Speaker 1: We have a whole bunch of live shows scheduled for
Speaker 1: this summer.
Speaker 2: Podmeats World Live is going on the road.
Speaker 1: So, writer, what we've been in discussion, how are we
Speaker 1: gonna do this?
Speaker 2: Are we going?
Speaker 1: Are the three of us going on the road together?
Speaker 1: What does that mean for our families? Writer, you have
Speaker 1: talked many times about how as India is getting older,
Speaker 1: it's made you realize, like, now that he's eight, you
Speaker 1: have ten more summers of actual like time vacations with him,
Speaker 1: and so what have you decided to do this summer
Speaker 1: with your time.
Speaker 3: We're gonna road trip it. We're gonna We're gonna van
Speaker 3: life it. Yeah, we've done multiple road trips.
Speaker 4: Like during COVID and twenty twenty we did a big
Speaker 4: camping you know, we were just kind of on our
Speaker 4: own and our own little bubble.
Speaker 3: We literally brought like a portable toilet with us, so
Speaker 3: we never went to a public bath.
Speaker 4: And we did that for like three weeks and it
Speaker 4: was just such a bonding, great experience. And then after
Speaker 4: like in twenty twenty one, when everyone was vaccinated and
Speaker 4: feeling safer, we decided to drive around the country and
Speaker 4: see all of our friends that we hadn't seen.
Speaker 3: Because of COVID. So we like did this epic three
Speaker 3: or four week road trip.
Speaker 4: And then so this summer was coming up, and I
Speaker 4: really want to take into rafting because I grew up
Speaker 4: whitewater rafting all the time.
Speaker 3: Amazing, and so we wanted to go.
Speaker 4: We do our normal camping trip, We go up to
Speaker 4: my parents, we go camping, and then we were going.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, and then we'll just go right
Speaker 4: into a rafting trip. And then we were looking at
Speaker 4: the dates based on our live shows and we were like, well,
Speaker 4: then we'd be driving all the way back to La
Speaker 4: like right when we have to, I'd have to turn
Speaker 4: around and jump on a plane to Minneapolis.
Speaker 3: I was like, why not just keep driving?
Speaker 4: And then we kept adding up the dates between conventions
Speaker 4: and live shows.
Speaker 3: We're just gonna be on the road for over six weeks.
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, and so and Indy could not be more excited,
Speaker 4: which I just love because I loved road trips as
Speaker 4: a kid.
Speaker 3: I love the trips as an adult.
Speaker 4: You know, we camp and we get out and we hike,
Speaker 4: and like we're going to white Water raft so it's
Speaker 4: not like we're like in the car the whole time,
Speaker 4: but just exploring the country. And I'm just so glad
Speaker 4: that he likes it. Like he always sees he'll be like, Dad,
Speaker 4: I missed the month long road trip when we took
Speaker 4: our road trip two years ago. He still talks about it,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, all right, let's do it again.
Speaker 5: So if I am on the road for six weeks,
Speaker 5: I am running from the law.
Speaker 6: That's why I've been.
Speaker 3: In a car to be home.
Speaker 6: Of course, of course I am running from my wife
Speaker 6: and I This is one of the things that makes
Speaker 6: a great partnership.
Speaker 5: And it's the same thing that you have Danielle, and
Speaker 5: the same thing that you have with Alex riders.
Speaker 6: How you travel together makes a huge difference.
Speaker 5: So when it comes to your partnership, and Sue and
Speaker 5: I on almost exactly the same day at exactly the
Speaker 5: same time, no matter where we are in the world,
Speaker 5: we'll look at each other and go, I want to
Speaker 5: go home.
Speaker 7: That's about ten or twelve days into a trip, or like,
Speaker 7: I want to go home now.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 5: So that's what makes a great partnership, when you're just
Speaker 5: you travel the same together.
Speaker 4: It's important and I think Alex and I would just
Speaker 4: keep going I don't think we unless we have to
Speaker 4: come home.
Speaker 3: There's a man keep going.
Speaker 1: So getting back to our live shows, we are doing
Speaker 1: costume contests. Oh I can't in every city. I feel
Speaker 1: like you guys just both took a sip of your coffee.
Speaker 1: Now I need to take a take a sip. So
Speaker 1: what costumes are you hoping to see?
Speaker 6: I was just going to ask the same thing.
Speaker 5: What do you think is going to be the most
Speaker 5: obscure Boy meets World character costume you're going to see?
Speaker 6: Because I'm guessing we'll get a lot of feenies, a
Speaker 6: lot of place with squirrels. Yeah, a lot of Topanga
Speaker 6: Topango with the with the lipstick on the.
Speaker 3: Face to Panga's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've seen the Dusty war. Actually, yeah, I want
Speaker 2: to see it. Dusty.
Speaker 6: Dusty would be great. Dusty would be great.
Speaker 4: Janitor Bud, I want to see.
Speaker 3: You guys are great outfit?
Speaker 2: What about a lobster?
Speaker 6: See that's what I mean? Like it's good?
Speaker 5: What are we going to get a Nancy Kerrigan? Are
Speaker 5: we going to get a model from the mall? Are
Speaker 5: we going to get a Kathy Ireland?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 1: How obscure are people going to What about Ryder's friend
Speaker 1: who invented the word strafty bright?
Speaker 3: Is that ocean so obscure? No one knows what ocean
Speaker 3: looks like.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. They just come up and say right now, okay.
Speaker 3: Lock and curly hair tied.
Speaker 4: I shirt Nike, black Nike shorts, no shoes every day.
Speaker 6: Every day you think a kid named ocean like.
Speaker 4: Shirt, different tid ice shirt, black Nike shorts. Never wore
Speaker 4: shoes he grew up on. He grew up on like
Speaker 4: fifty acres. Never work shoes.
Speaker 3: He could run on gravel like his feet were.
Speaker 4: So thick because he just never wore shoes. So yeah,
Speaker 4: every day that's what he wore.
Speaker 2: So that's pretty easy. I like that one.
Speaker 4: So can you even talked about on the show that
Speaker 4: that people send us strafty bright in ultiple situations on
Speaker 4: Boy Meet's World.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's on the board.
Speaker 4: I wrote it on the board during the season one
Speaker 4: season one, and so you can see it clearly behind Ben.
Speaker 4: And then I wrote it on my notebook apparently a number.
Speaker 1: Yeah, episode, you really made a valiant effort to get
Speaker 1: that word.
Speaker 4: Yes, But what it was so weird about seeing like
Speaker 4: when people sent us those those it was like it
Speaker 4: was like it was like coded messages I had sent
Speaker 4: through time to myself.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: It was like, oh my god, I took these opportunities
Speaker 4: to write strafty right into the show, like sneak it
Speaker 4: in there, and like I totally forgot so to be
Speaker 4: able to see it now as an adult, it was
Speaker 4: just the weirdest travel. Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 5: I also just got for everybody going back to the
Speaker 5: costume contest, a forty pound box delivered to my house
Speaker 5: of my scripts from back in my childhood bedroom. And
Speaker 5: I'm talking scripts with like remember they used to have
Speaker 5: the stickers with our names on it, Like a bunch
Speaker 5: of them still have Wilford al on them. These were
Speaker 5: like original table read draft delivered to my apartment.
Speaker 6: Scripts that are there. I have the breakdowns of the
Speaker 6: blocking sheets. Wo.
Speaker 5: I have our cast and cruise sheets with all the
Speaker 5: phone numbers on my I have our bump like the
Speaker 5: TGIF bump sheets.
Speaker 6: I've got all of that stuff.
Speaker 1: Well those are prizes, yeah, for who wears the best costume.
Speaker 2: We will decide.
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about our criteria or the judging process.
Speaker 2: We still have to. We still have to discuss all
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 1: But one of you lucky people will be walking out
Speaker 1: of our live show every single night with an autographed
Speaker 1: script from Will Stash that we will all sign for
Speaker 1: the best costume.
Speaker 6: I'm also there'll be a cushling. That'd be great. Oh wow, ay,
Speaker 6: Jody sweet and cush and that'd be a great cost the
Speaker 6: ripped pants that she's Peter Soman.
Speaker 5: I'm also I can tell you going to be having
Speaker 5: lunch with a couple cast members of Boy Meets World
Speaker 5: coming up.
Speaker 6: I won't say who, but a couple coming up.
Speaker 2: So I are not included in this.
Speaker 6: You are not.
Speaker 3: Allowed I invited to lunch.
Speaker 2: I guess we're not.
Speaker 6: We're we're having a real cast reunion, got it, okay?
Speaker 5: And maybe I'll bring some scripts and have some of
Speaker 5: them sign it as well, so we can have some
Speaker 5: cool stuff there.
Speaker 3: People.
Speaker 5: But no, neither of you are invited. I keep up
Speaker 5: with everybody, you know how that is. And we don't
Speaker 5: like you, and so you're not going to be coming.
Speaker 5: That's just how it is.
Speaker 6: But I'll tell you all about lunch. It's going to
Speaker 6: be great.
Speaker 1: Oh can't wait to hear about it. I hope you
Speaker 1: I hope you get some bib let us what I do.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Pod Meets World. I'm Danielle Fischel, I'm writer Strong,
Speaker 1: and I'm Wilfordell. So today we are recapping season two
Speaker 1: episode twenty three Home, which is the season two finale.
Speaker 1: It originally aired May nineteenth, nineteen ninety five. Any thoughts
Speaker 1: you guys want to share before we jump into this episode? Wow,
Speaker 1: I love this episode.
Speaker 3: You love it.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: It's it's good. I it's very dramatic.
Speaker 6: It's very dramatic and very dramatic.
Speaker 3: I am very dramatic.
Speaker 6: You are very dramatic.
Speaker 4: And I guess the interesting thing that the overall thought
Speaker 4: to me is that it's it's it's strange how much
Speaker 4: the show shifts into Sean storyline, like into like Sean's
Speaker 4: world by the end of season two, like a two parter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this episode and the one right before it feel
Speaker 1: like a two parter.
Speaker 6: It also feels like we haven't seen Corey in a while.
Speaker 4: Now, that's what I mean to end of the season,
Speaker 4: sort of moving away from Corey.
Speaker 3: This much feels it's it's it's a bold move.
Speaker 4: It's a really interesting that I didn't I don't think
Speaker 4: I recognized that as how unusual that was, or maybe
Speaker 4: it wasn't unusual.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just the natural evolution of the show.
Speaker 4: But watching it this time, I was like, Wow, Corey
Speaker 4: is really like Sean is just Sean's storyline?
Speaker 3: Is then the major thrust of the season ender, which
Speaker 3: is just a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I wonder how much of that is because
Speaker 1: as we've discussed with multiple episodes that we've seen lately,
Speaker 1: like I really loved the Thriller and Philla episode.
Speaker 2: I think I was.
Speaker 1: You know, Will did too, writer, you were not a fan.
Speaker 1: So I think it seems as though, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: the storylines of Corey being in every Man and I'm
Speaker 1: never making my mark and how do I make myself different,
Speaker 1: we've reached a point where we've exhausted those storylines. We
Speaker 1: have done the very normal storyline of that, which is
Speaker 1: like the very relatable who am I? I'm not gorgeous,
Speaker 1: I'm not super smart, I'm just normal.
Speaker 2: We've done those episodes, and.
Speaker 1: Then we've done you know, crazy over the top episodes
Speaker 1: where Corey's a wrestler and it's pro wrestling.
Speaker 2: And we've get Yes, Me and Bleef and Robert Goula.
Speaker 2: It's like, we've exhausted those.
Speaker 1: Now we need some real stakes and how do we
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 2: Let's do it through Sean and I.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's dramatic, but I love it. It feels way
Speaker 1: more interesting to me, you know, Like it makes Alan
Speaker 1: and Amy parents again, and obviously mister Turner a teacher
Speaker 1: slash parent again.
Speaker 4: It brings up all the tensions that the show sort
Speaker 4: of started with, which is like, how do you raise
Speaker 4: kids and you be a kid in the world, and
Speaker 4: like it reignites all of the same.
Speaker 3: It brings back the characters to their sort of core
Speaker 3: and their essency.
Speaker 4: It stresses them out right, Like he stresses the situation
Speaker 4: out in the best possible way so that everybody has
Speaker 4: to sort of get back to who they really are.
Speaker 3: It's it's great storytelling. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It also we've clearly set up now through two seasons,
Speaker 1: no matter what happens to Corey, he's not going to
Speaker 1: quote unquote fail. There is a safe There are safety
Speaker 1: nets after safety nets after safety net. He's got his
Speaker 1: parents who were super invo He's got a brother who,
Speaker 1: even though his brother needles him and jokes at him,
Speaker 1: is always there for him and will you know, jump
Speaker 1: over a hallway, you know, ledge to protect him if
Speaker 1: he needs to. He's got Foenie watching out for him,
Speaker 1: he's got Turner on his side. Like he's got Sean,
Speaker 1: a best friend who says, no matter what, you're Corey
Speaker 1: and I'm Sean.
Speaker 6: So like he's got a girl.
Speaker 2: There's like Corey's fine, Corey's fine.
Speaker 1: We have two seasons of setting up that Corey's life
Speaker 1: is gonna be fine on his own anxiety exactly if
Speaker 1: he can get out of his own way, he'll be golden.
Speaker 1: And but what we've also set up is that his
Speaker 1: very best friend is not necessarily going to be fine.
Speaker 1: And so opening up the next few seasons of let's
Speaker 1: see how this very stable Rock character can influence this
Speaker 1: very unstable, not protected is us find it. It's fascinating
Speaker 1: and way more interesting than continuing to see how secure
Speaker 1: Corey's life is.
Speaker 5: It's also it's just it's television too, where it's you know,
Speaker 5: you're coming into season two, you're hoping there's going to
Speaker 5: be a season three. The only way a television show
Speaker 5: has legs is if every character is developed. Yes, So
Speaker 5: it's one of those things where you know, after a
Speaker 5: while watching Family Ties and it was like, well, we
Speaker 5: let's get into Justine Bateman's character.
Speaker 6: We need to know what the sister's like. We need
Speaker 6: to know.
Speaker 5: You see it on The Office, you see it on
Speaker 5: those shows where it's like, okay, if we're going to
Speaker 5: actually be one of those shows that lasts.
Speaker 6: Everybody's got a matter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's and it's that's kind of where we
Speaker 5: are now. And it's I agree with Danielle hundred percent
Speaker 5: seeing there's something which again makes the idea that he
Speaker 5: then was off the show so crazy. But seeing you
Speaker 5: and Tony together, there's something about the two of you
Speaker 5: together that's great. And it's just it's him trying the
Speaker 5: way they've now made it where you know he needs
Speaker 5: we'll get into it. He needs something in his life
Speaker 5: and it's it. You think it's gonna be a woman,
Speaker 5: but it turns out to not be that. It's just
Speaker 5: it was really clever the way.
Speaker 3: That Tony is such a dramatic actor.
Speaker 4: He's so clearly remarkable because he clearly wasn't cast for
Speaker 4: that right and he's cast, but he just rises to
Speaker 4: being such a He's just he's a rock. You know,
Speaker 4: like you just believe you want him to be this
Speaker 4: father figure so bad, and he's so believable. He's so
Speaker 4: present and he doesn't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a there was a movie of the
Speaker 5: Week that Tony did before he did Boy, and when
Speaker 5: we were friends, he was like, he showed it to
Speaker 5: me as a joke. He was like, you got to
Speaker 5: see his movie the week I did?
Speaker 6: It was both And.
Speaker 5: The last kind of scene, they're all he and his
Speaker 5: family are at a funeral and they're all sitting there
Speaker 5: and they pan past the family and it is one
Speaker 5: stereotypical grief after grief, and it's kind of a bad,
Speaker 5: cheesy acting, and you get to Tony, who's dead behind
Speaker 5: the eyes and tears streaming down his face, and you're like.
Speaker 6: That was this is amazing.
Speaker 5: You're amazing at that he just could hit these beats
Speaker 5: that we didn't see.
Speaker 3: He's not false at all.
Speaker 6: He's so he's so real, it's so present, it's easy.
Speaker 3: Great.
Speaker 1: Did you and Tony really work on developing? Like was
Speaker 1: that something you did? There are no external conversations about.
Speaker 3: That's what I don't remember. I just remember us.
Speaker 4: I loved working with him. But it's so funny I
Speaker 4: don't remember talking about acting. I don't remember talking about
Speaker 4: our performances. I don't remember, Like I mean, there are times,
Speaker 4: you know, and they can think of where I like
Speaker 4: worked out things with people.
Speaker 3: But I feel like it was all instinct.
Speaker 4: Like I feel like we just because I didn't really
Speaker 4: I didn't know how to act. I just sort of
Speaker 4: showed up and did it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And I think that we just worked together. We just
Speaker 4: have We just had this chemistry and it came alive.
Speaker 4: I mean I felt that not so much in this episode,
Speaker 4: but in the previous episode when I go to his
Speaker 4: apartment and end up eating the food and falling to sleep, Like,
Speaker 4: I just loved that scene. It was, you know, and
Speaker 4: I'm watching it, I was like, wow, I don't I
Speaker 4: don't remember this, but I just I just thought that
Speaker 4: the dynamic was Yeah, but no, I don't. We just
Speaker 4: had chemistry. We just had actor chemistry, you know, like whatever, Now,
Speaker 4: how lucky.
Speaker 5: We are as because what you just said is so true.
Speaker 5: I didn't know how to act either. You kind of
Speaker 5: just go and do it and then you learn on
Speaker 5: your feet.
Speaker 6: A little bit. You know, how lucky we were.
Speaker 5: To have the adult actors we did around us doing
Speaker 5: what they did, Rusty and Bill and Betsy and Tony.
Speaker 5: I mean, we were only as good as those people
Speaker 5: we were watching and who were helping us along without
Speaker 5: even knowing they were helping us along. And man where
Speaker 5: we were and again we didn't, we didn't recognize it
Speaker 5: while we were there.
Speaker 6: We just it was so beneficial to have those actors
Speaker 6: with us.
Speaker 5: And that's a credit to Michael and to Sally and
Speaker 5: everybody who cast everybody who brought I mean, Alex and
Speaker 5: all the adults they brought in were just so good
Speaker 5: that we upped our game to be next to them.
Speaker 4: So we just took it for granted, right, We honestly
Speaker 4: don't think it was like I didn't think like, oh,
Speaker 4: it's remarkable that this thirty year old dude can act
Speaker 4: this well.
Speaker 3: It was just like, well, he's mister Turner and he's
Speaker 3: a good actor and he does actor. I would never
Speaker 3: have said Tony was bad.
Speaker 4: I always knew he was good, but I don't think
Speaker 4: I recognized what he was bringing to you know, this, this,
Speaker 4: these scenes, these characters, characters.
Speaker 6: It's incredible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, Well, let's jump in the synopsis. Is when
Speaker 1: Sean starts to feel like a burden to the Matthews.
Speaker 1: He sneaks out, only to find himself on mister Turner's
Speaker 1: doorstep yet again, and Eric tries to master the SATs
Speaker 1: by working for mister Feenie. So once again, this is
Speaker 1: like our first real serialized Ye we went from career
Speaker 1: day writing.
Speaker 3: Storyline is serialized, you know That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they've turned Eric into Corey. So this is
Speaker 5: the start of really Eric and Feenie. I mean it's
Speaker 5: the same storyline where.
Speaker 6: You're gonna you're gonna work around the house.
Speaker 5: I mean that's such a first season Cory storyline.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, and they've given it to Eric. They've completely
Speaker 6: given it to Eric, so so strange. Well.
Speaker 1: It was directed by David Traynor, written by Jeff Sherman,
Speaker 1: guest starring Jason Marsden as Jason Marsden, Blake Clark as
Speaker 1: Chet Hunter. Darlene Vogel is back as Catherine Kat Tompkins.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: She is in a lot of episodes, yes, right, and.
Speaker 4: Has like a major story point in this. It's not
Speaker 4: just of Toss, it's life changing drama.
Speaker 3: And the two of them. Yeah, and she's great.
Speaker 1: If she's fantastic, and no recollection, no recollection at all.
Speaker 6: I thought she did one or two.
Speaker 5: Maybe I remember her because of her eye and because
Speaker 5: of Back to the Future.
Speaker 6: That's all that I remember, so that she was this.
Speaker 3: Her, just her and Tony pretty much.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ivory Ocean as Policeman. He's best known for his
Speaker 1: role as Mayor Tilton in The Mask.
Speaker 6: There's something else with him we will talk about when
Speaker 6: we get to that scene. If I am correct, and
Speaker 6: I think.
Speaker 2: I am, I can't wait. Okay.
Speaker 1: Also worth noting this will be the final episode with
Speaker 1: Lily nick Say as Morgan Matthews.
Speaker 5: That's definite right, that's definite right that she she does
Speaker 5: season three, comes back and she's.
Speaker 2: Gone, right, yeah, I don't you just never gets star.
Speaker 6: Again or to come back again.
Speaker 3: Does she know Lindsey takes over?
Speaker 2: It takes over. I think halfway through season three, which.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that long then. If it really was halfway through
Speaker 3: season three, yeah.
Speaker 2: She would not, she would not have it was.
Speaker 1: It was a significant amount through season three because I
Speaker 1: remember then when they wrote the character in and it
Speaker 1: was like she's been on a time out.
Speaker 3: We made a whole big joke out and she's been.
Speaker 2: Done for a while.
Speaker 1: Also worth noting season four or five, this would have
Speaker 1: also been the infamous tape day of embrace Gate. True,
Speaker 1: so this would have been when Adam Scott.
Speaker 3: Is even in it.
Speaker 6: He's not in this one though. It must have been
Speaker 6: Thriller in Phila.
Speaker 3: It had.
Speaker 6: Why would he Phila?
Speaker 5: It must have been unless we shot him out of order,
Speaker 5: which I don't think we did this season.
Speaker 3: Unless he was just happened to be there for tape
Speaker 3: night in the final season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was probably Thrilla and Phylla, and he thought
Speaker 1: it was him, he did say the finale. But listen,
Speaker 1: so we all have been hugging anyway, because exactly unless
Speaker 1: he knew he wasn't coming back.
Speaker 6: You know, you're also in the star of the show
Speaker 6: at this point, writer, and he was at a guest star.
Speaker 2: How you know what? How dare he?
Speaker 6: Let's get him back? Exactly?
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's pretty great.
Speaker 1: So let's jump into our recap. We start in Corey
Speaker 1: and Eric's room. Corey is banging on the bathroom door
Speaker 1: to get Sean out, who has been living there now
Speaker 1: for three weeks. He spent two and a half of
Speaker 1: those weeks in the bathroom, he says. Eric, who's sitting
Speaker 1: nearby at the desk, says, to keep it down, he's studying.
Speaker 1: Corey shoots him a look and Eric says, well, I am.
Speaker 1: And then Corey says, well, I'm trying to shower here,
Speaker 1: and Eric shoots him a look and Corey says, well,
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 2: And I don't understand these jokes.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 5: So the joke is essentially I'm studying and Corey's like,
Speaker 5: you're studying.
Speaker 6: I am.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm taking a shower. You're taking a shower like stinky.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and Eric doesn't usually study.
Speaker 5: Right, So okay, it's out of the norm for both
Speaker 5: of them, the norm for Corey to shower and out
Speaker 5: of the norm for Eric to study.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, I started I would do that in just
Speaker 2: a real I am.
Speaker 6: Working to sell this dialogue because but it is. It's
Speaker 6: I am, I am.
Speaker 5: They left to hang very big in the in the
Speaker 5: in the first part of this, just like trying to
Speaker 5: hit these beats.
Speaker 6: I get better as the episode goes on.
Speaker 2: But I think you're great.
Speaker 3: I'm working.
Speaker 6: I'm working. I don't think I'm bad.
Speaker 5: I definitely don't think I'm bad, but it's it's better
Speaker 5: as it goes on.
Speaker 1: It's the opening of this show for those to be
Speaker 1: like the hook them jokes.
Speaker 2: I am not sure we could.
Speaker 6: We could have used the rewrite, could use a little
Speaker 6: punch up.
Speaker 4: The best joke is is my shaving crew completely with you?
Speaker 6: And started.
Speaker 3: The door with that.
Speaker 1: Sean opens the door and reveals he is shaving his face.
Speaker 1: Facial hair runs in the family, especially on his mom's side.
Speaker 1: You've got shaving cream just a little bit right here
Speaker 1: in between your eyebrows, which made me die laughing. So
Speaker 1: Eric is prepping for his SATs and still panicking. And
Speaker 1: here's where we see that we have a running storyline
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 2: Eric is working out a problem. Nihilism is to optimism
Speaker 2: as gluttony is too, And he says, butte Montana, did
Speaker 2: you guys figure out what the answer should be?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: I wasn't.
Speaker 1: No, nihilism is to optimism as gluttony is to starvation.
Speaker 2: That's what I said first. That's what I said first.
Speaker 1: But because you can be gluttonous about anything, it doesn't
Speaker 1: just have to be food.
Speaker 5: Really well, nihilism is nihilism is the belief in nothingness
Speaker 5: and optimism is being positive.
Speaker 6: So it is a little oppositey pessimism exactly. That's what
Speaker 6: that's where it's They love.
Speaker 4: Nihilis because they used that in the last episode to
Speaker 4: go to each their go to s a T work.
Speaker 5: I think I think what they're going for is something
Speaker 5: like starvation.
Speaker 1: Or I said moderation. Moderation is to moderation.
Speaker 2: So anyway, I.
Speaker 1: I then googled it. You want to know what comes
Speaker 1: up just our show? There is no answer.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 1: So Eric, who is mind blocked and can't even remember
Speaker 1: what college is until Corey reminds him, starts looking for
Speaker 1: his lucky pencil.
Speaker 2: Who you call Pency Pency?
Speaker 4: All right, somebody shows up at our shows dressed as Pency.
Speaker 1: Great great costume, a chewed pencil. Oh, I love it
Speaker 1: it just.
Speaker 2: And his names is Pensy and he can't find it.
Speaker 2: He is freaking out until Corey finds it.
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm sorry. I just had the theme song to
Speaker 6: the Pency cartoon that just went through my head.
Speaker 4: Pancy Pency, It's Me and you Pency favorite number two.
Speaker 6: No, I just made that up, but it just seems
Speaker 6: like that would be the Oh my Goshency.
Speaker 2: It all right, let's get on that record that.
Speaker 1: Let's record that please Wills Will's new theme song for
Speaker 1: the animated show he just created on the spot.
Speaker 6: It's me That's how it would be.
Speaker 1: So Sean comes out of the bathroom cleaning his ears
Speaker 1: with Eric's lucky towel Towley a south Park reference.
Speaker 6: South Park, Now, thank you. I don't think they've one
Speaker 6: of the things I wrote down. There's one of those
Speaker 6: in this episode.
Speaker 5: Two major shows taking from us in this episode.
Speaker 1: We were Towey first, we created Seinfeld South Park Friends.
Speaker 5: It's a Seinfeld one next to that. I'm going to
Speaker 5: talk to you about.
Speaker 4: So but you know, totally would have been like when
Speaker 4: we were because that was right around the time that
Speaker 4: we did the Halloween episode.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Cowy's just the towel that just keeps getting stoned
Speaker 6: on South Park.
Speaker 4: You guys want to get season five or six of.
Speaker 6: So think so yeah, I think so so Yeah, it's
Speaker 6: just wow, Okay, yeah, I think I think we beat
Speaker 6: south Park.
Speaker 1: With Tally, but we'll say unbelievable. So Eric starts to
Speaker 1: give him ground rules about living in their house, but
Speaker 1: Corey steps in to say it's only temporary and they've
Speaker 1: been doing pretty darn well. Eric, who wants some peace
Speaker 1: and quiet, goes into the bathroom and screams off camera
Speaker 1: as his notebook goes flying, and Sean says, looks like
Speaker 1: he found slippy is lucky, So.
Speaker 6: Slippy love that.
Speaker 4: I know everybody else is slippy would have worked. Yeah, Eric,
Speaker 4: camera getting hurt.
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, I literally wrote same jokes as
Speaker 6: last episode, the same kind. We're still in the Yeah.
Speaker 1: For as much as as much as I love this episode,
Speaker 1: I don't know that we started out super hot, but
Speaker 1: but I love the episode. Okay, So then we're in
Speaker 1: the Matthew's kitchen, Morgan are departing, Lily Nixy is eating
Speaker 1: a loaded ice cream Sunday for breakfast. Alan calls it
Speaker 1: out as not breakfast and she says. Sean says his
Speaker 1: family has Sundays for breakfast all the time. Amy walks
Speaker 1: in and Alan sarcastically explains that Morgan has been getting
Speaker 1: nutritional advice from the Hunters, and Amy starts to complain
Speaker 1: about Sewan, but she stops herself because Morgan is there,
Speaker 1: so she offers Morgan an opportunity to go watch TV
Speaker 1: in the next room, but Morgan doesn't want to, so
Speaker 1: Alan pays Morgan a dollar to go to the living
Speaker 1: room and now alone, Amy and Alan talk about how
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks and that maybe we pay
Speaker 1: her a dollar get her out.
Speaker 5: Of there, than here's a buck, thanks for getting out
Speaker 5: of I thought Rusty was going to do something that
Speaker 5: I thought. It looked like he was headed that way,
Speaker 5: and I was like, oh, here it comes, here, it comes.
Speaker 6: I thought he was going to start eating her ice
Speaker 6: creel me too.
Speaker 2: Did he never do it.
Speaker 6: I don't think he ever did it. And I thought
Speaker 6: it would be choice because he started with the spoon
Speaker 6: and he has it in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like, oh, he's going to start eating the ice,
Speaker 5: which is a brilliant choice. And then I don't think
Speaker 5: he ever actually put the spoon to his lips so.
Speaker 6: Close it was so cool.
Speaker 1: No, maybe they Maybe maybe he did, and it was
Speaker 1: just one of the things that was lost in editing
Speaker 1: because he was probably eating when we were on coverage
Speaker 1: of Amy, and so it's possible that he did and
Speaker 1: we just lost it because I did. I thought the
Speaker 1: exact same thing while he had the bowl up there.
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, my gosh, he's going to eat it.
Speaker 1: And then I started paying attention to something else and
Speaker 1: forgot all about it.
Speaker 6: Me too, So something shiny uh. So.
Speaker 1: Amy and Alan talk about how the last few weeks
Speaker 1: with Sean has not been easy on their nerves or
Speaker 1: their budget. Alan doesn't blame Sean. He blames Chet, who
Speaker 1: hasn't called or sent a card in three weeks.
Speaker 3: Man, four kids in a house, can you imagine?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And again I'm glad, they said financially too, because that's
Speaker 5: you're adding another kid that's.
Speaker 2: Huge, actually a teenage boy. The way they eat.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they're on a budget. They've already yes, set
Speaker 6: up that they are very much on a budget. You
Speaker 6: throw a third you couldn't you couldn't handle a dog. Gross,
Speaker 6: I mean a fourth kid that's huge. Yeah, that's that's big.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: Amy says she's glad Sean has Eric and Corey to
Speaker 1: make things easier, and then Sean comes down angrily, apologizing
Speaker 1: and yelling to Eric for breathing his lucky air. Sean
Speaker 1: goes to the fridge and drinks right out of the
Speaker 1: milk carton, and he's wearing the same clothes as the
Speaker 1: last time we saw him, so we kind of get
Speaker 1: the sense that, oh, he's wearing the same clothes every day,
Speaker 1: even though didn't Chet say to go get a two
Speaker 1: brush and a shirt, right, So you're not wearing that shirt,
Speaker 1: You're wearing this other one. So Amy marks the carton
Speaker 1: with an S and then opens the fridge to reveal
Speaker 1: all of the other items that have been marked as Sean,
Speaker 1: revealing that you apparently just drink out of all the cartons.
Speaker 2: Amy announces it's a great joke. Joke.
Speaker 6: That's a good joke. Yep.
Speaker 1: Amy announces she had went shopping for Sean. I got
Speaker 1: you some pants and Alan is surprised that she brought
Speaker 1: him clothes and she says, yes, he can't just wear
Speaker 1: the same outfit for three weeks every day, And Alan says,
Speaker 1: I do, which was very funny. Amy asks if Sean
Speaker 1: remembers the jeans with all the holes in them. Sean
Speaker 1: is afraid she threw them out, but she did not.
Speaker 1: She just patched them, and he's mortified. There's an S
Speaker 1: on the butt and a ton of very like cloth
Speaker 1: looking patches. It's so cute that little ass. By the way,
Speaker 1: did you guys have in the nineties a pair of
Speaker 1: holy super worn.
Speaker 2: In jeans that you just loved more than anything.
Speaker 4: Jean shorts that I painted his horse he did, and
Speaker 4: then I wore them all the time, like pay splattered shorts.
Speaker 6: You have shorts, I wear them every day.
Speaker 5: I wear my ripped jeans every single day.
Speaker 2: I remember those, will.
Speaker 3: Remember like big overalls were popular for a moment.
Speaker 1: Yes, so I literally remember your jeans almost as well
Speaker 1: as I remember mine.
Speaker 2: They had that huge.
Speaker 6: Hole in the knee.
Speaker 3: I remember it.
Speaker 1: I think I have a picture of you with Anna
Speaker 1: and Anna's on your lap and you're wearing those jeans. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'll have to find that picture in the world. I
Speaker 1: had a pair two that I love more than anything.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, they're just the greatest. Nothing like that feeling
Speaker 1: of just your super worn in holy jeans.
Speaker 6: Ah.
Speaker 1: Okay, So then she pulls out she got him a
Speaker 1: really yellow hoodie. It looks very Corey esque. And then
Speaker 1: Corey sure enough comes down wearing one.
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, very colors, just so season one.
Speaker 6: Nonchalant about it too. He's like, hey, San Sweacher, it's
Speaker 6: just so cool.
Speaker 2: At the same one.
Speaker 1: And this is where I noticed. So she didn't actually
Speaker 1: buy him any pants.
Speaker 6: No, I think she said, I think mended my pants,
Speaker 6: mended the pants and got a new top.
Speaker 1: But she says, she says, at the beginning, I bought
Speaker 1: you some new pants, and he goes, you bought him clothes,
Speaker 1: and so then she's like, remember those jeans, And I thought, oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna she's replaced them with a new pair of pants.
Speaker 1: But then no, she mended them. And then she pulls
Speaker 1: out a hoodie and I was like, those aren't pants.
Speaker 2: So anyway, just a little interesting things, A little bit
Speaker 2: not a.
Speaker 1: Big deal because maybe there's a pair of pants in
Speaker 1: there she didn't get to yet. Maybe she bought him
Speaker 1: a hoodie and a pair of pants and had his
Speaker 1: jeans mended. But I did just notice that. Okay, then
Speaker 1: we're in the school hallway. Miss Tompkins walks up to
Speaker 1: mister Turner. She calls him Johnny and gives him a
Speaker 1: little little hug and a kiss hello.
Speaker 6: On the cheek in the hallway.
Speaker 2: Is that weird for teaching?
Speaker 3: Kiss in the hallway?
Speaker 6: I was curious. I didn't know if that was weird
Speaker 6: or not. It seemed a little weird.
Speaker 1: I think it seems a little odd for dating dating
Speaker 1: teachers they're not married.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like adult dating, but you can't kiss if.
Speaker 2: You're not married. That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I mean the implication of this episode is that they're
Speaker 4: they're like together together.
Speaker 3: Like you're either moving in or getting married, at least.
Speaker 6: In her mind. At least in her mind they are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but after they do doing a lot to like
Speaker 3: make it.
Speaker 5: Happen as quickly as We'll get into that later, because
Speaker 5: it seems like it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 1: He hands her a paper bag of something she left
Speaker 1: at his apartment, and he gets nervous about her opening
Speaker 1: it up and opening opening it up in the hallway,
Speaker 1: and she says she left it there on purpose. He
Speaker 1: said he'd only be nervous if he wore them. So
Speaker 1: I think they're Yes, it's a pair of underwear. But
Speaker 1: here's here's my question again. At first I thought this
Speaker 1: toothbrush because they refer to it as an it, and
Speaker 1: I thought we call underwear them, which they made me think,
Speaker 1: why do we call underwear them?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Why are pants plural? Underwear? It's plural?
Speaker 2: Right, Like, why would you legs?
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, because it's got two legs, but like it's
Speaker 1: still all garment.
Speaker 6: Sweet, shirt. Is still it? Yeah, you should still I left.
Speaker 2: It at your house.
Speaker 1: But like I would say I'm gonna put it on,
Speaker 1: you would say I'm gonna put them on, I'm going
Speaker 1: to take them off.
Speaker 3: Underwear A bra would be the only rational explanation.
Speaker 6: It could be.
Speaker 7: It could be you got it in a tiny little bag, though,
Speaker 7: well sure, sure.
Speaker 2: They fold in half and and mold into themselves.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, it's got to be. I thought it was
Speaker 4: underwear too, and I was like, why is this so weird?
Speaker 1: But you're it's okay, Okay, it's a bra, and that's
Speaker 1: why it's in it.
Speaker 2: Okay, like a neglige, like a right, like a hole.
Speaker 3: It's got to be small enough to it's.
Speaker 1: Got to be small enough to which a neglige could
Speaker 1: also fit in a paper bag. But I bet it's
Speaker 1: a bra. I bet it's a bra. And because she
Speaker 1: says I have others, he brings it to her. If
Speaker 1: it's a negligee, he's not thinking, what are you gonna
Speaker 1: you need this? It's definitely a bra. Her point is
Speaker 1: I have others. I don't need this one. I where
Speaker 1: said I.
Speaker 6: Left it on purpose, didn't she? Is it supposed to
Speaker 6: be like a sexy thing.
Speaker 2: Nope, I think it's just a bra that she had there,
Speaker 2: that she left there because.
Speaker 3: She's gonna might.
Speaker 1: Well, it could be a sexy bra. I don't think it's.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's like, you know, something just for
Speaker 1: sexy time. I think it's it may be a sexy bra.
Speaker 2: It's a b. It's a bro.
Speaker 1: I feel very confident that it's a bra. I feel
Speaker 1: like we've worked this out. Thank you for discussing this
Speaker 1: with me. I feel much better. So then mister Feenie
Speaker 1: walks up and he asks what's in the brown bag,
Speaker 1: but then realizes he doesn't want to know. He's thinking
Speaker 1: a change of subject is in order, and then Ms.
Speaker 1: Tompkins walks off. Sean is drinking from the water fountain
Speaker 1: wearing the modified yellow hoodie, the one Amy gave him earlier.
Speaker 1: It's very Sean style. Now it's become a vest. Yes,
Speaker 1: And did you cut the.
Speaker 3: Hood off too? Yep?
Speaker 6: Yeah, cut the.
Speaker 2: Hood off, leaves off and cut it down the middle.
Speaker 3: Also, why am I wearing this?
Speaker 6: Then?
Speaker 4: I have cold out? And if it's cold, and why
Speaker 4: why would Sean put on this a click thing? Even
Speaker 4: if he modified it? It doesn't right, doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't make much sense except for the fact
Speaker 1: that we needed to see that you cut it up
Speaker 1: so that we could have this exchange that comes next.
Speaker 1: Corey walks up and asks if he knows what his
Speaker 1: mom did if she sees this modified hoodie, and he says,
Speaker 1: my guess she would clean it, sew it back up,
Speaker 1: and put an s on it, which I thought was
Speaker 1: a very funny.
Speaker 6: Really funny joke. Yep, really funny joke.
Speaker 2: And Corey says she's just trying to be nice, and
Speaker 2: Sean says he's just trying to get through this without
Speaker 2: making any waves. And I love that.
Speaker 1: I think everything about what just happened in that exchange
Speaker 1: is perfect. Yeah, I fully understand both of their positions.
Speaker 1: I fully understand how tense this is for Sean and
Speaker 1: how difficult this is. And it was just enough for
Speaker 1: mister Turner to overhear for him to understand that something's
Speaker 1: going on. So mister Turner is nearby. He hears it
Speaker 1: and asks how asks Corey how it's going with Sean
Speaker 1: being at his house, and Corey says it's going great.
Speaker 2: Their best friends. Turner offers for Corey to call.
Speaker 1: Him any time if he needs anything. And as Corey leaves,
Speaker 1: Phoeney walks up to mister Turner concerned about him giving
Speaker 1: his phone number to students, and Turner says, give him
Speaker 1: a break. Sean is having a tough time and he's
Speaker 1: his teacher. Phoene reiterates he is only his teacher, and
Speaker 1: Turner says, come on, you're always getting involved with the
Speaker 1: Matthews kids. And right then Eric almost walks into an
Speaker 1: open locker. Feenie yells Eric, right, is the heller Eric
Speaker 1: or easicht locker?
Speaker 3: Eric locker locker?
Speaker 2: Eric locker right?
Speaker 1: And Eric dodges it just in time, and you give
Speaker 1: him the cutest, most perfect thumbs up.
Speaker 6: Thumbs up.
Speaker 2: This again is a perfect scene, perfect scene.
Speaker 1: It is a from beginning to end with what happens
Speaker 1: with Miss Tompkins, to with the exchange that happens between
Speaker 1: Corey and Sean, to then they a.
Speaker 3: Little weird to me, but everything else is good.
Speaker 1: Yes, But here's the thing that the bra thing sets up.
Speaker 1: It sets up again. It reminds the audience from the
Speaker 1: last episode of Career Day. She is thinking of his
Speaker 1: house as an as a second home to her, His
Speaker 1: house is her house, and you, without needing to spell
Speaker 1: it out with a ton of exposition, very quickly understand
Speaker 1: that he's like, you're leaving your things in my house.
Speaker 1: He does not feel as though his space is her space.
Speaker 1: So I couldn't think of a better way to explain
Speaker 1: that dynamic without having it to be one too much exposition. Which, yeah,
Speaker 1: so anyway, I think it's I think it's just a
Speaker 1: perfect scene.
Speaker 3: It's really well.
Speaker 5: It's actually really well directed and blocked too, because there's
Speaker 5: a lot going on. There's a you know, characters coming in,
Speaker 5: characters coming out, go moving this way. And she also
Speaker 5: noticed when she exited, she exited towards camera. Yep, so
Speaker 5: she also made it where Okay, there is more to
Speaker 5: this home school this way, more.
Speaker 6: School this way.
Speaker 5: So all the little beats in this scene really made
Speaker 5: it feel very full. So yeah, I like, I liked
Speaker 5: it quite a bit.
Speaker 1: So Eric bring a Poeney, brings home a speech to
Speaker 1: Turner about keeping boundaries, and then wham, Eric runs into
Speaker 1: a different locker, and then we're back in the Matthew's kitchen.
Speaker 1: Eric is pacing nervously waiting for Jason to finish grading
Speaker 1: his practice SAT exam.
Speaker 2: Jason says Eric got a one hundred.
Speaker 1: And ninety on the practice SATs. Eric says, that's impossible.
Speaker 1: You get two hundred dollars just for spelling your name right.
Speaker 1: Two undred points dollars. I know, seriously, I'm such a capitalist.
Speaker 6: Sixteen dollars dollars.
Speaker 1: You get two hundred points for just spelling your name right.
Speaker 1: Eric then notices he spelled his last name wrong.
Speaker 2: There's two Teas and Mathews.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is this is Eric becoming what
Speaker 3: he's going to be.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he's studying all it's all about studying, which
Speaker 5: is strange. It's kind of a bizarre combination of what
Speaker 5: he was and what he's becoming. Yeah, so it's it's fun,
Speaker 5: it's a it's an interesting hybrid of the of the
Speaker 5: two Erics as it were. Yeah, to kind of see
Speaker 5: the evolution as interesting. And again I say this every time.
Speaker 5: Marsden a bunch of episodes.
Speaker 3: I mean, Jay was the last episode.
Speaker 6: I think maybe I don't know, Yeah, I think it
Speaker 6: seemed like there was a shit, we haven't seen season
Speaker 6: three yet, and we legitimately haven't seen season.
Speaker 5: Three yet, but it seems like there's going to be
Speaker 5: a shift. Yeah, so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I think.
Speaker 3: This was his last one.
Speaker 1: So Jason says, Eric needs to sleep, his brain needs
Speaker 1: a break right now. He wouldn't even get into Clown College,
Speaker 1: and Eric asks, is that a four year school four
Speaker 1: years ago?
Speaker 6: That's a really good school too.
Speaker 5: Clown College, Yeah, it is is hard, really hard to
Speaker 5: get in. It was it Pendulette was like one of
Speaker 5: their top students, and there's some great people that have
Speaker 5: come out of Clon College.
Speaker 1: So Eric says he needs more oxygen and he grabs
Speaker 1: Jason to run outside. Jason asks if Eric's house has
Speaker 1: ever been tested for raidon, and Eric panics at the
Speaker 1: thought of another test. Jason leaves just as mister Feeney
Speaker 1: enters the backyard carrying some mulch.
Speaker 2: He asks, SATs this weekend? Eric?
Speaker 1: And Eric says, yeah me, which I thought, that's very cute,
Speaker 1: very funny, easy, And.
Speaker 6: Then there was a really weird cut. Did you see this?
Speaker 5: So it was like, all of a sudden, we're in
Speaker 5: the scene and it's very natural, and then there's this
Speaker 5: bizarre cut where they must have lost a line or
Speaker 5: two because then all of a sudden I'm like, I'm
Speaker 5: not ready, and it was like whoa, whoa, Where the
Speaker 5: hell did that come from? It was like they lost something.
Speaker 5: It was really weird.
Speaker 6: So if you go back and watch it, it was it
Speaker 6: was just a bizarre cut. It was a weird cut.
Speaker 2: Yeah, huh, weird.
Speaker 1: Well, mister Phoene tells Eric all students feel anxiety around
Speaker 1: their college exams, but there's no way around him.
Speaker 2: They're very important. Eric says he's not ready, and Phoene
Speaker 2: says he promised to never tell.
Speaker 1: Any students this, but he knows secrets that would unravel
Speaker 1: the entire college screening process as a whole. Eric wants
Speaker 1: to know these secrets. Phoene says he can for a price,
Speaker 1: and Eric thinks he's being sly and wants some money.
Speaker 1: So he takes out his wall and says he he
Speaker 1: sled dog that dog, which I think is really cute.
Speaker 1: And I'm dying to know how much money does Eric
Speaker 1: have in his wallet?
Speaker 2: What does he think? What is he going to offer
Speaker 2: Phoene for these We.
Speaker 5: Needed that five bucks from Cory back in the day. Also,
Speaker 5: I'd like to point out we are now at the
Speaker 5: end of season two and there has not been a
Speaker 5: single Phoenie call. Yeah, so there's no there's not even
Speaker 5: the start of a Phoenie call yet, Right, you didn't
Speaker 5: start doing it, so I guess I guess not.
Speaker 3: It's yea.
Speaker 6: I think maybe maybe I thought it had had its
Speaker 6: genesis started way back.
Speaker 5: I thought there was at least one scene where it
Speaker 5: was the regular mister Foene from the dip from the
Speaker 5: fence line.
Speaker 6: But there's been nothing yet, So I was amazing a
Speaker 6: little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, Phoene scoff set the money idea and says he's Aira,
Speaker 1: says that he's doing some landscaping around the house and
Speaker 1: if Eric will help him, he will tell him the secrets.
Speaker 2: It's a deal.
Speaker 1: They shake hands, and then we're in Corey and Eric's room.
Speaker 1: Corey is sleeping and he wakes up to find Sean
Speaker 1: looking out the window at a dog. It's a stray
Speaker 1: dog that Sean is clearly connecting with.
Speaker 3: Is it a metaphor?
Speaker 6: Guy?
Speaker 2: Why do you think? Do you think this is a
Speaker 2: little heavy.
Speaker 1: Hand, just a little bit, But you know, again, this
Speaker 1: is a nineties six directed as children, even though it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be for everyone.
Speaker 2: If you're trying to spell out to a younger generation.
Speaker 3: One feels like a lonely dog and how and because.
Speaker 1: You also want to say, how could he possibly find
Speaker 1: anything good in what we've presented. His house has been
Speaker 1: taken from him, he doesn't have clothes, he doesn't have
Speaker 1: his bed.
Speaker 2: But also we have to say why why Sean misses it?
Speaker 1: It's what he's used to. There's a freedom in it.
Speaker 1: He doesn't feel constrained by it. He's been so used
Speaker 1: to living on his own terms that he likes that.
Speaker 1: And so we need the audience to understand what is
Speaker 1: drawing Sean to pursue that again, as opposed to it
Speaker 1: just being like, well, why is this?
Speaker 2: Why is he crazy?
Speaker 1: Anyone would want the life Corey has, but that isn't
Speaker 1: necessarily true. So this is a this It maybe feel
Speaker 1: heavy handed to us as grown adults, but if you
Speaker 1: are a ten or eleven year old.
Speaker 3: Right, you have to rationalize why Sean would want to run?
Speaker 1: Why would Sean? Why would Sean hate it so much
Speaker 1: inside this house? And why would he feel constrained? And
Speaker 1: what is he missing from his safe?
Speaker 6: But it's very real.
Speaker 5: I know this is a strange analogy, but when I
Speaker 5: went to go do boy. I was sixteen or seventeen,
Speaker 5: and I was living at the oak Wood. I was,
Speaker 5: you know, had a guardian, but was living by.
Speaker 2: Myself, smoking three pads a day.
Speaker 6: Was smoking three packs a day. I had this great
Speaker 6: freedom in my life.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And then the show rapped for the first season and
Speaker 5: I went back and lived with my parents again, who
Speaker 5: are the greatest people in the world.
Speaker 6: But I was like, ah, rules again, like I'm I'm back.
Speaker 3: It's way.
Speaker 5: I had my own apartment, I was wash I was
Speaker 5: cooking for myself. And then all of a sudden, that
Speaker 5: was on a Thursday and on Friday, I had a
Speaker 5: curfew again.
Speaker 2: Right, and now you have one saying to you Otter
Speaker 2: Pops for breakfast.
Speaker 6: Exactly what the hell are you doing? And it did
Speaker 6: and it was like, oh my, that's right.
Speaker 5: The structure in life is back again, and there is
Speaker 5: kind of Man, I love you guys so much, but
Speaker 5: I've got to ask you got to go.
Speaker 6: I went to Amsterdam, So I did what any seventeen
Speaker 6: year old does.
Speaker 2: You go to Amsterdam, Yeah, and you decide to move there,
Speaker 2: so it makes sense.
Speaker 6: It did make sense. Yeah, Can I ask a quick
Speaker 6: question about the timing because.
Speaker 5: The parents later say nine pm, nine pm, and Corey
Speaker 5: says nine pm is their curfew, but Corey's already asleep.
Speaker 1: Because Corey is smart and eight thirty pm is the
Speaker 1: best bedtime at fourteen, at fourteen, so I was.
Speaker 6: Wonderings like, oh, he he's asleep at eight forty five.
Speaker 6: I know it's weird.
Speaker 2: I know it is weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it needed to be nine pm.
Speaker 1: I don't know why later they didn't say ten pm
Speaker 1: because or since he.
Speaker 6: Left last night, that's all you needed to say. You
Speaker 6: didn't need to specifically say nine.
Speaker 5: I figured it was like Corey wakes up, it's one
Speaker 5: o'clock in the morning, and Sean is staring out the window,
Speaker 5: but it wasn't it was nine.
Speaker 1: Well, they needed to set up that mister Turner was
Speaker 1: still awake having this conversation with Kat Tompkins, so they
Speaker 1: needed to be late enough for someone to say, why
Speaker 1: is Sean out and about?
Speaker 2: But not why is mister Turner still up?
Speaker 1: But that's why I think ten o'clock would have worked,
Speaker 1: because if your curfew is nine pm, you probably are
Speaker 1: at least staying awake until nine pm watching something on TV,
Speaker 1: especially when.
Speaker 2: Your best friend is living with you.
Speaker 6: Yes, of course you're with your best friend.
Speaker 1: The only thing to me and I do understand why
Speaker 1: later they did want to say a time because it's
Speaker 1: helped set up the fact that Corey goes, do you
Speaker 1: guys just know everything that happens, like they knew to
Speaker 1: the moment what he left. So anyway, I just think
Speaker 1: ten is the perfect compromise. Thought a lot about it.
Speaker 1: I think ten PM could have been better. Let's invent
Speaker 1: the time machine, go back, make this little tiny tweak it.
Speaker 1: So Corey says the dog is barking because he needs
Speaker 1: a home, and Sean says the dog doesn't need a
Speaker 1: home because he's happy and free. He doesn't need to
Speaker 1: follow any rules, and Corey says, I don't know. To me,
Speaker 1: the dog looks lonely, cold and like he doesn't have
Speaker 1: a friend in the world, and Sean quickly opens the
Speaker 1: window to try and get away, but Corey says he can't.
Speaker 1: It's a school night, and Sean says he can't live
Speaker 1: by these rules. If he wants to cut his toenails
Speaker 1: at the dinner table, he should be allowed, and Corey explains,
Speaker 1: we were just covering our food just covering our food.
Speaker 6: Good.
Speaker 2: It's so disgusting but so great.
Speaker 1: Corey says his parents make the rules, and Sean says
Speaker 1: he didn't ask to live with them or be in
Speaker 1: this situation. And Corey asks, what am I supposed to
Speaker 1: tell my parents? And then we hear the dog bark again,
Speaker 1: and Sean says, to tell them he took himself out
Speaker 1: for a walk.
Speaker 2: And then we are at Turner's apartment.
Speaker 6: Ms.
Speaker 2: Tompkins is over.
Speaker 1: They're sitting on the couch romantically and Turner says he
Speaker 1: could look into her eyes forever, and Miss Tompkins asks
Speaker 1: if that means he wants to marry her?
Speaker 2: And he is shocked. You got that from that?
Speaker 6: What have you been? Four months?
Speaker 2: Any any man in his right mind would turn and run.
Speaker 6: Hey, your eyes look beautiful. We've been dating for four months?
Speaker 6: Does that mean you want to marry me? Get out?
Speaker 6: There's the only possible answer to that. Next thing?
Speaker 3: Are you no?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: If you're in love? I mean, look, well, hold on,
Speaker 3: let's go back.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 4: What about three months to buy a car to make
Speaker 4: a decision? How long did it Amy and you were.
Speaker 3: There's a logic gap. We can really you're.
Speaker 6: Talking about the logic gap between taking three months to
Speaker 6: buy a car and four months to want to marry
Speaker 6: somebody you just started dating.
Speaker 1: Okay, marriage, no, no, no, no, let's see now. Turner
Speaker 1: is in his early thirties, right, I.
Speaker 3: Think, or maybe late twenties.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like he's here maybe, Okay, somewhere in there.
Speaker 2: She is acting as though she's She says she's the
Speaker 2: same age.
Speaker 1: Her implication when she says that is we are old
Speaker 1: enough to know what we want, and you get the
Speaker 1: sense that she is not looking to be in a
Speaker 1: relationship for like two years before she decides whether or
Speaker 1: not she wants to get married and have.
Speaker 2: A family with somebody. That's fair at four months.
Speaker 1: I'm also picking up on all of this stuff that
Speaker 1: he has not said I love you yet.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: He says he could look in her eyes forever, which
Speaker 1: does feel a little like wow, that means something. That
Speaker 1: means something if you think you could look in my
Speaker 1: eyes forever?
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 1: And I don't think she's trying to say I need
Speaker 1: you to propose to me, but she is looking for
Speaker 1: I love you, and based on where we are now,
Speaker 1: I see this being the potential relationship that could go
Speaker 1: the distance.
Speaker 6: No problem with anything you just said.
Speaker 2: Okay, and I think that's what this is.
Speaker 1: And again they just needed to up the stakes a
Speaker 1: little bit where she could look at it like, if
Speaker 1: you're not willing to say to me, I could see
Speaker 1: this relationship leading to forever. Something may change in three
Speaker 1: or four months, but I could see this being something
Speaker 1: that lasts forever. Which it feels as though he can't
Speaker 1: even say that to her, and she says, if after
Speaker 1: four months of this much time with me, you can't
Speaker 1: tell me that, then you are maybe not the person
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 5: Have no problem with anything you just said. When the
Speaker 5: ants when it comes from I could look in your
Speaker 5: eyes forever? Does that mean you want to marry me?
Speaker 5: You're a crazy lady, That's what.
Speaker 6: That So if it's if you go from I could
Speaker 6: look in your eyes forever, well, what is what does
Speaker 6: that mean? Because we've now been together for four months?
Speaker 6: What mean it's different than throwing marriage out?
Speaker 1: They could they could have changed it a little bit
Speaker 1: to say, does that mean you could see yourself marrying
Speaker 1: me someday?
Speaker 7: Or does it?
Speaker 6: Does that? Does that mean you could see this lasting?
Speaker 6: You don't you don't throw the marriage word out after
Speaker 6: four months ever.
Speaker 3: Ever, I it's funny that you're so strong.
Speaker 5: I think most men, and I'm not trying to speak
Speaker 5: for everybody, I think most men would find that an
Speaker 5: instant red flag. If if you say I could look
Speaker 5: into your eyes forever after four months and the response
Speaker 5: is does that mean you want to marry me? Most
Speaker 5: guys would instantly have their radar.
Speaker 6: Up where it's like, wow, you took that real far,
Speaker 6: real fast, and he kind of does that where he's like, wow,
Speaker 6: you take a compliment worse than anybody I have ever
Speaker 6: seen him. And again, had they written it in a
Speaker 6: way where it was exactly what you were saying, Danielle like,
Speaker 6: I don't want to, you know, give my heart to
Speaker 6: her line that she says is great. I don't want
Speaker 6: to give you jump right to marriage, which, for again
Speaker 6: most men is going to signal it.
Speaker 1: But it's just the word marriage, because saying I could
Speaker 1: see myself spending forever with you is marriage.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you want to take steps and seeing, so
Speaker 6: it's not even saying forever with you, it's do you
Speaker 6: see this going somewhere? Which doesn't necessarily mean marriage, but
Speaker 6: it also means there's a possibility for growth, which is
Speaker 6: what you want in a relationship. Hey, this is something
Speaker 6: where it's going to be together, the two of us.
Speaker 6: I see this growing together into something that can be beautiful.
Speaker 2: But I always break it down.
Speaker 1: I always break it down into the for TV show purposes,
Speaker 1: we are looking at stakes and if we need to say,
Speaker 1: on a quick elevator pitch, what this is about.
Speaker 3: He is not ready.
Speaker 1: Is mister Turner ready for commitment, which is equals marriage?
Speaker 6: I get it.
Speaker 2: No, and she is looking for that.
Speaker 5: But the way they wrote it, most men would have
Speaker 5: pulled the ripcord at that point. When you go right
Speaker 5: from I like your eyes to does that mean you
Speaker 5: want to marry me? Most men would be like that.
Speaker 6: I had an early again. So yeah, I know it's.
Speaker 2: We can agree to disagree. We can so me says
Speaker 2: they have spent four months together, and Jonathan, you are
Speaker 2: a good gentleman.
Speaker 5: I love you.
Speaker 1: I could spend the rest of my life with you
Speaker 1: and have children with you, and I know that they
Speaker 1: will always be safe.
Speaker 2: When you hold me, I feel safe.
Speaker 1: If you can't say the same thing with the same conviction,
Speaker 1: then don't let me give any more. Of my heart
Speaker 1: to you go, and he says, you take a compliment
Speaker 1: worse than any woman I've ever met. He says he
Speaker 1: can't say that he loves her. And then there is
Speaker 1: a knock at the door and it's Sean. Mister Turner says,
Speaker 1: this is a terrible time, and Sean says, tell me
Speaker 1: about it, and he reveals a uniformed police officer next
Speaker 1: to him, and then Sean says.
Speaker 2: He's a cop.
Speaker 3: That's my favorite life line.
Speaker 6: Great, he's a cop, and this is another stealing good
Speaker 6: this is this is the other thing we were going
Speaker 6: to talk about. That same actor played exactly the same
Speaker 6: police officer but with an eyepatch in Seinfeld the next season.
Speaker 6: Really same uniform, same character, same everything. In an episode
Speaker 6: called the Scofflaw, and I was like, that's the thing
Speaker 6: that was.
Speaker 2: Our police.
Speaker 5: So we got Taoli and the police officer right there,
Speaker 5: same carc hell and you yeah, they're taking, they're stealing
Speaker 5: from us.
Speaker 1: Well, then we're into a commercial break and then we
Speaker 1: come back. We're still in Turner's apartment. The police officer
Speaker 1: explains that Sean was caught loitering with older kids and
Speaker 1: they had spray paint at the high school. It looked
Speaker 1: like they were about to do some redecorating, so Sean
Speaker 1: says he was just going to sell the cans to
Speaker 1: some bad kids for a higher price.
Speaker 2: Serves them right now.
Speaker 4: I liked this moment because it's one of the few
Speaker 4: times where Seawan was actually doing something bad. Yeah, like
Speaker 4: we talk about Sean being this like rebel or whatever,
Speaker 4: but Sean sides blowing up a mailbox. Yeah, it never
Speaker 4: does anything actually against the law, or that he's always
Speaker 4: in snowl He's always shows up for you know, Like,
Speaker 4: so this gotts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cory's gotten way more attention.
Speaker 4: So this is one of the few times in the
Speaker 4: history of Boy Meets World where Seawan actually was doing
Speaker 4: something bad and he's gonna spray paint, you know or whatever.
Speaker 4: And I just liked it.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, this is nice to see.
Speaker 4: There should have been a little bit more of that,
Speaker 4: because there's just not enough, Like we're just sort of
Speaker 4: told that Shawn's a bad kid or from the wrong
Speaker 4: side of the track, but this was like a clear
Speaker 4: example of him doing something wrong.
Speaker 3: It was nice.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is nice.
Speaker 1: I think part of the reason they don't ever show
Speaker 1: more than that is because they don't want you to
Speaker 1: actually be the bad kid. They just want the threat
Speaker 1: of you becoming the bad kids. So this is the
Speaker 1: perfect amount of that.
Speaker 5: It's also they want all the other characters to assume
Speaker 5: you're going to be a bad kid from where you
Speaker 5: just from where you're from, right, which is that whole
Speaker 5: thing too.
Speaker 3: So we should keep tabs on it.
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know if Sean ever is a bad kid, right,
Speaker 4: you know, besides this and blowing up a mailbox, does
Speaker 4: do Shawn ever do anything truly bad, like in the
Speaker 4: sense of like amoral or against the law?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I mean even in this situation, you didn't actually
Speaker 1: do the graffiti, yet it looked like you were about to. Yeah, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So he teld the police officer that he was staying
Speaker 1: with mister Turner. Turner thinks about it for a second
Speaker 1: and looks back at Miss Tompkins. She looks sympathetic and supportive,
Speaker 1: and he says, yeah, he's staying with me while his
Speaker 1: parents are out of town. And then Sean goes even
Speaker 1: further and says, yeah, called out of town to save
Speaker 1: a baby girl in East Virginia who fell down a blowhole,
Speaker 1: which is hysterical, just the too much detailed liars give
Speaker 1: and the police officer tells Turner to keep Sean in
Speaker 1: his house and apologizes to Missus Turner for the disturbance,
Speaker 1: and then he leaves, and Sean is shocked at Missus
Speaker 1: Turner and says, hey, congrats, But as Sean goes to
Speaker 1: shake her hand, Kat says, nope, she's still miss Tompkins.
Speaker 2: And Jonathan says we'll talk or he sees her later,
Speaker 2: and she says good luck, and she leaves.
Speaker 3: That's my question, breaking up?
Speaker 6: Is that a breakup? See? Would it have been stronger
Speaker 6: if she said goodbye? That's what I thought.
Speaker 5: I was waiting for him to say out there, you
Speaker 5: know whatever, and her going goodbye Jonathan, like I thought
Speaker 5: there was something.
Speaker 1: I liked it so much, but it was good luck.
Speaker 1: She is leaving breaking up with him without any malice.
Speaker 1: She doesn't dislike him, she's not mad at him, she
Speaker 1: doesn't blame him, she's not guilty things and I are
Speaker 1: in looking for different things. And I feel differently about
Speaker 1: you than you do about me. And there's nothing that's
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with either one of us. It's very
Speaker 1: matric and I love it cool. Yeah, I thought I
Speaker 1: thought that's what it was, but I was, like, I
Speaker 1: think she's.
Speaker 3: Breaking up with him.
Speaker 2: Yeah she is.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 1: Seawan is then about to leave, but Turner says stay
Speaker 1: and he holds him back and Sean asks why she
Speaker 1: got to leave, and Turner says, because I have more
Speaker 1: to say to you, and then he confronts Sean about
Speaker 1: the blowhole lie. Sean thanks Turner for covering because the
Speaker 1: Matthews would have freaked out with police at their door,
Speaker 1: and Turner yells, saying would they have been mad like this?
Speaker 1: Turner is furious at the situation and disappointed in his behavior,
Speaker 1: and Sean tries to leave again.
Speaker 2: He's had a really rotten night. Tony does the best
Speaker 2: do you see me? Ballroom dancing? It's so good, it's
Speaker 2: so great, he tells Sean.
Speaker 1: If he keeps heading down this track in life, then
Speaker 1: he's gonna go down places he doesn't want to be.
Speaker 1: Sewn apologizes for messing up his night and Turner says,
Speaker 1: don't worry, I already messed up my night well before
Speaker 1: you got here. Turner sits down and Sean joins him, saying, yeah, women.
Speaker 1: Turner says, what do you know about women, and Sean
Speaker 1: quickly retorts, what do.
Speaker 3: You want to know?
Speaker 2: And Turner says, great, it's good.
Speaker 3: It's so good. The characters about this, it's perfect.
Speaker 4: Characters will going together and they're just you want to
Speaker 4: see them together. You want to see Sean giving him
Speaker 4: dating advice. It's hysterical.
Speaker 2: It's so good.
Speaker 1: And and the quick quick little retorts why can't you
Speaker 1: be the sharp in my class? And your response Math's
Speaker 1: not my best subject. All of it's so great.
Speaker 6: Could were you? I did?
Speaker 3: I had to look away because I think if I
Speaker 3: made eye contact.
Speaker 1: He says, I'm your English teacher, and Sean says, and
Speaker 1: why are you teaching math?
Speaker 2: It's just such a beautiful scene between you and.
Speaker 4: Dumb Sean exists coexisting with dramatic Sean, like exactly, you're
Speaker 4: in the same yeah, in the same episode.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's so great.
Speaker 1: It's it's a perfect way of instilling your dramatic character
Speaker 1: with bits of comedy because you can you can deliver
Speaker 1: it deadpan and it and it and it.
Speaker 2: Fits with the drama.
Speaker 6: So it's that's great. It is, it's great.
Speaker 1: Then we're in the Matthew's kitchen, Amy and Allan call
Speaker 1: the boys down for breakfast, but Corey comes down alone.
Speaker 1: They ask where Sean is, and Corey starts to cover
Speaker 1: for him. They know that Sean left around nine pm
Speaker 1: the night before. Cory asks if they know everything all
Speaker 1: the time, and Corey says that Sean is like a
Speaker 1: wild dog doing wild dog things. Turner then knocks on
Speaker 1: the door with Sean next to him, and Alan reveals
Speaker 1: that Turner called them. Amy sends the boys up to
Speaker 1: their room, and Alan says the last time he heard
Speaker 1: from Chet was when he backed out of their driveway
Speaker 1: and hit the trash can.
Speaker 2: Eric walks in from outside, asking for.
Speaker 1: A weed whacker and reveals that he's working for those
Speaker 1: SAT secrets and has feene Rights right where he wants him.
Speaker 6: And apparently rolling in the dirt you are to cover,
Speaker 6: is that what's happened is absolutely in the dirt.
Speaker 2: As he does there covered in nud They were not
Speaker 2: subtle with that.
Speaker 1: They Feeney yells at him to keep working in the garden,
Speaker 1: and Eric says, right in the palm of my hand,
Speaker 1: it's really great. Uh.
Speaker 2: Just as Turner.
Speaker 1: Explains what Sean needs, Chet calls and starts to leave
Speaker 1: a message on their machine until Amy picks up. They
Speaker 1: ask where he is. He says he's either leaving Ohio
Speaker 1: or heading into Georgia. He's nowhere near Philadelphia. Amy asks
Speaker 1: if he found his wife, and he says no, but
Speaker 1: he did find the r V.
Speaker 3: One of those.
Speaker 4: We have two like kind of cheat swing sets, this
Speaker 4: one and then there's the outside the boys bedroom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny. They're like, really just one.
Speaker 1: Shot basically exactly, one little shot one one little four
Speaker 1: foot section.
Speaker 3: Masks don't cost too much.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but this one, I mean, so how did they
Speaker 4: get the car effect moving on the outside.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm curious about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like is it no?
Speaker 3: Because you actually I think you can see cars moving,
Speaker 3: so it might actually be a screen. Like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: h did they do things?
Speaker 6: They didn't do things after the fact, like digital screen.
Speaker 3: I don't think we would have had green screen back then,
Speaker 3: but maybe.
Speaker 5: We had regular green schime don't remember I rapped about it,
Speaker 5: but no, the the other I mean, I don't know
Speaker 5: if we had it on our set. Because it's funny
Speaker 5: because in the next scene, I it really made me
Speaker 5: realize how amazing those backdrops are because that backyard you
Speaker 5: can stare at it and.
Speaker 3: It looks real to photograph.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I mean, But it looks I mean
Speaker 6: that with it. Really there's depth to it with with
Speaker 6: the other plants in front of it. So the only
Speaker 6: green screen we ever did was our amazing opening credits, which.
Speaker 3: It looks so fake.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and good looking Detective. We did a big green
Speaker 6: yeah forgot, but I.
Speaker 4: Don't think they would have done green screen for this.
Speaker 4: I'm curious how they actually pulled that.
Speaker 2: Off, because we could probably ask Kendall at some point. Well,
Speaker 2: have to follow up on that.
Speaker 1: So Alan asks if Chet's coming back, and he says
Speaker 1: he won't be coming until he finds his wife and
Speaker 1: wins her back. And then a waitress comes up and
Speaker 1: hands him the bill and he reluctantly pays, saying he
Speaker 1: thought he left it on the table, so he was
Speaker 1: trying to dine and dash. Alan says it's not fair
Speaker 1: to anyone with Shawn's current situation and he should come
Speaker 1: tell Sean.
Speaker 2: Chet says, I just did. If he knows his son,
Speaker 2: he's by listening.
Speaker 1: In on the adults talking, and yep, sure enough, Sean
Speaker 1: is listening behind them and says, no one wants him
Speaker 1: and he doesn't need anybody, and he runs upstairs. Sean,
Speaker 1: Alan and Amy run after Sean, but Turner waits for
Speaker 1: him outside by the treehouse because he was once a
Speaker 1: little Sean type and so he knows exactly where he's
Speaker 1: going and what he's doing, and he runs out into
Speaker 1: the Matthew's backyard. Sure enough, Sean jumps down, and Turner
Speaker 1: says it's easy to run when someone reaches out and
Speaker 1: tells him they care. But all Sean is looking for
Speaker 1: is somewhere to sleep. Turner surprises him and says he
Speaker 1: can give Shawn a home. Sean asks if it's just
Speaker 1: for three weeks and then he'll get sick of him,
Speaker 1: and Turner says he's already sick of him, but no,
Speaker 1: he's still offering him a home, and he says he
Speaker 1: needs to do something for somebody else and he isn't
Speaker 1: trying to be his dad. Seawn agrees to move in
Speaker 1: with Turner with a very cool handshake, saying they both
Speaker 1: like a challenge.
Speaker 3: And then great, he's so good and it's like the characters,
Speaker 3: you're just you're just rooting for.
Speaker 1: This to happen, absolutely, and what I what I love too,
Speaker 1: is what you were talking about, writer. With Tony being
Speaker 1: such a good dramatic actor. The one of the things
Speaker 1: we loved so much from Career Day was the way
Speaker 1: Alan Rusty pat's Ben's stomach at the end, instead of
Speaker 1: when it could be this really kind of like I'm
Speaker 1: the son of my father and it could be this
Speaker 1: emotional thing. The fact that Turner responds with I'm sick
Speaker 1: of your right now, like the fact that the response
Speaker 1: is don't want to be your dad.
Speaker 2: All of it's so good.
Speaker 1: It makes it It actually makes it land so much more.
Speaker 1: You're so much more invested than laying it on too thick.
Speaker 6: Plus the way they've set it up where they need
Speaker 6: each other already, we already know they need each other.
Speaker 1: It's great exactly because it could They very easily could
Speaker 1: have a lesser show wouldn't have given us any backstory
Speaker 1: about why this is actually going to be good for
Speaker 1: Turner too, and it would have just been that Turner
Speaker 1: is going to do the.
Speaker 2: Good thing for this kid.
Speaker 1: But instead it is actually a who rescued who to
Speaker 1: borrow a phrase from dog Rescue, which ties it all
Speaker 1: in with the laying it on thick.
Speaker 2: In the bedroom with the doll, Hey.
Speaker 6: For the dog what I just got it.
Speaker 2: So in Then, to top off.
Speaker 1: An already incredible scene between Sean and Turner, Corey falls
Speaker 1: out of the tree house.
Speaker 6: Good it was so I laughed, actually laughed out loud?
Speaker 3: Out did I?
Speaker 7: I actually laughed out loud. He falls down, hurting himself
Speaker 7: and says, oh gosh, oh god, and I it's perfect.
Speaker 7: It is perfect, so funny. I couldn't love it more.
Speaker 1: So Turner excuses himself to go square things up with
Speaker 1: Sean's dad, and Corey overheard the conversation with Turner. He
Speaker 1: was hanging in the tree for a while, had to
Speaker 1: wait for a squirrel to leave him alone, and he
Speaker 1: gets why this situation is better than his parents' house
Speaker 1: and Sean won't be astray anymore.
Speaker 6: Tons of hand rubbing ben after the land saw hand rubbing.
Speaker 3: But man, it's it was fun.
Speaker 2: Oh it was so good, Oh so funny.
Speaker 1: So Sean asks what if he hates living with Turner
Speaker 1: and Corey says he'll have his parents put in a
Speaker 1: doggy door for him, And Sean says, just leave a
Speaker 1: window open, and Corey says, you got it.
Speaker 2: And just one beautiful scene after another.
Speaker 6: Ye, great, awesome, this is awesome.
Speaker 3: Sherman wrote this episode, yes.
Speaker 2: And Matthew Nelson wrote the one before Career Day.
Speaker 6: We've had a couple in a row that have been
Speaker 6: really well written. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Dare I say Career Day and Home are two of
Speaker 1: my favorite episodes of the series really?
Speaker 6: Yes, definitely the season for me, I would say they're great.
Speaker 1: It's a solid right on par with me for me
Speaker 1: with some of my favorite season one episodes, if not
Speaker 1: even in my opinion, slightly better than some of those.
Speaker 2: I just I think these these are in contention for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not too.
Speaker 4: Dramatic for you, like I mean, I love them really okay,
Speaker 4: because for me, like the the Dog scened especially, it
Speaker 4: is just not a great I give me.
Speaker 1: I can see how you would feel that way, But
Speaker 1: I also think if you really put it into context,
Speaker 1: of that was for eleven year olds, Yeah, and some
Speaker 1: of the other stuff is for the forty five year olds,
Speaker 1: and some of the other stuff is for the twenty
Speaker 1: year olds who are there watching, And we still get
Speaker 1: even though they are dramatic episodes, there are still I
Speaker 1: literally laughed out loud multiple times, and this time when
Speaker 1: Corey falls out of the tree at the perfect moment.
Speaker 1: I was great, and I rewound it and I watched
Speaker 1: it again. So to me, there's never too long without
Speaker 1: a laugh. There's the right amount of hooking me in
Speaker 1: and making me invested, and then they break it up
Speaker 1: with a laugh out loud moment.
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful, beautiful episode.
Speaker 6: I agree. I agree hundred percent. I thought it was great.
Speaker 5: I thought the last two especially have been Yes, what
Speaker 5: a way, like just what a way to end the season.
Speaker 5: And if we're over on the bubble, I mean come only.
Speaker 1: And then Thrilla and Philip being right before career day,
Speaker 1: you have a fantastic vertical romp.
Speaker 3: Weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, come on, it's like.
Speaker 3: This season two one. You guys over seasons.
Speaker 2: I mean we started off. Boy, this show salked me in.
Speaker 2: I am I'm glued to it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it needs to be said, like even
Speaker 4: more devastating that Tony never came back after his motorcycle accident.
Speaker 2: Now I don't even want to talk about that.
Speaker 4: Binged on this relationship. Like the cliffinger of the season
Speaker 4: is Sean and Turner are going to be living together.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see that season three with him.
Speaker 1: We still have season three, let's wait to mourn his loss.
Speaker 4: So it's so clearly invested in Sean's like his whole
Speaker 4: character is going to be saved by.
Speaker 2: This person, and Tony will be saved by Sean.
Speaker 3: It's so great, Like we have to resolve this.
Speaker 6: Motorcycle accident. He resolved it in thirty seconds on Girl
Speaker 6: Me's World.
Speaker 3: I remember I was there, yike.
Speaker 1: So we are in Phoenie's backyard. Eric is gardening while
Speaker 1: Phoenie watches. Eric is tired of it. He demands to
Speaker 1: know the secrets about the SATs, which are now tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Phoenie says, get a good night's sleep, which he reveals
Speaker 1: is the first secret. The second is clear your mind,
Speaker 1: and Phoenie asks him if he knows what the third
Speaker 1: secret is and Eric says, you're Satan.
Speaker 3: You are Satan.
Speaker 2: Is so funny, remember that.
Speaker 1: Phoenie asks him if he knows what SAT means, and
Speaker 1: Eric says SAT and Phoenie says, Scholastic aptitude test. It
Speaker 1: measures what's in your brain. So get some sleep, clear
Speaker 1: your mind, and trust yourself. Eric prepares to leave, but
Speaker 1: Phoene says there's still work to do, the manner of
Speaker 1: pruning Miaslias, and Eric says, sure, I'll get right on that. Psike,
Speaker 1: you already told me the three secrets, and Phoenie asks
Speaker 1: if he said there were only three secrets because psych
Speaker 1: And we end the episode on maybe a little bit
Speaker 1: of an oof joke the way we started on a
Speaker 1: little bit of an oof Joe Boy.
Speaker 2: Everything in the middle of this is just exactly golden
Speaker 2: and gorgeous.
Speaker 1: I love it so much so any final thoughts now
Speaker 1: that we have finished season two, I mean, we're going
Speaker 1: to do a whole recap of season two. You don't
Speaker 1: need to tell me your thoughts on the overall season,
Speaker 1: but any other thoughts on this episode before we close
Speaker 1: us out.
Speaker 5: I really I really enjoyed it. I really liked seeing
Speaker 5: where it's going. I like seeing that they know there's
Speaker 5: going to be a direction. They're flushing out other characters
Speaker 5: besides just Corey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I'm in at this point.
Speaker 4: It's it's it's really interesting how much the side character
Speaker 4: Sean and Turner have become, you know, the central issual
Speaker 4: relationship to the show, and like it's really it's a
Speaker 4: it's a risk, you know, and I'm I'm glad it
Speaker 4: happened me toally, but it's funny because I didn't see it.
Speaker 3: It felt inevitable at.
Speaker 4: That age, like when we were doing it, but in retrospect,
Speaker 4: like it's a it's a big shift from the beginning
Speaker 4: of the second season to end this way.
Speaker 3: It's a big shift. Yeah, it is, And I guess
Speaker 3: I also like, where's Tapanga right?
Speaker 4: Like you know, which ends up becoming probably the central
Speaker 4: relationship a boy meets World. It's so interesting that the
Speaker 4: second season ends without any sort of development in that regard.
