00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: April Kelly and where is April Kelly and what is

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: the story of April Kelly? And I was able to

17
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: track her down and she reached out to me. I

18
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: reached out to her, She got back to me right away.

19
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: We had a wonderful conversation and I asked her on

20
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: behalf of Will and Writer and myself. I asked her

21
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: if she would be a guest on our pod, and

22
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: it didn't take her long to say no before we

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: got out, would you know. Yeah, it was pretty much

24
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: like that. She's been incredibly private, right. Yeah, she's basically

25
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: left Hollywood. She moved away, and she moved away. She

26
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: has a curly separate career. I mean, she has an

27
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: incredible Hollywood career. She's had multiple incredible careers. Um, and

28
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: she yeah, she's overall just kind of an incredible, fascinating

29
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: her sin And she said she just doesn't want to

30
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: dip her toe back into this world. And it had

31
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: nothing to do with our dear listeners, That had nothing

32
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: to do with the three of us. Um, she just

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: wasn't interested. But what she was interested in doing was

34
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: writing me a letter that I could read on the podcast,

35
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: so that her, her voice and her words, um had

36
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: a place, but that they she just wasn't gonna appear

37
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: on the podcast. So, without further ado, here is a

38
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: pod Meets World letter from April Kelly. Greetings to all

39
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: you pod meets World listeners. I bet some of you

40
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: think acting on a TV show must be the sweetest

41
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: gig on earth, especially for a kid. Let me give

42
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: you a sobering dose of reality. It is actual work,

43
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: taking up maybe forty hours of your week, and you

44
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: still have to go to school. Every show with underage

45
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: actors must have two adults on set tasked with ensuring

46
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: the safety and welfare of those mini tornadoes in human form.

47
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: One is the welfare worker who makes sure nobody like

48
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: me slap someone upside the head, and the other is

49
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: the teacher who keeps their studies on par with regular

50
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: school so they will not be too far behind their

51
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: peers when the show was canceled or goes on hiatus.

52
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: So you have a full time job, You have all

53
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: that study and homework, and on top of that, you

54
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: are dealing with the unique issues that come with working

55
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: on any show. What kind of issues you ask for? Starters.

56
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: In order to play to Pengo with those Botta Chelly

57
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: curls we producers decided would be so freaking cool, Danielle

58
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: had to arrive several hours earlier than the rest of

59
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: the cast so her mom and a hairdresser could turn

60
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: her long, beautiful hair into the ten thousand, six d

61
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight individual ten drils that created the character's iconic looks.

62
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't exactly ten thousand, six twenty eight, But

63
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: trust me, it was a bunch. How long do you

64
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: think you could sit still and be tortured like that?

65
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: Or how about Will? He was only seventeen when we

66
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: learned him from New York to l A to play

67
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: Corey's big brother Eric. His parents were back east, and

68
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: he didn't know anybody on the West Coast but his

69
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: own older brother. Can you imagine being that isolated as

70
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: a teenager, especially starting a new job surrounded by a

71
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: bunch of complete strangers and really wanting to impress them

72
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: enough to get your career going. As Writer went through

73
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: the normal puberty fueled brooding and angst, he simultaneously appeared

74
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: to wrestle with the very concept of being an actor

75
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: at my request. At my request, his teacher occasionally slipped

76
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: me one of his essays or other written assignments, and

77
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: it was obvious even back then that playing best friend

78
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: Sean would only be the precursor of tapping into skills

79
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: he would feel more comfortable with, like writing and directing.

80
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: With all that personal challenge, long work weeks and keeping

81
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: up with school assignments, those three child actors never once

82
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: let their personal stress leak through into their performances. To

83
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: Pango was ever the girl whose insight and wisdom came

84
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: wrapped in endearing daffiness. Eric's impish smile and hilarious shallowness

85
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: never undermined his position as protector of his younger siblings,

86
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: and Sean remained the supportive and steadfast friend each of

87
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: us wishes we had, even in the face of the

88
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: character's struggles with a family situation that was not always healthy.

89
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: Their unflagging professionalism sharply contrasted with the childish antics, ridiculous demands,

90
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: and surly attitudes I had run across with adult actors

91
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: throughout my career. Because they always behaved with consummate professionalism,

92
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: it was easy for me to forget sometimes that they

93
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: were children, which is why I was so delighted that

94
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: first October when the wardrobe mistress called me at home

95
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: to tell me the entire cast of kids intended to

96
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: show up in Halloween costumes the next morning. I remember

97
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: scrambling to find a photographer to capture their spooky finery

98
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: and paying for it myself, as the studio and network

99
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: had no interest in spending their own money to memorialize

100
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: the event in my long career of writing and producing

101
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: situation comedies, one hour dramas, TV movies and miniseries. Those

102
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: photos where I posed with the cast and my four

103
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: ft long flowered clown tie and my high healed sneakers

104
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: represent the one and only time I ever intentionally had

105
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: my picture taken with any actor. Ugly studio politics swirling

106
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: far outside the notice of the young cast precluded my

107
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: returning to the show I created for a second year,

108
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: but I knew quote my kids unquote would be in

109
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: good hands with director David Trainer, also a consummate professional

110
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: and the perfect man to protect them from the worst

111
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: of the disgusting behavior and dismissive attitude displayed by a

112
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: certain other jerk who shall remain nameless. Even though I

113
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: spent only one season on Boy Meat's World, I have

114
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: always kept happy memories of that time, and I have

115
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: the pictures to prove it. Wow. So there you go.

116
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: That got me emotional. There's our our letter from a brokelly.

117
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: What a lost voice in that room. It's intense that

118
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: she was so aware of who we were and um

119
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: what our experience was like, because yeah, I mean we

120
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: we barely were aware. I look back and I'm like,

121
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: what was happening? Um, So it's so nice that um,

122
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and she was there for us. Yeah, listeners,

123
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: you should google her and see what she's done. The

124
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: career this woman has had on television, that this woman

125
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: has had, it's phenomenal. It really writes books now too,

126
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: by the way, you guys can find her books mysteries. Yeah,

127
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: she can write. I mean she can. She can blow

128
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: doors off. I mean it's insane. Yeah, absolutely, I mean

129
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can tell from that letter. But check

130
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: out her books and google her and see some of

131
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: the people she's worked with and show she's created and

132
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: helped run and I mean so much too. As we've

133
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: learned doing this show. Um, is how many things go uncredited.

134
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: You know, how many jobs people get because they come

135
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: in and are asked to fix something somebody else did,

136
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: But depending on how much they fixed it, that may

137
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: never even your name never even gets credited. You're just

138
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: kind of discarded and the original person gets all the credit.

139
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: And so there's a ton of things you know that

140
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure she wasn't even credited for. But the things

141
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: she's she is credited for. Our mind blowing. So anyway. UM,

142
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: I I sincerely wish she was willing to be a

143
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: guest on the podcast because I would love for you

144
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: all to hear her voice in her own voice. UM.

145
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: But with that said, I one hundred percent to understand

146
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: why she does not want to do it. Yeah. We've

147
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: also said from the beginning that we don't ever want

148
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: anybody to come on here and be uncomfortable. The last

149
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: thing we're looking for is trying to have anybody come

150
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: out here and be even slightly uncomfortable about talking about anything.

151
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 1: And so you know, again she if she even has

152
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: that moment of hesitation, then it's like that it's not

153
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: worth it. It's just I know, I want you to

154
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: feel that way. You know. We also asked Lily if

155
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: Lily was interested in coming on and and Lily very

156
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: politely declined, And I wrote her a second time, uh,

157
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: telling her how much we'd love to have her on,

158
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: And she declined a second time, and I said, I

159
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: totally get it. I will no longer bug you, just

160
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: so you know you have an open door policy. If

161
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: you ever change your mind, we would love to have

162
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: you on. Um. And so yeah, for you know, we've

163
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: we've discussed it there's Um, there's a lot of good

164
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: and and hard that comes with talking this openly and

165
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: looking at your experiences and looking at yourself in this way. Um,

166
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: and I understand why people don't want to do it.

167
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: And as always, like I said, Lily, open door policy,

168
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: Ben open door policy, April, open door policy. Um, if

169
00:09:48,720 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: they change their minds, I'd love to have them all right, Well,

170
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: call us gluttons for punishment. No break. We talked about it.

171
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: Should we take a break between season one and season two? Where?

172
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: Should we just keep going? And you know what, we

173
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: love each other, We love the show and we love

174
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: you guys so much. We decided who needs a break?

175
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: Will sleep when we're dead? Sweet sweet sleep, Sweet sweet

176
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: sleep of death. I'd like to change my vote? Is

177
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: it too late to change my vote? It's a little

178
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: too late? Well, fair enough. I was thinking about it

179
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: before we jump into season two. Do you guys remember

180
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: the hiatus, the summer hiatus between season one and season

181
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: two and what you did and and all that. Do

182
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: you remember also when you heard that the show was

183
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: picked up? Did we know when season? Like? How far

184
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: after season when ended? We did we know? That's an

185
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: interesting question. I kind of I don't remember it did.

186
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: Now it seems inevitable that we would be picked up.

187
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: So but at the time, like we've talked about, when

188
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: we were filming the last episode, there was the sense

189
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: that it could be the end. So it wasn't for sure,

190
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: but I know what our rays were good. I think

191
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: we were pretty confident. I think there was there was

192
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: a sense that it could end. You know, there was

193
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: there was no guarantee. Um also, maybe I felt that

194
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: way because we knew people could get fired at any moment,

195
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: but certainly, like I, I like there was a sense.

196
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: I remember there was a sense of we were getting

197
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: twenty four share on some episodes, which was a big deal.

198
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: And I remember there was a sense that we were hit.

199
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: So I actually don't even know if I can't explain

200
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: it perfectly. Four people were watching the show in so

201
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: ratings used to work. The Nielsen ratings used to work.

202
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming they still do, but no one

203
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: really cares about them anymore. As in the same way,

204
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: but it used to work that you would have a

205
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: share of the audience um or, and I don't know

206
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: how it worked out. Was at a percentage? Was it

207
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: actually twenty four million? Million if I think a million, yeah,

208
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: I think, I think. I'm not sure if that's like

209
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: like a Actually the way it worked, but there was

210
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: a shorthand that if you got a twenty four share,

211
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: that meant like twenty three million or twenty four million

212
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: people were watching the show, and that was like our bit,

213
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: and it was Corey's Alternative Friends was our first episode

214
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: to reach that, and then we continued to hit that

215
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: number on a somewhat regular basis throughout the first season,

216
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: which meant that we were a hit, that we were

217
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: enough to stay on the air. Nowadays, that would be

218
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: like the biggest television show of all time, because I'm yeah,

219
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: by the time, I mean when we were getting when

220
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: we got canceled in our seventh season, we were still

221
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: getting like twenty share or whatever, and like only a

222
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: few years later that would have been the number one

223
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: show on television. So you know, I don't mean to

224
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: interrupt in this might make it more confusing, but it

225
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: says in TV media planning, a share refers to the

226
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: percentage of households that is exposed to an advertisement measured

227
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: against the total number of households who were watching television

228
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: at that specific time, which people. Yes, that's the way. Yeah,

229
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: I think that's that's that's what it means. But it

230
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: basically means that that that your show is worth money

231
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: the network because that means that means that they're able

232
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: to turn to advertisers and say, we're getting this kinds

233
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: of numbers, do you want to advertise on this show?

234
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: And so for a show like ours, that's everything because

235
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: that's the network then decides to keep you around. Um yeah,

236
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: so I don't I don't know, I just yeah, So

237
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: I didn't remember this correctly. I had thought between second

238
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: and third season I went off and did an ABC

239
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: Movie of the Week, but I actually did it between

240
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: first and second season. Yeah, I did, which is crazy,

241
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: like you know, there I and will You ended up

242
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: doing multiple versions of these. But you know, back then

243
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: they would just like cast you in a TV show

244
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: if you were on like on a b R in

245
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: a movie. So ABC did Movies of the Week and

246
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: they just gave me a job, I guess as an

247
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: indication of like how well boy Me's world was doing

248
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: and that I was getting sort of acknowledged as a

249
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: as an actor on this show and like not no

250
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: longer just the two line best friend. They just offered

251
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: me the starring role in this ABC movie of the

252
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: Week called Summertime Switch, and so I went off to Jacksonville,

253
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: Florida for at least three weeks. It was. It was

254
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: an amazing in cast. Actually, so it's Jason Weaver who

255
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: had been um the singing voice of Young Simba, and

256
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: he was an amazing singer and dancer, uh and actor.

257
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: He was UM. He was also in the Jackson five

258
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: movie that had been come out around that time, like

259
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: maybe a year or two before they did a television

260
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: movie about the Jackson five. So he was this an

261
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: incredibly talented actor. And we played two guys who go

262
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: to the wrong summer camp, like we have the same name,

263
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like the preppy guy and he's like the

264
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: criminal kid, and we I end up at the prison

265
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: summer camp and he ends up at like the rich

266
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: kids summer camp. And so I actually didn't get to

267
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: work with Jason all that much because we were on

268
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: opposite scenes all the time. But also had Soleigh Moonfry

269
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: in it. It had David tom if you guys remember

270
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: David Toms, Patrick Grenna and one of the sand Loot

271
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: guys was in it. When he was him a lot,

272
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: So it was a really fun cast. It was just

273
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: basically like it was basically like summer camping in Jacksonville, Florida.

274
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: Like I remember I did my first time doing karaoke

275
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: out there, um, and like none of us really cared

276
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: about the movie. Were like, you know, I think I'm

277
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: horrible in this film. I had to play basketball, which

278
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: I think I talked about on this show was the biggest.

279
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: But this also explains why my hair is so short

280
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: coming back into season two, because they gave me like

281
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: a super short, preppy haircut, and I'm like, you know,

282
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, some people have reached out

283
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: to me and said that they love this movie. I

284
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: refused to watch. Oh god, it's so maybe it's amazing.

285
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to watch it though, I'm so embarrassed.

286
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: But to the rewatch of Summertime Switch podcasts, No, No,

287
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: why writer it Similarly to the way you look like

288
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: a child in Boy Meets World, you would look like

289
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: a child in this movie. And so it's not going

290
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: to be like self conscious because it looks like you

291
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: as a grown man on screen. Why would you not

292
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: watch it? I think I'm very bad in and I

293
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: remember having struggles with the director. I remember the director

294
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: wanting me to be funnier and pushing me into you

295
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: know what was probably required, which was to be an

296
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: over the top funny character. And I didn't want to

297
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: be that actor, Like I didn't enjoy that kind of acting,

298
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: Like I was not interesting. Like I remember him specifically

299
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: being like, be more like Jim Carrey, you know how

300
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: Jim carried and like, I am not that guy like

301
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: and at the time, I I didn't like that, Like

302
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: I didn't want you know, of course, I wanted to

303
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: be a serious actor. I wanted to be a real actor.

304
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I came from theater. Boy Meets World was not really

305
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: my style like doing, you know. So I just suddenly

306
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: found myself being plugged into this over the top comedy,

307
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: which I'm sure is fine. It just wasn't me, you know.

308
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: And so I was very uncomfortable the entire time with

309
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: the actual acting. And so when I look back on it,

310
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: I just feel uncomfortable and the like when I've seen screenshots,

311
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: I just it makes my skin crawl. As an experience,

312
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: it was super fun off camera, like it we were

313
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: all staying in the same hotel, you know, it's all

314
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of kids and our parents and we would

315
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: just play games and hang out and um, it was

316
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: so like it was a good experience as far as

317
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: the you know, the friendships that I've forged and the

318
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: relationships we had off camera, but on camera I was

319
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: I was really uncomfortable and unhappy, which you know just happens.

320
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: I challenge you to doing a Summertimes which rewatch this

321
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: season within as a special episode. We can, we can

322
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: rewatch it and talk about it. You can say no,

323
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: but I'm just throwing it out there with love. It

324
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: would be a it's a safe space and then we

325
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: can do my date with the President's daughter there you go. Yeah,

326
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: but Will is actually great in that if I remember,

327
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: I'm phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal that the thing Will was always

328
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: you just always loved acting like you were always so

329
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: comfortable in your skin, and you knew exactly what you

330
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: were doing and who you were, and you were doing

331
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: exactly what you like I grew up wanting to do.

332
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: You know, for me, I was always like, why am

333
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: I here? What is happening? And I just always felt,

334
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, out of place? Was always less Jim Carrey

335
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: less like Jim Carrey, so, well, what did you do

336
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: during that summer hiatus? This was in some ways of

337
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: a wonderful hiatus for me, and in some ways a

338
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: very horrible hiatus for me. So I was living in

339
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, I had, you know, was starting my life

340
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: as an adult, and then I had to go back

341
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: and graduate high school. And high school was not a

342
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: good time for me. Um, I did not you know,

343
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: I was not treated real well in high school. I

344
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: didn't have a close group of friends. Um, you know,

345
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to any of the parties and any stuff.

346
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 1: And then I came back and from being on television,

347
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: I was now one of the popular guys, and and

348
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: they had rewritten history to where all the times I

349
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: was not invited to parties, all of a sudden I

350
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: was there. So they'd start saying things like remember that party,

351
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, no, I wasn't there, Like yeah

352
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: you were, Yeah, no we hung out that Like, all

353
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I was rewritten into this history where

354
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: every Friday night I was home with my parents. But

355
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: now everyone wanted to brag about being your friend now.

356
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: So it was so the first three months leaving the show,

357
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: was tough because it was like I just wanted to

358
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: get through school. By that point, I was just over

359
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: seas would end in March, and so we would still

360
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: of like most of March, April, May, and then however

361
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: long Intervil. So I had like three and a half

362
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: months of school and I was just over it. I

363
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: wanted to just get out. And and then so once

364
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: once I graduated, it was great because then I went

365
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: and did UM, an awesome show on Nickelodeon. I did

366
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: in an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark,

367
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: which is a super cool show and has become like

368
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: a cult hit, and I got to play a character

369
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: we were up in. We shot it up in Montreal,

370
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: and I got to play a character who's walking home

371
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: through these thick woods. You would have loved it. Writer

372
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: like this, He's a revolutionary work. And it turns out, yeah,

373
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: it turns out that he runs into a character an

374
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: old Rever War soldier. I think we watched it one

375
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: time at your house because I asked, and a ton

376
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: of fun. And my one cool friend from high school

377
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: I literally talked to you last night, who I'm still

378
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: really good friends with. UM was an extra and he

379
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: was the guy who He always looked like he was

380
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: forty when when we were in high school. So sitting

381
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: right behind me is is a guy we're supposed to

382
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: be like freshman in high school. It looks like it's

383
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: like sweet Beard. He came up to visit you when

384
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: you were in Montreal. She was my he I was

385
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: not yet eighteen, so I think he was like my

386
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: legal guardian because he was eighteen and a half or

387
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: something like that. So we drove up. We got into

388
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: my car. He and I would always take road trips.

389
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: He driven across the country a bunch of times with

390
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: up Google shout out um and he would. So we

391
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: drove up to Montreal from Kenneticut was like a six

392
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: hour drive and we went to checked everything out and

393
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: hung out in Montreal and I got to shoot be

394
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: the best and I got to shoot for It was

395
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: like two weeks and we just had it was just fun.

396
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: So it was it was the tale of two to

397
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: hiatuses for me where it started really bad and ended

398
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: really great. And I like writer. I honestly can't remember

399
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: finding out when the show was picked up. I have

400
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: no memory of Actually, I don't know if I got

401
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: a call or we were all. I mean, there wasn't

402
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: an email chain or anything like that at the time.

403
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: So I imagine you get a call from agent right going, hey,

404
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: they picked you up for another season. But I have

405
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: no memory of it whatsoever. Yeah, I don't either. I

406
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: have no memory of that. Also have no memory of

407
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: the summer. But I also like, just went back to

408
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: normal school, and then we probably went to Hawaii. My

409
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: family went to Hawaii every year, so that's where I

410
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: came back with that stellar tan and the natural blonde highlights.

411
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: And you hate it, and now you hate the beach.

412
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to be in the sun,

413
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: but I do think I do love the beach and

414
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: on the beach. Correct, that is what I do if

415
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: I go to a tropical place. I'm under a cabana um.

416
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I have no fun summer stories. Did you.

417
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: You didn't shoot anything or anything in between. I never

418
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: once shot anything in between. I never wanted to another project.

419
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: Mostly by choice, I wanted to go back to I

420
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: was such a regular school kid. I wanted to go

421
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: back to regular school so bad. I loved the flip

422
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: of just being able to be with my high school

423
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: friends and the high school boys and the you know,

424
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: the normal high school experience. I wanted to do that,

425
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: and um, I also don't think I think I was

426
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: also like, I'm not going to audition. I work all

427
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: throughout the year. I don't want audition for stuff. And

428
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I was being offered anything. I don't

429
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: think I turned it down an offer, but maybe I did.

430
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: But no, I have such boring hiatus stories, so I'm

431
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: gonna just yours. I'll think about it. Maybe I'll make

432
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: one up for between season three and season four or something. Yeah,

433
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,280

00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: fire or something you can Yeah, that's a good idea. Okay,

00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: in our twenties. But the other nerd, Lucas Jackson. Guess

464
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: what that NERD's name was, what Limpkey? No, yeah, really recycled.

465
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: They recycled the name and just gave him the last name.

466
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: Calm on. Well if you think, I mean, you know,

467
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: you didn't work the first time, why would anybody know,

468
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: so you just pull out the same kind of uncool though.

469
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: I agree, mostly because my very first thought. And we're

470
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: not even in the recap yet, but yes, they started

471
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: off the scene in the school with two two nerds.

472
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: I know it's it's it's that it was infuriated. I

473
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: know it was infuriated. And then to find out in

474
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: looking it up, Lemky, I honestly it was a little insulted. Um.

475
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, So Jeremy Wyant wasn't. Alvin was not one

476
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,239
Speaker 1: of those two nerd characters, and Lemkey so I think

477
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: he was. I think he's I think Alvin the senior seniors. Um.

478
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: And then this was actually my first normal credit on

479
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: the show. I wasn't listed as a guest. Hey, welcome

480
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: to the show, Danielle. So I my mom swears that

481
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: I was, so I don't know. The mystery continues. I

482
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: need to talk. We need to talk to Judy Savage. Um.

483
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: And now we are as part of the cast. And

484
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: you you were, you were, You must have been guaranteed

485
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: thirteen out of exactly that's I think what it was.

486
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: I was regular, but I was only guaranteed thirteen or

487
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: maybe even seventeen out of twenty one, but I think

488
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: it was thirteen for the first For this second season,

489
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: and we've got a new I guess, short and cool

490
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: cartoon opening, no credits really just new theme music and

491
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: a and a cartoony dude being discussed. Do you guys

492
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: remember this, Like I, I I don't know. I remember Michael

493
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: pitching us this during note session. We're not gonna have

494
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: opening credits, We're just gonna have a cool cartoon. And

495
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: it's it was kind of like a I think maybe

496
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: it was a new idea or maybe just a trendier

497
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: thing that was. You know, it was like an evolution

498
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: in television shows. They were moving away from that sort

499
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: of eighties sitcom opening credits, you know. But it's also

500
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: you get more time to do, get way more time

501
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: for writing, which is why. Obviously the writers loved it

502
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: um but I think it was a relatively new idea

503
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: at the time. And then of course we ended up

504
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 1: going back to opening credits in the intern near the end.

505
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: I wonder where I did. I didn't want the I

506
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: didn't care whether or not it was the first one,

507
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: but I kind of missed having opening credits. I think

508
00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: it's great for actors to be individualized too, Like I

509
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: seeing an actor's face with their name, I think that's

510
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 1: really part of the reason. You know, like people know

511
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: my name, like people know that no you know any

512
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: anything to say like this is a performance, this is

513
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 1: a person beyond this character. I think it is respectful

514
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: for actors like to be to be identified that way.

515
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: I know it. It breaks the fourth wall, and it

516
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: can kind of make it. It can get easily get hokey.

517
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: But as far as like what actors bring and and

518
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: and and recognizing actors as individuals and not just part

519
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: of an ensemble but individuals, I really like opening credits

520
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: for that, but I don't like them creatively, as you know,

521
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: as far as breaking the fourth wall experience, I disagree.

522
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: I like to get I like more show. I want

523
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: to have more show. It's like, here's the show. We've

524
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: got great, this is the title of it. Let's move on, right.

525
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: And I guess nowadays it doesn't matter as much because

526
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: you can always look up actors on the internet. You

527
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: can easily be like, who's the person who plays blah

528
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: blah blah. But back then, the only way anybody ever

529
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: knew like that, right or strong wasn't the guy who

530
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: was the cool teacher but the kid, you know, it

531
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: was because of those opening credits under our faces, like yeah,

532
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: it was a really respectful sort of like showcase of

533
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: this person is this character. I just never cared about

534
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: that stuff. I was one of those guys like it's like, well,

535
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: your fourth on the call sheet or third on the

536
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: call So for people out there don't know, you get

537
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: a call sheet kind of every week telling you, you know,

538
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: when you have to come into the set, who's going

539
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 1: to be there that day, And the where you're listed

540
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: on the call sheet is usually where your credit on

541
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: our show. And it was a script, right, and we

542
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: don't really have a call It was our scripts, and

543
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: so I just didn't. It was I had agents that

544
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: were like, well, do you want us to fight? So

545
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: you can be. I was like, I don't care where

546
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm listed. I do not care at all about that stuff.

547
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: I will let my performance speak for itself, and I

548
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: don't care where you have me on the list of people.

549
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: I've just always done that, so I'd like I get

550
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: when to get to the show. Plus, but you know,

551
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: again going back to the shows like Mash and Cheers

552
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, I would rather have seen a

553
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: longer episode of those shows than see the same title

554
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: over over again. Um yeah, yeah, I think it's it's lost.

555
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: It's it's lost its value for at because everyone can

556
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: be looked up online, it doesn't matter as much. But

557
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: now there is also a value in you know, you

558
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: think about the Game of Thrones opening credits, like there's

559
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: so much heavy lifting being done as far as like

560
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: explaining the world and mapping it out for people and

561
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: like giving you a sense of you know. And I

562
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: also think that there's there's become this huge movement I

563
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: mean basically post the seven opening credits. Um that this

564
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: idea of like stylistically establishing the tone through the opening credits.

565
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: You know, like that's like basically now you can't have

566
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: an HBO show without like creepy piano music and like

567
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: an amazingly shot opening credit sequence that sets the tone

568
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: for the entire show. But I really starting to explain

569
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: the world didn't really start with James Bond, the James

570
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: Bond movies where it was like that was the big thing.

571
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: Was what who was going to sing the opening song?

572
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: What the opening title credit was going to be? That

573
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: was like a character of the movie was was that

574
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But well, let's jump into our recap.

575
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: We start in the Matthews kitchen, and boy, oh boys,

576
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: it pretty obvious right off the top that a lot

577
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: growing up has happened for everybody. Yeah, Alan yells for

578
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: Corey Rusty is a fresh new cut, saying he's going

579
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: to be late for the first day of high school,

580
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: and Amy says, oh, he's probably nervous. Corey comes down

581
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: and Morgan says, go back to camp loser. Morgan, his aide,

582
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: looks ten years old and she's all hipped out in

583
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: her blossom hat. Yeah, like very stylized in a completely

584
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: new direction. I was like, Ben looks like he's grown

585
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: two to three inches. He's he's freaking out. Really, he

586
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: looks different, he looks different. He looks totally different. He

587
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I could not stop saying. I was like, yeah,

588
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you grow Yeah, you know. Yeah.

589
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: The difference apparently between him at twelve and thirteen was

590
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: quite a lot. Corey is actually in a good mood.

591
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: He's not nervous for his first day of high school

592
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: at all. He knows his role and he is excited.

593
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: He says all summer he bugged Eric and he took

594
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: notes about what he heard. He needs to be friends

595
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: with Harley Kinner, a most feared and influential senior at school.

596
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: He will protect him. Alan and Amy say he doesn't

597
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: need to reinvent himself for high school and no one

598
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: has a plan like that. He's the only person with

599
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: a plan. And then Sean walks in saying he lost

600
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: his copy of the plan and he's wearing fake cyberns

601
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: cybernst me yeah, and he was like what are those things?

602
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: What happened? Why do you have hair? And I was like,

603
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: it's they're fake, don't worry. But yeah, it felt like

604
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: a a bit that yeah didn't really land but really

605
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: had a long run. We just I'm wearing them for

606
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: the next kind of two scenes. Yeah, it's so weird

607
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: because I've seen, you know, people have like pulled screen

608
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: grabs from this or and people think like, oh, those

609
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: are actual sidemus because they look realistic enough, they should

610
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: have gone faker. I feel like, yeah, it should have

611
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: been more obvious that they were fake. And you noticed

612
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: that Rusty the entire time is doing the actor pushes

613
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: food around with this thing. Well, I would like to

614
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: discuss this. Actually, what on earth is he eating? Is

615
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: at breakfast soup? Is it cereal? What is that? Because

616
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: he eat it when he comes down, Well, he takes

617
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: the bull from from Rusty, so we don't know what

618
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: you eat like a champ and you're I know, you're like,

619
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't have no idea what it was yellow, It

620
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: looked like it looked like chedd cheddar broccoli soup or something.

621
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: I was just pushing it around. That's probably why he's

622
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: pushing it around. It looks really he's no, he's probably

623
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: pushing it around because he knows you're going to take

624
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: it and eat it. So he wasn't going to contaminate

625
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: your soup with his germs. That's true. So Eric comes downstair.

626
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: Eric comes downstairs and hands core know he's starting to

627
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: get there. Now, he's starting to turn the corner. Eric

628
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: comes downstairs and hands Corey a contract to not contact

629
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: him during school hours. He's only to refer to him

630
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: as Eric, the great one on campus. I loved well

631
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: how you knew what all the words of the contract were,

632
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: and so you were like you were like mouthing it

633
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: as he was like an East Coast prep. Now we

634
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: are done with grunge and hum and thin super thin

635
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, Michael Jacob's talk did that for me.

636
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: So really that was between season one season to know

637
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: it was it the end of season was like towards

638
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: the end of season one was that we were noticing

639
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: your gaining weight. So that was in my head the

640
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: whole time in between seasons. So yeah, it was Yeah.

641
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: I made I made sure I did not look like

642
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: that when I came back. Yeah, definitely. Hey, it looks good.

643
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: It worked. You do look great. I know, green shoes

644
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: in the green sweater. Yeah, I had that sweater until

645
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: like three years ago, did you. Yeah, Oh that's amazing. Yeah,

646
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: I love that sweater. It seems like a will sweater, right.

647
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: Uh So yeah, you explain to your parents that you

648
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: can't really associate with your brother at school. Sorry. Pheeny

649
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: walks in saying a huge object is blocking his driveway

650
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: and it's Eric's car. Sean and Corey Yeah, Shawn and

651
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: Cory ask Poenie if he'll miss them now that they're

652
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: off to high school, and he says no, and then

653
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: as Eric and Feenie leave to figure out the car situation,

654
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: Sean says high school means they are done with Poenie

655
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: and that it is the greatest day of their lives.

656
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: They do their handshake to celebrate, but they say they

657
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: should do something a bit cooler now that they're going

658
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: to high school, and they do a new cooler handshake

659
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: like that. It's exactly the same, but we're just doing

660
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: it like, hey, laughing by the end, Yeah, it's just

661
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,959
Speaker 1: to slow down hipcat version. Yeah exactly. I think Amy

662
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: and Allen are laughing too. I'm like genuinely, Rusty and

663
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: Betsy are laughing while you're doing this. Everybody was just

664
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: having fun by this point. Can we talk about I mean,

665
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just overwhelmed by this episode. I'm like,

666
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: I am dizzy with how different It's a whole different

667
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: show and it's shocking. I am uncomfortable. I am very

668
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: scared for how I'm going to feel. I'm sure it

669
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: will change, but this episode completely threw me for a

670
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: I do not feel good, Like it's a weird, like

671
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: body reaction. I don't want. And I wonder how much Okay,

672
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: we're just going into season two really quickly, Like I

673
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: think having a year off would have been nice, you know,

674
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: like having a summer would have been nice. But I

675
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: wonder how much the audience felt this too, you know

676
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: how much how much of that is just natural television,

677
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: you know new season factor like okay, and how much

678
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: of it is because it obviously I have a personal

679
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: identification with the show. I don't know, but I just

680
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: don't feel good about anything. I think. I think a

681
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: lot of it is personal identification. Also because as I'm

682
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: reading the credits, I also realized behind the scenes was complete.

683
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: Everything was different, Everything was different. It's chaos, there's so much,

684
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 1: there are characters, there's like fifteen bit parts. There's store

685
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: wines where it feels like and I don't like it.

686
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: I already missed season one. Season one was like a

687
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: revelation of how comfortable and cozy and awesome, And this

688
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: just feels like and that what if I if I'm

689
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: being honest, if I'm objective, I was impressed with how

690
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: the storylines, how much they were able to pack in.

691
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: They were able to pull off amazing arcs, you know,

692
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: Eric coming back at the end, like I was. I was,

693
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: I was Feenie being incorporated. Mr Turner being introduced. Like

694
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: when I actually look at it on paper, I am impressed.

695
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,479
Speaker 1: I go, Wow, they pulled it off. Sean, is there

696
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: pancas there? Like some of the even in this opening

697
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: scene you get to see the family is still around.

698
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: But it did not feel good watching the experience. Like

699
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: I can objectively say they pulled it off, but as

700
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: a as an experience, I am very uncomfortable with this.

701
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: I agree, But could you argue that the uncomfortability that

702
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: you're feeling would mirror the same uncomfortability you would actually

703
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: feel going into high school? I'm sure, yeah, yeah, I

704
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: mean that's a great way to think about it. I

705
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: just don't like, I'm hoping that this fades, you know,

706
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: And I think it's just like the new haircut, new

707
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: clothes feeling. It's just awkward and it's weird. It doesn't

708
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like my show. And it does, by

709
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: the way, feel what everyone said the reason for letting

710
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: Lee go. It does feel aged up, and and I

711
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: don't necessarily know that I like it. It's you know, um,

712
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: I know that we have to grow up. But there

713
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: was something that I had really, we had all really

714
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: settled into nicely at the end of season one. Uh.

715
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: And you're right, well, it's the comfort and coziness of

716
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 1: a safe environment and then the idea of entering high

717
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: school you're no longer safe. You have that that band

718
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: aid has been ripped off. But I could not agree

719
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 1: with you more writer, And will I know you feel

720
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: the same way it is. I'm uncomfortable. I'm just uncomfortable.

721
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I don't remember feeling this as

722
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: we shot it. Do you I think I think I was,

723
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: because yeah, I mean, I mean I'm fine, like I

724
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: think I'm fine in the episode, but I don't. I mean,

725
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: I am very I can tell that I am uncomfortable,

726
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: like I don't know, like I the whole thing just

727
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 1: threw me for a loop. I was like, no, no, no,

728
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: it's like starting a whole new show. That's what I

729
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: That's how I looked at it. I was like, okay,

730
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: so it's just a brand new show. That's what I

731
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: have to look at it as, is they just here's

732
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: the family again. The dynamics are kind of the same,

733
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: but not really. Now we've got all these new characters

734
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: doing all this new stuff, and it's weird. It was. Yeah,

735
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: it's very off the Nerds with the whole because it's

736
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: always going through my head was it should have been

737
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: late so there was now to hear that the character's

738
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: name was lem Key. That's horrifying. Yeah, so yeah, it

739
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: was strange. Well, we we meet those two new Nerd

740
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: characters in the school hallway. They walk into the hallway saying,

741
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: high school, what happens to us now? We'll determine our

742
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: entire futures. And then Corey and Sean opened the door

743
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: and it hits them in the face and they say

744
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: basically the exact same thing. Why and how this was

745
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: not just Lee? We will never know? Um did this

746
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: joke work for you guys at all? It's three times

747
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: three or four times? And I never found it funny.

748
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: I was watching it. I knew it was coming because

749
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: I remembered it, and I was like, I don't. I

750
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: don't think this is not funny and it just never

751
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: never gotta laugh. Indie never liked it. It It was never.

752
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: It's like this, I don't know, I don't, I don't,

753
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't I understand, like about this episode that I

754
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: thought missed, which is ironic because I think there's a

755
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: lot about this episode that landed. I thought Tony's character

756
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: landed very well, I thought, and we'll get to it.

757
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was little much at first, um, little

758
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: little cartoony, but we'll we'll get to all. What you

759
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: mean exactly, teach you, teach you the same thing, you know,

760
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: he's like, but it's um, Yeah, So there was a

761
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: lot that didn't land and starting with this kind of

762
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: stuff and then getting into the seniors took my clothes

763
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 1: like it's setting up a weird I don't know. It was, yeah,

764
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: and maybe it was just thrown by the whole thing.

765
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: So that's that's what I'm trying. Yeah, I think I

766
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: think my third or fourth episode, we're going to be like,

767
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: this is great, right, everybody's comfortable. It's just like, you know,

768
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: but there's something you know, you think about how ambitious

769
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: of the first episode. This is just like we were saying, well,

770
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: behind the scenes must have been chaos. You have a

771
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: whole new crew, whole new writing staff, and you bring

772
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: on like literally twelve guest cast to a new and

773
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: it's insanity. We must have been pulling our hair out

774
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: going crazy this week. You must have been there's I

775
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: honestly don't. I have no memory of of I remembered

776
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: the episode or parts of it, but I have no

777
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: memory of actually doing it. I have memory of the

778
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: scene with us in the hallway, which well we will

779
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: get to right now. So Alvin the kid in his underwear,

780
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: and he says, seniors the same years, they took my clothes,

781
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: and I thought it was I think the thing that

782
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: above me the most is that he likes walking through

783
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: the hallway and then just walks right up to Corey,

784
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: just directly to Corey. Seniors senior to seniors. I know, uh.

785
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: And and he says that they took his clothes just

786
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: because he's the new kid, and oh, Corey is also

787
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: a new kid. And then new character alert Frankie comes

788
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: over and smashes Corey into the lockers because Corey was

789
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: almost in his way. Fantastic Future Pod meets World guest

790
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: in principly cannot wait to talk to him an incredible actor.

791
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: Sean says they were just looking for their home room,

792
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: and then another new character alert, another kid named Joey

793
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: enters and points to the locker says that's where their

794
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: home room is. So Sean jumps into it. And I

795
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: thought this was a really fantastic moment of Sean going

796
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: oh right here, Oh okay, I'll go ahead and jump in.

797
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: I thought it was great. And then I had a

798
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: real memory of being in those lockers and like having

799
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: them custom made and however, you know, making sure that

800
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: you could fit, and they were all just specially made lockers,

801
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: which I was like out there basically had a latch

802
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: on the inside. Yeah, that's funny, I remember photo coph God. So,

803
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: now with their attention on Corey, Joey and Frankie get

804
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: into their own little fight because Frankie thinks Joey just

805
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: called him gay. Where I'm from, it comes from nothing.

806
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 1: It right, was that he's so insecure, insecure his sexuality

807
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 1: that he leaps to did you just call me these

808
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: jokes aged like milk? Yeah, no, horrible, this was and

809
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: it's so I know at the time it was far

810
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: more common, so I'm sure watching it at the time

811
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't nearly as jarring as it was to watch now. No.

812
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: I saw an episode of Friends from even later that

813
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: did this almost exactly. Or it had a series of

814
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: gay jokes like throughout. It was a runner throughout, and

815
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, this was totally normal, like the

816
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties. That was the joke Bill and Ted's

817
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I mean, this was like you instantly

818
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: went it was a nine. Yeah, it was. It was

819
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: like a nineties insult. Well, Bill and Ted's just actually

820
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: used the F word, like awefully, And that was really

821
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: hard because I wanted to watch Bill and Ted's with

822
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: the Indian and he was so totally up his alley

823
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: totally but he he's like, what does that word mean?

824
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, right here you go, and you know, like

825
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: he just does not and even with this beat and

826
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: he was like what yeah, because you know, gay is

827
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: not a bad word, Like he we have so many

828
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: gay friends, his best friend's parents, like multiples friends of

829
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: his are gay parents. So like the idea of like

830
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: calling somebody gay or somebody being insecure for being called gay,

831
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 1: Like he was like literally did not understand what was happening, didn't,

832
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: which is wonderful for how the world has changed. Um,

833
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: so you know, I do have to say that as

834
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: opposed to like what I started to say, is as

835
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: opposed to Bill and Ted's which just went for the

836
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: the word this is clever, right, Like this has a

837
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: layer to it that is like, oh, you have to

838
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: sort of assume, you know, his his homophobia, that he's internalized,

839
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: that maybe has feelings he's not processed come out in

840
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: this awful way, and that he's a bully worried about that.

841
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: I can see, like, you know, there's lay up levels

842
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: to it. But yes, the the ultimate point of the

843
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: Joe is completely lost on a new generation. Like it's

844
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: a good thing, thank god. Yeah, so it's yeah, did

845
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: not did not feel good, didn't age well at all? Um, Well,

846
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: can we talk about in general the retro vibe of

847
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: this entire story line like these two bullies, these three bullies, right,

848
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's straight this like Grease nineteen fifties,

849
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: three o'clock high happening like not none of this fault

850
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: reflective of nineties high school experience, but it was written

851
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: by super happy something believe how like, yeah, retro this

852
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: and you know, wearing the bowling shirt and like the grease.

853
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean, like Carly Kleiner just looks like he's straight

854
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: of the fifties. And then Ethan and Joey, you know,

855
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: the doing everybody's doing like a New York sort of

856
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: like it all of in New York. He was like

857
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: everybody really, yes, everybody's from Brooks. I mean it was

858
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: like it just became this like cartoon nineteen fifties childhood

859
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: that does not square with the show we had from before.

860
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: And I think it becomes more conscious and funny later on,

861
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: but it felt very awkward to be like so different.

862
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: It was so different that then every you're looking at

863
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: all the reasons why it's different, because it was you're

864
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: just thrown into a brand new show and it's like,

865
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: oh that's not the same. Oh that's not the same.

866
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: Wait why is he from Brooklyn? Wait? What? And so

867
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: everything just felt out of place. Yeah, it was weird. Well,

868
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: then Corey asks the question, if Harley is the biggest

869
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: and baddest, then who were those two guys? And that

870
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: is a very scary thought for their future? What is

871
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: this place? And then to Peanga walks in and they

872
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: are so happy to see her because she feels like

873
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: a bit of the old world. And then they make

874
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: her walk in front of them like a human shield,

875
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: which I thought was pretty funny, and Sean is checking

876
00:46:54,040 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: out to Pananga. Sorry, sorry, sorry, I was biology. I'm

877
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: just saying we had talked about it very briefly last season,

878
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: about whether or not there was ever and Ernie and

879
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: maybe it was very good to you, and I remember

880
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: you remember kind of hating it, and I remember feeling

881
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: weird about it, like I remember because it was like,

882
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 1: I have your boobs grown that much? And I remember

883
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: being uncomfortable with Like did we talk about it? Because

884
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: I remember being uncomfortable, So I was uncomfortable too, And

885
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: I think the same reason you just mentioned was the

886
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: same reason I was uncomfortable. I didn't know. I was

887
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: not aware of the outward perception of my body having

888
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 1: been changed. I don't remember thinking I had changed that much.

889
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: And then when it was written in the episode, I

890
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 1: suddenly saw myself through the eyes of the people writing

891
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: for me, and I was like, Oh, I guess I

892
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: guess I've I guess I am now a look different.

893
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm more womanly and I didn't feel it until it

894
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: was written in the script. And that's what made me uncomfortable,

895
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: is that I became hyper focused on um being aware

896
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: of how I was being perceived. Yeah, and I had

897
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: already I had done an episode of Evening Ship it

898
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: was exactly this too, where it was a whole episode

899
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,240
Speaker 1: about eleven year old girl getting a bra or whatever,

900
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: and it was I remember it being super uncomfortable in

901
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: person back then too, Like with the other the girl actors, like,

902
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: we were all so uncomfortable with having to do these

903
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: scenes about this thing in a way that like, obviously

904
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: at the point of these these beats is that it's

905
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: uncomfortable for kids to go through this, but for actors

906
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: to have to play that and to recognize adds like

907
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: a whole meta layer of discomfort. It's like and and

908
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: and you have to be aware of it and play

909
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: to it. And I just remember being I hated all

910
00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: of this, but you know that's that was the job. Yeah, yeah,

911
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: And I mean, you know it's lost to the viewer.

912
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: We were obviously talking about it from the outside perspective

913
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: and really putting it, shining a light on it. But

914
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't think people really thought about. Oh, I wonder

915
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: what the actual feeling was on the set while they

916
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: were filming this. I wonder what those kids were thinking

917
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: and feeling. Like the fact that we were real kids

918
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: is kind of lost on the viewer until you start

919
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: having this discussion. And um, just so people don't jump

920
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: down our throats, we're not saying you shouldn't do an

921
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: episode about this because it's uncomfortable. We're just saying that

922
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: being the kids that are doing that, that are doing it,

923
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: it's uncomfortable and it's and you even though you're playing

924
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,760
Speaker 1: a character children looking at each other talking about boots,

925
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: about your boots, and we have to play a scene

926
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: about that, And in real life we I don't remember

927
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: thinking about that yet exactly. We were not. We were

928
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: not and you were not. You know. It wasn't like

929
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: we were all at the same developmental level to being

930
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 1: able to maturely act it. We were sort of pressured

931
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: into acting something that we may not necessarily. Yeah, it's

932
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: just an awkward Well, I was insecure about it, and

933
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: my character was supposed to be very confident about it.

934
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: So as an insecure person about this thing, I'm supposed

935
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: to be playing this self assured, almost like I'm going

936
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: to use this power I have, and I'm like, I

937
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: don't feel powerful. It feels uncomfortable. Danielle, how old were

938
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: you when when you do this? I may have just

939
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: turned thirteen, Depending on where we were in the shooting

940
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: of this. This would have been Fall of ninety four,

941
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: so I would have just turned thirteen in May. No really, yeah,

942
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: I was born in May of one, so Fall of

943
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: eighty four, I would have turned thirteen. You know. If

944
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: we filmed this in September or something or August, I

945
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: would have been This would have been like July or August,

946
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: probably July early on. Yeah, so a few I was

947
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: thirteen in two months or something. Yeah, it's weird. It's yachts.

948
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: It's odd. I had a smoking hot tan though, because

949
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: I spent all summer at the pool. I used to tan.

950
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 1: I used to tan as a child. I didn't I

951
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: wasn't thinking about my future skin. And what's funny is

952
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: what's funny to me is that you look older in

953
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: your face more than anything. Yeah, and you looked more

954
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: like that. I hate to say it, but I look

955
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 1: like the AI art. Yeah, no, it was. There's something

956
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: about your face. That I was like, oh, Danielle is

957
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: getting older. That was like way more noticeable to me

958
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: than your body, and that we're making this whole thing

959
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: about your body. But I was like, no, she just

960
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,240
Speaker 1: looks older in her face and more like sort of confident, mature,

961
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: And maybe just from the way I looked at it.

962
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 1: There's the logistical aspect of the fact that she says,

963
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: what are you looking at while you're looking at her back,

964
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: and you know, and then you say you're blown. I know.

965
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: I thought that was weird too, You're looking at my back.

966
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: And then I turned and I asked, what are you

967
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: looking at? And Sean says, her blouse and that summer

968
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: was very good to her and to Penga says, well,

969
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: at least what I grew was real, and I rip

970
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: off your fake sideburns. And now I have to say,

971
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: from a comedic standpoint, it's a good line. That's funny.

972
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: That's what I grew was real. When she rips off

973
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: your sideburns is a funny line. I mean to get

974
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: those stupid sideburns off, but it's a funny. Haircut is awful? Really,

975
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: you asked if you were wearing a wig. I just

976
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: look watching this, I was like, oh, that is awful haircut.

977
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: So I can't say I noticed, but Will did apparently

978
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: did okay fake hair well. Topenga says that we all

979
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: have home room together because she looked it up and

980
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 1: the teacher is Mr Turner. Eric told Corey nothing about

981
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: this Mr Turner guy. And then a guy with a

982
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: leather jacket, sunglasses, and a helmet walks into the hall

983
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: and Corey thinks it has to be Harley Kiner, like

984
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 1: that's an Danny was already looking like a twenty six

985
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: year old at least with that hair and the sunglass,

986
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: holding the motorcycle helmet, like you just he might as

987
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: well just be wearing a Neon shirt that just says

988
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm cool. It's got all the stereotypical I'm cool guy

989
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: sunglasses in the helmet, and it's like, exactly, it's so

990
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: clearly like exact fantasy guy for our writing staff. So funny. Yeah,

991
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: So Corey goes up to him saying he wants to

992
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: be his friend and he'll do anything for him, and

993
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 1: then he quickly realizes that it's a Mr Jonathan Turner,

994
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: and then we go into Turner's classroom. Mr Turner says

995
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: he's there for home room English and anytime someone wants

996
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: to talk, it appears. Mr Turners in on the edge

997
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: of the desk, up whatever you want to talk. I'm

998
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: surprised he didn't start rapping, seriously exactly rash isn't cool yet.

999
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: I just got my head gum. But it's just gonna

1000
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: sit here and just talk about books and what he's got. Yes,

1001
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: they record. Tony is one of my favorite people in

1002
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: the world and a wonderful actor. It is. This is

1003
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: just so pushed. The character is just so pushed. You know,

1004
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 1: obviously he's not comfortable yet, but we're all just so

1005
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: he's this right character? Is it working? Yeah? Is it

1006
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: too much? Should it be more? Is that? Yeah? You

1007
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna notice X man when I see it? Like, no,

1008
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: where is that from? Yeah? Mr Turner asks Corey if

1009
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: he's the troublemaker and the one who's going to try

1010
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: to bring down the new teacher, and Corey says, no,

1011
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: that would be Sean. So in order to figure out

1012
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: who Sean is, Mr Turner walks around the class and says,

1013
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: whoever the troublemaker is will be avoiding eye contacting and bingo, bingo,

1014
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: Sean funny, it is funny. Hey, how you doing Sean? Hey?

1015
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: Sean Turner asks if anyone knows about the Odyssey, and

1016
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: as Tapanka helps a little, Mr Turner explains that. Corey

1017
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: asks who wants to read that? And then Mr Turner

1018
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: takes his X Men comic. He assigns the class to

1019
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: read the Odyssey and X Men, a comic book. He

1020
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: reads two guys. Corey says, finally a cool teacher, and

1021
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: then Corey calls him phoeney with an air ring. When

1022
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: Mr Turner tells him he will lead the classroom discussion tomorrow,

1023
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 1: I'd like to point out you both got that wrong

1024
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 1: during our live show. That was one of the questions

1025
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: that was asked to you in trivia, and neither of

1026
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: you knew the answer to that. What was the question?

1027
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: The question is what is? Corey called Mr Turner and

1028
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: I gave you free and it turned out a ring

1029
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: so good, so funny. Did Tony actually have an ear

1030
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: ring in real life? Did they? Is he wearing an

1031
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,439
Speaker 1: earring in the show? I can't remember. I can't remember

1032
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: if he has one in real life or not. Yeah,

1033
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 1: I think he has years I don't think, but yeah, yeah,

1034
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: it's funny. So then we're in the school hallway. Corey

1035
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: says Mr Turner is onto them, and Sean says, no,

1036
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: it was just Corey. He was onto and Corey and

1037
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: Sean realized they're going to be separated for their second

1038
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: class and they're going to be split up for the

1039
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: first time ever. We could have played that a little

1040
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: bit bigger. I think we could have gone farther, you know,

1041
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: just like I know I agree with if it was

1042
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: season three that we would have right, but at this

1043
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: point that the point of us being pulled apart is

1044
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 1: not as big of a joke. But yeah, but it

1045
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: is very funny that, like the idea was, okay, where

1046
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: do we go next? Occurred to us. So then Corey

1047
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,240
Speaker 1: runs up to his brother Eric, who's with some girls,

1048
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: and Eric pretends like he doesn't know who he is.

1049
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: And then new character alert Harley, Joey, and Frankie are

1050
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: standing by the bathroom when Corey excitedly walks up to

1051
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: say hi, and we get a call back to the

1052
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: gage joke. Yeah, well, it's been a couple of pages.

1053
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: It's the second time we're seeing that. The second it's

1054
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: also I just have to say, so, so far we've

1055
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: seen Joey and Frankie, Harley, Tony Quinn, and then we'll

1056
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: get to Marry and Staple, and everybody is so cartoony

1057
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. And these are all really good actors. There

1058
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: is not a bad actor in the bunch, and it

1059
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: is so over the top cartoony it's amazing. Yeah, I mean,

1060
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm wondering how much of that tone remains, Like I

1061
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: don't remember, Like, uh, I think Frankie and Joey kind

1062
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: of stay Frankie. But again, you can have a couple

1063
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: of cartoony characters that's okay. You can you get you know,

1064
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: that sitcomy kind of crazy where it's almost you know,

1065
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: you get Lenny and Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley, you know. There,

1066
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: you can have that kind of clinger for mash where

1067
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: it is cartoony and crazy. But when it's everybody you're introducing,

1068
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: I mean, every new character is so over the top

1069
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: that it amazing. It's amazing. Part of the dizzy and

1070
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: factor that I had it was just like what is happening?

1071
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: Like I think by the time Marian came in is

1072
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: when I really was like, what is going on? Over

1073
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: the top. Yes, they're all phenomenally talented people, and we

1074
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: just became a cartoon. We just became like that's what

1075
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean. It was like Frankie and Joey are clearly

1076
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: like remember the cartoons with like the Big Bulldog and

1077
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: the Little One that was always done, Like, that's clearly

1078
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They're just not doing they're the human

1079
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: version of that. And that's okay if that's a guy

1080
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: with a girl's name. Yeah, but it was just and

1081
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: it's also the way he's doing it, like it's like, wow,

1082
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: it's just so over the top. Well, Corey is trying

1083
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: to avoid a beat down, and he tells Harley that

1084
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: people would like him even more if he looked out

1085
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: for a seventh grader like himself, And Harley asks his

1086
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: name and then exclaims that Corey Matthews is a hoofy name,

1087
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 1: you know. Uh so, yet another reference to just again

1088
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: aging like milk here. So he gives him a new

1089
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: name that exudes fear and respect, Johnny Baboon, and then

1090
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: Mr Simpleton, another new character, walks out and sends Harley

1091
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: and Corey to the principal's office for not being in class.

1092
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: And then we're at the principal's office. Corey, Mr Stimpleman,

1093
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: and Harley walk in to see the principle and it

1094
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: is Mr Penny. It was a great we should have

1095
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: happened maybe five minutes earlier, do you know what I mean?

1096
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:37,959
Speaker 1: Like it should have probably been like the first beat

1097
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: as before Turner, because at this point I was like,

1098
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: now we're going to the principle, Like it's just like

1099
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: in the world a new person, and and it was

1100
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: like how many characters are we going to have to

1101
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: get through before we have that comforting like we're still

1102
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 1: the same show ye beat, And so when this came,

1103
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: it was like a sigh of relief, just like there's

1104
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: an anchor, I know this relationship, I know these two people. Um,

1105
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: it came a little too for me. It's like, you know,

1106
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: no offense to that actor, but just that introducing that character,

1107
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: it's like, geez, just too many, you know to get there.

1108
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: This is also this is also from something that we

1109
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: talked about I think in a previous episode though. This

1110
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: is something where this also shows the detriment of binge watching,

1111
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: because if you go right from the last episode of

1112
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: season one, which was that amazing episode of The I

1113
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: Dream of Phoenie where it's kind of a more quiet

1114
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: episode of Ben and Phoenie having these great kind of

1115
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: uh scenes together, and it's very well acted and very

1116
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: earnest to this kind of craziness right away. It's even

1117
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: doubly as jarring. Um, so I think that, you know,

1118
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: if you've got a summer off before you jump back in,

1119
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: it's not nearly as bad. Yeah, quite possibly. So Mr

1120
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Simpleman says Corey got on his nerves and then Phoenie

1121
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: gives Corey a break and says get out of his face.

1122
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: But then Corey realizes his next classes with Mr Feeney,

1123
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: but he can't even say his name. So it's a

1124
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: such a Michael Jacob's read Mr Mr this is where

1125
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: he talks about the caning. Yes, yeah, so this is

1126
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: obviously because that had Remember that was big in the country.

1127
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: That was like the number one news story was Michael

1128
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Fay in the country in Singapore where he was a

1129
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: guy who was going to be cane for vandalizing cars, yeah, graffiti,

1130
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: vandalized something like that, and they was gonna be cane

1131
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: to like in the public square. So this was right around.

1132
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: We can obviously tell they were throwing that in the area.

1133
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: By the way, I am not a genius. I had

1134
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: to google the guy's name just for the record that

1135
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: it was Michael Fay. But I remember that whole caning

1136
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: thing was like a big deal, right, what a big deal?

1137
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if that would ever matter now, Like, why

1138
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: was that a thing? I don't know. Also, I wonder

1139
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: if that's part of the reason they said mr fahe r. Okay,

1140
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: we're in the school hallway. Harley catches up to Corey

1141
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: sarcastically thanks him for giving him detention all week. Harley

1142
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: asks Corey to meet him by the senior bathroom at

1143
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: three pm because he's going to kill him and punch

1144
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: the kid. Now, the whole wave. Just if you want

1145
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 1: to beat somebody up, beat him up and walk, because

1146
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 1: then you're already alone. Why wait, But you know, when

1147
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 1: this show took place in the nineteen fifties, that's what

1148
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: you did. You made up they were going to rumble

1149
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: after they had their you know, they're driving their fifties cars. Well,

1150
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: I think, actually, I think the thought processes. If it's

1151
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: after three, if it's after school hours, the school can't

1152
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: punish you for it in their own even I know

1153
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: on the in the bathroom they could. But like the

1154
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: reason people would say meet me in the parking lot

1155
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: at three o'clock is because like behind the library. Library.

1156
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Really yeah, Andy foss shout out to Andy Fosse, and

1157
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: I got a new fist fight. I lost badly. Okay,

1158
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: just for the record, thank you Andy. So we're in

1159
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: the school cafeteria. Mr Phoenie hands Mr Turner at comic

1160
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: book and Turner admits, yeah, he signed its dynamic. By

1161
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: the way, I know was a really nice because it

1162
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: was like, ah, now Turner's part of the group, and

1163
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: and being questioned there's tension between the teachers. Teachers really

1164
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: different and Greek actually has a foe, like a real

1165
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: not just a child, you know. Um, so, yeah, I

1166
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: thought this was great. He Phoene says he knows Turner

1167
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: is the new groovy teacher, but Phoene says he wants

1168
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: the students closer to his level, and then a rivalry.

1169
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 1: We see the rivalry between the two of them has started,

1170
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: and then the two nerds from the beginning of the

1171
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: episode walk in. Another opportunity for Lee Norris to have

1172
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: been a shining Star in this episode, but they get

1173
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: hit by doors that Corey then opens up yea, and

1174
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: they of course then say the same thing they just

1175
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: said again. Uh. Corey wishes lunch was mac and cheese

1176
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: so that when Harley punches him later he would puke

1177
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: all over him and make a your mess. Sean says

1178
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: they need Eric's help, and Eric is actually nearby eating

1179
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: lunch with the two girls we saw earlier, Marguerite Moreau,

1180
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: who was later known for tons of work including Mighty

1181
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 1: Ducks and Wet Hot American Summer. She was so nice,

1182
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: she was She was absolutely well wonderful actress and a

1183
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,439
Speaker 1: very nice person. That's what I remember most about her. Well,

1184
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: so Sean goes over to Eric and the girls. They're

1185
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: flirt with him too. I know Sean's got game apparent

1186
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: has started to become the girl magnet yep, were you

1187
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: teen magazine guy by this point by season two? Had

1188
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: it started yet? I must have been right? It must

1189
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 1: like I'm wondering if they're playing into that now, because

1190
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we've got to break out, you know,

1191
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: teen idol. Let's write to that question, because you went

1192
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: right to girls now, I mean, you're instantly like they're

1193
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: starting to switch. This is where Eric and Sean starts

1194
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: to switch, where all of a sudden, it's you're you're

1195
01:04:53,520 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: a girl crazy right, so uh, Sean says at three o'clock,

1196
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: Eric actually won't have a brother if he doesn't help.

1197
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Eric pretends to drink water at the water fountain, will

1198
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: talking to Corey, uh slightly helping him get out of

1199
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: trouble by going to the nurses station. Yeah, pretended to

1200
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: be sick. Go to the nurse station and then wait

1201
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: for mom and dad to pick you home or pick

1202
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: you up, or you could just fight the guy if

1203
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to look like a coward. And then

1204
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: Harley furiously walks into the lunchroom and asks who took

1205
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: the last piece of chicken, which Corey happens to be holding,

1206
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: so he immediately drops it. And then Eric walks away

1207
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: and says, do not attempt to recontact me. And I

1208
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: thought Ben's line of how did you how did you

1209
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: do this? You know, you ruined this in a day,

1210
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: and he's like, it didn't take me the whole day,

1211
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: how badly in a day? It didn't take me the

1212
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: whole day. Take me the whole day that was so

1213
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: funny and absolutely great beat. Yeah. Yeah, this is a

1214
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: really cute This was a really cute brother moment. I

1215
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Another episode I have to say where I

1216
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: don't like particularly like the episode. But again Ben is

1217
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, Ben is really good, and especially this

1218
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 1: scene he's dropping the chicken out of his hand. He's

1219
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: hitting some beats that are very very funny. Yeah. And

1220
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: then we're in the nurse's office. Corey sits next to

1221
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: the two nerds and they are comparing their injuries. They

1222
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: say they're going to sit in this nurse's office every

1223
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: day to get picked up and stay safe. Corey asks

1224
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 1: if they think other kids will call them cowards and

1225
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: they don't care. Corey does care. He says he is

1226
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: not going to fake an injury. He's going to go

1227
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 1: get a real one. Would you guys have cared? Yes?

1228
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: If if people like would you have wanted to take

1229
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 1: the easy like, would you guys have got I mean,

1230
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:33,959
Speaker 1: Will said he just got into a fight in high school.

1231
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: You go to the fight. You go to the fight.

1232
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 1: There's sometimes if a bully is standing in front of you,

1233
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 1: the only thing you can do is punch him in

1234
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: the nose. You might lose, but you're gonna fight. That's

1235
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: just I don't know if that's the way just the

1236
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: way I was raised. You never start a fight, but

1237
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: if you can finish it, you do. And that's that's

1238
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: really gotten fights in high school, like grade school. I

1239
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: remember are six people in your high school you said,

1240
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: It's like, well, yeah, this was my I mean, this

1241
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: was my I was already working, like I don't know,

1242
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't all in with But no. Sometimes again, what

1243
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: do they say that the rider I'm sure you know

1244
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: the quote better than I. What is it? The uh

1245
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: a hero dies, but once a coward dies, a thousand

1246
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: deaths something like that, because it's because you you know,

1247
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep dying inside if you don't stand up

1248
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: for yourself. So that was very real to me, and

1249
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: that resonated to me where it's like, this is going

1250
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: to determine your your life now for the rest of

1251
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: your life, because there's people that were bullied that didn't

1252
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: stand up that are now in their forties that look

1253
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: back at that like that changed my life. Yeah, But

1254
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: there's also there's also the insinuation that it's sort of

1255
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of blaming the victim with these guys right,

1256
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: like they're because they're being nerdy, like they want to

1257
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: continue being coward, Like they shouldn't be in this position

1258
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: to begin with. There should not be situations. Not some

1259
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:55,479
Speaker 1: giant older kid is a situations like that all the time.

1260
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: That's the thing. It's there shouldn't be but but but

1261
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily need to go to a fight in

1262
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: order to not be a coward. You can also find

1263
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: other ways of managing a situation. And of course I

1264
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: just wanted to for of course this show is again

1265
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: in this retro mode of like, you know, there's the

1266
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: nerds and they're just gonna be weekly and they're going

1267
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,639
Speaker 1: to take the easy ways before being nerds was cool

1268
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: and and uh yeah, no, I agree, there's obviously other

1269
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 1: ways to go about it, but they're trying to make

1270
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: it as cartoony again cartoony possible one avenue or the

1271
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 1: other avenue, And we're making it as blatantly cartoony as

1272
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: we possibly can. I'd just like to shout out to

1273
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 1: the nerd what would be called Nerd number two because

1274
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: I referred to call refused to call him lemkey, but

1275
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: he was pretty funny. I thought with the whole and

1276
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: I've got ASTHM and he's like, oh yeah, you win,

1277
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: Like he that was he had some funny beats as

1278
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: an actor. I thought he had some funny beats, but

1279
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: with what they were given. Well. It is now three

1280
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:54,679
Speaker 1: pm in the school hallway and Mr Turner sees Corey

1281
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: sitting there. Corey asks if the guy in the Odyssey

1282
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: gets home alive, and Turner says he does after facing

1283
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: few obstacles, and then he's off for the day. He

1284
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: starts to leave. Sean runs over to support Corey, but

1285
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: then a girl walks by and he leaves with her

1286
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 1: immediately again Sean's got game. And then Corey is about

1287
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:15,799
Speaker 1: to leave himself at three oh five, but then Harley

1288
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: opens the bathroom door and is ready to brawl Corey

1289
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: in the whole way again like there is still in

1290
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: the schools, Like what the hell's the point still there? Yeah? Yeah,

1291
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:31,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have parking lot set apparently, so Corey is

1292
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: about to leave. Corey says he would rather be dead

1293
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: than the school coward for the next six years, so

1294
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: he's ready to get beat up. So we mentioned that

1295
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: we would be in the school for six more years.

1296
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,480
Speaker 1: But then we're only in the school for four but anyway,

1297
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 1: uh so he's ready to get beat up, and then

1298
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Harley gets into position, but then Eric jumps over the

1299
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: law man. I thought it was so cool, and I

1300
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 1: remember jumping over the wall being like, yeah, this is

1301
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: this is awesome. That's you undercut it with a joke

1302
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: right away. It was like, as it was happening, I

1303
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: was like, oh god, this feels really lazy, and I

1304
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, of course Will is going to save it. Yeah,

1305
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: it was. It was a fun beat. I remember that.

1306
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: I remember thinking to myself like, oh, they're gonna keep

1307
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: me in the show. Like essentially, they're working Eric into

1308
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:18,640
Speaker 1: the show where he's still be a matter in the

1309
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: show because again we've now Lee's gone and we don't

1310
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: know he was coming. Who's going what's going to happen

1311
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: right now? They're going in a bunch of new characters.

1312
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 1: My oh my god. My dad was convinced that that um,

1313
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: Harley was going to become the new Fanzie and Eric

1314
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: was slowly going to be taken off the show. He

1315
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: was convinced. Oh my my dad was He's like, you

1316
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: got it, you got it, you got you think that's

1317
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: going to happen. You know. I think he called my

1318
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: agent like all that kind of stuff, and I was like,

1319
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: I was like, Dad, it's gonna be fine, It's gonna

1320
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:52,599
Speaker 1: be fine. Um. But yeah, they were they thought they

1321
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: were doing that whole new dynamic and that was gonna

1322
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 1: be it. So yeah, strange. Wow, Well, Eric is going

1323
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 1: to defend Corey. He jumps in front of Harley and

1324
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 1: he only admits that Corey is his brother and you

1325
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: guys work together, which is very cute. Harley begins to

1326
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: push Eric, but Mr Turner appears and stops the confrontation.

1327
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: Harley asks who he is, not knowing that Mr. Turner

1328
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: is a new teacher, but he learns quickly. Mr Turner

1329
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: plays the cool guy and asks Harley not to kill

1330
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: his students, and Harley realizes he couldn't take Mr Turner,

1331
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: so he leaves that's I know, it's really cute. Was

1332
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 1: that could I thank you? Nah? I could have taken

1333
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: the kid though. It is crazy how much contemporaries though, Yeah,

1334
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:35,680
Speaker 1: like age wise, it's mind yeah, of course. Uh So

1335
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,719
Speaker 1: Corey thinks Mr Turner and then he thinks his brother Eric,

1336
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 1: who in turn pretends not to know him again, which

1337
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: again I thought that was all very cute. Listen, I

1338
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 1: was there for you when I need when you needed me.

1339
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: But we're back to status quell and I'll talk to

1340
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: me again. Uh. And then Corey tells Sean he can

1341
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 1: get out of the locker now, which I thought, how

1342
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: do we know he's in the locker. I didn't know

1343
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: he was in the locker, and and Corey did not

1344
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 1: see him go into the locker, like I just went

1345
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 1: off camera. So yeah, that was weird. I exactly was like,

1346
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 1: what it's also, I'm sorry to point this out kind

1347
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 1: of weirdly, but you have to imagine she's Eric's age

1348
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 1: because they were having lunch, so she's in the locker

1349
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 1: with the seventh grader Junior high. A little strange, saying

1350
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 1: little odd, little odd. Again. I guess the idea is

1351
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 1: that if you're in the same school, and that's why, truthfully,

1352
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: that's why schools are set up that way, is so

1353
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: that adult ish style teens are not in school with

1354
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: people who are supposed to be twelve or who are twelve.

1355
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: Someone who's seventeen in a locker with somebody who's twelve

1356
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 1: or thirteen is a little creepy, I just think, but

1357
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's again a lot of it maybe

1358
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 1: more than a creepy, but again I think so much

1359
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: of it was like, suspend your disbelief about what's going

1360
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: on here. Just even eighteen year old actors us and

1361
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: we don't have to deal with kid hours. That's not

1362
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 1: just that, but also let's get to as many laughs

1363
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 1: as possible and also appeal to maybe what was an

1364
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: ABC mandate of aging us up that they wanted a

1365
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 1: high school show, but we started off being eleven, and

1366
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 1: so how do you go from the govern production I

1367
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: think it's purely production concerns. They were they were sick

1368
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: and tired of not having the hours and not having

1369
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: the time and having to deal with more teachers and

1370
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 1: more kids. So it was like, let's cut down the

1371
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 1: kid cast. So essentially at this point was you, me

1372
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: and Ben. That was it for the That was it,

1373
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: Like we would didn't try again with anybody. Know, everybody

1374
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: else was an eighteen plus, and it was like so

1375
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 1: they could have they could work extra hours, they didn't

1376
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 1: have to have teachers and didn't have the social workers,

1377
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 1: didn't have to have parents, so like everybody was older.

1378
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, how old were Blake and Ethan in your

1379
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 1: life at this point my age or older? Actually, they

1380
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,680
Speaker 1: might have been older the Baker, I think, and they

1381
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: might have been older than me by this point, and

1382
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: Danny must have been like at least yeah, So it

1383
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 1: was yeah. No. I also think you could argue that

1384
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: they made it as cartoony as possible because they're in

1385
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 1: this new mythical high school world and it just the

1386
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 1: giant cartoon. Because I'd like to think, and again, I

1387
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: haven't seen the show in years. Ridy you've never seen it. Daniel,

1388
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,759
Speaker 1: you haven't seen in years. I think it grounds itself,

1389
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:13,759
Speaker 1: I hope. So I think I think the out Yeah,

1390
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 1: I think so too. So maybe it's the first day

1391
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 1: is supposed to be this crazy look and it's supposed

1392
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: to give us this feeling yes, comfortable, Yeah, because I

1393
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: don't recall it being this outlandishly off the wall with

1394
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: teachers like Marion coming in, Like I I think this

1395
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 1: was a one off. I'm hoping this was a one

1396
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: off and it's gonna it's gonna come back down to earth,

1397
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 1: we can hope. So the the locker is opened and

1398
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: Corey sees that Sean is in there, with a girl,

1399
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: and he says they're big lockers in high school, which

1400
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 1: it is very funny, and then we get into our

1401
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 1: end credits and we wrap up the episode. In the

1402
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 1: Matthews living room, Corey walks in, saying his brother is Eric,

1403
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: the great one Matthews. Eric says an older kid was

1404
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: picking on Corey and he hates it when people do that,

1405
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 1: and then he himself picks on Corey and grabs the about.

1406
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Morgan grabs the remote next and takes full control of

1407
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: the TV. The family falls into place. She yells, everybody

1408
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,719
Speaker 1: stopped talking. I'm watching TV. And then now that's power,

1409
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 1: Morgan says. And we end the episode, and that was

1410
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 1: a big laugh for Indie. She's in control. He's just

1411
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: like ye still like yeah, it's really funny, that's great.

1412
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: And he was definitely weirded out by me being in

1413
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: the locker with a girl. Oh really, I don't I

1414
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:31,720
Speaker 1: just don't know how we're going to deal with this

1415
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: now that I'm gonna be making out. I started prepping

1416
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 1: him out. I was like, yeah, that's gonna be happening

1417
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:40,759
Speaker 1: a lot more. But really, yeah, is he still enjoying

1418
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:44,640
Speaker 1: watching it? Yeah? I mean he definitely. Like, I don't know,

1419
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: the second season is gonna be interesting. I think it's

1420
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: gonna be really different. I think this episode felt off,

1421
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, like basically after the first scene, I don't

1422
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 1: think he was comfortable again until now were we Like

1423
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: he was leaving the house made and leaving the regular

1424
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 1: characters made him uncomfortable. I think Phoeney as a principal

1425
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 1: was cool. He liked that. But yeah, he's very much

1426
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 1: still you know, he's still in the Little Kids Well

1427
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: season as his favorite character of Morgan. I have bad

1428
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: news for him. Oh jeez. So the next episode we

1429
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: are going to recap is season two, episode two, pairing Off,

1430
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 1: which already sounds like bad news for India as well.

1431
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about it, but pairing Off sounds

1432
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 1: like it's someone's kissing someone and it originally aired September.

1433
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 1: And there we go, guys, I'm super uncomfy. I hope

1434
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: I hope we get I hope we get. Come for

1435
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: your later. I'm thinking the next episode that pairing Off

1436
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 1: is the one with the second one with Marguerite Moreau,

1437
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: and it's not going to be comfy. Oh no, yeah,

1438
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: if memory serves, there's some some conversations to have with

1439
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, we're I really did. I got the chills.

1440
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 1: We're settling back down here. Is it time to bring

1441
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: that therapist on yet? Are we to do that? Yeah,

1442
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:04,720
Speaker 1: that's kind of a but I'm uncomfortable even with the

1443
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: classroom facing the opposite direction, and I'm like, no, no,

1444
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: this isn't right. This isn't right. And I worked in

1445
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 1: that classroom, like is this the way the classroom was

1446
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 1: all season like? But I'm just like, no, no, that's okay, right,

1447
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 1: hate do this because I know that producer husband Jensen

1448
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: carp Um does the bulk of the reading and then

1449
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: and then sends it out to us. But I'd be

1450
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:30,640
Speaker 1: really curious if everybody else felt as uncomfortable by watching this.

1451
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: Please send us your emails, Yeah, because I'm curious if

1452
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 1: they're like, no, it didn't bother me at all. There's

1453
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: no that's uncomfortable. They've watched it a million times. It's like,

1454
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they're watching if people are going in

1455
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: order like us, Yeah, I am curious. I think that

1456
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: there is people I liked it, Tara liked it, Okay.

1457
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 1: I think there are people who really gravitate towards first

1458
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: season point it's World, and then there are people who

1459
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: really like later season Boy MEAs World, you know, And

1460
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: I think that we're just We're just kind of in

1461
01:17:57,560 --> 01:17:59,680
Speaker 1: the in between right now. I'm hoping we get more

1462
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 1: comfort well. But I have to say I always thought

1463
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 1: first season a boy Meets World in my memory, having

1464
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 1: not seen it, I always thought the first season was

1465
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:10,679
Speaker 1: pretty bad too. That was my assumption. So we didn't

1466
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:12,720
Speaker 1: know what our show was and that we became a

1467
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: better show, and that is completely reversed right now. I

1468
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 1: think the first season was spectacular. I love it for

1469
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 1: all the you know, little kid coziness of it, and

1470
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 1: I am terrified about what's to come. I think we

1471
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta chalk this up to It was a

1472
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 1: whole different experience for us. It was a whole different

1473
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 1: experience for our crew. We had new producers. We're gonna

1474
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna fall into it again. We're gonna find ourselves,

1475
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna find our rhythm, and this was just a

1476
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 1: jarring one off. I think ye were forward like that

1477
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 1: will be fine. Yeah it was. There's definitely some growing

1478
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: pains um and that show we should recap. Uh just

1479
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: so you guys know so Tara said she liked it,

1480
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:57,720
Speaker 1: husband Jensen producer Jensen Carp was completely jarred, like just

1481
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 1: absolutely thrown off, had no idea what was goinging on.

1482
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 1: Felt the same way we did. Very uncomfortable and um uh.

1483
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 1: Jackie says it was jarring as well. So there we are. Anyway,

1484

Speaker 1: it was nice recapping with you guys, will sign us off.
