Though?
Speaker 1About this episode?
Was I do you think I should have been excited?
Speaker 2So we've determined at this point that you were Pregger's yes, right, So I gotta say I have a lot to say about that coming up.
And I had my eyeball on my belly.
Speaker 1You did.
I only thought about it for one second at the very very end.
Speaker 2Well, Amy said we had to get on bump watch, so I was doing my job.
Aka, I wasn't that interested in this episode.
Speaker 1More interested in watching the bump.
Okay, when did you see it?
Speaker 2I didn't see it.
Speaker 1Oh well there you go.
There you go, no pump yet, but I.
Speaker 2Saw them trying to maybe hide something.
But then you want to dress on and you had nothing there.
Speaker 1So I don't know.
It's definitely coming.
Speaker 2It's coming, so look for it.
Speaker 1You can't stop it.
Speaker 2I mean, it's there.
Was fall now, but we're we were still on track.
Speaker 1Yeah, now we're this is spring nope, yeap aired in April.
Okay, so let's let's do this right.
Episode twenty four, Spring Breakdown aired April second, nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 2Synopsis.
Tracy tags along to Hong Kong for spring break, but Jim can see right through Brandon's phony baloney.
Kelly drowns her sorrows in diy and drinking.
Valerie is exposed but wiggles her way into Rob's heart and his wallet, while Donna wants her d at home, but Felice's bedside manner gets in the way.
Speaker 1Directed by Charles Correll, Written by Greg plage Man and John Eisendrath.
I feel bad.
Speaker 2I don't remember hella play, that's what they are calling it.
Speaker 1So we're just giving him little shadow teleplane.
Speaker 2Jen, what does that mean exactly?
So he it was his story idea, but John wrote it.
I bet it was his story idea.
Speaker 1And then yeah, John came in to find you, tune it or manipulate it into what he wanted.
Speaker 2Gotcha, gotcha?
Well, your sexy boyfriend's back.
Speaker 1My boyfriend Jim Walsh, Oh my god, hows no suspenders?
Speaker 2Sorry, my friend?
Speaker 1But all right, he wasn't wearing suspenders.
But I was really happy to see him.
Speaker 2I was happy to see him too.
It made me okay, so can we talk about that storyline?
First, Brandon and Tracy his plus one go to visit Jim.
No Cindy because she's in London visiting Brenda for spring break.
Speaker 1She's in London visiting Brenda.
Speaker 2First of all because Brenda has Mono.
Speaker 1Right, But they just didn't want to pay for two guest stars.
Speaker 2I know it made me say, maybe.
Speaker 1She wasn't available.
Okay, I don't know, because this was when wasn't this when Carol was getting like her doctorate or something wasn't there but like she was going back to school and back to work.
I'm pretty sure, but who knows.
I bet she would have come if she had the opportunity.
Speaker 2I know it did make me sad seeing Jim and Brandon.
Speaker 1Together though, I know, and it felt like I loved it, But I also it also made me sad.
Speaker 2Because now they're friends as your friend one more time as your friend as.
Speaker 1Your friend, they're not friends, I know.
Speaker 2I guess when your kids at that age, you got to say.
Speaker 1It did feel good though, like that comfortability you could feel it with him and his dad.
Speaker 2For sure, and Jim knows that you're the one.
Kelly's the one.
Speaker 1How does he know?
Speaker 2I don't know, Moms and Dad's always known that's true.
Speaker 1Yeah, uh Jim.
Yeah.
It goes so far as to ask Brandon, uh, if he's over Kelly and he said, oh, am I my exsess keeper.
Speaker 2Gotta be honest.
I didn't love the way that Brandon's character was written this episode.
Yeah, I don't know.
He's always so likable, and I felt like, I mean, he says like Tercy cares about him, he cares a little bit less than that.
But it made me feel sad the way he's treating her.
Speaker 1I know, I'm like, why are you stringing this girl like this?
Poor I'm sorry to say, but kind of pathetic, like pick me, pick me like girl, and it's really upsetting me.
Speaker 2I agree, I agree, And I just felt like, I don't know.
He could have waited and he didn't tell her.
Jim says, you gotta tell her.
He's waiting till they came back from Hong Kong.
But he's not very kind to her, and she's like, are you just stringing me along to an?
Another one comes along and he's like no, no, but he's almost barking at her.
Speaker 1Because he knows another one's not coming along right.
Speaker 2He's not lying, it's you right by.
Speaker 1Somebody coming back.
But it was weird also that she went back and bought that book because it's strung it struck a chord in her.
I wouldn't buy that book if it was about my love torn between two women.
I'd be like, get that book away from me.
I don't want to ever see it again.
Speaker 2What do you think she's ultimately going to do with that book?
Speaker 1Put it under her pillow?
I don't know.
Like this girl, I'm not sure.
I don't get her.
I don't get her.
It makes me really sad to see her not know her worth and not recognize that she's being strung along.
She knows it, she does, but she's not standing up for herself at all, and that's upsetting well.
Speaker 2I feel like in that scene, perhaps if it had been written differently, she would have stood.
Speaker 1Up for herself, that it would have been there.
Speaker 2I really had no choice in the writing of what to do, I guess, and.
Speaker 1But as it's written, it makes me bummed out.
Speaker 2Definitely, because when she hugs him, I don't know or maybe it could have been played a little differently.
I don't know.
When she hugs him, she seems to think from what I saw that it is going to work out.
Speaker 1Yep, that look of hopeful on her face and like, but his.
Speaker 2Words were so yeah, yeah, this is Scott.
Speaker 1She needs to read between these lines.
Speaker 2It's a long flight home.
Speaker 1By the way, ooh, do you know something?
Maybe not, something happened on the plane?
Speaker 2What we don't tell me?
Okay, keep giving me him.
Speaker 1No, you just said it's a long flight home.
So I'm like, wait, what happens on the plane?
Speaker 2I thought your journey to dark my memory.
I'm like, wait, no, I'm asking you to jar my memory.
No, nothing, I don't think anything.
Okay, if this show is going the way it's been going this season so far, we will start next week's episode and they'll be home.
Yeah, so no mention that plane ride.
Speaker 1That's true.
But what if you did go on like a whatever.
How many hours is that flight?
Eighteen?
Speaker 2Yeah?
I thought he said fourteen hours, but it's more or fourteen different times.
Speaker 1But what if you did break up with a guy on an airplane you had to sit with him for the next fourteen hours?
Speaker 2I had an assistant once break up with me on an airplane and then I had to sit next to her for another five hours.
Speaker 1Wait, how'd I go?
Speaker 2You know me?
I was scared to say anything.
I was like and it was a really bumpy flight, and I was really scared.
And you know, I would be holding if you're right there, like holding on to you, and I couldn't turn and hold on door.
I just had to like hold myself and be.
Speaker 1Like, it's gonna be okay, It's gonna be okay, hold myself.
I can picture it.
But that would be rough.
That would be rough.
So we know that he's not over Kelly, and we know for sure that Kelly's not over him because she is pine and hard in this episode, Like finally it's she's realizing it.
Speaker 2I like that you said pining hard, which ironically you're doing all this hard de why on this chair?
Speaker 1Oh my god?
Which is so what I would do if you had to distract yourself from thinking about your problems.
I do pretty much every day, actually start a new project, like, oh, I'm gonna sand this ceramic pot down and repaint it.
That's what's happening today.
Actually go f.
Speaker 2That part of the storyline, very on point with you in real life.
The dry I was totally into that.
Then we go to the after Steve sits on and.
Speaker 1I like that part.
And then they go to the party and she gets tips a.
First of all, she's a bosh like the whole time, Like I was kind of like, whoa, Kelly, relaxed a little because you're kind of embarrassing me.
Speaker 2I thought she was great.
Speaker 1I don't know, she was just she was like in Your Dreams pal like I like that barthough, yeah.
Speaker 2Me too.
That was still likable even when she was bitter throughout the party.
And we're talking about the after dark party that Valerie is throwing beer, naked ladies are playing and it's for Rob's new movie.
She talked to me because she took money.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Uh So who is the boy you were with the whole time?
Speaker 1How do I know?
Speaker 2I don't know there, Let's look him up.
Speaker 1Scott Gurney, that's his name, the actor that played Pete.
Speaker 2I thought he was going to come in for that one beat and that in Your Dreams, but like he last the entire episode.
Speaker 1She didn't find anything better to focus on, so she wouldn't have to Pete Pete Scott.
Sorry, yeah, I thought it was pretty funny though.
When she was like, Claire's like, you don't even know him, she goes, yes, I do.
As she walks over, she's like, what's your name?
By the way, I thought that was funny, and then she loses her ring and loses her at the same time.
Speaker 2Okay, so yeah, that was the whole reason.
That was the whole setup for having Scott.
I found Scott Gurney?
Speaker 1Where'd you find him?
Speaker 2Right here?
Speaker 1What's up to?
Speaker 2Well?
He's an American executive producer, writer, director, actor, model, and entrepreneur.
Created several television series and documentaries.
Speaker 1Ooh, that's crazy.
That's a lot of hyphenates.
Speaker 2He was in a movie in two thousand and one called The Fluffer?
Do you want fluffer is?
Speaker 1Unfortunately I learned what a fluffer is on the set of nine two one.
Oh yeah, this is where I learned all the things that I couldn't have learned.
Speaker 2Oh my gosh.
Do you remember the boys used to be like very into Maybe this is the nineties thing.
They were just learning the terms of different sexual things.
Everything had like a name for it.
Speaker 1What do you mean?
I?
Speaker 2Oh, like I don't know, like I just remember them talking and they'd be like, what's the different.
They'd all be laughing and we're just kind of standing there like ooh, it's uncomfortable.
And they'd be like it's called the dirty Sanchas.
Do you remember things like that?
You do?
Speaker 1Yeah?
I do, unfortunately, yeah.
Speaker 2Or they say to us like have you ever done this?
And you're like trying to be cool and you're like, I don't know what is it?
And then they take your like no, no, no, I've never done that.
Speaker 1I've ever done that.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Oh, there's so many things I want to unlearn from that life.
But it's so funny you say that, because just the other like two days ago, I was in the car with Dave and he said something and I made like a I said, like a zinger come back like something totally not like me, like kind of like dude like and he was like, did you learn that on the set in the nineties?
And I was like, oh, probably, I wish I could ever thought it was though it was something like yeah that's what she said or something, you know, like stupid.
Speaker 2Like right, oh my gosh.
Yeah.
They would just teach us like hundreds of different things, and they thought it was so funny all these terms of different acts.
Anyway, Yeah, really, okay.
Speaker 1So yeah, Kelly's not over Brandon either.
I like the sweet scene with Steve me too.
They have good sweet scenes together, they really do.
And I thought he was really good in that scene.
Yeah, it was, I just too felt very natch.
Speaker 2So wait, how much did we estimate that that ring probably cost originally when Brandon bought it?
Speaker 1We did that, we broke it down.
Speaker 2I don't know.
Amy always does that, so I feel like she might have said it was like thirty thousand or something.
Speaker 1Oh come on, wait, First of all, where's Amy?
We started without her?
Hold on Amy?
Speaker 2Wait?
Speaker 1Imagine we're like, oh my god, No, I'm just kidding.
Amy's taking care of something right now.
She might pop in.
She might not, So if you are missing her, I'm sorry.
We're sorry.
It's just us.
Speaker 2But I worry though.
If she were here right now, she would really say that the show's jumping some sharks here.
Speaker 1Oh my god.
We have to just stop letting her say that.
Speaker 2I mean, why do you think it's convincing us?
Then?
Speaker 1Yes, because if you listen to her narrative, then you have to just have our own, like we can't be persuaded by this all this shark jumping talk.
Okay, I don't feel like it's jumping any sharks.
Speaker 2No, I'm not.
I'm not loving the episodes, the last three.
There's moments I love.
I don't know.
You're right, You're right, Okay.
So Kelly bought it back.
Speaker 1Yeah that's a lot.
Oh, she bought it from a pond store.
So it was like, you know, like a slice of the portion of the amount that it was originally.
But I don't think it.
There's no chance that Brandon bought his girlfriend a thirty thousand dollars engagement ring, is there?
Speaker 2No, No, it's ridiculous in the nineties.
Maybe I have that wrong.
Speaker 1I would go more three thousand.
Speaker 2Really, it's okay, fine, Yeah, depending on the cut.
I don't know anything about diamonds.
Speaker 1It might be like a grade.
You know how they grade diamonds.
Yeah, this is like a a D minus.
Maybe he got a good deal on it, but it doesn't matter.
It's the sentiment, I know.
Speaker 2Okay, So it's how only do you think?
Just as fans here, what's coming up is he's going to go back to try to get it back and they're gonna be like someone bought.
Speaker 1It, oh my, and then he's gonna like, oh, it's a sign I shouldn't go back together with her.
This is one one way it could go.
I don't know, honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 2I really liked it around your neck.
I didn't really No, did you feel strangled by it?
Speaker 1I don't love a ring on a chain personally, but you know what, now that I'm thinking about it, it kind of works.
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1It's just it's hard for me because my mom wears her my Dad's ring around her neck.
Okay, I don't love it.
I don't know why, but she loves it, and that's all that matters for sure.
Speaker 2So okay, So but she just I feel like she just dropped it in that box though, like.
Speaker 1You, I wanted to see.
They didn't have like coverage of her face.
M They just had like weird over the shoulder because she was facing inside the closet.
Maybe I don't know, but it was a little weird.
She just tossed it in there.
Speaker 2You know, you probably weren't the only one that noticed that, and they were like, oh, gikes, we don't have that coverage and then they're.
Speaker 1All just like me, oh god, that's.
Speaker 2You're right, that's really important coverage to have.
Is your reaction putting it away in a box?
Speaker 1Yeah, heads were rolling.
They were like, you didn't get the.
Speaker 2Shot, oh man, But she didn't put in anything like God forbid if anyone to come in, like maybe if a door wasn't locked, like on Rob Andrew's house that they just walk out of and don't lock a door.
You know you saw that.
Speaker 1Yeah, you know, yeah, And I don't think he's in the best neighborhood of La.
Speaker 2Well, we determined that house is an Eagle Rock correct.
Speaker 1Did you go rocks pretty good?
Speaker 2Yeah, so, which is where we filmed a lot of our stuff.
So that house is still standing.
Sorry, we're we done with your storyline.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, we're so done.
Speaker 2Going to val and Rob Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1I was happy to see him in a tank top.
I was happy to see him without a shirt on.
I was just happy to see him.
Honestly, he was a.
Speaker 2Perk in this episode.
Just gonna be honest.
Speaker 1He really felt like they got along well, I know, like I felt like there might be a little chemistry adjacent.
I don't know.
Speaker 2She was real wrapped up in that sheet.
Speaker 1Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2So people immediately get it.
I know, I felt like she was tripping on it a little bit.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was who gets your naked right and you get out of bed, but you're perfectly wrapped up like a burrito in the sheet like what There must have been a lot of tossing and turned into make that happen, but a lot of rolling around.
Speaker 2Maybe there's other ways to do it, but yes, they would always do that.
Have you wrapped yourself and it just makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 1No sense.
Yeah, but it's one way to shoot a scene where you're supposed to be naked.
Speaker 2Yep.
Speaker 1It always looks fake.
I don't know, it always looks fake.
Speaker 2I mean she could have just gotten up and trailed it behind it.
I don't know.
Yeah, have you ever done that like the scene?
Speaker 1No, in real life?
Have you ever been like.
Speaker 2Take someone's sheet or my own nervous to get stand up the bath and yeah, of course of course.
But I guess I never thought there was a way unless you just rip the whole shit off the bed and wrap it around and walk to go to the bathroom or go to the door.
I don't know.
What do boys do.
They have it so much easier.
Speaker 1They just get out of bed naked.
They don't care.
Speaker 2And I feel like we're a little bit kinder about it because we know, like, oh, maybe that's weird, or you could be uncomfortable about, you know, being naked in front of me, So you don't look down, like you don't look up.
I mean you kind of like look down.
But a man, if you get out of bed, no matter what, they always stare right at you.
Well hello, and then you're like, don't look, don't look at me.
But they always love.
Speaker 1I thought he was especially attractive thing in the morning.
Speaker 2He looked great, his great dimples.
Speaker 1Yeah, so is he coming back?
Do you know?
Speaker 2Well?
It was four episodes total, and I feel like I feel like he has one more.
Speaker 1Why does he forgive her?
Like I don't know that she's so dirty rotten that she she sent the date off, which I gotta like that part.
Speaker 2So Alan, the manager shows up and has a date for Rob to the after Dark.
First of all, Valerie got him to go to this.
Speaker 1He paid her ten k, right, this is one of the one of the reasons he paid her ten k.
They just basically get him to do whatever his manager wants them to do.
How do you get out of that?
She like, I don't know.
She's like, I want to tell you why I did it, and.
Speaker 2He goes, oh, I bet you do.
But that's it and they walked away.
But even okay, I mean that very nineties sweater.
I liked that that she shows up at his house with a red rose.
But he she doesn't say, but I'm going to give the money back?
Does she?
Ever?
She says, I took the money so I could show.
Speaker 1You that he's a like a yeah creep.
Speaker 2But at no point did she say that show about her such a double standard.
Ees.
Yes, I found who pages Paige Rollin.
She's married to Michael.
Speaker 1Diats what how did you wow?
I feel like And when we talked to Michael deads Yes we also spoke to her, Yes we did, and we saw her.
He did a good job.
Yeah, that's a good memory right there.
Speaker 2Okay, so he fires Alan, Thank god you know who?
Speaker 1Alan reminded me of who Valerie's other boyfriend, the money man, Kenny Kenny.
That seemed kind of like, yeah, okay, didn't trust him.
He had that untrustworthy look.
Speaker 2So well played.
Richard Hurst as Alan Black.
Okay, he looks familiar too.
But so now Valerie is going to be Rob's manager, I mean, the hottest news star in Hollywood.
Speaker 1Yeah, she wait, they said that she's going to be his manager.
Speaker 2She was like, oh, I don't know anything about being manager and he's like, you're all I've got.
Oh god, I'm like hello, I'm sure there's fifty million that are waiting and he must have an agent.
At this point, I would think this isn't going to end.
Well, oh, well, we know it actually one episode left.
Speaker 1So you think that they hired the Bear Naked Ladies to play at the party for Rob because.
Speaker 2Because Jason's friends with them.
Speaker 1As I was singing that the whole time, and I remember thinking like, okay, they're a Canadian band for those of you that don't know.
And Jason was very fond of them as a youngster and was friendly and they became huge, and then they became huge, like in their country, really huge, yes, but in the States not as much.
Speaker 2You think, what's the one song that's so.
Speaker 1Oh, let me let me sing it for you.
Uh, I can't, I can't do it.
I don't even know.
There's three they sang They sang three songs in this episode, by the way, which I felt like I was.
Every time something would happen, they would just cut back to the bear naked ladies still sing.
They sang three songs.
One was called Brian Wilson, does that rang a bell?
Speaker 2One week?
One week?
And that one y that's the big one saying it Laurens saying one week was the big big one.
Speaker 1I don't know how that goes.
Speaker 2We looked at me one week in the marry.
Speaker 1Wow, yeah, that's great.
Learn thanks so much for your help.
Speaker 2Oh, if I had a million, Eastern saying million dollars, that's the one.
Remember we used to seeing now on set.
Nope, I'd buy you a contest if I had a million dollars.
I'd buy you a lot more than that if I had a million dollars.
But remember anyway, they were very excited though.
Speaker 1But they were fun to watch.
I gotta tell you they was infectious because they were jumping around having the best time.
Speaker 2They really were.
I wanted to ask you something, what do we have another storyline?
Speaker 1Oh?
Speaker 2You were saying, how much do you think bal paid to get them on to play there for his party?
Yeah?
Speaker 1I know I just found it was an interesting choice.
Speaker 2Of them, but it got the crowd going.
So did you you like these things?
Did you notice there was like some people were really like jumping around, and then there was one guy that was, like, you know in real life, was like, oh my gosh, I don't like dancing.
Speaker 1They made me stand here apparely.
Speaker 2Moving, and of course I was like, oh, be lying focused on him.
Speaker 1Oh, I don't know it.
I'm just kind of I've got to be honest, I'm kind of tired of having parties at the beat Pad, Like I'd like to s agree.
Speaker 2Where do you want to party then?
Speaker 1And do you know how many I mean you do how many nightclubs or venues there are in La?
Like?
Why do they go into the same one?
I'm bored because.
Speaker 2We built the set we have to use now it's a big ass set.
Like what the heck?
I know what you mean?
Well, we got some dim sum thrown in there that made me happy those homes.
Speaker 1Wait wait, speaking of dim sum, Yeah, what about that the b roll footage of Hong Kong?
Was that real?
Or was that just like Tryina Town downtown La?
Speaker 2I do not know, but I'm gonna guess it was the stock footage, so it had to have been real.
They didn't send a crew downtown in LA to film it.
No, no one went to Hong Kong.
Speaker 1I just felt like they kept showing the same intersection over and over.
Speaker 2Because it would have cost more to keep buying that stock footage.
And they had to pay the Bear Naked Ladies a lot to sing three songs.
Speaker 1How much?
How much is a lot?
Speaker 2I don't know.
You just told me your engagement ring was not thirty thousand dollars, so I do not know how much the Bear Naked Ladies were.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2I'm guessing they did it as a favor for Jason because they were really close friends.
Speaker 1And HI huge opportunit unity.
Speaker 2Yeah, you're right, I'm minimalizing us in the show, the biggest show and the biggest show.
You're right in the world at that moment.
Speaker 1Yeah, I would have been like, i'll play, I'll pay for my hotel, let me be on the show.
Speaker 2Okay, you're right, you're right.
We gave a shout out to Beverly Hilton.
That's where Valerie sent Heather off too.
Yeah, how much do you think she tipped that driver when she said and make sure there's a lot of traffic.
Speaker 1I'm gonna say she gave them twenty bucks.
Speaker 2She gave multiple bills.
Okay, you think it was like fives, Like I just had to count in my head how many fives it would on my fingers.
Actually it would be.
Speaker 1You know what, that's a good hack whenever you have to tip somebody, just tip them in like smaller bills and then waded up so that it seems like a lot for.
Speaker 2Your hand, just like filing and off, like sumbing it off, and then you roll it up and hand it to them and they're like.
Speaker 1Yeah, y and later they get home open it.
Speaker 2It's ten dollars in one.
Speaker 1Yeah.
But back then, I guess I feel like twenty dollars was a big tip, but it was probably more than that.
You're right, it was.
Speaker 2A big, long black limo.
Speaker 1What is going on with tipping?
By the way, what do you mean?
Have you been out in the world.
Speaker 2You know, not often lately?
Wait are you telling me tipping is not I still tip?
Don't you tip?
Oh?
Speaker 1Yeah, that's not the problem now.
Okay, So even when you go to buy a smoothie and you order it the counter and bless their hearts, they make it.
They they are they get the tip thing on the computer.
Before the credit card reader thing or Apple pay, there was never like you just left a tip or some extra cash or in the jar or something, right, But now you can't buy a stick of gum without being asked what you would like to tip?
Would you like to tip?
Now it's eighteen, twenty or twenty five percent?
Speaker 2It's outrageous.
So no longer you're during the tap, which we have on our phones now, and then I feel guilty because they're standing there.
But then if you think about it, like if you're buying a pack of gum, like it's not wild to tip twenty percent.
It's like a dollar or something, you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 1Who's getting the tip for the gum?
Oh?
Speaker 2Oh, you're saying it's something a little fishy that it's going on.
Speaker 1I'm not saying it's fishy because I know with like Dave's Dave's Bar, all the tips are gathered and calculated and everybody splits them.
So the more tips the better for everybody.
Speaker 2Right, But he's on.
So if it were like a convenience store, who knows.
Speaker 1I mean, I don't think I should tip at a convenience store.
I'm sorry, I just don't.
That's the that undermines the whole concept of it being a convenient.
Speaker 2Today.
I'm funny, yeah, punny, pe punny.
Speaker 1I do say, though, I found out my friend told me that she's like a server, waitress, like hostess.
She does all the things.
And she moved to New Mexico and she gets the un no, the servers and the people that get tips.
Maybe are you ready for this?
That's two dollars an hour?
Speaker 2Wait?
Speaker 1What that is the rate for servers at least in the restaurant industry.
That's what she works in.
They get two dollars an hour and then they make tips.
So remember that when you're tipping, and when I'm complaining about tipping, that there are people that they are basically surviving off your tips because the wages are not enough to live by.
Speaker 2So what is minimum wage?
How is that?
Speaker 1Even in LA it's like seventeen something?
Uh currently?
And then but why how could it be two dollars?
Speaker 2Two dollars in New Mexico?
Speaker 1But I Dave was trying to explain to me, it's got something to do with whether you make tips or not.
Oh really, I still think you should just get paid minimum wage and then tips are the cherry on top, Like, I don't know.
Speaker 2What is the minimum wage in New Mexico.
Speaker 1Ooh ooh, good idea.
Speaker 2For a.
Speaker 1Person who gets tipped.
What are you seeing.
Speaker 2Three dollars per hour?
Speaker 1You were, oh my god, what is now?
Speaker 2Well it says the minimum wage in January twenty twenty three is twelve dollars per hour and for tipped employees.
Oh, you're right, and Dave, oh my gosh, is that wild?
So if you're but is it a question when you choose to work there, do you want to get paid, you know, twelve dollars an hour or do you want to get paid three three dollars an hour?
If you're going to take tips?
Speaker 1I mean you probably would have to do the math at that point figure it out, because it sounds like taking the tips you might end up making more just the tip.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Sorry, I was like, girl, I know, I can't you sorry, but I told I was like, girl, you better be doing some dancing, get some get those tips, like give the people what they want.
She's like, I'm trying, believe me.
Speaker 2That sounds horrible, and I feel bad for your friend.
I feel like you would have to disclose to people, which doesn't feel right.
But I'd be like, hey, you know making two to three dollars an hour if you like me, Like, oh, I'd be trying real hard.
Yeah, how do you afford anything?
That's just so, this country is a little whack right now?
Do we have any more storyline?
Sorry?
Speaker 1What about Claire and Steve?
Did they have anything to do?
Speaker 2They were there to serve you.
Speaker 1Yep, they were there for Kelly's storyline.
They had nothing to do.
Donna, Oh, Donna really wants her dad to recover at home.
We didn't talk about that yet, we didn't.
But police wants to send him to rehab.
And for a moment, like I I could put myself in Donna's shoes as the daughter of the man that needs is it in the hospital?
Like I got that's her dad.
But at the same time, I was like, but out, you're a child.
You don't understood.
Yeah, it's not you don't understand what they're dealing with.
And I was at first, I was like, is this when mommy has an affair?
Nope, No, that was season Oh my god, that already happened.
Speaker 2Wow, okay, is another one does she.
Speaker 1I don't know, but I just felt like she was.
I don't know, but it just came from her fear of not being able to take care of him, which is a genuine.
Speaker 2Thing, completely relatable and personal.
David is very helpful in this episode.
Why we is this entire episode in one day because Donna never changes outfits.
Speaker 1No, the bare naked ladies are playing all day, all night.
Speaker 2They kept playing.
It wasn't just three times, that's all we saw in one hour.
Speaker 1Yeah, one really long day in Hong Kong.
Like they get there at the crack of dawn, no jet lag, Nope, they go all day, they go hard, and then Brandon and Dad go to the bar after she's already gone home.
Oh so it's all one day.
Speaker 2Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1I kind of like when episodes all happened one day.
Speaker 2Really well, it didn't feel fast.
I'm gonna tell you that.
I was happy to see Donna and her mom have I was happy to see Donna and her mom have a moment together where I felt like Felice was human.
That was good to see.
I feel like she's going to be headed in the right direction now.
With David, I mean, he's really helping and going above and beyond, looking into all the care products, the equipment that could be put in the house and everything.
I don't know what's gonna happen, but I'm a little nervous because I just saw the name of the next episode.
Speaker 1Oh what is it?
Speaker 2Heaven Sent?
And I'm very nervous.
Speaker 1Wait what the next episode that we're going to recap is called Heaven Sent?
Is episode twenty five, you guys for next week?

Do you think he goes to heaven?
Speaker 2Okay, So, Loreene, you said we are going to love it.

Let's just say Tracy, Oh, I don't know.
Something with Tracy and Brandon.
Speaker 2Mm hm, boy got chills.
Speaker 1Oh boy, I'm glad because this felt so fillery.
This episode felt it was like filler for your dad, like to get better, I know, filler for even for like the relationship of Val and Cutie Pie.
It felt filler for Stephen, like felt filler for Kelly and Brandon's story.
Like I just felt like, oh, come on, do something.
Speaker 2So wait, Okay, so if it aired, sorry, I'm just gonna back this real quick if it aired April April, so would it have been a double up we would have filmed.
Oh gosh, what's the reason it's a filler?
You're right, it is a filler episode?
Why though?
Speaker 1I don't know.
I guess they have an something that they have planned that they're getting to in storylines, but they just have to have all this blah blah blah to get there.
I don't know.
Speaker 2Well, I know what's kind of coming.
So I do love the Kelly Brandon stuff because it gives me something as a fan to be like psyched for it, like I know it's coming soon.
Speaker 1Well, okay, yeah, okay, what do you rate it?
What do you rate it?
Oh?
Speaker 2God, I'm sorry.
I can't go above a seven, I know, and that's being really kind.
Speaker 1There's no ten in it, no, I mean the bear Naked Ladies were fun to watch for maybe one song, but three.
Speaker 2Shoot, why would you bring that up?
Now?
We have to give it up, bucket mine, they get a ten.
We can't keep doing You can't separate storylines and giving tens?
Speaker 1Why not?
Speaker 2I don't know what's your gut though, Okay, take them out of it, take me your naked ladies?
Speaker 1What would you rate this without them?
Well, we did go to Hong Kong, which was a little bit exciting.
Really, yeah, nothing really exciting happened there.
You're right, Okay, I'm going to give it a six.
Speaker 2And she's being nice just because she loves James.
Speaker 1Echous so much.
