Speaker 1: Welcome back to an episode where we can't stop talking.
Speaker 1: This is part too enjoy. Then we flip to the
Speaker 1: Matthews living room. Corey and Tapanga are prepping Alan and Amy.
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna be so proud of us because
Speaker 1: I went into the world, I did my homework, and
Speaker 1: I made it happen. I made it happen. Alan is suspicious,
Speaker 1: would you do to pega vouches? No, it's good. I
Speaker 1: didn't think it was good at first, but it is.
Speaker 1: She urges Corey to show them a document he pulls
Speaker 1: out of his pocket. All we need are your signatures
Speaker 1: and we'll have our dream home. Corey gleefully adds with nook, okay,
Speaker 1: he hands the contract over to his parents. As soon
Speaker 1: as you sign this, we are completely on our own.
Speaker 1: Amy asks what this is, and Alan explains this is
Speaker 1: a loan application for an eighty thousand dollars house. Amy comments,
Speaker 1: I don't like it when you call him an idiot,
Speaker 1: but Alan didn't call him anything, so Amy admits, oh,
Speaker 1: I must have thought it in my head.
Speaker 2: Good mind, Yeah, it is very funny.
Speaker 1: Corey butts in and nervously asks what's going on. Alan
Speaker 1: tells him you want us to sign your eighty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars mortgage so that when you don't pay it. Corey interjects,
Speaker 1: we're gonna pay it, but Alan continues his shpiel. Then
Speaker 1: they can come and take our house. Is that what
Speaker 1: you want us to sign?
Speaker 3: Corey?
Speaker 1: Amy reiterates, do you realize how ridiculous you are? Corey
Speaker 1: doesn't get it, so Amy, the one time real estate agent,
Speaker 1: or maybe a still active real estate agent, paints it
Speaker 1: out for him. You can't buy a house before you
Speaker 1: have a job. Alan breaks it down. You get a job,
Speaker 1: save for a down payment, then buy the house. Corey argues, no, Dad,
Speaker 1: it's gonna take us forever to raise that kind of money.
Speaker 1: Nah uh uh, we just heard it was only a week.
Speaker 3: Well, Corey, Topeka don't have jobs, though, do that?
Speaker 1: I know? Why don't they have jobs?
Speaker 3: Because they're in school? They're in college, sure.
Speaker 1: But don't most college kids have jobs?
Speaker 3: Not most? But I don't think most.
Speaker 4: I would maybe have you did, yeah, but I just
Speaker 4: think I think a lot of people dedicate those that time.
Speaker 3: Just I mean, if you can afford it, right, you don't,
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Well, they set it up so they've said several times
Speaker 5: during the episode, not just for Corey and to Panga,
Speaker 5: but also for Sean and Angela. People are quote unquote
Speaker 5: helping them or helping to pay are Corey and to
Speaker 5: Panga asking Alan and Amy to co sign while also
Speaker 5: helping to pay for Corey and Eric in college. So
Speaker 5: they have two kids in college a baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, unless they have loans. Unless they have
Speaker 1: student loans or scholarships. Are grants that we don't know about.
Speaker 1: It appears as though the Matthews are paying well. At
Speaker 1: least Eric has a job. He's working at the student union.
Speaker 2: He's doing something.
Speaker 1: Correy is not. And Topanga, who knows what her family's
Speaker 1: financial situation is. It seems as though her daddy was rich,
Speaker 1: but maybe they're on their own now.
Speaker 5: It's interesting they never they didn't and you have to
Speaker 5: imagine he still has the Wilderness Store.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 1: Also, Topanga and Angela worked at a Mexican restaurant in
Speaker 1: high school and now in college don't work.
Speaker 4: I mean, it seems like Topanga would definitely have a job,
Speaker 4: right like she she would be like already interning somewhere
Speaker 4: at least yes, or.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's not the type of person that wouldn't be.
Speaker 2: But her father fathers are luthier bankers. Yeah, can be
Speaker 2: very lucrative.
Speaker 4: Once you asked me, Danielle, I realized, like, yeah, everybody
Speaker 4: I know had a job in college. In college, my
Speaker 4: wife worked through college. All of my friends had jobs. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they definitely all had jobs.
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's about uh needing it, per se.
Speaker 1: I think it's about wanting it. It's it is you.
Speaker 1: I can see in high school parents saying it would
Speaker 1: be I know, you're allowed to start working at sixteen,
Speaker 1: but it would be my preference that you not, so
Speaker 1: that you can really focus on your SATs and that
Speaker 1: you can you know, but by the time you get
Speaker 1: to college, that's really a time to like figure out
Speaker 1: what it feels like to live in the world, not
Speaker 1: just like I have no other responsibilities and all I
Speaker 1: have to do is focus on my tests.
Speaker 4: It's like it really depends. I mean, there are some
Speaker 4: programs that are so yeah, you know, like if you're
Speaker 4: a pre med if you're like you don't have time,
Speaker 4: you literally are working so hard just to you know,
Speaker 4: get all your units in four years or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yes, So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, Topanga steps in, Dad, I'm calling you, dad. She
Speaker 1: takes a seat next to her in laws. The house
Speaker 1: that we're in right now is very bad. We would
Speaker 1: have invited you there, except it's very bad. Alan shakes
Speaker 1: his head. I'm sorry that it's very bad. Amy agrees.
Speaker 1: We know this isn't easy for you. Corey emotionally pleads
Speaker 1: with them. Look, we're dying in that place. Why do
Speaker 1: you keep shutting us down? Alan responds calmly, Corey, my son,
Speaker 1: whom I love. Figure it out. Cory fires back, you
Speaker 1: think I'm going to figure out what kind of father
Speaker 1: wants his kids to have a bad time. I'm never
Speaker 1: going to figure that out. Never. Corey tells Tapega he
Speaker 1: doesn't even know why they came here, and then walks
Speaker 1: out to Pegs choked up and agrees. She tells Amy
Speaker 1: and Allen, I don't understand this either, and walks out
Speaker 1: as sad piano music plays.
Speaker 6: He was sad.
Speaker 5: It was sad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now alone. Amy turns to Alan, I hate this.
Speaker 1: He puts his arm around her and kisses her forehead.
Speaker 3: I know I think they should have signed a loan
Speaker 3: for them. You do, yes, I don't. I think you know,
Speaker 3: I think the point.
Speaker 4: The point is are you showing responsibility and taking on
Speaker 4: more responsibility? And I feel like when Corey shows up
Speaker 4: and says I have a plan, We're going to be
Speaker 4: able to pay this off, that that is going to
Speaker 4: your parents and saying I'm trying to, I need to,
Speaker 4: I want to take the next step in life. And
Speaker 4: I'm like, I think that if your kid is that responsible.
Speaker 5: You're risking of it because if they do default on
Speaker 5: the loan, they come after you and your.
Speaker 1: And if they go, we don't have the money to
Speaker 1: easily cover it.
Speaker 4: If you evaluate your kid right, which in this case,
Speaker 4: evaluate Corey into Panga, Uh, I think I would take
Speaker 4: that bet that they're going.
Speaker 3: To be responsible.
Speaker 4: Like Corey's not a troublemaker, He's not a lazy guy.
Speaker 2: Like what, we have a job? You said yourself a job.
Speaker 4: I'm imagining that they have a job because in my
Speaker 4: mind to Panga definitely has a job, and like I
Speaker 4: could or you know, a plan, Like I just don't.
Speaker 1: I agree that they're they'd set it up in this scene.
Speaker 1: First you get a job, then you get a house.
Speaker 1: If if this were my real life scenario and I
Speaker 1: were going to my parents. Yes, my dad absolutely would
Speaker 1: have co signed on a loan for me. And by
Speaker 1: the way, did I think because I when I bought
Speaker 1: my when I bought my first house, I had no
Speaker 1: real credit history. And and it's weird when you buy
Speaker 1: a place and you're an actor and they want like
Speaker 1: three years of your last pay stubs and it's like, well,
Speaker 1: two years ago, i made a ton of money and
Speaker 1: the last two years I've made zero money. Like, my
Speaker 1: dad did co sign on a place for me. But
Speaker 1: my dad would have wanted to see if I were
Speaker 1: Corey into Panga, what job did you have? Can I
Speaker 1: see your past ubs? How much are you making? How
Speaker 1: long have you had this job? Are there any pitfalls
Speaker 1: you see? Is there a reason you think you might
Speaker 1: get fired or that you might not want to keep
Speaker 1: this job? My dad would want to see a very
Speaker 1: well thought out, for lack of a better term, business plan.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then we're in Corey Intopanga's department. Angela inspects their
Speaker 1: rusty oven and tells Topanga it's nice. She responds loudly Liyah.
Speaker 1: Angela admits, when you said stinkhole, I really didn't think
Speaker 1: it was a stinkhole, but it is it is a stinkhole,
Speaker 1: isn't it?
Speaker 2: I didn't need to hear.
Speaker 1: We say it too many times. It's just normal, is
Speaker 1: forget we hear it?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Sean takes a look at the place and decides,
Speaker 1: I think it has possibilities. Corey wonders, like what greasefire,
Speaker 1: wrecking ball or the place just falls apart on its
Speaker 1: own because it knows it should. Sean tries to look
Speaker 1: at the bright side. This is the type of place
Speaker 1: we always said we wanted to live in, right, Corey
Speaker 1: reminds him he's married now, but Tapega immediately jumps in, no, hey,
Speaker 1: if you guys want to live here, you can go
Speaker 1: right ahead. Sean and Angela suggest various ways to redecorate
Speaker 1: their little space, a bookshelf, a romantic photograph. Corey explains, guys,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna fix this place up. Okay, it's not
Speaker 1: like we're gonna live here. Sean wonders where they plan
Speaker 1: on living then, and Tapanga tells them about the dream
Speaker 1: house with a nook, but Sean still doesn't get it.
Speaker 1: Corey asks, what's not to get We hate this house
Speaker 1: and I'm going to get us into that other house
Speaker 1: with or without my cheapskate dad, Sean points out, they've
Speaker 1: already got a great place to start. Why don't you
Speaker 1: slow down for a second and take a look around you.
Speaker 1: This is your place, man, fix it up. Have an imagination.
Speaker 1: Corey laughs, you have an imagination. Look what we've got here, Sean,
Speaker 1: imagine this is the water you drink. He turns on
Speaker 1: the faucet and brown water come shooting out. Corey catches
Speaker 1: it in a glass and offers it to Sean. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: drink the mud. Sean snaps at him. Corey, imagine you
Speaker 1: have some pride in the place and fix the rusty pipes.
Speaker 1: You want to live in a nice place, you're going
Speaker 1: to have to work at it.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 4: Hearing all this, I was surprised that Sean doesn't bring
Speaker 4: up his upbringing, right, I thought so too. It seems
Speaker 4: like an easy thing to be like, dude, you know,
Speaker 4: I lived in a trailer and.
Speaker 1: I loved it and it was just my hole.
Speaker 4: Yeah. The home is wherever you make out of it,
Speaker 4: you know, Like I don't know. It's surprising that the
Speaker 4: writers didn't fall back on that.
Speaker 1: They kept all the on the nose dialogue for the
Speaker 1: Bee storyline, I am a spoiled brat who gets whatever
Speaker 1: she wants hippotism land, and on this one they wanted
Speaker 1: us to read between the lines ambiguous.
Speaker 2: With the Sean storyline.
Speaker 1: Exactly, you want to live in a nice place, You're
Speaker 1: going to have to work at it, and then someday
Speaker 1: maybe you'll be lying next to each other on the
Speaker 1: floor with the sun streaming in the window, drinking coffee
Speaker 1: and reading the newspaper, which, as Will pointed out, is
Speaker 1: apparently the textbook definition of marriage.
Speaker 2: You ever hit the pinnacle of marriage?
Speaker 5: My friend were sharing a newspaper on the floor, sipping coffee.
Speaker 1: Marriage. It should be on the post, on the poster
Speaker 1: for marriage.
Speaker 3: It should.
Speaker 1: Corey scoffs, that's easy for you to say, mister. I
Speaker 1: live with my girlfriend in a great apartment that I
Speaker 1: lucked into and you know what, you guys aren't even married.
Speaker 3: How fair is that.
Speaker 1: After a few seconds of silence, Sean admits I don't know,
Speaker 1: thanks for.
Speaker 7: Having us, and I was like, yes, angsty, Sean is back.
Speaker 2: I was so happy to see him.
Speaker 4: I was like, there, he is.
Speaker 2: Kind of existential Christ.
Speaker 3: And walk out. I was open your face. Uh.
Speaker 4: At this point, Rachel is moving out. Yeah, Cory to
Speaker 4: Mega can move in. Yep, they could even have separate
Speaker 4: bedrooms because exactly, it's so dumb.
Speaker 5: Do you want to you want to mopen a stinkhole?
Speaker 5: What's happened in my friend?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna open your stinkhole?
Speaker 1: Shut up?
Speaker 2: Okay, so moping in a stink hoole?
Speaker 1: Oh god, I got four body chills again. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Angela quickly follows suit and politely adds, we had a
Speaker 1: very nice time to paying a yells atter again. Liar
Speaker 1: now alone in their whole Corey into paying a share
Speaker 1: a moment of sadness.
Speaker 3: It's funny that pole is like easier.
Speaker 1: It doesn't take it as much it is.
Speaker 3: It's so true.
Speaker 2: Then your hithole doesn't sound too good.
Speaker 1: We're in the student union. We are uncomfortably zoomed in
Speaker 1: on bridgets butt while she's.
Speaker 3: Playing I couldn't actually this is like that.
Speaker 4: This is like one of the few times I feel like,
Speaker 4: I mean, well, I guess our show is pretty yeah,
Speaker 4: but but it's like using the camera to actually zoom
Speaker 4: in on a.
Speaker 5: And I get They cut their pulling back and then
Speaker 5: it's supposed to be that Eric is leering at her,
Speaker 5: which doesn't make it any better, But there is something
Speaker 5: about the camera shot itself that does take it to
Speaker 5: another level.
Speaker 4: The gas man yeah oh.
Speaker 1: Nearby, Eric admits to Jack, I can't keep my eyes
Speaker 1: off her tushy. Jack grabs him to bring him back
Speaker 1: to reality. You must don't let that tushy control you.
Speaker 1: Eric repeats, bad tushy, and Jack emphasizes the point evil,
Speaker 1: but Eric still walks towards her. I want it. Jack
Speaker 1: holds him back. She knows you want it, she knows
Speaker 1: you'd be her pet.
Speaker 3: Interesting question, and maybe do you?
Speaker 4: I mean because Michael had worked with coal right, like
Speaker 4: they went back, Like does that make this kind of
Speaker 4: camera shot okay for him? Because like I don't know
Speaker 4: if he would have zoomed in on a guest star's butt,
Speaker 4: Like that's a really bold camera thing to do. We've
Speaker 4: had lots of like hot girls and we augle them
Speaker 4: in that's, but for the camera itself, for the show
Speaker 4: itself to begin zoomed in like that's.
Speaker 1: We also have never commented on whether or not someone's
Speaker 1: body had been surgically and but we did with her.
Speaker 1: But we do with her, So it one hundred percent
Speaker 1: think their familiarity, yes, and child she was treated less respectfully.
Speaker 5: Yes, differently it was or I think yes, yes, you
Speaker 5: know what, it's so funny we see it as less respectfully.
Speaker 2: It would be Michael being like, well, she's a friend exactly.
Speaker 3: I know, because it's because.
Speaker 2: John defyant, Yeah, buying her.
Speaker 3: This job and it's a good part.
Speaker 2: She knows. I'm like this, he knows exactly the thing.
Speaker 4: But I yeah, it just occurred to me that, like,
Speaker 4: I don't think he would have gotten away with that shot.
Speaker 4: I don't think we would have even tried it attempted.
Speaker 4: You know, you just have a hot girl and you
Speaker 4: have that, but the camera itself, yeah, and then making
Speaker 4: a yeah.
Speaker 3: I think that that's because of familiarity.
Speaker 2: And I have I have an honest question. Is there
Speaker 2: anything redeeming about this beast story? Anything?
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Danielle pointed out that it could
Speaker 4: have the dynamic of of Matt Lauren Jack meeting another Jack,
Speaker 4: like meeting a female version of him is a cool idea,
Speaker 4: and I like that he like that that he's not
Speaker 4: going to fall for her, like that first bit.
Speaker 3: Where he's like I'm basically the male version of you.
Speaker 3: I thought it was. I think that's a cool observation.
Speaker 4: And it's nice for Jack to be a little self
Speaker 4: aware about him, like being a rich party boy. That
Speaker 4: is cool that and I wish they did more of
Speaker 4: that throughout the show because it gives.
Speaker 3: It more of a character.
Speaker 1: It's smilarly to the episode. Keep bringing up the monkey episode,
Speaker 1: similarly to the way Jack learned about himself that there
Speaker 1: is a downside to what he's like. It would have
Speaker 1: been redeeming and nice if she taught him something about himself.
Speaker 1: And if the lesson of this had actually been that
Speaker 1: he becomes a better person because of something she inadvertently
Speaker 1: teaches him because he sees a similarity in them, then
Speaker 1: that would have been redeeming. But they set something up
Speaker 1: and sucking, so Eric is thrilled. Did she say that
Speaker 1: Jack calls Bridget a sadist just looking for a masochist,
Speaker 1: and again Eric is elated. Did she say that this
Speaker 1: is another one of our moments from the season seven
Speaker 1: Bluebers where you grab Matt's muscle and say, guy, you're
Speaker 1: well built, and he goes, thank you, and then he
Speaker 1: has to get back into characters.
Speaker 2: It's favorite.
Speaker 7: Thanks, You're like the way you do it, really God,
Speaker 7: you're really really well built.
Speaker 3: So earnestly. Just thanks you.
Speaker 4: He's like thanks, and then he's like, con so funny, funny,
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Jack kicks it up a notch. Here's what she'll say,
Speaker 1: clean the toilets, ground the espresso, count the cups, and
Speaker 1: then you'll say, I will get to it when I'm
Speaker 1: good and ready. Show shut your cake hole, Irene. Do
Speaker 1: we know where Irene came from?
Speaker 4: Okay, cake hole, stinkhole, cakele versus, I'll take a cake hole.
Speaker 2: Of the week.
Speaker 5: Also, we we really show in this episode again there
Speaker 5: is a fashionation with the word tushy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we love tushy.
Speaker 2: Tushy all the time, all the time. For season tushy.
Speaker 4: The last episode, your mama wiped my tushy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the word for it. We say tushy
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 1: Eric responds, her name is Bridgett, and I wrote her
Speaker 1: this poem. He pulls out a comically large piece of
Speaker 1: paper and begins reciting bridget you make me fidget. Then
Speaker 1: he holds the ginormous piece of paper back up and
Speaker 1: returns it to his pocket. That's all he's got. I
Speaker 1: feel like that was a will thing. I'm on cute,
Speaker 1: it's funny on cube. Bridget appears, Hello, pretty boys. She
Speaker 1: takes a seat on the coffee bar and asks, have
Speaker 1: you scrubbed the toilets, ground, the espresso, counted the cups.
Speaker 1: Jack puts on a brave face and confidently answers, I
Speaker 1: will get to it when I'm good and ready, so
Speaker 1: shut your cake hole, Irene. Bridget looks to Eric, how
Speaker 1: about you, bonehead? Jack whispers with encouragement, cakele, Cakele. Eric pauses,
Speaker 1: not knowing what to say, and then blurts out Jack
Speaker 1: thinks you're a bad girl and I'll fall prey to
Speaker 1: your tushy. Jack is very disappointed as Eric calmly continues,
Speaker 1: I think you're a sweet little farm girl who likes
Speaker 1: to hold hands on the porch. Bridget sticks out her
Speaker 1: leg and matter of factly demands Eric to take off
Speaker 1: her shoe and suck her third toe. Eric's face slides
Speaker 1: up and he falls to the ground without hesitation. Bridget
Speaker 1: turns her attention back to Jack.
Speaker 3: This is really it? Huh? Are you're thinking that there
Speaker 3: was another? Nope? Turn or point to the storyline.
Speaker 1: Nope, nope, by the way, you're fired with that, Eric
Speaker 1: calls out from the floor, and I'm in a brand new,
Speaker 1: healthy relationship, all right.
Speaker 5: A what the and B If I had to do
Speaker 5: it over again, I would have said that with my mouthful.
Speaker 1: No, right, but it's true. Then we're in Corey in
Speaker 1: Tepega's dorm. To PEG's depressed on the couch as Corey
Speaker 1: paces the living room. He's venting about Sean, claiming he's
Speaker 1: in a cushy apartment, living the good life, eating bonbonds.
Speaker 1: Tapega admits a bookshelf would look cute in the corner,
Speaker 1: but Corey doesn't want to hear it. You know, we're
Speaker 1: a bookshelf would look good in the nook. To Pega
Speaker 1: breaks it to him, We're not going to have a
Speaker 1: nook right now, He desperately asks, we're not to Penga
Speaker 1: reiterates no. Corey takes a look around and sighs, So
Speaker 1: we live here now? She nods. He takes a spot
Speaker 1: next to her on the couch and asks, what if
Speaker 1: I built us a nook. She explains there isn't any room,
Speaker 1: so Corey asks, what if I fix the sink? Topanga
Speaker 1: asks if he knows how to fix a sink, and
Speaker 1: he admits no. She laughs, you never thought you'd ever
Speaker 1: have to fix a sink, did you? Corey chuckles no,
Speaker 1: and so Tapanga offers to help. He's shocked, haha, you
Speaker 1: know how to fix a sink. Now it's her turn
Speaker 1: to admit she has no clue. Corey states, so neither
Speaker 1: one of us knows how to fix a sink. She
Speaker 1: looks at him. Together, they get it from the couch,
Speaker 1: ready to team up. Corey warns her as he takes
Speaker 1: his spot underneath the scene. I now loved that whole
Speaker 1: part on the couch was.
Speaker 5: Good that part, this part I didn't like ouse next part.
Speaker 1: Before I go under there, I gotta tell you, whatever
Speaker 1: you do, it's very important that you do not. And
Speaker 1: before he can finish the sentence to Panga turns on
Speaker 1: the faucet and Corey shrieks, do not turn on the water.
Speaker 1: She quickly turns it off. I'm sorry, did something bad happen?
Speaker 1: Corey pops back up and we see brown sludge all
Speaker 1: over his face and shirt. He points a finger at Topanga,
Speaker 1: possibly on the brink of breaking, and says, you tell
Speaker 1: me to. Penga wins this. She's so sorry. Corey opens
Speaker 1: his arms for an embrace. Okay, you gotta hug me.
Speaker 1: She yells no and starts to run away.
Speaker 5: This part, to me, all of a sudden, turned into
Speaker 5: a little bit of a high school play.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was the blocking or the
Speaker 5: acting in this one specific part, but it seemed very stiff.
Speaker 2: Yeah this part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. She teases him get away from me, swamp thing.
Speaker 1: Corey screams, swamp thing wants the booty Tapenga jumps onto
Speaker 1: the couch and jokingly yells, it's after me. I must
Speaker 1: warn the village. Corey threatens, no, no, I'm taking you
Speaker 1: back to the swamp to do things to. Penga throws
Speaker 1: her arms in the air and Corey's about to grab
Speaker 1: her when there's a knock at the door.
Speaker 4: Before we go further in the episode, I've heard back
Speaker 4: from Nate Brewer. Yes, oh, and so he had texted
Speaker 4: me we're all just bosos on the bus and I said, wait,
Speaker 4: what was that one? And he said, that's the record
Speaker 4: it came from. Check out this video fire sign theater
Speaker 4: Bozos on the bus. I think your brother found the
Speaker 4: old record at your parents' house and we were probably
Speaker 4: high out of.
Speaker 3: Our minds and listen to it. I will try to
Speaker 3: find this sound bite.
Speaker 4: And he sent me a YouTube link and at five
Speaker 4: point twenty they say, Unhappy Macnam.
Speaker 3: It's like, now you have to play it right, doesn't stop.
Speaker 2: Please now listen to me. This is worker speaking.
Speaker 3: Open your gate doctor.
Speaker 4: I have no idea what this is, but is that
Speaker 4: like it's really trippy.
Speaker 8: Mom damnd it's repeating. He's saying Macnam, mom man, ma'am,
Speaker 8: ma'am madam.
Speaker 2: My memory laugh.
Speaker 3: Read Unhappy Macnam.
Speaker 8: Unhappy Macnam sistat up time nine.
Speaker 3: Away for None orders took. So.
Speaker 4: I think the idea was that it was like a
Speaker 4: bad drug trip that they had and they were like,
Speaker 4: listening to this album that my parents had. Whatever, this
Speaker 4: is comedy, classic Shoes for Industry, hilarious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the best of what are their regular albums?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 4: So yeah, So I think the idea was it was
Speaker 4: just pure psychedelic weirdness. And so whenever we were around
Speaker 4: people that were making us uncomfortable, we would look at
Speaker 4: each other and go mc no, I'm like I'm having
Speaker 4: a bad trip.
Speaker 1: There you go there, it is there, it is I
Speaker 1: can just before Oh god, you know what. I'm so
Speaker 1: glad when we have these little moments and then they
Speaker 1: just take us a little deeper into the life of writer,
Speaker 1: the childhood life of writer.
Speaker 5: The Fireside Theater was an American surreal comedy troupe who
Speaker 5: first appeared on November seventeenth, nineteen sixty six, and live
Speaker 5: performance on the Los Angeles radio program Radio Free OZ.
Speaker 2: They continued appearing on Radio Friage later moved to k RLA.
Speaker 5: They produced fifteen albums, fifteen.
Speaker 4: Albums, Holy must have done well, Wow, that is a
Speaker 4: deep cut, man, It is a deep cut.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Well, Corey whins, oh, wouldn't you know it?
Speaker 1: Swamp thing, though he fustweighted. It's Kelly, the neighbor with
Speaker 1: the baby, who looks like she's at her wits end.
Speaker 1: She won't go to sleep, she hasn't slept in three weeks,
Speaker 1: and neither of I.
Speaker 2: Did she knock this time?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, thank god?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: She asks if she can just lean against their doorframe
Speaker 1: to get the baby to settle, and Tapanga tells Corey
Speaker 1: that Kelly and the baby are here and he's already
Speaker 1: over at the sink. You guys got a five eighths
Speaker 1: crescent wrench. Peg is impressed he figured out how to
Speaker 1: fix it. He says, no, I just want to hit
Speaker 1: myself over the head. Kelly winceys, I'm sorry. Was I
Speaker 1: interrupting something? Corey answers, well, we were playing a nice
Speaker 1: little game of swamp thing. Kelly smiles and walks into
Speaker 1: the apartment without asking. Oh, yeah, swamp thing. I remember
Speaker 1: playing swamp thing with my husband. You know what you
Speaker 1: get at the end of the game. Corey wonders, what's that?
Speaker 1: She quickly bursts his bubble, pointing to the screaming baby
Speaker 1: on her shoulder. Hello, Corey tells Tapanga, I don't want
Speaker 1: to play anymore. Topanga offers that they watch the baby,
Speaker 1: so Kelly can go see a movie. I don't know
Speaker 1: why Topanga thinks that's what the mom who hasn't slept
Speaker 1: in three weeks once.
Speaker 2: Or take a nap? Why don't you take it? You
Speaker 2: lay down?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Why does she say go see a movie?
Speaker 2: A rollercoaster?
Speaker 4: But isn't it funny that didn't we say this last episode?
Speaker 4: We said, why does the topanga offer to watch the baby?
Speaker 2: And I was like, I was, we were ahead of
Speaker 2: we were ahead of it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, Why don't you just go to a water park,
Speaker 5: take a second.
Speaker 1: Take some time.
Speaker 3: Exercise.
Speaker 1: Kelly has taken aback. Oh no, I could never do that.
Speaker 1: Topanga asks why you deserve some time to yourself? And
Speaker 1: Corey and I have everything under control, right, honey. Corey
Speaker 1: is back under the sink. There's something staring at me
Speaker 1: in here to Pega insists go see a movie. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Corey's now yelling it's licking me to Panga promises she's
Speaker 1: a really great babysitter. Kelly asks, could I just sleep
Speaker 1: for an hour instead?
Speaker 2: Fair question?
Speaker 1: Fair question? Still under the saint Cory insists, in a
Speaker 1: billy crystal, you look marvelous accent, sleep as long as
Speaker 1: you need, Darling. Finally willing to accept the help, Kelly
Speaker 1: briefs to Panga she just dates, so you might need
Speaker 1: to burper and if she gets fussy, she likes itsy
Speaker 1: bitsy spider the best. Topanga smiles and tells her to
Speaker 1: get some sleep. Kelly hands over the crying baby and
Speaker 1: thanks her with no hen here, by the.
Speaker 5: Way, no diapers, not a bag, nothing, here's the kid
Speaker 5: in a blanket.
Speaker 1: Good luck, enjoy the stinkhole.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: On her way out, she tells Stefanga, you're a really
Speaker 1: good neighbor. I'm glad you're here. Tapanga thanks her and
Speaker 1: begins to sing itsy Bitsy Spider to Savannah, who is
Speaker 1: no longer crying. Savannah the name of the baby.
Speaker 5: I think, so that's apparently now that, by the way,
Speaker 5: the only thing that makes my grandson laugh instantly.
Speaker 2: It'sy Bitsy Spider.
Speaker 5: Oh so the second we heard that too, and I
Speaker 5: were like, well, that's true to life.
Speaker 3: That's cute. Its love it.
Speaker 1: She takes a seat on the floor with the baby
Speaker 1: and asks Corey, how's that water spout going sport? Which
Speaker 1: is hard to say. I don't know why that was
Speaker 1: the line, you know, wat.
Speaker 5: You know what's even harder than that, though, is fixing
Speaker 5: a sink with no tools, no tools or any equipment
Speaker 5: or any new pipes at all.
Speaker 2: It's just him underneath, underneath.
Speaker 1: Just drinking the muddy water.
Speaker 2: It literally is done.
Speaker 4: D That made me so mad because it's like, literally
Speaker 4: the point is you have to do something and then.
Speaker 1: Hold on, my laptop's broken, you got it.
Speaker 4: But I mean it's like the it just ruins the
Speaker 4: whole lesson, Like the whole lesson of this is like
Speaker 4: it should take hard work. So dissolved show that he
Speaker 4: has to go get something.
Speaker 5: Figure there's different pieces of it all over the place,
Speaker 5: and this this doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Speaker 3: I know, dosolve. It's like if it's literally just put
Speaker 3: your head to them. It's like, yeah, I hate it. It
Speaker 3: drove me crazy.
Speaker 5: It did for me as well, and it was like
Speaker 5: what the hep But at the same time, I was
Speaker 5: also thinking, this is ninety nine. If you didn't know
Speaker 5: what you were doing in ninety nine and you had
Speaker 5: to do this, you had to have the entire set
Speaker 5: of those time life books.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like how to fix your house Time life books.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ain't no YouTube. So yeah, but was he drove
Speaker 2: me crazy too? I was like, he literally doesn't even
Speaker 2: have a wrench, he doesn't have anything.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 1: I did just buy that he had tools under there already.
Speaker 3: Why because Corey, they didn't even they don't have stuff
Speaker 3: a sandwich. They don't have enough money for food.
Speaker 1: Apparently I love tuna sandwiches.
Speaker 2: I did too, not the airwan tuna though we tried
Speaker 2: that yesterday. It's disgusting. It's soshy.
Speaker 1: Oh it was gross. I don't like that. You got
Speaker 1: to get an egcel of sandwich from seven to eleven.
Speaker 2: Sixty two dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he admits, I don't know, but it's he bitsy
Speaker 1: spider just laid about five million eggs ut my nose
Speaker 1: to Panga asks mister plumber if it's fixed yet, and
Speaker 1: Corey can't believe her. How could I have fixed it?
Speaker 1: How could anybody do anything good around here? He turns
Speaker 1: the same back on and it's brown, but then it
Speaker 1: magically turns crystal clear. Corey's in shock. They have clear
Speaker 1: water now, she points out, and you fixed it. Corey
Speaker 1: is beaming. We did this, We did it. I feel incredible.
Speaker 1: What a great day for me. Tapanga pulls the blanket
Speaker 1: from the baby's face. Isn't that incredible? But then she
Speaker 1: notices Savannah is finally asleep. She went to sleep for me.
Speaker 1: She's comfortable here. And in case you haven't put it
Speaker 1: together yourself, Corey looks at the baby, then the clear water,
Speaker 1: and then he nods. We are back at Angela and
Speaker 1: Sean's apartment. Sean Angela are lying on the floor reading
Speaker 1: the newspaper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're lying on the floor reading the newspaper, perfect.
Speaker 1: Drinking coffee, just as Corey predicted her. Angela loves their
Speaker 1: life and Sean admits it's what I've always wanted. She
Speaker 1: asks him are you happy, and a somewhat perplexed Sean nods,
Speaker 1: I'm as happy as I'm going to get. Angela wonders
Speaker 1: what does that mean, and he answers, we don't deserve this, Angela,
Speaker 1: not yet. This came easy for us. What I didn't this?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 4: I don't well who talks like this, who is aware
Speaker 4: of themselves as a character and says I don't deserve
Speaker 4: this yet?
Speaker 3: It's the weirdest logic.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5: And yet if seventeen year old Rider has said this
Speaker 5: to me, it would have been perfectly in keeping with
Speaker 5: seventeen year old Rider.
Speaker 6: Really, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Do, because this was you. It's like everything's going really
Speaker 2: good in my life, Hostel. I got to figure out
Speaker 2: how I can this up.
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, I guess I wouldn't express it that way.
Speaker 3: I would probably not know you working harder? I should
Speaker 3: be doing this. Why haven't I accomplished this yet? I
Speaker 3: need to be blah blah.
Speaker 4: I can't just relax like and I'm still doing that, yes,
Speaker 4: my wife and say I'm still doing but I'm never
Speaker 4: gonna say, you know what, I'm really happy right now.
Speaker 4: And that's a problem I need to make you know,
Speaker 4: like I never expressed it this way.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
Speaker 4: The way Sean would actually do this is he would
Speaker 4: screw this up.
Speaker 3: He would, you know.
Speaker 4: It's like, like Sean's the kind of guy who would
Speaker 4: be it doesn't break up with somebody, he just acts.
Speaker 3: He'd just be so bad that he gets broken up
Speaker 3: with so he can have the responsibility.
Speaker 1: And then he can be the victim.
Speaker 3: Exactly. That's exactly what Sean would do in this situation.
Speaker 4: And like he would just ruin this scene because it's like,
Speaker 4: you know, he's not comfortable with the idea of being happy.
Speaker 4: That's a good that's a good character motivation. You don't
Speaker 4: just put it in the character's mouth.
Speaker 3: It's so weird. No one talks like this hot take.
Speaker 5: The apartment is haunted, and anybody who's in there.
Speaker 1: Is exactly you do say. This came easy for us.
Speaker 1: We didn't work at it. It's easy to be happy
Speaker 1: about all this, but what if we were on our
Speaker 1: own and other people weren't helping us pay rent? So
Speaker 1: at the very least we could say that. Sean is saying,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: Because we're I feel bad other people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I want if I were really going to
Speaker 1: be able, what would we be able to afford? We
Speaker 1: could never afford this if we Jack Jack's dad still.
Speaker 4: I was helping him pay for college college because ch
Speaker 4: asked him to help out with all that.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, all right, okay, it's weird.
Speaker 1: Angela realizes you're jealous of Corey and Topanga. You're jealous
Speaker 1: of their stinkhole.
Speaker 2: Here you go.
Speaker 1: Sean explains, I haven't had a lot of good things
Speaker 1: in my life that really belonged to me, so when
Speaker 1: they come along, I want to do my best to
Speaker 1: protect them and hold on to them. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to let anything bad happen to this relationship. Angela shakes
Speaker 1: her head. You're such a sap. Why can't you just
Speaker 1: be happy? Sean is adamant, because this is not real life.
Speaker 1: It's not like Corey and Tapanga. You and I we're
Speaker 1: just playing house. Angela is startled. You want what Corey
Speaker 1: and Topanga have? Do you want to get married. Sean chuckles,
Speaker 1: are you proposing? She clarifies, I'm just asking, and Sean
Speaker 1: tells her not yet, and Angela laughs. She appears to
Speaker 1: feel the same way. Sean throws his arm around her.
Speaker 1: But someday, if and when we do, I promise we'll
Speaker 1: have a stinkhole just like Corey and Tapanga. Angela makes
Speaker 1: him promise, and she sighs, Oh, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: Sean nods me too, and then a sweet moment passes
Speaker 1: between them, before Angela looks off camer and wonders, who's
Speaker 1: going to break it to him? We Panda their new
Speaker 1: saint Bernard clueless lounging on the floor.
Speaker 2: How do you know they named it clueless?
Speaker 3: That's really sweet? So wait, they are not going to
Speaker 3: live together? Is that?
Speaker 2: This is no?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 1: Angela's moving out and Eric and Jack are moving in
Speaker 1: with you?
Speaker 2: I don't like Wait, so Eric and Jack are going
Speaker 2: to live with Sean again? Yes, the ven diagram needed.
Speaker 4: Hold on, but what do I say in this? Because
Speaker 4: I didn't quite understand that.
Speaker 1: We're just playing house. I'm not going to let anything
Speaker 1: bad happen to our relationship, but we're just playing house.
Speaker 1: And if and when we do decide to get married,
Speaker 1: the place we will live in together will be a stinkle?
Speaker 3: When does she say I'm moving out in the tag?
Speaker 2: In the tag?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: But so why do we say who's going to break
Speaker 4: it to him through the dog? As if we've already
Speaker 4: made a decision to do something.
Speaker 1: They think that that conversation was clear. Yeah, but they
Speaker 1: think the audience. They think the audience picked up on
Speaker 1: the idea that what you guys just agreed was that
Speaker 1: you were no longer going to live together. But that
Speaker 1: is not clear.
Speaker 3: It is not clear that I'm so baffled. I was like, Yeah, what,
Speaker 3: who's going to bring what?
Speaker 4: Like, we just decided to not get married, which is
Speaker 4: a cool, fun moment, But then why does that imply
Speaker 4: we have to also move out?
Speaker 1: No, the not needing to move out came from we
Speaker 1: didn't earn this. People are helping us pay rent, and
Speaker 1: we have to do.
Speaker 3: With not being together. I don't understand or not living together.
Speaker 2: I love that you're still trying to figure it out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so did you watch the b story of this episode?
Speaker 3: Go suck a toe exactly.
Speaker 1: We're in the Matthews living room, Amy and Alan are
Speaker 1: cuddled up on the couch reading the newspaper. Marriage drinking
Speaker 1: coffee together beverage the position we recognize as marriage. Then
Speaker 1: Corey into Panga walk through the kitchen door. Corey's holding
Speaker 1: a crystal clear glass of water. Drink this, you know,
Speaker 1: signing no money, giving us, no letting us stay in
Speaker 1: your house, little wisp of a man. Drink it. Alan
Speaker 1: cautiously asks, is it poison? To Panga explains it was
Speaker 1: before Corey fixed it. Alan is surprised he fixed pipes
Speaker 1: dear to Panga casually adds, while I was playing with
Speaker 1: the baby. Alan quips they had a baby. Dear. Corey
Speaker 1: goes into detail. I was gonna call you to come
Speaker 1: over and help me fix the pipes, but I didn't
Speaker 1: want know why because I didn't think you'd help me.
Speaker 1: Would you have helped me? The answer should be hell,
Speaker 1: of course, Alan shakes his head. No, Corey knew it. Well,
Speaker 1: we fix the pipes ourselves. Amy asks how they feel
Speaker 1: about that, and Corey admits, proud, very proud of us. Okay.
Speaker 1: He pulls his wife in close to Panga and I
Speaker 1: are going to paint our place. We're going to put
Speaker 1: in a bookshelf, and when we can afford it, we're
Speaker 1: going to buy that house with the nook without your help.
Speaker 1: What do you have to say to that? Alan stands up.
Speaker 1: I'd say you finally figured it out. He and Amy
Speaker 1: raise their glasses and she adds, welcome to being an adult.
Speaker 2: He couldn't wipe his face off before he still got
Speaker 2: over his face. Did you notice that?
Speaker 1: I know he literally couldn't even he got there. Alan explains,
Speaker 1: when your mother and I got married, we had nothing.
Speaker 1: Nobody would help us. We did fine. Amy adds we
Speaker 1: didn't know it then, but it was the sweetest time
Speaker 1: in our lives. Alan clarifies we bonded together forever. We
Speaker 1: fell completely in love because we knew we had made
Speaker 1: a life for ourselves with no nobody's help but our own.
Speaker 1: He tells Cory, I would never take that away from you, son.
Speaker 1: Corey and Tapanga look at each other a little embarrassed,
Speaker 1: and then back at Amy and Alan with huge grins.
Speaker 1: Corey gives Alan a big hug and he says he's
Speaker 1: sorry to Pega, grabs Alan's hands. Thanks Dad, I'm calling
Speaker 1: you dad. They all hug and it ends in a
Speaker 1: very sweet moment and then we're in the tag. We're
Speaker 1: in Rachel's room, new set alert. Angela's visiting Rachel in
Speaker 1: her new ra digs and Rachel is confused. So you're
Speaker 1: telling me your butts out in the street, Angela explains, well, Sean,
Speaker 1: Jack and Eric are gonna take over the apartment because
Speaker 1: there's three bedrooms, and that's what makes sense.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, none of this makes it, None of this,
Speaker 2: she could start.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Rachel nods, but your butt's out on the street. Angela agrees.
Speaker 1: But if you talk to my last roommate, I bet
Speaker 1: she'll give you some good references. Rachel jokes, you know what,
Speaker 1: I know her, and she is a very beautiful woman.
Speaker 1: Angela agrees that she is. Rachel adds, and she would
Speaker 1: love to have you as her roommate. Angela lights up. Really,
Speaker 1: Rachel gives her a big hug. It's a yes, But
Speaker 1: Rachel still has one big question. Who's getting the dog?
Speaker 1: Then we cut to the boy's apartment. Eric is napping
Speaker 1: on the couch talking in his sleep. Oh, Bridget, your
Speaker 1: breath's so warm. The camera pulls out to reveal that
Speaker 1: the same Bernard is sprawled out on top of him.
Speaker 1: Eric and Jack watch on from the stairs. Should they intervene?
Speaker 1: Jack says no, they actually make a cute couple. Eric
Speaker 1: continues to sleep talk Bridget. I got two words for you,
Speaker 1: Tictac with that the same, Bernard breathes directly into his face.
Speaker 5: That's a fun place to be, by the way, under
Speaker 5: a big dog, just lying on a couch.
Speaker 1: Just panting on you. Yeah, that's marriage cuddling. So yeah,
Speaker 1: none of that made sense, None of that, Like.
Speaker 4: I don't, I did not understand it, like I just don't. No,
Speaker 4: But it's it's all presented as if it like makes
Speaker 4: a logical sense.
Speaker 1: It really presented as is. Let's not. No, let's talk
Speaker 1: about it for too long. So the guys are going
Speaker 1: to move in there because the three bedrooms. That makes sense.
Speaker 1: Rushing right along, no time to think about it. Just
Speaker 1: drop that little nugget of information.
Speaker 3: I don't. I didn't.
Speaker 5: I had no recollection that the three of us moved
Speaker 5: back in together either.
Speaker 1: I don't either.
Speaker 3: So this is the way we started season six? No,
Speaker 3: when did we.
Speaker 1: Have living in the apartments? Yes?
Speaker 5: If Matt Maddie came on season five, so season six
Speaker 5: was us starting there?
