Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Hello everyone. Before we jump into our Pod Meets World
recap of season two, episode three, Notorious, Um, we wanted
to briefly mentioned that, Um, boy Meets World and Girl
Meets World has lost a very special person in our world,

(00:38):
Matthew Nelson. Um. He was a writer on What's what season?
Did Matt start season two? Season three, It's a little later,
three three, Boy Meets World, I think, and then was
there through the end, and then was there for all
three seasons of Girl Meets World and became one of

(01:00):
the central voices of Boymouth World and Girlmate's World. He
is one of the you know, pillars of the writing
staff always um and just a break guy and then
just yeah, I mean beyond the creative input that he had,
was just like the the nicest, most loving, most most supportive,
the kindest man. I'm going to miss him like crazy.

(01:22):
I had no idea he was ill. Um, I didn't.
I didn't know he was he was that ill. He
He and I wrote a aspect pilot together right before
the pandemic a little you know, it was like nineteen
something like that. And Um, he had mentioned that he
was ill, but didn't know how badly. Um. And then

(01:43):
it was it and then you lose touch over the pandemic.
Everybody kind of goes their own way. We'd finished the
pilot and then it was you just heard he was gone,
and it was yes, awful. Yeah. I found out about it.
I saw someone else that we're close to had posted
about it on social media, and I reached out to
Jeff Minnell, who UM listeners of the podcast would obviously
know too, because he's Jeff Minell, one of the other

(02:05):
writers who came on, and they were very, very very close.
Matt Nelson and Jeff Minell were best friends, and UM
Minnell was very close to him in this this last
period of his life when he was sick, and I
reached out to him, and you know, it was a
little like sent a desperate email, like, please tell me
it isn't true, and he got back to me saying
that it is. And UM writer, like you said, as

(02:28):
far as just being one of the just kindest, most
generous people, like he was so willing to help any
one of us with absolutely anything outside of work. And
Um loved writing, loved comedy, loved people who wanted to write,
and and was happy to proof read stuff, and and

(02:48):
and loved our show, loved and loved our characters. There's
so much commitment to the world of What Meets World
and eventually gos World. Um yea yeah, you always got
the sense of Matt just cared above and beyond the job.
Um cared about us as people, as individuals. Like my
first episode directing was on Girl Mean World, his episode
nine three, and he was so happy. First of all

(03:12):
he did, he was always so gracious and always so supportive,
and he was so happy. He was like all he
expressed to me. He was like, I'm so happy you're
directing my episode. And he just made me feel so good.
And you know, of course I was nervous as hell,
and he made me feel so supported and that you know,
I could do no wrong, and that if anything, he
was honored that I was directing his episode. Just like,

(03:33):
oh man, such a bummer. Um wait, and when we
start getting into boy, when we start getting into his episodes,
there's you're gonna know what they are. There's a real
voice to a Nelson episode. We always knew when it
was in Matt Nelson episode. Well, let let me put
it this way to our listeners. Um Nelson is the
person who wrote perhaps the most famous epic lines from

(03:55):
Boy Me World, which were fine The's last words of advice.
Those were his um dream try do good. Um. That
was in his episode, and that was originally in his
draft of the script. I know because we had a
whole conversation about it because I told him that there
were fans out there who had gotten tattoos of that,
and he was so um so excited. But yeah, so,

(04:15):
I mean that is like distilled Matt Nelson. Um, just
such a wonderful soul. Yeah, I mean he will. He
will be greatly missed and a lot of love to
his family and everyone who is close to him. All right,

(04:36):
he's ready to jump into a recap. He would have
been the first one that would have gone and transition
to comedy. Optical flip Optical would have been the first
one to write the perfect line for there. Yeah, there
you go. Well, welcome to Pod Meets World. I'm Daniel Fishel,
I'm right or Strong, and I'm Wilfred ll. Here we
are talking about season two, episode three, Notorious. It originally

(04:59):
aired October seve The synopsis is that Sean tries to
make a name for himself by pulling a prank in
the school newspaper, and then Corey is forced to cover
for him. Eric also dates a news senior. Eric is
dating a girl. No, they're a different way. Yeah, it's
a whole new thing for him. It's a whole new Week's,

(05:20):
a whole new season, a whole new Eric. We're going
to try girl crazy. It's funny because a lot of
the show has chance. It evolved, but not that much.
Not so much this one. We'll get into it. But
this one is not only is he going crazy but
also stupid. It's a combination of the two. Yeah, this
is true because this is this is one of the first,
like I noticed, like the real stupid jokes we remember

(05:44):
it ever starting this early. Neither neither Well, it's the
stupid in my head that I didn't get. So no, no, no, no,
what Eric do now? So is the inaugural line like
our neighbors to the north, because that was the one
that struck me when you said that line, I was like, oh, Eric, dumb.
I think it started with the trying to open the door.
That's what I noticed was but to try and open

(06:04):
the door happened after writers writers, when you leaving leaving
the room, and yeah, the neighbors to the north and
north as while you're starting, So yeah, it really did
start with like, oh, and yet the way he kind
of delivered it though, I almost thought, well, at least
they're our neighbors to the north, seemed like maybe he

(06:25):
was kind of making a joke. He wasn't, but there
was at least the hint of like, maybe it's ironic.
But yeah, um So this episode was directed by David Trayner.
It was written by Jeff Sherman, and we have a
lot of guest stars, not me, but we have Jason
Marsden as No, I'm not I'm not you noticed, writer,

(06:46):
Thank you. Danny McNulty is back as Harley Kiner, Blake
Soaper as Joey the ratt, Ethan Supplia is Frankie, and
Sydney Bennett as Desiree, Jill Novik as Molly, and Bob
Larkin as Janitor Bud the Larks. I don't know did
he come back? He came back? Right? Was the only Janitor?

(07:08):
But I don't remember. I think so well. Janitor Bud
is also in the Halloween episode, but it's a different
Janitor Bud. It is is the name Janitor budds say, yeah,
I think it's Janitor Bud. Yes see, I have this
whole like character of Janitor Bud looming large in my brain,
but I couldn't remember if it's the same actor or
the joke is that we just kept switching it up.
But I guess it was probably because of this episode, right,

(07:29):
like this is where we invented remember him killing at
the table? Read? I remember that people loving his lines
at the table and I guess that, yeah, I do too,
And I think that's what it just worked because it
was so funny that um, because I guess really his
story function is that he's the witness too, you know
who was in the newspaper off because when I first started,

(07:51):
I was like, why is the janitor there? And then
it came back. Um, But I think I think we
see him quite a bit through season two and then
into season three. Yeah, I can't wait. Okay cool? Yeah,
So we get our quick little cartoon open, and then
we are in the school newspaper room, the journalism rooms
of that opening man right right looks like eight BI

(08:14):
Commodore A Commodore sixty four. Amazing. Uh So Corey and
Sean come walking out of a room or into a
room that says journalism, And we hear Eric and a
girl in the newspaper office making conspicuous sounds. That's a
good way to put it. Yeah, can starting off off
the bat off the bats of moans and groans and

(08:38):
what are they doing there? Season two, the Horny Boy era,
Uh so truth is Molly new character Alert, who's played
by Jill Novic is typing on the computer while Eric
gives her a neck massage. And we started dating after
this episode? Did you really Jill and I were together

(08:59):
for a little six seven months if they had a
crush on you exactly? And we find out about it
thirty years later about my dating history of Team bat people, Well,
it was dating everyone who came through the show a while. Really, Yeah,
that's hilarious. We were together, like legitimately together for a while.

(09:23):
She played Young Seal Award on Sisters. I loved that show,
so she was Young Seal Award on that and we
just we got along. So we we we. I think
this this point is the fact that you and I
weren't actually that close big age difference at this time.
This is and I were really hanging out and we'll
get we'll get to a funny story a little later.

(09:43):
But yeah, Jue and I started dating kind of during
this episode. So Corey and Sean walk in because Eric
said he would give them a ride home, and Corey
places a cage with two rats on the desk, which
scares Molly. They named the rats after themselves, Corey and Sean,
and they're studying natural selection. Corey holds the rat up
to kiss Molly and she runs out, leaving Eric to
run after the brainy girl that's into him. And then

(10:05):
the janitor warns Eric of a wet floor, but then
Eric slips and falls off camera. We just get the
audio of that and then his response the janitor's response
are just good, good, great, so funny. Um. So, Corey
and Sean, who are now alone, see the article left
on the computer and decide to change Mr Feenie's name.

(10:26):
It's introducing Mr Feenie as the school's new principle, and
they decide to change the name. Sean changes it to well.
Corey changes it first to teeny teeny, and then Sean's like,
let me at it, and he sits down and he
goes to Beanie Deanie Guinie Genie Leaney and then he
lands on Weenie. Okay, were you guys bothered by the

(10:49):
letting in this, like the way that the letters clearly
didn't work unless it was a W like you did
like every time it was in F. I was like,
but it doesn't. The letting is not right, the spacing
is not right. And then it goes to the W
and you're like, oh, it's like such old school computer
graphic design. Yep, I bet you. This was like cutting
edge to be able to do it was such a

(11:10):
big deal. And you got a hot in there too.
There was a hot back the first time in a while,
which we hadn't seen it. That's that's making its old come.
They like, we're gonna make this work. We're forcing it
into season two. And then I mean, before going back
a second to, I make a joke about cracking my
mom's back before, Yes, something cracker back before a strange

(11:37):
series of words in a row. I guess it's kind
of funny, but it's nice to know that Verna is
still around? Isn't her name? Verna still around? The joke
was supposed to be the idea of like, whoa, what
must his mother be like? If she needs her back
cracked before American Gladiator, Like it's like it's like this classlessness,

(11:59):
or if it's that she's so tough, like the the
image of like cracking a woman's back. I don't know.
I was trying to think of it, like I'm just
so curious because we're developing Shawn's home life, but I
don't know what it's. What is the picture that's developed
we we've we have established a trailer park, and we've
established in the first season, I think we established my

(12:19):
uncle that's a bee's eating Gilbert grape mother. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So it's like this sad like maybe she doesn't get
off the couch or she's sitting sitting around often. Yeah.
I also think they're going for which was very big
in the eighties and early nineties. I think they're going
for a Vera Peterson thing with this so on cheers

(12:41):
Norm Peterson. You know Norm, Norm, you never saw you
just writing stories about her and her name's Verna, Vera Verna.
So I think they were kind of trying to establish
like we're just gonna have crazy stories because I distinctly
remember episodes down the line being at the monitors and
there was another Verna story, and Michael turned to the

(13:02):
writers and said, we can't do this. We're gonna have
to meet this woman, right right, right. So my guess
is they were trying to do like a Vera Peterson
kind of thing, where there you're going to keep saying that,
so Sean's home life is just unimaginably crazy and what
that is, whatever's gonna be weird and funny and like
sort of thrown away where you're like, what's going on
with that kid's home life? That's especially what's going on

(13:23):
with that kid's mom. Right, they were just going to
Vera Peterson was just going to get crazier and crazier.
But you were never a great way to put it.
I think that's exactly what was happening. Yeah, I think
you're right. That totally makes sense. I wouldn't have thought
of it until you said it. Well, but you're right
that that really makes sense. Um, okay, so they've landed
on Weeny. Corey feels the sting of consciousness, sorry, not consciousness,

(13:46):
start again, He's conscious that was Eric. Corey feels the
sting of conscience and changes it back to feeni before
walking out. But Sean is still at the computer with
a smirk on how about that look back that I

(14:07):
guess that is who that is that is making a beat.
I know, it's like just sort of twirling my lash.
It is so over the top. Was like Jesus writer,
to it down, God, to be fair. It is the
button to a scene. It's the button to the open

(14:27):
of the show. And you may have been told specifically
we need something, we need a real we need a
real button. That was my version of playing look about it,
thinking about the button of a scene, and it's just subtle.
What if it had just been you going, yeah, I'm interested.
See that's that's more because then I'm like, what's going
to happen? As opposed to me three, You're like, he's

(14:48):
obviously going to be an evil little kid, the awful thing.
I see your point, But I will say, and we'll
talk about it when we get there later. But I
actually was super invested in what's going to happen in
this episode, even though I did too. I find we
will also talk about some over the top. Of course,

(15:09):
from a little cartoon. We have real cartoony moments because
we're sitcom. Maybe it's just cartoon. I think it is
I I finally feel I finally felt settled, and you know,
maybe it's because I wasn't in it. I don't know.
I finally felt like, Okay, I'm I'm a little settled.
I feel like I know these hallways now, I I

(15:31):
know I know most of these characters. And then the
new characters aren't out of left field for me. They
make sense. I felt really comfortable already with Turner. I
was like, yeah, I'm into this Turner perspective. I felt
I really liked it a new show, and now that
we've taken in the fact that it's a new show,
I'm I'm comfortable with watching it as I'm enjoying the
new show. I'm letting I'm letting season one go away

(15:53):
a little bit. Yeah, it's an interesting what it was.
And then moving forward, So one of the things I
was wondering, um and we should probably have back on
the show to ask him, it was like, what's up
with Jeff Sherman and writing Sean is like getting in trouble,
Like just like this is a but it also serves
as an interesting counterpoint to the fugitive and that uh there,
you know this episode doesn't it does have a hard

(16:14):
felt moment for Corey, but like Sean, doesn't really you know,
like I do the thing, but then it becomes not
it doesn't really have anything to do with me, Like
I just I was wondering and I don't even know
how we would figure this out. If this is the
only episode where a writer actually references one of their
I know, because he does. You know, ever since last
year when I blew up the mailbox? Are you kidding me?

(16:37):
We do that a whole bunch. They referenced their own
episode because he wrote the Fugitive too, right? Right? Maybe not? Hi, Christy, Hey,
will I have some unbelievable news. Oh there's a Kim
Possible roun Stoppable reunion in the works. No, no, no,
that would be great, But no, I have other big news.

(16:57):
We just launched the super awesome contest to become the
X Big Voice Actor. That's right. We want to give

year contract with my voice over agency, c s D.

going to our Instagram page and I Hear Voices podcasts

I Heart Radio app or wherever you listen to podcasts.
We are in the school hallway. A bunch of kids
are laughing seeing the school newspaper. Harley grabs the paper
from from some of our background actors that I remembered

(18:02):
very well and right, Okay, I was like, I know
all these guys me too. It's like a whole I
I know them all, I know all their faces. Now
it's so strange, but I did so. Harley sees that
they wrote weenie instead of Phoene on the front page,
and he calmly says, I'm laughing, which I loved. I
loved this for his character. Harley says he would like

(18:23):
to meet whoever changed that name because he'd be a
great addition to the gang. And Sean walks up to
Harley and tries to tell him that he made the
headline change, but Harley acts real tough before he can
get that's great. This speaks exactly too. I feel like,
Will didn't you bring this up right as we started
season two where you were like, is there ever when
Sean like wants to be part of the tough Guys gang? Yeah,
I mean it happens. You were almost immediately like all

(18:46):
I want to do is be a part of their gang. Yeah. Yeah,
And it was it was perfect. It was your your
intro for walking over. And then I cannot tell you
how much I laughed at Blake's as Joey his reaction
and saying because Harley's got a whole locker full of

(19:07):
ears from guys who done the same thing, they glasses
hang crooked now because they ain't got no ease. He's
almost singing it exactly exactly. There's like a song to it,
which of course we know him as a musician, and
so it makes sense. But all I could think of

(19:29):
when I watched it was, we've had this conversation before
about people who see what's written on the page and
just turn it into something totally just something magical. I
guarantee you that was something fairly straightforward on the page
that I would have never heard the way he did it,
and yet it was so unbelievably funny to me. So

(19:49):
I just it stood out to me. There are a
couple of really funny lines in this episode that really
stood out to me. You texted me about we will
get to too, because I love that moment too. To um,
so we'll get to that. Corey walks over to Sean
with the paper, and Corey knows he made the change
after all. Sean says he rules the school because he
did it, even though no one knows. But that's fine,

(20:10):
that's totally good enough for him. And then two girls
walk by and say they would do anything for the
guy who changed the headline, and Sean now says it's
killing him that nobody knows. That was a little It's
very sexual. It's just very sexual. I would do anything
for the guy. Who was like yikes, well and the

(20:31):
audience going, it's like, even even if it wasn't supposed
to be, which it probably was, even if it wasn't
supposed to be, anytime you throw in ah, it makes
it that way over the top. Yeah. Yeah. I also
thought it was a really interesting shot that the way
you couldn't even see the girl who was talking. You
couldn't even see her face. She was completely hidden behind
Ben and so you couldn't even see her until she

(20:52):
was like rounding the corner. And I was like, that
must have been the best take we had, but gone
just use that one. We don't have anything else. Um.
So then we are in Mr Turner's classroom and Mr
Turner is teaching the class about the scarlet letter. He
says it's all scandal and gossip that could have been
out of today's headlines. And then he holds up the
school newspaper with Mr Weenye on it, and then Mr

(21:16):
Feeney walks in and says he's going room to room
to ask whoever pulled the newspaper prank to confess. And
I have a really funny admission here, he says. And
if he or she or they confess and my first
thought was how progressive I really And then I was like, oh,

(21:42):
you mean today as in more than one person that
Sean and Corey at this point. But my first, my
very first thought was wow, we were so progressive in
ninety four, But it was actually just can I ask
a question? And I'm just curious about this. I frankly
thought the using the scarlet letter for the first time,

(22:02):
I thought it was a bit of a stretch with
this storyline. I get the whole gossip thing, but the
scarlet Letter is very specifically based around a woman. It's
very specific, like the scarlet letter means something, and it
seems like just because there's gossip about changing the headline,
it seemed like a bit of a stretch to correlate
that to the Scarlet Letter. I don't know, it just

(22:23):
seemed like they were trying, like there could have been
better storylines using the scarlet Letter, in my opinion, then
they change the headline and so people are talking because
it's as Weeny. It just seemed a bit of a
stretch for me. So literary, I've never read Scarlet Letter.
It's locked, but it's good, but so basically ideas that
she gets branded because she sleeps, she has to walk

(22:44):
around with the scarlet a on her as for adulteress,
and there's so it's it's essentially her holding her head
up high and learning to, you know, to wear it
proudly if she has to. But it's all gossip and conjecture.
And but it's a very specific story, and it's not
just because somebody gossips about somebody. I mean, there's sexual undertones,
there's there's the rights of a woman. I mean, there's

(23:05):
a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with
where where Corey and Tapanga fall asleep in the radio room,
perfect is a perfect example, where then Corey lets people
think that something happened between them Perfect Letter, where this
one it was just like, yeah, just because somebody did

(23:26):
something and there's some gossip about it doesn't necessarily make
it the Scarlet Letter. It just we're so usually so
good with putting in the literary kind of references, whether
it was what we talked about that, whatever it was,
it worked and Hamlet and all that, and then it's like, yeah,
this little bit of a stretch, Yeah, but it didn't
bump me. It didn't bump me so much that I
was like it was just like, you're forcing the letter,

(23:49):
but you know there's something too. I I totally get
what you're saying well, and I, like I said, I
didn't read it, but I would. I kind of agree
because I didn't get the connection necessarily, But there is
something to be said for a kids show to just
name check these things is actually valuable in itself, do
you know what I mean? Like so that a person
watching TV on Friday night with their family is going

(24:11):
to maybe remember the Scarlet Letter when they hear about
that in high school years later or whatever. You know,
Like that's kind of cool to just just accumulate. Uh,
Like you know, one of the one of the people
I love and I've always loved is Van Morrison. He's
an amazing singer songwriter, and I became obsessed with him
way back when I was probably like twelve or thirteen.

(24:32):
And he's infamous for just sort of referencing literary stuff,
like referencing poems and plays and books all the time
in all of his songs and so often in my
life though even and and and it's and in some
ways he's just like kind of reading the reading list
of like what he's reading at the time. But it
served a really cool purpose for me, whereas where later
on in life when I would encounter those books, I

(24:54):
would have a familiarity with it just because of the
Van Morrison song. Like they're just trying to make this
as if it was the same type of thing. But
I guess what I'm saying was wearing the scarlet w
But I guess what I well it is that kind
of does make sense write a letter. I guess I
get what they're doing it, but I guess I'm just
arguing in favor of making a literary historical cultural if

(25:17):
it doesn't necessarily have to make sense, just for the
value of, like our our audience just absorbing cool things
that will pay. And I think what Will is saying
is he agrees with you, but maybe there could have
been something that tied in more closely and we could
have had the best of both worlds. And now you
know exactly what it's like when we go to dinner.
It's I think writers saying, I think that Will is

(25:41):
actually agreeing with you, it's just that Will's perspective. I'd
like another double vacive rocks. Please think I'll see you
guys at six six in the morning. Okay, um so yes? Uh.
Corean Seawn look around in a very guilty manner, while
Mr Fini is sayingever he she or they if they

(26:01):
will just confess? And then we are in the Matthews
kitchen and Eric shows Alan the school newspaper, which Alan
actually thinks is very funny. Eric reads a letter from
his girlfriend Molly that says her efforts at journalistic excellence
have been forever compromised by Eric's limited intellect and profound immaturity.
She thinks Eric did it. Amy walks in from behind

(26:22):
Alan and slaps him on the head after he comments
that marriage is so wonderful and the love bug will
get you, and she says he forgot to clean the garage.
Amy sees the paper and wonders, well, how did that happen?
Morgan keeps yelling it says Wayney, and then Corey walks in.
Now he is very well dressed, like she's coming from work. Yeah,

(26:44):
she's the bricks, bright level work. What does Amy do? Yeah?
I think she looks very professional, and she's she's she
looks like she's coming from work. He's like home, you know,
not working. Just I'm so curious, what's happening here. Also

(27:05):
on the on the board behind Corey when he comes
in on the board for the for the tou of,
he's got to call like nine girls. It says, yeah,
there's like Corey called, Megan called called it. It's like
what how are all these what? And then yes, I
was watching it was Sue and I was like, can
you see what it says in the corner there? She says, yeah,

(27:26):
it says call the King of Siam. Was like, I
don't think that's what it says, so like Jesus, yeah,
you didn't probably see it the same way I did.
But there's some very strange things. If anybody can tell us.
What is actually written on the board is a list
of girls he has to call. I thought it was interesting,
all right, Yeah, Corey is a ladies man now. Uh So,

(27:47):
then Eric realizes Corey was the last one in the
newspaper office before everything went to the printers, and Amy
asks Corey if he had something to do with it,
and he says no, and then Morgan yells, Wayney, I
can read, can read. I had a problem just very quickly,
and it's just a personal thing. Brother Wise, I didn't
like and I get why they did it for the story,

(28:07):
it's not the writing. I didn't like Eric calling Corey
out in front of his parents, like you don't want
your brother, You don't want get your brother in trouble.
You want to pull him aside and be like, dude,
I know you're in the room. But I get why
they did it, and I because I also don't. I
think you just realized it at the in the in
the moment, and it wasn't even that you were aware. Yeah,

(28:28):
it was more because I think it was more just
that was the first time you had the thought. Because
it was actually very good acting on your part. It
seemed very much like the idea just came to you.
You were like, I don't know how this could have happened.
Molly thinks it's me, and yet there's no way, how
could it A minute, I didn't like that that. I
was like, oh, we called him out in front of
his parents, But I get why they did it. Were

(28:49):
you were just light bulbs were going off in your head.
So then we're in the school hallway and Eric and
Jason Marsden are studying as Molly walks by and tells
Eric to get out of her sight and calls him vermicular,

(29:10):
miscreant great words. And this is Jason's first appearance in
the second season. It is and I forgot that this
was the desire episode because like you with Trino, where
you've talked about later, this was the first time they
actually pulled me into an audition. I read with her
because she does I think, I don't know, she just

(29:30):
did this episode or she no, she does more than
one episode. Um. So they called me in and this
is the first time I was on the other side
of of the audition room where I was like, oh man,
I actually have to read with people. And I read
with a number of girls, and they talked to me
about what what did you think of this one and
what do you think it was. It was the first
time I got kind of the behind the scenes look
at what the audition was process was like when you
leave the room, because then I was there as they

(29:51):
were discussing everything. Um. But yeah, we ended up Jason
and I we asked that, you know, the we tried.
We had a double date, so Jason went out with
this girl and I went out with Jill, and we
all went out to dinner one night, the four of us.
That's so funny. She was very sweet and that was
my first first time ever seeing that kind of audition process,
which was interesting, so cool. So uh. Jason asks how

(30:14):
it's going with Molly, and Eric calls her a man killer,
and then Jason asks if he can call her, and
then Eric, while holding your favorite folders Will Folders with
the random sports on it, says he is done with
women for his junior year and the next time he
falls in love, Jason needs to talk him down. Eric
turns around and it runs into a girl and spills

(30:37):
red drink. Yeah, I know the red drink. I was
wondering why I was drinking in the hallway. I was like,
why did he? Why do I have this in the hallway?
And then and she also has red drink in her hand.
You know what's meant to be? This? This felt that,
this this part felt forced. This this part here with
the bump and the yeah and shoes and bought in

(31:02):
New York. My pants, my shoes really are into accents
this season, like everybody everybody got that New York note
to be more New York. You got you know, Blake
doing the ears and everybody's New York Atlanta and from Atlanta,
and you are wearing will you were wearing the most

(31:24):
giant pants I've ever said the same thing. She said
they were made by a tent maker. Yes, yes, they
are giant pants. And she says, when you say my shoes,
and she says my shoes, she says, I just bought
mine New York. I just bought mine New York. She

(31:45):
was in New York. She may have been saying mine,
but there is no separate word. I just bought my
New York. Um. She sounds like a nineteen forties newspaper dame, right,
she's more like a more like an eighteen fifties plantation owner.
What maybe maybe it's like Southern Belle. I got the vape.

(32:18):
So he looks up and she looks up, and they
appear to like fall in love, and Jason is muttering
bag of misery, bag of misery to remind Eric not
to fall for her. Eric says sorry, and he tries
to walk away, but the girl says her family just
moved from Atlanta and it's her senior year and a
brand new school, and she is lost. Eric keeps saying
senior while Jason keeps saying misery. Bag. Eric throws Jason's

(32:41):
books down the hall so he can go away, and
then he walks away with Desiree Emmeline Hollinger Beaumont like
you do. Yeah, yes, I got nothing, Okay. Sean walks
by telling Corey that there is a rumor that the
Whenie headline was just a typo and not his work.

(33:03):
So he then shows Corey that he changed the name
on the principal's office to Mr George Weeney. It is
worth noting here that this is the ever changing door
bathroom in the first episode, exactly the first two episodes.
I think it was where Harley was going to beat
Corey up. And we also in the first episode had

(33:24):
clearly established Phoene's office when Ben went to it, where
there was a completely different hallway. Yeah, there was another
hallway with a whole like a set of offices which
Phoene's office was off of. So now we just make
it this door store and it's going to be a
bunch of other things. It'll be closet. Yeah, it's that

(33:47):
spot on set was whatever we needed that week. We
ever make fun of it in a medicine, we must.
I don't know. I hope we do. I hope I
hope we do too, because it's ridiculous. It's really ridiculous.
So you have written Sean has written Weenie in in
like ink or paint or something on the door and
Corey ends up reaching up his hand because he says

(34:09):
there's a drip and he touches it. Uh, yes, gasps,
I remember him. Yes. I feel like we might have
done this multiple times or he does that, or we
all although we have a gasp that we did together.
Do you guys remember that we brought that back for
a whole bunch? Yeah, I wonder if that came out

(34:30):
of this, because this is really funny. Does it like
three or four times? Is great? Yeah, it is very funny.
Corey tells Sean that he is out of control, and
Janitor Bud from earlier walks over with Mr Foenie. As
Corey is standing in front of the door, thinking Corey
did the name changing. Phoene says Janitor Bud saw him
at the scene of the crime with his good eye,

(34:53):
and Corey denies it. Corey then realizes he has black
paint on his hand. Phoene. He says, my hands are clean,
and he holds up his hand. Did anyone else notice
that it was the wrong finger on the wrong hand. Yeah, yeah,
he wipes. He wipes the letter with his left hand
and then turns around left handed, and then when holds

(35:13):
up the finger, the paint is on his right hand
and bummed me out. But bummed me out. I was like,
as a director, You're like, I would never let that fly.
That would never happen. Um So, Phoene says Corey has
until the end of the day tomorrow to give him
the name of the person who did it, or else

(35:34):
he will be suspended. Don So. Then we're back in
the Matthews living room. Alan and Amy tell the entering
Corey that Phoene called to tell them he's meeting with
Corey in his office tomorrow and that he's they're supposed
to ask Corey what it's about. Corey tells his parents
that he has a friend who pulled a major brank
at school, and Amy keeps saying it's Sean and he

(35:56):
kep saying no, it was so funny seen. Rusty is
so good in the show. I don't even know what
to do with myself. I wish I had known this
while we were working together. How good. Now he's hysterical yeah,
so funny. The whole thing with her going Sean, Sean,
it's Sean, and him going it's not Sean, and then

(36:17):
Alan saying, no, he's saying it's not Sean. I believe
him is of course it's Sean. Obviously it's Sean. Yes,
so good, so good funny, and Alan says, well, Corey
cannot route out his friend. Amy says, what are you
in a prison movie? Which is so funny, and she

(36:39):
says there are consequences in real life, and Amy says
colleges will see suspended on Corey's record and if he
doesn't rat, if he doesn't write out Sean. But Alan says,
colleges will let you in as long as you have
enough money. Amy asks do we have enough money? And
then Alan turns to Corey and says, you have to
write out end because we're poor. This might be my
favorite boy meant world line of her. I love it.

(37:01):
I think it's Rusties delivery. It's just just beat turned deliver,
no inflection perfect, it's a that. Yeah, this whole scene
is great. I just love like them all sort of
figuring it out together, you know, like everyone's being smart,
everyone's being sort of above the dialogue. It's just really
well written and really well acted. This is like just quality.

(37:23):
This is kind of what I've been wanting from season two.
And I hope there's more of this, you know, like
it's it's it's not any less obvious. It's still very
much a sitcom. It's still very much set up, set up, joke, joke,
but it's just has this like effortless sort of intelligence
to it. Yeah, it's witty, you know, it's very witty,
and um, I love it. And it has good pace,

(37:44):
you know how somehow, like Michael was always big on pace,
paste paste, and sometimes, like especially on Girl Meets World,
that would feel like we were racing through things. This
has that good pace where exactly like you said, right,
or like everyone's just above it. It's well written, it's
it's it's just great. It's so snappy. Yes, yeah, it's

(38:06):
really great to write out your friend because we're poor,
I know, so so good. So Eric walks in and
says I'm dating a senior. I'm special and says he
has a newfound sense of self worth and then says
nothing bad can happen, right, and walks out. It looks
like Ben's about to break. If you go back and
you watch as I leave, he's in all the way
on the side of the couch and you can just

(38:27):
he's making the bend about to break face you walking in,
like we're talking about how great this scene until that moment,
like you walk in and you just literally like declare,
it's the set of lines, like here's my situation, so
I could just get it all out really quickly so
we can move on to the next scene perfectly. Oh

(38:47):
my god, it's like they just ran out of pages
and they're like, well, how can we get all of
Wheel's information or Eric's information just have Will come in
and tell them for no reason, we declare, it's that's
like lazy right now. So you go from like this
elevator witty writing to just like the laziest optical flip
my life. My life is the best, nothing bad can happen,

(39:10):
so funny. So we're back at the school hallway. Mr
Peenie reminds Corey of their meeting, and Corey asks Phoenie
Um that maybe he's just taking all of this a
little too seriously. Phoene says, Corey knows who did it,
and until then he can only talk to Corey about this.
Sean runs up and asks Corey if he told on him,
and Corey says no. Sean shows Corey the latest newspaper

(39:32):
that has a correction notice that his real name. Phoenie's
real name is Weenie Weenie A Bunch of Weeniees, Pg. Three. Yeah, uh,
did anybody have any problem with Sean as a character?
I see what they tried to do. I thought they
could have gone a little farther with him putting Corey

(39:55):
in a terrible situation, like he says, hey, ever since I,
you know, blew up that mailbox, but he doesn't. He
never dresses at all. Really that he's making his friend
get suspended, and he seems to kind of not care
where he's like, hey, thanks man. It's just like, wow,
I felt like they could have addressed it a little more, like, man,
you know, my dad's gonna kill you if I can.
I'm so thank you for doing He doesn't exactly that one.

(40:16):
He does one time, but a little more with it. Yeah, Well,
this is kind of what I was saying. It's like
as opposed to the Fugitive, which really went into the
depth of the depths of Shawn's mystery. At Home. Like
and and the struggle that seance, this one is much
more so. I'm I'm there as a source of pressure
for Corey, but it's definitely not played for realism or

(40:37):
played for emotional value at all. That was fugitive Light. Yeah, exactly,
It's like taking the ideas of the fugitive Yeah. So
the Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie is a new prank,
but Sean says he didn't do this one and someone
ripped his idea. Harley, nearby with the gang, says the
new article has flair and he is rolling on the floor.

(41:01):
Frankie and Joey admit that they did it for Harley.
And then Desiree is walking down the hall with Eric
following behind her holding her books, and she asks Eric's
to get Eric to get her cat neutered while she
is at the mall. She seems to be playing him,
and then she gives him a little kiss on the cheek.
Jason comes up and by the way he is, did
anyone else think he looked like he was wearing like

(41:22):
a striped pajama nightgown, like a tiny Tim's that striped
shirt reminding me like a tiny Tim nightgown. I wanted
him to have a little nightgown and holding a little lantern.
That's literally what I wanted to have a little lantern.
And like, god, he's he's so comfortable, you know, just yeah,

(41:48):
he's Jason. Yeah, he really seems like he's like in
on the joke, in on the writing, like the writing
is really him. Um. He asks if Eric is getting
neutered along with the cat a two for one deal,
and Desire comes back and asks Eric to drive around
for forty minutes before picking her up to warm up
the car. Skirts it into doing it by his na sentosty.

(42:10):
Uh so now his new older pretty girlfriend Um bribes
him to do that, and Jason teases him even more. Nearby,
Sean asks Corey if he's playing basketball after school, but
Corey says he has his meeting with Phoene about a
prank he didn't do, and Sean thanks Corey for covering
for him because his dad will ship him off to
military school if there is one more screw up after

(42:31):
the mailbox problem from last year. So this is the
spot where he really does just call it? Were you
dizzy with how many scenes are going on in one
like this is This is a classic use of this
hallway just divide and then suddenly there was this bench
in the foreground that wasn't there before. It's like so
many interesting like, you know, this just goes back to

(42:52):
the theater basis of sitcom. You know, you can have
like basically five scenes and one all these little groups
of characters getting their own little corner and their own
little It's just I was a little overwhelmed with this
scene in particular, but it is it felt a little
it didn't feel effortless this time, like I think it
could have used especially when like Jason and you and
you're seeing you guys just kind of like split up

(43:14):
and walk away, just like there was no way to
like it should have been carried maybe for one scene
to the other. But super interesting, like how much it
gets crammed into one scene. I mean, this must have
been a monster during rehearsal, right, because it essentially becomes vignettes.
It's just in one giant set. You know, it's very
strange other and I remember rehearsing these would be some

(43:38):
of the hardest because you would all be having to
wait around for your sort of vignette. Do you remember,
like Ben and I would be like whispering in the corner,
like laughing, telling in jokes while other actors were trying
to rehearse their scene. On the other it was always
like you always be like quiet, were rehearsing over here, right, Yeah,
you have to sit around and be patient for you're
a bit big deep set, big wide set. Yeah. This

(44:01):
was a cavernous kind of place. Yeah, And I didn't
remember thinking when it came back to you guys sitting
on the bench, My first thought was like, what have
they been doing? Like, what were they doing that whole
time while while that was going having some having some
red drink, hanging out exactly drink. I can I can
feel the painful sugar stinger. I can feel. Corey says

(44:25):
he can only cover for Shawn for so long, and
Sean asks how long. Phoenie walks by, reading Weenie in
the paper and reminds Corey they have a meeting at
three thirty. Mr Turner tells Poenie to go easy on Corey.
He's at a This is like scene five. Now we're
in a Turner and Phoenie. Okay, let's talk about Tony's tie. Yeah,
the time combo that was very strange. So I remember, uh,

(44:49):
years ago, maybe eight years ago, somebody started a Twitter
and maybe there was an Instagram too, but it's definitely
Twitter case. I was only on Twitter at the time
called Mr Turner's ties was a collection because apparently and
I didn't know this Tony war crazy ties on our show,
and I forgot about that whole Twitter feed everything until
I saw this scene. I was like, look at that tie,

(45:10):
and then I remembered that. So we're gonna we're gonna
start keeping track of his ties. This is certainly it's
a bold tie. So I'm so curious. I know we
should have we should have. We'll have to ask Tony
when we bring him back on our show, because I
wonder how much of this was Tony and then how
much of this because this also reminded me we should
talk about Sarah Markowitz, amazing, amazing wardrobe person who had

(45:35):
costume designer her actual title head of wardrobe essentially, who
came onto our second season and really defined the look
of boy Man's. She brought some style, she brought I
and it's still pretty stylers like she. I remember her
coming in and she was very stylish herself, like the
best tradition of great wardrobe people she would wear. Do

(45:56):
you remember her giant pink coat that she would wear,
like a giant pink fluffy, fluffy. I don't think it
was actual, for it was like fake for the giant.
She was just a character and she had such great style.
And she was the first person to be like, you
guys are gonna be wearing bowling shirts and I remember
being like, what, what's a bowling shirt? She made us
look so cool? Um, And she really is responsible for

(46:17):
elevating the game because from season one, you know, we've
made fun of the too much shirts and the hoods
and the layers. She was the person who brought this
new style, this sort of like hipster. I mean, I
guess it was kind of l a hipster because if
you watched the movie Swingers which came out, it was
that style. So she was ahead of the curve on that.
But we had no I mean personally, I had no style.

(46:38):
So you could see that she really brought that that
look to the show. And I'm assuming she brought in
Tony's ties too. Yeah, I have to Yeah, you have
to also wonder how long Tony had to sit in
wardrobe because It must have taken a good hour to
paint on those jeans. Talk about nothing to the imagine Asian.

(47:00):
It was like any He must have had to butter
up his legs to get into those and he's got
he's got like a cowboy belt, like a nice pell man.
Just nuts. Yeah, but no, Sarah was great. I remember
her one time. Just crazy is what I meant. Tony's

(47:21):
the whole package. Um No, I remember. I remember Sarah
coming in and telling us she moved into a kind
of a conservative neighborhood and the first thing she did
was paint her house bright pink man. She wanted to have.
That was just her. She just had. How she's doing.
I wonder what she's working on these days? I such
a she was really great. All right, we'll find her,

(47:45):
Sarah marco Witz. We'll go We'll go out there, we'll
get our sleuthing hats on. Uh So Mr Turner tells
we need to go easy on Corey because he's at
a new school, and Phoeny says pointedly, as am I.
And then we are in Mr Turner's classroom. Sean is
falling asleep during Turner's lesson, which in per Fickedboy meets
World Fashion is about the Scarlet Letter again and possibly
writting on friends. Mr Turner asks Corey, So, I guess

(48:06):
that's the more that's the more solid threat it's about.
It's about writing whether or not you rat on your friend,
but do you a more friend? In the Scarlet Letter
is about turning people in that Yeah, there's yeah, there's
a thing about because it's adultery is a thing. So
you know whether or not you report on the people
you know who are breaking the law kind of a thing.
If you say that's something, say something writer when it

(48:28):
comes to adultery. Okay, everybody knows that. So Mr Turner
asked Corey to stay back after the bell rings, but
Corey says he has his Pienie meeting, and Mr Turner says,
first impressions really stick and can decide your reputation, Like
if he calls Corey booger to more tomorrow morning, it
would stay with him all through the rest of high school.

(48:49):
As a teacher, he can influence others, like if someone
wrote weenie in a school newspaper, I thought every time
they were saying booger, I thought he was saying booker.
And I at the end of the scene. I said
to Jensen, I'm sorry, I don't understand. Booker is way
cooler than Corey without your captions. You always as because

(49:15):
we got a new TV and we got a new
TV and the and it's not set up right basically,
and so I'm watching without captions and I was I
was like Booker Booker both times. And then I said
that to Jensen goes Booger and I was like, oh,
oh yeah, that's why that's actually makes sense. Yeah. I
love that Tony Turner won't give him like the absolute No,

(49:36):
he's like, well, we'll see how I feel, like whether
he's gonna actually know that band was worried. Oh it's that.
That's great dialogue. Yeah, I love that. Like this first
I think kind of phoene moment for Turner to show
that he was going to give those kind of in part,
those words of wisdom, but it was going to be
different than the way Tony is finally comfortable, like there's
no more of the yeah you know, yeah, posturing New York.

(49:59):
Actually it's Mr Turner very comfortable. Yeah. Yeah, he's fantastic
in this episode. Um, and so Mr Turner says he's
not telling Shonda rad or not. He hopes that Corey
would make that decision on his own. So then the
moment of truth, we're in Mr Feenie's office. Corey walks
in and apologizes for the headline. Mr Feenie says, it's

(50:20):
nothing new. We need was his nickname growing up, and
Pheny says, as the principal, it's his responsibility to keep
order at the school and he has to control those
kinds of pranks because they could lead to a level
of disrespect. Corey says he cannot give the name of
who pulled the prank, that's his final decision. Corey explains
that this person did not mean to hurt anyone. He

(50:41):
just wanted to do something to make him special, to
make himself feel special. And I wonder if you guys
are gonna I want to point out something that maybe
you guys will also remember, or maybe you won't it
all or if it bumped you, did it bump either
one of you that Ben or Corey sat back in
the chair in that moment, I honestly didn't even notice it. Okay,

(51:02):
what is back? One of the one of the many
very good lessons or things that I learned from Michael
Jacobs over the course of doing Boy Meets World, and
and maybe I learned it very specifically because there were
a lot of moments that we're supposed to have a
lot of tension between Corey and Tapanga, specifically that episode
I mentioned earlier, the radio where we like fall asleep

(51:24):
in the radio um room. Uh. Michael was very big
on things that release tension from scene too early and
not releasing the tension, not you don't release the tension.
And one of them that he was very big on
was not exhaling at the start of a line, Yeah,
because the audience will then exhale with you, and we
need the audience to be holding their breath the same

(51:46):
way you should be holding yours. And so in this
scene when Corey is sitting there talking with Phoenie and
he's like, I've made my you know, Phenie asks him,
so that's it, that's your final decision, You've made it,
and then Ben goes he didn't mean any harm by it,
you know, just kind of like leans back in the chair,
and all of a sudden, I was like, Corey's not
worried anymore. Corey's not I didn't even notice it. I

(52:08):
felt I felt the tension release, and instead of watching
it as like an audience member, I was like, I
can't believe Michael let him do that. I can't believe Michael.
Was it all over it? Don't sit back in the chair.
But that was my first thought was that I felt like, Um,
I did notice, maybe he's sitting back because he's already
made his decision, you know, like he's going to take
whatever he gets. So I can see what you're saying though,

(52:30):
But yeah, but I mean, in a way, it's like
the tension has been is Corey going to rat him
his friend or not? So when we know that he's
not that that part of the scene is over, He's
now going to sit back and take what what's going
to come to him. Um, but is that the tension
in the scene because multiple times Sean has asked throughout
the episode, did you rat on me? And Corey's answer

(52:51):
is always what do you think? And we the audience
are supposed to be with Sean and Corey of going, well,
Corey's never going to rat on shan On, So I wasn't.
I wasn't wondering as much whether or not Corey was
going to turn him in as much as I was wondering,
is Corey going to have to take suspension, what's the
what's his what's his punishment going to be for being

(53:13):
a good friend? So I see your point that, like,
in some ways, if that's what you're thinking, the tension
is he's made his decision and he's there to live
with it. But in my mind, the tension was always
how will he pay for this? So anyway, that was
just something I remember those lessons as well. Don't don't
exhale at the end of the scene, Yeah, because you
you would do occasionally, you would do something very dramatic

(53:34):
and you'd want to go like thank you line something
you feel like you're about to make admission before a monologue,
before a line. You don't exhale, don't walk and a laugh.
P words are funny, Yeah, they're always waiting funny. Rule
of threes ru threes. I thought this was probably my

(54:05):
favorite episode of the season so far, which is a
much on the third one. This is quintessential Boy meets
World in that it creates a dilemma a situation and
then leaves it like the dilemma remains right, like it's
not resolved. When the credit came up. I was like that,

(54:29):
but the well, it's resolved in that Phoenie learned, Like
Phoenie comes to understand Corey's perspective, right, and and it's
about Phoenie changing, Phoenie growing, and Phoenie saying, well, I
know you as as a teacher. I still have to
punish you, but I know you as a neighbor, and
I respect your decision. Like that complexity and that willingness

(54:49):
to just uh sort of let the conflict ring on
is what makes Boy Meets World special because I feel
like a lesser show, a more immature know I will say,
or more sort of kid base show, would resolve the
conflict with some sort of uh situation, you know, something
would happen, someone else would like maybe Joey would get

(55:10):
in trouble for having adjusted the and and take the
fall for everything, or like there would be some sort
of D s X mocking a factor that would like
release the situation and we wouldn't have this problem. And
instead it leaves. It puts the onus on Phoene to
have to decide what to do, and he decides to
still punish Corey, which is great, but also respect Corey's

(55:33):
decision to not write out his friend. I just love
that that nothing has actually changed, right like Sean did
the thing. And then we just spent an entire episode
discussing it and coming at it from all these different angles,
and we we've had all these fun conversations and debates
and the tension is there, but we didn't have to
resolve it. We could still sort of come at it
with with complexity. And that that's like the you know,

(55:56):
I guess that's the best thing about point It's world.
That's the thing that I'm most proud of you've been
involved with. It's like that these these these lessons are
not tidy, they still have value because we still have
to We can still watch this episode and not feel
completely comfortable one way or the other. Interesting. Yeah, I
love it, the nuance, the Yeah, I completely agree with

(56:18):
you there. It's uh, it's it's Phoenie and Corey the
relationship at its absolute best. Um. So, Phoenie to your point.
Phoenie says that being special is equality from within. As
an example, it's like how Corey is standing up for
his friend, and Phoenie says Corey um as Corey's teacher
and someone who has watched him grow up next door.
He never expected him to rat out his friend, which

(56:39):
is really great. And then we're in the school hallway.
I really did think it was gonna end, and I
was like, oh my gosh, we're not even gonna find
out what the punishment. But then we do find out
in the school hallway. Mr Phoenie's Corey is not suspended,
but he does have detention for five days and one
for each letter in Weenie and Phoenie closes the door
to see Sean standing behind it and behind it and

(57:00):
says Weenie should have been spelled W E and I E.
Sean assumes Corey ratted him out, but Mr. Phoenie says
Corey refused to tell on him. Phoeny says the punishment
for not being caught is way worse than what Corey has,
So Phoeny says he will be watching. Why are you eating?
I'm like eating a chocolate par or something. I thought

(57:24):
you had. Okay, I thought you were changing the door again.
I thought you had something like a cap or something
in your mouth. The door was open or I thought, yeah,
I thought maybe you were were interesting. I thought it
was like a paint thing. Yeah, I'm gonna have to
watch that again. I thought I thought it was like
eating something or like. I don't know, though, I was

(57:44):
just like, why am I sitting there? Oh? So I
was adjusting the door? That makes more sense. God, I
think the door was open. You were hiding behind it,
and you had like a like the this isn't what
you have in your mouth because it's bigger than that,
but like the pen cap in your mouth where you're
fixing the door. Um. But so, I don't know. Maybe
it was the scrape like a scraper and a racer.

(58:06):
I don't know. I will go back and we will
all go back and figure it out. Um, because that
will that will send your emails, the emails that are
about more important things than what was in your email.
We'll just watch it again. We'll edit it. I promise,
we'll put it in the caption that we know what
it is now. Um. So, Phoenie says he's going to

(58:27):
be watching Shawn's every move for the rest of high school,
which Phoenie could says could be decades. Um yep, And
then Sean asks Corey frantically, why didn't you turn me in?
And that's the end of our episode. I'm glad we
all felt the same way that this is like Okay,

(58:47):
I like this, We're here. I feel like, okay, episode three,
Let's see how this, how this plays out, Let's see
this how this goes. It's definitely a new show. But
now I've I have two other episodes before that I've
like have definitely just plunged us into the cold end
um and so our next episode that we will be
recapping a season two episode four. Me and Mr. We

(59:08):
just got something from super fan Eastern Ally it's a
candy bar, says it's a candy bar. Yeah, that's what
I thought. I'm eating a candy bar for no other reason.
And I think it was maybe funny that I'm like
caught eating, right, It was so weird. I was just like,
was that something that would have been in the st
or like, did they I don't know such a I

(59:30):
don't think I would have been nervous eating because you
don't know what's going to happen. But you're nervous eating
because you don't know if Corey's gonna wrat you out
or not? Maybe or did did anyone notice when they
walk out Corey and Feeny when they walk out of
the office. Does he fly open the door as they
walk out? Were you supposed to be on the other
side of the door anxiously waiting for Corey? And then
he flies open the door and you kind of get
shoved back there with the candy bar in the bar?

(59:52):
Is that what we're supposed to have imagined happened? I
think it's just sugar. I think it's just the like
emphasize that I've been caught listening or that I've been
caught doing something, but I'm like halfway eating and I'm,
you know, stuck with a candy bar in my mouth. Um,
it's a bizarre I guess it's your version of eating

(01:00:14):
popcorn while the dramas going on exactly exactly. M M
all right, it's probably too late for a note for them.
But the the funnier joke would have been an empty
glass against the door, and then when the door opens,
you pretend to be drinking from the empty glass. That's
the funnier Like I was listening, but probably too late
to change that. Now let's just go back we could
