Speaker 1 (00:19):
So I've only fallen in love a couple times in
my life. First with television when I was a kid.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
That was your first love.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
That was my first love, will always be my first love.
Then Devin Baker in the fifth grade, followed quickly by
Shannon Shipley in the sixth grade.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Okay, so you're already.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Have Jennifer love Hewett when I was like eighteen nineteen
eight four at four. And then finally what I thought
was the true love of my life, my wife Susan
for fifteen years now.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh no, oh no, where is this going?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
But three days ago I rented a Volvo station Wagon,
and I've never been in love in my life, I
think as I have been with my old man Volvo
station Wagon.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
It's old on the second, the best.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Thing I've ever driven in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
You love minivans?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I do my minivan. Will want to be a mistress
because I'm in love with my Vovo station Wagon.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Wow? Do you love your Volvo station Wagon more than minivans?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh? Wow? It's like, oh my god, it's Sophie's choice.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
You drove an old man car when we were on
boy Beets World. You drove a.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Joseph war a wonderful car. That car. But this Volvo
station Wagon has changed my life. Wow. I don't even
Susan and I share a car. I don't even need
a car. And just for the hell of it, I
think I'm gonna buy a Volvo station Wagon.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Wow. It's what time is it? Is it an old one?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Is it a new No, it's like the new one.
It's like did you I got it? So you know,
I'm back here in Connecticut. I had to rent a car.
My mom has some mobility issues, so it had to
be low to the ground. I couldn't get a mini
van or an suv, so I went to go rent
the car and at Bradley International Airport where in Hartford,
there were two women in their late seventies working at

(02:08):
the counter and eighty five people in line. Wow. So
it took like two hours to finally get to my
rental car. Every third person they were renting the car
to was coming back going, excuse me, miss, but there's
no car in the slot that you just gave me
the number four. No, And so one of the older
women would then walk out and leave the line to

(02:28):
go and actually walk to the person. And now there's
one woman working so it took forever. So we get
up there and they said, we have an SUV. I said,
I can't. I can't do an scuv. She said, well,
why don't we go walk in the parking lot and
go find the car together? And I was like, so
now I'm the guy who's taking flow away from or
Gladys or Agnes whatever her name was, away from all
the people in line. So we go out and we
walk out, and we're walking by and it was like

(02:51):
darkness except for this one ray of sunlight and the
as this new Volvo station wagon jumped up and wrapped
itself around my heart and is not letting go, like
I'm supposed to return it tomorrow, and I'm thinking of
just driving straight back to Los Angeles and keeping the
car and if they can find me the car that

(03:13):
you love to I don't know. It's first of all,
you get in and you know it's a Volvo, so
it's a tank, which you know me and safety. I'm
a big fan of safety. And then all you you
know you have to get in, you have to pair
your phone, everything you have to do. The I got in,
I plugged my phone in and everything popped up. Where
do you want to go, You're good to go. You're

(03:33):
already hooked in. How's everything going? Well? You look great
by the way, blood pressure looks awesome, and I think
you've lost weight. I was like, this is the best
car I've ever been into my entire also, and I
say this as a bona fide old man looks cool
as hell. So I'm just letting me know. I'm a
Volvo guy now, okay, And I wanted you to know that.

(03:54):
It's I don't know how I'm gonna break it to Susan,
but you get your car when I don't need one.
Be that I've fallen in love while i've been away
from her. But man, the Swedes know how to do it.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Because you had ever driven a Volvo in my life.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I don't think I ever had either, And you're missing out.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Okay, it's magical.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's magical. I just don't know what to say.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Has a Volvo Suv and he don't love it?

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Well?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
No, yeah, I get SUV. I get it. Everyone's got
an SUV. When's the last time you were rocking around
in a station wagon? Though? I mean, I was like,
I think I was in the seventies when we called
it the backpack and things like seatbelt optional.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I don't think I've never been in a station wagon.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
What they were huge, and like the lady.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Literally and figuratively, yeah, they were, and we would You
would just lie in the back or get an air
mattress in the back with your bike next to you
when you're going somewhere and you'd hit a big turn
and just the forks of your bike would just slam
in your face. It was the seventies when your seatbelt
was your mom going like this.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I do remember. I do remember that although I was
wearing a seatbelt, but my mom would still do that.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Airstars. Yeah, so he might not love his suv, but
this is it's really really magical.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Traditions to you.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Thank you. We're very happy. We're very happy. It's black
with tan leather or a gray leather interior. It's fly.
I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
There's a Volvo dealer kind of close to our house.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Ye. Well, I'm going to find that enough because I
might get several because I want different colors too, because
they're really I might be that guy where, for no
reason has a fleet of Volvo station wagons.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Okay, listen, yeah, I'll just rent my cars from you, then.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Oh, I'm not reritting them out. They're all mine. Nobody's
going to get to be in them. But they're my
Volvo station wagons. So yeah, I'm that guy, just so
you know.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Okay, it fits it fits you, it does right, Yeah,
it does, it does. I love it. Welcome to bod
Meets World.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I'm Daniel Vishel, I'm right or strong, and I'm rocking
a Volvo in the safest possible way.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
I'm Will Fordell.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Welcome to our episode recap.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Today we are doing season six, episode twenty, The Truth
About Honesty. It originally aired April thirtieth, nineteen ninety nine.
The synopsis Corey and Tapega caused tension at Rachel and
Jack's first dinner party by making an agreement to tell
the truth about everything and everyone. It is directed by
Jeff McCracken. It was written by Alison M. Gibson. It's

(06:32):
her second episode of season six. She wrote Episode twelve,
Cutting the Cord as well. And before I jump into
our one guest star this week, shall we share our
overall thoughts?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Can I? Before we share all over all thoughts? Can
I ask? Was this? Is this? The first episode mccrackens
directed in season six.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I think so, yeah, either first or second. Yeah, he
hasn't been around.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Ok, yeah, it's been a minute since we've since we've
had Jeffrey there. And I saw it in the camaraderie
we all shared in a lot of the scenes. Interesting, Yeah,
I could absolutely see it.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
You all of us, me, writer, Ben, and I think
you were there, Will in the apartment scene where we're
all laughing, just straight straight up what writer, Oh yeah, dude, right, laughing.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Writer. You are trying.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
I'm trying to keep it together, mouth thing and Ben
is just laughing, and then it goes to me and
I am trying.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
To keep it together for the first rd of my line.
But then after I just go, yeah, we're just all laughing.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, I totally just that, And it's I think we're
comfortable again, just back and we're just we're playing and
having fun.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, it's it's really it's pretty fun. But what do
you think about the episode?

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Will, I don't know. I don't know. Here I thought
I was eric like the era storyline was actually pretty
funny to me. The whole thing with the Yeah, I
mean it's been done a thousand times too, with the baby.
You're making fun that the baby is your your kid.
I mean, I get it's been done, but just the
Eric being a liar and constantly cutting back to like, yeah,
I took the.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Bullet, Yeah it hurt, Like I thought that was very funny.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
I thought that was even bigger, right, Yeah. And I
remember the whole I'm Batman thing because I was recording
Batman at the time, and so yeah, Michael put that
in because he was a big comic book fan. But
for the rest of it again, they've they've really kind
of switched to Panga again, where she's now all needs
to know when the wedding is all of a sudden,

(08:36):
which just doesn't fit the character at all. Sean, I
don't I don't know. I don't know overall, because I
liked some of the Eric stuff. I didn't like the
the dinner party stuff didn't make There was no point
in having it to be a dinner party, Like, none
of that made any sense. It sounds it seems like
they were they're now just trying to write for Jack

(08:57):
and and Rachel because the story were they going to
get together? Were they not? Now that they are, they're
kind of like, well, now what do we do? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:05):
How does this does couple change their lives?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah? Yeah, you know. And then Corey, he's so over
the top of this episode, like kind of caricatry. That's
my answer is I truly don't know what I feel
about this episode. I have to watch it again.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Frankly, Yeah, yeah, writer, I've been thinking about it a lot. Right, Okay,
here's here's where I think I've landed. I don't think
it's that bad of an episode.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Hm, I hate it?

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Okay, Well, I just don't like it. I just don't
like jokes, I don't like anything about it. But just
you know, actually, you know what I like. I thought
Jack's storyline about like wanting to be somebody wanting to
do I thought that was a great funny bit and
it revealed more about his character, which was and Matt's great.
I thought the Eric storyline was funny, you know, but

(09:54):
like the setup just felt forced. I don't know, Like
I I just realized, like I don't actually have criticism
that I think is helpful in the sense of like
this is why this episode doesn't work or it's not.
I just didn't like it. I just don't like it.
I was like, you know by the time Sean and
Angela are going to screw in somebody else's bed and
everybody acts like this is totally normal. I was like,

(10:15):
what world are we in where people share razors and
are cool with that but not okay with deodorant sharing?
Like none of it made any sense. I just I
was like, I don't like this episode.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
I don't think but the screwing in the the screwing
is such a weird word to me word. I like,
let's be more professional about it. So bumping uglies in
a different room, didn't you? And I have a whole
conversation about how because like if you went to college,
you kind of got used to.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Like during a dinner party, like literally everyone's gonna be like,
go use my bad and they don't even say go
use my bed, or you just go do it because
you're gonna I was so weirded out.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
I was just like this.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Show, this whole episode, Like even all the bathroom stuff
still feels weird to me. I'm not comfortable in that space.
I'm not comfortable with people coming in and out of
showers like all of it. Just I was like, I
don't I don't think I can criticize this episode because
I don't have the fix. I just don't like it.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
I was like, this is the whole honesty thing with Ben.
I mean, just you saw where it was going. You
knew it was gonna happen, and there's nothing about that.
I mean, I get where they were going with that
kind of thing, but yeah, it was very caricatury and
he's really never seen anything of tapangas they've been together
since they were eleven years old.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
She's going to show them her butt.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
In the elevator.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, that's why I don't know what to think about it.
And now I'm so distracted by the lobsters everywhere. They're
in every scene that joy.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
I started when I started watching the episode, I was like,
I'm going to look for lobsters. I started looking, didn't
see one right off the bat, and then forgot all
about it and never saw another one.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, they're in the They're in the bathroom scene over
in the corner. It's in the bathroom scene over the corner.
It's hanging on the fridge in the in the boys apartment.
It's everywhere. So yeah, I truly I might hate it.
I might not hate it. I don't know with this episode,
I truly don't know.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Yeah, I thought, like writer mentioned and Will mentioned, I
loved Eric's storyline. I thought that was very funny. Every
time we went back to that and he was lying
to her and she was she had no reason to
suspect it was a lie. She very much was like, Wow,
that was all very funny to me. I love that

(12:26):
we get to learn about Jack, that he is a
little too passive, doesn't speak up, doesn't know how to
you know, he's a people pleaser.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
I loved that.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
I loved I thought Maitland was great in this episode.
I thought I thought her doing the having the you
know very easy. Yeah, yeah, he's too passive, and her
having that attitude of like, come on, you've got to
find something him something wrong with me, and him not
being able to name it.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
I thought all that was very cute.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
I also don't love the episode for all of the
reasons you guys have mentioned.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
One.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
What's what? What is Tebanga doing? Why did why did
she have that hair?

Speaker 1 (13:07):
What? What? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
This feels like our writers remember from their childhoods that
when a woman wanted to have a dinner party, somebody
would go to the beauty parlor.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
I'm gonna go to the beauty parlor today and get
get my curlers in, and then I'm gonna come.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Home and I'm gonna be unrecognizable because I went to
the beauty parlor. And then they decided that must be
what these college friends could do those kids today. Rachel,
now that she's in a relationship, is gonna want to
have a fancy dinner party where she makes seven cornish hens?

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Is it even possible to buy seven chickens? Not around
number eight?

Speaker 4 (13:59):
And then no, wasn't that And then to have everybody
show up and like, we've never seen to Panga like this,
and so what's the story there?

Speaker 1 (14:08):
She went and did this and.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
It's not totally surprising, but Corey taking to Penga saying,
can you just be honest with me? Because I feel
like that's a really important foundation for a marriage and
I would really like it if, even if it's a
difficult subject, I want you to be honest with me.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Him taking that and going, oh, I can't wait to be.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
A total asshole like that's not shocking, but it's not
fun to watch and it doesn't make for enjoyable doesn't
make it for enjoyable TV.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
They also don't know each other well enough at this
point that she would know he doesn't want me to.
He's the kind of guy where you don't use his razor,
like you know that stuff. I mean, this is that's
all that should None of that should be shocking, you know,
it's just yea yeah. Uh. She's holding the game hens
at one point. Are they not? Were they not just
right out of the oven? Are these Are you have

(15:00):
teflon hands? How are you holding onto these things constantly?

Speaker 3 (15:03):
You know what? I think? I think this episode was
meant to be a romp where it's like a dinner
party romp where like, oh, everyone's at cross purposes, but
it actually is not sharp enough to be a romp.
It's like kind of soft around the edges. And it's
like it starts with Corey and Tapanga being honest with
each other, and that has to become a whole dinner
party where everyone's being honest. It's like, I don't know,
like I just felt like the mechanics are not sharp

(15:25):
enough to be ridiculous, which is kind of what it
needed to be. Like, I think, you know, the eric
ridiculousness was a relief because it was like, Okay, that
is just being funny. Everything else I was like, is
is it serious? Is if? I don't know, man, it
just felt weird, you know.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Win is in the situation, the fact that Angela doesn't
want to have any strings with Sean.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
She grabs my butt in the beginning, and I was
like what, yeah, you know, I was, and Sean reacts
like it's kind of out of nowhere, and it's like, yeah,
this hasn't been established, like that she's hot for Sean
and like that she misses him physically, and.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh, that's a whole yeah, you know, you know the
fix that I had because it hit me as I
was watching it, you know what the part one of
the storylines should have been because I thought, I was like, oh,
oh this is great. Is the entire episode Corey in
Tapega should have been trapped in the elevator m and
you just keep cutting back to them talking and it's
it's the truth. It's the honest conversation. That's one whole

(16:25):
storyline is literally just them. That's your romp is. It's
like you've got the dinner party going on. You put
Sean and Angelos somewhere Corey Topanger trapped in the elevator
having a whole different conversation, and they're just trapped there
with the honesty that to me when I saw them,
I was like, oh, that's that's like a friend's thing.
It's like, oh, you're trapped in one.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Can't they start the dinner party because they haven't arrived yet,
So that like is an actual, real conflict as opposed
to the way it is right now. It's all it's
it's character based conflict, which should be good, but it's
all initiated by the characters. So it's kind of like,
you guys have put yourself in this position. So I
can't really feel like anybody's caught except Jack. Frankly, like, yeah,
Jack is the only one who's sort of like a

(17:01):
normal dinner party, and like, oh, and I can't come
up with something honest. And then when yeah, I thought
that was funny.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Everyone when his moment when he gives the arm pump
where he's like your hair in the shower, Yes, because
he's the only.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Character who's like reacting to something that was out of
his control. Everybody else is only responding to something that
they initiated, So it's hard.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
To be like, uh okay, yeah, but we were having fun.
We as actors. You could tell when we're all together
in the apartment scene rider.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
You're I couldn't laugh and see it, so I am.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
You, Danielle Is It was like, yeah, it was that.
Those are the moments I remember.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
It was like, and I wish I knew what we
were laughing about because it looked it looked really funny.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
I know, something ridiculous exactly.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Guest starring Chad Morgan as Dana.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Chad had appeared on TV shows like The District House,
This Is Us, and in movies like The Purge, Anarchy,
Helter Skelter, and Pearl Harbor, but the job that had
kept her busiest was as a voice on Robot Chicken
from two thousand and five to two thousand and nine,
where she voiced characters like Hillary Clinton, Katie Couric, Christina Aguilera,
Estelle Geddy, Cameron Diaz, and Terry Hatcher.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Cool Yes.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Jumping into our recap, we start in the co ed
dorm bathrooms. Angela to Panga, Sean and Corey are apparently
all getting ready for the day at the exact same time.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Of course, Corey is in the shower all class together
exactly right. This episode he had finals again.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, it's like the second or third episode in the
latter half of the season that Bill hasn't been in.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
No, didn't we just do the b episode where they were.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, but no, no, no, not in a row. But like
the what two before that or one before that Bill,
the one where Eric adopts Tommy or Wance adopt Tommy.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
He's not in that.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
I mean, he's done a couple now where he hasn't
been there and you miss him.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's time, I know.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Corey is in the shower while to Panga is begging
him to pick a wedding date. The banquet halls are
filling up. Corey responds, no, I'm wet and naked. To Panga,
while outside of the showers, adds me too, which I
thought was a very risky joke, forcing Corey to swing
open the shower curtain with a grin. He quickly realizes
Topanga has fooled him, You're not naked. In response to

(19:15):
Panga shoves a piece of paper into his mouth and
Corey shuts the curtain to Pega continues Corey, I can't
pick out a wedding dress or flowers or anything until
we set a date and will to your point? Why
why is Tapanga like this now? For the last for
several episodes, she's been like the date, the date, the date,
the date to date, the wedding, the wedding, the wedding,
the wedding. And yet at the start of the season

(19:37):
it was We're gonna just relax and take its low.
It seems very out of character for her.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yep, it sure does so weird.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Corey brushes past her concerns will I ever see you naked? Meanwhile,
the paper is still in his mouth. To Panga smirks,
Someday Corey mishears her. Someday she just yells pick a date,
but he can't let his high key horniness go. How
about your tushy right now is a sign of good faith? Instead,
to Pega grabs the shaving cream and sprays it in

(20:05):
his face.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Corey tries to shut.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
The curtain, but instead swings it open on the other side,
and Angela jokingly comments, ooh, nice tush.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
None of this is funny to me. No, that wasn't
none of it. None of this this is hijinks with
a curtain and a bunch of people in their late
teens eighteen nineteen years old.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Joking around about Tushi's is just in a bathroom in
a bathroom so weird?

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah, that's that was my overwhelming feeling. But the whole
episode was just like, this is weird. I just don't
know what world this existed, and I don't know. I
guess I'm not the target audience.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
I get what they're trying to do too with the
bathroom set, but the whole sect doesn't work for me.
It never worked. I never got it. I get what
they're trying to do. It ages up the show and
now they're all more vulnerable because it just never worked.
I set it's It's not pretty.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Episode where Corey was scared to go in there, and
then perfect front Angela that would never need to see
that we never need to see.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
Exactly couldn't agree more YEP, Corey screams and make sure
the curtain is closed. Sean just grins and shakes his head,
probably at the idea that he is still going through
the motions of this show. Corey again swings open the curtain,
but this time he's wrapped in a towel. Angela gushes ooh,
hubba hubba. Corey looks at her with judgment. I'm just
a piece of meat to you, aren't I? Angela retorts,

(21:27):
all men are, isn't that right? My little rump roast?
As she taps Sean's butt twice? Sean's a little taken aback, Angela?
What did you do that for? Angela matter of factly answers,
because I did, and nobody laughs. Meanwhile, Topega's rummaging through
her toiletry bag. Oh, Corey here, I borrowed your razor

(21:47):
and hands it back to her fiance. Corey is obviously shocked.
You used my razor. She shrugs, yeah, just to shave
my legs. You don't mind, do you? He adjusts his
emotions and forces a smile. Mind that the razor I
use on my face was used to shave your wonderful
leg It only brings us much closer and increases my

(22:07):
overall joy to Panga nods good.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
She leans in to give Corey a kiss. Please remember
to look at those dates.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
I mean, I don't believe that you would feel pressure
to lie about this, Like if you're disgusted by somebody
using your razor, that seems fine to just say like no,
please don't.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Please don't do that or use my face.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, that's it's so that this is the the launch
of the storyline is Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
It also depends which razor you're using, because I use
one on the body and one on the face. He
used my body rasor on your body. I don't care
my body raiser on your face. I might have a problem.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
But the the end scene where Tapega uses his deodorant,
like that seems a little more questionable to me, like
or that seems a little more understandable, like maybe that's okay,
like maybe you know, like if so, in other words,
if Topanga had used Corey's deodorant, I feel like him
being like, oh maybe I should be okay with this

(23:01):
makes more sense than using a raisor maybe No, it's
all I don't know, it's all just I mean degrees
of sharing, I guess, is what I'm saying. Like it
seems to be sharing a rasor is a higher degree
of intimacy than sharing deodorant, and so.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Well, they should have gone right to toothbrush. I mean
toothbrush is the one where you talk to people where
it's like please, please don't use my toothbrush. I find
that gross, like that's that's my toothbrush. Where I've heard
some couples that are like, oh no, we share toothbrushes, and.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
To me, that's like I've heard that.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yeah, that's but that's also a big TV trope, like
I'm gonna I did it on Seinfeld, they did it
on Friends. It's like, oh, yeah, well, I mean if
I use your use your tooth.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Do it because they were like, we should do a
toothbrush episode, but we can't wrik it about the toothbrush.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
I mean she mentions it later in the elevator, what
are you going to do when I use your toothbrush?
They use it as like the all the big example
of intimacy.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
We're all agreed using someone else's toothbrush is disgusting.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Correct, Yeah, I'm gonna think I've done really Yeah, yeah
it's there.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
There was a time that I've forgot a toothbrush and
I was like, Okay, I'm just gonna use your It's
not gonna be we're not gonna make it a habit,
but I'm just gonna You're just gonna use your use exactly.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Dot's gross to you, but using somebody else's okay.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Okay, so she says, please remember to look at those dates.
She says as she walks out of the bathroom. I
will my smooth one, Corey responds as she waves goodbye.
As soon as the door shuts, Corey is disgusted. I'm
gonna be sick. She used my black. Sean, still shaving
his face, asks what's the big deal? Corey motions at
his razor black. Angela peeps her head out from the

(24:35):
shower curtain. Why don't you just change the blade, you
big baby, And Sean even admits I think it's sexy,
and Angela agrees. Corey's even more grossed out. Her stubble
on my face is sexy to you? And right then
the door swings.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Open and the sexy sharing.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
No, I mean, I don't think it's sexy, but you
guys are all a bunch of weirdos. Who cares?

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Right? I mean, I don't find it. The razor's not
as bad to me is the toothbrush.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Use my razor? Use my toothbrush. No, no, I said,
I don't think it's sexy, but I don't have a
problem with it.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Well, it depends if you're staring at somebody while you're
brushing your tongue with their toothbrush. Pretty sexy. No, no,
so did you also notice right of the big continuity problem? No,
so it cuts you. You shave half your face and
like the shaving cream is gone, and then it cuts
back and you get the full thing of shaving cream again.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Oh I did see that.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yes, I was too distracted by the fact that I
was shaving upwards, which I use. You don't shave it
back then? No, now, I would never. It's so rough
in your skin.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
You go in the direction of your hair, which I
do for your skin to shave.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
I do that right, go up to trim it up.
I always do that. Sure, and the armpits too down
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, he shaves his armpits.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Hell, yeah, I do. Yeah, sexy, There you go.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
The door swings open and Topanga has returned. Corey quickly
turns his frown upside down, but Angela blurts out Corey's disgusted.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
You used his razor. Corey can't believe.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Are you kidding me? Topanga wonders, why wouldn't you have
just said something, forcing Corey to laugh.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
I don't mind. I think that you using my razor
is very sexy.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Topega responds, oh good, So if I were just to
use this razor right now to shave under my arms,
you'd be okay with that. Corey fights back every urge
in his body and meagerly responds sure. Tobega grabs the
razor and motions toward her armpits. Corey yells, no, I'd
hate it. I hate it. Please don't. He grabs the
razor back and caresses it like a newborn baby. Topanga
doesn't get it. Why wouldn't you have just told me

(26:30):
the truth? Corey laughs again, the truth. That's funny, the truth.
Topeka isn't having.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
It, Corey.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
If we're going to be married, we have to be
able to be totally honest with each other. We should
learn from this from right now, total honesty. Seventeen years
into this relationship, it's about to let's be honest with
each other.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Let's be honest.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
Sean, still shaving his face, returns to an old catchphrase,
it's a trap.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
But Corey is intrigued.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Wait a minute, are you saying I can tell you
the truth about everything? Sean is now singing to the
tune of shave and a haircut trap, trappy trap trap?

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Do you remember the tune trap?

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Trappity trap, trap, trap trap, chuck.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Shave and haircut? Two bids? What do you think the
chances are that we can find it? Take somewhere where
you actually did say it's our trap. I don't know.
I wonder if you if you would have done that.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Oh, I'm sure you did. It seems like you would have.
What is that from It's Star Wars?

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Star Wars?

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Returning to the Jedi to Pega.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Answers her fiance, I want you to Sean finishes the
song trap Trap. Corey continues his line of questioning, are
you saying I can tell you exactly what I think
with no fear or repercussion or lots and lots of yelling?
To Pega dares him to try it, so Corey maneuvers
around his first truth. Well, okay, to Panga, if you

(27:52):
don't mind, would you please consider keeping your paws off
my razor. Topega quickly answers done. Corey shocked, really, She
gives him a kiss and walks back out of the bathroom.
Corey is smiling ear to ear, wow, honesty all the time.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
This will be good.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
Huh on his way out, Sean sarcastically responds, Yeah, this
will be real good. And I think they wanted us
to really feel like they were setting up a great
episode that we just can't wait to see where this goes.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
And yeah, I did not have that feeling.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
No, well, but maybe I did.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
This sadness in your face will.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well, No, I just thought it just got too big,
too fast. With Ben. It was a lot of it
was very just watch what I do next with the
telling of the truth, It's like that kind of stuff
was like, okay.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
I know if it had been just more like falling
into falling into traps and also not saying things in
super rude ways, just being like, you know, like, oh,
we have to have dinner with my We're going to
make plans to have dinner with my parents.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
I don't like dinner with your parents. What?

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah right, Yeah, No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Sorry, I don't. I don't know. I've never had a
good time.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Also, because we haven't set up that we were having
a dinner party. Yeah, I'm not sure that, like I'm
not aware we're entering a situation where Corey being honest
is going to lead to hijinks, like you know what
I mean, Like we're just Oh, Corey's gonna tell the truth,
and I'm like, okay, under like, what is the time pressure?
What is the circumstance with this is gonna be bad?

(29:23):
Why is this bad for Sean? Why does this affect anybody?
It's just it's just like a character is gonna be himself. No,
but in what circumstance like and then we have to
go a whole nother scene before we get that circumstance,
and then even then it doesn't quite make sense. I
don't know, I'm just I.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Was, Yeah, Well, we're in the student union to Benga
and Angela sit at a table while Sean and Corey
stand nearby. Topanga notices something in the newspaper. Oh look,
my petit shoe is playing at the university theater.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Do you want to go?

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Corey looks at Sean and says, watch this. He answers
to Panga, No, I don't want to go. You know
why because it's a chick flick, and Corey doesn't like
chick flicks.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
You know what else?

Speaker 4 (30:02):
I don't like the ice capades. Don't ever take me there.
Corey leans into Sean.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
This is so not Corey.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Corey he loves the ice capades.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yes, he's a Kapaids guy.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
We've established this character as like the old man in
the relationship. He would love this sort of evening out.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
I don't exactly.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
It's like a couple episodes ago they flipped Corey and Topanga.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah exactly, and I don't.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
I don't get why.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
It's very weird.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Corey leans into Sean, so how am I doing? And annoyed,
Sean answers, You're right on schedule. Then Eric walks in
with a baby stroller. He's babysitting Joshua until Alan and
Amy come pick him up, and that's when Rachel and
Jack appear. Eric tries to quickly scuttle away, but Rachel
stops him. Oh, Eric, wait, we want to catch everybody here.
Jack and I are having our first dinner party on

(30:52):
Friday night, and we wanted to invite all of you
because I'm going to cook and it's going to be really,
really fun to Panga, Corey, Angel and all agree to go,
but Eric stays silent. Rachel puts her hand on his arm. Eric,
we really want you to come. Eric asks, well, how
do you expect me to go back to a place
where I had my heart ripped out of my chest
and thrown around the room like it was a.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Like a like a nerf heart.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Rachel grabs Eric by the shirt and aggressively explains, I
want you to forget about everything that has happened between
us and remember that we're friends, and I want you
to come to our party because it's for friends. Okay, yeah, okay,
just lay it out there, say it, lay it out there.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
That's what I want.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Eric angrily responds, will you be making tater tots? And
Rachel keeps up the intensity. Oh, I'll make tater tots.
Eric barks back, Oh, then I'll be there, then quickly
pulls back and walks away with the stroller, crying to himself.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
So I love, I want and I.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Don't know if we ever do this, I have no
memory of it whatsoever. But I want to know why.
I want to know why Eric thinks he's in love
with Rachel. I know, like I want a scene with
Feene or somebody going Okay, great, you're in love withther
You've said this now several times.

Speaker 5 (32:12):
Why she's what something? Yeah, okay, she's taught like something,
she's tall, and then it comes to realize he's not
in love with her at all. It's that it was
a competition between him and Jack Jack one. He's more
hurt by that, like there's so much there to mine of.
You know, they've taken Tommy from Eric at this point.
Now he's not living with anybody. He's still apparently living

(32:32):
back with his parents. He taken Rachel from him.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
If you're going to talk about Eric, I want to
know some stuff about Eric at this point, something about
the actual guy again r And I want to know, Okay,
why is one.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Of the things he loves that she's such a good cook.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
You know, looky, you're having a why what are you
making at this dinner party? And she names like his
special favorite Yeah, my special tater talts.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
And my thing.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
I want a girlfriend that wants to throw dinner parties
for you know, makes my favorite mood something.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I just want to know why he thinks he's in
love with her and now he can't even be friends
with Jack, it seems like. And he's like, okay, well,
let's can we delve into that a little bit? Yeah,
And I don't know if we ever do.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
I don't think so, we'll see.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
Eric makes his way to the patio and reaches into
the stroller to fix a blanket. Oh, josh you're getting cold, buddy.
A nearby girl notices his fatherly instincts, Oh, who's the
little one. Eric answers, that's Joshua, and the girl responds,
he's so cute.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
How old is he? Eric shrugs his shoulders, months or something.
I don't know. Look at me, though, I'm Eric. The
girl seems impressed.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
You know, there's nothing sweeter than a father with his
new baby. Eric confidently responds, Oh, sure, there is the
father his new baby and his new baby's girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
His new baby's girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, that's the way it's written, And that's what I
had that. I was like, is she going to catch that?
He calls the baby's girlfriend, Like what? And then she
acts I think that was a mistake. I don't know.
She acts like a sentence to me perfect sense because
she's like, there's no why for whatever she says.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
And I was like, but the baby, yeah, the new
baby's girlfriend. H Oh, that's so weird. And it didn't
land on me when I listened to it. I assumed
he said, and the new baby's father's girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Right, a new girlfriend, the new baby, the dad and
the new dad's girlfriend. Really dad, something like that, yeah baby,
new dad, Yeah no, yeah, Oh that's so funny.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
The girl wonders what about your wife, and Eric quickly
answers dead, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Later, the girl.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
Looks very concerned, and Eric continues, no, I'm all that
he's got in the world. And that's when Alan and
Amy return, and, now nervous, Eric yells out, my dear
old mom and dad. Hey, all right, great cup of coffee,
Come on. He tries to usher his new love interest
into the cafe. Amy looks into the stroller. Hey little boy,
did you miss your mommy? And the girl is now
rightfully confused. Eric jumps in, Did.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
I miss my mommy? Of course I missed my mommy.
Come here.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Eric reaches down to give Amy a big hug and
turns to Alan for an embrace.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
I missed my daddy too, didn't I be?

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Guy?

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Alan is weirded out? All right? Back off? Eric asks
his parents, have you met my new friend?

Speaker 1 (35:08):
This is?

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Eric points at the girl and she says Dana, which
Dana Pruitt?

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Did we? How come we had such few names.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Dana was also I think the name of the towny
that Eric dated.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Who it? Yeah, Dana is in Michael's back right something.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Get It's like, really, these are the names we have?

Speaker 4 (35:30):
We have, there's lots of names in the world. Eric
quickly repeats her name to his parents. Dana tells them
you have an adorable grandson, and Amy is confused. Eric
creeps behind Dana and starts silently begging the parents to
lie to a girl so he can hook up with her.
Alan catches the drift and chimes in, oh uh, yes,
yes we do, Thank you very much. Eric and Dana

(35:52):
start to walk off. As Eric mouths the words thank you.
Alan wishes him good luck, and Amy realizes he's using
our child to pick up women. Alan comments, it's disgusting.
I'm going to have a talk with him. Another pretty
young girl walks onto the patio and gives the stroller
a look as she passes, but says nothing. To avoid
a sag rate Alan says to her, see what I

(36:13):
made there, and Amy slaps him.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
On them on college women in front of his wife.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
I think that was more, he says, See what I
made there is more? Like proud Papa is how I
read it. But I think that's not what they were going.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
I mean, they're clearly trying to allude to the idea
that nothing picks up women faster than a new baby,
which a writer, did you.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Also have that experience?

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Actually did you?

Speaker 2 (36:39):
All right?

Speaker 1 (36:40):
So he's just talking.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
About this with Alex because it was it was a
hysterical thing, like I'm I've got Indie strapped to me,
and we were like having a party or something. So
I was buying a bunch of groceries and wine and
one of my like the wine, I'm trying to load
the car and one of the wine bottles just falls
crashes onto it and like wine everywhere, and I've got

(37:02):
like broken glass, a baby strapped to me, and no joke,
three different women come out of no to come.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Oh are you okay?

Speaker 3 (37:11):
How can we help? I was like, you know, and
the joke was that when I talked about it later
with Alex, She's like, yeah, if I had been carrying
a baby and dropped a bottle of wine, everybody would
be like, look at the alcoholic mother who shouldn't have
a kid.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
But yes, no, Dad's get a pass.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Like Dad's I mean, like when I do anything fatherly,
it is considered like magic and wonderful. It's like, look
at you're being so good, just just by.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Dad, good dad. Yes I'm a dad, Yes exactly.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
It's like but the expectation is that, you know, moms
are supposed to be doing this, and if a dad
sticks around, he's amazing. Yeah. So I definitely. I don't
know if it was always like an attraction, like you
gonna hit on me, but it was definitely a level
of like I always got props for a baby dad,
like in a way that I don't think women get

(38:00):
right for sure.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Right man, Well, we're in Rachel and Jack's apartment.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
Rachel's in the kitchen prepping for the dinner party when
Jack comes downstairs and eats a radish off her plate.
What are you doing? Rachel explains, carving those radishes? I
just spent half an hour on the one in your
mouth while chewing, Jack admits it's good. Rachel takes a
look at his outfit. Oh you weren't planning on wearing
mat were you? Jack is confused, What don't I look

(38:25):
good in this? Rachel explains, Oh, no, you look fine.
You look fine. I just thought that maybe since this
is our first dinner party together, you might, I don't know,
want to dress up a little bit. Jack wonders, got
anything in particular you want.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Me to wear.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Rachel tries her best to assure him, Oh, no, I
want you to wear whatever you want to wear.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
Does Jack, it seem like his shirt is kind of dressy?

Speaker 2 (38:44):
I thought his outfit was perfectly dressy.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
I mean, he puts on a sweater. Is a sweater better?

Speaker 1 (38:50):
He puts on something tighter to show off than Matt
Lawrence this of it, And I think a different pair
of pants, like he puts on he goes from pants
to slacks.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
I think he's wearing a short sleeve button down.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
Which she's wearing the same one you're wearing.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
Less less formal than a long sleeve card like like
a crew neck sweater. I do think you would say
one is a little more formal than the other.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
So he did look more dressy when he came down
the second time.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
But why not put him in a T shirt? Like
if the point is.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
That he's not like he's it's not like he's wearing
his pajamas. And she said, Dude, I know we're having
our friends over her we're having a dinner party.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Seems like an easy fix. He's just wearing like a
rock T shirt or something that's like.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
And flip flops. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Jack looks down at his shirt, except this Rachel pacifies
him with a laugh You're so funny.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
With a matching fake smile.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
Jack reveals, now I'm going to go think about things,
and then we're in the elevator.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
I mean, hold on, it's a minor point, but it
actually like it kind of gets to the idea that
like she's ridiculous, yeah, whereas like why not make it
not ridiculous. It's like it's okay for her character to
be demanding, like you know what I mean, Like the
show is saying that she's been hyper sensitive or you
know that, and it's rationalizing that by not having him,

(40:07):
whereas it could have had the same conflict but kind
of had her more understandable where he didn't dress up
and right, she's asking something.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
I really played to him being casual.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Yeah, but instead they you know, it's it's okay for
her to be crazy anxiety unhinged woman as opposed to
somebody who is asking her partner to like maybe try
a little harder tonight because I'm kind hard. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
The whole thing about this is that Rachel has become
annoying right since getting into a relationship. Right after they
were in a relationship, she was like, why don't we
ever go dancing?

Speaker 2 (40:39):
You need to take me dancing, let's go do this thing.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
And now she's like, I want to have a dinner party,
and she's like, and the thing you're wearing isn't right,
and like it's being in a relationship has changed who
she was before she got into the relationship in ways
that we are not saying our good ways right now.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
And she's now supposed to understand them. We're supposed to
think it's insane.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
And also Topanga has completely changed since she has gotten engaged.
Now where originally she was totally fine with waiting and
we're just going to do it when we feel ready.
Now she's obsessed with I need to buy a dress,
and I've got to get flowers and I'm and we
got to have all the stuff.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
So, yeah, they don't. It's definitely not.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Written like women are chill in relationships.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
No, No, the women are naggie and the men have
to go Okay, I guess you know, she's just being
like that again.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
It's yeah, we're in the elevator, Angela, Corey, Sean, and
Tapanga are all heading up to the dinner party, but
things seem pretty tense to Panga, who has some very

(41:54):
intense crimped hair going on, stares ahead while Corey is
focused on her new do with his mouth wide open.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
Did you remember this?

Speaker 2 (42:02):
I do, Yeah, I remember it.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
I remember.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
No, it's just a crimping iron, you know. You you
get you get it hot, you put it.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
Here, and you move it down here and you're here.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
It definitely faster than you know, wearing curlers or even
maybe curling your hair.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
It's not the same as curling your hair.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Uh. And then I remember the butterfly clips. You know,
butterfly clips were very big in the nineties, and so
to take the crimped hair and to make it look
even more wild, we just put the butterfly clips in.
And yeah, so I remember. I remember doing the hairstyle
and thinking, well, this is a nightmare. I did not

(42:41):
love the look. I liked the butterfly clip look. I actually,
months later wore a similar hairstyle, but with straight hair.
Wear with my hair and a bunch of butterfly clips
and thought that looked cute. But the crimp, the crimped
hair with the butterfly clips is quite a thing. Once
the elevator doors open, core asks Tapanga, at what point,

(43:01):
when you were paying to have this done to your hair,
did you look in the mirror and say, hey, this
looks good? So that's my point. She didn't do it herself.
It's not like she tried to do her own hair
and then wasn't.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Good at all.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Right, she paid to go have her It's not a
bad hair cut or bad hair color. So why did
she suddenly go pay for someone to style her hair
because they're.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Going to a dinner party? Yeah? In what universe do
college kids while I'm going one going to a dinner party,
two better go to the beauty parlor to get my
hair done? Like what?

Speaker 3 (43:38):
What?

Speaker 4 (43:39):
It's just I don't understand. Tapega is annoyed. You've made
your point. You don't like my hair. Corey tells Sean
watch this and turns to his peeved fiance Topanga.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
If I may be honest, and you said I.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
Could, I don't dislike your hair. No, no, I hate it.
No hates too strong a word. Oh no, hates good.
I think whoever did this to you should be taken outside,
tied down and made to look at it.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
And the inmates find this very.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
It's actually a pretty funny line.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
It's a very funny line. Yeah, I just don't you know,
Corey is seen honesty means being a jerk. He's just
being mean. And while it's a funny line, it's not.
It's not likable, like it's not like none of is no.

Speaker 4 (44:25):
The fact that Corey gets a listen, I want you
to be honest with me, even if it's even if
the truth hurts sometimes. I don't know why he has
to say, like, worse than death would be looking at.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
This hair, which is what I have to do right now.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
It is a very funny line, but it does just
make me feel very much like I can't believe I
have to explain to you that when I say I
want you to be honest with me, I don't want
you to go out of your way to aggressively hurt me.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Yeah, that's what I mean by Corey pushing it too much.
This week, it was just like, okay, it's come on, really,
who would do this?

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Who?

Speaker 4 (45:03):
I don't know, Sean explains, to Angela, he's like a
dog with a bone, and they both shake their heads.
Then we're back in Rachel and Jack's apartment. There's a
knock on the door, and Rachel takes one last glance
at Jack, who is now in a sweater. She gives
him a smile. She opens the door to Topanga, Corey, Angela,
and Sean. Rachel greets her friends.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Hi, come on.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
In, oh, Topanga, I love your hair Tapega thanks her,
but Corey reveals, though not asked, I don't don't worry.
We have an honesty packed. We tell each other the
truth about everything. Now, Sean, again sarcastic, adds, yeah, nothing
bad's gonna happen at all. Now we have to like
reset up the whole scenario. Now that we're inside the

(45:40):
apartment for the dinner party, Rachel says, you know what,
this reminds me of the game we used to play
back in high school.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
It was an honesty game.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
We put everybody's name in a hat, and whoever's name
you draw, you can ask whatever you want. Sean grabs
a platter I just came to eat, which I thought
was very funny. Sehn's like, oh no, I'm not playing
this dumb game, but I do like some free food.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
So it's Truth or Dare without any possible sex. But
then they have Angela and Sean go off and no sex,
So why not just play truth or Dare.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Because there needs to be linked to honesty as the concept.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
But that's truth right right.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
But then it's because the setup was that Tapankas said,
I want you to be honest with me, Corey, so
we needed to connect those two things.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
I know, I know, just what kind of game is
that we're gonna put your name in a hat and
then we're going to ask you questions you have to
tell us the answers to. It's the game, Yeah, just talking,
you know, other than the fact that you're using a hat,
it's not a game.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
So yeah, okay, Sean grabs a platter. I just came
to eat. Jack quietly tells Sean that's a nice outfit,
which is another really funny line that you're wearing the.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Same shirt, same, exactly the same shirt.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
No, noticing he's wearing the same shirt, Rachel asked him
to change out over noticing his discomfort, Angela asks Sean
are you afraid of honesty? And Sean has no problem, admitting,
oh yeah in a big way to Pega chimes in
Corey and I aren't.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Shut up.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
I think. Corey agrees honesty's a sinch for us. Sean
just yells trap at him, but Rachel is ready to play. Great,
then I'll get the hat. Corey suggests to put it
on to Panga and then starts evil laughing, getting the
audience to again ooh. Corey quickly realizes he's the only
one laughing. Okay, I'm done. Rachel returns with the hat. Okay, everyone,

(47:37):
let's play, but Jack isn't sold.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Do we have to play a game?

Speaker 4 (47:41):
Rachel explains, Oh, come on, dinner's not quite ready and
we have to wait for Eric. Anyway, it's really fun
to think of intimate questions that'll really embarrass everybody. Angela
says that she'll go first, and she grabs a card
from the hat Jack. Jack knows this is bad even
before the question. Angela asks, if you could change one
thing about Rachel, what would you change? Trying to change
the subject, Jack responds, I don't know who's next, and

(48:04):
quickly walks toward the food. Rachel pleads, Oh, come on, Jack, try,
I mean there must be something about me that bothers you.
Jack shakes his head and quickly replies, nope, sorry, Oh
good game. Feels good to be honest. Huh Tepenga reaches
into the hat and grabs a name Rachel, same question.
Is there anything about Jack that bothers you? Rachel stares
at Jack and he says, see how hard it is?

(48:26):
But instead Rachel quickly answers he's too passive. He needs
to voice his opinions more ouch. Angela asks, oo, Jack,
what do you think about that? A dejected Jack shrugs
his shoulders.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
He was arguably the best one in this episode. He
really was so good.

Speaker 4 (48:48):
The doorbell rings and it's Eric and Dana. Rachel is
surprised to see a guest. Eric explains, yeah, yeah, this
is Dana. I met her at the student union when
I was with my son Joshua. Eric gives everyone a
death'st to go along with his story. Yeah, he's with
Grandma and Grandpa Matthews. Right now, you remember my son Joshua.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Josh They missed a huge joke here, by the way,
what Eric should have been in the same shirt. Yes,
it's just everybody, but Jack essentially is wearing that shirt.
It's just you and I look at each other.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
And nice shirt.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Sure so, Sean, now in a British accent, says, and
the honesty game just Scott a little more interesting. Interesting.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Jack has not paid attention to anything since Rachel told
him the truth. He asks Sean, do you think I'm
too passive? Sean doesn't hear him what Jack immediately says.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Nothing looks.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
This is great, the best joke in the whole.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
It's so funny.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
I don't think his fist pump is my favorite thing.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
Everything he does, everything storyline is so stole, funny, character driven.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
It's agreed, agreed.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:00):
Rachel shakes Dana's hand. Hi, I'm Rachel. It's so nice
to meet you. Would you excuse me for just one second?
Eric surveys the room and eventually gets to Tapanga. He
uncontrollably starts to laugh and point to her hair. He
even hugs his brother in happiness at the site. Now
in the kitchen with Jack, Rachel is upset. Jack asks
what's wrong, and she passionately explains, I have seven cornish hens,

(50:21):
seven baked potatoes, and seven parfays, and there are eight
people here. Jack calmly states, Ah, okay, I'll leave for
Rachel happily tells him sit down nearby. Sean starts to
tell Eric they're playing a truth game to promote honesty
and relationships. Eric nods his head honesty excellent, excellent, It's
what they teach us in law school. He again nods

(50:43):
towards Dana, so his friends go along with yet another lie.
Topanga can't believe him, but moves forward with the game.
All right, let's see who's next.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
She reads the card.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
Sean, if you could spend one night with anyone no
strings attached, who would it be? With Angela, pacing behind him,
looks interested in this answer. Sean clarifies anyone in the
world no strings and to Pega says, yep, be honest.
Sean answers, then then I'd pick Angela. Everyone at the

(51:14):
party and in the studio audience.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
Begins, Sean, what are you taught? Like? What are you doing? Literally,
no one else in the world you could mention at
this point, uh huh.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
Everyone at the party and in the studio would get
ooohing and awing at that one. To Panga, happy with
her game playing, wants to know what Angela thinks about that.
Angela wants clarification from Sean. So, with no strings, no commitment,
no emotional attachment, you'd pick me. And I thought this
was going to well, then you can go f yourself.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Yeah, I thought you was gonna smack them. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
I was like, wait a minute, that you would probably
already know that, because the reason you're not together is
because he didn't want a commitment.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
Why are you happy about this news anyway? Sean answers, yeah,
what do you say to that? And Angela responds, then
let's do it. Then the inmates go absolutely batcockack crazy.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
I did too. I was like, what the way? What? What?
I didn't remember this at all.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
Corey creeps up behind Sean and whispers it's a trap,
and then they go to a commercial break back at
Jack and Rachel's dinner party. Angela eggshan on, So come on, Sean,
let's go. Sean a little taken aback, asks now, and
Angela is determined.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Now.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
She grabs Sean's hand and Sean exclaims.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
And they go back to their dorm room where it's
appropriate to spend night together. Correct, correct, I'm just gonna
hang out at the dinner party.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Well, yeah, because you smosh and then you got the
cornish came hends. Oh my gosh, cod potatoes so disgusting.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
What's the problem. And no, by the way, you go
to like their.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
Bedroom, that's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Just but I mean like there's not even like kind
of seeing the world of like eighteen year old.

Speaker 3 (53:07):
Mindset that this makes sense. But then you make a
thing out of it, like, hey guys, we got a
room for you right now, you know, like like it's
almost like a seven minutes in Heaven kind of jokey
thing where it's like you, guys, we're gonna time you
and you have an hour, no strings attached, and then
it's like a then it's part of the.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Way and go to my office, right But.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Instead it's like we're gonna go spend the night and
no strings attach it and we'll just on your bed stands.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Just do that.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
They start to head up the stairs, but Corey blocks
them by jumping over the railing. Hello, he asks, when
YouTube broke up, who was the one that spent every
minute of every day trying to get YouTube back together?

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Sean answers, you, darling, what's the deal with the darlings.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
They've done this a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Now, I know, why does Michael think that's funny? I know,
but why why does Michael think it's funny.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
It's a reference to I think, like Nol Coward comedies
from the nineteen thirties.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Which all kids love.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
Yeah, it's it's a theater thing. It's like, it's like
old dinner theater, like yeah, like they used to use
those kinds of even the fact that I did an
English accent when I'm like and then it just got
a little more interesting. I think Michael was like he
loved those kinds of comedies, like plays theater that were like,
you know, oh miss first first exactly, and that's what

(54:29):
that era, that's what they talked like. And so I
think he just thinks it's funny to reference that.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
Yeah, I mean Ben is basically doing a Michael Jacob's
impression this entire episode.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Yeah, yes, yeah, he really is. Yeah it's big too.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
And Corey continues, and who was the one who spent
every second trying to make you to realize that you
belong together? Angela now answers you, darling. Then Corey asks,
so why are you going to do something very strange
in the bedroom when I have absolutely nothing to do
with it, Angela explains, no drings Corey, and Corey doesn't
get it. He's disturbed. As Angela pushes him aside for

(55:04):
the bedroom. Sean follows her and gets a few taps
of encouragement from Eric along the way. Once they're gone, Sean.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
Turns to Smart actually like, don't touch me.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Yeah, you were like, I'm gonna gig And I was.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Like, don't you, mister. Once they're gone, Eric turns to
his date and asks, so, Dana, what's your feeling about
this whole stringless relationship? You know, no commitments, no emotional attachment.
Still you get to huh huh, you know what I'm saying.
And I want you to remember everybody's being honest tonight.
Dana shrugs, Well, I just met you. All I know

(55:40):
about you is that you're a single father working his
way through law school who just got back from the
No flyes on any Rock. Eric nods his head proudly
to Panga. Can't help but laugh. Ah, she goes out
with you. She deserves what she gets, does she what?

Speaker 3 (55:57):
I know, Penga, not at all?

Speaker 1 (56:00):
What?

Speaker 3 (56:01):
Yeah, And it doesn't why are we like we know
nothing about her. We haven't established like you could have
easily established that she's kind of dumb or easily very
gullible in a way that would make to Panga be like,
you know, she deserves it because she's I don't.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Know what, but.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
It's like, oh, yeah, she's she's just a bad person
or something. But instead it's like this poor woman has
no idea what's going on, clue, and she's.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
Just met a guy she thinks is was in the service,
who's a single father and going to be a lawyer,
and she's interested and he's good looking, and I'm like, well,
she deserves you to be lying to her. What what
to Panga? Come on, girl, that's.

Speaker 4 (56:44):
Yeah, no, no, no, Eric responds, that's right baby. Rachel
grabs the hat. Okay, let's get back to the game.
Who's next? Jack and erupts are still concerned. I'm not passive,
I'm just nice. Corey is also not moving on. He
points to the bedroom.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Excuse me, but does anybody care about what's going on
up there?

Speaker 4 (57:04):
Eric jumps in and dramatically exclaims I have something to say.
He then opens the oven and yells, these are not
tater tots. Rachel runs over to the microwave Eric.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
They're right here.

Speaker 4 (57:14):
Eric laughs and nods and excitement. Then Jack blurts out,
you leave hair in the shower. He throws his fists
up proudly and points it at Rachel.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
You leave hair. It bothers me. That's right, your hair
in the shower, clogging up the drain. It bothers me. Yeah, you,
Rachel wonders, Wait a.

Speaker 4 (57:33):
Second, you've been sitting there and stewing for twenty minutes
and that's all you came up with.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
I defeated. Jack says, leave me alone and sits back down.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Of course, to microwave the tater tots? Did she I'm
gonna say no, that she cooked them and took.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Them out of the keep them.

Speaker 4 (57:49):
Yeah, and if not keeping them warm, just to have
them off the counter. They're like tucked away in there
because she had to use the oven for the cornish game.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
And that's okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
That's people are stipping in the bedroom.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Well, I have no problem with that, but my tot's
got to be crispy, and that is not a euphemism.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
Well, Jensen will microwave ta ketos, okay, frozen taketos in
the microwave.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Well, I mean, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do,
but not tots.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
Different also need to be crispy.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
I would just say, gals can.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Just be warm? Do you like all of those? No,
you don't. We'll figure out.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
But maybe we need to get him a station wagon.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
Maybe I would just say no microwave.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Listen, soup.

Speaker 4 (58:34):
If you got soup, you're telling me you can't reheat
super a cup of coffee in a microwave.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
Have you had reheated coffee from a microwave or reheated soup?
It like take It has that weird lukewarm quality. It
takes forever. No, takes forever, forever, press.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
But forever, but you're eating it. Press a button.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
In a minute and thirty seconds, you're eating hot soup.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
Exactly. All my microwaves have also been crotch level. Another
reason I don't have kids.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
Oh mine is too in this house.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Corey continues with his tirade. You all know what they're
doing up there, don't you. There he's interrupted by Rachel,
who has picked his name out of the hat. She asks,
if you could change one thing about Topanga, what would
it be? Corey thinks about this, what would it be?

Speaker 2 (59:26):
What would it be?

Speaker 4 (59:27):
He's at a loss. He's at the bedroom that Angela
and Shan are in and asks again, what would it be?
Tapanga beats him to the punch. Corey make here, We're
going to be virgins for the rest of our lives joke,
and then we can all move on. Corey corrects her,
it actually changed your need to be perfect all the time.
Topanga seems offended. What Corey continues, Oh yeah, I uh,
I think you need to relax, lighten.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
Up a bit.

Speaker 4 (59:49):
Before she can respond, he looks at the bedroom again. Geez,
they've been up there a long time. Topanga is aghast.
I don't need to be perfect. Corey says, Oh, come
on to Panga. From nursery school to college, you always
had to be the best at everything to Penga wonders, really, then,
why didn't I go to Yale?

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Corey? Why am I here at Penbrook with you? Why
is she so mad about this?

Speaker 4 (01:00:15):
Like when he says that, I can see how if
she has a counter argument, I could see her being like, Wow,
I don't feel like I always have to be perfect, Like,
give me some examples, and he does nursery school, you
always have to have the best grades.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
And she's like, yeah, okay, I mean, but I can
decide to let it go when it's really important to me,
like I didn't go to Yale.

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
You know, like they wrote it, and as if she's
been holding onto this for a while, just waiting to
be able to use.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
It exactly, and that she doesn't feel like there's some
sort of credit she wants for it that she's not getting.
So yeah, I didn't appreciate this for her either, because
I don't for once. By the way, the honest thing
he said, he didn't say in a mean way.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
No, he actually so legitimate criticism.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Yeah, so I don't. Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:01:14):
Now Corey is shocked what Rachel tries to change the subject. Okay,
ha ha, game's over. Who's hungry for hen? And I
think that's where she picks up the hens right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
For holding them. She's just hold them right from the oven.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Corey isn't fazed. I knew it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
You resent the fact that you gave up Yale for
me to Pega explains, I gave up Yale for us.
I was just trying to show you you were wrong okay,
Corey says, well, maybe you should have gone then, yeah,
maybe the time of part would have been good for us.
To Panga, now, very upset, says, in what way, maybe
we wouldn't be engaged? Corey asks, why do you have
to take it to that level? To Panga turns around Rachel.

(01:01:51):
Rachel is now hovering in the kitchen. Oh no, holding
two hens in her hands. Thank you for everything. I'm
gonna be leaving now, Corey stops. Or wait a minute,
you started this whole honesty thing. You can't leave to
Panga darism watch me. Once she walks out of the doors,
Corey looks at his shocked friends, then to the bedroom.
I can't believe they're still up there. Corey then follows

(01:02:12):
to Pang out the front door. Rachel cries out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Oh, Jack, I just wanted to have my first grown
up dinner party with my cornish hens.

Speaker 4 (01:02:20):
Eric adds and tater tots while pumping his fist in
the air. Rachel admits, in defeat, my party is sucking.
Jack tries to comfort her. No, come on, it's just
your first one. Next time, we won't invite these people.
Rachel says, well, I guess we could invite some of them.
I mean, Eric seems to be doing pretty well with
his date, and then on the couch, Dana says to Eric,

(01:02:40):
I love shamou.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
How do you train him to do all those tricks?
Eric answers, it's a difficult task, but the key is
to start small. Hit stay, eat Pinocchio?

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
What does he eat Pinocchio? Because because in Pinocchio he's right,
So it's a it's a whole uh, jonathing gotcha.

Speaker 4 (01:03:02):
In the kitchen, Rachel continues telling Jack, you know what,
everything was going fine until I thought of that stupid
honesty game. Jack reminds her, No, no, that's not true, honey.
This party would have been bad no matter what happened.

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
Rachel as not a game.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
It's not a game, Rachel. No, just talking to people,
just talking to people, asking them questions, and then I'm
answering the questions you're asking, not Rachel.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
Rachel is relieved.

Speaker 4 (01:03:24):
I mean, she sets up that the game is actually
trying to think of questions that will make people uncomfortable,
which I guess is a little.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
More of a game.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
A game.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
Uncomfortable question.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
What makes what makes a game?

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
Well, what's the rules? Something some kind of something a
goal exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:03:50):
Jack apologizes, and then they kiss, getting an ooh from
the most vocal audience that has ever existed. And now
we're in the bedroom. Sean is on top of Angela
making out with some mood music playing in the background.
He stops to say, this is the greatest night of
my life. You guys have been back there all this time,
so much so. Corey's made a huge joke of it
multiple times. And me is still up and you're fully clothed, and.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
Well, I mean, what you couldn't come She's on all fours,
he's behind her. I mean, what what can you come
back doing? You know what I mean. It's still at
the end of the day. You can't really come back
with anything other than they're kissing on the bed.

Speaker 4 (01:04:28):
Sure, I guess, although couldn't you have them under the
sheets and their shirts are off?

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
No way? In fact, I'd never allow that, would they.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
I mean I don't because they're there.

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
We can't even be on top of each other, like
you see your legs, right, it's like this weird. Yeah,
I don't. I mean, it's all just so weird.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
I couldn't, I know, it's so weird.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
I'm so uncomfortable for myself watching myself do this.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
Like we didn't even ask did either of you remember
this episode?

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
I didn't. I mean, I remember the hair, that's the
only thing I remember.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
I remember the Batman joke, but I don't remember the
episode at all.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
I think there were bits that I remember a little bit,
but no, in general, I feel like I was pretty
checked out.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:05:11):
So he says, this is the greatest night of my life,
and Angela says, don't talk, and they go back to kissing.
Sean pulls away again. No one understands this but us.
Angela repeats herself quiet and they returned to the session.
And then Sean pulls away for a third time. That
you're going to hook up without having any strings attacking?

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Oh, strings attach? That you can actually do it?

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (01:05:31):
And then Sean pulls away for a third time. I
forgot how well we fit together. Angela says, through gritted teeth,
I'm asking you to shut up, and she pulls him
in to continue kissing. Back in the elevator, I guess
Topanga waited for him.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Well, it took the same car, Okay. I imagine.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
If I'm leaving a dinner party. It's because I don't
want to be around you, not because I want us
to leave together. I don't want to have had the sir. Sure, maybe,
and there's no uber back then no back.

Speaker 4 (01:06:03):
In the elevator, Corey and a visibly upset to Panga
stands shoulder to shoulder, not talking. Corey presses the button
to stop the elevator, and then Tapanga presses it again
to keep it moving. Corey stops the elevator again, and
Topanga reverses it again, and Corey does it a third time.
Topanga has had enough. What do you want from me?
Corey explains, I want to understand what's bothering you. Topanga answers,

(01:06:23):
I thought you wanted to spend some time apart, Corey.
Corey siys Topanga, that's not what I meant, and you
know it. Tapanga asks, but there is a part of
you that wonders what it would be like to spend
a year apart. Corey wonders honesty, and Topanga says please.
Corey starts, Yes, there's a part of me that wonders
what it would be like. But there's another part, a
much bigger part, that knows I would be miserable without you.

(01:06:46):
Now I need to know, are you sorry you gave
up Yale? Wouldn't it make more sense.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
For this situation to actually be that?

Speaker 4 (01:06:54):
Now Topanga breaks Corey's heart in the honesty game by
it coming out that a Panga has had thoughts about
whether or not giving up Yale was the right decision,
and and it's actually Corey who gets devastated by the honesty.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
Yes, that would make sense. Yes, yes, it backfires that
he wants honesty between them and he's and then oh no,
he can't handle the honesty thrown back at him.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
You can dish it, but you can't take it out.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
Yeah, that would have been a much simpler.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
Take it back. You can dish it, but you can't
take it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
You can dish it out, but you can't take it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
Thank you. That's what I was trying to say. You
can make a dish, but you can't eat it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:31):
Right, it's gotta be your dish.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
You can have your cake and you can also have
a pie.

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
What I was talking about exactly what?

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
But this I liked. This is the scene that I liked.
I liked them talking in the elevator, and I feel
like if it started with them going to the dinner
party having a fight. He hits the button, she hits
it back. He hits the button, she hits back, and
then the elevator breaks and now they're stuck there for
two scenes and we keep cutting back to this conversation
between the two of them that gets more and more honest.

Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
That to me is interesting, which also makes total sense
what Danielle said, like that they go into this night
thinking absolutely, I can be honest and mean. She's honest
and not even trying to be mean, and he's like
I'm leaving this dinner party, yes, and she's chasing him down,
being like why can't you take it? And then you
have a heart to heart and yes, it's so works,
so many layers of twisting and characters in your.

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
Reaer sad they've just made to Panga this person who's
constantly devastated by the idea that Corey has any sort
of life outside of her, which is not who Topanga
is and not what the relationship Corey and Topanga have
ever had up until this engagement.

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
Yeah, it's been like three episodes now where they just
flopped characters. Yes, just so like why who.

Speaker 4 (01:08:52):
Is it truly that we have just other than Michael.
I mean, I guess she is Sherman gone at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
Like, yeah, Sherman's gone.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
Do we just have such time that all the people
who knew who Tapega's roots were and knew kind of
where this started.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
There's just too many new voices, aren't.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
There also more women in the room now than there
were when Tapanga came on the show.

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
Yes, definitely more women, but not necessarily people who knew
who Tapanga was, so they're certainly not necessarily used to
writing against stereotype.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Right, I don't know, okay.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
Tapenga says, giving up Yale was the hardest thing I've
ever had to do, but of course I would have
been miserable without you two. She puts her arms out
for a hug and they have a long embrace. Topanga adds,
I just want to be able to use your razor.
Corey is grossed out and pulls away. I already told
you black. The hug is over quickly, as Tapanga explains,
I don't want.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
You to react like that.

Speaker 4 (01:09:51):
Corey asks, So that's what this is about, isn't it.
Tapega says, The relationship that I want is not two
individuals who live under the same roof.

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
I want us together. What's mine is yours, and what's
yours is mine. If you're going to react like that
over a razor, how are you going to react when
I use your toothbrush?

Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
Corey reveals not well. And then we're back in the bedroom.
Sean and Angela are still making out on the bed.
Sean can't help himself and starts talking, but Angela tells
him not to. Sean pulls away and says I miss you.
Angela tells him don't, but Sean leans in any way
and says, Angela, I love you. Then Angela violently shoves

(01:10:28):
him off the bed and onto the floor. Sean yells out,
oh my keys. Angela admits I knew you couldn't do it. Now, recovering,
Sean asks, oh, man, HI corried this up, didn't I?
Angela laughs he had to go and get heavy, Sean,
didn't you? Sean climbs back up on the bed. No,
I'm not getting heavy, Angela. I just think that an
emotional commitment is a proper foundation for Oh my god,

(01:10:50):
I'm both of them. And then we're in the stopped elevator.
Corey and Tepanga are now sitting on the floor. Corey says,
if we're really being honest, then I think what you
need is some imaginary perfect relationship. You know, this is
just you going after perfection again. Tapega tells him, no, Corey,
this is me realizing that we're going to be sharing
the rest of our lives together and wondering why you
can't even share a razor or a toothbrush. Corey ramps up, Okay,

(01:11:14):
you want real honesty to Panga, can you handle real honesty?
To Panga matches his intensity. I just want to know
what it's going to take to share your toothbrush. Corey
finally gets honest. The truth is I could never share
any of my personal items with someone who won't even
show me her tushy. No tushy, no brushy. After a
few seconds of silence, to Panga states, I think that's fair.

(01:11:36):
Corey is ready to detail his argument, but then realizes
what she said.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
What are you guys following along with this logic?

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
No, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
I was watching a family matters in my mind.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
So Corey would be fine if he gets some right, But.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
I also going back, I also don't get what Angela's
doing so did she just want to hook up no
strings attached?

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
I think she was testing Sean, right, So that was
the so she.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
Wouldn't have gone through with it, had Sean gone through
with it, because she said I knew it, Like she's
trying to shut him up the whole time. Yeah, but
then she's like I knew it and pushes him off.
So I think, did she just want to sleep with them?

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
I think the implication is because Sean made this like, well,
I'd sleep with Angela like no strings attached, and she's
basically saying, yes, actually love me and you're just scared
a commitment, and so when so she knows that it'll
never happen exactly, but she keeps.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
Trying to shut him up and pushing him back, pulling
them back in and shutting them up and pulling. They
didn't write it like it was they were doing that.
They wrote it like she's just trying to elate.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:12:46):
Yeah, I mean, well, that's the thing is that it's
playing as both she doesn't think he can actually go
through with it, but if he can, she's happy. That's
how I that's how I was taking it that suddenly
she was like Oh wait a minute.

Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
You know you wouldn't she be happy that he's in
love with her and that he that's what is.

Speaker 4 (01:13:04):
Out of character about this episode, and she would as
a character, she should actually be offended that they ask
you anyone in the world as long as you don't
have to be committed to them, And you say me, like,
how how rude could you possibly get? You know, I
love you, you, we were in a relationship. You've said

(01:13:26):
you loved me. Why why would you pick me? Why
not pick a famous person?

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
But she just let her grab his butt in the beginning.
Make this to it's like to imply that she just
she can do it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
She can do it even if she has feelings for him.
I can hook up with you and not you can
be a piece of meat to me if.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
I decide it's a power move. Maybe it's a way
she's taking some of the power back where it's like,
I'll just bang you. That's fine with me, it's on
my terms.

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
Yeah, I'm fine with that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
So yeah, But but it's not rooted in what we
know about them.

Speaker 4 (01:14:01):
What we know about them is that they love each
other and they want to be in a relationship.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
But he is scared and she is tired of waiting. Right.

Speaker 4 (01:14:12):
Angela and Sewn exit the bedroom, and Angela thanks Rachel
for a really good time. Rachel focuses on a piece
of broccoli and slyly says, you're welcome, come back soon.
And then Corey and too Panga re enter and Corey
has a huge smile on his face. He looks to
the sky and yells, I have seen the promised land.
Ta Pega raises her hand and embarrassingly admits I showed

(01:14:32):
him my butt. Sean is enraged, you too make my
life a living hell. Then he and Angela walk out
the front door. Corey is unaffected. Haha, great party, Rachel,
and to Panga ads we're having a great time. Rachel
seems surprised. Really wow, I thought that whole honesty game
might have ruined the evening. Corey reveals, on the contrary,
honesty is the only way to go for a healthy relationship.

(01:14:54):
If you noticed, only the honest couples are left here.
Eric and Dana are still on the couch and Eric explain, Yeah,
the bullet hurt, but I saved the President's life, so
I think it was worth it. Corey tells Rachel Eric
doesn't count. Eric gets even more serious. He looks around the.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
Room and then admits, and I'm Batman. Can we hear
you say it?

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Will? I'm Batman.

Speaker 4 (01:15:20):
We get a little superhero like music as the meta
joke leads up to the tag, where we are back
in the co ed's school bathroom, right where we started Love.

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
Of It, Love It a New Awesome Settlert.

Speaker 4 (01:15:33):
Topega's at the sink fixing her hair when Corey walks
over in a towel and a robe. He grabs her
deodorant and starts using it on his armpits. Tapega is shocked,
what are you doing, and Corey responds, Oh, I left
mine in my gym bag.

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
You know this sharing stuff is great. Thanks.

Speaker 4 (01:15:47):
Tapega looks at the deodorant and is disgusted. Black there's
a hair on it. Corey notices it too. Oh yeah,
look it's one of my boys. I can tell because
it's kinky like me.

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
Here you go.

Speaker 4 (01:15:58):
He hands the deodorant back to Tapanga and she you
are a disgusting little man. As Corey walks out, he agrees, yes, I.

Speaker 3 (01:16:05):
Am makes no sense. I know she's grossed out by
a hair. She was literally shaving hairs.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Yeah, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
I don't like hair on deodorant either, though, for the record,
that's disgusting.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
But you can share a toothbrush.

Speaker 4 (01:16:20):
Sh I wouldn't say that I do, but I have.
I think one time in my life I have borrowed
Jensen's toothbrush.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
And that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
It's gross.

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
I'll never look at you the same again. Ever, that
bright white smile hides lies.

Speaker 4 (01:16:49):
Then Angela enters, with Sean following close behind. She asks him,
why are you following me? You had your chance, babe,
and annoyed, Sean explains, I'm not following you. I couldn't
care less about you. You mean nothing to me, less
than nothing. After a quick pause, Angela grabs Sean and
pins him down on the bathroom bench. She passionately kisses
him and then pulls away. Sean proudly says, nothing, not

(01:17:09):
a thing. Angela pets his face. Okay, good for you,
and then she gets up and walks out. Sean gets
up and walks over to Tapanga. After a few seconds,
heels cold shower now then he runs into a stall completely.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
Clothed, thus ending the horniest episode of Boy Meets World.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
Maybe ever, Yeah, the only thing would have made it
better is just another stall opens and Phil leads walks out.
Would have been it just.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
Been gnashing on him, breas, how the kids doing?

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
How you doing? Toothbrush?

Speaker 4 (01:17:44):
Join us for our next episode recap, which will be
season six, episode twenty one, the Psychotic episode.

Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
Oh yeah, what is that what it's called?

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
Yeah? Yeah, this is you remember this rider?

Speaker 3 (01:17:56):
Yeah, it's Carlos's episode. It's another like kind of like
our Hall episode or like the screen episode, what surreal
dream Corey's killing people episode.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
I don't know, we did another people.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
There's like a it's like an elevator sequence in the
beginning where like yeah, and it like keeps you keep
waking up thinking it's I don't know, we'll see I'm
not okay.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
