Speaker 1: What do you guys have planned for Thanksgiving? Will you
Speaker 1: host Thanksgiving at your house? Don't you? We do? So
Speaker 1: my wife is very Thanksgiving is her I think essentially
Speaker 1: her favorite holiday. There was a lot of her family
Speaker 1: got together every Sunday night and even later in in
Speaker 1: in life. Everybody would bring the kids everything, so the
Speaker 1: family meal on Sunday night was very important. She could
Speaker 1: kind of capture that with um Thanksgiving. So she puts
Speaker 1: a lot into Thanksgiving, and the numbers have dwindled. There's
Speaker 1: like four of us at the table, but there's still
Speaker 1: nine thousand pounds worth of food and we then eat
Speaker 1: for three weeks. Well, I really benefit this time of
Speaker 1: year living close to Will. I benefit living close to
Speaker 1: Will a lot throughout the year, but especially this time
Speaker 1: of year because she is getting her baking together. She's
Speaker 1: I mean it starts in October. She starts prepping like
Speaker 1: I'm trying out a new thing, and then we'll just
Speaker 1: drops off gifts on my porch, like here's some zucchini bread,
Speaker 1: here's some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and I'm like, yes, please.
Speaker 1: So your wife is a great cook. She is, and
Speaker 1: we always end up talking about food and right, but right,
Speaker 1: your wife is also a great foot. We do talk
Speaker 1: about food. Food is good. We love food. Wright, What
Speaker 1: are you doing about? Are you going? Yeah? I go
Speaker 1: up to my parents in the week before Thanksgivings. We
Speaker 1: do like a Thanksgiving up there, and then we have
Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving in l A. But uh, my parents informed
Speaker 1: me last week they are now vegan. What yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I grew up a vegetarian and then, um
Speaker 1: my parents started eating meat like ten years ago whatever,
Speaker 1: but now they've gone vegan. So I don't know what,
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know what to do. My wife
Speaker 1: was like such an amaze and cook and she, um
Speaker 1: my wife, you know, loves meat like that's you know,
Speaker 1: she's Italian Puerto Rican, Like everything is like a meat
Speaker 1: dish and then like rice and beans or like a
Speaker 1: meat and the pasta like. So, I don't know what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. And it definitely involves butter always. Uh
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be interesting. Um but I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty mellow about it and not too extreme.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's gonna be a different it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a completely different Thanksgiving than I'm used to. You know,
Speaker 1: we used actually bacon. Yeah, we used to, you know,
Speaker 1: we used to actually uh shoot turkeys like cash wild
Speaker 1: turkeys um on the property in the years past. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because they'd always come on the property. So, like there
Speaker 1: was one year I just like came outside and it
Speaker 1: was early in the morning and there was like a
Speaker 1: flock of turkeys. So like I went and got the
Speaker 1: gun and shot the turkey that we ate that year.
Speaker 1: It was never very good though, Like wild turkey is
Speaker 1: so much tougher. It's like you don't realize how much
Speaker 1: fattening up they do when they raised turkey. It's like
Speaker 1: a wild turkey is not as good. So my mom
Speaker 1: used to always like Brian the turkey because I was
Speaker 1: the only way to like have moist turkey. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: sat you can't pod made scatchcocks, go to arn her own.
Speaker 1: You can start your podcast checking. At one point, okay,
Speaker 1: just dropping on my porch please, She's like, I'm not
Speaker 1: coming over to eat it. Just dropping at my house
Speaker 1: coming over for for a meal wasn't even She's like, no,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be allowed to do that now? Is is
Speaker 1: the pandemic over? Can I see people I can come
Speaker 1: to your house for a meal? Aren't we allowed? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're allowed. We're allowed. We're totally allowed. I was kind
Speaker 1: of making a joke, but I think I've gotten so
Speaker 1: used to being like, leave everything on the porch and
Speaker 1: then back away slowly send me a text a minute.
Speaker 1: I remember driving to Danielle's house during the pandemic to
Speaker 1: do a game show from outside on the porch scuarantined. Yes,
Speaker 1: her game show. That's a very start of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Jensen and I did an Instagram game show called Scorn
Speaker 1: where we gave aways stuff from our house and we
Speaker 1: were like, how can we have guests? And so we
Speaker 1: put a tape measure from where we were sitting inside
Speaker 1: the house and there was a little exit. Was like,
Speaker 1: you're allowed to stand right here. It was so much fun.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that was a good time. Welcome to Pod
Speaker 1: meets World. I'm Danielle Fishl And so what you do
Speaker 1: is you take out the backbone. And so today we
Speaker 1: are recapping season one, episode nineteen, kid Gloves. It originally
Speaker 1: aired March. The synopsis is that Allan gives Corey a
Speaker 1: gift for his birthday, a necklace with silver boxing gloves,
Speaker 1: without explaining the meeting of them. To Corey, he is
Speaker 1: careless and loses them. Corey feels terrible after hearing what
Speaker 1: they mean to Alan. It was directed by David Trainer.
Speaker 1: It was written by Jeff Minnell and uh, yeah, we
Speaker 1: can jump into our recap. You will you actually, let's
Speaker 1: see what you had to say. You said you had
Speaker 1: just so freaking much to say. I want to. I
Speaker 1: did not like this episode. Really, I did not like
Speaker 1: this episode. I there was a lot about this episode
Speaker 1: that I frankly, and again no disrespect to Minnell fan
Speaker 1: of the you know, friend of ours fan of the show.
Speaker 1: I thought the writing kind of overall in this episode.
Speaker 1: I feel like this entire episode was made so they
Speaker 1: could redo the shot from the graduate that I feel
Speaker 1: like that was the only thing. How about the fact
Speaker 1: that it's Corey's birthday but no one wishes him a
Speaker 1: happy birthday. His dad wishes him a happy birthday, and
Speaker 1: then it's never mentioned again. It's like, is this is
Speaker 1: supposed to be Corey's birthday? Eric is a dick throughout
Speaker 1: this entire episode. Um, this is just yeah. I was
Speaker 1: watching this like, Wow, this might be my least favorite
Speaker 1: episode so far. That's funny. I wouldn't say it's my
Speaker 1: least favorite episode, but it did feel a little off
Speaker 1: to me. I'm not sure why, but it was just
Speaker 1: everything everything seemed a little even down to like Rusty's hair.
Speaker 1: I was like, Rusty needs a haircut. It's like something.
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know. I just felt a little
Speaker 1: rough around. I feel like we had sort of like
Speaker 1: hit our groove and then taking things for granted. By
Speaker 1: the time we shot the episode, we all know what
Speaker 1: we're doing, and I just feel like it was phoned
Speaker 1: in in some ways. I don't know, or rushed or something.
Speaker 1: But there's so much I remembered about it that I like, like,
Speaker 1: you're something creepy under boat Andy. We'll get to all.
Speaker 1: I mean, but I sat here watching this episode and
Speaker 1: maybe I was in a bad mood, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I was just like, I don't like this episode. I
Speaker 1: just didn't. I didn't like me in this and that
Speaker 1: wasn't the acting. I didn't like the way Eric was written.
Speaker 1: I didn't like the way that parents kind of came off.
Speaker 1: I didn't like how it was his birthday but it
Speaker 1: wasn't um. I didn't like all the kids in their
Speaker 1: bathing suits. I mean, it was like, there's a lot
Speaker 1: about this episode I just did not like. And it's
Speaker 1: not wokeness. It was just I didn't think it was
Speaker 1: particularly well written, and that that's not minell because it's
Speaker 1: the whole room. It just me great up a little
Speaker 1: like it was. It had pieces of a bunch of
Speaker 1: different drafts where they were like, this was kept from here,
Speaker 1: and then this was kept from here, and we have
Speaker 1: to keep this line even though it had been the
Speaker 1: whole script had been altered enough times that maybe that
Speaker 1: line didn't really still fit there anymore, but someone was
Speaker 1: holding onto it for some reason, So I agree. I
Speaker 1: will say, though um I liked, well, we'll get to it.
Speaker 1: There was a part of it that I really did like.
Speaker 1: And yet the part of it that I really liked
Speaker 1: was one of those parts I'm saying didn't really feel
Speaker 1: like it fit in with this episode, But if it
Speaker 1: were in another episode, I think I would have really
Speaker 1: liked it. So we start in Phoenie's classroom. Mr Peenie
Speaker 1: is telling his class about extracurricular activities they can pick from,
Speaker 1: and they each have to pick one. There's vocabulary club,
Speaker 1: debate team, the upholstery club, and scuba club, which is amazing.
Speaker 1: By the way, scuba and like sixth grade, what an
Speaker 1: incredible thing. Like again, it's not a real thing. They
Speaker 1: did it so they could do the shot from the
Speaker 1: gradual scuba club in sixth grade. And maybe there is
Speaker 1: a certain private schools. I actually did scuba as my
Speaker 1: pe in college. He e credit Scoopa. Was Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: This first scene was great. The first scene was I
Speaker 1: thought the setup was great. I thought he'll give it,
Speaker 1: He'll give this scene. I I mean, I just I
Speaker 1: just like the classroom scenes now because we're also comfortable.
Speaker 1: You know, Lee is just hysterical obviously, and like I
Speaker 1: don't know, it just feels like the dynamics and like
Speaker 1: you just accept that, you know, he's only gonna talk
Speaker 1: to Sean and Corey, and but it's it's getting more comfortable.
Speaker 1: I know it sounds strange because you think you shouldn't
Speaker 1: see it because he's such a season pro. But he's
Speaker 1: like I think, working with children through him a bit
Speaker 1: at first, and now he's to a point where he's
Speaker 1: just playing off you guys, and you're playing off of him,
Speaker 1: and it's great. I think he's also now more comfortable
Speaker 1: with the live studio audience, so he feels more at
Speaker 1: ease because he knows now about holding for laughs and
Speaker 1: he you know, I think I think he's more comfortable
Speaker 1: in that sense. Um even his face with the with
Speaker 1: the upholstery club, like he throws a little face that's hysteric.
Speaker 1: I mean, the little moments are awesome. Korey and Sean
Speaker 1: picked the Scuba club, while Minkus picks between the Vocabulary
Speaker 1: Club and the debate team. But then Topanga also picks
Speaker 1: Scuba and Mincas says, slap me in a what suit
Speaker 1: and throw me overboard. He is so stink and cute.
Speaker 1: I can't stand it and great. Yes. Phoene asks the
Speaker 1: class what the acronym of scuba is, and Corey says duba,
Speaker 1: which I didn't remember. And I actually think it's almost
Speaker 1: better than something creepy under It's really funny, not the
Speaker 1: exact same thing. So funny to me that something creep
Speaker 1: under boat was so memorable for us. It's so funny,
Speaker 1: but was just as funny. Forgot it. We all forgot it.
Speaker 1: It's really funny. So Phoene explains what an acronym is
Speaker 1: and Shawn says it stands for something in Creepy Underboat Andy.
Speaker 1: And then Mr Feeney says, Mr Hunter actually doesn't say
Speaker 1: he says, at first he said, Mr Hunter, you haven't
Speaker 1: spoken since the fourth grade? So was he also your
Speaker 1: fourth grade teacher? I guess so. But here's the other thing.
Speaker 1: He just spoke, I know, just two sentences. He go,
Speaker 1: he actually spoke. He also did me a tribute what
Speaker 1: Corey said to Mr Hunter, Like it's like he he
Speaker 1: said the other way around. He said, Shawn says something
Speaker 1: and he says Mr Matthew stopped and Corey goes, that
Speaker 1: was Sean. I mean, like he the kid just talks.
Speaker 1: And it's a really easy adjustment to to say, Mr Hunter,
Speaker 1: you haven't given a correct answer since the fourth grade.
Speaker 1: You haven't tried to answer a question, you haven't whatever.
Speaker 1: Like I was like, that was my first kind of
Speaker 1: like okay, they're just that doesn't make any sense. Like well,
Speaker 1: so Will originally said he likes the first scene. But
Speaker 1: now problem no, one, let's pack it back. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes grandpa's get cranky, but you're the best grandpa ever.
Speaker 1: Mr Feenie asks Mincas to give the correct answer, and
Speaker 1: Minca says no, because he doesn't want to know everything.
Speaker 1: He wants to be. He wants to fit in and
Speaker 1: he wants to be like one of the normal, stupid guys.
Speaker 1: And then Mincas kids kind of unmotivated, like why why
Speaker 1: is Mincas? It feels like a holdover from an old
Speaker 1: episode where he was trying to be like us or
Speaker 1: you know, like, yeah, it's a weird non suit. Yes,
Speaker 1: I agree, it feels like a holdover where I guess
Speaker 1: that was just kind of though. They waffled between Mincus
Speaker 1: loving being the no at all and also being like
Speaker 1: why is it always me? And this was the time
Speaker 1: where they decided it was a why is it always me?
Speaker 1: Just just for the joke of because it doesn't it
Speaker 1: doesn't play into the episode at all. No, it doesn't
Speaker 1: play into the episode. Um. So he eventually gives the
Speaker 1: correct answer and then says he hates himself, and Sean says,
Speaker 1: you're not the only one, and then we get into
Speaker 1: our opening credits and you know what, I noticed this
Speaker 1: episode had a lot of Also something I didn't love
Speaker 1: zoom in is on which bedroom. Yes, it never happened before.
Speaker 1: That's what I was like, because I literally saw that
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, it's a sideyard because what
Speaker 1: I said, But then it doesn't make any sense if
Speaker 1: that's the window. Okay, so that's that's the window. Basically,
Speaker 1: if it zooms into that window for the for the
Speaker 1: boy's bedroom, then the tree is off the side. But
Speaker 1: then you can't but then that can't be the front door.
Speaker 1: If that's the kick exactly exactly, then it can't be
Speaker 1: the front door. So it does. So it totally is
Speaker 1: an m c es your house. It's like, it makes
Speaker 1: no sense, It makes no sense none, it can't. It
Speaker 1: just doesn't work. And so then that would also that
Speaker 1: window that we're zooming in on in those exteriors is
Speaker 1: off a window on the fourth wall, like where the
Speaker 1: camera is exactly, which doesn't make any sense because then
Speaker 1: the tree is outside that went to the right. That
Speaker 1: is the tree that which is not right because if there,
Speaker 1: if you're leaving the kitchen, you can't be Yeah, that
Speaker 1: is exactly what I said. Writer, I said out loud
Speaker 1: to husband Jensen, car, producer of this guest, I said, wow, well,
Speaker 1: based on this window. But and I guess this is
Speaker 1: the first time we've done the zoom on the exterior
Speaker 1: because I think I've never noticed it before and four times,
Speaker 1: four times, and then they also had the night shot
Speaker 1: where it was like a jib out front, like a
Speaker 1: jim shot. I was like, what, so they must have
Speaker 1: gotten more exteriors after, like right at this point, like
Speaker 1: after we got picked up for the back nine, and
Speaker 1: they were like, go film some more. It was an
Speaker 1: actual it was an actual pan. It wasn't digital. It
Speaker 1: was an actual push and it wasn't a digital push,
Speaker 1: right yeah, okay, well digital didn't exist yet. Many Danielle
Speaker 1: Yeah do you when you're just home alone referred to
Speaker 1: him as husband Jensen Car, producer of this podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: just curious, I leave off producer of this podcast, but
Speaker 1: he's in my phone as husband Jensen Car. Okay, you
Speaker 1: made the last name to just yeah. Yeah, well I
Speaker 1: I have other husband Jensen's Okay, fair enough. So it
Speaker 1: was just checking this is husband Jensen Car. That makes sense. Uh.
Speaker 1: So then we get that fancy zoom in on the bedroom.
Speaker 1: Alan sneaks in while the boys are sleeping and he
Speaker 1: puts a box on Corey's face and then he sneaks out.
Speaker 1: Eric sees the box and wakes Corey up with a megaphone.
Speaker 1: Corey opens the box with a birthday card from his dad.
Speaker 1: He finds the netflix could have picked up the bone
Speaker 1: and hit him, but you picked up the megaphone. Megaphone.
Speaker 1: You know what I remember about this scene. I remember
Speaker 1: this was one of the first scenes that I realized
Speaker 1: could they always talk about like different words being funnier
Speaker 1: than other words, and how you can hit certain words,
Speaker 1: and how this was the scene that taught me that
Speaker 1: that was absolutely true because Corey, there's a box in
Speaker 1: your face, ending with face and hitting it made the
Speaker 1: scent made it funnier than there's a box in your
Speaker 1: forehead or there's a box in your head, your head
Speaker 1: right there, Corey's a box in your face, like it
Speaker 1: made me realize that that that is true the funniest
Speaker 1: Remember that David Kendall funny scale where we talk about
Speaker 1: size like funny, funny, funny, funny, not funny, not funny, funny, funny,
Speaker 1: not funny enough. And he also said that with certain words,
Speaker 1: where certain words are funnier than other words. The way
Speaker 1: you hit him, and I was like, come on, how
Speaker 1: can just the sound of a word be funny? But
Speaker 1: this is one of those scenes where he's a hundred
Speaker 1: percent right. It was if you just get that face
Speaker 1: and you end it with face for some reason, that's
Speaker 1: funnier than face. Face is a funnier word. You're absolutely right,
Speaker 1: and the way you hit it very funny, very funny.
Speaker 1: So Corey opens it, finds the necklace and says, hey,
Speaker 1: it's not a buck knife. And Corey is disappointed with
Speaker 1: his becoming a man gift, especially since Eric got a knife.
Speaker 1: So someone kept pitching the idea of Corey wanting to
Speaker 1: pretend to be Jewish so that he could do a
Speaker 1: bar mitztaf And so is it a general thing that
Speaker 1: like when you is he? Is he now thirteen? Is
Speaker 1: this his thirteenth birthday? Is it like a common thing
Speaker 1: that thirteen is the year when you become a man
Speaker 1: outside of the Jewish tradition, a religion outside of the
Speaker 1: Jewish tradition, or yeah, like for everyone, because he's I
Speaker 1: don't think he's turning twelve. I think he's turning twelve
Speaker 1: because the fugitive we're twelve. We live again. Mm hmm wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm assuming is this his thirteenth birthday?
Speaker 1: And if it is, I guess your teenage years is something.
Speaker 1: So that's when you become a man. No, not really,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just wondering this is it's it's like
Speaker 1: he's it's he's becoming a man gift. So I don't
Speaker 1: think there is a specific kind of there. There is
Speaker 1: no like specific age outside of the Jewish. But maybe
Speaker 1: it's because it's like thirteen has thought of as being
Speaker 1: like the first year of maybe starting puberty. So maybe
Speaker 1: the years I speak, it's when you become a teenager. Right,
Speaker 1: it's thirteen. It does seem like a leap up and something.
Speaker 1: And then you're thirteen when you start high school. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: So Eric says that little trinkets are important to Alan
Speaker 1: and he has to act grateful by wearing the necklace,
Speaker 1: and Corey says he's just going to pretend he never
Speaker 1: found it, and then we are downstairs in the Matthews kitchen.
Speaker 1: Alan tells Amy that Corey is going to love him
Speaker 1: a little bit more today than he loves her because
Speaker 1: he gave him his silver gloves. Corey comes downstairs in
Speaker 1: a rush to get his permission slip for scuba lessons.
Speaker 1: He quickly says thank you to his dad, and Alan
Speaker 1: is sad now that I think about it. Why would
Speaker 1: Alan think that giving him jewelry is that cool? How
Speaker 1: about nobody wishing him a happy birthday? How about am
Speaker 1: not saying happy birthday or like having a cake for
Speaker 1: him later on the doake. No nobody says anything. Nobody
Speaker 1: says happy birthday, Seawann doesn't say happy, Hey, buddy, it's
Speaker 1: your birthday. It's never brought up. I never thought about
Speaker 1: that it's Corey's birthday by anyone in the family. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that does seem like a big miss. Yeah. Also, I
Speaker 1: mean definitely a really big miss to think that you
Speaker 1: could give your thirteen year old son a necklace and
Speaker 1: not tell him why it's important exactly, not tell him anything.
Speaker 1: You leave it on his face, and then you expect
Speaker 1: him to be happy and like he's gonna love me
Speaker 1: more than you today with your wife. Like no, like
Speaker 1: I don't it just it made no sense. I didn't
Speaker 1: get it. I just didn't get this one for something. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: Amy asks if Corey even knows the significance of those
Speaker 1: silver gloves, and he says not yet, and we find
Speaker 1: we find out in that moment that he won them.
Speaker 1: Morgan comes down and asks why she doesn't have a
Speaker 1: gift on her face, and they tell her that big
Speaker 1: girls don't get gifts on other people's birthdays. She feels
Speaker 1: bad and runs back upstairs, and Alan wants to buy
Speaker 1: her love and Amy says, please don't cave in, and
Speaker 1: that whole scene is just over nobody, and yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: There you go, okay, And then we go into the
Speaker 1: school cafeteria. It's scuba class. Corey and Shawn are prepping
Speaker 1: for scuba lessons. There's a Darth Vader reference. And I
Speaker 1: remember this scene so well. I remember all of us
Speaker 1: being so nervous. We feel very weird about our bodies,
Speaker 1: so cold, so cold and uncomfortable. H I was just
Speaker 1: watching this, you know. I just remember feeling bad about
Speaker 1: my body, which is his stercase. And I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: just a skinny little kid, but I and I remember,
Speaker 1: you know, Ben was very insecure too. I remember Band
Speaker 1: pulling his shorts up as high as he could because
Speaker 1: he was just feeling which is ridiculously why are we why?
Speaker 1: But I guess you're just self conscious as a kid,
Speaker 1: Like you're just conscious about your body. Yeah, and and
Speaker 1: and it's interesting that it's written into the scene too
Speaker 1: that we're all like self conscious about our bodies or
Speaker 1: you know this is going to be a right to
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Yeah, yeah they were. I mean
Speaker 1: they had to, I guess because it was kind of weird,
Speaker 1: like I don't know, or maybe they maybe maybe it
Speaker 1: was because it was written to Like what if he
Speaker 1: just did a scene that wasn't about you know, where
Speaker 1: we just were wearing bathing suits like and not talking
Speaker 1: about it. I don't know, well, because I I remember
Speaker 1: very much the same thing, right. I remember being very
Speaker 1: nervous and uncomfortable and very cold and super self conscious.
Speaker 1: And you can see it when I cross over to
Speaker 1: the table later and and Lee is there with me,
Speaker 1: I like put my hands across my stomach and then
Speaker 1: crossing my arms across my body. You see, It's like
Speaker 1: like a thing I never do when I'm wearing close
Speaker 1: like completely blocking my body real life. I'm doing that
Speaker 1: and it probably looks weird. And then I un crossed
Speaker 1: my arms, and I remember I did think while I
Speaker 1: was watching it last night, I did think, well, that's
Speaker 1: a very real experience. Kids are uncomfortable and do feel
Speaker 1: self conscious about their bodies and are looking at other
Speaker 1: bodies and comparing their's to other kids. And then I
Speaker 1: also had the same thought, which was, huh, I wonder
Speaker 1: how much more like than to to have to have
Speaker 1: it be written to that directly and to be the
Speaker 1: actor bringing it to life. It is just one of
Speaker 1: those situations. That's Yeah. It was very uncomfortable. Um. Again,
Speaker 1: I had a little PTSD from the scene because as
Speaker 1: the fat kid growing up, which I always was, having
Speaker 1: to do gym class where it was like shirts and
Speaker 1: skins and having to take off your shirt and being
Speaker 1: the fact, I mean, I like, I had a visceral
Speaker 1: reaction to this. Did you ever take your shirt off
Speaker 1: on Boy's World? Oh? Hell no? And which like what
Speaker 1: if they had written that? I think at one point
Speaker 1: they did it, and I was like, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1: And I think at one point they wrote a scene
Speaker 1: where it was like Matt Lawrence, um, who has a
Speaker 1: horrible body? Um? Just really these greater abs um And
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be in a in a like
Speaker 1: sauna together and I was like, that ain't happening. Not
Speaker 1: a chance of that going on. But again, and and
Speaker 1: and and and I'm not saying that the show like,
Speaker 1: oh man, they shouldn't have put the kids in bathing.
Speaker 1: It's got nothing to do with that. It's not. It's
Speaker 1: it's just that as a kid who never wanted to
Speaker 1: take a shirt off, who was so uncomfortable doing it,
Speaker 1: who would die inside on those shirts and skins days,
Speaker 1: I had like a visceral reaction to the scene. I
Speaker 1: really did. It was so weird. I was I was
Speaker 1: ten again, and it was so weird where you know,
Speaker 1: it's you know, you're buying the husky size shorts and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and it was just it's it's funny
Speaker 1: because in real life I never was insecure. I mean
Speaker 1: I never was like I was never like, oh I've
Speaker 1: got a great but I just never thought about it,
Speaker 1: like I just like, I never thought. But it's funny
Speaker 1: that I was in this context. I remember being so
Speaker 1: nervous and insecure and weird about and you're on camera.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like you're in front of everybody and
Speaker 1: and you and I do like that they wrote to it.
Speaker 1: I do like that they wrote to the fact that
Speaker 1: everybody was wasn'tfortable with it, except to Panga, who is
Speaker 1: totally just being confident. I mean, that's the thing. It's
Speaker 1: like it is what it is. This is how I am.
Speaker 1: I didn't think you're pating too, Yeah, you know it
Speaker 1: was not. Yeah, And just when Lee pulls out his
Speaker 1: wet suit, it was hysterical because he's just like I'm
Speaker 1: going to do this, and Indie laughed, and you know,
Speaker 1: I think Indie understood what was going on, like he
Speaker 1: understood the dynamics of like everybody talking about what their
Speaker 1: bodies look like and you know, being uncomfortable. Uh. This
Speaker 1: episode has some weird audience moments, though, I would say,
Speaker 1: like there's like three of them, and to the point
Speaker 1: that my wife and my child commented on it like
Speaker 1: that was weird, Like because there's another one later with Alan.
Speaker 1: I forget what it is, but it was like kind
Speaker 1: of a weird like applause moment or I don't know,
Speaker 1: and this one will when Danielle takes her it's not
Speaker 1: just hold on, it's not we all get cheers, I know,
Speaker 1: but you get a whistle. The whistle is the weird.
Speaker 1: There's like I'm like a palpable, like what why would
Speaker 1: you whistle? Like yeah, but we have all of us
Speaker 1: for the second we take our clothes off, it's like,
Speaker 1: what are cheers or something, and it's like, why are
Speaker 1: we okay kissing? And I guess, yeah, you're right, I
Speaker 1: guess kissing and all that stuff, because yeah, I went
Speaker 1: into it thinking because I had seen a clip before
Speaker 1: we did this episode. I had seen a clip that
Speaker 1: somebody had sent of me taking off my robe and
Speaker 1: I heard the whistles and I thought, oh, no, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a situation where the twelve year old
Speaker 1: girl takes off a robe and everybody whistles. But Ben
Speaker 1: took off his robe and it was and then right
Speaker 1: Or took off his robe and it was a whoa.
Speaker 1: But when you it was a little more tepid. It
Speaker 1: was a little weird. It felt like hesited. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like the same way it was with us. It was like,
Speaker 1: is this okay? But the audience like start and then
Speaker 1: stop and then almost, which which almost in here's your
Speaker 1: the audience a little more or it's like even the
Speaker 1: audience was like, I don't know if this is okay.
Speaker 1: But I also wonder how much of that is because
Speaker 1: of the way Ben and I react, which is that
Speaker 1: we're not sure, you know, because like it's it's within
Speaker 1: the script itself, within the scene itself. We're not like
Speaker 1: hubba hubba. We're sort of like, well, I don't know
Speaker 1: what to do. It's like, yeah, it's like the show
Speaker 1: is sort of positioning us in that weird moment of
Speaker 1: like liking girls but not sure what that means yet
Speaker 1: or what how we're supposed to feel about it. Yeah, totally,
Speaker 1: but it makes for I think it made the audience
Speaker 1: feel a little like not sure which way to go to.
Speaker 1: It's like the whole I don't know, it's when you
Speaker 1: think about it, I actually kind of love that. Exactly
Speaker 1: what we're talking about is how you feel at that age,
Speaker 1: which is I'm uncomfortable. I'm not sure what I'm feeling
Speaker 1: and I don't know how I'm supposed to react, and
Speaker 1: what were we all feeling. I'm insecure what I'm doing
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure how to act, and the audience
Speaker 1: is like they put me in a situation and I'm
Speaker 1: not trying. And now us it's watching it, we're like,
Speaker 1: it's a little one, a little I'm not sure about it,
Speaker 1: not try to act like truthfully, puberty for every single person,
Speaker 1: like they've actually managed to pick the perfect thing to do.
Speaker 1: Nesting dolls of discomfort. So actually I think I love it.
Speaker 1: I think I actually love it. This is your favorite
Speaker 1: scene of all Boarding World, Best Episode episode. It was good.
Speaker 1: It should have won the Emmy that year. I was
Speaker 1: expecting to be uncomfortable, like, oh, it shouldn't be like
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, that they actually handled that
Speaker 1: really well, Like I thought they handled it really well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was. It was interesting, completely agree. Okay,
Speaker 1: uh was funny too. My gosh, Bill doing that is amazing.
Speaker 1: It was great. Yeah he yeah, him holding up. Also,
Speaker 1: I love that he's a certified scuba instructor. And of course,
Speaker 1: like I wonder if they had chosen upholstery club, would
Speaker 1: he have also been the upholstery teacher, Like it's just
Speaker 1: well you also you learn things about him like this,
Speaker 1: he's scuba teacher. He drives too fast, he's got the
Speaker 1: driving gloves, like he's not what you think he is.
Speaker 1: Um so that's always cool to allude to the different
Speaker 1: life of Foenie that you've never seen before. Yeah, um so,
Speaker 1: Phoenie clarifies the very first rule is that no one
Speaker 1: can ever dive alone, and now they have to pick
Speaker 1: a partner to be a diving buddy. Corey and Seawan
Speaker 1: partner up, and then to Panga and Mink has become
Speaker 1: partners and they have to share a mouthpiece. Fenie does
Speaker 1: that little breathing technique thing that just blows us all away,
Speaker 1: and then we are back in Korey and Eric's room.
Speaker 1: Eric is on the phone with Donna, who he accidentally
Speaker 1: calls Vicky. Of course he is. This is now officially
Speaker 1: just lazy, right, I'm sorry, I'm calling it out. This
Speaker 1: is a officially, there's a fish just lazy writing every
Speaker 1: time with another girl that he screwed something up with.
Speaker 1: You are no longer trying. I'm sorry, you just aren't.
Speaker 1: And by this point I was like, come on, really
Speaker 1: every freaking time, now, this is what it's going to be.
Speaker 1: I have no I did notice this episode what you've
Speaker 1: been talking about, which is the evolution of your wardrobe.
Speaker 1: You are full like the flannel shirt like you are
Speaker 1: now in sort of nineties grunge. It's clear that they
Speaker 1: decided to make you sort of more of the time,
Speaker 1: like halfway through the season and used to my hair
Speaker 1: to look like writers. They're growing my hair to look
Speaker 1: like yours. Well, and I really noticed in a kitchen
Speaker 1: scene I don't think I see your hands this entire episode,
Speaker 1: because your flannel shirt is justiring your hands. Look man,
Speaker 1: big shirts. But that's so funny you said that because
Speaker 1: my wife was watching with me and she's like, he
Speaker 1: has the same hair as you. I was like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we kind of always had the same hair. And she's like,
Speaker 1: but your hair was like a thing. Wasn't a thing
Speaker 1: for will? I was like, kind of, but yeah, they
Speaker 1: probably saw the reaction you were getting, and it was like,
Speaker 1: we're going to start doing the middle part just like
Speaker 1: you like Riders, and then my hair, really your hair
Speaker 1: was parted on the side for the earlier part of
Speaker 1: the short and spiky, and it was short and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so now they're going the full rider but with the
Speaker 1: with the grunge look. While I'm talking to Donna or
Speaker 1: Vicky or whoever the hell, they've gone through the elf
Speaker 1: of that and it's like, have we done a Karen yet? Like,
Speaker 1: come on, well, Eric asks Corey where the necklaces, and
Speaker 1: Corey says he probably left it by the pool, No
Speaker 1: big deal, he'll just buy another one, and Alan walks
Speaker 1: in to explain to Corey the meaning behind the silver
Speaker 1: glove necklace, and Alan explains he won them boxing in
Speaker 1: the U. S. Navy. He came in second place in
Speaker 1: his weight division in the entire U. S. Navy. Corey
Speaker 1: realizes the necklace is actually really important and the championship
Speaker 1: fight was so brutal. He really fought his heart out
Speaker 1: for that necklace and now he is so proud to
Speaker 1: pass them on to Corey and will to your point,
Speaker 1: Eric is just a big gold jerks. He is. He's
Speaker 1: an ass, And it's like I get being the older brother,
Speaker 1: I get I get playing to that, but the kid
Speaker 1: they've written it where Corey obviously realizes his mistake, he
Speaker 1: obviously realizes how important this is to his dad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Eric is just doing everything he can to make
Speaker 1: him feel as bad about it as he possibly can,
Speaker 1: especially because it's not like Eric knew the story of
Speaker 1: the Silver Gloves and was. It was like he's just
Speaker 1: learning about it too, And so it feels almost like
Speaker 1: you should be having the same reaction Corey as, which is,
Speaker 1: oh boy, you've really messed up. We gotta make this
Speaker 1: right for dad. What can you do? Especially since it's
Speaker 1: your birthday? It doesn't interesting like why you know it
Speaker 1: could have been like the two of you, because it
Speaker 1: is weird that Corey goes by himself to break into
Speaker 1: the school at night and go swimming, and like it
Speaker 1: could you could have gone with him, right like it
Speaker 1: could have been, like like in other episodes, just like
Speaker 1: we're in this situation the Hijing, and it's interesting that
Speaker 1: he also doesn't He's gonna do something, Hi Jinxi, and
Speaker 1: the first thing he doesn't do is pick up the
Speaker 1: phone and call Sean. None of this makes sense to me.
Speaker 1: None of this makes sense to me. This whole episode
Speaker 1: was written to get the one shot of Bill Daniels
Speaker 1: by the side of the pool to look like the graduate.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, that's what this entire episode was about.
Speaker 1: Because he gets they know the cake for the kid. No,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no there's no doing without him, Like yes,
Speaker 1: on his birthday, they're eating dinner without here. I mean,
Speaker 1: none of this makes any sense to me. I don't
Speaker 1: get it. Corey's on the phone trying to find where
Speaker 1: the necklaces. Eric shows Corey that he keeps his buck
Speaker 1: knife safe and wrapped up to keep it safe. He
Speaker 1: admits it doesn't mean a lot to him, but maybe
Speaker 1: his kid will like it. One day, and I was
Speaker 1: trying to figure out if there was like some sort
Speaker 1: of secret message here that with realizing it, the buck
Speaker 1: knife really is important to Eric because like, was there something? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so secretly it isn't born Eric, he does, No, I
Speaker 1: think he does. I think it's that kind of like
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look cool, but it matters to me,
Speaker 1: which is why I keep it polished. I keep it
Speaker 1: in the you know. Also, he says, Eric go's out
Speaker 1: of his way to be like, I'm not into it.
Speaker 1: Most times you're gonna find most teenage boys are in
Speaker 1: the knives enough to where it's a cool thing. Like
Speaker 1: whether you can mean my first camping knife I got
Speaker 1: as a kid, when I was twelve or thirteen, It
Speaker 1: was like the coolest thing in the world. So Andy,
Speaker 1: Andy already has a Swiss army knife, and he's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So the idea where it's like, hey, this
Speaker 1: awesome silver buck knife, this doesn't mean anything to me,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, all right, yeah, I didn't get a
Speaker 1: lot of this. But anyway, So Corey asks for Eric
Speaker 1: to cover for him while he goes out looking for
Speaker 1: the silver gloves, and then we are downstairs in the
Speaker 1: Matthews kitchen, Alan keeps calling Corey down for dinner and
Speaker 1: to Eric says he went to Shawn's for dinner, and
Speaker 1: Eric says he gave it permission to go, and then
Speaker 1: Sean comes over knocking on the kitchen door looking for
Speaker 1: Corey and writer, you look like you've come straight from
Speaker 1: a fish concert. I can smell this green jacket like
Speaker 1: it's a weird texture. I was like, what is that
Speaker 1: jacket made out of? It's like it just looks like
Speaker 1: a like a like like a car, like the car seat,
Speaker 1: like car seat material or something else. This is weird. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've got you've got four or four layers on a
Speaker 1: tiedye shirt, collared button down shirt, and then a green
Speaker 1: hooded zip up hoodie and then like a padded insulation
Speaker 1: jacket of some kind. This jacket, it was, that's this jacket.
Speaker 1: Eric reminds Sean that Corey is at his house for dinner.
Speaker 1: Sean goes along with it poorly, and this never comes
Speaker 1: back around, By the way, what you were coming over for?
Speaker 1: What you but when you tell him, I actually thought,
Speaker 1: having not remembered the episode at all, I actually thought,
Speaker 1: maybe you found the silver gloves. And you were coming
Speaker 1: to be like, hey, I found these right, But no,
Speaker 1: it might have been a nice twist, wouldn't that have
Speaker 1: been great? But no, no, it's not. You also picked
Speaker 1: up in this in this episode, writer, you caught from
Speaker 1: me the hand rubbing, the hand rubbing back and forth
Speaker 1: the entire time. Yes, well, they put you in a
Speaker 1: flannel so long you couldn't rub your hands, couldn't rub
Speaker 1: my hands. That's that's what they're doing. Is they're hand
Speaker 1: tapping me from from my hand, runing on your hands,
Speaker 1: doing little putting socks on my hands. So don't cut myself.
Speaker 1: I sleep like a baby. And uh this also, writer
Speaker 1: goes to how you and I do not remember at all.
Speaker 1: We were like we never we did one scene together together.
Speaker 1: This is like our episode together, total bits o. Man,
Speaker 1: it's so funny. Maybe you guys did a lot in
Speaker 1: season one and then never again and none of that's
Speaker 1: you guys are like, can we go? I think that
Speaker 1: is actually the case, because I do remember, like I
Speaker 1: mentioned before, like one of the last scenes of the
Speaker 1: of the season is you and me and band in
Speaker 1: the backyard, and I remember filming that. I think you
Speaker 1: were wearing the letter jet yeah, so anyway, that so
Speaker 1: I do remember there was a sense of camaraderie like there,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think season two is when the Corey
Speaker 1: Shawn dynamic really kicked in, and then we just never
Speaker 1: went back. Yeah. Well, Alan and Amy know that Eric
Speaker 1: and Sean are lying, and Eric says he doesn't actually
Speaker 1: know where Corey is, and Sean takes off and goes
Speaker 1: back home, and then we're at the school pool. Corey
Speaker 1: is scuba diving alone, trying to find the necklace, and
Speaker 1: we see underwater shots from Corey's POV, which we get
Speaker 1: is Will's point. This entire episode is about recreating from
Speaker 1: the graduate. The scene shows a bunch of random objects
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the pool, like a tennis racket,
Speaker 1: a barbie attached to a brick um, a set of
Speaker 1: keys are actually one key, I know, kind of some
Speaker 1: bizarre things at the bottom of the pool. Mr Feenie
Speaker 1: is then yelling at Corey from outside the pool and
Speaker 1: Phoenie pulls him out. He is that Corey for scuba
Speaker 1: diving alone and tells him to go home. What is
Speaker 1: Feenie doing at the school? Why is Corey? Why is
Speaker 1: Corey scuba diving? Why couldn't he just put on a
Speaker 1: mask and yeah, I don't know, why doesn't he just
Speaker 1: walk around the pool and look, because they're trying to
Speaker 1: recreate the scene from the Graduate again, it's the whole
Speaker 1: So the thing that I noticed. I don't know why
Speaker 1: I remembered the I think I remember the idea of
Speaker 1: the scene more than the scene itself. But I thought
Speaker 1: Ben was in it, which he's not obviously done video
Speaker 1: and so he did the voiceover. So this must have
Speaker 1: just been Bill by himself shooting at which they did
Speaker 1: intentionally to not have to have kid. Yeah, they could
Speaker 1: do it with the crew without us. So does anybody
Speaker 1: know where they shot this? Anybody have any idea? Because
Speaker 1: you never none of you had to shoot in the
Speaker 1: pool anywhere? Nope? Okay, yeah, I was curious if anybody
Speaker 1: knew where this was done. You're the only person who
Speaker 1: remembered this. I remember specifically because they were all the
Speaker 1: writers were like, oh, man, and then we're gonna do
Speaker 1: the scene from the graduate. It's like, you know, what
Speaker 1: you should have done is an episode around that. Um,
Speaker 1: you know that would have been awesome too. Yeah. All
Speaker 1: I remembered about this episode was having to take my
Speaker 1: shirt off. That's all right. Yeah, Then we're in the
Speaker 1: Matthews family living room. Amy has relieved Corey is home,
Speaker 1: but she's going to kill him. Corey admits that he
Speaker 1: lost the silver gloves. Amy and Alan Sayfeenie called and
Speaker 1: said Corey was scuba diving alone. Alan says he doesn't
Speaker 1: care about losing the silly gloves. He cares about losing Corey.
Speaker 1: Mr Feenie rings the doorbell and he's brought back the
Speaker 1: silver gloves. Walked all the way around in the house
Speaker 1: than you. Why did he go to the front door?
Speaker 1: Why does he go to the front This house makes
Speaker 1: no sense. It's this weirdo. Why does even even if
Speaker 1: he like, let's imagine that somehow parked his car or
Speaker 1: came to the front, why wouldn't he go through their
Speaker 1: house to go back to his place? Like? Why does
Speaker 1: he go back out to them? Walk all the way? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you get a piece of cake for Corey's
Speaker 1: birthday that was never mentioned again? Is there a B story?
Speaker 1: Is there a B story to this episode? Um? The
Speaker 1: tiny B story is Alan getting a Morgan gift birthday gifts?
Speaker 1: So the tag and that the tag and no other
Speaker 1: kitchen only just Corey getting the thing and scuba like
Speaker 1: it's all a story. That's it's all a story. Maybe
Speaker 1: why it feels a little thin is that the reason?
Speaker 1: So Corey gives Phenie a big hug, and he says,
Speaker 1: we'll pretend this hug never happened. Phoenie says the necklace
Speaker 1: was in the filter. He didn't even have to go
Speaker 1: diving alone. Corey gives Alan the necklace back and says
Speaker 1: he doesn't deserve them yet. He says, give it back
Speaker 1: to me on the most important day of my life,
Speaker 1: which will be whatever day you tied to give them
Speaker 1: back to me. Very sweet, which I liked. That's the
Speaker 1: that's the mind. The moment I really liked, but also
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily feel super earned. With this episode, I like
Speaker 1: a sentiment a lot. Yeah, it's a great sentiment. It's
Speaker 1: it's a nice identical to the sentiment from Sideways, which
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite movies of all time. Jensen Car,
Speaker 1: producer of this podcast, loves that movie. Oh it's perfect great.
Speaker 1: But and he has he has this like really really
Speaker 1: expensive bottle of wine that he's been saving and he's like,
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the most important day, and then somebody
Speaker 1: says to him, well, whenever you dk that that is
Speaker 1: the important, the most important day, opening that bottle of
Speaker 1: wine is the is the day. That's what it's said.
Speaker 1: And he ends up in a McDonald's are like a
Speaker 1: fast food restaurant, drinking that bottle of wine, and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's spending thousands of dollar bottle of wine
Speaker 1: and he's like enjoying it on the day he's decided.
Speaker 1: It's such a nice moment. I know, I think about
Speaker 1: that a lot when I think about like, um, when
Speaker 1: you buy something nice and then you save it, You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to wear it today today, I just
Speaker 1: have to run errands. I'm going to save that for something.
Speaker 1: And then it sits in your closet so long that
Speaker 1: it like no longer becomes important. And then you have
Speaker 1: an event to wear it and you're like that old thing.
Speaker 1: It's like I've never even worn it. It's like so
Speaker 1: I regularly try to people all the time will give
Speaker 1: me crap about my tennis shoes. I love tennis shoes,
Speaker 1: but I have a lot of very nice tennis shoes
Speaker 1: and I just wear them. I'd run them into the ground.
Speaker 1: I squatting them, I running them I and people are like,
Speaker 1: you're screasing your tennis shoes and I'm like, yeah, because
Speaker 1: I'm wearing them. I love them, and I want to
Speaker 1: I love them so much. I want to wear them.
Speaker 1: And when they are no longer of great quality, because
Speaker 1: I've worn them into the ground, I will have loved
Speaker 1: them to death. It's the velveteen rabbit of it. All
Speaker 1: like that. All right, then we are in let's see,
Speaker 1: we've already gives them back. We're at the tack. I mean,
Speaker 1: this episode feels like a real blip. We're in the
Speaker 1: Matthews family living room. Allan ends up giving Morgan a
Speaker 1: present after all, but he says he wants to keep
Speaker 1: it a secret from Amie. She opens the box to
Speaker 1: find a toy horse and asks if he won the
Speaker 1: horse from the Navy. Alan says no. Then she asks again,
Speaker 1: did you win this in the Navy? And this time
Speaker 1: he says yes, and then she hugs him. I wish
Speaker 1: opening presents for kids was as easy as having a
Speaker 1: box and you just lift off to lid and then
Speaker 1: the present is in there, because when you really open
Speaker 1: a present for a kid, it's like twenty minutes before
Speaker 1: it's even out of the plastic. Yeah. I also thought
Speaker 1: theer sentiment, frankly, could have been she she says, is
Speaker 1: it did you win this in the Navy? And and
Speaker 1: he says, no, I didn't, And she kind of puts
Speaker 1: it back in the box because she would rather have
Speaker 1: something that was important to him. You know, like they
Speaker 1: could have done something there, but they'd already shot the
Speaker 1: bill scene, so there was no point to end the
Speaker 1: episode anyway that mattered. I guess maybe the ideas that
Speaker 1: when she turns thirteen she'll get something. Is it going
Speaker 1: to be just from Alan or is that one going
Speaker 1: to come from Amy. I don't know. If they celebrate
Speaker 1: her birthday the way they sell celebrate coreries, she'll never
Speaker 1: even know she's thirteen. She's get a box in her face,
Speaker 1: apparently I was born today and no other presents? Yeah, nothing.
Speaker 1: There wasn't even a happy working forget the presents. How
Speaker 1: about Hey, you're my son, says Amy, Happy birthday. What
Speaker 1: was your favorite birthday? What's your like looking back on
Speaker 1: your childhood? What was your favorite birthday you ever had?
Speaker 1: Thirteen was pretty cool for me. Yeah, I was on
Speaker 1: the set of Don't Just Sit There on Nickelodeon, and
Speaker 1: Robert England, who played Freddy Krueger, I was interviewing him
Speaker 1: that day and he heard it was my birthday, and
Speaker 1: he brought me a whole box full of Nightmare Now
Speaker 1: Street stuff that he had signed, like a glove and
Speaker 1: a hat and the mask. Um. That was. That was
Speaker 1: pretty cool. And then we had a cake like in
Speaker 1: front of the audience and everybody's so happy birthday. That
Speaker 1: was pretty neat. I always got screwed out of My
Speaker 1: birthday was in the summer, so I never got to
Speaker 1: celebrate in school. You know, in school they always make
Speaker 1: a big deal for people like it's your birthday. That
Speaker 1: never happened for me. So that when you're born in August,
Speaker 1: which is the best month to be born. Um, but
Speaker 1: uh so yeah it was. That was that was. That
Speaker 1: was a cool one. That one sticks out writer, Do
Speaker 1: you have one? Really? I just remember we just always
Speaker 1: go to him movie on my birthday, like going to
Speaker 1: a movie with friends and then go get pizza. Um,
Speaker 1: so I remember, you know, different movies Back to the Future.
Speaker 1: Parents actually wish you a happy birthday. Yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 1: American Tale One Year when I was Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: was born in December, so there's usually like a good
Speaker 1: movie coming out around that. La Bamba I remember going
Speaker 1: to I just watched it. I went a week ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was my my seventh birthday, I want to say.
Speaker 1: And then what was amazing that that was a double
Speaker 1: feature La Bamba with Dirty Dancing, And I remember my
Speaker 1: parents being like, what's this Dirty Dancing? And then we
Speaker 1: were like, well, let's just stay after we saw La Bamba,
Speaker 1: let's just stay for a do you know, it's our
Speaker 1: special movie Tri's birthday. And then we were like, of
Speaker 1: course Dirty Dancing was a much better movie that we
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I loved for years to come. Yeah what
Speaker 1: about you, Daniel, you got one? Um, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I remember like the first ever sleepover I was allowed
Speaker 1: to have, and like I had a bunch of girls
Speaker 1: spend the night over at my house and I opened
Speaker 1: up my presence, which were all like very cool coordinated outfits,
Speaker 1: you know, like a big scrunchy and I remember like
Speaker 1: that was really fun. And then my thirteenth birthday when
Speaker 1: we were on boy Meats World was really fun. Remember
Speaker 1: we did it at Ben's parents restaurant down in generations, generations,
Speaker 1: that was your birthday? Yes, I thought we went for
Speaker 1: a soft opening or something. Oh cool, So was your birthday?
Speaker 1: My birthday? We rented a bus and everybody like a
Speaker 1: party van and we all went down there together and
Speaker 1: uh yeah right. Or you wore a cool hat, that
Speaker 1: gray hat with the satin ribbon on it, and I
Speaker 1: wore that for an entire year. That was my Oh
Speaker 1: when I was fifteen, I wear I have I still
Speaker 1: have it. But it was like a gray fedora, yeah,
Speaker 1: gray fedoracing with my cousins. Speaking of birthdays, we should
Speaker 1: address the strangeness on our set of the number of
Speaker 1: people whose birthday was on the eleven Because writer's December
Speaker 1: Elevember eleven, Matt Lawrence is February eleven Sabrina Carpenter or
Speaker 1: something the eleventh. There's like four or five of us
Speaker 1: from the cast that were born on the eleventh. Total coincidence, obviously,
Speaker 1: but still just an interesting little factoid. Interesting lots of
Speaker 1: elevens on our Fine, it's interesting, you think it's interesting
Speaker 1: that a whole bunch of people in the same cast
Speaker 1: were born in the same day. I have remember Williams too.
Speaker 1: It is still just I'm not saying it was fate.
