A bride-to-be arrives from Russia with a suitcase full of hope and lands in the most Niagara moment imaginable: Fountains of Love, a canceled ceremony, and a groom who’s actually thirteen with a Photoshop habit. We dig into the chaos of Wonderfalls “Lovesick Ass,” tracing how a catfish detonates more than a wedding plan and forces everyone—Jaye, Eric, and a grief-numbed dad—to decide what love looks like when your compass is spinning.
We talk through Jaye’s tug-of-war with intimacy and why Eric finally feels like more than the “lovesick” label. From the rooftop satellite install to donuts shared with a stranger, his quiet competence turns into a steady presence, culminating in a cabin standoff, a clean disarm, and a first kiss that actually feels earned. Along the way, we question the muses’ near-silence—were they nudging Jaye toward risk, Katya toward closure, or just stirring trouble? The humor still hits: the wax lion’s “This isn’t fun for anybody,” the lovesick donkey’s blunt advice, and a flaming car that punctuates denial with a literal boom.
Not every beat works. A sudden punch from Peter’s father strains character logic, and the finale pairing of Katya with Dick Johnson reads more like a writer’s shortcut than a believable connection, even with those recycled love letters. We call out the odd edits, celebrate the sharp lines, and land on what keeps this story compelling: small choices that build trust, boundaries that teach, and attraction that demands clarity. If you love character-driven TV analysis, messy romance arcs, and a little snark with your sentiment, you’ll feel right at home here.

I don't know.
Let's take a look.
SPEAKER_03 (02:20):
I know I looked when I first watched it and I don't
remember anything, so probablynot, but let's see.
SPEAKER_00 (02:27):

decided to go to college and bea normal, normal kid.
SPEAKER_03 (02:33):
So he is now 33 if you want to feel old.
Wow.
Um, he acted until it looks likehe's doing voice work now.
SPEAKER_00 (02:46):
Oh, good for him.
Um got a face for radio.
SPEAKER_03 (02:50):
Yeah, and that he's done like some movies, but
nothing that you would have everheard of.

SPEAKER_00 (03:02):
All right.
And that's isn't everybody isn'teverybody co-hosting a podcast

anything anyone would have everheard of.
SPEAKER_00 (03:17):
Oh, good for him.
As long as he's enjoyinghimself.
Yeah.
That's all that matters.
SPEAKER_03 (03:21):
Well, as long as he can pay his rent because, you
know, eating is fun.
SPEAKER_00 (03:25):
Eating is fundamental.
SPEAKER_03 (03:27):
He apparently played Curtis the Elf in the Santa
Claus.
Did he?
And the Santa Claus II.
I don't know if the Santa ClausII is in there.
SPEAKER_00 (03:39):
That reminds me of the kid from uh Christmas story.
He played the one elf in uh inelf.
SPEAKER_03 (03:45):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (03:46):
Yeah.
I mean, they're just child,child stars.
SPEAKER_03 (03:51):
So Spencer, playing elves, as I suspected, did not
quite have the career of hissister.
SPEAKER_00 (03:57):
That's okay.
We still like him.
What whatever he chose to dowith his life is is he's
probably got like a regular job,I would guess.
unknown (04:07):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_00 (04:08):
Or does he do a ton of voice work?
SPEAKER_03 (04:10):
He might be producing too.
SPEAKER_00 (04:11):
Oh.
He went the producing route.
SPEAKER_03 (04:14):
Although when I see him as a very young kid, I
recognize him.
SPEAKER_00 (04:19):
Oh, sure.
Yeah, he's one of the like, hey,that's that kid.
Mm-hmm.
I recognize him.
Nice.
Anyone else?
SPEAKER_03 (04:28):
Who I guess that was that was the only other I mean
uh they didn't really name whothe woman who played Katya was.
SPEAKER_00 (04:34):
They didn't name her?
SPEAKER_03 (04:35):
Well, I mean they named her somewhere, but I
didn't see it as anythinginteresting.
I think I actually looked her upand I think she was actually a
Russian actress.
SPEAKER_00 (04:43):
Fascinating.
SPEAKER_03 (04:44):
Which is funny because I didn't find the accent
all that convincing.
SPEAKER_01 (04:49):
You go to Russia.
I go Russia.
SPEAKER_00 (04:54):
Or it could be, you know, Natalie from 90 Day.
But anyway.
SPEAKER_03 (05:02):
You're stealing one of my things for later.
SPEAKER_00 (05:05):
Sorry.
SPEAKER_03 (05:06):
Uh I'm looking it up to see if I can find her now.
SPEAKER_00 (05:09):
Okay.
Anyway, while you do that, let'stalk about the synopsis of the
episode.
SPEAKER_03 (05:18):
Okay.
SPEAKER_00 (05:19):
So we we it starts on Katya.
We don't know what's Katya.
Sitting outside.
The the kind of what do you callthat?
The patio area outside ofWonderfalls gift shop.
SPEAKER_03 (05:40):
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Whatever that the fountain area.
SPEAKER_00 (05:44):
Fountain area.
Um sure there's a technical termfor that.
Um, she's sitting out therewatching all these couples in
love and you know, eagerlyawaiting like her.
She's obviously waiting forwaiting for somebody.
And we find out later that sheis waiting for someone named
(06:07):
Peter, her supposed fiance thatshe met online.
SPEAKER_01 (06:11):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (06:12):
And Jay and Eric decide to help Katya find Peter.
Because Peter's basically stoodher, stood her up.
Well, because they they theyrealize that she's gonna go to
the what?
The fountain.
Is it what fountains of love?
Mm-hmm.
Which is the Mahondra tells themis the the name of a wedding
(06:35):
chapel.
Wedding chapel.
So they go down to Fountains ofLove, find out that the wedding
was canceled, and um someshenanigans ensue, and Eric
basically has a panic attack,passes out, and Jay steals the
(06:58):
record entry from the logbookand hightails it out of there.
SPEAKER_02 (07:03):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (07:04):
And we find out that Peter is actually a 13-year-old
boy, just about to be just onthe cusp of 14.
SPEAKER_03 (07:11):
Which makes it so much better.
SPEAKER_00 (07:12):
Or 40.
Um, because he he aged himselfwith the with Photoshop or
something.
Uh and so yeah, Katya's tryingto deal with all that.
Jay and Eric are are theirrelationship grows closer, and
Jay threatens Peter to stay awayfrom Katya, and Peter apparently
(07:39):
likes a very strong, strongwoman because this now changes
his attraction from Katya toJay.
And there's a whole thing aboutshe thinks that Jay and Eric are
together, that they're boyfriendand girlfriend, so he's trying
to break them up to um steal Jayfor himself.
(08:00):
Right.
Um lots to lots to unpack there.
So that's the that's the briefhighlights.

All right.
Deep dive.
Let's do the deep dive.
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (08:25):
Okay.
So we start out with Eric on topof uh Jay's mobile home
installing a satellite dish.
SPEAKER_00 (08:34):
Hot Eric.
SPEAKER_03 (08:35):
Yeah, while Jay and Mahandra are sitting in chairs
on the ground just gawking.
SPEAKER_00 (08:41):

piece of man meat.
SPEAKER_03 (08:50):
Like, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (08:50):
My God.
SPEAKER_03 (08:51):
But then she's also talking about how, oh, it's not
a time for me, good time for meto get into a relationship.
But like obviously everything isdrawing her to Eric.
SPEAKER_00 (08:59):
Of course.
SPEAKER_03 (09:02):
Um, this is, and I know we'll get to favorite
moments, but I'm just gonna sayvery quickly my favorite moment
is the wax lion in the bookend.
unknown (09:11):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (09:12):
Inappropriate touching.
SPEAKER_00 (09:15):
Well, because I I take it one further than that.
Okay.
So, because that's what so thethe monkey goes, inappropriate
touching, yeah, and then thelion goes, This isn't fun for
anybody.
SPEAKER_04 (09:26):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (09:27):
So good.
So good.
SPEAKER_00 (09:32):
It's it's it's I mean, because there's is this
the episode where there's reallynot much of the muses in it,
right?
Because you mentioned that.
SPEAKER_03 (09:40):
Um, yeah, so you have them, so you have the wax
lion in the bookend for like avery brief time.
Right.
And then um when she finallysees, and we can keep going, um
basically Jay finds sorry, backup.
(10:02):
Yes.
Oh, did we just you just rewoundthat, huh?
That was that was good to dothat.
I rewound that for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Um so the next day at work,barrel bear and lovesick ass,
and this is really the only timewe see them, right?
Uh tell her that girl needs aboy.
Yes.
And then that's when Jay goesoutside and finds Eric giving
(10:22):
donuts to who we find out isKatya, right, who's at the
fountain.
She's here from Russia.
She came here to meet a man.
She was stood up.
SPEAKER_00 (10:32):
Well, doesn't the lovesick ass also say eat a
donut?
SPEAKER_03 (10:35):
Oh, yeah, he does.
SPEAKER_00 (10:36):
He says something about like go eat a donut.
SPEAKER_03 (10:38):
When she's in the yeah, when she's in the the like
coffee room or whatever.
SPEAKER_00 (10:42):
Yeah.
Yeah, so they yeah, so they talkabout going to go and eat a
donut as well.
Yeah, and then cut to cut to theoutside when Jay sees Eric with
Katya and eating donuts.
Eating donuts.
SPEAKER_03 (10:59):
Which he was bringing to Jay.
SPEAKER_00 (11:00):
Yes, he was to his credit, which was very nice of
him.
SPEAKER_03 (11:05):
But he saw someone who was hungry and and he sees
Jay as this very magnanimousgiving person because she does
the bidding of the muses.
Right.
So I'm sure he thinks he's justdoing what Jay would do.
Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure Jayjust wants that box of donuts.
SPEAKER_00 (11:22):
I think she does.
At least a donut.
I don't know if she wants thewhole box of donuts.
I mean, who am I to judge?
I'd eat the whole box of donuts.
SPEAKER_03 (11:31):
Yeah, right.
Fight you for them.
SPEAKER_00 (11:34):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_03 (11:35):
Um, so we kind of talked about this at the top,
but they go to the weddingchapel to try to find out what
happened.
Eric passes out.
All of this just kind ofreinforces Jay's concern about
getting into a relationship,even though they're attracted to
each other.
SPEAKER_01 (11:53):
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (11:53):
Um, they find the address, show up at the house,
find out Peter is a 12-year-oldor 13-year-old, I guess.
Yeah.
Yep.
Um, Katya's really mad.
And she's staying with Jay nowbecause there's nowhere else for
her to go.
Correct.
Um, we talked about then Peterdevelops a crush on Jay.
SPEAKER_00 (12:14):
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (12:15):
Uh Jay tries taking Peter to his dad, but Peter gets
pissed off, and then the dad isjust a total dick.
And that's pretty funny becausehis name is Dick.
SPEAKER_00 (12:27):
His name is Dick.
Dick Johnson.
SPEAKER_03 (12:29):
Big Dick Johnson.
SPEAKER_00 (12:30):
Of all names.
Well, Peter Johnson and DickJohnson.
SPEAKER_03 (12:33):
I'm like, this is This is what happens when four
people write an episode.
Wow.
unknown (12:38):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (12:38):
So there was well, well, there was also a whole
thing when Eric got punched bythe father.
SPEAKER_03 (12:44):
Oh, yeah, that's right.
So there's a father has um someanger issues, which we later
learn are because the his wifedied.
SPEAKER_00 (12:53):
Well, that like that's the whole thing.
Like, he doesn't, that's one ofthe things that so we talk about
things that worked and didn'twork in this episode.
The whole thing about himpunching Eric doesn't work for
me.
SPEAKER_03 (13:04):
No, me.
SPEAKER_00 (13:04):
Because he does not he does not come off as a
violent guy.
He comes off as a guy who'sdoing his best because his wife
passed away.
SPEAKER_03 (13:14):
He's stuck with this kid who's kind of difficult.
Well, he's a teenager.
I mean he's a teenager who losthis mom.
SPEAKER_00 (13:22):
He's a teenager who lost his mom, and the dad is
struggling with with how to howto be both parents to the kid.
So like I don't I didn't Ididn't find the him punching
Eric.
SPEAKER_02 (13:34):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (13:34):
Like I did, I just didn't that didn't that didn't
work for me.

Gosby.
SPEAKER_01 (21:07):
Oh boy.
SPEAKER_00 (21:10):
I know I'm in trouble.
I just got canceled.
SPEAKER_03 (21:15):
I mean, we already talked about Chris Dalia, so
we're hitting all the highlightstoday.
SPEAKER_00 (21:20):
Okay, so anyway, we have an episode to talk about.
So it was this whole kind ofangsty kind of um is Eric
interested in Katya?
And because Jay's like, Jay isactually kind of, I think,
getting jealous.
SPEAKER_03 (21:36):
She absolutely is.
SPEAKER_00 (21:38):
And then she's like, she's like, well, like, are you
into her?
He's like, if I were into her,why would I be helping her find
her husband, like find herfiance?
Right.
And then afterward, then she'slike, she's still jealous.
And she's like, she's like,well, why are you interested in
her?
(21:58):
He's like, or why are youinterested in her now?
She's like, well and he's like,well, because she's not engaged
anymore.
She's single.
So he's like, you know, like,what do you care?
SPEAKER_03 (22:07):
It's like, well, because she's been very
standoffish.
SPEAKER_00 (22:13):
Aloof?
SPEAKER_03 (22:14):
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (22:14):
Yes.
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_03 (22:16):
Both of those things.
SPEAKER_00 (22:17):
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (22:18):
Both standoffish and aloof.
SPEAKER_00 (22:20):
Aloofish.
Aloofish.
Back to fish.
See, we're back to aloofish.
Like it's another type of fish.
Yeah.
Um.
All the cuisines.
The cuisines of the world.
The aloofish, the fish andjelly, or the fish and jello,
what what have you.
Um see we're we're an all-aroundpodcast.
(22:42):
We don't just talk, we we get weget down into the in the
nitty-gritty.
SPEAKER_03 (22:46):
We're really in the important thing.
SPEAKER_00 (22:47):
The cuisine, the cuisine of Wonderfalls, ladies
and gentlemen.
The Wonderfalls cuisine.
Yes.
Very important.
SPEAKER_03 (22:56):
Not at all important.
SPEAKER_00 (22:57):
No.
So not at all.
So, not even a little.
No.
So, so hit me hit me with somemore of the details on the deep
dive.
What what do we got?
Not a whole heck of a lot more.
SPEAKER_03 (23:09):
So, next, um, Peter gets all pissed off when Jay
takes him to his dad.
So he steals Jay's car.
SPEAKER_00 (23:20):
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (23:21):
And then um kidnaps Eric by telling him that Jay's
in danger.
SPEAKER_00 (23:26):
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (23:27):
So Peter takes him to a cabin.
Um, Eric has known the wholetime that Peter was trying to
kidnap him, so it's really notall that effective because he is
a child and Eric when Peter goesto swing the bat at him.
Yeah, he disarms him becausehe's an adult and Peter is a
child.
Yes.
Um Jay shows up.
(23:49):
Well, yes.
So Jay shows up to um save Eric.
Yes.
And uh Eric finally asks Jay outon a date and they kiss.
Uh, Peter comes out and admitsthat the better man got the
girl.
Right.
And then Eric's car bursts intoflames because Peter obviously
(24:10):
was trying to kill him.
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (24:11):
Um, he's he's almost over it.
SPEAKER_03 (24:14):
And then uh what ends up happening is that's
right, Franklin.
SPEAKER_00 (24:22):
That's Scully.
SPEAKER_03 (24:22):
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's right, Scully.
SPEAKER_00 (24:24):
Scully's trying to get into the other room.
I see.
SPEAKER_03 (24:28):
Well, so um meanwhile, Peter's father goes
to Jay's um tail to Jay'strailer and meets Katya.
Right.
And of course, when everyonearrives back at the trailer, if
the trailer's knocking, if thetrailer's rocking, don't come a
knocking.
SPEAKER_00 (24:44):
Because of course Sharon does knock.
SPEAKER_03 (24:47):
Of course she does because she's Sharon.
SPEAKER_00 (24:48):
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (24:49):
Um, so in what I well, and we can get into this
when we get into what works,what doesn't work.
Yeah.
Because I really hated that.
What did you really hate?
Um Katcha was.
Yeah, that he got together withKatcha.
Like the child did not do uhlike a dating service like to
(25:09):
hook up his dad with a Russianmail order bride.
SPEAKER_00 (25:13):
No, well, well, the whole thing, well, the the lead
up to that was because all thelove letters that Peter was
sending to Katya.
From the dad, yeah.
Or what from the the loveletters that the dad had written
to his to Peter's mother.
Right.
So so it was it was like Katyahad actually fallen in love with
(25:35):
the father's you know, romanticuh writings.
SPEAKER_03 (25:42):
And then Dick says, the hell with my dead wife.
Here's a hot Russian.
SPEAKER_00 (25:46):
Right.
Exactly.
I mean that I mean I I've seenit a hundred times.
All the time.
SPEAKER_02 (25:59):
Thirty percent of the time it happens all the
time.
SPEAKER_00 (26:01):
Exactly.
Um, so yeah, so yeah, that thatit was it was a weird ending.
Like I I don't think that partwas necessary.
Yeah, I agree.
Um so that I mean, because youhave that listed as a subplot,
the whole Katya dick dicking.
(26:21):
Um that was just yeah, that wasjust they could have done
without that part, I think.
SPEAKER_03 (26:29):
So should we do favorite moments?
SPEAKER_00 (26:32):
Let's do favorite moments, favorite moments,
favorite moments.
SPEAKER_03 (26:37):
Is that our new song for favorite moments?
SPEAKER_00 (26:39):
We've got podcast favorite moments.
unknown (26:42):
Okay.
SPEAKER_03 (26:43):
That's not you just trying something out.
SPEAKER_00 (26:45):
I was just I was just feeling it.
I was just feeling favoritemoments.
SPEAKER_03 (26:49):
I got it.
All right.
SPEAKER_00 (26:51):
Um is my favorite moment of the podcast or
favorite moments.
SPEAKER_03 (26:55):
I see.
So I already talked about whenwas it Mahondra with the wax
lion and the bookend?
Yes, yeah.
So there she's smushing themtogether, they're very upset
about it.
The bookend says inappropriatetouching, and the wax lion says
nobody's happy about this.
SPEAKER_00 (27:13):
Yes.
Well, this isn't fun foranybody.
Oh, that's right.
This isn't fun for anybody.
SPEAKER_03 (27:17):
Um, I have literally written in my notes just she go
Russia, and I will give thecontext on this now.
At one point, Katya says she'sgoing home to Russia, which
immediately in my 90-day fianceloving head pinged uh Julia
saying that she'll go Russia.
Yes, and I was like, Oh, shegoes Russia, she goes Russia,
(27:38):
she goes Russia, yes, and thenmy third one was Sharon telling
Jay, I just think it's funny youmoved in with a woman before I
did.
Yes, I liked that.
Yes, but that was pretty funny.
SPEAKER_00 (27:48):
Some of some of my just silly lines that that I
thought were very funny wasKatya going, I need bigger
Peter.
SPEAKER_03 (27:55):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (27:58):
Well, she got dick, so I was gonna say story of many
women's lives.
And then real subtle.
And then I loved when she whenshe first met Peter, and she
goes, I sent you my mostintimate photograph.
He goes, I know, I made theminto my desktop wallpaper.
SPEAKER_03 (28:16):
Yeah, that father really wasn't noticing anything,
huh?
SPEAKER_00 (28:20):
Again, the father was probably still mourning his
his dead wife, not enough tobang that rush in the back of
Jay's drill.
In Jay's bed.
Hey, we all mourn in differentways.
Do we?
Not the way I mourn.
No.
But apparently, apparentlythat's how uh how Dick does.
Guess so.
(28:41):
Yeah.
And then uh I loved, I lovedwhen when Jay was when Jay, I
don't know, she was picking upPeter or went to find Peter.
SPEAKER_03 (28:52):
Oh yeah.
Didn't she like trick him intogoing to see his father by
saying she'd go on a date withhim?
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (28:57):
And that's why he goes, You're not dressed for an
afternoon of Thaikovsky,Tchaikovsky, and heavy petting.
He's a horned up little kid.
I mean, he's I mean he's 13, soI mean he's a horned kid.
SPEAKER_03 (29:09):
He's a warned up little kid.
SPEAKER_00 (29:10):
He's a horned up little kid.
SPEAKER_03 (29:11):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (29:12):
Um so that would those were some of my just
favorite lines from from theepisode.
I thought it was I thoughtthere's some good like the
writing I thought was good.
SPEAKER_03 (29:21):
Yeah, there was definitely there was definitely
some very funny bits to it.
SPEAKER_00 (29:26):
So let's talk about what worked, what didn't work.
Okay.
Hit it.
SPEAKER_03 (29:30):
Wa.
Okay.
That's my music for what didn'twork.
SPEAKER_00 (29:34):
Wait, wait, wait.
Um record scratch?
Record scratch.
What didn't work?
What worked?
What didn't work?
(29:55):
I need to incorporate that.
Okay.
What worked, what didn't work?
SPEAKER_03 (30:00):
So, as I kind of already alluded to, I really did
not like Katya and Dick gettingtogether.
Right.
That's gonna mentally scar thatpoor child for a lot.
SPEAKER_00 (30:09):
I'm sure.
SPEAKER_03 (30:10):
Um I mean, he's a little psycho, so he might just
burn the house down with them init, but um I guess because it's
consistent with Jay's character,I do like the kind of um push
and pull of her relationshipwith Eric.
You know, she's not ever gonnareally let herself be happy.
(30:32):
And in the next episode, we'llsee that when she does let
herself be happy, it doesn't gothe way you'd hope.
Right.
Um so I thought that actuallyworked pretty well.
Right.
Um I agree, I would agree withthat.
I like getting to see Eric asmore of like a competent adult,
um, especially with like the wayhe handles Peter when he's you
(30:55):
know trying to trying to trickhim.
SPEAKER_00 (31:00):
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (31:01):
Um so I thought that worked pretty well too.
Like you're you're seeing alittle bit of an evolution in
Eric because he really juststarted as like a lovesick ass.
SPEAKER_00 (31:12):
I was just I was I was gonna just say that.
SPEAKER_03 (31:14):
So and you know, he's definitely evolved into an
actual character, so I likethat.
SPEAKER_00 (31:20):
I I would I would totally agree with that
assessment.
Um yeah, he he's his hischaracter has probably has
probably had the most likecharacter development.
He's probably been the mostdeveloped character over the
whole season.
I mean, other than Jake is Imean, she's obviously the like
the lead, but I mean of all ofall the I don't want to call him
(31:41):
a secondary character, but likethe rest of the cast, I feel
like he's gotten the mostdevelopment, obviously because
they're building up thatrelationship, so um, so it makes
sense, but they they definitelyhave um have made a more less of
a two-dimensional kind ofcharacter about my wife dumped
(32:02):
me, you know, let me find likelove again, aka lovesick ass.
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (32:07):
Um, I don't think his wife dumped him.
I think she died.
Didn't she die?
No, I think she died.
Oh, she didn't know.
SPEAKER_00 (32:15):
The wife was given the uh given a blowy to the Oh
no, no, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_03 (32:18):
I'm thinking about uh Dick's wife.
SPEAKER_00 (32:20):
Dick's wife died.
SPEAKER_03 (32:21):
Yes, yes, yes.
Eric's okay, got yeah, becauseshe shows up in the next
episode, so yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (32:26):
So there's all that.
Sorry.
Uh no, it's alright.
Um didn't she die?
Sorry.
No, she didn't die.
Um but some of the some of thethings that didn't work for me,
some there were some weird editsin this episode.
(32:47):
So there's there's the scenewith Peter, Jay, and Eric at the
table in the barrel.
Yeah.
And that's when like Eric orPeter leaves and Jay goes after
him to threaten him to stay awayfrom Katya.
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (33:08):
So oh yeah, she just leaves Eric there.
SPEAKER_00 (33:12):
Well, she leaves Eric there, and yeah, she storms
out of the restaurant, but thenEric later goes, Eric makes a
comment about like seeing you,like he makes a comment like he
saw her do this to Peter.
Like yell at like threatenPeter.
And I'm like, he was backsitting at the table, like he
(33:34):
didn't see that happen.
SPEAKER_03 (33:35):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (33:36):
Because I was like behind a column.
So it was it was like reallyweird writing because like the
writing didn't match what almostmore a weird directing.
Well, the writing just didn'tmatch what you saw on the
screen.
SPEAKER_03 (33:48):
Yeah, but what I'm saying is the director should
have said, Hey, be somewhere youcan see this happening.
SPEAKER_00 (33:54):
Yes, if he had read the whole script, right?
Maybe he didn't read the wholescript.
SPEAKER_03 (33:58):
Perhaps.
SPEAKER_00 (33:58):
Maybe he was just winging it.
SPEAKER_03 (34:00):
I mean, that's what I generally do.
SPEAKER_00 (34:02):
Right?
That's what we're doing rightnow.
SPEAKER_03 (34:04):
Yeah, we didn't even watch the episode.
SPEAKER_00 (34:05):
Who?
Huh?
What show?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Who are you?
That's a great question.
Who are who are any of us?
SPEAKER_03 (34:14):
Who is any of us?
SPEAKER_00 (34:15):
I am you and you are me and we are no, wait.
And I'm the walrus?
Goo go too.
Um yes.
I am the egg man.
SPEAKER_03 (34:28):
And we are all together.
SPEAKER_00 (34:35):
So that's some of the stuff that didn't, yeah.
And obviously, the my wholeissue with the vodka in the
fridge or freezer, or what thehell happened there, I don't
know.
Um, the vodka ended upsomewhere.
Um again, the writing doesn'tmatch what you saw in the like
it's like that's why I'm tryingto figure out if like they just
did like weird edits in the inthe edit room, like to cut down
(34:57):
the episode.
SPEAKER_03 (34:58):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (34:59):
So, like maybe like because again, maybe she put the
vodka in the fridge, but thenwhen we see her opening the in
the freezer, and then when shewe see her opening the fridge,
maybe that's when she's pullingout the jello fish.
SPEAKER_03 (35:10):
Yeah, because it's not like it's a huge fridge.
SPEAKER_00 (35:12):
No, exactly, and that was a big bottle of vodka.
SPEAKER_03 (35:15):
It's the best kind of vodka, big big bottle, the
big bottle of vodka.
SPEAKER_00 (35:20):
That's how you know it's good.
SPEAKER_03 (35:21):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_00 (35:22):
30% of the time it works all the time.
Um anything behind the scenes.
Um fun facts.
I didn't have either of those.
No, not really.
Well, you make the comment aboutthe muses almost entirely
absent.
SPEAKER_03 (35:40):
Other than like the very beginning of the episode.
And I like when the muses are init because I think it was a
little I think a lot of the timeit's in the beginning, it's not
obvious what the muses aretrying to do.
SPEAKER_00 (35:52):
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (35:52):
Um, but toward the end, should I just back up and
start over?
unknown (35:59):
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (35:59):
How much of you doing rewind noises are you
gonna leave in this episode?
I don't know.
Hey, you want some dinner, don'tyou?
Oh, she wants dinner enough thatshe'll actually come to me.
SPEAKER_00 (36:10):
Wow, Scully.
SPEAKER_03 (36:13):
She's like, is there anything I can eat on your hand?
SPEAKER_00 (36:16):
Well, that's what you have to do with her.
She won't let you pet her first.
SPEAKER_03 (36:19):
But she'll come to you.
SPEAKER_00 (36:21):
She has to sniff your hand first, and then she'll
let you pet her.
But it's like it's veryparticular.
You can't just go to pet herbecause she'll like reel back.
SPEAKER_03 (36:31):
Mulder is almost the same way, though.
SPEAKER_00 (36:33):
Mulder has to like let you rub the side of his
face, and then you can yeah,he's yeah, and then you can pet
him.
He's a very particular boy.
unknown (36:39):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (36:40):
Anyway.
SPEAKER_03 (36:40):
You got some particular cats.
Yeah.
Okay.
So the thing about the muses.
The thing about the muses isthat I think most of the time
you can figure out what theywere actually trying to
accomplish by the end of theepisode.
Right.
(37:01):
Here, not sure.
Were they trying to get Katyaand Dick together?
Were they trying to get Jay andEric together?
Was it both?
Was it neither?
I don't know.
Exactly.
And that's why I feel like youneeded a little bit more of the
muses throughout the episode tofigure out like which which
thing were they trying to makehappen?
(37:22):
Both?
Maybe.
But the world may never know.
Because this was like 2003.
SPEAKER_00 (37:30):
I know.
Maybe we'll have to ask BrianFuller.
Okay, yeah, I'll give him acall.
Alright.
So, okay, so interestingepisode.
So what do we it wasn't aproblematic episode.
It was, I would say it's an okayepisode.
SPEAKER_03 (37:47):
It was alright.
I mean, you know, I think thethe concept of the Russian mail
order bride is a little uh Imean she wasn't mail order, but
you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00 (37:56):
Like the Russian bride thing was a little bit of
uh this was what this is this isWonderfalls before the 90 days,
yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_03 (38:06):
Um no, it would have to be 90 day fiance or she
wouldn't have gotten here.
I mean, that's the thing thatmakes no sense.
How is she even here?
SPEAKER_00 (38:13):
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (38:13):
Is she on a tourist visa?
How easy were those to get fromRussia in the early 2000s?
SPEAKER_00 (38:18):
I don't really know.
Uh so many questions.
So many questions.
We need to research that.
I am sorry, I am sorry to ouraudience that we did not
research the requirements in2003 for Russians to get to the
United States.
SPEAKER_03 (38:31):
Unless that psycho little kid managed to get a
90-day fiance visa.
SPEAKER_00 (38:35):
I mean, I mean he had to start with his credit
card.
SPEAKER_03 (38:37):
He could have photoshopped pictures of the two
of them together to make it looklike they'd met.
SPEAKER_00 (38:42):
But they would he would have had to gone to a
wouldn't he have gone had togone to an embassy?
Or I guess not him.
SPEAKER_03 (38:48):
I don't you have to mail it in.
I think you can also do itthrough a lawyer.
SPEAKER_00 (38:51):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_03 (38:52):
We've been mailing this whole thing in, so no,
we've been phoning it in.
That's different.
SPEAKER_00 (39:01):
Anyway.
So we'll have we'll have towe'll have to do some follow-up.
We'll do that, we'll do that inour recap of the season.
We'll we'll come back to 2003 uhimmigration law.
SPEAKER_02 (39:13):
Perfect.
SPEAKER_00 (39:14):
If we had Sharon, if we had Sharon, the immigration
attorney, we could we would havewe would have answers to this.
Where is Sharon when you needher?
Yeah, seriously.
Sharon.
Sharon.

SPEAKER_03 (39:28):
Sharon.
Oh, R.I.P.
Yeah, really.
We miss you, Ozzy.
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (39:35):
All right.
So I I I'd say this is like aseven out of ten.
A little better than middle, butnot a stellar episode.
Maybe six and a half.
What do you what do you think?
SPEAKER_03 (39:48):
Yeah, I'd say six and a half.
I'd go thumbs mostly up on thisone.
SPEAKER_00 (39:53):
Um thumb upper than lower.
SPEAKER_03 (39:55):
So yeah, it's like not quite mid.
Yeah.
It's as the kids say, it's notmid.
It's a little above mid.
I don't know what that would be.
SPEAKER_00 (40:03):
Would you would you give it a six seven?
Oh sorry.
unknown (40:09):
God help me.
SPEAKER_00 (40:13):
Oh boy.

Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (02:16):
And uh has he done anything recently?
I don't know.
Let's take a look.
SPEAKER_03 (02:20):
I know I looked when I first watched it and I don't
remember anything, so probablynot, but let's see.
SPEAKER_00 (02:27):
Probably probably chose like just going, like
decided to go to college and bea normal, normal kid.
SPEAKER_03 (02:33):
So he is now 33 if you want to feel old.
Wow.
Um, he acted until it looks likehe's doing voice work now.
SPEAKER_00 (02:46):
Oh, good for him.
Um got a face for radio.
SPEAKER_03 (02:50):
Yeah, and that he's done like some movies, but
nothing that you would have everheard of.
Got it.
Uh and now as of 2016, he wasco-hosting a podcast.
SPEAKER_00 (03:02):
All right.
And that's isn't everybody isn'teverybody co-hosting a podcast
these days.
I mean, yeah.
Let's see.
I mean, we are.
SPEAKER_03 (03:10):
Yeah, I mean, he's in he's still acting, but not in
anything anyone would have everheard of.
SPEAKER_00 (03:17):
Oh, good for him.
As long as he's enjoyinghimself.
Yeah.
That's all that matters.
SPEAKER_03 (03:21):
Well, as long as he can pay his rent because, you
know, eating is fun.
SPEAKER_00 (03:25):
Eating is fundamental.
SPEAKER_03 (03:27):
He apparently played Curtis the Elf in the Santa
Claus.
Did he?
And the Santa Claus II.
I don't know if the Santa ClausII is in there.
SPEAKER_00 (03:39):
That reminds me of the kid from uh Christmas story.
He played the one elf in uh inelf.
SPEAKER_03 (03:45):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (03:46):
Yeah.
I mean, they're just child,child stars.
SPEAKER_03 (03:51):
So Spencer, playing elves, as I suspected, did not
quite have the career of hissister.
SPEAKER_00 (03:57):
That's okay.
We still like him.
What whatever he chose to dowith his life is is he's
probably got like a regular job,I would guess.
unknown (04:07):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_00 (04:08):
Or does he do a ton of voice work?
SPEAKER_03 (04:10):
He might be producing too.
SPEAKER_00 (04:11):
Oh.
He went the producing route.
SPEAKER_03 (04:14):
Although when I see him as a very young kid, I
recognize him.
SPEAKER_00 (04:19):
Oh, sure.
Yeah, he's one of the like, hey,that's that kid.
Mm-hmm.
I recognize him.
Nice.
Anyone else?
SPEAKER_03 (04:28):
Who I guess that was that was the only other I mean
uh they didn't really name whothe woman who played Katya was.
SPEAKER_00 (04:34):
They didn't name her?
SPEAKER_03 (04:35):
Well, I mean they named her somewhere, but I
didn't see it as anythinginteresting.
I think I actually looked her upand I think she was actually a
Russian actress.
SPEAKER_00 (04:43):
Fascinating.
SPEAKER_03 (04:44):
Which is funny because I didn't find the accent
all that convincing.
SPEAKER_01 (04:49):
You go to Russia.
I go Russia.
SPEAKER_00 (04:54):
Or it could be, you know, Natalie from 90 Day.
But anyway.
SPEAKER_03 (05:02):
You're stealing one of my things for later.
SPEAKER_00 (05:05):
Sorry.
SPEAKER_03 (05:06):
Uh I'm looking it up to see if I can find her now.
SPEAKER_00 (05:09):
Okay.
Anyway, while you do that, let'stalk about the synopsis of the
episode.
SPEAKER_03 (05:18):
Okay.
SPEAKER_00 (05:19):
So we we it starts on Katya.
We don't know what's Katya.
Sitting outside.
The the kind of what do you callthat?
The patio area outside ofWonderfalls gift shop.
SPEAKER_03 (05:40):
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Whatever that the fountain area.
SPEAKER_00 (05:44):
Fountain area.
Um sure there's a technical termfor that.
Um, she's sitting out therewatching all these couples in
love and you know, eagerlyawaiting like her.
She's obviously waiting forwaiting for somebody.
And we find out later that sheis waiting for someone named
(06:07):
Peter, her supposed fiance thatshe met online.
SPEAKER_01 (06:11):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (06:12):
And Jay and Eric decide to help Katya find Peter.
Because Peter's basically stoodher, stood her up.
Well, because they they theyrealize that she's gonna go to
the what?
The fountain.
Is it what fountains of love?
Mm-hmm.
Which is the Mahondra tells themis the the name of a wedding
(06:35):
chapel.
Wedding chapel.
So they go down to Fountains ofLove, find out that the wedding
was canceled, and um someshenanigans ensue, and Eric
basically has a panic attack,passes out, and Jay steals the
(06:58):
record entry from the logbookand hightails it out of there.
SPEAKER_02 (07:03):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (07:04):
And we find out that Peter is actually a 13-year-old
boy, just about to be just onthe cusp of 14.
SPEAKER_03 (07:11):
Which makes it so much better.
SPEAKER_00 (07:12):
Or 40.
Um, because he he aged himselfwith the with Photoshop or
something.
Uh and so yeah, Katya's tryingto deal with all that.
Jay and Eric are are theirrelationship grows closer, and
Jay threatens Peter to stay awayfrom Katya, and Peter apparently
(07:39):
likes a very strong, strongwoman because this now changes
his attraction from Katya toJay.
And there's a whole thing aboutshe thinks that Jay and Eric are
together, that they're boyfriendand girlfriend, so he's trying
to break them up to um steal Jayfor himself.
(08:00):
Right.
Um lots to lots to unpack there.
So that's the that's the briefhighlights.
What's you want to do the deepdive?
SPEAKER_03 (08:10):
Sure.
SPEAKER_00 (08:11):
Are you petting Mulder?
SPEAKER_03 (08:13):
I am petting Mulder.
SPEAKER_00 (08:14):
Don't look behind you.
SPEAKER_03 (08:15):
Hi, Scully.
SPEAKER_00 (08:16):
Scully is behind you.
All right.
Deep dive.
Let's do the deep dive.
Okay.
Let's break down the plot.
SPEAKER_03 (08:25):
Okay.
So we start out with Eric on topof uh Jay's mobile home
installing a satellite dish.
SPEAKER_00 (08:34):
Hot Eric.
SPEAKER_03 (08:35):
Yeah, while Jay and Mahandra are sitting in chairs
on the ground just gawking.
SPEAKER_00 (08:41):
Ogling, ogling, ogling.
Yes.
Umogling.
Yeah, they're they're they'relike, they're eyeing up that
piece of man meat.
SPEAKER_03 (08:50):
Like, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (08:50):
My God.
SPEAKER_03 (08:51):
But then she's also talking about how, oh, it's not
a time for me, good time for meto get into a relationship.
But like obviously everything isdrawing her to Eric.
SPEAKER_00 (08:59):
Of course.
SPEAKER_03 (09:02):
Um, this is, and I know we'll get to favorite
moments, but I'm just gonna sayvery quickly my favorite moment
is the wax lion in the bookend.
unknown (09:11):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (09:12):
Inappropriate touching.
SPEAKER_00 (09:15):
Well, because I I take it one further than that.
Okay.
So, because that's what so thethe monkey goes, inappropriate
touching, yeah, and then thelion goes, This isn't fun for
anybody.
SPEAKER_04 (09:26):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (09:27):
So good.
So good.
SPEAKER_00 (09:32):
It's it's it's I mean, because there's is this
the episode where there's reallynot much of the muses in it,
right?
Because you mentioned that.
SPEAKER_03 (09:40):
Um, yeah, so you have them, so you have the wax
lion in the bookend for like avery brief time.
Right.
And then um when she finallysees, and we can keep going, um
basically Jay finds sorry, backup.
(10:02):
Yes.
Oh, did we just you just rewoundthat, huh?
That was that was good to dothat.
I rewound that for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Um so the next day at work,barrel bear and lovesick ass,
and this is really the only timewe see them, right?
Uh tell her that girl needs aboy.
Yes.
And then that's when Jay goesoutside and finds Eric giving
(10:22):
donuts to who we find out isKatya, right, who's at the
fountain.
She's here from Russia.
She came here to meet a man.
She was stood up.
SPEAKER_00 (10:32):
Well, doesn't the lovesick ass also say eat a
donut?
SPEAKER_03 (10:35):
Oh, yeah, he does.
SPEAKER_00 (10:36):
He says something about like go eat a donut.
SPEAKER_03 (10:38):
When she's in the yeah, when she's in the the like
coffee room or whatever.
SPEAKER_00 (10:42):
Yeah.
Yeah, so they yeah, so they talkabout going to go and eat a
donut as well.
Yeah, and then cut to cut to theoutside when Jay sees Eric with
Katya and eating donuts.
Eating donuts.
SPEAKER_03 (10:59):
Which he was bringing to Jay.
SPEAKER_00 (11:00):
Yes, he was to his credit, which was very nice of
him.
SPEAKER_03 (11:05):
But he saw someone who was hungry and and he sees
Jay as this very magnanimousgiving person because she does
the bidding of the muses.
Right.
So I'm sure he thinks he's justdoing what Jay would do.
Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure Jayjust wants that box of donuts.
SPEAKER_00 (11:22):
I think she does.
At least a donut.
I don't know if she wants thewhole box of donuts.
I mean, who am I to judge?
I'd eat the whole box of donuts.
SPEAKER_03 (11:31):
Yeah, right.
Fight you for them.
SPEAKER_00 (11:34):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_03 (11:35):
Um, so we kind of talked about this at the top,
but they go to the weddingchapel to try to find out what
happened.
Eric passes out.
All of this just kind ofreinforces Jay's concern about
getting into a relationship,even though they're attracted to
each other.
SPEAKER_01 (11:53):
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (11:53):
Um, they find the address, show up at the house,
find out Peter is a 12-year-oldor 13-year-old, I guess.
Yeah.
Yep.
Um, Katya's really mad.
And she's staying with Jay nowbecause there's nowhere else for
her to go.
Correct.
Um, we talked about then Peterdevelops a crush on Jay.
SPEAKER_00 (12:14):
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (12:15):
Uh Jay tries taking Peter to his dad, but Peter gets
pissed off, and then the dad isjust a total dick.
And that's pretty funny becausehis name is Dick.
SPEAKER_00 (12:27):
His name is Dick.
Dick Johnson.
SPEAKER_03 (12:29):
Big Dick Johnson.
SPEAKER_00 (12:30):
Of all names.
Well, Peter Johnson and DickJohnson.
SPEAKER_03 (12:33):
I'm like, this is This is what happens when four
people write an episode.
Wow.
unknown (12:38):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (12:38):
So there was well, well, there was also a whole
thing when Eric got punched bythe father.
SPEAKER_03 (12:44):
Oh, yeah, that's right.
So there's a father has um someanger issues, which we later
learn are because the his wifedied.
SPEAKER_00 (12:53):
Well, that like that's the whole thing.
Like, he doesn't, that's one ofthe things that so we talk about
things that worked and didn'twork in this episode.
The whole thing about himpunching Eric doesn't work for
me.
SPEAKER_03 (13:04):
No, me.
SPEAKER_00 (13:04):
Because he does not he does not come off as a
violent guy.
He comes off as a guy who'sdoing his best because his wife
passed away.
SPEAKER_03 (13:14):
He's stuck with this kid who's kind of difficult.
Well, he's a teenager.
I mean he's a teenager who losthis mom.
SPEAKER_00 (13:22):
He's a teenager who lost his mom, and the dad is
struggling with with how to howto be both parents to the kid.
So like I don't I didn't Ididn't find the him punching
Eric.
SPEAKER_02 (13:34):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (13:34):
Like I did, I just didn't that didn't that didn't
work for me.
SPEAKER_03 (13:39):
But um the father punches him because the kid
gives himself a black eye.
I'm trying to remember.
SPEAKER_00 (13:47):
I don't even remember that's why I don't even
remember why.
SPEAKER_03 (13:50):

like he just comes back with ablack eye and was like, I tried

we're hitting all the highlightstoday.
SPEAKER_00 (21:20):
Okay, so anyway, we have an episode to talk about.
So it was this whole kind ofangsty kind of um is Eric
interested in Katya?
And because Jay's like, Jay isactually kind of, I think,
getting jealous.
SPEAKER_03 (21:36):
She absolutely is.
SPEAKER_00 (21:38):
And then she's like, she's like, well, like, are you
into her?
He's like, if I were into her,why would I be helping her find
her husband, like find herfiance?
Right.
And then afterward, then she'slike, she's still jealous.
And she's like, she's like,well, why are you interested in
her?
(21:58):
He's like, or why are youinterested in her now?
She's like, well and he's like,well, because she's not engaged
anymore.
She's single.
So he's like, you know, like,what do you care?
SPEAKER_03 (22:07):
It's like, well, because she's been very
standoffish.
SPEAKER_00 (22:13):
Aloof?
SPEAKER_03 (22:14):
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (22:14):
Yes.
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_03 (22:16):
Both of those things.
SPEAKER_00 (22:17):
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (22:18):
Both standoffish and aloof.
SPEAKER_00 (22:20):
Aloofish.
Aloofish.
Back to fish.
See, we're back to aloofish.
Like it's another type of fish.
Yeah.
Um.
All the cuisines.
The cuisines of the world.
The aloofish, the fish andjelly, or the fish and jello,
what what have you.
Um see we're we're an all-aroundpodcast.
(22:42):
We don't just talk, we we get weget down into the in the
nitty-gritty.
SPEAKER_03 (22:46):
We're really in the important thing.
SPEAKER_00 (22:47):
The cuisine, the cuisine of Wonderfalls, ladies
and gentlemen.
The Wonderfalls cuisine.
Yes.
Very important.
SPEAKER_03 (22:56):
Not at all important.
SPEAKER_00 (22:57):
No.
So not at all.
So, not even a little.
No.
So, so hit me hit me with somemore of the details on the deep
dive.
What what do we got?
Not a whole heck of a lot more.
SPEAKER_03 (23:09):
So, next, um, Peter gets all pissed off when Jay
takes him to his dad.
So he steals Jay's car.
SPEAKER_00 (23:20):
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (23:21):
And then um kidnaps Eric by telling him that Jay's
in danger.
SPEAKER_00 (23:26):
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (23:27):
So Peter takes him to a cabin.
Um, Eric has known the wholetime that Peter was trying to
kidnap him, so it's really notall that effective because he is
a child and Eric when Peter goesto swing the bat at him.
Yeah, he disarms him becausehe's an adult and Peter is a
child.
Yes.
Um Jay shows up.
(23:49):
Well, yes.
So Jay shows up to um save Eric.
Yes.
And uh Eric finally asks Jay outon a date and they kiss.
Uh, Peter comes out and admitsthat the better man got the
girl.
Right.
And then Eric's car bursts intoflames because Peter obviously
(24:10):
was trying to kill him.
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (24:11):
Um, he's he's almost over it.
SPEAKER_03 (24:14):
And then uh what ends up happening is that's
right, Franklin.
SPEAKER_00 (24:22):
That's Scully.
SPEAKER_03 (24:22):
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's right, Scully.
SPEAKER_00 (24:24):
Scully's trying to get into the other room.
I see.
SPEAKER_03 (24:28):
Well, so um meanwhile, Peter's father goes
to Jay's um tail to Jay'strailer and meets Katya.
Right.
And of course, when everyonearrives back at the trailer, if
the trailer's knocking, if thetrailer's rocking, don't come a
knocking.
SPEAKER_00 (24:44):
Because of course Sharon does knock.
SPEAKER_03 (24:47):
Of course she does because she's Sharon.
SPEAKER_00 (24:48):
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (24:49):
Um, so in what I well, and we can get into this
when we get into what works,what doesn't work.
Yeah.
Because I really hated that.
What did you really hate?
Um Katcha was.
Yeah, that he got together withKatcha.
Like the child did not do uhlike a dating service like to
(25:09):
hook up his dad with a Russianmail order bride.
SPEAKER_00 (25:13):
No, well, well, the whole thing, well, the the lead
up to that was because all thelove letters that Peter was
sending to Katya.
From the dad, yeah.
Or what from the the loveletters that the dad had written
to his to Peter's mother.
Right.
So so it was it was like Katyahad actually fallen in love with
(25:35):
the father's you know, romanticuh writings.
SPEAKER_03 (25:42):
And then Dick says, the hell with my dead wife.
Here's a hot Russian.
SPEAKER_00 (25:46):
Right.
Exactly.
I mean that I mean I I've seenit a hundred times.
All the time.
SPEAKER_02 (25:59):
Thirty percent of the time it happens all the
time.
SPEAKER_00 (26:01):
Exactly.
Um, so yeah, so yeah, that thatit was it was a weird ending.
Like I I don't think that partwas necessary.
Yeah, I agree.
Um so that I mean, because youhave that listed as a subplot,
the whole Katya dick dicking.
(26:21):
Um that was just yeah, that wasjust they could have done
without that part, I think.
SPEAKER_03 (26:29):
So should we do favorite moments?
SPEAKER_00 (26:32):
Let's do favorite moments, favorite moments,
favorite moments.
SPEAKER_03 (26:37):
Is that our new song for favorite moments?
SPEAKER_00 (26:39):
We've got podcast favorite moments.
unknown (26:42):
Okay.
SPEAKER_03 (26:43):
That's not you just trying something out.
SPEAKER_00 (26:45):
I was just I was just feeling it.
I was just feeling favoritemoments.
SPEAKER_03 (26:49):
I got it.
All right.
SPEAKER_00 (26:51):
Um is my favorite moment of the podcast or
favorite moments.
SPEAKER_03 (26:55):
I see.
So I already talked about whenwas it Mahondra with the wax
lion and the bookend?
Yes, yeah.
So there she's smushing themtogether, they're very upset
about it.
The bookend says inappropriatetouching, and the wax lion says
nobody's happy about this.
SPEAKER_00 (27:13):
Yes.
Well, this isn't fun foranybody.
Oh, that's right.
This isn't fun for anybody.
SPEAKER_03 (27:17):
Um, I have literally written in my notes just she go
Russia, and I will give thecontext on this now.
At one point, Katya says she'sgoing home to Russia, which
immediately in my 90-day fianceloving head pinged uh Julia
saying that she'll go Russia.
Yes, and I was like, Oh, shegoes Russia, she goes Russia,
(27:38):
she goes Russia, yes, and thenmy third one was Sharon telling
Jay, I just think it's funny youmoved in with a woman before I
did.
Yes, I liked that.
Yes, but that was pretty funny.
SPEAKER_00 (27:48):
Some of some of my just silly lines that that I
thought were very funny wasKatya going, I need bigger
Peter.
SPEAKER_03 (27:55):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (27:58):
Well, she got dick, so I was gonna say story of many
women's lives.
And then real subtle.
And then I loved when she whenshe first met Peter, and she
goes, I sent you my mostintimate photograph.
He goes, I know, I made theminto my desktop wallpaper.
SPEAKER_03 (28:16):
Yeah, that father really wasn't noticing anything,
huh?
SPEAKER_00 (28:20):
Again, the father was probably still mourning his
his dead wife, not enough tobang that rush in the back of
Jay's drill.
In Jay's bed.
Hey, we all mourn in differentways.
Do we?
Not the way I mourn.
No.
But apparently, apparentlythat's how uh how Dick does.
Guess so.
(28:41):
Yeah.
And then uh I loved, I lovedwhen when Jay was when Jay, I
don't know, she was picking upPeter or went to find Peter.
SPEAKER_03 (28:52):
Oh yeah.
Didn't she like trick him intogoing to see his father by
saying she'd go on a date withhim?
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (28:57):
And that's why he goes, You're not dressed for an
afternoon of Thaikovsky,Tchaikovsky, and heavy petting.
He's a horned up little kid.
I mean, he's I mean he's 13, soI mean he's a horned kid.
SPEAKER_03 (29:09):
He's a warned up little kid.
SPEAKER_00 (29:10):
He's a horned up little kid.
SPEAKER_03 (29:11):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (29:12):
Um so that would those were some of my just
favorite lines from from theepisode.
I thought it was I thoughtthere's some good like the
writing I thought was good.
SPEAKER_03 (29:21):
Yeah, there was definitely there was definitely
some very funny bits to it.
SPEAKER_00 (29:26):
So let's talk about what worked, what didn't work.
Okay.
Hit it.
SPEAKER_03 (29:30):
Wa.
Okay.
That's my music for what didn'twork.
SPEAKER_00 (29:34):
Wait, wait, wait.
Um record scratch?
Record scratch.
What didn't work?
What worked?
What didn't work?
(29:55):
I need to incorporate that.
Okay.
What worked, what didn't work?
SPEAKER_03 (30:00):
So, as I kind of already alluded to, I really did
not like Katya and Dick gettingtogether.
Right.
That's gonna mentally scar thatpoor child for a lot.
SPEAKER_00 (30:09):
I'm sure.
SPEAKER_03 (30:10):
Um I mean, he's a little psycho, so he might just
burn the house down with them init, but um I guess because it's
consistent with Jay's character,I do like the kind of um push
and pull of her relationshipwith Eric.
You know, she's not ever gonnareally let herself be happy.
(30:32):
And in the next episode, we'llsee that when she does let
herself be happy, it doesn't gothe way you'd hope.
Right.
Um so I thought that actuallyworked pretty well.
Right.
Um I agree, I would agree withthat.
I like getting to see Eric asmore of like a competent adult,
um, especially with like the wayhe handles Peter when he's you
(30:55):
know trying to trying to trickhim.
SPEAKER_00 (31:00):
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (31:01):
Um so I thought that worked pretty well too.
Like you're you're seeing alittle bit of an evolution in
Eric because he really juststarted as like a lovesick ass.
SPEAKER_00 (31:12):
I was just I was I was gonna just say that.
SPEAKER_03 (31:14):
So and you know, he's definitely evolved into an
actual character, so I likethat.
SPEAKER_00 (31:20):
I I would I would totally agree with that
assessment.
Um yeah, he he's his hischaracter has probably has
probably had the most likecharacter development.
He's probably been the mostdeveloped character over the
whole season.
I mean, other than Jake is Imean, she's obviously the like
the lead, but I mean of all ofall the I don't want to call him
(31:41):
a secondary character, but likethe rest of the cast, I feel
like he's gotten the mostdevelopment, obviously because
they're building up thatrelationship, so um, so it makes
sense, but they they definitelyhave um have made a more less of
a two-dimensional kind ofcharacter about my wife dumped
(32:02):
me, you know, let me find likelove again, aka lovesick ass.
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (32:07):
Um, I don't think his wife dumped him.
I think she died.
Didn't she die?
No, I think she died.
Oh, she didn't know.
SPEAKER_00 (32:15):
The wife was given the uh given a blowy to the Oh
no, no, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_03 (32:18):
I'm thinking about uh Dick's wife.
SPEAKER_00 (32:20):
Dick's wife died.
SPEAKER_03 (32:21):
Yes, yes, yes.
Eric's okay, got yeah, becauseshe shows up in the next
episode, so yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (32:26):
So there's all that.
Sorry.
Uh no, it's alright.
Um didn't she die?
Sorry.
No, she didn't die.
Um but some of the some of thethings that didn't work for me,
some there were some weird editsin this episode.
(32:47):
So there's there's the scenewith Peter, Jay, and Eric at the
table in the barrel.
Yeah.
And that's when like Eric orPeter leaves and Jay goes after
him to threaten him to stay awayfrom Katya.
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (33:08):
So oh yeah, she just leaves Eric there.
SPEAKER_00 (33:12):
Well, she leaves Eric there, and yeah, she storms
out of the restaurant, but thenEric later goes, Eric makes a
comment about like seeing you,like he makes a comment like he
saw her do this to Peter.
Like yell at like threatenPeter.
And I'm like, he was backsitting at the table, like he
(33:34):
didn't see that happen.
SPEAKER_03 (33:35):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (33:36):
Because I was like behind a column.
So it was it was like reallyweird writing because like the
writing didn't match what almostmore a weird directing.
Well, the writing just didn'tmatch what you saw on the
screen.
SPEAKER_03 (33:48):
Yeah, but what I'm saying is the director should
have said, Hey, be somewhere youcan see this happening.
SPEAKER_00 (33:54):
Yes, if he had read the whole script, right?
Maybe he didn't read the wholescript.
SPEAKER_03 (33:58):
Perhaps.
SPEAKER_00 (33:58):
Maybe he was just winging it.
SPEAKER_03 (34:00):
I mean, that's what I generally do.
SPEAKER_00 (34:02):
Right?
That's what we're doing rightnow.
SPEAKER_03 (34:04):
Yeah, we didn't even watch the episode.
SPEAKER_00 (34:05):
Who?
Huh?
What show?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Who are you?
That's a great question.
Who are who are any of us?
SPEAKER_03 (34:14):
Who is any of us?
SPEAKER_00 (34:15):
I am you and you are me and we are no, wait.
And I'm the walrus?
Goo go too.
Um yes.
I am the egg man.
SPEAKER_03 (34:28):
And we are all together.
SPEAKER_00 (34:35):
So that's some of the stuff that didn't, yeah.
And obviously, the my wholeissue with the vodka in the
fridge or freezer, or what thehell happened there, I don't
know.
Um, the vodka ended upsomewhere.
Um again, the writing doesn'tmatch what you saw in the like
it's like that's why I'm tryingto figure out if like they just
did like weird edits in the inthe edit room, like to cut down
(34:57):
the episode.
SPEAKER_03 (34:58):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (34:59):
So, like maybe like because again, maybe she put the
vodka in the fridge, but thenwhen we see her opening the in
the freezer, and then when shewe see her opening the fridge,
maybe that's when she's pullingout the jello fish.
SPEAKER_03 (35:10):
Yeah, because it's not like it's a huge fridge.
SPEAKER_00 (35:12):
No, exactly, and that was a big bottle of vodka.
SPEAKER_03 (35:15):
It's the best kind of vodka, big big bottle, the
big bottle of vodka.
SPEAKER_00 (35:20):
That's how you know it's good.
SPEAKER_03 (35:21):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_00 (35:22):
30% of the time it works all the time.
Um anything behind the scenes.
Um fun facts.
I didn't have either of those.
No, not really.
Well, you make the comment aboutthe muses almost entirely
absent.
SPEAKER_03 (35:40):
Other than like the very beginning of the episode.
And I like when the muses are init because I think it was a
little I think a lot of the timeit's in the beginning, it's not
obvious what the muses aretrying to do.
SPEAKER_00 (35:52):
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (35:52):
Um, but toward the end, should I just back up and
start over?
unknown (35:59):
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (35:59):
How much of you doing rewind noises are you
gonna leave in this episode?
I don't know.
Hey, you want some dinner, don'tyou?
Oh, she wants dinner enough thatshe'll actually come to me.
SPEAKER_00 (36:10):
Wow, Scully.
SPEAKER_03 (36:13):
She's like, is there anything I can eat on your hand?
SPEAKER_00 (36:16):
Well, that's what you have to do with her.
She won't let you pet her first.
SPEAKER_03 (36:19):
But she'll come to you.
SPEAKER_00 (36:21):
She has to sniff your hand first, and then she'll
let you pet her.
But it's like it's veryparticular.
You can't just go to pet herbecause she'll like reel back.
SPEAKER_03 (36:31):
Mulder is almost the same way, though.
SPEAKER_00 (36:33):
Mulder has to like let you rub the side of his
face, and then you can yeah,he's yeah, and then you can pet
him.
He's a very particular boy.
unknown (36:39):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (36:40):
Anyway.
SPEAKER_03 (36:40):
You got some particular cats.
Yeah.
Okay.
So the thing about the muses.
The thing about the muses isthat I think most of the time
you can figure out what theywere actually trying to
accomplish by the end of theepisode.
Right.
(37:01):
Here, not sure.
Were they trying to get Katyaand Dick together?
Were they trying to get Jay andEric together?
Was it both?
Was it neither?
I don't know.
Exactly.
And that's why I feel like youneeded a little bit more of the
muses throughout the episode tofigure out like which which
thing were they trying to makehappen?
(37:22):
Both?
Maybe.
But the world may never know.
Because this was like 2003.
SPEAKER_00 (37:30):
I know.
Maybe we'll have to ask BrianFuller.
Okay, yeah, I'll give him acall.
Alright.
So, okay, so interestingepisode.
So what do we it wasn't aproblematic episode.
It was, I would say it's an okayepisode.
SPEAKER_03 (37:47):
It was alright.
I mean, you know, I think thethe concept of the Russian mail
order bride is a little uh Imean she wasn't mail order, but
you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00 (37:56):
Like the Russian bride thing was a little bit of
uh this was what this is this isWonderfalls before the 90 days,
yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_03 (38:06):
Um no, it would have to be 90 day fiance or she
wouldn't have gotten here.
I mean, that's the thing thatmakes no sense.
How is she even here?
SPEAKER_00 (38:13):
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (38:13):
Is she on a tourist visa?
How easy were those to get fromRussia in the early 2000s?
SPEAKER_00 (38:18):
I don't really know.
Uh so many questions.
So many questions.
We need to research that.
I am sorry, I am sorry to ouraudience that we did not
research the requirements in2003 for Russians to get to the
