Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a headgum podcast. Hello, and welcome to another edition of Hello and welcome to another edition of Melro 2.1. know a quarantine side show of the we hate movies podcast wherein we ask you to remain indoors but put on your sunscreen because we're going to the west coast here for a little bit I am here with my best fucking friends in the world some good dudes from other neighborhoods Chris Cabin. Oh, hi, I, Eric Siska.
Starting point is 00:01:20 So, you know, everyone has like this catchphrase now. I need to figure one out and I was thinking maybe, howdy, partner, wasn't like a cowboy. Oh, I like that. That's not too bad. Owen Wilson was a cowboy in those Night of the Museum movies. Oh, wow. He was also a cowboy in Shanghai Nights. Or Shanghai Noon, excuse me.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Are you wearing your 10-galloner there, Eric? I am. It's attached to my buttocks as a diaper. Nice. And Andrew Juppin. You! Somebody out there is like, he's not saying it. He's not going to say it.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Oh, my God. He's going to fuck it up that fat idiot. We are speaking of fat idiots. I like that listener, by the way. That's a cool listener. Yeah, that dude rules. We are listening to, you are listening to us, but we're going to be talking about. We're not listening to you.
Starting point is 00:02:08 That's not listening to didn't happen. I wish we could. Yes, the WHM surveillance state. You know what I'm into it? And now that I got the power, right? Oh, yeah, there you go, dude. Turn it right around, huh? You got the touch.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Yeah. One Man and a Baby, Beverly Hills 902 and O episode. uh is at 12 season 1 original air date January the 24th 1991 uh yeah we're dealing it's it's this is just such a wafer thin episode like there's no interpersonal relationships this happens a lot with brandon specifically because like he doesn't really have a serious quote unquote girlfriend until like the next season he gets a couple of serious girlfriends and those are like story arcs is he ever is he ever with any of the obviously not brenda i'll stop you right there eric Because here's the question.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Is he ever with any of like the main cast women? Yes, he gets together with one of the cast members. And a couple of people become cast members after they start dating him, yada, yada, yada. Oh, I see. Quick question. Is that, I'm going to guess. I think I might have this right on the money. Cindy Walsh.
Starting point is 00:03:20 God damn, Eric, you're good. I mean, it doesn't get said enough. You're fucking good. Son of a bitch. Well, my favorite part, my favorite line of this whole episode is when Brenda, and I was jumping ahead a lot, but when Brenda is like, have fun with mom, which she's kind of making fun about, his new girlfriend, and then Sidney's right behind him, like, oh, good, what are we doing, Brandon? Dude, and then he just leaves and it's just like, well, I guess I'll go kill myself. It's a classic Cindy moment. Oh, my God. Hey, opening credit thing, I just want to say, it's no new observations other than the following. Here we are. rotting away in quarantine
Starting point is 00:03:58 doing this show and we record just a little inside baseball for all the listeners out there we record the 9021 episodes a 902102 episodes on Friday afternoon so here we are Friday June the 12th and I have to say the Friday ritual of hearing that fucking theme song
Starting point is 00:04:18 saxophone it has become so soothing to me like I sat there this morning like just now and I was like oh yeah I think it's become like a way to tell time for me. I'm like, I'm watching 902 and oh this morning. I'm like, it's Friday. The weekend is here.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Exactly. And because like as much as I want to keep watching, I can't blow ahead because of the show. So like this is my only day of the week. I get to watch 902. It's a kind of a five o'clock whistle for me as well because I'm doing like, we got summer Fridays and I'll put this on right when I'm done working. And it's like, oh, it's the weekend, baby. Let's look at Jenny Gart's incredibly pale body.
Starting point is 00:04:55 as we do the theme song. I got a fucking jazz cigarette waiting for the second that this ends. It's the best. It's like the big cheesy saxophone just comes in. That's really it for me. The percussion, all that can go away. I just need the big fucking sacks. Jenny Garth is kind of unsettling,
Starting point is 00:05:15 in a complimentary way. It's too bad she wasn't in any lynch film or anything. Oh yeah, she's got a very lynchian vibe. It's like this weird, like super chivalry. a doll paleness that she has going on yet she's kind of like very americana at the same time she could have fucking worked a shift her to two at the double r dude yeah it is funny because she's like oh i think they do this early on it's like oh kelly's going tanning again i'm like when yes seriously and that's kind of hilarious you think that they would like be like you know hey jenny
Starting point is 00:05:46 garth you're living in california here you're supposed to be this rich girl what's that get the old tanning bed what do you say i just don't think it's gonna happen i think garth is probably some sort of Irish situation. That's my guess. Oh, that's right. She'd fucking burst into flames sitting in one of those things. Hi, Jenny.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Hi, Jenny. It's accounting. Yeah, why do you have it in your writer that you need to have blackout curtains everywhere? I just need to know. Only filming after sundown. Yeah, so this,
Starting point is 00:06:14 to finish my earlier thought, this is like one of those episodes, which it bugs me because it's like, we spend so much real estate on a character we'll never see again. And that's Brandon's girlfriend. of the week. And it's like, okay, here's her problem. Oh, we solved it sort of kind of and learned about something else. Goodbye. And the whole like notion, because like, yeah, you know, we can
Starting point is 00:06:35 jump around, whatever. But the very last scene is him being, you know, she's like, this episode is Brandon dates a girl that has a child, by the way. So, so she's like, you know, oh, I think I need to spend more time with Joey, the other little boy. You know, so maybe we'll see each other around. He's like, yeah, I'll see you around. And I'm like, don't lie. I'm never going to see this face again in my life. Exactly. He makes a joke about like visitation rights at that scene.
Starting point is 00:07:00 It definitely does. That's uncomfortable. Yes, absolutely. Legally have no right to see this child, Brandon. Stand down. Stand down, sir. We start other, it's Brandon, again, like just sort of drifting through life. He's sitting under a tree
Starting point is 00:07:14 eating his lunch. And this girl is next to him. He's attractive. And he's saying, she's singing his song. And he's like, could you keep it down? Dude, this fucking pigish. First interaction he has with this girl. Hey. Is this a public performance or should I pretend I'm not listening?
Starting point is 00:07:32 Yeah, dude, she's ready to fucking S your D after that line. Hey, everybody. Everybody, listen to her singing. No, go on. Go on. Now that you have all of our attention, stupid. It's a real neg situation. Big time.
Starting point is 00:07:49 That's Brandon's move. She falls for it. She's like, oh, sorry. and he grabs the book out of her and he's like Harvard huh you think you gotta get in there idiot dude it's made all it's made all the better by the fact that they have dressed Jason Priestley in a fucking primo Canadian tuxedo in the scene
Starting point is 00:08:06 yeah it's not bad it is weird that he grabbed her head and started knocking on her head saying anyone home in there calling her Mcfly like that it was so weird it's bizarre hey extra alert by the way I got a couple extra alerts in this episode I think we're going to read off
Starting point is 00:08:23 one of my notes, go right ahead. Ooh, okay, I don't know, because it's a few seconds back. It's right as we're getting like the establishing shot of Jason Priestley under the tree where it's just showing people walking across the campus. There is a guy wearing a completely unseasonable, huge ski jacket.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Thank you. Oh, you caught it? Yes. What the fuck is that guy's problem? You know, I think they're trying, I think this episode's supposed to be in winter that's aired in January, right? And I think the Canadian tuxedo is,
Starting point is 00:08:51 is Brandon's winter wear. Yeah, it's fall because you see a lot of leaves on the ground. They make a point of like showing there's a bunch of leaves on the ground. But like, is this guy just like he gets in the shade? He's like, the jacket that this guy was wearing is what you take to go downhill skiing. It's that and he's got a big fucking Bill Belichick hooded sweatshirt underneath it, like without his zipper. It's like, dude, where are you coming from and we're going?
Starting point is 00:09:18 It's insane. He's taking off gloves as he gets into shot. he meets her her name is i want to say it's melissa right let me yeah it's melissa and you know that they kind of hit it off a little bit she what she winds up leaving and he's like hey you dropped something you oh and it's her latin paper dude he starts playing fucking high school detective and it's a little uncomfortable it's so insane but i got to tell you this this like him
Starting point is 00:09:46 finding the paper on the ground is the first of two times in this episode Brandon lazily tries to get someone's attention like that because he sees this paper and he's like, oh, wait a minute, you forgot something. Yeah, definitely. And like they cut and she's like 50 yards away. Come on, dude. Like get up off your duff and go give it to her. The best thing about this is there is a, there's a mark. She got an A plus on this paper by the way. Good going, Melissa. The teacher,
Starting point is 00:10:16 I guess, like Mrs. Fedge, wrote you should write for Caesar Julius Caesar you, you an 18 year old should write for Caesar not Sid Caesar
Starting point is 00:10:30 Julius Caesar Julius Caesar because he might have retained his power if he had the inside of a teenage girl maybe that teacher had heard about what happened a couple towns over in San Demas you know what I mean like there's those kids they brought they had a lot of fun that one weekend
Starting point is 00:10:46 maybe she can go back and write for Caesar I don't know. Steve, you should definitely work for Napoleon. That's where you belong. That's where you should be. I personally would like to intern with Socrates. Is this because she got a lot of knives in her back
Starting point is 00:11:00 with, you know, socially speaking in this school? Her shithead fucking friends we see in one awkward scene. So he winds up using, I didn't have this, but my brother's, my older brother's school had this, which is a school directory that had everyone's phone number in it. Did you guys have it for this? It seems like a dangerous thing.
Starting point is 00:11:20 That is a jerky boy's dream. I think that's why that stopped. Chris, I don't think we had that. Absolutely not. Maybe parents did? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, kids certainly didn't have that sitting around. I remember my high school, my brother's high school, he brought his thing, brought it back, and we would just go through.
Starting point is 00:11:39 We didn't prank anybody, but you just look at this asshole, because it had their picture next to it and everything. So it's like, oh, this asshole. Look at that asshole. Look at that asshole. Well, we do know that Brandon runs the roost at the Walsh household. So maybe he went up to Jim and said, hey, Jim, give me the fucking directory. Dad, you're never going to use this. Well, Brendan, I don't know if you should have this really.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Dad, Jim, give me the directory. All right, Brandon. Just make sure your sister doesn't get it because she'll fuck it up. You know, your sister fucks everything. All right, all right, Jim. I'm only going to slap you three times this time, okay? Just three. So he looks her up.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And it's like, okay, I have a cool. pretence to call her up because I have her paper and he's got to get on the phone but uh-oh Brenda's on the phone they definitely this palace should have two fucking lines one upstairs one downstairs absolutely 1991 what are we what are we doing here you have two teenage children that are the exact same age yeah come on Jim Walsh and yeah Jim even says like later in the episode like geez what are I got to get a second phone line around here I'm like yeah no kidding obviously Cindy says don't because there'll be they'll be in college before you know it.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Oh, great point, Eric, because Brandon does confirm here that he is a junior and he will be a junior again next year, so don't worry about it. And the year after that, and the year after that. It's going to, this season's going to end, there's going to be a big summer thing, and then they're going to
Starting point is 00:13:05 come back and be juniors again. That's so fucking funny. And then some, but somehow David is a sophomore, fucking figure that shit out. But it's a hush, hush thing, right? Like, he doesn't obviously fail the grade. No, no, no. No, it's just, they're want to spend more time in high school, obviously. We're being held better. Wait, voluntarily
Starting point is 00:13:21 spend more time in high school? I think that's illegal. No, the studio at Fox was like, we don't want these kids to graduate kind of a thing. Right. I was going to say, does Brandon start wearing the same exact thing every day like Bart Simpson? I wish.
Starting point is 00:13:38 But Brenda and Kelly, no Donna in this episode. By the way, credit only on IMD, Gabriel Carteris, Luke Perry, Brian Austin Green Douglas Emerson and Dori spelling
Starting point is 00:13:49 credit only for all of them It's insane I was like looking at that right as the episode was starting and I was like oh my God this is a ghost town If I want anyone dealing with a baby
Starting point is 00:14:01 In addition to Brandon We get Steve Sanders in this episode Who better than Dylan He's already sired a kid in France You know maybe we could give Donna two credits for this episode It's sad she's not in it So it's a credit to her
Starting point is 00:14:15 That she's not in it You know, I think Just throwing around here Spitballing in the old writer's room But you know who could play baby Joey Is Donna Donna Donna does a great baby voice
Starting point is 00:14:31 They invent like the Gandalf Shrinking and upscaling shit early Just for that And it's just a little Donna Oh that's terrifying It was like a precursor to the dancing baby Or and or a little man The Wayans Brothers film
Starting point is 00:14:46 Oh, fuck, yeah. Little man? Is that what the movie was? Little man. Little man, yeah. Okay. So, they're trying to do, this is something a very 90s thing. We're trying to call into a radio show for a contest. And we're fucking hounding,
Starting point is 00:15:00 we're pounding the lines there. Five in a row. Anybody ever? The last five songs that they played. Anybody ever win a radio contest and or call in? I've never got anything. Yeah, I called into radio stations
Starting point is 00:15:14 quite a bit, actually. Never won a goddamn thing though. I remember very specifically there was a Star Wars contest around, I think the re-releases that I was fucking pounding the lines for C-100, baby. I don't remember what it was. It might have been
Starting point is 00:15:29 like a fucking collector's cup, but I still didn't win it. The radio station here me has this contest every morning where they like do five quick parodies of songs that are supposed to be like groups of people like actors from New York a musical guest set Coachella, like, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:15:47 And there was one that so many people were not getting. It was taking so long for the contest to, like, finish that I almost called in just to do it. I was so pissed off. It went off for, like, I was in the car for a while. It was like 30 minutes, and I was like, nobody could get it.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Dude, you should have called in, and the first thing you say is, the only reason I'm calling in is so we can end this segment and get back to the music. Yeah, yeah, we hear that all the time, buddy. Give me your answers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a terrestrial radio station in 2020. What do you think I'm thinking
Starting point is 00:16:19 right now? Taunting the radio station will only make this bit go longer. Your answer, please. You're very smart. You're about to solve a radio puzzle. Let me guess. You've got a podcast. Yeah, big fucking surprise.
Starting point is 00:16:35 You know what the biggest radio puzzle was? The film frequency. Oh, is that with Dennis Quaid? Yeah. And like, it's Dennis Quaidon, is it also, I believe, the Lord Jesus Christ in that movie? Jim Cavizal? Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:51 I was just checking, because if it was actually the Lord Christ, I'd be like, do for a rewatch. No, and it's not Willem Defoe either. Or Max von Schaido. Oh, that's right. But so Kelly and Donna, Kelly and Brenda are trying to call in. It's a contest if you name all five songs. They play, you know, Blah,
Starting point is 00:17:14 blah, blah, blah. You can get in. You'll get some sort of a prize. Give me something stupid. So, but they start teasing Brandon because he wants to call a girl. And they're like, who is it? Who is it? And neither of them have heard of her. And Chris, you've got something here. I don't want to take it out of your mouth because it's your baby.
Starting point is 00:17:34 It's really wild. My wife, Sophia, caught this. So they're talking about whether or not it's good for a guy to be cocky. Right. And Kelly's like, it's a little bit. and Brandon, it's like, no. And you can tell the way the shot goes is they go, one shot is Kelly and Brenda, and the other shot is just Brandon looking back between the two of them. And the motion
Starting point is 00:17:54 is just him looking back and forth and back and forth. And then the final shot, when they stopped doing this cocky talk, is him looking directly at the camera with like a cocked eyebrow. Yes. It's a gym from the office move. Dude, it's so incredible. I was so
Starting point is 00:18:09 thankful that you pointed this out when I finally saw it. I had to rewind when I finished the episode. There's almost even like a brief nod. Yes, yeah. Like right towards the camera. Oh my God. It's great. It's like he's asking for them to call cut.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Like lunch was supposed to be 12 minutes ago. Right. Or like he's like nodding like I'm good to go or something like that to like do the tape. You're still here. You're still watching the episode. Get out of here. See, I saw more of like I thought a subtitle was going to come up saying women, am I right? Yeah, it's a little bit of that.
Starting point is 00:18:40 That's true. So he calls her up and. And Kelly and Brenda are hanging on as every word. You know, we're all, we're young, we're teens, you know, they're teasing them a bit. Brenda's getting way too close to her brother, which, you know, it is what it is now. There was a great Kelly line here where, uh, because like, it's a Latin paper. And she goes, oh, just tell her e pluribus unum. And Brandon's like, how did you know what that was?
Starting point is 00:19:05 And it's kind of a, it's actually like a perfect Kelly Taylor line and great Jenny Garth delivery because she's just like, it's on money. yes and i was like yep that all fits that's kind of a good line uh so she he's talking to her he's like hey so i have your paper here i looked you up in the school directory and i was wondering if you want to get dinner friday night oh you're babysitting well what about saturday night babysitting again and like kelly and brend are like abort abort no one needs to babysit that much then he's like well if you don't want to and then he hears that and instantly goes nuclear on her and he's like
Starting point is 00:19:42 Well, if you don't like me, then don't make a bullshit about fucking babysitting. And she's, and you don't hear her side of it. And then he's like, oh, okay. Yeah, Friday would be great. Hey, I totally super negger into dating me. Awesome. She's having a lot of serious self-doubt, but that's no matter to me. This digging stuff really works, guys.
Starting point is 00:20:07 So, you know, that's kind of it. He picks her up. Brandon already driving again, by the way, speaking of this being a cartoon that resets itself like Bart Simpson's clothes. But the car is gone. He has to borrow Cindy's. Dude, he's driving Cindy's fucking Ford Torres wagon.
Starting point is 00:20:26 This thing's hilarious. I guess this would be Dukakis, is my guess. God damn it. Yeah, because they name the cars after all the Democratic losers, right, Mondale, Dukakis. Can't wait for the new Clinton to come out? Getting the gore ready A couple years
Starting point is 00:20:45 Let's unleash the carry, babe The new Nissan go Go where you can't go So But he picks her up And like, you know, she's You know, kind of We see her mother here
Starting point is 00:21:00 By the way, her mother Nightmar and Elm Street Part 2's What's her name here? Melinda O'Fee She plays the love interest's Mother in that film is that right i'm real mom actress this wow momming it up yeah um i think she she's the one that like
Starting point is 00:21:18 when they go to the party and like uh uh the like the dad keeps coming down she just like kind of wrangle him back if you're oh yes i do remember that actually yeah um so whatever but like you know she's kind of like uh you know a little bit more responsive with her mother she gets in a car and it's very much like oh god i can't wait so glad to be out of that house well that's kind of odd and they're listening to the radio Kelly and Brenda get through they win a contest
Starting point is 00:21:48 which gives them two skydiving lessons you guys oh yeah here we go skydiving skydiving just just nothing going on in this episode I'm sorry it's like it's there's and that's the weird thing too we're not talking about Dylan like all these little like threads that have been like going on
Starting point is 00:22:07 are just absent of this episode yeah like where's Kelly to be like you know hey Brenda how's Dylan's dick doing? The biggest thing is Brandon just got done being a fucking getting caught in a DWI and he's driving throughout this fucking episode. Dude, lay off the pipe
Starting point is 00:22:23 cab and I said that like three minutes ago. No, I like the pipe. So do I, dude, but damn. But also, no, it's very true though. There needs to be one line of like, yeah, I can only drive between six and eight and then after that I can't. We got to go on a breakfast date.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Oh, my ankle bracelet. I hope it doesn't bother you too much. If we go dancing, just to let you know I have this ankle bracelet. Are we being followed? Oh, yeah, that's Frank. He's been following me for a while now after I got a little tipsy behind the wheel. Guys, my brain is mush now. Have we done skydiving on this show already?
Starting point is 00:23:00 Or was that another show? I know we had bungee jumping on Melrose place. It was bungee jumping on Melrose. I feel like we talked about skydiving recently. Oh, you know what? No, that's right. I think that there is... Isn't there a fantasy
Starting point is 00:23:11 where Brenda skydives for a second? She was a race car driver. Race car driver. Okay. Dude, these dumb-ass fantasy sequences, another one that happens in this episode. What the fuck? It's a season one fucking bane of my existence. Is that done when the season's over with?
Starting point is 00:23:27 Yeah, the show gets sexier. It's a better show when it starts to be a sexy high school show. But so whatever, you know, they win this contest. They're going to go skydiving. And at the end of the date, you know, and she's making all these elliptical things about responsibility
Starting point is 00:23:43 and yada, yada, yada. And she's like, oh, yeah, there's a lot about me. You don't know. Brandon is like, well, I can't wait to find out. And then at the end of the date, she'll go, I want you to meet somebody. She brings him inside. And there is her baby, Joey.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Sleeping on his stomach, by the way, which is not something you're supposed to do with a baby. As of 1992, they realize that leads to SIDS. Really? Do not do that at home. I didn't know you were so good with kids. Steve? I, you know, there's a lot of kids
Starting point is 00:24:09 in my family. I just, that I knew. I double-checked it before I started spouting off on air. But yes, you absolutely should not just be faced down in kids. Well, I know that you're not supposed to do that with babies, but, dude, where are you pulling the years of this legislation
Starting point is 00:24:25 or whatever? That's from whatever I, when I googled it. I was like, you're not supposed to do that, right? And Google said, yes, you're right. Wow, so this was the last year for babies sleeping on their backs, huh? Live it up, kids. Is that where the language face downing came from?
Starting point is 00:24:40 I think so. Well, I mean, it makes sense. You have this really weak child that, you know, can't control itself. Ah, put him face down there. He got it. Well, you know, if he makes it, he'll be stronger for it. That's true. This is also Melissa trying to, you know, maybe let nature take its course here a little bit.
Starting point is 00:25:01 I remember all the great work done by Path, parents against face downing. and he's like, whoa, it's your brother. It's like, no, it's my son. Dun, done, da, ad break. There is a real fucking young and the restless-esque pause here on Jason Priestley. And it's like, you know when soap operas cut to commercial after a revelation and like they spend seconds not saying anything and just staring at each other? Yes. That's what happens here.
Starting point is 00:25:27 It's like, he's my son. Dun, dun, dun, down. And it's just Jason Priestley staring at this woman with his mouth open. And I mean, that's kind of the movement of the thing. He tells Brenda, and Brenda's like, well, my God, it's kind of crazy. You know, you got this whole, like, situation going. I was like, yeah, I know, it's weird. Kind of doesn't matter because she's not a character.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Yeah, I know. And, I mean, I'm going to start skimming through some stuff because that happens. Steve Sanders, very helpful in the hallway. The 4-1-1. that's kind of the next big scene is Brandon and Steve he's like leaning on Steve again like it's it's really unclear
Starting point is 00:26:13 if Brandon even likes Steve but he just talks to him so Steve in my notes I just wrote why are Brandon and Steve friends Dylan was busy yeah I hear Donna was going to be around so he went to Baja but yeah Steve Sanders does this whole line of dialogue like we know like what about the
Starting point is 00:26:31 father's choice they should have aborted that thing most girls would take care of the baby. Yes. I mean, take care. What are you in the mafia? Just say, you know, a lot of girls, I know some girls, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:44 that have a procedure, blah, blah, blah, or like maybe you can give it up for a doctor. Take care of it. I'm Steve Sanders, and I've bullied scores of girls into having abortions. You know, Brandon, I could help take care of it now for you.
Starting point is 00:26:59 That's what you want. I do free Melissa schedule right up. I've got it before. All right, Brandon. I'll go. I'll talk to Luke Abrazi. I'll see what he can do. Joey, no!
Starting point is 00:27:12 It's a baby getting into like a big wheel. Baby starting the big wheel. Joey Seltzun, no. You see him he puts a big plastic key in the ignition. That'd be a perfect ending to Baby's Day Out. Oh my God. Dude, that's the, Kevin, that is the start of Baby's Day Out too. You snuff out that first baby, and then it's a story about another baby's.
Starting point is 00:27:35 but you have to have the first baby get totally blown up in a car explosion it's not even about a baby it's about a team hunting down fucking joey pants and joe montana because they are clearly behind the hit or isn't cynthia nixon crooked in that movie too no she's just the nice nurse but i thought the nurse wound up being crooked at the end of the movie no no no no that's too bad never seen baby's day out i know it'll happen eventually we will get there some yeah um i do so yeah i mean he's just like because brand is like is kind of torn about like i don't know I'm ready for this, yada, yada, yada. Steve is such an asshole. And he does let everybody know. And he's like, yeah, the dad, Frank Seltzer. Is the guy. Frank Seltzer got this woman pregnant. And, you know, he's a really cool guy.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And he's a senior also, yada, yada, yada. Seltzer. Yeah, got knocked up by Johnny Club Soda. That is totally a thing where they were just looking around the writer's room and went, I don't know, Seltzer? Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, yeah. I'm sorry. I'm at the deli.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Oh, we need a character name. Oh, fuck. Dave Rubin. Oh, that's a person. Never mind. Frank Seltzer. Yeah, that works. Frank Seltzer.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Oh, I love it. I am, uh, oh, yeah, that's when she got pregnant by Tony Hold the Mustard. She fucked Dan Hoguey, too. Oh, Dan Hockey was getting his dick everywhere, man. I do love it. But, uh, so then he goes to Steve and he's like, Steve, you know, you really put things in perspective for me. He's like, well, thanks, Brandon.
Starting point is 00:29:08 I'm glad I can help. He's like, where are you going? Well, I'm going to go find Melissa and go on a fucking date with her. You scumbag. It's kind of a great, fuck you to Steve Sanders' advice. And also, like, if I'm stealing, like, well, this guy clearly hates my God. So I'm just going to, like, back off. And I don't need to talk to this little twerp again, you know?
Starting point is 00:29:25 Absolutely. We do see that there is a scene with Melissa and her friends around here as well, right? Yeah, it happens right after that. And this is a really weird. thing. I mean, you notice it every once in a while on television shows and they're doing it for whatever reason. But like, it's a thing where the guest star like will venture off and get its own scene for a second. And I'm sitting here and it's like, so it's Melissa and then these two girls that were her friends and everything. And it's a really awkward like they're being, you know, shitty to her
Starting point is 00:29:59 with the baby and it's all awkward and whatever. And I'm like, where is anyone? Like, shouldn't have Brandon interrupted this scene by now, and then you just realize, like, it's their whole, like, they have the whole scene. Yes, exactly. And I was like, Backdoor Pilot? Um, yeah, and she, yeah, basically at the Melissa show. Um, actually, that's a good, good point. Uh, this actress, uh, pull it up again, it is a Diane. Oh, no, so Kristen Detillo was offered the role of Brenda, but
Starting point is 00:30:27 turned it down. That's got a, that's got a stick in your crop. Yeah, it's, it's not, her career did not pan out as well as, uh, uh, Sharon Dardy's, I'll tell you that much. I would love a Melissa show just because then it would be like, each week it would be like, man, we can't do the show. I got to look after the baby.
Starting point is 00:30:42 The show's preempted. She was on like a season of Dexter. You know, she's kind of like, you know, done television here or there, a series regular on the Chris Isaac show. What was that? It was on Showtime in the early aughts, dude. Nice.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Well, that's probably like a red shoe. diary like we're getting a little sexy it's it was him like playing himself but he like lived like in a suburbia kind of thing or something it was i i think they've done i think they buried it just to make sure you didn't find it eric well because they had the gary shandling show which was you know like a predecessor to the larry sanders show and and and i guess maybe they were trying to do that with chris isaac a little bit oh yeah not the same situation there yeah no uh but it's basically like a friend's like oh how's just Joey doing? And he's like, oh, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:31:37 You should come by, see him? Yeah, we're not going to do that. So what are you guys doing later? We go to the mall. You want to come? Well, I can't because of Joey. Yeah, we fucking figured. It's like, okay, then don't talk to me. I don't know. It's fucking awful. They walk away and Melissa overhears them being like, she should just transfer to Beverly.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Dude, that's where that's where trash goes. Yep. Hillbilly High, Beverly High School, I guess. I just don't get it. Wait, wait, was West Beverly? That's where, Jim Belushi and the principal, he was the principal, right? He's a principal, man. A little boner for Miss, what was her name?
Starting point is 00:32:15 Orozco. There we go. Oh, you get a little boner for Miss Orozco. It's an adult talking to a kid. Yeah, well, yeah, I did. I had a bono for Miss Orozco. You got me, Jim. Welcome to Beverly High next to West Beverly High.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Here, everybody's pregnant. And if you ain't, you're going to be. I'm going to goose you in the bathroom. Yeah, we don't have semesters. We got trimesters here at Beverly High. Oh, my God. You're going to be skipping first period. Oh, yes, man.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Yes. Oh. This weekend's going to be good. So they amount to nothing. By the way, their only credits are this episode, by the way. Both of those women referred to as Melissa's friend number one. and Melissa's friend number two. I guess they got murdered.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Brandon decides to take Melissa out on a date but she can't her parents are out of town or something like that and she has to bring the kid and she's like, can we go somewhere noisy
Starting point is 00:33:22 that no one's gonna mind us a baby's like, I know a shithole. Yep, that's exactly what do you know a noisy restaurant? Read, do you know a shithole we can go to? Brandon, do you know where I could possibly get
Starting point is 00:33:33 tetanus from a hamburger? I have just the place It's just so happens I work there I know how you kids Like these burgers Extra naily Thanks Nat
Starting point is 00:33:44 Good old nail Nat He makes the best nail burgers You see the trick here Is you put the ground beef With rust in it And then you fold it over Over again Yeah they found
Starting point is 00:33:55 Joe E Tata Walking around a construction site They're like Hey we got some net work for you Joe you want to hop in the truck It's like three lines And you're talking to a baby I'll do that. I could do that.
Starting point is 00:34:06 He jumps on the back of a flat bed truck and just goes, gnat, nah, nah, nah. Fucking man. Yeah, they're just like hanging out at the Peach Pit. Your classic haunted 50s song is playing. Dude, so we have two extra alerts here in this scene. So one is, so we have the exterior of the Peach Pit. I love the cheap, cutesy painted sign of this restaurant, by the way.
Starting point is 00:34:34 I hope it never changes It probably does I want to open the peach pit In Los Angeles That's maybe our retirement move Yeah we could do like a peach pit pop-up Yeah that sounds good And then you do a peach pit pop-up
Starting point is 00:34:46 Podcast from the Papa I like it So when we go into the restaurant There's a couple sort of like I guess maybe they're being seated or something And the guy has like This really long face High cheekbones slick back black hair
Starting point is 00:35:03 He looks like a fucking European assassin. It's incredible. And then did you catch the, there's a couple, there's like two women sitting behind Brandon and Joey and Melissa.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Like they're sitting at the counter and these two women are sitting at a table behind them. And there's this old lady every time they cut so that like the camera is facing this woman, she does the same exact reaction of like she's pretending to look at
Starting point is 00:35:29 and being like, oh, what a cute baby. Oh, okay. This extra does it like four times. the exact same motion, it's fucking... Maybe her mind is spaghetti. My favorite thing is... Oh, a baby. My favorite thing is Nat, who, like...
Starting point is 00:35:45 And I can't really blame him because almost everybody in this episode for some reason has this reaction. But he finds out that this young woman has a baby. And it's like for the first time he's finding out that Santa Claus doesn't exist. And I'm like, it's been happening. It's been happening for a while now, guys. He's like shocked. like insanely shocked
Starting point is 00:36:05 and it's sort of like a begrudgingly where's the world going type of look real quick well it's also because he thinks that it's Brandon's kid it's also it could be it's none of your fucking business nat make me a fucking make me a goddamn patty melt
Starting point is 00:36:20 maybe you don't go to dinner at work and be served by your boss yeah that's a really good point because like you that's you know what honestly like that's what fucking McDonald's is for like if you ever have to eat inside a McDonald's, God help you.
Starting point is 00:36:38 That's where the screaming children go. You know what I mean? That's where you take kids and babies. Just throw that baby in the ball pit and see if it fucking sinks or swims. Got a real Steve Sanders on our hands here. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Go make a man or a woman out of you. Here. By the way, that baby was played by no less than four children. Two sets of twins, it seems like. Nice. Well, Can I ask you what they're up to today? Oh, that's a good question.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I'll look them all up. Were they on the Chris Isaac show? I think this is all one and done. Prediction nothing. Yeah, one and done. One and done for Kelsey Clark and Brianna Clark. Now let's see what Daniel Van Duser and William Van Duser are up to. That sounds like the name of the twins that played baby Oscar and Ghostbusters, too.
Starting point is 00:37:25 They are not. They wish they had that money. Yeah, that's nothing. One and done on everybody. Fucking lazy babies, man. Of the San Demas Van Dusers? what are they doing today you think that's a great question i mean anything i imagine any any job yeah i don't know um do they're still babies yes definitely do you think they're still babies yes definitely do you think
Starting point is 00:37:46 there's okay so uh mini bio on i mdb william vanduzer is an actor from beverly hills then oh 2 and 9090 trivia twin brother of daniel vanduzer nice let me look up daniel van duser's mini biore it'd be cool if it just randomly list like their spouse and shit okay uh danio madduzor is an actor Drew Burrell's not a 2-0-190. Twin trivia, twin brother of William Vend. Oh, nice. Yeah, I mean, this scene kind of comes to nothing. Nat is just like, a baby, and my blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:38:13 And she kind of talks about her, the difficult decision of, like, not letting society tell her what's going to happen with the baby. It's kind of this weird thing, like, where it's, it's weird because it's like, it's rebellious to not have the abortion question mark. Yeah. You know what I mean? You know? Yeah. It's also weird because this is the very, this is the most casual I've ever heard this tossed out ever in any sort of media is Brandon is like, you know what I mean? Why didn't
Starting point is 00:38:41 you have an abortion? You're like, Jesus Christ, man, how about just like a little tact? Also, the kid is right there. I've known you for a day. Yeah. So I don't know, Brandon, why didn't I have the abortion? Hey, so what TV shows do you like? Like, how about, let's fucking lighten it up a little bit. I hope that's what he says to every, like, young woman he sees with a baby. So, uh, why did you have the abortion? It's going on.
Starting point is 00:39:12 She's talking about how she's got this. She's excited because she's got a big Harvard interview with Harvard. Tomorrow it's her dream and come true, blah, blah, blah. The next day, uh-oh, she, uh, her babysitter cancels on her. So she and her parents are out of town. She just dumps this kid at Brandon Walsh's house with no. no instruction, by the way. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of a, like,
Starting point is 00:39:35 Brandon just gets done telling Jim and Carol that he's dating a woman that has a kid. Right. And the Carol's disgusted. Jim's like, well, they say something about like, oh, it's hard having a kid. And Jim's like, it's hard enough for me now. Jesus cry.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Your name's Carol, not Cindy? Oh, so Carol, I'm sorry. Carol Potter is the name of the actress. Cindy Walsh. Cindy and Jim. But yeah, she just comes in. And like, you know, I've been privy to these baby emergencies.
Starting point is 00:40:01 before like the babysitter canceled you know my mom would help out or you know whatever it is but like there's always some sort of like you know he just had his diaper changed oh he needs to eat it this time there's nothing it's like good luck motherfucker there was a quick line that he gets
Starting point is 00:40:17 his bottle at 11 oh okay so there was some extra instruction there but like you don't know if this guy could change a fucking diaper which he cannot he absolutely cannot and there's first of all first of all first of all I don't know how many of us among this group have tried to change
Starting point is 00:40:32 a diaper before. I have and failed horribly. Yeah, I am not. Not an easy thing. You can't eyeball that. I haven't have succeeded. Oh, wow. Well, whoopity-D. I didn't bring it up. Look, Johnny diaper over here. If the opportunity comes up, I'm just going to take
Starting point is 00:40:49 out the garden hose and spray him down. That's a good idea. I think that's good. You got the baby in one hand, the hose handle in the other. The weirder thing is that, so Brendan's telling Jim and Cindy that he's dating a woman who has a young child. And the first
Starting point is 00:41:04 it's like the thing he says right before the fucking doorbell rings is if I never see that kid again, it would be too soon. Did the baby beat you up? What the fuck happened? Thank you Chris. It's a weird line if I ever see that kid again it'll be too soon. I'm going to
Starting point is 00:41:20 kick that kid's ass. What are you doing here, baby? Hey baby. I thought I told you never to come back to the peach pit. Of all the gin joints in the world the baby walked into mine it's just he's at the peach pit he's having a drink and like
Starting point is 00:41:36 the door the little door jingle comes because somebody's walking in it's like Nat I'm not turning around is there a fucking baby behind me oh quick shot of like the little feet like just showing the feet with the little shoes oh dude I would love it he fucking takes a long
Starting point is 00:41:52 swing of whiskey and slams the glass down and still without turning around goes what took you so Hey Nat, here's 200 bucks for the damages. What damages, Brandon? You'll see. Oh, Joey Seltzer. That's a name
Starting point is 00:42:09 I haven't heard in a long time. You're gonna get what's your Seltzer. But no, none of that happens. Oh, unfortunately. But, so yeah, like, she just drops them off because this Harvard thing
Starting point is 00:42:24 is so important to her, blah, blah, blah. Oh, I do, I just, I want to point out another clueless Brandon line. I'm not trying to hold this up here too much. But she goes, Brandon, my babysitter canceled and my Harvard interview is in a half an hour. And he goes, oh man, what are you going to do? And she's got the baby there, dude.
Starting point is 00:42:44 It's the baby, the fucking bassinet with all the supplies in it. Okay, do you need me to drive you somewhere? This whole thing is, I mean, he could have just driven her there and like hung out in the car with the baby. I just had that thought, too, actually. Yeah, good call. Like, yeah, just you guys go to the park or something while she goes, you know? Her fucking deal with this Harvard interview is stupid as shit, too,
Starting point is 00:43:08 because it's like she's stressing about it so much, and she goes and she thinks she didn't do well. But it turns out she's a fucking legacy. Like, dude, you can have an F and get in. Exactly. Looking at this house, you've got to be just fine. So she storms off. And then he's like, oh, mom, could you help me raise this?
Starting point is 00:43:28 child. She's like, I can't, Brendan, bye. Adios. So then Kelly, but meanwhile, the skydiving subplot is just not even worth the air. No, it's, it's really not except for a fucking solid Jim Walsh line when they win the contest. Like, they get, Brenda calls in, they get all the songs right. And they start like, you know, cheering and screaming and stuff. And you just cut downstairs and it's Jim Walsh going, did I hear screams? that's what that's what the dad in cold blood said oh my god um yeah but like they they wind up going to these lessons
Starting point is 00:44:09 there's a cute uh instructor named Don hot Don hot dot oh dude fucking Don is jacked dude you see this guy Don could have been a candidate for Aquaman is a motherfucker looks like Colossus yes he's a tall drink of water too We get a fantasy sequence
Starting point is 00:44:28 with him as like a Captain America as figure or like they're like about to jump into Nazi occupied France with Brenda it is so stupid man I cannot wait to be rid of these things if the Walsh twins went to World War II and I'm sorry we'd be speaking German
Starting point is 00:44:47 today words out of my mouth Eric it's kind of great because like it's just like you know it just tells you what's wrong in this episode because never is it a thing where because like Brenda's like ooh Don and Kelly's like ooh Don and Kelly
Starting point is 00:45:03 never goes to Brendan like you have a boyfriend back off you know what I mean like oh you're totally right I didn't even think about that never happens never comes up they want so Kelly's picking up Brenda to go skydiving and Steve is showing up because they're going to watch the Laker game
Starting point is 00:45:19 at his house and hang out but Brandon's got this baby and they're like oh cute baby blah blah blah blah yada brandon is trying get Brenda to stay, but she's got this, you know, her skydiving appointment. She just can't do it. You can't break it, dude. I mean, she, she's a person who keeps appointments. To Steve's credit, he hangs out and helps with the baby a little bit, and he's got a cool sweater in this, in this segment. He does. We're trying to redeem Steve very slowly here.
Starting point is 00:45:46 No, he does some nice stuff with the baby. He reads him to turn her diary. Oh. And that, my little son, is how you make a Molotov cocktail. That's right. Joey Shots you. That's right. Joey's answer. A lot of play for... I love what a movie when a piece of media references a movie and then rips off all of its bits,
Starting point is 00:46:09 which is just sort of like, oh, we should rent three men and a baby. That shows you had to change a diaper. And then they're like, oh, we can't do it. Now we're just those guys doing that thing. Yeah, we turned into the guys. Which one of you is the goot? I think Steve's... I think Steve's the goot.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Yeah, I think Steve Sanders is the goot also. That's totally right. No, well, there's no third person. So I guess the other person has to be a combo of Ted Danson and what's his case? Well, Jim Walsh could be Ted Dancing because he's not fucking there. They also got similar chest hair too. Or the third person's the ghost from the legendary apartment. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:46:45 I do love Steve Sanders on the phone with the video store looking for a copy of three men and a baby. And it was like two things like real nostalgia busters right here. One, remember just like, oh, like coming over to watch the game. like what a quaint thing that is being able to watch live sports and then also like yeah calling the video store definitely did this all the time just like oh yeah you you got fucking terminator two in or what like i don't want to go down there i got my parents to drive me and terminator two is not on the shelf you feel me video store really i i've never called a rental store i i was always just a wild card i'll go in there i'll find something i was
Starting point is 00:47:24 There's a lot of times I was looking for particular movies that they didn't have new, you know, even sometimes they're out of new releases. But then I would be like, I will find something else in this mecca of culture. See, you guys had it right because I would just, we would go to multiple video stores sometimes looking for movies. I would call, I would call quite a bit. Not all the time, but like for new releases and stuff that I really wanted. I remember very specifically, I was at my dad's house. and it was like a Wednesday night and I think Ninja Turtles
Starting point is 00:47:55 for the video game or Turtles in Time the video game was out and I wanted to rent it and I kept calling Blockbuster because the guy was like yeah it's due back any minute and I wanted to get
Starting point is 00:48:07 like when he dropped me off at night I wanted to be able to take a little and he was like ha it's you again how yet no Ninja Turtles still not here buddy well then don't tell a kid
Starting point is 00:48:19 that it's going to be back any minute. Exactly. I remember, I called like 40 fucking times. It's ridiculous. Kid, it's a turn of phrase. What the fuck do you want? See where I'm working? The fuck's wrong with you.
Starting point is 00:48:32 The fuck is wrong with you. The bell rings in Blockbuster. Is that that fucking kid who's looking for ninja turtles? Yeah, the one with the orange tape. Yeah, it's in. Come and get it, motherfucker. yeah when it's here i'm gonna fucking break it how about that then nobody gets to play it
Starting point is 00:48:57 you know whatever a lot of comical baby business you know this is just all as rote as anything could be yeah we don't know how to fucking we put like four diapers on the kid the kid sprays brando with some fucking disgusting food and also i love it i you know credit to steve sanders he's he's there but it's like oh hey brandon the game's not he's like oh no the cable's out Steve's like, bye. Yeah, and you know what?
Starting point is 00:49:22 Honestly, Steve Sanders kind of well within your right here. Fair point. You came over for this. You can't do it. He's like, oh, well, just watch it by. I'm like, well, I can't leave the baby. He's like, well, I mean, see you later, dude. Yeah, not helping your friends of being a piece of shit is in line with everything else, Steve Sanders has presented so far.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Hey, he helped out, man. He didn't fucking sign on for babysitting. He taped seven of those fucking diapers around the baby. You're right. So Melissa comes back and she's in a mood because The thing went terrible. The guy at Harvard was a conservative jerk question mark who was against babies in general.
Starting point is 00:49:56 I think it's the idea of like you're going to do Harvard dirty by coming here with your baby and then you're going to fail out. Yeah, you're not going to be able to handle the workload because Harvard is so tough. They keep saying. It's very important, Eric, to be at Harvard. All those Ivy League, man. It's phony.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Where else are you going to properly learn to drink blood? Exactly. I mean, maybe that's the whole thing. Like, her parents are always gone because they're doing like devil's ceremonies and they're like, no, you must get into skull and bones. I mean, how else am I going to be a fucking co-host on a weekend update and be the head writer on Saturday Night Line
Starting point is 00:50:32 if I haven't gone to Harvard? It's a really good point. Melissa, our little grandbaby might be sacrificed this year. Do you believe it? Little Joey could be the one that brings back the antichrist. I think that's why they made her keep the baby. It makes sense. For blood for Malachi.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Oh, for sacrifice. Yes, of course, yeah. For Malachi throne, dude. I think this is why Bush became precedent is they killed Joey Seltzer on a fucking altar. Oh, my God. All right, we're going to get that little Joey Seltzer. Crack his skull open. That's right, Barr.
Starting point is 00:51:06 I'm the high priest of Satan. Bobby, can I kill a baby? Not yet, Jr. told you. You got to wait for the weekend now. we're going out to the we're going out to main we're going out to kennibunk port going to kill a baby um uh so like she kind of like storms off and brand is like oh no um the next day he like uh he wants to make things right with her uh oh by the way brenda's like oh brandon kelly do so actually he goes to make things right with her brend and kelly do skydive it's a fun scene i suppose also
Starting point is 00:51:44 not as a man that's as a man that's as a youth who spent a lot of time in skydiving academies you do not. We call them ranchers. We do call them ranches. But you never skydived, right? I never have. But your first skydive never is just you just jumping out of a plane. You've got someone strapped to your back. No, but here's the thing that's fucking weird though, because like maybe they were getting to tandem things, maybe not. You're probably right. But also what's weird. And no one really
Starting point is 00:52:11 acknowledges what happens here, but the two of them literally fall out of the plane. Well, they're horsing around. Yeah, they're horsing off right at the fucking, and I was like, Don, you can't let these people just walk up to the plane door like that and gaze out at the ground, dude. F-plus for Don's skydiving again.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Two 17-year-old girls. I would never do it. I would never do. The only way I'm going to jumping out of a plane if I was like shot by Harrison Ford. It was you. I never would either, dude. I got better ways to fucking end it all. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:52:44 I've always been curious, obviously, just because of the rush. It's in your blood, dude. It is in my blood, actually. But I do think it is just funny, like, A, I don't even know if 17-year-old girls can skydive, B. Don's just like, all right, girls, see you at the bottom.
Starting point is 00:52:58 It's like, dude, this place is going to close. That's a good point. You'd think they'd need, like, at least a permission slip of some. I don't know. Like, the parents would have to be involved. Well, the radio station should have been like, oh, wait, you're how old? Yeah, you can't do this.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Here's a t-shirt. Nope, nope, no, this is done. on here, and I'm telling you, all you have to do is watch a video and follow on a mat, and you're ready to go. That's all it is. That's his whole fucking school. What is it? Yeah, you get him hooked via the radio, and then eventually some cash
Starting point is 00:53:29 will come my way. Looks like the spiders caught himself a couple of flies. So a couple of teenage girls die for Tony to get his riches. Who cares? Whatever. So, Brandon goes back to Melissa and Melissa's like can we just go for a drive and they do and like it's just sort of like they're just going on to drive and she's like saying like wouldn't it be something if we like never went back and he's like what do you mean like you just doesn't get it she is ever so carefully dialing up the crazy right here yes she's like hey Brandon never find yourself driving down the street and you just think about jerking the wheel into the next turn you see
Starting point is 00:54:12 like that one right there do it Brandon take that turn it's great wouldn't it be so fucking sexy if I abandoned my baby I feel for a minute there is kind of sexy they make it kind of sexy there for a moment well dude because Kevin like she
Starting point is 00:54:28 she kind of like moves over while he's driving down the road and whatnot and I was like say he goes he goes but I'm driving and she goes then pull over I mean that's like whoa okay that's the thing you know this lady's down the clown she's clown before, brother.
Starting point is 00:54:44 She's with clown. She's birthed clown. She has indeed clowned before. He drops her off. But she winds up coming back to his house because her parents are furious because she wound up they had something to do that night and she took too long, yada, yada, yada.
Starting point is 00:55:02 She's like ready to give up the baby and like she has a nice little scene with Cindy where Cindy, of course, the world's greatest mother who ever fucking lived is just like, oh, you know, it's beautiful. you know she's a good harder she's like yes but more rewarding
Starting point is 00:55:16 as well you get to see them achieve they turn into weird little one turns into a total fucking loser that you hate the other one is a little asshole that thinks he knows everything it's going to be great for you and you definitely have to have more than one kid eventually so then you can tell one
Starting point is 00:55:31 that the other is the favorite and what you want to have is a connecting bathroom so then we do get to see into that bathroom more today and I enjoyed seeing that the shower even has like the arch. There's a lot of arches in this house. I wish my bathroom was that big, man.
Starting point is 00:55:48 I need some room. But whatever. So she winds up not leaving the baby. The last scene is her and Brandon at school back where the tree. And she's like, hey, I'm going to take some time off and like, you know, kind of maybe finish over the next year and a half.
Starting point is 00:56:04 He's like, what about Harvard? She's like, well, it'll be there when I'm ready. It's like because I'm rich and, you know, I'm a legacy anyway. It's got to be fine. and don't worry about it. Yeah, totally. Actually, I realized I totally forgot the word legacy entirely.
Starting point is 00:56:18 As soon as I remembered that, I just stopped sweating it all together. Yeah, while studying, I was reading the dictionary, and I got to the L's and, whoa, what do you know? I'm fine. And he's like, oh, wow. Hey, so you want to get dinner on Friday? You know, I think I just need to hang out with Joey for a while, which means get the fuck out of here, you weirdo. Yeah. Well, I think it's also like, dude, I was down to class.
Starting point is 00:56:41 you weren't you missed your chance goodbye it's also the teleplay signing this character's fucking death certificate and he's like oh and as we said he's like well I get visitation right she's like absolutely oh I'll never see you again
Starting point is 00:57:00 what a shitty joke like you're not the father and then you're making like a shitty like separation divorce joke like what is the root of that fucking joke it's it's nasty and also like, what is Frank Seltzer's deal? Does he have visitation rights? Hey, I'll tell you what, Brendan, you go right ahead, buddy. You go ahead and visit that baby. I don't give them. Look. Yeah, oh yeah, you know what? You can call them little Joey Walsh for all I care.
Starting point is 00:57:28 He will never get to silcer millions. I'll tell you that much. My great grandpap, he learned how to carbonate water, and we're doing it till this day. we beat polar we beat Canada dry and we'll beat you Brendan but that's the end of this really stupid episode very light on content this week
Starting point is 00:57:54 Eric Siska what are you feeling this week any parting shots? I really dislike this episode and I understand the urge to do like a cautionary tale slash abortion debate episode but I feel like this was the wrong way package it and i hated uh almost every moment of it which is rare because this is usually the
Starting point is 00:58:13 show that i'm more into on this whole melro experience but i'm still excited for next week because i got to get i got to look forward to something folks well you will it's a slumber party episode uh nice uh and chris cavin absolutely awful experience yeah for next week yeah this one was not good and you know it's a television show so there's going to be plenty that are terrible but just like the way you know you go about this show sometimes structurally is quite annoying because like i don't know wouldn't it been fun if like both kelly and brenda were really sweating it about this whole skydiving thing and then like the rest of the gang was like no we'll go with you in support of that and then other characters could be on the show i'm referencing
Starting point is 00:59:08 Dylan. Well, I think what you're doing right now is kind of doing a, you know, what if Donna was there to give them support? I am. That's how fucking terrible this episode is. What if Donna was in it, says Andrew Jupin, and not the Ghost of Aaron Spelling? By the way,
Starting point is 00:59:24 I'm shocked Brenda actually went through with it. Yeah. I guess it's showing you that she's got some devil make hair in her, possibly. Again, they both accidentally fell out of the plane. It doesn't count. But that's why Dylan would was not invited
Starting point is 00:59:38 because he would know this was a fraud right out. Oh, yeah. You're just falling on mats? Then you're supposed to jump out of a plane? That's bullshit, man.
Starting point is 00:59:48 I don't know, my old girlfriend was murdered by that skydiving ranch. Oh my God. And it's Don, the exact same instructor she had. Yeah, so that's kind of, yeah, my parting shot
Starting point is 01:00:03 is very similar to everybody else as this episode is terrible. I think it's the worst. one we've done of Beverly Llanituno thus far, because it's just so far from anything I could give a shit about. No characters learn anything that I care about. It's just a lot of retail on this character that just has a baby and it's fine. You know, it is what it is.
Starting point is 01:00:23 We're going to get to some more fun stuff next week. A lot of fun stuff on both the main feed here and the Patreon feed. We just on Friday on Patreon dropped our cat cemetery, which is a sinkable commentary for the movie 2019. film cats. Oh, yeah. That is a fucking loaded commentary insofar as we are loaded.

Great month on the main feed as the summer blockbuster extravaganza continues tomorrow with The Mummy. oh man the stephen somers classic it was a great episode as i recall had a lot of fun on it and also put your pitchforks down a lot of recommendations at the end of that episode okay everybody we're all having fun here on the we hate movies feed there you go it's okay to like a movie and by the way it's okay to have a baby it is very okay to have a baby i do want to one more time remind everybody that any and all merch proceeds will be going to charities uh fighting for racial
Starting point is 01:01:32 justice and ending police brutality, including the Black Lives Matter global network, and a ton of other things via an act blue link that splits them out between 10 or 11 different organizations.
