Speaker 1: So I found I don't know if this is even
Speaker 1: a good idea, because it's I found a back page
Speaker 1: journal entry.
Speaker 2: It's not on a piece of paper.
Speaker 3: Is it from the same journal as before?
Speaker 1: Yes, the same journal, but I wrote it on the
Speaker 1: inside hardcover.
Speaker 3: Did you write your own epilogue? What's going on?
Speaker 2: Basically?
Speaker 1: I I was sitting on my desk and I opened
Speaker 1: it and I was like, oh my, it'll just.
Speaker 2: Really give you in some ways.
Speaker 3: It really is.
Speaker 1: It's actually very sad. I'm gonna read it very funny,
Speaker 1: but it's very sad because it really will give you
Speaker 1: into like a real peak into the mind of teenage
Speaker 1: Danielle in the nineties.
Speaker 3: But I know I'm not alone.
Speaker 2: Like I know it was.
Speaker 1: The nineties in general were a time where you know, uh,
Speaker 1: there was really no such thing as body positivity. You
Speaker 1: were you everyone was chasing a wafe look, and if
Speaker 1: you had curves or if you had any sort of
Speaker 1: extra weight, it was really something you were supposed to
Speaker 1: feel bad about. And I have always been the type
Speaker 1: of person who I gain weight relatively quickly, and but
Speaker 1: I gain it evenly. I don't necessarily have one like
Speaker 1: quote unquote problem area where all my weight goes to
Speaker 1: this area. I gain weight in this area, and then
Speaker 1: when my body's like, well that's enough weight there, I
Speaker 1: just moves on to another area until I have a
Speaker 1: soft plumpness everywhere.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't mind if you're I'd rather it.
Speaker 3: Keeps me hurt. Distributed evenly distributed is great. Also, a
Speaker 3: lot of people out there, for the record, big fan of.
Speaker 1: Curves just saying yes, yes, and and I realized that
Speaker 1: in hindsight as I aged, and I would then and
Speaker 1: then the Internet, and I became more adept at the Internet,
Speaker 1: and I would see comments people had made about me
Speaker 1: when I was on Boy Meets World when I did
Speaker 1: have more weight on me than I did in the
Speaker 1: first couple of seasons, and I found that there were
Speaker 1: plenty of people who were like, I think Tapega looked
Speaker 1: better with more weight on her than she did earlier on.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, that's that's the first time
Speaker 1: I'm hearing of that. Anyway, I in high school was
Speaker 1: one of the only people who really did if I
Speaker 1: watched her weight. My girlfriends could all eat whatever they wanted, really, yes,
Speaker 1: And I don't know. They were cheerleaders, so I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's also because they were significantly more active
Speaker 1: than I was. Like they were, you know, doing cheer
Speaker 1: every day after.
Speaker 3: Sure they weren't just in private act like maybe.
Speaker 1: But no, Like for lunches and stuff, they would think
Speaker 1: nothing of having like a big thick slice of pizza.
Speaker 3: And a Matt Lawrence. They were all Matt Lawrence.
Speaker 1: It went yeah, and I would be like, oh no,
Speaker 1: if I were to eat a piece of pizza every
Speaker 1: day for lunch and a bag of chips, I would
Speaker 1: definitely I would.
Speaker 2: I would have weight on me.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: And so anyway, on the back page of this journal.
Speaker 1: Don't ask me why I didn't write it on the
Speaker 1: date that it happened. But and I'm going to read
Speaker 1: it funny and you'll just have to hear the sadness
Speaker 1: within it. But God, today I found something I've dreaded hearing.
Speaker 1: I have never been so hurt in my life. I
Speaker 1: found out Jen, my best friend next to Jess, said
Speaker 1: that the other day when she saw me, it looked
Speaker 1: like I had gained weight. I wanted to cry on
Speaker 1: the phone. I was with Teddy on the phone. My
Speaker 1: journal needed to know who I was talking to. I
Speaker 1: really hated Jen. Then maybe I will never eat again.
Speaker 3: Oh never, not not not talk to Jen, but never again.
Speaker 1: If you don't think I could go up a notch,
Speaker 1: you're wrong. Then I'll die and that'll.
Speaker 3: Show Oh go, that's so.
Speaker 4: It's like imagining your own funeral. So you see everybody sad,
Speaker 4: and it'd be.
Speaker 1: Such a skinny little casket.
Speaker 3: I just want to want a tooth pick.
Speaker 5: You just I miss her so much. But god, she
Speaker 5: looks thin.
Speaker 3: God, look to my god.
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but she just done this.
Speaker 3: She around this year. This is horrible.
Speaker 1: Away there and their tiny little skirt, their tiny little
Speaker 1: skirts eating pizza. Oh god, oh man, terrible. Anyway, then
Speaker 1: I'll die and that'll show her that's skinny, asked.
Speaker 3: Did you really write that? Amazing?
Speaker 2: I wrote, who's she to talk?
Speaker 1: Little miss five six ninety pounder, and then I gave
Speaker 1: myself a PostScript. I don't know how much longer, but
Speaker 1: I circled who I was angry there by the way
Speaker 1: I'm eating.
Speaker 4: That's great, but that's actually great, Like you reflected on it.
Speaker 3: I looked I apparently read it a while later, and
Speaker 3: when you were able to say this is a little
Speaker 3: extreme this is healthy. So you were just venting.
Speaker 1: Yes, I was venting, which is a great point of
Speaker 1: a diary to just.
Speaker 3: Ben I'm so glad.
Speaker 4: But see, that's such a sign that that you know,
Speaker 4: because a lot of people do get caught.
Speaker 3: And I mean that's what interrexy is, right.
Speaker 4: It is like a trap of like I'm going to
Speaker 4: turn all these feelings and insecurities inward and it's going
Speaker 4: to be my fault and I'm gonna get control of this.
Speaker 3: And oh, I'm so glad that you came back and
Speaker 3: revised that. I came back.
Speaker 1: I revised it, and I wanted myself to know I
Speaker 1: was eating and I was fine.
Speaker 2: By the way, Jen is still my best friend.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I am.
Speaker 3: My darn it when you know what she is.
Speaker 1: She's still so thin, but now she she does she
Speaker 1: works at it, she works out, she's very healthy, she
Speaker 1: eats well.
Speaker 3: Have you guys ever heard the theory yet?
Speaker 4: I think I kind of agree with this, is that,
Speaker 4: like you know, women women dress and obsess over their
Speaker 4: bodies for other women, and men obsessed over their bodies
Speaker 4: for other men.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, because I think you're like, yeah, because I.
Speaker 4: Think that you know, men like tend to find slightly heavier,
Speaker 4: curvy women attractive, and yet women often judge each other
Speaker 4: for not being you know, so it's and then men,
Speaker 4: of course are like always a woman you'd be like cut,
Speaker 4: yes and huge muscular, and you talk to a lot
Speaker 4: of women they're like, oh, I realized, Oh, it's like
Speaker 4: it's more intragender competition.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: It's more like seacocking within your gender than it is
Speaker 4: actually attracting the opposite because we can only you know,
Speaker 4: I assume that we sort of see the world through
Speaker 4: our own gender filter, and so of course it's like
Speaker 4: it's way easier for me to like kind of judge
Speaker 4: the appearance of other men than I, and then it
Speaker 4: is for women. So I don't I kind of fascinateing.
Speaker 4: I've had to like start in turning that part of
Speaker 4: my brain off and be like, if you know, because
Speaker 4: I if I want to be attractive to women, it's
Speaker 4: a different brain state than like I think comes naturally.
Speaker 1: To me, right, Yeah, I mean, I will also tell
Speaker 1: you I did update. I think I told you once
Speaker 1: not that long ago, that I would probably be having
Speaker 1: some sort of mommy makeover situation. That I wanted to
Speaker 1: maybe have a tummy tuck, and I had a consultation
Speaker 1: and I will not be doing it.
Speaker 3: Yes, good, thank god. I until Jen talks behind your.
Speaker 1: Jen tells me the last time she sees me honestly skinny.
Speaker 3: As no, that's why.
Speaker 5: So I was talking to Susan about this the other
Speaker 5: day because I noticed so what. I went back to
Speaker 5: see my parents, and when you hit a certain age,
Speaker 5: all people talk about are their ailments, the people they
Speaker 5: know that have died.
Speaker 3: You know, that's it.
Speaker 5: And then I also noticed women of a certain age,
Speaker 5: every time they got together, there'd be six or seven
Speaker 5: of them around a table. Sometimes, Danielle, you'd be involved
Speaker 5: in this, and the conversation was always about plastic surgery
Speaker 5: or some kind of beauty, what you were doing. And
Speaker 5: so you hit an age and it's like everybody's having
Speaker 5: the same conversation.
Speaker 3: And I get especially I have to imagine. I don't get.
Speaker 5: I have to imagine it's difficult for women to age.
Speaker 5: I must be hard to do.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I think women have you know, it's a big generalization,
Speaker 5: but I think generally have a more difficult time with
Speaker 5: it than men do. And so it becomes the subject
Speaker 5: of conversation, and I keep saying to like my wife, like,
Speaker 5: I hope you never do anything you have to do
Speaker 5: you obviously, because you have to feel however you want
Speaker 5: to feel, to be the best version of yourself.
Speaker 3: But don't ever do it for me, because I still.
Speaker 5: Think you're the hottest woman I've ever met in real life,
Speaker 5: And like, I just want to make sure that she
Speaker 5: knows that as much as possible, because it's like, if
Speaker 5: you've got to do it for your own mental health
Speaker 5: or whatever, that's one thing, but don't make it about me,
Speaker 5: because you're awesome.
Speaker 3: So but it's weird you here.
Speaker 1: We don't we're not truthfully, We're not doing it for
Speaker 1: you or for in my case, Jensen, or for the
Speaker 1: random man on a street who we want.
Speaker 3: It's just that's not it.
Speaker 1: It's the way we feel about ourselves. And you know,
Speaker 1: as women have to. If you've had children, you've physically
Speaker 1: created and grown a life inside your body, it would
Speaker 1: be crazy to think that it would not have lasting changes,
Speaker 1: sure on the structure of your body. And for me,
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a sense of like I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to have of somebody I've never owned right,
Speaker 1: I'm not looking like, here's a body of somebody I
Speaker 1: find attractive, give me her body for me. It's about
Speaker 1: could you get my body back to a little bit
Speaker 1: of a pre baby body, just because that's what I'm
Speaker 1: used to dressing, that's what feels most like me.
Speaker 3: I've only been a mom for five years.
Speaker 1: For thirty eight years, I was not pregnant or having babies,
Speaker 1: so that's the body I'm kind of used to.
Speaker 2: But there is no easy way out.
Speaker 3: There was. Really it was kind of like for me.
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I'm not gonna what am I gonna all
Speaker 1: of a sudden be very consistent about my diet and
Speaker 1: work out regularly.
Speaker 3: That's not me who I am. I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll just take this easy way. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: very expensive, but it will be easy. This is my
Speaker 1: thought process where someone will just go in, they'll suck
Speaker 1: fat out, they'll cut, they'll tighten skin up. I'll be
Speaker 1: uncomfortable for a few weeks and then I'll be perfectly
Speaker 1: comfortable in my clothes again. Right, And then I had
Speaker 1: the consultation and it's like, well, for twelve weeks, you're
Speaker 1: sleeping in a recliner and you you you're.
Speaker 3: It's this because you don't want to.
Speaker 1: You know, they've they've cut you from hip to hip basically,
Speaker 1: and and you can't lay flat because you're stretching out
Speaker 1: what they've just tightened. And I was like, sleeping in
Speaker 1: a recliner twelve weeks my number one favorite thing in life.
Speaker 3: Star She's just a stat.
Speaker 5: It's something that messes with Danielle sleeps, She's already out.
Speaker 3: I'm like, uh no, no way.
Speaker 1: And then you know, if while I was talking about
Speaker 1: doing a tummy tuck, it was like, well listen, maybe
Speaker 1: I'll also do a breastlift and they're like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: well we slice the tendons to do that, and so
Speaker 1: that like that, you have to have Taranosaurus rex arms
Speaker 1: for twelve weeks. You can't pick up your children, you
Speaker 1: can't pick up anything heavy, and you literally can't do
Speaker 1: anything with your arms that isn't within this range. And
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, I'm just going to join
Speaker 1: a gym and I'm gonna I am gonna try to
Speaker 1: eat better and I'm and if I say, the twelve
Speaker 1: weeks of recovery were gonna be miserable. Starting on the
Speaker 1: day I decide to do it, I'm going to see
Speaker 1: where I start at week on day one and where
Speaker 1: I end at the end of week twelve, and if
Speaker 1: I can get myself to a place where at the
Speaker 1: end of twelve weeks, I go, Wow, I'm so glad
Speaker 1: I didn't have surgery, because even though I don't have
Speaker 1: a perfect body, now I am to a place where
Speaker 1: I'm more comfortable in my clothes, which is.
Speaker 2: Truly all I'm looking for. So anyway, I just want
Speaker 2: to give you that.
Speaker 3: We got to go back to Danielle.
Speaker 4: We got to definitely notice that twelve weeks is like
Speaker 4: kind of the minimum though, Like if you really want
Speaker 4: to change something in your life, you got to commit
Speaker 4: at least, Like twelve weeks is exactly right, Like you
Speaker 4: have to do three months, because I know a lot
Speaker 4: of people are doing like sober January or whatever, and
Speaker 4: you're like, it doesn't really make that much of it.
Speaker 3: They kind of just go right back to whatever habit,
Speaker 3: you know, whereas it you do three months of anything, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it kind can see it. Yeah, it really makes a different.
Speaker 3: So I agree. I think I think twelve weeks is
Speaker 3: a good call.
Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate it, Thanks for the support. Happy
Speaker 1: to give you guys the update. Love that sixteen year
Speaker 1: old Danielle and forty three year old Danielle are having
Speaker 1: the same conversation.
Speaker 3: So welcome to Pod meets World. I'm Danielle Fischel, I'm
Speaker 3: right or strong, and I'm a skinny ass.
Speaker 6: I'm not. I'm Will Fordell.
Speaker 1: Welcome to this episode of Pod Meets World. We are
Speaker 1: recapping season four, episode twenty two, Learning to Fly. It
Speaker 1: is the season finale of season four. It originally aired
Speaker 1: May second, nineteen ninety seven. The synopsis Eric is visiting
Speaker 1: Beach State, his potential new college, and Corey and Sean
Speaker 1: and Topanga plan to tag along, but when Tapanga's aunt
Speaker 1: won't let her go, it throws the weekend and their
Speaker 1: relationship into a totally different direction.
Speaker 5: Now that's a synopsis. Remember we just had Sean joins
Speaker 5: a cult.
Speaker 3: Well as much a synopsis you couldn't.
Speaker 4: You couldn't say Sean joins a cult and Turner gets
Speaker 4: a rem psycho, and Sean rediscovers his religion. You know,
Speaker 4: he finds God talks to him like it's like all
Speaker 4: those steps was like an Andronicle antratical.
Speaker 2: So funny.
Speaker 3: It was directed by Jeff McCracken.
Speaker 1: It was written by Jeff Sherman, his last Boy Meets
Speaker 1: World script.
Speaker 5: And this apparently one of the caveats for him coming
Speaker 5: back was this script was getting Eric into college.
Speaker 3: It makes sense, Yeah, it sure does.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 1: Guest starring the first appearance by Ms. Bonnie Bartlett as
Speaker 1: Dean Lilah boll And.
Speaker 3: I totally forgot that I'm the first one to work
Speaker 3: with her.

Speaker 1: of William Daniels and is a three time Emmy nominee
Speaker 1: slash two time winner for her supporting role as Ellen
Speaker 1: Craig on the drama Saint Elsewhere, one of three shows
Speaker 1: where she would play a character married to Bill Daniels's character.
Speaker 3: Wait a second, this one. I know I was gonna
Speaker 3: quiz you.
Speaker 1: There's no Saint Elsewhere and obviously Boy Meets World.
Speaker 3: Will what's the third the third show that Bonnie plays? Oh?
Speaker 5: God, I have no idea unless there's a female kit,
Speaker 5: which would be awesome.
Speaker 2: Oh wouldn't that be cool? No, it's touched by an angel.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, interesting like a guest star.
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting, probably did a little maybe a episode.
Speaker 3: It was eighteen when she met him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh my gosh, I thought you were gonna say
Speaker 2: when she was on the show.
Speaker 3: I was like, Michael, just the makeup.
Speaker 1: That's like one of those things where it's like today
Speaker 1: the year would be.
Speaker 2: In fact, Bonnie Barlet's actually eighteen in this.
Speaker 1: Bonnie is a legend who appeared in shows like gun Smoke,
Speaker 1: Little House on the Prairie, Home Improvement, and The Golden Girls,
Speaker 1: and in movies like Twins, Dave, and Primary Colors. The
Speaker 1: ninety four year old recently wrote a spicy memoir called
Speaker 1: Middle of the Rainbow, How a wife, mother and daughter
Speaker 1: managed to find herself and win two Emmys. So if
Speaker 1: you haven't checked it out, pick up that book.
Speaker 3: I love Bonnie. It's been so great to spend time
Speaker 3: with her. One of the bests in the last couple
Speaker 3: of years, because I didn't really talk to her back.
Speaker 4: Then, you know, And she really is just one of
Speaker 4: my favorite people. She's so she she speaks her mind
Speaker 4: almost more than anybody I've ever met, and I.
Speaker 3: She doesn't care, she says she's like ninety four. I
Speaker 3: don't care.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's so and she's so sharp and just brilliant
Speaker 4: and a great actor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really love her. And she's got great stories.
Speaker 3: You know, she has great memory. She tells great stories
Speaker 3: about her. We talk. I talk to her.
Speaker 5: I call them, you know, probably once every two weeks
Speaker 5: or so, or every time she calls me, no matter
Speaker 5: how if even she just called me Bonnie. No, she
Speaker 5: goes will Bonnie Daniels every time, will Bonnie.
Speaker 3: Daniel Hey, Bonnie. So cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a very she's a great storyteller. But she's
Speaker 1: also a really good listener. She's can you just she's
Speaker 1: always very present, and yeah, love her so much. And
Speaker 1: then we have Brigita Doo as Julie. She also appeared
Speaker 1: on twenty one Jump Street Weird So It's the TV
Speaker 1: show Sliders and two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place.
Speaker 1: She left acting in two thousand and five and is
Speaker 1: now a certified life coach, Pilate's instructor and author.
Speaker 2: Oh cool.
Speaker 1: And then we have Lisa Dean Ryan as Mary Beth.
Speaker 1: She is best known as Wanda Plean, one of the
Speaker 1: stars of Doogie Howser MD and she played Maria from
Speaker 1: the show Dead at twenty one. Her last acting credit
Speaker 1: was in two thousand and five, and we couldn't find
Speaker 1: anything else about her since there's no trace of her
Speaker 1: on the internets.
Speaker 3: She was kind of a big deal, big deal I
Speaker 3: think they did. Yeah.
Speaker 4: My feeling about her, like when I saw her on screen,
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my gosh, I forgot all about her.
Speaker 4: But the second I was like, I think they either
Speaker 4: wrote this part for her where they built or they
Speaker 4: just offered it to.
Speaker 3: It Because my mind, she was like a big deal
Speaker 3: to have on set.
Speaker 1: Writer, Is she the guest star that was significantly older
Speaker 1: than you that then you were mentioning when Trina comes
Speaker 1: on the show in season five?
Speaker 4: No, I'm pretty sure that was one of the English girls.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, because I'm pretty sure it was Lisa Dean
Speaker 1: Ryan is ten years older than us.
Speaker 4: No, because I had to make out with the girl
Speaker 4: who had a kid and was older, it was she
Speaker 4: was twenty she was at least twenty six. In my
Speaker 4: mind it was she was twenty eight and had a kid.
Speaker 4: We didn't know she had a kid until she showed
Speaker 4: up with a stroller. And I'm pretty sure it was one.
Speaker 2: Of the Sparrow the Sparrow twins.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure was that the woman there would have
Speaker 3: been the one you were making out with. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure. It turned out that she had a kid
Speaker 3: and was way older than we thought, which I don't
Speaker 3: I haven't looked up, but yeah, I actually had that
Speaker 3: same memory.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, Trina's coming soon, which means it
Speaker 4: would have been one of these guests, and nobody's looked.
Speaker 3: That much older.
Speaker 1: So I thought of it last night when we looked
Speaker 1: when we were looking up Lisa Dean Ryan trying to
Speaker 1: find more information about her, and she's she's fifty two now,
Speaker 1: and I'm I just turned forty three, so she's ten
Speaker 1: years older than me. So I thought, wow, if WRITER
Speaker 1: were seventeen at this point, she must have been, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 4: It was the whole point was that it was somebody
Speaker 4: I was making out with, and when I found out
Speaker 4: she had a kid, I was kind of like.
Speaker 2: Oh, you thought maybe it could have been your kid
Speaker 2: you had.
Speaker 3: Been making seventeen. The thing was I wasn't eighteen yet,
Speaker 3: you know, I was still seventeen this season, so that
Speaker 3: it was just weird to be, you know.
Speaker 1: And then also we have Sandra Ellis Lafferty as Missus Bluteman,
Speaker 1: which I'm sure was a Missus Blutman. Oh yeah, that's great,
Speaker 1: Missus Bluteman. Her resume includes two Hunger Games movies. She
Speaker 1: played Maybelle Carter and Walk the Line, and appears in
Speaker 1: the great twenty thirteen movie Prisoners. I found this this
Speaker 1: little fact about her to be rather shocking. She began
Speaker 1: her film and TV career at fifty years old.
Speaker 3: Is that awesome? Yeah, isn't that amazing?
Speaker 1: And she's still working today at aging eighty four.
Speaker 3: Stuff. Yes, that's so cool.
Speaker 2: Isn't that great?
Speaker 5: Hearing those starts like the guy who played Seinfeld's dad
Speaker 5: for years on Seinfeld I think started acting at fifty cool,
Speaker 5: and I think Morgan Freeman somebody started at forty two.
Speaker 3: I mean maybe it was Samuel Jackson.
Speaker 5: It's great to hear these kind of like oh, I
Speaker 5: want to do this, and then you go and you
Speaker 5: do it and you knock it out of the park.
Speaker 3: It's really cool. So overall thoughts, it was really fun.
Speaker 4: I liked this episode a great such a positive way
Speaker 4: to end the season, and the same thing, and it
Speaker 4: really just makes Eric's arc the structure, structure and arc
Speaker 4: of the season. And it made so much sense, like
Speaker 4: all the things that Jeff have been telling us, like
Speaker 4: came to fruition.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah I was. I felt
Speaker 3: like I was checked out.
Speaker 4: Like whenever, Sean is just like girl crazy and like
Speaker 4: in for jokes, you could tell that, like I just
Speaker 4: I'm just.
Speaker 3: Half and you were also losing it a couple of times.
Speaker 3: And this is a legendary moment. Legendary moment. I believe
Speaker 3: it was that obvious on screen. It is so bad.
Speaker 3: There's two moments where it is so clear and I'm just.
Speaker 5: Trying to make each other laugh the uh so that Yeah,
Speaker 5: that was hysterical the entire thing. I also thought.
Speaker 3: Ben killed it in this episode.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the scenes with just him and Lisa Dean Ryan,
Speaker 5: it's just the two of them for a while, Yeah,
Speaker 5: in that bedroom, and he is so funny and then
Speaker 5: so sincere, and I just thought he did. I mean,
Speaker 5: I laughed out loud several times in his performance. He
Speaker 5: was great in this episode.
Speaker 2: I thought so too.
Speaker 1: I thought it was so I thought it was really great.
Speaker 1: I think my only complaint about the entire episode is
Speaker 1: that I wanted it to when Eric comes in and
Speaker 1: then he's grabbing his stuff when he's leaving, and you
Speaker 1: have that amazing speech about I wanted that to be
Speaker 1: because you were saying that to him, because you recognized
Speaker 1: it in your own.
Speaker 3: Need to do And it wasn't that I didn't.
Speaker 4: I feel like they just ran out of time because
Speaker 4: they decided to dedicate a lot of time to the
Speaker 4: Quarry Mary Beth scenes. And I was like what because
Speaker 4: even when in the one scene we get with you
Speaker 4: sort of you know, getting the coke and.
Speaker 3: Like talk, I was like, is this enough? Like what?
Speaker 4: And I also was kind of like, is what's what's
Speaker 4: happening exactly here? And then you've already made the transition
Speaker 4: like off camera.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I agree like that a little more.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is that he hadn't He hadn't he
Speaker 1: It was very confusing to me because he's grabbing his
Speaker 1: stuff and I thought, Wow, he's leaving. He knows this
Speaker 1: isn't the school for him. I don't need to be
Speaker 1: here anymore. I'm grabbing my suitcase and my and my
Speaker 1: stuff and I'm getting out of here.
Speaker 2: But he's not.
Speaker 3: Now, so what is he doing. He's just he's actually.
Speaker 1: Only he came so I had, because I had, I
Speaker 1: had to fully talk it out last night because I
Speaker 1: was so confused.
Speaker 3: I am. I obviously am too. I didn't realize how confused.
Speaker 1: He arrived at the door only to be looking for Corey.
Speaker 1: He wanted Corey to go join him for some fun
Speaker 1: they were having. And then when Corey was there and
Speaker 1: he was gonna be he was getting his stuff to
Speaker 1: leave them alone. He wasn't going to be staying there,
Speaker 1: and he was going to be leaving rooms. Who knows
Speaker 1: where he was going to sleep. But when Corey turns
Speaker 1: it around and says, well, how about you, you deserve
Speaker 1: better than Penbrooke, you realize in that moment, Eric's not
Speaker 1: taking he didn't. Corey's the one who tells him he
Speaker 1: deserves Penbrook. Eric is still saying, but this is a
Speaker 1: sure thing, and how on earth could I ever turn
Speaker 1: down a sure thing? And Corey goes like this, and
Speaker 1: that's what prompts Eric to decide he's going to deserve more.
Speaker 2: But I had lot when we were in that scene.
Speaker 3: I was loving, Oh.
Speaker 1: My gosh, he's had this realization and now it's going
Speaker 1: to perfectly land for Corey.
Speaker 3: What an amazing turn for Eric? I got was that
Speaker 3: was actually not what's happening, not having it at all?
Speaker 5: No, yeah, it was I felt the same thing. I
Speaker 5: was like, oh, this is great, he's talking about himself,
Speaker 5: but to Corey, to Corey and this decision already and
Speaker 5: this is the decision you have to make. You gotta
Speaker 5: do what you got to do. But I've already made
Speaker 5: this decision, and I thought exactly the same thing.
Speaker 4: That's when he was leaving to win surf across around
Speaker 4: the campus.
Speaker 1: Well, no, he windsurfs around the campus and also the snorkeling,
Speaker 1: but then apparently takes off his what.
Speaker 2: Maybe soon puts back on the same globe.
Speaker 5: The same giant shirt, the same enormous square shirt that
Speaker 5: I'm wearing the entire time.
Speaker 3: Yes, so, but he does talk.
Speaker 1: He's on his way to go do something else really fun,
Speaker 1: similar to that, right, and so yeah, so that's my
Speaker 1: only complaint is that, yeah.
Speaker 3: Eric developed Eric. A little little more time with Eric,
Speaker 3: or a little.
Speaker 5: More a little little him figuring it out himself would
Speaker 5: have been more powerful.
Speaker 2: I think correct, It's it's exactly what it would have been.
Speaker 1: It would have been more powerful for him to And
Speaker 1: by the way, I still love how the two storylines
Speaker 1: crossed and tied together always, and I loved that the
Speaker 1: season started with the two of you guys on a
Speaker 1: road trip, you not knowing what your future was.
Speaker 4: My god, you guys, you've driven this entire sees like
Speaker 4: it's so cool to see that this, I mean, this
Speaker 4: is exactly what Sherman was talking about when he was
Speaker 4: on our show, is that this is the like you
Speaker 4: going whether you're going to be a towny, whether you're
Speaker 4: going to go to college.
Speaker 3: Is and it makes so much sense.
Speaker 4: Like the sat stuff that we've kind of been critical of,
Speaker 4: it's all this is the this is the Eric season.
Speaker 4: It's so really well there's no long talk to Pittsburgh
Speaker 4: in there, but like you were carrying the show. It's
Speaker 4: so cool to see, Like I didn't realize that at
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 3: You remember you did it season three?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, and now Eric does it season four.
Speaker 4: I get the very special one off this season. But
Speaker 4: your arc is the Although that's true, I'm this was
Speaker 4: it this season that my mom came back and all
Speaker 4: that that's.
Speaker 5: The parents was this season too. Though this was a
Speaker 5: this was an Eric sean year. Yes, it was all
Speaker 5: the way around, and then I think starting next year
Speaker 5: it's going to be Corey Topanga from here right.
Speaker 1: Just find it very interesting that this season started with
Speaker 1: Eric not knowing what he was doing and there and
Speaker 1: then ended on Eric having that And like we said,
Speaker 1: season three was all about Seawn. So it is very
Speaker 1: weird that the end of season four also no real
Speaker 1: hurrah for boy.
Speaker 2: It's not it.
Speaker 3: Isn't well, he's not going to lose his virginity.
Speaker 2: There's the hard He's willing to wait.
Speaker 3: He's a mature, nice boy.
Speaker 2: He's a nice.
Speaker 3: Horny We are in the horn dog era. I just loved.
Speaker 5: I loved When when have I never stopped when you
Speaker 5: said no? How many times has she said no?
Speaker 3: I mean every time? I know, but that's what I like.
Speaker 3: He keeps trying And just spent three hours car the
Speaker 3: other night from the gush. What were they doing a
Speaker 3: lot of kissing.
Speaker 1: At So let's jump into our recap. We start in
Speaker 1: the Matthew's kitchen.
Speaker 4: Knowing that this is the last episode. I watched the
Speaker 4: opening credits. I did too, because they wouldn't let me
Speaker 4: skip it if I was filled with feelings and like,
Speaker 4: I was like, this is the last time we're going
Speaker 4: to see them, and I freaking love.
Speaker 3: Them, And I was like, what, you know what I
Speaker 3: watched this time?
Speaker 4: I was like, you know, we're actually talking to each other,
Speaker 4: so like will you and I in the front seat,
Speaker 4: We're just a conversation. And then Danielle, you and Ben
Speaker 4: are talking to each other and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: So for all the hokeness, the horrible green screen, the
Speaker 4: weirdness of where we're sitting.
Speaker 3: On the the the.
Speaker 4: Bench seats or the car h we actually have moments
Speaker 4: of like I could see us being us and it
Speaker 4: really felt like, oh wow, that's that's us and I
Speaker 4: So so we do switch it up next year. It's
Speaker 4: different next year. Yeah, next year it's the one where
Speaker 4: Enough dumped on us. Now we're into the era I'm
Speaker 4: pretty sure of the like hanging out in New York
Speaker 4: Street right the back block, that's where we went.
Speaker 3: Back to CBS rad Or we went to CBS Radford.
Speaker 1: And I'm really glad you pointed that out right because
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't even think about it that it
Speaker 1: was the last time we were going to see any
Speaker 1: of those credits. But I will say without even recognizing it.
Speaker 1: Somewhere along the way. They grew on me too, because
Speaker 1: I'm not bothered.
Speaker 2: By them anymore.
Speaker 3: I haven't forgot about it. Like a slow, slow, slow brain,
Speaker 3: make room for it.
Speaker 4: It starts under one veil. You barely notice it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's all the way to your elbow.
Speaker 5: The next thing you know, you got a tape for them.
Speaker 5: You can eat anything and you're still losing weight.
Speaker 1: I mean, no cranits like that's the way to go.
Speaker 1: Anybody know where you can buy a tape?
Speaker 3: Work? Probably? Jen? Jen probably knows all right.
Speaker 1: So jumping into our recap, we're in the Matthew's kitchen.
Speaker 1: Eric's leaving for an interview at a college named Beach State,
Speaker 1: and Amy and Alan wonder if it's actually a real school.
Speaker 1: Alan notices the admissions letter has a lot of typos
Speaker 1: in it. Eric scoffs, show me one. Alan reads yours
Speaker 1: truly the being of admission.
Speaker 3: I love that, and I love my following.
Speaker 5: I like that joke and.
Speaker 4: It's just so thrown away.
Speaker 3: That's also just kind of love going down the like
Speaker 3: because it sounds like something my high school like kind
Speaker 3: of could have done, like just renamed the dean of
Speaker 3: being and been like, it's kissy, it's cool. We're looking
Speaker 3: at teams beans. I love it. It was like it
Speaker 3: kind of actually could work.
Speaker 1: My gosh, oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3: So yeah, Eric sees nothing wrong with the bean. It's
Speaker 3: a very hard school to get into.
Speaker 1: Shan strolls in carrying a beach umbrella and wearing a
Speaker 1: Hawaiian shirt. I am so psyched about this road trip.
Speaker 1: Beach date's been recruiting me since kindergarten. My dad's good
Speaker 1: friends with the bean. I love it, of course, where
Speaker 1: Chat knows the bean, it's amazing. It's a perfect read.
Speaker 1: The way you throw it away so funny. And Corey
Speaker 1: bursts in. He asks if anyone has seemed to Panga yet,
Speaker 1: and Sean says no, but she better hurry. If they
Speaker 1: get there too late, the tide comes in and they
Speaker 1: won't be able to park on campus.
Speaker 3: Now that's my ques.
Speaker 5: Where do you think in the country, this, this university is?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 3: The Jersey Shore is not what we're thinking?
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, that's what I was very outside window
Speaker 5: to the Jersey Shore, Okay, just it's like Hawaiian waters
Speaker 5: outside her window.
Speaker 3: It was like okay.
Speaker 1: I know that's okay, though we have to be able
Speaker 1: to suspend belief a little bit exactly. Sean says he'll
Speaker 1: help load the car. As Corey darts out, Alan stops
Speaker 1: him in his tracks. Amy explains they're okay with him
Speaker 1: staying overnight with the panga, they just want to make
Speaker 1: sure they're clear on the sleeping arrangements. Corey smirks, you're
Speaker 1: worried Corey may get a little freaky this weekend.
Speaker 3: It's like this weird with your parents, Like you's.
Speaker 4: No, I keep going, like, you know, I keep wondering
Speaker 4: how much of this was just like like our culture
Speaker 4: has changed so much, like yeah, maybe it was okay,
Speaker 4: Maybe it was like maybe we just joking around.
Speaker 5: I used to stay stuff like that to my parents.
Speaker 5: I mean, you're totally kidding and you're like, you know,
Speaker 5: I'm getting my free going this weekend.
Speaker 3: Like I don't think kids do that nowadays.
Speaker 4: And I'm wondering if that's a problem, Like maybe we
Speaker 4: should make jokes like that, Like maybe it should be okay.
Speaker 1: I think the reason they're not making jokes like that
Speaker 1: is because apparently no one's going.
Speaker 5: It's generation.
Speaker 4: Everybody wants to be correct and like, you know, yeah,
Speaker 4: we're like losing our in touch, like with our bodies
Speaker 4: and our sexuality. And I'm like, maybe maybe we should
Speaker 4: just be okay with it.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's bring it back. Alan's not
Speaker 1: amused anything happens to Tapanga.
Speaker 2: I'll kill you.
Speaker 1: Corey frowns, you like her better than me? And Alan nods,
Speaker 1: And then we're in the Matthew's backyard. Phoene is tending
Speaker 1: to his garden like it's season one and assures Eric
Speaker 1: that it's fine.
Speaker 4: I was just like, this is such a comforting, and
Speaker 4: also he is. He's wearing a very cool gardening what
Speaker 4: I think would be called a choor shirt, which I've
Speaker 4: discovered is like a thing.
Speaker 1: That I kind of like these days, lots of pockets
Speaker 1: for all your tools.
Speaker 3: For your garden sycling. No, he wore a fishing vest
Speaker 3: of four, but no.
Speaker 4: Chor shirts have become like kind of fashionable, and like,
Speaker 4: I I think I own something that's technically a chore shirt.
Speaker 4: I could kind of dress like Phoenie these days.
Speaker 5: Find no one's getting late. This is the problem.
Speaker 3: We are officially old. When we're looking at Bill daniels.
Speaker 4: Wardrobe also I should take up gardening.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's healthy and I've never been good
Speaker 3: at it. I kill any point it love I would.
Speaker 5: You could never have got me gardening before and going
Speaker 5: outside and spreading mulch and planting stuff has become like
Speaker 5: a favorite thing of mine. It's so weird, very bizarre
Speaker 5: and stretching pants. Nothing wrong with that either. I'm just
Speaker 5: saying we're hitting an age people.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 5: I said the same thing to s We're watching this thing.
Speaker 5: And we came on screen and it's Bill and I
Speaker 5: across the fence from each other, and I just looked
Speaker 5: at her and I was like, oh, I missed this
Speaker 5: so much. I missed just the across the fence Eric
Speaker 5: or Corey with Feoenie and there's wisdom and it's just
Speaker 5: the two shot, and oh god, it was awesome.
Speaker 3: It's so great.
Speaker 1: It was so Poene assures Eric it is fine to
Speaker 1: look at other colleges, but he hopes he'll give Siria
Speaker 1: his consideration to Pennbrook. Eric asks Feoene if he really
Speaker 1: thinks he's Penbrook material, I mean, the place is filled
Speaker 1: with one hundred year old buildings and smart people. He'll
Speaker 1: get trounced there. Phoene doesn't deny it'll be a challenge,
Speaker 1: but once Eric graduates, he'll have a degree that actually
Speaker 1: means something. Eric feels like Beach State is a sure thing.
Speaker 1: Phoene adds, sometimes a sure thing is not the best thing.
Speaker 1: He tells Eric he knows he's going to do what's right,
Speaker 1: and he walks back into his house, probably to eat
Speaker 1: salad for one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a lot of sure thing references. Do
Speaker 4: you think it's an actual reference to the thing?
Speaker 3: The sure thing? Know this? Gosh, are you kidding me?
Speaker 5: I could quote it to you backwards and forest right now,
Speaker 5: from the beginning to the end. It's one of the
Speaker 5: best movies ever made.
Speaker 3: Bob Ryner directed. I don't know if it worked.
Speaker 5: Did he? But it's Yeah, it's Daphney Zuniga. It's what's
Speaker 5: his name, John Cusack, and it's a young man's trip
Speaker 5: across country road trip to have sex with the sure thing,
Speaker 5: and then he falls in love with Daphne's gonna go
Speaker 5: along the way because she's also.
Speaker 6: Going across country.
Speaker 2: Well then knowing that, yes.
Speaker 3: Great, it's a pretty direct reference. I think I think
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 5: Now I have an overall question for you, and I
Speaker 5: asked this every last episode that we do of a season.
Speaker 5: Do you think by season four last episode, we know
Speaker 5: that we've been picked up for season five?
Speaker 2: No, yes, you think so.
Speaker 3: See, I think by this point we've known, right.
Speaker 4: I feel like we didn't know most seasons, but this one,
Speaker 4: I don't know. There's something about the way it's written
Speaker 4: and the way we're performing it that makes me feel
Speaker 4: pretty confident that I think we probably nailed sweeps with
Speaker 4: Long Walk to Pittsburgh. And I think that we were
Speaker 4: because I think if we thought that we were come,
Speaker 4: we're not coming back.
Speaker 3: I think it would have been more of a Corey dramatic.
Speaker 4: Or very questionable, like is Corey gonna be okay?
Speaker 3: Ending?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong because it ends so.
Speaker 4: Triumphant on an Eric note that it's like we're finishing
Speaker 4: Eric's story, and I feel like that would have been
Speaker 4: a weird place for the.
Speaker 3: Whole series to end. I agree like it has to.
Speaker 7: End with men if it's going to be you know,
Speaker 7: huh yeah.
Speaker 1: Topanga awkwardly strolls up, giving Eric a scare, but this
Speaker 1: means it's time for them to go Cory is thrilled
Speaker 1: to see her, and then he realizes she has no
Speaker 1: suitcase and no sleeping bag.
Speaker 3: Whoa. He admits he's flattered, And at first.
Speaker 1: I didn't get the joke, And then I realized, is
Speaker 1: he saying she's just going to be naked and in
Speaker 1: his sleeping bag the whole time?
Speaker 3: Got it? Exactly A.
Speaker 2: Got the joke, got right, got it?
Speaker 1: But that's when Tabanga brings the news that she is
Speaker 1: not going. Corey says he is now less flattered. To
Speaker 1: Pank explains that her aunt won't let them spend the
Speaker 1: night away unsupervised. Corey's confused, unsupervised, but I'll be there
Speaker 1: to Pank explains, that's kind of the problem. Her aunt
Speaker 1: feels that at their age it may be improper. Corey
Speaker 1: is offended. They're old enough to make these decisions by themselves.
Speaker 1: He's going to call her aunt and set things straight,
Speaker 1: but t Peka stops him. What exactly did you think
Speaker 1: was going to happen this weekend? Corey hesitates, I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's a beach a moon you me. He grabs her
Speaker 1: hands and they smile at each other, but Ta Panga
Speaker 1: pulls away. She can't go, and Corey is visibly upset.
Speaker 1: He can't believe to Pangas letting her aunt stop them
Speaker 1: from being alone for a weekend. Corey asks why this
Speaker 1: doesn't mean as much to her as it means to him,
Speaker 1: and to Pega says that's not fair. Corey doesn't think
Speaker 1: it's fair either, and then she leaves without saying another word,
Speaker 1: ending probably one of the.
Speaker 3: Least connected scenes I've seen.
Speaker 2: On the show.
Speaker 3: Ever.
Speaker 2: It is scene, it.
Speaker 1: Is not a good scene, it is not well acted
Speaker 1: by me.
Speaker 4: And the way that it ends just I don't know.
Speaker 4: I had to watch it like three times. I literally
Speaker 4: went back.
Speaker 3: I was like, wait, what are they fighting about exactly now?
Speaker 3: And like what is Corey mad about?
Speaker 4: And when he says I want it to mean as
Speaker 4: much to you as it does to me, I was like, oh, man,
Speaker 4: Like it's just so heady like and yet it's supposed
Speaker 4: to be about something very direct like I want to
Speaker 4: sleep with you, I want to be with you, and
Speaker 4: yet it feels very theoretical and analytical in this weird
Speaker 4: way that's like too abstract. And then I really just
Speaker 4: don't like that. Corey's pissed, Like I don't like that
Speaker 4: he's like, because see then the line is written, is
Speaker 4: you know, is she coming? And not with us? Is
Speaker 4: what Corey says or something like that, and like he
Speaker 4: says it angry and I and I instead of like sad,
Speaker 4: like it could have easily been confused or sad like
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on, like I guess not
Speaker 4: with us, But he's just like not with us, And
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, dude.
Speaker 3: Bro, I think he has that.
Speaker 5: I think he has the stereotypical sixteen year old disappointment
Speaker 5: of I really thought something was going to happen this weekend.
Speaker 3: And right not Yeah, and I guess I guess for me.
Speaker 1: Again, there was not a setup for that except for
Speaker 1: him making one joke, which, because it was to his parents,
Speaker 1: felt like a bit of a well, I don't really
Speaker 1: think I'm going to get freaky this weekend, because if
Speaker 1: I did, I don't know that I would say it
Speaker 1: as directly to my parents. So like, the only way
Speaker 1: we know he did really think alone for a whole
Speaker 1: night this might be my opportunity is one joke he
Speaker 1: made to his parents. So I was like, wait, I
Speaker 1: don't understand why. And then when he said why is
Speaker 1: this not as important to you. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's talking about losing their virginity.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really yeaheah, It's a very important conversation that
Speaker 5: was kind of thrown away. But they're obviously setting it
Speaker 5: up so that he's off kilter and in not a
Speaker 5: great place with Tipango when the sure thing is in
Speaker 5: front of his eyes.
Speaker 4: Which all of this, this whole all of this probably
Speaker 4: would not have even like bumped me at all if
Speaker 4: the Long Walk to Pittsburgh episodes didn't exist. But like,
Speaker 4: coming back to this sort of like last temptation of
Speaker 4: Corey's storyline is really like what like there was no
Speaker 4: doubt in anybody's mind about the maturity of his love
Speaker 4: and Topanga's like the fact that the two of them
Speaker 4: are back to doubting it's like, oh no, oh that
Speaker 4: didn't that didn't happen. And so for me, this episode
Speaker 4: really only bumped me because of those two. If if
Speaker 4: Long Walk to Pittsburgh hadn't happened, which for the record,
Speaker 4: I would be happy about, then this episode would have
Speaker 4: felt more of a piece. But you know, this is
Speaker 4: pretty typical teenage yeah, you know, tension. But if they've
Speaker 4: like she's literally moved her entire life walk how many
Speaker 4: hundreds of miles to be there, and they fought against
Speaker 4: their parents and the ants so to like get this
Speaker 4: kind of like petty and then also think he's gonna
Speaker 4: cheat on her for real, Like, are we're supposed to
Speaker 4: believe that that's a possibility and I think we are?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: Then right, then then that denies everything that they said
Speaker 4: in that Long Walk for Pittsburgh episode, which is like,
Speaker 4: but that was the whole point is that the show
Speaker 4: changed to fit that accommodate there.
Speaker 5: It's weird because they go back and forth from it
Speaker 5: being a love that transcends all to it being a
Speaker 5: regular sixteen year old relationship, right, I mean, and that's
Speaker 5: I mean, that's the thing that it's So this is
Speaker 5: back to a regular sixteen year old relationship. Right, you're right,
Speaker 5: This is exactly a conversation that two sixteen year old
Speaker 5: would have.
Speaker 3: Wait, we were gonna be a way to not I mean,
Speaker 3: it's totally normal. But you're right.
Speaker 5: With Long Walk to Pittsburgh, it's like, we'll walk through
Speaker 5: the fire for each other so nothing will get in
Speaker 5: our way. Yeah, and then it's like, Okay, then the
Speaker 5: temptation is kind of taken away because we already know
Speaker 5: Corey is not going to do anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I felt for me. I mean, yeah, wow, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's not a serialized show that.
Speaker 5: I look at Sean this week, we're coming right off
Speaker 5: the cult episode. He's right back to who he was before,
Speaker 5: and it's like, yeah, so it's it's one of those
Speaker 5: things where they just they do that for one off
Speaker 5: of the character and then they come back and I'm
Speaker 5: just trying to get used to it more.
Speaker 1: I know. Well, just then Sean walks up, where's Stepanga going.
Speaker 1: Corey says, not with us. Sean's glad this means he
Speaker 1: can take his lawn chair, and then we cut to
Speaker 1: a sorority house at a beach new set Alert. The
Speaker 1: building has a banner that reads membership Rush Party, and
Speaker 1: that's how you know it's a college. The conservative house
Speaker 1: mom is in the hallway putting tulips in an already
Speaker 1: filled vase, and behind her we see Eric, Sean and
Speaker 1: Corey frantically being pushed into a closet by one of
Speaker 1: the sorority girls. Once the girl has the boys completely hidden,
Speaker 1: she casually strolls up to the woman missus to say hi.
Speaker 1: Missus Bluteman responds in a thick German accent, it's always
Speaker 1: a good afternoon when.
Speaker 2: There are no boys.
Speaker 3: There are no boys.
Speaker 2: The sorority girl gets nervous.
Speaker 1: Of course, there are no boys, but the pledges track
Speaker 1: dirt into the house again, and it might be from boys.
Speaker 2: Missus Bluteman is furious, boy dirt, not on my watch.
Speaker 1: She takes off, and the boys of boys meets worlds
Speaker 1: dart out of the custodial closet. Sean stops Corey. This
Speaker 1: is his fantasy. He's had this exact dream like a
Speaker 1: million times. Just then, Missus Blutman yells boy, and we
Speaker 1: hear a male voice in the distance.
Speaker 3: Yell out, I'm just delivering a pizza.
Speaker 1: The sorority girl quickly corrals the boys out of the hallway,
Speaker 1: now safe in a very production designed dorm room.
Speaker 5: Oh it is a dorm room, isn't it. Dorm room?
Speaker 5: Dorm room, dorm room.
Speaker 4: I was kind of waiting for the hallway to play
Speaker 4: a bigger part, like more sort of like running and
Speaker 4: racing and hiding.
Speaker 3: But actually Corey opens it and sees her painting. Later,
Speaker 3: If that's it, I was like, it's a big set
Speaker 3: to build for.
Speaker 5: It's also nice to know that the house mom. The
Speaker 5: second you're in the room, you're good. It's like you're
Speaker 5: in a different dimension the second that door shuts, so
Speaker 5: it's like, you get forty two guys in your room.
Speaker 3: You just gotta get them there.
Speaker 2: You gotta get them there. The girl laughs it off.
Speaker 1: If the house mom catches them up there, she'll be
Speaker 1: booted out of the sorority.
Speaker 2: Boys aren't allowed upstairs.
Speaker 3: And then to notice Manel's head nine seconds, didn't you know?
Speaker 4: I was trying to see who else was there. It's
Speaker 4: gang it is Blackman and buske. Okay, right behind her
Speaker 4: door when she closes the door, there's a poster of guys.
Speaker 3: Like it'sl's heads cut out.
Speaker 4: It's our rider's heads taped onto the bodies of the
Speaker 4: like hot guys on the beach.
Speaker 3: It is over her shoulder.
Speaker 5: It's like a two shot.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so funny. I didn't notice the faces.
Speaker 2: I just I was distracted by the bodies.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, I didn't notice the face. Oh so it
Speaker 5: is all about the bodies, and I only.
Speaker 1: Like really oiled up, extremely move, really fit guys, that's.
Speaker 5: Ten speed bikes like fourteen year olds for some reason. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 5: it was, it was, but butman Or it was. It
Speaker 5: was Manel, and then on a wider shot it was
Speaker 5: bust Gang and.
Speaker 3: I figured it was the other ones, but I didn't
Speaker 3: get a good good looking man.
Speaker 1: Prominent is so funny, but starting another very funny runner.
Speaker 1: As Sean finishes her sentence in unison, especially not in
Speaker 1: the bedrooms.
Speaker 2: He knew she was going to say that.
Speaker 1: Because of his dream, brilliant everything is the exact same,
Speaker 1: and then right on cue Eric and Sean both yell out,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in your dreams.
Speaker 2: It is so.
Speaker 4: Funny, very clever, right, it almost goes too far, I mean,
Speaker 4: but it really I kind of love it.
Speaker 3: Every time. I'm just going the whole up the football thing.
Speaker 2: It is so funny.
Speaker 1: Eric focus his attention back on the girl, whose name
Speaker 1: is Julie. He's happy to see her again and he
Speaker 1: is thankful that she's letting them stay here. On the
Speaker 1: other side of the room, Sean is staring at a
Speaker 1: messy bed in closet. Wow, your roommate's a pig, Julie
Speaker 1: awkwardly laughs, that's her side.
Speaker 3: Oh you're the pig. Oh you're the pig.
Speaker 2: It's so funny too.
Speaker 1: Corey begins to sit down on the other bed and
Speaker 1: Julie stops him. Her roommate Mary Beth will have a cow.
Speaker 1: She's a total neat freak. Eric assumes she must be
Speaker 1: okay with them staying there, and Julie says no, but
Speaker 1: mary Beth's always at her boyfriend's place, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Then Sean continues to know everything that's about to happen,
Speaker 1: saying with Julie he's the quarterback of the football team,
Speaker 1: as they both pretend to throw a football.
Speaker 3: A gosh, it's good and the way you're saying it
Speaker 3: like you know.
Speaker 5: So great.
Speaker 3: Corey has had enough. This dream thing is getting eerie.
Speaker 1: Eric suggests to Julie that they should win surf around campus.
Speaker 1: Eric tells the boys have fun, don't touch anything, and
Speaker 1: stay away from me now alone. Sean asks Torry why
Speaker 1: he's sowed down in the mouth. They're in a sorority
Speaker 1: and surrounded by women. Cory pouts, surrounded by women except
Speaker 1: for the one who should be here, And I did
Speaker 1: think in this moment, what was the plan exactly with Tapanga. Here,
Speaker 1: Eric is going to be staying in Julie's and where
Speaker 1: is everyone gonna be?
Speaker 5: So okay, So apparently in college it's normal.
Speaker 4: To have sex in a group, like like if you
Speaker 4: have roommates, sometimes you're you're guys are each with people
Speaker 4: in the same bed, which to me is just ah,
Speaker 4: like you're in separate beds, but you're cam do I know,
Speaker 4: very creepy.
Speaker 3: So Sean would have been on the floor.
Speaker 5: Okay, so there you go. Okay, yeah, so I guess
Speaker 5: that Sean would have been on the floor.
Speaker 3: It's sure, guys, you have sure. Sure.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I can get past the roommate
Speaker 1: situation if I'm Noteen twenty two, it's my bed. We're
Speaker 1: just gonna pretend that there's a wall in between us,
Speaker 1: even though, and we're probably gonna try to be somewhat
Speaker 1: polite to each other. If not, you know, maybe try
Speaker 1: to keep it down a little bit. But now Corey
Speaker 1: and Topanga are gonna be on the floor of this place,
Speaker 1: and Eric is going to be with Julie, and Sean.
Speaker 8: Is going to be Sean camera And this was like
Speaker 8: the camera I mean, ever happened to Danielle.
Speaker 4: I mean this is very teenage nineties, teenage, maybe not
Speaker 4: teenage now, but that was what it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you.
Speaker 5: Know, wow, I'm sorry you've been in rooms where multiple
Speaker 5: people are having sex at the same time.
Speaker 1: By multiple you mean two people to four people, to
Speaker 1: two couples.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just saying.
Speaker 4: It's like, yes, I'm saying like there were, there were
Speaker 4: oftentimes when people like in college, especially yes, because you
Speaker 4: have roommate situations, but also like there'd be like you're
Speaker 4: at a party and you only have like one room
Speaker 4: where somebody you know, or there's only the bathroom, and
Speaker 4: so yes, like people pair off and like hook up corners,
Speaker 4: corners and yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm just again back to Corey and Tapanga that like Topanga,
Speaker 1: anyone who knows Tapanga would I'm surprised that Tapanga was like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I'm I'm not going to sleep on
Speaker 1: the floor two girls I don't know, while your brother
Speaker 1: is there for a girl he's dating. Like that just
Speaker 1: all all of that feels like Topanga was like, I'm
Speaker 1: ready to go with this weekend, like of course, to
Speaker 1: Panga's not there, it just seems so obvious.
Speaker 3: That's another question. I had.
Speaker 5: Do you think I think they set it up where
Speaker 5: Eric and the girl are just friends, right?
Speaker 4: Were they dating because they like kiss on the cheek? Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think you're interested.
Speaker 1: I think maybe there's the potential for a relationship there
Speaker 1: and that you guys are already dating.
Speaker 4: That they're just ding it up with her. It was like,
Speaker 4: oh wow, a girl on their show. That's just kind
Speaker 4: of like showing him around. And they're just cool with
Speaker 4: each other.
Speaker 1: And they didn't know each other from Penbrook, which is
Speaker 1: good because she mentions that she went there.
Speaker 4: He doesn't have to talk about oh hot she is, Like,
Speaker 4: it was nice to just see like a nice character
Speaker 4: and she alsobered the thing that was funny.
Speaker 5: And I could be wrong, but I'd love to talk
Speaker 5: to Sherman about this. They wrote her like a female Eric. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so it seemed to me like she was That's why
Speaker 5: their Buddies was exact exactly.
Speaker 3: She was Eric really smartly, So.
Speaker 5: That's kind of what I thought that what they were
Speaker 5: going for. I also, for the record, remember her being
Speaker 5: incredibly nice and really easy to work with. Yeah, just
Speaker 5: to say about the actress, she was really cool.
Speaker 1: Well then on cue the door opens and presumably it's
Speaker 1: Mary Beth, the OCD roomy, who also looks like Hayley Williams,
Speaker 1: the lead singer of Paramour.
Speaker 3: She looks at the boys, doesn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she does.
Speaker 3: She's my rock star crush.
Speaker 1: Oh she's so cool. Yeah, she looks at the boys. Well,
Speaker 1: this is cute. Sean takes it as a compliment and
Speaker 1: tries to enter do himself, but she proceeds to scream
Speaker 1: from missus Bluteman. Corey tries to stop her. His brother
Speaker 1: is friends with her roommate. The girl sarcastically says, oh,
Speaker 1: well that's different, then shouts boys, many boys the German house.
Speaker 1: Mom yells back, no boys. Corey tries to cover in
Speaker 1: a girly voice.
Speaker 3: Missus Blueman.
Speaker 1: They must have climbed out the window, and then he
Speaker 1: slams the door shut and.
Speaker 3: Problem solve, problem solve. That's it. Back in the room.
Speaker 3: We are back in. I would have loved a little
Speaker 3: more farcical.
Speaker 1: Like hi, I did do but right, Yeah, if you
Speaker 1: thought we were already out of time, wait till add
Speaker 1: some farcical hallway hijinks. Corey wants to know why is
Speaker 1: Mary Beth doing this? They're invited guests, Shawn adds, and
Speaker 1: I love you, which I also loved because it's just
Speaker 1: so it wasn't read like you were sincere about it.
Speaker 1: It was just really, I'm trying something here, and they
Speaker 1: thought it was so well done. And I love you?
Speaker 3: Does that help us? And I love you?
Speaker 4: She was good episode for me. It just felt disconnected.
Speaker 4: But now that I'm you know, hearing all.
Speaker 1: The jokes like these are really good jokes, so funny,
Speaker 1: and you're delivering them perfectly, like they're really well delivered.
Speaker 1: So she has had enough? Why are they still here?
Speaker 1: Corey senses some sort of attitude. Mary Beth asks his name,
Speaker 1: to which Corey responds in his best menacing tone, trouble.
Speaker 1: Mary Beth isn't amused. All guys are trouble. Sean explains
Speaker 1: to Corey she just broke up with her boyfriend. Mary
Speaker 1: Beth asks how he knew that, and he announces, I
Speaker 1: dreamed it. Miss birthmark on her.
Speaker 4: Tis birthmark on her TUIs.
Speaker 1: And she grabs her butt. An acts a little offended. Again,
Speaker 1: very funny joke. Corey apologizes they'll be out of her
Speaker 1: way soon. She smiles and senses that Corey is a
Speaker 1: sensitive guy. He shrugs. Yeah, well I wear a lot
Speaker 1: of light colors, so Mary Beth smiles seductively at him.
Speaker 3: Such a funny joke, I know, yeah, and this is
Speaker 3: this is yeah. I mean, I did enjoy this episode
Speaker 3: a lot, but.
Speaker 7: Uh I I.
Speaker 4: This is like the only explanation for why she's essentially
Speaker 4: spends the rest of the episode throwing herself at Corey,
Speaker 4: and I like, I think we could have done a
Speaker 4: little more work to like set up that Corey says
Speaker 4: or does something, but this is it. This one line
Speaker 4: you're a sensitive guy is like doing a lot of work.
Speaker 1: And Corey is so funny he very easily could It
Speaker 1: could be his humor of her. Yes, that that she's
Speaker 1: always like I like that, I like that, and a guy, there's.
Speaker 3: No sense of journey.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: If she was like, oh my god, the fact that
Speaker 4: you just said that light colors thing is hysterical and
Speaker 4: I find that funny. But instead it's like.
Speaker 3: No, I'm just gonna throw myself at you now for the.
Speaker 4: Rest she ever read it like like it didn't matter
Speaker 4: who he was, She's going to get back at her boyfriend.
Speaker 4: She would Sean, I know if it didn't matter, because
Speaker 4: Seans ready to go. He's already said I love you,
Speaker 4: and she's like, I guess that's true. Yeah, And and
Speaker 4: so they have to sort of a moment where she's
Speaker 4: more attracted to Corey, which totally makes sense.
Speaker 3: But this is it. This is literally the end of it.
Speaker 3: After this, there's no more, there's no it's just on
Speaker 3: a mission to screw and it's like, who I.
Speaker 1: Mean, it is a little bit of a trope to
Speaker 1: have this like jilted woman become very focused on I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get over it. I'm gonna get over it by
Speaker 1: getting under someone else.
Speaker 3: Like, there is that trope, But they did try to
Speaker 3: make it.
Speaker 1: You're right, because if it were just I'm going to
Speaker 1: get over it by screwing somebody, it could have been shown.
Speaker 2: And she very much does not watch Sean.
Speaker 1: So even the fact that every time then Corey tries
Speaker 1: to get out of it, he does another funny or
Speaker 1: clever thing that only makes her more attracted to him
Speaker 1: would have gone a long way.
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is it.
Speaker 5: Direct did get over it by getting under somebody else.
Speaker 3: Did you make that up? Or is that a thing?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: People say that get you get over I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the only way to get over somebody is to get
Speaker 1: under somebody else.
Speaker 3: Okay, well there you go. Well here here, we're coming
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh my god, I can't wait. So Corey is
Speaker 1: starting to catch on. He pulls Sean away and you
Speaker 1: are both breaking here it is so this is what
Speaker 1: was going on.
Speaker 3: Okay. So I've talked about this, I think at live shows.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever talked about it on
Speaker 3: the podcast.
Speaker 4: But you know, Ben's humor is so based on audio
Speaker 4: and like and the quality of words and the sounds
Speaker 4: and sound effects and like sort of how people say things,
Speaker 4: and and he.
Speaker 3: Would get locked into in jokes.
Speaker 4: He would always have in jokes with literally every single person,
Speaker 4: every crewmember, every cast. He would have one word that
Speaker 4: he would say that the way he said it would
Speaker 4: make you lose it. And it was always just one
Speaker 4: of the funniest things. And Ben and I over the
Speaker 4: years built up a pantheon of these.
Speaker 3: References and repertoires.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, and this was one of the most
Speaker 4: legendary h So, and now I see why it's so great,
Speaker 4: because this what we really what he's doing here, and
Speaker 4: he doesn't actually do.
Speaker 3: It, but what he had been doing all week. He
Speaker 3: barely does it, but what he had been doing all
Speaker 3: week was he Ben used to take the tonal interpretation
Speaker 3: of lines in movies that we knew and insert the
Speaker 3: reading into a different line that we actually had to
Speaker 3: say on the script. So let me explain what I mean.
Speaker 3: So in the movie teen Wolf, team we talked and
Speaker 3: the reason we were doing teen Wolf was because so we.
Speaker 4: Have been obviously talking teen Wolf NonStop. And so there's
Speaker 4: a character in Teenwolf who as a coach or the
Speaker 4: drama teacher, and the drama teacher has this amazing line.
Speaker 3: Where Michael J.
Speaker 4: Fox walks on he's refusing to be the werewolf near
Speaker 4: the end of the movie when he's decided to embrace
Speaker 4: his humanity and the drama teacher is going to kick
Speaker 4: him out of the show, and.
Speaker 3: He goes, ah, how do I put this?
Speaker 4: No no no Wolf, no Wolf, no one, no part.
Speaker 4: And we always just thought it was so brilliant because
Speaker 4: the guy he swallows it, and the way he's sort
Speaker 4: of like, uh, you know, because the way it's written
Speaker 4: is like no Wolf, no part, kid, and he decides
Speaker 4: to like make it this like very and Ben and
Speaker 4: I would quote it and thought it was hysterical, So
Speaker 4: then Ben started saying, whatever this line is, God, I
Speaker 4: should have written it, Dowain.
Speaker 3: It was like it was me. It was was it
Speaker 3: me too? MEAs recurring dream.
Speaker 1: What happens next, Sean recalls, I'm left alone with this
Speaker 1: beautiful sorority girl who just got dumb, who just got
Speaker 1: dumb by her boyfriend. She's not too fond of men
Speaker 1: at the moment, so she reeks havoc on me emotionally
Speaker 1: and physically.
Speaker 3: And then what is Ben's what does coursay?
Speaker 1: Then Corey tells Sean, there's something that's not quite meshing
Speaker 1: with a dreams.
Speaker 4: It was mesh mesh, so he all along would say, Sean, Sean,
Speaker 4: there's something that's not quite mesh mesh mesh. And he
Speaker 4: would so he inserted, and it was something he would
Speaker 4: do with run throughs. He would do it in front
Speaker 4: and nobody knew what he was doing. Now he's signaling
Speaker 4: to me you except for me, so I would be losing.
Speaker 3: So you can see in anticipation of this moment coming,
Speaker 3: and I'm sitting here basically daring him, You're not gonna
Speaker 3: do it. The cameras recording and we're taking.
Speaker 4: Oh, I know he already had, which is why I
Speaker 4: was already losing it because this is probably take two.
Speaker 4: So yes, this is the brakesmanship of me and Ben
Speaker 4: trying to make each other laugh, and they left it
Speaker 4: because there probably wasn't a take where we are not
Speaker 4: losing it. So yes, this is Ben Savage doing his
Speaker 4: teen Wolf tone line insertion on our dials. Tosh mesh mesh.
Speaker 3: Oh, there's so many instances of this throughout our history,
Speaker 3: but this was like the I mean, yeah, I'll never
Speaker 3: forget it.
Speaker 4: And when I saw me start to laugh, and that's
Speaker 4: all I remembered about this episode.
Speaker 3: So much.
Speaker 5: I literally had to and explain everything you just said
Speaker 5: to Sue. It was like, okay, so this scene in
Speaker 5: teen Wolf, like we're doing the entire thing and it's
Speaker 5: so obvious. Yeah, well the other thing we do remember
Speaker 5: somebody on stage and go excuse me, wolf Wolf wolfs.
Speaker 3: No mesh mesh, no park crushing with this stream.
Speaker 1: It is so funny, so fun to watch. So the
Speaker 1: sorority girl in question is staring at Cory. They both
Speaker 1: look at her and realize it's true Mary Beth is
Speaker 1: And then we are in the wreck room, which looks like.
Speaker 8: Windows Come back, kiddy.
Speaker 1: There's candy, it's a party, there's pinball, arcade games.
Speaker 3: There are no cult leaders in mock turtlenecks.
Speaker 4: No still Garrett and and beer the first time ever,
Speaker 4: they're drinking beers.
Speaker 2: And your parents boy meets world.
Speaker 4: Why there's a guy in the pool table with a
Speaker 4: pool ball up? What did you not notice this?
Speaker 5: As they panned by, there's a guy passed out on
Speaker 5: the pool table and there's a red pool ball shoved
Speaker 5: right in his cheeks.
Speaker 4: Wow. Yes, that's quite a job for an extra. Somebody
Speaker 4: put them Did you tell an extra get a table?
Speaker 4: And ye?
Speaker 3: My question is did you have to call that shot?
Speaker 3: Thank you very much? But yeah, amazing, just right there.
Speaker 1: Well, Eric lists all the things he and Julie have
Speaker 1: done so far. They've water skied, snorkeled, and played beach volleyball.
Speaker 1: They've apparently changed right back into their clothes from before
Speaker 1: and done your hair again.
Speaker 3: Of course, had to do that.
Speaker 5: We did everything back in a giant boxy square shirt
Speaker 5: and on with the rest of the day.
Speaker 1: Eric wants to see where the actual learning takes place.
Speaker 1: Julie suggests they check out the lab where doctor Halberstram
Speaker 1: won the Nobel Prize for his cloning experiments. Eric looks
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised, and Julie, Elle's just kidding. Doctor Halberstram's a walrus.
Speaker 3: I don't get this at all. I didn't. I don't
Speaker 3: understand what's happening.
Speaker 5: I think what it's the joke is that it's like
Speaker 5: a mascot of the school that they called doctor Alberstrand.
Speaker 5: And it turns out it's literally just a walrus. Like
Speaker 5: nothing's ever happened at Beach State worth anything, because essentially, I.
Speaker 1: Think, I mean also a beach near the water type
Speaker 1: school might have some sort of animal.
Speaker 3: Actual you know, actual wall and.
Speaker 2: They call the wall and the doctor the Wallers. His
Speaker 2: name is doctor.
Speaker 3: Arberstram, Right, that's my guess.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh so.
Speaker 1: Eric hopes there's more to this college than just the beach,
Speaker 1: but Julie doesn't understand what the problem is. She thinks,
Speaker 1: after all the hard work they put in it, John Adams,
Speaker 1: this is their reward. But Eric's been out in the
Speaker 1: real world for a year now and he knows it
Speaker 1: takes more than a good tan to make it out there.
Speaker 1: Julie reminds him the real world is four years away.
Speaker 1: She begins to play frisbee as Eric looks around the
Speaker 1: room and utter disappointment. And this is where we see
Speaker 1: a passed out dude holding a beer and a couple
Speaker 1: who are making out with each other's necks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can also tell it to beer because the
Speaker 5: label says beer beer.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's all my favorite brand of beer, doctor beer.
Speaker 1: I like just no, just beer, just beer. Yeah, beer incursive.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think it would be a great brand. Somebody
Speaker 3: just did it. Beer like literally just says beer. I
Speaker 3: bet you that would be like hipsteris everywhere would love it.
Speaker 3: They'd just be like, what are you drinking beer? Beer? Beer? Yeah.
Speaker 3: So then we're back in the sorority room.
Speaker 2: Mary Beth is yelling into her phone, so you.
Speaker 3: Want your things back now.
Speaker 1: She starts to throw CDs, a television set, Blockbuster video
Speaker 1: cases and stories sleeping that light out the window.
Speaker 3: The lightest television set in the history of the world.
Speaker 4: Just it was those things weigh a lot. Yeah, yes
Speaker 4: they did. Even the old TVs with the big giant.
Speaker 5: Battle ones, even the little ones had more weight than
Speaker 5: her going hup, Yeah, that was the world's lightest TV.
Speaker 1: Well, Sean whispers to Corey, they need to get out
Speaker 1: of here. This woman is out of sorts. In my dream,
Speaker 1: this is the part where she turns around and the
Speaker 1: first guy she sees she traps in her evil man
Speaker 1: hating web of vengeful sexuality. And then that's also where
Speaker 1: you are very close to breaking again. You're just barely
Speaker 1: keeping it together. He turns around to Mary Beth, flips
Speaker 1: his collar up and flirts, but she simply tells him
Speaker 1: to get out. He obliges without question, and Corey isn't
Speaker 1: far behind.
Speaker 2: But she stops him.
Speaker 1: I want you to stay because you're a sensitive guy
Speaker 1: and I want to talk to you. Corey says okay,
Speaker 1: but only for a minute. Mary Beth breaks down and
Speaker 1: shares her broken heart with Corey. He tries consoling her.
Speaker 1: His girlfriend is supposed to be with him, but she bailed.
Speaker 1: They rile each other up and agree that relationships are
Speaker 1: too complicated. She shouts I'm through with men, and Corey agrees,
Speaker 1: me too, Me too, And then Mary Beth walks out
Speaker 1: of her bathroom wearing only an oversized football jersey and
Speaker 1: asks Corey if he wants to party.
Speaker 5: I think writer's going to say exactly the same thing.
Speaker 3: I'm please, please don't. I have two things about the
Speaker 3: shot over the shoulder shot from oh oh yeah, oh
Speaker 3: all right, what were you going to say?
Speaker 5: Well, no, mine is about why get into something sexy
Speaker 5: to then later just take a shower to get into
Speaker 5: something sexy.
Speaker 3: He got to keep it going manly.
Speaker 4: She's at it, changes happen, well goes to show that
Speaker 4: there's no progression to this character, like now, this is
Speaker 4: where this is an opportunity for like, you know, even
Speaker 4: even right now, like Corey, instead of just chasing after
Speaker 4: Sean could have said something like you know, before I
Speaker 4: go and delivered something that was a sensitive guy thing
Speaker 4: to say that.
Speaker 3: Then she's like please stay and it's like okay. But
Speaker 3: instead it's just like seduction. You know, it's very one dimensional.
Speaker 3: I've never met this guy. But you could do way better,
Speaker 3: just something as simple as that and just or just
Speaker 3: develop her character from here on out. She is sex kitten,
Speaker 3: but it's also a weird sex kitten. She goes because
Speaker 3: I got to keep something sixxy to then later go
Speaker 3: and get dressed into something sexy.
Speaker 4: So when when this shot, which you know, kudos Jeff
Speaker 4: mccrackett is a graduate reference.
Speaker 3: You know, it's the famous like leg and I love that.
Speaker 4: And then also the music does this boom boom, and
Speaker 4: I was like oh, and.
Speaker 3: I had to pause it. I was like, Alex, Alex,
Speaker 3: what's the movie with Michael J. Fox where he's in
Speaker 3: the limo? Do you know where I'm going with this
Speaker 3: Seaking to My Success?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: And you remember the song? No it goes, I remember
Speaker 3: the secret And then that whole scene is cut to.
Speaker 3: I've looked it up.
Speaker 4: It's oh yeah by Yellow, which is boom boom. And
Speaker 4: then so I was and Alex is like, no, that's
Speaker 4: Ferris Bueller's. I'm like, it's junk Don't get your Car,
Speaker 4: that's Ferris Bueler.
Speaker 3: That's the same one.
Speaker 6: Don't don't.
Speaker 3: Oh it's the same song.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So that's what Like my wife and I were like
Speaker 3: at a screaming match. I'm like, you know, it's Secret
Speaker 3: to My Success. She's like, it's Ferris Bueller. So like, oh,
Speaker 3: they can't. They didn't. This movies came out within like
Speaker 3: a year of each other. They didn't use the same song.
Speaker 4: They used the same song, and so here this like
Speaker 4: you could hear the the ray Colcord music beat. There's
Speaker 4: a complete reference to that, like it was like the
Speaker 4: music that just said like sex is coming.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm so glad you guys have knowledge of film
Speaker 1: and TV, because all.
Speaker 3: You've never seen The Secretary Limited. Great movie is a
Speaker 3: great movie?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well it was when I saw it in the
Speaker 5: theater back in the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, right right, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: So then we go to break and we return in
Speaker 1: mary Beth's room. Mary Beth repeats herself, does he want
Speaker 1: a party? Corey tells her, let's be clear of your
Speaker 1: definition of party lest we should send out invites and
Speaker 1: hire a clown, which.
Speaker 2: Wonderful use.
Speaker 1: And again I guess in this case he is making
Speaker 1: a he's making a funny joke.
Speaker 3: But she has never said that.
Speaker 1: She likes sense of humor. So easy to just be like,
Speaker 1: you are so bad, That's what I love about you.
Speaker 1: Mary Beth smirks. Is she making him nervous? He stutters, no, no,
Speaker 1: not if there's going to be a clown, and she whispers,
Speaker 1: no clowns, just you and me. She lights in a
Speaker 1: romatherapy candle and tells Corey to smell it cornbread and
Speaker 1: pine needles. She corrects him. It's actually lang Lang and sandalwood.
Speaker 1: She says that sandalwood helps stimulate them on. Corey nervously
Speaker 1: asks what lang lang stimulates, and she just gives him
Speaker 1: a seductive smile and turns on some jazz. You know,
Speaker 1: the kind of music college kids play to makeout.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sue said the same thing. She's like, did she
Speaker 3: just put on light jazz? Who the hell does that like?
Speaker 4: Ye?
Speaker 3: Apparently wow.
Speaker 2: He apologizes to Mary Beth.
Speaker 1: He can't be here during this, the time of her
Speaker 1: great stimulation.
Speaker 3: He's so good Ben. I agree with you guys are saying.
Speaker 5: But Ben is so good in the just so awkward
Speaker 5: and funny, and he's old school Corey and I I
Speaker 5: love it.
Speaker 1: I know. He opens the door to leave, but Missus
Speaker 1: Bluteman is right outside vacuuming.
Speaker 3: He's stuck.
Speaker 1: He proceeds to tell Mary Beth, I am very flattered,
Speaker 1: but I do have a girlfriend.
Speaker 2: Her name is Tapanga. Mary Beth laughs.
Speaker 3: Is she vacuuming? Or I thought she was?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Mary Beth laughs to Panga, sounds like a freeway exit.
Speaker 1: Corey says he'll prove it.
Speaker 3: He runs over to the phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that it is a freeway anytime. Anyone
Speaker 1: who's ever wondered where did they come up with the name?
Speaker 1: We told you in the show. In this episode, Corey
Speaker 1: says he'll prove it to her and he runs over
Speaker 1: to the phone. He frantically dials to Panga's number.
Speaker 3: But by the way, they don't have freeways on the
Speaker 3: East Coast.
Speaker 5: I didn't want to get too east coast into it.
Speaker 5: But we have highways coast. They're called freeways simply because
Speaker 5: they're free. There's no tolls where we have a lot
Speaker 5: of tolls back east.
Speaker 1: So ms Curtis aka Aunt Prue aka Juliet from Romeo,
Speaker 1: and Juliet answers and Corey asks for Tapanga. She says
Speaker 1: she's not in, but she'll make sure she calls him back,
Speaker 1: but Corey reminds her, I'm on that trip, you know,
Speaker 1: the one you wouldn't let her go on. While Mary
Speaker 1: Beth continuously touches Corey's leg on the other end of
Speaker 1: the phone, Aunt Prue says something that raises a red
Speaker 1: flag for Corey and he doesn't even leave a message
Speaker 1: for Topanga.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: Corey tosses Mary Beth's phone out the window and she yells, hey,
Speaker 1: that was mine.
Speaker 5: After half trying to close the antenna, which is not
Speaker 5: a closable antenna, so just tapping.
Speaker 3: Still, he has that he first he first regular dials
Speaker 3: a plus phone. Acting goes back to, I mean, it's
Speaker 3: like it was locked in his brain when we did
Speaker 3: that betting episode, right, you know, first season that was
Speaker 3: when he did it like four times, and he's trying
Speaker 3: to do it again.
Speaker 5: Oh my, and then tries to close it antenna that
Speaker 5: doesn't close.
Speaker 3: It is so funny.
Speaker 2: So uh.
Speaker 1: Corey tells her love is loss. He can't believe to
Speaker 1: beanga lied to him. She never even told her aunt
Speaker 1: about the trip. Mary Beth breaks the news. Sounds like
Speaker 1: she didn't want to come with you. Corey agrees she
Speaker 1: blamed it on her aunt, but the whole time it
Speaker 1: was him. She didn't want to be alone with Mary
Speaker 1: Beth tells Corey she wants to be alone with him.
Speaker 1: Corey is reluctant. She just broke up with her boyfriend
Speaker 1: and he just got in a fight with his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: They're both very vulnerable, and he doesn't want to do
Speaker 1: anything he's going to regret. Mary Beth continues to pressure
Speaker 1: him if he passes this up, he'll regret it. She
Speaker 1: leans in and hugs him, possibly even nibbling on his ear,
Speaker 1: and that response, I know.
Speaker 3: I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 5: They can't kiss obviously because if they kiss him, kiss
Speaker 5: him right. So it was the weird how do I
Speaker 5: do it? Which then it started with the neck. At
Speaker 5: one point she kisses his nose. It's like.
Speaker 3: His shorts in the preview, but it's like fool on
Speaker 3: going for it. Yeah right, yes, absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1: So Corey in response, repeats the starting lineup for the
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six New York Yankees, starting with first Basement,
Speaker 1: the big Man fielder.
Speaker 3: The big Man's Thistle fielder.
Speaker 1: Mary Beth whispers, I won't tell anyone and kisses Corey's nose.
Speaker 3: Nose. No, I'm going to.
Speaker 1: Take a shower. When she walks away, Corey breathes a
Speaker 1: sigh of relief.
Speaker 2: That was it.
Speaker 1: She responds, not even close. I'll be right back. Don't
Speaker 1: you go anywhere. Corey uses this opportunity to try and
Speaker 1: sneak out of the room again, but missus Blueman is
Speaker 1: still outside now painting the walls, painting.
Speaker 2: Well, that's just crazy.
Speaker 1: And then we go to a tense commercial break, and
Speaker 1: we're back in Marybeth's room. Corey is anxiously sitting on
Speaker 1: mary Beth's bed when she opens the bathroom door and
Speaker 1: reveals she's wearing a silky nightgown and robe aka the
Speaker 1: sexiest thing you're allowed to wear on TGIF.
Speaker 5: Yep, it's so second sexy outfit when Sexy Alphitude.
Speaker 3: It's more covered than the last sexy. Like the last
Speaker 3: sexy off it was like basically I'm nature from the
Speaker 3: waist down or in my underwear at least, and now
Speaker 3: it's up.
Speaker 5: At one point and the thing races up and I
Speaker 5: was like, oh yeh, that's it's very racy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Corey stands up, Oh boy, look at you. She asks
Speaker 1: if he likes the way she looks, and he says yes,
Speaker 1: but he encourages her not to come any closer. Mary
Speaker 1: Beth doesn't oblige, and Corey even tries playing red light
Speaker 1: with her as she approaches, but nothing is.
Speaker 5: Working that moment, I thought that was just so funny,
Speaker 5: red light through red lights.
Speaker 1: Crazy, but nothing is working. Corey says she's just going
Speaker 1: to lose the game now, but she pushes him onto
Speaker 1: the bed and says no, they're both going to win.
Speaker 1: Corey tells her he can counter that move because he's
Speaker 1: on the wrestling team. She prevents him from getting up.
Speaker 1: She's on the wrestling team too, Thankfully, At the perfect time,
Speaker 1: Eric walks in. He sees Mary Beth with a boy
Speaker 1: on the bed and exclaims, oh, sorry, have you seen
Speaker 1: my brother? And then from under her, Corey raises his hand.
Speaker 1: Eric seems disappointed. Okay, well, I'll just get a few
Speaker 1: things and be on my way, like you seem to be.
Speaker 1: Corey assured him, this isn't what it looks like. He
Speaker 1: sarcastically responds, I know you were just wrestling, so funny.
Speaker 1: I love the way you delivered wrestling, just wrestling. And
Speaker 1: this is where when I watched the scene over again,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, he makes the decision to get
Speaker 1: a few things because of Corey and Mary Beth, not because.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's not my business. So I'm going to get
Speaker 5: out of the way.
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you.
Speaker 3: His decision. It's because I say that to him. It's like,
Speaker 3: you're an adult.
Speaker 5: This is if this is what you want to do,
Speaker 5: I will clear out of the room, right Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Mary Beth still has her hands all over
Speaker 1: Corey and he says, please, my brother is here. She says,
Speaker 1: that's fine, and now we know she's really freaky Dicky,
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: That's fine? Like it was Eric going to watch what? What?
Speaker 3: What the hell is going on? Is down with the bros? No,
Speaker 3: you just in college. Don't like you're making a resident groupert.
Speaker 3: It's it's you don't have anyone. Oh my god.
Speaker 4: You guys seriously never made out with somebody like on
Speaker 4: a couch where other people were in.
Speaker 3: The room, and when you were teenagers or in college.
Speaker 5: To keep it, I mean, probably, but also to keep
Speaker 5: in mind, I've had my own place since I was
Speaker 5: sixteen exactly, so when.
Speaker 3: You're it's back then. I mean I remember cars. People
Speaker 3: would be making out in the front seat. People would
Speaker 3: be making it on the back seat, like you just
Speaker 3: made it. You just you know, I guess making out. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I guess making out is one thing.
Speaker 2: Hold up you basically she's not trying to make out.
Speaker 3: No, she straight went for Corey's junk at one point.
Speaker 6: So yeah.
Speaker 1: Cory asks Mary Beth to give the boys a few
Speaker 1: minutes alone, and she finally obliges, but says she'll be back,
Speaker 1: like she's a horned up terminator now alone. Corey tries
Speaker 1: to explain himself, I know what you're going to say.
Speaker 1: Eric says, no, he doesn't.
Speaker 3: She goes to get her laundry, but she.
Speaker 2: Says she's going to be back.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's just a very bizarre reason to get her out
Speaker 4: of the seat, like just get her, just gotta get laundry.
Speaker 3: I'll be back.
Speaker 1: Well, she doesn't say she needs she says. He says,
Speaker 1: please give us a few minutes alone, and she goes
Speaker 1: get my laundry, but I'll be.
Speaker 3: Ok she's not like when you said that.
Speaker 1: I was like, what why I don't give them out
Speaker 1: of the dryer?
Speaker 3: People are going to put stuff in. Give me a yes, Corey.
Speaker 1: Says, can you please give us a few minutes, And
Speaker 1: she's like, Okay, fine, I'll go get my laundry, but
Speaker 1: I'm going to come back.
Speaker 2: But I'll be back. It's just to hear what I said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just so easily could have come.
Speaker 2: What it's what with the I don't know.
Speaker 3: Like just setting Corey into this temptation like moment. It's
Speaker 3: just so forced.
Speaker 4: Because it's like he can't just say I'm not going
Speaker 4: to have sex with you or I'm not interested in
Speaker 4: sleeping with you. Uh, you know, but he can just
Speaker 4: say I need to talk to my brother and she's like, okay, cool,
Speaker 4: I'll see you later, you know, right right?
Speaker 1: Because she why does she accept just I need to talk. Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's because it's just if he were to
Speaker 1: say I'm not doing this, that's the final answer, and
Speaker 1: she's not willing to accept that. So everything she's doing
Speaker 1: is if you need a few minutes, that's fine, but
Speaker 1: I'm coming back. So the only reason she's willing to
Speaker 1: walk away is because she goes, Okay, I'll go get
Speaker 1: my laundry, but I'm coming back. So that's the only
Speaker 1: reason she's like accepting any of this.
Speaker 2: So uh.
Speaker 1: Eric says, no, he doesn't, but Corey explains nothing was
Speaker 1: going to happen. Eric says Corey doesn't have to answer
Speaker 1: to him, and he heads toward the door with his
Speaker 1: sleeping bag. Corey asks his brother, did you know Tapanga.
Speaker 3: Lied to me?
Speaker 2: Eric is in swayed. Oh, then she had this coming,
Speaker 2: and Mary.
Speaker 1: Beth is beautiful and she's here, and no one's ever
Speaker 1: going to know about it except for Mary Beth and you.
Speaker 1: Corey's still arguing Tapanga and him had this whole weekend
Speaker 1: planned out. Why didn't she want to go with him?
Speaker 1: Eric keeps laying into him. Tomorrow mary Beth will be gone,
Speaker 1: and so well, sixteen years of a great relationship with
Speaker 1: somebody you really care about.
Speaker 4: Somebody you sixteen years of non sixteen years again, never never, never,
Speaker 4: haven't smoked for sixteen years?
Speaker 3: It's a great Yeah, who hasn't smoked for sixteen years?
Speaker 4: When we did the episode where Corey claimed and long
Speaker 4: Long walk to Pittsburgh, Corey claimed that he had been
Speaker 4: in love with her for sixteen years, and you, guys,
Speaker 4: I think it was you made the comparison of like, yeah,
Speaker 4: you also haven't smoked for sixteen years. It's like that
Speaker 4: not an accomplishment to have been a human being, like
Speaker 4: as a kid, It's not that big.
Speaker 1: Of a yeah, yeah, somebody you love, somebody who's worth waiting for.
Speaker 1: Eric says Corey needs to walk away from these kinds
Speaker 1: of opportunities, even if they seem great and wonderful in
Speaker 1: the moment. But ultimately it's Corey's decision, and he knows
Speaker 1: what's best for him. Eric excuses himself he needs to
Speaker 1: meet Julie and her study group for jet skiing. So
Speaker 1: this is then where I was like, Oh, so he
Speaker 1: wasn't leaving school at all, and he came to look
Speaker 1: for Corey to invite him to go jet skiing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Corey says Eric deserves better too. If Eric goes to
Speaker 1: Beach State, he'll feel good for a day and then
Speaker 1: he won't. Eric deserves to go to a place that's
Speaker 1: worth all the effort. He encourages his brother to go
Speaker 1: to Penbrook. Eric reveals he never even went to the interview.
Speaker 1: He got scared because it seemed hard. But Beach State
Speaker 1: is a sure thing. How can he walk away from
Speaker 1: a sure thing? Perfectly timed, Mary Beth walks back in
Speaker 1: the room. She looks at Corey. What's it gonna be?
Speaker 1: Corey answers, I have to tell you something. I love
Speaker 1: my girlfriend. He looks back at Eric and says like that.
Speaker 1: Eric tells Corey let's go. Mary Beth and Corey exchange
Speaker 1: a little look in a soft smile, and then he's gone.
Speaker 1: Just then, we see ladder appear outside of mary Beth's window.
Speaker 3: It's Sean.
Speaker 1: He's carrying the TV, said she threw out earlier. Hey,
Speaker 1: look you what I found. She takes the TV from
Speaker 1: him and pushes the ladder away, with Sean still on it.
Speaker 1: How may be dead, He may be dead. I had
Speaker 1: no idea.
Speaker 3: My god, the very danger. Yes, my god, I you know.
Speaker 4: Sherman talked a little bit about Eric as the wise
Speaker 4: like character for Corey, and I love that in this like.
Speaker 4: I love seeing Eric very smart with his yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: full of confidence and able to give advice.
Speaker 3: It's a cool cool.
Speaker 5: Well, maybe that is what they were going for, is
Speaker 5: that Eric can see it, can give advice to other people,
Speaker 5: but he can't see it in himself.
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe that's what it was.
Speaker 3: And that has been the thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's so interesting that his all of his intelligence
Speaker 1: seems to be in relationships and emotional intelligence and all
Speaker 1: of that, and yet is the only one.
Speaker 2: On the show who never ends up having a serious
Speaker 2: relationship himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so at seeing it and you know, protecting it
Speaker 1: for his friends his family, but never gets it fro himself.
Speaker 1: Well then we are at Penbrook. Eric is wearing a tie.
Speaker 1: It's no Turner tie. Rest in peace. He's standing in
Speaker 1: an academic office across from new character alert Bonnie Bartlett,
Speaker 1: who states, I'm sorry, but your interview was two days ago.
Speaker 1: You didn't show up. You didn't even notify us. She
Speaker 1: has other applicants who were responsible enough to show up
Speaker 1: at their scheduled time. Eric admits he was scared, but
Speaker 1: she doesn't care to listen to excuses. Eric pleads, it's
Speaker 1: not an excuse, it's how I felt. He's still scared,
Speaker 1: but he's determined to make sure he goes to the
Speaker 1: right school. She asks him why he thinks this is
Speaker 1: the right school for him, and he tells her that
Speaker 1: other people say he has potential, and now he's finally
Speaker 1: starting to believe them. That's why he needs Penbrook. She
Speaker 1: says he had his chance, but Eric won't take no
Speaker 1: for an answer. He quickly stands so fast you can
Speaker 1: see the boom mic quickly.
Speaker 3: Jumping out.
Speaker 1: The twos and says Penbrook is his chance. He demands
Speaker 1: that he get his interview, and she remarks, well, I
Speaker 1: think you just had it.
Speaker 5: Can we talk very, very very very quickly about how
Speaker 5: stunning Bonnie looks on camera? I know, I mean she
Speaker 5: the camera just there are some people they say the
Speaker 5: camera loves them.
Speaker 3: She is one of those people. She just shines on camera.
Speaker 3: It's amazing.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 1: Well, then we're in the Matthews living room, Corey in
Speaker 1: a sweater vest, wearing tapanga or sitting on the couch
Speaker 1: and their shoes. When Corey says, you lied to me,
Speaker 1: she nods, I was just worried about being alone with
Speaker 1: you overnight. Corey tells her she should have said something.
Speaker 1: She could have told him how she felt. When did
Speaker 1: you ever say no to me that I didn't listen?
Speaker 1: When did you ever worry about being alone with me?
Speaker 1: She admits, never, I was worried about me. I was
Speaker 1: worried about what I might do alone with you and
Speaker 1: the beach and the moon. I know I'm not ready yet.
Speaker 1: It's also what she would say if she were a werewolf.
Speaker 3: Just, oh my god, is that what it is?
Speaker 5: I never watched Gomi's World. Was that one of the twists? Okay, good,
Speaker 5: no idea what happens on that show? So I didn't
Speaker 5: know if it could be about a werewolf.
Speaker 4: You make the joke, but that is literally the plot
Speaker 4: line of season two with Corey, right, he thinks he's
Speaker 4: going to.
Speaker 3: Be a were wolf. So their first kiss was aware.
Speaker 3: The second kiss was because he was afraid he was
Speaker 3: gonna You're.
Speaker 1: Right, Corey assureser, I know things are going to happen
Speaker 1: between us when they're supposed to happen, and I know
Speaker 1: I'll wait until they do. She asks how he knows,
Speaker 1: and he answers the best things in life are worth
Speaker 1: waiting for. She feels the same way about him. She
Speaker 1: leans into.
Speaker 5: Yeah, dun dun dun doune done done.
Speaker 1: You know, basically, every time Corey is alone away from Tobago,
Speaker 1: someone is is. There's just a possibility that it's happening,
Speaker 1: and you know.
Speaker 5: This is.
Speaker 3: You just don't understand it.
Speaker 4: You don't get it because I mean, yes, I want
Speaker 4: to put my penis in other people, but this is
Speaker 4: this is the universe, this is this is it.
Speaker 3: You know, you're a very sexy boy, Corey.
Speaker 2: Corey is surprised.
Speaker 3: He can't wait to.
Speaker 1: Tell Seanean and then we have the tag We're in
Speaker 1: the Matthew's kitchen.
Speaker 3: Your face did you see that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I know, You're just like, that's weird. That's such a
Speaker 3: good reaction.
Speaker 1: The whole family, plus Foene, Sean, and Tapanga gather around
Speaker 1: Eric as he holds his letter from Penbrook. He can't
Speaker 1: open it. He's too scared. He gives Corey the letter,
Speaker 1: who frantically tears it open. Corey reads it to himself.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh boy, this is bad. Eric's panicking, and
Speaker 1: Phoene reminds him that Dean Bolander is a tough cookie.
Speaker 2: Eric asks how he knows her in.
Speaker 1: Phoene size, she's been after me for years.
Speaker 3: Great joke.
Speaker 1: Sean's now looking at the letter, he says, it just
Speaker 1: getting worse. Eric screams, just tell me. Corey gives in.
Speaker 1: First of all, they're charging an arm in a leg
Speaker 1: to Panga Ads and they want you there like a
Speaker 1: week before Labor Day for some kind of orientation deal.
Speaker 1: Eric shouts, I'm in, I'm in. Alan gives him a
Speaker 1: huge hug, and the audience lets out a roaring applause.
Speaker 1: Everyone continues to hug Eric, and finally Feoene gives him
Speaker 1: a huge hug and Eric smiles, Thank you, mister Feenie,
Speaker 1: thank you for everything.
Speaker 4: This is amazing to watch because I'm like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: The end of season three was Eric not getting into college,
Speaker 4: right like, they're getting that letter and that dramatic and
Speaker 4: then the beginning of the season is you on the
Speaker 4: road trip, and that your whole storyline about whether you're
Speaker 4: going to stay there. I mean, you were like carrying
Speaker 4: the show at this point?
Speaker 3: Did you did you know that? No? No, I did you.
Speaker 4: I Mean we've talked about this, like off Mike, but like,
Speaker 4: it is crazy to me how much I thought that
Speaker 4: we were like small.
Speaker 3: Parts of the Yeah show.
Speaker 4: In retrospect, I'm like, we were the stars of network
Speaker 4: television show and we were carrying. So you never thought
Speaker 4: that always if you had asked me two years ago,
Speaker 4: like were you on boy, me, totally. Yeah, it was
Speaker 4: a small part of it was one of the you know,
Speaker 4: I had some good scenes, I had some good episodes.
Speaker 4: But now I'm like, no, we were like a huge
Speaker 4: like you and I were king guys, so much of
Speaker 4: this together all the time.
Speaker 3: My god, we were together all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Actually, I actually don't think we work together that much,
Speaker 4: but like we've we've been all Eric and Sean have
Speaker 4: been alternating the emotional arc of seasons and multi episodes,
Speaker 4: and it's just like it's mind boggling to me because
Speaker 4: you know, I think it was because partly because you
Speaker 4: and I were splitting the duties. You would have a
Speaker 4: whole week where you wouldn't be doing anything. I would
Speaker 4: have a week where I wouldn't be doing anything. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And so in our minds we just thought of it
Speaker 4: as like, it's Ben's show. We're just kind of here
Speaker 4: episode I've.
Speaker 5: Got one about myself this week, Like that's how I
Speaker 5: would also like, Oh, Eric's got a decent part this week.
Speaker 5: That's always what it was. It was never oh I've
Speaker 5: got the art of the season like that never came
Speaker 5: into my head. So yeah, very strange. Also, I have
Speaker 5: to say when Feenie and Eric hugged, I welled up
Speaker 5: a little bit. My robot heart melted and I felt
Speaker 5: human emotion.
Speaker 3: I didn't like it. I didn't like it, but it
Speaker 3: didn't like the robot having heart like that. Didn't like feeling,
Speaker 3: but it was it was It was nice. It was
Speaker 3: very nice.
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful button on a wonderful season. I can't
Speaker 1: believe I get to say this right now, but our
Speaker 1: next episode recap will be season five, episode one, Brothers,
