TGI – Episode 510 “Last Tango in Philly”

00:00:18
Speaker 1: I wanted to give our dear listeners a little update since I had shared with you a little while back about my breast cancer diagnosis.

00:00:27
Speaker 2: I had surgery.

00:00:30
Speaker 1: As I'm recording this now, I had surgery less than twenty four hours ago.

00:00:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, like twenty hours ago you had.

00:00:36
Speaker 4: I think we need to emphasize that that we're amazed that you're even here right now wanting to do this.

00:00:42
Speaker 1: Yes, I feel really good. I mean, you know, I'm starting to feel a little sore. I feel a little loopy as well, obviously also very tired.

00:00:53
Speaker 2: But my surgery went well.

00:00:54
Speaker 1: There was a little bit of a complication before I got into surgery where basically modern science is so incredible, but they put these things inside you called it they're called savvy's. I think it's sav I is how it's spelled, And it's like it's a needle basically, but it's like a radar and so they can when you have a very small area of cancer that isn't necessarily visible to the naked eye, they put these needles in you to mark where the cancer is, and then your surgeon uses this radar tool to detect where that thing is. And that's how then they know where they need to go to get the cancer and to take and to get clear margins. And one of the things they did when I had my biopsy is they put a marker where the biopsy happens. And so that marker basically for any future mammograms that I might have or in this case, surgery I had where cancer was detected. The marker is the sign on the mammogram about where they did the biopsy. So I went in to have the savvy put in and the radiologist is the one who's doing it, and her she's, you know, does the mammogram, sees the image, and then they line you up so that they know exactly where to put the needle. But before she put the needle in, she was going to give me some lightocane to help numb me. And she put the needle in to do the lightocane, and then they take another image and my marker had moved, like I don't know, I don't know if the marker got hit with the but it also it was just very weird and it moved and she acted very surprised by it, and she was like, sorry, your marker moved. It moved kind of a lot, and I was like, is that normal? She was like no, yeah, and I'm alone, you know, like no one could go back there with me. My mom and Jensen were there, but they weren't allowed to be back there with me. And so I was like, okay, so what does that mean? And she's like, well, you know, She's like, here, I'll show you the images. And I'm like, I don't really. I mean, sure, I'll go look at them, but like, I don't really you need to see it.

00:02:55
Speaker 3: She did it.

00:02:56
Speaker 1: She did show me it, but I was like, more than that, I just care, like, so what do we do? What does this mean? Does the marker need to come out? And then she explained to me, well, I could just put one needle in, which is what my original plan was, one savvy in, which would tell them like where the spot is for the tumor. But now that the markers move, that would be kind of confusing for them because then there's a marker in another location. She's like, let me call your surgeon and see what he wants me to do. I was like, okay, and she calls the surgeon and my surgeon was in another surgery so he couldn't talk to her. So she comes back. She's like, I couldn't get your surgeon. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to put in two markers. I'm going to put in a marker to bracket the cancer area. So instead of putting one kind of in the center of it, I'm putting one at the tip of the cancer and one where your marker is.

00:03:42
Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, and is there any problem with that.

00:03:45
Speaker 1: She's like no, As a matter of fact, there's just multiple ways of doing it. Some people prefer bracketing anyway. It's fine, it's it's going to be fine. And I was like, okay, and I'm you know, I'm bleeding, you know, like I've got and I'm now anxious, and there's she has to now because she's putting in a needle in another area. She has to give me another light a king shot, and the light a king shots are really uncomfortable. So now I'm like in more pain and she has to put these two needles through me.

00:04:12
Speaker 2: And then she puts the needle.

00:04:13
Speaker 1: Through and I feel it come out the other side of my breast which was not numbed, and I hear it like hit the mammogram machine, and I go ooh, that came out all the way the other side of me, and she goes, yeah, it's supposed to, because then when your breast is not compressed, it's gonna the needle's gonna be in the middle of it. You know, think of your breast as being kind of like a balloon. And I was like, yeah, I know, but I really I felt it like on the other side just popped.

00:04:38
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:04:38
Speaker 2: She was like, she's like, no, I know, it's gonna be fine.

00:04:40
Speaker 1: And then sure enough, she takes me out of the machine and she goes, oh, sorry, I got to pull this one back, so then she had to like pull it out and then the other one had to be pulled out.

00:04:48
Speaker 4: Sy if she knew it was going to come out the other side, why wouldn't they also numb the other side.

00:04:51
Speaker 1: Why we didn't know it was going to come out the other side. Because then she she realized it did. She was like, oh, sorry, yeah, that went too far.

00:04:58
Speaker 3: And you're like, that's what I said. That's what I said.

00:05:00
Speaker 5: I know.

00:05:01
Speaker 1: It was like I heard it hit the table like I felt it, and then I heard like.

00:05:04
Speaker 2: Think and then she said, you know, and.

00:05:07
Speaker 1: I just to just to be clear where the marker moved is still in an area where there were calcifications they were going to need to move. So like me bracketing, it isn't meaning they're going to have to take any more tissue than they were before. And that is what had kind of been in my mind, was like, well, where you know the area if you're putting a marker is the area they need to remove. And now the thing marked, I mean it moved, and you told me it moved kind of kind of a lot. So now I'm a little skin She's like, just you know, it didn't move.

00:05:34
Speaker 2: It didn't.

00:05:34
Speaker 1: It's still in the area. It's still in the area. And I was like, oh, okay, good, Well that makes me feel better. Then I get immediately up to and because this whole process now took longer, I'm late for my check into surgery. And when I go to check in on the monitor, it says you're too late to check in for this. I'm like, so I had to find a person who could help me. And then the person was like, well, now I need to see if they can still accommodate you're late for check in, and I said I was in another procedure like I wasn't like doing my hayllarucks cup. I didn't want to be doing this, I promise, like so anyway, then they get me up there and then I see my surgeon and the first thing my surgeon says to me is, so, it looks like we're gonna have to take some more tissue. It was it's a bigger It's a bigger area than we had been told. And I was like, so, why did that happen because she specifically told me that it wasn't And he was like, she put the markers where the calcifications were, but two other idiologists who had read it had said it was significantly smaller, and now it was bigger. So anyway, I don't really know. I don't really have the answer to that.

00:06:37
Speaker 2: I don't know if it really was just a bigger area.

00:06:40
Speaker 6: And I know I'm a big fan of don't tell me anything, just knock me out, do whatever you need to do, because like, our imagination is so much worse than like, the anticipation of pain is worse than the actual pain.

00:06:52
Speaker 7: So like whenever the dentist is doing something or any I'm like, I don't want to know. I don't want to because if I start envisioning what you're doing with that real it's way worse and I'm worried about it.

00:07:02
Speaker 3: Just knock me out, do whatever you need to do, and like wake me up and tell me it's all okay. And I'm the exact epis.

00:07:08
Speaker 4: I'm the exact I want to know every little thing you're doing the whole time down to we're going to hit turbulence on the plane. It's going to be three hours in. I'm doing this with your teeth. I want to I want to know everything.

00:07:20
Speaker 2: I like to know everything too.

00:07:21
Speaker 1: And they did tell me at a certain point too, when they were doing the needle thing. They were like, and then when we take you out of the machine, you're going to have a giant needle sticking out of your breast, so look anywhere except there.

00:07:31
Speaker 2: And then I was like, of course not, I want to see that. I definitely want to less.

00:07:38
Speaker 3: Don't.

00:07:39
Speaker 2: But anyway, surgery went well and I'm out and you know, I'm here and I'm.

00:07:45
Speaker 3: Just ready to go, ready to podcast. I know.

00:07:48
Speaker 1: I got home from surgery last night at seven pm and at nine am we started the podcast today.

00:07:53
Speaker 3: We did we were obviously thinking about you all.

00:07:55
Speaker 1: Day and Will and Sue, you guys sent me the most beautiful flowers. Thank you so much as very nice. My iHeart family sent me some beautiful flowers. It was very sweet. And Writer, your wife texted me yesterday and I was like in the hospital bed.

00:08:07

00:08:08
Speaker 1: You guys are also good to me, so thank you. And I did just want to let you guys know next stage of this will be starting radiation. I don't know when exactly that will be, but I will give you all an update when it does. And now I just am happy to put this little surgery chapter behind me.

00:08:23
Speaker 4: Good well, We're happy to have you here. Thank god you're here because Writer doesn't want to read, neither.

00:08:29
Speaker 3: Do I, So.

00:08:33
Speaker 2: Welcome upon me to world. I'm Danielle Fischl.

00:08:35
Speaker 3: I'm Rider Strong, and I'm Wilfordell.

00:08:49
Speaker 1: So today we are recapping season five, episode ten, Last Tango in Philly. And it's funny because I remember the name of the episode so well, and yet I did not remember the episode at all.

00:09:05
Speaker 3: No, you remember the dance, You must remember the dance.

00:09:09
Speaker 1: I did remember the dance once it came on, but like it was the whole episode until all of a sudden I realized, Like right before, I was like, oh, this is the dance, But I watched the whole episode without realizing that that's where it was going.

00:09:24
Speaker 3: You and a Mexican outfit. I know it's a great episode for you. You are so good. This might be one of your best performances.

00:09:33
Speaker 8: It's really hair is different, shorter off shorter, and they're letting it and we're using my natural cool, which back in the day was just like not attractive.

00:09:47
Speaker 1: My curly hair is better now. I don't know, as I got older, it got better when I let it go curly naturally. So yeah, I'm not sure what we were doing, but but yeah. So This originally aired December fifth, nineteen ninety seven. The synopsis to Panga and Angela want to go dancing with their new handsome coworkers, but Sean and Corey aren't in the mood to join. When the ladies still go out on the town, Sean and Corey must fight their jealousies and figure out how to win back their girlfriends. It was directed by Alan Myerson. It was written by Jeff Manel. Before I jump into our guest stars, you guys said a little bit about your your your thoughts on the show.

00:10:22
Speaker 2: What did you think about the episode?

00:10:24
Speaker 3: I loved it. I loved it. I thought it was so fun too. It was great.

00:10:29
Speaker 7: It really we're all so comfortable. We were all just obviously having fun. It's a it's a great episode.

00:10:35
Speaker 3: And Jonathan de Larco is amazing. The girls, the girls who were in the gym or it was just great. I thought it was really fun, you know.

00:10:44
Speaker 1: I loved also that even though there wasn't a ton, there was a nice forming of a true friendship between Angela and to Panga.

00:10:52
Speaker 2: I liked that.

00:10:53
Speaker 4: I liked that of the crew.

00:10:57
Speaker 2: Yes, and I liked it.

00:10:58
Speaker 1: It was fun to see Tapega one have a true girlfriend that you actually instead of just being like, here's my friend Debbie Sean and like handing off a supposed friend that I don't actually have any relationship with and we've never heard of Versena of. This is like seeing us talk about our issues and giving each other advice and being there for each other and having fun together.

00:11:18
Speaker 2: I loved it. Will you have a Butt?

00:11:21
Speaker 3: I do have a butt?

00:11:22
Speaker 4: But it's not about these It is about the episode, but it's not about the episode.

00:11:25
Speaker 3: If that makes sense. I liked the episode.

00:11:27
Speaker 4: I wasn't a huge fan of the message the men are idiots. Men are And the thing is, I'm not a big fan of I also, and we'll get into it.

00:11:36
Speaker 3: I had a problem with and I turned to Sue halfway through.

00:11:40
Speaker 4: It's like, am I wrong? She's like, no, I agree with you. Where it's like, if you're in a relationship, you don't go out with another guy dancing, Sorry, you just don't. And I always reverse it where it's like if I'm with my best friend and I'm at work and I call home and I go, hey, I'm going out dancing with two other women, that's not good. So I had more of a problem with, well, what it was happening in the episode, Sean were still Shawn and Cory.

00:12:05
Speaker 3: Were the ones refusing to go dancing.

00:12:06
Speaker 4: They were okay, so that first night, that first night, totally understand, Hey, we're already going out. Do you guys want to come? No, I don't want to go. Great, Hey we're going out dancing with them again? Not no, not gonna hip.

00:12:17
Speaker 1: I did definitely think, you know, all this talk about the guys being stubborn, they refused to go.

00:12:23
Speaker 2: They're being so stubborn.

00:12:25
Speaker 1: And I was like, maybe also going out dancing with your coworkers every single night, Yeah, also stubborn.

00:12:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're coming back at midnight and all. But the actual episode I liked. I remember liking doing the dance and shooting it the dance. None of it makes any sense, of course, but I'm over it trying to make sense, and I'm just trying to let go and have fun.

00:12:45
Speaker 3: So that part was fun.

00:12:47
Speaker 4: I love that we seriously have money now, so it's we're in new sets all the time. Yeah, and yeah, so that so the actual episode I liked. Yeah, the message of the episode I was not a fan of, but that that's a personal thing about the writing of where they were going with the episode. I thought we were all great. I thought it was all fun and enjoyable. I love the idea that Sean has never been in a long term relationship before, so he's getting advice from Corey, who has absolutely.

00:13:14
Speaker 3: No idea what he's doing or talking about a Yeah, it is.

00:13:17
Speaker 4: So stuff like that that dynamic really funny, but making just kind of every every guy an idiot.

00:13:23
Speaker 3: It's like, Okay, I get it. It's like it's like the dumb.

00:13:26
Speaker 4: Dad in the nineties sitcom Who's just Lucky to be married to the woman. It's like, Okay, I get it, and I knew that that was a nineties thing, so I tried to let that go. But yeah, so I liked the episode. I did, but the message I was not a fan of them.

00:13:38
Speaker 3: It's so dated to the like men are from women are from Mars, men women are from Vie. Like remember that.

00:13:46
Speaker 7: Fundamentally different and they'll just never understand each other. It makes a cartoon out of that. But I, you know, for the sake of what I think is a really fun story.

00:13:55
Speaker 4: So what it is, it is. It is a fun story. And again, the dancing is fun. And anytime you see Bill dancing and Bill fumbling with a woman is now like my new favorite thing to watch.

00:14:06
Speaker 3: I just want to watch Bill.

00:14:07
Speaker 4: I want to watch that age Bill as a single man trying to get into the dating pool.

00:14:12
Speaker 3: Also that show, it's also Eric giving him dating advice.

00:14:17
Speaker 7: Say a call back to the Boston episode where I was like, great, this is what I want to see, Like, let's let's go of all the sat stuff finally, like, just let these guys be friends and let you be the one who like has authority and that.

00:14:28
Speaker 3: Was really fun. I agree, all of it was a really fun dynamic. But yeah, me too.

00:14:33
Speaker 4: I really liked the episode. Didn't like the message, but that's yeah.

00:14:36
Speaker 1: And I will say, you're right, it is a personal thing because you and I definitely have and I don't know about it. I'm actually not sure about writer, but you we all the three of us, I will think have pretty I would call that a kind of conservative belief about relationships that like, there are certain boundaries we just wouldn't cross out of respect for our part partners. And yet other people would say, you are supposed to trust me. And if I tell you this is a platonic friend, I'm gonna go dancing with them. And if you if it's on you, if you don't want to come, which was the point of the message, you know, what was the message of it, and so and that really is I can see how someone could argue it. It isn't how I think, it isn't how I feel. So for me, I agree with you, the message was not on was But but that is a personal thing.

00:15:23
Speaker 2: It's not necessarily universal.

00:15:25
Speaker 4: And a stupid way to put it for a nineties kids show. But if it's invoking this kind of a discussion about what you believe.

00:15:35
Speaker 3: In, then it's done its job as a show. Yeah, I mean that's exactly what it was used to do. What would you do in this situation? How would this work? What is your point is? For me?

00:15:44
Speaker 7: I just didn't take any of that too seriously because I thought the point was that Corey and Sean react so poorly.

00:15:50
Speaker 3: That is like.

00:15:51
Speaker 7: That that that even you know that even if the girls didn't want to go dancing, they're going to do it again. To be like, well, I'm not listening to these idiots, you know what I mean? Like and that that was fine.

00:16:00
Speaker 2: Was like yeah, of course, Like they also tried to save it.

00:16:03
Speaker 4: They tried to save it a little down the line where Topanga's having the conversation with Angela like maybe we went too far, maybe we should to think a little bit about it, and then they come in with the two bodybuilders. So it's like, yeah, I mean I get what they were trying to do, But that was as as Daniel said, She's right, it's a personal thing. And as the traditional relationship guy, I was like, you don't go out dancing multiple times.

00:16:26
Speaker 7: Even introduces himself as he had some friend and it's like it's so over the top.

00:16:32
Speaker 3: Of course this is set up to just be a trap.

00:16:35
Speaker 4: You know, it's done, but it's done its job as an episode, it's done its job absolutely so.

00:16:39
Speaker 1: Guest starring Jonathan del Arco. He appears as Nunzio. Jonathan is originally from Uruguay and appeared on a ton of nineties shows like Blossom, The Wonder Years, and Pacific Blue, and is still working a ton on shows like Nip Tuck, The Sopranos, Station nineteen, Truth Be Told, and most notably for big roles on The Closer and spin off Major Crimes.

00:17:02
Speaker 2: But he is best known to Star Trek fans as.

00:17:05
Speaker 1: The Borg Drone Hugh on Star Trek The Next Generation and many other incarnations of the franchise.

00:17:13
Speaker 2: Did you know him Will?

00:17:14
Speaker 3: I did not.

00:17:15
Speaker 4: I didn't know that he was a Borg. Resistance is futile. I had no idea.

00:17:19
Speaker 3: That's that's huge.

00:17:20
Speaker 4: But you know, I wonder how close he was to when John Luke got taken over by the Borg and then became forget it.

00:17:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, so.

00:17:28
Speaker 1: Right there with you, I get it. A good question. Well, we'll ask him.

00:17:31
Speaker 3: When we're talking about I have to ask him. I'm just saying so.

00:17:33
Speaker 1: Then we have Sue Casey as Catherine, an actress for six decades.

00:17:38
Speaker 2: She was once called the most beautiful.

00:17:40
Speaker 1: Extra working in Hollywood, appearing in the background of classics like Annie, Get Your Gun, Showboat, and an American in Paris.

00:17:48

Speaker 1: She was the secretary in the original nineteen forty seven version of the Secret Life of Walter Middy and the sun bather in Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece Rear Window.

00:18:03
Speaker 3: Oh way, so cool, Oh my god. Wow.

00:18:08

Soe sadly passed away in twenty nineteen at the age of ninety two.

00:18:29
Speaker 4: This legent, This is why I wish I knew what the hell I was doing back in the day. Can you imagine the stories that she would have had Hitchcock.

00:18:37
Speaker 3: Are you just rear window? You know, we're just like, yeah, hard lady, I love I love Albert Hitchcock.

00:18:45
Speaker 1: So I swear I have a memory and you guys can verify it or tell me if I'm mistaking it for something else. But isn't paint your Wagon something we yeah, something we talked of.

00:18:56
Speaker 3: Yes, yeh, talk about it on the show.

00:18:57
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was the movie screening right that will Hijackson, you know, but yeah it's and I've never seen it, but yeah, I think we talked about it.

00:19:05
Speaker 3: We talked about it on the show because my.

00:19:07
Speaker 7: Parents loved that movie and they used to sing one of the songs as like us.

00:19:11
Speaker 3: They would put insert in my name into the song. Is like my.

00:19:21
Speaker 3: Wagon. That's great.

00:19:23
Speaker 2: Lexi Alexander as Sonya.

00:19:25
Speaker 1: She is one of the more shocking guest stars in the history of Boy Meets World. Lexi is a German Palestinian filmmaker and martial artist. A former kickboxer, she broke into the business as a stunt performer and then would turn to directing, where she was nominated for an Oscar with her debut short film Johnny Flinton in two thousand and two. She subsequently directed the critically beloved British football hooligan drama Green Street in two thousand and five, then two thousand and eight's Punisher war Zone for Marvel Come On, Ray Stevenson and Dominic West. Well before the boom of comic book films, it was considered a big bomb at the box office and she was very vocal about her issues with how it was handled on release, but since then it has built a cult following with supporters like Patton Oswald and Paul Shecher. Alexander has become a very vocal figure online and has been a fighter for equal rights and opportunities for female filmmakers before it was a cool thing to do. And although she has directed some Superhero TV and been attached to projects like a Chris Benoa biopic and a Blumhouse TV series, she has yet to be given a chance to build on what she had with her two impressive first big releases.

00:20:37
Speaker 3: Easy Punisher is a good movie. Is a it's good.

00:20:44
Speaker 4: It is a good It's like really dark, it's really They've tried to do a number of different incandations of Punisher.

00:20:50
Speaker 3: But it was not a bad movie at all. Yeah.

00:20:52
Speaker 4: No, it was just before it's time, you know, it was way before any of the comic book stuff came out. Now, you throw something up on the screen and it's going to make fifty million dollar.

00:21:00
Speaker 3: But it was not a bad film at all. Yeah.

00:21:03
Speaker 1: Wow, we have Matt Sadano is Sergio. Matt has gone on to star on a bunch of TV shows such as Power, Tyler Perry's Ruthless, and z Nation, but Boy Meets World was his second job ever. Cool cool, and despite looking online for hours, we are unable to find the actress who played Cookie.

00:21:23
Speaker 2: So if anyone out there knows, please email us at Pod Meets World show.

Speaker 9: She's not listed in the credits. He's not listed, but I was able to find him.

00:21:59
Speaker 3: Because he a group came the Stars.

00:22:04
Speaker 1: It sure is, so jumping into our recap, whoa new set alert, Mexican Restaurant your set?

00:22:12
Speaker 2: If you think it's Chubbies, I'm not so sure.

00:22:16
Speaker 3: That's Chubby No, I don't think it is.

00:22:18
Speaker 7: It is.

00:22:18
Speaker 3: I don't think it is either.

00:22:19
Speaker 2: I don't think it is.

00:22:20
Speaker 3: I think they just retrofitted Chubbies.

00:22:22
Speaker 2: They may have. If they did, they did an incredible job of it. Because I looked.

00:22:27
Speaker 3: I'm me too for sure it was.

00:22:28
Speaker 1: Chubbies and I was trying to like figure out where the stuff was and I didn't really see it.

00:22:34
Speaker 4: Sack swing door was the only thing that was that was the same as the Chubbies.

00:22:39
Speaker 3: That's where you would go for the phone. No, no, no, for the.

00:22:42
Speaker 4: Phone, can't side of Chubbies. But but the rest of it, I mean, it goes way deeper. It's only one level. You think they just retrofitted Chubbies.

00:22:51
Speaker 7: Really, I think they just retrofited Chubbies because it's another basement set, right, there's no windows, so I think they just took out the stairs and like, you know, change the back wall.

00:22:59
Speaker 3: But otherwise it's I think it's just chubby. They did it.

00:23:02
Speaker 4: Then, Daniel's right, they did a good job. So I was looking too. I was like, I think they actually just built a whole new set.

00:23:07
Speaker 3: I actually thought that the texture on the walls was the.

00:23:09
Speaker 7: Same, which yeah, it did kind of look it was the same textured walls, So I thought it was just you know, yeah.

00:23:16
Speaker 4: The only the only horrible part about the set, which sou pointed out, is none of those tortilla chips were done properly, all very blonde like needed another fry. They were just not ready.

00:23:27
Speaker 3: Those tortilla chips are not ready.

00:23:28
Speaker 1: So other than that, I just can't believe we have another place to eat in the city.

00:23:33
Speaker 3: I don't.

00:23:33
Speaker 2: I'm shocked we have. We have more, we have options.

00:23:37
Speaker 4: Which I love is that you think that's the reason that they moved you because you easily could have worked at Chubbi's, but you didn't because you needed the two dancers.

00:23:44
Speaker 2: Right, We needed Latin men, right exactly.

00:23:46
Speaker 3: You need That's what it was so okay interesting.

00:23:49
Speaker 1: So Sean admires a tortilla chip, telling Corey his favorite thing is that they're free. He dumps an entire basket of them into his backpack before calling out, we need more chips over here. Poor Fivour and Rita loos waitress. Topega and Angela appear dressed in colorful waitress uniforms that match the place's decor. To Penga scold Sean, stop calling me waitress. I have a name, Cory smirks, yeah, Ramona, Yeah, it's Spanish for tapanga.

00:24:16
Speaker 3: Look it up, gray line.

00:24:19
Speaker 1: Angela chimes in, why are they being so rude? Corey knows it's their first day of work, so they're doing their obnoxious customer routine to break them in. Sean jumps in, this is cube dised I asked for crushed. Angela fires back, this is the salsa for your chips, and dumps the salsa into his backpack. Did you notice that the inside of the backpack was already covered in salsa from Salta.

00:24:45
Speaker 3: It was the whole backside of it.

00:24:47
Speaker 2: Was just covered in salsa. I was like, this was obviously a take.

00:24:51
Speaker 3: Two before.

00:24:54
Speaker 2: Did not get another backpack. They had one backpack.

00:24:57
Speaker 3: Wow, By the way, crushed I is better than cube. Just no way, noe. Big ice cubes if what.

00:25:05
Speaker 2: What about those the little perfect cubes. Everybody loves the little ones.

00:25:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of crush me. Yeah, that's a crush to me. That's what I meant. Those are the good that's the best.

00:25:15
Speaker 7: Ice you always like clumps up together, pounds into your then you break it down.

00:25:19
Speaker 3: You want you just like the one big Bourbon cube, the one cube if anything.

00:25:24
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, I also just hate ice and water, Like I hate how if you get a glass of water somewhere they just loaded up with ice, Like.

00:25:30
Speaker 2: Just give me water, just water, Yeah, just plain water.

00:25:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, the good ice. Anyway.

00:25:34
Speaker 1: Anyway, moving on, Corey figured they'd want to celebrate their first day in the workforce by taking the boys out to dinner. To Panga and Angela were actually thinking of going out with a bunch of their new coworkers. Angela suggests the guys come to Corey seems into it. Topanga reveals they're going dancing. Corey wines, no dancing, pa. Sean follows Corey's lead. Yeah, pah, Angela and to Panga go back to work, and Sean leans into Corey, maybe I should go dancing my relationship is new. I don't want to disappoint her. Corey argues, you're a guy. She's got to get used to it. We are men. If we don't want to dance, we do not dance tonight. We do what men do. Sean's shouts, right, what's that, Corey shouts. We go to the gym, We pump some iron, and we sweat. And this is such a big departure any Corey we've ever known or seen. Yeah, yeah, Corey is usually the one really leaning into all the couplely things, right, yeah, and not usually the guy sweating it out at the gym. I'm not This did kind of bump me a little bit. As the premise for the whole show.

00:26:40
Speaker 3: Is that he a man.

00:26:44
Speaker 7: It could have been pretty easily set up with just Topanga making a comment about you know, him not being strong, you know, like it could have easily been like he's suddenly insecure and therefore comes you know, yeah, he comes at it with such strength out of nowhere that it's not Corey.

00:27:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just made him really alpha all of a sudden, just like I'm now the alpha mat like really, of.

00:27:04
Speaker 7: Course, if it's just been set up, you know, like for whatever reason, he was feeling emasculated for a moment, and then he's like, oh, doubling down on, like we got to make I gotta be stronger, I gotta be tougher.

00:27:16
Speaker 3: You know what it is.

00:27:17
Speaker 4: It's literally he can't open the jar of salsa, and to Penger, somebody comes over and pops open the jar.

00:27:22
Speaker 3: Yah comes over.

00:27:24
Speaker 1: Perfect, Yeah, exactly, there you go. That would have been perfect. So Sean questions, are their private showers. Corey's face sours, They're better be Angela and to Panger return and ask if the boys are in. Corey answers, no, you go with your friends from work and do your little dance routine. Angela wonders if that goes for Sean too. Sean leans in and whispers to Corey, are you sure I'm not going to get hurt on this? Corey assures him it's the way God intended.

00:27:50
Speaker 3: Okay, just for going back to what we just talked about so.

00:27:53
Speaker 4: Far, perfectly acceptable. Yeah, you're there, you've met the guys. They say, we're going. Do you want to come? No?

00:27:59
Speaker 3: I don't want to come. You go do your thing perfectly and totally except right.

00:28:02
Speaker 1: Okay, right, ye, great, uh so, Sean tells Angela, no go dance, it's God's will. Then on cue, two handsome waiters walk right up to the table. One asks with a thick accent, So, ladies, you're coming dancing tonight with myself and my equally handsome and beautiful friend Sergio.

00:28:22
Speaker 2: Yes.

00:28:22
Speaker 1: The girls happily not, and the wait staff all disappear back into their roles. Sean and Corey watch after them in horror, and then we're in John Adams, Hi, Corey and Sean, who is back in his huge gray pants back to back episodes.

00:28:36
Speaker 3: Yes, for the rest of the show. This is it. If you just stayed in those pants, you sleep and wake up still in the whole Norton anthology in that back pocket. It was so great.

00:28:46
Speaker 4: Sue also pointed out that you're wearing a lot of the loure this seasonal.

00:28:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was just it seemed to go with that kind of vibe.

00:28:55
Speaker 1: You know, this would also be really leaning into the almost you know, the juicy Couture or Valure sweats sweatsuits that were very big for women in the late night I think Valure was having Yeah, you're right, that was early aughts, so we're getting close. Pre juicy, pre juicy, pre juicy on the booty. Yeah, but we're getting close.

00:29:13
Speaker 3: Must have been.

00:29:15
Speaker 1: I tell you they used to write juicy on the booty. It's it was great. So, uh, they are walking in the hall. Sean asks, we pumped a ton of iron last night. How are you feeling? Corey responds good, but it's obviously not good. Sean is also in pain. You want to help me take off my jacket?

00:29:32
Speaker 3: It made me laugh.

00:29:33
Speaker 4: I've had your read on that was like, good, can you help with this jacket?

00:29:36
Speaker 2: So funny.

00:29:38
Speaker 1: Cory's glad they had a good time doing their guy thing while the girls got dancing out of their systems. Sean wonders if Ninzio or Sergio tried anything. He doesn't trust anyone with that many zippers on their pants, and I thought, oh, interesting for you to be judging people's pants.

00:29:54
Speaker 7: Also, when did I see them with zippers on their pants? The outfits so we didn't like this joke. It is a funny, like don't trust people with zippers on their pants? And then the callback later is great too, but I was.

00:30:05
Speaker 3: Like, did I see them with zippers?

00:30:07
Speaker 2: I know, did their uniform have zippered pants. I didn't. I didn't really notice.

00:30:11
Speaker 1: Then, to Pega and Angela enter the hallway, Sean decides he's going to ask Corey stops him never and appear to be jealous.

00:30:18
Speaker 2: You never ask.

00:30:19
Speaker 1: Never to Penga strolls up, Hey, guys, Corey immediately snaps what happened last night?

00:30:26
Speaker 7: Off? And this is where I looked at your hair and I was like, oh, Danielle, you just houseled. It was almost like like hair, and I thought it was kind of it was like, oh, she looks like she just got changed, like just put her clothes back off.

00:30:40
Speaker 4: I just this morning and I didn't have my coat times because you didn't have your contact lens.

00:30:46
Speaker 7: Solually thought it was a choice, but then it was in the rest of the acid was that's just.

00:30:51
Speaker 2: Maybe I've just moved in with Nunzio.

00:30:52
Speaker 4: You never Now I have a question because I think our dear listeners would want to know this. When your hair changes this much, is that a you decision or is that a them decision? Like did you go in and go I want no, let's just make it more natural. I want it curly, or is that.

00:31:06
Speaker 1: You're going for curly Laurie and I made got after the hair was cut. Laurie and I got to make pretty much all the decisions about what we did with my hair. There would be occasionally a time where, like I guarantee you later where you see me when my hair is like clipped to the side and the restaurant scene, my hair's up. We probably left that down and Michael or somebody didn't like the hair falling in my face and so they asked to clip it back. That probably wasn't our choice, that was probably a request.

00:31:28
Speaker 3: But this is.

00:31:29
Speaker 1: Probably Laurie and I trying something. Let's let's do let's do something.

00:31:33
Speaker 7: Probably because you had to have your hair up in the restaurant scenes, so that was like that sort of forced you guys to have to figure something out that was easy to do, to transition from one to the other exactly.

00:31:44
Speaker 1: So Tapanga answers, nothing, we danced. Angela admits she is a little tired though Corey. Corey chuckles to Sean, you got a problem. Tapanga adds that Nunzio sure knows how to move.

00:31:56
Speaker 2: Huh.

00:31:57
Speaker 1: Corey realizes, oh, I got a problem too. Angela adds that Sergio's no slouch. On the dance floor either Sean is now completely defeated.

00:32:05
Speaker 2: I didn't ask that. Read right is hilarious, so good.

00:32:12
Speaker 1: I love it and I love that whole I love this whole thing that you're like, why did I have to have my heart broken? I didn't even ask the question.

00:32:20
Speaker 7: The Corey Sewan dynamic, as much as Cory is got sort of out of character to begin this storyline.

00:32:25
Speaker 3: I just love that the two of us are.

00:32:26
Speaker 7: Like giving each other horrible advice and that he's dragging me into this awful situation.

00:32:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, so great. And you know, because Sean is always is it's dumb, It's dumb and dumber.

00:32:36
Speaker 7: On Yeah, but it's also just a nice reversal, you know, because Sean's the one who usually is like, this is what women like and this is how and he gets Corey in trouble. In this case, it's Corey's insecurity that's dragging Sean down.

00:32:46
Speaker 3: I love that. It's a fun dynamic. It is.

00:32:49
Speaker 2: It is cute.

00:32:50
Speaker 1: Angela notices why Topanga, I think they're jealous. Sean insists he is not jealous that immediately asks did he touch you? Angela plays into it. Sergio or Ninzio Sean's shouts, Oh, what difference does it make? You were out with other guys dancing and sweating and what is up with all those zippers? And I would like to point out that to Pega and Angela are doing essentially the exact same thing the guys do later when they bring the girls in.

00:33:13
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, teasing him and acting like they do have a reason to be games.

00:33:19
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:33:19
Speaker 1: So it later when they're like mad and they say to the girls, well do they know, I'm like, well, you did it earlier.

00:33:26
Speaker 3: Yep, I thought the same thing.

00:33:28
Speaker 1: So Angela reminds him, we asked you to come along to Panga chimes in, and I believe your words were pah. Corey explains, possibly, oh.

00:33:39
Speaker 7: Biggest laugh for Indy ad. He watched this episode with me and that killed him. He was like, PA kept saying it.

00:33:47
Speaker 2: I do love it.

00:33:49
Speaker 1: It is funny because I feel like they backed into PA, you know what I mean, Like they I feel like they wanted to do possibly at some point they knew that and then they were like earlier, he should just say PA, because Pah, where does that? Where does that come from? Sean ralents it's no big deal. Corey agrees, it's no big deal at all. Then the bell rings and before leaving, Tapanga asks, so you'll come with us next time. Corey is all in, Hey, I wouldn't miss it. The girls leave and Sean turns to Corey we're going dancing with them. Corey is enraged. No, we're going to the gym so we can beat the zippers off of Sergio and Nunzio. And then in this moment is when I noticed the guy who is fake Sean in the stream at the same behind. He's right behind you. He has arrived.

00:34:34
Speaker 3: Yes, he's very prominent in another scene, dancing scene. Yes, so what was his name? We don't remember his name?

00:34:41
Speaker 2: Huh, I do not remember his name?

00:34:42
Speaker 3: He was around.

00:34:43
Speaker 1: You are that background actor that we have now spotted, so in for our dear listeners in case you because you helped us find Dusty. If you notice the guy who's right over is it Corey's shoulder or is it Sean? I think it's over shawn shoulder. I took a picture of it. I think maybe we'll sit on our Instagram.

00:35:03
Speaker 3: Very much like mine.

00:35:04
Speaker 1: Yeahs like the middle and he's very handsome. We'll post a picture of him. Maybe we'll use TikTok to get to the bottom of it.

00:35:12
Speaker 2: He may be found.

00:35:13
Speaker 3: Why we're talking about so when when we did.

00:35:15
Speaker 2: The scream episode and then there was shot.

00:35:18
Speaker 7: And right, and then there was shot the killer, you know, I take the mask off the killer and it's myself.

00:35:22
Speaker 3: I'm looking at myself. He was the killer version of me.

00:35:25
Speaker 7: So when you see behind him and you're looking at my face both directions, it's him standing in and they cut his hair to match mine. And yeah, and the poor guy had to deal with us just being so unprofessional while we were and he doesn't have our lines, and he was just working so hard, and he was a nice guy.

00:35:45
Speaker 3: And I remember him, but I don't remember his name. Like his acting is good.

00:35:50
Speaker 4: In the background, he's engaged, he's slapping high five. So somebody it's like he looked like a kid in school.

00:35:54
Speaker 3: Got to find him.

00:35:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we got to find him for sure.

00:36:08
Speaker 1: So then we're back in the Mexican restaurant, and in this scene we will learn it is called El Coyote, which is a very famous Mexican restaurant here in Los Angeles. To Pega and Angela are running around frantically as they serve their tables. Then we notice Corey and Sean walk in. Corey reminds Sean if they ask, we're not here because we're jealous of the gorgeous Latin men. We're here for the El Grande Burrito for two ninety nine.

00:36:29
Speaker 4: By the way, for people who don't speak Spanish, it translates to the coyote.

00:36:33
Speaker 3: I just thought i'd put that out. Thanks for everybody, Thank.

00:36:36
Speaker 2: You, You're welcome.

00:36:37
Speaker 1: I just want do you want to could you possibly translate El grande burrito?

00:36:41
Speaker 3: Yes, it means the big burrito.

00:36:43
Speaker 2: Oh okay, great, thank you, And two ninety.

00:36:45
Speaker 4: Nine is a monetary unit, meaning just under three dollars, okay.

00:36:49
Speaker 2: Three American dollars, yes, correct, I got it.

00:36:51
Speaker 3: Okay, three bucks for a.

00:36:52
Speaker 4: Burrito, A grande burrito. Nonetheless, yeah, the great restaurant.

00:36:55
Speaker 3: Those are the days.

00:36:58
Speaker 1: To Pega notices them and asks what they're doing there, and Sean blurts out, we're here to beat up Sergio and Nunzio.

00:37:03
Speaker 3: Just slamp in your hand. We're here to beat up Sergio and Nunzio.

00:37:09
Speaker 1: Cory is disappointed, so Sean retracts his threat. But we'd like to start with two El grande burrito. Please doritos, please one chicken.

00:37:17
Speaker 7: One the chicken, because like the joke is, we also want the burritos. But then adding the extra bit of like chichicken, Oh my god.

00:37:28
Speaker 2: So funny to me. But the addition of one chicken be then you pointing.

00:37:35
Speaker 3: Just the best.

00:37:39
Speaker 1: Tapanga tells Corey he cannot do this. It's the busiest night of the week. Angela agrees, Sorry, we can't talk. We got tables. Sean scoffs of all the lame excuses. We've got tables. Nunzio approaches the boys. Welcome to El Coyote. I'm the manager. Sean tries to be intimidating. I know who you are. We met the other night. Sergio the man corrects him. I am Nunzio. Sergio is the one with the big muscles and the handsome smile. We see Sergio laughing and talking with Angela nearby. Sean is furious, Hey, Sergio, hands Offio. Nunzio responds, yes, you are, Sean, the one who belittles the art of the dance. Sean looks him up and down.

00:38:19
Speaker 2: We can take you.

00:38:20
Speaker 7: We could take you now. This sign we've used multiple times I could take you. I think the third or fourth time we've done it.

00:38:27
Speaker 3: It was also Frank.

00:38:31
Speaker 2: You also doesn't the doesn't the kid in the trailer park say it?

00:38:36
Speaker 3: That's what we're talking about, right, Oh, I'm.

00:38:39
Speaker 1: Talking about the We've used it a couple of times. Nunzio turns to Corey, and you are, Cory, the luckiest man alive for you are dating Topanga, who's as beautiful as a flower. No, not a flower, a garden, a garden full of beautiful flowers.

00:38:59
Speaker 2: Cory smiles. Your words are beautiful.

00:39:09
Speaker 1: It is just it makes me fall in love with Corey does every time there's one of those moments where he's able to get out of his own head and just be involved in another aspect, and it just makes me love it so much.

00:39:23
Speaker 3: You and Ben were really good in this episode Rider. I mean just.

00:39:28
Speaker 4: Well Daniel when we talked about that at the beginning, but you and Ben the just the team and the dynamic that was shifting but the same if that makes sense, because you're because Sean is in a different kind of realm in.

00:39:40
Speaker 1: The in the hallway scene, jumps in to say, what what did you do last night?

00:39:45
Speaker 2: And then in this one, Sean does it.

00:39:46
Speaker 3: We're here to be.

00:39:48
Speaker 2: They keep keep changing up, keeps up.

00:39:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's so it's it's like it's like the B and B episode, like the uh yeah, it's just the Hi.

00:39:57
Speaker 3: It's just Corey, Seawan Heidjenks.

00:39:59
Speaker 4: You're building each other up and supporting each other in the worst and I'm so great.

00:40:06
Speaker 1: And Nunzio continues, and because you are special to Tapanga and Angela, you are special to Nunzio. I'll give you a special table. And please don't order off the children's menu anymore. Cory asks us stressed out to Panga when she gets off tonight, and she responds, Corey, I'm carrying a sizzling plate of fihitas. She scurries off, whimpering ow. Corey wonders what's with her tonight. Sean thinks Angela may know. He sees her racing by Angela honey, and she responds, sorry, but I got a table of twelve. Sean yells, you're not fooling anyone. Corey's had enough. He yells for Topanga, who's actually standing right behind him. I'd like a baby burrito, a junior taco, and your boyfriend.

00:40:42
Speaker 4: Would also like to know, but also the moment that they took and I'm hoping it was you and Ben that came up with it. I bet it is of him just yelling for you twice when you're behind him.

00:40:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, so good.

00:40:57
Speaker 4: It's just that little added extra lab that probably wasn't in the script.

00:41:02
Speaker 3: But just to Pega what, to Panga what, and it's like, I'm here.

00:41:06
Speaker 2: I'm not here. It was great, so funny.

00:41:08
Speaker 1: And your boyfriend would also like to know what time his girlfriend's getting home from work. Tapega says, she doesn't know. I need to concentrate on my work right now, and I'm having a hard time doing that with you here. Nunzio strolls up behind her topanga table five. Please, She nods and runs off, coreous seething for Nunzio, she has all the time in the world. Then we're in the Matthews backyard. Phoene is tending to his garden at night, or he.

00:41:33
Speaker 2: Might be hiding a dinnertime victim in his trash can. Who Modi's bodies?

00:41:39
Speaker 1: When Alan excitedly walks out, he's got a new satellite dish with eight hundred channels. Phoene blandly remarks, Amy must be thrilled on cue. Amy appears in the doorway. So that's it, that's our Saturday night. You installing that stupid dish. Alan insists he just needs to set it up. Then the rest of the night is hers. She doesn't believe it for a second. Then Eric walks out. He thinks Alan's got a bad satellite dish because he doesn't see anything on the TV yet. Alan, who is still holding the dish, says it's not installed, responds just.

00:42:09
Speaker 2: Hold the latter and don't speak.

00:42:11
Speaker 1: And then a woman walks byrd guys the fact that they have now decided that there's a sidewalk there.

00:42:22
Speaker 3: This is not a backyard. This this ends debate right here when she walks in.

00:42:26
Speaker 5: It's also not a but we know the driveway with the garage is behind camera right right the same direction he's looking, So we do know that there is a garage there.

00:42:39
Speaker 3: So there must be a sidewalk too. I mean that's how the car gets into the garage.

00:42:44
Speaker 4: So but where like and it's where Rue McClanahan walked off as well.

00:42:49
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, it.

00:42:50
Speaker 1: Makes other times you guys have come back from camping and whatever came from the top direction.

00:42:58
Speaker 7: She should have been walking downstairs or just giving her a reason to to come.

00:43:02
Speaker 4: And hey, hey, you know, George, you left this at the Oh that wasn't mine. Oh it wasn't like you give her some excuse to show up there instead of she's cutting.

00:43:11
Speaker 3: Through the yards to get to the Starbucks. I don't know, she should be running from the cops or something.

00:43:15
Speaker 4: But I mean, it's like it was so strange where it's like, what does she wait where?

00:43:19
Speaker 1: She was so so weird, I know, and and oh my gosh, it was so weird.

00:43:25
Speaker 3: It's so I was like.

00:43:29
Speaker 2: Me too, I don't even know.

00:43:30
Speaker 1: And I hope that we never see it again and it can just be that for this one weird moment in boy Meet's World history, there was a sidewalk there because I don't like it.

00:43:39
Speaker 4: It's also where we all the very memory Sirs, the very last episode where we all leave for New York.

00:43:44
Speaker 3: That's the correction we all go to.

00:43:47
Speaker 2: It's just like she's.

00:43:48
Speaker 3: She's too deep in the set.

00:43:49
Speaker 7: She's literally in the US yard and then into the Matthews yard. You're like, just guys, it's just.

00:43:55
Speaker 3: Just passing at this point. Yeah, it was so weird. Yeah, yeah, it.

00:44:01
Speaker 2: Makes no sense.

00:44:02
Speaker 1: So Catherine, who is a possible trespasser, asks what are you doing at home on a Saturday night, a handsome man like yourself? Phoene blushes, Oh, stop that, I'm about to sit in front of a fire and enjoy a glass of sherry and dive into a good book. Must have been a bad season for salad that year. Catherine smiles.

00:44:21
Speaker 2: Alone.

00:44:22
Speaker 1: Phoenie nods. She extends an offer. Well, I was going to go up the street to Starbucks and have a coffee, also alone. Phoene obliviously responds, well, I hear they make a heck of amcha, Catherine?

00:44:36
Speaker 3: Is Starbucks open at night? It is right?

00:44:38
Speaker 4: I think?

00:44:38
Speaker 3: So?

00:44:39
Speaker 2: Yes, of course?

00:44:40
Speaker 3: Okay, well I.

00:44:40
Speaker 2: Don't know, don't some of them are twenty four hours, are they really?

00:44:43
Speaker 3: Yes?

00:44:44
Speaker 2: And most of them are open until like three?

00:44:46
Speaker 3: Really?

00:44:46
Speaker 2: So yeah, at least midnight? Absolutely.

00:44:50
Speaker 1: She slumps and walks away. Eric has been watching the whole thing in disbelief. He walks over to Phoenie, a haughty like Kathy Anderson asks you out, and you just blow her off. Phoene's ocked. She asked me out? Eric says she was practically throwing herself at you. Phoene asks, when Eric imitates Catherine, I'm going to Starbucks also alone.

00:45:10
Speaker 3: It's so funny.

00:45:11
Speaker 7: This episode is all about accents, and it's like you could just tell our writers in different voices and they're.

00:45:20
Speaker 3: Like, oh, let's let's give him. Yeah.

00:45:22
Speaker 8: So cool.

00:45:23
Speaker 3: But I just love this Eric Feoene dynamic. I me too.

00:45:27
Speaker 1: It's so perfect and wonderful and warm feeling. Phoene's not buying it. I heard that she wanted some coffee. Eric grins, yeah, with a side of you. The audience erupts into laughter. We get a long pause, and Eric continues she thinks you're cute and walks away. Phoene stutters, oh, wait a minute, you think she wanted a date. Eric touches the tip of his nose. Ah, now you're getting it. Phoene wonders why he didn't see that Eric's eyes. Well, mister Feenie, I'm in college. You're still in high school. It's a great, so great. Then he pulls the ladder and brings it back into the house. We hear Alan loudly scream Eric, and Eric shouts right back, what while continuing to take the ladder inside without a care in the world. Phoene stretches out his arms ready to catch Alan if he falls.

00:46:14
Speaker 2: Did you see that?

00:46:16
Speaker 3: I guess so good, so cute.

00:46:22
Speaker 1: And then we are at the gym, and we know that because.

00:46:30
Speaker 3: A little little lack of creativity on our department.

00:46:34
Speaker 4: What is.

00:46:36
Speaker 1: Usually what they call strip clubs, so that you could say to your partner, I'm going to go to the gym.

00:46:44
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to the gym. You don't call an actual gym the.

00:46:48
Speaker 4: Gymim They couldn't put on power flex or something like that.

00:46:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, two haughty extras are working out nearby, right or do you remember this set at all?

00:47:00
Speaker 2: These guest stars not at all? Yeah, funny.

00:47:04
Speaker 3: All I remember this this week is the dance.

00:47:07
Speaker 4: See it's funny because the one thing I read I remember the dance. But the other thing I remember, because I think we did it quite a bit, was Ben lifting the weight going Nansie.

00:47:18
Speaker 3: We used to remember that, but that was Those are the only things I remember that too, But I didn't remember the set. Yeah, no, that's so funny.

00:47:30
Speaker 1: So Corey struggles struggles doing bench presses while Sean's spots and motivates him.

00:47:34
Speaker 2: Push push, Push.

00:47:36
Speaker 1: Corey groans I can't. Sean yells back, come on, you wimp now push Sergio could, Nunzio could? Corey finally pushes the weight up as he screams, NUNSI up, and then Sean counts, that's one.

00:47:52
Speaker 3: That's one.

00:47:55
Speaker 7: I wish they'd given us a little more weight, noting that was funny, I know, but it would have been great.

00:48:03
Speaker 4: Of it, like just looked a little just like in a lot of gyms too. I love how then the woman who's there all the time, who's ripped, just like that was a great rep. You didn't give up on it like you have that happened all the time. You do one thing and you hurt yourself, Like Dan, it was great you didn't give up on it for you.

00:48:18
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, did any of you guys work out during the show, Like, were any of you guys lifting weights?

00:48:24
Speaker 3: No?

00:48:24
Speaker 7: No, no, all right, Kitchen, I'm just so tiny, ye, my arms are small.

00:48:30
Speaker 3: I was later by season like six, maybe I was.

00:48:35
Speaker 2: I was gonna say that was ripped.

00:48:37
Speaker 4: Was always remember when he took he'd take off his shirt during the dance.

00:48:40
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, Abs, well and when I you know, the famous meme of him ripping off his shirt shouting to Panga.

00:48:46
Speaker 3: It's like he's shredded.

00:48:48
Speaker 2: So Corey is relieved. Few Okay, your turn.

00:48:51
Speaker 1: One of the girls says to Corey in an East European accent, that was a good rep. You did not give up on it. Corey beams, thank you. Sean is ready to begin his rep. We trust our girls, right, Corey laughs, Of course, we trust him. That's why I'm gonna call Topanga. He jets off, letting the weight fall onto Sean. He uses the gym's pay phone. I haven't seen one of those in a while, and Sean wonders if she'll be mad, and I couldn't help, but hear you say it as if we had already done.

00:49:17
Speaker 2: The Scream episode.

00:49:20
Speaker 8: Mad.

00:49:21
Speaker 9: Was he mad?

00:49:22
Speaker 1: Corey laughs, No, she'll be flattered. Women love that kind of attention. Sean, who still has the weight lying on his chest, instructs him, when you're done with Tapanga, put Angela on. I want to flatter her too. We hear the line pick up on the other end, oh La, this is Nunzio. Cory sneers, Hello Nunzio, and then we cut to an answering machine at the restaurant. Quite a nineties time capsule in this episode. You know, Nunzio's voice continues, hel Coyote is now closed. If this is for reservations, please call tomorrow during normal business hours. If you need to contact me Topanga, Sergio or Angela, you can reach us at the Boom Boom Room at four three eight and Corey abruptly hangs up the phone.

00:50:03
Speaker 4: Now this is not okay. Now we've gotten to not okay. Did did they say we're going out again tonight?

00:50:07
Speaker 2: I know?

00:50:08
Speaker 1: Well she were with them, right, well, this is when they said We're not going to miss it. But then also and.

00:50:14
Speaker 7: Then we went to the restaurant, tried to beat them up, and then to the gym. Yeah, we were invited.

00:50:20
Speaker 3: We just I think they invited this time, well the same the last.

00:50:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's later. Yeah, and I say, so you will joint so you're join us.

00:50:29
Speaker 2: Hey, I wouldn't miss it.

00:50:30
Speaker 3: Okay, It is.

00:50:31
Speaker 1: True that there isn't they there could have been a little reminder of that. They tie it together very We're going to see you tonight, right, like if there had been any like especially stressed at the restaurant.

00:50:41
Speaker 2: Guys, I'll see you, we'll see you later, I'll see.

00:50:44
Speaker 4: What the yeah, something like that, because they really there's enough of a split to where you're.

00:50:47
Speaker 3: Like, wait a minute, what's now, what's going on? Yeah?

00:50:49
Speaker 1: Well, then we're outside to Penga's house.

00:50:51
Speaker 2: This is a first small look at her. Guess her aunt's house.

00:50:55
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, So Corey is pacing outside of the front door, wearing a Tony soprano esque jumpsuit. Loved it. It's literally such a cool fit. I want it now. He's waiting for Tapanga to get home. We hear a thanks guys, and a car door closes. Topanga walks up, surprised to see Corey. What are you doing here? Corey immediately turns it on her. Here's a better question, what are you doing here? To Penga smiles, I live here, Corey wonders, if you live here, why.

00:51:22
Speaker 3: Aren't you.

00:51:28
Speaker 1: If you live here, why aren't you inside at twelve o'clock at night? To Pega shrugs, we worked late and a bunch of us went out. Corey says, I know, but you were supposed to call me. To Peg insists I did call you. Your mom said you were out for the evening. Corey continues to interrogate her. So where'd you go dancing to? Pega explains, yes, Corey, I like it, especially after a long night at work. It helps me unwined. Corey jumps to conclusions, Okay, Corey's not home, so you run off.

00:51:53
Speaker 2: With Nunzio to the boom Boom Room.

00:51:55
Speaker 1: Third person, huh, until you know you're in trouble. Very interesting choice. Tapega wonders how he knew she was at the boom Boom Room. He admits he called the restaurant and it was on the machine. Tapega seems stunned that he was checking up on her. Corey lies and says he was checking on tomorrow's special. I mean the seafood Enchilada for three point fifty? How do they do that? Tapeg's unamused. I don't like this jealous side of you. Nuncio is just a friend who likes to dance. I've asked you to take me dancing a million times, and I did think it was so interesting. How many episodes we've now done where Tapega points out to Corey, I don't even like this stuff, and he's like, but I'm only doing this because I thought that's what you wanted. And yet here we have Tapega saying I am explicitly telling you what I want, and you don't do that.

00:52:42
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, he've also been dancing with Corey a bunch of times.

00:52:46
Speaker 3: They've shown you dancing in the well.

00:52:48
Speaker 1: I wanted to dance with him at for my sweet sixteen, So he should very clearly know it's something that means something to me. And I've now I'm saying, I've asked him a million times and he just doesn't.

00:53:00
Speaker 2: They are a horrible couple.

00:53:01
Speaker 4: Let's just sa I meanar, Yes, it doesn't feel.

00:53:05
Speaker 9: Like of.

00:53:07
Speaker 3: Likes he doesn't really know her at all? Right? Who does though? Who really knows Topanga?

00:53:17
Speaker 1: Yes, Corey assures her this has nothing to do with that. I forbid you to see him again. The inmates yeah to Panga answers, I'm going to bed, Corey shouts, I forbid you to go to bed. Ta Pega shakes her head and walks inside without another word. We're back in the gym with the wall that says the gym. Corey and Sean are on the floor doing ab exercises. Corey says he doesn't understand women. Why can't they be more like men?

00:53:45
Speaker 7: There it is there, it is hiding sight.

00:53:51
Speaker 1: The best women are men. I'm telling you we spotted its seasons ago. There's a hidden thee and there it is. They've just called it out.

00:54:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not called Girl meets World this time, is it?

00:54:05
Speaker 7: I know?

00:54:05
Speaker 2: Mmm?

00:54:06
Speaker 3: No, it's about the boys.

00:54:08
Speaker 1: The two hotty workout girls from the other day are back. The boys greet them. Hi Sonya, Hi Cookie Sonya gives the guys a little encouragement.

00:54:15
Speaker 2: Looking good, go for the burn. A small note here.

00:54:18
Speaker 1: Both girls get a little sag money with lines, but not poor Sergio.

00:54:23
Speaker 2: Oh, Sergio says absolutely nothing.

00:54:26
Speaker 3: Oh Man.

00:54:27
Speaker 2: Sean tries to figure this thing out.

00:54:29
Speaker 1: The girls want to dance more than anything in the world, and we want to make them happy.

00:54:34
Speaker 2: Corey is stumped.

00:54:35
Speaker 1: There's got to be a simple solution to all of this, and the audience gave us a big laugh for that. It's very funny that you guys are really trying to figure out this major problem, that the answer is right in front of you. The boys try to think of any possible solutions, and it finally hits Corey. Wait, the girls talk about how it's okay to have guys who were just friends. Well, what if we get ourselves a couple of girls who are just friends. Sean gasps, Corey, that's brilliant, that's the simple solution. Corey devilishly suggests, I've got a strong craving for Mexican Sean grins. I'm right with, Yeah, you think they deliver, it's good.

00:55:10
Speaker 4: That's one of my favorite lines, though, one of my You have a line writer, and I don't know the exact wording, but it's when you're talking about why can't He says, why can't women be more like men? And you say, well, there'd certainly be a lot less something movies. It's I forget her name.

00:55:22
Speaker 2: Uh oh, Emma Thompson.

00:55:23
Speaker 4: Yeah sure, but the way your delivery is just so thrown away, it's just so great. It would be a lot less Emma Thompson movies. It's awesome.

00:55:31
Speaker 3: Now.

00:55:31
Speaker 4: I know that we we don't like to run super long on our episodes, so we won't.

00:55:34
Speaker 3: Get into this today.

00:55:36
Speaker 4: But this does lend into a much larger conversation that people have all the time, which you see both sides of and also is doubly important at this age of can men and women, boys and girls just be friends?

00:55:51
Speaker 3: And there's that.

00:55:52
Speaker 4: Whole conversation that people have of like, well, you're seventeen year k right, can you just be friends without there being some So I mean we've already established that Nunzio has said, you are not of the Tapega is not a flower.

00:56:05
Speaker 3: She's a garden full of flowers.

00:56:06
Speaker 4: So he obviously has some attraction to her. So right there, does that negate the possibility that they can just be friends?

00:56:13
Speaker 3: I mean one of them is already attracted to the other.

00:56:14
Speaker 4: Person, So that's like, what's this is the whole bigger conversation of especially if you're in a relationship, Can I just have a platonic friend where there's nothing there?

00:56:25
Speaker 3: Or is that going to lead to problems?

00:56:27
Speaker 4: Well?

00:56:27
Speaker 1: You know, I do think I mean, you guys have heard me talk a lot about this because I have built a reputation for myself over the last few years, like mainly since Girl Meets World, for being a really big, like boundary person, really like and I wasn't always that way. I used to be much more the way Tapanga is in this episode, much more like oh, we can absolutely just be friends.

00:56:50
Speaker 2: I love my guy friends.

00:56:51
Speaker 1: I should be able to do anything with my guy friends that I would do with my girlfriends. And it wasn't until much looking back and self reflection and and spending a lot of time trying to figure out why I had made so many bad choices in romantic relationships and like picking the wrong person? What made me attracted to this person? Where did things go wrong? That I realized like, truly, boundaries are so easy to cross, so easy you don't have to intend to cross them. Nobody ends up sleeping with their coworker because they're most of the time, they're not setting out to do it. But what happens is you have a fight with your significant other. You have a male or female counterpart at work, whoever you're attracted to at work, and you just start having I didn't have a great night last night. Why what happened? And then you make the decision, Am I going to tell them about the fight? Am I not going to tell them about the fight?

00:57:43
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:57:43
Speaker 2: And you do?

00:57:44
Speaker 1: You tell them about the fight. Now you've revealed weakness in the relationship. The other person is there to comfort you. You get something from that. You say this person made me feel better. Then the next thing you know, it's like, you know, we should get lunch sometime, you go and you get lunch. Now you start talking about personal things in your life. These are all little boundaries you're knocking down, and once they've been knocked down, they are extremely hard to put back up. So if, in my opinion, if you truly respect and don't want to cause harm in the relationship you're currently in, you do everything in your power to keep as many boundaries up between you and somebody who you may end up feeling attracted to. And in this situation sweating, dancing, being close to and at work with, you're now spending significantly more time with this person than you are your significant other, and there's just too much possibility for things to go around.

00:58:40
Speaker 7: And the other donor is that even if you're not attracted, the other person might be attracted to you.

00:58:45
Speaker 3: And yes, a lot of times.

00:58:47
Speaker 7: People just you know, they don't care about the boundaries there because they're hoping to have a romantic hookup or a date or a partner or whatever there. But you you know, you could have the best intentions, but the other person's intentions you don't know, and that's so yeah.

00:59:01
Speaker 3: I think I agree. I'm a believer in hard and fast boundaries.

00:59:04
Speaker 9: To me, Hey, guys, while we're talking about things that would spark larger conversations, can I ask you a question? Sure, do you think this script ever had Sergio and Nunzio as a couple.

00:59:16
Speaker 4: You know what's funny is I thought something in my head when I was watching it was like, I think maybe they're setting it up that he's a gay friend and again.

00:59:26
Speaker 7: Totally fine, and then the reveal would be, oh, we shouldn't be jealous because there's no possibility of a romantic thing here, right that. I bet you that was probably yeah, or and then they were like, let's not go there because that opens up a whole can of worms. Nowadays, I think that probably would have been written right into the script, and that point is like, what, we're not into Panga and Angela because we're together.

00:59:50
Speaker 3: That would have just oh, okay, I.

00:59:52
Speaker 1: We Jensen and I had this conversation last night as well, and I.

00:59:55
Speaker 2: Actually think it was a choice.

00:59:57
Speaker 1: It was a choice to say it's not just okay because they are they are a couple, right, It's okay even if they're straight. It was a choice because I do think they could have made it where oh, Tipenga and Angela were absolutely never doing anything that was inappropriate because they knew all along they were dancing with another couple and it was But I think it truly was a choice that the.

01:00:23
Speaker 3: Thing could have been too. I don't know.

01:00:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's strange because it is trying to hit on the men are idiots, And if you truly trust your your woman in this case, then you're fine letting her go do whatever she does because you know you're secure in the relationship.

01:00:39
Speaker 1: Well, but really, because you know, I want to know what I what I ended up taking away from it that I appreciated about the message was in this case. It wasn't that it's that it's just okay for them to go and do this and you need to trust her. It's that when your significant other tells you that they love something and something would really make them happy, even if it's something you don't like yourself, sometimes the right thing to do is to do it with your partner anyway.

01:01:03
Speaker 2: Sure like to make the sacrifice.

01:01:05
Speaker 1: I don't like dancing, but she really does, and what would have made them happy and to pegan Angela did make it very clear from the beginning, what would really make us happy is you coming with us, and they kept refusing. And so instead of making your partner lose out on a on a hobby that they love because you won't go ever, take her dancing, Go do that, even if you think you have two left feet, even if you think you look like a dweet, if.

01:01:28
Speaker 2: Your partner loves something.

01:01:30
Speaker 1: Do you know how many events I have gone to with Jensen that I could care less about?

01:01:34
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I don't think Sue's ever gone anything with me she wanted to be.

01:01:36
Speaker 4: At exactly, and you go to Batman Underwear exactly. We're going to a Transformers party, of course we are.

01:01:51
Speaker 3: And she's like, you got to dream.

01:01:53
Speaker 4: But no, I think what this episode is actually about, when you add and we, they actually address it to the point where they literally say it out loud, is when you talk about what Matt's characters going through, what George is going through, what Alan's going through.

01:02:06
Speaker 3: It's all they're saying is just listen.

01:02:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, just listen to what the person you're with is saying. Because George didn't listen, and understand, Matt didn't listen and understand if you just listen, then you'll hear you know, you'll be able to avoid these these I think.

01:02:20
Speaker 7: They you know, they oversimplify for the sake of a TV show. The other sort of side of this, that that we don't really address, but I do think is there and it's buried, is like there. There is a version of saying, like if Corey and Sean had said to Tapanga and Angela, it makes me feel bad that you go out and I don't you know, I get nervous, and it's boundaries that I don't want you to cross. There's a respectful way to say, please don't go dancing with these guys because it makes me uncomfortable. And whether you have or not, I trust them, so could you respect that. And there's a version where the Topanga and Angela would have been like, oh okay, and just not gone dancing with those guys, gone dance with somebody else, found other girls to go to answer yeah, correct, But we don't ever really address I mean, it's too nuanced. Sure, but there's a version of just saying, hey, I know it's not just insecurity, it's a healthy boundary for us to have.

01:03:11
Speaker 3: Please don't do this. And a partner.

01:03:12
Speaker 7: Then just like you know, the men need to listen to the women, the women could also listen to the men and say, oh, I don't want to hurt your feelings, so I won't do this thing. It's that simple, right, but.

01:03:22
Speaker 3: Get into it. But that's like the overreactor.

01:03:25
Speaker 7: The poor reaction of Corey and Sean is the point, like they're if they had done it right, if they had been like, oh, that makes me feel bad, the girls would have been like a but then you wouldn't have an episode.

01:03:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, we we don't, Sue and I always say every time we try not to roll actively roll our eyes. But when people come up to us, and you know, you always get the guy like nudging you and going, hey, happy wife, happy life, am I right, we always kind of go and we always go No for us, it's happy spouse, happy house. Yeah, Like it's all it's about the other person, and we both want to care about the other person.

01:03:53
Speaker 3: It's not just like as long as my wife's happy, we're all good. It's like no, no, no, that's just not guys. So much good discussion from a episode.

01:04:02
Speaker 1: Again did its job, but totally did its job. So then we're back in l Coyote. Angela's venting to Tapanga. I told Sean Sergio and I are just friends, and he practically called me a liar. Topanga says Corey did the exact same thing to her. Angela rolls her eyes. Having friends of the opposite sex is such a simple idea. Why can't they get it? Nunzio appears and gives his two cents, because since the beginning of time, men have been idiots. The truth is, if my girlfriend went out dancing with somebody who looked like me, I would be insane as well. Angela thinks maybe we should be a little more understanding. Tapanga agrees, we did kind of throw Sergio and Nunzio in their faces. We should cut here some slack they did, and then Angela looks towards the entrance.

01:04:56
Speaker 2: Hold that thought.

01:04:58
Speaker 1: Corey, Sean and they're two jim Lady friends have walked in and they're all in jumpsuits of Corey tells the girls order anything you want when you're out with us. Calories don't count. Sonya rubs her hands together excitedly. Jimmy Changa's here I come. Sean sees one of his rivals Nunzio. He responds, not even Nunzio could help you. Now, third person again to Pega and Angela walk up to Corey and immediately introduces them to Cookie and Sonya. Sean braggs, Sonya can bench press three hundred pounds. Angela and to Panga put on nice faces for the girls. Then Sonya barks, bring me a cola.

01:05:36
Speaker 3: A cola.

01:05:40
Speaker 2: Panga has taken aback.

01:05:41
Speaker 7: And it's also like, I felt like so much of her character was a reference. Did you remember the like who there there's like the two workout characters on Saturday, and there was, and you had Arnold Schwarzenegger. So like the idea of like this German or Eastern Germany.

01:05:59
Speaker 3: You off, Yeah, exactly, so funny.

01:06:03
Speaker 2: Corey and Sean eagerly followed. To Panga.

01:06:05
Speaker 1: Corey says, you didn't tell us what you think of our friends. Tapanga speaks a little through gritted teeth. They seem like nice, attractive, well toned girls. Corey laughs, Ah, you're jealous. They did it. Sean, Pats's friend on the back, Angela walks up, how dumb are you? Tapanga chimes in, almost as dumb as Corey. Sean lies.

01:06:24
Speaker 2: I told him it would backfire.

01:06:26
Speaker 1: Topanga runs up to the gym dates. So did Corey tell you exactly why you were here? Sonya recalls he said we'd have a romantic dinner and I could maybe get my green card. Corey to flex, I'm pretty sure, I said, greeting cord, Angela gives the girls the low down. They brought you here to make us their girlfriends jealous to Panga and Angela walk off, leaving Corey and Sean to deal with their dates. Sonya shouts with fury, you're just using us. Corey and Sean cower in fear, and then there's a weird like fade out.

01:07:01
Speaker 2: I wondered this tooful dissolve. It's a long scene, maybe most of them, yeah, I didn't.

01:07:08
Speaker 7: But there's a beat there. It's just the worst ending to that. There's no button, there's no yeah. I mean, it should have been just a shot of the two of us, be like and then it could have maybe you know, just on the fear, but instead it's like a wide shot of them moving towards Yeah, it's a master and then it's like whoah, It's like, yeah, so I don't know what happened there was must have been a beat that didn't work or went too.

01:07:28
Speaker 2: Long or yeah, or it was a long episode and they.

01:07:30
Speaker 3: Cut something really off to me too.

01:07:32
Speaker 2: Agreed, very very odd. So wasn't sure what there.

01:07:35
Speaker 7: There was something physical. I think that they probably did some physical humor with her, like either like picking us off, yeah, or something, and then it just didn't quite work, like you know, later she picks up Jack, which is amazing, right, So I thought maybe they had done and it just didn't We couldn't get it to work, and so they just dissolved out of the scene. But yeah, I felt the same thing.

01:07:56
Speaker 1: So awkward, little weirdness there. Well, then we're in the Matthew's backyard. Jack plans to Eric. I just don't get Lucy.

01:08:02
Speaker 2: You know.

01:08:02
Speaker 1: She says she's sick in bed and chicken soup will make her feel better. I said it probably would, and then I went bowling. Now she's mad at me, She's.

01:08:10
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Just to go back to the original the conversation you were just having. Is there a possibility that Disney Plus is editing some of the episodes, because I know when I watch mash on Hulu and I watch mash on DVD. There's times where they've cut out massive sections of the episode.

01:08:23
Speaker 3: No, they would have a lot of other stuff.

01:08:26
Speaker 4: Right, Maybe they have been and we just don't know because we've never seen the episodes.

01:08:30
Speaker 2: Huh, Jensen said, the timing is the same.

01:08:33
Speaker 5: No, eduit.

01:08:33
Speaker 10: OK.

01:08:34
Speaker 1: So, Eric states the obvious. Maybe she wanted you to bring her the chicken soup. Jack wonders why she wouldn't just say so, and Eric explains, women man, they speak in code. Then Phoene strolls up. He asks how his date with Kathy went, and Phoene admits it went quite well. She even invited him into her home. Eric's impressed. She sounds due to you. Yep yipy chance, Go Phoene, Go Phoenie, and he does a little dance.

01:09:01
Speaker 2: Phoene continues, it.

01:09:02
Speaker 7: Comes back to the Scream episode, right, he must not have been a virgin sis.

01:09:11
Speaker 2: All married to Lilian.

01:09:14
Speaker 1: She read me some of her poetry and asked what I thought, and I told her. Eric asks, you said you loved it, right, Phoene says, I said it was promising for a beginner. She said she'd been writing for twenty years. Eric says that's not what she wanted. To hear Phoene groans, then why did she ask? Jack nods he's been chicken souped. Then we hear Amy yelling inside the house. Alan, it's me or that satellite dish. You make the choice. Alan comes stumbling out the back door, looking completely worn out. Then Corey and Shawn arrive home. Sean's complaining Angela doesn't even get me. Cory adds, it's like Topanga and I are speaking different languages. Alan jumps in. One thing's obvious. It's not us, it's them. Phoene tries to be the voice of reason. Everyone should just think a second. Corey shakes his head. Sean and I tried that. It doesn't work. Eric takes charge, I've been silent long enough, Guys, I've been working on a theory. Men are idiots. The audience roars and agreement. The guys are all taken aback, but Eric tells him there's more men are big idiots, more audience. You know what I will say too, that I think is that helps a little bit. When you think about this episode, it was written by Jeff Manel, and how much is Jeff Manel truly the type of guy to believe for himself. Oh, I'm a giant idiot, very deprecating and very much like Listen. Lisa is a genius, Lisa runs the house.

01:10:49
Speaker 2: Lisa is the smartest.

01:10:50
Speaker 1: I'm a total maroon knowing Manel and his the way he is, this he is it is yes and I So it made me, truthfully, it made me love it a little bit because again, there are some men who are truly clueless, and they don't mean to be. They don't understand the the you know, chicken soup would make me feel better if unless you say, Jeff Manel, I would like for you to bring me chicken soup. Realize just go pick it up and please bring it to me and cuddle with me because I'm not feeling well. He might be like I, I didn't get that. How was I supposed to? And so there was a part of me that that Again, similarly to the fact that all of us have very strong boundaries about how we treat our relationships, there are some people who really are like Listen, if you don't say it to me straight on, I'm not going to get it right.

01:11:46
Speaker 2: So it's another one.

01:11:47
Speaker 3: Don't drop clues, don't drop let me know what you're thinking.

01:11:50
Speaker 2: Yet I'm not a mind reader.

01:11:52
Speaker 3: I also love how.

01:11:53
Speaker 4: Eric knows everything about women in his The Voice of Reason, and they never.

01:11:58
Speaker 1: They never give me a relationship, the guy who'd get it right.

01:12:02
Speaker 4: Right.

01:12:03
Speaker 1: So the guys realize Eric is right, Corey asks what should they do. Eric thinks for a second and then offers a novel idea, Maybe we should just try listening to them. There's a second of silence, and then they all erect into laughter. Eric admits, I don't know what I was thinking. That's crazy talk. Sean has an idea, maybe we should try Corey's thinking thinking thing again. They all stand in silence with puzzled looks on their faces, trying to think of a solution that. As you know, men are big old idiots.

01:12:30
Speaker 7: Such a weird shot of me, Like they had to bring the camera up to get a single of me because I'm like so deep in the back close, so we had to do an insert. It's one of the few inserts inserts. I guess it's technically an insert.

01:12:43
Speaker 3: It's just a close up. But yeah, it's very rare that you have that kind of single shot like.

01:12:46
Speaker 1: That, but very I love this very cute male ensemble scene. We have with everyone together, really cute. And then we're at the Boom Boom Room. The sign outside is on the fire.

01:13:02
Speaker 4: It's it's on fire. Oh yeah, on fire, literally flaming. I think they have places like that, so.

01:13:11
Speaker 1: It's it's like an actual exterior shot of something I didn't know there was. This feels like this has to be a code violation.

01:13:18
Speaker 4: Never been in the club in my life, but I think i've I've seen these and other movies.

01:13:22
Speaker 2: You've been in a club?

01:13:24
Speaker 3: No, I don't think I've ever been to a club. What.

01:13:27
Speaker 2: I don't know what we're doing. I know what we're doing for soon.

01:13:29
Speaker 4: I think maybe maybe maybe one time, like Pleasure Island in Florida, Jason and I would go to some but like, I've never been to a club in Los Angeles in my life ever.

01:13:38
Speaker 3: Never. Wow. Oh that's so not my scene. Oh my god, No, that's.

01:13:42
Speaker 7: Not I mean, it's my favorite place in the world, I know. But I've definitely been to a b Yeah.

01:13:48
Speaker 2: I can't believe think we got to take Will to a club.

01:13:51
Speaker 4: Loud, loud music that thumps all the time triggers my anxiety. I don't drink when I'm usually out of my house because I'm driving, and I.

01:13:58
Speaker 7: Don't like a large party for something like an after party for some event. Was never well, maybe maybe like.

01:14:04
Speaker 4: A rap party or something like that, like when we did like denim and diamonds and stuff like that, but like a man.

01:14:09
Speaker 3: We're going out to a club, like, I've never done that ever.

01:14:12
Speaker 4: I think Sabrina Carpenter had a birthday party one time at a club.

01:14:16
Speaker 3: Did she did Sabrina have a party at a club at one point? Right, so maybe I went. I think I went to that one time. But other than that, no, I did. It's oh my god, you couldn't got a bottle service at some ve clubs. So awful. But I've done it a bunch.

01:14:36
Speaker 1: Inside, everyone is dancing. We see Tapanga, but she doesn't really seem into it. Nunzio is next to her, cutting a rug. He asks, what's the matter to Panga, you are not enjoying Nunzio as I am doing Nunzio third times a charm for third person.

01:14:49
Speaker 3: I just love the name Nunzio. Yeah.

01:14:51
Speaker 7: When they struck upon that, the writers were like, let's say it is many times as possible.

01:14:56
Speaker 1: To Panga admits it's Corey, he hasn't called me in two days. I don't care if you won't dance. I miss him. A mid dance, Nunzio tells Tapanga that Corey misses her too. Of that, I am sure. Angela appears, looking distressed as well. She tells Tapanga, I just called the apartment again. They're not there. Nunzio says, it's obvious they're not there. Of that, I am sure. Then Amy appears. She's dancing around without a care in the world, and Sergio is following closely behind. She thinks Topanga for bringing her along. Topanga asks if mister Matthews is okay with this? And I did think I had a bad delivery on it, because yeah, because I don't obviously, if Tapanga is asking missus Matthews is her point that it's not okay for her to do it because she's married, but it is okay for core Tapanga and Angela to be doing it because they're only dating their significant others. I actually think, but my read made it sound like she is doing something kind of inappropriate, and it's shocking that mister Matthews would be.

01:15:56
Speaker 2: Okay with it.

01:15:56
Speaker 3: Oh okay?

01:15:57
Speaker 1: And I feel like I feel like what I should have been thinking is, see, mister Matthews is cool with this, Why aren't our guys cool with this? And so I think it was he's not over reading, right, and so my read. I think my read was bad and I don't know, I don't I yeah, I think anyway. I sucked there, But moving on the rest of the episode.

01:16:17
Speaker 2: I was good.

01:16:18
Speaker 3: So sucked there.

01:16:19
Speaker 2: You see, we all have sucky moments occasionally.

01:16:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, Amy, who's now being twirled by Sergio, explains he's so stuck in front of the Saddleite TV he doesn't even know I'm here. Nuncio says that Alan knows she's there. Of that, I am sure. Amy notices Catherine is there as well, you know Catherine from The Magical Sidewalk. Oh, she yells out, I love dancing. I wish there was a way to get your neighbor here. Angela tries to encourage Dapanga. I miss Sean too, but let's just try to have fun. Topanga can't have fun because she really just wants to be with Corey. She asks why men have to be so stubborn, and that's where I wrote, well, maybe just maybe insisting on dancing every single night is also stubborn.

01:17:00
Speaker 3: You think, you think.

01:17:02
Speaker 1: Then Eric appears on the stage, and it was in this moment that I realized this was the dancing episode.

01:17:09
Speaker 3: It was long long. Oh my god, that's literally this long.

01:17:15
Speaker 1: I watched the whole episode having no idea where this was going.

01:17:19
Speaker 2: And then Eric walks.

01:17:20
Speaker 1: Out onto the stage and I paused it and went, it's the dance.

01:17:27
Speaker 7: You guys remember what this was all a reference to our own Oh yeah, absolutely, Well, the full Monty Full Monty just come out.

01:17:35
Speaker 3: I was nominated for an Academy Award. It was a huge hit. Great. It was before it became a Broadway show too, but it was before it was a live show. But it was a huge It was a great movie.

01:17:43
Speaker 7: I got a great great but the whole thing was about guys learning how to dance our strip. Ultimately, but this is yeah, so it's it's that we were riffing on that. It's I wanted to think of all the influences that ours were having, you know, engaging with pop culture.

01:17:57
Speaker 9: Right.

01:17:57
Speaker 3: Do you remember rehearsing for this, Oh yeah, I do too.

01:18:00
Speaker 4: All week long with the and Bill like throwing in his like this this little movie was all bill remember that.

01:18:07
Speaker 3: A separate stage, Yeah, a separate from the stage.

01:18:10
Speaker 8: Yeah.

01:18:10
Speaker 3: And so who was the choreographer? Do you remember? We remember some guy came in and like, yeah, worked and we just kept rehearsing over and over and over.

01:18:19
Speaker 2: You guys have fun rehearsing it.

01:18:21
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, I mean it was a lot of work, and I remember being nervous and yeah, but I remember Steve Hayfer saying, because like it was Steve Har's take was.

01:18:31
Speaker 3: Like Will's the best. When we did the first day, He's like, Will's amazing, and then by the end he was like, you know, Will was the best out of the game, and they just kind of stayed there exactly.

01:18:44
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's interesting take, like because you were I remember the first day, you had no problems, nailed it, and then.

01:18:51
Speaker 3: Just kind of stayed there.

01:18:52
Speaker 4: Whereas I got it down, him out sounds about I also can't dance.

01:18:57
Speaker 3: I just can't.

01:18:58
Speaker 4: I can do a lot of things very well, dancing ain't one of them. So it's it's what, but you're better than I am. Go back and look at our backsheet, boys dance. I'm first of all, I look at everybody to.

01:19:07
Speaker 3: Make sure that I'm doing it. We're all so nervous, looking at each other the whole.

01:19:11
Speaker 4: Time, and then Ben Ben's got his hands up to do this like thirty seconds before any of us do. So it was But yeah, I remember, I absolutely just rehearsing and rehearsing.

01:19:22
Speaker 7: I could go back and do this over again, because I ye commit, you'd commit more, Yes, commit to the dance.

01:19:28
Speaker 3: There's the way the bill's committing to it. It's so great.

01:19:31
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, And Matt Kinj's dance looks great and Mat can' so yeah.

01:19:36
Speaker 4: Yeah.

01:19:48
Speaker 1: So Eric speaks into the microphone, ladies, since the beginning of time, men have been idiots. This will make up for it. And I didn't think I wrote down. Isn't it just like a man to think he's been screwing something up for all of eternity and then be like, watch me fix it with this dance.

01:20:02
Speaker 3: Exactly what I'm done. Never have to do this again.

01:20:05
Speaker 4: Hey, if you can screw for a minute, everything's fine. That's that's all I'm saying.

01:20:14
Speaker 1: So Eric walks to the center of the stage and hits a perfectly executed disco finger, and then a disco ball lights up and Alan Corey Jack, Sean and Feeney all burst onto the stage. The girls are cheering and clapping in a hyped up audience like they're at Thunder from down Under. Hot Stuff by Donna Summer plays a nice, rare mainstream song placement.

01:20:36
Speaker 2: I liked the guys break.

01:20:38
Speaker 3: Out on this episode, and this is what we rehearsed to the whole week. Obviously we have we knew it was this song the whole week, So this is what we rehearsed to.

01:20:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they break out into a choreographed magic Mike dance routine. They do the dance perfectly in unison, and the ladies love it, and Bill Daniels and Rusty Russ are you killing it?

01:20:57
Speaker 3: They?

01:21:00
Speaker 4: Was that that that that one specific move or all of a sudden there's like this, we're pushing our hands, our stern that during rehearsal, and the choreographers like, yes, that's great, let's do that.

01:21:12
Speaker 3: Yeah that was like full on Bill totally, Yeah, it was great.

01:21:17
Speaker 2: The men finish their dance and take a bow.

01:21:19
Speaker 1: The crowd cheers, and we freeze on the guys celebrating their successful comeback, and then we're in the tag. We're back at the boom boom room. Everyone is back to dancing, celebrating the hot stuff routine. Topanga asks Corey where he learned to dance like that, and Corey imitates Nunzio's accent. Everyone can learn to dance of this, I am sure actually Nunzio taught him to dance. But Corey shows to Panga a little move he learned all on his own. It's a little pumping gyration of sorts. Angela and Sean are dancing nearby, and Angela begs to see his spin move. Sewan immediately does a handstand.

01:21:53
Speaker 2: I remembered this from Kapa.

01:21:57
Speaker 7: My god, oh my god, I know that I just was doing this all the time.

01:22:06
Speaker 3: Were like, well, writer can do that thing that he does well? Right then into the episode, god embarrassed.

01:22:12
Speaker 7: And I'm so clearly nervous about hitting people because when I actually did it, my legs can slail her wrappin out, and instead I'm like keeping it tight so it looks so awkward and all tense.

01:22:23
Speaker 4: Well, that's what you're looking for in a good martial art is being afraid of hitting someone, right.

01:22:27
Speaker 3: I don't want to hurt any money.

01:22:32
Speaker 2: This little thing, he says.

01:22:34
Speaker 1: Amy and Allan are also dancing, and Alan dips amy. She giggles, asking where he'd learned to step like that. Alan admits Channel seven hundred and twenty eight, the Saturday Night Fever channel, giving us a nice satellite dish call back.

01:22:47
Speaker 7: All Travota, all travolt storylines in this episode, just like everybody gets their own little arc, even Jack right.

01:22:54
Speaker 1: It's great All Travolta all the time. Then we see Foenie and Catherine dancing together there. Catherine tells him I did write another poem. Phoene responds, Oh, I don't even have to read it. It's wonderful. Then he does a fancy little dance move and the two strut off hand in hand, a real like classic Bill Daniel's episode. Here yep, Jack walks in all by himself, just pop in his head to the music. Then Sonya from the gym approaches him. You like to dance? Jack nervously says no thanks, but Sonya reveals that was not a question. She picks him up and carries him to the dance floor.

01:23:27
Speaker 7: And that is classic Michael Jacobs. How am I going to throw this off?

01:23:33
Speaker 2: And she does?

01:23:36
Speaker 3: I'm like you know.

01:23:38
Speaker 7: In the script, is like she picks him up, turns him sideways and carries him, which is like full on Looney Tunes craziness. And they did they did it. It's it's a little awkward, but it's great. And then I love when she's like yanking him.

01:23:49
Speaker 3: By the next he's just looking around for help. Oh god, it was so funny, funny.

01:23:56
Speaker 2: So funny.

01:23:57
Speaker 1: Eric is talking to the other girl from the gym, cookie, have you heard of the Lord of the Dance? She starts to say no, but doesn't have it, doesn't actually say, and Eric declares it's me. He breaks into a hilarious version of river Dance and the freeze frame on his feet to end the episode.

01:24:17
Speaker 3: So I have I have too much shirts.

01:24:19
Speaker 7: So but it was an interesting way, you know, because he hasn't watched since the start of season two pretty much.

01:24:27
Speaker 3: So it was just a good time to check in. We'll see Yeah, okay, Tyer, you want to play it. That was crazy.

01:24:35
Speaker 4: It was like a lot happening for it all came into like the same story.

01:24:40
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's good writing usually, right, It all kind of comes together.

01:24:43
Speaker 6: Yeah.

01:24:43
Speaker 2: I like the dance at the end.

01:24:45
Speaker 10: Did you have to rehearse the dancing. Yeah, to spend all week learning the choreograph moves. Who is the best dancer you think? You know?

01:24:54
Speaker 7: Yeah, come on, mister Feenie, he was a stare I mean yeah, best.

01:25:00
Speaker 10: Dancer by far. What do you think of my acting? It was good.

01:25:06
Speaker 3: You're very condescendingly patting me on the shoulder.

01:25:09
Speaker 10: Will Is it weird to see him now? He looks so young. He's still kind of the same.

01:25:13
Speaker 4: Isn't he.

01:25:14
Speaker 6: Yeah?

01:25:15
Speaker 10: What'd you think of Danielle?

01:25:16
Speaker 4: Funny?

01:25:16
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's funny.

01:25:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.

01:25:18
Speaker 10: Do you remember what Tapanga was like in the first season?

01:25:21
Speaker 3: Awkward and weird?

01:25:23
Speaker 2: What about in the other episodes?

01:25:24
Speaker 3: Does she still have.

01:25:25
Speaker 10: The what is it called the job at the Mexican restaurant?

01:25:28
Speaker 3: No? Never, what.

01:25:31
Speaker 10: That's the way TV used to be.

01:25:32
Speaker 9: Man.

01:25:33
Speaker 10: Do our clothes seem more normal than the first season?

01:25:35
Speaker 4: Oh?

01:25:35
Speaker 3: Yes, really way normal?

01:25:37
Speaker 10: But still nineties eighties? You think everything is the eighties? Yeah, I know, anything that happened.

Speaker 4: In the the Beatles that is like fifties.

01:25:47
Speaker 10: Okay, well zombies eighties?

01:25:50
Speaker 3: Really the movie Zombies?

01:25:51
Speaker 2: Maybe?

01:25:52
Speaker 10: What about like all the songs Mom sings?

01:25:54
Speaker 3: Oh, those are like eighteen hundred's.

01:25:57
Speaker 10: What about the song that Mom always sings to you called.

01:26:00
Speaker 3: Oh that's that was like made like an American revolution?

01:26:03
Speaker 10: Really think it's that old Wait, do you know what song I'm talking about?

01:26:06
Speaker 7: Yeah?

01:26:06
Speaker 3: How's it go?

01:26:07
Speaker 10: You say?

01:26:08
Speaker 3: Yeah?

01:26:08
Speaker 6: That one?

01:26:08
Speaker 10: Okay, wow, you think that was it's an old timy song? All right? Well, how would you describe the show? The whole thing? What is the show about?

01:26:15
Speaker 2: It's about a dude. He lives his life, and his life is like whoo and everything happens that's like not his way.

01:26:25
Speaker 10: I guess, so the world doesn't get along with him?

01:26:28
Speaker 1: All right?

01:26:29
Speaker 7: How would you describe Corey's character now with gibberish?

01:26:33
Speaker 10: This is how I would describe it.

01:26:39
Speaker 3: What is that?

01:26:41
Speaker 10: Can you do?

01:26:41
Speaker 4: Me?

01:26:42
Speaker 10: Andersh?

01:26:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lulu.

01:26:47
Speaker 10: And Will and gibberish, Danielle and gibberish blah blah.

01:26:54
Speaker 2: Blue, mister Danny and gibberish blah bl blue.

01:27:00
Speaker 10: I actually think this is pretty accurate.

01:27:03
Speaker 3: I could, you know.

01:27:05
Speaker 7: I was like, do it when it was all this gibber stuff, and then I was like, you know, this is something that Ben Savage would love just doing sound versions of people and characters.

01:27:15
Speaker 4: But it's almost like getting the cadence of the character. It's almost like writing a song like totally you sit.

01:27:19
Speaker 3: There he.

01:27:21
Speaker 7: So you actually are thinking about this because it was like we got to Will and he was like I was like, oh, that that is his energy.

01:27:27
Speaker 3: I got you. Well, I mean it's how Michael used to tell us to do a joke. I mean I would tell us to do it. So yeah.

01:27:34
Speaker 2: He also could write songs for Coorn.

01:27:37
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, how funny is that?

01:27:40
Speaker 7: I mean, like, I literally the most ninety song ever Stay by Lisa Lowe. He thinks is from the American American Revolution. Lias all the time. He's always like, oh, that's so eighties. I'm like, what are you talking. You're referencing something from twenty ten. But whatever, anything old and cheesy or like outdated he thinks is nineteen eighties.

01:27:59
Speaker 3: So yeah.

01:27:59
Speaker 1: I also think sometimes kids just like to say things. They think if they nail it will make you think, how do you know that? And so sometimes they just throw a phrase around like oh, that's just so eighties and then you're like, well that doesn't make any sense, but they they're trying to sound.

01:28:15
Speaker 3: Adult exactly exactly.
