  Speaker 1: Welcome to A Different Worldview with Daryl and Kadeem, a
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: production of the Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartRadio. Hey,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I know you. Different Worldview with Daryl Kadeem. Oh, boy.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: You know me because I'm Daryl. And I'm Kadeem. That
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is who we are.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And here we are with episode two. Do we have
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to do this? Yes, we do. Okay. We've got to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: do this for at least 144 more episodes. You keep
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: saying that. That doesn't make anything better, bro. It doesn't
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: make anything. Look, the whole point is we can't get
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: fired here. Yeah. We are here until people stop listening.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And I guess the hardest part for me will be
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the first 25, 22. You were worried about watching season one, bro?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: It was some things. Look, I've never really watched it.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: That's the point. I'm saying, I think you're going to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: find season one more charming than you think. Look, for
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: all of the criticism that season one gets, let's remember, like,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Ambitz did say it was just the number two show
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: on television. It's true.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: All I did was deliver them the second highest rated
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: show on television and got fired for it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And then they said that they could have put a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: bag of garbage up there in the Cosby's shop. Behind
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the Cosby's show and it would have been hit. And
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it would have been number two.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Not true because they tested other shows in that time
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: slot and they didn't perform the way we did.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Okay. And then, don't get me started, there's some science
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: coming later down the road where Our show moved ahead
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of the country. This is true. And nobody else did
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: that on NBC. That's true. But us. Yeah. But here
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we are. Yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: And we're going to dive into all that because I
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: think you will find there are Easter eggs in season
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: one for what was to come in season two.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to find some of that. Okay.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: And I think if there's an analogy to be made,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Homeboys in outer space.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, see? Whoa, whoa, where
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you going? Where you going? Where you been? Homeboys in
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: outer space. Is this a shameless plug? Is hated... So
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: much more than for how bad or good it really was.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But you had to watch. The reputation of Homeboys in
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Outer Space is so much worse than the actual show.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So many people say, when they hear about Homeboys in
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Outer Space, oh my God, name two episodes. Most people
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: can't because they never watch. They only know that it
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is so maligned that they believe it must have been awful.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And again, let me be clear. I mean, we're just starting. Yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Some of the best advice I got, because I've become
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: really good friends with Shy McBride.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And before Shy and I were really cool, at the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: same time.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Homeboys was on UPN, Shy was starring in The Secret
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Diaries of Desmond Pfeiffer.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, right.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Which was about the slaves. Yes. They had a sitcom
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: about a slave. And everybody said, how about Homeboys? I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: remember that. Folks don't even remember it was even on television. Yeah, wow.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Don't even remember it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: And I mean, it was all talking about the Pfeiffer
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: and the P was silent and all this.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: So I was, I think we were at the UPN
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: premiere party for all the new shows. And I asked Shy,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: was he getting a lot of heat for Desmond Fiverr
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: because we were getting all this heat about Homeboys in
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Outer Space. And this is before it even aired. So
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I said, let me ask you a question. Did you
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: write Homeboys in Outer Space?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I did not. Do you have an agent? I do.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Did your agent call you with an appointment? He did.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Are you an actor? Yes. Did you agree to go
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: on the audition? I did. Did you work for it? Yes.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Did you study? Yes. When you went in to perform,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: did you do the best work you could do? Yes.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Did they hire you? Yes, they did. Did they pay you? Yes,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: they did. Then fuck what everybody else has to say.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I don't give a damn. That's all you're responsible for.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: The rest is bullshit and don't listen to it until
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you have to get another job and do the same
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: fucking thing. Some of the best advice I ever got
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: in my career. I never worried about it again from then.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Never worried about it again. And also just, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: here we are talking about whatever. One of my biggest
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: fans from Homeboys in Outer Space, Roseanne Barr.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Rosie.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I was, the first time I met Roseanne Barr, we're
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: on the lot at Carsey Warner and I'm coming into
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: the kitchen and I had just gotten off my motorcycle.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: So I had my helmet on my arm And Roseanne
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was coming down the street.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: She said, oh, just like a man sees a woman
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: and got something hard between his legs.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: What? That was Hello to Roseanne. Roseanne Barr.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Yikes.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I remember I was out somewhere and saw Roseanne. And
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: she said, I'm such a fan of Homeboys in Outer Space.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: And I thought she was playing with me.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Then she started naming the episode. Wow. Like, she watched. Okay. And... Her.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Comments to me were, she said, I really thought it
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: was going to be biting satire like In Living Color.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And that's where it started. Then you guys went a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: different direction. I said, yeah, because if you go back
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to the very beginning with James Duhon, again, one of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the greatest pleasures in life that I had to work
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: with James Duhon.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: He was such a kind man. And, you know, it's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: James Duhon. But we were doing that spoof off of
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: our mechanic. was James Doohan. So when Morris would say,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: you know, I need more from the hootie.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Captain, I'm giving it all to these guys. You know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: James would give us that. UPN was the subsidiary of Paramount.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Paramount sent a cease and desist letter to UPN saying,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: saying that we were infringing on Star Trek IP, and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: they were going to sue us if we kept using
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: James Doohan in that capacity. Wow. And that put an
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: end to James Doohan on our show. And then we
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: went to, I think it was the first episode where
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: we landed on this remote planet And they were so
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: far off in the galaxy, only one satellite beam was
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: coming to them from Bet. And so that's all they
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: had seen for decades. And when Morris and Ty landed,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: all these people rushed to Hoopty. We thought they were
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: going to try to kill him. And when they saw us,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: they all bowed down like we were gods. Because the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: signal from BET was B-E-T. So the only signal they
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: was getting was all black comedians. And all they knew
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: was black folks, so they thought we were gods. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: they saw two black folks, they were like, oh!
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: So some executive at UPN decided, that's the show. Every week,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: they're going to crash land on another planet where this happens.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: So it went from... trying to spoof, you know, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: have some commentary.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: About black people in space, like what Roseanne liked.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: So all that to say, everyone loves season two when
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Debbie comes on board so much that there are a
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: lot of folks that say, but if you go back
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: and watch season one, which is what we're going to do,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: it may not be as bad as you think.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: That was the point. Your mouth, God's ears. What have
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I gotten myself into?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Look, look, everyone.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I've told everyone, notwithstanding, and we're going to get into
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: some of the episodes. We know that, look, they put
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: a pig nose on one of the most beautiful women
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: in the world. And you wondered, what was the point
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: of that?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, I believed they loved all
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the characters, even if they didn't love all the storytelling.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And there's some of the storytelling that's very good, though. Some.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: You're going to... You said it, y'all, not me. You're
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: going out with a girl with her own apartment.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: See?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: That was season one. Yes, it was. Peggy... Yes! That's
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: season one, player. That's... Her name from Square Peg. No, but...
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Ron Howard and his partner... Glazer. Brian Glazer. Brian Glazer
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: called me after that episode. Oh, is that right? And
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I had my first meeting with a studio exec. Is
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that right? I had no idea what to do at
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a meeting with a studio exec. I kind of sat
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: there and was like, it's a dope-ass office. Holy shit,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you can see me. downtown i didn't know i didn't
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: know what to do he was on the phone i
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: was just kind of chilling and looking around and i
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: was like wow brian yeah and he wanted to talk
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: about that episode no kidding and that was how i
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: got in his room. I was like, yeah, I would
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: love to do something like Back to the Future.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Never heard from him again. But yeah, that
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: was that episode. Never heard from him. Brian Grazier, if
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you're out there.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: What happened? What happened? I don't know. For real. We
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: should have another conversation. You know what? That reminds me.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: We've had, excuse me, in the annals of Hollywood, A
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: lot of folks are well-meaning. And things don't always work out.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: You go and meet folks and you just want to see.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: But I remember when we were having the conversation with
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the two guys who had seen Shaun of the Dead.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It was so fun. They were like, you guys. We
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: were like, Shaun of the Dead. We want to make
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a movie with you guys. I remember that. And y'all
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: should be just like that same sort of funny chemistry.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Some horror and that sort of thing. We were like, Oh,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: hell yeah. Let's do that. This sounds like fun. Never just.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: What happened? We're still waiting to do. What happened though?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: We're still waiting to do Shaun of the Hood. Shaun
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: of the Hood never came about. Ramon of the Hood.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Ramon of the Hood. Ramon of the Dead. It never
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: worked out. Shaun and Ramon of the Dead. Shout out
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to my cousins.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had plenty of meetings like that about what
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: could be. But that's another reason why we're doing this.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hell yeah. We're going to find out. We're going
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to talk about those some guns that never called us back.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: If we're talking about first episodes, is there a show
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: that you loved that you thought the first season was and,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: but then it became great? Any series like that?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: No, it's funny. Usually started high in the pilot. Yeah,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: there are a lot like that. And then kind of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: goes a little like, eh... They lost me after about
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: three or four. You know what? You've got me trying
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to work. I'm trying to work through Severance.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Because the first season, I'm trying to plow through. Oh,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: it's a slow burn, but so good. Exactly. That's what
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I mean. And the fact that you have at least
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: two seasons, because I got pissed because they told me
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to watch it, and then there's a giant cliffhanger. Yeah.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: So I was pissed because I have been from about
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: episode one four or five on, I clicked into something
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and was like, when are we going to, and when
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: is it going to, and then you kind of get
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that with 30 seconds to go. And I was like,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you mother, I called my agent. Why did you tell
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: me to watch this shit? You know, I don't like
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: this kind of shit. Wait till next season to figure out. Yeah.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: But Severance is good. Severance, Severance really is one of
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: those shows. And you know me, I watched the first season.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Fool me once, I haven't watched since. I'll wait till
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: they're all uploaded. I'll wait till the series finale and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: then I'll watch. I haven't seen a frame of Game
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of Thrones. I did the same thing. I waited until
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: two months before the finale. Yeah. And then I watched
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a season a week. And I got through all of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: them and I was right on time. I was 45
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: minutes behind everybody watching the finale. And I loved it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't have that two or three year wait where
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: everybody was like, ah, this is awful. What's going on?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: What's happening next? I just was like, whew, this was
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a ride. Yeah. I'm done. Thank you. Well done.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: See, I need to do that on a plane and
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: get through all those seasons.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I can't do that. Game of Thrones need to be like,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that need to be big. Game of Thrones? Sure.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I think of where I have dedicated time
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: to binge like that. And I don't do multiple screens
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: on a plane. I watch a dedicated piece of something.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: But I'm still trying to think of things that were
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: first season, slow burn, where I was like, stick with it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: It's going to take a minute.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, different world.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Stick with it. It's going to get there. We're coming
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: around to something eventually, maybe. I don't know. But if
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you hang in and give us a chance, we might
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: have something for you in season two.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: This is such shade and such reverence at the same time.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know if everyone out there is really ready
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: for that. That was probably more honesty than you really wanted. Listen,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I said this to my executive producer. Which one? We
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: only have one. Oh, here. Yes. No, no, no. My
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: executive producer, I say, Debbie Allen. Yes. Is responsible. Yes.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: All about the Benjamins remix and what's the scenario remix aside. Yes.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I think for the greatest remix in the history of
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the world. Hmm. She took an existing thing. Yes. Different world,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: season one. Existing characters. Yep. Remixed it. Yes. Into what is,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: has become the thing that inspired thousands to go to school,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: tens of thousands to go to school, like changed people's lives.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And I don't think we were on that trajectory.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: No.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: In season one. Season one was not going to have
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: that kind of a... It was the remix. Yes. Remix. Yeah.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: The greatest remix in the history of the world. But,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I think you need to give, one, no
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: pushback against a syllable of what you said right there,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: but also... Susan Fales. Oh, yeah. Had a lot to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: do with that. Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: And, you know, then you can go down to all
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: the other writers in the room and, you know, we
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: can talk about Yvette and Glenn Baerbaum and.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Mimi and Jeanette and Gary Miller.

  Speaker 2: Gary.

  Speaker 1: Orlando Jones, who started off as a writer. Reggie Rock Bythewood,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Gina Prince Bythewood.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: So many folks don't know Orlando started as an apprentice
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: writer on our show.

  Speaker 1: I know. Rob Lewis.

  Speaker 1: So that's, that's impressive. Let's get into it. So we're
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: going to tee up 1987, 830 on Thursday. Yeah. First
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: episode of A Different World, season one. Reconcilable Differences is
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the name of the episode. Let's be sure. Is that
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: the title? Man, I just said what the name of
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the episode is. Don't play with me. Hopefully, you're going
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to be here the whole time. All right, let's look.

  Speaker 1: Really good credits. And the lettering. Look at the colors.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: The color on her. Look at y'all. Fantastic. Marissa's hair
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: is red. Everybody thought my name, because of the credits,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: everybody thought my name was Jasmine Guy. Because they show Dawn,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: they show Marissa, and then they show me, and they
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: say Jasmine Guy. That's hilarious. Wait, wait, that ain't me.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: That's not Loretta Devine. But then I get my own little, hey,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: there I am, running in. That's got to be him.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Those glasses in the credits, those didn't flip up, did they? Yes. Oh. Yes.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Those are the ones Anne Beats gave them to me.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And then my favorite moment in the credits was right here.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Me and Lisa just laughing, and then they said, action.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And then we had to go and walk and do
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: whatever the action was laid out for us to do.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Lisa loves it. Look at you playing piano. Yeah, I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: don't play piano. Clearly. I don't play piano. How would
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: you know from that? Exactly. I was doing it. Shout out,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Anne Beats. Rest in peace. Oh, snap.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Wait, if we pause there for two seconds, I don't know.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: The first frame of A Different World is Kadeem Hardison.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: The first frame of this series ever is not even
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Lisa Bonet. It is Kadeem Hardison.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: From here, I went right to the bathroom, bro. I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: went right to the bathroom. So not only is that wild,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: but also the last frame of A Different World is
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: It's me. Yeah. Yeah.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: That is hilarious. That's crazy. That's crazy.

• 18:50
  Speaker 7: Woodley go off is my face.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Then you was acting up a storm. I was crying
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: like a baby by then. So we'll have to get there.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: But that's unreal that we book in the series. That's crazy.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: That's nuts. All right, let's go. Trained and untrained. Yeah,

  Speaker 5: Anything you can think of.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: You know, you may need someone to talk to or

  Speaker 1: someone to hold your hand. This isn't bad.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Someone to hold your other hand.
• 19:16

  Speaker 6: Denise, and this is my luggage.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, let me help you with that.

  Speaker 5: This time with no respect at all. Okay. Out, out, out.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going, Denise.
• 20:45

• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, hi.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Thanks. It's so nice to be in this dorm.
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: You know, compared to freshman dorms, this place is like paradise.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's so nice to meet you.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Don't lose that enthusiasm. Look at Devon. Oh, my God.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: You know, my mom used to live in this dorm.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: And my dad used to live on those steps. Well,
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: times haven't changed. Let's see, Huxtable.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: Huxtable, you're in 20Y with Delisa Vinson.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: And I think she's here already. Oh, great. I can't
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: wait to meet her. Thanks, Mrs.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Rollins.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: Oh, the name is Stevie.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Stevie.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And there she is. There's your guy. So she didn't
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: start as a freshman, right? Denise was already a sophomore? No,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: she was a freshman, too. She said she was just arriving.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: But how did Whitley and her know each other? She
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: just came down and introduced herself. Oh, okay.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: What's wild is the whole story that Jasmine, his name
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: is in the opening credits, but she wasn't in the
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: title sequence.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Because we shot that on the weekend, and then they
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: cast her Monday. Monday morning, she went from the table read,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, from the audition, right to the table read.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Downstairs to the table. Yeah, so she wasn't there for
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday when we shot the credits.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: Well, of course, that alone doesn't make her a bad person.
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: It's just that I've also heard she's had a brush
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: with the law. What?
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Brush with the law?
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: Of course, I don't think a prestigious institution like Hillman
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: would admit criminals to you.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Erica, welcome back, sweetie.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to me. So Whitley wasn't her friend. Right. Yeah,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: because she said, how's your summer? Yeah, welcome back.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Hi. Hi.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Don't lose. Don't need to lose.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: You must be 26. Oh, I didn't mean that. You
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: don't look 26.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: You know, you don't even look a day over. Why
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: don't we just start over?
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, great.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: I'd like that.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: Hi, I'm Jaleesa.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: Hi, Jaleesa.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: I'm single.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Nobody else is doing crazy shit with their hands like
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I was. Well, they a trait. You both. Teenagers. These are,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you know, right in the divine stage actors. Yes, I
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: was married.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: It lasted for two years.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I had no children while we.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Were married, but my husband did.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: That's why I would report.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: Anything else you want to know?
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: No, just let me deal with what you just told me. Gee,
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: you got a lot of books.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I hear they're big on that in college.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know, you were the first 26-year-old divorced person
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: that I've ever lived with. Oh, wow, I should probably ask,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: have you picked a bed?
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that one.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Are all those clothes yours, or did you mug Joan
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Collins on the way over here?
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Funny, really funny.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: The shade between the two of them off the top, huh?
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Gee, are you always that organized? Oh, basically.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: I just can't live around... clutter.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, either.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: I can't live around that, either.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, but my sister Vanessa made this for me. See?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Vanessa.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: They're dental retainers.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: You're dropping all the Huxley names.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: It was a going-away present.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: You should have said, my.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Executive producer made this for me. Wouldn't she have just given.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: You a watch?
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Michelle. Michelle. You knew all the extras. You knew all
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the extras. Oh, damn. Word, shorty. How is she sick
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: of you? It's only the second time she saw you.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: Word.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Because I'm coming with hands. Look at her hands. Won't stop.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: And you read this, you're going to know it, too.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: I think that says it all.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: To whom it may concern? That's you.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: It concerns you. Oh, man. Florida is hard to watch.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: If your idea of heaven is driving down a winding
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: country road in France and an elegant racing machine with
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: soft music on the stereo, a couple of Philly cheesesteaks
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: in the glove compartment.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: Okay, just take it and read it at your leisure
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: and call me. And if I'm not in, I'll be
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: picking up the cheese sink.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, hi. Denise.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Come on in.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: What are we doing with you?
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: So, what brings you here?
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: She's playing with her son. His son, yeah.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: Why are you wearing those on your head?
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: I forgot to tell you.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I'm a Martian.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: Oh, you are?
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, hello.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Masters of the Universe. That's his shirt that you can't
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: read with the upscaling. Now, the question is, who's the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: young man? Oh, God, what was his name? I don't know,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: but I would love to see where he is right now.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: See?
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: That's a guest we should be having on the podcast
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: right now. See where that young man is and what
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: his career's doing.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Watch me find out he's Brian Grace's partner.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: That's little Donald Glover there. Y'all didn't know that? Right?
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: I guess this is no time to be a Martian.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I know this probably sounds like I'm overreacting, but, you know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: my dad always says, um, if you feel strongly about something,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: then just to follow your instinct.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: After one day?
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Well, he also says not to procrastinate.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: Your father's very talkative.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Well, Stevie, you know, I come from a very big family,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: and I get along with all sorts of people.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: I really do, but I don't know.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: Jaleesa's different.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Everything I say, everything seems to rub her the wrong way.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I just don't think that girl likes me.
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's just been one day. Now, Denise, unless the
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: woman is a.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: Criminal, you two should be able to find a way
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: to live together.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Unless she's a criminal. Is there something.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: About Julissa that no one is telling me?
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Denise, this is college. This is not computer dating. There
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: are no perfect matches. I know, but this is really,
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: really a bad match. I just don't think that we
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: were meant to be together.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: They have no idea what's going on. Yeah, exactly. Whitley.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Whitley Gilbert.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: He had so much style on the show, bro. Just
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: like her whole fit. He always was put together so well.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of that's her. Man. I mean. And I
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: bought every line she ever said, like. Situation. I never,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: none of it, you know, I don't know. People weren't like, ah,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Denise is the character. They like this character more, that
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: character more. And I just thought she was the Mary
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Tyler Moore that kind of we all revolved around. For
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: all the other folks at the news station. Yeah, yeah.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: She was the one centerpiece that we all were allowed
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: to be goofy and silly and southern and a criminal
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: or whatever that means. But she was anchoring.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: You were talking to Stevie about me.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: Well, all Stevie said was, you know, how important.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: She thought it was that we got along.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: You asked for a new roommate, didn't you?
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: No.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: What? Well, okay, yeah, but, you know, I've changed my mind.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: I am perfectly happy with you.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't believe you.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: You went to talk to Stevie about changing roommates behind
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: my back without even asking me?
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Well, okay, I admit that I was wrong, but I
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: was just following my father's advice.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'm sure your father told you to be selfish, rude,
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: and sneaky. Oh, no, not exactly in those words. Fox,
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: you're worse than I thought.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: I'm worse than you thought. What were you thinking?
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: That you're a spoiled, bougie, rich kid with more clothes
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: than brains who's going to be impossible for me to
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: get along with.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, well, is that right, Julissa?
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore because
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: it just so happens I do.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: Have a choice of roommates, okay?
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: That's Whitley. That was off to a rocky start right there.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I don't remember.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: I would say cut to the classroom. We should be
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: in the classroom. No, we're in school.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: All the perfumes. All the perfumes. We have landed. Oh,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: that isn't even Whitley Gilbert. No, it's her room. She's
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: moving in with Whitley. Sure enough, that is Whitley's room. Yeah.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Do you need some help?
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: Just put them all around my bed.
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: I just hate shopping alone. I can never decide what
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: I want, so I just buy everything.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: Me too.
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: I'm just sorry I couldn't find a wheelchair.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: A wheelchair?
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: If you put one in the back seat of your car,
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: it's about the only way you can find a place
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: to park that's not in the boonies.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, Whitley, that's terrible. Well, should I be punished because
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: I can walk?
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: She got to say the worst shit.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Well, Whitley, life has punished you enough.
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: I just can't tell you how thrilled I am that
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: we're going to be rooming together.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: You and I can have a ball.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Listen, do you know how to do foot massages?
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't give him pointed toes. Word up.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: What a.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Shame.
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: You know, Denise, when Stevie first approached me about extending
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: my hospitality to you, I was somewhat taken aback. Then
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: I found out that you come from a fine family.
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: I mean, my dad is a judge and your dad
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: is a what?
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: A dentist.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Close.

  Speaker 6: He's an obstetrician and gynecologist.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: My, how interesting.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: This year is gonna be so much fun.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: What is that?
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, this.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Well, this is my sister Vanessa made this for me.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: It's made out of an old dental retainer.
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: Those things have been in people's.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Mouths.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: Just my mouth, Whitley.
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm going to go take a shower.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: I feel like Miss Greedy City.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Miss Greedy City.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Will. Silly me, I almost forgot.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 32:08

  Speaker 5: Oh, shut up and let's dance.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Whitley and Dwayne from the first episode? In the pilot.

  Speaker 2: What?
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: In the pilot. What dances are we doing? What is
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: everybody doing? Oh, my gosh. See, it's a nervous act
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: of putting his hands in his pockets to keep him
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: from acting up a storm without his control.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Just continue to get the top of my convertible closed.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: Oh, no problem.
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: Dwayne, you'll have many more chances to be nice to me,
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: I promise, but I need a man here.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Well, I guess I could do it.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Could you, Chip?
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: I'm just afraid of my catch of chilling and not airing.
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't want to give anything to my new roomie.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, I think you're giving it to me pretty good.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: I was just around the corner.
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: Your arm is just one big muscle.
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: Your arm is one big muscle?
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: The woman left me standing here on the dance floor alone.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Whatever happened to shibbles? You had a lovely performance where
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: you basically said nothing. Jesus. It don't work. I was like, why?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: You're the highest paid expert in that scene. Why? Why
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: am I talking? Why am I here?
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: Ah.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy. This is the first episode.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: We have yet to hit a classroom. I know. And
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: we were... They shot two episodes before I got there.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Two or three. Yes. Two or three before. And then
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: they shot... went back. Cut us in.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: We haven't even gotten to that part yet. We're still
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: first one, but yes. They had shot a couple before
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Dwayne was cast and Whitley was cast. They were added afterwards.
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: What are you doing here?
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: Well, what does it look like I'm doing here?
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Well, from the way you're rolling back and forth, I'd
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: say an impression of Stevie Wonder.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Shout out, Stevie.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to get some sleep, Teresa.
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: Well, you know they have beds for that now.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I have a perfectly good reason for being down here, okay?
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: Oh, let me guess.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Whitley? No, Whitley and I are doing just fine. In fact,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Whitley and I went dancing tonight at the pit. I
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: even met a really nice guy. He's fixing Whitley's car
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: right now. But we're doing fine, just fine.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, so what if the girl only uses a
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: bar of soap once? Or doesn't eat cheese?
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Or allow anyone else to eat cheese in the rooms?
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: So what if this girl has got to fall asleep
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: to the sound of crickets?
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, she's entitled, right?
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: She doesn't let you eat cheese?
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Hey, there are plenty of places on this campus where
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I can eat cheese, okay? Fine, good.
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go to bed. Fine.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Eat cheese?
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Before you go, can you just do me one little favor?
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: What?
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Take me with you!
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: She's driving me nuts! She locks the phone, she steals men! Denise, please!
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: She locks the phone, she steals men.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: She doesn't eat cheese. She won't let me eat pizza
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: in bed.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: It's un-American.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: Huxtable, please, let me go.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Huxtable, let me go. That's pretty good when you call
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: a girl by her last name. She's been calling over that? Yes.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Since the beginning? Right.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: Julissa, I want to move back.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: Well, isn't that special?
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Isn't that special? That was a commercial, right? Isn't that special? No,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: that was Dana Carvey's Saturday Night Live. Yes.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: Look, I didn't socialize much last year because I felt strange,
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: you know, out of place about being older. But I thought, hey,
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: it's a new year. Go live in the dorm. After all,
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: college is more than just books.
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: Yes, I thought that.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: But as soon as I got here, all I heard was, Did.
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: You hear Jaleesa did so-and-so? Jaleesa this, Jaleesa that. Jaleesa
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: once punched out a teacher.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: I heard it was a dean.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: See, I felt like you all had your minds made
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: up about me, so I got my back up.
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: And, well, maybe I'm not the easiest person to live with.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Well. Did you really punch somebody? I was trying to
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: judge you so quickly. That was pretty unfriendly.
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but I have to learn to give things more time.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see, I have an easier time watching when it's
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: somebody else on screen. Yeah, but, you know, Dwayne was charming. Yeah.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: And the question is, if you watch it now, how
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: would you go back and play it differently? No, I
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: wouldn't change anything. Yeah. For that time. Oh, I remember this.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: This was a night that they kind of got... They
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: had written themselves out of ideas and was like, we're
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: going to end this show with the girls eating pizza
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: on the bed. And they didn't have any pizza boxes.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: And I think that's a New York.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Pizza box. They ordered a pizza from somewhere and it
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: was a, yeah, yeah, and it was a New York,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: it said New York pizza on it and they had
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: to greek out the box or something like that because
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: it just, you know. Rich from props. And this was,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I think we were like, um, this might have been
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: like one.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: In the morning.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's California Pizza Kitchen. Guaranteed that's California Pizza Kitchen. Yeah,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: that logo familiar. In Virginia.
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Right, that's what it was. California Pizza Kitchen in Virginia.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: And this was like 1.30 in the morning. The audience
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: was gone. Yes. And it was just like brutal.

• 41:31
  Speaker 1: was in the first shot. You could see him in the... Wow,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: they completely... They changed it up. Yeah, because you remember,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: it was slow motion. It was everybody kind of Super
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: 8 film, slow motion. Ooh, I made it. Oh, that's
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: the first episode. Oh, Jesus. Yeah. That was... And interesting,
• 41:54

• 41:57
  Speaker 3: No other male student had any dialogue at all in
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: the entire.

• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I can't walk at it. I probably wouldn't change a thing.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Cause it was supposed to be like, I really thought
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: I was, I really thought I was in the pocket
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: when we did it.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: And it's only when you see it and you go, wait, whoa,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: who did that? Who told you to, when did that happen? And, and,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: and wait, it wasn't a single frame of Marissa told
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: me in that episode. No. Wow.
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: There's not a single friend. Oh, she's the roommate that
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: comes next. But she's in the... Yeah, she's in the credits.
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: She's in the credits.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Unlike Jasmine. And they had filmed episodes with her before that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Yet this is the first episode.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Stunning.
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Jasmine is in it, but not Marissa in the first episode.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I wonder if she was in the pilot. They moved
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: her to make her entrance in the second season because
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: they get a new roommate. So it's the three of
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: them now going to be in the room.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: edited the stuff that we did with me and Jasmine
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: up into it to fill it out. Cause that was
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: the word that went out was that after the three
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: episodes they shot, they need some new characters. They're looking
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: for new characters.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: I went because, uh, when, by the time I was
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: more than just a day player, the three of us
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: went back with, um, John, John Rosenbaum.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: No, no. Uh, John Walt. No, John. Oh, my gosh. Oh, wow. John, not...
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Curly hair. Yeah, John. We both see him. Oh, it's
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: hurting my heart to say his name.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: And for some reason, I'm going to say Jonathan Lithgow. No,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: not John Amos.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: No, definitely not. No. John Roper. Oh, shit. That's terrible.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: That's terrible. We're going to look it up. That's old
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: people shit right there. Yes. But John was. Rego. John Rego.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I knew it was an R. I got it. John Rego.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: That's training, folks. Thank you, John Rego. Come on. Yes.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: John Rego was our director. And we went back and
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: shot like three episodes. with just us.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: And it was one where we were taking the air
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: conditioner up and down the stairs.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: And it's only Dwayne, Ron, and Whitley interact.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: And Denise, Maggie, and Jaleesa interact. And we never cross.
• 45:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I think so. I think you're right. We got like
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: three episodes like that. Where they went back to add
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: us in. That's pretty good. And I am today years old.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: I would have lost All my money, if you said,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: what was Marissa doing in the first episode? Yeah. Boom. Yeah, nothing.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: And that's one of the other things. I look forward
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: to having Ellen Falcon.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Because I want to get Ellen's perspective on what all
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: this is.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: God. Yeah, she could probably make me feel better. She'll
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: tell you why they liked you.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Because you can't figure it out. I'm still trying to
