Speaker 2: No, stop trying to make that happen.

00:00:24
Speaker 1: No, I don't even know what that is. We did this already, didn't We wasn't not a thing.

00:00:28
Speaker 3: I've got the movie. Do you want to bring back I've got the boom.

00:00:31
Speaker 4: I want to bring back Cat's pajamas and Bee's knees.

00:00:35
Speaker 3: I say all the time, Well, but nineteen twenties.

00:00:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I say that all the time, do you. Yeah, I really do.

00:00:44
Speaker 4: I also help me.

00:00:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very easy.

00:00:46
Speaker 3: But I also can help you.

00:00:47
Speaker 5: I say those things, but I also will say things like, well if I had my druthers, and so I love I love all these.

00:00:54
Speaker 1: Well, writer, I don't mind to remember you and having phrases from your childhood well around.

00:01:04
Speaker 3: Yes, oh my god, I'll never forget. Will when you when you finally made it to Sebasta bull By Hometown, that's the first thing you did when you stepped out of the car.

00:01:11
Speaker 4: You screamedrofty.

00:01:15
Speaker 3: But no. That is a perfect example of why you can't force language like phrases like the only the only way things they happen organically. You can't like like if I was around. If I was hanging out with you and you were like, man, that's just the cat's pajamas, I would be like, oh, that's so put on right all the time, but maybe you really really do.

00:01:35
Speaker 5: I'll say it like, I'll be like, well, I don't know, he thinks she's the bee's knees, Like you know, I'll just I just throw it in or else. And you know, I don't know. I don't know that cat's pajamas feels as natural. I do say it occasionally, but bee's knees.

00:01:48
Speaker 2: I I love saying.

00:01:50
Speaker 4: I didn't think I could love her respect you more. Danielle and I do. We do because you're the cat's pajamas.

00:01:56
Speaker 5: It's not quite as cool as Riz, but you know we're working on it. Can you explain for our dear listeners who are now all going to be using strofty bright, can you please explain what strofty bright?

00:02:07
Speaker 3: I have no idea, well I do. This was my one of my old friends. I'm still good friends with Ocean. He said it one day. I don't know what we were doing. He was like, Oh, that's so cool, that's strafty bright. I don't know what we were he was referring to or what. But I was like, what did you just say? And he said, strofty bride, I don't know, And he had just made up this word to describe something as really cool, and so we started saying it to you know, and I decided, I guess that I was going to introduce this to the vocabulary, and so I started saying it on this set.

00:02:38
Speaker 4: I can't force season one exactly.

00:02:41
Speaker 3: That's the boy.

00:02:41
Speaker 4: We couldn't make Strofty break stick.

00:02:45
Speaker 3: So you guys still lessly made fun of me for trying to introduce strafty Bride into.

00:02:49
Speaker 5: Also, like we've joked, writer hates the Genevia Brieves, Like I remember conversations about writer being like, no, no one calls it san fran can't call it San Fran.

00:03:00
Speaker 3: No, it's probably Frisco because everybody, OK, yeah, but Frisco. But it's just notorious a non San Franciscans call it Frisco.

00:03:08
Speaker 2: But you also don't like gualwk.

00:03:11
Speaker 3: I don't like, I hate. I'm hand. If you're Australian or English, I'll take brecky although, but if you're not, if you're American, no, don't say this.

00:03:21
Speaker 1: Nothing makes me viscerally angry, like hearing the word delish, I.

00:03:26
Speaker 5: Agree when you said it now, I really It's also my thing with like abbreviations is it's just really not that much less delish.

00:03:43
Speaker 6: It's just the the US is.

00:03:47
Speaker 4: A kado kado is what's stopping you from finishing this.

00:03:51
Speaker 3: Isn't it weird that, like, of all the like phrases, dude has stuck around as much as it has, Like, dude's been around I think since like the the a teen but like when we were okay, so we were teenager, like rad was still okay to say, but that didn't stick around. But you like is now in everything we say, like all the time, even if you're not just from California and like it and like dude. And the thing about dude is like now at this point, like basically my wife and I have to stop each other from calling each other.

00:04:22
Speaker 2: Dude, right right, because what you call everybody?

00:04:26
Speaker 3: Everybody? Hey listen, dude.

00:04:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's true. I think didn't that start with the cowboys? Wasn't that a cowboy thing?

00:04:33
Speaker 2: I think it was ranch?

00:04:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think that's I think that's the genesis of that word. But I mean it's the beast knees.

00:04:42
Speaker 4: Don't do it, man, don't do it.

00:04:46
Speaker 3: Do you think any of our listeners do you think any of our listeners noticed that Dedie di Stefano had an English accent on just one word we got you did.

00:04:56
Speaker 2: Can't you can't? Can't You have to be clear what you're saying?

00:05:00
Speaker 3: Writer?

00:05:02
Speaker 4: No?

00:05:02
Speaker 7: No?

00:05:03
Speaker 3: Oh yes. I was like, what I can't do that?

00:05:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't.

00:05:08
Speaker 3: And she used to laugh at herself about it. She'd be like, I know it's my.

00:05:12
Speaker 5: Thing, but do you remember David Combs, My my one of my favorite things about David Combs was that he also had some English phrases because his wife was English.

00:05:21
Speaker 2: David Combs studio teacher, David.

00:05:23
Speaker 5: Combs the reason any of us have a brain in our head. And I had, you know, Easter. We used to get Easter baskets, apparently all the way up until I was way old to be getting Easter baskets because I was on Boys World as a teenager. But I came back from from Easter break and was we were talking about what we did. Yes, the Easter Bunny brought me a bathing suit, as the Easter Bunny did every Easter because it was feeding into summer. So in my Eastern rescue, my easter bunny would give me a bathing suit, and Jesus.

00:06:01
Speaker 3: Obviously after three days, gave you a bathing suit.

00:06:04
Speaker 4: Okay, okay.

00:06:06
Speaker 5: So I told David Combs and I got a bathing suit and he said, oh, you got avolving costume.

00:06:16
Speaker 2: And I was like, sure, evolving costume.

00:06:21
Speaker 6: I've never called him evolving costume, but I have never gotten over it.

00:06:27
Speaker 5: I will now only refer to bathing suits as bolving costumes.

00:06:31
Speaker 3: This is also the person who said, oh, you're attracted to power when you said you like David Letterman, Yeah, And I was like, David Combs was the king of the one liners that could devastate you or change your life. And just like he would just say things and walk away. Remember you would always be eating popcorn. Yeah he's just sitting there eating popcorn and he couldn't okay. So David was just a genius. His IQ was like through the roof. He spoke seven languages, and he would just have these moments where he would say something he was so he was so confident and so cocky about his intelligence and he had no problem just being the smartest person in the room and letting everybody know it, which led to some pretty hysterical encounters. I have so many memories. I actually went to England and France with him between I guess probably the break after this season. It was between second and third. Yeah, I spent We spent three weeks. Yeah. Well, we went and his mother in law because his wife was from England, so we stayed with his mother in law outside of London. But then we went to France. All the French workers were on strike, which is surprising, so we couldn't go to any of the museums because the Ministry of Culture went on strike while we were there, so we were stuck in France with nothing to do. But yeah, I mean he was just amazing and we went and saw We saw like two plays a day. I saw my first ballet I saw. Yeah, he was such a huge influence on my life. But man, he would say these things.

00:07:53
Speaker 4: France isn't known for their museums.

00:07:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love the idea of culture strike. By the way, cultures. Well, welcome to Pod meets Cat's Pajamas. I'm Danielle Fischel.

00:09:03
Speaker 2: Yay.

00:09:04
Speaker 5: So we are going to recap an episode with you, which I am so excited about. But we we did have two things we wanted to bring up to you since the last time you were here. First is that we got a lot of emails about this. When we interviewed you, you said you had two favorite memories from the show. We talked about your first, and then we all just kept talking and we never got to your second.

00:09:34
Speaker 3: First, what was his first favorite memory?

00:09:35
Speaker 2: Well, let's let's play the clip. I have a clip for you.

00:09:38
Speaker 7: Okay, my favorite memory of the show I can watch. There's two of them and it's a tie. The first one is the scene where you're trying to get Danielle and you're hiding in the couch.

00:09:56
Speaker 2: That was it.

00:09:57
Speaker 3: That was it?

00:09:57
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, okay, yeah, I are we talking about my favorite like moments from the show that.

00:10:05
Speaker 8: That okay, Uh.

00:10:08
Speaker 7: My second favorite moment was probably the episode where you guys there's a murderer. Oh yeah, yeah, the scream episode and uh it was you guys were all in the hall and it was Will was there and he came in and screamed and he's like, oh my.

00:10:31
Speaker 8: Ball, somebody gives it back to me and he goes, oh.

00:10:38
Speaker 7: Thank you.

00:10:40
Speaker 2: And the most Will thing that.

00:10:44
Speaker 7: Was the Those two moments for me were hilarious. So you guys all together like that, absolutely hilarious.

00:10:52
Speaker 5: Okay, good well, everyone was dying to know that we okay, we have a real tendency to just run right over it.

00:11:01
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

00:11:04
Speaker 5: Okay, I have another one for you, Tony. This is from the episode Sister Teresa. During the recap, we noticed a very funny reaction from you. It's a sound basically, and Will said he thinks it might even have been like an inside joke between the two of you, and that what you said the way you said it may have been a reference to a movie or a TV show or something.

00:11:29
Speaker 2: So let me play the clip for you.

00:11:32
Speaker 5: And there's there's a little bit of a setup from Joey Durrat letting you know, someone may have messed with your bike.

00:11:39
Speaker 4: You you missed a Turner.

00:11:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, jennetbub wants to see you down in the parking lot someone about his truck running over your motorcycle my bike.

00:11:51
Speaker 4: This was just a little did you not do? Like the Kurt Russell right there?

00:12:00
Speaker 8: I think it was something to do with that you touch.

00:12:03
Speaker 9: Me and.

00:12:06
Speaker 1: Exactly it was. I knew it when we recapped it. I was like, Tony did that for me? Was one take that was just for me? Okay?

00:12:18
Speaker 4: I Oh, I knew it.

00:12:23
Speaker 3: I knew it.

00:12:24
Speaker 2: Oh man, I love it. I love it. Okay.

00:12:29
Speaker 5: So, lastly, going deeper into season two, we have noticed what we are lovingly referring to as Turner's ties. It seems like every episode you have a more outlandish, like almost spray painted tie.

00:12:45
Speaker 4: Do you free like three an episode?

00:12:48
Speaker 5: Do you remember anything about the ties? Did you and Sarah talk about them? How much input did you have? Tell us everything you can about the Turners ties.

00:12:56
Speaker 7: I didn't really have any input. I just kind of I just kind of took what she gave me. So each particular tie was like more outlandish or more crazy. I was like, hey, I'm just gonna go with it.

00:13:10
Speaker 8: Why not? Like what the heck?

00:13:11
Speaker 2: So cool?

00:13:12
Speaker 3: So it was never a conversation. You were never like she never said we're going to do this as.

00:13:16
Speaker 4: A oh wow, that's so loud because it's.

00:13:19
Speaker 3: So clearly a bold choice. Every time it's like really bold.

00:13:23
Speaker 9: And did you decide on the enormous belt buckles or was that also Sarah?

00:13:28
Speaker 7: Oh?

00:13:28
Speaker 8: That was that was just all Sarah just doing what she does. And I'm like, hey, I dig it. I love this.

00:13:34
Speaker 3: I love that we all, almost all of us to a person, was that way with wardrobe? Is that interesting?

00:13:40
Speaker 4: We were all just like I don't know, well, where whatever you tell us to.

00:13:44
Speaker 7: Whatever, because I have no fashion sense. I mean, I like, he's.

00:13:50
Speaker 3: Such an after thing. It's so fun.

00:13:52
Speaker 8: Yeah, I have no idea what works what doesn't work.

00:13:55
Speaker 7: So it's like I rely on them to give me whatever they give me, and I just hope it looks good on me.

00:13:59
Speaker 4: But I'll talk too.

00:14:01
Speaker 1: I like to think that it's because we know that we've worked with so many people that whoever is the head of their department is really good at.

00:14:08
Speaker 4: What they do. Yeah, so it's like, I don't I don't know anything about you for.

00:14:14
Speaker 3: But I got so screwed by that mentality as an actor because really because on a show like Boym's World, that was certainly the case, like we were, we had the best makeup and hair people ever. You know, these people not only were great at the like the actual application of their job, they had an amazing taste that was partly wonder why they were hired. It's because they were up on trends. They knew what was happening. When you're doing an indie film in North Carolina in two thousand and four and they've hired like the local hairstylist to be the haircutter, you can't trust that person. And like I've had so many I walked into so many situations as an actor being like, oh no, they'll make me look good and guess what they did. They they don't know what they're doing. And so it's very helpful for actors to have their own sense and to know when to step in and when to step back, and like on a show like Boy metsor we had top notch Hollywood experts, but like on so many other situations, I've been and they didn't know what they were doing, and I would be screwed by having that sort of like shave my face, do whatever, make me look, you know, I had.

00:15:15
Speaker 7: I had one situation like that where I was on the TV show.

00:15:18
Speaker 8: I can't remember which show it.

00:15:21
Speaker 4: Was, Yeah, it was it was a network show.

00:15:27
Speaker 5: Really.

00:15:28
Speaker 7: I sat in the trailer and the guy did my hair and like you rider, like you say, just hey, do whatever you want to do.

00:15:35
Speaker 8: And when he was done.

00:15:36
Speaker 7: I looked in the mirror and I was like, there's no way I I'm gonna go on camera with this hair.

00:15:43
Speaker 8: Dude, I don't know what you've done.

00:15:46
Speaker 7: But I just basically said, hey, thanks a lot, and I went back into my trailer and I redid the whole thing, because I.

00:15:51
Speaker 3: Know you have to. There are times I walked. I walked out of the trailer onto the set with my fellow actors, and two of the lead actors in this movie looked at me and just burst out laughing. Stop laughing. And then when they realized that I was that that that that that was serious. There was not a wig that but that I actually they were like no, they it was like we need to fit, like this is a problem. Actually, those two actors ended up leaving the film like two days later. They abandoned the film, and I stayed I should have left with them. But yeah, the haircut was that bad. It was like just instant laughter then complete concern, like, oh god, righter, that's for real, you can't do that.

00:16:31
Speaker 2: Oh oh Wowrie, I.

00:16:34
Speaker 4: Want to see this movie. Yeah.

00:16:39
Speaker 5: Well, let's go ahead and jump into our recap. We are going to recap season two, episode sixteen, Danger Boy.

00:16:46
Speaker 3: What are you shaking your head for?

00:16:47
Speaker 9: Will?

00:16:47
Speaker 4: I hated this episode? Oh my god, I couldnot predict you know what? How did you hate this episode?

00:16:55
Speaker 3: I did not.

00:16:56
Speaker 4: I know why you hated this because of Rusty and Betsy's story.

00:16:59
Speaker 9: You know that actually didn't that wasn't that? That was okay to me.

00:17:03
Speaker 1: I felt like for myself, for my own acting in this episode, I have taken three steps way backwards. And it's because, oh, and I think it was because I did so well in the last episode with the with the hair cutting that now I'm reaching for it. So I was pushing all these moments that just weren't there, and I'm watching this going like this is awful.

00:17:25
Speaker 4: So yeah, I didn't. I oh, I was. I was uncomfortable this entire episode perform, But you're.

00:17:31
Speaker 3: Okay with everything, like storyline wise or the.

00:17:34
Speaker 1: Storyline of of I loved seeing well, we'll get into it, but I love seeing Corey and Feenie back together again, and like all that.

00:17:40
Speaker 4: Stuff felt right.

00:17:41
Speaker 1: At the Betsy and Rusty stuff, I'm now just going, Okay, that's where they're throwing them and I hate that. I'm not going to bring it up anymore. It's just bad sitcom trope. But the but no, I love the rest of it was great. I just my performance I could not get over. I just I felt like I was trying to swing for the fence every time.

00:17:56
Speaker 4: Like, oh, I can make it funny, and it just never worked.

00:18:03
Speaker 8: Yeah, I have to disagree. I just watched it yesterday because I wanted this to be fresh. Now.

00:18:10
Speaker 7: I don't know if this is your guys' experience, but I think I watched this episode when it first aired, but it's been so long that it was literally like I was watching it for the first time.

00:18:24
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, and.

00:18:27
Speaker 3: This is I mean, we'll talk about this, but Will and I always talk about how we never worked together.

00:18:31
Speaker 4: This is a Sean and Eric storyline.

00:18:34
Speaker 3: Neither of us remember, like, yes, together all the time, and like this whole storyline with you, Tony, I don't obviously I wasn't there for it, but I didn't remember it. I remember the roller coaster, I remember to ask it, but I didn't remember why it was there, like or any any aspect of the storyline. I just remember Ben getting hurt unfortunately.

00:18:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll get into.

00:18:57
Speaker 2: That, all right, so let's jump in.

00:19:00
Speaker 5: The synopsis is that Corey and mister Feenie are fed up with being considered safe and boring, so they decide to find their dangerous sides. It was directed by David Traynor. It was written by Glenn Mercer, and it guest stars Monni Hoffman as Chubby, who's a new actor, Kathy Kinney as Rifkin. She was Mimi from The Drew Carey Show, but this was before she was on Drew Carey.

00:19:29
Speaker 8: I remember that.

00:19:30
Speaker 5: And then McNally's Segal as Tricia Stone, Heidi Lucas as Kim. She's Dina from salute your shorts, and then the first appearance of Mina Suvari as Laura. Mina Suvari play a different character.

00:19:47
Speaker 4: She was Oh, I thought she only did this one.

00:19:49
Speaker 2: No, she was in.

00:19:50
Speaker 5: She was in another episode. She'll come back later. And then we have Terry Crisp as Elvis, Philip Simon as Rodique, and Harley Zumbrum as Swindl. I thought it was interesting that we had a real life Harley on the set, not a Harvey, not a Harvey, but a Harley.

00:20:08
Speaker 2: So to recap, we jump into the Matthew's living.

00:20:11
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, did you already say when this episode aired?

00:20:13
Speaker 2: I did not, Wow, I didn't know anybody paid attention to those things.

00:20:17
Speaker 4: When did you get here?

00:20:20
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to figure out when, because I feel like Mina was was on an episode in like right around my sixteenth birthday, and I'm trying to remember that would have been ninety six, so she was Was she in like the next episode or was it?

00:20:33
Speaker 5: No, this episode originally aired February third, nineteen ninety five, so you have like around a whole year possibly, or maybe if she was around your birthday, you would have been.

00:20:43
Speaker 3: Turning December December. Yeah, it would have been December of this ninety.

00:20:47
Speaker 5: Five, right, So she was going to come back later for the next season, probably season season three. Sorry everybody, I will never forget the date it originally aired. Maybe I already said it and I don't know, but I feel bad. So we opened the show with Eric making out with Kim and I just the scene opened and I went, who is this?

00:21:10
Speaker 2: Who's Tim?

00:21:12
Speaker 4: Me too? And we're like making out on the couch?

00:21:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, didn't remember that at talking about kissing, talking about kissing and just all that kind of stuff, and it started my performance.

00:21:26
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, I'm easing into it.

00:21:28
Speaker 2: This is good.

00:21:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll get into it. But yeah, it was I.

00:21:31
Speaker 2: Thought it was great.

00:21:32
Speaker 5: The two of you were trying to focus on studying for a test. I thought it seemed very natural that you were getting distracted with each other. Eric says they'll have more time to kiss on Saturday, but Kim says she has to spend time with her younger cousin who's out of town. Coming in from out of town, Eric suggests they double date with Corey, who is also thirteen, just like Kim's cousin. Eric says Corey is mature for his age, and right then Corey runs in and pretends he's a fountain as he spits water out of his mouth with one leg up.

00:21:59
Speaker 2: He said he was.

00:22:00
Speaker 4: Also carrying potato chips. I was wondering why.

00:22:04
Speaker 3: I guess it just makes it funnier for his hands to be full, Like, I don't know.

00:22:08
Speaker 5: And I can understand. I think they're trying to include the reality of why was he in the kitchen? Why is sewn upstairs? So he ran to the kitchen to get hip a snack and then realized he was a fountain.

00:22:18
Speaker 2: But I actually thought the fountain bit was very It was very funny.

00:22:21
Speaker 3: It was very funny.

00:22:22
Speaker 2: No one cleans up the water.

00:22:24
Speaker 4: But also why would he go through the livery like we keep coming through.

00:22:27
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously Sean comes here to check out the makeout session, but like there's stairs out of the kitchen.

00:22:32
Speaker 1: So I guess he wanted to show them. The thing that I love is the way that Ben performed it. You could tell he was in the kitchen and he had discovered this thing. I know, like he had obviously been in there and he was like, oh wait, I could be a fountain and also changes dad it was disgusting, like.

00:22:52
Speaker 3: This is something my son would do now eight And I'm like, dude, that's disgusting. Stops it.

00:23:01
Speaker 2: So Corey says he has to show Sean. He runs out.

00:23:04
Speaker 5: Eric changes his mind and says never mind, and then he says, I'll hook your cousin up with the squeegee guy from the gas station down the street.

00:23:12
Speaker 2: By the way, is that kid thirteen?

00:23:16
Speaker 9: I know?

00:23:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, squeegee guy. I don't know.

00:23:20
Speaker 1: There's a lot of strange words in this episode. Squeegee that's always a funny word.

00:23:26
Speaker 4: Strange stuff.

00:23:27
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:23:28
Speaker 5: Kim says they can get together in two weeks once her cousin leaves she's visiting for a long time.

00:23:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the middle of the school year, like you do.

00:23:39
Speaker 5: But Eric says he'll talk to Corey. He'll make sure he's in line for the date. Sean then comes downstairs and Kim asks if he's also thirteen, because her cousin would have a really good time with him, and Eric says he doesn't want to ditch Corey because he's his blood, but then Kim kisses him and Eric says Sean has blood guys, why does this show act like certain kisses are more powerful than unmagicalorceled by.

00:24:07
Speaker 4: Her lyrics to no longer scala?

00:24:13
Speaker 7: Does that go along with squeegee? Well, she did throw you back onto the couch, so that had something to do.

00:24:21
Speaker 2: With I guess yeah.

00:24:22
Speaker 5: I guess it was the force of being pushed against it and then and then a kiss.

00:24:27
Speaker 8: Yeah, anybody does that to me. I'm going to reconsider what I was just thinking.

00:24:32
Speaker 4: I guess maybe, okay, okay.

00:24:34
Speaker 5: I I remember it being that, like we would do these things and it would be like we're making out, we're making out, we're making out, and then like one thing would change, like I put my hand on your shoulder, and now it's like, wow.

00:24:44
Speaker 4: The world is over. Here's my bank account?

00:24:49
Speaker 3: What? What?

00:24:50
Speaker 4: What is happening.

00:24:54
Speaker 3: It's a weird setup for this whole thing. I don't know why, Like Sean walking through gets more attention because I'm being respectful, because I'm like, oh, I'm just just here, you know, whereas Cory is being a fountain. Like it's kind of weird, like the fact that Eric's dating life is tethered to like Sean's desirability is it's a very weird thing.

00:25:13
Speaker 2: Ye agree.

00:25:14
Speaker 9: And also they needed you separate so you weren't tainted by the fountain, because why wouldn't they just come out of the kitchen together.

00:25:22
Speaker 1: But then it's one's supposed to look like a little kid while the other's supposed to look like he's a little more adult.

00:25:27
Speaker 3: And the irony is that, like, if you think about Corey and Sean, Cory is clearly the more mature.

00:25:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, Sean is the one who.

00:25:34
Speaker 3: Would love the fountain. He would like be doing the fountain over and over again. But I guess when it comes to girls, you know, Corey.

00:25:41
Speaker 1: They also the title of the pieces danger boy, and they do nothing to show that Sean is dangerous even slightly. It's not like you came down and lit a cigarette, you know what I mean. It's like you're actually want to get some soda.

00:25:54
Speaker 3: That would make sense if I was doing something a little like risky or like right showing that I was more of a rebellious teenager than exactly.

00:26:02
Speaker 2: Which I guess.

00:26:03
Speaker 5: To that point, the fact that you came down and just admitted I'm actually only down here because I heard you were smoking hot and I wanted to check you out is kind of a little.

00:26:12
Speaker 4: Does it, ye, kind of does it.

00:26:14
Speaker 2: It's a little mature and risky.

00:26:16
Speaker 3: But I heard that he was she was smoking hot because Corey told me she was smoking hot.

00:26:21
Speaker 7: So yeah, I love I love the line.

00:26:31
Speaker 4: Okay, as you were as you were, as you were?

00:26:34
Speaker 8: Sure? Yeah, yeah, that actually made me laugh.

00:26:36
Speaker 3: That was fun. That's funny.

00:26:48
Speaker 5: So then we were in the school hallway and by the way, Will, I didn't recognize a single background actor I did except for Ricky in this first when the first shock, when they opened and there were people crossing, I was like, I don't know those people. And I'm saying this Tony because Will commented I have seen the same seven background in this all the way.

00:27:13
Speaker 3: Will's pissed off that people had consistent jobs. Can we you know, a different eye, Candy, I mean, come up a little bit.

00:27:25
Speaker 5: It was like, yeah, Tony, did you ever get to know any of our background actors?

00:27:32
Speaker 8: Yeah?

00:27:32
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, because when we were just kind of hanging around waiting for between takes, we would talk and I would always, you know, have something to say to him.

00:27:40
Speaker 8: So yeah, they were all very recognizable, although I don't. I look at him and I go, who are those people.

00:27:49
Speaker 5: Well, we there are few that we really know, like the regulars. And then I actually was like, wow, these are not oli ore you. And then once we got to the downstairs part and Ricky was in the back, I was like, Okay, now I know some of these people.

00:28:00
Speaker 1: But at the open the one girl who I see all the time, who she and I used to talk all the time, with the big hair. She's a shorter girl with the big hair, and she was very sweet. I can't unfortunately can't remember her name, but she and I used to talk quite a bit.

00:28:12
Speaker 4: Okay, very nice people. I just I think there's.

00:28:15
Speaker 3: That guy, the black guy.

00:28:17
Speaker 4: Is he like, he's got really short short hair.

00:28:19
Speaker 3: He was super nice to you, I think.

00:28:21
Speaker 1: I was like, I think it was another super nice guy and one of our consistent.

00:28:29
Speaker 3: Actors, like good performers, so he was always figured prominently and yeah, and it was it was so weird to have his name like flash in my head. I was like, Ron Ron, but I hope i'm.

00:28:38
Speaker 1: Rider, will say, Rider will say, I have no memory for anything, and then a month later, remember the.

00:28:43
Speaker 2: Most obscure thing that will true.

00:28:46
Speaker 1: It's like where the French background actor was born?

00:28:51
Speaker 3: Like are you kidding me.

00:28:52
Speaker 4: It's like, what, Well, it's all coming back, you know.

00:28:55
Speaker 3: You see the juices start flowing.

00:28:59
Speaker 4: Sounds right round. I think it was wrong.

00:29:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:29:02
Speaker 5: So we see mister Feenie who walks by reminding mister Turner of a faculty advisor meeting at four o'clock. Mister Turner, who clearly makes fun of the meeting, says he doesn't want to go.

00:29:14
Speaker 2: Do you remember this scene, Tony?

00:29:16
Speaker 7: I do not.

00:29:19
Speaker 4: Do you remember any.

00:29:20
Speaker 3: Of this episode?

00:29:23
Speaker 7: I will get to it, but the only thing I have is a takeaway from this episode has to do with the roller coaster. Ye.

00:29:31
Speaker 8: But yeah, I look at myself and I go, I know that's me.

00:29:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't.

00:29:37
Speaker 8: I don't remember it.

00:29:39
Speaker 1: It's like watching somebody else, isn't it. It's like watching somebody else. Yeah, it's weird.

00:29:43
Speaker 8: Yes, Why why is that?

00:29:46
Speaker 4: Because it was just another another day work?

00:29:49
Speaker 3: Yeah? You were probably more concerned about what you and Will we're going to do for lunch than like you. I mean, also, I feel like you and Bill had so many of these scenes that were just the two of you, or the two of you and like other guest cast. In the later scene, which is which probably you guys spent like five minutes rehearsing because you were the pros, like you know, it was like you just buzzed through and like we we wouldn't have been around for that. So you guys probably rehearse like you'll sit here, you'll sit here. You did it once and then you forgot about it, you know, like yeah, yeah, it's so cool because I don't remember any of these storylines and I just love the Phoenie Turner dynamic. Yeah, so fun. Yeah, especially at this point in the season, you guys have sort of become like a I was thinking about, like the you guys are kind of like the Greek gods of the of the show, Like you know, like we're the students like flailing around, and then you guys are like the authority figures to kind of know like whether to step in or not constantly, and so you're kind of like having these assigns to each other like throughout the season like should we fix this, No, let's let the kids figure this out. And then you're also debating amongst each other like when do we like when do we go in or who's right. It's a cool dynamic.

00:31:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, did Bill joke around with you a lot in real life, Like while you guys were doing these scenes, did you did you and Bill have kind of a jokey, fun relationship?

00:31:10
Speaker 7: Uh?

00:31:10
Speaker 8: Yeah, sometimes we did. He was he was kind of, you know, just kind of all business about it.

00:31:15
Speaker 7: But if we if I would throw something out there, he would joke back to me and we would laugh a little bit, and then he would make comments about some of the other storylines or something, so we would have a lot of fun.

00:31:24
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:31:26
Speaker 5: So Phoene says, uh, Turner has no choice, and he calls him mister Picky.

00:31:32
Speaker 4: A beautiful roos.

00:31:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you love it?

00:31:36
Speaker 2: I did love it?

00:31:37
Speaker 4: I love it absolute?

00:31:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, don't remember it? And do you remember that tie at all?

00:31:43
Speaker 5: Well, you had so many of them, I could find it hard to believe you'd ever remember any of them. Nearby, Eric asks Sean if he wants to go on a double date with him Kim and Kim's cousin. Sean asks, well, what about Corey, and Eric gets defensive, saying he definitely asked his brother, what do you think of me?

00:32:00
Speaker 2: And Sewan answers, I don't think anything of you.

00:32:03
Speaker 3: We don't talk to each other exist.

00:32:06
Speaker 1: I know it's very strange, but we this is now what the nineteenth episode we've been together where we're it's like we rider and I would always.

00:32:14
Speaker 4: Say we never worked together.

00:32:15
Speaker 1: We had like one scene together, and then throughout the first season we worked together a bunch.

00:32:19
Speaker 4: Now the second season, we've got other things.

00:32:20
Speaker 1: It's like, what show were we watching where we thought we never worked together?

00:32:24
Speaker 4: Because we did.

00:32:26
Speaker 8: And I said the same thing.

00:32:28
Speaker 7: I said the same thing about you and I Will, where I was thinking we hardly had any scenes together. And then when I watched this show, I was like, wait, I don't remember that.

00:32:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

00:32:37
Speaker 1: I remember one thing that we'll get to, which we'll get to later, which is which is such a Tony Will moment.

00:32:42
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

00:32:43
Speaker 1: And it was just for us and we were just entertaining each other, but it was it was great. But no, this is where my acting to me, this scene going up to Sean, and it was like.

00:32:53
Speaker 3: What do you think?

00:32:54
Speaker 1: Oh, I just I haven't had trouble with my acting in a while now, and this one I found a little Wow.

00:33:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was not a fan of my performance in this episode.

00:33:04
Speaker 8: No, I did not. I did not.

00:33:05
Speaker 3: That's very sweet.

00:33:06
Speaker 8: Did at all.

00:33:07
Speaker 7: And I would say it if I if I really felt like, yeah, you were not on your I don't know, but I didn't feel that way at all.

00:33:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'll come back to Earth will. It's just not super funny, you know what I mean, Like it's not that.

00:33:20
Speaker 4: Great, like trying to force the comedy.

00:33:23
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'm pushing it because I got so many laughs in the last episode and.

00:33:27
Speaker 4: That became like a thing that now I'm trying to find them.

00:33:30
Speaker 1: So I'm pushing too hard to make something that isn't there and that and I see it on screen where I'm just.

00:33:35
Speaker 4: Like, oh, dupe, just push.

00:33:37
Speaker 1: It's like that kid in you know, the eighth grade school play who's like, I'm going to take over the play. Like that's kind of what it seemed like to me for this episode.

00:33:44
Speaker 4: It just it hurt a little bit to watch this one.

00:33:46
Speaker 7: But see for me as I just with fresh eyes on the episode like I'd never seen it before. The overriding theme from this from the very first moment to where you're trying to fix up Corey and she doesn't want to have anything to do with them, so you know you've kind of done something bad. Sure, So it's kind of a heavy moment where you feel like you've kind of let your brother down, so you're trying to be that Hey, Hey, I'm funny.

00:34:10
Speaker 3: Hey make up with me.

00:34:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how at the end.

00:34:14
Speaker 8: But I felt like it played that way throughout the whole episode though you were in trouble the whole episode.

00:34:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, your tie was was was a better performer in this one than I was.

00:34:26
Speaker 3: Did you know what is my hand rubbing? As we walk away from Oh yeah, what am I doing? Sean got he acted, I'm excited, get to make up with girls?

00:34:38
Speaker 2: It's so dumbs well.

00:34:42
Speaker 5: Sean asks what the cousin looks like and Eric says she's l McPherson with Cindy Crawford's mind.

00:34:52
Speaker 4: Nothing.

00:34:53
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means.

00:34:54
Speaker 8: I got nothing.

00:34:55
Speaker 5: Sean realizes Eric hasn't seen her. Eric says he's paying, and Sean has then a hundred.

00:35:05
Speaker 3: Shawn's poor.

00:35:10
Speaker 2: So then we are in the school cafeteria for the teachers meeting. Ms.

00:35:14
Speaker 5: Rifkin played by Kathy Kinney asks mister Turner if he could advise the senior ski trip, and she does it in a very flirty manner, and he says, only if you come with me, and she giggles and gives him the job.

00:35:26
Speaker 2: Oh, Tony, do you remember do you remember working with her at all?

00:35:31
Speaker 7: I remember, I remember working with her, but I don't remember that scene and especially that line. I don't remember that. I do remember. I do remember working with her though, because I remember when later on when she was on the Drew Carry Show, I was like, that's.

00:35:47
Speaker 4: The that's the show, right, So yeah.

00:35:51
Speaker 8: I remember that. I just don't remember that line.

00:35:53
Speaker 3: What's right now?

00:35:55
Speaker 2: Are we in the cafeteria?

00:35:56
Speaker 4: Cafeteria?

00:35:57
Speaker 5: By the way, one of the clubs on the whiteboard is Scuba Club, which is a nice little throwback to season one.

00:36:03
Speaker 3: But we don't have a fool.

00:36:04
Speaker 1: I also, I also asked Sue because she went to a high school just like this, and there is at least during football season, there is a pep rally every week. Oh, so that's why the signs are always up, because every single weeks there.

00:36:18
Speaker 4: Is That makes sense.

00:36:21
Speaker 5: Okay, So mister Feoene is automatically given the role to advise the chess club, and mister Feoenie asks why it's a given that he will lead the chess club, just because of the way he dresses and speaks. His little sweater vest. He wants everyone to stop assuming things about him. Turner moves for everyone to stop assuming anything and then says, but you probably assumed I didn't.

00:36:47
Speaker 2: And then we're in the Matthew's kitchen. Amy comes home.

00:36:49
Speaker 3: Tony does one of my favorite again, one of my favorite deliveries.

00:36:54
Speaker 4: You have this certain delivery you give.

00:36:58
Speaker 3: You did it. You did it the first time you did it, and I noticed it. I remembered it so well. Was when you walked up to Corey during the school dance and he had put on like tons of perfume or something.

00:37:08
Speaker 4: You're like, Matthew, just smell good.

00:37:12
Speaker 3: And you've done that delivered. You do it here about the sweater vests too. I forget exactly what you say, but you say something to with it that you kind of turn away and have this like a little side.

00:37:21
Speaker 4: Like hey, George, n exactly.

00:37:25
Speaker 3: It's like you're saying the thing, but I don't believe you're saying that. I love it. It's one of the best.

00:37:31
Speaker 4: Hey, Matthews, you smell smell good.

00:37:34
Speaker 3: You've done it like three times this season. I love it. The sweater belt specific memory.

00:37:41
Speaker 7: I have a specific memory about I think it was the one where you guys were making fun of of George Phoenie's name and it was weenie Weenie or whatever. Yeah, And I do that same thing to Corey when I when I say something about what if what what?

00:37:55
Speaker 8: What if I called you booger or something like that? Would you would you? Would you read? I don't know how I feel.

00:38:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, yes, yeah, yeah, because how else do you.

00:38:14
Speaker 8: Make that line work?

00:38:18
Speaker 5: No, it's perfect too, because the other thing is that you have to you have to thread the needle between are you being a little sarcastic, but you would never like outwardly disrespect him totally, And so it's a really like it's the it's a perfect delivery for exactly what you're trying to do.

00:38:34
Speaker 3: It's really super interesting because Turner can't be mean to Feoenie, right, right, But there has to be conflict. There has to be some conflict. You can't like, we would never accept Turner on the show if he was fun yeah, like actually undermined Phoenie's authority. It would be like, you know, or made fun of me. So, but he is kind of threatening, you know, it's a good dynamic.

00:38:55
Speaker 10: It's really good Tony, that was that a good delivery?

00:39:00
Speaker 3: It's a good scene.

00:39:04
Speaker 8: Trying to find a comedy.

00:39:05
Speaker 5: Yes, Amy comes home with the dry cleaning just as Alan is off to his poker game. Amy sarcastically thanks him for the compliment on her new hair because she got a weave, and Alan goes with it, pretending he notices until she says it costs a fortune. Then that stops him in his tracks, and he wants to know how much. Alan looks at her check book and sees that it cost one hundred and thirty dollars. Alan asks if that includes airfare, and Amy says, well, that's what Rodique charges. Alan wants her to go back to this rodeque and get her money back, and she pushes him out the door for his poker night.

00:39:44
Speaker 3: Hair obsession on our show. Just just want to note that.

00:39:47
Speaker 2: Such a hair obsession storyline.

00:39:51
Speaker 1: I'm no longer going to bring up the Yeah, don't Alan's worth it?

00:39:55
Speaker 4: It is what it is now.

00:39:57
Speaker 1: They are the typical stereotypical sick husband and wife, and that's what it is.

00:40:02
Speaker 5: Well, after we interviewed David Kendall and he made it very clear how many mandates from the network they had for ways to age up the show. I guarantee you this was a couple dynamic they wanted for them because it was what was popular on other shows.

00:40:21
Speaker 3: Probably, I guarantee you that's what it was. I also think the next scene with them in the kitchen is one of the coolest scenes ever. Performance was so which was like at the end, were they yeah, yeah, well two of them in the scene, but before the actual poker night, but when the two of them have it's just great, it's great, And that like won me over to this whole story a lot. I was like, Okay, you put Betsy and Rusty in anything, and they're entertaining, so I'm fine.

00:40:46
Speaker 1: But yeah, Betsy's last moment here when she pushes him out the door to and it almost is like a throway, like yeah, I love you too.

00:40:51
Speaker 4: Whatever that was. I mean, again, they're they're hitting the beats, They're good. It's just the obligatory nature of the being exactly.

00:40:58
Speaker 3: I did like, actually liked that they said how much money the haircut costs too, because when it first started happening, and I was like, what it was like one hundred and thirty sounds just about it, right, You're like, that is really expensive and still today that seems pretty expensive for a haircut, you know in ninety five, Yeah.

00:41:15
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was expensive.

00:41:17
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:41:17
Speaker 8: Well, how else would you service those characters? I mean, what else would you have them doing?

00:41:22
Speaker 9: Well, the thing that we we talked about is, like the first season of the show, they were they weren't the typical sitcom parents.

00:41:27
Speaker 4: They were like young hippies kind.

00:41:29
Speaker 1: Of yeah, and you know, they the way they parented was a little more out of the box.

00:41:35
Speaker 4: There were constantly scenes of them.

00:41:37
Speaker 1: Which Riders has alluded to a bunch of times where where they would be talking about, Okay, we don't really know what we're doing.

00:41:43
Speaker 4: How do we parent through this? Yea?

00:41:45
Speaker 10: And it was very real and then but they had such nutual respect too, right, Like that was the key is that they always they weren't like even if they had conflicts with one another, there was this level of like, but we really understand one another and love one another, and like there were.

00:42:01
Speaker 5: Also more storylines of like them with their shared interests, and a lot of a conflict came between them and their kids, like the power struggle of like oh my gosh, can you guys just be old parents? And I'm going, but we're not. We're young and cool. And so they were like a team kind of against the children, and and then of course sometimes the conflict would come up and they would then have differing ways of handling that, and so then they have to be like team, team, team, look at us as a team.

00:42:25
Speaker 2: How do we bring us back as a team?

00:42:26
Speaker 5: And this feels like every time now the conflict is I do man thing.

00:42:32
Speaker 3: You do woman thing.

00:42:33
Speaker 2: We do men and women things, and women and women things.

00:42:35
