WEBVTT - TGI - Episode 119 (“Kid Gloves”) 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.159 What do you guys have planned for Thanksgiving? Will you 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:23.800 host Thanksgiving at your house? Don't you? We do? So 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:28.200 my wife is very Thanksgiving is her I think essentially 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:32.280 her favorite holiday. There was a lot of her family 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:36.199 got together every Sunday night and even later in in 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.560 in life. Everybody would bring the kids everything, so the 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.559 family meal on Sunday night was very important. She could 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.040 kind of capture that with um Thanksgiving. So she puts 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.440 a lot into Thanksgiving, and the numbers have dwindled. There's 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.440 like four of us at the table, but there's still 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.319 nine thousand pounds worth of food and we then eat 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.280 for three weeks. Well, I really benefit this time of 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.440 year living close to Will. I benefit living close to 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.680 Will a lot throughout the year, but especially this time 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.840 of year because she is getting her baking together. She's 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.600 I mean it starts in October. She starts prepping like 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.120 I'm trying out a new thing, and then we'll just 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.080 drops off gifts on my porch, like here's some zucchini bread, 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.880 here's some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and I'm like, yes, please. 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:21.240 So your wife is a great cook. She is, and 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.320 we always end up talking about food and right, but right, 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.160 your wife is also a great foot. We do talk 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.880 about food. Food is good. We love food. Wright, What 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.959 are you doing about? Are you going? Yeah? I go 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.960 up to my parents in the week before Thanksgivings. We 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:38.760 do like a Thanksgiving up there, and then we have 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:43.480 a Thanksgiving in l A. But uh, my parents informed 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.680 me last week they are now vegan. What yeah, yeah, 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.600 I mean I grew up a vegetarian and then, um 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.800 my parents started eating meat like ten years ago whatever, 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.160 but now they've gone vegan. So I don't know what, 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.000 you know, we don't know what to do. My wife 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.640 was like such an amaze and cook and she, um 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.320 my wife, you know, loves meat like that's you know, 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.240 she's Italian Puerto Rican, Like everything is like a meat 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.040 dish and then like rice and beans or like a 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.920 meat and the pasta like. So, I don't know what 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.760 we're gonna do. And it definitely involves butter always. Uh 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.400 so it's gonna be interesting. Um but I think they're 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.480 gonna be pretty mellow about it and not too extreme. 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.160 But yeah, it's gonna be a different it's gonna be 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.440 a completely different Thanksgiving than I'm used to. You know, 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.840 we used actually bacon. Yeah, we used to, you know, 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.360 we used to actually uh shoot turkeys like cash wild 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.560 turkeys um on the property in the years past. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.840 because they'd always come on the property. So, like there 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.440 was one year I just like came outside and it 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.080 was early in the morning and there was like a 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.000 flock of turkeys. So like I went and got the 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:46.880 gun and shot the turkey that we ate that year. 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.520 It was never very good though, Like wild turkey is 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.239 so much tougher. It's like you don't realize how much 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.520 fattening up they do when they raised turkey. It's like 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.760 a wild turkey is not as good. So my mom 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.760 used to always like Brian the turkey because I was 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:04.480 the only way to like have moist turkey. Yeah, just 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:11.040 sat you can't pod made scatchcocks, go to arn her own. 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.480 You can start your podcast checking. At one point, okay, 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.519 just dropping on my porch please, She's like, I'm not 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.720 coming over to eat it. Just dropping at my house 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.280 coming over for for a meal wasn't even She's like, no, 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.239 you're gonna be allowed to do that now? Is is 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.640 the pandemic over? Can I see people I can come 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.000 to your house for a meal? Aren't we allowed? Yeah, 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.880 we're allowed. We're allowed. We're totally allowed. I was kind 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:35.400 of making a joke, but I think I've gotten so 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.040 used to being like, leave everything on the porch and 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.760 then back away slowly send me a text a minute. 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.400 I remember driving to Danielle's house during the pandemic to 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:53.120 do a game show from outside on the porch scuarantined. Yes, 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.520 her game show. That's a very start of the pandemic. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.840 Jensen and I did an Instagram game show called Scorn 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.240 where we gave aways stuff from our house and we 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.440 were like, how can we have guests? And so we 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.560 put a tape measure from where we were sitting inside 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.040 the house and there was a little exit. Was like, 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:18.280 you're allowed to stand right here. It was so much fun. 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.520 Oh man, that was a good time. Welcome to Pod 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.720 meets World. I'm Danielle Fishl And so what you do 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:36.200 is you take out the backbone. And so today we 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:40.800 are recapping season one, episode nineteen, kid Gloves. It originally 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.440 aired March. The synopsis is that Allan gives Corey a 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.159 gift for his birthday, a necklace with silver boxing gloves, 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.040 without explaining the meeting of them. To Corey, he is 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.800 careless and loses them. Corey feels terrible after hearing what 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.280 they mean to Alan. It was directed by David Trainer. 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.840 It was written by Jeff Minnell and uh, yeah, we 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.000 can jump into our recap. You will you actually, let's 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.680 see what you had to say. You said you had 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.840 just so freaking much to say. I want to. I 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.240 did not like this episode. Really, I did not like 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.200 this episode. I there was a lot about this episode 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.840 that I frankly, and again no disrespect to Minnell fan 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.840 of the you know, friend of ours fan of the show. 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.560 I thought the writing kind of overall in this episode. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.560 I feel like this entire episode was made so they 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.320 could redo the shot from the graduate that I feel 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.120 like that was the only thing. How about the fact 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.240 that it's Corey's birthday but no one wishes him a 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.240 happy birthday. His dad wishes him a happy birthday, and 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.400 then it's never mentioned again. It's like, is this is 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.200 supposed to be Corey's birthday? Eric is a dick throughout 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.960 this entire episode. Um, this is just yeah. I was 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.240 watching this like, Wow, this might be my least favorite 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.920 episode so far. That's funny. I wouldn't say it's my 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.160 least favorite episode, but it did feel a little off 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.080 to me. I'm not sure why, but it was just 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.280 everything everything seemed a little even down to like Rusty's hair. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.679 I was like, Rusty needs a haircut. It's like something. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.240 It's like, I don't know. I just felt a little 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.840 rough around. I feel like we had sort of like 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.440 hit our groove and then taking things for granted. By 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.640 the time we shot the episode, we all know what 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:17.359 we're doing, and I just feel like it was phoned 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.920 in in some ways. I don't know, or rushed or something. 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.720 But there's so much I remembered about it that I like, like, 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:24.880 you're something creepy under boat Andy. We'll get to all. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.440 I mean, but I sat here watching this episode and 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.000 maybe I was in a bad mood, but I don't. 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.200 I was just like, I don't like this episode. I 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.960 just didn't. I didn't like me in this and that 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.520 wasn't the acting. I didn't like the way Eric was written. 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.600 I didn't like the way that parents kind of came off. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.920 I didn't like how it was his birthday but it 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.320 wasn't um. I didn't like all the kids in their 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.320 bathing suits. I mean, it was like, there's a lot 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.320 about this episode I just did not like. And it's 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.440 not wokeness. It was just I didn't think it was 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.080 particularly well written, and that that's not minell because it's 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.520 the whole room. It just me great up a little 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.960 like it was. It had pieces of a bunch of 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.520 different drafts where they were like, this was kept from here, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.240 and then this was kept from here, and we have 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.400 to keep this line even though it had been the 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.640 whole script had been altered enough times that maybe that 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.400 line didn't really still fit there anymore, but someone was 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.080 holding onto it for some reason, So I agree. I 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.760 will say, though um I liked, well, we'll get to it. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.840 There was a part of it that I really did like. 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.240 And yet the part of it that I really liked 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.960 was one of those parts I'm saying didn't really feel 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.600 like it fit in with this episode, But if it 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.360 were in another episode, I think I would have really 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:34.520 liked it. So we start in Phoenie's classroom. Mr Peenie 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.520 is telling his class about extracurricular activities they can pick from, 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.040 and they each have to pick one. There's vocabulary club, 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:45.600 debate team, the upholstery club, and scuba club, which is amazing. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.760 By the way, scuba and like sixth grade, what an 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.720 incredible thing. Like again, it's not a real thing. They 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:53.160 did it so they could do the shot from the 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.080 gradual scuba club in sixth grade. And maybe there is 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.920 a certain private schools. I actually did scuba as my 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:11.200 pe in college. He e credit Scoopa. Was Yeah, unbelievable. 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.800 This first scene was great. The first scene was I 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.360 thought the setup was great. I thought he'll give it, 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:21.360 He'll give this scene. I I mean, I just I 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.200 just like the classroom scenes now because we're also comfortable. 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.200 You know, Lee is just hysterical obviously, and like I 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.560 don't know, it just feels like the dynamics and like 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.600 you just accept that, you know, he's only gonna talk 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:36.800 to Sean and Corey, and but it's it's getting more comfortable. 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.959 I know it sounds strange because you think you shouldn't 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.640 see it because he's such a season pro. But he's 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.120 like I think, working with children through him a bit 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.720 at first, and now he's to a point where he's 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.920 just playing off you guys, and you're playing off of him, 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.760 and it's great. I think he's also now more comfortable 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.440 with the live studio audience, so he feels more at 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.400 ease because he knows now about holding for laughs and 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.720 he you know, I think I think he's more comfortable 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:07.000 in that sense. Um even his face with the with 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.920 the upholstery club, like he throws a little face that's hysteric. 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.720 I mean, the little moments are awesome. Korey and Sean 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.840 picked the Scuba club, while Minkus picks between the Vocabulary 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.040 Club and the debate team. But then Topanga also picks 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.400 Scuba and Mincas says, slap me in a what suit 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.400 and throw me overboard. He is so stink and cute. 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:30.800 I can't stand it and great. Yes. Phoene asks the 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:35.280 class what the acronym of scuba is, and Corey says duba, 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.280 which I didn't remember. And I actually think it's almost 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:43.199 better than something creepy under It's really funny, not the 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.680 exact same thing. So funny to me that something creep 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.720 under boat was so memorable for us. It's so funny, 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:53.760 but was just as funny. Forgot it. We all forgot it. 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.120 It's really funny. So Phoene explains what an acronym is 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.800 and Shawn says it stands for something in Creepy Underboat Andy. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.840 And then Mr Feeney says, Mr Hunter actually doesn't say 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:07.760 he says, at first he said, Mr Hunter, you haven't 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.480 spoken since the fourth grade? So was he also your 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.760 fourth grade teacher? I guess so. But here's the other thing. 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.520 He just spoke, I know, just two sentences. He go, 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.839 he actually spoke. He also did me a tribute what 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.559 Corey said to Mr Hunter, Like it's like he he 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.760 said the other way around. He said, Shawn says something 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.199 and he says Mr Matthew stopped and Corey goes, that 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.640 was Sean. I mean, like he the kid just talks. 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.440 And it's a really easy adjustment to to say, Mr Hunter, 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.120 you haven't given a correct answer since the fourth grade. 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.560 You haven't tried to answer a question, you haven't whatever. 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.160 Like I was like, that was my first kind of 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.920 like okay, they're just that doesn't make any sense. Like well, 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.520 so Will originally said he likes the first scene. But 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:55.920 now problem no, one, let's pack it back. You know, 0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:00.679 sometimes grandpa's get cranky, but you're the best grandpa ever. 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.240 Mr Feenie asks Mincas to give the correct answer, and 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.680 Minca says no, because he doesn't want to know everything. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.360 He wants to be. He wants to fit in and 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.720 he wants to be like one of the normal, stupid guys. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.120 And then Mincas kids kind of unmotivated, like why why 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.640 is Mincas? It feels like a holdover from an old 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.360 episode where he was trying to be like us or 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.600 you know, like, yeah, it's a weird non suit. Yes, 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.400 I agree, it feels like a holdover where I guess 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.160 that was just kind of though. They waffled between Mincus 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.240 loving being the no at all and also being like 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.760 why is it always me? And this was the time 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.280 where they decided it was a why is it always me? 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.000 Just just for the joke of because it doesn't it 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.760 doesn't play into the episode at all. No, it doesn't 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.679 play into the episode. Um. So he eventually gives the 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.480 correct answer and then says he hates himself, and Sean says, 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.160 you're not the only one, and then we get into 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.839 our opening credits and you know what, I noticed this 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.920 episode had a lot of Also something I didn't love 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:05.880 zoom in is on which bedroom. Yes, it never happened before. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.160 That's what I was like, because I literally saw that 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.920 and I was like, oh, it's a sideyard because what 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.720 I said, But then it doesn't make any sense if 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.040 that's the window. Okay, so that's that's the window. Basically, 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.280 if it zooms into that window for the for the 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.040 boy's bedroom, then the tree is off the side. But 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.120 then you can't but then that can't be the front door. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.920 If that's the kick exactly exactly, then it can't be 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.599 the front door. So it does. So it totally is 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.880 an m c es your house. It's like, it makes 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.400 no sense, It makes no sense none, it can't. It 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.760 just doesn't work. And so then that would also that 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.319 window that we're zooming in on in those exteriors is 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.800 off a window on the fourth wall, like where the 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.360 camera is exactly, which doesn't make any sense because then 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.640 the tree is outside that went to the right. That 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.559 is the tree that which is not right because if there, 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.520 if you're leaving the kitchen, you can't be Yeah, that 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.840 is exactly what I said. Writer, I said out loud 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:01.400 to husband Jensen, car, producer of this guest, I said, wow, well, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.559 based on this window. But and I guess this is 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.319 the first time we've done the zoom on the exterior 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:11.440 because I think I've never noticed it before and four times, 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.080 four times, and then they also had the night shot 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.400 where it was like a jib out front, like a 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.839 jim shot. I was like, what, so they must have 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.760 gotten more exteriors after, like right at this point, like 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.120 after we got picked up for the back nine, and 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.920 they were like, go film some more. It was an 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.120 actual it was an actual pan. It wasn't digital. It 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.080 was an actual push and it wasn't a digital push, 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.680 right yeah, okay, well digital didn't exist yet. Many Danielle 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.959 Yeah do you when you're just home alone referred to 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.920 him as husband Jensen Car, producer of this podcast. I'm 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.880 just curious, I leave off producer of this podcast, but 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.439 he's in my phone as husband Jensen Car. Okay, you 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.760 made the last name to just yeah. Yeah, well I 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.640 I have other husband Jensen's Okay, fair enough. So it 0:13:51.760 --> 0:14:04.280 was just checking this is husband Jensen Car. That makes sense. Uh. 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.320 So then we get that fancy zoom in on the bedroom. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.959 Alan sneaks in while the boys are sleeping and he 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.439 puts a box on Corey's face and then he sneaks out. 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.240 Eric sees the box and wakes Corey up with a megaphone. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.720 Corey opens the box with a birthday card from his dad. 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.560 He finds the netflix could have picked up the bone 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.400 and hit him, but you picked up the megaphone. Megaphone. 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.720 You know what I remember about this scene. I remember 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.440 this was one of the first scenes that I realized 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.640 could they always talk about like different words being funnier 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.760 than other words, and how you can hit certain words, 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.440 and how this was the scene that taught me that 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.480 that was absolutely true because Corey, there's a box in 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:47.240 your face, ending with face and hitting it made the 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.760 scent made it funnier than there's a box in your 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.000 forehead or there's a box in your head, your head 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.600 right there, Corey's a box in your face, like it 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.840 made me realize that that that is true the funniest 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:00.880 Remember that David Kendall funny scale where we talk about 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.280 size like funny, funny, funny, funny, not funny, not funny, funny, funny, 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.920 not funny enough. And he also said that with certain words, 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.880 where certain words are funnier than other words. The way 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:10.200 you hit him, and I was like, come on, how 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.400 can just the sound of a word be funny? But 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.160 this is one of those scenes where he's a hundred 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.640 percent right. It was if you just get that face 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:19.840 and you end it with face for some reason, that's 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.560 funnier than face. Face is a funnier word. You're absolutely right, 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.160 and the way you hit it very funny, very funny. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.120 So Corey opens it, finds the necklace and says, hey, 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:31.640 it's not a buck knife. And Corey is disappointed with 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.880 his becoming a man gift, especially since Eric got a knife. 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.720 So someone kept pitching the idea of Corey wanting to 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.880 pretend to be Jewish so that he could do a 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.120 bar mitztaf And so is it a general thing that 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.880 like when you is he? Is he now thirteen? Is 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.600 this his thirteenth birthday? Is it like a common thing 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.800 that thirteen is the year when you become a man 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.280 outside of the Jewish tradition, a religion outside of the 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.360 Jewish tradition, or yeah, like for everyone, because he's I 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.840 don't think he's turning twelve. I think he's turning twelve 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:07.640 because the fugitive we're twelve. We live again. Mm hmm wow, Okay, 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.760 So I don't know. I'm assuming is this his thirteenth birthday? 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.400 And if it is, I guess your teenage years is something. 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.320 So that's when you become a man. No, not really, 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.320 I'm just I'm just wondering this is it's it's like 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.280 he's it's he's becoming a man gift. So I don't 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.240 think there is a specific kind of there. There is 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:31.000 no like specific age outside of the Jewish. But maybe 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.040 it's because it's like thirteen has thought of as being 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.520 like the first year of maybe starting puberty. So maybe 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.320 the years I speak, it's when you become a teenager. Right, 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.200 it's thirteen. It does seem like a leap up and something. 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:47.280 And then you're thirteen when you start high school. Yeah, okay. 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.080 So Eric says that little trinkets are important to Alan 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.800 and he has to act grateful by wearing the necklace, 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.840 and Corey says he's just going to pretend he never 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.920 found it, and then we are downstairs in the Matthews kitchen. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.240 Alan tells Amy that Corey is going to love him 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.480 a little bit more today than he loves her because 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.240 he gave him his silver gloves. Corey comes downstairs in 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.479 a rush to get his permission slip for scuba lessons. 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.080 He quickly says thank you to his dad, and Alan 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.760 is sad now that I think about it. Why would 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.080 Alan think that giving him jewelry is that cool? How 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.680 about nobody wishing him a happy birthday? How about am 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.480 not saying happy birthday or like having a cake for 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.200 him later on the doake. No nobody says anything. Nobody 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.560 says happy birthday, Seawann doesn't say happy, Hey, buddy, it's 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.560 your birthday. It's never brought up. I never thought about 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:36.000 that it's Corey's birthday by anyone in the family. Yeah, 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.399 that does seem like a big miss. Yeah. Also, I 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.520 mean definitely a really big miss to think that you 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.840 could give your thirteen year old son a necklace and 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.600 not tell him why it's important exactly, not tell him anything. 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.800 You leave it on his face, and then you expect 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:53.680 him to be happy and like he's gonna love me 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.280 more than you today with your wife. Like no, like 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.880 I don't it just it made no sense. I didn't 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.720 get it. I just didn't get this one for something. Yeah. Well, 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.320 Amy asks if Corey even knows the significance of those 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.840 silver gloves, and he says not yet, and we find 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.160 we find out in that moment that he won them. 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.040 Morgan comes down and asks why she doesn't have a 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.200 gift on her face, and they tell her that big 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.440 girls don't get gifts on other people's birthdays. She feels 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.800 bad and runs back upstairs, and Alan wants to buy 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.240 her love and Amy says, please don't cave in, and 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.440 that whole scene is just over nobody, and yeah, that's it. 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:33.960 There you go, okay, And then we go into the 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:37.560 school cafeteria. It's scuba class. Corey and Shawn are prepping 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:42.119 for scuba lessons. There's a Darth Vader reference. And I 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:47.439 remember this scene so well. I remember all of us 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:51.320 being so nervous. We feel very weird about our bodies, 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.600 so cold, so cold and uncomfortable. H I was just 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.440 watching this, you know. I just remember feeling bad about 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.200 my body, which is his stercase. And I'm like, I'm 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.959 just a skinny little kid, but I and I remember, 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.440 you know, Ben was very insecure too. I remember Band 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.080 pulling his shorts up as high as he could because 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.200 he was just feeling which is ridiculously why are we why? 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.080 But I guess you're just self conscious as a kid, 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.560 Like you're just conscious about your body. Yeah, and and 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.080 and it's interesting that it's written into the scene too 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.000 that we're all like self conscious about our bodies or 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:23.920 you know this is going to be a right to 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.399 it a little bit. Yeah, yeah they were. I mean 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:29.560 they had to, I guess because it was kind of weird, 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.520 like I don't know, or maybe they maybe maybe it 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:34.240 was because it was written to Like what if he 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.640 just did a scene that wasn't about you know, where 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.440 we just were wearing bathing suits like and not talking 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.240 about it. I don't know, well, because I I remember 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.600 very much the same thing, right. I remember being very 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:50.320 nervous and uncomfortable and very cold and super self conscious. 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:51.879 And you can see it when I cross over to 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:53.720 the table later and and Lee is there with me, 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:55.879 I like put my hands across my stomach and then 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.440 crossing my arms across my body. You see, It's like 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.280 like a thing I never do when I'm wearing close 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:05.040 like completely blocking my body real life. I'm doing that 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:06.920 and it probably looks weird. And then I un crossed 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.760 my arms, and I remember I did think while I 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.400 was watching it last night, I did think, well, that's 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.320 a very real experience. Kids are uncomfortable and do feel 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.720 self conscious about their bodies and are looking at other 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:21.840 bodies and comparing their's to other kids. And then I 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.520 also had the same thought, which was, huh, I wonder 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.800 how much more like than to to have to have 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:32.119 it be written to that directly and to be the 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.000 actor bringing it to life. It is just one of 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.960 those situations. That's Yeah. It was very uncomfortable. Um. Again, 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:41.760 I had a little PTSD from the scene because as 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:45.200 the fat kid growing up, which I always was, having 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.080 to do gym class where it was like shirts and 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:49.280 skins and having to take off your shirt and being 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:51.600
