Speaker 1 (00:18):
I I'm trying to bring back two phrases, and I
need your help.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
No, stop trying to make that happen.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
No, I don't even know what that is. We did
this already, didn't We wasn't not a thing.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I've got the movie. Do you want to bring back
I've got the boom.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
I want to bring back Cat's pajamas and Bee's knees.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I say all the time, Well, but nineteen twenties.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, I say that all the time, do you. Yeah,
I really do.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I also help me.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, it's very easy.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
But I also can help you.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
I say those things, but I also will say things like,
well if I had my druthers, and so I love
I love all these.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, writer, I don't mind to remember you and having
phrases from your childhood well around.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yes, oh my god, I'll never forget. Will when you
when you finally made it to Sebasta bull By Hometown,
that's the first thing you did when you stepped out
of the car.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
You screamedrofty.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
But no. That is a perfect example of why you
can't force language like phrases like the only the only
way things they happen organically. You can't like like if
I was around. If I was hanging out with you
and you were like, man, that's just the cat's pajamas,
I would be like, oh, that's so put on right
all the time, but maybe you really really do.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
I'll say it like, I'll be like, well, I don't know,
he thinks she's the bee's knees, Like you know, I'll
just I just throw it in or else. And you know,
I don't know. I don't know that cat's pajamas feels
as natural. I do say it occasionally, but bee's knees.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I I love saying.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
I didn't think I could love her respect you more.
Danielle and I do. We do because you're the cat's pajamas.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
It's not quite as cool as Riz, but you know
we're working on it. Can you explain for our dear
listeners who are now all going to be using strofty bright,
can you please explain what strofty bright?

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I have no idea, well I do. This was my
one of my old friends. I'm still good friends with Ocean.
He said it one day. I don't know what we
were doing. He was like, Oh, that's so cool, that's
strafty bright. I don't know what we were he was
referring to or what. But I was like, what did
you just say? And he said, strofty bride, I don't know,
And he had just made up this word to describe

(02:27):
something as really cool, and so we started saying it
to you know, and I decided, I guess that I
was going to introduce this to the vocabulary, and so
I started saying it on this set.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
I can't force season one exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's the boy.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
We couldn't make Strofty break stick.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
So you guys still lessly made fun of me for
trying to introduce strafty Bride into.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
Also, like we've joked, writer hates the Genevia Brieves, Like
I remember conversations about writer being like, no, no one
calls it san fran can't call it San Fran.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
No, it's probably Frisco because everybody, OK, yeah, but Frisco.
But it's just notorious a non San Franciscans call it Frisco.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
But you also don't like gualwk.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
I don't like, I hate. I'm hand. If you're Australian
or English, I'll take brecky although, but if you're not,
if you're American, no, don't say this.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Nothing makes me viscerally angry, like hearing the word delish, I.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Agree when you said it now, I really It's also
my thing with like abbreviations is it's just really not
that much less delish.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
It's just the the US is.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
A kado kado is what's stopping you from finishing this.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Isn't it weird that, like, of all the like phrases,
dude has stuck around as much as it has, Like,
dude's been around I think since like the the a
teen but like when we were okay, so we were teenager,
like rad was still okay to say, but that didn't
stick around. But you like is now in everything we say,
like all the time, even if you're not just from
California and like it and like dude. And the thing

(04:16):
about dude is like now at this point, like basically
my wife and I have to stop each other from
calling each other.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Dude, right right, because what you call everybody?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Everybody? Hey listen, dude.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah, yeah, it's true. I think didn't that start with
the cowboys? Wasn't that a cowboy thing?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I think it was ranch?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, So I think that's I think that's the genesis
of that word. But I mean it's the beast knees.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Don't do it, man, don't do it.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Do you think any of our listeners do you think
any of our listeners noticed that Dedie di Stefano had
an English accent on just one word we got you did.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Can't you can't? Can't You have to be clear what
you're saying?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Writer?

Speaker 4 (05:02):
No?

Speaker 7 (05:02):
No?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Oh yes. I was like, what I can't do that?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, I can't.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
And she used to laugh at herself about it. She'd
be like, I know it's my.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
Thing, but do you remember David Combs, My my one
of my favorite things about David Combs was that he
also had some English phrases because his wife was English.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
David Combs studio teacher, David.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
Combs the reason any of us have a brain in
our head. And I had, you know, Easter. We used
to get Easter baskets, apparently all the way up until
I was way old to be getting Easter baskets because
I was on Boys World as a teenager. But I
came back from from Easter break and was we were
talking about what we did. Yes, the Easter Bunny brought

(05:47):
me a bathing suit, as the Easter Bunny did every
Easter because it was feeding into summer. So in my
Eastern rescue, my easter bunny would give me a bathing suit,
and Jesus.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Obviously after three days, gave you a bathing suit.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
So I told David Combs and I got a bathing
suit and he said, oh, you got avolving costume.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
And I was like, sure, evolving costume.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
I've never called him evolving costume, but I have never
gotten over it.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
I will now only refer to bathing suits as bolving costumes.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
This is also the person who said, oh, you're attracted
to power when you said you like David Letterman, Yeah,
And I was like, David Combs was the king of
the one liners that could devastate you or change your life.
And just like he would just say things and walk away.
Remember you would always be eating popcorn. Yeah he's just
sitting there eating popcorn and he couldn't okay. So David

(06:52):
was just a genius. His IQ was like through the roof.
He spoke seven languages, and he would just have these
moments where he would say something he was so he
was so confident and so cocky about his intelligence and
he had no problem just being the smartest person in
the room and letting everybody know it, which led to
some pretty hysterical encounters. I have so many memories. I

(07:14):
actually went to England and France with him between I
guess probably the break after this season. It was between
second and third. Yeah, I spent We spent three weeks. Yeah. Well,
we went and his mother in law because his wife
was from England, so we stayed with his mother in
law outside of London. But then we went to France.
All the French workers were on strike, which is surprising,

(07:34):
so we couldn't go to any of the museums because
the Ministry of Culture went on strike while we were there,
so we were stuck in France with nothing to do.
But yeah, I mean he was just amazing and we
went and saw We saw like two plays a day.
I saw my first ballet I saw. Yeah, he was
such a huge influence on my life. But man, he
would say these things.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
France isn't known for their museums.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yeah, I love the idea of culture strike. By the way, cultures. Well,
welcome to Pod meets Cat's Pajamas. I'm Danielle Fischel.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
I'm riders Strafty, bright, strong, and I'm the Besnys for now. Yes,
it's coming back people.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Oh, we are so happy to welcome back our friend
and trusted mister turner, Tony Quinn to the show. He's here,
ready to recap with us. Let's welcome Tony Quinn.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yay, show up with a tie on.

Speaker 8 (08:58):
Going? Well, I'm much better now than I'm here.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yay.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
So we are going to recap an episode with you,
which I am so excited about. But we we did
have two things we wanted to bring up to you
since the last time you were here. First is that
we got a lot of emails about this. When we
interviewed you, you said you had two favorite memories from

(09:25):
the show. We talked about your first, and then we
all just kept talking and we never got to your second.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
First, what was his first favorite memory?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Well, let's let's play the clip. I have a clip
for you.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
Okay, my favorite memory of the show I can watch.
There's two of them and it's a tie. The first
one is the scene where you're trying to get Danielle
and you're hiding in the couch.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
That was it.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
That was it?

Speaker 7 (09:57):
Okay, okay, okay, yeah, I are we talking about my
favorite like moments from the show that.

Speaker 8 (10:05):
That okay, Uh.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
My second favorite moment was probably the episode where you
guys there's a murderer. Oh yeah, yeah, the scream episode
and uh it was you guys were all in the
hall and it was Will was there and he came

(10:29):
in and screamed and he's like, oh my.

Speaker 8 (10:31):
Ball, somebody gives it back to me and he goes, oh.

Speaker 7 (10:38):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
And the most Will thing that.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
Was the Those two moments for me were hilarious. So
you guys all together like that, absolutely hilarious.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
Okay, good well, everyone was dying to know that we okay,
we have a real tendency to just run right over it.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
Okay, I have another one for you, Tony. This is
from the episode Sister Teresa. During the recap, we noticed
a very funny reaction from you. It's a sound basically,
and Will said he thinks it might even have been
like an inside joke between the two of you, and

(11:24):
that what you said the way you said it may
have been a reference to a movie or a TV
show or something.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
So let me play the clip for you.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
And there's there's a little bit of a setup from
Joey Durrat letting you know, someone may have messed with
your bike.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
You you missed a Turner.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Yeah, jennetbub wants to see you down in the parking
lot someone about his truck running over your motorcycle my bike.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
This was just a little did you not do? Like
the Kurt Russell right there?

Speaker 8 (12:00):
I think it was something to do with that you touch.

Speaker 9 (12:03):
Me and.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Exactly it was. I knew it when we recapped it.
I was like, Tony did that for me? Was one
take that was just for me? Okay?

Speaker 4 (12:18):
I Oh, I knew it.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
I knew it.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh man, I love it. I love it. Okay.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
So, lastly, going deeper into season two, we have noticed
what we are lovingly referring to as Turner's ties. It
seems like every episode you have a more outlandish, like
almost spray painted tie.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Do you free like three an episode?

Speaker 5 (12:48):
Do you remember anything about the ties? Did you and
Sarah talk about them? How much input did you have?
Tell us everything you can about the Turners ties.

Speaker 7 (12:56):
I didn't really have any input. I just kind of
I just kind of took what she gave me. So
each particular tie was like more outlandish or more crazy.
I was like, hey, I'm just gonna go with it.

Speaker 8 (13:10):
Why not? Like what the heck?

Speaker 2 (13:11):
So cool?

Speaker 3 (13:12):
So it was never a conversation. You were never like
she never said we're going to do this as.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
A oh wow, that's so loud because it's.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
So clearly a bold choice. Every time it's like really bold.

Speaker 9 (13:23):
And did you decide on the enormous belt buckles or
was that also Sarah?

Speaker 7 (13:28):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (13:28):
That was that was just all Sarah just doing what
she does. And I'm like, hey, I dig it. I
love this.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
I love that we all, almost all of us to
a person, was that way with wardrobe? Is that interesting?

Speaker 4 (13:40):
We were all just like I don't know, well, where
whatever you tell us to.

Speaker 7 (13:44):
Whatever, because I have no fashion sense. I mean, I like, he's.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Such an after thing. It's so fun.

Speaker 8 (13:52):
Yeah, I have no idea what works what doesn't work.

Speaker 7 (13:55):
So it's like I rely on them to give me
whatever they give me, and I just hope it looks
good on me.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
But I'll talk too.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
I like to think that it's because we know that
we've worked with so many people that whoever is the
head of their department is really good at.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
What they do. Yeah, so it's like, I don't I
don't know anything about you for.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
But I got so screwed by that mentality as an
actor because really because on a show like Boym's World,
that was certainly the case, like we were, we had
the best makeup and hair people ever. You know, these
people not only were great at the like the actual
application of their job, they had an amazing taste that
was partly wonder why they were hired. It's because they
were up on trends. They knew what was happening. When

(14:35):
you're doing an indie film in North Carolina in two
thousand and four and they've hired like the local hairstylist
to be the haircutter, you can't trust that person. And
like I've had so many I walked into so many
situations as an actor being like, oh no, they'll make
me look good and guess what they did. They they
don't know what they're doing. And so it's very helpful

(14:56):
for actors to have their own sense and to know
when to step in and when to step back, and
like on a show like Boy metsor we had top
notch Hollywood experts, but like on so many other situations,
I've been and they didn't know what they were doing,
and I would be screwed by having that sort of
like shave my face, do whatever, make me look, you know,
I had.

Speaker 7 (15:15):
I had one situation like that where I was on
the TV show.

Speaker 8 (15:18):
I can't remember which show it.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Was, Yeah, it was it was a network show.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
Really.

Speaker 7 (15:28):
I sat in the trailer and the guy did my
hair and like you rider, like you say, just hey,
do whatever you want to do.

Speaker 8 (15:35):
And when he was done.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
I looked in the mirror and I was like, there's
no way I I'm gonna go on camera with this hair.

Speaker 8 (15:43):
Dude, I don't know what you've done.

Speaker 7 (15:46):
But I just basically said, hey, thanks a lot, and
I went back into my trailer and I redid the
whole thing, because I.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Know you have to. There are times I walked. I
walked out of the trailer onto the set with my
fellow actors, and two of the lead actors in this
movie looked at me and just burst out laughing. Stop laughing.
And then when they realized that I was that that
that that that was serious. There was not a wig
that but that I actually they were like no, they

(16:12):
it was like we need to fit, like this is
a problem. Actually, those two actors ended up leaving the
film like two days later. They abandoned the film, and
I stayed I should have left with them. But yeah,
the haircut was that bad. It was like just instant
laughter then complete concern, like, oh god, righter, that's for real,
you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh oh Wowrie, I.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Want to see this movie. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Well, let's go ahead and jump into our recap. We
are going to recap season two, episode sixteen, Danger Boy.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
What are you shaking your head for?

Speaker 9 (16:47):
Will?

Speaker 4 (16:47):
I hated this episode? Oh my god, I couldnot predict
you know what? How did you hate this episode?

Speaker 3 (16:55):
I did not.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
I know why you hated this because of Rusty and
Betsy's story.

Speaker 9 (16:59):
You know that actually didn't that wasn't that? That was
okay to me.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
I felt like for myself, for my own acting in
this episode, I have taken three steps way backwards. And
it's because, oh, and I think it was because I
did so well in the last episode with the with
the hair cutting that now I'm reaching for it. So
I was pushing all these moments that just weren't there,
and I'm watching this going like this is awful.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
So yeah, I didn't. I oh, I was. I was
uncomfortable this entire episode perform, But you're.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Okay with everything, like storyline wise or the.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Storyline of of I loved seeing well, we'll get into it,
but I love seeing Corey and Feenie back together again,
and like all that.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Stuff felt right.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
At the Betsy and Rusty stuff, I'm now just going, Okay,
that's where they're throwing them and I hate that. I'm
not going to bring it up anymore. It's just bad
sitcom trope. But the but no, I love the rest
of it was great. I just my performance I could
not get over. I just I felt like I was
trying to swing for the fence every time.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Like, oh, I can make it funny, and it just
never worked.

Speaker 8 (18:03):
Yeah, I have to disagree. I just watched it yesterday
because I wanted this to be fresh. Now.

Speaker 7 (18:10):
I don't know if this is your guys' experience, but
I think I watched this episode when it first aired,
but it's been so long that it was literally like
I was watching it for the first time.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
That's exactly right, and.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
This is I mean, we'll talk about this, but Will
and I always talk about how we never worked together.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
This is a Sean and Eric storyline.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Neither of us remember, like, yes, together all the time,
and like this whole storyline with you, Tony, I don't
obviously I wasn't there for it, but I didn't remember it.
I remember the roller coaster, I remember to ask it,
but I didn't remember why it was there, like or
any any aspect of the storyline. I just remember Ben
getting hurt unfortunately.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll get into.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
That, all right, so let's jump in.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
The synopsis is that Corey and mister Feenie are fed
up with being considered safe and boring, so they decide
to find their dangerous sides. It was directed by David Traynor.
It was written by Glenn Mercer, and it guest stars
Monni Hoffman as Chubby, who's a new actor, Kathy Kinney

(19:22):
as Rifkin. She was Mimi from The Drew Carey Show,
but this was before she was on Drew Carey.

Speaker 8 (19:29):
I remember that.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
And then McNally's Segal as Tricia Stone, Heidi Lucas as Kim.
She's Dina from salute your shorts, and then the first
appearance of Mina Suvari as Laura. Mina Suvari play a
different character.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
She was Oh, I thought she only did this one.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
No, she was in.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
She was in another episode. She'll come back later. And
then we have Terry Crisp as Elvis, Philip Simon as Rodique,
and Harley Zumbrum as Swindl. I thought it was interesting
that we had a real life Harley on the set,
not a Harvey, not a Harvey, but a Harley.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
So to recap, we jump into the Matthew's living.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
I'm sorry, did you already say when this episode aired?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
I did not, Wow, I didn't know anybody paid attention
to those things.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
When did you get here?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
I'm just trying to figure out when, because I feel
like Mina was was on an episode in like right
around my sixteenth birthday, and I'm trying to remember that
would have been ninety six, so she was Was she
in like the next episode or was it?

Speaker 5 (20:33):
No, this episode originally aired February third, nineteen ninety five,
so you have like around a whole year possibly, or
maybe if she was around your birthday, you would have been.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Turning December December. Yeah, it would have been December of
this ninety.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
Five, right, So she was going to come back later
for the next season, probably season season three. Sorry everybody,
I will never forget the date it originally aired. Maybe
I already said it and I don't know, but I
feel bad. So we opened the show with Eric making
out with Kim and I just the scene opened and

(21:09):
I went, who is this?

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Who's Tim?

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Me too? And we're like making out on the couch?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, didn't remember that at talking about kissing,
talking about kissing and just all that kind of stuff,
and it started my performance.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
I was like, Okay, I'm easing into it.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
This is good.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
Yeah, we'll get into it. But yeah, it was I.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Thought it was great.

Speaker 5 (21:32):
The two of you were trying to focus on studying
for a test. I thought it seemed very natural that
you were getting distracted with each other. Eric says they'll
have more time to kiss on Saturday, but Kim says
she has to spend time with her younger cousin who's
out of town. Coming in from out of town, Eric
suggests they double date with Corey, who is also thirteen,
just like Kim's cousin. Eric says Corey is mature for

(21:52):
his age, and right then Corey runs in and pretends
he's a fountain as he spits water out of his
mouth with one leg up.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
He said he was.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Also carrying potato chips. I was wondering why.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
I guess it just makes it funnier for his hands
to be full, Like, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (22:08):
And I can understand. I think they're trying to include
the reality of why was he in the kitchen? Why
is sewn upstairs? So he ran to the kitchen to
get hip a snack and then realized he was a fountain.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
But I actually thought the fountain bit was very It
was very funny.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
It was very funny.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
No one cleans up the water.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
But also why would he go through the livery like
we keep coming through.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
I mean, obviously Sean comes here to check out the
makeout session, but like there's stairs out of the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
So I guess he wanted to show them. The thing
that I love is the way that Ben performed it.
You could tell he was in the kitchen and he
had discovered this thing. I know, like he had obviously
been in there and he was like, oh wait, I
could be a fountain and also changes dad it was disgusting, like.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
This is something my son would do now eight And
I'm like, dude, that's disgusting. Stops it.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
So Corey says he has to show Sean. He runs out.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Eric changes his mind and says never mind, and then
he says, I'll hook your cousin up with the squeegee
guy from the gas station down the street.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
By the way, is that kid thirteen?

Speaker 9 (23:16):
I know?

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, I don't know, squeegee guy. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
There's a lot of strange words in this episode. Squeegee
that's always a funny word.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Strange stuff.

Speaker 7 (23:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
Kim says they can get together in two weeks once
her cousin leaves she's visiting for a long time.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yeah, in the middle of the school year, like you do.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
But Eric says he'll talk to Corey. He'll make sure
he's in line for the date. Sean then comes downstairs
and Kim asks if he's also thirteen, because her cousin
would have a really good time with him, and Eric
says he doesn't want to ditch Corey because he's his blood,
but then Kim kisses him and Eric says Sean has
blood guys, why does this show act like certain kisses

(24:02):
are more powerful than unmagicalorceled by.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Her lyrics to no longer scala?

Speaker 7 (24:13):
Does that go along with squeegee? Well, she did throw
you back onto the couch, so that had something to do.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
With I guess yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
I guess it was the force of being pushed against
it and then and then a kiss.

Speaker 8 (24:27):
Yeah, anybody does that to me. I'm going to reconsider
what I was just thinking.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
I guess maybe, okay, okay.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
I I remember it being that, like we would do
these things and it would be like we're making out,
we're making out, we're making out, and then like one
thing would change, like I put my hand on your shoulder,
and now it's like, wow.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
The world is over. Here's my bank account?

Speaker 3 (24:49):
What? What?

Speaker 4 (24:50):
What is happening.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
It's a weird setup for this whole thing. I don't
know why, Like Sean walking through gets more attention because
I'm being respectful, because I'm like, oh, I'm just just here,
you know, whereas Cory is being a fountain. Like it's
kind of weird, like the fact that Eric's dating life
is tethered to like Sean's desirability is it's a very
weird thing.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Ye agree.

Speaker 9 (25:14):
And also they needed you separate so you weren't tainted
by the fountain, because why wouldn't they just come out
of the kitchen together.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
But then it's one's supposed to look like a little
kid while the other's supposed to look like he's a
little more adult.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
And the irony is that, like, if you think about
Corey and Sean, Cory is clearly the more mature.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah, Sean is the one who.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Would love the fountain. He would like be doing the
fountain over and over again. But I guess when it
comes to girls, you know, Corey.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
They also the title of the pieces danger boy, and
they do nothing to show that Sean is dangerous even slightly.
It's not like you came down and lit a cigarette,
you know what I mean. It's like you're actually want
to get some soda.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
That would make sense if I was doing something a
little like risky or like right showing that I was
more of a rebellious teenager than exactly.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Which I guess.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
To that point, the fact that you came down and
just admitted I'm actually only down here because I heard
you were smoking hot and I wanted to check you
out is kind of a little.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Does it, ye, kind of does it.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's a little mature and risky.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
But I heard that he was she was smoking hot
because Corey told me she was smoking hot.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
So yeah, I love I love the line.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Okay, as you were as you were, as you were?

Speaker 8 (26:34):
Sure? Yeah, yeah, that actually made me laugh.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
That was fun. That's funny.

Speaker 5 (26:48):
So then we were in the school hallway and by
the way, Will, I didn't recognize a single background actor
I did except for Ricky in this first when the
first shock, when they opened and there were people crossing,
I was like, I don't know those people. And I'm
saying this Tony because Will commented I have seen the

(27:08):
same seven background in this all the way.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Will's pissed off that people had consistent jobs. Can we
you know, a different eye, Candy, I mean, come up
a little bit.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
It was like, yeah, Tony, did you ever get to
know any of our background actors?

Speaker 8 (27:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (27:32):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, because when we were just kind of
hanging around waiting for between takes, we would talk and
I would always, you know, have something to say to him.

Speaker 8 (27:40):
So yeah, they were all very recognizable, although I don't.
I look at him and I go, who are those people.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
Well, we there are few that we really know, like
the regulars. And then I actually was like, wow, these
are not oli ore you. And then once we got
to the downstairs part and Ricky was in the back,
I was like, Okay, now I know some of these people.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
But at the open the one girl who I see
all the time, who she and I used to talk
all the time, with the big hair. She's a shorter
girl with the big hair, and she was very sweet.
I can't unfortunately can't remember her name, but she and
I used to talk quite a bit.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Okay, very nice people. I just I think there's.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
That guy, the black guy.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Is he like, he's got really short short hair.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
He was super nice to you, I think.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
I was like, I think it was another super nice
guy and one of our consistent.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Actors, like good performers, so he was always figured prominently
and yeah, and it was it was so weird to
have his name like flash in my head. I was like,
Ron Ron, but I hope i'm.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Rider, will say, Rider will say, I have no memory
for anything, and then a month later, remember the.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Most obscure thing that will true.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
It's like where the French background actor was born?

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Like are you kidding me.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
It's like, what, Well, it's all coming back, you know.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
You see the juices start flowing.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Sounds right round. I think it was wrong.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
So we see mister Feenie who walks by reminding mister
Turner of a faculty advisor meeting at four o'clock. Mister Turner,
who clearly makes fun of the meeting, says he doesn't
want to go.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Do you remember this scene, Tony?

Speaker 7 (29:16):
I do not.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Do you remember any.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Of this episode?

Speaker 7 (29:23):
I will get to it, but the only thing I
have is a takeaway from this episode has to do
with the roller coaster. Ye.

Speaker 8 (29:31):
But yeah, I look at myself and I go, I
know that's me.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, but I don't.

Speaker 8 (29:37):
I don't remember it.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
It's like watching somebody else, isn't it. It's like watching
somebody else. Yeah, it's weird.

Speaker 8 (29:43):
Yes, Why why is that?

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Because it was just another another day work?

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah? You were probably more concerned about what you and
Will we're going to do for lunch than like you.
I mean, also, I feel like you and Bill had
so many of these scenes that were just the two
of you, or the two of you and like other
guest cast. In the later scene, which is which probably
you guys spent like five minutes rehearsing because you were

(30:10):
the pros, like you know, it was like you just
buzzed through and like we we wouldn't have been around
for that. So you guys probably rehearse like you'll sit here,
you'll sit here. You did it once and then you
forgot about it, you know, like yeah, yeah, it's so
cool because I don't remember any of these storylines and
I just love the Phoenie Turner dynamic. Yeah, so fun. Yeah,
especially at this point in the season, you guys have

(30:32):
sort of become like a I was thinking about, like
the you guys are kind of like the Greek gods
of the of the show, Like you know, like we're
the students like flailing around, and then you guys are
like the authority figures to kind of know like whether
to step in or not constantly, and so you're kind
of like having these assigns to each other like throughout
the season like should we fix this, No, let's let

(30:52):
the kids figure this out. And then you're also debating
amongst each other like when do we like when do
we go in or who's right. It's a cool dynamic.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, did Bill joke around with you a
lot in real life, Like while you guys were doing
these scenes, did you did you and Bill have kind
of a jokey, fun relationship?

Speaker 7 (31:10):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (31:10):
Yeah, sometimes we did. He was he was kind of,
you know, just kind of all business about it.

Speaker 7 (31:15):
But if we if I would throw something out there,
he would joke back to me and we would laugh
a little bit, and then he would make comments about
some of the other storylines or something, so we would
have a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (31:26):
So Phoene says, uh, Turner has no choice, and he
calls him mister Picky.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
A beautiful roos.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Yeah, did you love it?

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I did love it?

Speaker 4 (31:37):
I love it absolute?

Speaker 8 (31:38):
Yeah, don't remember it? And do you remember that tie
at all?

Speaker 5 (31:43):
Well, you had so many of them, I could find
it hard to believe you'd ever remember any of them. Nearby,
Eric asks Sean if he wants to go on a
double date with him Kim and Kim's cousin. Sean asks, well,
what about Corey, and Eric gets defensive, saying he definitely
asked his brother, what do you think of me?

Speaker 2 (32:00):
And Sewan answers, I don't think anything of you.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
We don't talk to each other exist.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
I know it's very strange, but we this is now
what the nineteenth episode we've been together where we're it's
like we rider and I would always.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
Say we never worked together.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
We had like one scene together, and then throughout the
first season we worked together a bunch.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Now the second season, we've got other things.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
It's like, what show were we watching where we thought
we never worked together?

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Because we did.

Speaker 8 (32:26):
And I said the same thing.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
I said the same thing about you and I Will,
where I was thinking we hardly had any scenes together.
And then when I watched this show, I was like, wait,
I don't remember that.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
I remember one thing that we'll get to, which we'll
get to later, which is which is such a Tony
Will moment.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
And it was just for us and we were just
entertaining each other, but it was it was great. But no,
this is where my acting to me, this scene going
up to Sean, and it was like.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Oh, I just I haven't had trouble with my acting
in a while now, and this one I found a
little Wow.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Yeah, it was not a fan of my performance in
this episode.

Speaker 8 (33:04):
No, I did not. I did not.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
That's very sweet.

Speaker 8 (33:06):
Did at all.

Speaker 7 (33:07):
And I would say it if I if I really
felt like, yeah, you were not on your I don't know,
but I didn't feel that way at all.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Yeah, I mean, I'll come back to Earth will. It's
just not super funny, you know what I mean, Like
it's not that.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
Great, like trying to force the comedy.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
So I'm like, I'm pushing it because I got so
many laughs in the last episode and.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
That became like a thing that now I'm trying to
find them.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
So I'm pushing too hard to make something that isn't
there and that and I see it on screen where
I'm just.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Like, oh, dupe, just push.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
It's like that kid in you know, the eighth grade
school play who's like, I'm going to take over the play.
Like that's kind of what it seemed like to me
for this episode.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
It just it hurt a little bit to watch this one.

Speaker 7 (33:46):
But see for me as I just with fresh eyes
on the episode like I'd never seen it before. The
overriding theme from this from the very first moment to
where you're trying to fix up Corey and she doesn't
want to have anything to do with them, so you
know you've kind of done something bad. Sure, So it's
kind of a heavy moment where you feel like you've
kind of let your brother down, so you're trying to

(34:08):
be that Hey, Hey, I'm funny.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Hey make up with me.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Yeah, that's how at the end.

Speaker 8 (34:14):
But I felt like it played that way throughout the
whole episode though you were in trouble the whole episode.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yeah, your tie was was was a better performer in
this one than I was.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Did you know what is my hand rubbing? As we
walk away from Oh yeah, what am I doing? Sean
got he acted, I'm excited, get to make up with girls?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
It's so dumbs well.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Sean asks what the cousin looks like and Eric says
she's l McPherson with Cindy Crawford's mind.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
Nothing.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 8 (34:54):
I got nothing.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
Sean realizes Eric hasn't seen her. Eric says he's paying,
and Sean has then a hundred.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Shawn's poor.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
So then we are in the school cafeteria for the
teachers meeting. Ms.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
Rifkin played by Kathy Kinney asks mister Turner if he
could advise the senior ski trip, and she does it
in a very flirty manner, and he says, only if
you come with me, and she giggles and gives him
the job.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Oh, Tony, do you remember do you remember working with
her at all?

Speaker 7 (35:31):
I remember, I remember working with her, but I don't
remember that scene and especially that line. I don't remember that.
I do remember. I do remember working with her though,
because I remember when later on when she was on
the Drew Carry Show, I was like, that's.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
The that's the show, right, So yeah.

Speaker 8 (35:51):
I remember that. I just don't remember that line.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
What's right now?

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Are we in the cafeteria?

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Cafeteria?

Speaker 5 (35:57):
By the way, one of the clubs on the whiteboard
is Scuba Club, which is a nice little throwback to
season one.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
But we don't have a fool.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
I also, I also asked Sue because she went to
a high school just like this, and there is at
least during football season, there is a pep rally every week. Oh,
so that's why the signs are always up, because every
single weeks there.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Is That makes sense.

Speaker 5 (36:21):
Okay, So mister Feoene is automatically given the role to
advise the chess club, and mister Feoenie asks why it's
a given that he will lead the chess club, just
because of the way he dresses and speaks. His little
sweater vest. He wants everyone to stop assuming things about him.
Turner moves for everyone to stop assuming anything and then says,

(36:41):
but you probably assumed I didn't.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
And then we're in the Matthew's kitchen. Amy comes home.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Tony does one of my favorite again, one of my
favorite deliveries.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
You have this certain delivery you give.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
You did it. You did it the first time you
did it, and I noticed it. I remembered it so well.
Was when you walked up to Corey during the school
dance and he had put on like tons of perfume
or something.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
You're like, Matthew, just smell good.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
And you've done that delivered. You do it here about
the sweater vests too. I forget exactly what you say,
but you say something to with it that you kind
of turn away and have this like a little side.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Like hey, George, n exactly.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
It's like you're saying the thing, but I don't believe
you're saying that. I love it. It's one of the best.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
Hey, Matthews, you smell smell good.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
You've done it like three times this season. I love it.
The sweater belt specific memory.

Speaker 7 (37:41):
I have a specific memory about I think it was
the one where you guys were making fun of of
George Phoenie's name and it was weenie Weenie or whatever. Yeah,
And I do that same thing to Corey when I
when I say something about what if what what?

Speaker 8 (37:55):
What if I called you booger or something like that?
Would you would you? Would you read? I don't know
how I feel.

Speaker 6 (38:03):
Yeah, exactly, yes, yeah, yeah, because how else do you.

Speaker 8 (38:14):
Make that line work?

Speaker 5 (38:18):
No, it's perfect too, because the other thing is that
you have to you have to thread the needle between
are you being a little sarcastic, but you would never
like outwardly disrespect him totally, And so it's a really
like it's the it's a perfect delivery for exactly what
you're trying to do.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
It's really super interesting because Turner can't be mean to Feoenie, right, right,
But there has to be conflict. There has to be
some conflict. You can't like, we would never accept Turner
on the show if he was fun yeah, like actually
undermined Phoenie's authority. It would be like, you know, or
made fun of me. So, but he is kind of threatening,
you know, it's a good dynamic.

Speaker 10 (38:55):
It's really good Tony, that was that a good delivery?

Speaker 3 (39:00):
It's a good scene.

Speaker 8 (39:04):
Trying to find a comedy.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
Yes, Amy comes home with the dry cleaning just as
Alan is off to his poker game. Amy sarcastically thanks
him for the compliment on her new hair because she
got a weave, and Alan goes with it, pretending he
notices until she says it costs a fortune. Then that

(39:26):
stops him in his tracks, and he wants to know
how much. Alan looks at her check book and sees
that it cost one hundred and thirty dollars. Alan asks
if that includes airfare, and Amy says, well, that's what
Rodique charges. Alan wants her to go back to this
rodeque and get her money back, and she pushes him
out the door for his poker night.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Hair obsession on our show. Just just want to note that.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Such a hair obsession storyline.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
I'm no longer going to bring up the Yeah, don't
Alan's worth it?

Speaker 4 (39:55):
It is what it is now.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
They are the typical stereotypical sick husband and wife, and
that's what it is.

Speaker 5 (40:02):
Well, after we interviewed David Kendall and he made it
very clear how many mandates from the network they had
for ways to age up the show. I guarantee you
this was a couple dynamic they wanted for them because
it was what was popular on other shows.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Probably, I guarantee you that's what it was. I also
think the next scene with them in the kitchen is
one of the coolest scenes ever. Performance was so which
was like at the end, were they yeah, yeah, well
two of them in the scene, but before the actual
poker night, but when the two of them have it's
just great, it's great, And that like won me over
to this whole story a lot. I was like, Okay,

(40:42):
you put Betsy and Rusty in anything, and they're entertaining,
so I'm fine.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
But yeah, Betsy's last moment here when she pushes him
out the door to and it almost is like a throway,
like yeah, I love you too.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Whatever that was. I mean, again, they're they're hitting the beats,
They're good. It's just the obligatory nature of the being exactly.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
I did like, actually liked that they said how much
money the haircut costs too, because when it first started happening,
and I was like, what it was like one hundred
and thirty sounds just about it, right, You're like, that
is really expensive and still today that seems pretty expensive
for a haircut, you know in ninety five, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (41:15):
Yeah, it was expensive.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (41:17):
Well, how else would you service those characters? I mean,
what else would you have them doing?

Speaker 9 (41:22):
Well, the thing that we we talked about is, like
the first season of the show, they were they weren't
the typical sitcom parents.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
They were like young hippies kind.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Of yeah, and you know, they the way they parented
was a little more out of the box.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
There were constantly scenes of them.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Which Riders has alluded to a bunch of times where
where they would be talking about, Okay, we don't really
know what we're doing.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
How do we parent through this? Yea?

Speaker 10 (41:45):
And it was very real and then but they had
such nutual respect too, right, Like that was the key
is that they always they weren't like even if they
had conflicts with one another, there was this level of like,
but we really understand one another and love one another,
and like there were.

Speaker 5 (42:01):
Also more storylines of like them with their shared interests,
and a lot of a conflict came between them and
their kids, like the power struggle of like oh my gosh,
can you guys just be old parents? And I'm going,
but we're not. We're young and cool. And so they
were like a team kind of against the children, and
and then of course sometimes the conflict would come up
and they would then have differing ways of handling that,

(42:22):
and so then they have to be like team, team, team,
look at us as a team.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
How do we bring us back as a team?

Speaker 5 (42:26):
And this feels like every time now the conflict is
I do man thing.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
You do woman thing.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
We do men and women things, and women and women things.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
We don't stand one another. Well, it's men are from
women are from vemalelage.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
Which, by the way, when did that book come out?
I wondered about this exactly. So that was just a
very popular It was the zeitgeist of male female dynamics
and TV and everything.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
So good version of it is the banded episode, right, yes,
where was that where it was like she's kind of
not supportive but also just doesn't get it. And then
where it comes back around it's because he really sucks
it singing ye, And that's right because then it's like
she's not supportive because she's can't be like she'd rather
much rather you know he'd just be him, and whereas
in this case it really is like poker night with

(43:13):
guys loses money doesn't make it.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
We've had a couple episodes now where it's just a
bunch in a row where it's kind of like, I'm
just a dumb guy and I'm I don't understand what's
going and.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
It's like, well, that wasn't what you guys were doing before, it.

Speaker 8 (43:25):
Was right, right. But I do like the fact that
I always loved the fact that Rusty and Betsy loved
each other.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (43:36):
Those characters loved each other and if there was ever
any kind of conflict, they always worked it out and
they always were best friends. Yeah, and they came to
get like that moment in the kitchen where they kiss
each other and they're laughing and joking. You could tell
you feel like these two people really do love each other. Yea.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
No, they always loved each other. They just didn't always
love Eric or Morgan.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
But that's okay. Yeah, And the fans of Corey Big
it's Corey's world exactly right.

Speaker 5 (44:04):
Oh my gosh, we are having so much fun with Tony.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
We're no dummies. If you've got him, keep them as
long as possible, so we're turning this into a two parter.

Speaker 5 (44:14):
The second part of this Danger Boy episode will be
released later this week. We Love you All, pod Dismissed.
