1
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you all an update because we've

2
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: seen your comments. We know that a lot of you

3
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: are actually watching the show along with us in real time,

4
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: not jumping ahead, and so a lot of you are

5
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: wondering when are we going to start our season six rewatch. First,

6
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: I would like to thank you for your patience with us. Honestly,

7
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: needing to take a break between seasons is something I

8
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: know for me, I need to do in order to

9
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: not burn out on the show. Basically, it's a nice

10
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: palette cleanser. It gives me a little bit of time

11
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: to digest what we've just watched. We can easily if

12
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: we just keep going right through it and barrel right

13
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: through it. We get burnt out hearing ourselves talk about it.

14
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: We also find that we need a little bit of

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: space between it so that we don't become hyper fixated

16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: on maybe something that's negative. It helped, it truly helps

17
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: us to do these episodes.

18
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: It's just a nice palate cleanser for us.

19
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: It's a creamy sorbet. It's a creamy sorbet.

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: It's thank you, It's a creamy sorbet.

21
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: Between creamy sorbet.

22
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 4: It's a palate.

23
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: You have the sorbets smelling coffee beans in between sense

24
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 1: it refreshes.

25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 5: You've never had them bring go to a restaurant where

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 5: like in between courses they'll bring you a little sorbet

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 5: that just cleanses the palate.

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 6: And yeah, I thought ginger and sushi or like like

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 6: a just a plain cracker, right like when your wine

30
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 6: tasting sorbet.

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: It's an amuse douche. No, it's a moose booth.

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: Oh did I get that wrong? Ah?

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: Anyway, thank you for your patience with us.

34
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: I think we just stop.

35
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: You just know more I want to not do.

36
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 5: People'll say, if we just just that's the end, We're

37
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 5: going to.

38
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 6: Pretend season five ended because I actually think I'm gonna

39
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 6: feel that way.

40
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: So we don't know.

41
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: We've heard.

42
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 5: I've heard that season six is really bad, and I've

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 5: also heard that season six.

44
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: Is really really bad. So I don't know which one

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: it's going to be. We'll have to see.

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: So I wanted to make the announcement that we are

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: going to start our season six rewatch on February twentieth.

48
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: That's going to be our date, February twentieth. It's my

49
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: mom's birthday. It doesn't mean anything to any of you, guys,

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: but it is true. And another announcement, our very first

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: guest of season six is going to be maitland Ward.

52
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: So we look forward.

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: To welcoming Rachel onto our podcast. Can't we to get

54
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: her perspective and her thoughts on her time on Boy

55
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: Meets World. And once again, thank you all for your patients.

56
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to pod meets World.

57
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: I'm Daniel Fishall, I'm right or Strong, and I'm Wilfordell.

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: Guys, this might have been the most heated voice memos

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 4: we've received yet. Oh really, asking our listeners should to

60
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: Panga have went to Yale?

61
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: Hot button? Hot button issue.

62
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 4: Is truly a controversial move. We received hundreds of voice memos. Wow,

63
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: I would say two or three were yelling.

64
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: Oh really, do we have yellers?

65
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: We had yellers?

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: Are they angry?

67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 5: I mean?

68
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: Was that an overwhelming like point of view? Was there

69
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: one winner?

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 7: Really?

71
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: I mean I think if you had, if you really

72
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 4: had to vote, I think probably went to Yale would

73
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 4: have won, but not by much. Okay, I don't think

74
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 4: it could have beaten sixty five thirty five. I don't

75
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: you know, I don't think it could have been much

76
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: worse than that. So it was it was close. It

77
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: was close. Wow, did you expect that? Was that? Was

78
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: that what you thought would happen?

79
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: I would have thought overwhelmingly they would have said, gone

80
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 5: to Yale. That would have been my personal opinion. Eighty

81
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 5: twenty at the most, or at the least, I would say, yeah,

82
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 5: But fans of.

83
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 3: Woman's World love ka like that's that's a big part

84
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: of the show. So I don't know, I was totally yeah,

85
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: I had no idea.

86
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 2: I'm actually kind of surprised that it leaned at all

87
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: toward to Penga should have gone to Yale.

88
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: I think I would have thought real close to fifty

89
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: to fifty, if not sixty forty, she would have been

90
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: successful anywhere. Because I even go back and forth between

91
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: like we put a lot of importance on in the show.

92
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: We put a lot of importance on who you marry

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: and who you choose to stay with, but we also

94
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: tend to put a lot of importance on like where

95
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: you go to school. I'm like, knowledge to Penga was

96
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: going to be successful no matter where she went to school. Well,

97
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: so I actually thought more people would have said, why

98
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, throw a wrench into your entire life.

99
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: Let me throw another wrench at you.

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 5: Do you think the numbers would have changed had Girl

101
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 5: Meets World not existed where we got to see that

102
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 5: fact that Topanga was successful.

103
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: That comes up a lot.

104
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: Okay, well, yeah, I mean I was taking Girl Meets

105
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: World out of it. I wasn't even thinking about the

106
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: fact that we see that she's a lawyer and all that.

107
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: I know that we do, but I do still just

108
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: generally think, like, you know, when you're the smartest person

109
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: in your school or in the top of your class,

110
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: and you're driven.

111
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: And you are you know, uh, you can kind of

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: do well anywhere.

113
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: Like I think of Tapanga as being the type that

114
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: you could throw her into a situation where she might

115
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: not know anything, and very quickly she'll figure it out.

116
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: She'll figure out how to do what needs to be

117
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: done and how to be good at it and how

118
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: to succeed.

119
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: And I think she could have done that anywhere.

120
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm actually I'm surprised it's not the other

121
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: way interesting.

122
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 4: All right, do you guys want a yes Yale or

123
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: a no Yale?

124
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: First surprise us?

125
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: All right, let's go with Melissa. She's out of Connecticut.

126
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: You may have heard of the place I have.

127
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 7: Hey, Podmeates World, my name is Melissa Client from Connecticut.

128
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 7: Love the show. I think that if we're asking the

129
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 7: question did Tapanga make the right decision, we're kind of

130
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 7: asking the wrong question. I honestly believe that where you

131
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 7: go to college at the end of the day doesn't

132
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 7: really matter. And I say that as someone who went

133
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 7: to what's been described as a third year university and

134
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 7: now I'm actually a faculty member at Yale, So like,

135
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 7: where I went to college did not matter. Now, if

136
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 7: we're asking would to Panga be better off now if

137
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 7: she had gone to Yale instead of proposing to Corey

138
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 7: and staying in Pennsylvania, I don't know. She's an attorney

139
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 7: in New York and it's seemingly making enough money that

140
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 7: she can live there while her husband is a middle

141
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 7: school teacher. So like what I would advise an eighteen

142
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 7: year old Hell, oh that's crazy.

143
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's all.

144
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: Right, good, good perspective. I love that.

145
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: I love that we have a perspective from somebody who said,

146
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: I went to what's called a third tier university and

147
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: now I work at you, work at you.

148
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, interesting. Good shout out to Connecticut too. Love the

149
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 5: good shout out to Connecticut.

150
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I do feel like the Girl meets

151
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 6: World kind of ruins this question.

152
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: That's what I mean, because the girl meets World and

153
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 3: everybody's happy.

154
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, it like if we we have to take that away,

155
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 6: we have to just say, like, let's take Boy.

156
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: Meets World on its own terms. Should she have gone

157
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: to Yale or not? Should?

158
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 5: But that's like say, don't think of a white horse.

159
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 5: You know, it's the first thing you're gonna think of.

160
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's it. Does it? Kind of they've shown

161
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 5: that she made the right decision already, so it kind

162
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 5: of makes the question negates the entire question, Frank, what's

163
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 5: the point?

164
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and here's Elizabeth. She has a different take.

165
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 8: Hello, guys, Elizabeth here from Washington, one thousand million percent.

166
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 8: She should have gone to yell Oh, no question, you

167
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 8: go to Yolle. They could have made it work because

168
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 8: essentially all of those the Northeast, as somebody who's from

169
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 8: New England, it's not far from me, so nothing is far,

170
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 8: so you can make it work. And if it didn't work,

171
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 8: it wasn't meant to be Anyways. I did vote on

172
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 8: the website that they should go get married because I

173
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 8: was a child and did not understand the real world

174
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 8: as I do now as a thirty four year old woman. Now,

175
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 8: I don't think you should have proposed to him. You

176
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 8: should have gone through college and see what happens. Yeah,

177
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 8: go to Yale to Panga.

178
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: I love it.

179
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: I love it.

180
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: You know, it is so true, the difference between like

181
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: the perspective you had as kids the perspective you have

182
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: now as adults, whether or not Girl meets world's playing

183
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: into it at all, whether.

184
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: Or not you know.

185
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so many factors.

186
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 9: Well it is.

187
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 5: There's a great quote the other day about somebody rewatched

188
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 5: Dirty Dancing as an adult and they're like, are you

189
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 5: kidding me?

190
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: He looks like he's forty, she's sixteen. Put baby in

191
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: a corner.

192
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: Gets all the time out.

193
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it depends on when.

194
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 9: You watch it.

195
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: Not everyone was as focused on the relationship. Hillary from

196
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 4: Canada makes a pretty good point about something we missed.

197
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 10: High Pie meets World longtime listener, first time voice memoir.

198
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 10: I saw the questions you posted after the season five finale,

199
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 10: but my question is, really, how did we not acknowledge.

200
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 10: The music when Eric is repelling out of Feel's office

201
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 10: is a reprise to the theme of good Looking Guy.

202
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 10: I loved the throwback, so I just wanted to make

203
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 10: sure you guys were aware. Love the show and yeah,

204
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 10: that's all I got.

205
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: That's so cool. Yeah, I don't think I picked up.

206
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: I don't think I picked up at all.

207
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

208
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: No, I don't think I noticed it in the moment either.

209
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: But then when we heard about it, I was like, wait,

210
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: I do kind of remember hearing that, but I think

211
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: maybe it was just like, oh, that's what that was.

212
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: So I think when I watched it, I was aware

213
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: that something sounded familiar, but didn't put it together with

214
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: one of us. It's so funny, that's great.

215
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 4: This isn't who made a point that was unique, which

216
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 4: is hard to do when you get hundreds of emails you're like, oh, wow,

217
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 4: this is a completely different take on it.

218
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: Hi.

219
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 11: I'm Nicole. I'm in Seattle, Washington, and I totally am

220
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 11: fully support to Panga for choosing Corey over Yale. I

221
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 11: think that we teach children that they should be prioritizing

222
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 11: education in their career over everything else, and then when

223
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 11: they become workaholics and not very good parents are very

224
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 11: good partners in their relationships. We wonder why this is

225
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 11: exactly why, because we're training them from the very beginning

226
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 11: that they have to prioritize their career, and that's not true.

227
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 11: We know that the people around you are more important.

228
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 11: And to Paning It does a really good job of

229
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 11: showing us this. She does not give up on her

230
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 11: dreams to be with Corey. She still goes and gets

231
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 11: really good grades at a really good school. We know

232
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 11: that she becomes a successful lawyer. She shows us that

233
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 11: you can choose your relationship and your future and your

234
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 11: personal wants at the same time. It doesn't matter if

235
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 11: they stayed together forever or not. She has the right priorities,

236
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 11: and she's so different from other characters on TV. At

237
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 11: this time. I start a watching this on Disney Channel

238
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 11: and I just loved her so much, love the pod,

239
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 11: Thank you so much. I will defend this forever.

240
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: That's a good point. It's a totally good point.

241
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 6: But here's my here's my problem. Does Corey ever make

242
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 6: a similar sacrifice?

243
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: Right?

244
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: Does Corey ever choose his relationship over his personal success

245
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: or his person No, like he's he chose a relationship

246
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: with Lauren. I just feel like, I just feel.

247
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 6: Like Tapanga is asked as a character to make this

248
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 6: incredible sacrifice, and she does for the sake of, you know,

249
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 6: highlighting this powerful relationship. But Corey doesn't do the equivalent.

250
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 6: He never has to do the equivalent. He just has

251
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 6: to give up not sleeping with random girls throwing themselves

252
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 6: at him.

253
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: They try, that's tough.

254
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 5: Well, they tried to make him seem self self less

255
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: when he's like, no, she's you've got to go. He

256
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 5: made her say it once or twice, but he didn't

257
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 5: even believe that or really feel that. Yeah, it's very strange.

258
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 5: It's a selfish character with a selfless character.

259
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: I mean, it's why you're talking about their relationship. I

260
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 4: want to play a call from Isaac, not so much

261
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: for his content or opinion, but for his mistake.

262
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 12: Hey, guys, is I said a long time listener of

263
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 12: the podcast. I just wanted to say, I don't think

264
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 12: that she should have not gone to I think, yeah,

265
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 12: I think you should have gone to jail. I mean

266
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 12: not jail, but Yale, you.

267
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 2: Should go to jail.

268
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: She should have gone to jail.

269
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 4: It was a cool mistake. I don't know. All right,

270
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: here's here's Kelsey. She's got the other side for Yale.

271
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 13: Hi, my name's Kelsey, and I'm dropping a pin in Woodland.

272
00:12:59,280 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: Hills, Califul.

273
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

274
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 13: Now, at the time this episode originally aired, I absolutely wanted,

275
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 13: according to Panga, to get married. But I was ten

276
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 13: and my frontal lobe was basically mashed potatoes. Now, as

277
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 13: I'm the same age as what I assume the writers

278
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 13: of this episode were at the time they wrote it,

279
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 13: I can't fathom writing a story about an eighteen year

280
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 13: old girl proposing to the world's worst boyfriend and not

281
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 13: having an end in tragedy. What should have happened is

282
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 13: Tapanga should have dumped him, graduation, gone to Yale, lost

283
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 13: her virginity to some dufus named Chad, and then my

284
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 13: very impressionable preteen mind could have seen a story about

285
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 13: how virginity is a social construct that means nothing and

286
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 13: to not make it such a source of fear and stress.

287
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 13: And this is coming from a real life virgin on

288
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 13: her wedding night.

289
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 4: Love the pod.

290
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 2: Wow, geez, yes much start a podcast.

291
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, God's.

292
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 4: Unpack.

293
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 5: Ah.

294
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 4: This is from Kelsey to Chelsea. I love this take.

295
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 4: It's something I've never thought of, but boy, I adore it.

296
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 14: Hey, this is Chelsea. I'm a teacher from Texas, and

297
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 14: I think we're arguing about the wrong thing. To Pega

298
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 14: getting into Yale in the first.

299
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 9: Place is ridiculous.

300
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 14: Yes, it's established that she's smart and at the top

301
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 14: of her classes, but look at who else is in

302
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 14: those classes, Corey and Sean. That means she's at the

303
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 14: top and all regular on level courses, not honors or AP.

304
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 14: Good for her, but Yale would never I propose that

305
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 14: the other part of the school is the honors hall.

306
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 14: This explains why Corey and Seawan look over there with

307
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 14: such trepidation. Critical thinking happens over there, turners over there,

308
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 14: teaching courses like existentialist theory in twentieth century comic books.

309
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 14: And Stuart has spent four years over there making weighted a's,

310
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 14: non regular a's like Topanga. Stuart would have a higher GPA.

311
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: Stuart would be valedictorian.

312
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: Stuart should be.

313
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 14: Going to Yale. Thank you for coming to my Stuart talk.

314
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 5: Yes, Wow, absolutely, she's in regular classes.

315
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: Think about that classes with Corey and Sean.

316
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, not much of an accomplishment.

317
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 6: Running in a.

318
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: Next to Corey and Sean doesn't really seem that special.

319
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. You would have gone to Yale, you

320
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: wouldn't have gotten in.

321
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 4: Come on, it's a good times to announce that Lean

322
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: Norris is coming back. Pretty excited about that is if

323
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 4: you watching an episode.

324
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: With us, How I Care is a good time.

325
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 4: All right, Here is Sarah. I this is one of

326
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: my favorite calls we've ever gotten.

327
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 15: Hi, guys, this is Sarah from Dallas, Texas. I'm very

328
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 15: pro to being a going to Yale for very personal reasons.

329
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 15: I'm a person who moved away from my high school

330
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 15: sweetheart to go to college, and it cost our breakup,

331
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 15: and it was probably the best thing that ever happened

332
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 15: to us. I got to so my wild oats. I

333
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 15: got to make all the mistakes you're supposed to make

334
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 15: in college. I got to experience life. I got to

335
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 15: date other people and figure out what I actually want

336
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 15: from a relationship and not just stick with the one

337
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 15: thing I'd ever had in high school. And I got

338
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 15: to pursue my dreams. And I think it was the

339
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 15: best thing that ever happened to me. And years later,

340
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 15: I reconnected with my high school sweetheart, and we're currently

341
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 15: married now because we got to come back together as

342
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 15: fully formed human beings who actually know what we want.

343
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 15: And I think that if we hadn't been able to

344
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 15: do that, we would have eventually ended up presenting each

345
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 15: other for not following our dreams just for the sake

346
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 15: of the relationship. And I just wish that Tipega had

347
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 15: been able to experience that. So yeah, that's my take.

348
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 6: Oh man, So that's yes, you get to have both.

349
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: You can go in, you can go to Yale, you

350
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: can live, you could be a fully realized individual and

351
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: still maybe have the love of your life that you

352
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: met when you were a kid. Like that can still happen.

353
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 5: I love that coming. We came together then as fully

354
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 5: formed human beings.

355
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: That's great.

356
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: It's great. Hold on, Here comes is that Lauren's music?

357
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 4: Sorry to bring in a wrestling term. Here comes Lauren

358
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 4: down into the ring. Hi Podneeds World.

359
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 16: I'm Lauren from Boynan Beach, Florida, and I've been a

360
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 16: fan since the original airings on cg IF. I wasn't

361
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 16: in high school yet when the season originally aired, but

362
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 16: looking back on it now, I realized that Tapanga situation

363
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 16: was a lot like what I went through when I

364
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 16: graduated high school. Tapango was young, only eighteen, so we

365
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 16: have to put ourselves back into the mindset of a

366
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 16: young and in love teenager. When I was a young

367
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 16: and in love teenager just graduating from high school, I

368
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 16: had the option of going to Berkeley School of Music,

369
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 16: or I could have stayed home and gone to a

370
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 16: school in Florida to be with my then boyfriend at

371
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 16: the time. I chose to stay near home and go

372
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 16: to the University of Miami. My then boyfriend is now

373
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 16: my husband and we've been together over twenty years. Do

374
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 16: I wonder what my life would have been like had

375
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 16: I gone to Berkeley. Yes, but I had a really

376
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 16: good reason in my own head not to go. I'm

377
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 16: very happy with the way my life has turned out now,

378
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 16: so I don't fall to Panga for not going to

379
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 16: Yale and staying behind with Corey. We know that Tapanga

380
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 16: went on to become a lawyer and work for a

381
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 16: prestigious firm. Again, that parallels my own life, as I

382
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 16: also went on to become a lawyer. Okay, love you all,

383
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 16: here's to another thirty years.

384
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 6: Wow geez, yeah wow, I mean yeah.

385
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: So you know, life's just going to work out the

386
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: way it's going to work out. Yeah, there's always the other.

387
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: There's always the other. You're always going to wonder what

388
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: if to a certain extent, if you're the type of

389
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: person who wants to spend time imagining what if I

390
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: had made different decisions, what would life have been like?

391
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: Then there's always a path you don't take.

392
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, But statistically, how often does the person that

393
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 6: you fall in love with at the age of four

394
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 6: eight end up being the greatest person, like the coolest,

395
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 6: most interesting, best person for you?

396
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: Very rare?

397
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 6: Like, statistically, we know that making the decision to be

398
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 6: with your childhood sweetheart is a risk. That is a

399
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 6: big risk, that is a bit and like, here's you know,

400
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 6: she just told a great story where it did work out,

401
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 6: Like she has.

402
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 3: A happy life with somebody that she met in high school.

403
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 6: But that's rare. Yeah, actually is very rare. And so

404
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 6: recognizing that in the context of I don't know.

405
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 5: Like.

406
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 3: It happens.

407
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 5: I'm next to a kid who I think they started

408
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 5: dating when they were freshmen in high school and I

409
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 5: think are still together and have kids, So I mean,

410
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 5: it does happen. It does, but it's definitely more.

411
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 3: Rare than not.

412
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 4: And yeah, wow, all right, what's light in the maybe

413
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 4: with Gary?

414
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 9: Hi? Gary Moore here Pudme's World on Tour Cosm Contest finalists.

415
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 9: That's justide the point. Should depend have gone to Yale? Listen? No,

416
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 9: because Sean could never get into Yale and then you'd

417
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 9: have a house divided and Corey would have to split

418
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 9: his feelings and we don't want that. We don't want

419
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 9: that any more than we already have that. So no,

420
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 9: because also that would destroy the storyline. Okay, should she

421
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 9: have proposed yes? Was there other ways around it? Of

422
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 9: course there were? Okay, they could have all just taken

423
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 9: a year off, a year abroad and went to Fiji

424
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 9: or Belgium or just had a back in time year.

425
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 9: That would have been fantastic. I don't know, I just

426
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 9: have I have a lot of feelings. Okay. Are we

427
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 9: rushing into this? Yeah? We are? Does it make sense

428
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 9: kind of to the show in retrospect?

429
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 4: God?

430
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 9: No, not at all. I love what you us are doing.

431
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 5: Keep doing it by anybody else, I'm sorry, but does

432
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 5: anybody else see Gary? You know, on a break at

433
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 5: work in the bathroom, whispering into his phone.

434
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: Picked because he needed like six more minutes to work

435
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: through all of his feelings.

436
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 4: Did not help him.

437
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: No, Gary was real stri He's like, but is it?

438
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: And does it?

439
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 6: Sure?

440
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 4: But what about.

441
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 5: I just see his feet on the toilet, like you say,

442
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 5: the people who know he's there, Gary, are.

443
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 17: You in here?

444
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: I'm talking about me world meats world.

445
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 4: And now listening to Leha, she says she supports Tapanga

446
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 4: and let's hear about her current predicament.

447
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 17: Hi, Pod, I'm in a bit of a Tapanga moment

448
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 17: myself as I apply to grad school while coordinating with

449
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 17: my boyfriend's job applications, and I keep hearing Phoene's voice

450
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 17: in my head saying, unless you have a very good

451
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 17: reason not to. As an affirmation as to why I'm

452
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 17: applying to these schools and maybe not some others. I

453
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 17: know I'm making the right decision because it means I'll

454
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 17: have a support system nearby and a hug at the

455
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 17: end of a long, hard day. Maybe Tapanga wanted that too.

456
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 17: I'm a similar student to Tapanga, so I feel comfortable

457
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 17: prioritizing all the important things in my life, including our

458
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 17: relationship and future, not just a potential job. As for Corey,

459
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 17: I know if my boyfriend or I applied somewhere random

460
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 17: without talking to each other, we would feel blindsided because

461
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 17: we have this shared plan. And the rewatch showed that

462
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 17: Corey encouraged her to go. She's the one who wanted

463
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 17: to stay close. Granted, I am older and not dealing

464
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 17: with a cheaterh like Corey, but there are definitely reasons

465
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 17: to stay close to the ones that you love. Love

466
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 17: you all your real life. Topanga out memo dismissed.

467
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: But to writer's point, sure, maybe right now you can persue.

468
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: You can say I'll end up with a hug at

469
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: the end of a long day, but two years in

470
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily know that that's gonna be the case,

471
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna be trapped, not trapped necessary.

472
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: If you look, you'll be in jail. You'll be in jail,

473
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 4: right yeah, yeah.

474
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 6: But also but also I'm sorry, Like there's a big

475
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 6: difference between grad school and undergrad like eighteen eighteen versus

476
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 6: in your twenties, your different brain.

477
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, at eighteen, you're not you're not an adult yet.

478
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: Like to me.

479
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 6: I didn't, like, my brain didn't come online until I

480
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 6: was twenty five. I feel like twenty five twenty six

481
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 6: is when, like, oh, I was a grown up.

482
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 3: I thought I was a grown up, right, I'm stilling on,

483
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 3: still waiting it'll happen to me.

484
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: I'm waiting I'll get there.

485
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, but no, it's true.

486
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true.

487
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 4: I don't know.

488
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 3: I know.

489
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 2: Eighteen is I mean ridiculous?

490
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 5: Eighteen It's such an arbitrary number to pick, like now

491
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 5: you're an adult, Like really, yeah.

492
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 1: No, there's a big difference between grad school and just

493
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: graduating high school.

494
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

495
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 6: I feel like in grad school I could make the

496
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 6: decision whether a relationship was worth sure investing or not.

497
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 3: At eighteen, I could not. I had no idea.

498
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 5: No.

499
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, our last flip peers from Jordan. Let's listen to

500
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 4: Jordan here.

501
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 18: Hi, my name is Jordan, and I feel like I

502
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 18: have a hot take on this. But I am very

503
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 18: much teamed to Panga not going to yell, And if

504
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 18: it were real life, I one hundred percent thinks she

505
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 18: should have gone to yell.

506
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: So please don't come for me.

507
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 18: But when I was growing up, I watched Boywe's World

508
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 18: on repeat, and I came from a broken home and

509
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 18: Corey and to Panga were kind of like they made

510
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 18: me believe in love, and now as an adult, I

511
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 18: can see how their relationship wasn't always great and the

512
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 18: red flags. And I can see also where you guys

513
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 18: are coming from, saying making people believe that you should

514
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 18: stay with somebody just because you believe in fate can

515
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 18: be harmful.

516
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: But for me, like that wasn't the case.

517
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 18: Like I've had relationships, I could still see red flags,

518
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 18: Like I wasn't idolizing Corey and Topanga and that and

519
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 18: being like, well, we're meant to be, so I need

520
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 18: to overlook this. It wasn't like that. I just there's

521
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 18: so much bad in the world. I just don't see

522
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 18: the harm and Coreyan Tapanga living happily ever after and

523
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 18: having a cute little end to that story. So that's

524
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 18: just me. Please don't be mad. I think the show

525
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 18: is great and I love the podcast.

526
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: Oh such a good point. It's sort of like.

527
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 6: Foeni is the ideal teacher, you know, like we can

528
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 6: accept that fantasy, right, we can accept the idea that

529
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 6: he is perfect as a teacher. He's infallible, and yet

530
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 6: we're criticizing the Cork Topanga relationship.

531
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 3: But it's also the same level of idealism.

532
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 7: It's a fantasy.

533
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 2: Sure.

534
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 6: The fantasy of Boy Meets World is that Corey and

535
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 6: to Panga are meant to be together, and that Phoenie's

536
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 6: a great teacher, Sean's a good friend. You know, like

537
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 6: there are these sort of fantasies that that are we

538
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 6: have to buy in, like we have.

539
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: That's true.

540
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 5: You have to remember that when you're twelve and you

541
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 5: read Romeo and Juliet, them dying together at the end

542
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 5: is the most wonderful thing in the world. When you're thirty,

543
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 5: you're like, really, you couldn't have waited ten more minutes

544
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 5: you would have been together, Like yeah, you.

545
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 4: Know, but it's true.

546
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 5: You get this idealized, fantasy version of a relationship and

547
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 5: written by adults.

548
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know. God, Season five is so

549
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: weird though.

550
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 6: It is so weird, Like if I think about season

551
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 6: four with like Tapanga moving to Pittsburgh and coming back, like,

552
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 6: I don't it's just it feels like a different show.

553
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 6: Season is five breaks Boy Meets World. Can I just

554
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 6: say that, Like it splits the show into something completely

555
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 6: I don't know where we are, Like.

556
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 5: Well, it's also I mean, one of the problems with

557
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 5: the entire thing when you look at it, is something

558
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 5: just basic as logistics. They have they have her getting

559
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 5: into a school that's three and a half hours away.

560
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: Now, as we talked about, it should have been it

561
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: should have been yes, yes, yes, And so that changes

562
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: it where just as one of our callers said, when

563
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: you grow up in New England.

564
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 5: You know, in California you drive for eight hours. You're

565
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 5: still in California. In New England you've been through forty

566
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 5: two states in eight hours. So it's like that. That's

567
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 5: what is maybe throwing me more than anything is logistics.

568
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: It's like you can do both.

569
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 4: You're three hours.

570
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 2: Away, right, So yeah, that was a big mistake, I think.

571
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 4: But yeah, well, as always, we want to thank all

572
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 4: our listeners and those are participating with their voice memos.

573
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 4: The amount is we're inundated, I could even say, with

574
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 4: voice memos and we love it and we'll do it

575
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 4: again soon, but this time again great close, I'm telling

576
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 4: you maybe sixty forty it's pretty close.

577
