.560 also loved now it got weird. I'm not gonna lie 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.560 the scene where Andrea goes to the paper. I'm like, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.600 what a great moment that Andrea is gonna go in 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.000 there and see what they're doing and be impressed, you know, 0:13:58.080 --> 0:13:59.760 like they really are doing something. 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:00.440 You know. 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:05.880 The part that got weird is suddenly Janet says I'm 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:06.600 your date. 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:12.120 And makes it aco taco because yes, she's like, is 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.560 she just doing that to save Steve's from embarrassment about 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.000 having a date? Or of a sudden she just is like, 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:19.480 this is. 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.080 A real date, and she literally loves him. 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.960 Gets invested out of nowhere. Did we see her thank you? 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.800 Did we see her like inklings of liking you know? 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.680 The most we saw to me was when the three 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:36.080 of them were sitting together at that strange ceremony awards 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:40.080 ceremony and it was Janet, Steve, and Brandon, and you 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:45.160 kind of got the like, oh, this is cool more Janet, right, 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.000 and you kind of she's getting really in the in 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:49.840 the groove with them, and she's sort of a part 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:54.960 of the group. It was so weird how they transitioned 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:56.520 them to being a cop. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.760 They do that because is this Janet being a little 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.720 presumptuous or is she taking a risk to get something 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.360 that she really wants? 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.840 Can I do a quick rewrite? Here's what I would have. 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.720 Done in the newspaper office. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.360 Yes, this is how I would have write storyline. Thank 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.040 you so much. Sorry, please indulge me. 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.280 So I don't mind that she's sort of like, oh, 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.400 I'm your date, kind of like, look, you got a date. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:23.920 I'm your date. 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:28.640 And she knows it's not a real date. Yes please, 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.400 and he knows it's not a real date. But they're 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.200 going through the motions, right, they're going through the motions, 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.000 and up comes you know, you don't even have to. 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.600 Get rid of Rhonda necessarily. 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.360 Like she's sort of like, you're hut, Steve, like whatever, 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:47.520 and Lindsay's kind of sorry, Janet, Oh, okay, Steve's sort 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.200 of like the big big man on campus. 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:53.120 Okay, cool. And then there's like a dance, right, and 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:59.280 during this dance suddenly they realize, oh my god, okay, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.720 but I. 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:05.080 Just want to say I love this this rewrite again. However, 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:10.200 it's the tropiest thing I've ever heard. Huh, totally, But 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.440 that's why it works. See why they write the tropes over. 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.760 And over and over, and it's like, I would be 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.240 okay with a trope here. I'm even trying to figure 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.960 out how we could get the whole stupid shower thing 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:21.400 in there. 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.920 Yeah, maybe I. 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.120 Love Steve being on stage naked. 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.400 Totally, so maybe there's a way. Like Okay, I got it, 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:30.600 I got it. They have this. 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.640 Moment where they almost kiss, they're sort of starting to 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.040 have feelings for each other, but then it's like, no, 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:36.880 that's so weird. 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:37.640 We work together. 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.680 So then he goes with Ronda with the key and 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:45.160 he gets like, you know, burned by Ronda no clothes, 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.160 comes out on stage and Janet's like, oh my god, 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.560 and so then she just goes home. Right, So instead 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:55.000 of the weepy cry cry, he comes to Janet's very tropy. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.240 He should have been embarrassed though. 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.400 For the nakedness or for how weep well. 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.359 I felled him birs because that's what they're doing with 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:09.640 the Steve character. Eight years later, correct story, correct answer, reunion. 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:13.920 But I felt, honestly like man I in that sucks. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.119 And how about when he goes to Janets and he's like, 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.119 I had to go all the way to the flower mart. 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:19.840 These are really hard to get. 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.920 And it's like the flower Mark's not upen at Midnight's 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.600 her like, no, you went like Sevy is the best 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.199 you're gonna do to get flowered. But he's like, oh, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.320 it's really hard to I would have loved it to 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.040 be more like comedy, like okay, you know they have 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.760 this moment, yeah, we feel the tension, but oh, it 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.639 doesn't happen. And then he gets dragged away by Rhonda. 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.200 He's in the shower, she steals the clothes, he's out 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.560 on stage naked. Janet's like, oh my god, he's Naja clown, 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.840 you know whatever. And then she goes home because like 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.199 she's not who cares. And then he shows up and 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.320 he's like, hey, I just wanted to come over because 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.119 we didn't really get to say goodbye. And what I 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.520 realized is I wanted to kiss you boom. 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:00.720 Yeah. 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.199 I didn't love it that she was crying. It was 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.840 so weird and that's not Janet. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.760 Janet's fun, thank you, and she's not weak, don't make 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.040 her like, oh no, oh, Sneve, I want a real date. 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:15.560 You need to treat me right. 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:17.520 It's like she's in on it, dude, she knew it 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:19.879 wasn't a real date. And then he needs to chase 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.199 her like I realized after Ronda stole my pants that 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.400 you were the one, and then it's like, yeah, kiss 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:27.920 give me that. 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:32.160 It's so good.

Monica stared down shame 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.320 and came out the other side. And she is here 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.480 to change what you thought you knew.

Did you notice that David 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:56.400 called Andrea? Andrea? 0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:58.080 Oh, I missed that? 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.760 When he says hello to her, not seeing her for 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.280 however many years, he says, Andrea. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.720 No, stop, I swear, how did I miss that? 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:08.439 I would have lived for that, because you know, I 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.000 hate when they do Brandon Brendan. 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:11.320 I'm like, his name's not Brendan. 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:15.000 Wait, but she says in I'm not sure if it's 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.600 the jogging scene.
