WEBVTT - From the Fans: Is it a Trap?

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:23.799
<v Speaker 1>Guys, we are back with voice memos. We didn't have

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>writer last time, so I figured now is the moment

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>to reiterate the situation. We have a very dramatic reason

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:35.599
<v Speaker 1>to be talking to fans this week. And what we

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>did is we put out a call on Instagram and

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>we said, if you feel the same sort of passion

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>as our host did regarding whether or not Topanga set

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>a trap for send us a voice memo under one minute,

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>which is a very tight place to be put in.

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people talk like the micromine a micromachine

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>man in order to get.

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 2>At the f Oh jeez, I remember he was the best.

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>And so yeah, we have clips from people who believe

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it was a trap, clips from people who think it

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a trap, and some people who just have thoughts.

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Wow, okay, all right.

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 3>We know which team I'm on. I have not changed

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 3>my mind at all.

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I have not either. I'm still tea trapped them.

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think if anything, I'm confused because I feel

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 4>like Danielle's position is actually that it was a trap.

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 4>It's just that that to Panga didn't well I don't know.

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Was that it was the way to Panga The way

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 3>she said it and set it up in the opener

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 3>is clear to me. It was never intended to be

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 3>a trap. At the end of the episode, they threw

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 3>her under the bus and made it.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 4>They threw under the bus part, because that's the part

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 4>that throws me off, like what you're saying, because I

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 4>feel like you're coming at this from a defensive position

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 4>to begin with, that you already thought to Panga set

0:01:58.200 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 4>it up because you had been told by fans to

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 4>set up Corey, so that when you heard the line,

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 4>you're like, well, that's not actually what she said. But

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 4>the end of the episode is her saying you failed

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 4>my test.

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.519
<v Speaker 3>He said, he said. He says something like no, because

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 3>you told me too. He says that he puts those

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 3>words in her mouth, and she then doesn't say no,

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 3>I didn't. She and yeah, you listened, which.

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Was lame by the writer's.

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Super lame and doesn't even doesn't correlate, like that's not

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 3>that's no, not you listened. I didn't set you. I

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 3>didn't give you a test. You're if I gave you

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 3>a test, your test was failed the moment you let

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 3>you stayed. So it wasn't a test about whether or

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 3>not you were going to go on the day with her.

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 3>It was about whether or not you were ready to say,

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm walking out of here with you. You're the only

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 3>person I need to Panga, I don't need her. Let's

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 3>get out of here together.

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>That's what I think too.

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.679
<v Speaker 5>I think essentially to Panga was done with the relationship

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 5>the second he didn't leave her. Correct, that's what I

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 5>think too.

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 4>And why did she say you listened?

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Because writers through under the bus.

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 4>But that's that is the reality of the show. So

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 4>we're not talking. I mean, I'm agree it.

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't wasn't a test. The setup wasn't a test.

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 4>But the result is a test.

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, listen, she said, you listened to me. But I

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 3>that could just be bad writing, bad bad writing. That's

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 3>totally under But I.

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 4>Mean, we could say it's bad writing, but that's the

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 4>it was a trap. Like the intention of that is

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 4>you listened. I mean, i I'm I'm I'm just saying

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 4>like that is the storyline, right, You can say it's

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 4>bad writing, but you're choosing which side of the equation

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 4>you're going to.

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't set up. She did set up a trap. She

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 3>didn't set up a trap at the end, Corey tried

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 3>to say you you set up a trap, and Ta

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Penga didn't tell him she didn't, which she should have,

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 3>but it doesn't It doesn't change the fact that she

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 3>was never setting up a trap.

0:03:55.480 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>He as someone who listened to hundreds of lips from listeners.

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>If the decision was made at the time that she

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>said you can stay with Lauren, like if she's saying

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you have to be one hundred percent with me, but

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>then he stays with Lauren and she made her decision there,

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>it can't physically be a trap because she's already made

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>her decision, right.

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 5>I also think the next episode went out of its way,

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 5>or the episode after whenever it was, went out of

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 5>its way to have to Panga say yes, trap trap,

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 5>trap trap or whatever.

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 4>Test test test, test, test, test test, the biggest test.

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 5>The biggest yeah, because they wanted to make sure that

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 5>everyone knew that at that point she's testing Corey, whereas

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't think the first.

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 2>One, and again I think it does.

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 5>They try. Here's what I would say. They tried to

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 5>write it as if it were a trap the way

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 5>that it was set up in Chubbies. It did not

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 5>come off to me that Tapanga was trapping her, and

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 5>if you just cut the line you listened, yes, it.

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Wouldn't been t The idea that Sean from the very

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 3>beginning is picking up on exactly what Tapanga is saying,

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 3>and he's saying, it's a trap. Go with her, Go

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 3>with her right now, whatever happens here, go you You're

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 3>the right thing to do is go with Tapanga. And

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Corey doesn't.

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 4>So I know, but you guys are making it out

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 4>that that I mean, I don't know. I'm not sure

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 4>quite what you're defending. I guess if if if the

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 4>idea is that there's a binary trap or no trap,

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 4>then clear and you want to you want to say

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 4>Topanga clearly did not intend it to be a trap.

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 4>You're looking at the word and you're saying, yes, okay,

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 4>and then we're just gonna ex we're just gonna take

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 4>away that I listened, because that implies it isn't. But

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 4>it's like, but actually, if you look at the whole thing,

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 4>it's clearly not a binary. It's somewhat messy, it's signed

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 4>in between, and I think Topega is smart enough to

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 4>know it's kind of in between. So ultimately, like she's

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 4>she's she's got her release valve, she's got her escape patch.

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't really a trap if you look at what

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:58.919
<v Speaker 4>I actually said. But that's manipulative to a degree, clearly.

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 4>But she, oh, she's not super clear.

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:02.839
<v Speaker 3>It's so clear to me.

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 4>If she was clear, she would say, walk out, if

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 4>you're right now, if you need to.

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 3>Go, do she doesn't want to give him an ultimatum.

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't. An ultimatum is also putting somebody in a situation. Wow,

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to put you in a situation where you

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 3>have to decide it's me or her. No, why don't

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 3>you figure out who you want to be with. I'm

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 3>not going to force you into a situation. You either

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 3>want to be with me or you don't want to

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 3>be with me, And if you're not sure, then figure

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 3>that out. But I don't want to be with somebody

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 3>who isn't sure. So I'm leaving right now.

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 4>And that's the part I leave, she leaves, she goes.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Then you should go figure that out.

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 4>I think, And I think she could be very clear,

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.840
<v Speaker 4>and I think it could you could be very clear

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.280
<v Speaker 4>without giving an ultimatum and just be like this is

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 4>this is the situation we're in, which is not what happens.

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 4>She she says, just the right wording, and then they'll

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 4>and you listen. So therefore now I know you did.

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 4>You failed the test. I still think it's it's I mean,

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 4>my character says it's a trap. It is. It's a trap.

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 3>And yet you pick up on exactly what it is

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 3>that she's saying, which is you should know without a

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 3>shadow of a doubt that I'm the person you want

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 3>to be with. So this should be really easy for you.

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 3>You should be one hundred percent sure, and if you're not,

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 3>then stay and figure that out. But I cannot be

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 3>with someone who needs to stay and figure it out. Bye,

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 3>and she leaves, Well.

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 4>So we have to add that extra sentence. That extra

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 4>sentence is very good. That's not the line. That's not

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 4>what depics on.

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 3>She walks out. It's exactly what she says.

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 5>I feel like we're not going to be I'm sorry,

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 5>I feel like we're not going to be this in

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 5>depth and philosophical.

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to why Eric's in the couch, well.

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 5>I just don't think it's going to get at It's

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 5>going to get the same amount of response, right.

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, it doesn't sound like we're going in any new direction.

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 1>So let's go to the audience again. Worth noting we

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>received hundreds of emails with voice memos. This time we

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>had a quicker turnaround deadline also, so people got really

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>into these with notes and all sorts of things. I

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>think we basically found our subruer film. Do you guys

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>want to hear a trap or a non trap?

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 2>First surprise us?

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Yep?

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, let's listen to Hillary. Hillary believes it

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 1>is a trap.

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Of course it's a trap.

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 6>That's why Sean calls it a trap right from Jump Street.

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 6>That's why there is a runner about what girls really mean.

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 6>It wasn't even Corey's idea to stay and talk to Lauren.

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 6>That's why he says to Panga told him to go

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 6>out with her, and that's why she says, and you listened, Panga,

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 6>being clear, would have been saying, talk to her and

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 6>we're done, stay here and we're breaking up. But then

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 6>the episode would have no stakes. Telling Corey to talk

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.319
<v Speaker 6>to Lauren if he needs to, that she couldn't be

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 6>with him if he's unsure, is to say, I don't

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.560
<v Speaker 6>want us to be together. If you have doubts or

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 6>wondering if you're still thinking of her, So go find

0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:00.080
<v Speaker 6>out if you're sure, and he does, he listens one

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 6>hundred percent a trap there.

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 3>I agree with that one sentence of I could not

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 3>be with someone who is unsure, but that is answered

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 3>the minute he doesn't leave with her. Topeka's shocked. This

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 3>is even still a consideration. Oh, this woman felt so

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 3>strongly about you. She had to come here for four hours.

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.320
<v Speaker 3>She had to come here four hours to see if

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 3>there's something else. If you feel the same way, Bud,

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:25.319
<v Speaker 3>we've got a bigger problem.

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 4>But it's either a test in the moment then or

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 4>a test later. And the fact that it's a test

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.839
<v Speaker 4>later it means that the whole thing was a trap,

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 4>right like because Tobenga could be very clear in that moment,

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 4>and it doesn't have to be an ultimatum. She could

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 4>just say I'm leaving, I'm breaking up with you, I'm

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 4>walking out of here. Right She can be the proactive

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.079
<v Speaker 4>one saying I don't want to be with you because

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.439
<v Speaker 4>you are one hundred percent not sure.

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 3>But she doesn't know if he's unsure what she heard

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:58.200
<v Speaker 3>him say, I don't want to know. She's saying, here's

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 3>your moment. Are you sure or are you not one

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 3>hundred percent sure? Because if you're not one hundred percent sure,

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't be with you anymore.

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 4>And so then she leaves that that's like, but that's

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 4>the kind of thing that she should say, but she

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 4>doesn't say that, And she said that. He says, but

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 4>if she said that, what would Corey do?

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 3>I just he say, he stays to figure it out.

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 3>That's the whole point.

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 4>If she said the sentence that you just said, I

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.079
<v Speaker 4>think he would have said, Okay, yeah, obviously I'm going

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 4>with you to Panka.

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Then what was the point of the arc? The whole

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 3>point of him meeting her was, I can't believe I

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.679
<v Speaker 3>want to talk to this woman who is in Topanga.

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 3>I like her. I enjoyed spending all night with her.

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I could have gone on the ski slopes with Tapanga,

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 3>and I didn't. I said my I lied and said

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:51.440
<v Speaker 3>my ankle still hurt, all because I had feelings for

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 3>this other woman. Then she shows up to see if

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 3>they need to pursue that, and Topenga goes, wow, she

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 3>not so sure your story is over. If you're not

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 3>sure your story is over, then you should figure that out.

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 3>I could never be with someone who wasn't one hundred

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:17.680
<v Speaker 3>percent sure. And then she leaves him. Not leaving with

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 3>her is him saying I'm not one hundred percent sure.

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think it's important. Note now I will give

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you not a trap person again. This says nothing about anything,

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 1>but I will say that more people emailed that it

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>was not a trap. Again, was not a competition, but

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>at least it's worth knowing. And here's our first one.

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>This is Barsha not a trap.

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 7>It was clear that the writers couldn't have Corey be

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 7>a villain or a bad guy, so they had to

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.200
<v Speaker 7>set the scene up as a trap that tippeninga places

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 7>to draw us away from the fact that he literally

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 7>cheated on her and then lied to her about it all. Yes,

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 7>she does ask him to take the time to figure

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 7>his feelings out, but that was because she didn't want

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 7>to force or beg him to choose her. After all,

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.959
<v Speaker 7>they'd been in a relationship for years. To Penga left

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 7>her family to be with him, and so the least

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 7>a peg it deserved was that Corey would choose her.

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 7>Onspot in Chubbies, but he had to question the whole

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 7>relationship based on one night of talking to a random girl.

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 7>She never had to question her feelings for him, so

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 7>she was extremely clear that she wanted a guy who

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 7>was one hundred percent sure about her as well, which

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 7>he wasn't. So later when he did choose her and

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.959
<v Speaker 7>she said that she can't be in the relationship, it

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.439
<v Speaker 7>wasn't because she wanted to trap him, but because he

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 7>had to weigh a long term relationship to a few

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 7>hours old infatuation.

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 4>That's it, But the irony is to Peggott does end

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 4>up having to test her love for Corey by going

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.680
<v Speaker 4>out with another guy.

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 2>We don't know that yet.

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 4>That's not what I'm saying. Like, but the in the

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 4>air she comes back says, I'm in love with Corey.

0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Feelings not about feelings for Corey. Yes, because she tells Corey,

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 3>I didn't understand how someone could kiss you and not

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 3>have it mean anything. So she then went on a

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 3>date with somebody who on paper has everything she could

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 3>possibly want, a guy. He kisses her and she goes, Wow,

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 3>it is possible to physically be intimate with somebody with

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 3>a kiss and not have it mean anything. I now

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 3>feel like I could understand Corey, how his Corey, how

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 3>his kiss with Lauren didn't change anything in the way

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 3>he felt about me. That's what she That's what she

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 3>ends up realizing is Wow, you can actually physically be

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.320
<v Speaker 3>intimate with somebody, like having a kiss with someone, and

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 3>have it truly not mean anything because he kissed me

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 3>this perfect man on paper and I felt nothing.

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 4>So how does that reflect on this moment?

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:51.680
<v Speaker 8>Then?

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 4>Do you think for to think.

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 3>On what moment?

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, she says I can't be with it. That she

0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 4>changes her idea. She changes her because because Corey. If

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 4>if Corey says I'm not one hundred percent sure I

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 4>need to go spend this day with Lauren, right, she

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.839
<v Speaker 4>ultimately forgives him for that, I mean to be with him,

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 4>right because she also says, oh, you weren't one hundred

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 4>percent sure, and I'm still in love with you, because

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.439
<v Speaker 4>you know, even if if like you're saying, it wasn't

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 4>an experience, I had to go out. I just had

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 4>to have the physical kiss either way. She comes around

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 4>to say, to change her mind after this, right.

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, which she shouldn't have, but she she does because

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 3>she's decided that she's gonna over and over again, forgive

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 3>him cheating on her. She's shown that, so I think

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 3>for her it was more a matter of being able

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 3>to have true empathy. For Oh, someone can kiss you

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 3>and it really cannot mean anything. You could feel nothing,

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 3>as opposed to them being worried that like, not only

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 3>did you emotionally have a connection to this girl, you

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 3>stayed up all night with and lied to me about

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 3>you kissed her, and that would obviously have to mean something.

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 3>It's a bit of a we talked about the way

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 3>they wrote Toga. It's a little bit of like a

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 3>changing of the situation because later she makes it all

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 3>about the kiss when it wasn't really about the kiss.

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 9>Well.

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.440
<v Speaker 5>They also they did something kind of interesting in that

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 5>episode because they were trying to obviously mirror what happened

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 5>in the ski lodge where she looks down is like,

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 5>oh my god, I spent the whole day talking to

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 5>you in an art museum.

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really.

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 5>But the difference is Corey was struggling with the fact

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 5>that he found somebody that he really connected with instantly

0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 5>and really liked. They never really got into that with

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 5>Topenga and French Boy. It was just kind of like

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 5>he's really cute.

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 2>You should go out with him. It wasn't like, oh

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 2>my god, I never had.

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Feelings for him. Interesting conversationalists.

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was where they really set it up with

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 5>Corey where he was like, oh my god, I could

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 5>have feelings for somebody other than Topanga, where Topenga is

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 5>just like, well, I guess I'm here because Corey went

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 5>out with somebody.

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean it was I mean she does, doesn't she

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 4>have the man's playing moment at the painting and then

0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 4>drag Corey into test his phone.

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, no, no, no, that was ridiculous, all the testing

0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 5>that was clearly a test and oh no, but I'm.

0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 4>Saying that it wasn't wasn't that her being affected by

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 4>this guy, Like she was not a moment she was

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 4>having a moment with a guy where she was like,

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 4>I wish Corey, I would to do this it too.

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 5>They set up an intimacy between Corey and Lauren that

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 5>they never set up between Topanga and I literally don't

0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 5>even remember the character's name.

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Ricky.

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Ricky, right, Ricky, don't lose that number.

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's go back to a trap here. This is Anna.

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 10>The amount of screaming I did while only listening to

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 10>this podcast, this week's podcast, and last week's podcast, Oh

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 10>my Goodness. For most of the part I was always

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 10>on Will's side. I definitely agreed with his mindset, his opinions,

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 10>and then this week's episode talking about the trap, I

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 10>was definitely agreeing and understood right her side. I'm thirty

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 10>years old. I've watched this show then and I've watched

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 10>it now, and it's not until now that I've gotten

0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 10>older that it's like hearing that back was like, No, Tipega.

0:16:58.560 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Knew what she was doing.

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 10>She knew what she was saying because she is portrayed

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.399
<v Speaker 10>as a very intelligent, very wise woman, and it just

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 10>felt as she also knows Corey isn't there, so it

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 10>fell and sounded like a trap. Oh so much to say,

0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:14.920
<v Speaker 10>but yeah.

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, people have feelings. I do wonder too, like does

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 1>this make it good television that so many people absolutely

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:27.720
<v Speaker 1>different ways?

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.239
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think the only reason they threw her

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.120
<v Speaker 3>under the bus is to make it is to make

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 3>it where neither one of them is technically wrong. But

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.120
<v Speaker 3>you can, you can fudget all you want, you can

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:43.919
<v Speaker 3>pretend the kiss is what really ultimately bothered to Panga

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.639
<v Speaker 3>the most. Corey can say you set a trap, and

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 3>she can respond with some non non it doesn't make

0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 3>any sense. We can do all of that, but it

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 3>was the way it was set up is the way

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 3>it should have finished, and it was to me very clear,

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 3>I am not going to force you into an ultimatum

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 3>where I'm begging you to choose me. You should already

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 3>know and anything after that moment is just them trying

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 3>to make Corey not a villain and make Tapanga seem

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 3>like she also understands how this could happen for Corey,

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:19.440
<v Speaker 3>but I don't feel I feel like it's completely inexcusable.

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's hear another non a trap. This is Marissa.

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 11>When I was younger, I felt torn off Tapanga was

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.400
<v Speaker 11>being sketchy with this quote trap. But as a grown

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 11>up woman, I realized that Tapanga has been through more

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.200
<v Speaker 11>moments of infidelity with Corey than I have fingers. So

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.200
<v Speaker 11>whatever Tapanga needed to do for herself to get out

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 11>of the cycle with Corey, I'm in support of.

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 12>It was a.

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 11>Strong moment seeing her walk out of Chubbies as a

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 11>free woman. With that said, Topanga and Corey forever, I

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.359
<v Speaker 11>love this show and I will us.

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean again, you you talked about it.

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 5>It's a good TV I would instantly go when I

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:10.879
<v Speaker 5>think Corey and Topanga, you can you can make the

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 5>correlation Ross and Rachel where it's like an iconic television

0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:16.080
<v Speaker 5>couple that has mattered.

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 2>People forget that Ross and Rachel were separated on the

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 2>show for six seasons. Yeah, and that was some of

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 2>the best TV they had. Was are they going to

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 2>get back together? They're not going to get back together?

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 2>What's going on?

0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 5>And they never did that with Corey and Topanga, And

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 5>they missed so much opportunity with exactly that.

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>It also became a verb when you were pitching TV shows, right,

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 1>it was, Oh, we're going to do what are they

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>going to? Are they not going?

0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Yeah, well there won't they?

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, there won't they?

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 1>It became their own form of sitcom.

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and yeah, they missed a lot there. They certainly did.

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh, let's go to someone named Bess. Bess has a

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.359
<v Speaker 1>perspective that none of us have currently, that's for sure.

0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:58.640
<v Speaker 10>Hi, this is Bess.

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 12>I agree with Danielle that the writers did to Panga

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:06.199
<v Speaker 12>dirty mainly though this episode stirs up so much in me.

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 12>I recently developed a crush on someone outside my marriage.

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 12>I handled it different than Corey. I told my husband

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 12>right away and we had a really beautiful conversation about

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.440
<v Speaker 12>trust and the nature of feelings, and now we're even

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 12>more in love. So when Corey learned that he doesn't

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 12>need to be afraid of his feelings for another girl,

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 12>I thought that was really beautiful. The problem is Corey

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 12>took action with Lauren when he could have just worked

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 12>on himself and figured out the same thing. So no,

0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 12>I don't think it was a trap. I think Corey

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 12>trapped himself. And to your point about the writers, it's

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:47.680
<v Speaker 12>funny that I've never felt so connected to the storyline

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:52.160
<v Speaker 12>as I do now in my thirties. Married. Anyway, Justice

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 12>for Tapanga and I love this podcast so much.

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Justice Forega. That's great.

0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that is great, And you know that like that idea.

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 3>That to me is what has bothered me so much

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:09.679
<v Speaker 3>more about the Corey's infidelity is that moment where he

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 3>he had the chance to say, my ankle's better, and

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 3>I want you to stay off the slopes because I

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 3>need to talk to you and to have could he

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.200
<v Speaker 3>heat Now, granted we're talking about teenagers.

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 13>No, the problem is that the the the the criticism

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 13>of us taking it so seriously, or of us having

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 13>higher expectations for any of these characters Tapega included for Tapanga,

0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:40.199
<v Speaker 13>for our even for our expectation for Tapega to.

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Go, listen, lady, make it clear. Are you given him

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:45.920
<v Speaker 3>an ultimatum or are you not? Are you testing him

0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.960
<v Speaker 3>or are you not? That's a Those are big. Those

0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:53.199
<v Speaker 3>are expectations you have of people, of married people, not

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 3>of teenagers who aren't the best at communicating or or

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.439
<v Speaker 3>understanding their feelings and all of this. But yet the

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:07.360
<v Speaker 3>storyline is such an adult storyline it's hard to it's

0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:08.560
<v Speaker 3>hard to keep that in perspective.

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, we've talked about that.

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:11.880
<v Speaker 5>We've talked about how the people a lot of people

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 5>writing the show, and they were going through things like

0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 5>this in their life, and they were using these young

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 5>characters to act out what was happening in their own world.

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 5>So it became very adult very quickly. Yeah, that was

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:26.119
<v Speaker 5>That's an interesting way to look at it though.

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 4>But I want to throw in another wrinkle here, which

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.200
<v Speaker 4>is something we talked about a little bit when when

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 4>we covered the episode. I think this whole moment and

0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:39.960
<v Speaker 4>all the sort of confusion around it is the confusion

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 4>is increased by the fact that Linda Cardelini was not

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:47.200
<v Speaker 4>there for us to shoot this specific scene. Because if

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:51.679
<v Speaker 4>you can't do a wide shot to include Lauren in

0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:53.960
<v Speaker 4>the scene, or even if she's on the other side

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 4>of between seeing him watching to Panga leave and deciding

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 4>to stay, you know, because you guys are isolated, almost

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:04.200
<v Speaker 4>feels like she's gone. Like in my mind, I was like,

0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 4>where are we? Is this later it's a commercial break

0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 4>or whatever it is. That jump is so awkward, And

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:11.600
<v Speaker 4>what that does is it makes it a Corey to

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 4>Panga moment where it does seem like Topanga should just

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 4>be more clear. But if she's in front of Lauren

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 4>or Lauren.

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:22.919
<v Speaker 3>Could maybe hear her and Carey with physical body, Lauren

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:24.680
<v Speaker 3>Wiga leaves.

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 4>And that also, for me makes a lot more sense

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 4>of why Topanga wouldn't be like harsh or clear because

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:32.639
<v Speaker 4>she also was like, hey, hey, you're having a moment here,

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 4>because that woman is listening to us talk right now,

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:38.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going to like be the freaked out psycho

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 4>girlfriend who's all jealous, you know, And partly because she

0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 4>doesn't want to do that in front of it. You

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:45.480
<v Speaker 4>don't even give Lauren that the pleasure, you know, or whatever,

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:48.600
<v Speaker 4>just satisfaction. So she says, no, no, no, no, you do

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.639
<v Speaker 4>your thing. But because I'm I walked in on something,

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm walking out. And here's what me walking out means.

0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:56.679
<v Speaker 4>I would have totally buy what you're saying. But I

0:23:56.680 --> 0:24:00.400
<v Speaker 4>think because it feels like a personal private conversation, I'm

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:03.040
<v Speaker 4>a little like, screw you to Panga be clear if

0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 4>it was, but I don't know, so I think it was. Yeah,

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I think that it really does come

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:08.679
<v Speaker 4>down to like the blocking and the right and in

0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 4>fact that she wasn't there.

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:15.119
<v Speaker 3>The visualization of who does Corey's body stay next to

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 3>this scene with the three of them and Sean going,

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:22.679
<v Speaker 3>h dude, you gotta go with this, you gotta go

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:25.479
<v Speaker 3>with her, and Corey turning back to look at Lauren

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 3>and choosing to stay would have been like a cringe,

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, Like you're right that that her not

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 3>then being there for that next scene or at the

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:40.840
<v Speaker 3>very least making that moment where Tapega is talking to

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Cory a wider shot.

0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:46.679
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and just be like, oh, this is because then

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:49.160
<v Speaker 4>it's more in the moment still, and it's like Tapanga

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:51.680
<v Speaker 4>just being like you have yeah, an awkward and all

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:53.760
<v Speaker 4>the things that would make this whole situation.

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:56.919
<v Speaker 5>I also think there's something to be said for I

0:24:57.000 --> 0:25:00.159
<v Speaker 5>wonder how much our thoughts would change either way if

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 5>we knew it was actually in the letter, because I mean,

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 5>you know, don't I mean, she just said it's intimate,

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 5>but how intimate does it get I'm in love with you?

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:09.439
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you never know.

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:11.640
<v Speaker 2>It could completely have changed what we think one way

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 2>or another.

0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 5>Chust Panga read it, everybody read it, but us so

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 5>curious to know what was there.

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Here is Tara. She also in a position different than ours.

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:22.640
<v Speaker 4>Hi.

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.680
<v Speaker 8>There, this is Tara from Eastport, Maine. I'm actually a

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 8>school counselor. So let me tell you if I was

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:30.880
<v Speaker 8>the school counselor at John Adams High School. Because let's

0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 8>be real, ms Collins was terrible at a job, I

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 8>would be encouraging to Panga to say was she actually

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 8>means to Corey? Because she totally trapped him. All she

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.160
<v Speaker 8>had to do was say I can't be with someone

0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 8>who's on one hundred percent sure about me and you

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:49.159
<v Speaker 8>are obviously conflicted, so I am out. But instead she

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:50.840
<v Speaker 8>made it seem like there was still a chance for

0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 8>them to stay together because she was letting Corey go

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:56.919
<v Speaker 8>figure out if he was one hundred percent sure about her.

0:25:57.600 --> 0:25:59.880
<v Speaker 8>The whole exchange is so frustrating, and I totally blame

0:25:59.880 --> 0:26:02.159
<v Speaker 8>the writers for this, and I agree with Danielle that

0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:04.919
<v Speaker 8>the writers totally through Topanga under the bus. It's a

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 8>total disservice to your character and it drives me bananas.

0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 2>It's always the school counselor.

0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:21.119
<v Speaker 3>It's funny because Topanga doesn't know that Corey is conflicted.

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:25.600
<v Speaker 3>All Topega hears is I need you to go because

0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:28.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't want her to see us together. That's what

0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 3>she hears. Yeah, you need to get out of here

0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 3>because Toga Topanga is coming and I don't want her

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:40.359
<v Speaker 3>to see us together. And Topega then is like, you know,

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:42.680
<v Speaker 3>you don't always get what you want or something you

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 3>can't always That's like what she says, like, woo, can't

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 3>always get what you want and that's why. Then to me,

0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 3>it's even more clear that Tapanga is saying, if you

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:55.880
<v Speaker 3>need to stay, then you should do that. But I'm out,

0:26:56.960 --> 0:27:00.119
<v Speaker 3>and I don't know it is it's it is.

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's muddled.

0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:03.719
<v Speaker 4>They wanted to be muddled, so we have an episode

0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:07.040
<v Speaker 4>they wanted to thirty years later, they were looking for

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 4>a podcast episode and here it.

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Is, and here it is.

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 2>We got it.

0:27:09.800 --> 0:27:11.720
<v Speaker 5>Do you think there would be this much discussion over

0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:14.960
<v Speaker 5>whether or not Corey cheated. There's a ton of discussion

0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:16.680
<v Speaker 5>about what Tapanga did. But do you think we would

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:21.720
<v Speaker 5>have the same whether or not him kissing him and

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:24.000
<v Speaker 5>just staying up and talking all night. Do you think

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 5>there would be that it would be as divided over

0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:27.159
<v Speaker 5>did he cheat or did he not?

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:29.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what do you guys think? Do you think

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 3>he did?

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 12>Well?

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what do you mean.

0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 5>Some people that say like, oh, well he you know

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 5>she kissed him, You know, they were just.

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:41.760
<v Speaker 3>To the episode himself, right, I think at the moment.

0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 4>That she kissed him it was cheating. Well from that,

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:47.119
<v Speaker 4>it's the reaction to it, right, Like he could have

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:49.639
<v Speaker 4>just been like whoa, whoa, whoa, that's inappropriate, gone and

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:51.760
<v Speaker 4>told Tapanga like stay up all night talking to this girl.

0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:54.920
<v Speaker 4>She kissed me. Wow, it went too far. What a mistake,

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 4>and then it's over. But the fact that he lies

0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:59.400
<v Speaker 4>and continues to the fact, you know that's the yeah.

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I do think that there is a version

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 4>of Corey being someone innocent until the moment post the kiss,

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:06.880
<v Speaker 4>or at the moment of the kiss, because he could

0:28:06.920 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 4>just put his hands up and stop it yet or.

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 3>Couldn't do anything about it. He's irresistible to the ladies.

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to a lady in Australia. This is Sofia

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Hi from Australia.

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 14>You guys, I just want to quickly start this by

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:28.760
<v Speaker 14>saying that I started watching Boy Me as Well at

0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 14>the age of forty one.

0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I am now forty three.

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 14>I have been the entire series about three or four

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 14>times over. Love Love, Love the show and the podcast

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:42.240
<v Speaker 14>of course. Now, mister Panga, was it a trap? Hell No,

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:44.080
<v Speaker 14>it wasn't a damn trap.

0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Please Okay.

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 14>There could have been one word that changed which I

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 14>felt was a little bit misleading, and it was when

0:28:53.880 --> 0:29:00.160
<v Speaker 14>Tapanga says I couldn't be with someone. Had she had

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 14>said I cannot be with someone, that would have been

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 14>completely different. So I can see the misunderstanding with viewers.

0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, I love you guys.

0:29:13.080 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 14>Topanga was not wrongdition.

0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Another relationship ended by grammar.

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 1>The only one we got. That's not the only voice

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 1>number we got about could not, I cannot it came up.

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 4>It's a good call.

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is a great call.

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:32.479
<v Speaker 1>I guess you guys didn't know what her opinion was,

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:34.720
<v Speaker 1>just so you remember it's this hell.

0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 3>No, it wasn't a damn trap.

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:43.040
<v Speaker 2>That is not what Admiral Akbar says during the Return

0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:45.200
<v Speaker 2>of the Jedi. No, it's not a trap.

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:50.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, No, it's it's interesting to Yeah, but again that's

0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:53.640
<v Speaker 5>what life is is Again, had Topanga come in and

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:55.000
<v Speaker 5>heard anything other.

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Than I don't want us to see us together?

0:29:58.640 --> 0:29:58.880
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 5>Like that shows how much words matter. One word here,

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:04.400
<v Speaker 5>one word there, The entire thing is different. So yeah,

0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 5>super interesting. Cannot and could not two different meanings.

0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 15>Mm hmm. Yeah.

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:24.720
<v Speaker 1>This year is Khalid from Egypt. He's got his own

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 1>opinions falling somewhere in the middle.

0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:28.239
<v Speaker 16>Hey, guys, I got a lot of thoughts, so I'm

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:30.719
<v Speaker 16>going to try to get through as quickly as possible. Basically,

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 16>I don't think she set a trap. I think it's

0:30:32.720 --> 0:30:35.200
<v Speaker 16>more failure on the writer's parts to honor Japang as

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 16>a character. I agree completely that they threw her under

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:40.200
<v Speaker 16>the bus with the and you listened line, But I

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:42.480
<v Speaker 16>actually think it happened earlier, like her dialogue and that

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 16>whole scene is so vague and open to interpretation, and

0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 16>I think a really terrible way, because as the show

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 16>goes on, the importance of their relationship becomes the focus

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 16>of the whole show to an almost psychotic degree. Frank,

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 16>you know, we accept how important it is to them,

0:30:57.720 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 16>and it becomes important to us. So it's such a

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:03.240
<v Speaker 16>betrayal to have Topanga be so vague and not explicitly

0:31:03.280 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 16>say exactly what she means when the stakes are this high,

0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 16>Like it's just not in character. She's normally very articulate.

0:31:09.160 --> 0:31:12.400
<v Speaker 16>And I think therein lies the sometimes tragic flaw of

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:14.960
<v Speaker 16>this great show because it asks you to take these

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 16>characters seriously, requires you to pay attention, and then it

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 16>punishes you for doing so, like it flattens them, changes them,

0:31:20.880 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 16>you know, as a way to create melodrama. And I

0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 16>think that's what happened in this episode. So it was

0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:27.680
<v Speaker 16>a bit of a trap setting up by Tapanga, but

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 16>by the writers.

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 4>I was really well put. Really the way the show

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 4>punishes you for taking this seriously by flattening. Oh my gosh,

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:38.480
<v Speaker 4>it was really true, though.

0:31:38.280 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know, I know.

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, here's Shannon with her own thoughts as well.

0:31:44.320 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 17>Okay, my name is Shannon, and I fear that the

0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 17>word trap is becoming more meaningless the longer this debate. Yeah,

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 17>in this context, as far as I'm concerned, is when

0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 17>one person manufactures a situation to see how the other

0:31:57.360 --> 0:32:00.760
<v Speaker 17>person will react. If Tapanga had said me at Chubby's

0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:02.800
<v Speaker 17>and then arranged for Lauren to be there to see

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 17>what Corey did, that would be a trap. If she

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:07.719
<v Speaker 17>had read the letter first to them, pretended she hadn't,

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:09.800
<v Speaker 17>and asked Corey if he and Lauren kissed to see

0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 17>if he would lie, that would be a trap. You

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 17>know who created this whole situation, Not to Panga, Corey.

0:32:15.760 --> 0:32:18.600
<v Speaker 17>This whole plotline was driven by choices he made. So

0:32:18.680 --> 0:32:21.520
<v Speaker 17>Tapanga is in a situation not of her own making,

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 17>trying to communicate her feelings and needs. Did she communicate

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:28.000
<v Speaker 17>them exactly, perfectly and clearly? No, But she is also

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:30.640
<v Speaker 17>seventeen years old. When I was seventeen, do you know

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 17>how I would break up with someone? I would literally

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 17>just stop talking to them, like on this memo.

0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean that's so true. No, I'm not big picture,

0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 4>big picture. I mean Corey's pretty awful, right, I mean, like,

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:48.320
<v Speaker 4>no think any of us are debating that it's not

0:32:48.360 --> 0:32:51.240
<v Speaker 4>like Topanga is a bat like in any way Topega's

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 4>actions are not equivalent to the crap, right, Like, there's

0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 4>no equivalent in my mind. Yeah, it's it's just and

0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:01.360
<v Speaker 4>I do think that a trap probably is not a

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:03.800
<v Speaker 4>great term. It's more like test right, It's like it's

0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:07.080
<v Speaker 4>more like just in a moment, and it's it's just

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:10.000
<v Speaker 4>that the writers wanted to have it both ways. Yeah,

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:12.320
<v Speaker 4>just they wanted to have it both ways. But I agree,

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:18.040
<v Speaker 4>like in general, to Panga's pretty blameless and really really

0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 4>should have gone with Ricky.

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 3>But somebody else, somebody Y could have been a great

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 3>little distraction. I would have loved to have seen t

0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 3>Pega's been a summer in Paris.

0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Through Paris personally, someone who's never seen the show before,

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:38.680
<v Speaker 1>do you think that people thought that maybe to Panga

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 1>would end up with Sean after the episode where she

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:47.560
<v Speaker 1>takes care of him when he's sick with Sean, Yes.

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 4>No, because I think the whole point of that is, like,

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:52.320
<v Speaker 4>can we be you thought you think that would have

0:33:52.320 --> 0:33:55.320
<v Speaker 4>been So I just feel like the show, it was

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:57.240
<v Speaker 4>so locked into the show that there was.

0:33:57.280 --> 0:34:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Never once we get tasted it. I'm about me who

0:34:00.720 --> 0:34:02.600
<v Speaker 1>has who has not seen the rest of the show.

0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:04.320
<v Speaker 1>There was a part of me that watched that episode

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:08.200
<v Speaker 1>and thought, are they setting them up? Because Dawson's Creek

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:10.319
<v Speaker 1>We talked abou Dawson's Creek a lot, and and they

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:13.120
<v Speaker 1>did that sort of like Pacey and uh, you know,

0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:16.560
<v Speaker 1>like there was some friendship talked there in different obviously,

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:18.719
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of shows.

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:20.479
<v Speaker 3>I think we had done. I think Boy Meets World

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 3>had done so much work setting up the bromance between

0:34:23.600 --> 0:34:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Corey and Sean. The funny thing is Sean would never

0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:35.240
<v Speaker 3>cheat on Corey the way Corey cheats Ontoga. That's very

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 3>true that it would never happen.

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:44.359
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I feel like like in actual storytelling, bro

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 4>code and you know, the homosocial love between Corey and

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:54.080
<v Speaker 4>Sean is way stronger correct, way clearly, more clearly like

0:34:54.640 --> 0:35:02.440
<v Speaker 4>extrapolated and testiny relationship until basically now like now the

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:05.480
<v Speaker 4>love and romance it's like part of Corey's maturation to

0:35:05.560 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 4>move from that. But in terms of like iron clad

0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:13.359
<v Speaker 4>friendship testing like we've seen their relationship come through it all. Yeah,

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:15.600
<v Speaker 4>and there's almost no doubt every time. At the end

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:17.759
<v Speaker 4>of every episode with Corey and Shawn, you're like, well,

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:20.320
<v Speaker 4>these two are the best things for each other possible.

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:20.759
<v Speaker 18>Right.

0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 5>It's also kind of amazing when you talk about our

0:35:23.200 --> 0:35:25.120
<v Speaker 5>writers though, because when you think about how little they

0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:30.000
<v Speaker 5>actually use Tapanga up until what halfway through season five,

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.440
<v Speaker 5>and then in four or five episodes, all of a sudden,

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:35.200
<v Speaker 5>she's now the core of the show. It's now all

0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 5>Corey and Topanga. That switched really quick. Yeah, because we

0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:40.719
<v Speaker 5>went episode after episode going like, well.

0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Where the show are you?

0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Like, what the hell is going on? And now all

0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:45.560
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, boom, most important part of the show.

0:35:45.640 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 2>It happened like that.

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Crazy, We're rounding now to the end. Here here's Leah.

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:52.280
<v Speaker 1>She does believe it's a trap.

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 9>Hi, this is Lea from Pennsylvania.

0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:55.040
<v Speaker 3>Love the Pod.

0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:56.879
<v Speaker 9>I'm going to try real hard to fit this under

0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:58.479
<v Speaker 9>one minute, because boy do I have a lot to say.

0:35:58.800 --> 0:36:00.160
<v Speaker 9>I don't want to tell in that for the they

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:03.279
<v Speaker 9>are wrong about their character, but Danielle, you are wrong

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:04.160
<v Speaker 9>about to Panga.

0:36:04.200 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 3>I may notes let me try to get through this.

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 4>It was a trap.

0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:10.320
<v Speaker 9>Corey cannot read minds. She knows he cannot read minds.

0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:13.319
<v Speaker 9>She said that if he's not one hundred percent sure,

0:36:13.920 --> 0:36:16.480
<v Speaker 9>then he should go and talk to Lauren. Now, if

0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:18.400
<v Speaker 9>she knew that she was going to break up with him,

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:20.359
<v Speaker 9>if he talks to Lauren, she should have come out

0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:22.360
<v Speaker 9>and explicitly said that, and she did not do that.

0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:25.600
<v Speaker 9>So he goes to talk to Lauren and he becomes

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:27.640
<v Speaker 9>one hundred percent shore and he tells Topanga he is

0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:29.440
<v Speaker 9>now one hundred percent short, but then she breaks up

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:29.839
<v Speaker 9>with him.

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:31.360
<v Speaker 3>That is a trap.

0:36:31.560 --> 0:36:33.600
<v Speaker 9>However, the only thing I would say in to Panga's

0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:36.080
<v Speaker 9>defense is that it would make sense if she broke

0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:39.080
<v Speaker 9>up with him, because Tapanga never said to date Lauren,

0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:40.200
<v Speaker 9>and he went on a date with Lauren.

0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:41.560
<v Speaker 3>He went the ball in her jacket.

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 4>It was a full blown.

0:36:42.760 --> 0:36:44.920
<v Speaker 9>Date that might be going to breaking up. I am done,

0:36:44.960 --> 0:36:46.080
<v Speaker 9>Thank you have a good one.

0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:49.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's actually an easy fixed.

0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Gave us a couple of times. He glis right.

0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:54.560
<v Speaker 4>If the difference is to Panga expects him to just

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:57.040
<v Speaker 4>sit at Chubby's and talk to her for a couple

0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.319
<v Speaker 4>of minutes, and instead it takes him a day and

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:01.359
<v Speaker 4>a half and he goes on this whole that is

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:03.120
<v Speaker 4>that is you know, And that's an easy thing that

0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:05.080
<v Speaker 4>she could have said in that final scene. It's like, Yeah,

0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 4>I thought you needed to like talk to her. I

0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:08.640
<v Speaker 4>didn't realize it to go on a date with her

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 4>and beat you or whatever and.

0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Talk about whether or not you want the same type

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 3>of house and how many kids you want to have.

0:37:13.160 --> 0:37:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Yea god, Well, let's wrap it up with Casey, who

0:37:17.640 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 1>gives us a good feeling that you know, maybe it's

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:22.480
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily that important to figure out if it is

0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:22.799
<v Speaker 1>or not.

0:37:24.440 --> 0:37:27.560
<v Speaker 18>Hey guys, my name is Casey. I love the pod,

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:31.000
<v Speaker 18>but not as much as I loved Writer when I

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:32.080
<v Speaker 18>was in elementary school.

0:37:32.600 --> 0:37:33.640
<v Speaker 6>But that's another story.

0:37:34.160 --> 0:37:36.680
<v Speaker 18>So I actually don't think it matters if Topanga said

0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 18>a trap or not. Regardless of what her intention was

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:42.320
<v Speaker 18>when she told Corey to explore his feelings, she's allowed

0:37:42.320 --> 0:37:44.560
<v Speaker 18>to sit on it and reflect and decide that she's

0:37:44.640 --> 0:37:47.359
<v Speaker 18>been too hurt and it's over. Let's not forget that

0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:49.759
<v Speaker 18>this isn't the first time Corey has done something like this.

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:53.200
<v Speaker 2>There you go, Yeah, let's shoot, it's another good take.

0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:56.640
<v Speaker 3>You're right, doesn't matter. I can change my mind, but

0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:58.799
<v Speaker 3>it is for me, the big, the big moment that

0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:00.000
<v Speaker 3>sucks is and you.

0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:02.320
<v Speaker 5>I was just about to say, those three words changed

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:03.120
<v Speaker 5>the entire thing.

0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:04.920
<v Speaker 2>And it's those three words.

0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Because the point of those words is that that the end,

0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:10.399
<v Speaker 4>that it's a tragedy that Corey has walked into.

0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:11.880
<v Speaker 3>How dare you take my bait?

0:38:12.320 --> 0:38:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:12.839
<v Speaker 10>Yeah?

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:15.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I handed you this knife and you and told

0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:17.400
<v Speaker 5>you to plunge it in your heart and you did.

0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 3>And you did it and yeah, I know, but it

0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:24.480
<v Speaker 3>was but it's so so soap opera.

0:38:27.280 --> 0:38:34.880
<v Speaker 2>No, no, you do this shit happened.

0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:38.680
<v Speaker 1>We have some of the smartest and most thoughtful listeners

0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:41.759
<v Speaker 1>we did oh yeah, all the I picked some of

0:38:41.800 --> 0:38:44.439
<v Speaker 1>the best ones, but really literally all the clips felt

0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:46.560
<v Speaker 1>like it had that much research involved and that much

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:49.320
<v Speaker 1>actual feelings. And so we appreciate you guys sending in

0:38:49.360 --> 0:38:51.239
<v Speaker 1>your voice memos and we will continue to do this

0:38:51.320 --> 0:38:54.200
<v Speaker 1>when there's sort of big topics that we want to tackle.

0:38:54.000 --> 0:38:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Right, yes, hot button issues. Yes, Well, thank you all
