Speaker 1: It's nine Ogengine with Jenny Garth and Tory spelling.
Speaker 2: Okay, flirting with disaster. I feel like this is like
Speaker 2: a tagline in my entire life, but this episode we're
Speaker 2: about to embark on it is called flirting with disaster.
Speaker 2: Here we are nine O two one, OMG. Welcome good,
Speaker 2: Tory doing good. So guys, Jenny's off ye and sometimes
Speaker 2: Jenny does like the business, so Tory has to take
Speaker 2: it over today and you're doing good. Thank you. And
Speaker 2: you know, like Jen and I are yin and yang
Speaker 2: when it comes to that, like you know, she's you know,
Speaker 2: does buy the book, the procedural business stuff our whole
Speaker 2: relationship for thirty plus years. And I'm very you know,
Speaker 2: fly by the seat of my pants. You know, I'm
Speaker 2: the creative and like we it. So yeah, I'm going
Speaker 2: to do the business sto.
Speaker 1: Which is which is funny because our producer Lorraine was
Speaker 1: talking to us before we start talking to you guys,
Speaker 1: and she's like trying to go over something, and I go,
Speaker 1: We'll just swing it because it's like you and me,
Speaker 1: we can just wing it, wing it. I like, because
Speaker 1: I have an idea because Lorink tossed in a side
Speaker 1: tossed an idea out to us last week when Jenny
Speaker 1: was here, and I think this episode is perfect for it.
Speaker 1: Here's my question for you. I like this episode a lot, right,
Speaker 1: I really do. We can dig into it what I
Speaker 1: am noticing about this season, especially since I think Jason
Speaker 1: kind of became more in the producer role and I
Speaker 1: feel like he really was a producer, not just in
Speaker 1: the credits.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Agreed, there are three unique storylines. And you know how
Speaker 1: we used to talk about like an A storyline, of
Speaker 1: B storyline, a C storyline. Yes, this feels to me
Speaker 1: like we have an AAA. Three storylines, all major storylines,
Speaker 1: all equal in like length and importance, and totally disconnected
Speaker 1: from one another. The three storylines have nothing to do
Speaker 1: with each other whatsoever.
Speaker 2: Yet all three of them are quite literally flirting with disaster.
Speaker 1: They're juicy. All three stories. Well, the camping line is
Speaker 1: the comic relief. We'll talk about that. The three storylines
Speaker 1: are all important, good big storylines. They're all equal.
Speaker 2: Yes, where it used.
Speaker 1: To be like there would be the A storyline and
Speaker 1: the other two were sort of smaller. I think there's
Speaker 1: been a pivot in the sea this season that you
Speaker 1: have these three things going on at the same time,
Speaker 1: but they're not connected. Like, think about it. You do
Speaker 1: not have any scenes in this episode with anyone other
Speaker 1: than the camping people.
Speaker 2: This is true.
Speaker 1: Jenny only has scenes as Kelly with Brian and then
Speaker 1: to the doctor and the you know, Tera Tara. Then
Speaker 1: Tiffany only has her scenes with Colin Colan and his dad,
Speaker 1: Like the three things are completely disconnected.
Speaker 2: We used to call that like block shooting. So someone
Speaker 2: got real smart here and divvied it up where they
Speaker 2: probably quite literally shot them in sequence, like all these
Speaker 2: days we shoot the camping all these days. You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's totally makes sense and then cost effective. We've
Speaker 1: got so much to talk about, so so what we're.
Speaker 2: Talking about is season six, episode twenty six, called Flirting
Speaker 2: with Disaster, aired April third, Jen's Birthday, nineteen ninety six. Synopsis.
Speaker 2: Kelly Taylor is ready to take things to the next
Speaker 2: level with medical resident not doctor Greg until Tara. Tara
Speaker 2: takes matters into her own hands. Colon Colin's dad is
Speaker 2: back in town, but the Vietnam Vet doesn't exactly get
Speaker 2: a warm welcome from his estrange son. Meanwhile, the rest
Speaker 2: of the gang head to the Great Outdoors for spring break,
Speaker 2: where some cute, hm questionable Canadian girls campers come between
Speaker 2: the couples.
Speaker 1: Directed by David Semmel and written by John Eisendrath. Okay,
Speaker 1: my first question for you overall, do you like this episode?
Speaker 2: I do?
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite of the three storylines? I
Speaker 1: do sort of hooked you in the most, Oh I do.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, well, taking myself out of it, but keeping
Speaker 2: myself in the camping storyline actually was my least favorite.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree. I agree because it's just we'll
Speaker 1: talk about it. It's just sort of very random. It
Speaker 1: was silly.
Speaker 2: The Colon Valerie storyline, I loved it. I actually writing
Speaker 2: the acting as well acted. I know no one's gonna
Speaker 2: want to hear this, but I was like, ooh, I
Speaker 2: kind of like Valerie and Colon together.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Also, like, okay, two birds of
Speaker 1: a feather. I mean, there are two just dysfunctional, sort
Speaker 1: of disregulated messes that should be together. They always should
Speaker 1: have been together, do you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: I never thought, I never I don't get Kelly and him.
Speaker 1: He seems much better suited to her, and she's she's
Speaker 1: very motherly and caretaking with him, and she was quite
Speaker 1: good with the dad. Okay, let's get into it. Let's
Speaker 1: get into Okay, So I'm thinking for today, we're gonna
Speaker 1: try something new and everyone can tell us if they
Speaker 1: hate it or if they like it. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: each storyline individually. And I stole this idea from Lorraine.
Speaker 2: Because the three well our favorite.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the one we started with. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about Colon and Valor. Okay, so we've heard brief mentions
Speaker 1: of the dad, so he shows up. You realize there's
Speaker 1: sort of this very caustic relationship with tons of drama
Speaker 1: from the past, like he wasn't a good father. Obviously,
Speaker 1: this is half of why Colin has so many issues.
Speaker 1: Valerie is sort of trying to blend them together. What
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I actually felt for Colin for the first time. I've
Speaker 2: never seen him this raw. Maybe they hadn't written towards
Speaker 2: it before. You know, he was supposed to be you know,
Speaker 2: toxic before, and now he's actually vulnerable. And I wasn't
Speaker 2: mad that I was learning new stuff about someone who
Speaker 2: wasn't a regular like I actually was drawn in.
Speaker 1: Well, that's interesting, Like I felt.
Speaker 2: For this guy. Okay, So Mike Jenevie's played Graham Robbins.
Speaker 1: I knew he was familiar.
Speaker 2: He was great.
Speaker 1: He's done a ton of stuff, like he's kind of
Speaker 1: like that actor that does an episode of this, an
Speaker 1: episode of The Practice, an episode of you know, judging Amy,
Speaker 1: an episode of this, this, this, He's been in everything.
Speaker 2: I wonder if he had worked with my dad before.
Speaker 2: My dad always loyal, loved working with actors La Law.
Speaker 1: Before this, he'd done Star Trek, Deep Space nine, he
Speaker 1: Quantum Leap. He was not blind in real life, okay,
Speaker 1: which I kind of suspected same same because back then
Speaker 1: they weren't as you know, good about hiring actors that
Speaker 1: were what the part is correct, that's kind of changed
Speaker 1: as time has gone on. But I mean so many
Speaker 1: things like family matters, like oh, he did seventeen episodes
Speaker 1: of The Flash, the old series of the nineties. WHOA.
Speaker 1: But he's so familiar and you knew it right when
Speaker 1: he came in. So he's obviously like an excellent actor
Speaker 1: and he was believable.
Speaker 2: Believable, very seasoned, very Yeah.
Speaker 1: What was the scene where where Colin and Valerie are
Speaker 1: sitting on the counter like having a glass of wine?
Speaker 1: Are you directed to do that? Or is that a
Speaker 1: call they made up on the counter.
Speaker 2: It could go either way. David Simmeel directed this episode.
Speaker 2: He originally kind of was in charge of all of
Speaker 2: our like the sound and editing on that level, and
Speaker 2: then came in and started directing, and to this day
Speaker 2: is like a great established director. But he was kind
Speaker 2: of someone we were really good friends with. Okay, very cool,
Speaker 2: and it could have gone either way, but we loved
Speaker 2: working with David.
Speaker 1: Simmel's interesting is it seemed like a Jason Priestley directed episode.
Speaker 2: I was going to say that to you, yes.
Speaker 1: Because the camping especially, it was so him.
Speaker 2: Very and I feel like David and Jason have similar
Speaker 2: styles and sensibilities, especially with humor. And I'm sure because
Speaker 2: Jason's so close with David, they probably work that out.
Speaker 2: All the guys were like, let's do this, Let's do that. Great,
Speaker 2: great great. I was wondering, though, so Colin, is he
Speaker 2: just not a coke addict anymore? Is it okay that
Speaker 2: he drinks?
Speaker 1: He thought the same exact thing I thought, Suddenly he
Speaker 1: just doesn't do anymore? But he's drinking like he shouldn't
Speaker 1: even be what, Like.
Speaker 2: So is he an addict?
Speaker 1: Is he?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: But I guess he's just fine now. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just crazy. That whole thing is so crazy because I mean,
Speaker 1: we'll get into it in the Terra Tara storyline too,
Speaker 1: But anyway, so there's sort of this like drama with
Speaker 1: the dad and there's almost that sort of like physical altercation.
Speaker 1: And then what did you think when Valerie says, like,
Speaker 1: if you don't stop him, I'm going to.
Speaker 2: I liked it because I like how she he listens
Speaker 2: to her. He didn't listen to Kelly. I want to
Speaker 2: say he good point, beects Valerie. He didn't respect Kelly.
Speaker 2: Is that true?
Speaker 1: Also a good point? Yeah, she sort of has the
Speaker 1: upper hand for multiple reasons. I feel like she has
Speaker 1: the upper hand minus the money, but she's also the money. True.
Speaker 2: There's just a dichotomy and a chemistry between them that
Speaker 2: really works for me. I believe it. I feel like
Speaker 2: it's more of an equal playing field. And maybe it's
Speaker 2: because we have so much invested in Kelly for so
Speaker 2: long that we're like no, no, no, don't be with him,
Speaker 2: And with Valerie, we're like, oh yeah, be with him.
Speaker 1: They seem like a more realistic couple for sure, and
Speaker 1: she does mother him a bit, but he listens to her.
Speaker 1: I mean, I even like she's cooking, she's she's making
Speaker 1: the dinner for the dad.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: She the dad obviously is a drinking sort of issue. Also,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of it's abuse with these females, but
Speaker 1: she's very care of taking and she really wants them
Speaker 1: to work it out. Now again, we went from volatile
Speaker 1: to a rainbow unicorns and rainbows a tad too quickly,
Speaker 1: you know, and suddenly like Colin has that line where
Speaker 1: he's like he may be blind, but he taught me
Speaker 1: to see. And it's just like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it was sappy, but I was. I
Speaker 2: was so there for the ride the whole time that
Speaker 2: when it happened, I actually was like, wait, can we
Speaker 2: go back to what you were saying. When you were
Speaker 2: saying like they have that altercation that that was That
Speaker 2: was interesting for me because it's so hard with men
Speaker 2: and their fathers because I feel like that's not typically
Speaker 2: a female thing, but men testosterone. You know, you start
Speaker 2: with these little boys that you're holding and teaching them,
Speaker 2: you know, swing their first bat and doing a ride
Speaker 2: a bike, and then all of a sudden they grow
Speaker 2: into men and they're more of your equal and strength.
Speaker 2: And seeing a father and son two men like go
Speaker 2: at it. I was taken aback, but I was like,
Speaker 2: is this common? Is there a point? Not with everyone?
Speaker 2: But I often wonder do boys kind of you know,
Speaker 2: keep your cool, keep it your cool. It's their dad.
Speaker 2: They look up to them, and then physically they don't
Speaker 2: have to look up to them anymore. And do they
Speaker 2: ever get to like clashing and like going at each other.
Speaker 1: Common as they sort of you know, like you don't
Speaker 1: see Jim Walsh and a Brandon doing that? Okay, now,
Speaker 1: fair fair, But I think maybe with these it's very stereotypical,
Speaker 1: like a TV thing, like the caustic relationship and the
Speaker 1: the drama you know between the two and it goes
Speaker 1: to blows and then they've worked it out thanks to Valerie.
Speaker 1: That being said, I enjoyed that whole storyline, Like, I
Speaker 1: liked it. It's kind of far fetched and ridiculous at parts, but.
Speaker 2: I really yeah, it made me think, like, what's going
Speaker 2: to happen with these two? Now? Maybe I don't want
Speaker 2: him to leave. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I right, I get it.
Speaker 2: It was the first time I liked call him, that's all.
Speaker 2: I can't say I like him, but yeah, like fine engaging.
Speaker 1: I mean, no, you can like him. People do. But
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, it's an interesting we're moving
Speaker 1: that storyline along, Okay, Yeah, let's move over to Taratara. Right,
Speaker 1: she's getting unhinged real fast, a little too fast, like
Speaker 1: really really fast, a little too fast. I totally agree.
Speaker 1: She's gone full throttle cray in a blink of an eye. Now,
Speaker 1: I thought this, and then it was interesting as I
Speaker 1: was like looking up trivia from this episode. I love
Speaker 1: that she's ordered to somewhat expensive bouquet of flowers and
Speaker 1: she has no money. How did she pay for those?
Speaker 2: That was the one thing that stood out to me,
Speaker 2: aside from why is Colin drinking? Is the addict? You know? Longer? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: she'd be on the streets if Kelly and take her in.
Speaker 2: She has no money too, very expensive arrangements.
Speaker 1: How I'm slightly frustrated because you know, like I say
Speaker 1: this sometimes in another show we do. It's a little
Speaker 1: bit of a Three's Company episode to me, when it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's done this, and now now the doctor won't talk
Speaker 1: to Kelly because of this, and it's just like, oh God,
Speaker 1: can these people just it's not a plot? I like, right,
Speaker 1: I find it's so frustrating, and maybe I'm supposed to,
Speaker 1: but like, if just the doctor and Kelly spoke, then
Speaker 1: we could resolve all this and realize that Tara Tar
Speaker 1: is crazy faster whatever. So okay, so we go to
Speaker 1: the beginning and she's she's real crazy right from the start.
Speaker 2: So you know what I didn't like. I didn't like
Speaker 2: that last week's episode, we on their storyline went out
Speaker 2: with Kelly and him kissing on the deck. So for me,
Speaker 2: when we came boom right back into that, I thought
Speaker 2: it was maybe the same night and it was a continuation,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't. It was another no.
Speaker 1: Correct. I think it's I think we're sort of supposed
Speaker 1: to assume that they are kind of casually seeing each
Speaker 1: other regularly. It hasn't gotten too hot and heavy yet,
Speaker 1: and we see her just right from the start getting
Speaker 1: really psycho like. And forgive us for the use of
Speaker 1: the lingo, like we well, we're just gonna use the
Speaker 1: words that come but we don't. We're not trying to
Speaker 1: like actually judge her mental illness. So you know, she's
Speaker 1: doing that voice. I can't remember if this is this
Speaker 1: episode or the one before. Oh yeah, I'm Jelly Taylor.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Did you think she did a good job imitating Kelly?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah. So it's getting disturbing right like right away,
Speaker 1: they're really like amping this up.
Speaker 2: Well, her bangs are disturbing to me.
Speaker 1: But because the hairtag's coming soon, we're gonna get that weird.
Speaker 1: So you know, she's sort of manipulating the situation. And
Speaker 1: then she plays the like, oh, David doesn't want to
Speaker 1: go with me, but Kelly makes him and the whole thing,
Speaker 1: and like, did you notice how she touches the doctor
Speaker 1: when she's gonna be his partner in the bowling? And
Speaker 1: you could see he did good acting of like I'm uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm gonna act like I'm not uncomfortable. She
Speaker 1: really liked him, and then it's just when she pulls
Speaker 1: him aside and like, oh, Kelly really likes you, but
Speaker 1: she's gonna, you know, go off the rails, and you're
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: Let's go back. Though, I got to say at the
Speaker 2: peach Pit. I'm still you know, I'm still upset that Kelly.
Speaker 2: I feel like she brought this girl into her house.
Speaker 2: She's her caretaker, she chose this. But she's like going
Speaker 2: out with Greg every night and the medical student not
Speaker 2: doctor and uh And Tara's like, well, I don't want
Speaker 2: to be a third wheel. I'm like, duh, who does?
Speaker 2: And you're a recovering addict and you're just that. And
Speaker 2: then also when Kelly asked David to be her date,
Speaker 2: I was like, no, just say like, hey, David's coming,
Speaker 2: You're not a third wheel. We're all going as friends.
Speaker 2: Why say that? But if that had further plug Tera Tara, Like.
Speaker 1: I think she just doesn't know that Tara. Tara is
Speaker 1: getting unhinged. I think she thinks she's just kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, a girl from the streets, doesn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of money, doesn't have friends, doesn't have family, who
Speaker 1: was an addict. But I don't think Kelly realizes how
Speaker 1: unwell she is. But that being said, it's like the
Speaker 1: whole thing.
Speaker 2: Is a rehab.
Speaker 1: You're not third It's like the doctor dating the patient.
Speaker 1: The patient has had another patient home with them.
Speaker 2: It's just all doesn't think they talk to them while
Speaker 2: they were there about you know, find yourself after this.
Speaker 2: It's not you know, don't go jump into new relationships romantic.
Speaker 2: So Kelly has heard this and she's still saying a date.
Speaker 2: I don't know, it doesn't matter. I mean, Tera Tar
Speaker 2: is too far. Nothing Kelly could say or do would
Speaker 2: stop the madness.
Speaker 1: And you're just seeing her like Tara, Tara with the
Speaker 1: dagger eyes right like staring at them, and then she's
Speaker 1: so thrilled when he breaks it off with her. I
Speaker 1: mean just like, it's so creepy. She's so thrilled, and
Speaker 1: then she does the like evil flower trick. Although, can
Speaker 1: we talk about Kelly's blue suit for going to the
Speaker 1: That was crazy? That was nuts.
Speaker 2: It is the season of the suit though, I'm.
Speaker 1: Just like, were we all? I was not wearing suits
Speaker 1: in the nineties like that, when I was twenty whatever whatever.
Speaker 1: She was very dressed up for the you know, doctor's
Speaker 1: appointment with the like white pumps.
Speaker 2: The whole thing was like, but I was very into
Speaker 2: her outfit on the bowling.
Speaker 1: Tea, Yeah that was more casual and cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Taratar actually looked cute. Yeah, and they all were
Speaker 1: getting along. The thing that I found totally unrealistic is
Speaker 1: that the doctor would have come out. He's not gonna
Speaker 1: just take the flowers that say I don't want to
Speaker 1: see you, and then she comes. He's gonna come just
Speaker 1: as the nice guy that he is. Yes, and also
Speaker 1: that he's a doctor. Can you imagine she goes and says,
Speaker 1: like to some other doctor, Hey, this doctor started dating me,
Speaker 1: and now he won't even speak to me, like he
Speaker 1: doesn't know. There's no way he's not coming out. He
Speaker 1: would have come out. It's just so just to.
Speaker 2: Save his own butt. You're right, can't call him a
Speaker 2: doctor medical.
Speaker 1: I think if you're a resident, you're a doctor. He
Speaker 1: is a doctor. That's why the whole thing is so
Speaker 1: inappropriate or whatever, like.
Speaker 2: But why is he taking Tara? Tara's word? Then he
Speaker 2: knows an addict's mentality, He's been there. This is.
Speaker 1: Ultimately, even in her crazy way, she makes a good
Speaker 1: point like they probably shouldn't have been dating fair, but
Speaker 1: it's like exactly, and he sort of does, but like
Speaker 1: he should say, Bara said, blah blah blah, like whatever.
Speaker 1: It just drives me crazy that they're all paying so
Speaker 1: much attention to terror when you're like, I don't know
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: Everyone's trusting her, You're right, for no good reason.
Speaker 1: Right, They're all just like listening to her, like she's
Speaker 1: not an addict and you know she's got issues. So anyway,
Speaker 1: we're leveling that up quickly, right, Like, I can't remember
Speaker 1: where we left off of the in the episode with her,
Speaker 1: it's like she's super happy he won't see her. She's
Speaker 1: thrilled about it.
Speaker 2: Just clever of the game on Wow.
Speaker 1: First of all, that's what I was going to say too.
Speaker 1: I just don't see that she would be smart enough
Speaker 1: for that. But why, I don't know why. I guess
Speaker 1: why is she so evil? We don't know that in
Speaker 1: her background yet?
Speaker 2: Right do we find out I don't remember.
Speaker 1: I can't remember. If we find out why she became
Speaker 1: so crazy, she becomes more crazy. This is nothing.
Speaker 2: This reminded me of the Bridget Fonda.
Speaker 1: Oh single white female totally.
Speaker 3: Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know, are
Speaker 3: you a Charlotte? In nineteen ninety seven, my life was
Speaker 3: forever changed when I took on the role of Charlotte
Speaker 3: York on a new HBO show called Sex.
Speaker 1: And the City.
Speaker 3: As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte navigate relationships
Speaker 3: in New York City. The show helped push once unacceptable
Speaker 3: conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative
Speaker 3: around women and sex.
Speaker 2: We all saw ourselves in them.
Speaker 3: As they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships.
Speaker 2: Now I want to connect with you.
Speaker 3: And share untold stories and all the behind the scenes
Speaker 3: together with special guests.
Speaker 2: What will begin with Sex and the City.
Speaker 3: Will evolve into talks about themes that are still so
Speaker 3: relevant today. Are You a Charlotte is a much more
Speaker 3: than just rewatching our beloved show. It brings the past
Speaker 3: and the present together as we talk with heart, humor,
Speaker 3: and of.
Speaker 2: Course some optimism.
Speaker 3: Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 3: Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: Okay, I noticed two in this episode. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of pop culture references, like they give a Forest Gump
Speaker 1: shout out, they do the Chris Farley in a vonder
Speaker 1: by the river, like we'll.
Speaker 2: Get to that.
Speaker 1: Maybe they are sort of ripped from the headlines, but
Speaker 1: they're ripped from like pop culture because like, single white female,
Speaker 1: that's what this is.
Speaker 2: Who's the other person? Sorry, Bridget Fonda, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Fonda and the Jennifer Jason Lee.
Speaker 2: Jennifer Jason Lee.
Speaker 1: Wow, she really that really was and it was nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety two, so like the storyline is totally from that.
Speaker 1: It's obvious, especially since we're going to get the haircut soon,
Speaker 1: which is exactly what she does. Yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: is single white female, right, like oh boy? So yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't know the doctor would have come out.
Speaker 1: I just stand by that he would have come out
Speaker 1: and talked to her. He's not going to just be
Speaker 1: that guy. Those flowers, actually, the flowers were not great.
Speaker 2: They never are a nine or two one O. Sorry.
Speaker 2: I loved all of our prop people, but I just
Speaker 2: got to say.
Speaker 1: Right, those are like, you know, grocery store flowers shoved
Speaker 1: in a weird face, which can.
Speaker 2: Be great nowadays.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean right, Whole Foods has like those
Speaker 1: were not. I wasn't like, oh, those are the most beautiful.
Speaker 2: Like, so here's the things. Okay, So Tara, Tara apparently
Speaker 2: has money because they were very large, both of them.
Speaker 1: Everyone on the internet questions, how is she paying for
Speaker 1: these flowers? No taste, no taste, And nobody's just like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll send those flowers, Like where's the cre a card?
Speaker 1: I don't know that was? That was far fetch for me. Okay,
Speaker 1: should we now talk about what is my my favorite
Speaker 1: storyline of the episode, because it's so silly. First of all,
Speaker 1: I love the fact that you know, when they're fishing
Speaker 1: off that freeway overpass, they're not at a lake. It's like,
Speaker 1: where are they camping?
Speaker 2: I don't I'm trying. I don't remember where we shot it,
Speaker 2: but I got to tell you, watching it again after
Speaker 2: all these years took me right back to it and
Speaker 2: I have to find it. There's this iconic photo that
Speaker 2: everyone does it now. But keep in mind, this was
Speaker 2: the nineties and I had never heard of this, and
Speaker 2: we all had our disposable cameras and digital cameras then,
Speaker 2: and it was the first time Ian was like, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: let's do this shot. So all of us doing the
Speaker 2: camping thing where we put the camera in the middle
Speaker 2: and someone pays their yeah, and we all go over and.
Speaker 1: Down at it and we all are kind of eight
Speaker 1: is enough? Remember the opening credits of eight is enough
Speaker 1: where they're all looking down.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, but do you know that's like a thing.
Speaker 2: Now I have to find this photo. It's so great
Speaker 2: and it's like a great memory that we all.
Speaker 1: It must have been fun, like I imagine that y'all.
Speaker 1: First of all, it's fun to like be out of.
Speaker 2: The office location. Yeah, it was so much. We had
Speaker 2: so much fun.
Speaker 1: It's a ridiculous storyline though. First of all, the fact
Speaker 1: that they call you their dates. Why would Joe say
Speaker 1: that they all did it.
Speaker 2: Well Joe, But Joe like brings it up like these
Speaker 2: aren't your with our dates, it's your girlfriends.
Speaker 1: I know, I to that was bizarre. Second of all,
Speaker 1: like who cares if you like it was a mountain
Speaker 1: out of a molehill a little bit like who cares
Speaker 1: that they like went over and changed his tire and
Speaker 1: flirting and you girls are so peeved about it, and
Speaker 1: then it becomes sort of a caper. That's why I.
Speaker 2: Thought, like, oh, very like vacation like Griswold.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, like oh, then then the Canadian girls are like, oh,
Speaker 1: they've got the guys like it's all like oh wait,
Speaker 1: Kline and Sinker like it was. It's almost like that
Speaker 1: script was written by someone totally.
Speaker 2: Different and perhaps that portion was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it's very goofy, and you know, he's like
Speaker 1: makes a Forest Gump joke, and then we're sleeping on
Speaker 1: a ron down by the.
Speaker 2: River, like I feel like Jason add at that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's a line where I am certain
Speaker 1: it was ad libe. So when they're fishing, there's like
Speaker 1: a part Jason Priestley says something like we're just a
Speaker 1: freak guy's vision and you literally see Ian crack up.
Speaker 1: He's just like he laughs like it's such a genuine laugh.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, his vision. The three of them are
Speaker 1: so like, first of all, it's weird that it's not Brian,
Speaker 1: that it's like Joe. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, that's a little weird that now they're
Speaker 1: throwing in Joe, but he's so cute. But the three
Speaker 1: of them are so like, I don't know, it's just
Speaker 1: very goofy comedy, Like I don't even know how to explain.
Speaker 2: He keeps up say, you know, there's there's a shorthand
Speaker 2: with the boys that he but to that note, Joe
Speaker 2: keeping up with them. I thought Susan kept up with
Speaker 2: Claire and Donna, sure, right, And I really enjoyed the
Speaker 2: comedy banter between Donna Claire.
Speaker 1: It's all fun to watch, like the three of you girls,
Speaker 1: and like, even though the storyline is so silly and ridiculous,
Speaker 1: like h beyond, but yet amusing. I guess it's very teenager.
Speaker 1: He kind of like, oh, I'm gonna be real mad
Speaker 1: that he's changing the tire over there, and then they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we should run back, and like the binoculars and just
Speaker 1: the whole all of it. But it's totally amusing to watch.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely three different shows. Like I literally
Speaker 1: was watching, so you figure the show's forty five minutes
Speaker 1: each thing, it's like fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: Okay, so modern day what would those three?
Speaker 1: I mean, one is very nine O two on oe, right,
Speaker 1: even two felt very nine o two on oe. But
Speaker 1: the other one is like it's very goofy, sort of
Speaker 1: like comedy trying to be a.
Speaker 2: Sitcom with a little bit of like campy like Stummer
Speaker 2: cheesy sitcom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like the Modern Family. Caress went to Tahoe.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like.
Speaker 2: It's like that, And remember how we were so aligned
Speaker 2: with the shows kind of lining up with real lifetime
Speaker 2: periods and seasons now where it's like a half year difference,
Speaker 2: Like right now it's winter break basically in real life, and.
Speaker 1: It was raining, and I did you notice one thing?
Speaker 1: First of all, there's also filler in each episode or
Speaker 1: somebody's gone, like we really need to start each episode
Speaker 1: with like a music montage. Every episode lately has started
Speaker 1: like shots of Rodeo drive, shots of Beverly Hills, And
Speaker 1: this one is like we have a good, solid couple
Speaker 1: minutes of you guys loading the suitcases of this mini
Speaker 1: van and you're giving like there's almost like some like
Speaker 1: a sticky bit between you and Joe where you're like,
Speaker 1: I can't tell if he's if you're having a tussle
Speaker 1: or if he's mad because you've got too many suitcases.
Speaker 1: But there's this like moment where you're kind of like
Speaker 1: and there's all this like it's a music video. The
Speaker 1: first minute of the thing is a music video.
Speaker 2: Yeah that loading, Yeah, you know, not into.
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. I watched it twice because I
Speaker 1: was like, am I missing anybody?
Speaker 2: I feel like Joe's very handsy with Donna.
Speaker 1: On this episode. I'm not mad about it, Like there's
Speaker 1: a lot of yeah, I look, I still think he
Speaker 1: should have been endgame. I don't know why we like.
Speaker 1: I think it only gets this season endgame, like pre
Speaker 1: and fine, fine pre game. I couldn't kept him around
Speaker 1: for a whole other season. Sure, he's amusing. I thought
Speaker 1: he was so cute. I was bummed when he left.
Speaker 1: There's a dirty line again. I think that Claire and
Speaker 1: Steve have a dirty double entendre that really about the
Speaker 1: tent top a tent or something like this. I forget
Speaker 1: what it was, but it was something, Oh my.
Speaker 2: God, I can't get your tent ou Yeah, all the
Speaker 2: polls they can't find.
Speaker 1: It was amusing. It was definitely the comic relief. But
Speaker 1: I'm interested next week now that we're kind of analyzing it.
Speaker 1: If it's the same thing where it's like three storylines
Speaker 1: none connected, a funny one and two dramatic ones. I
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see. I mean, we know Tar is
Speaker 1: gonna get crazier and crazier.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's does Greg come back and.
Speaker 1: I think she figures out what she did, like I
Speaker 1: think Kelly figures it out.
Speaker 2: Like Michael Diets and I were very good friends, and
Speaker 2: he's still come on and he's an amazing produce.
Speaker 1: He's gonna come on. He's totally coming on. So this
Speaker 1: was his last episode, which is a bummer. They just
Speaker 1: kind of like get rid of him and we're all
Speaker 1: like left with this. Like I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's the big misunderstanding, which I hate. It's like, oh, God,
Speaker 1: talk to each other and figure out that this girl's unwell,
Speaker 1: but what are you gonna do? So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Everyone needs to decide if they like us going through
Speaker 1: it storyline by storyline or if they like us going
Speaker 1: scene by scene. Yeah, there was some weird fashion and
Speaker 1: some good fashion. You will love to tie the white
Speaker 1: shirt up.
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like I was like, you
Speaker 2: know what, I'm still just not showing quite enough belly here. Oh,
Speaker 2: let me let me show my what what is that
Speaker 2: your uh middrift? No, what is the bone? Your peck blab?
Speaker 2: You're glavical like between your lungs, your ribs that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: It's like it's like they gave me a shirt and
Speaker 2: it's like we're on location and I'm like it's quite
Speaker 2: not quite sure enough, So I'm just gonna ta good.
Speaker 1: I thought the boys actually looked good too.
Speaker 2: They did, and Timberlains are like really like on train
Speaker 2: at that point.
Speaker 1: Camping thing. This is my favorite part of the camping
Speaker 1: That the car is parked in a parking lot at
Speaker 1: the camping.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, Like what's wrong with that?
Speaker 1: Who does that? You? You don't park it, you don't
Speaker 1: right next to a camping lot, and maybe in Malibu
Speaker 1: on the beach, but like they're supposed to be camping,
Speaker 1: pull up the car in this asphalt parking lot and
Speaker 1: then just like their tent is literally right in front
Speaker 1: of the van. That's the other thing that's so absurd,
Speaker 1: Like the van's not like down the road. They're just
Speaker 1: sleeping in it and you can see all the tents
Speaker 1: from it. I'm like, I need to know where they
Speaker 1: phoned it, because it definitely was not anywhere where you
Speaker 1: would be camping.
Speaker 2: It was like Griffith Park, No lose a drive could
Speaker 2: have been like seeing me Valley like it was. I
Speaker 2: felt like we drove like an hour forty five minutes,
Speaker 2: like somewhere.
Speaker 1: It seemed like they were fishing in a river way
Speaker 1: off of a bridge. I was like, what, this doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like a lake, doesn't feel like camping all that
Speaker 1: gear anyway, what do you rate this?
Speaker 2: Well, just basing all the flannels alone, it's gonna be
Speaker 2: to high score. I'm gonna go with y.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be a little higher.
Speaker 2: I'm giving it a nine again for my You know,
Speaker 2: this is how I rate what I really enjoy and
Speaker 2: I watch most of them on my phone. I never
Speaker 2: fast forward.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I didn't eitherything else I never do. I
Speaker 1: never do, but I know you have. But there are
Speaker 1: moments that I might want to and I don't even
Speaker 1: have that. Like I was like, I am totally enjoying
Speaker 1: all of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, same. Okay, So next week, you guys do your
Speaker 2: homework because we have season six, episode twenty seven, Strike
Speaker 2: the Match, And all I'm gonna say is Donna's big
Speaker 2: moment in her music video.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 2: I'm in a music video and there's so many outtakes
Speaker 2: from this music video that exists, and.
Speaker 1: I can, oh my gosh, we need them. Can we
Speaker 1: post them? We need to let people see them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like you have them. And Christina Lisa's
Speaker 2: mom took still to this day one of my favorite
Speaker 2: photos ever of me, and it was during this episode
Speaker 2: and styled for this So.
