Speaker 1 (00:18):
Will Did you watch flor Islava?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
No?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
I had to google what it was, and it looks
like it would be a ridiculous amount of fun.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
It's so much fun. Writer, are you in? Should we
do pod?

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Why not? Well, it looks so painful. It looks so painful,
like I'm always like no, no, no, because they're always jumping
onto hard plastic things or like pieces of furniture.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I mean, Goofy Sky School.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yeah no, no, I'm not well. First of all, I
just don't like being on camera doing any sort of
like appearances of any sort, you know, even like a
fun game like I will play Flor's Lava in my
living room with you guys or someone's house if you
want to. Okay, I want a game show.

Speaker 5 (01:03):
And let's go get a different third and go on
to Danielle.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yes, you're going to.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
Let Ryders stop us from having fun.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Damn it? Than you get Tony.

Speaker 6 (01:13):
Fun with Daniels would be perfect. Bill would be great
on Flora's Lava.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Lee Morris, Lee Norris would actually probably be great at it.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I think it would be. I think we could get Lee,
we could get.

Speaker 5 (01:26):
Would do it, would do it in a second.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Kathy Ireland would be great.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Kathy Ireland would do it. How would we go about
getting on Flora's lava?

Speaker 4 (01:35):
How will we do that?

Speaker 1 (01:36):
I have no idea.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
Do you even know is it filmed in l a
like is it even?

Speaker 1 (01:41):
I know nothing. I know zero, I know zero information.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
Like an Australian show or something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
All I know is that Adler loves it and.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
It's a great family show. It's so funny, like much.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
When it first came out, I was like what is this?
And then it ended up being the thing that we
watched with Indy, with his great parents, my in laws,
Like we just laugh so hard, so fun and then
you're screaming at the screen. You're constantly like dope, yeah,
don't do that.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
I haven't watched yet. Are people getting like legitimately hurt
or is.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
It just doesn't look like it?

Speaker 4 (02:15):
No, it doesn't look like it, but it looks painful.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
There are times, I know what writers talking about. There
are times where somebody's standing on something and everything's covered
in the lava, so everything's slippery and you have to
stand on something without any runway to get any sort
of momentum going, and you just have to like jump
from there to this next like platform, and the platforms
do look like they are very hard, not squishy at all.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
That Yeah, like I saw that.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
The one I saw it's just somebody hitting like a
rock and like trying to grab.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
On irock terrified and and you know, you guys know me,
are you kidding me? Like I throw myself physically into things.
Remember how I used to always like get hurt or
hurt people on our set if I had to do
anything physical.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
You've intended to be like a puppy with giant pause.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah, yeah, but I would say, or you know you're
not that. I mean, let me am I.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Graceful and coordinated.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
No, I don't know. I've never seen you like dance
or something like that. Are you graceful?

Speaker 4 (03:10):
You don't want to see dance? I could do I was,
you know, I did gymnastics, and I like, I can
do handstands, I can walk on my hands. Yeah I
can't do any of that, but I can't. I just
have no grace. I have no physical grace. And like,
the idea of doing something physical in front of in
front of a camera is probably not a good idea.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
Maybe you could you could smelt something for us to
get from one side to the other. You could like,
we could I could be you could be the coach
would do that. Yeah, we could just do that. We
could get a third a Tony Quinn, Atrina McGee Elee
Norris to join us as our three and writer is
our coach who talks us through what.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
We need to do.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
I'm into that idea. I'll have a get on it
a the we'll figure out how to get us on
that show. Because nowadays, because you're a kid to figure
out how.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
To get hired.

Speaker 6 (04:04):
Adler, this is how I'm gonna build up his little
roth Ira. I've already hired him. He's he's going to
reach out to networks and streamers and just try to
get as appearances on it.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Curious if it's even shot in LA Like, I'm careful
if it's even here or not. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Interesting, probably because it's up against another team, right, Yeah,
there's like three teams per episode. Well but you're really
competing with yourself, I know, I guess yeah you are.
Do you do you even meet the other team though,
or it's more like you do your own thing and then.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
They watch you.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
So whoever the team is that goes first, then at
the end if they may, even if they don't, they
go up high with the host and they watch the
other team compete. Because it's three teams and only two
of them get to go to the big volcano at
the end, so you are rooting for someone to fail
so that you can get there.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Get there, right, I suggest Boy meets World full House,
we all go and do Flora's Lava. Those are the
three teams. That's my suggestion. I say we do that.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
That's really good. And each one can have a coach
so that if there's somebody who like doesn't want.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
To doesn't want to play, wants to be there shaking
coach us and rider, can you jump on that thing?

Speaker 6 (05:09):
And honestly, that would be such an important position, because
I do think the way writer mentioned where you're like
yelling at the TV, you can from afar you can
see very clearly what the paths are to the exit.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Once you're in it.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
I think you're I think you're a little like I
don't see it anymore. And so you need a writer
on the deck telling you.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
What to do.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
I'm down for that.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
The eyes you need like the eyes of the you know,
somebody high looking out seeing the whole picture.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, I like that right.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Welcome to Pod Meets World. I'm Daniel Fisher, I'm Rid Strong,
and I'm Wilfrede. Welcome to Season three, episode six, This
Little Piggy. It originally aired October twenty seventh, nineteen ninety five.

(05:58):
The synopsis is that he finds himself in the middle
of a fight between Sean and Tapanga after Sean takes
it upon himself to adopt a pig. Also, Eric goes
to the opera with Feoenie. It was directed by Jeff McCracken.
It was written by Mark Blutman and Howard Buskang, and
guest starring Richard Karn as Victor. He was known best
for playing al Borland in Home Improvement. Overall impressions of

(06:22):
this episode memories right off the bat.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
You want to talk about, what are our thoughts?

Speaker 4 (06:27):
I have a lot? Actually, Okay. I was very excited
for this episode because I remember having positive memories of
the pig and how the pig was and working at
the Pig. I remembered Richard Karn, but did not remember
that it was the pig episode with the same So yeah,
no recollection of the Feenie. Eric storyline, so that was interesting,

(06:48):
but obviously it relates to your real life experience where
you went to the ballet, which help thinking about that.
I am so bad in this episode and I do
not like this episode because of the performances, Like I
just thought just I thought everybody was off, but especially me,
and I just didn't like it. And then I thought

(07:09):
it was just a weird storyline. I was like, wait,
what is this so we can get into it. But
I think something was going on with me, Like I
think I was either sick or yeah, really bad mood
and which I hope I get out of and don't
stay in for the rest. But I feel like I
am so low energy in this episode and it's painful
to watch. I was like, dude, right or wake up.

(07:31):
I think a big part of that was because we
didn't shoot in front of a live audience.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
I'm assuming because the pig the pig.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah, And with the lack of an audience, it feels
so low energy, especially low vocal energy from me, that
it really varies and and and what otherwise wouldn't be
I think a kind of a fun episode feels really
low energy on my part. But in general, I.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Can agree with you that there's a little there's some
moments that feel a little low energy, and I mean
specifically when Richard karn comes in. I was really surprize
Richard Karnan didn't get the Room McClanahan treatment of the
big but it's because there was, you know, no audience,
and I my.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Performance is truly unwatchable.

Speaker 6 (08:11):
But also I cannot believe this is I cannot believe
this is an episode. They did this early on with
Tapanga and I have a lot of a lot of
thoughts there.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
I liked it, did you I?

Speaker 7 (08:27):
Did you?

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Were? This is good?

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Such a fun I thought this to me and again
I completely agree with you, Danielle.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
It seemed very early to do this.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
In in the Corey, they're now just forcing the Corey
to pang a relationship like you're supposed to know.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
They've been together forever and this is the second time we.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Stay stay together.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I know it's weird, but but to me it felt
like a Boy Meets World episode. There was it's between
there's a problem where Corey stuck between his girlfriend and
his best friend.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
Eric and Feenie are together.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
The parents come in give good words of wisdom, like
it felt like a Boy.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Meets World episode.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
To me, I can see that, So I liked it.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
I did. I definitely like.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
I don't think you were. I don't think we were
as low energy as you think you are. I thought
you looked like you were going to laugh a couple
of times.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, I saw a couple of times where you were
gonna laugh and.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
Fun. To me, I looked miserable. And I specifically, I
actually remember the Richard carn scene being very unhappy Richard
Carnan being uphappy or you being happy? Really, Ben, Yeah,
I remember being miserable shooting that scene. And I can't
even tell you exactly why. I think we thought it
was a bad scene or I thought it was a

(09:38):
bad scene. I speak for myself, if I remember correctly,
I remember thinking this is dumb, like I don't like this,
and and and maybe I felt that way about the
episode in general, though I remember I have positive memories
of the pigs. I don't know, I don't know what
was going.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
On, but I remember the things I remember about the pigs.
I remember, and we've talked about this before where I said,
I remember we did an episode with a bunch of pigs,
and and then what I realized watching it was we
used a bunch of pigs for this episode. They had
like five or six pigs with them, and we all
got to meet all of the pigs at once in
the school hallway, they like let out all the school pigs,

(10:13):
and so in my mind we were filming something with
a bunch of small pigs. But what I remembered was no,
we just got to meet all these little pigs and
they were so squeally and so cute, and we love them.
But I also do remember they made work very difficult.
Of course, animal kids very very difficult. And there's a scene,
that scene in the hallway writer, where you're holding the

(10:34):
pig like a dog, like the way you would a
small dog. They are nothing like small dogs. They feel
like bricks. Their arms are completely straight. They are so
uncomfortable with being held there, Like what a cute animal.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
The hand, That's what And maybe that's part of the
thing behind my performers. I am stressed dealing with the
technical demand.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Of an I bet that's what it is.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Yeah, And so I'm super just like not into it
because I'm just not hating jokes. I'm just like blazing through,
like line deliveries and it just feels like, yes, but
your performance too, Danielle. You know, like I think you're
an amazing actor. You were not except so there's something
robotic about your performance, like you're just kind of dead
like and I feel like you and I both are
suffering from a complete lack of choices and a lack

(11:26):
of energy and it's just like and maybe it's just overwhelming.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
I do think that was a large part of it,
because I can very easily remember the feeling when there
were external factors that had nothing to do with us. Yes,
but we had to make our day. It always came
down to it being about us. There was no room,
Like you this the stress we would be under to

(11:50):
make the day, to get the scene, to get it done,
and it always it always felt like it was on us.
It was our fault. It wasn't working, even though it would.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Be part of being a kid, and it's part of
being an actor because you know, it's a major part
of being an actor because it's your face, it's your body,
it's you're the person that has to get through the
scene in front of the camera, right like it. So
there's but it's a very healthy thing for an actor,
and I think for adult actors they realized someone that
it's okay to be slightly difficult sometimes, that it's okay

(12:21):
to be like I'm having a bad day, or can
we get another take just for me? Or can you
do that? But when you're a kid actor, you feel
like any pushback is you being a bad person or
a bad actor. And it's one of those things that
like I just you know, I had a really hard
time learn like I would avoid conflict, and avoiding conflict
meant suffering as a as an actor to get through

(12:43):
a scene and taking on that pressure to you know,
and that's really not healthy.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
What it depended all on the on the director for
the day, because we had McCracken who was so open
and like we could always try new things and walk
through the scene and this isn't working, and he would
always sit with us and talk about it.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
So I mean, like, but you.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Know how it was on when we were actually rolling
though the director took a second position.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
It wasn't a director when.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
We were rolling. It was an entire crew and people yelling,
and the sense that like it was on us to
get through the thing. Scene hit, the jokes hit the
marks hit the lines, and like in retrospect, a very
healthy actor approach is like, hey, can you stop yelling?
Can we have a moment? Can I think? You know,
this is a tough situation for me. I need a moment,

(13:26):
or I need some time, or I need another take
or whatever it is. And I, as a grown up actor,
would find myself suffering like a complete masochist for a scene.
And I remember when I was like twenty four, I
worked with John Demagio, the great John Demager is a
voice over actor that you've worked with, one of my
oldest friends. We become friends when I was a teenager
back there. But I remember in my twenties working with

(13:48):
him and him just being like, Rider, you were a
grown ass man. You can ask for a grown ass
man time to get your job done as an actor.
And I remember being like like a light bulb, Like
I'm in my twenties and I thought that I had
to suffer or had to take on this pressure and like, yeah,
when you're a kid, you just don't know that. And
a lot of actors never learned that lesson a lot

(14:09):
of actors just put themselves, you know.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
It also shows such the difference between being fourteen and
being eighteen on a set. Yeah, because I would there
was you know, especially when I started really working with Bill,
it was like, we would take our time, we would
do that, we would take those moments, we.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
Would do that, no one's yelling hell no.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
So it was it was more more of that than
than anything else. But yeah, again I didn't the performances didn't.
I guess in my head what it was when I
was watching this episode is it's like, and it must
be just because we've all been there with different animals
and different things like that. I knew you were all
concentrating on the fact that there's a pig on the set.

(14:48):
I mean that's like, that's what's in your mind. Is
you've got the pig or you've got the stunt.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
Are you wearing this? You're so you're not consciuts as
much as your performance. But it didn't.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
I liked and we'll get into it obviously, but I
liked kind of your whole yourself, it's your you're saving yourself,
and like, you know, I like that. I thought that
was a cute story.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
Yeah, line, I.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Thought Tony was great in this episode, and and yeah,
I just felt like a felt like a boy.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Sony showing off the guns in this episode. Dude, several
different tank tops in this in this.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
Episode, well, let's jump into our recap. We are in
the school hallway. Sean asks Cory or Dewey from the
hitching post, if you're nasty, that's what a shirt says,
he remembers the if he so, Sean asks Cory if
he remembers the goldfish he used to have, and Corey
responds to the turtle and Sean says yes, and then
he finally replaced him.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Then I'm sorry, is that Sean Hunter best outfit? This
is like weird color combination, but it actually looks good.
It's still kind of baggy, but it actually is a
little bit fitted better than others. So this is like
if I could pick one outfit to be representative of, Like.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
I was just gonna say your funk.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Yeah, if we're gonna go early Sean, right yeah, because
this is the define. No, I think the funkle pop
has to have the leather jacket, right yea, yeah, that's true,
but but pre leather jacket, Sean. This is this is it?
This is it?

Speaker 7 (16:08):
Like?

Speaker 5 (16:09):
Can I ask a question about this first joke?

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Is the joke that Sean doesn't get the difference between
a turtle and a goldfish, or that he named his
goldfish turtle.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
I think he didn't.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
Oh, I thought he just didn't understand the difference. He'd
like he didn't understand.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Okay, I honestly didn't get I was like, does he
not understand that the goldfish?

Speaker 6 (16:27):
And it's not yeah, it was a turtle, but he
remembers it as yeah. But then later we make a joke.
Corey makes a joke about not wanting to flush that
down the toilet. So then was it a goldfish?

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (16:37):
I don't know, It's very It was odd to me.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
So then Sean yells here boy, and an adorable squeak
squeaky pig comes running down the hallway. Corey says, I'd
hate to flush him down the toilet, probably probably recalling
the fate of said turtle. And then Sewan explains he
was at the trailer park, digging around where their house
used to be, and he found the pig gnawing on
Uncle Sal's old peg leg. Sal was there, he just
didn't notice the pig.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
And you were about to laugh when you were saying
that you did.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yep, there was. That was the moment. There was the
first time you went to laugh.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
I didn't see it was for me. I was like
burying jokes like I felt like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
You were feeding the pig. You had one hundred percent
at the time.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
You had to keep thinking about what you were saying
and trying to feed the pig and keep the pig happy.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
The other thing is the pig would they squeal?

Speaker 6 (17:21):
They start going any just for if they don't have
food for one second, they start doing that, so the
amount of like and then the take's ruined. They can't
be squealing over dialogue. So it's a very stressful situation
to be working with an adorable pig. Corey says he
realizes he's been spending too much time with the panga
and that Sean has has responded by replacing him with
a pig. Sean says, no, the piglet has nothing to

(17:43):
do with him. The school bell rings and he picks
up little Corey to take to class. When Corey thinks
this proves his point, Sean says, it was the first
name that came to his mind, and yeah, this is
where you're holding him like a little dog. And I
could immediately remember what it felt like to hold them,
and they are just saying that they're trying to push
away from you, and they.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Are solid like little yea, like bricks.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, they're squirming everywhere, well everywhere, and if you touch
them the wrong way, they just start screaming.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yes, you guys know.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
That I've had a pig in my yard for the
last Your pig.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Your pig name is Bacon in Spanish, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
He's gone now? But yeah, no where what do you mean? Well,
so we had a school we ate him. No, we
had a school. We had a school in our yard
during the pandemic. We started a pod school with teacher
and uh, different families, and then we decided, even though
Indy went back to school, we decided to allow the
teacher to keep a preschool going in our yard. So

(18:39):
we have We've had like six families and kids coming.
And the teacher got a pot belly pig, which you
think when they're they're as small as little Corey, they're
going to stay that size. No, this toastino grew and
still so cute but like tusks and so really huge. Yeah,
so they just the school just moved out of our

(19:01):
yard like two months ago, but it's always we would
have a pig in our yard, like, oh my god.
The best was like one time I had a friend
over who was we were riding something together, and he's
like sitting here, you know, looking out my off my
office window, being like, so I think on this next
page we should there's a Oh my, oh that's a pig.
It was like, why is there some weird animal in
our backyard. He was ready to like freak out and

(19:23):
like call animal control or whatever.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Right, and then he was like, Oh, it's just the
pig you guys have.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
It's just a pig, but it's you know, they're so cute.
They're so cute when Tocino is little as the cutest thing.
But you don't pick them up. No, they're not. They're little.
They don't like to be picked up.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
You pet them animals, Yeah, not to sound like to Panga.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
To Pega walks over to the pet pig and asks
his name, and when Sean tells her it's little Corey,
she looks at both Corey and.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
The pig and says she can see it.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
To Pega says they need to help find him a
proper home, or he can run around. Sean gets defensive
and says, little Corey, I'm gonna call him l C
from now on, can run around with him, but she
disagrees to Penga questions Sean trying to raise a pig,
so Corey interjects by saying, anyway you slice it, it's
only a pig. The audience laughter here is a real
roar and it comes in like waves. They think that

(20:13):
line is very funny.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
And then computer button pushing because we didn't have an audience.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
We didn't have an audience.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
It's it's funny. They would then show it to the
audience if they, you.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
Know, the following week. They probably played it at the
beginning and captured laughter.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
That is what they used to do that all the time.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
They would not show them a previous episode.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Would No, we would watch it.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
No, No, they would show the entire episode and we
can see it in our dressing rooms, and they would
record the laughter.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
That's one hundred percent correct.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Wow, yeah, yeah, watch an entire episode.

Speaker 6 (20:46):
We would watch because we would we wouldn't have seen them,
so we would watch like while we were in here
and makeup or going in and out of our dressing rooms.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
We would be able to see them on the feed.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Started season one, before the show was aired, they would show,
the audience would come in, they would show episode before
then they would if they didn't have enough laughter, they
would show the entire episode and they'd capture.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Did you guys notice the gene invasion, the denim invasion?
Jeans which I never I don't maybe this look. I
don't normally wear jeans as sean, and so you were
like slacks, the gallow pants, the pants. Yeah, up until now,
I have not worn jeans as much, I don't think

(21:27):
because I noticed it, and I think that's part of
the reason why I like this out there. It was
like I'm wearing what I would wear, and then Ben's
wearing Jeesus and that you were, man.

Speaker 5 (21:34):
You are You're yes, decked out in jean Uh.

Speaker 6 (21:39):
Did you guys also notice that Ben seemed to be
doing a different thing in this open I feel like
Ben was like Ben was a cool guy, like being
a real cool guy.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
It was. It was.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
It also, I think a lot of it has to
do with the fact that for the last few it
seems like a last bunch of episodes. The driving factor
behind the show is Sean, yes, and so it just
seems like it's switching to it has entirely Sean is
the star of the show. He's driving everything, We're seeing

(22:12):
more of his home life, we're seeing what's going on,
and it kind of changed changes.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
But I also wonder how much of it, too, is
a Corey has a girlfriend now, and so there's like
he's he feels cooler.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
That amazing.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
He's getting older, like Ben's getting older and he's becoming
like a teenager. And I think that when you're a teenager,
you kind of want to be cool. Cool, and a
little bit fits Corey too, you know, like that Corey's
version of like being awkward would become attempts to be
kind of laid back and like cool. It makes perfect sense,
But you're right, it's it's not the same Corey. Like

(22:49):
it's a.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Slightly different and different yeah, very yeah, Yeah, it feels different.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
I don't love it.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
I don't love it either.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
I don't love and where Ben ended up right, like
ends up playing Cory as an old man. And I
think that that's a much more interesting version of Corey,
Like this version of like cool guy laid back.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
No, yeah, that's you. That should be you, and he
should be driving the episode, but they switched it, and
it's weird.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
A little bit.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
Well, he says, anyway you slice it, it's still a pig.
Corey and to pegu and Sean look at him disgustingly.
He says, what and you? You and Ben both look
like you're close to breaking here, and the pig is
going absolutely nuts in your arms.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
And then we're still in the school hallway.

Speaker 6 (23:30):
Sean says, school is more fun now that he has
a pig, but the fun is over as Phoene walks
down the hall.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
The pig has a cute little outfit on and he
runs into a piggy door that someone installed. Very quickly,
he puts it, put in the pig.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
Think when did that happen?

Speaker 1 (23:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
It just all of a sudden, there's a pig. There's
a pig door in there.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
Carry asks if Sean taught him that, but Sean says no,
he just somehow knows. And then Corey and Sean approached
Feoenie and Corey's guilty conscience blurts out, no farm animals here,
and Phoenie says the day is young and walks off,
and the line reading he gives is just perfect builds
in a line yep. Eric runs after Phoenie and shows
him he's been trying to find the right school for him.

(24:12):
He went from girls, girls, girls to college college College.
You have just one thing you're allowed to talk about
at the time, and now it's college, college College. He
opens a boudoir magazine, which is definitely a reference to Playboy,
and it's the Girls of the Ivy League special issue.

(24:32):
Phoene tries to walk off, but Eric asks if he's
ever heard of a college called Yale.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Apparently, according to Blutman, it was not written that way
in the script, and in the first run through, I said.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yale, amazing.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
I do not remember that.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
It sounds like a joke.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
You do mispronunciation joke all the time, funny, always funny. Yes,
it's possible. I'm full disclosure. I do not remember that
at all. So he says, totally makes sense. I completely
believe it.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
I do too.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
Phoeney looks at him and says, you mean Yale. Phoenie
tails him, tells him Yale is one of the best
schools in the country, but it's no party school. Eric says,
according to the girl in this magazine, floating on a
raft while reading a physics book, Yale Rocks, phoene tells him, Yeah,
if Phoeney tells him, he should be applying to places
more accessible, maybe a state school or a preschool.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Or a preschool.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
I love Bill. I love working with Bill so much.
He and I just clicked into this thing and it
was the greatest. I don't remember what episode he said
it to me, but after we they paired us up
and we could tell it was going to be the
two of us.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
He put his arm around me and he said, well,
it looks like you're my new ed Bagley.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
And it was just so cool. It was it.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Any scene with the two of you is enjoyable. Eric
says he has you.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
Still love him, I know, but work with him so much.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
I know, don't don't working with no? Do it over?

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Start over?

Speaker 5 (26:00):
I I love him so much. I love working with
him so much.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
Well, can you can you wink? Let's see you wink?

Speaker 5 (26:07):
Which o Your wink.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Looked a little? I was like, I can't wink like
I I like my other eyes so much.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
I can also do to do the big one like
that you do the big we know Danielle has Like Danielle,
I've got crazy control. I was gonna say amazing eye
control or AEC is.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
What they call it.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Correct, that's exactly right.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
I know we we've already moved on from from my
part of the scene, but this I wanted to bring
it up because it's not just in the scene, but
throughout last episode and this episode. I am in he
acne makeup cover.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Your skin doesn't have this episode too, you you can.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
It's also the wrong color. It looks very orange.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
My skin so caked in makeup. So this is like,
you know, what.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
It probably is is your skin is probably so dry
that what we're also probably seeing his flakiness, Like you're
probably so dry.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Oh gosh, it's a cycle. You get bad skin, and
the cake it with makeup, which doesn't help your skin,
and then you cake it again. I mean it's yeah, no,
my skin was bad too. I was in a bad
breakout on the side as well. You could tell when
you watch it again. But yeah, it's it's terrible.

Speaker 6 (27:29):
Eric says he has a question that needs a yes
or no answer. How many people get into Yale every year?
Phoene simply says no, no. Phoene explains, very good.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
If you have a dialogue in this little is some
of our best I really think this is clever and funny.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Funny, whip fast jokes.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
It just works, deed.

Speaker 6 (27:49):
Phoene explains it would take more than Eric's grades to
get into Yale, and Eric says he knows what he means,
and he's winking right back at him, and Phoene says, please.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
Don't, please don't.

Speaker 6 (27:58):
Then we are in Turner's apartment. Little Corey is licking
mister Turner's face, giving him kisses as he takes a
nap on the couch, and Turner says, oh, Catherine, a
little cat Tompkins. Of course, little cat Tompkins also her.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
It's a sitcom.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
I get it, but it's so unbelievable how this pig
is going on his face and he's sound asleep, like
oh cat, o cat.

Speaker 7 (28:25):
It's the chos on his chest and all, oh, you know,
like on the couch, and the pig approaches and then
just tried and.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Tried, like just put food on his face and get it.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
And you can see at the very start he is
kissing him, but then immediately the pig just starts squealing
because there is really no more food there, and the
pig's now pissed and just has to squeal working it,
I know. And then he realizes it's a pig looking
his face and we get tons of Tony spitting the
disgusting pig slobber off his face.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
Well, Tony is a ham.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
Oh but I'm fine, Turner yells at Sean. They had
an agreement. The pig can't kiss him anymore. Sean can
keep the pig, but Turner doesn't want to hear from
him or raise him. And then Shawn whispers pig hater,
which I think I thought's very cute, and he starts
feeding the pig with a bottle and we get a
big aw from the audience. And again, pig acting equals eating.

(29:24):
That's how you get a pig.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
You just keep it just like a right exactly.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
Here's here's some twizzers. Here's red vines. Go Go Act,
Go get out, Get out there, meat pals. Here's meat
puls Go Act.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Cory arrives and he has presents.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
For a little Corey a squirrel bank because he didn't
think shoving metal into a pig's back would be appealing
to him. Sean says he'll be able to meet Corey
Intopanga later at Chubby's, and Corey asks if it's a
good idea to leave little Corey alone. Sean says, yeah,
it's all in this book he's got called What to
Expect when You're Raising a Pig. Corey tells Sean that
Tapega is still upset about the pig, and Sean puts
little Corey down so they can talk.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
And again, I think these are all very cute, little
cute little moments.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Like I think the short thing Baron, I'm just like,
I don't know, maybe it's a Sean like why like
there's something it's just an an energy level thing.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
I just feel like I do think you're right that
it has to do with the audience, because I think
when when you would normally say we had an audience there,
and Corey says, like, you know, by the way, tapeng
Us still upset about the pig, you would then have
there would have been more time with you picking down
the putting the pig down.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
And saying, you know, excuse us, little Corey so we
can talk.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
You would have then had a laugh there, which would
have forced you to hold before you moved to Corey,
and that would have Yeah, and the fact that there
was no audience and we were constantly so worried about
what was going to happen, Like when you put that
pig down, the pig now has to run to the
pigs to the trainer and.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
There wait and you got to sit there and wait.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
So it's also possible it's an editing thing because I
wonder if the pig the pig trainer had to say
like come here, come here, come here, Mac, come here,
and in editing they had to cut that out.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
I was just gonna ask.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Clicker clicker with I think so, I think so yeah
for cats, but I couldn't remember if with with a pig,
if it.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
Was, I think so yeah. I also wonder.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
I also wonder, and I know I might be deep
diving psychology here, but you said at the beginning, maybe
you're going through something in your personal life, and maybe
you remember that without remembering it, and it's like it's
hitting you again.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Remember there was there is the episode where I got
dumped and had a break down backstage and my dad
was there and said, we can let's quit the show
right now. If you're unhappy, and it was this season,
so this could have been Okay, Marine broke up with
the Jackney covered rider getting dumped by Marine. Not enough roses, yeah,

(31:51):
white roses.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
So maybe that was it. I mean, maybe that's it,
and maybe you like is remembering that.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
I mean, honestly, I hope it was something very specific
to this week because if if the show continues this way,
and I'm gonna have to keep watching, sad writer like
not commit to line because like they're just like picking
up the book right here, right, Like that's a pretty
funny line. It's amazing, but like what to expect, like
vocal energy would make that joke right, Like you're saying,
it's just straight here in my book, my books, and

(32:19):
then you hit what the book title is and instead
I'm like, it's right here in the book. I just
feel like I'm so.

Speaker 7 (32:26):
Well.

Speaker 6 (32:27):
Sean says it's none of Tapanga's business, and Corey says
he told her that, but also that Sean will find
a home for the pig soon, and Sean doesn't know
why Corey would have said that. Corey wants to know
who keeps a pig in an apartment anyway, Sean thinks
Corey was fine with it before he talked to his girlfriend.
But Corey just doesn't want to take sides.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
And now at this point, are you guys starting to
go like, what is Topanga's problem with your pig? Yeah,
because like this is where I started going like, wait
a minute, wait, Pega had a problem with the pig.
I was trying to remember, like exactly what she said,
and I couldn't quite remember what she said in the homeway,
it's it's an animal rights thing, like.

Speaker 6 (33:02):
An animal rights running around space. I have to have
more space than being in an apartment. I think, which,
by the way, will be true when the pig does
weigh five pounds, right, and I.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Guess it was. I wish it was linked a little
bit more to like season one to Panga Animals, right,
like like does she say she's a vegetarian?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Nope, No, it's not a vegetarian.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
Too, like, because if she's not a vegetarian, what are
you talking about.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Is a vegetarian matter? I don't think you're planning on razors.

Speaker 5 (33:32):
I'm not going to eat it.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
I'm not going to eat him.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
It's not about It's not about it's more it is
about farm animals deserve to live on a farm the
same way like whales shouldn't be at sea world, you
know that idea that like they don't A whale shouldn't
be in a giant pool.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
The whale should be in the ocean.

Speaker 6 (33:48):
This is to Pega's version of a farm animal doesn't
live in the city. But the problem is, I've seen
Babe in the City and it works out fine.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Well, but it's also to me, is a vegetarian thing.
Is is a way to ground her animal rights activism
in some sort of like personal belief system that eyes
it to like like Corey knows that Topanga's a vegetarian.
What That's a great joke.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
That's a great joke.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
That day all just flew by it.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
That was a great joke. I've seen Babe in the City.
It turns south fine.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
It's a great movie. You seen that Lay in the
City So good was the director of and it's we're.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Laughing so hard and that joke and writer just right
by it, and I am tears streaming.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
It was so earnest.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
It was like I saw a documentary about this and
it turned out fine.

Speaker 5 (34:43):
I thought Babe in the City, well, I.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
Thought that we actually made a reference to something. We
had a line in here and I.

Speaker 6 (34:49):
Do say that, I say it, I say it later,
I say, well, that's.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
What happens when you have a pig in the city.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Yeah, And I was like, has the movie come out
yet when we did the Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
Anyway, sorry, writer, you were in the middle of something
very important.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Children. I feel like top like Corey's allegiance to to Pango,
would be more conflicted if he knew that she was
a vegetarian who like always advocated for animal rights, Like
if this was like an established part of her, which
it very easily could have been, because that was Tapega's
character in season one, right, that she has these strong feelings,
that they're ethically based, that their personal belief systems, and

(35:24):
that Corey, by allowing Sean to have this little hyjints
with a pig and not take it seriously, is betraying
something essential to his love or his understanding of Topang
as opposed to what it is, which is just Tapanga
has a different opinion, Like Topanga just has a different thing.
That's that's also how raising their animal but.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Stay out of it, right, But that's the whole point
is that it's it's supposed to be about Corey for
the first time being stuck between Sean and Topanga, and
he doesn't know, he doesn't care about what Tapanga is saying,
but he's got a hass to side with his girlf
You have decide with your girlfriend.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
I think the bigger issue is that, to writer's point,
that is what it is about for Tapanga, but they
don't set that up for her at all.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
They don't give her.

Speaker 6 (36:10):
They don't say here's my POV and why this is
my POV.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
They just say my POV is.

Speaker 6 (36:16):
That it's my business what you do with your business,
which makes her unlikable. Like I I don't disagree with that.
I completely did not like her through this episode. And
yet when you say all of those things like I
fight for animal rights and we coexist and we all
you know, we all need to have you need to
treat this animal with the respect that it deserves, and

(36:37):
taking an animal who's raised on a farm their natural
instincts and bah blah blah bah they are need space and.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
All your good argument argument.

Speaker 5 (36:44):
She's not supposed to have a good argument.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
That's why at the end she's supposed to look at
Turner and say, I've made a mistake.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
Right, she can still have a good She can have
a good argument and still realize this isn't my place.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Because she can, she could have still said the exact
same thing.

Speaker 6 (37:02):
Well, I've made a mistake, which is even though I
still think I'm right, a pig does not live in
the city.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
I overstepped my bounds. Maybe I felt like.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
I had an authority over Shawn's life and I expected
Corey to take my side, and like that is that
is a great they tried to do. Of course they
didn't give her a good enough argument. And you shouldn't
be judging you're just like you. And then Corey, Corey
caving to Tapanga isn't based in anything good. It's just

(37:33):
you're watching Corey make a dumb messa. It be you know,
not that's that awful boyfriend things you're wanted until the
end where then he's like, no, I can't believe you
did that.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
I'm siding with my best friend. Like I only sided
with you because you're my girlfriend. I mean, even Alan
says he's got his girlfriend. He has to you don't
have a choice, But that's what you do when you're
fourteen and you side with your girlfriend, you're not self
aware enough to be like, what if I think about that?
It's like, oh my girlfriend said this, and I've been
with two months and it's a brand new relationship and
I love her.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
Of course I'm with you, babe. I mean, that's what
you do when you're fourteen.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
So it's not till later where he really had a
chance to think about it where he's like, wait a second, Wow,
you really overstepped here. Now you called somebody. What the
hell are you thinking now? Now I'm with my best friend.
It's just your knee jerk reaction when you're a kid.
Is like kissing this girl, like to kiss her, want
to keep kissing her. Of Course I'm with you. It's
I think that's as far as he thought it through,
and I think that's what they were trying to do.

Speaker 5 (38:24):
But you're right, the argument of it did come.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Off like you wanted a lot of times to be
looking at the screen and being like, what business is
this of yours?

Speaker 4 (38:32):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (38:33):
You know you?

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Hear we barely know you, girl.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
You haven't even been in a bunch of episodes, and like, now,
all of a sudden, it just felt very I was
very uncomfortable with it.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
I just trying to force this relationship on us still,
and now with this episode, they're also trying to force
that Topanga and Sean have been friends for your Oh well.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
We're gonna get to that.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
Don't don't worry.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Don't worry.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
It's they're trying to just wedge this in now, like, no,
she's always been there, and it's no, she hasn't.

Speaker 5 (39:01):
We've gone through this, she has.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
I think you can have the exact same dynamic that
you're describing without making Tapanga such a shrew you know, yes,
I feel like she becomes a caricature of the controlling
girlfriend as opposed to a girlfriend with her own opinion
that Corey succumbs to because he's a little boy who
does how to stand up for himself, Like that is
a great point, And instead it's like there's just no

(39:24):
consideration for Tapanga as a character. There's no development, there's
no so it's just make her a cardboard cutout of
the shrewish girlfriend that.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah, they did it, completely did badly. Now I don't
disagree with that.

Speaker 6 (39:35):
So Sean says, only Topanga has a problem with the pig,
and just then Turner walks out in a tank top,
saying he has a problem with the pig, and I
could only think of the Bruh meets World Guys, siege
and tc. That makes sense here. Also, the pig left
mister Turner a little gift on his pillow. Sean asks
if there was a card, and we are then in

(39:56):
the Matthew slash Fieni backyard. Eric comes outside to find
Phoene gardening, something Phoenie apparently does at all hours whenever
he is home.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Says, my garden, everyone loves it.

Speaker 6 (40:07):
Eric says he thought about what Phoene said about having
friends at Yale.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Then he purposefully drops a paper on the floor. He
refers to himself in third person, hoping the.

Speaker 5 (40:15):
Best take for the paper drop or it falls on
my own feet.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
We didn't have a better take, or it actually coudn't.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
See what it was.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
Yeah, I have a potentially really dumb question. Was this
fence always there? Yes?

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Yeah, I'm sorry the gate The gate was the gate
not always? No, it comes and goes, It comes and goes.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
In the last the last episode also opens the fence.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
It's weird when it opened it in the last episode
because I watched it open and.

Speaker 6 (40:39):
I was like, wait a minute, No, there used to
one hours all across it open.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
It didn't.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
You're okay.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
I was like, there's never been a Gate the new
Gate alert.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
That is weird.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
I wondering if it's a new Gate alert. I should
have said it.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
Yeah, you're right because because.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Last episode had opened and the way they shot it
with it open from the angle they had it made
the fence look like it banked.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Yeah, it was really weird.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
And like show it was like, oh that's jarring.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
It's like, oh, they put it the red carpet that, yes,
exactly a ledge that you saw yep, exactly.

Speaker 6 (41:12):
So Eric refers to himself in third person, hoping Feenie
will pick it up. Phoene tells him that Eric dropped
it and he should pick it up, so Eric does.
It's an envelope with two box seats to the opera.
Phoene asks if it's a bribe. Eric says, it's just
him doing something nice for feenne hoping one day Phoenie
will do something nice to him.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
And then he coughs Yale twice.

Speaker 6 (41:31):
Yale pill so good, Phoene says he will do something
for him. Places like Yale embrace young people with culture,
so he will pick him up at seven thirty.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Looks like he found an opera date. And Eric says,
Phoene say what.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
I don't know?

Speaker 3 (41:47):
I think right?

Speaker 1 (41:49):
I say what?

Speaker 4 (41:50):
Yeah, it's like says what Asphinter says what, Yes, it's
that's that's what they're doing right. Yes, it doesn't make
any sense. No, because you say, Phoene says what I
think it's.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Supposed to be, just to like like a like a
what you're talking about?

Speaker 5 (42:03):
Willis right?

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Totally yeah, really weird ones catchphrase.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
No, but here's the thing I wrote down. It's not
a Phoene call, but it has phoene call energy in it.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
It does we're getting there finding something.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
Correct, the phoe Phoenie adjacent.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Yes, Phoene call adjacent or the zygote I love all
of these. That's it's exactly what it is.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
It's the primordial soup out of which the Phoenie call
will rise.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Yes, yes, prim soup T shirt.

Speaker 6 (42:38):
Sean is talking to a bunch of girls at Chubbies
who are watching the pig Eat of course on top
of the pool table and this seems like something Chubby
should put a stop to.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Yeah, this feels like, yeah, I mean the fault. Who
am I to judge?

Speaker 6 (42:55):
To Panga Corey and to Panga enter into Pega says,
I thought you said you talked to Sean about the pig,
and Corey says, maybe it's another pig because they travel
in groups. To Panga tells Sean she's not trying to
be mean, but she just doesn't think it's fair for
a pig to be living in an apartment. And here's
another time where Topanga basically says the same thing she
said in the hallway, where she says a pig needs

(43:15):
room to run around.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
That if they had just given her.

Speaker 6 (43:20):
A couple of specifics, a couple of things about disagree whatever,
you could have maybe seen that she has a bleeding
heart for this pig and she truly is not trying
to offend Sean.

Speaker 4 (43:33):
Is a sympathetic point of view at all? Bank ahead, No,
because I'm just sitting here going what is this conflict?
I know, like I just want her to go away,
stop talking.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
It's awful that we should all get something else. We
should say that.

Speaker 6 (43:44):
I could also see her like her realization coming to
in the end is more about I said my opinion
once and he he he heard it, and he's not
going to do that. I now have to let it go.
You cannot just keep shoving your opinion down someone's throat
over and over again when they don't agree with you

(44:06):
and expect them to just like, how is this not
getting any better?

Speaker 3 (44:08):
So actually made it even a little worse because it
starts with her coming in saying I thought you were
going to talk to him about it, which means that
she was saying to Corey, you have to do something
about it and do something about that. So it actually
makes her even worse because it's not even she's not
just doing it herself, but now she's telling her his
best friend, no, no, no, you got to go and do
something and make make sure that we pull the pig

(44:29):
from him too.

Speaker 5 (44:30):
And so, yeah, you really don't like her very much.

Speaker 6 (44:32):
Yeah, Sean says, according to his book, farm Animals make
great pets, Farm Animals make great.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
Pets, and writer another book joke.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
Regardless of how you feel about your performance, these are
some really good line readings. That's a great deal. That's
an okay joke. And that was a great line reading.
I agree, thanks, very funny read to Hanga questions what
will happen when the pig is five hundred pounds sitting
on the couch not moving, and Sean says he never
stopped loving aunt Gloria, which love the aunt and uncle references.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
We get, but you'll just continue the great read from you.

Speaker 6 (45:01):
Topega says Corey feels the same way, and she asks
Corey if that's right. Corey doesn't answer Topanga right away
and then says they're both right. Seawan and Tapanga say
they can't both be right, so Tapanga asks whose side
Corey is on.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
And I it's like the conflict.

Speaker 6 (45:16):
Yeah, he thinks about it and then says he's on
topanga side, and Sean encourages him to leave with her
because he can't leave his girlfriend waiting.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
Tapanga has overstepped her boundaries. In my opinion, we barely
even know who this person is, and now she's already
super unlikable. It is weirds me out. Then we're in
the Matthew's kitchen. Corey is on the phone trying to
get a hold of Sean.

Speaker 6 (45:38):
He explains to his parents that Sean was with a
pig last night, and then Alan stops him and says
he raised better.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
He raised him better than for Corey to talk like that.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
Whoa, whoa, whoa is better than to talk like that.

Speaker 6 (45:51):
Corey explains it wasn't a girl, it was a real pig.
He says, Sean loves the pig, but Tapega thinks he
shouldn't keep the pig in an apartment. Corey says he
agrees with Topanga, but Sean is right too. Amy and
Allan say even though he agrees with both sides, he's
still sided with Topanga, and Alan says it's because he's
a guy. And Amy hits him on the head with
a great little piece of business that she does and

(46:11):
it's like we've talked about.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
That was a real smack and it looks good.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (46:17):
Alan says he shouldn't have taken sides because being caught
between your friend and your girlfriend is tough. It's not
always easy in the real world. And then Eric comes
downstairs singing I'm going to yeah, and Alan says it's
a little easier in his world.

Speaker 5 (46:31):
Because he hates Eric, hate him. He's got one child.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
It's down to one kid now, Alan and Amy one.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Kid, last Morgan or it's in his own world.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
They don't care about Eric. They're down to one kid.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
So then we're in the school cafeteria. Sean is eating
lunch with little Corey because the pig has to eat.
Corey sits down next to him and apologizes for siding
with Tapanga, but he doesn't want a little thing like
this to get in between their friendship. Corey says, it's
only a pig. Sean says he's only a pig to
Corey Henga.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
And this is where I realized that they the writers
watched the home episode with the metaphor of the dog.
Let's do an entire episode that plays out this idea
with a with that's you know, I wonder the inspiration

(47:24):
for this episode come for. I would love to talk
to Blutman about it, because I imagine somebody had to have,
like had some because obviously they were just like, let's
get a pig on the show. That'd be cute and funny,
and they were right, like it is cute and funny,
but like, how do we make that work and fit
it in with our characters? Like why, like where did
this come from?

Speaker 6 (47:44):
I mean, I wonder why a pig versus any other
I mean, I guess you know the conflict. They figured, Okay,
we can have to Panga have an issue with this,
because if it was a kiddie, to Panga wouldn't care
about you having a cat or a dog in an apartment, That's.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
What it just also wouldn't be that cute, right, I mean,
the fun of this episode is that there's a big yeah,
that's ridiculous, and people it might have been.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
A full size cow, like full size thousands of pals.

Speaker 6 (48:08):
Sean says he's only a pig to Corey, to Panga
and whoever abandoned him. He explains the trailer park manager
told him his owners drove off and just left him.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
No home, no family, nothing.

Speaker 6 (48:17):
And I know we're kind of laughing about the metaphor
that we had in the bedroom, but I do like
this idea that that Sean relates to. There are there's
no one in his life human who he can relate
to quite like this who has been passed from home
to home, who's been abandoned. And he keeps looking for
people to be like, are you like me? Who's like me?

(48:38):
And he feels this this sense of likeness with the pig,
which I like.

Speaker 5 (48:42):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 6 (48:43):
Sean says he's been in the same situation as little Corey.
He's not mad at Corey for taking to Panga side
because he probably would have done the same thing.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Corey says.

Speaker 6 (48:50):
Pigs and women man, Sean says, yeah, it's like my
dad said, they'll both break your heart.

Speaker 5 (48:55):
I want that shirt so cute.

Speaker 4 (48:57):
Pigs and women man, they'll both break your Heart'll both
break your heart.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Now.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
I miss Blake Clark. When is he coming back too?

Speaker 4 (49:05):
He'll be around? I don't great, no idea.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
I can't wait for that.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
I actually don't know how much of the third season
he plays.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
If he's in it at all, because it's all you
and I know.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Well, we had the phone call episode where he called in,
but that's not the same. I want him back with you.

Speaker 4 (49:18):
I want to feel like he might not come back
until after Jack, like after Matt's on the show. Which
is is it that far? Really? Wow? I don't remember
how I've got I think the point of the point
of the Sewan storyline for the next two seasons is
that he's been abandoned, but he's alone.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
I don't know, he's only there and Tony leaves after
season three. After after season three, so Sean's got to
live with somebody in between.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Will find out when we watch, we'll find out where
it's coming.

Speaker 5 (49:46):
In three years.

Speaker 6 (49:57):
Turner's apartment, Corey and Seawn are washing little Corey in
a tub on the kitchen counter. You'll be surprised to
hear the pig is eating again. Corey says it's killing
him that his girlfriend and best friend aren't speaking. Sean
says it's Tapanga's problem and he's just trying to live
his life like any normal teenager. And then he asks
to pass the pig shampoo again. Great read, funny joke,
but the minute Sean says that it's Tapanga's problem, Hunter, Yeah,

(50:21):
you're right, that's it. You win if Tapang is the
one with the problem. You're just trying to live your life.
Get the heck out of here.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Yeah, And then Cory oversteps his bounds and just says
he invited to pank over to show her what a
great home little Corey has and how great this is
for Sean. Sean asks, well, why would you do that?
And Corey says, come on, I'm your friend, and Sean says, well,
Topanga isn't okay.

Speaker 6 (50:45):
So even though we've had multiple conversations and scenes about
where and things that make them seem like they're friends,
I think we've tried to imply that Sean is very
clear that Tapanga and Sean are not friends.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
Okay, it'd make for such great conflict going down the
line of the show, yes, if we can.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
Well, But I think that one of the one of
the the sort of assumptions that goes into this show
is it is it is a generational assumption about men
and women friendships and bad girl friendships. I think that
there's an assumption that, like, you stay within your own
gender with friends, So like I don't think Sean would
consider to Panga a friend at this age, at this time.

(51:28):
Does that make sense? Like, I don't know, Like I
think that this is something that's like with my son,
like he considers boys and girls friends equally. But I
feel like back in the nineties, like you didn't have
friends of the opposite gender.

Speaker 5 (51:41):
ID I did too, I did, I did too.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
But I'm saying like, but it was an assumption. Well,
then maybe it was the previous generation that was writing.
There's an assumption going into this that like that she
is his best friend's girl, right, not she's not like
part of his friends, I know.

Speaker 6 (52:00):
But like we have set up in other episodes that
you can read me you have a crush on Cory
and like.

Speaker 4 (52:07):
Well that's why I love that scene.

Speaker 6 (52:08):
And I know, yeah, I liked it too that it
was like it was the three of us who knew
each other, but now Corey and Topanga were just having
a different relationship.

Speaker 4 (52:16):
So it's just well conflict, I mean, you always need conflict.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Also, it's just clearly have no idea who Topanga is anymore,
what to do, No, none agree, It's just completely just
a p by week.

Speaker 5 (52:34):
Exactly.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (52:35):
Well, the doorbell rings and Corey begs Sean to talk
to Tapanga just for him. Sean says, one dig at
him or little Corey, and she's gone to Pega walks in,
says hy to Corey. Then tell Sean the light bulb
and the hallway is out, and he may want to
tell the super. Sean yells, that's it out. Corey tries
to tell Sean there was no dig and he agrees
he might be a little lower sensitive to Pega.

Speaker 5 (52:53):
Is ready very all funny.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Very funny.

Speaker 5 (52:56):
Writer yep.

Speaker 6 (52:57):
Topanga is ready for Sean to prove how this is
a good home for the pig, but Sean says he
doesn't have to prove anything to her. And again, you're
one hundred percent right, this should be over. You are
in the right here. Corey does his best to step
in and say how great of a parent Sean is.
For example, right before Tapega got there, he was bathing
the pig. Then Corey looks over to the tub on
the counter and.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
Uh oh, little Corey is gone.

Speaker 6 (53:19):
Sean runs over to the empty tub and says, I
left him in there so long. He turned to broth again. Writer,
great joke, great joke.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Perfect read.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
How how do they not hear the pig jump off,
get out of the bath, jump off the table and
walk by the three of them.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
That could jump off the door.

Speaker 5 (53:36):
In the doorway, Like how did the Yeah?

Speaker 3 (53:39):
I know, And it's like you'd have to go through
the legs of you have to go through six legs
to get out of the door.

Speaker 4 (53:45):
Like the blocking was why I went behind the cameras.

Speaker 5 (53:48):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (53:51):
Exactly.

Speaker 6 (53:53):
Corey notices the open door and Sean blames Tapega for
letting him escape to point to. Pega points out that's
what happens with pin pigs live in the city, which,
like I mentioned, is not true because I watched in
the city and.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
It's pick in the city. Is the Andy a couple
of years ago? It is so good? Oh my god,
it's so good.

Speaker 6 (54:13):
Sean goes out to look for Little Corey and Corey
says he'll stay by the phone, and Casey calls. Just
then Turner walks in holding Little Corey, who was outside
heading towards the rib shack, and Sean fearfully says, suicide
is an amazing read writer.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
You guys, you guys, I agree. I think the joke
is funny.

Speaker 5 (54:35):
I know you're way too harsh on your way, too harsh.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
It's so good.

Speaker 6 (54:39):
Turner says, the pig has been nothing but trouble, and
Topega says she did the right thing by calling animal control.

Speaker 4 (54:46):
Yike, are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (54:50):
Yeah, that's huge, that's huge.

Speaker 6 (54:53):
Sean, scared of to Panga's actions, is leaving with Little
Corey and asks Corey if he's coming with him. Corey
thinks about it for a minute, then walks right past
the p get to leave with Sean. Tapega tries to
stop him, but Corey says she's put him in the middle,
and as much as he loves her, that wasn't right,
and calling animal control was too far.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
Binga think, yeah, I actually get like fined and like
Sean could go, yes, it's.

Speaker 7 (55:16):
Not just.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
The cops called the pig cops.

Speaker 4 (55:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (55:21):
Sean and Corey leave to hide little Corey. Turner asks
Topanga if she's okay, and she asks why he lets
Sean keep the pig even though he doesn't like him.
Turner says, it seems important to Sean, and when you've
had the kind of life that he's had, Sean needs
the pig more than the pig needs. Sean to Panga
in point four seconds and rapid time, realizes that she
made a big mistake. But you would never know that

(55:43):
because I don't let you know with any sort of
acting ability at all.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
It's just robot. It's a mistake, but it's also it's
also in the writing too. He's said, are you okay?
Why do you let him keep the pig? Well, because
Sean needs the pig. I made a mistake, that's all.
That's all. That's it.

Speaker 6 (56:07):
Sean's told you that multiple times it's my pig, leave
me alone.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
What I don't Why Also such a change in Topanga,
because first season Topango, or even part of second season
to Pango would have seen this herself, with her amazing
amount of empathy, that she'd be the one kind of
saying no, don't you understand Sean needs the pig more
than the page. She'd be the one driving all this.

(56:31):
So it's really weird. They have no idea what they're
doing with your character anymore.

Speaker 4 (56:35):
I don't want to.

Speaker 6 (56:35):
I don't want to keep harping on it. Then I
have a hard time not doing We are at the opera.
Eric and Feenie are sitting on the balcony at the opera.
Eric throws a paper airplane of the opera.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
It's all blurry.

Speaker 5 (56:48):
I remember this seems a ton of fun because it
was just Bill and I.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
That was it.

Speaker 5 (56:53):
It was Bill and I and and just saying dialogue.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
It was awesome, so much fun.

Speaker 6 (56:59):
When the paper airplane glides to the lower level, he
yells heads and defeated. Phoene says, I trust that's your
last one. Eric says he's dying. They've been there for
two hours, but Phoene explains it's only been ten minutes.
Phoene tells him to settle down and enjoy the evening,
but Eric says, what's to enjoy. We got three fat
tenors going at it in Italian. Then Eric starts singing
I'm futterer than you are, and the couple next to

(57:21):
him tell Eric to.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Hush sh Eric.

Speaker 6 (57:24):
Starts to tell Feenie he appreciates him helping get into Yale,
but Phoene cuts him off and says he couldn't get
him into Yale. He couldn't even get him into a
Yale sweatshirt, which is another great line. Eric says Peenie
took his opera tickets and didn't complete the other half
of the deal, but Phoene says the only deal he
made is to be his teacher and his friend and
to help make Eric a better person. But Eric doesn't

(57:44):
want to be a better person. He just wants to
party with the girl on the raft, and Phoene tells
him he won't be doing that at Yale, so Eric
says he came here for nothing. Phoene asks what if
Eric does meet the girl on the raft or another
girl and she has a passion for culture like opera
because after this evening he would have something to talk
to her about. Eric says, it's a nice try, but
this kind of stuff is lost on a guy like him.

(58:05):
Eric gets up to leave, but then he recognizes the music.
It's bugs, Bunny Bugs, sonny funny.

Speaker 5 (58:14):
You know what I love about Chris. I love that.

Speaker 3 (58:18):
Feene is different with everybody else on the show than
he is with Eric.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
He realizes that kind of the subtle tea that he
has with everybody else is lost on Eric. So he's
very straightforward with him, very You're not going to Yale.
It's not gonna happen. Here's why I brought you here.
It's such an interesting dynamic between the two of them,
and it's seeing Feene totally different than he is with
anybody else on the show.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (58:41):
It's really cool. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 6 (58:43):
There's also a little bit of like we've talked about
how with Corey, we we're pretty confident Corey's gonna turn
out okay.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
So even when Corey is acting.

Speaker 6 (58:52):
Like a little bit of a dumb dumb with Sean
Phoene can be a little sarcastic and just walk off
because ultimately he knows he's okay, but it really you
do get the sense that Feene knows you may not
be yeh, and he needs to work with you. He
needs to find a way to connect with you and
to have the separate relationship with you, which is really
nice and also exactly what every incredible teacher, like our

(59:15):
own Wesley Staples, David Combs what they do.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
Yeah, yeah, I do. Miss Corey Feene dynamics me too,
because especially the last time we really saw it was
Danger Boy, right Danger Yeah, this is a Danger Boys
in the name of the episode. Yeah, just so great
when they sort of bond over their you know, fussiness
and like and how and everyone misjudges them. I want
to I want that back. I want Corey. And then

(59:39):
I think think about the end of season one when
Phoene's in the hospital. Those are like great scenes, and
I think that's gone for a while. Now it's gone.

Speaker 5 (59:47):
I think it's gone.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
It comes back later, but I almost think it comes
back only to allude to what it used to be,
as opposed to coming back for what it was, if
that makes sense.

Speaker 5 (59:58):
So it's uh, yeah, it's interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
They've kind of they've paired up Eric and Feenie now,
and I think this is kind of what you're going
to see, yeah, which is great. I mean totally it's
a different dynamic, but I know what you mean. Yeah,
those were great scenes with Feenie and Corey.

Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
Yeah, really worth So Phoene corrects Eric that it's Wagner
and Eric says they're talking cartoons.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Phoene is way out of his league.

Speaker 6 (01:00:19):
This is great usage of public domain music, by the way, Yeah,
really good usage. It's all it's when you have to
use public domain stuff, it can be hard to work
it in. But this was really great.

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
My first thought when Eric turned around, I was like,
is he going to say apocalypse now? And right right,
I was like, what does he recognize that?

Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
I remember it was buggers?

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
This bug's bunny.

Speaker 6 (01:00:36):
And then we're in the Matthews living room. Corey and
Sean have moved the pig and are hiding him at
the Matthews house. Sean asks, isn't it obvious to move
him here, and Corey says, no, hiding the pig at
old McDonald's house, now, that would be obvious. Cory says,
if he knows Tapanga, he bets she didn't even call
animal control and then perfectly timed the doorbell rings. Corey
says he's a big, fat, stupid head, and he walks
over to answer the door, and as predicted, it's Victor

(01:00:58):
from Animal Control played by Richard Karn, who deserved the
Room McClanahan treatment but doesn't get it because we know
it's like.

Speaker 4 (01:01:05):
There's this moment where he gets off the glasses. I
was like, well, oh, I know you want it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
He deserves it. I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
You figured the audience is going to know him way
better than they knew Rue McClanahan.

Speaker 4 (01:01:16):
Yeah, right, Well, the problem is we didn't do it
in front of a live on and so he missed
out the opportunity to like to take the pause and
make that appearance, or to take the pause. But you
think if I were directing this, I would have inserted
it right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
And then there's an uproarious applause. You hold there.

Speaker 4 (01:01:31):
Yeah, I know the show on television at the time.
Ye you know. But maybe that's part of the problem
is that he was already he was like a regular
in everybody's household, so like, yeah, they're just used to it. Yeah,
maybe you know because rum McLanahan was like a callback
to like remember her from you know, three or four
years ago or whenever. Girls, this is still yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
True yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:01:53):
Victor says, by law, he's required to show his badge,
and then he flashes Sean and Corey's driver's license. He
explains his animal can they don't give him badges? Victor
starts looking around and says, you got a pig?

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
I want him.

Speaker 6 (01:02:04):
Sean asks Victor to describe the pig, and Victor says
he looks like a great big lion. Sean says, oh,
that's not our pig, which, again.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
I also love how instantly Sean changes when he's around authority.
He becomes schemer again, like, well, wait a second, let
me like he's been this quiet kind of hey, I
want to be with the pig, but now there's somebody
with authority around, and he instantly becomes like a wells,
I mean's such a trailer park kid thing authorities around,
authorities around.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
Well, let's see if we can get rid of this guy. Well,
describe it.

Speaker 5 (01:02:32):
Like he instantly changed again. I thought that was cool.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
It is cool.

Speaker 7 (01:02:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:02:35):
Corey asks Victor to vacate his home or else he'll
be forced to call the animal control control people, and
Sean says, that's right, little Corey. And then Little Corey
the pig comes downstairs right on que probably because somebody
told him we have food.

Speaker 1 (01:02:49):
Sean says, okay, who shaved the dog?

Speaker 5 (01:02:51):
Shaved the dog.

Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
Victor puts a leash on Little Corey and says the
neighborhood is not zoned for pigs. He says to keep
it on the QT, but he has a twenty foot
boa his truck he can slip Sean if he wants it.
Sean asks if he can just say goodbye to Little Corey.
He takes the little pig aside and says he's going
to find out where Little Corey ends up so he
can go visit him, because he knows what it's like
being passed from home to home. I did think there

(01:03:14):
could have been we could normally we talk so much
about how when something sentimental to play opposite the sentimentality.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
But I did feel like there was a moment.

Speaker 6 (01:03:22):
Here where I was almost like, Sean seems relieved to
have the pig, Like Sean seems like, you know what,
honestly this was about.

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
Should have actually been sad, Like yeah, you're a little
more torn up.

Speaker 6 (01:03:33):
I felt like maybe there there could have been a
room for there to be a little more right.

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
If this were a Jeff Sherman's script, Yeah right, or
a Matt Nelson's script, I imagine Sean would have had
a monologue to the pig.

Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
Yeah something, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:49):
I guess I'll see later, little guy. Yeah we're going
to be okay. You can know you're gonna lose your
best friend, your best friend's girl, exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:04:01):
Yeah, there could have been just I felt like there
was a little something missing there. So Sean is about
to handle little Corey back, but to Panga walks in
just in the nick of time and says, you can't
take this pig. Victor pulls out his notes and reads
off to Pango Lawrence going out with Corey Matthews for
two months. I'm way too overqualified for this job. To
Penga says, after she called animal control, she found an
ad for a lost pig and called its owners, so

(01:04:22):
now they don't have to take little Corey away. The
owner walks in, who happens to be mister Turner. Turner
says the pig belongs to his boy z. Then everyone
says Zed.

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
And Danielle, you take a moment to look directly at
the camera, do I you do? You do want somebody
Scanner rounds like I don't know what you're to go about,
Like you make nice eye contact with it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:48):
Everybody there in the.

Speaker 5 (01:04:49):
Audience, right.

Speaker 6 (01:04:50):
I can't wait to add that to my list of
other things I do that are terrible Turner jokes. Actually
my arc is outside and I'm one pig short. Victor
isn't happy and tells Turner over your head, we're going downtown.

Speaker 4 (01:05:02):
Did you guys think the Z thing was a reference
to pulp fiction?

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
Oh? I never thought of it. Jenson Karp just said yes.

Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
Yeah, because pulp fiction had come out either ninety four,
so this is ninety five. So it was like such
in the po all I could think was is this
a conscious pulp fiction reference? I said yeah, okay.

Speaker 6 (01:05:22):
So Turner asks if he's kidding, and he says, yes, too,
can play the sarcasm game. Victor hands mister Turner the pig, says,
give my best to Z and reveals the offer for
the twenty foot Boa still stands. Sean asks if he
has a card, and he scoffs no. They don't even
give us badges. Then he puts on his aviators and
he walks out. Richard Karn came in and just gave
us five solid minutes of carnage.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Richard Carnage. He's just a killer.

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
So much he doesn't have a podcast called Carnage.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Yeah, I'm producing that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:53):
One, really missing that opportunity.

Speaker 6 (01:05:55):
I want you guys to know we get some ish
for having super obscure merch, but uh, we were thinking
of making the animal control hat Richard Karn is wearing,
but we've decided to hold off because that might just
be too Niche. Turner says, Hunter, I must really like you,
and then he hands the pig back to him. Sean
asks Topanga why she changed her mind, and she says,

(01:06:18):
number one, it's not her pig, and number two, Sean
isn't just Corey's best friend, he's her friend too, And
I feel like someone should tell Topanga that the feeling
is not mutual, that Sean specifically said she's not my friend.
And now I'm just uncomfy with this friendship. Sean and
Topanga hug and Corey says, I think the pig is

(01:06:40):
tearing up and writer's feeding him again, because we have
to keep the pig here and we have to keep
him happy. So writer's feeding the piker, and then we're
in our tag. We're at the opera. It's the end
of the opera. Phoene is clapping and Eric is yelling
more while throwing flowers toward the stage. Poene is trying
to leave, but Eric is still yelling more. He says,
Feene opened up a whole new world for him, and

(01:07:01):
women will be so impressed with his knowledge of culture.
Eric yells fortissimo and waves his arms back and forth.
Phoene said he is tired and he wants to go home,
and Eric calls him cranky. Eric asks what happens if
he meets a girl who likes ballet and asks Phoenie
if they can go see that. Phoene says, yes, another
time when I felt like the writers here were influenced

(01:07:21):
by our very own genius teacher David Combs.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
Yeah, seems like they could have been.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
Definitely yeah, yep, So Phoene says yes.

Speaker 6 (01:07:30):
Phoenie keeps trying to leave, but Eric says he can't
leave until something big happens. Phoene says, nothing happens, It
just ends. Then Eric asks who the fat lady is
on stage and we hear singing. Eric says, all right,
we can go home now.

Speaker 5 (01:07:40):
Hi, we can go home there.

Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
Well, you must have had so much fun working with
Bill and these little moments where it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:47):
Was like we were both in tuxedos and we were
in the set we'd never been in before, and it
was just the two of us, and it was really.

Speaker 4 (01:07:53):
A lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
I loved scenes like this, just just Bill and myself
working together were some of my favorite moments.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
Yeah, yeah, just so fun.

Speaker 6 (01:08:02):
Every scene with you guys is enjoyable, So I love it.
