<v Speaker 2>Yesterday I was like humid and there was rain like

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.040

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 2>in uh, like the Midwest somewhere.

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:35.800

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna say Florida because that's extreme, and that's

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 2>that is. Florida's its own kind of hell.

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>But such just uncomfortable though. It makes you feel like

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>dizzy and like you gotta drink a ton of water.

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.559
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's physically uncomfortable to me. You know, you

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>could medically. I felt this in Mexico, like I struggled

<v Speaker 1>on my hike and I didn't feel well afterwards for

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.120

<v Speaker 3>We draw attention anywhere we go.

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.600

<v Speaker 2>make fun of her that now that she's turned fifty,

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>she apparently just doesn't give a shit.

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, rules don't have affair to you. I was

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>so and I was mortified. I lost track of time

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>last week and suddenly I look, I'm like it was

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.440

<v Speaker 2>I'm so organized, and then.

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>The wheels fall off totally. So it'll be fine. But yeah,

<v Speaker 1>and he's putting there two weeks at his current job tomorrow,

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>and so he's a little stressed about it. He's got

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>some anxiety. You wanted a little pep talk, and I

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>was just like what do I do? And I'm like,

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>this is having adult children. I don't know. I don't

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>know how to cope with it. This is amazing.

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday, Zoe had went to her college and met with

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:58.919

<v Speaker 1>All of her classes, like all this stuff.

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Now she realized she might have to move some things

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>around depending on if she gets this this internship thing.

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:07.920

<v Speaker 2>She was telling me about her classes, like all of

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the things that are available to her.

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:13.200

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Like life, you know what I mean. It was just

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>it was it.

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Was that thing where all of a sudden, you go, oh, okay, okay,

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>we're coming through the other side, and through.

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>That there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 1>It's not all just like the transactional parenting thing, like no,

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like, right, we're talking about real world stuff now.

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>It's it's crazy. It's you should it's the mental shift

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>from being a parent to more of a mentor, and

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>which is hard because you got to let them make mistakes.

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.319
<v Speaker 1>That's been very hard for me is to just let fail.

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 1>I know, and I'm just wondering, I know, you know,

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>bite your fingers, sit on your hands.

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:50.319

<v Speaker 2>mom says to you that.

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 3>When you're on the receiving end of.

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>It, you're like, why would you say that?

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.200

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>When it's coming from your own mother, it sounds judgmental,

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>But when you're saying it, you're saying it out of concern,

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>like did you get enough sleep last night?

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:47.959

<v Speaker 1>and I'm Jodie Sweetson and I yet again cook.

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 2>A drink while you're saying your name, knowing I don't

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 2>have time to drink, get and swallow it before I

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 2>have to say mine.

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't do it. It's a habit. It's habit

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 1>because once I way you start talking, I take a drink,

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and then when I start talking, you take a drink.

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>So maybe it's just like it's a thing, the thing

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.439
<v Speaker 1>we do. I don't know Anyways, Today, anyway, we are

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>discussing season seven, episode five, Fast Friends. It originally aired

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>October twelfth, nineteen ninety three, and it goes little something

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 1>like this, Stephanie's new friends pressure her to smoke. Jesse

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>and Joey host a radio show called teen Talk or

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>is it Yackin' with youth? All right, and we have

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 1>a producer's note here. We have a note from a

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 1>listener regarding this episode from Amy Rosen. This is what

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>she says, Fast Friends was easily the most impactful episode

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 1>of television of my youth. I was so scared to

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>use the bathroom at school because of this episode.

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Great, Sorry, I caused some serious like bathroom trauma.

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's several reasons. Furious pathomy, right. She goes on

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 1>to say, I was worried that if I went to

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom that I would be peer pressured to smoke. Now,

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.959
<v Speaker 1>looking back, I realize in the twenty tens that kids

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.679
<v Speaker 1>were no longer smoking cigarettes. However, every time I had

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.559
<v Speaker 1>to use the bathroom during school, this episode would play

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>in my head like a cautionary tale. I wonder if

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>others had a similar reaction, and no, I thankfully had

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 1>no health problems by holding it in for years. Okay good. Oh,

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and she also adds a PostScript, but now saying cigarettes

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and east good in the accent Stephanie does when she

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>calls into the radio station as older is her favorite

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 1>vocal stem. So thank you. It all worked out, Yeah,

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>it was.

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 3>I've always been great at accents, what can I say?

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 1>And it's my favorite poor girl, for there was nobody

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 1>in the bathroom.

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 2>She just was like, if I go in there, they're

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna make me sew like never ventured in once, but

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 2>that that.

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Was what was going to happen.

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so this was an impactful episode of Amy.

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm so sorry well that you couldn't use the bath right.

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 2>She's like, and then I developed anxiety and started smoking

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.600
<v Speaker 2>because of the anxiety because I couldn't use the abumbe.

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:18.559
<v Speaker 1>She'll send you her bill from her urologists. Don't even worry. Right.

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 1>So this episode was directed by John Tracy. It was

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 1>written by Bob sand a name I don't don't. I

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 1>don't recognize that name. And we have lots of guest stars.

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>We have Darren Bennett as the voice of Randy. We

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 1>see him again in next season in episode eight. Ten

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Under the Influence. He plays one of the frat boys.

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering if he's related to Bobby Bennett, which is

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 1>my everywhere look who appears in the radio stationer. He's

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>primarily a musician and a composer, known for the dark

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>comedy film South of Sanity.

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, yeah, maybe Bob.

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean that would make sense, It would make sense

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>the having of Bennett's in the pass and it struck

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 1>me as yeah, and so we hear his voice now

0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and then we will see him in an episode a

0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>year from now in season eight, so okay. Next, we

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>have Miko Hughes returning as Aaron. We love him so much.

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.880

<v Speaker 1>appeared in a gazillion shows such as Days of Our Lives,

<v Speaker 1>Boy Meets World, Alien Nation, Big Bang Theory, and we'll

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:41.479
<v Speaker 1>see here again in seven fourteen. Is it true about Stephanie.

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that one's about.

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I remember that. I think it's like

0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Steph's a bad kissers. Oh, somebody starts to rumor about

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.160

<v Speaker 1>haven't had guest stars for several episodes, and now it's

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.840
<v Speaker 1>like we got a ton and we got some great

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 1>ones too. We start with the teaser. Michelle is in

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 1>the living room with Comet and the twins. She says

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to Comment, let's try it one more time, roll over

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.919
<v Speaker 1>and Comment sits. Michelle asks the boys to show Comment

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.919
<v Speaker 1>how it's done, and the boys both roll over on

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the carpet. She offers them a cookie and tells comment

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 1>see how easy it is. Then Comet rolls over and

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.120
<v Speaker 1>he gets a cookie too.

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 3>Did she get those cookies out of the same spot?

0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I think she's feeding everyone the same cookies? Yes?

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, because I was like at first, I was like, wait,

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 2>are they eating the dog treats or is the dog

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 2>eating the kid treats?

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with the ladder two.

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh, but you.

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 3>Know there's a weird man they'll eat.

0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I'm not judge, but yeah, it could

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:22.439
<v Speaker 1>be either or Okay. So the twins are loving this

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 1>idea and they just they along with comment just go

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.640
<v Speaker 1>back and forth, rolling around on the floor and Michelle shrugs,

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna need more cookies. And is this the first

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 1>time there hasn't been an adult actor in a teaser.

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like Michelle's carrying this whole teaser. I'm very impressed

0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 1>with that. We've ever had one with just the mind

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the little kids on the show, like, that's a that's

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a tall order, So very impressed.

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, i mean we leave them alone all the time,

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 2>so wonder we eventually we got to catch this is overdue.

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>They need to carry an entire teaser by themselves. You know.

0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:06.439
<v Speaker 4>Hi, it's Jenny Garth, hosts of the I Choose Me podcast.

0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:10.919
<v Speaker 4>This week Monica Lewinsky. Yes, that Monica, the one the

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 4>world tore apart. She's still standing, She's back and done hiding.

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.400
<v Speaker 1>It really felt like it was one of those situations

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>where you literally do or die.

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.200
<v Speaker 4>Monica stared down shame and came out the other side.

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 4>And she is here to change what you thought you knew.

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's sort of not over until we try it.

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.439
<v Speaker 4>A conversation that will inspire you to choose yourself starting today.

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 4>Listen to I Choose Me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 4>or wherever you get your podcasts.

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Next, in the kitchen, Danny is making breakfast and Jesse

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and Michelle are at the table eating breakfast. Michelle asks

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Jesse if he's going to eat the sausage that

0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.479
<v Speaker 1>he is currently bringing right up to his mouth, and

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 1>he pauses and says, no, I was just cooling it

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 1>off for you, and he blows on it and gives

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 1>it to Michelle. Why do you give it to her?

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Eve Been like, yep, you know what I mean, man,

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.800
<v Speaker 1>she can she needs, she can give a guilt trip

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 1>just with her eyes like she is just you know,

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.640
<v Speaker 1>it's I guess she's moved on to savory foods though

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not like a pancake or something.

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:18.520
<v Speaker 3>She's going for the sauce.

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:20.440
<v Speaker 1>She said, so much cake. She's like, give me some protein,

0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Jesse. She's like, give me some Yeah, yeah, I'll

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:26.120
<v Speaker 1>take something, So she's a varied diet here. So meanwhile,

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Danny asks Stephanie why she's not ready for school. Stephanie

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.080
<v Speaker 1>has a big problem. She can't decide what to wear.

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 1>She says, do I go post preppy chic or neo

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 1>retro grunge? And she holds up the different How.

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I remember saying neo retro grunge because I think I

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 2>screwed it up a couple of times because it's a

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of retro like front of the mouth, sort of

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of complication. I kept saying like neo retro mom,

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 2>like it just did it come out right? But I

0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:55.240
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh my god.

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.159
<v Speaker 1>I remember that line, and I was a nice just

0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 1>jogged a memory of a complix Yeah yeah, mumbling something up.

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Danny remembers when he started junior high, he wore his

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 1>father's shirts and his brother's pants. Jesse suggested it might

0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 1>be time to give them back to them, which was

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:18.359
<v Speaker 1>a great comeback. Danny thinks steph will look cool no

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.400
<v Speaker 1>matter what she wears, but she disagrees. It's been two

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.359
<v Speaker 1>weeks of junior high. She doesn't know anyone, and no

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 1>one knows her. Her homeroom teacher calls her girl in

0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the back who grinds her teeth.

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that was pressy, but I was like, really stuff,

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 2>She's pretty solid. Seemed like the kind that can Yeah,

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 2>she doesn't seem like the kind of person that would

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:43.080
<v Speaker 2>have or be able to make them.

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this kind of should have been a week. But

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 1>it's also but middle school is that like?

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.400
<v Speaker 2>And and she does say, like, all my friends went

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the redistrict tea.

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the shock everybody. I remember that to you.

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Everybody gets split up and goes to different schools, and

0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's very discombobulating. Yes, so Danny reassures her

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that with time she'll make new friends. But Steph isn't

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 1>so sure. I hate redistricting. Why did I get stuck

0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 1>at DiMaggio which I don't know anybody? I mean, remember

0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>there's van Adda Junior High which is named after our

0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:20.200
<v Speaker 1>producer Don Vanada. Did we have a producer named Demago

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:21.919
<v Speaker 1>or is this just a Joe Demagh?

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 2>They're going, yeah, all right, yeah, I don't know if

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 2>he was from San Francisco.

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm not good at the sports or

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the writer. Bob sand maybe just really liked that really player.

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. All of her friends have scattered around

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>town with all three Jennifers at different schools and mill

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Michelle suggests, maybe you'll meet a new Jennifer.

0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 2>It was the early nineties. Chances are there were fifteen

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 2>of them.

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 1>That was legitimately such a popular name in.

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 3>The nut Jennifer, Stephanie, Rachel.

0:22:55.800 --> 0:23:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Rachel's so true, but stuff thinks that they just

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:05.399
<v Speaker 1>don't understand. Junior High is about clicks, jocks with jocks,

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:09.440
<v Speaker 1>brains with brains, and that leaves two hall monitors and

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Lester Herbeck, the six year old genius who plays the harp.

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 3>This was the probably owns a tech company in San Francis.

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Accuracy of this, accuracy of this description is just so perfect.

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Just and Danny encourage her to just be cool, not

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:31.240
<v Speaker 1>push so hard, and don't let them smell your fear. Yeah,

0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:34.919
<v Speaker 1>Michelle agrees, wear a lot of perfume. Stephanie leaves to

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 1>get ready for school and says, I'll send you a

0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 1>postcard from dorkvilm. Next, we are in the bathroom at

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:49.240
<v Speaker 1>DiMaggio Junior High. Oh my gosh. Set. This set was

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:53.119
<v Speaker 1>great with like the little graffiti on the walls and

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the toilet paper.

0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I could smell the school bathroom of it, know, the

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 2>mustiness smell of like must erin because it's an old room,

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:10.120
<v Speaker 2>and and like bleak and some sort of industrial cleaner and.

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Like and and and.

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Uh, spit ball stuck to this. That's exactly it. It's

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:18.360
<v Speaker 1>like there's never any like proper air ventilation in these

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>bathroom It's like there's.

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Never a window, no, no, And I literally can I

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:25.400
<v Speaker 2>can smell that smell right now. And I don't even

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 2>know what to describe it as other than a middle

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:28.959
<v Speaker 2>like a like a school.

0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Like the water kind of smells like sulfur. It's

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:35.680
<v Speaker 1>just like this. Yeah, it's awful. So Stephanie's in the

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>bathroom trying to dry her hands, but there are no

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:42.120
<v Speaker 1>paper towels. She tries the hand dryer and that is broken,

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:45.159
<v Speaker 1>so she pulls out a roll of toilet paper to

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:46.120
<v Speaker 1>dry her hands.

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:50.800
<v Speaker 5>Terrible the toilet paper to dry, especially not at a school.

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 2>And it's gonna it's made out of out of baby's breath, you.

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Know what I mean, Like it would be if your

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 1>hands are wet. It's just gonna descend it. It's so ineffective.

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.440
<v Speaker 1>And the Yeah, Steph, wipe.

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:06.479
<v Speaker 3>Your hands on your pants, call it a day. The

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 3>way that you're wearing black jeans, you're gonna be all right.

0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 1>The way that you're like getting caught up at the

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 1>physical comedy here, where you're like spinning around and getting

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.119
<v Speaker 1>caught up and your feet are caught it's just like

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:24.359
<v Speaker 1>ohack peak junior high. I love Steph. Oh so Mickey,

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.320
<v Speaker 1>an older girl, enters the bathroom and says, you're in

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:31.520
<v Speaker 1>sixth grade, right? And uh it says Michelle answers, But

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie answers, how can you tell? Can you smell my fear?

0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 1>And Mickey replies, no, your books are covered. Mickey shows

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie the trick to make the hand dryer work. You

0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>have to twist it like a combination lock and then

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 1>pound it and it starts working. Mickey takes Stephanie under

0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 1>her wing and decides to show her around school. All right, Okay,

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I like this Mickey girl. She's you know, she's got

0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:57.880
<v Speaker 1>a little lemon edge to her, but.

0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:02.240
<v Speaker 2>She's been this nice little beginning of Steph's like Steph.

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:05.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, Steph has a little fun. She she goes

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:06.400
<v Speaker 2>for not the goodie too.

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 1>You've been waiting since Harry Takayama for a good friend

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:11.360
<v Speaker 1>and like it is overdue.

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry, Mickey's going to disappear in like two episodes. Wow, yeah, yeah,

0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Steph doesn't.

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:19.119
<v Speaker 1>We could do a whole like psychological analyzation of of

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Steph and her friendships, but that's okay. Next we move

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:27.199
<v Speaker 1>on to the radio station where the Rush Our Renegades

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:32.399
<v Speaker 1>are doing a new teen call in advice segment. Jesse

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and Joey bring in DJ Steve and Kimmy to help

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>answer some calls.

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:40.520
<v Speaker 3>The only teens in San Francis Yes.

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Jesse and Joey are arguing over what to name this

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:52.280
<v Speaker 1>segment teen talk or yakin with youth? Which camp are

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 1>you in? Team te talk? Yeah, teen talk? This is clear,

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:57.880
<v Speaker 1>this is clear, Thank you. I just want to jaction

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:02.400
<v Speaker 1>with Yaking means either like there's the goat type animal yak,

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:06.520
<v Speaker 1>or it means vomit zack. I mean, it can't mean

0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:07.639
<v Speaker 1>talking as well.

0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:10.800
<v Speaker 3>But backing means there's too what it means.

0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 1>There's too many meanings. And when I think of yak,

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I think of a sound you make when you've got

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 1>like a hairball caught in the back of your throat.

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't make that noise, but I now will

0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 2>think of you every time someone thank you.

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 1>So yep, so Joey thinks that Jesse gets to name everything,

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:35.240
<v Speaker 1>including Nikki and Alex. Steve, however, is very excited to

0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:37.399
<v Speaker 1>be on the radio. He asks if he should do

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:41.639
<v Speaker 1>a Darth Vader voice, Luke, I am your father, and

0:27:41.640 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 1>then he starts breathing into the microphone, but DJ thinks

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:50.879
<v Speaker 1>his regular voice is much sexier. Jesse and Joey continue

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 1>arguing over the name, improvising theme songs that will go

0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 1>with each of their choices. Finally, they get their first caller, Randy.

0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Randy asks about paying a friend to do his homework.

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:09.000
<v Speaker 1>DJ advises him do your own homework, and then there's

0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:11.639
<v Speaker 1>this funny exchange where Kimmy's like, what friend are you

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 1>talking about? Right? Right? Love it well. Jesse and Joey

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 1>step outside to argue about the name of the show.

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>The kids are scrambling to fill a dead air and

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Steve decides to go back to his Darth Vader voice.

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:28.680
<v Speaker 1>It's a wonder of these two have gotten fired.

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:32.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they seem to screw around on the radio more.

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Than they get thinks, I know how they got this job.

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I kept this job. Like they are just screwing things

0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:39.920
<v Speaker 1>up all the time. The teens are now running the show.

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's they got bigger problems than what to

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:47.800
<v Speaker 1>name this segment. Next, we're in the kitchen. Aaron is

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 1>visiting Michelle. He is hungry, and he hopes that they

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 1>have better snacks today than that healthy junk they had yesterday.

0:28:56.280 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Danny asks, how's it going. Michelle thinks he probably are

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 1>he knows. Danny promises it won't be forever. They're just

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 1>watching Aaron until his regular babysitter stops twitching. I would

0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 1>have said, no, just sits out a boundary, do you

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean?

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:13.880
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Not available? Sorry I can't.

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:19.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. There's already nineteen people that live in my house.

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 2>It's we can't fit in one.

0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:24.479
<v Speaker 1>That's a legitimate excuse. Actually, you know, Petitas, he is

0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 1>no room. So Aaron is scouring for food. He finds

0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:32.560
<v Speaker 1>no ding dongs, no nutter butters or ho hose in

0:29:32.640 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the fridge, and he says, what a joke. None of

0:29:36.360 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 1>those are going the fridge. That's true, that's a good point.

0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 1>So pantry f.

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Ding dong cookies hose maybe a ding dong because they're like,

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:47.800
<v Speaker 2>but no, it drives them out.

0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's true.

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 3>That's Aaron you're looking's got a lot of.

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Problems, and ho hose ain't one of them. So Danny

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:59.760
<v Speaker 1>offers raisins, But Aaron is allergic to raisins. Are you okay?

0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it was just a ridiculous statement that triggered things

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 3>in my head.

0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So Danny offers raisins and Eric says he's allergic

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:12.320
<v Speaker 1>to raisins. They make his lips blow up and then

0:30:12.320 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 1>he can't talk. So Danny announces raisins.

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:19.040
<v Speaker 3>It is sneaking in a cookie.

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Stephan Mickey then walk into the kitchen with Stephanie explaining

0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:26.760
<v Speaker 1>just how cute this boy from school is. I can

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 1>smell his gym socks, his locker is so close.

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh that would be a that would I've smelled middle schoolers.

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 3>That would not be an.

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Attractive that's repel you know, yeah, a sixth grade boys.

0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think some sixth grade girls like jim

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 1>socks smells. But no, look, nobody's but there's a certain

0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a certain smell to the sweat of a prepubescent teen.

0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 1>That is just it can't be replicated in this universe.

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a very distinct special smell yep, where am I?

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:05.760
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeh. Danny's thrilled, and he starts talking about how exciting

0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:12.720
<v Speaker 1>this occasion is and that any friend of Stephanie's is

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:16.080
<v Speaker 1>a friend of his. Stephanie stops him, and he says,

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I can see that my time is up. He asks

0:31:19.080 --> 0:31:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Mickey if he can get her anything, and she responds,

0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>how about a note to get me out of gym tomorrow?

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 1>But she's kidding. She writes her own notes. Danny is

0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 1>growing concerned. Steph explains that Mickey is in the seventh

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:35.920
<v Speaker 1>grade and showed her how to get free donuts from

0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 1>the teacher's lounge. Danny is now even more concerned. Michelle

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:45.240
<v Speaker 1>invites the girls upstairs to play. Stephanie loudly responds, Michelle,

0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 1>we're in junior high. Give me a break. Michelle leans

0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:52.720
<v Speaker 1>in and loudly enough for Mickey to hear, says to Aaron,

0:31:53.200 --> 0:31:54.840
<v Speaker 1>yesterday no one would even talk.

0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:59.040
<v Speaker 2>To her, just because you get all the friends. Michelle

0:31:59.160 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 2>settled down. You get seven friends that come over all

0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 2>the time, the regular yep, yeah, I'm on the rag.

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let me have my friends.

0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:09.840
<v Speaker 1>It's always a younger sibling that's saying the exact thing

0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't want your friend to hear. Like that is

0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:17.680
<v Speaker 1>always classic real sibling. So Stephanie invites Mickey to dinner,

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.720
<v Speaker 1>but she has to leave because it's her turn to

0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 1>make dinner for herself and Janet. Danny asks, oh, your sister,

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and she replies, no, my mother, and she leaves. Once

0:32:29.400 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Mickey is gone, Danny asks Stephanie about Mickey calling her

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 1>mom by her first name. Yeah, isn't she cooled? Danny.

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie responds, but she can see the look on her

0:32:40.600 --> 0:32:45.320
<v Speaker 1>dad's face and she quickly adds, Dad, did you ever

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:47.280
<v Speaker 1>call I mean, we called Janice Janis now, but did

0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 1>you ever call your mom Janie? I don't think I

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:51.320
<v Speaker 1>ever called my mom Sherry like ever.

0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Only if I was trying to get her attention somewhere

0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 2>and she wasn't paying, you know what I mean, And

0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:56.800
<v Speaker 2>it was like that was the only thing, was like, yeah,

0:32:56.840 --> 0:32:59.959
<v Speaker 2>that's true, especially now and it's now it's Janice Sweeten

0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 2>because it's a full name, you know what I mean,

0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:02.959
<v Speaker 2>And it's a very specific thing.

0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't call her that to her face. Mom,

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 3>you know mom?

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, No. I always told my mom mom unless yeah.

0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:12.080
<v Speaker 1>We were in a crowded place with lots of other kids,

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:14.680
<v Speaker 1>saying mom, Mom, right, So then you got a differentiate.

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Mama was reserved strictly for times when I wanted to.

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, mama, Mama, what the moms know the mom's no.

0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie's dad thinks that Mickey might have a bit of

0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 1>an edge, and Stephanie says, edge, you make her sound

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:33.880
<v Speaker 1>like a criminal, but Danny says, no, no, I don't

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:37.680
<v Speaker 1>think that. Stephanie is getting bummed. She says, I finally

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 1>find a friend, and you hate her. Danny promises he

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:44.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't hate her, he just doesn't really know her. Steph

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>accuses Danny of judging her new friend and storms right

0:33:47.920 --> 0:33:52.320
<v Speaker 1>up the stairs. Poor step and she's like, I don't

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 1>know if this friend is only good. You never like anybody? Yea, yep,

0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 1>relatable and I do I feel bad for stuff too.

0:33:58.200 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 1>She finally gets a friend, She just wants the friend

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to Danny like, just because you're a square doesn't mean

0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:06.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody else is. See exactly this is he has a

0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:07.760
<v Speaker 1>right to be concerned, but just this is not the

0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:09.960
<v Speaker 1>time to express it. Like, give it some time, Give

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:10.840

<v Speaker 1>she likes the shade, and Stephanie says, sure, I use

0:35:31.920 --> 0:35:34.440

<v Speaker 1>if it's sharp, and they both laugh. Good recovery stuff.

0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Then a new group of girls walk into the bathroom.

0:35:52.320 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Mickey introduces Stephanie to Kelly, Gia, and Lisa, the guys

0:35:57.400 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 1>as she calls them. Stephanie laughs, you don't look like

0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:05.279
<v Speaker 1>guys to me, and the guys think that Stephanie is

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a nerd. She's actually kind of. I mean she's nervous.

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:13.200
<v Speaker 1>She's nervous. I just want to get a little baby

0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Steph a hug and be like, don't tell jokes it.

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Ease into it, Steph. He's into it. So Kelly thinks

0:36:20.160 --> 0:36:22.680
<v Speaker 1>that mister Lucas is a babe and did they see

0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:23.560
<v Speaker 1>that odd.

0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Of his that line?

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why that made me Weirdly, there's a

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:30.640
<v Speaker 1>couple of moments where yeah, I was like, I think

0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:33.440
<v Speaker 1>it's normal for the girls this age. That's true to

0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:38.920
<v Speaker 1>have a little crush rush male professors. But like, I

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:40.600
<v Speaker 1>guess now, it's just one of those jokes that you'd

0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:42.000
<v Speaker 1>be like, I don't know that, we won't we're going

0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:42.320
<v Speaker 1>to make that.

0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just although I guess it would be

0:36:44.960 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 2>weirder if he were making it about Joe.

0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:50.320
<v Speaker 1>This is true. This is a very, very true. So

0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:53.279
<v Speaker 1>Mickey agrees that he's the reason for the first time

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 1>she has stayed awake during algebra works. Then the girls

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:03.279
<v Speaker 1>pull out a pack of cigarettes and start smoking one.

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:08.920
<v Speaker 1>They offer Stephanie a cigarette. She declines. She's clearly uncomfortable.

0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:12.800
<v Speaker 1>She says she's trying to quit. Kelly, I think we

0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:13.680
<v Speaker 1>got the names rocking.

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:16.800
<v Speaker 3>The names are like you mean, Michelle.

0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the girls are either than offer Michelle one. Now

0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:21.239
<v Speaker 2>that's a scene I'd like to see. Yes, I would

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 2>have loved to have seen.

0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Michelle, you got it, dude, Just light one up.

0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:27.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe that maybe that's what was missing from

0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Michelle's life. Yeah, Okay, So the girls are offering cigarettes

0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to Stephanie. She declines, and then Gia says that sixth

0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:39.560
<v Speaker 1>graders are terminally pathetic. God, I remember her saying that

0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I was stuck in my brain, Yes, terminally, terminally like that. Yeah,

0:37:45.000 --> 0:37:49.879
<v Speaker 1>she's just delivers that line in such a great specific way. Yeah.

0:37:50.280 --> 0:37:52.400
<v Speaker 1>The bell rings and Stephanie says, oh, we better get

0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:55.279
<v Speaker 1>to class, and then Kelly, Ga and Lisa tease her

0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:58.720
<v Speaker 1>for oh, we've got to get to class. Guys. Mickey

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:01.359
<v Speaker 1>admonishes that hey, she's a good kid, they should give

0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:03.840
<v Speaker 1>her a break. But Gia is not having it, and

0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:06.440
<v Speaker 1>she tells Mickey that she can go be a good

0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:11.000
<v Speaker 1>kid with her. Mickey's torn, but she ultimately decides to

0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:15.400
<v Speaker 1>stay with the guys and lights up her cigarettes. As

0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie is leaving the bathroom, one of the girls says,

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:22.200
<v Speaker 1>where did you find that? Dweb, and Stephanie leaves disappointed

0:38:22.560 --> 0:38:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and embarrassed. Poor stuff like that was.

0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Those were clothes cigarettes but oh yeah you and Marla,

0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah they weren't actual cigarettes.

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:36.279
<v Speaker 1>They were close cigarette. Yeah, because me and Marla and uh,

0:38:36.760 --> 0:38:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, Molly, we'd try and figure out how to

0:38:38.239 --> 0:38:40.759
<v Speaker 1>steal them the proper. So do they taste like they

0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:42.960
<v Speaker 1>just taste like clothes and they close taste like yeah

0:38:43.840 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 1>or anything? Or I mean closed cigarettes? You don't.

0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:49.440
<v Speaker 3>You're not really supposed to inhale them.

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:54.319
<v Speaker 5>Deeply, Okay, you just sort of people do, but it's

0:38:54.400 --> 0:38:56.800
<v Speaker 5>really sort of yeah, it's it's for like the taste.

0:38:57.200 --> 0:38:59.799
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like a cigar. It's like a sweet taste. Yeah,

0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:02.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, good to know. Good to know that they

0:39:02.400 --> 0:39:06.120
<v Speaker 1>weren't giving the child actors real cigarettes. Thank you for clarifying. No,

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:10.560
<v Speaker 1>just other things that you know aren't probably great for you.

0:39:10.640 --> 0:39:11.200
<v Speaker 1>We all got now.

0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:14.680
<v Speaker 3>At least it wasn't you.

0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 1>God, that would have been Yeah, that was gross. Next

0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:21.799
<v Speaker 1>we are in Michelle and Stephanie's bedroom. Michelle and Aaron

0:39:21.840 --> 0:39:24.759
<v Speaker 1>are playing cards at the table and they invite Stephanie

0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to join in. Steph reveals that her life has come

0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to this playing with kids, and she sits down at

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the table with the kids. Michelle asks where her new

0:39:34.520 --> 0:39:37.880
<v Speaker 1>friends are, and when Stephanie says she doesn't know Michelle,

0:39:37.960 --> 0:39:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Michelle says she knows exactly where her friends are. Denise

0:39:41.160 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 1>is at home, Derek is at dance class, Russell is

0:39:44.040 --> 0:39:47.440
<v Speaker 1>at Hebrew class, and stephan rupts her at Michelle, just

0:39:47.560 --> 0:39:49.959
<v Speaker 1>deal deal the cards seriously again?

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:54.320
<v Speaker 3>You have friends, oh, just a plethora of friends.

0:39:54.480 --> 0:39:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Michelle asks her to hold her breath and pick

0:39:58.600 --> 0:40:01.719
<v Speaker 1>three cards. When Sephanie rejects the ideas and says, what,

0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Michelle says, you breathed, Now you have to sing Happy

0:40:04.480 --> 0:40:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Birthday to the king. Steph is like, what are you

0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:10.799
<v Speaker 1>talking about? This isn't even a real game, and Aaron says,

0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:13.719
<v Speaker 1>so what this is the way we play and he

0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:17.479
<v Speaker 1>goes on and he says, uh. Stephanie says to Michelle, fine,

0:40:17.520 --> 0:40:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I capture your queen, and Aaron says, you can't do that.

0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 1>That's cheating. Michelle agrees that's cheating, but Steph thinks, so

0:40:23.800 --> 0:40:27.160
<v Speaker 1>she can't cheat. There are no rules to this game exactly,

0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:32.160
<v Speaker 1>there's no rules and even today, yeah, there's a little

0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:37.200
<v Speaker 1>fores shadowing here. Michelle and Aaron brate her with cheater, cheater,

0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 1>while Steph sings stupid, stupid. Danny finally comes into the room.

0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:45.280
<v Speaker 1>He has to break up the arguing guys the airport

0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:48.280
<v Speaker 1>just joined to complain that the noise is too loud.

0:40:49.280 --> 0:40:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Steph is all wound up. Michelle invented this stupid game

0:40:52.760 --> 0:40:56.279
<v Speaker 1>with no rules. Danny asks why she's playing the game

0:40:56.360 --> 0:40:58.879
<v Speaker 1>if she thinks it's stupid, and then he wonders about

0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:02.200
<v Speaker 1>her new friends. Steph is annoyed that he's prying into

0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:05.759
<v Speaker 1>her personal life, but Danny reminds her that he's the

0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:09.840
<v Speaker 1>dad and prying is part of his job description. Stephanie

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:12.520
<v Speaker 1>reports that she is done playing with six year olds.

0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Next in the kitchen, she is now playing with toddlers,

0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:22.400
<v Speaker 1>which was a great smash cut, great smash cut. We

0:41:22.440 --> 0:41:25.040
<v Speaker 1>see Stephanie and Nikki and Alex coloring at the table.

0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie tells the boys to stay inside the lines, but

0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the boys, of course, are not so great at staying

0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:33.800
<v Speaker 1>inside the lines, but at least they can stay within

0:41:34.080 --> 0:41:39.200
<v Speaker 1>the page. Stephanie picks up a white crayola and pretends

0:41:39.440 --> 0:41:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to start smoking it, and she asks the toddlers what

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:46.640
<v Speaker 1>they think. One twin responds bad Stephie, and the other

0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:52.840
<v Speaker 1>says it's yucky, and Stephanie responds, preschoolers are terminally pathetic.

0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Becky walks in the door and Stephanie immediately drops her

0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 1>cran cigarette. And this is my all time favorite part

0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:04.319
<v Speaker 1>of the entire episode. Stephanie waves the invisible smoke out

0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the air. It's just classic, classic move.

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:12.640
<v Speaker 5>That was good.

0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:17.520
<v Speaker 1>That was very good. So Becky thanks Stephanie for helping

0:42:18.080 --> 0:42:21.160
<v Speaker 1>watching the kids. Steph offers to watch them every day.

0:42:22.080 --> 0:42:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Becky wonders allowed if Stephanie would rather hang out with

0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:28.239
<v Speaker 1>her new friends from school, but Steph doesn't want to

0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:31.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about her new friends or school. Becky tries to

0:42:31.880 --> 0:42:35.839
<v Speaker 1>assure Steph. She remembers junior high, it can be pretty tough.

0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Steph is relieved to hear this. It was tough for

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:42.040
<v Speaker 1>you too, and Becky answers, oh, sure, I remember coming

0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:44.960
<v Speaker 1>home crying when I came in second for Winter Princess

0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:51.839
<v Speaker 1>stephan stop with Becky. Everyone's problem, Bey with the good hair,

0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:52.719
<v Speaker 1>stop it you.

0:42:53.000 --> 0:42:55.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is not helping.

0:42:56.600 --> 0:42:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Step is annoyed that Becky cried over that, but Becky

0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:02.480
<v Speaker 1>goes on, I had to ride on a tiny float

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:06.680
<v Speaker 1>with only one snowflake attendant and then Becky find it

0:43:06.840 --> 0:43:10.399
<v Speaker 1>over it. She finally realizes catches on. Okay, so that's

0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:14.000
<v Speaker 1>not a great example. But Becky reminds Steph that she's

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:18.279
<v Speaker 1>always there for her, and Steph says thanks. At the

0:43:18.320 --> 0:43:21.120
<v Speaker 1>same time, Nicki and Alex say thank you, Mama, and

0:43:21.200 --> 0:43:24.239
<v Speaker 1>she turns around to see them eating cookies on top

0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:27.880
<v Speaker 1>of the table. One of the twins sweetly offers Becky

0:43:28.120 --> 0:43:40.440
<v Speaker 1>an animal cracker. Back at the radio station. It's a

0:43:40.520 --> 0:43:42.680
<v Speaker 1>new day, or at least we're all in new costumes,

0:43:43.320 --> 0:43:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and Jesse and Joey are acting like a couple of babies,

0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:50.640
<v Speaker 1>according to DJ. Jesse agrees that they are. It doesn't

0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:54.759
<v Speaker 1>matter what they call the show anyways. Joey agrees, and

0:43:54.840 --> 0:43:57.040
<v Speaker 1>so Jesse says, great, Yacking with Youth it is, and

0:43:57.120 --> 0:44:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Joey Argustine Talk and they start going back to bickering.

0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Steve suggests that it would be easy to settle this,

0:44:03.880 --> 0:44:05.840
<v Speaker 1>and Kimmy agrees, do what we do at the Gibler

0:44:05.960 --> 0:44:09.719
<v Speaker 1>House with masks, tights and a steel death caage, just

0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:14.839
<v Speaker 1>like a you know. Steve thinks that's interesting, but how

0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:18.279
<v Speaker 1>about an even simpler solution, a vote between the five

0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:21.160
<v Speaker 1>of them. Jesse agrees this is a good idea, and

0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:24.440
<v Speaker 1>also that Steve's hair is very nice. So Kimmy and

0:44:24.520 --> 0:44:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Jesse vote for Yacking with Youth, and Jesse thinks kimberly

0:44:29.160 --> 0:44:32.080
<v Speaker 1>saying that he's always liked her from day one. Steve

0:44:32.160 --> 0:44:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and Joey vote for teen Talk, and Joey thinks Steven

0:44:36.160 --> 0:44:40.120
<v Speaker 1>making it a two two tie. DJ is the tiebreaker,

0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:43.680
<v Speaker 1>and she thinks both titles are lame. There's no time

0:44:43.719 --> 0:44:45.600
<v Speaker 1>to clear this up now, though, because they are back

0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:50.799
<v Speaker 1>from commercial. They take a call from a caller identifying

0:44:50.840 --> 0:44:55.040
<v Speaker 1>herself as Olga, a foreign exchange student, asking for advice.

0:44:55.719 --> 0:44:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Olga says that she has new friends that want her

0:44:58.760 --> 0:45:02.880
<v Speaker 1>to smoke cigarette. Olga, as we quickly figure out, is

0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:06.960
<v Speaker 1>actually Stephanie doing a fake accent from where.

0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:10.520
<v Speaker 2>We're not sure it could be. It's could be Russian.

0:45:10.760 --> 0:45:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Olga sounds like a Swedish. It's somewhere in the general uh,

0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:19.959
<v Speaker 2>northern towards the Arctic circle. I'm thinking, I'm thinking Olga

0:45:20.080 --> 0:45:20.640
<v Speaker 2>might be Russian.

0:45:20.719 --> 0:45:21.920
<v Speaker 1>She sounds little Russian.

0:45:22.040 --> 0:45:24.440
<v Speaker 3>It's just in which case she's probably been smoking.

0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:31.040
<v Speaker 1>It's probably Yeah. Anyway, Olga is not American, as Americans says.

0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:34.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not America. It's just somewhere other than here, somewhere

0:45:34.160 --> 0:45:38.040
<v Speaker 1>other than that. Yeah, I mean very specific in my

0:45:38.400 --> 0:45:42.440
<v Speaker 1>in my accent work. So Joey, Jesse and the teenagers

0:45:42.600 --> 0:45:46.320
<v Speaker 1>all chime in with anti smoking advice, and they approve

0:45:46.400 --> 0:45:50.799
<v Speaker 1>of her saying no to cigarettes. But Olga is torn.

0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:54.800
<v Speaker 1>She wants these girls to like her. DJ pipees in

0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:57.080
<v Speaker 1>that if you have to smoke to be their friends,

0:45:57.480 --> 0:46:02.200
<v Speaker 1>they're not real friends exactly. Kimmy agrees, a true friend

0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:03.959
<v Speaker 1>likes you for who you are and how much money

0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:04.200
<v Speaker 1>you have.

0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Now we see what Ken is always at the Tanners.

0:46:08.960 --> 0:46:10.920
<v Speaker 1>You know they approve they can do all of these

0:46:10.960 --> 0:46:15.280
<v Speaker 1>renovations on the kitchen wall and base you have. Kyle's

0:46:15.280 --> 0:46:19.960
<v Speaker 1>a cash. Steve says, kissing a girl who smokes is

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:22.680
<v Speaker 1>like kissing an ashtray. And DJ would like to know

0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:26.600
<v Speaker 1>what ashtray he's been kissing lately, and Steve replies, well, actually,

0:46:26.680 --> 0:46:29.840
<v Speaker 1>my aunt Ethel. She smokes so much. Her Dalmatian is

0:46:29.880 --> 0:46:34.239
<v Speaker 1>all black. Joey warns Olga that she'll sound like Yosemite

0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Sam with a cactus caught in your throat if she smokes,

0:46:38.280 --> 0:46:41.839
<v Speaker 1>and he does the sound. Jesse encourages her to stick

0:46:41.880 --> 0:46:44.239
<v Speaker 1>to her guns. Smoking is not cool, and that's that.

0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:48.239
<v Speaker 1>That's the advice. They go back to the music and

0:46:48.360 --> 0:46:50.879
<v Speaker 1>DJ reminds them that it's not important what the show

0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:54.800
<v Speaker 1>is called. What's important is that they helped someone out today.

0:46:56.000 --> 0:46:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Joey and Jesse agree that they're fighting was ridiculous, but

0:46:59.640 --> 0:47:03.359
<v Speaker 1>then the competition continues. After the show Jesse says he'll

0:47:03.440 --> 0:47:06.399
<v Speaker 1>take them for pizza, and Joey responds that he'll take

0:47:06.480 --> 0:47:09.200
<v Speaker 1>them bowling, and Jesse says he'll take them for ice

0:47:09.280 --> 0:47:13.120
<v Speaker 1>cream after bowling, and after that Joey will take them shopping.

0:47:15.000 --> 0:47:18.879
<v Speaker 1>These two just can't quit with their competitiveness, right, Yeah,

0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:23.480
<v Speaker 1>can't quit, Steve, gimme and DJ run away from these

0:47:23.760 --> 0:47:28.920
<v Speaker 1>conflicted uncles and uh, yeah, I this was a silly

0:47:29.200 --> 0:47:31.400
<v Speaker 1>b storyline and I still maintain that yaking with you

0:47:31.600 --> 0:47:36.480
<v Speaker 1>with a terrible choice, So yeah's not good. Next, in

0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:39.920
<v Speaker 1>stephan Michelle's bedroom, Danny comes in to check on Steph

0:47:40.000 --> 0:47:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and asks how she's doing. Stephanie is pacing and around

0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:46.920
<v Speaker 1>her room and says easgood in the same accent as Olga.

0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:52.319
<v Speaker 1>Danny realizes what happened. He imitates her accent and says,

0:47:52.480 --> 0:47:55.600
<v Speaker 1>so it was you on the radio. Steph asks you

0:47:55.719 --> 0:47:59.279
<v Speaker 1>heard me, and Danny nods, I'm glad I did. I

0:47:59.320 --> 0:48:01.480
<v Speaker 1>knew something was bothering you, but I didn't know what

0:48:01.600 --> 0:48:05.600
<v Speaker 1>it was. Stephanie confesses Dad, I didn't want to tell

0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:07.719
<v Speaker 1>you about the cigarette thing because I didn't want you

0:48:07.800 --> 0:48:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to be mad at me, and Danny replies, mad at

0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you Steph, I'm proud of you. I know how hard

0:48:14.000 --> 0:48:17.719
<v Speaker 1>it is to go against the crowd. Stephanie asks Danny

0:48:17.760 --> 0:48:20.400
<v Speaker 1>if anyone has ever tried to get him to smoke.

0:48:21.040 --> 0:48:23.960
<v Speaker 1>He says yes, but it never appealed to him. He

0:48:24.040 --> 0:48:26.040
<v Speaker 1>figured if he wanted to fill his lungs with smoke,

0:48:26.080 --> 0:48:29.640
<v Speaker 1>he'd stick his head in the barbecue. Stuff feels better,

0:48:29.719 --> 0:48:33.160
<v Speaker 1>but she's still confused. How can she keep Mickey as

0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a friend. Danny tells Steph to trust her instincts. If

0:48:37.719 --> 0:48:40.759
<v Speaker 1>she likes Mickey, she should be her friend, and if not,

0:48:41.360 --> 0:48:44.760
<v Speaker 1>that's okay too. He wonders if maybe Mickey is feeling

0:48:44.880 --> 0:48:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the same pressure to smoke that Steph is, and she

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:50.440
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't feel strong enough to stand up to it.

0:48:51.719 --> 0:48:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Steph wonders whether she should tell Mickey about her feelings,

0:48:55.160 --> 0:48:57.839
<v Speaker 1>or maybe wait until she comes to her, or better yet,

0:48:57.840 --> 0:48:59.480
<v Speaker 1>finish Junior High by mail.

0:49:00.680 --> 0:49:02.719
<v Speaker 3>Oh stuff, at some point that will be an option.

0:49:03.560 --> 0:49:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Yets it will. Danny tells her to hang in there, because,

0:49:08.120 --> 0:49:13.040
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, it gets easier. Back at the

0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:17.560
<v Speaker 1>DiMaggio Junior High bathroom, Stephanie is brushing her hair in

0:49:17.640 --> 0:49:20.440
<v Speaker 1>front of the mirror when the Gang of girls returns.

0:49:21.239 --> 0:49:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Gia says, so they're letting you go to the bathroom

0:49:24.000 --> 0:49:28.120
<v Speaker 1>all by yourself now, and Stephanie her tarts, Yeah, when

0:49:28.160 --> 0:49:33.520

<v Speaker 1>good stuff, can hold her own. She can talk the

0:49:37.120 --> 0:49:41.080

<v Speaker 1>big mouth got me good. You want to smoke? Oh

0:49:44.280 --> 0:49:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that's right, you quit.

<v Speaker 2>I can hear God. I can hear Mark like I

0:49:48.920 --> 0:49:51.719
<v Speaker 2>can hear it. And this big mouth got.

<v Speaker 1>year old in New York. For a while. Stephanie shares

0:50:07.760 --> 0:50:10.800
<v Speaker 1>that no, no, she's just a big fan of breathing,

0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:15.320
<v Speaker 1>and Mickey bursts into laughter. Geia reacts, what are you

0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:19.080
<v Speaker 1>laughing at? And Mickey says that was funny. If something

0:50:19.200 --> 0:50:22.880
<v Speaker 1>is funny, I laugh. Steph repeats, yeah, if something is funny,

0:50:22.960 --> 0:50:26.440
<v Speaker 1>she laughs. Gia tells Steph to shut up, and then

0:50:26.480 --> 0:50:29.720
<v Speaker 1>she tells the gang sixth graders are a waste of skin.

0:50:30.960 --> 0:50:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie comments back, you should know you were there for

0:50:33.840 --> 0:50:40.200
<v Speaker 1>three years, zi ze zing get on Steffe. Steph yes,

0:50:41.320 --> 0:50:44.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to get her ground back. Gea come corrects her

0:50:44.200 --> 0:50:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it was two so ha, and then she looks at

0:50:47.520 --> 0:50:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Mickey and says, come on, Mickey, walk me to detention.

0:50:52.160 --> 0:50:55.560
<v Speaker 1>This is so well written, like Gia is so well written,

0:50:55.719 --> 0:50:58.640
<v Speaker 1>all all of these details. Walk me to detention. Not

0:50:58.800 --> 0:51:02.560
<v Speaker 1>realizing that I says a lot about Gia, says yeah, exactly.

0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:06.680
<v Speaker 1>The others follow, but Mickey decides to stay back with

0:51:07.200 --> 0:51:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the scrub. Steph starts to leave for class and Mickey

0:51:11.280 --> 0:51:14.640
<v Speaker 1>stops her, asking if she wants to do something after school.

0:51:15.560 --> 0:51:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie tells her that she would love to hang out,

0:51:18.360 --> 0:51:22.120
<v Speaker 1>but she doesn't want to smoke. Mickey says, you know what,

0:51:22.360 --> 0:51:26.320
<v Speaker 1>She's decided to try to cut down. Steph smiles, this

0:51:26.440 --> 0:51:29.840
<v Speaker 1>has turned out great. They walk off to class together,

0:51:30.320 --> 0:51:33.759
<v Speaker 1>back to gossiping about what mister Lucas is wearing. They say,

0:51:33.840 --> 0:51:39.520
<v Speaker 1>he is so cute and that is our shite to do.

0:51:40.760 --> 0:51:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh love A plus. This was a big episode.

0:51:43.880 --> 0:51:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Plus was the introduction of Gia. Steph is starting this wool.

0:51:48.440 --> 0:51:51.840
<v Speaker 1>It was big changes coming, Big change is coming, A

0:51:51.880 --> 0:51:54.880
<v Speaker 1>big episode. I just I loved every part of this episode.

0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I loved casting, I loved the writing. I loved like

0:51:58.840 --> 0:52:00.799
<v Speaker 1>you just hit the hit it out of the park

0:52:00.920 --> 0:52:03.360
<v Speaker 1>with your acting. You could feel that cue angst, like

0:52:03.480 --> 0:52:06.439
<v Speaker 1>that indecision of wanting to fit in but also wanting

0:52:06.480 --> 0:52:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to like stay true to yourself. Like this was just

0:52:09.080 --> 0:52:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a plus plus, no, thank you.

0:52:12.239 --> 0:52:14.520
<v Speaker 2>This was This was a great episode and it's definitely

0:52:14.560 --> 0:52:17.640
<v Speaker 2>one of the ones that I just remember, yeah, because

0:52:18.000 --> 0:52:24.960
<v Speaker 2>I remember Marla and Mollie and you know, I just uh, yeah,

0:52:25.080 --> 0:52:27.160
<v Speaker 2>it's it's funny to go back and like watch these

0:52:27.200 --> 0:52:30.080
<v Speaker 2>And at the time we were like, oh, we felt

0:52:30.160 --> 0:52:31.799
<v Speaker 2>so like mature, you know what I mean, we were

0:52:31.880 --> 0:52:33.160
<v Speaker 2>like getting older.

0:52:33.239 --> 0:52:34.560
<v Speaker 3>And then I look back now and I'm.

0:52:34.440 --> 0:52:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Like, oh, look at the little baby. Oh I know,

0:52:36.560 --> 0:52:38.840
<v Speaker 1>you guys look so young. It's so true you are

0:52:39.080 --> 0:52:41.160
<v Speaker 1>so young, but I'm sure and it felt so grow up.

0:52:41.200 --> 0:52:41.839
<v Speaker 3>But no, this was fun.

0:52:41.880 --> 0:52:44.000
<v Speaker 1>And people always, you know, love this episode. They talk

0:52:44.040 --> 0:52:44.840
<v Speaker 1>about it, they're like, oh, this.

0:52:44.920 --> 0:52:47.320
<v Speaker 5>Was such a great episode. And you know, Steph stood

0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:48.719
<v Speaker 5>up for herself and it made me feel like I

0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:49.200
<v Speaker 5>could too.

0:52:50.120 --> 0:52:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was this was an such a good message,

0:52:52.320 --> 0:52:55.239
<v Speaker 1>such a good message, and uh, I had. I had

0:52:55.280 --> 0:52:59.040
<v Speaker 1>a realization while I was watching this because naturally, you know,

0:52:59.120 --> 0:53:00.719
<v Speaker 1>you think, oh, you know, in what ways do you

0:53:00.800 --> 0:53:04.600
<v Speaker 1>relate to this episode as far as peer pressure or

0:53:04.640 --> 0:53:08.360
<v Speaker 1>anything like that, And I had a realization that I

0:53:08.480 --> 0:53:12.880
<v Speaker 1>actually couldn't relate to this episode and just stick with

0:53:12.960 --> 0:53:15.440
<v Speaker 1>me for a minute where I'm going in that I

0:53:16.719 --> 0:53:19.440
<v Speaker 1>never felt pressured to smell. I was never offered cigarettes,

0:53:19.560 --> 0:53:23.319
<v Speaker 1>I was never offered drugs or alcohol. And that wasn't

0:53:23.400 --> 0:53:26.120
<v Speaker 1>because of some sort of like moral high ground or

0:53:26.280 --> 0:53:28.600
<v Speaker 1>like because I was a good kid. I realized I

0:53:28.719 --> 0:53:31.600
<v Speaker 1>spent the entirety of my junior high and high school

0:53:31.680 --> 0:53:35.480
<v Speaker 1>years on a sound stage, so I wasn't physically in

0:53:35.719 --> 0:53:41.000
<v Speaker 1>situations where that peer pressure would present itself. Because I'm

0:53:41.040 --> 0:53:42.279
<v Speaker 1>just like, what am I missing? Like, Wow, why did

0:53:42.320 --> 0:53:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I miss out on this, like this formative, this formative thing.

0:53:44.800 --> 0:53:47.719
<v Speaker 1>And I'm thinking it's because my career created like this

0:53:47.920 --> 0:53:52.560
<v Speaker 1>protective bubble around me where I was really not faced

0:53:52.600 --> 0:53:56.600
<v Speaker 1>with those types of situations. And so that never occurred

0:53:56.640 --> 0:53:59.640
<v Speaker 1>to me before before this, before watching this episode, and

0:53:59.719 --> 0:54:03.560
<v Speaker 1>that you know, that's not everybody's experience, but because of

0:54:03.600 --> 0:54:05.799
<v Speaker 1>the timing of when I was on the show, from

0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:08.240
<v Speaker 1>from ten to eighteen. I was really protected.

0:54:08.520 --> 0:54:11.399
<v Speaker 2>I think you were so you didn't have to deal

0:54:11.480 --> 0:54:13.480
<v Speaker 2>with kids all the time and be there all day

0:54:13.600 --> 0:54:16.040
<v Speaker 2>or after school or or even Friday nights.

0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:18.680
<v Speaker 1>You were right exactly, No, I was. I was on

0:54:18.760 --> 0:54:21.840
<v Speaker 1>that sound stage, and so I felt I just feel

0:54:22.440 --> 0:54:26.320
<v Speaker 1>very lucky that that I was protected that in that

0:54:26.480 --> 0:54:29.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of way. It was an environmental thing. So yeah,

0:54:29.600 --> 0:54:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to make that acknowledgment that it's not

0:54:32.600 --> 0:54:35.160
<v Speaker 1>always just it's not always like that I took the

0:54:35.280 --> 0:54:38.880
<v Speaker 1>higher ground. It's that I didn't have those same types

0:54:38.920 --> 0:54:41.600
<v Speaker 1>of struggles that other kids have right in high school.

0:54:41.719 --> 0:54:44.640
<v Speaker 1>So I just wanted to acknowledge that. So well, there

0:54:44.680 --> 0:54:48.279
<v Speaker 1>you go. Anyways, it was a light I remember, yeah,

0:54:48.320 --> 0:54:53.080
<v Speaker 1>now I remember, yeah, like being this age and everybody smoking.

0:54:53.239 --> 0:54:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Like acting class.

0:54:54.280 --> 0:54:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I remember Scott Weininger's younger brother, Todd. Oh

0:54:59.560 --> 0:55:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I think I did I tell the story before on

0:55:01.440 --> 0:55:03.360
<v Speaker 2>the show that we so we were all in acting

0:55:03.400 --> 0:55:09.359
<v Speaker 2>class together as me, Todd, Jesse Beale and uh Chris

0:55:09.480 --> 0:55:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Masters said, I don't know, it's a bunch of bunch

0:55:11.080 --> 0:55:14.759
<v Speaker 2>of kids are some roster and and you know the

0:55:14.960 --> 0:55:19.239
<v Speaker 2>next door had like the older kids, like the seventeen

0:55:19.280 --> 0:55:20.960
<v Speaker 2>to twenty you know what I mean. They were in

0:55:21.040 --> 0:55:22.960
<v Speaker 2>the room next door, but we were in the other

0:55:23.120 --> 0:55:26.239
<v Speaker 2>room that was more like the young teens. And so

0:55:26.400 --> 0:55:28.400
<v Speaker 2>of course everyone would try and go out there and

0:55:28.480 --> 0:55:29.799
<v Speaker 2>like bump cigarettes from them.

0:55:29.800 --> 0:55:29.960
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:55:30.120 --> 0:55:33.279
<v Speaker 2>And I and my mom and Scott's mom would go,

0:55:33.800 --> 0:55:36.760
<v Speaker 2>uh to dinner while we were in class.

0:55:37.160 --> 0:55:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Didn't she come back to pick up Todd?

0:55:38.800 --> 0:55:41.000
<v Speaker 2>And he went out and was smoking a cigarette and

0:55:41.320 --> 0:55:44.600
<v Speaker 2>totally uh got in trouble because his mom was sitting

0:55:44.680 --> 0:55:45.680
<v Speaker 2>right there in my mom's car.

0:55:45.800 --> 0:55:49.360
<v Speaker 1>And oh, my gosh, oh things like that that you know,

0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:52.480
<v Speaker 1>you just these are like they are they're the big

0:55:53.400 --> 0:55:57.719
<v Speaker 1>stupid moments of middle school. And yeah, I think I

0:55:57.800 --> 0:56:01.320
<v Speaker 1>think it's very very relatable to most kids of just

0:56:01.600 --> 0:56:05.080
<v Speaker 1>feeling that that pressure of just you know, you want

0:56:05.120 --> 0:56:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to fit in, but you something's holding you back and

0:56:08.520 --> 0:56:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you can't. You don't even have the words articulated at

0:56:10.719 --> 0:56:11.880
<v Speaker 1>that age, right, you know.

0:56:12.360 --> 0:56:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Right, So, and it's the kind of your first time

0:56:15.200 --> 0:56:19.320
<v Speaker 2>you're like venturing out and really making decisions for yourself,

0:56:19.440 --> 0:56:21.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of on your own, Like you're not a little

0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:24.720
<v Speaker 2>little kid anymore. You're you have a little more freedom

0:56:24.760 --> 0:56:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and autonomy, and so you're like, oh, what what do

0:56:27.080 --> 0:56:27.359
<v Speaker 2>I want?

0:56:27.440 --> 0:56:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're trying to discover who you are? Yea, what

0:56:30.000 --> 0:56:33.640
<v Speaker 1>do I want? Yeah, that's that's it's critical, it's it's
