Speaker 1: yesterday was picture day at preschool Nice and yesterday it
Speaker 1: would have only been one day if you don't have
Speaker 1: two kids at the school, But if you have two
Speaker 1: kids at the school and you want them to take
Speaker 1: sibling pictures, they do it on one day and then
Speaker 1: they do individual pictures the next day. So yesterday was
Speaker 1: sibling picture day. And we couldn't convince Keaton to take
Speaker 1: off his whole costume.
Speaker 3: Yes, and we were just like that, okay, like that's mine,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: The school called and they were like, hey, ah, he
Speaker 1: really wants to wear the costume. And I said, I
Speaker 1: sent him in it. I knew he wouldn't let us
Speaker 1: take him out of it before he left. I figured
Speaker 1: it was not going to be an easy thing to do,
Speaker 1: So I just put Adler in a Marvel sweatshirt that
Speaker 1: has superheroes all over it, and their little sibling picture
Speaker 1: is going to be Hulk and his older brother, and
Speaker 1: it reminded me of picture Day at school. Do you
Speaker 1: guys remember picture Day? And do you have your school
Speaker 1: pictures where you go through that phase where your fake
Speaker 1: smile is just awful and you are so weird looking, Like,
Speaker 1: do you guys remember that, because I remember it very well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Will's going to get us something.
Speaker 3: Of course, grade I just remember looking back, I clearly
Speaker 3: did not have like in a great way. I didn't
Speaker 3: have any self consciousness. So like every picture was me
Speaker 3: just like just the goofiest, happiest little dweve like and
Speaker 3: that lasted all the way up until like fourth grade.
Speaker 3: Like I was just always like, eh, just smiling, you know,
Speaker 3: if they're sitting there with a puppet or whatever, I
Speaker 3: just go with it. So yeah, but then I, you know,
Speaker 3: by fifth by fourth grade, I was out of my
Speaker 3: fifth grade, I was out of public school. So I
Speaker 3: stopped taking pictures after that. So cute.
Speaker 1: I remember my having the pictures where you don't know
Speaker 1: how to do a real fake smile. So you're just
Speaker 1: like here's Will where oh my gosh, yes, here's you get.
Speaker 3: A little Milliam for Dell with your look at that.
Speaker 2: I got my bullet right there. That's eighth grade. So
Speaker 2: that's nineteen.
Speaker 1: What little cardigan are you wearing?
Speaker 2: It was one of my awesome cardigans, one of my
Speaker 2: many amazing cardigans. And then we talked about how I
Speaker 2: did not like high school. So I literally when pictures
Speaker 2: came up, I think I took like an old headshot
Speaker 2: and say, and you know, everybody writes all this stuff underneath,
Speaker 2: like this is the best time of my life, and
Speaker 2: oh my god, I did all this stuff. And they've
Speaker 2: got just lists of all the stuff that they loved
Speaker 2: and the things that they were doing. And I put
Speaker 2: an old high shot and wrote nothing.
Speaker 1: Wow, you just look at you.
Speaker 2: I was angry and there you go.
Speaker 1: Let me out of here, wrong paragraph next to you.
Speaker 1: This has been the most formative years of my life.
Speaker 2: Not a word, nothing, And so to show you. So
Speaker 2: that was Megan Friedman, who I went to school with. Obviously,
Speaker 2: we were always next to each other every year in pictures.
Speaker 2: And I uh still sleep in a T shirt that
Speaker 2: I was given at her bot mitzvah. No way that
Speaker 2: still says like Megan's Bob Mitzvah nineteen eighty whatever. I
Speaker 2: still have it, of course, and I still sleep in
Speaker 2: my T shirt. So there are my some of the
Speaker 2: pictures that I have, so.
Speaker 3: T shirt even lasts that long.
Speaker 2: Oh I've got T shirts? Are you kidding? I've got
Speaker 2: T shirts from literally when I was eight, nine, ten
Speaker 2: years old. I still have I can't.
Speaker 3: My favorite is my friend Rachel has. She broke her
Speaker 3: nose right before picture day.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: So she just has two black eyes and she's still smiling.
Speaker 3: It's the futest thing. She posted, like every year she
Speaker 3: posted on Instagram. It's one of the funniest things in
Speaker 3: the world.

Speaker 2: ever do like the family pictures?
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you're in Mills. Oh yeah and Mill.

Speaker 1: also on family vacation, she would make a big deal
Speaker 1: about we're gonna get a family photo here, We're gonna
Speaker 1: get a family photo here. But it would be like
Speaker 1: almost every night we'd try to take family pictures and
Speaker 1: I would always complain about it, and she would say
Speaker 1: to me, my whole life, she said to me, you're
Speaker 1: gonna appreciate these someday, And here I am thirty years
Speaker 1: later opening up my you know, my books, going, I'm

Speaker 3: so let's find it. I will post it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can we please? Because that's that's wonderful. Oh, I
Speaker 2: love those photos. Susan grew up in a family of photographers,
Speaker 2: so they're family there. There's picture everywhere where. My family
Speaker 2: we did like Christmas photos and that was great. My
Speaker 2: dad always thought the lens cap was on, even when
Speaker 2: it wasn't. It was like not that you're it took
Speaker 2: forever to take the photos. We'd have to wait on
Speaker 2: the stairs. It was the worst I.
Speaker 1: Have started the tradition of having a family photo shoot
Speaker 1: and we've done it now for the last couple of
Speaker 1: years around in fall, and we do like a fall
Speaker 1: family photo shoot and then we use that photo as
Speaker 1: like a Christmas card. But then also it is nice
Speaker 1: to have like every year to see the kids. Yeah,

Speaker 2: Ton of fun and we'd love to see you there.
Speaker 1: So today we are recapping season three, episode nineteen, I
Speaker 1: Was a Teenage Spy. It originally aired April twenty six,
Speaker 1: ninety six. The synopsis a freak microwave accident sends Corey
Speaker 1: back in time to nineteen fifty seven. As if that
Speaker 1: weren't enough, Corey ends up mistaken for a Russian spy
Speaker 1: because of the information he has about future technology. It
Speaker 1: was directed by David Traynor. It was written by Jeff C.
Speaker 3: Sherman. What did you guys think?
Speaker 2: I'll go first? Go first, because I knew what it
Speaker 2: was going in because it's just a romp and it's
Speaker 2: supposed to be ridiculous. I thought it was fun.
Speaker 3: I loved it. I thought I was absolutly loved it.
Speaker 1: That was fun.
Speaker 2: And do you, Danielle, were phenomenal in the same phenomenal sure.
Speaker 3: Sure, but right we will talk about with the New
Speaker 3: York accent. But otherwise you actually had character and like
Speaker 3: you were asserting yourself in such a way that Chepanga hasn't.
Speaker 3: And I am previously that you.
Speaker 2: Were supposed to lose the accent because he got through
Speaker 2: to who you really were and dropped the character because
Speaker 2: you are showing him who you really are.
Speaker 1: I thought that too. In the one scene where where
Speaker 1: I go from like kind of being like snappy snappy
Speaker 1: to them being like hey stop, I felt like that
Speaker 1: was intentional. But then for the rest of the episode
Speaker 1: it should have come back because she she does pop
Speaker 1: back into anyway. I thought that part was terrible. But
Speaker 1: I remember doing this episode. I remember thinking this was
Speaker 1: all so fun, and I thought then while watching it,
Speaker 1: of course there's some things that just like what is happening?
Speaker 1: It is an insane episode, But I loved it.
Speaker 3: Rider I did not love it, but you know, you
Speaker 3: could have guess that. I don't, you know. The insanity
Speaker 3: was just like the hits kept coming. I kept being like,
Speaker 3: who is this person? Why is there a Happy Days reference?
Speaker 3: Why is Pat Marina here? What is going on? None
Speaker 3: of it added up to I don't know. None of
Speaker 3: it made sense to me, and I don't understand the
Speaker 3: organized like it would start with one organizing principle of like,
Speaker 3: it's the nineteen fifties, and isn't it funny that the
Speaker 3: nineteen fifties, you know, didn't understand things, And then it's
Speaker 3: like but that then it'd because I don't I don't
Speaker 3: know why we have wax on wax offt I don't
Speaker 3: know why Alex is just playing the battles. But it's
Speaker 3: meta with its a fantasy.
Speaker 1: Maria specifically mentions it, it's your fantasy. Yeah, And so
Speaker 1: you know, we have the trope of oh, it was
Speaker 1: all a dream and that dreams are like that where
Speaker 1: you're like, why what's pat.
Speaker 3: Does happen? Yeahah, no, it was. It was not like
Speaker 3: I don't know, there's like something about like it's it's
Speaker 3: actually making me long for the days of us getting
Speaker 3: stuck in the subway because there was something there. There's
Speaker 3: like an organizing story principle that made the absurdity okay.
Speaker 3: Whereas this was just like I don't like this. Just
Speaker 3: felt so off the wall and referential in all these
Speaker 3: different directions, and I was like, I, actually, you know,
Speaker 3: if you take any individual thing, like the Tabanga storyline,
Speaker 3: I thought Tony was hysterical.
Speaker 1: It was great, Shaunz.
Speaker 3: I like the outfit. I like the way I look.
Speaker 3: I actually kind of fit in that nineteen fifties.
Speaker 1: So we get there all the time.
Speaker 3: But no, but my character doesn't pay off at all.
Speaker 3: I don't know why we're in. None of it makes
Speaker 3: sense to me, so, you know whatever.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Corey Kluck's like this, he walks from
Speaker 1: one scene into another scene.
Speaker 2: Cluck is it's a feverdream. It's a fever dream.
Speaker 3: It's amazing.
Speaker 2: I thought it was fun.
Speaker 3: I absolutely loved it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we have guest starring Tom Bosley as Tom Bosley,
Speaker 1: best known as the iconic TV dad Howard Cunningham on
Speaker 1: Happy Days, a show that clearly influenced the writers of
Speaker 1: Boy Meets World, Leather Jackets and all, And for this
Speaker 1: episode we get three cameos to prove it. There's also
Speaker 1: Anson Williams playing himself. He's the actor who played Patzi
Speaker 1: on Happy Days, a legend of the small screen as well,
Speaker 1: and then Pat Maurita as wise Man.
Speaker 3: Now remember that. No, it was a complete reshoot. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Pat Marita was added. We shot it a whole other week. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The original storyline was just a beat poem sequence with Alex,
Speaker 3: and I guess it didn't work for whatever reason. But
Speaker 3: it was just him playing the bongos and he was
Speaker 3: the wise Man that we went to talk to. But
Speaker 3: then they rewrote it and brought in Pat Rita because
Speaker 3: I guess we didn't have enough list stars or.
Speaker 1: That's so funny you say that. Right before we got
Speaker 1: to the wise Man scene, I said out loud to Jensen, Oh,
Speaker 1: the wise Man is that? The wise Man is Alex
Speaker 1: And Jensen looks at and Jensen looks at me and
Speaker 1: he goes, no, No, We're about ready to get into
Speaker 1: a whole new weird insanity thing. And then we see
Speaker 1: Alex as Bongos playing the bongos, and I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: I know he was he is wise Man, and I
Speaker 1: completely forgot that he remember in the original scene.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we shot the whole scene with him and then
Speaker 3: did reshoots like weeks later with Pat.
Speaker 2: You think it's just because because I'll guarantee you it
Speaker 2: wasn't that Alex was bad. You think it was just now.
Speaker 3: It was Alex being bad, But maybe the scene was bad,
Speaker 3: Like I remember, it was obviously like something was wrong
Speaker 3: with it. They were like, oh, let's let's we need
Speaker 3: to save this episode with more crazy.
Speaker 1: Right with Pat Merita.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: So most of the world knows Pat Marita as the
Speaker 1: unforgettable Mister Miyagi and the Karate Kid movies, but he
Speaker 1: also played Mitsumo Arnold Takahashi for twenty six episodes in
Speaker 1: season three of Happy Days. So there is a happy
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, rappy days.
Speaker 3: Yeah he ran he yeah, he ran the It does
Speaker 3: make more sense. The diner, it was a Happy Days reference,
Speaker 3: like the entire thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, that does make a lot more sense than
Speaker 3: anything else.
Speaker 1: You guys remember about the guest stars, Tom Bosley or
Speaker 1: Anson Williams, anything I remember.
Speaker 2: I think I would sat there and talk to especially
Speaker 2: Anton Williams about Happy Days, but I don't remember enough
Speaker 2: of it to like remember stories or anything. I love
Speaker 2: the meta stuff that they're putting in where he doesn't
Speaker 2: have like he has no last name or no no sir. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because that's what Pazzi and Ralph.
Speaker 1: He was well, and also a little bit like Sean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: seems like Potzi could have been a little bit of
Speaker 1: aspiration the Sean character.
Speaker 2: Well, there's there's also a big correlation between Sean and
Speaker 2: Phonsie for a number of reasons. Also, like Phonsie was
Speaker 2: supposed to be a one off character. He wasn't supposed
Speaker 2: to take over the show. He was originally called Masharelli.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like they changed his name, they gave
Speaker 2: him a bigger part. He became a kind of the
Speaker 2: same version of Sean, the same journey as Sean. So
Speaker 2: there's a lot of correlation between our shows.
Speaker 1: Also guest starring Christopher Darga as the Counterman. He's a
Speaker 1: recognizable character actor from movies like The Hudsucker, Proxy, Bruce Almighty,
Speaker 1: and Dude Whars My Car. I also recently had the
Speaker 1: opportunity to direct him on a Disney Channel show called
Speaker 1: Pretty Freaking Scary.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, of course, not absolutely not.
Speaker 1: He may have I'm thinking now, like it's entirely possible.
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, I was on Boy Meets World,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, cool, because I never remember
Speaker 1: anything but now when I see him again, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be like, hey, that's so crazy. And then Don sparks
Speaker 1: as deputy. He has a ton of credits as well,
Speaker 1: but I will focus on one as he is in
Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies, PS, I Love you Nice.
Speaker 1: So to start our recap, we are in Chubbies. Mister
Speaker 1: Williams and mister Turner walk up to Corey and say
Speaker 1: he's just the man they wanted to see. Turner asks,
Speaker 1: how would you like to help a couple teachers handout flyers?
Speaker 1: Corey tells him he wouldn't, and they respond by handing
Speaker 1: him the flyers and saying thanks a lot. As they
Speaker 1: bounce out of Chubby's. Corey tells Sean and Topanga, who
Speaker 1: are eating nearby, that this year's spring dance is a
Speaker 1: fifty sohop like anyone would want to go to this.
Speaker 1: He looks at Tapanga and quickly asks her do you
Speaker 1: want to go to this? To Panga, who has her
Speaker 1: hair her bangs combed back, did you guys realize that
Speaker 1: it's the first time I don't have Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: have my little bangs and they're like combed back into
Speaker 1: my hair.
Speaker 3: So at this point we may have been right where
Speaker 3: I have to put.
Speaker 1: On right, but it is not like my hair is
Speaker 1: flat to my head like it was in preparation for
Speaker 1: a wig. But I do wonder if they wanted to
Speaker 1: separate because the wig I wear has little bangs, and
Speaker 1: so I wonder if they wanted to make it, if
Speaker 1: they wanted to give it like a little differentiation where
Speaker 1: I looked a.
Speaker 2: Little different visual difference to wear it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not. It's not my favorite hair look
Speaker 1: for me. I was like, Oh, that's a little threw
Speaker 1: me off.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Is Corey back on wanting to date to Panga then?
Speaker 2: Because it seemed like they were both fine not and
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, it seems like they are
Speaker 2: setting it up to where he's been asking her out
Speaker 2: and why Yeah, I don't get it.
Speaker 3: Well, she even turns it back at him in the scene,
Speaker 3: is like, you broke up with me? Up with me?
Speaker 2: I didn't get any of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he says, just because we're not going out anymore,
Speaker 1: you don't want to go out anymore?
Speaker 3: What's that about?
Speaker 1: And then she says, well, you're the one who made
Speaker 1: the decision to just be friends. I don't think we
Speaker 1: should complicate that. Well, how very mature. Yeah, Corey urges her,
Speaker 1: it's a dance in socks. What's complicated about that? Tbanga
Speaker 1: correctly responds Corey is the one who broke up with her,
Speaker 1: don't you understand that? And Corey sinks back, of course,
Speaker 1: I know exactly where we stand, and if you're not careful,
Speaker 1: I'll break up with you again, and his signature.
Speaker 3: Banger.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also my sweater and favorite sweater in a
Speaker 2: different color. Oh, this is a different brown green version.
Speaker 2: And I don't know why I didn't have this one.
Speaker 1: Right, you should have had the This is like a dupe.
Speaker 1: You should have had it. Yeah, So Tapega tells him,
Speaker 1: you've got to stop living in the past, and she
Speaker 1: walks away. Sean tells Corey she's right, and Corey doubles
Speaker 1: down while looking at his soda. No, she's not, Sean,
Speaker 1: are you going to finish that? And Sean tells him
Speaker 1: it's yours, buddy. Corey takes the drink and says, of
Speaker 1: course it is. Because you're my friend and I'm your friend.
Speaker 1: That's the way it will always be, and there's nothing
Speaker 1: complicated about that. Corey keeps staring at Sean's fries, so
Speaker 1: he adds, you want my fries. Corey takes them and says,
Speaker 1: only if you're not going to finish them. So in
Speaker 1: case anybody who was watching the show wasn't didn't remember,
Speaker 1: Corey and Sean are very good friends.
Speaker 3: Yes, and for a romantic on off partner on off. Yes.
Speaker 2: It also looks like you guys both broke or were
Speaker 2: really close to breaking as you were as Danielle was
Speaker 2: leaving the scene. Huh.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 1: Writer was smiling as I was walking off, and I
Speaker 1: think I was breaking a little bit right as I
Speaker 1: was leaving, So there was some sort of joke that
Speaker 1: was either between writer and me or that something was
Speaker 1: going on, but we both kind of broke into into that.
Speaker 1: And there's another spot where I'm breaking over Rider's shoulder
Speaker 1: that I'll bring up later too. And then we're in
Speaker 1: the Matthew's kitchen. Eric can't get the microwave to work
Speaker 1: and Amy explains, oh, I unplugged it. It's been making
Speaker 1: this weird sound. Alan asks what kind of weird sound?
Speaker 1: And on cue, Eric plugs it back in and the
Speaker 1: power in the entire house goes on and off. And
Speaker 1: we hear Corey screaming upstairs. A frantic Corey runs into
Speaker 1: the kitchen, explaining his computer crashed. Eric passes the microwave
Speaker 1: cord to Morgan and tells her to hold it. She
Speaker 1: dryly says it was me. I did it.
Speaker 2: That was a very funny, funny.
Speaker 1: Ye, very well done, Cory says, my term paper on
Speaker 1: the space race is gone. Now I got to come
Speaker 1: up with ten pages on Sputnik and I've gotten nothing.
Speaker 1: Alan tries to help. Sputnik was the first satellite launched
Speaker 1: by the Russians nineteen fifty seven. People thought it was
Speaker 1: a bomb. Amy wearing the exact same outfit from the
Speaker 1: last episode when Eric dated Brenda Marsh.
Speaker 2: Oh really, wow, I did notice that the same outfit.
Speaker 1: It is the exact same the blue denim shirt tucked
Speaker 1: into high waisted red pants and her little sleeves are
Speaker 1: rolled up. It was and I noticed it in the
Speaker 1: last episodes. I thought, that is a cute outfit. And
Speaker 1: when we were talking about what does she do? I
Speaker 1: was like looking at her outfit to see is this
Speaker 1: gallerious outfit? Is this real? So I like specifically remembered
Speaker 1: the clothes she's wearing the full same outfit two weeks
Speaker 1: in a row.
Speaker 2: Huh huh. Interesting, Maybe that is her uniform.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't very odd.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what was going on earth or if
Speaker 1: these were aired out of order, and maybe they just
Speaker 1: thought we'll throw her in that same outfit. It was
Speaker 1: really cute when she wore a few episodes ago and
Speaker 1: not realizing they were gonna air back to back. So
Speaker 1: Amy says, it was a famous day in history. It
Speaker 1: created panic because everybody thought the Russians were putting up
Speaker 1: a spy satellite.
Speaker 3: Corey looks at them, puzzled. How do you know?
Speaker 1: How do you know so much? You're a grocer, Amy
Speaker 1: says in a Russian accent, we're really Russian spies, right,
Speaker 1: Boris and Alan responds yes, Natasha. Phoene then bolts in,
Speaker 1: saying he heard a scream. That's quite a scream. Foene
Speaker 1: heard it from all the way in his house.
Speaker 3: I know that Phoene's gonna come help.
Speaker 2: I knows, yeah, coming in to save them.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys notice gorgeous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, throughout the rest of the episode.
Speaker 3: It's but this one like a nice dark see, this
Speaker 3: is a good look for Bill. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh so, Corey breaks the news mister Feoenie, don't expect
Speaker 1: to get my paper on time, and Phoene responds, I
Speaker 1: never do.
Speaker 2: I'm about this paper very very quickly. I always say
Speaker 2: very quickly. Is I don't remember much of writing papers
Speaker 2: in high school? But isn't ten pages excessive?
Speaker 1: Feels like it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: For a high school paper, weren't they too? Maybe three
Speaker 2: pages long? If you have to write a paper, you
Speaker 2: have to write a ten page paper.
Speaker 3: I mean I would get like up to ten pages.
Speaker 3: I feel like that would take you would have like
Speaker 3: all semester to write.
Speaker 1: It, right right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this seemed it seemed excessive.
Speaker 1: The ten ten pages feels feels like too much, mister Phoenie.
Speaker 1: I think we should talk about it.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: Corey continues computer glitches, girlfriend glitches. You guys had it
Speaker 1: so easy going to high school way back in the fifties.
Speaker 1: Alan and Amy both quickly clarify late seventies. Phoene butts in,
Speaker 1: I was there communist switch hunts, mass paranoia, people diving
Speaker 1: under desks, the fear of the bomb was going to drop.
Speaker 1: It wasn't quite the happy days. Ha ha foreshadowing for.
Speaker 3: Shadowing for the episode show it wasn't.
Speaker 1: Quite the happy days you would think. Corey assures him,
Speaker 1: maybe you didn't have a good time, but I bet
Speaker 1: I would. He plugs the microwave and gets fully electrocuted,
Speaker 1: sending him back and forth between present day and the
Speaker 1: fifties in what's not like not so much special effects
Speaker 1: as much as like just quick.
Speaker 2: I felt like that could have been and better.
Speaker 3: Better, something they could have done.
Speaker 2: Yes, even for ninety six on a sitcom, just him
Speaker 2: shaking and then him shaking the other he's not even
Speaker 2: standing the same way. It's like, I feel like there
Speaker 2: could have been some kind of it doesn't have to
Speaker 2: be a special effect, but maybe some effect could have.
Speaker 2: It was strange.
Speaker 1: And then finally we enter our first ever Boy meets
Speaker 1: World time travel episode and Corey is in slims, which
Speaker 1: was nice.
Speaker 3: These did we do? We did this one, we did
Speaker 3: the nineteen forties world or is World War two to one?
Speaker 2: And then yeah, so we go to the future twice.
Speaker 2: There's the one where Eric has the comb over and
Speaker 2: then the place with squirrels one right, So that's I
Speaker 2: think the only times we go there.
Speaker 1: I loved it. I don't know how I'm gonna feel
Speaker 1: about all of them, but man, I really thought this
Speaker 1: one was super fun.
Speaker 2: So then we're in Slims.
Speaker 3: I yeah to me, I remember not liking it at
Speaker 3: the time, and I can tell that I'm not having
Speaker 3: any fun, and I think it's just I don't know
Speaker 3: what's happening. I'm like, why are we doing this? And
Speaker 3: I still kind of feel that way. I'm still looking
Speaker 3: at it, Quen writer, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1: I probably really loved it because I did get to
Speaker 1: do something so out of the norm, and I was
Speaker 1: finally like a real part of the episode. So Cory
Speaker 1: is holding the plug to a jukebox now and the
Speaker 1: music abruptly stops. To Panga, now fully in nineteen fifties,
Speaker 1: get up and apparently from New York or New Jersey.
Speaker 2: All from New York, everybody's all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: She yells at him, Hey you read Jet red Jet. Although,
Speaker 3: oh my god, I've been watching Grace over and over
Speaker 3: and over again.
Speaker 1: She says, hey, Howdy Dooty would dance in here? Why'd
Speaker 1: you pull the plug? Corey tells her sorry, and he
Speaker 1: plugs it back in to Panga goes back to doing
Speaker 1: the twist, and Cory says, wait a minute, to Panga,
Speaker 1: is this the so cop? Did you decide to come
Speaker 1: with me? I was having an absolute blast being able
Speaker 1: to do an accent and getting to wear this outfit.
Speaker 1: And I've I've talked about this before. I will scream
Speaker 1: it from the rooftops. But those shoes I'm wearing were
Speaker 1: loose seal Ball's shoes. Yeah, it's so cool, and they
Speaker 1: were at least a half a size too small, and
Speaker 1: my little toes were just jammed in there.
Speaker 3: But I was like, give you a little bit of
Speaker 3: extra energy.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a hurt. Wait a second, So you're fourteen,
Speaker 1: fourteen or fifteen? Yeah, fourteen or.
Speaker 2: Fifteen, and Lucille Ball has already has feet that are
Speaker 2: like smaller than your Like you have pretty small feet.
Speaker 1: For a girl, right, Actually, don't know how tight I
Speaker 1: am for being five to one. I actually I'm a
Speaker 1: six and a half, which isn't like a big foot
Speaker 1: by any means, but for people who are my height,
Speaker 1: some people have like four and a half or a five.
Speaker 1: My mom is a five and a half and I'm
Speaker 1: a six and a half, so I have had pretty
Speaker 1: small feet. Sh had small feet. I think she was
Speaker 1: probably a size six. Okay, interesting, So Topanga yells for
Speaker 1: no reason, what are you cracked? I don't date guys,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Corey's confused. The cashier yells bet to everyone. Hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: you zoo full of weenies, shake a leg. Time to
Speaker 1: get back to school. I'm assuming you zoo full of
Speaker 1: wienies was common fifties vernacular.
Speaker 2: Fifty one, that's what's stowing your fifties?
Speaker 3: Are we here for breakfast dancing? We're away from school,
Speaker 3: but we're gonna go back to school.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: It's brunch. It's brunches, slims.
Speaker 1: Right right, brunch of slims. Everybody blimbs. Everybody gets a
Speaker 1: forty minute break. So as the kids start to leave,
Speaker 1: Corey walks up to the cashier and asks, what year
Speaker 1: is this. The man responds, it's nineteen fifty seven. What's
Speaker 1: the matter, kid? You flip your wig. Corey's in disbelief
Speaker 1: it happened. I'm here Great Caesar's Ghosts. I've gone back
Speaker 1: in time and I had to look up Great Caesar's
Speaker 1: ghost because I was like, what is this that we
Speaker 1: are saying? And it is a reference to a forties
Speaker 1: and fifties Superman radio show catchphrase for the character Perry White.
Speaker 1: That is quite a deep cut.
Speaker 3: Obviously, is that a fifties saying? I think that's a
Speaker 3: fifties saying, And to give Corey a same from the
Speaker 3: forties for no reason?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I guess, well, because Corey in this fever
Speaker 1: dream is obsessed with the fifties just because he thinks
Speaker 1: he would have had a good time there. So then
Speaker 1: we're in the school hallway and we see an establishing
Speaker 1: shot of the same school we've seen an establishing shot.
Speaker 3: Obviously dressed kids up in the fifties, and they shot out,
Speaker 3: Y're just great.
Speaker 2: Where is this school?
Speaker 3: It's in Los Felis. It is in Los Felis, at
Speaker 3: least the school that we normally show is in Los Felis.
Speaker 3: But I don't know where this front lawn is at
Speaker 3: that school. This might be a different school than when
Speaker 3: are normal one.
Speaker 2: And you don't think this is stock footage like they
Speaker 2: have the fifties version. You think they went out and
Speaker 2: actually shot I think.
Speaker 3: The show maybe because the school that I passed the
Speaker 3: school all the time. When I go into my to
Speaker 3: my in laws, it's like it's in Los Felis.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And actually had somebody point out to me once, like
Speaker 3: I was at a coffee shop and they're like, you know,
Speaker 3: you went to school right around here. I'm like, what
Speaker 3: are you talking about.
Speaker 1: That's so funny the exterior fear.
Speaker 3: I was like, that's so funny. But yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: think it has this lawn in front. So this might
Speaker 3: be stock footage where they shot somewhere else for this. Wow.
Speaker 1: We'll have to ask Kendall about whether or not it
Speaker 1: was shot for just for this or if it was
Speaker 1: stock footage. So Corey exclaims it really is the fifties.
Speaker 1: This is hunky dory.
Speaker 3: He sees Sean in a new.
Speaker 1: Totally different leather jacket and says, hey, hey, hey, all right,
Speaker 1: you're here too nineteen fifty. Sean doesn't even shake Corey's hand.
Speaker 1: And now we notice he is a greaser's haircut. And
Speaker 1: let me say, Hotty hot Hot, I should have Coddy
Speaker 1: hot Hot.
Speaker 3: I remember greasing my hair back in the in the
Speaker 3: way in the hair room and being like we should
Speaker 3: be doing this all the time. This looks this is
Speaker 3: a good look for me with the wasted pants on
Speaker 3: they looked great.
Speaker 2: Should so this is what did it for you back
Speaker 2: in the day.
Speaker 3: There, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: If this is Rider ninety six, we already know that's
Speaker 1: what my diary is from.
Speaker 3: This is the time.
Speaker 2: I'm peak Rider strong, crush strong, Hatty.
Speaker 1: Mccotson's so Corey. He tells Cory, don't handle the merchandise
Speaker 1: unless you intend on paying the price? And writer, do
Speaker 1: you think you're doing any sort of like Danny McNulty impression?
Speaker 3: Totally? That's what I kept thinking about. It is basically,
Speaker 3: I'm just I've become him.
Speaker 1: Right, You're just a person in an episode because.
Speaker 3: He was the very much the nineteen fifties like New
Speaker 3: York reserah bad boy, yeah yeah, And I'm just like,
Speaker 3: it's the rhythm of every line is exactly Danny McNulty.
Speaker 1: Every day, our writers are like, how can we get
Speaker 1: some grease?
Speaker 2: We need something?
Speaker 1: How can we do it? In this episode New.
Speaker 3: York Fifties gangster. I should have just called him baboom
Speaker 3: the whole episode. I know you're right, I.
Speaker 2: Think, but that's also going to the to the Fever dream,
Speaker 2: Shawn Ze kind of becomes Harley. Everything gets twisted together.
Speaker 2: I mean, sure, yeah, I buy it all right.
Speaker 1: Corey laughs and tells Sean, come on, it's me, and
Speaker 1: Sean responds, first of all, I don't know who me is,
Speaker 1: and second of all, it ain't Shawn. It's Shawnsi, as
Speaker 1: he pops the collar on his jacket, and that's our
Speaker 1: first real happy Day's reference of the script. Corey tries
Speaker 1: to tell him we're best friends. Shawnsi says, you see,
Speaker 1: I don't have any friends. I'm a loner. Corey disagrees,
Speaker 1: deep down, you really need a good buddy who's always
Speaker 1: going to be there for you. It's what we always do.
Speaker 1: Shawnzi reaches into his pocket. Okay, buddy boy, why don't
Speaker 1: you hold this, and he hands Cory a ping pong racket.
Speaker 1: Corey questions, Ping Pong, huh I love ping pong? Got
Speaker 1: a ball right on cue. Mister Feenie, who looks about
Speaker 1: four months younger than regular modern day Bill Daniels, comes
Speaker 1: walking out with a dark mustache, and he's coming out
Speaker 1: of the principal's office when a box full of ping
Speaker 1: pong balls falls on him and Feenie yells out, Shonzi Hunterrelly,
Speaker 1: I warned you that your next Shenanigan would be your last.
Speaker 1: And Corey and er Jacks it wasn't him, it was me.
Speaker 1: And it's here that I noticed there is a poster
Speaker 1: in the hallways of a black and white little girl
Speaker 1: photo that says, fight polio.
Speaker 2: It's just all right. In the back on the wall,
Speaker 2: a black potgraph, a blood driver, blood yep so.
Speaker 1: Phoeney responds, Ah, a new student trying to make a
Speaker 1: name for himself, and that name is and Shawnzi leans
Speaker 1: into Corey. If he doesn't know, you be smart, make
Speaker 1: one up, and I guess even though mister phoene is
Speaker 1: four months younger, he is deaf because because that he
Speaker 1: didn't hear sean say that, and Corey stumbles, my name
Speaker 1: is Brad Pitzer. Phoene responds, well, mister Pitzer, if you
Speaker 1: want to keep your nose clean around here, I suggest
Speaker 1: that you steer clear of bad apples like this Johnny
Speaker 1: rotten seed. And as Phoene leaves, oh yeah. As Phoene leaves,
Speaker 1: Shaanzi says, Pitzer, you piped up for me when you
Speaker 1: didn't have to. If I was the type to say
Speaker 1: thank you, I would, And Corey says, you're welcome. But
Speaker 1: Shaunzi cuts him off. But I'm not that type of guy,
Speaker 1: and he walks off, and then we're in the school
Speaker 1: hallway continued, Phoene is measuring Tapanga's hair with a ruler,
Speaker 1: telling her young lady, her hair is far too high,
Speaker 1: a clear violation of school policy and a hazard to
Speaker 1: all low flying aircraft. Tapanga responds, if I see an
Speaker 1: arrow plane, I'll duck all rightly, tells her. And pen
Speaker 1: he tells her to spit out that gum. She spits
Speaker 1: it into a nearby trash can and it clinks loudly
Speaker 1: with an over the top sound effect. And I remember
Speaker 1: thinking that was so fun that I got to one
Speaker 1: spit gum, one chew gum, because I loved to chew gum.
Speaker 1: So one I got to chew gum. Two I got
Speaker 1: to spit that gum from my mouth far into a
Speaker 1: trash can. And then that we were gonna do with
Speaker 1: the sound, A little bit of a cheesy thing with
Speaker 1: the sound, but I loved it.
Speaker 2: Also. The thing that I love is every time you
Speaker 2: spit it, it goes. It's one move, you go puting
Speaker 2: and you turn around and put the other piece right
Speaker 2: back in your eye exactly one move the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: I love it too. So Corey walks up to Tapanga.
Speaker 1: There you are. She grabs his collar and throws him
Speaker 1: against a locker and a little nod to the Corey's Alternative.
Speaker 2: Friends episode doing it again.
Speaker 1: She points her finger in his chest and tells him listen, Archie,
Speaker 1: the name's t L. Corey clarifies as into pang Lawrence,
Speaker 1: and she says no, as in tough luck for suckers
Speaker 1: who don't know better, and then she walks away, smacking
Speaker 1: him on the face as Corey announces I'm in love.
Speaker 1: Then the bell rings and Turner emerges from his classroom
Speaker 1: with his hair slicked back, glasses on, and a sweater
Speaker 1: vest underneath his suit jacket.
Speaker 3: So who is he doing? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Character Kent, he laughed, the entire Park Kent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like a little bit of a Clark Kent.
Speaker 1: He looked a little Clark Kent, and Clark Kent had
Speaker 1: that little bit of like a I'm really kind of
Speaker 1: a buttoned up, a little bit of a nerdy guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's what it.
Speaker 3: It's funny that the like I like that, you know,
Speaker 3: Eric is clearly established it's like the opposite of who
Speaker 3: he really is. So is the idea that, like Turner
Speaker 3: has become a nerd, or she.
Speaker 1: Has comics, he's a little more Archie's comics as opposed
Speaker 1: to like laid back motorcycle guy he's or you.
Speaker 3: Know, you can tell Tony is having so much so
Speaker 3: he just keeps.
Speaker 2: Trying to make me laugh. This was a week where
Speaker 2: he just keep kept trying to make me laugh because
Speaker 2: one of the lines he says, coming.
Speaker 1: Up here, I wonder if it's the same hold. I
Speaker 1: wonder if it's the same one. I think I pulled it.
Speaker 1: I pulled an audio clip because it's one of my
Speaker 1: favorite things. I watched it like five times. So Turner
Speaker 1: is yelling at students. All right, guys, I heard a
Speaker 1: bell that means everyone into class.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: None of the student's budge, so he pleads, oh, come on,
Speaker 1: it's my first day. You're gonna make me look bad.
Speaker 1: It's also kind of how Tony looks now like it
Speaker 1: looks like modern day Tony's. So then we're in Turner's classroom.
Speaker 1: All the students are yelling and throwing paper at one another.
Speaker 1: None of them are paying attention to Turner, and he's yelling, Settle, settle,
Speaker 1: what does it take to calm you kids down? Shawnsy
Speaker 1: snaps his fingers and the class goes silent, taking their seats.
Speaker 1: Shawnsy says, go on, teach, make your MoMA proud. Turner
Speaker 1: starts his lesson today. Our topic for discussion what will
Speaker 1: life be like in forty years? Who wants to go first?
Speaker 3: Young lady?
Speaker 1: Your hair is up? Which I thought was a very
Speaker 1: funny line. Tl scoffs at him so and asks Shawnzy
Speaker 1: the same question, and Shaunze tells him I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm having for lunch. Corey eagerly
Speaker 1: raises his hand and responds, forty years from now, I
Speaker 1: can say with total confidence, a man will walk on
Speaker 1: the moon, pizza will have cheese baked into the crust,
Speaker 1: and men and women will be equal partners in the
Speaker 1: workplace and in their relationships.
Speaker 3: In nineteen ninety six, are we.
Speaker 1: Going with the idea that women were equal partners in
Speaker 1: the workplace and in relationships? Because I all know a
Speaker 1: few very intelligent women who would like to have a word.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure. So.
Speaker 1: Then everyone looks at Corey like he's crazy, and Turner laughs,
Speaker 1: what in imagination? Tell us more about that pizza. Corey
Speaker 1: shakes his head.
Speaker 3: That's all I got.
Speaker 1: Turner responds, good enough, because right now it's time to
Speaker 1: put on our helmets and practice our civil defense drills.
Speaker 3: And then I noticed Dusty is in the audience.
Speaker 1: There, Yes, yes, Dusty is there. And I love nineteen
Speaker 1: fifties Dusty, maybe even more than I love nineteen nineties.
Speaker 1: Dusty gets saying something, It was so great to see
Speaker 1: him sitting there. It was amazing. So Turner puts his
Speaker 1: helmet on and explains, explains, the atomic bomb falls. We
Speaker 1: see a brilliant flash.
Speaker 3: Now what do we do?
Speaker 1: The class says in unison, we duck and cover, and
Speaker 1: everyone jumps under their seats, well everyone except Corey. Turner
Speaker 1: looks at him and says a line, I am completely
Speaker 1: obsessed with.
Speaker 2: Thank you. This is we said this forever.
Speaker 1: You're dead, Brad, let's play it.
Speaker 2: You're dead, Brad, you're dead. Bread, you're dead, Brad, you're dead.
Speaker 3: Brad.
Speaker 2: Wait one more time, Brad, you're dead. Brad, you're dead. Bread.
Speaker 2: And he would do that to me, Bread all the time,
Speaker 2: you're dead, Bred. And it was at one time, he said, Pitzer.
Speaker 2: So the first take you went, you're dead Pitzer, and
Speaker 2: it was like it was so Jim Carrey, Jim married,
Speaker 2: and so we'd be on the golf course and somebody
Speaker 2: would hit it. We'd hit a shot somewhere and you
Speaker 2: just look at me and go, you're dead Pitzer.
Speaker 3: It was you're dead.
Speaker 1: Brad cracks me.
Speaker 3: It's funny because I'm listening.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the clip, and there is something so
Speaker 1: necessary about seeing his face because there is just a
Speaker 1: way a thing he's doing slightly with his mouth too,
Speaker 1: that is hilarious. You're dead bread, You're dead bread. So
Speaker 1: Corey is amused, mister Turner, you're telling me that if
Speaker 1: the atomic bomb falls, I'll be safe if I go
Speaker 1: like this, flailing his arms above his head, and Turner explains, no, no,
Speaker 1: you've got to drop to the ground, ducked under a desk,
Speaker 1: curl up, cover your neck, and Corey finishes and kiss
Speaker 1: your butt goodbye. And then Turner pops up and sternly
Speaker 1: asks who said that? Who said? But Bay shawnsy lies
Speaker 1: and says, I did, mister Turner, I said, but.
Speaker 3: I mean he was talking to Corey, right, says the word.
Speaker 3: But in response, I mean, why does he not know? Well,
Speaker 3: because he did have his head under the desk.
Speaker 1: So the entire for this moment, it's a really forced story.
Speaker 3: Could have used a little bit of a rewrite there
Speaker 3: on that couple. It maybe make a little.
Speaker 1: Bit of like human said the same thing. When we
Speaker 1: were watching, it was like, but he was talking to Corey.
Speaker 1: Yeah he should have known it was Corey, But I
Speaker 1: don't know. Guys, I disagree. I was like, well, his
Speaker 1: head was down. He could very He's not gonna he
Speaker 1: very easily could say I didn't see who said it.
Speaker 1: I just heard a voice and dream who's gonna say it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well anyway, so, uh, this is a little bit of
Speaker 1: a role reversal from the open. Turner tells Shawnzi, that's
Speaker 1: it this time, you've gone too far hunter Elly. Corey
Speaker 1: laughs for saying, but Shawnze assures Corey this one's on me.
Speaker 1: Corey asks how come, and he says, it's what we've
Speaker 1: always done. Turner grabs Shawnzy by the ear and he
Speaker 1: drags him out of class.
Speaker 3: Oh I like that.
Speaker 1: I was like, let's do the air thing. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: happens all the time, and then we're in the school hallway.
Speaker 1: We see a picture of the current president, Dwight D.
Speaker 1: Eisenhower in the school hallway as Corey is making a call.
Speaker 1: He's asking for Dean Witter. He calls up a stock brokerage,
Speaker 1: Dean Witter Reynolds, and the Dean Witter picks up. He commands, Yes,
Speaker 1: I'd like to buy some Xerox stock. Never heard of it?
Speaker 1: Huh what about IBM selling it? A Nicolas Cheryl? Take
Speaker 1: them all, tack them all, right, right? Then Eric appears
Speaker 1: with mister Foenie, wearing a Letterman sweater and looking kind
Speaker 1: of Mormon. Yeah, he announces in a new preppy gray
Speaker 1: poupon eating Westport, Connecticut accent. Here's the thing. I've been
Speaker 1: accepted to both Harvard and Yale. You're my mentor, what's
Speaker 1: your advice? And Phoene tells him you'd be a fine
Speaker 1: student at either institution, and Eric laughs, undoubtedly I would, but.
Speaker 3: They've asked me to teach.
Speaker 1: Phoene says, as you know, mister Matthews so great.
Speaker 3: And my hair.
Speaker 2: I think isn't that called a DA?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's called the da, which is a ducks,
Speaker 2: which is if you look at the back, it's it's
Speaker 2: like all shaped into like a triangle in the back,
Speaker 2: like a duck's booty.
Speaker 3: By I think you mean who said that?
Speaker 2: Who said that?
Speaker 3: Nope, not us, not us looking right at us.
Speaker 1: But Phoene says, as you know, mister Matthews, there are
Speaker 1: no females at Harvard. Eric uncharacteristically explains, well, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want anything to distract me from my intellectual pursuits.
Speaker 3: Harvard it is.
Speaker 1: Phoene turns around to see a dumbfounded Corey Ah Young Pitzer,
Speaker 1: enjoying your first day. Corey responds, yes, thank you, but
Speaker 1: about Shonzie, And just then he's cut off by t
Speaker 1: L yelling, why, mister Phoenie, why are you sending Shawnzi
Speaker 1: off to a reform school? Hill Rotten? There, I tell you,
Speaker 1: rot rot. Corey agrees, asking can't you give him another chance?
Speaker 1: And Phoene says, no, mister HUNTERRELLI has run out of chances.
Speaker 1: As for you, Missy, I suggest you mend your wayward
Speaker 1: ways and spit out that gum and I spit into
Speaker 1: the trash can and it makes another cartoonish clanking sound,
Speaker 1: and it feels like too much when I watch it now,
Speaker 1: but I loved it at the time. Corey sized, man,
Speaker 1: things aren't as perfect around here as I thought they'd be.
Speaker 1: TL responds, I say, we blow this dump and head
Speaker 1: to Slims and grab a burger. Cory smiles. I got
Speaker 1: a better idea. How about we go to the zoo
Speaker 1: and see the giraffes.
Speaker 2: Ah oh, let's getting to her now.
Speaker 3: We haven't established this giraffe thing before. Nope, no, And
Speaker 3: in fact, your favorite ice cream is chunky Monkey.
Speaker 1: With chunky Monkey didn't exist because that's a Ben and
Speaker 1: Jerry's flavor. So they found like a so but Corey
Speaker 1: knows that.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Ry knows that they hadn't been invented yet,
Speaker 2: so he found his uh founder other kind right yeah? Uh.
Speaker 1: TL wonders, and why would I want to do a
Speaker 1: thing like that? Huh, Corey continues, And after the zoo,
Speaker 1: we'll get some Rocky Road ice cream? She yiels at him.
Speaker 1: Who do you think you are thinking? I like them
Speaker 1: giraffes and Rocky Road ice cream out of nowhere like this?
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: Corey explains to Panga, I know you better than anybody,
Speaker 1: and she responds without an accent. I told you quit
Speaker 1: calling me to Panga. Corey keeps smiling at her like
Speaker 1: Norman Bates. She adds, and stop looking at me like that.
Speaker 3: So disrespecting her requests and making her uncomfortable. That's the game, hot,
Speaker 3: that's what she but by the end, that's that's cool. Games.
Speaker 3: Let's work. Just stare at her creepily. Its f I mean,
Speaker 3: she just couldn't get enough.
Speaker 2: We'll get into that a little later because she gets
Speaker 2: a little crazy at some point at it's like.
Speaker 1: Steemies, little steamy action. He doesn't stop basically looking through
Speaker 1: her nose, so she says, you're giving me the hev gebies,
Speaker 1: and then we're in the school hallway continuing. Phoene then
Speaker 1: runs in frantically and announces, I have dire news. The
Speaker 1: Russian Russians have launched a satellite. All the students gasp.
Speaker 1: Phoene continues, Our government thinks it's a spy satellite with
Speaker 1: an atomic warhead. Turner then runs into the hallway with
Speaker 1: his helmet on, yelling flash and everyone gets down on
Speaker 1: the floor, and then Jensen yelled. At this moment, this
Speaker 1: episode is unhinged.
Speaker 3: It took this long to reach unhinged.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: At this point, he was like, what is when it
Speaker 3: really goes over it? Because when the Russian spy thing
Speaker 3: is when it cranks to the next lie it does.
Speaker 3: It's just like Happy Days references and Hi School like
Speaker 3: jokes on our show.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, and then all of a sudden it becomes
Speaker 1: a little crazier, but he was still in Corey realizes
Speaker 1: Russian satellite nineteen fifty seven. He knows this, He explains, calmly, Hey, guys, relax,
Speaker 1: it's only Sputnik. Turner looks up frantically, Sputnik. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: parents told me about it. It's not a bomb, and
Speaker 1: it's not for spying. The Russians are just doing some
Speaker 1: space travel experiments and this arms race thing.
Speaker 3: Trust me.
Speaker 1: Where I'm from, no one even worries about it. And
Speaker 1: Phoene asks Corey, and where would that be, mister Pitzer Moscow.
Speaker 1: Turner yells, grab that boy, Bradley Pittzer's a spy. Eric
Speaker 1: grabs Corey and Corey tries to tell him, Eric, please,
Speaker 1: I'm your brother, Eric Ortward's comrade. You mean, it doesn't
Speaker 1: take a Harvard genius and future captain of industry like
Speaker 1: myself to realize you're a trader to these United States.
Speaker 1: Thinking on his feet, Colory Yell's flash and everyone in
Speaker 1: the hallway goes down and ducks recover and Corey runs
Speaker 1: away while he has the chance. I love it.
Speaker 3: I love it all.
Speaker 2: I want to when we get into the next scene.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the family dynamic because I
Speaker 2: don't understand it.
Speaker 1: I will.
Speaker 3: It's a fever dream, of.
Speaker 1: Course, that.
Speaker 3: Literally, no, No, it's a fever dream. But the chickenhead
Speaker 3: makes sense.
Speaker 2: So how how who's.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's my question. I don't understand the relations.
Speaker 2: Yes, who's supposed to be related? Right? But Eric and
Speaker 2: Corey are brothers in this one?
Speaker 3: Well are they?
Speaker 1: But Eric seemed to know that, right, but Morgan Morgan
Speaker 1: does sister Morgan buys it that that's she's like my
Speaker 1: brother your hey, mom said, she says. But then but
Speaker 1: Tom Allen says he's not. He says, we have a visitor, right, Well,
Speaker 1: he's definitely not his dad. He takes the dimeback, you're
Speaker 1: not My dad didn't give me the dimeback? And then
Speaker 1: Alan and Amy are his parents?
Speaker 3: Are they?
Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand that the rest.
Speaker 2: Of it makes perfect sense agree. I agree with you, Will.
Speaker 3: Will I completely agree with you. I am right there
Speaker 3: with you.
Speaker 1: I I buy everything else and scene I was like, wait.
Speaker 3: Is the dad? And then are they?
Speaker 1: I did the exact same thing, but I I was
Speaker 1: in so funny, so funny.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you guys. Incredulity is mine from moment.
Speaker 3: Wont so right? So okay, I love that. This is
Speaker 3: where you draw the question is question is happening? Oh
Speaker 3: my god? So then we're back from the commercial. We're
Speaker 3: in the school hallway.
Speaker 1: Eric assures everyone, all right, that's why I couldn't have
Speaker 1: gotten far, and as he confidently walks away, t L
Speaker 1: says all clear. Shawnsey hits the locker behind him and
Speaker 1: Corey is hiding inside. He lets shawn Zy know he
Speaker 1: hit him right in the forehead, and Shawnzi responds, perfect
Speaker 1: name perfect. T L reminds them we got a scram
Speaker 1: before that bunch comes back. Cory says, yeah, but they'll
Speaker 1: recognize me, and t L tells him not in this
Speaker 1: clever disguise, they won't. And she pulls out those glasses
Speaker 1: that have a big nose, fuzzy eyebrows, and a mustache
Speaker 1: attached to them like Groucho marks, and they all run
Speaker 1: away quickly into the Matthew's backyard slash side yard. They
Speaker 1: land in the familiar set and Shaunzi asks why Corey
Speaker 1: wanted to come here. He explains, whenever things get crazy,
Speaker 1: it's the one place I can count on. T L
Speaker 1: excitedly asks is this the secret headquarters for you and
Speaker 1: the rest of the Russian spies? And Corey clarifies I'm
Speaker 1: not a Russian spy. Shahn Ze stops him. Hey, whatever,
Speaker 1: friends don't need to explain nothing. Cory smiles and asks,
Speaker 1: I thought you didn't have friends, and Shaunzy smiles, I didn't.
Speaker 1: Now I do.
Speaker 3: So Shawn's willing to sell out shaun Zy. Shaunzie is
Speaker 3: selling out his nation for a friend for your.
Speaker 2: Friendship man, and it also is turning on to Panga
Speaker 2: every state. It's like, She's like, why is this where
Speaker 2: You're with the other Russian spy.
Speaker 3: It's like, wow, where where listen? Friendship? It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: We have no loyalty to these United States. We only
Speaker 1: have loyalty to the sky.
Speaker 3: We just it just he took the fall for the
Speaker 3: ping pong thing, and I am d G L.
Speaker 1: T L dude.
Speaker 3: So she doesn't care. She's like, wow, wrapping your legs
Speaker 3: around him.
Speaker 2: I want to know if that was a that doesn't
Speaker 2: seem like a direction, that seemed like a Danielle thing.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I don't know I did do that, did you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I have a picture.
Speaker 1: I have a picture doing it in a polaroid. I
Speaker 1: don't know why that was like a thing I did.
Speaker 1: Here's the nineties.
Speaker 3: The kissing in this episode. It's probably the most.
Speaker 1: Well, we don't know. You just normally can't see me
Speaker 1: behind my horse hair. Maybe I've been doing that the
Speaker 1: whole time, but I have this wig on and you're
Speaker 1: doing all the work. Ben is just like he's just
Speaker 1: taking your kiss, and you're like.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, I want to l D shirt.
Speaker 1: Corey does this weird looking at t L thing again,
Speaker 1: and she snaps, I thought I told you not to
Speaker 1: look at me like that, and Corey tells her, sorry,
Speaker 1: I can't help it.
Speaker 3: You respect your boundaries. I'm just gonna stare at you
Speaker 3: creepily and it's gonna work. It's gonna win you. But
Speaker 3: I'm getting the vibe YOU'RDT. Yeah, if I annoy you
Speaker 3: and don't listen to you enough, just.
Speaker 2: Get a stare at you.
Speaker 3: That's what every woman wants.
Speaker 1: So they hear a dog barking and Eric's voice saying,
Speaker 1: come on, you can find one Russian spy your Harvard
Speaker 1: trained dogs, and Corey runs into the Matthew's kitchen, which
Speaker 1: is the same right now with fifties. Decore love this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's my favorite part. It's the redecoration and
Speaker 3: the production like this and Chubby's and the apartment. I
Speaker 3: love all of the like, but I wish he has
Speaker 3: a school, had a little bit more of it.
Speaker 2: Get it? But is it? I know? But he is it?
Speaker 2: He is the only thing throwing me about the whole God, yeah,
Speaker 2: his house.
Speaker 3: Why does he live there?
Speaker 2: And Eric because she's like dad, she's talking like their.
Speaker 3: Brother and sister.
Speaker 1: Is Eric there?
Speaker 2: Does he not know what's going on?
Speaker 3: You can't you can't question it. It's just fun. Jeez, God,
Speaker 3: you guys sticks in the mud. She's gonna go with it,
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Cory opens the door, he lets himself in, yelling
Speaker 1: mom Dad. He sees treats on the table, homemade brownies. Okay,
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be all right. And this would all make
Speaker 1: more sense if it were the sixties and King and
Speaker 1: Lynn had made those brownies.
Speaker 3: I I was waiting for some kind of brownie reference.
Speaker 3: Was like, is just a reference to something from the
Speaker 3: fifties or is there some But no, he just brownies, just.
Speaker 1: Just a brownie. Morgan walks down the stairs, scolding him. Ah,
Speaker 1: Mom said no one can touch those brownies till after dinner.
Speaker 1: So she is his sister, mister right, And He's.
Speaker 3: Like, even though Eric doesn't recognize him.
Speaker 2: That's what So Eric is not part of the family,
Speaker 2: or is maybe Tom Bosley's kid, but is not Alan
Speaker 2: and Amy Russian.
Speaker 3: Kids, I know this part's rowing heart. Suddenly we need
Speaker 3: some logic. So he asks where's mom and dad?
Speaker 1: And Morgan responds Mom's out, but dad is upstairs. And
Speaker 1: then a man walks down the stairs saying, hey, kids,
Speaker 1: it's Tom Bosley.
Speaker 3: Every kid, it's like, who why does this matter? And
Speaker 3: their parents smile and not superior.
Speaker 1: He's the aforementioned dad from Happy Days. He says, Hi, kitten,
Speaker 1: Hi son, Okay son there Allowance Corey, puzzled says, but
Speaker 1: I'm not your son, and then the boss jokes, well,
Speaker 1: then give me back my dime. There's a knock at
Speaker 1: the door and Corey hopes it's his dad.
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 1: It's Anson Williams. Cory says, wait a minute.
Speaker 3: He was Anton Williams.
Speaker 1: He was also on Potzy.
Speaker 3: What is Potsy? Who's Potzy? So that's a person's niche.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, rich Richie had two friends, Potzy and Ralph Mouth.
Speaker 3: Who's Richie? Richie cunning Start was the cory of who is?
Speaker 3: But I thought Richie Cunningham was who was afraid that
Speaker 3: your dad was? Your dad was afraid that you were
Speaker 3: going to be Richie Cunningham.
Speaker 2: No, I was going to be Chucky Cunningham. The first
Speaker 2: couple episodes they had a brother who then went upstairs
Speaker 2: with his basketball and you never saw him again. That
Speaker 2: was Chucky Cunningham.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 2: Ron Howard was Richie cunning and so Potzy was his
Speaker 2: best friend. Potzy and Ralph Mouth for his two best friends.
Speaker 2: And then there was obviously there was Fonzie. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So this is the equivalent to Sean walking in to
Speaker 3: a different show, to a different show.
Speaker 1: Right, Corey says, wait a minute, you're and the man
Speaker 1: cuts him off. No, it's Anson Williams. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I was Anson Williams, not who you think I was.
Speaker 1: Let's just drop it all right, Wait what Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a little he wanted just about him. I think it's
Speaker 1: actually a copyright issue because we I feel like we're
Speaker 1: not allowed to use their character names.
Speaker 2: Because well, he says later cool it on the AZZI Pay.
Speaker 1: Right, he says cool it on the Otzi Pay And
Speaker 1: they call him mister B instead of mister C from
Speaker 1: Happy Days.
Speaker 2: Cause he's Tom Bosley. They're playing themselves, right, They're playing themselves.
Speaker 1: So I didn't know if this was like an inside
Speaker 1: joke that Anson Williams didn't like to be recognized and
Speaker 1: called Pozzi.
Speaker 3: Or if it was a copyright I'm going like these
Speaker 3: people are I mean just like are they going to sing?
Speaker 3: Are these the monkeys? Are they? What is happening?
Speaker 1: But like these jokes, do you think think the general
Speaker 1: population watching this as they call him in prison the
Speaker 1: gen pop? Do you think the gen pop is getting
Speaker 1: these references like, oh, that's because Anson Williams doesn't want
Speaker 1: to there was at.
Speaker 3: The end of the Monkeys episode showed up. It was
Speaker 3: like a manager for a different band in a fictional right.
Speaker 2: That was that was for the Partridge Family.
Speaker 1: Partridge Family.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he was an actor who played a manager,
Speaker 3: or he wasn't actual manager for the part.
Speaker 1: He was an actor who played the manager, but he
Speaker 1: was the manager here his.
Speaker 3: Reference this is so there's so many rider I'm so
Speaker 3: miserable all week, just sitting there going like, I guess
Speaker 3: I like my hair. At least I look hot.
Speaker 2: Got that in another alternate world it would have been
Speaker 2: t L would have been d T F.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. I'm surprised that wasn't a thing.
Speaker 2: It might have been, we just didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they saw they saw it before, so anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was a little confused about whether it was a
Speaker 1: copyright thing or whether it was an inside joke about
Speaker 1: him not wanting to be recognized. I wasn't really sure
Speaker 1: this part the scene was a little confusing for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too, just a little bit. Girl.
Speaker 1: Corey's dad tells Anson just calm down, young fella and
Speaker 1: have a nice brownie. Tom Boss asks Cory, what's the.
Speaker 2: Matter with you?
Speaker 3: I was like, what is this reference? A happy Well?
Speaker 1: I think it There was that general idea of in
Speaker 1: the fifties, moms had freshly made cookies, and you know,
Speaker 1: there were always freshly baked goods when you came home
Speaker 1: from school. So I think, even like on a very
Speaker 1: surface level, it was just that, like you would come
Speaker 1: home and there'd be the smell of brownies in the
Speaker 1: kitchen because your mom had baked those.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 1: So cool. So spare you look like you lost something?
Speaker 1: And Corey admits I have my entire life. Morgan announces
Speaker 1: I can cheer you up and shows everyone her hula hooping.
Speaker 1: Anson tells Corey, you know, when I was down in
Speaker 1: the dumps, my parents used to say, just watch time.
Speaker 2: My favorite Lindy.
Speaker 3: I that was my favorite part of the scene is
Speaker 3: Lindsay hooping because I was like, oh Linda, Lindsay duaye
Speaker 3: knew how to the loop, and that's that's hard to
Speaker 3: do people, right.
Speaker 1: So then he Anson says, come to think of it,
Speaker 1: I didn't have any parents, not even a house. I
Speaker 1: hung out at other people's houses. Not bad really, That's
Speaker 1: a big meta Happy Days joke and also very similar
Speaker 1: to Sean's life. Sean, doesn't you know we have seen
Speaker 1: his trailer park but the yeah, okay. Morgan then shows
Speaker 1: her dad the local paper there's something you've got to see.
Speaker 1: It's a picture of Corey with the headline curly headed
Speaker 1: spy on the lamb. Corey assures them it's not true.
Speaker 1: The dad says, of course it's not. Then he walks
Speaker 1: over to the phone and with the worst phone.
Speaker 3: Acting doesn't.
Speaker 1: He just picks it up and he says, FBI please
Speaker 1: jer Hoover Tager. Yes, I'm here with Anson Williams and
Speaker 1: our Russian spy x nay on the ASI pay playing
Speaker 1: once again to this legal constraint or this joke that
Speaker 1: he doesn't like to be called potzy. I don't know, Jo,
Speaker 1: I think you need to joke.
Speaker 3: I know kig Latin was very big in the fifties.
Speaker 3: We have to ask Kendall about this.
Speaker 1: So Morgan points to Cory, you're going to jail spy,
Speaker 1: and who's the boss calms her down by saying, now, now, Morgan,
Speaker 1: he may be a Russian spy, but until they come
Speaker 1: and haul him off, he's still our guest. He liked,
Speaker 1: who's the Boss? And now in the only set left
Speaker 1: for this acid trip case jail jail.
Speaker 2: Apparently, Cory is.
Speaker 1: Locked up and clanking a mug against cell bars, saying
Speaker 1: he's innocent. Then a cop appears to tell Corey he's
Speaker 1: got visitors who claim to be your folks, and Amy
Speaker 1: and Allen w yeah.
Speaker 2: By this point, by the way, the mushrooms have fully
Speaker 2: kicked it. Oh yeah, just so you know, fullyied in.
Speaker 2: And Betsy tells this story all the time. Loved, loved
Speaker 2: doing this episode.
Speaker 3: She is phenomenal various episodes of this one. And then
Speaker 3: when she was Rosie the Riveter.
Speaker 1: R Yeah, she's They're very stuffy, very Mayberry esque, saying
Speaker 1: hi to Corey. Corey is relieved, Mom, dad, please tell
Speaker 1: them you know me. Amy smiles, Well, of course we do,
Speaker 1: don't we Alan, Alan responds, I think we'd know our
Speaker 1: own son. Corey tells the cop. You see, finally I
Speaker 1: got to tell you this nightmare was getting way out
Speaker 1: of hand. The cop walks away, and Amy comes up
Speaker 1: real close to Corey, asking through the bars in a
Speaker 1: Russian accent, do you have the pippers?
Speaker 3: Now? Don't you think you'd speak Russian? If you speak Russian,
Speaker 3: you just drop your American accent.
Speaker 2: That you can do. You can.
Speaker 3: On everything. This is that's where asking logic about language
Speaker 3: you you're so pretentious spoken Russian, slipping to a Russian
Speaker 3: accent the English.
Speaker 1: Oh you walk it speak okay, so Corey questions papers.
Speaker 1: Alan goes on, also in an accent, but.
Speaker 3: Not as good.
Speaker 1: For the American space program, and Corey asks, why are
Speaker 1: you guys talking like Boris and Natasha? And Amy says, good,
Speaker 1: he knows our secret code names. She reaches into her
Speaker 1: purse and grabs a muffin for Corey. He thanks her.
Speaker 1: He's sure it contains a secret transmitter and during the
Speaker 1: night they'll contact him and break him out. Amy clarifies, no,
Speaker 1: the muffin is to eat. You are two thin. You
Speaker 1: need to be strong for when they savagely torture you.
Speaker 1: And Alan, as.
Speaker 3: Waiting for brownies to pay off muffins, write something.
Speaker 2: Mom's make good, fifty good.
Speaker 1: That's what they do, Alan adds, and if they don't,
Speaker 1: our people will. Uh yeah, this was Betsy's accent is impeccable,
Speaker 1: and she yeah, Rusty needed Rusty could could use another take.
Speaker 1: And this is coming from someone who drops her accent
Speaker 1: halfway through the show, and he picks it up only
Speaker 1: whenever she wants, so love it. And then a siren
Speaker 1: goes off, and the cop yells, oh no, it's the
Speaker 1: big one. They all run into the cell, shouting duck
Speaker 1: and cover, allowing Corey to sneak out.
Speaker 3: Just as TL and Shawnzi arrive. They set off the alarm.
Speaker 1: Shawnzi says, let's get off this rock, and Corey asks
Speaker 1: what about the FBI? They'll recognize me. And then Tapanga
Speaker 1: reveals a mascot chicken head and she places it on Corey,
Speaker 1: telling him not in this clever chicken disguise, they.
Speaker 3: Won't And again, you're betraying our country for oh yeah,
Speaker 3: new kid.
Speaker 2: All right too, I have a story about friendship and
Speaker 2: wanting to get laid in the fifties, apparently to Panga.
Speaker 1: I mean honestly, when the chickenhead came out, I cackled.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, great, I love it. I love
Speaker 1: that there's a chicken head and you're gonna just tell
Speaker 1: him to put it on.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So then we're in Shonzie's apartment. They all run inside,
Speaker 1: Corey still in a chicken mask and clucking. Shawnzi says,
Speaker 1: Corey'll be safe in his makeout pad. It's been abandoned
Speaker 1: for years. It's Turner's apartment, but there's no sign of
Speaker 1: Turner or his stuff. T All questions what kind of
Speaker 1: a girl would come to make out here? Shaunzy presses
Speaker 1: a button and the lights go on. Music starts from
Speaker 1: a jukebox, and a couch is revealed, and so is
Speaker 1: a cheerleader.
Speaker 3: She just hangs out here waiting for Shawn's under a blanket. Yes,
Speaker 3: is she kept prisoner? Well, she keeps anytime.
Speaker 1: He sits on the couch with his captive teenager and
Speaker 1: I mean make out partner, Ti l asks Cory, so,
Speaker 1: how did you get into the spy racket? And Corey says,
Speaker 1: I'm not a Russian spy. Okay, my name is Corey Matthews.
Speaker 1: I'm from the future, and I can prove it. My
Speaker 1: mom sews my name into my underwear. Topanga takes a
Speaker 1: look and reads Eric Matthews. Coryanga doesn't just.
Speaker 2: Take a look to Panga says, I'll look at that.
Speaker 3: I'll look at it.
Speaker 2: You're right, like she's instantly trying to get in this guy.
Speaker 3: Trying to get into the pants.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Eric Matthews. Corey says, this day just keeps
Speaker 1: getting worse and worse. Tal says, look whoever you are,
Speaker 1: wherever you're from, it doesn't really matter. What matters is
Speaker 1: that you're here. She leans in and she kisses him
Speaker 1: a big kiss, and he asks what was that for.
Speaker 1: She says, I like going to the zoo and looking
Speaker 1: at the drafts, and sometimes at night when my friends
Speaker 1: are all on dates. But I'm not because I haven't
Speaker 1: found that right boy yet. I drown my sorrows in
Speaker 1: a bowl of Rocky Road ice cream. I have zero
Speaker 1: accent in this scene because.
Speaker 2: Now you're real. This is the sang That's what.
Speaker 1: It is, the real DTF one yes, and she asks
Speaker 1: him do me a favor, would you? Will you look
Speaker 1: at me that way I don't like, and he says
Speaker 1: I thought you said it scared you, and she smiles
Speaker 1: it does. Then she pulls them in for another passionate kiss.
Speaker 1: Phoene's voice then comes on the stereo and he announces
Speaker 1: the manhunt for teenage fugitive Brad Pitzer continues, the coastguards
Speaker 1: on alert. Corey tells them, I don't understand it. Here
Speaker 1: where I'm from, we're not so worried about bombs and
Speaker 1: satellites and Russian spies. There are problems, sure, but mostly
Speaker 1: people get along the police. Spotlights start flashing outside, and
Speaker 1: Corey tells them, Now all I want to do is
Speaker 1: go back. Isn't there some way out of here here?
Speaker 1: Shawnsie looks at t L wise Man. She agrees, wise Man.
Speaker 2: This is where the story really, this is where it kicks.
Speaker 3: This is when everything starts to make sense.
Speaker 1: Everything makes sense here, showy jelous.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's really yes, Yes, let's bring it. Lett's bring
Speaker 3: it full circle.
Speaker 1: So back at Slims. The trio run in and Shawnzi
Speaker 1: points Corey in the direction of the wise Man. Mister
Speaker 1: Williams is there, dressed in a beret, dark sunglasses, and
Speaker 1: he has bongos.
Speaker 3: Now is he supposed to be blind?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I don't think so, because Alex went on to play.
Speaker 3: But I don't think he is. For a moment, I
Speaker 3: thought maybe this was like a precursor to that where
Speaker 3: he was doing this because he's gone.
Speaker 1: I think he's just hep Yeah, he's just just a
Speaker 1: cool guy and he's a revolutionary era poet, so I
Speaker 1: think he's just doing that kind of stuff. Cory asks,
Speaker 1: excuse me, mister Wiseman. William says, I'm playing a song man.
Speaker 1: And he bangs on the bongos twice, then announces all right,
Speaker 1: now I'm finished. The crowd snaps for him, and Corey asks,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're the wise Man, and he says, no,
Speaker 1: I am clearly the Hepcat, which is a fun little reference.
Speaker 1: He continues that there is the wise Man, and then
Speaker 1: Pat Maurita turns around. He is the wise Man, channeling
Speaker 1: his karate kid roll of mister Miagi. Shawnzi explains, you,
Speaker 1: mister wise Man, our friend here is in a lot
Speaker 1: of trouble and we figured you're the only one. But
Speaker 1: then he cuts Shawnsy off to say a wise man
Speaker 1: sees a young boy in trouble and now he wants
Speaker 1: to go back.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 1: The young boy's name Matthews. Corey is amazed. Cory says,
Speaker 1: the last thing I remember I was plugging in the
Speaker 1: microwave and I must have gotten a shock or something.
Speaker 1: Wise Man interrupt him and says best way out is
Speaker 1: the way you came in t L and Shawnsy ask, huh,
Speaker 1: and this is where I'm breaking. I'm like hiding behind
Speaker 1: Rider's shoulder. Saw that then I'd try to hide my mouth.
Speaker 2: You're DTL, You're down to laugh.
Speaker 1: Down to laugh right now, Yeah, gir.
Speaker 2: GTL.
Speaker 1: Wise Man continues, get another microwave oven and give yourself
Speaker 1: another shock. He then takes his wise Man outfit off
Speaker 1: to reveal a cooking uniform, now referencing his Happy Day's role,
Speaker 1: and he tells Corey, listen, I ain't got time for
Speaker 1: all this. I got customers. Corey questions he works here,
Speaker 1: and the hepcat tells him wise Man got to make a.
Speaker 2: Living, did you writer? I know you're a big fan
Speaker 2: of Weezer. Don't you remember the Buddy Holly video?
Speaker 3: I remember hearing about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it takes place at the fifties diner with
Speaker 2: everybody from Happiness essentially, and it's Pat Marita.
Speaker 3: Who like leads them like Jones directed it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good video, great video.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Corey asks himself another shock. Why didn't I think
Speaker 1: of that? Wise Man interjects, you did? This is your fantasy.
Speaker 1: See it's a fantasy, fever dream. We get The answer.
Speaker 2: Makes sense, all makes sense if you follow it through.
Speaker 1: Shawn Zi tells Corey, I know you got to go back,
Speaker 1: but uh, I sure hate to lose a friend like you,
Speaker 1: and Corey tells him you won't I mean, I think
