Be Kind, Rewind: “Once in Love with Amy” with Lee Norris

00:00:21
Speaker 1: Oh my stomach girds you guys, I went to I went to a pilates class yesterday and it was really good. And I know it's good because I can't laugh today without being in pain.

00:00:31
Speaker 2: Oh.

00:00:31
Speaker 3: No, Pilates is that thing that everybody thinks they can do and then they do it and they can't walk for a weekend. Can you?

00:00:37
Speaker 1: If you just watch a pilates class, you're like, what are those what do those.

00:00:41
Speaker 2: People think they're doing? And then you do it and it's really hard.

00:00:46
Speaker 4: Have you ever tried it?

00:00:47
Speaker 1: I really think you would really love it. This was a reformer class. You can do Matt pilates or you can do them on a reformer. This was a Reformer and man, the thing I'd say is that it's a lot of like small movements or what looks very simple.

00:01:02
Speaker 2: But man, you're working on the movements. Yes exactly.

00:01:06
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but all that's going through my head is Reformer.

00:01:12
Speaker 5: Yeah no, no, that was that was a Snow was his name.

00:01:16
Speaker 3: No, I'll never forget because his first album was titled twelve Inches of Snow, So never forget that as long as I look.

00:01:27
Speaker 1: Okay, Informer, all right, thank you very much, so talking about a reformer.

00:01:31
Speaker 2: Will have you ever done You've never done pilates.

00:01:34
Speaker 3: I did pilates one time, and that was that was three times too many for me.

00:01:37
Speaker 5: I'd like to go back.

00:01:39
Speaker 3: I'm doing I'm big into the doing the calisthenics now, which is a fun long way of saying, lots of push ups. Okay, that's all that is. It's like yoga. The first time I went to yoga, it's like, Oh, they're just hiding doing seventy five push ups.

00:01:50
Speaker 5: That's all that yoga is. So I find.

00:01:53
Speaker 4: Yoga can be too mellow. Yeah, sometimes I'm like, oh, I was for forty five minutes, I was stretching.

00:01:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, which stretching is great for you. It's really good for your body and your long term health. But yeah, try again. We've talked about this. Not a sponsor, but just the the better me app. I do that every day. It's up to like a half hour a day. It's sit ups, push ups, stretching, it's all kind of combined.

00:02:15
Speaker 5: It's really good.

00:02:16
Speaker 2: It's great.

00:02:16
Speaker 5: And then I run every day still and do my elliptic.

00:02:18
Speaker 1: I know your twenty seven thousand steps that you get in a day.

00:02:22
Speaker 2: I do you crazy person?

00:02:24
Speaker 5: I love it.

00:02:24
Speaker 1: The thing I loved about my pilates class yesterday was the instructor, Like, you can have the same class, but depending on who is teaching it, it can just completely change your entire thing.

00:02:36
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, this is a big problem with yoga classes.

00:02:38
Speaker 2: Oh really.

00:02:39
Speaker 4: Oh well, if it gets to like, let's just sit and talk about your intention for today.

00:02:44
Speaker 5: And oh God, are you intending to you?

00:02:48
Speaker 4: Oh my god, are we? And then like they get too personal, Like there's one teacher I just can't because it's always about her personal journey that she's been on and what happened this weekend, and it's like, no, no, I sorry, Like that's it's not what I'm here for. Oh god.

00:03:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, because yoga is it can it's also a spiritual practice. So maybe if you go to somebody who's leaning a little too heavy onto the spiritual side and you're specifically there for a physical experience, yeah.

00:03:14
Speaker 5: My spiritual talk will will lower my cholesterol at the end of the day.

00:03:18
Speaker 1: So you know, Uh, the instructor I had yesterday would say things like.

00:03:24
Speaker 2: And now slowly lower the reformer back down.

00:03:27
Speaker 1: And every now and then someone would just like drop and you hear all the things, and she'd go or that. I just loved it because there was no like trying to be overly polite.

00:03:40
Speaker 2: It was just really like, you're not doing this right.

00:03:42
Speaker 1: She said to my friend. My friend knows her really well. She said to my friend, she was like, Oh, your form for the upper body stuff is really good. My friend goes, oh, it's just my lower body that.

00:03:55
Speaker 6: Yep.

00:03:56
Speaker 3: Yes, there's a lot of these things opening up near us that are very straight like is it bunda? Yes, yeah, that's that's all just uh stare masters right, which sounds just awful awful.

00:04:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I need to do I need to do something. Oh, Tara producer there, I died.

00:04:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, it opened right near us, and it is it's just you see these women like crawling out of these these classes that are and then there's the other one where you tie a rope to your your waist and it goes all the way to the to the ceiling and you like fly around. Have you see these Wow, that's like anything sit ups and push ups. It's just like I'm gonna fly myself to help.

00:04:37
Speaker 1: I still go to our karate studio twice a week, not during karate time. But my karate instructor, which is a women's class on Wednesdays and Friday mornings.

00:04:46
Speaker 2: So's I've been going Miss Savannah.

00:04:48
Speaker 5: Miss Savannah, who is a badass.

00:04:50
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Miss Savanna heard her knee. Oh no, no, she's going to the doctor today, She's right.

00:04:55
Speaker 1: But anyway, Miss Savannah, I've been going to her class. That's pretty amazing. My my as one of my best friends, Jamie Jewelry, Jamie Jamie friends.

00:05:04
Speaker 2: You have to know ever find jewelry.

00:05:07
Speaker 1: She has gotten really, really in shape over the last couple of years, and she said that when she first went to Bunda, it was so hard she nearly died.

00:05:16
Speaker 2: And now she works out so much. She's like, now Bunda's too easy for me. I can't go to it. It's and I'm like, what, yeah, so I don't know, but I have started working out more.

00:05:24
Speaker 3: I'm going to start the martial arts class again, but I think I'm gonna do MMA this time.

00:05:29
Speaker 2: Wow, It's just the problem was with our karate play.

00:05:32
Speaker 3: No, our karate place was great, it was just it was far away and the class was later at night, and I think I can do an afternoon class at the MMA.

00:05:39
Speaker 4: Is going to be all grappling, though, aren't you just going to be like on the ground like?

00:05:43
Speaker 5: But that's what they say.

00:05:44
Speaker 3: The whole the whole premise of MMA is nine out of ten fights and on the ground anyway, So take them down first and getting in fights.

00:05:50
Speaker 4: Do you need to learn how to fight or exercise.

00:05:53
Speaker 5: All the time? I do? I don't.

00:05:55
Speaker 3: I would curl into a ball and just be No. I want the exercise, But I also like the skill. I like the I like the kind of the tactician side of it. It's like human chess, which I think is.

00:06:04
Speaker 5: Kind of cool.

00:06:04
Speaker 2: But to get into the octagon.

00:06:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.

00:06:07
Speaker 3: I always tell Sue that if I find myself in the octagon a, I'm going to tap out right in the locker room because that's the easiest way to do it.

00:06:16
Speaker 5: But also something horribly has gone wrong.

00:06:20
Speaker 3: If I need to fight in the octagon in any way, shape or form, it just that's not going to work.

00:06:24
Speaker 5: I could see you as a fighter.

00:06:25
Speaker 2: Writer, I know you could see writer as a fighter.

00:06:30
Speaker 4: No, all I would do is cry and never give up. That's that I mean. I would be the I would be if anybody like punches me or like I'm like, I'm going to kill you, and I would just be crying.

00:06:42
Speaker 5: But why are we doing this?

00:06:43
Speaker 4: I hate now I have to kill you, oh my god. And I wouldn't be able to give up. I would never tap out. Oh my god.

00:06:50
Speaker 3: I always tell Sue, I just have to be fast enough to outrun her from danger and then I'm.

00:06:54
Speaker 5: Fine, And then you're fine.

00:06:55
Speaker 2: That's all you.

00:06:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just got to be faster than my wife.

00:06:58
Speaker 6: And I'm good.

00:07:00
Speaker 2: Welcome tou Pond meets World. I'm Danielle Fischl, I'm right or strong, and I'm Wilfred Dell.

00:07:05
Speaker 5: And if we could just all take a deep cleansing breath. No, just let's talk about ourselves.

00:07:09
Speaker 2: No, a stawn mistay, tell me about your weekend.

00:07:13
Speaker 6: Wekend.

00:07:27
Speaker 1: So during this year gap year, we want to try out some things that we have been meaning to do for the past few seasons, and one of those things is the be Kind Rewind episode. When we have talked with guests many times, we have casually thrown out the idea of certain cast members and writers coming back to recap a specific episode with us get a little more direct about their memories and because we're just barreling through these Boy Meets World seasons, we never got around to it. Well, here we are ready to enroll in college, and there is no better time to try it. Since we first welcomed this guest during season one of Podmeats World, there has been a constant barrage of Instagram comments and emails asking for his return, and we get why we have wanted him to come back just as bad, not only to the podcast, but on this thirty year old sitcom we're watching. Imagine if he just reappeared at Penbrook as Corey's roommate.

00:08:25
Speaker 4: Over the past.

00:08:26
Speaker 1: Two years, we had a few scheduled tape days in the books that either had to be postponed or fell through. But now, during our first pack of be kind Rewind episodes, we knew we had to invite him back and go a little deeper into his character for a second look. He has chosen season one, episode twelve, Once in Love with Amy, which debuted on January seventh, nineteen ninety four, and it's obvious why he chose it. Stuart Mingus sure does shine in it.

00:08:54
Speaker 2: So hold the plane.

00:08:56
Speaker 1: It's finally time to welcome back our good friend Lee Norris.

00:09:05
Speaker 5: You good to see you.

00:09:08
Speaker 7: Is everybody safe, yes, thank you.

00:09:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're all pretty lucky.

00:09:12
Speaker 5: We all kind of die very lucky. Yeah.

00:09:14
Speaker 7: Good. I'm so glad. It's been you know, nothing like being there but frightening to watch from afar and wonder about your friends.

00:09:20
Speaker 2: So yeah, I know. And how are you in North Carolina?

00:09:25
Speaker 7: We're good, We're good. So you know, I'm sure where Jackie is in the western part of the state is where most of that yeah station was, So we're in the center part of the state.

00:09:34
Speaker 2: So okay, so you were also safe from that as well. Okay, So right now.

00:09:39
Speaker 4: We've done disaster check out.

00:09:42
Speaker 7: Now we can laugh, right.

00:09:45
Speaker 1: So, Lee, we asked you to pick any episode to break down, and you picked Once in Love with Amy, and so I want to give our listeners a little bit of a recap. In this episode, Corey learns a lesson when he and his older brother suspect their mother is having an affair. Meanwhile, at school, Corey and his classmates face a difficult math problem. It was directed by David Traynor and it was written by Ken Kuda. So, without giving too much away about your thoughts of the recent viewing, why did this episode come to mind for you.

00:10:17
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:10:17
Speaker 7: Well I was first surprised when I got the email to come back. I thought, boy, they're really taking their time moving through this series. One deep dive and I can't It was really really really cool if you guys asked me to come back and talk about something. So yeah, I was thinking about, you know, about all the episodes, and I remember most of them, but this is one that I think kind of sticks out in my mind. Certainly I had more to do as a character in this episode, Danielle. You were in it, which is always yeah. Plus yeah, and there was more about the behind the scenes kind of that I remember that.

00:10:54
Speaker 3: We'll go but well, you were laugh out loud funny. I mean like it's funny, yes, which might be the first time it happened in the series.

00:11:06
Speaker 5: In the series, yeah, I think, so yeah, did.

00:11:09
Speaker 6: I need Boy?

00:11:10
Speaker 7: Did I need it? I'll tell you.

00:11:11
Speaker 1: Really, Okay, I can't wait to get into it because you are just such a star in this episode.

00:11:17
Speaker 5: It's good, so amazing.

00:11:18
Speaker 4: Really tell that they were just loving it too. We have to write to this and then just kept giving you new levels.

00:11:25
Speaker 8: It's so funny.

00:11:26
Speaker 7: It was fun. It was a fun art.

00:11:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.

00:11:29
Speaker 1: So this was your twelfth episode out of the twenty three you appeared in, and we made you watch it for us again today. What were your feelings when you first encountered watching a little Lee on screen.

00:11:42
Speaker 7: Oh? Well, first of all, you didn't make me, but I will say this. This, This is you know, Kim about at an interesting time. You guys know, I have a six year old son at home. You know, we live in North Carolina, and so we haven't really had this conversation with him yet. Of oh Dad was on TV. It really come up, and you know he's he loves Netflix and Disney and you know, watching the shows. Danielle. I think we've talked about Bluie more.

00:12:09
Speaker 5: Times than Oh.

00:12:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, he loves all of that.

00:12:12
Speaker 7: And so I he's getting to the age now at six where I think he's starting to realize when we go out and sometimes people ask for a picture with dad, Okay, maybe that's not totally normal.

00:12:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not happening to other kids parents maybe not.

00:12:26
Speaker 7: So I thought, okay, this is a good time to talk about it. So he actually sat down and watched the episode with me, and it was really so that I just kind of want to set the stage a bit. It was really kind of surreal and cool because.

00:12:40
Speaker 1: This is the first time you've ever watched any of your work with your son.

00:12:44
Speaker 7: It's probably yeah, it hasn't watched Yeah, he hasn't watched One Tree Hill later, but so, yeah, this is a really cool moment. And you know, God, did you ever think like back? I mean, we were kids.

00:12:59
Speaker 2: It's just you couldn't have imagined it.

00:13:02
Speaker 7: I just couldn't wrap my brain around it. So that was really cool. And then second was and I'm sure you've talked about this at length, but to just identify so much with Alan and Amy more so now with Corey and Minkus in the gas at the table, it is just surreal. So I don't know how interesting that is to listeners, but for me, it was a trip to do that.

00:13:25
Speaker 3: And I'm sure you guys are, well, you're not that much older in the episode than your son is now. I mean, when you think about it, you're really not that much older. So it's oh man, it's so weird.

00:13:34
Speaker 4: I got to jump in and say I put this episode on and Indy was supposed to go to bed, and he was like, wait, wait, wait is this first season? I was like yeah, and he's like, I want to watch this, and he jumped in and was so excited and laughing so hard. It was like, wow, first season really speaks to Indy. He loves it and he's like, I remember this one and he laughed at every joke, and I was like, wow, I cannot get him to watch the show now, Like he does not want to watch boy Mean's World post season two. It's crazy. Uh, but yeah, So it's really interesting that this just he loved it. He loved Yulie. He just thought you were the funniest thing in the world. And he's like, oh remember this, he time travels, he like remembered everything, and I was like yeah, but yeah, it's like it's so amazing, Like, yeah, the show is. It's a very different show than what we're watching in fifth.

00:14:25
Speaker 3: But it's also, in all fairness to Indie not watching later episodes back in the day, he would have grown up with the show, which you don't do anymore because you just binge everything that's out there.

00:14:36
Speaker 4: But also, I think you could jump into this show never having seen a single episode of Boys World. You could watch this episode and find it just as funny as where we're at right now in season five. If you don't know Corey in Depega's torture history or Sean, you don't know what's going on last year, it really doesn't work as it's so serialized compared to this with season one was like just a classic sitcom. It's funny, the story is so tight. It's yeah, it's great.

00:15:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I think I think it's a testament to you guys and to the show and everybody that the show so layered and took on a different life and kept maintaining that audience and built on it. And how cool to be a part of you know, because I hear from folks all the time. I'm sure you do. They feel like they grew up with you of that aspect. So, yeah, it was cool.

00:15:24
Speaker 1: Well, last time you were here, we basically sang your praises for an hour straight. And in this episode we are absolutely reminded why because Mincus is having a breakdown because he has finally gotten something wrong at school.

00:15:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what do you remember about this week? Lee?

00:15:46
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I remember that, you know, we always started out with a table read. I'm sure you guys have talked to me before we did anything. And I remember going into the table read excited because I had a good I felt like a good story. I remember Michael laughing, everybody happy. Uh this big scene, you know where I come in and have the breakdown. Well at table reads, so that's always what you want, because you know, we were trained to like listen for the laughs and then we're like, yeah, maybe our part will stay in. Yes, you were one of the peripheral characters, right, you weren't Corey or whatever. So yeah, so that was all good. And then I guess the next big event would have been we would have had some rehearsal and then I think producer run through.

00:16:25
Speaker 2: I guess would have yeah, Monday.

00:16:26
Speaker 7: Monday, and so I think that's where things started to fall apart. We had the producer run through, and I have that scene where I come in and have the meltdown in the kitchen. In the kitchen, yeah, and I did not hear Michael laughing, And instead what I heard was a lot of scribbling of pencil on the stone. Did I just figure you? And this moment.

00:16:51
Speaker 2: The pencil on the paper and the foot the.

00:16:53
Speaker 5: Footshake, silence, and then the pencil on the paper.

00:16:55
Speaker 6: That's it.

00:16:56
Speaker 5: It's the worst combination.

00:16:57
Speaker 4: And no one else will laugh. If Michael's not laughing, they all check with him, and if he's scribbling and not laughing, none of the other writers would laugh.

00:17:05
Speaker 7: And that was so frustrated, Right, that's exactly right. It was like I felt like I knew once he wasn't going that that I was.

00:17:12
Speaker 2: No one else was going to write anywhere.

00:17:14
Speaker 7: Else, so you know, so I sort of was like, all right, we'll see how this goes. The rest of the runthrough goes on, and then we have our note session, and you know, I was talking to my mom about this. Who I have to say last time I saw you. My mom got to see you, and that was so exciting, exciting. But I asked her, I was like, do you remember this? And she's like, oh, yeah, I remember this was you know, this was a tough week. And but she reminded me as a good mom would. Do you know, I'd worked with Michael for three years, two years prior to coming on Boy Meets Rolled on the Torkal Sins, And she said, you know, you never really had a negative note session with him up until this point. And I appreciated that, you know, and I think that's set the stage a bit for why this sort of threw me. But he really it was like a one one way note session for god, I don't know, it was probably only twenty minutes, but it felt like you know too, yeah, not for you, yep, that's right. So but I had not really had that experience with him, and so it really threw me. And as a kid, you check your it checks your confidence a little bit, and so, you know, just went into the Okay, well, I've got to figure out how to make this right. And so went home and just drilling this over and over, working with my mom, trying to find the beats, trying to understand what the notes were. And I couldn't tell you.

00:18:34
Speaker 3: Now, I was just going to say, yeah, I was just going to say, do you remember if the performance was that different during that first run through or not?

00:18:41
Speaker 7: I really don't will I don't know if that's like a self protective mechanism, but yeah, but I don't remember. I mean, I feel like at one point the script either made a reference to or a note was given to me somewhere about maybe it was like Minkus was sort of drunk on you who the chalk Dream and what ended up on the screen is not what I would sort of envision is being drunk on you who. That's not how I would really that. So I don't know if it started out more that way and ended up with kind of this manic episode or what. You know, I don't really remember, but I just know that the network run through was very stressful for me. And it wasn't like someone was coming to me and saying, your job's on the line, but I just felt a pressure that I didn't always feel. And it's one of those times where, now looking back as an adult, I realized like, oh yeah, this was not always fun and games there Definitely, this definitely was a job. There were high expectations, this could be stressful at times. And so when you said, you know, I got the applause break, that sort of speaks to what I was feeling on tape night, which was just so much nerves and emotions and I didn't know if it was going to be what he wanted or not. And I talked to other writers, and other writers weren't really able to verbalize kind of what he was going after. And so, you know, I did it, and when the audience responded the way they did. I felt just a wash of relief because I thought, even if he doesn't like it, they liked it.

00:20:08
Speaker 1: So that night, you know, so when I had my I've talked about my first experience that was like that in my first episode where I the note session was just very much like, well, Danielle, everyone would have to stay here forever if it was going to be about you. But then for me the next day after run through, then in that note session, he told me I had accomplished the goal he had been after, Like there was there was, at least only twenty four hours later a confirmation that I had. I had come close to nailing what he was looking for. You're saying you didn't really get that even through tape night, you weren't sure if you ever really addressed the notes that he wanted.

00:20:47
Speaker 7: I don't remember that.

00:20:48
Speaker 9: No.

00:20:48
Speaker 7: I remember going into tape night and it feeling like a lot of pressure in terms of will I will I will I get what we're going after? And I wanted to because I and I and listen, he's got great instincts and great timing and all of that, so it was important to me to do it right. But you know, it worked out in the end, and I will say, looking back, whether it was his notes or my guts or the mixture of both, it turned into something I'm really proud of.

00:21:19
Speaker 5: And oh, it's so good. It's so good. The whole performance is just.

00:21:23
Speaker 7: I know, it was fun, but the episode as a whole was great and I had so much fun watching you guys and writer. Likewise, my son loved it. He he loved my character, which made me happy. He loved Danielle. I mean, well, I don't know if we're going to go through scene by scene, but he loved you know, your transformation where your ch channeling Giptien mathematician, and I mean he loved it, and it was it was really special to experience that with him.

00:21:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I loved.

00:21:49
Speaker 1: There was so much weird, quirky but natural fun for all of the young actors. Like the scene where you guys were Will and Ben are zipping up the ball.

00:22:02
Speaker 4: In completely breaking.

00:22:05
Speaker 1: But you guys are, and and all that energy you have with that where you run back to the table, the quirkiness of Tapanga channeling the ancient you know, Egyptian mathematician and the turning around and the growling and you know, obviously all the incredible stuff Lee gets to do, like to see that many kids have that much fun in an in a twenty two minute show is really enjoyable.

00:22:34
Speaker 3: We were all also very much our characters, like everybody on the show.

00:22:38
Speaker 5: The parents were perfectly the parents. Feeni was perfectly FIENI, Mincus was perfectly Minkus. Sean was perfectly Sean.

00:22:44
Speaker 3: Like everybody's character was there, and you could really delineate finally between Okay, eric is actually has things to do and is more that more than just kind of girl crazy and Tapanga is the street. I mean, everybody had a clear character and it show.

00:23:00
Speaker 2: It really showed.

00:23:01
Speaker 4: Very It's the note that I took, you know, because I'm still comparing it to like what we're watching now in season five or entering season six, is that the show feels softer now like back then it had more edges, the characters are much more sharper, And I was trying to like figure out what because it's it's it's in the writing, it's in the performances. You know, in some ways it's more elevated, it's more kind of sitcomy and in some ways less realistic. Maybe, But what I realized was like, oh, you know what's happening is that there there are bits and scenes that describe the characters as opposed to characters creating bits. Does that make sense? It was like it was like we were defining our characters by seeing them go through things, and so they were writing to like what would be so funny is if this kid is so freaked out about getting a bad grade that he's like a drunk, you know whatever, a wreck, and that that describes minkus like letting that as opposed to like, I feel like where Boy Meets World got to was like just a much sort of softer, like sort of like we know who these characters are, so we would like fall into bits they if they happen at all. But this is like just let's present these We know who these people are because of the crazy situations that they're in or the funny lines that they're saying, and that's just a different angles. It's so much easier for like a kid to get into this. It's just immediately funny, it's immediately witty, it's it's really sharp.

00:24:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with all of you.

00:24:30
Speaker 7: I thought too, Like in that first classroom scene where all we're all four of us younger kids are in the scene. That dynamic too, I mean, we were looking for the right dynamic. I remember as a show because you remember the third chair that they kept trying to fill right with another friend, and it seemed like by that point, writer, You've just done such a great job of filling that role that it was like they abandoned finally trying to make that work and just let you carry that weight, which you did so well. And then Danielle, it's like the energy you brought I thought was really great for Mincas too, because it went from being this sort of two on one dynamic with Corey and Sean and Nikis where he sort of felt like the outsider, to oh, here's this other character who's not just like everybody else necessarily, and you know they're all they all have these individual personalities and like you, it was just engaging and fun and my little guy loved it and I did too, So so cool.

00:25:23
Speaker 4: I know.

00:25:24
Speaker 1: I love the idea that for Minkas there was an intellectual rival, but it's with a person who's not trying to at this point, not trying.

00:25:31
Speaker 2: To compete with you.

00:25:32
Speaker 1: It's just somebody who is in a competition with you because we are both on the same grounds intellectually and seeing you like I am not used to this like that, it's such a great dynamic. And just so you know, your name has come up a lot recently, because we recently had a discussion about whether or not we finished season five and we saw the graduation episode where Sepanga is trying to decide she's going to go to Yale and she proposes to Corey, and it has come up a lot. We did a we did an episode where we had some fans leave us voice memos about whether or not they thought Tapega should go to Yale, and someone wrote in with a very uh, very take, very astute take, which is, let's be real here, we're talking about the wrong thing. Let's talk about the fact that Tapega would have never gotten into Yale. She's been in all regular classes with Corey and Sean, and meanwhile, Mincus has been on the other side of the school apparently where the VP classes have been. And they may have the same amount of a's, but mincuses are weighted a's. He would have had the real GPA. He would have been the one to get into Yale. So let's talk about the fact that Tapega shouldn't have.

00:26:46
Speaker 3: Even been exactly she Gotga got into Yale Tech, which is a different school.

00:26:54
Speaker 5: Is a smaller university.

00:26:58
Speaker 7: Underestimated boy meets old fan for sure. No, that's amazing. I love I'm so glad you did graduation. That was a fun one. That was that was fun to come back and pop back in that way.

00:27:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about how amazing it was too that there was that moment when after you get your diploma and you walk back on the stage and there's kind of like this.

00:27:14
Speaker 2: Moment where you're like, am I am I one of you?

00:27:17
Speaker 1: And we get to bring you in for a big bear hug ye and David and Wesley were in the in the on the scene.

00:27:26
Speaker 2: With us as as professors. So cool. Yeah, So do you remember this week we.

00:27:31
Speaker 1: Talked You talked a lot about getting those notes for Michael. Do you remember then working with David trainor a lot. Did David then work with you on what he thought Michael's notes were?

00:27:42
Speaker 7: You know, that's a great question. I love David. We had a great working relationship. He was a great director. I felt like David always understood that he was there to try to help us, and I think, you know, I'm sure he tried to help me stay positive. Yeah, but I think he and I both knew that ultimately the direction was going to come from Michael, you know. So that's what I remember about that. One other thing that my mom mentioned, which I was glad she remembered because I didn't, was She said that after everything I think had gone well on tape night or at some point during the run of this, after the note session that was tough, Bill Daniels came to me and gave me some encouragement. And you know, Bill is just was the consummate professional, but he's not I wouldn't have said he was always the most fuzziest and I wasn't in a negative way at all, extremely professional and respectful, but I know that for him to come and say something to me would have meant a lot. My mom remembered that especially, so Yeah, so that was very cool to him.

00:28:52
Speaker 3: That's why those moments with him were so special because they were so rare, and you're right, he was. He was a wonderful guy and always ago you know, he was never mean any of that out but to actually put an arm around you and give you an adda boy.

00:29:05
Speaker 5: That meant so much because it just didn't happen a whole lot.

00:29:08
Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, Yeah, it's so crazy, how you know, like you said, that wasn't normal for Bill, so you'd think there'd be no chance you would have forgotten it. But the protective mechanism that whatever went into you from that week, there was so much pressure you felt.

00:29:29
Speaker 7: Well at an age, Yeah, that's true.

00:29:32
Speaker 2: True, that's true.

00:29:33
Speaker 1: We've got thirty years to forget it, but it is true that, like when you know, what really stands out for you was the feeling of whether it came from external sources or even just that internal desire to appease that we had as kids.

00:29:47
Speaker 2: That's what That's what weighed so heavy.

00:29:50
Speaker 1: In your mind, is whether or not you were going to do it, whether or not you were capable.

00:29:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah.

00:29:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well the tag is one of the craziest of our entire series, especially with the special effects and no laugh track. What are your memories of this tag where you were gonna disappear multiple times.

00:30:14
Speaker 7: When it popped up, I'd honestly forgotten about it, and oh yeah, I think this is and I again was watching with my son. So when I disappeared, he was like, wait, did you really disappear? Like so he's like, how did you do that? So that was pretty cool. No, I just remember, first of all, I had a lot of questions. I was like, did I write all that? Because it sort of looks like my handwriting, but I couldn't reach that high there's yours and he's like jumping out.

00:30:39
Speaker 2: I know, it's so cute.

00:30:41
Speaker 7: There's no way I wrote all of that, and so thank you to our fantastic crew that I'm on.

00:30:47
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, it was probably Mark Pobson.

00:30:50
Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you Mark. Yeah, it was really fun. I I you know, this whole thing for me again, just like looking back on it and to kind of build on what you were saying, Danielle, Like, I felt really lucky at this point, especially when things were sort of solidifying, to be a part of an ensemble show. Those are the kinds of shows that I grew up loving and watching, like a lot of the TGIF shows, you know. But I just felt so great. It was fun for me to do my little part and and like have a place in it, and for you all you're you know and will like watching you and this show. You had so many one liners that that I just loved, and everybody was doing their thing and I just loved that kind of synergy and being a part of that. And I remember, you know, as much as there are memories that are not so fun to think about, there's also that which is really really cool to look to ick and feel like I got to be a part of that for a while.

00:31:47
Speaker 2: So yeah, so much fun.

00:31:50
Speaker 3: I need to shout at one moment because as much as I loved you coming in and almost seeming like you were drunk on you who and that thing was hysterical, just getting up and walking out of the classroom in the beginning and just as you're wiping by camera, where are you going.

00:32:03
Speaker 5: Nurse, were just oh god, it was not It was just.

00:32:07
Speaker 3: Perfectly timed and your face is ashen as you're walking by.

00:32:11
Speaker 7: It was just such a wonderful comedy moment. And I and again shout out to our our great crew because in the mannic scene that the hair and wordrobe so much of the.

00:32:22
Speaker 5: Work shaking like you're detoxing. It was well that I remember.

00:32:26
Speaker 7: I remember like I was looking at it and I could see the individual hairs like shaking as I was grabbing party, and I remember like my like my neck tensing up, and my neck had been the size of a like golf club, you know, so funny, it was just it.

00:32:41
Speaker 1: Was it was Do you remember doing the like the war like? Do you remember them messing up your wardrobe? Did you have to do a hair a hair test for it?

00:32:50
Speaker 2: Do you remember any of that?

00:32:51
Speaker 7: You don't remember a test, But I just I I remember leaning into it and I felt I gotta go for it, go, you know, go broke or go home.

00:32:59
Speaker 4: And it was just this the drunk you who? Because I remember a drunk on you who thing too? Was it? Ye? It was it in the original script and they cut it out?

00:33:06
Speaker 7: Or was that just I have to I'm sure I've got the old scripts. I'd have to go back and look, but I don't know. I don't I don't remember another instance this season where anything like that happened. So whether that was in there and they took it out, or whether that was a note that was delivered, you know.

00:33:22
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.

00:33:23
Speaker 3: I'd just like to point out to my two best friend. I know that Lee just said that he probably has the scripts. You didn't give many for that, But I say, I've got the scripts and that's all I hear.

00:33:34
Speaker 5: It's all you don't throw anything away, you don't throw it. So just I'm with you, Lee, I'm with you.

00:33:40
Speaker 7: Hey. You know, someday they'll they'll they'll be worth something.

00:33:43
Speaker 1: I don't, yeah, exactly, so they are.

00:33:46
Speaker 4: I know.

00:33:46
Speaker 1: Had I thought about it at all in the sense of like what will mean something to me in thirty years, I would probably still have mine too. Yeah, But at the time I just didn't want the stuff. But it's true that I wish I wish I had more. Was there anything that you cringed about when you watched? Was there anything that you thought like, ooh, I don't like that, or I wish I did that differently?

00:34:08
Speaker 7: Sure, Yeah, I mean I think that's human nature, especially as a performer, to look with a critical eye. But you know, also to remind myself I was a kid.

00:34:17
Speaker 2: But yes, I.

00:34:18
Speaker 7: Think in the first scene where I go in the classroom, where I go and I explain the math problem to Corey, I just noticed there was a lot of hands going.

00:34:29
Speaker 2: On, finger wagging.

00:34:33
Speaker 5: A lot of that.

00:34:33
Speaker 4: Happening is the He's always pointed, have you ever guys never noticed that no, watch Harrison Ford every the Ford finger, that's the fore finger. Harrison Ford finger always comes out. So you could.

00:34:45
Speaker 5: Call me good.

00:34:46
Speaker 7: I feel less, yeah, less crazy. You know, there's stuff like that. But you have to look back and remind yourself that you're a kid. I mean, you guys, I don't know how you do it. Week after week. I would be very self conscious looking back and analyzing everything, and I think you just have to remember, like, this is not look in the grand scheme of the world. It's not like these jobs are hard, but it's easy to be difficult on yourself, and you know, it's it's easy to pick it apart.

00:35:12
Speaker 2: But yes, for sure. So you watch the show with your son.

00:35:17
Speaker 1: Do you see any of your son in little twelve year oldly?

00:35:22
Speaker 7: Oh my god, you guys, it's you know, what's so funny is one day in his room, you know, I don't know, my wife and I were getting ready for bedtime or something, and he was looking at his books. We always do story time at night. And this was before he'd seen Boy Meets World. But I can't even tell you what he was saying. But eventually I just heard him at you know, out of the corner of my ear, say, according to my calculations, and.

00:35:48
Speaker 4: I was just, oh, man.

00:35:51
Speaker 7: I don't know if I ever said that as Minkus, but it's but it's.

00:35:54
Speaker 4: Such a Megus line.

00:35:55
Speaker 7: Yes, and his little voice sound, you know, a lot like mine, and then so cute. Just one of those moments where I frozen was like according to my calculations, I was like, oh my god, Oh my god, oh my god. Yeah, so I see a lot of him, I mean. And and it was interesting too, because you know, he was pointing out he's sick, so he's still a little young that he didn't get everything that was acture in the show. In fact, it either yeah, you know, well, like something would happen that he didn't understand and he'd go. My wife and I were just dying laughing because he just kept happening.

00:36:37
Speaker 4: But he did.

00:36:38
Speaker 7: He did understand a lot of it, and and and and laughed at a lot of the jokes and and the Morgan stuff. He really related.

00:36:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, again, that's an.

00:36:46
Speaker 7: Easy character to take for granted, but when you see a kid seeing that.

00:36:49
Speaker 3: We thought the same thing when we watched the first time around that it was just we were kind of like, wow, Lily's there, and oh she's part of the show, and then you forget that there were kids that she was their favorite character. I mean that's who they were so so.

00:37:02
Speaker 7: But he what was interesting is some some things would happen and he would say, oh, data, that's not kind, right, like somebody, you know, because there's that at six you're trying to eat yea happening, you know, you know, and so we're trying to teach him about kindness, and so I would say, yep, you're you're you're right.

00:37:20
Speaker 2: It's not kind, not.

00:37:22
Speaker 7: Kind, but you know, but also kind of funny and that's.

00:37:24
Speaker 3: Okay if you get the laughs on.

00:37:28
Speaker 5: You don't always need to be kind.

00:37:34
Speaker 4: How crazy is it like to go back for us, like to see Corey is a completely different character. Yeah, Cory is this like kind of conniving like and it's that met me out of trouble, quick talking and like there's none of that like nervous insecurity. It's like he has kid insecurity, but he doesn't have the like anxiety that like has become the hallmark of Corey now Like back then he was like anti anxiety. He was much more like eh nah, mister feenie you don't know crap. You know, he's like this and it's a very it's great. It's a cool character. It's so interesting to see that that's gone, like that is not the Cory anymore. And when did that happen? Second season? Do was it right after?

00:38:17
Speaker 3: For like?

00:38:18
Speaker 4: But it's yeah.

00:38:19
Speaker 1: And we've talked about how they tried to have the best of both worlds with Corey, where sometimes the universe is always going to work out to what he wants, but then in other times he'll say things like, well it because it's my luck. It's going to go to because it's my luck, and it's like, well, what do you mean? Usually you're saying the universe works out for you? But that's season one Corey. Where season one Corey goes, ah, I did this wrong, right because that's my luck. So somewhere along the way he changed, but also occasionally remembers that, yeah, yeah, it is. It is really interesting, Lee, do.

00:38:55
Speaker 3: You remember the actual equation for time travel? Because that would be worth something.

00:39:00
Speaker 4: It'd be good to know.

00:39:00
Speaker 8: You know.

00:39:01
Speaker 7: What's so funny is you know I did I did well in school, but math was by far my worst subject. So the fact when I saw me standing in front of all those calculations, I was like, oh, this is definitely make believe because oh.

00:39:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's one the one thing you draw is clearly not a math.

00:39:16
Speaker 5: Symbol like this scribble or even I'm like, okay, that's just a thing that's not a math symbol, that's doodle.

00:39:23
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:39:24
Speaker 7: I was much more the visual learner, you know. The the Malibu Barbie car and the dolls was much more my excuse.

00:39:31
Speaker 1: So we did talk about this way back when, and I think I had done just a very minor amount of research to figure out if there is actually an answer to this problem. And I did find one. So I don't know if you guys are interested, but there is an answer. So it says in six minutes a'll wash is one car assuming a constant rate of washing in T minutes.

00:39:54
Speaker 2: So we're just going to use a letter T. A'll washes T exactly.

00:39:59
Speaker 1: I'm lost, that's my mom. Then you're adding letters into math.

00:40:04
Speaker 5: I'm out exactly.

00:40:05
Speaker 1: So they turn it into a fraction T over six, So in six in T minutes, al washes T over six of the car, so T sixs of the car.

00:40:16
Speaker 2: Similarly, in T minutes.

00:40:18
Speaker 1: Fred washes t over eight of the car, because Al washes in eight minutes, or Al washes in six Fred washes in eight. If T is the time it takes the two of them, capital T is the time it takes the two of them to wash one car. In that time, Al has washed t over six of the car and Fred has washed washed t over eight of the car. Since they washed one car, capital T over eight plus capital t over six equals.

00:40:43
Speaker 5: One seven minutes.

00:40:47
Speaker 1: The answer equals out to three point four two nine, which means it takes both of them about three minutes and twenty six seconds to wash the car.

00:40:58
Speaker 4: Which is basically what Minkus says.

00:41:00
Speaker 1: He says, he says four and a half right, and he and the way he did his math is that he figured if one is in six minutes and one is in eight minutes, that's twenty five percent faster. So let's just remove twenty five percent off of the total time it took Al.

00:41:16
Speaker 2: But that's not the that's not the equation.

00:41:19
Speaker 1: So it is just interesting that in the show they chose to say the whole point is there really isn't a right answer, But math wise, I guess there really was.

00:41:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, there really was math.

00:41:32
Speaker 3: The other guy is also sleeping with Al's wife, which makes the whole thing different.

00:41:36
Speaker 5: It didn't even bring that into the I mean, there's a lot of math in there.

00:41:40
Speaker 1: But my favorite part of it was that this answer came from Henry Smith and it was on Quora. And then at the end of it, it says, by the way, am I the only one who remembers where this comes from?

00:41:50
Speaker 2: And it has?

00:41:52
Speaker 1: So whoever initially asked the question? This person who answered said I know where this comes from, and they gave credit to Boy Meets World and Lee.

00:42:01
Speaker 3: Can I ask, what what is the mathematical the I guess it would be the word for tea?

00:42:07
Speaker 5: What is T? Do we know what that is?

00:42:10
Speaker 3: Time?

00:42:10
Speaker 5: Is that what it is? So tea is timing time? Okay?

00:42:12
Speaker 2: Yeah? In T minutes time? Yeah?

00:42:15
Speaker 5: Sure, okay, all right.

00:42:18
Speaker 7: Just like we couldn't get the basketball goals, we can't do that. This is why we're.

00:42:21
Speaker 2: After This is why we host a podcast.

00:42:24
Speaker 5: Calculia is a real thing, people, It's a real thing. I'm telling you. Yikes.

00:42:28
Speaker 7: Can I also say to you just justice for Amy and Betsy like she was so criminally under used. So another reason why I love this episode was the fact that she got to you know, it is at least center on her.

00:42:39
Speaker 4: Have a character, have emotions, give a lesson, like one of the few times she gets to teach Corey something. This does not happen after this, like ever, is it not really? I mean, if anything, she's well, I guess she's she's she has lessons in terms of Topanga Kory relationship, like she involves herself in that. But even then she's antagonistic in a way like this is just so nice to see her as like a voice of reason and maturity and you know, it's it's really yeah, it's so nice.

00:43:08
Speaker 3: It's also the thing that's amazing, though, is this episode you picked Lee was chalk full of inside jokes and one liners that we still say bricks, yeah, bricks on Oak Street, la bougie, I mean all the kind of there was like four or five different things that every time I was like, oh my god, these are all.

00:43:24
Speaker 5: From the same episode. Yeah, that brick split level on Oak Street.

00:43:28
Speaker 4: I think it's a pretty classic episode.

00:43:29
Speaker 6: It is.

00:43:30
Speaker 8: It is solid season one episode.

00:43:44
Speaker 1: We haven't spoken to you since we lost David Combs, an instrumental person in Our Boy meets World Lives.

00:43:51
Speaker 2: Did you have any memories or thoughts you'd like to share about David?

00:43:56
Speaker 7: Sure? No, I love David. He was such an interesting guy and haird for us so much. This is really fitting. Actually, you know, I debated whether I'd actually mentioned this or not, but after the note session in this episode, I think it was told to me later that he actually David actually I think how to talk with the producers and said we need to be thoughtful about these note sessions. And you know, I think it was I mean from just a place of let you know, I don't I don't think there was any malicious intent at all from Michael or anything. I think we were all just working really hard to make.

00:44:38
Speaker 6: A great show.

00:44:39
Speaker 5: But you know that is.

00:44:40
Speaker 7: David's role was sort of David's role to not only be a teacher, but to be an advocate for us. And so this is an episode where he actually spoke up and I think said something and kind of helped us all. Remember you know our kids at the end of the day, right, what a great estimate to him, And gosh, I was crushed to hear that we and I didn't get to know him for nearly as long as you all did, but he was. He held a special place for me and always will. So thanks David.

00:45:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yeah, we think about him so much, especially like you said, with these episodes and memories we have then behind the scenes with him. And you're right, the role of the set teacher is not just to give an education, it's also to be an advocate. And it was also, as we've talked about, it was very hard and felt out of place for our parents to be a person to say, can I talk to you about the note session today? Like, yeah, none of our parents would have done that. It wouldn't have been cool, it wouldn't have been well received. It would have been it would have been thought of as being like a problem, but it wasn't from David.

00:45:46
Speaker 2: And so for David to say.

00:45:48
Speaker 7: And I'm sorry to interrupt, but I worked with a lot of studio teachers who were wonderful, but not all the studio teachers would have done that either. I mean a lot of people would have been worried about their jobs or the.

00:46:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, David had no problem speaking truth to power.

00:46:03
Speaker 5: That was that was very yep.

00:46:07
Speaker 4: Not letting the production go five minutes over, No, no, you get grace and he would be standing on set waiting for No. Nine and a half hours. Yeah, kids, they're out of here.

00:46:17
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:46:17
Speaker 5: He's like, this is my job and I take it very very seriously. Yeah.

00:46:20
Speaker 3: We all worked with studio teachers that were not good. Yeah, and that was not David. Yeah or Wesley. They're both phenomenal at what they did. So yeah, think they were. They were in the graduation, did you say that.

00:46:31
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, they're in the cap and gown.

00:46:35
Speaker 3: When I'm singing, i lay across all the studio teachers as I'm singing to Feenie, so they're all like staring at me.

00:46:40
Speaker 5: It was it was really cool to bring them in for the graduation.

00:46:42
Speaker 7: It was really great. Oh I love that.

00:46:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very cool.

00:46:44
Speaker 7: Well, and to sort of continue on with that too with David. This is just coming to me as we're talking about that. But you know, that is something that I really wanted to do. When they asked me to come back to do the graduation, I'm I'm ninety percent sure they did not fly me out from North Carolina. It what do that?

00:47:02
Speaker 2: You flew myself?

00:47:04
Speaker 4: Really, if you want to come back to Boy Meets World, there's a chance.

00:47:08
Speaker 7: I'm wrong. I've been wrong before. My wife will tell you. But I feel pretty I don't know why. I just have this memory of I had. I feel like I had to fly myself out there, and I think they put us off or you know, but it was really important to me. I well, A I was, I was, you know, I thought it was really nice that they asked me to come back, but I wanted to do it. I felt like I needed that sort of sense of closure in a way because I'd never really gotten it yes the first go round, and I wanted to see you guys. And I also felt like for people that watched the show, you know, I still had people that came up to me and remembered the character. So I thought, well, maybe this will be nice too. If yeah, I set off for him, and I didn't know if the show would was ending or what, you know at that point. And I remember too coming back and David saying to me, you know we he basically told me again in a kind way like that. There was a moment of kind of mourning that I didn't continue on, and that was really appreciated too, because I didn't know that, you know, I mean, i'd been I'd been a part of other shows where people had left and you as an actor just have to pick up and move on.

00:48:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, people who were on the remaining on the show.

00:48:17
Speaker 7: You can't dwell and you don't always know what the reasons are or what happens. And so to come back and have him say that was something that I needed to hear and was very nice again speaking to him, and also just nice in the long long run to have men.

00:48:34
Speaker 3: It was always strange how we were spoken to, because it was like the higher ups a lot of times would have no problems telling us what we were doing wrong or how maybe it didn't go well or how we had to change this. But we were never talked to as adults when it came to ideas for our stories for the show or characters that weren't brought back. We've talked about how we didn't know you weren't coming back. We didn't know Tony Quinn wasn't coming back. We didn't know that Lily nick Say was going to be replaced. I mean, we weren't never told any of that.

00:48:58
Speaker 4: So it was hunger games man Like I remember just being like, oh, wow, maybe Lee's not coming back, but at least I'm still here.

00:49:05
Speaker 3: You know.

00:49:05
Speaker 4: He's always always feeling like, oh, you know when I didn't get fired by episode four, because kids were getting fired.

00:49:12
Speaker 9: Kids were getting fired constantly. When you talk about this note session, that was a very real thing. Like, you know, I think if anything, we probably felt threatened by you because you would work with Michael before you were. Also he had more security as far as like I was concerned, you know, because it was like, well, Michael likes Lee, and you know, Lee's always going to be here.

00:49:32
Speaker 4: And then it's like next season, dodge that bullet. I didn't get fired and Lily's gone, and you know whatever. It was like, and we just felt wrateful and like, yeah, it was Lord and Fly. It was totally just like I'm still here and like in retrospect, God, that's kind of messed up, Like I don't know.

00:49:48
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:49:49
Speaker 7: Well, and my wife pointed out very astutey also that really what was going on in this episode was a parallel of what I was going through as an actor. I mean it was like the first time that I'd sort of gotten it really wrong right in the teacher's eyes, you know, and was like thrown for a loop and basically almost exactly what he was going. I know.

00:50:10
Speaker 1: It's like when we saw you last it was in your hometown of North Carolina. You came out to our live show and the place absolutely erupted, and then we got to see you at nineties Con. Have you felt the love from the Boy Meets World fan base in this era of nostalgia?

00:50:29
Speaker 7: Oh, my god, of course it's incredible. I mean, you know, it's it's that truly, you know, we we look at some of these things, right, we talk about like the negative aspects, but but what what an adventure and a ride love that we're We're really, i think fortunate to be a part of a show that that that people feel genuine love for and that they want to you know, that they want to come up and say something, or that they'll listen to a podcaster, come out to a live show and during North Carolina. You know, it's yeah, it's amazing. So I'm grateful, absolutely, It's it's a good feeling. It makes me feel like at the end of the day, you know, obviously this was a dream something I always wanted to do. It was like I was doing this for any noble reasons, but to have had some kind of effect on people as a great feeling totally and I love it, Yes, and I feel very lucky. And you guys are very kind to invite me to your show. And I guess I jumped a gun earlier when I mentioned it, But my that was so special. You know, my mom hadn't seen you guys in over twenty years, and she was really with me every day on the set, So yeah, it was just such a cool moment for me to see that and for her to get to see you guys, and yeah, it's it was touching, It was fun.

00:51:43
Speaker 1: It was so great to see your parents and always always so much fun to see you. I hope we get to see you again, whether it's at another nineties con or I don't know. You know, we've kind of paused our live shows, but we we adore you. You know how we feel about you. Every time we see you, it's a joy, and we keep coming up with formats still going into season six, just to talk.

00:52:05
Speaker 7: To you, you guys, you know chance we have. Yeah, Well, thank you thank you for having me. Love to all of your families.

00:52:13
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for being with us.

00:52:14
Speaker 7: Lee, We love you.

00:52:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you too. Bye bye.

00:52:21
Speaker 2: I love that he got to watch it with his son.

00:52:24
Speaker 5: Oh god, it's so fun.

00:52:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a new era because I mean, yeah, so when we started the podcast in.

00:52:28
Speaker 2: He was seven, right, and he was ten now yeah.

00:52:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm so curious if India is because now his friends are watching it, watching and I think it's really around one. Yeah, it's like nine through eleven that the kids really I think start.

00:52:48
Speaker 5: And it's on free Form now too.

00:52:50
Speaker 3: I think I heard somebody last night between like midnight and two am or something like that.

00:52:54
Speaker 2: Well, and he's not watching it, then.

00:52:56
Speaker 5: He might be that kid's got a rich social life. You never know.

00:53:01
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, I told you that.

00:53:03
Speaker 1: The one time Adler said he wanted to watch it, we had turned on Disney Plus and it had been we had just watched it for the for the rewatch and so it was like on the main screen and he was like, what's that. I said, Oh, it's a show called Boy Meets Rolled. He was like, let's watch it, and I said okay, and I put it on. I put it on Corey's Alternative Friends and I got to the scene where you see me and I was like, that's mommy is a little girl. And he's like, uh, he's watching it for a little bit and he's like, all right, this is boring.

00:53:29
Speaker 2: I want to watch something else. But he was only like three at the time.

00:53:32
Speaker 1: I'm like, I got I can't wait till I'm not gonna not gonna test it again. I want to wait till he's a little older and then and then.

00:53:39
Speaker 2: See when he likes it. I can't I can't wait for that moment.

00:53:41
Speaker 3: So, uh, season one again. I think at the end of the day, season one and season four it's a toss up for which one was was better. You could also argue they are two phenomenal seasons from two different television programs.

00:53:55
Speaker 5: I think so yeah, I mean exactly, you know, so yeah? Who knows? But great? Great.
