Speaker 1: So we have all had our fair share of talk
Speaker 1: show appearances, but Writer apparently has the worst of all
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I've had like four of the worst.
Speaker 2: Oh I've been forced to sing multiple times. I've been
Speaker 2: asked to go Like I showed up at one and
Speaker 2: it was a win a date with your favorite keen actors,
Speaker 2: and I didn't.
Speaker 3: Win a date with Hey.
Speaker 2: It was like three girls were brought in and they
Speaker 2: had to like each ask me questions and.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, how did you not die? Inside writers Hell?
Speaker 4: I know literally Writer's Hell.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, But yeah, no, I think the one you're
Speaker 2: referring to is when I was on Regis and Kathy Lee.
Speaker 2: So I was promoting I think it was my giant
Speaker 2: that the movie I was in, the Billy Crystal movie
Speaker 2: that I had like a small part in, and they
Speaker 2: flew me out to New York to do publicity and
Speaker 2: go to some screening.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it was.
Speaker 2: So I was only seventeen in New York City with
Speaker 2: my friend Nathan at the and like just having a
Speaker 2: great time, and at six am they picked me up
Speaker 2: in a limo to take me and I'm like, I
Speaker 2: mean just based on having had horrible I'm so bad
Speaker 2: at talk shows like, oh, like wait.
Speaker 3: I can see that. Yeah, I love you and I
Speaker 3: can see that. Yeah, oh my god. Billed for the
Speaker 3: talk show, Would you asked me to do Good Morning
Speaker 3: America with you?
Speaker 2: Like way back when you were promoting, I hear voices.
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, I'm gonna do this for Will,
Speaker 2: I'm going to do this. And then I get up
Speaker 2: there and the Good Morning America was the worst thing ever.
Speaker 2: My friend Todd texted me, He's like, you look like
Speaker 2: you were being held hostage, Like because you were, you
Speaker 2: were Will.
Speaker 3: Made me do Good Morning America. Totally.
Speaker 2: There are things I'm good at, Like I'm good at
Speaker 2: Q and a's like, you know, great, like if you
Speaker 2: if it's like I'm up there and doing a Q
Speaker 2: and A, especially if it's about like something I wrote
Speaker 2: or directed, I'm all about it. But just like actory
Speaker 2: talk show appearance is nothing's worth. So anyway, I get
Speaker 2: in the limo for Kathy and and Regius and I'm
Speaker 2: so like just already so nervous, and my publicist who's
Speaker 2: like taking me around New York for all the others
Speaker 2: is sitting in there She's like, Okay, have you heard,
Speaker 2: Like I don't know. She's say, we just found out.
Speaker 2: Kathy Lee found out last night that her husband is
Speaker 2: cheating on her. And it was if you guys, remember
Speaker 2: there was this her husband who was a football player,
Speaker 2: so he was like famous in his own right. He'd
Speaker 2: been having Okay, Frank Giffort, he had been caught having
Speaker 2: an affair. I was on the next morning and they
Speaker 2: were like, basically, they were like, Kathy Lee is doing
Speaker 2: the show. She just she's gonna, you know, not talk
Speaker 2: about it. She is not going to reference it. We
Speaker 2: are acting like everything is normal, and I'm like sweating
Speaker 2: bullets in the limo and they're like, whatever you do,
Speaker 2: do not talk about her family, Do not ask her
Speaker 2: about her children, do not talk about marriage, do not
Speaker 2: talk about dating. I was like, oh my god, oh
Speaker 2: my god, you're just ready to get any moment to
Speaker 2: like ruin this woman's life on national television by saying
Speaker 2: the wrong thing. So I go out there and like
Speaker 2: sure enough, I'm so nervous. If you I'm sure we
Speaker 2: can find the clip. But like my callers all messed up,
Speaker 2: Like I walked out on stage with like my collar
Speaker 2: tucked in under my shirt.
Speaker 3: I'm so awkward.
Speaker 1: It was probably because you had just been having an affair. Exactly,
Speaker 1: you walk out, you go sorry. I wasn't having an
Speaker 1: affair with it. I wasn't having an affair with anybody.
Speaker 3: How's your family? Your kids?
Speaker 5: Oh god?
Speaker 3: Exactly. I look at this poor woman and she is
Speaker 3: puffy caked in makeup.
Speaker 2: Like like you know, you're always wearing a lot of makeup,
Speaker 2: but she is like covered in like clearly just been
Speaker 2: crying all morning and is trying to put on a good.
Speaker 4: Face this morning. She probably hadn't even slept.
Speaker 3: And has to do her talk show.
Speaker 4: It was the I was so tell us about I
Speaker 4: say it.
Speaker 2: No, I think she held it together pretty well, but like,
Speaker 2: of course, the whole audience, like everyone knows it was like.
Speaker 2: And then at one point I brought up somehow, like
Speaker 2: the fact that I had been Leama's robb came up,
Speaker 2: and she was like, that was a very that's a
Speaker 2: very moral story. It's about moral characters doing the right things.
Speaker 2: It's a real morality tale. And I just remember looking
Speaker 2: at her being.
Speaker 3: Like, sure is, miss Kathleen, do you want to talk
Speaker 3: about morality?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, oh god, he stole a loaf of infidelity.
Speaker 4: Wait, I mean read.
Speaker 6: Oh it's so we're laughing, but it's there's nothing worse.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's you've got ride or Strong, who's already
Speaker 6: the most just miserable having to be at a talk show,
Speaker 6: then coupled with we gotta you know, you already don't
Speaker 6: know what you're gonna talk about, but now we're gonna
Speaker 6: put it in your head. It's like the old saying
Speaker 6: of don't think of a white elephant.
Speaker 3: Rights.
Speaker 6: If you just didn't say anything, I probably wouldn't walk
Speaker 6: out there and be thinking about her.
Speaker 3: Family and morality. And but oh god.
Speaker 2: The whole thing is like you have to be you
Speaker 2: have to be like really produced. Like the whole point
Speaker 2: of doing those talk shows is to have like your
Speaker 2: little story that you have memorized, that you've worked out
Speaker 2: with a producer ahead of time, and like you get
Speaker 2: out there and you and the host are basically scripted.
Speaker 3: Telling a story or telling a thing.
Speaker 2: I just so I still like naively believe in the
Speaker 2: purity of like I can just show up and we
Speaker 2: can talk, and so like I walk into a trap
Speaker 2: every time because what they do for somebody like me
Speaker 2: is they have a pre show interview ahead of time.
Speaker 2: You get on the phone with whoever, the producers, and
Speaker 2: they ask you questions, and based on those answers, they feed.
Speaker 3: The host what they're to ask you whatever.
Speaker 2: Sure, and like you're supposed to if you're a smart,
Speaker 2: grown up actor, comedian person, you're supposed to do in
Speaker 2: that pre interview, like tell them what you want to
Speaker 2: talk about, tell them what you're not willing to do,
Speaker 2: what you're not willing.
Speaker 3: To talk about.
Speaker 2: And instead I would just be like whatever, man, I'm cool.
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, let's so like with Rosie O'Donnell, it
Speaker 2: was like a writer Rosie loves les miss and I'm like,
Speaker 2: yeah cool and she's and they're like, so she would
Speaker 2: love it if you'd be willing to sing a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh no, no, no, I actually like stop
Speaker 2: singing like it's a big thing, like it gets you know,
Speaker 2: Like I just I really get nervous.
Speaker 3: And I never my voice never changed.
Speaker 2: I just like I'm not I'm not a singer person,
Speaker 2: like I know, I was in musicals, so yeah, like
Speaker 2: I just I'm really uncomfortable with that. So sure enough,
Speaker 2: when I get out there. They were like Rosie's like,
Speaker 2: we heard.
Speaker 3: You were in Le Mez. You're a big boy. Now
Speaker 3: let's hear it go And her piano player starts playing.
Speaker 1: Can you know how uncomfortable about that is? Like that
Speaker 1: is not the producer. That was somebody who said to
Speaker 1: Rosie who loves musicals and he doesn't want to sing,
Speaker 1: And Rosie was like, watch this him get in to sing,
Speaker 1: and like that is I can't imagine knowing somebody's like listen,
Speaker 1: this makes me, this makes me uncomfortable and then being
Speaker 1: like gonna put you in the corner.
Speaker 4: Anyway, it would have.
Speaker 6: Been would have been ballsy to just be like I
Speaker 6: told you I'm not going to sing as the piano's playing,
Speaker 6: just be like I'm not going out.
Speaker 3: Oh well, not gonna happen.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: I would do that, But Matt Lawrence was with me.
Speaker 2: He had just joined our show, so he was with
Speaker 2: me on Rosie' donald and like in retrospect, like Matt
Speaker 2: can really sing. I should have been like Matt will sing,
Speaker 2: like yeah, oh but no, I got completely pressured and cornered.
Speaker 2: And it's like the whole audience is cheery, like clapping along,
Speaker 2: like let's do this.
Speaker 3: And it's like, what do you do? Like, are you
Speaker 3: going to be that?
Speaker 2: It was like, no, yes, I literally told you I
Speaker 2: am not singing, and here we are in live television.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to sing for you.
Speaker 4: Do you remember who else was on that Rose O'Donnell
Speaker 4: episode with you?
Speaker 3: Just Matt Lawrence is all I can remember.
Speaker 4: No, it was uh Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby was on that.
Speaker 4: What was it?
Speaker 3: Oh godre's your star studded line. I don't remember that
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 2: I mean I definitely did not meet him because I
Speaker 2: never I've never met Cosby.
Speaker 3: Wow, oh oh my god.
Speaker 2: And then I did Oprah once. I told you guys
Speaker 2: about that. That was horrible.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that was your fan mail one.
Speaker 2: Somebody should do like a I'm sure all these things
Speaker 2: are available. Somebody should do like an edit of awkward writer,
Speaker 2: strong appearances. You can probably find them all, and.
Speaker 4: I think you could.
Speaker 6: You don't have to say awkward. I think just type
Speaker 6: in writer.
Speaker 3: I think the awkward is it comes along with everything else.
Speaker 4: Welcome to Pod Meets World. I'm Daniel Fishel.
Speaker 3: I'm right strong, and I am not going to sing.
Speaker 3: I'm well for do.
Speaker 1: Welcome to season four, Episode seven, Singled Out. It originally
Speaker 1: aired November first, nineteen ninety six. The synopsis Eric lies
Speaker 1: to land a spot on MTV's dating show singled Out
Speaker 1: while Corey has his tonsils removed?
Speaker 4: Was this a Ben has Finals episode?
Speaker 3: I don't know, because he's a story.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4: I couldn't figure it out. I know.
Speaker 1: It was like, do they just always make him sick
Speaker 1: when he has finals? And so I thought maybe we
Speaker 1: weren't going to see a lot of him, but we did.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But also, his scratchy tonsil voice is phenomenal.
Speaker 6: He's sick, wasn't really sick because then after he had
Speaker 6: it done later he's five. Like he speaks at the
Speaker 6: end as a voiceover act our city.
Speaker 4: They're going, this is great. He was a great scratchy voice.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Really, it made me so uncomfortable for it. But I
Speaker 2: just the idea of like somebody having a sore voice.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, uncomfortable, Like I made it hard
Speaker 2: to enjoy. I was like, yeah, that's that's not a
Speaker 2: knock on bed. That's just like the idea of like
Speaker 2: somebody's sore voice just makes me I was like, no,
Speaker 2: I don't want to listen to this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought, wow, that's a really I don't know
Speaker 1: how he's doing that. I don't know how he's putting
Speaker 1: that on, but it's really good.
Speaker 3: He's got it just comes down here with the kind
Speaker 3: of scraggling throat.
Speaker 6: Yeah right, I'm going to really make rider feel good
Speaker 6: to do the whole do the whole episode, like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: No, this is the weirdest episode. Did you guys?
Speaker 2: Did you guys remember I didn't remember this episode at all.
Speaker 2: I had no Like I know, I said, I don't
Speaker 2: remember episodes.
Speaker 3: But like you well, yeah, I remembered the Singled Out part.
Speaker 3: I remember, No, that was on another set, right that
Speaker 3: It was actually on the set of Okay, I think
Speaker 3: we went.
Speaker 2: That's probably why I don't remember it, because like half
Speaker 2: the week was taped somewhere else completely Like what a
Speaker 2: weird week.
Speaker 3: Just such a bizarre episode.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was very weird.
Speaker 1: And No, I did not remember the anything no part
Speaker 1: of that b storyline. I strangely did kind of remember
Speaker 1: the a storyline, like I remember that.
Speaker 4: Set for some reason, even though I was never honest.
Speaker 4: Did you go, no, watch I must.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I must have watched Singled Out and I'm just remembering,
Speaker 1: but yeah, because I also know I don't know it
Speaker 1: was weird. I did have like weird feelings like I
Speaker 1: kind of remembered it. But you're probably right that what
Speaker 1: I remembered was singled Out.
Speaker 3: Sled Out. Nah, yeah, boy meets.
Speaker 4: World on single Out, So.
Speaker 2: So like I thought singleed Out was, Wasn't there another host?
Speaker 2: Wasn't Jenny McCarthy McCarthy, Okay, That's what I remember so
Speaker 2: Hardwick Start, who was the first one, was always just one.
Speaker 2: I thought there was a guy and a girl, like
Speaker 2: for some reason in my mind there.
Speaker 3: Were two people.
Speaker 4: It was them together the entire time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, its just didn't get hurt and it makes no
Speaker 1: sense even though for the most part, uh, Jenny McCarthy.
Speaker 1: When you say Jenny McCarthy, people immediately would go the
Speaker 1: host of Singled Out, like, especially at that time. She
Speaker 1: was extremely identifiable for that show. So yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: really sure why we didn't get her. She yasmine bleethed us.
Speaker 4: She's did.
Speaker 3: She bathed it, never go back, so that's she bleethed it.
Speaker 1: This episode was directed by Jeff McCracken. It was written
Speaker 1: by Stephen Hibbert. This is his first episode.
Speaker 5: Yay.
Speaker 4: Know what he is most known for, yes, go for it.
Speaker 3: Was the Gimp in pulp Fiction. I just texted him
Speaker 3: he's coming on our show. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Days, we'll get into the show that we did together
Speaker 6: with him right after.
Speaker 3: Remember the show. What a legendary thing to be like. Yep,
Speaker 3: so cool.
Speaker 4: He's also in Austin Powers.
Speaker 5: Is he really?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's also in the second. Quite a career he does.
Speaker 3: The second he wrote one of our best national treasure.
Speaker 3: He wrote chick Like Me, which right exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think one of our best episodes. We'll see
Speaker 2: when we get there.
Speaker 6: Well, he obviously tends towards the and I'm saying this
Speaker 6: in the good way, the absurd, yeah, because it's like
Speaker 6: some of the stuff he wrote is just it's bananas.
Speaker 6: What's going on in this episode, especially the oh yeah,
Speaker 6: we'll get it.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: And then we got another deep guest star list. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chris Hardwick. As Chris Hardwick. He was the host of
Speaker 1: Singled Out and the syndicated dating show Shipmates, and much
Speaker 1: later he'd become the face of the G four network
Speaker 1: and one of the first successful podcasters. He was like
Speaker 1: one of the first people to podcasting.
Speaker 3: Yes, yep.
Speaker 2: I just think of him as like the ultimate like
Speaker 2: host from like two thousand and six to twenty sixteen
Speaker 2: ish or somewhere around there, but mostly in the nerd culture, right,
Speaker 2: which is which is how I know him, Which is
Speaker 2: so funny because then singled out he's like the hip
Speaker 2: cool guy, the cool guy, which I was like, what.
Speaker 3: This is hardwicck this is where he started? Yep, yeah,
Speaker 3: I didn't know.
Speaker 1: And then John O'Hurley returns to the show, but now
Speaker 1: as Grant Steele, not the news reporter we saw him
Speaker 1: as just last season.
Speaker 2: But it's a dream secret so it kind of makes
Speaker 2: sense that it would be great the news reporter from
Speaker 2: their local station in Jen.
Speaker 1: Why isn't he just the news reporter reporting on Corey
Speaker 1: Vanishing instead of a different guy hosting a difference?
Speaker 4: You remember the name of the reporter? Was it Cal something? Cal? Yes, Cal.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say Cal Worthington, But it's not Worthington.
Speaker 3: You want to get a deal, go to Cal.
Speaker 4: No, that's not.
Speaker 3: Isn't there a Simpsons character that basically is this, like
Speaker 3: it's always doing the news? Do you know what I'm trying?
Speaker 6: Ken, I am Kent Brockman, Yeah, that's who you're you're
Speaker 6: thinking about, Kent Brockman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yes, So then we have Bridget Flannery as Lisa.
Speaker 1: She played Lilah on the show Sweet Valley High from
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four to nineteen ninety six and Jill on
Speaker 1: Sabrina the Teenage Witch from nineteen ninety six to nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety eight. I just would like for the record to
Speaker 1: show that the name could also be Leela on the
Speaker 1: show Sweet Valley High.
Speaker 4: And I have no way of knowing.
Speaker 3: So I read Sweet Valley High.
Speaker 4: I did not read it.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't know if it was Lila Orlila Isla.
Speaker 3: One of our most famous episodes of literary Disco. We
Speaker 3: read the first Sweet Valley High, disturbing, guys.
Speaker 4: Is it Lila or Leila?
Speaker 3: I don't know because I only read it, you know.
Speaker 4: Right right, but that you asked me if I have read.
Speaker 3: It, is it more more disturbing than.
Speaker 2: The multiple multiple rapes, multiple rapes in the first So
Speaker 2: that it is because there's only one rape and the
Speaker 2: first one that I get that it's so I read
Speaker 2: like we could not believe that this is the book
Speaker 2: that's so many teenage girls love and remember it's like
Speaker 2: it opens with her looking in the mirror and talking
Speaker 2: about how fat she is. Like it's so it's it's
Speaker 2: it's so damaging and like you're just like, oh, it's
Speaker 2: like Flowers in the Attic, which is also super disturbing
Speaker 2: to realize so many kids were reading It's like their
Speaker 2: first book as teenagers.
Speaker 3: So worse than Piers Anthony.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, because what's crazy is is more insidious, you know,
Speaker 2: like it's almost as bad. It's like the female version
Speaker 2: appears Anthony where it's like you're just.
Speaker 3: Like, girls should not be reading this.
Speaker 2: Like this is I'm sure they're better now, Like I'm
Speaker 2: sure there's a whole sweep, but like the original first
Speaker 2: Sweet Valley High, it's super disturbing.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: All right, Well Bridget Bridget Flannery, who plays Lisa in
Speaker 1: a bit of an ironic twist, graduated from Yale with her.
Speaker 3: Master's amazing research.
Speaker 4: I can't believe you guys found that. That's so went
Speaker 4: to Yale.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she went to yaweh and she now teaches acting
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: Oh, so I wonder if she went to Yale four
Speaker 3: acting she must have. That's awesome.
Speaker 6: Probably well obviously didn't decide to stay with her boyfriend
Speaker 6: and get married at a very young age.
Speaker 4: She went to Yale. Look what she's doing. Oh, look
Speaker 4: what she's able to do.
Speaker 1: And then we have Karen Lynn Scott as Donna, the
Speaker 1: MTV casting Agent. She has a lot of nineties TV
Speaker 1: appearances under the belt Seinfeld, Martin, Drew Carey, also Sabrina
Speaker 1: and then Leah Fisher as contestant number one and Jennifer
Speaker 1: Lee Edwards's contestant number two. We have Gail Boggs as nurse,
Speaker 1: best known as Louise Brown, the sister of Whoopi Goldberg
Speaker 1: and Ghost, but also musically she sang on Hollan Oates
Speaker 1: and Carly Simon songs cool. She also alleges that she
Speaker 1: was the person who convinced Madonna and Nile Rogers to
Speaker 1: release Like a Virgin as a single.
Speaker 3: Wait wait, who is this? This is a nurse? A nurse?
Speaker 1: Yes, so she's the one I think who just says
Speaker 1: like I'm giving him a mild sedative.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Online.
Speaker 1: Gael Bogs She's best known as Louise Brown, and then
Speaker 1: John Ernst as John Ernst the in House singled out DJ.
Speaker 1: He'd later go on to be music supervisor on other
Speaker 1: MTV hits like The Hills, Laguna Beach, and Cribs and
Speaker 1: he can Payne.
Speaker 6: Nope, no, but we kept cutting to him because he's like,
Speaker 6: he just gets one of the co hosts, and.
Speaker 1: I wonder if he did at some point have a
Speaker 1: line that ended up getting So he composed all the
Speaker 1: music for Ductne to see behind the music Love is Blind.
Speaker 4: And Netflix's cheer Wow yep.
Speaker 1: Jay Wodell as TV producer Again, this is another person
Speaker 1: who was credited but didn't appear. I don't remember there
Speaker 1: being a TV producer that right, besides the casting agent
Speaker 1: in the office. And then there was the announcer who yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, maybe a cut scene or at least a
Speaker 1: cut line, somebody coming out maybe to say something to
Speaker 1: Chris or to you who knows. And then finally Chuck Riley,
Speaker 1: a common voice used on Boy Meets World, returns as
Speaker 1: the announcer. So overall thoughts, we've decided. We've said it
Speaker 1: was weird and bizarre.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just like a I mean, it's not like
Speaker 2: super I mean, I guess it is pretty weird, but like.
Speaker 3: It just felt slight to me.
Speaker 2: It was like, okay, cool, there's an episode of a
Speaker 2: show like I don't know where it fits in the story.
Speaker 3: It doesn't connect with it's just mine. It was, yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I guess like the by the end, the Eric storyline
Speaker 2: just didn't really go much.
Speaker 3: It was just kind of like, oh no, she lied
Speaker 3: to great, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I didn't find I thought that there were times the
Speaker 6: b storyline made me laugh out loud. I did not
Speaker 6: think any of the singled out stuff was funny, No,
Speaker 6: I mean at all. It was the whole show that
Speaker 6: dragged for me, all the singled out stuff. And I
Speaker 6: distinctly remember talking to Chris about it at the time
Speaker 6: where certain things like it's like looking in a mirror
Speaker 6: in our hair, We looked at each other and went,
Speaker 6: we don't look that much alike to make this a joke, right,
Speaker 6: And so it came off as both of us, at
Speaker 6: least how I saw it as an actor. For me,
Speaker 6: it came off where I wasn't committing to the stuff
Speaker 6: as much as I should have because I didn't believe
Speaker 6: in it, which I was very rare for me.
Speaker 2: I also think you don't have a laugh track in
Speaker 2: those scenes. No, So it's weird because it's jarring to
Speaker 2: suddenly leave a show. So like when he makes that
Speaker 2: joke about it's like looking at a mirror whatever, there's
Speaker 2: no laugh And it's not because the joke bombed. It's
Speaker 2: because there's no studio audience. You guys were filming at
Speaker 2: the But ironically there's a lot of energy because that's
Speaker 2: the singled out, So there's like people cheering and there's music.
Speaker 2: But you're right, it's like grinds to a halt like sitcom.
Speaker 3: It's like becomes them yelling, trying to yell the jokes
Speaker 3: over the audience going.
Speaker 6: And it was so I didn't find any that funny.
Speaker 6: I thought that I didn't think it was a bad
Speaker 6: episode by any just like you. It was like, this
Speaker 6: is obviously there's certain things in this episode that are iconic,
Speaker 6: which we'll get to, right. I know, I know there's moments,
Speaker 6: huge moments that literally altered everything in the show in
Speaker 6: this and.
Speaker 4: Yet they're completely glossed over. It's like the yeah, yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you get to the singled out stuff,
Speaker 3: and I was like, eh.
Speaker 2: Well, do you think it was part of the like
Speaker 2: era of like I mean part of like all the
Speaker 2: singled out stuff. Right, it's like hot girls, horny guy.
Speaker 2: And I just feel like that doesn't like that's just
Speaker 2: not that interesting to me.
Speaker 3: It never was.
Speaker 2: But it also feels very dated. It feels like, of
Speaker 2: course it is. I mean, it's like heavy handed and
Speaker 2: like it says.
Speaker 6: As ni as you can get all right, we're getting
Speaker 6: rid of the naughty girl.
Speaker 1: I felt a little bit like how Will has mentioned
Speaker 1: before that because so much of the show took place
Speaker 1: on two sets.
Speaker 4: That we've never seen before.
Speaker 1: It was like so much of the show was on
Speaker 1: this singled out set that like start yeah, and there's
Speaker 1: no audience there, and so, like you mentioned, there's all
Speaker 1: this energy that's coming from people we don't know and
Speaker 1: don't have a real connection to. And then there's a
Speaker 1: hospital room. It's a place we've never been in before.
Speaker 1: And so it felt a little like what show am
Speaker 1: I watching? It's not a bad one, I just don't
Speaker 1: know that I need to revisit it. Like I watched it,
Speaker 1: I feel like I watched a pilot for something and
Speaker 1: was like great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it's it's a meta in some weird
Speaker 2: ways too, Like obviously you know the whole like what
Speaker 2: is the name of the show.
Speaker 3: Within the show, it's like, it's what's it's happen.
Speaker 4: It's like unsolved mystery disappear.
Speaker 2: Like and and also I think the iconic moment that
Speaker 2: we've all referenced in is like the mister Feenie moment.
Speaker 2: It's like, is all so sort of self aware in
Speaker 2: a way that the show hasn't been that often where
Speaker 2: it's like, mister Phoenie has to be here. So there's
Speaker 2: like a couple of metal moments that are actually pretty
Speaker 2: clever and interesting.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it doesn't feel like a typical episode by anything.
Speaker 6: It's kind of a filler episode, which is strange for
Speaker 6: it having so many iconic moments.
Speaker 1: Well, the iconic moment we're talking about is Will's first
Speaker 1: Phoenie call.
Speaker 3: The Phoenie call. It is where it's starts.
Speaker 5: This is it.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna call it because because you just yell
Speaker 2: at once, don't it.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is the moment where yelling Phoene
Speaker 1: in a funny way becomes a bit yep.
Speaker 4: It's so great.
Speaker 1: Okay, So jumping into our recap, we start in the
Speaker 1: Matthew's living room. Eric is moping he's home alone on
Speaker 1: a Saturday night, flipping through channels on the couch, feed
Speaker 1: up with dirty socks.
Speaker 3: Really say, this is an amazing, very rare camera move.
Speaker 2: The camera is like panning and then zooming like it
Speaker 2: was very stylized and kind of cool. It's like slow creep,
Speaker 2: you know, and then the whole thing is played in
Speaker 2: one shot. It was like this, Yeah, can anybody tell.
Speaker 6: Me before we get too deep into the episode what
Speaker 6: we were doing the week before? Were we coming off
Speaker 6: of vacation? Because everyone in this episode is tan? Everyone really,
Speaker 6: it might have been every single person in this episode,
Speaker 6: including the guest star. So either we had a new
Speaker 6: makeup artist who was doing the makeup differently, or we
Speaker 6: were all at Sandals resort together, I hope, because what.
Speaker 4: It was the vacation we ask together that I have
Speaker 4: no memory of.
Speaker 3: Yes, everyone was tan. It was very strange. Huh.
Speaker 4: I don't remember thinking I looked tan?
Speaker 1: You did, so, He angrily tells himself, I should be
Speaker 1: dating college.
Speaker 4: Girls, but I'm not. I want to date college girls,
Speaker 4: but how how I ask? He changes the station to
Speaker 4: the weather channel that announces Hurricane Chester has been downgraded
Speaker 4: to a refreshing breeze. I don't know why that made
Speaker 4: me laugh so much. I really did I notice?
Speaker 3: Yeah I did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was really I was expecting like tropical storm
Speaker 1: and instead it's just.
Speaker 3: Like refreshing breeze, refreshing breeze.
Speaker 1: And then the TV answers this question, MTV singled Out
Speaker 1: is coming to Philadelphia. If you want to be a
Speaker 1: contestant and meet hundreds of college girls on a very
Speaker 1: special edition of singled Out, then call the number on
Speaker 1: your screen. Despite his dreams coming true, Eric doesn't even
Speaker 1: bout an eye and flips the channel again. The MTV
Speaker 1: commercial finally registers, and he flips back, excitedly writing the
Speaker 1: number down so he can be on singled Out. And
Speaker 1: I loved watching you scribble on your piece of paper.
Speaker 6: Of course, you got to write the numbers down, got
Speaker 6: to go to the next room to dial up.
Speaker 2: It seems kind of crazy to me that we did
Speaker 2: a crossover with an MTV show, doesn't It seem like.
Speaker 6: It makes perfect sense though when you think about it,
Speaker 6: like you're trying to get that same audience, because that's
Speaker 6: when our show really took off. Was the second or
Speaker 6: third run when it was on MTV two or three, right, right,
Speaker 6: but it's just.
Speaker 2: For ABC, and like, think about it, last season we
Speaker 2: were doing like Disney World, right, so like now we're
Speaker 2: sort of like aging up into this. Like and of course,
Speaker 2: at the time, like Cable, MTV was so just a
Speaker 2: different world, you know, like they're like their ratings would
Speaker 2: have been nothing compared to a mainstream primetime show, So
Speaker 2: it was in a weird way, we're kind of like
Speaker 2: slumming it with this, like do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like MTV was like this, like Cable Racus, little little station.
Speaker 6: Also think they were changing at this point. There's almost
Speaker 6: no music left and this was the height of like
Speaker 6: the Real World and road Rule. Yeah, at this point
Speaker 6: I think so pretty sure.
Speaker 1: Ninety seven really it was yeah, okay, I think it
Speaker 1: was yeah, and I.
Speaker 3: Really revolutionized stuff when thou yes, well, and.
Speaker 4: That's exactly it.
Speaker 1: Even if their audience was low, their engagement, like their
Speaker 1: reach was really.
Speaker 3: High cultural soffect totally. Yeah, I mean the real world
Speaker 3: that was kind of the start of the reality stuff.
Speaker 1: Yes, and also the risque factor of even the beer
Speaker 1: Stein naughty girls and drinking for Eric to be Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like, that's you know, And I guess the save
Speaker 1: for it was, well, Eric's gonna rule those things.
Speaker 6: Out and talk about his mommy and stuff like that,
Speaker 6: so hot cocoa and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So then we're in the Matthew's kitchen. The family
Speaker 1: enters with Tapanga and Sean. Amy is reassuring Corey that
Speaker 1: a ton selectomy is a simple operation to Panga Grease,
Speaker 1: telling Corey you get to stay overnight in the hospital,
Speaker 1: eat jello, and then you come home the next day. Corey,
Speaker 1: revealing a very hoarse voice, says I don't need an operation.
Speaker 1: Amy asks, okay, be sure we do it every time
Speaker 1: he talks.
Speaker 6: By the way, this entire episode, you are dressed like
Speaker 6: either a go go dancer or in the mod squad.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know what's happening with my The seven
Speaker 3: is straight.
Speaker 6: Up like I expected you to get a call on
Speaker 6: your giant phone because Charlie's Angels needed you somewhere, and
Speaker 6: it was so like, what the hell are they dressing her?
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I thought, I don't know. We
Speaker 1: are we are experimenting. We are experimenting. Fair enough, He says,
Speaker 1: I don't need an operation. Amy asks, then why are
Speaker 1: you talking like that?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Corey quickly invents the idea that he irritated his tonsils
Speaker 1: when brushing his teeth. It's that darn angled toothbrush. Tepega
Speaker 1: encourages Sean to tell his friend that he needs to
Speaker 1: go to the hospital. Sean says, he's sorry, but he
Speaker 1: has some serious problems with doctors, and then he explains
Speaker 1: it last night he was slipping through channels. Who's watching CNN?
Speaker 1: Sean admits they lured him in with a story about cake,
Speaker 1: but then they did an expose on a fifteen year
Speaker 1: old boy who went to the hospital for a routine
Speaker 1: procedure and vanished.
Speaker 6: This is such a strange story like that, I know,
Speaker 6: but it seemes they did this on Seinfeld.
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 6: This was so it's a Kramer George has to go
Speaker 6: in for a ton selectomy, and it's Kramer the whole
Speaker 6: time saying you.
Speaker 3: Don't want you don't want to do that. That's think
Speaker 3: you're gonna end up.
Speaker 6: My friend Bob Sacamano went in for ton selected me
Speaker 6: and they took out his heart, took out his testicles,
Speaker 6: and now he says, Hi, my name's Bob, Like it
Speaker 6: was always something you shouldn't be here at this hospital.
Speaker 4: They're going to kill you in here, Like this was exactly.
Speaker 6: From Seinfeld, and you think it was after s ahlways
Speaker 6: way after, because this was season one of Seinfeld.
Speaker 3: They did this whole episode.
Speaker 6: It's an episode called the heart Attack where George thinks
Speaker 6: he's having a heart attack and goes to the hospital
Speaker 6: and then turns out he needs his tonsils out and
Speaker 6: it's Kramer there.
Speaker 3: They're going to kill you in here.
Speaker 2: They're going to kill you in That's one of those
Speaker 2: things that you could see like a writer is doing
Speaker 2: without even realizing that they're doing it.
Speaker 3: If it was a couple of years earlier, that's this
Speaker 3: was This is a storyline straight from.
Speaker 2: So I think this might be the first Cake reference.
Speaker 2: This becomes a thing this sean.
Speaker 4: Haven't we done?
Speaker 5: Think?
Speaker 3: I know we've had We've already had it on we
Speaker 3: had Weak. I feel like you've done this one.
Speaker 2: Because I remember there's like one of the one of
Speaker 2: the more famous moments I remember our Note Sessions is
Speaker 2: the episode that's I don't know if it's this season
Speaker 2: or next season, when Corey and I are like, uh,
Speaker 2: I have a girlfriend who won't let me see.
Speaker 4: Cory or like fair.
Speaker 3: To forget that's and talk about and I.
Speaker 2: Go like this, this isn't Corey, this is Cake. And
Speaker 2: then Ben the note during the note session, Michael was
Speaker 2: like when he says that cake, and Ben was like,
Speaker 2: what does that mean? He's like, I don't know, just
Speaker 2: be cake. And so Ben made cake face and then
Speaker 2: we put it in the script so then the writers
Speaker 2: would put it in the script whenever he was just
Speaker 2: put cake face.
Speaker 3: For Ben to do it was like one of those
Speaker 3: legendary boys.
Speaker 4: And I remember that because I thought we talked.
Speaker 2: About I don't think I think this is the first time,
Speaker 2: because I repeated in the scene, I'm like Cake, and
Speaker 2: I was like, what this was? I remember this was
Speaker 2: our running thing, like cake, because like a thing that
Speaker 2: we talked about.
Speaker 4: We have a different memory.
Speaker 1: The one we talked about was where there's something a
Speaker 1: little sad where somebody's like, but it's not this cake.
Speaker 4: Yes, I remember that, Yes, really we've already done that.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the one we'd already done where
Speaker 1: there's like a little bit.
Speaker 4: Of a sad thing where it's like, well, that's not
Speaker 4: what it is. It's okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like I don't remember that, Corey. I
Speaker 6: think I feel like it's Corey saying that. Did you
Speaker 6: just feel when you did that in your jaw?
Speaker 3: Is that what you just? I just I think I
Speaker 3: just checked your pulse every once in a while. Make
Speaker 3: sure you're still here by double chin. So let our
Speaker 3: well please retic in, please only only one of you?
Speaker 3: How do we want to do that?
Speaker 2: Can you guys get together and just elect one person
Speaker 2: to be the representative to like email us so we
Speaker 2: don't get thousands, but just one.
Speaker 4: George, it's you, George.
Speaker 3: I mean maybe Easton? Can you be our? I mean
Speaker 3: you should know this.
Speaker 4: You're the Superman Easton email super fan Easton.
Speaker 2: We need somebody to be our, like like on, like
Speaker 2: do the research and know like what we've referenced.
Speaker 3: Boy, we're already losing it anyway, it's you.
Speaker 1: I've just decided it's Melissa. If you're out there, Melissa,
Speaker 1: you're the one.
Speaker 6: There's gonna be nine hundred. Melissa's going, oh my god, Daniel.
Speaker 3: He totally called me out. She said for me to
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 1: So Corey Kroaks vanished. I want a second opinion. He
Speaker 1: sprints up the stairs. Sean yells, you're missing the point here, Cake, Yes,
Speaker 1: Amy forces Sean to go home, he's scaring her son.
Speaker 1: Sean says it's his duty to and protect his friend
Speaker 1: to Panga pushes him out the door, saying she's protecting
Speaker 1: Corey from him. Sean tries to be intimidating, telling to
Speaker 1: Panga he can take her. She shoves him out the
Speaker 1: door and he stumbles backwards. This show really likes women
Speaker 1: aggressively dominating men physically.
Speaker 4: We all know the best women are men. So Eric
Speaker 4: runs into.
Speaker 3: The have that line a lot too, I could take you?
Speaker 3: Did we do?
Speaker 2: There was like the trailer Park episode that we have
Speaker 2: multiple lines like that. It's a funny little kid says
Speaker 2: I can take you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6: What Danny asks Tony could I take you? And so
Speaker 6: there's yeah, there's a bunch of those interest Yeah, we
Speaker 6: like we like references on the show.
Speaker 1: But also a week with the last week with the
Speaker 1: with the yeah Lonnie beating you out.
Speaker 4: But there's like a lot of moments where someone really
Speaker 4: likes women who could physically. Think about the fight we
Speaker 4: have at the.
Speaker 6: End, you and I, You're throwing me around the apartment,
Speaker 6: and and it's all of us wrestling and.
Speaker 4: Being yeah that food, fights and hair.
Speaker 3: I think we're starting to figure out our writers room.
Speaker 1: Eric runs into the kitchen. Mail mail male Alan tries
Speaker 1: to burst his bubble. There must be thousands of guys
Speaker 1: trying to get on Singled Out. It'll probably take a
Speaker 1: month to make a decision. Eric gloats, and yet, looky,
Speaker 1: here do Eric Matthews from m T.
Speaker 4: I can't make out the last letter? What is that?
Speaker 1: Alan sheepishly answers V and then when he's sick of
Speaker 1: Eric rubbing it in, he snaps, how about I kill you?
Speaker 3: We'll do that. Oh my god, so funny.
Speaker 2: But I love this beat. You and Rusty like, you
Speaker 2: guys are just together. Partnership is yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: They're just putting Rusty and I together now, yes.
Speaker 2: Because you guys are great. Negative negative Dad is so
Speaker 2: I was dying. He's like, oh, actually, I.
Speaker 3: Was like, that's brilliant.
Speaker 4: Actually it is actually fun.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: Eric rips opened the letter he was selected to appear
Speaker 1: as a contestant on Singled Out. He continues reading, and
Speaker 1: please don't bring your negative negative dad. Alan snatches the
Speaker 1: letter let's see what this really says. Oh, they really did.
Speaker 3: For a letter too.
Speaker 2: A lot for the letter Eric getting letters, though I
Speaker 2: feel like there's been like because there.
Speaker 3: Was the male stuff, there's a lot of the mail
Speaker 3: and Eric getting letters.
Speaker 4: Or sending finding out if he's getting been into college.
Speaker 3: That's what I mean. It's a refurm like, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then we're in the Matthew's backyard. Eric looks spiffy in
Speaker 1: a button up shirt tucked into khaki's a belt. He's
Speaker 1: trying to find mister Feenie. He's not in his garden,
Speaker 1: so he yells, and this is our very the start
Speaker 1: of the Foenie call.
Speaker 2: I love everything about this. I mean, obviously like the
Speaker 2: anger and the expression of like mister, the self righteousness
Speaker 2: of like where is Phoenie? But then I also love
Speaker 2: the meta thing of like he's either teaching or he's
Speaker 2: go's all he does here else.
Speaker 3: The awareness of.
Speaker 2: Our show to like comment on its own sort of
Speaker 2: tropes is just so lovely, and so you're only going
Speaker 2: to do more of it, I know, as the show
Speaker 2: goes on, and it's so comforting. It's such a great thing.
Speaker 3: I totally forgot this though, and I'm sitting on the
Speaker 3: couch next to Soo, and I was a sudden I'm.
Speaker 4: Like, wait, is this this is it? This is the
Speaker 4: first Phoenie call. I'm like, it's it's happening right now.
Speaker 1: She's like, what what do you remember in the moment
Speaker 1: anybody's saying anything to you about it being really funny
Speaker 1: the way you said, Phoenie, what do you remember about
Speaker 1: the moment it happened?
Speaker 6: Remember the table read it getting a laugh, and then
Speaker 6: every run through it getting a laugh. And so my
Speaker 6: guess is we're going to start to see because they
Speaker 6: tried this with a bunch of things with Eric in
Speaker 6: the past, like they tried the uh, the weird cackle laughing.
Speaker 6: I remember I did that for two episodes in a row,
Speaker 6: and then Michael. I even looked at Michael one time
Speaker 6: during a table reading and he went like this. I
Speaker 6: was like, please cut it out.
Speaker 3: But the actual Phoenie call adjusted mister Feenie, and I
Speaker 3: just remember the way I said it, so that it's
Speaker 3: the indignation. It's the like, you can't be anywhere, mister Phoene,
Speaker 3: but I need you.
Speaker 2: So great, you know, And it's and it's so earned
Speaker 2: at this point, because it's like we're fourth season.
Speaker 3: Of course Phoene's gonna be and of course he is there.
Speaker 2: Like That's what I love is that he's like, I'm
Speaker 2: here now, and that is such a great delivery. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: calm down, I am now doing my job, and it's
Speaker 2: just perfect.
Speaker 4: It's so perfect, it's so good. Phoene rushes out, what
Speaker 4: can he do for him? Eric complains, you're not out
Speaker 4: here gardening, You're not at school, You're not gardening. What
Speaker 4: are you doing? Phoene assures him he's sorry, he's here now.
Speaker 4: Eric rides strengthened. I know he's like, I really, amy.
Speaker 3: Okay, I really don't. I was not doing my job.
Speaker 3: I am here.
Speaker 1: So Eric tells him, I've been selected to be on
Speaker 1: this MTV game show, singled Out, and I know they're
Speaker 1: going to ask me what college I go to. Phoene
Speaker 1: reminds him, you don't go to a college. Eric ignores this.
Speaker 1: The one I don't want to say is Harvard. Could
Speaker 1: you just give me the name of a school you went,
Speaker 1: if it still exists.
Speaker 4: Phoene shakes his head no. Eric nods and understanding, gone, huh,
Speaker 4: Feoene won't be a party to this deception. His advice to.
Speaker 3: Eric where went to college? Because we never talked about it.
Speaker 3: We never talked.
Speaker 6: So do you see him going to like apor exactly?
Speaker 6: Do you see him going to an ivy league school?
Speaker 6: I see him going to a small liberal college.
Speaker 2: I think he went to a small school because I
Speaker 2: I yeah, I see him because he has such a
Speaker 2: he has such a what's the word I'm looking for,
Speaker 2: Like he has such a democratic approach to teaching. I
Speaker 2: feel like he wouldn't have gone to an elite school.
Speaker 2: Like I feel like he went to a small school.
Speaker 2: And it's like he's a teacher who cares about every
Speaker 2: student and giving everybody a chance. So it's not elite,
Speaker 2: you know, like wherever he went it was like a
Speaker 2: state school or somewhere like maybe Penn State, like you know,
Speaker 2: somewhere like big and like still it's still a good school,
Speaker 2: but not like you know, like he struggled to get
Speaker 2: there and get you know, he he paid his own
Speaker 2: way and like it.
Speaker 6: And then I also think he did a year abroad
Speaker 6: at Cambridge or Oxford and came back with the accent.
Speaker 3: Dude, really there's a scholar, right.
Speaker 1: What if like his accent, it's all fake and he's
Speaker 1: a high school dropout and he's in a throttle with
Speaker 1: Eric and Lula Lila.
Speaker 4: We've got a prequel to make. Guys, we have to write.
Speaker 4: This is a writer's room. I should feel comfortable throwing
Speaker 4: out anything.
Speaker 3: Okay, no, no, no, it's okay. It keeps you.
Speaker 2: I think I think Boston area makes sense, which is,
Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of college up there, but
Speaker 2: like Boston's wear his accent, so he's like from Boston originally, so.
Speaker 6: I love you, and then he went to somewhere like that.
Speaker 6: By the way, Danielle, you're not saying Leela or Lila incorrectly.
Speaker 3: They're both right. But it's sweet Valet High.
Speaker 4: Sweet sweet Valet High.
Speaker 1: I just realized that's actually not her name on this show,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't really matter what the name is. That
Speaker 1: she's Lisa on this one, which is easy for me
Speaker 1: to say Lisa Lisa. His advice to Eric is to
Speaker 1: think long and hard about what you're doing. Eric thinks
Speaker 1: it over for a moment, but we optical flip, optical
Speaker 1: Flip into a casting office. Eric sits across from the
Speaker 1: MTV casting agent she's giving real mob wife aesthetic and
Speaker 1: she asks what college she goes to. He immediately says Harvard.
Speaker 1: Goo smart guys. Casting agent asks, if you go to Harvard,
Speaker 1: then why are you here in Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: Eric's explanation, he goes to the Philadelphia campus. They have
Speaker 4: a Philadelphia campus.
Speaker 1: She asks, they have six Eric class back, stop trying
Speaker 1: to trap me.
Speaker 3: You're so good.
Speaker 2: It's so funny, like just this like bantery, sort of
Speaker 2: like stuff trying to try.
Speaker 3: I just love it. Like Eric is now so confident.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like he's gonna once he's decided to do this.
Speaker 3: He's just gonna go for it first. I love it, dude,
Speaker 3: It's so good.
Speaker 4: The woman admits it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I chose you because of your hair, and the hair
Speaker 1: obsession continues.
Speaker 6: I just realized she was on Seinfeld and the guy
Speaker 6: cal was on Seinfeld, and the b storyline is from
Speaker 6: science from Seinfeld.
Speaker 4: We are just trying to be Seinfeld.
Speaker 3: Let's take a moment.
Speaker 2: I want to take a moment to talk about this
Speaker 2: this scene, because there's a.
Speaker 3: Couple of things.
Speaker 2: I was thinking, this is an opportunity, this is our
Speaker 2: show representing a producer's a television show Office. So I
Speaker 2: was like looking around the set and thinking like this
Speaker 2: is how and it does doesn't it kind of look
Speaker 2: like our writer's room. Yeah, like a little mess And
Speaker 2: I was like, so I like freeze framed and went around.
Speaker 2: This is like you know, it were similar to when
Speaker 2: you know we had Tapanga's room. I was like, this
Speaker 2: is an opportunity to see how our writers represent what
Speaker 2: a writer's room looks like or what a producer's room
Speaker 2: looks like. So okay, So you have like music posters,
Speaker 2: like kind of hip, colorful music posters with like and
Speaker 2: they're like tilted, so it's like, uh, stylish, but not
Speaker 2: very tasteful. It's like very colorful and like messy. And
Speaker 2: then you have like a stack of tapes like all
Speaker 2: those VHS tapes as right, and then boxes.
Speaker 3: One of the boxes actually says fox on it, which
Speaker 3: is super interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then you but boxes piled to the ceiling everywhere.
Speaker 2: It's like chaos and like binders then is like randomly
Speaker 2: a trophy on the desk, like a trophy for something
Speaker 2: she plays. It was like this like messy, frazzled and
Speaker 2: kind of overwhelmed space, right, And then I was like
Speaker 2: if did you guys look at her, Like her vibe
Speaker 2: is really kind of strange actually, because she's like wearing
Speaker 2: an extremely short skirt, huh, leg up, leg up, and
Speaker 2: knee high boots, Like I don't know what producers look like.
Speaker 2: This is like our writer's fantasy of what an MTV
Speaker 2: producer is like.
Speaker 4: Correct, that's what I said, mob wife. It's a little
Speaker 4: like she's sure my wife.
Speaker 2: Doesn't that completely go against the actual joke of the story,
Speaker 2: because wouldn't it be better if like he's lying to
Speaker 2: like a much more sort of like the joke that
Speaker 2: she's like, I only care about the hair would have
Speaker 2: been funnier she was like more like an uptight button
Speaker 2: nut producer who then reveals like I actually only care
Speaker 2: about your hair.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Like the second you see
Speaker 3: this woman, you're like, she's not gonna care that he
Speaker 3: went to Harvard, Like there's.
Speaker 2: No actual pressure there. I don't know, I was kind
Speaker 2: of but I just love this little window into like
Speaker 2: what our writers.
Speaker 3: Thought, like the MTV offices were like.
Speaker 6: But it's also that's the thing is it's MTV visiting Philadelphia,
Speaker 6: So why did you have an office that's been lived
Speaker 6: in for a year and a half, right, so none
Speaker 6: of it actually makes any sense, that's true, but it is.
Speaker 6: It's the the and when you think about it, you
Speaker 6: kind of.
Speaker 4: Don't need the scene at all. Right, you could have
Speaker 4: just right. It's fun it's very funny.
Speaker 6: But he didn't cut just right to singled out and
Speaker 6: you didn't need and Eric still lying.
Speaker 3: You know he's lying. The audience knows he's lying. You
Speaker 3: didn't need this scene at all.
Speaker 6: It's one of my just there for it's it's so unnecessary,
Speaker 6: but it was.
Speaker 3: It was funny, Yeah, it was. It's just that little
Speaker 3: singer of like, well is will gonna? Is Eric gonna
Speaker 3: get away with this? And then you're just so confident.
Speaker 6: And I love the end where yeah, at the end
Speaker 6: of the scene, it's like I chose you for your hair.
Speaker 6: I understand where we we we see each other, the
Speaker 6: same page, same page, let's go.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a commentary on like the super officiality
Speaker 2: of television, which I know, Boymous World does a lot
Speaker 2: like we make fun of ourselves and TV and how
Speaker 2: superficial it is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well it's also it was it's specifically an episode
Speaker 6: for college people. To meet other college people, and at
Speaker 6: the end of the day, the producer doesn't care that
Speaker 6: the guy they picked didn't go to come right, right,
Speaker 6: So that's that's the commentary is it's just like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't care, we.
Speaker 4: Don't really care about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So then we're in the hospital.
Speaker 1: Alan is tucking Corey into bed pre tom selectomy. Alan
Speaker 1: tries to sneak away, but Corey awakens.
Speaker 4: Fatty, are you leaving?
Speaker 1: Alan explains that visiting hours are over and if he
Speaker 1: stays any longer, they're going to charge him forty five
Speaker 1: hundred bucks.
Speaker 4: Corey asks, everything's going to be okay? Huh.
Speaker 1: Alan promises this is a routine procedure. He's going to
Speaker 1: be fine. Corey asks, they won't slip and cut off
Speaker 1: my head. Alan says, it's the best hospital with the
Speaker 1: best doctors in the city. Do you think they just
Speaker 1: let anybody in here to.
Speaker 3: Funny enters?
Speaker 4: Me too?
Speaker 2: This is is this the beginning? I'm just trying to
Speaker 2: think have we seen this kind of thing yet? Besides
Speaker 2: Sean being in the girl's bathroom. I feel like this
Speaker 2: is a trope that's going to run throughout the rest
Speaker 2: of the series, which is this Sean sector Sean like
Speaker 2: where he just like fits in anywhere and is like
Speaker 2: suddenly a genius or expert in whatever.
Speaker 4: Right, is this the first time he iss a vaunt
Speaker 4: in in role play? Which is perfect? Now that we
Speaker 4: know Chet the way we do.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is exactly Sean's an expert in this.
Speaker 4: Yes, Chet's son. He knows exactly what to do.
Speaker 1: You you have full confidence and you tell people who
Speaker 1: you are and they just get away.
Speaker 3: The mechanics office, but that's only because your uncle runs
Speaker 3: the mechanic shop, right, is kind of similar.
Speaker 4: Right, it was like I was there and yeah, you
Speaker 4: were into jumps that you knew. Suddenly you knew how
Speaker 4: to do these used tools and fixed bikes.
Speaker 6: And I don't know if that was the same joke
Speaker 6: though it doesn't, but it's not done for a joke
Speaker 6: that time. That's just like you're working at your uncle.
Speaker 2: I feel like it was the girl's bathroom, like where
Speaker 2: it's just like Sean just fits in and nobody's gonna
Speaker 2: question it, and I We're gonna keep doing this.
Speaker 3: You know where I can speak Dutch. I'm sudden, right,
Speaker 3: and I it's so it's it's funny.
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's funny because from Corey's perspective, it's it's
Speaker 2: great because he's so stressed out. He's never comfortable, right Like,
Speaker 2: Corey always is too nervous, and so to have Sean
Speaker 2: his best friend, suddenly be like totally fine wherever he
Speaker 2: is is hysterical. But it actually goes completely against Sean's
Speaker 2: character in the set. I like what you're saying about Chad,
Speaker 2: but the reality is Sean is a mess, right Like,
Speaker 2: he's very insecure and he's like never comfortable in like
Speaker 2: his life or he doesn't have like a stable family
Speaker 2: or a stable business.
Speaker 3: But it is fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's from Ory's perspective, it's just hysterical that Sean
Speaker 2: like always is fine no matter what.
Speaker 1: I love that Corey is such a rule follower and
Speaker 1: Sean does not even acknowledge.
Speaker 6: Rules that doesn't even exist yet. It's just we If
Speaker 6: I want to be a doctor, I'm gonna be cake. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean that's what it is. Here's what hit me
Speaker 6: in this scene. Can you remember and it can't be
Speaker 6: that far ago, that long ago, but I can't remember
Speaker 6: where Corey was the a story entirely.
Speaker 2: No, I mean that's I think season four has been
Speaker 2: much more of an ensemble or.
Speaker 4: Was it the Disney World episode?
Speaker 1: Was that the last time where Corey's going to the
Speaker 1: end of season three and I think.
Speaker 3: And they've started season four and Corey's there, but it's
Speaker 3: certainly not Corey. Yeah, storylines, that's yeah. Or Alan has
Speaker 3: had his storyline I know with getting the Topanga has
Speaker 3: with getting the haircut.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a shallow boy like that driving so
Speaker 2: many Sean. We've had the Shawn family episodes.
Speaker 6: Yes, it's it's a it's and that's one of the
Speaker 6: reasons why some of these episodes are jarring for me.
Speaker 6: Is not just because and not in a bad way,
Speaker 6: they're just it's becoming a different show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just grow and they develop, and you have
Speaker 3: different casts.
Speaker 6: And you put people together and you try partnerships and
Speaker 6: you do this and this is working and that's not working.
Speaker 6: It's just it's interesting to see where now what seven
Speaker 6: episodes into season four and it that we haven't done
Speaker 6: a Kory episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah at all. Well, I can't wait to see this.
Speaker 2: This this this development of Sean like because we started
Speaker 2: this season with him being the like sad puppy dog
Speaker 2: being left by his parents. You know that sort of
Speaker 2: vibe again. So now to have this purely like confident, effortless,
Speaker 2: always comfortable, Sean is really it's fun I actually remember
Speaker 2: kind of not getting it, Like I remember kind of
Speaker 2: like not thinking it was that funny. But now I
Speaker 2: watch it, like.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's really funny.
Speaker 3: You walking in the scrubs that alone, Karen and like
Speaker 3: flipping and throwing on my shoulder. I'm like, what, it's
Speaker 3: all so good? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sean enters, dressed in full scrub security around here suck.
Speaker 1: Cory asks how he got in, and Shawn answers, we
Speaker 1: got to get you out of here.
Speaker 4: Sean yanks Corey's bed. Careful my intro.
Speaker 1: Sean apologizes he'll take a look at that later, but
Speaker 1: he needs to leave before Corey loses his whole body. Corey, concerned,
Speaker 1: says he's starting to talk crazy again. Sean scoffs, crazy,
Speaker 1: am I. He starts to read a newspaper dateline Orlando, Florida.
Speaker 1: A fifteen year old boy was admitted to a local
Speaker 1: hospital for a routine procedure today, mysteriously vanished from the
Speaker 1: operating table. Corey says, I'm quite prone to nervousness. So
Speaker 1: I would appreciate it if you didn't bring those idiotic
Speaker 1: supermarket tabloids in here.
Speaker 4: Okay, Sean, so funny.
Speaker 3: I'm prone.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say that forever I knows.
Speaker 3: I'm quite prone to nervousness. Can we not do this?
Speaker 4: Sean smirks and tosses the paper. It's in the New
Speaker 4: York Times. Baby Corey reads the New York Times Trailer
Speaker 4: Park edition. Sean explains, it's exactly the same, except you.
Speaker 3: Can eat it. It's a wit.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that is one of the most witty, gorgeous.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, our writers are so good. It is
Speaker 2: just a joke in a half man that's so gorgeous.
Speaker 3: I mean, the way it builds, it's so.
Speaker 4: Good, the whole thing, Oh.
Speaker 6: The whole banter back and forth. This scene is perfect
Speaker 6: op not comedy writing.
Speaker 1: So Steve Hibbert comes from He's an improv guy, so
Speaker 1: you know he comes from the ground lane, just building
Speaker 1: that joke, building the fact that he probably has one
Speaker 1: hundred of those in his pocket at all times.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: Then over the PA we hear a woman doctor hunter.
Speaker 1: You're wanted in delivery. Sean says, well, this hospital doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to think so Corey believes it's another it's another
Speaker 1: doctor hunter. Sean says, I'm going to delivery. I tell you,
Speaker 1: core no matter how many you do, it's a miracle.
Speaker 3: In Sean's head, he has delivered hundred.
Speaker 4: What I just what a beautiful little scene.
Speaker 1: I just love it so much, so great, believe, but
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 4: None of this makes any sense to anything. It matters
Speaker 4: not at all.
Speaker 3: And it's great. Yeah, so good.
Speaker 4: Uh and then we are on the Singled Out set.
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: So, will I need to know about this day of recording?
Speaker 3: Where were you?
Speaker 4: Somebody that remembers it must have been?
Speaker 2: Where was MTV filming? Like somewhere in LA like a
Speaker 2: different embtage, a different studio.
Speaker 3: Any of this.
Speaker 6: I mean, I remember the idea that I was on
Speaker 6: Singled Out, but I don't remember where we went.
Speaker 4: Do you remember Jason Marsden being there? Yes? And I thought,
Speaker 4: because from a photo there's once.
Speaker 1: There's a photo Chris Hardwick posted years ago you and
Speaker 1: Jason Marriston together with.
Speaker 3: Him sense Jay just came as your friend, Like yeah,
Speaker 3: and I guess And because of that photo, I said
Speaker 3: to Susan, Oh, I think Jason.
Speaker 6: Might actually be in this episode. Maybe this is the
Speaker 6: last episode Jay ever did. And then in my head
Speaker 6: it was like, oh, did Jason get Eric on the
Speaker 6: sing I didn't remember any of that. I singled out
Speaker 6: easton super Fans has Singled Out filmed at Empire in Burbank.
Speaker 3: Empire Burbank Studios. Okay, yeah, I remember. I don't know
Speaker 3: what any of.
Speaker 6: This at all. So yeah, so Jay must have just
Speaker 6: come and visited for the day. So yeah, so you
Speaker 6: don't remember the Yes, I remember hanging out with Chris,
Speaker 6: who was very cool.
Speaker 3: Ye you know, I remember him talking.
Speaker 6: About the the two of us, talking about not really
Speaker 6: getting the jokes of us looking so similar.
Speaker 4: Was he improving any of this? His performance feels very improved.
Speaker 6: I think some of the lines were written because obviously
Speaker 6: it had to tee me up for stuff and some
Speaker 6: of the but I think some of it was probably improved.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think it's also just pretty straightforward hosting,
Speaker 2: like that's just what he did, right.
Speaker 3: He didn't have lines when he was host.
Speaker 1: He was just well, that's what I'm saying is that,
Speaker 1: you know, was even you know, as a singled out host.
Speaker 1: I could see how so was he doing the same thing?
Speaker 1: Did he did he improve at all?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I thought it was so well. I'll
Speaker 4: ask somebody who.
Speaker 3: Seriously you might remember.
Speaker 2: Actually, it's funny that you say, you know that you
Speaker 2: didn't think you guys look that much alike, because the
Speaker 2: second he was on screen, because I didn't remember Chris
Speaker 2: Hardwick as, I was like.
Speaker 3: Wow, he really does. Oh you think, well, you guys are.
Speaker 2: Just the same type. It's a white guy with that haircut,
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? I was like, good
Speaker 2: looking white guy with that haircut. I was like, oh wow,
Speaker 2: and wearing the sweater or too, like he's dressed like Eric.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, And I wonder how much of
Speaker 2: this just came from you know, Michael or somebody flipping
Speaker 2: through the channels one night and being like that guy
Speaker 2: looks like will I wonder if we could do an
Speaker 2: episode of Boy Means World where we gave him together,
Speaker 2: because it is funny. I was like, Oh, they're totally
Speaker 2: of a type, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So there are a crowd of college girls and boys
Speaker 1: cheering on the stage. Welcome to our special college edition
Speaker 1: of Singled Out, and once again, our professor of love
Speaker 1: Ology Chris Hardwick.
Speaker 4: There's so many background actors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so many.
Speaker 1: Chris walks on stage and introduces the episode's big man
Speaker 1: on campus who will be winning a date with one
Speaker 1: of the fifty co eds selected for him.
Speaker 4: Let's meet him, mister Eric Matthews.
Speaker 6: You wonder if I'm sorry, because now I'm thinking about
Speaker 6: all the extras. You wonder if Singled Out was one
Speaker 6: of those shows and they do this with game shows
Speaker 6: all the time, where they'll shoot ten episodes in a day.
Speaker 3: They did, so maybe they just fit us in.
Speaker 6: So those might be have been actual contestants for Singled Out,
Speaker 6: and then we just filled one of the slots of Hey,
Speaker 6: we're going to shoot a fake episode in between the
Speaker 6: five real ones you're.
Speaker 3: Going to do.
Speaker 2: We would have to paid that, We would have to
Speaker 2: have had paid them as extras too, So it's really
Speaker 2: like it's a big episode for us. You know, this
Speaker 2: would have been very hectic and stressful, and like, I
Speaker 2: wonder how much of our crew would have gone over.
Speaker 3: That's my question is with the Singled Out cameras and
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff. I don't know either.
Speaker 2: I don't know how it's I would love to ask
Speaker 2: Jeff McCracken because he'd probably remember like how they managed it.
Speaker 1: Did you guys notice later when there's a shot of
Speaker 1: a camera in the frame, No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you see the jib arm. Is that what happened? No?
Speaker 1: I think what it is is you see one of
Speaker 1: our four cameras the jib see.
Speaker 4: One of our So we brought recruit over correct?
Speaker 3: That so interesting?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know I wish, uh, I wish we had
Speaker 1: the answers to this, but we just don't.
Speaker 4: We'll ask Steve Hibbert when they bring.
Speaker 3: Him, and then McCracken would be a good person too. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: so too.
Speaker 1: So two men dressed like Cupid bring a very excited
Speaker 1: and masked Eric out to a chair facing away from
Speaker 1: his potential suitors so nobody can see.
Speaker 3: Him with the mask. Is this something they did on
Speaker 3: the show?
Speaker 4: I think so that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not supposed to see anything.
Speaker 4: They were blindfolded.
Speaker 1: I think on Singled Out they wore a blindfold out
Speaker 1: past the people until they go behind the wall.
Speaker 3: Sit them behind the wall so they can't actually with
Speaker 3: their back turns.
Speaker 2: So why aren't you wearing a blindfold? Why are you
Speaker 2: wearing like this fan or the opera mask?
Speaker 3: I don't get it. Well, I think it's it's I
Speaker 3: think it's a it's blacked out, like my eyes were
Speaker 3: blacked out. So they put on a mask.
Speaker 1: It's still supposed to be that he can't see but
Speaker 1: I don't know why they didn't use.
Speaker 3: That they can't see you. It's that you can't see that, right.
Speaker 1: Right, But it also in this case works that the
Speaker 1: contestants can't really see him. So this feels like a
Speaker 1: weird sticking point for the episode.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was like suddenly it was like eyes wide shut,
Speaker 2: kind of masks, like sex is this college thing?
Speaker 3: Like what is happening? Somebody gonna beat up Eric? Come
Speaker 3: and beat out Eric. Let's bring out the game. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Chris has Eric take his mask off and he says,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be funny or anything, but you're
Speaker 1: a very attractive man. Eric tells him it's like looking
Speaker 1: in a mirror. Chris response, I don't think.
Speaker 6: So he added that because both of us weren't didn't
Speaker 6: get the mirror thing.
Speaker 3: So he was like, yeah, no, it's not Yeah, and
Speaker 3: you know I didn't.
Speaker 2: You brought up the improvise. Improvise that's fine. I forget
Speaker 2: when the end of the next scene, or maybe the
Speaker 2: end of this scene, I felt like you two were
Speaker 2: improvising with each other. You're like, I didn't say that,
Speaker 2: I said the naughty didn't and he's like responding though it.
Speaker 4: Was to exactly just.
Speaker 1: And I do think there was a lot of fun
Speaker 1: sprinkled in you guys just riffing with each other on sprinkles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: love an improv sprinkle Who doesn't love that? It's an
Speaker 1: improv jimmy.
Speaker 6: And I was gonna say an improv jimmy or an
Speaker 6: improv shot, depending on where you are.
Speaker 1: Eric, would you like to tell the girls a little
Speaker 1: bit about the big Harvard man that you are?
Speaker 4: Chris hypes up the crowd.
Speaker 1: Harvard University ladies and gentlemen. Eric nervously begs, why don't
Speaker 1: we just play the game? Chris announces he's modest. Two girls,
Speaker 1: what a catch. He currently maintains a GPA of seven
Speaker 1: point zero. Yeah, why couldn't they have just kept it
Speaker 1: a four point zero? Is this a nod to the
Speaker 1: fact that Eric is the one who told them that
Speaker 1: and he just doesn't understand how.
Speaker 3: Yes, okayting, so okay.
Speaker 1: The girls all cheer for his GPA. As Eric is
Speaker 1: still nervous. Do we have to talk about this on
Speaker 1: the air, Chris tells him they don't, and they won't.
Speaker 1: He walks over to the board and explains the categories
Speaker 1: first date, brains, hygiene, experience, height, and h He asks
Speaker 1: Eric's Eric where he'd like to start first date. Chris
Speaker 1: reveals two options. Have you been naughty or have you
Speaker 1: been nice? Eric slily answers, I know my mom would
Speaker 1: want me to send away the naughty girls, but Chris interrupts.
Speaker 4: Him, all right, have you been naughty? Get out?
Speaker 1: Eric kills no as a bunch of cute naughty girls
Speaker 1: walk past him. Not a leather jacket in the bunch.
Speaker 3: No, not fast girls.
Speaker 4: No, not naughty girls. That's different. That's different. And then
Speaker 4: Eric yells, my mom's not here. You can be naughty.
Speaker 4: I want to be naughty with you. It's kind of creepy.
Speaker 4: It was kind of creepy, funny. I love it.
Speaker 3: It's funny it is.
Speaker 1: Eric keeps yelling as a herd of hotties walks by.
Speaker 1: One girl even goes up to him and kisses him
Speaker 1: on the cheek. Chris admits, you're a strong man, sacrificing
Speaker 1: all that just to make mom proud. He says, Eric's
Speaker 1: the type of guy.
Speaker 4: Every girl wants. Will Did you meet any girls here
Speaker 4: this day?
Speaker 3: I don't remember. I don't remember.
Speaker 4: I think what year was this, ninety I don't know.
Speaker 3: Ninety six.
Speaker 1: We still and originally aired November first, ninety six, so
Speaker 1: it's ninety six.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know if I'm dating Love yet, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you would have done Trojan War, so you were dating
Speaker 3: had I?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, then I get because you're.
Speaker 4: Talking, so you were blind you you were blinded by
Speaker 4: love and.
Speaker 3: Love and love yeah, yeah, but yes, I don't if
Speaker 3: we were dating then normally I can tell by the
Speaker 3: necklace I'm wearing, because of course you're young actors. So
Speaker 3: both Love and I wore the same necklace on our shows.
Speaker 4: We thought it was hit each other's blood in it
Speaker 4: or something. No, it wasn't even worse than that. It
Speaker 4: was seriously worse than It looks like a little little
Speaker 4: mini heads.
Speaker 3: It does.
Speaker 6: It looks like a tiny little coke. It's it's a
Speaker 6: little heart, but it looks like a little koke spoon.
Speaker 6: Every time I look at it now, it's like I'm
Speaker 6: wearing a little you're wearing Envoy World.
Speaker 3: Yeah for a year or two something.
Speaker 4: Why did you wear spoon necklaces?
Speaker 3: I have no she said, you're wearing little spoon.
Speaker 4: Have you ever heard of a white Why were you
Speaker 4: the little spoon? Much better?
Speaker 3: Just wear a full white rose around my neck and
Speaker 3: where we go? I think it'd be great answer your question.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I shows like this exist anymore,
Speaker 3: like singled Out? Remember Studs?
Speaker 2: There were always like these dating shows where if you're like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, now it's like ninety dight Fiance Bachelor.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, wonder the Internet.
Speaker 2: Dating mind filled these kinds of shows, right, like the
Speaker 2: idea of like getting a bunch of hotties together and
Speaker 2: like asking them questions like zero people like you just
Speaker 2: do this.
Speaker 3: On the internet every like everybody just does this on apps?
Speaker 4: Well no, now, eliminate no, eliminate fifth Wheel. There were
Speaker 4: so many.
Speaker 3: I feel like you're making these up. No, no, But
Speaker 3: do you guys remember Studs?
Speaker 4: Kind of? I remember the name.
Speaker 3: I remember watching that, Like, I feel like I learned
Speaker 3: a lot about dating when I was like eleven by
Speaker 3: watching Studs.
Speaker 1: Where you got the white rose, that's where you were
Speaker 1: the original Bachelor you were.
Speaker 3: I gotta look that up. Now.
Speaker 6: It's like, here, you're gonna you're gonna marry a girl
Speaker 6: you haven't met yet and you've known each other.
Speaker 3: Ye ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Chris asks where they're going to go to next,
Speaker 1: and Eric answers, I want to go with the naughty girls,
Speaker 1: but he ends up picking brains his next category. The
Speaker 1: options are Einstein or beer Stein. Eric tells him he's
Speaker 1: not gonna get fooled this time, so he knows if
Speaker 1: he says beer Stein first, whoops.
Speaker 4: Wris yells beer Stein, get out.
Speaker 1: Eric screams no again, and a plethora of alcoholic girls
Speaker 1: exit as he begs them to stay. He saves a
Speaker 1: girl with a golden ticket and that gets her to
Speaker 1: the next round.
Speaker 4: And explained just just you have a thing all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, and where did it come from? And we
Speaker 4: didn't get it and then you think, did you just
Speaker 4: slip one of the extras something.
Speaker 1: It was like siler Fan Easton will know this, of course,
Speaker 1: because that's that was a famous thing from singled Out.
Speaker 1: So it was just like, we're not going to explain
Speaker 1: it on Boy Meets World. We're just going to assume,
Speaker 1: you know, singled out and then you.
Speaker 2: Guys noticed that, like all the girls leave for the
Speaker 2: naughty list, and then it cuts to them cheering and
Speaker 2: they're all back.
Speaker 6: Did you guys notice that we I noticed that they
Speaker 6: obviously doubled up on the I think they them.
Speaker 3: Cheering right before this.
Speaker 2: Next question was like, but those girls who just like
Speaker 2: you could recognize their outfits, Like right, they're right there,
Speaker 2: they didn't leave.
Speaker 4: Well, no, but that's what you didn't.
Speaker 6: This was the Twin day, so this was the naughty
Speaker 6: and nice. So the naughty twin left and the nice
Speaker 6: twin was there.
Speaker 1: Well, what I really think happened is that they did
Speaker 1: those pickups at the end of the day, all right,
Speaker 1: the crowd of people, and then in editing when they
Speaker 1: were like, now we'll cut back to this, they used
Speaker 1: a shot they didn't when they were doing it, say
Speaker 1: take fifty percent of you away.
Speaker 3: Yep. So, like my twin explanation better.
Speaker 1: I know yours is really good. It's a soap opera there,
Speaker 1: it's twins.
Speaker 3: Okay. When I was amnesia, forget it.
Speaker 1: Eric's still pleading when Chris grabs his head forget about them.
Speaker 1: We've narrowed it down to our last five brainy, chaste girls.
Speaker 1: Eric asks, it's bad, isn't it. Chris assures them they're
Speaker 1: exactly the girls he wanted. Sweet, sensitive, intelligent and fully clothed.
Speaker 1: We'll see how bad it is for Eric when we
Speaker 1: come back. The camera zooms in on the remaining ladies
Speaker 1: that are left as they go to break and this
Speaker 1: is a long.
Speaker 7: Really same thing. We just had time to kill like
Speaker 7: we didn't. This is what they did on MTV shows.
Speaker 7: They played the played the outro for.
Speaker 1: A long time and you got to see people dancing
Speaker 1: and it's just like, no, you will doing that dance
Speaker 1: where he looks like he's stirring a very large soup.
Speaker 3: It's I was kicking it right there, kicking but it was.
Speaker 4: It felt so weird for Boy Meets World was.
Speaker 2: Coming back and the same song as playing. I was like, oh, more, more,
Speaker 2: more of this, what is happening?
Speaker 4: They had an extra two and a half minutes in
Speaker 4: the show and they were.
Speaker 3: My dancing is so good that they were there like
Speaker 3: we need more of this.
Speaker 4: So we're back at singled Out. Eric looks down in
Speaker 4: the dumps.
Speaker 1: It's the final round of Singled Out and they're down
Speaker 1: to the last three girls we apparently lost to during
Speaker 1: the commercial break, but we don't see that. We don't
Speaker 1: need The girl with the golden ticket was eliminated. I
Speaker 1: took it back, and Eric pounced, there used to be fifty.
Speaker 1: Chris responds, let it go, math boy.
Speaker 4: I think it's so funny. I call back to you
Speaker 4: being smart. I thought that was really funny.
Speaker 1: He tells every one that before the show, they gave
Speaker 1: Eric a pop quiz, and now these girls will try
Speaker 1: to match his answers. Each correct answer gets them a
Speaker 1: step closer to Eric, and the winner gets a chance
Speaker 1: to go out with their Harvard hunk Eric. Eric excitedly
Speaker 1: yells Harvard hunk. You hear that, mister Phoene, Why now
Speaker 1: are you cool with it?
Speaker 3: And he wanted to downplay it first, but now he's yeah,
Speaker 3: it didn't make any sense.
Speaker 4: You're like, ooh, guys, and then you're like, Harvard Vinie,
Speaker 4: you hear? What's so funny? Okay?
Speaker 1: Chris starts the game. First question, bad kissers dumb them
Speaker 1: or train them? Eric answers train them. Two girls step forward.
Speaker 1: Next question, a guy who listens is sensitive or picturing
Speaker 1: you naked? Eric's answer sensitive, Now this could be the
Speaker 1: final question, best way to wake up steamy hot cocoa
Speaker 1: for two or steamy hot shower for two.
Speaker 4: Chris is sure he's gonna answer, do you too you
Speaker 4: have shower?
Speaker 3: Nope.
Speaker 4: Eric likes Coco, So Coco before.
Speaker 6: The even said, so you went, you got two things?
Speaker 6: You've got Coco, Sue went, I.
Speaker 3: Don't need to hear the second one. You'd pick Coco.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, that's true. She's like, yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: even need to hear what second?
Speaker 4: Definitely Coco Coco, and we have a winner.
Speaker 1: Chris puts Eric and his new love interest back to back,
Speaker 1: and that's when we see one of our cameramen.
Speaker 4: So we see the jib is.
Speaker 1: Moving around, okay, and then one of our you know
Speaker 1: four cameras, uh, probably coming in to do Will's coverage,
Speaker 1: and the jibs like zooms in. So she is all
Speaker 1: things Eric wanted in a girl. Her name is Lisa Thurman.
Speaker 1: Eric and Lisa turn around and they look really happy
Speaker 1: with the results. The game show announcer chimes in, you
Speaker 1: and Lisa will enjoy a night on the town escorted
Speaker 1: in your own personal limo. We also hear Lisa asking
Speaker 1: Eric about being a junior at Harvard, and we learn
Speaker 1: that she is a sophomore at Columbia, and again, very
Speaker 1: weird for boy Meets World. The announcer is talking and
Speaker 1: they are also talking Undernath You've.
Speaker 6: Got to kind of gett because what they're saying.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but it did work, but awkward and weird
Speaker 1: for Boys World, but good direction.
Speaker 4: It did. It did like it was just it.
Speaker 2: Feels like you guys are naturally talking to one of
Speaker 2: these the show is still going on.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, they're actually connecting. And the whole Chubby thing.
Speaker 4: Yes, the Chubby's thing is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: The voice continues, You'll be ending your night at the
Speaker 1: best kept little Secret Chubby's. Lisa loves that place. Eric
Speaker 1: lies and says he's never been. And I would just
Speaker 1: like to point out that if Lisa loves Chubby's, I
Speaker 1: mean she has definitely seen Eric.
Speaker 4: There is no other place to eat.
Speaker 1: She probably knows mister Turner, and she may have even
Speaker 1: seen Eric's trick pool shot.
Speaker 4: So exactly, she's DTC. She's down a job job. I
Speaker 4: was gonna say down to Chubbs, and then I was
Speaker 4: like I'm gonna just take.
Speaker 1: Mid mid sentences, but we can all put that in
Speaker 1: our head.
Speaker 3: Anyway we'd like to.
Speaker 1: Chris tells Eric nice hair. Eric compliments him right back,
Speaker 1: because they both have middle parted, blondish hair. The show
Speaker 1: ends in a very nineties way, with other couples dancing
Speaker 1: on stage and Lisa and Eric making small talk until
Speaker 1: it cuts, and then we're back at the hospital. Cory
Speaker 1: is still laying in the hospital bed pre operation, his
Speaker 1: parents in Tapanga at his side. The nurse explains that
Speaker 1: she gave him a mild sedative for nerves. It's obviously
Speaker 1: making Corey quite groggy. As he announces, I'll have the soup.
Speaker 1: What are you going to have? King Louis, Tapanga tells
Speaker 1: him she'll be waiting for him. He asks spongebath right
Speaker 1: in front of his mama.
Speaker 6: Well, you also had just gotten back from solving that
Speaker 6: bank robbery from nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with the rest of your crew. Is the way
Speaker 3: you're dressed.
Speaker 6: I'm just looking the whole time, just like the leathern
Speaker 6: jacket is going on.
Speaker 4: Hey, Angel's like, what the hell, who's dressing?
Speaker 1: I know it is very seventies inspired, it's very funny.
Speaker 1: Uh so, Phoene bursts in through the door. He received
Speaker 1: an urgent phone call imploring him to come down. Corey
Speaker 1: motions Phoene to come closer to him.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: I don't have much time. I need to make peace
Speaker 1: with you. Phoene looks at Alan, who explains it's the sedative.
Speaker 1: Phoene tells Corey all is forgiven, but Corey says it's
Speaker 1: not that simple. Phoene admits, you're making me very uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Corey grabs him by the collar and whisper. Yells, just
Speaker 1: listen to me, man. There's a key under the desk
Speaker 1: that will open an airport locker that's hiding his homework
Speaker 1: from the past five years. Corey reveals that he's understood everything.
Speaker 1: He's actually a brilliant student. Phoene asks what the capital
Speaker 1: of Montana is, and Corey knows the jig is up.
Speaker 4: You're not going to the airport? Are you a valise?
Speaker 4: I was losing it because it's so funny, random.
Speaker 3: What's the capital of Montana? You're not You're not going
Speaker 3: so good? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just then, a nurse walks into the room, ready to
Speaker 1: take Corey into his operation.
Speaker 4: He tells everyone no, I vanished.
Speaker 1: Alan looks at the newspaper and reads fifteen year old
Speaker 1: boy vanishes during surgery. He scoffs, this is idiotic. Not
Speaker 1: even Corey could believe this could happen to him. Corey
Speaker 1: drifts asleep and we get a dream sequence. It's a
Speaker 1: parody of Unsolved Mysteries. This is television's hardest hitting exploration
Speaker 1: of unexplained phenomena. We're not making this up.
Speaker 2: Now perfect the title card we're not making this up, though,
Speaker 2: is truly horrific.
Speaker 4: Faught is that?
Speaker 2: But it's the font and like it's also not centered
Speaker 2: or like, and there's no TV show that would ever
Speaker 2: have that cheesy of like it's so funny, and I
Speaker 2: don't recome a like self conscious, Like I don't think
Speaker 2: that was a choice.
Speaker 3: I think they.
Speaker 2: Literally were like, oh, it's just plugging a throwing out
Speaker 2: the title we could get with our you know, software
Speaker 2: from nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 6: But he also say that Ben's Dream doesn't make goods
Speaker 6: produced poor poorly.
Speaker 3: Poorly produced. No, I think it's fine. I think it's
Speaker 3: kind of fun.
Speaker 2: But like it's because like Unsolved Mysteries had like a
Speaker 2: great look and like all those shows back then, but
Speaker 2: that would have been very expensive to do back then,
Speaker 2: like nowadays you could do. So I just love that
Speaker 2: our show was so cheap that you just like pick
Speaker 2: a weird font and put it on the.
Speaker 3: Screen for new sets.
Speaker 4: And this week we.
Speaker 3: Don't have time for We don't have time for fond
Speaker 3: but perfect casting. You couldn't make anyone better. You knowly
Speaker 3: didn't even audition. Get him back and related.
Speaker 2: Now now that I saw him again, I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: that could have happened actually after this right right right.
Speaker 2: We don't know when that party was where he said
Speaker 2: that to us.
Speaker 3: So funny though, yea perfect for this.
Speaker 1: The host of this TV show, Slash Fantasy is Grant
Speaker 1: Steel played by John O'Hurley uh, and he explains the
Speaker 1: story of Corey Matthews' disappearance. Grant now stands in Corey's
Speaker 1: hospital room. This bed is empty because a fifteen.
Speaker 4: Year old boy is not in it.
Speaker 1: We see Amy and Allen, the grief stricken parents. They
Speaker 1: explained that they were looking right at him and then
Speaker 1: he just vanished. The news anchor asks what they mean.
Speaker 1: He explains, he disappeared, and then yes.
Speaker 4: And by disappeared, you mean and Alan says Vanish, that's
Speaker 4: literally it's so good, and then Sean appears. Of course
Speaker 4: he vanished.
Speaker 1: I even knew where he went, and he went where
Speaker 1: they all go to the fourth dimension, sometimes known as
Speaker 1: the Bottle City of Candor. I know.
Speaker 4: I was like, is this a reference? I don't get?
Speaker 4: But no, apparently not.
Speaker 3: It's nothing.
Speaker 4: No one ever listens to me. They all think I'm crazy.
Speaker 1: He then grabs a cooler, telling Grant he has to
Speaker 1: go so a guy's head back on. He walks out
Speaker 1: the door and flips the cooler around as two orderlies
Speaker 1: then start chasing after him. Next, Grant interviews Phoene, who's
Speaker 1: looking through Corey's stashed homework in the plaid valise. It
Speaker 1: was all there at the airport, just like Corey said.
Speaker 1: Phoene is astonished and the papers are remarkable. When Grant
Speaker 1: Steal asks how he feels about Corey now with this
Speaker 1: new information, Phoene says about the same.
Speaker 4: I'vebout the same.
Speaker 3: I was in love that. He says, like just like
Speaker 3: the boy said.
Speaker 2: It was like, oh, this is like one of the
Speaker 2: only times you've heard like boy like the boy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Grant concludes the segment, looking down the camera. Corey matthews,
Speaker 1: if you're out there, you're sort of missed.
Speaker 4: That's so absurd.
Speaker 3: It's great storyline.
Speaker 1: I know, it was really fun. Eric and Lisa are
Speaker 1: on their date. Eric's admitting how embarrassed he was on
Speaker 1: the show. Lisa bought his whole confidence thing. The things
Speaker 1: you were saying were so cute and smart. Well, of
Speaker 1: course you're smart. You're going to Harvard. Eric adds, well,
Speaker 1: you got into Columbia. She responds, yeah, but I never
Speaker 1: thought i'd have so much in common with a Harvard boy.
Speaker 4: Eric asks quietly, will you forget about Harvard?
Speaker 1: He says, the only reason he went on that show,
Speaker 1: because it's just like turns out that.
Speaker 3: She's lying, because I was like, Columbia is pretty good.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 3: You're not sitting there going like Harvard is so much better.
Speaker 3: Like no, no, no, Columbia is everybody's safety school.
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Everybody knows that you.
Speaker 6: Go to Columbia's because you didn't get into your first
Speaker 6: For those who don't know strong.
Speaker 4: When to Columbia case you didn't know, there's.
Speaker 2: God, Columbia's hard, but it's you know, for people who
Speaker 2: can also handle a real city.
Speaker 3: It's cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh, He says.
Speaker 1: The only reason he went on that show is because
Speaker 1: it's so hard to meet somebody like her. Don't you
Speaker 1: meet a lot of girls in Boston? He stutters, Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm in class all the time, and when I'm not
Speaker 1: in class, I'm on singled Out and stuff. He asks
Speaker 1: about the boys at Columbia and she says they're nice,
Speaker 1: but she looks upset. Eric asks what's wrong, and she admits,
Speaker 1: I'm not what you think I am.
Speaker 4: I lied.
Speaker 1: Eric perks up, you lied, You're really one of the
Speaker 1: naughty girls. He fakes in, Awe there, I'm over it.
Speaker 1: How naughty are you? She tells him I'm pretty naughty. Eric,
Speaker 1: I don't go to Columbia. I applied, but I didn't
Speaker 1: get in. I didn't get in anywhere. I went on
Speaker 1: singled Out because I really wanted to date a college
Speaker 1: guy because it would make me feel better about myself.
Speaker 4: Oh, Eric, but.
Speaker 2: This all just felt so convenient, and it's a bummer
Speaker 2: because it's not. It's just such a random like if
Speaker 2: they had developed her character ahead of time in any
Speaker 2: I don't know this.
Speaker 3: It's just it's so well yeah, but the way you
Speaker 3: do that is by you don't do an entire episode
Speaker 3: of singled out in the middle, right.
Speaker 2: You do something you do them go on multiple dates
Speaker 2: like they start, and then the lie comes out.
Speaker 3: But yeah, iving a whole single out thing. It just
Speaker 3: doesn't know. It felt that fell flat for me. It
Speaker 3: wasn't particularly funny. It was too long. Yeah, so exactly, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 3: so it was unfortunate.
Speaker 1: But uh, Eric is flabbergasted. Wow, where do I start.
Speaker 1: Lisa says she'll leave if he wants. He tells her, no,
Speaker 1: don't leave. He should really be the onely thing you
Speaker 1: I'm the pathetic towny who lied to get on a
Speaker 1: game show?
Speaker 4: Is towny a phrase people used?
Speaker 3: I used to say that, really. I used to say
Speaker 3: that back, and it's like you on the show, because
Speaker 3: that's what I.
Speaker 1: Thought it was maybe like a show thing, but I
Speaker 1: guess it is like an actual it is used.
Speaker 3: I never used it growing up. I never heard that
Speaker 3: we did. We did? We did?
Speaker 6: If it was like, maybe that's an East Coast thing,
Speaker 6: because it was you. People would graduate from high school
Speaker 6: and certain people go to college, and you'd always come
Speaker 6: back and it was there'd be the townies were there.
Speaker 6: It's like, oh, yeah, that guy never left and he's
Speaker 6: still wearing his high school jersey in the local bar,
Speaker 6: like that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: Right, That's well.
Speaker 1: Eric tells her the truth. I don't go to Harvard.
Speaker 1: I did the same thing you did, but you confessed first.
Speaker 1: I was gonna let you think I really went to
Speaker 1: Harvard until you liked me anyway, and I felt better
Speaker 1: about myself, and then I'd have my parents call you
Speaker 1: and till.
Speaker 4: You I died. I died, I died.
Speaker 1: She takes this all in and smiles, Wow, we really
Speaker 1: are compatible. He agrees, you want to cut the classes
Speaker 1: we don't have and see a movie. Actually, she's heard
Speaker 1: there's a great party in Swarthmore and asks if he
Speaker 1: wants to go. She can't get them in, but she's
Speaker 1: hoping Eric can. He ponders the thought, one day I will.
Speaker 4: Huh, Okay, why can't they just go to the party.
Speaker 6: Do they check student IDs as you're going to random
Speaker 6: parties at college?
Speaker 3: Doesn't understand that.
Speaker 4: Is the point that you're going to go to college someday.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's what it means. That's what it's
Speaker 6: supposed to be. Is like someday I'll be able to
Speaker 6: get us into a college college part which three of
Speaker 6: us right now wanted to go to a college party.
Speaker 3: You just walk into a college party. I think that's
Speaker 3: how that you know we're old.
Speaker 1: They would be like, they would be like, get out
Speaker 1: of your narks, what are you doing, NERVs.
Speaker 3: I told you I'd have my homework done next week, nerd.
Speaker 1: That's what we We don't care that you're the hosts
Speaker 1: of Pod Meets World.
Speaker 4: They might he losing.
Speaker 3: They might oh boy meets World.
Speaker 2: I feel like my grandparents talked about that History channel.
Speaker 1: You know what, my dad I had a crush on you.
Speaker 2: You not like I had, Like I swear they were
Speaker 2: like nineteen twenty year olds, like recognizing me and asking
Speaker 2: for my picture in Park City last week.
Speaker 3: I was like, how is this still a thing?
Speaker 4: It's young? Yeah, I hate to go back to the show,
Speaker 4: even though we were to talk about it. But I
Speaker 4: have a question about the show.
Speaker 1: In the chubby scene and will you're the only one
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna ask writer, writer, it's about sports ball?
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, did.
Speaker 1: You happen to notice the jersey that's on the wall
Speaker 1: over her right shoulder.
Speaker 4: Upstage, there's a jersey on the maroon and golden. Yes,
Speaker 4: it looks like a Trojan jersey. I saw that too.
Speaker 4: I think it might be Oh J Simpson's jersey.
Speaker 3: No, was it thirty two?
Speaker 1: We can't see the three. There's definitely a two. The
Speaker 1: second number two just.
Speaker 2: Would have been after the murder trial. That that makes
Speaker 2: no sense.
Speaker 3: Do we have Jay's jersey?
Speaker 4: I don't know, because he does not do well when
Speaker 4: people taking.
Speaker 6: It seriously, give just give it back.
Speaker 3: It can't.
Speaker 4: On the sleeve for sure.
Speaker 1: And the second number is definitely a two, but she
Speaker 1: stands up directly in front of the other number, and
Speaker 1: it is either a three or an eight.
Speaker 4: It definitely has.
Speaker 3: Oh god, anyway, I hope it's not O's jersey. It's not.
Speaker 3: This was after the trial. They would never would have
Speaker 3: had it on our show. Who knows he was?
Speaker 4: Who knows?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's completely blocked by her head, So I don't know
Speaker 1: if it'll be there in other episodes.
Speaker 4: We'll have to I just want now.
Speaker 1: That we know that's where it is, let's just keep
Speaker 1: an eye on it in case it is still in
Speaker 1: other episodes.
Speaker 4: We can look to see what it is?
Speaker 3: Okay, all right?
Speaker 4: Then we enter into the tag. We're in the hospital.
Speaker 1: Cory, now post operation, is in his hospital bed with
Speaker 1: Tapanga at his side. She asks if he's feeling better,
Speaker 1: and he says, with a glazed overlook, I'm completely recovered, darling.
Speaker 1: They might have taken out my tonsils, but they could
Speaker 1: never take out my love for you. Could you bring
Speaker 1: me some soup? She pulls out some Sherbert and he
Speaker 1: asks chicken and rice. Pang asks you're still a little woozy,
Speaker 1: aren't you. He admits, I'm seeing five of yeah. She
Speaker 1: asks if he feels strong enough for a walk around
Speaker 1: the hallways, and he excitedly says, are you kidding? I'd
Speaker 1: walk anywhere for soup. She doesn't help him get up
Speaker 1: at all, by the way, she doesn't.
Speaker 4: She just on your own, kid. She just walks out.
Speaker 1: He stumbles out of the room. Once they're gone, Sean
Speaker 1: walks in from the other direction with some comics for Corey.
Speaker 1: What you think they don't like X men?
Speaker 6: Huh, I don't know, I don't which, He toss out come.
Speaker 1: On, so Sean realizes it's happened. He vanished. Then Sean
Speaker 1: starts to spiral. He's next because he knows too much,
Speaker 1: his body starts to pixelate. Oh no, he's getting minkissed.
Speaker 3: Wow, I thought that too.
Speaker 6: And the.
Speaker 2: Effects for our show, and I don't remember doing like
Speaker 2: I guess they just pixelate me like I don't. I'm
Speaker 2: definitely not in front of a green screen.
Speaker 3: So no, they're not.
Speaker 4: Just that you're isolated, and that's why.
Speaker 1: Then when we enter, you don't see us as you
Speaker 1: saw like the technology wasn't wasn't great.
Speaker 4: So when we come back Star Trek.
Speaker 3: It does special effects.
Speaker 1: He says, I'm starting to de materialize. Sean looks at
Speaker 1: his body and disbelief. Then the pixelating comes to an
Speaker 1: abrupt stop. Corey tapanger at the door. Corey blurts out
Speaker 1: to Panga and her four sisters are taking me for
Speaker 1: soup you want in? Seawan obliges and walks out the
Speaker 1: room like nothing happened. Weird little episode.
Speaker 4: It is a weird episode, not a bad episode.
Speaker 2: Why we were recapping it, we kept finding things that
Speaker 2: were hysterical to us.
Speaker 4: That's very funny.
Speaker 6: Things in this episode that were laugh out loud funny. Yes,
Speaker 6: both storylines and the first Feenie call i mean, you
Speaker 6: can't dismiss this episode, but it's it's just a weird.
Speaker 3: You know what it is.
Speaker 2: It's silly, like it's a silly Boys World episode, and
Speaker 2: I think that there's a big strain of silliness, you know.
Speaker 3: That's pretty great. I like that.
Speaker 1: It also is something we've talked about before where sometimes
Speaker 1: what we're bumping against without even realizing it, is the
Speaker 1: fact that both.
Speaker 4: Storylines are a little absurd.
Speaker 1: Whereas sometime like if we just had this weird storyline,
Speaker 1: the b storyline with a maybe more like less out
Speaker 1: there single arounded a storyline, we would have been.
Speaker 4: Like the balance. Yeah, but because both of them are a.
Speaker 1: Little bonkers, Yeah, it feels like, Wow, this is a lot,
Speaker 1: but still very funny, very funny. So join us for
Speaker 1: our next episode, which will be season four, episode eight,
