Speaker 1 (00:20):
I have something I want to pitch to you guys.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Okay, we've seen you pitch. You're good. I saw you
in Philly.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Not that kind of pitch. I thought you were going
to talk about like TV show pitching. I was like,
we've all pitched those together. So this came to me
the other day and I don't even know. Oh no,
I do know how it came to me when we
were thinking about a podcast name. Okay, okay, so I
have a long name. I have two last names. My

(00:50):
my legal name is Danielle Christine Fischel Carp that's a lot.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
I knew the middle name Christine Christine.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, and so wonderful that you say that Christine means
nothing to my family. The name means yeah, Like it's
not it's not a family name. I think it's just
I was named.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Hold on, your brother's name is.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Christopher, Christopher, right, so they just And by the way,
my dad's wife is Christine, so he is he is,
he has got in his in his world. So Christine
doesn't mean anything to me. My my parents could not
agree on a name when they were pregnant with me,

(01:32):
and then after I was born. My name came from
a Danielle Steel book that was literally on the on.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
The dresser in the hospital.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
My mom looked over and was like, what about Danielle,
And my dad was like, great, I love it. And
that's where Danielle came from. Okay, Christine doesn't really mean
anything to me, and my name is already long. When
I got married, I wanted to have Carp in my
name because I wanted to have the same last name
as my son's. But I when I direct, I go

(02:01):
by Danielle Fischel. When I'm doing things with my kids' school,
I just go by Danielle Karp. When I'm getting on
a flight, I have to have, you know, all my
names on there.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
And so you just told me your name is Mandy.
So you are your mixing stuff up all the time.
We don't even know what you're called. Don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
But what if I just save everyone at Google Search?
What if I changed my middle name to Topanga so
that I could also.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Just so you want to you legally take the name.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
To listen, I'm already being called to Penga all the time.
What if when I directed something, it just said directed
by Topega, like instead.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Of like share you want to be you want to
be I want to be share.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Can you retroactively get residuals for the episode of Boy
Meets World where it's at executive executive Penga go back
into that. That's funny. So you're just you're just thinking, like, embrace,
embrace the aspect of your life.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Are you being serious or is this a bit? I
guess this is not a bit.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
I'm dead serious because Chris, like I said, Christine doesn't mean.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Anything to me.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I already have a long name. I wouldn't do it
if it was going to be like Danielle Christine to
I just.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Had like a very clear vision that I have to
This is kind of off subject, but I want and
you know, the obey image like the I want that
with the face.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Can we just make that.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
The giants face. It's shepherd fairy. Shepherd Fairy created this
like infamy. I want that with that would be a
stencil I could start spraying everywhere anyway, A lot.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Of that idea, but I think all I would need
to do to legally do it. By the way, it also,
like I said, how I answer to it all the time.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Anyway, it doesn't.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Bother you in the slightest no, I want to slip
and call you to Panga you no. For example, when
somebody I'm like, okay, I'm not mad, I understand, but
I'm definitely not excited or like I'm willing to embrace it.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm like one of our really good friend's wives said
to me once, oh.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
My gosh, I didn't know you guys were going to
be here. It's so good to see you. Jensen gave
him a Huggin was like bye to Panga, was great
to see you, and literally then turned around and started
to walk away.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
And then she slow turned around and she was like,
oh my god, I can't believe I just did that.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
It's to me.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
It isn't about It's so much more memorable. It is
an absolute brand. It is a brand, and there's no
denying that, other than to Panga Canyon, which isn't as
well defined of a brand. If you have me, no,
my face is synonymous with that word, and I I

(04:54):
don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I'm just like, why not, just well, what you really
need to do? I mean, yeah, sure, change your name yourself,
but then y'all also need to like trademark to Panga.
Can you can you trade rand it? I don't know. Yeah,
like it's a it's a name. She should become to Panga, inc.
And yes, you should own has.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Has Jensen ever called you to Panga in bed?

Speaker 5 (05:18):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (05:19):
God, that's uh watched the show?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Jensen didn't watch the show so to like he had
only seen two episodes before this before we started the podcast,
and I and he may have even seen zero episodes.
Maybe he saw two episodes when before we started the podcast,
but only those two episodes after we started dating.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
He had never seen the show.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I've never seen the show. I thought Matthew Lawrence was
on the show the whole time. I thought he was
the second lead.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
Oh geez, I think matt was writer. Yeah, yeah, I'm
all for it for the joke. I mean, you just
like it for the bit I do.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I do.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
It's like, but I mean, that's you're that's it's you're
changing your name. You're legally changing your name.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I think I'd have to put it in the I
think i'd have to like put it in the newspaper.
I think part of legally changing your name is you
have to publicly announce it, Like I'm you.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Have to change all your documents.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
There's this thing as a newspaper. You have to publicly
announce you do.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
You have to publicly announce it.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Put it on a blog somewhere exactly.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
You can put it on the Internet whatever, but you
do have to like write it somewhere that Danielle Christine
Fisher Karp is now going to be known as Danielle
Topanga Fish.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
I think I'm going for myself.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'm going to do it with myself before you get there.
I'm going to trademark it myself. You have to buy
it for me, don't you will? Why don't you change
your name? How important is Alan? How important is Alan?

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Why don't you don't? Why don't you just become.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Four C for?

Speaker 3 (06:42):
I should?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
I should? That's what I should. Trademark is Will Will
FIHENI yes for Dell, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
No, Ill said Will set out loud like, oh, then
you have to change your name as if people don't
say it every day.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
It's already her name. And like Susan when we when
we got already talked about changing her last name to
my name, and I was like, she was.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Like, I don't know if I want to do. Just like, dude,
you don't have to do it. She's going to change
your passports. You got change its like I love you,
you love me, We get it.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
You don't have to change your name, so, I mean,
there's just a lot that goes in with having to
do it.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
That said, it's kind of worth the bit. But also,
your initials now are d c.

Speaker 4 (07:18):

Speaker 2 (08:45):
I'm Wilfordell.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
Never my gosh.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Jumping into today's recap, we are recapping season six, episode six,
Hogs and Kisses. It originally aired October thirtieth, nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
The synopsis.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
After a director casts Sean to play Tipega's boyfriend in
a promotional film, Corey is certain the duo or harboring
romantic feelings for one another. When he forces them to
go on a date and explore their emotions, things get
even more complicated. Meanwhile, Eric and Jack adjust their manners
for the sake of Rachel. This one was directed by
Jeff McCracken. It was written by David Brownfield, a new name.

(09:42):
He began his career as a writer on the Drew
Carey Show and a Tim Curry show called Over the Top.
But he went on to become the senior Vice President
of Current Programming at CBS, and he oversaw the development
of shows like CSI and Cis, The Good Wife, Big
Bang Theory, and How I Met Your Other And as
if that wasn't enough, he would go on to become

(10:03):
an executive producer at Dick Wolfe Entertainment and he led
the creative team first seven prime time series YEP.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
So before I jump into I'm sorry, I just.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Just quickly about Brownfield. You know, he he wasn't a
writer when he came on our show. He was our
ABC rep. Oh so ABC would center represent representative to
be on all the run throughs and all the stuff.
He was our ABC rep. And then he joined our cast,
joined our writers, which rarely happens.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, line.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
And then when I was watching, I was like, David Brownfield,
is that the same guy?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
And it's the same.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
We should totally have him on because he's kind of
in charge, like in charge of TV. Now.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
That would be wonderful if we could have him on.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, I him.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
We will reach out to him, see if he wants
to join us.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Before I jump into our guest stars who would like
to share their overall thoughts.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I went first last time rider, uh I.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
It's a It's a really mind melting episode for me,
Like just watching it, it was like, how did this come about?
Why is this here?

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Ben is so funny, so I don't care. I don't care,
Like Ben's just so funny. I think this is like
again like after last week, I'm like Ben's performances are
just making what is you know? And and it's also
and Corey right, it's also the Corey character. I love neurotics,
stressed out Corey and this is pure that. So I
was I was like, oh, I'm fine with that. The
Bet story is just to me, you know, kind of

(11:32):
a joke.

Speaker 9 (11:33):
At this point, it's like, why are you.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Even doing this? This is like kind of a waste set. Yeah,
so it's a bummer, but but no, it was fun.
You know, it's weird. It's a weird episode, and I
have all my personal feelings, which I'm sure you do
to Danielle, like why are they making us kissing? And
why is everybody gas like poor Corey about this terror?

Speaker 9 (11:50):
Man, Like just say no, I don't know. So that
the whole like, yeah, we'll get into it.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
I'm sure about how we how we feel about kissing
and people kissing, and like how different it is now
than it was for us then, you know, both personally
but also culturally.

Speaker 9 (12:03):
It seems like it seems like I.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Don't know, so there's there's weirdness there, but there's some
classic moments in this episode that are really good and
they're mostly bet there, mostly Bent's performance.

Speaker 9 (12:12):
I just yeah, but yeah. When it came to the
food fight stuff, I was like, really, really we did
a food fight.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
I barely remember this. I think we did, and that's
the whole point of this whole thing is to set
up that food I was like, that's a lot, okay,
but everyone's good.

Speaker 9 (12:25):
It's fun, you know.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, well, I agree with everything you said.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
I get. I could watch Ben do that version of
Corey for five hundred episodes. He's so funny, just ridiculously fun.
The story makes no sense. It's also a story we've
done now a number of times. How many times? Can
the kiss? Does the kiss mean anything? Can you not
kiss without it meaning something? Wait a second, we did this.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
We did this though it's but it's not we did
this with you kissed the French, you kissed me before
we went to friends, and I.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Felt nothing like we've literally done this exact same thing already.
But none of that mattered because Ben was making me
laugh out loud almost every time he spoke, and so
it was just I didn't care the food fight stuff.
We had a producer on the show that had a
very strange food fetish when it came it was almost
like a sexuality when it came to food. So that's

(13:18):
where he was going with this. It's hey, really, yeah, yes, so.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
We did multiple food I don't remember there was more.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
But it's also like qureantapanga have one too, Panga have one?
And I remember them.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
I think the movie is called nine and a half
Weeks where there's like some they have sex in a
food fight, and that movie was mentioned to me during
that episode about seventy five times.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, and the feet in the Marin era. Then on
my face, that's all.

Speaker 9 (13:43):
It is kind of but the food fight thing is
kind of a standard kids show it is.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
That was like I was on Nickelodeon that was like
my ten food.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Nothing about this episode that says we are still a
kid's show.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
That's true, except maybe the food.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
No, even the food fights because it's sexualized. So no.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
But if I I don't even care what the story
is anymore, I'm over it for the b story. But
if I have to see Jack and Eric and Rachel
just in the apartment for another episode, I'm gonna lose it.
It's like, are you kidding me? Now? We're just the
three of us in that one little space trying to
move this.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Girl still it at the time, right, like maybe from.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
An standpoint because you don't have to, yeah, exactly, like.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
You're trying to make again, you're trying to make Matt
laugh constantly, exactly, I can tell that You're like, we
broke a bunch of times in the middle of the
of this of the scene.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
So again, the story is just a side the a story.
I could watch that Ben all the time. He was
so funny. It might be my favorite Ben Savage performance
I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
He's just so good. He's as an elder season six,
he's also.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Shredded, like he looks when he comes in and then
when he rips off, he's like, damn, I mean, yeah,
you don't remember that.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
I remember that on the day I remember him being
Oh god, Ben is I mean, we always because he
would like do push ups and stuff like he would
work out.

Speaker 9 (14:59):
But I remember like when that happened to everyone was like,
oh my god.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I was like, yeah, that's Ben's body.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, no, it was no. So overall I liked it. Again,
the kissing thing absurd. Just everything you said I agree
with one hundred percent.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Couldn't agree more about Ben's performance.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, I don't need to be the third person to
say the exact same things. It's perfect. I love this
version of Corey. I think it's so funny. Every every
other aspect of this episode is maybe the worst episode
of television I've ever seen ever in my life.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Because you're in it. Is that because you feel so
awkward about like the kissing and the no you actually
think it's performances too.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Everybody else but Ben I think, Yeah, I think it's terrible.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
I don't. There's not one redeeming quality other than Ben.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
It is.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
It makes no sense, it's stupid and it is not funny.
It's if I have to watch, if I have to
watch this be storyline, Oh I can't.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
I can't with the b storyline. One more episode.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, Also, we had somebody right in and I said,
I would absolutely let you know the moment when I
realized that as Danielle, I was done with the show
and I checked out my soul off my body.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
It's this episode, is it?

Speaker 2 (16:17):
I that a little bit of a writer in this episode?

Speaker 3 (16:20):
I'm already gone, but I mean, you're a writer. Was
like I went to college and I was like, yeah,
you're a.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Different Sean in this because Sean is just like, hey, Corey,
what's it like, He's a totally normal There's nothing Sean
about Sean anymore. Is just now a guy?

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Well, yeah, we can get into it. But it was
interesting how little the rest of us had to do.
Like it's like, once they came up with this Corey
being this Corey, which is hysterical and is killing it,
the rest of us are just like sounding boards, Like
we're just like normal people reacting the way normal people do,
so we don't get to be funny or interesting. And

(16:54):
you know, Trina has probably more dialogue than she's ever
had in an episode, and it's all about Corey, which
nothing she is no if anything, she becomes aggressive sexually
and kisses him, which is kind of course, what is happening.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Also, she says this the only she has more dialogue,
but it's one sentence with different words over and over again.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Corey, You're crazy, Corey. They would never do that, Corey.
These are the same people, Corey. There, there's no.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Way it's the same thing, said six different ways. They
gave her nothing of real like and she's great, she's wonderful, like,
she's she totally of her going let me show you
how I can kiss you and it won't mean anything
when Corey is the person who's already kissed seven other
people and been the one trying to explain to Tapanga

(17:39):
how when they kissed him it meant nothing.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
We've done We've.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Already done this.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yeah, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
For and then are we are you serious?

Speaker 1 (17:48):
There's a college video and they it's a couple, and
then they're gonna have a makeout hotter hotter, and there's
no hesitation between two friends who have have been platonic
friends supposedly since they were toddlers.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
To just be like, yes, this man, and I'm on
camera and I gotta do it.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'm suddenly a paid actor for real, Who's like, this
is my job?

Speaker 4 (18:10):
It is so.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
I Honestly, I watched the episode and I was like,
I can't believe I have to do the rest of
this podcast, Like, I can't this is it, this is it.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
I can't believe. I can't believe I have to if
this is it.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
I have questioned before, is this the moment Boy means
World Jump the Shark, and then been like watch the
next episode and been like, Nope, absolutely not.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
This is it.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
There had better be even one redeeming moment for Boy
Meets World for the rest of this But I think
we should have been canceled after this episode, rib them
off the air.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Tommy, maybe Tommy stuff you are extreme, Yeah, this is
this is a big one for you.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
It is totally like Ben's. It's all just Corey and
Corey's story, and Corey's performed like it is so funny
to me, and they just got off on that joke,
like they were just like, oh my god, what if
Corey just keeps freaking out and we keep you know
that is It's just they were just upset.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
It was good, give him that all of that, keep
it the same and have it be even he actually
has a reason.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
It's not funny when the man is we're gaslighting him.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
It's a little less funny when I'm like, he should
be freaking out.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
I'd been pissed.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Off too, Like give him a given, just the underpants,
give have him walk in and have that situation.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
He rips, he pulls up the blanket.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
He's like, underpants, have you always had feelings for each other?

Speaker 8 (19:27):
Make it?

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Make it a little.

Speaker 9 (19:29):
But also just at any point if Sean and Panga
recognize this is a little awkward, but yes, you're like
just just just a slipping nothing bops. Okay, I guess
we have to kiss because it's our job, which we're
getting paid.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
I don't know, okay job. But like if there was
just a little bit of like sorry Corey and then
we did it, and then we were like, yeah, we
shouldn't have done that, or any of any acknowledgment, you
still could have had the same story with us being
like grown ups about it, like, oh, yeah, you see
your point of view, dude, like that, does you know
what would.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Have solved all of this?

Speaker 3 (19:59):
For to go kiss I'm not kissing him. Are you
okay with it?

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Yeah? I guess so, Corey, are you okay with it?

Speaker 1 (20:05):
And for him to go oh, yeah, sure, Yeah, what's
the big deal? And then we do it and he's
like it spins him out of control, and we're like,
oh gosh, how did we you know? Then okay, then
I even I can buy all of it, none of it.
We all are just like the whole world is operating
on some weird level where this is just totally fine,

(20:26):
and you're not.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
How much of that is because we were a TV
show where we had to make out with people that
we just met, that we barely knew as a job
all the time, Like, how much of this is the
result of TV writers and TV actors trying to write
a storyline that just really doesn't make sense?

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Actually, are our TV writers so out of touch with
what it's like to be a.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Huge human to kiss a person? I mean.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Talking about that, talking about the kiss just I love
you both so much. It's one of the worst TV
kisses I think I've ever seen. It's like you're both
listening to two different songs and trying to make it
make a mash up.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
It was like, that is a You don't think we
have old magic chemistry.

Speaker 9 (21:13):
You do not.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
It's like you guys hadn't rehearsed you hadn't done anything.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
You probably game together. We probably didn't. We probably. I
don't remember making out all week.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
I don't only remember this episode because at some point
in our lives over the last you know, eight years
or whatever you mentioned we had an episode where we
kissed and I was like, what are you talking. I
don't remember no recollection. But once you said it, I
was like, oh, right, because I replaced Corey in some
weird thing and I have to kiss you. I was like, Okay,
I guess that makes sense. But watching it, I'm like, no, this,
this doesn't.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Make sense, doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Yeah, I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Also, but it is very real though, that a college
puts out a video saying come to this college because
you can meet somebody that you're going to fall in
love with.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
That's a real thing, totally obvious.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
I don't know everyone's going.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
In that video.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, that's they.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
Send those out for elementary school. Now we're getting them.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
We're trying to get Adler into you know, first grade,
and they're they're sending out you.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Might meet you.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, you want to meet your Corey, come here, you
want to meet your Topanga, come to this.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
I'm so you know, like I feel like there's a
like a three or four hundred page book, like a
PhD thesis to be written about the magic of kissing
on point and how all the nuances right because we
kiss and it's clearly magnetic.

Speaker 9 (22:34):
For Corey, it's it's it says the thing.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
We we don't feel the magic consoorcealment of our kiss now, uh,
but we don't. We don't acknowledge that. But but then
when he and Trina kiss, they clearly don't feel it,
they clearly don't end it. But but I can't look
what's going on. It's like when does a kiss magically
in sourceal somebody to be like, oh mama, I want
to marry you. You're in love.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
When when the universe says that it's okay for you
guys to be together, the kiss works.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Right, So you have to try it out kissing everybody
to get that, and then you really know when when
you kiss Ricky don't get to France.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Is that the old saying how many frogs you have
to kiss before you see you get a prince?

Speaker 3 (23:12):
That's what this is. That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
You know, how many frogs you have to kiss before
you kiss.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Prince, the logic and the magic. It's like, it's just
the twists and the turns, and it's like, I feel
like maybe our writers just wanted to watch us make
out in different combinations. Like they literally were like, how
can we get a situation where we're writer and Danielle kiss,
and how do we get a situation where where Trina
then kiss. Let's let's just mix them up.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
And then they stot on me entirely. I don't think
I kiss a person for the rest of like for
at some point, you're not going to give anything. Yeah,
we're not. We're not going to have him kiss anybody
or do anything. We're just we're done with that.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
You have many romantic partners after this.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
No, I don't think. I think it's all all Maitland
all the Time's a pretty big turn from where we start.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
I mean, you're romantic desires and then.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
I could be wrong, but I don't believe I have
any romantic We have at.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Least fifteen, if not sixteen more episodes left in this season,
plus twenty two of next season, so we're looking at
like thirty eight episodes of All You Do is Think
and Talk about Rachel.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
No, because I think by next season. I'm also thinking
about food quite a bit.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Well what, I don't know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
They have me with the pizza and they have like
it becomes a thing.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Are you serious? Yeah? I think so.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
I mean you got it right to the fact that
I don't fit in my clothes anymore. So I mean, gosh,
but I think that's what that and then I just
become the fun It's like, make him so crazy. I
think we're going to be as amazed as you guys
are with seeing yourself checked out. I think we're going
to be amazed at how big Eric gets comically in
season seven. It's real, and I think it even jumps

(24:45):
farther than that to where it's becomes a caricature of
even this caricature.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well, it's funny because I was thinking watching this, I
was I was thinking, how much of a kind of
a new level of comedic acting you have achieved by
this season, Like because I was there was someone there
was one line that was very clearly like a Jim
Carrey rip offline. I forget what it was, and you
delivered it. It was like you gave them what they wanted,
but you also made it your own, whereas like season four,

(25:13):
Will would have and it would have been fine, it
would have been what they thought, you know when they
wrote it like it was just and I had this
more when it was like Will's like on, He's like
above it now, you.

Speaker 9 (25:22):
Know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
It was like it was like you were the expert
who was now just like dabbling, like let me just
do a little joke because you just got it, you know, yeah,
and you're so comfortable like that. That's what that's there's
part of it that's enjoyable for me just because I'm
like Will, because you know so much. And I didn't
get to see this, like I never watched these scenes.
I never watched these rehearsals. So I'm sitting there going wow,
well and mass spend a lot of time to get

(25:44):
because I just never I missed that. I didn't actually
spend that much time with Matt. It was two shows.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
It was too we talked, he didn't get to didn't
the A and the B storylines, didn't get to spend
time together.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
So it's really.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Fun to just see you having fun with Matt. Rachel
hasn't met anybody else in the cast yet.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Mister Foenie.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Correct, what we'll think about it? Who there have you?

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Have you done any scenes or anyone We've not even seen.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
The whole person, which means also on our day to day,
I was spending zero minutes, zero minutes with you, even.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Matt and and Mayland now season six, where you weren't
dating Matt.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Still at this point season.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Six, nineteen ninety eight, Matt and I had just gone
to prom together in June of ninety eight.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Weren't you dating Lance? It's a problem with Matt, Yeah,
problem with l and Lance.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Came with me.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
I went to Matt's prom. Yeah, oh okay, I went
to Matt's. I was Matt's prom date. Lance was my
prom date. And then and I took it when you.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Kissed, did you feel them? Let's talk about with Land.

Speaker 10 (26:47):
Ironically, I would have thought the magic like you wouldn't
have any watching you can get that kiss your own podcast.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
I think that's well because he knows, he knows that
he's in love. So it's fine, Jenson, What is wrong
with you? She's just making out on the podcast. It's
the job.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
So anything it was was Lance before Matt or after
Matt after Matt?

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Right, So then you would buy season six. You're probably
dating Lance by now right this fall?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, yes, I started dating Lance at this point because
this is October aired October thirtieth. Yeah, somewhere somewhere around
here meet and.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Lance, right, But you and Matt, we didn't even know
you guys dated, so even if you broke up, there
was like you guys didn't act differently up.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
He didn't a very mature Yeah, we.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Can actually date the moment that you met Lance, right,
because they it was a it was and you guys. Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Exactly what date that was, but I know it was
fall of ninety eight because then Prom of ninety nine.
He was my prom date and then he broke up
with me after Prom. So that's that's that, okay. Jumping
into our guest stars, Tom Gallup as Simon Gallup, a
TV regular in the nineties, appearing on shows like Murphy, Brown, Blossom, and.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Hey goes well with the bumping your nose. So that's
his line.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
Was My question is Will who was he on Seinfeld?

Speaker 2 (28:12):
I can't believe raise. Yeah, he plays the guy who
uh Elaine Days who says she has a big head
and she's like, that's it. He's a bad break upper.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
That's okay.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
His name is Alan and it's the episode is called
the Andrea Doria yep.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
But you probably recognize.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Him from The Bourne Ultimatum and The Bourne Supremacy as
Tom Cronin or Will and Grace, where he played Rob
for seventeen episodes.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
This guy worked a.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Lot and still shows up on TV, most recently on
the TV drama All Rise. And then we have Brian Turk,
who played Isaac. He appeared on a ton of TV
shows also from Wings to Sybil to The Jamie Foxx Show,
and he shows up in Jurassic Park, The Lost World
and a real classic big Fat Liar. He was also
on the show Carnival. Sadly, Brian passed away from brain

(29:00):
cancer in twenty nineteen at the very young age of
forty nine. Now, before we jump into the true recap,
we wanted to first celebrate a very special cameo seen
in a very special scene.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Of this episode Hogs and Kisses.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
I want to give a special thank you to Mariah
mccarsky and her brother in law, Scott for first alerting
us to this background actor. It is Matt Foster of Buffalo,
New York. It was his only appearance on the show,
and he can be seen sitting in the student union
playing chess right as writer enters setting up the very
memorable moment and a line read we still hear today underpants.

(29:44):
Matt Foster was on that Boy Meets World set in
September of nineteen ninety eight through the Make a Wish
Foundation of Western New York. The seventeen year old had
Rabdo Mayo sarcoma, an extremely aggressive and unusual muscular and
soft tissue cancer. He was diagnosed to just fifteen, and
after months of treatment, the family knew that things were
not looking good. He was offered to make a wish trip,

(30:06):
something he could do to get away from the harsh
reality he was living, and he was told he could
pick anything, and he chose to come to see his
favorite show, Boy Meets World, being taped, and so his family,
which included two parents and five siblings, and with the
help of producer Karen McCain, made the trip to Los
Angeles to sit in the audience. They sat in on

(30:27):
the table read they were offered to have lunch with
a star of their choice, and Matt shyly grinned with
his answer.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
To Panga, we.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Took pictures, We laughed at the size of his family
who was on the trip with him, And even though
I messed with him a little for being so nervous
and shy, I remember cherishing the time I had with
Matt and his family, and really any make a wish
kid we were lucky enough to meet during our time
on the show. The Fosters took pictures with the rest
of the cast, and when it was time to return
to the audience, matt and his dad took the liberty

(30:57):
of staying on the floor, interested in seeing how things
worked by behind the scenes, and that gutsy decision is
what led Karen to ask if Matthew would like to
be an extra in one of the.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Scenes, and of course he said yes.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
And so Matthew is right there during an iconic boy
meets World exchange, visible in at least three shots. You
can't miss him. He's wearing his backwards green hat to
cover his bald head. And then right before he left
for the day, Ben handed him the torn tank top, yes,
the one Cory rips off while yelling to Banga, but

(31:31):
now it was emblazoned with his autograph. The cast signed
enough scripts for Matt and his siblings, and Will promised
him the next time he was in LA he would
give him a grand tour of the area. Matt's favorite
picture from that day was the one he took with
his fore co stars Ben and Me and Writer and Trina,
and when he got back to school, he even decided
to draw it, but he removed everyone except me and him.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Sorry.

Speaker 8 (31:53):
Writer.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
He asked his dad to send it to me, but
the family wanted to keep it, and I don't blame them.
It still hangs in their living room.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
Karen sent the.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Fosters a VHS tape of the episode before it aired,
and for a dance at Matt's school, they set up
a special room so he could show all of his
friends his big TV debut. But despite the happiness Matt
had in Los Angeles, things changed on December seventh, when
the hospital informed his family there was nothing else they
could do. It was time to make sure he was
as comfortable as possible, and on the way home from

(32:26):
the hospital that day, Matt's dad asked him if there
was anything he wanted to do, and he said he
wanted to return to the Boy Meets World set. They
called Karen immediately, and she said she would make it happen.
But then when a last ditch clinical trial opened up
in Houston, plans changed. The family wanted to try whatever
they could to prolong Matt's life, and then it was
impossible to visit during the show's tape schedule. On January

(32:49):
twenty ninth, nineteen ninety nine, less than a month before
his eighteenth birthday, Matt Foster lost his battle with cancer.
Friends and family packed the Immaculate Conception Haffolic Church in
East Aurora, standing room only to pay tribute to a
boy who had become a symbol of strength and determination
for his community, and nearby his coffin lay a wreath

(33:10):
from the casting crew of Boymets World. His mom told
the Buffalo News that week, one of the saddest things
is that he never had a chance to decide what
he wanted to do with his life. It all happened
so fast for him. But he did love his trip
to Los Angeles and meeting with the cast and the
crew of Boymets World. That really was a dream come
true for him. It was something he would not have
ever forgotten, and now we can all remember it too.

(33:34):
One month After his passing, the Matthew Foster Foundation was
established to continue his positive impact on those experiencing a
similar battle. The foundation's mission is to help families with
children who are suffering from cancer by providing financial assistance
to cover some of their extraordinary costs. These expenses can
include rent payments, medical expenses, insurance, gift cards for food

(33:55):
and gas, and funeral expenses. They assist an average of
forty two West New York families each year, including six
to seven families with funeral expenses. But we want to
get that number even higher, so we are releasing a
new T shirt in Matthew's honor, with one hundred percent
of the profits to be donated to the foundation.

Speaker 4 (34:15):
Across the shirt, it.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Loudly reads underpants, a classic straight from Boy Meets World
Season six, and in honor of our scene partner, we've
included a backwards green cap hanging from the exclamation point.
It can be purchased now at Podmets Worldshow dot com,
and again, one hundred percent of proceeds will go to
the Matthew Foster Foundation, which you can learn more about
at Matthew Foster Foundation dot com. Also worth noting they

(34:39):
are an all volunteer organization, so almost every penny of
every dollar goes right to their mission. Rest in peace.
Matthew Foster, our fellow boy, meets world cast member in
the backwards green hat.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
We would also like to thank.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Matthew's dad, Bert Foster, for helping us with this tribute,
and we will post some pictures from the family's trip
on our Instagram. We'll be back with the recap after
a short break. All right, jumping into our recap. We

(35:15):
are in the Penbrook student Union. We are zoomed in
on a clapboard, feeling very meta. Here calls out action
and we're camera camera, How.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Do we do this? What's happening? I was ready?

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Did you pause it to see if any of the
names on there, like they put it like a manel.

Speaker 9 (35:32):
Or something like that.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
No, it's I thought it was going to be something
something kind of you know, in joke, but it wasn't.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Yeah, so funny.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
A director calls out action and we're in a video
for possible incoming Penbrook freshmen to Panga and Corey enter
the building, both staring directly at the camera, performing a
little walk and talk. Tapanga introduces herself to the camera
and Corey follows suit, but he's so awkward and fumbling
over his words.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Purpose of the bad acting from his favorites.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
I can go back in time, but we do a
whole episode of Justice and Ben would love it. He
would have been this is his favorite thing to do
and he's so good at So it's perfect. It's like
it's it's not over the top. It's actually like some
of the most realistic performers world has ever had. Yeah,
like Ben has, He's he's not indicating, he's just being about.

(36:23):
It's like, it's so perfect, it's so good.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Just the walking, even if he didn't speak, just the
walking is so uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
All the way he looks, the way he looks at you.
He can't do anything normal. He knows how to be
is it's so funny, Like and I know exactly where
that comes from. That comes from being a kid actor
who knows that you can do the thing and having
to sit through other kids auditioning or watching because we
used to talk about it. We used to talk about

(36:51):
like how you if you knew how to act as
a kid and somebody couldn't, you would be like, oh god,
they're really They're just never gonna get They just don't know.
They don't know what to do with their mouth. They
don't know, and it's like it's just never gonna happen,
Like a certain level of comfort is just like necessary,
and then gives himself that discomfort better than any actor.
And you know, he's having the most fun of his life.

(37:12):
He's the fun this entire episode, This is god yeah fun.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Topanga flawlessly delivers her lines, but Corey's mistakes are never ending,
and he's giving off incredible bad acting, a journey that
takes them to a ugaverse of exciting experiments. After Corey
robotically tells the students to come on, the director finally
tells everyone to cut.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
Come on, come on, so come on, come on.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
The director finally tells everyone to cut. Corey shouts back.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
You think, where have you been? I stink.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
The director asks the couple to try it one more time,
than sarcastically scoffs, maybe take fifty nine will be the jarm.
Corey disagrees he knew back at take thirty three he
was sucko, so he quits. Everyone in the building cheers
at the news. Besides, Tapanga, I don't understand Corey and
I were picked as the perfect freshman couple because of
our natural chemistry. The director wonders, Yeah, where'd that go.

(38:13):
Sean decides to intervene and urges Corey not to leave.
He still wants to hear him butcher the word curriculum.
Corey glares back, Oh yeah, if curric you comes, I
don't even know what he says, but he's gonna sit
up there. It's such an easy word, then let's hear
you say it. Sean recites the word with ease, and
Corey looks at him in awe, and it caught the
attention of the director. He asks Sean to do that again,

(38:36):
so Sean innocently repeats curriculum. The director is intrigued. Corey
knows where this is going and agrees Shawn should take
his place.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Shawn and Topanga are both visibly hesitant.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
But Corey tells his friend, I don't want to be
responsible for ruining this film. Topanga will make Sean feel comfortable.
Shawn isn't sold.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
I think it's about it.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Yes, so important.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
I'm go find another couple.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Girlfriend to get the movie done. Yeah, what is this
a job?

Speaker 10 (39:03):
Like?

Speaker 3 (39:03):
What is like?

Speaker 4 (39:04):
Where are we definitely not getting paid. I don't know,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
I just this is where I'm like, what reality, where
are writers leaning in? They're just they're they're like, how
do we get this? Like what where did this pitch
come from?

Speaker 2 (39:17):
But also this becomes a thing this season because remember
this is also the Truman Show season where we're we
do a takeoff on The Truman Show where Eric is
just filming Rachel everywhere and all the people in the
student union are watching her.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
So when you said that, I was thinking, we already
did that episode when Corey was running around the camera
and season one where.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
It's a straight up take of The Truman Show. Eric
is operating all these cameras that he hides in the
apartment like you do. And and so this kind of
weird videos that pop up are a thing in this season.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
It's really strange. Well, I mean to be fair, like
videos and like that, you know, being able to film
your friends and stuff was relatively new, like was still
like a thing that young people were doing for the
first time, and our writers were probably like, well, that's cool,
that's what the young's are doing. Let's let's write to it.
But I just can't like what were they like, how
can we get Corey jealous of Sean and to Panga like,

(40:12):
is that what they were hoping? Because that is kind
of funny, Like him freaking out is funny, But.

Speaker 6 (40:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
I don't know either. Sewn isn't sold.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
He says, I think it's a bad idea. Corey waves
him off. Oh when did I ever have a bad idea?
And I overact a response like a facial reaction.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
It's pretty great though, because it's pretty big. Yeah, it's
like it's.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
Like the moment I died.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Yeah, it is a sitcom facial express.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Somebody fire me, Someone fire me.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
You are retroactively fired.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Well, What's what I can't stand is what happens next,
which is me being a good host. I can't speak.
I'm awful, Like I literally misprint's the second or third word.
I was like, wait, writer, you had one job, Like
the joke is that you're good at this and I
couldn't do It's.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
What There's nothing like taking two actors who have checked out,
who don't want to be in the show the scene anymore,
and having them carry the scene.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Like we are. All this episode is doing is interrupting
my dairy dog reading like that's like literally all that's
happening right now is I'm like deep in a phone
call from Lance and yeah, I'm like, oh, I have
to show up and do that TV show still because man.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
As all of the stuff.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Remember my one of my big complaints about like Tapega's
date with Ricky was that could could we give them
something fun to do?

Speaker 4 (41:41):
Please?

Speaker 1 (41:42):
What if this video wasn't just about a kiss, but
it was about like, look how much.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Fun there is? What are all the things there are
to do in Penbrook?

Speaker 1 (41:49):
And it's Sean and Tapanga having a blast together and
like actually having good chemistry or.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Your hand at one point, like if I literally if
it was just and Corey watching the video where like
my hand goes, then it's even funnier because a decent.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Conversation about something where then it's like then that we realized, wow,
I didn't know you liked that, And there's like a
moment of looking into each other's eyes.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Or just the reality of other people thinking we make
a cute couple. Like that is all it could be
is the director being like, you guys make such a
cute couple and they walk away or he walks away
and Corey goes, they do with me, and then it's over,
And then the whole episode is.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Except hand the hand touching thing would be funny if
it was literally like your hands just brushed each other.
He keeps watching it. At the end, he's like, you're
sleeping with my wife.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
Look at your hands.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
Hey you're not married, and b what are you talking like?
You wonder why why they needed it to be an
actual like kids.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Because they wanted to because they wanted to see these
two teen heart throbs makeup.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
Yeah, I guess they wanted to create a sort of
a scene. It's why it's a scene. It's like, oh,
there's a Sean and Pang are going to kis the episode?

Speaker 4 (42:53):
We can use this in the promos true.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Sean is officially joined to Panga to film a couple
scene in front of the fire place. Topanga tells incoming
students they can build lifelong friendships or maybe more.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
Than looks at Sean with a smile. He puts an
arm around her and nods, that's right. Schnoo comes.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
He recalls a fake story of the night they met
at the newly remodeled student union, paid for by missus
Stanley Kandleman class. Corey is admiring their performance, standing with
the director something to look great together. The director agrees
they really do, he says. Corey clarifies, I just mean

(43:31):
they do. I don't mean they really do.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
Which is enough done?

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Like that's it, that's it to Panga and Sean wrap
it up, talking about their lifelong mates at Penbrook, and
Corey claps his hand together and to film. But the
director has a better idea. He wants Topanga and Sean
to kiss. Corey adamantly shouts no, don't, and we Sean and.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
Tapanga do it with that, with nothing, with nothing, with
no hesitation. They both turn to each other like they've
wanted to do this since the playground.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Let's go, because if it would be so natural for us,
as just regular college students to suddenly be yelled at
about on camera kiss that person and just being like, is.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
What I do?

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Okay, there you go. I'm going to make out with
my my best my my fiance's best friend because someone
else told me to.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
I mean, I guess that's the way they thought of actors,
that's the way thought of us. They literally were like,
they don't care, they'll do anything, do it, do anything,
take your shirt off, guts her.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
No, somebody older than you, with powder, with power told
you to do that, so go get that.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
So in their fictional imagination, like in their fictional world,
that's what college kids will do. They'll just somebody will
tell them, director should tell them what to do, and
they'll just do it. That's that's actually kind of disturbing
to think about it. That the level of reality that
this fiction requires has a logic buy in that is
that you an older person in power should just be
able to tell people to make out and they just
do it, and.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
They just do the no question way it should tell
them to do anything. If that person, whatever it is,
just just do it.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
Well we did. I mean that's what we did every week.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Actually, the director and gives them, instructs them to give
out more heat. They're in love, so to Panga and
Sean really start making out. Corey's watching on in pure terror,
less heat, lesser tongue.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
Though we aren't we aren't open, we're not. We're just
kind of like, well.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Both of you are doing two different things.

Speaker 10 (45:27):
Your mouth is open, but mine is yes, and then
you close your mouth and then you kind of open
your and I was like, one of you is doing
this also the others doing the marengue.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
You are just doing two different dances at the same time.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
It's weird. The whole point of the episode is that
we have chemistry and we kiss and we couldn't do it.

Speaker 4 (45:46):
We would both have too big of lips. Is that
what it is?

Speaker 1 (45:52):
You can't take pillow mouths? Were like, I'm supposed to
be the pillow princess. What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (45:59):
It was really strange to watch, and not just because
I know you so well, just because it was like
it was like neither of you had ever.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
Ever kid before.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
For both of us, so weird.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
I watched this. I watched this with my friend Sean,
who I've met up with because I'm out of town
and he hasn't. He's never watched the show, but he
was on set for a lot of episodes, especially in
this period because he lived in la and was one
of college and would come all the time. It was
so funny to watch his reaction to watching this episode.
I mean, he has so many cops, but one of
them was like, man, are like women obsessed with lip filler?
Because of Danielle's lips like they're just He's like, I

(46:34):
mean that's intense, Like this is did she start this trend?
I was like, yeah, you're right, it's like they're just giant,
they're beautiful.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
I was like, yeah, it's a really fair day.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
People.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Still nobody's ever I think people know that I don't
have lip filler, because.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
Yeah, my entire life.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
But it was literally the very first thing my grandfather
ever said about me on the day I was born.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
I was a newborn.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Baby, and he went, oh my god, look at that mouth.
It was like literally from the moment I was born.
I was just like whoop.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
So yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
So Corey frantically grabs a megaphone, runs into the shot
and yells cut cut.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
Also tell Sean. I said, thank you. That's very sweet.
He instructs Sean.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
To back away from the girlfriend, and then there is
a tense commercial break and we are still at the
student union.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
We're right where we left off.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Corey girlfriend, by the way, girlfriend not fiance, which is strange.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
That's what I said. I said that out loud when
I watched it. Forgot to make the note, but I
said it. I was like, actually your fiance.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Yeah, Yeah, you're engaged. That's right, he says, back away
from the girlfriend, which is weird.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
Yeah, maybe they were they shout out of order.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
No, how could they have been, because later, okay, weird,
Corey is still shouting into the megaphone despite being a
few feet away from Tapega and Sean.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
What was that? Sean says he was directed to do it.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
I'm just doing my job, man, I'm a good actor.
You got it, you got it.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
Cory asks a logical question, if he.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Told you to put a knife through my heart, would
you do it? Sean thinks about it. It depends would
you be yelling in my ear through a bullhorn at
the time. Sean assures him that the kiss meant nothing,
and to Panga agrees, begging Cory not.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
To go crazy over this.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
Oh no, not you and you're weirdo beliefs again.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
I wonder, I have no idea, but like, there was
a vibe in acting classes where people were supposed to
kiss if a scene like I remember, there was pressure
to kiss. It was sort of like, yeah, this is
part of your what do you mean? I wonder if
that's yeah, I mean, I wonder if that's still a
pressure that actors in acting class field, Like obviously I think.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
The intimacy thing has become more talked about on sets
with intimacy coordinators, and also so it's in the zeitgeys
enough now where I think probably even in acting classes
they're being more careful with random touching and intimacy as.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
I feel like it would have to be that there's
there should be. I would hope fewer acting instructors who
are comfortable saying, oh, no, if a scene calls for it,
you have to do it. And then it's left up
to the actors to say are you comfortable with kissing?
And if the person says no, okay, how can we
how can we fake it for Let's figure this out,
let's work something out, and if both people are say yeah,

(49:30):
I'm comfortable with it, then great, then go ahead and
do it.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
But you love to hear from acting teachers. Actually, if
anybody's in acting class or knows an acting teacher or
is an acting teacher, I'd love to hear how you
deal with it right now, because it's somebody that was
just I haven't thought about cause I've been in an
acting class, but like it was part of the culture
of acting for sure. Like it was like if you
go to acting class and you have to do a
make up sne and you do it, and like why
right now? I would be like, really do we have to?

(49:54):
Like is it so interesting?

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Corey clenches his fists intensely walks away, repeating please don't
go crazy over this, please, And then we're in Corey
and Shawn's dorm. Corey is replaying Sean and Tapanga's awful
kiss over and over again on his TV. He sees, oh,
that's right, kiss him again, you little Oh you hurt
me so bad? And you my best friend, Jigglow homewrecker.

(50:29):
Why don't you have take her back to your tornado
infested trailer park.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
I cannot believe how much we are in the set
because I never remember being in the set. I don't
remember anything about this set. I remember the studio union,
but like this dorm room, I'm like what And even
memory when I was like, oh yeah, Corey gets sound
on his knees and he rips his shirt in my
memory was in the boy's bedroom, right, But where was
the set? Literally? I can't remember it down the so

(50:55):
audience is here, you're facing the audience you're facing the audience.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
To the left.

Speaker 7 (50:59):
It was.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
It was the same side as the audience.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
I just have no I remember this because this is
the one we light on fire with your chopping up
the dorm room. I remember that because I.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Remember that you just said things in a different language.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
I don't know what you're talking about, likes the I
do remember the scene.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
I pick up Corey and I'm not he knocks the
candles over and no idea.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
Then the fire department breaks in, and I don't remember
being in the set, and like the fact that we
have seeing myself.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Really, Yes, this is where they live. This is where
you where Sewn and Corey live until they get married.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Is this where the prom set used to be? The
hotel room? Do you remember where the hotel remember that?

Speaker 2 (51:39):
I remember that one at all.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
I thought that was I thought the audience was facing
that set.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
No, I think it's I think it's exactly where Will's
talking about. If you're looking at the audience to the right,
Oh did.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
You say to that to the left.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
If you're looking at the audience, it was down to the.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
Left where that's where your hallway was.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Yes, it was on the No, the hallway was right
on the same side as when the audience is looking
straight ahead. The hallway was to their left looking straight ahead.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
It was the first you're basically looking at the apartment
and the kitchen when the kitchen was still around. But
there's no living room anymore, right this season, we don't
have any living room.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Oh, so it took the So the hallway took the hallway,
and the apartment took the place of the living room.

Speaker 4 (52:16):
Basically, yes, it was okay, I don't remember that.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
And then he screams in agony and falls to his knees.
He rips his white tank top apart and shouts stop banger.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Looking like in a DNIS can't like laugh at the joke.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
They end up cheering for Ben's body because shade almost
like wrong, Like it's like Corey shouldn't be this the
good looking like this is it doesn't really fit Corey
to be this buff.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
You know, we know why Tipanga likes him. We got
me finally figured out one of the answers.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
This is honestly one of arguably one of the most
used gifts ever.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
This You will see this everywhere.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
It's also a great reminder for everyone how buff Ben
was he's just people work and.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
The inmates wood.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
A neighbor yells at Corey to shut up, and Corey
yells back, you shut up, and he goes back and
forth with the neighbor until I start going at it
intensifying but with the goal of getting each other to
shut up. Eventually, Corey yells to come and get a
piece of him, and then his door gets kicked down
and an extremely buff man is standing in the doorway.
He's also, I don't know, thirty five years old.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Maybe yeah, yeah, he's up there.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
He's giving Cory a death glare. Corey's tone quickly changes hello,
which was such a ben. He such a ben read
for Hello, and I love it. And then we're back
in the apartment. Eric, Jack, and Rachel are sitting together
eating a formal breakfast. The boys are acting more sophisticated
than normal, and Rachel is noticing the difference. Eric politely

(53:49):
offers Rachel another splash of tomato, but she declines she
needs to leave for class, and as soon as she stands,
the guy's rush to clean up her plates.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
And then this is the second episode. Now where I went?
Did I miss something?

Speaker 8 (54:01):
Like?

Speaker 3 (54:01):
What set this up? I remember I had this problem with
this last episode. Oh, we're in a we're like mid
conflict already, Like they've already decided to do something that
never was set up. It's like it's like they just
decided to skip to the second part of the story.
It's it's so weird. I was like, we did I
miss it?

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Why now, all of a sudden, do we need.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
To episode All of a sudden, you pick, you decide
that women need manners in order to live with you.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
Yeah, that's why it should have been precipitated by just
one little moment, you know, where she makes a calm.
I don't, but I guess I would have required a
whole scene. Like it's weird, it's it's it's it's it's
like they don't care. It's like the writers were like, well,
we want to get this situation. Do we need to explain? Now,
let's just do something.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
They'll get there. They'll get there, And that's that's how
it kind of comes off. It's bad.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
She tries to stop them, but they insist Jack's class
doesn't start for another hour, and Eric says his class
is probably over by now.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
I love the way you say that. Will It was
so funny where you just drive right there done.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Eric even meticulously cleans the bright blue tablecloth with a
table crumb sweeper.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
Because those things are like, yeah, it was the perfect
touch her. Do you think it was written? Do you
think it was like.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
A I was probably written. I imagine I did not
go to props and say can I get a table
crumb sweeper?

Speaker 3 (55:22):
Such a nice touch. It's like a perfect way to
be like, I'm fancy, you know. It's like if you
have one of those, you are you are killing it. Yeah,
it's like and the way you do it so pervios,
so good.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Rachel says that if this is for her benefit, it
is unnecessary.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
Both of them scoff. It has nothing to do with her.
They're doing this for themselves.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
They change out the tablecloth instead of vasive flowers on
the island. Rachel awkwardly tells them she's going to class,
and the boys jump to help. Eric hanser a lunch bag.
Jack tells her to make friends. Jack opens the door
for her as she leaves, and as soon as she's
out the door, Eric lets out a loud belch.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
I've been holding it in.

Speaker 4 (55:55):
For three weeks.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
I can see myself with my like my lips close.
I'm just swallowing you, right, I can see myself doing.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
It yet, so funny Jack size, she's killing us with
this cleaning and consideration.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
Eric agrees manners blow.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
They are replacing the table sophistication with an array of
snacks like cheeseballs and donuts.

Speaker 11 (56:14):
Which, by the way, even the donuts are on like
a cake plate. Why didn't they just have to be
like even that is just sophisticated, Like why didn't you
just like open a drawer and pull out a half
eaten donut like a beautiful cake.

Speaker 4 (56:30):
Beautifully displayed on a cake plate. It's weird anyway.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Eric opens a cart and the milk and drinks straight
from it. We know what women expact. I lived with
my mother for eighteen years. Eric tosses the flowers out
of the vase.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
I lived this, so I remember the first time I
did this. Really Yeah, during the run through, I just
tossed the flowers and I drink from the vase and
they had that blue dye stuff in it that like
keeps flowers alive, and so Glazer came up. He's like,
I didn't know you're gonna do it, is like I
didn't know I was gonna do anything, like it'll be
just water from now. And I was like, so I
like drank like the poison.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
My flower the first will because.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
I didn't even think about it.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
I was like, oh, yeah, that's.

Speaker 4 (57:09):
Where you have a glass eye.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
No I had before that. It could have caused my
anxiety though, you never know. This could have been stuff
flower food anxiety. It's flower food connection. Yeah, ffa, it's big.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
Jack says they can never show their real selves if
they want Rachel to stay there. Eric simply responds, I
love your mother.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
I don't get the stake it either, don't get And
then there's a callback joke later right about about the grandma. Yeah,
you say something later that I was to the mom joke.

Speaker 4 (57:42):
Jack says, I lived with Nana Boo boo once.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
Now that's a woman.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Now that's a woman. I don't I don't get it.
I think it's just supposed to be like they're now
doing things. Remember the last episode, it was Eric coming
up like, dude, you got to try these cheeseballs. I
think it's just he's doing they're now just throwing random stuff.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
Okay, yeah, but we have there is a whole like
mom thing, like you know, basically you want her to be.
You say mommy a couple times in this episode.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
I feel like, yeah, you said, you said the I
lived with my mommy for eighteen years.

Speaker 4 (58:10):
Yeah, and then she says other than your mother's.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
Right, and then you say yes mom when she yells
at you.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
After you said yes mommy, yeah or whatever.

Speaker 3 (58:17):
Yes. So I thought maybe I was missing like some
setup from this. Don't you remember, No, we did this.
This was for her answer.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
The second you start dating, the woman becomes the mom.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
Yeah. We did this with Tpanga and it was a big.

Speaker 4 (58:31):
By their mothers.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Yeah, oh god.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Jack ignores the comment and reminds Eric that Rachel isn't
there anymore. What are they still doing with their pants on?
They both fall back onto the couch and unzip their
pants with relief.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
That is another big yeah, I like, but I rip
them off because you already had done an episode where
we're like my pants, which is which was really very funny.
I was waiting for it to happen again.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
Yeah, that was funny, and it's like an Eric thing,
but just a bunch of dudes like we're alone.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Now, let's take off our pants. I find that range.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
I just I don't think that's a real thing.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
I don't know. A bunch of dudes, audience, let's take
it off and let's just let's just air it out.
Let's air it out.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
What happens.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
Let's just we air it out out. Come on class,
Why it's over here?

Speaker 3 (59:21):
You're talking about somebody. This is literally probably the last
time I wore shorts was on this episode, because and
God right, or cover them up like those Those legs
should never see the light a day.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
I disagree with you. You have very nice legs.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
No, I don't know. I don't you have ma hobbit feet.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
No one's talking about your hobbits. It's about your feet.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
I know you're telling the truth. Nice.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
Nice, you've got hobbit feet, very nice legs to walk
to shirts.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
I could wear shorts at the beach with with my boots.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
You're good, got your mother.

Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
And then we're back in Corey and Sean's dorm.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
The muscly neighbor is now holding Corey and they are
both crying watching the kiss footage. Corey pauses the TV
tramp man. The neighbor agrees through his tears, I hear you, brother, Corey.
Says he never saw it coming. His new friend, Isaac
assures Corey that he can't blame himself. The same thing
happened to him once. Corey again shouts Stopanga in response,

(01:00:30):
and Isaac follows his lead by shouting fred. Corey's eyes
go wide as he notices Isaac's arm around his shoulder
and some panic panic, but the audience the inmates seem
to find it very funny at the time, and then
in the student union we see Matt Foster and his
green hat sitting in the back playing chess while students
bustle about. Sean is asleep on one of the couches.

(01:00:52):
Tapanga enters and tells him to wake up. Sean sits up,
screaming no clown, no.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
Again it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Tepenga takes a seat and asks if he really slept
on the couch. Sean nods, I had to. He installed
a dead bolt. She says Corey's been avoiding her too.
They're both now under Shawn's comforter, and thinks he's probably
been letting it eat at him all night. He's probably
out of control at this point. Then, on cue a
very calm, Corey enters the room with his head held high.
He addresses the two, It's probably no surprise to you

(01:01:23):
that I've had a long, hard night and a lot
of time to think. I know you too are thinking
that the crazy little man would dwell and stew and
blow this horribly out of proportion. But I've worked through it.
I'm fine, and i am a happy, healthy Corey. He
then notices their positions on the couch under the covers.

Speaker 3 (01:01:39):
What's this that turn of just god, it's just one thing.
What's this?

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Oh my god, I was I were round out like
five times. It's just it's this hole walking in in
him like all primate, proper, like I've been fine, and
then that turns. It's so good.

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
It is so good, so good.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
Oh god, I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
Joe the barely holding it together, jilted lover.

Speaker 9 (01:02:00):
It's so perfect and like it's so good.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
I mean the way the way he plays it is
to play against the emotions, right, like he's just just
keeping it all together. So he's just going to it's
so good. Turn What this off?

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
This so good Tapega tries to explain, but Corey snatches
the comforter right off them to Pang is fully dressed,
but Sean is wearing a Seattle Wrestling T shirt.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
You're into wrestling. I mean you notice that I can
see that Seattle Wrestling. Well, that's what we always said.
He's the one wh would always sayl it. I'm not
into wrestling, but Corey Corey was and his underwear.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
Corey gasps underpants. Sean says he always sleeps like this,
but Corey rages on underpants. Corey knows exactly how they're
going to handle this. It's very clear that the two
of you have had a lot of hidden sexual tension
for the last fifteen years.

Speaker 4 (01:02:47):
Sean shakes his head. No, we haven't.

Speaker 1 (01:02:49):
Corey yells, I am speaking now. There is one solution
to this, and one solution only, and then channeling old Topanga,
she growls. Knowing where this is going, Corey demands I
want you to go out.

Speaker 4 (01:03:00):
On a date. Sean and Tapega are flabbergasted, but Corey
insists he believes there are feelings.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Between them, and the tape backs him up. He should know,
he watched it five hundred and twelve times. Corey tells them,
when you kissed, you felt something. You both did.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
Sean says they are not going on a date.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Corey is not backing down. If they don't go on
a date, it's gonna haunt all of them for the
rest of their lives. Tapega responds through gritted teeth, Why
does everything have to haunt us for the rest of
our lives?

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
Corey yells back underpants.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
Sean turns to Topanga and goes through the motions, will
you go on a date with me? Tapega crosses her
arms and reluctantly says yes. Corey is falsely vindicated.

Speaker 4 (01:03:38):
I knew it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
None of us makes any sense. It is a good scene,
it's a great scene, but it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
Doesn't the story doesn't make any sense. Again, I could
watch Ben do this yew five thousand episodes and.

Speaker 4 (01:03:52):
To watch Sean and Tapega have to cater to him.
It's in They're always is.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
So then we're into Pega and Angela's dorm. Angela is
lying on her bed doing homework when there was a
knock at the door.

Speaker 4 (01:04:14):
It's Corey.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
He asks what she's studying. Angela responds, white history. You
know you people contributed quite a bit.

Speaker 4 (01:04:20):
To this country. Cory smiles and says, thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
Just it's funny though Corey closes her book, I've kept
you in the dark about this because even though you
and Sean broke up, I know how much you still
care about him, and you know how much I care
about that betraying which of a girl.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
Angela were broken up? By the way, really, there's.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
Angela in all this, and I was doing the same things, like.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
Well, that's right, we were broken up, and I don't remember,
like why, I've already lost.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
So it's so weird to me that there has not
been since that first episode where disc everard Angela's feelings
about Seawan, that Sean has truly acted as though Angela
meant nothing to him and that relationship meant nothing. He's
just every episode is just like living my best life.

Speaker 4 (01:05:11):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
It's just in such a weird space, like I'm in
weird space performance wise, but as a character too. I
don't understand this season at all. It's like, I'm with
him there, You're a normal bro all of a sudden.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
It's just it's I think it's the haircut.

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
I think the second I lost the floppy middle party,
they could they were like, who is this person?

Speaker 4 (01:05:30):
Who is this guy?

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
Who is this He's done with it's so weird. It's
like I'm Samson. I've just lost all my shondness. It's
so I'm so boring, Like every time I open my mouth,
I'm like, who cares?

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
I also have no recollection, and I mean none of
How Sean and Angela.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
Get back neither, I don't know. I don't remember none
of it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
Ye, Angela begs him to get to the point. Corey
blurts out Shawn and de Banger are on a date.
Angela is confused they would never do that, but Corey
tells her it's true. Angela wonders why they do that,
and Corey reveals because I made the reservation. She tries
to ask why, but Corey cuts her off, and I
paid for it. She asks why again, and Corey adds.

Speaker 4 (01:06:10):
I ordered the souffle in advance.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
Angela still doesn't get why, so Corey explains, because you
gotta do that kind of thing, Angela. Angela again asks
why one last time, and Corey has had enough. I
don't know, call the restaurant. The love of my life
is out with my best friend and you want to
discuss dessert policy.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
Geez, you're annoyed.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
He's so good at this episode so funny.

Speaker 4 (01:06:35):
It's always my favorite.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
One of my favorite things when someone isn't being very
annoying and they aren't getting it and then they think
the other person's being annoying.

Speaker 4 (01:06:43):
I find that so funny every time, Like, I.

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
Thought they missed a joke too. It should have been
the person I love more than anything in the world
is out with my fiance, right is exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
So. So I'm trying to think, like, was the first
episode where this Corey merged? There was one where he
There was the episode I think it was season three
where he like gets into real estate he's looking for
an apartment for Turner. Yes, was that the first one
that like fussy overthinking Corey? Because this really isn't the
Corey from season one. Like season one, Corey was like

(01:07:15):
fucking get overconfident, like he's going to talk his way
out of every situation, the you know nothing, and yet
this Cory emerges and is now kind of the Corey. Right,
it's like our favorite Corey, but it's very different. It's
so different, and it's worsely because Ben could play this
so well and it's very funny.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Well, this is now they're writing to who we are now,
I mean, Eric, isn't I just know you're just you're
faring interesting intellectual. I think they're starting to make right
more of an intellectual.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
You're the one who just or whoever youre talking about. Yes,
you're right.

Speaker 9 (01:07:52):
I was so boring in real life and they just
started to write to it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
I said intellectual, you said boring, snobby pretends just and boring. Yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
Way is what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
Angela asks if this is still about the kiss, and
Corey can't believe she knows about it. That must mean
it meant something to her, he asks, Angela, and all
that time you were with Sean, did he ever call
out the name Topanga? Angela says no, but he called
out the name Corey. Corey's eyes light up. In what context?
She explains, in the context of how stupid you are?
Angela reminds him that it was for a movie, a

(01:08:41):
very important features.

Speaker 4 (01:08:45):
Anderson, we're talking about this. It's not this is not
just over submit this.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
Angela reminds him that it was for a movie. They
were pretending. Corey argues, they weren't pretending. I know when
Topanga pretends I've been there, wow, not even.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Having sex and already faking you already pretended that is
that possible?

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Angela assures him there's nothing to worry about. They'll spend
the whole day talking about him and have a terrible time.

Speaker 4 (01:09:22):
Corey is relieved to hear this.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
He thanks Angela for the reassurance and tells her she's
just really great to talk to. Then we hear Tapega
giggling in the hallway. You're so funny, Sean, He responds, oh, stop,
while giggling along. Corey turns to Angela.

Speaker 4 (01:09:37):
You moron.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
He bolts towards the door and peeks out. We see
Sean opening the door to the boy's dorm room. He
peers inside. Corey isn't there, so he tells Tapega they
should go in. Corey is listening from across the hall
when Topega says we should put a rubber band on
the door just in case he comes back. Sean does
and follows Topanga inside. Corey sneaks over to listen. In
he hears Sean admit, this is the greatest night I've

(01:10:00):
had in a long time, and to realize how we
feel about each other after all these years. Topanga adds,
we should thank Corey and Sean says, I'm not sure
we should be doing this. After all, he's my best friend.
Tapanga assures him he's my fiance and I'm fine with it.
Corey is devastated at what he's hearing, but inside we
see that Sean and Tapanga are reading from scripts. Sean continues,

(01:10:23):
you're right, we can't fight what we've been fighting for
fifteen years. Topanga reads, I'm just not strong enough anymore.
Sean rattles off compliments about Topanga's skin, hair, face, and
long long legs, but then he accidentally drops the pages
of a script and he can't figure out where he
left off. Tapega wonders what he likes about her eyes,
and he stumbles, yes, this is the number of Corey's

(01:10:49):
face is frozen into a frown. Outside the door, Sean
ditches the script. How do you like what I'm doing
to you right now? He hits a paddleball for sound effects,
and she grins.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
Ooh to a like pankakey. Do you remember doing this, Daniel, No,
I kind of do. Like I was. I was watching.
They just gave us a bunch of objects, and I
remember you found the one that recorded whatever you said okay,
you know the one that says, oh, Sean. We discovered

(01:11:20):
that during rehearsal. I remember finding that because they just
had a bunch of things and they were like play
with them.

Speaker 5 (01:11:25):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
It was McCracken just like, go do something. It's still
not good.

Speaker 4 (01:11:30):
We tried. McCracken did his very best.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Of that magic. If Will had been in there, imagine
you could do with the move thing?

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Are they the whole thing is they're just supposed to
be pranking Corey?

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
That's just point.

Speaker 4 (01:11:46):
What's the point of this?

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
I don't get the point.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
If we really let's like, let's get to the bottom
of it. If we really wanted we agreed to go
on the date because we knew Corey wasn't gonna let
up unless we did. Why didn't we then come home
from the date and say, Corey, we talked about you
all night, we didn't have a good time, we missed you.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
We did what you asked us to know how much
you love this.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
Why isn't that the solution? Instead we go to dinner
and we go you know what would be hilarious if
we ramp this up again. Even though in the last
scene when he begged us to go on a date.
We were like, I can't believe you're making us do this.
Now we're like, okay, if he's going to make us
do it, let's have fun with it. Let me write
a script.

Speaker 4 (01:12:25):
Then we'll do this.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
He'll be listening, we'll know it, and then he'll think
it's hilarious when we throw open the door and say surprise.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
I don't get it. Well, do you remember the action?
Do you remember the first draft? Because the first draft
was he walks in and you guys are having sex.
Do you not remember that you're reading that?

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
I am.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
I'm totally.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Kiss I just know what what Will would have done.
I'm trying to imagine Will with those objects, in all
the sounds he would have made, It would have been great.
I don't know. We're just so such an average.

Speaker 4 (01:13:04):
It's such a boring scene.

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
You've got two people who have checked out of the
show carrying the scene.

Speaker 4 (01:13:23):
Tamenga stands up to join in on the phone. How
do you like what I'm doing to you?

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
She turns a toy over and it blasts a cow's moo.
Sean pretends to beg for more as they just start
to mess around with various loud objects around the room,
like a cow bell. Why do you guys have these
things in your room? What is what's going on with
this joke? They slowly sneak up to the door and

(01:13:48):
on the other side, Corey sadly walks away in defeat.
So when to Panga and Sean open the door and
shouts surprise. They're confused to see he's disappeared. And we
know that he had been there because we assume we
know him so well that there's no chance he just
wasn't actually there. So I actually say, where'd he go? Ye,
even though there's no way we would have known whether

(01:14:10):
or not he was there.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
Ever, couldn't have gotten a text from Angela because text
and didn't exist.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
Nope.

Speaker 4 (01:14:15):
Fact weird, thought, very weird.

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
At the boys apartment, the guys have prepared another formal
meal for Rachel, still on their best behavior for her,
but she looks bored at the performance. Jack takes the
conversation to a new level he learned from a Martha
Stewart episode on how to freshen up their potpourris. Eric exclaims, oh, yes, I.

Speaker 4 (01:14:32):
Saw that one.

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
Eric asks Rachel how her day was, and she frowns,
I had lunch with a friend. We put our elbows
on the table and ate with our fingers.

Speaker 4 (01:14:40):
She wonders, you don't think I know what you're doing.
You actually think that I think you live like this.
Eric and Jack are startled.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
She continues, you're just treating me differently because I'm a woman.
The boys scoff and Jack argues, shows you how much
you know? You think you're the first woman we've ever
lived with. Rachel confidently nods, besides your mother's yes. Eric
asks his friend if that's an your account. Jack admits,
I stayed with Nana Booba once.

Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
Now there's a woman that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
We've said Nana booboo before on the show, right, and
we say it again Cory's and we say it was Cory. Yeah,
he does that that when the when the wedding. Yeah,
because he goes Nana.

Speaker 4 (01:15:15):
Boo boo And you're like, no, So why doesn't would Jack.

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):
Funny st it's funny sounds?

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
So Rachel tells them she hates this. She feels like
she has to be on her best behavior. It's like
she's living with her own mother. Eric's interest is piqued.
Do you have a picture of your mom, no reason.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Other thing. It's another mother thing, mother and kissing.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
Rachel has had it. I can't do this.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
You have to be yourself so I can be myself.
Eric tells Jack they have to stick to the plan.
Rachel begs them to stop with the planning and stop
acting like she can't hear them.

Speaker 4 (01:15:46):
I'm clean.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
The joke is I want a picture of her mother
to see what she's going to look like when she
gets older.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
Right, that's the joke. It's not just do you want
to make out with her mom? Yeah? I think you
just want to see her hot move because marm what
it is? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
I thought it was like I want to see I
want to see how you're going to age. So do
you have a picture of your mother?

Speaker 8 (01:16:05):
Maybe?

Speaker 4 (01:16:06):
But it's no matter what it's but.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
Yeah, let's okay, all right. I was just curious what
the joke was.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
The guys come clean. They're scared to be themselves because
they're slobs. She asks, And you're afraid I can't handle it, right,
Eric scoffs, you could never handle it. Rachel gets defensive
because I'm a woman. Well, I can be just as
big of a slob as the two of you. Eric
Intensley challenges her statement, that's insane. Your read there is
so funny. That's insane.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
That's insane, Rachel.

Speaker 3 (01:16:33):
This was the one where I was like, that's the
Jim Carrey read, but he's doing extra that's funny.

Speaker 4 (01:16:40):
It was a great read too.

Speaker 3 (01:16:42):
I didn't quite like there's an easy Jim Carrey read
that season four Will would have done. Right now, we're
like elevated, like he's.

Speaker 4 (01:16:48):
Got You're right. So Rachel picks up a saucy meat
ball and rubs it all over Eric's face.

Speaker 3 (01:16:56):
The inmates ketchup. I was like, no, this is right.
There's also lots of close ups down it's it's we're pushing.
But that was so you could do multiple takes, right yeah, ife, okay, but.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
We did it once in for like we pre shot
it and then we did it. What this was live
in front of the audience.

Speaker 3 (01:17:15):
I could imagine that McCracken was just staying close up
in case something went wrong with the meatball. Maybe maybe
you could reset and not have to I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
Know, yeah maybe, although why why would.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
It be or if afterward, like say say the leader
they wanted to pick up of the meatball so she's
already covered in dirt. If you're super close up on him,
you don't know that she's already covered in sauce.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
Yeah, or I'm covered in sauce or whatever. So yeah,
maybe it's that. Maybe it's that. Maybe that was a pickup.

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
Who knows, Maybe it was a pickup. Yeah, could have been,
and they just pushed in.

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
So Rachel picks up a saucy meatball and rubs it
all over Eric's face. The inmates even say ew He
calmly states, apparently I've got meatball on my face.

Speaker 4 (01:17:51):
Jack tells him. Martha Stewart says, A lovely blend of
bleach and turpentine really clears that up. Suddenly, Rachel dumps
her entire plate of spaghetti on Jack's head. The inmates
love this, She.

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
Rubs, don't care. Just don't find this funny. It's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
It's it's a sexualized to fight, is what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:18:13):
Yeah, I was just like, what is She rubs.

Speaker 4 (01:18:16):
The tomato sauce into his hair.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
More hoots and hollers, and Rachel just stares at them
with a smirk. Jack's eyes trying not to break yet,
Eric reminds him to stick with the plan. So Rachel
throws a meatball at Eric in response, but Eric still insists,
no matter what happens.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
This next hurt so much. What every time she it
was like throwing a baseball. She whipped it, and every
single time it hit me right in the ear. Whoa
it like right in the ear, like you were getting
punched in the side of the face.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
It hurt.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
I have no idea where what kind of meatball they got,
but it never broke.

Speaker 3 (01:18:57):
It was just like bricks in it. My god, every
single time, just to the side of my head.

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
Oh my, I just remember, like right, I had a
visceral reaction watching and I was like, oh my god,
I remember how much that hurt. It hurts so much.

Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Next, Rachel sticks her feet right into the bowl of
meatballs and tomato sauce. My mother always says to never
put your feet on the table and less they're in
mare nara sauce. She then places her feet onto Eric's
blative pasta and coats them thoroughly before rubbing her feet.

Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
I'm just gonna say it.

Speaker 9 (01:19:32):
She doesn't ever had a strong feet, you know, she
just doesn't.

Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
She does She does not have hobbit feet. She's adorable feet.

Speaker 3 (01:19:39):
They should not.

Speaker 4 (01:19:40):
She rubs them all over his sweater and face. The
crowd erupts.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Eric admits right away, I don't like where this is going.
Rachel throws more food at.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
Jack and at this point you can see you trying
not to laugh this whole time.

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
And it's mostly the anticipation. That's what I love. It's like,
it's not the actual thing. It's always when it's about
to happen. You guys are like spaghetti, like all the
way down, and it was just we just couldn't hold
it together.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
Yeah, Eric shout's new plan, and they start to throw
food back at her, causing a full on food fight.
They're throwing pasta and salad and Eric rubbed something into
her hair. Jack dumps an entire bottle of soda onto her.
They all have now broken and chaos has erupted, both
on the show and on the set.

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
I remember before we did this, I called the like
paps in and a bunch of the set decks in
and I was like, guys, I was on Nickelodeon for
six years. I've done these a thousand times. The thing
people forget is it gets ice slippers slippery.

Speaker 4 (01:20:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
I was like, we did, is this this most slippery
thing in the world, Like, well, what should we do?
I was like, we've got to make every set. You've
got to make every corner of every table safe. So
they went around and they.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
Foamed all of the corners because it's you like you
can't stand.

Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
I was like, I've done these before. It's gonna get bad,
So like, all right, cool, so that if you go
and you look, you can see like all the corners
are foamed over, You're slipping around. Yeah, it's amazing how
slippery it gets.

Speaker 1 (01:21:06):
Rachel dunks Jack's head into the remaining bowl of Marinara sauce,
and Jack shouts pire. Rachel doesn't want to be treated
differently just because she's a woman than she tells Eric
to pie Jack. Eric does as he's told and slams
the pie directly into Jack's face.

Speaker 4 (01:21:21):
This was a very good pie take.

Speaker 2 (01:21:23):
It was a great pie take. You can also tell
that both Maitland and Matt have sauce in their eyes.

Speaker 4 (01:21:28):
Oh yeah, they can't.

Speaker 2 (01:21:30):
Trying to like wipe the sauce out of their eyes.
And it's just like you've been maced, like you can't.
And I actually even Sue was like, well, you don't
have that much stuff on you, Like they were both
covered and I got through a little lot, is you know,
not the worst.

Speaker 1 (01:21:44):
It was much on your face because it started on
your face, but she did it around your eyes and
then when she rubs stuff, it was just into.

Speaker 4 (01:21:50):
Your hair, so you did.

Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
And of course in the white sweater, so so the
marin aera sauce with her feet.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
Yeah, all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
Eric is covered in various food items. Rachel demands, one,
I get out of the shower. I expect this place clean.
The boys respond in unison, yes, mommy. Rachel drags her
finger across Jack's forehead and then licks the whip cream.

Speaker 4 (01:22:09):
Off of it. She admits goodbye, and then walks off,
now alone. Jack can't believe it. What happened. Eric scoops
and whipped cream off of Jack's forehead. I don't know,
but I think we won.

Speaker 3 (01:22:21):
There you go. He did it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:22):
He did it twice once hecaped, and then the one
that they actually used was the one.

Speaker 4 (01:22:26):
That he did in front of the audience. Absolutely, yeah, yeah,
they liked the energy of it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
All right, Well, then we're back in the dorm hallway.
Corey drags Angela into the hallway, insisting that he hears
sounds from his room, forbidden sounds. In fact, he thinks
there was a cown there.

Speaker 9 (01:22:39):
So wait, hold on, So Corey left, he was sneaking
and listening to us.

Speaker 1 (01:22:44):
Left left, the others came out, said surprise, don't know
where he was, but then at some point to come,
But he went a different way from the room.

Speaker 3 (01:22:52):
But yes, doesn't make any sense, like now and he
is upset about then.

Speaker 4 (01:22:56):
No, I can't believe that's your problem with this.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
I mean, I also love with all the stuff that
you have in your dorm room, the only thing missing
is a slinky, a hula hoop. It's like, how many
fifties toys you got? The paddle thing, you've got the
ray gun?

Speaker 3 (01:23:10):
Like, how many toys from the fifties can you have
in that room?

Speaker 1 (01:23:13):
Oh, Angela's pretty sure he's letting his imagination run wild,
but Corey suggests she listened through the door and find
out for herself. Angela leans in into Clare's there's nothing
going on in there, Corey wines, oh no, they're nestling.
Angela just opens the door and Corey shields his eyes.
I don't want to see in reality, there's no one there.
Angela explains that Sewan and Tpanga don't care about each other.

(01:23:33):
They care about Corey. Corey tells Angela she's thinking too logically,
and this defies logic. This is raw hot, unfiltered passion,
and that kiss opened the gates. Angela asks him, haven't
we known each other a long time? Is there any
tension between us? Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:23:49):
Ben is so funny when he goes.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
Oh, well, there was that one time you didn't get
me a gift for my birthday. I didn't say anything,
but oh, it's so bad, so funny, it's so great.

Speaker 3 (01:24:04):
I'm just and so bad.

Speaker 1 (01:24:06):
Oh, Angela didn't mean that kind of tension, so Corey
catches on. He exclaims never, and Angela raises an eyebrow.
Tell the truth.

Speaker 4 (01:24:15):
Corey admits one time it wasn't my fault. I had
a dream and you were in it. Angela asks was
it a good dream?

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
And Corey nods enthusiastically yes, but Angela reminds him it
wasn't real, just like the kiss. Corey is sure they
felt something, though, because you can't do that when you're
just friends. So Angela decides to prove him wrong. She
pushes Corey onto the bed. Cory is terrified.

Speaker 4 (01:24:37):
Oh no, it's the dream.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
She would have backfire. What if he was like, yeah,
let's make out, let's go do it, I could have
an ensourcelled kiss because they're meant for each other. Yeah,
but it's also we did this.

Speaker 2 (01:24:53):
I keep saying that, but this is the same exact
kissing Ricky and kissing Lauren Lauren.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
And kiss what is the kiss?

Speaker 2 (01:25:00):
And it didn't mean anything, and that.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
We literally did this exact thing already.

Speaker 1 (01:25:05):
It's so it's and it's so weird that, like Ryder said,
it's because as we talked about very early on in
the show, where I mentioned, like steaks, you have to
have steaks, but like, what kind of stakes can you
have for a kid's show this, If this were an
adult show, would be sleeping with people. But because we
are a family show on Friday nights, the only thing
we can do is kissing. And so now they're just

(01:25:27):
trying to ramp up kissing in as many possible ways
as they can to keep it.

Speaker 4 (01:25:35):
I guess sexy. It's just I don't know, I don't
enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:40):
It's weird. It's just weird. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:25:42):
She grabs his face and kisses him as the audience
cheers them on. Angela pulls away. Corey is frozen.

Speaker 2 (01:25:47):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:25:48):
Angela asks what, and Corey responds nothing. I felt nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:25:53):
It was nothing like him into Panga because he loves
Tapanga and he doesn't love Angela.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
He tried just real something. I'm sorry, I just realize something.
I'm the only cast member, excluding Lily or Lindsay, I'm
the who didn't kiss anybody else in the cast.

Speaker 4 (01:26:12):
You're right, everybody else did a kiss.

Speaker 3 (01:26:18):
Bill kisses Bonnie.

Speaker 4 (01:26:19):
Bill kisses Bonnie.

Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
You guys kiss Maitland kisses Jack, Angela kisses now Corey
and Sean.

Speaker 4 (01:26:28):
Jack, and I kiss with three. I've kissed three people
kissed every.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
Guy on the show but me.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
There's not a single I'm the.

Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
Only It just says guest stars only.

Speaker 2 (01:26:39):
Yeah, exactly, I'm not a single person. How they never
have me kiss Maitland, They never have me kiss Trina,
they never have me kiss Danielle. Obviously, so there's not
I'm the only cast member that did not kiss another
member of it. They tried to have me kiss you
get right back when I stop it. Yeah, yeah, but
that's that's a weird thing that I'm the only one
that is a.

Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
Very interesting but entirely like why are we talking about
this because that means so much about it. It means
so much to show.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
It means so much to the show that out of
the eleven or twelve cast members, only one of us
didn't make out with somebody else on the show. And interestingly,
you were probably the first to make out on the show, right,
like Eric was making out girls in season one when
no one else was kissing. Yes, well no, no, the
first kiss on the show was Corey Topanga against the

(01:27:29):
locker because that was episode four, right, yeah, yeah, so
that was but that was before Phoene's niece comes on.
That was Programma was a rolling Stone. So yeah, they
had the first kiss in the show.

Speaker 3 (01:27:39):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:27:40):
So he shrugs and tells her sorry. Angela responds, it's okay,
I've been getting a lot of that lately. Corey says
she doesn't deserve it because she is a great person.
He thanks her and they embrace in a cuddle, which
is also just weird.

Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
You know, the way she puts her leg around him,
Like I was like if do people do that, well,
that would make me uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
If I guess friends could cuddle like that. I mean,
when you're in your like late teens, early twenties, you've
got a close friend, you would cuddle. I mean that's
not that weird a thing. I don't think, right, Yeah,
I guess maybe.

Speaker 3 (01:28:09):
I mean I think I think obviously so like she did,
you know, like friends just cuddle?

Speaker 4 (01:28:17):
I mean I would I do.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
I do think maybe it's possible that like writer and
I were extra affectionate as friends, Like I don't know
that I would have that we would have ever had
a reason to lay on a bed and then for
me to put my leg on you. But I do remember,
like I wouldn't have thought anything of like sitting on
your lap, right yeah, if my kind of situation and
there was like a shared chair and there was no
reference for me to sit, I would see me coming
and like sitting on your leg and you put your

(01:28:39):
arm around me.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
The way there, No, I wouldn't now I would like
there's no where to say.

Speaker 3 (01:28:44):
I guess do you think that's an age thing or
a generational like like was it a decade thing?

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
Like? Is it just I think it's us acceptable for people,
or I think it's an year younger.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
You just yeah, they're lying on.

Speaker 2 (01:28:56):
The bed cuddling. I remember us as cast members do
that at times wheth like the scene is open, we're
talking about something, one of us lies in the bed,
somebody else lies next to them, and arm goes around them,
Like I remember us doing that stuff, which.

Speaker 1 (01:29:08):
Is definitely yes, touchy feelings people. And part of it
is exactly what writer and what we've been joking about,
which is like there is this feeling of like, well,
if somebody tells me to do something, I just kind
of have to do it. And part of also acting
is using your body and being in close proximity and
like working things out with other people.

Speaker 4 (01:29:29):
So there's a lot of.

Speaker 1 (01:29:30):
Boundary crossing that we don't think much about, but I
know that, Like the difference I felt between Boy Meets
World and Girl Meets World was like night and day.
It was like, wait a minute, this all feels way
different now than it did when I was a teenager,
and I know that like teenagers run.

Speaker 4 (01:29:50):
I see it at the mall. You know, I'm a
big mall person. I love them all and the teens
love them all. The mall's having a research that's still
a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:29:57):
Really.

Speaker 3 (01:29:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
It is the first generation, multiple generations to love them
all again. And so there are lots of kids in
friend groups on dates at the malls I go to,
and they are always holding hands, giving each other piggyback rides. Uh,
you know, it's hanging all over.

Speaker 4 (01:30:16):
Each It's an age thing.

Speaker 1 (01:30:17):
I think your hormones are raging and you have this
ability to have close proximity to somebody without it really
meaning anything, and it's like platonic but also like just endorphins.

Speaker 4 (01:30:29):
I don't know. I think it's an age thing.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
I think so too. I think you're also at that
age starting to get less physical affection from your parents
because you don't want it because you're a teenager. So
you're seeking it elsewhere with like your friends. I think
that's another possible.

Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
Way, right, But I mean the interesting wrinkle to me
is like, will you and I would never lay down
in the bed like that together?

Speaker 2 (01:30:45):
Right? No?

Speaker 4 (01:30:45):
True, it was.

Speaker 3 (01:30:46):
Always hetero and it was all you know, that's super interest.
There's not like there was not. Me and Ben were
not I mean actually Ben and I would like wrestle
like push like we do that kind of yeah, but
we would never lay in a bed like this cuddled,
whereas like Danielle and I would write like and Danielle, yeah,
well we're also.

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
Was intersexual though that I mean we were born straight.

Speaker 3 (01:31:06):
So but but it obviously has some work.

Speaker 4 (01:31:10):
And it can't be totally platonic, not totally platonic.

Speaker 3 (01:31:13):
Like it's not like you and I are just purely
like our bodies want to be around each other, because
that would have been like whoa, we would have had
a gay panic moment right, Like it's not even in
this episode, like the guy puts his arm around Corey
and then it's suddenly, oh god, that might So it's
interesting that like, yeah, it's totally platonic, but it was
also boys and girls.

Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
Like and hormones.

Speaker 1 (01:31:30):
That's what I'm saying is like hormones at that time,
whether you realize it or not, being that physically close
to the opposite sex is like fulfilling some sort of
like endorphin, you know, like fields good, but also like
not because I'm trying to like sleep with you or anything.
But just you know, I don't know it is platonic,
but it's just not. Yes, Corey starts to spiral again.

(01:31:56):
What about when I walked in and Sean was in
his underbands? Angela laughs, If you're going to be with
THEA for the rest of your life, don't you think.

Speaker 4 (01:32:01):
You should trust her more.

Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
Corey insists nobody would trust anybody if they were caught
in such a compromising position set up set up on
cue and walks to Panga. She lets out a sigh
of relief.

Speaker 4 (01:32:14):
There you are. We've been looking all over for you.
He blurts out, I can explain.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
But Tapanga doesn't even think twice about it. She calls
out to Sean. She's found Corey in bed with Angela.

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
It's a funny life. It was great the way he
said is he's in bed with Angela like it was
just normal. They're in bed together, totally normal.

Speaker 4 (01:32:30):
Yeah, Sean enters and smiles. They're so cute.

Speaker 1 (01:32:34):
Then he and to Panga give each other a quick
look before jumping on the bed to join as well,
and we freeze right before they land on the bed.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
And here's the thing I thought about with that. The
second so rider you jump. Ben's wearing boots, but he
brings his feet in to protect himself, and I just thought, Oh,
if they kept this going, those boots are gonna up
right in Rider's ribs like you were just about to
get smacked, and they freeze framed it. That's all I thought,
was like, oh God, he's gonna get her.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
I have no memory of leaping into the air and
landing on the bed or landing on top of tre
and I don't know where I landed, don't remember it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
Hey, the taggle, save it the tagle.

Speaker 4 (01:33:10):
We're in the apartment.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
How can we get skeletons involved? Just I just if
the only way this episode is going to be any
good is if we can get skeletons with pies.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
It's like they'd rented them. It's like, well, they're due
back next week, so we might as well use them
somewhere because it's like, we what is this?

Speaker 4 (01:33:29):
This is just a comment on how long women spend
in the bathroom. We're in the apartment.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
The kitchen is still in food fight shambles, and Eric
and Jack are still covered. They're standing by Rachel's doorway
holding two pies. Also, let's just talk about again the reality.

Speaker 4 (01:33:43):
Of the situation. Why did they have three pies.

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
Pie for each person?

Speaker 4 (01:33:50):
So as part of their fancy.

Speaker 3 (01:33:52):
They're just whipped cream in a pan, right, that's all
these pies are?

Speaker 1 (01:33:55):
So sure they couldn't just gone and we don't know that.
The idea is that they're pies. Really, yeah, he says,
She says pie pie Jack.

Speaker 4 (01:34:05):
And and then and maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
Maybe maybe they went out and got new pies covered in.

Speaker 1 (01:34:11):
Sauce, left the house while she's in the bath. They
left covered in their food, yes, and went and got
two new pies.

Speaker 2 (01:34:17):
Well, what the thing you don't know about this building
is it's above a pie shop.

Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
Got it?

Speaker 4 (01:34:21):
That makes sense?

Speaker 3 (01:34:21):
So they went down, they got to the completely believable
I mean, you know, yes, just yeah, this is fine.
The pitches they rejected for the tech. It's like now
that no one will buy that.

Speaker 1 (01:34:34):
They're gonna surprise her once she's out of the shower,
but Jack admits she's been in there an awful long time.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
They're gonna surpise her.

Speaker 3 (01:34:42):
This episode, this episode.

Speaker 1 (01:34:45):
Eric nods, well, you know, women they like Telufa. Eric
finds the bright side. The cleaner she is, the better
this is going to be. They are giddy about this
awesome prank they're about to pull, but Jack can't help
but notice how long it's truly been. Eric assures him
it'll be worth it. They'll wait there one hundred years
they have to. The screen fades and the words one
hundred years later appear on the screen. On screen, we

(01:35:07):
now see two skeletons standing at the doorway holding the
same pies.

Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
Rachel yells out, is up.

Speaker 1 (01:35:16):
This skeletons collapse shark in the background, resulting in a
puff of smoke. Well, you can join us for our
