This is a headgum podcast. Hello and welcome to another edition of Melro 210, a we hate movies quarantine side show where we ask you to remain indoors, but put on your son. screen because we're having a little bit of fun today as much as we can considering literally everything. But first I want to introduce some good dudes from different neighborhoods, my good friend Eric Siska. I'm a dude. Chris Gavin. And Andrew Juppin. Yo. Quick question. Now do we qualify as part of Aaron Spelling's dudes? Can we be in the dude spin-off show? Not in my current shape, man. I got to figure that out.

Yeah, I got to get to fucking Rhonda's aerobics class here with Jane. Yeah, dude. We're the dude's writer room. I like how Jane is like, Ronda, I've gained the grain from being pregnant. I need to get rid of this grain. We should say we were talking about Melrose Place. We were talking about Polluted Affairs, Episode 12, Season 1 of Melrose Place here. And now there's some interesting stuff going on here in the credits.

I don't know if you guys are paying attention. Oh, absolutely. I was not paying attention. Amy Locaine is out of the credits, but it seems as if, but no, but she's in the next episode. So they're like, I don't know if this was just on a DVD thing where they took her out or whatever, but she's definitely out of the credit. It was a phased firing. Hey, y'all, I can't, I'd notice that I wasn't A in this episode and B. I'm out of the credits.

Like, I just imagine her going to the sound studio. Like, anybody home? Hey, thought we're going to film some place today, y'all. Y'all, why am I now cast as a female chef that is in one scene? I'm supposed to be Sandy. No, no, no, you're Georgia now. Yeah, I heard there was a table read supposed to be today, but then someone said that I need to get lost.

What does that mean, y'all? Where is Sandy getting lost this week? I wonder. Is that my inspiration? Am I lost as a character? No, we want you to fucking leave, please. It's a long walk off up here. Is that an episode title?

Because that's what the letter ended with, y'all. Ooh, I hope Sandy isn't trying to commit suicide, y'all. I just got a letter from Aaron's spelling and it just says, get fucked. What does that mean? Oh, oh, oh, did you hear the series finale is a fuck off and die? I will say, no, but she is in the next episode And that's her final episode I think she's like actually written off the show

But for whatever reason She's just not in this episode Which does happen on TV shows But it is weird that she's out of the fucking credits And she's replaced by like Billy reading a book Yeah, I don't know I don't know if it's like

It must have just been a thing They filmed them out of order or something Possible. Yeah, that's also totally possible Because it's just it's odd that You know, for all of these episodes so far it's been a thing where like even if the character doesn't have something to do, if you were an

opening credit person, you got something. See Matt in this entire series. Exactly. Like so it's odd that she's just like physically not there, which least we believe it was flipped out of order. The funny thing that was that the end credits, the end credits to this show are weird because it's kind of

just more like weird LA footage. But there's a shot of her it's a weird thing where like she's at a like makeup table and it's in like a completely dark like like it almost looks like a black box theater and she's just there like you see her like from behind there's there's that and then at the end credits there's a lot of night exercising ronda is doing a yoga routine for like a second and then you also see jake in his chair just pumping one barbell nice dude that's how he gets psyched up

for the kill they added billy reading a book i did not even notice this yeah it's like i I can read everybody. Hey, I can read. My dad got me the necronomicon. Where's yours? It's a first edition, Bill. There is, so yeah, this whole episode is A-Story, Allison. I mean, really, it's mostly, it's,

A-story is Allison and this burgeoning relationship with this gentleman named Keith. B-story is Billy's credit woes. And a C-minded story. is Jane trying to lose some baby weight and still kind of dealing with her miscarriage. So we'll just go through the whole goddamn thing

right not, huh? So we start on, is it, do we start with, yeah, it's Billy and Jake and Michael hanging out watching the baseball game? Well, so this is weird though, dude. This is another instance where we have a totally off-brand

cold open here. Because the first thing, while the credits are still technically going, is Allison is at this photo shoot with her boss and it's like for some like you know exercise clothing or something like that and they're at the photo shoot

and the boss like deems Allison fit to have some new responsibilities and she's like oh cool let's get back to work and then it just goes back into the opening credits and you see the sign for like you know the Melan Roses storefront

just more shit from L.A. Yeah this would usually be the credits would usually be over other scenes like they just make a second credit for some reason. And I think this is last second we got to delete this Sandy storyline or something. I got to bias like a couple seconds. I don't know what it is

but it's so weird but then right after that. Oh hey, Allison got me a modeling contract. Wait, that scene got deleted? Oh no. Yes. Hi, I'm the director of the episode. I can explain this to you. We had a scene getting rid of Sandy very easily. She walked it to she got into her car and

it exploded. And we thought that would be the end of old Sandy. But then, you know, the studio said we have to do a whole episode where she doesn't escape Jake's clutches he finally gets her I would love that

and now she's like Oh my God y'all The Riverboat Strangler finally got me I thought we were friends But he happened to be the Riverboat Strangler I always wanted a really good role In a nice plot

I didn't think it would be a grave plot Oh nice Yeah I took the scenic route on that one So yeah So yeah but that is true Allison, her boss, it's just like, hey, you know, instead of the old boys network, we're going to use the old girl in this network, you know, I see something in you. I don't know what it is, but I see something in you.

I'm going to give you some more responsibility, so you're not stuck behind that reception desk wherever. We do cut to Billy and Jake just watching baseball, drinking some beers, and Michael shows up to do the same. And Billy just kind of lets everyone know that he's trying to get a, I'm sorry, he gets mail that he has been rejected from. another credit card that he's been applying for. Right. It doesn't understand why he keeps getting rejected for every credit card. It's almost as if this is something he should have dealt with in high school or college

or whatever. I do fucking love dude. Right when they cut to Jake's apartment here, it's just Billy that's sitting in the living room watching the game and like Jake has some it's the father fucking oldest baseball jokes in the world of like, geez, that's great, right

Billy? I love baseball because I can leave the room for 15 minutes and I come back at the same shit's happening. Ha, ha, ha, sports ball. It's great. In that shot, though, Billy, the thing I'm trying to get to is, it looks like, whatever chair Jake has, I straight up thought Billy was sitting in a wheelchair. Okay. And I was like, what happened to Billy from last week? Well, that's what his mother used to be in the wheelchair. He just keeps it around the apartment.

Oh, fuck. It's like the changeling. You just an old haunted wheelchair around. Well, yes, Billy, my boy, I can give you the loan, but I will require your needs. writing is so good someone read his column and was so obsessed with him and then hunted him down and broke his legs oh please don't do this to me number one fan Cassie base

no oh you dirty bird and he's just like I can't wait to get a credit card I want to buy a comic book bumacob oh oh like he's just he is like they're like oh but you know you gotta pay that back

It's like, oh, I know you've never got to pay that back. What are you talking about? It's like, it's a yo-yo I bought off eBay. Hey, hey, hey. I'm just messing with you. No, I know. How much you should get at that yo-yo, Steve? I am using it quite a bit.

Are you terrible at it? I'm okay. I'm just okay. Yeah. I've never been able to yo-yo. I can do it. I can't do many tricks, but it's a nice relaxing zen activity when you're just kind of hanging around. I better see some walk in the dog by the end of this question.

quarantine, dude. Or I'm calling foul and that was a waste of eBay bucks. It's always a waste of eBay bucks. I will say though because this does get into like a bunch of credit stuff and blah blah, blah, student loans. What is the dumbest thing you used on a

credit card in your foolish days? Oh, I Because I've got mine. Oh, you have a specific one? Well, I would say one of the things that got me into trouble early on was I used to, when we would have parties at Or like, you know, when we got to the point on campus, when we were living in our apartments and throwing these lavish parties, I'd be the dude who'd be like, oh, yeah, fucking six cases of beer. No, like real big beer distributor cases of beer. Yeah, put that on my credit card.

Like that kind of shit. Like, entertaining when I had no business doing that. Yeah, I think it was mostly alcohol for me or DVD. Oh, but on up, but down, but down, but down, definitely. It's definitely DVDs. When I first got a DVD play, I bought like everything. I spent so much goddamn money just fucking buying every DVD of a movies. I just liked. Yeah. Oh, totally.

And good, good thing you'll never have to buy them again because 480P will never get better. It's the, yeah, you know it's the best way it's ever going to look, it's ever going to sound. For me, I bought a set of Ultimate X-Men hardcover comic books

that cost me up around $300. That was so monstrously stupid. Oh, yeah. I think I kind of remember borrowing those from you. Yeah, they were good-looking books, man. They were pretty cool. Where are they stored in your house now, Steve? Oh, I got rid of them, actually.

Oh, that's good. Yep, that's the move. There had to be a purge at some point. Anyways, so that's, we cut to Allison and Jane. They're just out on the streets having a good time. Allison's really excited about this new work opportunity. They're about to go for a celebratory drink. and then they're approached by

or they just run across this guy who's just got like a bunch of pamphlets at a table and he's like, hey, you're looking for a date Saturday night? And they're like, wait, excuse me? I didn't see the pamphlets at first and I thought he was like can I do your picture lady? Kevin, I thought it was a fucking caricaturist too.

I absolutely did. I thought it was a male sex worker that's like, no, no, no, I sit, we sit down. Yeah, the ladies can walk up and down the strip. I'm going to sit here. I got my whole office right here on the strip. let's go under the under the curtain we'll get a sword out

I'm a fancy jiggleau I have a table on the sunset trip I think the weird the weird thing here though is I mean those people bless them they can go out

and get signatures and everything like that I feel like the unwritten rule of signature gathering though is like I don't know man once the sun's down can this just wait until tomorrow

you know what I mean like I'm out with friends right now I might be intoxicated. Like, ask me for my signature in the morning. And he's just like, oh, who wants a date on Saturday night? And she's like, oh, you know, and she's instantly flummoxed and enamored with him. It turns out he is a oceanographer of some kind, an environmentalist oceanographer. And he's giving a speech on Saturday night.

And, like, he's like, bring your friend. It's kind of funny because he's like, you should come and bring a friend. He's kind of looking at Jane. And I'm like, I'm wondering if he's like really hitting on Jane, but it's like, oh, I guess Allison will do kind of a thing. I think there's something to that dude because the end of the conversation is he's like,

all right, so bye, Allison. Bye, friend. Yes, totally. And I was like, I know which one you really want Keith. You're just like, you know, whatever way the fucking crooked crumbles for old Keith, whatever. He's like a less,

and Allison's like, he is so fucking hot. And it's like, he's kind of a less attractive mat. You know what I mean? He is a less attractive mat. Matt. He looks like, he looks like if you made a human version, like a real-life version of, what is the name of the, the, like, daredevil character on the Simpsons?

Oh, oh, yes, I can't remember it. Lance Murdoch. Yes. It kind of looks like Lance Murdoch, honestly. If Lance Murdoch was based on a real person. I got a real splice, uh, Routy Roddy Piper and Ed Bagley Jr. Yes. Okay.

Oh, okay. I could see that. This is actor William R. Morris. He's a TV actor. Nothing really to say there in terms of his career. Other than, you know, we have not seen the last of Keith.

Oh, yes. This is a long, apparently he's in Mystic Pizza. That's something. Never saw that movie. I saw it once. I don't remember it.

I also, never saw it. I ate pizza and Mystic Connecticut once and it wasn't good. People will tell you that Connecticut pizza is amazing. I've never had it. I just feel like the New Haven style or whatever. Yeah. There is good pizza out here.

It's just, but not Mystic Pizza. I've had Mystic Pizza as well. It's all, it's terrible. It's just like a super thick piece of shit. It's like, okay. Thank you. Yes, I wanted a loaf of bread for dinner. Thank you.

That's what they've referred to me as in high school. A super thick piece of shit. Loaf of bread that fell in Marinera by mistake. It's pizza. Eat it. Super thick piece of shit. Cross the stage to get. your high school diploma.

I'm sorry, that was thick with two Cs. Oh. So that's kind of her thing. She does wind up it's amazing she goes back and Billy's like, oh man, Allison, I just, I cannot get a credit card for nothing. I really got these comic books I want to buy. That's what the Silver

Surfers came from, by the way. Absolutely yes, Silver Surfer number one. That's on fucking Malachi Thrones credit card. It's like the student loan debt is part of his issue. So, And he eventually says that he just wasted it all and, like, blew it on some dates and stuff. And I'm thinking that's also the Silver Surfer Collection. Yes, for sure.

Oh, sure. Yeah, that could be roped into that. Absolutely. Oh, God damn it. Oh, yes. Okay. Black candles. Yes, I needed those.

Okay, that makes sense. Pigsblood by the bucket. Yes, that's going. Okay. Billy Silver Surfer. Mary. Married. Married.

What is Billy fine? Ex-Men. Silver server that better be a spellbook young man That better be a spell book Child Catapids yes that's me of course New pentagram of course yes The new pentagrams are out I do love

Because yeah Billy is just like His whole thing is he's like We can go through Billy's whole stupid thing right now And then we'll go back to Allison Because it's pretty much They are pretty divergent Billy is getting all these messages from some lady and he's like oh you're excited about your romantic entanglements

someone wants to fuck my dick Dude it's insane she's like Because he says something about like oh I got him Because his whole thing at the start of this episode We don't need to dwell on it But he's trying to fix their answering machine And when he finally does Which by the way it's like fucking Homer Simpson

Taking the Hammer to the Toaster When he finally fixes it There's all these messages from a Mary so-and-so, like, call me back at this number. And Allison's like, oh, who is that? And he's like, yeah, see, I'm not, you're not the only one who is eligible around here. There's Mary. Mmm, yeah, Mary Allison. That must be that hot lady I met at Shooters the other night.

She's tracked me down. How would she track you down? How would she track you down? And I'm, come on, dude, you did not get this girl's name. Also, why is it she saying where she works? Oh, that's a credit. That's a creditor thing. It's just like, hey, this is Peter Johnson. Call me back. You know, like. I mean, I've had bill collectors, and they usually say I'm from fucking this, this collection agency. If you, if you pick up, I think is the move. I've got messages like that. I just, I've never heard of this being like, yeah, just coming back at this number.

Well, maybe you're not in as much scuzzy credit trouble as William Campbell here. Or is David Sadeg. Yeah, exactly. When they got to bring out the real guns, we got we reached level Sadex. What kills me about this plot is the level of debt is not even that bad. It's $2,000. His student loan from all of his years at college was $2,000 and he keeps bitching and moaning

about it. It's even worse though, dude. That's only like the loan that he took out. His parents paid for his whole thing. That's what drives me fucking nuts about the whole thing. He took out a loan just to throw money around in college and look like a little rich boy. By the way, just it

for inflation in 2020. That's three thousand six hundred and fifty four dollars which sure is a lot if you don't have any but in the grand scheme of things that's not an insurmountable amount of debt that they're making it out to be not at all no for Billy fucking Campbell no also

especially because news flash ladies and gentlemen look at what fucking college costs you now this is a nothing loan but I think that that's kind of the weird part of this episode which kind of to be as unresolved is what they're trying to say about student loan debt like is it because later on Michael

reams him out because Billy's like, oh man, these creditors are after my ass. I'm not going to pay it. Everyone's like, Billy, that's not a solution, yada, yada, yada. And then Michael is just like, hey, man, because it twirps like you, I couldn't get a loan in college.

And now the economy's in the toilet because everyone's full closing on their loans. What the fuck is he is he listening to Rush Limbaugh, isn't he? I think so. Yeah, it's a weird reaction for this character to have. Welcome back Tucker Carlson Live.

We have Mike Mancini here to talk about the loan swamp. Am I right, Mike? It's weird because I don't know if that's the episode trying to say any any like shirking of student loan debt is irresponsible and therefore bad. You you lousy Gen Xers. But it's like it's also like hilarious to look at the scope of student loan debt in this time period versus what has crippled the nation where we are now. Well, that's like the whole thing is it's not.

I mean, I'm sure it was predatory back then, but like, predatory lending now is obviously, like, way out of control. And colleges are more expensive and all of that shit figures into this. And I think, like, what Michael is at least trying to say in that moment is like, hey, man, I couldn't fucking get a loan for med school. But here, you got this fucking jerk off loan. You know, you didn't even bother to fucking repay. You know, he is getting a little Tucker Carlson about the whole thing. but it's just it's a different to say that now is way

different to say that in 1992 you know what I mean well because he doesn't know that it's a jerk off loan yet yes he's not aware of that logic here is like oh well you need to pay that back to the bank so they have money to then lend out to people but that's not actually how money works

at least anymore no definitely not you know it's because it's not a one to your money's not a friend's oh it's a billy's house oh what the fuck your money do in here? Well, I guess I'll spend it while I got it.

Because, like, yeah, that's the whole thing. He winds up going to the... I mean, look, his storyline is useless. He winds up going to the credit union or the student loan place. There's, like, some attractive lady there who's like, well, maybe I can charm my way out of this. He's like, absolutely not.

It's the, it's the cult. He goes right to the collection agency. Like, he goes to the fucking belly of the beast. Dude, I would never go to a collection agency. I wouldn't have been left. I wouldn't have been able to leave. That's right. I'd be worried. You know, you're not going to be able to walk out the door again.

You wake up in a bathtub missing your kidneys. It's just like, well, now you can't leave. Well, yes, ladies here at Vance Packers Collection Agency. You all have to dress like the fly girls. Yeah, I don't know. Well, I think like this, I think the loan manager here, the debt collector, rather, is the most logical character in the episode because he's fucking pitching his fit and trying to sell her on all of this about like, oh, I was going to be a writer.

and, you know, rent and fucking groceries are so expensive and blah, blah, blah. And she's like, hey, do you think I fucking went to school to work at a debt collector's office? And she's like mentions whatever degree she has. She's like, I work this shitty job so I can pay that shit down. And again, it's explaining to this numb skull that, hey, man, you need the cab driver job. You obviously need something else because that income's not enough. And, you know, then your writing has to come third. to you figuring all that other shit out first.

Just work at the fucking furniture store. Yeah. Yep. You're, that's the thing is, he's a rich kid that is pretending to not be a rich kid, and it drives me fucking crazy. Exactly. You know that Malachi Throne is going to pay his son well over the fucking federal minimum. I agree.

Not so much to the other employees. I agree completely that Barry is, like, the loan officer here, is the best character. Second for me is Lucy, Allison's boss Oh yeah She seems like the real anchor here to like Try and be like look

When this all goes blowing up It's a problem Exactly So Billy winds up going to his mother And he's like listen I actually Hey and unfortunately Malachi Thorne is not there Which is a bummer

No And she's just like hey I'm at the furniture store Because Malcathorne has been a trap between Hades and Beelzebub's fucking Third Realm there. Your father couldn't find the coin to pay the boat man to cross the river sticks. He's going to be, he's just going to be

down there for a little bit. Your father's stuck traveling on another paranormal business trip. Oh, you know him. He's on the phone with B. Elsebaugh again. He went down to Nalans to find the soul of a virgin. He'll be back someday.

Hopefully they don't bind him there. But no, she's just like, yeah. And he's like, Oh, man, I got these through the law. She's like, what the fuck are you talking about? We paid for your college, and it was expensive. And he's like, yeah, but I got to, I, I, I, I, I borrowed $2,000 to get skis, some dates. The idea that this asshole spent money on fucking skis.

I am sorry. Skis are the first thing he says, which is hilarious. It's like, that was his dumb, like, that was, he was me at the fucking beer distributor. Yes, exactly. like that that was his X-Men you know hardbound comics I think this is actually the episode that most like touches on super

90s stuff more than any of the other ones the skis a like skis being a huge fad like that and the condom thing that we're going to get to in a second and the the fucking whole scene where they're just talking about when Harry met Sally when Harry met Sally and then also there is some choice

late 80s early 90s environmentalism is a fucking joke thing from Billy at one point also. So whatever he winds up realizing that he needs to get a second job to pay it off and blah blah. His mother is like, hey, we'll give you a loan.

And then I guess he decides not to do that because he wants to be more responsible. Well, because no, no, because the whole fucking thing there is he's going in for a handout like, all right, I'm just going to flip in, ask my folks for some money and fucking scudaddle. And the mom, you don't see the scene, but the mom is clearly

like, sure, we will loan you the money and he's like oh the dreaded L word no I'll do it myself and then he even goes so far as at one point to be like well you know Allison I think I should just move home but just save some money a great idea Billy

you clearly cannot keep your head above water and like later on even with the whole answering machine thing when he's fixing it Allison's like oh I'll just get another one tomorrow like no Billy you guys have to split that that's how that works he says a dude there is some disingenuous fucking billy lines in this episode obviously but like he has someone he's like oh you know what alathan if i had a credit card i'd go out and buy a new anthraic machine right now

first of all no you fucking would not no and then there's another line where he's asking the mom for money or whatever uh he has some line about like i oh because it's something about like oh the creditors are after me now and she's like oh billy and he says uh i don't want to be a deadbeat i'm like dude you were introduced to this series as being a fucking dead meat. Come on with that now. I mean, I'll tell you why he didn't take that load. It's not for the reason he gives. It's because he doesn't want the collection calls that come from Malachi

throne. Those ones will haunt you nights. William, hi, it's your father. I see that I only have $200 from you this month. Oh, William, the chicken has come home to roost? Has it not, boy?

Has it not? We, you know, we haven't been able to find a sacrifice for this month. You might just have to do. You know, Billy, I'm just going to put it to you this way at one point, son. You had two sisters. Call me back. Yes. Still on the answering machine.

Whatever. So that's kind of his thing. He decides to get another job, but you don't see. And, like, he's learned a valuable lesson about living in fucking H.W. Bush's economy. Yep. So Allison winds up. She's trying to get Billy to go to this, to this.

speech that Keith is giving. He won't do it. She asks Jane. Jane can't do it. Who does do it? It's fucking Matt. Wow, what a shock. Dude, we have seen Matt get dragged to a fucking modern dance studio, a fucking stand-up

comedy set, and now an environmental speech. This is almost his only character trait. Besides being gay and caring for the teens at the halfway house, it's being available. That's it. Zero social life. It's like, and I guarantee you she asked everyone, she has Jake, she wound up going, she asked Sandy who may or may not still be alive. Rhonda said no.

And then I was like, oh, I guess, well, Matt's definitely, Matt's a yes. That's the thing is Matt's a yes for sure. No, well, won't go with me. Yeah, it's like, all right. So, Matt, like, they should start having scenes where Matt opens the door and he's like, you literally asked everyone else. What took you so long? Let's go to whatever this fucking benefit is or whatever. What is it, a box social, a fucking improv comedy team? What are we watching tonight? Oh, my God. Yeah, Allison.

Allison wants him to come to a fucking improv show. Well, speaking of fucking 90 sports trends, what he wants, what, what, what Keith wants to do with her is scuba dive. Well, that's, that's, that's, that's just so he, that after the thing, Matt's like, oh, wow, he's cute. Remember, I'm gay everybody. It's my only line in the, in the show. Well, there is a real, uh, they're there trying to bend over backwards. in that scene where she, because Matt is like, hey, you know, do you want to come out for drinks with us or whatever? And Keith thinks that they're together. And he's like, oh, no, I didn't want to

input. And they're like, oh, what, me? Oh, no, I wouldn't be with him. No. He's a little, you know, woo-woo. Like, it's like they're fucking doing everything, you know. And it's like, you don't even have to just say you're not together. Yes. But it says like, oh, no, he's a which they don't even like do that they just dance around it until we just cut away blissfully rather than acting in a lot of this courtney thornt smith is just giggly yep she's acting like she's on a fucking game show this entire episode she's trying to be oh my god i can't believe it's she's trying to be enamored come on down she's just try she's she's in love she's instantly love she sees this dude with

jeans and a tie on and it's all into it and like yeah so he gives a speech they like it they want to go out for a drink and they're talking about scuba diving and they're talking about the ocean in general is like well have you ever been

scuba diving and she's like well no that's that's unnatural which I found hilarious I don't know like it's like a fucking Amish person getting their picture Jake she mentioned being from Wisconsin so I guess it is if it's not if it's not cow tipping it's like a big bow what is this and uh they wind up and she had she goes scuba diving with him and just because like he's like oh i used to be a scoop

instructor so it's oh it's cool i have the equipment and blah blah blah i'm like no no no no this is like skydiving or anything else like you need to go to a facility that has a liability waiver i'm not just like taking keats old fucking air tank and just diving hoping it works out while you are correct if we just have we have to back up to another bad decision here because she shouldn't even fucking be in that position his whole thing is hey tomorrow morning you want to meet me at the reefs is all he says and i'm like dude don't follow a complete stranger to a reef that's not a good idea i don't care what time of day it is it is this is a very like 20 20 date line like half of them take place on boats and half of them involve scuba diving yep

Absolutely, dude. And it's the same shit, right? It's like, oh, yes, Allison thought she'd met the man of her dreams. Keith. Keith was just, you know, everything to make a perfect man. Great job. Hunky dude that looked like a sexy Ed Bagley Jr. had used scuba gear he offered to her for free. So, Allison, do you know what the bends are? The bends? I never mind. Yeah, exactly. Now, Allison, just remember when we're coming up from the bottom, it's really important. important that you swim as fast as you can to the surface. And hold your breath. Don't try to breathe for a long time. So, yeah, they go scuba diving and she comes out and she's like, wow, Keith, that was like an ocean wonderland. Dude, I think she does use

the word wonderland. She does indeed use the word ocean wonderland. Holy fuck. And then if there is anything that should make any fucking person go flaccid, is she goes, you know, Keith, when I was little. I used to fantasize about being a mermaid. I thought they were the most

beautiful creatures. And instead of him running away, he's like They are. And then they start making out? No way! Just like every white girl on the planet Right? I'm a mermaid. I wanted to be aerial.

Of course, that movie had come out what, like three years prior to this? Billy used a student loan debt to buy a ticket. Oh, finally. A big screen adaptation I could get behind. Oh, man, that was riveting. You know, hey, I took my whole freshman hall to see the little mermaid. It only cost $400.

That's definitely the thing, dude. He's fucking buying out movie theaters. Now, me and my friends can see the movie in private. All the other thing. All the thing. So, whatever, she goes back to work. She's all, like, she's totally loopy. like I get like she's a naive character who's like kind of a little bit love struck here by this dude

and she actually goes out she goes to work and her boss is like hey Allison um here's another big opportunity you could review advertising proofs with me uh tonight at my apartment just come and we'll eat Chinese food and go through everything it's kind of weird like she tells billy i think it's weird because i gave him my number both for home and work and he wouldn't even give me any of his numbers kind of strange oh man i fucking miss that line but i think it's in the conversation where he's like before you start your fucking mantra about keith keith keith listen to my answering machine problems but then also this is that scene is with like she's going to work after having like gushed about keith all morning

and he's like remembered her recycle yeah we get it environmentalism's fucking hilarious the other thing is that billy responds to what she says is like that sounds like a control freak something to that effect and I'm like I know what's happening here you're setting it up so Billy is going to be the one who knew all along when Keith turns out to be an asshole right and I'd be surprised

his name is even Keith where this ends so Keith shows up to her office and it's just like hey Allison I want to make you dinner tonight and instead of being like oh okay that's I I would love to how about tomorrow night or Saturday night

or any other night because I already have work plans that I can't break because I'm actually in the middle of, because I can keep two ideas in my fucking head. But no, she's like, oh, I'll just get out of it. And she goes to her boss and is like, I got it. I'm sick. Oh, she doesn't even do that. She's like, dude, she says it

to the fucking other assistant who's helping cover for her job as it is. And the woman is like, like, she says, Alison says something like, oh, just tell, you know, miss whatever, I'm not going to make it tonight. And the woman is like, seriously? Yes. You know, and it's, it's fucking

crazy because it's not like Keith was like, because there is some sort of hesitation, and I think he even has a line where it's like, oh hey, if tonight doesn't work we can figure something else. Yeah, I always says that. And she's like, no, no, no. I'm just going to lie to work on the verge of this, you know, me getting new responsibilities

added to my job. I'm just going to lie about this to hang out with this still virtual stranger who, yes, took me scuba diving and managed to not murder me, but come on. So, she does, she sneaks out of that. She does go to Keith's place. We just sort of see them like drinking wine on the beach oh i'm sorry before that she she's like getting ready for

the date and this is when she's at her most game show ask she's just like oh my god a date i can't believe it i can't believe i want a date she opens the door bob barker standing there you're ready would you like to date keith on the beach or in porto rico oh my god spend the wheel you do get a quick visual here of again their horrendous cat shower curtain yes yes I did notice that it is quite appalling

it's really bad dude and Billy is just like well where are you going Allison we were going to fuck I watch baseball together or something and she's like well I got a date I'm really excited I'm blowing off work for no reason and he's like oh wow what are you going to get later

what. She's like, well, I've never, I've only had sex with two people. It's like, yeah, that guy that fucked you in the back of that car. Ha! Oh, it's just so great. And she's just like, I really regret telling you that. But no, but she's like, oh, Billy, I should have never told you that. This confirms that her and Jake didn't fuck. I think it was just mouth stuff. They were both just mouth in each other. Got it. Yeah. That sounds right. Like some Hey J's or something, you know. Yeah. And I mean, Billy is seething because he thought for in, like, he had two weeks until they were going to go to pound down. Yes.

Like now he's like, oh, fuck, it throws off the whole schedule. All right, here, Alton, if you're going to go, be responsible and he gives her a condom. She's go, Billy, what is this? I thought it's my homemade condom, Alethon. I make them in the back. They're kind of just old balloons

that I find sitting around. When I'm barred, I pick them with pins. I got, I stole the design from a friend. So she does go on a date with Keith, and it's lovely and they're just kind of talking about their upbringings and all sorts

of bullshit yada yada yada they wind up on his couch well there is we cannot skip over this fucking sextacular dialogue dude please so what happened so Keith's house by the way he lives at 53 beach road word told

so he's got this like house literally on the beach or if you say that to a pizza guy is again bullshit hangs up exactly I live at can I get four pizzas to 53 beach road Yeah, I'm at 98 House Street And Keith's telling some story

Like they've wrapped up dinner And he's telling some story But the only time he froze Was like in his life Was he was swimming And there was like a great white Next time or something like that And then he's like

What's your most scared moment Allison just goes Now And then they just all start fucking Making out hard again And she's like You had this all plan Didn't you?

I didn't imagine it would work so well. Jesus Christ. I mean, the house is set up like a mousetrap version of getting ready to have sex. It's like oh yeah, now you just got to fall over this chair and you're going to be right into this beautifully made bed with candles lit everywhere.

It's like this dude knew what he's on the beach. We see the view of the beach. Like this Keith guy, he always has to be near the ocean. I don't know. There's like maybe a Troy McClure vibe going on. Oh, shit. It feels a very like the sleepist

in Seattle house. Yes. it's got like many tears but is like unassumingly small from the outside yeah it looks like a big old shack and then what is surprised we cut to a set and it's completely different

so they're fooling around in bed and like they're talking about like they're joking about clothes or something and she's like I'd like to see you in this and pulls out the condom and he's like why is there so many water and rocks in this packaging yeah the insane

how do you look in this and she pulls out the condom Well, she first asked him, like, you know, about a sexual history. And he's like, oh, and he's such a liar, too. He's like, well, I was tested. No, you weren't. And then he's like, oh, and I probably had sex with less people than you. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Yeah. He also clearly slips in a half-truth that he has just got out of a long-term relationship. That's always great. And then he, she, you know, so they fuck. And then the next morning, like, she's wearing a shirt. And, like, they're having this long, languid, like, you. you know, just talking about stuff, and she's got to get the fuck to work.

It's insane. And when you hear later from the boss that she is two hours late from work, like, I'm sorry, I don't care how life-altering that lay was. Like, you're on the precipice of changing the direction of your career entirely. It's what you've been working for.

Like, come on. You have to manage your sex addiction, a sex addiction around your job, you know, now that it's interfering with your day-to-day life, go to a meeting. it's just also not convincing because Allison just

I don't believe this that she just suddenly is like acting like this yeah it's really weird because like you know she went on the you know she's been on dates before right yeah

cuteer guys I'd say they're counting on us remembering how her character is so ill conceived and barely fleshed out that we'll just go with this and we won't we won't go that's the thing about the gilly stuff I'm like are they trying to like make her crazy

kind of like I don't understand this. And also like she, you know, she's a 1992 Courtney Thorne Smith. Like, she's had opportunities to go on dates before. Like, you know what I mean? Like, it's not, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, like, oh, this is a

character that's been so stuck on her career that everything else is, like, falling by the wayside. Now when, you know, the other part of that gets picked up, she's, like, losing sight of shit. But they, they, they set her up already to be, like, too smart of a character for that to happen. So, it's just kind of weird that.

it happens over this fucking marine biologists. The most important part of this whole thing, which is why Billy needs to get the fuck out of that apartment, is he wakes up, and Allison has spent the night of Keith's, and her bed is, you know, is still made. So he's like, oh, my God, she did it. And I think Michael shows up.

This is when they have the conversation about his student loans. But Michael shows up, he's like, oh, hey, hey, Billy, I got this ecologically friendly pool stuff that Allison wanted to see. Oh, she's like, no, she hasn't. She got fucked last night. Hey, Belrose play! And it's like, dude, could you not?

He's fucking banging a dinner bell? And it's great. I love it. It's such good news. Fuck, I'm so happy for her. It's like, dude, like this is not a platonic. The same thing happened when she spent the night with Jake. It's like he has to fucking run his mouth to everybody.

It's really weird. I guess they're trying to set up like they have like a brother's sister relationship. Is how they're, I don't know. Is that? Yeah. Oh, that like, Billy is like looking out for. her right or like at least like no like all she was she was out last night gonna tell mom and dad that don't exist uh so her boss comes up to her and she's like Allison you who are two

fucking hours late and you blew me off last night she's like I'm I'm sorry I just I have this cold and she's like you're still full of shit you better show up an hour early tomorrow which is like a real who this is like practical probation kind of a situation it's weird dude I've never once been asked to show up an hour early for work for some reason. I couldn't believe this fucking demand. Like, I don't know. Are you fucking paying me for that? Like, what

is that shit? Well, I guess the idea is you're trying to make up the time you miss today kind of a thing. I guess so, dude, but there's a reason we have a fucking eight-hour work day in the United States. I don't know if this is legal. This is California. They got the best labor laws. Fucking let's shut down D&D. Like, get them fucking closed for

business. And she's like, oh, you know, she winds up going, she buys some crazy drafts she goes out to i'm sorry this is when she goes out to lunch with jane we should talk about jane's bullshit story here wherein she is very nervous about having put on some weight with the baby uh she's she's gained five pounds she says yeah that's that's uh times that for three in quarantine uh yeah i think that was like my fucking quarantine week long and she's like uh and she's very concerned about that so she goes to she's like taking classes with ronda my very thing is she goes her on this class and like I love

the idea that like women actually working out was just invented she's like you know Rhonda I was reading about Madonna who was lifting weights and then that Terminator woman doing pull-ups it's just like the idea that a woman While listening to Nirvana

and salt and pepper she used a barbell Rhonda a woman using a barbell? That's crazy I thought that was illegal also is speaking of illegal is it illegal to say linda hamilton yeah that was she gonna fucking sue no one knows who linda hamilton is i guess is the idea yeah that's the thing we're trying to we're trying to dump it down for the normies uh and but that's kind of her thing she winds up like you know doing all this stuff so she's at dinner with jane at shooters and alison is raving about keats dick um and she's like i i think i had an orgasm last night dude it is insane that is essentially what she's saying to Jane without actually saying. Well, yes, of course.

But she's just like, look, Jane, I don't know how it is for you, but my leg is still shaking. It's 1992. It's illegal for a woman to say orgasm. Yes. Well, she's like, I know what, the way she puts it exactly is, I know what Meg Ryan was faking in when Harry met Sally.

Alison thought it was a myth. The whole female orgasm thing. Yes. Well, that's just what Billy's been telling me. I can tell you all for the fact. That's fake evolution of the bullshit. Jesus Christ wrote a dinosaur my dad was there. The moon landings?

Ever heard of a little guy named Stanley Kubrick? So, you know, and she's like, you know, I'm going to go back to Keith tonight. It's going to be so exciting. You also see her again, like this dude is making her do crazy things because at the beginning of the episode, she's proudly told Billy that she's never used her credit card she keeps it away in a drawer like emergencies only

and when she shows Jane she has purchased a dress that the two of them spied in a window at the beginning of the episode and it's like oh no Keith's got her using her credit card oh no she's accruing credit for herself now

well Keith has got to be eventually like hey babe use that credit card to get us dinner yeah totally Hey, babe, I saw a cool jacket It'll be good for my new job interview Why don't you buy it for me? Why don't you get me a steak and you a water burger?

When I said I was a marine biologist. It's more a marine biologist fan. I'm just a ocean enthusiast. I'll get there. You know I'm good for it. Is anyone here a marine biologist? No, so he, she goes up to Keith's

beach house in this insane dress. She's so excited to surprise him. She's got like wine and she's going to have this great night and Keith's on the phone and he's like, well, I don't know what you want me to do, babe. I'm trying to live my life here. You're living your life there. We're doing the best we can here. And Allison's like, uh...

Yeah, dude, she comes in like all smiles with a bag of groceries. Like, oh, sorry, you're on the phone. And the second you can see, like, which way the wind's blowing on that call. She's like, uh, uh, she's like, puts the groceries down on the counter. Keith gets a chance to skip out of this. He admits

it's his wife. Well, yes, because she asks about if it's a girlfriend at first. She's like, is that your past relationship? And then he's like, well, it's actually my wife. Well, because he's already got what he wanted, Chris. Now we're in phase two. Sure.

Because it's the gaslighting that it's her fault that they are doing this. He does mention that he never sees his wife because she's a lobbyist in D.C. And I'm like, what the fuck? An oil lobbyist? Did he think, like, oh, well, it cancels each other out if I'm, uh... Oh, sure.

It's like James Carville and his life. Exactly. Because I'm like, what are the, like, environmental lobby? I don't think that exists. No, yeah, while he's picking up women on the street with, with a little desk and some pamphlets, she's probably fucking some Texas oil guy. Yeah, totally. And he's, it's feasible that it's, you know, you're lobbying on the side of the environment.

Yeah, do they exist? They're just underfunded, really. And they're paid by very good people, I'm sure. Well, I just love that, by the way, Keith moved to L.A. because he's on some research grant for this ocean activist group or whatever. And he's like, it's when they're talking about the house. And he's like, yeah, one of our benefactors just told me I could live in their house here. So they gave it to me.

And I'm like, did you fucking kill a family that lived on the beach, dude? I mean, he might be hiding out. He said that he used to work at SeaWorld or something for a few years in San Diego. Diego. He probably like covered up some kids' death. That or the abuse of all those whales. That's something Keith might do. Oh, you know what?

He might have been getting a grant from John C. Lily. Who's that? The guy who experimented with dolphins taking acid. Oh, that's awesome. And like mating with women. Whoa, we got to do this. Oh, that's a bit too far. I mean, this is a real thing that exists.

So have a Google. Is it still going on? No. No. Applicants. They might be. If you want to go to Tuesdays, Eric, go ahead. I mean, which part of that would you be interested in? Getting high with a dolphin or watching a dolphin have sex with a woman? Oh, man.

Don't make me. Or having sex with a dolphin. Yeah, exactly. Maybe I could do acid and be thrown into a fucking tub and we'll figure it out. All right, Eric, now you're going to take all these tabs. And then over here to your right, this pool is filled with the horniest dolphins. Here are our options. You can just take the acid.

You can take the acid and swim. You can take the acid and swim with the dolphin. You can watch the dolphin fuck a woman. You can watch the dolphin fuck woman with acid. You want to see the dolphin fucker? So she storms away and is devastated. And Keith is like, well, here's my number, which is my favorite part about this whole thing.

Well, now that you know that I've definitely, which is also weird, like it's not like his wife is ever showing up. So why are you so protective about your night? number anyway. I don't understand why the phone number matters. I really don't. Like, that's a married guy thing. Like, they don't give you the number because they don't want you calling when the wife is there. But if the wife isn't there, that's the whole point.

Yeah, maybe he's just bad. I think he's got other women coming in. Oh, definitely. Let's keep the phone not ringing. All right. I'm going to be entertaining. All right. I'll give her phone number to number four. This is my burners. I've got a lot lined up here.

So she comes back and she's like really upset and her and Bill are hanging out. This is one Billy's trying to console her a bit about, you know, he's mostly being reasonable here as far as Billy goes. It's actually pretty fine, except I think, I mean, it's obviously a flaw of the prop department, but in the world of this episode,

it looks like Billy didn't fill those mugs with hot chocolate. Oh, yeah. And he's like, oh, here you go, Alton, just drink some chocolate. That'll fix everything. And she's got a great line here. She's like, oh, drink some chocolate. Billy, the way I feel, you should just drown me in it. It's like, oh, my God, drowning in chocolate, I don't know.

It's fucking hot chocolate. It just goes back to the fact that Billy is like a little boy. Like, yep. It's just nuts. Like, he should be like, here, you want a beer or, you know, a glass of wine or something? Yeah, something's sensible. Listen, listeners at home, drink. Period.

I work for the liquor lobby. Allison and I just, I couldn't get my credit card. I couldn't get the Super Nintendo. This whole week has been terrible for me. I'll say, here's some Coca-Cola, some cocoa, some cocoa puffs, and we're going to watch the classic Rugrats. Oh, God. Is that brand new, right? Or is that even out of that?

That should have just been right new, right? Yeah, just about right. Nice. Concurrent. So she's really upset, and she realizes it's over with Keith because he's married. Like, she won't, she won't do that, although it sounds like she's not, she's not exactly that firm on it. Eventually, she goes back to work, and her boss is like, you were supposed to be in an hour early. And she's like, listen, I've been having a lot of personal problems.

And this woman is amazing because she's just like, instead of being like, yeah, suck it up, kid, or like, or you're fired. Because it's not like my, my, you know, my father died or something. It's like, oh, you know, I had this relationship with a man. And she's like really understanding, which is shocking. Yeah. I appreciated this moment. But she again, though, is like, all right. Oh, that's fine.

But like, people your age fucking fuck up at this exact same time. and ruin their career trajectories with thoughts like that. So just figure out like what it is you want to have happened to you. Oh, hey, Alasin, sorry to call you at work, but this Tommy Pickles got it made. What's his secret? By the way, I did look it up. It was accurate.

That show started in 1990, believe it. Yeah, that makes sense. So Alfa, Alton, Alton, run a Dippy Thubbe back to come and hope. No, I have to work, Billy. Oh, come on. I mean, there you go. Billy should be a stoner. Yes, that would make so much more sense.

Allison, we're going to do our Gabor Cthupo Power Hour. Allison, you better get home quick. I'm taping Clarissa explains it all. It's time for Snick. La, la, la, la, la, la. Oh, that Ferguson, what wild adventures will he get up to this week? All right, all right. La, la, la.

I could have played that dad, I think. I want to have made a good fam. You know, Allison, that show that sucked, the Simpsons, it's getting good. Getting real good. So that's, I mean, like, I forgot how this ends, like, she winds up. She goes back to him. To Keith, right? She goes back to Keith.

Oh, that's right, yes. And Keith is just like, listen, Alison, my marriage is over. It's just sort of not officially over, but pretty much she's over. And she's like, are you guys separate? And he's like, no, she lives in Washington, D.C., so it's like living on Mars. And it's like, not really. Yeah, you can get a coach to coast flight, bud. But she's just like, she kind of hugs him and they kind of ended on, like, clearly she's

making this mistake kind of thing. Well, because it ends on him saying, trust me, it's all going to work out. And he doesn't say, trust me, I'm going to get a divorce. Trust me, I'm going to leave her. Trust me, I'm drafting this separation notice right now. It'll all work out. It's going to work out for Keith and Keith's fucking dong, dude. Don't you like to wear my dick looking that condom?

My cock is dressed by Billy. I don't know if we mentioned it, but just one last thing here. Allison dodged another bullet this week because after all the shenanigans of the past few weeks, dealing with Billy, she offers to let him pay off the loan on her credit card. Jesus Christ. Well, because, yeah, because he's like, oh, I got to move home. And she's like, no, Billy, that would be terrible here. Why don't you just, yeah, take it out on my credit card.

Like, dude, you'll annihilate your credit. She's such a doormat. And she's been giving him money and helping him out so many fucking times. And Billy's very excited because all of a sudden that scheduling issue he thought he had earlier, well, it's gone off the table. So he thinks he's about to get it in like four days. And now he can fucking use her credit card. that's all he's wanted

is like how do I get that credit card it's just amazing so yeah this is actually the beginning of a saga Allison and Keith's saga it's a couple episodes long if I'm not mistaken it lasts for a little bit yeah I think it might even roll into season two I don't remember for sure but so yeah this is

this is a big up guys a little that's kind of all we got to say unless we got some parting shots and you know are you excited to continue on we're going to start with Eric Cisco man this This episode is something else. This whole Alice, Allison needs to become a character quick for me.

But, you know, there was Billy to hate, so there was that. I'm interested to see where the saga Keith goes. I've really no idea where it could go from here. I hope the wife shows up. So I'm excited to continue, although I hope we don't have to, but I know we will. Christopher Cabin. Well, Eric, the problem with making Allison a full character,

is that Courtney Thornt Smith sucks. Yes. And she cannot, she wouldn't be able to hit those eyes. By the way, if someone listening hasn't seen the, uh, her appearance on, on late night with Conan O'Brien, where Norm MacDonald was also there, definitely look it up. Oh, man.

It's one of the best moments in late night television. I agree. Or just comedy in general. It's my personal favorite. I will say one thing I was very nervous about this whole episode is I thought this is the beginning of Jane having an eating disorder. Yes. I was nervous about that too. And I was like,

like, uh-oh, don't do it, don't do this. You're gonna fuck it up, but you know you will. Yeah, they kind of, they fold that into like just she's depressed about losing the baby. It goes nowhere. Like, she, okay, she signs up for a class for, one of Ronda's classes, and then we never see the resolution or anything with that.

No. Well, she tells Michael that she lost, you know, that remaining five pounds or whatever, and it's basically, it's a scene where she's like, I thought losing that would make me, you know, just erase the pain of having the miscarriage, and he's like, well, I told you that's not Drew Cabal.

I mean, this is, I wasn't crazy about this episode, but I am very interested to see how they make this. Like Eric, I don't know how they make this Allison Keith thing lasts for much longer. I'm very interested to see how they do that.

Andrew Jupin? Yeah, well, one of the ways is a few episodes from now we introduce that wife, so don't worry about that. Also, Allison's very stupid, so it's going to go on for as long as she falls for it. exactly yeah um no this episode it was trash but in finally some nice trash i mean like just seeing someone engaging in having like a torrid affair at a beach house i was like okay this is you know

the melrose place that you know made me start tuning in uh as a lad you know um and yeah as far as continuing absolutely uh i will be on hand a few episodes from now actually so as we already T's last week or next week rather is Sandy's next week but then also in just a few more weeks from now we get the introduction of Daphne Zuniga's Joe Reynolds

that's a big turning point I did not expect to get there before quarantine ended but here we are just a few short weeks dude it's episode 15 so we're already on episode 12 when the show started she thought she was still going to get some drift off of space balls but that didn't happen

But, yeah, I'm down to clown, of course. Yeah, of course I am as well. I think this episode's pretty ridiculous with the student loan stuff, things that I'm still battling this day. You know, and just looking at the Gen X version of student loans or whatever kind of what we thought about student loans from a Gen X point of view, yada, yada, all that to say, I'm down for this ridiculous 90s throwback.

So we're going to see you guys next week. Actually, tomorrow on the Patreon feed, we got a pretty big drop coming up, which is the Catsmentary, which is a singable commentary to the movie that nobody liked 2019's Cats, which I hope killed Tom Hooper's career, but we'll find out.
