Speaker 2 (00:20):
So one of my secret talents that I'm not sure
you guys know about is that if if I had
any business sense or could wear a suit and tie
every day and make phone calls, you know, do like
like business person type stuff, I would be a very

(00:40):
good talent agent or maybe really manager. Yes, why why
let me? Let me? Let me give you evidence. So
I used to do a like, god, this is so
long ago. I used to do a podcast, or I
used to guest star on a podcast where they had
come up with a segment where I would just do

(01:03):
samples or I would talk about actors performances that I
really liked or appreciated and like so you know, I
just picked out like scenes and I would talk about
them and whatever. And one of the ones that I
picked was like right, I decided. I was like, oh
my god, I had seen this obscure movie and this
like English actor. I was like, this guy's got the thing,
Like this is going to be a movie star. And

(01:25):
by the time I went to go record the thing,
Andrew Garfield had already been cast as Spider Man. But
like I saw boy A back in Tribeca when it
was like his first I was like this guy, yes,
And so I got a text last year. I don't
think I told you guys about this, but I got
this text from my friend who's he's actually my lawyer,

(01:45):
but he's also my friend. We've been friends since college.
And he texted me and he's like, what the hell
is this alert that I have on my phone? And like,
what do you mean? He's like, it says bet with
Ryder from ten years ago about Lena Dunham's boyfriend on
Girls Wow, And I'm like what he had said? It alert?

(02:09):
And we went back and I list to the future.
And ten years before his alert, we had had dinner
together with him and his wife and me and my wife,
and we had gotten into an argument where I said
that guy is gonna be a movie star and he
was like, no, no, and I was predicting Adam Driver and.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
So he was like, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
He's like, so I guess I guess you're right, Like, yeah,
so what what do I win? We didn't write that,
but yeah, ten years because we we had clearly got
into it enough that he put an alert on his phone.
Because I don't know, do you guys ever see the
pilot for Girls? No? Yes.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
I was like, I'm just amazed at your talent that
you're able to watch someone who is already successful and
say they're gonna also.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Do this guy who's the star of a TV show
is gonna be somebody.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
It's weird.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
It's like you guys like don't remember the Adam Driver
thing though.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
No I do.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
But watching somebody on the street and saying that person's
got it, you're saying like I saw somebody in a
movie and thought that person's a good actor.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
No, that that person's going to be a megastar.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
A bigger star than me.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yes, obviously. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
So it's a very niche kind of kind of talent manager.
You want. You want to be a talent manager of
somebody who's already successful.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
That's what an agent does. Yes, it's like going to
the minor leagues and being like, come you are going
to You're gonna be in the majors one day, and
being able to spot that. Like I was having arguments
obviously with with somebody in the industry where they were
like I don't see it, and like I actually remember
getting into with Michael Jacobs about girls because I was
right around the time of Girl meets World Girl the

(03:52):
Girls pilot. He was like, I don't see it. I
don't I don't know know. He wasn't talking about Adam Driver.
He was talking about the show in general. I was like,
this is gonna be the biggest show. And I was like,
and that guy is going to be the biggest movie
star in the world.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
This is a good time for me to tell you
that I have a prediction now, Timothy Shallow may I
exactly that.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Kid is going Tom Cruise guy might make it. I
see him as a movie. Sorry, I'll keep my eye
and I'll give you guys predictions. I will do it now. Okay, Now,
I know you're open to it, if you're open, if
you're willing. But but I feel like, yeah, it's it's
you know, you got to you gotta keep your eyes
and yours open. If I was going to plays, because
I've done it before too, I was a.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
Play or something like that, I could see. I could
see that, all right, see that.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Many plays that are you know, because I saw I
remember Rachel Weiss. I saw her back in nineteen ninety five,
and I went back twice. I was like, this woman
is so unbelievable, and I was in you know, she
was probably twenty one, twenty two years old. I designed
for little I always going to be one, and I
was like this is you know. I was obsessed with

(04:53):
her and like no one knew who she was. And
then sure enough boom, like the biggest movie star and
she married James Bond.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
You've got the perfect platform to share your predictions with
all of us. Writer, don't get trying to get some credits. Yes,
start start letting us know when you see things, just.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
And when bet you they'll be like an actual prize,
You'll win something. Because it sounds like you didn't win anything.
Adam Driver got an amazing career and you didn't get anything.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, well, I mean hopefully this translates to being a director, right,
because the point is to be able to cast people
who who are being under add in their lane. And
that's like and this is like consistently what Hollywood does
to actors is that they're always underestimated because actors are
only judged by their context consistently, right, and like, so
people see somebody on a TV show and they're like

(05:39):
that they could never be a big movie star. They
see somebody, you know, as this as the best friend
on a sydcomm and they're like, they should never are
an older brother or drama.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yeah, do you think.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
That's I think that's changed a bit now though, because
television became so powerful that all the.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
Big movie stars jumped to TV.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
TV has changed, but the lines people still have such
a hard time seeing an actor out of context.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know, I don't know, you see a lot of
like you see kids nowadays, especially that are on some
sitcom or something.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Like the girl McKenna Grace was a better name.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yes, yeah, who was like on a sitcom or we're
just watching her on Designated Survivor And even then you
were like she's but then now she's blowing up and
she's got the Ghostbusters movies and stuff like that, So
I can see there's more like, you know, if if
a television show becomes huge, like when something like Stranger
Things where it just it's on everybody's lips, than those
are the kids that are picked to then be in movies.

(06:35):
So it's that's that's happened now more so than it
did back in the nineties. If you were a leav star.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Even being a Disney star when we were kids meant nothing.
But now it's like that's the path to superstar. Like
if you're on a Disney Channel show and then you
have a record deal, then you were like a movie
star within ten years or whatever. Yeah, no, that didn't happen, right,
But I still think I still think that it's hard
for people to see, especially like comic drama, drama to
comedy or just range, you know, like you basically get

(07:04):
cast as a variation in what you've already done.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
And do you see any do you see any movie
stars on this podcast with you?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
It's okay? Writer?

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Will you well?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Welcome back, Welcome back to the show. We really missed
you last time. Really we missed you. We're so having
your back. Please say say your.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Name right or strong not a huge movie star.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
And I'm Wilfordell whose dream has just been crushed on
this podcast.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Welcome to our show. Today, we are recapping season four,
episode eleven and a Fair to Forget It originally aired
November twenty ninth, nineteen ninety six. The synopsis. When Sean
is dumped by Jennifer, Corey begins bad mouthing her. When
Jennifer finds out about what Corey is been saying, she
takes Sean back on the condition that he ends his

(08:03):
relationship with Corey. So it was written by and this
is a bit of an odd credit teleplay by Jeff Sherman,
story by Eileen O'Hare, So this may be something. When
we have Jeff Sherman on again, we will have to
ask him what the situation was with that. I know
he has complained before that IMDb has some weird credit

(08:24):
stuff this week.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
We've never had a story by before.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
I don't think I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
So this must have been an outside script that got
rewritten because Aileen O'Hare was not a writer on her No. Yeah,
so when an outside script came in and then Jeff
rewrote it and then yeah, that's super interesting.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah. Guest starring Christanna Logan as Jennifer Bassett. She is
best known as the badass TX in two thousand and threes,
Terminator three, Rise of the Machines, and as Rain in
two thousand and five's Blood Rain, but she's also shown
up on Unhappily Ever After Slider's The L Word, burn Notice,
and much more. What did you guys think of the episode?

Speaker 4 (09:02):
I loved this episode. I absolutely loved everything about this episode.
I thought the A story was awesome. I thought You
and Ben were so funny. I thought the B story
was great. I thought the feene Eric stuff was good.
To me, this was a solid sitcom, funny episode. I

(09:24):
went back, I rewound things a bunch of times. I
really liked this episode.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, yeah, I think it's a plus writing. Like, I
think it's probably one of our best written episodes. So
I got something happened to me or the end of
this episode. It's interesting, I really, I mean, I know
this is a classic. I feel like this, Like I
didn't realize that this B story was part of this
A story either, and but I love both of them,
and I remembered both of them, and I remember beats

(09:50):
and moments, and you know, there's so many funny things.
So maybe my expectations were just a little high. But
something happened near the end, which was a little bit
of a bummer for me, and in a weird way,
I wish I could go back, not change a word
of the script and do it over again, like get
a second take, or maybe there were better takes. I
don't know, So I guess it's mostly about my performance

(10:10):
or the performances in general. Something sort of happens near
the end that I was not stoked on, So I
think we needed another day of rehearsal, or maybe one
day less of rehearsal something.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
What about you, Danielle.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
I had a total change of feeling about a quarter
of the way through the episode. I will be honest.
At the beginning, I was like, Ugh, I'm bored. I'm
bored of this idea of there's a girl and Sean's
been broken up with and she's gonna man handle him
and there's gonna be this ensorcelement.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
I was like, God, this that that's weird.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
I'm done with that. I never want to see that
storyline again. But then the minute it was revealed that
it was going to be the love story between the
two of you, I was hooked. Then I was like,
this was all worth it. It was worth that that setup
to get to this because I loved that. But at
the very beginning, I was like, oh no, I'm not

(11:07):
gonna like this episode, and then pleasantly surprised. I ended
up loving the episode, But when it first started and
I saw the setup, I was like, I'm not going
to enjoy this. So I was pleasantly surprised will your
b storyline is so funny, just so funny, so funny.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Also, I want to like again, I want to go back,
because we could do I just want to see the
one man show. I think we could just do a
whole episode of Boy Meets World. That is you doing
the one man show, because we never even got out
of fifth grade or whatever. And I think it would
be so funny to hear more Eric. I mean, there's
just no there. It was like I was sitting there going, oh,
there's so many ways this could go, like yeah, and

(11:44):
I want them all, like I don't, I don't, And
I almost wish the rest of the episode were shorter.
And even with the feenie stuff, I was like, dude,
I love Bill, I love the moment, but gotta be
shorter so we could see more airport, yes, because she
could go so many ways. It could just keep getting funnier.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
I don't know, No, I love it.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
It's so funny writer that you said you had a
problem maybe at the end with your performance, because I
thought comedically this was your best episode ever.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
Yeah, I thought.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
I mean I think hysterical, not just those but all
the little like the kind of subtleties you.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Were playing a library. Oh, oh my.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Goshbird's a fun.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Funny, so fun, And Danielle, you were not once again
used much. Yeah, but I thought your part. I just
I really liked this episode. I don't know if I
caught me in the right mood or whatever it was,
but Sue and I were howling at this last night.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, it's a it's a fun episode. So let's jump in.
We start in the school hallway. A tall blonde girl
we've been told as Shawn's girlfriend, is surrounded by a
group of guys as Corey and Tapanga watched from a distance.
Corey reveals that Sewan and this girl, Jennifer, broke up
this morning and she's already on the prow to Panga
worriedly asks how Sean is doing, and Corey assures her
Seawan is Sean. You can't keep Sean down, and then

(12:59):
camera zoom we see that Sean is slumped against the lockers.
Corey tells him to get up. He's dismal. She dumped me.
She dumped me good, and I didn't even see it coming.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
This is one of those I wish we had, like
because just the awkwardness of having to lie down but
still be visible in the camera. It's so it's like
one of those multi camera things, like uh, do we
have to go all the way on the ground, like
you just wish you could do a single camera or
bring the camera over my head, you know what I mean.
But like, yeah, it's just this, like I don't know,
or just let my face not be seen, like if

(13:34):
I was just talking to the sky. But because who
lays like this?

Speaker 5 (13:37):
I know?

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Also, why couldn't you just be on your stomach on
you know, facing like you could facing camera.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, it's super awkward and I could tell that I'm
like physically uncomfortable with it. I don't know. This is
I mean, this is I think maybe the first hint
of like some of the stuff that bothers me, which
is the like like sometimes like look, obviously there's there's cartooniness, right,
and I just like I want I love the Cartoonists
when we're living in it, which of course will you're

(14:06):
just so good at I don't feel as comfortable living
in the Cartoonists, And a lot of the bits in
this episode, there's some of it where I love like
Ben and I basically playing lovers like that clearly is
like a cartoony joke that we commit to. But then
there's other cartoonists like her making out with me, falling
down me on the ground, Corey's head and the thing

(14:28):
to Panga coming in and yelling you up there, Like
it all just felt very like, Okay, I don't know,
man like it just I was just I just I
just like do we have I don't know. It's like
I like the cartoonists if it were, but for some reason,
it just felt a little like it just fell short
and a lot of those beats for me, Whereas like
the other cartoonists, like the human cartoonings of like Ben

(14:49):
throwing down his towel and having baked the good like
all of that, like the human like when it's endowed
with like a reality like acting thing and we're allowed
to like make it our own. I loved it, But
when I felt like we were doing line readings or
being told we're to stand for a visual joke, it
sucked for me, and like it really brought up a
lot of like not good emotions.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Really, yeah, I can see that because you all the
things you mentioned were the moments that I didn't love,
Like you, I'm talking to you of there. I remember
the line reading. I remember it. I remember all of
that exactly.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
You can hear them right.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
And I also was like, so there were moments where
what I was feeling was like they're really wanting to
lean into like this is a farcical episode, but like
there's so much of it that's true human, really natural
funniness and all of that stuff was great, and then
there was a.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Lot of actually didn't yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Exactly, and then the other moments I just didn't think
we needed it, shouldn't They could have just been more real.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Her kissing thing is really bizarre.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
I'm telling you, I'm over the watch this. I'm the
only person who could kiss you in this totally benign.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
Bland no.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Jesus, I know wrote see what is happening here?

Speaker 5 (16:12):
That stuff was very very strange.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Do you guys have any memories of working with Christianna Logan?

Speaker 2 (16:18):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Not?

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Really she came onto Girl Meets World, and it was
great to see her, and actually she and I like
talked a lot and it was awesome to like, I
just I wasn't there that episode. I just came by
to visit for like a little bit. She on Girl World,
she played she played herself, right, Mincus is she.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Played Mincus's wife, but as this character, as this character.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Herself. By the way she plays the same character.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
She does not.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Herself hysterical, you know. She she was so great And
but it was funny because I actually didn't really remember
working with her that much. Yeah, and look at it,
I was like, I don't, like, I don't know, there's
just a it's funny, but I just felt it felt
stilted again, like I wanted there to be natural chemistry

(17:09):
between me and her, not this like beat over here.
Let's have our beat over here, you know, and and
when they're when we're actually just kind of talking to
each other or she's like there are times where that is.
But all the kissing, all the physical stuff just felt like, oh,
we're hitting the beats and and and I can kind
of tell that I'm not happy with it, which is
like it. But but one of the reasons that I

(17:30):
liked it is because it also brackets the actual chemistry
that Corey and Sean have. That's funny. It's like it's
a good reason.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
You know.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
It's like she's so uncomfortable with her that's so natural
with him.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
That it is it's like you don't, but it's true.
It's like I didn't take it that way. But yeah,
none of.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
It feels stilted when you're with Corey. None of it
feels set up. When you're with Corey, it's so natural
and beautiful, but when you're with her, it feels awkward
and weird. I thought that was great.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, it's funny. I didn't really have any memories from
doing this episode with her, but I when the same
exact thing when she was on Girl Meets World. Really
enjoyed being around her, enjoyed talking with her, but didn't
really don't really remember too much. I mean, I don't
have that much to do with her this week. I
mean a couple of little scenes with her, but yeah,
not any real what's cool.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
She seems to be having fun, Yeah, which is really
cool for a guest star. First of all, just you know,
whenever a guest star comes in and they seem to
be having fun, you're like you own this. Yeah, but
also like this is one of those roles that you
need somebody who's confident and can come in and do that,
otherwise this whole thing doesn't work. And she nails it.
I yeah, does she come back.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Is she one of the people that kidnaped Sean and
puts them in the cabin?

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Must be right?

Speaker 5 (18:49):
Is she one of them?

Speaker 2 (18:50):
I would hope so, Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's her.
Larissa and lindsay so, I'm pretty sure it's the three
of them. It makes total sense.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yeah, So Corey looks concerned.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Look what they've done to my boy. To Peka squats
down to Sean. I think you can do a lot
better than Jennifer Bassett. Sean earnestly asks, you think, so,
Corey interjects to Panga, have you looked at her? To
Pega glances over. She's pretty, she's tall. She drives a
new red convertible.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Oh with a mistake, big mistake that everybody makes when
they're young. When somebody breaks up with somebody, keep your
mouth shut. You just don't say anything. They're gonna get
back together. If not, it doesn't help the situation. They
don't want to be like you do not want to
hear about how your ex sucked. I mean you think
you do, you really don't you know? Oh? No, God, mistake.

(19:49):
Everybody makes this mistake at some point in their life.
They turned to somebody and they're like, ah, thank god
you got out of that relationship. But it just always backfires.
It never works.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
There's a great line Seinfeld where he says, breaking up
with somebody's like knocking over a coke machine. You don't
do it in one thing. You got to rocket back
and forth first, and then then it goes over.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
It's true, that's funny. It's also the same reason you
don't ever really want to tell your best friends of
the worst qualities of your significant other, because you're probably
just venting. And then your best friends are like, I
can't stand that person you're with. You're like, no, you're
not really supposed to remember that.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
I just wanted to.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Don't. Don't remember that.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Your own family, to your wife or your husband.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
You could complain about your family, But the second they
say something about you do this thing, whoa, that's my mama.
What are you doing exactly?

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Corey tries consoling Sean. I don't want to say I
didn't want to say this when you were going out
with her, But she's one stuck up, conceited girl. Her
nose is way up in the air, and quite frankly,
I don't think it's a real nose. Sean's hopeful about this,
as Corey reassures him it's placid, just like her personality.
Sean hears Corey's words of encouragement and finally stands up
and walks right up to Jennifer. He confidently yells to her,

(21:07):
you know what I think. I think you're conceited, conceited
and stuck up and something about your nose. Jennifer panics,
touching her nose. What is he talking about? Sean stutters.
Jennifer asks, who said something about my nose? They both
turn and look at Corey, whose mouth is hanging open
in surprise. So it was your best friend, Corey who
made you say these bad, bad things. Sean scoffs, like
I'd ever tell you, and then she ensorceles him with

(21:30):
a kiss, and Sean immediately breaks Corey mack.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
I'm kiss she's doing so she is maybe casting.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
There's a hair because there's a weird, weird, big thing
she's telling you about the women dominating physically ensorcelement stick
we have done on this show. I am and this.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Is what Maitland does, right Like? Isn't this what Maitland's her.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Entire character is based on.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Is that she's like this tall, big woman who like
controls the guys right and then sources time left and right.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
I don't know, I don't know that there's anything more
boring or for a character to be not. I just
it's just I don't like it. And I this episode
started with it and I was like, oh no, I'm
in for an episode I'm not gonna like. And then
it becomes a love story between Corey and Sean and
I was like, turned, I'm happy.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, I just I just wish that, like, you know,
because you know what it's said in the script, which
is then she kisses him, yes, And like, I wish
we had had the freedom to just figure out what
that is, right, two actors figure out what it is
that she could do to get and instead it feels
so stilted, it feels so staged. It feels so, here's
what you're gonna do this with your aunt, and it's

(22:41):
just like and you're watching her do a choreography that
feels in human and I feel like I'm pitying my
marks and doing the thing, and it just, you know,
like it would have been so great to just be
allowed some breathing room, and you just don't feel it.
You feel instead the like, oh okay, and you can
you can remove yourself and see the cartoon for what
it is and laugh. That's fine. But you know, looking

(23:02):
at it with a critical eye as the actor in it,
I'm like, oh, come on, this could have been so
much better.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah, you wonder too, how much of it is that,
because one of the things that is bumping me is
that it's just not sexy. It is it actually isn't.
It doesn't feel like you guys have that great of chemistry.
So part of me wonders if the problem is in
allowing you guys to figure it out. If it would
have come across as too sexual, like it would have seemed.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Maybe that's actually good call.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Maybe if she had actually walked up to you, Yeah,
that it has to be this, let's sell sex in
a contry, like in a yes in order.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
That's a really good call. You know, you're right, Yeah,
because if she had actually been like seductivective or like
a dominatrix.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Yes, taken that, maybe it would have been like, Okay,
what what are we watching here? Friday night eight thirty
or nine thirty, depending on what's a really good point.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Danielle you're right, Okay, you know I retract most of what.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
I No, No, you don't have to attract it. I'm
just in our discerning eye stuff, giving the all of
the thought to what the reasons are it could have
been that.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
So well here's my here's my main question is what
is I I get is the implication that she wants
Shawan back just because he criticizes her and then she
wants him back, or like like why does she just
immediately change her mind? And like I was kind of
waiting for that to become a thing, like like somebody
to like get to Panga or Ben Corey to say, yeah,

(24:36):
see you insult a woman. She comes right. I don't know,
like because it seems like the implication is that now
she's going to own me to get back at Corey,
which is kind of funny.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
But like maybe the idea is the reason the relationship
wasn't going to work. The reason she doesn't want to
be with you is because she didn't like your best friend.
And so now she's like, listen, I'm just the reason
we're not working is because of him, right, So I'm
willing to give us a chance, but you have to
get rid of him, and it's that kind of idea.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
I wanted that to be.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
I agree it.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Would because yeah, because I just kept being like, oh, oh,
we're just back in the relationship, and I don't know,
it was just a little like what why is is
she so obsessed with this and like make it? You know,
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
They just are just trying to get to you and.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Cort, and that's exactly it is. That once they got
into that, it's like, this is clearly why we're here.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
That's all that it was about, is just getting there.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
I wonder if we could have just started with me
in a relationship with the woman who didn't want us
to be friends anymore.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
Yeah, probably that's probably where it should have started.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
He didn't need any of the stuff lying in the hallway,
and I should have just been yeah, Corey, looking at
the two of you together.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
So when Soorceld Sean Brakes, Corey Matthew's son of Allan
and Amy, grandson of Nana and Sam, Corey shouts, how
could you sell out my nana? Which is very funny.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Jennifer editing is weird it like holds it been too long?
I was like, yeah, you hit the joke and then
you get out and if we're already kind of lingers,
I was like, oh, oh, is that the end of
the scene is get held a laugh?

Speaker 5 (26:00):
There?

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I you never hold? Yeah, I never felt like the
awkward editing on our show as as like much before.
And I was like, yeah, there's a little awkward editing
going on.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Jennifer decides to flirt with Sean. Maybe there could still
be something between us. She grabs his head, spins him
in a circle, towers over him, and pushes him against
the staircase, and then they knows to nose kiss, which
I guess is sex. He I don't. I don't know.
I don't think so. I don't know what's going on. Yeah,
you're like, look like we're doing Sean Caves. I'd be

(26:34):
willing to give it another try, just as long as
you're not mad at Corey. Jennifer puts her arm around
him and they walk away. No, Sean, he's your best friend.
How could I ever come between you and your best friend?
And as they pass Cory and to Panga, Jennifer quickly
holds up her hand in a claw and hisses at him.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
And I feel like she's about to break I feel
like she has to cut it short because if she
if she holds the moment too long, she's go yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Cory asks to Panga if she saw that, and she
confirmed she did. Corey Panna asking her what it means,
and she tells him nothing good for you. And then
we go to our surfer acid commercial break and we
come back. We're in Chubbies. Corey sits with Sean. What
does it mean when a girl goes? Sean shrugs it off.
Come on, she was just being playful. Cory asks, playful
like a spider when it catches a fly and sucks

(27:17):
out its head meat. Sean defends her by explaining she
was upset after all the terrible things he said about her.
Corey corrects him. I said them to you to make
my best friend feel better about being dumped. May I
speak freely? Sean looks up and blurts out, I don't
think that's wise, but Corey continues anyway, just as we
see Jennifer walk up behind him. I think Jennifer should
I say, Zathrac the undead is a stuck up, manipulative,

(27:38):
cold blooded. Corey finally catches Sean's cues and stops giving
us a classic season two joke by nervously asking.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Are we keeping a tally? Yeah? Number five?

Speaker 5 (27:49):
Ten times?

Speaker 3 (27:50):
She's right behind me, isn't she. Jennifer says hello and
he sticks his hand hand up all hail Zathrack. Jennifer
pulls Sean away and plays with his his hair, and
this is where we get a great look at the
autographed OJ jersey.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
Yes, I saw that in the background as well.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Priorities all we care about on fiveby twirls anymore, OJ jer.

Speaker 7 (28:13):
It's Jenson jumping in. Can I give you a small
update on the OJ jersey? Yeah, okay, it possibly is
because on the arm we see a trojan like that's
obviously a big thing. But there were OJ years when
he was on USC that the arms also had yellow
lines kind of right at the shoulder or right around
the bicep, somewhere in between the two places. So it

(28:35):
is still possibly an OJ jersey, especially with the trojan.
It's just not a direct connection because it's missing the stripes.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Got it, okay, So it would for sure have been
a nod to OJ Simpson if there were stripes on
the jersey, but there is not.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
But it's still there Adams High colors, right?

Speaker 5 (28:51):
Were they?

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Were they the Trojans? No? Yeah, do we know?

Speaker 4 (28:57):
Did we ever know what their patriots that was? We
know what the mascot was when we got to college.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Was the penguin?

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Right?

Speaker 5 (29:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
I don't know if we ever had if we ever well,
really have Patriots in my head, but I'm not sure. Likeston.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
This is your job, super fanfan. Your job is superfan
wild Melissa. We nominated you as the universal voice of
the fandom. Please, Melissa, reach out to us. Let us
know what was the mascot at John Adams High. Oh,
the patriot spirit was the name of the paper.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
So the Patriots is probably a good guess. Yeah, the
Patriot And but I wonder if they just picked the
colors and the most the easiest thing to buy was
an Oja jersey once you knew the colors. Yeah, I
still think it's an o j jersey.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Yeah, I think it is all right.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
So Jennifer says, they've been working so hard to make
this relationship work, but there are just some people who
only want to tear them apart. She pleads, I don't
think we should allow those negative presences in our lives,
do you. Sean tries to stand his ground, saying he
doesn't see it that way. Jennifer grabs him and kisses
him him down in a booth. The camera stays on Pory, who.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Watch the same scene, right, Yeah, Yes, it's like it's
doing all the same things.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yes, you could just started source.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yes, we literally could have started with this scene and
found a way to insert Chepanga and we would have
had probably the same Yeah, yep, yep. I was wondering
what was wrong. I was like, why, Oh, And now
that you're spelling it out, like we literally just watched
all these.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Themes happen, it's essentially the same scene twice.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
We hear Sean exclaim, Wow, suddenly everything is so clear.
Jennifer asks if he sees her point, and Sean tells
her yes, you're a really good debater. Jennifer and Sean
sit up, and she says, I think you should tell
Corey you can't see him anymore. Sean argues, but we've
been best friends our whole lives. How am I supposed
to say Corey you're out of my life? Jennifer answers
by pulling him back in for yet another makeout session.

(30:48):
Laying in the booth, and Sewn manages to ask Corey
if he can come over. Corey excitedly jumps up. Maybe
this is good news. He immediately gets uncomfortable by what
he sees in the booth. And this is where I
was like, I don't mean to be a downer, but
I'm bored, just yeah, bored here.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, And I think I think, I think it's not
It's not just that it's like the the sort of
now predictable stereotype of or archetypal moment of the and
sort of it's also that it's a repeat, a repeat.
Story wise, we have not made any progress yet. So
not only do we have a beat that kind of
makes you roll your eyes, we get it twice for
no reason when it doesn't actually help.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
So, yeah, that's interesting, absolutely right.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Yeah, it kind of starts now rightly episode into the episode, Yes,
exactly so.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Then later at Chubbies and employee is clubbing, an employee
is closing down Chubbies is to Panga, leans against a
booth and stares down at Corey, now slumped on the floor,
a call back to Shawn's cold open. She tells him
to get up and Corey sadly explains he dumped me.
He dumped me good, and thank god that was a
short scene because I'm wearing a jacket in it, and
so no good would have come from it. In the kitchen, yeah,

(31:55):
which is why, Which is why, Daniel, it's not a
great episode for me.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
You're not going to be a movie star. This is
why it was hard for me to answer that question. Listen, writer,
because movie stars can handle jackets.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
You know what I but Rider can't because he keeps
losing them.

Speaker 5 (32:12):
True very strange jackets to all of us.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
And then we're in the Matthew's kitchen. Amy and Allan
walk in from a night out and Eric, who was
having some midnight pie and milk.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Can we talk about milk? Liked, pour yourself a glass
of milk, so much milk.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
It was like sixteen ounces of milk. And I'm like, watch.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
Milk too much?

Speaker 4 (32:35):
Myself poured myself a glass of milk that size last night,
really almost every night, wow, really.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Like are you seven years old? Like it's milk, milk
is good for you and you're old boy.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
Milk milk a year.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Plan and you.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Got your teddy your stuff, Teddy your teddy bear in
the closet. Did you were you watching cartoons? Do you
drink your you're watching cartoons?

Speaker 5 (33:02):
I was watching an animated feature film.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Okay, twirly straw, swirly straw in your mouth.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
I drank.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
My idea that milk is for children is completely wrong.
Milk is for everybody. You always need the calcium in
the vitamin D. You guys, it's all fun and games,
so you get osteoporosis.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Eric, who's eating midnight pie, scolds them, it's about time
you kids got home. It's almost eleven o'clock. I was
worried sick. I had Peenie looking for you. I called
the police. Amy asks, really, and Eric admits no, I
didn't even know you left. Nice time. Amy says they
went to a one woman show at the theater. Eric asks, juggling,
Alan corrects him. No, she sat on a stool and
told the remarkable story of her himself.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
A glass milk. Really, two grown men, we're all just
gonna sit around drinking milk. Amy has this decency to
have a cup of tea or something.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
And new milk last night too.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
There are a few meals that I think call for
a glass of milk.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
I will dessert pie, I guess witch like.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yeah, also spaghetti with red sauce. It's like a sue.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
The encounterpoint to the spaghetti.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
The idea that you're trying to justify milk. I don't
understand what's happening people. Yes, it's super podcast sponsored by milk.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
I was the one who did the milk commercial.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
That's right, he did.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
He did it, tastes.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Eric jokes, you couldn't afford a real show, huh. Alan
hands the tickets to Eric and shows him the price.
Thirty bucks. He spent thirty bucks to listen to some
lady on a stool. Alan tells him it was a
three hundred seat theater and it was completely sold out.
Eric's in shock, trying to figure out the math. That's
like three hundred times thirty. Amy says the show had
even been sold out for months. Eric unders this idea,

(35:00):
and then we get a dissolve, which is like a
distant cousin to the optical flip, and we see Eric
slowly pressing one key at a time on his laptop
with crumpled papers all around his laptop.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Slash eighties word process. I mean, I guess did still
look like that.

Speaker 5 (35:18):
That was probably cutting edge.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Oh yeah, the printer on the table too, Like you
got to immediately be able to print out. It's like
show the writer at work, and there's always the crumpled
up papers, like why do you need to print it
out to read it? Like it's oh great, I love it.
It's it's it's so clearly a because Michael Jacobs was

(35:41):
a play right, and I like, do you guys remember
Jef McCracken's story about Michael writing his first play. No,
they were roommates and and Michael because Michael started as
an actor, they were both cheaters or whatever it was, yeah,
cheaters and which became his movie. But Michael like came
home from an audition was like, that's it. I'm so
because he had had such a bad audition or gotten

(36:03):
really close to a part I forget. We'll have to
ask Jeff what it was. A it was there was
like a famous part that Michael got close on whatever.
He was so pissed and he was like that's it
and grabbed his typewriter and went into the other room
and over like the course of the weekend, like didn't
emerge until he had written his play and apparently like
it was this scene like it was I mean away
and Jeff was like reading the pages as they were

(36:23):
coming out and going like this is funny. Michael, Yeah,
so there you go, funny. So this is a little
window into.

Speaker 5 (36:29):
Playwriting, guessing he was typing faster than Eric was.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah, and had a typewriter and had an actual typewriter.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Corey walks up and curiously reads over his shoulder. Eric
matthews and look at me, look at me, one woman show.
Eric quickly corrects himself, Oh yeah, for me, this would
be man. Corey grabs the script and notices Eric is
writing a play about himself. Eric asks if he can
bounce the opening off of him, and Corey quickly responds,
let me bounce this off of you, throwing the script
at him, which.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Is clearly I think a boy meets World scripts ooh
are using Yes, yeah, but that joke is just a
terrible joke, terrible head off.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
I was like, can we a few times? I'm like, wow,
come on, guys, let's punch it up here, like you're
sticking with this one. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
Jerk store, jerk.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Store, yeah exactly. Eric argues that people will care about
this play because he is a human life. He dramatically
looks off into the distance, romanticizing his life, and then
states camera, I know.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yes, a little a little dolly move, which is hard
to do one of those camera the way those cameras
foods pretty us to Jeff McCracken.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
I know, I love that he found little ways to
be creative. There. I don't understand the wake up damn
you joke? Does do either of you?

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Corey has already fallen asleep, like he's committed?

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Is he Is he pretending to be asleep? There?

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (37:53):
He was.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
We got it, Okay, I didn't notice that. I was like,
I don't understand the joke. Okay, well now I feel
like an idiot. But anyway, he didn't get it, Okay.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
You should, I mean a little bit.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Thanks, I love you.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
But it was a pretty good joke, really yeah, I
mean because the camera move sold.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
It, right.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I like single camera stuff. I like where there's visual jokes,
and this is like one of the few times we've.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Done like a you're also just coming off of let
me throw this at you, so any jokes.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
I also just couldn't take my eyes off of Eric.
I did not look at Corey so I know, but
so I didn't know. Yeah, anyway, wake up Damnuel okay.

Speaker 5 (38:32):
And handsome with his hair in this episod, you like,
take your eyes off me?

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Everybody.

Speaker 5 (38:39):
Everybody heard that? Right?

Speaker 3 (38:42):
The phone rings and Eric answers, telling the person on
the other line, Nope, no Dory here. Corey runs over.
It's for him. He takes the phone from his confused
brother Sean. Sean scolds him, You're supposed to call me Jawn.
Cory asks, why is Jennifer there? Sean corrects him again, Jennifer, Jennifer.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
It's so ridiculous and outlandish and crazy, and I loved everything.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
And also so exactly what I think Sean would do.
It's exactly It's exactly the way Sean would handle it.
I love it so much.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
These everybody phone call scenes are just the best.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
This is our first ever split screen on Boy Mean's World.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
Is the first.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Yes, we give one, I swear did we do one?
When like Eric su yes huh, I'm a seven year
old yes huh, yes, huh.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Go ahead, writer? When was the other one?

Speaker 2 (39:35):
I thought it? I thought Eric was stuck somewhere on
a payphone. I don't know. For some I have it
in my head that we are because I feel like
we pointed out, oh, this is our first split screen
at another episode I was.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
On the road trip at the cle place.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Yeah, it was like either that. No, I think it
was earlier. I think it was like first or second season,
when I'm thinking that the Susan is Stelle Chentsen episode
it's a wonderful night, or the car breaks down and
Eric stuck on the you know, I don't know. For
some reason, I have it in my head that we
did a space screen. I remember being like, is this
our first Sean Chat calls in?

Speaker 5 (40:06):
Is that all?

Speaker 2 (40:07):
That's a split screen?

Speaker 3 (40:08):
All right? Well, then I rescinned what I said.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
I take it care. You've gotten a bunch of stuff
wrong this episode.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Go ahead, we'll take over. Do you host this show?

Speaker 5 (40:18):
I would love to. So here we go. Uh scene,
I don't know where we are. I don't haven't written
in front of me at all.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
So he says, no, she's at them all. And then
it was literally this moment where I went, Okay, I
know none of the feelings I had about the beginning
of this episode. I'm no longer bored. I'm fully hook
line and sinker, I'm in I love it. This is
why this episode exists, to see Sean and Corey being
starcross lovers. It's so funny and I love it now.

(40:46):
So Cory asks, how could he just let some girl
tell him me can't see his best friend. It's wrong,
just wrong. There's silence on the other line, and Corey
asks if Sean's still there. Sean responds, I was just
listening to the sound of your voice and thinking about
the old days the audience.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Writer, your reads on these things are so spot on good.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
I mean, it's just you're like riding that line so perfectly.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
It's just you just commit to it as as a
lover and you play the reality of it. I know,
but that's you know, that's always comedy when taken seriously,
is the best characters take the series. And that's where, Yeah,
it was so fun. I remember just being like, this
is so fun.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
Well, if there's ever a subject teenage writer or strong
didn't need a whole lot of direction about. It was
about teenage love and being torn from my mother. I
have to be on this stupid TV show while my
lover is up north and I'm thirteen.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
Years seventh grade dance yet.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
But do you writer remember working with Jeff at all
on being directed about the subtext or anything.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
No, I just remember Ben and I loving this. See.
I remember loving doing this scene and I was I
feel like I was able to see Ben somehow we
coordinated when we like did our moves and I'm not
sure if they brought a monitor or if where they
positioned me, I could see him so we could do that.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
But I just remember discovering, like I mean, I think
we already knew how funny it was, but I remember
living the comedy and just having so much fun. Like
I just remember, you know, this is this is. I
feel like these last four episodes have been me and
Ben having so much fun and like it's just we've
clicked into this gear as actors. As co actors that

(42:30):
I remember, you know, we had a mind meld. We
had a mind meld as actors, and we were always
having fun and we always had each other's backs, and
there was just this complete sense of confidence and comfort
with each other.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
I remember this killing at the run throughs.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Oh yeah, I'm sure every.

Speaker 5 (42:46):
Time, crushing at the run throughs. It was so good.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Yeah, So the audience is hootin and hollering, and they
love Qoran or Shory. What would it be? What would
your what would your relationship name be? Sy is probably
what it is, okay, so that would probably be It'd
probably be Cooran.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
It'd be Surey on the page until the first rewrite,
and then it'd be Koran.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
I don't know that. They walk. Corey shakes his head.
I gotta see you. Sean says, no, that would be impossible.
Corey asks, because of her, He threatens to show up
at Sean's if he refuses to come to his house.
Sean gives in, I'll see you, but just this once.
Corey obliges. That's all I'm asking for. Sean says, the
library tomorrow morning, eight o'clock. Corey size the library it is.

(43:36):
Then I'll step aside forever. And the audience is loving
every second as Coy and Sean. But then they can
pull it back up to their ear in case the
other one says something else, and the audience is still
just like reacting to every single second of it. Corey
finally hangs up the phone, turning to a stunned Eric,
who has heard the entire phone call. He flatly states,

(43:56):
I want my own room.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Gay pan my face, kay, panic, But it's pretty pretty,
it's pretty. I mean, it's just the I just yeah,
you need the joke and you need the button, and
Will's seriousness is hysterical and like, yeah, oh, pretty funny.
I don't know what if there's a better joke, if
you know, but it's yeah, it's funny.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
It is funny. So then we're in the school library.
Sean sits quietly when Jennifer walks into the library. She's
been looking all over, and Sean is very surprised to
see her. He tells her he's been studying, and she
admires that he's putting his time to better use now
that he's not constantly with Corey. She notices Sean has
a cinnamon bun with a blue bow and a sea
on it, and she questions what it's for. He awkwardly
explains it stands for see I knew you'd be here,

(44:38):
and he hands it to her. Just then to Panga
walks up and Sean asks if she knows his girlfriend.
To Panga and Jennifer cut him off, immediately, giving each
other a quick high and a very phony girl to girl.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Hey, oh, it's really funny.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
That's really funny.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
It's really funny. It's you get the entire history of
these characters and everything you need to know about them
without really funny. Really it's funny too, and like only
in the performance. Yeah, yeh, do you remember how that happened, Danielle?
Like it was it written that way?

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Or I do think it was written that way? Yes,
I think it was written that way, And I think
I would.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Like to see the script. I wonder what it says
in the script, like, like, how do you describe.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
That, because it's they give each other a short high
or a curt high. I would imagine it's something.

Speaker 5 (45:21):
Like that phony Hi, something phony, Hi, I.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
Mean, because it is, and I do. The only thing
I kind of remember is that she and I really
enjoyed figuring out exactly what that was going to be
and it and us just both knowing at the exact
same time exactly what that is. You go, Hi, they're
a fake smile Hi? Anyway, So I yeah, I love

(45:45):
that moment. To Panga, tell Sean, she just came from
the classics section emphasizing classics, old favorites. There's something there
you might be interested in. He gets the hint. He
tells Jennifer he's going to go check out that book.
Corey whisper, yell Sean's name just to the from Jennifer,
still right in her eye line. Sewan answers back, Corey,

(46:06):
is that you? Corey sarcastically says, no, it's the audiobook
section you more on. Sean moves a few books out
of the way, and the boys are face to face.
Sean explains he couldn't come alone because you know who
wouldn't let him. Although he did intend to.

Speaker 5 (46:19):
Come alone, he was supposed to be there alone. He was.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
He was actually there alone at first until she showed up.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
She did let me.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Yeah, yeah, he's worried, she suspects. Corey assures him, I
understand she's important to you. Sean nods. They both knew
this would happen eventually. Once they got girlfriends, they would
have less time for each other. Cory asks that cinebond
was for me though, right. Sean giggles shyly.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
Cory, the way you say his.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Name, it's so cute, and I love it. It's just
the cutest. So Cory pleads, we got to meet. Sean
questions where, and Corey answers Paris. Sean argues that's the
first place she'd look.

Speaker 5 (46:59):
First place.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
Sean says they need to go someplace a woman would
never expect, and Corey suggests the Three Stooges.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
I mean, this is just great dial really so funny.

Speaker 5 (47:10):
It was so good.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
They try to come up with a plan, and then
Jennifer walks up to check on Sean. Since he's been
gone an awfully long time, she asks if he is here.
Sean laughs, I have no idea of any he of
whom you speak.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Run.

Speaker 5 (47:25):
It's just so great. Run right to the joke in
the perfect way. That's what I'm telling you. You You
were hitting beats.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
You were hitting comedy beats in this one that I
don't recall you hitting in previous episodes.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
You're right, well, this feels like like an absolute elevation
of his skills.

Speaker 5 (47:41):
Yes, just straight up comedy. It was great, really good.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Jennifer searches for Corey through the bookshelf, as he dodges
her just in time. Frantically, Sean concludes, I told you
he wasn't there. She believes him and asks Sean to
walk her to French class. She grabs his shoulder oh,
you're so tense. I'll sit behind you and rub your shoulders.
She grabs his hand and leads him out of the
line library as he looks longingly back at Corey. Corey
watches them leave and sighs, I used to sit behind him.

(48:06):
And then we're in the Matthew's backyard. Eric walks out
with a large script in his hand, and we get
to see the second Phoenie call ever.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Phoenie call t kind.

Speaker 6 (48:16):
Yeah, yeah, you're you're inching your way, you guys said
the last one was the Phoenie Call.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
I feel like we're taking this in stages. I feel,
you know, I wouldn't I was the official call has
not happened yet, but the setup and now we're building
on it, like.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
The basis of the Sphenie Call has been laid, and
we are getting to what we all know and love
is with it, yes exactly. Phoenee, crouched in his garden,
is startled by Eric's scream. Eric says he needs a favor.
He wants Phoene to read the play he wrote. Phoene's
wide eyed at the statement. It's four hundred pages of
a one man show. Phoene responds, no, no, no, don't care.

(48:57):
Eric says, he even mentions Phoenie, then starts to read
his play to show him it starts off with this
cross country road trip, and he has Phoene take over
with the next line, the hot wind howled like a
kind of howling, hot windy thing.

Speaker 5 (49:10):
It seemed like Bill was having fun. Yeah, episode too.
I mean you can kind of see when he's starting
to enjoy himself.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Yeah, and he seems to be at that point now
where he's actually having a good time.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
Yeah, he seems to be having I'm noticing that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Eric has rented out a little theater and he has
complimentary ticket for Phoene. Eric adds, if you have any
friends that are play types, can you do me a
favor and sell fifty or one hundred of these? Phoene
looks at the ticket, thirty dollars each. Eric lets him
in on a secret. Well, the matinee is twenty two
to fifty, but I kind of pull back on my
performance a little bit. Feeney wishes him luck, only able
to mutter the words wow. And then we're in the

(49:48):
Matthew's kitchen. Corey's making an extravagant meal when Alan walks down,
asking if he's expecting company. Amy tells him it's adorable.
He's been at this all afternoon. Corey's panicked dinner was
supposed to be ready at six thirty sharp, but and
o two and still nowhere to be seen. Tapanga shows
up at the back door with a pie in her hands.
Amy tells her, you have no idea how much Corey
loves you. Alan pulls Amy to the living room so

(50:09):
they can get out of the lovebird's way. Tapanga apologizes
for being late. The pie took forever. Corey admits they
both wasted their time. Sean still hasn't shown up. Topanga
assures he'll be there, and Corey sassily tells her in
the meantime, I'll just stick my beef brochettes back in
the oven until they're ruined. Throws the thing down, God
tosses his apron. It's so well done. Topanga has to leave,

(50:33):
but she reminds Corey to lighten up. Just then, the
phone rings and Corey hesitates. He tells Tapanga he wants
Sean to worry for a change. When the phone continues
to ring, he says, who am I kidding, before running
over to answer it, and then we're back in the
split screen with Sean on the other line, now holding
a tennis racket, wearing a polo with a sweater vest
and on top.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Favor I am becoming a yuppie. It's never referenced, but
that I am dressed like this and I care, and
that I'm caring a trophy in the next t is
my favorite funniest things. It's like because we never have
to mention it. Oh my god, oh my god, it's like, yes,
I love that. I just wanted her. I just want

(51:11):
more of that, Like I wish there had been a
little bit more of like even in the library scene,
if I had already started to be like dressed differently
and like I just if I could go back, I
would have fought for a little bit more of the
because it is so funny. Yeah, he's just becoming more
and more of this, like you know, Brad with her, Like,
I just love it. I love it.

Speaker 5 (51:31):
It is my favorite thing of the entire episode.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
I want a trophy, like I wanted to tennis. Really
get to do it.

Speaker 5 (51:37):
You want trophy play tennis, And it's never brought up.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
God, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
It made me so funny.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
And I didn't remember that at all, but no me neither.
So the second I popped in, I was like, why
am I wad that's funny, and like it's a subtle
joke because she's just talking. They just talk about her
being stuck up in that first scene. Otherwise they never
really reference her character of being rich or whatever. But
I just love it. Yeah, Sehn's moving up in the world.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Man too much sweaters. He tells Corey he can't make
it tonight. Corey says he's not hurt, but he clearly is.
Sean explains that Jennifer invited him to her country club
and Corey asks, and he couldn't say he was just
having dinner with his best friend. Sean reveals that Jennifer
found his box of Cinnabon receipts, alluding to many receipts
and many Cinnabons, which is just.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
So fu so ridiculous perfect.

Speaker 5 (52:23):
I told you to destroy them.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
Corey scolds him, I told you to burn those. Sean
says he couldn't, and now Jennifer won't let him out
of her sight. Jennifer then yells over their cord is open.
Sean apologizes to Corey and Corey continues to play it cool.
They both start to hang up, only again to pull
it back up to the air quickly to see if
the other says anything before ultimately hanging up. The audience
is again just I mean, they get such a kick

(52:50):
out of this bit. They are more invested in this
than anything Corey and Topanga have ever done all the ways.
Corey turns back to Topanga. Doesn't he like tennis? Tapega
points out that he's a wreck. Corey thinks Sean doesn't
need him anymore now that he has Jennifer. Tapanga reminds
him of when they first started going out. She never
kept him from seeing Sean because she knows there's something

(53:11):
about a best friend that no one can replace. Corey shocked,
you understood that. Tapega asks why she spent the entire
day baking a pie she was never going to eat.
Corey mentions that's because she's a sweet girl. Tapega says,
Sean deserves a sweet girl too, a girl who understands
that a best friend is part of who you are.
And if she doesn't accept your best friend, then she's
really not accepting you. You know, the way you hated

(53:32):
my best friend Triny, who disappeared off the show after
we got back together. Oh wait, I added that last
part by myself. That was just me. No, no, that
wasn't part of the show.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Is allowed to have her own life and her own
friends and to.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
Do her own you know really you think so, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
She's her own social life, she has her own identity
or yeah, it's very clear that I used to have it.
But this love the friendship triangle.

Speaker 5 (53:52):
Thing, it's right, it's.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Also can have you know, well.

Speaker 4 (53:58):
You're still dressed like like you're in the seven and
now a much too short skirt, the belts and the seventies,
the seventies outfit, yes, notice that as well.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
Tapeinka tells him he needs to clean up the kitchen
and go to go to dinner at Chubby's in about
an hour. Corey asks why, but she just emphasizes in
about an hour before walking away. And then we're outside
the theater. We see a poster for Eric's show that
reads look at me, look at me, accompanied with a
dramatic black and white headshots of him and intriguing offer
opening night special free shoe rental with every ticket.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
And that will did you get to keep this post framed.

Speaker 5 (54:32):
It's framed like twenty feet from here. Yep, I have a.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
We are going to have to ask you to take
a picture next to that poster. I will send it
to us.

Speaker 5 (54:41):
Still have it.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
Inside the theater, the spotlight turns on, revealing Eric, dressed
in all black like a mime, his head tucked into
his turtleneck, sitting on a stool as he plays the
sound of a baby crying. He re enacts his birth
by pulling his head out of his turtleneck and exclaiming,
June twenty fourth, nineteen seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
I am born.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Eric shares a birthday June twenty fourth with my son Adler,
twenty four brothers.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
That's right, But I feel like there's been some some
some conflict with Eric's birthday. Yeah, because when he turned
sixteen to get his license, it was like snowstorm or
something like. There's like rash, it doesn't it's whatever you
want and whenever you knew it.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
But yeah, well I'm nineteen seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
I'm trying to think how old you would have been. Well, yeah,
I guess that makes sense. You would have been twenty
or new years ago.

Speaker 5 (55:28):
Eric supposed to be two years younger than me in
this apparently, so if you were.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
Born in seventy eight and this was in ninety six,
you're supposed to be eighteen.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Yeah, which makes sense. Yeah, you're just out of high school.
You're the year after high school.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
Keep going, well, keep going fifteen and then eighteen eight.
Right there you go. Okay, he's going to math.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Get a glass of milk.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
You Apricorn Sagittarius number last, keep milk if you keep
adding nineteen seventy eight onto itself. See foene Amy and
Allen watching on in Disbelieve. Eric lists the events that
happened on his day of birth, calling John Paul the
second John Ball. I I oh, I.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Love that. He just like looked in and in encyclopedia
for what was happening in that year. It was like clearly,
like like you would say nowadays, he just googled what
happened in the year. It just starts listing things.

Speaker 5 (56:20):
Fucking wagonles it back in the day.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Yes, so funny. A new dance craze sweeps the nation.
He plays disco music, and a disco ball appears above him.
He stands in a dramatic Saturday Night fever pose. This
forces a couple to quickly get up and leave. They
have made a decision about his play. In the first
fifteen seconds, Eric continues, nineteen eighty four, poopoo wana bus.

Speaker 5 (56:43):
So I think that's the only take that I did.
Huh that I wasn't laughing. Oh, really would not get
through nineteen eighty.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
It was so funny because you were so committed. I
didn't see you about to break it all.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
I remember Michael even saying to me a one time
after one run through. He's like, you gotta hold it
together for that line, Like I'm trying, but that line
is so funny.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Also the fact that you're six.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
That's true. I didn't six years old. He poops on
a bus. Yeah, six, and I'm pooping on a bus.
I didn't even put that together.

Speaker 5 (57:18):
I couldn't hold it together for that line. It was
so funny.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Oh man, I'm so glad.

Speaker 5 (57:22):
And Rusty's laughing the whole time, like I'm during run through.
It's just, you know, the audience isn't there. It's just
Rusty and Betsy and Bill didn't do this.

Speaker 3 (57:30):
In front of the audience, I know. So then we're
in the back room of Chubby's Tapanga's leaning on the
pool table as Sean walks through the brand new hot
pink curtains. He's never seen those before, still wearing his
country club outfit. Now he has a tennis trophy.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
I'm so happy that they never mentioned it is the
best that it's just you've just got a trophy.

Speaker 5 (57:53):
You obviously one some tennis tournament.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
I mean pretty good you won, and you don't usually
play so grace. Sean asks why Topanga wanted to see him,
and she tells him that someone else wants to see you.
Corey nervously appears staring at Sean as he walks up
to Pega says she knows they haven't seen each other
in a while, so she'll just wait outside. Sean compliments
Corey on his girlfriend, admiring the thoughtful act. They decide

(58:16):
to shoot some stick, and Corey reminisces.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
By the way, shoot some stea.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
You what when he drinks his milk?

Speaker 5 (58:27):
You want some stick? Yeah, always, that's what we said. Yeah,
maybe it's an.

Speaker 3 (58:31):
Maybe it's an East custing. Corey reminisces about the days
they used to be able to do this without the
specter of the wicked Witch. Of the West hanging over them.
Sean looks disappointed, and Corey corrects himself, not that Jennifer
is a wicked witch. Corey tries to connect, if you're
going out with this girl, there's got to be something
really nice about her, and I just want you to
be happy. Sean thanks him big giggles. It's hard to
take you seriously with chalk on your nose. Corey tries

(58:54):
to wipe it off, but Sean goes ahead and does
it for him, and just then midwipe, Jennifer walks in
and gasps. Corey shrieks back in the.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Crate a physical thing to bring us together as if
we're like caught kissing. I mean it's really clever like that.
That takes the next level because you know, just having
you know she's coming in right, but but like putting
us in a compromise position exactly. It's like, how do
you do that with two straight guys without like literally having,
you know, go into a territory we can't go without

(59:26):
ruining the joke. So it's like, oh, you have to
have the straight guys touching each other. I'm sure they
went through it. They were like, could he be helping
him do a pool thing where they're like running over
it's too far.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
On his shirt.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Yeah, you gotta make it intimate and something would be
too sexual, but the shock is perfect and it's.

Speaker 5 (59:44):
Like great, it's great.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
So Corey shrieks in his classic benuet. Jennifer yells, how
could you do this to me? And Sean quickly explains,
this isn't Corey, this is cake.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
Legendary line and legendary PA's face her who knew that,
like if something is deceptively cake would become like a
regular part of cake?

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
Is it cake?

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
TV?

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Shows about is it cake? And this is like something
my cake loves? Because we could be cake right now?

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
How weird is that? Like of all the jokes to
have made, this is this is cake. It's like actually
kind of a thing now, so weird funny, but yeah,
Ben's cake face?

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
Can you have milk with cake?

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Is that?

Speaker 5 (01:00:31):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
I never drink milk at all, but you do? You man,
that's why your pants are brittle? Bro, How do you
know my bones are brittle?

Speaker 5 (01:00:39):
Because that's why.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
Sean asks how she knew he was at Chubbies, and
she says she received an anonymous tip on her cell phone,
and that's the first cell phone reference on Boy Meets World.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
Oh, we haven't actually seen anybody with a phone.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
No, it's ninety six, ninety six. Yeah, did you have
cell phones?

Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
I had a pager and I think I had my
Nokia phone.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Yeah, I had a big phone in my car.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
But I yeah, well yeah, we had the big big
costa dollar or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Yeah, but Will had pagers, and we had pagers.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
And I'm pretty sure by ninety six because I well,
I know I had a phone that I could use
by the time I started driving, which would have been
ninety seven.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
So I remember by the end of Boy, we were
doing that what's the Snake game in the.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Yeah, absolutely, you guess black I love Snake. I would
still play Snake. And I missed my BlackBerry. Blackberries are
the greatest.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Ones black, very high. Yeah, that's what I heard that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Then I also had the BlackBerry with the keyboard and
the little roller ball.

Speaker 4 (01:01:42):
I had the little black flip phone whatever that was
with the antenna.

Speaker 5 (01:01:45):
That already had.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
I remember those two the razors, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
What it was.

Speaker 5 (01:01:50):
Yea Lodorolla, that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
Corey doesn't understand the only person that knew where they
were was to Penga and is.

Speaker 5 (01:02:09):
That the first one?

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
That's okay.

Speaker 5 (01:02:12):
So there's a lot of firsts in this sort something.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
A lot of first This is kind of an iconic episode.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
Yes, yeah, I think this locked in a lot of things. Yeah,
I think, you know, I think that this whole love
triangle joke of like Corey and Sean like, yeah, I
mean it's all basically because of this episode, because of
the success of this episode and the success of us.
It's like finding the comedy together.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
It just yeah, que Topanga walks in, talking like a
Scooby Doo villain. It was I who made the call.
It's time she knew. She reveals to Jennifer that the
boys have kept their relationship alive despite her evil attempt
to keep them apart. To Penga snips, true friendship is
stronger than the allure of a cheap kiss. Jennifer doesn't react,
so Tapega looks up at her and shouts, Hey, I'm

(01:02:56):
talking to you up there. What do you guys remember
about out this line reading and this scene and all
you can.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Hear my line reading too? Yeah, that's stupid cold, Like
what am I doing? I know it's not that. What
was that was a line reading that Michael gave me, Like, clearly,
I was just being told because I think it's maybe
like an impression of somebody from an old timey movie.
I don't know, but you can tell that I am
not comfortable with it. It's not funny and I'm just

(01:03:24):
doing an imitation.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
I actually wondered because you know, you know Dede di Stefano,
who was a wonderful guest on the nod Meats World,
she says bathroom and conned and conned, and so I
was wondering if it was like a thing.

Speaker 5 (01:03:37):
Yeah, it was my now.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
The second I saw it, I was like, this makes
me angry and uncomfortable and I feel like this is
not what I want to be doing. Brings up the feelings,
the feeling of like, oh, I have to do it
this way and I don't want to and this is
not funny to me, but I got to do it
and get the obligatory laugh. Yeah. I hated this. Hated
this scene, this part of the scene.

Speaker 4 (01:03:57):
I don't remember the scene at all, but I thought
You're line reading was funny, Danielle Hey, because it was
the way it was kind of stilted yeah, mixed to
me with the kind of thirties talking.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
It was I who didn't right there, This is that
I wouldn't want to change a word of this scene.
I would just want to go back and have another take,
another rehearsal and do it, or like I said, actually
go back a day so it was less rehearsed, because
as it is, it feels like we are lining delivery systems,
delivering jokes, which and they are funny jokes. Yeah, but
I wanted I wanted this to have the organic human

(01:04:33):
quality the phone calls did that the library scene had.
If you know, like this just felt like child actors
doing their.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
Bits, right, I can see that. So she gives them
an ultimatum, telling it's Corey or it's Then she grabs
his hair and pulls him in for one of her
mind altering kisses, and then says me post kiss. Sean
then turns to Corey, Okay, what do you got? Corey shrugs,
you can't top that. Sean snaps himself back reality. He

(01:05:01):
tells Jennifer, Corey's my friend, and so is Topanga. If
you can't be friends with my friends, then I'm not
so sure. I want to be friends with you, but
we can still kiss. She rolls her eyes. Consider yourself dumped, Sean.
He doesn't react, so she asks, didn't you hear me?
I said you're dumped. He wags his finger at her.
It doesn't bother him this time, as he stands next

(01:05:22):
to Corey and Topanga, because he's getting more than he's losing.
Jennifer sarcastically responds, I hope you're all very happy together.
See she saw, she saw what we had.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
That's what Sue said too, Sue said, I she's watching.
She said, I think this might be one of the
original thruples.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
And certainly, if the first teen thruple, you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
And I would have to actually talk to each other.

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
She leaves, attempting to give Corey a hiss when she passes,
but he gives her one right back. Corey embraces Sean
and Topanga. Things are finally back to normal. No more lies,
no more sneaking around. They'll be able to do whatever
they want whenever they want. Corey awkwardly asks, so what
do you want to do? Sean responds, I know, what
do you want to do? Corey pauses, see at school,
Sean of Greese, Yeah, see you at school, and they

(01:06:05):
both walk away, leaving Tapanga completely confused. Why did they
make such a big deal about being together if they
weren't going to be together.

Speaker 5 (01:06:12):
That's the joy of being I know, I.

Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
That it is the joy of true friendships.

Speaker 5 (01:06:19):
Great, I know you really will see it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
So then we're in the tag. We're back in the theater.
Eric's one man show continues. He's finally gotten to being
eighteen years old. He mentions the crossroads he faces, and
then he says transition. We see Amy dead asleep in
the audience. Alan is hitting himself in the head. Eric
rewinds back to his days as a five year old
in kindergarten when he didn't know which cubby was his.

Speaker 5 (01:06:42):
He backwards.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
Back to five and it's like, uh oh, Alan's like,
oh god, he's five again.

Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
We've got four hundred pages here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
Here's what is so awesome about the writing here is
like it would have been so easy to make Eric
just a bad play right, but instead they make Eric
a sophisticated bad playwright, do you know what I mean?
Like he's jumping through time and trying to be artistic.
Like it's not like you know, it's like it's that's
what I love about. It's like because you could see

(01:07:15):
somebody hitting play on a jukebox and like having background
noise of babies crying, Like there's a there's a version
of like taking himself so seriously, and I just love it.
I love that he's not like because even in the
joke with with the script with Feenie, it was just
bad writing. But here it's like good bad or it's
something it's like layered bad writing. And that is just

(01:07:35):
the genius of like our writing staff like to be
able to take it to that level of like, don't
just have it be the joke that he's it's a
horrible It's like it yeah, yeah, it's so good.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
He's actually really self reflective. He's able to go at
this point when I did not know which cubby was mine,
I also find myself like he's truly looked at. That's
just super like, yeah, it's so great. He connects the
two crossroads and ends with nap time. Feenie appears on
stage and asks Eric how he's doing.

Speaker 7 (01:08:07):
Eric, how do how you.

Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
So funny on the Spotlight?

Speaker 5 (01:08:10):
How you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
Eric admits he doesn't know why he did this in
the first place, his life is meaningless. No one wants
to hear him talk about it. Even his own parents
are asleep. Phoene gives some wisdom, in the play of
your life, all your great scenes lie ahead of you.
Eric asks, so in thirty to forty years, I could
write a play you'd want to come and see. Phoene says, No,
tonight pretty much killed any interest he had in the theater.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
Oh he's so great.

Speaker 5 (01:08:34):
I missed these scenes so much. These I beg.

Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
Eric asks Phoene where his life will go from here,
and Phoene explains, now you have passion, you have drive,
certainly you have guts. I frankly can't wait to see
what happens to you. Eric asks, with a glimmer in
his eye, you're not going to tell me to give
up my life as an actor and go get a
college education. Phoene says he's told him to get a
college education ten thousand times. He doesn't need to tell
him again. Eric asks about his acting, and Phoenie doesn't hesitate.

(01:09:00):
Get a college education.

Speaker 2 (01:09:02):
College and I mean this is like, you know, this
is this is amazing. Boy meets world like because you
have the joke of a one man show over the
top ridiculous comedy stuff. Yeah, and you still pull the
heart strings, kill the life lessons, make it believable and
create an amazing relationship between two characters, and like it's

(01:09:25):
just solid family writing.

Speaker 5 (01:09:27):
It's also in the writing.

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
They easily and any other show I think would have
done could have done a scene just like this, but
it would have been backstage or off to have Phenie
on stage in the middle of the show in the
spotlight to where then you cut back to Amy and
Allen watching the two of them together on the stage,
and that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
Becomes a show that becomes actually a successful one man
show in a way, I know it's them talking about
you as the two of you are great together. Yes,
like basically are writers and our show saying we know
that these two are great together as actors, as characters,
Like we all love this, and it's like it encodes

(01:10:08):
for the audience a comfort level with the whole thing.

Speaker 5 (01:10:11):
You're just like so good, it's a whole nother like
so beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
It's beautredible.

Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
I know it's beautiful. Alan kind of awake tells Amy,
this part's pretty good. She smiles. Yeah, those two are
pretty great. Together, and then we see Feoenie and Eric,
who has again tucked his head inside his turtleneck. His
partner in crime, mister Foene, sits next to him in embarrassment.
And that's our show.

Speaker 2 (01:10:33):
And that was another fifteen minutes, and one another fifteen minutes,
Like I just wish we had another tag, like room
for another tag. If we had cut that first scene,
we would have had room for another tag and it
could have just been split second one liners of you
like throughout the night of the show. Do you know
what I mean? Like if we just let the camera
roll and they threw out jokes and let you do
whatever you could, they could have had a whole like

(01:10:54):
mash up of Eric one woman show beats. That would
have been so funny.

Speaker 5 (01:10:59):
That was Michael though.

Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
Michael was like, the put the thing back up, and
then I said, and he's like, now look at them,
and so I was like, that's when I turn and
look at them in the thing.

Speaker 5 (01:11:07):
And it was very fun less.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
You imagine if we had done just another like half
hour of that, it would have been so exactly I want.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
To go back.
